Chapter 464: Chapter 217: Stage Mechanisms_2

After waiting for fifteen minutes, he finally returned to the office with a stack of documents.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.” Hao Tongxi placed the documents in front of the three of them, “You are all the finest officers of the Xia Kingdom, and should be well aware of the basic laws and regulations. These are your targets for protection and collaboration on this mission, classified as ’Confidential’. Open it and have a look!”

Gao Bo and Gu Ji exchanged a glance. Seeing Gu Ji pick up the file without hesitation, Gao Bo also followed suit and tore open the seal.

The documents contained detailed information about the 9.12 Lianzhou kidnapping case and the current progress, along with the personal information of three foreign-deployed detectives.

Gao Bo and Wu Kang couldn’t help but widen their eyes.

Because the photos of these three detectives were of Shi Zhengmin, Zeng Dan, and Chen Zhiyu from the Ningzhou National Security Bureau, albeit under new identities: Xu Liang, Qiao Xiaoxue, and Qiou Shiyu.

Although Gu Ji was aware of the outcome, he feigned surprise by slightly parting his lips to avoid drawing attention.

Being from the police system, Wu Kang and Gao Bo quickly caught on.

They now understood that their deployment to protect the National Security Special Service was likely connected to the final act of capturing Sun Hengfei and Zhao Wenwu!

“Have you all finished reading? Remember the confidentiality regulations. There are some laws from Japan on the documents that you need to remember, but don’t worry. During this period, Lang Shaobo will temporarily be your driver and translator. He will convey the key points to you.”

Hao Tongxi crossed his hands on the table, displaying a friendly demeanor without any change in tone.

It seemed he was not aware of Zeng Dan and the others’ true identities, and probably didn’t know as much as Gu Ji and the team.

Indeed.

The fewer the people who know about such things, the better.

“Understood, Mr. Hao, we will definitely complete the mission entrusted by the organization!”

“Good.”

After leaving the office, Gao Bo grabbed Gu Ji’s shoulder. From the strength of his grip, it was clear the guy was filled with questions and a bit of nervousness.

After all, they were just regular special forces and had never dealt with intelligence work, especially foreign intelligence.

Gu Ji squinted and subtly shook his head, signaling Gao Bo and Wu Kang not to ask too much.

Subsequently, Lang Shaobo took the three back to the car, fastening his seatbelt while speaking, “Currently, Mr. Xu and his team are monitoring near the port. Since Xia Kingdom officers don’t have jurisdiction in Japan, any reconnaissance or investigation must be conducted in the presence of Japanese police.”

The person responsible for this case is Jingshang Gaoming from the Criminal Division’s First Investigation Division of the Police Headquarters. He is quite skilled, previously an elite of the mobile search unit, with unmatched maneuverability and athletic capability, and exceptional investigative skills. Although he claims not to speak the Xia language, please be mindful of how you communicate.”

“Don’t worry.”

Gu Ji nodded.

The so-called “mobile search unit” is somewhat like an elite version of detective officers, positioned between the major crime unit and special forces, possessing both investigative experience and combat capabilities.

Since Jingshang Gaoming is deemed an elite in the mobile search unit, it indeed indicates his proficiency.

It seems Japan is quite cautious about Xia Kingdom officers investigating on their turf, hence assigning a proficient individual to “oversee” them.

It takes about an hour to get from Tokyo to Yokohama.

Upon arrival at the port, it was already nearing noon.

As a famous commercial port in Japan, Yokohama Port was bustling, with the booming sounds of ship horns incessantly echoing, and an endless flow of cargo ships and cranes transporting colorful containers that appeared to be assembling a giant Lego set.

Gu Ji was not unfamiliar with the scene before him.

Since during the virus blockade at the cruise ship, he had already visited Yokohama Port.

Lang Shaobo parked the car behind a black Mitsubishi SUV near the port, where the front and rear doors opened simultaneously, and out stepped the three of them: Chen Zhiyu and company.

