As an intelligence officer, James could not have known the importance of the drawing in his hand. Now, there are two ways in front of him. One way is to send the drawing directly to the US consulate, and then send the drawing directly to the United States as quickly as possible through diplomatic parcels. The other way is to forward the drawing matters to the Swiss contact station through telegram, and then wait for the instructions of the boss before deciding whether to send the drawing to the consulate.

After considering it, James decided to take cautious actions and not go to the US consulate directly. It would be too dangerous. Everyone knows that the consulate is an open intelligence collection station, and there must be many counterintelligence personnel there to follow him, so James finally decided to go and shoot a telegram.

However, before taking the telegram, James couldn't wait to unfold another piece of folded paper from his purse. This piece of paper was not a structural diagram, but a list of professors and technicians who might participate in the atomic energy research project. The handwriting was neat, but it was not very valuable to James. He had been lurking here for half a year. However, even with the assistance of the Soviet intelligence network, it was still difficult for him to buy enough suitable

The "contact person" of the university professor who betrayed this nuclear reactor drawing to him was actually just a peripheral worker of a project. Although he also provided James with this list, James did not want to take risks. The Chinese people of this era, whether they are industrialists or small vendors, whether they are officials or civilians, are extremely proud of the strong rise of their motherland. They will not become traitors who betray the interests of the motherland. People like that professor are alternatives among the people.

He hurriedly put away the drawings and lists, James took out an English novel from his luggage, flipped through it, confirmed the password, then sorted his luggage, walked to the door, put his ear behind the door and listened carefully, then gently pulled open the door and walked out, with a calm face. He greeted the other party politely when he walked into the elevator with another guest, everything seemed so normal, as if he was really just a Swiss tourist who was very interested in Chinese culture.

The hotel where James stayed was a five-star luxury hotel. The hotel has a telegram room and can send international long-distance telegrams. After James went downstairs, he first went to the hotel front desk and asked for a telegram draft. Then he started writing on the draft very naturally. On the surface, he only wrote some greetings and relayed his travels in China to his relatives and friends. But in fact, there are only two sentences that are truly valuable in this telegram. These two sentences are translated into clear code: C has begun atomic energy research, and has obtained relevant drawings and a list of some researchers.

After writing the telegram draft soon, James smiled and handed the draft to the waiter at the front desk of the hotel on duty. The waiter also smiled. Although he was a man, in James's opinion, the other party's smile was indeed impressive.

James quickly returned to the room, but when he walked into the room, he suddenly discovered something unusual. There were several strangers standing in the room, all of whom were burly men in plain clothes.

"Who are you? Why are you in my room?"

James pretended to be calm and took a step back at the same time, but before he could leave the room, someone pushed him forward and staggered. At the same time, two burly men standing in the room rushed forward and grabbed James' arm with lightning speed. At the same time, the other man walked up and handcuffed James.

"What are you doing? I'm a Swiss tourist"

James roared in French, but he did not struggle. At that moment, he vaguely understood the reason why he was handcuffed. These strong Chinese men were simply anti-intelligence personnel, and their skillful grasping actions were accurate and ruthless.

Just as James was struggling, the front desk waiter who was smiling impressively also walked into the room and handed the telegram in his hand to a leader standing in the room. The man walked to James who was pressed on the floor, bent down, shook the telegram at the "Swiss tourist" and said a few words.

"Mr. James Collins? You've been arrested. And, I'm afraid your telegram will never be sent."

While the man spoke, he showed a document and shook it in front of James's eyes. The facts were very clear. According to the eye-catching national emblem pattern on the document, this person should be a government agent of the Chinese Ministry of Internal Affairs, and this document is likely to be just a cover. It is difficult for James to determine whether the other party's true identity is an agent of the China National Intelligence Bureau. Although he did get a warning before leaving the United States and know the efficiency of China's anti-espionage organization.

After handcuffing James' hands behind him, an agent picked up the phone on the nightstand, dialed a number, and then said a code word. The other two men buckled James' mouth and wrapped his head tightly in a jacket. Then they rushed him out of the room, while the remaining people continued to collect everything they were interested in.

A few minutes later, several cars with civilian license plates stopped in the alley in front of the back door of the hotel, jumped out of the car, stood beside the car, waiting for the agents upstairs to escort James out of the kitchen operation room at the back door of the hotel, and everyone took James into the car. Then, several big men also walked down the hotel, carrying some things in their hands, all of which were found from James' room. In addition to luggage, there was also a pistol, a tube of cyanide, and several foreign novels that looked ordinary.

