Chapter 297: I finally caught you!

Is the nightclub a good place to attack?

Of course not. The people inside are very difficult to deal with.

Dou Yishan is a pirate leader himself. I guess he has the support of the Japanese behind him. He must have a lot of minions around him.

Perhaps, many bandits have also joined him.

For those bandits and thieves who committed crimes and did evil, joining the pirates was actually a very good choice.

If the situation outside was not tense, they would go ashore to loot and plunder. Kill people and rob them. Rape and plunder. If the situation was tense, they would immediately go back to the sea. Hide on an island far away from the mainland. The pursuit would naturally fail.

The platoon of guards brought by Zhou Yang wore plain clothes and used both machine guns and submachine guns.

Zhang Yong brought three small teams, about 50 people. The weapons were all kinds. There was everything. Pistols, submachine guns, rifles, everything.

However, at the last minute, Zhou Yang hesitated again.

He was worried that if there was a real fight, there would be a lot of noise. And it would be a long tail.

After all, firing in a downtown area. It is easy to cause collateral damage. If someone reports it to the higher-ups, someone will definitely investigate.

If, in the midst of the fighting, someone of importance is accidentally killed, the authorities will investigate. The consequences will be severe.

What should he do?

He looked at Zhang Yong.

Of course, Zhang Yong would not so easily take the blame.

He had said that they were going to wipe out the pirates. That meant going to the island and killing them there. It was not a case of fighting in the city centre.

On a remote island, they could fire as much as they liked. No one would know how many people had been killed.

'Wait!'

Zhang Yong gave himself advice.

So, he continued to wait patiently. He waited until Dou Yishan came out.

Fortunately, it didn't take long...

'Report, Dou Yishan is out!'

'Oh?'

Zhou Yang's face lit up with joy.

He hurriedly got ready.

Zhang Yong raised his binoculars and saw a group of people coming out of the side entrance of the nightclub. There were about twenty of them.

Everyone was armed. Many had pistols stuck in their waists. These were the weapons that bandits liked to use the most. Powerful, long-range, and with a large magazine capacity. Definitely the bandits' favourite.

The one in the middle, could that be Dou Yishan? He was dark and tanned, like he was from Africa.

'Go!'

Zhou Yang immediately led his men in a charge.

This was the best opportunity to move in. You can't miss this chance,

'Da da da...'

'Da da da...'

Hua Jian opened fire first.

The soldiers in the guard platoon immediately opened fire.

It seems that they did not receive orders to capture the criminals alive. Or perhaps they simply did not know how to do so.

'Po po po...'

'Po po po...'

The bandits around Dou Yishan were shot and fell one after the other.

The sudden shooting wounded the pirates. Many of them had not yet reacted when they were already knocked down.

Some pirates quickly drew their guns and fired. They were immediately covered by the machine guns.

More than 30 machine guns fired at the same time, and the firepower was still very fierce. The enemy was not given the chance to resist.

'Ah...'

'Ah...'

One by one, the pirates fell.

Zhang Yong and the others stood still.

They were watching the fun.

There was no need to intervene.

Without warning, Dou Yishan and the others were unable to resist.

It was only a matter of time before they were all wiped out.

'Capture them alive!'

'Capture them alive!'

It was only then that Zhou Yang shouted.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

With such heavy gunfire, how could there be any survivors?

Indeed, all of Dou Yishan's men were quickly defeated. Dou Yishan himself was also killed.

There was nothing they could do. Bullets were flying everywhere. If you weren't careful, you would be hit.

There were no survivors. Everyone was dead.

'Clean up the scene!'

'Go!'

Zhou Yang waved his hand angrily.

People were killed. It's not worth much. I can't find any information!

I have to temporarily withdraw.

Zhou Yang was a little scared himself after making such a big noise.

He immediately bid farewell to Zhang Yong. He said he would lead the team back first. He left the rest to Zhang Yong.

'No problem,' Zhang Yong nodded, "leave it to me!'

'Thank you!" Zhou Yang withdrew with his troops.

Zhang Yong's mouth curled up in a sneer.

He had the heart of a thief, but not the guts. He did it but didn't dare to take responsibility.

That's it, and you still want to get rich?

Watch me. I dare to kill even the Japanese. I'm not afraid...

I'll immediately go into the nightclub. Kill all the Japanese inside. Get Kintaro Nogata out. Torture him severely.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to him.

There were four red dots moving towards the main entrance of the nightclub. It was Kintaro Nogata.

This guy wants to run away?

It should be.

The gunshots just now must have alarmed him.

The Paris Night Club on the sea is no longer safe. He needs to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.

Zhang Yong immediately waved his hand. Everyone immediately hid.

