American Comics: BOSS Invasion

The tasks issued by the system are becoming increasingly incomprehensible, even having a second stage.

Judging by this situation, there should be more to come.

The ellipses of 'to be continued' are very thought-provoking.

Qi Shan was slightly speechless, but his heart was calm.

He originally wanted to stay in this plane for a while longer; he could skip other places, but he definitely had to see the Great Shanghai.

He wasn't really concerned about how Wang Dahua became a transmigrator; what he wanted to know now was, where exactly was Black Bear Ridge?

Had he known this would happen, he shouldn't have let Wang Dading go with her.

With him around, Wang Dahua would naturally come to his door.

Now, he could only rely on other methods!

Inside the office, Police Chief Dou Shixiao and Captain Ishihara stood before the desk, while Colonel Buyashita slowly paced back and forth.

His fists were clenched, and veins were bulging on his forehead, clearly suppressing his anger.

In addition, we found an external telephone in the Nanjing Chen brothers' room and a portable transmitter in the Russian's room."

Colonel Buyashita glared at Captain Ishihara and roared, "Is this the result of your previous search? People have disappeared into thin air! The Chen brothers and the Soviets actually have communication channels, and the news of our blockade and search of the Peace Hotel has been leaked!"

Dou Shixiao stubbornly argued, "Colonel, I said long ago that Chen Jiaying must be a Communist, but you just didn't believe me and insisted on defending her with her identity as a South Manchuria Railway secretary.

Now is not the time to pursue responsibility. She can escape from the Peace Hotel, but she can't escape from Changchun. As long as we block the train station and conduct a city-wide search, we will definitely be able to dig out the Communists."

Captain Ishihara hurriedly said, "Colonel, we must not act rashly. Changchun is different from other places. This is the capital of Manchuria. Blocking the train station will cause too much commotion.

Moreover, the inaugural ceremony of the Asia Express train is on the 27th, and there are only two days left. We can't guarantee that we can dig out the Communists within two days.

Furthermore, if the higher-ups find out that Chen Jiaying escaped from the Peace Hotel after we investigated her, I'm afraid we will be labeled as incompetent.

The South Manchuria Railway will not only not admit that Chen Jiaying has a problem, but may even turn around and drag the Kwantung Army into the vortex of internal strife again.

Now the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is pressing hard, and the disappearance of the Sato couple and the involvement of South Manchuria Railway secretaries may break the current balance at any time.

Why don't we..."

Captain Ishihara didn't say the rest, but everyone understood what he meant.

A glint flashed in Dou Shixiao's eyes, and before Colonel Buyashita could answer, he preemptively said, "No! We must find a way to solve the problem when it occurs. Covering it up is a sign of incompetence. Moreover, Chen Jiaying, as a secretary of the South Manchuria Railway, has transformed into a Communist. Does that mean that there are still Communists within the South Manchuria Railway?

We must investigate this matter thoroughly, otherwise, the consequences will be endless!"

The two Japanese were frightened into a cold sweat. Dou Shixiao's conclusion was terrifying.

If the Communists had infiltrated the intelligence agencies, then all the strategic deployments of the Kwantung Army would be known to the enemy, and then this war could not be fought.

Political donations, Communists, foreign spies, South Manchuria Railway, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kwantung Army.

These keywords constantly appeared in Colonel Buyashita's mind, intertwined like a tangled mess, leaving him clueless.

Should the blockade of the Peace Hotel be lifted, and how could this matter be concluded in a way that would save face for all countries?

Captain Ishihara said, "The trap should not be wasted any further. Communist personnel repeatedly create incidents outside. We should deal with that as soon as possible, and the affairs involving the hotel are not within the scope of the Purification Authority, so..."

At this moment, another soldier knocked on the door and entered, saluted, and reported, "Colonel, a call from the Kwantung Department, claiming that the American ambassador has protested and severely reprimanded us for detaining diplomatic personnel without reason.

The Kwantung Department ordered us to lift the blockade as soon as possible if the internal affairs of the hotel are not related to Communist personnel and to hand over the subsequent investigation authority to the South Manchuria Railway."

After speaking, the soldier saluted and walked out.

Captain Ishihara and Dou Shixiao were both staring at Colonel Buyashita, waiting for him to issue orders.

