Spy Shadow

Chapter 522 The Battle for Fame

Thank you all.

Mitsui stood up and bent down. His rank was higher than the three in front of him, but they were not in the same department. This time they were purely here to help him.

Chief Mitsui, you're welcome, we are all working for Ishihara-kun.

Shimakura said calmly. His words showed his attitude. If it weren't for Ishihara Hiroshi, he would not be here, let alone help Mitsui frame others.

Hiroshi Ishihara was the main reason. Mitsui had to thank Hiroshi Ishihara, not him.

That's right, Section Chief Mitsui, since Ishihara-kun has given the order, we will fully cooperate.

Yamaguchi followed suit, he was the lowest level, but only for now.

After joining the literary club, with the help of Hiroshi Ishihara and the two presidents, he believed that his promotion to the military rank was inevitable.

All he has to do is listen more to Ishihara Hiroshi and contribute more to the literary society.

Section Chief Mitsui, let's start executing the plan. This is the first task assigned to us by Mr. Ishihara. We can only succeed and not fail.

Takemoto said softly, the three people said different words, but the meaning they expressed was the same.

They followed Toru Ishihara's lead and they were executing Ishihara Toru's orders. If Mitsui really wanted to thank him, then thank Ishihara Toru, not them.

Okay, I will inform you of Hoshino's situation at any time. I'll leave it to you this time.

Mitsui lowered his head slightly, and the three of them did not talk nonsense and went about their own things.

Section Chief, I didn't expect Ishihara Hiroshi to have such strong control over them.

After the three people left, Esaki He whispered, and Mitsui Amu couldn't help but nod.

The attitudes of the three people made him understand that they were sincerely working for Ishihara Hiroshi, and were even proud to work for Ishihara Hiroshi. This was their pride and honor.

All along, what Mitsui wanted most was such a subordinate.

Whether it is Hasegawa or now Ishida Koyama and Jiang Tengkong, they have not taken the initiative of the three of them. When they do things, they will be somewhat selfish.

Ishihara Hiroshi is just a businessman, and these three people are not his subordinates. It is really amazing that he can make a few people take such initiative.

Hiroshi Ishihara is a person who can only be friends with, not offend.

Otherwise, there is no need for him to speak out, and there are many people who will deal with him and want his life.

Mr. Hoshino, we found a suspect.

Not long after, Hoshino received a report from Li Zhiqun. These Chinese people have not been idle recently. They have seen some Chinese agents before. They go walking on the streets every day, or check the newly issued certificates of good citizenship, and look for hidden Chinese agents through photos. .

What suspect? From the Party Affairs Investigation Department or the Military Intelligence Department?

Xingye raised his head. Li Zhiqun was very capable and a talented person. Except for his low level, there was nothing else.

This person can be trained well and become his right-hand man in the future.

What's wrong with the Chinese? The Chinese are better and easier to control, unlike the Japanese. Because of Mitsui, how many people dare to get close to me now?

No, it's An Yaozu, the director of the Zhabei branch of the police station.

When he heard that it was the branch director, Xinye immediately raised his head: What suspicion does he have?

My people accidentally discovered that he sneaked to the dispatch army headquarters. Not knowing what he was doing there, he followed and monitored him and found that there was a counter-reconnaissance arrangement in his home. There must be something wrong with this person, and he is currently being watched.

Li Zhiqun quickly reported that no ordinary person would make counter-reconnaissance arrangements at home. Only people who have ulterior motives and are worried that their home has been entered without knowing it would do so.

In other words, only agents would do this.

Did you find out what he was doing at the Dispatch Corps Headquarters?

Hoshino was shocked. The branch director did not attract his personal attention. The important thing was that he had been to the dispatched army headquarters.

Although many officers are still on the frontline battlefield, it is still a very important place.

Not yet, but I'm keeping an eye on it. I believe I'll figure it out soon.

Li Zhiqun shook his head. Xingye thought for a moment and immediately asked: Who knows about this now?

There are only a few people, just me and three of my subordinates, all of whom are absolutely trustworthy.

Li Zhiqun whispered back, ever since he knew that Mitsui's spies were among the Chinese, Hoshino no longer had so much trust in these Chinese agents.

He only trusts one person now, Li Zhiqun.

If Li Zhiqun also betrayed him, there was no need for him to stay in Shanghai. No matter how much the section chief blamed him, he would still escape, at least that way he could survive.

