Spy wars start with lurking Secretary Hong

Chapter 419 This round is dangerous

"We've got a job." Gao Bin put down the phone and looked at Hong Zhiyou.

"What kind of work?"

"The Jiamusi Special Service Section captured two students who were delivering messages to the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces in the mountains. Following the clues, they destroyed an underground communication station that was involved in illegal gambling."

"From them, Section Chief Zhu learned that the letter was sent by a woman named Sister Lan from Harbin."

"First came Sun Yuejian."

"Now that Sister Lan has appeared, just how many ghosts are hiding underground in Harbin?"

Gao Bin snorted coldly and said with his hands behind his back in a chilling tone.

Gu Qiuyan, that idiot… Hong Zhi cursed under his breath, then laughed in agreement: “Even the most powerful ghost will be exposed under your discerning eyes, Uncle.”

"According to the spy Lao Cui over there, he disguised himself as a liaison for the Anti-Japanese United Army and managed to extract some information from the messenger, Zhang Pingjun."

"This Sister Lan is Zhang Pingjun's sister-in-law. She is very beautiful, dresses fashionably and luxuriously, mingles in high society, and has only recently gotten married."

"The siege of the Qixinglazi Arsenal was a top secret of the Police Department and the Military Police Command."

Very few people know about it.

"What does this mean? It means there are spies with red tickets planted between the high-ranking officials of our police department and the military police."

"The military police are all Japanese, so the possibility of them defecting is not high."

"Then there's only one possibility: this ghost is among the higher-ups in our police department."

"Zhiyou, who do you think it could be?"

Gao Bin looked at Hong Zhiyou and asked, rather annoyed.

“Uncle, I wouldn’t dare to say that,” Hong Zhiyou said.

“It wasn’t me, it wasn’t you, what’s there to be afraid to say? You can’t just think about making money all the time, you have to use your brain and think about these things sometimes,” Gao Bin said, pointing at him.

"Ok.

"There are quite a few people in the police department who know about the siege of the Qixinglazi Arsenal. You, Captain Zhou, Lu Ming, Liu Kui, and especially the big-mouthed Lu Ming, could very well have inadvertently leaked the news."

"It could also be the two department heads, or their family members."

"It's difficult to pinpoint a specific person based on such a vague piece of information alone."

Hongzhi has the Way.

“I think Captain Zhou has a big problem,” Gao Bin said.

"Why?" Hong Zhiyou's heart skipped a beat.

"Married not long ago?"
"Gu Qiuyan has only been in Harbin for a short time, is it possible that she meant that?"
"Mrs. Zhou is the most beautiful woman in the entire police department."

Isn't she the prime suspect?

Gao Bin analyzed.

"Uncle, I don't think so. Some of the women in the hall have concubines or mistresses who are prettier than Gu Qiuyan. And the concubine of Section Chief Zhang from the Security Bureau is also a great beauty."

"Among the women in the military police headquarters and military police force, there are quite a few who are beautiful."

"To say that Gu Qiuyan is the most suspicious based solely on this is, in my opinion, biased."

Hong Zhiyou raised objections.

"Are you favoring Zhou Yi?" Gao Bin pointed at him.

“Uncle, I’m just analyzing the problem from the perspective of a top student at the Tokyo Army Academy, seeking to be realistic,” Hong Zhiyou said.

Gao Bin remained silent.

"See? I told you not to get me involved in the Special Service Section's affairs."

“If I say too much, you’ll get upset,” Hong Zhiyou said, pursing his lips.

“I’m not upset, I just have doubts,” Gao Bin said.

"In any case, I think that judging from the bandit suppression and the pacification of the General Guan, the Special Service Section was a unified whole."

"It seems unreasonable to target the Special Service Section, which is currently riding high on morale, based on some shoddy intelligence from the Jiamusi direction alone."

"Don't let Sister Lan fail to find out and break the hearts of several staff members."

"Who will work hard and do things for you then?"

Hongzhi has the Way.

These are two different things.

"Maintaining skepticism is a fundamental prerequisite for doing this job."

"Kindness and human sentiment can sometimes blind your mind and eyes."

"You need to take this to heart, or it will be too late when you suffer the consequences."

Gao Bin nodded to his nephew, then sniffed his slightly stuffy nose and gave the order:

"You call Captain Zhou and have him secretly escorted back from Jiamusi."

“Yes, Uncle.” Hong Zhiyou accepted the order.

"Zhiyou, you need to learn to observe and give Zhou Yi some information to see what he will do," Gao Bin reminded him again.

"Understood," Hong Zhi replied.

As he reached the door, Gao Bin called him back:
"Be careful, come home for dinner tonight. Your aunt said she's going to stew venison for you."

"Understood, don't worry."

