Spy Shadow

Chapter 284 Crazy looking for someone

Try to avoid these people and find ways to find out where Deputy Chief Tang lives and is.

After Chu Lingyun made a decision in her heart, she immediately opened the tool box and put on makeup for herself.

This time he put on makeup very seriously. More than an hour later, a young and handsome man appeared in the mirror. I have to say that Hosokawa Tomotaka looked better than Chu Lingyun.

Young, handsome guy.

Tomotaka Hosokawa likes to wear suits, especially white suits. Chu Lingyun does not have such clothes. After putting on makeup, he did not rush to the Japanese Concession, but went to a ready-made clothing store.

White suits are not difficult to buy, and he bought the clothes he wanted in the public concession.

"Go to the Japanese Concession."

After calling a rickshaw, Chu Lingyun went directly there. Proof of identity was required to enter the Japanese Concession. These things had long been sunk to the bottom of the river together with Hosokawa Tomotaka himself.

At this time, the person Chu Lingyun was pretending to be, Hosokawa Tomotaka, was actually a gangster.

Kuroto is not afraid, he has a complete memory and can issue a replacement identity certificate at any time.

"The boss is here, forty cents." The rickshaw arrived, a little far away from the stuck point.

The driver looked at Chu Lingyun carefully. The journey was not short and the price was not low.

Many Japanese people like to bully others, which is not as good as the Western devils. Although the Western devils are also stingy, they at least give money to ride in the car. The Japanese often ride in the car for free.

You can't chase him for it. After they enter the Japanese concession, if you dare to break in, the people over there will dare to beat you to death.

Therefore, once the coachman receives a job in the Japanese concession, he will usually stop farther away, but even so, there are still Japanese who will not pay. If they chase after them, they may be beaten by the other party.

In the eyes of the coachman, these Japanese devils are the most hateful.

Keep the change, please.

Chu Lingyun gave him fifty cents without asking for change. The driver thanked him and pulled the car away quickly.

Chu Lingyun looked forward. The stuck point not far away was both familiar and unfamiliar.

It was unfamiliar because it was his first time in Shanghai and the Japanese Concession. It was familiar because there was such a place in his memory.

Reading memories is like watching a movie, without actually experiencing reality yourself.

Chu Lingyun strode over. His white suit was particularly conspicuous, and the stuck sentry couldn't help but look at him.

"Master Hosokawa." A sentry rubbed his eyes and hurriedly greeted Kamisato.

"You are Sato?" Chu Lingyun looked at him, and a person in his memory appeared.

Second Lieutenant Sato Nasuke of the Japanese Concession Patrol. When Hosokawa Tomotaka first came to the Japanese Concession, Sato Nasuke was assigned to be his guide.

"I didn't expect you to still remember me." Sato Nasuke was very excited.

He was a commoner, and the Japanese hierarchy still existed at this time. He felt very honored that a nobleman could remember his name.

Chu Lingyun nodded, ignored him, and strode into the Japanese Concession.

Before, he had thought about explaining the situation at the check-in point and then going to apply for a new identity certificate. Unexpectedly, there was someone on duty here who knew Tomotaka Hosokawa, so this step was saved.

Despite Hosokawa Tomotaka's appearance, Chu Lingyun successfully entered the Japanese concession. Watching Chu Lingyun go away, Naosuke Sato was still smiling stupidly.

"Second Lieutenant Sato, who is he?"

A soldier asked in a low voice, and Naosuke Sato proudly said: "Do you know Lord Hosokawa of the House of Nobles, he is Lord Hosokawa's son."

Speaking of this, Nasuke Sato's eyes suddenly froze.

Some time ago, his boss's boss, Captain Oishi of the patrol team, had ordered that anyone who saw Master Hosokawa should report it immediately and be rewarded.

I was just talking to Master Hosokawa and forgot about this.

He immediately ran out and reported to his Majesty the Major that Master Hosokawa was back.

"Are you telling the truth?"

In the patrol team captain's office, Oishi Uemura stood up suddenly, and Naosuke Sato immediately replied: "Major, sir, it's true. I just saw Master Hosokawa return with my own eyes."

"Didn't anyone else see him?"

