The Spy

Chapter 110 Big Trouble
Where did Lu Dawang hide this deposit certificate?

Pingchuan explained that including the money he had given him before, he was given almost forty gold bars in total.

Whether deposited in a Chinese or foreign bank, this is a considerable sum of money.

There is no rush regarding the deposit certificate, let’s examine Kuroda first.

Kuroda was not as thin as other Japanese. He was at least 1.75 meters tall. Fortunately, Xu Qingshi was also tall and strong. The four of them attacked him from the front and back and successfully subdued him.

According to the people who were escorted back, he had no weapons or poison on him.

He was working when he received the call, and he probably left in a hurry and didn't have time to go back to equip these things.

Kuroda was brought in without saying a word.

Xu Qingyun didn't bother to be polite with him and arranged a half-hour set meal for him first.

What Xu Qingyun didn't expect was that Kuroda actually resisted the torture and didn't make a single sound except for groaning.

After half an hour, another punishment will be given.

Kuroda still held on and said nothing no matter how he was asked. Eventually he fainted three times.

His performance is much better than Pingchuan.

There are people in Japan who can endure punishment, such as Kawada.

He Tian has been brought to the headquarters by Xu Qingyun for custody. His punishment will not stop until he truly confesses.

Now there is a second Kawata.

The previous torture was too harsh, so this time Zheng Jiming beat him to his heart's content and only changed people when he was left with no strength left.

"Team Leader Xu, we can't fight anymore."

After Kuroda fell unconscious for the fourth time, the people who attacked him came over and whispered to him that they had witnessed Xu Qingyun's cruelty today, but Kuroda's performance also surprised them.

This Japanese guy actually held out to the end.

"Heal him."

Xu Qingyun stood up. Pingchuan had confessed. Kuroda's confession was not important, but if he did not confess, it would not be considered a complete success.

The electric chair was not used this time. He will be interrogated again using it after his body recovers a little.

By the way, let Kawata enjoy the pleasure of the electric chair again.

These two people will make them bow their heads sooner or later.

In the Hangzhou Special High Section, Seiji Oota knelt in front of the section chief with his head lowered.

He had already informed Kuroda and hoped that Kuroda could return safely, but Hirakawa could not come back.

It's a pity for Pingchuan, a very good agent who did such an excellent job and was about to incite people from the Military Intelligence Department to defect again, but he was arrested at this time.

His heart was bleeding.

"It's not your fault this time. Find a way for our insider to find out what happened."

Section Chief Toshiharu Nambu sighed. They had no idea how Hirakawa was exposed, but based on the information passed on by their informants, it was obvious that the other party was conducting a large-scale investigation. They probably used some method to narrow the scope of the investigation.

They want to find out the truth to avoid similar incidents in the future.

"Hay."

Oota Seiji lowered his head sharply. Pingchuan was his subordinate, and this loss was too great for him.

Previously, Pingchuan’s timely transmission of intelligence helped the Shanghai Special High Section avoid losses.

In fact, Nanjing belonged to the territory of the Shanghai Special High Section. After knowing that they had developed an insider in the Nanjing Military Intelligence Department, Shanghai wanted to take the person away.

The section chief resisted the pressure and didn't give it.

Now that everything is gone, the section chief will be under even greater pressure.

Oota Seiji retreated and had to find out the truth. He wanted to know who killed Hirakawa and avenge Hirakawa.

"teacher."

With Pingchuan's confession, Xu Qingyun came to the section chief's office.

"Come and sit."

Xu Zhanjie stood up immediately. The director praised him highly today, and it was all because of this student who stood up for him.

"Teacher, this is Pingchuan's confession. He persuaded Lu Dawang to defect when he was in Hangzhou."

Xu Qingyun handed in his confession and spoke softly. Xu Zhanjie's expression turned serious. The school management in Hangzhou is so strict, how could the Japanese find a loophole to take advantage of it?
He carefully read the confession in front of him.

He did not participate in the interrogation today, leaving it entirely to Xu Qingyun. He does not need this credit.

"Lu Dawang is so greedy for money?"

Before he finished reading, Xu Zhanjie frowned and asked, "Lu Dawang was indeed stingy in normal times, but I didn't expect him to value money so much."

Stingy people have existed since ancient times. You should pay attention to this aspect in the future. If you are too stingy, it may become a weakness and be caught by the Japanese.

The Japanese learned their lesson, and Xu Zhanjie would do the same.

"He also gave money to the people in the Operations Department?"

Seeing the end, Xu Zhanjie was slightly stunned. Pingchuan confessed that he wanted to recruit more spies in the Military Intelligence Department. Based on the information provided by Lu Dawang, he selected three suitable people.

Pingchuan was cautious and observed for a long time before contacting two of them.

This time, he gave money again, but one person didn't want it, but the other person took his money.

Neither of them knew his true identity.

