spy shadow

Chapter 285
For three consecutive days, so many people searched for a person together, not to mention digging three feet, almost all the places in Shanghai where there were people were searched.

But Hosokawa Tomotaka seemed to have evaporated, so many people couldn't find him.

On the contrary, all kinds of gossip are flying all over the sky.

Some people said that they saw a young man in a white suit go to the train station, and others said that they saw Tomotaka Hosokawa at the pier and went to Germany by boat.

Some people even said that the gang fought and killed a person who looked a lot like Tomotaka Hosokawa.

In addition to these, some of Chu Lingyun's previous whereabouts were also found out.

The clothing store where he bought the white suit was found, and the driver of the rickshaw he was riding in showed up. There are too many rumors, and the words are clear and clear. These few pieces of real information are not conspicuous among them.

Shixiong Nakano was busy verifying all the information reported to him, and the more he verified, the more angry he became.

A lot of news turned out to be lies or untruths in the end, which wasted a lot of his energy.

However, these news came from the Green Gang, the French, and the British. He had nowhere to post the news, so he had to send more people to keep checking.

Nakano Sixiong didn't dare to ignore any news that came from him. If any of these news were true, he might get the young master back.

Japanese Concession, Shanghai Super High School.

"Haven't found the whereabouts of Hosokawa Tomotaka?"

Bei Chuanming looked exhausted. Sitting in front of him was Nao Iijima, the leader of the intelligence team. The news of the failure of the last operation finally came to the higher-ups, and then came the sad news that Sima Lin had been arrested.

Deputy Chief Tang escaped, and the result of Sima Lin can be imagined.

Sima Lin belonged to the chief section chief of Tuyuan, and the chief section chief gave him a severe reprimand, asking him to explain his recent behavior immediately, otherwise he would be escorted back to China for review.

Detaining him back does not mean letting him go back on his own initiative, the meaning of this is quite different.

At this moment, news spread that the young master of the Hosokawa family had appeared, and that the steward of the Hosokawa family, Shio Nakano, was offering a reward for his search. Naruto Beichuan took this matter as a life-saving straw, and immediately ordered all his subordinates to join in the search.

They are an intelligence agency, and they have an advantage in finding someone.

"Section Head, no."

Iijima shook his head straight, he was very puzzled, Hosokawa Tomotaka is just an ordinary person, how could it be possible to hide so deeply that so many people couldn't find him?

Even though Tomotaka Hosokawa has a residence in Shanghai, he always eats, drinks, and goes shopping, but so many people don't have any clues about him. Could it be true that he has left Shanghai like rumors?
Iijima didn't dare to say these words, he understood Bei Chuanming's current predicament.

Hosokawa Tomotaka is Kitagawa Ming's only hope now. If the Hosokawa family helps to speak, the chief section chief and the Ministry of the Army and other departments will give face and will not deal with Kitakawa Ming severely, or even won't deal with it.

But if this hope also fails, Bei Chuanming's fate will probably be very bad.

He is Bei Chuan Ming's most trusted confidant, and Bei Chuan Ming's bad luck will not do him any good.

Maybe he will be unlucky with him. After all, many intelligence teams involved in the accident belong to him, and this responsibility cannot be escaped.

"Keep looking, make sure to find Hosokawa Tomotaka before anyone else."

Bei Chuanming ordered, he didn't say it clearly, but Iijima knew straight away that Bei Chuanming was desperate and put all his hopes on finding someone.

Bei Chuanming couldn't explain to the head of the section, saying that it was because of a person named Chu Lingyun, they had suffered heavy losses recently, the intelligence agency in Nanjing was beaten to pieces, and even the operation team in Shanghai also lost a lot Dozens of people.

Even if it is explained, the higher-ups will only think that he is incompetent and defeated by a young man.

"Hay."

Iijima took the order and retreated. Bei Chuanming was upset and not in the mood to deal with any official duties.

Nanjing, the prison of the Military Intelligence Department.

Sima Lin was huddled on the edge of the cell, chatting softly with Huo Xiao next to him.

