Chapter 67: Torture in Prison
At this time, Takanori Tamura was in the secret service on Fukada Road, enclosing himself in his office, looking at the table full of photos collected from the "Jiayang" photo studio. Some of these photos are good-looking samples hung on the wall for advertising purposes, and some of them have just been developed and customers have not had time to pick them up.
"Will there be anti-Japanese elements among these people?" He didn't know, so he could only look at the photos one by one, but he couldn't figure out a clue, and his heart became irritable.
He rubbed his temples with both hands, stood up and pulled back the curtains to let the sunlight in.
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the office.
"Come in!" Takanori Tamura shouted listlessly.
The female operator walked in quickly, bowed and handed over an encrypted telegram: "Director, the new government of Nanjing has a secret telegram." ”
Tamura Takanori seemed to have discovered a new continent, grabbed the telegram, opened it, and saw that it was written: "The high-level agent 'Haifeng' sent by the Yan'an Communist Party has infiltrated Xiamen Island." He watched it several times in a row, and couldn't help but feel a burst of joy.
"Sea breeze, sea breeze!" He muttered and focused his gaze on the photographs, trying to find a connection.
Takanori Takanori looked at it carefully, picked out a few photos from them, and placed them on the table, one of which was a photo of Professor Zhang in a suit, which was particularly conspicuous.
Takamura pressed the black button on his desk, and soon a Japanese spy came in. He pointed to the photos and said: Let the "snow wolf" quickly find out the identity of the people in these photos.
"Hey!" The Japanese spy was about to leave when Uchida quietly walked in.
Takamura Takanori hurriedly stood up and bowed: Hello Consul General Uchida!
Uchida said with a smile on his face, "Chief Tamura, it's been a great job. How is the capture of the anti-Japanese elements progressing? ”
Tamura Takanori hurriedly said: The Gulangyu gendarmerie has arrested more than 20 anti-Japanese activists and is on trial.
"Hmmm! The anti-Japanese elements are extremely cunning and numerous, and they must continue to be tracked down and wiped out. Only by eliminating them all can the Emperor's Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere be truly built. Uchida said with a wave of his hand.
"Hello." Tamura replied.
"Yan'an's senior agent 'Haifeng' has infiltrated Xiamen Island, you must also know this information, you are the head of the agency, what good ideas do you have for looking for 'Haifeng'." Uchida asked quietly.
"Mr. Consul General, when we searched the 'Jiayang' photo studio, we found a lot of photos, since we found an unknown radio signal there, the photo studio must have a connection with the anti-Japanese elements, I want to start with these seized photos, to find some clues." Takamura spoke his mind.
"Well, that's a good idea, give it a try. However, the representatives of the teachers and students of the schools arrested from Gulangyu, as well as the leaders of various organizations, could not have known the whereabouts of the 'sea breeze', and could not have placed much hope on them. Can I take a look at these photos that you seized? Uchida said curiously.
"It's on the table, Consul General Uchida, please take a look."
Uchida came to the table and looked at the photos seriously.
Takanori Takamura pointed to a few photos he had selected from them and said, "I thought it was possible that the 'Sea Breeze' was in here, and the secret services would ask them to focus on the investigation." ”
Uchida shook his head and said, "I thought that 'Sea Breeze' could not be in it, but my judgment is that first of all, this photo studio may not have a connection with the anti-Japanese elements, nor does it necessarily have a secret radio station of the anti-Japanese elements, although you arrested the owner of the photo studio for censorship and shot him." ”
Tamura Takanori's face turned red when he heard this, and the expression on his face was very embarrassed.
Uchida continued: "My second judgment is that 'Haifeng' must be an extremely ordinary person, a person who can be forgotten by looking at it, and if there is anything special, it will be particularly cunning, wise, and alert, and it is impossible for him to go to the photo studio in Xiamen to take pictures, let alone hang his photos on the wall publicly. These people don't waste manpower and material resources to investigate. I think there's one person who's weird and worth looking into. ”
Tamura was surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask, "Which one is Mr. Consul General talking about?" ”
"The photographer of the 'Jiayang' photo studio is very suspicious. He left before you were arrested, and the timing is very suspicious! Uchida said sinisterly.
"Oh, I'll lay it out right away." Takanori Takamura stood up and nodded.
At noon the next day, in the joint apartment on Gulangyu Island, Liu Zifeng had just finished his daily routine contact, and when he took off his headphones, he saw several strangers wandering around the neighborhood from the window. Years of experience told him that there was a situation, so he immediately turned off the radio, hid it in the ground, covered it with a square board, and then quickly moved the two-seater to its original position, and placed the pot of flowers on the window sill on the floor.
As soon as he did this, there was a rush of footsteps in the alley outside, although it was very light, Liu Zifeng heard it clearly, he jumped on the bed and lay down and pretended to sleep, and then there was a rapid knock on the door outside.
"Who!" Liu Zifeng put on his clothes and asked after coming to the door.
"We are from the Ministry of Industry and the Bureau, and we are doing ward rounds." The man outside the door replied.
"Oh, here we go!" Liu Zifeng slowly opened the door.
Several plainclothes people broke in, and one looked Liu Zifeng up and down, rolled his little eyes and asked, "Where are the documents?" ”
Liu Zifeng calmly took out a small notebook and said: This is my ID, I live alone!
The man drew his pistol and shouted viciously: "We are from the gendarmerie, put your hands up and stand with your back against the wall."
Liu Zifeng stood up according to their requirements, one plainclothes person held a gun at Liu Zifeng, and the others began to rummage through boxes and cabinets in the house.
The room was simple, in addition to the table and chairs, there was a single rattan bed on the wall, on which the bed was covered with thin cotton wool and a blue cloth sheet, and there was a "pillow" wrapped in a package with several pieces of clothing, and the gendarmes did not turn over anything. I had to take people away.
The gendarmes escorted Liu Zifeng downstairs and happened to meet the British patrol on duty at night at the Ministry of Industry. The patrol ordered them to release Liu Zifeng, and the Japanese military police actually pulled the bolt of the gun and confronted the British patrol.
At this time, Hong Licheng came with a team of gendarmes and surrounded the British patrols, who had no choice but to admit softness and let them take Liu Zifeng away.
