Chapter 222 Another bad news

In the yard, the young man turned around and walked into the house.

Connected to the living room is a slightly larger room, where five or six men are wiping their weapons and equipment.

These people are very strong and strong, with sharp eyes. At first glance, they look like practitioners.

After seeing the young man arriving, they all put down their weapons, stood up, and looked towards him with a very respectful attitude.

"Gentlemen, the intelligence work in Lincheng has collapsed to a certain extent. Just last night, the Lincheng Military Intelligence Station took a sudden action and attacked Miura Kazuichi's investigation team. Except Miura Kazuichi himself, the rest

The team members died, and those who were caught were caught."

The news was known early on, but not everyone was reached.

Therefore, everyone was extremely shocked after hearing this. After a brief period of astonishment, they all lowered their heads, as if in silence for the deceased.

"Just before this, in the battle of intelligence battlefield, we had an absolute advantage. The military intelligence agency in Lincheng had no way to deal with us. But now, for some unknown reason, these Chinese agents seem to have suddenly enlightened.

.”

"Hatred is the best weapon. Only it can give us infinite power. Let the flame of revenge burn in our chests. Before long, we will be like poisonous snakes hiding in the dark, giving the enemy the most deadly

A blow!"

The young man was very eloquent. His voice was very low, but it could be heard clearly by everyone in the room.

Everyone is infected by his emotions.

His eyes fell on the face of one of the agents: "How is the chef's matter being implemented?"

"We have found his address. He also has a wife and two underage children at home. We are also familiar with the surrounding environment and can take action at any time."

The young man nodded slightly, seeming quite satisfied with his men's preparations.

He turned to look at the other agent: "Watanabe-kun, how are you doing there?"

The agent named Watanabe quickly replied: "The largest general hospital from the target's residence is Guangji Hospital. We have made sufficient plans."

The young man coughed slightly and said: "Very good, this operation is very important, and there must be no mistakes. We must avenge the 'Qingzhou' team and the imperial warriors who were shattered in the fierce battle last night!"

The last sentence was growled.

The eyes of the Japanese agents showed an extremely excited and fierce light. They did not dare to cheer loudly. They could only nod their heads in unison and shout in a low voice: "Hai, avenge the imperial warriors!"

After the final mobilization, the man explained a few words and left the yard.

The remaining Japanese agents began to organize their weapons and equipment, tidy up their rooms, and prepare to leave.

At noon.

Lincheng Kuiyuan Restaurant is a noodle restaurant that is very familiar to the locals.

It is said that it was founded during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. Although the boss changed several times, its main business has remained the same, which is to cook the noodles well, cook the essence, and cook them specially.

The noodles here are called "sitting noodles", which are cooked but not burnt, tough and smooth, and taste like "bones and bones". There are more than a hundred varieties of noodles.

Because of its old name, great reputation, delicious food and affordable prices, people come to eat here in an endless stream.

At 1:45 noon, there were still people queuing up in the lobby on the first floor waiting for seats.

"Sir, please go to the counter to take a number and queue up." A waiter said to the man who had just walked in.

The man was wearing a gray short shirt, with a pointed chin, and a pair of tired eyes. He yawned and said, "We have reserved a private room upstairs at Xile Hall!"

Because the hotel's business was so good, private rooms had to be reserved one day in advance. There was a telephone in the hotel, and many guests would make reservations over the phone. The clerk had a good memory and immediately said: "Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Cao. Please follow me to the second room."

building."

Cao Hua went upstairs past the waiter and came to the private room. Although the area was not large, the decoration was quiet and elegant, giving it a unique flavor.

After the waiter served tea and exited, Cao Hua's eyes immediately regained clarity. He immediately stood up, opened the door and stuck his head out to take a look, then closed the door gently, walked to the window and took a look at the situation downstairs.

, finally went to the walls on both sides of the private room and listened for a while, making sure that the sound insulation here was not a big problem, then returned to his seat and took a sip of tea.

Not long after, the waiter started to serve the dishes. Cao Hua ordered a total of three cold dishes, four hot dishes, and the signature noodles here - Pian'er Sichuan and fried eel noodles with shrimp.

It is said that the ingredients of Pian'erchuan are inspired by the sentence written by Su Dongpo, "No meat makes people thin, and no bamboo shoots makes people vulgar".

After another five minutes, there were three long and two short knocks on the door.

Cao Hua raised his eyebrows slightly and whispered: "Please come in!"

The door opened, and a young man wearing a shirt and trousers walked in.

Cao Hua nodded slightly and asked the young man to sit opposite him. The young man asked in a low voice in Japanese: "Miyasaka-kun, why did you choose this place to meet? Is there anything urgent? Is it safe here?"

"Don't worry, I have checked this private room. There is nothing wrong with it. The walls are also very thick. If you whisper here, you won't be heard by the neighbors." Miyasaka Shumasa, whose pseudonym is Cao Hua, answered the other party's last question first.

, "I reserved this private room yesterday. I originally invited some business partners, but I learned early this morning that they had other important matters and could not keep the appointment."

Seeing that Miyasaka Shumasa spoke slowly but had a solemn look on his face, the young man couldn't help but asked again in confusion: "Did something happen?"

