Genius Agent

Chapter 15 Absolutely intolerable

The tram ran over Kobayashi's body and slowly came to a stop ahead.

The French driver got out of the car cursing and swearing, completely unaware that he had hit someone, and didn't even check on Xiaolin's condition.

He mistook Xiaolin for a Chinese person, and in his eyes, killing a Chinese person was no different from killing a pig or a dog.

【beep beep beep】

The police officers came running over, blowing their whistles. This was the most bustling area of ​​the French Concession, and there were many police officers on duty all around.

The police officers moved with practiced ease, immediately dispersing the crowd upon arrival. One officer squatted down, then stood up shortly afterward, shaking his head behind him.

The meaning is clear: the person is dying.

"Captain Wu, I'm busy."

Su Yuncheng walked over and greeted the Chinese police officer in charge.

"Editor-in-Chief Su, you're here."

Upon seeing Su Yuncheng, Captain Wu's eyes lit up slightly, and he responded with a smile.

It's a good thing that newspaper people are involved. The tram accident has nothing to do with them, but the newspaper people will give them benefits and buy news from them.

"Let's have some tea, brothers."

Sure enough, Su Yuncheng took the initiative to shake hands with him and slipped him three silver dollars.

Captain Wu quickly rolled up the silver dollar into his sleeve and replied with a smile, "Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Su. What do you want to know? I'll find out for you right away."

"With so many pedestrians passing by, why didn't the tram slow down? Did it honk its horn to warn the pedestrians? Why didn't it check on the injured person after getting off the tram?"

Su Yuncheng didn't waste any words; he had paid for these things, so he asked the questions as usual.

"Editor-in-Chief Su, you know what's going on. There are some things I can't say carelessly."

Captain Wu chuckled and shook his head. The answers to these questions were obvious. If Su Yuncheng had only asked these questions, he would have easily earned three silver dollars this time.

"I need to know the identity of the person who was hit and what the follow-up procedures will be. Also, I want to take photos."

"no problem."

Captain Wu readily agreed, and Huang Chuanming arrived with his men in the distance.

The newspaper office wasn't far from here, so they arrived quickly.

"Chuanming, go take photos of the victims right away. Xiao Hu, go interview the bystanders and find out how the accident happened. Xiao Wang, go interview the tram driver and passengers."

Su Yuncheng made quick arrangements; in fact, of all the arrangements, the identity of the person hit by the car was the most important.

After verifying his identity, Su Yuncheng could report to Muto Tomohiro.

"Captain, something's not right. He's not Chinese."

The police officers nearby had already searched Kobayashi Fumihiko and found an identification card on him. Without the card, he could not cross the boundary checkpoint of the concession.

"Who is it?"

Su Yuncheng immediately asked, while the police officer holding his badge looked at Captain Wu.

Having just received the bribe and promised Su Yuncheng, Captain Wu immediately nodded: "Let Editor-in-Chief Su take a look."

Su Yuncheng took the document and carefully examined the photo and name on it.

The photo confirms that he is the Japanese agent who previously impersonated a shoeshine vendor. His name is Fumihiko Kobayashi, and he belongs to the Shanghai Special Higher Police. This is his work ID.

"Thank you, Captain Wu. Could we take a picture of this?"

Su Yuncheng raised his badge and looked at Captain Wu.

"Editor-in-Chief Su, you're putting us in a difficult position."

Captain Wu shook his head with a smile. Su Yuncheng didn't waste any words and took out two more silver dollars.

"Hurry up."

Captain Wu nodded in satisfaction. Five silver dollars. We can have an extra meal and some drinks tonight.

"Kawaaki, come here."

Su Yuncheng waved, and Huang Chuanming, who had just taken a few photos of the corpse, came to Su Yuncheng's side and immediately took a photo of the ID card.

He paused for a moment when the photo was taken. Was it someone from the Special Higher Police?

How did he end up here, killed by a tram?

