"It was my subordinate's negligence." Kikuchi Masataka bowed to Nishimura Ozo and apologized respectfully.
Last night, he personally interrogated the anti-Japanese element captured by the Nishimura Squad. This person was very stubborn. Kikuchi Masataka used various punishments, but he still did not make the other person speak.
Kikuchi Masataka was very tired after being tortured all night. In addition, the torture did not yield any results. Kikuchi Masataka felt depressed, so he went to an izakaya to have some drinks early in the morning, and then called the geisha Hu Tenkokuchi.
When he woke up again, it was already an hour ago. He was awakened by anxious men in the apartment and immediately reported to him the unexpected incident that occurred at Yu Guanming's home in Xingpingli.
Kikuchi Masataka quickly found Nishimura Ozo and reported the situation to him.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Nishimura Ozo snorted coldly and said, "How did the French Concession patrol room characterize this matter?"
"According to the feedback from our intelligence personnel in the French Concession Patrol Room." Kikuchi Masataka said, "Because the massacre occurred during the Chinese New Year, the French Concession Police Department took it very seriously. Cheng Qianfan of the Central Patrol Room personally supervised the case.
"
"What did they find?" Nishimura Ozo asked.
"The arrest room initially suspects that it was a home invasion and robbery." Kikuchi Masataka said, "Currently, there are preliminary suspects."
"Who did it?" Nishimura Ozo asked immediately.
"Some people in the central patrol room of the judicial arrest room believe that the murder was committed by the Jiang Mule gang." Kikuchi Masataka said.
"Ginger Mule?" Nishimura Ozo frowned, "Tell me what you think."
"The Jiang Mule gang has been harming Shanghai for many years. This gang is indeed cruel and has committed many major crimes." Kikuchi Masataka said, "However, according to the information the empire has, in fact, many of the cases that were captured by the law are difficult to solve.
All the unsolved cases were attributed to the Jiang Mule gang by the judicial department, in order to cover up their incompetence."
"What you mean is that Yu Guanming was killed at his home in Xingpingli. It was most likely not Jiang Mulezi who committed the crime, but the arrest team realized that this case was difficult to solve, so they had already spread the word in advance and were preparing to take action if the case could not be solved.
Put this hat on Jiang Mule's head?" Nishimura Ozo thought.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Kikuchi Masataka said, he frowned, "The Jiang Mule gang has committed countless crimes. However, according to the information the empire has learned, the targets of the Jiang Mule gang are all rich people. Yu Guanming obviously does not
It fits the target characteristics of Jiang Mulezi gang very well."
Nishimura Ozo nodded slightly, "Your analysis is correct."
…
The characteristics of the Xi Cun class and Yu Guanming's identity determined that Yu Guanming's family was exterminated. The first thing they had to wonder was whether Yu Guanming was exposed and silenced by the Chongqing authorities.
"Kikuchi." Nishimura Ozo said, "How likely is it that you think Yu Guanming's identity will be exposed?"
"Yu Guanming is a very cautious person, which is why a veteran agent like him from the Lixingshe Secret Service has been able to lurk in Shanghai for several years and is still active even under our noses." Kikuchi Masataka said, "Yu Guanming is very
Know clearly how Chongqing will treat him and his family once they find out that he has defected to the empire."
He thought thoughtfully and said, "From an objective perspective, for such an experienced veteran agent, unless something unexpected happens, the possibility of Yu Guanming being exposed is not high."
Nishimura Ozo fell into deep thought.
What Kikuchi Masataka said is reasonable, but if Yu Guanming was not exposed, then why was he killed and his family exterminated.
Nishimura Ozo did not support the possibility that Yu Guanming's family might be killed by gangsters and bandits.
Without him, it would be too much of a coincidence.
The Nishimura squad had just successfully captured this senior secret agent of the military, and something happened to Yu Guanming's family. How could such a coincidence happen?
Therefore, Nishimura Ozo's intuition told him that the murder of Yu Guanming's family must be related to Yu Guanming's defection to the empire.
But the problem now is to find evidence.
Nishimura Ozo looked at Kikuchi Masataka with a puzzled look on his face, "We assume that Yu Guanming was exposed, but why was he exposed?"
He frowned and said, "What exactly stimulated our opponent and made him suspicious?"
Suddenly, Nishimura Ozo looked at Kikuchi Masataka with a serious expression, "Has Yu Guanming done anything recently?"
"I mean, did you give him any orders?" Nishimura Ozo asked in a deep voice.
Then, he saw Kikuchi Masataka lost in thought, and then, Kikuchi Masataka's expression changed.
