Chapter two(2/2)
During his mission, Seiji Yasuda accidentally met Ning Zhiheng while going to the Shanghai branch. For him, Ning Zhiheng was undoubtedly the biggest nightmare in his life. Over the years, he dared not forget it. It was a deep memory that was engraved in his bones, so he immediately recognized Ning Zhiheng.
However, in the subsequent investigation, he learned that this young man who looked exactly like Ning Zhiheng was actually Tomohito Fujiwara, the president of Japan's Fujiwara Society, was shocked by his discovery.
Standing at the top of the food chain, entrenched in East China for many years and holding a huge business empire, the top Japanese powerful man, was actually a Chinese intelligence officer? What does this secret mean? He knew very well. After all, he was a Japanese. From his position, although he was full of fear of Ning Zhiheng and did not hesitate to hide his identity for many years, he was even more afraid that Tomohito Fujiwara was really the Chinese intelligence officer, a real Chinese spy. If this is true, the harm to Japan would be too great.
In the end, Seiji Yasuda overcame the fear in his heart and insisted on secretly investigating Fujiwara Tomohito's true identity, and soon found strong evidence.
It turned out that during the investigation, he visited people who had contact with Tomohito Fujiwara. When he visited Japanese calligrapher Hiroki Ito, he saw a hanging scroll on the wall of the living room, which immediately attracted his attention.
I saw that this book was written in Japanese in small regular script and seal script. The font was beautiful and elegant, upright and natural. The signature of the person was Fujiwara Tomoto.
After inquiring, Seiji Yasuda knew that this was a gift from Tomohito Fujiwara to Hiroki Ito.
You should know that when Yasuji first met Ning Zhiheng, he had a deep memory of Ning Zhiheng's fluent Japanese and extremely outstanding Japanese literary attainments. Even his confessions were written in Japanese, so he had a very deep memory of the fonts written by Ning Zhiheng. After comparison, he finally confirmed his previous judgment.
So he quickly reported the situation to his boss. Of course, in the narrative, Seiji Yasuda still hid his previous experiences and only said that he had met the Chinese intelligence officer Ning Zhiheng by chance.
All Japanese intelligence departments operating in China know the weight of the three words "Ning Zhiheng". As the most heavyweight intelligence leader and spy leader of China, there are countless Japanese spies who died directly or indirectly at his hands. He has always been regarded as the number one enemy by the Japanese intelligence departments.
Because the relationship was too serious, his boss did not dare to neglect it. He directly met with Lieutenant General Kobayashi, who was the new intelligence leader, who succeeded Junhei Uehara, and brought the situation out.
At this time, it was when Ning Zhiheng lost all his two backers and was attacked from both sides and was in a difficult situation. Lieutenant General Kobayashi was one of the secret followers. However, Fujiwara Tomori's identity was noble after all. Lieutenant General Kobayashi was worried and did not immediately attack Ning Zhiheng. Instead, he ordered a secret investigation against Fujiwara Tomori and was ready to close the net at any time.
Fortunately, this news was accidentally learned by Tanikawa Chiemi who was lurking in the Military Intelligence Department. She immediately notified Ning Zhiheng. Upon hearing this news, Ning Zhiheng knew that his lurking career had come to an end, because his identity was too important and must not fall into the hands of the Japanese.
So Ning Zhiheng made a quick decision and reluctantly abandoned Tomohito Fujiwara. This identity who had been operating for many years, directed and acted assassination, and finally left a vague and unrecognizable body. He then acted as a golden plan to escape and hurriedly evacuated East China.
Because of Ning Zhiheng's exposure, Fujiwara Society, this huge business empire, collapsed in an instant, and all industries that had relationships and intersections with Fujiwara Tomori were forced to give up. The losses were so great that it was impossible to count. The work of the Shanghai Intelligence Department was almost completely interrupted. Due to the lack of intelligence and shortage of material supplies, this also indirectly caused the complete defeat of the front battlefield. Changsha City, which had been defending for seven years, also fell in this battle, with a huge impact.
Because Tanikawa Chiemi was also facing the danger of being exposed, she also withdrew to Chongqing with Ning Zhiheng.
Because Tanikawa Chiemi's previous performance has been excellent, he even informed him at a critical moment, saving Ning Zhiheng's life. So after this incident, Ning Zhiheng had a strong trust in Tanikawa Chiemi and had no doubts anymore. After returning to Chongqing, he officially recruited Tanikawa Chiemi and joined the Operations Department of the Military Affairs Bureau. He was also one of Ning Zhiheng's confidants.
