My spy diary

Chapter 413 Intelligence (please vote)

Outside the Wanglongmen Detention Center, several bright car lights pierced the darkness of the night.

Several cars stopped one after another, and the leading car honked twice shortly towards the gate.

Then, one of the two tightly closed doors opened, and a guard in a captain's uniform walked over.

After verifying the documents, both gates opened and the car slowly drove in.

After settling the prisoners, Zhang Yi went straight back to the field dormitory in Shulu, the headquarters of the bureau.

The room is not big and the furnishings are a bit simple, with only a bed, a wardrobe, a desk and a telephone, but it is clean and tidy.

He washed up quickly and then lay down with his clothes on.

[Today’s information has been refreshed]

[1. You have read the Xinhua Daily today and obtained relevant information - Zheng Huhe has returned to Shancheng and has been ordered to contact "Deep Sea"]

Zheng Huhe?
Zhang Yi was thinking that he did not show up on time after the last contact order was issued. According to the agent principles, after the first contact failed, the organization would issue a second call. If it still failed, he would need to take the initiative to issue a contact request.

However, the newspapers and letters were monitored by people from the Special Inspection Office of the Military Commission, so it was not easy to successfully contact them.

[2. You met Chi Buzhou today and obtained relevant intelligence - the number of secret telegrams between the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Japanese Consulate General in Honolulu has increased dramatically.]

Honolulu is the capital of the U.S. state of Hawaii, and the famous Pearl Harbor is right next to Honolulu.

This port is a natural harbor that is easy to defend, and the US Pacific Air Force and Fleet Command are stationed here.

Zhang Yi knew that this was definitely a sign that Xiao Ri was going to make a desperate attempt to bomb Pearl Harbor.

Once the number, location, entry and exit times of the US warships anchored in Pearl Harbor, the time and pattern of officers and soldiers going ashore and going to sea, weather conditions, and the start and end times of the US military's vacations are investigated clearly, the war will be imminent.

[3. You met Dai Chunfeng today and obtained relevant information - Tongji Company secretly bought 70 bales of cotton yarn from Shanghai, which have been shipped to Shancheng in batches for sale. The Military Control Commission received 5 taels of profit, which was stored by Deng Baoguang at Liu Gongyun's place.]

What is 5 taels? Of course it is gold.

Tongji Company was proposed by Deng Baoguang, deputy director of the Party and Government Intelligence Department of the Second Division of the Military Intelligence Bureau and head of the Economic Section. Boss Dai reported to Chang for approval. The company was established with the Guodang Bank providing official shares, Du Yuesheng providing commercial shares, and the Wartime Freight Administration providing dry shares. Du Yuesheng was appointed chairman of the board.

Boss Dai also served as the director of the wartime Freight Administration. To put it bluntly, this company was a joint venture between Du and Dai.

After the company was established, it set up branches in Shancheng, Shanghai, Chun'an, Zhejiang, Shangqiu, Henan and other places. Gang members under Du Yuesheng were in charge of the work on the surface, while Military Intelligence Bureau agents were responsible for providing economic intelligence and armed escort in the background. Under the guise of economic warfare, they were actually engaging in material exchange and smuggling activities with the occupied areas.

These 5 taels of gold were naturally the huge profits earned from smuggling, and were the funds used by Boss Dai to support the huge financial expenses of the huge Military Control Commission.

Looking at this information, Zhang Yixin said that the cotton yarn he had obtained with great effort last time was nothing compared to Boss Dai's methods.

Suddenly, a daring idea came to his mind: could he get the 50,000 taels of gold?
Who is Liu Gongyun? A member of the Military Control Commission, he served as a commissioner of the Ministry of Finance and deputy secretary-general of the Four-Party Secretariat (a temporary agency responsible for the connection between various departments and the Military Commission during wartime).

He couldn't have kept so much gold at home; it must have been kept in a bank. Because of the relationship between Boss Dai and Minister Song, the Military Control Commission's financial accounts were often maintained through the Bank of China.

Then this huge sum of money must be temporarily deposited in the Bank of China.

What’s the difference between trying to take money out of a bank and robbery?
Not to mention other things, 5 taels of gold according to the measurement unit at that time (half a catty and eight taels) could be exchanged for 5 small yellow croakers.

One tael is about 31.25 grams, and 5 pieces of gold are about 3125 kilograms. It is difficult to transport such a heavy thing, let alone carry it.

The night was dark, but the light was still on in Dai Chunfeng's office.

After listening to Mao Qiwu's report, Dai Chunfeng snorted coldly: "The bastard surnamed Xu is so greedy that he is blinded by greed. How can a man like him want to seek an official position?"

In terms of ambition, both Dai Chunfeng and Xu Zengen have it, and Boss Dai is more ambitious.

