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

Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Mist Gradually Appears

Hospitals during the Republic of China era did not yet have mature emergency care measures.

It was late at night again.

So when Ye Shaohong and his group arrived at the hospital, they were surprised to find that they could not find a suitable surgeon.

Fortunately, Ye Shaohong deliberately avoided fatal blows with his shot. Although the Japanese soldier bled a lot, he didn't seem to be in any immediate danger.

After waiting for another twenty minutes, the surgeon from Nancheng Hospital finally rushed over.

They wheeled the badly wounded Japanese soldier into the operating room.

Just then, Zhao Jianzhi arrived at the hospital with his entourage. Seeing Ye Shaohong's exhausted face, Zhao Jianzhi almost burst out laughing. "You..."

"I'm destined to be a hard worker."

“We’ve already given you a day off, but you’ve only been off work for one day and this has happened again.”

"Now that's settled, let's get back to work."

Mentioning this matter, Ye Shaohong was also somewhat depressed. Who would have thought that something as simple as picking someone up at the dock could lead to so many troubles?

Perhaps, as Zhao Jianzhi said, he has truly gone head-to-head with the Japanese.

"Stop talking nonsense."

Did you bring what I asked you to prepare?

Before Zhou Fei arranged for someone to go to the Special Service Department, Ye Shaohong wrote a note by hand and had the messenger deliver it to the Special Service Department as well.

Now that Zhao Jianzhi has arrived, Ye Shaohong naturally wants to ask, "When have I ever neglected anything you instructed me to do?"

"I've brought them all."

"But why do you want me to bring all this imaging material to the hospital?"

Zhao Jianzhi waved his hand, and an operations officer who had come with him immediately stepped forward. He was carrying a large cardboard box containing scissors, developing solution, and other tools and equipment for developing photographs.

"Don't worry about it."

"Have someone guard this operating room. When the doctor comes out, if the person inside is still alive, immediately take him into custody."

"Be careful, the guy inside is also a Japanese devil, and he's quite skilled."

Ye Shaohong did not answer Zhao Jianzhi's question directly. He got up, took the cardboard box from the field team member, and made a move to go to another room.

When they passed Li Yunlong on the way, Ye Shaohong seemed to only then remember him and gave the two of them a brief introduction.

He claimed that Li Yunlong was a talent he had just recruited.

They were to be recruited into the Secret Service.

Zhao Jianzhi did not refuse outright. Although he was nominally the military commander of the current Action Section, Group One, Squad, Ye Shaohong was actually in charge of most of the affairs.

It's just recruiting a member of the underworld into the Special Service Department; it's not a big deal. Ye Shaohong can make the decision himself.

Being able to inform him and express some respect is enough.

And what about Li Yunlong?

Although this man was cunning and had a lot of bad habits, he was new to the Special Service Department, and Zhao Jianzhi was his nominal superior. At this moment, Li Yunlong seemed a little reserved.

It didn't show anything particularly special.

And so, Ye Shaohong temporarily left the crowd and, led by a hospital nurse, entered an empty room.

After a flurry of activity, the room was finally transformed into a simplified version of a darkroom.

Then he took out a pocket camera from his pocket.

I carefully took out the film.

Using the dim red light in the dark room, Ye Shaohong briefly examined the contents of the film, and then his eyebrows immediately rose.

Very strange.

The contents of this film roll are not classified documents.

It's not a codebook either.

Instead, it was a pile of things that looked like ledgers.

As the cleaning process hadn't been completed yet, Ye Shaohong couldn't confirm the details; he had only glanced at it briefly. Even this brief overview left him quite puzzled.

Of course, there was also a bit of curiosity.

He immediately got to work, cutting the film, mixing the developing solution according to the instructions, and printing the photos.

This busy activity lasted for more than an hour.

By the time Ye Shaohong had finished developing all the photos, the work in the operating room was also finished. Zhao Jianzhi was anxiously waiting for him at the door of the darkroom.

Upon seeing Ye Shaohong appear, Zhao Jianzhi immediately dropped the cigarette he was holding and strode over.

"How about it?"

"Did you find anything?"

"Yo!"

"Is this still our Captain Zhao? When did you start caring about these issues?"

Zhao Jianzhi's questioning caught Ye Shaohong off guard and left him somewhat puzzled, so he couldn't help but tease him in surprise.

"I can't care about these things."

"It wasn't the section chief or the team leader. They somehow got the news that you'd caught another Japanese spy."

"They just called."

"They kept pressing me for details, but I had no idea what to do with all that. They kept asking me until I was completely stumped, and in the end, I got a severe scolding from Section Chief Xu."

"They said that once you get out, no matter how late it is, you should call them first to report the situation."

Ye Shaohong understood.

This is actually normal. Smart people like Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian, even though they hold high positions, will never forget their job responsibilities.

They certainly have their own people planted within each of the various action teams. Receiving news and relaying it upwards is standard procedure.

Ye Shaohong couldn't find any fault with it either.

"That's it."

"I have indeed made some discoveries, but the contents of the camera are somewhat unusual, and I don't understand them yet."

"I'm afraid we'll need to find some professionals to confirm this."

"Both Section Chief Xu and Team Leader Zheng called? I'll go over and give them a reply."

As soon as Ye Shaohong finished speaking and left Zhao Jianzhi's side, Li Yunlong, who had been hiding in the shadows, rushed over in a few steps.

He didn't speak.

She simply followed quietly behind Ye Shaohong, like his shadow.

He also saw this, but he did not express any explicit opposition.

Upon arriving at the hospital director's office, Ye Shaohong picked up the phone and dialed the Special Operations Section directly. After obtaining the home phone numbers of Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian, Ye Shaohong dialed them one by one.

He reported the same things to Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian.

He briefly summarized his experiences that day, including the capture of the Japanese spy who broke into his home.

Finally, the topic of film was brought up again.

As for what was inside the film, Ye Shaohong didn't reveal it directly because telephones in that era required exchanges, which allowed for human intervention.

Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian were both intelligent people. They sensed Ye Shaohong's concerns and did not press him further.

He simply instructed Ye Shaohong to keep a close watch on the captured Japanese spy, protect the film and photographs, and bring the people and the items back to the Special Service Department's Action Section overnight.

They need to see people and things as soon as they get to work tomorrow or this morning.

After receiving confirmation over the phone, Ye Shaohong was quite helpless.

He knew he wouldn't have time to rest tonight.

After leaving the dean's office, Ye Shaohong told Zhao Jianzhi about the orders given by Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian. Then, the group of more than ten people immediately returned to No. 53, Chicken and Goose Lane.

After the surgery, the Japanese spy, who had regained consciousness, was taken to a special ward.

Ye Shaohong went directly to his office.

He took out his draft of "The Wolf and the Dog" and then looked at the photographic information against the draft. After a moment, he finally made a new discovery.

"They have the ambition of wolves."

"I never imagined that these Japanese had already sent people to secretly infiltrate the mainland as early as 1932 to secretly draw up a map of the terrain around Nanjing." "They had even found out about the defense positions, strongholds, and bunkers secretly set up by the Nationalist government."

"If this gets out, it will be another huge scandal!"
