Spy War: My Cheat Code is a Rat

"This was found in your underwear. Do you have anything else to say?"

After searching the tent again and finding nothing else, Matsumoto Kiyoko led the two back to Tekot.

Kiyoko Matsumoto looked at the company commander and spoke coldly. The company commander looked at the evidence and felt utterly hopeless.

He knew he was innocent, but he had no way to prove it. Even if he said he was innocent, Matsumoto Kiyoko probably wouldn't believe him.

"Stop making excuses, the evidence is conclusive, you did it."

Fu Yangshan slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and directly convicted the squad leader.

Matsumoto Kiyoko didn't say anything, leaving the follow-up matters directly to Fu Yangshan, and then turned around and walked out of the interrogation room with Lu Chen.

Kiyoko Matsumoto kept wondering why the company commander, who had fought in many important battles with the unit without making any mistakes, was now betraying them.

But all the evidence points to him, and Lu Chen plays a key role in it all...

Thinking it over, Matsumoto Kiyoko glanced at Lu Chen beside her without making a sound, but unfortunately there was no real evidence.

If we arrest him and force him to interrogate him, we probably won't get anything out of him.

"Wait until he slips up..."

Kiyoko Matsumoto realized that she had never fully trusted Lu Chen from beginning to end, and this incident made her even more wary of him.

"Lu Chen, you can rest tomorrow. You don't need to come."

Arriving at the office door, Matsumoto Kiyoko turned to Lu Chen and said.

Lu Chen was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in agreement and turned to walk towards the gate of the intelligence department.

Take a day off?

Were the Japanese Special Higher Police (THD) so humane? Did their agents even have days off?

If I can't figure it out, I'll just leave it at that and take a break. I'll have some free time to do something else.

Thinking this, Lu Chen left the intelligence section, preparing to return to the military police headquarters to see if Liu Jie had finished setting up the newly opened rice shop.

When they arrived at the military police headquarters, it was already afternoon. They walked around the headquarters but couldn't find Liu Jie.

The other members of the military police were nowhere to be seen, but seeing that it was getting late, Lu Chen didn't think much of it and assumed they had gone out on patrol, so he prepared to go home.

Anyway, Liu Jie is coming to pick me up tomorrow to go to Kajingzhou, so it's not too late to ask tomorrow.

Back home, Shen Ruoqiu didn't go out today, but instead cooked in the kitchen by herself.

Lu Chen glanced at her, ignored her, went into his room, and locked the door.

He took out all the silver dollars he currently had and counted them.

"Why are we spending money so quickly?! We need to be more careful."

It would have been better if he hadn't counted, because when he did, Lu Chen was shocked. In such a short time, he had already spent nearly 10,000 silver dollars, and now he only had about 30,000 left.

"However, we have now completely offended Zhang Rongshan. In the French Concession, it's alright; he won't dare to act recklessly. But in the Chinese-controlled area..."

Thinking about this, Lu Chen became worried again. Zhang Rongshan would definitely not let him continue his grain business.

With my current strength, I am completely unable to fight him.

"Huang Jinrong..."

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes. When Huang Jinrong was mentioned yesterday, Zhang Rongshan was very wary of him. From his words, it could be inferred that Huang Jinrong had been eyeing the business in the Chinese region for a long time.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen decided that he would go to see Huang Jinrong after dinner.

His only sources of income are his intelligence department salary and rice, so he cannot afford to lose these sources of income.

"Squeak squeak".

Lu Chen sat on the bed, intending to sit for a while before going out to eat. Just then, the mouse squeaked twice and scurried into the pocket hanging on the clothes hanger.

He stood up, frowned, took the bugging device out of the pocket, then drew the curtains and listened carefully to what was being said through the device.

"Kuroda-kun, are you really not going to reconsider?"

The first voice coming from the bugging device was that of Kiyoko Matsumoto.

"Miss Kiyoko, I'm afraid I can't help you with this."

Kuroda's tone was clearly hesitant, but in the end he firmly rejected Matsumoto Kiyoko.

Lu Chen fell into deep thought. He didn't understand what the two were talking about at all, but it was obvious that Matsumoto Kiyoko had offered Kuroda some conditions, but Kuroda didn't accept them.

"Is everything planned for tomorrow?"

This time, it was still Kiyoko Matsumoto's voice that was heard.

Upon hearing the bugging device emit sound again, Lu Chen immediately interrupted his thoughts and listened carefully.

tomorrow?

Is the reason why Kiyoko Matsumoto asked her to take the day off tomorrow?

Lu Chen immediately connected the dots and didn't dare to relax for a moment, keeping his face pressed against the bugging device.

"Everything is arranged. The sniper has been selected, and his position has been set up."

Are you sure that reporter will come?

"Yes, he's the one who spreads most of the negative news about the Japanese army internationally. He couldn't possibly miss such a good opportunity."

Kuroda's voice was very confident, while Matsumoto Kiyoko's voice was cold; both of them were very confident about tomorrow's plans.

"Okay, remember to let me know in advance when you arrive in China tomorrow."

Then the bug went silent. After a few minutes, seeing that there was no sound at all, Lu Chen put the bug back.

Sitting on the bed, Lu Chen thought about the conversation between the two of them.

The conversation revealed that two people were coming tomorrow. The first was likely an anti-Japanese activist and a journalist.

Secondly, it should be people from Japan coming to China.

Moreover, it sounds like she must be of high status, since she actually needs the mysterious young lady, Matsumoto Kiyoko, to personally greet her.

"A sniper? Are the Japanese planning to kill him tomorrow?"

Recalling what Kuroda had just said about snipers being arranged, it was clear he intended to take action against the reporter.

But what exactly happened that would attract reporters was unknown to Lu Chen; he only knew that something big was likely to happen tomorrow.

"Killing that journalist who spoke out for China, just for your own reputation?"

Lu Chen muttered to himself, then shook his head. The Japanese wouldn't make a big fuss over such a trivial matter, especially under the nose of another important figure.

"Could it be...?"

Narrowing his eyes, Lu Chen wondered if the Japanese army wanted to kill the reporter who spoke out for China and then frame the anti-Japanese elements.

In this way, they not only controlled international public opinion, but also greatly dampened the determination of the domestic masses to resist Japan.

"Despicable!"

Lu Chen cursed inwardly, thinking that only the Japanese would resort to such methods.

A big shot is coming tomorrow, and the scene will definitely be quite impressive. Lu Chen decided to wait until tomorrow to understand the specific situation before taking action.

I don't need to assassinate that important figure, but at the very least, I need to protect that reporter and prevent him from being killed by the Japanese!

dong dong dong...

"Chief, dinner's ready."

Lu Chen was deep in thought when a sudden knock on the door startled him. When he heard Shen Ruoqiu's voice, he stood up and opened the door.

Shen Ruoqiu saw him when she came back, so she called Lu Chen after the meal was ready.

"Chief, I have something to do tomorrow, and I might not be back until very late."

At the dinner table, Shen Ruoqiu stared at Lu Chen and slowly spoke.
