After Ren Dashi left Ren Zhiping's house, he walked towards the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau. When he was almost at the headquarters, he walked into a grocery store on the street.

A middle-aged man with a sharp face sitting behind the counter saw him come in, stood up immediately and said enthusiastically:

"Section Chief Ren, you're here to buy cigarettes again."

After saying that, he skillfully took out a pack of cigarettes of the brand that Ren Dashi often smoked from the shelf at the back and handed it to Ren Dashi.

Ren Dashi took the cigarette, tore open the cigarette box, took out a cigarette and lit it, looked around to see if there was anyone around, and whispered:

"My cousin Ren Zhiping has come to Shancheng. Please check his situation in Shanghai for me."

Then he said loudly:

"Put it on my account and settle it at the end of the month."

After saying that, he swaggered out of the grocery store and met a colleague on the way. The two of them walked into the headquarters of the bureau while chatting and laughing.

In the corridor of the office, he ran into Chu Yuntian, who was lowering his head with a serious expression, and he inexplicably felt a little nervous.

He had heard that Chu Yuntian and his men had ambushed a Japanese assassination team at the Shenxian Cave Villa where Yadley lived, and the entire team was wiped out.

This Chu Yuntian acted in an extraordinary manner as soon as he arrived. Of course, what he was more curious about was how Chu Yuntian obtained such accurate information?

Without accurate intelligence, it would be impossible to achieve such results.

He guessed that something must have gone wrong on the Japanese side. Needless to say, there must be a traitor in the Military Control Commission among the Japanese, otherwise they would not have been able to obtain such important intelligence.

This inevitably made him feel a little worried. He must not let the traitor know his true identity, otherwise he would be finished.

He told his superior, code-named "Gray Wolf", the owner of the grocery store who went by the alias Li Xiang, the news that the Japanese assassination team had been wiped out.

He believed that the Japanese would definitely conduct an investigation, but it was hard to say whether they could find the answer.

During the attack on Shenxian Cave, the Military Intelligence Bureau would definitely suspect that there was a traitor among their ranks, otherwise how would the Japanese know that Yadri lived in the Shenxian Cave villa.

Although there are a lot of people in the Military Control Commission headquarters, no less than a thousand, and it is not that easy to investigate, but he still has to be cautious. Chu Yuntian is in charge of counterintelligence work and is not an easy person to deal with.

You need to keep a low profile in the bureau during this period and focus all your energy on obtaining the Changsha combat plan.

Seeing Chu Yuntian coming towards him, Ren Dashi calmed down and greeted him with a smile:

"Hello, Director Chu."

Chu Yuntian, who had a serious face, heard someone greet him. When he looked up and saw that it was Ren Da, he immediately stopped, put on a smiling face, and said:

"It's Section Chief Ren. I was your father's old subordinate. Is your father in good health now?"

"You're fine. This is the first time I've heard that you worked with my father."

Ren Dashi felt a little puzzled. His father had always been in the military. How could Chu Yuntian be his father's old subordinate?

Chu Yuntian laughed and said:

"You may not know that during the Northern Expedition, General Song was the commander of a division, and I was a platoon leader under General Song.

When I was awarded a medal for my meritorious service, it was General Song who presented the award to me personally.

But more than a decade has passed. I remember General Song, but General Song may not remember me, a soldier back then."

Ren Dashi thought, so that's what's going on. This is a good opportunity to get closer.

"I'll go back and tell my father that you were once his subordinate. I think he will be happy to meet you."

"Okay, when I'm done with this, I'll go visit General Song."

Chu Yuntian said readily.

He actually had this idea a long time ago. Ren Dashi was the person he was secretly investigating, and he also wanted to pay General Song a visit to learn about his family situation from the side to see if he could find some clues.

In fact, he was very conflicted. He hoped that Ren Dashi was the traitor, so that a major threat would be eliminated, but he also hoped that he was not, after all, he was the son of his old boss.

Chu Yuntian returned to the office with mixed feelings. He had just come out of the office of Xu Shiguang, director of the Operations Department, before he met Ren Dashi in the corridor.

As soon as he arrived at work at noon, Xu Shiguang called him to his office.

He didn't know why Xu Shiguang wanted to see him, until he arrived, he found out that Xu Shiguang was still obsessed with Xu Dehua's death.

