The Spy

Chapter 323 Come Two, Catch a Pair

After beating up the inspector, Jingkou and his men immediately headed for the International Settlement.

There are two more targets here. The one we want to beat in the International Settlement is not a policeman, so there is no need to evacuate immediately after the beating. But if we beat a detective, it is better to leave early to avoid being discovered.

Xu Qingyun didn't ask much of them, the only thing was that they couldn't reveal their identities.

Jingkou and his men were all special agents. They conducted a detailed investigation before the operation. The operation in the International Settlement was very successful. A foreign comprador and another Green Gang thug were both beaten badly.

The six Japanese were efficient and evacuated immediately after completing the operation to ensure their own safety.

"Has the person been found?"

In the French Concession Hospital, Inspector Yang, with a bruised face and nose, asked weakly. After being sent to the hospital, he arranged for his men to investigate the crazy bandits.

These people must be found. He wants to see who is so bold as to target him.

How could he go to work normally and get beaten up on the road? After examination by the doctor, it was found that four teeth were lost, there were several cuts on his head, his arm was broken, and there was almost no healthy part of his body.

Although he had no fatal injuries, he looked extremely miserable.

Inspector Yang couldn't figure out who he had an enemy with to be so cruel.

"Boss, the brothers are all looking for them, don't worry, they must have escaped."

The subordinates responded hastily, saying that the person could not escape, and that two operations had already been completed in the International Settlement.

"Look for help from other police officers and members of the Green Gang. Find them. You must find them for me."

Inspector Yang yelled, then grimaced again. He yelled so loudly that it pulled at his wound, causing him excruciating pain.

"Yes, we'll go right away."

The subordinates left in a hurry. Many of Inspector Yang's subordinates gloated over the beating. Usually, Inspector Yang was stingy and greedy. They had done a lot of work under Inspector Yang, but got no benefits.

Now seeing the inspector being beaten into such a miserable state, many people secretly laughed and were even less serious in investigating the case.

Just deal with it and don't let the inspector get any evidence against them.

The people from Jingkou who returned to Nanshi were not idle. They also had targets in Nanshi, and they quickly attacked three more targets.

Six people were beaten in one day.

For them, this is child's play. Killing people is easier than beating them. They killed many Japanese in Wuhan.

Several of them have become Xu Qingyun's thugs and killers.

The foreign comprador in the International Settlement was beaten badly. The foreigners behind him were quite powerful and were furious. The police from the International Settlement were quickly dispatched.

Xu Fuzhong was standing in front of the window, looking at the policeman running hurriedly outside and shaking his head slightly.

Things have been turbulent recently. I wonder how the young master is doing now.

He is a member of the Xu family and knows that Xu Qingyun is currently the station chief of the Shanghai station. This time it is a fight between them and Japanese agents. Xu Fuzhong is very worried about the safety of the young master.

He and Ma Xiangshun knew best that the business could do without anyone, but nothing could happen to the young master.

The company's current success is all thanks to the young master, and they just did what he asked.

The reason they were able to squeeze other businesses out of business, or even put them out of business, was all due to the tricks the young master gave them. Facts have proved that the actions that they originally did not understand, turned out to be surprisingly effective once they were carried out.

There has been a lot of buzz in the concession these days, saying that the Military Intelligence Department suffered a loss at the hands of the Shanghai Special High Section. The Military Intelligence Department did not dare to cause trouble for the Special High Section, so it took action against ordinary people.

It disappoints many Chinese people.

However, Xu Fuzhong understood that the young master was extremely smart, and having captured so many Japanese agents, he would never give in to the Special High Police, and there must be more tricks up his sleeve.

As a result, news came today that people were beaten in both the French Concession and the International Settlement.

There were not many people beaten this time, but they all had certain status. The most important point was that they did not have a good relationship with the Japanese, especially the inspector in the French Concession. It seemed like the Japanese were taking revenge on him.

He is not the only one who has this idea.

