Espionage: I became sworn brothers with Zheng Yaoxian at the beginning, and became the Seventh Broth

Chapter 1040 Investigation

Ma Yunfei and Gao Han were rescued by Zhuang Yifan's men at the most dangerous moment.

They were sent directly to the safe house that Zhuang Yifan's group had been preparing for many years.

There was food, guns, alcohol, and first-aid medicine there.

It can completely heal Ma Yunfei's injuries.

Once the search was completed and they reconnected with the other members of Agent Group No. 5, Ma Yunfei and Gao Han were considered to have weathered this life-or-death crisis.

Even so, Ma Yunfei and Gao Han did not hand over the intelligence film they had stolen from the Shanghai Military Police Headquarters to the gunmen who had come to their rescue.

This isn't because they're ungrateful. It's just that the intelligence industry has always been this way.

A task should never be delegated to others unless absolutely necessary or if personnel are killed.

Who knows if the other party will claim insurance?

The mysterious gunmen who rescued Ma Yunfei and Gao Han claimed to be members of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and they did not ask Ma Yunfei for anything.

It's as if they only ever had one mission.

That is saving lives.

After a brief conversation and some words of advice, the mysterious gunman and his entourage drove away.

Gao Han also began to personally perform debridement surgery on Ma Yunfei.

Remove the bullet from the shoulder.

They busied themselves in the dimly lit room, while elsewhere, chaos reigned. The Japanese Concession.

Gendarmerie Headquarters.

After making more than a dozen phone calls, Yoko Minamida began to deal with internal affairs.

She arranged for people to investigate how Ma Yunfei and his group had infiltrated the area.

And how did the gunmen outside manage to smuggle the weapons in?

These all need to be rigorously investigated.

Without figuring out where the loophole lies, Yoko Minamida won't be able to explain this to the public.

It has to be said that the Japanese influence in Shanghai is indeed terrifying.

The order from Nantian Yangzi was passed down, and within ten minutes, a report came in.

The first thing to do is to find out the identities of Ma Yunfei and Gao Han.

Of course.

This refers to disguising one's identity.

That was their identity when they entered the New Year's reception at the Shanghai Military Police Headquarters.

And who issued the invitations they were holding?

And who will be responsible for checking their invitations and letting them into the Shanghai Gendarmerie Headquarters?

This investigation revealed the basic situation.

The invitation came from the Shanghai Anti-Bandit Investigation Bureau.

His identity is the captain of the anti-bandit investigation team.

To put it simply, it was an agency under the Wang Jingwei regime's No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters.

The unit responsible for suppressing bandits, collecting grain and fodder, and supporting the logistics of the South China Expeditionary Army in the Songhu area.

It was also a place teeming with traitors and collaborators who had surrendered to the enemy. After investigating the origin of the invitation, Nantian Yangzi immediately summoned Li Qun and held him accountable.

After all, the Rural Suppression and Bandit Investigation Division was a unit nominally under the 76th Special Agent Headquarters.

It was also a place where Li Qun used to plunder the citizens of Shanghai and curry favor with the Japanese.

Li Qun was stunned when he learned of this.

Upon learning that the Shanghai Military Police Headquarters was preparing to hold a New Year's banquet, he did indeed arrange for people to send several invitations to his subordinate anti-bandit and anti-crime investigation unit.

The high-ranking personnel of the Anti-Bandit Investigation Bureau were all his trusted subordinates, and Li Qun knew them all.

Li Qun was certain that he had never met Ma Yunfei or Gao Han.

They are definitely not his subordinates.

With Li Qun's corroboration, how could Nantian Yangzi not realize that there were other issues involved? She immediately instructed Li Qun to call the Anti-Bandit Investigation Bureau and have them arrange manpower to locate the individuals listed on the invitation.

Unsurprisingly, that person is already dead.

To be precise, he died at the hands of people arranged by Ye Shaohong.

He died at the hands of Zhang He's undercover team members.

At this point, the lead went cold.

This is a classic case of substitution.

With no other option, Nantian Yangzi could only investigate who had let Ma Yunfei and Gao Han in.

Is it possible that other members of the Military Intelligence Bureau were lurking inside the headquarters of Agent 76, and that they helped Ma Yunfei to steal intelligence?

The investigation led to Luo Wa.

Can't escape.

Luo Wa didn't hide anything from the truth. After being escorted here by Wang Manchun and her men, she immediately confessed.

Korova also had her own preparations.

Luo Wa told Nantian Yangzi that she was not a local of Shanghai and that she basically did not know any of the local officials or people who were attending today's New Year's party.

She can only recognize people by their invitations.

and…….

Before coming to carry out her mission today, she had been recuperating from her injuries in the hospital, and the only person she had contact with was the old servant she brought from Southeast Asia.

There was simply no time or opportunity to contact outsiders.

These things are all verifiable.

There are also witnesses and physical evidence in the hospital.

Furthermore, Wang Manchun visited Luo Wa at the hospital several times during her hospitalization, which further reduced the suspicion surrounding Luo Wa.

After a moment's thought, although she still harbored some doubts about Luo Wa, the facts and evidence were clear, and she couldn't directly take action against Luo Wa.

I could only keep it hidden in my heart.

Just then, Rova unleashed her ultimate weapon.

It was also a tool Ye Shaohong had arranged for her to escape beforehand: the area she was in charge of only accepted inspections of guests with invitations.

But how did those assassins outside the Shanghai Military Police Headquarters manage to infiltrate?

The routes those people took were not within Luo Wa's control.

This, in turn, lessened the suspicion surrounding Luo Wa.

This also diverted the suspicious attention of Nantian Yangzi and Wang Manchun.

Yoko Nanada immediately arranged for an investigation.

This time it was easy.

Those who were able to join the Wang Jingwei regime's No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters to make a living were basically not loyal people.

By interrogating all the checkpoint personnel and having them identify the dead, it was soon discovered that the three Kuomintang agents were among them.

They all passed through the checkpoints under Zhou Changhe's jurisdiction.

As expected, Zhou Changhe was arrested.

He also carried the benefits that the Military Intelligence Bureau had given him for releasing personnel.

A full thousand dollars.

Huge amounts of wealth are tantamount to evidence that doesn't need to be examined.

Upon further interrogation, Zhou Changhe, not being a tough guy, immediately confessed.

Zhou Changhe confessed that he had succumbed to the temptation of money and become an external intelligence agent for the Military Intelligence Bureau.

He also confessed to having previously passed on three pieces of intelligence—two false and one true—to the Military Intelligence Bureau. His quick confession immediately disappointed Nan Tianyangzi and Wang Manchun. These two intelligent women, with their rich interrogation experience, could almost immediately confirm that Zhou Changhe's confession was without any problems.

There was no lying involved.

This is the case.

However, in doing so, they spent a lot of manpower and time, but only managed to uncover a peripheral intelligence agent of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

Or rather, they were just information brokers, and they couldn't explain themselves to their superiors.

They are even less capable of shouldering this responsibility.

Nantian Yangzi and Wang Manchun exchanged a brief glance, and Wang Manchun immediately understood Nantian Yangzi's intentions.

Her face turned cold, and with a wave of her hand, she ordered her men to arrest Zhou Changhe.

They were thrown directly into the interrogation room...