Xu Shiguang didn't ask at first. After making a cup of tea for Chu Yuntian, he said with a smile:

"Old Chu, you have achieved success as soon as you arrived. The Shenxian Cave Operation was a success. The Director is also very happy and praises you highly. It is really a cause for celebration!"

In fact, when Xu Shiguang first heard that Chu Yuntian's Fairy Cave operation was a great success, he felt a little uncomfortable. Chu Yuntian became famous as soon as he arrived, and the bureau chief trusted him more. His status in the bureau chief's heart also increased. This made him a little disappointed and also made him feel a little threatened.

Chu Yuntian said modestly:

“This is also the result of strong support from the bureau chief and department chief. Although we have achieved some results, now is not the time to be proud.

The Japanese spy organization lurking in the mountain city has not been uncovered yet. I still feel very stressed and can't sleep at night."

Chu Yuntian smiled bitterly.

Xu Shiguang believed that Chu Yuntian was not lying. The Japanese spies had been stationed in the mountain city for a long time and were hiding very deeply. How could they be uncovered so easily? If it were easy to catch them, they would have been caught long ago. There would be no chance for Chu Yuntian to be caught.

Although he became famous once, I'm afraid he won't be so lucky in the future.

If he still fails to make any progress over time, the bureau chief will not be so patient and his trust in him will probably be greatly reduced.

When he thought of this, he felt a little more balanced.

Smiled:

"Old Chu, you are so capable, you will definitely be able to catch all the Japanese spies in Shancheng. The director and I believe that we will see this day come."

"Then I'll rely on your good words."

He knew that Xu Shiguang had called him here not just to congratulate him on the success of his operation, but for something else.

Sure enough, Xu Shiguang said:

"I came to you because I have one more thing to ask you, which is about my nephew Xu Dehua."

When Chu Yuntian heard this, his heart skipped a beat. On the surface, Xu Dehua was shot dead because he tried to escape, but in fact he was the one who secretly ordered Yue Haishan to execute him. The matter was done without any mistakes. After reporting to the headquarters, there was no reaction from the headquarters, which should have acknowledged that he escaped and was killed. Why did Xu Shiguang suddenly bring up this matter again? Did he see something wrong?

Xu Dehua was willing to be a spy for the Japanese and posed a huge threat to the Shanghai Station. This man deserved to be put to death. If such a person is not killed, how can the martyrs who died in the war feel?

It was based on this that I ordered the secret killing of Xu Dehua, but it also involved some risk.

As his uncle, Xu Shiguang should have put justice above his own family, but he actually went to the bureau chief to plead for him, hoping to give him a chance to live. No one knows what he was thinking.

Chu Yuntian sighed deeply in his heart.

Xu Shiguang continued:

"Old Chu, you were at Shanghai Station at the time, so you should know this very well. Can you tell me how Xu Dehua died?"

Chu Yuntian thought, how could I possibly tell you the truth, it’s simply wishful thinking.

So after the Shanghai station received the order from the headquarters, he prepared to escort Xu Dehua back to the mountain city. When Xu Dehua heard that he was going to be transferred, he took advantage of Yue Haishan's unpreparedness and attacked him. He told the story in detail about how he was shot to death by the two team members who were guarding him while escaping.

Finally said:

"This is what happened. Stationmaster Wang personally investigated it and confirmed that it was correct before he informed the headquarters. Director, I believe you should have seen it. Do you still have any questions?"

Xu Shiguang heard that what Chu Yuntian said was the same as what was written in the telegram, frowned, and said:

"Old Chu, there is one thing I don't understand. If Xu Dehua was going to be taken back to the mountain city, why did he run away? He could have survived, so why did he seek death? Is he that stubborn?"

The implication is that someone deliberately wanted to kill Xu Dehua and did not want him to return to the mountain city alive. It is very likely that everyone at the Shanghai station colluded with each other and did this on purpose.

Chu Yuntian of course heard his hidden meaning and explained:

"It's normal for the director to have this question. After the incident, Stationmaster Wang and I were also a little confused. If Xu Dehua was really going to be executed, he should have been executed in Shanghai. Why did he need to be taken back to the city?

Later we concluded that Xu Dehua must have misunderstood and thought that taking him back to the mountain city was a trick, but in fact he was transferred to another place for execution.

According to Yue Haishan, when he told Xu Dehua that he was going to be taken back to the mountain city, he should have been happy, but he did not seem happy at all. This also proves our judgment from another aspect.