"You mean the Japanese did it?"

Inside the hospital, Inspector Yang's eyes widened. His men failed to find the person, but they found some clues.

First, after beating him up, the men immediately left the French Concession, but he came to the hospital first and then ordered his men to arrest people. By that time, the people had already arrived in the International Settlement.

Secondly, they are not tall.

Their methods and style are very similar to those of Japanese soldiers.

Soldiers from every country have their own characteristics. Japanese soldiers are well-trained and more capable. In terms of individual combat in Asia, there are not many who can compare with the Japanese.

The most important point is that based on the description of their appearance, some people found that they were similar to some people in the Special Higher Police.

All signs indicate that Inspector Yang was beaten as revenge by the Japanese.

News soon came from various sources that there was only Inspector Yang in the French Concession, and a comprador and a small gang leader were beaten up in the International Settlement.

The police and thugs have already flooded the streets, searching for these people.

They still had no clues when news of someone being beaten up spread again in South City.

This time it was the officials who were beaten.

None of the targets chosen by Xu Qingyun are good people. Not to mention they are bad to the point of being wicked, but they are all people who exploit the people and have never done any good things.

However, they all had one thing in common, which was that they did not fight too closely with the Japanese.

Selecting people requires skill. If they are all Japanese lackeys, even a fool would know that it was not done by the Japanese.

"Damn it. Ouch."

Inspector Yang slammed the bed in anger and cried out in pain again. The Japanese wanted to retaliate against the Chinese agents. Are they going to settle accounts with them?
What's the point of taking your anger out on yourself?

What did he do to deserve such bad luck?

Those damn Japanese must not be allowed to have an easy time. And the Chinese agents must never be allowed to continue causing trouble in their own territory, otherwise this kind of thing may happen again.

His medical expenses must be reimbursed by these people, one share per person.

"Head, what do we do now?"

Inspector Yang's trusted subordinate asked carefully. If Inspector Yang was in trouble, he would help wholeheartedly and was afraid that something might happen to Inspector Yang.

"Call the Japanese and Military Intelligence and ask them to give me an explanation."

Inspector Yang shouted angrily, but this time he didn't dare to be too loud to avoid pulling the wound again.

He had just lost four teeth, and his words were not very clear due to the leak. Fortunately, his confidant was smart and understood what he meant, so he quickly called to question him.

The Japanese received their call first.

It was Ishida's secretary who answered the phone, and she hung up before he could finish speaking.

It was Zhao San who answered the phone at the Military Intelligence Department. He said a few words of comfort, then turned around and spat after hanging up.

A young detective from a police station, does he really take himself seriously?

Who does he think he is to ask Shanghai Station to give him an explanation?
"Ignore him."

After listening to what Zhao San said, Xu Qingyun smiled and shook his head. The person who called said that they had a dispute with the Japanese, and their inspector was implicated, so they wanted them to pay medical expenses and compensation.

The lion opened his mouth and asked for a thousand dollars.

Is this detective stupid? A thousand dollars can easily cost him his life if he is found by a few gangsters.

It was right to hit him, he deserved it.

"Yes."

Zhao San left with a smile. He came to report purely as a joke.

Secretary Ishida of the Special Higher Section also gave a report.

Suzuki was also there. Today, six consecutive attacks occurred in the French Concession, the International Settlement and South City. All signs indicated that this was their counterattack against the Chinese, but Suzuki knew that they did nothing.

If he really did this, he would have to tell the section chief and would never dare to act on his own.

Even though he is a confidant, if he doesn't obey, the section chief may abandon him at any time.

"A clown, ignore him."

Ishida didn't even listen to Inspector Yang's request, and wanted to ask him for a thousand dollars in compensation. How could that be possible?

I won't give him a penny.

Not to mention an ordinary police inspector, even if the chief inspector came, Ishida would not give him money, because they did not do this at all.

"Section Chief, it's obvious that everyone now thinks we are fighting back. What does Xu Qingyun want to do?"

