Chapter 421: Carrier Pigeon

~7 min read 1,335 words

He came to a tea shop near Wu Yifang's house, sat down, and ordered a pot of high-mountain cloud-and-mist tea.

This tea shop is right diagonally opposite Wu Yifang's house; sitting here, one can clearly see Wu Yifang's front gate, so there's no need to worry about attracting attention.

"Good tea." Chen Yongren held the teacup and took a careful sip.

Lin Ke Xin gave Chen Yongren a glance.

You actually came to drink tea?

As a matter of fact, even when a beautiful woman rolls her eyes, it seems like she's acting coquettish toward you.

Chen Yongren, however, had no mind to appreciate it; he kept his Heavenly Eye open, constantly monitoring the radar map.

For others, capturing Japanese spies might require a series of tedious procedures.

But for Chen Yongren, as soon as he discovers their trail, the Japanese spies are not far from being caught.

Along the way, Chen Yongren also used the Wind Listener skill to search for radio signals in Yu City, trying to find some suspicious stations, but found nothing.

After all, this is Yu City, the new capital of the National Government; without valuable intelligence, the Japanese would keep their radios silent to avoid being detected.

Lin Ke Xin sensed that Chen Yongren had learned some information, which is why he came to keep watch.

Chen Yongren stared intently at the Heavenly Eye map.

A dot suddenly appeared on the radar map!

It appeared!

Chen Yongren's heart stirred; while staring at the map, he began to use his Insight skill to listen to the thoughts of those around him…

"Infiltrating the Military Statistics Bureau is indeed the correct choice."

"They probably don't know how the information was leaked, and are scratching their heads over it."

"I also don't know whether Mr. Nagasawa can find any leads on the Yellow Weasel."

"That damned bastard has turned Songhu upside down; when did the Military Statistics Bureau's bunch of idiots train such a formidable agent?"

"What intelligence will Mr. Nagasawa send today?"

……

Not long after, a stream of thoughts appeared in Chen Yongren's ears.

The dog spy has appeared!

Look, this time I, the young master, won't catch you all in one go!

What the fuck intelligence.

It's naturally the intelligence about asking you all to go together.

After a while longer.

A figure gradually appeared before Chen Yongren's eyes, wearing a coarse hemp cotton outfit and a hat on its head.

The scan eye opened.

Name: Iwatani Jiro.

Alias: Qin Daobao.

Age: 20.

Military rank: None.

Native place: Japan·Hokkaido.

Current identity: Yu City civilian.

Hidden identity: Japanese High Mountain Team carrier pigeon.

Hidden identity 2: Japanese High Mountain Team leader, codename 'Woodpecker'.

Current situation: The High Mountain Team leader Woodpecker, disguised as a carrier pigeon, issues orders to each member of the spy teams and collects the intelligence gathered by each member.

Iwatani Jiro restarted the High Mountain Team, mainly to inherit his older brother Iwatani Ichiro's dying wish, to ferret out the killer of his brother.

Yo.

This is quite a catch; we've directly caught the head.

As long as we can capture the leader, interrogating him will let us follow the vine to pull out the Japanese of the High Mountain Team root and branch!

Although once the carrier pigeon is caught, the mole of the same team will sense danger and immediately go into silent mode, waiting until safety is confirmed before activating via the agreed password.

But Chen Yongren won't give them that chance.

Chen Yongren had already seen the boss's wristwatch waving at him.

Iwatani Ichiro.

Why does this name sound so familiar?

Upon further thought.

It seems to be the first leader of the High Mountain Team, who, when investigating the Japanese's rainstorm plan, was thrown out a smoke bomb.

Isn't that a coincidence?

The whole family has come to see us off.

Chen Yongren is very happy.

It can't stand seeing the Japanese family members scattered; it must make them reunite.

Once they show their heads, they can't think of escaping.

Iwatani Jiro slipped his hands into his pockets, pretending to walk past the gate of Nagasawa Yūsuke's house, and quickly glanced at the tree in Nagasawa Yūsuke's courtyard.

"Huh?"

"No intelligence?"

"I've been waiting in vain."

……

Yan Tian Cilang's gaze quickly returned to normal, he walked forward pretending not to care, completely unaware that he had already been targeted.

"Time to work." Chen Yongren tapped the table, pretended to pull something from his pocket, took out tea money from the small coffer and slapped it on the table.

Chen Yongren and Lin Ke Xin turned into street loafers, slowly strolling along the street, following behind Yan Tian Cilang.

"Does he have a problem?" Lin Ke Xin asked.

Chen Yongren nodded, casually bluffing: "I counted carefully; from the moment we sat down, the number of people who passed by Chang Ze You Jie's front door was 48."

"Only it, when passing by, suspiciously slowed its steps, simultaneously glanced at that tree in the courtyard, then sped up."

Of course, this was Chen Yongren speaking off the cuff, a line to fool Lin Ke Xin.

Upon hearing that, Lin Ke Xin became even more surprised.

When apprehending Chang Ze You Jie, one could say Chen Yongren stumbled upon sheer luck.

But now…

Lin Ke Xin increasingly felt that Chen Yongren was a very dangerous person, strengthening her resolve to act cautiously.

"But our sidearms haven't been issued..." Lin Ke Xin worried: "Should we go back and call for backup?"

If it's a group brawl, we must never choose single combat; this is Lin Ke Xin's work experience accumulated in the Military Statistics Bureau.

"No need, cleaning up this plate of rotten vegetables, I alone am enough; more people would only make the operation cumbersome." Chen Yongren said softly: "It would also easily alert it."

Regardless, this beast has already seen everything; at that time just hold it down, perform a soul-control interrogation, keep this damned thing, and it will spit out all it knows.

If one wants excitement, one could also give it a live dissection.

At worst, one could simply kill it to extract its recent memories.

Chen Yongren has at least nine ways to obtain the information he wants.

Nine ways!

Lin Ke Xin said no more, following Chen Yongren as they followed Yan Tian Cilang into a small alley.

Yan Tian Cilang deliberately slowed his pace, realizing he was being tailed.

"How was I exposed?"

"No matter how I was exposed, I must deal with the two behind me."

"This is Yu City; we can't just fire guns, otherwise nearby police will definitely launch a massive manhunt."

As Yan Tian Cilang walked forward, he suddenly turned, flipped his wrist, and a dagger appeared from his sleeve.

Yan Tian Cilang drew the dagger, revealing a savage grin, and swiftly lunged at Chen Yongren…

No.

Actually, he swiftly rushed toward Lin Ke Xin.

Chen Yongren frowned.

Damn it, if he won't cooperate and surrender, that's fine, but he dares to think he can bully my girl right in front of me?

Ren Ge was furious, the consequences would be severe.

Then…

"Bang!"

The air rang with an explosive sound.

Yan Tian Cilang, baring fangs and claws, preparing to strike Lin Ke Xin first, was hit by Chen Yongren's stepping side kick.

However fast Yan Tian Cilang had come, that's how fast he flew away.

Chen Yongren moved swiftly; Yan Tian Cilang didn't even get a chance to approach Lin Ke Xin before his whole body flew out.

Then…

Another "bang" sounded.

Yan Tian Cilang crashed heavily to the ground, motionless thereafter.

"……" Lin Ke Xin.

She didn't even see clearly how Chen Yongren struck, just saw Yan Tian Cilang fly out.

What a fast, vicious move.

Lin Ke Xin couldn't help but look at Chen Yongren.

This guy, is he even more formidable than I imagined?

"I haven't even used force, and this guy just flew out?" Chen Yongren feigned distress.
