Chapter 285: Lao Deng is arrested
For three days in a row, so many people were looking for a person together, not to mention digging three feet into the ground, almost all the places in Shanghai where there were people.
But Hosokawa Tomotaka is like evaporating from the world, so many people are stunned that they haven't found him.
It's all kinds of gossip flying all over the sky.
Some say they saw a young man in a white suit go to the train station, while others say they saw Tomotaka Hosokawa at the dock and went to Germany by boat.
Some people even say that the gang fought and killed a person who resembled Tomotaka Hosokawa.
In addition to these, some of Chu Lingyun's previous whereabouts were also found out.
The ready-to-wear store where he bought a white suit was found, and the rickshaw driver who was sitting in took the initiative to appear, and there were too many rumors of all kinds, and there were noses and eyes to say, and these few pieces of real information were not conspicuous in them.
Tsukasa Nakano was busy verifying all the reports that had been sent to him, and the more he verified, the more angry he became.
Many of the news turned out to be lies or untruths, wasting a lot of his energy.
However, these news came from the Green Gang, the French, and the British, and he had nowhere to send out the fire, so he could only send additional manpower and constantly verify.
As long as it is the news that comes, Nakano Tsukashi does not dare to ignore it, if one of these news is true, he may find the young master back.
Japanese Concession, Shanghai Special High School.
"Haven't found Tomotaka Hosokawa's whereabouts yet?"
Kitagawa Naruto looked tired, and sitting in front of him was the head of the intelligence team, Nao Iijima, who finally knew the news of the failure of the last operation, and then came the bad news that Sima Lin was arrested.
Vice Chief Tang fled, and Sima Lin's result can be imagined.
Sima Lin was the head of the Tuyuan Division, and the Chief of the Division sternly reprimanded him, telling him to immediately explain his recent behavior, otherwise he would be sent back to the country for examination.
Escorted back, not let him take the initiative to go back, the meaning of this is very different.
At this moment, there was news that the young master of the Hosokawa family had appeared, and the Hosokawa family's housekeeper Nakano Tsukao was offering a bounty to find it, and this matter was regarded as a lifesaver by Kitagawa Ming, and he immediately ordered all his subordinates to join the search.
They are intelligence services, and it is more advantageous to find people.
"Section Chief, no."
Iijima shook his head, he was very puzzled, Hosokawa Tomotaka is an ordinary person, how can he hide so deeply, so many people can't find him?
Even if Hosokawa Tomotaka has a place to live in Shanghai, he always has to eat and drink, and he will come out to buy things, but so many people are stunned that there is no clue about him, is it true that he has left Shanghai as a rumor?
Iijima didn't dare to say these words, he understood Kitagawa Ming's current predicament.
Hosokawa Tomotaka is now Kitagawa Ming's only hope, if there is Hosokawa family to help speak, the chief of the section and the War Department and other departments will give a face, and will not deal with Kitagawa Ming harshly, or even deal with it.
But if this hope is also disappointed, Kitagawa Ming's fate is estimated to be very bad.
He is Kitagawa Ming's most trusted confidant, and Kitagawa Ming's bad luck does him no good.
Maybe he will be unlucky with him, after all, many of the intelligence teams that have accidents belong to his leadership, and this responsibility cannot be escaped.
"Keep looking, be sure to find Tomotaka Hosokawa before anyone else."
Kitagawa Naru ordered, he didn't say it explicitly, but Iijima Nao understood that Kitagawa Naru was desperate and put all his hopes on finding someone.
Beichuan Ming couldn't explain to the chief section chief, saying that it was because of a person named Chu Lingyun that they had suffered heavy losses recently, and the intelligence agency in Nanjing had been beaten to pieces, and even the Shanghai action group had lost dozens of people.
Even if it is explained, the above will only think that he is incompetent and defeated by a young man.
"Hello."
Nao Iijima was ordered to retreat, and Kitagawa Naru was distraught and in no mood to deal with any official business.
Nanjing, Military Intelligence Department Prison.
Sima Lin was huddled on the edge of the cell, chatting quietly with Huo Xiao next to him.
