The Spy

Chapter 324
"Stationmaster, I suggest that we immediately investigate all the people around their relatives and friends on the entire station, and identify all the strangers who have had contact with them recently. The news of Murata's arrest cannot be concealed for too long."

Yan Ming followed Xu Qingyun out and immediately said that it was confirmed from Murata that Japanese spies were carrying out large-scale operations.

According to Murata, Suzuki managed them very strictly and required them to go back and report every day, but the mission he was carrying out this time was a bit far, so he was given three days.

The main thing was that he wanted to go to the French Concession with the rickshaw driver, control the rickshaw driver in the French Concession, and eventually instigate him to rebel and be used by the Japanese.

The whole process takes about three days.

"Okay, all members of the intelligence team will be dispatched. If we don't have enough people, let Wen Zheng assist."

Xu Qingyun nodded. Time is of the essence. How many people can be caught depends on how many can be found in the next few days.

Once the Japanese confirm that Murata is in trouble, those who are out on missions will most likely withdraw.

"Okay, I'll go find Wen Zheng right away."

Yan Ming was not being pretentious. Time was pressing and they had to check it carefully.

The Japanese spies were very good at disguise, and their relatives and friends in the station were all ordinary people. It was very likely that they had come into contact with them, but they did not do anything out of the ordinary.

For example, Murata had actually looked for a driver once before, but that time he did not mention transporting goods, let alone paying for the freight.

It was not until the high freight rate was given that the driver realized something was wrong and reported it.

Yan Ming wants to count the strangers who have appeared recently. All strangers who appear around the relatives and friends of the team members in the station must be checked.

The number of people in their intelligence team is simply not enough.

The action team has the largest number of people, and with more than a hundred of them, even if they are not enough, they can screen a larger area and prevent Japanese spies from escaping.

The intelligence team and the operations team were all mobilized.

Yan Ming first deployed tasks for them. He trusted the old men who were originally from the fourth intelligence group, but he needed special instructions for the people who had been in the Shanghai station before to avoid omissions.

The main thing is to ask all the strangers who have appeared.

Even if you are asking for directions from a stranger, you should still ask.

At the same time, they also have to find out if anyone has inquired about their situation. This job is not easy, and they have to finish all the questions as quickly as possible, which is a huge workload.

Yan Ming specially invited several team leaders to help, including Dai Jieying and others.

Their task is to lead the team. They are veterans of the fourth intelligence group and have rich experience in handling cases. They can grasp the first-hand situation and make adjustments at any time when they are outside.

If necessary, seek police assistance immediately.

Many people from each group went out, so the Shanghai station seemed much emptier. Other team members had to take the investigators to meet people around them, and question anyone who had contact with them.

Good news came quickly. In the afternoon, Dai Jieying took the lead. The people he led questioned a stranger who was very suspicious.

As soon as they started asking questions, they asked a lot of strangers.

After all, Shanghai is very big, and they asked a lot of people, and they asked whether they had any contact with strangers in the past seven or eight days. Many people had such contact.

It is impossible that all these strangers are Japanese spies, but there are definitely some hiding among them.

Identification of strangers is critical.

First, we need to see how many people they are, their backgrounds, whether anyone knows them, what the purpose of the contact is, etc.

Through these, people who are not suspicious can be eliminated.

The stranger discovered by Dai Jieying appeared alone and inquired about the family of a member of the interrogation team. He asked very detailed questions and then took the initiative to contact the family member.

The reason he contacted me was that he had something to ask for.

All the characteristics were consistent with those of a Japanese spy, and a detailed investigation of this stranger was immediately launched.

The day passed quickly.

On the first day alone, they found ten suspected strangers and quickly identified one.

The Shanghai station has a photo of this person, which makes it easiest to identify him.

When he appears again, Yan Ming will arrest him immediately and won't wait any longer.

At this time, Suzuki was still having a headache. He found a few pro-Japanese Green Gang thugs and asked them to help investigate in some places that were inconvenient for him to go to. He tried his luck.

