Chapter 298 First Move
Unless, of course, there is an internal problem, but that possibility is unlikely.

The ninjas of the Kyogoku family would never betray them, much less leak information in any form.

"Give me the bill that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is preparing to allocate to the Iwai residence."

Kyogoku nodded and immediately took out a bill from the bag beside him.

After reading it, Kyoko Watanabe's expression turned even more unpleasant:
"A tungsten ore processing machine? What does the Iwai Mansion use such a thing for? Are the people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs a bunch of pigs?"

This machine is useful to both the KMT and the DPP, but it is most useful to the DPP.

And these two machines were actually handed over to the Iwai Mansion? Does that mean the Iwai Mansion owns a mine?
"Those damned stable boys!"

After venting her anger, Kyoko Watanabe threw the bill on the ground.

It is now certain that You Shu has run away, this connection has been severed, and You Shu didn't even take what she had already obtained, choosing to run away directly.

It is easy to imagine how well the person who tipped off You Shu knew about the progress of their investigation; they were practically intimately familiar with it.

Now, all Watanabe Kyoko could think about was which underground party member had such great ability to foresee their plans in advance.

After much thought, a code name popped into Kyoko Watanabe's mind:
"Morning light!"

As she slowly uttered the code name, Kyoko Watanabe looked sharply at Kenji Kyogoku:
"I asked you to investigate Chenguang before, what's the progress so far?"

Kyogoku shook his head, looking ashamed.

“Madam, this Morning Light is even more elusive than the cub. So far, information about Morning Light remains only in the realm of rumors.”

Kyoko Watanabe's lips twitched. So that was just hearsay, rumors circulating in the intelligence community?

What a waste of money! They spent so much money, only to find nothing when they investigated Chenguang.

Kyoko Watanabe had a premonition that the person who knew their plan this time was likely to be Morning Light.

They knew even less about Chenguang than they did about the young tigers of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

As for the cubs, forget about it; thinking too much about them will only make you upset.

Even now, Kyoko Watanabe is still unsure whether Young Tiger is a single person or a team.
Swah——

The door was pulled open from the outside, and Kyogoku quickly stood up, his hand already reaching for his waist.

Upon seeing that the person who entered was Empress Kagura, Kyogoku Kenji nodded slightly and stepped aside.

Kagura Jinta nodded to him, quickly stepped forward, knelt down, and handed a piece of information to Watanabe Kyoko with both hands:
"Kyoko, here's the Special Higher Police's action plan for today. They've taken action against the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics."

Kyoko Watanabe nodded, and seeing her unfazed expression, Jinta Kagura asked in surprise:

"Kyoko, aren't you surprised at all?"

Kyoko Watanabe shook her head and smiled:
"The person who caused the explosion at the Hua Mao Hotel has not been found yet. Of course, Huizi can't just sit idly by. If she can't find that person, she'll cause trouble for others. That's her personality. I expected this."

Kagura Jinta said with a gloomy expression:
"Xingzi, you shouldn't spoil Xiaohui like this."

Kyoko Watanabe waved her hand:

"It's time to give those guys from the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics a warning. After cooperating for so long, they haven't sent us a single piece of useful intelligence."

"Once Huizi has gathered all the people, I'll go and have a talk with her."

"They want to take advantage of us, but they don't have enough leverage. I haven't dared to try anything with them, not even a free lunch. They're trying to pull this trick on me!"

Jinta Kagura's lips curled slightly:

"Then we really should put some pressure on them and let them know whose territory Shanghai is!"

At this point, Kagura Jinta paused for a moment:
"Oh, and one more thing. The Military Police Headquarters received an anonymous letter about an underground Communist Party member from Nanjing who was arrested before the 76th Division."

"However, the letter stated that the underground party member was a fake, and the list of eighteen people he confessed to was also fake."

The source of the letter could not be investigated, so Watanabe Kyoko did not ask. After listening to Kagura Jinta's words, Watanabe Kyoko already knew what 76, or rather, what Kagesa was up to.

"It seems that the fact that the expert was sent directly to Shanghai has spurred Yingzuo, making him realize that Shanghai is far more important than Nanjing."

"Have Saburo Karasawa and Hei Kasahara arrived at the original organization by now?"