After a long while, Colonel Buyashita took a deep breath and suppressed his anger, saying in a hoarse voice, "Pass down the order to lift the hotel's blockade status. The military police will withdraw in small units and fully arrest Communist personnel.

Investigate the train station, docks, and all roads leading out of the city. Once suspicious persons are found, they can be arrested immediately, and if they resist, they will be executed immediately.

The police force will stand guard over the security incidents at the Peace Hotel and can announce the lifting of the blockade in one hour.

The police department will dispatch plainclothes teams to closely monitor the diplomatic personnel of various countries. If they find any abnormal behavior, they can be arrested directly.

Notify the South Manchuria Railway to send someone to take over the subsequent investigation of the hotel. I will personally report Chen Jiaying's matter to the Kwantung Department!"

"Yes!" x2

Captain Ishihara and Dou Shixiao saluted at the same time.

A few minutes later, the military police quickly withdrew, and a large number of police officers entered to take over.

Such a big commotion had already attracted the attention of the diplomatic personnel. This group of people gathered in the restaurant, whispering, all guessing what would happen next.

The spies from various countries showed a hint of a smile on their faces, both smug and fortunate.

Under their tacit cooperation, they finally deceived the Japanese.

"However, as diplomatic personnel, the military police must ensure your personal safety. Therefore, in the short term, there will be police personnel providing personal protection to everyone.

If there are any objections, you can contact Colonel Buyashita separately.

Finally, I wish you all a good mood!"

After speaking, Dou Shixiao lightly touched the brim of his hat and turned to leave.

The smiles on the faces of the diplomatic personnel instantly froze.

A lingering ghost!

The Japanese will not let it go.

The internal struggle between the Kwantung Army and the South Manchuria Railway (Mantetsu) organization wouldn't easily let go of such a significant loophole.

Using this as a breakthrough, the Kwantung Army might secure the right to independently investigate intelligence matters. This would mean the Kwantung Army's intelligence would no longer depend on the Mantetsu organization, granting it unparalleled autonomy, which would be an unimaginable advantage in war.

Although Chen Jiaying escaped, her identity as a Communist provided Colonel Bu Xia with a good move.

Qi Shan didn't care about what the Japanese were up to. After the blockade was lifted, Qi Shan told Senior Brother Dou and walked straight out of the Peace Hotel.

Qi Shan rode the police motorcycle back.

In his memory, Pei Qiucheng lived in an ordinary bungalow near Pinglu in the west of the city.

Besides a cold bed, there was only a Ba Xian table. The pots and pans in the kitchen were almost growing mold.

As a deputy police chief, Pei Qiucheng naturally had a lot of side income, but it was far less than the police chief's. Seeing Dou Shi Xiao rake in money, not only doing well in front of the Japanese, but also having a gentle wife and an obedient child.

Whether in family or career, Pei Qiucheng was very envious, which is why he had the idea of climbing up.

He always wanted to step on Dou Shi Xiao.

Unfortunately, he hadn't encountered a suitable opportunity until now.

Pei Qiucheng is actually a very simple person. He doesn't have the concept of loyalty. Whoever can give him enough benefits can be his dog.

Even if it's hard and tiring, he doesn't have a single complaint.

Qi Shan, however, wasn't interested in pretending to be that kind of person.

He was just borrowing an identity to participate in the plot, so there was no need to be so serious.

Qi Shan was more concerned about the mission issued by his system.

Dou Shi Xiao's wife was once kidnapped by bandits from Xiongxiaziling (Bear Ridge) for ransom. To raise 10,000 silver dollars, she took on heavy usurious loans and is still struggling to breathe under the pressure.

It was because of this incident that Pei Qiucheng specifically investigated Xiongxiaziling for a period of time.

And knew the location of Xiongxiaziling.

Qi Shan planned to take a trip to Xiongxiaziling to find Wang Dahua first.

But before that, he had to sort out the sand table in his body.

Since the last time he released his Nen ability, it had been nurtured for a while. In the Resident Evil world, some people were faintly generating Nen abilities.

The energy was very weak, but it was widely distributed, not only among humans, but even some zombies had undergone wonderful changes.