Don't let others know your whereabouts. You go to the safe house and keep an eye on him. If there is any situation, report to me in time.

Hoshino ordered that he did not trust other people, only the few people in front of him could be trusted.

This matter cannot be known to others, otherwise Mitsui will definitely make trouble for him, and the targeted person may escape like last time.

Yes, don't worry, the news will definitely not be leaked this time.

Li Zhiqun learned a lot from the experience. Last time, he missed an opportunity to make meritorious deeds. This time, he must seize the opportunity and not go on business again.

Team leader, Li Zhiqun and his three men are missing. We went to ask Hoshino. Hoshino said they took leave, but we felt something was wrong. The four of them should have gained something to perform a secret mission.

A team member sent to the Detective Division came back to report to Jiang Tengkong.

The place where these Chinese people work finally has an official name. Hoshino named them the Detective Division. Their main responsibility is to detect and detect hidden Chinese agents.

There were not many people, but it sounded a lot more formal.

Find out immediately where Li Zhiqun and the others have gone.

Jiang Tengkong ordered, his men took the order and left, and he got up and came to Mitsui's office.

Section Chief, there is something going on at Hoshino...

Jiang Tengkong reported the latest intelligence to Mitsui. He had not reported this matter to the Chinese yet. He did not know what Li Zhiqun and the others were doing. He had no clue and no way to report it.

You must find out their true mission before you can report it.

I see.

After listening to Jiang Tengkong's story, Mitsui knew that Yamaguchi had taken action and the bait was being targeted by Hoshino's people.

Their work efficiency is really high. Once Hoshino takes the bait, he will definitely be finished this time.

The Dispatch Army Staff Department has Chinese internal agents. Hoshino will never remain indifferent to such information. He will definitely die this time.

Section Chief, I asked them to check Li Zhiqun's whereabouts. If they can't find it out, do you want to force Hoshino to tell him about it?

Jiang Tengkong asked softly. The person he sent was not of high level and could not question Xingye.

Li Zhiqun only took three of his confidants out. These four people did not have his spies. Unless he found them, he could not force them to tell them what their specific mission was.

If you want to know the truth about the mission quickly, you have to start with Mitsui.

No, just let them check.

Mitsui shook his head. He knew clearly that it was a trap and there was no need to act.

Section Chief, do you know their mission this time?

Jiang Tengkong was stunned and asked immediately. Mitsui suddenly looked at Jiang Tengkong with sharp eyes.

This is not in line with your temperament.

Jiang Tengkong explained with a smile that for Mitsui, Hoshino was like a stick in his throat, and Hoshino's affairs were his biggest concern. This time he heard that something was not normal in the Detective Division, but he refused to intervene. This was not a normal reaction.

There is no other explanation except that Mitsui Amu already knew about this mission.

Jiang Teng, yes, I know what he is doing, so don't ask about it again.

After thinking for a while, Mitsui nodded slowly. Jiang Tengkong was someone he could trust, and Jiang Tengkong guessed it himself, so there was no need to hide it anymore.

If that's the case, if that's the case, then we have to ask.

Jiang Tengkong smiled and nodded, while Mitsui frowned. Jiang Tengkong didn't wait for him to ask, and continued to explain: Hoshino must know that you are paying attention to him. He is obviously abnormal, but you don't ask, and he will become suspicious.

You're right, I was careless.

Mitsui suddenly realized that the authorities were confused. He was now thinking about how to get Hoshino to take the bait, ignoring his normal reaction.

Jiang Tengkong sighed slightly in his heart. His assessment of Mitsui's parity was indeed correct.

Mitsui is a qualified politician, not a qualified agent.

You continue to do what you want to do, but one thing is, don't disrupt their actions, just let them know that we are investigating.

Mitsui was not stupid. It was indeed his negligence before, but now Jiang Tengkong reminded him and he immediately made amends.

I understand, don't worry, nothing bad will happen.

Jiang Tengkong bowed his head and exited, while Mitsui stared at his back.

Jiang Tengkong is indeed good, and his ability is even higher than that of Ishida. He must be conquered as soon as possible and become his true confidant, so that he can be of great help to him in the future.

After returning, Jiang Tengkong did not make any arrangements, but asked two team members to find other Chinese agents many times and ask about the whereabouts of Li Zhiqun and others.

After knowing that Mitsui was involved, Jiang Tengkong no longer worried.

Since it was a mission that Mitsui knew about, it probably had nothing to do with the Chinese. It was probably Mitsui who used the evil in his belly to set a trap for Hoshino.

