The Spy

Chapter 355: The Section Chief is a traitor?
Yan Wu was not drunk, and was stunned when he saw someone throwing an envelope to him.

"Boss, what is he doing?"

The younger brother next to him asked in surprise, Yan Wu immediately shook his head, picked up the envelope, opened it and took a look, his face suddenly changed.

The content was very simple and he recognized the handwriting. It was written to him by Yan Ming.

There is only one sentence on it: The Japanese are targeting you, leave quickly.

Why would the Japanese target him?

Yan Wu didn't have time to think about it and stood up immediately.

"Boss, where are you going?"

When the younger brother saw Yan Wu putting on his clothes, he immediately asked. At this time, Yan Wu was sober. He had followed Yan Ming and was very familiar with the Japanese style. Moreover, the Shanghai War had just ended a few months ago, and he had witnessed so many tragic scenes in the city with his own eyes.

He knew what would happen to him if he fell into the hands of the Japanese.

"Go, go quickly."

Yan Wu didn't bother to explain and hurried away with his younger brother. The shopkeeper didn't even dare to ask, because Yan Wu had never paid for his meals here.

In the distance, Yan Ming put down the telescope, his eyes a little cold.

Yan Wu owed 18 dollars to this small restaurant, and more to other places, which added up to more than 100 dollars.

And it’s only been these few months.

Yan Wu deserves to die.

He will make up the money. As for Yan Wu, the more than one hundred dollars is his life-saving money, and he will definitely die this time.

He wouldn't be able to survive if he surrendered to the Japanese.

His greatest value to the Japanese is himself. If the Japanese cannot get any clues from him, or cannot get what they want, the Japanese will not spare Yan Wu.

It's just that before he dies, he can bring out his greatest value.

"not good."

Noticing Yanwu's sudden departure, Arai's face changed, thinking Yanwu was likely to run away.

Someone passing by just now threw an envelope to Yan Wu, and he left after reading it. It must be something very important. Either he knew that he was exposed, or he had another urgent task.

Arai cannot take risks, let alone gamble.

If Yan Wu escapes, the section chief will not let him go. He knows best how much the section chief values ​​this case.

"Arrests."

Without hesitation, Arai gave a decisive order. If there really was an urgent mission, there would still be room for remedy after catching the person and finding out the situation.

If he escaped, the responsibility would be too great for him to bear.

Fortunately, he attached great importance to this case and had enough manpower around him. Even in the concession, his people would have no problem dealing with a few small thugs.

He has a safe house here where he can hide himself and also conduct secret interrogations, and make decisions based on the results of the interrogations.

After entering the bend of the alley, Taguchi's speed suddenly increased.

He was very familiar with this area and understood that there were agents from the Special Higher Police following him.

He is not afraid of a few people following him.

Taguchi was the deputy leader of the action team and had absolute confidence in his abilities.

Otherwise, he would not have dared to sneak into the Wuhan Special High Section alone and try to assassinate Xu Qingyun.

He can get rid of the small number of agents.

The people following behind didn't dare to get too close, and when they turned around, they could no longer see Taguchi. The two men reacted quickly, one came in and followed slowly, while the other hurriedly jogged over from the other side to check the situation.

They have been monitoring this area for almost a month and are familiar with the road conditions here.

But they were a step slow.

Whether those who followed or those who took a detour lost their target, they lost the person.

On the other side, Xin Jing was doing relatively well. However, the idiot Yan Wu did not know how to run to crowded places, but instead went through a small alley. He was blocked by Xin Jing and his men, and was taken to a safe house along with Yan Wu's three younger brothers.

Inside the safe house, Arai had anger in his eyes, and in his hand was the letter that Yan Wu had just received.

They were exposed, and someone informed Yan Wu to escape.

For Arai, the most critical question is how were they exposed?
It definitely wasn’t Yan Wu’s fault. If it was him, he wouldn’t have run away on his own without someone notifying him.

Apart from the section chief, only those involved in the operation knew about this mission.

He has always been with these people and has never let them leave alone. How did the Chinese know this?

The leak will not last long, just these two days, or even just this day.

So the Chinese took the risk to come over to inform him. If that was the case, the team he sent to follow the man would most likely get nothing.

People know they are there and will evacuate immediately after being notified.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Noticing Arai's gloomy eyes, Yan Wu's heart beat faster and he kept whimpering.

As soon as he received the notice, he was arrested. He knew very well who arrested him, but eventually he fell into the hands of Japanese spies.

