My years of espionage

Chapter 2006 The Spy (Seeking Double Monthly Tickets)
Qiao Chuntao and Xia Xiaoying both noticed the car parked at the entrance of the alley.

Xia Xiaoying looked at her husband.

Qiao Chuntao didn't say anything, but simply gripped his wife's hand tightly. In his other hand, he had already raised the pistol, pointing it at the vehicle window.

Just then, the car window rolled down, revealing a face that greatly surprised Qiao Chuntao.

Bi Jianfeng!
The head of the Emerald Street Police Station.

He wasn't too surprised to see Bi Jianfeng here. The enemy was searching for him and Xia Xiaoying on Emerald Street, and Bi Jianfeng, the head of the Emerald Street Police Station, would inevitably participate in the search operation.

To his surprise, Bi Jianfeng's outstretched right hand revealed a string of Buddhist prayer beads on his right wrist.

In addition, there is a jade thumb ring on his right thumb.

Bi Jianfeng glanced at the couple in the alley. He first raised three fingers with his right hand, then clenched his fist and raised one finger again.

After doing all that, he rolled up the car window.

"Let's go!" Qiao Chuntao said to his wife, Xia Xiaoying, suppressing his shock.

“Okay.” Xia Xiaoying naturally recognized that the man was the director of the Wang puppet police station, but she did not question or hesitate about her husband’s decision at all. She nodded and followed her husband out.

……

"Peach?" Bi Jianfeng asked behind him without turning around, while driving.

"Yes," Qiao Chuntao said.

He had many questions, but he knew that now was not the time to seek answers.

"The Chief arranged for me to pick you up," Bi Jianfeng said. He paused for a moment, then added, "The Chief asked me to convey a message: Your wife is quite skilled with her spear."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Chuntao immediately looked at his wife, realizing that it must be a coded message.

"Thank you for your praise, Director." Xia Xiaoying smiled, a hearty and generous laugh, as if the immense pressure she was under had suddenly been released. She nodded to her husband.

"I just scouted around carefully, and there are enemies all around," Qiao Chuntao said to Bi Jianfeng after thinking for a moment. "Even if Brother Bi comes to pick us up, it will probably be difficult to get through the checkpoints."

“It was indeed very difficult.” Bi Jianfeng nodded and said, “It was a sudden search operation carried out by the Special Higher Police; even I was not informed beforehand.”

……

"I only found out about their search operation when the Special Higher Police arrived at the police station," Bi Jianfeng said.

"Let us go," Qiao Chuntao suddenly said. "It's rare to find a police chief who is one of our own in the Nanjing Police Department. We've already been exposed, and we shouldn't implicate you any further."

"My orders are to get you out of here safely," Bi Jianfeng said, chuckling softly. "At all costs, get you out of here."

“But that’s almost impossible.” Qiao Chuntao slightly lifted the carriage curtain, glanced at the situation outside, and said with a solemn expression, “There’s a checkpoint ahead, and it will be too late then.”

“Brother Tao,” Bi Jianfeng glanced at the center console and said calmly, “you seem to have forgotten who I am.”

"Are the people at the checkpoint ahead from the Emerald Street Police Station?" Qiao Chuntao asked immediately.

……

“No.” Bi Jianfeng shook his head.

Qiao Chuntao frowned. He knew how dangerous the situation was, and he really didn't want the Special Affairs Division to get involved with another undercover agent like Bi Jianfeng.

Bi Jianfeng, the director of the Emerald Street Police Station of the Nanjing Municipal Police Bureau, was actually a member of the Special Affairs Division. As the station chief of Nanjing Station, he was completely unaware of this matter.

Clearly, this person was either personally placed or developed by the Director of Special Affairs, and his importance is self-evident.

He really didn't want to implicate Bi Jianfeng.

“They’re not my men, but I can get through this hurdle,” Bi Jianfeng said.

Qiao Chuntao fell silent.

Bi Jianfeng smiled. He admired this Brother Tao; he was fearless and knew the rules well.

……

When we were about 20 or 30 meters away from the checkpoint.

The checkpoint agents shouted for the vehicle to stop, and a dozen rifles were pointed at the oncoming car.

"What are you doing?" Bi Jianfeng rolled down the car window and stuck his head out. "Didn't you recognize me?"

“Brother Kai, it’s Brother Feng.” A special agent saw that Bi Jianfeng was driving and immediately said to the team leader next to him.

“I can see it,” Kai cursed. “The higher-ups have ordered that no matter who it is or whose car it is, it must be checked.”

"This..." The agent hesitated. Bi Jianfeng was quite generous and influential, and many people had benefited from him. However, Bi Jianfeng was also known for his bad temper.

