The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 448 Reason
"Did you really catch him?"

"Caught."

"several?"

"One."

"Acting alone..."

"should be."

Miyamoto's poorly made bait actually allowed him to catch a fish, but he didn't know whether it was a big or small fish.

He failed to notice such an obvious bait, so he guessed that most of them were small fish.

The little fish would not think so much. When it saw the delicious bait, it would try its best to take a bite. Unexpectedly, it not only did not eat the bait, but also broke itself.

In fact, even if Cheng Mo knew that this was a bait, he didn't have time to remind Shanghai District 1. First of all, there was simply no time.

Secondly, "Dark Fire" has cut off its horizontal ties with Shanghai District 1, thus completely guaranteeing its independence.

This has advantages and disadvantages, but overall, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

When even Chen Gongshu might be arrested in the future, how could Cheng Mo dare to entrust the safety of "Dark Fire" to others?

It's not that he didn't trust Chen Gongshu, but he had no confidence in the integrity of the Military Control Commission.

"Oops!"

Cheng Mo suddenly said inwardly, not good, Miyamoto has captured someone, if he wants to take the credit for himself, it's not a problem, but I'm afraid that he will spread the "bait" that he provided, and then the news will reach the ears of people in Shanghai District 1.

He would then become an accomplice of the Japanese and could not escape the reputation of a "traitor".

However, given Miyamoto's selfish character, he would not do this. Could he tolerate giving the credit to himself?
But behind him there is Akagi Shinjiro. This old guy is low-key, but he is a difficult character.

If he gave an order, I'm afraid even Kitaro Miyamoto would have to obey it.

The person has been arrested, and there is no point in saying anything now. Miyamoto Kitaro will definitely give this person strong protection.

……

In the evening, Cheng Mo met Shen Mo at Lao Miao's grocery store.

"The people are detained in the Broadway Building and guarded by Japanese military police. There is no chance at all." Shen Mo brought the news.

"Have you confessed?"

The Broadway Building was a base set up by the Japanese Military Police Special High Section in the concession. The cells and interrogation rooms inside were no worse than those in No. 76.

"I don't know. We don't have the ability to infiltrate that place." Shen Mo shook his head. It was a place full of Japanese. The Chinese had no chance at all, not even possible to bribe them.

"Do your best and leave the rest to fate. If he really confessed, Miyamoto should take action soon." Cheng Momo said silently.

……

Fusheng Pharmacy on Sanmalu Road is the headquarters of the Second Action Brigade of Shanghai District 1. The brigade leader is also called Chen Mo, the same as Cheng Moyin, but their last name and first name are different.

After Qu Xiaonian got into trouble, Chen Mo immediately convened an emergency meeting of the group leaders of the Second Team. Qu Xiaonian was the gun custodian of the Second Brigade.

If anything happens to this guy, the Second Battalion’s weapons for future operations will be in trouble, and Ou Xiaonian knows almost all of them.

Although he was not clear about their cover identities, if they confessed, none of them would be able to escape, and he might even be implicated.

The crisis of the Second Battalion suddenly broke out. A complete action battalion, including intelligence, transportation, operations, and battalion headquarters, has a minimum of 20 to 30 people and a maximum of 60 to 70 people.

The Second Battalion was active in the concessions, and its strength and numbers were among the top eight action battalions in Shanghai. Its combat record was also outstanding.

Captain Chen Mo of the Second Battalion was already a lieutenant colonel at a young age, so even the district chief Chen Gongshu had to be polite to him.

Moreover, Chen Mo has another identity, that is, he has a close relationship with Boss Du and is one of his most valued students.

Chen Mo joined the Military Control Commission and was recommended by Boss Du.

Before Chen Mo entered the Du family, he worked as an apprentice in a pharmacy. Later, through his own hard work and self-study, he was admitted to the China University of Political Science and Law. It can be seen that this person's intelligence and ability are extraordinary.

Apart from the initial retreat to the west, the Second Action Battalion later returned to Shanghai and has been carrying out various anti-espionage and punishment missions.

If it weren't for the need to keep his identity secret, he would have become famous in Shanghai long ago.

"Who among you is closest to Xiaonian?" Chen Mo asked, glancing at the people sitting in front of him.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally the action team leader Xia Jiesheng stood up and said, "Captain, our action team needs weapons, so Xiaonian and I have a good relationship."

"After something like this happened, Xiaonian acted on his own without consulting you?"

"Captain, although we are close, after the stage operation is over, everyone is in a state of silence, especially our action team, and we are not allowed to have any contact with each other. According to the rules of the operation, before the operation, I went to Xiaonian to get weapons and ammunition, and he was not allowed to contact us actively."

"Then how did he get this information?" Chen Mo asked with a frown.

"I don't know. Ou Xiaonian's cover identity is a barber at the Paramount Hair Salon. Maybe he heard it while he was cutting a customer's hair?"

"Who talks about such confidential matters while getting a haircut at a barber shop?"

"That's strange. How does Xiaonian know that this little jerk named Jiang saw the captain who shot Yu Yefeng on the stage at that time?" Intelligence team leader Du Zhenshan asked back.

"Also, Xiaonian did not participate in the operation. He also knew who carried out the assassination mission. Why did he go to find the little scoundrel surnamed Jiang? He wanted to kill him, but the guy surnamed Jiang has been released, so killing him is meaningless..."

This is indeed incredible and puzzling.

"Captain, does the district commander have any instructions?"

"Chief Qu is also trying to understand the situation, but there's no response yet as to what exactly happened." Chen Mo also found it very strange. Why would Qu Xiaonian take the risk to kill Jiang Wenjun? Even if Jiang Wenjun saw him shooting Yu Yefeng at the assassination scene, he was released, which meant he had confessed. If he had confessed, there would be no point in looking for him again, except to kill him to vent your anger.

No matter how you look at it, this looks like a bait deliberately thrown out by the Japanese.

Of course, he could think of this, but Qu Xiaonian might not. Not everyone is so smart. Ordinary people make up the majority.

Therefore, Qu Xiaonian can only be a gun custodian. As long as he does this job well, who allowed him to act on his own?

This was originally fine, but now it has become a crisis.

If Qu Xiaonian can't hold on, everyone in the Second Battalion will have to evacuate Shanghai. What a huge loss that will be. This is something Chen Mo must consider.

"Have the guns in Qu Xiaonian's home been moved?"

"No, we didn't know about Xiaonian's accident until two days later. If he had confessed, we would have been caught in a trap if we had gone there," said Xia Jiesheng.

"After the incident, I arranged for people to check near Qu Xiaonian's home, and indeed saw signs of suspicious activities, so it was right for Team Leader Xia to be cautious." Du Zhenshan echoed.

Chen Mo slammed his fist on the table in anger. Qu Xiaonian was arrested, and a large number of guns and ammunition were lost. The Second Battalion would have a hard time in the future.
