"How's that guy doing?"
"You'll wake up soon, Shaozuo."
"Keep an eye on him."
"Hai."
.........
In Mimi Lake, Xu Enzeng heard someone talking in Japanese. Although he didn't know what the other person was talking about, the situation was obviously different from what he thought. It was not Zuo Zhong and Ling Sanping who stunned him.
He opened his eyes forcefully, and what he saw was a dark basement with various torture tools and braziers. There were three Japanese soldiers standing next to him, and he was tied to a shelf.
No, I was captured.
Xu Enzeng was sweating profusely after understanding the situation, but he couldn't believe it.
The taste of those pills was exactly the same as the pills Ling Sanping fed him during the Northeast Operation. There was no way he could go wrong with this.
Could this be a play Zuo Zhong put on for himself?
The more he thought about it, the more it made sense, and he immediately yelled: "Bah, you surnamed Zuo, you have the ability to arrest people, you have the ability to come out, you can't be a hero if you hide your head and show your tail, I tell you, I am not afraid..." "
Unfortunately, without saying a word, he saw through the iron gate a man in a Guojun uniform being dragged away. It looked like he was dead. At the same time, the people coming and going outside were also dressed as Japanese soldiers.
Looking at the people in the room, no one was a familiar face. Xu Enzeng had seen all the files of the middle and senior management of the Secret Service and even most of the staff of the headquarters. These Japanese were definitely not among them.
He slowly closed his mouth and his legs kept shaking. It seemed that he was really captured by the Japanese, but how did the other party know his identity? He was recuperating in Gongji Hospital without telling anyone.
Could it be that that bastard Long Wu betrayed him?
He felt this was the only possibility.
In fact, after his many self-introductions, even the old man sweeping the floor knew that there was some kind of director of the secret service headquarters coming to Gongji Hospital.
In short, after putting the blame for revealing his identity on Long Wu, Xu Enzeng began to regret getting too close to the gangster and fell into extreme fear.
He knew very well that as the director of the secret service headquarters, once he fell into the hands of the Japanese, he would definitely be tortured to force confessions (to prevent harmony) in order to drain all the intelligence value.
Moreover, in the Hongkou Airport incident, he ruined the Japanese plan to frame the government. I am afraid that the other party would have hated him so much that he would have to shed his skin this time even if he did not die.
"Hello Xu Sang."
At this time, the Japanese soldiers in the room saw Xu Enzeng waking up. Shao Zuo, who had spoken before, slowly walked up to him, greeted him very politely, and then spoke in unskilled Chinese.
"We are all colleagues, so I won't waste time. I want to know the list of lurking personnel at the secret agent headquarters in Shanghai, as well as the location of secret liaison stations and transportation stations and the status of weapons and equipment.
In addition, we also need information from the Secret Service, such as the information on Dai Chunfeng and Zuo Zhong. You are both affiliated with the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. This information should not be a secret to you.
Life is precious. I hope Xu Sang can seize the opportunity and not let me down. If you are willing to cooperate, money, beauty, and even positions in the new government in the future will not be a problem. "
After saying that, the man walked to the burning stove, picked up the poker and poked the red fire. A few sparks flew up and landed in the chili water on the side, making a sizzling sound.
"No, I say!"
"I said it all!"
Before his voice fell, Xu Enzeng sold his subordinates at lightning speed. He told all the information about the Shanghai station of the secret agent headquarters in great detail.
With this information, the Japanese can wipe out all the Shanghai stations without any effort. A special agent probably never imagined until his death that they were killed by their immediate boss.
As for the intelligence of the Secret Service, Xu Enzeng gave a complete account of the information of Dai Chunfeng and Zuo Zhong, the cases they had worked on, and the awards they had received. It was more complete than the personnel files of the national government.
It can be seen that this guy has been holding back his evil for a long time, otherwise there is no need to remember it so clearly.
Perhaps in order to please the Japanese, he also took the initiative to tell the situation of the investigation rooms of various party headquarters. If Minister Chen knew that his good cousin was doing this, he would probably have him killed.