"Bag duck falls!" Nishimura Ozo said angrily, "Kikuchi, what did you do? Didn't I say that you should be extremely cautious when using Yu Guanming? This person is very important, very important?"
"Yu Guanming came to me and said that he didn't want to be so worried anymore." In the cold weather, fine beads of sweat began to appear on Kikuchi Masataka's forehead. He looked ugly and continued, "He said that his greatest value is his
is online."
Kikuchi Masataka said, "Yu Guanming said that he would find a way to get the top-secret information of his immediate superiors and hand it over to the empire. Then, he hoped that we would give him a sum of money and he would leave Shanghai with his wife and children. He was going
Take refuge in Nanyang.”
…
"Bag duck!" Nishimura Ozo was furious. He went up and slapped Kikuchi Mataka hard, "Why didn't you report such an important situation to me in advance?!"
"I did not promise Yu Guanming." Kikuchi Masataka quickly defended himself after being beaten, "My subordinates stopped Yu Guanming and ordered him not to act rashly."
He said to Nishimura Ozo, "According to what Yu Guanming has explained before, his direct commander is a very vigilant person. It is precisely because of this that we have not deployed control in Xingping. The subordinates are worried about Yu Guanming's
The action would have alarmed the person, so he did not agree."
When Nishimura Ozo heard this, his expression softened slightly and he nodded.
After learning and confirming that Yu Guanming was actually a member of the Shanghai Special Investigation Team, Nishimura Ozo and Kikuchi Masataka were both overjoyed.
Today, Xiao Mian's Shanghai Special Intelligence Group has surpassed the Shanghai District of the Military Command, the Red Party Underground Party and the Su-Shanghai District of the Central Command, and has become the number one enemy of the empire's spy work in Shanghai.
It's just that this Shanghai special situation team and their leader Xiao Mian are too mysterious. They include Nishimura Class, Shanghai Special High School, Inoue Mansion, Police Station and Military Police and many other units. After two years of searches and investigations,
Unexpectedly, they were not able to obtain any further information about the Shanghai special situation team.
In short, for the empire, Xiao Mian and the Shanghai Special Agents Group are still a big mystery to this day.
Under such circumstances, the arrest and surrender of Yu Guanming, an intelligence officer of the Shanghai Special Intelligence Group, immediately made Nishimura Ozo overjoyed. He saw an opportunity to follow Xiao Mian and the Shanghai Special Intelligence Group and catch them all.
Nishimura Ozo knew that this opportunity was hard to come by, so although he was anxious in his heart, he was not in a hurry in his actions. He was very patient:
Knowing that Yu Guanming's direct reports were very vigilant, Nishimura Ozo even directly ordered not to monitor Yu Guanming's residence, shop and living environment to avoid alerting the enemy.
??????????.??????
Nishimura Ozo directly gave up the option of arresting him through Yu Guanming.
Because according to Yu Guanming's explanation, his superiors should be extremely hostile to the empire. Even if such people are secretly arrested, if they are extremely stubborn people who cannot be conquered by torture instruments, then the clues and opportunities they finally obtained will be cut off.
.
His plan is to play the long game and catch the big fish.
Nishimura Ozo has even decided not to rule out sacrificing some of the empire's interests and provide some intelligence to further enhance Yu Guanming's status and importance in the Shanghai Special Intelligence Group.
Then it was logical to include Yu Guanming's online as a target of secret surveillance.
Then lock this person for a long time, and use this person to further understand the higher-level relationship between the Shanghai Special Situation Group, and target the mysterious Shanghai Special Situation Group leader Xiao Mian.
This plan is passive and predictable and is not a quick fix. It requires time and patience.
Kikuchi Masataka held different opinions on this. He believed that he should follow the clues and arrest him through Yu Guanming, then quickly interrogate him, pry open the person's mouth, and then continue to follow the clues until he mastered greater top-secret information, and brought Xiao Mian and Shanghai
The special situation team catches them all in one fell swoop!
Nishimura Ozo had previously severely criticized Kikuchi Masataka. He believed that Kikuchi Masataka's idea was eager for quick success and quick results. In fact, it was like playing chess. Maybe one of the chess pieces failed and the result would be lost.
In view of this, in Nishimura Ozo's mind, Kikuchi Masataka has a precedent for the possibility of eager for quick success.
Now, hearing Kikuchi Masataka say that he rejected Yu Kanming's suggestion made Nishimura Ozo a little relieved and satisfied. However, Nishimura Ozo's face soon became even more gloomy.
He realized something, or rather a very bad possibility.
And Kikuchi Masataka's expression also changed, he also thought of it.
…
"Sir, you also think that Yu Guanming may have made his own decisions?" Kikuchi Masataka said with a gloomy face.
