Liang Shuo Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to Team Leader Chen If you’re going to act like a barking dog At least keep your eyes wide open If you can’t handle tough challenges, don’t bite off more than you can chew Even kids understand this principle Why can’t you figure it out? Liang Shuo, you- Director Director I have something important to report to you in private Director Team Leader Chen There’s no need for you to explain anymore Your subordinate just confessed You were on the scene All of the assassination actions Were under your command I- Someone! Take him to the interrogation room And give him a proper questioning Director Director Move Director Director Liang Shuo Director I’m innocent, Director Director Li You’re truly magnanimous If it were me I’d have sent him straight to the execution ground This Chen Geng Sheng Has been an old-timer at the Special Agent Headquarters Before all the facts are clear I think we should proceed cautiously Take a bit more time To uncover the truth It’s absolutely necessary Director Li Once the investigation results are out Please inform me as soon as possible After all, as the victim in this situation, I believe that Director Li wouldn’t refuse my request. Of course, maintaining internal transparency is the principle of our investigation. Moreover, Director Liang’s actions today have been commendable. I assure you, I will treat this matter with complete fairness. As for Chen Gengsheng, leave him to me. Alright, it’s getting late. Let’s call it a day. Everything else can wait until tomorrow. Gentlemen, who are you looking for? Hello, I am Takagi Yuki from the Customs Investigation Bureau. Under the orders of Superintendent Mizuno of the Plum Organization, I am here for an appointment. Yes, yes, who are you meeting with? Let me inform them for you. Wang Qiaosu. Director Wang is on the second floor. This way, please. Over here. Please, Director Wang, someone is here to see you. Director Wang, where is he? Where did he go? I don’t know. He was just here a moment ago. Search for him. He left in a hurry. Someone must have leaked information. Mr. Mizuno is right. With the Peace Conference about to begin, we cannot afford to loosen supervision over key departments. The location where the anti-Japanese activists are hiding explosives is within the delivery area of this North Shanghai post office. Tonight, I faced danger twice, and I owe my life to Director Liang for saving me. If it weren’t for you. Not at all. You’re too kind, Chief. For Director Liang, this might have been a minor effort, but for Kiko, it was a life-saving act. It must and will be remembered. You’re being too generous, Chief Hirata. As an escort assigned to this mission, the responsibility was heavy. I merely did my duty. The evidence against Chen Gengsheng is conclusive now. It seems he is the person Director Liang mentioned, the infiltrator within Headquarters. As for the truth of the matter, we’ll have to wait for Headquarters and the Special Operations Committee’s conclusion. As for the department’s matters, there’s no rush right now. Director Liang, you should take a good rest. Thank you for your concern, Chief. I still have a lot of work to handle. If the work isn’t done, I just can’t feel at ease. If everyone in Headquarters was as dedicated as Director Liang, fulfilling their duties, then achieving our goal of Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity would be just around the corner. I will thoroughly explain Director Liang’s accomplishments today to Mr. Mizuno. Thank you, Chief, for your support. Teacher. Junior Sister. Senior Brother. Where’s the dynamite? At a transport company on Rui’an Road. The goods are on a truck. We didn’t dare unload them. They’re covered with a tarp outside, camouflaged as building materials. Two brothers are watching over it there. If it’s discovered, it can be relocated at any time. You’re truly dependable. Although the venue for the peace conference hasn’t been finalized yet, it won’t be outside the northern district of Shanghai. These explosives can’t all be transported directly. They have to be delivered in batches. Get ready to act anytime. Teacher, how should the explosives be distributed? We’ll use the postal system. Send them through regular delivery channels. I’ve already prepared a family letter for the director of the Shanghai North Postal Bureau, Wang Qiaosu. Once he receives the letter, he’ll know what to do. Sir! Sir! Something has happened at the Shanghai North Post Office! The postal contact reported that the Japanese just raided the post office. They said they wanted to negotiate with Director Wang Qiaosu. But seeing the situation wasn’t right, Director Wang made his escape beforehand. The Japanese, in their fury, even killed the gatekeeper. The postal route is the weakest link in the entire plan. It’s prone to heavy scrutiny with its high traffic of individuals. And now, our biggest concern has come true. Mizuno Shingen must have been watching the Wang Qiaosu connection for some