Chapter 280 The First Fire
The training school has been sealed off, and there is no one in it.

Nixie and the others followed behind Chu Lingyun, from the utility room on the first floor to the small and narrow space behind, and then came to the place where garbage trucks often parked.

A smile appeared on Chu Lingyun's face, and he finally understood how Sima Lin passed on the information.

Here, there is even a trap.

The trap door camouflaged by bricks is so ingeniously done that you can't see it here.Not only that, but there is a lock on the trap door, and if you open this door, you can go directly to the back of the training school.

The door is not big, but enough for a person to bend over and go out.

Every time he got information, Sima Lin would order the kitchen to make some steamed buns, rice dumplings and other food, and distribute them to the surrounding people.

He translated the information into code, rolled it up and wrapped it up, and when the old man parked the garbage truck to get the food, he could come here, stuff the information into his garbage truck, and change the color of the signal.

In this way, without anyone noticing, he completed the information transmission without going out.

This garbage truck has never entered his training school, and it doesn't stop here every day, even if the operator follows the garbage truck, he can't find him.

Even his own operator couldn't find him, and it was even harder for others.

If it wasn't for Risa Nakamura's explanation this time, it would not be so easy to find out about Sima Lin.

But a mouse is a mouse, and no matter how cunning a mouse is, when it meets a formidable hunter, it will have nothing to hide in the end.

Sima Lin found a way to deliver the information, and Ni Qian was very surprised and admired.

In order to deliver the information, Sima Lin really took great pains, he could even think of live mailboxes.

He must know this old garbage collector very well, otherwise he would not dare to do this. After all, the information is not in his hands, and accidents may occur at any time on the way to pass it on.

"Go to the hospital and bring Sima Lin back. Let him live a good life for the past few days, and it will be easier for him."

Chu Lingyun told Nixiu to find out how Sima Lin passed on the information. With He Yuanhua and Miyamoto's confessions, it doesn't make much sense whether Sima Lin recruits or not.

Moreover, Chu Lingyun believed that Sima Lin would definitely confess.

He didn't intend to die, but Zhu Qing had told him that before Sima Lin was caught, he was swallowing a gun and preparing to commit suicide. At that time, Zhu Qing was startled, thinking that he would not be caught alive.

Unexpectedly, Sima Lin didn't pull the trigger in the end and was captured alive by him.

Military Intelligence, torture room.

Sima Lin was locked in a chair. His body had not fully recovered, so he was not fit to be hanged for torture.

"Am I calling you Sima Lin or Kitano Dalang?"

Chu Lingyun looked at Sima Lin on the opposite side, but Sima Lin's eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't expect the other party to know his real name.

His mind was spinning rapidly. Which link went wrong?
He Yuanhua, Deputy Director Tang, and his reporting team did not know his real name. The fault was not in Nanjing, but in Shanghai, or even in the Headquarters of the Special High School.

There is only one person in Shanghai who knows his identity, and that is Bei Chuanming, the head of the Special Higher Course.

He is not Bei Chuan Ming's person, is Bei Chuan Ming betraying him?

Or someone from a higher level?
No matter who it was, Sima Lin only felt his hands and feet were cold, and his heart was extremely terrified.

"Your dispatch team supervisor, Miyamoto Suke, has already confessed. I have to say that your live mailbox for delivering information is very ingenious. It can not only send the information well, but also protect you to the greatest extent."

Chu Lingyun said slowly, Sima Lin didn't speak, he was not surprised that the telegram team was arrested, the other party even knew his real name, how could he not know the existence of the telegram team.

"We know all the information you have collected, as well as the method of collecting information. I can't think of what value you have now. In two days, there will be a group of your former accomplices who need to be shot. Why don't you also be put in? Come and save us some food, and second, let you have a companion on the road to Huangquan"

Chu Lingyun was smiling, but in Sima Lin's eyes, he was like a devil.

