Chapter 167: Discovery of a New Continent

Could it be that Wu Yuanfu did it?

If so, it would be even better.

Zhang Yong began to imagine what Wu Yuanfu would do next if he were in his shoes.

He would definitely want revenge.

He would definitely want to find out who betrayed him.

Because of Zhang Yong's special abilities, Wu Yuanfu was convinced that he had been betrayed.

So, finding the traitor who betrayed him may have become Wu Yuanfu's obsession. Until he gets results, this guy may resort to any means and do anything.

Murder...

rape...

looting...

It's possible.

Losing his mind, he may very well kill all his own people.

For example, this radio operator. He was the one who killed him. In fact, he could have refrained from killing. But he killed without hesitation.

He killed and left her body in a public place.

This is a public display.

It was a warning to the other Japanese spies.

He, Wu Yuanfu, no, it was Sakata Kazuo, has returned to kill!

He will take the life of whoever betrays him!

It's a very domineering feeling!

Unfortunately...

There is only one such ruthless Japanese spy.

If there were more, he would not have to do anything, just watch the Japanese spies fight among themselves.

The Japanese spies would have killed each other off.

Look at Wu Yuanfu, he has already killed two.

And this is something even he, Zhang Yong, knows. In the dark corners he doesn't know about, who knows how many people Ban Tian Yifu has killed?

"Team leader!'

'Team leader!'

'We've found something!'

Someone suddenly reports.

At Li Qiong's house, a dent has been found.

It doesn't quite look like a secret room with hidden mechanisms. There are no obstructions outside. But the dent is just the right size for a suitcase.

Or rather, it's just the right size for a suitcase containing a radio.

But now the suitcase is gone. It's probably been taken.

Who took it? Most likely the murderer.

Meanwhile, it's been discovered that there isn't a single penny in Li Qiong's house. Not even a copper coin has been left.

It's cleaner than if a few hundred mice had scurried through.

Zhang Yong: ...

This Sakata Kazuo, he doesn't spare anyone, not even the money or the radio.

Trouble is coming. Will this guy take the memo?

If he does, it'll be very difficult to get it back.

Why?

Because this guy doesn't play by the rules!

The reason Sakata Kazuo wants the memo is definitely to attract someone from above to appear. And then to find out if the other person has betrayed him.

Crazy...

This guy.

Alas, I didn't think it would turn out like this at the beginning.

I thought letting Wu Yuanfu go back would be like fighting a ghost. I didn't expect there to be a negative effect. It caused problems with the memo.

But, what else can be done?

You reap what you sow. This is the reality. Continue the search!

Get in the car.

Get ready to continue driving in circles.

Suddenly, his eyes flickered. Huh? Did he see Gu Xiaoru again?

He blinked quickly. He thought he was seeing things. Closed his eyes. Waited quietly for five seconds. Then opened his eyes. As it turned out, he still saw Gu Xiaoru.

The suitcase in Gu Xiaoru's hands was gone. She was carrying a beautiful flower basket again.

Zhang Yong couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

Who exactly is this Gu Xiaoru? Why does she seem so strange?

He decided to ignore it.

He continued to circle the area.

He kept narrowing down the search area. However, he didn't find anything.

The map gave no clues. It meant that there were no more Japanese hiding in this area. Perhaps he had already cleared it.

He looked at the time. It was dusk. He decided to end the search.

That's it. There were still five days left. No rush. If he found him, he found him. If not, forget it.

Dai Yize led the others back to the headquarters of Jige Lane, while Zhang Yong returned to the Department of Empty Funds. The reason was simple. He wanted to eat in the Department of Empty Funds, eat Western food. Drink Coke.

The food at the headquarters of Jige Lane was also pretty good. But there was definitely no drink like Coke.

Boss Dai was more resistant to these things.

Suddenly, he saw Yang Lichu. Pretended not to see. Yang Lichu did the same.

She had already decided that Zhang Yong was the worst kind of scumbag. She vowed never to speak to him again. As if they had never met.

Zhang Yong didn't dare to approach her either. She wasn't a Japanese spy. Approaching her would be a crime.

He entered the restaurant alone. He took a plate. He took his own food and drinks. He made himself at home. He ordered a dish.

He found a seat in the corner. He drank his cola quietly.

The Coke was in cold water. It wasn't very cold, but it was still quite refreshing. And there was no need to worry about over-freezing and causing internal bleeding.

Coke and fried chicken legs. It was a joy.

For a small fry like him, it was already pretty good to be able to live like this. Frankly, he was quite content.

Especially since he had a little money in his personal space.

He gave all the big money to the Red Party as a gift. But he kept all the gold bars. He also kept all the US dollars and British pounds. He didn't give any to anyone.

He had a good meal. He left the restaurant. He burped contentedly.

Alas, it was really good to work in the empty treasury department. He didn't really want to go back.

He drove back to the vicinity of the small white palace.

There were still field agents on duty here. Waiting for the Japanese spies to turn themselves in.

But unfortunately, so far, no Japanese spies have appeared.

Boring.

There is no entertainment in the evening.

And no women...

Decided to take a drive.

