Chapter 366: The Aftermath (3)
Jiang Shiwei said: "Whether you are a prisoner or not, you should know it in your heart, but I am not afraid to tell you that we have found several secret compartments in your bedroom, and things have also been searched." As he spoke, he took out a small notebook from his pocket, handed it to Bai Tassel, and said, "This is what you wrote, you can flip through it." ”
In fact, if you don't turn it over, Bai Tassel knows that it is his own record book, as an intelligence officer, he should not have left any documents, but first, there are always some important materials and events to be recorded; second, Bai Tassel thinks that it is absolutely safe in Yang Yuxin's house, and no one will dare to come to search, so he doesn't care, but he didn't expect to be searched.
Of course, being brought here, Bai Tassel was basically mentally prepared, so he didn't have a surprised look, and said: "Since I have been searched out by you, I can't deny it, what are you going to do with me?"
Jiang Shiwei said: "It depends on your performance, you are a Japanese spy, and you will definitely be punished, but if you can honestly confess and cooperate with our investigation, we will also consider giving you a lenient punishment, and you did not kill Yang Yuxin's family, we will also consider this as appropriate." Of course, I can also tell you in the first place, no matter what the final outcome is, we will let you give birth to the child, and if you can't raise him, we will also raise him. ”
Bai Tassel lowered his head, subconsciously put his hand on his lower abdomen, and said, "They don't know my identity, so I hope this child can be handed over to them to raise." ”
Jiang Shiwei said: "If we can confirm that Yang Yuxin's family does not know your identity, of course your child will be handed over to their family to raise, after all, this is also Yang Yuxin's child." ”
Bai Tassel said: "Okay, what do you need me to explain?"
Jiang Shiwei said: "Give your real name and experience, including the experience of being a spy with us, all explain clearly." ”
It turned out that Bai Tassel's original name was Keiko Ishikawa, who was born in an ordinary farming family in a small village in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, and when she was 12 years old, her parents died, and the villagers sent her to a relief society in Japan. However, this relief society is not really a charity, but an intelligence agency of the Japanese War Department, which specializes in collecting orphans for training and training them to become intelligence agents. Because intelligence agencies believe that orphans have no father or mother, no family to worry about, it is easier to control and educate.
Bai Tassel lived in the relief society for 8 years, and in addition to learning cultural knowledge, he also learned various techniques, including some indescribable techniques, and was also instilled with the idea of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, and martyrdom.
In 1901, Bai Tassel was selected by an officer named Naoto Miyamoto to receive special training from him, mainly in Chinese and some knowledge required of undercover agents.
After about one and a half years of training, Bai Tassel was sent to Shanghai by Miyamoto Naotaka and ordered to contact overseas Chinese. The name White Tassel, as well as the identity information, were arranged by Naoto Miyamoto. Moreover, Miyamoto Naoto also arranged the origin of the white tassel to prevent the traverser from investigating. Almost seamlessly furnished.
Speaking of this, Jiang Shiwei suddenly asked: "When Miyamoto Naoto chose people, did he choose only one woman, or did he have other women?"
Bai Tassel said: "At that time, a total of 4 women were selected, and we trained together, but I was the first to receive a formal task, and then the others received the task, so I don't know." ”
Jiang Shiwei said: "You were chosen to be the first to perform the mission because your training performance was the best?"
Bai Tassel shook his head and said, "At that time, the performance of several of us was similar, and no one was particularly outstanding, the reason for choosing me is strange, it seems that I look like a person, right?"
Jiang Shiwei heard this, and immediately said, "Can you explain it in detail?"
Bai Tassel glanced at him and said, "I remember that Miyamoto gathered the four of us together and asked another person, 'Do you look like it?', and that person replied, 'It's a little similar, and it would be better to put on makeup and change your hairstyle', so I think it probably means that I am like one of you, and after I came into contact with him, he seemed to have said something like that." ”
Jiang Shiwei and Liu Lantao glanced at each other, and Jiang Shiwei said, "Okay, go on." ”
Later, under an accidental circumstance, Bai Tassel got acquainted with Yang Yuxin, and soon attracted Yang Yuxin, was admitted to the house, and passed the political assessment. And Miyamoto Naoto was very satisfied with the results achieved by Bai Tassel, not only rewarded her, but also promoted Bai Tassel's position, and instructed Bai Tassel to lurk well, gain Yang Yuxin's trust, and not to act drastically.
So Bai Tassel stayed by Yang Yuxin's side, and became Yang Yuxin's concubine with peace of mind, first, she was very deferential to Yang Yuxin and Jiang Yi, and secondly, Bai Tassel did have a certain cultural knowledge, which could help Yang Jiang do a lot of things, and successfully gained the trust of Yang Yuxin's family.
