On Hujun Street, Omo Izakaya.
"Mr. Shibuya, he is very cooperative. I have carefully checked all the places in his home where things can be hidden. Except for the small arsenal in the storage room, I found nothing else." Front knelt down and sat down with Saburo Shibuya. In front of me, report.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Front, please!" Saburo Shibuya gestured to Anna, who was wearing a kimono, to pour a glass of sake for Front.
"Thank you." Front raised his glass and drank it in one sip, "Mr. Shibuya, I still like vodka."
Shibuya Saburo nodded slightly, Anna understood, stood up, brought over a bottle of vodka, and filled Front's glass.
Front picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and smiled happily: "Mr. Shibuya, when it comes to wine, our Russian wine is strong enough and tastes good enough. This is the wine that men should drink!"
"Mr. Front, although Japanese sake is not a strong drink, it is soft in the mouth and full of stamina. It is easier to get drunk if you drink too much. This is just like our Yamato warriors. We have enough endurance and strong stamina to win. In the end, it belongs to us." Shibuya Saburo didn't care about Front's rudeness, and said with a slight smile.
Front nodded: "Mr. Shibuya, why did you choose a Manchu to carry out this mission?"
"Because he is the most suitable."
"oh?"
"You have been with Anthony day and night for more than four months. How do you feel about him?" Shibuya Saburo asked.
"He is a very enthusiastic and talkative person, and he drinks very generously. We get along very happily."
"We have a total of seven people in this operation. Apart from you and General Maratov, only one person survived. This person is still receiving rehabilitation treatment. The four people are dead. Anthony is the guide of this operation. , he is also dead. I think you also know the reason why the operation failed. Their intelligence agency has complete control of our operation this time."
"Do you suspect that among the seven of us there is an undercover spy for the other party, and that he disclosed the information to the Soviet Union?"
"It's not a suspicion, it's a certainty. If the news hadn't been leaked, how could you have slipped into the ambush they set up so coincidentally?" Shibuya Saburo said, "You and General Maratov can't be spies, then the spies must be there. Among the remaining five people, two of these five were selected from the Asano troops, and the other three are affiliated with the Russian Patriot Union. Anthony is also a guide, and he lived there in his early years."
"I don't know much about this, but Anthony does know the local situation very well. He is very familiar with the customs there, and it is easy to get along with them." Front said, "So, do you doubt him?"
"Yes, after the operation failed, we have launched a secret investigation, but the progress has been limited because we have no effective clues at all, but another case we investigated is related to Anthony..." Shibuya Saburo explained.
"Since this Serkin is Anthony's assistant and his identity has been confirmed, why should he be killed? If we can obtain his confession, wouldn't it be possible to confirm Anthony's identity?" Front asked doubtfully.
"When we discovered this relationship between them, Serkin had already been executed, so we could only turn our target to Zhou Sen. During our investigation, we found that Anthony had a secret code lurking in the Far East. List, these people are the pawns they have carefully cultivated over the years for their restoration of the Russian Empire. Now that the empire needs to use these people for me, there must be someone who can control this force and be obedient." Shibuya Saburo explained.
"I understand, Wasim is the key person, and he is Antony's adopted son, and these chess pieces were all arranged by Antony. It is natural to trust him, and he is not a Russian and will not have the idea of restoring Russia. As long as you can give him what he wants, he will naturally work hard for you," Front said.
"Although it sounds harsh, this is the truth." Saburo Shibuya smiled slightly, raised his glass and touched Front.
"What do you need me to do?"
"Now, we need to find the list of lurkers left by Anthony. You already know this, as well as the contact information." Shibuya Saburo said.
"Usually, for a latent intelligence network that has been deployed for many years, there must be a person in charge of the overall communication. This person is the link between the previous and the following..."
Front saw a slight change in Shibuya Saburo's face, and immediately understood what was going on: "Mr. Shibuya, is this chief traffic officer the dead Serkin?"
Shibuya Saburo nodded: "Now it seems that it is very possible."
"That said, this latent list is most likely in the hands of Serkin. He is the chief traffic officer. Anthony left Ice City to perform a mission. Naturally, such a secret should be placed in his charge."
"But we searched everywhere we could and couldn't find it."
"Then since he is a spy lurking in the Soviet Union, if this list was in his hands, would he have handed it over long ago?"
"It's not impossible, but if he turns it in, how will he hand it in if Anthony comes back, unless there is only one possibility..." A thought suddenly came to Saburo Shibuya's mind.
"He and Anthony are in the same group!"
