looked at Guo Bingxun, whose eyes were like torches. Zhang Biao knew that he might be able to hide it from Chen Bo, a person who was still a stranger to him. But he can't hide Guo Bingxun himself, an old officer who is as careful as a hair, and he can't hide Yang Zhen, who has a big grin appearance, but is actually an extremely thoughtful thinker.

Zhang Biao dropped the cigarette he had smoked in his hand, lit another one, and was silent for a long time before he said: "Chief of Staff, is this sentence what you want to ask, or what the commander wants to ask?" ”

Guo Bingxun knocked on the table used to write a suicide note for him and said, "It's what I want to ask, and it's what the commander wants to ask." Because we don't believe that you are the kind of person who will be knocked down by light. ”

After listening to Guo Bingxun's words, Zhang Biao closed his eyes and was silent for a long time and said, "Chief of Staff, you can ask people to invite Minister Chen." Originally, I wanted to take these things underground and explain them to Minister Zhang, but since the commander and you want to know, I will pour beans into a bamboo tube today and say them all. Say these things, and I can easily come down. ”

"Although I only want to say these things to you alone, you can't listen to them alone, and it won't affect you well if they are passed out. Let's let Minister Chen, who was transferred from Guannai, also come, these things are also a reminder to him. It will be good for his future work. ”

Zhang Biao didn't say what he had to explain now, and even proposed that Chen Bo, the minister of social affairs of the military region, also come, but Guo Bingxun did not hesitate to send someone to find Chen Bo. In fact, he didn't need to look for it, and at this moment, he received a report from the chief of staff to see Zhang Biao, and Chen Bo, who rushed over, was outside.

Chen Bo, who is extremely experienced in anti-special affairs, realized that Zhang Biao did not say it all as soon as he got his confession. Although he had truthfully confessed all the Japanese pseudo-spy networks he knew, Chen Bo felt that at least the reason for this guy's defection was not as easy as he said.

Although the problem that Zhang Biao has already explained alone is enough for this guy to be sentenced to death a hundred times, Chen Bo is not reconciled. He always felt that there was something else hidden in this person. Chen Bo, who has been engaged in anti-special work for many years and has a lot of experience, feels that the ones he has been refusing to confess are the most deadly.

Although Chen Bo also took a variety of measures to break through this guy's mental defense. But Zhang Biao is not the kind of specially trained agent, although he is also determined in his heart, but he does not necessarily see death as home, and sometimes it is easy to pry his mouth open. For a veteran like Zhang Biao, who has been on the battlefield for a long time and has a very good heart, his methods hardly have any effect.

Originally, Chen Bo wanted to invite Yang Zhen or Guo Bingxun to meet this guy in order to break through this person's last psychological defense. But helplessly, the war was tense before, whether it was Yang Zhen or Guo Bingxun, they couldn't find time to meet this guy at all. This time, after the troops withdrew to the Xingshan fortress, Chen Bo found Li Yanping as soon as possible, hoping that the political commissar could persuade the commander or chief of staff to come and meet.

In fact, the person Chen Bo would like to come more is Guo Bingxun. Because although he has not had much contact with Guo Bingxun, with his many years of experience as an agent, he has a keen sense that although Guo Bingxun looks easy-going on the surface, he is as careful as a hair, and he can be said to be perfect in handling things.

Although he hides his edge well on weekdays, he occasionally exposes sharp eyes in his eyes, indicating that this person is not as peaceful as he seems on the outside. Compared to a commander with a slightly short-tempered temper, the chief of staff is more suitable. At least in Chen's opinion.

So after receiving the report from the guards, Chen Bo immediately rushed over. He didn't suspect that the chief of staff was also involved, but he knew that the chief of staff would definitely be able to pry open Zhang Biao's mouth when he came this time. Let the secrets hidden in his heart be exposed.

Seeing Chen Bo come in, Zhang Biao took a puff of his cigarette fiercely, and said with a somewhat painful face: "Chief of Staff, Minister Chen, your estimate is not wrong, I defected not for that woman, let alone for money." It's because I'm addicted to opium and they've got a grip on me. ”

Speaking of this, he pointed to his mutilated body and said with a wry smile: "Chief of Staff, although I picked up a life in the battle of Qunce Mountain, my body was crippled. When the wounds on my body were cloudy and rainy, they hurt terribly. This leg, in particular, has three pieces of shrapnel in it. Not to mention that it rains on a cloudy day, it hurts a lot when I walk. ”

"The painkillers prescribed by the health department were still working at first. But after a long time, the painkillers sent every day lose their effect. Even if Minister Zhang takes care of me and increases the amount for me every day, it can only last for a while. I want to increase the dose, but we only have a few seized drugs on hand. After a big battle, there are so many wounded, where may they be used by me? ”

