My spy diary

Chapter 328: Catching Bugs (asking for monthly tickets)

At ten past midnight, the whole city was unusually quiet.

Zhang Yi, who had just returned from an outing, was sitting quietly on the sofa in deep thought. Under the cold moonlight, his face was half dark and half bright.

Just as he received the intelligence, Chen Sancai, a major general agent of the Military Control Commission, was arrested.

This was also confirmed by a phone call from Liu Junqing, who was in charge of the French Concession Police Station.

In addition, Wang Tianlin's adjutant and guard Ma Hetu, who had been silent for a long time, also brought good news. Chen Moubo, a popular figure around Wang Tianhai, was coming to Shanghai, and the Japanese and No. 76 were going to welcome him.

The banquet was held in the auditorium of the Wang Puppet Special Agent Headquarters on Jisifei Road. Qingqi Qingyin and Qingshui Dongsan of the Mei Agency, Ding Mocun and Li Shijun, the two heads of No. 76, and the so-called five "Central Committee members" of Shanghai of the Wang Puppet Government, Wang Manyun, Cai Hongtian, Gu Jiwu, Ling Xianwen, and Huang Mouxiang all attended the banquet. Wang Tianlin, Chen Mingchu, He Tianfeng, Feng Guozhen and other traitors who had fallen into the water all received invitations.

As the saying goes, even tigers take naps, let alone humans?

Even if Wang Tianlin, this cunning old thief, was cautious and careful, he would inevitably lose his composure when he was having fun and thus fail to take precautions.

So the time to get rid of the thieves is tomorrow, tomorrow night.

After pondering for a while, he stood up and walked to the window, waiting quietly for Monkey and others to arrive.

"Stationmaster."

After a while, Monkey, Qian Xiaosan, Yang Wenxuan and Liu Kui arrived.

Zhang Yi didn't say anything more and went straight to the point, pointing at the map and saying:
"Everyone knows the situation. Wang Tianlin is a shrewd old man. He was in Shanghai and was able to instigate the Qingdao station of the Military Control Commission, causing all the agents in the Qingdao station to turn against us.

If we don't kill him, it won't be enough to appease the hatred in Boss Dai's heart. If we don't kill him, it will be unfair to those brave men who sacrificed their lives. Therefore, for now, we must do everything we can to kill him."

The Military Control Commission’s Qingdao Station also belonged to the North China Region, and the station chief Fu Shengli was also an old subordinate of Wang Tianlin.

Wang Tianlin knew him inside and out and easily found the places he often went to (brothels). Then he sent Agent No. 76 to Qingdao to track and monitor him all the way and soon found Fu Shengli's base.

With the assistance of the Japanese military police, Fu Shengli, his lover, Ding Meizhen, the cashier of Qingdao Station, the chief of general affairs and several operatives were quickly arrested, and guns, ammunition, radios and code books were seized.

With Wang Tianlin as a role model of a traitor, Ding Meizhen proposed to No. 76 after her arrest and before interrogation that she could persuade Fu Shengli to lead all the personnel of Qingdao Station to surrender to No. 76 as long as she and Fu Shengli could regain their freedom and get married.

After Agent No. 76 reported to Li Shijun, Li Shijun readily agreed.

As a result, all members of the Military Control Commission's Qingdao Station defected.

"Tomorrow night is our chance," Zhang Yi planned. "Although killing people in the Japanese Concession and the International Settlement is very risky, we have no choice."

"Our first step is to find a few high grounds with the best range, and then ambush them on the roads they may pass through."

"The second step is to cooperate. Monkey and Qian Xiaosan will be responsible for gathering, communicating, and summarizing intelligence, as well as transferring intelligence to Ma Hetu."

"Yang Wenxuan, you and Liu Kui are responsible for the operation. The action group will be divided into several tactical teams, each with three people. Each team will work together, but will not interfere with each other and will not know about each other."

"This time we have to mobilize all available resources to kill Wang Tianlin and his gang of traitors, and the operation must be completed in one go.
In addition, we must prepare for the worst. If Ma Hetu does not take action in advance, then we will do it ourselves."

"Yes." The four of them nodded solemnly.

"Everyone, go back and prepare. Personnel and weapons must be in place in batches before tomorrow evening. Success or failure depends on this. I hope everyone will cheer up."

"Stationmaster, what's the code name for the operation?"

Zhang Yi thought for a moment and said, "Exterminate the insects."

In the evening, one after another insured cars drove into No. 76 Jessfield Road under the heavy protection of No. 76 plainclothes police and Japanese military police.

The Garden Hall at No. 76 is brightly lit tonight, and filled with the fragrance of flowers.

A group of traitors and pro-Japanese elements dressed up as gentlemen and gathered together, talking freely.

With the arrival of Zhou Moubo, the banquet reached its climax. As people toasted each other, the atmosphere was filled with hypocritical performances and false praises.

Wang Tianlin was wearing his signature white suit and red tie, holding a glass in one hand and holding his wife Wu Jiangyue's hand with the other, as he walked among the crowd with a smile on his face.

