Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning

Zhang Yunhe asked, "Could it be that this funding really exposed them?"

Ma Dazhi nodded: "Those people who were involved in the gang-related crime were really stupid. They actually transferred the money directly to Gan De's private account at HSBC. Coincidentally, the Japanese were investigating the bank accounts of foreigners at that time, and this unusual money from the gang-related crime immediately attracted the attention of the Japanese investigators."

"I sent people to secretly visit Gan De's neighbors. Those in the know revealed that Gan De was arrested by the Japanese military police eight nights ago. I suspect that he couldn't hold out in the interrogation room and confessed to all his men."

After hearing this, Zhang Yunhe asked, "Have you found out where Gan De was taken?"

"Not yet! But I deduce that the Japanese military police who arrested Gan De should be stationed at the military police unit closest to his residence, and that military police unit is the 21st Military Police Unit, located in a large white apartment building near Waibaidu Bridge! I'm trying to find out more information," Ma Dazhi said.

Zhang Yunhe immediately said, "You don't need to worry about this, lest you expose yourself. Leave the rest to me!"

Seeing Zhang Yunhe's response, Ma Dazhi nodded and said, "Alright, contact me anytime if anything comes up!"

While cracking sunflower seeds, Zhang Yunhe asked, "These past two days, I've noticed that almost all the foreigners on the streets of the International Settlement are wearing red armbands embroidered with letters. What does that mean?"

“Oh, I know about that,” Ma Dazhi said, taking a sip of tea and then putting down his cup. “These are red armbands that the Japanese forced the foreigners to buy from them. It was for easier management and to distinguish the foreigners’ nationalities using letters. For example, an armband with the letter B meant they were British, an armband with the letter A meant they were clowns, and an armband with the letter N meant they were Dutch.”

"A few days ago, several well-known journalists in the International Settlement, such as John Powell and Woodhead, were arrested and brutally tortured by the Japanese military police for reporting on the atrocities committed by the Japanese. Anyone suspected of being unfriendly to the Japanese would be arrested and tortured. For the past few months, all the foreigners in the International Settlement have lived in fear, lest they be arrested by the Japanese military police in the middle of the night."

"The Japanese also imposed extremely strict regulations on foreigners living in Shanghai. Bank accounts were strictly restricted, and many foreigners working in the police station and the Shanghai Municipal Council were ordered to remain at their posts to ensure the normal operation of the International Settlement Police Department and basic public institutions."

"Furthermore, they also restricted foreigners from entering theaters, cinemas, dance halls, nightclubs, racetracks, etc., and foreigners were also ordered to limit their use of radios, cameras, binoculars, and were not allowed to send telegrams."

Zhang Yunhe lit a cigarette. "I expected the Japanese to do this. This is just a restriction on their lives. When the situation gets more and more serious, I'm afraid all the foreigners who stay here will be arrested and centrally managed by the Japanese."

Ma Dazhi inquired about the dock gang members being held at the 19th Military Police Headquarters: "How are Fan Biao's men, who were imprisoned by the Japanese at the 19th Military Police Headquarters, doing now? That place must be a den of dragons and tigers now, right?"

Zhang Yunhe said while smoking, "Yesterday afternoon I observed over there for several hours. Apart from the small squad of military police that was clearly visible, I haven't found any other traps yet. This matter is not urgent. Let's observe for a few more days first. I don't believe that Sakata Tadayoshi of the Special Higher Police won't treat me to a big meal!"

"I wonder what insidious tricks this old guy is up to. We'd better be careful!"

After the matter was discussed, Ma Dazhi left before the play on the stage was finished.

Zhang Yunhe's gaze was fixed on the stage, but his mind was wandering to other things.

He smoked and pondered for a few minutes, then rolled up his sleeves and operated the Iron Blood computer for a few moments, using virtual dialing to call the office of Matsushima, the manager of the Japanese Navy Club.

"Moshi Moshi," Matsushima's voice came through the phone after it was answered.

Zhang Yunhe said, "It's me. Do you know if there's a military police station near the Waibaidu Bridge?"

"Isn't that the 21st Military Police Headquarters? It's a big white apartment building. It used to be an apartment building where Westerners from various countries lived. After the Imperial Army entered the International Settlement, most of the Westerners living in that white apartment building went back to their countries or went to the French Concession. That apartment building was vacant and was assigned to the 21st Military Police Headquarters as its headquarters," Matsushima said on the other end of the phone.

After hearing this, Zhang Yunhe said, "About a week ago, a British wine merchant named William Gander was arrested. Use your intelligence resources to find out if William Gander implicated other people after his arrest, how many people he implicated were, whether they were all arrested, and where they are being held now!"

"Are you sure it was the 21st Military Police station at Waibaidu Bridge that was arrested a week ago?" Matsushima asked.

Zhang Yunhe said, "Because Gan De was arrested by the military police in that area, he should have been taken to the 21st Military Police Unit!"

After hearing this, Matsushima said, "Then it should be correct. If the interrogation was conducted at the 21st Military Police Headquarters, a week would have passed, and the person should be detained at Pudong Hospital now."

"Pudong Hospital?"

“Yes, that hospital was requisitioned by the Military Police Headquarters as a concentration camp two months ago. There are seven such concentration camps scattered throughout Shanghai. Please wait for me for an hour while I send someone to investigate. I will call you back in an hour!” Matsushima said on the phone.

Zhang Yunhe said, "Okay, I'll wait for your news!"

After ending his call with Matsushima, Zhang Yunhe grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds, stuffed them into his pocket, and left the Grand Stage Theater while munching on the seeds.

He received a call from Matsushima while driving to the 19th Military Police Headquarters in Yangjiaxing, only 25 minutes after their last conversation.

"Hello?" Zhang Yunhe answered the call.

Matsushima's voice came through the phone: "Sir, it's been confirmed. William Gander is indeed being held in Pudong Hospital. I found out that he is the head of MI6's secret intelligence team stationed in Shanghai. Their intelligence group is called the Eastern Mission. They were arrested and investigated because of unusual funds in their bank accounts during their mission to bomb an Italian Eritrean gunboat."

“William Gander was the first to be arrested because a sum of money for his activities was transferred from the military police to his personal account. The military police headquarters suspected his identity was questionable, so they arrested him that night. After his arrest, he quickly betrayed his seven accomplices during interrogation, and those seven people were subsequently arrested as well.”

"They readily confessed to their identities, and after the case was closed, the Military Police Command transferred them to a concentration camp in Pudong."
