Chapter 416 Tanaka's Fear

Sake tavern.

Tanaka Daiei knelt beside the low table, drinking wine and reading the newspaper leisurely.

On the surface, it didn't seem like he cared much about this operation, but in fact, he was already very much looking forward to catching the eavesdropper.

Assuming this eavesdropper wasn't an insider, and was able to quietly infiltrate the Special High Technology Department and install a bug in the section chief's office, how could such a person be a simple character? Not only must he be highly skilled, but he must also be incredibly bold and meticulous!

The intense sound of submachine gunfire that could be heard faintly in the distance caused a slight change in the expression on Tanaka Daiei's face.

The gunfire continued intermittently for a few minutes before stopping.

Tanaka Daiei stayed in the sake tavern waiting for his agents to come in and report the situation, but time passed little by little, until half an hour after the gunfire completely stopped, and still no agent came in to report the arrest.

He looked at his watch and saw that another five minutes had passed. Tanaka Daiei could no longer sit still. He immediately stood up, opened the door, and shouted to the agent standing guard outside, "Hey, come here!"

A secret agent immediately came over: "Section Chief!"

"Did Naoto Yamashita send someone to report the arrest?" asked Daiei Tanaka.

The agent replied: "Not yet!"

Tanaka Daiei thought for a moment and then ordered, "Go over there right away and report to me immediately if anything happens!"

"Hi!"

More than ten minutes later, the owner of the sake tavern knocked on the door: "Mr. Tanaka, there's a call from the counter outside for you!"

Tanaka Daiei immediately left the room and went to the counter to pick up the phone: "Moshimoshi!"

The voice of one of his agents came over the phone: "Section Chief Tanaka, I've been to the arrest scene, but Captain Yamashita Naoto and his men are all gone. There are no bodies or guns, but there are a lot of bullet casings. There are traces of grenade explosions and a lot of blood in the room and stairwell!"

"In addition, I also saw bloodstains and bullet casings on the ground downstairs and behind this residential building!"

Tanaka Daiei frowned after hearing this: "Yamashita Naoto and the others weren't there?"

"no!"

"Is there anyone else at the scene?" Tanaka Daiei asked again.

"There's no one else here. There are a few people in other rooms of this residential building, but they're all frightened by the gunfight and are hiding in their houses, not daring to come out!"

A huge doubt arose in Tanaka Daiei's mind. It was impossible that Yamashita Naoto did not call him to report after the operation was completed, but now he was missing. What was going on?

He immediately asked again: "Go and see if their vehicle is still there!"

"The vehicles are gone, all of them are gone!"

"What? The vehicles are gone?"

"Yes!"

Tanaka Daiei seemed to have thought of something and immediately said, "Go to 2109 and 3274 right now. Regardless of whether you have found Yamashita Naoto and the others, you must come to me at this location. I will rush over immediately! If you don't find Yamashita Naoto and the others, don't alarm the people in the house and come back to me directly!"

These two locations were the residences of the other two suspects. Tanaka Daiei thought that Yamashita Naoto might be eager to make a contribution and wanted to capture the other two before reporting the results to him.

"Hi!"

After hanging up the phone, Tanaka Daiei immediately drove over with two agents.

In just 5 or 6 minutes, Tanaka Daiei brought two agents to the residential building where Yamashita Naoto and his men were arresting Zhang Yunhe.

At this time, many nearby residents had gathered around the residential building and were talking about it.

When they saw Tanaka Daiei wearing a military uniform, a gun on his waist, and a Japanese sword hanging on his back, the residents who were talking just now all scattered, and the area around the residential building was suddenly empty.

Tanaka Daiei didn't care about the reactions of the residents. He walked to the door downstairs, took off his white gloves, squatted down and looked at the two pools of blood on the ground.

Apart from the bloodstains, no bullet casings were found on the ground around them, which meant that the owner of these two pools of blood didn't even have the chance to shoot!

He got up and walked to the back door of the residential building, where he also found two pools of blood, but this time he found several bullet casings at the corner of the building.

"It's the shell of a Thompson submachine gun!" said a spy next to him.

Tanaka Daiei picked up a bullet casing and put it under his nostrils to smell it. It had a strong smell of gunpowder smoke, which meant it had just been fired.

Another spy walked around and came back to Tanaka Daiei and said, "Chief, we haven't found any other clues!"

Tanaka Daiei got up and took the two agents back to the door of the residential building and was about to go in when the agent who called him ran back panting.

"Section Chief, I just went to No. 2109 and No. 3274, the places you mentioned, but I didn't see Captain Yamashita Naoto and his men."

This was completely beyond Tanaka Daiei's expectations. He felt that something must have happened to Yamashita Naoto and others, otherwise these dozen people would not have lost contact after the gunfight.

Tanaka Daiei immediately said to the spy, "Go outside and tell Corey my order to dispatch a team of men. Also, call the military police and the police station and ask them to send reinforcements!"

"Hi!"

Normally, when a gunfight broke out, the police station should have been the first to arrive. However, the patrolmen on the street saw that a large number of Special High Technology Bureau personnel appeared here, so they notified the police station. The police station was tactful and did not join in the fun. Who knew that such a big thing would happen this time.

After entering the residential building, Tanaka Daiei brought two agents to the stairs on the third floor, where they saw a large amount of blood and bullet casings, as well as traces of grenade explosions. There were also many bullet holes on the walls, but the place was empty, with no one there and no bodies in sight.

After entering the room, the traces and damage of gun battles and grenade explosions became more obvious. There were bullet holes everywhere on the walls, and many small shrapnel were embedded in the walls. A hole was blown out on the ground, and there was dust, cement and brick fragments everywhere. The furniture was also torn to pieces by bullets and explosions.

Not long after, a secret agent came to report: "Chief, the Second Action Team of the Section has arrived, and the military police and the police station have also arrived at the same time.

Tanaka Daiei immediately went downstairs to group these people and assign them individuals, leaving a team to investigate and interview other residents in the building and nearby to see if any witnesses could be found.

He sent two other teams to capture the two suspects who lived at No. 2109 and No. 3274 respectively.

Not long after, gunshots were heard from a residential building in the distance. There were only a few gunshots and then it ended. No gunshots were heard from another place, but the arrest process was also thrilling. The suspect tried to escape but was blocked by the agents who were ambushing outside the window.

"Chief, the suspect at No. 2109 exchanged fire with us when he resisted arrest and was killed on the spot; and the suspect living at No. 3274 was caught alive, and we judge he must be a member of the underground party!" A spy ran over to report to Tanaka.

Although he killed one and captured another, Tanaka Daiei was not happy at all, because he had sent many people to look for Yamashita Naoto's group, but so much time had passed and there was still no news of them. This made Tanaka Daiei more convinced that his judgment was correct and Yamashita Naoto and his group were probably finished.

But what kind of power could make all the dozen or so people including Yamashita Naoto disappear? Thinking of this, Tanaka Daiei couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
