My spy diary

Chapter 291 Interrogation (please vote)

The plane arrived at Shancheng Airport smoothly despite Zhang Yi's anxiety, and nothing happened.

Director of the Operations Department He Zhiyuan was waiting at the airport with a group of big and small leaders. After a few brief greetings, he immediately drove to the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau in Shancheng.

On the eve of the fall of Wuhan, the Military Intelligence Bureau stationed in Wuchang was ordered to move westward. Using the original spy organization in the mountain city, it took the lead and quickly seized the police training institute in Luojiawan under Guanyinyan in the mountain city.

This is an office space consisting of a three-story building, a two-story old building and a dozen bungalows of various sizes.

But Boss Dai felt that it was not grand enough, so he took over the vagrant training center under the jurisdiction of the neighboring Shancheng Police Station (it was founded by Yuan Datou in 1903. It was originally for the purpose of adopting unemployed vagrants and providing work in exchange for relief. Later, its functions were divided into two types: one was a detention prison that specifically housed criminals, and the other was a punishment prison that housed vagrants).

But it’s still not grand enough and the territory is not big enough. What to do? Keep buying and keep occupying.

Then they forcibly bought the three-story garden house "Shulu" in Zaozilanya opposite to them and used it as the reception room of the Military Intelligence Bureau. The second floor was used as a place for Boss Dai to meet guests, and the third floor was a bedroom for the big spy to rest temporarily.

Then he forced them to buy the Garden Mansion at No. 19 Luojiawan.

In this way, Luojiawan completely became the office and dormitory area of ​​the Military Control Commission, covering an area of ​​about 200 acres.

Is this over?

Of course not, keep buying.

Zeng's family, Villa No. 50 Yan (Dai Mansion), Ciqikou Silk Reeling Factory, the dilapidated temple on the mountain opposite Ciqikou (which became a Military Control Commission Primary School), Bai Mansion (the private villa of warlord Baiju), Yangjiashan, Zhongjiashan, Yu's yard, etc.

The territory seemed large, but Dai Chunfeng always felt it was not enough. This was because the Military Control Commission expanded too quickly, almost to the point of expansion.

从32年4月1日特务处成立时期的10个人，到37年“七七事变”发生时可统计的3600人，如今已达到几万人，光是在总部办公的就有四千多人。

(A rough estimate is that during its heyday, the Military Intelligence Bureau had more than 20 people in both the interior and exterior fields. The Military Intelligence Bureau controlled about 80 special forces, and the puppet army controlled by the Military Intelligence Bureau was about , a total of more than one million people. Of course, this is a later story.)
Dai Chunfeng took a short rest in "Shulu" and immediately rushed to the inspection department detention center not far away.

The director of the detention center is Mao Lie, a native of Dai Chunfeng's hometown. He is also the brother-in-law of He Shangyou, the director of the Second Department. He is young and frivolous, and has always been domineering, abusing his power and extorting money.

At the moment, he was sitting cross-legged and playing cards with a few subordinates. When he saw the office door was pushed open, he asked impatiently:

"Who?"

He Shangyou coughed heavily several times. Mao Lie looked up and saw Dai Chunfeng with a dark face and a handkerchief covering his nose. His face was gloomy and he was a little confused for a moment.

He Shangyou snorted coldly and waved his hand to drive away the smoke:

"It's so chaotic, didn't you see Mr. Dai coming?"

Mao Lie finally reacted, grabbed the newspaper to cover the card, and saluted tremblingly:

"Mr. Dai"

Dai Chunfeng glanced at him coldly: "I'll deal with you later, where's Zhang Weilin?"

"Zhang Weilin? He's in cell number 2."

Mao Lie was dumbfounded. Zhang Weilin was of course there, but wasn't he imprisoned for damaging the radio's vacuum tube?

This crime could be a big one or a small one. There was no shortage of radio stations in the telecommunications department. As long as there was no intentional damage or theft, he would be detained for ten days or half a month at most and then released. How could a person like him alarm Boss Dai?
"What are you doing? Lead the way!" Seeing his usually smart brother-in-law acting stupidly, He Shangyou scolded him.

"Yes, yes, yes." Mao Lie hurriedly picked up a bunch of keys and trotted to the front to lead the way.

The light in the prison was very dim, and there was a damp and moldy smell. Zhang Weilin was not tortured. He sat cross-legged in the corner, looking very quiet.

Seeing so many people rushing into the cell, he was not surprised at all. After taking a glance, he closed his eyes.

He Shangyou nodded to Dai Chunfeng and turned to Zhang Weilin:

"Captain Zhang, we are colleagues, don't make things difficult for everyone else, just hand over your organization."

"I didn't stop it."

He Shangyou sneered: "No organization? What about the list of seven people found in your residence?"

Zhang Weilin opened his eyes and said with a hint of sarcasm:
"Since you have the list, just arrest the people. Why ask me?"

"You know what I mean. If you don't tell me the contact point of the underground organization in Shancheng, don't even think about leaving. It's up to you to decide whether to cooperate or to resist stubbornly."

