Chapter 28 It's a Big Fish
"I'm Chinese, but I've lived in Japan for more than ten years."
Huang Baichuan spoke weakly. Chu Lingyun didn't waste any words and continued to ask: "Who is the woman with you? What are your missions?"
"The one with me is Keiko, Chishima Keiko, my wife. She is a captain of the Special High Police and also my supervisor, codenamed Nighteyes."
After Huang Baichuan confessed, he did not hide anything and told everything he was asked.
Only then did Chu Lingyun realize that among the two people, the woman's rank was higher than the man, and the man was the woman's subordinate.
According to Huang Baichuan's account, his family was a wealthy businessmen who went to Japan in their early years and mainly engaged in cross-border trade between the two sides, accumulating a lot of wealth.
While in Japan, he met Keiko Chishima and the two later got married.
But he didn't know that Chishima Keiko was an agent and she had a mission with her when she approached him. In this way, Huang Baichuan was developed by Chishima Keiko into a subordinate, and used the Huang family's business to engage in intelligence work.
Over the years, the Huang family not only provided Chishima Keiko with a lot of intelligence, but also gave her a lot of financial support.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Three years ago, the Huang family’s transport fleet encountered a typhoon and lost several merchant ships, which almost caused the Huang family to go bankrupt and their financial situation was much worse than before.
After the Huang family fell into decline, the intelligence they could provide was limited, and Huang Baichuan's role also declined significantly.
But after all, he was married to Chishima Keiko, and their relationship was pretty good. Chishima Keiko did not give up on him, and brought him back to China to continue his intelligence work.
Huang Baichuan has limited abilities and is not qualified for the work of a front-line intelligence officer, so he can only be assigned to be an observer, with the same job and level as Watanabe Ichiro.
According to Huang Baichuan's confession, he and Chishima Keiko came to Wuhan two years ago. Chishima Keiko was a security officer whose main job was to control the observers under him, give them mission orders, and screen some intelligence personnel.
It can be said that between the two of them, the main work is done by Keiko Chishima.
Japan's intelligence organization is very strict. Even if a couple is involved, they are not allowed to inquire about matters that are not within their work scope.
Huang Baichuan only knew his job and tasks, but he had no idea what specific work Keiko Chishima did.
Moreover, the radio station was controlled by Keiko Chishima, and all communications with the top leaders of the Special High Police were sent by Keiko Chishima herself, and the code book was also kept and hidden by Keiko Chishima.
Just like the last emergency report from Watanabe Ichiro, the instructions were also given by Chishima Keiko, and he was just a mouthpiece.
Because Huang Baichuan was with Keiko Chishima, he did not have a dead mailbox. During his two years in Wuhan, he carried out five missions.
Like Ichiro Watanabe, he didn't know who the contact intelligence officer was or where the contact was. He was only responsible for observing the surrounding environment. After the time limit passed and he was sure that everything was fine, he would leave.
Every time they went to a crowded place, such explanation had no effect on Chu Lingyun.
"Captain, this Chishima Keiko is a real big fish."
After the interrogation, Loach said excitedly that Huang Baichuan actually didn't confess much. He only knew that Chishima Keiko controlled three observers, and except for him, he had never seen the other two.
He didn't even know where the other two people's dead mailboxes were. Every time a mission was delivered, it was Keiko Chishima who went there personally and never asked him to do it for her.
"You're right. I didn't expect that of the two, the woman is the better one. Her value is extremely high."
Chu Lingyun agreed that Chishima Keiko was the real big fish. Not to mention that she still had an observer who had not been exposed, the fact that she could identify intelligence agents alone showed that her identity was not ordinary.
It's a pity that I couldn't pry open her mouth, otherwise I would have been able to obtain more important information.
As for why Huang Baichuan confessed so easily, Chu Lingyun now understood the reason.
Huang Baichuan was, after all, a new agent, not Japanese, and not as hardened as Chishima Keiko. But a new problem arose: Huang Baichuan's limited knowledge meant he couldn't provide any valuable intelligence. If he wanted to obtain more important intelligence and clues, he had to target Chishima Keiko.
But Keiko Chishima is a tough person who can withstand electric shock, so it is not easy to make her speak.
"Keep an eye on Huang Baichuan, he's still useful."
Chu Lingyun gave some instructions to Niu Qiu and quickly left the hospital. When he returned to the dormitory of the Military Intelligence Department, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. This day was very fulfilling for him.
It turned out that his plan to focus on cosmetics counters was very correct.
It was this kind of surveillance that allowed him to find the important Japanese spy, Keiko Chishima.
Not only did they seize the radio and code book, but they also learned from Huang Baichuan the identity, position and code name of Chishima Keiko, which provided more favorable conditions for the next step of interrogating Chishima Keiko.
After Chu Lingyun returned, he did not rest immediately. Instead, he lay on the bed and went over the entire case in his mind again.
It has to be said that the Japanese intelligence organization is indeed more rigorous than theirs. They have observers who can know about it at the first time if something goes wrong during the intelligence contact.
They also have security officers who can screen and verify intelligence personnel at any time to determine whether there have been any problems.
Even if they are husband and wife, because of their different positions, they never have access to each other's information. This can ensure to the greatest extent that important information will not be leaked.
Just like this time, Chishima Keiko and Huang Baichuan were both arrested. Because of Chishima Keiko's stubborn attitude, they couldn't even get any decent intelligence.
But things are developing in a good direction after all. Chishima Keiko is in his hands, and sooner or later he will dig out everything that Chishima Keiko knows.
"Captain, good morning."
Early the next morning, Chu Lingyun appeared in the office, and everyone from Team 3 took the initiative to greet him.
Even those who had opinions about Chu Lingyun before now admire him very much.
Just by smelling the scent in the escaped Japanese spies' homes, they were able to accurately find the cosmetics used by the other party, and even actually caught the two escaped Japanese spies.
Many people have never heard of such an ability.
In this operation, their entire three teams will make meritorious contributions, and it was Chu Lingyun who gave them this opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
Regardless of their age, as long as Chu Lingyun can bring them benefits, they will be convinced and respectful of this superior.
"Captain, Loach just called and said that Huang Baichuan wants to live and is willing to help us persuade Chishima Keiko to surrender, as long as we spare their lives."
Shen Hanwen came to Chu Lingyun's desk to report on his work, and Chu Lingyun snorted coldly.
Huang Baichuan, as a Chinese, provided funding to the Japanese intelligence organization and directly provided various valuable intelligence. For this reason alone, he was guilty of a capital crime.
It's impossible to survive.
Not only will Huang Baichuan die, but the entire Huang family will be confiscated. This is not Huang Baichuan's fault alone. The entire Huang family has betrayed the nation and the country.
