Chapter 26 Overly Vigilant
Chapter 26 Overly Vigilant
"Team leader, what's our next step?"
Endo did not object to Mizuno's words and took the initiative to ask.
"Go back first and continue to seal off the hospital. We absolutely cannot let the news that Hu Bang'an is in the hospital leak out. If Hu Bang'an wakes up, call me immediately."
Mizuno waved his hand, and Endo breathed a sigh of relief and immediately left the office.
As the team leader, he knows more than others.
The team leader was scolded by the section chief for investigating Su Yuncheng, while Kobayashi Fumihiko was hit and killed by a tram while tracking Su Yuncheng.
Su Yuncheng's identity is unusual, and we cannot act rashly without solid evidence.
It's best not to let him monitor us, otherwise if something goes wrong, he'll be in trouble too.
Endo left, and Mizuno paced back and forth in his office.
What happened last night prompted Su Yuncheng to come to their Japanese hospital early this morning to inquire about Hu Bang'an's condition.
Su Yuncheng definitely has a problem.
He had guessed wrong before. Su Yuncheng was not a member of the Communist Party; he was a member of the Kuomintang's secret service and a subordinate recruited by Hu Bang'an.
After Hu Bang'an's accident, Su Yuncheng panicked.
Of the three pieces of intelligence provided by Majin, the last one was very detailed, especially regarding the cause of Kobayashi Fumihiko's death.
The intelligence report did not mention Su Yuncheng in order to protect him and prevent the information from being leaked and people from suspecting Su Yuncheng.
This is a common situation; he had encountered similar cases in Northeast China.
Experience told him that this time he had really found a big fish.
In fact, this suspicion itself has many flaws. For example, if Su Yuncheng were really a member of the Kuomintang, he wouldn't have reminded Xie Hanzhang and the Red Party.
The conflict between the KMT and the KMT is more serious than the conflict between them.
Secondly, if it was indeed Su Yuncheng who alerted the Red Party, there is a prerequisite: that they discovered their surveillance.
Mizuno had considered these questions, but he was prejudiced and had always believed that Su Yuncheng was the problem.
Once this idea takes hold, it's very difficult to change it.
He is an intelligence agent. Regardless of whether there is evidence or not, as long as there is suspicion, he will investigate to the end and never let it go.
After a while, Mizuno got up and left, deciding to use Matsumoto Jun instead.
He can't use the intelligence team to keep an eye on Su Yuncheng now; if they're discovered, he won't be able to explain it to his section chief.
Matsumoto Jun, being a graduate of the Dobun Academy, had an easier time getting into the newspaper.
Mizuno arrived at a trading company in the International Settlement.
Matsumoto Jun is lurking here.
Mizuno finally met Matsumoto Jun. The two stood together, and Mizuno had to look up to see him, as Matsumoto Jun was indeed very tall.
"Who are you?"
Tang Hu looked at Mizuno with a puzzled expression. He was working when his colleague said that a short man was looking for him, but he didn't recognize him.
Tang Hu is an alias of Matsumoto Jun. In fact, he originally wanted to name himself Tang Bohu, because he knew that there was a famous and romantic scholar in Chinese history with that name.
Unfortunately, the teacher did not agree and scolded him, so he had to change his alias to Tang Hu.
Most of the students who went undercover after leaving Tongwen Academy worked in various places with high mobility, such as trading companies and freight companies.
These tasks facilitated their ability to travel and collect various types of terrain intelligence in China.
"This is not the place to talk. Come with me."
Mizuno shook his head; Matsumoto Jun was much taller than him, and standing and chatting made him very uncomfortable.
"Who are you? Why should I go with you? I'm not going."
After saying that, Matsumoto Jun turned and left. Mizuno was speechless for a moment, staring blankly at Matsumoto Jun's back.
This guy is quite vigilant.
"Matsumoto Jun".
