My years of espionage

Chapter 2081 'Qualitative'

Songhuali.

Daikin Clinic.

Dressed in a crisp Zhongshan suit and wearing a badge bearing the image of Wang Tianhai, Cheng Qianfan, with a somber expression, led a group of people in with great strides.

"What's going on?" he asked.

"Brother Fan," Li Hao reported, "these people are likely from the Shanghai Special Operations Bureau."

As he spoke, he handed a piece of paper to Cheng Qianfan, "It was found on that person."

Cheng Qianfan took it, glanced at it, and saw that it was a slogan, a declaration from the Shanghai Special Affairs Bureau to eliminate the Japanese invaders.

"Where's Onodera-kun?" He folded the paper, put it in his pocket, and asked casually.

“They’ve been sent to the Army Hospital,” Li Hao explained. “Lieutenant Colonel Onodera was injured. We were originally planning to send him to the Daikin Clinic, but something happened here too.”

Just then, the sound of car brakes came from the road outside, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.

"Brother Fan, the military police are here," an agent from the Third Political Security Bureau ran in to report.

……

“Kawada-kun.” Cheng Qianfan stepped forward and looked at Kawada Atsuto, whose eyes were full of anger, and said.

"Cheng-san," Kawada Atsuto said with a grim face, "This area is now under the control of my military police. Your men can leave."

“Okay,” Cheng Qianfan said, nodding to Li Hao.

"Everyone, back to base," Li Hao ordered, leading his men out in single file.

"Onodera-kun has been taken to the army hospital; his life is not in danger," Cheng Qianfan said in a low voice to Kawada Atsuto.

"I understand." Atsuto Kawada nodded expressionlessly.

Cheng Qianfan didn't say anything more, glanced at the Jin Clinic littered with corpses, and left.

“Lieutenant Colonel, the doctor and nurses are still alive,” a military police officer said.

“He’s awake. Now, let’s question him,” Kawada Atsuto said through gritted teeth.

……

The next day, morning.

Army Hospital.

Cheng Qianfan came to visit Onodera Shogo.

Shogo Onodera was only affected by the shockwave of the explosion, and he was at the very back. Although he suffered some internal injuries, he was still conscious.

"How could this happen?" he asked Onodera Shogo.

“It’s very strange.” Shogo Onodera’s voice was hoarse and weak. “There were gunshots at the Daikin Clinic, but my men never came back. Then we were ambushed by enemy bombs on our way to the Daikin Clinic.”

“Most importantly, the situation at the Daikin Clinic is equally strange; the young Taoist priest has also disappeared.” Onodera Shogo had already learned further details from the military police, and he frowned as he said, “Young Master Atsuto suspects that the young Taoist priest has actually been rescued by the Chongqing authorities.”

"So, the people who ambushed you yesterday were also from Chongqing?" Cheng Qianfan asked.

……

"To be precise, it's highly likely to be Xiao Mian's Shanghai Special Intelligence Bureau," said Shogo Onodera.

"In other words, the military police's plan to abduct people actually gave the Shanghai Special Operations Bureau an opportunity to rescue them," Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully.

His expression was one of shock and anger, mixed with a hint of confusion. "I don't understand."

“Yes, I can’t figure it out.” Shogo Onodera nodded and said, “If these speculations are true, how did the Shanghai Special Intelligence Bureau find out about our plan? Was it a coincidence? Or was it an intelligence leak?”

"Information leak?" Cheng Qianfan's expression changed, and then he looked at Onodera Shogo and said, "The whole thing, Atsuto-kun knows, Onodera-kun knows, I know, Araki-kun knows, who else knows?"

"Does anyone else know anything about the military police?" he asked Shogo Onodera.

“Seijuro Amamiya also knew,” said Shogo Onodera. “However, Seijuro Amamiya has already died at the Daikin Clinic.”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Qianfan's expression grew even more gloomy.

Then he saw Shogo Onodera staring at him calmly.

"Does Onodera suspect that I leaked information?" Cheng Qianfan said with a terribly gloomy expression.

“No.” Shogo Onodera shook his head. “I just can’t figure it out.”

“Whether it’s Master Atsuto, or me, or Araki Harima, or even you, Miyazaki-kun, we’re all on the same side. There’s absolutely no way something could go wrong,” Onodera Shogo said thoughtfully. “However, the whole thing does seem like a leak, and I can’t figure it out.”

"Yes, I can't figure it out," Cheng Qianfan murmured.

Just then, the military doctor came in and said, "Sir, the patient needs to rest."

“Onodera-kun, I’ll head back now. I’ll start investigating this matter,” Cheng Qianfan said.

Shogo Onodera nodded slightly.

