Morita Yuki said irritably, "You're really lucky. You can't do anything and you're always slacking off, but you happen to have a good teacher. Nobody dares to say anything to you. I'm miserable. I run my legs off every day and still always get scolded by the captain."

Among these investigators, his professional skills and work ability were the worst, only slightly better than He Siming. However, He Siming had Akita Akihito taking care of him, so he naturally had an easy life, while his life was not so good. He was always ridiculed by others, and Akita Akihito never gave him a kind look.

"Alright, when Captain Akita was talking about you, didn't I speak up for you? Honestly, just thinking about Iwai makes me angry. He always tries to find a way to make things difficult for me. If I could beat him, I would have dealt with him long ago!" He Siming said helplessly.

The two chatted and laughed for a while, then left together.

Inside the house, Iwai no Nakaji was giving a detailed report to Akita Akihito.

"You mean you've discovered the exact location of the Chinese artillery positions? Quick, tell me in detail!" Akita Akihito said urgently. Iwai Nosuke, as expected of his most capable agent, had never disappointed him.

"Yes, sir!" Iwai Nosuke replied respectfully. "I scouted the designated area today but didn't find anything. So I walked along the main road and around that jungle area. I found signs of clearing on the dirt road in the easternmost part of the jungle. I walked about a hundred meters along the dirt road and sure enough, I found wide tire tracks on the road. They were definitely the tires of a heavy-duty truck. Think about it, who would drive such a truck into a remote jungle area and even deliberately clear the tire tracks on the side of the road? This is just trying to cover it up."

“That makes sense, Iwai-kun, you did a great job.” Akita Akihito couldn’t help but clap his hands and laugh. “Your observation was meticulous; you finally found it!”

Iwai Nosuke smiled slightly and continued, "I was afraid that the Chinese army would set up guards nearby, so I didn't go in. But the only place around that is that grove of trees where an artillery unit could be hidden. I'm pretty sure that the Chinese artillery position is there!"

“You did a very good job, especially the final handling was very cautious. The Chinese army is protecting this artillery unit very closely. There must be a lot of sentries around it. If you go too deep, it will be difficult to escape their sight. Instead, you will fail. Not only will your safety be in jeopardy, but you will also alert the Chinese army. It will be even more difficult to find them next time!”

Now, based on our previous assessments and reconnaissance, it's clear that the artillery positions must be in this area. Combined with your reconnaissance results, we've almost pinpointed the location of the Chinese artillery. We'll report immediately, and tomorrow at dawn, the air force's bombing will confirm everything. Iwai-kun, your contribution to this operation is paramount. I will give you a prominent nomination when I return to the Special Higher Police headquarters!

Akita Akihito's words made Iwai Nosuke extremely happy. As an excellent agent, Iwai Nosuke's abilities were indeed outstanding. However, just like in any department, Iwai Nosuke came from a commoner background and did not have a strong backer. Later, he was not promoted by any superior who appreciated him. Since joining the Special Higher Police, he had been mediocre and had no opportunity to show his abilities, and had wasted several years.

This time, Iwai Nosuke was able to enter the enemy's rear in Pudong to perform well and gain the appreciation of his superior who had just been transferred from Taiwan. He had no intention of spending his time in mediocrity. It was precisely because of this that he was quite dissatisfied with He Siming, who had always been under the protection of Akita Akihito, and repeatedly targeted He Siming. However, Akita Akihito always stepped in to stop him in the end, and Iwai Nosuke dared not say anything more.

Akita Akihito praised Iwai Nosuke highly and offered a few words of encouragement before letting him leave.

Akita Akihito was quite excited at this moment. For so long, finding Chinese artillery positions had been their top priority. Last time they failed, but this time they would not let them escape again.

This crucial intelligence must be reported to headquarters immediately, because each plainclothes team only has one radio. Therefore, we must find Colonel Tanikawa and Colonel Shin to immediately use the military radio to send a message.