time. That’s why the military police reacted so quickly. Fortunately, Wang Qiaosu managed to escape. We must prepare for the worst-case scenario. Find a way to contact Liang Shuo. I need to see him. Understood. Newspapers for sale! Newspapers for sale! Get your newspaper here! Current Affairs Daily! Here, kid. Buy a newspaper. Sir, here’s your paper. Thank you, sir. Newspapers for sale! Newspapers for sale! Take a look at this news. The postal route has been destroyed. Wang Qiaosu has escaped. Mizuno Shingen. This move of turning defense into offense. Is truly impressive. Even someone like Xie Jun’an. Got caught up in it. What should we do now? Even though this is Military Intelligence’s matter. There’s no way we can cooperate with them. However, if Military Intelligence halts their operation, the Japanese will shift their attention elsewhere. This will inevitably affect our rescue plan. Moreover, I am also worried that Wang Qiaosu has a special identity. If he falls into the hands of the Japanese, it could pose a threat to Comrade Qingshuang’s undercover mission. It could jeopardize her safety. Your concerns are indeed valid. I request the organization to pay attention to this matter. Alright. I will immediately request instructions from the organization. If there’s any news, I will assign someone to contact you. Didn’t you have something to say to me? Now, I am giving you this chance. Chief, you have to believe me. I have always been loyal and devoted. It’s just this time, Liang Shuo outsmarted me. Chief, you know that I’ve always suspected Liang Shuo. So after Liang Shuo returned on the night of the 18th, I’ve been keeping a close watch on him. During the previous headquarters meeting, I had someone pretend to be a Chongqing agent and make contact with him. The meeting place was set at Jiangfeng Restaurant. I informed him of the meeting time, which was last night at eight o’clock. You mean, Liang Shuo knew about the Jiangfeng Restaurant. Yes. I have a recording of this. It can serve as evidence. Why didn’t you mention it last night? Liang Shuo doesn’t know I have a recording. He’s skilled at twisting the truth. He’s way too cunning. I had to let you know first. Chief, think about it. Liang Shuo was fully aware, that there would be a meeting at Jiangfeng Restaurant with Chongqing agents. Yet, he didn’t report it. What does this indicate? At the very least, it shows he might be covering up for someone. And this time, not only did he fail to report it, he turned it around and framed me instead. What does that indicate? It shows that Liang Shuo saw through your plan, and instead of reporting it, he was active near Jiangfeng Restaurant at the same time. Exactly! I can’t outsmart him. There’s definitely something wrong with Liang Shuo. Where’s the recording? Good morning. You’re here so early. Chen Gengsheng has been interrogated. Let’s talk as we walk. I can’t figure out what the Chief is thinking. He specifically named me, to personally interrogate Chen Gengsheng. The Chief knows I don’t get along with him. Isn’t this setting me up to go hard on him? Brother Cui, you better think this through carefully. Don’t overthink it. It also shows, that the Chief trusts you. Chief. Found in Team Leader Chen’s office. Put it over there. Alright. Director. Are you suspecting Liang Shuo, or Chen Gengsheng? Until they prove their innocence, I trust no one. Then why did you send Director Liang to the interrogation room? Is that hard to understand? To test someone, the best method is to give them power. To give them money. Now Liang Shuo has the authority to decide life or death. If he’s hiding something, what would he do? Director, you’re truly wise. Shall I go to the interrogation room to keep watch? Yes. Team Leader Chen! I told you not to move, stop moving! Look at that, a perfectly good tooth gone to waste. Such a pity. Liang Shuo! I’ll kill you! Team Leader Chen doesn’t seem to grasp the situation yet. The one tied up is you, not me. Your identity as a Military Intelligence agent
has been exposed. Just confess already. Save yourself some unnecessary suffering. Nonsense! You’re the Military Intelligence agent! Watch your mouth! Our boss has already shown you a lot of mercy. If you keep pushing your luck, there won’t be any point. Start the electricity. Enough. Old Yu. Boss. Have you forgotten how he bullied you? If you kill him, will you take responsibility? I’m still counting on getting information out of his mouth. Why are we stopping the interrogation? Brother Cui you handle the questioning. Team Leader Chen and I don’t get along. If I were to do it, he might just grit his teeth and hold out till the end. It wouldn’t help our progress at all. I enjoy a good fight, but not beating a dead dog. That’s too boring. Alright. Take a break for now. Team Leader Chen, we’ve switched interrogators. I’ll play along with you. Director, I’m holding back a lot. Now it’s Cui handling the interrogation. Pause for a moment. Bring Cui Mo over. Yes. Director, you were looking for me? Any breakthroughs? Following