Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Chapter 390: The First Round of High-End Game (End)
In the next few days, the Shanghai district operated according to Zhang Anping's will.

Xu Baichuan, under the alias of Xu Wenju, pretended to be a special envoy from the Chongqing Bureau headquarters. With the help of Zhan Zhenshan, he began to contact the middle and high-level officials who stayed behind in Hengshe and the middle and high-level officials in the Qing Gang, and promoted the [Shanghai Anti-Japanese Unification Committee].

Some prominent tycoons in the Green Gang were appointed as committee members by Xu Baichuan.

The Japanese seemed to have not heard a word of it, and just let Xu Baichuan talk like this, ignoring everything, as if they were deaf.

But are the Japanese really deaf?

of course not!

In fact, Matsumuro Yoshitaka was also a little confused at this time.

He was sure that there was definitely something wrong with the so-called Chongqing envoy!
It is highly likely that the Chinese would not have thought that Zhan Zhenshan was actually a Japanese, but the Military Control Commission would definitely label Zhan Zhenshan as a "traitor"!
But why has the Military Control Commission's special envoy been colluding with the Green Gang members with Zhan Zhenshan these days?

At this time, a piece of information sent by Zhang Xiaolin was placed in front of him.

Zhang Xiaolin's apprentice Chang Zhaojun, introduced by Zhan Zhenshan, met Xu Wenju secretly and was invited to join the Shanghai Anti-Japanese Unification Committee.

"Could it be that the Military Control Commission was kept in the dark by Da Jing?"

The moment this conjecture came to my mind, it was rejected by Matsumuro Yoshitaka.

If the Military Intelligence Bureau was so incompetent, it would not have become a thorn in the side of the Japanese spy agency!
Unable to find an idea, Matsumuro Yoshitaka closed his eyes and began to think.

Just as he was lost in thought, the secretary knocked on the door and entered. He quickly walked up to Matsumuro Yoshitaka and whispered in his ear:
"Chief, Zhan Zhenshan is here."

"Let him in!"

Matsumuro Yoshitaka perked up, and when Zhan Zhenshan came in, he was about to pour him tea with a smile, but unexpectedly, Zhan Zhenshan said impatiently:
"Director, do you know who Xu Wenju is?"

Matsumuro Yoshitaka secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't hear the words "something happened". He smiled and said:
"Could it be that he holds an important position in the Chongqing Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters?"

"No!"

Zhan Zhenshan said in an incredible tone:
"His real name is...Xu Baichuan!"

"Xu Baichuan?" Matsumuro Yoshitaka repeated calmly, and then said in an extremely incredible tone:

"Xu Baichuan?!"

He was a little confused. Xu Baichuan? Xu Baichuan, the mayor of Shanghai District?
"Correct!"

Zhan Zhenshan suppressed his excitement: "Today, when I met Chang Zhaojun with Xu Baichuan, I happened to meet Qu Yuanmu - he worked at No. 76 and had been involved with me in the past. Although he doesn't know my true identity, he knows that I am loyal to the empire!

After parting with Xu Baichuan, he met me secretly and took out a portrait for me to identify. I confirmed that the person in the portrait was Xu Wenju! "

"And that portrait is of Xu Baichuan, the former head of the Military Control Commission's Special District 1!"

Zhan Zhenshan was filled with excitement.

hiss--

Matsuro Yoshitaka gasped.

Xu Baichuan!
Mayor of Shanghai District, the number one enemy of the Shanghai Imperial Army!
"He is actually Xu Baichuan!"

Matsumuro Yoshitaka was a little confused. Xu Baichuan, the mayor of Shanghai District, was actually hanging out with Zhan Zhenshan under the pseudonym Xu Wenjuan - this situation was weird no matter how you looked at it!

Zhan Zhenshan was very excited: "Chief, this is a rare opportunity. I think we must secretly arrest him!"

Secret arrest?

Matsumuro Yoshitaka was moved.

At this moment, it was as if there was a peerless beauty teasing him nakedly in front of him.

How could he not be moved?

However, he poured a bucket of cold water on himself.

It’s very simple, because he has had enough of the Military Control Commission’s bait!

After taking a deep breath, Matsumuro Yoshitaka asked, "Oi-kun, how did you get here?"