He is very eloquent, and these days he deliberately pretended to care about Huo Xiao, and said a lot of words of comfort to him, making Huo Xiao regard Sima Lin as his confidant, and accused the darkness of the Military Intelligence Department.

He was wronged, but he was caught because he slept with a Japanese female spy, and he suffered so much.

Sima Lin successfully gained Huo Xiao's trust, and used a lie to get Huo Xiao to agree to spread the word for him.

Sima Lin told Huo Xiao that although he is a Japanese agent and it is difficult to save himself, it is no problem to rescue someone like Huo Xiao who is purely implicated.

Huo Xiao is a friend of the Great Japanese Empire, the Empire is very grateful to him, and should not let him suffer here.

When the news spreads, the Japanese side will do their best to rescue him.

The help of the Japanese is definitely better than those ordinary officials that Huo Xiao knows, especially once the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs intervenes, China will not turn against Japan because of his little Huo Xiao, and will inevitably release him.

The Military Intelligence Service is absolutely unable to withstand such pressure.

Huo Xiaoxin thought it was true, and took advantage of the relationship between his family members to spread the code.

In the office, Loach looked at the things in front of him, full of doubts.

Sima Lin didn't know that the reason why Huo Xiao was able to communicate with the outside world was purely tricked by the loach. If he was not allowed to communicate with his family, how would his family send money?

Every word that Huo Xiao said to the outside world was clearly understood by Ni Qiang.

This time Huo Xiao asked his family to send another [-] gold bars, and the information that Sima Lin asked him to pass on fell into the hands of Nixie.

Loach didn't pay attention to the content of giving gold bars, what he saw was the extra content.

The content is very simple, there is only one phone number and one sentence.

"I'm a friend of Sima Lin. Friends from the North Country, please help me."

It was a common request for help, but how did Huo Xiao collude with Sima Lin and ask Sima Lin's people to help him?
"Go and find out who this phone number belongs to?"

NiQiu called his subordinates and asked them to investigate the phone number, and then carefully looked at the content. The content was dictated by Huo Xiao, and there was no text.

Without the consent of Loach, the news has not spread yet.

If they just wanted gold bars, Niachon would not stop him, but what Huo Xiao said was related to Sima Lin, he had to take it seriously.

This news seems simple, but Loach is not easy to fool, he always feels weird in this sentence.

"It would be great if the team leader was here, he must be able to see the problems inside."

After reading it for half an hour, Niachan sighed. He had to admit that no matter how much he researched this sentence, he couldn't find the problem.

Can't figure it out, NiQiu simply didn't want to, and after his subordinates reported the source of the phone number, he immediately came to the radio station: "Send a report to the team leader, the content is..."

Since Huo Xiao mentioned Sima Lin, it is necessary to report this matter to see what the team leader has to say.

In Shanghai, a team member quickly came to Chu Lingyun's room and handed him the telegram sent by Nixiu.

They came out with a radio station. The radio station was in their hotel, and there were team members who turned it on to watch over it. Messages from the headquarters could be received at any time.

"Si Malin is playing tricks."

After only glancing at the contents of the telegram, Chu Lingyun judged that Sima Lin was sending a message to the outside world, not really trying to help Huo Xiao.

Sima Lin is Japanese, so he would not have such kindness, but he is an agent, and after being caught, it is impossible for the Japanese to rescue him. What is his purpose for sending such news?
This seemingly simple distress signal must be hiding a secret they don't know.

code word?

Chu Lingyun carefully analyzed the contents of the telegram, "I am a friend of Sima Lin", the name appeared in it, and the other party could understand that this was the message from Sima Lin.

Friends from the Northland, please help me?
This sentence should be Sima Lin's real purpose, the message he wants to convey must be hidden in the nine words.

Soon, Chu Lingyun looked at the two words, Beiguo.

The call was to the Puppet Manchukuo, and it was not easy to call there at this time, but Huo Xiao's family was rich, so as long as he found a way, he could still make the call.

And everyone's name for the Puppet Manchukuo is generally the North, or the Northeast, and the three provinces in the East. Not many people directly call the North Country.

The concept of "Northern Kingdom" has become bigger. The north of the Yellow River or even the north of the Yangtze River can be called the "Northern Kingdom".

