Chapter 239: One Group Escaped
Thinking of the events that had happened before, Akao Hiroichi seemed to have sensed how terrifying Matsui's anger would be tomorrow.
"Akao-kun, why aren't you sleeping yet so late?" asked his wife Yukawa Sakurako in a daze.
Akao Hiroichi turned his head to look at his wife with a lazy look on her face, and the evil fire in his heart instantly rose. He roared like a beast and pounced on her.
Unfortunately, he worked hard for a long time but still couldn't accomplish anything. Not to mention that Yukawa Sakurako was impatient, he himself had long lost confidence in himself.
Yukawa Sakurako noticed that Akao Koichi's state and mood were a little off today, and worried that he would abuse himself again, so she persuaded him: "Akao-kun, it's okay, it's not your fault. Even if this didn't happen, we are still living well, aren't we?"
"Don't take it to heart, really!"
Akao Hiroichi thought for a while and said, "Sakurako, if anything happens to me, you must stay here and don't return home. I will ask Tanaka-kun to take care of you. The money I leave you is enough for you to live here for several lifetimes. Don't return home!"
Yukawa Sakurako couldn't help but take these words seriously. In her eyes, although Akao Koichi had a violent temper, he had always been a very strong-willed person, and he acted very confidently, with everything under control. She had never seen such a state of loss of control over certain things on his face before.
"Akao-kun, what happened? Why can't you return home?" she asked.
Akao Hirokazu said, "If something happens to me, you won't have a good life back home. They'll send you back here to serve those officers and soldiers on the front lines! Even though I'm the head of the Special High Section now, once I'm gone, people will forget about me. With your beauty, many people will pounce on you like wolves!"
"Once those people get tired of playing with you, they'll throw you here like any other ordinary woman to be a comfort woman. Have you seen those women? Do you know how they live? You don't know, it's more terrible than living in hell!"
Yukawa Sakurako couldn't help but shudder.
Yu Xianghui at Songhu Station was so shocked when he received a top-secret telegram from the headquarters that he jumped out of bed. He didn't even have time to put on his clothes or shoes before he issued the order to arrest the traitor.
The Songhu Station was lucky and their actions were quick enough. The Japanese spies who had infiltrated the station did not hear the broadcast in time and did not know that the military police headquarters had already notified them to evacuate, so they were caught and not a single one escaped.
The three Japanese spies lurking in Jiangcheng were only responsible for collecting intelligence on military deployment, economy and people's livelihood. They did not infiltrate the local Blue Shirts Society branch, nor did they lurk in local government departments, so they usually had much more freedom.
Tonight, a Japanese spy happened to be listening to the radio. After receiving the radio notice to retreat home immediately, she did not react at first and thought it was just an ordinary missing person notice. But then she listened to the radio broadcast notice several times in a row, and then she realized that the missing person notice was looking for her and her two other companions.
So she immediately packed up her gold, silver, jewelry and fake documents as quickly as possible and left the house. She also rushed to two other places to inform her other two companions.
The Blue Shirts Society members of Jiangcheng Station came up empty-handed, which made the stationmaster Ma Tiande very angry. He thought that someone among his men had leaked the information, but upon investigation, he found that no one had the opportunity to tip off.
Moreover, some of his subordinates reported that before they launched the operation, a radio station had issued a missing person notice that seemed to be a tip-off, and this missing person notice had been issued continuously.
Ma Tiande then listened to the contents of the missing person notice and said, "This is a high-power radio station in Songhu. The Japanese intelligence headquarters must have received the news that we were going to arrest people. They didn't have time to use the usual method to notify the Japanese spies to evacuate, so they used this almost public method!"
A Blue Shirts agent said to Ma Tiande: "Stationmaster, if that's the case, then the intelligence leak definitely didn't happen on our side. It was most likely leaked at headquarters! Think about it, if someone on our side leaked the news, even the Japanese intelligence headquarters wouldn't have had time to notify them!"
Ma Tiande nodded and said immediately, "Immediately call the headquarters and explain clearly what happened here. This is not our problem. If we want to hold anyone responsible, we have to hold the people at the headquarters accountable!"
"Yes, Station Master!"
After receiving another telegram from Jiangcheng Station, Wu Fengchao was furious. The duck that was set in stone had flown away, how could he not be furious? Furthermore, according to the report from Jiangcheng Station, the intelligence leak was probably caused by headquarters.
Although Songhu Station called to say that their operation was successful and several lurking Japanese spies were captured, this was not surprising. After all, those Japanese spies had already infiltrated Songhu Station and were extremely cautious in their actions. It was impossible for them to hold a radio set every day, so it was normal that they did not receive the notice to retreat in time.
Wu Fengchao did not dare to disturb Yu Shuinong again, but waited until the next morning after work to report to Yu Shuinong.
Yu Shuinong was furious after hearing the report and ordered an immediate investigation of anyone who had come into contact with the intelligence last night. The Japanese intelligence officers were actually lurking around him. How could this be allowed? Wouldn't that mean he would be killed every night from now on?
"You must immediately arrange for an investigation. You must find this hidden Japanese spy for me, otherwise I will be unable to sleep or eat!"
"Yes!" Wu Fengchao stood at attention, agreed, and turned to leave.
Yu Shuinong closed his eyes and thought for a long time. He opened the drawer and took out a file bag. He thought for a while, picked up the phone and dialed a number.
The call was quickly connected: "Hello?"
"Come to my office!"
"Yes!"
Not long after, a woman in military uniform and high leather boots stood outside the door and knocked: "Dong Dong Dong"
"Come in!"
The female officer pushed the door open, walked into the office, closed it, and stood at attention in front of the desk. "Commander, are you looking for me?"
Yu Shuinong said, "I called you here to send you to Shanghai to carry out a mission. Are you mentally prepared for this?"
"Report to the Director, I am ready to serve the country at any time!" the female officer said loudly while standing at attention.
"Very good!" Yu Shuinong nodded in satisfaction and continued, "You have two tasks on this trip: First, the Ministry of Finance has sent a man named Qin Zhicheng to Shanghai. He holds a batch of valuable foreign securities. With national affairs in dire straits, the higher-ups intend to sell those securities for real money to support government and military expenses!"
"On the one hand, you have to protect him, so that he can sell the securities smoothly, and protect the safety of the assets if he encounters danger. On the other hand, you also have to keep a close eye on him. After all, with such a large fortune, it's hard for someone not to have ulterior motives. If he shows any signs of intending to abscond with the money, you should know what to do!"
"In addition to this mission, you also have another one, which is to secretly investigate someone named Higanbana. He's actually one of our own, and he's made many contributions. He's been sending important intelligence to headquarters repeatedly these days, but he's out of control!"
