It was ten o'clock in the morning on May 18th, the twenty-seventh year of the Republic of China.
Lao Baimi touched the gun in his waist and called on his subordinates to be alert.
Today is a big event, Chu Xiuyan is coming.
Ho Tung-hu made a special statement that we must not take it lightly.
Weapons were all distributed.
If any accident occurs, it will probably be a firefight.
Where are the police?
Why didn't the police show up?
It stands to reason that Boss He has already greeted Director Cao, and Director Cao promised to personally bring the police to support the occasion.
But it's already ten o'clock, and Director Cao still hasn't shown up.
Chu Xiuyan didn't arrive on time either.
He Donghu has sent people out to ask several times.
Lao Baimi looked at the time, it was ten past ten.
…
Cao Feng has been sitting there.
Where are the people in the chairman's chamber?
Just a wearer with the rank of lieutenant colonel, and an expressionless officer was there to accompany him.
He Donghu has something big going on today, and he is still waiting for him.
I thought it was just a summons, but who would have thought that such a long time has passed without even seeing the rightful owner.
"Sir...Mr. Lieutenant Colonel." Cao Feng said with a smile, "I'll go out and make a phone call."
I have to arrange for someone to go to He Donghu for me.
"no."
The lieutenant colonel refused expressionlessly.
What kind of thing is this?
…
Ten fifteen.
He Donghu has come here to ask questions several times.
Is Chu Xiuyan afraid to come?
Just when Lao Baimi started to get impatient, two cars roared over.
Lao Baimi recognized it at a glance. It was Chu Xiuyan's car.
It’s finally here.
As soon as the car stopped, Chu Xiuyan was the first to get out of the passenger seat and open the rear door.
What came out?
Lao Baimi wondered if he had seen it wrong.
Two Japanese officers!
That's right, two Japanese officers!
this? Did the Japanese invade Ningbo?
No, didn't you hear the gunshots?
The two Japanese officers quickly came to the car behind.
When the car door opened, the man who came out really made Lao Baimi stunned.
One, a Japanese major!
Is the plaster flag really starting to fly in the city of Ningbo?
Immediately, the two Japanese officers took out two suitcases from the second car...
…
Ten fifteen.
"Director Luo Liangjian, Deputy Director of the Third Division of the Attendant Office of the Chairman of the National Government, is here!"
Just when Cao Feng was waiting impatiently, a voice came.
He cheered up and stood up quickly.
Immediately, a man with a strong Hunan accent walked in:
"Are you Director Cao Fengcao?"
"Yes, it's me, Director Luo!"
…
Not only Lao Baimi and his men, but also the Ningbo locals passing by saw these Japanese officers in disbelief.
What happened here?
Why did the Japanese show up so arrogantly in broad daylight?
Ningbo fell?
"Too...I...Mr. Major."
It took Lao Baimi a long time to react.
He really didn't know what to call him.
The major babbled a lot in Japanese, and the officer next to him immediately translated:
"The Empire of Japan, Major Koichi Hahara, requests to see Mr. He Donghu immediately!"
"Yes, yes, I will report it immediately."
"idiot!"
The Japanese officer cursed loudly: "Your Majesty, Major, doesn't like to wait for people. The Chinese are not qualified to make the imperial officers wait!"
…
"Director Cao, I have been ordered by my commission to inspect the local public security in Ningbo." Luo Liangjian took a sip of tea, put down the cup and said calmly: "Please report on the public security situation in Ningbo."
"Yes Yes."
…
"Do you know what psychology is... If you know what the other person is thinking and what they will do next, the rest will be easy to solve."
Chu Xiuyan looked at everything in front of him, and the words that the young master Meng Shaoyuan said to him that day suddenly appeared in his mind.
"I will appear wearing the uniform of a Japanese officer. Under normal circumstances, everyone will think I am crazy. Ningbo is still in our hands. But the more abnormal things appear under normal circumstances, the more people will think that I am crazy." The human brain cannot carry out normal analysis and judgment. People have a subconscious mind that will force their brains to choose to believe.
Especially for traitors, this is more likely to succeed. They betray their country and seek glory and have tied themselves to Japan. Anything related to Japan will make them awe. If a few Japanese officers suddenly appear, their instinct is to be afraid and they will not go there in a short time. Verify the authenticity, then the things I want to bring in will be convenient. "
Chu Xiuyan remembered that after hearing these words, he specifically asked: "Little Master, how long does this short period of time refer to?"
"very short."
"And what happens after they discover the problem?"
"My goal has been achieved."
…
Cao Feng was restless.
Why is Director Luo so interested in police work in Ningbo? Do you have to ask everything clearly, no matter how big or small?
How many thieves were caught last year? What were they caught stealing?
How could a dignified police chief like myself care about such small things?
But the problem is that Director Luo can't afford to offend himself.