From Sima Lin's point of view, it can be said that the Northeast is the past. Japan established the Puppet Manchukuo regime in the Northeast, which can be called the North Kingdom.

But who is Sima Lin, a smart man who has mastered multiple languages ​​and has a photographic memory, every word in his words may contain other meanings.

Codewords are the hardest to guess, just like passwords, only those who understand them can know the meaning. Without an agreement, seeing other people's codewords, it is extremely difficult to guess the true meaning.

"Huo Xiao, an idiot, was sold and counted the money for others."

Chu Lingyun shook his head. This news seemed to help Huo Xiao, but if it really spread, it would definitely not help Huo Xiao in any way.

It doesn't matter if you can't guess the code word, Sima Lin is still in their hands, just ask directly.

Chu Lingyun quickly called back, and Niu slapped himself on the head when he saw the simple message.

"Interrogate the two."

Chu Lingyun's reply was only four words, yes, both of them are in their hands, if you don't understand the real meaning, then ask them.

Niach immediately went to the interrogation department and interrogated Huo Xiao first.

When he came to the torture room, Huo Xiao was terrified. He didn't understand why he was brought here. Even if he was to be taught a lesson before, he was whipped in the cell. He had never been brought to such a terrible place.

"Call me."

Niach didn't talk nonsense. A person like Huo Xiao would be honest if he didn't beat him up.

"Grandpa Zhao, don't hit me. What do you want, say, I'll give it to you, can't I give it to you?"

Huo Xiao wailed with a sad face, but the people next to him ignored him, hung him up, and whipped him down.

Then a brazier was put on, and Huo Xiao kept begging for mercy, thinking of all the words he could think of.

"Why did you help Sima Lin deliver the information?"

After tidying up, Niach asked, Huo Xiao drooped his head, panting continuously, his forehead was covered with sweat, his body was covered with blood, and he kept trembling.

"I didn't pass information on for Sima Lin."

Huo Xiao was powerless to explain, he finally understood why he was beaten up this time, but he didn't expect it to be because of Sima Lin next door.

He kept cursing Sima Lin in his heart, this time he was hurt badly, he thought Sima Lin really sympathized with him and wanted to help him, but he didn't expect to be punished for helping him.

"Not honest, keep fighting."

Niach scolded, Huo Xiao had already been beaten so much shit and urine, and when he heard that he was going to be beaten again, he almost died of fright.

"Grandpa Zhao, stop beating, I really can't stand it, what do you want, tell me clearly, I just ask you to spare my life."

Huo Xiao continued to wail, which soon turned into a scream.

After pumping for a while, NiQiu asked again, and Huo Xiao vaguely explained what Sima Lin had said to him.

Sima Lin said that he would never survive, but he, Huo Xiao, was not Japanese, nor was he a spy, so the Military Intelligence Department shouldn't treat him like this.

The people here just fell in love with his money, and after he spent all the money, he would inevitably die.

These words entered Huo Xiao's heart, and Huo Xiao immediately trusted him.

Consoling him for several days, Sima Lin finally told him that he could help him. The Japanese had great energy and couldn't save themselves, but it was easy to save him, an irrelevant person.

After all, it was because of the Japanese that Huo Xiao fell to this point, and they had an obligation to help him.

Just like that, Huo Xiao passed on the phone number Sima Lin had given him, and what he wanted to say. Unexpectedly, he almost beat him to death because of this.

"Tismarin."

After asking clearly, Ni Qian asked people to take Huo Xiao down, and Sima Lin was brought over.

When Huo Xiao was taken away, Sima Lin sensed that something was wrong. He was careless this time, and Huo Xiao shouldn't have sent the letter directly.

Fortunately, what he wanted to convey was very secretive, and it was impossible for the people in the Military Intelligence Department to see the problem.

It's just a pity that this information failed to get out.

"You are dishonest. I know you can survive, so I won't waste time on you. Go to the electric chair."

Niach said coldly to Sima Lin, Sima Lin's heart skipped a beat, he could still bear the pain of the body, but the pain of the electric chair that directly hits the soul is simply unbearable for human beings.

