Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Chapter 587: The Turbulence Started from the Death Scheme

Zhang Anping made several predictions about Ito Masashi's choice and gave each prediction a corresponding probability - in Zhang Anping's assumption, the possibility of Ito making this choice was only 10% at most.

But the other party chose the most difficult path.

As an opponent, Ito chose the most difficult direction to make a breakthrough. This spirit is worthy of admiration.

In every country, there are all kinds of people who move forward in the face of difficulties, and such people are worthy of admiration.

It's a pity that I am his opponent. As a qualified opponent, my greatest admiration for him is to make Ito empty-handed.

Zhang Anping thought about it seriously.

His original idea was to make Jiang Sian firm in his character, so as to be removed from Ito Masashi's list of suspects - but judging from Ito's current plans, his intention to get rid of Jiang Sian was obvious, otherwise he would not have been able to hide his back-up plan.

After all, close cooperation is based on honesty, and Jiang Sian, as Okamoto Heiji, was honest.

But Ito kidnapped Jiang Sian with the excuse of justice and deceived him with the surprise attack, but he never admitted it - in this kind of cooperative relationship of overcoming difficulties, if one party does not choose to admit it, it is clear that he has evil intentions.

Therefore, Jiang Sian and Zhang Anping easily saw the evil intentions behind Ito.

There is a high probability that Ito will use the backlash of this network of interests to trap Jiang Sian - when Jiang Sian has caused too much hatred, there will be no place for him to stand in Shanghai.

There is even a high possibility that they will be abandoned by the navy, die in a stinking ditch, or be sunk into the Huangpu River and never be heard from again.

"pity……"

"You made the wrong choice from the beginning. People, never expect too much!"

Zhang Anping muttered softly.

After this time, Ito is likely to become the head of the Shanghai secret agency with the shortest term of office.

But the path is ultimately chosen by oneself.

Zhang Anping calmed down and began to think about how to maximize his benefits.

He has a lot of things to do now.

The banknote making templates received from Chongqing have no starting point;

I took over Wang Tianfeng's plan to confuse the enemy (death spy plan), but now I only have a general idea, that is, this is the old Wang who can be patient. If it were Xu Baichuan and Zheng Yaoxian, they would probably annoy me to death at this time;
There is also the matter of Yang Shuquan and the secret telegram.

He must take this opportunity to accomplish these three things as much as possible.

After summarizing for half a day, Zhang Anping sorted out the goals he wanted to achieve:

1. Let Ito obtain the code book reasonably;

2. Save Jiang Sian.

This time, Ito and Jiang Sian joined forces. Ito had evil intentions from the beginning, but Jiang Sian cooperated with him as Okamoto Heiji. Even if Jiang Sian betrayed Ito in the end, he had to make Ito think that he had been plotting against him from the beginning, not that there was something wrong with Okamoto Heiji.

3. The perfect conclusion of the secret telegram incident;
4. Banknote printing templates...

As for the fourth matter, Zhang Anping doesn't have much clue yet and is currently investigating. Fortunately, there is still enough time and there is no need to rush to solve it. However, the other three matters are imminent and must be solved at this opportunity.

……

The Japanese puppet government and the Military Intelligence Bureau are still searching for the secret telegram books. After all, the Military Intelligence Bureau cannot see the light of day in the enemy-occupied area, but because of this incident, they have to mobilize all their forces.

The situation in Shanghai was relatively better, because the secret service and the Okamoto Company were fighting each other, and many famous spies were imprisoned. In addition, Zhang Anping was always keeping an eye on the situation and paying attention to the cleanup work, so there was almost no loss.

However, the Military Control Commission stations in Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces suffered considerable losses due to their frequent and high-intensity operations.

It was precisely because of these accumulated losses that the Japanese were certain that Yang Shuquan was not a Military Intelligence Bureau agent and had never fallen into the hands of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

After a long search without results, the Japanese gradually lost their patience. They thought that after so much time had passed, it was unlikely to find Yang Shuquan, so they began to discuss recommending to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to replace the secret telegram book.

At this time, a piece of news forced Ito Masashi, who was secretly planning, to secretly leave Shanghai and rush to a small town west of Huai'an County.

Ito was greeted by a lieutenant colonel from the Subei Military Police Command. He took Ito to a temporary morgue and gave a brief introduction on the way:

"A fisherman named Liu Laizi fished him out while fishing and found a torn ID on him. Liu Laizi was illiterate, but it was the village headman who discovered the words 'Yang' and 'Quan' on the soaked ID and reported it to me through layers of authorities."

