Traveling through the Republic of China to become a special agent, the system is very easy for me

Around noon, Yue Haishan returned and reported what he had learned to Yuan Ye.

Li Zhengxian, a graduate of the Artillery Department of the Central Military Academy, is 30 years old this year. He is not married and has no bad habits. His only hobby is to go dancing at the officers' club, but he doesn't go often, only a few times a month.

Given the short time available, Yue Haishan only learned this much. He asked if they should send someone to monitor Li Zhengxian, but Yuan Ye said it wasn't necessary for the time being and they would see how things went.

After finishing his lunch, Yuan Ye returned to his office, closed his eyes to rest, and waited for Li Zhengxian to arrive.

Around 2 p.m., Li Zhengxian, dressed in military uniform, was brought to Yuan Ye's office by Chu Yuntian.

Chu Yuntian gave a brief introduction and left immediately. Yuan Ye invited Li Zhengxian to sit on the sofa, made him a cup of tea, and then sat down opposite him. Li Zhengxian seemed a little nervous, unsure why he had been summoned to the Military Intelligence Bureau.

Yuan Ye sensed it too, but that was normal; anyone would feel nervous being summoned to the Military Intelligence Bureau for questioning. He smiled slightly:

"Battalion Commander Li, I didn't call you here for anything major, just some things I'd like to ask you about."

As he spoke, he activated his ability to eavesdrop on people's thoughts.

"Here's what happened. You should already know about the bombing of the Huangshan official residence. This is a very serious incident. I suspect there was a traitor who leaked the information. I was ordered by my superiors to investigate this matter. As far as I know, the air defense of the Huangshan official residence is under your responsibility. I would like to ask how many people in your battalion know that the Chairman has been staying at the Huangshan official residence these past two days."

Don't be nervous. Just because someone knows the situation doesn't mean they're a mole. There are many other people who know the situation, and we will question and investigate them one by one.

Upon hearing this, Li Zhengxian's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that they had become suspicious of him?

He had guessed before he came that it might be about this, but hearing it now still made him feel nervous.

However, he quickly calmed down and heard that many other people knew about this situation, so it wouldn't be so easy to investigate.

Furthermore, he received an order from above to send an additional anti-aircraft platoon to the Huangshan official residence. The order did not explain why, nor did it tell him that the Chairman was in the official residence. He simply guessed from this order that the Chairman must be in the official residence.

He feigned composure and smiled slightly:

"No one in our camp knew that the Chairman was staying at the Huangshan official residence. It was a secret. How could they have told us?"

He suddenly thought of something and continued:

"I almost forgot that an anti-aircraft artillery platoon was stationed at the Huangshan official residence. The day before yesterday, I received orders to send another anti-aircraft artillery platoon there. I think that since they are stationed there, they should know that the Chairman lives at the Huangshan official residence."

It's possible that someone among them leaked information; after all, with so many people, I can't guarantee that everyone is loyal and reliable.

He pretended as if he had just remembered something, but in fact he had already planned it out. He wanted to make the anti-aircraft artillery platoon members the suspects. As insiders, they were indeed suspects. With so many people, they could investigate enough. They couldn't possibly trace it back to him, who was unaware of the situation.

Yuan Ye sneered inwardly. So this Li Zhengxian was the traitor. His suspicions were indeed correct.

This put Yuan Ye at ease, finally opening a breakthrough. Now all he needed to do was follow the trail, catch his superior, and then, through his superior, capture this lurking Japanese spy group.

He now has two options. One is to interrogate Li Zhengxian immediately, which would allow him to find out the whereabouts of his superior right away, and then arrest the superior. Although this is fast, there is a hidden worry: will it alert the enemy?

Because the situation is completely unclear, if the Japanese spies soon find out that their superior has been captured, they may relocate, causing all their previous efforts to be in vain. Once such a situation occurs, it will be very difficult to wipe out the entire Japanese spy team. Even if they succeed in the end, it will be a long and drawn-out process, and I simply cannot stay in the mountain city for long.

Another option is to keep Li Zhengxian calm, make him feel that he might be safe, and then track him down to find his superior, which wouldn't be difficult for me.

Moreover, Yuan Ye judged that Li Zhengxian would likely contact his superior soon to tell him about the meeting and ask for instructions on what to do next. How could he not be worried at all?

Once you find his superior, you can monitor him and uncover the organization behind him. Of course, all the monitoring and tracking must be done by yourself, and only you can do it without being detected by the monitored target, so as not to alert them.

Others simply cannot do it, because they do not possess the same abilities.

Although it was a bit tough, it was worth it to catch all the Japanese spies in one fell swoop.

Yuan Ye smiled and said:

“We are aware of the situation you described. We will investigate each member of the anti-aircraft artillery platoon one by one. If there is a traitor among them, he will definitely not escape.”

Besides these people, can you guarantee that no one else in your camp really knows?

For example, when your superiors gave you the order, did they inform you about the situation at the Huangshan official residence?

"I can guarantee that you didn't tell me. If you don't believe me, you can investigate."

Li Zhengxian said this with absolute certainty, seemingly quite confident.

"I'll investigate."

Yuan Ye nodded, adopting a businesslike demeanor. He glanced at his watch, then stood up and said:

"Someone else will be here shortly. That concludes our questioning for today. Thank you for your cooperation. We'll look forward to troubling you again if we need anything in the future."

"Okay, I'll be there whenever you call."