It was none of his business and he didn't ask.

Rose actually noticed the abnormality, which is good.

On the other side, Chu Lingyun received Tian Pei's message and shook his head with a smile.

Takemoto, the others, and Mitsui had already started taking action, but Chu Lingyun did not take the initiative to intervene. With these people together, Hoshino was doomed this time.

Hoshino was originally an outsider with no foundation in Shanghai. These people, not to mention local cowards, were definitely much better than him.

…

Outside Xuzhou, an elite Japanese army was marching slowly.

It was indeed very slow, lazily and stop-and-go along the way, and from time to time someone would have diarrhea and fall behind.

Brigade commander, it's hot and the soldiers are hungry. Let's take a rest.

Sekiya Shoji came to the brigade commander and said with a smile. The brigade commander looked at the lazy soldiers behind him and frowned.

Forget it, let's rest.

The brigade leader sighed, and Sekiya Shoji immediately went to convey the order. Everyone rested where they were and made a fire to make food.

The battle in Xuzhou entered a tense state. The Japanese army mobilized troops to support them. The Fourth Division received an order for reinforcements and they were to meet outside Xuzhou.

Unfortunately, they were walking too slowly. Today was the deadline, but they were still hundreds of miles away from Xuzhou.

From the looks of it, we definitely won’t be able to arrive today.

Has the last batch of goods been sold out?

While eating, Sekiya Shoji asked the people around him. He took goods from Hayakawa Hei twice. After each time the goods arrived, he distributed them to his fellow villagers to sell.

He works as a wholesaler, and his people work as secondary merchants or retailers.

The quality of the goods of the Fourth Division is guaranteed, and both the Chinese and Japanese like them very much. Their reputation is very high, and many people like to do business with them.

Almost sold out, Chief of Staff, when will the next batch arrive?

The subordinates asked hurriedly whether it was their chief of staff who was so capable that he was able to obtain so many supplies that were in short supply, so that their business was not delayed.

It's almost time. When the fight in Xuzhou is over, I'll go to Shanghai to order more goods.

Sekiya Shoji looked ahead and didn't know when the Xuzhou War would end, but no matter how it was fought, it had nothing to do with them. Their Fourth Division didn't like going to the battlefield. This was something everyone in the army knew.

There's no point in forcing them. If it weren't for the pressure from above, they wouldn't have sent anyone this time.

Two brigades came to support, and the Fourth Division sent out a lot of troops this time.

This time, order more stockings. That one sells easily and is the most profitable.

His men hurriedly said, and Sekiya Shengji smiled and nodded. They know what is easy to sell and what makes money, and they know more about guns than guns.

The gun is a job, the business is your own.

They walked a hundred miles for three days.

Eat, eat.

When the time came, Sekiya Shengji went to ask for instructions again. Soon the whole army stopped and prepared to cook. The soldiers chatted happily, and the officers discussed what specialties were available near Xuzhou and what they needed. Let’s see if they can Unable to find business opportunities.

Chief of Staff, the brigade commander wants you to come over immediately. There is an urgent military situation.

Before the meal was finished, his subordinates suddenly came to report. Sekiya Nobuharu put down his bowl regretfully. Today's food was good, but it was a pity that he didn't have time to eat it.

Keep it for me and give it to me later.

Sekiya Shoji wiped his mouth and ran to see the brigade commander. When he arrived, he found that several regiment captains and other important officers had already arrived.

Ten miles ahead, a large number of Chinese troops appeared.

The brigade commander immediately dropped a bombshell. Is there going to be a war before we even reach the battlefield?

Brigade commander, how many people are there?

A captain asked immediately, and everyone looked at him.

The number is quite large. It has not yet been determined. It is at least tens of thousands, or even more.

The brigade commander looked serious. He had a lot of people and a lot of fighting power, but he knew better than anyone what kind of fighting will these people had.

There are so many people on the other side, and if a war breaks out, they are likely to suffer heavy losses.

Commander of the brigade, our regiment has too many wounded soldiers. Just now, hundreds of people were unable to fight due to vomiting and diarrhea due to acclimatization.

The same goes for our team. The weather has changed too much recently and many people have caught cold.

As soon as the brigade commander finished speaking, several captains complained that they currently had no fighting capacity and could not start a war immediately.

Brigade commander, we have no orders to stop the enemy.

Sekiya Shoji whispered, and the brigade leader's eyes suddenly lit up. He was also from Osaka.

