Chapter 13: Capturing a Japanese Spy
This assassination was not an isolated case, as gunshots were also heard elsewhere.
And the slogans "We must first stabilize the country before we can resist foreign aggression, long live the Chairman."
Needless to say, this was the Japanese trying to create panic.
At the same time, they framed the Chairman and paved the way for a full-scale invasion of China.
The chaotic streets hindered those who were escaping and those who were chasing.
Xiang Chu moved among the crowd, biting the "duckbill cap" tightly all the time.
Anyone he targeted had never been able to escape without external obstruction.
Others would chase without stopping, but Xiang Chu would carefully hide himself and follow quietly after locking onto the target.
The man in the baseball cap ran for a while, looked back nervously, but found that no one was following him.
He slipped into a clothing store, changed into a gray robe, and replaced his "duckbill cap" with a top hat. At first glance, he looked like a scholar.
However, Xiang Chu had already locked onto his body shape, posture, height, and stride. Moreover, his clothes did not fit him well and did not reveal the demeanor of a scholar.
Xiang Chu followed him closely, but it was getting darker and darker. If he met up with his accomplices and was attacked from both sides, he would be the one to suffer.
When the man walked into an alley, Xiang Chu caught up with him like the wind and shouted in a very standard Tokyo accent:
"Hey! Ono-kun."
The man was shocked, as if he was on the streets of Tokyo. He quickly stopped and turned around, and instinctively responded in Japanese:
"I think you have mistaken me."
Xiang Chu could conclude that this man must be a Japanese spy.
"Could it be that you are Mr. Matsushita?"
Xiang Chu wanted to catch him alive, so he pretended to want to see more clearly and continued to approach him.
The Japanese spy sensed danger and reached into his arms to pull out his pistol.
"Whoosh!" There was a sound.
A snow-white willow-leaf flying knife flew out and pierced the arm of the Japanese spy holding the gun.
"what!"
The Japanese spy let out a scream and turned to flee.
Xiang Chu quickly caught up with him and slapped him on the back of the neck, causing him to faint.
It was easy to get! Just like that, a Japanese spy was caught.
Xiang Chu first took back the willow-leaf flying knife, collected the Japanese spy's pistol, and then pocketed all the large and small French francs and silver dollars on the Japanese spy.
If he doesn't take the money, the operations and interrogation personnel in the department will take it away.
The spoils went neatly into their own pockets, and there was no concept of the Red Army returning the spoils to the public.
The total amount was close to 500 French francs, which was equivalent to his four months' salary and was considered a good income.
After experiencing the fact that he had no money to donate during the day, Xiang Chu felt that since the military academy didn’t spend much money now, he should still keep some money on him.
Next, Xiang Chu carefully examined the Japanese spy and soon discovered a bag of highly toxic potassium cyanide powder sewn on his collar.
There was also a denture filled with potassium cyanide, which could cause immediate death if bitten open.
"This Japanese agent is a little special!"
Xiang Chu secretly praised in his heart, and hurriedly took them all down and hid them, thinking that they would come in handy in the future.
Then, he put the backpack over the spy's head, pulled off the straps of the backpack to tie him up tightly, and dragged him to a telephone booth on the street.
Insert a coin and call the Military Intelligence Department's duty room.
It was Liu Zhengxiong who answered the phone. As soon as he heard Xiang Chu, he habitually scolded him:
"You little brat! What are you doing so late at night? You're disturbing my shift."
Xiang Chu glanced around and said with a smile: "Captain Liu! I caught a Japanese spy here at Dachang Rice Shop. He is now in the telephone booth outside the rice shop. Please send a car over quickly."
"What? I'll be right there."
Liu Zhengxiong dropped the phone and ran away.
Xiang Chu waited for about twenty minutes, and Liu Zhengxiong arrived with his men.
After getting the Japanese spy into the car, Liu Zhengxiong punched Xiang Chu hard and said happily:
"You are really good, how did you catch this Japanese spy?"
"This guy killed someone in the street and shouted slogans to slander the chairman. I happened to see him. I'm handing him over to you now. I have something else to do. See you later."
Xiang Chu smiled, thinking about passing on the information about the spies lurking in the headquarters, and turned to leave.
But Liu Zhengxiong grabbed him and scolded him:
"How come you don't understand anything? You usually have to interrogate the people you arrest. Even if you don't interrogate them, you still have to go back to the office and tell those evil spirits in the interrogation department what happened."
"The person who arrests you has become your prisoner."
Xiang Chu was speechless and had to get in the car with him.
Liu Zhengxiong put his arm around his shoulders and said affectionately, "Boy! I am the captain of the first team of the first operation team of the Operations Division.
If you come to my Action Team 1, I promise to make you a squad leader."
The Military Intelligence Department also implements the three-three system. The Operations Department and Intelligence Department under the department are divided into three groups, each group is divided into three teams, and each team is divided into three sub-teams.
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Captain! You know, I have no say in this matter."
Liu Zhengxiong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry! Our section chief has asked the director to recommend you. I think you will be able to go to the Operations Department soon. I will be the first one to rush to get you."
"Thank you, Captain!"
Xiang Chu said hurriedly.
After returning to the office, the Japanese spy was taken directly to the underground interrogation room.
As the on-duty officer, Liu Zhengxiong called the director directly.
When the director heard this, he was so excited that he almost jumped up and immediately ordered:
"The interrogation department will conduct interrogations overnight to find out the accomplices and arrest them all. Tell them not to slack off. I will be there in the evening."
"Yes!"
Liu Zhengxiong hurriedly accepted the order.
He hurriedly pulled Xiang Chu along and headed straight to the interrogation department, specifically instructing:
"Xiao Xiang! Those methods used by the interrogation department are unbearable for anyone to watch. As a new cadet in the Intelligence Department, if you can't stand it, just close your eyes and cover your ears. No one will laugh at you."
"I'm not afraid of being laughed at."
Xiang Chu smiled, feeling a little appreciative.
"Um?!"
Liu Zhengxiong rolled his eyes at him and said angrily,
"You can do it! I'll ask the interrogation department to use some bloody methods on the Japanese spy, I guarantee you'll be scared to death. Oh, and call your three classmates to experience it together. Haha!"
