His words contained both truth and falsehood. Although he had already reported Sun Xiangde's surrender to Tsuchihara Keiji, he deliberately concealed some information about the bats. Now that a problem had arisen, he could only shift the blame onto Sun Xiangde in the hope of making it believable.
Keiji Tsuchihara snorted coldly. He didn't believe Li Zhiqun's words, but Li Zhiqun's greed for credit and recklessness were also for the purpose of capturing Chinese agents, and Keiji Tsuchihara was unwilling to punish him for that.
Keiji Tsuchihara waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be in such a hurry to explain. I called you here to understand the specific situation. Now tell me in detail."
Li Zhiqun quickly reported everything he knew, including today's operation, to Tsuchihara Keiji, leaving no detail out. He was an extremely professional agent, and the information he collected was very comprehensive and complete. It took quite a while before he finished reporting.
Just as he was recounting how he discovered someone was killing people with a gun and how they broke through the blockade, Ryoko Kitaoka, who had been silent until now, suddenly interrupted and asked, "What kind of weapons were these people using?"
"It's a standard 11.43mm bullet, which should be the Browning pistol commonly used by Chinese special agents."
At this point, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "We asked some citizens who were at the scene at the time, and they said there should have been four gunmen. Although there weren't many of them, the time they spent killing was extremely short. They shot all six people in just a few seconds. The bullets hit vital organs, almost all of them in the heart area, and two of them were shot in the back of the head. They weren't shot in any other parts of the body!"
"What does this mean?" Keiji Tsuchihara asked with great interest.
Li Zhiqun frowned and analyzed carefully: "This shows that these gunmen are very accurate marksmen, and their actions are swift and decisive. Most gunmen aim for vital organs when killing their targets. Only gunmen who are very confident in their marksmanship will aim for the head, because the human head is small and its movement and dodging are much more agile than the body, so the success rate of hitting the head is relatively low. From this point of view, these gunmen are all highly skilled in action and have a strong ability to cooperate in combat. They killed all our men as soon as they made contact, without wasting any time. By the time our people gathered around, they were all gone."
Upon hearing Li Zhiqun's narration and analysis, Kitaoka Ryoko's expression changed drastically. She immediately thought of an old adversary, for only the operatives of this mysterious adversary possessed such combat skills.
"What other characteristics do these people have?" Yoshiko Kitaoka continued.
Li Zhiqun continued, "Also, according to the citizens and my men, they didn't hear any loud gunshots. In the chaos, they didn't even hear clearly, so their reaction was slow, and by the time they realized what was happening, it was too late."
"They even installed silencers! Their equipment is so sophisticated!" Keiji Tsuchihara said with some surprise. As special agents, their most commonly used weapon was a pistol, so they had a deep understanding of pistols. "It should be a Colt pistol. This type of pistol is currently the best in the world. It is highly accurate, powerful, and especially versatile. It can use a matching silencer, and its bullets are 11.43 mm!"
At this moment, Kitaoka Ryoko finally realized it. She turned to Tsuchihara Keiji, bowed, and said, "Teacher, it must be the Shanghai Intelligence Section!"
The Shanghai Intelligence Section? Keiji Tsuchihara was startled; this adversary had reappeared.
Li Zhiqun looked at Kitaoka Ryoko with some surprise and asked softly, "Team Leader Kitaoka, may I ask what kind of intelligence department the Shanghai Intelligence Section is?"
Li Zhiqun had not been in Shanghai for long and had not been involved in Shanghai's intelligence warfare before, so he naturally did not know about this mysterious special forces unit. Now, after hearing what Kitaoka Ryoko said, he was very curious and eager to know which opponent had defeated him this time.
Kitaoka Ryoko nodded and said, "The Shanghai Intelligence Section is the most mysterious intelligence department of the Military Intelligence Bureau of China. As far as we know, they are an elite team of agents of the Military Intelligence Bureau who participated in the Battle of Shanghai between Japan and China. After the battle ended, they did not retreat, but instead remained in Shanghai to continue their sabotage activities against us."
The early leader of these people was Ning Zhiheng, the current director of the Second Operations Division of the Military Intelligence Bureau. He was also the most notorious intelligence chief in the Military Intelligence Bureau, having presided over a series of major operations, including the Fukuoka warehouse bombing, and posed a great threat to us.
Fortunately, after the establishment of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Ning Zhiheng was transferred from Shanghai to a high-ranking position in the Bureau. The current leader's name is unknown. They are very cunning and never have any contact with other Military Intelligence Bureau departments. So, although we arrested many agents of the Military Intelligence Bureau's Shanghai station before, none of them knew anything about them.
Their intelligence capabilities are also extremely strong. It is said that most of the military intelligence obtained by the Military Intelligence Bureau is provided by the Shanghai Intelligence Section. Therefore, their position in the Military Intelligence Bureau is very special, their level of secrecy is the highest, and they pose the greatest threat to our imperial intelligence department.
I previously dispatched many agents to infiltrate the French Concession specifically to find this special forces unit, but they were all killed in turn, suffering heavy losses. In the last operation, sixteen of our agents were killed by Colt pistols equipped with silencers, and even the bullet wounds were similar—all to vital organs and the head. Therefore, I concluded that the people who appeared today are our most dangerous adversary in Shanghai right now: the Shanghai Intelligence Bureau!
