Genius Agent

Chapter 18 Important Information

Su Yuncheng reacted normally. As the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, he immediately called to arrange for someone from the newspaper to come and interview him when he encountered breaking news.

He then went to the police to inquire about the news.

If he killed Kobayashi, it wouldn't have been so natural.

If it wasn't Su Yuncheng, then it was an accident.

Some people at the scene saw that the tram was going very fast and did not slow down at all, and it hit Xiaolin directly.

Mizuno was very upset. Kobayashi had always performed well, and Mizuno was planning to groom him into a trusted confidant. However, he was so unlucky that he was hit by a car and killed while on a mission.

"Damn Frenchmen."

Mizuno couldn't help but curse, "Kobayashi died unjustly! These Frenchmen never care whether they'll hit someone while driving!"

They firmly believe that pedestrians should give way to them.

Kobayashi is a meticulous worker, and Mizuno guesses that Kobayashi has been following Su Yuncheng and has been paying full attention to him, so he didn't notice the tram approaching when he passed the railway tracks.

According to the current investigation results, Su Yuncheng did not find Xiaolin following him, and the two had no contact at all.

In his mind, no one could kill someone under such circumstances.

Xiao Lin's death had nothing to do with Su Yuncheng.

His two men did investigate very thoroughly, but they didn't find that Kobayashi had ever picked up a handkerchief in the trash can.

The information they obtained mostly concerned the situation when Kobayashi stopped.

When she stops, she is easily noticed. If she keeps walking, unless someone has specifically paid attention to Xiaolin, they won't care about strangers passing by.

Not being a beauty, Kobayashi dressed herself up very plainly, looking like an ordinary person, in order to track and monitor her.

Aside from thieves, no one would care about such passersby.

This Xiaolin died, but left behind a mess.

Muto Tomohiro learned of their investigation into Su Yuncheng, and the section chief warned him not to continue investigating Su Yuncheng.

Su Yuncheng has no problem.

What should we do next?

Did they secretly investigate without the section chief's knowledge?

No, the risk is too great. Su Yuncheng is only a suspect; there is no evidence to prove that he is related to Xie Hanzhang or the fleeing Communists.

If it's a covert investigation, he'll be in a very passive position if he's discovered again, and it will also leave an impression on the section chief that he disobeyed orders.

However, Mizuno was unwilling to give up the investigation.

Mizuno immediately picked up the phone. Since he couldn't investigate himself, he would ask someone for help.

"Fujita-kun, are you free tonight?...Okay, see you tonight."

Fujita Shun and Mizuno Takuma were classmates in junior high school and currently work at the Dobun Academy.

Fujita trained many Japanese students who were fluent in Chinese. These students disguised themselves as Chinese and were scattered in various places to help the Tongwen Academy collect information about the Chinese.

"Mizuno-kun, what brings you here all of a sudden? Why don't you ask me out for drinks?"

In a Japanese restaurant in the Japanese quarter, two people are kneeling on the ground with a lot of food on the table in front of them.

It's all the hometown dishes that Fujita Shun likes.

"To be honest, I'd like to ask Fujita-kun for a favor: I need to borrow someone from you."

Mizuno poured sake for Fujita and said in a low voice.

"Borrow someone? Borrow whom?"

Fujita was curious. Mizuno was the head of the Special Higher Police's intelligence team and had many subordinates. Why would he suddenly ask him to borrow people?

"Anyone will do, but they need to be quick-witted..."

Mizuno wanted to ask Fujita to help him arrange for someone to infiltrate Su Yuncheng's newspaper. Since he couldn't continue investigating Su Yuncheng, he would keep an eye on the person first.

He believed that if Su Yuncheng had any problems, he would eventually slip up.

If Su Yuncheng is alright, the people he borrowed can still gather the information that Tongwen Academy needs by utilizing the newspaper.

"Mr. Mizuno, you are unaware of the fact that there is nothing wrong with the Shincho Shimbun. It was founded by Mr. Muto."

