Espionage: I became sworn brothers with Zheng Yaoxian at the beginning, and became the Seventh Broth

Chapter 723 The Case Closed (Part 1)

Who could be so capable of making Ye Shaohong secretly tremble with fear?

Very simple.

This person is of extraordinary status.

His father was a lieutenant general in the Nationalist government, and his father was also a well-known and formidable figure in the military.

But none of this matters.

The important thing is that the traitor who defected to the enemy is not even sixteen years old this year.

It's still a baby.

That's right.

This doll is the ace of Kawada Mieko's intelligence team.

The youngest grandson of the Chief of Staff of the Nationalist Government.

Zhou Changhe.

Who would have thought that Kawada Mieko's trump card, the "mole," would actually be a child?

A sixteen-year-old child, although in the Republican era, could already be considered a half-grown boy.

But he is still a minor.

That bastard Kawada Mieko actually used money and sex to manipulate poor female students at Yamashiro Girls' High School, using lust to seduce them and drag them down into this mess.

It's no wonder that the core agencies of the Nationalist government, including the Special Service Department, the Party Affairs Investigation Department, the Second Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense, the General Staff Department, the Command Headquarters, and the Military Command, exhausted all their manpower and resources and searched for many days, but still could not find the source of the leak.

It's truly a case of the blind spot being right under your nose. Even Ye Shaohong, if Kawada Mieko hadn't confessed, would never have imagined that the suspect was actually a minor.

"What a vicious thought!"

"Kawata Mieko, are you even human?"

"Inside Yamashiro Girls' High School, you lured impoverished female students to help you gather intelligence. Outside Yamashiro Girls' High School, you also lured underage children to help you steal secrets!"

"I had already overestimated your wickedness to the greatest extent possible, but now it seems I still underestimated you!"

"You're a fucking beast!"

After a brief moment of shock, Ye Shaohong closed his eyes in pain.

He was having a headache about what to do next.

That's right.

He has now found the leaker of the military deployment plan for the Battle of Xuzhou from the General Staff, but the identity, age, and background of that leaker are not things he can solve.

At the same time, Ye Shaohong was also secretly heartbroken that another future man of China had failed to resist temptation and fallen into the abyss.

"Trouble!"

"I can only report this matter to higher authorities and let Dai Yunong discuss and make a decision with the bald-headed chairman!"

"And because of this child, I have completely offended the bigwigs in the military!"

"The days ahead are going to be tough!"

Ye Shaohong did not speak of these things.

Chi Tiecheng and his group were also unaware of this.

Because of their low social status, they simply couldn't possibly know the troubles and problems behind a person's name.

In the entire interrogation room, only Ye Shaohong knew the general outline of the situation. After a brief moment of thought, Ye Shaohong reopened his eyes.

He thought for a moment, then gestured for Chi Tiecheng and the others to leave.

Once the interrogation room door was closed, leaving only Ye Shaohong and the Japanese spy Kawada Mieko inside, Ye Shaohong began to ask Kawada Mieko about the details of the incident.

The main questions were how to contact Zhou Changhe and how many times Zhou Changhe had betrayed Nationalist government intelligence.

How did he obtain this intelligence information?

How much did Mieko Kawada sacrifice?

Kawada Mieko did not hide anything from Ye Shaohong's inquiry.

She was scared too.

I dare not continue to suffer that cruel and merciless ice torture.

As a woman, Kawada Mieko could better understand the horror of this ice torture. In just a few minutes, it had already completely broken her mind and body.

All that talk of loyalty and sycophancy, all that brainwashing education, it's all utter garbage now.

And so, Ye Shaohong questioned Kawada Mieko, who honestly confessed. It took Ye Shaohong another ten minutes to get all the information he needed.

He also ultimately confirmed that there was no problem with Mieko Kawada's testimony.

There is no possibility of lying.

This only made Ye Shaohong's expression more serious.

"very good!"

"You should rest here for now. I'll arrange for a doctor to come and treat your injuries later."

"You cannot disclose this information to anyone before I return."

"No one!" After saying this, Ye Shaohong picked up the statement record on the table and walked out.

After closing the interrogation room door, Ye Shaohong met Chi Tiecheng.

He issued another order, instructing Chi Tiecheng to personally lead a team to guard and protect the interrogation room.

They were not allowed to go in to visit the suspect.

They also made them supervise each other.

