The case of Shiro Nakajima's death is being investigated by the Special High School Division and No. 76. Even the Japanese Concession Police Department has begun to visit and investigate the Japanese Concession.
But no clues about Mao were found. The Japanese concession police interviewed Yutaka Takahashi, who was about to return to his homeland, but did not get any useful clues.
As for the old beggar stationed outside the headquarters in Shanghai, he has long since disappeared and there is no way to find him.
No. 76 searched all over Huajie and asked almost all the beggar leaders, but they all said they didn’t know him or had seen him before.
Masago Yoshimoto, the director of the Special Higher Education Course, was called over by Gendarmerie Commander Susumu Matsumoto and scolded him, asking him to maintain local security and crack down on anti-Japanese elements.
Matsumoto Susumu is talking nonsense. Maintaining local security is the responsibility of the Military Police. It has nothing to do with the Special High School. He is just looking for trouble and wants to shirk responsibility.
Masago Yoshimoto was so angry that he personally went to the No. 76 agent headquarters when he came back, scolded several directors including Li Qun, and asked No. 76 to eliminate the anti-Japanese elements as soon as possible, especially the biggest suspect in the death of Nakajima Shiro. Military rule.

In the basement of the snack bar, "Squirrel" looked at an old man across the table.
"Silver Snake", are you here? "Squirrel said softly.
"Cough cough cough...I'm coming." Silver Snake replied while coughing.
"Did you bring the photo?"
"Silver Snake" took out a photo from his arms and put it on the table. "Squirrel" took one look at the photo and frowned tightly.
"The angle is not very good. Is this the only one?" Squirrel asked.
"I can't help it. I've been tossing around in Shanghai and Jinling in the past few months, and this photo is the only one with the best angle." Silver Snake shook his head.
"Squirrel" took another careful look at the photo and gave it back to "Silver Snake". He looked at "Silver Snake" who was over 60 years old and struggled to walk and asked: "Why do you need to wade into this muddy water?" Isn’t it good to take care of yourself at home?”
"Haha, sir, what you said makes sense. There is nothing we can do about it. The world is in chaos. More than a dozen people in my family are crying for food. My body is broken and I won't live for more than a few years. If I live, my family will be hungry and well-fed. If I die, my children and grandchildren will have nothing to eat. Meat."
"Squirrel" didn't ask any more questions. "Silver Snake" was already dead. He took out a few pieces of paper from the crack in the wall and handed them to "Silver Snake", telling him to remember the contents on the paper.
After sending "Silver Snake" away, "Squirrel" walked to the corner and looked at the few wires stretched out and thought: "He was not used in the assassination of Nakajima Shiro. In order for "Project Zero" to proceed smoothly, he cannot be left idle. .”

"Where is Xu Mei?" Liu Changchuan asked Liu Lan, who was knitting a sweater, when he arrived home.
"I found a job. She works at a cargo station. It seems that she was introduced by an accountant she knew before." Liu Lan put down her knitting and got up to go to the kitchen to cook.
When Xiao Lingdang saw Liu Lan entering the kitchen, she rushed over and looked at Liu Changchuan eagerly. Liu Changchuan touched the little guy's head and said, "Uncle doesn't dare to give you sweets anymore. After your teeth are damaged, you can no longer eat delicious food."
"Humph." Little Bell snorted, tilting her head to pretend to be angry.
Hehe, I won't be fooled. Liu Changchuan gave Xiao Lingdang a headache and went back to the house to exercise.
It made the little bell scream.
At about 8 o'clock in the evening, Liu Changchuan took a pistol and flew needles to find Lao Zhang. He had been upset recently and was worried that these things were not safe at home. It would be better to move them to Lao Zhang's place, which was the most suitable place.
"You should split the money with Zhuang He. If it's not enough, I'm thinking of a way." Liu Changchuan handed Lao Zhang 400 French currency, and he kept 100 yuan for himself. The money was given to him by "Squirrel" at the bridge joint last time.
"It's enough for both of us for a while. If I'm short of money, I'll let you know."
After Lao Zhang took the money, he made Liu Changchuan a cup of tea. He didn't mind having more money. With money, he and Zhuang He could eat better and live more comfortably, but they couldn't survive relying on faith.
"How's the business of Zhuang He's radio repair department?" Liu Changchuan was very concerned about Zhuang He. He was a radio operator and couldn't have any problems.
"There is no business. I am idle all day long. Don't worry about money. Last time you gave me wages and funds, and you gave me more than 100 yuan, and I haven't spent them all yet."
"That's good. You should be more concerned about Zhuang He and tell him that it doesn't matter whether the radio repair department's business is good or not. The salary and funding will only be more, not less." Liu Chang warned.
Lao Zhang nodded, put the guns, flying needles and other weapons that Liu Changchuan had brought over to the disguised basement, and suddenly patted his head.
"Team leader, I just remembered that I went to the dead mailbox at noon and "Squirrel" wanted to see you."
"The squirrel wants to see me"?
Liu Changchuan's heart trembled. He really didn't want to see "Squirrel". The main reason was that this person was difficult to deal with and was a ruthless person. He was far worse than his two previous superiors. From "Squirrel" to the assassination of Nakajima Shiro You can see it.
The two military assassins received death orders. The "Squirrel" never thought of letting the two people live. This was really unacceptable to Liu Changchuan. It took human lives too seriously.
"Squirrel" does things unscrupulously.
On the way home, Liu Changchuan suddenly remembered something. If Shiro Nakajima had not died, would Squirrel let him take action?
Will it or won't it, that is the question?
The next day, Liu Changchuan met "Squirrel". "Squirrel" only told him one thing, to keep an eye on No. 76. If there is any trouble on No. 76, he must report to him. In addition, "Squirrel" asked him, if Gibbon Zhengwu went to Agent 76 headquarters, and he wanted to sneak in to find out the news.
what's going on? Liu Changchuan didn't understand what "Squirrel" said. What could happen to No. 76? Capture the military commander, the Central Command, or the underground party. Could it be that there was something big happening on No. 76, but how could "Squirrel" know about it in advance?
…
"Liu Sang, please send this document to Changhe Trading Company. Those bastards in Class Two have been urging you to do it all day."
"Don't worry, Xiaozhe-kun, I'll go right away."
"Liu Jun, hasn't Wilson's sulfa arrived in Hong Kong yet?" Otani Shohei of the Military Police came over to ask about sulfa. The sulfa business was very profitable and he couldn't bear to part with it.
"Don't worry, Mr. Dagu, I'll call and ask Doctor Huang right away."
Liu Changchuan was busy until two o'clock in the afternoon. Just as he was about to take time off and leave work early, he saw the section chief, Masago Yoshimoto, walking out with a gloomy expression.
"Search, if you have something, can I help you with it?" Liu Changchuan stepped forward and asked with a low eyebrow.
Yoshimoto Shogo stopped and glanced at Liu Changchuan and said, "Follow me to Agent 76 Headquarters."
"Yes, Section Chief." Liu Changchuan hurriedly followed Masago Yoshimoto.
Headquarters No. 76 was heavily guarded at the moment, and there were all gendarmerie soldiers outside the gate. What surprised Liu Changchuan was that even the gendarmerie commander, Major General Matsumoto, arrived.
Not only Gendarmerie Commander Susumu Matsumoto came, but also people from the Shanghai headquarters. Is there anything going on?
Liu Changchuan was shocked. "Squirrel" told him in the morning to watch every move of No. 76, but something big happened on No. 76 in the afternoon. It couldn't be a coincidence, right?
What mission is the "squirrel" performing?