Loach has won the true biography of Chu Lingyun, so he uses the electric chair when he comes up.

He didn't dare to turn on the maximum current, Sima Lin couldn't die, especially now, just use the minimum current to torture him slowly.

After a burst of screams, it didn't take long for Sima Lin to call.

He really couldn't bear the pain of the electric chair.

"I actually suspect that Bei Chuanming is a traitor."

Niach was stunned when he got the answer. The call was made to Keiji Dohara, and the meaning in the words was to tell him that Bei Chuanming had betrayed him.

The code words are in the two characters of Beiguo that Chu Lingyun noticed.

"Bei" refers to Bei Chuanming, and "Guo" is a homonym for "betrayal" in Japanese. After receiving this message for help, the chief section chief will understand what Sima Lin meant.

Back then the Chief Section Chief had interviewed him. Sima Lin said that his surname was Beiye, and it was easy to report him for betrayal. A code from Beiguo could point him out.

The news this time did not identify Sima Lin, but it was spread by Sima Lin. Keiji Tuhara would think of other people with the character Bei in their names.

The Shanghai Special High School suffered repeated setbacks, so many people were arrested, Sima Lin believed that the head of the class would definitely think of Bei Chuanming.

Niach didn't expect such a result, but these Japanese people are really cunning. It seems that a very simple distress signal hides such a big secret.

Chu Lingyun soon received the report from Niach and understood the truth.

Sima Lin was really smart, and he used such coded words to spread the word, but he suspected that Bei Chuanming was a traitor, which was a bit beyond Chu Lingyun's expectations.

Is Bei Chuanming a traitor?Certainly not.

This matter can be used, no matter what the result is, it can always alienate the Japanese.

Chu Lingyun carefully analyzed Sima Lin's confession, and finally called Nixiu back. The news spread normally and asked Huo Xiao's family to make the call.

After Sima Lin was arrested, all the people related to him were arrested, and Deputy Chief Tang was exposed because of him.

He didn't have any important information to pass back, because it was dictated, the possibility of these words being used as a password was not high.

His information may really be to report Bei Chuanming.

From Sima Lin's point of view, he hid himself so deeply that even the secret code for retreat was known by the Military Intelligence Department. He suspected that Bei Chuanming's body was normal.

And the important information he obtained from He Yuanhua had already been confessed.

In his hands, there is no other information to pass on.

Even if there was, he would know no more than Deputy Chief Tang, who fled to the Japanese, and it was meaningless to block him.

If Sima Lin's confession was true, they might be able to abolish Bei Chuanming's opponent without any action from them.

The order to assassinate himself was sent by Bei Chuanming.

Chu Lingyun will never be soft on enemies who want to kill him.

"Pass it out?"

After getting the reply from Chu Lingyun, Niqiu immediately understood his purpose. The team leader is really insidious, he is letting the Japanese dog bite the dog.

He cheerfully explained that all the news that Huo Xiao wanted to pass on would be passed on to his family members for him.

In the Party Affairs Investigation Department, Bao Shengqun stood in front of the office window, watching the vehicles coming in from outside.

Zhao Zaili, chief of the operations department, and Lin Peilun, chief of the intelligence department, got out of the car. What alarmed the two chiefs?
After a while, another heavily tied man was escorted from the car behind, and was forcibly taken to the torture room.

Has the Red Party been arrested?

Bao Shengqun narrowed his eyes. During this period of time, the Party Affairs Investigation Department was very low-key, but he still heard some rumors.

It is said that the telecommunications department found an important clue and found a radio station of the Red Party. Unfortunately, when it was about to find someone, the Red Party ran away.

Later, Deng Lifu and Lin Peilun jointly guaranteed to Xu Laogui, and in the end Xu Laogui did not punish the entire telecommunications department.

Otherwise, another group of people will die in the telecommunications department this time.

These days, the work of various departments is progressing very slowly. One is that the work enthusiasm is low, and the other is that there are no important clues. I didn't expect that they would gain something by sneaking around.

Seeing that the detainee was Fu Tian, ​​the deputy team leader of the Operations Section, Bao Shengqun gently turned the water glass in his hand.