But unlike Xu's idleness, Dai Chunfeng's philosophy of life is that "a needle cannot be sharp at both ends". The Military Control Commission is the foundation for his survival and development. Without the Military Control Commission, he would be like a tree without roots and water without a source, and the consequences would be disastrous.

Unlike Xu Zengen who has gradually relaxed his attitude towards espionage work since the Anti-Japanese War, Dai Chunfeng has always been committed to making achievements in espionage work that will attract Chang's attention in order to increase his own value in Chang's mind.

In Dai Chunfeng's opinion, whether or not Chang will value your spy work depends on whether you have any value to him. Xu Zengen was not effective in fighting against the Reds and was not valued by Chang, which was actually his own fault.

The Chairman was well aware that the growing power of the two unified spies was making them difficult to get rid of.

There is an ancient saying that "When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dogs are cooked; when the high birds are gone, the good bows are hidden; when the enemy country is defeated, the counselors will die." But if the cunning rabbit is not dead, the high birds are not gone, and the enemy country is not defeated, will the running dogs be cooked, the good bows be hidden, and the counselors die?

Moreover, since the Anti-Japanese War, the work of the Military Control Commission has become increasingly active and the results have become increasingly obvious. As long as we keep a low profile and consolidate our foundation, we will not be easily abandoned by the Chairman.

"It is said that Xu Zengen has his eyes on two positions, one is the Minister of Economy and the other is the Minister of Transportation."

Dai Chunfeng smiled contemptuously: "There is a struggle for power and intrigue within the Central Bureau of Investigation. We can just bide our time and escape, and direct the old man's anger towards Xu."

At this point, he seemed to remember something and asked:
"Zhang Yi said Chi Buzhou cracked the Japanese's secret message about attacking Hong Kong. Does our Telecommunications Department have any news?"

"not yet."

Dai Chunfeng frowned. Since there was a Red Party member in the Military Technology Office, he again suggested to the chairman that the Military Technology Office and the Military Control Commission's Special Technology Research Office be merged, but the old man remained noncommittal.

"Put a few more of our people in there to keep an eye on Chi Buzhou. Also..."

After a pause, he continued, "Transfer Jiang Yiying to serve as the director of Xiamen Radio Station to strengthen our radio detection in the southeast coast, Hong Kong, Manila, Myanmar and other places.

The Japanese army has occupied Hong Kong, and other British colonies will not be able to escape. If Britain and Japan go to war, what will Americans think? "

Dai Chunfeng couldn't help but feel a little gloating. The United States and Britain have always had an ambiguous attitude towards the Sino-Japanese War. Because of this, the Japanese have been purchasing large quantities of arms from the United States for use in the Chinese battlefield. Now that Britain is being liquidated by Japan, the Americans will surely wake up.

The Military Intelligence Bureau has already established an intelligence cooperation mechanism with Britain. If the United States can be dragged into the water, as long as the Military Intelligence Bureau conducts intelligence cooperation with the Americans, then the old man will have no choice but to be cautious and his position will be further improved.

"Yes."

Mao Qiwu bowed and agreed. Seeing that he did not leave immediately, Dai Chunfeng asked again, "Is there anything else?"

"Wang Tiehan is here."

"Him? It's so late, what's the matter?"

"He's so secretive. He won't tell me when I ask him."

"Oh, then let him in."

"Yes."

The next moment, Wang Tiehan, the pimp, walked in with a big smile on his face. As soon as he entered the door, he said, "Mr. Dai, great news."

"What happy event?"

"I got a top-secret piece of information. Miss Hu Die has arrived in Shancheng and is staying in Yang Lao Hu's mansion."

Hearing the name Hu Die, Dai Chunfeng, who had been nonchalant, stood up suddenly and asked in disbelief, "Movie star Hu Die is in Shancheng?"

Wang Tiehan said affirmatively: "Yes, the Japanese army invaded Hong Kong and she was forced to seek refuge in the mountain city. She just arrived today.

Someone from Yang Mansion came to my restaurant to order the signature dish "Bombing Tokyo", and mysteriously said that they were entertaining some distinguished guests. I asked a few more questions and then I got the news. "It turned out that after the fall of Shanghai, Hu Die and her husband Pan Yousheng went to Hong Kong together and continued to be active in the film industry.

On the eve of the fall of Hong Kong, Japanese spies came to her home and used threats and inducements to invite her to go to Tokyo, Japan to shoot a film "Hu Die Visits Tokyo" to promote the so-called "Sino-Japanese friendship" idea.

Hu Die realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately decided to flee to the mainland. After her good friends Yang Lao Hu and Du Yuesheng, whom she met in Shanghai, learned about it, they invited her to the mountain city.

After the surprise, Dai Chunfeng sat down slowly, crossed his hands and fell into deep thought.

Hu Die is the idol and goddess he has admired for a long time.

When he was still wandering in Shanghai, Hu Die had already become famous in the film industry.

