The Spy

Chapter 340 Closing the Net
Muto was very conflicted. He didn't know whether he should believe Xu Qingyun.

After betraying the Special Higher Police, he had already thought about how to accommodate his family and had made some arrangements before Okada came to Japan.

His father was a sailor and was away from home all year round.

All you need to do is notify your father in advance and prevent him from returning to the country.

In fact, he mainly arranged for his mother and sister. His sister has not yet started a family, so she just needs to come out with his mother.

Japan has cruise ships that go directly to the United States and they can leave at any time.

After thinking about it all night, Muto finally couldn't make up his mind.

The next day when he arrived at the Special High Police, Muto specifically asked for some information about the Shanghai Station. The reason was that other officials in Shanghai had already checked it out, and he came to Shanghai relatively late and wanted to know more about the Shanghai Station.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.

Especially the Shanghai stationmaster Xu Qingyun. If they can understand his thoughts, they will have a greater chance of winning in the future.

Suzuki had only one feeling about what he said: childish.

Even the section chief is no match for Xu Qingyun, so it is wishful thinking for this young man Muto to want to defeat Xu Qingyun.

But Suzuki still encourages his approach.

Not only did he give Muto the information, he also gave him a separate copy of Xu Qingyun's information.

This is the result of a long investigation by the section chief and him.

It is also their secret and has never been shown to anyone else before.

With the information, Muto first looked through the information about Xu Qingyun. The other information actually had no meaning to him.

Xu Qingyun is one year younger than him.

He had known that Xu Qingyun was young, but he didn't expect that he was even younger than himself.

How could someone so young be so scary?
Xu Qingyun graduated from the police academy, caught a Japanese spy and joined the military intelligence department. His subsequent performance was very detailed, and the more Muto watched, the more frightened he became.

Hundreds of imperial agents have been killed by Xu Qingyun.

There are several section chiefs alone.

Xu Qingyun's hometown has been found out by Ishida, Haifeng County. Unfortunately, no one in the Xu family is there anymore. It is said that they went to Chongqing.

The section chief once sent people to Chongqing, three groups in total, with two people in each group.

As a result, no one came back and all of them disappeared.

They were just investigating what happened and why no one came back.

Ishida understood that Xu Qingyun would definitely be very strict in protecting his family, and his people might have been captured by Xu Qingyun.

This time he guessed half right, not all of them were caught by Xu Qingyun.

Xu Qingyun only arrested two groups, and they were arrested by the Xu family guards, and the other group was arrested by Xu Qingshi.

Xu Qingshi had already been appointed as the director of the General Administration. With his ability and his position as the top leader, he would soon have complete control over the police station. The Xu brothers have similar personalities and they all attach great importance to their families. It would be impossible to harm their families.

It is very easy for Xu Qingyun to catch people, and he offers a huge reward for any clues.

The Xu family is known as Xu Bancheng, and it is not just a joke.

It's not just the Xu family guards who are keeping an eye on them, it could be people from all walks of life.

As long as the suspect is found and confirmed, a reward of two hundred dollars will be given.

Xu Qingyun also arranged for people to subdue a lot of gangsters, make friends with the Gelaohui, and win over the warlords.

Among his agents, there is a boss who holds real power here.

It can be said that the Xu family is well-connected in Chongqing, and no one can touch them.

Anyone sent by Ishida would be reported immediately if they tried to inquire about the Xu family.

In addition, Xu’s Trading Company in the concession belongs to the Xu family, and it is possible that it belongs to Xu Qingyun.

Xu's Business was established shortly after Xu Qingyun arrived in Shanghai and grew rapidly thereafter.

Xu's Company had very good relations with the upper echelons of the concession, so Ishida never thought of using the concession to put pressure on Xu Qingyun, knowing that it would be useless to do so.

There is also the relationship with the Xu family.

Mr. Chen from Singapore and the Xu family are old friends. The young master of the Chen family, Chen Changcun, has a very good relationship with Xu Qingyun. The Xu and Chen families jointly opened a sulfa drug factory and their business is booming.

