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

Chapter 81 Secret Code

To be honest, Li Yunlong's flattery skills were really not that great.

At least in Ye Shaohong's view, apart from some sincerity, there was nothing else worth mentioning.

Fortunately, Ye Shaohong didn't care about these things.

He casually waved his hand, interrupting Li Yunlong's flattery, and then his gaze fell on the Japanese spy.

"let's start."

"Okay, Captain!"

Li Yunlong was taken aback, then suddenly realized what was happening. He immediately started cracking his knuckles, and with a series of crisp cracking sounds, he slowly walked up to the spy.

"Listen up." "Our captain is going to ask you some questions, and you'd better answer them honestly."

“If you dare to hide anything or hesitate even a little bit, then I will use the same method on you again.”

The Japanese spy on the rack was also terrified by Li Yunlong's torture. Upon hearing his words, it was clear that the Japanese spy's body trembled rapidly a few times, and then he hurriedly looked at Ye Shaohong.

They awaited Ye Shaohong's summons.

"Name, place of origin, position, mission in Jinling City..."

These are all standard interrogation procedures used by the Special Service Department. Ye Shaohong has interrogated people and been interrogated himself, so he has long since memorized the methods.

Now, when he opened his mouth to ask, there was naturally no hesitation. "Sir, my name is Tanaka Tsuguhito, and I am from Japan..."

Judging from the current situation, this Japanese soldier's attitude towards surrendering is quite good. Faced with Ye Shaohong's questioning, he told him everything about his situation in detail.

Age and place of origin are not important.

Ye Shaohong casually wrote it down on the record and then paid no more attention to it. What really concerned him was this person's position and the mission he had come to Jinling.

In particular, he needs to decide who to hand the pocket camera over to.

Furthermore, why did he bring such crucial military intelligence to Nanjing?

This is the issue that Ye Shaohong cares about most.

Tanaka Tsujin was quite cooperative and provided answers to all the questions.

According to this Japanese soldier, he was an employee of the Ministry of Home Affairs of Japan and had received training at Nakano School for a period of time. His mission was to infiltrate Nanjing and deliver the pocket-sized film to a Japanese spy.

As for the Japanese spy's name, where he came from, his position, and what he looked like, Tanaka Tsujin knew nothing.

All he knew was the time and place to contact them, and the code word for the meeting.

This surprised Ye Shaohong quite a bit.

It is important to know that the Japanese began their intelligence work very early during the Republic of China period. As early as the First Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese had already consciously begun intelligence gathering.

Take Tu Feiyuan Xian Er for example.

In later online accounts, he is known as a notorious Japanese spy chief.

Strictly speaking, he can only be considered a second-generation intelligence agent for the Japanese.

Compared to Hirokazu Kazuji, his teacher was more capable and more belligerent and fanatical. His name was Rihachiro Sakanishi.

Born into a traditional samurai family in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, he received militaristic education from a young age and was an out-and-out warmonger.

Although this person had not received formal intelligence training, he spent his entire life working as a spy.

After the First Sino-Japanese War, Sakanishi Rihachiro came to China and joined the staff of Yuan Shikai, who was then the Governor-General of Zhili, becoming a highly valued foreign advisor to Yuan.

It was under this man's advice and encouragement that Yuan Shikai started step by step from Xiaozhan, eventually overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and successfully seizing the fruits of the democratic revolution.

Finally, he went so far as to attempt to become emperor again.

It was also under this person's secret planning that he colluded with the Japanese headquarters and signed the Twenty-One Demands with Yuan Shikai, a treaty that humiliated the nation and ceded sovereignty.

Even after Yuan Shikai's death, Sakanishi Rihachiro did not give up his ambition to steal the heart of China. He then served under Li Yuanhong, Feng Guozhang, Xu Shichang, Cao Kun, and Duan Qirui, continuing to act as their foreign advisor.

Using his identity as a Japanese, he colluded with these former officials of the Beiyang government, helping them expand their power while constantly collecting and organizing intelligence about our country.

Ultimately, it earned the infamous reputation of "surviving the rise and fall of seven dynasties."

correct.

There is one more thing to mention about this person: in Europe and other places, spies are spies, but only in East Asia is there the term "spy."

The term "spy" was actually first summarized and categorized by Rihachiro Sakanishi.

Both Rihachiro Sakanishi and Shigeru Honjo can be considered representative figures of the Japanese spy network.

Honjo Shigeru has framed and harmed both the old and young marshals of Northeast China.

Rihachiro Sakanishi was no pushover either. He not only taught Kenji Doi-maru, a spy chief, but also Seishiro Itagaki, a heinous executioner.

The Mukden Incident was actually secretly planned and led by two of Rihachiro Sakanishi's students, Kenji Doiyama and Seishiro Itagaki.

After returning to Japan in his old age, he joined the Ministry of Home Affairs of Japan.

The man in front of me, Tanaka Tsujin, can actually be considered a grand-disciple of Sakanishi Rihachiro.

Of course, these are all digressions.

What truly puzzled Ye Shaohong was that the Japanese, after decades of development, clearly had a mature intelligence system and ample radio equipment.

Why would they choose such an ancient method of rendezvous?

Also, who was the person who was going to meet with Tanaka Tsujin?

Having thought of this problem, Ye Shaohong quickly asked Tanaka Tsujin about the time, place, and code for the rendezvous. Tanaka Tsujin hesitated when this crucial question was raised.

Seeing this, Ye Shaohong's face immediately darkened. He glanced at Li Yunlong, who immediately gritted his teeth and stepped forward.

"Still hesitating!"

"I think you don't want to live anymore. Fine, I'll grant your wish."

As he spoke, Li Yunlong made a move to continue attacking Tanaka Tsujin, which terrified Tanaka Tsujin.

Let’s go to the outside world.

Then, no longer daring to struggle or resist, she directly revealed the time, place, method, and code for the planned rendezvous.

To ensure the accuracy of the information, Ye Shaohong was extremely cautious, asking the same questions several times, interjecting with other questions and then suddenly bringing the topic back.

This was to prevent Tanaka Tsujin from having time to think or consider.

Finally, he was able to confirm that Tanaka Tsujin had not hidden or deceived him about this matter.

He finally obtained the crucial intelligence information.

After organizing the intelligence statements, Ye Shaohong looked at Tanaka Tsujin, who had collapsed, and finally had someone fetch a doctor to treat his injuries.

This man's identity is nothing special, but his mission in Jinling is very important, and Ye Shaohong cannot let him die for the time being.

After Tanaka Tsujin was taken away by the field agents of the Operations Section, Ye Shaohong carefully reviewed the interrogation process again before picking up the statement transcript and leaving the underground cell.

He went straight to Xu Baichuan's office.

Next, based on the contact information we just received, we need to plan and arrange the arrest operation.

Hopefully, nothing unexpected will happen this time.