The Japanese Army Major Zuo smiled with satisfaction and ordered his men to record everything Xu Enzeng said on the eucalyptus, and gave him the confession to sign and stamp. After doing this, he came to the door and waited respectfully for something.
With a creaking sound, the iron door was opened, and several people walked in slowly. It was Zuo Zhong, Wu Chunyang, Ling Sanping, and Song Minghao with different expressions.
"Hahahaha, long time no see, Lao Xu."
Zuo Zhong put his hands on his hips and looked at the stunned Xu Enzeng with a smile on his face. A cold light flashed in his eyes. Faced with the Japanese interrogation, this bastard surrendered without even resisting.
Fortunately, this interrogation was fake. If it were true, it would be fine. The government's intelligence power in Shanghai was wiped out. The anti-Japanese soldiers on the front line did not know how much they would pay.
"You and I..."
Xu Enzeng was angry and frightened. He hesitated for a long time, and finally managed a smile: "Director Zuo, I knew it was you. Look, I'll do a little trick and you'll be exposed. Come on, put your brother down quickly." .
We are all our own people, don't behave like life and death enemies. It will be bad if it affects unity. Fighting in the nest also violates the leader's instructions. Don't worry, I will never tell others about this matter today. "
In his words, his surrender to the enemy turned into taking advantage of the situation, and the secret service turned into a bad guy who broke the rules. It has to be said that Xu Enzeng has something in terms of confusing right and wrong.
"Chunyang, play the recording for Director Xu."
Zuo Zhong was too lazy to talk nonsense to this guy and waved to him.
"yes."
Wu Chunyang took out a wire recorder from the corner, and after flipping the switch, Xu Enzeng's voice was played through the speaker. The groveling expression in his words was nauseating to hear.
"Is there anything else you can say, Lao Xu, if this recording is heard by the leader, think about what your fate will be, whether in prison or on the execution ground. I am afraid that Minister Chen will not be able to save you."
Zuo Zhong first frightened the other party, then pointed at him and said with a look of regret: "You are also an old man who has been educated by the party and state for many years. How can you surrender to the enemy? Zuo is so disappointed.
For the sake of you and me, we went to the Northeast together to perform a mission, Chunyang, put Director Xu down and give him a good time.
When he reported back to Jinling, he said that Xu Enzeng, the director of the Secret Service Headquarters, was captured by the Japanese army, resisted tenaciously, and died heroically. "
After speaking, he sighed again: "Old Xu, there is no need to thank me. I promise to take good care of my sisters-in-law and prevent them from being wronged. In the next life, remember to be an upright Chinese and not a traitor."
Having said this, Zuo Zhong turned around and left.
Xu Enzeng suddenly became anxious. He still had a lot of money to spend, and he had so many unmarried concubines. How could he die here?
As the saying goes, anger arises from the heart and evil arises from the courage. He shouted at Zuo Zhong's back.
"Grandpa Zuo, please forgive me this time. I promise not to cause trouble with you again in the future. If you ask me to go east, I will never go west. The whole secret service headquarters is at your disposal and I dare not break my promise.
Ling Sanping, please say something. We are going through life and death together in the Northeast. You can't just ignore death. Don't forget, if I hadn't endured the humiliation and sent those women away, your kid would have been eaten. "
He knew that Ling Sanping was a doctor in the Secret Service and a confidant of Zuo Zhong. If the other party was willing to intercede, Zuo would be able to give him some face. As a man who can bend and stretch, calling him grandpa is nothing.
Hey young, there is an unexpected gain.
Zuo Zhong glanced at Ling Sanping and said to himself: I didn't expect that a guy like you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also learn this bad lesson. It turns out that people who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black.
He pretended to hesitate and asked, "Doctor Ling, what do you say?"
Ling Sanping frowned, then let out a long sigh: "Deputy Director, Director Xu may have a last resort, why don't we give him a chance to avoid the higher-ups misunderstanding that we are setting up a trap.
The war with the Japanese has just begun. The secret service headquarters is responsible for a lot of intelligence work. If the director of the first branch dies here, it may affect the war. It is better to consider this matter in the long term. "
What a silly misunderstanding!
