The Spy

Chapter 333: Not Leaving Early or Late
Without him saying anything, everyone at the scene understood that there must be something wrong with Miyagi, otherwise he wouldn't be so scared.

"Aren't you going to say yes?"

Suzuki frowned. The section chief had not arrived yet, but he had previously instructed not to torture the person immediately after catching him.

Takagi’s situation cannot happen again.

Suzuki didn't understand this order. Since there were doubts, there must be a problem. How could they confess without being tortured?

Unfortunately, the section chief is the boss and he must obey his orders.

"What happened to the money?"

Miyagi still didn't say anything, so Suzuki asked someone to take out the one hundred dollars that were searched from his house and put it on the table.

Seeing his things being searched out, Miyagi shook even more violently.

"Professor."

Suzuki suddenly gets up and Ishida arrives.

"Have you confessed?"

Noticing Miyagi's look, Ishida realized that he had a problem and asked directly.

"Not yet. I guess he knows the consequences of confessing and doesn't want to say it."

The underlying meaning of Suzuki's words is that instead of using torture, it would be better to use it instead of just using Gong Cheng.

"Miyagi, you've been in the Special Higher Police for quite some time, and you know how powerful the torture instruments are. If you're willing to tell me, I can stop torturing you and even spare your life. If you don't, not only will you die, but your family will die with you."

Ishida looked straight at Miyagi, and his words put more pressure on Miyagi.

"Section Chief, I say."

Miyagi finally broke down and started crying as soon as he finished speaking, telling the story with tears and snot.

Someone wanted to buy radio accessories at a high price, and he couldn't resist the temptation and sold one. After learning about Gao Mu's situation, he was very scared and took the initiative to find the person who bought the accessories, wanting to refund the money and get the accessories back, but he couldn't find him.

He knew the buyer was Chinese, but was not sure of his identity.

Today he went to the buyer, but when he failed to find anyone, he planned to go to the French Concession tomorrow to find a middleman. However, before he could go, he was caught by the Special High Police.

"That's what happened. Section Chief, I was wrong. Please forgive me."

Miyagi was still crying, but Ishida frowned. He just sold a radio accessory?
What he wants to investigate now is the traitor, not to sort out the trivial matters in class.

"only these?"

"Section Chief, that's all I have to say."

Gong Cheng nodded hurriedly. That was indeed all he knew. Before Zhao San’s plan could proceed to the next step, he had exposed himself.

"Is this the person who bought something from you?"

Ishida took out Zhao San's photo and asked Miyagi to look at it. Miyagi looked at it carefully and shook his head: "It's not him."

It is not time for Zhao San to show up in person yet. Besides, with the Takagi incident, Zhao San has no plan to show up in person. If Takagi is identified as a traitor, there will be no point in him showing up. Since Ishida has not been fooled, there will be little point in him showing up again.

"Push it down first."

As expected, Ishida did not torture him, but he did not completely believe Miyagi's confession. He was an intelligence officer and would remain skeptical of any possible situation until all the facts were found out.

"He's definitely not telling the truth, Chief."

Suzuki came to the office and immediately said that so far Miyagi was only suspected of stealing accessories, and this was the only thing Miyagi had confessed to.

Stealing accessories and selling them for money is indeed a big problem. These are radio accessories and military supplies.

But such a problem is not fatal, and he will be imprisoned for a few years at most.

There was no torture, and Suzuki instinctively suspected that Miyagi was trying to avoid the main issue.

"Tomorrow you go and verify the person he told you about. You must find him."

Ishida did not comment on Miyagi's explanation. Miyagi was locked up by them, and if he was really a traitor, he would have no way of passing on information.

Ishida believed that since he had discovered the clues, he would be able to find out the truth.

"Yes."

Suzuki took the order, but he still felt a little regretful that he didn't torture him. From Miyagi's appearance, he might confess everything without too severe punishment.

Zhao San did not receive the news that Gong Cheng was arrested.

He had several spies stationed in the Japanese Concession, two of them were caught, but one was smart enough to escape.

Ishida is not an incompetent person.

After discovering that the previous spy at the Shanghai station had escaped, they immediately investigated the people in the Japanese Concession.

The main purpose is to check those who do not have formal jobs but can still live there and have left Shanghai, especially those who have been to Wuhan.

He found three.

Zhao San brought them to Wuhan to serve as spies. These people were not agents, and Zhao San never spent any effort on them. After they came back, they told others about their life in Wuhan.

When the spy was caught, Zhao San realized that the Special Higher Police were reacting based on the situation of the person who had been exposed before.

No wonder the stationmaster attaches importance to Ishida. Ishida is indeed better than other Japanese spies.

Zhao San still gave the one who escaped to Taguchi to expand the strength of the Japanese special agent team.

The two who were caught are losses. There are a lot of Japanese like this in Shanghai. Without them, we can just continue to develop.

As long as you have money, don't worry about not having Japanese people come to work.

Like the Japanese, many people like money and believe that if you have money you are the boss.

After losing two, he developed four more.

This time, let them not know each other and work alone. Anyway, they just need to keep an eye on the developments in the Japanese Concession and understand its daily life.

