Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning

"Ring ring..." In the dead of night, Ma Dazhi was awakened by a series of urgent phone rings.

He got up and answered the phone on the bedside table, saying, "Hello?"

"Boss, we're being watched. Not long after we shipped this batch of goods out of Liu Changhe's warehouse, I noticed someone was following us. I immediately had the grain convoy drive around the leased area, but we couldn't shake off the people watching us. What should we do now?" A middle-aged man's voice came through the phone.

Ma Dazhi narrowed his eyes as he listened and asked, "Could it be one of Liu Changhe's men?"

"It shouldn't be. Liu Changhe's men don't have the ability to stalk and track people like that. If I hadn't worked in this line of work, I wouldn't have been able to find out!" the middle-aged man said on the other end of the phone.

Ma Dazhi thought for a moment and said, "If it's not Liu Changhe's man, and he has professional tracking skills, then there's only one possibility: he's either a Special Higher Police agent or someone from the 76th Division, but he could also be an intelligence agent from another force!"

How many men do you have under your command? Are they all armed?

"Because I need to protect the grain transport convoy, I can only spare three men. If the other side is a professional special agent, I'm afraid my manpower won't be enough to deal with them!"

"Where are you now?"

"On Binsi Road!"

"Alright, you don't need to worry about the people keeping watch. Just keep the grain convoy circling around! I'll handle the people following us!"

"understand!"

After hanging up the phone, Ma Dazhi immediately dialed another number.

The phone rang more than a dozen times before being answered. "Hello? This is the duty room of the Chinese Police Operations Team of the Police Department!"

Ma Dazhi immediately said, "This is Ma Dazhi. Let Hong Tao answer the phone!"

"Ah, Chief Inspector? Yes, I'll have Captain Hong answer the phone right away."

Two minutes later, a rough voice came through the phone: "Hey, Brother Ma, what can I do for you calling so late?"

Ma Dazhi asked, "There's a convoy of transport vehicles on Binxi Road, and a few rats are following them. Now, immediately assemble the action team and rush over there as quickly as possible to catch those rats. Arrest them and lock them up for strict interrogation. I need to know the identities of these rats before dawn!"

"Yes, I'll take men there right now!"

"Call me and let me know after you catch them!"

"Yes!"

After hanging up the phone, Ma Dazhi lit a cigarette and muttered to himself, "Whether you're from the 76th Division or the Special Higher Police, it won't be so easy for you to investigate me on my turf. I'll knock out a few of your teeth!"

Less than an hour later, Ma Dazhi received a call from Hong Tao, the captain of the Chinese Police Action Team of the Police Department, saying that the people who were following him had been caught. There were two of them, both highly skilled martial artists, and they also had pistols. If he hadn't led the patrol team to surround them beforehand, it would have been difficult to catch them.

These two were quite tough. Hong Tao and his men interrogated them for several hours straight, until four o'clock in the morning, when the two spies finally couldn't endure the torture and confessed.

"Brother Ma, those two confessed. They are agents from the 76th Division. They started tracking the grain convoy from Liu Changhe's warehouse. Their superior is Wang Dabao from the 76th Division's First Operations Bureau. They also said that Li Qun was in a car outside Liu Changhe's warehouse at the time. It seems that Liu Changhe was being watched by the 76th Division."

"Brother Ma, what do we do now?"

Ma Dazhi considered for a moment and said, "Send someone to find the gossipmonger, Four-Eyed Snake, and tell him to come to the police station to see me as soon as it's light! Also, have the Liu family's informants keep an eye on Liu Changhe. Report any actions Liu Changhe takes or anything that happens at home immediately. Everyone else, stay put. As for whether to continue transporting grain today, we'll decide based on the situation. Wait for my notification!"

"Yes!"

After finishing his conversation with Hong Tao, Ma Dazhi lit another cigarette. Halfway through, he dialed Liu Changhe's home phone number.

"Hello, this is the Liu residence, who is this?"

Ma Dazhi said, "Have Liu Changhe come over to answer the phone, I need to talk to him about something important!"

"Uh, yes, yes, I'll go and wake the master up right away!"

Three minutes later, Liu Changhe's voice came through the phone: "This is Liu Changhe, who is this?"

“It’s me!” Ma Dazhi said in a deep voice.

"Uh—" Liu Changhe was taken aback. He hadn't expected Ma Dazhi to call at this time. He asked in a low voice, "Commander Ma, it's not even dawn yet. Why are you calling now...?"

Ma Dazhi didn't beat around the bush: "Do you know you're being watched? Last night, there were people from the 76th Division tailing your warehouse, and the spies were also watching my grain transport convoy. If my men hadn't been quick to spot the situation and report it to me in time, I'm afraid the 76th Division would already know the location of my warehouse!"

"What? How could this be? Why are the people from No. 76 interested in our business? This isn't their responsibility. I've already taken care of the anti-smuggling team; they definitely won't refuse me!" Liu Changhe exclaimed in shock.

Ma Dazhi said, "The Japanese troops on the front lines are now starving. Do you think they'll remain silent? Do you think the Japanese high command will be indifferent? They'll definitely investigate why they can't buy rice, and it wouldn't be surprising if they traced it back to you!"

"Hiss—this shouldn't be the case. Even if the 76th Division wanted to investigate, they should have started with the Grain Bureau, with You Shichang. If something happened to You Shichang, my people wouldn't still be able to get rice from him. This has been going on without interruption or any problems during this time!"

Ma Dazhi said, "There must be a problem with You Shichang, you just haven't noticed it. I guess the 76th Division acted quickly enough. After they arrested You Shichang, they pried him out of his mouth as fast as they could, and You Shichang confessed about you. Then they released You Shichang and let him continue to supply you with rice, which is why you didn't notice anything amiss."

Liu Changhe was quite worried: "Those guys from No. 76 are ruthless. They're capable of anything. Our business... maybe..."

Ma Dazhi immediately said, "Of course we should continue. We've only completed less than 100 shi out of a total of 20 million shi. If You Shichang continues to supply you with rice, you should accept it all! By the way, you still have his concubine and son, right?"

"No, I returned it to him more than ten days ago! Now I have no way to control him. If he cuts off the rice supply, I really can't do anything about it!"

Ma Dazhi said, "This kind of handover is too dangerous. Everything is being done right under the noses of the Japanese and the 76th Division. It's not surprising that they can smell the scent!"

"Find a way to secretly contact You Shichang and arrange for the transaction to take place elsewhere, preferably by the sea. This way, the transaction will be outside the jurisdiction of the Special Higher Police and the 76th Division, making it less likely for them to get wind of it, but our transaction will still be going on!"

"Also, have You Shichang replace him with someone else to do this. The original person is no longer reliable. Although he has been arrested by the 76th Division, the profit margin of this business is large enough. As long as he can still make money, he will not refuse you. Moreover, this method of transaction is safer and more reliable!"