Oishi Uemura asked again. Naosuke Sato was just a junior officer and was currently in charge of the card points outside. He didn't know much.

As a major and the captain of the patrol, Oishi Uemura knew much more than Sato Meisuke.

The Hosokawa family went crazy looking for this young master.

Almost all Japanese in China have received their request for assistance. From Manchuria in the north to Guangzhou in the south, people everywhere are looking for the whereabouts of Hosokawa Tomotaka.

Mizuo Nakano, the steward of the Hosokawa family, once said that no matter who can help find the young master, the Hosokawa family will be grateful and will do their best to help.

If those in the political circles want to be promoted, Lord Hosokawa will personally support them; if those in the military want to be promoted, Lord Hosokawa will help recommend them.

Marquis Hosokawa is a member of the House of Nobles and holds a high position of authority. It would be a matter of just one sentence to help a major like him get promoted.

No matter who you are, you will sell this face.

"I don't know about other places, but I was the first person to see Master Hosokawa after he returned to the Japanese Concession."

Sato Nasuke quickly replied, and Oishi Uemura immediately walked out.

"Come with me, let's go see Mr. Nakano."

This news must be reported as soon as possible, otherwise the Hosokawa family will soon know that their young master is back. If someone else takes the lead, he will not receive the thanks of the Hosokawa family.

This is almost a free bargain and must not be wasted.

While Nasuke Sato was reporting, Chu Lingyun came to the villa area in the Japanese Concession.

When entering this place, he encountered another stuck point.

Hosokawa Tomotaka has been here before, and the person stuck has not changed. Several people know him. With this identity, he easily entered this tightly managed area.

According to his understanding of the Japanese Concession, if Deputy Chief Tang lives in the Japanese Concession, he is most likely to live here.

Many important figures in Japan live here, and the defense is the tightest.

At this time, he came to investigate under the guise of Hosokawa Tomotaka. He couldn't stay here for a long time, otherwise he would be bumped into by someone he knew well, and there would be the danger of being ganged up on at any time.

Rows of Japanese-style villas all look similar.

Soon, Chu Lingyun noticed that there were two cars parked at the door of a house on the corner of the street, and there were soldiers guarding it.

Chu Lingyun was observing from a distance when the door of the villa suddenly opened and a man wearing a Japanese military uniform walked out, followed by a man in a suit.

Seeing the person coming out from behind, Chu Lingyun's eyes tightened slightly.

As expected, Deputy Chief Tang was here. I was lucky this time. I found his residence as soon as he came in. Unfortunately, he didn't bring a gun, but even if he did, he couldn't move alone.

If a person takes the risk of assassination, that is not bravery, but stupidity seeking death.

After achieving his goal, Chu Lingyun turned around and walked out.

The Japanese Concession was not too big, so he walked out not long after. The Japanese Concession was strictly managed when entering, but no one asked when he went out. He flagged down a rickshaw outside and quickly disappeared into the public concession.

Nakano Mizuo was in the luxurious suite of the hotel. Oishi Uemura didn't know that when he drove over just now, a white figure on the roadside was the person he wanted to report to.

"Mr. Nakano."

Oishi Uemura and Sato Nasuke were led into the room by their servants. Nakano Mizuo was making tea. After the two came in, Oishi Uemura bowed respectfully and then knelt down opposite Nakano Mizuo.

Nakano Shixiong took a sip of tea, raised his head and asked, "Did you say you saw the young master?"

It's not that Nakano Mizuo wasn't anxious to find someone, he was more anxious than anyone else. However, during this period, various news about meeting the young master were flying all over the sky, and all of them were finally proven to be false.

It had been faked too many times, and when Mizuo Nakano heard such a report again, he should have seen it, but he didn't look excited at all.

"Yes."

Uemura did not dare to show any disrespect to Nakano Mizuo, and bowed his head in a hurry: "He is one of my subordinates. I saw Master Tomotaka Hosokawa back in the concession today, not long ago."

"Master is back?"

Nakano Shixiong's hand holding the tea cup stiffened for a moment. Those who had seen the young master before were either in a far away place, or they had only seen people and didn't know where they went.

He sent people to search, but there were no clues at all.

