The Spy

Chapter 339 Target Ishida
Nanjing, Military Intelligence Headquarters.

The director looked at the child in front of him and was extremely surprised. Xu Qingyun had someone send a child here?

"Director, Xu Qingyun kidnapped the fiancée of a captain of the Shanghai Special High Section Intelligence Group. The man wanted to exchange his fiancée for his fiancée, so he took the child away. He is Tom Boyn's nephew."

The team member who sent the person away was not in the office, but Secretary Qi had already found out everything.

The director immediately understood what was going on. The Japanese wanted to exchange hostages, but the hostage he captured was rescued by Xu Qingyun.

Xu Qingyun was not fond of Tang Bowen, and Chu Zuo was very clear about this. Before, Tang Bowen wanted him to help put pressure on Xu Qingyun, but he refused.

"Change the child's clothes, give him a good meal, and then send him over."

After thinking for a while, the director whispered that the child had eaten on the way, but it was all ordinary food, and his clothes were also a little dirty.

After Xu Qingyun rescued the man, he quickly arranged for someone to send him to Nanjing, and there was no one to help the child take a bath or change his clothes.

"You are still careful, Virgo."

Secretary Qi took the opportunity to flatter the boss and took the child to take a bath and eat.

The child knew that this was Nanjing and that he would be sent to his uncle soon, so he was no longer so afraid.

The child, who was well fed and clean, was sent to Tang Mansion.

Tomboyne was not in Nanjing, but his family was here. When the child saw his relatives, he could no longer hold back and ran over crying.

The people in the Tang family were very shocked. They had been very anxious these days because their nephew had been kidnapped and there had been no news at all.

This time the kidnappers were very strange and never contacted them to ask for ransom.

Tomboyne used a lot of connections to ask people in Shanghai for help, including several big bosses from the Green Gang.

There was still no news, so the Military Intelligence Department sent them home.

How did the Military Intelligence Department know about this and how did they save the people?

They were very confused, but unfortunately Secretary Qi didn't say anything.

Secretary Qi was in charge of sending people off, but he politely declined their gifts and returned quickly.

Since Tomboyne is not here, it is impossible for Virgo to send the person off in person.

"Boss, there's an emergency at home."

Tomboyne was busy in his office when his adjutant ran in.

"read."

Tomboyne didn't even raise his head. He had a lot of official business to do, and his brother sent him telegrams every day, begging him to save his son.

That was his nephew, how could he not save him.

The key point is that Shanghai is a mixed bag, and now we don’t know who kidnapped the person. How can we save him?
He even suspected that his brother had offended someone and was deliberately taking revenge, otherwise why would he not want the ransom?

It would be fine if someone asked for a ransom, but it would be troublesome if no one asked.

"My nephew is safe. Dai Yunong from the Military Intelligence Department sent someone to take him home. Should we go and thank him?"

The content was not long and the adjutant finished reading it quickly.

Tomboyne was stunned for a moment, stopped what he was doing, and looked up in surprise.

My nephew was found. Did Dai Yunong help him find him?

How did he know that his nephew was kidnapped?
However, when thinking about the responsibilities of the Military Intelligence Department, Tombaughn didn't think it was that strange. They specialized in intelligence work and knew more about many things than they did.

But Dai Yunong was in Nanjing, how could she rescue her nephew who was kidnapped in Shanghai?
Why did he do this?

Also, was the person rescued in Nanjing or Shanghai?
If it was Shanghai, that would be interesting. He knew that the chief of the Military Intelligence Department's Shanghai Station was Xu Qingyun. When he was recruiting sulfa agents before, he didn't give him any face and directly rejected him.

"Call the family back, you don't have to go to their house to thank them. Also, call the Military Intelligence Department and ask them what happened and who the kidnappers are when you express your gratitude."

Tang Boen instructed that it was a good thing that his nephew was rescued, after all, he was a flesh and blood of their Tang family. Once the person was sent to him, he could also give an explanation to his younger brother.

"Yes."