Hong Zhi smiled and walked away quickly.

Looking at the gleaming desk and the bright red tea, a smile appeared on Gao Bin's face.

He has always been very accurate in judging people.

Zhi wipes the desk, including the desk lamp and telephone, and wipes them frequently.

It's the same almost every day, every time.

What does this show?

This child is sincere; it comes from the bottom of his heart.

If someone is truly a sycophant, they might behave the same way once or twice, but it's very difficult to maintain a calm and peaceful state of mind every day.

Sigh, this child is filial and intelligent, but too kind-hearted.

This is not a good thing.

Coming to his senses, Gao Bin took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, then pressed the alarm bell under his desk.

"Section Chief." Police Secretary Xiao Li walked in.

"Call Section Chief Lu here," Gao Bin ordered.

Soon, Lu Ming strode in: "Section Chief, you wanted to see me?"

"We arrested someone in Jiamusi and are transferring them to Harbin."

"Go and investigate a Harbin Institute of Technology student named Zhang Pingjun. His girlfriend is named Su Xiaoyun. Investigate their social connections, arrest all their immediate family members you can."

"Also, urge the Security Bureau to reply to Mrs. Zhou's file."

"Also, check if Mrs. Zhou's handwriting is there."

"Especially the handwriting I've done recently."

Gao Bin's eyes flashed with a cold light as he shrewdly gave his orders.

"Section Chief, do you mean there's something going on between Gu Qiuyan and Captain Zhou?" Lu Ming asked, feigning suspicion, while concealing his inner smugness.

If Zhou Yi is dismissed, he can take over as the action team leader.

This is good news.

Gao Bin saw through Lu Ming's little scheme at a glance, which was exactly what he wanted to see.

Regardless of whether Zhou Yi was a "red vote" or not, he hoped to see his subordinates compete against each other.

A harmonious atmosphere prevailed, and everyone shared a common hatred of the enemy.

That's what the Japanese and His Majesty the Emperor wanted to see.

For him, the Special Service Section's little territory was still a bit of a source of gossip and infighting.

Especially someone as composed, capable, and accomplished as Zhou Yi, if he were to occasionally unleash his dog to bite him, the section chief would lose all sense of importance.

He tore open a new pack of cigarettes and handed one to Lu Ming: "I've said before that skepticism is a virtue. This is intelligence information they sent over from over there. Take a look."

"Yes, Sister Lan."

"Very beautiful, a wealthy lady?"

"It does indeed resemble Gu Qiuyan."

"Among the family members in our department, she is the most beautiful."

"If she is that Sister Lan, then Zhang Pingjun is her brother-in-law."

Lu Ming glanced at it, took the cigarette, and took a few puffs.

"See? You've started to suspect it too." Gao Bin laughed, his hands behind his back.

"I am just like you, Section Chief, someone who pursues virtue."

“The problem is, if Zhang Pingjun is Gu Qiuyan’s brother-in-law, shouldn’t Zhang Pingjun’s surname be Zhou?” Lu Ming said.

Is it possible that Zhang Pingjun's original surname was Zhou?

"Or perhaps, Gu Qiuyan wasn't Captain Zhou's wife at all?"

Gao Bin narrowed his eyes and made a very frightening prediction.

"Section Chief, you'd better not decline."

"Captain Zhou's marriage registration is clearly recorded and has official stamps. The Security Bureau won't make mistakes in these basic verification processes," Lu Ming said with a smile.

It's unlikely.

"But if you're determined to set things up, there's nothing in this world that you can't do."

"Since it's a suspicion, we should naturally consider all possibilities. Those of us in this line of work must be cautious in judging others."

"A gentleman cannot make a living in this field."

Gao Bin said.

"Alright, I'll contact my old classmates in Fengtian to help me check."

"It's hopeless to rely on those incompetent bastards in the Security Bureau."

"Chen Jingyu keeps putting it off until tomorrow, and then the day after tomorrow. By the time he finds out about my grandson, he'll probably be pregnant."

"However... Gu Qiuyan's handwriting is not easy to identify. Recently, Captain Zhou has been filling out the family information forms for her."

Lu Ming made a humorous joke, then frowned and got back to the main topic.

When you encounter difficulties, solve them.

"Captain Zhou has been back for so long, the gas at home should be almost used up by now."

"Send someone to come and repair or replace the gas, and find an opportunity to have her sign it so you can compare the handwriting."

Gao Bin raised an eyebrow and gave the order.

"Yes, Section Chief, you are indeed more insightful."

“I’ll take care of it right now and arrest Zhang Pingjun’s family.”

Lu Ming, as if injected with adrenaline, turned and left.

"Oh, right, call Liu Kui over," Gao Bin instructed.

Soon, Liu Kui walked in.

