Chapter 74 Invitation to Join
Chapter 74 Invitation to Join
The Red Party was in a difficult situation; the Secret Service was not their biggest enemy and wouldn't be watching them from the sidelines.
Moreover, he had experienced the Red Party's vigilance before, which was mostly due to fear of personal safety being threatened. This was completely different from the vigilance he felt at the intersection, which was a feeling of complete distrust of everyone around them.
Who would suspect everyone around them?
Su Yuncheng had a rough idea of their identities. It didn't matter if he was wrong; he wouldn't say anything now. He could just find an opportunity to continue sensing to confirm.
If he really is Japanese, the Special Service would be his best helper.
"You're investigating a case?"
The magistrate asked in surprise, having understood what Su Yuncheng meant.
"That's right, I'll approach this case the way I came in, and my identity will remain confidential. However, I have limited time, so I'll do my best to help you. If divination is truly necessary, I'll find a suitable method to do it then."
Su Yuncheng nodded; he sensed the other party's distrust.
The director didn't really believe him. The intelligence section of the Special Service Department was full of professional agents with strong capabilities. They couldn't find anyone even after ten days. How could Su Yuncheng find him?
However, Su Yuncheng's last words gave him hope: if Su Yuncheng had another way to calculate it, that would be fine too.
His goal is to find the person, and he'll do whatever it takes to do so.
"Okay, I will make sure Qu Ning fully cooperates with you."
The section chief immediately nodded, while Secretary Qi explained from the side, "Qu Ning is the head of our intelligence section, and she's quite capable."
"Mr. Su, since you're not currently with our Special Service Department, how about I invite you to join us? Don't worry, we'll definitely give you a suitable identity."
Shen Mozhou's biggest fear came true: the section chief stole his business.
"It's not the right time right now, but we can cooperate first, and I'll help you if needed."
Su Yuncheng shook his head. If he joined, he would be subject to the control of this Boss Dai. Cooperation was acceptable.
"How can we cooperate to help us?" After hesitating for a moment, the director asked.
"Just set up a separate department for me and assign two people to assist me."
Su Yuncheng replied that this was not a spur-of-the-moment decision; he had thought about this issue before coming.
The Special Service has made contributions to the fight against Japan. If conditions permit, we can help them more and cooperate more, provided that our own safety is not threatened.
"Set up a separate department?"
The director fell into deep thought. Secretary Qi knew him best and understood that he still wanted to recruit Su Yuncheng.
"Mr. Su, how about this? You can register your file with us, and then we can cooperate. This way, it will be convenient for whatever we do in the future."
The section chief's eyes lit up. Secretary Qi's suggestion was excellent. Once the file was uploaded, Su Yuncheng would be one of their special agents.
"Forget about the file. I'm working for Tomoo Muto now, and my identity would be a huge threat to me if it were exposed. We can talk about it if needed in the future."
Su Yuncheng shook his head; he could understand Secretary Qi's little scheme without even sensing her emotions.
Trying to use this trick to keep yourself tied down? No way.
Give them some hope first, so they won't keep bothering us. We'll deal with the rest later.
"Alright, let's leave it at that for now, Mr. Su. How about I set up a Special Operations Section and appoint Shen Mozhou as its head?"
The director nodded. The Special Operations Section was created specifically for Su Yuncheng, mainly to establish communication between them.
Shen Mozhou had been in charge of this job before, so he was very suitable.
"Okay, let's do it this way."
Su Yuncheng agreed. He didn't want more people to know his identity, and since Shen Mozhou already knew, it was indeed appropriate.
"Okay, from now on I'll make him obey your orders."
Seeing that Su Yuncheng agreed, the section chief was quite satisfied. Although he had not achieved his initial goal, he had at least managed to get Su Yuncheng to work for them.
After establishing a good relationship, I can ask Su Yuncheng for more help in the future.
Shen Mozhou was unaware that he had been promoted to section chief, and that it was a section with only two people: himself and Chen Yansheng.
This department was specifically for Su Yuncheng's benefit, and the students he wanted to take on became his superiors.
In fact, Su Yuncheng had not joined the Special Service Department and could not be considered Shen Mozhou's superior, but it was a fact that Shen Mozhou had to obey his orders.
"I'm short on time, let's get the case settled as soon as possible."
Su Yuncheng started sticking on his beard. Not only that, he also wore a mask, making him look unusually mysterious.
"Qi Wu, take Mr. Su to the intelligence department."
"Don't call me Mr. Su anymore. I have a radio station. You can contact me directly via radio in the future. My code name is Dandelion."
Su Yuncheng casually gave himself a code name, using it to maintain secrecy about his identity.
"Dandelion? Okay, Qi Wu, take Dandelion to the intelligence department."
The section chief paused for a moment, but reacted quickly and immediately changed his form of address.
"Yes, Chief."
Secretary Qi lowered his head and led Su Yuncheng to the intelligence department.
"Secretary Qi, what brings you here?"
Qu Ning was in his office. He hadn't been able to find the person by the deadline last time, but the case hadn't stopped and was still ongoing.
But he had no other useful clues. He had searched everywhere he could and was at his wit's end.
Upon seeing Secretary Qi enter his office, Qu Ning immediately stood up. He was stunned to notice that there was another person following behind Secretary Qi.
"Section Chief Qu, this is Mr. Dandelion. He's here to help you find the Japanese spy who was hiding in the area. Please tell him the details of the case."
Secretary Qi chuckled and said that he was always like this, seemingly harmless, but those who knew him knew how terrifying he could be.
"Hello, Mr. Dandelion..."
Qu Ning was even more surprised. The director had asked someone to help them solve the case?
What the heck is a dandelion?
Secretary Qi arrived with his men, but they didn't leave. Qu Ning could only explain the details of the case in her office and share the results of her investigation over the past period.
Finally, they couldn't help but complain that they had really tried their best, but the Japanese spy was not in Nanjing at all. Morita didn't even know where he was; he just thought that the spy had stayed in Nanjing.
"There's a possibility that the sixth man isn't in Nanjing, but it's very low. Section Chief Qu, take me to see Morita."
Su Yuncheng didn't say much, Qu Ning looked at Secretary Qi, and Secretary Qi nodded.
The three of them went to the backyard of the Special Service Department. Morita was not locked up in the dungeon.
He has surrendered, is willing to cooperate, and is behaving very docilely. He is currently under house arrest.
Aside from not being able to go out, his living conditions were quite good; he had no shortage of food, drink, or other necessities.
"Morita, tell me your entire journey to Nanjing in detail, including the time, whether you were together, what happened on the way, and what you did after arriving in Nanjing. Tell me everything."
Upon seeing Morita, Su Yuncheng didn't waste any words. He deliberately lowered his voice and asked, his voice slightly hoarse, magnetic, and very pleasant to hear.
"Didn't I already say that?"
Morita was a little surprised and looked at Qu Ning and Secretary Qi. He knew Qu Ning and Secretary Qi and knew that they were both important figures in the Special Service Department.
"Just say it, stop talking nonsense."
Qu Ning shouted, "We have indeed asked these questions. Since the person the Director has brought wants to ask, let him ask."
Qu Ning also wanted to see what new things this mysterious dandelion could glean.
