Genius Agent

Chapter 95 There really is a traitor.

"Compile a complete list of all those who know the truth."

Sato spoke slowly, and his subordinates felt a chill. Did their leader really suspect there was a mole?

If that's the case, everyone in the Special Higher School will have a tough time from now on.

Sato dismissed his men and rubbed his head.

There were indeed quite a few people in the class who knew they were on a mission, but most of them were concentrated in the intelligence and operations groups.

The two groups of people lived together in the same dormitory, and they communicated the most during that time.

Insiders can be divided into several categories.

First, there must be someone who is fully informed and knows everything about the field staff. Such people are extremely rare; besides him, there is only Endo.

Sato trusts Endo and wouldn't really suspect Endo.

Secondly, a few people know where they went and what they did on field missions, but they don't know the specific location or task.

Those who know these things are mostly in the intelligence group.

Finally, they knew the intelligence team was on a mission, but they didn't know where they were or what the mission was.

These types of people are in action groups and other groups.

Sato's biggest worry is that there really is a mole, and that such a mole is within the intelligence group, as this would pose the greatest threat to them.

He had his men collect the list, not to launch an immediate investigation.

Everything will have to wait for news from inside the Shanghai station and for permission from the section chief before the investigation can continue.

He now hopes that the team member had an accident that Cao Lijun discovered.

However, this possibility is really slim.

The people monitoring and investigating Cao Lijun were divided into three locations, and all three locations were attacked simultaneously. The special agents were also exceptionally ruthless.

It was obvious that they knew everything about them beforehand and acted suddenly, which is why none of his men were able to return.

Sato didn't want any traitors within the intelligence group, but if there were any, he would definitely not let them go.

The next day at noon, news came from inside the Shanghai Railway Station.

According to an inside report, Cao Lijun and his men left in a hurry the day before yesterday.

It's unclear what he did exactly, but he looked terrible when he left.

Another insider reported that Cao Lijun received a total of four phone calls the day before yesterday, three of which were from internal sources and the South City, and the other was from within the International Settlement.

The insider wasn't high-ranking, but he was in the telecommunications group, so he was able to find out these things.

The two informants are not high-ranking and can only provide this much information at the moment. If they need more detailed information, they need to be given time.

"Make them stop the investigation."

Sato decisively gave the order; these two pieces of intelligence were enough for him to confirm that someone had tipped off Cao Lijun.

The way the message was delivered was most likely through that phone call.

Regardless of what was said to Cao Lijun over the phone, Cao Lijun later found his people and suddenly took action yesterday.

There is a traitor. There really is a traitor.

"Section Chief, this is what happened. I suspect there's a mole within the section."

Sato went to the section chief's office and gave a detailed report. Saito's face was cold. He was a veteran spy who had been in the business for many years. Before Sato finished speaking, he knew that there must be a traitor in the section.

This incident was indeed the work of an inside traitor, causing them significant losses.

"Since there's a traitor, find him and investigate. Whoever it is, we must catch him."

Saito waved his hand, while Sato bowed his head and said, "Yes, Section Chief. Don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations this time."

Finding an inside traitor is always the most troublesome thing. If the traitor is inside, and he makes a big fuss about it, it can easily cause panic.

When investigating traitors, it is usually done in secret.

Sato was no exception; he led his trusted aides on the investigation without letting anyone else know that they had begun investigating the mole.

The first thing is the telephone.

Having the number made things much easier; Sato quickly located the phone's location, which turned out to be a public phone.

The call was made the day before yesterday afternoon. In the short time that followed, Sato personally led a team to visit the surrounding area and quickly obtained an important clue.

The day before yesterday afternoon, a woman wearing a green cheongsam made a phone call here.

It was a very short time; he hung up the phone and left.

woman?

There are women in the Special Higher Police, but most of them are in other groups, such as the Telecommunications Group. The total number of women in the Special Higher Police is not large.

However, it is not necessary for the person to be present when transmitting information; others can do the same thing.

As a result, Sato could no longer only investigate those who had gone out the day before yesterday; he had to include all those who knew about it in the investigation, which greatly increased his workload.

"Investigate immediately and find this woman at all costs."

Having identified his target, Sato immediately decided to conduct a thorough investigation into this woman.

It's actually quite simple to interview and investigate ordinary Chinese people. Just bring some cigarettes and other small items, or some spare change, and offer them a little something extra, and you can get the information you want.

His men found out in just two hours that a woman had just rented a house here.

According to eyewitness accounts, the height, build, and the color and style of the clothes worn all match.

It's almost certain that it's the same person.

Arriving outside the house rented by Kato Ken, Sato narrowed his eyes. This woman was highly suspicious. If they could catch her, they could basically find out who the mole was.

"Team leader, we've checked. That woman isn't home. The neighbors say they haven't seen her come back in the last two days."

"Hasn't been back for two days?"

Sato was somewhat surprised. The woman had just rented a house here, so why had she been missing for two days? Where had she gone?

If you're not going to live here, why rent a place here?

The apartment the woman rented was very nice, but the price wasn't low.

After thinking for a moment, Sato whispered, "Try to get inside the house and take a look."

"Yes, team leader."

Two subordinates accepted the order. Both were Sato's trusted confidants and people he completely trusted. They also had the ability to pick locks and enter other people's houses.

One person kept watch, while the other went to unlock the door.

The door was opened shortly afterward. Sato carefully observed the area around the door frame before going inside.

Leaving no trace during a search is a fundamental skill for spies, especially for undercover agents who must be proficient in this area.

Sato is the deputy head of the intelligence team, a professional agent, and has absolute confidence in his skills.

It was indeed a woman's residence, and there was a faint fragrance inside.

There weren't many clothes in the wardrobe, but there were still a few pieces.

Including underwear.

All the clothes were red and felt very soft to the touch.

The woman hadn't been there long and didn't have much stuff, but he found a comic book in the pocket of one of her coats.

The Japanese comic book tells the story of a general in ancient Japan.

"camera."

After thinking for a moment, Sato didn't touch the book. Instead, he had his subordinate hand him a camera and took pictures of the comic book, photographing every single page.

Sato discovered an important clue inside.

There was a handwritten note in Japanese above, a commentary on this page of the story, which shows that the author really liked the book.

There were reviews on five pages in total, all of them positive.

"Keep an eye on this place. If the woman returns, notify me immediately. Also, find the landlord and ask him for the woman's name."

After inspecting the entire house, Sato ordered his subordinates that the woman was a prime suspect. Their identities were still unknown, but Sato believed that once she showed herself, she would be unable to escape his capture.