your instructions, I didn’t resort to harsh methods, just tried to intimidate him. But I didn’t expect this— this kid may look shifty, but he’s got surprisingly strong willpower. Look at this. What is it? He tried to bribe me. Told me there’s a safe at his place with fifteen gold bars in it. That does sound like something he’d do. Alright. Take a listen to this. What is it? Chen Gengsheng bugged Liang Shuo. Sir, long time no see. And you are? Sir, you really have a short memory. We just met yesterday. Scorpio asked me to deliver a message to you: Tomorrow night at 8. Jiangfeng Restaurant, second floor There’s an important matter to discuss You got the wrong person That’s it What does this prove? Because when he heard the codename Scorpio His reaction was too calm After all, information about Scorpio was revealed Then tell me, why didn’t he report it? Maybe it was someone’s prank, or perhaps someone was trying to frame him. A prank? He knows about Jiangfeng Restaurant, and he knows the meeting time. How does this look like a coincidence in any way? Do you think Liang Shuo is setting up Chen Geng? At the very least, it proves he cannot completely shirk responsibility. Although this recording doesn’t qualify as evidence, it is a crucial clue. Now between these two, who is lying? Maybe, huh these two people both lied Better to stay cautious You know why not go and verify the clues provided by Chen Gengsheng and also You need to make good use of this key to the safe. Do you know what to do now? What? Is this really the time to let sentiment take over? Rest assured. If he really is a Chongqing agent, I definitely won’t show mercy. Brother Cui, you’re looking for me? Have you guessed why I’m looking for you? Brother Cui, I just came from the interrogation room. And you chose this place again? Trying to send me a hint, aren’t you? About tipping me off to the Japanese, I haven’t even thanked you yet. We’re brothers, after all. No need to mention returning favors. Crucial information like that, let’s keep it between us. Brother Cui, you’re playing tricks again. I really can’t tell, is this good news or bad news? Do you even realize, disaster is about to befall you? Disaster? What do you mean? Brother Cui, what are you implying? Chen Gengsheng is indeed behind bars now, but he is, after all, the head of the 76th Division’s telecom team. Don’t you think you’ve won a bit too easily this time? He’s been spying on you. And now, he’s acting like he’s ready to take you down with him. He admitted to orchestrating the Jiangfeng Restaurant trap for you. The listening device has already been handed over, just to drag you into the mud. I knew Chen Gengsheng wasn’t that simple. But I’m really curious, what exactly did he overhear? What did he overhear? Right now, no one knows. But by tomorrow at the latest, the interrogation room will call you in. Lucky for you, my friend, I can help you out. What’s this? The key to a safe. Chen Gengsheng was hoarding 15 gold bars at home, trying to bribe me. Brother Cui, shouldn’t this go to the Chief? Why are you giving it to me? Do you not understand, what I’m trying to tell you? Surely you see my meaning, right? Or are you still pretending not to know? Right now, I’m the only one who knows about this. What exactly is in the safe? Nobody has any idea. If you’re really that uneasy about it, why not plant some evidence in the safe? Fake proof of Chen Gengsheng colluding with the Bureau of Investigation. As long as you return the key to me before tomorrow’s public trial, it’ll be fine. Oh, Cui, Cui, what am I going to do with you? What do you mean by that? I’m trying to help you! I know you’re helping me, Cui. I must be out of my mind, to even suspect you! Suspect me? What do you suspect me of? Forget it, it’s embarrassing to even say. No, no, no, hold on, you’d better make yourself clear. Leaving it vague like this, what if someone else hears about it? At No. 76, how am I supposed to show my face? How could I possibly share this with anyone else? I was just thinking— when Hezi and I were ambushed at the warehouse in Lianjia Alley, that location, only you, I, and she knew about it. There’s no way a fourth person could have known. Exactly. So how did Chen Gengsheng get wind of it? Even sending someone to assassinate us. What’s more, Hezi and I were the very first to know and acted immediately. Even if information leaked out, Chen Gengsheng wouldn’t have had time to prepare. Right? So after thinking it over, I started suspecting you, Cui. How could… How could you suspect me of that?! How could I possibly harm you? That’s impossible. So, you see, as soon as Brother Cui mentioned it earlier, I figured it out. There’s absolutely no such thing. What did I say? Didn’t you tell me that Chen Gengsheng has been monitoring me all this time? If he can monitor me, he could also monitor you, Brother Cui. Yes, yes, exactly. That bastard Chen Gengsheng really deserves to die! Brother, it’s a good thing you’re a sensible person. The key. No worries. I understand your good