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

There was no time to think about it now. The two of them discussed it for a while. Smith insisted on accepting Tom's request, thinking that this was a good opportunity that should not be missed.

He was an intelligence officer and of course knew the importance of mastering this source of intelligence. Moreover, the fact that the Japanese had planted two spies in the consulate was a humiliation for him and was also caused by his carelessness.

If you can find an insider among the Japanese, there will undoubtedly be a sense of pleasure in revenge.

He had no reason to refuse, either publicly or privately.

Wood naturally followed Smith's opinion, after all, he was the officer in charge of intelligence.

The two quickly reached a consensus and agreed to accept Tom's request. Smith immediately drove to the consulate to report to Cole to get the money, while Wood returned to the coffee shop.

Of course, all this did not escape Yuan Ye's ears. When Wood came back and sat opposite him and told him that he had agreed to his request, Yuan Ye acted very calmly and did not seem to be surprised at all.

Wood looked at Yuan Ye's calm expression and was secretly surprised. It was obvious that he had already made up his mind and was sure that they would agree.

While waiting for Smith to come back, Wood kept testing Yuan Ye, trying to learn a little about this mysterious man from the conversation.

To his disappointment, Tom in front of him was very tight-lipped and did not reveal anything about himself.

About 40 minutes later, Smith came back with a bag in his hand. Now there was nothing to hide, so he sat directly next to Wood.

He went back to report to Cole and explained the interests involved, and Cole quickly agreed.

In fact, it was useless for him to disagree. Smith was arranged by the British Intelligence Agency to work in the Consulate General. On the surface, he was responsible for the security of the Consulate General and was his subordinate.

But in fact, it was just a cover for his identity. He was actually responsible for collecting various overseas intelligence, mainly reporting to the British Intelligence Agency. Of course, as the Consul General, Cole also had a certain right to know.

The 2 pounds that Smith took was not money from the consulate, but intelligence funds allocated to him by the British Intelligence Agency.

Now that it was out in the open, he no longer tried to hide it in front of Yuan Ye. He shook hands with Yuan Ye, then took out a briefcase from his bag and handed it to Yuan Ye, saying:

"Mr. Tom, this is what you wanted. We have fulfilled our promise. Now it's time for you to fulfill your promise."

Yuan Ye took the briefcase and, just like at the beginning, he did not open it to count the things. Instead, he put it directly into his arms and put it into the space.

He had activated his ability to eavesdrop on people's thoughts and knew from Smith's heart that this was the genuine 2 pounds, not a penny less.

Smith thought to himself, this person is really a bit strange and doesn't play by the rules. Doesn't he even need to check it out?

He put it in his pocket without even looking at it. Wasn't he afraid that the amount was not enough or that it was counterfeit?

If it were him, he definitely wouldn't do that.

He felt the same way Wood had felt when he saw it before.

Yuan Ye glanced at Smith and smiled:

“I feel comfortable doing business with my British friends because I know you won’t behave in an ungentlemanly way.

Mutual trust leads to better cooperation. I will now start to fulfill my promise. "

He pulled a notebook and a pen from his pocket, opened the notebook, and began to write on a blank page.

It was finished in a short while. Yuan Ye tore off the page and handed it to Smith.

"Mr. Smith, this is what you need. It's all given to you."

Smith took the note and saw that it was full of English. Yuan Ye was afraid that he could not understand Chinese, so he wrote it in English. In fact, Smith knew some Chinese, but he was not very proficient. He could still understand basic reading and writing, and could speak poor Chinese. This was also the reason why the British Intelligence Agency sent him to China.

As mentioned above, Tom gave the Japanese informant the code name "Needle", and the code name Tom used when contacting him was "Tailor".

Tom also considerately suggested that they could continue to use these two code names for communication, and Smith could arrange for someone who knew Japanese to replace his identity as a tailor.

For security reasons, they rarely met before and used dead mailboxes to communicate.

Generally, they contact us once every 2 to 3 days. The dead mailbox is located in a small hole on the branch of a willow tree by the small lake in Hyuga Park, Hongkou District. The hole is relatively hidden, with the opening facing the lake, and it cannot be discovered if you pass by the side.

This willow tree is about 200 meters away from the park gate. One of its branches extends deeply into the lake. There is a stone bench for people to rest about two meters under the tree, so it is easy to find.

Of course, Yuan Ye also suggested that if they were still worried, they could discuss using other methods of contact.

The final focus, of course, is the true identity of this Japanese informant.

He is an official of the Japanese Special High Technology Department in Shanghai. His name is Ichiro Ozawa. He is short, less than 1 meters tall, but very strong. He also knows some Chinese and can speak poor Chinese. His hobby is to go to the Kawate Izakaya to drink with geishas. This is a very detailed introduction.

Yuan Ye had no psychological burden about betraying Ichiro Ozawa. He was just a little Japanese soldier and deserved to be killed.

And there is no loyalty to this Ichiro Ozawa, he is just doing it for money.

He believed that if the Japanese discovered that Ichiro Ozawa was a traitor and caught him, they would betray him without hesitation.

Now that Yuan Ye has handed him over to the British, he has nothing to do with him anymore and will never contact him again.

As for how the British used him, it had nothing to do with him.

After reading it, Smith put the note in his pocket, intending to take it back for filing.

He thought that Tom should not have lied to him, after all, it was Wood who took the initiative to propose the deal.

Moreover, Tom seemed to be a generous person. He didn't even count the money, which showed that he had enough trust and respect for them.

He was quite satisfied with the deal. After returning, he would think carefully about how to use this informant and make him more valuable. After all, he had bought him for 2 pounds, which was a considerable price.

The first step was that he planned to make an appointment with Ichiro Ozawa through the dead mailbox that John mentioned, and use a new method of contact in the future. Of course, he would not use the method that John used before.

He said to Yuan Ye:

"Mr. Tom, it's a pleasure to work with you. I hope I can have the opportunity to work with you again in the future."

"Well, Mr. Smith, I hope so, but I'll have to wait until I return home. Then I'll take my leave."

After Yuan Ye finished speaking, he stood up and left.

I thought to myself that this trip was quite rewarding.
