Ichiro Tsuruta continued: "As an imperial agent, you need Shinoda-kun's excellent qualities."
"You've thanked me." Toshizo Shinoda said, "Sir, is what I said true? Is the ghost really in Shanghai?"
Tsuruta Ichiro pondered slightly and decided to tell the truth. After all, Shinoda Toshizo was his right-hand man. If everything is hidden from him, it will be detrimental to the arrangement of things.
So Ichiro Tsuruta said: "A friend of mine in Manchuria will probably arrive tomorrow. In fact, he sent me a secret telegram before coming and told me the purpose of his trip, which is to come for ghosts. And I also hope that I can send some absolutely reliable helpers to support him."
Shinoda Toisan said: "Then do you want to send me there? I will absolutely obey your order. But Sir, since your friend has come to Shanghai, does it mean that he has truly mastered some information and can judge ghosts?" Just local.”
Ichiro Tsuruta said: "He did not explain this in detail in the secret message. The purpose of calling you here is to let you bring some reliable people to help him. But I am a little confused now."
"Ah?" Toshizo Shinoda said, "What do you think?"
Ichiro Tsuruta said: "Last night, or at two o'clock this morning, I received an urgent encrypted message from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. There is a very important person who will take a ship to come to the local area in the near future. .The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has instructed that this person’s safety is very important and must not be compromised.”
After saying this, Ichiro Tsuruta turned to look at Shinoda Toshizo and continued: "Have you heard the news? The empire wants Wang Zhaohai's new government to issue a statement declaring war on the United States, Britain and other countries. This is important When the characters come to Shanghai at this time, I feel that they should be here for negotiation."
"I've heard of it." Shinoda Toshizo said: "This is not a secret, because the empire has long been interested in this aspect. It's just that Wang Zhaohai is very painterly and has never given a clear answer."
At this point, Toshizo Shinoda pondered for a while and said: "You are worried that if the ghost is in Shanghai, the ghost's purpose is to sabotage this negotiation."
Ichiro Tsuruta said: "That's right. Oni, if he is really here, then his purpose must be to sabotage this negotiation. Or to be more precise, one of his goals must be to sabotage this negotiation. negotiation."
Toshizo Shinoda said: "Well, this is indeed a bit difficult. Whether it is to protect the big shots from the mainland to ensure the smooth progress of the negotiations. Or to find the ghost, these two things are big things. Either of them, I am afraid Just hit with power.”
"This is also the reason why I called you here this time." Ichiro Tsuruta said: "As you said, both of these things require us to concentrate on achieving the best effect. Therefore, I decided to let You bring an action team to support my friend, and let my friend deal with the ghosts. Our Tsuruta Agency will do our best to protect the big shots from the mainland, so that this negotiation can proceed smoothly."
Toshizo Shinoda said: "Hey! I understand. I will choose good people. However, Your Excellency, please forgive me for what I say below. I am not trying to shirk anymore. Although these two things seem to be related, as long as we grasp The ghost can probably make this negotiation more successful. However, I am really not sure that I can find or catch the ghost."
Tsuruta Ichiro nodded and said: "Yes, who can think of me as someone who can deal with ghosts? So, Shinoda-kun, I just want you to try your best. In addition, my friend's ability is still very high. So, It’s not that you don’t have a chance. Maybe you can actually find the ghost, catch him, or kill him.”
Toshizo Shinoda said: "Thank you for understanding my thoughts. I will do my best."
Seeing that Tsuruta Ichiro had no other instructions, Toshizo Shinoda said, "Sir, how can I contact your friend?"
"Don't worry." Tsuruta Ichiro said: "He will contact me. You should prepare your manpower first. In this case, after he contacts me, you can immediately lead the team to see him."
"Hey." Shinoda Toshizo said, "Then I'll go now."
After getting up and saying goodbye to Ichiro Tsuruta, Shinoda Toshizo came to the action team and personally ordered sixteen people. Let them be prepared to find them at any time and leave at any time. If something happens to you, you should report your whereabouts to yourself.
Soon, the day passed. When Shinoda Toshizo got off work, he didn't go home immediately. Instead, he walked around in a circle and made sure there was no one behind him. He entered a phone booth and dialed a number. After a few rings, he hung up and dialed again and it rang a few more times. Repeat this several times until the number of times the phone rings is correct.
Shinoda Toshizo wandered around for a while, entered the bar he had agreed on before, ordered a bottle of foreign wine, sat in a booth and drank slowly.
Another half an hour passed before a man walked in. He walked straight to the bar and drank half a glass of beer. After Shinoda Toshizo saw it, he got up and walked to the bathroom.
There was another person squatting in the toilet. He was humming and exerting his energy. Shinoda Toshizo didn't care about this and walked directly into a cubicle and squatted down.
Two minutes later, while he was squatting, he heard a knock on the bathroom door. Moreover, the new person who came in seemed to be whistling in a good mood, but after entering a cubicle, he stopped whistling. Then Shinoda Toisan coughed twice.
This is also an agreement. A cough means: "It's me, and there are no outsiders in the toilet. We can communicate." It also lets the other party know that it is okay to talk. But the two sounds are not. The two sounds mean that I checked the bathroom, but there is an outsider, and it is not convenient now.
So the three of them started squatting in the pit, and they all made grunting sounds at the same time. But the outsider came in first after all, so it didn't take long for the sound of using paper to be heard, and he left after a while.
Shinoda Shisan heard a coughing sound coming from the pit on the side. So he whispered: "Do you have any paper?"
When the other party heard this, he immediately said: "It's me."
"Yeah." Toshizo Shinoda said: "There are two things in total. First, a person came from the Northeast, and he suspected that the ghost was local. The second thing, a person came from Japan, with the purpose of negotiating with Wang Zhaohai , so Wang Zhaohai also came back recently..."
The two people began to communicate in the toilet. About ten minutes later, Shinoda Toizan told the visitor in detail what had happened.
