Genius Agent

Chapter 65 Everything Goes Smoothly

"Morita."

Saito snorted coldly. His worst fears had come true: Morita had betrayed him, and he had to make adjustments as soon as possible.

Furong was alright; he wasn't in Nanjing, so it would be difficult for the secret service to find him.

However, the four undercover agents in the concession must evacuate.

In the International Settlement, Cao Lijun was in a safe house. After several days of investigation, they finally found the four Japanese agents who had been lurking in the Settlement.

Having confirmed their identities, Cao Lijun decided to take action this morning.

The matter cannot be delayed. The Japanese must know that Morita has been arrested, but they haven't made any move yet, which means they haven't figured out Morita's situation.

But if given time, they might realize that Morita has already confessed, and then the four Japanese spies might escape.

Although the case didn't belong to them, killing four Japanese spies was still a significant achievement.

Most importantly, this is the Chief's case.

If you do it well, it's easy to leave a good impression on the supervisor.

Without delay, Cao Lijun confirmed the identities of the four individuals and immediately led the entire action team to carry out today's assassination mission.

"Team leader, everything is ready. Let's get started."

A team leader came over to report that Cao Lijun was looking at a map. Shanghai Station was a major station, one of the top stations in the country. Their action group had three teams, more than a hundred people, and assassinating four people was enough.

These four people don't need to be captured alive, making the operation much simpler.

However, considering that they were professional agents with good skills, and that one of them was in the police station, Cao Lijun did not dare to be careless. He assigned twenty-five people to each target, with eight people in charge of the operation and the rest providing cover and support.

These Japanese spies were all Chinese, but they worked for foreigners, and they couldn't reveal their identities when they killed people.

Otherwise, it would be a big problem if the foreigners blamed us.

"Okay, if anything unexpected happens, immediately use the backup plan and get them ready to act."

Cao Lijun nodded. The so-called alternative plan refers to ensuring that the operatives themselves are not captured if the evacuation fails.

If the person isn't caught, it's just a war of words; but if someone is caught red-handed, they'll be in an even more passive position.

"Yes."

The team leader accepted the order and left, and Cao Lijun sat down with peace of mind, waiting quietly.

Su Yuncheng walked to the newspaper office. Although the newspaper office had a car, Su Yuncheng usually didn't drive it unless there was nothing else to do.

Huang Chuanming has already learned to drive, but his skills are not yet proficient. Xiao Wang and the others are also learning to drive, and more and more people will be able to drive in the future.

[Bang bang]

Suddenly, a sound came from afar. Su Yuncheng was slightly startled. It wasn't the sound of firecrackers, but gunshots.

It was a bit far away, so it didn't sound very loud to him.

Someone fired a shot. Who fired the shot?

Su Yuncheng immediately quickened his pace and arrived at the newspaper office.

Only Huang Chuanming arrived at the newspaper office. Su Yuncheng grabbed the car keys, told Huang Chuanming to take the camera, and went straight out.

No matter where a shot is fired, it's news.

"Editor-in-chief, I've found out. It was a captain from the Central Police Station who was shot and killed."

The two arrived at the spot where the shooting had taken place, where a large crowd had already gathered. Police had arrived and cordoned off the area.

"Let's go there."

Police officers were shot dead? This is no small case.

The men Sato sent to the International Settlement had arrived, but all they found were corpses.

They had three undercover agents in the International Settlement, all of whom were killed.

There were originally two people in the French Concession. Morita has been arrested, and the other was the captain of the Central Police Station, who is also dead.

"Captain, everything is going smoothly, we are evacuating."

"Okay, let's go."

Cao Lijun was very excited when he received the news. As long as it went smoothly, killing four Japanese spies would be a great achievement for the operatives, even if it wasn't their case.

The action team mainly provides support, helping to arrest or kill people; that's their job and how they earn credit.

The operation went smoothly, but a small problem did arise. Fortunately, Cao Lijun had a large number of men, which helped resolve the issue.

Of the four Japanese spies who had infiltrated the country, only one had a telephone at home.

His undercover identity was that of a small-time merchant who supplied goods to the Shanghai Municipal Council in the International Settlement.

After receiving the evacuation order, Sato immediately called him.

The other three were instructed to send someone to notify them.

Morita's betrayal puts them in great danger. Let's retreat first and deal with the aftermath later.

The Japanese spy, disguised as a businessman, who received the call, hurriedly fled with a gun. He was very vigilant, and Cao Lijun's men, noticing his attempt to escape, opened fire immediately.

A gunfight broke out between the two sides.

Fortunately, he was alone and was eventually killed, but one member of the secret service was injured, thankfully only with a scratch.

They have a plan to deal with injuries, and all team members have been safely evacuated.

"Captain Huang, hello."

In the French Concession, Su Yuncheng approached the police officers and recognized one of them—a captain from the Central Police Station.

"Editor-in-Chief Su, what brings you here?"

Captain Huang was asking a question he already knew the answer to. The newspaper had a keen sense of smell; they would definitely come after something like this happened.

Not only Su Yuncheng, but also a newspaper employee arrived and was talking to the other police officers.

"I'm here to find out more."

Su Yuncheng slipped a few silver dollars to Captain Huang, who smiled. The dead man didn't get along with him. This man had only been in the Central Police Station for a year, yet he had already ousted the original captain.

Older people generally don't like people with such limited experience.

"You came a year ago?"

Su Yuncheng quickly got to the key point: the one-year timeframe was crucial. Su Yuncheng had already investigated and found that six people from the Special Higher Police had left.

"Yes, he was promoted too quickly and offended a lot of people, sigh."

Captain Huang sighed, but Su Yuncheng could sense his joy. This man was likely a Japanese spy who was at odds with Captain Huang.

"Becoming captain in just one year is really fast. Who are his enemies?"

Su Yuncheng continued to ask, and Captain Huang immediately shook his head: "How would I know? Anyway, there are quite a few."

Captain Huang is a shrewd man; he won't say anything reckless even after taking the money.

"Can I take a picture?"

Su Yuncheng asked again, and Captain Huang glanced around and said, "Hurry up and take the picture, the chief inspectors are coming soon."

The death of the captain is no small matter for the police station; the chief inspector and deputy chief inspector will come, and even people from the police department will come.

"Thank you, Captain Huang."

Su Yuncheng asked Huang Chuanming to take photos, while he continued to interview people, hoping to learn more so he could write more.

The police captain was killed as soon as he stepped out in the morning; the public loves news like that.

After the interview, seeing that more and more people were arriving, including some from other major newspapers, Su Yuncheng led Huang Chuanming back.

"Editor-in-chief, Captain Liu was not friendly to the people. He extorted and bullied many people. Many people cheered when he died."

On the bus, Huang Chuanming said with a smile, "A person who is unfriendly to the common people and helps foreigners do evil deserves to die."

Many people enjoy reading news like this.

Huang Chuanming didn't sit idle at the scene; he kept asking the nearby residents and learned a lot about the situation.

"After you get back, have someone dig deep into his past, make the article more substantial, and publish it in the paper tomorrow."

Su Yuncheng nodded, wondering if Captain Liu was Japanese, like Morita.
