Chapter 296: Japanese Spy
After Xiang Chu handed over the cultural relics, he immediately chartered a boat with his elite special forces team to cross the river overnight.
This trip, in addition to some items purchased in Peiping, also included a large amount of money looted from the Baoniu Mountain Stronghold, as well as a large amount of weapons and ammunition seized from Japanese spies and bandits. The entire ship was filled with items, and they had to find another place to store them.
Xiang Chu asked, "Old Liu! Warehouse No. 19 at Xiaguan Wharf has not been sold yet, right?"
Liu Zhengxiong smiled bitterly and said, "Section Chief! No one has bought this warehouse, so it's a waste of money."
"It didn't sell well! Isn't this just a good place to store things temporarily?"
Xiang Chu smiled and specifically instructed the boatman to dock the boat next to Warehouse No. 19 at Xiaguan Wharf.
Everyone went ashore and quickly moved the items into Warehouse No. 19.
Xiang Chu distributed some of the money looted from the mountain stronghold to the elite special forces members, and sent several trusted men to rush to the homes of his fallen comrades overnight with the compensation.
He also gave holidays to those who lived near Nanjing and sent Li Tong and others to guard the warehouse before returning to Villa No. 9 Yihe Road.
At about ten o'clock in the evening, he walked into the house carrying a suitcase.
Ning Caiwei stood at the door waiting for him to come back.
She threw herself into his arms, unable to hold back her tears:
"Honey! You're finally home."
"Don't cry! You've become thinner because of crying."
Xiang Chu wiped the tears from her face.
"Get lost! I miss you every day."
Ning Caiwei burst into laughter and punched him.
"Of course! I know you're good."
Xiang Chu hugged her tightly, unwilling to let go for a long time.
Peking, the intelligence department of the Japanese garrison headquarters.
Doihara Kan'ei was talking with his close friend Sano Nakayoshi.
Sano Nakayoshi said regretfully: "Doihara-kun! I am so sorry. I didn't expect that the Chinese bandits in Baoniugou were so unworthy of being used."
Doihara Xian'er smiled bitterly and said, "Sano-kun! If Xiang Chu can be eliminated by a group of bandits, wouldn't it make you and me seem incompetent?"
"Too!"
Sanonakayoshi nodded.
Doihara Xian'er took out a photo and handed it to him, whispering:
"Mr. Sano! Do you think this Chinese soldier can kill Xiang Chu?"
Sano Nakayoshi took the photo, looked at the description on the back, and exclaimed:
"Doihara-kun! You actually recruited Mao Yong, the nephew of Mao Feng, the deputy director of the Chinese Military Police Department, as your accomplice. It would be too easy for him to kill Xiang Chu."
Doihara Ken'er waved his hand and said, "Sano-kun! This Mao Yong is no longer the same Mao Yong. When he was studying abroad in the Empire, he was replaced by my student and nephew, senior agent Doihara Tomohito. Haha!"
"So it was that kid Zhiren?!"
Sano Nakayoshi was stunned. After a while, he said worriedly,
"But, you put such a carefully trained imperial spy and nephew next to Mao Yong's uncle. Aren't you afraid of being recognized?"
Doihara Xian'er said coldly, "This Mao Yong family is not from the same city as Mao Feng, and they have only met a few times. Zhiren not only looks very similar to Mao Yong, but he is also familiar with everything about Mao Yong."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly said viciously: "Of course! If Xiang Chu hadn't pushed me to this point, I would never have sent out Zhiren as my trump card. Humph!"
"Got it! Mission Impossible plan."
Sanonakayoshi nodded heavily.
He knew that Doihara Kan'ei had been reprimanded and demoted by the headquarters again. If he did not make some achievements, he would have to retire from the military and return to his hometown to make a living by fishing.
After the Westernization Movement, there was a wave of Chinese people studying abroad.
The cost of traveling to Europe and the United States is too expensive and the journey is too long.
Those who were of average financial status and did not want to travel too far would choose the nearby Fuso Kingdom.
Compared with Ning Buyi, Mao Yong was much more miserable.
Not only was he killed by Japanese agents, but they also took over his identity and committed crimes.
In the middle of the night, Xiang Chu and Ning Caiwei were both awakened by the sound of radio signals.
"Brother Chu! I'm receiving calls."
Ning Caiwei got up a second before him and sat in front of the radio to transcribing.
She translated the message and whispered, "Phoenix! Mao Yong sneaked into my hometown several times to kill comrades and committed crimes. He has now been transferred back to your office. I hope you will find an opportunity to eliminate him."
After she finished speaking, she lit the telegram paper and threw it into the trash can, wondering:
"Is it because of Mao Feng's relationship that Mao Yong was able to join your military police department?"
