The Spy

Chapter 230 Evacuate Immediately
"Although you were the first to find the person, Team 2 worked diligently and they could have found the Japanese spy without you. So we are combining the cases with yours. This does not mean that only you, the team leader, are included in the case. We are combining the cases with the entire Japanese spy team."

Noticing Xiang Jiesheng's expression, Xu Qingyun took the initiative to explain.

Xiang Jason immediately understood that the section chief didn't just want Group 2 to participate, they were also involved in Group 2's cases.

Just as the section chief said, Group Two would be able to find the person even without them, and since they met each other, they would work together on the case and share all the credit.

"Don't worry, Chief. I know what to do."

Xiang Jason hurriedly replied that handling the case together meant that the two teams should work together to capture the Japanese spy group.

Then share the credit.

However, as the leader of the Japanese spy team, the first credit must go to them. They were the first to discover the other teams, and they were also the ones who led them. The people discovered by the second team were also led by them.

He could accept this result.

"Catch all the Japanese spies as soon as possible."

Xu Qingyun asked the two to leave. Both groups performed well, and he could not openly favor either one. This was the best way to deal with it.

Otherwise, no matter who it is given to, the other team members will not be convinced.

"Team Leader Xiang, you make the arrangements and we will cooperate at any time."

After going out, He Rongtang immediately said to Xiang Jiesheng. After listening to him, Xiang Jiesheng immediately understood why he came to see the section chief.

He was too nervous at the time because he was involved in the matter.

After all, Group 4 and Group 2 together put a lot of pressure on them.

"Thank you, Team Leader He."

He Rongtang clasped his fists to express his gratitude to Jason. He had to give instructions to his subordinates and there was no way he could give the person to him. Although the section chief asked Group 2 to intervene, the main credit went to them.

His purpose has been achieved.

As they found a Japanese spy team leader, good news kept coming in, and the person Hou Yigong was watching also took action.

Group 4 found another Japanese spy.

Xu Qingyun reported to Xu Zhanjie at any time, and Xu Zhanjie had a smile on his face all the time during this period.

"You handled it very well. Since it was Group Three who found the person, Group Three will take the lead, and Group Two will assist."

Xu Zhanjie praised that this student was truly impeccable and he did not expect that he could handle the issue of his subordinates so appropriately.

Both groups found people, and as you can imagine, they were reluctant to give up.

If Xu Qingyun favors Group Two, then Group Three will definitely become alienated from him in the future. It was Group Three that found the person first and had been keeping an eye on him for several days. There is no reason for them to give the person to Group Two.

It is best for those in a higher position not to have this kind of blatant favoritism.

Unfortunately, not many people in the Fruit Party understand this point, and they are all trying to promote their own people and win credit for their own people.

Sometimes they would even turn their subordinates into enemies and try to kill them.

People who actually do things are repeatedly suppressed, while those good-for-nothings with connections are able to hold high positions. It can be said that the Kuomintang is rotten to the core from top to bottom.

It is not a good idea to favor Group Three, as this will dampen the enthusiasm of the members of Group Two.

The team members below will not think so much, let alone consider their superiors. They only know that they have worked hard for so many days and discovered a more important target, but in the end, someone else found it first and it has nothing to do with them. They definitely cannot accept it.

By then, many team members will have complaints.

Even if they dare not express it, they always feel uncomfortable inside.

"Teacher, I will have a meeting with them tonight. It is very likely that they will target the same person again in the future."

"That makes sense. You can arrange this matter as you see fit."

Xu Zhanjie nodded. Xu Qingyun had already demonstrated his wisdom as a leader and handled the matter very well.

It not only prevented Group 3 from having any complaints, but also appeased the people in Group 2.

"Teacher, I'm going back first."

Xu Qingyun bowed his head and said goodbye. Xu Zhanjie saw him out and hummed a little tune to himself.

Not to mention now, even in the future, many people will sing when they are happy.

Besides, the harvest this time will be so great.

That idiot Iijima came to verify more than 20 people and left the clues to them. Once these 20 or so Japanese spies were caught, it would be another great achievement.

Not only did he have merit, but there were so many traitors to be caught.

These people have plenty of money. Even if they are Japanese spies, they have funding in Nanjing, and they always get some gains every time they raid Japanese spies.

Anything copied can be exchanged for money.

Just like their current rickshaw companies, they were originally businesses run by Japanese spies.

This time I can make a lot of money again.

Xu Qingyun has always been sensible. From the beginning to now, he has given him nearly a thousand gold bars. Even for him, this is a huge income.

