Chapter 50: The Great Disappointment
After speaking, he secretly raised his eyes and looked at Shi Xiang, his eyes were full of fear, he knew that this answer might not satisfy the other party, he was afraid that the other party would torture him again in a fit of anger.
Sure enough, when Shi Xiang heard this answer, he couldn't help but show anger, and directly threw the cigarette in his hand to the ground, stepped on it fiercely with his foot, and said angrily: "Burned? How did it burn? I'm telling you, if you're still lucky at this time, I want you to survive but not die. ”
Since Xiao Lin Yuan has already spoken, it is naturally the highest goal of everything to avoid punishment, and the rest is no longer important, seeing that Shi Xiang was really angry, he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "Sir, please believe me, what I said is true." I really don't need to lie to you anymore. At that time, the moment your people rushed in, Hiroki Mitsui had already realized that he was going to be exposed, and without the slightest hesitation, he directly threw the codebook he was carrying into the stove, which must have been burned. ”
"Brought with you?" Shi Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then stared at Kobayashi Gen with his eyes and asked, "You mean that Mitsui Hiroki usually carries the codebook with him?" "This is so unusual, the importance of the codebook to a spy team cannot be overstated, ordinary spies in order to keep it secret, they put it together with other books, and use other books as a cover, and it is rare for Hiroki Mitsui to carry it directly with him.
Kobayashi Yuan nodded effortlessly and said, "Yes." Ever since you last tried to capture him, he has been careful to carry the codebook, and has instructed us not to let the fire in the room go out, presumably to burn it the moment you rush into the room. ”
When Kobayashi Yuan spoke, Shi Xiang's eyes never left his face for a moment, his facial expressions were all seen by Shi Xiang, Shi Xiang could conclude with his many years of experience as an agent that Kobayashi Yuan was not lying, it seems that this Mitsui Hiroki is a full old fox, everything has done the worst, at the moment they arrested people, they first burned the code book, and then ran to the street to thunder themselves, so that they cut off all the clues.
A person committed suicide on the street with a grenade, and before committing suicide, he shouted slogans such as long live the Japanese emperor, such a big thing, it must not be hidden, and now it has spread throughout the entire city of Hangzhou, and the Japanese spies and Chinese traitors lurking in the city of Hangzhou must also know, and they must have stopped their activities now, and they are all hidden. In the absence of clues, finding such a few people in Hangzhou, a city with a population of nearly one million, is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, which is basically impossible.
Seeing that the credit in his hand flew away like this, Shi Xiang only felt a burst of pain in his flesh, took a deep breath, tried to calm his anger, and then stared at Xiao Lin Yuan and asked, "Who reported the letter to you last time?" ”
"I really don't know." Xiao Lin Yuan was taken aback by his eyes and expression, is this a dog's face? Say flip over, Mitsui Hiroki doesn't burn the codebook or not, what does he care about, he is just his subordinate, can he still be his master?
In order to avoid suffering another meal, Kobayashi Yuan quickly explained in a panic: "There is another task with me to protect the mountains and fields of Mitsui Hiroki, which is to stay next to the radio every day and listen to the broadcast of the fixed channel. It was through this broadcast that the headquarters of the Special High School delivered news to us. That day, he heard an urgent radio announcement, and after the translation came out, he was so frightened that he immediately ran out and called Hiroki Mitsui, informing him in the code words they had agreed that danger was coming, and asking him not to go to get information. I really know that much, and as for who told them, I really don't know. Sir, you are also engaged in intelligence, how can they tell me an assistant about such a confidential matter? ”
What Kobayashi Yuan said also made sense, in fact, before interrogating him, Shi Xiang knew that he couldn't know too much, just engaged in intelligence, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he had to put in 100% effort, maybe after his own efforts, the case that originally seemed to have no clue would have a bright day.
I thought I had caught a big fish, but now everything is at an impasse, Shi Xiang couldn't help but flash a trace of loneliness in his heart, the codebook was burned, this person didn't know anything, and there was no point in keeping him anymore. And the seat and the stationmaster have solved the case within a time limit, and now this person has changed from an important value clue to a hot potato, and he has smashed his own hands.
As soon as he thought of this, Shi Xiang felt angry in his heart, if a person is unlucky, he will stuff his teeth when he drinks cold water, he originally expected to find the code book according to this person's confession, but now not only did he find nothing, but he also trapped himself. What should he do if he is responsible for the work on schedule and has to come up with valuable clues?
Xiao Lin Yuan saw Shi Xiang's sad face, and there was a faint flash of anger in his eyes, knowing that his confession did not satisfy the other party, he couldn't help but panic in his heart, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Sir, what I said is the truth, please believe me." That's really all I know, and when it comes to this, I really don't need to lie to you. ”
Shi Xiang is an old agent, and it can be seen from the actual situation of the case and Kobayashi Yuan's reaction that he is not lying. After doing this for a long time, it is impossible for anyone to become a living bodhisattva, but Shi Xiang has not become a demon who likes to torture people, just now he tortured Xiao Lin Yuan just for work, and now that the other party has confessed, then he will not torture him anymore, he breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "You don't have to be nervous, since you have already said it." I will make good on my promise to heal you now. Count me out of luck. ”
"Thank you, sir, thank you." Kobayashi Yuan was so frightened that he thanked again and again. He really didn't want to live this kind of dark day, and the pain of electrocution was so terrible that it made him forget his family.
Shi Xiang waved his hand helplessly, signaling the staff of the torture room to untie Kobayashi Yuan and send him to treat his injuries. After they left, he discussed with Hao Lei and the others who were interrogated with him with a bitter face: "Everyone, this case is smashed, let's discuss how to talk to the above." ”
Hao Lei and the others are also not happy, after all, finding the code book is a great achievement, and everyone who participates can get the credit, although the credit will be taken away by the intelligence group at that time, but the stationmaster has said first, this case is dominated by the action group, so he will still take the lion's share.
Now that all the clues are broken, there is no hope for the codebook, the credit is zero, and no one wants to share it.
