Legations and embassies are both special buildings.
It's a bit more troublesome to deal with.
However, Xin Zhiye's identity as a spy has been confirmed, and he has been lurking in the embassy for a long time.
The other party also wants to interrogate him and find out.
Finally, after many negotiations, a consensus was reached.
Two people were dispatched by the intelligence agency to enter the legation, but they could not act alone and needed to be accompanied by legation personnel throughout the process.
This is already a concession.
The national government agreed.
The two natural choices are Zhu Yue and Song Shutang.
As for Kamikochi Akiko, she wanted to go, but it was impossible to get such an opportunity.
Today is the appointed time. Zhu Yue and Song Shutang made preparations early and rushed to Eling.
It would be a pity to miss the opportunity obtained through hard-fought negotiations.
On the way to Eling, Zhu Yue said, "Section Chief Cao has already met Xin Zhiye."
"Isn't it useful?"
"It's really useless."
"It seems that Xin Zhiye is now determined to take revenge, and nothing can make him sway."
"This kind of bigotry is difficult to change."
"What are the consequences of torture?" Song Shutang asked.
During the previous meeting to discuss, Shen Lushui said that he would tell Xin Zhiye the clues he had investigated if he still persisted in his persistence.
Just use torture to see what happens.
"Chief Cao personally supervised the torture, but the effect was not good," Zhu Yue said.
"If you're not sure about the spy, it's better to speak up." Song Shutang sighed.
Xin Zhiye’s situation is special.
It's really not as easy to deal with as a spy.
While the two were chatting, they also drove to Eling. They were here for business today, so naturally they applied for a vehicle.
Come to the gate and identify yourself.
Soon I saw Deboron coming out to greet him.
When he saw the two of them, Deboron let them in and said, "The two team leaders came very early."
"Act as ordered and dare not delay."
"What Team Leader Zhu said is absolutely true."
"Agent Dai is in high spirits on happy occasions," Song Shutang said with a smile.
Deboron is now the charge d'affaires in the legation.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be his turn to greet him.
As for Spacey.
Arrangements have been made to return home.
It's just that I haven't set off yet.
But inside the embassy, it was no longer Spaxi who had the final say.
Spaxi himself did not want to be bored, so he simply moved out of the legation and is now waiting in the city for a few days before setting off to return home.
It's not like you'll be happy when you go back.
Instead, it faces investigation and blame.
Deboron has achieved his goal, how can he not be happy?
Facing Song Shutang's words, Dai Bolun whispered: "Thank you both very much."
When the two found him, he decided to take a gamble.
Now it seems to be completely the right decision.
"You don't have to say thank you, the agent. We each got what we needed. But now that the agent has come to a perfect conclusion, our investigation has reached a deadlock." Song Shutang said as the three of them walked inside.
"I heard that Xin Zhiye is very tough-mouthed."
"right."
"You, the Military Command Bureau, can't pry it open?" Living in the mountain town of Diabolun, we have heard of the Military Command Bureau's methods, and there are not many people who can hold on.
However, Xin Zhiye's matter involved a national scandal.
Naturally, he would not explain it to Deboron.
It’s just that Xin Zhiye is tough-talking.
Song Shutang changed the subject and asked: "Didn't the agent find anything in the previous search?"
Deboron didn't feel any embarrassment when it was revealed that he had conducted a search before.
He smiled and said, "I'm not a professional after all, so I still need you to search."
Enter the office building.
Deboron asked: "Where to search first?"
"Let's go see Xin Zhiye's residence first," Song Shutang said.
It's said to be an office building.
But he also has the responsibility of the dormitory.
Arriving at the room where Xin Zhiye lived before, Dai Bolan took out the key from his arms and said: "I locked the door after what happened that day, and the other person in the room also arranged to go to another dormitory to rest. The things in the house were basically
It hasn’t been moved.”
He arranged for a search.
But nothing was found, and indeed nothing in the house was moved.
Entering Song Shutang's room, Zhu Yue began to work.
Neither of them talked nonsense.
Deboron stood at the door waiting.
The dormitory is not big so it is not difficult to search.
They didn't even let go of anything that wasn't Xin Zhiye's.
After a search, nothing was found.
It was similar to what the two people had speculated before.
Xin Zhiye has received professional training from the Japanese, and it is impossible for him to show his flaws in such an obvious place.
"Go to the work station and have a look." Zhu Yue said to Dai BoLun.
Disappointed, Deboron closed the door and took the two of them to where Xin Zhiye worked.
However, a search at the work place also yielded no results.
Both of them were helpless.
You told Xin Zhiye about the clues he had investigated, but they didn't listen.
They won't be afraid if you torture them.
