After Yaguchi returned to the East Asia Hotel, he waited all night but did not see his men.
Early the next morning, Yaguchi went to the Shenpu branch of the Political and Security Bureau.
"Mr. Yaguchi, what brought you here? No wonder there were magpies chirping on the branches in the morning. It turns out there are distinguished guests coming to the door."
After Ma Tian saw Yaguchi, he immediately put on a smiling face and said with a smile on his face.
Yaguchi asked: "Ma-san, nothing happened in your branch, right?"
Ma Tian said "surprised": "No, has something big happened to Shenpu? I haven't received the news yet."
Yaguchi asked: "Are everyone from your branch here?"
Ma Tian said: "Except for a few people who are on a business trip, everyone is here. By the way, there are a few people who are asking for leave today."
Yaguchi asked casually: "Oh, which ones are on a business trip? Which ones are on leave?"
Ma Tian said confidently: "Mr. Yaguchi is going to make a sudden inspection. It doesn't matter. I can check here at any time. No one dares to be lazy."
Ma Tian quickly took out the list. After taking a look at it, Yaguchi didn't see Gao Yongjian's name. He immediately felt confident.
Since Gao Yongjian is still directly under the branch, it means that last night's operation failed.
But what happened to that car?
"Since Mr. Yaguchi is here, please give a few words to the brothers. Everyone will be greatly encouraged."
"Okay, you gather the people together and I'll say a few words."
Yaguchi was worried that he could not confirm that Gao Yongjian was still there, so Ma Tian presented him with such a good opportunity.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to speak to the branch directly under him, Yaguchi met Gao Yongjian.
Yaguchi even took the opportunity to say a few words to Gao Yongjian: "What position does Mr. Gao hold in the branch?"
Gao Yongjian said humbly: "I am the deputy section chief of the Operations Department."
"Has there been a lot of action in the Operations Department recently?"
Gao Yongjian said: "Shenpu's underground resistance has basically been destroyed. The main task of the Operations Department is prevention, not action. There are more security incidents now, such as car robbers, money robbers, and women and children abducting. Agent activity has dropped to its lowest levels in recent years."
After Yaguchi left, he quickly reported his findings to Qingshui.
He couldn't figure it out, where were his men? It was obvious that they had already taken action. He also saw the car and followed it for a while before separating at the predetermined location.
But once they were separated, they were never seen again.
Qing Shui said firmly: "Ma Tian must know about this!"
Yaguchi asked: "How about a showdown with Ma Tian?"
Qing Shui shook his head: "No, after all, there is no evidence."
Yaguchi asked: "What should we do next?"
"We can only wait."
Qingshui's judgment was indeed correct. Not long after Yaguchi returned to the East Asia Hotel, he waited for the opportunity and his men came back.
However, the only ones who came back were the driver and the secret agent in the car.
Yaguchi looked at their embarrassed looks and cursed angrily: "Where are your clothes?"
The driver and the agent not only had no clothes on, but also no shoes. They ran back barefoot and only had their underwear on them. It was really embarrassing for them to be sent to grandma's house.
"Robbed."
"Being robbed? You went to kidnap someone, but they were robbed despite not being able to kidnap them? Are the guns in your hands just decorations? Don't you need to shoot?"
Shenpu is now dominated by the Japanese, and they would be robbed. If this were told, people would laugh out loud.
"They also had guns and there were many people. They caught us off guard. It was not easy to take out a gun in the car. As soon as we were about to take out a gun, they took it away."
The agent sitting in the back row said with a frustrated look.
At first he thought the person who got into the car was one of his own, but when the other party pulled out a gunman, he realized something was wrong. His own people were kidnapping Gao Yongjian, not so fast.
Yaguchi said: "Tell me the situation in detail."
After understanding the situation, Yaguchi called Qingshui in Nanjing again to inform him of the matter.
Yaguchi said: "Chief Shimizu, I am so ashamed."
Qing Shui trusted him very much, so she gave him this task.
But what about him? Not only was it not completed well, it also made such a big fool of itself.
If I had known this, I should have gone to the scene in person.
Qing Shui asked: "Where are the two operatives?"
If you say this, no one will believe it, right?
He obviously went to kidnap someone, but he ended up being kidnapped.
If they were kidnapped by people from the Political Security Bureau, it would be excusable, but the people who kidnapped them were just a group of low-class bandits. If this spread, he would be the second class of the China Expeditionary Army Headquarters in the future. It’s so long that I can’t even show it on my face.
"They haven't come back yet."
Qingshui suddenly said: "Maybe they were caught by the Political Security Bureau."
"I didn't expect that."
It is really possible that when the operators were about to take action against Gao Yongjian, robbers suddenly tried to attack them. Gao Yongjian would naturally not be kidnapped again.
Qingshui said: "Go to the Political Security Bureau again and directly inquire about all the cases that happened last night."
Yaguchi asked: "Will the action against Ko Yongjian continue?"
"Pause it and wait until the matter is clarified."
How dare Qing Shui act rashly? Although he suspected that this robbery might not be true, it was indeed possible.
Except for Qingshui and Yaguchi, no third person knew about the kidnapping of Gao Yongjian.
Even the two operators only saw Gao Yongjian's photo beforehand.
Yaguchi suggested: "Chief Shimizu, has Duan Shixiang arrived? Maybe if he comes to Shenpu again, he can find out what happened yesterday."
Qing Shui suddenly said: "Duan Shixiang hasn't come to see me yet. Could it be that something happened to Duan Shixiang?"
He doubts everything now. If something happens to Duan Shixiang, it means that what happened yesterday was not accidental.
A few days later, Qingshui suddenly received a telegram from Kato Hajime from Yamashiro. One of his intelligence teams had an accident and was taken away by military commanders at home.
The military commander has absolute power in the mountain city. No matter what happens, nothing can be hidden from the eyes and ears of the military commander.
When Qingshui was waiting impatiently, Oki Yuri suddenly found Qingshui and told him an amazing news: "A guest from Shenpu came to the Military Command Headquarters. It is said that he has made great achievements. Dai Li entertained him personally. In addition to rewarding him with two In addition to 100,000 yuan, it seems that a low-key but grand ceremony was held for him."
When Qing Shui heard this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he immediately realized that something was broken.
Dai Li from the Military Command Bureau actually entertained them personally, which was very unusual.
Another day later, Omu Yuri once again received information from He Quan. The guest from Shenpu was none other than Duan Shixiang.
However, Duan Shixiang now uses a pseudonym.
What is Ma Tian’s identity? Is there any reason not to know?
Qingshui said coldly: "Let Hajime Kato confirm it immediately."
Shimizu didn't believe Hajime Kato's information, but Yuri Ohgi's information must be taken seriously.
