Cicada Moving

Chapter 80 Search

 The reason why Ji Jiafu's home was searched first was because this guy had a radio, which was an important target of the search. Because he was afraid of being discovered by his neighbors, Zuo Chong and his men waited until midnight before starting the operation.

The surrounding lights were all turned off, and Wenchang Lane was completely dark. Not even a ghost was seen, let alone a human being. Wu Chunyang took the lead, and the others followed him in formation without making a sound, only the barking of dogs in the distance. echoed in the alley.

At the door, Wu Chunyang opened the courtyard door with the key on Ji Jiafu's body, but he did not go in immediately. Instead, he looked carefully with a flashlight and waved after making sure there were no traps.

Zuo Zhong was very satisfied with this. Wu Chunyang's mobility was not as strong as Gui Youguang's, but his mind was delicate and he was a good organizer. If Gui Youguang had just kicked in the door and rushed in.

Wu Chunyang opened all the doors in the yard, pointed at the flashlight, and signaled everyone not to turn on the lights in the house. This was too conspicuous. If it attracted curious people, it would mean that the search was not conducted secretly.

Zuo Zhong said nothing, turned on the flashlight to illuminate the ground, and walked into the main hall of Ji Jiafu's house. As soon as he entered, he saw the electric stove on the table. This guy was really thoughtful, but it was a pity that he met him.

There was only a set of tables, chairs and a few Chinese paintings in the room, which was in line with the characteristics of being a solitary person in the information. It seemed that he was not planning to invite anyone here. Maybe the other party sent the telegram here. Zuo Zhong touched the table. A few scratches.

The main hall has a clear view. Turn left to the room on the left. When you enter, you find that it is the study room. It is much more crowded than the main hall. There are several large bookshelves with books, a piled desk, and even an unfinished review. .

Zuo Zhong picked up the comment and looked at it. It turned out to be a reflection on the robbery of the Liuguo Hotel. In the comment, Ji Jiafu expressed his agreement with the masked man's actions and believed that this was the retribution of imperialism. At the same time, he praised the Northeast Republican Army. Fan, just like how much he hates the Japanese.

Putting down the comments, Zuo Zhong pulled out the books from the bookshelf. From the traces on them, it can be seen that Ji Jiafu is really looking at them, and there are even his comments. Every line of the words is the tone of a patriotic writer who loves the country and cares about real-time.

This Wang Ba Dan is really hidden to the core. If he hadn't found a flaw in his power consumption, Zuo Zhong couldn't imagine how long he would have been hiding, and maybe he would have even entered the circle of senior officials.

This is not Zuo Zhong's random imagination. Ji Jiafu's drawer is filled with letters from readers from all walks of life. Judging by the tone, some people have received replies from Ji Jiafu, and these people are government officials, gentry and celebrities.

 When the conflict between China and Japan intensifies in a few years, it is very possible that writers like Ji Jiafu will become someone's think tank assistant. Who would believe that this person is a Japanese spy?

After walking around the study room, Zuo Zhong walked into Ji Jiafu's bedroom. There was only a bed, a table, a chair and a cabinet. The clothes and quilts were neatly packed, giving people a very refreshing feeling. You can take a look at it. No more description.

Zuo Zhong stomped his feet and felt the ground. It was solid bricks and stones. After looking around, it didn't look like there were hidden grates. So he turned back to the yard and looked at the people who were searching without saying anything.

There are some common flowers planted in the yard. It can be seen that Ji Jiafu has taken good care of them. The flowers and plants are lush and beautiful. There is also a short ladder placed against the courtyard wall, which should be used for daily maintenance.

In addition, there is a large water tank in the yard. Gui Youguangzheng lifted the water tank with one hand, and several agents stretched their heads and looked at the ground.

Zuo Zhong shouted to them: "Put it down. The radio will not be hidden in a place like this. What the radio fears most is moisture. In addition to being concealed, the radio needs to be convenient. Otherwise, it will be difficult to deploy quickly in the event of an emergency."

Speaking of which, Zuo Zhong looked at the yard. Would Ji Jiafu think in the opposite direction? Of course, it didn't mean hiding the radio near the water tank, but setting up a hidden compartment outdoors, such as in the yard?

He closed his eyes and imagined that Ji Jiafu had received an urgent message and needed to report it immediately. He came back from outside, opened the courtyard door, quickly took out the radio, and sent the message in the courtyard or main hall. Wouldn't this be more logical?

Zuo Zhong walked to the door of the courtyard, touched the brick walls and floor and shook his head. There were no traces of hidden grates, and the location was too conspicuous. He raised his head and looked at the porch above his head, and then looked back at the ladder in the yard. , with a smile on his face.

“Use that ladder to look above the porch and pay attention to traps. This guy Ji Jiafu is different from the previous spies. He is a guy who understands people’s hearts very well. You must be careful.” Zuo Chong called Wu Chunyang in a low voice.

Wu Chunyang nodded, took a ladder and leaned on the porch, jumped up a few steps, then turned on the flashlight to investigate carefully, and after a long time, he walked down the ladder carrying a box.

