Meng Shaoyuan's head was as big as eight.

At least he didn't think of a perfect solution.

But at this moment, inside the Shanghai Special Agency, everything was in chaos.

The Japanese army has achieved a suppressive victory in the Shanghai battlefield. Although their claim of "annihilating China in three months" has been completely blown away, at least victory in the Shanghai battle is no longer a problem.

However, on the agent front, their performance can only be described as "poor".

He was defeated again and again, and was manipulated by the military commander into applause.

Just one Meng Shaoyuan turned the public concession upside down and turned everyone upside down.

It seemed that in front of this person, all the agents' previous knowledge became useless.

Wan Sibai was rescued, which was like another hard slap on Ri Te's face.

If something like this happens again and again, it will have a huge impact on the morale of the military.

"We cannot let our incompetence hinder the progress of the Imperial Holy War!"

This is an order issued by Japan's top brass.

Under such circumstances, Akagi Oikayuki was ordered to temporarily take over the Japanese special agency in Shanghai.

Akagi Kinyuki, whose real name is Akagi Kinzo, is a low-key man. He changed his name when he was transferred to China. The name "Akagi" means "I hope foreigners will think that I am an easy-to-approach person."

He not only speaks fluent English, but also excellent Chinese.

After arriving in Shanghai, he temporarily stayed at the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai. In fact, he was the candidate selected by Japan to be the police chief of the Shanghai Public Settlement Bureau of Industry and Commerce.

The Ministry of Industry and Industry Bureau still made the final decision in the position of police chief. Before that, Akagi Miyuki received an order to make every effort to rectify the Shanghai secret service and to reverse the passive situation of the Japanese secret service in Shanghai.

In fact, it is easy to say it, but difficult to actually implement it.

The advantage of Chiyuki Akagi is that he is low-key and does not seem to have any political opponents, but the disadvantage is that he is also low-key, which makes his prestige completely insufficient.

In Shanghai, there are all kinds of secret service agencies from the Japanese Army, Navy, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, right-wing politicians, chaebol groups, civil society organizations...

Unless there is a truly authoritative strongman, how easy is it to integrate them?

Chiyuki Akagi is more regarded as a representative figure of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' secret service.

He himself knew this, so after receiving this order, he quickly invited the heads of various secret service agencies to attend an emergency meeting.

But obviously, his face is still not big enough.

Attending the meeting were only the new head of the Japanese Army Secret Service, Yoshio Banda, the president of the "Blood Alliance", Kei Tanaka, and Kojiro Kawamoto, among others.

The Navy directly told Akagi that the war to conquer China had reached a critical moment, and their intelligence personnel were working hard and had no time to attend the meeting.

The annoyance felt in Akagi's heart cannot be described in words.

But in front of others, he must act as if nothing happened.

"Everyone, you worked hard in China." Akagi opened his mouth and showed a very humble expression: "Before, I couldn't fight side by side with you, which was my biggest regret. I hope I can get everyone's care this time.

"

"Okay, Akagi-kun." Yoshio Wanda knew Akagi personally when he was in Japan, so he gave him some respect:

"The intelligence work in Shanghai was not going well. We were ordered to look for opportunities to deal with Wan Sibai, but he still escaped. This was our negligence."

Of course, Akagi couldn't show any dissatisfaction: "In intelligence work, there will always be mistakes, but what I want to understand is, under our such tight surveillance, how did Vance escape in vain?

"

Yoshio Wanda looked at Kojiro Kawamoto.

Kawamoto Kojiro then told the whole story: "This is probably what happened... However, we found Ji Yunqing. Ji Yunqing denied that he had anything to do with this matter. Moreover, we also arrested the agent who was responsible for surveillance at the time.

When they were called there, they identified the so-called 'Mr. Qin' on the spot and found that he was not the same person they saw."

"Oh? Then why do they pretend to be Ji Yunqing's people?" Akagi asked with interest.

"Ji Yunqing is friendly with Japan." Kawamoto Kojiro immediately replied: "He is also the one we strive to win over. Therefore, the military commander should deliberately want to destroy the relationship between us and him. Of course, this method can easily be used by us.

It can be identified, so there is another possibility...the other party is just playing around there."

"What did you say?" Chiyuki Akagi suspected that he heard wrongly: "Kawamoto-kun, you said the other party was joking? With such a thorough rescue plan together, you said the other party's agents were joking?"

Kawamoto Kojiro didn't even know how to explain it.

Is it well planned?

Thinking about it afterwards, many of them actually have flaws, and it can even be said that they were improvised.

