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

Chapter 552 The Road to Certain Death

What did Kuramoto Masao say that made Ye Shaohong so excited?

He said one thing.

In Kuramoto Masao's memory, when he unexpectedly encountered the mysterious man that day, he discovered that the mysterious man was ill.

He was quite ill.

The mysterious person kept covering their mouth with a handkerchief.

He would occasionally cough lightly.

Is this clue important?

It's not important, but it's also very important.

Why do I say that? Because this matter needs to be considered comprehensively.

Think about what information Kuramoto Masao just confessed. He said that the day he unexpectedly met the mysterious person was eight or nine months ago, and that day, it snowed lightly in Nanjing, which is rare for the city.

Nanjing is in the south, and Kuramoto Masao also said that it snowed lightly that day, which was quite unusual.

With this information, Ye Shaohong could confirm the date through various means.

and then?

Then Kuramoto Masao also described the man's physical characteristics.

He was about 1.7 meters tall, very thin, and probably weighed no more than 130 pounds. He also had very sharp eyes.

This is another key piece of information that can confirm the target's identity.

With these two criteria, Ye Shaohong could rule out the special agent who was not in Jinling City that day, as well as the person's height, weight, and eye features.

This could help him narrow down the range of suspects to some extent. This had already saved Ye Shaohong a lot of trouble.

Now new information has been added.

The person Kuramoto Masao saw that day had a cough.

This illustrates another point.

One day eight or nine months ago, the suspect may have fallen ill—whether it was typhoid fever, bronchitis, or pneumonia/tuberculosis.

Regardless of which one it is, it provides Ye Shaohong with a direction for investigation.

Specific time, specific posture, specific physical condition...

With these three pieces of information, and using the methods of the Special Service, it shouldn't be too difficult to uncover the hidden gray wolf.

This was the real reason why Ye Shaohong rarely showed such excitement. "How is it?"

"The information I'm giving you is very important, isn't it?"

"With your methods and intelligence, sir, and the clues I've provided, it shouldn't take too long to find the Gray Wolf."

Talking to smart people is that simple.

Regardless of Kuramoto Masao's nationality or whether he deserves to be torn to pieces, Ye Shaohong had to admit that this little Japanese devil was indeed quite capable.

The question that Ye Shaohong had just thought of was obviously also one that Kuramoto Masao had thought of.

That's why he dared to use this as a basis to propose the terms of the deal.

"not bad."

"You've given me a little surprise."

"Alright, I've spared your life today. You can go and rest now." With that, Ye Shaohong had obtained the information he wanted.

Ye Shaohong had no desire to continue idly chatting with Kuramoto Masao. He raised his hand, and an interrogation officer immediately came forward.

He took Kuramoto Masao down from the interrogation rack.

As he helped Kuramoto Masao to his feet, the interrogation officer turned and looked at Ye Shaohong.

The kind that's very subtle.

This was also a tacit understanding between their interrogation department and the chief investigators of each department.

There was only one purpose: should this person stay or not?

Ye Shaohong was a veteran in the interrogation room, and he knew only a few of the tricks the interrogation department used.

So his response was simple: he gently shook his head.

He didn't say a word from beginning to end, but the clerk in the interrogation department already knew Ye Shaohong's intentions and what he should do next.

This is enough.

Ye Shaohong no longer needed to worry about the rest.

As for the deal he made with Masao Kuramoto?

Hey…….

Ye Shaohong had promised Kuramoto Masao that as long as he confessed truthfully, he would receive treatment, and after the treatment, he would be immediately transferred to another cell.

The two will never see each other again.

He also promised Kuramoto Masao that he would spare Kuramoto Masao's life.

But this promise only applies to Ye Shaohong himself.

As long as Ye Shaohong didn't personally take action, he wouldn't be considered to have lost face or broken his promise.

Even if he changes his mind, it's not a problem.

Those Japanese devils are just a bunch of beasts. Even if Ye Shaohong really regrets it, he doesn't need to bear any psychological burden.

He's an animal, why bother trying to reason with him about human relationships?

No need at all.

Now that others are willing to handle this matter on Ye Shaohong's behalf, it saves him some trouble, which Ye Shaohong is naturally happy to see.

They watched as Kuramoto Masao was led away.

Inside the interrogation room, the two remaining Japanese spies from Dongyang seemed to have seen a glimmer of hope for survival.

They all looked at Ye Shaohong with expectant expressions.

"Sir, if we are also willing to surrender and confess, could we skip the previous procedure?"

"Yes, sir, we are willing to surrender. We are willing to tell you everything we know truthfully. We only hope that you will spare our lives."

These two Japanese devils had a wonderful idea, but little did they know who they were facing.

Ye Shaohong was one of the people within the Special Service Department who harbored the deepest hatred for the Japanese.

His fearsome reputation as Ye Yanluo was forged from the lives of countless Japanese devils.

In Jiangcheng, he killed over a hundred Japanese spies and traitors in front of the entire city.

It would be extremely difficult for these two to exchange a little bit of intelligence for a chance to survive.

However, Ye Shaohong wouldn't pressure them too much.

On the contrary, he wanted to give the two of them a chance to prove themselves. Perhaps they knew something about "Grey Wolf"? Even if it was just a little bit, it would save Ye Shaohong a lot of trouble in his subsequent screening work.

So he smiled.

The laughter was gentle, yet chilling.

"Want to live?"

"Sure, as long as you can provide me with something that interests me, I can not only keep you alive, but also give you a bright future."

"It all depends on whether the information you give me is valuable."

Deception? Ye Shaohong is familiar with this.

It's just some rhetoric and rhetoric.

As for the fate of those two Japanese devils, Ye Shaohong didn't give it much thought.

After all, he has a very narrow mind.

He was also a vengeful person; he hadn't forgotten about Yu Manli's serious injuries and hospitalization.

These two Japanese devils in front of him were the culprits who directly harmed Yu Manli. In Ye Shaohong's mind, they, like Kuramoto Masao, had already been sentenced to death.

This is merely giving them a glimmer of hope.

"clear."

"We'll definitely do our best. I happen to know a little about the situation, so I'll report it to the officer now...!"
