Moreover, this spring, Seiichi is also planning to have Yuta Miyashita take charge of this arrest operation.
However, Ryosuke Hosokawa, who smelled the scent of oil, went directly to Iwaharu Seiichi and asked him to be responsible for the arrest.
Now Chun Shengyi didn't want to offend this confidant too much, and considering that it might be safer to leave the arrest operation to the action team, he used the excuse of understanding the situation in North China after the Sino-Japanese armistice to transfer the palace to the palace. Xia Youtai was sent to Tianjin on official business, leaving Hosokawa Ryosuke in charge of the entire operation.
Hosokawa Ryosuke is not without merit. Not only is he a master tactician, but he also has a group of capable agents transferred from the Northeast. This is one of the reasons why Seiichi values him this spring.
The arrest operation also went very smoothly. Gao Changfu, who had long been targeted by Japan's Special Hi-Tech, had no idea that his secret stronghold in the concession had been exposed. Just when he was holding an action team meeting, dozens of Japanese agents broke into the door, and a brief gun battle broke out between the two sides.
As a result, in addition to several people who were killed, a total of seven people were captured by the swarming Japanese agents and evacuated safely before the concession patrol arrived.
The entire operation was a success, and even Jin Chun Shengyi believed that no one could do it better than Hosokawa Ryosuke.
But the problem lies in the interrogation.
Even Haru Shengyi never expected that Hosokawa Ryosuke would be so brainless and perverted to such an extent. Except for two people who were seriously injured during the shootout and were sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, three of the remaining five people were killed on the spot by Ryosuke Hosokawa during torture.
When Harumori got the news and rushed to the interrogation room, he saw Ryosuke Hosokawa proudly handing over the confessions of the remaining two captured agents who were frightened by the bloody and cruel scene in front of them. .
Although three were killed, the two who were frightened and surrendered happened to be the two highest-ranking people among the captured personnel. One was Gao Changfu, the deputy leader of the action team, and the other was Liang Zhiping, the captain of the action team.
Moreover, the two men have truthfully confessed, and they basically agreed with each other after separate interrogations. This presented a better opportunity to use two defectors to trap the higher-ranking operations team leader.
With this kind of result, even if I am full of anger this spring, I will not be able to express it.
However, in the subsequent entrapment operation, it was Liang Zhiping, the surrendered person whom Ryosuke Hosokawa thought had no problem, who had a problem.
Just 3 minutes before the agreed meeting time, Liang Zhiping, who had always been timid and meek, suddenly shouted loudly and rushed towards the Japanese agents who were monitoring him.
The Japanese agent was caught off guard, and Liang Zhiping snatched the pistol away in an instant. Only then did these Japanese agents realize that Liang Zhiping was actually quite skilled.
But it's normal to think about it. How can a person who can be the leader of an action team have poor tactical action abilities?
And what frightened these Japanese agents the most was that after Liang Zhiping seized the pistol, he pointed the gun not at the Japanese, but at his commander Gao Changfu.
Even the reaction of these Japanese agents was not slow. Just after Liang Zhiping fired the first shot, bullets fired from several guns around him smashed his body into a sieve.
Liang Zhiping took aim hastily, and the shot he fired only hit Gao Changfu's arm, but did not kill the traitor.
As for the target of the trap, of course he had already run away after hearing the news.
This time, the entrapment operation planned by Ryosuke Hosokawa could only fail. Moreover, when they evacuated from the concession, the two agents in charge of the rear were blocked by the concession patrol and had to surrender.
Of course, agents captured by concession patrols can be redeemed with money through diplomatic channels, which is why Japanese agents are willing to surrender.
But the failure of this operation meant that Gao Changfu was exposed, and his use value would be low in the future.
Just because Hosokawa Ryosuke's performance was too rough, this spring Seiichi transferred Otomo Ichiro back from Emergency Hangzhou, hoping to listen to the opinions of this veteran spy who was also experienced and see what other remedial measures there were.
Otomo Ichiro is a veteran spy sent to China by the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs. As early as ten years ago, he lurked in Shanghai in the name of doing business and opening a company. He repeatedly spied on important intelligence about China and absorbed it through bribery and coercion. Some pro-Japanese Chinese organized a huge intelligence network.
After the establishment of the Shanghai Special High School, he was appointed as the leader of the intelligence team by Iwaharu Seiichi, who also came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and was regarded as his right-hand man and relied heavily on him.
But after the arrival of Ryosuke Hosokawa, he was very fond of success and had a violent personality. He would frequently fight against his opponents, which made Otomo Ichiro very uncomfortable, and the two had a grudge.
Later, after one of Otomo Ichiro's confidants bumped into Hosokawa Ryosuke and was humiliated and scolded by him, the two almost had a conflict.
And Hosokawa Ryosuke had the identity of Dohi Madoka's confidant behind him, and this spring Seiichi was not easy to criticize, which made Otomo Ichiro angry, invited himself to Hangzhou to establish an intelligence network, and left the Shanghai Special High School Headquarters.
However, due to the failure of this operation, Ikaharu Shengyi knew that he could no longer condone the brave and foolhardy Ryosuke Hosokawa, and that someone needed to check and balance this person.
Otomo Ichiro, a monkey-like person, naturally knew the purpose of Sumiichi calling him to the meeting this spring.
He glanced at Ryosuke Hosokawa with disdain and said thoughtfully: "Although the entrapment plan failed, there is still an opportunity to further attack the Secret Service."
Jin Chunsheng's eyes lit up when he heard this. He knew Otomo Ichiro very well and knew that if this person could say this, he must not be without purpose.
Miyashita Yuta urged: "Otomo-kun, please speak."
Even Ryosuke Hosokawa rolled his eyes and raised his ears.
But he was thinking in his heart that after Otomo Ichiro told him the plan, if it was feasible, he would use it for his own purposes, control the command power in his hands, and never let Otomo Ichiro, who looked down upon him, get his hands on it.
Otomo Ichiro said seriously: "Iwaharu-kun, before I tell you my plan, I have a small request."
"Oh? Please speak."
Otomo Ichiro glanced at Hosokawa Ryosuke and said: "If this plan is feasible, I request that I take full charge of this operation."
Ryosuke Hosokawa became anxious when he heard this. He stared at Otomo Ichiro with his small eyes and said angrily: "You..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ima Harumori raised his hand to stop him. A sharp light suddenly appeared in his eyes, which shocked Ryosuke Hosokawa and forced him to swallow the harsh words that had reached his throat. Went back.
Then, Ikasumi's expression softened and he said to Otomo Ichiro: "Otomo-kun, yes, if the plan is feasible, I agree that you will preside over the implementation of the plan."