Now he has been appointed as the pseudo "Supervisory Committee member", the pseudo "Secret Service Committee" member and the director of the first department of the pseudo "Secret Service Headquarters", and he is in the limelight.

After toasting Chen Moubo, he came to Chen Mingchu, He Tianfeng and others with a glass of wine and asked:

"what's the topic?"

Chen Mingchu: "Brother Tianfeng said that this place is too restrictive, and we are discussing where to go for fun."

"Brother, are you going? The Military Control Commission has been carrying out assassinations everywhere recently. The situation has been tense and the brothers haven't been out much. It's really frustrating. It's a good opportunity to go out and have some fun tonight."

This was exactly what Wang Tianlin wanted. Although Chen Moubo was a popular figure around Wang Tianhai, he had too many literary habits, and his words were evasive and unpleasant. They could not get along at all.

It is enough to be polite when toasting and not offend anyone.

Besides, I've been juggling between several women at home recently, dealing with a lot of trivial matters, and I'm really tired, so it's a good time to go out and get some fresh air.

He immediately said, "What's the point of just a few of us going? Let's invite everyone to come, it will be more lively."

As he spoke, he caught a glimpse of Wang Manyun coming over with a wine glass, and immediately grabbed him:

"Brother Wang Yun, a few of us are going to go dancing and have a great time tonight. Do you want to come?"

Wang Manyun was a little moved, and said hesitantly: "I'll forget it.

Directors Ding and Li asked me to be in charge of the reception tonight. The guests are still in high spirits. If I leave early, it will spoil the fun. You should go ahead."

Wang Tianlin thought that he was afraid of the retaliation of the Military Control Commission and dared not go, so he used the reception work as an excuse and said:
"What are you afraid of? We have our own guards, so let's bring a few more guns. Let's see who dares to touch us. If we really run into the Military Control Commission, we can just take them as our first choice."

"I'm really not afraid. The guests haven't left yet, so how can I leave first?
Well, you guys go first, and call me when you get there, and I’ll come over later.”

Seeing that Wang Manyun was speaking in a serious tone, Wang Tianlin smiled and shook his head. He stopped persuading her and called Chen Mingchu, He Tianfeng, and Feng Guozhen to set off.

The bodyguards that Wang Tianlin brought with him were his adjutants Ma Hetu, Yue Qingjiang and Ding Baoling.

Two black insurance cars drove past the street at a moderate speed, appearing to be very cautious, as if they were on guard against something.

Wang Tianlin was sitting in a car at the back, and his expression was no longer as calm as it was at the banquet.

Even though he had just been drunk and boasted that he would target the Military Control Commission, he knew that it was easier to dodge an open attack than to guard against an arrow from the dark. Feeling guilty, he lifted the window curtain and looked around.

The two major spy organizations of the Military Control Commission in the north and the south were almost destroyed by him alone. Based on his understanding of his former good brother Dai Chunfeng, he now wished to skin him alive and eat his flesh.

Who knows when and in what capacity the killer will suddenly appear?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Ma Hetu who was driving in front and Yue Qingjiang in the passenger seat.

These are the people he brought from North China. They have followed him for many years and have been through many battles. They should be reliable.

But when he glanced at Yue Qingjiang, he couldn't help frowning. Why did this guy act more nervous than him?

Yue Qingjiang sat in the passenger seat, holding the gun tightly in his trembling hands, and peering out the window with a nervous expression.

He was not afraid of the sudden attack from the Military Control Commission's assassins, but he was worried about how they would attack his old superior Wang Tianlin.

He, Ma Hetu and Ding Baoling are sworn brothers, so he already knew the plan of his eldest brother Ma Hetu.

But no matter how good the plan is, it is inevitable to be nervous when the time comes.

"Don't be nervous, this is our territory. Those rats from the Military Control Commission wouldn't dare to act wildly here even if they had the guts." Wang Tianlin noticed his nervousness, leaned over, patted his shoulder, and comforted him.

Yue Qingjiang was thinking about something when the sudden slap startled him and he quickly turned sideways.

This inadvertently pointed the gun at Wang Tianlin.

Before Wang Tianlin could say anything, his wife Wu Jiangyue, who was leaning on his shoulder, screamed in fright.

"What's going on? Cheer up."

Wang Tianlin glared at Yue Qingjiang. He naturally didn't believe that Yue Qingjiang would attack him.

Yue Qingjiang was speechless, smiled awkwardly, and quickly put away the pistol.

Wang Tianlin snorted coldly, comforted Madam Ru, and said nothing more.

A few minutes later, the car followed several cars in front and arrived at the dance hall not far from Jessfield Road.

Although they came here for pleasure, they all felt guilty. Even in the territory of Wang Puppet No. 76, and even though there were Japanese gendarmerie stationed nearby, they did not dare to stay in one place for too long.

After staying in the dance hall for a while, they immediately changed to the Paramount.

After staying for a while, we quickly changed venue again.