"I specially invited the imperial medical examiner to perform an autopsy on the body and determined that the time of his drowning was similar to the time when Yang Shuquan disappeared."

"However, apart from this document that was torn in two, no other items that could prove the identity were found."

Ito asked: "Are you sure he drowned?"

"Yes, and there were stones tied to his body, and his hands were tied behind his back. This is the usual method used by the Hongze Lake pirates to drown people in the river."

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the temporary corpse storage area. The lieutenant colonel took Ito inside, but he did not go directly to the corpse storage area. Instead, he came to a tent and pointed to a washed piece of clothing and said:

"Chief, this is the clothing the body was wearing when it was fished out. This new one was purchased specifically for the style and color."

Ito motioned for a staff officer who was accompanying him to come over and take a look. After taking a look at the new clothes, the staff officer affirmed:
"Yang Shuquan has worn clothes like this."

At this point, we can basically make the following conclusion:
When Yang Shuquan was passing through Huai'an, he was targeted by someone. After robbing Yang Shuquan, the other party found out that Yang Shuquan had a background in the Japanese military headquarters, so he chose to kill him to silence him.

If any items related to Yang Shuquan are found among the pirates in Hongze Lake, it can be basically concluded that Yang Shuquan was robbed by the pirates in Hongze Lake during his escape and eventually died.

However, Ito was not reassured, and he said to the lieutenant colonel:
"Take me to see the body."

The lieutenant colonel had no choice but to continue leading the way - the corpse had been soaked in water for nearly two months. Even though he had killed countless people with brutal methods, he definitely didn't want to see it a second time after seeing it once.

But after Ito Masashi entered wearing a mask, he studied the body that had been cut by the forensic doctor for a long time, and kept asking the forensic doctor various questions.

The lieutenant colonel thought that this would be the end of it, but unexpectedly Ito said that he would guard the place well and he would invite another forensic doctor from Shanghai.

If it were just that, it would be fine, but Ito's next move left the lieutenant colonel dumbfounded.

He actually asked the Sudong Gendarmerie Command to secretly send agents to infiltrate the pirates in the Hongze Lake area to secretly search for a few things.

The lieutenant colonel flatly refused, but unexpectedly Ito went directly to the gendarmerie commander. After some explanation, the gendarmerie commander personally gave the order and the lieutenant colonel was responsible for its execution.

The unfortunate lieutenant colonel had no choice but to recruit a number of traitors and secretly dispatch several agents under his command to sneak into the pirates' hideouts in the Hongze Lake area to conduct various types of investigations.

Finally, seven days later, Ito got what he wanted: the "remains" of a secret code book that had been treated as waste paper by a group of children for two months.

These included many folded paper toys, as well as several pieces of "waste paper" that were so windy and sun-baked that the words on them were unclear and had some black and brown stuff on them. The remaining debris also showed signs of various tossings by the children.

Through the above evidence, it can be clearly determined that the secret book eventually fell into the hands of the pirates, but they did not know the importance of this secret book. They thought it was a normal Japanese military manual and passed it to the children, who then destroyed it at will. The pictures humiliating the Japanese drawn by the children on many of the torn pages can prove this.

After Ito studied it carefully, he finally put his mind at ease.

This is definitely a result that cannot be faked.

……

As soon as Ito left, someone emerged from the Hongze Lake bandits.

This person is Li Bohan!
At this time, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself:
Ito, Ito, no matter how cunning you are, you still have to drink the teacher's foot washing water in the end!

All of this was naturally within Zhang Anping's calculations. Ito carefully made many aspects of "identification", but in the end it was all within Zhang Anping's calculations - all the details that Ito wanted to pursue were exactly what Zhang Anping had carefully reminded him of.

He did all this perfectly, there's no way Ito could find out!

After this matter came to an end, he began to arrange the whereabouts of a group of counterfeiters - this group of counterfeiters who were quite famous among all walks of life in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were secretly brought to Hongze Lake by him. It was precisely because of the assistance of such a group of counterfeiting experts that Ito's multi-faceted and detailed investigations all led to the correct conclusions.

At this time, these "masters" who were good at various types of forgery would be sent to Chongqing by him personally.

For the next period of time, or before the end of the Anti-Japanese War, this group of people had to live in isolation from the world and serve under Zhang Guanfu.

……

Shanghai.

After returning from Huai'an, Ito secretly met with officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Shanghai at the headquarters and handed over the conclusions of his investigation to the other party.