Mizuno suddenly called out in a low voice, and Matsumoto Jun immediately turned around, looking at Mizuno in surprise.
How did this little dwarf know his real name?
Seeing Matsumoto Jun return, Mizuno smiled. Fujita had said he was a bit dull, but it seemed that wasn't the case; he was still very vigilant.
Being vigilant is a good thing.
"Who exactly are you?"
The next moment, Mizuno's smile froze on his face. He felt a sharp blade pressed against his waist. This kid was carrying a knife?
Matsumoto Jun was indeed carrying a dagger, which was extremely sharp. If he used his strength, he was confident he could make this short man disappear from the face of the earth.
"Don't move. I am Takuma Mizuno, the head of the Shanghai Special Higher Police's intelligence group."
Mizuno hurriedly explained that he had just praised Matsumoto Jun, but he didn't expect this sudden move.
If he were killed by Matsumoto Jun, at the hands of his own people, that would be truly unjust.
"People from the Special Higher Police?"
Matsumoto Jun seemed a little surprised, thinking that he had been exposed and that Chinese people were coming to arrest him.
He didn't think about how, if he were exposed, someone would come to arrest him, especially someone who was clearly inferior to him.
"Pack your things, let's find somewhere to talk."
Mizuno nodded, and as he felt the blade leave his body, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his head still throbbed a little. It was good that this kid was so vigilant, but wasn't it a little too much?
Upon arriving at the teahouse, Mizuno and Matsumoto Jun sat down facing each other.
Mizuno finally felt more comfortable, and after sitting down, the two seemed much more equal.
"I'm looking for you..."
Since she was already there, Mizuno decided to give it a try. If Matsumoto Jun proved unusable, she could always return him later.
"I do."
As soon as Mizuno finished speaking, Matsumoto Jun nodded repeatedly, leaving Mizuno speechless.
Mizuno simply told him that he was to carry out a covert mission, which was not very dangerous, but the Special Higher Police would not acknowledge their relationship, and if his identity was exposed, he would have to bear the consequences himself.
To my surprise, the kid agreed without asking any questions.
His identity wasn't even verified.
"Wait for my news."
Mizuno got up and left. He had already come all this way and told Matsumoto Jun the mission, so all he could do now was let him carry it out.
He would never admit to knowing Matsumoto Jun, nor would he admit that he was the one who gave him this task.
Without solid evidence, he cannot touch Su Yuncheng.
Similarly, without sufficient evidence, Su Yuncheng couldn't do anything to him.
"Editor-in-chief, the boss called back."
In the afternoon, Huang Chuanming brought the telegram he had just received to Su Yuncheng's office, and Su Yuncheng took the telegram.
Tomoo Muto praised him again.
He continued to investigate Hu Bang'an's case, mainly to find out whether Hu Bang'an was alive or dead, and whether he had any important information on him.
Also, try to find out if there are any Chinese people hiding in other places.
In particular, are there any Japanese spies among them?
If Su Yuncheng can find it, even just one, he will have made a great contribution this time.
Muto Tomoo desperately needed credit to get him back to his high position.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not responsible for catching traitors, but if they are found, it is still considered a merit.
If it's found within their ranks, that would be a tremendous achievement.
"Call the boss back."
Su Yuncheng quickly wrote the telegram. This telegram was simple, mainly expressing that they would continue to work hard and make persistent efforts. At the end, he mentioned that the newspaper's communication tools were too rudimentary.
Su Yuncheng would naturally not let such a good opportunity slip by.
If they could actually get a car, it would be very convenient for their entire newspaper in the future.
"Yes, editor-in-chief."
Huang Chuanming ran to send the telegram, while Su Yuncheng raised his hand to check his watch.
Starting today, he will lead the newspaper staff in training, especially Huang Chuanming.
After reading the complete book in his dream, he understood that special training for Huang Chuanming had to begin as soon as possible, and that his abilities needed to be improved rapidly.
The underground battlefields of the future will be even more brutal.