Kagura Jinta turned his head to look at Kyogoku Mi, who was standing to the side, and Watanabe Kyoko also looked over after she finished speaking.

Kyogoku nodded indifferently.
“Not only Saburo Karasawa and Hei Kasahara, Masahiko Takahashi also came.”

Upon hearing these names, Kyoko Watanabe felt that the cabinet had lost its mind. What kind of place was Shanghai that it would bring these perverts here!
Kyoko Watanabe couldn't even imagine what would happen if they accidentally caused a leak during their research.

Seeing Kyoko Watanabe's worry, Kyogoku immediately said:

"Madam, rest assured, the Sheshan Research Institute is under reconstruction. Once the reconstruction is completed, the original organization will send these three people there, so it will not affect Shanghai."

Kyoko Watanabe nodded slightly.

"That's good. But if the same thing happens again this time, Koji Ida's term as commander will be over."

These people are really dangerous. Saburo Kazari's older brother is a colonel and military doctor in the Kazari squad, and Saburo Kazari is currently a lieutenant colonel.

The team led by Harasawa was responsible for researching bacterial weapons.

If it were just this one person, Kyoko Watanabe wouldn't have thought much of it.

But Kasahara Hei and Takahashi Masahiko are also here, which makes the problem much more serious. If a leak occurs, it's no joke.

The Kasahara team's main research focus was on viral weapons, and their final product, the various types of poison gas bombs, was their masterpiece.

Masahiko Takahashi was one of the guys that Kyoko Watanabe hated the most. His class, Takahashi, specialized in the plague.

However, Kyoko Watanabe was a little puzzled. Of the three of them, Kasahara Hei and Karasawa Saburo could work together, but what was Takahashi Masahiko doing here?
Should a plague war be launched against a specific city?

If this thing isn't controlled properly, it won't just be a city anymore. Besides, the coastal areas are basically under Japanese occupation. Even if Masahiko Takahashi is to be assigned to a different city, he shouldn't be in Shanghai!

After just a few seconds of thought, Kyoko Watanabe had her answer.

Masahiko Takahashi wasn't transferred to Shanghai; he was just transiting through the city. His destination is most likely a country in South Asia.

Thinking of this, Kyoko Watanabe breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Although she still felt that the cabinet bastards were playing with fire, the die was cast, and what she had to do now was to secretly protect Saburo Karasawa and Hei Kasahara.

"Kyoko, Yokono Uchiyama sent Megumi over this time, probably intending to join forces to stop Kagesa. Should we lend a hand?"

Kyoko Watanabe rejected it outright:

"No need. Keiko won't get involved. For the Special Higher Police, in Shanghai now, having one more or one less Mei Agency makes no difference. The Tojo family has already fully supported Keiko. Even if Kagesa comes, he won't be able to cause any trouble."

"Our most important task now is to obtain the deployment map of the Nationalist Army in the Central China Theater, in order to prepare for the subsequent gas bombing."

"Let them handle the rest themselves."

No. 15, Lane 3, Sixth Lane, South of Shanghai.

The Ghost Group, which had knocked down two walls and merged two small courtyards together, was currently watching Song Rong give Dao Ya special training while the four Liu sisters were eating sunflower seeds.

It has to be said that Song Rong's training methods are really a bit hard to get used to.

If Dao Ya hadn't been quick-witted and sharp-witted, she really wouldn't have been able to keep up with Song Rong's pace.

"I've taught you the basics of telegram decryption. Starting tomorrow, I'll teach you how to set traps. I hope you can do it just like today and not make me teach you a second time."

Dao Ya twisted her stiff neck and looked at Song Rong with a smile, saying:

"Teacher Song, don't worry, I will study hard. Now that today's class is over, let's talk about the things my brother-in-law needs you to do."

Song Rong smiled indifferently:
"Consider it as him saving my life, I won't ask him for any reward. So, what's the mission?"

Dao Ya straightened her expression and recounted what her brother-in-law had told her.

"And so, whether Station Master Chen of the Shanghai Station lives or dies depends on you, Teacher Song!"

Song Rong truly didn't expect that Zhao Xuan would actually ask her to rescue Chen Chuyin.