Suzuki asked in a low voice, since they didn't do it, it must be related to Xu Qingyun.

"What else can he want to do? He's just throwing dirty water on me. It doesn't matter. The more he does this, the more it proves that he has run out of tricks and can only use some small tricks."

Ishida smiled and shook his head, not caring at all about it, framing them and making people think it was their revenge?

No matter what Xu Qingyun does, he just needs to not respond?

Moreover, he couldn't say anything at this time. Others already suspected that it was them who did it. The more he explained, the more trouble he would cause. He didn't give Xu Qingyun any response and wait and see what he would do.

"Section Chief, will this help us make more enemies?"

Suzuki asked worriedly, even though not many people were beaten, the noise was quite loud, especially at the police station. The French Concession and the International Settlement were both looking for their people.

So much so that their agents lurking in the concession have to be careful now.

"It's okay, just continue doing your thing and ignore them?"

Ishida shook his head. Xu Qingyun first took revenge on some unimportant people, and then sent people to disguise as them to retaliate, deliberately making enemies for them.

He knew very well Xu Qingyun's purpose, which was to disgust him on purpose.

How could he be fooled by such a childish trick? He would not react at all and even hoped that Xu Qingyun would continue to do it.

When he finds evidence that all this was done by Xu Qingyun and makes it public, let's see what he will do then?
Having offended so many people, the pressure from these people alone is enough to make Xu Qingyun overwhelmed.

Jingkou and his men were still in action, and it lasted for three days.

They changed their appearances every day and ran to several places. All the police officers in the two concessions took to the streets, determined to catch them.

It's not that easy to catch an agent, let alone an agent in disguise.

Jingkou and his men were very careful. The operation ended three days later. They were praised by Xu Qingyun himself and were allowed to hide and rest. They were not allowed to live in Shanghai Station for the time being.

"It wasn't us. I don't need an explanation."

Ishita hangs up the phone, this is the fourth call he has received.

In three days, Iguchi and his companions retaliated against nearly twenty people of high status. They united to put pressure on the Japanese Concession.

The upper echelons of the Japanese Concession could not ignore their relationship with the French Concession and the International Settlement, so they went to Ishida for advice.

Ishida was a proud person and only said that he did not do it. He did not give any other explanation, which made many senior officials in the Japanese Concession dissatisfied.

Some people even questioned Tsuchihara.

"Suzuki, find those people immediately and arrest them."

Ishida finally realized that things were not as he thought, or he had oversimplified the problem.

Xu Qingyun's purpose was most likely not to disgust him, but to create pressure from his superiors by causing him trouble.

Ishida is indeed smart and guessed the truth, but it is a little late. Now is just the beginning. If he does not respond, those people will not let it go.

The people who were retaliated against by Iguchi this time involved many important countries such as Britain, France, Italy, Germany, etc. The consuls of these countries have all received complaints and are putting pressure on the Japanese Consul General.

With so many major countries blaming each other, it would become a serious diplomatic incident if not handled properly.

And all this pressure will eventually fall on Ishida.

"Stationmaster, just as you guessed, Ishida didn't make any move. Now he is in trouble."

Zhao San had been paying attention to the situation outside. After learning that the consuls of several countries had contacted the Japanese Consul General, he immediately came to report with a smile.

"Ishida's noble birth and strong professional ability have made him arrogant. Unfortunately, he has a shortcoming."

Xu Qingyun smiled and nodded, noting that Ishida would be in big trouble. Even if he wanted to find Jingkou, he would not be able to find him. At this time, Jingkou and the others were not in Shanghai at all. They were hidden somewhere else by Xu Qingyun.

If the murderer is not caught, the pressure will only increase unless he comes forward to apologize and compensate.

Given his personality, there is no possibility of an apology or compensation.

Ishida will not have an easy time for at least some time from now on.

"What shortcomings?" Zhao San asked curiously.