From 1904 onwards, White Tassel began to provide information to Naoto Miyamoto. Of course, because Bai Tassel lived in Shanghai with Yang Yuxin, the amount and value of the information that could be collected was limited, but Miyamoto Naoto did not blame Bai Tassel, on the contrary, he also asked Bai Tassel to pay attention to protect himself and not to expose it. In 1904, the biggest achievement of the white tassel was to cover many people to obtain official status in the new area of Shanghai. Including Ma Ruicheng and other people, a group of people have gained a foothold in the Shanghai New Area, and the white tassel has also played a certain role.
At the beginning of 1905, Bai Tassel received a new task, Miyamoto Naoto planned to launch a large-scale attack in the Shanghai New Area in May and June, demanding that the damage caused to the Shanghai New Area be as great as possible, and this operation was personally commanded by Miyamoto Naoto in the public concession, and the White Tassel was responsible for collecting intelligence and understanding the movements of the Shanghai New Area.
Liu Lantao, Yang Yuxin and others planned to arrest Ma Ruicheng and encircle and suppress Ma Ruicheng's mansion, that is, Bai Tassel was transmitted to Miyamoto Zhituo at the very time, although Yang Yuxin did not say it directly at home, but Bai Tassel was good at observing words and feelings, and he eavesdropped on the conversation between Yang Yuxin and Jiang Yi through the listening device, so he couldn't hide it from her. After Miyamoto Naoto received the news of the white tassel, he immediately decided to launch it in advance, and the task given to the white tassel was to kill Yang Yuxin's family before the time of launch, and then assassinate overseas Chinese in the dormitory area, the more killing, the better.
When he said this, Bai Tassel stopped talking, so Jiang Shiwei said: "But you just knocked Yang Yuxin's family unconscious, but didn't kill them, why is this?"
Bai Tassel lowered his head, and after a long while, he said: "I don't know, I originally decided to carry out the order, but when it came time to start, I somehow couldn't do it, so I had to knock them all unconscious." ”
Jiang Shiwei's gaze swept her lower abdomen and said, "Is it because you are pregnant with Yang Yuxin's child and have true feelings for him?"
Bai Tassel was silent for a long time, and said, "I don't know, maybe." ”
Jiang Shiwei said again: "Did you report your pregnancy to that Miyamoto Naoto?"
Bai Tassel shook his head, and said with a somewhat dazed expression: "I don't know." ”
In fact, when she started to work as an undercover agent, Bai Tassel was still very clear about her position, and she was determined to serve Japan and die at the expense of her life, which is also the education she has always received. During the undercover period, although Yang Yuxin was very fond of her, Bai Tassel did not change his original intention, and constantly reminded himself that he should be loyal to Japan and the emperor. After learning that she was pregnant, although the white tassel did not change her mind, she consciously concealed it from Miyamoto Naoto. And after completing this task, he plans to return to Japan, quit the intelligence agency, give birth to this child, and raise the child by himself.
And after receiving the order to kill Yang Yuxin's family, Bai Tassel's heart did struggle for a long time, although in the end she still made up her mind to be loyal to the country, but when it came time to really do it, Bai Tassel hesitated again, and she still couldn't do it in the end. had no choice but to knock Yang Yuxin and the others unconscious, and did not assassinate the other traversers. And in the midst of Bai Tassel's hesitation, the sabotage operation launched by the Japanese against the Shanghai New Area had failed. Although the white tassel did not go out in the room, he could also hear the gunfire outside.
In fact, according to Miyamoto's plan, this operation was actually a suicidal operation, and the participants did not intend to return alive, so the participants basically died, and whether it succeeded or not depended on the degree of damage to the Shanghai New Area. But Bai Tassel's mentality has changed, and it just became a psychological excuse for Bai Tassel not to kill Yang Yuxin and others.
At this time, someone came to Yang Yuxin and tried to break in, and in a hurry, Bai Tassel decided to pretend to be unconscious, so he mixed it up first. Bai Tassel also knew that there were many loopholes in this arrangement, but first, he was in a hurry to arrange it, and second, Bai Tassel thought that Yang Yuxin was the leader of the Shanghai New Area, and no one would dare to search his house, so he didn't care.
It was Jiang Shiwei who came out this time, his level was higher than Yang Yuxin, and he came from Qingdao, so he didn't have these scruples, and he found the secret of the white tassel after a search.
was brought here, Bai Tassel knew that her identity had been revealed, but at this time she hadn't thought about whether to deny it to death or confess, and before asking, Jiang Shiwei promised Bai Tassel that she would be allowed to give birth to the child, and it could be handed over to Yang Yuxin's family to raise, and finally opened the gap in Bai Tassel's heart, so she revealed her life experience.
After finishing speaking, Bai Tassel said: "That's all for my situation, what else do you have to ask?"
Jiang Shiwei nodded and said: "Very good, you write down all these situations, the more detailed the writing, the better, because it is your organization, personnel, including the situation in Shanghai and Shandong, everything you know, write down, the more you write, the more beneficial it will be to you, understand?"
After living in Shanghai for a few years, Bai Tassel's knowledge and horizons have been much broader than before, otherwise his mentality will not change, and after listening to Jiang Shiwei's words, he immediately understood, and said: "If I can provide what you need, what can I get?"