He is extremely eloquent, and in the past few days, he has deliberately pretended to care about Huo Xiao, and said a lot of comforting words, making Huo Xiao regard Sima Lin as a confidant and complain about the darkness of the Military Intelligence Department.
He was wronged, just because he slept with a Japanese female spy and was caught and suffered so much.
Sima Lin successfully gained Huo Xiao's trust and used a lie to get Huo Xiao to promise to help him pass the word.
Sima Lin told Huo Xiao that although he was a Japanese agent and it was difficult to save himself, there was no problem in rescuing a purely implicated person like Huo Xiao.
Huo Xiao was a friend of the Great Japanese Empire, and the Empire was grateful to him and should not let him suffer here.
When this news spreads, the Japanese side will do its best to rescue him.
The help of the Japanese is definitely stronger than those ordinary officials that Huo Xiao knows, especially once the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs intervenes, China will not turn his face against Japan because of his little Huo Xiao, and will inevitably release him.
The Military Intelligence Service will never be able to resist such pressure.
Huo Xiaoxin thought it was true, and took advantage of the relationship between his family and his family to spread the code.
In the office, Loach looked at the things in front of him, full of doubts.
Sima Lin didn't know that the reason why Huo Xiao was able to contact the outside world was purely because of the loaches' hands, if he was not allowed to contact his family, how could his family send money?
Every word Huo Xiao said to the outside world, the loach was all clear.
This time, Huo Xiao asked his family to send another twenty gold bars, and the information that Sima Lin asked him to help pass on fell into the hands of the loach.
The loach didn't pay attention to the content of the gold bar, he looked at the extra part of the content.
The content is simple, there is only one phone number, and there is also a sentence.
"I'm a friend of Sima Lin, a friend of the Northland, please help me."
It's a very ordinary message for help, but how did Huo Xiao collude with Sima Lin and ask Sima Lin's people to help him?
"Go find out who this phone number belongs to?"
Loach called his subordinates and asked them to investigate the phone number, and then looked at the content carefully, these contents were dictated by Huo Xiao, and there was no text.
Without the consent of the loaches, the news has not yet been spread.
If he just asked for gold bars, the loach would not stop him, but Huo Xiao's words were related to Sima Lin, and he had to pay attention to it.
The news seemed simple, but Loach was not the owner of the good alley, and he always felt that there was something strange in this sentence.
"If only the team leader was here, he would definitely be able to see the problem inside."
After watching it for half an hour, the loach sighed, and he had to admit that he couldn't find the problem in this sentence no matter how much he researched it.
I couldn't figure it out, but the loach simply didn't want to, and after his subordinates reported the source of the phone number, he immediately came to the radio station: "Send a report to the team leader, the content is ......"
Since Huo Xiao mentioned Sima Lin, it is necessary to report this matter and see what the team leader says.
In Shanghai, a team member quickly came to Chu Lingyun's room and handed him the message sent by the loach.
They came out and brought a radio station, which was in their hotel, and there were team members who turned it on to take care of it, and the news from the headquarters could be received at any time.
"Sima Lin is making small moves."
After just glancing at the content of the message, Chu Lingyun judged that this was Sima Lin delivering the news to the outside world, rather than really trying to help Huo Xiao.
Sima Lin is Japanese, he will not have such good intentions, but he is an agent, and after being caught, it is impossible for the Japanese to rescue him, what is the purpose of his sending such a message?
This seemingly simple distress signal must be hiding a secret that they don't know.
Code?
Chu Lingyun carefully analyzed the content of the message, 'I am Sima Lin's friend', the name appeared in it, and the other party could understand that this was the message conveyed by Sima Lin.
Friends of the Northland, please help me?
This sentence should be Sima Lin's real purpose, and in the nine words, there must be a hidden message he wants to convey.
Soon, Chu Lingyun looked at the two words, Beiguo.
The call was made to the puppet Manchukuo, and it was not easy to call there at this time, but Huo Xiao's family had money, so as long as they found a way, they could still make a call.
And everyone's name for the puppet Manchukuo is generally the north, or the northeast, or the three eastern provinces, and there are not many people who directly call the north.
The concept of the northern country is big, and the north of the Yellow River, or even the north of the Yangtze River, can be called the northern country.
