Chapter 163 The mysterious young man

Matsui Naoki put down the phone, the anger in his chest could no longer be concealed.

He was too embarrassed to get angry in front of Miura Kazuichi. After Miura Kazuichi left, the more he thought about it, the angrier and more aggrieved he became.

Over the years, he has devoted almost all his energy to the two big cities of Nanjing and Shanghai. One is the political and cultural center and the other is the economic center. Dozens of intelligence teams and hundreds of intelligence personnel provide him with information for the special higher education courses.

He has received a steady stream of intelligence, and he himself has been repeatedly praised by the Military Ministry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs for his outstanding work ability.

Although the promotion space of the Special High School is limited, as the role of this intelligence agency becomes more and more prominent, his own prestige has also increased, and some senior officials such as the Military Ministry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs have also deliberately made friends with him.

Just when Matsui Naoki thought his future career was booming, he was struck with a blow. Although the losses caused by the "Qingzhou" team were incomparable with the benefits he brought from arranging latent spies in Nanjing, Shanghai, and Lincheng, he still felt in his heart

It's uncomfortable.

This is like a student who has always been at the top, but he got one question wrong in a quiz, or even couldn't do it. This kind of blow was more psychological, and Matsui Naoki couldn't accept it at all.

This is simply a boat capsized in the gutter.

In anger, he pulled everything on the table to the ground and punched it hard on the executive desk.

The confidential secretary outside heard the commotion and thought something had happened. He quickly pushed the door open and asked nervously: "Your Excellency, Section Chief, are you...?"

Seeing the mess, the confidential secretary probably guessed that the section chief's anger was related to Team Leader Miura. When Team Leader Miura left the house just now, his expression was like that of his dead father, and he didn't even bother to say hello.

When he fights by himself, he is completely different from his usual calm demeanor.

Matsui Naoki's thin chest rose and fell rapidly, his face was ashen, his eyes were gloomy, and he was breathing heavily.

The confidential secretary didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he knelt down and silently packed up the things on the floor.

Before he could finish cleaning up, Matsui Naoki said: "I want to go out for a while, you don't have to follow me!"

The confidential secretary stood up quickly: "Then I will ask the driver to prepare the car and ask Akasaka-kun to bring a few more people to protect you!"

Matsui Naoki waved his hand: "No need, I can do it alone!"

The confidential secretary was immediately stunned. This is Shanghai, where various forces are mixed together. It is the focus of attention and competition in the Sino-Japanese intelligence war. On weekdays, Section Chief Matsui's travel security measures are very strict. He usually submits his travel plan one day in advance.

Give it to the security team leader Akasaka Kazuo, who will formulate a targeted security plan.

I remember that Section Chief Matsui only made sudden trips like this twice, and the last time was about a month ago.

Section Chief Matsui deliberately avoided the eyes and ears of everyone. He must go to see a very important person, and he wanted the secretary to know that he could not ask about this.

However, he still made a quick call to Akasaka after Naoki Matsui left the office.

There is a saying in the old city of Shanghai that "five out of ten temple gardens and teahouses in the city". Especially there are clusters of teahouses near the Chenghuang Temple, including more than ten teahouses such as Crane Pavilion, Boat Hall, Lepu Lang, and Qunyu Tower.

Half an hour later, Matsui Naohui, disguised as an old man, appeared at the Huxin Pavilion in Xiyuan near the Chenghuang Temple. This is the representative of Nanshi teahouse. It is said that the Huxin Pavilion was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty by a big cloth merchant at that time.

The building was built in the center of the lotus pond next to the Jiuqu Bridge in the old temple. It later gradually became a gathering place for blue cloth merchants.

There were not many people in the teahouse. Matsui Naoki ordered a pot of tea. While slowly sipping the tea, he looked at the surrounding environment without leaving a trace. He came to this place many times, but every time it still looked amazing.

Pleasing to the eyes.

In the building, there is a rosewood coffee table, an old mahogany round table with a marble top, an egg-shaped mahogany stool, and elegant decorations with famous calligraphy and paintings. When you sit and drink in the summer, the lotus breeze blows gently, and the fragrance blows on your face. The drinker's heart is filtered, and the wind blows in his arms.

However, Matsui Naoki did not have that leisurely and elegant mood today. He felt as if his internal organs were being soaked in hot water, which was indescribably uncomfortable.

Not long after, an old man in green clothes who was about the same age as him walked up from the stairs. He had an old face with many grooves and his eyes seemed a little cloudy. He looked around and no one was paying attention, and then he walked towards Matsui Naoki tremblingly.

"Teacher, are you looking for me for something urgent?" the old man in green asked cautiously, his voice was old and low.

"Sit down and talk while drinking tea."

The old man in green nodded slightly and sat opposite Matsui Naoki.

Matsui Naoki looked at the old man in front of him and finally showed a smile: "Your makeup skills have improved again."

The old man in green clothes said: "Teacher, you are so complimentary. Not to mention compared to you, even compared to Kusuke, I am far behind."

Matsui Naoki waved his hand: "You are all my best students, each with your own strengths. Seeing that you are all able to stand on your own now, I, as a teacher, am also very pleased. Last time I just heard you give a brief report on your trip to Lincheng.