There is no need for them to actively spy on information, such people are very easy to find.

Suzuki's investigation was quick, but according to what Miyagi had said, he did not find the person.

The person is a member of the telecommunications team of the Shanghai Station. He is working diligently at the Shanghai Station. As for the purchased parts, they are placed in the accessories room of the telecommunications team and can be used at any time in the future.

Accessories like these are expensive to begin with, so spending a hundred bucks isn't a big loss since you can still use them in the future.

"Section Chief, we didn't find the person. I suspect Miyagi is lying and deliberately talking about someone who doesn't exist."

Suzuki came back to report that he had been searching for a whole day but no one knew this person.

As for the place mentioned by Miyagi, people said that no such person had ever lived there.

When the Shanghai team members went to look for Miyagi, they just found an empty house and said it was his home. Miyagi did not verify it carefully. After the transaction was completed, the Shanghai team members left. It was strange that Suzuki could find him.

"does not exist?"

Ishida raised his eyebrows. This person did not exist. Either Miyagi was lying, or the other party was lying and did not live there at all.

No matter who is lying, the case must continue to be investigated.

"Where's the middleman?"

"We found the middleman, but he's a middleman in the French Concession."

Suzuki immediately replied that the middleman was similar to an agent who specialized in this kind of business. He had dealt with Miyagi once before, but Miyagi bought the things on his own that time.

I came to him because I couldn't buy it through normal channels.

If there wasn't this relationship, Zhao San wouldn't have looked for him.

"Secret officer, bring him back."

Ishida said softly that he had a very tense relationship with the French Concession, and the French Concession had not yet gotten over what happened last time.

His people had to hide their identities when they went to the French Concession to do business, otherwise they might be targeted by the police at any time.

Damn Xu Qingyun, if it weren’t for him, Ishida wouldn’t be so passive.

"Hay."

Suzuki took the order and caught a middleman. He had no worries except that it would be a bit troublesome to bring the person back.

The French Concession was not a public concession. Knowing their identities, it would be almost impossible to take them away directly, even by giving them money.

Who made them the most unpopular people in the French Concession?

"Team leader, we're here."

To the French Concession, Suzuki personally brought people here. The middleman they were looking for was called Chang Yang, who had been in the French Concession for many years and was a small-time gangster.

When he helps people with things, there are some things that individuals cannot buy, and he has connections to get them, so he can take some commission or make a profit from the difference.

"Lure him out."

It is not difficult to catch such a person, and Suzuki quickly made arrangements.

Sure enough, when Changyang heard there was business, he happily followed out.

When they arrived at a deserted place, the Special High Police members immediately took out their guns.

"Master, Master, please be careful, don't fire it."

Changyang's voice was trembling with fear, and the team members didn't waste time talking to him: "Follow me."

Changyang was still a little dazed when he was escorted to the car.

"Gentlemen, whatever you want, as long as I have it, I will give it to you."

The Japanese's answer to him was to knock the people out directly. They were driving a van and used the van to take them over.

The driver of this car was not one of theirs. If the people at the checkpoint found out that it was a Japanese driving, they would definitely conduct a detailed inspection.

If it were someone else, the inspection wouldn’t be so strict after giving the money.

Soon the van left the French Concession smoothly. Suzuki felt much more relaxed and completed the task assigned by the section chief successfully.

When he arrived at the Special High Police, Changyang had already woken up, but unfortunately his mouth was blocked and he couldn't speak.

Changyang was taken directly to the interrogation room.

Noticing those horrific torture instruments, Changyang's legs went weak and he couldn't stand at all.

He didn't know who he had offended and why he was brought to such a place.

"Are you Changyang?"

Ishida interrogated him personally, and Changyang nodded immediately after he was able to speak: "Yes, sir, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly, don't be like this, I will give you whatever you want."

"I don't want your things. Cooperate and I'll give you money."

Ishida said calmly, and immediately asked about Miyagi.

Changyang then realized that he was captured here because of Miyagi, a member of Japan's Special High Police. Considering that Ishida's Chinese was not standard just now, he already knew where this place was.

"Sir, I'm just a middleman. I get paid to do the job. What they want to sell or buy has nothing to do with me."

"Who is the buyer?"

"I don't know them, but they are definitely Chinese. They are very generous."

Changyang was very cooperative and answered whatever was asked.

"How did he find you?"

"I don't know either. After they found me, they said they needed me to introduce the things they wanted. They told me that Miyagi had it, so I went to find Miyagi. Miyagi had bought medicine from me before, so I knew him."

Miyagi's mother has asthma, and there are no good medicines in China. The only effective ones are available in Europe and the United States.

These medicines were hard to buy, so he went to Miyagi and finally bought what he wanted and sent it to his mother.

These palaces have all been explained.

"Look at the photo. Is he the one looking for you?"

Ishida took out Zhao San's photo again. It was a full-body photo. After Changyang looked at it carefully, he immediately shook his head: "It's not him. He's taller than him."

If he is not Zhao San, then he is really a Red Party member?
Suzuki suspected that the Red Party bought these accessories, but Ishida had his own ideas. The Red Party did need these things, but they didn't have that much money and wouldn't be so generous.