Ishida asked someone for help and found out in the United States that the person who actually obtained the agency rights for sulfa drugs was Xu Qingyun.

In other words, their business is likely to be dominated by the Xu family.

Although Ishida didn't know how strong Xu Qingyun's connections were in the United States, he gave Xu Qingyun a good evaluation of his connections in the United States.

After reading all the information, Muto was a little dazed.

He was not surprised, but shocked and completely stunned.

Just from what the Special High Section has found out, it can be seen that Xu Qingyun is extremely capable. He is not someone who lives on the salary from the Fruit Party. He owns a business and a pharmaceutical factory. He is a complete capitalist.

Ishida guessed that Xu Qingyun had assets worth over 10 million.

The currency is pegged to the ocean.

How many people in China have assets worth tens of millions of dollars?

The other is the sulfa drug agent run by Xu Qingyun, and the list has been obtained by Ishida.

After reading those names, Muto realized that his last idea was a bit naive. Although Tomboy was not among them, any one of them was no less than Tomboy.

There are several bigwigs from the Whampoa clique.

With these people around, Tang Boen couldn't touch Xu Qingyun.

Even if Xu Qingyun failed to rescue the hostages, he could have been completely ignored.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a little fortunate that Xu Qingyun rescued the people and he did not act rashly, otherwise Lan Zi would definitely die and even he would not survive.

If Xu Qingyun gave up on him, he would surely die.

After watching what Xu Qingyun had done twice, Muto finally made up his mind to do as Xu Qingyun asked.

Xu Qingyun is a man of his word and never breaks his promises.

He has influence and money, but compared to Xu Qingyun, he is probably just an ant.

Xu Qingyun’s real target was Ishida, not him. Besides, it would not be a bad thing for him if Ishida died. Otherwise, given Ishida’s personality, he would definitely take revenge on him.

Ishida was born into a noble family, and Xu Qingyun probably wanted to kill such a person with his own hands. He even suspected that the only person Xu Qingyun really regarded as an opponent was the chief section chief.

He guessed wrong again this time. Xu Qingyun did keep his promise, but unfortunately he had the Japanese exceptionalism.

Tuyuan is indeed powerful, but he is not Xu Qingyun's target opponent.

Xu Qingyun did not know who his opponent was, he just wanted to eliminate the Japanese spies and contribute to the war of resistance.

After get off work at noon, Muto immediately sent a reply.

Zhao San quickly received his reply and translated the content.

"Stationmaster, Muto agreed, but he put forward three conditions."

Zhao San returned to Shanghai Station and handed Muto's reply to Xu Qingyun.

There are indeed many conditions, and they can even be said to be very harsh.

First, give him some money. He doesn’t want much, just $20,000.

Twenty thousand dollars isn't enough?
The average annual income in the United States is only a few hundred dollars. He wants people to earn that income without eating or drinking for decades, and he shamelessly says he is not asking for much.

Second, send them all to the United States.

Muto didn't mention his family, he made his own arrangements.

This is nothing. Muto wants to go to the United States, and Xu Qingyun absolutely agrees. After he arrives in the United States and accepts an interview with the reporter, he will find an opportunity to kill him later.

People like him with no background are easy to kill in the United States.

Third, he asked to send Okada and Ranko away first, give them $10,000, and watch them get on the ship. He would then do his best to help Xu Qingyun accomplish this. If Xu Qingyun was worried, he could arrange for someone to escort them to the United States.

After reading it, Xu Qingyun instructed Zhao San, "Tell him that he can agree to the first two, but not the last. If he wants 20,000 US dollars, he must cooperate with me to kill Ishida."

"Yes."

Zhao San took the order. Xu Qingyun couldn't let the two of them go first, otherwise the control on Muto would be weakened.

He would never do such a stupid thing.

In the afternoon, Muto received the reply letter. Seeing that Xu Qingyun agreed to the first two conditions, he felt relieved.