There was something curious about Sima Lin, but Chu Lingyun didn't ask directly. He is a smart person, and he has to use some tricks to deal with smart people.

Sima Lin didn't commit suicide, which means he didn't want to die, so he threatened him directly with death.

"You won't kill me." Sima Lin spoke with a very certain tone.

"Why do you say that?" Chu Lingyun asked with interest.

"If you really want to execute me, you won't say this to me specifically, just order it directly. Since I'm being interrogated, you won't kill him lightly."

Sima Lin was very indifferent. It had to be said that he was indeed very smart, and this kind of smart person was the worst to deal with.

"Can I have a cigarette?"

Sima Lin said suddenly, and Chu Lingyun was taken aback. During their previous investigation, they had never seen Sima Lin smoking.

"give him."

Chu Lingyun agreed to Sima Lin's request, and the team member next to him took out a cigarette and handed it to Sima Lin. Sima Lin was handcuffed and could only accept it with both hands.

Seeing that the team members took out matches and were about to help him light the fire, Sima Lin shook his head again and said, "No need to light it, I can just smell it."

After speaking, he put the cigarette under his nostril and kept sniffing his nose.

"You know that I don't want to die, so let's make a condition, how can I not let me die."

After a while, Sima Lin took the initiative to say that if he didn't commit suicide the first time, he didn't have the intention to be loyal to the emperor.

After waking up from the hospital, he has been thinking about how to save his life.

He thought of many excuses and methods, but he didn't expect that Chu Lingyun would give him a heavy blow when he came up. The other party knew too much about him.

This made his preparations in advance useless, and he had no choice but to change from passive to active, fighting for his own chance of survival.

"If you want to live, you have to show the value of being able to live. To be honest, I can't think of a reason for you to live now."

Chu Lingyun also shook his head, and continued: "I admit that you are very capable, especially talented in language, but your abilities have no effect on us. On the contrary, you are a big threat, and the best treatment for you is The solution is to destroy it as soon as possible.”

What Chu Lingyun expressed is very simple, I recognize your ability, you are indeed a talent.

But you are an enemy, the stronger your ability, the greater the threat to us, just in case, we should get rid of you as soon as possible.

"I know some secrets, and I can use these secrets in exchange for a chance to live."

After a while of silence, Sima Lin spoke slowly.

In the confrontation between the two, Chu Lingyun always had the upper hand. Sima Lin knew that the other party would not kill him easily, but he had no way to gamble, and it was impossible to gamble.

The bet is his life, there is no gain in winning, but nothing in losing, and his life will not be guaranteed.

Now he is the fish on the chopping board and has no bargaining capital.

"Say it out and see if it's enough to buy your life." Chu Lingyun returned to the interrogation table and sat there and asked.

"The Japan Special High School has an elite plan, which is to send capable people to instigate your military and political leaders and provide us with intelligence. The agents in the elite plan are all outstanding, and all of them have outstanding abilities."

"The program started three years ago, and because of my performance, I was accepted into the elite program."

After Sima Lin finished speaking, he raised his head, but Chu Lingyun's expression didn't change at all.

"Finished?"

Seeing that Sima Lin didn't go any further, Chu Lingyun asked back. He didn't know about the elite plan, but he knew very well that the Japanese did put a lot of effort into intelligence work and instigated many high-level officials.

After the war, the Consequence Party leaked a large amount of confidential information, which is probably the result of their elite plan.

"I know what you want to ask, but I really don't know how many people are in the elite plan. This matter was planned by Chief Section Chief Tuyuan himself, and very few people know about it."

"A name without any substance, what kind of secret do you think this is? Can it buy your life?"

This secret sounds very important, but there is nothing other than a name, and even the name Chu Lingyun doesn't know if it is true or not.

Such a secret doesn't make any sense.

After a while of silence, Sima Lin continued: "I suspect that there is someone in Shanghai who is a member of the elite project like me."

"Who?"

Chu Lingyun sat up straight, Sima Lin finally had to explain something really useful.