However, Song Rong laughed when she remembered that Dao Yan was Zhao Xuan's wife. It turned out that she was afraid that with Chen Chuyin dead, the new good-for-nothing wouldn't be able to provide Dao Yan with a safe environment to hide in!
After accepting the task assigned by Zhao Xuan, Song Rong left Shanghai.

This mission is extremely difficult. Song Rong has devised multiple plans to rescue Chen Chuyin in Shanghai, but all of them have failed.

Therefore, to complete this task, we must find Chen Chuyin in advance.

Song Rong had already analyzed Chen Chuyin.

A veteran agent who had been infiltrating the puppet Manchukuo government since the September 18 Incident and had even successfully assassinated a Japanese prince would never trust anyone.

Therefore, the previous intelligence mentioned that Chen Chuyin would leave the mountain city by boat. In Song Rong's view, this was just a smokescreen put out by Chen Chuyin.

Without trusting anyone, Director Chen wanted to return to Shanghai from Chongqing. After Song Rong's repeated deductions, she concluded that there was only one safe route.

Leaving the mountain city, Chen Chuyin could only choose the land route.

After leaving the mountain city, Chen Chuyin had more options, but there was one place that Song Rong was certain Chen Chuyin would go to!

That's Guangxi.

Chen Chuyin was originally from Guangxi. Last November, when the Japanese launched a large-scale invasion of Guangxi, Song Rong already knew that Chen Chuyin only had an elderly mother in his hometown.

In mid-January of this year, parts of Guangxi fell, marking the end of the Japanese army's first invasion of Guangxi.

From September 18th to this year, Chen Chuyin has not returned to his hometown for nearly ten years, nor has he visited his elderly mother. Knowing him as Song Rong does, Chen Chuyin will definitely take this opportunity to go.

After arriving in Guangxi, Chen Chuyin will most likely take the sea route back to Hong Kong, and then return to Shanghai from Hong Kong. This is the safest route.

Therefore, after leaving Shanghai, Song Rong decided to go directly to Hong Kong.

After all, if Song Rong goes to Guangxi, he won't be able to catch up with Chen Chuyin, and he might miss him because of it. But in Hong Kong, he can definitely catch up with Chen Chuyin.

If the Military Intelligence Bureau really wanted to kill Chen Chuyin, and they couldn't stop him by the waterway from the mountain city, they would definitely think of Guangxi and then contact Hong Kong.

Song Rong's trip was to clear the way for Chen Chuyin.

Chen Chuyin, who had already left the mountain city, lost contact with his subordinates who had impersonated him and left by waterway as soon as he arrived in Guizhou.

Chen Chuyin leaned against an oxcart, his eyes filled with disappointment, and gazed at the starry sky in silence for a long time.

Chen Chuyin had already sensed that returning to Chongqing wouldn't be easy if he wanted to go back to Shanghai. But he simply couldn't believe that the Party and the National Assembly would treat him this way.

Director Chen believed he was loyal to the Party and the country and had no regrets towards the people, but in the end, this performance review turned into a trap.

After losing contact with his trusted bodyguard, Chen Chuyin kept wondering, how did the party and the country come to this?

Originally, Director Chen devised the route plan to return to Shanghai simply to prevent his whereabouts from being discovered by the enemy.

But now, his whereabouts don't even need the enemy to find out; his own people are already getting restless.

Chen Chuyin could also guess that the reason why Shancheng treated him this way was because he had blocked the path to wealth for some corrupt officials in Shanghai.

Moreover, Chen Chuyin also figured out something.

Even if I manage to get back to Shanghai safely this time, so what?
The parasites in this mountain city will let him go.

Right now he's just one person, but if he goes back to Shanghai, he'll be part of the entire Shanghai metropolitan area.

Chen Chuyin had a profound understanding of the bottom line of these parasites; these bastards had absolutely no bottom line.

If he returned to Shanghai, Chen Chuyin had no doubt that these parasites would betray Shanghai Station in order to get rid of him.

And when that time comes, it won't just be Chen Chuyin who dies!
"Fellow villager, the Hongshui River is just ahead. If you want to go to Guangxi, you have to go that way to get there faster. But fellow villager, I heard there was fighting in Guangxi last month. What are you going back for now?"