You are clearly setting up a trap!
Xu Enzeng felt his teeth itching with hatred, but on the surface he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, let's take a long-term view, Deputy Director Zuo, as long as you let me go, I will give you generous gifts when you return to Jinling.
The same goes for all the brothers present. In addition, if we encounter a situation like today again, Xu will definitely persist to the end. If he can't do it, I will be struck by five thunderbolts from the sky and he will die miserably!"
He offered benefits, swore and acted ugly, trying his best to escape.
From this point of view, if this guy is really caught by the Japanese, he will definitely surrender to the enemy.
But what does this have to do with Zuo Zhong? The person named Xu is not his son.
Pretending to think about it for a few minutes, Zuo Zhong gestured to the students he borrowed from the Qingpu class to put Xu Enzeng down, and then he approached them and lowered his voice to talk about the terms.
Rich gifts are something that will happen in the future. This bastard wants to leave here in vain. There is no door, so the two of them talked for a long time under everyone's gaze.
I saw Xu Enzeng was like a chameleon, his face turned white and red for a while. After performing the face change, he rubbed his swollen wrist and asked a question with a suspicious look on his face.
"Zuo Zhong, you're not lying to me, are you? With such a good thing, why doesn't the Secret Service go there by itself?"
"It's not that we lost too many manpower in raiding the Japanese strongholds and punishing the traitors. Otherwise, how could I have benefited you? Besides, I can bluff you with your wisdom."
Zuo Zhong's left face says sincerity, and the right face says sincerity, telling the truth about the current predicament.
Song Minghao and the others next to him didn't know what the deputy director and Xu Enzeng were talking about, but they quickly turned their heads when they heard this, fearing that they would laugh out loud.
After two large-scale operations, the agents of the Secret Service in Shanghai have indeed suffered a lot of losses. The problem is that no matter how short of personnel they are, they don't need the help of that bunch of rubbish.
Take the battle of Jiujiawei as an example. If it weren't for the people from the secret service headquarters, none of the underground party members who escaped would have been able to escape. I really don't know whether they were there to perform official duties or to cause trouble.
"That's true. With my wisdom, you definitely can't deceive me."
Xu Enzeng actually nodded, then rolled his eyes and made a suggestion: "How about we do this together, the first and second offices join forces, we will definitely succeed immediately and be invincible."
It is said that one learns from the experience of others. Even if what the other party said was true, he was still a little worried. After all, he had been deceived too many times.
Oops, this Wang Ba Dan is too smart.
Zuo Zhong's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and his expression immediately changed: "Am I giving you face? I'm not discussing this with you. You have to do this whether you do it or not. Don't force me to send the tape to Jinling. .”
"No, I'm just asking, asking."
Xu Enzeng laughed dryly, cursing in his heart that he was really a dog, and he would fall out whenever he said he would.
But then I thought about it, the person named Zuo shouldn't lie about this. Setting up a trap to frame him and setting up a trap to frame the secret service headquarters are two different concepts.
The former is a personal grudge, but the latter is serious. If it doesn't happen, you will be called a traitor. It is impossible for such a smart person to do such an unwise thing. It seems that the Secret Service is really short of manpower.
Should we secretly inform the Japanese about this and throw the blame on Zuo Zhong? A vicious plan flashed through his mind, but he was a little unsure about paying attention.
After thinking again and again, he lowered his head and said with a smile like a bitch: "I will immediately follow your instructions, Deputy Director Zuo. Please wait for my good news."
Xu Enzeng said as he limped and prepared to leave. He made up his mind to inquire about the news before deciding what to do.
Anyway, he just promised that he would do it, and he didn't say when he would do it. The man named Zuo couldn't go to his territory to confront him.
"Wait a minute."
Not wanting Zuo Zhong to reach out and stop him, he said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Director Xu, do you think I'm a fool? Just call your people here and order them to gather and wait for orders.
It's not that I don't believe you, it's really a very important matter. In order to prevent the news from leaking, no one present today is allowed to leave, including me. I'm sure Director Xu won't mind. "
At the same time, Song Minghao and Wu Chunyang walked quietly to both sides of Xu Enzeng and took out the ppk in their hands, as if they wanted to test whether it was his mouth or the bullet that was stronger.
