The Spy

Chapter 332: You want to see people in life, you want to see corpses in death

Suzuki usually performs well, but sometimes he just does stupid things.

He is very stubborn.

Ishida never thought that Suzuki could be as smart as himself, but he was very disappointed that Suzuki still didn't know what was going on in such an obvious situation.

"Hay."

Suzuki finally reacted and ran out to catch the man.

"Gone. When did you leave?"

When Suzuki arrived at the Japanese man's residence, he received bad news: the man had already left with his luggage.

The Japanese man completed his mission and was no longer of much use to Zhao San.

He is not very old, but he is a Japanese. Maybe he can be useful in the future. It doesn't cost much to keep him, so Zhao San temporarily withdrew him and sent him to Taguchi.

"Your Excellency, I left yesterday."

The person being questioned was also a Japanese, but the Japanese were also divided into different classes. Suzuki was a lieutenant colonel and his status was much higher than the ordinary people in front of him.

"Damn it."

Suzuki cursed harshly and went back to report immediately.

This matter had troubled him for the whole day, and when he returned to the Special High Section, it was gradually getting dark.

"Continue to interrogate Gao Mu."

Ishida's face was gloomy. His failure to find anyone further confirmed his guess that the Japanese who exchanged money with Takagi was most likely instigated by Xu Qingyun long ago.

How could there be such scum in the empire?
"Section Chief, please kill me. I admit that I did something wrong."

When Takagi was taken to the interrogation room, he was trembling all over. He had been tortured badly in the morning and thought that Ishida was going to continue to torture him.

Not to mention that Ishida guessed the truth, even if he didn't, Takagi's condition was not suitable for further torture, otherwise he would probably die on the spot.

"Don't worry, I won't torture you. I'll just ask you a few questions. Please answer honestly."

Ishida shook his head and asked again, this time according to what Takagi had originally said, and he wrote down every step.

After asking Takagi, Ishida continued to ask Takagi's wife.

Takagi's wife was also arrested. She kept crying after arriving at the Special Higher Police. She thought that her husband had been discovered taking money from the Special Higher Police, and she didn't realize that there would be more serious consequences.

Ishita asked her the most detailed questions.

She was the first person to come into contact with Zhao San, and she was the trigger.

Takagi's wife did not dare to lie and told everything honestly, including how she met Zhao San and why she exchanged Japanese yen with Zhao San.

"Suzuki, go to the concession and check if anyone is buying a large amount of Japanese yen."

After the questioning, Ishida gave another order, saying that Takagi's wife did not seem to be lying, and her confession matched that of Takagi.

If they are telling the truth, this is a frame-up.

When he thought of this, he became furious. He shouldn't have used torture directly. However, he was sure that Takagi was the traitor at that time. Since Takagi didn't admit it, it was impossible to persuade him with kind words.

If Takagi's confession had not been inconsistent in many places, allowing him to discover doubts, Takagi would probably have been wrongly killed.

Fortunately, he discovered it in advance, so at least Xu Qingyun did not succeed. This was the greatest comfort in his heart.

"Yes, Chief."

Suzuki has completely understood what is going on. Takagi was actually framed, and he really couldn't see it.

The section chief was really capable and the Chinese conspiracy failed, otherwise Takagi's death would have been too unjust and the real traitor would have continued to hide.

But what should Takagi do?

After using such severe torture, it is impossible for Gao Mu to not have some thoughts in his mind. If he is released, will he really defect to the Chinese in the future?
Suzuki was going to investigate a case and didn't think too much about it, but Ishida thought a lot.

Ishida is proud, but also selfish.

After torturing Takagi, it would be impossible for Takagi to be on the same side with him again, even if he found out the truth and cleared Takagi's name.

But Takagi is not a traitor, so he cannot be executed directly.

However, it is a fact that Takagi stole the money of the Special Higher Police, so he can be sent to the headquarters for punishment. The chief section chief will understand what he means. Besides, what Takagi did violated the chief section chief's taboos, so even if he does not die, he will be locked up for a long time when he arrives at the headquarters.

Takagi will not be much of a threat to him in the future.

Having made the decision, Ishida prepared to send a telegram to Tsuchihara to report the matter in detail.

At the Special High Police Headquarters, Tsuchihara soon received Ishida's telegram.

The Chinese deliberately framed and harmed people from the Special Higher Police, but Ishida discovered that the confession was wrong and conducted a timely verification and investigation, and ultimately did not let Xu Qingyun get his wish.

For the first time, Ishida admitted to Tsuchihara that he had underestimated Xu Qingyun and that Xu Qingyun was more powerful than he thought.

But he was not discouraged, nor was he afraid. No matter how strong Xu Qingyun was, he would be the final winner.

The following is the treatment of Takagi.

