"The proletarians of the world, unite!"

This is the last and most famous sentence of the Communist Manifesto!

Mihara Kazumi wrote this sentence on the back of this photo, and the meaning is naturally different. Obviously, the group photo in the photo should be all like-minded comrades with him.

Yuzhi Imai pointed to the last man in the photo and asked, "Has the identity of another person been found?"

"No, we spent a lot of time and energy, and we couldn't confirm the identity of the last person. It seems that we can only find this person from his mouth after capturing Takasugi Insugi."

Matsunaga Ono shook his head and continued: "It should be noted that Takasugi Inki's identity is quite special. He was admitted to the East Asian Tongwen Academy when he was a teenager. After graduation, he entered the newspaper of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. During this period, he was sent to work in China many times. After the Battle of Songhu, he was sent to China again. Now he is under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We think this matter should not be disturbed too much, so we are preparing to conduct a secret arrest and send it back to the country for investigation as soon as possible. So we asked the Colonel to help us complete this task!"

When Yuzhi Imai heard this, his face changed and he said in surprise: "Is this person an intelligence officer from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"

Others don’t know about the East Asian Tongwen Academy mentioned by Matsunaga Ono, but as a veteran spy, Yushi Imai naturally knew that this was the earliest spy academy established by Japan in China.

This college was founded in the early 2000s, and the school was in Shanghai. It was started under the guise of enhancing China-Japan friendship and under the name of educational institutions. However, from the beginning to the end, it was a spy agency that Japan collected Chinese intelligence and cultivated new forces.

The members recruited are Japanese teenagers. They study Chinese, Chinese literature, Chinese history and geography in this school, and have a comprehensive understanding of politics, economy, communications, industry, products, transportation, geography and customs in various parts of China.

After graduation, half of the students in the academy stayed in China, serving Japanese invading agencies or pseudo-governments at all levels in various places, covering Northeast China, North China, Central China, and South China. Their occupations are also different, including government officials, literati scholars, military translators, newspaper reporters, etc., but they basically serve the intelligence agencies of major Japanese departments, and have backgrounds as intelligence personnel, becoming an important force among the intelligence personnel lurking in China. Many of the spies captured by Ning Zhiheng graduated from this academy.

This is naturally the case with Takasugi Inki now, which made Yushi Imai hesitate immediately.

Although the intelligence department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has a low sense of existence, and its confidentiality level and authority are not high, it is not something that can be arrested at will. If the matter is leaked and a dispute eventually causes problems, he will never be willing to bear this responsibility.

When Matsunaga Ono saw Yushi Imai's expression, he knew what the other party was thinking. He quickly persuaded: "Your Excellency Colonel, we think this is the most effective method. As long as we start to hide, a reporter in China will not attract attention. When we interrogate the real situation and confirm his identity as a red member, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will know and cannot object!"

"You are too presumptuous. Nanjing is not North China, so it's not our turn to take charge of the special high school course. Now Nanjing's work is chaired by the military department."

Yuzhi Imai's face was cold. Of course, he didn't want to take the blame. He continued: "I can't be good at this matter. I need to ask the North China headquarters. If the Director Tuhara agrees to do this, I will execute it. If I can't get the order from Director Tuhara, I can only say sorry."

The situation of the Special High School is quite special. They were just police departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs before, but later they developed rapidly in China. In the hands of Keiji Tuhara, they quickly transformed into a quasi-military and large-scale foreign intelligence department. Therefore, the Special High School’s headquarters is in North China, and the Tokyo Special High School is only a branch of its subordinates, and they have no right to force the order of Yushi Imai.

Ono Matsunaga and Anbe Lu Shan looked at each other. They had already expected the current situation before they came. After all, doing such a thing cannot be said openly, and no one will take this risk in vain.

Ono Matsunaga nodded and said, "Before we came, our headquarters had reported the situation to Section Chief Tuhara. I think you can receive an order from the headquarters in the near future."

"Then wait until I receive the headquarters order before I get the arrest!"

Yuzhi Imai's expression eased a little, but he had another idea in his mind. If Takasugi Insugi was indeed a real red element, then he had been staying in China for so long, and it is very likely that he had already contacted the red element of China, that is, the underground party. In this way, can he follow this clue to find the traces of the underground party?

While waiting for the headquarters order, I can monitor and track it. If I can gain something, wouldn't that be a good thing?

Yuzhi Imai thought about it more and more, and he looked at Matsunaga Ono and his two men, his face slowed down, and said with a smile: "Let's do this, before I get the telegram from the headquarters, I will send someone to monitor the target. If you two are worried, you can also participate in this work."