Xu Qingyun only publicly retaliated against ten people. There were too many people like this in Shanghai. Even if all the staff of the Shanghai station were mobilized, they would not be able to beat them all at once.

Several gang leaders received high rewards and promised to help Suzuki find the person.

Unfortunately, Suzuki doesn't have as much confidence as them. He is just a gangster and it is difficult for him to accomplish anything.

However, they are well-informed, and Suzuki has few options at this moment, so he has to place his hopes on them first.

The section chief gave him a very short time and he had to find the whereabouts of these people within the specified time.

He knew very well that the section chief was under a lot of pressure as well.

The Western powers in the concession were very dissatisfied with their refusal to acknowledge and apologize.

Suzuki felt aggrieved for Ishida.

Are these people stupid? They keep blaming the Chinese for what they did.

Suzuki asked someone to spread the news that this round of retaliation was still carried out by the Chinese, but unfortunately no one believed it.

They only believe their own eyes, but they don't know that what they see is not necessarily true, not to mention that they did not see it with their own eyes.

"Call them again and ask for compensation. If they don't give it, their people won't be able to enter the concession anymore."

In the hospital, Inspector Yang roared that he had recovered a little in the past two days, at least the wound was not so painful, and he would be able to be discharged in a few days. However, he had no plans to be discharged. This beating cost him so much money, and the police station reimbursed him part of it, but he would not give him any compensation.

Having suffered so much injustice, if he can't get the money, wouldn't he have died unjustly?
"Yes."

The confidant left quickly and called the Military Intelligence Department and the Special High Section again.

No one answered the call at the Shanghai station. Zhao San was out on a case, so the call was transferred to his office, but no one answered.

Zhao San is very talented in handling cases, and this time time was so urgent that Xu Qingyun sent him out as well.

Someone from the Shanghai Special High Police Department answered the phone, but before he could finish, the other party angrily asked him if he wanted to die, and then hung up.

The confidant felt very aggrieved, but had to report it.

"Tell the brothers to find their people. Arrest all those who have had contact with them."

Inspector Yang was furious. He was usually high and mighty. Apart from the French and some big shots, he had never paid any attention to many people. He had so many subordinates, and they all had guns. Who would dare to touch him?

I don’t know how many years it has been since I suffered such injustice.

"Yes."

The confidant did not dare to delay and immediately took people out to attack those who had connections with the Military Intelligence Department and the Special High Section in the jurisdiction.

When Yu Hongyu was there, he didn't pay much attention to the management of the concession. There were not many people in the French Concession who had connections with them, and even if there were, they were only a few big shots, not people that Inspector Yang could touch.

Xu Qingyun had not been here for long, and he had arranged some spies so as not to let anyone else know.

The Japanese, on the other hand, are developing spies everywhere.

Not only Ishida, but also Ouchi and others had developed some people in the concession. These people were unlucky. In just half a day, seven people were arrested and taken to the police station.

These are the people who have revealed themselves to have connections with the Special Higher Police.

"Team leader, seven of our spies were arrested in the French Concession. It was the Chinese detective surnamed Yang who deliberately took revenge."

The subordinates quickly came to report to Suzuki. Suzuki was startled and immediately asked, "Who were the ones arrested?"

The subordinate quickly said the name, and Suzuki's face instantly showed anger.

Among the seven people arrested, three were gangsters, and they were helping him find the perpetrators of the previous crime.

The remaining four informants also received the task. It is not certain whether they can find the answer or not, but they must be put into action.

The section chief gave him a deadline to find someone, and Suzuki mobilized all the strength he could, hoping to complete the task as soon as possible.

Just when everyone was working hard, the French Concession came out to cause trouble.

Seven people are not a lot, as the Special High Police has a large number of spies.

They have more than 300 spies in the French Concession, International Settlement, South City, etc., which is more than the number of people in the Special High School Section.

The loss of seven people would not have much impact, but Suzuki was worried that if the others followed Inspector Yang's example and a large number of spies were caught, even if he could rescue them, the task assigned to him by the section chief would certainly not be completed.