He was able to make some money before, but not as fast as the house was confiscated.

Before, it was mainly gifts from subordinates and money given by others when they asked him to do things.

Just like Xu Qingshi wanted to be promoted to director, he gained a lot from it.

With both wealth and achievements, Xu Zhanjie was very satisfied.

"Chief, we found a new person, and I suspect he is not an observer."

Yan Ming ran to report to Xu Qingyun that their group four had found another person.

But this person is a little different from the previous observer.

The observers all had radios and dictionaries at home, which they used to receive instructions from Shanghai. Yan Ming secretly checked this person's home and found anti-reconnaissance devices, but no radio, so he had such suspicion.

"Whether you are an observer or not, keep an eye on him first."

Xu Qingyun didn't care much about the identity of the Japanese spies. As long as they were Japanese agents, he would not let any of them go.

In fact, the number of Japanese agents is not particularly large. They are mainly concentrated in several intelligence departments, and the quality of these intelligence departments varies greatly.

For example, the Manchurian Railway Intelligence Department, they are average.

Japan's real elite agents are concentrated in the Special Higher Section. Tsuchihara is a very capable guy who focuses on agent training. Every agent has received professional training.

The second is the Army Intelligence Department.

After catching the Army Intelligence Department agent last time, Xu Qingyun had some understanding of this department.

They also receive professional training, but it is slightly inferior to the Special High Police.

But there are quite a few of them, just not all of them are concentrated in China. Russia has also deployed a large number of people in the Northeast.

There is also the Naval Intelligence Department.

The Japanese Navy has a separate intelligence department. According to what Xu Qingyun knows, they may not even be as good as the Manchurian Railway.

There is also the Intelligence Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The personnel of this intelligence department are the most dispersed, with people all over the world, and definitely in China as well. Xu Qingyun has not encountered them yet, but if he does, he will definitely not let them go.

Dobun College, which is a Japanese school, is also an intelligence department.

Their spy abilities are average, but they are extremely dangerous. Tongwen Academy has a long history, and its predecessors were some Japanese scholars, including some ronin scholars. As early as the previous dynasty, they traveled around China, traveling all over the country.

Traveling is false, collecting intelligence is true.

They mainly collected terrain intelligence, and all roads, even rural paths, were carefully recorded by them.

They know clearly where there are rivers, where there are bridges, even the bridges on the small paths.

They also marked the woods and even the wells.

This task cannot be completed in a short period of time. The Japanese had the ambition to covet China a long time ago. Several generations walked step by step on foot and finally drew a very detailed map.

The maps they drew were many times more detailed than those drawn by the Kuomintang.

This map helped them a lot when the war started.

There are quite a few such people in Tongwen Academy, especially their predecessors, who have basically done these things.

These are considered the larger ones, there are more smaller intelligence hills.

Xu Qingyun never relaxed. He knew that he had a heavy mission. Since he came to this world and was given the identity of an intelligence officer, he had to wipe out all those Japanese spies.

This is his responsibility and mission.

"Jiming, are they keeping watch?"

Outside, Fang Laibao was asking Zheng Jiming. Zheng Jiming was making good progress and had found two people in succession.

"They kept an eye on them, but they didn't make any moves."

Speaking of Zheng Jiming, I feel a bit depressed. The people others found were used to deliver intelligence soon after, but what he found was just normal work.

If we hadn't verified that their identities were different, we wouldn't have dared to confirm their identities easily.

"Don't worry. The section chief said that intelligence work requires patience. Keep an eye on the people first and don't let them show any abnormality."

Fang Laibao smiled and comforted him, he understood Zheng Jiming's thoughts.

Zheng Jiming did not fight for power at first. He just wanted to stay with Xu Qingyun. It was the section chief who was afraid that he would hinder his future, so after he was promoted, he specially arranged for him to be the team leader.

Zheng Jiming's military rank was not high, and he did not have outstanding performance as a captain. If it were not for a few missions in which they tried to win some credit for Zheng Jiming, he would not have been promoted to lieutenant.

Including the previous second lieutenant, it was also the section chief who helped him get it.

Although Zheng Jiming did not receive a year of professional training in Hangzhou, he did receive a month of special training and was still the best in the special training class.

Now that he is outdone by so many people, he is indeed a little anxious.

"Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry."

Zheng Jiming immediately replied that he had followed Xu Qingyun for such a long time and knew very well that intelligence work could not be rushed.

In the evening, the four team leaders returned to the Military Intelligence Department together.