"Antoine from the Board of Directors of the Shanghai French Concession." Sima Lin said his name.

"French?"

Chu Lingyun frowned, and Sima Lin nodded immediately: "His father is French, but his mother is Japanese. He grew up with his mother in Japan since he was a child, and was taken back to France by his father when he was 12 years old."

"Why do you say he's part of the elite program?"

Chu Lingyun continued to ask, he didn't know who Antoine was, but he was French in the board of directors of the French Concession, so even if he really knew that he was a Japanese agent, it would be difficult to attack him.

Now is not the time when France is occupied by Germany. At this time, France claims to have the world's largest army and is very arrogant.

Even if there is enough evidence to prove that Antoine is a Japanese agent, it is impossible for the French to hand him over to them.

An Tuoan works in the French Concession Board of Directors, this status can give him very good protection.

"I knew Antoine when I was young. We are good playmates. I can learn French and I have a certain relationship with him. After he left, I never saw him again, but I trained in China eight years ago. I met him by chance when I was there."

"Later, when the elite plan was implemented, I took the opportunity of a business trip to Shanghai to meet the head of the section, and I saw him again, but at that time his identity was already a staff member of the French Concession Public Directorate. He was doing it for business reasons. I went to the Japanese Concession, but I believe that he must be an intelligence officer of the empire, so I went to meet the chief section chief with an excuse, and then I suspected that he was also a member of the elite plan like me."

After Sima Lin finished speaking, he looked at Chu Lingyun again.

"Your information is of some value, is there any more?" Chu Lingyun continued to ask.

"Nothing."

Sima Lin shook his head, he was a hidden person, if he hadn't known An Tuo Wan when he was young, he would not have known An Tuo Wan's double identity.

"It seems that you are not honest. Let me ask you, why didn't the advertisement of Jinling University recruit German translators and also require English, French and Italian languages?"

Chu Lingyun glared at Sima Lin, and finally asked the doubt in his heart.

Sima Lin's eyes widened. Chu Lingyun also knew about this?

This was the evacuation signal that he had agreed with Bei Chuanming. When he received this signal, it meant that Bei Chuanming had sent someone over to take over his work. When the time came, he only had to transfer the training school to this person.

And he will leave Nanjing and go to Shanghai.

This signal represents the successful completion of his work in Nanjing. Although he has left, Sunflower still exists, because the telegram team does not know who Sunflower is, so the evacuation signal will not be conveyed to him through the telegram team.

Otherwise, the telegram team will understand that their upline has changed.

The other party knew this secret, could it be that Bei Chuanming really betrayed him?

This was the signal he and Bei Chuanming had agreed upon, and only the two of them knew about it.

"Since you already know, why do you still ask me?"

"I'll let you answer it yourself." Chu Lingyun glared at him.

"That's my signal to evacuate..."

Sima Lin said helplessly, but his mind kept spinning, Bei Chuanming, it must be Bei Chuanming, he betrayed the empire and himself.

In the entire Shanghai Super High School, only he knows his real name.

And the signal of this agreement is the idea he came up with, and only the two of them know it.

He runs a foreign language training school, and he is very concerned about the foreign language photo advertisements posted on the school. The two employees who are handing out leaflets are actually his arrangements.

They were not spies, but were used by Sima Lin.

Sima Lin asked them to check the advertisement wall every day, rain or shine, in order to know who needed foreign language talents as soon as possible, and then recommend their students to work.

Over the past few years, Sima Lin had indeed recommended many students.

The two employees thought that the boss was working so hard for the best of the students. Every time they saw an advertisement for foreign language recruitment, they would write it down in detail. They didn't expect that Sima Lin asked them to help observe the signal.

Chu Lingyun finally understood the function of the second advertisement.

This is an evacuation signal, but not an emergency evacuation.

Moreover, Sima Lin needed to hand over. After the signal was sent out, three days later he would post an advertisement for the transfer of the training school on the advertising wall of Jinling University.