Since "Burning of Red Lotus Temple", Dai Chunfeng has set his sights on the film's heroine Hong Gu. Her graceful and elegant figure and fresh and outstanding performance have fascinated him.

From then on, Dai Chunfeng became fascinated by Hu Die's movies and would watch almost every one of them. When China's first sound film "The Singing Girl Red Peony" was released in 31, he could not forget Hu Die's beauty and charm.

If it weren't for the huge difference in their status and the fact that they had no chance to get close to each other, he would have attacked Hu Die long ago.

It was really hard to imagine that the once unattainable movie queen would one day fall into his control and become his prey.

If I don't take action now, I'm afraid I won't have this opportunity again.

Seeing Dai Chunfeng deep in thought, Wang Tiehan immediately came over and said, "As long as Mr. Dai agrees, I will have someone tie her up and bring her here right now."

"How can you be so rude to a beautiful woman, you idiot?"

Dai Chunfeng rebuked him, saying that although he had the power of life and death, he could only use his wits to defeat a celebrity like Hu Die, not take her by force, otherwise he would end up making things worse and arouse public outrage.

"Then I'll persuade Yang Lao Hu to hold a welcome banquet, and then introduce you to Miss Butterfly?"

Dai Chunfeng clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I'll leave this to you."

"Yes." Wang Tiehan smiled flatteringly and left happily.

"Ring ring ring"

Just as Zhang Yi fell asleep, the shrill phone ring rang.

He walked to the phone and picked up the receiver. Monkey's heavy voice came from the inside: "Director, Secretary Guo committed suicide."

In the darkness, Zhang Yi's face became solemn. He had underestimated Xu Zengen. This big drama directed by the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics ended after the protagonist was changed just after one round of the show, and before the gong even sounded?

He immediately drove to Wanglongmen Detention Center.

In the prison, there was a chilly atmosphere that made people feel an indescribable chill. Under the dim light, a corpse was curled up in the corner of the cell.

The body was none other than Secretary Guo.

There was a bloody hole on his head, his face was covered in blood, his eyes were wide open, and there were traces of self-mutilation on the wall.

"He probably hit his head and bled to death."

Looking at the corpse, Zhang Yi was in deep thought. He thought of the longevity lock that Xu Zengen took out and the threatening words he said.

"Has anyone visited him?"

"No. I asked the guards, and they said he had been very quiet since he had eaten. But when the guards let down their guard, he suddenly went crazy and started banging his head against the wall like crazy."

No one has visited, but messages can be passed through meals, and a small note is enough.

"Immediately arrest the person who delivered and cooked the food."

"Yes."

After giving the order, Zhang Yi went to the cell where other Central Bureau of Investigation agents were held. This group of people were lying in a mess, snoring loudly.

The prison guard hit the iron bars hard with a stick. Amid the sharp and piercing sound, a group of people woke up cursing. The moment they saw Zhang Yi, their nerves instantly tensed up.

"You can go."

"Huh?" Everyone in the cell was stunned. They were first shocked, and then overjoyed.

Just as the cell door opened and everyone was excitedly preparing to leave, Zhang Yi said, "But."

But what? Everyone paused and looked at the scene anxiously.

"But you have to stay."

As soon as Zhang Yi finished speaking, under the stunned gaze of the Central Bureau of Investigation agents, he suddenly pointed at the head of the Central Bureau of Investigation's operations department, pulled out his loaded pistol, and fired several shots at the man, smashing his head into a pulp.

"Deputy Director Zhang, what are you doing? He is our..." The agents trembled with fear and their scalps tingled.

"Take his body back, and tell Xu Zengen that if he dares to play dirty tricks again, this is what will happen to this bastard."

The spies gasped, shuddering. They looked at each other, and in panic they carried the body away.

"Okay, let's go back to sleep." Zhang Yi said this and turned away.

Silent all night.

The next day, Zhang Yi came to the office and flipped through the newspaper as usual.

Suddenly, a bland missing person notice in Ta Kung Pao caught his eye again.

Another call for a meeting.

"At 21:18 on the sixth night of the Lunar New Year, my elderly family member went missing near Yuzhong Road and has not returned yet. Someone saw him at the entrance of Huihai Teahouse. If any kind-hearted person has any clues, please contact me. I will reward you handsomely."

The message conveyed in the missing person notice was very simple: meet at Huihai Teahouse at 9:18.

Then, he saw a fable in the second article on page six of the newspaper, and the two sentences of dialogue between lines eleven and eighteen were the code for the connection.

He casually put down the newspaper, wondering what appropriate and reasonable reason he could find to appear at Huihai Teahouse tonight.

As I was thinking, the phone on the table rang.

"Hello? Director Mao? What can I do for you? Boss Dai wants you. Okay, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yi walked into Dai Chunfeng's office calmly.

……

I owe a few more chapters... I'm crying...