With this breakthrough, a portion of the abilities within Qi Shan's body could also be mobilized and used.

Qi Shan stretched out his right hand, the tips of his five fingers glowing slightly, and then five transparent filaments extended out, twisting to form a substantial needle!

Manipulation type, round-headed nail.

Qi Shan tilted his head, somewhat strangely.

Why did he awaken a Manipulation-type Nen ability, and this round-headed nail looks a bit familiar.

Whose ability is this?

Just as he was thinking, a car suddenly rushed out of the intersection. Qi Shan couldn't dodge in time and crashed into the car door, sending him flying.

Qi Shan somersaulted in the air and landed steadily on the ground. He slowly turned his head, and two people had already rushed out of the car.

It was Tang Ling and Wang Dading.

Each of them held a Wang Ba box (pistol) in their hands, the muzzles pointed at Qi Shan.

"We finally caught you, kid! Tell me, where did Chen Jiaying tell you to take her?" Wang Dading roared violently, stepping forward and pointing the gun directly at Qi Shan's temple, glaring fiercely, as if he would shoot directly if he dared to say a word of no.

Qi Shan shook his head: "I've already let you go, but you have to come back to die. Forget it, if that's the case, you can come with me!"

Wang Dading roared: "What nonsense are you talking about? The gun is in my hand, put your hands up!"

Tang Ling watched coldly, noticing that there was not a trace of fear on Qi Shan's face, and felt that something was wrong.

"Wang Dading, don't be impulsive. This is not the place to talk. Take Officer Qi into the car and find a place to discuss in detail!"

"Did you hear that? According to my idea, I don't care about anything else, I'll break one of your legs first, but who told the Communists to be soft-hearted and have to give you a chance to explain.

Get in the car quickly, be honest, dare to play tricks, and I'll shoot you!"

As he spoke, Wang Dading kept smashing the gun on top of Qi Shan's head.

Qi Shan was expressionless, and suddenly shot out and grabbed the gun.

Qi Shan's movements were as fast as lightning, and Wang Dading didn't even react. He only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and his hand was empty.

When he looked up again, the roles of host and guest had been reversed.

Qi Shan fiddled with the pistol, pointing the muzzle at Wang Dading: "Has anyone told you that when threatening someone, you must be one step away, put your center of gravity on your back foot, and hold the gun with both hands, so as to prevent it from being snatched!"

Wang Dading choked, glared and said: "Kill me if you want, why so much nonsense!"

Qi Shan was too lazy to pay attention to him, and ignored Tang Ling's muzzle, turned his head and looked at the motocross motorcycle, the front of the car was twisted out of shape, obviously it couldn't be driven.

Wang Dading glared, his neck stiff, looking unconvinced, obviously he was willing to go all out for Chen Jiaying.

Qi Shan was too lazy to explain anything to him, and directly chopped him on the neck, knocking him unconscious.

He opened the car door and threw Wang Dading into the back seat, then turned to Tang Ling and said: "Don't stand there, Chen Jiaying is fine, I have already sent her away. After this exposure, she will not show up for at least half a year. You can directly report the situation to your direct superior, and don't stay in Changchun anymore, something big is likely to happen!"

Tang Ling frowned: "Who exactly are you?"

"Give me the car, I have to go to Xiongxiaziling!"

Qi Shan didn't answer his question, got into the car directly, simply adapted to the operating habits after starting the fire, and drove the car away.

Tang Ling was stunned for a moment and shouted: "This car belongs to Xiong Jindou. Wang Dading stole his car and has already angered Boss Xiong. Now his men are looking for him all over the city, so be careful!"

A hand stretched out of the window and waved, and the car disappeared from Tang Ling's sight after turning a corner.

Tang Ling pondered for a while and put away the gun.

This matter was too strange, but escaping from the Peace Hotel was an ironclad fact.

In his opinion, Chen Jiaying's disappearance was not a big deal.

Hiding their identities is the housekeeping skill of those who work underground. Moreover, Chen Jiaying did expose her identity this time, and hiding for a period of time also conforms to the work process.

Perhaps Chen Jiaying will send a message after a while.

Although he wanted to know the truth from Qi Shan's mouth, the other party obviously didn't mean to say it.

So in this regard, he needs to consider it carefully.
