My spy diary

Chapter 274 Some Experience (asking for monthly ticket)

"Director, all the newspapers today."

In the temporary office, Zhang Yi was checking the student information of the Linli training class when Monkey walked in with a stack of newspapers.

Zhang Yi took it and flipped through it. Almost all the newspapers were condemning the Japanese atrocities. Only "Shen Bao" had a small report on the death of Berritt, which consisted of only a few dozen words and was unclear.

Monkey sneered, "I heard that the British Embassy was clamoring very fiercely. They collected the body and immediately sent it to the hospital for a special examination, but nothing was found. In the end, they could only close the case as a heart attack."

"You deserve it!" Zhang Yi snorted coldly. The liquid that Qian Xiaosan injected into Berritt was not poison, but a drug that induced heart disease. Berritt had a heart attack, and taking the medicine handed to him by the cleaner after the medicine was swapped did not relieve his symptoms. Instead, it made it more difficult for him to breathe, and he eventually died of heart failure.

The British could not find any results after their investigation. Even though they knew the truth, without any evidence, they could only swallow their anger and say nothing to the outside world, closing the case quietly.

Monkey was about to say something when there was a knock on the door and Liao Hua came.

"Special Commissioner, this is my report."

"Major Liao, you have worked hard. Please sit down."

Zhang Yi pointed at the chair and began to read the report. The report still contained the items listed by Liao Hua, but the content was more detailed.

After reading for a while, he put away the report and looked at Liao Hua.

It is said that the wisdom, energy and level displayed by a person in different positions are completely different.

Liao Hua, the anti-Red pioneer, is undoubtedly qualified for the position of political instructor. His actions are undoubtedly based on guessing what Boss Dai is thinking. However, moderation is important in officialdom. He jumps up and down like this, making the situation tense. Isn't he afraid of arousing public anger?
It would be fine if you could kill your opponent completely, but since you can't kill him, instead of leaving a mortal enemy, it's better to be a good person and do a favor.

As the saying goes, when curing a disease or a patient, one should stop at the right time. While breaking the window paper and forcing the patient to retreat voluntarily, one should also give him a way to live. Not only will this leave him a favor, but as long as one has the evidence, he will always be able to use it in the future.

But there was no need to say this to Liao Hua. Zhang Yi didn't care what happened to him. He knocked on the table and asked:
"How did you handle the issue of students circulating the Xinhua Daily?"

"After we noticed this problem, we first talked to these students individually, and the political instructors of each team collected their names and secretly examined their words and deeds.

After this, we will check all letters and books mailed to the school in advance, and any letters or books found to be improper will be confiscated.

But students soon discovered this problem, and they began to forward letters through shops and residents outside. Although we have banned it, some unscrupulous vendors and unruly people will still take risks for their own benefit. "

At this point, Liao Hua smiled proudly:
"Later we found Jia Daxiong, the owner of the largest department store in Linli, and after using threats and inducements, he agreed to cooperate.

On the surface, he was trying to win over business by forwarding letters, but secretly he would first send the letters to us for inspection before forwarding them to the students, so that all students with abnormalities were recorded by us. "

Students in the training class receive a salary during the training period, which is 12 months per month. However, they spend three or four yuan at most on meals in the school cafeteria, and have eight or nine yuan in pocket money. Although the legal currency has depreciated, in a county town, a few yuan is enough for a family to live on for a month. It would be strange if residents did not take risks if students were paid.

"How do you deal with these students who violate the rules?"

"They are all in solitary confinement. Deputy Director Yu said that they are all delicate girls and difficult to deal with."

"It's hard to handle, right?" Zhang Yi said seriously:

"Boss Dai has already given instructions on this. All trainees must fill out forms in advance, take a collective oath, and go through the formalities of joining the Military Control Commission. In addition, those staff members who are temporarily introduced by other agents to attend the special training class must also go through the formalities."

Liao Hua was overjoyed: "Great! This way, we can put shackles around their necks first. As long as they join the Military Control Commission, they can be punished by military law and family rules for anything they do in the future."

"It's good that you understand." Zhang Yi had a blank expression on his face and continued to ask, "How did this instructor surnamed Jin cause someone's death during teaching?"