Xu Qingyun called them to a meeting.

"Group One reports first."

Xu Qingyun looked at Hou Yigong. This time, Group 4 was the first to win, and they caught and targeted the most people, so they were left to report last.

This meeting is to summarize and explain how to deal with the same person if he is targeted again in the future.

"Yes."

Hou Yigong sat up straight and began to report. Groups one and three were the first to intervene, but their progress was not as fast as that of Group four.

But it’s not bad. Over the past few days, they have found three people with confirmed identities, all of whom are Japanese spies.

Unfortunately, the three of them didn't make any movement, which made Hou Yigong a little anxious.

The Japanese spies are not moving, so it is impossible to determine whether they are online or whether there are observers, so it is difficult to catch them for the time being.

After the first group finished reporting, the second group followed.

Groups two and four joined later, and are currently only targeting two people. One of them is still being targeted by Group three, and they are providing assistance.

He Rongtang has sent out other people to follow Group 4's example and find people as quickly as possible. They are currently investigating more than a dozen people who need to be investigated. He Rongtang believes that there must be Japanese spies among these people.

Next came the three groups, and they also found three.

One of them was the team leader and he collided with Group 2.

The three groups together identified seven Japanese spies, which was a good result.

Finally, Fang Laibao gave the report.

The results of Group 4 were quite impressive.

The previous operation caught Firefox and wiped out Firefox and all offline players.

In the Firefox team alone, there are seven Japanese spies, Firefox and his five subordinates, as well as a new female spy.

These are the people who have been arrested. Two others are also being targeted, Zheng Jiming and Zuo Jinfang.

When Fang Laibao was reporting, the other three team leaders couldn't help but lower their heads.

Group 4 found nine Japanese spies by themselves, but even if they were combined, they were still no match for them.

It's really embarrassing.

However, they had no doubt about the strength of Group Four. Under the leadership of Xu Qingyun, Group Four had grown rapidly. The number of cases they investigated and the number of Japanese spies they captured, if taken into account in history, was greater than that of the three groups combined.

There’s nothing shameful about not being able to beat the top four groups.

"You all did a great job. Group 4 was lucky to find the Firefox first."

Xu Qingyun made a final summary, saying that we should not be too discouraging to the other three groups, since they had been working very hard and had not been lazy.

Nine plus seven means sixteen Japanese spies. Iijima only went to twenty-two places in total. Excluding one observer who had been captured by them, there are only five places that have not been found.

Investigations have already begun at all five locations, and a number of people have been screened.

Including four groups, there are suspects who are being verified.

"According to the Japanese spy, we only have clues in five places. We need to verify these places as soon as possible. Just now, each group reported their investigation and arrest process. Iijima likes to deploy people to his east, so we will focus on investigating the west area of ​​the five places."

Everyone has their own habits, and Iijima always asks his confidants to wait for him in the east.

If an accident occurs, he will flee to the east, where his confidants can more easily pick him up.

If he left the city in the east, he could escape back to Shanghai by land. If he went to other places, he would have to take a detour.

It is human nature for him to make this choice.

As a result, Xu Qingyun and the others were left with clues.

"Understood. We will adjust immediately and verify the people in the west first."

Xiang Jiesheng immediately expressed his opinion, and Xu Qingyun stood up: "The case is not over yet, thank you all for your hard work. When the case is completed, I will ask for credit for everyone."

This time, we were able to capture more than 20 Japanese spies and at least hundreds of traitors.

Such a great achievement is enough for a group of people to be promoted.

Xu Qingyun and the four team leaders have a slightly more difficult situation, but a group of captains and team members below will be promoted.

A few were promoted to major, some to lieutenant and captain, and even more to officer.

There will be fewer big-name soldiers in the future, and this is the benefit of making more contributions.

If this happens again, the entire intelligence department may even be staffed by officers.

In Shanghai, Tsuchihara secretly met with several friends.

Including Matsumoto, commander of the Shanghai Gendarmerie Command.

The two had a good relationship, and Tsuchihara was also a military police officer.

Matsumoto lent Tsuchihara a squadron of military police.

There are more than 200 of them, including more than 200 people in the Special Higher Police. With these military police around, Kitagawa and Iijima can't make any waves.

What's more, they had just arrived, and it was impossible for the people from the Shanghai Special High Police to completely obey them and fight for them to betray the empire.

The people he brought with him found out a lot of information.

After arresting Ping He, Iijima did not do anything to Wan Jinwen. No one knew how he found out about Ping He's contact with Wan Jinwen. This was very strange, and no one in the entire Shanghai Special High Section knew about it.

