Chapter 301: Defeated by the sincerity of the other party

"What Badger Project? It's Badger Work!'

'Actually, it means the same thing. We Japanese like to call it Badger Work. Translated into Chinese, it's Badger Project.'

'Who do you want to turn?'

'Han Fuzhu.'

'The one in Shandong Province?'

'Yes.'

'He...'

Zhang Yong paused.

So the badger operation was to subvert Han Fuqu!

By the way, how many spies did the Japanese invaders have? How many codenames were there?

Even the 66th Division of the Sichuan Army, which was far away in the middle of Sichuan, was targeted. That 66th Division had just over 10,000 people. According to this level, there were at least 200 similar ones, if not 300!

Even if the scope is narrowed down to the 'powerful faction'. There are definitely no fewer than 100 such targets.

Han Fuqu was indeed one of them. He was in charge of Shandong Province for many years.

The subsequent course of the war showed that this guy really didn't put up much of a fight. He fled at the first sign of trouble.

He didn't even try to defend the Yellow River Iron Bridge, and just ran away.

He also gave up Jinan easily.

As a result, Li and Bai were quite passive during the Battle of Xuzhou.

If it wasn't for the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army holding Teng County and buying themselves a few days, there would have been no victory at Taierzhuang.

From this perspective, Han Fuzhu was absolutely not unjustly executed.

However, Zhang Yong's relationship with Han Fuzhu was not really that close. He also could not possibly go to Shandong Province to arrest people.

Therefore...

'Exchange for something valuable.'

'I...'

'Why don't you tell me about your brothers?'

'You can't!'

'Then tell me about the others in your organization?'

'In your dreams!'

Kintaro Nogaya was very resistant.

Before, Zhang Yong had asked for money, and he had not been so resistant.

However, it was really difficult for him to betray his own people. Especially betraying his own brothers.

Zhang Yong also understood.

It was indeed difficult to ask these Japanese invaders to betray their own people.

Therefore, he basically focused on extorting money. And then piece by piece. Ask them to betray other people.

For example...

'Why don't you tell me about the Nan Agency?'

'What do you want to know?'

'For example, the gunshots at MGM and Paramount.'

'I know something about that. It was Moriguchi Muta of the Nan Kuan Gang who sent the men.'

'Was Moriguchi Muta there?'

'No. Two men led the operation. One was Takekawa Kumazo. The other was Miyamoto Teguma. It was actually two separate incidents.'

'What do you mean by two separate incidents?'

'One was that Kumazo Takegawa killed Yuan Heda. It seems that he was from one of your warlord factions? The other was that Tekuma Miyamoto and the people from Jiutou Mountain were involved. There was also Liang Fei. It seems that Liang Fei is dead. These two things are actually not related. They just got mixed up.'

'Oh, so there were two things!'

Zhang Yong finally completely solved the mystery. All the evidence also matched up.

Wu Chuan Xiong San killed Yuan Hetang and stole a box of gold bars. But this guy actually didn't hand it in. Instead, he took it to Jinling and hid it with Yan Ruzi.

Vaguely, it seems that I understand why Wu Chuan Xiong San didn't hide the gold bars where Nan Jiguan knew. Instead, he chose Yan Ruzi. This guy, I guess, also had some selfish motives. He wanted to secretly embezzle the gold bars.

After all, the Japanese are also human, and with so many gold bars, how could a few people not be tempted?

There may be other similar Japanese people.

They hid something that they couldn't let others know about in Yan Ruzi.

Yan Ruzi did keep her mouth shut.

She didn't know what was being stored. And she didn't inquire.

She didn't even notice a whole box of gold bars placed right under her nose.

'Who is Miyamoto Teguma?'

'He is also a killer from the Nan'gu. He is a ninja. He likes to practice normally. He often disguises himself as a down-and-out beggar, eating and living...'

'Wait!'

Zhang Yong's mind exploded.

Another question had finally been answered. It was the identity of the old beggar!

Miyamoto Teguma!

A ninja!

Likes to practice!

So that's it!

So the old beggar was called Miyamoto Teguma. A killer for the Nanbu Agency. A ninja. Likes to practice!

It all became clear!

No wonder the old beggar was so powerful.

Several times they failed to catch him.

But in the end, I ambushed him. I think I injured him with the grenade.

The old beggar is definitely not as powerful as before. Who knows who will win if we meet again next time. It's hard to say. Provided that I bring enough people with me.

Haha!

What a ninja!

He's finished when he encounters a grenade, isn't he?

Haha!

This Kintaro Nogaya is also interesting.

He refused to betray the people from the Aoi Agency. But when it came to betraying the Kusu Agency, he was decisive.

He won't betray his own agency. But he has no problem betraying other agencies.

I don't know what the logic of the Japanese is.

Perhaps there were conflicts between these Japanese spy agencies. The relationships were not necessarily friendly.

The same was true of the Central Bureau and the Military Bureau.

If someone from the Military Bureau was captured, I don't think anyone would hesitate to ask them to betray the secrets of the Central Bureau.

'Who else is in the Nan Agency?'

'There's also Miyamoto Shinji...'

'What?'

'Miyamoto Shinji. He was also a killer for the Nan Agency. He had an older brother called Miyamoto Shinichi. He was a killer for the Dan Agency. I think he was doing something in Jinling? A coffin shop?'

'Wait a minute.'

Zhang Yong tried to remember.

A coffin shop? Japanese spies? That was a familiar term.