Many people wanted to defraud the bounty. Is it so easy to defraud the Hosokawa family? After confirming that the news was false, Nakano Mizuo punished many people.

But this time it was different. This time I actually saw someone in the concession?

With so many people in the concession, such lies are extremely easy to expose.

"Where did you see him?"

Nakano Mizuo lost his previous calmness and asked immediately. Uemura looked at Nasuke Sato next to him.

"Mr. Nakano, I am the guard at the checkpoint in the concession. Young Master Hosokawa just passed by our checkpoint and returned to the concession."

"Tell me what happened just now."

Nakano Mixiong asked quickly. The clues he reported before were almost all information from a long time ago, but this time it was just now and it was extremely certain.

"Hai."

Nasuke Sato told him about meeting Chu Lingyun and that Chu Lingyun still remembered his name. Nakano Mizuo's heart beat faster and his face turned slightly red.

The story this time was extremely detailed. More than one person saw the young master. Everyone at the checkpoint saw the young master. The young master returned to the concession on his own, so there must be other people in the concession who saw him.

Unless he is a fool, no one would dare to make up such a lie.

The ones who came were Majors and Second Lieutenants. If they were fools, the Empire of Japan would be over. Even fools could become Majors, so what fighting power would they have?

"Quick, take me there."

Nakano Mizuo stood up and kicked off the clogs on his feet quickly, changed his shoes and went out with them.

Returning to the stuck point, Nakano Shixiong immediately asked other people at the stuck point.

"gone?"

Nakano Shixiong was in a daze. According to what they said, the young master did come back, but he left again not long after, and no one knew where he went.

They were just sentinels and didn't dare to ask.

Oishi Uemura was also stunned. He didn't expect that this young master Hosokawa, who had never seen the dragon, would leave just after he came back?

So what does this mean? Did he have merit or fault?

At this time, he felt a little regretful. He would have known to go to Master Hosokawa first, or at least send someone to follow him, so that he would not be unable to find anyone now.

"Besides you, who else has seen the young master?"

Nakano Shixiong's face was gloomy, and the servants around him had unkind expressions. They came and left shortly after they arrived, sounding like they were playing tricks.

"Tell me, who else has seen Master Hosokawa?"

Oishi Uemura asked hurriedly. He knew very well that Nakano Mizuo suspected them of lying. If the Hosokawa family misunderstood him and deceived him, he, a young lieutenant, could not afford it.

"Many people in the concession should have seen it."

The team member replied carefully. Nakano Shixiong did not continue to ask, and immediately entered the concession and asked everyone one by one.

It didn't take long for him to find out the truth.

The young master really came back. More than one group of people saw the young master. Some people saw the young master and went to report to him, but he had already ran out.

Another person who was stuck also saw the young master. According to what they said, Nakano Shixiong could confirm that the young master had indeed come back and they were not lying.

"Major Oishi, thank you for your hard work this time."

Since the other party did not lie and reported the young master's whereabouts immediately, he had helped the Hosokawa family, and Nakano Mizuo expressed his gratitude to him.

"It has been an honor to serve the Hosokawa family."

Oishi Uemura politely replied that Nakano Mizuo was not in the mood to say anything to him. Since the young master is back, he must still be in Shanghai. Next, he must find the young master as soon as possible.

God Amaterasu bless you, I hope everything is fine for you.

His biggest worry during this period was that something happened to the young master. After all, China was in chaos. If something happened to the young master, he didn't know how to explain it to the Marquis.

Chu Lingyun changed her clothes, wiped off her makeup, and returned to the hotel.

He didn't know that many Japanese people outside were frantically looking for him at this moment, and he didn't even know how much impact his appearance as Hosokawa Tomotaka would have.

I was lucky today and found out where Deputy Chief Tang lived in the Japanese Concession.

Chu Lingyun took out the map of the Japanese Concession, manually improved the map, and marked the residence of Deputy Chief Tang.

The Japanese Concession was heavily defended, and it was difficult to sneak in and assassinate, especially where Deputy Chief Tang lived, surrounded by many light and dark sentries.

Deputy Chief Tang was assassinated before, and his family's security force was definitely not weak. It would be difficult to punish him in the Japanese Concession.

