Chapter 786 Decisive Victory (9)
"What's the specific situation?"

Zuo Zhong looked at Gui Youguang who had been transferred back from Shanghai, and asked indifferently.

"My brothers and I launched an attack according to your order. The target was very vigilant and immediately drew his gun to fight back. He resisted tenaciously, resulting in one death and one injury.

The living one was shot twice in the chest and had already been sent to Doctor Ling. The items in the house were sealed up on the spot and were not counted. Now they are outside the interrogation room. "

The bald man introduced the situation, raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his brow, and there was a strong smell of gunpowder smoke coming from his body. It seemed that the battle process was not as simple as he said.

"Well, you go to the side first and wait."

After listening to Zuo Chong's murmur, he realized that Chen Shi, who had finished taking notes, was secretly observing them from the corner of his eye. He was probably worried that the captured person was an underground party, so he smiled in his heart and asked someone to take him away.

During the previous interrogation, he revealed so much information, which was entirely a strategy. He used a lot of facts and evidence to tell the other party that the secret service knew a lot, and it didn't matter whether he said it or not.

Even if the interrogation records were sent to someone and Dai Chunfeng, the two of them would not think there was a problem. The psychological strategy always cost some money, otherwise it would break down the "spy"'s psychological defense.

The current situation is a bit different, there is no need to say too much, some things go too far, and the other party will naturally understand what happened today when the case is over.

Seeing Chen Shi being taken away by the little spy, the dejected Wen Yuqing and Wang Weiqing were about to stand up and leave, but before they could speak, they were startled by Zuo Zhong's next words.

"Two, don't rush to leave. The cipher inspection office is not just a spy, Team Leader Chen. We still have a guest who hasn't arrived yet."

Wen and Wang were struck by lightning immediately, and they froze in place. What is more than one spy? When did their translation office become a den of spies? This is impossible, absolutely impossible.

As soon as Wen Yuqing's face changed, he wanted to refute, but saw Zuo Zhong patted his hands lightly, and immediately a person was pushed into the interrogation room and fell heavily to the ground.

"Kacha...Kacha..."

A sound of leather shoes rubbing against the cement floor slowly came to this person, the room was silent for a few seconds, and a hand was stretched out to someone who fell on the ground.

"Get up, it's too cold on the ground, it's not good for your health, Mr. Zhang."

Zuo Zhong kindly helped up Zhang Yun, the business backbone of the research team of the Institute of Interpretation and Translation, the former young genius Zhang Yun, with a very warm tone.

After hearing this, Wen Yuqing couldn't help wondering what evil he had done in his previous life, why his subordinates had problems one after another, and now he would have to peel off his skin even if he didn't die.

Compared with his gaffe, Wang Weiqing's performance was much calmer, but his eyes were also full of disbelief, how could Zhang Yun be a spy.

The other party rejected the Japanese's invitation to stay in school, gave up the generous treatment and resolutely returned to the Republic of China. He made great contributions to the work of deciphering the telegram, and even a certain person once offered praise.

Would such a person be an inner ghost?

Killing him can't believe it.

Could it be that the secret service wants to kill the good and take the credit? !
Wang Weiqing looked vigilantly at the spies with live ammunition around him, hid this guess in his heart, and decided that if something went wrong later, he would find a way to leave this place first, and then look for an opportunity to report this to Shangfeng after going out.

Zuo Zhong didn't know what this person was thinking, so he invited the distraught Zhang Yun to the interrogation chair, turned around and returned to his seat, and then nodded to Gu Qi, signaling to start the interrogation.

One-man shows don’t last long, this game has to find someone to support, in case something goes wrong in the future, at least there is someone who will take the blame together, it’s just a pain for the old man.

"cough."

Gu Qi, who didn't know that he was half blamed, coughed after receiving the instruction, adjusted his glasses, picked up a pen, opened the transcript, and asked simple questions such as name and age.

Zhang Yun, who was terrified, acted very cooperatively, telling his identity and general experience one by one. These confessions were completely consistent with the archives of the inspection and translation office and the situation grasped by the secret service.

After chatting like this for a while, his spirit slowly relaxed. After carefully observing Gucci several times, he asked a question tremblingly, that is why he was caught here.

After listening to Gu Qi and writing a few words, he raised his head and said sternly: "I really don't know the reason, just now Chen Shi also said that he didn't know, but in the end he admitted that he was a Japanese spy.

