Chapter 132 Intelligence Broker
Xiang Chu simply went to the office of the head of the interrogation department and knocked on the door.
When Zhang Changsheng saw that it was him, he stood up excitedly.
He was filled with emotion, and said rapidly, "Oh! Brother Xiang, I was right to listen to you. Unfortunately, the amount I sent was too little, and the director only asked me to take over first, saying that he would make me the official after I interrogate a few more Japanese spies and make greater achievements. You must quickly catch a few Japanese spies and traitors for me."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "A big fish will be caught soon. Let's go down and wait."
"what?!"
Zhang Changsheng looked at him in disbelief.
"It seems you still don't believe it."
Xiang Chu smiled and turned to walk out of the room.
"Believe! Brother, don't you trust me?"
Zhang Changsheng hurriedly followed him out, shouting loudly,
"Batian! Take the brothers to the interrogation room."
"Yes!"
Wang Batian rushed out of his office excitedly.
He saw Xiang Chu and said with a smile:
"Hello, Team Leader Xiang! Thank you for letting me show up in the officers' mess. Now I have been promoted to second lieutenant."
Xiang Chu took a look and saw a star on his shoulder, completing his life transformation from non-commissioned officer to officer.
I couldn't help but praise him: "Not bad, Batian! You are really a great man."
"I found that it is absolutely right to follow the section chief and work with you, and take the lead."
Wang Batian said happily, leading several interrogators and running down the stairs excitedly.
Xiang Chu and Zhang Changsheng walked to the door of the interrogation department building and waited while chatting.
Soon, Liu Zhengxiong and others drove over.
Two members of the operation team got out of the car carrying a young man who was tied up.
Xiang Chu ordered: "Take him to the highest-level interrogation room."
"Yes!"
The two members of the action team hurriedly received the order.
Zhang Changsheng was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He said, "Brother Xiang! There is no such thing as the most advanced interrogation room, only the one with the most complete torture instruments. I will go down and set it up first, and you can come over later."
"Okay! You go ahead and do your work."
Xiang Chu smiled and praised Liu Zhengxiong when he saw him get off the car.
"Well done, Deputy Team Leader Liu, great job!"
Liu Zhengxiong asked in confusion: "What is acting deputy team leader? Who appointed him?"
Xiang Chu said shamelessly: "Me! I am the team leader now."
"Is this true? He's even promoted to captain, that's great. Haha!"
Liu Zhengxiong was overjoyed and laughed out loud, even happier than if he had been promoted himself.
"Let's go! Go down and meet this Japanese spy."
Xiang Chu said seriously, walking and talking,
"You will be transferred to my team as the acting deputy leader of Group 3. The credit for capturing the Japanese spy this time belongs to you, so it shouldn't be a problem to get promoted to the regular leader."
"Yes!"
Liu Zhengxiong was extremely excited.
He had remained in the captain's position, but he did not expect that once Xiang Chu arrived, his position would rise with him.
A large interrogation room was set up, with almost all the torture instruments available, even an oil pan.
Xiang Chu laughed and said, "Batian! It seems that you have also learned the skill of frying."
Wang Batian complimented, "I think the team leader is the best at interrogation. Once the frying pan is on, everything will be fine."
After saying this, he dragged the tied-up man to the boiling oil pan and shouted:
"Tell the truth, or you'll be frying in oil."
After saying this, he fried a few dough sticks and showed them to the man.
The man was so frightened that his face turned pale and he said in a trembling voice:
"I'll tell you! I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything."
Xiang Chu shouted: "Name! Code name!"
The man said timidly: "Sir! My name is Fengsheng! I don't have a code name, I'm an intelligence broker."
"Intelligence broker?"
Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect that they could catch such a person.
Xiang Chu nodded and continued to ask: "What kind of information did Lin Haifeng and Nong Ruhu provide you?"
Feng Sheng was extremely surprised when he heard this and said, "Sir! Did you know that Lin Haifeng and Nong Ruhu were Japanese spies?"
Xiang Chu scolded, "Nonsense! Don't you know we can catch you? You are just doing business, not a Japanese spy. If you can tell me everything you know without reservation, I will guarantee your life."