Bi Jianfeng values ​​his reputation above all else; if you make him feel like he's lost face, he'll turn on you faster than flipping through a book.

……

Judging from Bi Jianfeng's expression, he was clearly in a bad mood and they didn't want to provoke him.

“I’ll go myself.” Brother Kai glared at his subordinate.

Just then, a few people walked over, and he pointed at them, saying, "Go, you guys go check them out."

The agents, relieved of their worries about Bi Jianfeng, happily went to question those people.

……

"Still haven't found anything?" Bi Jianfeng poked his head out of the car window, a cigarette dangling from his lips, and asked Kai as he approached.

“It’s not that easy. The Kuomintang agents aren’t stupid,” Kai said, taking the pack of cigarettes Bi Jianfeng tossed to him. “Didn’t your Emerald Street Police Station also come out to search?”

“I have my own men to do the work, otherwise what’s the point of being an official?” Bi Jianfeng said irritably.

“That makes sense,” Kai said, as he walked to the window and squeezed forward.

Bi Jianfeng then pulled his head back.

Qiao Chuntao saw the spy chief peek over, and their eyes met.

He smiled, his expression unchanged, and nodded in acknowledgment.

Kai didn't seem to notice that there were two people sitting in the back of the car.

He lit a cigarette and asked Bi Jianfeng in a low voice, "Brother, are you trying to die?"

“I’ve already driven my car here.” Bi Jianfeng flicked his cigarette ash. “If anyone’s going to die, it’ll be at your hands, you rich guy. Consider it a favor to deliver yourself to our doorstep. The Japanese will reward you handsomely.”

"Are you forcing me?" Kai asked through gritted teeth, a smile on his face.

“When you’re at your wit’s end, there’s nothing you can do,” Bi Jianfeng said. “It’s up to you, brother.”

"You're ruthless." Kai said through gritted teeth, "You might get me killed."

"No, you're a menace. Menaces live for a thousand years," Bi Jianfeng said with a laugh.

……

"Let's go, let's go." Kai pulled his head back and said irritably, "It's settled then, you owe me the hundred dollars you owed me for the last card game, pay me back tomorrow."

"Dream on," Bi Jianfeng cursed, then laughed and rolled up the car window.

Then, without turning around, he said to the two people behind him, "Keep your heads down and lie down properly."

"No problems found," Kai shouted at the top of his lungs, then waved his hand, "Let him through!"

Bi Jianfeng saw that the checkpoint barricades had been raised and the barricades had been moved. He honked the horn, stepped on the gas, and passed through the checkpoint.

……

Passed the level successfully.

Bi Jianfeng glanced behind him, and when he didn't hear what 'Brother Tao' asked, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

“This is just the first checkpoint,” Bi Jianfeng said. “According to the intelligence I have, the enemy has set up another checkpoint at the intersection of Kunshan Road ahead.”

“That’s not all,” Bi Jianfeng said. “Whether you turn left or right on Kunshan Road, there will be Special Higher Police officers who may stop and check your vehicle at any time.”

"So, you're planning to continue straight along Kunshan Road?" Qiao Chuntao asked, her expression slightly shifting.

“That’s right,” Bi Jianfeng nodded and said.

Qiao Chuntao frowned, because if they continued along Kunshan Road, the location of the Nanjing North Branch of the Special Agent Headquarters would be just ahead.

For Nanjing residents, this place is also known as "Little No. 21" because it is No. 21 Kunshan Road, the same address as the Nanjing Station of the Special Agent Headquarters at No. 21 Yihe Road.

Whether it's No. 21 Yihe Road or No. 21 Kunshan Road, they have almost become forbidden places for Nanjing citizens, who will avoid them when passing by.

He didn't understand what made Bi Jianfeng so confident that he would choose to walk out from the entrance of No. 21 Kunshan Road. He chose to trust this comrade who had suddenly appeared.

“However, for us right now, the most pressing issue is how to get through the checkpoints on Kunshan Road,” Qiao Chuntao said thoughtfully.

“That’s right, the checkpoint on Kunshan Road is under the control of the Special Higher Police.” Bi Jianfeng nodded, took a deep breath, and said, “For the three of us, that was the real gate to hell.”

Upon hearing Bi Jianfeng's words, Xia Xiaoying subconsciously touched her stomach.

She prayed silently in her heart, "Child, you are destined for great fortune, aren't you?"

……

Kunshan Road.

Special Higher Police checkpoint.

Special Higher Police agents are rigorously checking passing personnel and vehicles.

Anyone who is even slightly suspicious will be immediately bound and arrested.

On both sides of the road behind the checkpoint, four citizens suspected of having problems had been tied up and gagged.