In fact, everyone who came to the Secret Service said they were wronged, so you don’t have to waste your time, because it’s meaningless. I’ve seen opponents who are more professional and stronger than you.

Most of them let go after enjoying the special hospitality, and you should have seen the rest of them, which are the corpses hanging on the gate of Jinling City. "

As he said that, Gu Qi winked at Gui Youguang, the bald man who hadn't beaten anyone for a long time grinned, went to the torture rack to pick and choose, picked up a steel wire whip and shook it, the whistling sound was chilling .

"Wait a minute, sir, I'm really not a spy of any country, especially Japan, what I saw and heard when I was studying in Tokyo and the discrimination I received made me unable to have any good feelings for this country, please believe me. "

Zhang Yun became impatient when he saw that the sentence was going to be executed, and he struggled to defend himself: "Besides, I read books every day besides work, unlike Chen Zu... Chen Shi who went out every weekend like Chen Shi, and never said a word to outsiders. of."

"Well, I believe it."

Gu Qi unexpectedly agreed with what he said, and then smiled half-smile: "I never said that you are a spy, so besides the Japanese, there are no spies from other forces in the government.

This is of course impossible. For example, those warlords, such as the Red Russia, and the underground party, are all very interested in the intelligence of the party-state. Am I right, dear Comrade Zhang Yun? "

Comrade Zhang Yun!

Hearing this sentence, Wen Yuqing was so frightened that he sat on the ground directly, wishing he didn't come to the Secret Service to hear the trial today, his subordinates not only have spies, but also underground party, just kill him and forget it.

People who work in the government can be Japanese spies or traitors. As long as they are willing to cooperate, they will not have to worry about their lives. The only thing is that they cannot be related to the underground party. This usually means mysterious disappearance. .

Either he was shot eight times in the back and committed suicide. In short, anyone and anything involved in the underground party is dangerous, let alone he is related to Er Chen, even if he is Er Chen's relative, he must die.

Wang Weiqing's reaction was not much better, he looked at Zhang Yun stupidly, with an unbelievable look, the nerd who drank foreign ink turned out to be a legendary dissident, which was indeed beyond everyone's expectations.

"No, I'm not an underground party!"

"Yes, I'm a spy! A spy!"

When the person involved, Zhang Yun, heard that he had become an underground party, his reaction was even more violent than seeing the steel whip waving. He smashed the interrogation chair and insisted that he was a spy, but gave specific details and evidence.

"I was recruited when I was studying abroad. The other party pretended to make friends with me and took me to many places for fun. They were generous and asked a few questions about the location of the military camp in my hometown.

I didn't care, so I told what I knew. A few months later, he directly showed his cards and said that with the information I provided, they successfully instigated several officers, and I could no longer get off the ship.

I had no choice but to join the China Section of the Intelligence Department of the Japanese Navy Command, code-named Angler Fish. The task was to collect information on the fruit party and the underground party. The contact person was the boss of Guzhou Bookstore.

The connection method is to borrow books from the bookstore, where each book has a fixed position, the shelf number represents the number of pages, the number of rows represents the number of lines, and the number of books from right to left represents the number of words.

In this way, without any communication, as long as the corresponding books are taken away, the specific content can be deciphered through the code book. As for how the contact person will contact the headquarters, I really don't know.

The dissertation, early graduation, and invitation to stay in school were also arranged by the Japanese in order to increase my importance and create a reliable background so that I could break into the secret organs of the national government.

Yes, I once leaked the information on the Japanese Navy's mobilization in Shanghai sent by Director Dai of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. "

Seeing that Zhang Yun couldn't wait to put the spy hat on his head. This kind of strange thing confused the people present. Gu Qi frowned and turned to look at Zuo Zhong, wanting to hear the opinion of the deputy director. He was a little uncertain.

"Hahaha, Mr. Zhang is good at acting!"

Unexpectedly, Zuo Zhong laughed, stretched out his thumb, and before waiting for the other party's rebuttal, his complexion turned cold and his tone was full of ridicule.

"Since you say you are a spy, well, I want to ask you a few questions, as long as you can answer clearly, I am willing to give you a chance to turn your back on the dark and turn to the bright, note that this is the only chance.

The first question, you have been in the cipher inspection office for so long, and I heard that you have made a lot of achievements in deciphering the underground party's messages. It is reasonable to know ourselves and the enemy, so we should have an advantage over them.

