Chapter 1928 Locking onto Mizutani
No. 21 Yihe Road.
Su Chende stared at the map of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai hanging on the wall, lost in thought.
“District Chief.” Zhong Yongqiang came in. “Director Meng is no longer in Nanjing. I heard from Mrs. Meng that Director Meng left in a hurry.”
"He's a good dog who's willing to listen to Li Cuiqun," Su Chende said with a cold snort.
Zhong Yongqiang's eyebrows twitched, but he could only pretend he hadn't heard what the district chief said.
"Do you know what Meng Tianyou went to Shanghai for?" Su Chende asked.
"I heard that Captain Hu in Shanghai has turned himself in," Zhong Yongqiang said after thinking for a moment. "I'm guessing it might be related to this matter."
……
"You must leave for Shanghai immediately." Su Chende pondered for a moment and said, "Go secretly to see Meng Tianyou. Tell him that Hu Sishui has risked his life for the Special Agent Headquarters and made countless contributions. He must not do anything that would disappoint a meritorious person or his own brother."
"What the district chief means is that Director Meng went to Shanghai for..." Inspired by Su Chende's words, Zhong Yongqiang thought for a moment and suddenly felt enlightened. "It can't be that bad."
"Tell me, where is it not a bit much?" Su Chende snorted and said, "I don't need to explain what Meng Tianyou's Zheng Zhi Security Headquarters does, do I?"
"Understood, sir." Zhong Yongqiang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "When I see Director Meng, I will convey every word of the District Chief's words to him."
Su Chende gave Zhong Yongqiang a few more instructions before letting him leave.
……
Leaning back in his chair, Su Chende had a cigarette between his teeth and a glint in his eyes.
As soon as Hu Sishui surrendered himself to the authorities, Li Cuiqun sent an urgent telegram ordering Zheng Zhi, the head of the Security Bureau, Meng Tianyou, to return to Shanghai immediately.
What does Meng Tianyou's Zheng Zhi Security Headquarters do?
It is an internal agency within the intelligence headquarters.
Su Chende was naturally well aware of this.
Whether Hu Sishui is alive or dead, Su Chende has no interest in him, nor does he have any sympathy for him.
What he was concerned about was that, based on his understanding of Li Cuiqun and the information he had about the grudges between Hu Sishui and the Japanese, and given that Hu Sishui had committed such a serious crime this time, Li Cuiqun was probably going to completely abandon Hu Sishui.
Meng Tianyou's return to Shanghai signifies that Li Cuiqun intends to launch a "clean-up" within the 76th Bureau, with Hu Sishui clearly taking the lead.
Hu Sishui is a close confidant of Li Cuiqun, an old brother who joined the Special Agent Headquarters during its early stages.
Li Cuiqun's ruthlessness would undoubtedly chill the hearts of the agents within No. 76, who would feel a sense of shared sorrow.
……
In this situation, Su Chende would naturally not miss the opportunity to sow discord and win people over.
Hu Sishui was "extremely guilty of heinous crimes," and the Japanese wanted to kill him. No one could save Hu Sishui, not even Su Chende. However, this did not stop him from making a fuss about it.
Of course, he didn't expect this incident to cause any real harm to Li Cuiqun. However, if it could make some people within No. 76 feel alienated from Li Cuiqun, then it would be a success.
……
Two days later.
Zhuqiao Bridge.
Qiao Chuntao was wiping her Mauser pistol.
His movements were gentle and deliberate.
Just then, a knock sounded on the door, a rhythmic code of three long knocks followed by one short knock.
He glanced at Ma Benzai, who stepped forward to the door and asked a couple of questions in a low voice.
"Stationmaster, Lu Liu is back," he said to Qiao Chuntao.
The door opened.
Lu Liu brought two people in: Mao Xuanyi and Shen Xi, who had arrived in Nanjing the day before yesterday.
Both Mao Xuanyi and Shen Xi were very polite to Qiao Chuntao.
Being entrusted with important responsibilities by the Director and having to take on all the work in Nanjing not only shows the Director's trust in her, but also demonstrates her remarkable abilities.
……
"Have some tea first," Qiao Chuntao said calmly. "We'll talk business after the intelligence we need arrives."
Mao Xuanyi and Shen Xi exchanged a glance and both smiled.
“Alright, I’ve heard that Station Chief Qiao has excellent tea. I’ll be troubling you this time.” Shen Xi smiled.
"Don't be so polite with him. It's not easy to get Brother Qiao to treat us to a meal when we have the chance," Mao Xuanyi said with a smile.
About twenty minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Ma Benze opened the door and went out, then quickly returned and handed Qiao Chuntao an oil paper package.
……
Looking at the photos laid out on the table, Mao Xuanyi and Shen Xi were both surprised and delighted.
“I was just thinking about it. Putting everything else aside, we don’t even know what the target looks like. This is going to be difficult,” Mao Xuanyi said. “Brother Qiao is truly amazing…”
He picked up the photo and looked at it, saying happily, "That's great!"
Mao Xuanyi said, "Brother Qiao, please teach us a lesson. What kind of nonsense is this?"
In the photo, he recognized Araki Harima, the captain of the Shanghai Special Higher Police Action Team.
This person was a 'good friend' of the director, and he secretly identified people according to the director's instructions.
……
“This person is Araki Harima, the captain of the Shanghai Special Higher Police Operations Unit,” Momoko said, picking up a photo. “Araki Harima and his men are the overt security force protecting Mizutani Shogo this time.”
"Since there's an overt security force, does that mean the people secretly responsible for Mizutani Shogo's security have been identified as members of the Shanghai Special Higher Police's intelligence office?" Shen Xi asked. "Have they been found?"
“This person is my grandson Shinta, the head of the Shanghai Special Higher Police Intelligence Office.” Momoko picked up another photo and said, “This ‘tent’ head has never shown his face. This is a photo that was hard to get. Although only his profile is in the picture, it can be confirmed that it is my grandson Shinta.”
"This person appeared on camera with Araki Harima," Mao Xuanyi said immediately. "He also met privately with my grandson Shinta, and Shinta's attitude towards him was very respectful."
He asked Qiao Chuntao, "Could this person be our target, Mizutani Shogo?"
“Yes.” Qiao Chuntao nodded. “It can be basically confirmed that this person is Mizutani Shogo, whom the Japanese requested to be under strict protection.”
"Moreover, and most importantly, this person's face was captured clearly in the photo, which can be used for identification," Qiao Chuntao said to the two of them.
……
"He looks gentle and refined, like a very cultured person." Mao Xuanyi picked up the photo, looked at it carefully, and said, "If you didn't know he was Japanese, you could easily mistake him for a respected and learned writer."
“There are plenty of these beasts in human form among the Japanese,” Qiao Chuntao sneered. “Especially those who appear to be gentle, learned, and respectable intellectuals, but are actually ruthless and cruel at heart. There are countless examples of them.”
……
“This Mizutani Shogo must be someone of high status,” Qiao Chuntao said. “Every time he and his men go out, they are under the strict protection of the Shanghai Special Higher Police. In addition, we are very careful and have also discovered that there are military police protecting Mizutani Shogo in secret.”
“This further demonstrates that Mizutani Masagos is very important and worth our attention,” Shen Xi said.
"Judging from the photos, when Mizutani Shogo and my grandson Shinta met, it was almost like a secret rendezvous, very discreet," Mao Xuanyi said, holding the photos and examining them closely. "And here, what's this?"
He asked Qiao Chuntao.
Taozi took the photo and stared at the spot Mao Xuanyi was pointing to. He even took out a magnifying glass from the drawer and studied it carefully.
