Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police

Gendarmerie Headquarters.

Nanzō Yunko stood in front of the desk and placed a document in front of Zhou Zhengqing.

"General, this is the information that Horiuchi Kanjo sent to the Special High Section. What do you think I should do? Should I cooperate with the consulate and take action?" Nanzō Yunko kept a close eye on Zhou Zhengqing's expression as she spoke.

Zhou Zhengqing, who was sitting behind his desk, was feeling a little exhausted by the pressure of work.

He couldn't help but rub his brows, rubbing his knuckles there, as if trying to dispel the complicated thoughts.

Then, he reached out and slowly spread out the information.

Several names came into view, some Japanese and some Chinese.

"Yunzi, who do you think is the most likely among these people?" After reading the information, Zhou Zhengqing slowly raised his head and looked at Nan Zao Yunzi, with inquiry and doubt in his eyes.

This happened too suddenly. Jue Nei Gancheng suddenly came to seek help from the Special High Section, which gave Zhou Zhengqing a headache.

I couldn't help but secretly complain in my heart, why good things never happen to me, but troubles keep happening one after another.

I don't know what's going on. When I watched spy war dramas before, the protagonists handled things in an orderly manner and pushed the plot forward slowly. But when it comes to me, not only are there a lot of things to do, but there are always unexpected incidents of one kind or another.

He even envied the Japanese generals in TV dramas, who were always leisurely and comfortable, and occasionally took their men to listen to some music and enjoy life. On the other hand, he had endless documents to sign every day and was so busy that he was dizzy.

He felt as if he was back to working before he traveled through time, and was overwhelmed by all the affairs in the office.

Although he delegated power to Shunsuke Nakamura to help handle the daily affairs of the headquarters, he was still troubled by these trivial matters.

Just like this time, Ju Nei Gancheng suddenly ran over and said nervously that he suspected there was a Chinese undercover agent in the consulate and wanted the Special High Police to send someone to assist in the investigation.

Zhou Zhengqing instantly recalled that when he first arrived in Tianjin, the underground party behaved very strangely.

Jue Nei Gancheng must have thought carefully and considered the location of his headquarters for his own safety, given his identity, and he would never tell anyone about it.

Even if it is not 100% confidential, the general public certainly does not know the details.

But the underground party did open a bun shop nearby as a contact point earlier, which is very intriguing.

At that time, Zhou Zhengqing even suspected that there was something wrong with the excavation of the inner city, perhaps it was someone "from the inside".

After all, in this war-torn era, various forces are intertwined, and there are too many things that are intertwined with each other, and no one can predict them for sure.

But now it seems that I was overthinking it. Thinking of this, Zhou Zhengqing sighed softly and shook his head.

"General, after Takeda Koichi launched the massive manhunt, several people at the consulate have been acting somewhat erratically," Nanzō Yunko replied thoughtfully, one arm elegantly folded across her chest, the other gently stroking her smooth chin. "And from this incident, it seems Horiuchi Kanjou might not want the Garrison Intelligence Department's personnel interfering in the consulate's affairs. Their relationship isn't as harmonious as it appears."

Zhou Zhengqing scoffed, "They might have an undercover agent. No one wants to publicize a scandal like this. One is the Army Ministry, the other is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Ultimately, digging up the inner city walls is just for the sake of face, and it doesn't rise to the level of a relationship between them."

Nanzō Yunko smiled, her smile blooming like a flower in spring. "So that's how it is. The general has a keen eye for the higher levels and sees the crux of the matter immediately. Yunko still lacks this."

"Okay, stop flattering me. You wouldn't have guessed it?" Zhou Zhengqing pouted, reaching out to pick up the documents on the table and waving them around. "Tell me, among these people, who do you think is the undercover agent?"

Nanzō Yunko wasn't embarrassed by the revelation. She still had a smile on her face, but her eyes shone with confidence. "General, based on my status as a Special High Police Officer, three of these people are probably not Chinese. Of the remaining four Imperials, the Vice Consul of Horiuchi Kanjou is the most suspicious."

"Huh? Yunzi, what do you mean?" Zhou Zhengqing looked puzzled.

"General, the Japanese Consulate in Tianjin consists of a consul general, two consuls, several vice-consuls, and military attachés sent by the garrison.

In addition, there are three departments, three sections, and one agency: the General Affairs Department, the Economic Department, the Justice Department, the Accounting Department, the Telecommunications Department, the Documentation Department, and the Police Department. Later, the North Korea Department and the Epidemic Prevention Residents were added. The personnel in these departments are officially employed by the consulate. "Nanjō Yunko explained patiently, her tone calm.

"As for the list provided by Jue Nei Gan Cheng, these Chinese people all have experience studying abroad at the Imperial University, and most of them work as translators and menial workers. Jue Nei Gan Cheng's suspicions about them are simply because they've been away frequently recently. In my opinion, this actually proves that they are not problematic."

