The Spy

Chapter 170 Codename Mountain Ghost
Someone spoke.

Hou Yigong immediately asked him about everything, and the people around him kept taking notes. The recorder was always on, recording every word he said.

"My name is Naoto Yoshioka, I am affiliated with the Shanghai Special High Section, and I am currently the liaison officer for Naka Toshimichi..."

Zhong Jundao is Xie Shengnan’s real name. Yoshioka’s explanation is very important, so Hou Yigong immediately asked someone to tell Miao Feng.

Xie Shengnan has not confessed until now and has never acknowledged his identity.

"Five years ago, Zhong Jundao used the alias Xie Shengnan to participate in a one-year telecommunications training course. Later, he was brought into the Military Intelligence Department. We eliminated the original Xie Shengnan and sent his family to Tianjin to prevent them from telling anyone about Xie Shengnan."

The fact that Xie Shengnan's family was able to succeed in business and change their lives was entirely controlled by the Japanese.

Now the Japanese are still controlling them secretly.

Another thing is that they didn't know that it was the Japanese who killed Xie Shengnan. They thought it was an accident. Their son died, and there was someone taking care of them, but they just wanted to use their son's identity, so they finally agreed.

If they knew that their son had died at the hands of these people, I'm afraid the whole family would have died.

Keeping them also makes Xie Shengnan's identity more solid.

Yoshioka explained that Xie Shengnan's code name was Shan Gui and he had been dormant and had not been activated before.

The liaison officer Yoshioka was also dormant. Before receiving the order to be activated, he and Xie Shengnan had never contacted or met each other, ensuring the safety of the two of them.

After the incident with the Hangzhou Special High Section, the Shanghai Special High Section activated them. During this period, Xie Shengnan sent back a lot of useful information.

Most of them were related to Xu Qingyun, and some of them were intelligence he usually collected and secretly memorized, which were sent to the Shanghai Special High Section after being activated.

The information was passed back by Yoshioka, and he knew everything.

"Mountain Ghost, do you think that if you don't tell us, we won't know your true identity?"

In another interrogation room, Miao Feng snorted coldly. The successful interrogation of Hou Yigong would be extremely beneficial to them. Usually, if they arrested two people at a time, if one of them confessed, the other one would not be able to hold on.

Because his persistence is meaningless.

"Now that you know, there's no need to ask again."

Xie Shengnan took a breath and spat out a mouthful of bright red saliva while speaking.

"Give him some water."

Xu Qingyun immediately said that whether Xie Shengnan would confess or not would depend on the next interrogation. Judging from his expression, there was some hope.

"I'll let you speak."

Miao Feng slammed the table again. He was very unhappy. Hou Yigong had successfully interrogated Xie Shengnan, but he was personally interrogating him, but Xie Shengnan was still resisting.

"Okay, I'll say ..."

After a while, Xie Shengnan nodded and said that he was indeed a Japanese agent, his real name was Zhong Jundao and his code name was Shan Gui.

He confessed a lot of things, including how to investigate, arrange Xin Shaowu as a safety line, etc.

After hearing what he said, Miao Feng looked at Xu Qingyun and felt a chill down his spine.

There was indeed something wrong with Xin Shaowu's case. If he had arrested Xin Shaowu first without caring about anything, Xie Shengnan and his liaison would have run away long ago.

The escape of the traitor can prevent further leaks in the future, but it is also a slap in the face of Virgo.

Everyone knows that Virgos are very concerned about their reputation. If he doesn't do well and embarrasses Virgo, the result will be disastrous.

Xie Shengnan did confess a lot, Miao Feng was very happy, and asked someone to record it all.

However, Xu Qingyun noticed something was wrong.

Xie Shengnan's confession was too calm, which was totally unlike the normal reaction of a surrendering person.

Not long after, Xie Shengnan confessed everything.

Including how he found out the internal situation of the Military Intelligence Department, how he targeted Xu Qingyun, provided intelligence to the Shanghai Special High Section, and asked them to carry out the assassination, etc.

"Put it down."

After Xie Shengnan confessed everything, Miao Feng asked him to sign and sealed his statement, then happily gave up his confession.

Xie Shengnan has confessed, but their case is not over yet.

Next, we need to compare Yoshioka’s confession to see if there are any discrepancies between what the two said, or if either of them is hiding something.

Compared to the torture chamber, the smell here is not very pleasant.

After returning to the office, Miao Feng pulled Xu Qingyun and Hou Yigong together to compare their testimonies.

The confessions matched, including how many times they sent intelligence, how many contacts they had, and when.

Xie Shengnan's explanation was more complete than Yoshioka's, which was normal.

Yoshioka was just a liaison officer. He wouldn't ask too many questions. Xie Shengnan would give him the intelligence, and then he would send it to Shanghai.

Their radio and code books were also seized.

"Okay, I'll go report it now, you wait for me."

After checking that everything was correct, Miao Feng stood up immediately without thinking too much. He went to see Xu Zhanjie first. Although he was in charge of the case, Xu Zhanjie was the section chief after all.

The case was done, and he needed to come say hello.

Xu Zhanjie would not snatch the credit from him. What's more, after he did it, Xu Zhanjie himself would have made a contribution, and it was the credit of their intelligence department.

Xu Zhanjie did not go to report with Miao Feng. Miao Feng had been worried about this matter after working so hard for so long. Since there was some gain, he let him go by himself.

"Xie Shengnan? Who reviewed him?"