"I asked you to speak, but you are not allowed to speak loudly. Otherwise, you know the consequences."

Arai took out a sharp knife, put it against Yan Wu's neck, and warned him fiercely. At this time, Yan Wu was tied up and his mouth was blocked. With the knife against him, he didn't even dare to move his head, and sweat was pouring down his forehead.

Arai asked someone to take the thing off Yan Wu's mouth, and Yan Wu swallowed hard.

“Sir, I’m not being loud, please let me go, I can help you catch Yan Ming.”

Without waiting for Arai to ask, Yan Wu surrendered on his own. Even if such a person did not follow Yan Ming, he would become a traitor sooner or later.

"How can you help us catch people?"

Arai was not happy at all, instead he felt regretful. It would have been better to catch the man earlier. At least he could have used their emergency contact method to lure Yan Ming out.

Now that the Chinese know that Yan Wu has been exposed, how could he possibly show up again?

This meant that he lost the opportunity to catch Yan Ming.

His heart ached when he thought of this. What a good opportunity it was, yet he invested so much time and energy in it, but ended up failing.

He just wants to kill someone now, but unfortunately he doesn't know who to kill.

"I, I can send a signal to find him."

Yan Wu was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied, while Arai shook his head gently: "This method is no longer useful. If you have no other way, I will kill you now."

The method really didn't work. If he hadn't completely given up on Yan Wu, he would have really killed someone.

"I have, I must have."

After hearing what Arai said, Yan Wu was so scared that he almost peed his pants. Whether it happened or not, he would only say yes and would never dare to say no.

"What can you do?"

Just after he finished asking, a man came in. It was the man he had sent out to follow the mysterious man. The man whispered something in his ear, and Arai's expression became even more ferocious.
Sure enough, I lost the person.

Yan Wu didn't say anything at this time. He said yes, but he was afraid of death. In fact, he didn't know how to find Yan Ming.

After the last mission, he and Yan Ming had no contact again.

His role is to attract the Japanese. After the sanctions are successful, knowing that he is being targeted by the Japanese, how could Yan Ming possibly meet him again?

"Tell me, what do you have in mind?" Arai turned his head with a cold tone. Yan Wu was not from the Shanghai station. He had met the members of the Shanghai station, but this was not of enough value to him.

At this time, Yan Wu's greatest value has been lost, and Arai really wants to kill him.

At least Yan Wu was one of the murderers who killed Mr. Liu, and he could be used to give some explanation for the last case.

If he has no way to lure out Yan Ming, this will be his only value.

"me……"

Yan Wu was sweating profusely and his body was shaking constantly. After a while, he finally remembered and said hurriedly, "I know where his hometown is. Can I go there to arrest him and force him out?"

"Yanming's hometown?"

Arai was stunned for a moment, then glared at Yan Wu: "We already knew this, is there any other way?"

Tu Yuan had already conducted a thorough investigation of Xu Qingyun, including the people around Xu Qingyun.

Yan Ming's hometown is near Tianjin, but before the fall of Tianjin, his family was taken away and was not there at all.

Trying to threaten relatives back home simply won't work.

Not only Yan Ming, Fang Laibao, Fu Wenzhen, Zhao San and all the other senior executives of the Shanghai station, but also people from their hometowns have been evacuated.

Including ordinary team members, as long as they are in the Japanese-occupied area, they must be evacuated. As for those who are not in the Japanese-occupied area and are about to fall in the future, Xu Qingyun will also take them away so that they don't have any worries.

In any era, family can become a weak point.

Xu Qingyun had used this trick against the Japanese before, so how could he not be on guard?

"I, I, please spare me, I will definitely be able to help you."

Yan Wu was speechless and burst into tears in panic. He was afraid of death, especially afraid, and now he just wanted to survive.

"What did Yan Ming say to you when you were together?"

Yan Wu's words reminded Xin Jing that he still had some use, which was to see if he could find any clues from his contact with Yan Ming.

"What did you say?"

Yan Wu was stunned for a moment, and began to recall quickly, but because of fear, his mind was blank. The more he thought, the more confused he became, and he almost fainted.

"Give him some water."

Arai ordered his men that Yanwu couldn't say anything useful in his current state. He knew that Yanwu was frightened and now he needed to calm him down.

The men poured a bowl of cold water. This was a safe house and they didn't boil any water, so it was impossible to drink hot water.

