Genius Agent

Chapter 92 The Agent Was Killed

"Secretary Huang, they won't give interviews, what should we do?"

Xiao Wang was in charge of the interview, but the people who sealed off the scene were the Shanghai station action team, and no one paid any attention to him.

Even if you offer money, you can't get it to go.

Cao Lijun issued strict orders that the scene must be sealed off and no information should be leaked.

Ordinary people wouldn't dare to speak carelessly, let alone reporters.

If they were to make baseless accusations and publish them in the newspapers for a little money, they would be in deep trouble.

"First, interview eyewitnesses."

Huang Chuanming glanced at the people who had sealed off the scene. The people from the Special Service were not police officers, and they were not as easy to talk to as the police.

It's difficult to get anything out of them.

"it is good."

Xiao Wang and his group immediately dispersed to gather information from witnesses.

At Shanghai Railway Station, Cao Lijun was in the interrogation room, his face contorted in a grimace.

He discovered that six people were spying on him, including one surveillance point near his home.

Someone is investigating him. There's a high possibility that there are surveillance points near his home. If we're determined to investigate, it won't be difficult to find the Japanese spy.

Cao Lijun deduced that the surveillance point must be able to observe the situation in his home, so he found a suitable house nearby that had recently been rented out, and quickly located two Japanese spies.

Of the six Japanese spies, four were killed and two were captured alive.

Cao Lijun felt not only relieved but also excited.

This is a great achievement. The last time, the arrest of four Japanese spies was a significant accomplishment, but that was the director's case. This time, it belongs entirely to him.

"Torture him."

Cao Lijun didn't ask any questions; he immediately started by torturing them. These people wanted to kill him, so it was no wonder Cao Lijun was being lenient with them.

If they confess after questioning, Cao Lijun will find it difficult to torture them further.

Two Japanese spies were enough for him to vent his anger.

He would dump the remaining four corpses in a mass grave outside the city to feed the dogs, so that these Japanese spies would know the fate of those who tried to kill him.

Two Japanese spies screamed in agony, one of whom was Hideaki Hayakawa.

He was captured alive.

Cao Lijun spotted him and arranged for someone to wait in the shadows. He was pulling a cart when he was knocked to the ground and captured alive before he could even take out his gun.

His companion in the car was luckier; his hand was still on his gun, but he was riddled with bullets the moment he took it out.

At least death spares one from these physical pains.

"Editor-in-chief, you've arrived."

Su Yuncheng rushed to Nanshi, and Huang Chuanming and his men interviewed several eyewitnesses, whose accounts were consistent.

Several burly men in black suddenly rushed out and opened fire, killing people.

A rickshaw puller was arrested.

The gunfight didn't just happen in one place; another location was inside a house in a residential area. Huang Chuanming and his team found the landlord, who was crying. His house had only been rented out for a short time, and then this big thing happened.

According to neighbors, they heard an explosion.

Cao Lijun acted decisively this time, arresting those he could and killing those he couldn't, in order to deter the Japanese and prevent them from targeting him again.

The action team had no intention of capturing the two Japanese spies at the surveillance point alive.

They threw in grenades directly, and the explosion was caused by the grenades.

The house was a mess, it had been bombed by grenades, and people had died inside. Now it was sealed off by the secret service, and even he couldn't get in. No wonder he was crying.

It's a miracle we got this house back.

Even if we get it back, the house will depreciate significantly.

"Let's go back."

"Go back? But we don't know who was arrested and who was killed. How are we going to write the press release?"

Huang Chuanming was stunned. This was big news. If written well, it could make their newspaper a bestseller and even set a new record.

"We'll talk about it when we get back."

Su Yuncheng shook his head. The Shanghai station of the Special Service was so ruthless; the other party's identity wasn't that hard to guess.

The Special Service had just arrested several Japanese spies in Nanjing and assassinated four Japanese spies in Shanghai; the operation was carried out by the Shanghai station.

Most likely, the Special Higher Police wanted to retaliate, but the Shanghai station discovered it.

It seems there are some capable people at Shanghai Station who managed to turn the tables on their opponents.

The more Japanese people die, the better. Su Yuncheng felt no sympathy. As for how to write the press release, he already had an idea, but he needed to go back and make some preparations.

If this press release is published, their newspaper's sales will increase.

However, it's difficult to write it out completely. Su Yuncheng knows how to write it in the most appropriate way, which can still boost sales.

"Yes, editor-in-chief."

Su Yuncheng from the newspaper office made the decision, so Huang Chuanming and his team didn't stay any longer and hurriedly returned with their cameras and interview notes.

"Send this telegram to the boss."

Back at the newspaper office, Su Yuncheng wrote a telegram and asked Huang Chuanming to send it.

Upon seeing the content, Huang Chuanming was slightly taken aback.

The telegram was quite long. Su Yuncheng suspected that the Shanghai Special Higher Police were planning to retaliate against the Shanghai Station of the Special Service Department. After being discovered, he was beaten to death and arrested by the Shanghai Station.

The telegram specifically mentions that this is currently just speculation. Should we confirm this information and then publish it in the newspaper?

Tomoo Muto had already returned to Tokyo and quickly received the telegram.

He was equally astonished after reading it: the Special Higher Police had been killed by the Special Service?

When did they become so incompetent?

Among Japan's intelligence agencies, the Special Higher Police (Tokkō) has always claimed to be the most capable, and they have always prioritized selecting elites from military academies, which has caused some dissatisfaction among military generals.

Who wouldn't want these elites?

With proper training in the military, they will become excellent officers in the future. However, Japan places great importance on intelligence, and if these individuals can gather more useful information, their role will be no less significant than that of officers.

They had objections, but they tacitly approved of this practice.

Now that the Special Higher Police have suffered repeated setbacks, it's likely that some people in the military will raise objections.

After thinking for a while, Tomoo Muto had someone call back.

"Editor-in-chief, it's the boss's reply."

Huang Chuanming quickly returned with the reply. After reading it, Su Yuncheng's lips curled up slightly. Just as he had guessed, Muto Tomohiro hadn't asked anyone from the Special Higher Police to write it directly.

Firstly, they did not confirm it, and directly writing down the Special Higher Police would easily cause controversy.

Then we won't write the name directly; Su Yuncheng had already figured out how to write the press release.

"For the identities of those who were arrested and killed, just write 'suspected spy,' without specifying which type of spy they were. Write the rest as normal."

Su Yuncheng doesn't need to write it himself. There are so many people in the newspaper, why do they need to write news articles themselves?

"Yes, editor-in-chief."

After Huang Chuanming left, he understood Su Yuncheng's meaning. The identity of the Special Service Department had already been revealed, so it could be written that those who were killed or arrested by them should be written as suspected spies.

This led to a conflict between the spies.

The common people don't like spies. The spies did go too far in the past, killing too many people.

Moreover, they act indiscriminately, and since spies prefer assassinations that don't happen openly, nobody likes them.

However, the public would like to see a spy killed. Huang Chuanming had a premonition that tomorrow's newspaper would definitely sell out, depending on how many copies the editor-in-chief would print.

In the Shanghai Special Higher Police Section, Sato suddenly stood up.

My subordinates reported that gunfights have broken out in multiple locations in Tainan, and the cause is still unknown.

"Go check these places quickly, and remember, be very careful and don't go near them."

Sato quickly gave the order. They had deployed six people in Nanshi to investigate Cao Lijun's whereabouts. Nanshi was not as complicated as the foreign concessions. The sudden outbreak of such a fierce gunfight gave him a bad feeling.