After Hiraga confessed, he died immediately.

The interval is very short.

Moreover, Hiraga did not confess before that. Iijima tortured him alone without letting anyone else participate. The Shanghai Special High Police had Tsuchihara's spy, and everyone knew how he interrogated Hiraga.

But one thing is certain, he did not record the interrogation. In other words, only Iijima himself knew the interrogation process.

"Chief Section Chief, we found out that there is indeed a missing juggler in Shanghai. He is good at ventriloquism."

Kawashima Akihi came to Tsuchihara's room, and after hearing what she said, Tsuchihara's eyes narrowed immediately. As expected, Iijima had someone record a fake voice.

The juggler was not missing; he was dead.

Iijima will not spare his life.

"Find out how he disappeared and who took him away."

Tsuchihara said slowly that Iijima was unforgivable and Kitagawa deserved to die. All those who deceived and concealed the truth deserved to die.

Tsuchihara has a strong desire for control and will never allow his subordinates to do things behind his back.

Not to mention this kind of thing that has no bottom line.

"Yes."

Kawashima Akihi walked away twisting her hips, while Tsuchihara lay on the sofa with his head tilted back. Now he had guessed the truth.

In order to shirk responsibility, Iijima and Kitagawa pushed Hiraga out as a scapegoat.

In this way, they only have leadership responsibility, and if they can find the traitor in time, their responsibility can be lighter and they will not be immediately removed from their position by him.

Unfortunately, they were stupid and used a method that was full of loopholes.

Both are unforgivable.

Shanghai Special High Police must replace its personnel again.

Thinking of the Shanghai Special High Section, Tsuchihara felt a headache. Two consecutive section chiefs did the same thing, deliberately killing their colleagues for the sake of their own positions.

They must plug this loophole and let everyone know that there will be no good consequences for deceiving him.

Fortunately, nothing else happened in Hangzhou.

Although Hangzhou also made mistakes and suffered losses, everything is afraid of comparison. What Hangzhou did is at least much better than Shanghai.

They successfully lured Xu Qingyun to Hangzhou, but they underestimated this young man and failed to kill him. They also lost several people and an insider.

The next afternoon, Kawashima Bihui returned.

It was not difficult to investigate a juggler. They were kidnapped by a group of Green Gang members from Shanghai. Kawashima immediately led people to capture a member of the Green Gang.

After interrogation, the other party confessed that a Japanese man found them, gave them money, and asked them to help find someone who could imitate the voice.

According to their description, this person was Iijima.

Iijima actually went out in person to look for someone.

However, Tsuchihara could understand that this matter could not be known to anyone. Iijima did not have any assassins, and he was targeting his confidants, so how could he dare to use anyone else?

Damn Iijima.

"Bring the people with you, we are going to the Shanghai Special High Section."

After finding out the truth, Tsuchihara stopped waiting and immediately borrowed the squadron from the gendarmerie and went directly to the Shanghai Special High Section.

"Chief, this is bad. Many military police are rushing in."

Beichuan was in the office when his secretary rushed in. Beichuan immediately stood up and stood there in a daze.

Why would the military police break into their Special High Police?

Although the Special High Police are military personnel, they have a special status and are an intelligence department. The military police have limited control over them and their main responsibility is to supervise the military.

"Go out and see."

The military police rushed in. Kitagawa had no choice but to ignore it, so he ran out immediately. As soon as he came out, he saw Iijima who was rushing over.

When he heard that the military police had rushed in, Iijima was a little confused.

"Section Chief, what happened? Why are the military police here?"

Iijima asked anxiously. He had indeed committed a crime during this period and framed Hiraga. He was guilty and was afraid that the military police knew about it and came to arrest him.

"It has nothing to do with you. We'll find out if we ask."

Kitagawa shook his head. The more he looked at Iijima, the more he disliked him.

Iijima was so concerned that he was confused. Even if his attempt to frame Hiraga was discovered, it would be the headquarters that would handle it, not the military police.

Maybe someone else committed a crime or offended the military police.

Fortunately, the relationship between their Special High Police and the Military Police has always been good, so unless it is a big deal, they can always settle the matter peacefully.

It’s a big deal. At worst, we can just abandon the offender.

"Section Chief Kitagawa."

As soon as Kitagawa came down, he saw Mihara, the captain of the gendarmerie headquarters who was leading the team. When he took office, he had invited a fellow Japanese officer in Shanghai, and the two had met.

