Genius Agent

Chapter 61 Solve the Case Within a Time Limit

Su Yuncheng couldn't sense his thoughts, but he could perceive his emotions.

Noodles clearly wants to learn to read, but he doesn't want to waste his time. He's a good young man and worth nurturing.

"It's okay, take your time, learn as much as you can first."

Su Yuncheng smiled, and as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly lowered his head.

Huang Chuanming arrived, looked around at the entrance of the alley, and then went inside.

It seems that Huang Chuanming came to see Mr. Meng before. Mr. Meng is a member of the Communist Party and should be Huang Chuanming's mentor.

With the noodles there, Su Yuncheng no longer needed to go inside to personally investigate Mr. Meng's situation.

After a hearty meal, not a single dish was left uneaten. He not only finished his own large bowl of noodles, but also ate two-thirds of the food on the table.

Clearly, a large bowl of noodles is not enough to fill him up.

"Do you have time tomorrow night?" After paying the bill, Su Yuncheng asked about the noodles.

"have."

When he answered, Noodles' heartbeat clearly accelerated, and Su Yuncheng could feel the longing in his heart.

"...Come find me here."

Su Yuncheng gave him an address; it was a safe house that Su Yuncheng had rented himself, and no one knew about the place.

The house was a bit simple, but it was enough for teaching noodle making and suited his current attire.

However, after using this safe house, Su Yuncheng will need to prepare a new one. This time he plans to prepare two. He is not short of money now, so renting a few safe houses is no problem at all.

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Su."

Noodles nodded hurriedly, realizing he had met a good person; it was his good fortune.

Su Yuncheng didn't think much of it and went straight home.

Nothing happened that night, and Su Yuncheng didn't dream. He got up early the next morning and went to the newspaper office.

He longed to dream of Mr. Meng again, but unfortunately, he couldn't.

Huang Chuanming arrived even earlier; when Su Yuncheng arrived, he was cleaning.

"Editor-in-chief, you've arrived."

Upon seeing Su Yuncheng, Huang Chuanming immediately greeted him, and Su Yuncheng sensed a surge of joy and excitement in his heart.

However, Huang Chuanming appeared calm on the surface.

"You're here so early today?"

"I woke up early and came ahead of time. I'll clean your office right away."

Huang Chuanming honestly replied that he was telling the truth, but he had woken up because of excitement.

Yesterday was his usual day to see Lao Meng, and Lao Meng told him some fantastic news: the organization had approved his membership.

Because he was an undercover agent, his Party membership application was processed simply.

Old Meng and Secretary Xiao are his introducers. After his application to join the Party is approved, Old Meng will personally preside over his admission ceremony.

Huang Chuanming had long wanted to join the organization. He would die without regret if he could become a member and fight for a common ideal.

From now on, he will be a person of faith.

Huang Chuanming was so excited last night that he stayed up late, but he got up early this morning and is still full of energy.

Su Yuncheng looked at him, smiled gently, and didn't ask any further questions.

Nanjing, headquarters of the Special Service.

The Director has returned, and Morita was safely brought to headquarters this morning.

"This is Morita's confession. You have three days to find the Japanese spy who is hiding in Nanjing."

In the director's office, Qu Ning, the head of the intelligence section, looked utterly astonished.

He had no idea what was going on, yet he was told to go find the Japanese spies?

Are Japanese spies really that easy to find?

And who is Morita, and what is his testimony?

The director returned late yesterday and didn't call him. He only called him today after confirming that Morita had been escorted back.

"Chief, may I see the statement you provided first?"

Qu Ning asked cautiously, knowing he had no right to refuse the task given by the section chief.

"Okay, I'll have Shen Mozhou cooperate with you; he understands the situation."

The magistrate nodded. This was a case he was personally in charge of, and he was the one who first arrested the people in Shanghai.

The suspects have all been caught. There's one Japanese spy left who was undercover. The captured spy had even seen him before. If Qu Ning can't find him, it's because he, the head of the intelligence department, is incompetent.

"Yes, Chief."

How did Shen Mozhou get involved? Qu Ning left the office with his statement and immediately saw Shen Mozhou waiting for him with Chen Yansheng.

"Section Chief Qu, please take good care of me this time."

Shen Mozhou greeted him with a smile. He was also a section chief, but only a deputy one, not as powerful as Qu Ning.

Moreover, the intelligence section is the most important department in the bureau, and he is much lower than Qu Ning in terms of both power and rank.

The two are not equals.

"Section Chief Shen, you're too kind. What exactly happened?"

Qu Ning didn't waste any words with Shen Mozhou and asked directly, "Did the Chief only give him three days to find a hidden Japanese spy?"

Fortunately, he had an accomplice and a statement, but he had no idea whose statement it was or what it said.

The statement is in his hands and has not been opened yet.

"We'll talk to you in your office."

Shen Mozhou was originally ordered to assist Qu Ning, and as soon as he arrived at the office, he immediately informed Qu Ning of the entire situation.

However, he concealed Su Yuncheng's situation, only saying that the director had an unexpected discovery of a Japanese spy while dining in the French Concession.

Chen Yansheng remained silent, but he understood that his teacher still had feelings for Su Yuncheng; otherwise, he would have brought up Su Yuncheng's affairs.

"A Japanese spy was caught during a meal at the department head's office?"

After hearing Shen Mozhou's explanation, Qu Ning's eyes widened in disbelief. "This is acceptable?"

He's eaten out many times, so how come he's never seen a Japanese spy?

"Yes, this is the Chief's case. Morita has confessed, and he has been brought back. You can interrogate him at any time."

Shen Mozhou smiled and nodded. It was true that they caught Japanese spies while eating, but only if someone had foreseen it for them.

If Qu Ning knew that Su Yuncheng could tell fortunes, she would probably go to Su Yuncheng often in the future to help him tell fortunes and catch Japanese spies.

"I won't interrogate the person first; I want to see their statement first."

Qu Ning felt a little more at ease. No wonder the section chief only gave him three days; there were preconditions.

They have already captured a Japanese spy who was lying in wait. If there are many clues in his confession, it will not be difficult to arrest him.

After carefully reviewing the statement, Qu Ning was dumbfounded.

Morita had no idea where this person was, what his name was, or even what he did for a living. How was he supposed to find him?

The only clue was his appearance and his visit to Nanjing a year ago, but the description of his appearance provided by Morita was very generic. Nanjing is a big city with a population of one million. Even if you went to each unit to check on him, three days would not be enough.

Qu Ning was immediately at a loss.

Shen Mozhou felt a little schadenfreude. Cases handled by the section chief are not easy to come by. A three-day time limit was something he definitely couldn't handle.

Anyway, the one who's having a headache is Qu Ning, not him. Better to die for your friend than for me.

"I'm going to see Morita."

The case has already been accepted, and Qu Ning has no choice but to hope that his interrogation will yield new information and alleviate the pressure.

Qu Ning questioned him for over an hour without resorting to torture.

Morita was injured and not suitable to be tortured again. Besides, Qu Ning still needed Morita to help him find people.

"Section Chief Qu, how do you plan to investigate? Yansheng and I will fully cooperate."

Leaving the interrogation room, Shen Mozhou asked directly that he was now assisting Qu Ning, which, simply put, meant he had to obey Qu Ning's orders.

Shen Mozhou had no objection to this; he hadn't dared to take the case before, and he certainly wouldn't dare now.