"The student who died was Yan Wei. He was naughty and mischievous. He was very dissatisfied with his instructors. He deliberately made things difficult for Instructor Jin during the grappling class. Jin Minjie didn't tolerate him and killed him directly. Yan Wei suffered internal injuries and died a few days later.
Although I strongly condemned this practice of disregarding human life, all the instructors disagreed. They said that in order to maintain their prestige, they must severely punish the naughty students.

It sounds horrifying that they would use students' lives as bargaining chips for the sake of prestige, but it is commonplace in military academies these days.

Zhang Yi pulled out Jin Minjie's resume, took a look at it, and asked curiously, "Is this person a North Korean? How did he get into the special training class?"

Liao Hua pondered, "This person once worked in the Songjiang Class in Shanghai. He is said to be an expert in operations. He was invited by Deputy Director Yu to continue to serve as an instructor."

After a pause, he added: "This person will perform at the welcome party for the special envoy tonight."

"Really? Then I'd like to see it for myself."

Compared to the performance, he was more interested in this North Korean named Kim Min-jie.

Jin Minjie, whose real name is Park Mingjie, reported that his entire family was killed by the Japanese and he was the only one who survived.

After fleeing to Northeast China, he first fought guerrilla warfare with the Korean government-in-exile in Northeast China. In 36, he went to Shanghai to make a living. By chance, he entered the Songjiang training class of the Secret Service in Shanghai during the Battle of Shanghai, and then entered the Linli special training class.

Although the resume was detailed and seemed flawless, in Zhang Yi's opinion, his resume before the Northeast was full of mystery.

According to his resume, he was only twelve years old when the Park family was massacred. How did a twelve-year-old boy escape the Japanese? Could he have survived just by changing his name?
Maybe it was just luck, but for Zhang Yi, as an intelligence worker, his job is to look for the inevitability in details and logical relationships and to conduct reasoning and analysis. Besides, how could there be so many coincidences and luck in this world?
The dinner party in the evening was unique.

First, the instructors and students sent representatives to toast Zhang Yi, and then they demonstrated their special agent skills.

The first person to come on stage was Li Neng, a student from the action team.

The man took off his clothes, leaving his upper body naked, and placed a large stone slab weighing hundreds of pounds on his abdomen, but his face remained calm and his heart remained motionless.

Then his companion picked up a hammer and smashed the stone slab. After a few "bangs", the stone slab shattered, but Li Neng was unharmed. He triumphantly did a few somersaults and drew applause.

After a few Peking Opera performances, another person jumped onto the stage. He saluted, looked around, and said, "Jin Minjie, sorry for the embarrassment."

Jin Minjie is about 1.6 meters tall, around 30 years old, with a sturdy and flexible body. Although he has bow legs, he walks lightly and silently, and it is obvious that he is a martial artist.

As he said this, he pointed towards the stage and asked a young orderly, who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old and had a young face, to come on stage.

The orderly went on stage tremblingly, and before he could react, Jin Minjie acted as fast as lightning and locked the orderly's throat with one hand. But in just a few seconds, his hand loosened and the orderly fell straight down.

The crowd was in an uproar.

A student rushed to the stage to check, and after feeling the orderly's breath and confirming that he was not dead, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly pinched his Ren Zhong point, but the orderly was unconscious.

"Let me do it!" Jin Minjie was very proud. He pushed the trainees away, picked up the orderly from the ground, and then slapped him hard on the back. The orderly came back to life instantly.

This sudden surprise livened up the atmosphere and caused the crowd to cheer and applaud loudly.

Yu Lexing came over and said, "Not bad, right?"

"It's really eye-opening." Zhang Yi said casually, but his eyes were paying attention to Jin Minjie's every move.

"It's already past twelve o'clock, can we end it now? We have prepared a midnight snack later." Yu Lexing had just said this when a big spy suddenly stood up and said:

"Deputy Director Zhang is here as a special commissioner. This is a great honor for the Linli Special Training Class. I wonder if I have the honor to see the special commissioner's demeanor?"

This proposal immediately received unanimous approval from everyone and thunderous applause broke out.

Yu Lexing glared at him. He saw other instructors and cadres watching coldly. The students started to make noises and applauded for several minutes. However, Zhang Yi did not move at all and even closed his eyes. The atmosphere gradually became awkward. He could only whisper:
"Yun Yi, how about just doing some casual tricks. Shooting or boxing will do."

