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 Encryption Office followed Zuo Zhong into a dark but clean interrogation room, quietly swallowed while looking at the instruments of torture that could be seen everywhere in the room. .

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

If they all died in the interrogation room, what would happen to the deciphering of the Japanese secret messages? Shangfeng would not care about other things. Thinking of this, the director Wen Yuqing's face became ugly, and he chatted with Zuo Chong unwillingly.

"Deputy Director Zuo, just now there are too many people and it is inconvenient to ask more questions. What evidence did you find to prove that the research team was involved in the leak case? Please explain it carefully. I think there must be a misunderstanding.

Chen Shi, Huo Xingyao and others have always been conscientious in their work. They have never made mistakes, and the top-secret information they have handled has never leaked out. If there are spies among them, why they have not been exposed before, this is something I don't understand. "

"Yes, Colonel Zuo, the battle in Shanghai is imminent, and there are many telegrams waiting to be deciphered. You should know the importance of deciphering. If there is no conclusive evidence, our normal work will be affected if it is delayed."

Wang Weiqing, the deputy director of the inspection and translation institute, also chimed in. As the saying goes, the ass decides the head. It is reasonable to say such a thing given the positions of the two of them. After all, no chief wants to see a ghost in his subordinates.

Facing the doubt, Zuo Zhong didn't give a positive answer, but he said haha: "Well, the evidence will definitely be seen by the two of you, but not now, let's interrogate first, let's start with Chen Shi, the team leader who loves his job and works hard. start.

However, I would like to remind Director Wen and Deputy Director Wang that it is best for you not to intervene during the interrogation, otherwise you will inevitably be suspected of colluding confessions. Even if I trust the two, I must keep you out of duty. "

After finishing speaking, he nodded to Shen Dongxin who was standing at the door, motioning for him to bring him, then left Wen Yuqing and Wang Weiqing aside, opened the file by himself, 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 wearing the equipment. Because the shackles were too heavy, he staggered and nearly fell when he entered, but he was still shouting.

"Let go of me, what on earth are you planning to do in the Secret Service? Don't think that I am a lonely ghost who can be bullied at will. I want to sue you to Director Chen, so that you can't eat and walk around. Director, please help me!" what."

Seeing Wen and Wang sitting there, Chen Shi rushed over as if he saw a savior, grabbed the table in front of each other and begged bitterly, but the two had just been warned by Zuo Zhong, and they opened their mouths and shut them quickly. superior.

Chen Shi, who had nowhere to ask for help, was full of despair until he was forcibly dragged away by several spies and fixed on an interrogation chair. Looking at the blazing carbon stove in the room, this person showed nervousness and his legs trembled unconsciously.

Zuo Chong looked at him with a smile, and when everyone quieted down, he coughed lightly: "Mr. Chen, you should know who we are, where you are, and what you're going to face next.

Everyone is professional, so don't waste time, you should honestly confess your true identity and mission, so as not to suffer in vain, don't expect your boss to save you, here, I have the final say! "

"Left Deputy..."

"kindness?"

Wen Yuqing couldn't sit still when he heard Zuo Zhong's threat, and wanted to stop it, but he was interrupted just as he spoke, and the spies with unkind faces came over, and at the same time touched the gun on his waist inadvertently .

People had to bow their heads under the eaves, so Wen Yuqing had no choice but to stop talking, and looked at his subordinates helplessly, preparing to hear how the other party would answer the questions from the Secret Service.

When Chen Shi saw this scene, he became very emotional: "I can't understand what you said, my task is to study the Japanese telegrams, I have no other identity, Director Chen of the Central Audit Bureau can testify to me.

I don't understand, the enemy is about to hit Shanghai and Jinling, why are you people still doing frame-ups? Why don't you deal with the Japanese when you have this time, so as not to become a sinner of the nation and be remembered forever. "

clap clap clap...

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

There is a reason why some people in later generations dubbed the interrogation chair the regret chair. Not to mention normal people, even trained agents cannot guarantee that they can take it calmly in front of interrogators who have huge psychological advantages.

