Spy War: I am the Living King of Hell

Chapter 324 "The Cat Substitutes for the Prince"

Just when Gao Lin was happy, Xiao Wu immediately shook his head.

"Xiao Wu, what's going on? Why did you nod first and then shake your head?" Gao Lin asked in confusion.

Hearing this, Xiao Wu smiled bitterly and said to Gao Lin, "Brother Gao, although I tracked Xiang Yuan based on the information from Silly Roe Deer and saw him meeting someone, I was discovered by the person who met Xiang Yuan."

"How could someone find out that you were following Xiang Yuan?" Gao Lin asked in surprise.

Xiao Wu was originally a hunter in the mountains and was very good at tracking prey. By chance, he met Gao Lin.

After seeing Xiao Wu's superb skills in hunting prey, Gao Lin decided to recruit him as his subordinate and let Xiao Wu gather information for him.

Xiao Wu was unwilling to be just a hunter, so he followed Gao Lin. After following Gao Lin, Xiao Wu not only received Gao Lin's personal training, but also, with Gao Lin's recommendation, learned special tracking skills at a special agent training institution opened by the Japanese.

After several years of experience, Xiao Wu's tracking skills have reached perfection. He is one of Gao Lin's most trusted subordinates. He has made great contributions to Gao Lin's ascension to the position of director and has never made any mistakes in tracking his targets.

So this time, Gao Lin specially sent Xiao Wu to track Xiang Yuan, wanting Xiao Wu to follow Xiang Yuan and see if he could find the Chinese agent who came from the interior through Xiang Yuan.

Gao Lin knew Xiao Wu's tracking skills. He didn't expect that someone could actually discover Gao Lin's tracking. This really surprised him.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that person to be so sharp. When he targeted me, I felt like I was being targeted by a hungry tiger. I'm sure he must be a master."

Hearing this, Gao Lin nodded. He believed what Xiao Wu said. If the person who came was not a master, Hua Gu Shen Yi would not let him show up.

"Tell me about that person's physical characteristics." After a little thought, Gao Lin said to Xiao Wu.

Hearing this, Xiao Wu nodded and said, "I didn't see the man's face clearly, but he was about 180cm tall, wearing a wool coat, a black fur hat, and a red scarf. Brother Gao, that's all I saw."

Hearing this, Gao Lin nodded and fell into deep thought. Judging from Xiao Wu's discovery today, the Chinese agent was most likely sent by the Military Control Commission.

Now if you want to find this person, there are two possible ways.

One way is to search the whole city based on the physical characteristics Xiaowu described, and the other way is to start with Xiang Yuan himself.

Both methods are difficult. The first method is labor-intensive and time-consuming, but as long as you look carefully, you will most likely find the person.

The second way is more risky. Xiang Yuan is not a simple person. If he is frightened, he will definitely run away. If he had not sent Xiao Wu to follow Xiang Yuan today, the person who was following would probably have been discovered by Xiang Yuan long ago.

The most important point is that even if Xiang Yuan was captured, Gao Lin was not sure that he could catch the Chinese agent. The risk was too great.

The reason why Gao Lin was able to sit in the position of the director of the Harbin Police Department is that he is a rough but meticulous person. Although he looks rough, he is very careful and considers things comprehensively. He actually prefers to use the first method to find the Chinese agent from the interior.

But he still needs to ask Hanatani Shinichi for instructions on what to do specifically, so that even if something goes wrong in the end, he will not be held responsible.

Although he is the director of the Harbin Police Department, Gao Lin knows who is in charge in Harbin now, so he is always thoughtful and sophisticated in his actions.

"Xiaowu, go back first and don't go out for the time being. I will report the situation to Colonel Hanatani."

"Brother Gao, I understand. I'll go first then."

After Xiaowu left, Gao Lin drove to the Special High Technology Department to meet Hanatani Shinichi in person.

Seeing Gao Lin coming, Hanatani Shinichi was very happy and enthusiastically invited Gao Lin into the office.

"Mr. Gao, is there any news about that Chinese agent?" Hua Gu Shenyi asked expectantly.

"Hanatani-kun, we do have some news, but something went wrong," Gao Lin said truthfully.

Hearing Gao Lin's words, Hanatani Shinichi's expression suddenly became serious, and he immediately asked, "Tell me in detail."

Upon hearing this, Gao Lin told Huagu Shenyi everything that Xiaowu reported. When Huagu Shenyi learned that Xiang Yuan had contacted a stranger, he was very excited, because Xiang Yuan had contacted that Chinese agent, which at least confirmed one thing, that the Chinese agent was sent by the Military Control Commission.

But when he heard that the person he was following was discovered, Hanatani Shinichi frowned again. He didn't expect that such a good opportunity would be discovered by someone.

