Chapter 71 A City in Turmoil
Dai Chunfeng went to the Jade Palace to report to the principal, while Shen Yi had to attend to other matters.
According to Huang Jun, he worked for Suma Yakichiro, the consul at the Japanese consulate.
However, Suma Yakichiro cannot be arrested yet, as he, as the consul general, has diplomatic immunity.
If Suma Yakichiro is arrested, it could escalate into a diplomatic incident.
It is well known that weak nations have no diplomacy.
If Suma Yakichiro is captured today, he may face military retaliation from Japan tomorrow.
Given Chiang Kai-shek's current policies, he does not want war to break out with Japan so soon.
However, it wasn't him who initially bribed Huang Jun, but rather a female service worker named Liao Ya from the Tangshan Sanatorium who seduced him.
Taking advantage of the fact that Huang Jun had just been arrested and the Japanese hadn't yet reacted, now was the perfect time to close the net.
Huang Jun not only betrayed his country and defected to the enemy, but he also bribed some other officials. Now Zhao Lijun has begun to arrest people all over the city.
Shen Yi's mission was to go to the Tangshan Sanatorium to capture Liao Ya.
Tangshan Sanatorium is a bit far from downtown Nanjing, so Shen Yi immediately drove there after gathering his men.
The arrest process was quite straightforward, as Liao Ya had already been apprehended by the time Shen Yi arrived, and had also been shot in the leg.
Tangshan Sanatorium was a place for military and political officials to rest, so naturally there were soldiers stationed there. Just grab a waiter and make a phone call, and that would be the end of it.
As for Liao Ya's gunshot wound, it was because she realized she had been exposed and was shot while trying to escape.
The soldiers knew they had to leave someone alive, and they acted swiftly, giving Liao Ya no chance to commit suicide.
Shen Yi came here solely to take Liao Ya back to the Special Service Department.
I must say, Liao Ya is indeed beautiful; no wonder she could bewitch Huang Jun.
While Shen Yi was making the arrests, Lin Jiang was also closing in.
Today, Nanjing is in turmoil.
00000
Special Service Department.
At this time, Lin Jiang had already completed the capture. While capturing Matsushima Masako, he also took down the mole he had already obtained.
Since we've started, we're going to wipe them all out in one fell swoop!
Lin Jiang's abilities are beyond doubt. To become the leader of the first action team and gain Zhao Lijun's deep trust, he must have some real skills.
Moreover, the capture of Matsushima Masako didn't require much effort from him; within a few days, he had already figured out the mole in Matsushima Masako's possession.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin Jiang resolutely decided to quickly close the net, capturing Matsushima Masako and her telegraph operator, and also seizing a radio and a codebook.
He was beaming with joy, thinking that he was sure to be rewarded for his great achievement.
He had been promoted to captain for less than two years. According to the Nationalist government's policy on the suspension of promotions in military ranks, it would take four years to be promoted from captain to major in peacetime, and two years even in wartime, unless one made a particularly outstanding contribution.
However, this achievement was not enough to warrant another promotion.
But even if he can't get promoted in rank, he can get promoted in position. He's been eyeing the position of deputy head of the action section for a long time.
The Action Section has two deputy section chief positions. One of them is a confidant of Deputy Director Zheng Jiemin, and the other was sent to Tianjin Station as station chief six months ago.
Lin Jiang was a close confidant of Zhao Lijun. When the position of deputy section chief became vacant, Zhao Lijun said more than once that he would promote Lin Jiang.
But that's not something you can just bring up.
The competition among the three action groups was fierce, with Group 1 and Group 3 performing the best. Qin Xuan, the leader of Group 3, was also one of Zheng Jiemin's men.
Qin Xuan is currently on a mission outside. If he completes the mission, he will very likely be the deputy section chief.
Lin Jiang was extremely anxious about this matter, which is why he had previously wanted to arrest that Communist Party member to see if he could gain some more merit. He really didn't want to give up his position as deputy section chief.
Although I won't be promoted to deputy section chief, it shouldn't be a problem for me to be promoted to major in terms of position rank.
However, although we haven't caught the Communists, we have caught the Japanese spies!
The Japanese spy sent by Shen Yi was like a timely rain for him, so he took the case very seriously and personally carried out the surveillance.
