At that moment, a man not far from him watched his back, frowned and thought for a moment, then whispered to the two young men beside him, "Go follow this person, don't disturb him, just find his whereabouts, and we'll verify him later."
This was Bi Zhengcheng, another deputy of Huo Yueze and the deputy captain of the second action team. He was also carefully observing the crowd around him with his men when his eyes fell on Ding Dahai, who was leaving.
At this moment, Lu Xiu noticed the movements of two team members and slowly approached. When he got close to Bi Zhengcheng, he asked in a low voice, "Is there something going on?"
Bi Zhengcheng hesitated and said, "I found one, but I don't know if there's a problem. I just have some doubts."
At this point, looking at Lu Xiu, he continued, "This person has been behind you the whole time. He seems quite ordinary, but although he's wearing coarse cloth clothes, they're very clean, without a single stain, which doesn't seem like something he wears often. Also, there's a faint mark on his hair, pressed very low, probably from when he wears a military or police cap. He watched the commotion for a while but didn't ask a single question, just turned and left. It seems a bit strange, so I had two people follow him and find a place to stay before we talk about it."
Lu Xiu nodded without saying anything more. The two separated again and continued to observe from the corner, identifying people with suspicious behavior.
After leaving the crowd, Ding Dahai gradually quickened his pace. It seemed that he had come somewhat rashly. However, he would not feel at ease without seeing it with his own eyes. He had to think of a solution and report the news to Team Leader Imai Yuji in time.
Ding Dahai walked quickly, and soon turned a street corner. Then, with a sharp turn, he slipped into a shop and hid inside, observing the outside world.
It wasn't that he realized someone was following him; it was just a standard anti-tracking maneuver that Ding Dahai was doing out of caution, to determine if anyone was watching him from behind.
But his expression quickly turned ugly. Just as he hid inside the shop, he saw two young men turn the corner.
The sudden loss of their target surprised them. The two young men exchanged a glance and quickly split up to pursue the enemy.
They've been targeted after all!
Ding Dahai was filled with regret. He had managed to shake off his tail, and although he was safe for the time being, he had also let his opponents know that he had a problem.
Originally, only the liaison officer of the arrest team, Ryosuke Kawaguchi, knew what he looked like. Now, anyone who is following him will be suspicious. What a blunder!
However, if he didn't shake off the agents who were following him, they would discover his cover identity, which was something he didn't want to see. As long as these agents conducted a screening, he would soon be exposed to the Military Intelligence Investigation Department.
There was no time to hesitate! Ding Dahai quickly turned into an alley. Having lived in Nanjing for so many years, he knew the streets of the city very well. Instead of going back to the police station, he went straight home.
After entering the house, he quickly destroyed all the suspicious items in the room, then changed his clothes, took out a pistol and hid it on his waist, picked up a suitcase and hurriedly went out. He then hailed a rickshaw and rushed to the train station.
He knew he could no longer risk staying, as the Military Intelligence Bureau's operations in Nanjing to hunt down Japanese spies were becoming increasingly efficient.
The atmosphere in Nanjing was tense, and members of the Japanese spy team went into hiding in an attempt to survive this unprecedented crisis.
This already terrified Ding Dahai, and now these two things have happened in quick succession.
The first thing is the complete annihilation of the Japanese arrest team, which included Ryosuke Kawaguchi, who had been in contact with him. If Kawaguchi had revealed his existence to the Military Intelligence Investigation Department, there would definitely be an arrest operation targeting him.
The second thing is that the agents who discovered and followed him today, although they have been temporarily shaken off, have further exposed him. They can recognize his face, which is extremely dangerous for a covert agent.
As an excellent agent, one should not take chances; if there is even the slightest possibility of being exposed, one should prepare for the worst!
I'm asking for monthly votes again this late! My ranking has dropped a bit too fast! I'll try my best to write more, and I guarantee three updates this weekend. Please understand!