The general situation, but I forgot to ask how Cao Gai is doing?"

"Teacher, he is so stupid..." The old man in green was about to speak, but Matsui Naoki changed the topic: "Forget it, there is another urgent matter that must be dealt with immediately. Just now, Miura Kazuichi brought me a bad news

information."

"What happened?" The old man in green clothes suddenly felt excited. It could be seen from the teacher's face that this was definitely not ordinary bad news.

Matsui Naoki showed a bitter look on his face and said word by word: "We have just received news that Akita Masahiro, the leader of the 'Qingzhou' team lurking in Lincheng, and others were arrested. The casualties and losses of the team are still unknown. In order to

To find out the truth, I have sent Miura-kun to lead people to investigate."

"What? How is this impossible?" When the old man in Qingyi heard the news, he couldn't believe his ears. He couldn't help but said, "The Chinese intelligence agency in Lincheng has always been at a disadvantage in its competition with us.

This point is proven by my operation last month. I have heard you mention the "Qingzhou" team. It is a transportation network that Miura-kun has run for many years. It is already on track and very mature. How could it be cracked?

?What the hell is going on?”

Because he was too excited, the old voice disappeared and was replaced by the voice of a young man.

"Teacher, is there something wrong within us?"

The corner of Matsui Naoki's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this. This sentence seemed to stab his heart. The last thing someone doing intelligence work wants to see is a spy inside. He sighed: "It's hard to say now.

, the agent who reported to us did not understand the specific situation, which is why I sent Miura-kun to investigate on the spot."

The old man in Tsing Yi, or more accurately a young man, said: "Teacher, don't worry too much, maybe it's just an accident. Miura-kun is most familiar with Lincheng's intelligence network, and he is indeed in charge of the investigation.

The best candidate, I believe everything will come to light soon."

Matsui Naoki shook his head slightly and said, "Have you heard of Hiroshi Ito?"

"I'm not very familiar with him, but I have dealt with him several times. He is very cautious in doing things, and he is considered a leader among the many agents of the Special High School." The young man answered truthfully.

"Just a few days ago, Hiroshi Ito went to Lincheng. His mission was to contact Akita Masahiro. However, according to his own account, he was followed by Chinese agents before the contact. Both contacts ended in failure.

, and Hiroshi Ito also spent a lot of effort to escape from Lincheng back to Shanghai."

"You mean you suspect something is wrong with Ito-kun?"

Matsui Naoki gritted his teeth and said: "This matter is too strange. Miura-kun thinks that Ito is suspicious, so he will take Ito to Lincheng this time. If Ito really betrays the empire, there will be clues. You

My mission is to go to Lincheng immediately, investigate secretly, find out the reason why Akita was exposed, and screen Ito."

The young man was startled: "Teacher, someone has already done this, so why let me go again?" However, after a moment of thought, he came up with the answer.

"Teacher, do you suspect that Miura-kun is acting unfairly in order to absolve himself of responsibility?"

Matsui Naoki said: "Yes, Miura's business ability cannot be said, but this person cherishes feathers too much and takes his career very seriously. There are indeed many doubts about Ito. I am really worried about Miura's investigation work."

Not objective enough, do you understand?"

"Students understand, but Miura is the intelligence team leader after all, and his position is higher than mine. If he insists on having his own way, how should students deal with it?"

"This is easy to handle. You bring a few capable people and keep an eye on Miura secretly. Don't alert him for the time being. Unless he wants Ito Hiroshi's life, you can dissuade him in time. If he disobeys, control him immediately!"

The young man accepted the order and said: "Yes!"

He naturally understood that Lincheng's secret transportation network had been cracked, and the serious consequences of the matter were difficult to estimate. As the direct person in charge of Lincheng's intelligence network, Miura Kazuichi must not be able to escape his involvement. Even his teacher Matsui Naoki would have to suffer a certain amount.

Influence.

Therefore, Miura Kazuichi urgently needs to find someone to top the tank, and Hiroshi Ito, who has serious suspicions about him, is indeed the best candidate.

Shirking responsibility is the reaction a normal person should have, but it is not a good thing to set the tone from the beginning. Whether Hiroshi Ito is a traitor or not requires further investigation and must not be preconceived.

"This time you rush to Lincheng again, you must be more careful." Matsui Naoki felt that the matter must be explained clearly, otherwise he will regret it for the rest of his life if there is any deviation. "No matter whether Akita Masahiro was betrayed by a traitor or exposed by accident.

, all show that China’s intelligence agencies are acting closely, so remember not to be careless!”

The young man nodded quickly and said: "Teacher, please rest assured that the students understand. Before setting off, the students have the courage to make a request to the teacher."

"Tell me, as long as I can do anything, I will give you my full support!"

"The last mission was successfully completed thanks to Cao Jie's help. Do you think this time..."

Matsui Naoki thought for a moment and said: "Okay, I can ask Cao Jie to cooperate with your actions when necessary. After being idle for such a long time, it's time to stretch your muscles. With the cooperation of you two senior brothers, I feel relieved.

Come on. Today I will have tea instead of wine to see you off and wish you immediate success!"

"Thank you teacher!"

The two small tea cups touched each other lightly, and they looked at each other, with a smile slowly appearing on the corners of their mouths...
