Espionage: Mastering the Ten Cruelest Tortures of the Military Intelligence Bureau from the Start

As for what happened next, Su Mingzhe didn't pay much attention to it; he wasn't particularly interested in this kind of gossip.

All he knew was that that afternoon, the cuckold's wife and the cheating businessman were arrested and imprisoned in the Nanjing Military Police prison.

The military police officers showed some mercy to their Japanese compatriots, subjecting each of them to thirty strokes of salt water whipping plus two minutes of electric chair torture, leaving them with broken limbs and half-dead. The interrogation room was filled with the stench of incontinence.

The saying goes that couples are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately. If the two are not even husband and wife, then there is no question of them sharing hardships.

Although neither of them knew what had happened, they instinctively shifted all possible blame onto each other.

Arriving in a place like this, you're either dead or half-dead. Unless you don't want to live anymore, no one will take on all the responsibility like a fool.

However, it was clear that the military police in Nanjing were not interested in listening to the couple's lovemaking, and then gave each of them five lashes.

......

Chief Kagesa has been in a real bind lately. Just now, Commander Nishio called him and berated him for two whole hours.

First, in the competition with the Special Higher Police, the Mei Agency almost lost everything and was squeezed out of the core circle of Shanghai, along with the former Army Military Police.

Apart from some field staff, the Mei Agency now has no directly mobilized personnel, let alone the ability to search for and arrest resistance fighters. Their only role now is to liaise with the Wang Jingwei regime and monitor and support it.

In an attempt to change this situation, Chief Kagesa first tried to gain favor with the Locust Special Envoy, Shinji Kawasugi, and later staked everything on a gamble in the second Battle of Guangzhou.

The result was obvious: he lost miserably.

The high-ranking inside man, on whom Chief Kagesa had placed great hopes, suffered a crushing defeat, indirectly leading to the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Yangcheng. If it weren't for Commander Nishio's intervention, the army officers would have surely killed him.

Then, another smuggling case came up.

Chief Kagesa was already somewhat desperate. Since the establishment of the Mei Agency, he had been getting up earlier than the chickens and going to bed later than the dogs every day, walking on thin ice and daring not to slack off in the slightest.

And then they successfully made things worse.

After pondering for a long time, Chief Kagesa picked up the phone on the table.

"Moshi moshi, is this Captain Yuki? Prepare the car, we're going to the Special Higher Police."

Circumstances dictate that no one can change the situation. No matter how stubborn Chief Kagesa is, he has to admit that he has lost miserably.

Since that's the case, you might as well back down.

His current resume is already a bit too bad; several major blemishes are enough to block his path to promotion to major general. If he can't get promoted, then he'll just have to make a scene. That's the true thought in the mind of Chief Kagesa.

......

In the Special Higher Police Division, in Chief Kurokawa's office, Su Mingzhe was once again enjoying tea with Kurokawa Shigeru.

"I just received news that Lieutenant Colonel Asada will be taking office soon. It seems that Section Chief Tsuchihara trusts him a lot."

Watanabe Kazuya was his student, and it was only through Kurokawa Shigeru's strong recommendation that he was able to take up the position of acting head of the Jinling Special Higher Police Section.

However, Section Chief Tsuchihara made the decision without consulting Shigeru Kurokawa at all. It seems that he was already aware of the infighting between the Special Higher Police and the Ume Agency and was very dissatisfied with it, not just because of the smuggling case.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these happy things."

Kurokawa Shigeru waved his hand.

"We're all trying to live. I've tried so hard, how come he's still alive?"