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "I don't know! I'll find out when I go to work today."
The next day after work, he walked into Dainong's office with an ancient inkstone and an ancient painting scroll, and said happily, "Director! I'm back."
Dainong immediately stood up and said frankly:
"You kid! I thought you wouldn't come back."
"Thanks to Virgo, your subordinates can always turn misfortune into fortune."
Xiang Chu smiled, put the inkstone and the painting on his desk, and introduced them to him.
"Chuzu! I stole this from Iizuka Asamune's house especially for you."
"real?!"
Dai Nong was extremely surprised, and he quickly picked it up to admire it. He immediately couldn't let it go and praised it,
"Yes! It's really good. Very good."
Xiang Chu handed in the report while the iron was hot, and said with a smile: "Director! This is my report on this trip. Can you promote Liu Zhengxiong to deputy chief of the Special Operations Section?"
Dai Nong put down the inkstone and said hurriedly, "No! Deputy Director Mao's nephew Mao Yong has been arranged to be your deputy."
"Mao Yong is Deputy Director Mao's nephew?!"
Xiang Chu exclaimed, feeling that it would be crazy to kill this man Mao Feng.
Moreover, he couldn't get over the hurdle of killing his partner for the time being.
Dai Nong asked in confusion: "Boy! Is this worth being surprised?"
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Director! The Special Operations Division carries out life-threatening missions. If Mao Yong dies for his country, I'm really worried that I won't be able to explain to Deputy Director Mao."
Dai Nong said angrily, "Deputy Director Mao didn't say anything, why are you worrying about it?"
Xiang Chu didn't want to compromise, and said with a smile: "Director! Can Mao Yong be transferred to the Operations Department?"
Dai Nong said angrily: "Lei Tie, deputy chief of the Operations Section, is the younger brother of Lei Gang, chief of the Intelligence Section."
"Lei Gang is now the head of our intelligence department?"
Xiang Chu exclaimed, paused, and said loudly,
"It's not against the rules for two brothers to be together."
Dai Nong scolded, "Keep your voice down! It's the 'Military Control Commission' now. We are the Second Division, and Director Chen has the final say."
Xiang Chu still shouted: "Why! The Military Intelligence Department is being manipulated by him like this. You are so capable, but you are being squeezed like this. It's really aggrieved."
Dai Nong did not expect Xiang Chu to support him so much, and he had a strong desire to win him over as his confidant. He smiled and said:
"Xiao Xiang! I also think that Mao Yong is not suitable for the Special Operations Department."
Xiang Chu said excitedly: "Yes! Mao Yong is indeed not suitable."
At this time, Mao Feng walked in.
He had obviously heard the conversation between Xiang Chu and Dai Nong, and said with a smile:
"Chief Xiang! You don't have to worry. Mao Yong is a hero from the northwest front. He was promoted to captain and company commander after he sniped and killed a battalion commander and two company commanders, as well as several Red Party soldiers. Moreover, he is very willing to serve under you."
"is it?"
Xiang Chu was suddenly speechless.
He hated Mao Yong so much in his heart. Since Mao Yong came here to seek death, he might as well overcome the psychological barrier and give him this chance.
Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Since Director Mao said so, it would be unreasonable for me to be hesitant any longer."
"it is good!"
Mao Feng and Dainong cheered in unison.
Xiang Chu thought to himself: "What good is this?! He has to send the villain Mao Yong to me to be killed. Alas!"
Mao Feng suddenly laughed and said, "Chief Xiang! I heard that you wiped out a mountain stronghold after entering Shandong?"
As soon as Xiang Chu heard it, he knew that this guy was also thinking about his money, and in front of Dai Nong, it was obvious that he had bad intentions and was eager to step him down so that his nephew could take his place.
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "It was just a piece of cake, but these bandits were really cunning. When I reached the top of the mountain, they packed up and left. I got nothing, and several of my brothers were injured. I was so angry that I burned down the mountain stronghold."
Mao Feng said with regret: "What a pity! It is said that the village is very rich."
Xiang Chu sighed and said, "Alas! I almost lost my life on this trip. No matter how fat he is, I am not interested. Sir! I will take my leave."
After saying this, he walked out of the office feeling very disappointed.
He felt that Mao Feng was even more cold-blooded than Dainong.
He walked down the stairs to the third floor and looked awkwardly towards the archives room as he passed the corridor on the second floor.
A short, unprepossessing captain was leaning against the door of the archive room, smoking, his eyes looking into the room.
His left foot was unnaturally hooked around his right calf, which looked quite strange. This posture is rarely done by Chinese people.
"Alas?!"
Xiang Chu's heart trembled, and he thought to himself,
"There's something wrong with this guy!"
