Chapter 385: Give you a big black pot

Could it be a retaliatory action by the Red Party?

Also impossible.

So high-profile, it simply doesn't resemble the Red Party's style of action.

Although the report from Hangzhou Prefecture did not mention who bombed the Hangzhou Prefecture Special Agency, Fujiwara Chikata vaguely felt that this matter had countless connections with the Military Statistics Bureau.

Because the style of this matter is simply too Military Statistics Bureau, or rather too Yellow Weasel.

Moreover, there is still the most important point.

Why did these happenings occur precisely after Chen Yongren went to Hangzhou Prefecture?

Is there really no connection at all?

Fujiwara Chikata frowned in deep thought, suddenly realizing a problem: he seemed to be unable to regain his trust in Chen Yongren anymore.

No matter what happens, I can't help but think of him.

Looking at the urgent telegram from Hangzhou Prefecture in his hand, Fujiwara Chikata only felt an inexplicable annoyance in his heart; he casually tossed it onto the table, incessantly kneading the bridge of his nose to relieve pressure.

Chen Yongren's identity is doubtful, and the pressure from the Army Ministry makes Fujiwara Chikata unable to catch his breath.

A lieutenant general, a colonel, innumerable imperial forces and new government agents, plus dozens of new government officials, all died at the hands of the Yellow Weasels.

And these cases have so far yielded no clues.

The identities of the Yellow Weasel Team members remain a mystery.

As of today, the mole lurking within the agency has still not been found, and the Songhu Special Agency has never had such a poor record.

The Yellow Weasel Team not only showed no restraint, but frequently launched attacks against No. 76, the Special Agency.

A Songhu deputy district chief was captured—how could that be easily brushed aside, extinguishing the anger from the Army?

Not long ago, the Army Ministry sent another telegram.

It sternly ordered Fujiwara Chikata to definitely, within a week, at the very least capture a member of the Yellow Weasel.

Then he will be sent to a military court and severely punished without mercy.

Thinking of this, Fujiwara Chikata irritably scratched his head.

Where the hell are these damned bastards!

He knows very well that little time remains for him; he must do something to salvage.

Find a scapegoat?

Fujiwara Chikata suddenly had an idea.

But a scapegoat cannot be just anyone grabbed off the street; he must have sufficient strength, for only then would it be convincing.

Isn't Chen Yongren just a perfect scapegoat?

This guy's identity is vague; since we can't determine it, we might as well treat him as a member of the Yellow Weasel Team, kill him first, and that would also give the Army Ministry an explanation.

But Chen Yongren is, after all, the chief consultant of No. 76.

We can't just let him die like that; we must think of a plausible-sounding solution.

The old Japanese was thinking.

A sudden burst of knocking interrupted his thoughts.

So late, what could possibly be happening?

Could it be that damned Yellow Weasel causing a commotion again?

Fujiwara Chikata pricked up his ears; outside was extremely quiet, not seeming like something big was happening.

"Major His Excellency, are you inside?" the knocking outside grew increasingly urgent.

"Come in." Fujiwara Chikata closed the folder, sat upright, and said.

The door opened, and an excited Japanese lieutenant colonel strode into the office, closed the door, and quickly walked to Fujiwara Chikata's side: "Major His Excellency, good news!"

"You would never imagine, the agents lurking in Yu City just sent a telegram: he successfully turned a senior officer of the Military Statistics Bureau, Chen TianSong, in Yu City,"

"This guy is very interested in our policies and willing to defect and join our army."

"What?" Fujiwara Chikata couldn't believe it.

Until the Japanese lieutenant colonel repeated it again, the old Japanese finally snapped out of his shock.

"This is a briefing; please take a look!" the Japanese lieutenant colonel immediately handed the telegram to Fujiwara Chikata.

Fujiwara Chikata received the telegram and examined it carefully.

"According to him, he holds a great deal of confidential information from the National Government and the Military Statistics Bureau, enough to inflict a devastating blow on them." the Japanese lieutenant colonel continued.

"Is it credible?" Fujiwara Chikata frowned and asked, also worried that this might be a plot by the National Government.

"Credible." the Japanese lieutenant colonel bowed, saying: "When we met, this guy mentioned a target address we have long wanted to assassinate; the agents in Yu City have already successfully assassinated and verified the identity."

Hearing this, Fujiwara Chikata instantly perked up.

If that's the case, doesn't it mean I have a chance to learn the true identity of the Yellow Weasel?

"Where is this person? Bring him to see me right away!" Fujiwara Chikata stood up directly.

"He is still en route during transfer." the Japanese lieutenant colonel bowed: "The National Government already knows of his defection and is hunting him worldwide, hoping to eradicate him completely."

"You idiot!" Fujiwara Chikata couldn't help but curse: "Then why are you still reporting? Order them to extract as much information as possible from him before he dies!"

"Do I really need to teach you this kind of thing?"

"Major His Excellency, but he's very clever." the Japanese lieutenant colonel resignedly said: "He worries we'll abandon him; no matter how we threaten or lure him in between, he refuses to say another word."

Furthermore, he has made it clear that he will not reveal any more information before reaching a safe place and meeting you.

"Cunning Chinese pig!" Fujiwara Chikata snarled.

He knows very well that any defection and profit-sharing is just an attempt to use the information in hand to negotiate terms with him and gain more benefits.

"Remember, be sure to protect this guy's safety!"

"Yes!" the Japanese lieutenant colonel straightened up sharply and quickly left the office.

After the Japanese lieutenant colonel left, Tengyuan Jintai could no longer hide his excited expression, letting out an unpleasant laugh.

A defector, a senior special agent of the National Government?

This guy really came at the right time.

If he could bring news of the yellow weasel, that would be perfect.

Suddenly.

Tengyuan Jintai thought of a plan that could be called perfect, and simply let Chen Yongren be responsible for Chen TianSong's safety.

Isn't the National Government trying to find a way to assassinate him?

If it were due to Chen Yongren's inadequate protection leading to Chen TianSong's accidental death, I would have sufficient reason to execute him.

Even if Chen Yongren were blameless and did his best to protect him, afterwards they could use Chen TianSong's own mouth to frame him as the yellow weasel!

Regardless of whether he is the yellow weasel or not, after this incident Chen Yongren must be!

Old Devil Fujiwara thought viciously.

Chen Yongren's home.

After finishing his work, Chen Yongren was about to rest when the silent radio suddenly crackled.

He simply placed the radio signal somewhere in the suburbs and began receiving signals from the Chongqing side.

After receiving the signal, Chen Yongren couldn't help but curse grass mud horse.

A telegram came late at night, and sure enough, it was nothing good.

In Chongqing, a traitor named Chen TianSong appeared, and he has already caused the death of an important official; currently, with the assistance of Japanese spies, he is fleeing to Songhu.

This guy holds many important secrets; the Chongqing side ordered Chen Yongren to find his whereabouts and, before he could cause greater damage to the National Government, to kill him.

Even over the radio, Chen Yongren could feel Boss Dai's anger.