That's right, we have no orders. We stay where we are, defend ourselves, and wait for orders.

yes.

This time everyone shouted very loudly. After the meeting, those who were not full went back to continue eating, while those who were full put people on alert. Anyway, no matter where the Chinese were, they pretended not to see them.

On the other side, General Li also received a report from his subordinates.

There is a well-equipped Japanese army not far away from them, very close to them. He received the order from the old man to abandon Xuzhou and lead the troops to break out.

Now Xuzhou is an empty city, and everyone has been evacuated by him.

But the sudden appearance of this Japanese army made my heart feel chilly and my hands and feet were cold.

He is breaking out or retreating, and what he fears most is being entangled by the enemy.

Once entangled, when the Japanese troops from behind come up, they are likely to break out and become rout.

The lessons of the Shanghai War cannot be repeated again.

Which army is it and how many people are there?

General Li asked, while his men shook their heads: We haven't found out yet, but there are quite a few of them. It seems to be a complete brigade, and it seems that there is also an artillery regiment.

The brigade also has an artillery regiment. If these people block the attack, his army of hundreds of thousands will lose at least tens of thousands here.

If it turns into a rout, the consequences will be even more serious.

As a general who leads an army, what he fears most is a defeat. Once the army collapses, it will affect a large number of people, and their commanders will also lose control of the army.

Not now, but always.

Find out who they are and prepare for battle.

General Li gave the order, and his men ran out to deliver the order. The chief of staff came over, frowned and asked: What should we do, should we avoid them, or attack them forcefully?

If you can't hide, don't attack. Just retreat first, but keep your elites ready for battle.

With so many people, it is not easy to hide. After leaving Xuzhou and heading west, the road is flat and there is no way to hide.

The enemy was right around him, so he could only grit his teeth and retreat. However, he kept an eye on the movements of the Japanese army and asked the soldiers to report every five minutes. If anything happened, they could report at any time.

General, they have just finished eating and are cleaning up.

Have a meal?

General Li was confused and the other party did not move. That was a good thing. He ordered a retreat as soon as possible and continued to wait for news.

General, they moved, but they moved eastward, not forward.

Heading east?

General Li was overjoyed. This unit had not made any preparations for battle. The artillery was pulled out, but not a single shot was fired.

They must have discovered themselves. Could it be that they didn't dare to fight because they had so many people?

After thinking for a moment, General Li shook his head.

The Japanese have a strong will to fight, and they will never be afraid of fighting just because the number of enemies is large. On the contrary, they will attack with a roar.

In their hearts, the Japanese thought that one of them could defeat five Chinese soldiers, or even ten.

There are so many people on the other side, so they are definitely not timid.

They stopped again and didn't move.

General Li was a little confused as he continued to receive battle reports. At this time, he finally knew the identity of the other party.

General, we have found out that the other party is from the Fourth Division, newly incorporated into the Eleventh Army.

Fourth Division, Osaka Division.

General Li's eyes lit up, and he understood a little bit why the other party was like this. Among the direct descendants of Japan's ace, the Fourth Division was the unit least favored by the Army Department.

It's not about their fighting power, but their weak will to fight.

If it were really them, he might have a chance to escape this time. As long as they didn't attack, he wouldn't touch them at all.

Order the troops to evacuate immediately.

General Lee ordered that the Fourth Division remained unmoved until all of them had left.

Finally gone.

Sekiya Shengji patted his chest. They had found out that the opponent was not tens of thousands of people, but hundreds of thousands.

After a night of emergency evacuation, General Li was extremely lucky to finally escape.

He reported the matter urgently and at the same time led his people to continue to evacuate. His people had broken through and were mentally exhausted. If the people of the Osaka Division blocked it, the consequences would be disastrous.

Fortunately this didn't happen.

In Shanghai, Shimakura went to Ishihara Hiroshi for a drink, looking very depressed.

Ishihara-kun, you are right in everything you said. Although we won the battle in Xuzhou, our strategic goal was not achieved. The abominable Fourth Division actually ran away from the battle.

Shimakura said bitterly that the Fourth Division encountered the fruit army that broke through, but did not intercept it, which made the base camp furious.

But the Fourth Division had reasons. They were marching according to orders and did not receive combat orders.

No matter what you say or how you punish it, it has happened and there is no use regretting it.

It's good if we win. At least we occupied Xuzhou.

Ishihara Hiroshi smiled, and the Fourth Division let go of the Fruit Army just like in history.

