Chapter 720 The End and the Beginning (Two in One)
"Okamoto."

The Belarusian Torreta arrived before anyone could be heard. After getting out of the car, he yelled, and then hurried into Jiren Pharmacy, looking around with his eyes.

The room was deserted and deserted, only Zuo Zhong, whose alias was Shigenobu Okamoto, settled accounts at the counter. Seeing him coming, Zuo Zhong raised his head with a smile and made a joke.

"My friend, I knew it was almost time for you to come, as soon as something happened in Harbin, you, a taxi driver, would be busier than the police department.

I know what you're going to ask, Xia Zi and I went out yesterday afternoon, came back after dark, just went out for breakfast, someone can testify.

Tell me, what happened, why are there so many policemen and imperial soldiers outside, did the Red Russians call? "

The two parties have been together for so long, and Torretta's true identity is not a secret. Playing stupid blindly will only be counterproductive, so it is better to get straight to the point.

If you don't want to be strong, he is a Japanese doing business in the "colonies", so there is no need to be afraid of the eyes of the puppet Manchukuo government or other agencies.

"Ha ha."

"You misunderstood."

Torreta laughed dryly, put his hands on the counter and leaned over his head and said mysteriously: "I heard that something happened in Xiaoniujiaogou Village.

A group of anti-Manchurian and anti-Japanese elements set a fire nearby last night, and all the military and police in Harbin were dispatched into the mountains this morning to encircle and suppress them. "

While introducing the situation, the Belarusian observed Zuo Zhong's expression. He felt quite confident in such a blatant temptation.

"what!"

Zuo Zhong waited for the other party to finish speaking, and asked anxiously: "Is the medicine okay, damn it, I can't bear the cost of buying medicine from other places.

Why can't these people build the locust paradise with peace of mind and insist on destroying it? No, I have to go to Xiaoniujiaogou Village to see the situation. "

While speaking, he walked directly out of the counter to the hanger, raised his hand to take off the coat and hat on it, and waved to Torretta again.

"Let's go, take me to Xiaoniujiaogou, I'll pay you double the fare, start early, try to come back at night to avoid danger."

"no no."

Torreta shook his head quickly: "The Japanese checkpoints outside the city are under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, even if they have a pass.

And I don't want to go there, there is no wine, no women, you can go by yourself in the future, but promise me that the favor fee must not be less.

Well, it's time for me to go to business. As a friend, I would like to remind you, don't have any relationship with Xiaoniujiaogou again, understand? "

After saying something endless, Torreta patted the counter lightly, turned around and left Jiren Pharmacy, stepped on the accelerator and drove away quickly after getting in the car.

A row of clear wheel marks were left on the muddy ground, and a few green pine needles stuck in the slush stood out in the sunlight.

Zuo Zhong's gaze focused, and then his brows frowned slightly. He always felt that the other party's performance today was a bit awkward, especially the last sentence.

Stay away from Xiaoniujiaogou,

this is a reminder

Or a warning?

He went there to do business. Many people knew about it. When he went there for the first time, there were even Japanese and puppets watching him, so he couldn't hide it from others.

So it doesn't matter whether he goes now or not. If he is suspected by the Japanese, the secret agents will definitely come to his door. Obviously this is not a kind reminder.

Can only be a warning.

But who is the other party warning, and what is the purpose of the warning? Is this bastard ordered by the Puppet Manchukuo Police Department? This seems reasonable.

Zuo Zhong thought about it for a while, then returned to the counter thoughtfully, while continuing to play the pharmacy boss, he kept pressing his fingers on the phone screen.

After the task was completed, he needed to ask Lao Dai what to do next. Whether they should evacuate or stick to it for a period of time had to be approved by the other party.

Not long after, the telegram came back.

"As soon as I see the call, there will be personnel to take over the latent work in the near future. The Wolong and Fengchu teams will return to Shanghai by sea, and the East China District will be responsible for the response.

In addition, the Tokyo station was destroyed by the Japanese intelligence agency, and the personnel suffered heavy losses. Only three members of the intelligence team remained, and the whereabouts of the station manager Zhuang Zili is currently unknown.

The intelligence division's team in Japan also lost contact with Jinling that day, and the leader ordered you to go to Japan to investigate the matter and carry out rescue or sanction orders. "

Something happened at Tokyo Station.

Fu Ling and the others lost contact.

Zuo Zhong looked at the translated telegram, and his heart skipped a beat. How did the Japanese find the Tokyo station? The Bureau of Statistics and the Secret Service are about to experience an earthquake.

As the overseas Class A station of the Secret Service, Tokyo Station has several departments including the intelligence team, action team, general affairs, and telecommunications, with more than 100 personnel.

