You were allowed to marry into No. 76 family, and you were promoted to director?

Chapter 227 Intelligence
Chen Chuyin held Zhu Zhili in even higher regard:
"Don't worry, do you think Zhu Zhili, who managed to snatch these things from Mao Shu, is a simple person?"

"Besides, she and Xiaodao have been working together for so many years and they have a very good understanding of each other. I feel at ease letting them continue to work together."

The next morning, Zhao Xuan had just arrived at the Special Higher Police Department and was walking towards the door of Lan Zehui's office when he heard Lan Zehui's angry curses coming from inside.

Zhao Xuan pushed the door open and went in. Seeing this, Lan Zehui quickly shut up and smiled at Zhao Xuan.
"Ah Xuan, you're here."

Seeing that Yuichiro Miyama was being scolded with his head down like a child who had made a mistake, Zhao Xuan roughly knew what had happened.

"Keiko, what's going on? What did Yamano-kun do wrong?"

Yamayu Kazuo sighed, then looked at Zhao Xuan with an awkward smile.

Aizawa Keiko glared fiercely at Yama Yuichio:
"What did they do wrong? The two underground party members who were arrested yesterday died during interrogation due to excessive torture!"

Zhao Xuan looked at Yamayu Kazuo with "surprise":
"Yamao-kun, did you ask him?"

Yamayuu Kazuo, even more embarrassed, shook his head with a wry smile, while Aizawa Keiko gave a light snort, glanced at Yamayuu Kazuo, and said:
"If I had gotten the answer, would I have gotten so angry?"

"The leads here have run dry. To find out who the underground party is after, we can only start from within the original organization."

After speaking, Aizawa Keiko looked at Yamayukazu:
"Yamayu Kazuo, go and get on with your business. As soon as the technical department has any news, organize your team to take action immediately. I don't want any more problems with the Japanese currency templates."

"Hi!"

After Yamayuka left, Aizawa Keiko looked at Zhao Xuan and smiled:

"Ah Xuan, come with me to Nanjing Road."

At 76 Jessfield Road, in the office of the head of the intelligence department.

Miao Xue and Zhao Xuan had already agreed on the time for each phone call.

Of course, Miao Xue also asked whether she should answer the phone if someone was in the office and called.

Zhao Xuan's reply made Miao Xue very curious: how did the section chief know when someone was in the office and when no one was there?

Miao Xue came in with a basin of water, intending to wipe down Zhao Xuan's desk and chair, and tidy up the filing cabinet and bookshelves.

Although Zhao Xuan is no longer here, Miao Xue still does her work every day without fail.

After finishing all that, Miao Xue walked towards her desk, and the phone rang.

Miao Xue glanced at the time, quickly turned around, and returned to her section chief's desk to answer the phone:
"I am Miao Xue."

"Section Chief! Eh? Edith, hello!"

"Safety."

Miao Xue, whose face had been cold, broke into a smile and gave a report on the events of the past few days, then lowered her voice and said:

"Edith, the underground party has asked me to investigate the location of the original prison cells. Also, the organization is preparing to rescue the two underground party members who were arrested by the Special Higher Police yesterday."

Upon hearing Edith's reply, Miao Xue's mouth dropped open in surprise:

"The section chief is also investigating. Okay, I understand. Those two underground party members... the mass grave in the southern suburbs of the city, good!"

After hanging up the phone, Miao Xue grinned.

She now realizes that when she works with the section chief, she doesn't seem to have to use her brain at all.

I originally thought that investigating the original organization's prison and rescuing the underground party member who was ordered to do so would be too complicated and the chances of success were slim.

Unexpectedly, the section chief had already made arrangements.

Miao Xue could already foresee the situation where she would be fed credit by the section chief and rise through the ranks within the Red Party.

After sitting in the office for a while and assigning tasks for the day, Miao Xue went to the infirmary.

Yang Huamei, who had just ridden her bicycle to work, was truly surprised to find Miao Xue arriving so early in the morning.

It was early in the morning, and there was no one else in the infirmary except Yang Huamei.

After bringing Miao Xue into her office, Yang Huamei asked in confusion:

"Miaomiao, are you sick?"

