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

Chapter 151 Preparing to Close the Net

Ye Shaohong had just hung up the phone when there was a knock on his office door.

It was the field clerk who went to the cafeteria to get food for him.

He was carrying a small bamboo basket in one hand and a small clay pot in the other. When he saw Ye Shaohong's probing gaze, the field operative immediately smiled.

"Team Leader Ye, are you getting impatient?"

"I rushed to the cafeteria, but all the good food was gone, so I asked the chef to make you some new food."

"Big steamed buns with preserved mustard greens and pork filling, millet porridge, and a clay pot of seaweed and egg soup."

"I don't know if it suits your taste!" This field operative is quite interesting. He has the cheerful personality of showing a smile before even speaking, which makes it easy for him to win people's favor.

"It's just breakfast, what's there to say about whether it suits your taste or not?"

"sorry to bother you."

Ye Shaohong took the small basket, opened it, and saw that the items inside were neatly arranged. Next to the steamed buns and rice porridge, there was also a small dish of pickled vegetables. Ye Shaohong was even more satisfied.

He had no intention of ordering others around; he opened the drawer, took out a silver dollar, and tossed it out.

"Here, buy yourself a pack of cigarettes!"

"Hey, Team Leader Xie Ye."

"The brothers all say in private, 'Team Leader Ye, you're the most generous. Working for you brings more credit and more money,' and it's really true."

"Okay, team leader, you go ahead with your work, I'm off."

The field operative accepted the reward, bowed and smiled, and flattered Ye Shaohong a few more times before turning around and walking towards the door with a happy and satisfied expression. Because he was looking down and playing with the silver dollar he had just received, he did not see Li Yunlong walk in.

The two immediately collided head-on, but Li Yunlong, being skilled, was unharmed.

The field crew member was knocked to the ground.

He looked up in confusion, and when he saw Li Yunlong, a look of fear immediately appeared on his face. His lips trembled as he was about to apologize when Ye Shaohong's voice came from behind him.

"You walk without even looking up, so clumsy and sloppy. Why don't you get out of here already?"

This reprimand was tantamount to giving the man a way out. The field operative stopped trembling, quickly got up from the ground, picked up the dropped silver dollar, and ran out.

Li Yunlong didn't stop him. He just stood aside and watched quietly as the man walked away, a look of realization flashing in his eyes.

A moment later, that expression vanished instantly.

"Team leader, did you call me?"

"Hmm, have you eaten? If not, eat something with me."

Ye Shaohong nodded, and while drinking the oily millet porridge, he casually asked a question with some pickled vegetables.

"just ate."

Li Yunlong responded with a smile, but did not look for a seat. He simply stood quietly in front of Ye Shaohong.

"Alright, I'll eat. Now tell me about the three Japanese spies. Did they confess?"

The assassination attempt on him by Japanese spies had dragged on for a long time, and Ye Shaohong wanted to solve the case as soon as possible, to teach Doiyuu Ichiji a lesson and let him know that he was not someone to be trifled with. That's why Ye Shaohong paid special attention to this man.

"Hey, you confessed!"

"After the operation last night ended and we brought the person back, we interrogated her for just over an hour, and the cook in her thirties was the first to confess."

"Around 3 a.m., after being subjected to torture, the man among the three Japanese spies also confessed."

"As dawn approached, the last man also failed to hold out."

"After compiling the statement information, it was already past six in the morning. I saw that it wasn't long before I had to go to work, so I didn't send anyone to bother you."

"Here is the organized case file information. Please take a look."

As Li Yunlong began his report, he placed the documents he was holding on the table. Ye Shaohong took them and glanced at them for a moment, then a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Not bad results." "The four Special Higher Police task forces—Feng Lei, Chun Lei, Asada, and Qian He—that were planted in Jinling City have been mostly wiped out by us, piecemeal."

"This result is more than enough to report to the section chief."

The situation was pretty much as Ye Shaohong had expected. The three Japanese spies arrested at the Xiaoxiang Club last night were indeed members of the action team.

Ye Shaohong's judgment is based on evidence.

Because the woman appeared in the wrong place, the main purpose of the Yuhuatai execution was to retaliate against Hiroshi Doihara and the Toyo Special Higher Police.

In retaliation for their recent assassination attempt.

Such actions might attract other Japanese spies, but they are unlikely to stir up any emotional changes in them.

Only those who participated in the recent assassination attempt showed obvious emotional changes.

Of course, this cannot be guaranteed to be true. That's why Ye Shaohong was eager to know the answer as soon as he arrived at work.

"Chizuru Kazuo?"

"Is this the name of the male Japanese spy we arrested last night? The leader of the 13th Team of the Special Higher Police's Nanjing Operations Unit?"

"That bastard Tu Feiyuan Xian'er, just how many people has he planted in Jinling City?"

"Not to mention the intelligence-gathering spy team, he also arranged more than a dozen action teams. According to the information in this confession, each team had twelve members in addition to the team leader."

"Does that mean there are more than a hundred Special Higher Police agents in Nanjing alone?"

Ye Shaohong had done his best to estimate the strength of the Special Higher Police, but he did not expect that the Special Higher Police would have so many people infiltrating Nanjing.

No wonder they were so desperate to assassinate him. Four action teams, that's more than fifty people.

During this period, they set up ambushes multiple times, but according to the information Ye Shaohong obtained, they only managed to kill or injure fewer than thirty people in total.

In other words, nearly twenty members of the Japanese spy team that received the order to assassinate him were still hiding in Nanjing.

More than twenty dark gun barrels.

The thought of someone launching a suicidal attack on him at any moment gave Ye Shaohong a headache.

Fortunately, this operation was timely, and the leader of the Qianhe Action Team was also captured. He confessed after being tortured, and based on his confession, we were able to uncover some other people as well.

Otherwise, Ye Shaohong really wouldn't dare to go out so easily.

"The Chizuru Group wasn't involved in the previous assassination attempts? Is their group still intact?"

"Hey, Chizuru Uehiro confessed everything, very good." "Li Yunlong, you're in charge of solving this case, so I won't assign the follow-up operations to anyone else. Can you bring back everyone on this list within today?"

After reviewing the case file information, Ye Shaohong had just finished breakfast. He took out the handkerchief that Yu Manli had embroidered for him yesterday, wiped his mouth, and then looked up at Li Yunlong.

"I guarantee to complete the mission!" "I miss the millet porridge I ate when I was a child. The millet that was grown without chemical fertilizers and cooked slowly over low heat without oil could still produce a thin layer of rice oil."

It smells so good! I haven't had this in years.