As for the reality, Guojun's military operations have repeatedly failed, and many containment plans were seen through by the red heads at the last moment, just like those people can predict the prophets, are you surprised?

Is there such a possibility that someone seems to be actively deciphering the secret messages of the underground party, but in fact he uses this to gain higher authority, thereby helping the underground party to escape from the Guojun time and time again? "

Reversing the process with the result,

There is no solution to this problem at all.

And Zuo Zhong's reason for targeting Zhang Yun as a suspect was also very simple. When he realized that Chen Shi was one of his own, he immediately realized one thing.

Assuming that the preliminary work of the Cipher Deciphering Institute is to decipher the underground party's telegrams and provide intelligence support for the front line, what will the underground party's intelligence personnel hide among them?
Of course it is a tip-off!

What would the spy do?
Everyone knows with their butts that the Japanese will definitely not stay out of the matter. Out of fear of red and for the purpose of inciting the Republic of China to kill each other, they will definitely help the Guo Party.

Therefore, whoever is most active in deciphering the underground party's messages is most likely to be a spy. This is a basic judgment based on the logic of the devil's behavior.

He had found a reason to quietly ask Gu Qi to investigate, and the result of the investigation was naturally Zhang Yun, this inconspicuous and transparent figure.

"I……"

Zhang Yun on the opposite side was dumbfounded. There was indeed nothing wrong with what the other party said. Facing the encirclement and suppression of hundreds of thousands of troops, the underground party not only was not wiped out, but broke through the blockade and ran to the Northwest.

But this has absolutely nothing to do with him. The military command asked him to do his best to help Guodang decipher the underground party's messages. If he wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone, he could only obey orders. Could it be wrong to work hard?

He quietly hesitated for a moment and chose to tell the truth, anyway, he couldn't be treated as an underground party by the Secret Service, that would cost his life, and he served the Japanese as a dog for the sake of glory and wealth, not seeking death.

After listening to Zhang Yun's explanation, Zuo Zhong thought for a while and nodded lightly: "Okay, let's assume that you have passed the first question, and the second question, you said the owner of Guzhou Bookstore is your contact person?"

"Yes, it's him!"

Zhang Yun nodded repeatedly, as if he was afraid that Zuo Zhong would not believe him, and even revealed the other party's appearance and alias, in order to cover his crime and make meritorious service.

When Zuo Zhong heard this, he stood up abruptly and ordered: "Okay, Gui Youguang, move in all the things that were confiscated from Guzhou Bookstore, and we will conduct a search on the spot to see if we can find someone who can prove the identity of the bookstore owner." evidence."

As he spoke, he looked at Wen Yuqing and Wang Weiqing, who had lowered their heads: "You two are just here to testify. If Mr. Zhang is telling the truth, this matter will end here. If it is a lie, you'd better pray that this person doesn't Leak important information."

"Understand~"

Gui Youguang replied, and led the people out of the interrogation room. After a while, they brought in large wooden boxes. The keyholes of the boxes were all sealed with the seal of the Secret Service.

"Director Wen, Deputy Director Wang, go and have a look. After the arrest, my subordinates supervised each other and sealed up these things immediately. They never opened them again."

Zuo Zhong kicked the box, and said solemnly: "Please be sure to see clearly, there are always people who say that our secret service has been tortured into tricks. This is completely a rumor, and Zuo pays the most attention to evidence in handling cases."

"Okay, brother, check it now."

"it is good."

Resisting the urge to roll their eyes, Wen and Wang looked at all the boxes carefully, and found that there were no signs of tearing on the seals, and the glue was completely dry. They were sure that the boxes hadn't been opened, let alone just resealed, so they were relieved.

Seeing that they had no objection, Zuo Zhong walked around the room, inspected the wooden box and groped carefully, and said to the spies seriously.

"When searching, everyone must be careful and not let go of any useful clues. At the same time, they must supervise the people around them to prevent anyone from stealing or forging evidence. Violators will be dealt with by military law."

"Yes."

Following an order, the spies tore off the seal, placed the evidence in the box on the ground one by one for a thorough inspection, such as quilts, clothes and other items were torn directly, and did not let go of any suspicious things .