After hearing what Mizuno said, Fujita immediately shook his head, offering a kind reminder.

Muto Tomoo was his senior, he knew Muto Tomoo and admired him greatly.

Although Muto Tomoo had already graduated, there was no need for him to plant his own people in his newspaper; if discovered, it would only lead to more misunderstandings.

"I know, I want to investigate Su Yuncheng, the newspaper's editor-in-chief, not to suspect Lord Mutō."

Mizuno replied immediately, while Fujita fell silent.

Inside the apartment, Su Yuncheng was already lying on the bed.

Muto Tomoo did not return his call today, but he will send a telegram by tomorrow at the latest.

No one suspected Kobayashi Fumihiko of being responsible for his death, so Su Yuncheng wasn't worried.

He was thinking of Huang Chuanming.

Huang Chuanming has not received any special agent training, and he could easily be exposed if he is not careful.

When sending the telegram today, Su Yuncheng also noted Huang Chuanming's behavior, pointing out that Huang Chuanming had discovered He Wenyuan's abnormality and found out that He Wenyuan had been in contact with Kobayashi Fumihiko.

Tomoo Muto values ​​talent, and Akira Kawakawa has performed well in these last few instances.

Like him, Huang Chuanming gathers intelligence for Mutou Tomohiro. Given Mutou Tomohiro's personality, he will proactively enhance Huang Chuanming's abilities as a special agent.

Huang Chuanming will be safer in the future.

Having made his plan, Su Yuncheng turned off the light and quickly fell asleep.

In his dream, Su Yuncheng appeared next to a building, surrounded by many people dressed in strange clothes.

He immediately realized that he had entered that strange dream again.

No one around him glanced at him; he couldn't sense anyone's emotions, as if he didn't exist.

Without thinking much, Su Yuncheng immediately looked around.

Each dream is short, so he tries to make the most of the time and look at the scenes in his dream as much as possible.

There was a sign ahead with many words written on it.

Some characters are strange, missing many strokes, but he can still understand them.

[Former Site of Zhazidong Concentration Camp]

[The National Military Council's Bureau of Statistics and Investigation, abbreviated as Military Intelligence Bureau, in 1943...]

Su Yuncheng read it quickly, feeling a little excited. This was the first time he had ever seen an accurate record of time in his dream.

43 years later, that was seven years later, the dream indeed showed the future.

The sign has more than one year on it; the last time it appeared was in 1988.

This proves that the brand was established at least forty-two years later.

After reading all the content, Su Yuncheng did not wake up. He immediately followed the crowd and walked inside.

It was indeed a prison, with many instruments of torture displayed inside. These instruments had clearly been there for many years, yet they still looked chilling and terrifying.

Su Yuncheng searched for places with words, and after reading the contents of a few signs, he opened his eyes.

It was already daylight outside the window.

This dream lasted longer than the previous ones.

In his dream, he saw the site of an old prison open to the public, but it allowed him to learn several important pieces of information.

The Kuomintang imprisoned and massacred many members of the Communist Party.

But the future victor will be the Red Party.

No wonder later generations can openly commemorate Xie Hanzhang.

This result is indeed hard to imagine.

The Red Party was being pursued and intercepted by the Kuomintang army, and faced the risk of annihilation several times. Who could have imagined that they would win the victory in just over a decade?

This is the second important piece of information: the timing of the Red Party's victory.

Su Yuncheng had no prejudice against the Red Party, and was more pleased than anything else to learn of their victory.

Xie Hanzhang's criticism of the Kuomintang in "A Record of Warnings" is correct; the Kuomintang has many factions and is selfish and self-serving.

At least the Red Party truly cares about the people.

Despite the newspapers' scathing criticism of the Communist Party, and despite the Japanese and the Kuomintang spreading rumors about it everywhere, their lies cannot deceive Su Yuncheng.