This hole cannot be opened.

"Inspector Yang doesn't want to see me?"

Suzuki hurried to the French Concession, and the policeman said that it was Inspector Yang who ordered the arrest and asked him to find Inspector Yang.

He went to the hospital again, but Yang refused to see him.

In fact, Inspector Yang wanted to meet him and take the opportunity to ask for his compensation, but when he heard his subordinates say that Suzuki came with nothing, he was so angry that he ordered his subordinates to kick the man out.

Naturally, the subordinates did not dare to actually take action and could only refuse.

It’s not that Suzuki didn’t consider buying some gifts. After all, the patient is in the hospital, and it’s normal for him to bring some gifts when he is asking someone to intercede for him.

But he knew his section chief's temper too well.

The section chief must not apologize or compensate. If he brings gifts and the section chief finds out, a scolding would be the least of his problems. If the section chief dislikes him and loses his trust, his career would be over.

Future is the most important, so he ran over directly.

I didn't expect that Mr. Yang really didn't give me any face at all.

"Captain Suzuki, go back and prepare the compensation. Our inspector said it's two thousand dollars, not a cent less."

It was only one thousand before, but now the price has been raised to double.

Inspector Yang was angry that they did not know how to appreciate his kindness. Moreover, he seriously suspected that it was the Japanese who had attacked him, and two thousand was already too little.

This time it's two thousand, if they don't give it, they will double it next time.

Now that the people from the Special High Police have shown up, it proves that his method is effective. Inspector Yang regrets not arresting them before, and he plans to arrest more people next.

He will ask brothers for help not only in his own area, but also in other areas. Once he gets the compensation, he will treat the brothers to tea.

"Walk."

Suzuki didn't waste any words. He said there was no way he would give the money and there was no need for him to stay here and be humiliated if they couldn't come to an agreement.

As for looking for someone higher up in the concession, he was not qualified.

When Suzuki went back to report, Ishida's face turned pale. A small inspector dared to challenge him. These people were so hateful and deserved to be killed.

"Section Chief, do you want to get rid of him?"

Suzuki suddenly said that now everyone with a discerning eye knew that Inspector Yang was deliberately making things difficult for them. Killing Inspector Yang was to make an example of him and deter others from targeting them.

"Stupid, if we kill him now, wouldn't that mean we were the ones who did it?"

Ishida glared at him. Killing someone now would be like adding fuel to the fire. Even if he sent someone secretly without letting the outside world know about it, it would not work.

It was clearly not them who did what happened before, but now these people are convinced that they did it?

Ishida is not that stupid.

"It is my stupidity."

Suzuki lowered his head. Ishida thought for a while and said slowly, "The informant is not important. Don't worry about them for now. How is the rebellion mission going?"

He now urgently needs to recruit people from the Military Intelligence Department and let them do something to help him relieve the pressure.

As long as he can incite rebellion, he will find a way to make others understand that all previous actions were done by the Shanghai station and had nothing to do with him.

At that time, all the pressure will naturally fall on Xu Qingyun.

“It’s in progress and the results will be out soon.”

Suzuki replied that there were many targets this time and he sent out more than 20 people.

They are in the dark and the other party is in the light, so the possibility of success is very high.

"ASAP."

Ishida nodded. He had been under pressure all the time, which had made many high-ranking officials in the Japanese Concession dissatisfied.

He doesn't care about these people, as long as Tsuchihara continues to support him.

Now, even if Tuyuan asked him to leave, he would not return to China. He had to deal with Xu Qingyun first. Before, when he and Xu Qingyun were competing against each other, he was the one who made the moves and Xu Qingyun had no time to fight back.

As a result, a counterattack made him become what he is now.

He admitted that Xu Qingyun was indeed capable and that this counterattack was very beautiful. He was careless for a moment and fell into the opponent's trap.

But he would not give Xu Qingyun a second chance like this.

"Don't worry, Section Chief. I will definitely produce results as soon as possible."

