Chapter 160 Bring the Confession
But it is a good thing to be able to catch a Japanese spy. Chu Lingyun, this new colleague, is very kind. He just gave him a chance to make meritorious service and now he is giving him another one.
Zhu Qing knew the mission was urgent, so he didn't ask any questions and immediately led his men out.
Ma Jingyuan was riding in a rickshaw, while they were driving a car. Not only did they overtake Ma Jingyuan, they also arrived at the road not far from Jingyuan Bookstore in advance.
This was the location Chu Lingyun had chosen for him, suitable for ambushing and capturing people.
Chu Lingyun brought Niu Qiu and others to Jingyuan Bookstore. He could give the people to Zhu Qing, but the radio and code book must be his, and he would not hand over these two things.
"Team leader, people are almost here."
Zhu Qing's men came to report immediately after receiving the notice. He had just led his men to create a car accident on the street, and Ma Jingyuan was about to arrive, so he arrived just in time.
The car accident can be used to stop the rickshaw that Ma Jingyuan is riding in and wait for an opportunity to arrest him.
These Japanese spies resisted very fiercely and would commit suicide at any time. Chu Lingyun had just been in trouble, so Zhu Qing did not dare to be careless.
Many streets in this era were not wide, so Zhu Qing let the two trucks he brought collide with each other and blocked the road, blocking all the vehicles.
Fortunately, they were not using military vehicles this time. The Military Intelligence Department used vehicles that looked almost ordinary. Their mission was special, and using military vehicles directly would easily expose their identities.
When Ma Jingyuan arrived in a rickshaw, the road was completely blocked and his hand awkwardly grasped the pistol at his waist.
"Another car accident. Why are there always car accidents here?"
The rickshaw driver put down his rickshaw, wiped his sweat, and said dissatisfiedly. Ma Jingyuan immediately asked: "Are there often car accidents here?"
Although Jingyuan Bookstore is not far from here, Ma Jingyuan doesn't go out often, so even if he heard that there was a car accident outside, he didn't know the exact location.
"It happens often. There was one incident the day before yesterday. This road is not wide and there are not many people. The cars were driving very fast, as if they were in a hurry to be reborn."
The driver complained dissatisfiedly, and Ma Jingyuan felt relieved and put the gun back to its place.
Since this happens so often, it's not an accident.
After waiting for a while, more and more people were stuck in traffic, so Ma Jingyuan got off the rickshaw to see if he could walk directly back to the bookstore.
"Get started."
Seeing Ma Jingyuan get out of the car, Zhu Qing realized that the time had come and immediately gave orders. Several members of the third action group quietly approached Ma Jingyuan.
They pounced on Ma Jingyuan in an instant, and Ma Jingyuan was controlled before he could react.
The pistol and poison were searched out of him, his mouth was gagged, and he was taken away tied up.
The driver who was pulling him was stunned. He didn't dare to say a word when he saw Ma Jingyuan being taken away. He hadn't received his fare yet, but how could he dare to ask for money in his current state?
"Team Leader, Team Leader Zhu has caught someone."
Loach received the news and reported it immediately. Chu Lingyun nodded and ordered: "Move."
He waited until Ma Jingyuan was arrested before searching Jingyuan Bookstore.
If Zhu Qing's operation fails, Ma Jingyuan might escape back here. If he finds that the bookstore is sealed off, he will not be so stupid as to break in again.
Although this possibility is small, Chu Lingyun has made all the necessary preparations.
The two bookstore employees were controlled without any resistance and they didn't know what was going on.
Loach personally led the team in to search, and he didn't come out until half an hour later.
"Team leader, we found the radio and the code book."
Loach wiped his sweat off his forehead and said fearfully, "That guy was very cunning. He placed a grenade, but instead of detonating it when the box was opened, he placed it underneath the box. He dug a hole underneath to secure the grenade. Once the box was lifted, the grenade would go off. The place where he placed the radio was very narrow, so there was no time to escape."
Ma Jingyuan's radio station had set up a trap, and it was a very hidden trap. Fortunately, Loach was quite clever, and Chu Lingyun had reminded him, so he saw through the trap.
"I'm glad you're okay."
Chu Lingyun nodded. When dealing with these Japanese spies, one must not be careless at all, otherwise one could lose his life at any time.
"Leave two people to continue running the bookstore, and the others will pack up."
After finding the radio and the code book, Chu Lingyun searched the bookstore carefully, but returned without any results.
Loach did not go back. Although Chu Lingyun gave the credit for capturing Ma Jingyuan to Group 3, he was the one who found the radio and the code book, and this credit was enough.
Besides, by arresting Ma Jingyuan, he had secured his share of the spoils and no longer had to worry about him escaping the net. He could also save some manpower, as at least Ma Jingyuan no longer had to be watched.
"Team Leader Chu, thank you very much this time."
In the Military Intelligence Department, Zhu Qing waited for Chu Lingyun in the interrogation room. He was only responsible for helping to arrest people and would not interrogate them.
"Team Leader Zhu, you're too polite. I can't spare anyone here, and we're so close, so I'd like to ask for your help."
Chu Lingyun said with a smile, and his words made Zhu Qing laugh out loud: "Team Leader Chu, I won't delay your work. The person is in there and can be interrogated at any time."
After saying that, Zhu Qing led the team away. He was very satisfied with the achievement of capturing another Japanese spy.
After catching the person, he could actually try the case himself, after all, he was the one who caught the person. But if he did so, he would completely offend Chu Lingyun, and others would look down on him.
No one is so ruthless in stealing credit as he did. Since he can be the team leader, he is naturally not so short-sighted.
"Kawamoto Jiro."
After entering the interrogation room, Chu Lingyun called out Ma Jingyuan's name. Ma Jingyuan's body tensed, but he did not answer Chu Lingyun.
"Jiang Binghui, I've already captured Zhang Bai. Your value as a radio operator isn't high. If you don't want to suffer, you'd better tell the truth about all the problems."
Chu Lingyun deliberately did not say Jiang Binghui's real name, mainly because he did not know Zhang Bai's real name. Kawamoto Xiangtai was just affiliated with Zhang Bai, and only knew that Zhang Bai's code name was Lizard, but did not know Zhang Bai's real name.
Kawamoto Jiro lowered his head and still did not speak.
"Your brother and you do have a good relationship. After he confessed, he begged me to let you go, and I agreed. I hope you won't make things difficult for me."
"No, my brother can't be a rebel."
Kawamoto Jiro suddenly shouted that his brother was the most perfect person in his heart. He believed that everyone else would betray, including Zhang Bai, but his brother would definitely be loyal to the empire.
"Bring Kawamoto Muta's confession here."
Chu Lingyun sneered and asked someone to bring Kawamoto Xiangtai's confession, both the true and false confessions.
Chu Lingyun knew that it was a fabricated confession, but Kawamoto Jiro didn't know.
Chu Lingyun personally brought it to Kawamoto Jiro and asked him to carefully read the contents of the confession and the signatures and fingerprints on it. Before he finished reading the contents, Kawamoto Jiro's face turned pale.
Zhang Bai's code name appeared in the confession. At that time, he did not believe that his brother had betrayed him, but Hoshinofu's name appeared.
Mr. Hoshino is his brother's disciple. Except for a few people in the headquarters, even Zhang Bai doesn't know of Mr. Hoshino's existence.
If my brother had not confessed, the Chinese would never have known about this person, let alone that he was in Tianjin and his hidden identity.
