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

Chapter Twenty-One: The Big Fish Finally Appears, and It's Captured Overnight

That's right.

Zheng Yaoxian's answer was exactly the solution Ye Shaohong had come up with.

Ye Shaohong didn't need to say anything more after that.

Zheng Yaoxian had fully grasped Ye Shaohong's idea, and he took over the command of the operation without hesitation.

"Xiao'an, immediately arrange for people to check the current home addresses of those people on the list based on the statements provided by Matsumoto Ryoko."

“Look at these people, see if any of them have moved their entire family within the past six months to a year.”

"We need to hurry. What happened at St. Mary's Church Hospital this afternoon can be kept secret from ordinary people, but it absolutely cannot be kept secret from those high-ranking officials on the confession list."

"We don't have much time left."

When issuing this order, Zheng Yaoxian's face showed a rare solemnity, and Song Xiaoan was also extremely decisive.

After raising his hand in salute, he turned and left the interrogation room directly.

Zhao Jianzhi originally wanted to go along, but Zheng Yaoxian stopped her in the end. Zheng Yaoxian's reason was that Yano Seihei's testimony needed to be confirmed again.

But in Ye Shaohong's view, that was not the case at all.

Zheng Yaoxian didn't want Zhao Jianzhi to go with them because he was worried that Zhao's reckless nature would ruin the Special Service Department's important plans.

That's why I found a reason to keep him here.

Zhao Jianzhi, unable to grasp the cause and effect, remained there, grinning foolishly. It was quite amusing, indeed.

And so, the three interrogated Yano Seihei again in the interrogation room, further refining and supplementing the confession they had just obtained.

Then Zheng Yaoxian took Ye Shaohong back to the office.

The two worked together to compile a detailed account of the massacre of the Ma family and the reasons behind it.

The materials were formed and delivered to Xu Baichuan.

Around 9 p.m., Song Xiaoan returned home after a busy half-day outing.

Despite his travel-worn appearance, he couldn't hide his excitement.

As soon as he stepped into Zheng Yaoxian's office, Song Xiaoan handed him the documents he was holding.

"Team leader, we've found something."

"Based on the information obtained from our investigations and after confirmation by various departments, among the names provided in Matsumoto Ryoko's confession within the past six months to a year, there are a total of three people who have moved."

"They are Bao Minghui, Secretary of the General Office of the Military Commission; Feng Erdong, Chief of the Coordination Section of the Ministry of Education of the Executive Yuan; and Yang Zhi, Deputy Battalion Commander of the Guard Battalion directly under the 67th German-equipped Division!"

After saying all this in one breath, Song Xiaoan's face immediately flushed. He looked at Zheng Yaoxian expectantly, waiting for Zheng Yaoxian's response.

"Wow, these are all big fish."

"Secretary of the General Office of the Military Commission, Section Chief of the Ministry of Education of the Executive Yuan, and Deputy Battalion Commander of the Guard Battalion directly under the German-trained 67th Division."

"This time we're probably going to rip a hole in the sky."

Zheng Yaoxian was absolutely right. Even though Ye Shaohong had just transmigrated and was unfamiliar with the institutions and affairs of the Republic of China, he still frowned immediately when he heard about the positions of these three people.

What kind of organization is the Military Commission? It was the most powerful institution in the Republic of China, second only to the Presidential Palace.

The current chairman of the Military Commission is also a bald man.

The General Office is the core department of the Military Commission, in charge of matters related to the safekeeping of the Commission's seals and documents, meeting notices, and the drafting and distribution of classified documents.

Most importantly, they also oversaw the compilation of the national telecommunications codebook.

The successive directors of the General Office were all absolute confidants of the Chairman. Among them, Li Jitang, Xu Yongchang, Lin Wei, Wu Siyu, Liu Guangxian and others have left a distinguished reputation in history.

Although Bao Minghui was just an ordinary secretary in the General Office of the Military Commission, the classified information he had access to was far beyond what most people could imagine.

What about Feng Erdong?

He was the head of the Coordination Section of the Ministry of Education, Executive Yuan. Although the Ministry of Education did not have much power during the Republic of China era, he still had a good leader above him.

That's right.

That's the one who proposed the indirect approach to achieving national salvation.

The infamous Wang.

The deputy battalion commander of the guard battalion of the 67th German-equipped division was not an easy character to deal with. This 67th German-equipped division was one of the original units of the division's chairman, and above him was a powerful figure named Chen Cheng.

This unit was reorganized and transformed into an elite German-equipped division as early as August 1936.

There are only eight such units in the entire country.

"They're all big fish."

"It's become so big that we can't control it."

"There's no other way, let's report it."

After reviewing the information documents that Song Xiaoan had retrieved, Zheng Yaoxian only pondered for a brief moment before making a decision.

Faced with three people with powerful backgrounds, merits and rewards were no longer important.

If they make a mistake, the responsibility they bear could be enough to ruin Zheng Yaoxian and his family, so the best option is to pass this hot potato on.

Song Xiaoan and Ye Shaohong understood the reasoning behind it, and even if they were unwilling, they could not refuse.

Neither of them spoke.

He simply watched as Zheng Yaoxian picked up the phone on the table and dialed Xu Baichuan directly.

After a brief conversation, Zheng Yaoxian picked up the documents in his hand, got up and left the room. Before leaving, he specifically told Song Xiaoan and Ye Shaohong that they should not leave the office until he returned.

The implication is that they should supervise and corroborate each other.

A dozen minutes later, Zheng Yaoxian returned.

He told Song Xiaoan and Ye Shaohong directly that he had reported the matter to the director through Xu Baichuan. The director had also issued a clear order that there was no need to hesitate; arrest them immediately.

If a problem arises, he will contact you to resolve it.

However, the director also had one requirement.

That means that after an arrest, torture should not be used lightly. Once the identity of the person is confirmed, irrefutable evidence must be presented.

Only in this way could he file a lawsuit against the Chairman.

To secure credit and benefits for Zheng Yaoxian and his group.

The order, delivered by Zheng Yaoxian, immediately invigorated Song Xiaoan and Ye Shaohong.

"Team leader, give the order."

With such immense merit right before his eyes, even Song Xiaoan, who always believed in Buddhist karma and cause and effect, became anxious and immediately opened his mouth to shout loudly.

"it is good!"

"It's 9:45 PM now, Song Xiaoan. I'm giving you fifteen minutes to gather all your team members before 10 PM. Have them stand guard downstairs!"

"Then you and Zhao Jianzhi come to see me together, and I will assign the task of capturing these three people to you, Jianzhi, and Shaohong."

"Each of you will lead a team and set off tonight. Try to arrest Bao Minghui, Feng Erdong, Yang Zhi, and their wives, children, and elderly relatives before midnight and bring them back to the Operations Section!"