After the Japanese surrendered, the Shanghai Intelligence Department learned that before the Japanese retreated and returned to China, they arranged a large number of Japanese spies to lurk. Given that Chiemi Tanikawa was very familiar with the situation of the Japanese intelligence agencies, Ning Zhiheng ordered Chiemi Tanikawa to be responsible for the comprehensive clearance work.
Tanikawa Chiemi did not disappoint Ning Zhiheng's expectations. With her outstanding work ability, she has successively dug out multiple Japanese lurking teams and captured a large number of lurking agents in the past six months, and achieved remarkable results. All of this made Ning Zhiheng very satisfied.
But today, he specially called Tanikawa Chiemi to his office, which obviously had a deeper meaning.
At this time, after reading the interrogation records in her hand, Tanikawa Chiemi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because the whole record did not mention any of her own situation. She believed that she had carefully designed her hands and feet, and had no loopholes left behind.
"Saturday, I have reported to you about the situation of this 'Nine Dog' intelligence team. A month ago, when I cracked the "Sangu" intelligence team, I had received information about the "Nine Dogs". Unfortunately, we went too late and the Nine Dogs escaped without a trace. The group she led was unable to check and missed such a good opportunity."
Ning Zhiheng raised his eyes and observed the subtle changes on Tanikawa Chiemi's face. After a long time, he said: "You reported to me before, and said that you got the whereabouts of the 'Nine Dogs' from the mouth of 'Sangu'. Her concealed identity is Guan Peiling, a female accountant from Yonghua Spinning Mill. When you took someone to arrest her, her family was already empty. In this way, the investigation of the 'Nine Dogs' intelligence team will be gone, right?"
"Yes!" Tanikawa Chiemi didn't know what Ning Zhiheng meant, but she had already felt that she must have revealed some flaws.
Ning Zhiheng looked at Chiemi Tanikawa with cold eyes, and then said slowly: "According to these interrogation records, these assassins followed the orders of the team leader, "Nine Dogs" and carried out the assassination operation on me, but they had never seen "Nine Dogs" himself. They contacted them through newspapers and dead mailboxes.
But just two hours ago, Nie Tianming dug out a female corpse in Guan Peiling's yard. After identification, it was confirmed that it was Guan Peiling himself and his death was also a month ago. In other words, a month ago, the 'Nine Dogs' had already died. So who was the person who issued orders to the 'Nine Dogs' intelligence team after that?"
As soon as this said, Tanikawa Chiemi felt a buzzing sound and dizzy. She didn't expect that Ning Zhiheng would search Guan Peiling's residence again and find the fatal flaw.
"I asked your team members that after the failed arrest of Guan Peiling, you personally led the search for the residence. You just searched the items in the room. Although the search was very careful, there was no gain. You easily let go of the items in the yard, so in the end, no clues were obtained, and these cases were left unresolved.
Then... can I explain this way? After you got the information from Jiutu, you rushed to her residence first, controlled and conducted interrogation. After you got the information from the commander Jiutu Intelligence Team, you killed her and buried the corpse on the spot to destroy the traces. From then on, you replaced the identity of "Jiutu" and issued orders to the intelligence team.
And last night in the outskirts of Nanjing, those assassins received your order to ambush my convoy. How about it? Am I right?"
After listening to Ning Zhiheng's analysis, Tanikawa Chiemi defended urgently: "Saturday, my loyalty to you is clear, how could I assassinate you? Besides, you are far away from Shanghai and I am in Nanjing, how could you know your whereabouts and how could you arrange this ambush in advance?"
Hearing Tanikawa Chiemi's defense, Ning Zhiheng sneered again. This was exactly what he was most angry about. Without the help of the insider, Tanikawa Chiemi really couldn't know his whereabouts.
"Yes, you really don't know where I am in Shanghai, but someone knows that he will inform you.
So who is this person? He must be someone around me, and he is my confidant. Otherwise, it would be impossible to avoid the maze array I arranged before and understand my real itinerary.
There are only a few people who know my true whereabouts in Shanghai. One of them is closest to you. This person... is Leng Qing!
Am I right?"
At this moment, Tanikawa Chiemi could no longer keep calm. In fact, it is not difficult to speculate that in the system of Operation 2, the person she is most familiar with and closest to is Leng Qing, the assistant lurking in Changsha with her. The two of them joined forces to dig out the Japanese intelligence network in Changsha. Then Leng Qing followed her footsteps to Nanjing. She was the contact between her and Ning Zhiheng. It can be said that the two have been partners together for five years. The relationship between colleagues for two years is the most intimate. Following her line, it is not difficult to dig out Leng Qing!