It had been a while, and this girl’s hair had grown quite a bit, styled into a high ponytail, wearing a yellow windbreaker, blue jeans, and high-top casual boots—transforming her previous youthful and charming look into a gentle, big-sisterly vibe, apparently dressing more maturely.

Zeng Dan and Shi Zhengmin also donned dark gray and brown workwear.

Having mentally prepared themselves in advance, the six met and exchanged casual greetings.

Chen Zhiyu extended her hand, feigning unfamiliarity, with a slight upward curve of her eyes, and a polite smile.

“Hello, Officer Gu, I will be relying on you from now on.”

“No need for formality, Officer Qiou.”

Gu Ji didn’t expect Chen Zhiyu to be such a good actress; had he not seen that face for over ten years, he might have mistaken her for someone else.

At this moment, footsteps could be heard approaching.

A young man in dark blue police uniform, with a tall stance and neatly parted three-seven hair, approached. Despite his beaming smile, he gave off an unapproachable aura, somewhat reminiscent of Wu Kang back in the day.

“This is Officer Jingshang…”

Lang Shaobo spoke up, introducing Gu Ji and the others in Japanese again.

“Hello, welcome to Japan, officers,” Jingshang Gaoming smiled and offered his hand, speaking in English.

When Lang Shaobo wasn’t around, Zeng Dan, Chen Zhiyu, and their team communicated with the Japanese police officer in English.

After the formalities,

Shi Zhengmin finally inquired about serious matters, “I heard you encountered an intense gunfight on your way from the airport to the hotel last night?”

“That’s right.”

Gu Ji briefly recounted the events of last night and emphasized, “The shooter in the alley targeting might have been female, dressed in black tight attire, with visible curves on the chest and hips, and a slender build. However, a male in disguise can’t be ruled out.”

“Her shooting was exceptionally steady, firing only one shot at the gang member, seemingly intending to inflict serious injury and control those thugs. The muzzle was equipped with a flash suppressor, but I couldn’t discern the specific firearm model. The escape vehicle was a modified Yamaha racing motorcycle.”

“Among the assailed thugs, the lead thug was quite burly, with a possible leg injury. He fled in a Lexus sedan shortly after entering the alley.”

While he spoke, Lang Shaobo translated for Jingshang Gaoming.

Although Shi Zhengmin was already aware of Gu Ji’s capabilities, he was still astonished by his control over these investigative details.

“Clap clap clap!” Jingshang Gaoming clapped his hands, unable to contain his laughter, “Impressive, truly impressive. They say Xia Kingdom’s special police are the nemesis of terrorists. Who would’ve thought they are so adept at investigations too!”

“You’ve flattered me, Officer Jingshang.”

Shi Zhengmin discerned the subtext, knowing that Gu Ji was being scrutinized, suspecting his identity as a special operative.

The truth is, even among Xia Kingdom’s special forces, Gu Ji’s skills are unparalleled.

“So, based on your assessment, it was gang-related murders. Tomorrow is the funeral of the sixth leader of the Yijuan Association, and all the heads of sub-organizations and gangs across Japan will be present. Who knows what bloody storm it might stir up.”

“Officer Xu, are there any leads on the kidnapping case?”

Gu Ji was most concerned about the mission objective now.

Not just to complete the game, but also to help Jian Na reunite with her family soon.

Chen Zhiyu shook her head, “In fact, internal conflicts and violent uprisings in Japan’s underground world had already escalated before the death of Yijuan Association’s sixth leader. To avoid becoming collateral damage, various factions ceased operations and went into hiding. This organization we are tracing, the Fusong Gang, has not shown itself for over half a month.”

At this moment,

A man in a brown hoodie suddenly appeared in the container area at the port, aimlessly roaming around the unloading zone.

Zeng Dan narrowed her eyes, “That guy is here again…”