When the director saw the confession, he was slightly startled, then he said angrily.

The traitor in the department was finally found, but he didn't expect that he was not instigated by someone else, but an impostor by the Japanese.

Miao Feng's guess was correct, and this result was even more difficult for Chu Zuo to accept.

He thought that his military intelligence department had strict selection rules, but how could a Japanese sneak in and keep paying him for so long?

"Director, Xie Shengnan was previously a student of Deputy Section Chief Cao."

Miao Feng lowered his head and said that he and Cao Dingcheng had an average relationship, so there was no need to speak for him. However, the two of them had no grudges, so it was enough to just stop there. "Cao Dingcheng?"

The director was slightly startled, with a hint of hesitation on his face.

Cao Dingcheng is extraordinary, not because of his special background, but because of his high technical level. The director even plans to have him compile more complex and effective code books in the future.

Looking down, Chuzuo's face showed anger again, but it quickly disappeared.

Cao Dingcheng leaked a lot of information, but fortunately he did not leak their codes, otherwise their military would have no secrets at all in front of the Japanese.

"Miao Feng, go check if there is any problem with Cao Dingcheng. Investigate secretly and don't let anyone know. Report the results to me."

After a while, the director said softly that whether Cao Dingcheng could still be used depended on his situation.

If he is useful, he will keep him. After all, talents are rare, and it is not easy to find another person of such high level as Cao Dingcheng.

The reason why Cao Dingcheng can become a deputy section chief is because of his outstanding abilities.

If it really doesn't work, try to take drastic measures.

Virgos are always very decisive and will never hold on when it’s time to give up.

"Yes, Virgo."

Miao Feng took the order and left. The traitor case was different from other cases. He had to report first and then write a closing report.

This case closing report will not be made public. After all, there is a traitor in the department, and it is not a glorious thing that the Japanese have infiltrated.

Xu Qingyun returned to the office and stood in front of the window for a while.

There was something strange about Xie Shengnan's confession. It was very likely that he was hiding something, just like Kawada.

Xu Qingyun knew very well how stubborn He Tian was. All kinds of punishments could not make him bow his head. Later, Xu Qingyun found out the things he had concealed through other channels.

It is easy to inquire about Hetian, but it is not so easy to inquire about Xie Shengnan.

He is in the headquarters. If there are people in the headquarters who have been instigated by him, they must be hiding deeper than him.

If it hadn't been activated, as it had been before, it would have been much harder to find the hidden person.

However, once it is done, there will definitely be traces left. Xu Qingyun will investigate slowly and there is no need to rush.

There is a crucial case for him right now.

The Japanese spies who came to assassinate him.

This group of people is larger in number, with fourteen known to be involved so far. They are only targeting two of them, and the whereabouts of the other twelve operatives are unknown.

They must be lured out.

Ma Zhongchun has been captured by them and can be used, as he happens to have these people from Hangzhou in his hands.

In order to avoid being discovered by traitors, they have not entered the headquarters gate since arriving in Nanjing.

The people at headquarters had no idea they existed.

"Yan Ming, come back for a while."

After thinking for a while, Xu Qingyun picked up the phone, called the surveillance point, and asked Yan Ming to come back first.

"Team leader."

Yan Ming ran back quickly and Xu Qingyun asked him to sit down.

"Tomorrow I will have Team Leader Fang take our new recruits to the department. Since Intelligence Group 4 is always short of people, I will let them come first. I will personally train them and help them with their internship."

"Team leader, are you going to use it to lure out those twelve Japanese agents?"

Yan Ming was very smart. He understood what was going on as soon as Xu Qingyun finished speaking.

"Yes."

Xu Qingyun smiled and nodded, and Yan Ming indeed understood his intention.

"Don't worry, team leader. I will make arrangements and have Ma Zhongchun send out the intelligence. When their people show up, we will arrest them immediately."

Sure enough, Yan Ming did understand what Xu Qingyun meant.

Ma Zhongchun is in the training department, and Xu Qingyun has to give special training to the newcomers, so he can't avoid them.

Whether it is equipment or venue, you need to ask the training department for it.

Ma Zhongchun knew this information. As long as he told the Japanese, they would most likely be fooled. It was not easy to find accurate information that the team leader was out. Even if Team Leader Xu Qingyun had a lot of people, they would still take action.

Unfortunately, they didn't have the chance to act.

Yan Ming had been keeping an eye on them for a long time. As long as they made contact and the twelve people showed up, the people from the Operations Department would strike hard.

They are all operatives, we’ll see who is more powerful then.

If they don't meet in person but contact each other through the radio, then we will set up a dragnet where they go and wait for them to take the bait.

In short, this time we must lure them out and catch them all in one fell swoop.

"Okay, let's go."

Xu Qingyun smiled and nodded. This time, the Japanese sent fourteen agents just to get rid of him.

Last time there were six, this time there are fourteen, so twenty have come so far.

He wanted to see how many agents the Shanghai Special High Section had that could be sent in this way. No matter how many they sent, Xu Qingyun would accept them all.

The next day, Fang Laibao brought his people back to the Intelligence Department, and Intelligence Group 4 suddenly became lively.

Intelligence Group 4, which initially consisted of only three people, is finally full.

Together with Zheng Jiming's bodyguards, the number of people in Intelligence Group 4 is indeed sufficient.

When there is no one around, Intelligence Group 4 can always make achievements. Now that there are enough people, many people are looking forward to their future performance.
