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

Ichiro Ozawa agreed and did not dare to delay. He returned to the action team and conveyed Yoshio Takemiya's order. The rest of the action team members immediately went out.

Since the death of two squad leaders and sixteen agents in the action team, the team has been severely damaged. Although some new members have been added, the scale has not yet recovered to its previous level.

The main reason was that Yoshio Takemiya considered that with the Special Agent Headquarters as his arm, the operation of arresting anti-Japanese elements would be mainly carried out by them, allowing the Chinese to deal with the Chinese. However, Ichiro Ozawa and Shigeru Yoshida became experienced agents of the action team.

Then Ichiro Ozawa went to No. 76, met Li Qunshi, and conveyed Takemiya Yoshio's order. Li Qunshi was also surprised to hear that Ono Keiji was killed. He was here to discuss the hunter plan with him yesterday, but he didn't expect that he would be gone today.

The KMT agents are truly omnipresent. It seems I have to be more careful in the future.

He immediately ordered the Operations Department and the Intelligence Department to send people to search for the vehicle. After sending the task, he thought, Ono Keiji is dead, should the Hunter Plan be carried out? He needs to ask Takemiya Yoshio for instructions.

So he accompanied Ichiro Ozawa back to the Special Higher Police.

After Ichiro Ozawa received the order and left, Yoshio Takemiya fell into deep thought. Yoshio Takemiya was indeed a cunning old man and soon felt that there was something strange about Keiji Ono's death.

Why did Keiji Ono go out as soon as he got off work?

How did the Military Intelligence Bureau agents know the whereabouts of Keiji Ono?

Did the Military Intelligence Bureau spy on Keiji Ono all along? Or did they discover him by accident? Or did someone reveal Ono's whereabouts?

Yoshio Takemiya felt that it was unlikely that the Military Intelligence Bureau agents accidentally discovered Keiji Ono's whereabouts and decided to kill him on impulse. It was too much of a coincidence.

If it wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision, then why did the Military Control Commission want to kill Ono so deliberately?

Logically speaking, Ono Keiji's rank is not high and the threat is not that big. Is it worth it for the Military Control Commission to put so much effort into him? They could just find someone more valuable to target.

Several hours have passed since the killing at noon, and the killer and his car seem to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Doesn't this show that this was a planned and premeditated action by the Military Control Commission?

The more Takemiya Yoshio thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He wanted to investigate this matter thoroughly. He said to his secretary Fujita:

"Does Team Leader Ono often go out after get off work recently?"

Fujita said:

"I'm not sure about this, but I noticed that Team Leader Ono hasn't eaten in the cafeteria recently. I don't know why?"

"Oh, there is such a thing."

Takemiya Yoshio frowned and thought, there must be something wrong here.

Fujita continued:

"But, Section Chief, I did hear some rumors, but I don't know if they are true or not."

"What's the rumor? Tell me about it!"

Fujita's words aroused Takemiya Yoshio's curiosity.

"I heard that Team Leader Ono often went to the Kawoji Izakaya, where he fell in love with a geisha and rented a house outside to support the geisha."

"Is there such a thing? Does the entire Special Higher Police know about it, and I am the only one who is kept in the dark?"

Yoshio Takemiya was obviously a little angry. This Ono Keiji had a family in his hometown, but he was still keeping a geisha outside. Where did he get so much money?

"Go to Team Leader Ono's office right now, collect his personal belongings, and bring them to me. Go to the Japan Specie Bank tomorrow to check his account."

Fujita took the order and left. Half an hour later, he came back with a small cardboard box, put it on Takemiya Yoshio's desk, and said:

"Section Chief, these are Team Leader Ono's personal belongings. We found them in his locked desk drawer."

Yoshio Takemiya took a look and found that the box mainly contained some letters and a notebook.

Yoshio Takemiya picked up the notebook and opened it. It was Keiji Ono's diary. He knew that Keiji Ono had the habit of keeping a diary. He asked Fujita to collect Keiji Ono's personal belongings just to find the diary. He thought that perhaps through the diary he could know what had happened to Keiji Ono recently.

Sure enough, the diary recorded that Ono Keiji fell in love with a geisha named Harada Masako, and they rented a house and lived together. What Fujita said was true.

Takemiya Yoshio continued to read, and a diary entry from a few days ago caught his attention. The diary entry for that day read:

"Today, three Chinese came to the section chief's office. They were the head of the Municipal Government's Secretary Section 1, Chai Ruhai, and the head of the Security Section, Yu Dehai, and a strange young man, also from the Secretary Section 1. They came to discuss the security plan for Chen Lu, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Restoration Government.

But this strange young man named Yuan Shikai gave me an unusual feeling. I felt like I had seen him somewhere before and he looked very familiar, but I couldn't remember where. Although he denied having seen me before and said that I had recognized the wrong person, I was sure that I had not recognized the wrong person and I was sure that I had seen him somewhere.

Whether in the Special High Section or in the Military Police Headquarters, he took the initiative to avoid us when we discussed Chen Lu's security plan. Is this normal or deliberate?

I have an indescribable feeling about this man, and I hope that at some point I can remember where I have seen him before.”

Takemiya Yoshio remembered that these people had indeed come to his office a few days ago. The young man named Yuan Shikai could speak fluent Japanese and had attracted his attention. If he hadn't had a Chinese name, he would have thought that this person was Japanese. So he had a very deep impression of him.

Keiji Ono said that he had seen this person before, but he couldn't remember who he was at the moment, and he seemed a little suspicious of this person. Takemiya Yoshio knew that this was an agent's intuition. It was a job for an agent to be skeptical of anyone and anything. Keiji Ono was a professionally trained and experienced agent, so this intuition might be even stronger.

Of course, intuition alone is not enough, there must be evidence to prove it. Unfortunately, Keiji Ono's diary did not say whether he remembered or where he had seen him, nor did it provide any valuable clues.

However, regardless of whether there is any problem with Yuan Shikai, it is necessary to send someone to investigate. If there is no problem, of course it is good. If there is a problem, it may be a breakthrough.

The head of the intelligence team, Inukai Hiroshi, went to Suzhou to investigate the traitor around Li Yuandao, the commander of the Peaceful National Construction Army. He has not returned yet, but he has found several suspects and is currently screening them. He is too busy to be away, and Takemiya Yoshio cannot think of a suitable person to do this.

He thought that since Ono Keiji was dead, the action team could not be without a capable leader, and his hunter plan still needed someone to carry out.

We should ask Section Chief Doi to transfer a capable person. He actually has a suitable candidate in mind.