From Sima Lin's point of view, it can be said that in the past when I only refer to the Northeast, Japan established a puppet Manchurian regime in the Northeast, which can be called the Northern Kingdom.
But who Sima Lin is, a smart man who has mastered many Chinese and never forgets, every word in his words may contain other meanings.
The code language is the most difficult to guess, just like the password, only those who understand can know the meaning, there is no agreement, see other people's code words, want to guess the real meaning is difficult to climb to the sky.
"Huo Xiao, this idiot, was sold and helped others count the money."
Chu Lingyun shook his head, this news seemed to be helping Huo Xiao, but if it really spread out, it would definitely not help Huo Xiao in any way.
It doesn't matter if you can't guess the code, Sima Lin is still in their hands, so ask directly.
Chu Lingyun quickly called back, and when the loach saw the simple message, he slapped his head reluctantly.
"Arraignment of the two."
Chu Lingyun's reply was only four words, yes, both of them were in their hands, and if they didn't understand the real meaning, then ask them.
Loach immediately went to the interrogation department and interrogated Huo Xiao first.
When he came to the torture room, Huo Xiao was terrified, and he didn't understand why he was brought here, even if he had to teach him a lesson before, he had been whipped in the cell, and he had never been brought to such a terrible place.
"Call me."
Loaches don't have any nonsense, people like Huo Xiao are not honest if they don't fight, and if they fight too much, they will be honest.
"Grandpa Zhao, don't fight, what do you want, say, I'll give, can't I give it."
Huo Xiao cried and wailed with a sad face, but the people next to him ignored him, hung him up, and whipped him down.
Then he put a brazier on it, and Huo Xiao, who was burning, kept begging for mercy, and thought of all the words he could think of.
"Why did you help Sima Lin pass on the information?"
After cleaning up, the loach asked, Huo Xiao drooped his head, panting constantly, his forehead was full of sweat, his body was full of blood, and he was trembling constantly.
"I didn't help Sima Lin pass on the information."
Huo Xiao couldn't explain, he finally understood why he was beaten this time, but he didn't expect it to be because of Sima Lin next door.
He kept cursing Sima Lin in his heart, this time it hurt him, he thought that Sima Lin really sympathized with him and wanted to help him, but he didn't expect to help him come with a punishment.
"Don't be honest, keep fighting."
The loach scolded, Huo Xiao had already been beaten with and urine, and when he heard that he was going to be beaten, he was almost scared to death.
"Grandpa Zhao, stop fighting, I really can't stand it, what do you want, make it clear, I just ask you to spare my life."
Huo Xiao kept wailing, and soon it turned into a scream again.
After smoking for a while, the loach asked again, and Huo Xiao explained what Sima Lin had said to him.
Sima Lin said that he would never live, but he Huo Xiao was not Japanese, and he was not an agent, so the Military Intelligence Department should not treat him like this.
The people here just took a fancy to his money, and after he took out all the money, he would inevitably die.
These words were in Huo Xiao's heart, and Huo Xiao immediately became trusting of him.
After several days of comfort, Sima Lin finally told him that he could help him, they Japanese have a lot of energy and can't save themselves, but it's easy to rescue him from an irrelevant person.
After all, Huo Xiao had fallen to this point because of their Japanese talents, and they had the obligation to help him.
In this way, Huo Xiao passed on the phone number Sima Lin gave him and what he had to say, but he didn't expect to almost kill him because of this.
"Tismarin."
After asking clearly, the loach asked Huo Xiao to be escorted down, and Sima Lin was brought over.
When Huo Xiao was taken away, Sima Lin sensed that something was wrong, this time he was careless, and he shouldn't let Huo Xiao send the message directly.
Fortunately, what he was going to say was very secretive, and it was impossible for the people in the Military Intelligence Department to see the problem.
It's just a pity that this information didn't get out.
"You're very dishonest, I know you can survive, so I won't waste time on you, get on the electric chair."
The loach said coldly to Sima Lin, Sima Lin chuckled in his heart, he could still bear the pain of the body, and the pain of the electric chair that hit the soul was simply not something that people could bear.
The loach is so deep that Chu Lingyun has a true biography, and when he comes up, he uses an electric chair.
