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

To avoid arousing suspicion, after a brief exchange, Nakamura Kenichi and his two companions decided to split up.

If someone is unfortunately caught, then the rest will not be exposed.

Yusuke Kobayashi escaped with the radio, which was set with booby traps.

If anyone rashly opens the box and triggers the mechanism, a violent explosion will instantly turn everything around into dust.

However, Su Mingzhe did not expect that a Japanese intelligence team leader happened to pass by Qingxiang Teahouse and happened to see Yan Yun and others checking the accounts.

He then followed Yan Yun and saw him enter Chang'an Station.

This led to the thought that "the head of the Special Higher Police," or rather, Yusuke Kobayashi, had been exposed.

There is no room for complacency in intelligence work; these facts alone are enough to sound the alarm.

As he expected, Kobayashi Yusuke and the others had indeed been exposed.

Meanwhile, Su Mingzhe quickly arranged for people to "invite" the manager and staff of Qingxiang Teahouse to Chang'an Station.

After arranging everything, he headed towards the stationmaster's office.

When Su Mingzhe arrived at the stationmaster's office, he heard melodious music coming from inside.

The station manager is in a great mood lately and is currently enjoying the music playing on the gramophone.

The gramophone was playing the currently popular song "Drizzle," and the stationmaster couldn't help but hum along to the melody.

It has a romantic temperament.

The stationmaster was taken aback at first, then a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face, and he hurriedly reached out to turn off the phonograph.

Being caught by his subordinates slacking off during work hours and carelessly forgetting to close the door made him feel embarrassed.

He cursed the clueless Secretary Tong in his heart, thinking that he would definitely teach him a lesson later.

Just as the stationmaster's thoughts were still wandering over this awkward situation, Su Mingzhe's call of "Stationmaster" pulled him back to reality.

Su Mingzhe ignored the stationmaster's expression and said seriously:

"We have a lead on the head of the Chang'an Special Higher Police Section. I request that Chang'an be sealed off again, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving."

The stationmaster was stunned when he heard this. His eyes widened in disbelief.

In just a few days, they've almost caught the head of the Special Higher Police, who's always been elusive.

The news was so shocking that he was momentarily speechless.

However, Su Mingzhe then added:

“We haven’t found him yet. I will dispatch the entire Operations Division, along with all the patrol officers in the Chang’an area, to conduct a city-wide manhunt. I will find him even if I have to dig three feet into the ground.”

No matter what ideas or plans Su Mingzhe put forward, the station manager would wholeheartedly support them without hesitation.

Just as the two were discussing the operation to arrest the Special Higher Police chief in the office, a series of hurried and chaotic footsteps approached from afar.

Immediately afterwards, Huangfu Xu from the Telecommunications Department rushed towards the stationmaster's office.

Huangfu, the deputy head of the telecommunications department, rushed into the office without even knocking, completely disregarding the important conversation that Su Mingzhe and the station chief were having.

In other departments, such a reckless subordinate with no sense of propriety would probably be sent to clean toilets the next day.

Su Mingzhe and the station chief turned their heads at the same time, their eyes fixed on Deputy Section Chief Huangfu.

"Reporting to the station chief and Section Chief Su, we have detected Japanese spy telegrams. The entire intelligence team in the Chang'an area has been ordered to remain silent and enter a state of infiltration."

Upon hearing this news, Su Mingzhe frowned, a sense of doubt rising in his heart.

Logically, the Japanese spies should have already known about the leaked codebook and had started using a new one.

It's important to understand that deciphering codes is not a simple arithmetic problem for children; it's a difficult process that requires a lot of time and effort to go through trial and error and analysis.

But now, the Telecommunications Department has obtained information from Japanese spies so quickly; this efficiency is truly abnormal.

Su Mingzhe and the station chief stared at Huangfu Xu with puzzled expressions.

Upon seeing this, Huangfu Xu hurriedly explained, "The Japanese spies are using plaintext to send messages. The situation is urgent. Please make a decision quickly, station chief."

Su Mingzhe was startled. It seemed that the Japanese spies had realized the danger of being exposed and were preparing to fight to the death or take the opportunity to escape.

Before Su Mingzhe could even speak, the station manager reacted quickly, rushing to his desk and picking up the phone.

"Quickly connect me to the Chang'an City Garrison Command."

The operator acted quickly, and the call was connected shortly afterward.

The stationmaster shouted urgently into the microphone, "Commander Wang, immediately send men to seal off Chang'an City, and do it quickly!"

Commander Wang, on the other end of the phone, clearly sensed the urgency in Station Chief Song's tone. Without hesitation, he simply said "okay" and immediately began preparing to deploy the blockade.

Su Mingzhe didn't stay idle either; he turned around, said goodbye, and returned to his office.

Inside the office, the manager and staff of Qingxiang Teahouse had all been brought over.

"Sir, sir, we are just ordinary people, we have never done anything wrong, please have mercy and let us go."

After saying that, the shopkeeper reached into his pocket to take out money to settle the matter.

But Su Mingzhe stopped him with a single look.

"Do you remember what Guo Tianyou looked like? Describe his appearance."

After saying that, Su Mingzhe took out drawing paper and pencil, ready to draw on the spot.

The shopkeeper was also quite frightened, but he still carefully recalled Guo Tianyou's physical characteristics.

"He wasn't very tall, only about 1.6 meters, with small eyes, thick lips, and wore glasses."

After thinking for a moment, Su Mingzhe said, "Are there any special facial features, such as a mole or a scar?"

People with distinctive facial features are prohibited from infiltrating, so Su Mingzhe's question is probably pointless, but what if there is one?

This will greatly reduce the scope of the search.

However, the answer disappointed him; the shopkeeper said firmly, "No."

So Su Mingzhe began to paint based on the shopkeeper's description.

In about five minutes, a simple portrait was drawn.

"How does this painting differ from Guo Tianyou's appearance?"

The shopkeeper was dumbfounded after reading it. He had never seen anyone draw a portrait that was five-tenths similar to a person based on a description before.

"The eyes are drawn a bit too big, the bridge of the nose should be more prominent, and the distance between the eyes should be wider."

Based on the shopkeeper's description, Su Mingzhe revised it six more times, finally gaining the unanimous approval of the shopkeeper and all the staff.

The portrait is virtually identical to Guo Tianyou himself.

Su Mingzhe then handed the painting to Shen Bei.

"Order all officers in the Operations Section to assemble. Also, notify all patrol officers in Chang'an City to search for this person based on this portrait. Whoever finds this person will be rewarded with three thousand dollars."
