Chapter 584
As the sun went down, the shooting competition at the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai came to an end. The contestants walked out of the reeds with their prey, and gathered in twos and threes to discuss today's harvest.

Among them, Takashi Ikuta was the most proud. He pointed to a pile of wild ducks on the ground and said something with a smile on his face. Everyone spoke out to flatter them out of awe of the Matsumoto family.

Taking advantage of this time, the short man secretly put three cloth bags into the trunk of a car, and then stood aside as if nothing had happened, watching the other party with a smile and telling others about shooting skills.

Hase Ryosuke frowned, glanced at the triumphant Ikuta Takaki, and then fell into deep thought while looking at the sparkling river. After a long time, he turned around and said to Ono seriously.

"Ono-kun, I've given you a secret mission. After the game, follow Takashi Ikuta to see where he went and who he met. You must not be discovered. Can you do it?"

"Hai, there's no problem."

Ono was refreshed when he heard the words, and immediately said confidently: "Please rest assured, Mr. Hase, my follow-up subjects were very good during the training, and it is impossible for the other party to detect it with their professional ability."

He didn't ask Hase why he followed Takashi Ikuta and stayed in the intelligence department for so long, what to ask and what not to ask, he knew very well that the more he knew, the more dangerous he was.

Hase Ryosuke sighed, he was really a good helper, if it wasn't for the need of the plan, he would really be reluctant to kill the other party, now I can only say sorry, and be a good person in the next life.

At this time, Iwai accompanied the consul, Ishio Shotaro, and he winked at Hase when he said hello. Hase nodded slightly, indicating that he was ready, and Iwai smiled.

Ever since he knew that Takashi Ikuta was following Hase secretly, he has been having trouble sleeping and eating, selling out information about the empire in exchange for money, and if they were found out, they would die, and even his family members would not escape.

Now that the troubles in his heart are gone, Mr. Minister is in a good mood. He got a haircut and walked onto the temporary podium. He said a lot of nonsense to the applause of his subordinates, and then announced the count of prey.

"Minister Iwai, 32."

"Section Chief Chang Gu, 31 of them."

A small secret agent shouted out everyone's achievements, but it was a coincidence that everyone seemed to have discussed it. The level of official position was directly proportional to the number of prey, not more, not less, only one.

The people present didn't seem to be surprised by this result at all, they desperately applauded the two officers' marksmanship, and after Iwai and Hase said they would give up the bonus, the applause became even more sincere.

Takashi Ikuta's smile froze on his face in the audience. Even if these two highest harvesters were removed, the remaining contestants would start with at least 20 contestants, and he was the bottom No.1.

"Baga, cheating, this is cheating."

He really wanted to stand up and denounce the unfairness of the game loudly, but looking at the smiling Consul Ishigu Shetaro, he finally dismissed this dangerous idea, turned around and left with the rifle in his hand.

The short guy hid in the crowd, watched the other party leave with cold eyes, and looked at Ono who was sneaking up behind him, thoughtful in his heart, knowing that Section Chief Hase still had a backup, and Ikuta was doomed.

The other secret agents also noticed this scene, and they all pretended not to see it. An incompetent son-in-law walked away, and then he heard Section Chief Shi Yu Hase say that he invited everyone to the nightclub.

"Long live~"

"Thanks to that bastard gone."

"Thank you, Mr. Hase."

The cheers spread far along the wind, and Takashi Ikuta in the car turned ugly when he heard it. He hammered the steering wheel hard, stepped on the accelerator, and drove quickly towards Laodou's address.

He vowed that when he earned the money to become the deputy director of the intelligence department, he would give back to Ryosuke Hase one by one the insults he suffered today, no, double it to that bastard who only knew how to win people over with sex and money.

Filled with anger, he didn't realize that a car was following unhurriedly not far behind him. Ono, who had disguised his face in the driver's seat, was staring at the front intently, accelerating and decelerating from time to time.

After a short meeting, Ono was surprised to find that the other party was conducting an anti-stalking operation, but this was not an intelligence operation. What was the significance of Ikuta Takashi's actions? Could it be that he was performing a secret mission.

Ono slowly raised his vigilance and used the tracking skills he learned during the training. He didn't dare to relax for a moment. If the important matter of Section Chief Hase was delayed, the days to come would be sad.

The two cars drove along the road for a long distance, and finally stopped at the downstairs of a new-style residence in the public concession. Takashi Ikuta parked the car on the side of the road, and walked into the stairs angrily.

Ono, who was tens of meters away, looked at his surroundings and couldn't help being a little puzzled. As the person in charge of the gun room, he often delivered weapons to the consulate's secret base, but there was absolutely no such place.

In other words, there is a high probability that Takashi Ikuta is not performing a mission. Combined with the previous anti-tracking, this guy must be doing something that cannot be known to others. What could it be?

Yu Qing?
Or a spy?

Ono's heart gradually became hot. If he could catch the opponent, Section Chief Hase would definitely reward him with a lot of money. Of course, he could also use this matter to blackmail the son-in-law of the Matsumoto family.

That is the largest financial family in the empire, and if you just show it from the cracks of your hands, it will be enough for you to eat and drink for a lifetime, but this matter is very dangerous, and it is very easy to play with fire and burn yourself.

After thinking calmly for a while, he got off from the co-pilot's seat and found a hidden location, took out the binoculars to observe the new-style residential building, and tried to find the location of Takashi Ikuta.

Time passed slowly, and night fell.

"Guru~"

Smelling the delicious smell of dinner around him, Ono's stomach groaned with hunger. Just when he decided to find some food, a familiar figure flashed by a certain window.

"The third room from the left on the top floor."

He whispered something to himself, finally the long wait was not in vain, and after hesitating for a few seconds, Ono walked to the small shop across the street and picked up the microphone.

Not long after, Hase Ryosuke in the Hongkou Empire Nightclub was invited by the waiter to answer a mysterious call at the bar. After listening to it, he didn't say anything and wanted to call another number.

"GO, GO, GO!"

Just a few minutes after he made the call, John Kaiser, in his patrol uniform, stood at the door of a large office and shouted, from which a group of armed patrols swarmed out.

The last person walking was Acting Inspector Kuang Fu'an, who quickly ran out of the patrol room with a pistol in hand, quickly jumped onto the pedal of the truck parked in the yard, patted the cockpit and shouted.

"set off!"

"Ulla Ula Ula~~"

The ear-piercing siren sounded, and each police car drove onto the road quickly, accelerated crazily on the lively streets of Shanghai, and drove in one direction, pedestrians and vehicles on the road dodged one after another.