Regardless of the coldness, Yan Wu drank from it in big gulps and finished the entire bowl of water in no time.

Arai took out a cigarette and handed it to Yanwu.

Smoke has a good effect of concentrating the mind.

After smoking, Yan Wu seemed to have recovered a little, and said slowly: "We talked a lot, he saved me back then..."

Yan Wu told Yan Ming everything about his acquaintance and the help he had given him.

Even Xin Jing had to admit that Yan Ming was really good to Yan Wu. Even though they had no blood relationship, just because they had the same surname and were not even from the same hometown, he took good care of Yan Wu.

However, Yan Wu secretly did so many things that were unfair to Yan Ming. Once these things were exposed, they would even have a great impact on Yan Ming.

Absolute scum.

"By the way, he was very happy the last time we drank together."

"Happy, why are you happy?"

When Arai heard Yanwu talking about recent events, he immediately became interested and interrupted him to ask.

"I don't know. He said that things will go smoothly in the future and that you won't pose any threat to them anymore."

Yan Wu shook his head. Yan Ming had indeed said that. He was ready to give up on Yan Wu at that time and was deliberately acting in front of him.

Just waiting for him to tell Arai about this.

"We will no longer pose any threat to them?"

Arai frowned. This was an important clue. Why did Yan Ming say that? What did he rely on?
Arai immediately thought of a possibility: there was a traitor in the Special High Police, and they could grasp the situation of the Special High Police at any time, so there was nothing to worry about.

But they are all new here, so they can't be traitors.

However, thinking of what happened to Ishida when he was the section chief, Arai overturned this idea. There was indeed a traitor in the Special High Police, and Ishida was killed by the traitor.

Afterwards, the chief section chief personally caught a traitor.

In particular, Muto, who killed Ishida, must have been bribed by the Chinese, who took advantage of the conflict between them and the navy and forced the noble Ishida to death.

Otherwise, given Ishida’s identity, it would be impossible for him to die if he was in the hands of the Army.

He had just suspected that there was a traitor. Was this incident another case of the traitor leaking information?
Who is this traitor?

"That's what he said." Yan Wu nodded quickly.

"What else did you say?" Arai looked at him.

"Let me think about it. By the way, he also said that the Special High Police are just fools, and they can even let the Special High Police help them do things."

Yan Ming did say a lot to Yan Wu, but they were all veiled words, and he definitely couldn't say them openly.

If he said that, Arai would immediately doubt Yanming's intentions.

The more obscure the statement was, like proud boasting during a chat, the more Arai believed it.

"Insanity."

Arai snorted coldly. The Chinese were too arrogant, especially this Yan Ming. Who did he think he was?
It is impossible to ask the Special Higher Police to do things for them.

unless……

Thinking of this, Arai's heart suddenly skipped a beat. What if there was a traitor among the top brass of the Special High Police?
If this is true, Yan Ming is not bragging. Being able to influence the top brass of the Special High Section means that the Special High Section is helping the Chinese, right?
But there are only a few senior executives.

He's definitely not, Kuroki?

Arai shook his head again. Kuroki was the head of the operations team and did know many secrets of the Special High Police, but when it came to asking the Special High Police to work for the Chinese, Kuroki could not do it.

He knew Kuroki. He was a straightforward person. He was good at fighting and killing, but he was not good at doing things that required his brain.

Telecommunications team, logistics team?
That is impossible. The most they can do is collect intelligence or indirectly influence the section chief. It is almost impossible for the Special High Section to help the Chinese.

Section chief?

Arai was shocked. If the section chief was turned, then what Yan Ming said was completely true, and the Chinese would know everything he did.

But is it possible?

The section chief had a better future, and he knew that the section chief now wanted to be promoted to general and leave Shanghai.

Although it is impossible, this suspicion has already appeared in Arai's mind.

As for this leak, he thought he was very strict. There were only ten people around him, and including him, there were only eleven in total.

He often disrupted the grouping of these ten people. No matter whether they were buying food or going to the toilet, they had to go together in pairs each time and no unusual movements were allowed.

His subordinates haven't left for a month.

He was the only one who occasionally returned to the Special High Section to report, and they even took showers together.

Arai originally suspected that the person who leaked the information was among them, and wanted to investigate them thoroughly after interrogating Yan Wu. But what if no one among them leaked the information, and it was someone above them?
The only person who knew about this was the section chief.

Even his most trusted subordinate, Takeda, didn't know what he was doing outside.

The section chief is a traitor?