Although Takagi was framed, it is a fact that he stole money from the Special Higher Police. Ishida asked the headquarters to deal with it and he would send Takagi's family back to Japan.

Tsuchihara saw through Ishida's little thoughts at a glance.

What's the point of sending him back home? Takagi's wife and children will definitely not survive. Ishida has used such severe punishment on Takagi, and he will not leave these hidden dangers if he wants to deal with him again.

But he did not object, instead he was very pleased.

As long as Ishida takes Xu Qingyun seriously, he believes in Ishida's ability and will definitely be able to defeat Xu Qingyun.

As for Takagi, he got what he deserved, and Ishida's timely discovery of the truth already satisfied him.

If anyone dares to take money that he shouldn't have, no matter what the reason, Gao Mu will die.

Tsuchihara wrote the telegram himself and Takagi immediately sent it back to the headquarters, instructing them to be cautious in treating Xu Qingyun in the future and to eliminate this imperial executioner as soon as possible.

Too many of them died at the hands of Xu Qingyun.

When he received the call back, Ishida also smiled. The chief section chief saw his intention and helped him.

What's going on with Takagi?
It is not easy for him to remain conscious under severe punishment. If he is escorted away at this time, there will be no other result but that he will die on the way.

Takagi is a criminal, and if he is escorted, he will not receive any special treatment.

Let Suzuki hint to the person being escorted that he would be doomed if he couldn't leave Shanghai.

The next morning, Suzuki quickly found out the results.

No one in Shanghai accepts large amounts of Japanese yen.

Shanghai is an international city with many currencies. The most popular currencies are British pounds and US dollars, followed by francs and even Russian currency.

The Japanese yen is only used in Japanese-occupied areas, and all legal tender is stronger than it.

The Japanese Concession was not as good as the French Concession and the International Settlement. It could be said that it was far inferior. In addition, the Japanese Concession was xenophobic and few other people came here, so the Japanese yen was naturally not so popular.

This result confirms that Takagi was framed.

Ishida quickly reported the results of the handling. Takagi had committed a serious mistake and was handed over to the headquarters for handling. Ishida did not say what the specific mistake was.

He fell into Xu Qingyun's trap and it would be shameful to tell anyone about it.

Soon Xu Qingyun received information from Japan's Special High Police.

It’s not difficult to find out about this kind of public treatment.

That night, the news that the Special High Police had been tricked by the Shanghai Station spread throughout the concession, and the next day it spread to the Japanese concession, and Ishida soon found out.

"Damn it, damn it."

In the office, Ishida slammed the table in anger. The news must have been released by Xu Qingyun to embarrass him on purpose.

At the same time, it can also undermine his prestige.

Ishida had no choice but to ask Suzuki to expose Takagi's crimes. Takagi was not a traitor. The section chief noticed the frame-up at the first time. Takagi stole 9,000 yen from the logistics team, which was his real crime.

It's a pity that he explained it a little late. The people in the Special High Police are not fools.

After Gao Mu was caught, he was beaten so badly, just because he stole money?

The section chief had been looking for a traitor during this period. He thought Takagi was the traitor and everyone would be safe once the traitor was found. However, it turned out that the Chinese deliberately framed him.

Today it was Takagi who was framed, will it be them tomorrow?
All the veteran members of the Special High Police are worried about their safety, especially Miyagi, who is more afraid than anyone else.

He had just received a lot of money from Chinese people a few days ago. Some Chinese people asked him to do something and he agreed. Now he thinks about it, could it be that the Shanghai station set him up on purpose?

He guessed correctly that the person who gave him the money was Zhao San.

Miyagi was in the telecommunications group, so Zhao San found a middleman and asked Miyagi to help out a little.

The problem is not a big deal, it just requires an accessory that is hard to buy.

The price offered by the Chinese was very high, and Miyagi was finally tempted. He dismantled one of their parts, reported it as damaged, and gave it to the Chinese.

If the section chief knew about this, he would be in serious trouble if not dead.

"Miyagi, what's wrong with you?"

It was time to get off work, and a colleague saw that Miyagi looked unhappy and asked kindly.

"It's okay. I just feel a little uncomfortable."

Miyagi hurriedly shook his head, quickly stood up and left. He wanted to find out the identity of the Chinese people who were looking for him and see if there was any chance to return the money and get the things back.

He doesn't want to be the second Takagi.

Noticed that he looked strange and his colleague seemed to be thinking about something.

Soon he arrived at the team leader's office. Fortunately, the team leader had not left yet.

The telecommunications team leader Kaga is the confidant brought by the section chief. He reported his findings to the team leader. Miyagi is usually in good health and has never been heard of having any illness. After receiving the news today that Takagi was framed, Miyagi's reaction was not right the whole day.

"I understand, you go back first."

Communications team leader Kaga said softly, and as soon as the team members left, he immediately went to see Suzuki.

