Chapter XVIII: Taking over the interrogation
This Yunlai teahouse is actually the property of Meng Qinglai, a famous Qingshui robe brother in Chongqing, which Tang Cheng did not expect in advance, and after several days of tracking and investigation, the man in the long shirt who was followed by Tang Cheng that day actually had close contacts with this Meng Qinglai. "It is said that this Li Yifan has business dealings with Meng Qinglai, and we just found out that Meng Qinglai's youngest son only went to Japan to study last year." Zhao Dashan and the others finally played the role of the old policeman, and used various channels to investigate the Yunlai Teahouse, not only to find out the identity of the boss behind it, but also to find the relationship between Meng Qinglai and the Japanese.
Meng Qinglai's youngest son went to Japan to study, and Tang Cheng was not very fond of this news, but when he learned that Meng Qinglai's youngest son was only 12 years old this year, he immediately understood Zhao Dashan's intention to report this news to him. "This means that even if this Meng Qinglai is not a pawn of the Japanese, he should also use his identity and relationship channels to secretly make things convenient for the Japanese."
Although Tang Cheng's judgment at this moment was not supported by definite evidence, Zhao Dashan was already nodding yes, but Zhao Dashan's eyes also showed a faint look of worry. "Captain, this Meng Qinglai is not easy to deal with, this person has a wide range of friends and a very good reputation, and it is said that he has a good personal relationship with several leaders in the city government. If we don't have hard goods in our hands, it's best not to think about Meng Qinglai, if those robe brothers who have a good relationship with him make a fuss, the city government won't help us. ”
Before he was 20 years old, he was in charge of a police squad with jurisdiction covering the entire city, such a young man, Zhao Dashan has lived for more than 30 years, and this is the first time he has seen it. Although Tang Cheng's ability is not bad, and there are powerful people behind him, Zhao Dashan is still worried that once he makes a move against Meng Qinglai, Tang Cheng may not be able to withstand the counterattack of those robe buddies. As a person close to Tang Cheng, he must say these words to Tang Cheng.
"Uncle Zhao, who said that I was going to do something to this Meng Qinglai now?" When Tang Cheng heard this, he just grinned. "Of course, I know that now is not a good time to do something to these robe buddies, and I also know that these ground snakes have no other skills, but the ability to coax the seedlings is not small. I mobilized so many people to investigate this Li Yifan, the original intention was just to start our signboard as soon as possible, but sometimes, the fist that was withdrawn may not be able to be hit again. ”
Tang Cheng's last sentence, Zhao Dashan didn't understand the meaning, but according to Tang Cheng's order, Zhao Dashan's next main task was to train newcomers and continue to follow Li Yifan. Tracking is a very boring thing, sometimes tracking a person can last for days, and as the target number of contacts increases, the scope of tracking and investigation expands accordingly. Tang Cheng handed over all the things about tracking Li Yifan to Zhao Dashan, but he went to Zhang Jianghe and there.
"Uncle, how are you doing here?" As soon as Tang Cheng entered the door, he saw Zhang Jianghe's face full of sadness, knowing that the interrogation might not go well, but he pretended not to see anything, and asked Zhang Jianghe directly. When Zhang Jianghe heard this, he didn't answer out loud, but just threw a stack of interrogation records to Tang Cheng with a straight face. After Tang Cheng looked down at the interrogation records, he understood why Zhang Jianghe was so sad, two days have passed, but Zhang Jianghe's interrogation work here has no clue at all.
"Uncle, this can't be done!" Tang Cheng put down the interrogation record in his hand, went over and opened the door to see that there was no one in the corridor left and right, and then came back to Zhang Jianghe and said in a low voice. "Uncle, if the people at Chongqing Station are unusable, it is better to ask for help directly from the Nanjing headquarters. That Xu Zifeng is just like that, I wonder if the headquarters knows that we have caught the Japanese spy lurking in Chongqing, and there is a possibility of digging deeper, the headquarters will definitely not help Xu Zifeng. ”
Tang Cheng's suggestion was already encouraging Zhang Jianghe and Xu Zifeng to work against each other, Zhang Jianghe pondered for a while when he heard the words, and then finally had a reaction. Zhang Jianghe shook his head lightly at Tang Cheng and said, "It has long been said that there must be no internal strife within the intelligence department. What's more, Xu Zifeng is the stationmaster of Chongqing Station, if I ask the headquarters now, the headquarters will definitely know that Xu Zifeng and I are now incompatible. If you can't fight people, it's your own ability, and if you find a superior to complain, then your character is not good. ”
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, the Japanese are very cunning. These two men have been arrested for two days, and if they can't ask for anything before the next joint they have agreed upon, these two men will be arrested in vain. Tang Cheng's words were fierce, but looking at the expression on his face, he was not in a hurry at all. Tang Cheng actually didn't want to get involved in the internal affairs of the Intelligence Department at all, if it weren't for the current good situation, he would have run home to accompany his family.
