Roligani and his wife have been missing for more than forty-eight hours.
During this period, both the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the consulate, and various institutions in Shanghai were under tremendous pressure.
Where are they now?
Are they still alive?
Some people have even begun to worry about this.
Whether Roligani was kidnapped or he actively cooperated, the top priority was to find them.
Kenji Doihara is undoubtedly the most irritable among them.
The person disappeared right under his nose.
As the top leader of Shanghai's secret service, he must take responsibility.
The problem is, there's no clue.
What's even more terrible is that Tetsuhiro Matsudaira was beaten inexplicably.
A man from a noble family was beaten in Shanghai.
What's going on?
Doihara Kenji must now comfort Matsudaira Tetsuhiro while finding the whereabouts of Raligani and his wife as soon as possible.
Of course, there is also the Englishman Madgan.
Countless agents were sent out to find the Italians.
Of course, the consequence of this is that the counterattack plan against military reunification had to be temporarily suspended.
Originally, Doihara Kenji was prepared to use wave after wave of offensives and use the toughest means to deal with the military commander.
Never take a step back!
But now everything is in chaos!
Kenji Hara still understands which is lighter and which is more important.
"Your Excellency, Chief of Agency." Koichi Hahara, who returned empty-handed again, finally made up his mind and said: "In the early stage, although a large number of people were mobilized to enter the public concession, they did not particularly understand the situation in the concession. Especially before we were attacked by the military. The collective massacre was a huge blow to morale. Under such circumstances, if we want to find the Roligani couple, please be honest, it is still very difficult to rely on our own strength."
"So what do you mean?"
"Please use the Chinese." Hahara Guangyi sighed: "I know that the suspicion on them has not been eliminated, but they are the ones we can rely on most now. Whether it is Miao Chengfang, Tian Qi, or others who seek refuge with us The Chinese are far more familiar with this land than we are."
Doihara Kenji remained silent.
Yanagawa Yasunjun once told him from his own experience that it is best not to reuse these Chinese until the suspicion is completely eliminated.
Kenji Doihara certainly understood his painstaking efforts.
But the pressure of reality is right in front of us.
The Chinese and Japanese armies are engaged in a fierce battle in Wuhan, and the international community is all focused on it. An interview program that was originally intended to show off Japan's military power has now turned into a farce.
For two days, I asked questions one after another, and some of them were very harsh.
Instead of getting off to a good start, the Special Committee on Dialogue got off to a bad start.
The further you delay, the worse it will be for you.
Doihara Kenji couldn't stand it anymore.
"go a head."
He said with some difficulty: "I will go and talk to Yanagawa, and I will temporarily transfer Tian Qi to your side again. Lieutenant Commander Hahara, are you sure?"
"I'm not sure that I'll find Mr. and Mrs. Roligani." Koichi Hahara said frankly: "But at least I'm sure that I won't let the situation deteriorate further."
"That's good, hurry up and do it."
Kenji Doihara waved his hand tiredly.
He sat there blankly.
The situation in Shanghai far exceeded his imagination.
The cruelty of the struggle also caught him off guard.
Especially the tenacity and ferocity shown by Meng Shaoyuan and Juntong made him extremely worried.
After sitting there for a while, Kenji Doihara picked up the phone...
…
"Director Meng, Kenji Doihara's phone number."
"Oh, is that right? He finally gave up and called?"
Meng Shaoyuan smiled and took the phone: "Hello, Mr. Doihara."
"Hello, Mr. Meng, I'm talking to you again."
"I said, you can find me anytime you want."
"Mr. Meng, this is indeed the case." Kenji Doihara's voice on the other end of the phone sounded quite cheerful: "I really want to sit down with you face to face and have a good chat sometime."
"You know where I am and can come to you at any time."
"I'm not the kind of fearless warrior." Kenji Doihara laughed at himself, and then asked in a casual tone: "Mr. and Mrs. Roligani, are you okay now?"
"Who, Roligani? Mr. Doihara, who are they? What does they have to do with me?"
"Mr. Meng, we are all in this business, so why bother pretending? I know that Roligani and his wife were kidnapped by you. What are you going to do? What do you want to use them to blackmail me for?"
"Mr. Doihara, I think you are mistaken." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "I don't know Mr. Roligani at all, and you actually think that I kidnapped them? This can easily cause international disputes. Ah. , you lost two foreigners? What a pity, I will help you keep an eye out, if there is any news about them."
"Thank you, Mr. Meng." Doihara Kenji smiled: "I remember a Chinese saying that there is no airtight wall in the world, and I don't think there are any secrets in the world that can always be kept."
