Lost and Spy

Chapter 682 Candid Dialogue
"This is the full list of consulates, all here."

Hirosawa Hakuman immediately said: "Your Excellency Special Envoy asked you to take charge of this case. I hope Habara-kun can find the traitor lurking in the consulate as soon as possible."

Atsushi Komatsu had already given his report, and it all started when he got a call from the consulate.

Habara Koichi was ordered by General Bannai Yasuhing to solve the case.

Hikaru Habara glanced at the list: "Atsushi Komatsu received the call at 12:30 noon, so during this time, people who went to eat or were on lunch break can be excluded.

The call was made from your office. During that time, you were with General Bannai Kangying, so you are absolutely not suspected.

And your secretary, assistant, these people, in theory, there is no suspicion, just check what they were doing at that time.

Judging from Atsushi Komatsu's report, this traitor speaks fluent Japanese, so he may be Japanese or Chinese.

He had the opportunity to get in touch with you, and even secretly assigned the key to this office. If you recall carefully, who can get in touch with the key to the office?Another point is that he may not have been in the consulate for a long time. "

"why?"

Habara Hikaru smiled: "Your Excellency Hirosawa, a person who has been lurking in the consulate for a long time, he has a safer way to do this, and he will not risk using the phone in your office, so it is easy for us to find out."

Hirosawa Boman suddenly realized.

"Of course, this person may have already run away." Habara Koichi was a little helpless: "This incident was still planned by Meng Shaoyuan, and he must have taken this into consideration. As far as he is shrewd, he will never let his latent agent fall. into our hands."

"However, we just went through an inspection, and all the consulate personnel are there."

"Oh?"

Habara Koichi was a little curious.

all there?

Did not evacuate?

Could it be that Meng Shaoyuan was negligent, or that he was too arrogant?

"According to your analysis, I thought of a person." Hirosawa Boman suddenly said: "This person is called Chen Rongyang, who defected from the military command, and was transferred to the consulate under my direct command. He can speak very fluent Japanese , is also smart, and has strong hands-on ability, and knows a lot.

Some time ago, a window in my office was broken, and he took the initiative to help me fix it. I just received a call from the consul, asking me to go there immediately. I locked all the documents in the safe and brought the key to the safe. According to regulations, the keys should be placed separately, so I left in a hurry.Just forgot the key to the office here.

When I came back later, Chen Rongyang had repaired the window and left, and closed the office door for me. I still asked the assistant to open the door for me with the spare key.After entering, I found that the key was on the desk. "

"You left a Chinese person alone in your office?"

"Yes, all the files were locked by me at that time."

"Your Excellency Hirosawa, I think you are being careless. The military agents are all-pervasive. What you think is worthless, they will often find valuable information." Habara Koichi sighed: "Mr. Chen Rong has a serious suspicion. Bring him."

"Ok."

Hirosawa Hakuman immediately picked up the phone on his desk.

Habara Koichi stood up and walked to the window.

Careless.

People in these consulates have very weak awareness of prevention.

This is also an important reason why the military command has repeatedly succeeded.

"what is that?"

Habara Koichi suddenly pointed out the window and asked.

After finishing the phone call, Hiroshi Hiroshi came over and looked outside: "Oh, the domestic garbage of the consulate will be gathered together, once every three days, someone will come and pull it out at a fixed time, and the people who haul the garbage are also stable."

"It's four big buckets of garbage every time?"

"We have a lot of people, counting our family members, sometimes we can't finish it all in one trip."

"Your Excellency Guangze, don't you think that such a big wooden barrel is enough to hide a person?"

"what do you mean?"

"Search carefully, every wooden barrel must empty out all the garbage inside!"

"Ok."

……

This was the first time Habara Koichi saw Chen Rongyang.

Chen Rongyang changed into new clothes, and the first thing he said after seeing Habara Koichi was: "Thank you."

"Oh, why are you thanking me?" Habara Koichi was curious.

"I am a very clean person." Chen Rongyang said lightly: "I hid in the trash can and ran out. My whole body was filthy, which made it hard for me to bear. You even asked me to wash it and change into a clean one. clothes."

"I also love cleanliness." Habara Koichi felt the same way: "If you stand in front of me with garbage and a strange smell, I won't be able to stand it."

"At least we have something in common."

"Mr. Chen, please sit down." Habara Koichi looked very polite: "Do you smoke?"

"smoke."

"Ok."

Yu Yuanguang put a pack of cigarettes and matches in front of Chen Rongyang.

