Genius Agent

Chapter 59: Deepest Gratitude

In the conference room at Shanghai Railway Station, the director sat in the center, with Secretary Qi and Wang Hengxin on either side.

The other two were Shen Mozhou and Chen Yansheng. For Chen Yansheng, this was the first time he had attended such a high-level meeting. Apart from him, everyone else was at the level of section chief or above.

Chen Yansheng was able to participate because he had been in charge of contacting Su Yuncheng, and he was involved in the entire process of this case.

The others at the Shanghai station didn't know who the arrested person was, let alone their testimony, and were therefore not qualified to attend the meeting. The deputy station chief, intelligence team leader, and action team leader could only wait outside.

"Please share your thoughts first."

The sergeant spoke first. Morita was not important; he was just a Japanese spy infiltrating the French Concession. However, his testimony provided a crucial clue.

They had a spy in Nanjing, and he was very important.

"Chief, this case doesn't fall under the jurisdiction of the Shanghai station, so I won't comment on it."

Wang Hengxin first stated that the person was arrested and interrogated by the section chief, and the outcome of the interrogation would either be in Nanjing or in the foreign concessions. He did not want to get involved in this.

Secretary Qi and Shen Mozhou cursed the old fox in their hearts. This case clearly had follow-up, and the follow-up was very troublesome. Doing it well would not bring much credit, but doing it poorly would be a big mistake.

"Who said it has nothing to do with you? You are responsible for investigating the remaining four Japanese spies lurking in the concession. Once you find them, you must eliminate them. Now, tell me your thoughts."

The director, however, had no intention of letting Wang Hengxin off the hook and made it clear that he had to speak.

"Yes, Chief."

Wang Hengxin organized his thoughts and slowly said, "The Japanese have wolfish ambitions. They started making arrangements a year ago. They planned to place six undercover agents in Nanjing, but suddenly five were recalled. This means that the remaining one is very important and is likely to be infiltrating an important department. For his safety, the others were placed in the safer concessions."

Secretary Qi, Shen Mozhou snorted inwardly again. This was all nonsense; it was something Morita had confessed himself.

"Anything else?" The section chief asked Wang Hengxin.

"Your subordinate is dull-witted and can only think of these things for now."

Wang Hengxin was determined not to get involved in the case; the four Japanese spies lurking in the concession could be eliminated by assassination.

However, this undercover agent in Nanjing is obviously very troublesome. We don't know his name or where he is. All we know is that he went to Nanjing a year ago and what he looks like. Finding such a person is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Mo Zhou, tell me."

The magistrate let him go and looked at Shen Mozhou.

"Chief, I'm in the training section. It's most appropriate for the intelligence section to take over this case."

Shen Mozhou lowered his head. Like Wang Hengxin, he was unwilling to express his opinion. It would be best if the case could be solved, but if it couldn't, it would definitely affect his impression in the director's mind.

This is a case personally handled by the Chief of Staff; the person lurking in Nanjing must be found.

"Forget it, take the man to Nanjing and let the intelligence department take over."

The magistrate lost interest in questioning him; this case belonged to him, and he had to solve it.

Solving a case that is being directly monitored by superiors is only a secondary achievement; the primary credit will definitely go to the section chief. Such cases are high-risk and low-reward, and these shrewd individuals certainly wouldn't want to get involved.

"The Director is wise."

The group flattered him, but the section chief wasn't very interested. He waved his hand and prepared to go rest.

He was indeed a bit tired after tossing and turning all night.

The next morning, Su Yuncheng woke up early; he hadn't dreamed the night before.

I don't know if the Secret Service discovered any Japanese spies yesterday, but since they haven't contacted him to reprimand his inaccurate divination, there's a high probability they did.

"Editor-in-Chief Su."

Not long after they came out, Shen Mozhou called out to him from the car.

Su Yuncheng then got into the car.

"Why are you here again?"

Su Yuncheng directly questioned these guys, asking if they really thought Japanese spies were blind, since they came to see him every day.

The Special Higher Police had been keeping an eye on him before, but thankfully, Tomoo Muto stepped in to resolve the problem. If they had been discovered, it would have been troublesome for them.

"This is our director's way of thanking you. We'll be leaving right away."

Shen Mozhou took out a small box and handed it to Su Yuncheng. Su Yuncheng took the box; it was quite heavy.

Shen Mozhou left without hesitation. After delivering the items, he asked Su Yuncheng to get out of the car, and they departed.

Su Yuncheng glanced around. They were waiting outside their alley. It was early, and there weren't many people around.

Back home, Su Yuncheng opened the box.

Inside lay five gleaming gold bars, each clearly worth ten taels. No wonder the box, though small, was quite heavy.

This is a large gold bar. One tael of gold can be exchanged for more than thirty silver dollars. Fifty taels would be more than 1,500 silver dollars.

Boss Dai is very generous; he gave him so much money.

It seems they have caught the person and gained something.

This is quite a gain; otherwise, they wouldn't have given him so much.

Su Yuncheng was right. The chief and the others had already concluded that the identity of the Japanese spy who was lurking in Nanjing must be very important, otherwise the Japanese would not have attached so much importance to him and withdrawn the people who had seen him.

The more important the identity, the greater the credit after finding it, so he gave Su Yuncheng more thanks.

This is only one of the reasons.

The capture of Xiao Wei, a Japanese spy, convinced the sergeant of Su Yuncheng's divination skills. Like his grandfather, Su Yuncheng possessed the potential to become a legendary figure in the martial arts world.

Give them more benefits now so they can better cultivate a relationship later.

"Yansheng, pack your things. We're going back to Nanjing with the Director."

Back at their lodgings, Shen Mozhou immediately spoke, while Chen Yansheng was taken aback: "Teacher, if we continue like this, are we not going to develop Su Yuncheng's relationship?"

Shen Mozhou shook his head: "The section chief has come in person. Even if we want to develop, we have to wait for the section chief's order."

Actually, Shen Mozhou was a little depressed. Su Yuncheng's calculations were so accurate this time that he realized his idea of ​​taking Su Yuncheng as his disciple was probably impossible.

Su Yuncheng has caught the eye of the section chief, and even if he is to be developed, Su Yuncheng's starting point will not be too low.

"Yes, teacher."

Chen Yansheng responded, expressing his shock that Su Yuncheng had uncovered a Japanese spy.

Are those fortune tellers not just charlatans, but people who actually have the ability to predict the future?

Although Chen Yansheng still didn't quite believe it, it was a fact that they had caught a real Japanese spy this time.

Morita was secretly sent to Nanjing by someone from Shanghai Station; they didn't need to take him with them directly.

After arriving in Nanjing, he would need to identify the important Japanese spy who was lurking there. Morita was very important, and Wang Hengxin dared not neglect him and would definitely send him there safely.

This is a case personally investigated by the Chief of Staff.

After putting away the gold bars, Su Yuncheng arrived at the newspaper office.

Xiao Wei has been dealt with. He didn't lift a finger, yet he received so many rewards. Su Yuncheng was in a very good mood.

Tomoo Muto has already left, and he needs to make some preparations for business matters.

With these gold bars, plus some savings left to him by his grandfather, Su Yuncheng had no problem getting the start-up capital for his small business.

"Editor-in-chief, today's newspapers are sold out again."

In the morning, Huang Chuanming entered the office to report the good news: 11,500 copies had been printed and were still selling out.

This indicates that their newspaper sales have been increasing, which is a good sign.
