Chapter 29 Helping to Show Off
It’s not easy for Huang Baichuan to survive.
If Huang Baichuan could really get Chishima Keiko to speak, there would be no problem in letting him live a little longer, but Chu Lingyun didn't have much hope for him.
Chishima Keiko can even withstand electric shock, so it is difficult to get her to speak just by Huang Baichuan's persuasion.
"Hanwen, accompany me to the hospital."
Chu Lingyun simply dealt with the work at hand, took Shen Hanwen and went straight to the hospital.
Although the hope is slim, it doesn't matter if you try. Chu Lingyun is willing to give Huang Baichuan this chance.
"Captain, you're here."
Loach had been guarding the hospital with his men and had not returned all night. When he saw Chu Lingyun, he immediately came over to greet him.
"How much did he confess yesterday?"
Chu Lingyun asked Xiang Niuqiu when he left last night to continue interrogating Huang Baichuan and ask him to tell him everything he had done before, including how much intelligence he had provided to the Japanese intelligence organization and what each piece of intelligence was.
It is also necessary to investigate what information has been leaked to see if any confidential information has been known to the Japanese.
"I've confessed everything. This guy is a scoundrel. He's leaked a lot of information to enemy spies over the years, including the number and size of our warships, some geographical information, and some garrison information."
Loach spoke quickly, Huang Baichuan's family was in business and often transported goods everywhere, including river and sea transportation.
Although they could not obtain more detailed intelligence, just telling the Japanese what they saw was already extremely valuable strategic intelligence.
"This is a list of names Huang Baichuan gave me. They are all officials that the Huang family has corrupted with money over the years. Through them, they also provided the Japanese with a lot of valuable intelligence."
Loach took out some papers. He had interrogated Huang Baichuan until midnight yesterday and told him everything he knew.
"Go back to the team and gather the people. Follow the list and arrest everyone in Wuhan. For those who are not here, provide the information to headquarters so they can arrange for the arrest."
There were more than twenty names on the paper, but most of them were not high-ranking officials. The Huang family had limited power and had not corrupted the real high-ranking officials. Moreover, the Huang family had fallen into decline a few years ago, and many relationships could not be maintained.
"Yes, Captain, I promise to complete the mission."
Loach saluted, unable to hide his smile. The captain asked him to arrest someone, which was equivalent to asking him to search a house.
Confiscating property is a very lucrative job. It is not dangerous and has enough benefits, so everyone likes it.
The Huang family is not here, but it is not far from Hankou. Most of the Huang family members will be arrested. Although the Huang family is not as powerful as before, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse, and a lot of good things can still be seized.
"Captain Chu, you are here."
Huang Baichuan was still lying on the bed. When he saw Chu Lingyun coming in, he tried to get up with difficulty.
"No need to get up. How confident are you in persuading Chishima Keiko to surrender?" Chu Lingyun asked Huang Baichuan directly.
"I'm very confident. Chishima Keiko still has a mother back home in Japan. She was raised by her mother alone and has a very good relationship with her. Using her mother to threaten her will definitely work."
Huang Baichuan said hurriedly that he knew that what he had done was more than enough to be shot ten times, and now in order to survive, he would not care about the life and death of others.
My wife and mother-in-law sold the house without any hesitation, without any bottom line.
It is absolutely a luxury to talk about etiquette and integrity with such a person who can even betray the country.
"Okay, I can give you the opportunity, but whether you can seize it depends on you."
"Thank you, thank you Captain Chu."
Huang Baichuan was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly, but he didn't notice at all that Chu Lingyun only said that he gave him a chance, but did not promise that he would definitely let him live.
Huang Baichuan's toes were broken and his arm had undergone surgery, so he could not move. Chu Lingyun directly ordered someone to carry him to the Military Intelligence Department.
Chishima Keiko is too important to be moved casually, so Huang Baichuan can only be taken with him. As for whether he will suffer on the way, Chu Lingyun doesn't consider it at all.
…
Nanjing, Military Intelligence Headquarters.
"Director, this is the code book I seized. Please take a look."
Wang Yuemin set off last night, but waited for several hours at the airport and only arrived in Nanjing this morning. As soon as he arrived, he was urgently summoned.
"It's a real code book. Great, Wang Yuemin, you've done a great job this time."
Taking the code book respectfully handed over by Wang Yuemin with both hands, the director applauded as he read it. The decryption team of the headquarters' telecommunications department always used the excuse of not having samples to prevent this director, who had a strong desire for control, from getting angry.
Now that they have the code book, let’s see what excuse they can use.
If they dare to delay work again, this powerful Virgo will definitely punish them by military law.
"I dare not take credit for it. This time, we were able to seize the radio and code book of the Japanese spies because of my subordinate Chu Lingyun. He was the one who did not give up after discovering the suspicious points. After many twists and turns, we finally captured these two Japanese spies in one fell swoop."
Wang Yuemin mentioned Chu Lingyun at the right time. He was really good to Chu Lingyun and did not forget to praise him at this time.
Having obtained the code book he had always wanted, the director was very happy. He put the code book aside and asked Wang Yuemin with a smile, "Tell me, how did you catch the Japanese spy and get the radio and code book?"
"That's it..."
Wang Yuemin immediately started by saying that he had not given up on the commercial espionage case and asked Chu Lingyun to continue investigating, until he said that the anti-Japanese spy had a substitute, which made the cunning Japanese spy run away.
"Humph, the Japanese are indeed treacherous. Write this down and tell everyone that when catching Japanese spies in the future, we can't just focus on one spot, we have to pay attention to the surrounding neighbors as well."
The director instructed the secretary beside him that the Japanese used stand-ins, and there was a high possibility that there would be more than one.
Now that we know their tricks, we can serve as a warning to others so they don't make the same mistakes.
"Your subordinate Chu Lingyun did a good job. The Japanese spy escaped. It's not his fault. The Japanese spy was too cunning."
The Director spoke to Wang Yuemin again. Wang Yuemin bowed slightly and said carefully, "You're absolutely right, Director. I didn't punish him. Chu Lingyun has a unique ability: he can remember subtle smells. In the Japanese spy's home, he searched for the scent of the Japanese spy's cosmetics and successfully found the cosmetics she used. He then personally led people to monitor the cosmetics counter and eventually discovered the Japanese spy who was disguised and went to buy cosmetics, thus arresting them in one fell swoop."
"He can remember the smell of cosmetics and even find out what kind of cosmetics they are?" Virgo was obviously interested.
"Yes, Virgo. I didn't know about his ability before. It's unheard of, but the effect is surprisingly good."
Wang Yuemin nodded repeatedly. Chu Lingyun was his capable subordinate. While the director was in a good mood, he should praise Chu Lingyun more, which would be of great help to his future development.
Chu Lingyun was able to get promoted because of himself, and he will only be more grateful to himself in the future.
"This shows that you have the ability to judge people. Good job! It's not easy to recapture a Japanese spy who escaped. You and Chu Lingyun have both made contributions. This time, the headquarters will reward you."
The director nodded again, smiling broadly. Just as he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and casually asked, "Where is this Chu Lingyun from?"
