Spy War: My Cheat Code is a Rat

For the past few days, Matsumoto Kiyoko has not come to see Lu Chen, while Liu Jie has been leading the military police to systematically eliminate the surrounding small forces.

boom! !

That day, Lu Chen was fast asleep in his office when the office door was suddenly kicked open from the outside.

Liu Jie was panting, holding a newspaper he had just bought from the newspaper boy.

"Brother Chen, look!"

Anyone could hear the suppressed anger in Liu Jie's words.

"What's wrong? Why are you making such a fuss?"

Lu Chen yawned and calmly reached out to pick up the newspaper on the table.

He glanced at it once, and his body straightened instantly. In that instant, he felt as if his breath had stopped.

At the very top of the newspaper were a few bold, large black characters. These few words made Lu Chen's breathing become extremely heavy.

The Nanjing Massacre...

Newspapers reported on the atrocities committed by the Japanese army in Nanjing recently, as well as the horrific killing contest.

"Brother Chen, what do we do next?"

Liu Jie clenched his fists, unable to bear looking at the contents of the newspaper. Suppressing his anger, he asked Lu Chen and the others what they should do next.

"call."

Lu Chen exhaled, only now remembering to breathe. He rubbed his furrowed brows, looked at Liu Jie's bloodshot face, and slowly uttered a sentence.

"Xiao Jie, do you think you can collect more photos like this? You do this by yourself, and don't let anyone know."

Lu Chen remembered that even in later generations, so long after the War of Resistance against Japan, there weren't many of these photos bearing the marks of crime; most of them were donated by foreign friends.

"That reporter..."

After Liu Jie agreed, he left the office. Lu Chen lay back in his chair, thinking about the foreign reporter.

Lu Chen could give him some so that he could condemn the Japanese army's actions internationally, and then keep some to hand over to the country later.

It's all his fault; he wasn't careful enough and actually forgot about that.

"Rat One, take a portion of the rat swarm to investigate. I need photos of everything related to this matter. Bring them back to me. And call Rat Three and Rat Four back."

This matter was somewhat complicated for the rats, and Lu Chen was not comfortable entrusting it to other rats. He felt a little more at ease letting Rat One handle it.

"Squeak squeak".

The mouse stood up, squeaked twice, and then disappeared.

The situation in Nanjing made Lu Chen feel even more urgent. He couldn't wait any longer and had to quickly increase his importance in Matsumoto Kiyoko's heart.

With this thought in mind, Lu Chen got up and left the office, heading towards the Japanese concession.

The distance between the Chinese military police station and the Japanese concession was not too far; it was only a half-hour walk.

Lu Chen thought of someone he had forgotten for a long time, Sato Yosho.

As the head of the Special Intelligence Section, Sato Yosho was someone Lu Chen had barely seen since Lu Chen joined the section, and Lu Chen didn't know if Sato Yosho had a mission or what.

Regardless, Lu Chen has made up his mind. He is now going to drag Sato Yoshinori down with him and remove him from his position.

All of this had to be discovered by him in a seemingly coincidental way, so that he could neither expose himself nor fail to gain merit.

Upon arriving at the Special Intelligence Bureau, Lu Chen did not go to the intelligence section to find Matsumoto Kiyoko, but went directly to Kuroda's office.

"Colonel, I want to ask, where is Sato-kun?"

Inside the office, Lu Chen looked respectful.

Kuroda looked at Lu Chen with a gratified expression. He was very satisfied with Lu Chen's actions in taking a bullet for Matsumoto Kiyoko.

"Sato? I don't know what he's been up to lately, I haven't seen him at all. He should be in the intelligence section office, you can ask Ms. Kiyoko to take you there."

Kuroda had no idea what Sato Yosho had been up to lately. It seemed like he wasn't given any special missions. He was only supposed to be in charge of the intelligence section, and he hadn't seen him for a long time.

Lu Chen nodded to indicate that he understood, then turned and left the Special Higher Police Headquarters, heading towards the Intelligence Section.

Upon arriving at the intelligence section, Lu Chen immediately spotted Matsumoto Kiyoko walking towards him.

"Team leader."

Lu Chen quickly greeted her, and Matsumoto Kiyoko nodded slightly, her gaze shifting to Lu Chen's left shoulder, which was bandaged.

"Are you feeling better?"

Her voice was as cold as ever.

"It'll be fine soon. The doctor said it just needs some rest."

"Team leader, I'd like to ask, where is Section Chief Sato?"

Kiyoko Matsumoto looked at Lu Chen, her expression and eyes unchanged, and continued to speak.

"I don't know. I was just about to come find you. Have someone keep an eye on him. This guy has close ties with anti-Japanese elements; he might be a spy."

As she spoke, Kiyoko Matsumoto took out a black and white photograph and handed it to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen looked at the photo. The person in the photo had a tuft of beard, but the more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

This bearded man looks very young; he shouldn't have so much of a beard at all. He seems quite unusual.

After saying that, Matsumoto Kiyoko walked past Lu Chen and left the intelligence section, telling him that his current task was to investigate whether this person was a spy or not.

Lu Chen scratched his head. He had come to the intelligence department today to look for Sato Yosho, but somehow he was assigned to monitor him.

But it doesn't matter, he has a swarm of rats, let the rats do what they want.

"Isn't this Lu Chen? Why is he injured and nowhere to be seen today?"

Just as Lu Chen was about to turn and leave, Zhang Rongshan suddenly pulled out something from somewhere, looked at the wound on Lu Chen's left shoulder with a look of disdain.

He had made a lot of contributions last time, which made him look good in front of the Japanese. Now Matsumoto Kiyoko takes him everywhere she goes. When she sees Lu Chen now, she can't help but go up and mock him.

Lu Chen sized up Zhang Rongshan, a smirk playing on his lips, then turned and left, leaving two words trailing behind him.

"clown."

Seeing Lu Chen turn and leave, Zhang Rongshan assumed that Lu Chen was just envious and jealous, and he was very pleased with himself.

As for the word "clown," he had absolutely no idea what it meant.

As Lu Chen walked out of the Special High Ground, he looked at the photo and felt it was becoming more and more familiar, especially the half of his face above the beard.

Noticing this anomaly, Lu Chen reached out and covered the beard, leaving only half of his face visible.

This one gesture made Lu Chen raise an eyebrow.

Isn't this the guy who made contact with Shen Ruoqiu? How did he get discovered by the Japanese army?

The man in the photo was the one who made contact with Shen Ruoqiu in the underground party. Lu Chen only knew that he was an anti-Japanese activist, but he didn't know which organization he belonged to.

"Now we don't need to look anymore."

Lu Chen lit a cigarette, destroyed the photos completely, and shook his head with a smile. He never expected that Matsumoto Kiyoko would ask him to monitor him.

"Rat Three, Rat Four."

Arriving at a corner, Rat Three and Rat Four had already returned and were on him. Lu Chen had called them out now to give them a task.

The rats already remembered his scent when he first met Sato Yosho.

Since we can't find him now, let the mice help us find him.

"Find Sato Yosho and take me there."
