Chapter 265: Chen Yongren's Analysis

Accompanied by a deafening explosion sound, the special train racing on the rails was instantly flung into the air.

Immediately afterwards, under the violent shockwave, it was torn to pieces, fragments shooting out in all directions.

The puppet Japanese officers aboard the special train hadn't even realized what had happened; they didn't have time to let out a scream before being blown to dust in the explosion.

The puppet traitors in the special train died very peacefully.

The flames and thick smoke from the explosion kept rolling upward, and the bridge collapsed utterly in the violent blast.

The wreckage of the special train scattered like dumplings into the rushing river below the bridge.

Seeing the special train's demolition completed, the task force members, without any hesitation, left this place of right and wrong before the surrounding Japanese troops could bring reinforcements.

Elsewhere.

The steamer had arrived at the port ahead of time; the port, including the steamer, was entirely filled with Japanese puppet ambush troops, who had set up an impenetrable net—even a fly couldn't escape.

Too bad.

Their lure-the-enemy plan was doomed to fail.

The Japanese Consulate.

After coming out of the restroom, Chen Yongren coaxed Fujiwara Yūko again, then followed beside Fujiwara Jintai, listening to him introduce the banquet proceedings and the main task during the banquet.

External publicity.

Because Chen Yongren has a good appearance and excellent demeanor, he is the most suitable to be put forward for external publicity.

Just like in a movie, handsome and beautiful male and female film stars.

Fujiwara Jintai also placed great importance on tomorrow's conference, even preparing a speech for Chen Yongren to deliver on stage to promote the peace theory properly.

Chen Yongren snorted inwardly at these remarks, thinking the old devil was just farting, yet outwardly he praised the speech.

The old devil laughed heartily; the wrinkles on his face looked like blooming chrysanthemums.

Suddenly.

Chen Yongren heard a series of system notification tones.

【Congratulations, Master, for successfully completing the mission to blow up the Japanese special train】

【Personnel losses: 0】

System reward: 【Aircraft Piloting Mastery】

【Congratulations, Master, for successfully killing one Japanese spy, gaining 20 gold bars】

【Congratulations, Master, for successfully killing one Japanese spy, gaining 1 ton of steel】

【Congratulations, Master, for successfully killing one puppet-government spy, gaining 2 tons of copper】

【Congratulations, Master, for successfully killing one Japanese spy, gaining 10 boxes of anti-inflammatory medicine】

……

Besides the Japanese military police on the special train, there were also a dozen or so puppet agents, but this time they all came cheap for Chen Yongren, who reaped the rewards handsomely.

Once the system notifications arrived, it was clear that the train had been successfully blown up.

Chen Yongren's expression was calm as he looked at the smiling Fujiwara Jintai beside him.

Laugh, laugh, but later you won't be able to laugh!

Chen Yongren continued to focus his attention on the system rewards.

Aside from some cash rewards.

The rest are currently the most scarce supplies, even including a few sets of parachutes?

Is this dog system planning to let me go to heaven and earth?

【Aircraft Piloting Mastery】: Master, you will become proficient in all aircraft piloting skills, including but not limited to bombers, fighters, reconnaissance planes, and civilian airliners.

Whether jet-powered or propeller-driven, it will be as easy as pie for you, like walking on flat ground.

Seeing this skill, Chen Yongren's eyes lit up.

The dog system really gave face.

If one day it's truly needed to carry out an assassination at high altitude, this skill will produce unexpected effects.

Chen Yongren felt some anticipation, calculating how to find an opportunity to operate a plane in practice.

Cars, boats, plus an airplane.

Triple threat!

"Chen Sang, did you remember what I told you?" Fujiwara Jintai's words pulled Chen Yongren's thoughts back to reality.

"Remembered, Director Fujiwara!" Chen Yongren stood upright and bowed, saying: "Please rest assured, I will certainly not let you lose face tomorrow!"

Fujiwara Jintai arrogantly nodded, about to say something, when a second lieutenant rushed over to him in a hurry.

"Panicking like that—what's the matter!" Fujiwara Jintai frowned and snapped.

"Major His Excellency, something's happened!" the Japanese second lieutenant's face looked grim.

"Speak!" Fujiwara Jintai said, full of impatience.

The second lieutenant glanced at Chen Yongren, his expression showing a hint of hesitation.

"Director Fujiwara, you go ahead and attend to your business." Chen Yongren, already knowing what had happened, immediately distanced himself from Fujiwara Jintai and walked over to Fujiwara Yūko.