Pulling Director Chen into the game is a wonderful move. This person is Er Chen's uncle and the younger brother of someone's brother. He is quite prestigious in the Guo party and has a relationship with Wen Yuqing. Chen Shi's answer is right. .

The nervousness, trembling, anger and other emotions he showed during the conversation were just right, in line with the reaction of a civil servant in the face of fear.

But appreciation is appreciation, superficial skills must be done well, otherwise it will easily attract suspicion, Zuo Zhong slowly stopped applauding, picked up the file and looked at the other party with interest, and read his information calmly.

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

That is, 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 Beiping and Jinmen. I don’t know how Team Leader Chen explained it. Could it be that you forgot about this?

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

Take a look, please don’t tell me that there are people with the same name and surname in this world with the same appearance. Your information, the statements of your neighbors, classmates, and friends do not show that you have twin brothers. How do you explain this matter. "

After finishing speaking, Zuo Zhong threw a stack of photos on the table, crossed his arms and raised his legs, and asked with a slight sarcasm, "Tell me, are you a Japanese spy! What is the purpose of lurking in the translation office?" !
Did you leak the three pieces of information about the Yangtze River blockage plan, the supplementary brigade supporting Shanghai and Hangzhou Bay, and the leader taking the British embassy car to the front line to the intelligence department of the Japanese Navy Command? Be honest! "

Japanese spy?

Plan to block the Yangtze River?

Military intelligence?

British embassy car?
Hearing what he said, Wen Yuqing and Wang Weiqing's heart skipped a beat. It turned out that the air raid on the Shanghai-Nanjing Highway was really done by the Japanese. Their goal was not Bai Longdu at all, but to kill the leader and carry out a beheading operation.

The two knew that they were in trouble, and immediately rushed to the side of the photo and stared at it with wide eyes. They saw 9 people sitting in a small room behind a simple coal stove, and one of them was Chen Shi in a suit. .

Wen and Wang opened their mouths wide in shock. They didn't seem to know the past experience of their subordinates. Yes, who would have thought that the most important cadre of an organization that was supposedly responsible for deciphering Japanese secret messages was a traitor.

"Chen Shi, you, you!"

Wen Yuqing pointed at the other party and couldn't speak, his eyes turned black and he sat down on his buttocks, and began to think about how to deal with this matter. There was a spy under his command. As the director, he could hardly absolve himself of the blame, and dismissal and investigation would be considered light.

Who made the conflict between China and Japan more and more serious, and the anger of the people of the Republic of China was aroused. No matter who hooked up with the Japanese, they would be scolded bloody. For example, several pots of Yexiang were poured on the door of Wang .

Besides, it was about the leader's safety, so it would be useless for Er Chen to come forward, maybe he would also sit in the interrogation chair to accept the investigation soon, thinking about it, Wen Yuqing's heart was ashamed, and he covered his forehead despondently.

The deputy director Wang Weiqing showed anger, contrary to his previous low-key, he raised his hand and patted the table vigorously, his chest heaved violently, obviously he was very angry, but he was forced to swear directly because of the bad rules of the Secret Service.

Besides, Chen Shi himself was stunned for a few seconds when he saw the photo, and then his face turned pale, and the muscles on his legs and face began to throb. This was a natural reaction of panic, and he pretended to be like that.

a good opponent,

Also a good teammate.

Zuo Chong's eyes were full of smiles, he didn't worry about other people seeing the problem at all, he just smiled like a tiger, wouldn't it be a waste of his nickname if he didn't smile, then he took out the second document, looked at the other party from time to time and said leisurely.

"On August 8, the leader held the highest meeting of the National 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 wipe out all the Japanese ships upstream, so as to gain the first opportunity of the war.

But only one hour later, all the Japanese ships suddenly lifted anchor and rushed out of the Yangtze River Estuary, which made the plan fall short and only blocked two dilapidated old-fashioned merchant ships. Therefore, Shangfeng appointed the Secret Service to handle the case with full authority.