He remembered the coffin shop on the outskirts of Jinling. It seemed that two Japanese spies had a fight.

He had been to the scene himself at the time.

He had also accidentally found a lost memo inside.

I deduced that one of the Japanese spies might be Wu Yuanfu (Sakata Kazuo). And the other one might be this Miyamoto Shinichi?

Damn, this Miyamoto family has a lot of experts! Could it be that the whole family is ninjas?

Are there so many descendants of Miyamoto Musashi?

I'm just rambling.

'What about Jiutou Mountain?'

'I don't know about that. They should have fled north. They're all a bunch of riffraff.'

'Good!'

Zhang Yong nodded.

Have someone arrange for the other party to be fed and given water. Let them eat their fill.

Yes, eat your fill. Eat well. Make the other party feel that there is hope for their lives. Then start cutting off the water and food again. A sudden fall from heaven to hell might provide some information again.

Leave the cell. Return to Li Boqi's office. Really want to call him. End up holding back.

Promised not to call for 15 days.

Hold back. Hold back. Hold back...

But I really want to share this happy news with Li Boqi!

Should I just call the Chief?

No, this is too trivial a matter.

I'm doing nothing.

Back in the cell again.

Let's see who else can provide some information...

'Captain Zhang, it seems you've forgotten about me,' a voice says next to me.

'No,' Zhang Yong responds with a forced smile, 'how could I forget someone as pretty as Miss Nightingale?'

'Then why don't you interrogate me?'

'Miss Nightingale, will you confess?'

'That depends on how you interrogate me.'

'What else is there? Whips, crack, crack. Chili water, gurgle, gurgle. Tiger bench, ouch, ouch. Red iron, ouch, ouch. Electric shock, crack, crack. Apart from this five-piece set, there are no other methods.'

'It seems really scary.'

'That's why I didn't let you go to the torture chamber! If you didn't want to answer my questions, I would have been angry and wanted to torture you. With your delicate body, if you were hurt, Uekawa Kagami wouldn't want to pay to get you out.'

'You...told her?'

'Of course. Otherwise, who would pay to get you out? Kiri organ? Nan organ?'

'You...'

'So, you stay put and behave yourself. Wait for your release. I'm not asking for much, just 100,000 taels of silver...'

'What? 100,000!'

The nightingale couldn't help but blurt out in Japanese.

What an asshole!

He just asked for 100,000!

'What? You think that's too little? It's an insult to your status?'

'No...'

'If that's the case, how about 500,000? Is that a price befitting your status? A million is also negotiable...'

'No...'

Nightingale muttered.

One hundred thousand dollars just to talk. That's a fortune!

How could the Japanese possibly be willing to pay one hundred thousand dollars for a spy? They might not even be willing to pay ten thousand.

'You can trade me in for her!'

'No.'

'Why?'

'I just want the money.'

'You...'

Nightingale was speechless.

She was defeated by the other person's sincerity.

Everyone else was vehemently denying that they were motivated by money.

This guy in front of her, on the other hand, was not hiding anything. He was not ashamed. He did not feel the least bit of shame. Although she was his enemy, she was impressed.

'You're worried that Uekawa Kagami doesn't have the money?'

'I...'

'It's true, I contacted her before. She really can't come up with that much money.'

'Captain Zhang, we're both in the same business, so why do you have to use so many tricks?'

'Did I use tricks?'

'Of course.'

'I only want money. No intelligence. I'm the least demanding among my peers, right?'

'You...'

The nightingale was at a loss for words.

Indeed. The other party really only wanted money. No intelligence.

Up until now, Zhang Yong had only asked about money. Nothing about intelligence. And he had never asked her to betray her own people.

This was a very unusual enemy.

He only wanted money.

But she had to admit that his methods were relatively civilized.

It was strange.

She actually found this opponent somewhat admirable.

Except for stripping her of her last dollar. It wasn't too much. If it had been someone else, she would have already been ridden by thousands...

'Why don't you save yourself?'

'What?'

'You can also help earn 100,000 dollars! As long as you earn enough, I will release the person immediately.'

'How do I save myself?'

'Don't tell me you know nothing about Zhang Xiaolin's financial situation.'

'I...'

The nightingale suddenly gritted her teeth.

She wanted to retract all her previous thoughts.

This bastard.

So scary...

With a flick of her mind, she was ready to do something to Zhang Xiaolin.

The other party had finally shown its fangs. It wanted to embezzle Zhang Xiaolin's goods.

Perhaps. Was that his real intention?

'What do you want?'

'Betraying Zhang Xiaolin doesn't put any pressure on you, does it?'

'Please don't use the word betray.'

'Understood. I'll help you get back what belongs to you. You deserve it.'

'Zhang Yong, can I trust you?'

'Who else can you trust but me? I just want the money, not my life.'

'Good.'

The nightingale grits her teeth in anger.

She is of course well aware of Zhang Xiaolin's situation.

Zhang Xiaolin was originally backed by the Japanese. He received a lot of support from behind the scenes.

She was actually spying on Zhang Xiaolin when she was by his side.

Not to ingratiate herself. To spy on him.

So there must have been some conflict between her and Zhang Xiaolin.

Now that she is going to betray Zhang Xiaolin, will she feel any psychological pressure? Of course not. What psychological pressure is there in betraying a Chinese person?

As long as she can get away with it, she doesn't care if Zhang Xiaolin is dead or alive.

'Happy cooperation!'

'Happy cooperation!'

The nightingale finally shook hands with Zhang Yong.
