Spy Shadow

Chapter 513 Rose Investigation

After happily signing all the bought books, Chu Lingyun stood up.

"General, let's go back, there are people coming again."

There were almost forty people at the scene. Seeing the author coming, they simply bought all their books.

The money spent on buying books was reimbursed, and a signed book could be exchanged for an extra two yen as a reward. Two copies would be four yen. They calculated this account very clearly.

"Okay, go back."

Matsumoto noticed that someone was indeed coming, and he was a little nervous about signing. He immediately got up and left with Chu Lingyun.

"Go to the bookstores around you and see if there are so many people buying my books."

When returning, Matsumoto suddenly told the secretary next to him, "Matsumoto is not stupid. This is the bookstore closest to the literary club. It cannot be ruled out that the people of the literary club deliberately find people to act in order to make them happy."

His previous books were not as popular.

"Hai."

The secretary left, and Matsumoto followed Chu Lingyun back to the literary club. Today's celebration is not over yet, and the two of them need to speak separately to encourage all members of the literary club.

There are not many members, but starting from scratch is the most difficult thing. With Tomotaka Hosokawa and him here, more people will definitely want to join the literary club and enter this group in the future.

Coupled with the investment of a wealthy man like Ishihara Hiroshi, the literary club will definitely not be short of people in the future.

"General, I've been to several bookstores, even those far away, and people are buying your books. The bookstore owner said that your books are the best sellers today."

As soon as Matsumoto finished his speech, his secretary came back.

Hearing what the secretary said, Matsumoto couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. It seemed that his books were really popular. So many bookstores were like this, so he couldn't fake it.

“Where’s Ji Hyo’s book?”

Matsumoto asked, and the secretary immediately lowered his head: "It's still selling well, but it's not as good as your book."

In fact, the number of books sold by the two of them was about the same, but it was Secretary Matsumoto who went to investigate after all, and most of the questions he asked were information related to Matsumoto, so the results were naturally the best.

"I specifically asked a few people. They know your work very well and can tell the content of the book."

The secretary added, Matsumoto couldn't control it anymore and laughed: "Good, someone finally understands my work."

"Yes, this time I followed the general's lead and sold a lot."

Matsumoto's voice was loud. Chu Lingyun was not far from him and he immediately responded with a smile.

"Speaking of which, I want to thank you, Jihyo. If you hadn't submitted the manuscript, my book would not have been published, and not so many people would have liked it."

Matsumoto smiled, while Chu Lingyun shook his head slightly: "I didn't submit the manuscript, it was Toru Ishihara. He had read our works and said that our two works would be a big hit and insisted on handing them over to the publishing house. I couldn't compete with him. , I can only agree."

"Good promise, but it's a pity that Hiroshi Ishihara is ill today."

Matsumoto said regretfully that Toru Ishihara is a very good businessman. Before, he only listened to what Tomotaka Hosokawa said. Through several recent events, he discovered that Toru Ishihara is indeed a smart businessman.

He asked Takemoto to help him solve his brother's business problems, and he did such a good job on the manuscript.

"Ishihara-kun will be fine."

Shuicheng Jun said hurriedly. Others didn't know what was going on, including Takemoto. They all thought that the two people's books were really so popular.

Only he knows the inside story best. Sure enough, Ishihara Hiroshi understands people's hearts best. This incident made both presidents very happy.

At the end of the celebration, Matsumoto and Chu Lingyun encouraged everyone. Matsumoto left first. He is the honorary president and does not need to be here every day.

“Find a bookstore you haven’t been to and check it out.”

In the car, Matsumoto suddenly said that the secretary understood that he wanted to see the sales of his books with his own eyes, and immediately asked the driver to find a bookstore.

This bookstore is very remote and has few customers, but Matsumoto saw his own works in a conspicuous place.

Moreover, this is a Chinese bookstore. The presence of his books in such a bookstore shows that his books are really popular.

"Let's go back."

Matsumoto nodded with satisfaction. Ishihara Hiroshi, a businessman, has done really well. I can meet him and have a good chat with him another day.

"Team leader, you are back."

Shortly after Matsumoto left, Chu Lingyun also left the literary club. Although Tomotaka Hosokawa was the president, he also did nothing. The person in charge was Ishihara Hiroshi.

"What happened?"

Seeing Ni Loach's expression, Chu Lingyun immediately asked, "Chu Yuan has been back a long time ago. He took off his makeup and returned to his original appearance."

"A stronghold at the Shanghai Station was exposed, and two more people were arrested."

Loach whispered back, while Chu Lingyun frowned.

He knew about the failure of the last operation at Shanghai Station, and Jiang Tengkong and Ishida Xiaoshan reported everything afterwards.

