Tian Qi is still an inconspicuous newcomer who just joined the Manila secret service.
But his status at this time is no longer the same.
He handed over a huge credit to Takamura Kenji, and also allowed Takamura Kenji to reach the sky in one step.
Komura Kenji's gratitude to him is naturally self-evident.
And then, a piece of news that caused quite a shock in the intelligence community came out:
The Allied ace spy and killer Kunta Atsunake was successfully killed in Manila!
This still caused quite a stir.
In Southeast Asia, Kuntian Atsunane is a relatively famous spy and a trump card in the hands of the Allied intelligence agencies.
But now, this trump card has fallen in Manila.
The most angry person was probably Lieutenant Colonel Bersons.
He was ordered to come to the Philippines to suppress local guerrillas and assassinate the leaders of the Free Philippines.
Kuntian Atsunake was his most important helper. Starting from his landing in the Philippines, he successively assassinated four important leaders and commanders of the Free Philippines and the guerrillas.
And this time he was sent to Manila for Manny's sake.
But he died.
Lieutenant Colonel Persons had anticipated the wrath of the head of Allied intelligence.
He wants to save this face, but at least for now, it is impossible.
On the Japanese side, Kenji Komura, who had made "outstanding contributions" in the assassination of Konta Atsushi and was subsequently appointed as the director of the Office of the Chief of the Secret Service in Manila.
Reach the sky in one step.
Every time he sees Tian Qi, Komura Kenji feels a little ashamed.
After all, he was the one who took the credit from him.
But Tian Qi didn't care at all, and just said to Komura Kenji: "Your Excellency, I can confirm that Manny is hiding in his family. Because of Jardin's special status, we cannot conduct a large-scale manhunt for him.
So, I thought of a way and I need your cooperation. "
"Of course, Hahara-kun." Komura Kenji said without hesitation: "Tell me what you think."
Tian Qi expressed his suggestion.
Komura Kenji listened very carefully. Gradually, a smile appeared on his face: "Hahara-kun, I have to say that you are really suitable for this business. By doing this, you can definitely force Manny out."
"Then, it's time for me to play." Tian Qi said with a smile: "From that moment on, I will take on the responsibility of protecting Manny."
The two looked at each other, and then laughed at the same time.
Takamura Kenji really admires this person. Not only does he not seek credit, but he is also very smart.
Not long after he became the director of this office, he was in great need of talents like Hahara Ikko!
…
Gunshots rang out again on the streets of Manila.
I have long been accustomed to it.
Compared with the bombing, the sound of gunfire is nothing.
Only this time, it seems slightly different.
A man runs as fast as he can, while turning back and shooting.
Then, he ran to the Whiddup family, jumped up to the top of the wall which was not high.
…
"Bang bang bang"!
The fierce knocking on the door made Jardim a little frightened.
After a while, I saw a servant coming in with a few men.
"Mr. Jardine."
The other party was quite polite: "I am Kenji Komura from the Manila secret service."
Why is it from the secret service again?
Jardine asked carefully: "Your Excellency Gao Cun, what's the matter?"
"We found a rioter." Komura Kenji explained: "He injured one of our people. During the pursuit, we found that he ran to your house."
"What?"
Jardine was startled.
Yes, we did hear gunshots just now.
And it's nearby.
Came to your own home?
"This rioter is very dangerous." Komura Kenji emphasized his tone: "He carries weapons with him and is even suspected of having explosives. For the safety of you and your house, I ask for your permission to search this place."
search?
Jardine hesitated.
Takamura Kenji then continued: "Don't worry, we will not harm any interests here. Of course, if you don't agree, I will go back and make a request to Commander Honma, but I will leave two people here, Protect and no one will be harmed.”
Jardine had a headache.
Once the matter is brought to Masaharu Honma, it will become more troublesome, and things will even get out of control.
He had to bite the bullet and said: "Okay, Your Excellency, I agree to your search here. But I have a request."
"Please say."
"I want women and children's rooms to be inspected by us ourselves, it has to be, I'm worried they will be frightened."
"Okay, I fully agree with your request, sir."
…
The rioter was actually caught at Jardine's house.
Everyone, including the servants, was frightened when they saw the rioters being tied up.
terrible.
just in case?
Jardine could hardly imagine it.
"Thank you very much for your assistance, sir." Kenji Komura said politely: "I will report it to my superiors and commend you."
"Ah, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Jardin was a little upset.
…
"The Japanese are gone?"
"Let's go." Jardin said with a scared look on his face: "No one expected such a thing to happen. I was worried that the Japanese would search here."
Sitting in front of him was his son, Manny, the number two man in the Free Philippines.
After returning to Manila from diving, Manny immediately got in touch with his father and returned home quietly.
During this period, in order to avoid being noticed, he had been living in his mother's room.
Even when eating, his mother would personally bring it to him.
"I always feel that something is going to happen." Jardin said worriedly: "First it was Shibu Taniguchi, and then what happened just now. The Japanese may have suspected this."
"It's not doubt, but certainty." Manny smiled bitterly: "They are not fools. They know that once I return to Manila, I will definitely come here. If this time is just a coincidence, then the time Shibu Taniguchi came, it must be Probing.”
"Then what should we do?" Manny's mother panicked: "Nothing can happen to you, nothing will happen to you."
"We can't stay here for long." Manny thought for a while: "If we follow the rules, the Americans will come to bomb tomorrow, and Manila will be in turmoil. I will take advantage of this moment to leave home."
This is also the best and only option.
Jardim immediately said: "I still have a house in the south of the city. Very few people know about it. You can hide there temporarily. If there is anything else going on with the Japanese, I will notify you in time."
"I have made you suffer, father and mother." Manny said with a sad tone: "I have caused you trouble."
"I don't know when these days will end." Jardine sighed and said, "When will the war end?"
