Chapter 635: Turning the tables, defeating them in one fell swoop

Seeing Chen Yongren finally nod, Okamura Neiji showed a satisfied smile: "Chief Director Sir, I trust in your abilities; go ahead boldly."

"What about the people investigating with me? Commander-in-Chief Excellency, you can't let me investigate such a big case alone." Chen Yongren feigned dissatisfaction.

"Of course not. As repayment, you can draw 8 people from the North Peace Special Agency; I've already greeted them, and they will cooperate with all your investigations." Okamura Neiji laughed.

"Fine, but I will personally select these people." Chen Yongren said.

"No problem." Okamura Ne directly agreed: "This case should be led by you; you can freely select the people you need."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yongren then feigned a relaxed nod.

North Peace Special Agency?

Chen Yongren's heart stirred.

That Red Party traitor from back then seemed to have been locked up in the Special Agency?

If I could casually help my older brother resolve this trouble, that wouldn't be bad either.

No one can steal my credit, not even my own brother.

"To deal with this matter, I have again established a Special Investigation Squad in the Army Ministry?" Okamura Neiji said again.

"Special Investigation Squad?" Chen Yongren feigned ignorance.

"That's right, and you are the first squad leader of this unit." Saying this, Okamura Neiji paused and then continued.

"If you perform outstandingly in this investigation, I may consider making this temporary squad official."

"As for the specific work later, it will flexibly change according to needs."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yongren's eyes lit up.

This new department sounds somewhat interesting.

"Of course, this squad is not just an empty shell." Okamura Neiji said again: "Your office is on the second floor, with a sign for the Special Investigation Squad hanging above."

Chen Yongren nodded.

"Chief Director Sir, the Army Ministry demands we solve the case within half a month; time is urgent, please start the investigation immediately." Okamura Neiji picked up a stack of documents on the desk and handed them to Chen Yongren.

"This is the list of survivors from the internal meeting, as well as the personnel who participated in drafting that night's security plan."

"Survivors?" Chen Yongren received the documents.

"Naturally, the attackers couldn't possibly blow themselves up as well." Okamura Neiji was very certain.

"Your insight is impressive, Commander-in-Chief Excellency." Chen Yongren offered a compliment, picked up the documents on the desk, stood, and said: "Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief Excellency, I will surely ferret out the hidden mole!"

Adachi 23's expression was solemn.

"He's a typical youngster, huh? Do you know that Okamura Neiji is using you?"

Subsequently, Okamura Neiji picked up another document and handed it to Chen Yongren: "This is the personnel roster of the North Peace Special Agency; you can first get to know them, making it easier when you select people."

"Thank you for your trouble, Commander-in-Chief Excellency; I will certainly select carefully." Chen Yongren received the folder, preparing to leave.

"I'll see him off." Adachi also rose to his feet.

The two came outside, and Adachi then let out a long sigh.

"Uncle Adachi, what are you sighing about?" Chen Yongren pretended to be clueless.

Adachi reminded, saying: "Internal investigation inherently offends people; if mishandled, you'll stir up big trouble."

"In short, before solid evidence is available, do not lightly draw any conclusions."

"Understand?"

Okamura Neiji, that old fox, clearly stirred up the trouble himself, yet shamelessly kicked the ball away, even hoping to profit from it himself.

"Uncle Adachi, rest assured, I understand what to do." Chen Yongren gave a casual reply.

"This is the list of outstanding personnel from the North Peace Special Agency." Adachi 23 handed a sheet to Chen Yongren: "Remember the names above and request people by those names."

"Trust my judgment; they will surely bring you surprises."

"Surprises?"

Chen Yongren curled his lips; indeed, it was a surprise.

One must thank Adachi 23 for beforehand helping me avoid trouble; none of the people on this list can be used, otherwise it's not finding unlucky folks but seeking discomfort for oneself.

"Uncle, thanks for your hard work." Chen Yongren casually took the list: "I will seriously consider this matter."

Seeing the Chief Director like this, Adachi understood that further words were useless; he could only watch from behind, lest the Chief Director be used as a pawn.

Chen Yongren also found his own office.

Inside was about over a hundred square meters; the thoughtful old devil divided it into two departments.

The thoughtful old devil divided it into two parts.

One squad leader's office, one squad members' hall.

Though the sparrow is small, it possesses all five viscera.

Telephones, electric lights, heating—everything one could need; there was even a radio, and the squad members' work area had several desks set up, allowing eight people to work simultaneously.

Pushing the door open and entering the squad leader's office, what came into view was a large desk.

Behind the desk hung the four Chinese characters "All under One Heaven".

Although it felt nauseating.

But now it cannot simply be torn off; Chen Yongren endured the nausea and sat at the desk's edge.

Casually flipping through the personnel files in hand, which not only had photos but also résumés, thus saving him the trouble of checking each individually.

First find a scapegoat, then talk.

With a target, then slowly dig a pit for him, completely pinning the leak case on his head.

This "Lucky One" must previously also have had "dirt".

Of course.

Such dirt must be indecisive, unclear, and able to be spoken about either way.

Soon, Chen Yongren found his target.

Yamada Tarou, lieutenant colonel.

The reason is simple: he is Okamura Neiji's adjutant and one of his confidants in North China.

However.

It will soon become a major thorn in Okamura Neiji's side.

The record shows.

Yamada Tarou followed Okamura Neiji for over ten years, doing many things for him.

On paper, the record looked fine, but Chen Yongren, using his scanning eye, saw something different.

Yamada Tarou had once secretly bought some intelligence for Okamura Neiji, and was also responsible for some smuggling business, trading in scarce supplies.

This kind of moneymaking tactic of the little devils was nothing new to Chen Yongren, so it wasn't surprising.

But now…

Who the hell knows whether, when you bought intelligence from an information dealer, you might have sold intelligence as well?

You say you're loyal?

Why wouldn't I believe you?

Who can prove it?

Especially when it comes to reselling scarce supplies, you say you want to resell them to whom?

I can see you looking to resell to people on the Red Party and National Government side…

Not admitting it?

Once in my hands, it's not up to you whether you want it or not, but up to me whether I'm willing.

What you want to say is no longer up to you.

Black Pot King.

Yamada Tarou is about to go online.

You damned Okamura Neiji, still trying to screw me over—I'll fucking chop off one of your arms first.

Having confirmed the target, Chen Yongren no longer wasted time, immediately setting out for the Beiping Special Agency to prepare to select his own team members.

Those who are too clever certainly won't do, and those who are too opinionated also won't do.

Chen Yongren mainly wanted to pick people whose abilities were unremarkable and who consistently scored at the bottom in evaluations, because only such idiots would not interfere with his performance.
