Espionage: I Have Photo Editing Software

"What the Japanese can give me, the Secret Service will never give me! I'm moving to Hongkou in a few days. They want to kill me, don't they? Let them try!"

Wei Renming's sparse voice came through the crack in the door.

The Japanese bodyguards outside the door overheard the gist of it.

The two parted unhappily.

"You'd better watch yourself. Don't think that just because you hired a few bodyguards, they can't do anything to you." Fu Wu stormed off.

Wei Renming breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Fu Wu sends the message back, Wang Xinheng will know what to do.

Now, it remains to be seen whether the Japanese will arrest Fu Wu.

A small building in Yue Shao Fang.

Shimizu Taro watched Fu Wu's departing figure from the window, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Section Chief, this woman is from the Special Service. Should we arrest her?" the team member asked.

Shimizu Taro shook his head and said, "Capturing her is useless. Send someone to follow her closely; she might be able to find the location of the Special Service's new headquarters. Remember! It's better to lose her than to alert her."

"yes!"

Outside the neighborhood.

Fu Wu hailed a rickshaw, and after getting in, she placed her right hand under her bag and gripped the pistol.

"Let's go to the Bund."

"Alright! Please sit tight!" The driver pulled the rickshaw, and it slowly started moving.

The expected thing did not happen.

But Fu Wu dared not relax for a moment.

She has realized that someone is following her.

"Two people... should be able to shake them off."

Upon arriving at the Bund, she went into a clothing store.

She had been to this store a few times and knew there was a back door.

If the Japanese soldiers following us don't know, we can shake them off.

She entered the alley through the back door without stopping. Relying on her familiarity with the terrain, she made her way through the alley and successfully escaped.

Her visit to Wei Renming this time was not at Wang Xinheng's behest.

Today is August 1st. She went to the photo studio to collect money early in the morning, only to find that the shop had been burned down. She could only come to Yueshaofang to look for Wei Renming, but unexpectedly found herself in a dangerous situation. Fortunately, she escaped unharmed.

"Judging from today's situation, Wei Renming doesn't seem to be a genuine ally of the Japanese..."

Fu Wu returned to the camp and immediately found Wang Xinheng to report the situation.

"Could it be that the Japanese are screening him?" Wang Xinheng muttered to himself.

The fact that they were screening him indicates that the Japanese intended to give Wei Renming an important position...

"You and he were pretending to be lovers?"

"The situation is urgent. Only by doing this can we have a chance to be alone with Wei Renming."

"You did a great job! But this has dragged you into this mess," Wang Xinheng said worriedly.

"Cousin, is Wei Renming feigning allegiance to the Japanese?" Fu Wu asked.

Wang Xinheng nodded. "Now that things have come to this, there's no need to hide it from you anymore."

"So what should we do now?"

"The Japanese don't know that Wei Renming has joined the Special Service. Otherwise, they wouldn't have bothered to investigate him. If we truly treat Wei Renming as a traitor, we can dispel the Japanese's suspicions."

"Send someone to assassinate him?"

"Yes! The photo studio is the property of the Special Service Department. We entrusted it to him to manage, but he's ungrateful and even works for the Japanese, causing a huge scandal. For both official and personal reasons, we must punish him." Wang Xinheng's eyes were fierce. "It must be a real assassination, not a fake one! Otherwise, it will backfire!"

"What if he really did die from an assassination?"

"He can't blame anyone else; he's just unlucky!"

The room was completely silent.

Fu Wu lowered her eyes, lost in thought.

After a moment, she spoke:

"Since we're pretending to be a couple, the Japanese shouldn't suspect anything if I reveal the details of the assassination operation to them."

"This..." Wang Xinheng paced around the room for a long time before stopping. "It's worth a try. But I'm warning you, this kid could die any day now, so don't get any other ideas about him."

"Cousin, what are you thinking? I just think it's such a waste that he died like this," Fu Wu said speechlessly.

"That would be best!"

……

Hongkou, a courtyard.

Eisuke Morita sat in the pavilion, gazing at the sunset on the horizon.

"How's the situation at Yue Shao Fang?"

Shimizu Taro explained the situation.

"Make Yamagami Ryosuke shut his mouth," Morita Eisuke said.

"I've already reminded him."

"Hmm!" Morita Eisuke took a sip of tea. "Fu Wu? That accountant went too?"

"Yes. According to our intelligence, besides being an accountant, she is also Wang Xinheng's cousin! She and Wei Renming seem to be in a romantic relationship."

Eisuke Morita tapped his fingers on the stone table a few times and said, "Interesting."

"Section Chief Morita, I have an idea."

"explain!"

"Could we leverage Wei Renming's relationship with Fu Wu to send him infiltrate the Special Service Department as our mole?"

Eisuke Morita sneered, "Are you trying to steal the person I've set my sights on?"

"That's absolutely not what I meant!" Shimizu Taro bowed his head and apologized.

The Special Higher Police Section (TOTK) was originally established by the Japanese Ministry of Home Affairs.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Army Military Police system also successively established Special Higher Police.

The Special Higher Police (SPD) of the Ministry of Home Affairs is mainly concentrated in Japan.

The Special Higher Police (SPD) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is usually located under the police station of each consulate.

The Special Higher Police (TQP) of the Army Military Police was concentrated in the occupied areas. As Japan's invasion progressed, its power expanded rapidly. The "TQP" that is often referred to later refers to this branch.

Therefore, Shimizu Taro was just a little karaomi in front of Morita Eisuke, with no say whatsoever.

"Hmph." Morita Eisuke snorted coldly. "Keep a close eye on Wei Renming and the Special Service's actions."

"Hey!" Shimizu Taro said, still feeling resentful after leaving. "Wei Renming is clearly an excellent candidate for an undercover agent. Are we really going to just hand him over like that?"

He firmly believed that culture must be accompanied by force, otherwise it would be useless.

The situation in Dalian is the best proof of this.

Back at the police station, he found Chief Takagi Yuji and told him his thoughts.

After listening, Yuji Takagi laughed and said, "Just do whatever Section Chief Morita says."

"But..." Shimizu Taro was still unwilling to give up.

Takagi Yuji snapped, "What? You idiot! Does he think he can stay in Shanghai forever?"

Shimizu Taro's eyes lit up. "Understood!"

The next day, under the protection of Japanese bodyguards, Wei Renming left Yueshaofang and headed towards Hongkou.

"President Matsumoto, you have to help me!" Wei Renming cried with a mournful face.

"What's wrong?" Matsumoto Shigeharu asked, puzzled.

"The Secret Service has identified me as a traitor and is preparing to assassinate me!" Wei Renming almost burst into tears.

Seeing his expression, Matsumoto felt a strange sense of satisfaction. "Wei-san, how can I help you? I don't have any of those violent men under my command!"

"May I move in with you for a few days?"

Wei Renming guessed that Wang Xinheng would definitely send someone to assassinate him in order to make the charade last.

However, he was almost surrounded by the Japanese soldiers.

Sending anyone to assassinate you is tantamount to sending them to their death.

He didn't want to make any unnecessary sacrifices, and after thinking it over, he still felt that moving in with Matsumoto was the safest option.

I believe Wang Xinheng will understand his intentions after learning this news.

(PS: The Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai established the Central China Police Department in 1933. Its second section was the Special Higher Police, which had eight departments. For the sake of convenience, the book uses "police station" instead.)