Feng Sheng heard this and no longer had any hope. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Thank you, sir! My hometown is in the Northeast, and my family is controlled by Japanese spies. I came to Nanjing three years ago and opened a 'Little Guandong' fur store at No. 3 Beijing West Road.
About a year ago, a Japanese spy found me and paid me to find an officer to defect. If I didn’t do it, he would kill my family. I really had no choice.
Xiang Chu said coldly: "You claim to be an intelligence broker. For the sake of money, I'm afraid you don't care about your family's lives! Tell me, what is the name of that Japanese spy?"
Feng Sheng was startled and said quickly, "Yes! I did it mainly for the money. The man said his name was Zhang Yang, but he didn't say his Japanese name."
Xiang Chu picked up a piece of paper and a pen and instructed, "Describe his appearance in detail."
Fengsheng: "He has a round face with a lot of fat on it..."
Xiang Chu drew while listening to his description, and when he finished describing, he had also finished the painting.
He held up the drawing paper and asked, "Is this the person?"
Fengsheng nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes! It's this person. Oh, and he has a mole under his right eye."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Really? That's great! Go on, tell me how you will give him the information you got and how he will give you money."
Feng Sheng: "After I receive the information, I will put it into a mailbox at No. 33 Xiangyang Road. Then, I will go to that mailbox to collect the information fee the next day. Oh, by the way! He also gave me a key to that mailbox."
"No. 33 Xiangyang Road?"
Everyone who knew the situation was shocked, because this was the exact location that Saburo Takeda had given out as his supervisor last time.
"This man's name is Ichiro Itamoto!"
Xiang Chu said coldly, and drew a mole under the right eye of the portrait.
He felt that Saburo Takeda did not tell the whole truth last time, and Ichiro Itamoto did not live at No. 33 Xiangyang Road.
But what is certain is that Ichiro Itamoto was destined to go to the mailbox at No. 33 Xiangyang Road frequently to get information.
Xiang Chu continued to ask: "Where is the key?"
Fengsheng looked down at his left shoe.
Wang Batian immediately stepped forward, took off his left shoe, took out the key from under the insole and placed it in front of Xiang Chu.
Xiang Chu looked at the key and asked, "Lin Haifeng is not short of money, how did you persuade him to rebel?"
Feng Sheng shook his head and said, "I was the only one who instigated Nong Ruhu to defect. I didn't instigate Lin Haifeng. The Japanese only asked me to deliver the information given by Lin Haifeng to the mailbox at No. 33 Xiangyang Road."
"It seems that Lin Haifeng was instigated by Ichiro Banmoto or his Japanese spies."
Xiang Chu pondered inwardly, paused, and asked doubtfully,
"You can deliver the information to the mailbox at No. 33 Xiangyang Road, and withdraw the money later. Any time is fine?"
"Anything works!"
Fengsheng nodded.
Liu Zhengxiong interrupted, "It seems that this Ichiro Itamoto is a postman, and he is in charge of that area."
Xiang Chu handed him the portrait and the key and said with a smile, "Deputy Team Leader Liu! Since you guessed it correctly, take people to catch him."
"Yes!"
Liu Zhengxiong hurriedly took the order and rushed out of the interrogation room.
Zhang Changsheng smiled and said, "Brother Xiang! You take a break. I will ask this intelligence broker?"
"Okay! Go ahead and ask. I'll go upstairs to get some fresh air."
Xiang Chu nodded, knowing that he couldn't get any more information out of him, and stood up and walked out of the interrogation room.
He walked out of the interrogation department door, and the lunch bell rang. He immediately ordered:
"Lu Xiong! Sun Ji! You two go have dinner. Lin Mao! Drive my jeep here and take me to your brother's store."
"Yes!"
Zhang Linmao hurriedly accepted the order.
Needless to say, Fengsheng, the intelligence broker, must be extremely wealthy.
Xiang Chu wanted to get ahead of everyone else and go to the "Xiao Guandong" fur store at No. 22 Beijing West Road to collect money, deposit it into the account, and hand it over to the organization.