Xu Qingyun glanced at him and replied calmly: "Political means."

Ishida is a professional intelligence officer, and his abilities are indeed much better than the previous heads of the Shanghai Special High Section. Xu Qingyun doesn't care about the previous ones at all.

It was Ishida who caused him some considerable trouble.

But Ishida is not omnipotent. He is almost a complete novice in political ability. He has been promoted only because of his family and military achievements. If he were more politically mature, he would not be fooled by Tsuchihara and run to China to compete with him.

Since he was here, Xu Qingyun had no intention of letting him go back.

"I understand."

Zhao San suddenly realized that the webmaster was right. Ishida was a good person, but his political ability was too poor, otherwise he would not have been unresponsive for several days until he was under pressure.

In this regard, their stationmaster completely beats Ishida.

Just look at the webmaster's current relationship with various high-level officials and you will know that although the webmaster's rank is not high, there are not many people in the country who can or dare to touch him.

This is the biggest difference between the two.

Ishida would not be a match for the station chief at all. Zhao San believed that as long as Ishida stayed in Shanghai, it would not be long before he would end up like the previous chiefs of the Special High Section.

"asshole."

Shanghai Special High Police, Ishida rarely got angry.

Many high-ranking officials in the Japanese Concession repeatedly approached him, asking him to apologize and calm the matter down, both explicitly and implicitly.

He didn't do it, why is he apologizing?
Are these people all fools? Can't they see that Xu Qingyun deliberately framed him? If he wants to take revenge, he won't take revenge on these meaningless people. He will definitely go directly to Xu Qingyun.

Ishida forgot at this moment that there were people who wanted to attack Xu Qingyun a long time ago, and his boss Tsuchihara was one of them. Unfortunately, he had never succeeded.

"Section Chief, please calm down."

The secretary was packing up things carefully. He was Ishida's confidant brought from China and knew Ishida best. It was very rare for Ishida to get angry like this.

It seems that the Chinese man really pissed off the section chief.

"A bunch of idiots who can't see that it's a conspiracy and are actually helping the enemy."

How could Ishida calm down? He continued to curse, saying that many people had put pressure on him recently, and all of them were much higher than him in level.

Even Tsuchihara sent a telegram to inquire about the situation and tactfully asked him to resolve the problem as soon as possible.

"Is Suzuki back?"

Ishida suddenly asked. With his personality, there was only one way to settle the matter, which was to catch the real culprit and let everyone know the truth.

It would be harder to apologize when wronged than to kill him. "Not yet."

The secretary lowered his head and replied that Suzuki had been out tracking down the real murderer, leaving early and returning late, and was not in the office at the moment.

"Tell him to come to me immediately when he returns."

Ishida waved his hands and vented his anger, feeling a little better, but the nausea remained.

Damn Xu Qingyun, such a dirty villain.

Since he couldn't defeat him head-on, he resorted to such despicable and shameless means. He was determined to make Xu Qingyun die miserably.

Suzuki came back in the evening and went to Ishida's residence as soon as he arrived.

"did you find it?"

Ishida asked directly, Suzuki lowered his head and said, "I am incompetent. There are six of them in total. I found out that they went to South City in the end. I haven't found out where they lived and where they went yet."

Suzuki already knew that the section chief was very angry today and understood the importance of his current task.

If the person cannot be caught, the section chief will probably get angry and even implicate him.

"Keep looking. I'll give you three more days. If you're still alive, you must find the person. If he's dead, you must find his body."

Sure enough, Ishida said bluntly next. Suzuki did not dare to refute and immediately lowered his head: "Hai."

The section chief was really angry, and he absolutely could not complain or make excuses at this time.

But it is not easy to find the people in three days. This is Shanghai, not a small mountain village. Shanghai has a population of four million. Finding a few people is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, the forces were so diverse and complex that he was unable to investigate many places.

For example, if they hid in the Military Intelligence Department, Suzuki would have no way to stop them.

