The Spy

Chapter 347 Beauty Trap

"Go explain this to the chief."

Kamei glared at Kuroki fiercely. He had worked at the headquarters for many years and knew the general manager's character very well. He never asked for excuses, only results.

The chief section chief will not only not believe this kind of excuse for shirking responsibility, but will also punish them.

What Kuroki said was purely self-defeating.

"Section Chief, we wasted too much time before. We must find them as soon as possible, even if it's just one person's whereabouts."

Intelligence team leader Arai said carefully, and Kamei nodded slowly: "Everyone, get out. You must find their whereabouts before the deadline."

If he finds the whereabouts of the person, even if he can't catch him, he can report to the chief section chief.

As long as the target is found, it is only a matter of time to catch him.

The people from the Shanghai Station are in the concession, so we have to arrest them secretly. There will be no problem as long as we catch them and bring them out.

They are unwilling to offend countries such as Britain and France, but these Westerners dare not offend them either.

Among all the forces in the concession, China can be said to be the weakest one.

This is the disadvantage of the Chinese, but also our advantage.

The meeting ended quickly, and all members of the Special High Section Intelligence Group and the Action Team entered the concession. As soon as they started to move, they were discovered by Zhao San and Yan Ming.

The two men were already keeping an eye on them. They had detailed information about the Special High Section in their hands, and these people had long become invisible.

"Stationmaster, they are all out, and they look anxious."

The two came back together to report. Yan Ming said with a smile that they had been secretly following the actions of the Special High Section recently. These people were looking for the Shanghai Station like fools, but they didn't know that the person was right under their noses.

In this case, it's strange that they can find talent.

"It seems that Tsuchihara gave them a deadline mission."

Xu Qingyun smiled and nodded. They knew the whereabouts of the Special High Police and could easily guess their mission. After the fall of Shanghai, the most important mission of the Special High Police was to find him.

Too bad they can't.

"Stationmaster, I'm ready and can act at any time."

Yan Ming reported first that he had three goals, but he did not want to act on all three goals at the same time. Carrying them out simultaneously could save time, but if they were unsuccessful and the other party reported it, it would most likely affect other people.

The work of subversion cannot be rushed. Xu Qingyun is not Ishida and will not be so reckless.

"Stationmaster, I'm ready too."

Zhao San then said that they had been investigating for so many days and could take action at any time.

"Then let's get started. Be safe."

Xu Qingyun nodded. Yan Ming and Zhao San were not in a hurry. They conducted multiple investigations on all targets and finally chose the most promising person to rebel.

"Yes."

The two of them received the order together, and inside the concession, Arai and Kuroki sat together drinking tea.

"Xiajing, there is no clue at all, it's just pure luck, isn't this like looking for a needle in a haystack?"

Hei Mu said sullenly that he was a straightforward person and was indeed good at actions, but he was not good at speaking.

"What can we do? We are all new here. If we can't achieve results, how will the section chief and the chief section chief view us?"

Arai shook his head and took a sip of tea. He said that the tea in this teahouse was good and mellow, and he would come here often in the future.

"We can't be so blind. There are so many people in the concession. If we keep looking like this, we won't be able to find them in a year, let alone a month."

Speaking of this, Kuroki became even more depressed. Shanghai is now the largest city in the Far East, with a total population of four million.

The concession was the most prosperous, and coupled with the impact of the war, one can imagine how many people are there now.

How is it possible to find those two or three hundred people at Shanghai Station among millions of people when everyone is wary of them?

"Let's do things first."

Arai sighed. He knew that Kuroki was right. Without any clues, they could only rely on informants to find clues.

There were photos before, but it turned out that the direction was wrong. The people in the photos were not in Shanghai at all. No wonder so many people couldn’t find one.

Having wasted so much time, they now have to start all over again and they are even less time-constrained.

The two of them are team leaders and commanders, so they can drink tea leisurely.

Others couldn't do that. They all sent spies or asked around on their own.

They were mainly asking about people who entered the concession in the later stages of the war.

