Zhuge Wenxiang nodded, put down the fruit plate, and left, closing the door.
"I don't even have any subordinates, so I'm just an insignificant role." Zhuge Wenxiang curled his lips. Those who are too low-level are not worthy of their assassination. After all, killing a minor character and exposing their identity is not worth it.
Headquarters 76.
deputy chief's office.
"Xiaofang. If it were you, who do you think should be a more suitable godfather?" Li Shiqun was standing in front of the window, looking out the window, and said silently.
"Director, this matter is of great importance. Xiaofang doesn't know much and dare not make any hasty conclusions." Xiaofang obviously does not want to get involved in this matter. After all, her mission is to protect her godfather at all times. She really doesn't know much about other things.
"Hey~ I'm really troubled."
Li Shiqun sighed slightly:
"Without warning, an order came suddenly, asking me to select people and send them to the mountain city. If the mission fails, I will be blamed. It is obvious that these Japanese have no good intentions."
Xiaofang was silent.
"Has Director Tang come over?"
"It should be soon. Director."
"Well, let's wait for her a little longer." Li Shiqun nodded.
Although the conversation between the two was not much, a long-legged mosquito possessed by Gao Lingyu heard everything clearly.
"No. 76 is really responsible." Gao Lingyu said unexpectedly.
When he lurked into No. 76 Headquarters, he originally had little hope. He felt that the Japanese would not trust Li Shiqun, a traitor. After all, sending spies to mountain cities was no small matter. If the Japanese want to do it, they will definitely only choose their own people.
But unfortunately, the Japanese really let No. 76 take charge of this mission.
ten minutes later.
"Dong dong dong~"
There was a knock on the office door.
"Director, it's me, Tang Ying." The woman in a dress outside the door said expressionlessly.
The door was opened, and it was still Xiaofang who opened the door.
"Director Tang, I'm offended." Xiaofang still did not forget to search her body. This was also the task assigned by Li Shiqun. Anyone entering this office, unless they are Japanese, even senior officials from the headquarters must be searched first.
Tang Ying didn't say anything, she had long been accustomed to it.
After a minute of fumbling, I accepted.
Xiaofang then stepped aside and allowed Tang Ying to enter.
"Ms. Tang, how are you doing at work these days? How many anti-Japanese elements have you caught?"
In front of the window, Li Shiqun turned around and said with a serious smile.
"Report to the director, a total of three were arrested."
"Still the three before?"
"Yeah." Tang Ying nodded.
"Have you admitted it? Are they military commanders?"
"Except for Wang Haiyi, the other two are probably not. They are just patriotic people from among the people."
"Non-governmental organizations are still dangerous elements. No matter what method is used, everyone behind them must be uprooted, and no one can be spared!" Li Shiqun sternly said.
"I will, Director."
"Let's talk about Wang Haiyi." He changed the subject.
He has already seen this Wang Haiyi personally. And in order to instigate this person to rebel, they No. 76 did not use torture as they did before, trying to extract a confession.
On the contrary, he specially arranged accommodation for this person and entertained him with delicious food and drinks every day. Obviously trying to use sugar-coated bullets to capture him.
"Director, this person is a little pushy." Tang Ying said in a deep voice.
"How can you push yourself even further?" Li Shiqun narrowed his eyes.
"He said that just eating and drinking is not enough. He also wants us to help him find a woman. What he wants is not just an ordinary woman, but a Japanese woman." Tang Ying said coldly.
"Is this request difficult?" Li Shiqun held a different opinion.
There are so many geisha houses in Hongkou District, and it only costs one or two hundred yen to find a pretty female geisha. This amount of money can still be afforded by No. 76's finances.
"Director, I don't mean it's difficult or not difficult." Tang Ying narrowed her eyes.
"I understand what you mean. You are afraid that he will make endless demands and become more and more excessive, right?"
Tang Ying nodded.
"Don't worry about so much. Since he likes Japanese women, arrange one for him. But the identity of this Japanese woman must be investigated clearly, and there must be no mistakes."
"Yes, Director." Tang Ying would not refute. Who would let Li Shiqun, a high-ranking official, put her one level below her? Of course, whatever he says is what he says.
"I called you here today. In addition to Wang Haiyi, there is one more thing that I also want to talk to Director Tang." Li Shiqun came to the desk and sat down, his face suddenly became serious.
"Director, please speak." Tang Ying stared intently.
"In your intelligence department, you have a registered residence in Shancheng, and are not from the military or central government. Are there any people who meet these two conditions?" Li Shiqun went straight to the point without beating around the bush.
"If you're not born as a military commander, do you still have to have a household registration in a mountain city?" Tang Ying raised her eyebrows slightly. Although Li Shiqun didn't make this clear, as the director of Intelligence Division No. 76, he could vaguely sense the fishiness in this.
"Yes, is there?"
"Director, I have to go back and check the files." Tang Ying replied. Her intelligence department has six departments, and each department is divided into multiple teams with hundreds of people. There was no reason for her to keep all the identities of these people in her mind all the time.
"Well. Then go back quickly. You must submit the list before dark today." Li Shiqun waved his hand calmly.
Tang Ying agreed, no longer lingering, opened the door and left.
Since no one has made a choice yet, there is no need to worry too much about this matter. Gao Lingyu, who silently watched all this, thought to himself.
As for whether Gao Lingyu would be selected, he was not worried because his household registration was not from a mountain city, but from Jiangsu, the neighboring province.
"Xiaofang, what do you think of Director Tang?" Li Shiqun said suddenly.
"Huh?" Xiaofang was a little surprised.
Why are you mentioning Director Tang again?
"You will send a few people to keep an eye on her in the future. And her sister Tang Yan as well." Li Shiqun continued, not caring about her goddaughter's doubts.
"Yes, Director." Xiaofang nodded.
After a long silence, because I was really curious, I couldn't help but speak:
"Director, Director Tang, could it be the same?"
"Xiaofang, you must be on guard against others. The higher the senior official, the greater the chance of being a traitor. Director Tang and her sisters, before entering No. 76, their occupation was just a well-known coal merchant."
Li Shiqun said coldly:
"I have never had any spy experience, but I joined No. 76, but I can serve as a high-ranking official. It is obvious that the sisters must have given a lot of benefits to the Japanese. And what is their purpose of doing this? It is not clear, at least so far , and they are completely ignorant.”
Xiaofang was a little confused:
"Then why does the director leave the mountain city matter to her to select people?"