Zhang Jianghe did not agree with Tang Cheng's suggestion just now, but someone had to do it, and the sadness on Zhang Jianghe's face made Tang Cheng have to choose to compromise, and Tang Cheng, who voluntarily entered the pit, had to temporarily take over the work of interrogating the two Japanese spies. "Miss Tanaka, let's meet again! How are the past two days? Tang Cheng first interrogated Yuko Tanaka, who was known as Tanaka Qi, and Hasegawa, who had been in one-way contact with Yuko Tanaka, had been arrested, which made Tang Cheng no longer have to explain why he knew Yuko Tanaka's real name.
The other party could directly say his real name, and Yuko Tanaka, who had already been tortured, was somewhat surprised in her heart, and before the surprise on her face dissipated, Tang Cheng took the initiative to give an explanation. "Miss Tanaka, in fact, before you were caught, your upline who took the cigarette in the tavern was already caught by us. Compared to you, you're obviously not a tough guy, so I know a lot more than you expected. Tang Cheng looked at each other without blinking, and Yuko Tanaka heard this, although there was no change in expression on her face, but her slightly trembling eyes had already made Tang Cheng secretly happy.
Tang Cheng's words just now were naturally deceiving Yuko Tanaka, and the position he was standing in now only needed to take two more steps forward before he could reach out and touch the other party. Seeing Yuko Tanaka pursing her lips tightly, Tang Cheng secretly laughed, and then took out a folded white paper from his pocket and slowly opened it in front of Yuko Tanaka. Tang Cheng suddenly took out a blank piece of paper in front of him and opened it in front of him, Yuko Tanaka was naturally curious, and as the white paper was opened, Yuko Tanaka saw a portrait.
Seeing that Yuko Tanaka looked carefully, Tang Cheng immediately stepped forward, stretched out his hand and put his hand on Yuko Tanaka's shoulder, and then asked Yuko Tanaka. "Don't you know this face? This is what your upline took the initiative to tell us in order to survive. Tang Cheng's sudden approach made Yuko Tanaka frown slightly, but her consciousness was also quickly mobilized with Tang Cheng's question.
The portrait that Tang Cheng took out at this moment was drawn by Tang Cheng after he continued to follow Li Yifan. When he returned to Zhang Jianghe, the main reason was to borrow Zhang Jianghe's camera here to retake this portrait, and to distribute Li Yifan's photo to his old policemen for investigation, which happened to be used to coax Tanaka Yuko at this moment. The first memory copied from Yuko Tanaka has confirmed that Hasegawa and Yuko Tanaka are indeed one-way contacts, but Hasegawa does not know that Yuko Tanaka is also privately under the command of another person in the group.
Originally, according to the regulations of this intelligence team codenamed Hummingbird, Yuko Tanaka had only one connector, Hasegawa. But Yuko Tanaka took advantage of an excellent opportunity to get acquainted with Zhang Hanchun of the Chongqing Station of the Intelligence Department, this Zhang Hanchun is not an ordinary member of the Intelligence Department, he is not only the confidant of the station manager Xu Zifeng, but also the head of the operations section of the Chongqing Station. The development of a random government worker is far less valuable than the development of an inside line in an opponent's intelligence agency, and Yuko Tanaka was appreciated by the head of the group for this.
Tang Cheng saw Zhang Hanchun meeting with Yuko Tanaka in the restaurant that day, and it was Yuko Tanaka who received an order from the head of the group to test Zhang Hanchun again. It's a pity that Yuko Tanaka still doesn't know that she and Hasegawa's exposure and arrest are all due to this meeting with Zhang Hanchun. Tang Cheng, who had already replayed this copy clip in his mind, couldn't help but be secretly proud, he didn't expect that he could get such a harvest just by having an idea, which was really surprising.
"Do you see clearly? This man is supposed to be a member of your intelligence team, but he's luckier than the two of you, and we haven't caught him yet. Tang Cheng didn't immediately start the replication of the second memory, but looked down to observe Yuko Tanaka's facial reaction. Already knowing that the other party was someone who really didn't know the portrait, Tang Cheng immediately put away the portrait and asked Yuko Tanaka the next question. "Miss Tanaka, since you don't know this person, let's talk about other people, such as Zhang Hanchun!"
Tang Cheng's last three words came out, Yuko Tanaka couldn't control herself anymore, and finally reacted. "You... How do you know? Yuko Tanaka's frightened voice was very sharp, which did not match her usual dignified and gentle image at all. Tang Cheng was asking Zhang Hanchun at the moment, and Yuko Tanaka's mind naturally thought of Zhang Hanchun, and the second memory that Tang Cheng took the opportunity to copy was all related to Zhang Hanchun.
"I already told you just now, I know a lot of things, but you don't believe it!" Tang Cheng suddenly left Yuko Tanaka's side, turned around and walked back to the table and sat down. Quietly looking at Yuko Tanaka, whose face had changed greatly, Tang Cheng lit a cigarette and smoked it, and after a few breaths, Tang Cheng, who already had an idea in his heart, immediately sneered at Yuko Tanaka. "I'll tell you the truth, you and your upline, although he was arrested first, in fact, it was you who were the first to be grasped by us."
