Chapter 640: Yamada Tarou Is the Mole

The scanning eye opened.

Chen Yongren immediately rejoiced.

Yamada Tarou.

That's his goal.

Recent developments show that this guy is preparing to go to Jinkaidi Coffee Shop, trying his luck there, hoping to buy some valuable information.

Jinkaidi Coffee Shop is a concealed information trading point in Northern Peace.

From small-scale North China to the global scope, information from all industries, whether military or economic, you can find sellers here.

For better development and to obtain information, Japan also tacitly accepts the existence of this place.

Seeing this, Chen Yongren's eyes lit up.

Isn't this just a coincidence?

I was just worrying about not having a chance to mess with you, and you actually came to me?

"Chief Director Sir." Yamada Tarou, unaware that Chen Yongren was about to strike him, gave a slight nod.

Although Chen Yongren is only a second lieutenant, one cannot fail to respect the power behind him, otherwise one would be asking for trouble.

After all, on Chen Yongren's first day, Okamura Neiji warned him not to provoke the Yuan Chief lightly.

"Um… who are you?" Chen Yongren feigned ignorance.

The two had only met once and never spoken.

If Chen Yongren could directly recognize him, that would be weird…

"Chief Director Sir, important people forget things easily; I am General Okamura's assistant, Yamada Tarou." Yamada Tarou said.

"So it's Yamada-kun, I thought you looked familiar." Chen Yongren looked Yamada Tarou up and down, who was in civilian clothes, and asked puzzledly, "What do you want?"

"Military affairs." Yamada Tarou's words were very brief.

Chen Yongren showed an understanding expression: "Since Yamada-kun has things to do, I won't stay longer."

"Chief Director Sir, goodbye." Yamada Tarou turned and left.

Chen Yongren no longer wasted time, entered a deserted alley, and after coming out again, had completely changed his appearance, just like an ordinary civilian, attracting no attention.

Afterward, he headed to Yamada Tarou's house.

To facilitate Chen Yongren's investigation, personnel files listed their addresses, so there was no need to worry about not finding his home.

It was even better that Yamada Tarou wasn't home, saving him time.

After confirming no one was inside, Chen Yongren easily opened his house door.

But Chen Yongren did not rashly push it open; instead, he carefully inspected and found a thin strand of hair caught in the door gap, which would be hard to notice without close inspection.

This damn thing is really sneaky.

Chen Yongren collected the hair strand into his system storage, pushed open the door, glanced at the carpet beneath his feet, crouched and lifted it.

As expected.

Under the carpet lay several soft pastry crumbs; if one accidentally stepped on them, Yamada Tarou would immediately know that an outsider had entered his home.

After restoring the carpet, Chen Yongren lightly jumped in with ease.

Opening the holographic map, he soon found a hidden compartment beneath a floorboard.

He lifted it open to look.

Inside lay a small wooden box; after confirming there were no mechanisms, Chen Yongren opened it directly.

Inside were silver dollars, gold bars and other cash, plus a few luxury watches; it seems this little devil also hasn't been shy about greed.

This saves him from having to put his own money away.

To avoid accidents, Chen Yongren did not put the notebook and cash box together; looking around, there was nowhere to hide anything.

After thinking, Chen Guobin fixed his gaze on the bookshelf, seeing row after row of thick books like bricks, his eyes lit up.

He quickly walked to the bookshelf, randomly pulled out a book and opened it; the paper was very clean, with no signs of having been read.

Chen Yongren also didn't waste time, taking a dagger from his system storage and carving out a notch the size of a notebook.

He collected the cut paper into his system storage, placed the notebook in the gap, and returned the book to its place.

Then, according to memory, he returned the hair strand to its original position; Chen Yongren then quietly left, changed back into his military uniform, and went straight to the North China Military Headquarters, where he found Anda Ershisan.

"Chief Director, why are you back again?" Anda Ershisan seemed strange.

Chen Yongren said in a muffled voice: "Uncle Anda, I have an important discovery."

"Oh?" Anda Ershisan became interested: "What discovery?"

"I've found that Yamada Tarou's behavior is somewhat strange." Chen Yongren glanced left and right, lowering his voice.

"Yamada?" Anda exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right; when I left headquarters, I happened to meet him, and this guy was actually wearing civilian clothes." Chen Yongren put on a mysterious look: "I asked where he was going, but he wouldn't say more."

"Afterward I followed him and discovered he went to Jinkaidi Coffee Shop."

"I've inquired; that place is indeed an information trading spot in Northern Peace, so what is this guy doing there?"

Chen Yongren did not directly voice his own speculation, but let Anda think for himself, which would be more persuasive.

"Chief Director Sir, you're overthinking." Anda Ershisan didn't care: "Yamada-kun is a person of Commander Okamura; it's perfectly normal for him to go gather intelligence in his place."

After a pause, Anda Ershisan urgently asked: "Chief Director, could it be that you took action against Yamada?"

"Uncle, rest assured, I did nothing, just secretly followed him." Chen Yongren felt somewhat regretful.

"I followed him all the way and discovered he was secretly meeting someone on the road; after walking a stretch together, they parted ways."

"What a pity; back then I had no camera, otherwise I would surely have captured this scene!"

"Uncle, if it's just as you said, a normal information trade, why wasn't it in the coffee shop, and moreover…"

"I didn't see any financial exchange between the two."

"What?" Upon hearing Chen Yongren's words, An Da fell into deep thought.

Saying that, it seems there really is a problem.

Yamada was originally Okamura Neiji's assistant, equivalent to a secretary's role; moreover, he was present at the meeting then.

"Chief Director, are you sure you didn't see wrong?" An Da's expression was solemn.

Yamada is Okamura Neiji's man; dealing with him is like slapping Okamura Neiji's face, allowing no mistake.

"I've been watching this from the start; how could I be mistaken?" Chen Yongren said in a low voice: "Precisely because I know this is no trivial matter, I dare not report it to Okamura..."

Hearing that, An Da's heart jumped: "Chief Director, do you still suspect Commander Okamura?"

"There's an old saying in Huaxia: 'If the beam is not straight, the rafters will be crooked.' If Yamada has a problem, Okamura cannot escape blame; what if he is deliberately covering it up?" Chen Yongren did not mince words: "Uncle, now we..."

An Da felt a bit headache, then suddenly asked: "Then who was the person you previously suspected?"

"Uncle, asking these now, is it still meaningful?" Chen Yongren slightly shook his head.

"......" An Da remained silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: "First take a military police detachment to the coffee shop, no, first go stake out his house."

"Yes!" Chen Yongren nodded heavily.

With An Da 23's order, Chen Yongren also didn't hesitate, returned to the office, took the three team members who were in a dazed state, and also brought about ten military police to rush to Yamada Tarou's home.

At this moment, Yamada Tarou happened to return home.

"Chief Director Sir, you..."

Before Yamada Tarou could finish speaking, Chen Yongren vigorously waved his hand.

"Seize!"
