Chapter 332: Positioning Dog
Upon hearing this, Sato Yusuke frowned tightly; this was indeed a very troublesome matter.
"For now, don't worry about him," Sato Yusuke said after a moment's thought.
The Japanese lieutenant asked: "Not worry about him?"
"That's right, Kato-kun; the Chinese have an old saying: respond to all changes with constancy." Sato Yusuke said confidently: "That mole knows exactly what we will do; as long as we hold our position, he will only be more anxious than we are."
"Director Sato, you're brilliant," Kato Masaru said after a moment's thought, immediately understanding his meaning.
But since we've come to Songhu, we can't just sit idle; "What about Chen Yongren? Those investigating him have had mishaps one after another; no matter how you look at it, there's strong suspicion of collusion with the enemy—so…"
"No." Sato Yusuke shook his head and refused: "Chen Yongren's identity is special; if he were just an ordinary agent, that would be fine, but he happens to be the leader of Unit 76!"
"Without any evidence, rashly arresting him would only lose our own people."
After pondering a while, Sato Yusuke then said: "Zhang Haifeng."
"Zhang Haifeng?" Kato Masaru wondered.
Sato Yusuke said: "Exactly, it's him; although we can't move against Chen Yongren, Zhang Haifeng can serve as our breakthrough point."
"I suspect these two are not just fellow alumni; there must be a deeper connection, perhaps they were even hiding together."
"Where is this guy now?"
"He's still recuperating in the hospital." Kato Masaru immediately said: "I'll send people right now to seize him and bring him to the interrogation room for strict questioning!"
"No, come back!" Sato Yusuke scolded: "I've already told you not to be so impatient; although Zhang Haifeng doesn't have Chen Yongren's influence..."
"... but this guy is ultimately Chen Yongren's man; even if we were to arrest him, we absolutely cannot do it under the guise of the locust army."
"What do you mean?" Kato Masaru asked.
Sato Yusuke pondered then said: "Wait until he leaves the hospital, then pose as members of the Eradicate Traitors Squad, seize him and interrogate him strictly, asking why he surrendered and became a traitor!"
"Eradicate Traitors Squad?" Kato puzzled: "Then are we impersonating the Central Statistics Bureau or the Military Statistics Bureau?"
"No, just the Eradicate Traitors Squad; let Zhang Haifeng guess for himself!" Sato Yusuke's eyes flashed with a hint of cruelty as he smirked.
"Interrogate him as a traitor, make him confess honestly how many comrades he has harmed, and cooperate with the Eradicate Traitors Squad to assassinate Chen Yongren."
"When this guy sees he's been captured by his own comrades, to save his life he will surely confess his identity honestly."
"Not only Zhang Haifeng, but we will also gain a clear understanding of Chen Yongren's identity!"
"Perhaps we can even uncover their contact points and even other hidden agents all at once!"
"Excellency Sato, you're brilliant!" Kato Masaru said respectfully: "Your subordinate will go make the preparations."
"Do it nicely; make sure he doesn't spot any flaws, understand?" Sato Yusuke instructed.
"Hai!" Kato Masaru replied standing at attention.
……
To celebrate that Unit 76 has gained another 'beast of sin',
Chen Yongren began another round of assassination operations.
Although these dog traitors are like leeks—cut one batch and another grows.
But since the reward is free, not taking it would be wasteful; even a mosquito leg, small as it is, is still meat.
This time, Chen Yongren also did not drive a car; after two consecutive vehicular attacks, even the Japanese‑puppet spies learned a lesson.
Streets at key military sites added new checkpoints and sentry posts; once a car appeared, they would launch a full‑scale encirclement, tearing away its mysterious veil.
Therefore, Chen Yongren returned to basics, infiltrated in flesh, and slaughtering a few small fry posed no difficulty.
【Congratulations, Master, you have successfully eliminated one puppet‑government agent and received the item reward "Positioning Dog" ×5】
Chen Yongren casually slit a traitor's throat and then heard a pleasant system notification.
Positioning Dog?
What does it do?
It seems never to have appeared before.
After being busy for a few hours, I finally got a new item.
Chen Yongren opened the system warehouse and examined the item's function.
【Positioning Dog】: The master can use the Positioning Dog on any target; after use, the target's position can be viewed in real time on a flat map.
No matter where the target hides, it cannot escape your eyes.
Hmm?
Nice thing.
Seeing this item reward, Chen Yongren instantly felt energized.
Isn't this just a positioning device that never runs out of power?
Chen Yongren immediately selected the Positioning Dog item, opened the panel, and chose to use it on Hua Lei.
【Positioning Dog item, successfully used on Hua Lei】
Opened the electronic map.
The flat map of Songhu City instantly appeared before Chen Yongren's eyes.
On the map,
Near Chen Yongren's home, a small bright spot appeared on the street, displaying Hua Lei's name; she was currently walking toward her home.
A few minutes later she returned home; the map zoomed in, showing Hua Lei moving back and forth in the kitchen, apparently preparing tonight's dinner.
Chen Yongren also, in passing, used one each on Zhang Haifeng and Zhang Dingqi.
The map then displayed the two targets again.
Zhang Dingqi appeared in his home bedroom, while Zhang Haifeng appeared in a ward of the Songhu Japanese Army Hospital.
Because Fujiwara Chikata and Sato Yusuke are not Chen Yongren's subordinates, they cannot be used directly.
Even the Heavenly Eye skill lacks an exact target; for now it can only serve as an ATM marker.
Chen Yongren could only wait until tomorrow to see them, real-time monitor the exact location of these two old devils, and maybe even discover the location of the code-breaking team!
The next day.
Chen Yongren came to the Special Agency again.
Zuoban Xiongjie had just arrived in Songhu; his original purpose was to thoroughly investigate and supervise the work of the Songhu intelligence department, so recent meetings have been nonstop.
Seeing Tengyuan Jintai again.
This old devil isn't anything special.
His inner thoughts and recent situation show that he is worrying about how to deal with Zuoban Xiongjie's inspection, wanting to withdraw completely from the investigation.
Chen Yongren casually placed a tracking bug on him.
Another target appeared on the map again.
When looking at Zuoban Xiongjie again, Chen Yongren unexpectedly made a discovery.
Damn!
This bastard wants to take action against Zhang Haifeng?
His recent situation shows that, considering Chen Yongren's status and position, he plans to kidnap Zhang Haifeng again when he leaves the hospital, impersonating the Anti-Traitor Squad, to interrogate and reveal the true identities of him and Chen Yongren.
This bastard is really sly.
However, this old devil's mind works surprisingly fast; he actually thought of impersonating the Anti-Traitor Squad to force Zhang Haifeng to reveal his own identity.
We must think of a way to warn Zhang Haifeng, lest this guy fall for the old devil's trick.
Chen Yongren casually placed a tracking bug on Zuoban Xiongjie.
The electronic map now has five targets, five tracking bugs, all of which are being used.
During the meeting, Zuoban Xiongjie also did not give Chen Yongren a hard time.
After all, he had already prepared to take action against Zhang Haifeng.
Now he just wants Chen Yongren to temporarily let down his guard, then give him a big surprise.
After work.
Chen Yongren left the hospital, was about to go find Zhang Haifeng, when he saw that bastard walking toward him: 'Consultant Chen.'