"Secrets need to be discovered by yourself." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "I wish you good luck, Mr. Doihara."
"Thank you, Mr. Meng."
Meng Shaoyuan hung up the phone and sneered.
"For Roligani?" Wu Jingyi asked.
"For Roligani." Meng Shaoyuan said coldly: "He is anxious, really anxious. I can even imagine that he is as restless as an ant on a hot pot. He called me This phone call was actually meaningless, he knew I would deny it outright, but he still called it, why?"
Wu Jingyi said: "A drowning person always wants to grab a life-saving floating board."
Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "I knew it was impossible, but I couldn't help but try it anyway. What if? This is a normal human mentality. But he didn't know that he had conveyed another message to me, Kenji Doihara. I’m already a little helpless.”
Originally, with the arrival of Kenji Doihara and his tough attitude, the situation in Shanghai instantly entered a balance of power.
Military reunification agents can kill Japanese agents, and Japanese agents can also launch full revenge.
In the short term, no one can do anything about the other, and they will maintain a situation of mutual restraint and long-term warfare. After this battle, no matter who wins or loses, they will suffer heavy losses.
Meng Shaoyuan has always wanted to find a way to break this mutual bleeding equilibrium.
He had no chance to take advantage of him. Whether it was Doihara Kenji or Yanagawa Yasumi, they were both very determined people. Once they decided to start a war, they would continue the war.
But an international visiting delegation handed over a huge opportunity to Meng Shaoyuan.
The "disappearance" of Roligani and Qiaobrina instantly disrupted all the plans of the Japanese secret service in Shanghai!
Although the "Steel Treaty" has not yet been concluded, and although the "Axis Powers" have not yet been formed, Germany, Japan, and Italy are all treaty countries of the "International Agreement Against G-Production."
Be an ally!
Japan will never allow any major diplomatic incident to damage its alliance with Italy, especially after they withdrew from the League of Nations, they paid more attention to this treaty.
It happened in such a situation that something happened.
A fist that was originally clenched was forced to loosen, and Kenji Doihara had to devote a lot of energy to find the whereabouts of Roligani and Jobrina.
"I have already taken Qiao Brina to Xianshi Department Store." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "And because I have made such a generous move, people from Xianshi Department Store and Shengheng Jewelry will definitely talk about it. The Japanese will soon They will get the news and they will launch a comprehensive investigation. Assistant Wu, have you done what I asked you to do?"
"Yes, it's done." Wu Jingyi said quickly: "I found twelve foreign women who were about the same height as Qiao Brina. They all wore veiled hats and went to various public places in Shanghai openly, and tried to attract as much attention as possible. Other people’s attention.”
"Let the Japanese slowly verify them one by one." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "They will continue to allocate manpower to monitor various areas of the Shanghai Public Concession. How many manpower can they have? Taking advantage of this period of chaos for the Japanese When the time comes, I command!”
He pondered there for a moment:
"Every contact point that I had destroyed before was rebuilt immediately. A large number of new people were hired. A large number of agents from the Japanese-controlled areas entered the concession, which will inevitably cause the defense there to be weak. Additional agents were dispatched to continue to penetrate into the Japanese-controlled areas. The Japanese were dispatched in large numbers. , will inevitably expose a large number of their strongholds, keep a close eye on me, and look for opportunities to destroy them!"
"clear!"
"Wu Jingyi, you will be responsible for all the work personally. Kenji Doihara sold us such a big flaw. If we don't catch it, we will really be sorry for his hard work." Meng Shaoyuan sneered a few times: "I What can be predicted is that within these ten days, the Japanese special agencies will be in the most chaos, and it will also leave us with the most opportunities!"
"Ten days?" Wu Jingyi didn't particularly understand.
"Time." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "Time can dilute everything. As time goes by, the influence of this incident will slowly decrease, and the importance of Roligani as a bargaining chip to us will gradually decrease. Italy and Japan will not fall out because of the disappearance of a former general, they will negotiate and find a solution to the problem."
Wu Jingyi nodded.
Director Meng has already imagined everything, what kind of things should be done every day, even including the time when Italy and Japan can withstand the pressure.
He even deliberately accompanied Jobrina on a high-profile appearance to attract the attention of the Japanese. However, the Japanese were unable to confirm whether the veiled woman was actually Jobrina.
Of course, Wu Jingyi has another idea.
Meng Shaoyuan was so generous to Qiao Brina. In addition to official business, did he also have some dirty thoughts?