The military commander knew clearly that if he used the name "Master Qin" falsely, he would be discovered soon, but the other party still used it like this.

Why?

Because he just wants to cause trouble for you and Ji Yunqing.

In psychology, this is called "child behavior".

Adults ask children to complete something and reprimand them loudly that they must complete it. However, out of rebellious psychology, children know that they will be scolded if they don't do what the adults say, but they just do it.

In adults, "childish behavior" is also common.

But what if it happened to an agent?

There is something humiliating about this kind of behavior.

I came under the banner of Ji Yunqing. You know in your heart that it is impossible, but you have to investigate to make sure.

I checked here and there, but found nothing.

I can take advantage of this time to do other things, and there's nothing you can do to me.

Faced with Akagi's questioning, Kawamoto Kojiro sorted out his thoughts: "Let's put it this way, the other party is emboldened, and he is ready to lead us by the nose, and even lead us into his trap. In other words, even if we know Ji Yunqing now

It has nothing to do with this incident, but do we still have some doubts about him?"

A few people thought about it carefully and it seems that this is really the case.

When a person's reputation is tarnished by others, even if he provides sufficient evidence to prove his innocence, he still cannot stop the rumors.

"Kawamoto-kun, I know you studied psychology in the United States. This is probably what is called psychology, right?" Akagi asked in deep thought: "Is there such a powerful person in the military?"

"Yes, there are too many. Their commander Dai Li is an extremely dangerous person." Kawamoto Kojiro said with a wry smile:

"In addition, there is another person who is equally powerful... If I guess correctly, the entire plan to rescue Wan Sibai was planned by this person."

"who?"

"Meng Shaoyuan!"

"Meng Shaoyuan?"

"Yes, an extremely dangerous person." Speaking of this name, Kawamoto Kojiro's tone became solemn: "Many of our failures are related to this person. He is Dai Li's number one general. Even,

Can be regarded as the public enemy of Japanese agents!"

Japanese agent public enemy, Meng Shaoyuan!

This is the first time someone has proposed this term.

"Public enemy of Japanese agents?" Akagi smiled and said: "It's a bit alarmist. No matter how powerful a person is, his effect is limited. Okay, let's put this person aside for the time being. Let's imagine that Wan Sibai is rescued.

After that, will you continue to stay in Shanghai or will you move secretly?"

"Transfer!" The answer this time was Yoshio Wanda: "We have also done an emergency analysis. If Wan Sibai wants to leave Shanghai, there are only two ways, waterway and land..."

The analysis by the Japanese secret service is exactly the same as Meng Shaoyuan’s previous analysis.

And the measures they plan to take are basically not very different.

"Gentlemen, your analysis is very good." Akagi raised his voice slightly: "Although Wan Sibai was rescued, it does not mean that the matter is over, and he must not be allowed to leave Shanghai.

, he has too much information, and once it is written into a book by him, it will be a scandal to the empire. Kawamoto-kun, you are personally responsible for this!"

"Yes."

Although Kawamoto Kojiro promised, he had no confidence at all.

After all, in his opinion, the person responsible for rescuing Wan Sibai is basically certain to be Meng Shaoyuan. Faced with such an opponent, he has no guarantee of success.

What method will Meng Shaoyuan use to send Wan Sibai out?

Is it what I thought, water or land?

"Tanaka-kun."

"exist!"

Tanaka Jing, the president of the "Blood Alliance", stood up quickly.

After so many years in Shanghai, the existence of the Blood Alliance has been somewhat embarrassing.

The qualifications of this organization are very old and they have been in Shanghai for a long time, but their contribution to Japan is nothing more than some commercially insignificant intelligence.

No one has ever taken them seriously.

So this time, Tanaka Kei was the first to respond to Akagi's call.

"Tanaka-kun, the blood alliance will cooperate with Kawamoto-kun." Chiyuki Akagi quickly issued an order: "Gather all your people and closely monitor the military commander's several contact points, two adults, and two children. If they want to do anything,

It is very difficult to hide it without leaving any trace."

"Yes, Sir Akagi." Tanaka Kage's answer was very resounding: "I will personally command them."

Akagi nodded with satisfaction, and then he set his sights on Kawamoto Kojiro: "Kawamoto-kun, you just mentioned that Meng Shaoyuan, do you think there is a way to arrange a meeting for me to meet him? To be honest, I am not interested in this

People are a little curious.”

"Yes, and I think Meng Shaoyuan will definitely come." Kawamoto Kojiro agreed without even thinking: "However, I personally suggest, Mr. Akagi, that you don't bring many agents with you in an attempt to arrest him."

"Why?"