intentions, Brother Cui. I know. I know you’re doing it for my sake. But, you see, firstly, keeping such critical evidence privately is too risky for you, Brother Cui. I can’t bear to let you take that burden. Secondly, this matter actually has nothing to do with me. My conscience is clear. Why complicate things unnecessarily? And if someone finds out, it might even give them gossip material. I’ve done nothing wrong, so why should I fear the knock of the ghost at my door? Brother, your words make me feel even more at ease now. So, I genuinely appreciate your kindness, Brother Cui. I truly understand. I’ll keep this matter close to my heart. I’ll head back to work for now. Once this is all over, I’ll treat you to a drink, Brother Cui. What? You had the nerve to make private arrangements behind my back? And now that it’s been exposed, what do you have to say for yourself? Director, I had no other choice! That woman, Kiko Hirata, has already started investigating us. I had to sacrifice the pawn to protect the king. Do you think if you don’t tell me, I won’t know for the rest of my life? How would I dare? I just want to help ease your worries. About the incident in the Inspection Office last time, regarding Lu Xijian, you were already quite upset. I just thought There’s no need to burden you with unnecessary worries. High-sounding words. A cover-up that only reveals more. Director. For no other reason. The brothers below are following us, risking their lives every second. I have to at least let them have a taste of the rewards. Can I let her have her way? It seems, Chief Cui, that you are truly just and impartial. All the fault is mine and mine alone. Please punish me, Director. Don’t play games with me. Concealing the truth, if you dare do it again… I swear, it won’t happen again! The method to deceive Hikiko Hirata was taught to you by Liang Shuo. Yes. Why would he help you? What exactly is he scheming? Director, Liang Shuo is loyal to the brothers. Shut up! Don’t talk to me about this disgusting brotherhood nonsense. Director, if you truly believe that Liang Shuo is still a suspect, then bring him here and confront him face-to-face! You. You! Hello, Director Liang. Director Liang, what brings you here? I need to see the Chief. Chief. Director Liang requests to see you. Please, come in. Chief. Shall I excuse myself first? Go ahead. Director Liang. Please, come in. Director Liang. Come. Have a seat. Thank you, Chief. I heard from Secretary Wang that you have something to report. Group Leader Chen installed unauthorized surveillance equipment at No. 76. And you, Chief, don’t seem to want to address it. But I’m not letting him off the hook. Liang Shuo. Your courage is growing by the day. What makes you think I don’t want to address it? Forgive me for being blunt. What’s the matter? Do you have some difficulty you can’t talk about? With all due respect, may I ask a question? All this time, how has my performance been at No. 76? You’ve always been my most dependable subordinate. No one even comes close. Then why, Chief, have you never trusted me? What are you talking about? If you trusted me, Chief, you wouldn’t have sent someone to test me, let alone have Group Leader Chen monitor me. Nonsense. Chen Gengsheng was monitoring you? That wasn’t my order. And you say I sent someone to test you? That’s completely unfounded. Disguising himself as a Chongqing operative to meet with me— wasn’t that done on your instruction, Chief? Of course not. I only found out about it today. I just learned about it today. So, in that case, it must have been Chen Gengsheng himself. You’ve got the wrong person. That’s right. At the banquet that day, this person was in the restroom. He said a bunch of nonsense to me. I always thought it was under the director’s instructions. So, that’s why you chose not to report it. If the director wanted to investigate me, how could I dare to stir up trouble? He claimed to have seen through the setup. I had no choice but to keep my head down and act obediently. Then why did you and Hideno Hirata go to the warehouse on Lianjia Alley at that time? I deserve punishment for trying to deceive the director. What do you mean? What I thought was, as long as I was with Director Hirata at that particular time, she would naturally help clear my name. Director Liang, you truly excel in cunning strategies. Quite a brilliant scheme indeed. Alright then, it was all just a misunderstanding. These past couple of days, because of this matter, I haven’t been able to sleep, tossing and turning. Until just now, when Director Cui brought up Chen Gengsheng spying on his subordinates, I finally gathered the courage to seek confirmation from you, Director. Don’t worry, once it’s confirmed that Chen Gengsheng is an anti-Japanese element, I will personally send him on his way. Director, what do you think? It seems, we really misunderstood Liang Shuo. He can be so composed about it. I really don’t think Liang Shuo is problematic. You, think so too? Yes. After being the Japanese lackeys for so many