Seeing Chen Yongren walk away, the Japanese second lieutenant's voice trembled: "The special train, the special train, while about to enter Songhu, was blown up by resistance fighters; not a single officer aboard survived."

"What!" Fujiwara Jintai's tone suddenly rose a few notches.

Hearing this news, Fujiwara Jintai was somewhat bewildered.

The other banquet attendees, hearing the commotion, all turned their gazes to Fujiwara Jintai.

He quickly realized that this matter could not be made public for now, lowering his voice: "When did this happen, and who did it?"

"Just ten minutes ago; because things happened suddenly, we can't confirm who attacked the train!"

Upon hearing this, Fujiwara Jintai was about to burst with anger.

Investigate this immediately! Fujiwara Kinta snapped.

Go check, go investigate this matter right away! Fujiwara Chikata said harshly.

Officials at the peace conference were assassinated, and you're still setting up a banquet hall?

Officials attending the Peace Conference were assassinated, and you still set up a damn banquet hall?

Seeing Chen Yongren chatting amicably with Fujiwara Yuko, Fujiwara Kinta pondered, then promptly escorted Chen Yongren back to the Tsuchihara Agency.

Seeing Chen Yongren happily chatting with Fujiwara Yuko, Fujiwara Chikata thought for a moment, then immediately brought Chen Yongren back to the Tsuchiwara Agency.

He called all the officers in charge of this matter within the agency into the office.

He summoned all the officers in the agency responsible for this matter into the office.

Given the gravity of this security breach, they had certainly been informed; five Japanese officers stood beside Fujiwara Kinta, shaking, afraid to even breathe.

Such a major security incident, they of course had already received the news; five Japanese officers stood beside Fujiwara Chikata trembling, not daring to breathe.

Since they were in charge of planning the special train's security, they must bear full responsibility for the incident.

Since they were in charge of planning the special train's safety, when something went wrong they naturally had to bear full responsibility.

You idiots, worthless lot! Fujiwara Kinta snapped, pointing at them, face flushed with anger: "This is what you claimed wouldn't happen—that the security plan was absolutely foolproof?"

Idiots, useless, a bunch of good-for-nothings! Fujiwara Chikata pointed at the several people before him, face full of anger: "Is this what you said would not happen, that the security plan was absolutely foolproof?"

The enemy never attacked the ship; they laid an ambush on the railway instead.

The enemy didn't attack the steamship at all; they directly set an ambush on the railway!

After such a huge incident, you know nothing—what good are you to me?

After such a major incident, you actually know nothing—what's the point of keeping you around?

Chen Yongren stood to the side, pretending surprise, and asked: "The special train—isn't that a ship?"

Chen Yongren stood to the side, feigning surprise, and asked: "The special train—isn't it a steamship?"

The ship was merely a decoy; these idiots, fearing rebels would disrupt the conference, deliberately tossed out a decoy! Fujiwara Kinta snarled.

The steamship is just a bait; this bunch of idiots, worried that the insurgents would sabotage the conference, deliberately threw out a bait! Fujiwara Chikata said through gritted teeth.

I never imagined the rebels would be so crafty—they didn't take the bait, but instead headed straight to the railway to set an ambush.

I never expected those insurgents to be so cunning; they didn't take the bait at all, but turned around and set an ambush on the railway.

So many people died, and these idiots had no inkling beforehand—and still have not a shred of evidence.

So many people died, yet this bunch of idiots didn't notice anything beforehand, and even now there isn't even a hint of a clue!

Director Fujiwara, there are actually still clues, Chen Yongren said after a moment's thought.

Director Fujiwara, there actually are clues. Chen Yongren said after a moment's thought.

What do you mean? Fujiwara Kinta asked.

How so? Fujiwara Chikata asked.

First, we can eliminate the Red Party as suspects, Chen Yongren explained. We just raided a Red Party liaison point and seized a cache of explosives.

First, we can rule out the Red Party's involvement. Chen Yongren analyzed: "We just busted a Red Party contact point and seized a batch of explosives."

These people already lead tough lives; even if they got wind of the special train, they wouldn't have enough explosives to pull this off.

These guys already have a hard life; even if they obtained information about the special train, they wouldn't have enough explosives to carry out such an act.

After a pause, Chen Yongren continued: Why would the enemy target the special train rather than the ship? Someone must have tipped them off.

After a pause, Chen Yongren added: "Why would the enemy attack the special train instead of the steamship? This must be because someone tipped them off."
