Imai Yushi was cautious and considered the problem very carefully, and this time he came to Hangzhou urgently to find out the cause of Kawamoto Kurashi's death, and another important reason was to see the progress of the investigation of that matter.

It wasn't until seven o'clock in the evening that Katsutake, the leader of the twilight team who received the notice, put on his makeup and rushed to a house in the Japanese concession on time.

Imai Yushi was extremely careful, he still thought that the Japanese consulate was too attention-grabbing, the Japanese concession area was very large, and it was difficult for Chinese agents to monitor it, so he still chose to find a secret place in the Japanese concession to meet Sakita Katsutake.

Katsutake Sakida rushes to the door of the house, knocks on the door with the agreed signal, and then enters the inner room to meet Yushi Imai.

The two of them sat opposite each other, Imai Yushi looked at the man opposite who was not amazing, and asked lightly: "Sakita-kun, I notified you to meet this time because I wanted to ask, what was the situation when you went to meet Mr. Kawamoto just three days ago?" ”

Sakita Katsutake looked at Imai Yushi on the opposite side, and groaned for a while, his news channel was conveyed through a message, and there was only time, place and people on it, that is, he just knew at what time, where, and who to meet, as for the rest, he didn't know anything else, so he didn't know the reason for Imai Yushi's summons.

He hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "I received a notice that I was only here to meet with the envoy of Shanghai, but without the order of my upline, Mr. Kawamoto, I can't mention work problems to anyone, so I'm sorry, I can't answer your questions!" ”

Although Imai Yushi is the head of the intelligence team of the Shanghai Special High School Textbook, Sakita Katsutake does not know him, and the conversation involves his upline Kawamoto Kurashi, so he still decided to keep his mouth shut.

"Sakida-kun," Imai's tone was obviously sad, "I have come to inform you of the sad news that my old boss, Mr. Kurashi Kawamoto, had died of a heart attack in his room late the night before yesterday, and I had come from Shanghai to investigate the cause of death and deal with his funeral. ”

"What?" Katsutake Sakita was taken aback when he heard Yushi Imai's words, he didn't expect this to be the case at all.

Since his upline died suddenly, what did the envoy want to talk to him about? Is it just asking yourself what you want to report? Does this have anything to do with the upline Kawamoto Kurashi?

Sakita Katsutake's heart was extremely uneasy, he gritted his teeth and had no choice but to say: "I met with Mr. Kawamoto to get his life back to him, and he had previously ordered me to go and investigate the reason why the Nanjing headquarters' arrest of us suddenly became extremely efficient. ”

Imai Yushi's eyes lit up, his figure suddenly straightened, and he asked urgently, "How can you say that you have already had the results and reported to Mr. Kawamoto?" But why didn't Mr. Kawamoto return to the headquarters for such a big matter? ”

Indeed, this matter is the most important task of the Hangzhou spy organization in recent times, and if there is an investigation result, Kawamoto Kurashi must report to the headquarters as soon as possible, and it is impossible to hide it and not report it.

Hearing Imai Yushi's doubts, Sakita Katsutake decided to talk to him, and he said softly: "Actually, the investigation is only halfway through, and there is no final result, so Mr. Kawamoto ordered me to follow this clue." ”

"What's the clue? Please tell me more about it. Imai asked.

Sakita Katsutake nodded and spoke: "Among the members of the twilight team, one of them is a rebel officer of the Hangzhou Military Intelligence Station, and he learned from his superior, Yuan Sibo, the head of the Intelligence Division, that the headquarters of the Nanjing Military Intelligence Investigation Office has been mainly targeting us in the past six months, and the operations mainly aimed at us have been presided over by a young officer, and this officer is named Ning Zhiheng.

This person has a deep background and ruthless methods, and is a very tricky character, and he just graduated from the China Army Academy half a year ago, which is commonly known as the Whampoa Military Academy.

Mr. Kawamoto believed that this person was the main person in this investigation, and that this person, as the executor of many operations, must know the real reason, so he ordered me to conduct a more detailed investigation of this person. ”

"Ning Zhiheng?" Imai Yushi said slowly, "According to you, it's just a very young young officer, and he could be the reason why China's spy department has suddenly become so sharp?" It's not logical. ”

Sakita Katsutake also nodded and said, "Kawamoto Kurashi also sees it this way, because this can't be explained." ”

Then he looked at Imai Yushi with hesitation.

"What? What else can't be said? Imai Yushi's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw Sakita Katsutake's expression of wanting to speak and stopped, and hurriedly asked.

