Spy War: My Cheat Code is a Rat

When Matsumoto Kiyoko saw who was behind her, her face turned extremely cold. Her words filled Fu Yangshan with terror, and even his breathing became more rapid.

"Team leader, no, I was just passing by and happened to overhear your conversation, so I just shared my opinion."

Fu Yangshan waved his hand. Of course, he wouldn't directly admit that he was eavesdropping, because Matsumoto Kiyoko would definitely not let him off the hook if he did.

Lu Chen looked at him, raised an eyebrow, and said nothing.

"Okay, then tell me, why is he in the action team?"

Kiyoko Matsumoto didn't pursue his disrespect, but instead asked Fu Yangshan with great interest why he thought that way.

Lu Chen looked at him too. He wanted to see why this guy thought he was in the action group, a cannon fodder department, even though he was clearly in the intelligence section.

"First of all, he is an agent, so he must have accomplices, and the action team has to go out almost every day so that he can transmit intelligence more effectively."

"Moreover, the action team is always the first to know about any missions, such as arresting anti-Japanese elements. They are also the first to know about the most difficult and tiring tasks, as well as some of the more important ones."

Fu Yangshan listed several reasons why he believed the agent "Rat" was in the action group.

Listening to his words, Lu Chen also felt that there was some truth to them. It was indeed easier to obtain intelligence about the outings by infiltrating the action group, but apart from not being able to catch anti-Japanese elements, they could hardly cause any losses to the Japanese army.

"That makes sense, but we can't overlook the intelligence department either. The intelligence department is where we get the most information, and the requirements for joining it are very strict."

"To avoid being discovered, he would definitely have to hand over some intelligence that would be useful for capturing anti-Japanese elements in order to join. We can focus on investigating the outstanding members of the intelligence department."

Kiyoko Matsumoto pondered for a moment, currently only knowing the code name "Rat".

Normally, internal traitors are discovered in the intelligence section or the action team. The intelligence section is more likely to be investigated, as agents often perform minor merits to gain trust. Therefore, the intelligence section and the action team must be the focus of investigations.

"Alright, Lu Chen, you and Fu Yangshan will be in charge of the intelligence investigation team and the action group. You have one month. Report any suspicious individuals to me immediately. Do not make any arrests without careful consideration. Also, do not make it too obvious and do not alert the enemy."

Kiyoko Matsumoto took the matter of the mole within the organization very seriously, and since the two people in front of her were both quite capable, she directly assigned the task to them.

However, they were only given the right to investigate, not the right to arrest people without authorization.

"Okay, team leader, I'll definitely catch this mouse!"

Fu Yangshan was very excited. He did his best to serve the Special Higher Police, but he was still just an ordinary team member.

If he performs another meritorious service this time, he might not be a member but a team leader. At that time, he will be the first Chinese team leader in the Special Task Force!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get excited. Lu Chen also agreed in Japanese, but he didn't seem as happy as Fu Yangshan.

"This guy really thinks he's Japanese; he's so excited."

Lu Chen shook his head inwardly, inwardly criticizing Fu Yangshan.

"Your Japanese is pretty good. Are you trying to make a name for yourself?"

After Matsumoto Kiyoko handed the matter over to Lu Chen and the other man, she turned and left. Fu Yangshan turned to look at Lu Chen and gave a cold laugh.

Because of the unequal treatment, and the fact that Lu Chen was valued by the team leader as soon as he arrived, Fu Yangshan felt resentful and turned to Lu Chen as a potential rival.

"Has this kid been fooled by the Japanese?"

Lu Chen smirked, too lazy to pay him any attention.

Fortunately, Matsumoto Kiyoko gave Lu Chen the right to investigate, which gave him the opportunity to get to know the people in the intelligence department better.

"I'll investigate the intelligence section; you go to the operations team to investigate."

After saying that, Fu Yangshan walked away without waiting for Lu Chen's reply. He also felt that the special agent was in the intelligence department and that the action team was just trying to fool Kiyoko Matsukata.

Fu Yangshan frowned as he walked up to an intelligence officer, looked down at him as he worked, and after a while, nodded and moved on to the next person.

Seeing his reaction, Lu Chen didn't argue. He shrugged and walked out of the intelligence section toward the action team.

Even if you investigate him, you won't find anything, since you're the one who got caught in the crossfire.

"Let's see how long you can be so arrogant."

Lu Chen thought to himself that he had already made a plan. Fu Yangshan was his scapegoat, but he had to find some false evidence to make Matsumoto Kiyoko and Kuroda believe it.

The action team was right next to the intelligence section; Lu Chen could reach them in just a few steps.

The action team's building was very different from those of other departments; it was a small bungalow, just like the houses where ordinary people lived.

"That's too frugal."

Lu Chen shook his head, guessing the food wasn't good either. But it was normal that the Japanese didn't like Chinese people either; if they had no use, they probably wouldn't be able to survive.

Pushing open the door, the room was empty, with only a few tables and chairs, and not a single person in sight.

"Sir, who are you looking for?"

Seeing that no one was around, Lu Chen was about to turn around and leave when the innermost small door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man walked out.

"Is this the action team?"

The man was half a head shorter than Lu Chen, with a sparse beard and very noticeable bloodshot eyes.

"Yes, sir, this is the action team, but they've all gone out on missions. I'm the team leader, Zhao Shutian."

Zhao Shutian looked at the person in front of him. Although they were both Chinese, he still addressed Lu Chen as "Sir".

The leader of the action team and the leader of the cannon fodder team are only slightly higher in rank than those cannon fodder, but only by a tiny margin.

"Do you have records of the specific details and family situations of the people here? The higher-ups need to investigate people, so they sent me to the action team to check."

Lu Chen looked at him, said nothing more, and directly asked him to hand over the information.

In TGOAT, no matter which department they were in, if someone was Chinese, their background would be thoroughly investigated and documented.

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment, I'll go get it right away."

When Zhao Shutian turned around, Lu Chen noticed that he was limping and his left leg seemed to be not working well.

Lu Chen didn't ask why. He just hoped that these traitors would die sooner rather than later; keeping them around would only cause more trouble.

After waiting for a while, Zhao Shutian came out with a black notebook in his hand.

"My lord, they're all here."

"Okay, I'll take it. I'll return it to you after the investigation is complete."

Lu Chen took the black notebook, casually flipped through it, tucked it under his arm, and turned to walk out of the military police station.

After Lu Chen left, Zhao Shutian stood there watching his back for a while before turning around and returning to his office.

There are quite a lot of people.

As Lu Chen walked down the street, he opened a black notebook. It was filled with names, each followed by a home address, family members, and a brief description of their past.

Some people's names were marked with a big cross, while others had a checkmark. Checkmarks were very rare; most names were crosses.

Looking at these symbols, Lu Chen guessed that those with a checkmark on their names were people like Fu Yangshan who had successfully become officials, while those with an X were probably dead.