However, they learned the news relatively late. This time, the incident was done by intelligence team leader Hoshino Kozo. Mitsui disliked Hoshino and handed him several traitors from the Party Affairs Investigation Department. Unexpectedly, he used these traitors to catch people.

Wang Jialiang failed to investigate for a while and fell into a trap.

Chu Lingyun had figured out the situation of the three people and told Wang Yuemin that the three people had indeed confessed and brought the Japanese to the stronghold. Wang Yuemin was ready to impose sanctions on them.

Before the Shanghai Station started taking action, these three people found another team's stronghold. Hoshino led an attack. There were three people in the stronghold at the time, two of them were captured, and one escaped.

One of the two people arrested was the captain of the intelligence team and knew where Wang Jialiang was.

Fortunately, one escaped and notified Wang Jialiang, otherwise Wang Jialiang might have been arrested this time.

Once Wang Jialiang is caught, Wang Yuemin will be in great danger, and even threaten their wartime intelligence team.

After receiving the news, Loach waited for Chu Lingyun to report.

"Why is Shanghai Station so careless? How was this stronghold exposed?"

Chu Lingyun frowned. Wang Yuemin had a very cautious temperament. He also knew Yao Jiancai. He used to be a team leader like him. When Chu Lingyun was the deputy team leader in Wuhan, Yao Jiancai worked under him for a while.

Yao Jiancai has average abilities, but he is more obedient and will not do things rashly.

As for Wang Jialiang, because he was Wang Yuemin's cousin, he was arrogant when he was in Wuhan and wanted to steal credit from Chu Lingyun several times.

It's just that his ability is worse, and he doesn't get the credit, but he gets a lot of trouble.

Wang Yuemin is very aware of his cousin's abilities and will not let Wang Jialiang do anything too important.

"It's still unclear. Station Commander Wang is investigating. He has been transferred and sent Wang Jialiang to another safe house to prevent him from participating in the next operation."

The person arrested was the captain of the intelligence team, Wang Jialiang's subordinate when he was in Wuhan.

He knew Wang Jialiang very well. If Wang Jialiang continued to work, the Japanese would probably seize the opportunity.

Wang Yuemin's decision was very correct. At this time, Wang Jialiang should be kept dormant and keep a distance from him.

"Send a message to Rose tonight and let him figure out the situation as soon as possible."

After thinking about it, Chu Lingyun ordered that Catfish was in the intelligence team and it would be more appropriate for Catfish to investigate. However, Catfish's temperament was not as smooth as Rose's. Rose could find out what she wanted without being suspected by anyone.

"yes."

The liaison officer for Jiang Teng's confession was Tian Pei. His radio station was not on at all times and could only be contacted at fixed times.

By the time Jiang Tengkong received the mission, it was already the morning of the next day.

"Two more people were arrested, and there was also a captain?"

Jiang Tengkong frowned. Hoshino was the intelligence team leader and blocked the road of Ishida Xiaoshan. No one was optimistic about Hoshino.

Mitsui left Hoshino without any prestige in the intelligence team, and even sent him away to lead a group of surrendered Chinese agents.

But these Chinese agents unleashed great power and made meritorious deeds one after another.

Last time, two were killed and three were captured. This time, two more were captured alive. In just a few days, five Chinese agents were captured in succession.

And they are all from the Military Intelligence Service.

The biggest opponent of the Special High School is the Military Intelligence Division. Being able to arrest so many people is indeed a big contribution. Even if Mitsui wants to deal with Hoshino, it is difficult to do it now. After all, Hoshino has just made meritorious service and is appointed by the chief section chief.

"Captain Hoshino, this is the place I chose."

At No. 67 Daxi Road, Li Zhiqun said to Hoshino Kozo excitedly that they were not part of the special high school class and were temporarily commanded by Hoshino Kozo.

Staying in the special high school is not an option. After catching these people, Hoshino Kozo asked him to find a suitable place to settle the surrendered Chinese agents.

Including several people from the Military Intelligence Department, there are now more than a dozen of them. Li Zhiqun commands them as the captain and is directly responsible to Hoshino Kozo.

"Yes, the place is very good."

Hoshino visited this place. Although the sparrow was small, it had all the internal organs. It was originally a police station, with ready-made cells and torture chambers.

After tidying it up again, it can be used here.

"We can move other things, but there is no radio station. You need to apply for this."

Li Zhiqun said respectfully, and Hoshino nodded slightly: "No problem, I will find a way at the radio station."

It's just a radio station, but it's not a problem for Hoshino.

In any case, he is the lieutenant colonel, the intelligence team leader of the Shanghai Special High School, and he went to apply for a ministry radio station to be used by these surrendered Chinese agents. Mitsui would not refuse.

