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

The three of them came and sat down in front of a thick mahogany round table. On the table was a wooden chessboard. At each end was an exquisite blue and white porcelain plate, one with black chess pieces and the other with white chess pieces. The chess pieces were as delicate as jade, and their color was crystal clear and soft, and they looked very valuable.

Su Xiwu played black first. He did not use the usual opening, but instead, contrary to his usual practice, used the "Three Three, Star, Tian Yuan" layout.

The first move is to place the black piece at the "three, three" position in the upper right corner. The second move is to place the black piece at the star position in the lower left corner. The third move is to place the black piece at the Tianyuan position.

These three moves surprised Iwai Yuichi a little. In traditional chess schools, this is called the "ghost gate", which is a very taboo move.

What the hell is this Su Xiwu doing? He doesn't play by the rules.

In addition to calligraphy, Iwai Yuichi also loves Go. He has read a lot of Go records and has done some research on various openings. This is the first time he has encountered this kind of opening.

Faced with this unreasonable layout, Iwai Yuichi sneered in his heart. This old classmate was simply looking for death. His chess skills were originally stronger than his, but he made such an unreasonable opening. Wouldn't he lose even faster?

He decided to stick to his existing ideas and proceed steadily to deal with Su Xiwu's seemingly frivolous layout.

Both sides made moves quickly and soon entered the middle game. The situation gradually became clear. Yuan Ye analyzed that although Iwai Yuichi had gained some real ground, Su Xiwu had firmly gained the outer position and the situation was actually advantageous. Obviously, his seemingly unreasonable layout produced amazing results.

This was something Iwai Yuichi had not expected, and he was a little confused. How could this be possible?

He immediately thought that Su Xiwu's layout must have been based on the layout in the "New Layout Method" chess book, otherwise it would be impossible for Su Xiwu to play such a chess. In order to verify the doubts in his mind, he asked:

“Xiwu, your layout is very unique, and the effect is surprisingly good. I underestimated it.

It's probably not something you came up with, it's from Wu Qingyuan's New Layout Method chess book."

"Yes, you are right. It is indeed in this book. How is it? The effect is quite good, isn't it?"

Su Xiwu said somewhat complacently.

"Sure enough!"

Iwai Yuichi sighed in his heart, frowned, and fell into deep thought.

Yuan Ye knew that Iwai Yuichi's only chance now was to break into the center of the belly and make it alive, otherwise he would lose the game.

Iwai Yuichi's thinking was the same, only by giving it a try could he have a chance to turn defeat into victory. He attacked the midsection without hesitation, but it was easier said than done given Su Xiwu's strong external force.

After dozens of moves, the big dragon in Iwai Yuichi's belly rushed left and right, struggling hard, trying to survive, but Su Xiwu pressed forward step by step, not giving him any chance. Seeing that his hope was becoming increasingly slim, Iwai Yuichi once again fell into long thought.

In fact, Yuan Ye saw a good move. As long as this move was made, there would be hope of revival. However, this brilliant move was made in an incredible place. With Iwai Yuichi's chess skills, it would have been difficult for him to think of it.

A true gentleman watches a game of chess without saying a word, so Yuan Ye naturally didn't dare to say anything.

Just then, there was a knock on the study door, interrupting Iwai Yuichi's thoughts.

The door was pushed open a crack, and Iwai Yuichi's secretary and assistant Hirota Naoki stuck his head in and said:

"Mr. Iwai, your call. I also have something else to report to you."

The study has good sound insulation and you can't hear the phone ringing in the office from the study.

Iwai Xiong nodded slightly, stood up and walked to the door. Suddenly he seemed to remember something, turned around and said to Yuan Ye:

"Shi Kaijun, I have something to do that will delay me for a while. Please help me play. I might lose this game. Please help me lose less and try not to make it too embarrassing."

Iwai Yuichi considered that he had something to do and didn't know how long it would take. It was not good to let the two of them wait in the study. There was basically no hope of winning this game of chess, so he simply let Yuan Ye continue playing so that the two of them could kill time and avoid waiting.

When I come back, I will play another game with Su Xiwu. I just underestimated his strange start. I must pay attention to the next game and try to win it back.

Su Xiwu also said:

"Okay, Shikai, since Mr. Iwai is busy, you can come down and we can kill some time."

Yuan Ye said:

"Okay, I'll continue then. Mr. Iwai, you go and do your thing."

After Yuan Ye finished speaking, he sat down in Iwai Yuichi's seat. Iwai Yuichi left the study, closed the door, and went to his desk to answer the phone.

Yuan Ye stared at the chessboard, pretending to be thinking, but his ears were listening to the noise in the office outside.

The call came from Nanjing, informing him that the investigation team would arrive in Shanghai tomorrow afternoon. After arriving, the team members would hold a meeting together.

After answering the phone, Iwai Yuichi turned to Hirota Naoki and asked:

"Hirota-kun, what do you want to report?"

Hirota Naoki immediately reported:

"The Silver Fox Team sent a message from Shancheng that they have successfully persuaded Chen Zongmin, the head of the Japan Section of the Asian Affairs Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to defect."

Iwai Yuichi heard this and said happily:

"I didn't expect the operation to be successful so quickly. This is really good news. We now have an important source of intelligence in Shancheng's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We can quickly grasp and respond to changes in Shancheng's foreign policy.

You call Silver Fox to commend him and remind him to be safe at all times.

This group has been lurking in the mountain city for just a few months and has made great contributions. We cannot lose them."

When Yuan Ye heard this, he thought to himself, what the counterintelligence department of the Military Control Commission is doing? This Silver Fox group instigated Chen Lu from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to defect, but failed to track him down. Now they have allowed him to instigate another important official in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to defect.

This important information must be reported to the Fisherman immediately, hoping that this information can help the Military Control Commission crack down on the Silver Fox Group.

I didn’t expect to gain such a great deal from my first visit to Iwai Mansion. It was really worth the trip.

Naoki Hirota said:

"Yes, especially the instigation of Chen Lu to rebel, which aroused the vigilance of Shancheng. The counter-espionage department of the Military Control Commission has been investigating the matter. Fortunately, Silver Fox was very cautious and did not reveal any clues.

It’s a pity that after finally getting Chen Lu to Nanjing, he was killed in Shanghai.”

Hirota Naoki looked very regretful.

Iwai Yu nodded slightly and said with deep agreement:

"Yes, it is indeed a pity. Chen Lu was very talented in diplomacy, but I didn't expect that he was assassinated by the Military Control Commission agents.

This time the investigation team went to Shanghai to investigate the murder of Chen Lu and the murder of consultant Yamada.

The reason why I became a member of the investigation team was because Chen Lu was instigated by our Iwai Mansion.

This time we must find out who leaked Chen Lu's whereabouts in Shanghai and we must not let the efforts of the Silver Fox team go to waste."