After reading the conclusion, officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs breathed a sigh of relief.

“I hope this won’t happen again!”

After warning the commander, the official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs left. The garrison commander, who looked very unhappy after being warned, immediately ordered the cancellation of the pursuit of Yang Shuquan, but was unexpectedly stopped by Ito.

"Ito-kun, what do you mean?"

"Commander, please give me a few days!"

"Ok?"

Ito Masashi explained, "I have temporarily blocked the news. Zhang Shihao must not know Yang Shuquan's current situation. The Military Control Commission will definitely continue to search for this person all over the world. I want to take this opportunity to find more clues about the Military Control Commission."

"Okay, then I'll do as you say, but it will take at most ten days. Once the time is up, you must ask all the departments to stop pursuing them. Do you understand?"

"Please rest assured, ten days will be enough."

Ito Masashi made a solemn promise.

"That's good—" The commander wanted to leave, but stopped halfway and looked at Ito:

"Ito-kun, you are very good, and Okamoto Heiji is also very good. I am very pleased that you can work together in secret."

Ito said modestly: "It's all for the empire."

But after the commander left the reception room, Ito Masashi's expression became gloomy.

This sentence sounded like a compliment, but he understood that Okamoto was worried that he would backstab him, so he deliberately informed the commander of this matter - to check him, so that he would not backstab him and make the commander unhappy. "I should change my plan..."

"Okamoto, Okamoto, do you think this will stop me?"

"You wish! Four slaps! Who the hell are you to slap me four times!"

After Ito returned to the Ito Agency with a lot on his mind, he temporarily suppressed the unhappiness brought by Okamoto. He stared at the map of Shanghai, but in his heart he was thinking about Zhang Shihao.

【Three days! 】

[If Zhang Shihao fails to make the necessary response within three days, it means one thing: the secret message book has actually fallen into the hands of the Military Control Commission. He would rather pay a higher price to continue this drama! ]

Although Ito confirmed from all the clues that Yang Shuquan had drowned long ago, he had no choice but to face Zhang Shihao. So even though he swore to the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that the secret telegram had not been obtained by the Military Control Commission, the lessons learned by many of his predecessors were there, so he forced himself to prepare for the worst.

Now is an opportunity to verify it.

……

There was a rhythmic knock on the door. Zhang Anping walked over lazily to open the door, not at all surprised to see Wang Tianfeng appear outside.

Wang Tianfeng came in and sat down without any hesitation, and went straight to the point: "I received news that Yang Shuquan is dead, and the secret telegram book has fallen into the hands of the Japanese again."

"It seems like it's all in vain," Zhang Anping sighed, "We need to ask all departments to stop searching for Yang Shuquan."

As Zhang Anping spoke, he made a gesture, and Wang Tianfeng keenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps going away in the house.

Wang Tianfeng's eyes never left Zhang Anping's face. After Zhang Anping made the gesture and the footsteps in the room faded away, he said in a serious tone:
"This matter...is not like your style!"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"You shouldn't have found him later than the Japanese."

Zhang Anping laughed: "Old Wang, you have too much confidence in me, don't you?"

Wang Tianfeng said calmly: "Intuition."

Zhang Anping did not continue to deny it because there was no need.

He sighed secretly in his heart. It was really frustrating to be suspected for such a reason!

In the original time and space, the reason why Lao Zheng was suspected by Lao Dai and his successor Mao Renfeng was not because Lao Zheng was not confidential, but because he had won every battle against the Japanese in the past and became the famous Guizi Liu among the Eight Vajras. However, after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Guizi Liu was not good at anything, which was in serious conflict with his personality.

If he hadn't acted decisively and escaped from the vortex with a disillusioned move, he would have been exposed sooner or later.

I am in the same situation. This defeat is very reasonable from all aspects. But in the eyes of people like Wang Tianfeng, no result is the biggest unreasonableness!

He admitted: "Yang Shuquan is our man, he is now at the bureau headquarters."

Wang Tianfeng, who was used to being calm, showed an expression of "as expected" on his face, but then he said in confusion:
"In that case, why do you stop now? Because of the information I brought?"

"Ito is a very cautious person. The Japanese have not yet spread the news that Yang Shuquan is dead. He must be waiting on purpose."

"But the reason he was waiting was not to capture more of our people, but to see how I would respond."

Zhang Anping smiled and said, "It's only been two days, and you've received the news. With Zhang Shihao's ability, he should have received it. If he doesn't stop now, he's deliberately confusing us."