After choosing a new place, these Chinese people can work more carefully and help him make more achievements.

With these achievements in hand, he can advance and attack, and retreat and defend. Mitsui does not dare to deal with him casually, and he has more reasons to want to leave Shanghai Special High School.

"Section Chief, I heard that Hoshino took those Chinese people out?"

Jiang Tengkong received the news and immediately came to Mitsui's office. Mitsui's face was not good.

"That's right, Hoshino just came to apply for the radio station."

Hoshino Kozo took away the Chinese, it was more like setting up a new branch. How could Mitsui tolerate it?

"Chief, please say something you shouldn't say. You have to be careful about Hoshino."

Jiang Tengkong said quietly. Mitsui raised his head and looked at him. Jiang Tengkong didn't care at all and continued: "Hoshino was promoted to lieutenant colonel four years ago. Now he has made great achievements and caught so many Chinese agents. He is the commander-in-chief. If the chief section chief is happy with the person who is the section chief, he will probably be promoted to colonel."

Jiang Tengkou stopped here. He didn't say it clearly, but the meaning was obvious.

If Hoshino is promoted to colonel, Mitsui will be the biggest threat.

Colonel is qualified to take over as the section chief. Mitsui has not done well before and has no outstanding results. Once Hoshino's military rank is promoted, it will definitely fuel his ambitions.

And Hoshino is the chief section chief. If the chief section chief wants to replace Mitsui, it can only be done with one sentence.

Mitsui's face darkened again.

"Do you have any good way to tell Hoshino to get out?"

Facing Jiang Tengkong, Mitsui did not hide his true thoughts. Jiang Tengkong was his now, and Jiang Tengkong was very smart.

"Section Chief, the root of his meritorious deeds lies with those Chinese people."

Jiang Tengkong said softly, while Mitsui shook his head: "I know, but there is no way to get these Chinese people back from him now. He will definitely not agree. If I sue the chief section chief, I can't explain it."

Even picking peaches requires strategy.

If someone is doing well and has just achieved results, what does it mean to ask him to leave?

Hoshino took people out of the extra-high-level class, probably to guard against his actions. If he asked for people, he would definitely not give them to him. It would not be good for Mitsui if he broke his face.

"Section Chief, there is no need to ask for help. We can send people inside. Their every move will be under our surveillance. Even if there is a situation, we can respond in advance."

Jiang Tengkong shook his head slightly, while Mitsui's eyes lit up.

What he wanted was to hire people, and he really didn't think that he could insert some of his own people among these people.

He is the section chief, and it is completely normal to make such personnel arrangements. Hoshino cannot object, let alone file a complaint.

"Jiang Tengjun, are you smarter? Who do you think is appropriate to send there?"

The idea came from Jiang Tengkong, so Mitsui simply asked him.

"Don't go with people who are too high-level. People from the intelligence team are not suitable. I will just pick two people from the action team."

Jiang Tengkong's purpose is this, his mission is to find out the situation.

But now Hoshino is very strict with these Chinese people. He can't even see them, so how can he investigate them.

With Mitsui's support, he could send people over and find out the situation blatantly.

"Okay, it's up to you to arrange this."

After thinking for a moment, Mitsui nodded. Hoshino was the leader of the intelligence team after all. If someone from the intelligence team was sent there, it would be easy for them to be bribed by Hoshino and fail to achieve their goals.

The people who sent the action team were different. Now Jiang Tengkong also had his own confidants in the action team.

"Yes, my subordinates will ensure that it will be done well."

Jiang Tengkong lowered his head, and Mitsui looked at him, feeling very satisfied.

Why didn't I realize that Jiang Tengkong had these advantages before? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have had to force him, but that bastard Tengzhong took advantage of him.

Fortunately, it's not too late. After Jiang Tengkong did this, he would be completely tied to his chariot.

It is impossible for Jiang Tengkong to seek refuge in Xingye in the future, and Xingye will not accept him.

Back in his office, Jiang Tengkong immediately called two of his confidants.

"You go to the Chinese agents who surrendered in the intelligence team. On the surface, the action team is cooperating with them. They are secretly keeping an eye on them for me, find out their situation, and report back to me."

Jiang Tengkong ordered, and his two confidants immediately understood what he meant and took the order together.

Mitsui's order came down immediately. In order to facilitate the surrender of the Chinese agents, two people from the action team were specially transferred to support. The action team could be used to provide support at any time if there were future operations.

Hoshino couldn't object, and it was useless to object. After all, these people were still nominally in the super-high class.

The monthly ticket will add an update to Chapter 9.