Just then, a convoy of five cars arrived.

Ryota Takagi's expression hardened. He led his men forward, raising his right hand high to signal a halt.

As he moved, the Special Higher Police agents also raised their guns, ready to shoot any vehicles or personnel attempting to break through the checkpoint.

"What's going on?" Li Hao, in the second car, rolled down his window and asked loudly.

"Nanjing Special Higher Police, search for anti-Japanese elements," Takagi Ryota shouted. "Everyone, get out of the car immediately."

"Didn't you see this is a Ministry of Foreign Affairs vehicle?" Li Hao asked with an unfriendly expression.

"Everyone, get off the bus immediately!" Takagi Ryota frowned and shouted.

He naturally noticed the pass issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the windshield of the vehicle, but the name of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Wang Jingwei regime had no deterrent effect on him whatsoever.

……

"Haozi, what's going on?" Cheng Qianfan asked, frowning as he sat in the back seat.

"The Nanjing Special Higher Police ordered us to get out of the car for inspection," Li Hao said.

"Excuse me, who's leading this team?" Cheng Qianfan asked with an unfriendly expression.

"My elder brother asked for your honorable name," Li Hao asked, glancing at Takagi Ryota.

Takagi Ryota was furious. He hadn't expected that the other party would not only refuse to get out of the car, but would also dare to question his identity and name.

When did the people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Wang Jingwei regime become so bold?

He stormed forward angrily.

……

The car window was rolled down.

Cheng Qianfan looked at Takagi Ryota, who was walking forward, with a scrutinizing gaze.

"From the Nanjing Special Higher Police?" Cheng Qianfan asked in Japanese.

"Who are you?" Takagi Ryota asked, frowning. The man's Japanese was very fluent, a detail that caught his attention and softened his tone, preventing him from immediately losing his temper.

"How have you been lately, Mr. Nishikawa?" Cheng Qianfan asked again.

"The Nishikawa-kun you mentioned..." Takagi Ryota asked hesitantly.

"Hideto Nishikawa." Cheng Qianfan said.

"And who are you?" Takagi Ryota asked, slightly surprised.

Nishikawa Hideto was the head of the General Affairs Section of the Nanjing Special Higher Police. Although he was not his direct superior, Nishikawa Hideto held a high position and wielded great power.

“Nishikawa-kun is a good friend of mine.” Cheng Qianfan smiled with a hint of reminiscence. “The last time we had drinks together, we even danced the mulberry dance from his hometown together.”

Upon hearing this, Takagi Ryota's attitude softened further, because the details this person mentioned about Nishikawa Hideto's fondness for the Sangpi dance were known only to Nishikawa Hideto's true friends.

"Sir, we are searching for anti-Japanese elements," Takagi Ryota said. "Please cooperate with the inspection."

Nevertheless, Ryota Takagi decided to conduct the search officially, but he was much more polite in his manner.

……

"May I ask your name?" Cheng Qianfan glanced at the Special Higher Police officer.

"Ryota Takagi, Special Higher Police Operations Team 3, Nanjing," Takagi said.

"Mr. Takagi," Cheng Qianfan said, handing a business card to Takagi Ryota, whose face already showed impatience. "May I go over now?"

Ryota Takagi took the business card, and immediately frowned, feeling a headache coming on.

This is Hidetoshi Nishimura's business card. Most importantly, it has his signature on it. This special business card immediately put a lot of pressure on him.

"I'll go to the Lanyu Pavilion up ahead. You can see it from there, there won't be any problems," Cheng Qianfan said, his impatience no longer concealed.

Takagi Ryota glanced at the other person hesitantly.

Lanyu Pavilion is located a little south of the checkpoint, but it is still visible to the naked eye.

Moreover, this search was for Kuomintang agents within the checkpoint encirclement, while the convoy entered from the outside. Strictly speaking, these vehicles were objectively without any issues.

Thinking of Nishikawa Hideto's temperament, he couldn't help but feel uneasy. This Section Chief Nishikawa was notoriously vindictive. He had angered the important person who had Nishikawa's autographed business card. Given Nishikawa Hideto's violent temper, he would definitely be held accountable.

"May I ask your honorable name?" Takagi Ryota asked, looking at the other person.

“Cheng Qianfan, Ministry of Foreign Affairs,” Cheng Qianfan said coldly, seemingly very displeased at being questioned about his name. He added in a deep voice, “Furthermore, my imperial name is Miyazaki Kazuo.”

……

"Okay." Takagi Ryota thought for a moment, then finally nodded. "Please come back as soon as possible."

"I'll try my best." Cheng Qianfan glanced at Takagi Ryota, and despite his unfriendly expression, nodded politely. "Thank you."