When Suzuki gave Ishida the assurance, Dai Jieying had already led people to capture a Japanese spy and successfully interrogated him.

Yan Ming, Zhao San and Fu Wenzhen also made some gains. As the investigation progressed, they discovered a large number of suspicious strangers. Anyone without a clear identity would be arrested.

He is not afraid of catching the wrong person, but will let him go if he catches the wrong person. Xu Qingyun would rather kill the wrong person than let him go.

But we have to catch people first.

"Stationmaster, four have been confirmed."

In the afternoon, Yan Ming came to report to Xu Qingyun. It had only been two days, or less than two days if the nights were counted, but they had already captured more than a dozen people and identified four Japanese spies.

All four Japanese spies have confessed.

"Go on, we have at most one day."

Xu Qingyun smiled and nodded. The people arrested today were different from Murata arrested yesterday. They were not that far away from the Japanese Concession. If they did not return at night, Ishida and the others would know that something had happened to their people by tomorrow at the latest.

Ishida is not stupid and will not continue to take risks by sending people away.

"Yes."

Yan Ming took the order and led his men to continue the investigation. Indeed, two people failed to return to report that night. Suzuki did not pay much attention to the report because he was troubled by other things.

The thing he was most worried about happened. Inspector Yang arrested his people, and after he refused to come over, the entire French Concession Police Station was looking for their spies.

In the afternoon, the International Settlement took action and many of their spies were arrested.

The spies in Nanshi are safer.

The main spies in Nanshi had been caught before, and now they are all new spies developed after they came to Shanghai. There are not many of them, and another batch of them was caught by Xu Qingyun. The rest are all very honest, and their identities are unknown to the outside world.

The people in the concession are mainly those left behind by previous section chiefs.

These spies are also stupid. They contact them directly and openly, and even take the initiative to tell others that they work for the Special High Section.

The Japanese have a certain influence in Shanghai, and Orientals are also foreigners. These people used the guise of being Japanese to improve their status, but now, they have sent themselves directly to the police station.

More than 80 people were arrested in one day, which made Suzuki extremely anxious.

If he hadn't warned the spies in advance to be careful, more people would probably have been caught.

"Stationmaster, Inspector Yang has helped us a lot."

The next morning, Yan Ming came to report. He also knew what was going on in the concession. It was not just the Special High Section that had spies. Some of their spies were fools who wanted to take advantage of the power of the Military Intelligence Department to benefit themselves. When Fang Laibao checked these spies before, those who had made their identities public were no longer used.

Their identities were exposed, making them easy targets for the Japanese after the war.

Xu Qingyun didn't need these half a year's time, so he simply didn't need them now, but he didn't do anything to them. In the end, he gave them some money and told them that he would have nothing to do with the Military Intelligence Department in the future.

Doing this may not necessarily save their lives, but at least it's better.

"Indeed, he is so kind, we can't just do nothing."

Xu Qingyun smiled and nodded. Yan Ming was slightly startled, then immediately understood what the webmaster meant.

"I'll try to leave him with an intact body."

What a good opportunity! If they give up, they will be struck by lightning. Once Inspector Yang dies, the situation will escalate again.

After all, the people who died before were not as important as Inspector Yang, and it was such an obvious retaliation.

"No need, safety first."

Xu Qingyun shook his head. Inspector Yang was not a good man and deserved to die.

He was prone to taking bribes and extorting money. Inspector Yang framed and blackmailed victims many times, and most of them were Chinese.

Xu Qingyun found out that five people were forced to death by Inspector Yang.

If it wasn't inappropriate to kill him last time, he would have died long ago and would not have been kept alive until today. Now the time is ripe and we can send him off.

"Yes, don't worry, Station Master."

Yan Ming replied that this time Jingkou would not be arranged to kill anyone, nor would the people from the Shanghai station be allowed to carry out the mission. Instead, Jingkou could disguise himself as a member of the Special High Section and hire someone to kill someone for a high price.

Even if they fail and are caught, it will eventually be determined that the work was done by the Japanese.