"Even if we can't catch them, we have to find out where they are and take photos if possible."

Ishida added, seeming to understand that it would be difficult to catch someone in three days, and did not put that much pressure on Suzuki.

But even so, Suzuki still has no confidence in completing the task.

"Hay."

Suzuki lowered his head and accepted the order. He had to accept it first. According to the section chief's request, he had to confirm where the person was first.

He doesn't even know where the people are, that's his incompetence.

"Go."

Ishida waved his hands. In fact, what made him most angry were those corrupt bureaucrats. In his mind, the upper class people in the Japanese Concession were just like that.

They spend their days in debauchery, and the problem is not that they think about how to protect their own people, but that they are obsessed with balance.

What's the balance?
Fortunately, he did not do anything stupid this time. Although he had a noble status, those who could hold high positions in the Japanese Concession were not bad people themselves. Some of them were no worse than his father. If these people united, their entire family would have to avoid their limelight.

He is still young and has the opportunity to continue to be promoted. When he is promoted to a high position, even becoming prime minister, he must correct this phenomenon and develop the empire into the world's number one power.

"Stationmaster, good news, there is a discovery."

Yan Ming came to Xu Qingyun's office and said excitedly that after the photos were distributed last time, everyone in the station was very active and gave the photos to their family and friends to take careful notes.

It finally paid off yesterday.

A member of the general affairs team came to report that a person similar to the one in the photo went to see his younger brother and asked his younger brother to help transport a batch of items and offered a very high freight.

The younger brother of this team member mainly does horse-drawn carriage transportation, helping people transport things, similar to truck drivers in later generations, and earns money through hard work.

The goods to be transported were from Qingpu to the French Concession. The man gave him ten dollars for this distance. Such freight was absolutely a sky-high price for him, much higher than usual.

After feeling something was wrong, he recalled carefully and found that the person looking for him looked very similar to the person in one of the photos.

This photo is a sketch of one of the two people who had previously looked for Yang Gouzi.

After receiving the report, Yan Ming immediately launched an investigation.

It was discovered that the things the man wanted to transport did exist, but they were a batch of contraband. It was obvious that the Japanese wanted to transport the contraband and then attack him in the concession in order to force him to do something.

Yan Ming went to meet the team member's younger brother in person and visited several people he had met.

In particular, they asked Yang Gouzi's subordinates to identify the person together with the people who had seen him, and finally confirmed that it was the Japanese spy.

He is one of the murderers who killed Yang Gouzi, and it means a lot to catch him.

"No need to wait, as soon as the person appears again, arrest him."

After listening to the report, Xu Qingyun immediately said that the Japanese spies had finally appeared and that special treatment was required in special periods. These Japanese spies were very cunning and would hide in the Japanese concession after finishing their mission, where they could not keep an eye on people.

What's more, their purpose is to incite rebellion. Knowing their purpose, there is no need to keep an eye on them.

"Yes, I'll ask Shang Wenzheng and Kang Yunzhou to go together."

Yan Ming nodded. Kang Yunzhou was determined to avenge his brother, so he took him with him and let him catch the man himself.

So many people are well prepared, and the other side only has one person, or at most two. Yan Ming is fully confident that he can capture him alive.

"it is good."

Xu Qingyun had no objection and let Kang Yunzhou catch the person himself.

This executioner among Japanese spies will never be able to escape if he shows up again.

In the morning, Murata came to a small town in Qingpu.

The target has agreed to help him transport the goods, which will arrive today. He has smuggled things in this batch of goods that are not allowed in the concession. Once discovered, the driver will definitely be arrested.

He had already bribed the police, and he was confident that he could completely control the driver as long as he caught the man.

Then they used a trap to lure the member of the General Affairs Group of Shanghai Station into the trap.

He had absolute confidence in the mission, and the reason for Yang Gouzi's failure was not his. The section chief said that he did not expect Yang Gouzi to be so loyal and did not blame them.

