Spy Wars: Red Agent Codename Phoenix

Office of the Director of the Yichang Chengzhu Government Office.

Hiroshi Doihara sat by the brazier, intently taking on the challenge of grilling glutinous rice cakes.

After several attempts, I finally baked a large glutinous rice cake that wasn't too burnt.

Doihara Hamaru played with the glutinous rice cake as if admiring a delicate work of art.

"Report! The director of the film studio has called back."

Xiao Qi reported loudly at the door, which startled him.

Doihara Hamaji put down the rice cake and scolded, "Can't you knock? You scared this great general half to death."

Xiao Qi handed over the telegram, saying with a grin, "General! I know you have excellent mental fortitude; you wouldn't even blink if Mount Fuji collapsed in front of you."

Doihara Hamaji took the telegram and roared:

"Damn Shadow Chief, while the Imperial soldiers are all fighting, he's celebrating the New Year."

Xiaoqi pointed to the fine wine and delicacies on the table and said with a smile:

"General! Aren't you also celebrating the New Year?"

Doihara Kenji waved his hand and said, "Can the Shadow Agency Chief compare to me? In order to better fight, I must maintain a cheerful mood."

Xiao Qi handed him a pot of fine wine and said with a smile, "You're all single, so you don't have to worry about your family."

Doihara Kenji took the wine and instructed, "Honyu! Call Takahashi Kosei and tell him that he no longer needs to kill Tojo Aofu. Tell him to come back immediately."

Xiao Qi said with a wry smile, "General! I have sent 11 telegrams to Takahashi-kun, and he has replied that he is on his way back."

Doihara Hamaji instructed, "Like the emperor who framed Yue Fei, send 12 telegrams in a row, saying that his family has all died and he should come back immediately."

"Hello!"

Xiao Qi bowed and accepted the order.

Doihara Kenji walked up to the mirror and muttered to himself, "I'm even more handsome than the director of the Shadow Agency, so why am I still single? No way! I need to find Miss Aoki and get some beautiful female agents to come and amuse me."

"Crack!"

Suddenly, someone threw a string of firecrackers into the brazier through the window.

In the blink of an eye, the office was completely destroyed.

Doihara Hamaji burst out of the office, roaring:

Who's so bored?

Takahashi Kosei stepped forward, grinning, and said, "General! I've broken free from Tojo Aofu's control and returned to celebrate the New Year with you."

Doihara Hamaji scolded, "You came back alone? Where are the 250 people?"

Takahashi Kosei said with a wry smile, "I only brought back half of them; the rest were forcibly left behind by Tojo Seifu."

"You good-for-nothing!"

Doihara Hamaru angrily shouted and rushed up to give Takahashi Kosei a beating.

Huai'an, Jiangsu Province: A temporary outpost of the Shanghai Special Higher Police.

Yoshiyuki Kawashima reported: "Chief! The head of the Bamboo Agency called to say that due to combat casualties, he has requested the Ministry of Home Affairs to transfer a group of beautiful female agents from the Special Higher Police in Shanghai to reinforce the Bamboo Agency."

Aoki Renka was so angry she almost jumped up, shouting, "You bastard, Doihara Hamako, how could you be so despicable?"

Kawashima Yoshiyuki suggested, "Section Chief! Why not assign the ugliest Miss Huanzi to his department to monitor his every move?"

Aoki Renka happily said, "Yoshi! Send Ushijima Yoshiko to disgust Doihara Hamako to death. Fangzhi! Go and carry it out."

"Ugh! Disgusting! Hiroshi Doihara!"

Kawashima Yoshiyuki accepted the order with a smile and left the office.

Aoki Renju stroked her lower abdomen and murmured to herself, "Yamashita Chuo! Look what you've done."

At that moment, Mako Aoi walked into the office and whispered, "Section Chief! 'Old Uncle' from Chongqing called; the Ono Kikuko killed by the Film Bureau Chief is a fake..."

Aoki Renka interrupted her, asking in confusion, "How did 'Uncle' from Chongqing know?"

