Section 1309 Confession
After the arrest scene was controlled, Okamoto Kiyofuki walked into the house. He slowly came to Zorge and announced the arrest decision in the other party's calm eyes.
"Mr. Zorg, you were arrested for suspected information provided to Red Russia. We will inform the German Embassy of this matter, but we will not hand you over to the German side."
As Okamoto made the arrest decision, several Japanese spies pressed Zorg hard, handcuffed his hands behind him, and checked his collar and teeth at the same time to prevent suicide potions from being hidden in these places.
"Ahem, Mr. Okamoto." Zorge, who felt troubled from breathing, coughed twice and pretended to be helpless: "I think this must be a misunderstanding."
"No, this is not a misunderstanding." Okamoto Kiyofuku squatted down, his tone cold: "Now please tell me who sent you the warning letter, who are you offline?"
Zorge gasped and replied while laughing: "There is no warning letter, it was sent to me by my friends, I..."
Before he finished speaking, a trace of blood spilled out of the corner of Zorge's mouth, and his eyes gradually dissipated, and the spies were immediately panicked.
Kiyofuku Okamoto reacted first. He glanced at the scene and his eyes stopped on the half of the cigarette butt.
He picked up the cigarette butt and placed it in front of his nose, squirted his other hand gently, and immediately smelled a faint smell of almonds.
"Baga! It's Yamahashi! Get first aid." Okamoto Kiyofuru roared, but his expression was still calm.
Most poisons have a lethal time and a lethal dose. As long as the poison is not intake or the treatment is properly treated, there will be no life danger.
The intelligence personnel from the General Staff received relevant training and also carried antidotes from common poisons during this trip. When he heard the order of Kiyofuku Okamoto, he immediately provided first aid to Zorge.
All the windows of the building were opened, fresh air instantly poured into the room, and a tube of isomyl nitrite inhaler was pressed against Zorge's mouth and nose.
Zorge struggled desperately to refuse treatment, but the spies firmly held his body and head, and someone even punched him in the abdomen, which made him subconsciously take a sip of the antidote.
Metallurgic protein produced by isomyl nitrite can delay the onset of cypress circulatory system in the body and create conditions for further detoxification.
Kiyofuku Okamoto sneered. He would not allow the other party to die so comfortably before confessing. The interrogation room of the Intelligence Department was ready and was waiting for the protagonist to appear.
After some first aid, Zorge's vital signs returned to a stable level. The spies tied him to a stretcher and carried him out, and took a car to return to the General Staff Headquarters.
In order to prevent Red Russian agents from robbing prisoners, Okamoto Kiyosuke deliberately arranged for the chariots of the Guards Division to escort along the way. Any suspicious persons and vehicles close to the convoy will be arrested first and then tried, causing chaos in the city of Tokyo.
When Sugiyama Sora received the news, he came downstairs to the staff building. The convoy happened to stop in the courtyard. Okamoto Kiyofuki jumped out of the car and asked the guards to close the door and strengthen his guards.
The other spies escorted the stretcher into the detention center (detention center). Zorge's mouth was blocked and he lay on the stretcher and kept twisting his body.
Sugiyama Moto frowned and walked down the steps two steps: "Okamoto, why should we arrest suspect No. 1? The intelligence network behind him is our real goal."
Okamoto Kiyoki looked ashamed and stood attentively and bowed: "Sorry, Minister, our actions were discovered by the Red Russians. Someone sent a warning letter to the No. 1 suspect, so I can only arrest people."
"Nani? Warning letter?" Sugiyama Yuan exclaimed, his head a little confused.
Surveillance of Zorge and the relevant suspects was the top secret operation he was personally responsible for. Who dared to inform the staff of the General Office?
Okamoto Kiyoki's waist bent a few times and said respectfully: "Hayi, the postman sent two letters and three postcards to the target. One of the letters was not sent by the post office, but might be a mail bag that the Red and Russian spies secretly put in the middle of the journey.
We only found one letter at the scene. After preliminary investigation, the disappearing letter has been destroyed. The evidence is the burning traces in the ashtray and the toilet has also been washed away. This is my mistake, please forgive me."
Sugiyama Yuan waved his hand and didn't care. Zorge was a professional agent and had plenty of time to react before being arrested. It was impossible to leave evidence to them. What he was curious about was another thing.
"After the letters from the Empire are sent, there will be postmarks from the post office. As a professional who delivers letters every day, the postman should be able to tell the authenticity of the postmarks. Is there really no problem with the other party?"
"Minister, this is exactly what I will say next." Okamoto Kiyoki thought of this before and also understood it accordingly. Hearing Sugiyama's question, he replied.
"According to the postman's recollection, the two letters were stamped with postmarks, and there was almost no difference between them. This shows that the Red and Russians have professional support agencies in Tokyo and can imitate various documents and seals."
Sugiyama Moto deeply agreed and kept shouting. He asked Okamoto Kiyoki to pry open Zorge's mouth as soon as possible and dig out more Red and Russian spies.