The adjutant left to send the message, and soon the telegram reached the director.

"Tell them that Xu Qingyun accidentally saved someone and sent him to Nanjing."

The director understood that Xu Qingyun did not want to have anything to do with the Tang family, otherwise he would not have sent the person to Nanjing and asked him to hand him over.

Virgo was very satisfied with this favor given to him.

He would not get too close to Tomboyne. He was a member of the Imperial Guard, and getting close to a general leading troops was a big taboo. He would not do such a stupid thing.

But it's also good to be able to do a favor, at least it can repair the previous relationship.

Tomboyne is a mean person. He already holds a grudge against me because I didn't help him.

"It's really Xu Qingyun, why doesn't he just send him home?"

After reading the reply, Tang Boen frowned. His nephew's home was in Shanghai, and Xu Qingyun saved him but sent him to Nanjing. Was he going to a far place instead of a near place?
The Military Intelligence Department didn't explain much to him. Muto's matter was confidential and could not be told to anyone.

Before sending the child away, Zhao San asked the child, but the child did not know the kidnapper's true identity.

The child was too young and was fed medicine and forced to sleep every day. I had no idea what was going on.

"hateful."

After a while, Tomboyne was suddenly stunned and pounded the table angrily.

He figured out what was going on.

Xu Qingyun didn't want to have anything to do with the Tang family, so he sent people to Nanjing and asked Dai Yunong to do him a favor.

How could a small colonel station chief treat him like this?
Soon, Tang Boen lost his energy again. Xu Qingyun had never given him face, but he could do nothing about Xu Qingyun.

He and Xu Qingyun do not belong to the same system, and he has no management or command authority over Xu Qingyun.

Dai Yunong protected him, and he had no way to stop her.

Xu Qingyun even won over ten agents. These people made a lot of money from sulfa drugs. If he wanted to deal with Xu Qingyun, these ten people would definitely not agree.

In other words, Xu Qingyun has ten big guys around him who are no less powerful than himself.

But he just couldn't figure it out, what would happen if there was one more him?

Why does Xu Qingyun look down on him so much?
He didn't even think about what he had done. Xu Qingyun knew that he would do worse in the future and didn't want to associate with such a person.

The people Xu Qingyun looked for were not all upright, but at least they were morally upright and had made contributions to the anti-Japanese war.

What was Tonborn's contribution?
Xu Qingyun was too lazy to think about it.

Tang Boen had no way to deal with Xu Qingyun. This time it was Xu Qingyun who saved his nephew again. He even thanked Xu Qingyun openly.

However, he has completely remembered this grudge and will take revenge when he has the chance in the future.

He would make Xu Qingyun regret treating him like this.

At the Shanghai station, Xu Qingyun didn't know that Tom Boyne was scolding him, and he wouldn't care even if he knew.

Tombaugh can't do anything to him now, and he will be even more helpless after the war breaks out.

By then, the old man will need more support from international forces, as the relationships he has built abroad far exceed those in China.

"Stationmaster, look."

Zhao San walked in with a smile. He received the threatening letter that Muto had placed in the dead mailbox.

And that photo.

It's a pity that these things are of no use at all. Muto still doesn't know that the people he kidnapped have returned to their families.

"Show him the stuff, and warn him that if he dares to do something like this again, we'll chop off Lan Zi's hand and give it to him."

Xu Qingyun shook his head and said that Muto was not honest and needed to be taught a lesson.

"it is good."

Zhao San responded that the stationmaster was still soft-hearted. Muto had openly betrayed him. In his opinion, this time he should at least chop off one of Ranko's fingers as a warning.

The webmaster simply had Lan Zi beaten up, which was too light a punishment.

However, if Muto dares to do this again, next time Ranko will not only be beaten, but will definitely suffer more severe punishment.

After get off work in the afternoon, Muto finally saw the signal he wanted, and the Chinese gave him a reply.

Muto's heart beat faster, but he resisted the urge to get the reply now. After walking around his house, he immediately went to his mailbox to get the reply from the Chinese.

