Chapter 366 Atoning for one’s sins

In a secluded private house, Yushi Yanagida carefully reported to Masao Inaba.

It turned out that when he was monitoring and following Zhang Xinhua, he happened to discover Fujita Yasuyasu and Hirao Akira.

Yanagida Yushi was also an old rival at Lincheng Station, and he smelled the danger earlier than his two colleagues from Nanjing.

He originally wanted to take both of them out, but later he only found Akira Hirao. He did not reveal his true identity and only told him in Japanese that if he wanted to survive, he should follow him.

Hirao Akira, who was at the end of his rope, had no choice but to listen to him.

Compared with Hirao Akira, Yanagita Yushi is much more familiar with the terrain of Lincheng, especially after the accident in Tomishima, he spent all his free time studying the terrain of the urban area.

After knocking out a lone policeman, Yanagita Yushi performed a trick and escaped from the closed area with Hirao Akira.

After instructing Hirao Akira to quickly notify his companions of the transfer, Yanagita Yushi immediately reported to the team leader Inaba Masao.

Inaba Masao's expression was gloomy, and he said slowly: "Yagita-kun, it is very dangerous for you to do this, and you will be easily exposed. You have not forgotten what kind of opponent we are facing, right?"

"I know that this is indeed dangerous, but those two people are not familiar with the terrain at all. If they don't help, they will probably fall into the hands of the Chinese. Team leader, the situation of the other person is worrying!"

"You should know the discipline of intelligence work. We cannot have any contact with people from Nanjing."

"I know I know it, but..."

"Nothing!" Inaba Masao's tone became stern, "This will put both us and Mr. Ishihara in danger, don't you know?"

"It's all the fault of my humble position!"

"Not only that, you are likely to be discovered by the Chinese when you save people. Our next actions against Zhang Xinhua will probably become more difficult."

Hearing what Inaba Masao said, Yanagida Yushi also felt regretful. He was indeed a little impulsive and did not think carefully enough before saving people.

After this incident, both Wang Xiang and Zhang Xinhua will strengthen their security forces. It will not be easy to get as close as before.

How should I explain to Mr. Ishihara if something like this happened?

Seeing Yanagida Yushi with a slumped expression, Inaba Masao couldn't bear it and said in a gentle tone: "Sir, I will explain it, but you have to think more about the task. You can be regarded as showing off.

, don’t take any action tomorrow.”

"Team leader, I..."

Inaba Masao interrupted him: "I will take over your surveillance of Zhang Xinhua first."

Yanagita Yuzhi felt deeply remorseful: "Team leader, maybe Zhang Xinhua has seen you too! This is really too risky."

"I don't have to worry about so much now, I will put on makeup."

The matter has come to this, and there is no better way.

Suddenly, Yushi Yanagita remembered something and said, "Team leader, one of our companions was exposed in a very strange way."

"Oh, what a strange method?"

"That's it..."

It turned out that when Hirao Akira was questioned in front of the tea stall, Yanagita Yushi happened to be watching not far away.

Although I didn't fully hear the conversation between him and Liu Haiyang, I roughly guessed that Liu Haiyang didn't think there was something wrong with Hirao Akira the first time. It all seemed more like a coincidence.

"You mean, someone deliberately designed the three people in the restaurant to come out and interrogate the people you rescued at the tea stall?"

"I'm afraid that's what it looks like!"

"That is to say, they have been exposed a long time ago, and the other party just doesn't want to take action directly!" Inaba Masao gave the answer.

Yanagita Yuzhi said suspiciously: "But what is the purpose of doing this? Since the target has been discovered a long time ago, why not just arrest the person?"

"What are the identities of those three people?"

Yanagita Yuzhi shook his head: "I don't dare to ask. But I see that the people in the restaurant are very respectful to them, and these three people have a bad character, and their background is not small!"

Inaba Masao judged: "If it's not from Lincheng Station, it might be the military police, or people from the investigation room, or it might be from a local gang. By the way, when did our people come across the interrogation?

Think about it, what happened before this?"

Yanagida Yushi frowned and thought.

Inaba Masao reminded: "For example, are there any suspicious people around the white shirt in front of the tea stall?"

"this……"

"Don't worry, think about it carefully!"

After a while, Yanagita Yushi finally said: "I remembered that before the white shirt entered the tea stall, a young man just left the tea stall, and the two of them almost passed each other."

"Is there anything special about this person?"

"There is nothing special about him, except that his eyes are very sharp. Oh, by the way, he seemed to have seen the white shirt walking towards the tea stall, and then he got up and left."