His eyes flickered as he watched Kentaro Miyazaki's departing figure.

After examining Onodera Shogo, the military doctor left quickly.

Then, Atsuto Kawada appeared in the ward.

……

"What did Miyazaki-kun say?" Atsuto Kawada asked Shogo Onodera.

“Miyazaki-kun is also puzzled,” Onodera Shogo said.

He pondered, "Rather than believing that the Shanghai Special Operations Bureau was simply lucky, I'm more inclined to believe that the intelligence was leaked."

Shogo Onodera said to Atsuto Kawada, "If the situation at the Daikin Clinic can be explained by a one in a thousand chance, then our encounter with the enemy's bomb ambush on Hamton Road is inexplicable."

He told Kawada Atsuto, “The enemy clearly knew about our presence on Hamton Road, which is why they planted explosives in advance to ambush us. Based on this alone, I am convinced that there was an intelligence leak.”

……

"You suspect Kentaro Miyazaki?" Atsuto Kawada looked at Shogo Onodera with a somewhat gloomy expression and suddenly asked.

“The number of people who know the whole story is limited,” Onodera Shogo said. “Apart from Atsuto, I don’t trust anyone else right now.”

“Kentaro can’t possibly be the problem,” Kawada Atsuto said in a deep voice. “Onodera-kun, you must understand this.”

Kentaro Miyazaki saved his life in Hangzhou, and in Qingdao, Kentaro Miyazaki risked his life to save him.

It could be said that he preferred to believe others, and even in Kawada Atsuto's view, even if Onodera Shogo in front of him might have a problem, Miyazaki Kentaro couldn't possibly have one.

Shogo Onodera fell silent.

“I’ll reiterate, Kentaro Miyazaki is absolutely trustworthy,” Atsuto Kawada said with a serious expression. “We shouldn’t be focusing our suspicions on him.”

He looked at Shogo Onodera and suddenly said, "Do you think there's anything wrong with Araki Harima?"

Shogo Onodera frowned in thought. "Araki Harima isn't in Shanghai; he's in Nanjing."

Suddenly, his expression changed.

“Young Master Atsuto, the most urgent matter now is to meet with Kentaro Miyazaki again to determine the nature of this matter,” Shogo Onodera said suddenly after some thought.

……

"Bag duck!"

With a crash, the documents on the desktop scattered all over the floor.

Arao Tomohiro's face was ashen, his chest heaving as he gasped for breath.

The Grand Golden Clinic was attacked. The young Taoist priest was rescued, but all of his men were killed.

Upon learning of this, Arao Tomohiro was completely stunned, feeling as if the sky had fallen.

What angered him most was that when he led his men to the scene to investigate, he was told by the military police that the scene had already been taken over by the military police.

Despite revealing his identity, it was to no avail; the military police even drove him away.

This led to a standoff between the Special Higher Police and the military police.

……

"Section Chief." Shinta Agasa knocked on the door and came in. Seeing the mess on the floor, he immediately looked away.

"Say!"

"The military police said that the Shanghai Special Intelligence Bureau attacked the Da Jin Clinic and rescued the young Taoist priest," Shinta Azuma said. "Not only that, the military police also questioned us about why we didn't inform them that we had arrested such an important criminal as the young Taoist priest."

"What they mean is that it was because we didn't inform them of this that the military police were ambushed and suffered collateral damage," Shinta Azuma said.

"Bag-duck!" Arao Tomohiro exclaimed, bursting with rage.

His mind is completely blank; he has no idea why this happened.

……

"Did you see the bodies of those people from the Shanghai Special Intelligence Bureau?" Arao Tomohiro asked.

According to his information, there was intense gunfire at the Da Jin Clinic, indicating that his men and the Shanghai Special Operations Bureau had engaged in a fierce firefight.

“No.” My grandson Shinta shook his head. “The military police have forbidden us from handling the bodies.”

“Go now and see the doctors and nurses at the Daikin Clinic. I heard they didn’t die, and we can get some inside information from them,” said Arao Tomohiro.

"Hai."

……

Two hours later, my grandson Shinta returned.

"Professor."

"You saw them?" Arao Tomohiro asked, his face ashen. "Or is it that the military police won't let you have contact with doctors and nurses?"

“I didn’t see anyone,” Shinta said. “However, the military police said that the doctors and nurses at the Daikin Clinic all died from their injuries.”

"What?!" Arao Tomohiro suddenly stood up.

“Yes,” my grandson Shinta said. “The military police showed me photos of the doctors’ and nurses’ bodies. They had all been shot multiple times and died horribly.”

"Despicable and shameless Chinese!" Arao Tomohiro's face contorted with rage as he slammed his fist on the table. "The people from the Shanghai Special Intelligence Bureau actually killed innocent doctors and nurses. Do they have no humanity left?"

