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

Chapter 645 The Target in Action

After recalling his past life, Ye Shaohong wearily closed his eyes.

Tears silently streamed down his face.

Endless guilt and self-blame welled up in his heart.

"It's my fault...!"

"It's all my fault for being so useless. If I had transmigrated here with a system with me..."

"Perhaps things will be different."

Take a deep breath.

Ye Shaohong opened his eyes again, picked up the cigarette case from the table, took out a cigarette, lit it, and put it in his mouth. His mind went blank, and before he knew it, the cigarette had burned to the end.

"Jingle Bell."

The urgent ringing of the telephone jolted Ye Shaohong out of his confused and disordered thoughts.

He shook his head.

His slightly dazed gaze slowly regained its brightness.

Ye Shaohong's gaze fell once again on the original telegram on the table. He opened the drawer beside him and carefully tucked it into a book.

Only then did he reach out and pick up the old-fashioned rotary telephone.

"Hey."

"I am Ye Shaohong!"

"The target has appeared? Where is he staying?"

"Okay, I understand. You guys keep an eye on things there, but be careful not to expose yourselves." After hanging up the phone, Ye Shaohong frowned.

The eldest son of the Kong family has arrived.

This morning, I arrived in Jiangcheng on the ferry owned by the Bald Eagle family.

According to the reports from the people Ye Shaohong left at the dock, the eldest son of the Kong family brought quite a few people with him when he came to Jiangcheng this time.

There were at least twenty or thirty people.

When these people disembarked, they were all carrying rattan and wooden boxes.

Judging from their behavior, they also have a military bearing. It is clear that the Kong family has invested heavily in the treasure of the Great Western King.

The location where they were staying made Ye Shaohong's expression even more unpleasant.

They actually settled at the Party Affairs Investigation Department's base.

This shows what?

This indicates that the Kong and Chen families, two powerful figures in the Republic of China era, had begun to collude and unite.

Is this a consequence of the attack on personnel from the Party Affairs Investigation Department a few days ago?

If that's the case, then Ye Shaohong's situation will become even more difficult.

The Chen family and the Kong family, either one of these two powerful families, are not ones he can handle or fight against, let alone the two families joining forces.

"Trouble!"

Ye Shaohong tapped the tabletop lightly with his finger, frowned and pondered for a moment, then picked up the telephone and dialed a number.

"Iron City!"

"How is the situation at Commander Zhou's home? Have they done anything unusual these past two days?"

Ye Shaohong dialed the action section directly.

He voiced his doubts. "Station Master."

"I was just about to report this to you."

"Just now, our people who were secretly monitoring the Zhou residence sent word that Commander Zhou took his wife to the antique shop on the old street today!"

"They bought two pieces of Yuan and Ming blue and white porcelain and one piece of Qianlong famille rose porcelain from the shop owner!"

"Oh, right, they also picked out a few ancient coins!"

Ye Shaohong did not assign the task of monitoring Commander Zhou to Li Yunlong, but instead gave it to Chi Tiecheng.

Judging from the current situation, Chi Tiecheng's surveillance mission is being carried out quite well.

"Yuan and Ming blue and white porcelain, Qianlong famille rose porcelain?"

"Ancient coins?"

"According to our records, Commander Zhou and his wife didn't have a hobby of collecting antiques." "Why did they suddenly develop this interest?"

Ye Shaohong was a little confused.

For a moment, he couldn't figure out what Commander Zhou and his wife meant by doing this.

Is it just simple consumer shopping?

Ye Shaohong couldn't understand it.

After a brief moment of thought, he suddenly stopped tapping on the table.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes.

"Have Commander Zhou and his wife left?"

"gone."

"The brother who was in charge of tracking them came back and reported that after they bought the antiques, they went straight home."

"We should be almost there by now."

Chi Tiecheng responded, "It's good that you've left."

"You must immediately arrange for men to go to that antique shop and capture the owner."

"Interrogate him thoroughly and see what Commander Zhou and his wife said to him."

"Get to the bottom of this. Even if the couple farted in the antique shop, find out exactly when they did it."

Ye Shaohong, with a fierce look in his eyes, issued the order in a cold voice.

"Yes!"

"Don't worry, stationmaster, I will personally take charge of this matter."

Having discerned Ye Shaohong's tone and attitude over the phone, Chi Tiecheng didn't dare to delay or hesitate, and immediately responded.

"antique?"

"What's the commander up to this week?"

"They say gold is valuable in times of chaos, and antiques are prized in times of prosperity. Given the current chaotic and turbulent situation in China, why would he suddenly become interested in this?"

After hanging up the phone, Ye Shaohong was still somewhat puzzled.

He thought for a moment, then finally got up, walked out of the office, and went directly to the prison cell inside the station.

Miko Tsuda was brought up.

Ye Shaohong asked Tsuda Mikoko if Commander Zhou and his wife had a hobby of collecting antiques.

Miko Tsuda did not respond to him.

The woman merely raised her head slightly, glancing at Ye Shaohong with surprise and confusion.

Then they fell silent again.

Seeing this, Ye Shaohong smiled.

Although Tsuda Mikoko didn't say anything, the look of surprise that briefly appeared on her face just now was enough to say everything.

"No?" "If Commander Zhou and his wife don't have a hobby of collecting antiques, then why did they go to the antique shops on the old street today?"

"You can't just buy antiques and then give them away!"

"Or is their behavior related to the mission you are carrying out?"

Ye Shaohong's eyes were fixed on Tsuda Mikuko, closely watching her expression.

As he spoke, he could clearly see that Tsuda Mikoko's eyebrows twitched slightly.

It seemed as if she had remembered something.

Then, Tsuda Miko quietly pursed her lips, seemingly annoyed and resentful.

"That's it."

“I understand. It seems my guess was right. Although you burned the codebook and encrypted documents when you were at the Zhou residence, there should still be traces left behind.” “And these traces should have been discovered and noticed by Commander Zhou and his wife.”

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Ye Shaohong didn't look at Tsuda Miko again. He waved his hand, and the interrogation officers immediately stepped forward, dragging Tsuda Miko towards the door.

"and many more!"

"I know the secret you want to know. How about we make a deal?"

"If you let me go, I'm willing to tell you everything I know."

"This is an extremely large fortune, enough to ensure you live a life of comfort and luxury for the rest of your days!"