To be honest, Miao Xue really didn't want to see Yang Huamei, because this woman gave Miao Xue the feeling that she had no sense of boundaries at all.

"There's some progress on what we discussed yesterday. I'll continue investigating. Also, the two comrades who were arrested yesterday have died in the mass grave in the south of the city. I just found out. Perhaps we can go and collect their remains and erect a monument for them."

She died in just one day; Yang Huamei could hardly believe what she was hearing.

"How could that be? Miao Miao, you're joking, right? Even if they don't say anything after being arrested, the Japanese couldn't possibly kill them all in a day, could they?"

Seeing Yang Huamei almost in tears, Miao Xue was extremely flustered and simply said:

"Try to notify Secretary Sun. If we don't go now, he might really die if we delay any longer. I have to go now."

Watching Miao Xue hurriedly leave, Yang Huamei, regaining her senses, covered her mouth, afraid that she would cry out.

Miao Xue meant that the two people were not dead, but were sent to a mass grave.

Although she found it even more unbelievable, Yang Huamei still quickly called Sun Jianzhong to tell him the news.

Miao Xue drove to the telephone exchange immediately after leaving the clinic.

Looking at the receptionist, Miao Xue took out her work ID and showed it to him:
"If No. 76 is handling a case, immediately investigate where the phone call made from No. 76 around 8 o'clock went."

The employee dared not provoke anyone from Number 76, and besides, this woman gave him a terrifying feeling.

The employees quickly found out the details of that early morning phone call:
"We've found it, sir. Only three calls were made from your location this morning."

Miao Xue snatched the registration form and her gaze fell directly on the Guanghua Bookstore on Hankou Road.

Miao Xue felt a surge of joy upon seeing Guanghua Bookstore. She had found it so easily; it seemed she would have to be even more careful in the future.

Thinking of this, Miao Xue looked at the remaining two phone calls. After reading them, she looked at the employee with a puzzled expression:
"Not a single call to Number 76?"

The employee immediately shook his head:

"It's so early, I can't be wrong, there really isn't."

Miao Xue nodded, put down the registration form, and left the telephone exchange.

On the way back, Miao Xue was very puzzled. How did the section chief manage to do that? He clearly made a phone call to the office, but there was no trace of it. It was unbelievable!

On the other side, in the office of Yamao Yuki, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Nanjing Road.

After Zhao Xuan and Lan Zehui arrived, Shan Xiongxun withdrew.

Soon, Heiji Ito arrived here.

After disguising himself, Heiji Ito entered the office and his pupils dilated when he saw Zhao Xuan sitting with Keiko Aizawa.

"Ito-kun, I believe you know Ah-xuan. Don't worry, we're all on the same side."

Heiji Ito knew that Keiko Aizawa valued Zhao Xuan, but he didn't expect her to value him this much, as she actually brought Zhao Xuan to see him.

"Young Madam, Zhao Sang."

Young Madam!
This Heiji Ito is also a member of the Watanabe family.

"Sit down. I called you here today to ask if you know where the old prison cells are."

Heiji Ito looked at Keiko Aizawa, puzzled.

"Young Madam, the original structure didn't have any prison cells!"

Zhao Xuan and Huizi exchanged a glance, both finding it hard to believe Ito Heiji's words.

How could a secret service agency not have prisons?

Seeing that the two clearly didn't believe him, Ito Heiji said again:

“Young Madam, Zhao Sang, I can confirm that the original agency really did not have prison cells.”

Under dialysis, Zhao Xuan confirmed that Heiji Ito was not lying.

Seeing Zhao Xuan nod at her, Lan Zehuizi understood what Zhao Xuan meant and then asked:
"Since there are no prison cells, where are you keeping the batch of criminals sent from Nanjing last time? Weren't you the one who took over their cases?"

Heiji Ito nodded and then shook his head:

“Young Madam, the one who escorted the criminals back that night was Michiko Sakai. She has already returned.”

Aizawa Keiko's expression changed:
"Why didn't you report such an important matter to me?"

Heiji Ito's face fell, and he said in a low voice:
"Because I have no idea where she went after she came back. I searched all day yesterday but still couldn't find her."

"As for that group of criminals, Sakai Michiko only gave me a brief encounter and didn't let me handle them at all. She just took the convoy and left. At the time, I had to rush back to report to Doi-man, so I couldn't track them down."