"Qingyun, go back first and tell them that the rewards will be issued soon."

Since this is related to the Operations Department, Xu Zhanjie must say hello to He Ming, the head of the Operations Department.

"is teacher."

Xu Qingyun bent down and left. The people from the Operations Department took the money, so this matter could be a big deal or a small one.

To put it in a bigger picture, there is a high possibility that he was instigated by the Japanese. To put it in a smaller picture, who doesn't take money these days?

His mistake was that he didn't know the other party's true identity and dared to take the money first. Especially at this critical juncture, Xu Qingyun estimated that he would be in big trouble.

Fortunately, he didn't know Pingchuan was Japanese. If he had known and still accepted him, he would have surely died.

The operations department's affairs had nothing to do with him, but another person withstood the test. Before knowing Pingchuan's true identity, he would have been fine if he had not taken the money.

"Lao Xu, you're not here to show off that your student caught someone, are you?"

As soon as Xu Zhanjie arrived at He Ming's office, He Ming asked with a smile, "The Military Intelligence Department is so small that any movement will soon be known to everyone." Xu Zhanjie personally went to the door to pick him up, and He Ming had been paying attention to him for a long time.

"Old He, I came to see you for something important."

The two knew each other before the Military Intelligence Department was established. They had worked together with the Director and were his absolute confidants.

Usually the two of them always like to compare with each other.

Xu Zhanjie is the head of the intelligence department and has a natural advantage. He Ming can never beat him. When he saw Xu Zhanjie coming to him, he thought he was showing off again.

"This is the explanation from the Japanese spy we captured. Take a look first."

Xu Zhanjie took out the confession, which only had the last page. The previous pages had nothing to do with He Ming, so there was no need to let him see them.

The previous one was about Lu Dawang. The intelligence team members were so greedy that they asked for information directly from their teammates just for money. This is a shame for their intelligence department.

He would never tell anyone who shouldn't know.

"my people?"

He Ming finished reading it quickly and his eyes widened.

Xu Zhanjie nodded: "I didn't report it to the director, you can handle it yourself."

"Thank you, Lao Xu."

He Ming looked serious. His people had contact with Japanese spies and received money from them. If the director knew about it, he would probably shoot them on the spot regardless of whether he knew the other party's identity or not. The director could not tolerate any sand in his eyes. Moreover, it would be easy for the Japanese spies to catch him. In the future, he would become a traitor to the Japanese if he had no choice. The director would never accept someone who showed such disloyalty.

"Handle it as soon as possible. Once Xu Qingyun finishes writing the case report, I will have to report it."

Xu Zhanjie warned, and He Ming nodded: "Don't worry, I will catch him right away."

If He Ming had arrested people in advance, he would have had less responsibility. Fortunately, no serious consequences were caused. If he had really been instigated by the Japanese to rebel, he would not just be scolded.

There was a traitor in the Intelligence Department. If Xu Qingyun had not made several great contributions before, Xu Zhanjie would have been in trouble if he had taken advantage of the situation.

Xu Zhanjie got up and left, his message had been delivered, He Ming should remember this favor.

Except Yan Ming, Xu Qingyun has called everyone else back.

With Pingchuan's confession, there is no need to further investigate the remaining people.

The case can be said to be closed.

Xu Qingshi led his men back to the police station. With this contribution, they could gain a foothold in the police station.

Ordinary people don't dare to do anything to them at will. If they provoke the Military Intelligence Department, they will be in big trouble.

Before coming here, Xu Qingshi had learned about the situation in Nanjing.

The Tianjin Police Department has a strong degree of autonomy, mainly because the Kuomintang has weak control over Tianjin. But it is different in Nanjing. The police are most afraid of the Military Intelligence Department. If they are targeted by these spies, they will be in great danger even if they do not die.

Sitting in the office, Xu Qingyun was looking through the documents.

Lu Dawang's savings certificate needs to be found. According to Yan Ming's investigation, the maximum amount of money he kept in his hometown is more than one thousand oceans.

Forty gold bars are worth more than twelve thousand dollars.

Such a huge amount of money must be recovered, and the bank cannot be let off cheaply.

The key is where he hid the deposit certificate.

Pingchuan didn't have the conditions to look for things, and he didn't dare to run around the Military Intelligence Department, but they were different.

Gong Zhaolin entered the dormitory at three o'clock in the afternoon. At ten past three, Lu Dawang came back to get his things.

He did not return to the dormitory after that. He returned to the office around 3:40.

Jason had investigated his whereabouts before.

He didn't ride a bike, let alone drive a car, so he couldn't walk far in half an hour. Besides, excluding the time it took him to leave the dormitory and return to the office, it would only take him more than twenty minutes at most.

He would not hide the things inside the Military Intelligence Department. Once he escapes, he will be trapped if he comes back. The place must be within ten minutes' walk away.

In ten minutes, if you walk fast, you can walk at least one kilometer.

