Takamaru Trading Company is the most inconspicuous small trading company in the Japanese Concession, with only five employees. According to the investigation team, these people may be doing business, but they may also use it to expand the functions of the Naval Intelligence Department, such as using business as a cover to conduct business operations. Yamashiro got the information.
At a Chinese teahouse diagonally across Takamaru Trading Street, Mieko asked Liu Changchuan with a nonchalant expression: Team leader, the section leader asked our team to investigate the trading company run by Yamazaki Taro. I don’t think there is any problem!
"Boy, the teapot is out of water." Liu Changchuan greeted the young boy.
"You are right. I also think that investigating Taro Yamazaki is meaningless. But who makes our section chief curious? Taro Yamazaki is opening a trading company and making friends everywhere. Even the cocktail party held on the 76th It's not surprising to sneak in and attract the attention of the section chief." Liu Changchuan took a sip of tea and shook his head as he looked at Takamaru Trading Company across the street.
"Why don't you wait for two days and report to the section chief? Then...?" Before Mieko could finish her words, Hashimoto walked in from outside the teahouse.
"Team leader, I have reserved a private room at Shimizuyo Restaurant. Can we have dinner there at noon?" Hashimoto Shi came in and sat down next to Mieko.
"Annoying." Mieko glared at Hashimoto next to her.
"Okay, just eat there. If the field subsidy is not enough, I will subsidize the remaining money personally."
Liu Changchuan didn't care about spending more money. The lunch subsidy for local field trips for special higher education courses was not high. Unless you go to the concession or leave Shanghai, you can find a reason to ask the accountant for more money.
Hey, when Liu Changchuan was talking to Hashimoto Shi and others, he saw a man walking out of Takamaru Trading Company. This man was wearing a cotton-padded jacket and a scarf, and his face could not be seen.
Scanning…………
{Du Yuxing, 37 years old, Shancheng Fire Department}
A person from the Mountain City Fire Department came all the way to Shanghai, and then went to Takamaru Trading Company in the Japanese Concession, which was related to the Naval Intelligence Service. This is problematic no matter how you look at it. Could it be that Du Yuxing went from the Mountain City to Shanghai to join the Japanese?
No, you are not an official or a spy from a mountain city. The little devil wants you to have no use. Liu Changchuan murmured in his heart after scanning it with his waste scanning eyes.
There must be something wrong with Du Yuxing.
"It's almost noon. You two and Kogoro will go to Qingshuiyang Restaurant to wait for me. I have to go see my sweetheart, Ms. Li Xiang." Liu Changchuan stood up and walked out.
"Team leader, isn't Miss Rika working as a waitress at Shimizuyo?" Hashimoto asked with a suspicious look on his face.
"She quit and said she was going to do some small business." Liu Changchuan didn't even respond.
He didn't lie either. Ever since Rika Yamashita made a fortune, she had no intention of working as a waiter to earn a pitiful salary. She had been thinking about starting a small business recently.
At the Yokohama Hotel, Liu Changchuan followed Du Yuxing into the hotel before turning and heading to Yuping Road South Street. He had to go to the place where Yamashita Rika lived to deal with it. When passing by a Japanese jewelry store, he bought a hairpin for Yamashita Rika.
"Why is Nagakawa-kun free to come here today?" Yamashita Rika was cleaning the house and was very happy to see Liu Changchuan coming over.
"I have something to do in the Japanese Concession, so I stopped by to see you. How are your business preparations going?" Liu Changchuan picked up the water glass from the table and took two sips.
Yamashita Rika took the hairpin from Liu Changchuan and replied with a hint of joy: "I want to open a small izakaya, and I'm looking for a house, but it's hard to find a chef."
"Don't be anxious and take your time. By the way, if you have Japanese yen in your hand, try to exchange it for real money. I heard that the Japanese yen seems to be devaluing." Liu Changchuan pulled Yamashita Rika into his arms and warned her.
"Really?" Yamashita Rika was shocked. She had more than 200 yen in her hand, more than 100 of which Liu Changchuan gave him privately. The depreciation of the yen is not a good thing.
"Okay, I have to go meet the team members. I'll come over if I'm free in the evening." Liu Changchuan looked at his watch and stood up to leave.
"Nagawa-kun, can you please stay for an hour?" Yamashita Rika looked straight at Liu Changchuan.
"Ah this?" Liu Changchuan licked his lips.
"Ten minutes will do." Yamashita Rika tapped Liu Changchuan's lips with a finger... Twenty minutes later, Liu Changchuan left Yamashita Rika's house refreshed and full of strength.
I think it works again.
…
"Team leader, why are you here? When Miezi saw Liu Changchuan coming in, she muttered dissatisfiedly."
"Hehe, of course the team leader must serve Miss Rika well." Hashimoto Shi said with a lewd wink.
"Hahahaha." Everyone laughed in unison.
Liu Changchuan didn't feel embarrassed and asked the waiter to serve a few more plates of food and start cooking.
His stomach was a little empty, so he had to continue to go to the teahouse to hang out after eating. In addition, he also had to quickly send a message to Lao Zhang, asking him to send a message to the Juntong Shanghai Station, asking them to monitor Du Yuxing 24 hours a day to see what this bitch was going to do. ?
At around 5 p.m., the investigation team drove back to the Special High School. Liu Changchuan drove off work in Bianshan and conveyed the news about Du Yuxing to Lao Zhang through a dead mailbox. At the same time, he warned Lao Zhang not to monitor by himself and that everything was for safety.
…
At the Juntong Shanghai Station, Chen Shu looked at the message sent by the "Barbed Wire" team with suspicion. A person from the mountain fire department was actually related to the Japanese Naval Intelligence Service. There must be something involved, and it was not a trivial matter.
But it’s a bit embarrassing to go to the Japanese Concession and keep an eye on them!
Chen Shu did not randomly send people to the Japanese Concession to monitor Du Yuxing. The main reason was that the military command in Shanghai was not strong enough in the Japanese Concession. It was difficult for strangers to survive in the Japanese Concession. It was no better than the Chinese Concession. He didn't even have a pass to the Japanese Concession. Definitely got it.
This matter requires the cooperation of the headquarters. Let them carefully investigate this person named Du Yuxing in the mountain city. When did he come to Shanghai from the mountain city? Is there anyone in the fire department who colluded with and took refuge with the Japanese?
In the end, Chen Shu did not risk going to the Japanese Concession to monitor Du Yuxing for the sake of the safety of the Juntong Shanghai Station.
…
After receiving Chen Shu's telegram, the Shancheng Military Command Headquarters immediately ordered agents from the Intelligence Department to secretly investigate the Fire Department and Du Yuxing's family background. The results surprised everyone. Du Yuxing actually asked for leave to go home half a month ago, saying that his father in his hometown was in ill health. OK, go back and have a look!
Ask for leave? Isn't this nonsense? Anyone who asks for leave will go to Shanghai. Du Yuxing must have been bribed by the Japanese to become a spy. Then will he return to the mountain city again?
This is a problem, but also an opportunity, an opportunity to capture the Japanese sleeper team.
Mao became a secret. After greeting Boss Dai, he warned the people in the Intelligence Department not to disturb the fire department personnel and waited for Du Yuxing to return to the mountain city. At the same time, he sent a telegram to the "Barbed Wire" team that night, asking "Barbed Wire" to pay close attention to Du Yuxing's movements.