Fu Tian was his man, but after he left the Operations Department, he broke off contact with Fu Tian. It wasn't that Fu Tian wanted to distance himself from him, but that after he left the Operations Department, he asked all his former confidants not to be with him anymore. connect.

If he collapses and they still surround him, it will easily affect his future future, and Zhao Zaili will not feel comfortable in his heart.

Under his suggestion, these people turned to Zhao Zaili.

Although they couldn't become Zhao Zaili's confidantes, at least they stood in line, and Zhao Zaili would not deal with them for a while.

In the torture room, the man was hung up.

The one who was arrested was Lao Deng, who was previously arrested as a traitor of the Red Party, Shi Haiyang. After the incident in the telecommunications department was over, Lin Peilun was under a lot of pressure and wanted to find clues from the previous case.

Lin Peilun has certain abilities. Now that Shi Haiyang is dead, it is very likely that Lao Deng will stay in Nanjing.

He carefully investigated Lao Deng's past, looked for patterns, and found that Lao Deng would occasionally go out of the city, so he hired a dozen neighbors who had seen Lao Deng with high salaries, arranged them at various city gates, and used stupid methods to wait for rabbits.

For the sake of confidentiality, Lin Peilun asked all those who took part in the operation to watch these neighbors in pairs, and to go to the bathroom together, and no one should leave alone.

If anyone is found helping to conceal or lie, he will be shot to death.

His stupid method paid off. When Lao Deng came back from outside the city, he was seen by people who knew him.

This time out of town, Lao Deng sent three radio teachers out of town.

It is too dangerous to continue to teach people to use the radio in the city. Their radio has been targeted, and if they use it for a long time, they may be targeted again by the Party Affairs Investigation Office.

After Secretary Liang reported to his hometown, his hometown came to order this radio station to go to Shanghai. It happened that there was not enough one radio station in Shanghai and an additional one was needed.

The radio station is too expensive, they dare not take trains and ships, and the three of them take the radio station to Shanghai in the most stupid way.

In this way, we can pass through several base areas on the road, learn about the situation in the base areas, and then report to our hometown.

Old Deng was familiar with the situation outside the city, and he escorted these comrades away. When they went out, everything went well, but they didn't expect to be watched when they came back.

This time Lin Peilun didn't dare to put a long line to catch big fish. After discovering Lao Deng, he immediately asked the Operations Division to arrest him and successfully brought him back.

"Although it's a bit late, we finally met."

Sitting at the interrogation table, Lin Peilun looked at Lao Deng with a smile. It was because of Lao Deng that he lost a whole group.

Until now, the newly established second intelligence group is still running in and has not formed combat effectiveness.

Lao Deng didn't say a word. After he was arrested, he realized that he was finished.

It's a pity that he didn't have the chance to commit suicide. Fortunately, he needs to report to the upline Lao Hu when he comes back this time. If Lao Hu can't wait for him, he will definitely sense the danger and evacuate.

"Punishment."

Lin Peilun was not polite, he knew that these Red Party members were tough.

But not all Red Party members are hard-headed. They have captured many Red Party members, and there are also many traitors. Shi Haiyang before was an example.

The sooner you pry their mouths open, the bigger the payoff.

The whip was on his body, which was very painful. Lao Deng endured it forcefully, not letting himself make miserable screams. These screams would only irritate the people in front of him more, making them think that they could not bear the punishment.

He has a firm belief that the enemy can destroy his body, but cannot shake his belief.

"Get on the tiger stool."

Seeing that the whip didn't work, Lin Peilun immediately changed the method of torture. Behind the tiger bench, Lao Deng was branded with two bloody marks on his body.

Unable to bear it, Lao Deng passed out.

"Wake him up."

The Red Party is very difficult to deal with. Lin Peilun knows very well that the punishment in front of him is just a small test. He will use all the punishments on this Red Party until he speaks.

The nails were forcibly clipped off one by one, and thin iron nails were forcibly inserted.

With ten fingers connected to heart, Lao Deng couldn't bear it anymore and let out a painful wail.

"Let's talk, you can suffer less if you say it." Lin Peilun asked people to stop the punishment, and said softly.

　The first update is still available today.