This means that the place where he could hide things could only be within a radius of more than one kilometer.

This range is still too large.

Look for the things slowly. Lu Dawang is the one who wants to escape. Since he dares to hide in Nanjing, it proves that he is confident that others cannot find him easily.

"Team Leader, we have found the phone number. It is a public phone in Hangzhou."

Yan Ming was the last one to come back. He was sent by Xu Qingyun to investigate the phone call that notified Kuroda.

"Team leader, I also found out that the call was made to a shared phone near Qiao Tiansen's store. I went to ask, and the person on the other end was looking for Qiao Tiansen. After knowing that Qiao Tiansen was in trouble, he asked a lot of questions." Yan Ming continued.

"Who did he call first?" Xu Qingyun asked.

"Qiao Tiansen's side." Yan Ming had already asked clearly and answered immediately.

Xu Qingyun's eyebrows twitched. As expected, it was Hangzhou that notified them.

Find Pingchuan first to explain that they don't know about the arrest and that there is no leak on my side.

The source of the leak is in Hangzhou.

Xu Qingyun felt a little headache when he thought about this. The Military Intelligence Department had only been established for a short time, and it had been infiltrated everywhere by the Japanese.

From this we can see the gap between their intelligence work and that of the Japanese at that time.

The Hangzhou matter is not his responsibility, but there will definitely be trouble at the Hangzhou station this time. After the final report is submitted, the director will definitely be angry.

"No need to check the phone number again. Hangzhou helped this time after all. Send them a call to remind them."

Xu Qingyun shook his head. There was no need for Xu Zhanjie to tell them this. They could just let Hangzhou Station know in advance so that they would not be caught off guard.

Otherwise, they will hold a grudge against you and you will offend people for nothing.

"Yes, I'll send it myself."

Yan Ming is a professional intelligence officer who knows how to use a radio.

All the things from the hotel have been brought back, including the radio. The radio was originally brought there by the telecommunications department. The two people who helped from the telecommunications department have also returned.

They were there for a short time and the case was closed quickly, so they got a bargain.

They also share a share of the credit for this achievement.

At Hangzhou Station, Station Master Cai Shifeng received a telegram from headquarters.

His eyes widened after reading the content.

Intelligence team leader Luan Tianhe lowered his head and stood in front of him.

"Who are the people involved in this operation?"

Cai Shifeng looked unhappy. The fourth intelligence group of the headquarters first thanked them for their help and said that they would report their help truthfully. They emphasized that it was after they verified Wu Qijie's identity that the fourth intelligence group kept an eye on him in time.

He liked to hear this. Intelligence Group 4 was very particular and kept their word.

But then they changed the subject and told them that before the arrest, there was a long-distance call from Hangzhou reminding the Japanese spies to evacuate, as there was a possibility of a leak at the Hangzhou station.

Leakage of information means there is a traitor, which is no small matter no matter where it happens.

Cai Shifeng is also someone who has fought with Chu Zuo and understands Chu Zuo's character.

"There are a lot of people, including people from our intelligence team, operations team, and telecommunications team."

There were too many people Nanjing asked them to verify, and each person had to send several people to inquire about the situation. The intelligence team had only dozens of people and was too busy to handle it, so people from the action team came to help.

As for the telecommunications team, they have been responsible for receiving telegrams and must be aware of it.

There are so many people here. If there is anyone with a bigger mouth, the whole station will know about it.

Cai Shifeng has a headache.

He had no way of investigating such a large area. If he had known to keep the investigation confidential, at least he would have had a direction to investigate.

"Go investigate immediately. First check the people who know the truth. Ask them if they have told anyone else about it. If so, who did they tell? Or has anyone asked about it? The traitor must be found."

Cai Shifeng issued an order that there would never be peace unless the traitor was eliminated, and he understood this principle.

"Yes, stationmaster."

Luan Tianhe lowered his head and walked out. When he received the telegram, he knew that there was big trouble.

Intelligence Group 4 told them very clearly that the person from Hangzhou first called Qiao Tiansen and then notified Wu Qijie.

If Nanjing hadn't kept an eye on him in advance, Wu Qijie would have already escaped.

The identities of the two Japanese spies have been identified. Both belong to the Hangzhou Special High Section, one in the intelligence group and the other in the operations group.

There were only two of them from the Hangzhou Special High Section in Nanjing.

Intelligence Group 4's operation went smoothly without any problems. The call came from Hangzhou, so they couldn't even shirk responsibility. It must have been their mistake that let the people from the Special High Section know about it, and they wanted to withdraw the people from Nanjing.

If Intelligence Group 4 had not successfully captured the two people, they would have been in even bigger trouble this time.

Finding the traitor is the most troublesome thing, but no matter how troublesome it is, it has to be found. Luan Tianhe has no choice but to call a meeting with his subordinates and the action team leader to see how to find the traitor.
