NIS Agent Tears the Japanese Empire Episode 244

Salvation (1)

These days, Kim Won-bong has a new worry.

Well, there wasn’t a single day that Kim Won-bong, who was being chased by the Japanese Empire, didn’t have a single day without worries, but this time it was on a different level.

“I know nothing. I know nothing. I know nothing. I know nothing. I know nothing.”

“hmm.”

In front of him was Fabian, his body and mind worn out by the torture he had endured.

“Haha, French intelligence… … .”

Kim Won-bong suddenly thought that the stranger who appeared in their area was a Japanese spy.

So I tried to personally interrogate this inexperienced foreigner to get some information out of him, but guess what?

This inexperienced foreigner was better mentally armed and well-trained than he had thought, and he did not reveal what he knew even under rigorous interrogation.

So far, all he had learned from this foreigner was that he was an informant from France.

It wasn’t even accurate, since it was just an inference from the Frenchman’s mutterings as if he was talking to himself while he was tired.

However, one thing is certain.

‘This is beyond what I can handle.’

Kim Won-bong did not touch Fabian after realizing that his opponent was French.

After all, Kim Won-bong was now also a person with vested interests in the Shanghai Provisional Government.

The current Shanghai Provisional Government’s keynote was to catch the eye of various overseas powers by aligning their interests with theirs.

So, for the time being, the best thing to do was to avoid causing any major incidents and ensure that the various European powers would listen to the voice of the Shanghai Provisional Government.

however.

‘It seems like we unintentionally caused a major accident.’

Kim Won-bong wrote that he was concerned about the security of the provisional government, but somehow that ended up touching the French intelligence service.

‘Hmm. What should I do with this?’

But the thing had already happened, and there was no way to put the water that had spilled on the floor back into the cup.

Kim Won-bong was also not a person who got caught up in the past.

‘Ugh… … I have to sort this out… … .’

Right now, two opinions were sharply conflicting in Kim Won-bong’s head.

One way is to kill the intelligence agent and then throw him into the sea off Shanghai.

Anyway, there were more than one or two corpses floating in the sea off Shanghai, and some of them were foreigners, so it was not surprising that another one was added to the list.

Another way was to release him and hand him over to the French embassy.

This method is a way to apologize to the French government for their misunderstanding and ask for forgiveness… … .

‘There’s no way they’ll forgive me.’

If you were going to do something like this in the first place, you shouldn’t have gotten caught.

This is what the teacher said.

‘It’s already happened.’

The fact that the French intelligence service sent people to the provisional government meant that France and other European countries were beginning to take interest in the provisional government.

‘Why? Why now of all times?’

It was welcome that they were interested in the Provisional Government, but if you think about it calmly, there was nothing on that side that would make them interested in the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea.

No, from the beginning, all the provisional government did was argue about deciding on the path for the independence movement after it was formed by merging other provisional governments in 1919.

Then, recently, they finally decided to pursue both diplomatic and armed struggle policies, and resolved the internal divisions by dividing the party into political parties.

After that, I tried several projects with the help of this teacher, but that wasn’t enough to get their attention…

“ah!”

Only then did Kim Won-bong realize.

What I’m saying is that their goal is not a provisional government.

Their true purpose is.

“It’s because of this teacher.”

“… … .”

There is only one reason why the European powers, who had not been interested in the affairs of the East until then, are interested in it.

“I thought I’d find out if this teacher was a potential threat to them.”

“… … .”

“Hey, French boy.”

“… … .”

Kim Won-bong called him in fluent Japanese, with an expression like that of a back-alley thug.

Fabian understood what he was saying, as he worked for the intelligence agency and was fluent in several languages, but he pretended not to know.

“Are we here to find this teacher? No… … . I don’t understand if you say it like this.”

“… … .”

“Have you come to meet the ghost of Gyeongseong?”

“… … .”

Fabian, like a well-trained informant, tried not to give any information to his opponent.

“I don’t know if you’re really calm or if you’re just pretending to be calm… … but we’ll find out little by little.”

“… … Please contact the French embassy.”

“Oh. You finally opened your mouth.”

“… … I will speak with the French ambassador.”

Fabian said nothing more than to ask me to contact the French embassy.

No matter what Kim Won-bong asked, he kept his mouth shut and said nothing.

“Yeah, is this how it’s supposed to come out?”

Kim Won-bong knew very well how to open the mouths of such stubborn people.

Because there are more than one or two things he has seen and learned from this teacher.

“Okay, feel free to do whatever you want.”

Kim Won-bong, who had said that, came out and spoke quietly to the Uiyoldan member guarding the entrance.

“Don’t let that guy sleep from now on.”

“Are you asking me to interrogate you?”

“No, if you try to fall asleep, they wake you up unconditionally and make sure you can’t fall asleep.”

“All right.”

Kim Won-bong had a plan for everything.

‘I’ll keep them up at night for a few days… … Later, I’ll make them sleep well, feed them well, treat them well, and make them think that they’ve figured it all out on their own.’

Since the information was already received from this teacher, if we interrogate him based on the information we received from him, he will think that he has confessed everything.

Still not revealing the information?

‘Then, I guess I should call this teacher.’

Kim Won-bong had a plan for everything.

* * *

Meanwhile, one day in early summer, when the weather is getting warmer and you can feel summer approaching.

In Gyeongseong, a bum who seemed to have nothing to do was lying on a street corner, fanning himself with his coat unbuttoned.

“Ugh… … . I’m dying… … . Why is there no air conditioning here? Mr. Willis Carrier… … . Please open a branch in Korea too… … .”

