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

Chapter Ninety-Six: New Clues

Has Ye Shaohong already seen through this person?

Actually not.

Ye Shaohong is not a god; he does not have the ability to see through everything in the world, nor can he use reasoning and speculation to determine the truth of things.

Therefore, he had to find another way.

First, they forcefully and violently forced Li Yunlong to pry out the other party's teeth, and then they used words to coax and deceive him.

Using a combination of truth and fiction, reasoning and reality, he selectively recounts parts of the facts he has guessed and grasped, thereby breaking down the enemy's psychological defenses.

Ye Shaohong simply didn't reveal these methods and schemes. By not telling others, he left the impression of being unfathomable, as if he had already taken control of everything.

This is what Li Yunlong and Zhuang Yifan thought.

Yu Manli witnessed everything firsthand. When she looked at Ye Shaohong, stars appeared in the depths of her eyes, and a sense of admiration for Ye Shaohong unconsciously arose in her heart.

And what about the Japanese spies on the torture rack?

He's gone mad.

When I looked at Ye Shaohong again, seeing his youthful face and the smile that was always on his lips, a chill suddenly rose in my heart.

"you……."

"Are you the devil?"

Hearing his mutterings, Ye Shaohong ignored them and simply gave a cold groan.

He sat back down in the interrogation seat, next to Yu Manli. Yu Manli had developed a slight admiration for Ye Shaohong by this time. Seeing Ye Shaohong return, she quickly picked up the tea in front of her and handed it to him.

Ye Shaohong didn't stand on ceremony, took the bottle and sipped it gently before looking up at Li Yunlong again.

"What are you doing?"

"Did I tell you to stop? Keep going."

"If he doesn't confess, pry all his teeth out!"

"Even if it's a wisdom tooth, you can't leave it for him!"

Ye Shaohong's words were so harsh that Li Yunlong and Zhuang Yifan couldn't help but shudder, while the Japanese spy on the torture rack almost fainted from fright.

"I'm looking for...".

"What are you looking for, Mom? You can't even speak properly, slap him!"

The Japanese spy's upper and lower front teeth had been pried out by Li Yunlong with a dagger, causing him to speak with a lisp, which sounded rather strange.

Ye Shaohong wasn't stupid; he could certainly figure out what the Japanese spy was saying.

But so what? He was just pretending to be stupid.

He wanted to imprint his image as a clever yet tyrannical persona firmly in the mind of this Japanese spy, so that even if the spy were asleep and dreamed of him, he would be terrified and wet himself.

Overall, Ye Shaohong's expectations were realized.

Upon hearing his angry roar, before Li Yunlong could even step forward and slap him, the Japanese spy on the torture rack was terrified.

"I... confess!"

This time, the Japanese soldier had learned his lesson. He knew that he couldn't speak clearly and would have difficulty expressing his intentions in detail, so he gritted his teeth and squeezed out those two words bit by bit.

Finally, he spoke clearly and articulated his thoughts. "So you confessed already?"

"Boring!"

Ye Shaohong pursed his lips. Although all of this was within his plan, he still appeared somewhat uninterested on the surface.

It's like missing out on a beloved toy.

This scene, witnessed by Li Yunlong and Zhuang Yifan, sent chills down their spines. They dared not look at Ye Shaohong any longer and could only silently turn their heads away.

Yu Manli, standing to the side, was not afraid of any of this.

Don't let her young age fool you; she's a girl, but she's got quite a few lives on her hands.

The more ruthless Ye Shaohong acted, the more it suited her wishes.

Yu Manli had even begun to consider whether she should follow Ye Shaohong after the case was over and she gained the freedom she had always dreamed of.

Of course, Ye Shaohong was unaware of what Li Yunlong, Zhuang Yifan, and Yu Manli were thinking.

Even if he heard what the three of them were thinking, Ye Shaohong wouldn't care.

He has now picked up his pen and paper again and is looking at the Japanese spy on the rack.

"You want to confess, huh?"

"Row!"

"I'm giving you this chance, but you better remember this: be honest and don't let me realize you're lying to me. I'm not a patient person, and I don't have time to waste on idle chatter with you!"

"Name, place of origin, position, time you infiltrated Jinling, mission you were assigned..."

With the foreplay already laid out, it was time to reap the rewards. Ye Shaohong, of course, did not hesitate or waver. Taking advantage of the moment when the Japanese spy lost his composure, he immediately threw out his question.

"Yamaguchi Jiro, a native of Gojo City, Nara Prefecture. My position is Captain of the Special Higher Police Intelligence Division in Bingcheng City, Manchuria. The time I infiltrated Nanjing..."

The situation that Yamaguchi Jiro confessed was roughly what Ye Shaohong had expected.

He was indeed a Japanese spy for the Special Higher Police. Moreover, he was a spy directly under the Special Higher Police headquarters, which was directly controlled by Kenji Doihara.

Unlike Nanzo Yunko and Yano Seihei, Yamaguchi Jiro was not a student of Doi Madoka Kanji; he was just an ordinary officer at the Special Higher Police Headquarters.

As for the time when Yamaguchi Jiro infiltrated Nanjing, it was two years earlier than Ye Shaohong had predicted.

As early as the beginning of 1932, the year the Special Service Department was just established, Yamaguchi Jiro had already accepted Doi Madoka Kanji's assignment to infiltrate Nanjing by impersonating Chen Ou through a method of "borrowing a corpse to return to life".

His only mission was to go infiltrate and remain on standby, ready to be awakened at any time to deal with any emergencies. Hearing this, Ye Shaohong frowned slightly.

To be honest, he was very disappointed with the result.

He originally thought that he could use Yamaguchi Jiro to uncover more Japanese spies.

Now it seems that Jiro Yamaguchi was just a lone wolf.

He's more like a firefighter.

Arranged by Doiyuu Kenji to be stationed in Nanjing, he was placed as a backup plan. For the Special Higher Police and Doiyuu Kenji, his only purpose was to fill in any unforeseen circumstances in Nanjing.

Such a person wouldn't be valued by Doiyuu Kenji, and he probably doesn't possess any confidential information.

Thinking of this, Ye Shaohong put down his pen and paper, raised his head, and stared intently at Yamaguchi Jiro, trying to discern some changes in his emotions from his face.

The result disappointed Ye Shaohong. Yamaguchi Jiro probably hadn't lied to him; the information he provided was all true.

"Tell me about the missions you've carried out in the past."

"Don't try to hide it from me. You're a seasoned spy, so you should know very well that with your current position and the tasks you're assigned, your value to our intelligence agency is already very low."

"If you want to save your life, you'll need to come up with something that will truly impress me!"

Ye Shaohong wasn't just trying to scare Yamaguchi Jiro. According to the usual practices of the Special Service, even surrendered Japanese spies would only face death if they had no further use.

The Secret Service doesn't care whether you defect or not; value is everything.

Jiro Yamaguchi understood this principle as well. He was also an intelligence worker and knew the methods and rules of the intelligence department very well. After hearing Ye Shaohong's words, Jiro Yamaguchi immediately began to think hard.

A moment later, he suddenly looked up and gazed at Ye Shaohong with anticipation.

"I've thought of something."

"This matter may seem ordinary, but if you investigate it further, you might be able to uncover a group of spies."

"I can tell you everything, just please spare my life!"