"By the time I wanted to investigate, there was no trace of it left."

After meeting with Heiji Ito, they did not find the information they wanted.

After leaving the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Zhao Xuan drove and glanced at Aizawa Keiko in the passenger seat:
"What are you thinking about?"

Huizi frowned, and said with a puzzled look:

"How could there possibly be a place in Shanghai where those criminals were being held? It couldn't be the dungeon of No. 76 either."

"And the original organization didn't even have prison cells. I really don't know what Doi-Yuan was thinking."

"But now, it seems we've reached a dead end."

Zhao Xuan was also speechless, as the original organization didn't even have a prison.

Moreover, the fact that Doi-Gyū could hide so many criminals without a prison cell is quite impressive.

Aizawa Keiko is right; those criminals couldn't possibly be hiding in No. 76.

Otherwise, Miao Xue wouldn't have been completely clueless.

Furthermore, Michiko Sakai returned under the pretext of escorting prisoners to Shanghai, which indicates that the negotiations are nearing their end, and soon Kagesa, Ding Moqun, and others will return to Shanghai.

The day Kagesa came to Shanghai was the day the Mei Agency was established.

and many more!

Mei Agency!
Yes, just because the original agency didn't have prisons doesn't mean the Mei agency didn't either.

Although Kagesa hasn't arrived yet and the Mei Agency hasn't been officially established, the preliminary preparations must have already been made. Otherwise, how could they start working once Kagesa arrived?
Heiji Ito said that Michiko Sakai had returned, and then Michiko left with the convoy. Heiji Ito only saw Michiko Sakai.

But that doesn't mean the team was led by Michiko Sakai.

Haruko Suzuki, under Kagesa's command!

Almost instantly, Zhao Xuan thought of this woman, a woman with a contrasting personality who was vengeful and vindictive.

The reason she's called a "contrast woman" is because this woman looks harmless and demure, but once she gets going, she's just as capable as Miao Xue.

At this moment, Miao Xue, who was heading back to No. 76, was stopped halfway.

Seeing that the other person was Japanese, Miao Xue stopped the car. The Japanese man walked to the car window, bowed, and said:

"Miss Miao?"

"It's me, any advice?"

"Ms. Miao, our section chief would like to see you."

Miao Xue stared blankly at the Japanese man. From Miao Xue's eyes, the Japanese man sensed the same madness as his section chief and quickly said:

“Ms. Miao, please don’t misunderstand. You know our section chief, and you worked together to take down Shen Fei in Nanjing.”

Haruko Suzuki!

Miao Xue was startled. When did this woman come to Shanghai?
“Ms. Miao, ever since we parted ways in Nanjing, our section chief has been thinking about you constantly. He keeps telling us that you and she are the same kind of people.”

"So after the section chief settled down in Shanghai, he wanted to meet with you. I wonder if Miss Miao has time now?"

Miao Xue thought for a few seconds and then replied:
"Get in the car, I'll give you directions!"

As the vehicle entered Baoshan Street and continued towards the end of the street, Miao Xue smiled and asked:
"After arriving in Shanghai, did Suzuki Haruko go to the police station?"

"By the way, what's your name?"

There's only the police station ahead, which is why Miao Xue asked that question.

The short, stocky Japanese man with a small mustache immediately replied:

"Hi! This is the police station."

"Miss Miao, my name is Sasaki. Nice to meet you."

Miao Xue was puzzled. After parking her car in front of the police station, she followed Sasaki into the station.

Following Sasaki, Miao Xue discovered that the police station's work was not affected by Suzuki Haruko's arrival.

It wasn't until she passed through the main hall of the police station and reached the backyard that Miao Xue saw a large open space in front of her. This should be the training ground and shooting range used by the police station. Miao Xue didn't expect that there would be such a large open space, and that it would be hidden at the end of such a prosperous street as Baoshan Street.

However, because it's located at the end of the street, it's not very noticeable.

After all, many people come to Po Shan Street for places like the Paramount Ballroom and the cinema, and very few people will walk to the end of the street to take a look.

It holds a secret within!
Miao Xue sighed inwardly, and soon, led by Sasaki, she arrived at the area of ​​bungalows at the end of the playground.