Huang Chuanming didn't have time to think about anything else. After taking photos of his ID, he went to take photos of the tram.

Xiao Hu and Xiao Wang were holding pens and notebooks, constantly asking questions and taking notes. Their newspaper was small, and it was rare for them to get first-hand news.

"Let's go back."

More and more people arrived, including more police officers. Seeing the body being taken away, Su Yuncheng waved and led Huang Chuanming and the other two away.

"Xiao Wang, go and develop the photos. Xiao Hu, immediately organize the interview transcript and submit it for tomorrow."

News of a tram hitting and killing someone may attract a lot of attention, but it's not enough to warrant a special report.

This news won't be published until tomorrow, but they were the first to arrive at the scene, especially since they took photos of the body, something other newspapers didn't.

This photograph alone is worth far more than five silver dollars.

"Yes, editor-in-chief."

This was firsthand news, and Xiao Wang and Xiao Hu were very happy, immediately getting to work.

Su Yuncheng then led Huang Chuanming into the office.

"Editor-in-chief, how come you're from the Special Higher Police?"

There were only the two of them in the office. Huang Chuanming immediately asked, his brows furrowed.

Just two days ago, they discovered that a Special Higher Police (SPD) agent had committed murder in the street, and today, another SPD agent was hit and killed not far from them.

The key point is that Su Yuncheng was there at the time, which clearly indicates a connection.

"They might be after me."

Su Yuncheng snorted coldly. He already knew the other party's identity. Obtaining the ID was just to let Muto Tomohiro know about it.

He has received professional training and is a true secret agent.

They investigated the Special Higher Police, and now Special Higher Police personnel are around him. If even Huang Chuanming can suspect something, and he can't guess it, he might as well find a block of tofu and kill himself.

"Is it because of you?"

Su Yuncheng could sense that Huang Chuanming's surprise was tinged with worry.

Moreover, it was his own worry. Fortunately, it wasn't for nothing that he had spoiled this kid; he had gone to great lengths to help him eliminate the hidden dangers.

"Send this telegram to the boss immediately."

Su Yuncheng nodded, wrote a long telegram, and Huang Chuanming immediately left with the telegram.

Not long after, Tomoo Muto’s residence in Tokyo received this telegram from Shanghai.

There was a lot of information. Su Yuncheng told Muto Tomohiro that he went to the Municipal Council to meet Delon today, and a tram accident happened behind him. Special Higher Police agent Kobayashi Fumihiko died in the accident.

They had just investigated the Special Higher Police, and now that Special Higher Police personnel were around him, Su Yuncheng suspected that the Special Higher Police were following and monitoring him.

"Is the Special Higher Police monitoring Yun Cheng?"

Muto Tomohiro was very surprised. He read the telegram again and found that Su Yuncheng only had suspicions and no conclusive evidence.

However, Su Yuncheng revealed his guess: it was very likely that he was being watched by the Special Higher Police because he was present when they attempted to assassinate Xie Hanzhang.

Finally, Su Yuncheng added fuel to the fire, suggesting that he should remind Cang Jie to be careful.

Su Yuncheng was not the only one present; Horiuchi Sōsuke was also there.

Horiuchi Sousuke is Muto Tomoo's brother-in-law, and Muto Tomoo's financial resources mostly come from his wife's family.

Targeting Horiuchi Sousuke is tantamount to taking over Muto Tomoo's money.

Muto Tomoo would never tolerate this.

"Damn it, they have some nerve."

As expected, after reading the telegram, Muto Tomoo angrily slammed it on the table.

He only returned to China temporarily and was not dismissed from his post.

Do you really think that just because he doesn't have real power now, you can bully him at will?

There's an old Chinese saying that goes, "If this can be tolerated, then this cannot be tolerated."

"Someone, prepare the car."

Muto Tomohiro stood up. The Special Higher Police had to give him an explanation for what had happened.
