Chapter 1 Train Arrest
Summer 1936, on a train from Shanghai to Nanjing.
Shen Yi was currently flipping through a copy of the magazine "Fine Arts," which focused on Western art, such as sketching and anatomy.
The paintings inside weren't complicated, at least in Shen Yi's opinion; they were alright for relieving boredom when he was bored.
After turning the last page, he put down the magazine and casually looked around.
Although it was casual, he had already seen what he wanted to see.
The target's behavior is normal, and they should not yet be aware that they are being monitored.
In his previous life, he was a portrait artist in the police force, so capturing details was a basic skill for him.
That's right, Shen Yi is a time traveler.
During a crime scene investigation, he happened to encounter the suspect and was shot in the head, which brought him to the present day.
At that time, the original owner had just graduated from Zhejiang Police Academy and was on the train back to Shanghai when Shen Yi took over her body.
After transmigrating, Shen Yi absorbed the memories of his predecessor and learned that he was still called Shen Yi.
Shen Yi is 23 years old this year. He has just graduated from the special training class of Zhejiang Police Academy and has been assigned to work at the Jinling Special Service Department.
He was supposed to go directly to Nanjing after graduation, but because he wanted to visit his family, Shen Yi went back to Shanghai first.
This power is not something everyone has, all because Shen Yi has another identity.
The adopted son of Shen Jiuling, a senior figure in the Shanghai Green Gang known as the "Tong" generation.
Shen Jiuling was a detective in the French Concession Police Station in Shanghai, and also had close ties with high-ranking members of the Kuomintang.
Shen Yi, as Shen Jiuling's adopted son, was personally selected by Dai Chunfeng to enter the Special Service Department, and was allowed to return home to visit his family after graduation.
After his visit to his family ended, Shen Yi planned to go to Jinling to report for duty. However, just before he was about to leave, he received a call from Dai Chunfeng, who said that there was an operation that required Shen Yi's participation.
Shen Yi was not surprised that Dai Chunfeng knew the exact time he would return to Jinling; he assumed that Shen Jiuling had told him.
He then gave Shen Yi the code word and told him to meet the other party at the train station. He would only know the details of the operation at that time.
After memorizing the contact's characteristics, Shen Yi went to the train station the next morning and successfully met with Lin Jiang, the leader of the first group of the Special Operations Section. Lin Jiang also told him the specific mission—to capture Japanese spies.
Lin Jiang only told Shen Yi that the target of this operation, Tian Sihua, would be met on the train, at which time the action team would make the arrest, and his main task was to help during the arrest.
Commonly known as being a laborer.
However, Lin Jiang's attitude towards him was quite good, which was probably because he was arranged to be here by Dai Chunfeng.
The operations department mobilized a lot of people for this mission, and they had already locked onto a target, so the probability of failure was very small. Therefore, Shen Yi was basically here to take credit for the mission.
Anyone with a brain could see that Dai Chunfeng was taking special care of him.
This is the advantage of having a background. Shen Yi couldn't help but sigh that his identity after transmigrating was quite good, which would save him a lot of effort in his future work.
In his previous life, Shen Yi was a member of the Communist Party and had his own beliefs. After arriving in this era, he firmly set his goal as to save the country!
Shen Yi is now considered a member of the Special Service Department, and he can use his experience from his previous life to do something for his goals on the enemy's rear battlefield.
Lin Jiang came out of the restroom and sat down opposite Shen Yi.
He had just glanced at Tian Sihua and found her reading a newspaper, with nothing unusual about her.
He glanced at the magazine Shen Yi had placed on the table, casually flipped through it, and immediately turned to the page with a picture of a beautiful woman.
"I didn't expect someone as refined as you to enjoy this kind of thing," Lin Jiang said as he admired it.
"Looking at paintings all the time is so boring. When we get to Nanjing, I'll show you around."
Seeing Lin Jiang's lewd grin, Shen Yi knew that the other man was trying to get close to him, after all, he was someone who was personally taken care of by Dai Chunfeng.
"If Brother Lin wants to have some fun, I know a few good places. I'll take you there," Shen Yi said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiang's opinion of Shen Yi immediately changed. When he first met Shen Yi, he thought he was a somewhat arrogant rich kid, but it turned out they were kindred spirits.
Moreover, judging from this, Shen Yi still has some connections in Jinling.
"Haha, then thank you, brother," Lin Jiang said with a smile.
"We're almost at Jinling!" a female flight attendant called out.
Lin Jiang frowned upon hearing this, then raised his hand to look at his watch.
"We're almost at Jinling, and these bastards are still pretty calm," Lin Jiang muttered under his breath.
The train started in Shanghai and ended in Nanjing, but Tian Sihua has shown no signs of distress and has not even left her seat.
However, Lin Jiang did not make any other moves. Although he complained, he was more composed than a Japanese spy.
Being a spy is no easy job.
Shen Yi could tell from Lin Jiang that the Special Service Department at that time was full of talented people, unlike later when it was full of incompetent fools.
Shen Yi glanced at Tian Sihua again and noticed a crease in the corner of his newspaper. Just then, the female flight attendant walked past him.
something wrong.
The newspaper was perfectly fine just now, why did Tian Sihua fold it?
The enemy now is a Japanese spy, and his every move cannot be ignored.
Shen Yi shifted his gaze to the female flight attendant; she was the only newcomer to the carriage.
However, she was the same flight attendant who announced the stops before, and she had passed by Tian Sihua more than once, but Tian Sihua did not make any move, and the two of them did not have any contact just now.
Is it just that the time isn't right yet?
Shen Yi keenly sensed that there was definitely something fishy going on here.
However, he did not choose to report to Lin Jiang. If the female flight attendant was not a Japanese spy, and Lin Jiang chose to take action based on his report, Lin Jiang would definitely push all the responsibility onto him if the operation failed.
So Shen Yi decided to verify it himself first.
"I'm going to get a smoke."
Shen Yi said something and then stood up and walked forward.
Lin Jiang frowned upon seeing this.
Why would Shen Yi smoke at this time?
However, he didn't know Shen Yi's background, and since speaking up might alert Shen Yi, he didn't stop him.
However, he began to question Shen Yi's professional abilities.
Shen Yi had long legs, and he caught up with the female flight attendant in just a few steps.
Shen Yi then overtook the female attendant and arrived at the connecting area between the carriages first. He was smoking a cigarette and rummaging through his pocket, looking for matches.
At this moment, the female flight attendant walked over, and Shen Yi looked at her.
Do you have any matches?
Shen Yi asked casually.
"Yes, sir."
The female flight attendant took a box of matches out of her pocket and handed it to Shen Yi.
As Shen Yi took the matches, his fingers inadvertently touched hers.
In an instant, several images appeared in Shen Yi's mind.
