My spy diary

Chapter 498 Night Exploration (asking for monthly ticket)

In the evening, Zhang Yi fulfilled his promise and treated everyone in the department to dinner at his own expense.

The meal will be served at Shancheng Hotel, a Western buffet.

The gramophone in the banquet hall was playing lively music. After dinner, the spies gathered in twos and threes with wine glasses, playing cards or bragging. Zhang Yi, Deputy Director Ruan, and Yang Zaixing sat on the sofa in the private room and chatted.

Deputy Director Ruan first complimented Zhang Yi a few words, then sighed:
"I didn't expect that Sun Mingyuan would be dragged into this by Nanzō Yunko. This is incredible. Japanese spies are truly omnipresent."

Yang Zaixing sighed: "I never thought that such a scum would sneak into such an important place as the detention center."

He spoke helplessly, even with a hint of indignation, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Zhang Yi glanced at him and said, "The detention center is full of mixed people. Should we clean up the team next?"

When Deputy Director Ruan heard this, he immediately understood: "What the Director said makes sense. We should sort it out carefully, remove those who are disloyal, and promote some people who are serious about their work. Deputy Director Yang, what do you think?"

Yang Zaixing was suddenly frustrated and angry. He was silent for a while and said, "I'll make a plan when I get back."

"Do you need help? If you need help, I can assign two capable people to you."

"Thank you for your consideration, Director. I'll handle this matter myself. After all, it's an internal matter of the detention center."

"Well, if there is a need, Deputy Director Ruan can assist you." Yang Zaixing refused. Zhang Yi was not surprised at all, and did not press him. He changed the subject and pushed Deputy Director Ruan out again.

Yang Zaixing cursed in his heart, wondering when Ruan and Zhang Yi hooked up. He complained in his heart, but said modestly to Deputy Director Ruan: "Okay, if there is a need, I will definitely ask for it. Brother Ruan, don't think it's troublesome when the time comes."

Deputy Director Ruan made a few polite remarks in a bland manner.

Zhang Yi smiled, looked at Yang Zaixing, and asked meaningfully: "I left in a hurry today. From what I can see from Kong San's attitude, he is determined to get that piece of land. What did he tell you?"

Yang Zaixing was startled, pondering his smile, thinking that there is no impenetrable wall in this world. Once Kong San gets the land, others will definitely know that he, Yang Zaixing, has received benefits. Zhang Yi is asking about it now, probably because he also wants to get a piece of the pie, so he said frankly:
"I didn't say anything, but I promised him some benefits. Kong San is from the Kong family after all, so I thought about it and agreed."

After that, he added with a smile: "Don't worry, there will definitely be benefits for you two."

"Okay, this is exactly what I want to hear!" Zhang Yi's eyes lit up and he winked at Deputy Director Ruan, as if the two of them had planned it beforehand.

Deputy Director Ruan was completely confused and had no idea what Zhang Yi was up to. Just as he was about to ask about the land in detail, he saw the Chief of the Judicial Section, Lai Guomin, knocking on the door and coming in. Behind him were seven or eight girls, all with fair skin, full breasts and slender waists. They were all wearing floral leather robes with high slits on the sides. When they walked, their snow-white, slender thighs appeared and disappeared, which was extremely seductive, especially the two blondes with blue eyes.

"Director, Deputy Director Ruan, Deputy Director Yang, is it time to dance?"

It was said to be dancing, but seeing the ambiguous look on his face, Zhang Yi knew that things were not that simple.

Sure enough, Lai Guomin stepped forward and leaned close to Zhang Yi's ear: "Boss Zhang, you choose first?"

Before Zhang Yi could speak, he continued, "Don't worry, Director. They are all new to the mountain city and are very clean."

Zhang Yi glanced at him, pointed at the two blonde girls and asked, "From the Soviet Union?"

"Yes, it is said that he escaped from Vladivostok."

"Vladivostok? The Japanese have trained countless Ajus. Aren't you afraid that they are Japanese spies?"

Lai Guomin half-jokingly said, "Whether she is a human or a ghost, we are all ghost hunters. Why would we be afraid of a little girl?"

This remark made everyone laugh.

"Virgo, pick one!"

"Yes, Virgo, a beautiful day like this is perfect without a beautiful woman."

Facing such a beautiful lady, especially a blonde and blue-eyed Soviet girl, it would be a lie to say that he was not tempted. However, Zhang Yi was not interested in these things and smiled:
"Don't joke around. The Army's punishment order is no joke. Let other comrades enjoy it."

The punishment order was just talk, but its enforcement was limited. Deputy Director Ruan and Yang Zaixing did not take it seriously at all. After a few more words of persuasion, seeing that Zhang Yi was indeed not interested, they took the initiative and each picked a Soviet girl and went to dance with her.

