Cicada Moving

Chapter 785 Decisive Victory (8)

On the night when the British Ambassador to the Republic of China Bai Longdu was attacked, the two directors of the Cryptozoology Institute followed Zuo Zhong into a dark but relatively clean interrogation room. They swallowed quietly while looking at the instruments of torture that could be seen everywhere in the room. .

I have long heard that the Secret Service was cruel and many spies were beaten to death by these killers. This is why they asked for a jury. After all, it is indeed not easy to train a group of skilled cryptography researchers.

If they all die in the interrogation room, what will happen to the deciphering of Japanese secret messages? Shangfeng will not care about other things. Thinking of this, director Wen Yuqing's face turned ugly, and he started chatting with Zuo Zhong without giving up.

“Deputy Director Zuo, there are too many people to ask more questions just now. What evidence has your office found to prove that the research team members were involved in the leak case? Please explain it carefully. I think there must be a misunderstanding here.

 Chen Shi, Huo Xingyao and others have always worked conscientiously and have never made any mistakes. The top-secret information they handle has never been leaked. If there are spies among them, why they have not been exposed before. I don’t understand this. "

“Yes, Colonel Zuo, now the Shanghai War is imminent, and there are many messages waiting to be deciphered. You should know the importance of deciphering. If there is no conclusive evidence, once it is delayed, it will definitely affect our normal work.”

Wang Weiqing, the deputy director of the Interpretation and Interpretation Institute, also helped. As the saying goes, the **** determines the head. It is reasonable for them to say such things based on their positions. After all, no officer wants to see a mole appear under his command.

Faced with the doubt, Zuo Zhong did not give a direct answer, but laughed: "The evidence will definitely be seen by the two of you, but not now, let's go to trial first. Let's start with the dedicated team leader Chen Shi. start.

However, I would like to remind Director Wen and Deputy Director Wang that you had better not interrupt during the interrogation, otherwise you will inevitably be suspected of colluding with each other. Even if I trust you two, I will have to keep you here out of duty. "

After finishing speaking, he nodded to Shen Dongxin who was standing at the door and motioned for him to bring them here. Then he left Wen Yuqing and Wang Weiqing aside, opened the file on his own, and discussed the specific plan of the interrogation with Gu Qi in a low voice.

A few minutes later,

 There was a sound of footsteps in the corridor.

As the iron door creaked open, Chen Shi walked in slowly wearing the equipment. Because the shackles were too heavy, he staggered and almost fell when he entered, but he still kept shouting.

"Let me go, what do you want from the Secret Service? Don't think I'm a lonely ghost who can be bullied. I'm going to accuse you guys to Director Chen, so that you can't live without food. Director, please help me." ah."

Seeing Wen and Wang sitting there, Chen Shi rushed over as if he had seen a savior, grabbing the table in front of each other and begging hard. However, the two of them had just been warned by Zuo Zhong, and they opened their mouths and quickly closed them after hearing this. superior.

With no way to call for help, Chen Shi had a desperate look on his face until he was forcibly dragged away and fixed on an interrogation chair by several burly agents. Looking at the burning charcoal stove in the room, the man's face looked nervous and his legs were shaking unconsciously.

Zuo Zhong looked at him with a smile, waited until everyone calmed down, and coughed lightly: "Mr. Chen, you should know who we are, where you are, and what you will face next.

 We are all professionals, so don’t waste time. You should honestly explain your true identity and mission, so as not to suffer in vain. Don’t expect your boss to save you. I have the final say here! "

 “Left deputy…”

"kindness?"

When Wen Yuqing heard Zuo Zhong's threat, he couldn't sit still and wanted to speak out to stop him, but he was interrupted just as he opened his mouth. The agents with evil expressions came over and at the same time inadvertently touched the gun at his waist. .

People had to lower their heads under the eaves, so Wen Yuqing had no choice but to stop talking and looked helplessly at his subordinates, preparing to hear how they would answer the Secret Service's questions. He was anxious in his heart, fearing that something might really go wrong.

Chen Shi became very excited when he saw this scene: "I don't understand what you said. My task is to study the Japanese messages. I have no other identity. Director Chen of the Central Audit Bureau can testify for me."

I don’t understand. The enemy is about to attack Shanghai and Jinling. Why are you people still engaging in frame-ups? If you have this time, you might as well deal with the Japanese, so as not to become a national sinner and be infamous forever. "

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

Zuo Zhong smiled and clapped. Being able to behave like this in such an environment shows that the other party's beliefs and will are firm, at least at this stage. After all, it is not easy to stay calm in the interrogation chair.

 There is a reason why some people in later generations nicknamed the interrogation chair the regret chair. Not to mention normal people, even trained agents cannot guarantee that they can handle it calmly in front of an interrogator who has a huge psychological advantage.

