My spy diary

Chapter 360 Rebellion (asking for monthly ticket)

The night was hazy, and drizzling rain was falling from the gray sky. Several black cars suddenly stopped on the drizzling street.

Several muscular plainclothes officers got out of the cars in front and behind. They looked around nervously with serious faces. After making sure there was no danger, a leader walked to the side of a car in the middle and whispered a few words.

The car door opened, and Li Shijun, wearing a windbreaker and a top hat, got out of the car. Surrounded by a group of guards, he quickly walked into an inconspicuous building in front of him.

"Director." As soon as he stepped into the hall, several plainclothes officers came up to greet him respectfully.

"Recruited?"

"not yet."

Li Shijun stopped and stared at him expressionlessly.

The plainclothes officer looked terrified:
"Without the director's order, we dare not use torture on our own."

Li Shijun snorted and went straight to the interrogation room.

In the eerie and damp interrogation room, a well-mannered middle-aged man was chained to the interrogation room, with his head hung, motionless.

Li Shijun looked at him for a few times and pinched the man's chin:

"You should know who I am and why you were brought here."

The middle-aged man looked very tired. He looked up, glanced at him, and closed his eyes directly.

Li Shijun smiled contemptuously, picked up the notebook on the table and read:

"Li Yuanmu, 34 years old, graduated from Shanghai University with a degree in accounting. Coincidentally, we are alumni.

In the past three years, you have only been working as an accountant in a company called Huiyuan Trading, but at home, not only is there a telephone installed, but your wardrobe is filled with woolen suits, leather coats, and even your pajamas are silk. Oh, and you even have a private car.
Did you embezzle money, or do you get two salaries for one job? I guess your organization gave you the funds.

The Red Party is not that generous, so tell me, are you affiliated with the Military Control Commission or the Central Control Commission?"

Li Yuanmu's face changed slightly, but he lowered his head and did not answer.

Li Shijun continued, "We have been keeping an eye on you for a long time. You are an ordinary accountant, but you often go in and out of luxury hotels, eat steaks and drink red wine. Who else should we suspect if not you? If we suspect you, you may be arrested.

So, in order to be prepared and not to alert the enemy, I let Miss Li Xiumei meet you by chance, until she lives in your house and finds the radio transmitter you hid under the cupboard.

Haha, let me give you a suggestion, or advice, don't talk to strangers, and don't bring strange women into your home. "

Li Yuanmu suddenly raised his head, his face pale, and endless regret surged in his heart.

three days ago.

Li Yuanmu was dining in a western restaurant when he seemed to sense a pair of eyes looking at him. It was a graceful cheongsam girl with fashionable curly hair sitting diagonally behind him.

Their eyes met, and Li Yuanmu quickly looked away.

He lowered his head and ate a few mouthfuls of food. When he looked up again, he felt that gaze again.

Li Yuanmu understood this kind of look. It was a look of loneliness and desire, just like the burning desire a man feels when he sees the woman he likes and wants to possess her for himself.

Li Yuanmu's wife and children are all in the mountain city. He hasn't had any one-on-one contact with the opposite sex for a long time. When he was stared at by the opposite sex, especially by a beautiful woman, he couldn't help feeling a strange feeling in his heart.

But as a hidden agent, he still reminded himself to stay calm.

Thinking of this, Li Yuanmu hurried to the bathroom, hoping to wash his face and calm his restless heart.

When he came out of the bathroom, the cheongsam girl happened to be walking towards the bathroom.

In the narrow passage in front of the sink, out of gentlemanly manner, Li Yuanmu leaned against the wall to make way for her.

The woman's charming and slightly shy gaze was instantly within reach, and even closer than her gaze was her plump breasts outlined by the cheongsam.

A few naughty strands of hair gently brushed across Li Yuanmu's chin, making his face and heart itchy.

Accompanied by a scent of perfume and the sound of high heels, two long, slender legs flashed, the sound of a door closing was heard behind her, and the beauty disappeared from sight.

Li Yuanmu was distracted. He sniffed and smelled the remaining fragrance in the air, as if he was still reluctant to leave.

This is just an episode.

Li Yuanmu went back to eat. After the girl came out of the bathroom, she asked the waiter to pay the bill and left.

Li Yuanmu was a little disappointed, thinking that she was just a passing stranger in his life. But when he paid the bill and left the western restaurant, he found that the girl was waiting for a car at the corner.

She seemed a little cold, with her arms folded, her back looking lonely.