"Is there any necessary connection between this?"

"Team leader, do you think this is okay? Assume that this person knows Bai Shirt and knows his purpose of coming to the restaurant. In order to avoid the other party becoming suspicious, he chose to leave."

"Where did he go after that?"

"I don't know about this! I have been keeping an eye on the restaurant since then. Not long after, three people walked out of the restaurant and started checking the white shirts."

"What does that young man look like?"

"Very young and pretty good looking..."

It stands to reason that Yanagita Yushi has received professional agent training and has a strong ability to remember people's facial features in a short period of time. However, he did not pay more attention to Fang Xiang at that time, so the description of his current appearance is not

Very accurate.

Inaba Masao was silent for a long time, and Yanagida Yushi asked rather strangely: "Team leader, is there something wrong?"

Inaba Masao slowly said: "Why do I feel like I have seen the person you are talking about somewhere?"

"Oh, there is such a thing!" Yanagita Yuzhi was also surprised.

"It's just that I can't remember who it is at the moment. Let's do this. You stay here first and don't go out. I'll go outside to find out the news. Such a large-scale manhunt will soon spread on the streets. It must be carried out.

Know exactly what the Chinese agents got!”

In the evening, a man dressed as a vendor appeared on the street. It was Akira Hirao in disguise.

After he was rescued by Yanagita Yushi, he immediately went to the gathering point to notify the investigation team of the transfer.

Considering that this investigation mission is not just as simple as obtaining intelligence, but may also involve operational tasks, the Japan Special High School Division dispatched an eight-person investigation team led by team leader Kyoji Tanabe.

After Tanabe Kyoji got the news, he was shocked and immediately organized people to move.

Since Yasu Fujita never came back, they realized that something had probably happened to Yasu Fujita, so they decisively gave up the previously scheduled transfer location and used an alternate meeting place that only team leader Kyouji Tanabe knew.

Not only that, Tanabe Kyoji also considered arranging for people to squat near the original meeting point. The purpose was to see if there would be Chinese agents to arrest him, and to judge whether the arrested Fujita Yasu had betrayed the organization.

Originally, it was not appropriate for Hirao Ko to carry out the observation mission, but Hirao Ko finally succeeded in persuading Tanabe Kyoji by using the reason of atonement, and he promised that he would be more careful.

Now, Hirao Akira has been squatting here for nearly an hour. Everything is very calm and no suspicious person appears.

This made him feel slightly relieved. It seemed that Fujita Yasuo didn't speak.

Thinking of Fujita Yasushi, Hirao Akira couldn't help but feel sad. Although the two often had various differences at work, overall they had a good relationship. Fujita Yasu taught him a lot.

However, Yasu Fujita has now become a prisoner of the Chinese and is undergoing the most severe torture.

Tonight is very critical. Early tomorrow morning, Hirao Akira will return to the assembly point to report to Team Leader Tanabe Kyoji.

At this moment, his stomach suddenly growled, and Hirao Akira then remembered that he had not eaten enough since morning.

Not far along the street, there is a pie shop. The companion who is responsible for buying food once bought pies in this shop, and they tasted pretty good.

Hirao Akira immediately walked to the pie shop. The pie shop was doing good business. When he got in line, there was only one pie left. According to his appetite, this was definitely not enough.

The boy glanced at him and said, "Please wait a moment, the fresh ones will be ready soon."

Hirao Akira nodded. These days, he leaves early and comes home late. People nearby rarely see him, and he has never visited this pie shop, so there is a high probability that no one will notice him.

So Hirao Akira found a remote corner and sat down, waiting patiently.

In the back kitchen of the pie shop, the boy found the chef who was making pies: "Dad, there is a customer who looks familiar!"

The chef stopped what he was doing, wiped his greasy hands on his apron, and said, "Looks like the person in the photo?"

The boy nodded vigorously: "Anyway, it looks similar to me."

The chef took out a photo from under the panel, blew on the flour on it, stared at the two people in the photo and asked: "Which one?"

The boy pointed his finger at the person next to a policeman and said, "This!"

"I got it, don't disturb him, I'll inform you!"

Hirao Akira got his pie, paid and walked out of the store. He found an alley nearby and ate the three pies in a hurry. With food in his stomach, he finally no longer felt as uncomfortable as before.

The first night after Yasu Fujita's arrest is undoubtedly the most critical. If he can survive it, the chance of opening his mouth will be slim.

But Kyouji Tanabe said that regardless of whether Fujita Yasu spoke or not, the plan he knew before could no longer be implemented and must be adjusted immediately.