"No, this is unlikely. Over the years, through this intelligence network, Anthony has provided the empire with a lot of useful intelligence, and it is all of very high value. This intelligence network should be controlled by Anthony personally, even if it is shared by Serkin Serkin’s knowledge of part of the work is very limited. This list is crucial. Anthony was recommended to be selected into our action plan. Before the training, no one disclosed the content of the action to him, and your training is It was carried out under closed conditions in Beijing, and the whole process was carried out under our supervision, and the final plan was only informed by the target after they arrived in Turkey."
"Maybe the spies are not necessarily in the action team. This plan is known to everyone from the Kwantung Army intelligence agency to the Japanese military base camp. Although it is top secret, can we rule out the possibility that there is no leakage?" Front asked, "In your army, Our people have always been there.”
"Correction, they are not your people, they are spies of Red Soviet Russia. They are shameful traitors." Shibuya Saburo said with a dark face.
When Front heard this, his expression turned ugly. Are they not traitors?
"Okay, let's not say anything that hurts each other's feelings." Shibuya Saburo also realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly changed his words, "We have already reached a preliminary conclusion regarding the screening of Zhou Sen, that is , he doesn’t have much to do with Anthony. Although Anthony may have his own training plan for him, so far, according to our tracking, observation and monitoring of him, we have not found anything wrong with him. Of course, , after he learned that his adoptive father Anthony passed away, his mood did change and his character became more mature. This is understandable. He changed from a carefree young master to one who needs to carry everything in the future by himself. , the mind becomes mature, this is normal.”
"What about my mission?"
"Training him and monitoring him, Anthony trained so many excellent intelligence agents to lurk into the Far East, but he sent him to the police academy without teaching him any of his skills." Shibuya Saburo said.
"Maybe it's because he is a Manchurian."
"Well, cheers!"
…
"This pistol is for your self-defense. If anyone asks, just say I bought it for you on the black market." Zhou Sen put the Tokarev 1926 pistol in Bai Yulan's hand and said.
"What do I need this for? It's too heavy to carry on my body, and I'm worried about leaving it at home." Bai Yulan glanced at the pistol and said.
"In this world, having a weapon to defend yourself is better than having no weapon at all," Zhou Sen said.
Bai Yulan thought for a moment and finally nodded.
Zhou Sen didn't ask her if she knew how to use a gun. However, she was a woman who dared to break into a gangster's nest alone seven or eight years ago. If she didn't know how to use a gun, he wouldn't believe her even if she was shot to death.
"Okay, I'm leaving." Although Zhou Sen was just "catching fish" at work, he had to go. Staying at Ningxiang Pavilion was not a problem.
Furthermore, now that there is another Front, this guy is obviously a "traitor", and he has to learn secret agent skills from her, which really feels like a "bitter" thing.
Just learn, I’m worried that no one will teach me.
When he went to work at "Sen" in the morning, Anna was already here, half an hour earlier than him, and was already practicing his favorite darts.
One dart to the left and one to the right. The darts all hit the red heart of the target.
This woman does have two brushes.
"Come here and have some tea." Zhou Sen called.
"Well, here we come." Anna put away the darts, walked over, picked up the tea cup, and took a sip naturally, "How are you getting along with Front?"
"Not bad, he has a straightforward personality." Zhou Sen nodded subconsciously.
"If you can't find the roster, you can't proceed with the next mission. Do you understand?" Anna suddenly looked at Zhou Sen and said.
"Look what I'm doing. If I knew where the roster was, I would have handed it over a long time ago. If I hadn't been forced by you to do this and that, I would have been living a comfortable life!" Zhou Sen said.
"Do you think you can get away with it if we don't force you to do it?" Anna said, "The Soviet Union has obtained your body with clothes on. They may have found out his identity now, and you are also exposed to their sight. If you are guilty, they will definitely send agents to find you."
"They don't know what kind of latent list my father Anthony has?" Zhou Sen retorted.
"They will label you as a dangerous person and even get rid of you out of revenge." Anna reminded, "You still don't understand their methods. In order to eradicate dissidents, they kill without blinking an eye, and they always like to use the excuse of justice. You Better be careful.”
"Where's Front, why didn't he come?"
"He has something to do and can't come today. Whatever you want to do today, just do it. There are not many good days." Anna chuckled.
The phone on the desk suddenly rang.
"Hey, this is Sen Ji, Xiaorou. If you want to come over and see me, okay, I'll send someone to pick you up. Hey, okay, that's it." Zhou Sen hesitated slightly and agreed.
"Who is it?"
"My sister."