"Chief of Staff, you also know that the painkiller itself contains morphine. I have been taking large doses for a long time, and it is simply impossible not to be addicted. At that time, I wanted to solve myself with a gun, saving myself from this sin of life that is worse than death. But when I think about it, I have to live until the day I defeat the little devil, and I'm really unwilling to die now. ”

"The painkillers weren't effective enough, so I set my sights on opium and other drugs that were stockpiled in the logistics department. I know that these things can stop the pain as long as you eat them. This drug is very addictive once you smoke it, and I know it, but I can't help it. That kind of pain is really not something that people can bear. ”

"Our troops occupied Luobei and Tangyuan, especially after the first capture of Jiamusi, and seized a large number of opium, morphine, and heroin from the Japanese puppet, all of which were stored in the logistics department. After the operation, because I was physically disabled, I was placed in a logistics department as the deputy director in charge of the storage and transportation of non-combat materials, and I had easy access to these things. ”

"At first, in order to relieve the pain, I secretly took less at a time. I don't dare to take more, because I know that in order to eliminate the poison in the base area, the commander and the political commissar are very strict about these opiums. If it weren't for these things when the troops were fighting on the outside line, they could be used as money when necessary. Those morphine health services still have to be used as medicine, and they have long been destroyed. ”

"It is precisely because of this importance that the Health Department of the Logistics Department has to count almost every month. I didn't dare to take more, I was afraid that once this matter was exposed, I would be finished. But as the addiction grows, stealing a little bit every day is no longer enough. I want to go out to the black market and have no money. The little food tail and allowance allocated every month is not enough to buy a day's supply. ”

"One time when I was having a drug addiction, I was seen by an assistant below. He was a small businessman who enlisted in the army when we first captured Jiamusi, and because of his good calculations, he was left in the transportation section by me. I didn't know at the time that he was a Japanese puppet agent, but because this man was very exciting and never made me feel sorry for him at work, I always valued him. ”

"This guy knows I'm addicted to drugs, but I don't have the money to buy opium. Sue me that he has a little money on hand, and his family has a little relationship in Luobei, so he can help me get cheaper goods from the black market. I just thought he wanted to climb up, so I didn't care. He first gave me opium, and when he saw that my addiction was growing, he got more heroin. ”

"One day in June, he told me that he had no money on hand and that he had to exchange things if he wanted to buy goods. He told me that some of them were engaged in smuggling between the base areas and the Japanese-occupied areas, and they wanted to buy some weapons to defend themselves. If I don't want money, they can offer pure heavenly refined heroin in exchange. ”

"As long as I go to the logistics department and get two pistols and 100 rounds of ammunition, I can exchange them for a month's worth of goods. I also told sù that this is for the sake of my face as a soldier, and I can't get it if I want to change the price of someone else. For a month's supply, at least ten pistols and 500 rounds of ammunition were needed. ”

He said that the Japanese army was too strict with us, and if you want to exchange these things, you can only go to Jiamusi to buy a big cigarette certificate, and then go to the tobacco house opened by the Japanese army to buy it. Not to mention expensive, the risk is still great. Now the opium business in the whole of Manchukuo was in the hands of the military police headquarters of the Kwantung Army. Except for going to the smoke house opened by the Japanese army, you can't buy it anywhere else.

"In particular, the high-purity heroin I smoked could not be bought anywhere else except in a secret factory opened by the Japanese army in Mukden. The high-quality tobacco soil that came out of the customs could not get out of the customs at all because of the strict control of the Japanese army. If it weren't for the fact that the garrison of the devil Jiamusi wanted to make extra money, opened up a channel for smuggling Henan tobacco from Guannei, and sold these goods from Mukden privately, they would not have been able to provide me with a source of goods. ”

"I felt that something was wrong, if he asked for canned food, salt, or even Western medicine, I could think it was normal, but if he wanted guns and ammunition, it was hard to say normal. I realized then that I had been fooled, and that he was on drug charges against me. But I really can't help it, once I get the drugs, it's impossible to turn back. I also quit for two days in order not to be controlled by him, but I really couldn't quit. ”

"In desperation, in the name of increasing the military literacy of the staff, training too frequently, and excessive wear and tear of weapons, I asked Political Commissar Zhang for approval and received five Japanese-style Nanbu 14 pistols and five Meiji revolvers and 200 rounds of ammunition from the Japanese pistols seized from the stockpile. Replace the two old guns we had with two and give them to him, and I'll keep the rest. When you're ready to use it again, take it out and change it. ”

"I knew it was a point of no return, and I wanted to die a few times, but I couldn't do it. I knew that when I had sucked up all the things I had gotten in exchange for enough of the indiscipline I had been shot, he would make even more demands. I wanted to hand him over several times, but after thinking about it, I still didn't dare and couldn't. ”