The search found nothing.
How should we investigate this next?
The clue seems to have been broken again.
The reward is just catching a spy.
There is still no clue about Miki Kouta's case, but news comes from Shanghai that several traitor leaders are in contact with each other more frequently.
The Japanese lobbying may be about to succeed.
The Military Command Bureau was naturally anxious.
Seeing that there was no gain, Deboron said to the two of them: "Go to my office and have a cup of coffee."
Arrive at Deboron's office, which was previously Spacey's office.
He moved really fast.
Freshly ground coffee.
Deboron's method of brewing coffee is quite good.
Although Song Shutang doesn't like drinking coffee, it seems to be quite fragrant.
Zhu Yue picked it up and took a sip.
In fact, I can't taste anything, I just feel bitter.
He still prefers tea.
Song Shutang also picked it up and tasted it at the invitation of Deboran. It was indeed good.
But he couldn't say he liked it.
Just taste it and stop.
"Didn't you find it?" Deboron asked.
"yes."
"Japanese spies are really well hidden."
"The agent and Xin Zhiye have been working together for so long, do you find anything strange?" Zhu Yue asked.
"I've been thinking about it these past few days, but there's nothing strange or suspicious about it."
"Isn't there anything suspicious at all?"
"Indeed not, and he rarely leaves the embassy."
"Very few?" Song Shutang caught these two words.
"Yes, you have been monitoring him for a while. He really doesn't leave much," said Deboron.
monitoring during this period.
It is true that Xin Zhiye rarely left the embassy.
But you said that Xin Zhiye rarely left the embassy after moving to Chongqing to Shancheng. Song Shutang thinks it is wrong.
After all, work is now on track. For safety reasons, Xin Zhiye rarely leaves the embassy without any work. Everyone can understand.
But when I first came to Shancheng.
That's very messy.
Many institutions have moved to Chongqing.
At that time, the Japanese must have needed a lot of information about Yamashiro.
Even after arriving in the mountain city, how Xin Zhiye wants to contact the Japanese requires contact.
Moreover, during the chaotic period when people, agencies and other companies move to Chongqing, it is also the best time for Japanese espionage teams to sneak into mountain cities.
It's impossible for Xin Zhiye to hide in the embassy all the time, right?
Song Shutang immediately raised his doubts.
Zhu Yue also thought it made sense.
But Deboron still insisted: "He really rarely leaves, and the work he is responsible for does not require leaving the embassy. Sometimes I will not take him with me when I go out for meetings and events."
"Didn't you leave the embassy some time ago?"
"No."
strangeness!
Kamikochi Akiko said that Shinshiye was most likely responsible for the preparations for Miki Kouta and others to lurk in the mountain castle.
He didn't even leave the embassy, how could he be responsible?
Besides, Xin Zhiye was first responsible for investigating Masada Kazuya, so it was not that he could not leave the embassy.
In short, Diabolun's words made Song Shutang suspicious.
"Is it possible that Xin Zhiye can contact the people above without leaving the embassy?" Zhu Yue put forward a hypothesis.
This is the only hypothesis that can explain it.
"Radio station?" Deboron said immediately.
There is a radio station in the embassy.
But the radio station cannot contact them directly in China.
The distance is too far and the power is not enough.
Therefore, transit is required, and the transit is handled by their own people abroad, not in their country, nor in China.
It's just that their radio station is on record.
It's a legal radio station.
If Xin Zhiye did not leave the embassy, he would be able to contact the Japanese.
Well, apart from the radio station, Deboron couldn't think of the second possibility.
"Don't you have someone to guard your radio station?" Zhu Yue asked.
"There is a dedicated person in charge, but after all, there is not much contact with the country. There are two prescribed contact times a month. Except for these two time points, the door of the communication room is basically locked." Dai Bolan said.
Then it is indeed possible for Xin Zhiye to enter the communications room and use the radio to send messages.
After all, he contacted the Japanese spies.
The distance is not as far as a cross country.
"Has no one noticed that the communication room has been entered?" Song Shutang also asked.
After all, if Xin Zhiye really used the radio station in the embassy, then it was definitely not a one-time report.
But it took many reports.
I even received it.
So if this happens too many times, no one will notice?
"I've never heard of anyone saying that," Deboron said.
"Who is in charge of the communications room?"
"Want to meet?"
"Call."
Deboron quickly called the person in charge of the communications room.
People were brought here.
They are from their country.
A woman about thirty years old.
My Chinese is even a little shaky.
But she doesn't need to use it normally. She doesn't even need to use Chinese to send or receive telegrams.
So now Zhu Yue is asking, and Deboron is responsible for translating.
The question asked was whether she felt that someone had entered the communication room.