With so many intelligence personnel trapped in one fell swoop, he, the deputy chief, and even Lao Dai, the chief and chief of the bureau, might all be punished.

Not because of the dead,
people,
The government has plenty.

The key is that the national government has no channels to obtain Japanese intelligence. In the future, if officials want to know Japan's local intelligence, they can only read newspapers.

Of course, it is also possible to set up another intelligence network, but it will take a long time, and if it is discovered by Japanese intelligence agencies, all previous efforts will be wasted.

Zuo Zhong tore up the Yidian note, hid it in his palm and quickly stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, and began to recall the information about Tokyo Station in his brain.

The first is Zhuang Zili, the station master. His real name is unknown, his background is unknown, and his past history is unknown. Only Lao Dai can directly contact this person.

It is said that he is also a student of Whampoa, and he is deeply trusted by the bald head. This is why he is in charge of a party in his 30s. He is not a simple person.

When Zuo Zhong first entered the industry, he sent the relatives of the spy to Hong Kong City through the other party, using this as a condition to make the spy open his mouth and cracked the Japanese radio case.

After he took office as the deputy director, he also received information from Zhuang Zili. It can be seen that he is very capable of working and his position is relatively upright.

Such a seasoned veteran, leading people to lurk in the crisis-ridden Japanese mainland, will definitely act cautiously and will not be exposed easily.

But there are also hidden dangers. The Tokyo station was established relatively early, and the background of the personnel is complicated. Many members come from the world and are not professional intelligence personnel.

Each of these people has his own background, each has his own background, and each has his own interests and demands, which is a bit like a miniature secret agent headquarters.

It seems the problem is people.

To be precise, a traitor.

And a high-ranking traitor.

This can be inferred from the heavy loss of personnel in the telegram. When fighting behind enemy lines, ordinary front-line personnel will be separated from the command organization.

Grassroots intelligence officers will not know the situation of their superiors, superiors, and other personnel, so how did the Japanese destroy the entire Tokyo Station?

track it?
This is impossible.

It is okay to track one or two people, but it is very difficult to track more than 100 people, even if the opponent has the home field advantage and cooperates with the traitor, it cannot do this.

For example, Zhuang Zili, whose cover status in Japan is a returned Japanese overseas Chinese, does not usually participate in specific intelligence operations, and has deployed special carrier pigeons.

When it is necessary to convey orders or receive reports, the carrier pigeons go to the secret mailbox to drop and receive, and there is a security post to monitor the secret mailbox 24 hours a day.

Unless someone reveals all the personnel information at Tokyo Station, the Japanese will have a chance to catch them all. There is no second possibility.

Does anyone know this information?
Zhuang Zili is one of them. His whereabouts are unknown, maybe he defected. He is engaged in intelligence work in the devil's base camp, and he will be arrested if he is not careful.

This kind of mental pressure is not something ordinary people can bear. It is not unimaginable to choose to join the enemy when you can't think about it for a while.

In addition, Wang Zhongquan, the intelligence team leader of Tokyo Station, and Tan Wei, the operation team leader, also know the information of most of the personnel, and they are also suspected.

Zuo Zhong silently kept the names of these three people in his heart, and decided to start with this one when he arrived in Japan, and first find out the inner ghost and deal with it.

As for Fu Ling and the others, he didn't think it was a big problem. At the beginning, he told the other party to keep a certain distance from Tokyo Station, so as not to be implicated.

As a result, the word has now become a prophecy. The Intelligence Division's Japanese team should have known that Zhuang Zili was exposed, and entered a dormant state out of safety considerations.

Under such circumstances, it was normal not to be able to be contacted for a while. Fu Ling could never use the radio station under the strict surveillance of the Japanese.

Japan's local radio station management system is very complete. Any radio station must be registered, and any radio station that has not been registered will be traced as soon as it appears.

"Ugh."

Zuo Zhong tried to contact Fu Ling with his mobile phone, but he didn't get any response. He sighed silently in his heart, and had no choice but to contact Fu Ling when he got to the place.

Fortunately, at the beginning of the plan, they anticipated this situation and set up an emergency contact method, hoping to see each other there.

Immediately afterwards, he turned his attention to a green test tube in the space, and after staring blankly for a while, he found He Yijun in the backyard and explained the situation.

This time they go to Japan to perform missions, and the two of them must go together, so that they can not only confuse the enemy, but also take care of each other.

If Fu Ling is not found, when will the investigation be done by one person, one more person will have more strength, and they will have to prepare to evacuate from work.

In fact, there is nothing to prepare for.
After handing over the pharmacy, you can leave.

But before the arrival of the successor, Zuo important to solve the last thing, and that is to kill Torreta, the Japanese dog leg.

Three days later,
late at night.