He asked for a sky-high price and bargained on the spot. His bottom line was $10,000, but Xu Qingyun directly agreed to $20,000. It seemed that he was really rich.

With this money, their whole family can live well in the United States.

Muto agreed. He would do anything as long as he could leave. He had already betrayed her, so this didn't matter.

For Xu Qingyun, everything is ready except for the east wind.

"Team leader, we found a Chinese agent in the concession, disguised as a Japanese. I suspect they want to use our name to do bad things."

In the morning, Muto came to report to Suzuki that the so-called Chinese agent was naturally fake, and was the illegitimate child.

Muto lured Suzuki over according to Xu Qingyun's request.

Once Suzuki was gone and Muto killed someone, it became even more difficult for Ishida to explain.

"Impersonating us?"

Suzuki asked in surprise, and immediately remembered the frame-ups against them at the previous Shanghai stations.

Xu Qingyun is very treacherous and he is addicted to doing this kind of thing.

"How did you find out?"

Suzuki asked directly. It was not that he doubted Muto, but he needed to get the situation clear so that he could report to the section chief.

"When I was investigating influential people in the concession, I found that a Japanese had openly contacted him, so I casually asked around and found that it was someone who deliberately impersonated us and had contacted many people, including some high-ranking officials in the French Concession."

Muto replied softly, Suzuki narrowed his eyes and immediately stood up: "Come with me to see the section chief."

The two came to the section chief's office. After Suzuki briefly explained the situation, he asked Muto to report the details.

Muto reported that this person pretended to be a Japanese, but did not say that he belonged to the Special High Police. However, he acted strangely and was often not seen.

He suspected that when this person disappeared, he returned to Shanghai Station and should be an agent of Shanghai Station.

The illegitimate son of the An Teng family came to Shanghai secretly, did not live in the Japanese Concession, and often went out. Not many people knew his true identity.

"Great, it must be Xu Qingyun's trick. Muto, you have made a great contribution. Once I defeat this Chinese conspiracy, I will definitely reward you handsomely and help you get promoted."

Ishida laughed out loud. He had been framed before, and he trusted Muto so much that he didn't suspect that this was a conspiracy against him.

In his heart, Xu Qingyun liked to engage in this kind of conspiracy.

A villain.

"Thank you, Section Chief."

Muto lowered his head and responded. If it were in the past, he might have been very happy and excited.

Now that everyone else is leaving, what's the point of getting promoted?

Muto carried out the plan according to Xu Qingyun's requirements and personally set up surveillance points.

Suzuki will definitely go to the surveillance point, and after he goes there, Muto will go out and kill the illegitimate son of the Anten family and then escape.

The illegitimate child had only one servant with him, who was described by Muto as a companion. Anyway, the Shanghai station always liked to carry out missions with multiple people.

Ishida had no chance to re-investigate the entire plan in detail.

What's more, he didn't suspect Muto and would not investigate further.

“The cuckoo has taken off.”

In the afternoon, Zhao San received a call in the concession, and the other party hung up after speaking.

Zhao San was slightly startled, then showed surprise.

When Suzuki set off, it was the time for them to arrest people at Shanghai Station, with the cooperation of Muto, and now the people who are carrying out the mission are all outside.

They were all staring at them.

There is a shortage of staff at the Shanghai station, but there are also police and other helpers.

No one can escape this time.

People in the concession are difficult to catch, so they are killed directly for safety. Last time they wanted to assassinate the intelligence personnel of the Shanghai Station, so this time they are going to give them a return fire.

Xu Qingyun didn't even let anyone from the Shanghai station show up. He directly hired killers and bought weapons for them on the black market.

There are many killers in Shanghai who are not doing well, and there are even more desperate criminals around who will do anything as long as they are paid.

There is no need to hire your own people to do things or spend money to ensure safety.

It was Jingkou who came forward to look for them.

But Iguchi would not reveal his true identity, and these people only knew that they were hired by the Japanese.