He didn't dare to turn on the maximum current, Sima Lin couldn't die, especially now, he couldn't die, just torture him slowly with the minimum current.
After a burst of screams, it didn't take long for Sima Lin to recruit.
The pain of the electric chair, he really couldn't bear it.
"I even suspect that Kitagawa Ming is a traitor."
Eucalyptus Loach was stunned when he got the answer, this call was made to Keiji Tsuchihara, and the meaning of the words was to tell him that Kitagawa Ming betrayed.
The code words were in the two words of the northern country that Chu Lingyun noticed.
North, refers to Beichuan Ming, and the country is a homonym, a sound in Japanese betrayal, after the chief section chief receives this message for help, he will understand what Sima Lin means.
At the beginning, the chief section chief once met him, and Sima Lin said that his surname was Kitano, and it was easy to report him for betrayal, and a northern code could point him out.
This time the news did not refer to Sima Lin, but Sima Lin sent it, and Keiji Tsuchihara would think of other people with the northern character in their names.
The Shanghai special high school class has been frustrated again and again, and so many people have been arrested, Sima Lin believes that the chief section chief must be able to think of Beichuan Ming.
Loaches didn't expect such a result, but these Japanese are really cunning, and it seems that a very simple distress signal hides such a big secret.
Chu Lingyun soon received the loach's report and understood the truth.
Sima Lin was indeed smart and used such a code language to spread the word, but he suspected that Beichuan Ming was a traitor, which was a bit unexpected by Chu Lingyun.
Is Naru Kitagawa a mole? Definitely not.
This matter can be exploited, and no matter what the outcome is, it will always be able to drive a wedge between the Japanese.
Chu Lingyun carefully analyzed Sima Lin's confession, and finally called Loach back, and the news spread normally, asking Huo Xiao's family to make this call.
After Sima Lin was arrested, all the people related to him were arrested, and Vice Chief Tang was exposed because of him.
He didn't have any important information to pass back, because it was dictated, and the chances of it being a password weren't high.
His intelligence may really be to report Kitagawa Ming.
From Sima Lin's point of view, he was hiding so deeply, and even the retreat code was known by the military intelligence department, and he suspected that it was normal for Beichuan Ming.
And the important information he obtained from He Yuanhua has long been confessed.
In his hands, there was no other information to pass on.
Even if there were, he wouldn't know much more than Tang Cichang, who fled to the Japanese, and there was no point in blockading him.
If Sima Lin's confession is true, without any action from them, they may be able to abolish Beichuan Ming, the opponent.
The order to assassinate himself was issued by Kitagawa Ming.
For enemies who want to kill themselves, Chu Lingyun will never be soft.
"Pass it out?"
When the loach got Chu Lingyun's reply, he immediately understood his purpose, the team leader is really insidious, this is to let the Japanese dog-eat-dog.
He happily explained that the news that Huo Xiao wanted to pass on was all transferred to his family.
In the Party Affairs Investigation Department, Bao Shengqun was in front of the office window, looking at the vehicles driving in outside.
Zhao Zaili, the head of the Operations Section, and Lin Peilun, the head of the Intelligence Section, got out of the car, what actually alarmed the two section chiefs?
After a while, a man with a lot of tying up came down from the car behind and was forcibly taken to the torture room.
Has a Red Party been arrested?
Bao Shengqun's eyes narrowed, the Party Affairs Investigation Office was very low-key during this time, but he still heard some rumors.
It is said that the Telecommunications Department found an important clue and found a radio station of the Red Party, but unfortunately when it was about to find someone, it was run away by the Red Party.
Later, Deng Lifu and Lin Peilun jointly guaranteed to Xu Laogui, and in the end, Xu Laogui did not punish the entire telecommunications department.
Otherwise, another group of people will die in the Telecommunications Division this time.
The progress of the work of various departments these days is very slow, first, the enthusiasm for work is low, and second, there are no important clues, but I didn't expect them to sneak up on the harvest.
Seeing that the detainees were Fu Tian, the deputy leader of the first group of the Operations Division, Bao Shengqun gently turned the water cup in his hand.