Director Chen composed himself, smiled, and said:
"Fellow villager, thank you for giving me a ride all the way, but I'm not going to Guangxi. It's hard to go back to my homeland!"

After saying this, Chen Chuyin took out two silver dollars from his pocket and handed them to the villager. Under the villager's bewildered gaze, Chen Chuyin went back the way he came alone.

Chen Chuyin's original plan was to take this opportunity to first go back to Guangxi to visit his elderly mother. If his mother had already passed away, he would kowtow a few times at her grave, then travel by water to Hong Kong as soon as possible, and then return to Shanghai from Hong Kong.

This is the safest option.

But now, Director Chen has changed his mind.

Since those parasites in the mountain city don't want him to go back, he might as well not go back at all.

Upon returning, Director Chen was determined to persuade the Director that even if he didn't go back himself, he should still appoint Fu Zhengguo as the station chief of Shanghai Station.

Director Chen was not at ease with the others.

Most importantly, with other people serving as station chiefs in Shanghai, Director Chen feared that his only student, Dao Yan, would become a victim of some kind of exchange of interests.

For the sake of Shanghai Station and his students, Director Chen resolutely embarked on the journey back to Chongqing alone.

Alas, the revolution still failed, and yet another cup of wine was wasted!
A gunfight suddenly broke out in the western suburbs of Shanghai.

Miao Xue and Ma Shangcheng led the No. 76 Action Section to receive the eighteen "underground party members" escorted from Nanjing.

But before the people from Nanjing arrived, Miao Xue and Ma Shangcheng's team was attacked.

Miao Xue and Ma Shangcheng, who were hiding behind a truck, exchanged a glance, both of them looking extremely grim.

"They're all using Type 99 rifles now; the Japanese don't even bother pretending anymore!"

Ma Shangcheng angrily complained, and Miao Xue tugged at his arm:
"Retreat, or you'll die if you stay."

Ma Shangcheng immediately nodded. Miao Xue was right. He had already attacked them directly with Type 99 rifles. If they continued to hold out, there would be no way to survive.

Since the Japanese dared to kidnap people, they couldn't possibly leave any survivors to smuggle the message out.

However, at this moment, Ma Shangcheng looked at Miao Xue with some surprise, because Miao Xue had secretly planted explosives in the convoy before they set off.

Ma Shangcheng was initially puzzled, but now it seems that this batch of explosives is definitely a secret weapon that can cover their escape from this place!

A few minutes later, almost all of Ma Shangcheng's men were killed in the attack.

Seeing Miao Xue and Ma Shangcheng trying to drive away, the convoy behind them quickly gave chase.

Just as they passed the car parked at No. 76, the blast wave directly overturned the lead car in the chase.

Horii Kazuo, from the Military Police Headquarters Intelligence Department, crawled out of the car, looking disheveled and furious as he stared at the black sedan that had already driven away.

"Baka! How dare they?"

Horii Kazuo truly did not expect that the group from No. 76 would be so crazy as to fill their convoy with explosives.

If their firepower had just grazed or touched it, it would have exploded prematurely.

Seeing that he could not catch up, Horii Kazuo had no choice but to order that the batch of underground party members sent from Nanjing be received according to the original plan.

Two hours later, at No. 76 Jisifeier Road, Shanghai.

When Ding Moqun saw Ma Shangcheng and Miao Xue returning from their escape, he initially thought that the underground party had made a move.

"Miao Xue, were you attacked by the underground Communist Party? The group of people sent from Nanjing were abducted?"

Miao Xue shook her head coldly:

"The people who attacked us were all using Type 99 rifles."

Ding Moqun's pupils contracted slightly. The Type 99 rifle had only been issued to the Japanese army last year. So, it was the Japanese army that abducted those people? Or to put it more clearly, it was the Military Police Headquarters!

Damn it, these Japanese are so ruthless they even beat their own people!

At the same time, Ding Moqun also realized that the game he and Yingzuo had set up had been seen through and intercepted.

Originally, Kagesa was scheduled to arrive in Shanghai this month, but now... forget it, Kagesa's arrival will definitely be delayed.

"You two go and rest first. If you're injured, go and get your injuries treated."

After the two left, Ding Moqun grabbed the phone and dialed a long-distance call to tell Yingzuo what had happened.

