Chapter 933 Nighttime Stalking

Upon hearing Takasaki Shigeo's words, Miyahara Shun quickly nodded in acceptance. His position in the intelligence department was not low, comparable to that of Moriki Keio before him. He was considered an experienced senior spy, and he was already mentally prepared to be sent to Chongqing by Takasaki Shigeo this time.

"Yes, I understand. However, we need intelligence agents who can reach certain levels. If we only stay at the level of ordinary people, we will not have intelligence capabilities. Even if an intelligence network is established, it will be meaningless."

Takasaki Shigeo nodded in deep agreement. The establishment of an intelligence network was not simply a matter of placing intelligence agents in Chongqing; it was also essential to ensure that these agents could play their roles effectively.

The members of the previous intelligence network were mostly businessmen, government officials, and even many important members of key government departments, such as the Military Commission, the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. It can be said that the intelligence network before that was painstakingly built by the Japanese, with huge investment and remarkable results, and was an effective intelligence network.

But now that we've been reduced to our original state, and everything has to start from scratch, how easy is it to restore our previous intelligence capabilities?

He nodded and said, "That's true. But fortunately, part of the previous intelligence network has been preserved. At least the power in Silver Fox's hands has been preserved. I still have a few important pieces that I haven't used yet. We'll use them as a foundation to build the framework first. I'll assign you a few valuable intelligence agents."

Miyahara Shun also knew that Takasaki Shigeo still had some trump cards up his sleeve, and it seemed that this time he would have to use them.

Miyahara Shun asked, "Any news from Silver Fox?"

One of Miyahara Shun's tasks was to find out the remaining strength of the intelligence network, but he couldn't find Silver Fox and couldn't confirm the situation of her intelligence team.

Takasaki Shigeo said, "It seems that Silver Fox is hiding very well, and no one can find her. I came here this time to personally contact Silver Fox and learn about her specific situation. Oh, by the way, let me give you a heads-up in advance that her intelligence forces will also be handed over to you in the future."

"Leave it to me?"

"Yes, Silver Fox has been detected by the Chinese intelligence agencies. It's too dangerous for her to stay in Chongqing. She could be exposed at any time, putting the intelligence network in danger. Transferring her away from Chongqing is the best option. Miyahara-kun, you need to be prepared. You will have to shoulder greater responsibilities in the future. I'm counting on you!"

After saying this, Takasaki Shigeo bowed deeply, and Miyahara Shun quickly returned the bow, saying, "Yes, I will do my best!"

Takasaki Shigeo and Miyahara Shun discussed for a long time in the house, finalized some details, and then left the back door of Yuanfu Restaurant under the cover of night.

He didn't notice that just as the back door opened, two men were carefully observing their every move through binoculars from the side of a window in a house across the street.

Intelligence captain Bai Mingcheng was a confidant of Shao Wenguang, so Shao Wenguang assigned him the task of monitoring Miyahara Jun. Soon, he set up a surveillance point near Yuanfu Restaurant. After Miyahara Jun opened a back door behind the restaurant a few days ago, Bai Mingcheng immediately set up this surveillance point.

So when Gao Qishige entered Yuanfu Restaurant, he immediately fell under surveillance. Bai Mingcheng said in a deep voice, "This is the only person who has secretly contacted the restaurant owner He Yuan in recent times. It was worth the wait. He is a new target. I will take some people to keep an eye on him. You stay here and continue to monitor him."

The assistant nodded in agreement, and Bai Mingcheng quickly left the room, taking two intelligence officers with him, following behind Gao Qishige's retreating figure from a distance.

Yuzhong District is the center of Chongqing and its most prosperous area. It has always been well-developed. Even after repeated bombings, the streetlights along the roads are still complete, and the lighting conditions are still good. Therefore, Bai Mingcheng and the others did not lose track of Gao Qishige.

However, after walking two blocks, Takasaki Shigeo suddenly turned and entered an alley, and Bai Mingcheng quickly stopped.

Having spent a long time in Chongqing, he knew the city's terrain, especially the streets of Yuzhong District, like the back of his hand. He knew very well that this alley was narrow and long, just a side road with several corners in the middle. The terrain was complex, but there were almost no houses, making it unsuitable as a hiding place.

Did the other party discover them? Or was it just a routine counter-tracking maneuver?

I hung myself very far away, almost at the furthest tracking position, and could barely see the target's figure. I shouldn't have alerted the target.

That's a counter-tracking maneuver! Bai Mingcheng couldn't help but curse inwardly. This target was far too cautious. It was already late at night, the light was dim, and the tracking conditions were extremely poor, yet he still maintained such a high level of vigilance. This must be an experienced veteran.

So he made a quick decision, grabbed one of his team members, pointed to the ground and then to the entrance of the alley, signaling him to stay and keep watch.

He led another team member and ran quickly towards the alleyway on one side. He sped up and ran non-stop until he reached the exit of the alleyway and came to a new street. He quickly reached the corner of a house, and not far from them was the exit of the alleyway that Takasaki Shigeo had entered.

He waved to signal, and the two waited quietly. Nearly ten minutes passed before Takasaki Shigeo's figure reappeared.

It was indeed a counter-tracking maneuver. Otherwise, the alley wasn't long, and the target should have come out long ago. They must have observed inside for a long time to make sure there were no problems before leaving the alley.

Bai Mingcheng couldn't help but feel secretly fortunate that it was he who was personally supervising tonight; otherwise, if it were someone else, they probably wouldn't be as familiar with the streets as he was, and they would have lost track of them this time.