"Bring all the photos of the Shanghai station staff."

Ishida ordered that the Special High Police had previously instigated Wan Jinwen to defect, and they had photos of many people, which were hidden dangers. Xu Zhanjie arrested a group of people, and Xu Qingyun evacuated a lot of people, but he had no way to replace all the people in the Shanghai station now.

There will still be a chance to make adjustments during wartime, and by then these people will all go to the rear.

Suzuki took out the photos and asked Changyang to identify them one by one.

Changyang kept shaking his head, and finally saw a familiar person, and immediately said, "That's him."

Ishida came over immediately and found that the person looking for Changyang was a member of the Shanghai Station Telecommunications Team.

Is this really Shanghai Station?
What do they want to do? Do they want to incite Miyagi to rebel, or are they just framing him like Takagi?

Suzuki was a little dazed. He thought the most likely candidate was the Red Party.

Unexpectedly, it was just as the section chief expected, and it was done by the Shanghai station.

"Take these photos and let Miyagi identify them."

Miyagi met with the buyer and brought the photos together, instead of just bringing the target, to see if Miyagi could find the buyer among these people.

If so, it is very likely that what Miyagi and the middleman said is true.

"It's him, it's him."

Miyagi quickly recognized the buyer. He didn't expect there would be a photo of the buyer in the class.

"Section Chief, Miyagi is talking about the right person."

Suzuki came to the office to report. Ishida narrowed his eyes and ordered again: "Go to the French Concession to verify it again."

The buyer has met someone in Changyang. This is the final verification. If it is true, Gongcheng’s case can be basically confirmed. It is another shady trick of Shanghai Station.

Xu Qingyun is so hateful, he always causes him all kinds of troubles.

At this time, Ishida was certain that Xu Qingyun knew that he was investigating traitors and deliberately sent him a few traitors. The more this was the case, the more he had to find out.

Xu Qingyun wanted to protect the traitor, but Ishida would not give him the chance.

The verification in the French Concession was very simple. According to the meeting address given by Gongcheng and Changyang, we quickly found out that someone from Shanghai Station had indeed come to see Changyang a few days ago.

What the two said is true, at least for now.

"Section Chief, is Miyagi really not a traitor?"

"No."

Ishida nodded affirmatively. If he was really a traitor, Xu Qingyun would never let anyone come to him to buy parts. He would only protect him.

The point is that Miyagi did steal things from class.

And it is sensitive material.

"Send a telegram to headquarters and send Miyagi to them for disposal."

After a while, Ishida sighed softly. Miyagi was not Takagi. He did not torture him, but it was a fact that Miyagi made a mistake.

He didn't want to punish severely in Shanghai, so he thought it would be most appropriate to leave it to the headquarters for handling.

"Hay."

Suzuki nodded his head and accepted the order. Fortunately, the section chief was wise and once again thwarted the conspiracy at Shanghai Station.

The Shanghai station is indeed annoying.

After Suzuki left, Ishida thought more.

Although it was a frame-up by Shanghai Station, it can be seen that there are many hidden dangers in the Special High Speed ​​Course.

Now it's just Takagi and Miyagi, but what about before? Did Shanghai Station use these methods to incite his people to rebel?

In other words, more than one person was instigated to rebel.

Ishida thought about the 18 people who were arrested by Shanghai Station after the operation was leaked. Although it was due to Suzuki's mistake at that time, what if it was a traitor who leaked the information and Shanghai Station slowly investigated and arrested people?

This person may have been turned against the government long ago.

The chief section chief said that there was no one who had defected to their station in Shanghai before. There was no one in Shanghai station, but what about Wuhan station and the Military Intelligence Department headquarters?
Xu Qingyun is not an ordinary person. He used to be the deputy chief of the Intelligence Department at the headquarters.

People like him always have far-reaching plans.

He had long ago recruited ordinary Japanese to serve as spies and even brought them to Wuhan. Who can guarantee that he had not recruited people from the Shanghai station before?

Ishida thought of Wan Jinwen's arrest again.
After he was arrested, he implicated Matsumoto, and ultimately all the years of hard work by the Special High Police went to waste.

When Wan Jinwen was arrested, he discussed the matter with the chief section chief.

Everyone agreed that Wan Jinwen was too stupid and had exposed himself, but everything Wan Jinwen did was a normal reaction.

At the beginning, the Military Intelligence Department headquarters kept Wan Jinwen and specially organized a training class for him.

That class started very early.

What if it wasn't Wan Jinwen himself who exposed it, but someone else leaked the secret?

The more Ishida thought about it, the more this seemed possible.

The traitor hid too deeply. He also knew one thing: the information from the Army Intelligence Department had been leaked. According to the information sent back by their insider, the Military Intelligence Department was able to know this. Did they buy it?

It also costs money to incite people to defect. Who can guarantee that they have not incited people from the Army Intelligence Department to defect?
As early as when he was in Nanjing, Xu Qingyun had arrested people from the Army Intelligence Department.

Xu Qingyun knew the Army Intelligence Department very well.

Ishida now pays more attention to Xu Qingyun. He believes that Xu Qingyun has this ability. If this is true, the traitor was not instigated after Xu Qingyun came to Shanghai, but before.

