Chapter 920 Casting a Net to Find Spies

When Shibuya Ichiro was mentioned, Ye Shaohong immediately thought of Zhou Yi.

Actually, they knew each other.

During his time in Nanjing, Ye Shaohong had a brief encounter with Zhou Yi. From that moment on, Ye Shaohong realized that Shibuya Ichiro existed in this world.

Because Shibuya Ichiro is the biggest villain to appear in the spy drama Cliff.

It's just a shame.

In the spy drama Cliff, there is no scene where this person is killed.

Only a few brief clips appeared.

Even those few snippets are enough to illustrate a lot of issues.

First of all, Shibuya Ichiro had a high reputation in the Kwantung Army. Although his position was not high, he could influence many decisions within the Kwantung Army.

Second.

Shibuya Ichiro is extremely ruthless and decisive in his actions; he can disregard human ethics and morality in order to achieve his goals.

He's a complete executioner.

Chen Gongshu's decision to target this person was extremely clever.

If there really were spies sent by the Kwantung Army within the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau, he would absolutely not dare to be negligent or indifferent to the dangers that Shibuya Ichiro might encounter.

If Shibuya Ichiro were to die because of him, the high command of the Kwantung Army would absolutely not let him off the hook.

This was Chen Gongshu's cleverness. Ye Shaohong was very satisfied.

When Chen Gongshu's telegram was sent back to the Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters, Mao Renfeng immediately seized the opportunity.

He did not allow the telecommunications staff to deliver the telegram to him.

Instead, he personally led a team to the telecommunications department.

And in front of everyone, he showed great interest.

This incident, occurring in full view of everyone, inevitably attracted the attention of those with ulterior motives.

Naturally, someone will leak it.

of course.

Of those who leaked this information, some were indeed unreliable.

However, there were also people arranged by Mao Renfeng and Ye Shaohong mixed in among them.

In just half a day, many people within the Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters had already received news through various channels that Mao Renfeng had received a telegram from Manchuria. Some chose to completely ignore it, a smart move.

Some people are also watching secretly.

These people who were secretly watching were all recorded.

Soon, the job information and files of these people were gathered in the office of the external office.

Chi Tiecheng and Li Yunlong personally led the team to be in charge of the search and investigation.

During this period, new goals continued to emerge.

It was utter chaos.

But Ye Shaohong wasn't worried at all. In his opinion, these people shouldn't have any problems.

Human curiosity is innate.

Even within the Military Intelligence Bureau, which has always adhered to strict secrecy regulations, it is impossible to completely sever people's innate instincts.

The spy planted by the Kwantung Army, who managed to remain hidden within the Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters until now, was clearly not a fool.

He possesses sufficient vigilance and caution.

He would never jump out the moment the bait is thrown.

He will seek ways to verify it.

Only when conclusive evidence arrives from Manchuria will he cautiously peek out and make his first attempt.

Do not doubt Ye Shaohong's judgment.

Because if he were in his shoes, he would make the same choice.

Being in enemy territory, one could lose their life at any moment if they were not careful.

Even the Japanese soldiers, brainwashed by militarism and staunch militarists, would not easily give up their lives.

Therefore, Ye Shaohong was not involved in the initial investigation at all.

He remained seated in his office, waiting quietly.

Two days later.

Chen Gongshu, who was in Manchuria, sent another encrypted telegram to the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

The telegram claimed that the Manchurian Police Department had taken sudden action in the past two days.

They launched a large-scale manhunt for anti-Japanese personnel.

It seems there are new plans.

This is why their assassination attempt on Shibuya Ichiro was thwarted, and they needed to remain silent for a while, waiting for a new opportunity.

The appearance of this telegram immediately confirmed one thing.

That is, there is indeed a high probability that there is a spy sent by the Kwantung Army within the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

However, the spy was unable to ascertain the true situation and was worried about uncontrollable events in Manchuria, so he simply sent back the information he had heard on the sidelines.

This incident serves as an unexpected warning to intelligence agencies in Manchuria to be on high alert for recent new activities by the Military Intelligence Bureau.

This can be seen as the first attempt by both sides to test the waters.

Both sides are being very cautious.

They are currently making attempts around the Manchurian branch station, focusing on that false intelligence.

It seems that neither side has achieved victory.

However, this was within Ye Shaohong's expectations, so he was not in a hurry. When Chen Gongshu's second telegram was sent back, Ye Shaohong immediately straightened his military uniform and went to Mao Renfeng's office.

The two closed the door and talked for a while before knocking on the door of Dai Yunong's office together.

Another round of whispers ensued.

This is just acting.

Ye Shaohong and Mao Renfeng personally put on a show for the Kwantung Army's spies.

Send him a false signal.

The situation in Manchuria is very serious.

It actually alarmed two bigwigs in the Third Division of the Tenth Bureau of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and even Director Dai Yunong.

Their urgent consultation also indirectly conveyed a message to the undercover spy.

The Military Intelligence Bureau has not given up on its plan.

They are discussing a new operation, and it is so important that it has attracted the attention of several high-ranking officials in the Military Intelligence Bureau.

that's enough.

For spies infiltrating enemy territory, anything that can attract the attention of the enemy's high command is enough to make them keep a close watch on it.

Many parties coveted it.

Next, it was time to cast out new bait. After Ye Shaohong and Mao Renfeng left Dai Yunong's office, Ye Shaohong returned to his own territory.

Where is Mao Renfeng?

He went directly to the telecommunications department, wrote another encrypted telegram, and arranged for it to be sent to Manchuria.

This is yet another probing action.

After this incident, the news also leaked out.

This has drawn attention to the matter from some people.

If the first time someone paid attention to matters concerning Manchuria was simply due to human curiosity, then the fact that people have been paying attention to this matter repeatedly indicates that things are not so simple.

The second batch of suspects identified were also compiled and submitted to the external office.

It was delivered to Chi Tiecheng and Li Yunlong.

Through cross-comparison, it was discovered that the originally broad target of suspects had been narrowed down to just a few individuals. At this point, Ye Shaohong and his team were ready to take action.

We can assign personnel to conduct follow-up investigations on these individuals.

But Ye Shaohong felt it wasn't enough.

He wanted to go all out, to completely solidify the authenticity of the false information by confusing the true with the false.

This was intended to force the Kwantung Army spies lurking within the Military Intelligence Bureau to reveal their true colors.
