Who is Kunwu? Process of elimination

 mango7:

Logically, KJP is the prime candidate to be Kunwu as it seems (as of ep 34) that he has always been in control.

The question is what is KJP's end game?  Both the Commander Xue Yue and the Japanese are waiting for the intel from him. Will he tell Xue Yue the Japanese are coming from the West (fake) or the East?

What I find interesting is how he has effectively purged all the most competent Japanese spies from NBIS. After Milan goes down, the last one standing will be Director Ji. He is a dufus and clearly can be left in place to provide misinformation to Japan.

There are 4 episodes to go so I suspect we will get at least one or two more reversals.

WARNING: SPOILERS

Maybe the easiest way to guess who is Kunwu is by elimination so I am keeping a list of who can be ruled out as Kunwu as we go along. Please add to it / share your eliminations and why.

What we know about Kunwu:

1. Long hidden/dormant Japanese spy. 
2. Reactivated 5 years ago
3. He is confident of reuniting with his family soon. Most like wife + son and daughter.
4. He suspected that  Muzhi faked his death in Shanghai but he did not know for sure
5. He sent a sketch to warn Milan not to be distracted and fall for Hongqi.
6. He joined the National Army in 1925 making him 32-39 years of age
7. He appeared in the first 8 episodes

Eliminations:

1. Yang Ziming - based on (4) he knew Muzhi faked his death bc he asked him to
2. Yun Hongqi - Based on (5) and (6) Hongqi should not be Kunwu
3. Li Liang - dead
4. Milan - works for Kunwu
5. Zong Fang - mid-level Japanese spy.

Top Remaining Suspects (in order):

1. Assistant Wu
2. Ke Jing Ping
3. Ling Han
4. Captain Tang
5. Zhu He

I still think it’s not KJP somehow or perhaps am simply not bright enough.  i really want the plot twist to be Qi.  But Wu also fits. Urrgghhh…messing with my brain.  LOL
