Chapter 159 Helping to Catch Someone
At the Shanghai Station of the Military Intelligence Department, Station Chief Wu had a gloomy look on his face.
He received a telegram from Secretary Qi, but had not yet replied. However, he had learned from a call from headquarters that the Operations Department had also arrested someone in Tianjin and sent the person to Tianjin Station.
But the Tianjin Station was lucky. The people they caught confessed quickly, allowing them to capture three more Japanese spies. However, the two Japanese spies on his side were reluctant to speak.
Originally, he had thought that if the two men really didn't speak, he would never admit that they were Japanese spies.
Anyway, they didn't arrest the people, so they don't know anything. He is not afraid of suing the director later. It is unreasonable for the Operations Department to send him two people and then say they are Japanese spies.
Unfortunately, the Japanese spy in Tianjin confessed, so this excuse could no longer be used.
The Operations Department proved that the person they arrested was a Japanese spy. Tianjin was correct, but you in Shanghai said he was not. What should you think?
"Where's Bai Yuan?"
Stationmaster Wu suddenly asked the secretary beside him, who immediately leaned forward and said, "Team Leader Bai is investigating the situation of those two Japanese spies and has already left."
"What are you investigating? If you want their information, go to the Operations Department at headquarters. Have him come back and continue the interrogation."
Stationmaster Wu said unhappily that Bai Yuan was the head of the intelligence team of the Shanghai station. Bai Yuan was the one who received the person after the Operations Department sent him here, and now the case belongs to him.
"Yes, I'll contact Team Leader Bai right away."
The secretary responded hurriedly. He was Stationmaster Wu's confidant and knew the Stationmaster's mood very well at the moment. This kind of disaster that came from the sky was indeed annoying.
The headquarters operations department is so unkind. They arrested people without informing them in advance, leaving them completely unprepared and now they are in such a passive position.
"Stationmaster, you're looking for me." Bai Yuan came back quickly and looked at Stationmaster Wu nervously.
"I don't care what method you use, you must pry open someone's mouth within twelve hours, otherwise I will deal with you before the higher-ups deal with me."
Stationmaster Wu said coldly that it would be fine if there was no comparison, but now that Tianjin Station has set a good example, if he really can't find anything, he will definitely be considered incompetent by the director.
Virgos are never polite to incompetent people.
"Yes, Station Master, I will go and interrogate you immediately."
Bai Yuan was shocked. He didn't expect the stationmaster to be so strict this time. He didn't bother to investigate the situation of the two people. He could only go to interrogate them first and invite Shen Hanwen over.
He doesn't understand the situation, but the headquarters operations department should understand it, since they are the ones who arrested the person.
"You don't know?"
After asking Shen Hanwen, Bai Yuan was dumbfounded. Shen Hanwen only knew his name and his latent occupation, and nothing else.
That's all you need to arrest someone? You wouldn't cheat someone like this.
"Team Leader Bai, I really don't know."
Shen Hanwen said helplessly, but Bai Yuan was still unwilling to give up and continued to ask, "Then your team leader should know, right?"
He didn't dare to tell the section chief that Henian's rank was higher than his, and he and Chu Lingyun were at the same level.
Shen Hanwen was a little embarrassed, but he still answered truthfully: "I asked, and the team leader didn't know either. It was the Japanese spy we captured who gave them away. Because they had a mission to carry out, they ordered us to arrest them immediately to avoid losses."
Bai Yuan was speechless. He didn't know anything. What should he do?
The two men had been tortured all night, and they needed to be careful if they continued to torture them, otherwise they might be tortured to death. However, the stationmaster only gave him twelve hours, and he had to get a confession today.
Bai Yuan was so angry that he wanted to curse, but Shen Hanwen was not his subordinate, so he didn't dare to insult the people at the headquarters.
This is the advantage of the headquarters. Even if my rank is lower than yours, you have to be polite to me when I get there. Otherwise, I will go back to the headquarters and say bad things about you every day. Your image will be ruined and it will be difficult for you to get promoted in the future.
Chu Lingyun didn't know about the predicament of the Shanghai station, and he knew there was nothing he could do.
This idea was proposed by Henian, not his.
"Ma Jingyuan went to our place?"
After receiving the latest news, Chu Lingyun was stunned. He didn't expect Ma Jingyuan to be so bold as to go to the Military Intelligence Department.
"Team Leader, what is he doing there?"
Loach was a little confused, and after a while he suddenly asked in surprise: "Could it be that he received a mission to assassinate you or other important people?"
Chu Lingyun glared at Loach. How could such an idiotic thing be said?
Ma Jingyuan was just a radio operator, not an operative. Even if the Japanese wanted to take action, they would not order him to do it. It would be more reliable to let Gu Cheng go than him.
But Ma Jingyuan went to the Military Intelligence Department, and Chu Lingyun had to take this seriously, because that was their base after all.
"Keep watching and find out his purpose."
Chu Lingyun gave the order, and his subordinates replied more than an hour later that Ma Jingyuan sat down to eat in a nearby restaurant and chatted with the waiters in the restaurant for a long time.
After he left, the people from the Operations Department immediately went in to inquire about the situation.
"Team Leader, he's asking about the recent vehicle inflow and outflow in our Military Intelligence Department. Did the guy tell him a lot?"
Inquiring about vehicles?
Chu Lingyun finally understood what Ma Jingyuan came for. Kawamoto Xiangtai was his brother, and now he was missing. He must have suspected him and came to inquire about him.
"Team leader, Ma Jingyuan called a rickshaw, and judging from the direction he was heading, he was on his way back."
Loach reported again, Chu Lingyun thought quickly in his mind, and soon he stood up.
"Immediately connect me to Team Leader Zhu from Team 3, and have someone bring that guy back and find out what he said."
Ma Jingyuan suspected that his brother had been arrested by the Military Intelligence Department, so he came to inquire about the situation of the vehicle.
Generally, when there is an operation, there will be a lot of vehicles coming in and out. On the day when they arrested Kawamoto Xiangtai, they did dispatch a lot of vehicles.
If he really found out about this, he would probably conclude that Kawamoto Kawamoto had been arrested.
Ma Jingyuan is not Zhang Bai, nor is he Gu Cheng. He has a radio. If he reports this suspicion, the Japanese side will probably immediately notify them to evacuate.
Chu Lingyun would not take any risks. Regardless of whether Ma Jingyuan understood the situation or not, he would not give him the opportunity to send a message.
"Team leader, why are we looking for Team Leader Zhu?" Loach was a little confused.
"Just hit me if I tell you to." Chu Lingyun glared at him. Loach didn't dare to say anything else and immediately answered the call from Zhu Qing in the department.
Chu Lingyun would not tell him that he had sworn in front of Kawamoto Xiangtai that he would never arrest Ma Jingyuan personally.
He didn't take oaths so seriously before, but people from his later generations came here inexplicably, so he should be cautious about these oaths. After all, they were oaths made with the motherland and relatives.
Of course, there is only one motherland in his heart, and that is the new China of later generations.
"Team Leader Zhu, I have a Japanese spy here. Please do me a favor and take people to capture him immediately."
After the call was connected, Chu Lingyun didn't say anything nonsense, but Zhu Qing was stunned. Didn't he just go to Shanghai to arrest someone? Why was there another Japanese spy for him to arrest?