Sasaki led Naeyuki into Suzuki Haruko's office.

Upon entering, looking at the layout and the covers of some documents, Miao Xue's first thought was that this place was not much different from the office of the head of the intelligence section of No. 76.

So, Suzuki Haruko is the head of the intelligence section?

Mei Agency!
In an instant, Miao Xue understood the key.

Miao Xue never expected that the Mei Agency was actually hidden inside the police station.

"Ms. Miao, please wait here for a moment. The section chief has gone to handle some work and should be back soon."

Sasaki poured Naeyuki a glass of water and then left.

Sitting alone on the sofa in Haruko Suzuki's office, looking at the steaming water glass on the coffee table, Miao Xue fell into deep thought.

Miao Xue now roughly understands that the underground party's investigation into the location of the original organization's prison was fundamentally wrong.

They should be investigating the prison cells of the Mei Agency.

Where else could the Mei Agency, hidden within the police station, be located?

Miao Xue let out a slight breath and smiled helplessly.

I never imagined that I would leave such a deep impression on Haruko Suzuki during that trip to Nanjing.

Shortly after, Haruko Suzuki, dressed in a black police uniform, arrived at the office.

The moment she saw Miao Xue, the petite and charming Suzuki Haruko stepped forward with a radiant smile:
"Secretary Miao, no, now I'm Section Chief Miao, Section Chief Miao, do you still recognize me?"

Miao Xue stood up, looked directly at Suzuki Haruko, and replied coldly:

"I had forgotten about it, but now it's hard not to recognize it."

"Haha, Section Chief Miao is just as funny as he was back in Nanjing."

Miao Xue only wanted to report this information to Zhao Xuan, so she didn't want to get entangled with Suzuki Haruko any further.

"Section Chief Suzuki, what brings you here today?"

Haruko Suzuki, still smiling, walked up to Miyuki and said leisurely:
"I haven't been able to forget Section Chief Miao since we parted ways in Nanjing. Would you be interested in coming here to help me?"

Seeing Miao Xue shake her head directly, Suzuki Haruko had already expected this:
"Okay, I knew this would be the result."

"But now that Section Chief Zhao is no longer at No. 76, what's the point of you staying at No. 76? This is the place where you can truly showcase your talents."

Miao Xue looked calmly at Suzuki Haruko, and replied in a still icy voice:

"Although the section chief has left, I will still help him hold his position, because who knows, he might come back someday."

"Section Chief Suzuki, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Haruko Suzuki stopped Miao Xue and said with a smile:

"Section Chief Miao, besides this matter, I have a personal matter to discuss with you today. I would like to invite you to dinner, since I didn't have a chance to thank you back in Nanjing before you left."

"I'm just making preparations in Shanghai this time. My teacher will be here soon, and I don't think I'll have much time then. So, I was wondering if Section Chief Miao has time tonight?" "Sorry, no!"

After saying that, Miao Xue turned and walked out. Suzuki Haruko clenched her fist, turned around and looked at Miao Xue, who had already reached the door:
"It's alright, Section Chief Miao. We'll meet again next time. However, only Section Chief Miao knows that I'm here. If others find out about this place after you leave, we won't meet here next time."

Miao Xue paused for a second before leaving without a word. Suzuki Haruko's face darkened, and only after Miao Xue disappeared from sight did she give a nonchalant smile.

"Miao Xue. Interesting."

Three minutes after Miao Xue left, Suzuki Haruko, who was still standing there thinking about something, was quite surprised when the office phone rang. She quickly went over and answered the phone.

"Mosimoxi?"

"What?! Special Higher Police, how do you know about Miao Xue?!"

Haruko Suzuki felt like she was going crazy; her warning to Miyuki had had absolutely no effect.

After leaving the police station, Miao Xue immediately told the Special Higher Police about the situation from a public phone booth outside the station.

Haruko Suzuki couldn't quite understand whether Miao Xue was really that loyal to Zhao Xuan.
From now on, No. 76 will be a subordinate unit of Mei's agency. Does Miao Xue's behavior mean she doesn't want to continue working at No. 76?
With a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth, Haruko Suzuki said with a cold smile:

"Impossible! How could prisoners from the police station be transferred to Tilanqiao Prison? Don't even think about it!"

