Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police

Chapter 1136 Xu Tian's Cousin!

"Eliminate the rebels?"

There are many resistance fighters in Shanghai, so why don't you arrest those journalists in the foreign concessions who publish anti-Japanese articles all day long?

Why not touch those merchants who secretly send money and medicine to the Chinese army?

Nanzo Yunzi already warned you! How dare you lay a hand on our people! And even arrested them!

"Have you had enough of living?! Or are you, Kagesa Yoshiaki, disregarding our Military Police Headquarters?!"

"I...I didn't!" Kagesa Tsuneaki trembled with fear.

He anticipated that arresting Xu Tian might mean losing the student he valued and hoped would work for him!

But little did he expect that the one who would ultimately kill him would be Shen Suqiu! Xu Tian's cousin!

Despite Nanzo Yunzi's warning, his own damned curiosity, coupled with his belief that he could hide the truth, ultimately led to his own demise!

"Things have come to this point, you know in your heart what the outcome will be."

Yudai Itai bent down, leaning close to Yoshiaki Kagesa, his voice low but filled with chilling murderous intent: "Lieutenant Colonel Kagesa, tell me, if I were to accuse you and your incompetent subordinates of colluding with anti-Japanese elements and smuggling weapons to the enemy, and have you 'commit suicide' here out of fear of punishment..."

Won't those people in the military feel heartbroken?

Would he risk a complete falling out with General Takasaki and the entire military police system for the sake of a few "traitorous" subordinates?

Haruki Yoshihisa's pupils suddenly contracted; he saw undisguised murderous intent in Itai Yudai's eyes.

This madman! This spoiled brat from the Itai family in Kyoto, he really dares to do that!

A chill rose from Qing Qiqingyin's tailbone, instantly freezing his blood.

He realized that he might really die at the hands of this mad dog, in this dark basement, without knowing why.

I'm truly innocent!

After establishing the Kagesa Agency, I've been busy sorting out intelligence from all sides in Shanghai. I have no idea what Kagesa Yoshiaki and Hase Tenten have been up to!

But in the end, he was implicated to the point of being secretly disposed of! He was so unwilling to accept it!

"No...you can't..." Qingqi Qingyin's voice began to tremble.

“I can.” Yudai Itai straightened up, took out a snow-white handkerchief, and slowly wiped the bloodstains from the short whip, as if admiring a work of art.

“In Kyoto, if I want to kill someone, very few of them will live to see the next sunrise.”

The same applies in Shanghai.

He turned around and ordered a sergeant next to him, "Go and 'serve' those useless guys from the Shadow Agency next door, and make them put their fingerprints on the confession."

Remember, make sure they press it "willingly."

His tone was calm, but it sent a chill down the sergeant's spine, and he quickly bowed, saying, "Yes, sir! Don't worry, section chief!"

Watching the sergeant leave, Yudai Itai walked to a relatively clean table in the corner of the room, sat down, lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and a sinister thought flashed across his acne-covered face amidst the swirling smoke.

Shen Suqiu!! And her cousin! What should we do?!

Shen Suqiu clearly learned about her alleged Japanese Communist identity from Ye Runqing! What a nuisance! Maybe we should just deal with her as well!

Thinking of Ye Runqing, and the woman who died in his arms, Itai Yudai froze for a moment, as if the past scene were playing out before his eyes again.

The thought of getting rid of Shen Suqiu and Xu Tian was suppressed.

"Section Chief! Section Chief!" A subordinate rushed in and whispered a few words in Itai Yudai's ear.

Yudai Itai frowned: "Prince Asaka Yasuhiko? Why would he suddenly come to Shanghai? Shouldn't he have taken a ship directly to Nanjing?"

"I don't know, but His Highness's special ship 'Yunhe Maru' has arrived at Huishan Wharf. His Highness sent someone to tell you, Section Chief, to immediately lead people to the wharf to welcome it, without fail."

Prince Asaka Yasuhiko, a member of the Japanese Imperial Family, is currently the Commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army. He holds a prestigious and extraordinary position.

Even someone as domineering as Itagaki Yuta dared not show the slightest negligence.

More importantly, Prince Asaka Yasuhiko had just met with the general in Tianjin, and his sudden arrival in Shanghai this time was probably not just a routine inspection.

Itai Yudai made quick calculations in his mind.

Although the matter of Kagesa Yoshiaki is important, it can only be put aside for the time being compared to welcoming His Highness the Prince.

He glanced at the dying Kagesa Tsuneaki and Haruki Yoshitaka on the rack and snorted coldly, "Consider yourselves lucky to live a little longer!"

"Get him sorted out, make sure he doesn't die. I'll give him a proper 'welcome' when I get back." With that, he straightened his uniform, put on his cap, and strode out.

"Gather together! Head to the dock!"

Huishan Wharf was heavily guarded, with Japanese marines and military police stationed every three steps and sentries every five steps, keeping the wharf area under strict control.

Warships and transport ships of all sizes were moored on the river, but the most eye-catching was a medium-sized steamship, the "Unhe Maru," whose decorations were significantly more elaborate than those of the other ships, as it slowly approached the shore.

Yudai Itai, accompanied by a team of elite military police, stood ramrod straight and solemn beside the berth at the dock, a stark contrast to the tyrannical interrogator he had just encountered in the basement.

He wondered why Prince Asaka Yasuhiko had specifically requested him, a mere lieutenant section chief, to pick him up.

Conventionally, at the very least, the commander of the Third Fleet or the consul general should have come forward.

The ship came to a stop and the gangway was lowered.

First to disembark were His Highness the Prince's guards and attendants, followed by Prince Asaka Yasuhiko, dressed in a crisp military uniform with gleaming epaulettes, who appeared at the ship's side.

Yuta Itai immediately stepped forward and saluted in the most standard posture: "Lieutenant Yuta Itai, Chief of the Intelligence Section of the Military Police Headquarters, is here to greet Your Highness! Your Highness must be tired from your journey!"

Prince Asaka Yasuhiko nodded slightly, his gaze lingering for a moment on Itai Yūdai's face, his eyes deep and seemingly able to see through people's hearts.

He did not speak immediately, but instead walked down the gangway and onto the dock, surrounded by his guards.

Several senior staff officers and civil servants accompanied him.

“Lieutenant Itai,” Prince Asaka Yasuhiko spoke, his voice low, “you haven’t changed a bit since leaving Kyoto. How have you fared, being under house arrest by Matsui Iwane for so long?”

"Your Highness, all is well," Itai Yudai replied respectfully.

"Hmm." Prince Asaka Yasuhiko nodded, seemingly just asking casually. He strode forward, and Itai Yudai quickly followed, lagging behind by half a step.

Once in the car, Prince Asaka Yasuhiko left Yudai Itai behind to accompany him.

While riding his bicycle, Prince Asaka Yasuhiko said calmly, "Lieutenant Itai, I heard that you and Kagesa Yoshiaki have had some unpleasantness lately?"

Itai Yudai's heart suddenly trembled!

He immediately straightened up and explained, "Your Highness, please understand! It was the Shadow Agency that overstepped its bounds first, disrupting an important military police operation and causing damage to the Empire's interests. I was merely acting in accordance with the law..."
