Spy game? Stop guessing, I really am an undercover agent!

Chapter 7 The real purpose

After talking with Lin Xueyi for a long time, Chen Yang, who had originally wanted to rest, became wide awake.

Rolling up his sleeves, Chen Yang moved the documents he had brought from the Osaka Chamber of Commerce to the table.

After brewing a cup of tea, Chen Yang opened the documents with his right hand and picked up a pen and scrap paper with his left, preparing to conduct a systematic analysis.

But just as I turned two pages, a voice suddenly echoed in my mind.

"Ding, a large amount of analyzable data has been captured. The system is inputting data for comprehensive analysis."

Chen Yang's heart skipped a beat; how could he have forgotten about this thing?

This AI program is comparable to a supercomputer. As long as it is fed and trained with enough data, its analytical and computational capabilities are unmatched by humans.

"Whoosh." Chen Yang quickly flipped through all the documents in his hand.

It only took ten minutes to input all the data in front of me into the AI ​​program, and the next moment, a perfect data analysis report appeared in my mind.

This report covers the Osaka Chamber of Commerce's sales performance, inventory status, and sales profits over the past six months.

Most importantly, the data report clearly shows that at least 170 tons of supplies have gone missing in the past six months.

There are no sales or transfer records.

In other words, over 170 tons of goods were embezzled; they were just trying to balance the books.

Following the analysis report provided by the AI ​​program, Chen Yang retrieved and reviewed the relevant information.

It's embarrassing to admit, but if AI hadn't been so powerful and able to draw conclusions through big data analysis, he wouldn't have been able to spot the problem at all.

That means the person doing the accounting clearly knew about this, and he was ordered to balance the accounts.

The goods, weighing over 170 tons, were valued at 500 silver dollars per ton, a price that was currently in high demand. This meant a deficit of at least 100,000 silver dollars.

It seems there are corrupt elements within the Osaka Chamber of Commerce as well.

Perhaps it's not just about the Osaka Chamber of Commerce; Chen Yang vaguely felt that he seemed to know something he shouldn't know.

A knock sounded on the door. Chen Yang quickly put away the financial report and sales data of the Osaka Chamber of Commerce, got up and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was Lin Xueli, the eldest brother of the Lin family.

"Chen Yang, did I disturb you?" Lin Xueli adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and asked gently.

"No, no, brother, please come in." Chen Yang politely stepped aside to invite Lin Xueli in.

Lin Xueli walked into the room and looked around, saying, "In the years since you left, my eldest sister has had someone come in and clean every few days."

"I don't know why she got so angry today."

"How is Uncle?" Chen Yang asked casually, then said thoughtfully, "Big brother, has something happened in the family these past few years? I feel like Uncle and Big sister have some kind of conflict."

Lin Xueli didn't intend to hide anything, and sighed, "It's all because of the Japanese."

"The Japanese invaded last year, and now the Shanghai market is dominated by the Japanese."

"Dad is a businessman, so naturally he wants to avoid misfortune and go with the flow."

"My older sister has argued with us many times about this."

"She doesn't even consider that our Lin family has worked so hard to build this fortune, are we just going to give it up like this?"

“The two of them argue every time they meet. My second son and I couldn’t stand it, so we each bought houses outside.”

"To be honest, if you hadn't come back today, my second brother and I might not have wanted to go back to the old house."

“Look at the way my eldest sister is acting, like our whole family owes her something.”

"I don't want to come back and have to put up with her attitude."

Chen Yang frowned and said, "Brother, we're all family. Why can't we discuss things? Why make it like this?"

Lin Xueli smiled upon hearing this, his expression conveying a sense of unspoken unease. "By the way, did the second brother come looking for you earlier?" Lin Xueli changed the subject and asked.

"Brother, what are you trying to say?" Chen Yang clearly sensed that Lin Xueli's words had a hidden meaning.

Lin Xueli said calmly, "I know that the second brother wants to do black market business. I warned him that he is not cut out for it at all."

"There are no rules in the black market business; it's all about reputation."

"When their goods get into trouble, all they know is to resort to knives. How can people like that do business?"

"By the way, speaking of which, I have something I'd like to ask you."

After going around in circles, they finally got to the point. Chen Yang smiled and said, "Brother, go ahead."

Lin Xueli said, "I want to ask you for a batch of supplies."

"Supplies? You're asking me for supplies?" Chen Yang laughed exaggeratedly. "I'm just a poor student who just returned to China. How could I possibly get supplies for you, brother?"

Lin Xueli suddenly got up, walked to the door, listened closely for a while, and then suddenly opened the door and looked outside.

Chen Yang found the other person's actions somewhat puzzling. Before he could ask, Lin Xueli quickly closed the door and gestured for Chen Yang to go to the window.

Lin Xueli said softly, "Chen Yang, there are some things that can't be explained clearly even at home."

"Some people in our family are not simple."

Do you know about the Special Higher Police (STPC)?

Chen Yang nodded. This was Japan's most famous spy organization.
The Special Higher Police Section (TOTK), established in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is under the jurisdiction of the Japanese Ministry of Home Affairs.

Initially, the Special Higher Police (THT) was a security and defense agency to deal with domestic incidents. Its predecessor was the Aoki Agency, founded by Nobuyuki Aoki.

After taking over the Aoki Agency, the second-generation Rihachiro Sakanishi reached an agreement with the Ministry of Home Affairs to integrate the Aoki Agency's spy training program into the work of the police department and select suitable personnel for training.

Thus, a special higher police department was established, which is a level higher than the regular police department.

Subsequently, in response to Japan's needs for invading China and Southeast Asian countries, the Japanese government began to gradually transform the functions of the Special Higher Police.

In addition to their intelligence work, they also cooperated with other espionage agencies in intelligence activities.

In addition to its routine espionage work, its main responsibilities include law enforcement and oversight powers that supersede those of ordinary agencies.

This means that the organization not only has external oversight powers, but also internal oversight powers.

Once corruption is discovered within the military, he can arrest and interrogate directly without prior approval.

Most importantly, their spies are ubiquitous, and some important figures in Shanghai are also within their surveillance scope.

Chen Yang asked suspiciously, "Brother, do you suspect that there are people from the Special Higher Police in our family?"

"Perhaps," Lin Xueli said. "I can't guarantee it, but it's always better to be safe than sorry."

"Actually, you don't need to hide it from me. I've been doing business in Shanghai for over ten years. Although I can't say I have connections everywhere, I still have ways of finding out some information."

"Before you returned, the Shanghai Osaka Chamber of Commerce received a telegram and suddenly began internal adjustments."

"Some people say that this is because their headquarters in Kyushu is sending some important person over."

"You went straight to the Osaka Chamber of Commerce without even going home after you got off the ship, and then you went to the Japanese Consulate."

"Judging from this, even if you weren't directly involved, you're at least someone who knows about this."

"Actually, my demands are not high. All the chambers of commerce in Shanghai are boycotting Japanese trading companies."

"Based on our past sales research with the Osaka Chamber of Commerce, we are certain that they currently have at least five or six hundred tons of various goods piled up in their warehouses. If you could help us mediate between them..."

“My partner and I can take all of these supplies.”
