Chapter 188 Bold Idea
The shout of this team member made the people around him look up at the sky.
The sky was a little dark at this time, but the visibility in the sky was very high and very clear, without any dark clouds at all.
Jiang Tengkong didn't even look up and ran backwards instantly.
He is a veteran intelligence officer and was an agent in his early years at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This little trick can't fool him at all, it will only make him more certain that there is something wrong here.
Although he is not tall, he is very fast, and the several team members who have taken action have not yet formed an encirclement to Jiang Tengkong.
Henian stood at the window and clenched his fists.
Chu Lingyun looked serious. Jiang Tengkong couldn't escape. There were people stationed at the intersections on both sides, and there were three team members on the roof ready to snipe at any time. Once Jiang Tengkong resisted stubbornly or tried to escape from their encirclement, they would decisively shoot.
Even if I beat him to death, I can't let him run away like this.
But the dead Jiang Tengkong is not worth even one tenth of his value when he is alive. His death is just like killing a Japanese agent, and no important information can be obtained from him.
Jiang Tengkong was not only the former head of the intelligence department in Wuhan, but also a military attaché and knew a lot of secrets.
If you can capture it alive, it’s best to capture it alive.
Jiang Tengkong ran very fast, but the team members behind him were chasing him even more closely, and two of them had already approached him.
Jiang Tengkong suddenly took out a pistol, turned around and shot.
Turn on the safety and shoot the bullet, all in one go.
After a few shots, a team member's shoulder was scratched with blood. The gunshots caused chaos among the people around him, and many people screamed and fled everywhere.
Guns were fired and the situation was heading in a bad direction.
"Chief, I'll go take a look."
Chu Lingyun said to He Nian, but before he could run out, he was grabbed by He Nian: "You are not allowed to go anywhere."
He Nian's face was gloomy. He was also very worried about the unexpected operation, but Jiang Tengkong had already fired the gun, and it was too dangerous for Chu Lingyun to run away at this time.
What is a Jiang Tengkong?
With Chu Lingyun around, he would be able to find more Japanese spies and more Jiang Tengkong in the future. He would never let Chu Lingyun take the risk himself.
"Bang, bang, bang."
There were continuous gunshots outside. Jiang Tengkong had already run far away and could no longer be seen through the window. Chu Lingyun was unable to go out. At this time, it was Loach who was in charge of the command outside.
Chu Lingyun felt a little regretful at this moment. He should have brought Shen Hanwen with him. Loach could not handle such a situation at all. Shen Hanwen would definitely be fearless and rush to the front.
As for the loach, I guess I don’t know where it’s hiding right now.
Unable to get out, Chu Lingyun could only wait patiently. Fortunately, he always took stability into consideration from the beginning and made proper arrangements.
Seven or eight minutes later, the door of the teahouse's private room was suddenly pushed open.
"Section Chief, Team Leader, we've caught him."
The one who rushed in was Loach, shouting excitedly. Chu Lingyun noticed that he was holding a gun in his hand, and his hand was shaking.
"Dead or alive?" He Nian turned around suddenly and asked quickly.
"Alive, but with a minor injury on his foot. It wasn't a gunshot wound, but a kick from Zhao Dong."
Loach nodded quickly. Zhao Dong was good at fighting, and he was in the first ambush circle. He was disguised as a rickshaw driver.
"As long as you're not dead."
Henian excitedly pounded his hands, thinking that he could only bring back a dead person today, but unexpectedly, he caught a living person.
The living Jiang Tengkong is extremely valuable.
"Chief, let's go take a look."
Chu Lingyun walked over and unexpectedly smelled a hint of gunpowder. The smell came from the gun in Loach's hand. Did Loach just fire a gun?
There was no time to ask Niu for details. The most important thing now was to determine Jiang Tengkong's situation.
Outside, several team members had tied Jiang Tengkong up tightly. All the places on his body where drugs might be hidden, such as his collar, glasses, and watch, had been taken off.
Jiang Tengkong was unable to move and could only make a humming sound.
"Section Chief, Team Leader, two brothers were injured, but fortunately they are not seriously injured."
When they arrived at the place, Loach hurriedly said that time was too tight and he had no time to report these things.
"Send the injured brother to the hospital immediately."
Chu Lingyun said immediately, and the two injured people looked stunned. Zhao Dong was one of them. He hurried over and let Chu Lingyun see his wound.
There was a deep tooth mark on his arm, where he was bitten by Jiang Tengkong.
"Team leader, I don't need to go to the hospital." Zhao Dong's injury was only slightly bleeding and was not serious at all.
"I don't need to go to the hospital." Another injured team member also ran over. His injury was serious, but it was also a superficial wound. The bullet grazed his shoulder but didn't even penetrate the flesh. The medical room in the department could help him.