Cao Feng could only bite the bullet and make up random things...
…
"Major Koichi Hahara? This? How is this possible?"
He Donghu was completely stunned.
But he saw that three Japanese officers, accompanied by Chu Xiuyan, had walked into the yard as if there was no one around...
…
Shanghai, 10:15 am.
Major Koichi Hahara hadn't slept all night. When he looked up from a pile of documents, his eyes were bloodshot.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip.
The tea has become cold and has no tea flavor anymore.
Koichi Hahara didn't care.
One night's hard work paid off, and he had already eliminated many people from the thick list.
Chinese spies hidden within the imperial intelligence system will show up sooner or later.
He suddenly thought of something:
While he was working hard to find the Chinese spy, what was his old enemy Meng Shaoyuan doing now?
…
"Mr. Major?"
He Donghu hurriedly greeted him: "Who are you?"
The major spoke Japanese again, and the officer next to him translated:
"Major Koichi Hahara, are you He Donghu?"
"Yes, it's me."
Then, He Donghu saw that Major Koichi Hahara was so arrogant that he led his subordinates into the living room without even looking at him.
Not to mention the bodyguards in the yard, even He Donghu himself still doesn’t know what happened...
…
"Director Luo, look, it's almost time for dinner. How about I be a little boy and treat Director Luo to a banquet?"
Cao Feng said cautiously.
"No need, I'll have someone bring us food at noon. Let's just have a simple meal here." Luo Liangjian said slowly: "Director Cao, what happened to the person you just mentioned who stole a pair of gold bracelets from someone else's house?" ah?"
ah? Didn’t I just say this?
…
"Boss He, Major Koichi Hahara of the Empire of Japan." Chu Xiuyan said with a smile: "If the Major hadn't found me, to be honest, I wouldn't be here today."
"this……"
He Donghu didn't understand it at all.
Did the Japanese find Chu Xiuyan first?
Don’t you come to yourself first?
Chu Xiuyan is firmly against the Japanese?
"Actually, you asked me to join the Ningbo Peace Committee before. Do you know why I never agreed?" Chu Xiuyan actually asked.
"I would like to hear its details, I would like to hear its details."
At this time, He Donghu's mind was in a state of confusion.
Chu Xiuyan said with some mystery: "Because a person with a special mission will not expose himself easily..."
…
"what time is it?"
"It's half past ten."
"Order brothers, start taking action in five minutes!"
Wu Guozhu issued this order.
He was a little worried.
What should those who have entered Ho Tung Ho's house do?
…
"Twenty-seventh Aunt, our people are all here."
"Start in five minutes."
"yes!"
…
"Stationmaster Wu, what's going on?"
"Don't say more!" Wu Chengzhang's eyes widened: "When the gunfire rings out later, I will target the grocery store and glutinous rice dumpling shop. No matter who it is, arrest it immediately. If there is resistance, shoot to death!"
…
Ningbo Lishe Airport.
"Report, several suspicious characters were spotted outside the airport."
"Deport immediately."
"Yes, but we don't have enough manpower. What if..."
"Don't worry, the higher ups will find a solution."
"But not a single reinforcement has arrived yet?"
"I don't know either."
The colonel in charge of the airport sighed: "I heard that this mission is important. I guarantee with my head that nothing will happen."
…
"That's it, that's it."
He Donghu murmured.
Chu Xiuyan was actually an undercover agent arranged by the Japanese a long time ago?
How is this possible?
There seems to be a big problem here.
He Donghu accompanied him carefully and asked: "Your Excellency, Major, I don't understand something. Has the Japanese Empire occupied Ningbo?"
Major Koichi Hahara sneered: "Not yet, the people of Ningbo are very determined to resist."
After hearing the translation, He Donghu was even more puzzled: "Then why did Mr. Major come here wearing such a military uniform? How should your safety be ensured along the way?"
"I can go wherever I want. No one can stop an officer of the Japanese Empire!" Major Koichi Hahara's answer was very arrogant.
…
"Get ready for action!" Wu Guozhu took out his pistol...
…
"Get ready for action!" Yu Yanchu checked his weapons...
…
"Stationmaster Wu, the action is about to begin over there!"
Lai Songsheng hurried over with a pistol in hand.
Wu Chengzhang nodded: "Get ready to act!"
…
No, there must be something wrong.
Chu Xiuyan has a problem, and so do these three Japanese officers!
He Donghu became alert.
He said nonchalantly: "Your Excellency, Major, please wait a moment, I will get some information for you to review."
"No need to rush."
Major Koichi Hahara suddenly said in fluent Chinese: "I still have some gifts for Mr. He."
"Later, later." He Donghu had already noticed that danger was coming.
"Major Koichi Hahara" suddenly said coldly:
"He Donghu, do you still want to leave alive?"