He had already returned to the Special Service Department and ordered his men to take Masako Matsushima and all the moles to the interrogation room.
When he arrived at the interrogation room, he was dumbfounded to see so many people there.
If he hadn't seen Zhao Lijun interrogating someone, he would have doubted that he had come to the wrong place.
"Section Chief!"
Lin Jiang quickly ran up to Zhao Lijun.
Zhao Lijun turned to look at Lin Jiang, and then saw Matsushima Masako and the others being held captive behind him.
"Reporting to the section chief, Masako Matsushima and all the moles she's holding have been captured!" Lin Jiang said.
Zhao Lijun nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this; this action team truly pleased him.
Not only has Shen Yi made a great contribution, but now Lin Jiang has also cracked a Japanese spy group.
"Good job. Interrogate Matsushima Masako immediately and see if there are any others who have escaped," Zhao Lijun said.
"yes!"
Lin Jiang immediately ordered Matsushima Masako to be taken over for interrogation, and then asked Zhao Lijun why there were so many people in the interrogation room.
Zhao Lijun then remembered that this matter had been kept strictly confidential, and Lin Jiang was unaware of it.
He then gave an explanation, and Lin Jiang was so surprised that his mouth dropped open.
This is a lifesaver!
No wonder Shen Yi wanted to give Matsushima Masako to him; it turns out he had something more important to do.
Although Zhao Lijun said that Shen Yi did not know that the Japanese were targeting Principal Chiang Kai-shek, now that things have happened, Lin Jiang can only be envious.
Suddenly, he felt that the Matsushima Masako in his hand was no longer so appealing. No merit could compare to saving the leader's life. Shen Yi had made such a great contribution this time, and the principal would definitely reward him handsomely. In that case, Shen Yi's position as deputy group leader might not be enough.
Lin Jiang felt a sense of unease at this thought. Could he be replaced by Shen Yi?
Zhao Lijun noticed Lin Jiang's worry, smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Although Shen Yi deserves the most credit this time, he is also the deputy leader of the group. As his superior, you will also get credit."
"And you've done a great job now."
"Lin Jiang, what I told you six months ago may be coming true."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiang suddenly realized that six months ago, when the position of deputy section chief was vacant, Zhao Lijun had said he would promote him.
Now that Zhao Lijun is saying this, could it be that he has gotten some information out of us?
Lin Jiang was thrilled at the thought and quickly stood at attention, saying, "Thank you, Section Chief!"
He then rushed to the room where Masako Matsushima was being held, replaced the agent who was interrogating her, and personally began to torture her.
Not long after, Shen Yi also escorted Liao Ya back to the Special Service Department.
Seeing so many people in the interrogation room, he thought to himself that Huang Jun, this traitor, not only betrayed his country but also bribed others; he truly deserved to die!
As he was walking inside, he passed a room and saw Lin Jiang taking a statement from a woman, so he stopped and went in.
"Brother Lin, have you already closed the net?"
When Lin Jiang saw Shen Yi return, he quickly got up and went over, saying with a smile, "That's right, I really have to thank Brother Shen this time."
"Haha, Brother Lin, you're too kind," Shen Yi laughed. "Has she already confessed?"
As he spoke, he looked at Masako Matsushima, who was sitting in a chair and whose face was completely unrecognizable. However, one could still tell from her appearance that she must have been a beautiful woman before.
Lin Jiang is really ruthless. Maybe he should interrogate Liao Ya as well?
It's a good opportunity to share the credit with Lin Jiang as well; in the Special Service, ability alone isn't enough.
Lin Jiang nodded.
"Brother Lin is indeed amazing. I've also just captured a female Japanese spy. Why don't you help me interrogate her too?" Shen Yi said with a smile.
These words made Liao Ya, who was behind her, swallow hard. As soon as she entered, she saw Matsushima Masako, who had been disfigured.
Is she going to become like that in a little while?
Lin Jiang looked at Liao Ya with some amazement; it was a pity that such a beautiful woman's face was ruined.
But this is a reward delivered right to my door, so I might as well take it!
At the same time, he also knew that Shen Yi was deliberately giving him credit. Brother Shen really knew how to handle people.
"Since Brother Shen has spoken, how can I, as the elder brother, refuse?" Lin Jiang said with a smile.
