Genius Agent

Chapter 99 is just around the corner.

"That's right, Section Chief. It was because Taniguchi Satoshi betrayed the information that our personnel were discovered by the Special Service."

Sato lowered his head and replied softly, while Saito nodded slightly: "You did a good job, but we must report this matter. Once the traitor is found, our responsibilities will be greatly reduced."

"Thank you, Section Chief."

Sato didn't dare to look up. He quickly returned to his office, but there was no joy on his face at having caught the mole.

"Endo, bring Kato to my office."

Sato had already noticed the problem that Endo Takumi had thought of, but now he needed an inside man, regardless of whether Taniguchi Satoshi was wronged or not, he had to be the inside man.

That way he can give an explanation to his superiors.

But if the real traitor isn't eliminated, they'll never have peace again. We can first bring out Taniguchi Tomo to give the higher-ups an explanation, but the real traitor must be found out.

"Team leader."

The two arrived quickly, and noticing Sato's expression, Endo greeted them cautiously.

"What do you think of Taniguchi Satoshi's statement?"

Endo Takumi was his confidant, and Kato Ken was Endo's confidant; they were both on his side.

Kato Takeru performed well today; without him, Taniguchi Satoshi probably wouldn't have admitted to being the mole so easily.

"Team leader, what do you mean?"

Endo was cautious and did not answer directly, while Kato Ken remained silent, as it was not yet his turn to speak.

Was Taniguchi Satoshi the real mole?

Sato brought the topic to the forefront: they were the ones who interrogated the person, and the section chief only looked at the confession. Judging from the confession, Taniguchi Satoshi was the one.

But they know best what's going on.

"Team leader, didn't he admit it?"

Endo pretended to be confused. He dared not say that Taniguchi Satoshi had been tortured into confessing. If this matter were to be exposed, all three of them would be in deep trouble.

"Kato Ken, you speak."

Sato was not satisfied with Endo Takumi's answer, so he turned to Kato Ken for an answer.

"Team leader, whether he is the real mole or not is not important, but we may have other moles. No one can guarantee that the Chinese have only turned one to the side."

Kato Ken replied in a low voice, already understanding Sato's meaning.

Satoshi Taniguchi's confession was obtained under torture, and the problems are indeed obvious.

"What should we do if there are still some?"

Sato was very satisfied with Kato Ken's answer. He had never realized that Kato Ken was so smart. It was a pity that Kato Ken was seriously injured.

However, it wasn't a brain injury, so this kind of injury isn't a bad thing. At least he won't have to worry about Chinese people using women to seduce him in the future.

Ken Kato can be reused in the future.

"Then find it," Kato Ken replied immediately.

"How do I find it?"

"Team leader, it's difficult to find the mole within the organization, and if we make a big fuss about it, everyone will feel insecure. We can try to find a way to work on the enemy's side. If we find out the mole's identity from the Shanghai station of the Special Service, we can just arrest him directly."

Kato Ken answered quickly, and Sato nodded approvingly: "You're right, who can guarantee that the Chinese only turned one inside man?"

"There might still be hidden dangers within our ranks. Endo, you two take charge of this matter. Make sure to find all the people they've recruited through the Shanghai station."

Sato assigned the task to the two men. Kato Ken was right; as long as they could find a hole within the enemy's ranks, they would know who the real traitor was.

"Yes, team leader."

Endo accepted the order and left with Kato Ken.

The team leader gave him another difficult task, one that wasn't easy to complete.

"Kato, it's commendable that you considered the potential internal threats. What do you think we should do about the Shanghai station?"

Back in his office, Endo asked directly, and Kato Ken replied without hesitation, "Money, women, power—these are common human weaknesses. Those people at the Shanghai station aren't saints; they'll always find a way for us to take advantage of them."

"You're right, they're not saints, but we have another clue."

Endo said slowly that Ken Kato had only participated in the interrogation today and was not aware of the details of Tomo Taniguchi's case.

There is still one key person in this case who has not been found.

That woman named Guli, or rather, Zhu Lihua.

Taniguchi Satoshi's testimony is unreliable; the name he gave may be wrong, but this woman is definitely suspicious; she is the one who tipped him off.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have disappeared after making a phone call, abandoning their newly rented apartment.

"What clue?"

Kato Ken asked curiously, and Endo told him the whole story of the case.

Sato tasked the two of them with finding the real mole, but how could Kato Ken, who didn't understand the situation, possibly do that?

"Captain, this woman is key. We can split into two groups: one to search for her, and the other to look for weaknesses at Shanghai Station and find someone to take action against."

Kato Ken quickly replied, but secretly chuckled to himself.

The person they were looking for was right in front of them, but unfortunately they couldn't recognize him.

As for the Shanghai station, he will take it seriously. He has no worries at all if he manages to turn the inside man against him, since he has no connection with the Shanghai station anyway.

There's no way we could trace him back to him by checking through the Shanghai station.

"Okay, let's do it this way. We're short-handed right now. Kato, you've just recovered, so we'll have to rely on you from now on."

Endo nodded. The six lost team members were all his men, and since he couldn't use everyone to investigate the mole, Kato had to do it himself.

If everyone knows, the mole will also know that he is being investigated and will take precautions to interfere with their investigation.

"Captain, it's not hard work. It's good to have something to do. I've been sitting around like a moldy plant for a while now."

Kato chuckled, and Endo Takumi nodded secretly. Kato was good, but unfortunately, the injury was in the wrong place.

However, if Kato performs well and finds the traitor, he will definitely be able to become the deputy leader when Sato is promoted to team leader. He can recommend Kato Ken to succeed him as team leader.

Kato Ken would have to outperform others for his superiors to approve.

An internal notice was suddenly issued by the Shanghai Special Higher Police.

The action team member, Taniguchi Tomoyuki, was lecherous and his weakness was exploited by the Chinese to turn him against the Empire. He betrayed the Empire and provided intelligence to the Shanghai station of the Special Service, resulting in the loss of six members of their intelligence team.

The Shanghai Special Higher Police Department issued another disciplinary statement.

Opium, gambling, and women are strictly prohibited. Violators will be dealt with according to military law.

This was a painful lesson, and they must learn from it and not give the Chinese any more opportunities to take advantage of them.

As for money, in the past, anyone found to have a large amount of money of dubious origin would have been investigated, so it was not mentioned.

Who doesn't like money?

But if you dare to take money you shouldn't, you might not live to spend it.

The case of the traitor within the Shanghai Special Higher Police has, on the surface, come to an end.

As for the secret investigation, only three people knew about it. Sato was determined not to give up until he found out the real traitor.

"Yansheng, arrange a meeting with Mr. Pu tomorrow."

When they returned home that evening, Shen Mozhou instructed Chen Yansheng that the two of them had been working long hours these past few days and had finally completed the task assigned to them by Su Yuncheng.