It is not surprising that they would do this. The entire Fourth Division is from Osaka. It is impossible to expect them to carry forward the spirit of Bushido and defeat the enemy on the battlefield.

This time, the Fourth Division became completely famous.

It's different. If we fail to eliminate the Chinese army, it will be more difficult for us to fight in the future, and the subsequent attack on Wuhan will not be so smooth.

Shimakura is a pure soldier, he only cares about the results of the battle.

This time such a good opportunity was wasted, and many Japanese soldiers like him were itching to hate it.

But for the Fourth Division, there was nothing they could do. Some people even proposed to completely disband the Fourth Division and assign it to other divisions.

This statement was immediately opposed by many people.

Let’s not talk about how many people’s interests will be affected by the cancellation of the Fourth Division. The key is that with so many people, who is willing to accept it?

These people always say that saving their lives is important. If they are dispersed to other divisions, won't they bring out more troops who are unwilling to fight?

Those division commanders were not fools, and no one wanted anyone from the Fourth Division.

I believe in the empire, the final victory must belong to us.

Ishihara Hiroshi raised his wine glass. Shimakura was infected by him and raised his wine glass as well: Ishihara-kun is right, victory will definitely belong to us.

Ishihara-kun, Hoshino took the bait. He went to the Dispatch Army Headquarters yesterday in disguise. Takemoto's people discovered him.

After talking about the war, Shimakura took the initiative to talk about their actions.

You don't need to tell me these things. What I want is the results. You can just figure it out yourself. I believe in your abilities.

Chu Lingyun shook his head, and Shimakura was very moved. Ishihara-kun showed great trust in them and completely handed it over to them.

There is an old Chinese saying that a scholar will die for his bosom friend, and the same is true for the Japanese. They will definitely not disappoint Lord Ishihara this time.

Don't worry, in a few days, Hoshino will pay a heavy price for what he has done.

Shimakura stated that he did not say anything more about the operation, and that it was progressing smoothly. Mitsui was in charge of the overall situation, and Takemoto was very cooperative. He found out that the people who were in contact with An Yaozu were already being targeted by Hoshino. It won't be long before Hoshino is finished.

I'm waiting for your good news.

Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded. Xingye didn't know it was a trap and thought it was a great achievement. The more greedy he was, the worse his death would be.

At this time, Hoshino really had no idea.

The person who contacted An Yaozu is named Takagi Takahiro, with the rank of captain. He currently serves Lieutenant Colonel Shimakura Toshiaki of the Staff Department, and Shimakura Toshiaki has many opportunities to access important intelligence.

Hoshino came to see Li Zhiqun secretly and listened to his report.

It was indeed Big Fish. Why did An Yaozu, a suspected agent, contact Takagi Takahiro? And Takagi Takahiro had the opportunity to gain access to very important information.

If he can clear out the traitors who dispatched the military headquarters, this achievement will definitely give him the confidence to challenge Mitsui.

Team leader, we found out that Takagi Takahiro recently deposited two thousand yen in the bank. There is no record of previous deposits. The people at the bank said that he just deposited money at this bank.

Hoshino's men will come back to report and investigate Takagi Takahiro's financial situation. Li Zhiqun and others cannot be allowed to go, after all, they are Chinese.

This time Hoshino used Japanese people from the intelligence team who had taken refuge with him.

Sure enough, Takagi Takahiro had extra income.

Two thousand yen is not a small amount. With his military salary, it is impossible to save such a sum of money in a short time. Unfortunately, there are no records in the bank. If there are records, he can know his detailed financial situation.

We will also conduct a financial investigation on An Yaozu and find ways to obtain their relevant evidence. We will also check other banks to find evidence of Takagi Takahiro's crimes as soon as possible.

Hoshino ordered that he was currently investigating this case personally. After Li Zhiqun discovered that An Yaozu was in contact with Takagi Takahiro, he understood the importance of it.

The two people sent by Jiang Tengkong are currently looking for Li Zhiqun and others, and are constantly looking for people to ask questions.

The other Chinese agents didn't know where Li Zhiqun was, and it was useless for them to ask.

Mitsui currently does not know that he has found the dispatched army headquarters, but he must know that he is performing a secret mission. Mitsui cannot be given time to react. Hoshino will never allow what happened last time to happen again.

He wants to find out the truth as soon as possible, get evidence to arrest people, and make rice from raw rice.

yes.