When he returned home and opened the things inside, Muto's hands and feet instantly felt cold.

The reply letter gave him a stern warning and brought him two photos.

One is a photo of Lan Zi being beaten, and the other is a photo of the child.

The background of the photo of the children was a train station, and they were wearing the clothes they were wearing when they were kidnapped.

Military Intelligence has found the child and rescued him?
For this reason, he specially beat Lan Zi to warn him, and told him that if he dared to play tricks again, he would give him Lan Zi's hand next time and let him touch it every day.

How is it possible? He was so careful. The police and the Green Gang couldn't find the child. How did Xu Qingyun find it?
Muto did not act impulsively and stayed awake all night. The next afternoon, after get off work, he disguised himself and rushed to the International Settlement.

He was worried that Xu Qingyun gave him old photos of his children and that the Chinese did this on purpose to trick him out so that they could find the hostages.

When he arrived at Okada's residence, Muto knocked on the door several times, but there was no response from inside.

At this time, Muto had already understood that the photos sent to him by the Chinese were real.

But he still didn't give up. He climbed over the wall and finally saw that there was no one in the messy room. The whole person was just standing there.

Not only did his kidnapping attempt fail to rescue Ranko, but he also killed his best brother.

Xu Qingyun, it's Xu Qingyun again.

Muto's eyes were blazing with anger and his heart was filled with misery. He did not dare to stay in the International Settlement for long and returned to the Japanese Concession before the checkpoint was closed.

After returning, Muto forced himself to calm down and wrote a letter admitting his mistake.

He had to first stabilize Xu Qingyun and ask him to release Okada.

Okada was purely here to help him. Okada was not in the intelligence department and had no use to the Chinese.

He also took the initiative to report a piece of intelligence that the Special High Section had recently investigated influential Chinese people from all walks of life in Shanghai, including many officials, and was preparing to take action against them or to incite those around them to defect.

Muto also submitted a list of people who were planning to rebel.

He conducted the investigation, and after Suzuki discussed it with Ishida, he asked him a lot of questions and finally finalized a list of 20 people, planning to incite them to defect.

Muto knew best.

"Stationmaster, Muto is scared."

The next day, Zhao San retrieved the information and immediately reported to Xu Qingyun.

"Let him go, tell him it's impossible, he has to bear the consequences of his own actions."

Xu Qingyun smiled and said that Okada would not let him go, but he would not kill him now either. Through interrogating Okada, Xu Qingyun already knew that although he had retired, he had the blood of Chinese people on his hands when he was in Northeast China.

It is impossible to let go of such a person.

But you can keep it, as an extra hostage to threaten Mutou.

"Yes."

Zhao San took the order and left. The information that Muto voluntarily provided was good, and there was hope of catching another group of Japanese spies.

After receiving the reply from the Chinese, Muto's face was full of bitterness.

They did not agree to release Okada and wanted to see his performance. If he performed well in the future, they could give Okada and Ranko better treatment.

If they truly surrender, we can let them be together in the future and work together for the Military Intelligence Department.

Failed to rescue Ranko, and got involved with Okada.

Muto finally understood that Xu Qingyun was indeed terrifying. Even their section chief was no match for him. Yet he was delusional enough to want to compete with Xu Qingyun. It was simply ridiculous.

The key point is that he had no idea how Xu Qingyun found that person.

He had only been there once, and that was to take pictures.

But he was very careful along the way, and with four different anti-tracking actions he made sure that no one was following him.

Not only did he go to crowded places, he also stopped in one place for a long time, and even crossed an area with few people and responsibility, always paying attention to his back.

No one was following him, so how did Xu Qingyun find Okada?
Okada took the child back and covered him with a cart so that no one saw him.

After that, the child never went out of the house. Okada kept a close eye on him and didn't let him shout. Muto scratched his head but couldn't figure out how Okada was exposed.

As for the voluntary leakage of this information, he was not too worried.