A group of strong men took a man wrapped in a jacket into the car, then drove away in the car, leaving only the stunned chefs in the hotel standing in front of the alley to discuss. They obviously didn't know what was going on, and some even planned to call the police, and the scene was a little confused for a moment.

The chefs didn't know that these people who looked a bit like robbers were actually government agents, and the reason why they could enjoy a peaceful and peaceful life was the result of such a group of people working hard and their work efficiency was very high.

There is nothing strange. After more than 30 years of steady development, China's military intelligence and counterintelligence departments have summarized a complete set of spy war tactics. Its establishment time was even earlier than the US Strategic Intelligence Agency and had richer experience. Such an intelligence system is enough to protect the country's strategic security. With such a group of loyal guardians who always defend the national strategic security, the people can enjoy a peaceful and peaceful life with peace and tranquility.

But those foreign spies targeted by agents did not enjoy it so much. In fact, James was very annoyed along the way. He didn't know which link was wrong. Was he exposed his own fault? Or was someone betrayed him? On the way to the agents, the international spy was thinking about this problem.

Before James could figure out the problem, the car had stopped again. Because he was covered with a jacket on his head, James could not see anything, and he didn't know where he was. He was escorted into the room, and then he was pressed on a stool. Then his eyes lit up and the jacket on his head was taken off. At this time, James finally saw clearly that he had been taken to an interrogation room. There was a soundproof panel on the wall of the room and there was only a light on the ceiling. In the corner of the room, a machine could be vaguely seen. As an international spy, James recognized the machine at a glance, which was an electric shock.

At this time, in addition to James, there were two stubborn men in the room, who were the two men who besieged him into the room. However, after entering the room, they stood behind James without saying a word. They did not retreat behind the door until the door was pushed open again, but they still did not leave the room.

"Bang"

The middle-aged man who had just walked into the room walked behind the table in front of James. Before he could sit down, he threw the few foreign novels he was holding onto the table.

"Mr. James, we are all in the same industry, so we don't have to talk around the bush. You'd better cooperate. Otherwise, you will be a member of the "missed persons" list of the US intelligence agencies in the future. As for the torture and pain on the **, I believe I don't need to remind you."

This man was actually speaking in English and had an Oxford accent, which surprised James. He instinctively realized that the person who was planning to interrogate him should not be a small character.

James didn't speak, but just looked at the foreign novels on the table, one of which was his telegram codebook, which the Chinese obviously knew.

"These novels are all good. Mark Twain is the foreign writer I admire the most. I also admire Ou Henry's novels. These novels were supposed to be the crystallization of human culture and imagination, but now they are used by American intelligence agencies to engage in sabotage activities. I am very sorry for this. I also believe that these writers do not agree with you to use their works for espionage. James, don't think that if you don't speak, we don't know what your password code is. Maybe you think that the human brain cannot calculate the rules, but I can be very confident that we will get all your passwords within a few days."

James heard the other party's words, and he knew that the reason why the other party was so confident in deciphering his password should be because of the excellent computing power of the electronic computer. In fact, the US intelligence agencies were also very interested in this. Since the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of China refused to sell it to the belligerent electronic computers, American spies were also trying to find ways to collect relevant intelligence and technology.

But then again, even with the help of electronic computers, this encoding method of hiding passwords in novels is difficult to crack.

James still didn't speak. He was still wondering why it was exposed. He had ruled out the possibility of revealing his strength just now. Now it seems that the most likely problem is on the broken intelligence network of the Soviet Union. Perhaps, those so-called "flies that escaped the net" are lurking double-faced spies. If this is the case, James probably had fallen into the sight of the Chinese counterintelligence department for a long time. The evidence was obviously in the words of the interrogator. He called him "American spies" one by one, and there were not many people who knew his true identity. The commander of the Soviet intelligence network was one.

Thinking of this, James remembered the university professor who betrayed him the information. The poor guy, for safety reasons, even hired a gangster as an intermediary, and he never showed up. It was a pity that this "safety" was very fragile and vulnerable. James even guessed that the professor might have been arrested now.

"Tell me, is your mission this time related to the 'Manhattan Project'?"

The interrogator might have seen James keep silent and was annoyed, so he simply threw out a bombshell. The bombshell did work. In an instant, James showed a surprised expression. Although it was only a momentary expression, it was captured by the other party.

Oh my God, the Chinese actually know about the "Manhattan Project" in the United States?

James was very surprised. The US intelligence agencies only speculated that China was very likely to be conducting research on atomic energy-related technologies, but the Chinese already knew the code name of the "Manhattan Project" What does this mean? Has China infiltrated intelligence officers into the "Manhattan Project" project team?
