Zhao Caiqin looked at Chen Meijuan, who looked slightly sad, gritted her teeth and said softly: "I accidentally heard that a Japanese woman is looking for someone to kill you. My sister should stay away from the Japanese as soon as possible. Those people are cruel!"
"Oh, where did Sister Zhao hear about it?" Chen Meijuan was suspicious, but there was a surprised expression on her face.
"Hey, I went to the hospital for a physical check-up the day before yesterday. Dr. Wang, the surgeon, knows my family and accidentally talked to me about this matter. As soon as he mentioned your workplace, I knew it was you." Zhao Caiqin replied with a worried look.
"To be honest, Sister Zhao, this is true, but what can I do? The woman who hired a killer to kill me belongs to the Japanese secret service. She has a rich background and I cannot afford to offend her." Chen Meijuan shrugged to express her helplessness.
"The Japanese are really cruel and ruthless. My sister should be more careful in the future."
"Thank you, Sister Zhao, for your concern. I will definitely pay attention to it in the future." Chen Meijuan looked at Zhao Caiqin with "gratitude".
But he had already begun to doubt Zhao Caiqin. When he heard from the hospital that she had been shot, even a fool would not believe it.
Seeing Chen Meijuan's innocent look, Zhao Caiqin felt confident and asked the waiter to serve a cup of coffee. She leaned forward and asked in a low voice: "I wonder what my sister thinks of Shancheng?"
"Mountain city?" Chen Meijuan whispered with a trace of confusion in her eyes.
"Sister Zhao, the mountain city is the great enemy of Jinling officials and the Japanese. They want to get rid of it quickly. What does sister Zhao mean when she talks about the mountain city?" Chen Meijuan asked with wide eyes, pretending to be curious.
"Ahem." Zhao Caiqin coughed lightly and looked around again.
"Sister, I'm not worth it for you. The Japanese kill innocent people indiscriminately and almost beat you to death. You won't end well if you work for them. Let me tell you, it's better to find a way out for yourself to avoid making the Japanese angry. When you have nowhere to go.”
Chen Meijuan was stunned by Zhao Caiqin's words. She finally understood that her good "best friend" was lobbying her for the mountain city's secret service. She didn't know whether it was the military commander or the central commander, but she knew in her heart that she had to make a choice, otherwise If both parties are unhappy, your life may be ruined at any time.
"Sister, I have to go home and clean up, so I'll leave first. I've already paid for the coffee." Seeing Chen Meijuan's silence, Zhao Caiqin knew that she had understood what he meant and that she had to give her time to think about it.
what to do? To invest in a mountain city to serve the country, well... has a good reputation.
Then Chen Meijuan shook his head. He calculated the gains and losses. It was a dead end to surrender to the mountain city. The Japanese were now powerful and had occupied most of the core areas of the country without using the Kwantung Army.
The mountain city is located in a corner, and the winning rate is not high. Besides, she has a brother-in-law, a sister-in-law, and two young nephews. If her defection to the mountain city is known to Agent 76 Headquarters, her death will be a trivial matter, and her family will be buried with her.
This road is impassable and cannot be taken.
But the consequences of rejecting Shancheng are not trivial. The military killers are not comparable to those wastes living around in Agent 76 headquarters. They are ruthless characters who dare to die with you. It seems that offending Shancheng will not work.
Is there no way out?
…
"How's it going? Yoshimoto Masago looked at secretary Nakamura with burning eyes." He was worried about Xu Ping's suicide and worried that there was a mole in the extra-high school class, so he asked secretary Nakamura to secretly investigate internally and screen the people in the hotel.
"Section Chief, there are a small number of people who can be exempted from suspicion, such as the four people in the investigation team. They were on the fourth floor at the time and had no chance to send a letter to Xu Ping. In addition, many people were screened out through mutual testimony from the intelligence team and the action team."
"Just tell me how many suspects there are?" Masago Yoshimoto was a little impatient.
"No, not one." Nakamura shook his head.
"Not one?" Masago Yoshimoto stood up from his chair in surprise.
"Yes, Section Chief. In the end, there was no one who testified against each other. Of course, unless there are two moles in our special high school class, or more."
"That's impossible." Masago Yoshimoto waved his hand.
He knew in his heart that there should be no mole in the Special High School. The mole should be with Minami Masako, or someone from within the hotel. Of course, the gendarmerie Mei agency was also possible.
This is a good thing. At least it can prove that the special high school is clean. Otherwise, how can we carry out work in the future?
"By the way, is there any news about the military mole "barbed wire"? Yoshimoto Masago suddenly remembered this matter.
He was extremely afraid of the military agent code-named "Barbed Wire". This guy had stolen a lot of intelligence from the empire without anyone noticing. So far, he had no clues at all. He couldn't even tell which department he was in, nor his approximate age.
It is simply a disgrace to the empire's secret services in Shanghai.
"Section Chief, the "barbed wire" is hidden very deep. All the agencies in Shanghai are secretly investigating, but there are no clues. According to the news about counterfeit banknotes passed by the "barbed wire" last time, he should be lurking in the upper levels, such as the dispatched army or In each consulate." Nakamura took out a document from his briefcase and read.
"Do you want to ask the investigation team to check it out? They have handled several major cases recently, especially the Baisheng Hotel. The investigation team found several pieces of film in one fell swoop, which shows that they are still very capable." Masago Yoshimoto said a little bit Looking at Nakamura expectantly.
"The section chief is useless. No matter how capable the investigation team is, they will not dare to investigate the people from the dispatched troops and the consulate. To dig out the "barbed wire fence" requires the concerted efforts of all departments. I don't think they will cooperate with the Special High School Section." Nakamura replied with a wry smile.
He feels that Masago Yoshimoto is a bit naive. The dispatched troops and the consulate are not like cats and dogs. Besides, the consulate in Shanghai hates the special high school because of the film incident. He wants their cooperation. Dream on!
"Okay, I was in a hurry and messed things up." Masago Yoshimoto waved his hand and asked Nakamura to go out. He wanted to think about how to dig out the military commander "Barbed Wire".
…
In a cafe in the public concession, Richard was drinking coffee with a bad expression. This time, because of the bribery of Hideo Honda of the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai, the Intelligence Bureau lost an entire intelligence team. The Japanese even issued a note to strongly protest against this. thing.
There is no point in protesting. The British Empire never cared about protesting or losing face. What is that thing?
Besides, if I don’t admit to sending spies, what can you do? Anyway, all three agents are dead, and you can't produce any evidence.
It's just that he was reprimanded by the London headquarters for this matter. This is a bit incomprehensible. How can I, a little bitch, let me take the blame? Bellin, the third secretary in charge of intelligence at the consulate, is the main messenger, okay? .
Richard cursed secretly and then took out a document from his arms and read it. This was a secret message from the embassy in Shancheng. It related to the information of the elite military commander "Barbed Wire" in Shancheng. However, the embassy was not talking about Honda. Hideo is the spy codenamed "Barbed Wire" by the military.
Hmm... maybe I can use this information to exchange something with the Japanese.