By then, no matter how the police investigate, they will all be blamed on the Japanese.

"Stationmaster, Ishida went there in person."

Zhao San ran back to Shanghai Station as soon as possible. The car drove very fast all the way. After getting off the car, he ran all the way to Xu Qingyun's office.

"Ishida went?"

Xu Qingyun stood up. They knew that Muto had arranged surveillance points and had given Muto several secret codes in advance. If the sparrow flew away, it meant Suzuki had gone there, and if the cuckoo flew away, it meant Ishida had gone to the scene.

If none of them goes, there is no need to make a phone call. If someone else is assigned to take charge of the surveillance point, there will be other signals.

Xu Qingyun has made arrangements for basically every possible situation that can be imagined.

This attentiveness made Muto realize that the section chief was no match for Xu Qingyun.

"Notify all groups to arrest people."

Muto made a phone call and told him that he no longer needed to keep an eye on this side and could close the net.

The killers have been found and are waiting for their news. After getting the deposit and weapons, the killers set out together.

They didn't need to take any action in the concession, all of them should focus on capturing the Japanese agents in Nanshi.

Now there are only ninety left to catch.

There is no need to arrest so many people. The Shanghai station can make better arrangements. The intelligence team and the action team will be mobilized in full force, including the 48 trainees who participated in the actual combat training last time.

Cars drove out one after another. The police station received the order, and the helpers invited by Xu Qingyun in advance went out in groups.

Xu Qingyun was invited from the headquarters. Since there were many people to be arrested this time, the headquarters specially sent two teams from the operations department to provide support.

One team at the headquarters is equivalent to one group at the branch station. Two teams mean 240 people, plus police assistance. This time, a total of 500 to 600 people were dispatched.

Arresting ninety people is equivalent to a ratio of six to one.

Especially the Japanese spy action team members, they were relatively concentrated, and Xu Qingyun's order was that they did not need to be captured alive, and any resisters should be shot dead.

With Muto, Xu Qingyun has sufficient understanding of Shanghai Special High Section.

These are all newcomers and cannot provide any useful information. In order to protect our own people, it is most appropriate to kill them directly.

They were in the dark while the enemy was in the light. They had six times more people than the enemy and it was a sneak attack. It could be said that there was no suspense in this mission. It all depended on how to reduce the casualties on their side.

Two Japanese agents walked out of a private house in Nanshi.

They had big smiles on their faces.

The mission was accomplished and they were very satisfied. After a few days of lobbying and a high reward, the target they chose finally agreed to work for them.

This person's status is not low, and he can help them obtain a lot of useful information.

The successful rebellion was a meritorious service, and both of them were very happy.

The two men were chatting and laughing as they reached an intersection when two huge sacks fell from the sky and were knocked unconscious by a few sticks. Before they fainted, they had only one thought in their minds: they were being robbed.

Similar things happened in other places.

Meanwhile, in the French Concession, Ishida has arrived at the surveillance point and Muto makes a detailed report.

"Well done, Muto. You didn't let me down."

After listening to Muto's true and false report, Ishida praised him, and Muto immediately lowered his head: "It's all because of the section chief's cultivation."

His attitude satisfied Ishita even more.

"Section Chief, do you want to arrest someone?"

Muto asked proactively. Even if they wanted to arrest someone, he would be in charge of the action. Ishida and Suzuki could not lead the team personally.

At that time, as long as he shoots, the target will die, and his men will not know what is going on, giving him a chance to escape.

"No, just keep an eye on it first."

Ishida likes to maximize benefits, which is a bit similar to Xu Qingyun, but Xu Qingyun is more sober than him and understands when it is appropriate to maximize benefits and when it is not.

"Hay."

Muto bowed his head and accepted the order, and continued: "Section Chief, Team Leader, you guys take a rest first, I will take people to check the surroundings."

"Go."

Ishida waved his hand, saying that Muto worked diligently, was hardworking and responsible, and had good luck and ability.

