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

After the awarding ceremony, Su Mingzhe returned to his office with light steps.

He went straight to his desk, opened a drawer, and took out two brand-new sets of officer uniforms.

He picked up the officer's uniform and handed it to Luo Dayou and Shen Bei, saying:

"Both of these military uniforms were custom-made by a tailor according to your body sizes. They also have your names on them, so don't take the wrong ones."

Luo Dayou was straightforward. He grinned, took the military uniform, and started changing his clothes in Su Mingzhe's office without saying a word.

Shen Bei, on the other hand, was a little awkward. He held his military uniform, his face slightly flushed. He was really embarrassed to change clothes here.

The usually ruthless and cold-blooded agent is now behaving like a little girl, which is quite a contrast.

Seeing this, Su Mingzhe chuckled and left the office.

About five minutes later, Su Mingzhe pushed open the door again and returned to his office.

As soon as I entered, I saw Luo Dayou and Shen Bei huddled in front of the mirror in the middle of the office.

Neither of them would give way, each wanting to occupy the best spot in front of the mirror so they could get a good look at themselves in their officer uniforms.

Seeing this, Su Mingzhe smiled, took out the shoulder insignia of a second lieutenant from his pocket, and walked up to them.

A simple ceremony was held in the office to confer titles on the two men.

From this day forward, the two men officially become officers.

As Su Mingzhe put the epaulets on them, he said, "This way they look more like a match."

Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance, and the next second, they knelt down in front of Su Mingzhe with a thud, as if about to kowtow.

They knew that this promotion was a life-changing opportunity for them, and all of this was inseparable from Su Mingzhe's recommendation, which was an immense favor.

Seeing the two kneeling, Su Mingzhe quickly reached out and helped them up.

“We are brothers. Men only kneel to heaven, earth, and their parents. How can they kowtow and bow to me?”

Su Mingzhe then said, "Let's go grab a quick bite. It's lunchtime, and I'm getting a little hungry."

With that, he pulled the two of them out of Chang'an Station.

I had only taken a few steps outside when I heard shouts of "Extra! Extra!" coming from afar.

Looking in the direction of the sound, one could see a newsboy holding a thick stack of newspapers, surrounded by a crowd.

Why are today's newspapers so popular?

Shen Bei said with a face full of curiosity.

"Go, have a look."

After saying that, Su Mingzhe led the two of them quickly toward the crowd and squeezed in.

The newspapers sold out incredibly quickly; in no time at all, the newspaper boy's thick stack of newspapers was reduced to just one sheet.

Su Mingzhe reacted quickly and snatched the last newspaper.

The newspaper headline read, “The Xiao Family Annihilated,” accompanied by a gruesome picture of the Xiao family after their massacre.

Su Mingzhe looked at the newspaper, let out a long breath, and his eyes revealed a sense of satisfaction.

It seems that Boss Dai has finally made his move, and these traitors have met a fitting end.

He thought to himself: Next will be another major power reshuffle in Xiao's army, right? I wonder how much Chang'an Station will benefit from this purge.

"You haven't given me the money yet."

The newsboy's childish voice pulled Su Mingzhe back from his reverie.

Su Mingzhe then came to his senses and hurriedly took out a banknote from his pocket and handed it to the newsboy.

This banknote was clearly worth far more than the newspaper.

The newsboy took the money, looked at it, and hurriedly said, "I don't have that much change. Why don't you come back to the newspaper office with me, and I'll get the money and give you your change?"

Su Mingzhe waved his hand with a smile, in a great mood: "No need, the rest is your tip."

Upon hearing this, the newsboy's face lit up with joy. After thanking him repeatedly, he skipped and hopped towards the newspaper office.

After this little incident, Su Mingzhe had originally planned to take Luo Dayou and Shen Bei to the restaurant to fill his empty stomach.

But before they could take two steps, Su Mingzhe's gaze was suddenly drawn to a figure.

A person was seen hurrying towards Chang'an Station.

Su Mingzhe frowned slightly and stared at the figure for a while.

He thought to himself: Why does this figure look more and more familiar? Upon closer inspection, wasn't that Yan Yun?

Yan Yun was one of the field agents responsible for investigating the whereabouts of the Special Higher Police Chief.

Seeing him rushing back to Chang'an Station so hastily, Su Mingzhe immediately guessed that there must be new progress in the case.

Thinking of this, Su Mingzhe immediately gave up the idea of ​​eating.

He tucked the newspaper into his pocket, winked at Luo Dayou and Shen Bei, and then led the two of them into the station.

The atmosphere in the office was somewhat heavy.

As soon as Yan Yun entered the room, his eyes were drawn to the brand-new second lieutenant uniforms worn by Luo Dayou and Shen Bei.

He was momentarily stunned, but quickly regained his composure, turned to Su Mingzhe, and reported solemnly:

"Reporting to Team Leader Su, we have made a major discovery. We have found a person suspected to be the head of the Special Higher Police."

Yan Yun had been busy with fieldwork these past few days and was unaware of Su Mingzhe's promotion to captain and deputy section chief.

So he was still addressed as team leader, but Su Mingzhe did not correct his mistake in addressing him.

His eyes lit up, and he immediately focused:

"Tell me quickly, what happened?"

Yan Yun continued:

“We conducted a detailed investigation of Qingxiang Teahouse, carefully checked the account books, and interviewed the shopkeeper and staff one by one.”

It was discovered that there was indeed a middle-aged man named Guo Tianyou who hadn't been to the teahouse recently.

Every time he came to Qingxiang Teahouse, he would bring an attendant with him, and they would always sit in a private room on the second floor.

We went into the private room and found a screen separating the entrance from the interior.

Yan Yun paused for a moment, then continued:

“We conducted further on-site investigations into his background.”

Guo Tianyou claimed that he came here from out of town to do business, and that only his wife had come to Chang'an with him.

They had no children, and no one around them had ever seen their parents or other family members.

Moreover, although he is a businessman, he never personally manages the shops under his name; he delegates them to others, content to be a hands-off manager.

Moreover, according to our investigation, these store managers were all temporarily recruited locally in Chang'an and had no connection with him.

It does seem rather strange that he so readily entrusted all business profits and losses to a few outsiders, without fearing they might manipulate the accounts to line their own pockets.

"Have you found any trace of him?"

Su Mingzhe looked at Yan Yun and asked.

Yan Yun thought Su Mingzhe was going to blame him, so he looked away and lowered his voice.

"No."

That's right, no problem!

A businessman who never shows his face is so unseen that even experienced investigators who want to investigate him can't find him.

They practically had their suspicion written all over their faces.