"Hayi, please rest assured, Minister." Okamoto Kiyofuki thrust his chest, assured Sugiyama Sora, and turned to the detention center.
When the two were talking just now, Miyagi and Clawson were also taken to the General Staff Headquarters. Clawson was fine, but his clothes were torn to pieces, which made him look a little embarrassed.
The situation in Miyagi was much worse. Not only was he shot on his shoulder, but his face was covered with scars, and his actions were all driven by spies.
The spy responsible for escorting him was also in a dilemma. It seemed that the arrest was not going smoothly, but the result did not change. Except for Ozaki, all the senior leaders of the Zorg team were wiped out.
Seeing the suspects being taken into custody one by one, Sugiyama Moto thought of the deal with Suzuki Kantaro, and quickly returned to his office to answer the other party's phone number and informed of the situation.
Since the plan to use Serkov as bait to capture Zorge's downline was not successful, their previous agreement will be invalidated.
The Army is not a charity hall, and it is impossible to support Lin Fuichiro as the minister of the Tripitaka Province for nothing unless the Suzuki family and Lin Fu family can provide other benefits.
After listening to Sugiyama's explanation, Suzuki Kantaro scoffed, thinking that the other party was going back on his word, and his words were quite ridiculous.
Sugiyama Moto didn't want to offend the imperial elder, so he had to ask him and Lin Fuichiro to attend the interrogation at the right time to prove that Zorge's arrest had nothing to do with Lin Fuichiro's suggestion.
Not to mention how Sora Sugiyama and Kantaro Suzuki were pulled, Miyagi in the interrogation room was slapped through the hand bone by the spy using a steel rope and hung in the air half a meter above the ground.
Under the influence of gravity, the edge of the sharp steel ropes drew his flesh and flesh bit by bit, and the bones and tendons broke. Blood gushed out of the wound like money, and soon dyed the ground red.
The screams echoed in the gloomy corridor, but the interrogators at the General Staff had long been accustomed to them, and they even took the time to have a meal.
The stove used to heat the soldering iron was burned red, drying the surrounding blood, and the air was filled with a disgusting odor.
The spies were bare-chested, sitting next to the bloody palace city, feasting, laughing wildly from time to time, and the scene was like hell on earth.
Clawson in another interrogation room accepted a more "civilized" interrogation. After all, he is a Canadian citizen and Japan does not intend to turn against Europe and the United States now, so the situation still needs to be done.
As usual, the spy asked Clawson about his true identity, code name, position and task content, and told him that he could leave as long as he confessed.
Klausson's reaction shocked everyone. When the spy threatened him with burnt charcoal, he suddenly leaned his head and bit and swallowed the charcoal that was thousands of degrees.
Scald treatment has always been a difficult problem in the medical community, not to mention that Clawson has severe burns in the mouth, throat, and esophagus, and there is almost no possibility of survival.
A few days later, Clawson, who was tortured to the point of being unhealthy, was seriously injured and died. From entering the interrogation room of the General Staff Headquarters to swallowing charcoal, he never revealed a word to the Japanese.
But Clawson's wife was a Belarusian nobleman. She was reviewed by the Red Russian intelligence department when she married Clawson. Therefore, she knew that her husband was working for the Red Russian, so the first evidence of confession appeared.
This was very unfavorable to Zorge and others. The General Staff Headquarters was like a wild dog that smelled meat, and could not wait to put the confession in front of Zorge and Miyagi.
However, even with confessions, Zorge still insisted that he was working for the newspaper, not a Red and Russian spy, and repeatedly asked to meet his friend, German ambassador.
At this time, the German ambassador was also running for Zorg's case. He did not believe that Zorg was an underground party. In order to rescue Zorg, this person even found Tojo and pleaded for mercy, but unfortunately he did not have much effect.
After consultations between the two parties, it may also be for the sake of the Japan-German alliance that Tojo allowed the German ambassador to visit, provided that Zorg recognized his spy identity.
Things fell into a vicious cycle. Zorge admitted that he could not escape death and would be detained for a long time if he did not admit it. The German ambassador angrily raised diplomatic questions and strongly demanded that Japan release its citizens.
Of course there is a reason why the Germans worked so hard. In order to gain the trust of the German government, Zorg once provided some information to the German ambassador.
When Miyagi learned about Clawson's death, he cried in a daze. Perhaps it was because of the safe time or perhaps because of the death of his companions, Miyagi spoke.
The origin of the Zorg team and the tasks that Miyagi had performed, the information they knew was revealed, but there was no list of offline sources. This is the part that Okamoto Kiyoki was most interested in.
Okamoto was convinced that the Zorg team must have a high-level insider in the top-level Japanese leadership, otherwise the leaked top-secret information would not be explained.
After sorting out Miyagi's confession, Okamoto Kiyoki decided to meet Zorg for a while. As long as the other party confesses, the spy network of the Red and Russians in Japan will collapse.
Faced with torture like a storm, Zorge lasted for a whole week, but human patience was limited. When the time came to the afternoon of the eighth day, he slowly raised his head and said a few names.