After learning the news, Yingzu remained silent for a full five minutes before finally leaving Ding Moqun with a single sentence and hanging up the phone:

Waiting for Haruko Suzuki to be discharged from the hospital!
At the same time, the Special Higher Police's operation was also a complete success.

All the bases of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS) agents who were to be captured in the plan were destroyed one by one by the Special Higher Police (SHD).

At this moment, in the Special Higher Police interrogation room, Aizawa Keiko stared at Wei Ming on the torture chair without saying a word, only waving her hand to signal for continued torture.

Wei Ming was now both bewildered and speechless.

You fucking arrested me, so go ahead and ask me whatever you want. How do you know I won't tell you if you don't ask?
After being tortured for so long, Wei Ming could no longer endure it. However, despite his repeated cries for mercy, Lan Zehui remained unmoved.

Zhuang Hui received the same treatment in another interrogation room.

Both of them were key figures in the Shanghai branch of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS), and were in charge of several liaison points.

Today's operation was intended to capture these two key figures of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS), who had already been identified.

As for the other henchmen, Aizawa Keiko didn't take any of them. As soon as they were captured, she dragged them straight to the courtyard and shot them.

Aizawa Keiko knew she didn't have much time. If she kept these people after capturing them, Watanabe Kyoko would soon come knocking on her door, and those guys would have no choice but to release them.

But Aizawa Keiko wouldn't allow them to leave alive.

Although the person who killed Tojo Jun and injured Zhao Xuan was Young Tiger, he was a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

However, the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS) was also a member of the Kuomintang (KMT), and so was the Young Tiger.

If we can't catch the Military Intelligence Bureau, then we'll catch the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (Zhongtong). If we do catch them, we'll execute them all without wasting a minute.

Yamayu Kazuo was now feeling a chill run down his spine. He secretly glanced at Aizawa Keiko's sinister eyes, and could only suppress his urge to refrain from trying to dissuade her.

Half an hour later, Aizawa Keiko raised her hand to look at her watch, then waved her hand to signal the agents who were torturing her to stop.

Wei Ming's current state can be described as barely breathing:
"Injecting performance-enhancing drugs."

Upon hearing Lan Zehui's order, the military doctor who was waiting on the side immediately went up and injected Wei Ming with a stimulant.

After changing a few things, Wei Ming looked at Lan Ze Huizi pleadingly:

"I'll say whatever I want."

Aizawa Keiko smiled with satisfaction:

"Heh, do you know where the Military Intelligence Bureau is? Outside the French Concession!"

"I know."

Hearing this, Aizawa Keiko's eyes lit up, but at that moment, there was a knock on the door, and a middle-aged man dressed in black samurai attire walked in.

Interrupted from the interrogation, Aizawa Keiko turned around angrily:

See you in Kyogoku!

The visitor was none other than Kyogoku Ken.

After bowing slightly to Aizawa Keiko, Kyogoku Mi said in a cold tone:

"Young Madam, Madam requests your presence in your office."

Aizawa Keiko slowly exhaled, stood up, and turned her gaze to Yamayu Kazuo:
“Write down everything he tells you, and don’t forget the guy next to him named Zhuang Hui either.”

Yamayu Kazuo breathed a sigh of relief and immediately stood up to agree:

"Hi!"

Office of the Chief of the Special Higher Police Section.

After Aizawa Keiko entered, Kyogoku Mi, who was following behind, closed the office door.

She saw Kyoko Watanabe sitting in her seat, while a middle-aged man in a suit and tie with a traitorous hairstyle was sitting in front of her desk.

Aizawa Keiko didn't speak, silently walked to the sofa and sat down before looking at Watanabe Kyoko and asking:
"Mother, is there anything you wish to tell me that you've come here today?"

Kyoko Watanabe smiled slightly, raised her hand slightly, and pointed to the man with the traitorous haircut sitting opposite her at the desk. He had already stood up and looked somewhat anxious. She introduced him:

"Huizi, let me introduce you. This is Li Zhiguo, the station chief of the Shanghai branch of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics."

Li Zhiguo smiled obsequiously at Lan Zehuizi:
"My name is Li Zhiguo. I hope Section Chief Lan Ze will take good care of me."
