Chapter 20: The First Battle

Zhao Jingdong directly escorted Song Xuefei into the torture room, "Did you recognize the person who posted the missing person notice before?" ”

"What did he tell you? His contact location, don't fool me with any train station! ”

"Did you take advantage of him and take advantage of him? Or is it with him? ”

"I warn you better be honest! Every torture instrument here can make your life worse than death! ”

Zhao Jingdong asked the same question over and over again, looking at the torture instruments one after another in the torture room, there were several fierce thugs standing beside him, and there were bursts of screams in his ears from time to time, Song Xuefei was frightened, and completely collapsed in the face of the flying disaster, and kept crying, without saying anything about it, and couldn't say why.

Zhao Jingdong said angrily: "Okay! Toast if you don't eat, you have to eat penalty wine! If you don't see some color, you won't know what this place is! Come to someone, pour some chili water on her first to quench her thirst! ”

At this time, a subordinate hurriedly walked in and said in a low voice: "Team leader, Chen Bin, the editor-in-chief of "Declaration", is here, and there are more than a dozen reporters who came with him, including "Declaration", radio and other media. Director Li asked you to hurry over. ”

Chen Bingong, editor-in-chief of "Declaration", a celebrity of the Wang Puppet Group, a guest of many Japanese dignitaries and eunuchs, and a cultural tycoon in Shanghai, after a detailed discussion, Chen Bingong can't afford to offend No. 76, and Chen Bingong is not something that a mere Zhao Jingdong can afford to provoke. Zhao Jingdong pointed at Song Xuefei and said, "Think about it, this is your last chance, don't see the coffin and don't cry!" I'll clean up you stinky later! ”

Zhao Jingdong came to Li Shiqun's office, and before he could speak, Ni Xin hurriedly came: "Director, Heiichiro Ono, the head of the secret service of the Shanghai Occupation Army Headquarters, is here, saying that there is an urgent matter and I must see you immediately." ”

Major General Heiichiro Ono, the official worship, is the highest commander of the Japanese army's intelligence system in Shanghai, although nominally not subordinate to No. 76, in fact, he is the master of Li Shiqun and other traitors. Li Shiqun didn't dare to slack off, got up and said, "Quickly invite General Ono in." Ni Xin, you go and appease the people in the "Declaration" first, just say that I have urgent official business, please wait for a while. ”

Zhao Jingdong didn't dare to interject, Li Shiqun waved his hand: "You go out first and stand by at the door." ”

Just over forty years old, wearing a pair of gold-wire glasses, not burly, and slightly sickly Ono Heiichiro was polite: "Li San, it's been a long time." If you are polite, let's do it without it, I have something I want to verify: I sent someone to the "Declaration" just now, and consulted Ms. Song Xuefei about a trivial matter, but I didn't expect Director Li's people to take the lead. Is Ms. Song Xuefei from the advertising department of "Declaration" still in your office? If so, please hand her over to me. It's rude, please forgive Director Li. ”

"It's easy to say, and it's enough to trouble General Ono to make a trip in person, just a phone call. Come and call Zhao Jingdong to come in—Team Leader Zhao, and immediately hand over Ms. Song Xuefei to General Ono. General, do you need me to send someone to escort you? ”

Ono politely and thoughtfully got up and bowed slightly: "Don't dare to bother Director Li, thank Director Li for his full assistance, and take his leave." Please stay with Director Li. ”

In the office, Liu Zezhi looked out of the window, and he had a panoramic view of the courtyard, and a car and a jeep from the Japanese army headquarters were hurrying back and forth, and he had a bottom in his heart. If nothing else, William Smith should have been imprisoned in the Japanese command. The people of Ono also saw the "Missing Person Notice" and felt suspicious, so they followed the traces to find the "Declaration" and wanted to find out, but they didn't expect No. 76 to be one step earlier. Shanghai really couldn't find a more heavily guarded place than the Japanese headquarters. The Japanese command? What to do? Not to mention that a mere military command of the Shanghai station, even if an integrated division of the national army came back, it may not be able to snatch people out of the Japanese army headquarters, not to mention that not only must people be rescued unharmed, but also sent out of Shanghai safely. What to do? Is there really no chance of success in a day-by-day plan? Day by day, who is the Prometheus who stole fire?

The knock on the door interrupted Liu Zezhi's thoughts, and he quickly retracted his thoughts: "Please come in." Lao Zhao, it's you, what's wrong? A look of reluctance. How is the situation at the newspaper office, not going well? ”

Zhao Jingdong sighed: "I may have let go of a big fish." Zezhi, we are our own people, I won't tell you, just now I arrested a girl surnamed Song in the advertising department of "Declaration", and I haven't waited for interrogation, guess what? Zhao Jingdong sold a pass, and left half a sentence on his lips.