The intelligence agent who came over to hand over to him, after matching the code with him, he will hand over all the work in hand and return to Shanghai by himself.

It was not urgent, so it was posted for three days to ensure that Sima Lin could see it.

What Sima Lin had in hand was the intelligence of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. His identity was very important. Before leaving, he had to hand over all the intelligence channels and let He Yuanhua and the others know that the intelligence agents had been replaced.

Without his handover, even if a new intelligence officer took over the training school, He Yuanhua would not be able to easily give him the information.

After confirming that Sima Lin hadn't concealed anything, Chu Lingyun had someone detain him first.

Sima Lin who entered the cell was still thinking about Bei Chuanming.

Is it the result of the interrogation that the Chinese captured Bei Chuanming, or Bei Chuanming betrayed the empire and secretly served the Chinese?

Bei Chuanming is the head of the Shanghai Higher Education Course. He has a high position and authority and holds a lot of secrets.

Sima Lin was not tortured, only the injuries he suffered before, although he did not recover, it did not affect his train of thought.

During the recent period, their intelligence network in Nanjing suffered heavy losses. Sima Lin knew this very well. Bei Chuanming had sent him a message telling him to be more careful in his work recently.

He doesn't know who the accident happened, but it must be the imperial elite who has been lurking in Nanjing for a long time.

It is understandable that one or two people have accidents, but so many people have accidents one after another. If there are no traitors in the super high school, no matter how smart the Chinese are, it is impossible to do it.

This traitor has a high status and holds enough secrets.

And his own arrest confirmed this even more.

In the Shanghai Special High School, only Bei Chuanming knew his real name, and the evacuation plan was made by Bei Chuanming himself.

It was he who gave all the information to the Chinese, which led to the arrest of himself and many imperial elites.

Who would have thought that the head of the Shanghai Super High School, the most important branch of the domestic Super High School, and the top person in charge would actually betray.

"Bei Chuan Ming."

Sima Lin gritted his teeth with hatred, at this moment he confirmed his guess.

Smart people are very confident, and Sima Lin is no exception. From the moment Chu Lingyun called out his name, he knew that the upper echelon had betrayed him.

In addition to the matter of the advertisement, he even identified it as Bei Chuanming.

This hateful scum actually betrayed so many interests of the empire, causing so many innocent warriors of the empire to die, he deserves to die.

It's a pity that he knew too late to expose the true face of this demon.

No, he can't die, he has to find a way to pass the news back, let the chief section chief know, and avoid more losses.

Bei Chuanming is the head of the Shanghai Special High School. As long as he remains the head of the class, the empire's intelligence work in the entire southeast of China will be led by the nose by the Chinese in the future, and there will be no progress.

He is very suspicious now that Bei Chuanming did not report the information he had passed on to the special high school.

If it is not reported, his hard work for so long will be in vain.

No wonder Bei Chuanming never agreed to allow him to return to Shanghai. His military rank was promoted so slowly. He was afraid that after he returned to Shanghai, his service to the Chinese would be exposed.

Sima Lin found another reason for himself to live, a very legitimate reason.

……

In Shanghai, in a restaurant, Chen Shu is hosting a banquet for the New Year.

After confirming that Deputy Chief Tang fled to Shanghai, He Nian chased after him.

The three days given to him by the seat before him were automatically extended to ten days. Within ten days, he would execute Deputy Chief Tang, and he could not let this traitor live.

"Brother He, don't be frowning, come and have a drink."

Chen Shu smiled and said, He Nian was picked up by him as soon as he got off the train, and he put on a table with good food and wine.

He Nian doesn't have the mind to drink, his mind is full of sanction missions.

"Brother Chen, you don't have to laugh at me. Xu Yi and I made a big mistake this time. If Deputy Chief Tang can't be punished, the chief will not spare me."

