Yoshio Takemiya had two purposes for this trip. One was to apologize to Commander Isogai for the death of Yamashita Takashi. He knew that Commander Isogai could not do anything to him as they were not from the same system, but he still had to make this gesture.

He had previously reported the details of Yamashita Takashi's death to his immediate superior, Chief Doi, but Chief Doi merely gave him a few words of admonition and did not punish him.

After all, the person in charge of the Hunter Operation was his favorite student, Masako Nagumo. Besides, after reading the report, Kenji Doi felt that they were not responsible for much. It was mainly because Yamashita Takashi had bad luck and the enemy was also very powerful.

If the higher-ups wanted to investigate, he could still handle it. He learned that Takemiya Yoshio went to apologize to Commander Isogai, and he thought it was right, after all, Yamashita Takashi was a subordinate of Commander Isogai, and it was Takemiya Yoshio who strongly invited him to go.

He made a special call to Isotani and explained the situation. Isotani complained for a while but didn't say anything else.

The second purpose of Takemiya Yoshio's trip was to meet Zhou Yuanju, the former deputy director of the Operations Department and chief of the Nanjing Station of the Military Control Commission, who had defected from Yamashiro. This person had a relatively high position in the Military Control Commission and must have intelligence that interested him. This was the main purpose of his trip.

The chief of Nanjing Special High Section, Sato Hiroshi, was already waiting at the train station. After picking up Yoshio Takemiya and Masako Nagumo, the group drove back to Nanjing Special High Section.

After lunch, Takemiya Yoshio did not take time to rest. Accompanied by Sato Hiroshi and Nagumo Masako, he immediately went to the headquarters of the Central China Front Army to meet Commander Isotani.

When Isotani first received the news that Yamashita Takashi had died in Shanghai, he was very shocked.

He really didn't expect that such a top sniper expert like Yamashita Takashi would die at the hands of the enemy.

When he understood the situation clearly, he was also amazed that the enemy actually had a master who was more powerful than Yamashita Takashi!

He could only sigh that Yamashita Takashi was unlucky and regret that he should not have allowed Yamashita Takashi to go to Shanghai.

Yamashita Takashi is better at field combat, but urban combat is too complicated and full of randomness, and may not be his forte.

If I had been firm at the time and had not been persuaded by Yamashita Takashi, perhaps this irreparable loss would not have occurred.

But then again, as a soldier, Yamashita Takashi made his own decision. Soldiers are bound to die on the battlefield, and this is his fate, so there is nothing to say.

After the news of Yamashita Takashi's death was published, the Japanese people felt depressed and the morale of the army was also affected to some extent.

For this, Isotani was reprimanded by the military. After Isotani made a defense, the military did not punish him severely, and the matter just passed.

This time, Takemiya Yoshio came to apologize. Although he still had some resentment towards Takemiya Yoshio, it had diminished a lot compared to before. In addition, Kenji Doi called again, so his attitude was still good and not too harsh. He just scolded Takemiya Yoshio and blamed him for not protecting Yamashita Takashi.

Yoshio Takemiya admitted his mistake sincerely and humbly. Isotani had nothing more to say and did not pursue the matter any further, so the matter just passed.

This was all what Yoshio Takemiya had expected. After he apologized and was scolded, he immediately returned to the Nanjing Special High Section with Hiroshi Sato and Masako Nagumo.

Arriving at Sato Hiroshi's office, as soon as he sat down, Takemiya Yoshio asked:

"Sato-kun, when did Zhou Yuanju come to you?

How did you confirm that he was Zhou Yuanju?"

Hiroshi Sato said:

"Yesterday morning, he came to the gate of the Special Higher Police, introduced himself, and said he wanted to see me and surrender.

The officer on duty at the door reported this to me and I was shocked and felt very surprised.

When the Nanjing station of the Military Control Commission was cracked, he slipped through the net and no matter how hard they tried, they still couldn't catch him.

I didn't expect that he would come to my door and surrender.

I was half-believing and half-doubting at the time, so I had someone bring him in. It was the first time I met him as my opponent. He claimed to be the former chief of the Nanjing Station of the Military Control Commission, so of course I had to verify his identity.

I have a lot of information about him here. Especially after we cracked the Nanjing station of the Military Control Commission, I asked him a lot of questions. He answered them all fluently and accurately. In the end, I confirmed that this person was Zhou Yuanju without a doubt. "

Takemiya Yoshio asked again:

"Did you ask him why he surrendered?"

Sato Hiroshi smiled and said:

"Senior, are you a little bit unbelievable too?

Of course I had the same question at the time, so I asked him why he surrendered.

He said that after he escaped from Nanjing and returned to the mountain city, he was locked up by Dai Yunong and awaited processing.

He spent a lot of money to get the connections, and not long after, he was released by Dai Yunong and re-employed, allowing him to make amends for his crime and take charge of the work of cracking down on the Silver Fox team.

The code name of the operation was "Fox Hunting". The attempt was to uncover the Silver Fox Group by monitoring Chen Zongming, the head of the Japan Section of the Asian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who had been defected by us, and follow the clues.

Unexpectedly, the operation was leaked. Someone called to inform Chen Zongming that he had been exposed and asked him to escape.

The Silver Fox Team also cut off all contact with Chen Zongming. Although Chen Zongming was arrested, he was of no value.

At this point, the Fox Hunt operation was a complete failure.

Zhou Yuanju knew that he could not escape the blame. If he was punished for two crimes, even if he was not shot, he might have to stay in prison for the rest of his life.

So he fled the mountain city ahead of time with his wife and children and came to surrender to us.

Finally he said he wanted to see you, so I called you."

Takemiya Yoshio had an idea in his mind. What Zhou Yuanju said was exactly consistent with what he knew, so he could be sure that this person was Zhou Yuanju.

However, Takemiya Yoshio has always been worried that Zhou Yuanju escaped from the mountain city with the help of Ren Dashi. Would Zhou Yuanju doubt Ren Dashi's identity?

Moreover, Ren Dashi is a member of the Fox Hunting Team and is also suspected of leaking information.

He took the risk to help him, and why?

Of course, their good relationship can also explain it, but what if Ren Dashi was a Japanese spy? This also makes sense.

Would Zhou Yuanju think so? This was what Wu Gongyifu was unsure about.

This is also one of the reasons why Takemiya Yoshio rushed from Shanghai to meet Zhou Yuanju. He wanted to test him carefully to see if he could dispel his worries.

Ren Dashi is very important to him, and his safety must be absolutely guaranteed. If he finds out that Zhou Yuanju suspects Ren Dashi, he will ruthlessly kill him after squeezing out all the value from Zhou Yuanju.

Of course, he still had a question in his mind: why did Zhou Yuanju tell Sato Hiroshi that he wanted to see him? What did he mean?
