Genius Agent

Chapter 57 Successful Capture

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that they encountered someone suspected of being a Japanese spy at the Lowell Hotel?

Catching Japanese spies is a good thing. The Special Service has dealt with Japanese spies many times and knows that they are the most cunning. These spies all speak Chinese very well. If they don't give themselves away, no one can find out their true identities.

If this waiter really was a Japanese spy, then Su Yuncheng had indeed given him a considerable credit.

"Yes, Chief."

The group realized that the magistrate had believed the divination Su Yucheng had given him and were preparing to arrest him and interrogate him thoroughly.

Arresting people was easy; they brought quite a few men with them. Meanwhile, the Chief of Staff left the French Concession and headed to Shanghai Railway Station, where he would be safer.

The arrest operation was to be led by Shen Mozhou.

Catching just one lurking waiter isn't too difficult; the key is getting him out of the French Concession. But that won't stump Shen Mozhou either; he can ask Du Risheng's men for help.

Du Risheng wouldn't refuse such a small favor.

With everything prepared, Shen Mozhou personally went to the vicinity of the Luowei Hotel to wait for Xiao Wei to get off work.

Arresting people directly in the restaurant is definitely not an option, as it would provoke strong protests from the French and Italians.

After he got off work, they secretly kidnapped him, and no one knew how he disappeared. Even the restaurant owner didn't care too much in the end.

At most, you can go to the police station to report the incident and ask the police to help you find the person.

The life or death of a waiter is not something these foreign bosses care about too much.

In Shanghai, the death of a few people is nothing unusual in normal times.

In the afternoon, Su Yuncheng took Huang Chuanming and the others to the Xiafei Road Police Station to continue training them. Huang Chuanming made the fastest progress, and his training intensity was also the highest.

Su Yuncheng wasn't in a hurry. He took it one step at a time, first teaching him the basics and then more advanced espionage skills later.

As for how much he can ultimately learn, that depends on his own talent.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Su Yuncheng went to bed early.

The Luowei Hotel had just closed for the day, and Xiao Wei changed his clothes, preparing to go home.

Su Yuncheng led Boss Dai to the Luowei Hotel, where Boss Dai was indeed recognized by Xiao Wei.

He had received rigorous training and not only speaks fluent Mandarin but also understands a great deal about Chinese culture.

The original plan was to send him to Nanjing to go undercover, but after he arrived in Nanjing a year ago, the higher-ups changed their minds.

He was reassigned to infiltrate the French Concession, where he mainly gathered intelligence on Chinese and French people.

Over the past year, he has reported a number of important intelligence reports, including Su Yuncheng's efforts to help Dilang become the Commissioner of Police.

The Japanese knew in advance that Durand was going to the police station.

They had considered promoting someone who was obedient, but there was no suitable candidate. Deputy Director Durand was simply too inexperienced to be promoted.

Knowing that Su Yuncheng was backed by Tomohiro Muto, and especially after Muto personally intervened, the Special Higher Police stopped interfering in the matter.

Delon was promoted to power with the help of Tomoo Muto, so his relationship with the Japanese is definitely closer.

However, his performance was recognized by the section chief.

He had previously planned to infiltrate Nanjing, and had seen photos of some important figures there, including the section chief who visited today.

The head of the Special Service Department—that's someone their Special Higher Police are keeping a close eye on; he recognized him at a glance just now.

The head of the Kuomintang's secret service arrived in Shanghai and was in the French Concession. Providing this information about his whereabouts alone would be a great achievement for him.

So after the others finished their meal and left, he immediately asked for leave and returned to the Special Higher Police to report on the matter.

He didn't dare to make a phone call because he was worried about the security of the phone. The French Concession wasn't too far from the Japanese quarter, so it was best to go there and notify them.

Sure enough, this intelligence earned him praise. His section chief met with him directly and said that he would help him get commended and promoted.

If they could secretly capture this head of the Special Service Department, the merit would be enough to promote him directly to squad leader.

Xiao Wei was satisfied with the result. Investigating people wasn't his job, but he trusted his colleagues to secretly catch this big shot in the Kuomintang.

Thinking that the head of the Special Service Department had been arrested because of him, Xiao Wei felt a sense of pride.

This is not only a merit, but also a stepping stone for his future career, potentially leading to higher positions and ranks.

He was lucky today; he unexpectedly stumbled upon such a great achievement.

The section chief, whom he considered to have made a great contribution, was at Shanghai Station at the moment, looking very unwell.

Wang Hengxin, the station chief of Shanghai Station, Du Ruolin, the intelligence team leader, and Cao Lijun, the action team leader, were all present. They did not expect the director to suddenly come to Shanghai Station, as they had not received any prior notice.

Wang Hengxin, in particular, is feeling a bit uneasy.

Upon arriving at Shanghai Station, the Chief of Staff ordered his men to inquire about the situation in the French Concession. Sure enough, mysterious people had gone to the hotel where he had stayed, and others were asking about his whereabouts.

It was obvious that these people were Japanese spies, and the waitress was an undercover Japanese spy who had reported her whereabouts.

The Japanese wanted to secretly arrest him in the French Concession.

Those damned Japanese, they actually wanted to arrest him?

He understood the importance of his identity. If the Japanese captured him, they wouldn't need to kill him; they could coerce or entice him into submission, which would be a huge gain for the Japanese.

Fortunately, he was careful and, after realizing that his whereabouts had been compromised, he decisively moved to Shanghai Station.

This is his territory; his safety is not an issue here.

"Chief, Deputy Section Chief Shen has successfully apprehended the suspect and will be back at Shanghai Station soon."

Secretary Qi had been waiting for news, and as soon as he confirmed the information, he came to report immediately.

"Take me to the interrogation room."

The magistrate stood up, glanced around, and then said, "Hengxin, you come with me. The rest of you stay put and wait for orders. No one is allowed to contact the outside world."

Having captured the Japanese spy, the next step is to interrogate him to get the results.

Before they could get the Japanese spies to talk, this matter had to be kept secret. Even Wang Hengxin didn't know why the director had come or why they needed to use their interrogation room.

He had been anxious all afternoon, but now that he knew the director's men were back and he was a juror, he finally felt a little relieved.

He was genuinely worried that he would be the one being interrogated in the torture chamber.

Although he didn't do much in his daily life, he never skimped on what he could get. Last time, he even caused Hu Bang'an's death. He didn't have that much confidence.

Upon entering the interrogation room, Wang Hengxin's mind began to race.

The Director personally came to Shanghai to arrest and interrogate people. What kind of people are they that deserve such treatment from the Director?

The person captured this time must be someone of extraordinary status; otherwise, the Chief of Staff wouldn't have been so secretive, much less come in person.

He was filled with curiosity and wanted to know who the person who had been captured was, but unfortunately he didn't dare to ask.

Xiao Wei was indeed arrested. He was hit on the head with a club on his way home. Although he was very careful, it was still impossible to guard against.

Shen Mozhou immediately subdued him and used the Green Gang to help him smuggle himself out of the French Concession.

It's difficult to take multiple people out at night, but it's much easier to take just one person out.

"Sir, I have not failed you in your mission."

Shen Mozhou personally escorted the person into the interrogation room, smiling and boasting about his achievements. He noticed that Wang Hengxin was also there, and nodded slightly to Wang Hengxin as a greeting.