"How's it going with the Bunekov building?" Gao Bin asked.

“The Zhou couple did indeed buy books and clothes on the streets near Gogol,” Liu Kui reported truthfully.

He is different from Lu Ming.

His accusations against Zhou Yi and Hong Zhiyou were purely out of a guilty conscience; he wouldn't make baseless accusations without direct evidence.

"Some people also saw Hong Zhiyou carrying that suitcase to Deputy Director Liu's house."

"I stayed inside for a full hour and a half."

"Section Chief, judging from the evidence alone, perhaps I did misunderstand Captain Zhou and his wife."

“If that box contains a radio, it can’t be that Deputy Director Liu also has a red ticket, can it?” Liu Kui laughed.

"of course not.

"Alright, let's leave the Gogol Street radio station case at that for now and put it aside."

"Go prepare the torture instruments. We'll work overtime together tonight."

Gao Bin gave the instructions.

"Yes, Section Chief." Liu Kui accepted the order.

……

On the train to Jiamusi.

Zhou Yi stood at the junction of the carriages, smoking.

"Please show me your identification." The flight attendant approached and asked with a condescending air.

Zhou Yi pulled out his ID and flashed it.

The flight attendant quickly returned the money with both hands, bowed respectfully, and hurried away with her head down.

Looking out the car window at the snow-covered plains rushing by, Zhou Yi felt a deep sense of bitterness.

Zhang Pingjun has been arrested!

The transportation station in Jiamusi was destroyed.

Without a doubt, this college student with no experience in underground work was the person Gu Qiuyan sent to deliver a message to the mountains.

This was a fatal mistake.

The situation was a hundred times, a thousand times more dangerous than sending a telegram.

Zhou Yi took a deep breath. He had to respond as soon as possible, going through the whole process from beginning to end to see if there was any chance of survival.

Last time, Gu Qiuyan sent someone to deliver a letter.

He went to Lao Wei's place overnight to discuss the matter and studied Gu Qiuyan's information.

Gu Qiuyan's husband was Zhang Pingru, a member of the Anti-Japanese Allied Army in the mountains.

However, it's not in the Fourth Brigade.

Instead, it was the Sixth Brigade in the Zhuhe area.

The siege of the Qixinglazi Arsenal directly affected the lives of the soldiers in the Sixth Detachment, which is why this woman was anxious and made foolish mistakes time and time again.

Zhang Pingjun is her brother-in-law.

The Zhang family has been practicing medicine for generations. Gu Qiuyan's father-in-law, Zhang Zhongnian, is a famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor in Harbin.

Zhang Pingjun knew Gu Qiuyan.

However, according to Lao Wei, after Gu Qiuyan and Zhang Pingru secretly married, she went to the headquarters of the Soviet Red Army for training, and very few of Lao Zhang's relatives had ever seen her.

In addition, due to Zhang Pingru's special status, not many people in Harbin know her true identity.

If that's all there is to it, it's not so bad.

The problem is that Gu Qiuyan's sending Zhang Pingjun to deliver the letter means that her and her husband's identities have been exposed.

As long as Zhang Pingjun speaks.

Let me reveal some interesting details, such as Gu Qiuyan's appearance, the characteristics of her voice, her height and hairstyle, which school she attended, and the year she married Zhang Pingru, etc.

With Gao Bin's shrewdness, he could immediately find Gu Qiuyan based on any information.

Or rather, Gao Bin had already set his sights on Gu Qiuyan at this moment.

This is a creature more ruthless and cunning than a jackal.

Zhou Yi believed that the area around his home was now teeming with spies, and that his phone was being monitored. If he called to tip off Gu Qiuyan, and she showed any unusual behavior, Gao Bin would immediately arrest her.

Dead end.

A real dead end.

The Japanese will never be lenient with red tickets.

Even if Gu Qiuyan is arrested but doesn't confess to him.

Gao Bin would also directly transfer himself to the Japanese for handling.

Unless Zhang Pingjun refuses to confess even under duress.

But that's almost impossible.

Let alone Zhang Pingjun being just an ordinary college student, even seasoned veterans who have undergone special training and been tested over time would have no choice but to confess obediently under Gao Bin's cruel "Five Elements" torture method.

In an instant, Zhou Yi felt utterly hopeless, his eyes filled with despair.

"Old Zhou, we're almost at the station." Hong Zhiyou walked over.

Zhang Pingjun has met Gu Qiuyan.

"His family members have also most likely met him."

“Once this person falls into the hands of the police, I will not be able to escape this calamity.”

Zhou Yi regained his composure and gently exhaled a puff of smoke.

Hong Zhiyou was able to understand his concerns.

In fact, he wasn't sure if Zhou Yi would be exposed.

