Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police

"Your Excellency is wise." Hase nodded, "I also think this matter is quite strange.

Normally, even if it was an accidental injury, the treatment would mostly be at Huaxia Hospital or a church hospital, directly taken over by the Military Police Hospital, and it seems that he stayed there for quite a long time, which is definitely not ordinary treatment."

"Investigate!" Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao turned around and said in a firm tone: "Immediately send an encrypted inquiry telegram in my name to the Tianjin Military Police Headquarters.

"I need detailed information on Nankai University student Shen Suqiu's time in Tianjin, especially the injuries she suffered during the train station incident, her hospitalization, and her medical records before and after leaving Tianjin. This includes the name of the attending military doctor and her medical history. Quick!"

He needed to figure out whether this suddenly appearing Shen Suqiu was just a simple girl seeking refuge with her relatives, or a chess piece planted by some forces next to Xu Tian, ​​or even whether she had an unknown background.

Hase took the order and left quickly.

Zuo Zhenzhao sat back in his chair, twirling a string of Buddhist beads that he never took off with his fingertips.

Xu Tian is an extremely special existence on his chessboard. He was not only a gifted student in the past, but also a potential opponent who needs to be highly vigilant now.

Anyone and anything related to him must be examined under a magnifying glass.

Shen Suqiu's appearance was incredibly subtle, happening right after he'd put pressure on Xu Tian. Was it a coincidence, or some kind of coping strategy?

The wait for a call back seemed incredibly long.

Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao dealt with several unimportant daily reports, but his mind was always lingering on the telegram sent to Tianjin.

He anticipated many possible outcomes, perhaps that such a person did not exist, proving that Shen Suqiu's identity was fake.

Perhaps his files were complete and he was indeed an ordinary student. Although that would eliminate some doubts, the special treatment he received when he was injured and hospitalized still needed to be explained.

However, a few hours later, the result of the call back from Hase was completely beyond Kagesa Tadaaki's expectations.

The call back did not come from the ordinary archives department of the Tianjin Military Police Headquarters, but was signed by a name that made his pupils shrink slightly, Nanzō Yunko.

The message was extremely brief, even carrying an undeniable arrogance:

"Your Excellency Lieutenant Colonel Yingzuo, regarding the Shen Suqiu incident, after investigation, everything is normal and there is nothing wrong.

There is no need for you to delve into this person's situation.

I hope you will focus on your duties as an observer of the dispatched force, cooperate with Chief of Staff Nakamura in handling Shanghai affairs, and avoid unnecessary complications.

Yunzi is made in the south. "

Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao held the telegram paper in his hand. There was no mention of the detailed file he wanted. Instead, he got a perfunctory "everything is normal" and an implicit warning "don't make things more complicated"!

Nanzō Yunko... Why would this female spy chief of the military police system, active in North China and rumored to be ruthless and with a complicated background, personally intervene in the interrogation of an ordinary female student?

And such a tough attitude?

"Sir, this..." Hase also looked confused and uneasy. "Section Chief Minamizo's call back... seems to have a hidden meaning."

Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He read the telegram several times, his mind racing.

Nanzō Yunko's reaction not only failed to dispel his doubts, but instead cast a thicker shadow over Shen Suqiu's background.

"Everything is normal" may actually mean "extremely abnormal".

The Tianjin Military Police Headquarters, or rather, Nanzō Yunko herself, was deliberately concealing certain information about Shen Suqiu.

This cover-up itself is a strong signal.

"Could it be... that this Shen Suqiu is from the Special High Section?" Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao muttered to himself.

This is the most direct inference.

If Shen Suqiu was an agent directly controlled or protected by Nanzō Yunko, then it was understandable that she warned herself, an "outsider", not to interfere.

Perhaps this is another hidden line from Tianjin against Shanghai and Xu Tian?

But Nanzō Yunko was far away in Tianjin, how could she know Xu Tian?

And if that was the case, Nanzō Yunko wouldn't have had to be so blunt. She could have simply provided a fake, clean file. Her response, which was almost hostile to her, seemed strange, as if she was trying to hide something, or even... carrying some personal emotions?

"We can't afford to offend the Military Police Headquarters." Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao said to Hase, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Since Nanzō Yunzi has said this, we can no longer openly forcefully investigate Shen Suqiu's background in Tianjin."

But this doesn't mean giving up.

The more obstacles and doubts Kagesa Tadaaki encountered, the stronger his desire to explore became.

This may be a common problem among intelligence personnel: curiosity, suspicion, and the desire to find out the truth. . . .

"Hase." He lowered his voice: "If the open approach doesn't work, then we'll try covertly. Send in more capable personnel to closely monitor Tongfuli 24 hours a day, focusing on Shen Suqiu's every move.

She tried her best to record who she met, where she went, what she bought, and even every conversation with Xu Tian, ​​Xu's mother, and Tian Dan.

At the same time, we will mobilize all our non-obvious channels in Tianjin.

Secretly inquire whether there were any special rumors before and after the train station incident from the end of last year to the beginning of this year, especially rumors related to the female students of Nankai University or special patients in the Military Police Hospital.

Remember, keep it absolutely confidential and don't leave any traces pointing to us."

"Hey!" Hase bowed, but did not retreat immediately. Instead, he said cautiously, "But sir, we are doing something under the nose of the Military Police Headquarters. If we are discovered... wouldn't we... be killed!"

"Idiot, that's why I asked you to investigate secretly and leave no traces! If people find out, I will definitely throw you out! Do you understand?" Yingzuo Zhenzhao knocked Hase's head weakly and said in a deep voice.

"Hey! I understand!" Hase didn't dare to say more, his face turned pale, and he quickly retreated to make arrangements.

As for whether he cursed Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao in his heart as a human being, I don’t know...

Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao walked to the window, and the rain was still heavy.

He vaguely felt that behind Shen Suqiu's unexpected "thorn" might be a hidden thread that he had not yet seen clearly.

At the same time, in the military police headquarters far away in Tianjin, after finishing her daily affairs, Nanzō Yunko thought of the tactless inquiry telegram from Kagesa Tadaaki, and a sarcastic sneer flashed across her lips.

She picked up a pen and quickly drafted a secret telegram to Shanghai, the recipient of which was Itai Yudai.

The message carried her characteristic half-hearted, half-serious tone of sarcasm:

"Itai-kun, I have nothing to do, so I'd like to tell you an interesting story.

The Miss Shen from Nankai University, Shen Suqiu, whom you once met by chance and took good care of, has recently taken a foreign ship south and is currently staying at her cousin's home in Shanghai to recuperate.

His cousin seemed to be an ordinary accountant in the French Concession, named Xu Tian.

Shanghai is a city of mixed people. I hope you can take some time to "take care" of her and prevent her from being affected by the storm again, so as to avoid... bringing up the past and causing unnecessary worries.

Yunzi."