"Bag duck falls!" Nishimura Ozo's face was as dark as water, and his eyes swept towards Kikuchi Mataka with a sinister look, "Tell me honestly, did you do anything to irritate Yu Guanming?"
Yu Guanming suddenly found Kikuchi Masataka and offered to provide information about his online presence in exchange for escaping from Shanghai. This in itself is very thought-provoking.
A veteran agent like Yu Guanming is a very smart and cunning guy. Doesn't he know that his greatest value is his online presence?
In addition, this online promotion is not only the capital for Yu Guanming to get promoted and make a fortune, but it may also be a talisman for his death.
For Yu Guanming, the careful, cautious and peaceful life now is the safest.
And you must know that according to Nishimura Ozo's plan, there is a chance to wipe out the Shanghai special situation team in one fell swoop.
Only by killing all the Shanghai special agents can Yu Guanming, his wife and children achieve maximum safety.
Therefore, in this case, Nishimura Ozo did not think that Yu Guanming, a seasoned and cunning veteran agent, would take such drastic and unsafe behavior for no reason.
This is an impulsive stress response.
"Absolutely not!" Kikuchi Masataka swore to Nishimura Ozo's curse. He strictly implemented Nishimura Ozo's solid plan and never made any changes.
Seeing Kikuchi Masataka's decisive attitude, Nishimura Ozo chose to believe that Kikuchi Masataka did not dare to lie to him.
"There are two possibilities now." Nishimura Ozo said in a deep voice.
"First, Yu Guanming did not obey your orders. He took it upon himself to collect and even trap his top line."
"It was this risky move that may have directly led to Yu Guanming's exposure, and then he suffered the so-called family law punishment from Chongqing."
"There is another possibility, that is, Yu Guanming obeyed your order, was very honest, and did not do anything strange." Nishimura Ozo glanced at Kikuchi Masataka, "Therefore, the murder of Yu Guanming's family was actually just an accident.
It is an ordinary criminal case and has nothing to do with the Shanghai Special Investigation Team or other departments in Chongqing."
"So, of these two possibilities, which one do you prefer?" Nishimura Ozo asked Kikuchi Masataka with a gloomy look.
…
"The second possibility is the most likely." Cao Yu said with a serious expression.
He handed a cigarette to Comrade "Red-crowned Crane".
Bao Rengui took the cigarette and did not light it. Instead, he held it in his hand and put it to the tip of his nose to smell it. He frowned and was thinking.
"Tell me the basis you support this judgment." Bao Rengui said.
The organization asked Comrade "Second Cousin" to help find the missing New Fourth Army purchasing group in Shanghai. After this period of secret investigation, the intelligence feedback given by "Second Cousin" was -
I have not heard that the enemy has captured any comrades of the New Fourth Army.
At least there was no relevant information leaked out within No. 76 or from Zhang Xiaolin's Xingya Peace Promotion Association, which was closely related to No. 76.
Then, regarding this matter, Comrade ‘Second Cousin’ gave his own analysis and judgment.
First, nothing happened to the comrades of the New Fourth Army who came to Shanghai to purchase supplies. Their disappearance may be just an accident or an emergency.
Maybe it was because of some delays, or because of being stuck, or because of unexpected circumstances.
However, these comrades did not fall into the enemy's hands.
The second is that something did happen to these comrades, and there was a high probability that they fell into the hands of the enemy. It was just that the information was blocked by the enemy, so there was no intelligence harvested.
"It is precisely because we did not find out any information about the relevant comrades, which shows that the problem is serious." Cao Yu scratched half of his ears and said.
The injured half of the ear is more likely to suffer from frostbite every winter, and then becomes unbearably itchy. When the weather gets warm, especially in the heat of the summer, that half of the ear will also feel very uncomfortable——
I don't know why, but mosquitoes seemed to particularly like that half of his ear.
"The enemy's intelligence capabilities are very powerful, especially No. 76. They have now become the biggest threat to our underground work and anti-Japanese work behind enemy lines." Cao Yu said, his expression serious, "Someone in our team wants to come to Shanghai to purchase.
Supplies, I don’t think the enemy would have gotten the slightest hint of that.”
Looking at Comrade 'Red Crowned Crane''s shocked expression, Cao Yu nodded and said lightly, "Yes, the enemy must have grasped some situations. This is my fundamental judgment on the capabilities of our enemy, or you can understand
Because that’s my gut feeling.”
"Under such circumstances, I did not find out any information about the team coming to Shanghai to purchase. This is extremely abnormal." Cao Yu said in a deep voice. He did not speak quickly or slowly, and snorted coldly, "
You want to hide it!"