He Nian smiled wryly, the wine glass exuded a strong aroma of wine, but he didn't have any desire to drink it down.

"What's the rush? He is a high-ranking man in Nanjing, but he's just a street rat in Shanghai. I believe that with Brother He's ability, it's easy to punish him."

Chen Shu laughed, and took He Nian for a drink.

He Nian has a good relationship with him. Although he was the first to arrest people in Tianjin last time, Tianjin Station made a lot of contributions without any effort. Chen Shu remembered this favor.

This time the action is mainly to celebrate the New Year, but they have assistance tasks in Shanghai Station, if they fail to complete, they will also be punished accordingly.

After Chen Shu received the top-secret telegram from Chu Zuo, he began to investigate the whereabouts of Deputy Chief Tang. Deputy Chief Tang did not hide after he came to Shanghai. He visited some important people frequently in the past few days, and even got together with the Japanese.

It was not difficult to find out where he lived.

Knowing where he lives, Chen Shu is very confident in sanctioning him, not as preoccupied as He Nian.

"I hope so." After drinking, He Nian sighed.

"Brother He, you have made so many meritorious deeds during this period that even I am envious. Even if something goes wrong, Virgo will not really punish you."

Chen Shu poured the wine again, he was very clear about the recent results of the Operations Department.

Captured a lot of spies in a row and knocked out one complete intelligence team after another in Japan. This is definitely a great achievement.

With so much credit, what is a mistake?
"Stop talking about that, drink."

He Nian smiled wryly and shook his head, these outgoing webmasters didn't understand Virgo's temperament.

No matter how much credit you have made, a major mistake may be wiped out.

This time Deputy Chief Tang ran away, which was definitely a big mistake. Xu Yi was punished by the chief. Xu Yi's rank of colonel was demoted to lieutenant colonel, and he was temporarily acting as the chief of the intelligence department.

It was the first time that he was demoted in military rank in the Military Intelligence Department.

It can be seen how angry Virgo is this time. If he hadn't had so much credit in hand, he might be demoted to lieutenant colonel like Xu Yi this time.

The two chiefs are both lieutenant colonels, so how will they meet people when they go out in the future?

After the dinner, Chen Shu personally sent He Nian to rest, and when he came out, Feng Qun, the intelligence team leader, immediately joined him.

"The Japanese went to Bai Yuan again, this time Bai Yuan didn't refuse, and drank with him."

"A dog is a dog. Tomorrow, I will inform these team leaders and let them come to the station for a meeting."

Chen Shu snorted coldly, Bai Yuan was about to fall completely, but Bai Yuan was a pawn he carefully arranged, he didn't participate in the whole process, he just watched from the sidelines.

The Japanese have a higher degree of trust in those who instigated rebellion by themselves.

Next, let Bai Yuan pass on some unimportant information first. For greater gains, it doesn't matter if you let him pass on important information, as long as it doesn't affect the overall situation.

At the critical moment, this chess piece can help him deal a heavy blow to the Japanese and fire his first shot in Shanghai.

There are three fires for a new official to take office, but Chen Shu didn't want to regard the previous personnel appointment as his first fire.

Since it is a fire, it must burn vigorously.

Cracking down on spies and arresting more spies is the first fire he really wants to burn.

He wanted to show the boss that no matter where he was, Chen Shu was a very capable person, and he deserved his name as the Shanghai station master.

Early the next morning, He Nian took people away in a hurry.

Chen Shu found out the residence of Deputy Chief Tang. He wanted to take people there to check on the location, observe the travel situation of Deputy Chief Tang, and create the most suitable time for the assassination.

Deputy Chief Tang is in the French Concession in Shanghai, and there are many Japanese and bodyguards around him. It is almost impossible to capture him alive here. He Nian is not an arrogant person, as long as he can successfully assassinate him.

Killing him can greatly deter those traitors who want to surrender to Japan.

Don't think it's okay to run away, even if you run to the ends of the earth, it's useless, they will get rid of you.