Xu Qingyun has not been in Shanghai for long and had never thought about coming here before.

After arriving, there was a period of chaos at Shanghai Station. Xu Qingyun was not in Shanghai at that time, so how could he have the time to instigate their people to rebel?
Judging from previous events, not only does the traitor exist, but he is not in unimportant groups such as telecommunications and logistics as he had previously thought. He is most likely in the intelligence or operations groups.

The intelligence team is the most likely.

Especially the few people who managed to escape last time and were not caught by the Shanghai Station.

Ishida was a little upset that he was misled by the chief section chief.

I always thought that Shanghai Station didn't know the exact information, so I investigated other people in the station.

People from the intelligence group also participated in the French Concession operation. They were unaware of it, but they were always outside and were responsible for investigating the whereabouts of the agents in the Shanghai station.

If they leaked the information, the Shanghai station would definitely know that their intelligence agents were exposed and would guess that there were actions against them.

"Suzuki, come to my office right now."

Ishida called Suzuki and told him all the new speculations.

"Section Chief, you mean that the traitor is among the three people left last time."

Suzuki's eyes widened. He didn't expect the section chief to guess so many things. This possibility was definitely possible. They were delayed for two days last time. The fact that they were able to escape was itself a suspicious point.

"That's right. Focus on investigating the three of them. There may be more than one traitor. The suspects must be investigated thoroughly."

Ishida nodded heavily. He had a feeling that this traitor wouldn't be able to hide for long.

The more anxious Xu Qingyun was to send him a traitor, the more important it proved. If the traitor was really in the intelligence group, then Xu Qingyun would not be able to hide anything that happened in Shanghai.

Ishida felt a little annoyed when he thought that Xu Qingyun knew so many secrets.

"Hayi, I'll check it out right away."

Suzuki lowered his head and accepted the order. He had indeed never doubted the people in the intelligence team before, but now after listening to the analysis of the section chief, they were indeed very suspicious.

There were two people in particular. The people they were targeting were not far away and were easier to contact. Why were the others arrested but these two were fine?

When I asked them before, they explained that they were delayed due to other matters.

It is very likely that they did not do it, or the Shanghai station deliberately let them go.

The damn traitor, after being caught, Suzuki will skin him alive. Dozens of elite agents of the empire were lost because of this traitor. His crime deserves death a hundred times.

There are only three of us, so it's easier to do the investigation.

Suzuki checked their files first and found out that all three of them had carried out the mission in the French Concession and they were all outside at the time.

One person is responsible for contacting the informant, and he does not know the specific actions.

But he certainly knew that the Chinese agent had been exposed.

Suzuki will track down any suspect to the end, and this time he is determined to find the real traitor.

He quickly finished reading the files of the three people. They were all old people who had joined the Special High Police a long time ago.

Two of them come from poor families.

In Japan, many young people hope to join the army to change their destiny. In particular, the army has a large number of children from poor families.

Join the army or go to military school.

This was the case with these two people. They were admitted to the military academy, studied hard, and were eventually selected into the Special High Class and finally assigned to Shanghai.

The other person's condition is better, but he is more suspicious.

When he was tasked with inciting people close to the Shanghai Station to defect, his target was Nanshi, but he did not come into contact with the target in the end.

The explanation he gave was that he was injured. Suzuki checked and found that he was indeed injured, so he didn't take it seriously.

Now that I think about it, how could it be such a coincidence that I got injured at that time?
It was clearly intentional.

Secondly, during the French Concession mission, he was in charge of the periphery, and the Chinese agents he was responsible for monitoring were the first to retreat.

It is very likely that he passed the information on during the mission.

Damn it.

Suzuki was furious. Such people should be killed, even if there was no evidence. Suspects should not be allowed to stay in the Special Higher Police.

Unfortunately, he does not have this authority, and the person needs to be handed over to the section chief for handling.

The section chief said that there must be actual evidence. The section chief is a proud man and he wants to find out the real traitor and convince everyone.

"Go check..."

Suzuki began to order his men to investigate the whereabouts of the three men, their property status, what they knew, what they had done, etc.

These investigations were conducted using newcomers who arrived in Shanghai later to prevent someone from tipping them off.

Suzuki now has no trust in the old man at Shanghai Station.

The series of incidents made him look down on the people in the Shanghai Special High Section, who were even worse than those in Wuhan.

No wonder the Shanghai Special High Section had encountered so many accidents before, with three section chiefs dying in succession.

Fortunately, their section chief is not an ordinary person, otherwise he would probably be killed by these stupid guys.

At Shanghai Station, Zhao San came to Xu Qingyun's office.

"Stationmaster, something might have happened to Miyagi."

He didn't know the situation of the Special High Police, but he knew what was happening inside the concession, so he had arranged for spies to keep an eye on Changyang.

If anything happens to Gongcheng, he will definitely be implicated. You can tell the situation by looking at him.

Our informant reported today that Changyang is missing and has not been seen for two days.

Changyang is a person who loves to enjoy life. What's more, what he does requires him to contact many people every day. Unless he has to go out for something, he will not disappear for two consecutive days.