"Captain Mihara, what are you doing?"

Mihara was a colonel like him. Tsuchihara borrowed a squadron, but the one who led the team was the battalion commander. Tsuchihara's rank was too high, so Matsumoto specially arranged for the battalion commander to come and help in person.

"Take it."

A familiar voice suddenly came from inside the car. Kitagawa was slightly stunned. The military police next to him immediately stepped forward and pinned him, Iijima, and his secretary down.

Only after the gun on his body was found did Tsuchihara get out of the car.

"Chief Section Chief."

When Kitagawa saw Tsuchihara, he was completely dumbfounded, and Iijima just stood there, shaking uncontrollably.

Why is the chief section chief here?

What is he here for?
You don't have to guess the answer. They must be here to check on him. The last report failed to deceive the chief, so he became suspicious.

Just like Kawashima before, it was Tsuchihara who came in person.

"Take them to the interrogation room."

Tsuchihara glared at them fiercely and asked one of his confidants to temporarily take over the Shanghai Special High Section. The operations team leader, who was also Kitagawa's confidant, was placed under house arrest.

Tuyuan would not allow any chaos to occur in the Shanghai Special High Section.

After being taken into the interrogation room, Iijima was hung up.

He was shaking even more violently.

Beichuan was not much better than him. Although he was not hung, he was controlled and unable to move.

"Iijima, I'm going to ask you one last time, how did Hiraga die?"

Tsuchihara didn't sit down, but stared at Iijima. Iijima's heartbeat suddenly accelerated to 200 and he almost fainted.

The thing he feared and worried about the most finally happened.

"General, Chief, Hiraga betrayed the Empire..."

"Call me."

Tsuchihara gave Iijima one last chance. Since Iijima didn't want it, he wouldn't be polite anymore. After a round of whipping, Iijima howled in pain and begged for mercy, but he still insisted that Hiraga had betrayed him.

"The electric chair."

Tsuchihara didn't believe a word he said and had him put on the electric chair.

Iijima was unwilling to admit it because he understood the consequences of admitting it. Admitting it would mean death, but not admitting it might leave him a glimmer of hope.

On the electric chair, Iijima finally couldn't bear it anymore and admitted that Hiraga was murdered by him.

He went to Nanjing on a mission to verify who the ninth person who was captured was, and it turned out that seven people were captured by the Chinese.

This is a huge responsibility and he doesn't want to take it, but he is also afraid of being fired if he does.

He knew Beichuan, and knew that Beichuan would protect himself, not him.

"Stop, I said."

On the electric chair, Iijima finally couldn't hold on any longer. He would rather die than endure such pain.

Kitagawa looked at Tsuchihara with fear in his eyes.

Once Iijima confesses that he knows about Hiraga, the section chief will never forgive him given his personality. Now he can only pray that Iijima wants to take care of his family himself and take the initiative to take care of everything.

Otherwise he will die.

"What happened with Hiraga?"

Tsuchihara asked coldly. Iijima lowered his head and said slowly, "When I came back from Nanjing after completing the mission, I don't know how they were exposed. I left Hiraga to inform the others to evacuate, and I left two hours in advance..."

"Later, when I reported to the section chief, could I report directly without recording it?"

"When did you report?"

Kitagawa spoke hurriedly and glared at Iijima fiercely. This damn guy didn't even think about protecting himself and took the initiative to tell everything.

"Gag his mouth."

Tsuchihara had long guessed that Kitagawa knew about it, otherwise Iijima would not have dared to do so.

There was a strange smile on Iijima's face. He was going to die, but Kitagawa couldn't think of living. If Kitagawa didn't want him to take the blame, why would he do this?

We'll die together anyway.

Beichuan was already under control, his mouth was blocked, and he couldn't utter a word.

"Beichuan hinted to me that I should record a false confession, so I went to find someone. Shanghai is so big, I can definitely find someone who can imitate someone else's voice."

"is it him?"

Tsuchihara asked someone to bring someone in. The person came in cautiously and was stunned when he saw Iijima.

"He asked me to do it. It's none of my business. I really don't know where he is."

Before Iijima could say anything, the Green Gang disciple who came in shouted loudly, saying that he was unlucky because he caught a juggler and ended up hurting himself.

"As expected of the chief section chief."

Iijima smiled and shook his head. It turned out that the chief section chief had even thought of asking him to record a false confession and had found the person who did it.

His death was not unjust this time.

"I killed the juggler and threw him into the river. Then I came back and killed Hiraga, and asked Kitagawa to report."

