Genius Agent

Chapter 100 Obtaining leverage

"Yes, teacher."

Chen Yansheng nodded, while Shen Mozhou looked tired; they had been running around a lot these past few days.

"Teacher, you should go and rest first."

Chen Yansheng said softly, and Shen Mozhou nodded slightly: "Okay, you should get some rest too."

The next morning, Su Yuncheng received their signal and quickly arrived at their residence.

"Mr. Pu, the one doing business with Horiuchi Sousuke is Xu Laogui's brother-in-law..."

Shen Mozhou reported directly that they had indeed investigated very thoroughly these past few days.

Although it was said to be a business of the Party Affairs Investigation Department, it actually belonged to Xu Laogui personally. The money earned had nothing to do with the Party Affairs Investigation Department. In addition to Horiuchi Sōsuke, Xu Laogui had two other business partners, both of whom were people from the concession area.

Old Xu has a huge appetite and wants a lot of goods. He will buy anything from anyone who can provide it.

He sold these goods privately to various places, earning Xu Laogui a considerable profit.

"Mr. Pu, we can only find out where his goods were delivered by ship, but we need headquarters' assistance to find out who received them and who they were sold to."

Shen Mozhou quickly finished his report. Although the intelligence was limited, it was not easy to investigate it so thoroughly.

"I understand, thank you for your hard work."

Su Yuncheng said softly that he was a professional agent and understood the value of this intelligence; Shen Mozhou and Chen Yansheng had indeed put their hearts into it.

"It's not hard work. What should we do next?"

Shen Mozhou hurriedly replied, while Su Yuncheng shook his head: "There's nothing to do right now. Apart from the three people Hu Bang'an has recruited, you don't need to do anything."

Lu Mingxuan and his group are now in the Special Operations Section, and if they have any intelligence, they will report it to Shen Mozhou immediately.

Shen Mozhou would report this intelligence to Su Yuncheng, while important intelligence would be reported to headquarters.

Now their radio station isn't turned on every day; they collect non-essential intelligence and report it all at once when they contact headquarters.

"Yes, Mr. Pu, the director wants the results of this investigation. Can we report it to headquarters today?"

Shen Mozhou took the initiative to ask, which was actually a gesture of goodwill towards Su Yuncheng. The underlying meaning was obvious: we are very obedient and will follow your orders.

If they don't allow our radio stations to be turned on at will, we'll ask for permission before we do it.

"Can."

Su Yuncheng nodded. He knew best the conflict between the Special Service Department and the Party Affairs Investigation Department. Not only now, but for a long time to come, their conflict would continue.

After receiving the investigation results, Su Yuncheng left quickly.

Back at the newspaper office, Su Yuncheng closed his eyes and pondered.

Xu Laogui's primary motivation for seeking out Horiuchi Sousuke was indeed business, but Su Yuncheng believed that Xu Laogui must know about Horiuchi Sousuke's situation and wanted to obtain information from him.

Although the Party Affairs Investigation Department is not responsible for external affairs, it can obtain important intelligence from the Japanese, which gives it an edge over the Special Service Department.

Old Ghost Xu will definitely do that.

Su Yuncheng was considering what the Special Service would do after learning about these circumstances.

The Secret Service and the Party Affairs Investigation Department had deep conflicts, but the Secret Service did not always try to trip up the Party Affairs Investigation Department.

For example, Xu Laogui's smuggling.

Is that boss, Mr. Dai, clean?

Su Yuncheng knew better than anyone that Boss Dai was even more greedy than Old Ghost Xu. If it were anything else, Boss Dai would definitely sabotage Old Ghost Xu, but this was not necessarily the case.

Xu Laogui's business network includes other people besides himself.

Although Shen Mozhou couldn't find out the buyer's identity, he did find out where those ships went. It's hard to say that no one else was involved in the fact that Xu Laogui's business was able to operate smoothly in the area.

Moreover, Boss Dai himself is greedy; if he can do the first day of the month, Old Ghost Xu can do the fifteenth.

Unless this incident brings down Xu Laogui, Boss Dai will not take direct action.

After a while, Su Yuncheng sighed softly.

Horiuchi Sousuke's business will likely continue.

……

"Chief, a call from the Special Operations Section."

Secretary Qi brought over a telegram, and the section chief immediately held out his hand: "Let me take a look first."

Secretary Qi said it was sent by the Special Operations Section. The Director knows what's going on; the Special Operations Department currently has two departments in Shanghai.

Shanghai Station and Special Operations Section.

Although the Special Operations Section is small, it has Su Yuncheng behind it. Secretary Qi is well aware that the Director now greatly appreciates and values ​​Su Yuncheng.

The Special Operations Section is no less important than the Shanghai Station.

"Morts and scoundrels."

After reading the telegram, the section chief snorted coldly, while Secretary Qi remained silent.

With rampant corruption within the KMT, how few people are involved in smuggling?

Look at the customs, how much tariff do they get every year?

Let's take a look at how much tax these big shots paid.

They lived a life of luxury, yet did nothing to benefit the country.

"What is Qu Ning doing?"

The director looked at Secretary Qi. Su Yuncheng guessed correctly. In other matters, Boss Dai would definitely make things difficult for Old Ghost Xu, but he wouldn't easily take action on this matter.

Not moving doesn't mean doing nothing; after all, it's a handle that Boss Dai will hold onto first.

They can be used as leverage or play a crucial role at critical moments.

Secretary Qi lowered his head: "They're still keeping an eye on them."

Su Yuncheng had been away from Nanjing for some time. He had previously helped them arrest two people at a restaurant. Qu Ning acted quickly and began investigating the area around the Special Service Department the next day, especially another intersection.

In just one day, Qu Ning identified two suspected Japanese spies.

The restaurant owner is dead, and the waiters they captured are of little use, but these two are different; they are very valuable.

Keep an eye on them; it's very likely we'll catch Mizuno.

Qu Ning was very ambitious. Knowing that the Japanese might discover the restaurant was in trouble at any time, he still did not close the net and sent people to keep an eye on them secretly.

Sure enough, two days later, the two of them acted strangely, as if someone had given them a signal to evacuate.

It's a pity that no one stepped forward directly, otherwise Qu Ning could have caught the person who notified them and further investigated Mizuno.

Wei Changfeng suggested that they should arrest the two first, so that they wouldn't get away, otherwise they would get nothing.

But Qu Ning rejected it.

They are evacuating, not fleeing. They will likely remain in Nanjing. If we keep an eye on them, we might be able to find Mizuno.

It's okay if they're lost for now; we can just find them again.

They had taken photos of the two people and obtained their detailed information. Qu Ning was confident that even if she had lost face for the time being, she would be able to find them in the future.

Qu Ning did this because Dandelion put a lot of pressure on him.

Dandelion helped them achieve such great things, the intelligence department can't have no achievements at all.

Capturing Mizuno is his best chance to prove himself.

Qu Ning's gamble paid off; the two did indeed evacuate. He sent people to search for them secretly, and they were back in the game in just two days.

The two are currently living in Xicheng District and have not gone out from their house every day, clearly indicating that they are in hiding.

Qu Ning wasn't in a hurry. Now was the time to test patience. Mizuno was cunning; even the infiltrator team communicated through a dead mail system and never met in person.

To capture Mizuno, we must find their dead mailbox.

The two Japanese spies are currently in a dormant state, not gathering intelligence, and naturally will not have any contact with Mizuno. Qu Ning is waiting for them to be reactivated.

"Have Qu Ning send some people to investigate where Xu Laogui's goods are being sold."

The director gave the order; Qu Ning had already reported the operation to him, and he was aware of the case's progress.