What's more, Zhao San had been monitoring him and knew that he had no business that required him to go out recently.

"Ishida is not that easy to deal with. The operation will be suspended from now on."

Xu Qingyun sighed, since Ishida discovered that something was wrong with Miyagi so quickly, the action against the Special High Police could not continue.

Otherwise, Ishida would probably seize the opportunity and cause casualties among them.

Ishida has always wanted revenge, but Xu Qingyun will not give him this opportunity.

"Yes."

Zhao San replied regretfully, there are only two of them. The original plan was to prepare five traitors for the Special High Section. The third one had to stop at the beginning, and the game had to be terminated.

Zhao San treated teasing the Special High Section as a game and had a lot of fun.

Xu Qingyun suspended his plan to avoid losses.

Anyway, these two people can make Ishida very anxious. Recently, the Special High Police has not taken any action against them because they are entangled in these things.

There is also the matter of the Special High Police investigating traitors.

Since Ishida saw through that Takagi was not a traitor, Miyagi, who had not completed his plan, certainly could not deceive him.

This is a good thing. Maybe Ishida will be more convinced that there is a traitor in the Special Higher Police.

There are no people from their group in the Special Higher Police. The more suspicious Ishida becomes, the more trouble he gets into. Xu Qingyun just happens to have time to make other arrangements.

It was almost mid-April, and the war was getting closer.

Xu Qingyun would find a way to put the things that needed to be stockpiled in the concession warehouse first. If the concession warehouse could not accommodate them, he would put them in Suzhou.

It can be taken out and used by soldiers immediately during war.

The training team has not stopped recently and has been training the operational personnel.

The first batch of training consists of fifty people, all of whom are from good families. Those who perform well will be sent to the Military Intelligence Department for further training. Currently, they are mainly training in operational capabilities.

Xu Qingyun has asked Yan Ming to look for the second batch of people.

They are all hooligans.

Xu Qingyun had no plan to use them, but they were well-informed and could be useful in the future, and could be used as cannon fodder at critical moments.

However, if there is someone who really understands the big picture, Xu Qingyun will not give up easily.

Those who just want to get by and make money are the real cannon fodder.

Xu Qingyun has his own principles in doing things.

Most of the sulfa drugs from Singapore have been sent to Chongqing, as well as goods from the United States.

Xu Qingyun is a big customer, and he gets money from many American pharmaceutical companies. They are willing to deliver goods to China. Except for some old and fixed customers, the pharmaceutical companies no longer ship bulk goods, which has caused the price of sulfa drugs in the United States to rise significantly.

There are now cases of purchasing sulfa drugs on the black market in China and bringing them back to the United States for sale.

The main reason is that Xu Qingyun asked for too much.

He has already bought out all the 1.5 million this year and has also booked another 1 million dollars worth of goods.

If he had not controlled the shipment volume, the domestic sulfa price would have fallen further.

However, he will release some of this amount at the last moment so that the people can have some of this life-saving medicine.

At the critical moment, you can not only save your own life, but also maybe save the lives of soldiers.

As for the price inversion, Xu Qingyun knew that it would not last long. After the war broke out, even if he purchased sulfa drugs on a regular basis, the pharmaceutical factories might cheat.

In order to prevent them from not being able to afford it, Xu Qingyun increased the funding from the United States.

Including lawyers, he now has more than 20 lawyers. If the American pharmaceutical companies dare to shirk their responsibilities, all parties will put pressure on them at the same time.

In addition, there are three pharmaceutical factories of its own.

Raw materials were not covered by the contract, so he had to store enough raw materials. Various trucks kept coming during this period, so Xu Qingyun didn't have much cash on hand.

If it weren't for the cash cow of the business that continued to provide him with a steady stream of cash, he probably wouldn't be able to store so many raw materials.

This situation will not last long. Once the war breaks out, the purchase of raw materials will no longer be so crazy.

The other is his properties in Chongqing.

After the fall of Nanjing and the establishment of Chongqing as the temporary capital, these industries could make him more money.

"Section Chief, I now suspect that all three of them are traitors."

Special High Police, after three days of careful investigation, Suzuki's suspicion of the three of them was increasing.

First of all, it’s money. All three of them have money that cannot be traced.

Where does this money come from?

Anyway, they didn't get it openly, maybe it was a bounty given to them by the Chinese.

Secondly, the three of them participated in the French Concession operation and there was a possibility of leaking secrets.

Finally, the three of them went to the concessions many times, and no one knew what they did. So far, only the discovery has been made that they have been to the French Concession and the International Settlement, but no one knows what they did specifically.

"All?"

Ishida raised his eyebrows. He understood that there might be more than one traitor, but to say that there were three of them was a bit exaggerated.

Did Xu Qingyun instigate three people to defect in the Special High Section’s intelligence group?

And what a coincidence, all three of them participated in the previous mission?
After thinking about it carefully, Ishida had to admit that Suzuki's guess was indeed possible.

Or maybe Xu Qingyun instigated more than three people to rebel.

"What about the evidence?"

Ishida asked, and Suzuki lowered his head: "Section Chief, there is no evidence yet. I want to test it with three pieces of false intelligence. If the Chinese know it, we can confirm their identities."