They did a great job, they just chose the wrong person.

He investigated this target for a long time and it was impossible for him to be someone like Yang Gouzi. The failure from last time would not happen again.

"Team Leader Fu, the target has appeared."

After receiving the report from his subordinates, Yan Ming immediately told Fu Wenzheng that Fu Wenzheng had brought twenty people to arrest people this time and specifically put Kang Yunzhou in charge.

Kang Yunzhou was very grateful. Fortunately, the stationmaster had been replaced. If it were Yu Hongyu, he would not have given him such great support.

"Yun Zhou, I want to stay alive. Can you do it?"

Fu Wenzheng said to Kang Yunzhou, who nodded immediately: "Don't worry, Team Leader, I guarantee he'll be alive. I don't want him to die so easily."

He was speaking the truth. It would be too easy for the person who killed Yang Gouzi to be killed directly. He must be captured alive.

"Okay, get ready for action."

Fu Wenzhen nodded. This arrest will be led by Kang Yunzhou, and he and Yan Ming will be waiting behind.

Wait for their good news.

Seeing the coachman driving the carriage towards him, Murata smiled proudly.

These Chinese are just stupid. They can be bought off with a little bit of profit. If all of China were filled with people like this, it would be easy for the empire to occupy this vast land.

The driver also noticed him and became even more excited.

Two hundred French francs! My brother said that if the person who reports this time is a Japanese spy, he will be given two hundred French francs immediately, and all of it will be his.

With this money, he could buy a few carriages and expand his business.

Once he makes money and continues to expand, it won't be long before he becomes the owner of a big car dealership.

This is his biggest dream, and he dare not think of anything bigger.

"Where is the thing?"

The driver quickly came to the Japanese spy. Kang Yunzhou and others had already confirmed that there was only one Japanese spy and no accomplices.

These Japanese are so arrogant that they really think what they do is foolproof.

"follow me."

The Japanese spy smiled slightly and walked in front, while the driver followed behind. He would not participate in the action. At this moment, there was only one number in his mind: two hundred dollars.

What was in front of him was not a person, but money, a full two hundred yuan.

According to the Kop exchange rate, that's two hundred dollars.

Even if the legal currency depreciated, two hundred legal currency could still be exchanged for more than one hundred dollars, which was by no means a small amount of money for him.

Kang Yunzhou and others had already laid an ambush.

Murata was not aware of the danger, or rather, he did not think about exposing himself at all. When he was taking the driver along the small path to the warehouse, two people suddenly jumped out from the intersection in front of them, holding sticks in their hands, and greeted him together.

A stick hit him on the head. Murata's eyes were filled with shock. In the moment when his consciousness became blurred, he had only one thought in his mind.

Who the hell robbed me?

"Caught."

A member of the action team quickly ran over to report that Kang Yunzhou had led his men to tie up the Japanese spy tightly and searched for weapons on him.

No poison, no grenades.

So he used the coachman's carriage to pull him over.

"This is yours. Go hide somewhere else for a few days. Remember to keep today's events a secret."

Yan Ming took out two hundred French francs. Today they brought Yang Gouzi's younger brother, and now it's Kang Yunzhou's younger brother.

This young man had seen the Japanese spy and had confirmed before that it was him.

Confirm your identity and pay on the spot.

However, since the Japanese spy is missing, the Japanese will definitely conduct an investigation. The driver is in danger and cannot be allowed to stay at home. It would be best for him to go out and hide for a while.

His brother had already told him this, and the driver knew what he should do.

Next he will go to Suzhou. With this money, he can live in Suzhou for a long time, and the people from Suzhou Military Intelligence Department will protect him.

He won't be able to come out to transport goods for a short period of time, but this time won't be too long.

Sooner or later the Japanese will find out that their people have been captured.

"Thank you, thank you sir."

After receiving the money, the driver was very excited. Yan Ming not only let him go to Suzhou, but also specially sent someone to protect him along the way.