Kintaro Nogata is an old fox. Before he comes out, he will definitely carefully observe the movements around him.

If this old fox notices anything unusual, then he will not be caught.

In fact, Kintaro Nogata was indeed very careful, and he observed quietly behind the door. He was convinced that there was nothing unusual outside, so he walked out.

There were three other Japanese men with him. They were all armed.

They were all extremely vigilant. They were on full alert, staring around.

There was nothing unusual.

They were relieved and got into the car.

Soon, Kintaro Notani's car drove onto the main road.

Wu Liuji, who was waiting around the corner, immediately started the car, accelerated, and with a single kick of the accelerator, the car rushed out.

Then it slammed into the target.

'Boom...'

'Clatter...'

The violent impact pushed the target car to the side.

The others quickly swarmed over. They surrounded the car.

'Bang!'

One Japanese soldier was killed.

'Bang!'

Another Japanese soldier was killed.

'Bang!'

A third Japanese soldier was killed.

Zhang Yong's orders were very simple. Just kill Kintaro Noguchi.

Kill all the others, whether they resisted or not.

If Kintaro Noguchi resisted, kill him too. But Zhong Yang and the others decisively captured the other party alive.

The gunfire stopped.

Kintaro Nogaya was dragged from the car. His hands were already tied.

Zhang Yong came up from behind.

Yes, it was him. Kintaro Nogaya. The head of the Japanese spy agency.

After all that trouble, it was all so effortless.

They had tried so many methods, but they had never been able to find the old man.

Unexpectedly, they received information from Yan Ruzi. Then they acted decisively and finally captured him.

Look at the time.

Fortunately, we didn't waste thirty minutes.

Otherwise, we would have missed a big fish. It's hard to say if we'll get another chance to catch it.

But Yan Ruzi is there. Sooner or later, he'll get him.

'Mr. Noguchi,' Zhang Yong said with a smile, "we finally meet.'

'Zhang Yong!" Kintaro Noguchi gritted his teeth.

'Yes. It's me.'

'The Japanese Empire will not let you go.'

'That's for later. You won't be able to see it. Have you sold the item in your hand?'

'Hagya...'

'If the transaction hasn't been completed, let's go and complete it.'

'You wish!'

'Mr. Nogi, I also have another identity, called Liu Heizi. Do you want me to speak to you in that capacity?'

'Hagya...'

Nogi Kintaro was stubborn. Disdainful.

Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. He saw Zhang Yong pull out a sharp dagger.

'Let's talk about this.'

'Let's talk about this!'

Kintaro Nogaya immediately changed his words.

He knew that the other party was not bluffing. He was really going to do it.

Once the other party pulled the trigger, it would be his ears that suffered. Or his nose. Or his shoulder blades. Or his knees. Why did he have to do this?

He didn't think he was tough enough to withstand the Fuxing Society's torture.

'Hah!'

The dagger was plunged into Kintaro Notani's thigh.

It was perfectly centered.

'Ah...'

Kintaro Notani let out a scream.

Then, someone covered his mouth. He could only make a whimpering sound.

Zhang Yong clapped his hands. He signaled Zhong Yang to let go.

Since he had drawn his sword, he had to see blood.

'You, you, you...' Kintaro Nogaya's whole body was shaking with pain.

He regretted it.

Why did he come back to Shanghai?

If he had known that Zhang Yong was in Shanghai, he would have fled to the other side of the Yangtze River.

As long as he was not in Songhu or Jinling, Zhang Yong could do nothing to him. Zhang Yong could not possibly go to Henan Province to arrest someone!

Unfortunately, it was too late to regret it now.

It would be difficult to escape from the hands of this demon, Zhang Yong.

'I want money,'

Zhang Yong said bluntly.

Kintaro Noguchi tried hard to breathe.

For the first time, he felt the pain of being stabbed with a knife.

However, this was just the beginning.

If he did not cooperate, what would happen next?

He did not dare to think about it.

In short, his body would be lost, part by part.

Eventually, he would become a mass of flesh that could not be recognised as human. No hands or feet. Any protruding parts would be shaved flat. It would be a human stick.

'I, I, I...'

'Tell me where all the funds of the Huizhou authorities are.'

'Me, me, me...'

'I'm very patient. Do you want some salt water? Salt water can disinfect...'

'No, no, I'll talk!'

Kintaro Nogaya finally cracked. Sprinkle salt water on the wound? You've got to be kidding.

What kind of demon could come up with such a vicious method?

This Zhang Yong is truly the reincarnation of a demon!

Damn it...

Why didn't the sun goddess Amaterasu take him?

'Speak.'

'In Sanhe...'