Three people, using three different pieces of information, can easily find out who the real traitor is.

If the Chinese responded to all three pieces of intelligence, then all three of them are.

"No."

Ishida refused without a second thought. This method was fine for normal tests, but now everyone in the class was in a panic, and the real traitor would definitely be alert.

Xu Qingyun was not a fool. When he knew three different pieces of information at once, he would immediately realize that it was a test from them.

"Section Chief, if you are not sure, then just..."

Suzuki made a gesture of wiping his neck. The intelligence department would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go, otherwise the harm would be too great.

"Neither."

Ishida shook his head again. In fact, he had thought about this, but he had promised Tsuchihara that he would find the traitor and have real and complete evidence.

Killing them all might eliminate the hidden dangers, but what if they are not?
Ishida's real purpose is to find the traitor, not to kill people.

"You go back first, I'll think about it."

Ishida waved his hand and asked Suzuki to leave. He sat at his desk and began to wipe his broken knife again.

He likes to think while sharpening the knife.

False intelligence certainly won’t work, but what about real intelligence?

If it is true, the Chinese must respond. He can make a real plan, but when executing it, he will do it according to what the Chinese already know.

Next, let’s see how the Chinese react.

The Chinese have only two options for response: one is to trust the intelligence and respond accordingly.

Secondly, I suspected that he was testing me and ignored him.

What kind of actions can be tested?

After a while, a smile appeared on Ishida's face and he continued to wipe the knife in his hand.

After wiping the knife clean and putting it away, he called Suzuki to arrange the latest action plan.

For this operation, only one person should be informed, and not all three people.

If the Chinese react, it can be confirmed that he is a traitor; if there is no reaction, the three will still have doubts.

Ishida is not an impatient person. He understands that this kind of test cannot be rushed, otherwise it will backfire.

Suzuki soon comes over and Ishida tells him his plan.

The plan was simple: find someone with strong anti-Japanese sentiments to assassinate.

This plan is real, but the number of people will increase when carrying out the mission, and there will be more observation of the surroundings.

If the Chinese intervene, give up the assassination and identify the traitor.

If not, then complete this mission and teach those who keep talking about anti-Japanese activities a lesson.

Assassinations have always been prevalent in Japan, both at home and abroad.

They have assassinated many people and succeeded many times.

"Section Chief, you are really amazing. This is an open conspiracy. It is really brilliant."

Suzuki took the opportunity to flatter Ishida, who was very pleased and nodded with a smile.

What is an open conspiracy? It means that we are not afraid of you knowing it, and even if you know it, you cannot solve it.

They wanted to assassinate this person, but the traitor only knew that there was an action but was not sure about the exact time of the action.

The Chinese didn't take it seriously, so they could complete the assassination.

If the person to be assassinated is informed in advance and allowed to leave, the traitor will be exposed, which is equivalent to actively admitting that the person who knows the truth is their man.

Sending someone to provide constant protection is no different from giving advance notice.

The person to be assassinated this time is in the concession. Even if the police know it, they can still help them determine the identity of the traitor by following him in advance.

"Go."

Ishida waved his hand and asked Suzuki to leave, while he drank tea leisurely.

The intelligence team member who was most suspected by Suzuki received a mission. He and a new member went to the concession to investigate a scholar.

This person has published articles criticizing them in newspapers many times.

Newspapers in the concessions were basically run by foreigners, who dared to say anything. They were already dissatisfied with Japan's coveting China and wanting to seize their interests, so many articles were published that spoke ill of the Japanese.

Hamada received the task without giving it much thought.

The atmosphere inside the Special High Police was depressing, so it was good to be carrying out the mission now. At least they didn't have to stay and guess all day whether the traitor had been found.

Fortunately, the section chief had enough trust in their intelligence team and did not conduct much investigation into the team.

Unfortunately, Hamada didn't know that another person had received a secret mission, which was to keep an eye on him.

This person is a newcomer transferred by Ishida from China. He originally worked under him and is the most trustworthy.

Not only him, Suzuki also arranged two new Special High Police officers to monitor from a distance to see if Hamada had ever gone out alone. They could not follow him, they just had to pay attention to whether Hamada left secretly.

Or did something secretly.

They were all members of the intelligence team. Even if they had not been here long, they knew each other. Once the tracking was discovered, Hamada would definitely know that he was exposed and would most likely escape.

Assassination missions are not carried out directly, they require investigation first.

For example, find out the target's whereabouts and see where is the most appropriate place to take action.

Also, consider how many people are around the target and it’s best to strike when he’s alone.

"Yucheng, are you back from get off work?"

When Yucheng was about to reach home, the neighbor greeted him with a smile, and Yucheng smiled back.

Yucheng works in the British Hospital and usually lives in the International Settlement. He has a wife and children at home. He has only one child, a daughter, who is very cute.

Yucheng has received higher education and speaks fluent English. He is dissatisfied with the current domestic situation. He has not only criticized the Japanese, but also made some bad remarks against the Guo Party.

He believed that the Kuomintang should not engage in civil war, and that the most important thing the Kuomintang should do was to concentrate all its strength and energy to drive the Japanese out first.