This is why Ning Zhiheng is most angry. Leng Qing is one of his most trusted confidants. He followed him during his time and was promoted all the way, from the operation captain, the operation team leader, to the supervisory director. Later, he was transferred to Nanjing as a liaison officer with Chiemi Tanikawa. He was one of the insiders who knew Ning Zhiheng's concealment of his identity. You should know that even the Zuo brothers who had been following Ning Zhiheng for the longest time did not know this huge secret before Ning Zhiheng was exposed. From this point, it can be seen that Ning Zhiheng gave great trust to Leng Qing. After he was withdrawn to Chongqing, he was promoted and reused all the way, and until now he is the commissioner of the Shanghai Administrative Office.
Even such a confidant person would betray him, which was absolutely intolerable to Ning Zhiheng, who was extremely arrogant.
Seeing Tanikawa Chiemi being speechless, Ning Zhiheng snorted coldly and continued: "Leng Qing participated in the investigation in the two assassins in Shanghai. Several key evidence and confessions were provided by him. Even one of the assassinations was completely presided over by him. For this reason, he tortured severely, resulting in the torture of several key witnesses but died on the spot. In the end, all the evidence and spearheads were directly pointed at the corrupt personnel, but I trusted him too much and did not notice it in time. Alas, I was a brother who had been through life and death with me. I never thought that such a person would betray me at such a time!"
Speaking of this, Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but feel heartbroken, let out a long sigh, and then said, "But you are too anxious. After I killed those corrupt elements, I still didn't stop and ambushed me on the way back to Nanjing. This made me focus my suspicion on you and Leng Qing. Are you so anxious?"
At this time, Tanikawa Chiemi had no room for quibbling. She knew that with Ning Zhiheng's suspicion and caution, if one of these suspicious points could not be explained, she would not be able to pass the test, not to mention that there are too many flaws that are revealed now.
Thinking of this, she felt relieved. In fact, when she walked into this office, things were irreversible. She knew that what Ning Zhiheng needed was just an explanation.
At this time, she looked calm and calm, and said lightly: "It's true. I asked Leng Qing to plan two assassinations. Unfortunately, you were too alert. You failed the two assassinations and were caught by you. There was no way. Leng Qing had to bite the bullet and acted on it, and finally let those idiots be scapegoats. But we also know that we can hide it for a while, but we can't hide it for a lifetime. With your shrewdness, come back to your senses. This matter will soon be exposed, so we have to take a gamble and take a risky gamble outside Nanjing, but in the end it failed. Haha... It's God's will, I have nothing to say!"
"Nothing to say?"
Ning Zhiheng's face was ashen and his eyes were terrifyingly cold. He pointed at Chiemi Tanikawa, unable to suppress the anger in his heart, and he was furious: "You are betrayal! Betrayal! Extremely shameless!
Since you surrendered, I trust you very much and let you do it. After the Changsha clearance operation, you were locked in prison. It was because I risked the exposure of my identity and personally pleaded with Chunping Shang of the Yuan Dynasty, and then rescued you. Back to Chongqing, I proved your identity, joined the Military Control Commission, and promoted you in an extraordinary way, and entrusted with important tasks. In order to reward your performance, I have never been stingy with money. Let's take a look at which subordinates around me have such treatment as you? Is your wealthy?
It can be said that I gave you everything I can give you, money, power, and career prospects, what else do you want? This is how you repay me? Do you think you can turn back? The Japanese have surrendered! You crazy! A lunatic who is fascinated!"
At the end, Ning Zhiheng's voice was getting louder and louder, almost roaring!
He really couldn't understand how Tanikawa Chiemi betrayed him?
Faced with Ning Zhiheng's questioning, Tanikawa Chiemi nodded and admitted. She said calmly: "You are indeed not bad to me. I have always been grateful to you before, thinking that I could start a new life in the future, but this was the idea a month ago. It was not until I learned something that I decided to attack you!"
"What happened a month ago?" Ning Zhiheng was stunned for a moment. He thought he had not done anything that he had done to Chiemi Tanikawa. Everything between the two was on the surface and there was no hidden place.
"I remember telling you back then that I had no feelings for the so-called Japanese Empire. My parents died since I was a child, and only one brother depended on me. He was my only relative. When we grew up, my brother went to the army military academy and I was sent to the spy school for training. Later, my brother was also killed in the Chinese battlefield and I became a real orphan."
Ning Zhiheng recalled a little. There was indeed this incident. When he was in Chongqing, Tanikawa Chiemi was feeling his life experience and revealed these things to him. But so long has passed, he is about to forget it.