Finally, we arrived at the number one casino in western Shanghai - Mega Club.

The Mega Club is huge in scale and luxuriously decorated. Not only is there a dance hall outside, but there is also a VIP reception room behind the gambling table, which is equipped with fine wine, beautiful women, and opium.

As long as you have money and power, everything can be arranged for you.

It was already past curfew, and Wang Tianlin and the others felt that even if the Military Control Commission's spies had discovered their whereabouts, it would be too late to mobilize troops.

Even if there are a few kittens lurking in the International Settlement, they are just some small fry. They are numerous and powerful, so we are not afraid at all.

So everyone let go completely.

The dance hall was bustling with people at this moment.

On both sides of the stage, the performance of the small band has reached a climax.

On the stage, a dozen scantily clad dancers held hands and performed a sexy kicking dance.

Rows of silver, shiny high heels were kicked up in unison to the beat of the music, and the dancers' black stockings were faintly visible under their short skirts.

How could a few drunk men resist such temptation? As soon as the dance ended, Chen Mingchu, He Tianfeng and Feng Guozhen could no longer hold back and asked the dancers they liked to dance with them.

Wang Tianlin also left his wife Ru aside and invited a beautiful girl dressed as a socialite to dance the cha-cha together.

The few of them danced for a few times in a row, and seemed to be still unsatisfied. Led by Wang Tianlin, they went to the VIP reception room to smoke some opium. After they were excited, they went to the ballroom again to start dancing.

What they didn't know was that Zhang Yi, in disguise, was sitting in the darkness of the ballroom, observing quietly.

Finally, after three o'clock, the music in the dance hall stopped abruptly and all the lights on the stage suddenly went out.

When the light came on again, the manager came out and said it was time to close the dance hall.

Wang Tianlin and his friends were tired of playing and were exhausted, so they prepared to leave.

Zhang Yi sat there without moving, just raised his top hat and signaled to Ma Hetu.

Ma Hetu also responded and then immediately returned to Wang Tianlin.

A group of people slowly came out of the dance hall.

At this time, Feng Guozhen was walking in front with a dancer in his arms.

Chen Mingchu and He Tianfeng, both holding cigarettes in their mouths, stared at the dancer's buttocks swaying to the rhythm, and smiled playfully.

A group of bodyguards gathered around their respective customers.

Wang Tianlin walked at the end. His wife Ru was obviously jealous and was losing her temper.

While Wang Tianlin was coaxing the woman, he was looking around vigilantly. Ma Hetu was walking beside him at this moment.

There was a meow of a cat, and Chen Mingchu, who was walking in front, laughed:
"Listen, the cats are meowing, it's spring, hahaha."

He naturally didn't know that this was an action order issued by Zhang Yi.

Now or never.

Ma Hetu's expression turned stern. He pulled out a loaded pistol from his arms and fired two shots at Chen Mingchu and He Tianfeng.

Bang, bang
"Haha. Uh..."

A bullet passed through Chen Mingchu's mouth and directly pierced the back of his neck. He fell down with a look of disbelief on his face.

Another bullet pierced through He Tianfeng's chest, splashing a hideous flower of blood.

Without thinking, this guy fell to the ground and rolled over, shouting desperately.

Hearing the gunshots, Feng Guozhen, who was walking in front with the dancer in his arms, turned back in shock. Seeing his two accomplices fall down, he immediately pulled the dancer to protect himself.

Logically speaking, Ma Hetu's attack was unexpected and the person who should have been hit first should have been Wang Tianlin, who was closest to him, but he obviously hesitated.

Once the gunshot rang out, it was too late to fire the third shot. Not only were there many bodyguards in between, but as He Tianfeng fell to the ground, his bodyguards had already pulled out their guns and pointed them at Ma Hetu.

At this moment, there was a bang and a spark appeared on the roof next door. He Tianfeng's bodyguard was sniped and fell to the ground as soon as he pulled the trigger.

"Sniper!" someone shouted, some fired back, and some ran for their lives.

But just as they ran a few steps, they saw several groups of people rushing over from both sides of the street, and suddenly, gunshots rang out.

As for Wang Tianlin, when the gunshot was heard, he realized that it was his bodyguard Ma Hetu who fired the shot. The cunning old man immediately pulled his wife Ru to the front and then crawled towards the dance hall.

But as soon as he came out of the revolving door, he ran into someone head-on.

"Director Wang, where are you going?"

Hearing this voice, Wang Tianlin trembled all over and the corners of his mouth twitched. Obviously he recognized Zhang Yi's voice.

"Deputy Director Zhang, listen to me, I am actually an undercover agent planted by Boss Dai in No. 76."

"You think I'm a three-year-old?"

Zhang Yi sneered, not wanting to waste time talking to him. He directly put the gun to his forehead and said in a sonorous and powerful voice:
"Traitors must be killed by everyone!"

As he said that, he pulled the trigger and the bullet pierced Wang Tianlin's head. He died on the spot with blood splattered everywhere.
