Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police

Masaki Yamaya's eyes swept back and forth over Kagesa Tadaaki, taking in every detail, from his slightly messy temples to his slightly trembling fingers.

Until beads of sweat oozed out of Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao's forehead, he spoke slowly:

"Oh?" Yamaya Masaki deliberately dragged out the last word. "I see. So, is there some important military matter that has brought you here this time? Could it be... that you want to meet our general?"

"No, no, no!" Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao waved his hands repeatedly as if he was electrocuted, his waist was bent so much that it almost broke. His humble posture did not look like a lieutenant colonel at all, but more like a new recruit who had just joined the army.

"How dare I bother Lord Yingqi?"

He swallowed, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, and lowered his voice a bit: "I'm taking the liberty of visiting you today, just to ask Mr. Shan Gu... if you could help pass on a message."

When he said the last few words, his voice was almost inaudible, but his eyes were always fixed on the valley's reaction.

"Actually..." Yamaya Masaki rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully, "If you want to see the general, I can pass on the message. Our general is a kind man. Last time, he specifically instructed not to implicate innocent people, so he made an exception and released you."

"That's really not necessary!" Kagesa Tadaaki shook his head like a rattle. "To be honest, I've made the bold move to come here to ask the military police for a small favor. If Yami-kun could ask General Takazaki for my permission, I'd be deeply grateful, regardless of whether General Takazaki agrees or not."

As he spoke, he took out a manila envelope from his briefcase and handed it over respectfully with both hands.

Masaki Yamaya took the envelope, twisted it lightly with his fingertips, and felt the unique thickness and texture of the paper.

He calmly used his thumb to pry open a corner of the envelope, and sure enough, it contained a stack of brand new Japanese yen bills, which shone with a bluish-white luster in the sunlight. It was worth about one thousand yuan.

"What does this mean?" Yamaguchi Masaki raised his eyebrows. "If it's too difficult, this gift..." He deliberately dragged out his tone, "I dare not accept it."

"It's definitely not a difficult task!" Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao hastily assured: "Please rest assured."

"Go ahead." Yamaguchi Masaki stuffed the envelope into his pocket and asked.

Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao straightened his body slightly, but still kept a slightly forward posture, and lowered his voice very low: "Ever since the Doihara incident... I was transferred back to the mainland to reflect.

I received a new task a few days ago and need to return to Shanghai.

But you also know that Shanghai nowadays... "

Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao paused, took out a snow-white handkerchief from his pocket, and carefully wiped the sweat beads that continued to seep out of his forehead.

A corner of the handkerchief was soon soaked. "I contacted my former colleagues at the consulate, and they all said that Hongkou was in a mess. The Chinese attacks were very fierce, and there were exchanges of fire almost every day. It was said that..." He looked around and said, "Hongkou is in danger of being captured at any time.

But I have a mission to accomplish, so I have to go."

Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao took a deep breath and continued, "I heard that the Military Police Headquarters sent people to Shanghai to provide assistance, so I was wondering... could I register with you?" His eyes flashed with anticipation. "That way, when I get to Shanghai, I'll have someone to look after me."

"Just in name only?" Yamaya Masaki suddenly laughed. "Do you want the military police to be your bodyguards?"

The corners of Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao's mouth twitched slightly, but he soon smiled again: "I dare not! It's just... I don't have any connections in the navy. If the situation in Shanghai changes, I won't have a way to retreat, so I thought of joining the military police headquarters in name only.

If the situation changes, the Navy will allow me to board the ship for safe haven."

"Hehe, Lieutenant Colonel Yingzuo, you are too timid, but your intelligence work is quite outstanding. Although it is no secret that our military police headquarters sent people to Shanghai, you are quite well-informed about the information." Yamatani Masaki said with a chuckle.

"Please don't misunderstand me. I just heard it from others and didn't mean to ask about it specifically. Please don't misunderstand me." Yingzuo was explaining quickly.

"It's okay. If you have connections and ways to find out, it's your business." Yamaya Masaki smiled and waved his hand, then continued, "I can ask the general about this for you. Wait here for a moment. The general is in his office right now."

"Oh! That's great, I'll wait here." Yingzuo Zhenzhao said excitedly.

"Well, wait."

After saying this, Masaki Yamaya turned and walked into the iron gate of the headquarters.

After Yamaguchi Masaki disappeared, an officer with the rank of major stepped forward from behind Kagesa Tadaaki and said in a low voice, "Sir, I don't understand why you are so...humble to a mere lieutenant."

Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao slowly turned around, and the flattering smile on his face faded like the tide.

He adjusted the collar of his uniform, his eyes suddenly sharp. "Lieutenant?" He chuckled, his voice tinged with ice. "Major Haruki, are you questioning my judgment? Do you think I can't tell who to please and who to ignore?"

Qingqi Qingyin's face suddenly changed. He immediately put his heels together and bowed ninety degrees: "I dare not!"

Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao waved his hand and cast his eyes in the direction where Shan Shan Zheng Shu left in the distance: "It's not your fault. Although you are an intelligence elite of the General Staff Headquarters, you have been operating in southern China for the past few years, so it is inevitable that you are isolated from the news."

Qingqi Qingyin raised his head, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"The lieutenant you just looked down upon." Kagesa Tadaaki pulled out a silk handkerchief from his bosom and slowly wiped his glasses. "His name is Yamaya Masaki, Yamaya of the Yamaya family!"

"Tani...?" Qingqi Qingyin's eyes suddenly widened. "Could it be the Yami family in Niihama, Ehime Prefecture?"

A sneer curled up the corner of Kagesa Tadaaki's mouth: "Finally, I got it." He put his glasses back on his nose, and his eyes behind the lenses became deep: "Since the Meiji Restoration, the Yamaguchi family has transformed into a business, relying on the aristocratic network to rise rapidly.

Now their industries cover machinery, electricity, and chemical industries. . . . "

With each word he spoke, he took a step forward, forcing Qingqi Qingyin to retreat unconsciously. "The wires and bearings produced are military supplies. The factory can even provide parts for the warships of the Combined Fleet."

As he took his last step, he whispered into Qingqi Qingyin's ear, "And the one just now was the second son of the main family of the Yamiyama family."

Qingqi Qingyin's Adam's apple rolled, and beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead: "But...but he is just a lieutenant...and he looks..."