Iijima explained everything, and it was basically consistent with what Tsuchihara had thought before, with no major differences.

Damn Iijima, if he had taken the blame, he would at most have been dismissed from his post. But now, Hiraga was unjustly killed, and both he and Kitagawa are doomed.

"Why were you exposed in Nanjing?"

Tsuchihara suddenly asked that in addition to investigating the case of Pinghe's injustice, he also wanted to find out what was going on with the Shanghai Special High Section recently.

"Chief Section Chief, I really don't know about this. Sometimes I wonder if the Chinese can tell fortunes and if they can tell us."

Iijima shook his head. If he knew how he was exposed, he would have patched it long ago.

"Tell me everything you did in Nanjing."

Tsuchihara had no intention of letting him go. He wanted to find out all the details, otherwise how would he send people to Nanjing in the future.

Nanjing is the most important, and intelligence work there continues to receive attention.

"Yes……"

Iijima recounted in detail what happened after he brought his men to Nanjing, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Tsuchihara.

"You just said that every time you asked a team member to investigate, you watched from the bottom of the secret, and then arranged two people to support you in secret?"

"That's right. All the people who have been investigated have returned to prevent them from leaking information."

Iijima nodded, not understanding why the chief asked that.

"idiot."

Tu Yuan cursed angrily. He brought two people around, but only one, Ping He, came back. The other one must have been caught.

Tsuchihara never imagined that Iijima would be so afraid of death and so cautious. He asked others to verify that he actually didn't need to bring so many people. Only two people would be safer.

With so many Imperial agents captured, the more people he brought with him, the greater the risk of exposure.

It is very likely that the people he brought were discovered by the rebellious agents and thus found them.

The key point is that every time Iijima went to verify, he had someone waiting not far away.

Once the captured person betrays, the Chinese will immediately know that there is something fishy going on here.

He did not look down on the Chinese, especially now that there was a powerful young man in Nanjing who had arrested many of them.

The Chinese will inevitably investigate these places.

It’s a pity that Tsuchihara doesn’t know how to tell fortunes, and he didn’t know that Iijima would do such a stupid thing.

Otherwise he would definitely order these people to move first, or withdraw directly.

Now that so much time has passed, I wonder if anyone has been caught by the Chinese.

These were all the most important undercover personnel. That damn Iijima actually started with the important people first and then investigated the observers, only to find out that it was the observers who were arrested.

If he had verified the observer at the beginning, nothing would have happened later.

"Chief Section Chief, are you worried about the person who was caught? He doesn't know where our undercover personnel are."

Iijima asked in a daze, and Tsuchihara suddenly stood up, walked over and kicked him.

It is easy to imagine how Tu Yuan felt at the moment, as he was so angry that he lost his composure.

"Immediately find a way to notify them and find a reason to come to Shanghai."

Dohara was so angry that his heart ached. Damn Iijima. After so many years of planning, the intelligence network he had finally built in Nanjing might be completely lost because of Iijima's mistakes.

Even if Hiraga's incident hadn't happened, Tsuchihara would never have let him go.

Give the order now and ask them to return to Shanghai immediately, regardless of whether they have been discovered or not. Safety comes first.

Tsuchihara was personally in charge of the Shanghai Special High Section, while the people here were trying to find a way to notify the people in Nanjing.

Immediately, Tsuchihara received bad news.

There was a team that was supposed to report intelligence in the next two days, but there has been no contact.

This is not a fixed contact time. The fixed contact is to report safety. Normally, they will report if they have intelligence, and it will be fine if they don’t. After all, undercover agents cannot get important intelligence every month.

One less contact means they can be safer.

So the group did not send a message this time, and people in Shanghai did not pay much attention to it.

"How many observers are there in Nanjing?"

Tsuchihara understood that what he was worried about might have happened, and he now had to understand the situation in Nanjing immediately.

"There is only one observer left from the first group, and four from the second group."

"Have the first batch of observers ever been activated?"

Tsuchihara asked again, and the deputy head of the intelligence team nodded slightly. Iijima was the observer, but he knew a little bit.

The deputy team leader was neither from Iijima nor from Kitagawa, but a former veteran of the Shanghai Special High Section.

Beichuan cannot replace all the people, but after Beichuan came, the deputy team leader basically lost any real power.

"Activate the second group of observers and have them send out an emergency evacuation signal."

Tsuchihara was very decisive. He would not use the remaining one from the first batch regardless of whether anything had happened or not. Since the second batch had never been started, he would use them.