Liu Zezhi approached and seemed interested: "What's wrong?" I can't guess, and I don't want to bother with that, you say. ”

Zhao Jingdong lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Who do you guess is going to take people away?" Heiichiro Ono! Chief of the Special Service of the Japanese Occupation Force Headquarters, Major General Ono! Do you think this surnamed Song is a big fish? Alas, the hit was only eight liters of rice, and I didn't dare to make a fight, what a good opportunity for meritorious service, and I slipped away. I sue you, the one surnamed Song said that the person who published the notice was a man surnamed Zhou with an injury to his right arm—you know who it is, right? ”

"Who? The right arm was injured by the surname Zhou? Oh - it's the one who ran away last time called Zhou ...... What's it, that's it, Chongqing Military Command Shanghai Station, what's it called......"

"Zhou Chengbin! Look at your memory, at a young age, you, either being an elder brother talking about you, or not paying attention to the right thing! Listen to me......"

Ni Xin pushed the door in: "Lao Zhao, what are you doing here?" I've been looking for you all over the world. Director Li explained, saying that General Heiichiro Ono ordered you to go immediately. Go for it. ”

Zhao Jingdong was surprised and delighted, could he use this to climb the big tree of Heiichiro Ono? If this is the case, wouldn't it be right in front of you; Still is...... Offended Ono, and the disaster is just around the corner? He didn't dare to delay, and hurried away anxiously.

At the headquarters of the Japanese army in Songhu, Heiichiro Ono smiled and said, "Team Leader Zhao, please take a seat." There are some things I want to check with you. ”

Zhao Jingdong just sat down, and when he heard this, he stood up again: "Please ask the head of the organ to order." ”

"Zhao Sang, how did you get up to go to the "Declaration" this morning?"

Zhao Jingdong was a little complacent: "When I returned to the head of the department, my subordinates saw the "Missing Person Notice" in the newspaper, and the professional sensitivity made the lowly position feel that something was wrong, so he went to find out. ”

Ono smiled: "Zhao Sang is very dedicated, and he is a very good and potential agent, and he actually walked ahead of my subordinates." So you're not prepared, but you just want to follow the trail to see if there is any valuable information? ”

Zhao Jingdong said with a smile: "It is the duty of the people to do their best for the construction of the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle. Zhao Jingdong said with a little smugness, he guessed from Ono's words that what he did might have fallen into Ono's eyes.

Ono took out a portrait of the ink that had not dried: "This is the portrait of the person who went to the "Declaration" to publish the missing person notice according to Ms. Song Xuefei's description, Zhao Sang look at this person, do you know him?" ”

"Recognize. This is the head of the Shanghai Station of the Chongqing Military Command, Zhou Chengbin, one of the three ace killers under Dai Li, before the last encirclement and suppression of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, Director Li let several team leaders who participated in the specific operation see the photos. ”

Heiichiro Ono smiled: "Zhao San, hard work. There may be something that bothers you, so please don't leave here for a while. Come on, please ask Team Leader Zhao to go down and rest. ”

Heiichiro Ono locked himself in his office and pondered alone. On 20 April, the German Government sent a note to the Japanese ambassador requesting assistance in finding the nuclear physicist Wilhelm Smith, who may have fled to Shanghai. It is said that German spies in the United States learned that the Americans were already working on a powerful atomic weapon that could determine the outcome of the war. Clear-sighted people know that it is only a matter of time before the United States enters the war, and for Germany, which has a small territory, poor resources, and an excessively long front, the preemptive development of such weapons may be crucial to the survival of the empire. William Smith is one of only a handful of nuclear physicists in the world who are capable of developing such weapons. Upon learning of this information, the Japanese government was also moved. The country is small, the resources are poor, and the front line is too long? Isn't that what Japan is talking about? Ono received an order from the Japanese base camp to find this man and hand him over to Germany at the end of May. As soon as William Smith landed on April 25, he was "invited" to the Japanese headquarters by Heiichiro Ono, who was waiting for him. For more than a month, Ono's task was to work with several physicists to find out whether this weapon existed or not, whether it was so powerful, and if it was, he would rather lose his trust to Germany than take the lead. In the event that William Smith was snatched from Chongqing from his own hands, and then obtained by the Americans, the plan of the base camp fell through, and the Germans knew that this person had already been found and the Japanese government kept it a secret, and the two countries began to negotiate again, even if he cut himself out, it would be difficult to atone for his crimes! Did Chongqing really already know that William Smith was under house arrest in the Songhu garrison headquarters? Need to transfer? If so, where does the transfer go?