Sakita Katsutake heard Imai Yushi's questioning, and finally spoke: "Actually, Mr. Kawamoto suspects that there is a senior Chinese spy hidden in our Shanghai special high school textbook. ”

"What did you say?" Yushi Imai's voice suddenly became higher, "What did Mr. Kawamoto say exactly?" ”

Sakita Katsutake replied directly: "Mr. Kawamoto's original words are that an excellent agent, the courage and experience he needs to have must be obtained in practice, so he thinks that this Ning Zhiheng is not the real reason for threatening us, but the appearance of an internal ghost within our organization, and the level of this internal ghost should be very high, otherwise it is impossible to explain the reason why the intelligence team that has been lurking for many years has been exposed one after another, because there is no horizontal connection between them. Mr. Kawamoto thinks that this Ning Zhiheng, as the specific executor, must have a connection with this inner ghost, or he knows the identity of the inner ghost at all, so he ordered me to continue to investigate Ning Zhiheng, or find an opportunity to directly arrest this person, force the identity of this inner ghost, and eradicate this tumor hidden within us. ”

Imai Yushi was speechless for a long time after hearing this, in fact, before that, he didn't think about this aspect, as a good agent, he was suspicious of any possible factors.

There is only one explanation for the fact that every spy group in Nanjing had no contact with each other, but they were suddenly arrested one after another in a short period of six months, that is, the Chinese spy department has found an effective means or method to deal with Japanese spies, and one of the most likely reasons is that there was a problem in the special high school textbook.

However, this idea flashed through my mind at that time, and I unconsciously rejected it, because for a long time, Chinese agents did not have the ability to steal intelligence from the Japanese spy service, because they were both Japanese and had a high degree of reliability.

However, because China's spy department started late, it did not have the time and ability to penetrate the core spy department of the Japanese, so the Japanese spy department trusted its own agents.

Especially in the special high school department, the senior agents who have mastered high-end secrets, these people are all veteran agents with deep qualifications and have been tested for a long time, and there will be no problems.

So at that time, the two directors of the Shanghai Special High School Headquarters and Imai Yushi also considered this possibility, but in the end they both denied it, and did not look for problems from the inside, and now I heard that Kawamoto Kurashi actually repeated this conjecture, Imai Yushi had to pay attention to it.

Oh, yes! There is an old Chinese saying that there are no absolutes in the world! Maybe it's really my own negligence, but my long-term habitual thinking has affected me, and it seems that this matter must be reported to the section chief and an internal investigation must be carried out, at least this possibility must be ruled out, and we must not be negligent.

Thinking of this, he said to Katsutake Sakida in a deep voice: "This possibility exists, the Chinese agents have risen rapidly in their operational capabilities, and now they are enough to be called our fierce rivals, maybe they really have the ability to find leaks within us." But this is only a possibility, by the way, has the investigation been fruitful in the past few days? ”

Sakita Katsutake couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The time is too short, and the information I have obtained is still a little less, but our insider inquired about a piece of news, and I don't know if it has anything to do with our investigation." ”

"What's the news?"

"One afternoon half a month ago, all the high-level officials of the Hangzhou Military Intelligence Station went to the train station in Hangzhou to greet a big man, just because the escorts were all members of the action team of the Hangzhou Intelligence Station, and my inner crocodile was an officer of the intelligence department, and there was little contact between the two because of the different factions, and the intelligence director Yuan Sibo was imprisoned because of the failure of the internal factional struggle, so the crocodile has not found out who this big man is?" Katsutake Sakida continued.

The status of this inside crocodile is still too low, and there are too few secrets in contact, plus Ning Zhiheng's actions in Hangzhou are strictly confidential, and he only has contact with the stationmaster Liu Tongfang and the action captain Quan Yulong, so it was not noticed by the Japanese.

"A big shot? This news is very important, you have to continue to follow up the investigation, if there is no channel, you have to find a way, in China, as long as there is money to open the way, there will always be a way, this fund will be specially approved to you. Imai Yushi waved his hand, his tone was decisive, he didn't care how much it spent, all he wanted was the result.

"As for this Ning Zhiheng, I will report it to the head of the department, mobilize all forces to investigate this person, and we must grasp his whereabouts and wait for the opportunity to arrest him.

Well done, Sakita-kun! As long as we have a goal, it is much better than us blind people who have no idea what to do, and I believe that soon we will be able to find the truth of the matter! ”

This meeting between the two of them made Imai Yushi a treasure, and he must now report to the section chief Taro Sagawa in time, and report the cause of the matter clearly, and the problem that has plagued Tegaoke for a long time will soon have a result.

After Yushi Imai and Katsutake Sakida broke up, he immediately returned to the Japanese consulate, called the highest-level telecommunication channel, and called Taro Sagawa on the phone to report the results of the investigation.