The Shanghai Station was previously located in Nanshi, and it entered the concession in the late stage of the war, before the complete fall of Shanghai.

As for those who were replaced, they were most likely here after the fall of Shanghai, so the timing was very critical.

This is also the only area that the Special High Section can target at present.

Even in the later stages of the war, many people still flocked into the concession. In addition, there were so many people in the concession itself, making it extremely difficult to investigate.

The concession is not their territory. If they want to obtain this information, they must mobilize more people to ask.

"this is yours."

Takeda Eiji took out a purse and handed it to the person in front of him. The person in front of him opened the purse, examined it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction: "Hurry up and finish reading it, I need to take it back."

"Don't worry, I'll give it to you later."

Takeda Eiji nodded. He was the captain of the first team of the Special High Section Intelligence Group, and the person in front of him was a concession official he had bribed.

What he held in his hand were the people who had recently arrived in the concession and registered.

It was too troublesome and too slow for them to search on their own, so he paid someone to buy information, hoping to find Chinese agents from it.

If he can find the Chinese agent, he will definitely make a great contribution.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that there were eyes staring at him from behind.

Yan Ming used a telescope to watch Takeda Eiji get into the car, where he took pictures of the information with a camera.

Takeda had a good idea, but it was doomed to fail.

How could such a simple loophole appear? The information of all of them was not about entering the concession during the war, but before that, at different times.

The stationmaster has such a good relationship with the upper echelons of the concession that it is very easy to replace the information.

The webmaster had already installed a patch for finding people through information, so Yan Ming had no worries.

Takeda Eiji is Yan Ming's target.

First of all, he is in the intelligence group, and what he needs most at the moment is the intelligence from the Special High Section. Secondly, he is the team leader and has a certain rank, so he can obtain more important intelligence.

The most important point is that this person is extremely lustful.

Lust is his weakness and he is most easily targeted.

Eiji Takeda used his camera to take pictures of all the information first, so that he could go back and develop the photos and look at them slowly. This method was indeed a good method. Soon he had taken four rolls of film and sent the things back to the man.

Takeda got into the car, but before it started, his eyes suddenly widened.

He noticed a woman walking up ahead.

Very beautiful and sexy woman.

He didn't start the car, but watched the woman walk past his car. After noticing the woman's back, his eyes suddenly widened.

This woman has a big butt, just the type he likes.

He couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and he came to his senses only after the woman walked past an intersection and turned. After looking back reluctantly, Takeda started the car and prepared to return to the Special Higher Police.

His every move was in Yan Ming's eyes.

The woman who just passed by him was the one Yan Ming hired at a high price. She was the bait, waiting for Takeda to take the bait.

The results seem to be good so far. At least Takeda is very interested in this woman.

After returning to the Special Higher Police, Takeda immediately developed the photos.

If you enlarge the photo, you can clearly see the words on it. This information includes hundreds of people who came to live in the concession after the Battle of Shanghai.

He did not look for people who entered the concession during the war because that time period was too long and the number of people was too large.

If we only check after the war, didn't the Shanghai station change a group of people? These people must have come after the war, which can shorten the time.

Not all people after the war are needed, only those within half a month after the war.

He didn't check anyone who had come to the concession recently, which would save him a lot of effort.

He believed that he could find the hidden Chinese agents in this way.

As he was flipping through the books, he thought of the woman he had just met, and his nose couldn't help but itch.

After he finishes his work today, he wants to find a place to relieve his sexual desire, and he must find a woman with a big butt.

He couldn't tell who the Chinese agents were from the list, so he mainly looked at their resumes, screened out suspects, and then investigated them.

It was very late before Takeda finally finished organizing all the information.

He immediately came to Arai to report.

The task is heavy now, and everything done every day must be reported. He is also responsible for summarizing the reports from his subordinates and then reporting them to the team leader.

The team leader then reports to the section chief.

Although Kamei is not a professional agent, he spends a lot of time in the office and does a good job in management.

Ask them to report their work progress every day so that I can understand the situation at any time and prevent them from being lazy.

