The Spy

Chapter 160 Caught One

The person he met was Xiao Guan Denan, a member of the Shanghai Special High Section.

He was the main person responsible for instigating Shi Qingbin's rebellion.

After confirming the man's identity, Xu Qingyun no longer needed to wait. Xiao Guan would definitely contact Huo Changling again to confirm the time and place for the meeting tomorrow.

Once he can't get in touch with anyone, he will run away immediately.

"Notify Yan Ming and arrest him."

Xu Qingyun gave the order decisively. Yan Ming received the order before he had set up the surveillance point.

This is the first news, and there is also good news.

After investigation, Jason and his team finally found the suspects, and they found two at a time.

Surveillance of the two men has begun and their identities are being verified.

Xu Qingyun did not send anyone there, but Xiang Jiesheng had enough manpower to keep an eye on them.

Two have been found, and the investigation cannot stop. Xiang Jason is also very busy now.

The last message came from Miao Feng.

Miao Feng investigated Xin Shaowu. Xin Shaowu had simple relationships in the unit and didn't have many friends. He had no relationship with the Security Department, and he hadn't specifically inquired about any information about the Security Department.

Yao Chang was a sentry, one of the lowest-ranking people in the Military Intelligence Department, and he was a former private.

Xin Shaowu is a backbone of the telecommunications department and an intellectual. He is not the same type of person as Yao Chang.

It's not just Xin Shaowu, the entire telecommunications department has little interaction with the security department.

This is normal. In future generations, the department in charge of technology in a unit will not have much relationship with the security department. Even if there is one, the security guards will be asked to protect their technical equipment.

Miao Feng was not satisfied with this result.

He is investigating further to see if he can find any clues of connection.

"Chief Miao, you can investigate Xin Shaowu, but don't use all your strength. I suggest you conduct a comprehensive investigation of Yao Chang's relationships, and focus on this aspect. He is short of money, so he must have borrowed money from someone. Only those who borrowed money from him, or those around him, can know his detailed situation."

It is not an honorable thing to borrow money from others when you have no money at home.

Yao Chang won't tell anyone about it.

He borrowed so much money, so he must have creditors, and there must be some within the unit, and these people are the key.

"I've already asked someone to investigate. I'll send more people to focus on this aspect later."

Miao Feng sighed slightly. It was not that he did not check, but he had already determined in his heart that there was something wrong with Xin Shaowu, and he focused all his energy on Xin Shaowu, otherwise he would not have found out all these in such a short time.

Unfortunately, the result disappointed him a little.

If Xin Shaowu didn't know about Yao Chang's situation, and it was really a traitor who leaked the information, then Xin Shaowu couldn't be the traitor.

Xin Shaowu is not a traitor, so he asks Xu Qingyun what the clothes are for?
"Chief Miao, don't worry. As long as we find the right direction, the traitor will show up soon. Xin Shaowu is a suspect and we can't arrest him directly, but if we are sure he is not a Japanese spy, we can secretly ask him why he inquired about my situation before."

Xu Qingyun advised that Xin Shaowu was indeed a suspect, but he was more like a firewall set up by Japanese spies.

They couldn't arrest him, but they were sure that he was innocent. So they talked in private and Xin Shaowu would tell them everything honestly.

"Okay, I'll check first to make sure Xin Shaowu is not a traitor. I'll talk to him secretly."

Miao Feng agreed. He was not someone who would not listen to advice. Various evidences showed that Xin Shaowu was most likely not a traitor and there was no point in arresting him.

What he wants is a real traitor, fake ones won’t do.

If you catch a fake report and take it as a real one, and the director finds out, it will be more than just being fired.

Even if you don't die, you will be skinned.

Outside, Yan Ming finally decided to wait for little Guan Deman to come out before arresting him.

It’s right in the alley, not too far away.

Yan Ming asked his neighbors and found out that there was only one person living there, and his accomplice obviously did not live with him.

Catching him outside would make too much noise and would easily be discovered by his accomplices.

Now that there are two Japanese spies, we can’t let them escape.

Through his footprints, Xu Qingyun has also determined that he is not the one who instigated Yao Chang to rebel.

Yan Ming was patient and waited outside.

In the evening, Xiaoguan finally went out. Yanming had already arranged people on both sides of the door and was waiting there.

There are two people on each side of the door.

Waiting for a long time will cause mental and physical fatigue. Yan Ming replaces a group of people every two hours. The replaced people rest at the entrance of the alley and are ready to provide support at any time.

The noise of Xiaoguan leaving the house was heard by the people outside. All four of them stood up straight and prepared to take action.

"Captain, we got it."

As soon as Xiaoguan appeared, he found someone near the door. Before he could retreat, he was knocked to the ground by two people. The other two stepped forward to control his hands and feet, and the person who had knocked him down before was holding the corner of his clothes tightly.

Xiaoguan realized something was wrong, and when he bit down, he only bit the team member's hand.

Even though his hand was bitten and bleeding, the team member did not let go. He touched something soft, which was most likely poison.

"Bring back."

Yan Ming arrived and saw Xiaoguan who was tied up and gagged. He waved his hand, and several people immediately forcibly carried Xiaoguan to the entrance of the alley and stuffed him into the car.

Yan Ming's action was almost exactly the same as Xu Qingyun's.

As expected, poison was found inside Xiaoguan's collar, but luckily he didn't get bitten by it.

In the interrogation room, Xu Qingyun was already waiting for them.

After catching the man, Yan Ming called Xu Qingyun to report the situation.