Wang Tianfeng nodded thoughtfully, and then said:

"The second thing is that the Okamoto Company and the Ito Agency are still fighting. As far as I know, more than ten officers in the Ito Agency have been arrested. Is there something wrong with this?"

After he arranged the assassination of Heiji Okamoto, he learned of Heiji Okamoto's identity.

It makes sense for Okamoto Company to fight to the death with Ito Agency - but this is not in line with Zhang Anping's style of doing things.

Zhang Anping would never let his nails look so stupid.

"Yes, it's a big problem."

Zhang Anping said with a sinister smile: "These spies who were theoretically arrested are now hiding in the dark, waiting to show their ink-smeared daggers at the critical moment and stab you and me to death."

Wang Tianfeng remained unmoved.

Are you kidding? Since everything is under Zhang Anping's control, no matter how the other party plans, it will be in vain in the end.

Then, he continued to drink tea in front of the hostile guest without saying a word, and showed no intention of leaving.

Zhang Anping pretended that Wang Tianfeng didn't exist and lay in the rocking chair like an old man, but he didn't outlast Wang Tianfeng this time and finally had to admit defeat - he said helplessly:
"Tell me, what are you waiting for?"

Wang Tianfeng asked: "How is your arrangement going?"

There was only one thing that kept him going like this:

A plan to confuse the enemy!

Zhang Anping rolled his eyes: "Why didn't you ask earlier? Go in, first drawer, the plan at the top."

"See for yourself!"

Zhang Anping kept the secret, then started rocking on the recliner like an eighty-year-old man.

……

"Has it stopped?"

Ito received feedback from his subordinates immediately.

The KMT forces in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces ceased their activities at the same time. The Japanese, who had been keeping an eye on the KMT and trying to find opportunities from it, were naturally the first to react.

"I see—you go down."

Ito knelt down, closed his eyes and began to think.

The current situation is exactly the same as the result I expected.

In other words, he won a game against Zhang Shihao.

But, this round of victory... feels a bit unsatisfactory!

He even suppressed his joy and asked himself solemnly:

Did you really win?

So, he knelt down to calm himself down and kept thinking.

Did you really win?
Thinking of Zhang Shihao mentioned by Okamoto Heiji, Ito made another assumption:
What if, what if all this was Zhang Shihao’s plan?

That would be the worst outcome - the secret book has already fallen into the hands of the Military Control Commission, and the other party wants to make them believe that the Military Control Commission did not get the secret book!
Is this possible?

Thinking of the opponent who made many predecessors confess their crimes, Ito said:
This possibility is really too great.

……

At Zhang Anping's place.

Wang Tianfeng flipped through the plan in his hand without saying a word - this was the third time he had flipped through it.

Obviously, this plan was beyond his expectations and even impacted his three perspectives.

In this plan, he was going to surrender to the enemy.

However, he had to convince the enemy that he was pretending to surrender.

It's a bit confusing, but Zhang Anping's plan is more complicated - first, he wants to surrender to the enemy, and also to present a letter of surrender so that the other party will recognize that his surrender is real.

Afterwards, another line will be launched, thus making the opponent realize that he is faking his surrender.

This is the foundation. After all this is completed, the real planning will begin.

It was very complicated, so complicated that Wang Tianfeng believed that such a sophisticated operation would inevitably be full of difficulties and flaws when implemented.

But considering Zhang Anping's power within the enemy, he felt it was feasible.

But what made it most difficult for him to make a decision was that this plan was just an "introduction", and "the real plan will only begin" was the most critical point - and in this plan, there was no follow-up.

After a long time, Wang Tianfeng said, "It's very complicated."

"My opponent is an old fox. He is extremely cautious towards me. How can it be successful without making it more complicated?"

Faced with Zhang Anping's question, Wang Tianfeng remained silent.

After a long while, he stared at Zhang Anping and said, "I took it."

Zhang Anping smiled and said, "I knew you would accept it without hesitation."

Wang Tianfeng ignored this "flattery" and asked in a deep voice: "What is this plan called?"

Zhang Anping looked at Wang Tianfeng and said slowly:

"Death chamber."

Wang Tianfeng murmured: "Dead spy?"

Looking at Lao Wang's mumbling, Zhang Anping thought:

My dear, this is my modified plan for the death spy. If it weren't for respecting you, I wouldn't have thought of such an unlucky name. (End of this chapter)