This is a critical moment, and he will severely punish anyone who dares to be lazy. "Well done, Takeda is a talent."

After listening to Arai's report on all the work of the intelligence team, he immediately noticed what Takeda had done. This method was feasible and might really allow them to find the whereabouts of the agents at the Shanghai station.

"Takeda did a really good job. I plan to have everyone in the intelligence team do the same."

Arai responded with a smile, saying that Takeda's method could be promoted in the intelligence group, so that they could quickly find out who had recently entered the concession and identify the Chinese agents.

"can."

Kamei nodded. The deadline given to him by Tsuchihara was short and he had to find the Chinese agent as soon as possible.

He understood why the chief was so anxious.

Ever since Xu Qingyun appeared, the Shanghai Special High Section has never gained any advantage over Xu Qingyun. Several section chiefs have been replaced, but they were either executed by the chief section chief or committed suicide. None of them escaped alive.

Ishida was a noble, but was also killed by the navy.

Now that Shanghai belongs to the empire, the chief section chief will not allow the Shanghai station to exist forever. This is also the most advantageous position for him. Shanghai is his home ground. If he can get rid of Xu Qingyun, let alone the position of section chief, he can even go further in the future.

Kamei is 41 years old and currently holds the rank of colonel.

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, not to mention that he is only one step away from becoming a general. If he does well, he will have a great chance of promotion in the future.

This is his greatest wish, and he would be willing to abdicate immediately if it were accomplished.

In the evening, Takeda walked out of a men's paradise with a satisfied look on his face.

Noticing his look, Yan Ming smiled even more brightly.

It seems that the woman during the day successfully attracted Takeda, and it would be easy to get Takeda to take the bait next.

While he was doing this, Zhao San was doing something similar.

Like Yan Ming, Zhao San chose a lustful target, and lustful people are easiest to target.

He redeemed a woman from a brothel and trained her. His progress was faster than Yan Ming's. At this time, the target had already slept with the woman he found.

However, his target is the action team, and he is also the captain.

In terms of the importance of the target of rebellion, he is not as good as Yan Ming.

Zhao San would not really compete with Yan Ming. He understood Yan Ming's position in the webmaster's heart, which was unmatched by anyone else.

The next morning, Takeda went out to investigate someone he thought was a suspect.

Do not make direct contact, investigate their situation from the surroundings, and observe them closely when necessary.

Not long after arriving in the concession, he was stunned.

There was a girl shopping in front, the same girl he saw yesterday.

After hesitating for a moment, Takeda quickly got out of the car and walked up to the girl: "Hello, we are destined to meet. I saw you once yesterday. Can I treat you to a meal?"

The girl had been waiting for him, but she still pretended to be surprised: "What time is it?"

"It's okay. I can treat you to a movie first and then we can go to dinner."

When he met the beautiful woman, Takeda forgot about his mission. Yan Ming noticed that he was leaving with the girl and a bright smile appeared on his face.

Things went smoothly after that, and Takeda spent the whole day with the girl.

By the afternoon, he didn't want to separate even though he had to go back to report on his work. However, he already knew the girl's home and could come again tomorrow.

"Team Leader, how are you doing?"

In the evening, Yan Ming went back to report and happened to meet Zhao San.

"Everything went well, how about you?"

Yan Ming nodded slightly. Zhao San had already charmed the girl. The leader of the Special High Section's action team went to the girl again at night.

"It's the same here. I can proceed to the next step immediately."

Zhao San laughed and said that the next step would be to make them jealous and then someone would die.

The dead were Japanese. With Tsuchihara's personality, he would never forgive them for doing such a thing. Zhao San stepped forward again and instigated him to rebel.

It won't work even if he disagrees.

"That's fast, not bad."

Yan Ming smiled and replied that Zhao San's progress was faster than his, but he was not slow either. He would not be in a hurry about such things. The most important thing was to turn the people around.

There is no guarantee that they will report general evidence of crimes after returning, but the possibility of reporting is not high. They are not the confidants of the section chief and team leader, and the dead are Japanese, and they are people of some status.

