Traveling through the Republic of China to become a special agent, the system is very easy for me

After some inspection, they entered the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai.

Iwai Mansion is a three-story Japanese-style building located in the courtyard of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai. It is surrounded by green trees and appears particularly quiet. From the outside, it is hard to imagine that this is a famous Japanese spy agency.

Only the sign hanging in front of the gate indicated that this was an unusual place. On the vertical sign was written a line of large characters:

"Ministry of Foreign Affairs, China Special Affairs Research Office."

In fact, many people don’t know this name. Only its other name, “Iwai Mansion”, is known.

People who don't know the details may think that the name Iwai Mansion is the private residence of a person named Iwai, not knowing that it is a secret agency, which is not as famous as the Special High Technology Bureau next to the Consulate General.

It was Yuan Ye's first time here, but Su Xiwu was familiar with the place. They arrived at the gate of Iwai Mansion, where there were several plainclothes guards. The person in charge of the shift saw Su Xiwu and immediately walked up to him. He obviously knew Su Xiwu.

He bowed and said in fluent Chinese:

"Secretary Su, Mr. Iwai is waiting for you inside."

He glanced at Yuan Ye beside Su Xiwu and asked in a businesslike tone:

"I have never seen this follower of yours before. Who is he?"

"His name is Yuan Shikai. He is my student and also the secretary of the municipal government. I brought him here to meet Iwai-kun today."

Su Xiwu smiled.

Yuan Ye also smiled at him, but was a little surprised. This man spoke Chinese so well, just like a native Chinese. He thought, could this man be Chinese?

"Okay, please follow me."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Ikeda-kun."

Su Xiwu said.

Only then did Yuan Ye realize that this man was called Ikeda and was a Japanese.

Ikeda led the way. Su Xiwu obviously noticed the surprise on Yuan Ye's face and whispered:

"Do you find it strange that he speaks Chinese so well?

Let me tell you, he's not the only one who speaks so well, most people here speak so well.

Because they came to China when they were very young and studied at the East Asia School. Many people here graduated from this school.

Do you think they can speak Chinese poorly?"

"Oh, no wonder."

Yuan Ye finally understood. It seemed that the Japanese had been well prepared before invading China and had systematically trained many spies who were familiar with China. To be honest, these people grew up in China and integrated into the Chinese people. It was impossible to tell them apart. Their language and living habits were exactly the same as those of the Chinese.

When they arrived at a large office on the second floor, there was a sign hanging on the door that read, "Office of the Deputy Consul General." Yuan Ye thought, this must be Iwai Yuichi's office.

Ikeda stopped and turned around and said:

"Secretary General Su, please wait a moment. I will go and make a report."

After that, he knocked on the office door, and a middle-aged male voice came from the door:

"Please come in!"

Ikeda pushed the door open, bowed and said:

"Sir, your guest has arrived."

"Okay, please let him in."

After Ikeda came out, he said to Su Xiwu:

"Secretary Su, Mr. Iwai invites you in."

Su Xiwu nodded, turned around and said to Yuan Ye:

"Wait for me in the waiting room outside. I have something to say to Mr. Iwai. I'll call you in later."

Yuan Ye knew that the two of them had something to talk about and it was inconvenient for him to be inside, but it didn’t matter, he could hear them outside.

"Okay, I'll be waiting in the waiting room."

Yuan Ye said.

Then Ikeda took Yuan Ye to the waiting room next door and said:

"Mr. Yuan, please wait here and do not move around casually."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

As soon as Ikeda left, Yuan Ye immediately began to listen attentively. The sounds of the entire Iwai Mansion immediately flooded into Yuan Ye's ears, including voices, the ticking of radio transmissions, and other sounds, but he did not find anything valuable.

Yuan Ye knew that the key sounds of sending a message actually represented a series of numbers, which he could memorize. These numbers were valuable, of course, provided he had a password. Without the password, all the numbers were in vain. With the password, the value was immeasurable.

But the code is not so easy to get, and I don’t know much about this area. After all, I have not received professional training. However, Gu Yan graduated from the Qingpu class. He knows how to send messages and has received professional training. I can ask him about this issue.

Yuan Ye judged from the sound of the sending keys that there were at least a dozen transceivers in operation. This shows that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' China Special Affairs Investigation Office, the so-called Iwai Mansion, has many branches and undercover groups all over China.

All the intelligence they collected was continuously gathered here, and the amount must be astonishing.

When Yuan Ye thought of this, he began to listen to the noises in Iwai Yuichi's office.

When Su Xiwu walked into the office, Iwai Yuichi immediately stood up from behind his desk and greeted him, smiling and saying:

"Old classmate, you finally came to see me."

"Iwai-kun, it's not that I don't want to come and see you. I've wanted to come and see you for a long time. I also want to learn calligraphy from you and play a few rounds of hand-to-hand combat with you, but you've been too busy lately."

Su Xiwu smiled helplessly. This was indeed the truth. He had wanted to meet Iwai Yuichi for a long time.

"It's true that I've been busy lately, but I'm still free for you to come."

He looked at Su Xiwu with a smile. He knew that Su Xiwu had been in trouble recently. He also knew about the assassination case outside the city government. Su Xiwu's confidant Qian Hao was on the run. Su Xiwu was a suspect in this incident.

He expected Su Xiwu to come to him for this matter.

He also wanted to hear Su Xiwu's explanation. He actually had his own judgment. He believed that the assassination could basically be determined to have been done by someone from Shancheng.

He knew Su Xiwu. He did have conflicts with Fu Quan'an and wanted to become mayor again. He had asked for his help more than once. Of course, he wanted to help Su Xiwu become mayor, which would be good for him to expand his power, but he was unable to do so at the time.

The military was too powerful. General Matsumoto, commander of the Central China Front Army, was very tough and supported Fu Quan'an. It was already good enough that he could help Su Xiwu keep his position as secretary-general.

Su Xiwu had a motive to kill Fu Quan'an. He had heard Su Xiwu talk to him many times about Fu Quan'an's suppression and exclusion of him, and advised him to be patient and wait for the opportunity.

Although Su Xiwu might have killed Fu Quan'an, it was impossible for him to kill the Japanese adviser at the same time. This was incomprehensible. Moreover, it was impossible for Su Xiwu to find such a well-trained and fearless team. Only a huge organization could have such a team.

Moreover, considering Su Xiwu's intelligence, if Qian Hao was instructed by him, how could he let him stay in Shanghai? This is a time bomb that could explode at any time. He would not be so stupid. Based on his understanding of Su Xiwu, this is absolutely impossible.

Of course he still had a question in his mind.