It was right to transfer Muto here. He should have been brought here from the beginning. Unfortunately, he didn't want to come at that time. Ishida did not force anyone.

When he went out with his two most obedient and honest subordinates and reached downstairs, Muto looked up at the surveillance point.

He is about to leave the Special Higher Police, and what he is most looking forward to is reuniting with Ranko.

When passing by the target door, Muto's face suddenly changed: "Not good."

The two men had no idea what was going on and looked at him.

"follow me."

Muto shouted and ran directly to the target's house. The target lived in a private courtyard with a wooden outer door.

Muto had already tampered with the door in advance, so it doesn't require much force to kick it open, and it doesn't affect the normal opening and closing of the door.

"boom."

Muto kicked the door open directly. He had already taken out his pistol. Time was running out. He had to kill the target as soon as possible and then escape.

He chose the surveillance point, which is a bit far from here. The time in between is the time for him to act, and he only has this one chance.

And he had been keeping watch on the spot, knowing that the two were now at home, and knowing their habits, the illegitimate child must be painting at this moment.

The reason why I chose to stay here is not because of the hotel, but because it is quiet here.

The noise startled the people in the room and the servant came out first.

Without saying a word, Muto opened fire.

When he kicked the door, the person who was monitoring him felt something was wrong. Why did the captain suddenly rush into the target's house?

However, he still reported truthfully, and Ishida and Suzuki both came to the window.

They saw Muto raise his hand and shoot, and someone fell to the ground.

Then Muto was seen rushing into the room and three more gunshots were heard.

Ishida frowned and immediately ordered, "Go over and see what's going on."

"Hay."

Suzuki quickly took his men out. At this time, neither Ishida nor he suspected that Muto had ulterior motives. They just thought that an emergency had occurred that they didn't know about, forcing Muto to take action against the two Chinese agents.

He fired three shots in a row, one of which hit him between the eyebrows.

Muto’s marksmanship is excellent and he successfully kills the target at close range.

"Go back and report to the section chief. The mission has been completed. I will evacuate first."

Muto shouted, and the two men were stunned. How did the captain suddenly say that the mission was accomplished?
They are ordinary team members and newcomers, while Muto is the confidant trusted by the team leader and the section chief. They dare not refute Muto's words.

The two men ran out immediately, and Muto ran to a place where he could not be seen by the surveillance point.

There is the bicycle he prepared and some clothes to change.

After quickly changing his clothes and getting on his bike, Muto sped away.

The gunshots attracted the attention of the patrolmen, who instinctively delayed their approach upon hearing the gunshots. However, they were very close to the location, so they could still reach the destination even if they delayed.

Muto had already figured out the patrol habits of the police and deliberately chose places where there were no police to escape.

There was more than one place where shooting took place. Gunfire was heard in several other places in the French Concession and the International Settlement.

The killer took his weapon and attacked frantically.

Most of the gunfire was heard in Nanshi. All the operatives from the Special High Police were together. They stormed those who were not easy to lure and threw grenades directly into their houses.

Those who were not in the house, the Shanghai station took advantage of their numbers, kept firing, suppressed the fire, and then threw grenades like they were free.

They had more people, more guns, and more grenades.

The people from the Special High Police were completely stunned. When they didn't understand what was going on, they went to see Amaterasu.

Xu Qingyun stayed at Shanghai Station, while Zhao Sanze answered the phone, waiting for good news from outside.

"Stationmaster, we have caught six."

"Stationmaster, we killed five, wounded twelve, and captured three alive."

"Stationmaster, report from the French Concession: All six Japanese spies have been killed. Iguchi will pay them the balance."

Xu Qingyun will not withhold the final payment from the killer. Although these people are scattered, they are all vicious, unless they are killed afterwards.

If they escape, it will be very troublesome in the future.

Xu Qingyun is never stingy when it comes to things that can be solved with money.

What's more, it's not his money that is being spent. Chu Zuo knows that he can use money to buy the lives of Japanese spies, so he won't object at all.

