Chapter 356 Untie the Horse's Reins
The goal was to capture all the Military Control Commission personnel in Chahar in one fell swoop, which was a rather systematic project.
The key to this operation is to use the connection between Suiyuan Station and Chahar Station and follow the clues based on the confessions of the arrested persons at Suiyuan Station.
In a conference room in the office area of the Chanan Administrative Committee.
Kitahara Ransuke, Kanai Shoji, Zhang Fuzhi, the chief inspector of Zhangjiazhuang Police Station, and of course Lin Ze, held a four-person meeting.
Bater was supposed to come too, but he had gastric bleeding from drinking too much and is still lying in Chanan Hospital.
Kanai Shoji handed down stacks of information and emphasized that they could only be read here and could not be taken out.
Then he introduced everyone: "The stationmaster of Suiyuan Station is called Wu Zhengyun. When he was arrested, he resisted fiercely and finally committed suicide. He was in charge of the communication between Suiyuan Station and Chahar Station. Fortunately, the liaison team leader of Suiyuan Station was turned by us. He provided several telegrams of previous communication between Suiyuan Station and Chahar Station. We may be able to make some discoveries through the telegrams."
Lin Ze understood that the destruction of Suiyuan Station was probably due to problems with the liaison team leader.
But now is not the time to kill the traitor. Things have already happened. Don't rush to kill the liaison team leader.
Zhang Fuzhi asked, "Jin Jingjun, what is the content of the telegram? Why can't I find it in the file?"
Kanai Shoji smiled awkwardly. "Inspector General Zhang has hit the nail on the head. The other information we seized can be translated through this liaison team leader, but the last few messages, the liaison team leader does not have the corresponding code book. The only translator who could possibly translate the contents of the message has been arrested by us, but she has not spoken yet."
Kitahara Ransuke frowned, "Didn't you use any tricks?"
Kanai Shoji explained: "According to the information provided by the liaison team leader, this translator is the only person who is still alive and can translate the contents of the telegram. We did torture her, but considering that she is a woman, we are worried that too strong a measure will affect her mind or even cause her to lose her life, so we mainly try to persuade her to surrender."
Lin Ze was puzzled: "Even if she cooperates, how can we be sure that what she translates is valid? If she talks nonsense, won't we have to work hard for a long time to deal with a fake telegram?"
Everyone looked at each other. The question raised by Lin Ze was indeed the most difficult one.
Kitahara Ransuke asked, "Where is the person?"
Kanai Shoji said, "In order to prevent the news from leaking out, and to prevent the Military Control Commission from killing the telegraph operator, I secretly brought her back from Suiyuan and locked her up in my mansion."
Kitahara Ransuke stood up and said, "Take me to see it."
Kanai Shoji really did not treat himself badly. His house was located at the intersection of Madaidi Street and Baiwangmiao Street. It was a large house with five entrances and exits. Next to it was the Mengjiang Bank, to the south was the First Manchuria Bank, to the east was the telephone office, and to the north was the court.
This is a five-story courtyard house I built for myself in the core location of CBD and government district.
The female telegraph operator was named Pan Shuxian, and she was imprisoned in a warehouse in the third courtyard that was converted into a prison cell and torture chamber.
Pan Shuxian was only about 27 or 28 years old, rustic and looked like a rural woman. She was tied to a stool, her face was bruised and her body was covered in blood.
Seeing someone coming in, he raised his head with difficulty, then lowered it again.
Kitahara Ransuke personally advised: "Madam, as long as you are willing to cooperate with the Empire, I can assure you that we will never treat you unfairly. We will even give you freedom. As long as this matter is over, you can go wherever you want. If you are worried about being hunted down by the Military Control Commission, we will change your identity and let you go to Manchuria. You will live a stable life. How about it?"
Pan Shuxian said nothing.
Kitahara Ransuke really found this situation difficult. Looking at the situation, he had beaten her and persuaded her, but this woman was so tough. What could he do?
He sighed, "If only Aburatsu was here."
Lin Ze almost laughed out loud. If that guy was here, this matter would probably be more troublesome than you can imagine.
Lin Ze actually hoped that the woman would not confess. If he had no clue, this matter might be left unresolved after a while and he could just treat it as a trip.
However, at night, things took a turn for the better.
News came from Suiyuan that Pan Shuyun actually had a daughter who was only a few years old. Before she was arrested, she entrusted her daughter to a local farmer, but she was still discovered.
Kanai Shoji was very excited and conducted the interrogation overnight.
Pan Shuyun endured so much torture, but when it came to her daughter's life, she still spoke up.
The contents of several telegrams are very valuable, especially one about the transfer of arms, which mentioned a location in Zhangjiazhuang.
If nothing unexpected happens, this place should be a transportation station.
This is a fur shop located on Xigou North Street.
Xigou, as the name suggests, is a canyon between two mountains. This place is a must-pass place on Zhangku Avenue. The whole street is full of fur shops. Furs from the grasslands are purchased by merchants here and then sent to various places. Therefore, the mobility of people is extremely high. No wonder Suiyuan Station placed the transportation station with Chahar Station here.
Arresting people here is different from arresting people in the city of Peking.
Not only are the people here tough, but the governance is also quite lax. Among the horse caravans and camel caravans roaming the grasslands, which one doesn't have a few quick guns?
Kitahara Ransuke immediately made arrangements, "Kanei-kun, Chief Inspector Zhang, arrange for more personnel immediately. The more the better. One team will block the east side of Xigou, and one team will bypass it and stand by in the direction of the avenue to prevent the relevant personnel from escaping!"
In addition to this major discovery about the transportation station, there was also a strange telegram that attracted everyone's attention. It only had a short line of words: Untie the horse's reins.
Kitahara Ransuke was very excited. After thinking for a long time, he called Lin Ze outside.
"Lin Sang, if nothing unexpected happens, this Junma is a senior spy of the Military Control Commission. His hidden identity should not be simple. Let Jin Jing and others handle the matter of Chahar Station. Our main task this time is to find this person. However, judging from the content of this telegram, Junma should have received the news. The task is very difficult!"
Lin Ze became alert!
It seems that the person that Kitahara Ransuke mentioned when he was at the front headquarters was Junma.
But how did the front army know about the existence of the steed?
If this clue was obtained through other channels, it would be fine. But if there is a problem with the headquarters...
Hey!
Lin Ze cursed in his heart, how unreliable!
When I get back, I have to tell Lao Ma that we can’t contact the headquarters so frequently.
