The Spy

Chapter 85: Prison Cell Probe
After receiving the order, Cui Zhengfeng's heart moved slightly.

The General Affairs Team is not clear about the course of the case, but the Interrogation Team will help. As they are the ones guarding all the prisoners, they may know more.

Letting him notify the interrogation team is an opportunity.

"You guys make the call, I'll go next door to notify them."

Cui Zhengfeng stood up. The interrogation team and the general affairs team were both on the first floor. The two teams were adjacent and the closest to each other.

"Go ahead. The interrogation team is small, so let them finish their work as soon as possible."

The people next to him waved their hands and prepared to distribute the money. The general affairs department is in charge of the money, and the accounts cannot be wrong. Whoever makes a mistake will be in trouble. The head of the general affairs team is someone brought by Wu Shaoshu, not their old leader. If any mistake is found, he will be in trouble.

"Everyone is busy? Why are there only three of you here?"

Cui Zhengfeng came to the interrogation team office. There were eight people in the interrogation team. The team leader Fang Laibao was in a separate office. There were only three of them in the office, which was indeed not many.

"They are in the cell. There are a lot of prisoners recently, so they are very busy."

The prison is currently full of serious criminals, so we cannot be careless. We have also released a group of family members of traitors who did not participate and were unaware of the situation. None of the participants have escaped.

There were many people inside waiting to be shot. If anything happened to any of them, the interrogation team would not be able to take responsibility. Fang Laibao ordered at least four people to take turns guarding the cell every day to avoid accidents.

"You guys are better off, you can make money when you're busy, unlike us, who not only have no money, but also need to be paid."

Cui Zhengfeng laughed, and the three people in the office were stunned and asked anxiously, "Are you giving out money again?"

"That's right. Each of you will get five dollars, and Team Leader Fang will get twenty. I'll go notify the others, you guys go get them first."

Cui Zhengfeng nodded. He took the opportunity to come to the interrogation team to find out the details.

However, when he heard that there were more people in the cell, he changed his mind and did not inquire in the office.

The cell smelled bad and there was no sunlight.

The prisoners inside are very noisy, and one often calls out to the guards. It's easy to get upset if you stay in that kind of environment for a few hours.

When people are upset, they tend to complain.

It is easier to get the information you want from them.

"I'll go right away."

The three people in the office were very enthusiastic about getting the money, and they were even more reluctant to go to the cell before their shift started.

Five dollars is not a lot, but it was a pleasant surprise. Together with the previous rewards, each of them received twenty-five dollars as a reward, which was a considerable total.

Several families improved their food and had a delicious meal of braised pork.

Cui Zhengfeng watched the three people leave quickly, smiled and shook his head, then turned and went to the prison next door.

The prison is in the yard, it is a separate house with very small windows. Since it is a prison cell, don't expect good ventilation and lighting.

As soon as I entered, a foul smell hit my nose.

"Xiao Wang, Brother Liu, the stationmaster has ordered you to receive money again, five dollars each."

Cui Zhengfeng knew the two people guarding the door. Like him, they were old men in the station.

"That's great."

Xiao Wang is young and has not yet started a family. This time, he took advantage of the opportunity to earn money for his meritorious service and saved up a lot of money for a wife. If he could have a few more good things like this, he would be able to get married easily.

"We are on duty. What time will you send it?"

Old Liu's eyebrows jumped. He really wanted to go and collect the money, but he knew that this was an extraordinary period and there were too many people imprisoned inside.

"It's okay, you go first, I'll keep watch for you. We still have a lot of things that haven't been cashed in, and the General Affairs Department doesn't have much money on hand. Don't go too late to get other things." Cui Zhengfeng said with a smile. He was not lying. If the money was not enough, the team leader would give out something else to make up for it.

Such as food, furniture and so on.

"Thank you very much. We will go now."

When Old Liu heard that he might have to receive physical goods, he couldn't sit still. How could physical goods be as good as cash? With cash, couldn't he buy whatever he wanted?
Besides, given the nature of those people in the general affairs department, they will definitely not give you the full amount if you collect physical goods.

Cui Zhengfeng felt a little proud of himself for easily sending the two men away.

His real target is the two inside.

After the two men ran out, Cui Zhengfeng immediately walked inside. After passing through a corridor, there were cells inside. Two people were guarding the door of the corridor and were sitting at the table drinking tea.

It smells even worse here.

"Brother Cui, why are you here?"

Someone inside stood up and asked. The cell was not a place that ordinary people could come to. Usually, apart from them, few other people came in.

Even the intelligence team comes here mostly to pick up people and are generally unwilling to go in to question them. Only Team Leader Xu doesn't mind the smell here and has come in twice.

"You have done a great job this time. The stationmaster wants to give you money. Brother Liu and the others have gone to collect it. I will stand guard for them and then come in to check. You can go collect it when they come back."

Cui Zhengfeng walked to the door and looked inside through the small window of the iron gate. Everywhere he could see was filled with people.

Except for Kawada, everyone else was detained collectively, and more than a dozen traitors were detained together.

There are too many of them, and this is a temporary cell with only six rooms.

Now that the people have not been transferred away, they dare not slack off for a moment.

"Okay, we'll go there in a minute."

The two were very happy. Cui Zhengfeng returned to them and asked casually, "With so many people, are there really so many Japanese agents?"

"Of course, there are eleven real Japanese. See, those two people are Japanese spies."

The interrogation team got to know the people inside and found that they were indeed real Japanese.

Many times they heard each other speaking in Japanese, but unfortunately they couldn't understand.

"Who is so powerful to catch so many?" Cui Zhengfeng asked again.

"Who else could it be? Didn't you read the notice? The new team leader Xu, has only been the team leader for a few days? He was promoted to deputy team leader just because of this great achievement. He will be promoted again sooner or later."

"Team Leader Xu is really amazing. Are the Japanese so stupid? How could they catch so many?"

"The Japanese are not stupid. You don't know how cunning they are. See the one in the innermost? His name is Kawada. He has the highest rank, a major. Even his subordinates have never seen him. He has always been in remote command. Whether he set up a dead mailbox or a mobile one..."

After opening up the conversation, Cui Zhengfeng finally got what he wanted.

The guards were talking about Kawata's experience of being arrested. After the case was closed for the first time, the confidentiality was not so strict. They were in the cell and helped with the interrogation, so they easily found out the details.

The Japanese spies were so cunning, but they were still found by Team Leader Xu, which proves that Team Leader Xu is more powerful than them.

"Is it that exaggerated? Can Team Leader Xu catch someone like this?"

Cui Zhengfeng was really shocked. According to what they said, the Japanese were extremely cunning and had set up multiple lines of defense, so any abnormality could be discovered by them.

There were many arrangements that he couldn't even imagine.

Even though he is so powerful, he was still caught. How did Xu Qingyun do it?
The people in the interrogation team did understand the case better than anyone else. In the specific environment of the cell, he got out what he wanted. Although it was not particularly comprehensive, it was most of it and enough for him to get his job done.
