Chapter 112: Spinning a Cocoon to Bind Oneself

【Congratulations, master, you have obtained the skill Scanning Eye lv2】

The Scanning Eye skill successfully upgraded to level 3.

New function: can check the target's third hidden identity and current status.

Current status?

What is this new function?

Chen Yongren casually slipped the film roll into his pocket, opened his palm, and activated the Scanning Eye.

A string of data appeared before his eyes.

Name: Chen Yongren.

Age: 20.

Native place: Fengxia Creek Mouth.

Code names: Yellow Weasel, Godfather.

Former code name: Poison Scorpion.

Current position: Deputy Chief of Songhu Police Station.

Hidden identity 1: Head of Songhu Station, Military Intelligence Bureau.

Hidden identity 2: Songhu underground intelligence operative, code name Godfather.

Hidden identity 3: Underground black market trader, alias Xiao Tu.

Note: Hidden identities increase or decrease at any time as the master changes.

Current status: Liu Jianming clings to him like a mad dog.

Although he successfully survived this crisis, Chen Yongren knows Liu Jianming will not give up so easily; he is thinking of ways to respond to his upcoming probing.

Seeing this, Chen Yongren's eyes lit up.

It turns out the current status can show what the target has been worrying about recently.

This is actually a good function.

Still, the same saying: although insight is useful, one can only perceive it when the target is thinking about those things.

If the target isn't thinking about it, even if you probe to the heavens it's useless, and insight only works within the skill's range.

This is also why Chen Yongren, for the sake of national righteousness, wanted to obtain better intelligence, chose to persuade Fujiwara Linai and Gao Liu Meizuko.

Have them help keep an eye on what their husbands have been busy with lately.

After resolving a crisis, the Scanning Eye skill upgraded again.

Chen Yongren really wants to thank Liu Jianming properly; at times like this, sending him an agent lets Chen Yongren openly slaughter a pig.

Looking at the Japanese agent on the ground, Chen Yongren dragged him out like dragging a dead dog.

At this moment Liu Jianming was lurking at the alley entrance with his men, perfect timing to give him a big gift.

This damned thing is practically a mad dog, biting me and not letting go.

Where else did I go wrong, causing Liu Jianming to keep suspecting me?

……

Alley entrance.

Liu Jianming occasionally glanced at the alley entrance; the fish had already been released, now just waiting to close the net!

He waited a moment.

Liu Jianming frowned slightly, wondering why there was no movement at Chen Yongren's place, when he faintly heard some sound coming from the alley.

"Brothers, hurry, that bastard definitely went in; no matter what, we must catch him!" Liu Jianming reacted quickly, leading a few constables into the alley, just colliding head-on with Chen Yongren.

"Brother Ming, what are you doing here?" Chen Yongren feigned surprise.

"A Ren, do you have..." Because it was dark, Liu Jianming also didn't notice Chen Yongren still holding a person in his hand.

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Yongren cut him off: "Brother Ming, you came at just the right time; I've captured a Military Intelligence Bureau agent, and I was about to head back to the police station and then call you."

Saying this, Chen Yongren threw Tanaka Xing's corpse at Liu Jianming's feet.

"Since you're here, hurry up and take him away, so he doesn't dirty my home."

Immediately, Chen Yongren eagerly locked the Scanning Eye onto Liu Jianming.

Name: Qiutian Zhengzhu.

Age: 25.

Native place: Riben.

Code name: Wooden Fish.

Former code name: None.

Current position: Chief of Songhu Police Station.

Hidden identity: Songhu Special Agency agent.

Current status: Due to Chen Yongren's Huaxia identity, he has always been suspicious of him.

After personally investigating, he found that personnel related to Chen Yongren seemed to have been deliberately dealt with, deepening his suspicion of Chen Yongren.

He repeatedly set schemes to make Chen Yongren slip up; moreover, the trust of Fujiwara Jintai and Gao Liu Xiuji in him made him increasingly annoyed by this.

He is now considering how to uncover Chen Yongren's true identity.

Damn it.

Looking at the current status field, Chen Yongren finally understood exactly where the problem lay.

Hearing this stream of thoughts, Chen Yongren finally understood where the problem was.

File.

The little devil checked me once, and then went to check again?

Liu Jianming, you fucking already have a death wish.

Chen Yongren increasingly felt he needed to find a chance to kill this bastard.

Liu Jianming looked down at the unconscious Tanaka Sachi, his eyelid twitching twice.

"Deputy Police Chief Chen is really formidable!"

"Exactly, we were just about to catch this guy."

"He really is clueless, actually showing up at your house—this is basically walking straight into the gun."

……

Upon hearing Chen Yongren's words, the policemen who didn't understand the situation began to flatter him.

Meanwhile, Liu Jianming crouched down, extended a finger, and probed under Tanaka Sachi's nose.

He seems to have stopped breathing?

Liu Jianming looked at Chen Yongren in surprise.

He got his own subordinate killed?

Seeing Liu Jianming's expression, Chen Yongren feigned helplessness and said: "I originally wanted to capture this bastard alive, bring him back to our police station for slow interrogation, to dig out more clues."

But when threats didn't work on me, this bastard dared to resist arrest; I couldn't hold back and accidentally killed him.

Chen Yongren looked at Liu Jianming and carefully asked: "Ming Ge, this should be fine, right?"

"..." Liu Jianming fell into silence, not knowing what to say.

Before the operation began, he still assured Tanaka Sachi that this mission was absolutely safe.

Once Chen Yongren made a move to arrest, pretending to be overpowered and captured, at most he would suffer only minor injuries, and would definitely not be in mortal danger.

Who knew the retaliation would come so quickly?

Tanaka Sachi's death completely exceeded Liu Jianming's expectations.

"Right, Ming Ge!" Chen Yongren, looking suddenly enlightened, pulled out a film roll from his pocket: "I also found a film roll in his clothes."

Liu Jianming looked at the film roll in Chen Yongren's palm, and felt like chopping off his hand.

This was originally used as bait to lure Chen Yongren, but ended up returning to his own hand.

"A Ren, you didn't open it, right?" Liu Jianming asked.

Chen Yongren shook his head and said: "Ming Ge, I still understand the rules; this guy is an anti-Japanese element, can I look at what's in the film roll?"

Even if Liu Jianming knew it was just a blank film roll, he could only hold his nose and say: "Good, A Ren, you did this very well!"

"You don't know, this guy teamed up with a traitor and captured some confidential documents."

"If Director Fujiwara knows it's you, having successfully prevented the leak of confidential documents without any fuss, he would certainly be very pleased!"

Although Liu Jianming's face bore a smile, his heart was filled with despair, and he had lost an agent for nothing.

"Could it be that Chen Yongren's identity is actually fine?"

"Otherwise he couldn't have acted so decisively; if he were a Military Intelligence Bureau agent, his first reaction should have been to verify Tanaka Sachi's identity."

"No, he definitely has a problem."

"The Police Academy's files related to you have all disappeared; the only file is again in Songhu; this certainly doesn't look like a coincidence."

"I absolutely don't believe he's just an ordinary policeman!"
