Chapter 73 Unexpected Discovery
Chapter 73 Unexpected Discovery
The children's screams and the pleas for mercy from the roadside only made the Japanese soldiers laugh triumphantly.
They are not human, they are worse than animals.
Normal human beings could not commit such atrocities.
Su Yuncheng's body swayed in the air, his field of vision wide open, allowing him to see even more horrific scenes.
He wanted to close his eyes and not see this hell on earth, but he couldn't. He was like a ghost floating in the air, watching one of his compatriots after another die tragically in front of him.
This is not a real dream, this is the future, something that will happen in the future. Su Yuncheng's heart was bleeding, and he was filled with anger.
He had previously seen many critical articles in the newspapers, saying how cruel the Japanese were in Northeast China.
But at that time he didn't have an intuitive feeling.
This moment was different; he witnessed firsthand the atrocities committed by the Japanese and saw this ancient capital ravaged.
The souls of those compatriots who died tragically gather in the sky.
They were shouting; they were angry.
The dream didn't last long. Su Yuncheng suddenly sat up and found himself in a hotel bed. This was the first time he had entered a dream about the future while away from home.
It was already daylight when Su Yuncheng got up and opened the curtains.
Even after waking up, the anger in his heart had not disappeared.
Having spent four years in Japan, he understands the Japanese character very well. The dream is real, and it will definitely happen in the future.
He wanted to change things, but he was all alone and powerless to do so.
Taking a deep breath, Su Yuncheng opened the thermos and poured out a cup of hot water. It was already late March, and the weather was warming up.
But the real winter for this city is not far off.
Su Yuncheng had dreamt of it before, and the book recorded that a great battle was coming next year, and this city would fall by the end of next year.
That scene, filled with the smoke of war, will likely take place at the end of next year.
After checking the time, Su Yuncheng opened his suitcase and changed his clothes.
He deliberately put on a beard and drew on some wrinkles to make himself look like he was in his forties.
The clothes she wore also suited her to be in her forties.
"Go to Jiming Lane."
Having calculated the time, Su Yuncheng went out and hailed a rickshaw. He had two things to do in Nanjing: one was to buy a camera, and the other was to see Boss Dai and ask him to stop bothering him with fortune telling.
His original plan was to buy the camera first and then do this thing, but last night's dream made him change his plans.
He needs to go to the secret service first.
Regardless of the circumstances, the Special Service Department, which was later known as the Military Intelligence Bureau, did achieve results and make contributions in the fight against the Japanese.
The fact that future generations of Chinese can offer such an objective evaluation proves that they did indeed do these things.
"Who are you looking for?"
Upon arriving at the entrance of the secret service office, the sentry immediately stopped him.
"I'm looking for Boss Dai."
Su Yuncheng said calmly, and the sentry, a little confused upon hearing the name, asked, "Who is Boss Dai?"
The title "Boss Dai" appears multiple times in the book, but at this time very few people address him that way; he is usually referred to as "Senior Director."
"Your department head."
Su Yuncheng replied, and the sentry immediately widened his eyes, looking at Su Yuncheng in disbelief.
"Go and announce it. You can find Qi, the secretary, or just say that the fortune teller has arrived."
Su Yuncheng replied directly, without going into details. He explained that he had dressed up deliberately today because he didn't want to be recognized.
As it turned out, what he did was necessary.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Seeing Su Yuncheng so calm, the sentry didn't dare to delay and hurriedly made a phone call. He ran over shortly afterward.
"Sir, please."
They couldn't contact the clerk directly, but they could contact Secretary Qi. Following Su Yuncheng's instructions, they told him that the fortune teller had arrived, and Secretary Qi immediately told them to be polite and to lead the person into the reception room.
"Sir, the sentry at the gate just called to say that the fortune teller has arrived."
Secretary Qi went directly into the office and reported to the department head.
"Character divination, Su Yuncheng?"
The sergeant looked surprised, while Secretary Qi nodded: "That's right, the sentry said he was looking for Boss Dai, that's how he addressed you before."
"Let's go, let's go over there."
The clerk immediately stood up. Two days ago, Shen Mozhou called back to say that Su Yuncheng had not agreed to come to Nanjing. How come he has arrived now?
What is Shen Mozhou up to? The section chief was a little dissatisfied.
This time he really wronged Shen Mozhou. Su Yuncheng did not agree; he came on his own. Shen Mozhou was just reporting the truth.
"Director, Secretary Qi."
The sentry had just led Su Yuncheng to the reception room when he saw the two approaching and hurriedly stood up straight and saluted.
Who exactly is this person who has come to receive the Chief of Staff personally?
Fortunately, he hadn't been disrespectful before, otherwise he would have been in big trouble this time.
"Who is this?"
The director glanced at Su Yuncheng, quite surprised. Secretary Qi narrowed his eyes; the person in front of him seemed somewhat familiar, and he noticed that Su Yuncheng's appearance was somewhat unusual.
The sentry froze, startled, as if the commander didn't recognize him.
If something goes wrong, he won't just be in trouble, he'll be finished.
"Boss Dai, it's been a long time."
Su Yuncheng spoke first, and upon hearing his voice, Boss Dai's face showed surprise. Secretary Qi immediately understood that Su Yuncheng was pretending.
Su Yuncheng is really cautious, but they are a special department, so it's understandable that they do this.
"Sir, please come in."
Secretary Qi took the initiative to say that Su Yuncheng had come in disguise, and he didn't even include his surname when he addressed him.
"You should go back now. Today's events must be kept strictly confidential."
After inviting Su Yuncheng, Secretary Qi gave instructions to the sentry. The sentry, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon, hurriedly nodded: "Yes, today's matter must be kept strictly confidential."
After saying that, he left quickly. In that less than a minute, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"Mr. Su, what brings you here?"
Upon entering the reception room, Secretary Qi personally brewed tea, while Su Yuncheng removed his disguise and revealed his true colors.
"The situation here is complicated, and my identity is special. I don't want to be discovered, so please understand."
"I understand, I understand. I was very sorry to hear the other day that you were unable to come. How come you arrived today?"
The section chief chuckled and said, "It's good that Su Yuncheng is here. This time, we must find a way to help him find the person, no matter what."
"I came to Nanjing to buy some things, and I stopped by here on the way."
Su Yuncheng originally intended to completely thwart their idea of having him tell fortunes, but last night's dream changed his mind, along with the unexpected discovery today.
"I see. It's a pleasure to have Mr. Su visit the Special Service."
The director chuckled in response. Secretary Qi had brewed the tea and brought it over, while the director gave him a wink.
Secretary Qi immediately understood what the director meant and said softly, "Mr. Su, Shen Mozhou must have already told you. We know that you can only count one person and one matter once, but that Japanese spy is too deeply entrenched and he is very dangerous. We hope that Mr. Su can help us one more time."
"If he's really no good, then if you trust me, you can tell me the whole investigation process. Also, let me interrogate Morita, the one who was arrested."
Su Yuncheng decided to help them find the Japanese spy lurking in Nanjing and, incidentally, eliminate two potential threats they noticed along the way.
As soon as he entered the intelligence service's area, someone noticed him.
Judging from the other party's emotions, they were suspicious, wary, and hostile—emotions that are not typical of ordinary people.
He is not a member of the Red Party.