He hesitated for a while, but still walked forward:
"Hello, are you alone?"

The girl turned around and saw that it was Li Yuanmu who was talking. A vague smile appeared on her face, as if she saw through his purpose of approaching her and chatting her up.

She nodded politely: "Hello."

Li Yuanmu looked around and said:
"There are few rickshaws here, how about I give you a ride?"

The woman looked at him and smiled: "No need."

Li Yuanmu was a little disappointed, and said after a pause:

"okay, bye."

The girl turned around, took a few steps forward, waved and called out to a rickshaw that had just picked up a passenger not far away.

Just as she got on the rickshaw and it was about to start moving, she suddenly turned her head and said to Li Yuanmu who had been watching her:

"I go to the Paramount every night. If you have time, you can buy me a drink."

The rickshaw left, leaving only Li Yuanmu, who seemed a little fascinated, standing on the roadside.

After finishing work today, Li Yuanmu returned to his lonely home and couldn't help but think of the figure that he could not forget.

'I go to the Paramount every night. If you have time, you can buy me a drink.'

Thinking of this, Li Yuanmu could no longer suppress the urge in his heart. At this moment, he threw all the discipline and danger out of his mind.

He drove to the Paramount at lightning speed, passed through the noisy crowd, and finally found the person he was looking for. The curly-haired girl was indeed sitting on a chair in front of the bar with her legs crossed, drinking.

The two of them then drank one glass after another, and through chatting, he learned that her husband died in the Japanese bombing, and she made a living by renting out the unused house in their home.

She learned that he was divorced and now alone.

Soon, the slightly drunk girl leaned on Li Yuanmu's shoulder. He helped her into his car and stepped on the accelerator.

The man has feelings and the woman has intentions, everything will come naturally.
A few minutes later, Li Yuanmu fell into a deep sleep on the big bed in his house, but the girl, who had been murmuring slightly drunk, suddenly opened her eyes.

She quickly searched Li Yuanmu's house carefully until she found the radio, and then she made a phone call.

Then, the drunk Li Yuanmu was taken to interrogation room No. 76.

"Tell me, once you enter Cell 76, if you don't confess something, you won't get out alive."

Li Yuanmu suddenly said, "I'm just a radio operator. I don't know anything."

"You're a radio operator."

Li Shijun looked at him meaningfully and grabbed his hand.

"Your fingers are long and slender, with calluses on key areas, which fits the profile of a radio operator. But a radio operator's life is not as carefree as yours. If you don't tell me, I will have to torture you."

Li Yuanmu shuddered all over and glanced at Li Shijun out of the corner of his eye.

"I'm serious. If your hands, which hold pens and press keys, are destroyed, you will never have the chance to touch a woman's delicate skin again.

Li Xiumei tastes good, right? Ding Mocun, the old pervert, wanted to make a move on her, but he didn't succeed. You got a good deal this time.

As long as you are willing to cooperate, I will give her to you and arrange your wedding night tonight, how about it?"

Li Yuanmu hesitated for a while, moved his mouth, and shook his head.

Seeing this, Li Shijun smiled contemptuously: "No matter whether they are spies from the Military Control Commission or the Central Control Commission, no one has escaped from my hands. If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished by punishment."

As soon as he finished speaking, two plainclothes officers with ferocious faces came up holding iron whips covered with thorns.

"Don't use the whip, just use electric shock. Be careful not to hurt her precious hands."

"Yes, Director."

The plainclothes officer smiled cruelly, threw away the whip, pulled two telephone wires, connected one end to Li Yuanmu and the other end to the switch.

As the switch was pressed, Li Yuanmu's whole body trembled, and he immediately twitched and screamed.

"Go ahead, increase the current."

In an instant, Li Yuanmu began to tremble even more violently. Smoke of burnt skin came out of his body, and a pungent smell filled the interrogation room.

Li Shijun stared at him intently. Just as he was about to ask his men to increase the current, he heard Li Yuanmu's mouth trembling and said very weakly:
"I will cooperate."

The plainclothes officer released the switch button. Li Yuanmu trembled all over, gasping for breath, and slumped on the interrogation chair. He closed his eyes and seemed to be falling asleep.

Li Shijun said impatiently: "Hurry up and tell me!"

Li Yuanmu opened his heavy eyelids and looked at them:

"My family is in the mountain city. If I betray them, they will die, so I can't say anything."

