Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning

After studying the map for a while, Zhang Yunhe put it away and stuffed it into his pocket, then called to Ma Dazhi, "Come on, have some tea!"

The two exchanged views on the current situation in Shanghai and chatted for a few minutes.

Ma Dazhi added, "By the way, I've already sent a telegram to the Blue Shirts Society headquarters about the Japanese preparing to launch the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign. They said they received the news and were going to transfer some funds to our bank account, but I told them that the account had been closed and I didn't ask them to transfer the money!"

"I've already found someone in the French Concession to register a shell company, and then open a bank account in the name of the shell company. All future expenses will be deposited into the new shell company's account!"

After hearing this, Zhang Yunhe asked, "Why do we need to do it this way?"

Ma Dazhi said, "I received information that the Japanese are investigating all the assets of foreigners in the International Settlement, including the flow of funds in the accounts of depositors in various banks. If we continue to use that account, the Special Higher Police may find out about the problem!"

“Well done. The Japanese can’t reach the French Concession for the time being. Opening a bank account in the French Concession is relatively safer right now!” Zhang Yunhe nodded.

Ma Dazhi took a sip of tea and said, "The Blue Shirts headquarters mentioned something in their reply: they asked us to investigate the whereabouts of a wine merchant named William Gander."

"British?" Zhang Yunhe asked in surprise.

"Yes, I checked. This Gan De is 55 years old and a wine merchant. I was shocked when I found out that he is actually an MI6 agent!"

"MI6? Are you sure Gan De was sent by them?"

Ma Dazhi nodded: "It's absolutely true. There's a top-secret file in the secret archives of the French Concession Police Department about this Gan De. This foreigner came here from Lundu twenty years ago. The top-secret file records some of Gan De's intelligence activities, which leads to the conclusion that he's an MI6 agent!"

Zhang Yunhe frowned: "This matter is very strange. Gan De is an MI6 member. What is his relationship with the Blue Shirts Society? Why is the Blue Shirts Society headquarters investigating his whereabouts?"

Ma Dazhi asked, "Are you familiar with the intelligence group of the Eastern Mission?"

"Never heard of it, in what area?" Zhang Yunhe asked.

Ma Dazhi said, "The 'Gentlemen's Gang's side, ever since the Japanese army entered the International Settlement, MI6 has formed this intelligence group called the Eastern Mission to sabotage and counter the Japanese strategy and to collect intelligence related to the Japanese. The head of the Eastern Mission intelligence group is Gan De. This is intelligence secretly collected by the French Concession Police Department."

Zhang Yunhe asked in confusion, "Since you know about Gan De and the intelligence group of the Eastern Mission, how come you don't know Gan De's whereabouts?"

Ma Dazhi shook his head: "Gan De and his seven intelligence agents have all disappeared, and our undercover agents can't find them either!"

Zhang Yunhe lit a cigarette, and the room immediately filled with smoke. "Could it be that they've been captured by the Japanese?"

“We can’t rule out that possibility!” Ma Dazhi said.

Zhang Yunhe thought for a moment and said, "Send another telegram to the Blue Shirts headquarters to ask why they are looking for Gan De. They told us to look for him but didn't give a reason. We don't want to cause trouble for ourselves for no reason. What does the life or death of the British have to do with us? Just say that this is what I want to ask."

Ma Dazhi agreed: "Understood, I'll send a telegram to the Blue Shirts headquarters tonight."

……

The private residence of Tadayoshi Sakata, head of the Special Higher Police.

Several cars that had just returned from the dock drove into a villa one after another and stopped in front of the building.

Sakata Tadayoshi got out of the first car and walked toward the second car.

The rear door of the second car was opened by a secret agent, and a man in his fifties with gray hair, a short white beard, wearing a kimono, and carrying two Japanese swords, one long and one short, stepped out.

Sakata Tadayoshi walked over to the middle-aged man in the kimono and said, "Master Ito, this is my private residence. It's not that I'm deliberately making it so mysterious, but even the Special Higher Police can't guarantee that information won't leak out. Please!"

Ito Kakubun nodded and walked up the steps in his wooden clogs.

"You all stay down here. No one is allowed to go up to the second floor without my permission," Sakata Tadayoshi ordered his agents.

"Ha Yi"

Instead of sitting in the living room, Sakata Tadayoshi led Ito Kakubun to a secret room on the second floor.

The two knelt on opposite sides of a low table in the secret room. Sakata Tadayoshi said to Ito Kakubun, "Master Ito, you are the most renowned martial artist in the Empire. Your martial arts combine the best of karate, kendo, and ninjutsu. It is a great honor for me and everyone in the Special Higher Police to have invited you here to deal with the Ghost."

Ito Kagami bowed slightly: "Section Chief Sakata, you flatter me. I saw the telegram sent by His Excellency Sakata. Is the description of that ghost in the telegram true?"

“Of course it’s true,” Sakata Tadayoshi said, then took a thick brown paper document bag from his briefcase and placed it in front of Ito Kakufumi.

"These are the numerous crimes committed against our empire by the Chinese, whom we call ghosts, over the past four years. The number of people who died directly or indirectly at their hands has reached as many as 5000. And that's just the number we can count. We haven't even counted them all yet, and we can't estimate the exact number!"

"We even suspect that the successive leaks of viruses and bacteria in several epidemic prevention water supply departments were also the work of this ghost, because we also found traces that seemed to have been there during our investigation."

Tadayoshi Sakata pointed to the file bag and said, "This was originally a top-secret document, and according to regulations, it cannot be shown to outsiders. However, Master Ito is a distinguished guest I invited, and in order to better deal with the ghost, I am willing to risk punishment to let you know the details of this ghost!"

"Thank you for your trust, Section Chief Sakata. Let me take a look at the documents first!" After saying that, Ito Kakufumi opened the brown paper bag, took out the documents inside, and began to read them.

Thirty minutes passed in that instant.

Ito Kakufumi finally put down the last page of information and let out a long sigh.

Sakata Tadayoshi looked at Ito Kakufumi and asked, "Master Ito, how is it?"

Ito Kakufumi said slowly, "He is a formidable enemy and a powerful opponent. I am very interested in him!"

Sakata Tadayoshi said, "Based on the clues we have, we believe that this ghost is very likely a core member of the Blue Shirts Society's intelligence group here called the 'Other Shore Flower.' We don't know yet whether Fan Biao is a member of the 'Other Shore Flower' intelligence group, but he definitely has a deep connection with the ghost."

"This is also why we arrested most of the leaders of Fan Biao's dock gang after he was rescued by the ghost. Since he was willing to risk his life to rescue Fan Biao, he is very likely to rescue those dock gang leaders this time as well."

"Some of those arrested have already chosen to surrender to us, but a large portion of them are very stubborn and would rather die than surrender. These people have been detained at the 19th Military Police Headquarters, currently guarded by a small squad of more than 70 soldiers."

"What are your thoughts on the next steps? I will fully cooperate!"