"Later, I thought that it was just a few small pistols, and as long as I didn't betray myself, I shouldn't be able to make a big splash. Besides, these people want weapons that don't pose a big threat such as pistols, not intelligence, maybe not Japanese puppet spies, just some armed smuggling syndicates, so I admit it. ”

"I didn't expect that when I finished smoking all this heroin, I wanted to exchange weapons and ammunition again, but his face changed. Tell me directly, you can exchange the goods if you want to, but you have to use the information to exchange them. As for the woman, she was a Japanese-Russian mixed-race, and she said that she was my wife, but in fact she was specifically used to spy on me. ”

"At this time, I have no way back but to accept it. He said that if I didn't agree, he would go to the government department to denounce me. He knows the rules on how our troops handle drug abuse and secretly selling weapons. ”

"At first, I agreed to him because I had always had illusions about prevaricating with some less important information. Don't you know that this man is very shrewd and has a great appetite, and those little information can't hide it from him at all. He first asked me about the location of the military factory, but I really didn't know. It also made me deliberately send ammunition in the front of me, deliberately sending it to the wrong place and creating chaos. ”

"It wasn't until after the campaign was launched that he asked you about the location of the wartime command post. Although I have already gone all the way to the dark, I still have some conscience. Although I don't know where your command position was during the war, my years of experience on the battlefield can make a guess based on the approximate location of the delivery of supplies. ”

"Although I was in the Sichuan Army, I was just a platoon commander. But since he was arrested at the age of 14, he has been fighting for more than ten years, and he has already become a veteran. Although you have no special requirements in life, according to Minister Zhang's requirements, your treatment is somewhat different from that of ordinary soldiers. ”

"I'm in charge of the storage of non-combat materials, and I know that every time these supplies are delivered, there are always eggs that are separate for you to replenish your nutrition. From the orientation of these eggs, I can roughly judge the location of your command post. ”

But I didn't say it, because maybe my conscience hasn't been completely extinguished. In order to deal with them, I leaked the whereabouts of the medical team. I thought that Vice Minister Zhang was not a front-line commander, although the rank was not small, but he was just a doctor, and there should be no problem with his whereabouts leaking out,"

"It's just that I didn't expect him to know that Vice Minister Zhang was the commander's fiancée, but I felt relieved that he wasn't persecuting me. However, after I told him about Vice Minister Zhang's whereabouts, although I was relieved, I was always uneasy in my heart. ”

"When I learned about Vice Minister Zhang's accident, I realized at that time that he knew the identity of Vice Minister Zhang, and that Vice Minister Zhang's sacrifice was directly related to me. I wanted to shoot him and kill myself again to apologize. ”

"After a long period of drug use, my body has been completely ruined. I, the man who hacked four devils to death with a big knife in a hand-to-hand fight, now I can't even lift a fast or slow machine. He didn't kill him, but was humiliated by him. ”

"He warned me not to try to break away from them, because there were people around me who were secretly watching me. If I do something out of the ordinary, they're finished, and I can't escape. Drug use, keeping mistresses pregnant and secretly selling weapons, that's enough for me to shoot. Especially after the incident of the Luobei County Brigade, I didn't dare to say anything. ”

"When Minister Chen led people to arrest me, I only felt relieved. It was as easy as removing a big stone. Other than that, I didn't divulge any secrets to them. The rest of the confession, it's true. ”

"But there's one thing I didn't say, I heard it when I overheard their conversation, I just didn't pay attention to it at the time. They were not from the intelligence department of the Japanese Kwantung Army, but a branch of the Japanese underworld called the Lily Society. They are not responsible for the Kwantung Army, but directly to the Japanese imperial family, and are directly controlled by a younger brother of the Japanese emperor, the prince of Chichibu Palace. ”

"Their power is very strong, and they are dedicated to plundering China's wealth for the sake of the Japanese imperial family. Not to mention the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army, even the commander of the Kwantung Army has no right to control them. This time, they came forward at the request of the Special Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army, otherwise they would only be responsible for using a single means to collect money for the Japanese imperial family. ”

"The big smoke halls in the territory of the puppet Manchukuo are under the jurisdiction of the Kwantung Army Headquarters on the surface, and most of the actual profits must be handed over to them. The tobacco and soil business in Rehe is also actually under their control. And all the brothels in the territory of the puppet Manchurians, they have thirty percent, or even fifty or sixty percent of the dry shares. The gold mines in the northeast are also controlled by them. In addition to these, they have other hidden businesses throughout China. ”

"Lily?" Hearing this name, Guo Bingxun and Chen Bo were stunned after glancing at each other. They had heard of the Black Dragon Society, but this Lily Society had never heard of it.