He was in charge of the case and it was true that he was an insider, but he was the one who found all these clues.

There were many people carrying out the mission, and he told the Chinese that even if they had to arrest people, they should not arrest all of them, but at least leave a few behind.

To avoid Ishita from suspecting him.

He is of great use to the Chinese people and the Chinese will not give him up easily.

"Team leader, the progress is good. All our people have locked onto the target."

Two days later, Muto came to report to Suzuki. Suzuki was the overall person in charge of the rebellion mission, but he was the one who actually carried out the executor.

"Very good. Once the funds arrive, you can take action immediately."

Suzuki nodded slowly. Takagi took out a part of the previous funds and exchanged them for silver dollars. Unfortunately, after several redemptions, there were not many silver dollars left, which were not enough to support the rebellion of so many people.

Ishida specifically applied for a large sum of funds from Tsuchihara.

The people to be instigated to rebel this time are from all walks of life in Shanghai. Tsuchihara is very supportive and praises Ishida, telling him not to rush to deal with Xu Qingyun as it is difficult to start with the Shanghai station, so he should do a good job of the surrounding work first.

In Tsuchihara's opinion, there was absolutely no problem in inciting these people to rebel.

"Yes, team leader."

Muto lowered his head and replied that with him around, the mission would be impossible to succeed.

He now has a deep understanding of Xu Qingyun's methods. No wonder the previous operations were leaked many times. He believes that Xu Qingyun still has spies in the Special High Section, and the information he was asked to provide before must have been already in the Chinese.

Deliberately testing him to see if he would give false information.

Fortunately he didn't.

"Stationmaster, we found two more."

Yan Ming came to report that with the help of Muto and a detailed list, it would not be difficult to find these people. However, Zhao San still did not completely believe Muto. He was very careful when investigating, only on the periphery, and expanded the scope.

If any suspicious person is found in the dark, the action team will provide support at any time.

Especially within the concession, they were more cautious.

"Be safe, don't take any action for now."

Xu Qingyun instructed that the Special High Police were instigating twenty people to defect at the same time. Many people were mobilized and they were unaware of each other. In order to avoid the first situation from happening again, when selecting people, they were deliberately asked to go to places far apart.

The entire Special High Section intelligence team was dispatched, and each of them was accompanied by four members of the action team. It can be said that this is Ishida's biggest move recently.

If this group of people is lost, Ishida will be completely finished, and the head of the Shanghai Special High Section must be replaced.

However, what Xu Qingyun wanted was not dismissal, but Ishida's life.

After being dismissed, if Ishida went somewhere else, including returning to Japan to continue his intelligence work, he would also be a threat to the Chinese people in other places.

This time he must be killed with one blow, leaving Ishida with no chance of recovery.

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

Yan Ming replied that Xu Qingyun was indeed at ease. After entering the Military Intelligence Department, Yan Ming was the first person to follow him.

He has grown a lot over the years, has rich experience in handling cases, and is able to deal with all kinds of emergencies.

Time passed slowly, and Muto did not dare to kidnap any other hostages to exchange for Ranko.

First, because of Xu Qingyun’s warning, he didn’t dare to take any risks.

Secondly, he had no help, and it was inconvenient for him to do these things alone.

Now he could only take one step at a time and do things according to Xu Qingyun's requirements. He also made a request, asking Xu Qingyun to give him a sum of money every time he provided information.

He would not put this money in public, but keep it secretly.

With enough money, I can perfect the plan in the future and see if I can rescue them both.

Besides, after escaping, they will need money to live.

"This kid wants money, that's a good thing."

After receiving Zhao San's report, Xu Qingyun smiled and shook his head, but it was also possible that Mutou deliberately paralyzed them.

They will not let down their guard against Muto and will keep a close eye on him at all times.

"Stationmaster, do you want to continue to instigate the other two?"

Zhao San took the initiative to ask, Yan Ming was checking the list provided by Muto, it was a case of the intelligence team.

His actual job is the stationmaster's secretary and he is not responsible for handling cases, but he is capable and the task of persuading Muto to rebel was given to him.