"What? They've already notified the Military Police Headquarters to come and pick him up?"

pat!

Haruko Suzuki angrily hung up the phone, but after hanging up, a meaningful smile appeared on her lips.

Among the prisoners she brought from Nanjing, there was indeed an important figure in the underground party, but Suzuki Haruko couldn't find that person even after two days of interrogation.

After hearing about the Special Higher Police's arrest of two underground party members, Haruko Suzuki came up with this plan.

If you can't find out the answer yourself, then let someone else do it.

However, Suzuki Haruko did not expect that Miao Xue would not have any concerns at all. She had just received the news and immediately reported it to the Special Higher Police.

The Special Higher Police went even further, directly notifying the Military Police Headquarters to send military police to pick up the person.

Does the Special Higher Police not want any credit at all?

But it doesn't matter, the goal has been achieved. The most important thing is that Suzuki Haruko has a next plan, a series of schemes, and we'll see if anyone falls into the trap.

Soon, Sato He, the military police commander, arrived at the police station with his men. Suzuki Haruko cooperated fully in handing the people over, but she detained one person.

Suzuki Haruko doesn't know if this person is the underground party member, but anyway, just detain him.

Hongkou, Military Police Headquarters.

Aizawa Keiko, along with Zhao Xuan and Kishimoto Osamu, were already waiting there.

After Satoga returned, Aizawa Keiko told Ida Koji about the interrogation of the two underground party members last night.

Sitting at his desk, Koji Ida listened to Keiko Aizawa's explanation and felt that he had been incredibly lucky lately. Originally, Koji Ida had wanted to give the credit for the underground party's affairs to the Special Higher Police.

Unexpectedly, after all the twists and turns, the credit fell on him again.

"Huizi, as you said, among the prisoners that Suzuki Haruko brought back, there is the important figure that both the underground party members from Nanjing and the underground party members in Shanghai are looking for."

"Then, this person must have very important intelligence. That's right, your Special Higher Police did a good job. Once I find that person and get the information, I will report your achievements."

Aizawa Keiko shook her head:

"Commander Ida, the cabinet's previous orders have already determined that our Special Higher Police can only obtain credit from the Military Intelligence Bureau. Therefore, no matter how important the intelligence is in the hands of the underground party, the credit will belong to the Military Police Headquarters."

"We came here mainly because of Miao Xue, number 76."

Koji Ida also knew that the reason he was able to find out about Haruko Suzuki this time was because of Mie Yuki.

"Don't worry, although Miao Xue is at No. 76, she has made contributions to my Military Police Headquarters and is very close to your Special Higher Police Section. Even if she continues to stay at No. 76, no one will touch her. I'm telling you!"

Aizawa Keiko smiled and nodded:
"That puts my mind at ease. Besides, with Miao Xue at No. 76, we'll know as soon as they make any moves."

Koji Ida also held this idea.

Even Koji Ida was envious of the benefits that Kagesa had gained in Nanjing, and was very wary of him.

Kagesa's arrival in Shanghai is not good news for Koji Ida.

After all, the original organization had been destroyed because of its own stupidity, and now another Kagesa had appeared, which really made Koji Ida furious.

If Kagesa hadn't interfered, Koji Ida was confident that after the original organization was dismantled, he could have brought the Special Higher Police and 76 under his control again.

Now that No. 76 is gone, he can no longer bring the Special Higher Police under his command. After all, if the Special Higher Police were to come over, the Cabinet might have to change the scope of authority again.

With the Special Higher Police (TPC) remaining outside, the Military Police Headquarters can simultaneously take action against both the Military Intelligence Bureau (MIB) and the underground Communist Party. Once the TPC is brought back, it's likely that it will only be able to keep an eye on the MIB, and the underground Communist Party's affairs will most likely be assigned to Kagesa's side.

Now, the Shanghai station has been decimated, and only the underground party is still strong and well-equipped. If the task of hunting down the underground party is assigned to Yingzuo, it will be much more difficult for him to gain credit.

"By the way, Huizi, the information you obtained this time was supposedly obtained through Zhao Sang's interrogation?"

As soon as Koji Ida asked the question, Keiko Aizawa and Zhao Xuan were secretly delighted.