Nogaya Kintaro spoke the location of the first deposit.

He did not carry the money with him. He was afraid of losing it. Instead, he had placed it in various safe houses.

The first safe house was a very ordinary second floor. It was rented by the owner of the house.

There was a wooden bed in the room. One of the bed legs was hollow. Lifted the leg up. Pried open the sealed wood. Inside was a thin cigarette case. Made of iron.

Open the cigarette box. Inside is a stack of silver notes.

A quick count. They are all 200 silver dollar notes. There are ten in total. That's 2,000 silver dollars.

'Only this much?' Zhang Yong can't believe it.

Such a huge house, and only 2,000 silver dollars are hidden here? What a joke!

I'm going to have a good talk with this guy.

No salt water? Then some syrup. Apply the syrup to the wound and leave it in the open. Ants should like it.

'And...'

Kintaro Nogaya was distraught.

He knew it would be difficult to hide his past.

The man in front of him had captured countless Japanese spies.

Even a master like Kumazo Takegawa had fallen into the other's hands. One could imagine how terrifying the other person was.

If he is found to be concealing anything, he can imagine what will happen next.

Is lingchi terrible? No. There are many punishments that are a hundred times worse than lingchi. He doesn't want to take any chances.

'Outside that window sill...'

'The third brick from the right...'

Kintaro Notani gasps as he continues to confess helplessly.

Zhang Yong carefully loosens the corresponding blue brick. Lift it up. There is a waterproof oil paper package underneath.

Lift the oil paper package. Put the green brick back. Open the oil paper package layer by layer. There are five silver banknotes inside. All of them are 200 silver dollar denominations. In total, it is 1,000 silver dollars.

Well, this guy, he hid it in such a fragmented way. The amount is small. And it is so secretive.

How afraid he is of losing it!

Would it kill you to put ten more in each place? It's exhausting!

'Is there any more?'

'There's none here. They're somewhere else...'

'Take us there!'

Zhang Yong led Kintaro Nogaya on a search for the safe houses.

It was a shock to find out how many there were.

After a round of driving, they were amazed.

Kintaro Nogaya had actually prepared more than ten safe houses. The maximum amount of silver notes stored in each safe house was no more than 3,000 taels.

In each safe house, the silver notes were stored in two or three places.

Even if a thief were to encounter one, it would be impossible for them to steal all the banknotes. No one would be so careful.

'Who else knows about these safe houses?' Zhang Yong suddenly asked.

'Only I know. I haven't told anyone else,' Kintaro Nogaya replied.

'Good,' Zhang Yong immediately told Yang Zhi to record it.

Money is needed. Houses are also needed.

These safe houses seem to be in pretty good locations.

They are scattered all over Shanghai. There are safe houses in every direction.

There are all kinds of types. Perfect for hiding.

Very good. Later, when we fight the Japanese invaders, we can hide in these places ourselves.

I don't want to bother arranging it myself.

They say that without guns or cannons, the enemy will build them for us. The same goes for safe houses.

Continue looking.

They went to eighteen places in a row. A total of eighteen safe houses.

A total of 45,000 silver yuan banknotes were seized.

It is said that the Japanese authorities are rich. That is for sure. These 40,000 banknotes are probably not all of it.

'What else?'

'They're not in Shanghai anymore.'

'Where are they?'

'Some are in Nanjing, some in Hankou.'

'The exact addresses.'

'I...'

'You won't say?'

'I'll say.'

Kintaro Nogaya had no choice but to confess.

Zhang Yong then wrote down all the addresses. He then called Mao Renfeng.

Don't forget. Mao Renfeng was still the head of the 5th Section. It was specifically responsible for fighting the Japanese. He Zhang Yong returned to Shanghai and was still the main force of the 5th Section. It was also the only professional combat unit.

'Shaolong, is there any good news?'

'Yes, Chief. I've captured the head of the Japanese spy agency, Kintaro Noguchi. He's revealed a lot of safe houses, where they store some funds. Please have someone record the addresses and send someone to collect them.'

'Oh? That's really good news!'

'Please send someone from headquarters to Songhu to escort Kintaro Noguchi back.'

'Okay, I'll report to the Director immediately!'

Mao Renfeng hung up the phone and immediately came to report to the director.

The director looked unmoved. In fact, he was very happy inside.

He had captured a Japanese spy chief.

It seemed that the Japanese were not so formidable after all. The spy chief had been captured.

'How are the negotiations going?'

'The Japanese are in a difficult position, and no new negotiations have started yet.'

'Trying to bait us? Hmph! Tell Shaolong not to hold back in the negotiations! It doesn't matter if they don't work out. We're not the ones who are in a hurry.'

'Understood!'