It was a clever move to bring Director Chen into the game. This man was Er Chen's uncle and the younger brother of someone else. He was quite prestigious in the Guo Party and was related to Wen Yuqing. Chen Shi's answer was correct. .

The nervousness, trembling, anger and other emotions he showed during the conversation were just right, in line with the reaction of a civilian employee facing fear. He was worthy of being an old underground gangster who could safely lurk in the translation office for many years without being discovered.

However, appreciation is appreciation, and the appearance must be done well, otherwise it will easily arouse suspicion. Zuo Zhong slowly stopped his applause, picked up the dossier and looked at the other party with interest, and read out his information calmly.

"Chen Shi, male, born in 1903, from Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, graduated from Zhijiang University in Hangcheng, and then went to Japan to study. This is the profile you filled in when you joined the company. That's right, but as far as we know, you seem to have missed something. .

 That means that you served as the Director of the Foreign Affairs Department in the puppet Jidong Autonomous Government, and you also had exchanges with the Japanese diplomatic systems in Peiping and Tianjin. I don’t know how Team Leader Chen explained it. Could it be that you have forgotten this?

It doesn't matter if you forget. These photos of the inauguration ceremony of Jidong Autonomous Government personnel may remind you of something. In order to get them, we spent a few big yellow croakers and sacrificed an intelligence officer.

 Look, don’t tell me that there are people with the same name and appearance in the world. Your information, the testimonies of your neighbors, classmates, and friends do not show that you have a twin brother. How do you explain this? "

After saying that, Zuo Zhong threw a stack of photos on the table, crossed his arms and crossed his legs. He slightly raised the corners of his mouth and asked sarcastically: "Tell me, are you a Japanese spy? What is the purpose of lurking in the translation office?" !

The three pieces of information about the Yangtze River blockage plan, the supplementary brigade to support Shanghai and Hangcheng Bay, and the leader taking the British Embassy car to the front line, were you leaked to the intelligence department of the Japanese Navy Command Department? Tell me honestly! "

 Japanese spy?

Yangtze River Blockage Plan?

Military intelligence?

 British Embassy car?

Hearing what he said, Wen Yuqing and Wang Weiqing were shocked. It turned out that the air raid on the Shanghai-Nanjing Highway was really done by the Japanese. Their target was not Bai Longdu at all. They wanted to kill the leader and conduct a decapitation operation.

Knowing that they were in trouble, the two immediately rushed to the photo and stared with wide eyes. They saw nine people sitting behind a simple coal stove in a small small room. One of them was Chen Shi, who was wearing a suit. .

Wen and Wang were so shocked that their mouths opened wide. They seemed unclear about the experiences of their subordinates. Yes, who would have thought that the most important cadre of the agency that was nominally responsible for deciphering Japanese secret messages turned out to be a traitor. “Chen Shi, you, you!”

Wen Yuqing pointed at the other party and was speechless. His eyes turned black and he sat down. He began to think about how to deal with this matter. There was a spy under his command. As the director, he could not absolve himself of the blame. Even if he was dismissed and investigated, it would be a light one.

Who made the conflict between China and Japan get bigger and bigger? The anger of the people throughout the Republic of China was aroused. No matter who hooked up with the Japanese, they would be scolded. For example, several pots of night fragrance were poured on the door of the house named Wang. .

Besides, it was related to the safety of the leader, and even if Er Chen came forward, it would be useless. Maybe it wouldn't be long before he would also sit in the interrogation chair and be investigated. Thinking about it, Wen Yuqing felt so depressed that he covered his forehead in despair.

Deputy Director Wang Weiqing had an angry look on his face. In contrast to his previous low-key tone, he raised his hand and slapped the table hard. His chest heaved violently. He was obviously very angry, but he was forced to curse directly because of the rules of the Secret Service.

Besides, when Chen Shi saw the photo, he was stunned for a few seconds. Then his face suddenly turned pale, and the muscles in his legs and face began to beat. This was a natural reaction in panic, and he pretended to be like that.

 A good opponent,

Also a good teammate.

Zuo Zhong's eyes were full of smiles, and he was not worried about others seeing the problem. He was a tiger with a smile. If he didn't smile, his nickname would be in vain. Then he took out the second document, looking at the other person from time to time and said leisurely.

“On August 1, the leaders held a supreme meeting of the government in Zhongshan Mausoleum. At the meeting, it was decided to sink the ship in Jiangyin, the narrowest part of the Yangtze River, and wait for an opportunity to catch all the Japanese warships in the upper reaches to gain an advantage in the war.

But just an hour later, all the Japanese ships suddenly weighed anchor and rushed out of the Yangtze River Estuary. The plan was in vain, and only two dilapidated old merchant ships were blocked. Therefore, Shangfeng assigned the Secret Service to handle the case with full authority.

On August 2, at 8:17 a.m., Li Si, the deciphering team leader of the Interpretation Office, and Li Shu, a team member who cooperated with our work, revealed to you that the entire 2nd Division Supplementary Brigade put on security team uniforms and secretly went to Shanghai to protect the airport and Hangzhou Bay.