The subordinates took the orders, and for two days in a row, there was constant good news.

Not all of Takagi Takahiro's funds were found, but he was found to have a deposit of US$3,000 in a foreign bank in the French Concession.

It is not easy to check these banks. Hoshino paid for such information with his own money.

Three thousand US dollars, tens of thousands of yen, Hoshino was even more certain that there must be something wrong with Takagi Takahiro.

In addition, during the investigation of An Yaozu, it was found that he had exchanged Dayang for two thousand yen on the black market. The origin of the two thousand yen matched up. It must have been Takagi Takahiro's income from selling information.

Hoshino was very excited, but he warned himself not to be impatient.

To catch thieves, he must obtain irrefutable evidence before he can arrest people from the headquarters, otherwise he will be very passive.

Team leader, An Yaozu has gone out, and Takagi Takahiro has also gone out.

The next day, the team member responsible for surveillance came back to report. Xing Yema became more energetic and immediately went to the scene in person.

The two of them are in the teahouse, probably trading information.

Li Zhiqun pointed to a teahouse and whispered, Hoshino's eyes kept rolling. If it was transaction information, it must have been Takagi Takahiro who provided information to An Yaozu.

Unfortunately, the tracking time was too short, their meeting location was not known in advance, and no eavesdropping devices were installed.

Get ready to take action. First arrest An Yaozu. Once you get the evidence, arrest Takagi Takahiro immediately. If there is no evidence, put him on trial immediately and ask him to explain everything before arresting him.

It is easy to catch An Yaozu, he is just a Chinese.

Even being a branch chief was nothing in Hoshino's eyes, but Takagi was different. He was an officer and at the headquarters. He couldn't arrest people without sufficient evidence.

However, he believed that as long as An Yaozu was caught, he would confess soon.

These Chinese bones are not that hard.

yes.

Li Zhiqun nodded excitedly. Catching talents is a reward. Otherwise, it has always been a process before. This time, he has found a big traitor in Japan, and even he can make great contributions.

The Detective Division has never had a director. Hoshino promised to give him the director, but he did not implement it.

This time the mission was completed, he was the director of the Detective Division.

An Yaozu is out.

Li Zhiqun noticed An Yao's ancestors leaving the teahouse and immediately reported to Xingye.

Be prepared to take action, we must capture them alive.

Without enough evidence, An Yaozu must not die. Li Zhiqun nodded. He was good at arresting people and there would be no problem.

He hurried out and this time he wanted to catch the person himself.

An Yaozu was walking when Yamaguchi Mitsuki suddenly found him not long ago and asked him to complete a secret mission.

Mitsukuma Yamaguchi is from the police security bureau. He is in charge of these police officers. Not to mention him, even the director of the general bureau must obey Yamaguchi's orders.

He didn't dare to disobey, and besides, this was his chance to get into Yamaguchi's lap.

He knew that someone would catch him, and what he had to do was to deny everything and deny the transaction information. He carried the tampered intelligence paper with him, and he knew that it wouldn't be long before the person who caught him would appear.

He may have to endure hardships, but he must persevere. Yamaguchi Mitsukuma will save him in time.

As he was walking, a person suddenly rushed out of the intersection next to him. Before An Yaozu could react, he was hugged by the person and fell to the ground. Someone rushed out from both sides and he was instantly subdued.

It came so quickly, and my skills are really good.

This was An Yaozu's instant thought. Li Zhiqun personally took action and successfully controlled An Yaozu. He immediately searched him and quickly found the note on him.

He opened it and took a look. It was in Japanese. He had recently learned a lot of Japanese by himself and could barely understand it.

After reading the contents of the note, he was ecstatic and immediately rushed to see Hoshino with the note.

Mr. Hoshino, look at this.

Li Zhiqun handed the note to Xingye. After Xingye opened it and read it, he was equally excited.

This turned out to be a piece of intelligence on the deployment of the dispatched troops. Such intelligence was very important and was also ironclad evidence that Takagi Takahiro had collaborated with the enemy.

Everyone, follow me and arrest people.

Takagi Takahiro hasn't returned to the headquarters yet, and he must be caught before he goes back.

If he enters the headquarters, Hoshino has no right to enter and arrest people by force. Mitsui's consent is required.

And once he reports, Mitsui will definitely take away the credit from him and prevent him from making meritorious deeds.

Who are you and what do you do?

Takagi was quickly captured and kept shouting in Japanese. Hoshino ignored them and took him back immediately.
