Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 886 Hanatani Masaru, the treasure boy!

The next morning, Lin Ze went to find Hua Gu Zheng.

Hua Gu was very busy some time ago, but after the war broke out, he became free.

This is the advantage of conducting military intelligence and counterintelligence work in other places during a war. As long as you proceed steadily in the early stages, you don't even have to produce any results. As long as you don't make any major mistakes, you just have to wait for the war to start and then wait to make meritorious deeds.

Hanatani Masaru also knew how to enjoy life. He no longer lived in the Salt Merchants Association, but moved to a large house behind the gendarmerie. Although he rarely went out, banquets, singing and dancing, and women were indispensable in the house.

Maybe because he was under strict control in Tokyo, he felt like letting himself go here. He even asked for a female nurse who was accompanying the army and tried to pursue her every day.

These female nurses accompanying the army were definitely not of aristocratic origin, so when they saw that Hua Gu Zheng had a good family background, was good-looking, and was an officer, they gave her whatever she wanted, allowing her to experience the sweetness of the land of tenderness.

When Lin Ze arrived at his house, Hua Gu Zheng hadn't even gotten up yet.

The Japanese soldier who was serving him stood outside the bedroom door and reported loudly that Colonel Lin had arrived. Only then did Hua Guzheng get up reluctantly, wash up simply, and go to the flower hall.

He ordered tea and then asked with a smile, "I heard that Colonel Lin has been busy leading patrols lately. How did you find time to come to me? Is it about the airport explosion? With all due respect, this matter is fraught with doubt. The General asked me to sign, but it's not an easy thing to do. I need to think it over."

Lin Ze laughed secretly in his heart, you came to the territory of the North China Front Army, just to pick peaches and gain merit, but refused to put in any effort, no wonder Okamura hated you so much.

"Hanatani-kun, you seem quite relaxed and at ease. I did come to you for something, but it wasn't about the airport explosion. Actually, I'm a bit embarrassed..."

Lin Ze acted as if he was embarrassed to speak.

Hua Gu was taking a sip of tea. "Colonel Lin, please feel free to speak."

"A frontline commander suspected a military intelligence leak due to unfavorable combat conditions. The general suspected the communication code had been leaked, so he ordered me to conduct a routine inspection."

Hua Guzheng was stunned for a moment, and when he reacted, he was a little angry, "What do you mean, General? Are you forcing me to sign?"

It's no wonder Hua Guzheng thought this way. In his opinion, the security around Yuancheng was already at its highest level, so how could there be a leak? As for the code leak, it was even more nonsense. The codes for battlefield communication this time were all formulated by the code experts of the base camp, and there were very few people who had access to the codes. Take himself for example, when he communicated with the base camp, he didn't use a telegraph operator, but sent the telegram himself.

He felt that the reason Okamura brought this up was because he refused to sign the investigation report on the airport explosion, so he asked Lin Ze to put pressure on him.

Lin Ze said sincerely, "General, that's not what you meant. Let me be honest with you. The battle on the northern front is not going well. We still haven't broken through Hengling Pass. Lieutenant General Qingshui Guizhi personally sent a telegram to you, saying that the enemy built multiple fortifications in advance because our strategic plan was leaked."

Hearing this, Hua Gu Zheng was actually a little complacent. His guess was right. The main force was not on the east front, nor on the west front, but broke through Hengling Pass and headed straight for Yuanqu. As long as Yuanqu was captured, the enemy could be divided and surrounded and completely annihilated.

Then he became cautious. Since Lieutenant General Shimizu Nori had raised doubts personally, there must be a problem at the front line.

"Colonel Lin, I do have the code book here, but I brought it from Tokyo and transported it all the way from Peking. The code book is usually in the safe. When I need it, I take it out myself and put it back and lock it up after use. There will definitely be no problem."

"I also trust Hanaya-kun. You're an expert in counterintelligence, and you certainly wouldn't make a mistake on such a small matter. I'm just doing a routine inspection, following orders. Can you show me the safe? I can report back to the Admiral."

Hua Guzheng nodded, "Of course."

Then Lin Ze followed him to the office converted from the study, and sure enough, the safe was right next to the desk.

Lin Ze even went up and patted it twice, "Such a piece of iron, it seems there really won't be any problems."

Hua Gu was laughing. "Colonel Lin, feel it carefully. This isn't a lump of iron. It's fine steel. Even if you bombard it with a cannonball, it might not break it apart."

Lin Ze studied it for a long time and nodded in agreement, "Then Huagu-kun, can you open it and take a look?"

Hua Gu was very angry. This Colonel Lin was taking advantage of the situation. I showed you the safe, and you still want me to open it!

Are you so disrespectful?

He stopped talking and walked forward to turn the lock on the safe. After turning it for a long time, it clicked open. Hua Guzheng stood up disdainfully and said, "Colonel Lin, you can look at it if you want. These are all confidential. Since you have access to them, I have to record them truthfully."

Lin Ze opened the cabinet door.

Then he said angrily: "Hanatani Zheng, are you making fun of me?"

Hua Guzheng was originally standing with his hands behind his back, looking very pretentious. Upon hearing this, he turned around and took one look before his expression changed drastically.

I saw that the safe was empty, where was the password book?

"Impossible! I just contacted the headquarters two days ago. I put the notebook in there myself!"

His eyes were wide open, his lips were trembling, and his hands were still groping in the safe.

"How is this possible? I clearly put it in there, and there were other files in there too. How could it disappear?"

"Am I dreaming? Am I dreaming?"

Lin Ze didn't hold back at all and slapped Hua Guzheng in the face with such force and power that his cheek became swollen.

"You're not dreaming! Hanaya Masaru! Where's the code book?"

[Code Cracking (Basic): You don't need to learn the principles of cryptography. Simply monitor the enemy's power transmissions and you'll have a chance to crack the code.]

Lin Ze was overjoyed and slapped Hua Guzheng again without hesitation.

[Unmonitorable radio station: When using this radio station to send a message, hostile forces cannot detect the signal]

Good guy!

Hanatani Masaru, the treasure boy!

Lin Ze tried a few more times, but unfortunately nothing good came out.

Hua Guzheng had been beaten into a pig's head, but he still shouted: "Impossible, this is impossible! This is impossible!"

Lin Ze snorted coldly, "Go tell the general about this!"
