No. 76, Jisfield Road.
Li Cuiqun stood outside interrogation room No. 3, opened the round glass exploration port, and saw Zhao Qi, who was tied to the rack and whipped to a bloody mess.
"Have you spoken?" he asked Wan Haiyang.
"No." Wan Haiyang shook his head. "I thought he would be a soft bone who only cared about pleasure, but I didn't expect him to be so tough."
"Increase the torture." Li Cuiqun said in a deep voice, "This man is the director of the Shanghai District Intelligence Department. He has the list of intelligence agents in the Shanghai District."
"I understand." Wan Haiyang nodded.
"Well done." Li Cuiqun praised.
In this operation, Wan Haiyang not only successfully arrested Yao Changgen, the accountant of the Shanghai district, but also successfully captured Zhao Qi, the director of the Shanghai district intelligence department. It can be said that it was a good start.
"Where are Zhang Ying and the maid, Aunt Qiu?" Li Cuiqun asked.
"He is being held in cell number six." Wan Haiyang said, "We were worried that Yao Changgen might play tricks on us and use us to kill us, so we staged a show. Now it seems that Yao Changgen is really willing to surrender."
"Lock them up first." Li Cuiqun said, "Who knows, these two people may be useful in the future."
"clear."
……
"Director." Dong Zhengguo hurried over.
"How are things going over there?" Li Cuiqun asked.
"We've sent someone to keep an eye on Kuang Xiaoyi." Dong Zhengguo said, "Director, do you think we should arrest him now? Or should we keep him for now?"
"Since Kuang Xiaoyi has revealed his true colors, let's keep an eye on him and see what clues we can dig out from him." Li Cuiqun said after thinking for a while.
"Director, what I mean is, arrest him." Wan Haiyang suddenly said, "This person is Zhao Qi's spy in the police station. Logically, his superior is Zhao Qi, so he doesn't have much value. However, if this person stays in the police station, if he finds out that Zhao Qi is missing, it could be bad news."
"Then catch him." Li Cuiqun thought about it and nodded, saying that Wan Haiyang's concerns were correct.
"Okay." Dong Zhengguo said immediately, "I'll rush over and contact the French Concession Political Department to secretly arrest this person."
"Go ahead." Li Cuiqun nodded slightly. Watching Dong Zhengguo leave in a hurry, he turned to Wan Haiyang and said, "Leave the interrogation of Zhao Qi to your men. The most important thing now is to see what important information we can get from Yao Changgen. This man is very valuable."
"I understand." Wan Haiyang nodded excitedly.
He was naturally very aware of Yao Changgen's great value.
……
Xiafei District, Police Station, Office of the Fifth Patrol Chief.
"Chen Farong, living in Kaideli?" Lao Mao asked as he took the registration letter presented by Kuang Xiaoyi.
"Yes, Chen Farong, his mother-in-law Zhang Ying, and the maid Qiu Ma, all three were taken away by No. 76." Kuang Xiaoyi said.
"What's the charge?" asked Old Man.
"Doesn't it say above that they are anti-Japanese elements who are destroying the friendship between Japan and China?" Kuang Xiaoyi said sarcastically.
"Okay, let's not talk about some things." Lao Mao flicked the paper and said, "You know what the current situation is. The British and Americans are so powerful, aren't they? Now the International Settlement is occupied by the Japanese."
As he spoke, he shook his head and said, "Who knows, when will this French Concession also become Japanese?"
"No way." Kuang Xiaoyi was stunned. "Now the French are allies of the Germans. With the support of the Germans, the Japanese dare not attack the French Concession."
"God knows." Old Man Mao flicked the ash from his cigarette and said.
……
Just at this moment, an inspector came in hurriedly.
"Captain, No. 76 has arrested a man and taken him away," said the inspector.
"I know about this." Lao Mao said, raising the document in his hand.
"It's not the three from Keddery," the inspector said. "A citizen of Kangmin Apartment reported that a criminal broke into the apartment. After my subordinates investigated, they found out that it was the people from No. 76 who broke in and took someone away."
Lao Mao immediately looked at Kuang Xiaoyi.
Kuang Xiaoyi shook his head. "I followed them to Kaideli and saw them come back after arresting Chen Farong's family. I didn't hear them say they were going to arrest people elsewhere."
"You just watch them take the person away?" Lao Mao glared at his men.
"When I arrived, they had already taken the men away," the inspector explained. "Based on their description, I guessed they might be No. 76."
"Has anyone seen anyone from the Political Department at Kangmin Apartment?" Kuang Xiaoyi asked immediately.
"No." Inspector Cao Min shook his head.
"Let me make a call." Lao Mao frowned and picked up the phone. "This is Xiafei Police Station, asking for the External Relations Office of the Political Department."
The call was quickly connected.
"Okay, I know." Lao Mao hung up the phone, looked at the two people, and said, "It was the person arrested by No. 76. When they passed the checkpoint, they greeted the people in the Political Department and said that the man was Chen Farong's accomplice."
"What the hell is this!" Cao Min said indignantly, "They arrested us first and reported us later. They simply didn't take us seriously."