The situation in the interrogation room last night was deliberately leaked by Aizawa Keiko.

Today, when I came to the Military Police Headquarters, Miao Xue's matter was just a side issue. Lan Zehui's real purpose was to get Zhao Xuan involved in the subsequent interrogation.

If Zhao Xuan achieves further merits, his position in both the Special Higher Police and the Military Police Headquarters will be secure once again.

“That’s right, Zhao Sang’s interrogation skills are really hard for most people to figure out.”

Ida Koji laughed loudly:

"Alright, since that's the case, why not let Zhao Sang participate in the interrogation of those prisoners? Huizi, what do you think?"

Aizawa Keiko looked conflicted, and after hesitating for a while, she said:

"Everything is for the Empire, but Zhao Sang is only an intelligence advisor for the Special Higher Police. He has no military rank or specific position. It is probably inappropriate for him to participate in the work of the Military Police Command."

Koji Ida waved his hand:

"It's alright. Since Zhao Sang can serve as an intelligence advisor for the Special Higher Police, he can naturally serve as an intelligence advisor for the Military Police Headquarters as well."

“I have met Zhao Sang many times. He is fully capable. If it weren’t for Tu Feiyuan’s incompetence, Zhao Sang would not have been implicated.”

At this point, Koji Ida looked at Zhao Xuan, who was standing next to Keiko Aizawa:

"Mr. Zhao, I am now formally inviting you to serve as the intelligence advisor for the Intelligence Department of the Military Police Headquarters. What do you say?"

Zhao Xuan bowed slightly to Koji Ida with a solemn expression:

"Thank you for your high regard, Commander Jingda. I, Zhao, will not refuse!"

Kishimoto Osamu stood aside, stunned. Wasn't he supposed to be here to report to the Military Police Headquarters? How did Zhao Xuan end up becoming the Military Police Headquarters' intelligence advisor?

After securing the position for Zhao Xuan, Aizawa Keiko left with a bewildered Kishimoto Osamu.

In the commander's office, Koji Ida looked at Zhao Xuan and smiled:

"Zhao Sang, I'd like to introduce you to a partner. Next, you and Sato He will go to Tilanqiao Prison to begin the interrogation. I hope I can see your results tomorrow."

After saying that, Koji Ida made a phone call, and soon, Junko Aoki, the head of the intelligence department, who was dressed in a gray-green military uniform and looked very smart, walked in.

Upon seeing Junko Aoki (Song Rong), Zhao Xuan inexplicably became somewhat nervous.

Since Song Rong arrived at the Military Police Headquarters, there had been no news of her. To be honest, Zhao Xuan didn't believe that Song Rong would obediently lie low here without doing anything else.

"Reporting, Junko Aoki is here to report for duty!"

After entering, Song Rong saluted Koji Ida, then stood straight beside Zhao Xuan, though a faint smile appeared on her lips as she glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.

"Junko, Zhao-san is now our military police headquarters' intelligence advisor. From now on, you will be working together."

"Just now, Sato He brought a group of prisoners from the police station. Junko, you take the lead, and Zhao-san assists. Go to Tilanqiao Prison and interrogate them thoroughly. I hope you won't disappoint me."

After receiving the order, Zhao Xuan and Song Rong left the commander's office one after the other.

Upon reaching the parade ground in front of the headquarters, Song Rong stopped and turned to look at Zhao Xuan beside her:
"Advisor Zhao, we meet again."

Zhao Xuan looked at Song Rong with an indifferent expression:

Actually, I didn't really want to meet you.

Song Rong covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons as she looked at Zhao Xuan:

"Then I'm sorry, after all, as an advisor and the head of the intelligence department, we'll probably have many opportunities to meet and cooperate in the future."

"But Zhao Sang, why do I always feel like you're avoiding me? Do I look like an unreliable person? I believe that if we cooperate, we can definitely create something special."

Zhao Xuan glanced at Song Rong. He kept his distance from this woman from the bottom of his heart, not knowing when she might betray him.

Most importantly, dialysis is rarely effective when dealing with Song Rong.

Despite Song Rong's smiling demeanor as she speaks to me, in dialysis mode, it's difficult to discern Song Rong's inner thoughts.