Zhan Zhenshan said confidently: "Are you afraid that I will be exposed? Please rest assured, Chief, I left through a secret passage. Even if someone is watching me, they won't know!"

Ever since the Japanese witnessed the special group's secret passage tactics, people like Zhan Zhenshan naturally wanted to learn and apply them.

"Oi-kun, don't be careless!" Matsumuro Yoshitaka said in a deep voice: "If this person is really Xu Baichuan, you must be the focus of his surveillance! Go back now! I will find a way to check his identity!"

Zhan Zhenshan wanted to say something else, but Matsumuro Yoshitaka gave him a serious look. He could only respond and leave reluctantly.

Checking Xu Baichuan's identity was an excuse.

Because Matsumuro Yoshitaka was certain from the beginning that the so-called special envoy of the Chongqing headquarters, Xu Wenju, must be from the Shanghai district - in this case, how could he possibly suspect that Zhan Zhenshan's information was wrong?

But again, he had eaten too many baits and didn’t believe that the Shanghai district would give him a kill!
After pacing back and forth for a few times, Matsumuro Yoshitaka gritted his teeth, picked up the phone and dialed the Doihara Mansion.

"General, it's me."

"Is something wrong?"

"Zhan Zhenshan came to see me just now and revealed a shocking piece of information. Xu Wenju, who claimed to be a special envoy of the Chongqing Military Intelligence Bureau, is suspected to be Xu Baichuan, the mayor of the Shanghai District!"

Doihara on the other end of the phone was stunned:
"Matsumuro-kun, what is the purpose of your call?"

"General, I'm not sure whether I should arrest him. I'm worried..."

Doihara interrupted Matsumuro Yoshitaka:
"Matsumuro-kun! You said something—"

"The Military Control Commission already knew Da Jing's identity, right?"

"Yes."

Doihara said coldly: "Mr. Matsumuro, if that's the case, then why are you still hesitating? We didn't do anything before in order to see what the Shanghai District was going to do! We watched him making connections everywhere in order to completely eliminate the unrest in the Green Gang!"

"So, what are you worried about?"

Matsumuro Yoshitaka was stunned. Yes, what am I worried about?
"I understand!"

……

Just when Matsumuro Yoshitaka made up his mind, the door of a car was opened on Huage Nickel Road in the French Concession, and a peddler quickly got into the car.

The peddler said to Xu Baichuan who was dozing in the car:

"District Commander, I received a call. The person has been photographed and has come out of the Matsushiro Agency."

Xu Baichuan yawned: "Got it - notify the brothers and prepare to close the net."

"Yes!"

About ten minutes later, a car drove up from a distance and turned into a villa. Then a man wearing a top hat left the villa and walked quickly towards a house more than a hundred meters away from the Zhan family.

This person is naturally Zhan Zhenshan.

But after entering the room, the smell of blood made Zhan Zhenshan realize that something was wrong, but the next second, two daggers were pointed at his back.

The tight feeling made Zhan Zhenshan feel cold all over. He forced himself to calm down:
"Is he from the family (or the same gang)?"

Xu Baichuan's voice sounded slowly:
"Brother Zhan, you guessed wrong."

At this moment, Zhan Zhenshan was covered in cold sweat.

He forced a smile and said, "Brother Xu, what do you mean?"

Xu Baichuan walked slowly to Zhan Zhenshan. After several of his men tied up Zhan Zhenshan, he smiled and said:

"Let's get to know each other again, Xu Baichuan!"

Zhan Zhenshan's mind raced and he acted shocked and surprised: "District Chief Xu?"

"Stop pretending!"

Xu Baichuan sneered: "Do you really think I didn't notice the abnormality of that spy?"

As he spoke, he threw a photo at Zhan Zhenshan's face. After the photo fell to the ground, Zhan Zhenshan glanced at it and realized that this was a picture of Qu Yuanmu being secretly photographed when he came to his house.

Does Xu Baichuan know Qu Yuanmu’s identity?

The answer is of course I know!
But only a fool would say something like, "Qu Yuanmu is my man!"

"Brother Xu, you..." Zhan Zhenshan pretended to be doubtful with a fluke, but Xu Baichuan interrupted coldly:
"Don't you know how the eight Vajras under your command died?" After saying this, Zhan Zhenshan completely gave up struggling.

