My spy diary

Chapter 403 Action (please vote)

An hour later, Dai Chunfeng closed the confession record of Watanabe Hayato and said solemnly:
"It's really strange that there are so many rats hiding right under our noses. Catch them, catch them immediately."

"Yes."

Zhang Yi stood up and saluted. Just as he was about to leave, Dai Chunfeng seemed to remember something and asked with a dark face:

"Su Qiming from the Supervision Office and Pu Gang from the Detective Team are both frequent visitors to Qingxiang Pavilion. Is this true?"

Zhang Yi glanced at Mao Qiwu and said, "This is what Su Qiming confessed. I don't know about Pu Gang's statement."

"Is it okay to say that there's a traitor in the family?" Dai Chunfeng snorted coldly.

Without waiting for Mao Qiwu to answer, he continued: "The best way to test whether a person is lying is to ask a question you already know the answer to.

Whether they did it intentionally or unintentionally, leaking secrets is a capital offense.

These two idiots were tricked by others and fell into the gentle trap without knowing it.

Women, especially beautiful women, can make a good spy lose the most basic defense ability and sense of smell. "

Boss Dai was deeply touched by these words. After all, he was also tricked by a young woman.

"Commander, I'm going to arrest him now."

"If Su Qiming leaks the information, he will be executed immediately. As for Pu Gang, I will personally interrogate him."

"Yes."

When Zhang Yi returned to the Intelligence Department meeting room, everyone was already there. They were all in high spirits and sitting up straight.

He glanced at the people present with a sharp gaze and took out a portrait of a woman from the file bag:

"Open your eyes and see clearly. This woman named Qin Ji is the spy leader. Keep a close eye on her."

The portrait was passed around among the crowd. The girl in the portrait looked charming and attractive, and there was no sign at all that she was a cruel spy chief.

After the portraits were circulated, Zhang Yi raised his wrist and ordered:
"Check the clock. Set out in five minutes to arrest the man."

"Team Leader Hou is in charge of Qingxiang Pavilion, and Team Leader Qian is in charge of arresting Hayato Watanabe's subordinates on the transportation line."

"Yes."

Soon, plainclothes officers poured out of the meeting room and took their positions as instructed, and the arrest was about to begin.

A cold night.

Under the cold moonlight, the turtle slave stood in front of the window between the fireworks, hooked a corner of the curtain with his fingers, and looked out through the gap.

Following his gaze, I saw a couple in baggy clothes just closing their stall across the street downstairs. They packed up their "chao shou" stall onto a small cart and pushed it away, while a little girl with pigtails was skipping along beside them.

"They're gone." Gui Nu looked at their backs and said to Qin Ji indifferently.

"It's late enough." There were no lights on in the fireworks room, and Qinji sneered in the darkness.

The turtle slave turned around and looked at her: "The vendors are resistant to cold weather. They are out making money before the New Year is over. It is understandable that they are closing their stalls at this time. Are we worrying too much?"

"There are a lot more rickshaw drivers outside today, and there's a wonton stand across the street. Is that a coincidence?"

Qin Ji met his gaze expressionlessly, "Many things, when viewed individually, are reasonable, but when taken together, there are so many unexpected coincidences that one has to be vigilant."

Gui Nu thought for a while and said with a grim expression: "All this seems to have happened after Watanabe Hayao appeared. Could it be him?"

"Call him now."

"I'll go to the public phone booth outside and call."

"Fight right here."

"Yes." The turtle slave walked over and dialed a number, and the call was quickly connected:

"Is this Mr. Huo? I'm Manager Wu from Qingxiang Pavilion. We found a piece of jade here. Is it yours?"

"Oh, no, okay, that's fine." He hung up the phone and said to Qin Ji, "His tone is normal, I can't tell anything."

Kotohime was silent for a while, then asked again: "Are Yamamoto and Kuroba not back yet?"

"Xiao Ma" took "Zhang Chao" to the clinic to treat his wounds. It had been a long time.

Manager Wu's face changed, and he finally realized something was wrong. Just as he was about to say something, Qin Ji interrupted him:

"Let me think."

She hesitated for a long time before she spoke, as if she was asking Manager Wu, or as if she was talking to herself:

"Is it possible that Qingxiang Pavilion has been exposed, and the Military Control Commission has been keeping a close eye on us. They have been waiting for some purpose, waiting to close the net."

Without waiting for Manager Wu to say anything, she immediately stood up and said, "No matter what the purpose is, we will withdraw immediately."

"Retreat?" Manager Wu was surprised. "It's curfew now, we can't leave. Besides, we have established a stronghold with great difficulty..."

"Those are external possessions. Life is the most important." The woman said as she started packing her things.