"Very good. Any news from Muto?"

Xu Qingyun asked proactively, and Zhao San shook his head: "Not yet."

"Keep waiting."

Not long after, Zhao San received another call and immediately turned around: "Stationmaster, Muto called and the plan has been successful."

"Okay, let's wait and see."

Xu Qingyun finally smiled. This attack could determine Ishida's failure. It all depended on Ishida's final outcome.

He had no way of catching Ishida, so he could only attack in other ways. For Ishida, the huge losses suffered by the Special High Police, even unprecedented losses, were internal troubles.

The illegitimate son of a naval noble was killed by his people. Those people in the navy would never give up these opportunities. They were an external threat.

The result of fighting against them is internal trouble.

Internal affairs are external troubles. It sounds incredible, but it is extremely normal in Japan.

Their navy and army are full of contradictions and are completely irreconcilable.

The navy builds tanks and the army builds warships.

The Marine Corps, the Army Marine Corps, and even later generations, the Army were all trying to find ways to build ships.

The only consensus was that a new air force should not be established.

So they had the Army Air Force, and the Navy Air Force.

The relationship between the two aviation ministries was similar. When the Navy was building aircraft and encountered technical barriers, it bought engine technology from Germany.

The Army would rather buy another one at the same price than ask for it from the Army.

The two groups bought the technology and handed it over to a company to produce aircraft.

The company that received the order was very happy, but was dumbfounded when it heard their requirements.

The Navy did not agree to build the same aircraft as the Army, and the Army was equally unwilling to use the same parts as the Navy.

There was no choice but to build two production lines to produce the aircraft and parts they needed.

Including screws, the rotation direction is different.

The conflict had reached this point, and the assassination of the illegitimate son of the Admiralty Earl was no longer a simple murder, but a provocation by the Army to their Navy.

Let’s see how Ishida gets through this level.

Good news continued to be reported from all places, but casualties still occurred on our side.

The Japanese were very crazy. Even if their attack was intentional and it was a sneak attack, there were still people who were injured by the counterattack. Fortunately, the number was not large.

The battle did not last long and ended soon in various places. Zhao San summarized all the results of the battle.

"Stationmaster, except for the areas within the concession, the fighting has ended. Forty-three Japanese spies were killed, twenty-nine were injured, seventeen were captured alive, and one Japanese spy escaped."

Zhao San first reported their battle results. The other side had a total of 120 people, and under Muto's operation, they were all outside.

Nanshi is the focus. There are ninety people here, and only one person escaped.

Although we failed to achieve complete annihilation, it was still a great achievement.

"What about us?" Xu Qingyun asked immediately.

"Three people from the headquarters operation team were injured, but no one was killed. Four policemen were injured, but two were killed. One of our people was injured, and one was killed. A total of eight people were injured, and three were killed."

Even with several times the force and so many favorable conditions, there were still more than ten casualties.

The Japanese fighting power should not be underestimated.

However, due to their large number and diversity, it is impossible for the headquarters, the police, and their people to coordinate so well.

"The police officers who were injured or killed in the battle will be given pensions according to our standards. The injured will be rescued with all our strength. Those who cannot continue to work will be sent to Chongqing, and I will arrange jobs for them."

The war is about to start, there is no need to send it to Nanjing, just send it directly to Chongqing.

Xu Qingyun has already completed his operations in Chongqing, where he can guarantee the safety of these people.

"Yes."

Zhao San took the order. It was indeed comfortable to follow a good stationmaster. They didn't have to worry about anything during the battle. They knew that even if they died in battle, the stationmaster would take good care of their families.

In the French Concession, Ishida was completely confused. Muto suddenly shot and killed the Chinese agent, and then ran away?

Why did he do that.

"Not good, let's retreat quickly."

Ishida Takeshi's face changed. No matter what the reason, Muto had a serious problem. For their own safety, they must evacuate now.

Unfortunately, they were still a step too slow, and the patrolman was already running over, blowing his whistle.