"Is this the case? What's wrong?"
"When my brother was killed, I was still lurking in Nanjing and didn't know the specific situation. Later I learned that my brother died in Pudong during the Battle of Shanghai. The entire army was wiped out, and almost no one could escape, so I never knew the cause of his death.
Just a month ago, I had a conversation with Sun Jiacheng. He accidentally told me that during the Battle of Shanghai, you had wiped out several Japanese plainclothes teams in Pudong. The most successful one was to burn the reed marsh and burn a plainclothes team to death. Yes, right?"
Ning Zhiheng's words made Ning Zhiheng realize that this was his combat experience when he first went to the battlefield. So long has passed. Is this related to the sudden betrayal of Tanigawa's Chiemi?
Tanikawa Chiemi stared at Ning Zhiheng tightly and asked word by word: "Do you still remember the name of the captain of the Japanese plainclothes brigade?"
Ning Zhiheng was stunned. He knew that there must be a reason for Tanikawa Chiemi's question, but nine years have passed, and he really can't recall these things.
Looking at Ning Zhiheng's expression, Tanikawa Chiemi also knew the answer. This matter was just a trivial matter in the eyes of the other party.
"The captain's name is Tanikawa Kazuma, which is my brother. His body burned by you has nowhere to exist. This is my only relative in this world. I must not refuse to avenge this revenge!"
After saying something, Ning Zhiheng almost vomited blood. What is so bloody in this world? The captain of the Japanese plainclothes team that he burned to death back then turned out to be Chiemi Tanikawa's brother. He became Chiemi Tanikawa's enemy who killed his brother. Chiemi Tanikawa decided to avenge his brother because he accidentally learned about this and then attacked him.
"So that's how it is!" Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but sigh. This was really a mess. A small thing that happened inadvertently that year turned out to be a disaster.
"So you started to make arrangements. You obviously found the true body of the 'Nine Dogs', but you started to attack me in advance. Li Daitao Zou and assassinated me, but what happened to Leng Qing? When did you convince him?"
As soon as Ning Zhiheng said that, he knew that this question was in vain. The matter was obvious. Leng Qing, like those who were instigated by Tanikawa Chiemi, was fascinated by beauty. He actually tried the method and got himself in.
Tanikawa Chiemi also confessed, saying: "The incident between Leng Qing and me had already happened when I was lurking in Changsha. But he knew that you had always been wary of me and did not believe me as a Japanese, so he was afraid that you would always be careful to hide it. When I was about to attack you, I was unable to do anything, so I could only find him to help, but he refused. Later, I threatened with my life and promised him that I avenged my brother and went to the United States with him and went away!"
At this point, Tanikawa Chiemi paused in his tone and begged: "He was forced by me. He is very grateful for your kindness for the years. It's just that I have decided to do it. I know that I can't stop me, and I'm afraid that my affairs will be exposed and die at your hands. I thought for a long time, and finally agreed to help me. I hope that you can let him have a way out for the sake of his followers for many years!"
After hearing all this, Ning Zhiheng was also disheartened. The two most trusted confidants betrayed this way and joined forces to deal with him. This was something that had never happened before.
"Even if you don't say it, this matter cannot be hidden. Just now, Huo Yueze has arrested Leng Qing in Shanghai and interrogated it himself. Unfortunately, Leng Qing is the person I have cultivated along the way. He originally had a great future, but he was ruined by you..."
When things came to this point, Ning Zhiheng didn't want to say anything more. He waved his hand and signaled Chiemi Tanikawa to leave.
Tanikawa Chiemi had no desire to resist at all. She knew Ning Zhiheng and had no chance at all. She could only be humiliated. She did not say anything more and turned around and opened the office door.
At this time, Zhao Jiang and others had been guarding outside the door, watching Tanikawa Chiemi come out and suddenly surrounded him.
Tanikawa Chiemi stretched out her hands directly, and the guards beside her handcuffs and took her down.
Zhao Jiang walked into the office and asked Ning Zhiheng for advice: "When you sit down, how to deal with her?"
Ning Zhiheng sat in the seat, holding his forehead with his hands, closing his eyes slightly, and after a long time, he slowly said: "Closed it first, wait for Leng Qing to take it back from Shanghai, let them meet for the last time, and then... let's deal with it together!"
Although it was a reason for the incident, he was a hero of a generation. He was arrogant and conceited all his life and never bowed his head. In any case, he could not endure such betrayal.
Zhao Jiang nodded and took the order, turned around and retreated.