After making arrangements with Deputy Director Ruan and Yang Zaixing, Lai Guomin ordered some tea and fruit, closed the door, and sat next to Zhang Yi to chat.

"Virgo, are you angry because I acted on my own?" Perhaps because of the alcohol, Lai Guomin spoke without beating around the bush.

"No, I'm really not good at this." Zhang Yi was stunned and quickly denied it, but in his heart he couldn't help but admire Lai Guomin's vision and insight.

"I am a vulgar man who couldn't stand the hardship, so I ran here from there just to enjoy life. Please don't blame me, sir." Lai Guomin said apologetically.

"I have a question." Zhang Yi didn't respond, but changed the subject and asked, "Who are you loyal to?"

"Guess?" Lai Guomin asked in a mysterious way.

"I?"

"Hehehe." Lai Guomin suddenly burst into laughter, and his laughter sounded a little crazy.

Zhang Yi also laughed and corrected him, "Are you loyal to Director Dai?"

"No, I am loyal to the National Government." Lai Guomin said seriously, "What about you?"

"right."

"Who isn't?" Lai Guomin shook his head. "No matter how righteous and high-sounding some words are, they are essentially for power. Just like those beautiful women just now, if they weren't after the power and money in our hands, who would go to bed with someone like me who is full of fat intestines and looks stupid? But you, Virgo, are different."

"Oh, what's different about me?"

"You are lenient to others but strict with yourself. You love the country more than you love beauty."

"Wrong, only when you have the kingdom can you have the right to ask for a beauty."

"Hahaha, that's ridiculous." Lai Guomin laughed even louder. "Director, Director, although I am only a section chief, I have met countless superiors, whether on the Red Party side or on our side, and your work ability is the strongest among all the superiors I have ever seen. Your appearance, demeanor, talent and personal charm are second to none among the leaders I have ever seen, but you are the most austere, dull and demanding person I have ever seen.

I am a layman with low consciousness, so I can't understand why a person would do this. Is it to become a saint? But in our society today, saints are not only different, but also unique. "

"It's ridiculous. The country is in crisis. If everyone indulges in sensual pleasures, how can we drive out the Japanese invaders?" Zhang Yi didn't know whether Lai Guomin said this under the influence of alcohol or someone else asked him to say it. He was alert in his heart and pretended to be angry and scolded him a few words.

Lai Guomin remained silent.

"It's fine for us to joke around. But let's get back to the point. Since you are the head of the Judicial Section, you must fulfill your duties. I can't control other matters, and it's not my right to control them." The atmosphere was a little gloomy, and Zhang Yi changed the subject, "It's too heavy to say. It's getting late, let's disperse early."

"Yes." Lai Guomin nodded respectfully and turned to leave. After he left, Zhang Yi looked at the wine glasses on the table, calmly poured out the wine in Yang Zaixing's glass, wrapped it up with a handkerchief, and put it in his pocket.

When the lights come on, it is the warmest dinner time for every household.

Zhang Yi was busy in the study, the alcohol lamp on the desk was blazing. Zhang Yi took out a bottle of iodine from the drawer, dipped a cotton swab in it, evenly applied it on the goblet, and then covered the goblet with the alcohol lamp to bake it.

As the glass cup heated up, purple iodine vapor was quickly produced. Then, the iodine vapor reacted with the oil in the fingerprints to form brown fingerprint lines on the outer wall of the cup.

He immediately took out a rubber sticker, covered the fingerprint from top to bottom, gently pressed and rubbed it for a while, and then carefully tore it off. A complete fingerprint appeared on the rubber sticker.

It was late at night, but the number of passengers had not decreased. On the platform of Shancheng Railway Station, the bustling crowds of people lined up in long and orderly queues, and from a distance, it looked like a huge crowd.

After a while, a clear broadcast came from the small loudspeaker at the train station: "Dear passengers, please pay attention. The train from Shancheng to Guiyang is about to arrive at the platform. Dear passengers, please pay attention. The train from Shancheng to Guiyang is about to arrive at the platform."

On the platform, a wooden sign with "Fengjie Station" written on it swayed slightly in the night breeze.

Kong Xiaobao was standing at the front of one of the many teams, looking around with a vigilant expression. In his arms was a bundle containing 100,000 yuan in cash that he had embezzled and ten small yellow croakers that Kong San had given to Yang Zaixing.

Money is a tempting thing. Kong Xiaobao was afraid that his purchase of fake calligraphy would be exposed, so he decided to go all out and took away the ten small yellow croakers that he was going to give to Yang Zaixing.

The places he most wants to go to are Shanghai and Hong Kong.