"I don't know what you're talking about." Zhang Weilin looked at him fearlessly.

"I hope your bones stay this strong."

He Shangyou sneered as he took a telegram from Zhao Youxin at the Telecommunications Office and threw it in front of Zhang Weilin:
"With your talent and knowledge, you should be able to understand what these codes mean without the code book, right?

This is the message you sent ‘personally’. How old is she? 18 or 19? She is still in her prime. What do you think will happen to her after she is arrested?

Zhang Weilin took the telegram, glanced at it for a few seconds, and his face turned grim.

"My brother is critically ill, please come back soon."

He naturally understood what this meant. Once Zhang Luping returned to the mountain city, she would immediately fall into the hands of the spies.

After Zhang Weilin joined the Red Party, he met the radio operator Feng Chuanqing, a native of Yangzhou, at work. Because they both had a patriotic heart to fight against the Japanese and save the country, they gradually became good friends who could talk about anything.

When the time was ripe, Zhang began to promote the Red Party's ideas to him, and finally persuaded Feng Chuanqing to join the Red Party.

Under the introduction of Feng Chuanqing, radio operators Yang from Liaoning and Wang from Nantong joined the Red Party one after another and formed a six-member group.

Later, the organization sent Zhang Luping to serve as the branch secretary, leading several people and responsible for direct contact with the local underground party.

Zhang Luping's original name was Yu Huilin. She was a native of Xichuan. She went to Pagoda Mountain in 37 and received training at Luyi. She joined the Red Party in 38. She was beautiful and extremely smart. Although she was only 18 years old, she was enthusiastic about work and had leadership skills.

She used the alias Zhang Luping, and she and Zhang Weilin worked under the cover of being "brother and sister."

Under her leadership, over a period of half a year, the seven-member team repeatedly obtained the codes, wavelengths, call signs, charts, and secret radio stations of the Military Intelligence Bureau's Telecommunications Department, as well as those located across the country. They also used the signals from the Military Intelligence Bureau's Telecommunications Headquarters to continuously send secret messages to the Red Party's underground radio stations. All of these tasks went very smoothly.

Perhaps it was because the work had gone too smoothly in the past six months, and he had lost his initial vigilance.

Today was an extremely torturous day for him.

He regretted that he was too careless and didn't realize that today was a setup for a leak. He also regretted that he was too careless and didn't notice the follower behind him. He regretted even more that he didn't destroy the list file.

But it was no use saying this now. Seeing the list exposed, other comrades would be arrested because of him, but he was powerless to do anything, which made him exhausted.

"Come on, do you want to meet her first? I'm afraid it will be a bad scene then."

Zhang Weilin still said nothing, just stared at him, his eyes full of worry and anger.

"Go ahead." He Shangyou continued to persuade him, but Dai Chunfeng, who was sitting next to him with a sullen face, had already lost his patience. He snorted coldly:
"Stop talking nonsense and send him directly to the interrogation room."

Zhang Weilin was brought into the interrogation room. Dai Chunfeng looked around and asked:
"What do you think?"

Everyone was thinking seriously, Zhang Yi was the first to speak:
"Something seems wrong."

"No?" Everyone looked at him, and Dai Chunfeng also looked over.

"I have just been observing the changes in his expression, this man is too calm.

When Director He talked about the underground organization, his eyes were calm, which shows that he has something to rely on or he has enough confidence and certainty to make sure that the underground organization he is in contact with has withdrawn. If he has any weakness, I think it is this woman named Zhang Luping. "

"that's it?"

He Shangyou sneered and said, "Deputy Director Zhang, everyone here is an experienced agent. Who can't see these common details?"

"Yes, when we catch that woman, we'll put them together for trial and let them see what unbearable pain really is." "That's not what I'm talking about."

Zhang Yi shrugged, called over a guard and asked:

"After Zhang Weilin came in, who had contact with him?"

"This." The guard stammered and looked at their Director Mao for help.

"Ok?"

Mao Lie was whispering with his brother-in-law. He had already figured out that Zhang Weilin was a Red Party suspect. He looked at Dai Chunfeng with a flattering smile and said with trepidation:

"Mr. Dai, brother-in-law, I really didn't know it would be so serious. How could it be so serious?
Didn’t he only damage radio vacuum tubes? How did he become a Red Party member? I.”

For an agent, especially a sleeper agent, to remain undercover for a long time, quality and professional ability are indispensable.

In terms of qualities, firm beliefs, loyalty, strong psychological qualities, adaptability, cautious habits, courage and decision-making ability, etc.

In terms of professional ability, in addition to professional skills, intelligence collection and analysis, disguise and role-playing, fighting and self-protection skills, and social skills are also very important.

Zhang Weilin was just a technician, not a well-trained, excellent and mature agent, but after being arrested, after experiencing the initial panic, he gradually calmed down.

He found that Mao Lie, the jailer, was very polite to him, and realized that the other party did not know the real reason for his arrest.

