Chapter 167 One Left
"I really don't understand why Team Leader Kyono didn't transfer me."
Jin Jing Gucun shook his head helplessly. If he could be transferred out of Nanjing, even to the Northeast to continue his intelligence work, he would not have ended up like this.
"But Team Leader Kyono is an extreme supporter of the Emperor. He believes that everything he owns belongs to the Emperor, including his family. He thinks it's a shame for his brother, who has such a good status, to live such a dull life. He believes that Japan will definitely defeat China, and that this fertile land will definitely belong to Japan in the future."
At this point, Chu Lingyun finally understood that Kyono Maki was a fanatic. No wonder he was so decisive in detonating the grenade when facing arrest.
Such people are scary, but even more hateful.
Japan was short of resources, so they set their sights on China, trying to strengthen themselves through invasion and plunder, rather than thinking about how to develop themselves.
Kyono Maki deserved to die, and it’s a good thing he died, otherwise who knows how many people would suffer because of him in the future.
Such people will never treat Chinese people as human beings.
"I'm done. You must keep your word and let my wife and children go."
Jinjing Gucun looked at Chu Lingyun nervously, fearing that he would go back on his word and not keep his promise.
"Don't worry, as long as what you say is true, they will definitely not die."
Chu Lingyun had no intention of killing his wife and children, so he could make this promise to him.
"Thanks."
Jinjing Gucun felt a little relieved. After explaining it, if the other party was still willing to say so, there was a high probability that he would do so. He was no longer valuable, so there was no need for the other party to deceive him.
After imprisoning Jinjing Ancient Village, Chu Lingyun brought Loach out.
"Team leader, I didn't expect Zhao Pinsong to hide so deeply."
Loach sighed and said that when Jinjing Ancient Village mentioned Zhao Pinsong's name, his first feeling was that it was unbelievable and the other party was deliberately lying.
But after listening to Jinjing Gucun's explanation, he already believed that Zhao Pinsong was a Japanese spy.
"Go to the Dayuan Theater and ask an old man to find out whether Zhao Pinsong could speak Chinese when he was sold to the theater, and how well he spoke it."
It is not difficult to verify Zhao Pinsong's identity. He was abducted as a child and grew up in Japan. He certainly could not speak Chinese at that time. Even if he could, it would not be the same as what the Chinese people speak.
A three-year-old child can already speak quite a lot.
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Loach took the order and left, while Chu Lingyun returned to the office and took out Zhao Pinsong's information again.
Sold to a theater since childhood, he must have suffered a lot when he was young. Zhao Pinsong is a poor man. If it weren't for Kyono Maki, he could have lived a good life and no one would know his background.
If he really provided intelligence to the Japanese, even if it was not important intelligence, he would not have a good ending in the end.
The next morning, Loach came to Chu Lingyun's office.
"Team Leader, I found two elderly people from the theater last night. They both said that when Zhao Pinsong first arrived at the theater, he couldn't speak and they thought he was mute. One of them remembered Zhao Pinsong speaking, but unfortunately he couldn't understand what he said, but it was definitely not a dialect. The elderly person doesn't understand Japanese, so he can't be sure if it was Japanese."
Loach reported quickly that he couldn't speak Chinese, which was enough to confirm that there was something wrong with Zhao Pinsong.
Children living in China, even if they have been abducted, will definitely speak Chinese.
"Keep an eye on Zhao Pinsong and find an opportunity to search his home."
Chu Lingyun gave the order. Loach was slightly startled and asked hurriedly, "Team Leader, why don't you just catch him?"
"No, there are still two people who haven't been found. Zhao Pinsong is very popular in the Dayuan Theater. If the Japanese know that he has been captured, they will notify the others to evacuate."
Zhao Pinsong is not from Jinjing Ancient Village. Chu Lingyun has already asked someone to ask for leave for Si Lihua at school, so it will be fine if he disappears for a short time.
Zhao Pinsong is not a good choice. Many people like to listen to his plays. If he suddenly disappears, or disappears for a long time, the Japanese will notice something unusual.
"yes."
Loach immediately responded, saying that the team leader was very thoughtful and why didn't he think of this.
Zhang Bai has five subordinates plus a radio operator. Now two have been captured and two have been discovered, leaving only two people hiding in the dark.
The seventeen people removed Si Lihua and Zhao Pinsong, and the remaining people investigated faster. Two days later, Niu Qiu came to report to Chu Lingyun.
"Team Leader, I found an opportunity to search Zhao Pinsong's home these past two days, and there's nothing unusual in his home."
There were no abnormalities, which meant that he did not have the necessary equipment for agents such as pistols, poison grenades, etc., but it did not prove that he was not a Japanese spy.
"Keep watching him." Chu Lingyun ordered.
"Yes, team leader, I have good news."
Loach suddenly grinned, and without waiting for Chu Lingyun to ask, he took the initiative to say: "I found a Japanese spy named Yan Shun who works at the telephone bureau. I have searched his home and found things, including pistols, poison, and grenades."
"Did you find one?"
Chu Lingyun was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Loach had actually caught a Japanese spy by himself. In this way, there was only one Japanese spy left.
"Yes, Yan Shun is from Zhenjiang. I investigated his past and found a person named Yan Shun, but it wasn't him at all. After I got the news, I searched his house immediately and found the thing."
The more Loach spoke, the more excited he became. This was the first Japanese spy he had found since arriving at the headquarters.
Although the credit went to the team leader in the early stages, this time he was the one who found the person and the evidence.
"Well done." Chu Lingyun praised.
Loach asked, "Team Leader, do you want to arrest Yan Shun first?"
"Yes, but be careful when arresting people."
Yan Shun worked at the telephone bureau and could easily contact the outside world. Once he was confirmed to be a Japanese spy, he could be arrested.
"Yes, I will ensure that the task is completed."
Loach stood up straight and gave a standard military salute, unlike before when he liked to smile and salute crookedly.
Loach understood that Chu Lingyun was giving all the credit for catching Yan Shun to him. Even if Chu Lingyun had not participated, Yan Shun would have been the one caught by Loach, and the main credit would have gone to him.
If Chu Lingyun followed him, he would only be able to achieve secondary success.
After Loach left, Chu Lingyun took out the remaining fourteen documents and examined them carefully.
He has read this information countless times. The closer the person is to being caught last, the deeper he is hiding. He must not be careless at this time.
Chu Lingyun divided the fourteen people into key suspects and ordinary suspects. Excluding Yan Shun, there are still four key suspects.
Chu Lingyun had a hunch that the last remaining Japanese spy was among these four.
Two hours later, Loach returned to the office happily, and Yan Shun, who was tied up, came back with him.
Chu Lingyun did not participate in the interrogation of Yan Shun, and let Niu Qiu interrogate him himself. There will be many Japanese spies to be arrested in the future, and Niu Qiu is his capable subordinate. This is a rare training opportunity.