Xu Qingyun has always been generous when it comes to rewarding his meritorious officials.

They had a horse-drawn carriage, which made it convenient for them to travel. Once they arrived in Suzhou, the protected team members could return by train.

The journey is not far and will not take much time.

Yan Ming and Fu Wenzhen escorted the Japanese spy back to the Military Intelligence Department. This was the first Japanese spy they had captured since they arrived in Shanghai.

The hidden Japanese spies had been cleared out before, and it is much more difficult to catch them now than before. Scarcity makes things valuable. There are fewer Japanese spies, so their value is naturally higher now than before.

In the interrogation room, Xu Qingyun was interrogating the suspect personally, while Fang Laibao and Yan Ming were sitting beside him.

Kang Yunzhou was specially allowed to attend the trial and was even allowed to carry out the execution.

"Name, position."

Yan Ming, the presiding judge, asked directly that Murata had woken up a long time ago and noticed that he was tied up tightly and wearing a hood, so he realized that he might have fallen into the hands of the Military Intelligence Department.

When he arrived at Shanghai Station, he no longer had any chance of success.

Murata didn't say anything, he knew it was useless to deny it.

The incident involving Yang Gouzi had caused too much trouble, and Yang Gouzi's subordinates had seen him before. It was completely useless to play tricks, so he simply didn't bother with that.

"beat."

Yan Ming didn't waste any words and gave the order directly. Kang Yunzhou was already prepared. Following the order, he immediately pulled out the whip soaked in salt water and lashed him hard.

Suddenly, terrible howls were heard in the interrogation room.

After using conventional tortures such as the tiger bench, piercing nails, and branding irons, Murata finally couldn't bear it anymore and was willing to confess.

He was not Ishida's confidant brought from Japan. He was simply a newcomer promoted by Suzuki because of his good performance. If he had not been brainwashed many times, he would not have been able to hold on until now.

For those who have no true faith, it is pure dreaming to survive the punishment.

"My name is Murata..."

With Murata's confession, Kang Yunzhou finally understood why Yang Gouzi was targeted by the Japanese.

The reason turned out to be that he loved drinking.

Before Murata finished speaking, Kang Yunzhou burst into tears and said that from today on, he would never touch a drop of alcohol.

If he didn't like drinking, his brothers wouldn't have died for him. He didn't expect the Japanese to be so cunning that they could even take advantage of his love for drinking.

Xu Qingyun did not say anything. He understood that the Japanese were like this. They were omnipresent and once they found your weakness, they would immediately make targeted arrangements.

Kang Yunzhou was taken away by Fu Wenzhen because his crying affected the interrogation.

There weren't many useful things that Murata told him. Although Suzuki accepted him as one of his own, he was not his absolute confidant.

However, he confessed that Suzuki was exposed in the concession last time.

Everyone then realized that the person found in the dead mailbox was actually Suzuki, the head of the Special High Section's intelligence team.

Unfortunately, his identity was not known at the time.

Xu Qingyun did not feel any regret. Even if he knew it, it would be useless. There were only four of them at the scene, but Suzuki brought twelve people with him.

If we really go to arrest people, it’s not certain who will be arrested.

If Xu Qingyun had known in advance where Suzuki was going, he would definitely have deployed more people to see if there was any chance to catch him.

Suzuki knows many more secrets than Murata.

In addition, Murata also explained that they had many people to target and he was just the one who took action in advance.

But he had no idea what targets others were targeting or where they were.

This is normal. The intelligence department will not let irrelevant people know about other people's secret missions, especially dangerous missions.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t know, just know that they are taking action.

Ask the team members to go back and remind them that there is a high reward for reporting any anomalies. If they don’t report it, it will be a crime and they will be arrested and their families will be implicated.

See what they choose.

Xu Qingyun was not afraid of the Japanese coming. If one came, he would catch one. If two came, he would catch a pair.

The more we catch, the better. It depends on how many people we can catch in the end.