Apart from him, no one else at Shanghai Station knew Muto's identity.

Even those who followed Zhao San to carry out the mission only knew the mission at that time and were not clear about the specific situation, except for the people who were guarding Lan Zi.

However, they are purely guarding and have no contact with the outside world.

Although there are no more Special High Section personnel in the Shanghai Station, Zhao San will not let anyone know about matters that should be kept secret, including those who are trying to obtain intelligence.

They could guess that someone had rebelled within the Special Higher Police, but they didn't know who it was.

As for the Japanese ronin who had completed the mission of instigating rebellion inside the Japanese Concession, Zhao San had found an opportunity to kill him.

There were many poor Japanese people in Shanghai, and there were plenty of them as cannon fodder.

Xu Qingyun had no psychological burden when it came to killing the Japanese.

"You can continue, but be careful."

The remaining two people both have weaknesses, so let Zhao San do it. It would be best if he succeeds, but even if he fails, it doesn't matter.

"Yes, stationmaster."

Zhao San happily accepted the order, playing tricks on the Special High Police was his favorite job, and now he had successfully incited one of them to defect. If these two people were also incited, not to mention that they knew everything about the Special High Police, at least it would be difficult for them to hide anything from the Shanghai Station.

Didn’t Ishida suspect that there was a spy inside? There was no such spy before, but there is now.

Zhao San was busy, and Yan Ming was also very busy, so he borrowed some people from Fu Wenzhen.

With precise targets, it is easy to find the Japanese.

As long as these Japanese move, they will be discovered.

Even Yan Ming only knew that there were people from the Special High Police, but he didn't know who they were.

He knew that it was Zhao San who did it. Zhao San successfully placed a spy in the Special High Section so quickly. He was not jealous, but happy.

Of course, he will do better and use his achievements to prove that he deserves to be the best person around the webmaster.

"Team leader, they have become much more timid. They only started to act today. I almost thought I suspected the wrong person."

A captain of the intelligence team came back to report to Yan Ming that they had people around the twenty targets. Most of these people were in Nanshi, and there were only five in the International Settlement and the French Concession.

The people in South City hold the power, and as for the concessions, most of them are people with greater influence.

Ishida now needs the cooperation of the Chinese to help him bring down Xu Qingyun and deploy more forces here.

"It's better to be careful. Don't underestimate the enemy. You know the stationmaster's temper. If you underestimate the enemy and make mistakes, I won't protect you."

Yan Ming said seriously. The captain was stunned for a moment, then stood up straight immediately: "Team leader, rest assured, I will never let you and the stationmaster down."

He is the captain of Team Three and a veteran of the former Intelligence Group Four.

When the members of Intelligence Group 4 arrived at Shanghai Station, there was no ordinary member left.

The lowest rank is team leader, and many have even become group leader or deputy group leader.

Needless to say, Yan Ming, Jiang Cheng and Dai Jieying are now team leaders.

The webmaster has nothing to say about these old team members, and they will also work hard and not embarrass the webmaster.

"Okay, let's go."

Yan Ming wanted to wake him up mainly because he saw that he looked down on the people from the Special High Section.

He believed in his men, and as long as they took their work seriously, nothing would go wrong.

As the first person around Xu Qingyun, he knew very well that Ishida was not so easy to deal with. Ishida was smart and had strong professional ability. If it were not for his weakness in politics, he would not have been beaten so badly by the stationmaster in the beginning.

But there was nothing wrong with Ishida's arrangement.

If you really underestimate him, you will probably learn a painful lesson in Shanghai.

Yan Ming had a feeling that the webmaster had been getting stricter recently. He didn't understand the reason, but he knew that if he made a mistake at this time, he would probably pay a heavy price.

The lightest punishment will be kicking out of the Shanghai station.

He didn't want any of his men to leave, especially the old men from Intelligence Group 4.

A few days later, Yan Ming identified all the Japanese around the twenty targets.