He decided to take advantage of the fact that the case was still unclear and take a gamble.

So they took advantage of the man's greed for money and offered him 100 yuan to deliver a letter for "home".

Mao Lie has always been tyrannical, abusing his power and extorting money. When he saw money being delivered to his door, how could he let it go? He immediately arranged for his men to gain its trust.

They had no idea that the "home" Zhang Weilin was talking about - No. 14, Sideli, Zhongshan nd Road, Shancheng City - was the secret liaison station of the Red Party's underground organization.

The underground organization that received the message moved immediately, avoiding greater losses.

"What do you mean, you bastard."

He Shangyou raised his hand and slapped him, then kicked his brother-in-law on the leg, and shouted:

"I'm asking you a question. Who has had contact with him?"

With a plop, Mao Lie knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice:

“I really didn’t know it was so serious.
He tried to get close to me and asked me to help him send a letter back, saying that he was under quarantine and investigation and was afraid that his family would worry. He promised to give me 100 yuan, and I... I was so tempted that I agreed."

"What did you say?"

He Shangyou looked at his brother-in-law in disbelief, then stole a glance at Dai Chunfeng, whose face was as gloomy as water, and immediately started punching and kicking his brother-in-law. He knew that if his brother-in-law didn't suffer a little at this moment, he would probably bleed soon.

Dai Chunfeng had a hint of sarcasm on his face and asked calmly:
"What's the address for sending letters?"

A guard looked over pleadingly: "It's me."

"Director He, take him down, and the Operations Department will take action immediately."

"Yes, Chief." He Zhiyuan glanced at the guard with pity, saluted, and immediately went down to arrange the task.

"Stop it, it's embarrassing."

Dai Chunfeng waved his hand to let He Shangyou get out of the way, stepped hard on Mao Lie's face with his leather boots, and said through gritted teeth:

"You were bribed for 100 yuan? If you pass on information for the Red Party and let the Red Party's 'wanted criminal' escape, I will make you pay for it."

"Commander, please spare his life considering that this is only his first offense." He Zhiyuan no longer had the same spirit as when he asked Zhang Weilin before. He dejectedly pleaded for his brother-in-law.

But Dai Chunfeng just snorted coldly, touched his nose and said nothing.

The operations department's efforts were naturally in vain, as No. 14, Sideli, Zhongshan nd Road had long been deserted.

"Send Mao Lie to Wanglongmen Detention Center. No one is allowed to plead for him."

Dai Chunfeng's eyes widened with anger: "From now on, all political prisoners must not be imprisoned in open secret agencies, but must be sent to Wanglongmen for detention. Humph, go to the interrogation room."

In the interrogation room, Zhang Weilin, who was sitting on the chair, was already dying.

"Commander, we have used all the basic torture instruments, but your mouth is still very stubborn. Do you want to use electric shock?"

"Don't worry, wait until we catch that woman and interrogate her together." Dai Chunfeng sneered and looked at Zhang Weilin with pity:
"The Party and the State have been kind to you, right?"

Zhang Weilin opened his eyes, his expression solemn:
"You don't understand the faith I have."

Dai Chunfeng taunted: "What do you believe in? To subvert your colleagues? To sell out the interests of the party and the country?"

"Your understanding is too superficial."

Zhang Weilin said lightly and closed his eyes again.

"Chief, Zhang Luping has been arrested." At this time, a plainclothes agent knocked on the door and entered the interrogation room and said.

"Bring it in." Dai Chunfeng smiled playfully.

Zhang Yi was shocked and saw a pretty girl of about eighteen or nineteen with a student's hairstyle being escorted in.

She looked exhausted, with footprints all over her clothes and blood stains on her face, but her eyes were the only ones that remained clean, still full of brightness and stubbornness.

"Do you know him?" Dai Chunfeng sneered and pointed at Zhang Weilin.

Zhang Luping gritted her teeth and said nothing.

"Aren't they brother and sister? Why aren't you talking?"

Dai Chunfeng walked up to her, pulled out the revolver from his waist, pointed the gun at her, and turned to ask Zhang Weilin:
"Your comrade Zhang Luping was arrested because of you. What a pretty girl! Don't you feel guilty?"

Zhang Weilin, who had always been calm, showed a panicked look on his face for the first time. He struggled and roared hoarsely:

"Dai Chunfeng!"

Dai Chunfeng sneered, "Don't get excited. Young people just can't keep their cool. Weren't you very arrogant just now? Did a woman make you panic?"

Zhang Weilin kept struggling: "Let her go, come to me if you have any problem."

"As long as you help us lure out the leader of the underground party in Shancheng, I will release her. I mean what I say!"

Zhang Weilin was silent for a while, then shook his head and said:
"This is impossible!"

Dai Chunfeng turned his back and looked at Zhang Luping again, suppressing his anger:

"What about you?"

There was no fear on the young girl's face. She just sneered and said nothing.

"Very good, let's go to the punishment."

Dai Chunfeng's mouth twitched, and he said this, turned around and left.