……
"Captain, what is the name of the man they captured?" Kuang Xiaoyi said with an idea in his mind.
"I know this," Cao Min said. "According to the neighbors of Kangmin Apartment, the man who was arrested is called Ouyang Hua."
As he said this, he clicked his tongue and said, "Do you know who Ouyang Hua lives with? It's Cherry, the dancer from Ciro's, the one with the perky butt."
As he spoke, Cao Min smiled and gestured.
Kuang Xiaoyi was stunned. Ouyang Hua was the pseudonym of Director Zhao Qi.
He didn't know whether the Ouyang Hua who was captured by No. 76 was Zhao Qi, or maybe they just had the same name?
However, his intuition told him that the possibility of coincidence was very small.
problem occurs? !
"You kid, stop talking dirty. Look how you have attracted Xiaoyi. He is stunned." Lao Mao pointed at Cao Min and looked at Kuang Xiaoyi meaningfully.
When Kuang Xiaoyi came to his senses, he looked embarrassed.
"Okay, I'll report to Lutou tomorrow, you all can go now." said Lao Mao.
……
A few minutes later.
"Patrol Captain." Kuang Xiaoyi pushed open the door of Patrol Captain Five's office again.
"What's the matter?" asked Old Man Mao.
"Captain, my stomach is not feeling well. I'm going home to get some medicine," said Kuang Xiaoyi.
"Go ahead." Old Man nodded.
"Thank you, Patrolman."
"Wait a moment." Lao Mao called out to Kuang Xiaoyi.
"Captain, is there anything else?" Kuang Xiaoyi asked.
"Carrying a gun, late at night, things are a mess lately, not very peaceful." said Lao Mao.
"Patrolman." Kuang Xiaoyi raised his head and looked at Lao Mao. He nodded vigorously, "I know."
Standing at the window, watching Kuang Xiaoyi's back as he left in the yard, Lao Mao's expression became serious and he suddenly sighed.
……
About an hour later.
The door to Patrol Sergeant Five's office was pushed open.
"Inspector Xue?" Lao Mao was surprised to see that the person who came in was Xue Daolin, the deputy squad leader of the Political Department's Investigation Team. "Inspector Xue is here so late at night. What's going on?"
His heart skipped a beat, because Xue Daolin was surrounded by not only detectives from the investigation team, but also several unfamiliar faces, and most importantly, a Japanese military police officer.
"Where is Kuang Xiaoyi?" Xue Daolin asked with a serious face.
"Isn't he in the police station?" asked Old Man in surprise.
"If we were in the police station, why would I ask you this?" Xue Daolin asked in a bad tone.
"Inspector Xue!" Seeing this, Lao Mao's face darkened. "You broke into my office with a few people in the middle of the night and started questioning my men. I still have to ask you what you mean!"
"Kuang Xiaoyi is a Chongqing traitor." Xue Daolin said in a deep voice, "The Political Department has been ordered to cooperate with our Japanese allies to capture Kuang Xiaoyi, a Chongqing traitor!"
"Kuang Xiaoyi is a Chongqing traitor?" Lao Mao was stunned. "Don't be ridiculous. How could he be a Chongqing traitor?"
"Old man, I don't have time to joke with you!" Xue Daolin said coldly, "Where is Kuang Xiaoyi?"
"Cao Min! Cao Min!" shouted Lao Mao.
"Patrolman." Cao Min ran in.
"Where is Kuang Xiaoyi?" asked Lao Mao.
"I didn't see him." Cao Min said, "He said his stomach felt uncomfortable, so he must have gone to the toilet."
"Inspector Xue, look..." said the old man.
"Go check the toilet." Xue Daolin ordered.
Soon, the men came back to report, "Inspector, there's no one in the toilet!"
……
Xue Daolin looked at Lao Mao.
"Then I don't know." Old Mao shook his head.
"How can you be a patrol captain?" Xue Daolin scolded, "Your subordinates disappeared during the night shift, and you knew nothing about it."
"Inspector Xue, Kuang Xiaoyi is a living person with hands and feet. I don't know what Chongqing element he is, so how do I know where he has gone?" The old man said angrily, sitting down on the chair.
"Mr. Huajian." Xue Daolin looked at the Japanese military police officer, "What do you think?"
"The patrol officer from the police station turned out to be a member of Chongqing. Now he is missing. You must give an explanation to the Empire of Japan." Hanama Kumasaburo said with a cold face.
"Old man, send someone to take us to Kuang Xiaoyi's home." Xue Daolin said, "No, you take us to catch Kuang Xiaoyi yourself, and you can pray to God to catch him."
"It's not my fault anyway." The old man muttered, stood up impatiently, and picked up his police hat. "Cao Min, arrange a few people to follow me, and you stay on duty."
"Yes!"
……
Hengfali.
Kuang Xiaoyi had changed into casual clothes. He hid at the entrance of the alley, looking at the door of No. 11 Hengfa Li.
He wanted to knock on the door to inquire about the situation, but he was hesitant.
According to regulations, he was not allowed to come to the director's home for a meeting.
