Chapter 66 Well done
Chapter 66 Well done
Regardless of whether Captain Liu, who was killed, was a Japanese spy, Su Yuncheng didn't need to worry. If his resume was similar to Xiao Wei's, then there was a very high possibility that he was Japanese.
The secret service is good; they get things done efficiently and effectively.
"Editor-in-chief, there have been assassinations in more than one place today, including three people who died in the International Settlement."
Not long after returning to the newspaper office, Huang Chuanming rushed into Su Yuncheng's office to report.
Police officers in the International Settlement and the French Concession are currently conducting large-scale searches, causing harm to many civilians.
"Send someone over there immediately."
Su Yuncheng immediately gave instructions. No wonder there weren't many people from the newspapers and radio stations at the scene today; it turned out that something had happened in more than one place.
"Yes, editor-in-chief."
This time, Su Yuncheng did not go out. Huang Chuanming led the team and drove to the International Settlement.
Their newspaper has a small staff, so they certainly don't get as much firsthand news. However, if they can find out more details, they can report more.
Su Yuncheng was deep in thought in his office.
Three people died in the International Settlement, one in the French Concession, and the other was a waiter named Xiao Wei.
There are only five in total, where is the last one?
Su Yuncheng was unaware that someone had remained in Nanjing. You Tiao only helped him find the clue of six people, but he didn't know their whereabouts.
Su Yuncheng did not participate in the interrogation and is unaware of Morita's testimony.
However, if he were in Shanghai, the Secret Service would definitely not let him go. Since they had taken action, they would have investigated everything.
Either something went wrong when they killed the Japanese spy, or he wasn't in Shanghai.
Even if the operation fails and the perpetrators escape, as long as the operation was carried out, Huang Chuanming and his team will still receive the news.
Su Yuncheng just needs to wait patiently.
Huang Chuanming and the others returned around noon.
"Editor-in-chief, three people died in total: a businessman and two people who worked for a foreign trading company..."
Huang Chuanming immediately came over to report that they arrived late and were unable to take photos of the body, but they had managed to extract a lot of information.
These people all have one thing in common: they came to Shanghai a year ago and are doing different jobs.
"I understand. Write the article right away. The key part is that police officer. Have you got the information on him?"
Su Yuncheng nodded, and Huang Chuanming immediately replied, "I got it. He only came to Shanghai a year ago, joined the police station, and relied on his money to curry favor with his superiors, plus some merit, and was promoted to squad leader two months ago."
Huang Chuanming also found it a bit strange. The four people who were killed had no connection with each other, but they had all come to Shanghai a year ago.
"Write more about his bad points, and increase the print run by a thousand copies tomorrow."
Su Yuncheng made arrangements so that tomorrow's newspapers would sell more, especially in the French Concession. Captain Liu was a bad person, and his death would make many people happy.
These people were happy to see reports about his death.
According to Huang Chuanming's report, assassinations occurred in only four locations, and there was no chaos elsewhere.
The most likely explanation is that the remaining person is not in Shanghai, or that something happened to them before and they were withdrawn by the Special Higher Police.
Regardless, the Secret Service's operation this time was brilliantly executed.
This saved him the trouble of investigating and killing these people.
"Okay, we'll go write it right away."
Huang Chuanming left the office and went to the Central Police Station in the French Concession. Sato was following behind a man to collect a body.
He was carrying Captain Liu's body. The person beside him was Captain Liu's nominal uncle, a Chinese businessman.
Even if it meant death, he couldn't reveal the Japanese identities of these people, but Sato's heart was bleeding.
Captain Liu is his cousin. For his cousin's safety, Sato specially arranged a position in the police station for him, which is relatively safer.
Unexpectedly, he was still killed by the Chinese.
He was just a step too late. If the section chief had been more decisive and evacuated them sooner, these people wouldn't have died.
In fact, he had previously taken a chance, since the agents who had been lying in wait for several days had not been caught, and it was very likely that the Chinese had not found them.
He only received a telegram from Mizuno in Nanjing this morning, informing him of the unusual activity at the Special Service.
They made arrangements quickly, but unfortunately it was too late.
The three bodies in the International Settlement were claimed by others, but Sato came personally to bring back his cousin's body.
"Thanks."
The Chinese businessman next to him completed the formalities and left with Captain Liu's body. Sato didn't say a word throughout the whole process.
However, he had already remembered this grudge, and no matter who did it, he was determined to avenge his cousin.
In Nanjing, Secretary Qi entered the office with a telegram.
"Chief, a call from Nanjing. They've identified four Japanese spies who were hiding in the area. They've all been dealt with this morning. One person was injured, but everyone has returned safely."
After Secretary Qi finished speaking, he handed over the telegram, knowing that this telegram would improve the director's mood.
As expected, the Chief was delighted upon hearing this and carefully read through the telegram.
"Wang Hengxin did a good job; let's commend them."
The magistrate was indeed in a good mood. He had captured one alive and killed four others. Once he found the Japanese spy who had been hiding in Nanjing, he would be able to achieve complete success this time.
He personally oversaw this case, so he can properly report his achievements to the old man later.
Especially since Su Yuncheng's fortune-telling was so accurate, the old man was definitely even more interested.
"Yes, Chief."
Secretary Qi accepted the order and left. The department head stood up, thought for a moment, and then sat down to calm himself down.
There's no rush to report. He hasn't achieved full credit yet. The most important thing is to find the Japanese spy who's been hiding in Nanjing. It's not too late to ask for credit later.
Now tell the old man that if he can't find the person, his good deed will turn into a bad one.
The man in a good mood picked up his teacup and hummed a little tune.
A man of extraordinary talent is a man of extraordinary talent. Even his descendants can make such accurate predictions. Finding the Japanese spy hiding in Nanjing was indeed a stroke of luck for him.
He might not get promoted, but his position in the old man's heart will be more secure.
Six Japanese spies infiltrated, six at once.
The entire Secret Service had never achieved such a result.
He handled the case himself, so the credit should go to him.
"Go and call Shen Mozhou over."
As soon as Secretary Qi returned, the director gave the order. Secretary Qi was slightly taken aback, then immediately withdrew.
Shen Mozhou was helping out in the intelligence department. The people in the intelligence department had been very busy these past few days, and he wondered how their investigation was going.
The Shanghai side did such a good job. If Qu Ning can't find someone, he'll be in big trouble this time.
"Chief, you wanted to see me?"
Shen Mozhou arrived quickly. Upon hearing that it was the Director summoning him, he jogged over and only caught his breath at the door.
"How's the search going?"
When asked directly by the section chief, Shen Mozhou lowered his head and replied softly, "Most of the people have been screened, and a few suspects are under investigation."
They will thoroughly investigate anyone who is a suspect and looks like a suspect.
They even had to let Morita go over and recognize people. Morita's injuries had recovered well, and he was already able to walk freely.
"We have three days left; we must find it as soon as possible."
The section chief glared at him, and Shen Mozhou felt bitter. It was clearly Qu Ning's responsibility, and he was just helping out, so why was he called over to be reprimanded?