"I'm glad you're okay. Loach, take your men and capture Lan Chuchu immediately."
After confirming that the two people's injuries were indeed not serious, Chu Lingyun did not insist on going to the hospital and gave orders to Niu Qiu again.
Regardless of whether Lan Chuchu knew Jiang Tengkong's identity or not, it was impossible for her to keep him because of her special relationship with Jiang Tengkong.
"yes."
Loach ran back. Compared with capturing Jiang Tengkong, catching Lan Chuchu was much easier.
Lan Chuchu was in the room, curled up on the bed.
He didn't know what was happening outside, but the continuous gunshots scared him so much that he didn't even have the courage to go to the window to look.
"Bang."
His door was suddenly kicked open. Lan Chuchu was stunned for a moment, and then she screamed when she saw several big men rushing into his room.
These people don't care about his feelings, not to mention that he, a man, behaves like this, which makes many people feel sick and nauseous.
Lan Chuchu was tied up and brought out, and was directly stuffed into the car. A few people were left behind to handle the follow-up matters, and the others all returned to the Military Intelligence Department.
The interrogation department received a call in advance and made preparations in advance.
"Chief, with Chu Lingyun joining the Operations Department, our workload has increased significantly."
The head of the interrogation team reported to their section chief. Liao Zhicai looked at him unhappily and said, "Isn't it better to be busy with work? If it weren't for Chu Lingyun, would you have a part in this commendation meeting?"
The Interrogation Department helped with interrogations, leading to confessions from many Japanese spies. Several people were awarded at this commendation ceremony.
Even though it was not a great achievement, this small contribution allowed the two men to be successfully promoted in military rank. Among them was the team leader, who was promoted to major due to his merits.
You know, their military rank promotion was very slow before.
"Okay, of course. I hope he can arrest more people so that we can all make a contribution."
The team leader hurriedly replied, and Liao Zhicai shook his head and said, "Stop joking. Go and help the Operations Department interrogate the prisoners. That's our chance."
"Chief, they just called and said Chief He is following us and will be here soon."
This was the main point of his report. New Year's greetings were coming, and their section chief had to be notified of this.
"He Nian is here too. Let's go."
Knowing that Henian would come, Liao Zhicai could no longer sit still. Although they were both section chiefs, Henian's status was much higher than his. Henian was not only the director's confidant, but also an important member ranking at the forefront of the department.
Originally, Xu Yi's status was higher than He Nian's, but the Intelligence Department was now suppressed by the Operations Department, and He Nian was showing signs of being the third most important person in the department.
The second-in-command is Secretary Qi. Although he is just a secretary, his status in the department is extremely high.
As for Deputy Director Chen Zhengxiang, these section chiefs didn't take him seriously at all.
Liao Zhicai didn't have to wait long before He Nian brought a group of people and brought two tied people to the interrogation room.
"Section Chief He."
Liao Zhicai hurried forward. He had a close relationship with Henian, but Henian was very popular now, so it would not hurt him to get to know him better.
"Chief Liao, I'm sorry to trouble you again."
The person has just been caught, and now we must interrogate him as soon as possible. Every second counts. The sooner the Japanese spy confesses, the higher the value of their intelligence.
"This is our job. Everything is ready inside. Please."
Liao Zhicai knew the seriousness of the matter, so he took them to the interrogation room without any nonsense.
Two interrogation rooms were prepared, and Jiang Tengkong and Lan Chuchu were tried separately. Jiang Tengkong's side was the most important, and Lan Chuchu's side was not even visited by Niu Qiu, so Zhao Dong was arranged to be in charge of the interrogation.
He Nian sat at the interrogation table and watched Jiang Tengkong being hung up.
Poison and a pistol were found on Jiang Tengkong, but no grenade. According to Loach's report, Jiang Tengkong had the opportunity to commit suicide by taking poison, but he did not do so.
Having the opportunity to commit suicide but not being sure of it proves that he does not want to die, so the chances of him surrendering will increase significantly.
"Jiang Tengkong, please introduce yourself. I'm Chu Lingyun, the leader of Group 4 of the Operations Section of the Military Intelligence Department."
Chu Lingyun walked to Jiang Tengkong and spoke slowly.
Jiang Tengkong immediately turned his head to look at him. This young man was Chu Lingyun, who had caused him heavy losses in Wuhan, came to Nanjing, and repeatedly dealt heavy blows to them, and even captured him.
It’s true that youth is scary.
"We've fought many times, but it seems like I always win. Now even you're in my hands. Aren't you going to say anything?"
Chu Lingyun used a psychological warfare tactic. First, he established his superior image, and secondly, he reminded Jiang Tengkong that he was just a loser.
"How's Chuchu?"