At noon, He Nian returned to the hotel first. Today he visited a Youth Gang boss and a patriotic wealthy businessman.

Both of these two people have considerable prestige in Shanghai. They agreed to help arrange an appointment with Deputy Chief Tang, which was a satisfactory result for He Nian.

Whether the wish can be fulfilled depends on whether Vice-President Tang will accept the appointment.

Zhu Qing didn't come back until evening, with a look of exhaustion on his face.

"how's it going?"

He Nian called Zhu Qing and Chu Lingyun to his room and asked immediately.

"Section Chief, I found three Japanese people, and one of them is willing to cooperate with us, but he said that not every place in the Japanese Concession can go to him, and he can't go to some places."

After Zhu Qing finished speaking, he took a sip of water and continued: "But today I discovered a situation. Many people in the Japanese Concession are looking for a person named Hosokawa Tomotaka. Whoever can find the person will be rewarded with 5,000 yen. No. A few Japanese people ran out of the concession and are looking for someone on the street."

Zhu Qing's words made Chu Lingyun's heart skip a beat. He had just entered the Japanese Concession today as Hosokawa Tomotaka. Could it be that it was discovered so quickly that he was a fake?

Chu Lingyun carefully recalled the actions in the concession for a few days. In order to conceal his identity, he did not speak to a few people, and every time he spoke, he kept his voice low and did not reveal any flaws.

People who had spoken to him didn't know much about Hosokawa Tomotaka, and it was impossible to tell that he was not the person he was.

Apart from his voice, Chu Lingyun is very confident in appearance, and his disguise is absolutely invisible to others.

"Who is Tomotaka Hosokawa?" He Nian asked immediately.

"It is said that he is a Japanese aristocratic young master. His family members are eager to find him and have offered a high reward. Let me see that he is a disobedient young master."

Zhu Qing shook his head and said, while Chu Lingyun suddenly realized that it was not that he had exposed a flaw, but that Hosokawa Tomotaka had been missing for too long and his family was looking for him.

Look for it, the person has long been turned into bones in the river in Wuhan, and they can't find it even if they are exhausted in Shanghai.

"noble?"

He Nian touched his chin. Japan was a monarchy and the nobles had great power. They offered rewards to find someone who could understand.

"Yes, section chief. It is said that they also asked the Qinggang to help them find someone. Anyone who finds him will be thanked by the Hosokawa family."

Zhu Qing's words moved He Nian's heart, and he immediately said: "Do you have any detailed information about this noble son?"

"No, section chief, you don't want to find him too, do you?" Zhu Qing was startled.

"Why not?"

He Nian glared at him: "As long as we don't reveal our identity, after we find the person, invite people from the Hosokawa family to come forward and hold a cocktail party or something like that, it's very likely that Deputy Chief Tang will be lured out."

He Nian is now in a hurry to complete the task. He will first think of the task for anything. Since the Hosokawa family is a Japanese noble, if a cocktail party is held in a public concession or a hotel in the French Concession, Deputy Director Tang will most likely attend.

In this way, they can obtain Deputy Commander Tang's whereabouts in advance and make corresponding arrangements, greatly increasing the possibility of a successful operation.

As for them, they can temporarily disguise themselves as wealthy businessmen so that no one knows their true identities.

If the people in the Military Intelligence Service couldn't even do this, they might as well wipe their necks.

"Section Chief, you are still awesome. I didn't expect this."

Zhu Qing said excitedly that the section chief was right. If they helped find the person, wouldn't the Hosokawa family want to express their gratitude?

It's a great idea to use the Hosokawa family to lure out Deputy Chief Tang.

"Section Chief, there are so many people looking for us, can we find him?" Zhu Qing was happy for a while, then said worriedly.

They didn't know that the person they were looking for was far away and right in front of them.

Chu Lingyun had no intention of telling them the truth. He couldn't explain it. He could understand it with makeup, but how did he know what Hosokawa Tomotaka looked like?

If he was asked to continue pretending to be Hosokawa Tomotaka during the New Year, how could he explain that the Hosokawa family members would not be suspicious?

There is also Mizuo Nakano, who visits Hosokawa Tomotaka every month and is very familiar with him. Chu Lingyun is in danger of being exposed at any time in front of him.