"Haha." Zhang Yi opened his eyes and smiled. He was not hesitating just now, but receiving information.

While closing his eyes to rest, several pieces of information jumped into his mind.

[1. You met Liao Hua today and obtained relevant information - Liao Hua, formerly known as Zhou Wenmin, codenamed "Bagpipe", was the organizer, secretary, and clerk of the Red Party branch of the Linli Special Training Class. In 36, he pretended to defect and infiltrated the Secret Service Department, and was ordered to enter the Linli Special Training Class.]

This information left Zhang Yi dumbfounded.

He originally thought that Liao Hua was a die-hard traitor and a sharp knife for Dai to fight against the Reds.
An undercover agent who has penetrated the enemy's interior, in addition to having a firm belief and sense of mission, needs to constantly adapt and disguise himself. In a state of high tension and vigilance, facing threats and temptations, it is easy for him to fall into self-doubt and struggle, loneliness and alienation.
Zhang Yi remembered someone saying that the best way to lurk for a long time is to offend as many people as possible around you, so that you are disliked by thousands of people and are least noticeable. A person without friends is least likely to reveal flaws.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yi smiled slightly. Thinking in this way, all of Liao Hua's actions made sense.

[2. You heard Liao Hua talk about Jia Daxiong today and got relevant information - Jia Daxiong's original name was Akihisa Odani, a senior spy of the Japanese Special High Section, codenamed Black Fish.]

Hmm? Department store owner Jia Daxiong?
[3. You just met Jin Minjie and got the relevant information - Park Mingjie, a Korean, was adopted by Odani Akihisa at the age of 12, his Japanese name is Odani Saburo, he entered the Nakano Special Agent School at the age of 18, infiltrated the Korean guerrillas at the age of 21, went to Shanghai at the age of 28, and was ordered to infiltrate the Special Agent Training Class, codenamed Black Blade.]

Thinking back on the information in his mind, Zhang Yi smiled. Although he was a special commissioner, he executed two instructors as soon as he arrived at the Linli training class to make an example of them. Due to his status and Boss Dai's order, others would not say anything to his face, but at this moment, he didn't know how many people were waiting for him to make a fool of himself.

Who is Zhang Yi? How can he retreat or be perfunctory? Besides, he had instructed all the students yesterday to move forward sharply and go through fire and water. How could he hesitate and retreat at this moment?
And at this moment, Zhang Yi's mentality is completely different from before.

Giving Yu Lexing a reassuring look, Zhang Yi straightened his military uniform, strode onto the platform, looked around and said:

"Although I am a superior, I also graduated from a training class in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. I don't have any demeanor, but I know a little bit of martial arts. I am performing alone, and my fancy moves are just for show. How about this, I will find someone to practice with, and use actual combat as a demonstration. Please give me your advice if there are any shortcomings."

As he spoke, he pointed at Jin Minjie and said:

"Instructor Jin, since you are the instructor representative, you must be an outstanding person among them. Are you willing to fight with me?"

Jin Minjie was a little surprised, but he gladly accepted the invitation, saluted, and said, "Special Envoy, may I ask your advice?"

"From now on, there will be no special envoys or instructors, only opponents." Zhang Yi interrupted him and walked to the center of the stage.

"It's better to stop at the right time." Jin Minjie said, but seeing Zhang Yi's serious face, he couldn't help but be awed and became alert with full concentration.

The two stood facing each other, and the atmosphere became solemn.

Seeing Zhang Yi standing there motionless, Jin Minjie hesitated for a moment and took the lead.

He clenched his fists, flashed his body, and ran towards Zhang Yi suddenly, blocking with his left fist and aiming at Zhang Yi's chest with his right fist.

Zhang Yi smiled contemptuously, but he was not in a hurry. He dodged to the side and cleverly avoided the fierce attack.

Then, he bent his left leg slightly, pushed hard with his right foot, jumped high, spun in the air, and used his right leg like a whip to chop towards Jin Minjie's head.

Jin Minjie's face changed and he quickly crossed his arms above his head to block the kick.

However, just as the kick made contact, Jin Minjie's face changed again. The force of the kick was beyond his expectation. He gritted his teeth and took a few steps back before he could catch it.

But Zhang Yi was "unyielding". As soon as he landed, he immediately rushed towards Jin Minjie.

