Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning

Chapter 436 Masako's Suspicion

After ending the call with Akamatsu, Zhang Yunhe was wondering what the old Japanese wanted him to do at night when the Tiexue computer prompted that a virtual dial-up call was coming in.

He got up, went into the bathroom, closed the door, and then answered the phone.

"To cut a long story short, tell me, what's the matter?"

The call was from Ma Dazhi. "Yu Shuinong asked us to continue investigating the attack on the Japanese fleet. He also sent us 50,000 French francs. Apart from the 10,000 you spent on the information, the rest is a bonus for us!"

Zhang Yunhe chuckled when he heard this: "This guy is a little more generous this time. Is there anything else?"

Ma Dazhi said, "I think it would be best if you were to keep our bank account passbook. I'm worried that if I take the passbook and account number, the Special High Technology Department and Unit 76 might find out where the funds came from!"

Zhang Yunhe said, "No need. If you feel it's unsafe for you to keep the account, then stop using that account. I'll open another one in a foreign bank. From now on, all our activity funding transactions with the Blue Shirts Society will be done via overseas wire transfers. Once I've opened the account, I'll notify Yu Shuinong!"

In fact, Zhang Yunhe also knew that he could only open an account in a foreign bank for another two years. By the time the Japanese took over the concession, even powerful foreign banks such as HSBC and Citibank would be confiscated by the Japanese, and the foreign executives of the banks would be arrested and detained.

"Okay, how can I give you the 50,000 yuan?" asked Ma Dazhi on the other end of the phone.

Zhang Yunhe said, "You keep some for yourself, and wire the rest to this account at HSBC...just deduct the remittance fee from this amount!"

The last time he was on a mission in Hong Kong Island, Zhang Yunhe opened an account at HSBC there to prevent spies from investigating the flow of funds through the bank.

"understand!"

When it was almost time to get off work, Zhang Yunhe took the opportunity to go to the bathroom to call Azhen, who was watching over the fabric store, and told her that he would not be home for dinner and would be back later.

"Deputy Director, it's time to get off work!" Secretary Okura Zhihe came over to remind Zhang Yunhe.

Zhang Yunhe quickly reviewed a few documents and stood up, saying, "I'm going to meet Consul Chisong later. You don't have to follow me. Go back and relax!"

"Hi!"

Not long after, Zhang Yunhe arrived at Masako Tavern by car.

When Yazi saw Zhang Yunhe coming, she ran over happily and hugged his arm: "Why did you come today? You didn't even call me before you came."

"miss you!"

Masako felt as happy as honey as she led Zhang Yunhe into a private room, and personally prepared three side dishes and a bottle of sake for him to drink.

Zhang Yunhe released the pressure accumulated over the past few days on Masako, and felt very relaxed, drinking tea and smoking.

Mrs. Masako, lying nearby, asked curiously and with a puzzled look on her face, "Why aren't you wearing a loincloth? And why aren't your calves bowed?"

Zhang Yunhe broke out in a cold sweat and quickly responded, "I've never liked kneeling since I was a child, and I love sports, so my legs aren't obviously bowed. As for not wearing a loincloth, it's because I think it's not good for the body, especially for men!"

Mrs. Masako seemed to accept his explanation with reluctance.

"Your brother, Consul Chisong, wants to see me tonight. From his tone, it seems like there's something very important going on. Have you heard anything?" Zhang Yunhe immediately changed the subject, drinking tea and flicking the ash off his cigarette and asked.

Masako rested her head on Zhang Yunhe's lap, thought for a moment, and said, "There's a top-secret piece of information. Only three or five high-ranking officials in Shanghai know about it. Three days ago, a troop transport fleet was bound for Lin'an. It had 12 soldiers and an escort fleet of warships. That same night, in the early hours of the morning, the fleet lost contact!"

"I heard that Commander Matsui sent all his reconnaissance planes to the sea area where the fleet lost contact the next morning after receiving the telegram from home. However, the weather at sea has been very bad in the past few days, making aerial search very difficult. Two of the six reconnaissance planes were lost due to a storm at sea!"

"However, this morning, the search fleet dispatched by the country discovered some floating objects in a certain area of ​​the sea. These objects belonged to troop transports and warships. The search fleet discovered that these objects all had traces of explosions!"

Zhang Yunhe asked, "So the conclusion is that the fleet was attacked? And all the ships in the fleet were sunk?"

Masako nodded and said, "This is the only explanation at the moment. After all, the explosion proves that they were bombed or shelled by enemy ships! I think my brother asked you to come over because he wanted you to use the intelligence resources of the police station to investigate the foreigners and see if they have any information on this matter!"

The police station has a political department whose job is to collect intelligence from all parties in the concession. This department also has a special intelligence archive, which records the information of intelligence personnel from all parties active in the concession and some events on the intelligence front.

After bidding farewell to Mrs. Masako and leaving the sake bar, Zhang Yunhe went to the consulate to meet Akamatsu.

Akamatsu had just finished his meal and was wearing a loose kimono. He warmly greeted Zhang Yunhe: "Ishida-kun, let's go to the quiet room to talk, please!"

"Hi!"

The two of them came to the quiet room, and Akamatsu boiled water and made tea.

"Mr. Ishida, it has been more than a month since you took office as deputy director of the Concession Police Department. Are you familiar with all the work?" Akamatsu asked while making tea.

Zhang Yunhe pretended to be very respectful. "Please rest assured, Your Excellency Chisong, I have fully grasped most of the directly affiliated departments and patrol stations under the Police Department. Director Bao Daer is now no different from a puppet!"

"Yoshi!" Akamatsu smiled and nodded, saying, "I know your abilities and am very satisfied with your work performance. Keep up the good work. The empire needs talents like you!"

Zhang Yunhe opened his briefcase, took out a check, placed it on the coffee table, and pushed it across the table. "Thanks to Your Excellency Chisong's appreciation and recommendation, I was able to take this position and serve the empire. This is a small token of my appreciation. I'll pay you back every month!"

Chisong took a look at the amount on the check and felt even more satisfied with Zhang Yunhe's performance.

He calmly put the check away and said, "It seems that Ishida-kun's work is indeed very effective. We come out to work for the Empire. On the one hand, in addition to serving the Empire and realizing our personal values, we can also satisfy our personal preferences and get promoted and make money. However, my purpose in sending you to the police station is not just to make money. Do you understand?"

Zhang Yunhe quickly lowered his head: "Hey! I will use my position and power to serve the empire!"

"Yoshi, let me ask you, are you familiar with the situation in the political department?" Akamatsu asked.

Zhang Yunhe said, "Sir, Robert from the Political Department is a stubborn guy. He's Davidson's confidant. I tried every possible way to coerce and bribe him, but he wouldn't budge. I had no choice but to bribe and intimidate two of his men and gain control of some of the Political Department's intelligence resources!"

Akamatsu nodded and said, "After all, the foreigners have been operating the concession for nearly a hundred years. Their power is deeply entrenched in the concession. It's normal that you can't fully control the police station in a short period of time. Take your time!"

"I asked you to come here tonight because of something!"

Zhang Yunhe lowered his head and said, "Please explain clearly, Your Excellency!"

As expected, Akamatsu told him about the attack on the troop transport fleet at sea, and asked him to use the intelligence power of the police station to investigate the foreign leaders in Shanghai and find out information related to this matter.