"Asshole, how dare you lie to Director Li?" A plainclothes officer was so angry that he rushed up and slapped Li Yuanmu in the face, causing blood foam to flow from the corners of his mouth.

Li Yuanmu spat out a mouthful of blood foam, looking serious:

"I didn't lie to you. I really couldn't bear it just now, but for the sake of my wife and children, I couldn't say anything."

"Outwardly powerful but inwardly weak!"

Li Shijun sneered. Husband and wife are birds of a feather. When disaster strikes, they fly away separately. If family is really that important, he would not hook up with other women.

"Increase the current and continue."

The next moment, as the plainclothes officer pressed the button, Li Yuanmu trembled all over and screamed hysterically until he fainted.

But how could Li Shijun let him go so easily? With a wave of his hand, the plainclothes officer took a basin of ice water and poured it on him.

Li Yuanmu woke up suddenly. He was exhausted from the torture and didn't even have the strength to open his eyes.

Li Shijun lit a cigarette, came up to him, and said sincerely:
"I underestimated you. You are indeed an amazing agent. I admire you very much."

Li Yuanmu raised his eyelids with great effort and said:

"You were able to catch me and trap me, which shows that you are amazing. You are worthy of being the head of No. 76."

"To be honest, I may not be able to withstand such torture."

"I don't know how long I can hold out, but my son is only three years old."

"Worried about your family? What if I help you get your family over from the mountain city?"

Li Yuanmu looked at him in surprise, hesitated, and said nothing.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Li Shijun put out his cigarette, sighed and said:
"Although I admire you very much, you are an anti-Japanese activist. My duty does not allow me to let you go, and you can't provide any information, so I have no choice but to execute you.

You won't blame me, will you?"

Li Yuanmu licked his cracked lips:
"No, no, come on, I'll be free if I die."

"Why bother? We Chinese have a saying that goes, if you have green mountains, you will have no worries about firewood. But if you die, you will have nothing."

Li Shijun sighed and took a gun from the plainclothes officer, then slowly put it against Li Yuanmu's temple.

Li Yuanmu trembled all over and his eyes became moist.

"Think about it, your son is only three years old, he doesn't even know his father's name. Oh, by the way, maybe your wife will remarry soon, and your son will change his last name, and he won't even know he has a father like you. Forget it, why are you saying all this?"

Li Yuanmu trembled even more violently.

Seeing that this move had worked, Li Shijun showed a hint of pride and called a plainclothes officer to hold Li Yuanmu's head:

"In that case, I'm sorry, Mr. Li."

As he spoke, he slowly turned on the safety and pulled the trigger.

The sound of the firing pin rubbing against the gun body was particularly harsh in the silent interrogation room. Li Yuanmu began to tremble, even more violently than when he was being electrocuted just now.

At this moment, he broke down and couldn't hold back his tears anymore, he burst into tears:
"Why. Why did you arrest me? Why did you fight? I could have been a teacher, an ordinary person, living with my wife and children every day, without having to live in fear and sneaking around like a rat. It's all your fault. It's all the Japanese' fault."

A plainclothes officer wanted to step forward and yell at him to confess, but Li Shijun stopped him with a look. He patted Li Yuanmu on the shoulder and said gently:
"Cry, Mr. Li, it's better to vent it out."

Li Yuanmu rebelled after all.

A few minutes later, he was taken to the preferential treatment room of No. 76, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and sat on the sofa in a daze.

Li Shijun personally offered him a cup of hot tea:
"Take a sip. A hot bath will make you feel better, right? Don't blame me. It's all routine."

Li Yuanmu did not take the tea, and stared at Li Shijun with his dull eyes:
“We agreed that you would promise to bring my family over.

Also, I want $100,000.

Besides, I will work for you for one year, and after one year, I will take the money and go abroad."

Li Shijun smiled and said, "It is an honor for me to receive Mr. Li's help. I will definitely fulfill the conditions I promised you. Please rest assured."

He sneered in his heart and thought, once you get on board the No. 76 ship, no matter how powerful you are, you can't escape from the palm of his hand, Tathagata Buddha.

Li Yuanmu was silent for a while, took a sip of tea, and let out a long sigh: "Ask, what do you want to know?"

Li Shijun's eyes immediately lit up with excitement:

"What is your real identity? Your position? Your affiliation?"

Li Yuanmu: "Li Kaifeng, the telecommunications inspector of the Southeast Region of the Military Control Commission."