Iguchi and his friends speak very authentic Japanese.

It’s my mother tongue and I’ve been speaking it for so many years, how could it not be authentic?

Yan Ming doesn't even need to do this matter himself, he can just leave it to Jingkou and the others. The six people in Jingkou are very honest now, no one follows them and they don't run away.

Having killed so many Japanese, they had no way back. If they ran and were caught, they would surely die.

Working with the Military Intelligence Department, there would be rewards if they succeeded. At least they had received quite a few rewards. What they wanted now was to save more money so that after Xu Qingyun gave them freedom, they could use the money to live out the rest of their lives in a safe place.

More people were arrested on the third day. Suzuki did not react in time, and the others continued to do what they were doing. More than 30 people were arrested in one day.

Three more Japanese spies were identified, and the rest were carefully verified.

If they are not Japanese spies, give them some money and let them go. The money may not be much, but at least it is some compensation.

If you are really a Japanese spy, don’t even think about leaving the Military Intelligence Department prison.

Jingkou is very efficient. We gave him the order yesterday and he went to find someone today.

Yan Ming had given them information about the people they were looking for in advance, and they were all gangsters.

These people value money more than their lives. There is nothing they dare not do as long as you pay them.

Jingkou quickly found a lone bandit and negotiated a price of one thousand dollars to buy Inspector Yang's life.

This man did not live in the French Concession. He knew the consequences of killing the inspector, but as long as he had money, he could just leave Shanghai and live a carefree life anywhere.
Anyway, he is alone and can go wherever he wants and continue killing people somewhere else.

"give him."

Jingkou came back to report to Yanming that the killer had only two requests: to give him a pistol and bullets, it had to be a good gun, and at least 200 rounds of bullets.

This time we have to kill the inspector, and we have to have a good weapon.

Secondly, he needs to be given a few grenades. Another thing is that the balance must be placed in the place designated by him. After the job is done, he will leave Shanghai immediately, and you can go and get it yourself before leaving.

If you don't let him go, he will come back for revenge.

"Hay."

Jingkou took the order and there was nothing wrong with putting the balance in advance. Yan Ming knew that the killer was worried about being silenced afterwards, so even if he put it in advance, he would make certain arrangements.

He never thought about killing to silence the witness, the killer could go wherever he wanted.

They don't have time to do these now, and there is no need to let Jingkou and others take risks and create unnecessary trouble. The most important thing is to complete the mission.

The hospital was very quiet at night.

Inspector Yang is now eligible to be discharged from the hospital and go home to recuperate, but he refuses to leave the hospital, waiting for the Special Higher Police to come and give him money.

Now that so many people from the Special High Police have been arrested, he believes that the Special High Police will definitely surrender.

When they come again, the minimum is four thousand dollars.

If he doesn’t give it this time, he will ask for eight thousand next time. He wants to see how long the Special High Police can last.

This time he wanted to make the Special High Police understand clearly what the consequences would be if they offended him.

Inspector Yang was sleeping soundly, with only one person protecting him. The killer acted decisively and sneaked into the concession hospital after receiving the money, waiting patiently.

He won't do it now, he'll wait until daybreak.

After killing the man, he left immediately and left the concession after dawn.

He had a gun and grenades on him, but what he really wanted to use was a knife, so these were just in case.

Time passed slowly and the killer finally moved.

He even prepared a white coat for himself.

He had stolen it from the doctor's office at night.

Wearing a white coat and a mask, he could better protect himself in the hospital, and soon he arrived at the door of the ward.

He already knew which ward Inspector Yang was in.

Inspector Yang has received many gifts in the past few days, so it is not difficult to check his ward.

The killer gently pushed open the door. Inspector Yang lived in a single room, and the person who took care of him was sleeping on the bed next to him. Both of them were sleeping so soundly that they didn't notice anyone coming in.

Two people?
The killer's eyebrows jumped, and he tiptoed to a bed and looked carefully at the face of the person on the bed.