There are many patriotic young people like him.

Hamada and his team's surveillance point is not far from Yucheng's home. They will check his home first. Yucheng works in a hospital, which is very crowded and not suitable for setting up surveillance points.

"The boss is back."

After Yucheng parked his bicycle, his wife came up to him immediately. His wife was also an intellectual and a classmate of his.

The two are in a free love relationship.

Yucheng has studied abroad, but his wife has not. However, his wife is well-educated and very virtuous. They are very loving. His wife is a teacher at school and comes home earlier.

My child goes to school at my wife’s school, so it’s more convenient for us to be together every day.

Both husband and wife have high salaries, their children are sensible, and there is no pressure of raising children. Their lives are envied by many people.

Someone once told Yucheng that since life was so good, he should refrain from making radical remarks in newspapers to avoid retaliation.

Yu Cheng is full of passion and will not listen to such advice at all. As long as he finds injustice, he will still write articles to criticize it.

His greatest wish is to use his pen to awaken more Chinese people.

For this reason, he even thought about giving up medicine and pursuing literature.

"Has the child finished his homework?"

Yucheng took off his coat, hugged his wife gently, and asked in a low voice.

"Not yet, but probably soon."

The wife replied shyly and hurried to close the door, but their door was not closed yet.

Hamada held the telescope and watched carefully. After they closed the door, he immediately recorded in his notebook that Yucheng and his wife had a good relationship and were very loving.

His mission was to investigate and monitor, and at that time he was not aware that the Special Higher Police was going to take action against Woo Sung.

For two days they were on the lookout.

"Team leader, there's nothing unusual about Hamada, but he went out yesterday afternoon. As per your instructions, we didn't follow him."

"You went out yesterday?"

Suzuki narrowed his eyes. There was indeed something wrong with Hamada.

"You go back first."

Suzuki waved his hand and asked him to go back. He was a secret surveillance officer. From the moment they received the mission, they knew that Hamada had been suspected by the team leader.

They are newcomers and have nothing to do with these old people. They carry out their tasks according to orders, do not talk nonsense, and will not cause trouble.

"Hay."

Soon, Suzuki asked Hamada to stay at the surveillance point in the name of reporting, and the other person came back.

The team members immediately reported after returning that Hamada had gone out on his own initiative yesterday to buy food.

With two people monitoring, there was no way to cook, so the food problem had to be solved from outside.

On the first day, it was the new team members who went to buy food. Yesterday afternoon, Hamada took the initiative to buy food. He has been in Shanghai longer and has carried out missions in the International Settlement many times before, so he knows where the food is delicious.

The reason seems normal, but who knows what he did when he went out?
Suzuki soon came to report to Ishida.

Hamada went out on his own initiative, and the information may have been leaked.

"Keep watching him. If he is a traitor, the Chinese may take action."

Ishida immediately gave an order. According to Xu Qingyun's personality, if the information was leaked, Yucheng would most likely be notified.

Xu Qingyun had investigated him, and he had also conducted a detailed investigation on Xu Qingyun.

Xu Qingyun graduated from the police academy. He is very young and has a common sense of justice among Chinese young people. However, he is smart, knows how to get things done, and is good at pleasing his superiors. After being transferred to the Military Intelligence Department, he is doing very well.

But he never hurt innocent people.

It can be seen from the incident of exchanging legal tender in Wuhan that he was actually protecting those people, but some people did not appreciate it, forcing him to arrest people by force.

He only arrested people, not harmed anyone, and he didn't ask for anything else except money.

The only person who died committed suicide because he was upset because his money was confiscated.

Judging from these circumstances, Xu Qingyun would approve of Yu Cheng and would not really let them kill anyone.

Then just wait and see Yucheng’s reaction.

"The boss is back."

When Yucheng returned home from get off work, his wife immediately took him into the room.

The person monitoring immediately recorded this.

They were talking in the yard the past two days, but today they went straight into the house, which is a bit abnormal. These must be recorded.

"Old Yu came to see me today."

Yucheng's wife quickly said that Yucheng studied abroad for two years, during which time his wife joined the party and became an underground party member.

Later, the two met again in Shanghai. After consulting the organization, the organization agreed to her marriage to Yucheng.

One year after they got married, she recruited Yucheng into the organization. Yucheng was a person who hated evil and fully agreed with the Red Party's theory. It could even be said that he felt like he had found a soulmate.

He is willing to fight for the Red Party's cause all his life.

"What did Lao Yu say?"

Yu Cheng immediately asked in a low voice, fortunately the Japanese did not install eavesdropping devices in their house.

Yu Ben was just a bait, and the main purpose was to investigate Hamada. Besides, they wanted to kill people, not arrest people, so there was no need to go through the trouble of installing a bug.

"Old Yu said that the organization hopes we can go to Yanzhou, where they need you more."

Yanzhou has no shortage of intellectuals, and many ambitious young people have gone to Yanzhou, but there is a shortage of doctors there, especially experienced Western doctors who can perform surgery.

Yucheng is a very good doctor. When he arrives in Yanzhou, he can save more lives.

"Let's go."

Yucheng agreed without hesitation and said that if the organization needed him, he would go there immediately.

