Spy Wars: Playboy? I'm the best agent!

They first came to a large gold shop.

The store is beautifully decorated, and various exquisite gold jewelry are displayed on the counter.

Chen Shen and Yu Manli explained their purpose to the store clerk, who then invited the experienced master chef from the store.

The old master took the damaged little thing, put on his reading glasses, observed it carefully for a long time, and finally shook his head and said.

"This thing is so badly damaged that I can't even tell what it was like before. I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do to fix it."

Chen Shen and Yu Manli were a little disappointed, but they still thanked him politely and turned to leave.

Then they went into another gold shop, which was smaller, but the owner looked very shrewd.

The shop owner took the little thing and looked at it over and over for a long time, but finally said helplessly that he couldn't see it.

In this way, they went to several gold shops in succession and got the same answer.

The sky gradually darkened, and Chen Shen and Yu Manli walked on the side of the road, dejected.

Yu Manli kicked the stones on the roadside and complained.

"I've been to so many places, but I still don't have any clues."

Chen took a deep breath and said.

"Don't lose heart, there may still be hope."

Yu Manli sighed and said.

"What should I do? Should I just give up like this?"

Chen Shen was silent for a while and said.

"Let's go back and think of a solution first. Maybe we can find a breakthrough from other aspects."

The two of them dragged their tired bodies and slowly walked back.

The next day, Chen Shen and Yu Manli did not give up and continued looking for clues.

They expanded their search area and even went to some small gold shops in remote alleys.

In an inconspicuous small gold shop, the owner is an old man over fifty years old.

He took the little thing, looked at it for a long time, and a hesitant look appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Chen Shen and Yu Manli felt a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

Chen Shen asked hurriedly.

"Master, do you see anything?"

The old man frowned and said.

"This thing... looks a bit like a brooch I saw when I was young, but I'm not sure."

Chen Shen and Yu Manli looked at each other, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

Yu Manli asked anxiously, "Master, please think about it again."

The old man looked at it carefully again and said.

"It's been too long, and I can't remember clearly, but I just think it's a bit similar."

Although it was just a vague clue, it was a little hope for Chen Shen and Yu Manli.

After they left the gold shop, they continued to investigate along this clue.

After several days of hard work, they finally found some clues about the brooch.

It turns out that this brooch is a custom-made item within a specific organization.

Chen Shen and Yu Manli followed this clue and gradually approached the truth.

After hearing what Chen Shen said, Yu Manli showed a look of doubt on her face.

She asked, frowning slightly.

"Chen Shen, if it was the Military Control Commission or the Communist Party, they both fought to resist the Japanese. Why bother investigating so much? Wouldn't it be better to just brush it off?"

Chen Shen's eyes became deep and serious. He looked at Yu Manli and spoke slowly.

"Manli, I can't. If I just do this half-heartedly, I might lose my position at No. 76. You have to understand, in this place, even the slightest mistake can lead to ruin. Furthermore, I have to find someone to be a scapegoat. This will demonstrate my exceptional abilities and earn the trust of those above me. Furthermore, all of this has to be logical, otherwise it's all empty talk. You should know how hard it has been for me to get to this position today."

Yu Manli listened to Chen Shen's explanation and nodded thoughtfully.

A hint of determination flashed in Chen Shen's eyes, and he continued.

"Besides, I already have a candidate. Since Kagesa Tadaaki said he has no one around him he can trust, then let him be completely without anyone around him. And I previously found out that this warehouse is managed by a pro-Japanese faction, commonly known as a traitor. So, let him be the scapegoat."

Yu Manli understood Chen Shen's plan and responded.

"Okay, Chen Shen, I understand."

Chen Shen said.

"Manli, please go and investigate the main background of that traitor."

Yu Manli answered firmly.

"Don't worry, Chen Shen."

That night, Yu Manli began her investigation.

She changed into a black outfit that was easy to move in, and her figure moved through the night like a ghost.

She first came to the pub frequented by the traitor and quietly observed the movements around her.

The pub was filled with noise and smoke. Yu Manli's eyes were sharp and she did not miss any potentially useful clues.

After a while, a man who seemed to be familiar with the traitor walked in.

Yu Manli followed him calmly, sat down at the table next to the man, and listened attentively to their conversation.

I only heard that person say.

"That guy has been very powerful recently. He's been able to gain a lot of benefits by relying on the power of the Japanese."

Another person responded.

"That's right. I heard he was just a street thug before. I don't know how he got lucky enough to be ingratiated with the Japanese."

Yu Manli secretly took note of this information.

Then, she wandered to the traitor's residence. It was already late at night and all around was silent.

Yu Manli carefully avoided the patrolmen and climbed into the yard of the traitor's house.

She quietly sneaked into the room and began to search for useful documents and materials.

In a drawer, she found some letters recording the details of the collusion between the traitors and the Japanese.

Yu Manli was also cautious. Since Chen Shen was holding a small gold object, she found the jewelry box and took away a small gold ring inside.

Yu Manli put away these important evidences and left quickly.

The next day, Yu Manli went directly to No. 76 and did not go home.

She hadn't slept all night and was so tired that she fell asleep on the desk as soon as she entered Chen Shen's office.

Chen Shen walked into the office and saw Yu Manli sleeping on the table, and a trace of pity welled up in his heart.

He didn't disturb her, gently draped his clothes over her, and then sat on the sofa next to her to deal with documents.

After a while, Yu Manli woke up, stretched herself, and looked sleepy.

When she saw Chen Shen beside her, she instantly came to her senses.

"Chen Shen, I have clarified all the details of the investigation."

Yu Manli said.

Chen Shen put down the documents in his hand and listened to her carefully.

Yu Manli said.

"That traitor's name is Li Fu. He was originally a street thug with no background. Later, through some unknown means, he got to know the Japanese and started working for them. He helped the Japanese plunder a lot of the people's wealth, and the people hated him to the core. Moreover, I have found some evidence of his collusion with the Japanese."
