Therefore, Fan Keqin judged that Shinoda Shisan can still be believed for the time being. In addition, the content of Shinoda Toshizo's telegram only informed him of his arrival in Shanghai. It did not have any other requirements. It even said that he was busy and please wait for this kind of proactive explanation. Therefore, at the very least, Shinoda Toshizo can still be trusted now.
After thinking about it carefully, Fan Keqin decided that he could do something with Shinoda Shisan. So I took a new company document and came to Bai Fengtai's office.
After Bai Fengtai saw him, he knew something was wrong. Fan Keqin also went straight to the point and said: "You make an arrangement and choose a smart brother to help me contact a person, a Japanese. The code word to confirm the identity is..."
Shinoda Toshizo is still very busy, but it is no longer the same as at the beginning, where he commutes to and from get off work, day and night. Now I can go to and from get off work normally, but when I go to work, I still have a lot of official business to deal with. My boss has been very mysterious recently. Even during working hours, he sometimes just clicks and leaves without even coming. He left all the daily affairs of the newly established secret service to himself.
But that's okay. If the boss doesn't come, then Toshizo Shinoda will be in charge of this unit. He can work in almost any department. And it's extremely reasonable. After all, there is always a need for a coordinating person in charge.
It was finally time to get off work. Shinoda Toshizo went out and got into his car. It didn't take long before I arrived at a restaurant three blocks away from where I lived. Parking the car on the side of the road, Shinoda Toshizo got out of the car and walked in.
This restaurant has almost become my go-to dining hall for dinner since I came to Shanghai. The first is because it is relatively close to my home. The second reason is that this restaurant is still three blocks away from my residence. It's always good to be careful.
Toshiro Shinoda expertly ordered two dishes and drank a bottle of wine. In fact he likes Chinese food. After all, Shinoda was enrolled in a secret training camp at a very young age. Speaking Chinese and eating Chinese food has become the norm.
Therefore, Shinoda Toshizo still enjoys the rare time after get off work. Sipping wine slowly and watching the people coming and going on the street, I felt a rare sense of peace in my heart.
There was no rush, so the dinner was over after more than an hour. Then Shinoda Toshizo paid the bill and came out of the restaurant. Prepare to walk home slowly. When passing an intersection, Toshizo Shinoda took out his cigarette case, opened it, took out a cigarette, and glanced at the reflective surface of the lid of the cigarette case. Very good, no one should be following me.
Toshizo Shinoda's observation was just a common practice among spies, not that he actually discovered anything. You know, he has just arrived in Shanghai. Although the new secret service has been established, it has only just been established, and the preliminary work has not yet been completed. Therefore, there is no substantive task at all, and it represents a kind of security in itself.
But just when Shinoda was three years old, holding a cigarette in his mouth, he turned the corner again and walked back to his address. Among the crowds of people on the street, a man walked out and followed him, with a cigarette in his mouth and his hands constantly rummaging through his pockets.
However, the man couldn't find a fire in the end, so he came over and said, "Sir, can I borrow a fire from you?" As he spoke, he waved the unlit cigarette in his hand. When this man waved his cigarette, his gestures were very strange. Hold the cigarette with three fingers: thumb, middle finger, and ring finger. It's like an orchid finger.
Shinoda Shisan's pupils shrank immediately, but he still said calmly: "Ah, wait a moment." Then he took out his kerosene lighter and lit it.
The man put his hands together as if to block the wind, put his head up and lit the cigarette. But then, he put his hands together, took out the little thumbs of both hands, and the other fingers gently tapped Shinoda Touzan's hand. Said: "Thank you."
You know, under normal circumstances, borrowing a light and tapping the other person's hand with your finger also means thank you. But no matter how you click, it's just one finger. But this person used all his fingers except his little finger to point people, and his movements were very secretive. And it will also avoid coincidences. valley
Shinoda Shisan smiled and said: "It's nothing. If there is smoke but no fire, it is difficult to achieve positive results."
The man also smiled and added, "You can't become a god if you have fire but no smoke."
The two of them smiled as if they were joking. Even if the people next to them stared at them, they couldn't actually tell anything.
Shinoda Toshizo continued to walk forward, but did not go home. Instead, he kept walking forward for almost fifteen minutes. Toshizo Shinoda found a bar and then walked in. The person who had just borrowed the fire also followed him in.
As soon as they walked in, the two of them were no longer strangers, but rather familiar friends. Together we walked to a nearby booth, ordered some drinks, and took a sip.
Shinoda was relaxed on his face, but he lowered his voice and said: "Did the big ghost ask you to come to me? Can I ask you how you found me? Don't get me wrong, I just feel that not long after I came to Shanghai, you I found the door. Maybe there is some loophole in my security."
The man nodded with a smile and said: "The big ghost received the telegram you sent. He asked me to take him to say hello to you. In addition, I don't know the answer to the question you asked."
Shinoda Shisan nodded and said, "Okay, what should I call you? What do you want from me?"
"Fang Weimao." Fang Weimao said: "First of all, I want to ask you a question on behalf of the ghost. Why did you come to Shanghai?"
Toshizo Shinoda said: "I followed my boss Ichiro Tsuruta and came to Shanghai to establish the Tsuruta Secret Service. The external name is Shanghai Zhenzhen Water Transport Trading Company."
"Oh. That's it." Fang Weimao said: "Then what is the main task of the Tsuruta Agency?"
Toshizo Shinoda said: "We have just been established, and the framework has just been set up. The current situation is that in order to cover up, we are really doing some water transportation trade with the outside world. However, recently, my boss Shenlong has been missing, and I can't do it either. Know what he is doing. Leave me here and just let this water transportation company run normally."
Fang Weimao asked: "You don't have Tsuruta's trust?"
Shinoda Toshizo thought for a while and said: "I think I should have got it. The reason why he is so mysterious may be because he has something important to do. I can't find out yet."
Fang Weimao said: "Well, if you have the chance, please check it out. Oh, by the way, ghost said, the reward for each love message will never be small."