Ishida didn't want to be arrested by the police, so he immediately opened fire.

Suzuki led people to cover.

Another gunfight broke out in the French Concession, this time between thugs and police.

When Police Chief Cartell found out about this, he was very angry and ordered all the police stations to go out and other police stations to provide support.

He had a very bad day today. First there were gunfights in several places, and now he even dared to fight with the patrolmen.

All troops stationed in the French Concession received orders to investigate this group of thugs thoroughly.

Ishida drove the car himself, trying to rush out of the French Concession. When he arrived at the checkpoint, he saw the French soldiers pointing guns at him and the mounted machine guns, and closed his eyes in pain.

At this point he had already guessed that Muto was a traitor and this time he was out to harm him.

Why did Muto do this, and when was he instigated by the Chinese?
How could Xu Qingyun possibly incite someone like Muto to rebel?

Unfortunately, Muto was not there and he was trapped, so he had no way of knowing the answer at this time.

Ishita dropped his weapon and was taken out of the car obediently.

He was not afraid of being caught by the French, as the French did not dare to kill him. What he wanted to know most was what was going on. If Muto was a traitor, he definitely did not kill a Chinese agent.

Who exactly did Muto kill?
As for the previous mission, at least the one in the concession was most likely leaked by Muto.

The same is true for Takagi's case. He has already believed that Takagi is not a traitor. Since Takagi is not the traitor, then it must be Muto.

He let a real traitor keep an eye on someone who was not a traitor. Ishida really wanted to slap himself twice.

Muto hid too deeply and he was deceived.

This betrayal was even more difficult for him to accept. Once he was free, no matter where Muto went, he would hunt him down and take revenge on him no matter where he went.

The situation on Suzuki's side was not optimistic either. After several people died, he decisively surrendered.

The French will not kill them. If they fall into the hands of the French, the most they will have to do is spend more money. But if they continue to resist, they may be beaten to death.

Suzuki knows clearly what is more important.

"Stationmaster, the results of the battle in the French Concession are out. Of the thirty Japanese spies there, twenty-seven were killed, three escaped, and seven of the assassins died."

The number of killers was also greater than that of Japanese spies. They had more people fighting against fewer people, and it was a sneak attack, but so many people still died, which once again proved the fighting effectiveness of the Japanese.

Zhao San only said that seven people died and did not mention any injuries. It is estimated that there were more injured people.

As for why no Japanese spy was injured, the killer's job is to kill people. Only by killing people can you get money, and you don't leave any survivors.

This incident was obviously done by the Shanghai station, and the French must know about it.

What can they do even if they know? All the senior people will know the truth of this incident, but Ishida cannot escape the responsibility.

Whether it's Japanese or French.

The French wanted money, and Xu Qingyun would be fine as long as he fed them. He hired killers to kill the Japanese and did not do anything to the French.

The Japanese were fighting among themselves, which had nothing to do with him.

As for Ishida, he will definitely be unlucky this time.

"Thank you, Mr. Carter."

Xu Qingyun received a phone call and his smile became even more intense. Ishida failed to escape from the French Concession and was caught by them.

Carter called to blame and to inquire.

His reproach was quickly offset by the gold bars, and he was very satisfied instead.

They travel thousands of miles to become officials just for money. They really think these foreign devils are working for the country and the people. Their real purpose has never changed from the beginning to the end.

"Ishida and Suzuki were both arrested."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Qingyun said to Zhao San with a smile. Zhao San was slightly startled, then burst into laughter.

"Stationmaster, Muto killed someone, and Ishida was caught red-handed. Even if he jumps into the Yellow River, he won't be able to clear himself this time."

"No, if the people above say you are clean, then you are clean. If they don't want you to be clean, then you are not clean. Ishida will be skinned alive this time."

Xu Qingyun chuckled and shook his head. Count An Teng's son was killed, and it was done by an idiot in the army. It was not a big earthquake in Japan, but at least a small earthquake. There would be a lot of arguments to come.