Seeing that Huagu Shenyi's face was not right, Gao Lin quickly explained, "Huagu-kun, the person in charge of tracking Xiang Yuan this time is Xiaowu, you should know him."

When he heard that it was Xiaowu who was personally tracking Xiang Yuan, Hanatani Shenyi was stunned, because Xiaowu had been trained in a special agent training institution run by the Japanese, and he performed very well in tracking and stalking. Even the Japanese instructor who trained Xiaowu recommended Xiaowu to Hanatani Shenyi. If Xiaowu was not a Chinese, Hanatani Shenyi would definitely have recruited him into the Special Higher Section.

Like Xiang Yuan, he understood Xiao Wu's abilities. When he learned that it was Xiao Wu who was discovered while tracking Xiang Yuan personally, he knew that it was not a mistake on his side, but that the enemy was too powerful.

"He was able to discover Xiaowu's tracking. That Chinese agent who came from the interior is no simple person." Hanatani Shenyi exclaimed.

Hearing this, Gao Lin nodded and said, "Huagu-kun, Xiaowu said the same thing. He said that person's perception is very sharp and his eyes are very sharp. If he hadn't escaped quickly, he would have died today."

Upon hearing this, Hanatani Shinichi's heart tightened. The stronger the opponent, the greater the threat to them.

After a moment of silence, Huagu Shenyi asked, "Mr. Gao, according to your words, what should we do now?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Lin told Hanatani Shinichi the two methods he had thought of, analyzed their pros and cons, and let Hanatani Shinichi make his own choice.

After Gao Lin finished speaking, Hua Gu Shenyi thought for a while and said to Gao Lin: "Mr. Gao, the two methods you mentioned are very good, so I decided to use both methods at the same time to dig out the Chinese agent as soon as possible."

If that person's target was not the Bacteria Research Institute, Hanatani Shinichi would definitely take his time, but the Bacteria Research Institute was very important to the empire, and Hanatani Shinichi would not let the Bacteria Research Institute suffer any damage, so he could only choose to proceed with both methods at the same time and capture the person as soon as possible.

Gao Lin unconditionally followed Hanatani Shinichi's decision. Although he thought the first method was better, he had to carry out Hanatani Shinichi's orders without any doubt, otherwise he would get into trouble.

"Hanatani-kun, I understand. I'll make arrangements when I get down there. We'll launch the operation as quickly as possible and find that Chinese agent as soon as possible."

"Mr. Gao, this matter is of great importance. Please do your best. I'm leaving Huagu in your care." As he said this, Huagu Shenyi bowed to Gao Lin.

This is the attitude of the Japanese. Once they need you, they would like to worship you as a master, but if they don't need you, they will just abandon you and treat you like a worn-out shoe.

"You're too polite, Mr. Hanatani. I will do my best." After leaving the Special High Section, Gao Lin sent a group of people to conduct a city-wide search based on Yang Xuewu's physical characteristics, and he also personally led a group of people to prepare to capture Xiang Yuan.

On the other side, after returning to the Madiel Hotel, Yang Xuewu thought for a while and felt that he needed to move to another place.

If this was Shanghai, Yang Xuewu would definitely not be so cautious, because he was confident that he could handle anything that happened in Shanghai calmly.

But Harbin was different. Not only was he unfamiliar with the place, but most importantly, he did not have a safe identity or residence.

Yang Xuewu will definitely stay in Harbin for a while next. After being followed during today’s meeting, Yang Xuewu’s desire to find a safe identity and residence has become increasingly strong.

Finding a safe identity and residence may be difficult for others, but it is relatively simple for Yang Xuewu.

He only needs to find a Japanese person, preferably one who has an independent residence, rarely goes out, and does not need to work outside.

Once he found a Japanese who met the requirements, he could "replace the prince with a cat", so that even if the Japanese searched the entire Harbin, they would not be able to find any trace of him.

Just do it. Soon Yang Xuewu put his luggage into the system space and checked out at the front desk.

After checking out of the hotel, Yang Xuewu went straight to the Japanese residence in Harbin.

Yang Xuewu was fluent in Japanese and was generous, so he quickly found a candidate who met the requirements while chatting in the pub.

The Japanese man he chose was called Taro Mihashi. At this moment, Taro Mihashi was drinking at a table not far from Yang Xuewu. He was about the same height as Yang Xuewu.

According to the information Yang Xuewu had obtained, this Taro Mihashi was a Japanese ronin who usually made a living by bullying the Chinese. As long as he could get money, he would come to the pub and get drunk every day. He had few friends and was one of those "free men" who no one cared about.

This kind of "free man" is perfect for Yang Xuewu to target.

When it was night, Taro Mihashi staggered out of the pub singing a Japanese song, and Yang Xuewu also pretended to be drunk, paid the bill and left the pub.