years, now they even want to scrape off the bone scraps from our mouths. This Hirata and Mizuno, they’re truly going too far. It seems, being overly loyal dogs, we can’t even hope for a sip of soup. Calm down, please. I will surely share your burdens. The anti-Japanese elements are directly targeting the Peace Conference. So, we still need to proceed cautiously. We absolutely cannot tie our safety and leverage, to the waistband of the Japanese. What about Liang Shuo? As the key candidate for the Peace Conference’s security, we need to assess him further. The appointment letter from the Central Executive Committee, has been issued. It’s not that simple. The position of the Special Inspectorate, is extremely delicate. It involves our strategic moves in the Peace Conference, and it serves as a kind of bridge. So, both Chairman Wang and the Japanese, want to choose someone who leans towards themselves. On our end, we need Director Ding’s approval. On the Japanese side, we need Mizuno Nobuhide’s endorsement. It’s truly complicated. This matter, needs further consideration. I’ll also be making further recommendations
to Director Ding. Furthermore, the person I initially recommended to the higher-ups, was you. But you, can’t even get along with the Japanese. How disappointing! It’s my incompetence. Forgive me. I still prefer to serve by your side, Director. I feel more at ease under your command. If you really need to contact me urgently in the future, place a pot of butterfly orchids on the balcony opposite the Special Agent Headquarters. Just do that to send a message. A critical intelligence agent was captured on the delivery route. It could compromise the entire operation. It’s highly likely he’ll reveal information about Operation Snowblind. How much does he know about the mission? Scorpion has arranged to meet you in the afternoon. Got it. You should head back first. Alright. The fact that you reached out to me on your own indicates that you have fully accepted your past identity Bringing this along is meant to remind me This was your previous secret code token Continuing to use it is to uphold tradition More importantly Maple Leaf is now my code name As always A red maple leaf means it’s safe If it’s yellow it means the meeting must be terminated immediately Your safety is now under my protection Our relationship before was I’m sorry I can only vaguely remember some of it It’s all in the past You requested this meeting Surely it’s not just to ask this I was just curious It’s okay if you forgot It’s not much more important than
what we’re already doing. It’s not that important. Wang Qiaosu has been arrested. What? Oh no. I’m now worried whether Wang Qiaosu knows about your existence. That’s exactly why I rushed to see you. The Japanese have long suspected there’s an infiltrator in No. 76. Right now, I have no idea how much Wang Qiaosu knows. But Mizuno Shingen will definitely arrange a meeting between Wang Qiaosu and Chen Gengsheng. If that’s really the case, then there’s no turning back. If I were Mizuno, I would confirm it this way too. Our advantage is that Wang Qiaosu won’t gain Mizuno’s trust in a short period of time. We just need to take advantage of this. The key point is to incite the Japanese to doubt Wang Qiaosu. That will turn things around. Have you already figured out what to do? There might be some risks involved. I need the organization’s help. Tell me your plan. I will report it to the organization. First, we must prevent the two from meeting. At the same time, we need to fabricate a connection between Chen Gengsheng and Wang Qiaosu, dragging Wang Qiaosu into the mess. How do we stop this? The hesitation of No. 76 towards Chen Gengsheng It also addresses my doubts. I need to regain the trust of Unit 76. While resolving the current troubles. Eliminate Chen Gengsheng, the cancer. Why not do it? I will report it immediately. But, But this plan is too big. We need Xie Jun’an to make it happen. Don’t worry. I will meet him right away. Xie Nianci has already passed along the message. Scorpio wants to meet me. You mentioned before, about Miss Xie’s situation, the organization is already aware of it. You don’t need to worry. Alright. Liang, Comrade Qingshuang, please be careful. By the way, you made a mistake earlier. What? You said that now, I have fully accepted my identity. Actually, I haven’t. I still just want to live a good life. The reason I was willing to meet you, whether it’s Maple Leaf or you, is simply because thinking of you both, makes me feel familiar and at ease. If this is something Maple Leaf must accomplish, I’m willing to do it for him. This is what I owe him. And this is also, my personal choice now. Mr. Wang, I heard that you’re quite good at Japanese. Yes. In the 11th year of the Taisho era, I studied in Japan. Oh, I see. Mr. Wang, have you ever had any prison experience? No, never. What a coincidence. It’s my first time too. First time for what? Where should I begin? How do you play this game? Officer, why don’t you give it a try? Go ahead.
