Just when Jiang Yifan was torturing Kuno Rika to death and making her beg for mercy, Tanaka Keiko and Tokuda Haruto also took advantage of the night, quietly boarded a train and headed straight for Changping Station.

"Tsuneta-kun, do you think that the assassination of you by Chinese agents at the Hongfu Hotel was related to Shinichi Shimahashi?"

Sitting in a separate carriage, Keiko Tanaka looked at Haruto Tokita and asked seriously.

She has always been brooding over the assassination of Haruto Tsuneta at the Hongfu Hotel.

Why did the Chinese agents also know that Shinichi Shimahashi knew about Haruto Tsuneta and stayed at the Hongfu Hotel?

He really wanted to use the senior agent, Haruto Tsuneda, to catch the lighter in Shanghai, and thus permanently eliminate this worry.

"I understand your feelings, but you forgot one thing. That is, after you suspect him, you have to find evidence to support your suspicion of him! The key now is that you can't produce any evidence!"

Haruto Tokida looked at Keiko Tanaka and told the truth.

"Right now, we can't get any evidence, so we can't do anything to him." Keiko Tanaka replied helplessly.

"In fact, when I was at the Hongfu Hotel, not only was Shimahashi Shinichi suspicious, but the rickshaw driver was also a suspect."

After a pause, Haruto Tokida spoke again.

Keiko Tanaka nodded and said nothing.

He also knew that the rickshaw driver was a key suspect, but how could the rickshaw driver know about Haruto Tsuneta?

What's more, Haruto Toshida also wore makeup and disguised himself?

Seeing that Tanaka Keiko didn't speak, Tokida Haruto spoke again:

"Actually, I still have a question. If Shinichi Shimahashi was the lighter, and he was the one who arranged the assassination of me at the Hongfu Hotel, then how do you explain the assassination at the Aili Hotel? Shinichi Shimahashi didn't know about it this time, right? But wasn't I still assassinated? How do you explain this?"

Keiko Tanaka was speechless again when asked.

"Maybe I'm really overthinking! It's always been like this. I have doubts about him, but I can never produce any evidence. Moreover, he always gives us some unexpected surprises at work, just like your discovery. If he hadn't discovered you in time, I don't know if we can meet now, and how we would meet."

After a pause, Keiko Tanaka answered sincerely.

"In that case, Shimahashi Shinichi is indeed a controversial figure. When you return from this mission, I will help you design a few plans to identify him. If he is really the lighter, let him reveal his flaws."

Haruto Tokida looked at Keiko Tanaka and comforted her.

"Then thank you very much, Mr. Tsuneda!" said Keiko Tanaka, but in fact, she did not hold out much hope, because, after all, Shinichi Shimahashi was someone who had been screened with medicines and injections twice!

The best way now is to transfer him away from Shanghai after this mission is completed, out of sight, out of mind!

He is definitely a talent, but I cannot and dare not use him. Moreover, he is already a deputy section chief and will soon threaten my position. He is also right next to me. Wouldn't that just cause trouble for me?

Thinking of this, Keiko Tanaka's heart finally calmed down.

She picked up the teacup, took a sip, and changed the subject:

"Tsuneta-kun! I've been worried too. You hid the information and samples in the Changping Lilac Hotel. Nothing unexpected will happen, right?"

"Don't worry! Chief Tanaka! Even if I tell the Chinese agents that the intelligence and samples are in the Lilac Hotel in Changping, they won't be able to find them. Otherwise, they would never have mobilized a large force to come to Shanghai to hunt me down."

Haruto Tokita looked at Keiko Tanaka and answered without any worry.

Hearing this, Tanaka Keiko once again breathed a sigh of relief.

The Japanese side has paid too much for this information and this sample.

The two scientists alone were enough to cause her a lot of trouble. Add to that the death of Ryosuke Hihara and the destruction of the Special High Section's action team, and she cannot shirk her responsibilities for these.

But as long as he can stay safe, obtain intelligence and samples, and send them back to his homeland safely, his career will still have great prospects.

However, if there are problems with the intelligence and samples again, everything will be rewritten!

Let alone whether the chief of the Special High Section can be saved, the key is whether he can survive, it is hard to say.

Now, with Haruto Tsuneta's guarantee, there will be absolutely no problem in sending it back to the mainland safely as long as it is not taken away by Chinese agents in advance.

The next day, Jiang Yifan walked into the office of the Business Control Bureau exhausted. As soon as he sat down on the chair, the phone on the desk rang.

"Jingle Bell!"

Jiang Yifan felt exhausted, picked up the phone and asked:

"Hey!"

"I'm Sato Ichiro. Come to the headquarters right now. There's an urgent mission!"

Sato Ichiro's voice spoke anxiously on the phone.

"Hayi!"

Jiang Yifan put down the phone, thought for a moment, and then drove to the headquarters.

"Report! Shimahashi Shinichi, report in!"

Shinichi Shimahashi looked at Vice Minister Yamato Hosaki, Vice Minister Karasawa, Lieutenant General Matsushita Inoue, and Ichiro Sato and reported while standing at attention.

He also saw Hisaikei Rikuto and Kumagawa Daiki standing in the office, as if they had just received orders.

"Shimahashi-kun! Section Chief Tanaka is away, and there is an urgent mission that needs you to lead the team to complete. How about it, no problem, right?"

Deputy Minister Hosaki Yamato looked at Jiang Yifan and asked seriously.

"Reporting to Vice Minister Hosaki Yamato! As long as you trust me, even if it means risking my life, Shimahashi Shinichi will not hesitate!"

Shinichi Shimahashi looked at Vice Minister Hosaki Yamato and answered while standing at attention.

Hearing this, Jiuchi Jinglu Ren couldn't help but shook his head. He had completely forgotten what I had told him. Alas! His passion still couldn't be cooled down!

Can't you just be polite and shirk your responsibility, or ask clearly what the task is?

This young boy still can't change his immature temper!

After seeing this, Ichiro Sato felt relieved, because he was more confident in handing this matter over to Shinichi Shimahashi. If Keiko Tanaka was there, it would definitely not be Shinichi Shimahashi's turn to lead the team.

You know, this is a direct entry into the Shanghai Expeditionary Force Headquarters, which is closely related to the battle situation on the front line!

Any random word is confidential.

However, this also shows that Vice Minister Hosaki Yamato has great trust in Shimabashi Shinichi!

It seems that if Keiko Tanaka can successfully get back the information and samples this time, it's fine. But if anything unexpected happens, Keiko Tanaka's position will be in jeopardy.

And Shinichi Shimabashi is about to fly!