Just one sentence: Team leader, we succeeded.

Success means a successful arrest. Yan Ming uses a public phone, so he will be careful about everything.

Bai Shao, Huo Changling has been brought back.

Bai Shao scolded Fang Laibao for not keeping his word and not releasing her, but Fang Laibao said that the case was not over yet and he would release her after it was over. His words made Bai Shao feel a little relieved, but Huo Changling kept scolding Bai Shao for betraying her.

Xiaoguan was stripped of his outer clothes and hung there.

"Play for half an hour first."

Xu Qingyun didn't waste any words, Zheng Jiming grabbed the whip and started whipping.

The people arrested this time were Japanese, and he was the most active in interrogating them.

The people in the interrogation department were already familiar with Xu Qingyun's way of doing things. These Japanese spies were unlucky. No matter whether they were willing to confess or not, they were always beaten for half an hour after being caught.

The half-hour package has become completely famous in the headquarters.

Unless it was an emergency and the Japanese spies needed to confess quickly, they would be even more miserable. They would be pressed directly onto the electric chair and suffer the most painful punishment.

Xiao Guan gritted his teeth and endured the torture, wondering what went wrong.

After being caught, he realized that he was exposed. The other party's methods were professional and the equipment in the torture room was complete. It was obvious that they were from the intelligence department.

The key is whether the people who arrested him were from the Military Intelligence Department or the Party Affairs Investigation Department.

He also didn't expect that the other party would come up and beat him for half an hour without asking any questions.

Half an hour passed quickly, but to Xiaoguan it felt like a century.

Zheng Jiming was extremely brutal in his attack, and he was beaten so hard that he became dazed and fainted twice.

"Little Guan Denan, your companion has confessed. Please tell us what happened."

When the time was up, Xu Qingyun asked slowly. Xiao Guan was startled. Was it his companion who exposed him and led to his arrest?
His companion came to assist him, and the radio was with his companion. If his companion was exposed, the radio would also be discovered by the Chinese.

"My name is not Xiao Guan De Nan, so I don't understand what you are talking about."

Xiao Guan replied with his dying breath that he had just kept shouting out his injustice and begging for mercy like someone who had been tortured before, but it was obvious that his performance was not up to par.

Those who are truly wronged will not only cry out for injustice, but also curse.

He didn't pretend to be feeling aggrieved.

"continue."

Xu Qingyun didn't waste time talking to him and continued to torture him in another way. He didn't catch Xiao Guan De'nan's companion, so he was just deliberately deceiving him.

This is an interrogation technique.

Regardless of whether he believes it or not, he will always associate it with the fact that his companion's confession will greatly undermine his confidence and destroy his faith at the critical moment, forcing him to confess.

"Oh."

Half an hour later, just after the torture instruments were changed, Xiaoguan suddenly leaned back. Zheng Jiming recovered his strength and, without any moral ethics, kicked him.

If this kick was delivered anywhere else, it wouldn't be as painful as a whip.

But the kick hit him at his most vulnerable spot.

Xiao Guan was crying in pain. Zheng Jiming's kick was so strong that Xu Qingyun was worried that he might be torn to pieces.

"The electric chair."

Conventional torture instruments didn’t work, so Xu Qingyun used the electric chair instead.

Xiaoguan’s body can’t withstand the punishment for too long now. Even if it’s the electric chair, it can only last for five minutes at most.

If he did not confess within five minutes, the interrogation would be stopped and Xu Qingyun would try to find his companion on his own.

"I said."

Before the current was turned on, Xiaoguan suddenly spoke.

The heart-wrenching pain just now completely shattered all his resistance. He was very clear about the torturers' methods.

If he doesn't tell me this time, even if he can get away with it, he will be tortured again next time.

Until he confessed.

Moreover, the other party will take precautions and will not let him die, unless he holds on with strong faith or goes crazy.

He is not Kawada, who is now dragged here to sit on the electric chair once a week.

But he just wouldn't admit it.

However, Kawada's mental state is very poor, and the interval between each execution will have to be increased in the future, otherwise he will not be able to hold on.

"Name, position, code name."

Xu Qingyun asked immediately. He now had four cases on hand, and the observer who was responsible to Jason discovered the case the earliest.

Xiaoguan was the last to arrive and was caught as soon as his presence was discovered.

"I'm Xiao Guan Denan, a lieutenant agent of the Shanghai Special High Section. I used to work in an office, but was sent by my teacher, Section Chief Kawashima, to carry out a subversion mission..."

Xiaoguan confessed that Xu Qingyun's initial psychological suggestion worked.

His companions confessed, but he refused, which was simply a waste of suffering. The Chinese obviously knew his exact identity and there was no way they would let him go.

His mission this time was to persuade Shi Qingbin to defect. Kawashima agreed to the offer and would send someone to deliver gold bars.

He had to discuss future contact methods with Shi Qingbin, and get rid of Huo Changling after the matter was accomplished.

Huo Changling was reluctant to let them meet alone, fearing that it would be disadvantageous to herself.

He couldn't take action against Huo Changling before officially instigating her to defect.

Once Shi Qingbin knew that he had killed Huo Changling, he would most likely reject them, or even report them and have him arrested.

The Party Affairs Investigation Office was not responsible for investigating Japanese spies, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t arrest people.

"What's your radio operator's name and where is he now?"

Xu Qingyun suddenly asked, Xiaoguan looked up abruptly. He didn't say much about his companions, and Xu Qingyun's question made him immediately understand that his companions had not been caught.