On August 8, at 2:2 in the morning, the deciphering team leader Li Si and team member Li Shu of the inspection and translation institute who cooperated with us revealed to you that all the [-]nd Division Supplementary Brigade put on security team uniforms and secretly went to Shanghai to protect the airport and Hangcheng Bay.

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

On August 8, at 5:23 a.m., Huo Xingyao, a member of the research team, came back from the toilet and mentioned that two people were discussing that the leader was about to go to Shanghai, and that the itinerary was related to the vehicle of the British embassy.

On August 8th, at 7:5 am, two vehicles of the British embassy were attacked on the way, resulting in 2 deaths and [-] injuries. Ambassador Berondo was still receiving treatment at the Central Hospital because of 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 do the Japanese make corresponding actions as long as you know the information?" action.

The only thing that makes me curious is how did you find out about the Yangtze River Blockage Plan? "

The interrogation room was silent.
Only the sound of the tape recorder running.

"I……"

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

Traitors are different from spies. Die-hard elements like Lu Wenbao, the leader of the Jiaxing Cao Gang, are an exception after all. Greed for life and fear of death, and greed for vanity are the real appearance of these people. After entering the Secret Service, they can't persist much.

"Hehe, don't worry, Mr. Chen. Also, at 5:41 p.m. on the [-]th, you went back to the dormitory from Zhongshan to the road. What did you see when you passed by Chengji silk, satin and woolen goods store? It was the cover of "fine cotton cloth arrived" Bar."

Zuo Zhong was fiddling with a pen in his hand, and looked sharply into the other's eyes: "Zhang Anshi, you should be familiar with this name, to tell you the truth, just a few ten minutes ago, our people had already controlled Cheng Ji.

He also successfully found evidence in the undestroyed documents, which 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 Red Cloth sold out".

It seems that you have a good relationship. Even if you escaped for your life, you didn't forget to give you a warning. Zuo was right or not, so it doesn't matter to us whether you open your mouth or not. I just want to give you a chance to start a new life.

As long as you explain the problem honestly, I guarantee that you can not only leave safely, but also continue to serve the party and country. Life is the most precious thing. Please think twice, Mr. Chen, and don't disappoint Zuo Mou's intentions. "

So far, Zuo Zhong's entire plan has completed the last step. He has 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 did it take such a lot of trouble, because the moment the opponent leaked information from the Japanese Shanghai Navy and entered the Secret Service's sight, it was actually exposed. Unless he retreated immediately, he would be caught by the secret agents sooner or later.

It is not easy for the underground party to place personnel in the inspection and translation office, and it cannot be interrupted by an accident. Without these ears and clairvoyance, the Northwest will not be able to grasp the pulse of the Guo party and the Japanese. This loss is too great.

To keep Chen Shi safe, and to keep Chen Shi's latent mission going, there is no way to use the identity of a spy. In short, he has done everything he can, and now it depends on whether the other party will act according to his expectations.

"I say."

After a "fierce" ideological struggle over there, Chen Shi slumped on the interrogation chair, and readily admitted all the secret-related cases. As for the source of the information on the Yangtze River blockage plan, he also gave a quite reasonable explanation.

The job of the Cipher Deciphering Office is not only to decipher codes, but also to replace and compile their own high-level codes. As long as you pay attention to it, most of the government telegrams are not secrets to them.

This method is indeed very frank, and the standard information is so sieved that Wen Yuqing, who was listening, believed it as soon as he heard it. He felt his head buzzing in a trance, and he barely stood up and wanted to go out to get some air, so as not to faint.

He feels that it's time for him to leave a will for his family. Chen Shi is a bastard who is really harmful. It's not good to lurk wherever you go. If you insist on coming to the cryptography office to harm yourself, I will not let you go even if I am a ghost. .

As a result, as soon as he reached the door of the interrogation room, the iron door was pushed open from the outside, and then a vicious big bald man ran in, brutally pushed him to the corner, raised his hand to the left and saluted him excitedly.

"Deputy Director, the operation went well!"