"Oh? I still don't quite understand." Zhou Zhengqing himself didn't understand intelligence work, but he put aside his pride and asked if he didn't understand, unlike other Japanese generals who put on airs even when they didn't understand.

"General, if you were arranging people to carry out undercover missions, would you send a few people who are full of loopholes? They may be suspected at any time, so what's the value of that? So the fact that they are so abnormal in this large-scale manhunt just shows that there is nothing wrong with them." Yunzi did not get complacent because of Zhou Zhengqing's amateurism. Instead, he patiently explained, his eyes revealing professionalism and confidence.

"That's not right. What if they did it on purpose? Doesn't China have the Thirty-Six Stratagems? They are very good at playing with people's hearts. How can Yunzi come to such a sure conclusion?" Zhou Zhengqing asked with a chuckle, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"General, not everyone sees things the same way you and I do. The empire also adheres to a saying that it is better to kill the wrong person than to let him go. So if they try to play with people's hearts, they will die miserably." Nanzō Yunko narrowed her peach blossom eyes into crescents and said with a smile that contained a hint of certainty.

"According to you, these three Chinese are innocent. Then why are you focusing your suspicions on this vice-consul? Have you investigated?" Zhou Zhengqing pointed at a name on the file, his eyes scrutinizing. "Hirajima Yu."

"No, I just received the information about the excavation of the Gancheng Castle and haven't started the investigation yet." Nanzō Yunko shook her head and said truthfully.

"You have a suspect without any investigation! That's a bit hasty, Yunzi." Zhou Zhengqing tapped the three words "Hirajima Yu" with his fingers, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

"General, you misunderstood me. When I said I suspected him, I meant that in my opinion, he has the highest value and has the best access to important intelligence. So I included him as a key suspect, but..." Nanzō Yunko's smile gradually faded, her expression became a little hesitant, and a complex look flashed in her eyes.

"Yunzi, do you still have concerns? Just tell me whatever you have. I won't blame you if you say something wrong." Zhou Zhengqing looked at Nanzhao Yunzi's serious face and said with a smile.

"General, as the head of the Special High Section, I will help you investigate and then report the conclusion to Jue Nei Gancheng." Nanzō Yunko's eyes moved slightly and passed across Zhou Zhengqing's face several times, giving people the feeling that she didn't dare to look at Zhou Zhengqing.

"What do you want to do?" Zhou Zhengqing also noticed that something was wrong with Nanzō Yunko and asked softly.

"Since Horiuchi Kanjou has his own suspects and is looking for us just to confirm them, then we at the Special High Section will do as he wishes and give him the results he wants." Nanzō Yunko lowered her voice.

"Do you mean to arrange false evidence?" Zhou Zhengqing frowned.

Nanzō Yunko lowered her head and remained silent for a moment before she slowly spoke, "General, the sudden appearance of so many suspected undercover agents in the consulate, and the suspicions that have arisen among Hori Kanjou, do you think this is normal?"

"Is this normal? Yunzi, what do you want to say?"

"General, with so many suspected undercover agents, why didn't they come out before? Why did they have to let Hori Kanjo notice them now?" Nanzō Yunko asked instead of answering.

Zhou Zhengqing was stunned for a moment, then a light bulb went off in his head, and he blurted out, "Undercover!"

"Yes, Yunzi thinks this is very unusual. Something must have happened at the consulate that we're not aware of. Perhaps a leak or something else." Nanzō Yunzi said seriously, "If there really is an undercover agent, then he's muddying the waters and hiding himself."

As for whether there were underground party undercover agents in the consulate, Zhou Zhengqing was more inclined to believe that there were.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the underground party's early opening of the bun shop. Now Nanzō Yunko had judged that the consulate was hiding an undercover agent based solely on the information sent by Horinai Gancheng, which made Zhou Zhengqing once again realize Nanzō Yunko's keen mind.

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

There was a knock on the door, breaking the tense atmosphere in the office.

"Enter."

Shunsuke Nakamura pushed open the office door and walked in. He looked a little unnatural, lowered his head slightly, and did not dare to look directly into Zhou Zhengqing's eyes.

"Mr. Nakamura, what's wrong?" Zhou Zhengqing asked, looking up with a frown on his face.

"General, the garrison headquarters just called me and asked me about the military police massacring their soldiers. Do you know what happened?" Shunsuke Nakamura asked in a low voice.

"What? Massacre of garrison soldiers?" Zhou Zhengqing was stunned, and then he suddenly remembered that Itai Yudai led a squadron of people out, saying that they were going to send teachers and students of Nankai University to the train.

"Has Banjing come back?" Zhou Zhengqing looked at Shunsuke Nakamura and asked, his brows furrowed into a "川" shape.

"No, do you need me to arrange someone to find him?" Nakamura Shunsuke also thought that the problem might be with Itai Yudai, and asked helplessly.