Li Shijun was stunned. Although he had already estimated the identity of the middle-aged man in front of him and felt that he was not an ordinary person, he still couldn't help being shocked at this moment.

He used to have a low status. After betraying the Red Party, he joined the Central Bureau of Investigation. His highest position was just a team leader. In addition, the Military Bureau of Investigation and the Central Bureau of Investigation were enemies, so he knew very little about the Military Bureau of Investigation.

But after the establishment of No. 76, with the increasing number of traitors from the Military Intelligence Bureau, especially after Chen Gongshu's betrayal, the "Inside Story of the Blue Shirts Society" was published in newspapers, and the mystery of the Military Intelligence Bureau was gradually unveiled.

Chen Gongshu confessed that among the eight departments of the Military Control Commission, apart from the Intelligence Department and the Operations Department, the most important department was the Telecommunications Department controlled by Wei Daming.

Li Kaifeng is the second best telecommunications expert in the Military Intelligence Bureau after Wei Daming.

He once assisted Wei Daming in compiling the master code book for the Military Intelligence Bureau, and was also a teacher at the Military Intelligence Bureau's telecommunications training class.

Most of the Military Control Commission's radio operators were his subordinates or students, so he was familiar with most of their radio operators' sending techniques and accents, and could tell who was communicating with whom just by listening.

Moreover, he was familiar with all the conventional methods of calling, informing, and communicating, and some of them were even formulated by him.

If such a person can be used for his own benefit, the codes used by general military and political agencies will be like plain text to him. Even the special codes compiled by the Military Intelligence Bureau can be deciphered by him with his experience and skills.

And at this moment, this person was sitting right in front of him.

Li Shijun couldn't contain his surprise:

"Are you really Li Kaifeng?"

Li Kaifeng nodded:

"Replacement guaranteed."

Li Shijun smiled, a contented smile.

"Excuse me, Mr. Li." Li Shijun stood up and bowed with a serious expression.

"It is an honor to have your help, Shijun. I will definitely fulfill the conditions I promised you. Please rest assured. From today on, you will be the director of the Telecommunications Department of the Special Agent Headquarters."

Li Kaifeng was slightly stunned, and quickly stood up and nodded. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Li Shijun's eyes turn and he smiled:

"Oh, right, No. 76 has detected some codes from the secret radio stations of the Military Control Commission and the Red Party these past two days, but my men are all good-for-nothings, brave but not smart enough, and have been unable to decipher the codes.
Come on, I believe in your ability."

Li Shijun's smile contained admiration, but there was also a hidden message:

Only if you show your true ability and prove your talent can I fulfill my promise.

Without waiting for Li Kaifeng to refuse, he clapped his hands, called his secretary and gave him some instructions.

Soon the secretary came in with some telegram papers, pens, rough paper for verification, an abacus and other tools.

Li Kaifeng took the telegram and the pen, smiled smugly, pushed aside the rough paper and abacus, and began to read the telegram attentively.

Soon he threw aside several telegrams from the Red Party and started writing and drawing on a telegram from the Military Control Commission.

As he wrote, lines of words appeared on the paper.

"This is a telegram between the Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters and the Shanghai Experimental Zone. It was sent to the district chief, Zhang Yi."

Li Shijun took the telegram with half belief and half doubt, glanced at it, and his eyes became gloomy.

Zhang Yi? He disappeared for so long, and he’s still in Shanghai?

The Military Control Commission and the Song Agency reached an agreement. What agreement was reached?
In addition, will the Shancheng Finance Department send someone to Shanghai with checks to be responsible for the transaction?

He didn't want to get involved in Japanese affairs, nor did he dare to get involved, but what about the "special person" in the Ministry of Finance in this mountain city?

The Shanghai District of the Military Control Commission will definitely send someone to pick up this person. Maybe this will be an opportunity to capture the mysterious Shanghai Experimental Zone in one fell swoop!

He pondered in his heart, his eyes stayed on Li Kaifeng's face for a few seconds, and said sincerely:

“An expert can tell whether something is good or not once he makes a move.

"Having Director Li join No. 76 is like finding a treasure! I will arrange for someone to rescue your family right now."

"Thank you."

"This is what I should do. It's late at night, Director Li, go to bed early. If you need anything, just tell my secretary."

Li Shijun gave instructions and walked out of the preferential room with a smile.

As soon as he went out, his face had returned to its usual state, showing no emotion.

"Have the action team gather in my office immediately."
