Chapter 11 Watanabe speaks
"Yes, I was going to report to you as soon as I got the confession, but I didn't expect you already knew it."
Chu Lingyun explained, but Wang Yuemin didn't blame him. He said directly, "Come on, go in and I'll watch you interrogate."
After saying that, he went into the interrogation room first. He was scolded badly by the director today. Fortunately, the director did not punish him, otherwise, it would be unknown whether he could keep his position as deputy station chief, let alone be promoted.
He is very aware of the strictness of Virgo.
He was now deeply regretful. Why didn't he wait a day, or even half a day, to report the results? This way, he wouldn't be so passive. Moreover, if he caught the person, his room for maneuver would be much greater.
There is no use regretting. Right now, we can only try to make up for it. If we can really follow the clues and catch all these Japanese spies, that will also be a credit.
At that time, you can not only make up for the previous humiliation, but also get praise and substantial rewards from Virgo.
"No tricks yet?"
Back in the interrogation room, Chu Lingyun frowned. There was not a single good spot on Watanabe Ichiro's body. All ten of his fingers were covered in blood, having their nails pulled out and pierced.
His body was covered in blood and whip marks, and his hair was wet, but he still refused to give in, saying that he had come here to make a living because he couldn't survive in the Northeast.
As for the weapons that were found, he explained that they were for self-defense because the world was unsafe.
This kind of lie may be used to fool a three-year-old child, but it is not allowed to fool them.
"No."
The interrogator shook his head and spoke to Chu Lingyun, but secretly glanced at Wang Yuemin behind him.
Both Wang Yuemin and Wang Jialiang are here, which shows how much they value this case. The interrogation team dare not be careless. Although Wang Yuemin is only the deputy station chief, everyone knows that he has the support of the headquarters and has the final say in the station.
There are even rumors that the position of webmaster will be his sooner or later.
"Go straight to electric shock."
Chu Lingyun immediately said that the other party could withstand the current torture, and continuing to repeat the previous punishment would not have much effect.
Electric shock is different. It can be said to be one of the most cruel punishments of this era. Few people can survive it. Electric shock is not a simple electric shock, but a direct stimulation of the nerves throughout the body.
This kind of nerve pain is like a direct whipping of the soul. Most people will have nightmares for the rest of their lives just by feeling it, let alone enduring it.
"yes."
Seeing that Wang Yuemin didn't say anything, the interrogators could only nod. Electric shock, they knew best how terrifying that thing was. They didn't expect that this young action team leader was so cruel and would use electric shock.
Electric shock must be carried out with caution. If not handled properly, it could kill a person. The interrogators were experienced, and Wang Yuemin was present in person, so he was naturally extremely cautious.
Ichiro Watanabe was tied to the electric chair and soon began to howl miserably.
As early as when he was in the Black Dragon Society, he had received professional special training, one of which was to endure punishment. He was confident that he could endure these punishments, but the pain of electric shock shook his confidence.
After all, he was just a small ronin in Japan before.
The so-called ronin are actually ruffians and hooligans. Even if such people are reformed, don't expect them to have absolute faith.
Once the pain they endure exceeds their limit, all their beliefs will collapse.
After less than five minutes in the electric chair, Ichiro Watanabe could no longer bear the pain and was willing to confess.
Admit it.
Wang Yuemin showed a look of joy. As long as he was willing to confess, it would be good. If he was really a Japanese spy, then he would be the first Japanese spy they had arrested since the establishment of their Wuhan station.
Even if the Japanese spy was useless, he could still report to the headquarters and the department.
After the establishment of the Military Intelligence Department, many major stations had never caught Japanese spies. Only Yunnan and Shanghai had precedents. This time, their Wuhan station can be said to have gotten ahead of other major stations.
Chu Lingyun wasted no time. As soon as Watanabe Ichiro was willing to confess, he had him taken down from the electric chair. While he was treating his wounds, he asked, "Name?"
"Ichiro Watanabe." Ichiro Watanabe said weakly.
"Your position, code name." Chu Lingyun continued to ask, and the recorder beside him quickly wrote down the confession.
"A Japanese Special High Police Lieutenant Agent, codename: Owl."
The Special High Section agent was indeed a Japanese spy. Wang Yuemin was even more delighted. This was a Japanese spy who had truly admitted his identity, unlike the previous Asano Ono and Endo Yuki.
He regretted it very much now. Releasing Qian Cang Xiaoye was a big mistake. If he had also given him electric shock yesterday, maybe he would have gotten the result after the interrogation and he wouldn't have made such an embarrassing mistake.
"What is your mission?" Chu Lingyun asked again.
"I'm an observer. My job is to observe and guard the perimeter when intelligence personnel are meeting. But I don't know who the meeting is, only the time and address."
Watanabe Ichiro lowered his head and explained everything honestly.
Soon, Chu Lingyun found out about the observer's situation.
Japan's intelligence agencies are not only rigorous but also extremely strict. Observers and intelligence personnel have no horizontal connections and they don't know each other.
If Qian Cang Xiaoye had not been arrested yesterday, he would have had no idea who the contact person was, and he would have left alone after everything was settled, just like before.
In this way, not only can the observer be prevented from being caught and leaking intelligence personnel, but the observer can also be protected. Even if the intelligence personnel are exposed, no one will know the existence of the observer.
Moreover, the places where observers appear are all meeting places with many people.
This made Chu Lingyun very regretful. According to Watanabe Ichiro's explanation, he had carried out three missions in total during the one year he was in Wuhan. The first two missions were also to observe the surrounding environment and whether the connection was safe.
Nothing happened the previous two times and he escaped successfully, but this time Qian Cang Xiaoye was caught, which implicated him.
The first two actions were taken half a year ago and three months ago.
The locations of the two incidents were different, one was a movie theater and the other was a cafe in the French Concession.
Let’s not talk about the French Concession for now. That was French territory, and even the Military Intelligence Department couldn’t openly investigate there. If they wanted to investigate, they could only do it secretly.
The cinema is a place with many people and eyes. The meeting at the cinema was the first mission that Watanabe Ichiro carried out after arriving in Wuhan, and half a year had passed.
In a place like that, even thinking of getting any results in three days, let alone half a year, would be like a fantasy.
This time the meeting took place in a noodle shop, which is a crowded place. The intersection was also very busy, with many breakfast shops around. If Wang Jialiang and the others had not monitored Qian Cang Xiaoye in advance, even if they knew afterwards that someone had taken over here, they would not have been able to find out who it was.
Chu Lingyun couldn't get the previous result, so he could only focus on asking Yang Jian.
According to Ichiro Watanabe, he didn't know who Yang Jian was, he only knew that this was an emergency call and he was not allowed to make this call unless something happened.
After calling back, he reported the situation in code. Because he knew a little French, the other party instructed him to report to the Frenchman Henry and let the French intervene.
When giving instructions, I specifically told him to use a public phone to make the call.
However, Watanabe Ichiro was rather arrogant and thought he was fine, so he did not change the public phone. He was lazy and made the reporting call directly on the spot. Eventually, Chu Lingyun found this important clue.
