Spy War: I am the Living King of Hell

Chapter 366 Using Myself as Bait

After the gunshots, the scene fell into chaos. Of course, there were Japanese military police on duty in the club, but they were carrying long guns. By the time they reacted and loaded the bullets, Yang Xuewu had already ridden away on his bicycle.

Seeing Yang Xuewu fleeing, the Japanese colonel who had just accompanied Inu Yangnan shouted angrily: "Chase him!"

Upon hearing this, several Japanese military police on duty quickly chased after Yang Xuewu. After they left, the Japanese colonel hugged Inukai's body and cried softly, looking very sad.

Soon, a lot of people gathered at the entrance of the club, all of them were Japanese officers who had not had time to leave.

Seeing that Inukai was shot several times and was almost dead, these people all looked unhappy.

Not to mention Inukai's background, the fact that Inukai died while attending a dance with them means that none of them can escape responsibility.

What made them most upset was that they watched Inukaio being killed and the murderer got away.

On the other hand, although Yang Xuewu's action was a bit risky, killing Inuyango made him feel that it was worth it.

Along the way, Yang Xuewu pedaled his bicycle very fast. When he realized that no one was following him, Yang Xuewu put away his bicycle and left Hongkou on foot.

After Yang Xuewu left, various departments in Japan received the news and came to the club entrance one after another. Inukai Osamu was very honored, so he had a lieutenant general and two major generals come.

When he learned that Inukai O was assassinated by someone, the lieutenant general angrily slapped all the Japanese officers participating in the dance.

Among those who arrived, only Jiro Matsumoto looked thoughtful, because he had already guessed who killed Inukai O.

During this period of time, Inuyangnan had been working with him to deal with Yang Xuewu. Now the action that killed Inuyangnan seemed to be done by Yang Xuewu. He guessed that this might be Yang Xuewu's revenge on Inuyangnan.

Thinking of this, Jiro Matsumoto suddenly felt a little uneasy. If Inukai O was really killed by Yang Xuewu, would he be the next one?
The more Jiro Matsumoto thought about it, the more possible it seemed. Although the trap set for Yang Xuewu was an action strongly advocated by Inukai O, he participated in the whole process.

Since Yang Xuewu has already taken action against Inuyango, will he let him go?
Jiro Matsumoto didn't think so. As an agent who had been active in China many years ago, Jiro Matsumoto was very familiar with Chinese culture and knew that they liked to wipe out the roots. He felt that if Inukai O was killed by Yang Xu, then Yang Xuewu would definitely wipe him out.

At this moment, Jiro Matsumoto was suddenly slapped in the face, which made him stunned.

When he came to his senses, Jiro Matsumoto saw Major General Ito looking at him angrily.

"Matsumoto, what are you thinking about? Why don't you answer my questions?"

Hearing this, Matsumoto Jiro felt a little aggrieved. He was just wondering if Yang Xuewu would attack him, so he didn't hear Major General Ito's question. Major General Ito could have pushed him to get back to his senses, so why did he hit him? Isn't this just bad luck?

However, Jiro Matsumoto did not dare to complain to Major General Ito. Even if he was beaten in vain, he had to apologize to Major General Ito first.

"Your Excellency Major General Ito, I just suddenly thought of something and didn't hear your question. Please forgive me."

Seeing Jiro Matsumoto's good attitude, Major General Ito's expression immediately looked much better.

Then he asked, "Matsumoto, what were you thinking about just now?"

"Major General Ito, I was just wondering who attacked Inukai-kun."

"Oh, have you thought of it?" "To be honest with you, Major General Ito, I did think of someone."

"Who?" Major General Ito was shocked when he heard this. He just asked casually, but he didn't expect that Jiro Matsumoto actually guessed who the murderer was.

"Major General Ito, do you know a Chinese agent named Yang Xuewu?"

Upon hearing this, Major General Ito shook his head. He was the chief military officer, so how could he know a small agent?

Afterwards, Jiro Matsumoto briefly introduced Yang Xuewu's deeds to Major General Ito, and Major General Ito was more shocked as he listened.

When Matsumoto Jiro finished speaking, Major General Ito flew into a rage and shouted at Matsumoto Jiro: "Such a dangerous person, what do you do in the Special High Section? Why haven't you gotten rid of him yet?"

"Major General Ito, we have thought of many ways, but we are helpless against Yang Xuewu. Not long ago, Inukai-kun and I jointly formulated a plan to deal with Yang Xuewu, but unfortunately, Yang Xuewu escaped again."

"So I think Inukai-kun's death was Yang Xuewu's revenge, and I also have a guess that Yang Xuewu might take action against me soon."

The reason why Jiro Matsumoto told Major General Ito about Yang Xuewu's affairs was that he wanted to use the power of the army to protect him, otherwise he felt that he would be in great danger.

After listening to Jiro Matsumoto's story, Major General Ito's face became gloomy and he left angrily. He quickly told Lieutenant General Ishii who came with him about the matter. Not long after, Lieutenant General Ishii personally met with Jiro Matsumoto.

"Matsumoto, Ito-kun has already told me your guess. This Yang Xuewu is a serious threat to the empire. Do you have any way to deal with him?"

Hearing this, Jiro Matsumoto thought for a moment and said, "Your Excellency Lieutenant General Ishii, I do have an idea."

"What's your idea? Tell me quickly."

"Your Excellency Lieutenant General Ishii, based on my understanding of Yang Xuewu, he will soon attack me, so I want to use myself as bait to lure Yang Xuewu into the trap. As long as I can get rid of this scourge of Yang Xuewu for the empire, my safety is not worth mentioning."

Jiro Matsumoto was a smart man. He knew that if no one protected him, he might not be able to escape Yang Xuewu's ghostly assassination with just the men of the Special High Police, so he wanted to rely on the power of the army.

He had only one goal, which was to protect himself, but in front of Lieutenant General Ishii and Major General Ito, Jiro Matsumoto had to show his loyalty to the empire. He felt that only in this way would the two of them send out military forces to protect him.

It has to be said that Jiro Matsumoto's performance was very successful. After hearing Jiro Matsumoto's "sincere words", Lieutenant General Ishii and Major General Ito praised Jiro Matsumoto's loyalty.

This also made them determined to protect Jiro Matsumoto, and at the same time set a trap with Jiro Matsumoto, waiting for Yang Xuewu to fall into it.

Hearing that the two agreed to his plan, Jiro Matsumoto was delighted. He felt that he was safe this time, and if he was lucky, he might be able to get rid of Yang Xuewu.

Just when Jiro Matsumoto was feeling happy, Yang Xuewu had already returned safely to the Peace Hotel to sleep.

In fact, Yang Xuewu also guessed that Jiro Matsumoto might have guessed that Inukai O was killed by him. Thinking that Jiro Matsumoto must have been prepared, Yang Xuewu was not in a hurry to take action against Jiro Matsumoto.

Although Inukai O, the head of the Ume Agency, has been killed, the Ume Agency still exists. This is something Yang Xuewu does not want to see, so his next goal is actually to destroy the Ume Agency, rather than targeting Matsumoto Jiro.