“Another useless and strange remark.”

As he lay on the bed fanning himself madly, a woman came down with a basketful of finely cut watermelons and placed them beside him.

“It’s hot outside. Would you like some watermelon?”

“What about watermelon… … If that was the only thing that could beat the heat, everyone would have just eaten watermelon.”

The woman pushed the basket aside at the ruffian’s mild complaint.

“If you don’t want to eat, drink.”

“I didn’t say no.”

The young man sat down and took a bite of the watermelon.

As soon as I took a bite of the ripe watermelon, its cool and sweet taste filled my mouth.

“Hey… … The watermelon is ripe? Where did you get this?”

“I bought one because the market opened in Yeongdeungpo.”

“Yeongdeungpo? Why there?”

“It’s been a long time since the regular meeting of the Joseon Transportation Bureau took place. The transportation bureau members scattered throughout Joseon’s eight provinces gathered together to collect the taxes they had collected and relay information and various instructions from Shanghai.”

“Hey… … Madam, you’re busy too~ You walked all the way to Yeongdeungpo in this hot weather?”

“No, I also went there because Geoncheol gave me a ride in his car.”

“Really? That’s good.”

The young man quickly ate the watermelon and asked the madam.

“Nothing happened in Gyeongseong?”

“There was something so big going on, how could there be nothing wrong?”

“Really? What happened specifically?”

In the past few months while he was away, protests, both large and small, have been constant in Gyeongseong.

In particular, when the Dong-A Ilbo reported the great victory of the independence army against the Japanese army in the north, Gyeongseong almost turned upside down.

“Commander Shinnosuke brought troops from Yongsan and barely suppressed it.”

“Really? Then a lot of people must have died and been injured.”

“Dying? No. For some reason, the Japanese didn’t use guns, but only clubs. Thanks to that, there were quite a few injured people, but no one died.”

“Really? Is that guy Shinnosuke concerned about what other people think?”

“When did the Japanese ever pay attention to the Korean people? They all pay attention to this teacher.”

The young man smiled brightly at the madam’s words.

“But you still notice.”

“That’s true. If it were in the past, I would have just pointed guns at them and pushed them all away.”

“Kukuk.”

The teacher put his hand on Madam’s waist.

Then, Madame naturally came close to the teacher and unbuttoned his shirt one by one.

“If you don’t have a child, what happens if you untie all the hair in front of you?”

“This is called a Hawaiian shirt. It’s usually worn with the front open.”

“Hawaiian… … shirt… … ? What is that?”

“Oh, Madam, you’ve never been to Hawaii, have you? I’ll take you there sometime later.”

“Where is Hawaii again?”

“There is such a place.”

The teacher saw people passing by on the street.

In the past, they all looked no different from modern people who were tired of their daily lives, but these days, there are a few people with similar eyes.

I’m talking about people who have venom in their eyes or are overflowing with passion.

“Well… … the world has become a mess. Isn’t it, Madam?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Oh my… … I wonder what will become of this country.”

“This teacher did it all.”

“Haha, I’ve told you many times, but I just gave a little push to the people who were hesitating.”

“Yes, yes, everyone lacked courage, but the teacher gave them courage.”

“Hahaha. Right.”

The teacher laughed for a while, then fanned himself again and asked the madam.

“That guy who got crippled last time. What’s he doing now?”

“If you are a person with a cripple in his legs… …. Ah! Are you talking about Lord Linois?”

Madam, who was briefly recalling the teacher’s words, remembered a few months ago when Governor-General Saito was executed.

At that time, I thought of Lee Wan-yong, who had both his legs shattered.

“Yeah, Wan-yong. What’s he doing these days?”

“He had emergency surgery to have both his legs amputated and saved his life, but since then his anxiety has gotten so bad that he doesn’t leave the house at all.”

“Really? That’s too bad.”

“And these days, he’s in so much pain that he screams in the mansion and acts irritably towards his employees.”

“Really? Is the pain severe?”

“Yes, I heard that the painkillers you get at the hospital aren’t enough to control the pain. That’s why you’ve been using opium lately, but it seems that even opium can’t control the pain.”

“Is that so?”

The corners of Mr. Lee’s mouth went up when he heard that Lee Wan-yong was looking for medicine.

“It’s worrying that even opium can’t control the pain.”

“Yes? Are you worried?”

“Yes, even if he sold out the country, he is a great leader of the country. Isn’t it right to let him suffer like that?”

Madam looked at the teacher as if he were a crazy person.

“It’s a bit embarrassing to say this, but you were the one who made Lord Rinoie like that.”

“Oh, if I were to be exact, it was Geoncheol who did it.”

“I did it because I was ordered to do so by the teacher.”

“But there’s no blood on my hands.”

“Oh, yes.”

The fact that it was difficult to control the pain with opium imported from China or morphine, which was widely available on the market due to the poor management of the Governor-General’s Office, meant that Yi Wan-yong’s body was already addicted to these drugs.

So, no matter how much medicine you take, the pain just won’t go away.

Your body will feel a little better for now, but once the effect of the medicine wears off, you will feel all the pain you didn’t feel before.

“Then, we’ll need a specific remedy.”

“Is it a panacea?”

The teacher jumped up from his seat and asked the madam.

“Madam, are the things in my room still there?”

“It will remain as is since I haven’t touched it except for the occasional cleaning.”

“Really? That’s good.”

A long time ago, Gyeongseong’s awakened conscience.

It was time to return to Kuroda Kyuichiro.