With Muto's information, the investigation was easy. They found all 120 people, including intelligence and operations personnel from the Special High Police.

Without Xu Qingyun's order, Yan Ming did not take any action for the time being.

"Stationmaster, one success."

Zhao Sanlai reported the good news to Xu Qingyun. The person who instigated the rebellion this time was in the General Affairs Group. Gao Mu was wronged before, but this time it was the truth.

This man is a filial son and has an elderly father in the country.

Zhao San used the same old trick again and sent people to kidnap his father, but this time he did not bring him back to the country, only brought back photos.

His father is old, withdrawn, and not very mobile, so there is no need to bring him back directly.

At first Xu Qingyun was a little hesitant about this plan.

However, after learning that this man's father had been a soldier, who had fought in the Sino-Japanese War with Yamagata, attacked Liaodong, and killed many people, he immediately approved the plan.

Not only do they kidnap people, they also have to get rid of them afterwards.

"Very good, keep an eye on him and get rid of him when necessary."

Xu Qingyun nodded. Muto was the most important person at the moment. Muto suggested not to arrest everyone, so how could Xu Qingyun agree?

As long as there is a chance, he will take as many as they want.

But there is no rush to act, he still needs a better opportunity to force Ishida to death completely.

"How's the investigation going for you?"

Xu Qingyun asked, and Zhao San immediately replied: "We have already found a group of influential Japanese or noble children in Shanghai. Most of them are in the Northeast. However, I heard that the illegitimate son of the Japanese Count An Teng came to Shanghai recently. I am sending someone to inquire about his whereabouts."

“Verify as soon as possible”

Xu Qingyun asked immediately, and Zhao San took the order and left, trying his best to track down this person.

"Yes."

Zhao San took the order and left, while Xu Qingyun sent a telegram to Mr. Chen, asking him to help investigate some matters concerning Count An Teng.

Many of Japan's aristocratic families have been around for a long time, intermarrying with each other, and there is a lot of intertwining between them.

Similarly, due to serious internal strife in Japan, many families are also at odds.

He wanted to see if there was a chance to force Ishida to death completely.

A day later, Mr. Chen called back.

It was easy to research the affairs of the Japanese nobility. Among the people he knew were nobility, and he happened to know Count Anteng. Without asking him in detail, he knew a lot about Count Anteng.

Count Anteng is a member of the House of Lords and has a certain influence. Count Anteng comes from the navy and is naturally incompatible with the army.

His relationship with Count Ishida was strained.

There are more nobles coming from the navy, and they generally look down on those nobles coming from the army.

Noticing this, Xu Qingyun smiled.

It's good that there are conflicts. Count Anteng is a very supportive navy man and looks down on all the army nobles. There is no need to ask in detail. His relationship with the Ishida family is not very good.

"Zhao San, have you found the person?"

In the afternoon, Xu Qingyun called Zhao San over, and a preliminary plan had already formed in his mind.

Then perfect it.

"Stationmaster, not yet. Give me some more time and I will definitely find it."

This illegitimate child came to China secretly. He has found clues and believes that he will be found soon.

"Okay, as soon as possible."

Xu Qingyun nodded. An illegitimate child is still someone else's son. What would Count Anten do if he knew that Count Ishida's son killed his own son?
Coupled with the attack from the Special Higher Police and Muto's betrayal, even if Ishida did not commit seppuku himself, he would have no chance of entering the General Staff Headquarters after returning to Japan.

This was his best result.

"Yes, stationmaster."

Zhao San understood that the stationmaster wanted to make use of this illegitimate child to make a fuss, so he immediately rushed to the concession and mobilized more people to help him find the person.

As long as this illegitimate child is in Shanghai, Zhao San believes that he can find him.

"Section Chief, we have successfully persuaded two people to defect. Do you want to add some more targets?"

Muto came to report to Suzuki that this was the Chinese's request. Xu Qingyun asked him to extend the mission time and immediately find new targets for the people who had rebelled.

Xu Qingyun was very greedy and would not let any of these people go.

