Living in the Republic of China era, from undercover agent to immortality

"Ring ring ring—"

At the Shanghai Garrison Command, Japanese Major General Shinichi Inoue, the Chief of Staff, is studying the battle plan.

Suddenly, the telephone rang urgently.

He was startled and immediately turned around to pick up the microphone.

"Moshi moshi!"

"What happened?"

"General Matsumoto was shot and killed, and Miss Michiko was also killed by the 76th Division!"

Upon hearing the report from the intelligence department over the phone, Inoue Shinichi's expression changed.

He then angrily cursed:

"Baka, how could this happen?"

"Immediately summon Colonel Harada to my office..."

On the phone, the Japanese major from the intelligence section immediately bowed his head.

"Hayi!"

He knew what had happened; the chief of staff probably wanted to investigate the matter by talking to Colonel Harada.

So he immediately drove to the Black Dragon Society.

About half an hour later, Harada Ichiro of the Bamboo Agency was brought in by a Japanese advisor.

"General, Colonel Harada has arrived."

The Japanese staff officer bowed slightly and glanced at Harada Ichiro beside him before speaking.

Harada Ichiro stepped forward and bowed very respectfully.

"Harada-kun, you already know what happened this morning, right?"

Shinichi Inoue stood up, looking at Ichiro Harada in front of him with a very serious expression, his lips twitching slightly.

It's clear that his emotions are unstable.

The sudden death of Matsumoto Naotachi had a significant impact on the Shanghai Garrison Command.

The original encirclement and suppression plan and the material transportation plan both required his signature.

But now that the man is dead, there has been no reply from General Okamura.

Many military officers stationed in Shanghai abandoned their own petty schemes.

"General, I just heard about this myself."

"Araki Ryuichi is incredibly audacious to dare to join forces with Dingshi Village to attack the General."

"But why did General Michiko and you end up at that coffee shop?"

"This matter is somewhat suspicious."

"Furthermore, it seems that Araki-kun has no reason to be hostile to His Excellency the General."

"........."

Harada Ichiro thought for a moment, then frowned and said.

This seemed unreasonable to him.

We just can't figure out where the problem lies.

“Harada-kun, what’s done is done. It’s too late to consider the cause of the general’s death now.”

"I also believe this is a trap set for Your Excellency the General."

"Even Ryuichi Araki and Michiko were pawns, used by people with ulterior motives."

"However, the most important thing right now is to close the case as soon as possible and give headquarters a clear answer."

"The encirclement and suppression plan is about to begin. We cannot let this incident hinder the Empire's war plan."

Shinichi Inoue waved his hand, took a deep breath, and said.

That was his purpose in seeking out Harada Ichiro.

If he wants to solve the case, he can contact the Special Higher Police and the Military Police.

They even sought help from the special envoy known as the "Detective God".

"Yes, I understand."

"Please give your orders, General..."

Harada Ichiro frowned, then bowed slightly.

Since my task isn't to investigate a case, things are much easier.

"Yoshi, release Ding Shicun immediately and invite him to dinner at the Bai Mansion tonight."

"Also, take men to No. 76 and arrest all those who know the truth."

"Let's calm this down within three days."

"........."

The Japanese Chief of Staff, Inoue Shin's eyes turned cold, but he suppressed his anger and said...

"Yes, I understand."

Harada Ichiro bowed slightly and then walked out of the office.

Watching Harada Ichiro's retreating figure, Inoue Shinichi turned around and picked up the phone on the table.

"Taro, I'm entrusting General Matsumoto's case to you."

"Conduct a secret investigation to uncover the person behind it all."

"I suspect this person is hiding in the Shanghai headquarters and has a very high status."

"........."

On the other end of the phone, Cabinet Intelligence Specialist Yutaro Ida sat in a manor in Hongkou District.

The butler behind him was massaging his shoulders.

Upon hearing the contents of the phone call, a smile immediately appeared on his lips.

"Jiro, don't worry."

"I was ordered to travel from headquarters to Shanghai to investigate the cause of the General's death."

"Now there's another one, Matsumoto Naotate."

"No matter whether the opponent is a wizard or a demon, they cannot escape my grasp."

As he spoke, he slowly stood up and draped a black robe over himself.

Then, it turned around on the spot and disappeared in a wisp of black mist.

He is an intelligence agent codenamed Black Dragon for the headquarters, and also a ninja.

The deaths of several high-ranking officers at headquarters led him to target Takeuchi Mineichi.

........

Li Changfeng and a group of Japanese spies from the Special Higher Police just transported the bodies of Michiko and Matsumoto Naoli to the cold storage.

He then came to the hospital to visit Colonel Takeda Ichiro of the Military Police.

Just as he reached the door of the room, he bumped into a familiar woman.

"Takeuchi-kun, you're here too?"

Oshima Saburo's woman, Oshima Junko, has a black mourning cloth wrapped around her arm.

She stood outside the ward with red eyes and a sad expression on her face.

Li Changfeng then remembered that the Mei Agency assistant he had ambushed and killed at the hotel was none other than Saburo Oshima.

This guy introduced his daughter to him, but ended up getting involved with Ryuichi Araki and becoming a member of the Mei Agency.

Instead of being a proper businessman, they chose to become the Japanese lackeys.

This left Junko Oshima all alone and helpless.

"Miss Junko, are you here to visit Takeda-kun?"

You look very sad.

Li Changfeng was slightly taken aback and looked at Oshima Junko in front of him, asking her a question.

Junko Oshima bowed slightly, then couldn't hold back any longer and pounced on Li Changfeng.

She hugged his shoulders and started crying.

“Wuwuwu…”

"Takeuchi-kun, the military police have informed me that the old lady is dead!"

“I’ve seen the body; his throat was slit.”

"I want to know, who killed him........."

"But... Colonel Takeda refuses to meet with me."

As Junko Oshima spoke, she glanced at the two guards at the door of the ward not far away.

Li Changfeng sighed inwardly; this girl was the daughter of his enemy.

The way he looks now seems to be asking himself for help?

What a sin.

"Miss Junko, please don't cry."

"Do you know how ugly you look when you cry?"

"Alright, alright... I promise to take you to see Takeda-kun."

"........."

Li Changfeng took a deep breath and coaxed Oshima Junko like a child.

Then he led him toward the ward where Takeda Ichiro was staying.

After showing their identification, one of the guards asked a few questions and then signaled that the two could go in.

Ichiro Takeda was shot twice and had just undergone surgery.

Since the bullet didn't hit any vital areas, he was still conscious.

He was sitting half-upright on the hospital bed, thinking about the day's events.

He frowned as he saw Li Changfeng walk in with Oshima Junko.

“Takeuchi-kun, your bringing Miss Junko in has put me in a very difficult position.”

"I just received the notification."

"The General's case is now being handled by Harada Ichiro of the Black Dragon Society."

"Ryuichi Araki and Saburo Oshima are the main culprits in the attack on the General."

"Although the people are dead, their families have been placed under surveillance."

"........."

As soon as the two walked in, Takeda Ichiro looked at Li Changfeng and spoke directly.

Hearing this, Li Changfeng finally understood why this guy refused to meet with Oshima Junko.

After all, in this kind of situation, saying even one extra word could get you implicated.
