"Miss Huizi, we are so happy to see you back. Are you injured? Someone, take Miss Huizi to the hospital!"

Under Akao Hirokazu's order, several secret agents drove Minamizō Keiko to the Army Hospital for treatment, and he also followed.

In the ward of the Army Hospital, Akao Hiroichi listened to Minamizō Keiko's detailed account of the events leading up to the arrest of the Blue Shirts Society members last night.

"We've learned that someone bombarded the east entrance to Willow Alley. The technical staff investigated the scene and discovered traces of a mortar explosion. Furthermore, the two small gunboats we dispatched to the river were also bombarded!"

Akao Hiroichi then asked, "You're saying that after someone bombarded the alley entrance, you suffered heavy casualties, and then dozens of Blue Shirts rushed out, and you couldn't resist them, so you dispersed and retreated?"

"Yes!" Minamizō Keiko replied, "After the bombardment, there were only five of us still able to run, including me. We fought as we retreated, but the enemy was too numerous, so we had to disperse. I fled to the riverbank and tried to swim to the gunboat, but because of my severe injuries, I lost consciousness as soon as I entered the water!"

"By the way, Chief, how are the others?"

Akao Hiroichi sighed and said, "Everyone is dead except you!"

"No, impossible!" Nanzō Keiko's face changed drastically. "Isn't there another team sent to hunt down the person who fired the cannon?"

"They are all dead. The goods in Zhang Yaolin's warehouse are gone. The guards stationed in the warehouse and several of our spies are all missing!" said Akao Hirokazu.

Minamizō Keiko hesitated for a moment as a thought struck her. "The guards and our Special High Technology Division personnel who vanished from the warehouse last night...seem to be similar to the disappearance of all the Special High Technology Division night shift personnel a few days ago. The two incidents seem incredibly similar. Could they be the work of the same group?"

Akao Hiroichi was pleased with Minamizō Keiko's sharpness. He nodded and said, "We also suspect that these two incidents are related, so we will merge the two cases into one and have Tanaka Daiei investigate!"

"You are injured. Stay in the hospital for the next few days to recuperate. Return to work at the Special High Technology Department after you recover!"

"Thank you, Chief Akao. I will take good care of my injuries and be discharged from the hospital and go back to work as soon as possible!" said Keiko Minamizō.

Akao Hiroichi left the ward with his secretary and returned to the Special High Technology Department. As he walked downstairs, he asked his secretary, "Do you think what Miss Keiko said is credible?"

The secretary was quite surprised and shocked: "Your Excellency, are you doubting... That's impossible. She has infiltrated the Chinese high-level officials and has brought back a lot of extremely confidential military intelligence!"

When Akao Hiroshi heard his secretary say this, he smiled and waved his hand: "I'm just asking casually!"

The secretary's heart was in turmoil. He felt that the possibility of Minamizō Keiko betraying the country and surrendering to the enemy was really slim, or even impossible. But more than 200 people were dispatched last night, and she was the only one who came back alive. This... inevitably made people think in a bad direction.

Although he was not a professional spy, he had received some special agent training before becoming Akao Hiroichi's secretary, and he knew that in this line of work, there was no one who could be absolutely trusted.

When the car drove to the gate of the Special High Technology Bureau, Hirokazu Akao saw a man behaving very stealthily. He recognized him at a glance. It was an informant he had developed in the gang, named Liao Qi!

"Stop the car!" Akao Hiroichi shouted immediately.

"Squeak--" The car stopped beside Liao Qi, which scared Liao Qi who was looking into the yard of the Special High Technology Bureau.

The backseat window opened, revealing Akao Hongyi's face. "Liao-san, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Liao San looked at the secretary in the passenger seat and the driver in the driver's seat, hesitated for a moment and did not speak.

Akao Hirokazu immediately understood Liao Qi's concerns and sent the driver and secretary into the Special High Technology Department. He got into the driver's seat and asked Liao Qi to get in the car. The car did not enter the Special High Technology Department, but continued to drive forward.

"Mr. Liao, you came to see me today. Do you have any information to report to me?" Akao Hirokazu asked while driving.

Liao Qi rested his arms on the passenger seat and said, "Akao-taijun, I don't know if this information is useful to you. Last night, our boss and I were having dinner and drinks at a tavern. When we went to the restroom, we heard two people whispering about something. They said there was a large arms deal going on at the Dafeng Warehouse tonight. The amount of arms was enough to equip an entire division!"

The car stopped on the side of the street. The information brought by Liao Qi made Akao Hiroichi take it very seriously. The arms deal, which could equip an entire division, involved an enormous amount of arms and money.

And there is no doubt that if this arms transaction is successful and transported away by the buyer, it will definitely fall into the hands of the army belonging to Jiangzhou, which will cause great trouble to the subsequent attacks of the Japanese army!

"Do you know the identities of those two people?" asked Akao Hirokazu.

Liao Qi said: "I don't know, and I haven't seen it!"

Akao Hiroichi asked again: "Do you know the specific time of the transaction?"

"Well... I don't know, but it must be tonight. They didn't tell me the specific time, so I didn't ask!" Liao Qi replied.

Akao Hiroichi frowned at first, but soon relaxed. He smiled, took out a stack of money from his pocket, counted out five bills, handed them to Liao Qi, and said, "Mr. Liao, thank you for coming to tell me the news. This money is a reward for you!"

When Liao Qi saw the huge amount of money, which was five hundred French francs, he quickly reached out to take it, saying, "Thank you, Akao Taijun!"

Akao Hirokazu then retracted his hand that was about to be paid and said, "I have another task for you. Since those two were drinking in that pub, they are probably regulars there. I want you to go to that pub every day from today on. If you see them again, don't tell anyone but call me secretly!"

"As long as you can do this well, I will give you this much money again when I catch those two people!"

"Hayi, Hayi!" Liao Qi quickly agreed with a smile and took the five hundred French francs from Akao Hirokazu's hand.

After sending Liao Qi away, Akao Hiroichi immediately drove back to the Special High Technology Department.

He returned to his office and immediately went to the map hanging on the wall to look for the location of Dafeng Warehouse.

Dafeng Warehouse is not well-known. It is just a small warehouse that cannot be found on the map. If you don’t ask a gangster like Liao Qi, most people really don’t know where Dafeng Warehouse is.

According to the approximate direction mentioned by Liao Qi, Akao Hiroichi drew a circle on the map at a location near the river. The circle was located at the Dafeng Warehouse.

Then he called the gendarmerie on the intercom.

"This is Akao Hiroichi, Captain Aida, please answer the phone!"