The curtains were drawn and it was too dark in the ward. I could only see a little with the help of the light from the corridor outside.

At this point he couldn't determine which bed was his target.

They both looked at it, and the person inside couldn't be seen clearly, and there was a murderous light in the killer's eyes.

He knew that once he took action, the noise would easily wake up the other person, so he might as well kill them both.

Coming back to the middle bed, the killer took out a sharp dagger, suddenly pressed the mouth of the person on the bed, and stabbed the dagger into his neck.

Inspector Yang woke up instantly and felt a chill on his neck. He tried to struggle desperately but could only make a whimpering sound.

The killer drew his knife quickly, and the noise woke up the people around him.

The patrolman who was taking care of Inspector Yang had not yet stood up when he saw a dark shadow rushing towards him. He was so scared that he quickly rolled under the bed.

At this time, Inspector Yang was covering his neck. Unfortunately, blood was gushing out. He was speechless and his eyes were full of fear.

When the killer missed his target, he immediately bent over and prepared to draw his gun.

The patrolman next to him had already stood up and quickly ran towards the window. This was the second floor and there was a chance that he could escape if he jumped down, but if he stayed, he would probably be killed.

He was short and nimble, and by the time the killer raised his head and chased after him, the policeman had already jumped out of the window and ran out. As soon as he pointed his pistol outside, the other party turned a corner and disappeared.

The killer snorted angrily. He was brave enough to turn on the light.

Inspector Yang was motionless, his eyes were open, and he died with his eyes open.

The killer noticed that the person being killed was indeed the target and left with satisfaction.

"Killing people."

The police who escaped quickly ran to the police station. The hospital was not far from them.

The patrolman on duty stood up hurriedly and put on his clothes in a panic. No matter how anxious the patrolman was, there was nothing he could do. What's more, it took him time to come here and it would take him time to go back. He was afraid that Inspector Yang would be in danger this time.

At this time, he didn't know that Inspector Yang was dead.

"Inspector."

By the time they returned to the hospital, Inspector Yang had already gone cold. The weather hadn't warmed up yet, and the doors and windows were open, so the blood coagulated quickly.

"Quick, call the chief patrol."

One person realized that the murder of the inspector was no small matter and must be reported to the chief inspector.

The Chief Inspector is the head of their patrol station.

Chief Inspector Qu Weilun hadn't gotten up yet. He was very unhappy to be woken up by the phone call. When he heard the report from his subordinates, he was stunned.

The inspector under your command was killed?
Who was so brave as to kill his inspector? The inspector was not the same as the patrol captain. The patrol captain was mainly responsible for patrolling and maintaining public security, while the inspector was mainly responsible for solving cases, which was equivalent to the criminal police in later generations.

It was no small matter that he was killed.

"Who did it?"

Qu Weilun stared at his men in the ward, and everyone looked at Inspector Yang's confidant.

Before this, he was the one who stayed in the hospital to take care of Inspector Yang.

"It was too dark, I couldn't see him clearly."

The subordinate lowered his head and replied that the lights were not on at the time and he was in a hurry to escape, so he didn't notice who it was.

Even if he saw it, he would not be able to remember what the killer looked like because he was wearing doctor's clothes and a mask.

"Find him. Find him for me immediately."

Qu Weilun roared and sent all his men out. As the sky gradually brightened, Qu Weilun had no desire to sleep anymore and simply returned to the police station to wait for news.

In the office, he became angrier the more he thought about it.

Inspector Yang was beaten for no reason and was seriously injured. Who wanted to kill him?
Qu Weilun narrowed his eyes. The Japanese. He knew that Inspector Yang had asked the Military Intelligence Department and the Special High Section for compensation, but both sides ignored him.

But the Japanese want more.

Qu Weilun called the people around Inspector Yang and quickly got an important clue.

Previously, when Inspector Yang called the Special High Police to ask for money, the other party threatened him and asked him if he wanted to die.

So many spies from the Special Higher Police were arrested yesterday. Given the temperament of the Japanese, they may very well target Inspector Yang.