"Why?" He stared at Xu Baichuan: "Since you know my identity, why are you still approaching me?!"

"Why? Of course it's to stop some people from thinking about it!"

While Xu Baichuan was speaking, he suddenly attacked. A flash of cold light flashed across Zhan Zhenshan's neck. When he said the word "that's all", blood flowed out from Zhan Zhenshan's throat.

Several men held down Zhan Zhenshan, whose trachea was being rushed by blood. Xu Baichuan stood in front of him, watching Zhan Zhenshan's final struggle expressionlessly.

When Zhan Zhenshan completely stopped struggling, Xu Baichuan signaled his men to bring the camera to take pictures.

After the flash of the spotlight, Xu Baichuan sneered:

"Now, some people...can't sit on the fence anymore!"

……

Zhan Zhenshan must die!

The identity of Du Yuesheng's apprentice protected him for a long time, but it was also this identity that doomed him to death!

Xu Baichuan, under the name of Xu Wenju, the special envoy of the Chongqing Bureau, met many bigwigs of the Green Gang under the introduction of Zhan Zhenshan.

But the people we saw were actually all those “marked” by the Shanghai District as having unclear positions!

Contact them in the name of [Shanghai Anti-Japanese Unification Committee] - When the introducer Zhan Zhenshan was confirmed to be a traitor, how should these Green Gang members who contacted Xu Baichuan respond?
Of course, there were two other calculations during this period.

The first level is to prepare for Qu Yuanmu's ascension to the throne;

The second level is to sneak into Chencang!

Zhan Zhenshan took Xu Baichuan to visit the Green Gang members. After Xu Baichuan stated his purpose, naturally someone would give him the cold shoulder - these people would undoubtedly become pro-Japanese people in the eyes of the Japanese.

Xu Baichuan's second purpose was to use this opportunity to send several staunch anti-Japanese patriots to the Japanese list of pro-Japanese elements.

Now that these goals have been achieved, Zhan Zhenshan has lost his usefulness and it is natural for him to leave.

That night, several newspapers received photos and "manuscripts" sent in by anonymous people. These manuscripts revealed evidence that Zhan Zhenshan, a core member of Hengshe, a rising star of the Green Gang, and a disciple of Du Yuesheng, one of the three tycoons, had defected to the Japanese.

There are only two photos. The first one is a photo of Zhan Zhenshan being killed, and the other one is a photo of Zhan Zhenshan wearing this clothes sneaking into the Doihara Agency.

These two photos proved that he was a traitor!
Early the next morning, the newsboys shouted happily:
"Qing Gang rising star Zhan Zhenshan was stabbed to death!"

"Zhan Zhenshan's stance revealed!"

In just one hour, the news that Zhan Zhenshan was a traitor spread throughout Shanghai.

At one point, many Green Gang leaders who had met with Zhan Zhenshan in the past few days changed color and shouted:

"grass!"

……

Before the news of Zhan Zhenshan's murder came out, Matsumuro Yoshitaka received the news.

To be precise, it was two o'clock in the morning. After calling the Zhan family many times without finding anyone, Matsumuro Yoshitaka sent a liaison to the Zhan family. Finally, in the yard at the entrance of the secret passage, he found Zhan Zhenshan, who had suffocated to death due to blood blocking his trachea.

Upon receiving the news that Zhan Zhenshan was killed, Matsumuro Yoshitaka immediately dispatched the action team within the Matsumuro agency to capture Xu Wenju in several places.

The final result was naturally that nothing was caught.

At this time, newspapers also came out, Zhan Zhenshan's identity as a traitor was confirmed, and Yan Shuangying's name was once again spread.

His subordinates brought today's newspaper. After reading the news in the newspaper, Matsumuro Yoshitaka realized why Zhan Zhenshan was killed at this time!
"Idiot! What an idiot!"

Matsumuro Yoshitaka cursed angrily - if Zhan Zhenshan had not approached him directly, but through intelligence transmission or even phone calls, he would have caught Xu Baichuan by now!

But Zhan Zhenshan, that idiot, was so self-righteous that he insisted on taking the secret passage to come to him in person!

Just as I was feeling angry, the phone rang shrilly.