“Section Chief, look, radio station, this guy also set up a hair trap with a German-made grenade on it, which is really dangerous.” Wu Chunyang was sweating profusely. There was absolutely no one alive within a five-meter radius when the grenade exploded.

Zuo Zhong looked calm: "Do you have to use a special angle to take down the radio? If you pull the radio off at will, it will explode. Ji Jiafu is ready to die together."

Wu Chunyang looked admiring: "Chief, you guessed it right again. This guy is really cunning. If you hadn't been careful, we would have been in danger today. Is there a trap in this radio package?" Youguang took a few steps back. Zuo Zhong looked at him speechlessly. The Japanese were not fools. They would set up traps in the radio bag. Not only would it be easy to damage the radio, but it would also be inconvenient to take it out quickly.

Zuo Zhong knelt down and opened the radio bag regardless of Wu Chunyang's dissuasion. Inside was a small radio, various tube parts, and a code book. Zuo Zhong took out the radio and observed it carefully, and found that the nameplate on it was in Japanese, but Not long ago, Nagano Soichi's radio station was made in the United States.

Zo Zhong still remembers the Telecommunications Department's solemn guarantee that no country can manufacture this kind of radio except the Americans and Germans, but what he has on hand is that the Japanese can already manufacture such sophisticated radios!

It is necessary to recommend that Dai Chunfeng establishes its own telecommunications research institution. Although Zuo Zhong told Dai Chunfeng that ideas are more important than technology, why not have good techniques, don't be fools.

Zuo Zhong took the radio and left. Before leaving, he ordered: "Check the house carefully again. Chunyang, please leave a few people here to stay here and catch them one by one!"

Back at the Secret Service, Zuo Zhong just slept in the office until He Yijun called him to get up for breakfast. He felt that Dai Chunfeng should pay him overtime wages. He really regarded the place as his home now.

After dinner, Zuo Zhong called over to his subordinates: "We will interrogate Ji Jiafu directly later. Lao Gu, you and I will preside over the interrogation. Song Minghao will record it, and you two, Gui Youguang and Wu Chunyang, will be executed."

A group of people went to the detention center to pick up Ji Jiafu. Only then did Zuo Zhong realize that this guy was sleeping well and eating well. He was even sleeping in his cage when he was picked up.

This is not because he is confident, but because he is prepared to die. Zuo Zhong's face is a little ugly. He feels that this interrogation may not go smoothly, but there are not many Japanese like Nagano Soichi and Hase Ryosuke. Let's electrocute him.

Zuo Zhong was sitting in the middle of the interrogation room, with Song Minghao and Gu Qi on both sides. The two of them were laughing out loud now. They each caught a spy. If there was another breakthrough in the interrogation, promotion to the military rank should not be a problem.

Kawada Yasushi was a little surprised when he looked at Zuo Shige across from him. He thought that this student was an ordinary intelligence officer, but he didn't expect that he was actually a cadre, because Zuo Shige was sitting among the interrogators. He really regretted it and should have tried his best to kill this guy.

Zuo Zhong smiled at him: "Do you regret not killing me? To tell you the truth, I was the one who caught those losers in the Special Higher Education Course. If you really want to kill me, you will have done a great service."

Kawada Taishi suddenly realized that this is the Secret Service. He heard that this is China’s ace intelligence agency and the secret agents inside are very powerful. Today it seems to be really good and they can be considered as evenly matched opponents.

He was a little curious: "How did you discover me? My subordinates should have been arrested. I knew those stupid guys would implicate me. I really shouldn't have accepted this task."

After being arrested, Taishi Kawada kept recalling the events of the past few days, from population registration to the power outage. He believed that there was no flaw. The only explanation was that something happened to his downline.

Zuo Zhong chuckled: "Chunyang, come in, see if our Mr. Ji can recognize you, and tell him by the way, he is not as smart as you think."

Hearing this, Kawada Taishi raised his head and looked at Wu Chunyang who walked in, and then he thought for a moment. Isn't this the patrolman of the Electricity Bureau? Could it be that he discovered him? This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible.

He had spoken in front of the other party, but he was very confident in his Chinese. It was impossible for the other party to hear any problems. Moreover, when he saw the other party these days, he did not see anything wrong with the other party. This young Chinese must be a liar. Own.

It is ridiculous to think that Kawada Taishi has regained his composure and wants to use this incident to damage his self-confidence. He will not be fooled again. Let's see what other tricks you have.

Zuo Zhong didn't know that he had already thought so much, but seeing the other person's expression, he knew that he didn't believe it. To deal with such a self-proclaimed smart guy, he must completely destroy his pride.

So Zuo Zhong asked a seemingly silly question: "Do you know that the battery of the radio station needs to be charged?"

"Of course I know, don't your Chinese batteries need to be charged?" Kawada Taishi was a little disdainful, and then asked suspiciously: "Did you confirm me by checking the power consumption? That's impossible, I"

Zuo Zhong took a puff of cigarette and interrupted him: "You don't know the difference between a dead battery and an unused battery? Then you really let me down, smart Mr. Ji Jiafu."