It's not possible, it's certain.

Even if the murderer is not Japanese, he is closely related to them.

The more Qu Weilun thought about it, the angrier he got. The Japanese were too arrogant and too hateful. They beat people first, and then they didn't ask them to hand over the person. They just asked for some compensation, which was already too easy for them.

As a result, they have been denying it all along, and now they even dare to kill people directly.

I was able to kill Inspector Yang today. If I don’t do things to their satisfaction in the future, can they kill me too?
The Japanese must be taught a lesson.

Qu Weilun did not care too much and immediately reported to the Commissioner of Police. The border checkpoint had not been opened yet and a strict inspection at the border checkpoint could only be carried out with the order of the Commissioner of Police.

Sure enough, the Frenchman was furious and immediately asked him to investigate in detail and make sure the murderer was caught.

At this time, the killer had not left the concession yet and the checkpoint was closed. If they wanted to get out, they had to go through special places, such as swimming out from the river on the border.

But this is not safe either, as similar local concessions have sentries on guard.

These people are all soldiers. Once they are discovered by them, they will probably be turned into a hornet's nest.

As for whether there was a place where he could sneak through, he didn't know, so he could only leave through the checkpoint.

This is also the reason why he acted before dawn, to kill people without anyone noticing. By the time they found out, the checkpoint would have been opened, and he could leave the concession smoothly.

The checkpoint was finally opened, and many people were already waiting on both sides.

The killer moved with the crowd, but after he had taken a few steps, the person at the checkpoint suddenly received a phone call and immediately closed the passage again.

People on both sides didn't know what was going on and started talking about it.

Not long after, a team of patrol officers came running in quickly, and after the passage was opened, they began to carefully check everyone.

The killer's eyes narrowed, he knew that the police had reacted.

It is already difficult to leave normally through the checkpoint.

The killer didn't move and retreated quietly. He couldn't leave the concession now and needed to find a place to hide for a while. Fortunately, he had money with him, so he had no problem hiding there for a few days.

After the limelight passed, he left.

As for the balance, he asked his employer to put it in a place that was very hidden so he didn't have to worry about being discovered by others.

He and his employer were the only ones who knew the location, and if the money wasn't there, he would go and cause trouble for his employer.

"Ishida, what on earth do you want to do?"

Just after getting to work in the morning, Ishida received a call from a senior official in the Japanese Concession, asking him questions that left him puzzled.

"My Lord, I don't understand what you are talking about?"

"I don't understand? Did you kill Inspector Yang?" The other party's tone suddenly became sharp.

"Inspector Yang? No, I didn't kill him. I can swear."

Ishida was slightly shocked. Inspector Yang was dead. Could it be that Suzuki really killed someone behind his back?

He soon realized that it was impossible, Suzuki would not dare to do such a thing behind his back.

They are Chinese, again Chinese. They chose a good time to kill Inspector Yang and deliberately frame themselves.

"Swearing is useless. If you don't resolve this matter, I will have to go to Lord Ishida and General Tsuchihara."

The other party hung up the phone quickly. Ishida was of a low rank while the other party was of a high rank. Moreover, the Special High Police was under the headquarters, and the Japanese Concession had no jurisdiction over their personnel.

But there is always supervisory power. If they do not do well, we can react at any time and remove Section Chief Ishida from his position.

"Where's Suzuki? Ask him to come over immediately."

Ishida was furious. These stupid guys couldn't see through such a simple frame-up.

This time he must find out the truth and clear himself of the grievances.

Ishida is best at handling cases, not politics.

Xu Qingyun’s evaluation of him was absolutely correct.

"Section Chief, Team Leader Suzuki went to the French Concession yesterday and hasn't come back yet."

"what?"

Ishida was stunned. Was it really Suzuki who did it? No, Ishida's expression eased a little. He knew that Suzuki went to the French Concession yesterday. An informant there provided several clues, so he went to verify the situation.

Not all spies are so stupid. Some of them keep their identities secret and are not caught.