As long as they agree and provide information a few times, they will never be able to get off the ship again.

The method is simple but practical.

Not to mention now, the beauty trap will also be a common tactic used to recruit spies in the future.

Anyone who is lustful can be easily deceived.

At night, Takeda tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, with the image of the girl from the daytime all in his mind.

The girl's name is very nice, Yingzi.

It reminded him of the cherry blossoms in his hometown.

His task today was to deceive Arai. How could he succeed in his real job if he spent the whole day with the girl and did no research?

He lied that he had checked more than a dozen people but found no evidence that they were Chinese agents.

He will continue the investigation tomorrow and purchase more information for comparison so as to find the Chinese agents as soon as possible.

The next morning, Takeda arrived at the concession.

It wasn't work, but I went to the girl's house, picked her up and then went out for fun for a day.

Things went well today and he held the girl's hand.

He did not tell the girl his true identity. At that time, most Chinese people hated them, the Japanese. He was afraid that if he revealed his identity, the girl would ignore him. So it was another day of fun.

"Stationmaster, it's done. This is his letter of allegiance."

Two days later, Zhao San came to report to Xu Qingyun that his side had made rapid progress and had been successful.

The person he instigated to defect was called Hasegawa, the captain of the second team of the Shanghai Special High Section Operations Group. The person killed by Hasegawa was an injured retired Japanese soldier.

This soldier also has an older brother who works in the Military Police Headquarters with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.

If he were found out, Hasegawa would definitely die.

"Well done."

Xu Qingyun put away the letter of allegiance and the photo. Hasegawa killed someone and was caught and threatened by Zhao San. He had no choice but to compromise.

Zhao San recorded the conversation on the spot and asked him to reveal many secrets within the Special High Section.

By using personnel information to verify, we can find out whether he is lying.

The result was not bad, Hasegawa didn't dare to lie.

Now they not only have recordings of Hasegawa speaking intelligence, but also recordings of him scolding Tsuchihara and Kamei, as well as the Japanese Emperor and Prime Minister and others.

Zhao San learned this trick from Xu Qingyun.

The scolding was an unpleasant one.

Hasegawa had no way back and could only work hard for them.

"I plan to change the reward system. This is the preliminary plan I wrote. Take a look and see if you have any better suggestions."

Xu Qingyun took out a handwritten document and handed it to Zhao San.

After the Shanghai station went undercover, the original assessment and reward system could no longer be used. If one wants his subordinates to work hard, benefits must be present.

All reward systems are subject to change.

The original performance evaluation was changed to other.

The first is the mission. Collecting intelligence, keeping an eye on people, instigating rebellion, assassination, etc. are all tasks, and you will be rewarded once you complete them.

The minimum starting amount is twenty dollars.

They were in the concession, and Xu Qingyun would not give them legal tender. Dollars were the most suitable currency. Even if someone saved it for their family, dollars were more practical than legal tender.

The second is the performance, mainly the performance during the latent period.

For example, rewards will be given for discovering dangers in advance or finding potential vulnerabilities and hidden dangers.

If there is significant meritorious service, the reward will be higher.

Xu Qingyun wrote a rough outline and asked Zhao San to improve it, which was also Zhao San's job.

Zhao San is smart, and Xu Qingyun believes that he can come up with more ideas to improve this system.

Xu Qingyun's guess was correct. After returning, Zhao San began to think about this system.

First of all, the reward method. Xu Qingyun gave all money. Zhao San made some changes. Money is indeed attractive, but many people want to make achievements. Their military ranks are low now, and if they make achievements, they can be promised to help them get promoted.

Now they are behind enemy lines and their work is even more dangerous.

This kind of promotion can definitely help them do that.

The second is position rewards. If the captain does not perform well but the team members do well, the team members will be given the opportunity to be promoted. The captain who is removed from his post will either return to the headquarters or become a team member.

It not only motivated all team members, but also created a sense of crisis for the captains.

This is just what Zhao San thought, and it must be reported to the webmaster. If the webmaster disagrees, this can be cancelled.
