Chapter 364: Battle Uniform

When Tengyuan Jintai learned that Chen Yongren had achieved results in the interrogation of Chen Shu and that Chen Shu was willing to hand over the real list, he immediately rushed nonstop to Cell No. 76.

"Director Tengyuan." Chen Yongren handed the confession to Tengyuan Jintai: "All the confessions are here; please review."

After receiving the confession, Tengyuan Jintai examined it seriously: "Chen Sang, excellent; without you, we could never have obtained this valuable information!"

These confessions are extremely valuable, but Tengyuan Jintai's mind is elsewhere now; he is more concerned about the list!

Tengyuan Jintai again looked at Chen Shu: "I'm here; where is the list?"

Chen Shu lowered his head and remained silent.

"Director Tengyuan has arrived; hurry up and speak." Chen Yongren urged.

Chen Shu raised his head: "I'm hungry; I want to eat Western food."

"I think you look like Western food, don't be shameless..." Chen Yongren didn't finish his sentence.

"No need to get angry." Tengyuan Jintai waved his hand: "Since Mr. Chen Shu is cooperating like this, what's wrong with meeting his small request?"

"However..."

"Mr. Chen Shu, you deceived me once before; how can I trust you now?"

Chen Shu: "I can tell you the District Chief's hiding place."

"Didn't you say you didn't know?" Chen Yongren snapped angrily.

Chen Shu said: "I'm not stupid; naturally I prepared something to save my own life—his residence is my pledge!"

"You!" Chen Yongren stepped forward and wanted to strike him.

"Chen Sang, there's no need to be angry." Tengyuan Jintai restrained Chen Yongren and then asked: "So, where is he?"

"Qiele Road Lane 144, No. 10." Chen Shu said.

"Go arrest him immediately!" Chen Yongren personally led the team to apprehend.

After swiftly reaching the destination, Chen Yongren sent someone to climb in through the window and open the door.

After a search, they only saw documents in the basin that had not been completely burned.

"Damn, we're still a step late!" Chen Yongren feigned regret, led the unit back to No. 76, and reported the incident.

"This guy, his sense of smell is really sharp." Tengyuan Jintai had anticipated this result, flipping through the half-burned documents in the basin.

It must be that the District Chief fled in haste, without time to guard the documents from being destroyed.

From the remaining fragments, everything matched Chen Shu's report, and Tengyuan Jintai grew increasingly convinced of Chen Shu's confession.

Tengyuan Jintai looked at Chen Shu, his face full of smiles: "Mr. Chen Shu, I see your sincerity; now we can talk while eating."

"By the way, let's discuss your treatment; I've said before, the Locust Army will never mistreat anyone who wants to join it."

"'Perhaps we can keep this guy to check Chen Yongren.'"

"'No matter how you look at it, Chen Yongren's influence is simply too great.'"

"'Letting him grow unchecked seems not to be a good thing.'"

"'This would also give the Army Ministry an explanation, dispelling their worries.'"

……

Tengyuan Lao Guizi's thoughts are quite nice, and he still damn wants to check and balance.

Too bad, you're thinking too much.

"I believe our future cooperation with Director Tengyuan will be very pleasant." Chen Shu replied.

Under Tengyuan Jintai's order, two lackeys released Chen Shu, supporting him on left and right.

As they walked beside Tengyuan Jintai, Chen Shu, who had been drooping his head, suddenly summoned strength from somewhere and broke free of the restraints on both sides.

Then he snatched away Tengyuan Jintai's sidearm from his waist, and immediately stepped back two paces.

All of this happened very quickly.

No one could have imagined that Chen Shu, who had originally surrendered and then produced his pledge, would suddenly erupt.

"Damn, what are you trying to do?"

Looking at the dark muzzle before him, Tengyuan Jintai widened his eyes.

"Old devil, if I can take you with me before I die, it's worth it!" Chen Shu snarled, just about to pull the trigger.

The other agents inside also came to their senses.

"Bang bang bang~"

A burst of continuous gunfire suddenly rang out.

Chen Shu was hit by several bullets, incredulously glanced at the wound behind him, collapsed limp, and soon lost all movement.

Tengyuan Jintai stared at the corpse before him, still shaken.

"Director Tengyuan, how are you? Are you alright?" Chen Yongren stepped forward quickly to ask.

The old devil, still shaken: "I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine!"

"Chen Sang, fortunately you're here; otherwise..."

Tengyuan Lao Guizi looked at the corpse on the ground, his face flashing with hatred.

Chen Shu had feigned weakness to trick him into letting his guard down; the old devil, who had almost been killed, flushed with anger: "Damn, damn you bastard! This damned bastard!"

"Drag this damned bastard out to feed the dogs, immediately!"

"Why are you just standing there? Hurry up and carry out Director Tengyuan's orders!" Chen Yongren rebuked the two No. 76 agents beside him.

Not letting Tengyuan Jintai die is also to better clear suspicion; if Tengyuan Jintai died before our eyes, we would certainly have to take responsibility, with no escape.

With Chen Shu's death, there is now no living witness; no one knows why he did this.

Letting such a traitor die in this way can also be considered as his ancestral grave emitting green smoke.

Chen Shu is dead; staying here is pointless. Chen Yongren followed Tengyuan Lao Guizi back to the Advisory Office No. 76.

Tengyuan Jintai carefully examined Chen Shu's confession, as well as the remaining documents that were not burned.

The confession incident actually happened, and Fujiwara Chikata also had no doubt about this confession.

With Chen Shu's confession, Fujiwara Chikata became even more certain that the Yellow Weasel was a group, not an independent individual.

This fits my inference perfectly; the car is also connected to the Yellow Weasel and them.

Chen Shu knowing the car model and color certainly isn't just made up.

Although Chen Shu is dead, it's not without gain; at least the subsequent investigation now has a clearer direction.

Fujiwara Chikata was saved once again by Chen Yongren, and his suspicions of him were somewhat dispelled.

Looking at the document fragments in his hand, Fujiwara Chikata's thoughts raced.

【These fragments are really good stuff.】

【Since the Yellow Weasel changed their new password, there have been no leads so far, and the decryption mission has entered a stalled state.】

【Now with these textual supports, we can determine the telegraph frequency of that day based on time and infer their password pattern!】

……

The old devil fell for it.

Besides corroborating that the Songhu District Chief had been in that room, Chen Yongren also deliberately left the text for the devils to take and infer the password.

Anyway, the document content doesn't match the actual password at all; using these fragments to infer is enough to lead their decryption thinking into a ditch.

「Chen Sang, I still have things to do; you worked hard today. When I have time, I will properly thank you…」Fujiwara Chikata patted Chen Yongren on the shoulder and quickly left Room 76.

Chen Yongren sat in the chair, checking the reward obtained from killing Chen Shu.

【Master successfully eliminated the Military Statistics Bureau traitor, obtained item reward 'Battle Cloth'】

【Battle Cloth】: Master can upgrade your battle uniform, increasing its defense, modifying the battle uniform to add weapon functions, enhancing its attack, changing its color.

Materials for upgrading the battle uniform can all be obtained by killing Japanese puppet agents.

Seeing the system's series of descriptions, Chen Yongren immediately became interested in this battle uniform.