Reality is completely different from "The Cliff".

Gao Bin would have a hundred ways to verify this, such as monitoring phone calls and residences, arresting Zhang Pingjun's family members, and so on.

Any possibility could be fatal.

"Unfortunately, you can't leave now even if you want to." Hong Zhi glanced at the carriage.

There were a few pairs of eyes staring at this side.

Clearly, it was either the Security Bureau or Gao Bin's informant.

If Zhou Yi dares to run away, these people will arrest him on the spot and even shoot him.

"Yes, we can only leave it to fate," Zhou Yi said with a wry smile.

“What if you’re lucky?” Hong Zhiyou said.

"I hope so." Zhou Yi stubbed out his cigarette and returned to his seat.

Hong Zhi did not speak again.

Language is powerless at this moment.

Unlike Lao Yu's situation.

Yu Zecheng was facing Ma Kui and Li Ya, and his life and death were ultimately in Wu Jingzhong's hands.

Zhou Yi was different; he was facing Gao Bin.

He practically single-handedly took on the entire Special Service Division.

In other words, if Wu Jingzhong were to keep a close eye on Yu Zecheng like Gao Bin, and act as domineeringly and without regard to evidence as the Special Agents or the Japanese.

Old Yu definitely won't survive more than three episodes. On the very day Cui Ping enters the city, she will be arrested and tortured by Liu Xiong because of the grenade incident.

Moreover... the torture methods used by the Japanese and the Special Agent Section were even more brutal than those used by the Military Intelligence Bureau; these guys were completely inhuman.

We arrived at the Jiamusi Police Department.

Zhu Yi, the head of the Special Affairs Section, and Cui Wancheng, the captain of the action team, greeted them at the entrance of the hall.

Zhu Yi had a thick mustache, was tall, and had sharp, shrewd triangular eyes; he was clearly not someone to be trifled with.

Choi Man-sung looked unremarkable; he was thin and beardless, just like the uncle next door.

It is precisely these kinds of people who are dangerous.

Zhang Pingjun was deceived by this seemingly honest and kind face, and was tricked into revealing his sister-in-law's identity as "Sister Lan".

"Section Chief Zhu, Captain Cui, it's been a long time." Zhou Yi greeted them warmly.

"Captain Zhou, you're still as energetic as ever."

"Your younger brother is remarkable. Lord Zhang personally commended you. In my opinion, you'll be promoted in a few years." Zhu Yi stepped forward and shook hands.

"A promotion is out of the question; just not making any mistakes is a blessing."

"By the way, this is Section Chief Gao's nephew, Hong Zhiyou, also known as Section Chief Hong," he added.

"Section Chief Zhu, Captain Cui," Hong Zhi greeted politely.

“Tsk tsk.

"Everyone says that Brother Hong brought down Commander Guan and took over his mess. I thought he was some kind of saint."

"I never expected it to be my own nephew."

"Truly an outstanding individual."

Like Gao Bin, Zhu Yi has a silver tongue; he can talk a good game and even fool a ghost.

"Come on, let's talk inside."

As he walked, he put his arm around Hong Zhiyou's shoulder:

"Your uncle and I used to work under Chief Doihara. We're old brothers and partners."

"But I'm not as lucky as your uncle."

"He went to Harbin, an international city, while I can only stay in Jiamusi, this poor place, and starve."

Zhu Yi's words revealed a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Uncle Zhu, the air in Jiamusi is good, and there are fewer worries."

"Putting everything else aside, your complexion and hair volume are much better than my uncle's."

Hong Zhiyou smiled.

"Ha ha.

"That's about it. You know, I finally solved a case, and as soon as I reported it, the higher-ups ordered it to be transferred to Harbin."

"In Binjiang Province, other departments have always followed the lead of Harbin."

"No reward for meritorious service."

"Any mistake must be punished."

Zhu Yi complained.

As he spoke, he waved for someone to open the door to the interrogation room.

"Old Zhu, Section Chief Gao knows that the brothers in Jiamusi have worked hard. This is a small token of our appreciation from our budget. Consider it a treat for the brothers to have a drink."

Zhou Yi took a large red envelope out of his pocket and placed it on the table.

"We're all from the same brother unit, so we should help each other out." Zhu Yi glanced at Lao Cui, and Cui Wannian put the red envelope away.

The interrogation room reeked of blood.

Four people were imprisoned in total.

Three men and one woman.

It doesn't look like they used much force; there were only minor superficial injuries.

It seems Zhu Yi knew he wouldn't get the job, so he didn't put in much effort.

"Section Chief Zhu, it's getting late, we're waiting to go back and report."

"I'm taking the person with me."

"Hard!"

Zhou Yi signed the document, shook hands, and the handover was completed quickly.

"it is good.