He has a good relationship with Suzuki.

"Miyagi?"

Suzuki knew this person. He had questioned all the people in the Special High Police, but he had not noticed anything unusual about Miyagi before.

"The section chief has been in a bad mood recently. I didn't report it to him. Please check it out first. If it is really him, it will be good news for us."

Kaga said softly, and Suzuki nodded slightly. The traitor was making them restless. If they didn't find out the traitor, how could they target Xu Qingyun in the future?

There is still a possibility that future actions will be leaked. If the traitor is not found, everyone will be in a panic and unable to do their work seriously.

"Okay, thank you, I will investigate carefully."

Suzuki nodded. It was good to have a suspected target. It was not the end of the get off work for the intelligence team. He immediately investigated Miyagi.

Miyagi was indeed a little abnormal today, more like scared.

Suzuki soon found out that after get off work, Miyagi did not go home, but left the Japanese Concession.

No one knew where he went.

"Check the train station, the dock, all the places where people leave to see if he has been there."

"You guys ask along the way and find out where he went."

Suzuki immediately gave orders. He was worried that Miyagi might flee for fear of punishment, so he sent people to the train station and other places to investigate.

Miyagi said he wasn't feeling well, why did he run out?

There was a hospital in the Japanese Concession, and the doctors there were very skilled. When the Japanese got sick they never went to other hospitals, only to their own.

Besides, Miyagi was an officer, so he didn't have to pay for medical treatment in the Japanese Concession.

Miyagi is a major suspect.

"Someone from the telecommunications team?"

After receiving the report from Suzuki, Ishida's eyebrows jumped. At first, he suspected that the traitor was in the telecommunications group. After failing to find out, he expanded the scope of the investigation to everyone.

There is something wrong with Miyagi, he could indeed be a traitor.

Now we need to find out why he suddenly ran away.

"Find him immediately, alive or dead," Ishida ordered.

"Yes, Chief."

Suzuki stood up and accepted the order, and said again: "Section Chief, do you want to search his house first?"

"can."

Ishida agreed that if there was anything unusual, he could search for it. He would not rashly torture Miyagi this time unless there were unexplainable doubts about him.

"Suzuki."

As soon as Suzuki came out, he found Kaga walking towards him.

"I just checked the situation of the telecommunications team and found that Miyagi reported a radio component damaged two days ago. I just asked my subordinates and found that the component has not yet reached the point of damage, but it is indeed something that is easy to break."

Kaga has followed Ishida for several years, and even though he is not in the intelligence team, he knows what kind of information needs to be communicated in a timely manner.

Tell Suzuki more to make it easier for him to investigate the case.

"Component?"

Suzuki raised his eyebrows. Any parts on the radio were very sensitive, but the Shanghai station would not want these things.

Shanghai Station has its own radio station and they have no shortage of parts.

If Miyagi deliberately reported damage and stole the parts, he must have sold them to someone else. Who would want such a thing?

Red party?

Suzuki had dealt with the Red Party in China and knew their situation best. The situation in China and Japan was similar. In a sense, they and the Fruit Party had common enemies.

The Red Party is very poor, and radio stations are important strategic materials. The Red Party will try to get anything related to radio stations.

Could it be that Gong Cheng is not from the Shanghai Station, and he was instigated by the Red Party?

Whatever the reason, you have to find the person first.

After thanking Kaga, Suzuki personally led people to search Miyagi's house.

No confidential documents were found in his home, but two envelopes of silver dollars were found, one worth fifty yuan, and the two worth a hundred yuan.

The Special High Police are paid in Japanese yen and they usually do not go to Chinese territory.

Where does Miyagi get so much ocean?
Go to the concession to use it?

The dollar was still the currency in circulation in the concession, which was better than the legal tender. Many people liked to receive the dollar and did not like the legal tender.

He has not reported these situations for the time being and will wait until he finds Gongcheng.

Miyagi came back quickly, but his face was full of disappointment.

He didn't find anyone to buy the parts from him today. He would try again tomorrow. When he came back, he would need to get rid of the money in his house first.

One hundred dollars was the money he earned from selling the parts.

The Chinese did not have yen and demanded payment in dollars, which could be easily spent and could be used even in Japan, so he agreed to this deal.

"Miyagi is back."

Suzuki is still in the Special High Police, working overtime and has not gone home.

His men suddenly called, and Suzuki immediately stood up: "Control him and bring him back directly."

Miyagi is a suspect, so let's control him first.

You will know the specific situation by just asking.

Not long after, Miyagi was taken back to the Special Higher Police. When he got off the car, he couldn't even stand and was shaking all over.

The way he looked made it clear that there was definitely a problem.

"Miyagi, tell me your problem honestly."

In the interrogation room, Suzuki asked directly. Miyagi raised his head, which was covered with sweat.