“Section Chief,” Shinta Agasa said, “Hampton Road and Daikin Clinic are both within the jurisdiction of the Third Political Security Bureau. After the incident, Kentaro Miyazaki led a team to the scene.”

"Where is Kentaro Miyazaki?" Tomohiro Arao asked, his face ashen. "Such a big thing has happened, why hasn't he come to report the situation?"

My grandson Shinta didn't say anything.

"Go, go find Kentaro Miyazaki yourself and tell him to come see me," said Tomohiro Arao, his face ashen.

"Hai."

……

"Why wasn't this reported in time?" Arao Tomohiro stared into Miyazaki Kentaro's eyes and questioned him.

“Section Chief, it’s not that I didn’t want to report,” Cheng Qianfan said with a bitter face. “The military police took over the case, and Staff Officer Kawada from the Military Police Headquarters gave a stern warning that this was a classified case and that I must not disclose the details to anyone.”

"Kentaro Miyazaki?" Tomohiro Arao scoffed. "When did you become a member of the military police?"

“Section Chief,” Cheng Qianfan said, his face pale, as he tried to explain, “Staff Officer Kawada received a gag order from Commander Ikeuchi, and I also…”

"Alright, no need to explain anymore." Arao Tomohiro waved his hand. "Now, tell me everything you know."

……

"You mean, a slogan from the Shanghai Special Operations Department was found at the scene?" Arao Tomohiro asked.

“Yes, the slogan is now in the hands of the military police.” Cheng Qianfan nodded. “The slogan was found on the bodies of personnel from the Shanghai Special Intelligence Bureau.”

"What was the condition of the doctors and nurses when you arrived at the scene?" Tomohiro Arao asked.

"The doctor and nurse were both shot and dying; the situation is not optimistic," Cheng Qianfan said. "However, they were probably in a hurry to evacuate, so they only fired shots at other people and did not fire shots at the doctor and nurse."

He said to Arao Tomohiro, "Section Chief, I really can't figure it out. How did the enemy know that the little Taoist priest was at the Da Jin Clinic?"

Arao Tomohiro's face was gloomy, and he did not answer Miyazaki Kentaro's question.

"What is the casualty situation of the military police?" he asked.

“The casualties were quite heavy,” Cheng Qianfan said. “While they were pursuing the enemy, they were ambushed by enemy explosives, and Lieutenant Colonel Shogo Onodera, who was leading the team, was bravely wounded.”

"Think carefully, have you noticed any clues? For example, any strange things?" Arao Tomohiro asked.

Cheng Qianfan thought about it carefully, then shook his head. "My team had just arrived at the scene when the military police took over. In fact, I didn't have time to investigate the scene at all."

Arao Tomohiro gave Miyazaki Kentaro a deep look, then waved his hand, "You can go now."

"Hai."

"Miyazaki!" Tomohiro Arao suddenly called out.

“Section Chief.” Cheng Qianfan stopped and looked at Arao Tomohiro.

"Remember this: you are an agent of the Special Higher Police. Report anything to me immediately. That's your most basic duty!" Arao Tomohiro said with a gloomy expression.

"Hai!" Cheng Qianfan saluted Arao Zhiyang, then slowly retreated under Arao Zhiyang's gloomy gaze.

"Damn it!" Arao Tomohiro cursed through gritted teeth.

……

Back at No. 22 Xuehuali Road, the SWAT team's headquarters.

Cheng Qianfan was walking his large wolfhound, accompanied by Lao Huang, who loves animals.

“Although we successfully saved the young Taoist priest this time, it was still too risky,” Old Huang said in a low voice. “You are very likely to be suspected.”

“I know.” Cheng Qianfan nodded. “I thought of this when I was formulating the action plan.”

He patted the big wolfhound's rump and said to Old Huang, "However, the enemy has no evidence."

“Sometimes, evidence isn’t needed,” Old Huang said in a deep voice.

“Old Huang,” Cheng Qianfan said, “the most advantageous thing for me is that Kawada Atsuto trusts me a lot.”

“A little more.” He lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said, “Even if Kawada Atsuto has some suspicions right now, I’m not his first suspect.”

"You mean Araki Harima?" Old Huang said. "But Araki Harima has no reason to do this."

"Old Huang, you subconsciously feel that I'm more suspicious than Araki Harima because you know my identity." He smiled and said to Old Huang, "Do you think Kawada Atsuto suspects me or Araki Harima?"

“Even,” he said slowly, “doesn’t Onodera Shogo have any problems?”

"Or is it that there are absolutely no other people who know the truth?" he asked, flicking his cigarette ash.
