Genius Agent

Chapter 69 Asking Yuncheng

Huang Chuanming regretted it a little; he should have gone to report to Lao Meng today.

There was one thing he had to admit: Su Yuncheng was indeed much stronger than him.

The more he learned, the more unfathomable Su Yuncheng seemed.

Tomohiro Muto has already returned to Japan and is currently on a ship. It will take him a few more days to arrive in Tokyo. Akira Huang knew this and did not wait for a reply from Muto.

Tokyo will receive the telegram, but will not reply until Tomoo Muto arrives.

In the Special Higher Police Division, Sato sat in his office, while Endo stood in front of him.

He had to avenge his cousin.

After yesterday's investigation and verification, he has confirmed that the assassination operation was carried out by the Shanghai station action team.

The team leader was Cao Lijun.

Yesterday, none of the action team members were there, and so many skilled action personnel appeared; there could only be them.

However, killing Cao Lijun is not so easy.

"Team leader."

Seeing that Sato hadn't said anything, Endo felt a little uneasy.

He wasn't one of Sato's men, but Sato was the section chief's confidant, so targeting him would be very easy.

"I need someone to find out about the situation at the Shanghai station of the Secret Service."

Sato spoke slowly, and Endo's heart skipped a beat. The Shanghai Station of the Special Service was on their territory, and whoever went there would face great danger.

"I will obey the team leader's orders even at the cost of my life."

Endo gritted his teeth and replied. He wanted to refuse, but if he did, Sato didn't know how much trouble he would get from him.

If Mizuno Takuma were here, things would be better; he's the team leader, so at least he could keep Sato in check.

Now that Mizuno has made a mistake and has been transferred by the section chief to carry out a mission, Sato is in charge of the entire intelligence group.

"You don't need to go. Send a capable subordinate instead."

Sato shook his head. Although Endo was not his confidant, he was steady and reliable, which was why he sought out Endo.

He never intended to suppress his subordinates; he was purely seeking revenge.

Endo immediately relaxed and cautiously asked, "Team leader, what are we investigating this time?"

"Investigate Cao Lijun's travel history."

"Cao Lijun?"

Endo paused slightly. He had heard about what happened yesterday. It was said that Sato had hurriedly sent someone out to send a signal, and then hurriedly went out again, bringing back four corpses.

The four bodies were quickly transported away, and the process was kept secret; no one knows who died.

But it's obvious that it was one of their people. Plus, four people were assassinated in the International Settlement and the French Concession yesterday, and the news was in the papers. It's hard not to know about it.

"That's right, find out everything about him."

Sato nodded. If he wanted revenge, he would also need to assassinate someone. He didn't lack people, but he needed to ascertain Cao Lijun's situation.

"Hai, team leader, don't worry, I will definitely arrange for someone to investigate thoroughly."

Endo understood what was going on; those who died yesterday must have been their people, their undercover agents.

It's no secret within the Shanghai Special Higher Police (SPD) that they have undercover agents outside the city.

However, the identities of the undercover agents were top secret, and no one dared to inquire about them casually.

It appears that the Secret Service discovered them and killed them.

But how did the Secret Service know their identities?

Endo dared not ask any more questions. That's the downside of working in the intelligence department; the more you know, the more trouble you get.

After leaving Sato's office, Endo immediately went out to investigate Cao Lijun's whereabouts.

In Nanjing, the intelligence department staff have been working continuously for ten days.

They investigated a large number of people, causing considerable anxiety in many organizations, but they still failed to find the Japanese spy who had been hiding there.

The second seven-day deadline given by the Director has ended.

"What are you all good for? You can't even find one person?"

Inside the office, the department head was furious, and Qu Ning kept her head down, not daring to breathe.

He has been working very hard these days, and he has even grown a few more gray hairs. He has screened everyone in Nanjing who has entered the government or military in the past year, including some unimportant departments.

But every time Morita was asked to identify it, he said it wasn't.

He even suspected that Morita had recognized the person and was helping his companion to cover it up, so he tortured him once for this.

As a result, Morita confessed. They arrested him and tortured him severely, and he admitted to everything. However, when asked about intelligence, he gave nonsensical answers and didn't even know what the Special Higher Police did.

Qu Ning understood that they had been forced to confess under torture.

Fortunately, the person who was arrested didn't have any connections, and he didn't report the incident, otherwise he would have been criticized even more harshly.

"Chief, we've searched the entire city of Nanjing, but we can't find him anywhere. Could it be that he's not in Nanjing at all?"

Qu Ning said cautiously, "If the person is not in Nanjing, then everything makes sense. If the person is not here, how can he find them?"

"impossible."

The director immediately shouted, "If the person isn't in Nanjing, why is the Special Higher Police so concerned and why have other people been transferred away?"

It must be in Nanjing, but it's hidden deeper than anyone could imagine.

"Chief, we've even checked the garrison outside the city, and there really isn't any."

Qu Ning said helplessly, "We've really investigated everything we can, but we really can't figure out where this person is hiding."

They even screened a lot of people who came to Nanjing a year ago, checking anyone with a bit of influence, but still found nothing.

"You should go back now."

The section chief waved his hand, and Qu Ning breathed a sigh of relief and carefully withdrew. However, he knew that he had disappointed the section chief this time.

I just hope that person isn't actually in Nanjing. If he is, he'll be in big trouble later.

"Qi Wu, send a telegram to Shen Mozhou and tell him to ask where Su Yuncheng is hiding."

Secretary Qi was standing next to the director and was startled when he heard his words.

The intelligence department couldn't find anyone, so they asked Su Yuncheng?

This was to have Su Yuncheng help them figure out where the Japanese spies were hiding.

"Yes, Chief."

Secretary Qi nodded immediately. He wouldn't say a word he shouldn't have, and he would ask whatever he was told to ask.

As for whether Su Yuncheng could figure it out, he was somewhat looking forward to it.

Shanghai, Su Yuncheng had just hung up the phone.

The foreign trading company called him, saying that the two cameras he had ordered would not arrive on time because the cargo ship had encountered a storm, the ship was gone, and naturally the goods were gone too.

Including the camera that Su Yuncheng wanted.

Reshipping from Europe will take time.

The people from the foreign company introduced him to other cameras, but Su Yuncheng refused, as these two cameras had other uses besides taking photos for the newspaper.

He definitely wouldn't accept a cheaper alternative.

The foreign firm agreed to refund the deposit, but forget about compensation. These foreigners aren't that generous; their reputation depends on who they're dealing with. They won't do anything that doesn't benefit them.

Capitalists have the darkest hearts.

"Chuanming, go and find out where else besides Shanghai can we buy the camera we need."

Su Yuncheng called Huang Chuanming over and asked him to find the goods.

They definitely don't have the camera they want in Shanghai, so they'll have to ask somewhere else, like Suzhou, Hangzhou, or Nanjing.

It's too far, and cameras aren't cheap; two cameras would cost a thousand dollars. Any problems on the way would be a huge hassle.

It would be better to wait for the merchant to restock.

"Yes, editor-in-chief."

Huang Chuanming was slightly taken aback, but immediately realized that there was a problem with the camera they had ordered; otherwise, Su Yuncheng would not have asked him to inquire about it.