"I don't mind, I don't mind."
Xu Enzeng smiled as if he was crying, and shook his head in denial: "It is Xu's honor to be able to perform tasks with Deputy Director Zuo. I am too late to be happy, so how can I have any objections?"
"That's good, come here, connect a secret line from the telephone pole outside, and find a telephone. Hurry up, don't delay our Director Xu's business."
Zuo Zhong hugged his neck tightly, pretending to be a brother-in-law, then turned to look at the student he borrowed from the Qingpu class, smiled with a hint of meaning, and issued the gag order.
"You guys haven't seen anything or heard anything today. Do you understand?"
"Yes, sir."
A certain man surnamed Li with a weak brain, a certain man surnamed Yu who was good at Stiepank's theorem, and a certain man surnamed Xu who was proficient in cheating and taking advantage of others, replied excitedly.
They didn't know what kind of luck they had, but they were seconded to perform tasks under the deputy director. According to instructor Yu Xingle, this person was the actual person in charge of the Secret Service.
Once the three of them are favored by the other party, their future will be bright, and they all secretly made up their minds that no matter who asked, they could not talk about this matter, and they had to keep it secret even if they were beaten to death.
Zuo Zhong didn't know what the three young trainees were thinking. He was just doing this to satisfy his bad taste. In the intelligence industry, these newcomers still have a lot to learn. If they want to obey orders under him, they must at least live a good life. several years.
On the other side, the agents quickly connected the line. Xu Enzeng reluctantly gave orders to his cronies. After making the phone call, he jumped up and sat down on the interrogation chair, which was not taboo at all.
"Hahaha, Lao Xu, don't be so unhappy."
Looking at his angry old enemy, Zuo Zhong persuaded him with a playful smile. Seeing that the other party didn't respond, he raised his hand and looked at his watch, then walked out of the interrogation room in a swagger.
Xu Enzeng's lungs were about to burst with anger. The man named Zuo kept his word, saying that no one was allowed to go out, no matter what the matter was. After a short while, he ran away.
Not a son of man!
That's too much!
But facing the Secret Service personnel who were armed with live ammunition, he could only suppress his anger and tell himself over and over in his heart that he must hold back and find a way to avenge today's killing after he escaped from Zuo Zhong's clutches.
Besides, Zuo Zhong left the interrogation room and walked slowly to an office. He picked up the phone on the table and dialed two numbers. He told the other party in code words that everything should go according to plan.
After assigning the task, he came to the window and looked at the water plant that was bombed beyond recognition. He crossed his arms and thought for a long time. The setting sun shone into the room little by little, lengthening his back.
When night fell completely, he turned around and walked out of the water plant with firm steps. Whether things were what he thought was going to be confirmed soon, he hoped that he was right.
Two hours later.
"biu~~~~"
At the edge of the deserted public concession, a flare suddenly rose in the dark night sky. Amidst the harsh explosions, it illuminated the surrounding dilapidated buildings, making the black shadows look like ghosts.
A car was driving quickly on the road. The Japanese boy Zuo Yamamoto, who had been talking to Okawauchi Renshi before, was sitting in the back seat, looking at the outside with cold eyes, with lingering worry on his face.
He had just returned from Gongji Hospital, because Xu Enzeng, who was supposed to be recuperating there, disappeared, and several spies responsible for surveillance also disappeared, leaving no trace at the scene.
Did the other party run away or was he kidnapped?
Will this matter affect the Deep Sea Project?
These two questions lingered in Yamamoto's mind. It didn't matter whether Xu Enzeng ran or not. There were many imperial intelligence officers in the secret service headquarters and the national government, and they knew many things better than the other party.
Instigating rebellion is considered more from a political and military perspective.
Tokyo wants to win over the pro-Japanese and neutral forces in the Kuomintang Party, and Xu Enzeng is the best breakthrough point and serves as a primer.
After all, even the head of the intelligence agency chose the empire. It is not difficult to imagine what other people would think. At least Dean Wang had enough reasons to attack someone.