"Maybe the situation isn't that bad. How about I give Captain Pu a call to test the waters?"

Just as Manager Wu finished speaking, a prostitute's sharp scream suddenly came from outside, followed by gunshots, and he hurried out.

problem occurs.

The woman was no longer concerned with so many things. She found a piece of clothing to change into, tied up her hair, put on a top hat, stuffed a file bag behind her waist, opened the window, glanced a few times, went out quietly, and closed the window again.

The next moment, there was a loud "bang", the door of the fireworks room broke open, and Monkey rushed in with several plainclothes officers.

Turning on the light, he quickly glanced around and seemed to have noticed something. He quietly moved behind the window with the gun in hand and pushed the window open, but there was nothing outside.

There were plainclothes officers guarding the alley below. Monkey asked loudly, and the answer was that there was nothing unusual.

He was still worried, so he leaned over the window and looked down. Directly below him was a small balcony with a few pots of withered flowers and nothing else.

At this moment, the cunning Qinji was clinging to the outer wall under the balcony like a gecko, holding her shoes in one hand and supporting the bottom of the balcony above her head with the other hand, standing barefoot on a small protruding clothesline, holding her breath and concentrating.

The monkey lay there and watched for a long time, and indeed there was nothing unusual.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly sniffed his nose and found that the scent of rouge still lingered in the air. He sneered and shouted to the people below:
"Turn on the flashlight and check again."

Qin Ji was frightened by these words. She no longer cared to hide her feelings and suddenly stepped on the clothesline and rushed to the window sill next door. The moment the glass shattered, the bullet brushed past her figure.

She rolled up from the ground, endured the pain in her lower back, ran to another window, pushed it open, and jumped into a quiet alley.

At this time, Xiao Tang from the Intelligence Department was lying in ambush at the entrance of the alley. Suddenly, he saw a man's back appear in the alley and began to observe him vigilantly.

Qin Ji gritted her teeth and endured the pain. She quickly put on her shoes against the wall, loaded the bullet, and stood on guard vigilantly.

Suddenly, she felt as if there was a pair of eyes staring at her at the alley entrance. The agent's sensitivity made her not rush out, but hide against the wall.

Xiao Tang waited for a while, and seeing no movement in the alley, he cautiously stuck his head out with the gun in hand.

Last time, he suffered a lot for playing the role of a "Red Party traitor" and became a complete joke of the Intelligence Department. This time, he must catch the spy leader to wash away the humiliation on himself.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the shadows. Xiao Tang sensed something and immediately shouted with his gun in hand:

"Come out, or I'll shoot you?"

But the alley was quiet and there was nothing there, so he immediately turned on the flashlight and shone it over there, but there was no spy in the alley. But he was not willing to give up, so he immediately rushed over, keeping alert while using the flashlight to focus on the place where the noise had just been made.

I found bloodstains on the ground and traces of dust on the wall, and I couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

It was obvious that the man had just escaped over the wall.

For some purpose, Xiao Tang did not make a sound. He put away his pistol, put the flashlight in his mouth, took a few steps back, and climbed up the wall in one step.

He had just jumped down and was about to turn on the flashlight to search when suddenly a figure flashed in the darkness and a cold knife slashed across his neck. Xiao Tang fell down in disbelief.

After dealing with the stalker, Qin Ji pulled out his belt and tied it around the injured area, making herself feel better. Then she took Xiao Tang's gun and ID, quickened her pace and walked outside, almost running.

Just as he turned the corner of the alley, he was suddenly hit on the head by a clothesline, and was stunned for a moment.

The monkey who had been chasing all the way was sweating profusely, holding the clothesline and panting.

When the female spy saw the weapon in his hand clearly, she was dumbfounded. She sneered and immediately raised her hand to shoot, but the monkey hit her hand with a "bang" and the gun was knocked away.

The female spy was enraged and suddenly rushed forward with a dagger drawn.

The monkey laughed mockingly and hit him with the stick again, and the dagger fell again.

The female spy was furious and took out another pistol to shoot. At this moment, a coat fell from the sky behind her and covered her head, followed by a beating.

The shot she fired while struggling also missed.

The female spy collapsed like a puddle of mud, her face covered in blood.

"I told you to run away, but you dressed up as a man. What's the matter? With your tail hidden, others can't see your true form as a fox?

Search him and take him away."

The plainclothes officer searched the female spy and found a file bag, and handed it to Monkey. Monkey opened it and took a few glances at it, and couldn't help but gasp. There were not only documents but also photos in it.