"How will you know if you don't try? We are no worse than others when it comes to finding people. Let's mobilize the Shanghai Station to find people together."

He Nian said confidently, until there is no other good way, this is always a way.

Chu Lingyun did not try to persuade him. He knew that the New Year's greetings would not be successful, or that no one in Shanghai could find Hosokawa Tomotaka.

Early the next morning, He Nian mobilized everyone to go find Hosokawa Tomotaka. Zhu Qing was sent out by him last night to inquire about the details of Hosokawa Tomotaka.

Nakano Mizuo mobilized so many people, and Hosokawa Tomotaka's appearance and clothing were no longer secrets, and it was easy to find out.

He Nian obtained a photo of Hosokawa Tomotaka through his connections with the Youth Gang.

What left Chu Lingyun speechless was that the task of finding someone fell on him.

In order to celebrate the New Year, they still need to find a way to lure out Deputy Chief Tang, while Zhu Qing wants to use the Japanese to investigate the situation of Vice Chief Tang in the Japanese Concession. The two of them are currently busy, and only Chu Lingyun is idle, so this task will naturally be given to him.

Although He Nian really wanted to find someone and use the Hosokawa family to complete the task, he would not put all his hope in this matter. He still had to do other things that should be done.

Chu Lingyun was sitting in the hotel taking command, and most of the people were sent out. He was the team leader, so he didn't need to run around the streets looking for people.

But looking for yourself, this kind of thing is really new.

Chu Lingyun knew that this was an impossible task, but the team members and the people at the Shanghai station didn't know, and they were asking around enthusiastically.

He Nian said that after finding the person, not only will there be a reward from the Japanese, but there will also be an additional reward of two thousand French currency.

The value of Japanese yen is about the same as legal currency, slightly lower than legal currency. Five thousand yen can basically be exchanged for 4,890 legal currency. With additional rewards, this is a considerable fortune for many team members.

They are highly motivated to find people whose jobs are not dangerous and have so much money to earn.

Especially the people at Shanghai Station, they are local snakes, they are more familiar with Shanghai, know a lot of people, and mobilize everyone to search together.

Chu Lingyun sat on a chair, sipping tea.

He uncovered Hosokawa Tomotaka's memories piece by piece. He had grown up with his mother since he was a child. His father couldn't see them several times a year, and he would leave in a hurry after not staying for long.

When he was young, what he feared most was seeing his mother's face full of disappointment.

Every time my father left, my mother would lie in front of the door, unwilling to return to the room until her father completely disappeared.

His mother's life was not a good one, and it had a great influence on Tomotaka Hosokawa when he was a child.

In his mind, he believed that his father had killed his mother. His mother had been a widow for many years and missed his father. She was in poor health due to depression, and finally passed away at the age of forty.

He didn't like his father, so he left Japan immediately after his mother died and traveled to China.

When he was young, Tomotaka Hosokawa was particularly envious of children with fathers. If he could be as good as those children, at least his mother would be happy and would never die so early.

Although under the care of Marquis Hosokawa, no one dared to bully him, and no one dared to call him an illegitimate child to his face, the inferiority complex of an illegitimate child had long been deeply buried in Hosokawa Tomotaka's heart.

In the entire Hosokawa family, the only person whom Tomotaka Hosokawa does not dislike is Mizuo Nakano.

If anything happened to their orphans and widowed parents, it was always Nakano Mitsuo who would come forward to show up. Nakano Mitsuo would also personally send them monthly living expenses and greet them. Almost all the toys he had when he was a child were sent by Nakano Mitsuo.

After coming to China, Tomotaka Hosokawa only wrote letters to Mizuo Nakano and never asked about his father.

This also made Chu Lingyun most afraid of Nakano Mizuo. He had never thought of using Hosokawa Tomotaka's identity to lure out Deputy Chief Tang.

If he appeared as Hosokawa Tomotaka, it would be very easy to do this, but if he did so, he would definitely have to face Nakano Mizuo. Thinking of this, he gave up the idea.

Thank you for the reward of 1,500 starting coins from friend 1234. The second update includes the monthly ticket plus chapter 17. The update is completed today.