Matsumuro Yoshitaka's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively felt that it was Doihara calling.

I picked up the phone and realized my intuition was right.

"Matsumuro-kun, are you discouraged?"

"Mr. Doihara, I'm very sorry. It's me..."

"It has nothing to do with you!" Doihara interrupted Matsumuro Yoshitaka's self-examination: "Is there someone missing from Oi's house?"

Matsumuro Yoshitaka said with shame: "Yes!"

"Haha..." Doihara laughed on the other end of the phone: "So... Ooi is really courting death!"

From the perspective of Doihara and Matsumuro Yoshitaka, the reason why Zhan Zhenshan was killed at this time was very simple:
The Military Control Commission has evidence!

Since the Military Control Commission established contact with Zhan Zhenshan, Zhan Zhenshan has met with Matsumuro Yoshitaka twice.

One of the goals of the Military Intelligence Bureau was to prove that Zhan Zhenshan had defected to Japan. The first time they found Matsumuro Yoshitaka, they let the Military Intelligence Bureau's spies in the Zhan family realize the existence of the secret passage, and the second time they could naturally kill him to collect evidence.

After scolding Zhan Zhenshan, Doihara asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Matsumuro, I heard that you arrested one of the spies in Unit 76?"

"Yes, I suspect he is a spy of the Military Control Commission."

The spy the two were talking about was naturally Qu Yuanmu.

Zhan Zhenshan died. In the evening, Qu Yuanmu found Zhan Zhenshan and confirmed Xu Wenju's true identity. At night, Zhan Zhenshan died at the entrance of the secret passage.

It was natural to suspect that there was something wrong with Qu Yuanmu, so Matsumuro Yoshitaka arrested Qu Yuanmu.

Unexpectedly, Doihara said coldly on the phone: "Let him go!"

"Your Excellency, I think it is necessary to conduct a trial, in case he..."

Doihara asked, "Matsumuro-kun, do you think he is a member of the resistance?"

Matsumuro Yoshitaka was silent for a moment before saying, "Not big."

Doihara on the other end of the phone laughed. Matsumuro Yoshitaka was really stubborn. How could this be called not big?

Obviously not!
The reason is simple. As the district mayor of Shanghai, Xu Baichuan has no reason to reveal his identity to the Japanese!
"So, do you want Xu Baichuan to know that we already know that Xu Wenju is him?"

Doihara's words left Matsumuro Yoshitaka a little confused.

"Matsumuro-kun," Doihara said in a gentle tone, "From the fact that Xu Baichuan met with Ooi under the name of Xu Wenju, can we be sure that this person is bold and imaginative?"

"This is very important! Especially since he doesn't know that we already know this - do you understand?"

"I understand!"

Matsumuro Yoshitaka immediately understood Doihara's thinking. As long as this matter was not made public, it would still be possible to catch Xu Baichuan by following the name Xu Wenjuan.

Furthermore, even if we can't catch him, we can use this to determine his style of doing things. The other party is unaware of this situation. If he continues to do this next time, won't we be able to catch him directly?
Although the possibility is low, it is a possibility after all!
Torturing Qu Yuanmu or silencing him would leave loopholes - No. 76 had leaks everywhere, and if a middle-level manager was hastily eliminated, it would be easily discovered if someone was interested.

On the contrary, leaving Qu Yuanmu behind would keep the secret more secret!
After making sure that Matsumuro Yoshitaka understood, Doihara asked again:

"Killing Da Jing and reporting it in the newspapers, what do you think Xu Baichuan is up to this time, Mr. Matsumuro?"

"I think he wants to force the Green Gang members to make a choice!"

"Yes! So, do you understand what to do?"

"Don't worry, sir!" Matsumuro Yoshitaka shouted, "I will let Zhang Xiaolin take action! It's time for him to make his position clear!"

Doihara warned:

"Mr. Matsumuro, among the gangs that the Military Control Commission has won over, we must not let go of those fence-sitters who can be won over, and we must eliminate the stubborn ones with the power of thunder!"

"Yes!"

At this time, Doihara had not yet realized that the battlefield had been successfully switched to the Green Gang by Zhang Anping!

In the first round of confrontation, Zhang Anping... won!

　I am resurrected.