"That's great! Everything is arranged by the Colonel!" Ono Matsunaga nodded and agreed. He was even more nervous about Takasugi Inki, for fear that the other party would be out of his sight and control. It would be the best for him to monitor it at any time. If he could find something, it would naturally be the icing on the cake.

The next morning, He Siming washed up and put on a brand new white suit at Futian Hotel near Nanjing Special High School. He deliberately put a dark red handkerchief on his left chest pocket. He raised his hand and looked at his watch, calculated the time, opened the door, and listened to the movement outside.

Soon after hearing something outside, I stepped out and saw Matsunaga Ono and Lu Shan, who were next door, left the room. The two of them were still wearing ordinary casual clothes, not tall, and looked very inconspicuous.

He Siming said hello first, "Ono, how did you rest last night?"

When Matsunaga Ono saw He Siming, he quickly showed a smile. From the attitude of Yuzhi Imai to the Takeshita liaison officer yesterday, he also noticed an abnormality. The background of this contact officer was not as simple as before. He then disappeared from his cold attitude yesterday. He replied with a smile: "Takeshita, thank you for your concern, we have a good rest."

He Siming was still smiling, not paying attention to what happened yesterday, and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Ono, this is the first time you have come to Nanjing. This is the most famous ancient capital in China. Today, I made an appointment with my friend to visit various places in Nanjing. Why not go and have a look together?"

Ono Matsunaga was stunned. Seeing He Siming's enthusiasm, he couldn't help but refuse helplessly: "I'm sorry, Takeshita, Colonel Imai arranged a task for us. I'm so sorry!"

He Siming showed regret on his face, spread his hands and said, "Okay, I'm going to stay in Nanjing for a few more days anyway, and I'll have a chance in the future."

Ono Matsunaga and Anbe Lushan also agreed repeatedly, and the three of them walked out together.

As soon as the three of them walked out of the hotel gate, several eyes immediately swept over, and a voice came from the secret: "It's them, the two people next to the white suits are the target!"

At this time, Wen Hao had already driven to the Tokuda Hotel and was waiting outside the gate. When he saw He Siming going out, he quickly came up to meet him. He made an appointment today and the two of them were preparing to visit Fujiwara Tomori's mansion together.

When Matsunaga Ono and the others saw someone coming to pick He Siming up, they waved their hands and broke up and left. They did not notice that several figures followed them from afar.

Ono Matsunaga and his two men rushed to the Special High School Class first, and then Yuzhi Imai dispatched a team of personnel to them. The group came to the United News Agency and arranged them separately to start tracking and monitoring the target Takasugi Inski.

In Ning Zhiheng's residence, Wen Hao and He Siming visited. Wen Hao carefully prepared several antique treasures. Ning Zhiheng was naturally very happy and praised Wen Hao. He Siming was also speaking kindly for him. The three of them had a great conversation. Finally, Ning Zhiheng nodded and agreed to his request to seek the title of minister for him in the Nanjing government. This made Wen Hao very happy. He repeatedly expressed his sincerity and swear to be the minion of Mr. Fujiwara, and his horse's head was right!

On the morning of the next day, Yi Dong'an reported to Ning Zhiheng about the tracking of the intelligence team one day yesterday.

"Kang Xuezhi personally led the team to follow Ono Matsunaga and others. Yesterday morning and noon, they stayed near the United News Agency, rented a house near the news agency's gate and set up a surveillance point. At around 2 pm, they followed a car out of the United News Agency. They followed the Xiaguan District until the vehicle entered the Japanese military camp, and Ono and others were guarding outside.

At around five o'clock, the car left the barracks and arrived at a hotel in the east of the Castle. A middle-aged man got out of the car and drove away. Ono Matsunaga ignored the car and just continued to follow the middle-aged man. This person should be the target they were looking for.

The middle-aged man seemed to have an appointment for someone to have dinner in a restaurant. Our people dare not get too close, so we didn't see the person who was having dinner with him. They just recorded the number of the room they had eaten at that time. Later, at around 8 o'clock in the evening, the middle-aged man left the hotel, called a rickshaw, and returned to No. 53, Taiping Street, Chengzhong District. This is an independent apartment, and most of the residents around him were Japanese expatriates. The intelligence team spent a night learning that the person living in this apartment was named Takasugi Insugi, who was the chief reporter of the United News Agency. The person who ate with him at the hotel last night was a man and a woman, and they were about thirty years old. Because there was insufficient staff at the time, Kang Xuezhi did not arrange for follow-up, so the specific identity needs to be investigated."

"Takasugi Inki?"

Ning Zhiheng was a little confused. According to the situation provided by He Siming, Matsunaga Ono and his two men came to Nanjing from China to arrest the red elements. Logically speaking, their target should have been determined long ago, but they have not been arrested immediately now. It seems that they are not very sure about the identity of the target.