After completing the mission and returning to the Special Higher Police, he no longer had the chance to catch anyone.

It was already mid-June and the war was about to begin. It would be good to destroy the combat effectiveness of one of Japan's intelligence departments during the war, which might reduce the casualties among our countrymen.

"Okay, you go and make the arrangements, and I'll report to the section chief."

Suzuki was very happy with the results. He had previously felt that twenty goals were too few, and Muto's suggestion was exactly what he wanted.

"Good Muto, keep going."

Sure enough, Ishida did not refuse them. Twenty people were indeed not a lot. There were more than seventy Chinese who had been instigated by the Special High Police from all walks of life to defect. If the intelligence team leader Matsumoto Jun had not been caught and defected by the Chinese, they would not have been lost all at once.

Twenty is only one-third of the previous number. If he can restore the original number and give him a more important position, he will be able to prove himself as the best among all the heads of the Shanghai Special High Section.

"Hay."

Suzuki was very happy. Now he no longer had to worry about traitors and could work seriously.

Especially the old people who followed them before, are working very actively under Muto's leadership. Everything is moving in a good direction. Suzuki is very much looking forward to the future.

"Stationmaster, I found the person. This guy likes painting. He went out to sketch a few days ago and just returned to the French Concession."

The next morning, Zhao San returned from the concession and immediately came to report to Xu Qingyun.

"Send a letter to Muto, asking him to help assassinate this man, and tell him that if he completes this mission, I will send him away from China, including his woman and friends."

Xu Qingyun nodded. Muto was Ishida's confidant. If he went to kill people, Ishida would not be able to explain it clearly.

"Stationmaster, will he believe it?"

"If you don't believe me, kill Ranko and Okada. Tell him clearly that my target is Ishida, not him. We have caught someone this time. No matter who leaked the information, the Special Higher Police will track him down to the end. Ranko's family has called the police in China, so he must be exposed. If you want to live, you have to listen to us.

"Once Ishida dies, he will be useless. We won't do anything too much to him, otherwise those who try to rebel in the future won't trust us anymore."

"clear."

Zhao San took the order. As expected, the stationmaster asked him to investigate the illegitimate child as a big move. Muto went to kill people, and then explained that it was Ishida who instructed him to do it. Combined with the loss of the Special Higher Police, Ishida would no longer be a threat to them in the future.

After Zhao San left, Xu Qingyun continued to perfect the plan.

Now we have to notify Muto to kill people, but the specific steps still need to be deployed in detail.

Ishida is definitely doomed, and it doesn’t matter whether Tsuchihara believes it or not.

Xu Qingyun has a more detailed understanding of Tsuchihara. Tsuchihara is the chief of the Special High Section. In terms of ability, he is no less capable than Ishida.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to lead the Special High Police so well, and he would not have caused a lot of trouble to the Chinese during the war.

It doesn’t matter whether Tsuchihara believes it or not. He is in trouble anyway because the Special Higher Police killed Count Anten’s son.

If you want to divert the trouble away, or not take the responsibility, Ishida is the best scapegoat.

He would have done the same even if he knew the truth.

So, when Xu Qingyun first made the plan, he never thought about hiding it from Tu Yuan.

Even if Tu Yuan guessed the truth, Xu Qingyun would still get the result he wanted.

"kill?"

When Muto received the notice, he was stunned. He didn't expect the Chinese to be so cruel and asked him to assassinate a Japanese in the name of Ishida.

He knew the identity of this Japanese man, the illegitimate son of a domestic noble.

Xu Qingyun did not hide this from him. Many people knew about Count An Teng's illegitimate son. Besides, Muto was not a fool. He would investigate the identity of this person before killing him.

At night, Muto suffered from insomnia again.

The Chinese promised him that if he completed the mission, he would be able to reunite with Ranko. Since they could not return to Japan, they could go anywhere they wanted. The Chinese could even arrange for them to board the ship.

As for his relatives in Japan, let him make his own arrangements.