Moreover, he had already made a warning call before, so if nothing unexpected happened, the director should not be at home at this time.
Just at this moment, he caught a glimpse of flickering lights deep in the alley of Hengfa.
Is this someone smoking in the dark?
Kuang Xiaoyi was shocked.
He immediately realized that something was wrong. Was someone lying in ambush near the director's house?
Without any hesitation, Kuang Xiaoyi turned around and left.
"Who?" a voice asked.
Kuang Xiaoyi did not stop, but lowered his head and continued on his way.
"stop!"
Hearing the sound of someone running after him, Kuang Xiaoyi started running.
"Stop, or will you shoot me?"
boom!
Kuang Xiaoyi quickly drew his gun, fired a shot without looking back, and then continued to run wildly.
Bang bang bang!
When Kuang Xiaoyi climbed over the wall, he felt a pain on his shoulder. He fell off the wall directly, then endured the severe pain and continued to run.
……
Xiafei District, Minshengli.
Lu Dazhang, wearing pajamas and a coat, met Cao Min, who was sweating profusely.
"What happened?" Lu Dazhang asked with a frown.
"Lutou, something happened." Cao Min said anxiously, "Inspector Xue from the Political Department brought No. 76 and the Japanese to the police station to arrest Kuang Xiaoyi."
"What did Kuang Xiaoyi do wrong?" Lu Dazhang asked.
"Inspector Xue said Kuang Xiaoyi is from Chongqing," said Cao Min.
"Is Kuang Xiaoyi a member of Chongqing?" Lu Dazhang was surprised. "So, the No. 76 gang has been making so much trouble these days just to catch Kuang Xiaoyi?"
"No." Cao Min shook his head. "They first arrested Kaideli's family of three, then arrested another person in Kangmin Apartments, and now they are here to arrest Kuang Xiaoyi."
"Why are you panicking?" Lu Dazhang scolded, "What a mess. Sorry to tell you everything from the beginning. Speak slowly."
……
"So, they first arrested Chen Farong and his family of three from Kaideli, and then arrested Ouyang Hua from Kangmin Apartment." Lu Dazhang frowned and asked, "Finally, those Chongqing elements gave away Kuang Xiaoyi?"
"That should be the case." Cao Min was stunned for a moment and nodded.
"Let me make a call." Lu Dazhang said.
He picked up the phone, "This is Lu Dazhang, I want to ask for the duty station of the External Liaison Office of the Political Department."
Two minutes later, Lu Dazhang hung up the phone, his face gloomy and uncertain.
"The road?"
"Someone from the External Liaison Office of the Political Department said that someone from Chongqing had betrayed Kuang Xiaoyi," said Lu Dazhang.
"Lutou, how could Kuang Xiaoyi be a Chongqing person?" Cao Min shook his head and said.
"Alright." Lu Dazhang said unhappily, "I know about this matter. As long as Kuang Xiaoyi is innocent, I will communicate with Director Shangguan of the Political Department."
"But……"
"No buts." Lu Dazhang said coldly. He looked at the anxious Cao Min and said, "You know what the situation is now. This kind of thing is not something you can get involved in. I will personally inquire about it after work tomorrow."
"Yes." Cao Min nodded helplessly.
……
After Cao Min left, Lu Dazhang paced back and forth in the living room.
Judging from the existing intelligence, Operation No. 76 should be aimed at Chongqing.
And it looks like a great harvest.
If Kuang Xiaoyi is indeed a member of Chongqing, then the person who can obtain the identity of the agent who infiltrated the police station must be of a different status.
It is assumed that Kuang Xiaoyi's identity was confessed by one of the people arrested by Unit 76 tonight.
This means that No. 76 at least caught a big fish.
He hesitated.
The situation was urgent, so he should have called Cheng's house immediately and informed Comrade "Huo Miao" of the situation.
However, Lu Dazhang felt vaguely that he couldn't do this.
……
A hidden corner outside the alley of Minshengli.
"Was that person just now Cao Min from the police station?" Dong Zhengguo asked in a low voice.
"Yes, that's right." One of the men nodded. "Chief, how did you know that the police station would send someone out to report the news?"
"Chief, Cao Min went to Lu Dazhang's house just now. Does this mean there is something wrong with Lu Dazhang?" Duan Pengfei asked.
"We don't know yet whether there is something wrong with Lu Dazhang." Dong Zhengguo shook his head.
Lu Dazhang is a senior police officer of the Xiafei District Police Station and also a veteran detective of the Xiafei District. He is the old superior of Lao Mao. When there were Chongqing elements among Lao Mao's subordinates, he arranged for people to report to Lu Dazhang. This in itself makes sense logically.
but……
"As for whether there is something wrong with Lu Dazhang, you will know if you keep an eye on him." Dong Zhengguo snorted coldly and said.
"Keep a close eye on them and see if anyone comes out." Dong Zhengguo said, "Also, remember to arrange for someone to go to the telegraph office after dawn to see if Lu Dazhang made any calls tonight. Especially the outgoing calls, find out who the calls were made to and when they were made."
"I see!" Duan Pengfei nodded and said with admiration, "Section Chief is very smart!"
