"Yes!"

More than four thousand No. 76 agents responded in unison, their shouts shaking the sky!

Soon after, cars of agents from No. 76, as well as those lining up, all left No. 76 and poured into various districts of Shanghai.

Even the Japanese military police who were standing guard and enforcing martial law on the streets were shocked!

This is a considerable force!

At the same time, the alleys in the International Settlement and the French Concession were filled with groups of fake Agent 76, who kept looking out from the alleys. When they saw four or five trucks loaded with Agent 76 parked on the street and Agent 76 jumped out of the trucks one after another, the fake agents in the alleys poured into the street on the other side.

No. 76 on the opposite street thought that it was one of their own who had just come over from the opposite street. Who was so bored that he just shouted commands to everyone he saw?

In the blink of an eye, all the fake spies mixed in with the real spies.

What followed was knocking on doors, asking questions and checking identities.

No one has time to pay attention to whether the spy around him is the real Agent 76.

As a result, the streets and alleys of Shanghai were filled with Agent No. 76, and in an instant, every household was thrown into chaos and filled with crying and shouting.

All the small bosses were busy making money and getting benefits, and because the extra people pretended to be Agent No. 76, the situation in every household returned to normal. There were no underground party guerrillas or military agents to be captured, so they made money and gradually became the focus.

Li Qun and He Tianfeng also personally led people to search several houses in the French Concession, but they did not find the large number of underground party guerrillas as they had imagined, and they couldn't help but become suspicious.

If all the underground party guerrillas in the northern part of Shanghai were hiding here, then we should be able to catch a lot of them, but this is not the case at all.

Not to mention catching a handful, even if you wanted to find one or two, there were none.

Fortunately, General Kimura had made it clear in advance that even if he failed to catch the suspect, he would not be punished. Otherwise, he would be in big trouble again.

Li Qun was arrogant and thought about where the problem came from. He turned to look at He Tianfeng and asked:

"You said the underground guerrillas, why aren't there as many of them as we imagine?"

He Tianfeng didn't know how to answer when he heard this, so he could only say truthfully:

"This... Secretary General! I don't really understand! Logically speaking, the conclusion that the underground party guerrillas moved to Shanghai should not be wrong, right? But why can't they be caught?"

"Let's wait a little longer, maybe things will turn around." Li Qun said, still unwilling to admit defeat.

"Yes! Maybe we will catch them all in the end! Let's wait patiently." Seeing that Li Qun had regained confidence, He Tianfeng also said.

So the two of them drove back to the International Settlement and secretly checked on several households, but they also did not find any clues.

Afterwards, they stayed in the Japanese Concession for a while and asked someone to secretly search Jiang Yifan's home, but still found nothing.

Then, the two of them went straight to Huajie and conducted a follow-up search, but they also found nothing.

This made Li Qun feel uneasy!

He had a premonition that the situation was not going well, so he drove back to the expeditionary force headquarters and reported directly to General Kimura, Chief of Staff Sakata, and Ichiro Sato.

After hearing this, General Kimura looked at Li Qun and said comfortingly:

"Secretary Li! Don't feel any psychological pressure. I've already said yesterday that even if we can't catch him, we won't hold him responsible."

"So you need to analyze and recall carefully to see if you can find where the problem occurred. In other words, analyze further back. If these underground party guerrillas did not move to Shanghai, where would they move to? Be prepared for the next step. Got it?"

After hearing this, Li Qun immediately bowed to General Kimura and replied, "I understand! I will go and analyze the cause in depth right away."

After Li Qun finished speaking, he took He Tianfeng and left.

Seeing Li Qun close the door and leave, Sato Ichiro looked at General Kimura and asked:

"General Kimura, in your opinion, where will these underground guerrillas move to?"

General Kimura looked at Sato Ichiro and said bluntly:

"I haven't analyzed this issue carefully. Maybe there aren't as many underground guerrillas as Li Qun imagined. From Li Qun's speech, we can see that he was planning to arrest a large number of underground guerrillas, but in fact there weren't that many, so this is what happened now."

"If none of them were caught, it means that the underground party guerrillas did not move to Shanghai at all. This was caused by Li Qun's misjudgment."

"The third is that someone leaked the news, causing the underground party guerrillas to hide or move again."

After hearing this, Ichiro Sato couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The third one, in particular, had deeply touched his heart.

He also thought that the possibility of the information leaking out was very high. However, everyone was confined to the expeditionary force headquarters, and only Li Qun and He Tianfeng left the headquarters. How did this lighter transmit the information?

Li Qun returned to Jiang Yifan's office somewhat dejectedly, looked at Jiujiuchi Rikuto and Jiang Yifan and said:

"Reporting to Captain Jiujiuchi and Section Chief Shimabashi! The situation is not good. So far, we have not caught a single underground guerrilla. I am afraid our operation may fail again."

"Think about it again, could there be something wrong?" Jiuchi Rikuto looked at Li Qun with a little surprise and offered some advice.

Jiang Yifan also asked seriously:

"Could it be that there is something wrong with the judgment? The underground party guerrillas have not moved to Shanghai at all? Even if they have moved to Shanghai, can they solve their own problems of eating, drinking, defecating and urinating?"

Li Qun had no answer after hearing this and could only fall into deep silence.

At this time, Yuan Cheng, disguised as Agent No. 76, came to the Chinese area with a dozen people and searched house by house.

When he passed by Zijingshan Park, he walked in and took out a piece of new information from a dead mailbox.

When he reached a deserted place, he quickly opened the note:

Just received intelligence! Tonight's internal screening password is: Daytime - Red Night!

After reading the information, Yuan Cheng instantly panicked.

This information is too urgent, we must find a way to pass it on quickly.

So Yuan Cheng swallowed the note in one gulp and left in a hurry.

He took a dozen underground guerrillas to an alley and issued an urgent order:

"The internal identification password must be notified to everyone as quickly as possible: Daytime - Red Night."