A spur-of-the-moment decision. Shouldn't have any enemies following. Definitely not.

Keep driving until he reached the Qinhuai River. But didn't go to the brothel. Worried about uncleanliness. He has plenty of clean women around. No need to take risks.

Suddenly, a red dot cut across the edge of the map.

Zhang Yong's expression changed. He took out his binoculars and quietly observed his target.

His personal space contained some small but very useful items.

The binoculars were one of them.

Soon, he locked onto his target. At the same time, he recognised the target.

It was Kitakata Taro.

This guy was in disguise, wearing a mask.

However, Zhang Yong still saw through him. Perhaps it was because he had had face-to-face contact with him before.

In fact, disguise can only fool strangers. If you come into contact with someone a few times, it's hard to keep up the pretence. It's disguise, not magic.

Stay calm.

What is Kitakata Kotaro doing here in Qinhuai River?

Most likely, he's meeting someone.

Or maybe he's here to pick up something.

Look around.

A bold idea occurred to him.

He was going to go solo.

If it were anyone else, he might not dare. But when it came to Kitakata Kotaro, he dared.

Higashitani is not very good at solo operations. He is capable of controlling the other party. He has all kinds of weapons in his space. He also has enough bullets.

On the contrary, Higashitani definitely does not carry weapons. Carrying weapons is a taboo when going out on secret missions.

It would have been fine. But because of the weapons, his identity was revealed. That would be the end. He would not make such a mistake.

Who is the person he is meeting with?

Is he a Japanese spy?

It is unclear.

Zhang Yong continues to hold the binoculars and observe carefully.

Soon, Kitakata entered a cheongsam shop. About ten minutes later, he came out again.

He began to quicken his pace, preparing to leave the Qinhuai River.

It seems that the object has been obtained.

Zhang Yong followed him without making a sound. He was looking for a suitable place to intercept.

The map showed the location of the Japanese spy, as well as the surrounding topography, the spacing of buildings, and so on. He could quickly find the most suitable place to intercept.

He found it quickly.

Behind a broken wall, there was a field of ruins.

Hokuto Kitakata hurriedly walked past. Zhang Yong suddenly appeared from behind. He hit the other person on the back of the head with a stick.

Well, it was that simple and brutal.

There was no way around it. He didn't know any ways to knock someone out. He could only resort to the most primitive way of hitting someone with a stick.

What?

You might kill someone?

There was nothing he could do. It was the first time, and he had no experience.

Sure enough, Hokuto Kitakata fell without a sound. He didn't know if he would be killed.

Zhang Yong didn't care. He quickly searched him.

From the suitcase he was carrying, he found a brocade box. He opened it and inside were two silver-white metal plates.

He felt a sudden thrill. He was overjoyed.

The metal masters!

Not just one!

Two!

He had recovered both at the same time.

Haha!

It was truly a stroke of luck.

Luckily, I didn't go into the brothel. Otherwise, I would have missed it tonight. This is a whole ten thousand dollars! Just thinking about it makes my eyes go green.

'Boo!'

He couldn't help kissing the metal master version.

He was so excited.

The coldness on the metal master version made him feel very comfortable.

Damn it, I'm so lucky I didn't catch this Kitakata Taro before, otherwise I would have suffered a great loss.

It seems that sometimes, really is a blessing in disguise.

Finally, he understood the purpose of Kitakata Kotaro's visit to Jinling. Most likely, he came to take the metal master.

This thing is much more important than the three Yang family members.

Good, good, take it!

Take it!

Zhang Yong quickly hid the metal master.

Then he continued to search the body.

Another silver ticket was found. What a disappointment. Only one...

Search carefully!

But on closer inspection, his eyes sparkled.

It turned out that the denomination on this silver note was a staggering 10,000 taels of silver.

Wow!

10,000 taels of silver!

Damn, that guy's rich!

Luckily I acted quickly, otherwise I would have lost out big time.

Continue the body search.

Unfortunately, nothing more was found.

Good.

Let's go.

What?

What about Kitakata Taro?

If he's not dead, he'll wake up naturally.

If he's got a concussion and gone stupid, all the better. Let the Japanese spy be suspicious.

Anyway, he's got the money. He's also got the metal master.

All that's left is to figure out how to hand it over to Kong Fansong.

After being tricked by Madam, Zhang Yong has learned his lesson. You have to hand over the money before you hand over the metal master.

If you don't pay me, I won't give you the metal master.

Although Kong was very generous, he had to be careful. What if he felt that he had solved the case too easily and didn't want to pay?

There's a way.

Think of a way. You went to a lot of trouble to get it back in disguise.

That way, the other party will happily give you the gun.

And, from whom did you get the metal master back?

Haha,

It seems like you can frame someone for it!

If you don't like someone, just leave the metal master in their house and then search it.

They'll definitely be unable to defend themselves.

When the Kong family got angry, they killed him.

'Ah...'

Zhang Yong was beside himself with excitement.

It felt as if he had discovered a new world.

So this is how you can harm people!

I love it!

His first thought was to frame Chun Yu Chi.

He would plant the metal master in his house and then search it out. This guy would either die or lose his skin.

Yes!

Let's do it!
