On May 23, 1939, Matsushita Kiichi went to the headquarters as usual. Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that the man he contacted had been arrested.
"Good morning, Matsushita-kun."
"Morning." Matsushita replied. He felt much more relaxed after he sent the information last night. Because he was sure that no one knew about him and no one knew that he had sent the information.
…
Nanchang
Zhou Weiguo naturally knew that the Japanese set out for Wuhan with their troops at 7 o'clock last night. According to the time and calculation, it would be almost the morning.
"Brother, although I don't know the specific time when the Japanese passed by Jiujiang this time, you can make one more trip around Jiujiang and let the brothers go around in batches at different times." Zhou Weiguo said, "It's also possible.
At this point, the Japanese have not yet reached Jiujiang."
"Okay." Zhu Ziming nodded, "Just keep an eye on it, I'm sure to stop the Japanese in the middle."
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "Pay attention to your own safety too."
…
About half an hour later, more than 30 planes took off from Nanchang Airport.
…
Shanghai
Matsushita was about to take the document to Shunroku Hata to sign when he heard a voice inside.
"Yoshi, Sanbonmatsu, you did a good job this time." Shunroku Hata praised Sanbonmatsu very happily.
"It's all the result of everyone's cooperation." Sanbonmatsu said randomly.
"Then let's pry open that Chinese man's mouth first," Hata Shunroku said.
"Most Chinese people have very hard bones. This man spent the whole night after being captured yesterday, but he still refused to say anything." Sanbonmatsu said with a bitter smile.
Panasonic didn't hear the content clearly. He only knew that they arrested someone. Then he knocked on the door.
"Come in."
"Your Majesty Commander, these are the documents you need to sign."
"I understand, let's leave it alone for now."
"Hi."
Then Matsushita Kiichi exited Shunroku Hata's office.
He was originally in a good mood, but now he felt a little heavy. He did not expect that the bookstore owner Zhao was actually arrested. He had to inform the teahouse about this matter as soon as possible, otherwise, he could not bet on the outcome.
…
In a dark room
A man whose skin was beaten to pieces said weakly, "I don't know."
"Still don't know?" the Japanese commander said calmly, "Come here, keep fighting."
"Hi."
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
The sound of the whip hitting the flesh was particularly loud. When they went to catch him yesterday, they happened to see him packing up the radio.
"Don't tell me!"
"I really don't know." Lao Zhao's voice sounded unjust and innocent. He naturally didn't want to be beaten, but he really couldn't answer the Japanese army's questions.
"Since you don't know the question just now, let's change it." Sanbonsong smiled and said, "Don't fight yet."
"Hi."
"go ahead."
"Who do you usually interact with?"
"The owner of the spring teahouse."
"teahouse?"
"Um."
Sanbonmatsu was also nervous. If he was the owner of the teahouse, then Matsushita Muichi would be a big suspect. He was the person in the entire command who went to the teahouse the most.
"You are responsible for what you say!"
"I know! Of course I know!" Lao Zhao yelled crazily, "From last night to now, you have been beating me for more than 10 hours. I don't want to die! I think I am going to die! Find a doctor to treat me quickly.
hurt!"
"Yoshi, come here, take him to treatment."
"Hi!"
…
"Hayage!" Sanbonmatsu led the gendarmerie and rushed to the Spring Style Teahouse again. But by this time, the Spring Style Teahouse was already empty.
"Baga!" He was furious. He didn't expect that the other party would get the news so quickly.
…
"You're saying that he didn't know that he was in contact with the person caught yesterday. But the people he usually contacts are the owners of the Spring Tea House?" Shunroku Hata raised his eyebrows.
"Hi!"
"Baga! Call Matsushita Muichi over here!"
"Hi!"
"Your Excellency, Commander, are you looking for me?" Matsushita Kiichi quickly came to Hata Shunroku.
"Kiichi-kun, how do I treat you?" Shunroku Hata looked at Matsushita Kiichi in front of him and asked immediately.
"Your Excellency, Commander, you have shown me kindness." Matsushita Muichi then bent down and bowed, saying.
"If that's the case, then why did you betray me?"
"Betrayal?" Matsushita Kiichi was shocked, but he was thinking in his heart, did he know it so quickly, but what he said was, "Your Excellency, Commander, why did I, Matsushita Kiichi, betray you? What did I do to betray you?"
,Don’t listen to other people’s nonsense!”
"The owner of the Spring Tea House is an intelligence officer of the Chinese people!" Shunroku Hata frowned and said coldly.
"Nani?" Matsushita Kiichi looked at Shunroku Hata in shock, "Your Excellency, Commander, I have nothing to do with the teahouse owner, I just like to drink tea!"
"But, the day before yesterday, you were the only one in the entire headquarters who went to the teahouse."
"Your Majesty Commander, I was wronged!"
"Then you went out again this morning, at 9 o'clock. Sanbon-kun went to the Spring Tea House at 10 o'clock, and there was no one in the Spring Tea House!"
"Baga!" Hata Shunroku was furious, "Sanbon-kun, just take Matsushita back and take care of it first!"
"Hi!"
"Your Excellency, Commander, I was wronged!" Matsushita Muichi kept shouting, but he was taken out of the room by the soldiers next to him. Matsushita Muichi never thought that he would be exposed. Moreover, it is very likely that,
It was Lao Zhao from the bookstore who turned traitor.
"Matsushita-kun, please stop shouting." Sanbonmatsu said to Matsushita, "Commander, you won't listen now."
"Sanbon-kun, you have to believe me!"
"Of course I believe you, but Commander, you don't believe me! And, where did you go this morning?"
"Spring-style teahouse." Matsushita Muichi said helplessly, "I have to go there to drink tea every morning!"
"When you went there, did the people in the teahouse have any different reactions?"
"To put it this way, it is indeed quite different." Matsushita touched his chin and said, "Today the teahouse owner actually spilled a pot of tea."
Sanbonmatsu nodded. He did not believe that Matsushita Kiichi was a spy. However, the fact was that every time Matsushita Kiichi appeared, the time was too coincidental. The only time that did not match was last night. According to his
People reported that Matsushita Kiichi went home after drinking with Tanaka Saburo yesterday, and they stayed drunk until dawn. This time was not right, which was very critical. There was not enough evidence to prove that Matsushita Kiichi was a spy.
"Sanbon-kun," Matsushita sighed, "I'm going to trouble you in the next few days."
"Don't worry, it's okay." Sanbonsong nodded, "I will find the spy as soon as possible and restore your innocence."
"Thank you very much!" Matsushita nodded and said. He knew that the Japs must still have some unidentified places, otherwise they would not be so polite to him. He was very sure that the Japs were not sure of the places, so how did he communicate with the bookstore?
Lao Zhao contacted. He was confident that he did not reveal any flaws last night.