For Zhao Xuan, this kind of person who never thinks things through in front of others, but only ponders things thoroughly in private and then acts completely according to the plan is extremely dangerous.

"Don't waste time, let's go to Tilanqiao Prison first, Sato He is already waiting."

In a thatched hut on the southern outskirts of Shanghai, He Daping, enraged by the fight between Lu Jin and Sun Ying, who had just woken up, drew his gun.
"Enough! Sun Ying, what are you doing?"

Sun Ying shoved aside the bewildered Lu Jin, snorted coldly, and said with utter disdain:

"He is a traitor, Comrade Chitu, he betrayed the organization."

Lu Jin looked at Sun Ying with a gloomy expression. This time, after coming to Shanghai, he contacted the underground party here and reported his mission.

As a result, the organization directly assigned him a task.

When Lu Jin received the mission, he was dumbfounded. Who could have come up with such an idiotic plan?

However, the situation was urgent, and without the cooperation of the underground party comrades here, Lu Jin would not be able to complete the mission, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and cooperate with them.

结果
Now, this brute actually calls himself a traitor. After narrowly escaping death, Lu Jin's pent-up anger finally explodes:
"Comrade Sentry, what do you mean by this? When did I become a traitor? How come I didn't know?"

Sun Ying chuckled and looked at Lu Jin with a sarcastic expression, saying:

"Didn't you already tell that traitor Zhao Xuan about the mission when you were in the Special Higher Police? And now you're pretending to be innocent with me! Shameless, I really want to shoot you right now."

He Daping's lips twitched, and he slammed his hand heavily on the table:
"Enough! I went through all the trouble of pulling you two back from the mass grave just to watch you argue?"

"Whether Lu Jin is a traitor or not, the organization will naturally make its own judgment. If it weren't for Comrade Li Dong, would you two still be alive here?"

"You two better shut up. Until the organization issues further orders, you two stay here and behave yourselves."

After saying this, He Daping snorted coldly and was about to turn and leave when Lu Jin hurriedly said:

"Comrade Lidong saved me?"

"Comrade Chitu, I'd like to ask, how did Comrade Lidong manage to do that? After all, how could Comrade Lidong possibly have rescued us from such a dangerous place as the Special Higher Police?"

He Daping shook his head:
"You don't need to worry about this. The information I received is that Comrade Lidong saved you. I have something to report to, so you can all calm down."

On his way to Tilanqiao Prison, Zhao Xuan, sitting in his car, watched the whole farce through the eyes of the nano-flying insects.

Zhao Xuan was speechless.

How did Sun Ying even join the underground party? He not only lacked any experience in struggle, but he also seemed to have no brains.

This time, nanoparticles were used to help them fake their death and escape disaster, but someone like Sun Ying, who can be saved once, probably can't be saved a second time.

Moreover, Zhao Xuan is now somewhat regretting saving Sun Ying. Although he is a man of unwavering integrity, sometimes, having a bad teammate is the most fatal mistake.

Now that these two people are practically dead, Lu Jin isn't worried.

But Zhao Xuan was really afraid that Sun Ying would run back to Shanghai. If he were caught again, the Special Higher Police would definitely know that there was a mole inside.

Therefore, everyone who had contact with Sun Ying and Lu Jin is a suspect, and Zhao Xuan will inevitably be included in the suspect list as well.

While driving, Song Rong glanced at Zhao Xuan, who was resting with his eyes closed in the passenger seat, smiled slightly, and asked:
"Zhao Sang, you seem quite confident. Have you already figured out how to interrogate him?"

"Commander Jingda told me that your interrogation skills are excellent. It's a pity that I wasn't assigned to a group with you back in the Central China Theater. Otherwise, I would have been able to witness Zhao Sang's interrogation skills much earlier."

"However, it will be soon."

Seeing that Zhao Xuan wasn't responding, Song Rong wasn't angry and continued talking to herself.

Finally arriving at Tilanqiao Prison, Zhao Xuan got out of the car immediately. This woman was just like Dao Ya; not only did she jump between topics too much, but she also kept babbling on and on, without stopping the whole way.

Dao Ya's inner thoughts were complex, while Song Rong was chattering away.

Zhao Xuan shuddered at the thought of putting Song Rong and Dao Ya together; it was too terrifying to even think about.