Harbin's Belarusian residential area is full of drunken drunkards, and a taxi slowly stops in front of a new-style building.

In the distance, a few brats were setting off fireworks on the side of the road, and a woman with a scarf wrapped around her face quickly walked across the street corner with her head bowed.

Torreta hummed a little tune and got out of the car, walked up to the second floor with the key in his hand, looked down at the imprint on the crack of the door and opened the door with a smile.

After entering the door, he pulled the light cord, and the moment the light came on, a firework exploded outside the house, and several weak gunshots sounded inside the house.

Zuo Zhong was sitting on the sofa facing the door, holding a Browning in his right hand wearing a leather glove, and the muffler of the gun was emitting smoke.

"Da da da"

Seeing the white Russian man with blood gushing out of his mouth, he got up and walked to the other side step by step, squatting down and speaking softly.

"Are you from Lubyanka①? That's right, you were the ones who provided the information on bacterial weapons, and you're using us as a knife, haha.

The pine needles on your wheels were stained in the back shade river, NKVD is indeed well-deserved of its reputation, even such an important crime scene can be mixed in. "

"You are the Secret Service."

Torreta lay on the ground, spit out a few words intermittently, his eyes were full of disbelief, the Japanese turned out to be a Chinese intelligence officer.

Zuo Zhong looked at him quietly, feeling that there is really no permanent enemy or permanent friend, so he decided to point his gun at his Red Russian counterpart.

"Good night."

"bang bang bang"

One minute later, he appeared at the door of the building. Fireworks lit up the street, and the disturbed residents yelled at their children.

Zuo Zhong smiled slightly, raised his hand to press the brim of his hat, and walked towards the unknown darkness ahead. After an unknown amount of time, the sound of an explosion suddenly resounded.

Immediately, harsh sirens wafted over the city of Harbin, and the death of an eyeliner was insignificant at this sensitive moment.

Make more mistakes,

This official standard applies everywhere.

The first task of the Police Department is to get out of the Beiyin River incident. Belarusian people die as soon as they die. It is strange that people will not die in this world.

When the time is about to enter 1936, Jiren Pharmacy has changed to a new owner. No one cares where the original boss has gone, and life is still the same.

The world is still running as usual without anyone, such as the Tanjung Hotel where the boss returned to Penang, and the Risheng Food Store that was taken over by the new shopkeeper.

Only the courtesans in the city occasionally think of the handsome shopkeeper Ling Er, and the shopkeeper Xu Da who never forgets to take care of business with a broken leg.

One day, early in the morning.

A passenger ship bound for Tokyo from Kanto Prefecture sailed into Tokyo Port under the leadership of a pilot boat, and passengers pointed to the shore under the signal flag.

A young couple who traveled to Mizhou to get married stood at the door of the cabin and bid farewell to another couple, leaving correspondence addresses for each other.

On the means of transportation, the narrow space, close distance and long-term contact will make people emotional and make friends easier.

As for whether there is a chance to continue the relationship after the journey is over, it depends on whether they really share the same interests, otherwise it will be just an episode.

Reluctantly, the four walked to different gangways separately, because passengers who have not entered the country for a year are subject to inspection, and Japanese citizens are no exception.

Zuo Zhong and He Yijun sent off the "good friends" they met on the boat, stood in the queue and looked at the distant city, full of thoughts for a while.

Tokyo, located in the middle of the Kanto Plain, facing Tokyo Bay, is the seat of the Edo Shogunate, and became the political and cultural center after the Meiji Restoration.

It has 35 districts and a population of 363 million, on par with New York and London. It has over 4 police officers and more troops stationed around it.

For example, the 1st garrison brigade, the 2nd garrison brigade, and the 3rd garrison brigade are all fully equipped elite troops, and their combat effectiveness is no worse than that of the Kwantung Army.

In addition, the intelligence agencies of the Japanese army, navy, and diplomacy are all stationed here, and all intelligence personnel add up to no less than thousands of people.

Starting a new mission in such a huge and dangerous city, the mood of the two was inevitably complicated, until the inspectors began to ask.

"your name."

"Okamoto, Okamoto Shigenobu."

"Why haven't you returned home for so long?"

"I did business in Huizhou Province of the Republic of China for several years, and stayed in Harbin for several months."

"Reasons for returning home."

"The situation in the Republic of China is unstable. There are many saboteurs in Mizhou, which is very dangerous."

The inspector in police uniform raised his head after asking, glanced at the smiling target, picked up the stamp and typed "Passed" heavily on the information.

　① Red Russian intelligence agency, the seat of the NKVD of the People's Commissar of Internal Affairs.

　　The transitional chapters are all two in one, so as not to waste everyone's subscription money. It is not easy to make money, but I will measure it. If necessary, it will not be divided, okay?