Mako Aoi said with a wry smile, "'Uncle' said that Kikuko Ono tried to assassinate him and Mieko, but he killed her instead."

Aoki Renka nodded and said, "It's good that Ono Kikuko is dead, so as to avoid affecting 'Uncle's' ultimate infiltration."

Mako Aoi asked, "Section Chief! Should we inform the Kagemoto Chief that Kikuko Ono is dead?"

Aoki Renka shook her head and said, "No need! This is a good opportunity to test him and see if he will continue to send people to kill Ono Kikuko. You should send a message to the director of the film agency, praising him for eliminating the hidden danger, and see if he tells the truth."

Mako Aoi asked with a laugh, "Section Chief! You even test the father of your child?"

Aoki Renka scolded, "Shut up! Go and report to the director of the film bureau."

"Hello!"

Mako bowed and accepted the order.

Chongqing, the underground secret room of Chu Mansion.

Xiang Chu was listening to Liu Zhengxiong's summary of the situation regarding the tracking of Ono Kikuko.

Liu Zhengxiong said vividly, "Lord Chu! Based on the intelligence gathered by the various action groups, I have come to a conclusion: Ono Kikuko disappeared after being taken away by a military vehicle in the market."

Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! What about that military vehicle? Which department does it belong to?"

Liu Zhengxiong shook his head and said, "We can't find out! The license plate is fake, and the people in the car were disguised beforehand. We simply can't find out who they are."

Xiang Chu said with a wry smile, "So many of us, and we've investigated nothing?"

Gan Rong laughed and said, "Lord Chu! You're not lonely either. When Xiao Liu and I were conducting our patrol, we found two river patrol officers on the banks of the Jialing River. They said they encountered a male and female military officer who had parked their car by the roadside and were doing something bad in the woods."

Xiang Chu was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Is there a specific location?"

Xiao Liu pointed to the map and said, "Boss! It's roughly around this location."

Xiang Chu instructed: "Gan Rong! Sun Xing! Liu Sen... You go to this grove by the Jialing River. It's highly likely that Xiao Yejuzi was drowned by that couple. Look for any clues."

"Old Liu! You and Xiao Liu go ask those two patrol officers what the male and female officers look like."

"Yes!"

Gan Rong and others hurriedly accepted the order.

Yu Xiaowan scolded, "Brother Chu! It's the Spring Festival, and you still make everyone move around."

Xiang Chu laughed and said, "Go investigate. It won't delay our New Year's Eve dinner. If we don't investigate quickly, Inspector Jiang might be killed to silence him."

Yu Xiaowan shook her head and said, "How could that be?"

Qian Fu entered the underground chamber and reported:

"Boss! It's a call from the Shanghai Special Higher Police."

Xiang Chu took the telegram and said with a wry smile, "Aoki Renka actually praised me for assassinating Ono Kikuko. Doesn't she know that the one who died was Ono Kikuko's double?"

Qian Fu asked, "Boss! How should we reply?"

Xiang Chu pondered and said, "Perhaps she is testing me on purpose. You should tell her that we killed Ono Kikuko's double and are doing our best to hunt down the real Ono Kikuko."

"Yes!"

Qian Fu hurriedly accepted the order.

Wu Wan ran down the stairs, shouting as he ran:

"Father! The sun is missing one side."

Xiang Chu hurriedly stepped forward, picked her up, and said with a smile:

"It must be a solar eclipse, let's go out and take a look."

Wu Wan said in a clear voice, "Mother and Aunt are on the roof. They asked me to come and call you."

"Alright! My Miss Wuwan will go up to the roof and take a look."

Xiang Chu laughed and hurried up the stairs to the rooftop platform.

Kong Ling and Song Xi were observing the solar eclipse with a glass smeared with ink; most of the sun was blocked by the moon.

Song Xi said happily, "Brother! The radio said there was a total solar eclipse in Northeast China and Japan. Does that mean something?"

Kong Ling quickly replied, "Need I say more? The Japanese won't last long."

Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! The Japanese won't last long."
