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

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Qunshi and Wu Sibao rushed to Villa No. 5. As soon as they arrived at the door of the villa, they saw a corpse being carried out of the villa. It looked like a Japanese military police.

Li Qunshi was a little surprised and quickly retreated to the door. He saw that the body was quickly put into a military truck parked outside the door.

What surprised him even more was that another body was carried out immediately, and then another body was carried out continuously until the last body was put into the car and the truck drove away.

Li Qunshi counted them and found that there were as many as ten!

And they were all Japanese military police!

Li Qunshi was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. How come so many Japanese military police died?

And what's strange is that there was no blood on these Japanese military police, nor any signs of injury.

He was very curious about what happened in the villa.

I thought, with so many Japanese dead, it must be a serious matter. Could it be that I came at a bad time?

But then I thought, since I'm already here, there's no point in going back. I should go and see what's going on. Maybe I can be of help and relieve Mr. Wang's worries.

He registered at the concierge, and the person at the concierge made a phone call and asked Li Qunshi to meet Mr. Wang immediately.

When Li Qunshi was brought into Wang Jingwei's office, he saw Colonel Shirakawa of the gendarmerie and Masako Nagumo of the Special High Section.

Wang Jingwei saw Li Qunshi and said with a gloomy face:

"Director Li, I was just looking for you. You came just in time."

Li Qunshi was a little nervous and asked:

"Chairman Wang, what happened?"

Wang Jingwei said bitterly:

"Someone wanted to poison me, so they put poison in the cake. But I had no appetite today, so I asked someone to give it to the imperial soldiers standing guard in the yard. They were protecting me day and night, and it was very hard.

Unexpectedly, it harmed them and resulted in a tragedy where everyone who ate the cake died."

When Wang Jingwei said this, a very sad look appeared on his face.

"If you knew this was the case, I would rather die than implicate the imperial army."

Wang Jingwei said hypocritically.

"This is not your fault. If you want to blame someone, blame the Shancheng people. They tried to kill you yesterday, but they are still determined to do more harm to you."

Li Qunshi said quickly:

Colonel Shirakawa's face was filled with anger.

"When I catch the murderer, I will tear him into pieces and avenge the deaths of these soldiers."

Nanyun Masako said coldly:

"It's natural.

I just did some preliminary research and found out that the cake was ordered from Huamei Bakery and they sent their staff to deliver it to my door. This has been the case for some time now.

When the cake was delivered, just like before, a small piece was cut for the dog to try.

The dog was fine after eating it, and an hour later Mr. Wang gave it to the soldiers to eat. The soldiers were fine after eating it, but four hours later, they fell down one by one, and there was no time to rescue them.

According to the military doctor, this may be a delayed-onset poison.

This poison must be very toxic and even a small dose can kill a person.

It is said that this poison was invented by Americans and is strictly controlled. Ordinary people cannot get it, and only Shancheng can get it, so it must have been done by the Military Control Commission agents in Shancheng.

The top priority now is to arrest the owner of Huamei Pastry Shop and his employees. Regardless of whether they have any problems or not, they must be strictly interrogated to find out which link in the chain of responsibility for the poisoning and whether there are any accomplices of the Military Control Commission among them.

Huamei Bakery is in the French Concession, and it is not convenient for us Japanese to arrest people there. It is best for Director Li’s special agent headquarters to do this.”

Wang Jingwei nodded and said:

"Section Chief Nanyun, what you said makes sense, I think so too.

Director Li, I'll leave this matter to you."

Li Qunshi found the situation a bit tricky. It was easy to arrest the clerks, but the boss was a Frenchman. Once the concession authorities found out, they would definitely come after him to hold him accountable.

The Japanese were very cunning and did not want to have a head-on conflict with the French, so they let him be a shield.

He felt a little regretful that he should not have entered the villa and gotten involved in this mess.

It's too late to say anything now. What else can he do? He can only do it.

Li Qunshi said:

"Okay, Chairman Wang, I'll send someone to arrest them when I get back.

But the owner of this pastry shop is a Frenchman named Higgins. Will arresting him cause an international dispute?"

Wang Jingwei was a little worried when he heard this, as he did not want to offend the French Concession authorities at the moment.

"Is he a Frenchman? That's a little more cautious.

Colonel Shirakawa, Chief Nanyun, do you think we should still arrest him?"

Wang Jingwei consulted the two people and, deep down, he felt that it would be better not to arrest him.

Colonel Shirakawa was displeased by his tone and said angrily:

"How can we not catch him? Will my soldiers die in vain?"

I thought to myself, it’s not you who is dead, so you can just not catch him?

Wang Jingwei felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. Before coming to Shanghai, no one dared to talk to him like this. But now he was under the protection of the Japanese and lived under someone else's roof. It was not a pleasant feeling but there was nothing he could do about it. He had thought about this when he escaped from the mountain city.

But compared to the suppression and cold treatment he received from the man in Shancheng and his desire for power, this was not a big deal.

Although he was a little angry, he didn't show it at all. He explained:

"Colonel Shirakawa, that's not what I meant. Of course we have to arrest them, but we have to be more thorough and try to minimize the impact."

Nanyun Masako said:

"In this case, we can only arrest them secretly and we cannot let the concession authorities know who arrested them.

Don’t bring the captured people back to Unit 76, detain them in another place and conduct secret interrogation. This matter must be kept strictly confidential.”

Wang Jingwei nodded and said:

"Section Chief Nanyun is really thoughtful. So what should we do after the interrogation?"

Nanyun Masako said coldly:

“After the interrogation, no matter if there were any problems or not, they were all dealt with secretly, so that the concession authorities could not find the person, and the person would not be found alive or dead, and it became an unsolved case.

Even if the concession authorities suspect us, they have no evidence.”

Wang Jingwei thought to himself that this Nanyun Masako was really cruel, but her approach also made sense. If she released the person and the concession authorities found out, they would definitely cause trouble.

Rather than this, it would be better to just end it all once and for all and leave no evidence.

Wang Jingwei turned to Li Qunshi and said:

"Director Li, do you know what to do now?"

“Okay, I’ll do as Section Chief Nanyun tells me.

I have already thought about disguising this as a kidnapping case. The French probably would never dream that it was us who did it and would not suspect me.

Chairman Wang, you can rest assured. "

Li Qunshi said confidently.

He had doubts about arresting the French before, but now he has changed his mind and strongly agrees with the way Masako Nagumo dealt with the French.

He thought that he could take the opportunity to turn it into a kidnapping case and extort a huge ransom. After getting the ransom, he would kill the victim, thus killing two birds with one stone.

He had also thought of the person who would do this. This person was very familiar with kidnapping and was the most suitable candidate.
