The Japanese could not, of course, mention the Chinese agents' attack on the printing base when explaining the blockade of Shanghai. They could only use the pretext of Chinese agents assassinating high-ranking Japanese officials to search for fugitive criminals. So Lei Daming only knew this much. However, even this little bit of information made Chen Jiaping break out in a cold sweat.
He was quick-witted and responsive. In fact, after Zhang Puhe's introduction, he had secretly begun to suspect An Ruwei's identity. Otherwise, everything wouldn't have been so coincidental. If An Ruwei really was a Japanese spy, then what was her purpose in approaching him? Chen Jiaping didn't know, but he knew it certainly wasn't a good thing. Thinking of this, his desire to avenge An Ruwei faded considerably. Everything depended on the Japanese reaction. If it was confirmed that An Ruwei was indeed a Japanese spy, it meant she had other motives. In that case, Chen Jiaping didn't need to be so infatuated. He had seen women before, so he naturally put the matter out of his mind.
At that very moment, the interrogation of Kohei Uemura in the intelligence department's interrogation room also came to an end.
As expected, although Kohei Uemura endured the torture with his strong will, he lost his will to resist after sitting in the electric chair and finally told everyone he knew.
Kang Tingshan handed the interrogation record to Huo Yueze, and only after looking at the contents did he realize where the problem lay.
It turns out that the whole thing started with an accidental conflict, which led the Green Gang members to pinpoint the Shanghai station. He knew about the conflict, but he never expected it to become the fuse that ignited the whole affair, causing the Shanghai station to suffer heavy losses and the entire operation to fail.
Huo Yueze couldn't help but sigh. Sometimes, a seemingly insignificant detail can lead to such a huge loss. It's truly a cruel twist of fate!
"The same old method, these people are no longer useful, let them all sink in the Huangpu River!" Huo Yueze ordered.
"Yes!" Kang Tingshan withdrew.
The next day, the French Concession Municipal Council reported these related cases to the Japanese military. Kitaoka Ryoko, the head of the intelligence group of the Japanese Special Higher Police, rushed to the French Concession police station. Looking at the row of corpses covered with white sheets in the morgue, Kitaoka Ryoko was heartbroken and could hardly breathe.
In just two months, Kitaoka Ryoko had lost so many trusted subordinates she brought from the North China headquarters, and two of her three infiltration teams had been wiped out by Chongqing agents. This was hard for her to accept.
Especially since her junior, Chiba Yoko, was among them. The two had known each other since childhood and had been classmates for many years. Over the years, they had supported each other and had a deep friendship. Chiba Yoko had helped her a lot to get to where she was today as a woman. Her death was a huge blow to Kitaoka Ryoko!
Lifting the white cloth and looking at Chiba Yoko's face, Kitaoka Ryoko felt an overwhelming hatred in her heart.
"Shanghai Intelligence Bureau! Those bastards!" Kitaoka Ryoko gritted her teeth and cursed inwardly.
She naturally knew who had killed Chiba Yoko and the others. The Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai Station had been routed and had fled the French Concession without a trace. The only possible force that could have taken action against the infiltrator group was the mysterious Shanghai Intelligence Bureau, which had been hiding in the shadows and waiting for the right moment to reveal its sharp fangs!
At this moment, Alphonse, the counselor of the French Concession, walked in with a helpless expression, followed by Chief Detective Lei Daming and Zhang Puhe, the head of the field operations section.
Looking at the officers in Japanese uniforms, especially the beautiful female officer at the head, Alphonse forced a smile and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Kitaoka, this incident was too sudden, and we are very sorry. The remains of your personnel are here. I must emphasize again that none of us want such a tragedy to happen again. To be honest, we simply do not have the ability to guarantee their safety, so please do not send any more personnel into the French Concession. It will be better for everyone!"