Fu Tian is his person, but after he left the Operations Division, he cut off contact with Fu Tian, not that Fu Tian wanted to break up relations with him, but that after he left the Operations Division, he asked all his previous henchmen not to contact him again.
If they fall and they still surround themselves, it will easily affect their future future, and Zhao Zaili's heart will not be comfortable.
Under his hints, these people turned to Cho Jae-li.
Although they can't become Zhao Zaili's henchmen, at least they stand in line, and Zhao Zaili won't deal with them for a while.
In the torture room, the man was hanged.
It was Lao Deng who was arrested, and after the incident of the telecommunications department was over, Lin Peilun was under a lot of pressure, so he wanted to find clues from the previous eucalyptus.
Lin Peilun has a certain ability, and since Shi Haiyang is dead, it is very likely that Lao Deng will still stay in Nanjing.
He carefully investigated Lao Deng's past, looked for patterns, and found that Lao Deng would occasionally go out of the city, so he hired more than a dozen neighbors who had seen Lao Deng at a high salary, arranged them at various city gates, and used stupid methods to wait for the rabbit.
In order to maintain secrecy, Lin Peilun asked all the people who participated in the operation to keep an eye on the neighbors in pairs, and to go to the toilet together, and no one was allowed to leave alone.
If anyone is found to be helping to conceal or lie, they will be killed.
His stupid method had an effect, and when Lao Deng came back from outside the city, he was seen by people who knew him.
This time out of the city, Lao Deng sent three radio teachers out of the city.
It is too dangerous to continue to teach people to use the radio in the city, their radio station is targeted, and it is likely that they will be targeted again by the people of the Party Investigation Department if they use it for a long time.
After Secretary Liang reported to his hometown, his hometown came to order this radio station to go to Shanghai, and it happened that there was not enough radio station in Shanghai, so one more needed to be added.
The radio station was too expensive, and they did not dare to take the train or ship, so the three of them took the radio station to Shanghai in the most stupid way.
In this way, you can pass through several base areas on the way, learn about the situation in the base areas, and then report to your hometown.
Lao Deng was familiar with the situation outside the city, and he escorted these comrades away, and everything went smoothly when he went out, but he didn't expect to be stared at when he came back.
This time, Lin Peilun didn't dare to put a long line to catch big fish, and after discovering Lao Deng, he immediately asked the action department to arrest the person and successfully brought the person back.
"It's a little late, but we're finally meeting."
Lin Peilun sat at the interrogation table and looked at Lao Deng with a smile, it was because of Lao Deng that he lost an entire group.
Until now, the newly established Second Intelligence Group is still running in and has not formed combat effectiveness.
Lao Deng didn't speak, and after he was arrested, he understood that he was finished.
It's a pity that he didn't have the opportunity to commit suicide, but fortunately, he needs to report to Lao Hu on the line when he comes back this time, if Lao Hu can't wait for him, he will definitely sense the danger and evacuate.
"Torture."
Lin Peilun was not polite, he knew that these red parties were hard-boned.
But not all the Red Party bones are hard, they have arrested a lot of Red Party, and there are also many traitors, the previous Shi Haiyang is an example.
The sooner you pry their mouths open, the greater the harvest.
The leather whip was whipped on his body, and it was very painful, and Lao Deng endured it stubbornly, not allowing himself to let out miserable screams, which would only stimulate the people in front of him even more, making them think that they could not bear the punishment.
He has a strong faith that the enemy can destroy his body, but cannot shake his faith.
"Get on the tiger chair."
Seeing that the leather whip did not work, Lin Peilun immediately changed the method of torture, and after the tiger chair, Lao Deng was branded with two bloody marks by a soldering iron.
Old Deng, who couldn't stand it, fell into a coma.
"Wake him up."
The Red Party is very difficult to entangle, Lin Peilun knows very well that the punishment in front of him is just a small test, and he will use all the punishment on this Red Party until he speaks.
The nails were forcibly pinched off one by one, and the thin-pointed iron nails were forcibly inserted.
Ten fingers connected to the heart, Lao Deng couldn't bear it anymore, and let out a painful wail.
"Say it, say it, you can suffer less." Lin Peilun asked people to stop the punishment and said softly.