Chen Rongyang lit a cigarette for himself.

"Mr. Chen, I am against violence." Habara Koichi sighed and said: "If it is not a last resort, I will never execute the prisoner. I think, if you are caught by me like this, you should have no excuse to deny yourself. Is it a latent agent of the military command?"

"There is no excuse." Chen Rongyang said frankly: "It's all like this, do I have any better excuses?"

"Look, this is the beginning of a happy relationship between us." Habara Koichi smiled: "I have something very curious, why did you evacuate in a hurry now? Judging from Meng Shaoyuan's command ability, he should have predicted the danger a long time ago. .”

"Yes, he really predicted it a long time ago and warned me to retreat." Chen Rongyang sighed: "Unfortunately, I am not Meng Shaoyuan's subordinate."

"is it?"

"I'm under the direct leadership of Cheng Yiming, Secretary of the Shanghai Latent Area of ​​the Military Command."

It turned out to be the case.

Habara Koichi suddenly realized.

No wonder the golden time for retreat was lost.

"I'm really sorry for you." Yuyuan Guangyi didn't look like he was acting at all: "You are under the leadership of Cheng Yiming, so if you want to retreat, you must get Cheng Yiming's approval. But Meng Shaoyuan used his people for this mission. Although they are all agents of the military command, there is also a competitive relationship between them, do you know what this reminds me of?"

Chen Rongyang didn't speak, he took a deep breath, and listened to Habara Koichi's words:

"Political struggles, conflicts of interest, conflicts in the officialdom. There is nothing to be ashamed of. The problem in the Chinese officialdom is also very acute. For example, the Japanese army, navy, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs are very serious, so This has been exploited by you many times, but now? It's your turn.

We are all small people, and we have no way to influence the decisions of big people. We know that this is wrong, but what can we do?During the time I was talking with you, Mr. Matsumoto and Mr. Gushige may be blushing at each other and shirking each other's responsibilities, and they may even curse at each other loudly, for fear that they will get a little disadvantage. "

"You are very interesting, Mr. Habara." Chen Rongyang finally said.

"I'm not funny, I'm just pessimistic. I can clearly see our common sorrow in you."

Habara Koichi took the cigarette case, lit a cigarette for himself, and puffed on it: "bureaucrats, this will kill people. Our intelligence work in Shanghai has repeatedly failed, and we don't know the responsibility of reviewing it. The cleaner the better, what about you? You have given everything for your country, but now, it is very likely that you have been betrayed because of official interests!"

Chen Rongyang continued to remain silent.

"Believe me, Mr. Chen." Hahara Koichi said with certainty: "Meng Shaoyuan must have worked hard to find Cheng Yiming to help you retreat. You can't blame him. Cheng Yiming will definitely make things difficult for him on purpose, otherwise, if you can do it early Even if you retreat for 15 minutes, now you are free, instead of sitting here a captive."

Chen Rongyang was a little curious: "You actually speak for Meng Shaoyuan?"

"Why not? Is it because we are enemies?" Habara Koichi felt that it was strange to ask this question: "I admire Meng Shaoyuan very much, and I admire it from the bottom of my heart. I never thought that an enemy could be powerful. In this way, any opportunity that is lost at once can be firmly grasped by him!

I have been working hard to study him and learn from him.If there is no war now, I will even worship him as my teacher.Japan has learned a lot from China, and the funny thing is that after we got stronger, many of us denied it, being arrogant and arrogant, which only set us up for failure. "

Chen Rongyang suddenly became afraid of this person.

The Japanese has always spoken slowly, without being irritable, without yelling, and without immediately tortured him to force him to confess information.

Even seemed very gentle.

However, Chen Rongyang was really scared.

A fear rising from the deepest part of my heart.

Honor your enemies, learn from your enemies.

It was hard for Chen Rongyang to imagine that this was said from a Japanese mouth.

But now he saw it with his own eyes.

"Mr. Chen, don't be violent, I hate torture." Habara Koichi said "sincerely": "Tell me everything you know, and I will ensure that you will receive the best treatment. I hope you can cooperate with me so that we To be able to argue with my superiors to keep you safe and make sure you don't fall into the hands of those people."

"Which people?"

"Those who treat torture as a job and always think that whipping you can get what they want. But you have to understand me, I'm just a major, I can't change a lot, especially when you refuse to cooperate with me Under the premise."

Chen Rongyang finished the cigarette he just lit in a few puffs, and then he gave a wry smile:
"Mr. Habara, I think you can torture me!"