Not long after, Yang Xuewu followed Taro Mihashi to his home. Taro Mihashi was drunk at this time, and fell into a deep sleep as soon as he arrived home.

Yang Xuewu easily ended Taro Mihashi's life while he was sleeping.

Yang Xuewu should have executed a Japanese ronin like this who made a living by oppressing the Chinese people by slow slicing, but in order not to waste time, Yang Xuewu could only give him a quick death, which could be considered as Yang Xuewu's mercy for once.

After killing Taro Mihashi, Yang Xuewu dug a hole by the river while it was dark, tied Taro Mihashi's body to stones and threw it in. It was cold in Northeast China at that time, and the hole dug by Yang Xuewu froze in less than two minutes. After dealing with Taro Mihashi's body, Yang Xuewu could officially move around in Harbin as Taro Mihashi.

No matter how clever the Japanese in Harbin were, they could not have imagined that Yang Xuewu would use a trick to replace the crown prince.

After returning to the room, Yang Xuewu immediately counted Taro Mihashi's belongings. From this moment on, he was temporarily Taro Mihashi.

In order to fit in with Sanbashi Taro's identity, Yang Xuewu also decided to go to the pub to drink every day.

……

On the other side, after returning to the station, Xiang Yuan became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it, but soon he calmed down.

He knew that getting angry would not solve the problem. There were two important things he needed to do. One was to investigate the location of the Japanese Bacteriological Research Institute, and the other was to find out the hidden agent inside.

After calming down, Xiang Yuan immediately called several of his trusted confidants and asked them to investigate the matter of the Bacteriological Research Institute. He chose to personally find out the hidden spies inside.

He will not be at peace until this hidden chess piece is eliminated.

While Xiang Yuan was making arrangements in full swing, Gao Lin was having a secret conversation with someone in a hotel.

"Director, I suspect Xiang Yuan might initiate an internal investigation this time, and there is a high chance that I will be discovered by Xiang Yuan."

This person was Gao Lin's secret agent who infiltrated the South Manchuria Station, codenamed "Silly Deer".

Gao Lin came to see Shaluozi this time in order to ask him to find out Xiang Yuan's whereabouts and take the opportunity to arrest Xiang Yuan.

Gao Lin was not surprised that Xiang Yuan initiated an internal investigation. If Xiao Wu had not been discovered, the silly roe deer could continue to hide. But now that Xiao Wu was exposed, no matter how well the silly roe deer disguised himself, he would most likely be exposed.

But Gao Lin was not panicked, because he had already decided to capture Xiang Yuan. As long as the silly roe deer could play a role again, it didn't matter even if the silly roe deer's identity was exposed.

"Silly roe deer, it doesn't matter, because I have decided to take action against Xiang Yuan. This is your last mission. As long as you determine Xiang Yuan's whereabouts and tell me his whereabouts, you can evacuate."

Although he knew that it was very risky to inquire about Xiang Yuan's whereabouts again, Silly Roe Deer had no choice but to follow Gao Lin's orders. He knew how ruthless Gao Lin was.

If he didn't do what Gao Lin said, Gao Lin would eliminate him immediately without Xiang Yuan finding him.

"Okay, I will try my best to find out Xiang Yuan's whereabouts." Silly Roe Deer agreed.

"Well, be careful."

If Gao Lin really cared about Silly Roe Deer's safety, even if he asked Silly Roe Deer to find out Xiang Yuan's whereabouts, he would leave him a way out, such as letting him evacuate on his own when he noticed the danger.

But Gao Lin didn't mention this at all at this time, which means that the safety of Silly Roe Deer is not worth mentioning compared to Xiang Yuan's whereabouts, which makes Silly Roe Deer feel a little disappointed.

He had been lurking in the South Manchuria Station for some time. During this period, Silly Roe Deer provided Gao Lin with a lot of intelligence, which enabled Gao Lin to make a lot of contributions. However, Gao Lin at this time had no sympathy for him at all.

Although his code name is "Silly Roe Deer", it does not mean that he is really a silly roe deer. If he was really stupid, Gao Lin would not have sent him to infiltrate the South Manchuria Station, and he would not have been lurking in the South Manchuria Station for so long without being exposed.

After Gao Lin left, Shaluozi's face turned pale, but then he sighed. In order to ensure that he would not rebel, his family was controlled by Gao Lin. At this time, no matter how dissatisfied he was with Gao Lin, he did not dare to act rashly.

On the other hand, Xiang Yuan was no pushover either. Through investigation, he finally identified five suspected traitors, including the silly roe deer who had just met Gao Lin.

The scope could no longer be narrowed down to five people. Xiang Yuan thought about it and decided to test them one by one. He believed that if there really was a traitor among these five people, then these five people would definitely not be indifferent to his whereabouts. He planned to use his whereabouts as bait to lure out the traitor.