On the morning of the 3rd, a brigade of the Japanese Marine Special Marine Corps stationed in Shanghai moved to Hangzhou Bay to deploy defenses. At the same time, Japanese military intelligence personnel began to investigate the personnel, equipment and other top-secret information of the local garrison. "

At 10:23 a.m. on August 5, Huo Xingyao, a member of the research team, came back from the toilet and mentioned that two people were discussing the leader’s upcoming trip to Shanghai, and said that the trip was related to the British Embassy’s vehicle.

On August 7, at 10:07 a.m., two vehicles of the British Embassy were attacked on the way, causing a total of 5 deaths and 2 injuries. Ambassador Bailondu was still receiving treatment at the Central Hospital due to diarrhea caused by drinking sewage. . "

After Zuo Zhong finished speaking, he looked at Chen Shi coldly: "Mr. Chen, please tell me, is this all a coincidence? Why does the Japanese take corresponding measures as long as the information is known to you?" action.

The only thing that makes me curious is how you found out about the Yangtze River Blockage Plan. That is top secret. Not to mention you, a small research team leader, even Director Wen is not qualified to have access to this level of information. "

 The interrogation room was quiet.

The only sound is the running sound of the tape recorder.

"I…"

 Chen Shi didn't seem to know how to answer Zuo Zhong's question, so he murmured and lowered his head. This surprised the agents present. They had never seen such an amateur mole, but after thinking about it, they thought it was normal.

Traitors are different from Japanese spies. Diehards like Lu Wenbao, the leader of the Jiaxing Cao Gang, are exceptions after all. They are greedy for life, fearful of death, and greedy for vanity. They cannot hold on much after joining the secret service.

"Haha, don't worry, Mr. Chen. Also, at 5:41 pm on the 5th, when you were returning to your dormitory on Zhongshan Road, you passed by Chengji Satin and Woolen Clothing Store and saw something. It was the "fine-count cotton cloth that arrived." It’s a guise.”

Zuo Zhong played with the pen in his hand and looked directly into the other person's eyes: "Zhang Anshi, this name should be familiar to you. To tell you the truth, just a few dozen minutes ago, our people had taken control of Chengji.

He also successfully found evidence in the documents that were not destroyed. It said "Shanghai" in Japanese, but it was a pity that this guy ran away, but before he left, he asked the boy to change the cover to "Tomorrow's Red Cloth" sold out".

It seems that you have a good relationship. Even if I run for my life, I will not forget to give you a warning. Is Zuo right? So it doesn’t matter to us whether you open your mouth or not. I think talents are rare and I want to give you a chance to be a new person.

As long as you honestly explain the problem, I guarantee that you will not only be able to leave safely, but also continue to serve the party and the country. Life is the most precious. Please think twice, Mr. Chen, and never let Zuo down. "

At this point, Zuo Zhong's entire plan has taken the final step. He spent so much time and energy with only one purpose, to turn Chen Shi from an underground party intelligence officer into a Japanese spy.

Why should we go to such great lengths? Because from the moment the enemy's information leaked from the Japanese navy in Shanghai came into the sight of the Secret Service, it had actually been exposed. Unless they retreated immediately, they would be caught by the secret agents sooner or later.

It is not easy for the underground party to deploy personnel to the translation office. It cannot be interrupted by an accident. Without this pair of ears and clairvoyance, Northwest will not be able to grasp the pulse of the Party and the Japanese. This loss is too great.

If he wanted to keep Chen Shi safe and let Chen Shi's latent mission continue, there was no way to use his identity as a Japanese spy. In short, he had done everything he could, and now it was up to him to see whether the other party would act according to his expectations.

"I said."

Over there, after a "fierce" ideological struggle, Chen Shi slumped down on the interrogation chair and readily admitted all the confidential cases. As for the source of the intelligence on the Yangtze River blockage plan, he also gave a quite reasonable explanation.

The job of the Cryptography Office is not only to decipher codes, but also to replace and compile their own high-level codes. As long as you pay a little attention, most of the government messages are no secret to people like them.

This method was indeed very fruitful, a standard intelligence sieve, so that Wen Yuqing, who was observing, believed it as soon as he heard it. He felt like his head was buzzing in a daze, and he reluctantly stood up to get some air to avoid fainting.

He felt that it was time for him to leave a will to his family. Chen Shi, this bastard, is really harmful to people. It’s not good for you to lurk wherever you go. If you insist on coming to the cryptographic interpretation office to harm yourself, I won’t let you go even if I’m a ghost. .

As soon as he reached the door of the interrogation room, the iron door was pushed open from the outside, and then a fierce bald man ran in. He pushed him into the corner arrogantly, raised his hand and saluted to the left and said excitedly.

 “Deputy Director, the operation goes well!”