Time passed by, and the interrogation room was full of sundries. Gu Qi, Shen Dongxin and others watched silently without making a sound. Regardless of whether the owner of Guzhou Bookstore was a spy or an underground party, they were all professional intelligence personnel.

It is uncertain whether this kind of person will leave clues in his workplace. The search can only be said to be based on the fate of the people, and they are not [-]% sure, so they are not too anxious.

Suddenly, a small spy held up a cloth bag and shouted: "Report, a bullet was found."

bullet?

Everyone's heart moved, and they walked quickly to the opponent's side. When they saw the bullet, to be precise, the bullet, Gui Youguang, who was familiar with the weapons of various countries, immediately blurted out.

"This is the 0.303-inch bullet used by the British Lee Enfield rifle. The domestic equipment is very small. Due to the difficulty of importing, only the elite troops of the Guangxi Army and a few warlords in the Southwest will use it.

Judging from the damage of the warhead, it is likely that it hit a soft object, most likely it was a person. What is a bookstore owner doing to save this thing? It is still hidden in a cloth bag. It is not a good thing. "

"Gui Jun?"

"Hit someone?"

Gu Qi on the side was thoughtful, and said to himself: "During the Southwest War two years ago, the Gui army was sent by the leader to fight the underground party. It is said that the two sides fought fiercely and many died, could it be?"

"That's right, the opening time of this person in the information coincides with the outbreak of the Southwest War, I wonder if it will be..." Shen Dongxin also joined in the fun.

Hearing the three people's words, everyone couldn't help but imagine a third-rate tabloid story about the murder of their relatives, and the survivors left warheads to prepare for revenge, and turned their heads to the inexplicable Zhang Yun.

"Okay, there is no more evidence, so stop guessing and keep searching."

Zuo Zhong, who was watching the play, seemed to have guessed what they were thinking, interrupted everyone's speculation with his words, and watched with a calm expression, the good show is always behind, isn't it.

It didn't take long for a number of spies to discover several suspicious items one after another, including top-secret information about the fruit party targeting the underground party hidden in soap, and underground party leaflets wrapped in clothes.

Let alone the people from the Secret Service, Wen Yuqing and Wang Weiqing had nothing to say. They stared at Zhang Yun. If it weren't for the presence of other people, they would have eaten each other alive.

Zuo Zhong read the flyer and handed it to Gu Qi. Of course he put these things. Even if there is no space, as the deputy director, finding an opportunity to secretly put some evidence is a breeze.

It is nothing more than leaving time for action between the sealing and opening of the evidence. As for the seal, the official seal is placed in the drawer of his office. He has as many copies as he wants, and he can print as many as he wants.

The warheads were fired from the weapons left behind by the elite gang of banana men in Hong Kong City. The Secret Service had not registered, and no one was killed. It was a mad dog on the outskirts of Jinling who made a sacrifice for the anti-Japanese cause.

Leaflets are simpler. When the Nine-Headed Beetle King Aofu was killed, the underground party printing factory left a lot of them.

After thinking about it step by step, he walked up to the flustered Zhang Yun, and after a few seconds of silence, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the other party's collar, and scolded him viciously.

"Tell me, who is your superior?"

"I... I'm really a spy!"

Zhang Yun was about to pee out of fear, his mind would be a little confused, God knows why his contact person became an underground party, could it be that his real client is dissidents.

"Okay, I'm still stubborn. You underground party members will not die until you reach the Yellow River. Today I want to see how hard your bones are. Return to Youguang. Treat our guests well and be more enthusiastic!"

Zuo Zhong slowly let go of his hand, and patted Zhang Yun's face with a sullen expression: "When you get here, your life is mine. Whenever I want you to die, you have to die. Do it!"

"Okay, deputy director!"

Gui Youguang heard the order, grinning grinningly raised the steel whip and swung it vigorously. The sharp steel wire instantly hit Zhang Yun's skin, making a crisp sound, and blood splashed several meters away.

Zhang Yun almost fainted from the pain, and kept begging for mercy: "Ah, spare me, I'm a spy."

There are a few tough guys who can be traitors. If he can endure this pain, he will not be easily instigated by the Japanese.

"Oh, okay, I respect you for being a man, and I promise to entertain you with the best craftsmanship."

Gui Youguang's tone was full of admiration, and while lamenting how long it had been since he had encountered such a tough-talking subject, he began to help Zhang Yun loosen his muscles and bones.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Ah, forgive me, forgive me."
