Crossing the spy war, my code name is God of Wealth

Chapter 841 The less you say, the better

Chen Yang put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at Zhong Xigong and said, "Mr. Zhong Xi seems to have got the question wrong."

"Now it's not what I want to know, it's what you can say."

"My responsibility is to find out your superiors and subordinates and intercept any information that is about to leak out."

"So, as long as what you tell me is related to this, I can complete the task."

"As for whether we can catch the person, that is not my concern."

Zhong Xigong was a smart man and quickly understood the meaning of Chen Yang's words.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Minister Chen really has figured out the bureaucracy."

"If someone else were to be in charge of my interrogation, they would be eager to dig up more and more information, and the more involved the better."

"It would be best to involve all the important people in the dispatched army's top brass."

"You wish I could say as little as possible."

"You don't want to know too much?"

Chen Yang smiled, neither admitting nor denying. He just said without thinking: "I have to have benefits when doing things."

"You are a hot potato now. Fujino Hirofumi has learned his lesson. He knows that you are not ordinary. If he says anything casually, he will offend many people."

"Otherwise why would they choose to push you out at the critical moment."

"He also sees very clearly that whoever takes over what you have handed over will offend others."

“I don’t want to be the bad guy either.”

"Well, if you don't know what to say, just tell me a little about your life and your connections."

"I can also hand in my work."

"Interesting, really interesting." Zhong Xigong looked at Chen Yang with interest.

Chen Yang's style of doing things opened Zhong Xigong's eyes.

When others are interrogating someone, they hope that the other party will confess as much as possible, but Chen Yang is just the opposite. He hopes that Zhong Xigong will not say anything.

He was afraid that what he said might involve problems with the top brass of the expeditionary force.

"Well, I see. Let me start with my life story."

"Many people think that I have a special background, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today. In fact, they are all wrong."

"I was born in 1910 in Toshinari County, Mie Prefecture, Japan, into an ordinary farming family."

"You are only a few years older than Minister Chen."

"When I was 19, I had excellent test scores and was recommended by Professor Watanabe to study at the East Asia Tongwen College in Shanghai."

"The dean of this academy at that time was Prime Minister Konoe..."

Shanghai, the office of the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

Chen Yang knocked on the door of the commander's office with a thick stack of confessions.

"Mr. Nishio, Director Nakanishi has explained all the issues. This is his confession. Please review it."

Chen Yang respectfully handed the confession to Commander Xiwei.

Commander Nishio didn't seem to have had a good rest either, and a look of deep fatigue appeared on his face.

Looking at the confession handed over by Chen Yang, Commander Xiwei hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to take it.

Chen Yang quietly stepped aside and said nothing.

After reading all the confessions, Commander Nishio's expression inexplicably became much more relaxed.

Most of what Zhong Xigong confessed were his own problems, and did not involve any issues such as whether the senior leaders of the expeditionary force had any accomplices.

Even Commander Nishio was not mentioned from beginning to end.

"After a whole night of interrogation, Mr. Chen got such a confession?" Commander Nishio looked very serious.

Chen Yang nodded and said, "Mr. Nishio, Mr. Nakanishi has already confessed his problems safely. It is also clearly stated in the confession that he joined the Red Organization in 1939."

"In 1949, a year after the outbreak of the Battle of Shanghai, he secretly joined the Red Party on the recommendation of Wang Xuewen, the Red Party introducer, and formed an intelligence team with Lingze, the leader of the Red Party's Jiangsu and Zhejiang Action Group. They lurked inside the Expeditionary Force and passed on important military intelligence of the Empire to the other side from time to time."

"After I finished the interrogation, the first thing I did was to notify Colonel Takeda of the Special Agents Department to set out and hunt down the Red Party contact he had disclosed."

"I believe that Colonel Takeda will be able to bring back good news soon."

Commander Xiwei glanced at Chen Yang, his expression eased slightly, and he said in a gentle voice: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Chen."

"It seems that Nakanishi-kun still trusts you very much and told you everything."

"You should go back and rest early. The transportation department still needs your careful management."

Chen Yang bowed slightly and said, "Then I'll take my leave first."

Watching Chen Yang leave the office, Xiwei breathed a sigh of relief while holding the thick stack of confessions.

Knock, knock, knock. Chen Yang had just left Commander Xiwei's office, and soon there was a knock on the door.

Mitsuhiro Abe pushed open the office door and walked in.

"Mr. Nishio, I heard that Minister Chen has already obtained the confession."

Commander Nishio looked at Mitsuhiro Abe and handed him the confession.

"He is a smart man. He is indeed a smart man who understands the rules of the game." Abe Mitsuhiro muttered as he looked at the confessions: "None of the confessions involved any officials within the expeditionary force."

"If this confession is handed in, the people in the intelligence agency will be grateful to him again."

"It's just that, Lord Nishio, you seem a little dissatisfied."

Commander Xiwei sighed and said, "It's great that Chen-san can do this."

"This confession saved the face of most people. Even if there are any dissatisfactions in the local area, Zhongxi Jun will take all the responsibility."

"But, after all, someone still has to take responsibility."

"Since there is no problem down there, I am the one who should be held accountable."

Abe Mitsuhiro's face turned slightly surprised and he said, "Mr. Nishio, you mean..."

Commander Nishio said calmly: "I have sent a telegram to the mainland requesting punishment."

"Mr. Nakanishi's identity is special. The leader of the intelligence agency has such a big problem. As the commander, I definitely cannot shirk responsibility."

“I believe there will be a response from the local side soon.”

Abe Mitsuhiro hesitated and said, "Commander, you don't need to do this."

"Your achievements in China are obvious to all. Zhongxi Jun's affairs have nothing to do with you."

Commander Nishio shook his head and said, "Abe-kun, you are still a little immature compared to Minister Chen."

"If this matter is to end here, someone must take responsibility."

"The people below have no problem, so it can only be my problem."

"Otherwise, the Navy Department will definitely make a big fuss about this matter. Of course, you can't blame Minister Chen, he has already considered it very comprehensively."

"He wants to be a good person, so I'll help him do that."

Abe Mitsuhiro sighed and asked in a low voice: "What about Nakanishi-kun?"

Commander Nishio tapped his fingers on the desk, and after a long while he spoke slowly, "Convicted of leaking important imperial secrets, sentenced to death."

"This..." Abe Mitsuhiro was shocked...
