Chapter 55 Anomalies Found
Xu Qingyun’s torture was indeed harsh enough, but depending on who was being punished, Xu Qingshi even felt that it was light in light of the heinous crimes committed by these Japanese.
According to their confessions, all three of them had killed Chinese people, and at least ten people were killed.
The Manchurian Railway trains its operational personnel and has special combat courses, in which they are trained to kill people.
During the interrogation just now, Xu Qingshi couldn't even hold back and took action himself. Not only him, but not many people who could hold back, they all took action and beat the three spies until they howled like wolves.
"Brother, you go back first, I will entertain them well."
Xu Qingyun said with a smile. Xu Qingshi glanced at him, nodded slightly, and left with his men outside.
Nanjing, Military Intelligence Division.
Qi Wu came to the office with the message.
Virgo is sulking right now. Several sub-stations are asking for money every day. The headquarters asks them for results. They either say they are investigating, or they say the spies are cunning and there is nothing to gain for the time being.
Virgo wants the Japanese radio code book most, but has yet to get one.
"Virgo, I'm calling from Tianjin."
"Tianjin, have they made any new progress?"
Virgo immediately stretched out his hand, grabbed the telegram in his hand, looked at it carefully from top to bottom.
The telegram was sent by Xu Zhanjie. After taking a few glances, he was stunned. The case had indeed made progress. They locked the hidden identity of the Japanese spy team leader and could catch him as long as he showed up.
The key is not this case. Tianjin Station kept silent and arrested five more Japanese spies?
Although he was from Manchuria, he was confirmed to be a Japanese agent and a deputy section chief was arrested.
"Okay, very good."
Virgo said two things in a row, and Qi Wu smiled and said nothing. When he received the telegram, he knew that this message would make Virgo's face turn from gloomy to bright.
"It's Xu Qingyun again, Zhanjie has accepted a good student."
He noticed that the case was solved by Xu Qingyun, and it only took half a day, or half an hour, to find the person, and the remaining time was spent on arresting the person. This efficiency made him feel particularly happy.
"If you hadn't sent him to Tianjin, he wouldn't have had such good luck."
Qi Wu is the best at flattering. With a simple sentence, he can turn Xu Zhanjie's contribution into Virgo's command.
"Haha, as long as you can catch him, encourage them, and ask them not to slack off and try to catch the team leader. He must have a radio station, so he must get the code book."
Virgo laughed heartily, Qi Wu nodded slightly, and went out to call Tianjin back.
Tianjin is really up to date this time. The previous case belonged entirely to the police station, but this time it was a joint effort to solve the case.
Xu Qingyun was pretty good. Including the previous five and the two captured by Tianjin Station, he had captured twelve spies by himself.
The entire Military Intelligence Department is unparalleled in terms of talent.
At the Tianjin Station, Xu Zhanjie received a call back from the headquarters, praising them highly and agreeing to the additional funds he requested for stationmaster Wu.
Wu Shaoshu cried for help and said that during this period, the Tianjin Station was spending a lot of money to investigate traitors and spies. He hoped that the headquarters would allocate more funds. The director was very happy and approved it directly.
Xu Zhanjie knew the situation best. The Tianjin station cost a lot, but it was completely incomparable to the amount they wanted.
But he didn't lose. It was the money he got for his help. Wu Shaoshu knew what to do if he wasn't stupid. This time he came to Tianjin, he got both people and money, and gained a lot.
Good news came from the hospital. Akiyama Yukihei's shot missed his vital point and he was rescued.
Being rescued was not his luck, but the beginning of his nightmare.
When he is almost recovered, Xu Qingyun will entertain this 'friend' from afar with the greatest 'enthusiasm'.
In the French Concession, Toshiki Kawada returned home for a routine inspection.
There was quite a lot of noise during the day today, and shots were fired. With reporters' reports, he had already heard a lot of rumors. Due to confidentiality reasons, the reporter did not know that the person arrested was a spy. They got the news that they had caught the murderer of the massacre in the suburbs.
The police caught the culprit in just half a day, and the newspapers gave them a lot of praise.
Toshiki Kawada didn't think so.
From a few words, he discovered something unusual.
It was not the local police who arrested people, but people in plainclothes.
There are rumors that the arrested person shouted in Japanese when the accident occurred. When the hotel arrested people, the guests next to Akiyama Yukihei and others were not cleared. Some people did hear their shouts during the fight.
The captured spy shouted in Japanese in a panic.
Xie Yongshan told them to keep it secret, but because they caught the person at that time, they just gave simple instructions, but someone was loud and told the matter.
After hearing this, Toshiki Kawada immediately inquired from many sources.
It was true that they were arrested because of the family massacre, in which five members of the family were killed. This incident was a big deal, and many people knew about it and couldn't fake it.
Toshiki Kawada deliberately went to the victim's home to get the exact answer.
But no one knew where the murderers came from. He didn't go to the scene of the crime. He almost understood the whole process just by listening to others on the roadside.
The gangsters entered the victim's house at night, killed the whole family, had dinner at home, and then left.
Ordinary gangsters are not that bold. After all, the suburbs are very close to the city. If there is any situation, the police or even the garrison may come to encircle and suppress them.
Besides, no money was lost, just killing.
This style of doing things is completely in line with the habits of those reckless men in the Northeast.
It was normal for Mantie to send people to retaliate after receiving his information. Calculating the time, they probably arrived at this time.
"Idiot, idiot."
Pulling open the roof, Toshiki Kawada cursed and climbed up to the small attic.
He was now 80% sure that those arrested were Manchurian agents, and the number should be three to five. He had not heard the specific number. This was the result of his inference.
It is very likely that all the people who came to Manchuria this time will be wiped out.
It was a big deal, and he had to report it to his superiors as soon as possible. The chief section chief would definitely be satisfied with such information. The earlier they knew about it than other colleagues, the more it would prove the power of their special high-level courses.
When sending the report, Toshiki Kawada did not fully explain what he said. He only said that it was 50% possible and that Mantetsu would investigate everything on its own.
After sending the telegram, Toshiki Kawada quickly shut down the radio station and cleaned up all traces.
In just ten minutes, Director Noguchi Takeshi of the Intelligence Division of the Manchuria Railway Investigation Department received a call in his office.
"Noguchi-kun, we just received intelligence that three to five people were arrested in Tianjin. Have you sent anyone to Tianjin?"
The call came from his friend in the Information Office of the Special High School. Noguchi was shocked and immediately replied: "I did send five people."
"Where are they now?"
"They didn't bring a radio. I don't know exactly where it is. It's almost reached Tianjin."
Noguchi replied casually. There was silence for a while, and he sighed softly: "Your people may have been arrested."
"How is it possible to be caught? I sent Akiyama this time. You know his abilities." Noguchi said anxiously.
"I know, just wait for my news."
The person on the other end of the phone sighed. He was from the same hometown as Noguchi and Akiyama, and he knew Akiyama well. At this time, he felt that Kawada's speculation was very likely to be true, and that the people sent by Mantetsu were more likely to be in trouble.