Seeing the fist coming towards him, Jin Minjie quickly stretched out his hand to block it, but Zhang Yi suddenly changed his attack.

He suddenly grabbed Jin Minjie's wrist with his left hand, and his right hand slid down quickly and hit Jin Minjie's stomach.

Caught off guard, Jin Minjie was hit by Zhang Yi. He screamed in pain, quickly broke free from the restraints and took a few steps back.

"Special Envoy, I will not hold back this time." Jin Minjie's eyes were sharp and he pounced on him while speaking.

Zhang Yi naturally would not give him a chance and attacked with his fist again. Jin Minjie raised his hand to block. He thought Zhang Yi would attack his chassis again, but he didn't expect Zhang Yi's fist to hit him directly in the chest.

Jin Minjie groaned and staggered back.

Zhang Yi didn't give him any chance to breathe, and immediately attacked with his left fist at lightning speed, hitting Jin Minjie's abdomen again.

Jin Minjie bent down in pain, and before he could stand up straight, Zhang Yi's third punch had already arrived.

The punch hit Jin Minjie's chin hard. The huge impact force made Jin Minjie fly backwards. He fell heavily to the ground and was no longer able to get up.

During the whole process, Zhang Yi's moves were as fast as lightning, leaving all the students stunned.

Seeing Zhang Yi rubbing his hands and continuing to walk towards Jin Minjie, an instructor quickly stood up to dissuade him:

"Special Commissioner, please show mercy."

"Jin Minjie, you still don't admit defeat?"

Jin Minjie lay on the ground in a mess, his whole body aching, and he was filled with resentment. He admitted that he had underestimated Zhang Yi, but in a life-and-death battle, it was still unknown who would win. Humph, should he be afraid of exposing his identity? He used his most proficient sumo and judo skills, and could have subdued Zhang Yi in a blink of an eye, but unfortunately
Jin Minjie clenched his fists fiercely, his face gloomy. When he heard his colleague's scolding, he quickly came to his senses, staggered to his feet, and forced out a flattering smile:

"The special commissioner is indeed an expert from the headquarters. I am impressed."

"You are also a master!" Zhang Yi slowly approached and patted his shoulder.

Jin Minjie didn't understand why, and said awkwardly, "How dare I in front of the special envoy?"

"No, you deserve it!" Zhang Yi looked at him meaningfully: "I'm talking about acting."

Jin Minjie frowned and said nothing.

The instructor next to him didn't understand what Zhang Yi meant. He looked at Jin Minjie in surprise, then laughed and punched him:
"Old Jin, I didn't realize that you and the special commissioner were acting. I was just saying, um, the special commissioner."

As soon as the man said this, he saw Zhang Yi grabbed Jin Minjie's throat with lightning speed, just as the other party had demonstrated before.

This was not over yet. As Zhang Yi took action, Monkey and a few others in the audience suddenly rushed up and knocked Jin Minjie to the ground.

Then some people subdued him, some put him in handcuffs, and some searched him. They had clear division of labor and the actions were smooth and fluid.

"Special Commissioner, what are you doing?"

"Let me go, what do you want to do?"

"Park Mingjie, you should be familiar with the name Kotani Saburo, right?"

Seeing Zhang Yi say his Japanese name, Jin Minjie looked at him in astonishment.

The instructors nearby and the special training class cadres, spies, and students who approached without knowing why, all stood there in a daze, dumbfounded.

Instructor Jin Minjie is actually Japanese?

A spy who infiltrated the special training class?

After a moment of silence, Jin Minjie immediately regained his composure and smiled slightly:
"I've lived in Northeast China. It's normal to have a Japanese name if you want to lurk in Japanese territory."

"Well, it seems to make sense, but this is not reflected in your resume. Since you concealed one thing, you can conceal more things." Zhang Yi said calmly:

"I'm sorry, but you're under arrest now."

"Take him away and search his dormitory immediately."

Zhang Yi turned to look at the cadres and restless students who were looking at each other in bewilderment, and said:
"To be honest, I'm not good at fighting. I used to be in charge of espionage, so I do have some experience in catching spies."

Is this what you call having some experience?

No one believed it. Everyone looked at Zhang Yi and then at Jin Minjie who was being taken away. They were so shocked that they couldn't calm down for a long time.