Especially the photos, one of which is of the president of the Examination Yuan, Dai, who is tied to the bed, with a look of intoxication and enjoyment on his face, which is really eye-catching.
The other photos show high-ranking officials of the Party and the country, hugging each other left and right, revealing their ugly appearance.

The monkey was astonished and thought to himself, do all big shots play so extravagantly?
He was just thinking about reporting to the director when suddenly a plainclothes officer ran over and said:
"Team Leader Hou, we found a cellar."

"Let's go and take a look." He carefully put away the file bag and immediately rushed over under the guidance of the plainclothes officers.

The cellar was built under the female spy's wardrobe. It was dimly lit and had a strange shape, being long and narrow.

The monkey saw old dripping substances on the blue floor tiles, forming irregular black and red stripes. It was very depressing and evil. There were also scorch marks on the wall, and the atmosphere was very weird.

"Why did the Japanese create such a spooky place?"

"The madam told me that this place used to be where death row prisoners were kept."

"Oh." As the two were talking, they soon came to an iron gate.

Two plainclothes officers were already unlocking the door.

As the door opened, a pungent smell of mold and filth hit me in the face.

In the dim light of the flashlight, I saw a dozen little girls huddled together in the corner of the small space, their hands and feet tightly tied with thick ropes, rags stuffed in their mouths, their eyes full of fear, despair and helplessness, and their bodies shaking uncontrollably.

Several people were stunned, and when they came to their senses, they started cursing.

These girls must have been captured by Japanese spies and trained as prostitutes. They were tortured at a very young age. The Japanese invaders were extremely vicious and worse than beasts.

"Hurry up and save them!" Monkey's eyes instantly turned red. He stepped forward and said softly, "Don't be afraid, kids. We are military police and we are here to save you."

"Quick, untie the rope."

Several plainclothes officers stepped forward and carefully untied the ropes on the little girls' hands, then carried them out.

Zhang Yi was anxiously waiting for news from Monkey and Qian Xiaosan in the office. Suddenly Monkey knocked on the door and said solemnly:
"Vice-General, please take a look at this."

Zhang Yi took it in surprise, and after seeing the contents of the file bag, his face became solemn.

After coming out of the office, he went straight to Boss Dai's office without wasting a minute.

In the office, Dai Chunfeng, with a gloomy face, was sitting with Mao Qiwu, discussing how to deal with Pu Gang, a major spy from the third class of Whampoa Military Academy, when Zhang Yi knocked on the door.

"Has anyone been caught?"

“All of them were arrested.”

"Did we have any casualties?"

"Two people were slightly injured and one died." Zhang Yi said in a heavy tone, then handed over the file bag in his hand with an expressionless face.

"what?"

"You can see for yourself, Mr. Bureau Chief."

Dai Chunfeng took it suspiciously, flipped through it, and laughed a few times. Then his face turned serious and he asked, "Who else has seen this?"

Zhang Yi said: "It was Xiao Tang who found it, but unfortunately he died."

"Oh." Dai Chunfeng looked at him meaningfully, put the file bag into the drawer, and asked, "What else was found at the scene?"

"Guns, ammunition, opium." Zhang Yi quickly reported the search results and said:

"A cellar was discovered, and fourteen tortured girls were rescued from it."

"Girl?" Dai Chunfeng was a little surprised.

Mao Qiwu didn't care about the girl. He immediately realized that this was a great opportunity to publicize and change the image of the Military Control Commission in the public. No public relations measures could be more convincing than rescuing the ordinary people from the devil's lair.

"Director, what I mean is to arrange a press conference and hold a public meeting to find relatives. This will be more convincing than a hundred or a thousand news reports."

Hear the string song and know its elegant meaning.

Boss Dai smiled brightly when he heard this.

The Military Intelligence Bureau did so much for the country and the nation's war of resistance, but because some of its spies committed evil deeds, they were called bandits, robbers, murderers and arsonists. This was really too shameful and not worth it.

But he has not been able to come up with an effective solution because solving the problem requires money.

It is a pleasant surprise that the problem can be solved without spending a penny.

He immediately waved his hand and directed Mao Qiwu:
"Do it right away. Invite more reporters from newspapers and magazines to come and vigorously publicize it. Let the public know and believe that our Military Control Commission, in addition to fighting the enemy, is also fully capable of maintaining social order and protecting the safety of the boss.

We do spy work not for fame or profit, but to uphold justice and protect the people."

After saying this, he whispered to Mao Qiwu: "Did you write it down?"

Mao Qiwu said: "I've made a note of it. I'll notify the newspaper right away."

Boss Dai was very satisfied: "I am not suitable for being in the spotlight, so I'll have to trouble Director Mao with this matter."

"Yes."

Zhang Yi listened silently, speechless.