At least when facing Dao Ya, just don't use the dialysis mode on her; it's essentially like blocking or silencing her.

But when facing Song Rong, even in dialysis mode, nothing can be detected. And that girl's mouth is like a machine gun; it's really unbearable.

Seeing Zhao Xuan's actions, Song Rong's eyebrows curved into a smile, and she was secretly delighted, so she got out of the car as well.

"You've finally arrived, Junko, Zhao-san, over here!"

Sato He saw the two get out of the car and quickly beckoned them over.

"Let's go. I've gathered all the prisoners together. You can decide who to interrogate first. The interrogation room is ready."

Song Rong and Zhao Xuan nodded, and followed Sato He to the outside of a caged playground. Standing on the second floor, Zhao Xuan directly used the scanning mode to cover the area.

Song Rong, meanwhile, squinted as she scrutinized the prisoners huddled together on the playground, their faces filled with terror.

(Sir, the scan is complete. Everyone's identity is fine. Most are small-time vendors and thugs who run liaison offices in Nanjing, and a few are murderers. We did not find any members of the underground Communist Party.)
Zhao Xuan was startled, but he remained calm and observed the group of people, pondering their actions.

The intelligence brought by Lu Jin must be correct; otherwise, he wouldn't have cooperated with Sun Ying to carry out such an outrageous plan.

Therefore, that comrade must be among the prisoners that Suzuki Haruko brought from Nanjing.

Now, no one has been found among these prisoners, which means that Suzuki Haruko has detained the person, and the comrade's identity has been exposed.
It seems that this is the only explanation.

However, Zhao Xuan did not dare to draw conclusions so quickly before he had investigated the matter thoroughly.

(Edith, send the nanobugs to the police station to find Haruko Suzuki and see what tricks that Japanese woman is up to.)

(Mr. Mingjie!)

Just after giving Edith the order, Song Rong's voice rang out beside Zhao Xuan:

"Zhao Sang, who should we ask first?"

Zhao Xuan frowned as he pondered. Before figuring things out, he needed to stall for time.

"Ms. Aoki can make the decision; it doesn't matter who you ask."

Song Rong gave an "oh," glanced meaningfully at Zhao Xuan, then gestured to Sato He, pointing to the prisoner squatting in the center:
"Sato-kun, let's start by asking that bearded guy."

Inside the interrogation room of Tilanqiao Prison, as prisoners were brought in and out one by one, Zhao Xuan and Song Rong took turns taking statements.

Only after the last prisoner was led out did Song Rong rub her slightly sore wrists and look at Zhao Xuan:
“Zhao Sang, to be honest, I don’t believe there are any members of the underground Communist Party among these prisoners.”

Song Rong didn't have Edith's help to cheat, but from these records, Song Rong also discovered that there were no members of the underground party among these prisoners.

After all, Song Rong had studied psychology abroad. During the interrogation, she used many psychological techniques. After comparing all the statements, Song Rong was certain that none of these people were members of the underground party.

"Ms. Aoki, are you implying that the intelligence obtained by the Special Higher Police during interrogations is problematic?"

Song Rong shook his head directly at this:
"That's not what I meant."

“Zhao, these people were ultimately brought over from the police station. Who knows if Suzuki Haruko actually sent all the prisoners?”

"As for switching them, that's impossible. After all, judging from the records, these prisoners have lived in Nanjing for quite some time. If they were switched, they wouldn't have been able to give such a flawless account during the interrogation just now."

The conductor is indeed brilliant!
Zhao Xuan has now confirmed that Suzuki Haruko did not send all the prisoners over, but left one behind.

What left Zhao Xuan speechless was that Suzuki Haruko didn't even know the identity of the prisoner she had detained.

Zhao Xuan was wondering, if Suzuki Haruko didn't know, then why detain someone?

Halfway through the interrogation, the nanobugs went to the police station and found Suzuki Haruko. Zhao Xuan learned about this situation from Suzuki Haruko's conversation with her subordinate Sasaki.

Two hours later, Zhao Xuan still couldn't figure out what the point of Suzuki Haruko's stunt was.

Therefore, Zhao Xuan left the nanobugs with Suzuki Haruko.
