No. 520, Zhengmin Road.
Citizens passing by were a little curious.
It seems to be moving here and there.
Several prison vans were waiting nearby.
People who were beaten to bloody pulps were dragged and thrown into the prison van.
Several military policemen stood aside and would yell at Chinese people passing by if they saw them staying for a moment.
In the Japanese-controlled area, no one dared to cause trouble. Although they were curious, they still left in a hurry.
What's wrong with the Japanese?
"Ms. Gracie, this place will be yours soon."
Kawano Tokuyuki said with a smile: "This place will be cleared by tomorrow at the latest. Of course, there will be some bloody smell inside. I hope you don't mind."
"It doesn't matter." Gracie said calmly: "No matter what the smell is, the smell of money is not reassuring."
Kawano Tokuyuki felt that although this American woman was ugly, she still spoke very interestingly.
And the butler, from beginning to end, stood aside without saying a word.
"Kawano-kun."
At this moment, a car stopped.
Tian Qi got off the car, took out his cigarettes, and gave one to Chuaneng Dexing: "What's wrong?"
"Tian Sang, someone has rented this place."
"Really?" Tian Qi looked at it curiously.
Almost at this moment, a strange thought came to Gracie's mind:
There seems to be something wrong with this man who suddenly appeared.
From the moment he got out of the car, he looked at him casually, but his eyes had already scanned the whole place in the shortest time.
Seeing that he glanced at himself unintentionally, in fact, he seemed to have carefully considered himself as a person.
Maybe every agent is like this?
has a problem?
Gracie couldn't tell what the problem was.
I just relied on my instinct to feel that there was something wrong with him.
Maybe it’s a woman’s sixth sense?
"That's it." Tian Qi didn't even bother to look at the ugly foreign woman again: "I made an appointment with Section Chief Xiang Duo of the Judicial Department. We'll see you later."
"See you soon."
At this time, Tian Qi never dreamed that his identity was top secret. He was the No. 1 top secret in the Shanghai District of the Military Command Bureau. The only people who knew his true identity were Meng Shaoyuan and Meng Baifeng.
However, a woman who had never met him before and only met by chance today had doubts about his identity at the first sight of him.
Fortunately, this woman belongs to Meng Shaoyuan:
crutch!
"Ms. Gracie, let me show you around here."
At this time, Chuaneng Dexing said.
"Then thank you."
Gracie was always so polite no matter what.
…
"At 1 p.m., we completed the signing of the lease contract and completed the handover procedures. At 2 p.m., Gracie started transporting equipment inside."
"This woman lives there?"
"She rented another place nearby, which was a former businessman's mansion."
"Continue to monitor." Yano Renping thought for a while: "Look, this woman is really interesting, and she is getting more and more interesting. I know that there must be secrets in her that others don't want to know."
…
"Ms. Gracie."
Butler Qiu said in fluent English: "Everything is going according to your instructions, but until now I don't know what you want to do."
"I want to do what I want to do. Qiu, the black tea you prepared by yourself is really delicious. I have to admit that I lived in poverty in the past and have never tasted such delicious black tea."
Gracie was full of praise for the black tea in her hand: "As for what I want to do, I know in my heart. You don't need to know. The only thing we need to know is to try our best to complete what the master has asked us to do."
"Owner?"
Butler Qiu sneered: "Are you talking about Meng Shaoyuan? He is your master, not mine. My allegiance is only to Madam."
"You are wrong, Qiu."
Gracie put down the black tea cup: "I don't know who your wife is, and I have no interest in knowing, but since you are in Shanghai, there is only one master, and that is my master.
Was slavery really abolished? From a legal point of view, it is indeed abolished, but in fact, each of us is a slave. I am a slave to my master, and my master is a slave to this country. Each of us serves a different master.
Slaves, never betray your master. My master, who betrayed this country, is a traitor, and what awaits him will be a shameful future. And if we betray our master, we will face a shameful punishment! "
Butler Qiu was speechless.
"Please don't complain, Qiu. If you serve your master well, you will serve the country well. I am a foreigner and you are Chinese. You should understand this better than me."
Gracie said slowly: "Don't try to betray, even Spartacus failed when he tried to betray his master.
Who wins or loses in the war between China and Japan has nothing to do with me. Who is righteous and who is evil has nothing to do with me. But I must pay attention to the master's joys and sorrows. Only if he lives can I have a future. "
Butler Qiu looked at her blankly, and it took him a long time to say:
"You are hopeless."
…
"At 10 o'clock this morning, eight people entered No. 520 Zhengmin Road. Along with them, there were several wooden boxes. We checked them and found that they contained clay, paper, pen and ink, etc."
"Interesting, really interesting."
Yano Renhei stood up: "I can understand paper, pen and ink, but what is clay used for?"
"Also, they're renovating the backyard."
"usefulness?"
"It's not clear yet."
"Has Gracie's identity been investigated clearly?"
"Yes, she came to Shanghai with her husband five years ago and ran a coffee shop. She has three daughters. Her husband had a very bad temper, but just a few days ago, her husband disappeared. "
"Missing?"
"Together with her daughter, it is said that the couple had a dispute, and her husband disappeared with their daughter. She also reported the case to the police station, but the case was never solved."
"Who is she? What is her identity? What is her purpose of coming here?"
Yano Renhei was playing with a pen in his hand and asked several questions one after another. He did not need Kawano Tokuyuki to answer: "I can feel that she is making a very important plan, and we may be part of her plan. A chess piece.”
"She is so brave?"
"Never underestimate a woman." Yano Renpei smiled and said: "The energy a woman bursts out will be amazing. Ah, I think it's time for me to visit her."
"Okay, Mr. Section Chief, I will go with you."
"Be polite, be courteous." Yano Renpei thought for a moment: "Women have instinctive vigilance. Before I figure out her true purpose, I must not do anything excessive!"