Jiang Tengkong spoke, but what no one expected was that the person he asked was actually that man.
"He's fine, but whether he continues to be fine depends on you."
Chu Lingyun immediately said that Jiang Tengkong cared a lot about Lan Chuchu, and this man might be his weak spot.
"I have nothing to say. If you want to beat me or kill me, it's up to you." After saying that, Jiang Tengkong closed his eyes.
"Go and bring Lan Chuchu here."
Chu Lingyun suddenly said that he did not torture Jiang Tengkong. When Jiang Tengkong asked Lan Chuchu just now, Chu Lingyun suddenly had a bold idea in his mind.
If they could persuade Jiang Tengkong to defect and work for them, not only would they be able to infiltrate a high-level insider within the Special High Section, but the "catfish" in Wuhan would not have to retreat.
This will be of great benefit to both him and Wang Yuemin.
Since you want to persuade him to defect, it's best not to torture him. Once you leave scars on him, his identity will be exposed if he is discovered when he returns.
Not to mention intelligence personnel, even ordinary people could easily tell what the injuries on his body were. The injuries caused by torture were completely different from ordinary accidental injuries.
"Jiang Lang, what's going on? Who are they? Why are they arresting us?"
As soon as Lan Chuchu was brought over, she shouted at Jiang Tengkong, and her voice gave goosebumps to everyone in the room.
"Doesn't he know who you are?"
Chu Lingyun looked at Jiang Tengkong with a smile. If Lan Chuchu knew that Jiang Tengkong was a Japanese agent, she would definitely understand what was going on when she came here.
"Let him go."
Jiang Tengkong looked at Chu Lingyun angrily. Chu Lingyun walked to Lan Chuchu with a smile and took out a branding iron from the red-hot stove next to him.
"You decide how he's treated. If you make it difficult for me, then I can only make it difficult for him."
Chu Lingyun held a red-hot branding iron and gestured in front of Lan Chuchu's face. This guy, who was physically male but mentally female, could no longer hold on and completely collapsed, crying and screaming.
Jiang Tengkong closed his eyes again, but his shoulders kept shaking.
Chu Lingyun put down the branding iron and returned to his side: "Speak, if you speak, you will suffer less, and he won't suffer either. I promise you, as long as your matter has nothing to do with him, we won't make things difficult for him."
"You release him first, and I won't tell you until I'm sure he's safe."
Jiang Tengkong looked at Chu Lingyun angrily. Why did these words sound familiar? Hayakawa Ping had done the same to his wife.
As expected of former leaders and subordinates, their working styles are so similar.
"You have no room for bargaining."
Jiang Tengkong is not Hayakawa Ping. Hayakawa Ping was very stubborn at the beginning and even took the electric chair.
Chu Lingyun hadn't tortured him yet, and it hadn't reached that point, so it was naturally impossible for him to agree to his request now.
"Put Lan Chuchu on the tiger bench..."
He Nian suddenly shouted. He had already realized that Chu Lingyun was just trying to scare Lan Chuchu and had no intention of torturing her.
If Chu Lingyun's branding iron had been a little closer to Lan Chuchu, or if he had really hit him, Jiang Tengkong might not have been able to hold back and would have confessed.
As an old man in the Military Intelligence Department and the chief of the Operations Department, He Nian is not an incompetent person.
He could see clearly whether Chu Lingyun really wanted to torture or intimidate.
If they really wanted to torture her, the branding iron wouldn't be so far away from Lan Chuchu's body, and they wouldn't still be threatening her verbally without taking any action.
Jiang Tengkong is an experienced old agent. He may have also seen Chu Lingyun's soft heart, making his inducement to confess ineffective.
From the current perspective, Lan Chuchu knows nothing and is a complete outsider, or someone who has been deceived by Jiang Tengkong.
Chu Lingyun is young and doesn't want to hurt innocent people, which Henian can understand.
He is not Chu Lingyun. His heart has long been turned into steel through repeated actions and interrogations. Even if Lan Chuchu is innocent and knows nothing, she cannot escape as long as he is involved with the Japanese spy.
All I can say is that he was unlucky to have met Jiang Tengkong.
Since Henian gave the order personally, no one dared to be careless.
Several people from the interrogation department came forward and put Lan Chuchu on the tiger bench. The tiger bench looked simple, but it was actually very painful.
Lan Chuchu's shoes and socks were forcibly taken off, and he sat upright on the bench. Several people kept pressing on him to make him sit up straight.
"Jiang Lang, Jiang Lang, save me."
Lan Chuchu screamed in fear, and Jiang Tengkong looked at Henian with anger in his eyes. He had indeed seen that Chu Lingyun did not really want to torture him, so he had no intention of confessing.
But the person in front of him shattered all his fantasies.