After finishing these tasks, Ye Shaohong didn't dare to delay for a moment and went straight back to his office.

With one phone call, he went directly to the headquarters of the Jiangcheng Special Service Department.

The person who answered the phone was Mao Renfeng.

Mao Renfeng was quite surprised to hear Ye Shaohong's voice on the phone.

Mao Renfeng asked what Ye Shaohong wanted to do by calling. Normally, regardless of whether Ye Shaohong thought highly of Mao Renfeng, this smiling tiger, he would definitely give Mao Renfeng some face.

But today is different.

The situation revealed by Kawada Mieko was too serious, and Ye Shaohong dared not slack off in the slightest.

Therefore, he bluntly asked Mao Renfeng about Dai Yunong's whereabouts.

Mao Renfeng was furious at Ye Shaohong's disrespectful behavior.

Who is Mao Renfeng?

One of the later military leaders who wore the hat of Sanmao.

The future director of the Bureau of Secrecy.

He was also Dai Yunong's benefactor, having sponsored Dai Yunong's travel expenses to study at Whampoa Military Academy, and was an absolute confidant of Dai Yunong.

To put it simply, even in recent times, Mao Renfeng's wife was Dai Yunong's mistress.

Ye Shaohong is quite bold.

Knowing full well Mao Renfeng's special position within the Special Service Department, how could he dare to disregard him like this? It's no wonder Mao Renfeng was furious.

"Yo!"

"Xiao Qi, you've solved a major case!"

"What, can't I even hear about these things anymore?"

On the phone, Mao Renfeng changed how he addressed Ye Shaohong, and his tone and words became more sarcastic.

Clearly, Ye Shaohong's stern refusal had already aroused the jealousy of this narrow-minded, smiling tiger.

"Brother Mao!"

"Brother, I really didn't mean to hide it from you, it's just that this matter is too big."

"You know, that's bad!" Ye Shaohong wasn't afraid of that bastard, but he didn't want to make an enemy out of nothing.

There are no benefits or advantages, so it's not worth it.

Therefore, after a brief moment of thought, Ye Shaohong still spoke vaguely, but subtly hinted at something to Mao Renfeng.

Mao Renfeng was also a smart man.

Having worked in the Special Service Department, the largest intelligence agency of the Nationalist government, and being familiar with the rules and regulations of the spy business, Mao Renfeng immediately understood after Ye Shaohong's reminder.

In that instant, a layer of cold sweat instantly seeped from his fat, short body.

An unspeakable fear gripped Mao Renfeng's heart.

He finally understood.

Not daring to waste any more time, and even less daring to continue pretending to be arrogant in front of Ye Shaohong, he quickly gave an embarrassed laugh. "Oh, brother, I was wrong."

"Please forgive your brother this time."

"No problem, I owe you a favor today, and I'll definitely repay you in the future."

"I hope you won't blame your brother!"

Mao Renfeng first tried to make amends for his mistakes, then changed the subject and brought up Dai Yunong's whereabouts.

No wonder he had time to show off to Ye Shaohong here.

The reason was that Dai Yunong happened to have to go out on business. Before leaving, Dai Yunong specifically instructed Mao Renfeng to handle the department's official business on his behalf.

But it doesn't matter now.

Ye Shaohong has made things very clear. This is a very serious matter, and they cannot handle it beyond their authority.

Even if Dai Yunong is genuinely busy, this matter still needs to be handled by him personally. Perhaps it's to make up for the mistake he made earlier.

Dai Yunong's trip was absolutely confidential, but Mao Renfeng still told Ye Shaohong about it in person.

It was only then that Ye Shaohong realized what Dai Yunong had been busy with.

That bastard is busy swindling money for the bald-headed chairman.

This order was personally issued by the bald-headed Chairman.

The goal was to rebuild the Central Army.

To re-expand the loyal forces under the bald-headed chairman.

Many people are actually aware of these things, but that's how it is in officialdom; things that are known to everyone remain secrets as long as no one speaks them out.

Moreover, it's a secret that can't be revealed.

Ye Shaohong certainly understood this principle as well.

He didn't dare to touch this forbidden zone. After learning Dai Yunong's whereabouts from Mao Renfeng, Ye Shaohong didn't delve into the matter at all.

He simply informed Mao Renfeng, telling him to contact Dai Yunong immediately.

Dai Yunong was ordered to immediately return to the headquarters of the Special Service Department.