"Yes. The person you asked me to investigate found out. On the night you left Lincheng, people from the Lincheng Station of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department suddenly arrested an apartment. During the arrest, an

The young man exchanged fire with Chinese agents and detonated a grenade to commit suicide. After our multi-party investigation, we have confirmed that this person is the Kawamoto-kun you are looking for!"

Although this is sad news, Miyasaka's face remained expressionless when he was describing it, as if he had nothing to do with it.

"Nani?" The young man's real name is Masao Inaba. This news was no less than a shock to him, and he almost lost control of his emotions.

Miyasaka Shuzheng tapped the table gently to remind him: "Inaba-kun, you are a professional agent and you should know how to control your emotions."

Inaba Masao took a deep breath, his back tensed up, as if he wanted to turn the sadness and self-blame in his heart into invisible arrows, and stretched himself into a strong bow that was fully stretched, and stretched his heart

Break into pieces.

"Inaba-kun, don't be sad. Kawamoto-kun did what he should do. He is our pride and the pride of the Yamato nation!" At this time, Miyasaka Kimasa's tone was slightly sad.

"Miyasaka-kun, how did the Chinese agents at Lincheng Station discover Kawamoto-kun?" Inaba Masao's tone became much calmer, but his face still showed a kind of mourning sadness.

"The specific situation is still unknown. It is said that on the afternoon of the incident, the Lincheng Military Intelligence Station began a large-scale search of clinics, car dealerships and other places. As for Kawamoto-kun's exposure, was it specifically because of the merger of the clinic and the car dealership?

uncertain."

Inaba Masao paused heavily: "I'm sorry, Miyasaka-kun, Kawamoto-kun's broken jade was all caused by my carelessness. I shouldn't have contacted him suddenly, let alone let him participate in my action rashly."

Miyasaka Shuzheng waved his hand: "Your decision is indeed a bit hasty. Kawamoto-kun has always been dormant. His identity is well hidden and he could have played a greater role. However, Section Chief Matsui once asked,

You can ask for support at certain times. Of course you are to blame for Kawamoto-kun’s broken jade, but there is another reason, and that is that we ignored our opponents!"

Inaba Masao deeply believed: "What Miyasaka-kun said is absolutely true. In the field of intelligence, we were too far ahead of the Chinese. Many agents of the empire, like me, have developed a mentality of pride and complacency. In Chinese terms,

This is called 'sleeping on one's merits'. And our opponents are always learning and making progress, especially the Military Intelligence Agency, which is becoming increasingly powerful and posing an increasing threat to us."

Inaba Masao's words are not unreasonable. In the initial intelligence work, Japan did crush China.

As early as 1901, Japan opened the Dongya Doubun Academy in Shanghai, specializing in the study of "Chinese Studies", which was actually training spies.

There is a very important lesson in school - "The Grand Journey".

Each class of students spends several months to half a year conducting a field investigation called the "Grand Tour" in China.

Since its establishment more than 30 years ago, more than 3,000 students have participated in the survey, and there have been more than 500 survey routes, covering all provinces and regions in China except snow areas.

The scope of investigation covers many fields such as customs, folklore, geography, products, mineral resources, industry and commerce, society, and politics.

Some survey classes are very professional and conduct detailed investigations on certain cash crops, specific social phenomena, and certain types of economic activities.

For example, there is a small village called Tianxinpu deep in the mountains of Leiyang, Hunan, China. It is only connected to the outside by a narrow path. To buy fish and meat groceries, you have to walk more than ten miles of mountain road, but there is a kind of high-quality anthracite coal underground in the village, which is odorless and odorless when burned.

The smoke burns out leaving only a little white ash.

Due to inconvenient transportation and lack of information, few outsiders know about it, and it cannot be found even on the most detailed map of China.

But such an unknown small village actually appeared in the investigation report of Tongwen Academy. The report recorded in detail that there was an anthracite coal mine on a mountain in Tianxinpu, Leiyang, Hunan.

Miyasaka Shumasa nodded and said: "Yes, this is indeed something we should reflect on deeply."

Kawamoto Sosuke is dormant in Lincheng, and except for Matsui Naoki at the headquarters, only he knows about it.

In order to recover the stolen information from the Shanghai headquarters, Naoki Matsui made a special authorization and approved Masao Inaba to use Kawamoto Sosuke in an emergency and contact Miyasaka Kimasa, which can be said to be double insurance.

However, at that time, only Miyasaka Jumasa had the news of Inaba Masao's arrival in Lincheng.

Furthermore, Naoki Matsui specifically stated that Miyasaka Kimasa's downline agents were not allowed to know about it, let alone Masao Inaba have any contact with them.

This was done not only to protect the spy organization in Lincheng, but also for Inaba Masao's safety.

But even so, something happened eventually.

Inaba Masao remained silent. This was supposed to be a discussion meeting to launch operations against Chinese agents, but with the death of Kawamoto Sosuke, the atmosphere became extremely heavy.

He suppressed the grief in his heart and said, "Miyasaka-kun, please tell me what happened at that time. I want to know where the mistake lies."

"Well, you only need to say what is within the scope of my knowledge." He added.

In recent years, Miyasaka Shumasa has been painstakingly running an intelligence team code-named "Langzhong" and developed several subordinates. While he has made great achievements, he is also deeply worried.

The Chinese people are paying more and more attention to intelligence work, especially after the establishment of the military intelligence agency, a secret service agency, the intelligence team has to be very careful in carrying out its work.