Using the world as a chess piece, all living beings as sons, and subduing others without fighting is the highest level of war. Those big men like to conquer the enemy in this way.
The morale of the Chinese soldiers on the front line will definitely be low when they know that such an important official has surrendered to the empire, so that the Locust Army can take advantage of the opportunity and occupy the city as soon as possible.
This battle can no longer be fought. From the beginning of July to now, not only the Chinese have exhausted everything, but the empire is also exhausted.
The country has begun calling on citizens to cut down on clothing and diet, with each person eating only two meals a day, and the saved materials will be used to support the front line to achieve His Majesty's great cause.
The so-called three months to conquer China has become a big joke. It may not take three months, and the imperial finances will go bankrupt before the Republic of China is defeated.
Yamamoto understood that in order to win the war as soon as possible, intelligence was the key.
To be more specific, Zuo Zhong is the opponent who must be eradicated to make the Chinese understand the consequences of going against the empire.
There is no room for error in the deep-sea plan!
He thought of what Minister Maeda said before coming to China.
"If a tachyon has a sharp thorn, you must remove it as quickly as possible, otherwise one day it will poke into your skin, become red, swollen, and fester until it makes you miserable."
The meaning of this sentence is obvious. Maeda Minoru is dissatisfied with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Army for allowing Zuoshige to sabotage imperial intelligence operations many times.
Although Army Red Deer had tried to assassinate the opponent before, they also used the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain and sent two gunmen to intercept him halfway. Unfortunately, the method was too rough and he was killed by Zuo Zhong instead.
The group of non-citizens in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are even more incompetent. It seems that there are many people lurking in Jinling in the Extra-High School, but they are all cowardly and unable to collect any important information. It has completely disgraced the empire.
When Yamamoto came to Shanghai this time, he shouldered the important task of pulling out thorns for the empire. Apart from that, nothing else mattered.
The car drove a long way amid the bumps and came to a remote side street. He saw a house with lights on not far away, and patted the driver's shoulder to signal for the car to stop.
After the vehicle stopped, Yamamoto opened the door and quietly walked into the darkness, quickly disappeared into the night, and the car turned around and left.
The streets returned to their usual calm. A kitten jumped over the wall lightly, but when it landed, it let out a shrill scream and ran into the grass, causing the residents next to it to curse loudly.
After a while, a dark figure slowly climbed up from the ground, patted the dust on its body and walked out of the hiding place, moving furtively towards the light.
Walking under the moonlight, Yamamoto watched the surroundings vigilantly. He was not paranoid just now. The driver was Okawauchi Denshichi, who was not trustworthy. When it came to the deep-sea project, no matter how cautious he was, he could not be too cautious.
He quickly arrived outside a Shikumen house, pushed the door open without knocking, and strode straight to the living room without any hesitation, as if he was very familiar with this place.
At this time, there was a middle-aged man and a woman eating in the middle of the living room. When they saw Yamamoto coming uninvited, the two continued to chat and laugh as if nothing happened.
In this weird atmosphere, Yamamoto walked to the east wall of the living room without squinting, raised his hand and pushed forward hard. A secret door half a man's height appeared on the originally smooth wall. It was dark and he didn't know where it led.
He bent down and got in, and asked to continue to be vigilant before closing the secret door, and the only sound left in the room was the rapid clatter of bowls.
In the secret passage, Yamamoto walked in the dark for more than ten minutes and came to a ladder. He climbed to the top and knocked on the top of his head. After a burst of noise, bright light shone on his face.
Under the light, a short man in plain clothes stretched out his hand to pull him up, then stood upright on the spot, bowed deeply and spoke in Japanese.
"Shao Zuo."
"Is everything normal?"
"everything is normal."
"Be alert, the enemy will attack at any time."
"Hai."
Yamamoto briefly spoke to the short man, looked at the two navy version Type 92 heavy machine guns, and showed a satisfied smile.
As long as the Secret Service dares to come, the powerful muskets will teach the Chinese people a painful lesson. Zuo Zhong, he is sure to catch it!