However, the railway to Shanghai was blocked, so one had to take a detour to Wuhan. Wuhan was in enemy-occupied territory, so one thought of going to Yunnan first, then taking a detour to Hanoi, and then going to Hong Kong.

However, the railway to Yunnan was started in 37, but was stopped at the beginning of the year for various reasons. If you want to go to Yunnan, you must first take a train to Guiyang and then go there by road.

Not long after, a shrill whistle sounded from far away and the train entered the station.

Kong Xiaobao, who was at the front of the line, was the first to check his ticket and board the train after the train stopped.

He didn't notice that there was a pair of eyes staring at him in the crowd.

At one o'clock in the morning, the phone in Zhang Yi's house suddenly rang.

Zhang Yi, who had just received the information, had not slept yet. He quickly walked to the phone, picked up the phone, and after hearing Zheng Huhe say something on the other end of the phone, he hung up.

Then, he walked into the bathroom and turned on the faucet. Water continued to flow out of the faucet. He scooped up the cold water and splashed it on his face several times.

The cold water drove away the sleepiness.

He slowly wiped his face with a towel and thought slowly. The information he had just received suddenly emerged in his increasingly clear mind.

[1. You met Dai Chunfeng today and obtained relevant information - the chairman issued an order that there are people suspected of being infected with the "plague" who have fled to the mountain city today. The Military Intelligence Bureau is ordered to identify them and eliminate them all.]

Zhang Yi's scalp tingled when he read this intelligence. In July last year and this spring, the Japanese Army's Unit 7 and Unit 731 of the Rong character successively sent planes to Ningbo, Jinhua, Quzhou, Changde and other places to drop large amounts of typhoid bacteria, cholera liquid, and fleas that were extremely contaminated with plague bacteria, causing a large number of deaths.

[2. You met Kong San today and obtained relevant information - Kong San lives at No. 233, YZ District.]

When Zhang Yi saw the second piece of information, his eyes lit up.

He immediately disguised himself, took a spare gun, and went outside.

When he reached the door, he seemed to think of something, turned back and turned on the radio in the cabinet, then turned around and walked out.

Outside the villa where Kong San lived, there was a small river several meters wide that separated it from the outside world.

Zhang Yi had looked at the map beforehand and was prepared for this. He went around the river and soon found a small canoe tied to a big tree.

He untied the rope and jumped onto the boat. After a few strokes, he reached the other side. There was a barrier strip planted with green trees and flowers on the shore. He went through it and reached the garden outside the villa.

This is a three-story Western-style house with a small garden of 20 square meters in front and back.

Zhang Yi looked around carefully and didn't see anyone, so he quickly climbed into the garden, hid in the corner, slowly stood up and looked inside through the window.

After observing for a while and seeing no movement, he was about to sneak in when suddenly he heard the sound of a door opening not far away.

Zhang Yi immediately hid himself in the flowers, and saw that the door of the villa was opened. Two beams of strong light were scanning back and forth. It was the bodyguards on patrol.

Seeing the light circle gradually approaching him, Zhang Yi lifted the back of his clothes with his right hand, pulled out a dagger, and silently prepared to attack at any time.

But when the two men walked to the flowers, they just casually swept the flashlight around and turned away.

"Let's go play cards."

"Not good, right? The Master asked us to increase patrols."

The man who had spoken before rolled his eyes at him and said, "The young master is holding the beauty and doing things. A good night is worth a thousand gold. How can he care about us?"

Another person also laughed: "Yeah, hehe, that woman is really exciting, if I were..."

"Stop daydreaming. How can a toad want to eat swan flesh?"

"Is it not okay to think about it?"

The voices of the two people gradually faded away. Zhang Yi waited for a while, then slowly stood up and looked through the window.

After observing for a while, he sneaked out of the house quietly.

He originally wanted to pry the lock directly, but when he looked up, he was delighted to find that the bolt on the window was not fastened. He immediately took out a piece of wire and inserted it into the gap in the middle of the window. After a few hooks, he hooked the window bolt to the side.

Then he put on gloves and foot coverings, opened the window and jumped in.

The living room was pitch black, with only a ray of light coming from the master bedroom, and the faint sound of a woman's moans could be heard.

Zhang Yi ignored him, took out a small flashlight from his pocket, covered it with his palm, and looked around the house. However, the layout of the house was somewhat different from what he had imagined.

The living room is about one hundred square meters, but the decoration style is extremely simple.

The floor was covered with gray tiles, and the walls were made of cement. There were a few paintings and plaques hanging on the wall, which looked very simple. There were not many furnitures, mostly made of wood, which seemed to be quite old, and all the items on the table were also very old.

Nothing here is luxurious, and it is even more inconsistent with Kong San's identity.