To be honest, Stationmaster Wang and I both feel very sorry. We know that Xu Dehua is the director's nephew, and we don't actually want him to die, otherwise Stationmaster Wang would not have sent you the telegram.

Stationmaster Wang has the right to execute first and report later. If he really wanted to kill someone, he would have done it long ago without asking for permission from the headquarters. He would only need to report to the headquarters after the killing.

Virgo, don’t you think so?

Chu Yuntian thought, this should be explained clearly. Even if Xu Shiguang still has doubts, I don’t think he can find evidence. What can he do to me?

Xu Shiguang's eyes rolled around. He didn't quite believe Chu Yuntian's explanation. He always felt that this matter was not that simple.

Wang Tianwang had a good relationship with him. While sending a telegram to the bureau chief, he also sent a telegram to himself. Only then did he get the news and plead with the bureau chief. If Wang Tianwang really wanted to kill Xu Dehua, there was no need to do this.

Maybe Chu Yuntian did this without telling Wang Tianwang.

Of course, he was just suspicious and had no evidence.

He said with a fake smile:

"Maybe. This is the only possible explanation. I can't possibly suspect that you and Stationmaster Wang did this on purpose."

Chu Yuntian understood as soon as he heard it. It was obvious that Xu Shiguang had something else in his words. He suspected that he was the one who did it. If he really thought so, they would probably not be able to work together happily in the future.

Chu Yuntian did not regret it. If it happened again, he would still kill Xu Dehua, no matter whether he was Xu Shiguang’s nephew or not.

It seemed that he had to achieve results in his counterintelligence work as soon as possible, otherwise his future life would be difficult. He felt even more stressed.

Fortunately, with Yuan Ye's help, he has started to act in two directions.

The first is to use the photos of Japanese spies to find people. Based on the information about Japanese spies provided by Yuan Ye, he has already outlined a rough range, and the search operation had already started yesterday.

Second, when Ren Zhiping had successfully approached Ren Da, the secret investigation had already begun.

Of the two actions, he felt that the one that was likely to produce results faster was to use the photos of Japanese spies to find people. He obtained the consent of the bureau chief, mobilized a large number of personnel, and promised a generous reward. He estimated that the entire screening would take a week, and if he was lucky, he might see results within two or three days.

But what he didn't expect was that the results came faster than he expected.

In the evening, Yue Haishan came to his office excitedly, followed by Li Hong, captain of the first action team.

Both of them looked excited, and Chu Yuntian immediately had a hunch that these two people must have brought him good news.

As expected, Yue Haishan said as soon as he opened his mouth:

"Deputy, we have discovered the Japanese female spy codenamed "Raccoon Cat"."

"This female spy named Kyoko Matsuda was found so quickly?

How did you find it?

Chu Yuntian asked in surprise.

He was a little bit incredulous, and the unpleasantness that Xu Shiguang had brought him in the afternoon was immediately swept away.

"It was discovered by Captain Li's men. Let Captain Li report the details to you."

Yue Haishan pointed at Li Hong and said.

Li Hong was also overjoyed and said:

"Our brigade is responsible for the South Bank District. After receiving the order yesterday, I asked all members of the brigade to wear civilian clothes, memorize the photos of the Japanese spies, and divide them into ten groups to secretly search in various streets.

Because there are many government officials and celebrities living in Nan'an District, and because you said that Kyoko Matsuda is most likely working as a maid in an official's home, I focused my search on Kyoko Matsuda and had the team members hang around the homes of government officials and celebrities.

Unexpectedly, we found something. A team member named Guo Bin went to Shangqingsi Street at 30 pm. When he passed the gate of a government official's house, he found a woman dressed as a maid standing in the yard. She was about years old and looked a bit like Kyoko Matsuda in the photo.

He didn't dare to confirm it at that time, so he secretly took out the photo and took a look. He found that she looked very similar to the female spy in the photo. It was basically certain that she was Kyoko Matsuda in the photo.

He didn't say anything at the time, but just remembered the house number of that family, No. 25 Shangqingsi Road, and immediately found a phone nearby to report it. I asked him to stay there and not to alert the enemy, and to keep a close eye on that family. "

As soon as I hung up the phone, I went to Chief Yue to report to him and ask for instructions on the next steps. This is the specific situation. "

Yue Haishan is now the chief of the newly established counterintelligence department and is directly responsible to Chu Yuntian. As soon as Li Hong finished speaking, Yue Haishan continued:

"Director, do you know who lives in that government official's house?"