What's more, he was very yearning for Yanzhou.

"Okay, let's set off as soon as possible."

Yucheng's wife said with relief that she had confidence in her man. Although they lived very poorly in the concession, both of them had high salaries.

Especially Yucheng, who has superb medical skills and earns more than three hundred dollars a month in the hospital.

But this is not the kind of day they wanted, they wanted to fight together with their comrades.

"I'm going to pack my things."

Yucheng's wife whispered that Yucheng went to help, and he was always their superior and rarely contacted them on his own initiative.

He had an absolute understanding of Lao Yu, and would never transfer them to Yanzhou unless the organization particularly needed them.

Yu Cheng couldn't help but smile when he thought about going to work in the holy place in his heart.

Nothing happened that night. Early the next morning, they packed their things and went out with their suitcases and children.

Yucheng wrote a letter to the hospital, telling them that something happened in his hometown and that he needed to go back for a while and might not come back.

He did not resign directly because he was afraid that the dean and other colleagues would try to keep him.

The dean was British, but he was very kind to him. When the dean tried to keep him, he didn't know how to refuse, so he simply resigned and left without giving them a chance to stay.

Yucheng's whole family went out together, and Hamada and the others noticed it immediately.

"Hamada, let's go back and report."

The team members around him said to Hamada that Hamada had just gone out the day before yesterday, and Yucheng's family left today. He realized that the team leader's guess was true and Hamada was really a traitor.

He took advantage of the opportunity to go out yesterday to give the information to the Chinese.

"I'll follow them, you go back and report first."

Hamada didn't think much about it. The target was leaving, and he wouldn't do anything until he got the next order. But he couldn't just watch the target leave, he had to follow.

"This is the team leader's order." The teammate suddenly said.

He was the section chief's man and knew from the beginning that the mission was to test Hamada and Yucheng was not important.

Killing Yucheng is just killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, to scare the Chinese people. Without Yucheng, someone else can be killed.

Hamada is a traitor and must be dealt with as soon as possible.

"The team leader ordered it, how come I didn't know?"

Hamada said in surprise, at this time his teammates opened the window completely. Usually when they were conducting surveillance, they would only open a crack to avoid being discovered by the target.

Not only that, he also placed a calendar on the windowsill.

"What are you doing?" Hamada asked in confusion.

"do not move."

The teammate took out a pistol. He had just sent a signal to the people who were secretly monitoring him. They would come to support him as soon as they saw the signal.

With the gun pointed at him, Hamada didn't dare to move. He couldn't understand why the new teammate was pointing a gun at him.

Hamada's gun was searched and taken away by his teammates.

After a while, the two team members who were monitoring them came to the monitoring point. When they saw the new teammate coming, Hamada's eyes immediately widened.

"You guys control him, I'll call the team leader."

It was then that Hamada's teammates went to inform Suzuki. After receiving his call, Suzuki was stunned at first, and then showed excitement.

Yucheng ran away, that's good.

They left in a hurry and didn't even go to work. Why?
Someone must have informed them of the danger and asked them to evacuate immediately.

The section chief is very capable. With a simple test, he was able to identify the traitor.

Regardless of whether the other two are true or not, at least Hamada is the traitor, and they found him first.

"Section Chief, Woo-sung ran away."

After hanging up the phone, Suzuki trotted to Ishida's office. As soon as he finished speaking, Ishida immediately stood up.

"Where's Hamada?"

The mission this time was to test Hamada. It was good that Yucheng ran away, as it was equivalent to helping them.

Hamada went out alone, and then Yucheng left in a hurry. No one would believe him if he said they had no connection.

"They have taken control of it."

"Bring him back immediately and interrogate him immediately."

Ishida stood up, and Suzuki went to the concession personally to bring the man back. Hamada was a traitor, and no problems could be allowed.

Hamada was tied up at the surveillance point as early as before. He was confused at first. After the people who were monitoring him said he was a traitor, he understood what was going on with his mission.

It seems like monitoring Yucheng, but in fact it is identifying him.

But he clearly didn't tell anyone, so why would Yucheng leave suddenly?

There is another traitor. Does he know about this?
Hamada quickly rejected this idea himself. The task force leader only told the two of them, including the people who showed up later, that they had just arrived in Shanghai not long ago, and they could not be traitors.

No one else will know about this mission.

But he really isn’t.

Hamada's mouth was blocked and he couldn't speak, otherwise he would have kept crying out for injustice. He didn't know why Yu Cheng left suddenly, but there must be other reasons.

It’s not him. It’s really not him.

The same goes for Yucheng. He left at this time instead of earlier or later, which caused him a lot of trouble.

After returning to the Special Higher Police, Hamada was taken directly to the interrogation room.

Ishida's face was gloomy. Compared to Takagi, he believed that Hamada was a traitor more.

There are indeed doubts about Takagi's case, but Hamada came to the conclusion through his own testing.

Xu Qingyun did just as he thought. Although he did not take any action, he sent someone to notify Yucheng to evacuate.

They are not under 24-hour close surveillance, and there are no one from their team in the hospital. Xu Qingyun can send someone over at any time to pretend to see a patient and make notifications.