But the woman shook her head no.
Zhu Yue persisted in asking for various details, and the woman replied that she did not think anyone had entered the communication room.
Wait until the woman leaves.
Song Shutang said: "According to Xin Zhiye's ability, even if she enters the communication room, she will not be discovered. Besides, she may enter twice a month, once every half month, and the contents inside will not matter if there is an interval of more than ten days.
She has really moved her position, and she may not even know it."
"So you really used the radio station in the legation?" Zhu Yue asked.
Song Shutang thinks it is possible.
After all, the radio station inside the legation will not be censored.
The second thing is that this embassy has the right time, place and people.
There is no one in the communication room.
Isn't this the best opportunity for Xin Zhiye?
"Now it can be explained why he rarely leaves the legation." Deboron felt that he had made an important discovery.
However, Song Shutang raised a question: "He can use the radio to communicate with the Japanese and does not have to leave the embassy. But if he has to make preliminary preparations, doesn't he also need to leave the embassy?"
"The preliminary preparations for the spy team are just the speculation of Akiko Kamiguchi. Maybe Xin Zhiye is not responsible for these at all. He may have nothing to do with Miki Kouta's spy team at all?" Zhu Yue proposed this.
Suspect.
That makes sense.
But Song Shutang felt that what Kamikochi Akiko said in such a situation must have a certain degree of credibility.
And even if Xin Zhiye is not responsible for Miki Kouta.
Are you not in charge of other spy teams?
Masada and Kazuya are both responsible.
Don't talk about Xin Zhiye.
What information can you get while you are in the embassy?
Maybe your identity is an excellent cover.
The Japanese can assign tasks to you, and you assign them to other spy groups.
Or maybe other spies have any information.
It can be sent safely through Xin Zhiye.
But these always require contact with people, right?
How can you obtain information without contact, and how can you use the radio to transmit it?
Can't Xin Zhiye's job be to lurk in the embassy and do nothing?
This is obviously impossible.
"Where is the communication room?" Zhu Yue asked.
"You want to go see it?" Deboron hesitated.
After all, there are still some documents in the communication room.
"We can't understand it either." Song Shutang said.
They really couldn't understand those words.
Deboron smiled when he heard this and said, "It's not a question of whether you understand or not."
"We are just looking at the door lock of the communication room." Zhu Yue said.
They didn't want to go in and check.
After all, they don't know what the communications room looked like before. Even if you go in and take a look, you won't be able to tell any clues.
I want to see the door lock.
Are there any signs of being tampered with?
You now say that Xin Zhiye transmits and receives information through the radio station in the embassy. You need to verify this.
This is also very important.
After all, there are many embassies and embassies in the mountain city.
Basically there are radio stations.
If used by Japanese spies.
How much convenience does this provide to Japanese spies?
Once confirmed, it will sound a warning to everyone.
At the same time, the Military Command Bureau must also begin to strengthen monitoring and management of these so-called legal radio stations.
Come to the communications room.
The two checked the door lock carefully, and Zhu Yue said: "There are no signs of prying."
"So it's not using the radio?" Deboron didn't believe it.
Song Shutang said: "Xin Zhiye doesn't use it once, but if he wants to use it many times, he can't pry the door lock every time. It is inevitable that he will be discovered after a long time. Check his key."
For Xin Zhiye, a key is secretly provided.
It is the safest.
They just found several keys in Xin Zhiye's room.
Deboron went to get it immediately.
But none of these keys can open the door.
Zhu Yue said: "When we arrested Xin Zhiye and searched him before, we also found a bunch of keys. They are in the intelligence section. Can you bring them over and try them?"
"Go to my office and call." Deboron said.
Call the Intelligence Department and ask Long Hao to send the key.
Long Hao arrived soon.
I tried again and found that there was indeed a key that could open the door.
Moreover, the joint with a tooth mark on this key is worn very thin and can be broken if you press hard with your fingers.
In other words, Xin Zhiye can make the key unable to open the communication room door at any time.
To prevent being discovered.
And it’s very safe to carry with you, so you don’t have to worry about being noticed.
Xin Zhiye has the key to the communication room, which can already explain a lot of problems.
But you still can't make Xin Zhiye speak.
Just as a few people were about to leave the door of the communication room and go back to Deboron's office, Song Shutang took a look at the scenery outside the corridor window.
He asked subconsciously: "Are we above your office?"
"Yes." Deboron said.
Because the layout of the rooms upstairs and downstairs is different.
But the correspondence between the upper and lower parts is just right. The communication room is above Deboron's office.
So that means it was above Spacey's office.
If you put it this way, Song Shutang suddenly remembered that flash of light.
