"Your Excellency, Section Chief, I heard an interesting rumor."
"Oh, is it so?"
"This is coming from the public concession. It is said that in the area effectively controlled by the Japanese Empire, there are hidden treasures that the Chinese government did not have time to evacuate."
"Yeah?"
Looking in the mirror, Yano Renpei adjusted his clothes: "Do you think this rumor is true or false?"
"I can't make an accurate judgment." Chuaneng Dexing hesitated: "After all, after the war broke out, there were too many legends about treasures and the like."
Yano Renpei smiled and turned around:
"Yes, there are too many, but none of them are true. In fact, it is easy to identify the authenticity of these rumors. Why did the Chinese government bury the so-called treasure here? How did the people know this 'secret' ? Ridiculous. People who make up such rumors are either spreading rumors to confuse the public or have ulterior motives."
He didn't bother to pay attention to such legends:
"Come on, let's go visit Ms. Gracie."
…
"Report, Tang Zihuan has left Huzhou and will arrive in Shanghai in the near future. According to the deployment, Tang Zihuan will first arrive in Yixing, then enter Wuxi, all the way to Shanghai."
Meng Shaoyuan listened to the report and tapped his fingers on the table unconsciously: "The attack on the Japanese army's food road has begun. The situation in Yixing, Wuxi and other places is different from before and much more complicated. Let Wei Yunzhe and Wang Jingzhong, specially Deploy manpower to ensure that Tang Zihuan can reach Shanghai safely."
"yes!"
Meng Shaoyuan was not too worried about Tang Zihuan's situation. He was more concerned about the Japanese-controlled area: "How many days has Gracie been there?"
"Yes." Wu Jingyi said: "She has successfully rented No. 520 Zhengmin Road, and I followed her request and started taking action. But I still don't quite understand what she is going to do. What about you, if it were you, what would you do? How to do it?"
Meng Shaoyuan was silent for a while and said:
"If it were me, I would create chaos first, and then wait for an opportunity to enter and transport the target. In fact, during this time, I was also thinking about what I should do. The big plan is already there, but there are just some small points. I haven’t quite figured it out yet.”
At this point, he suddenly smiled: "Since it has been left to Gracie, why should I bother? Take good care of her three children for me, and make sure to give them the best treatment."
Only when people have no worries can they do their best to do things.
The same goes for Gracie.
…
"Ms. Gracie."
"Mr. Yano, welcome, please take a seat."
As soon as Yano Renhei sat down, he noticed that the place had been carefully redesigned.
French style furniture, Spanish velvet curtains and carpets.
Butler Qiu served English black tea with small round biscuits as a snack.
Around, there are some paintings hanging.
Yano Renhei only knew that these paintings were probably made by European and American painters, but he didn't understand the rest.
Of course, these things are not what he cares about: "Ms. Gracie, is everything going well?"
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Yano."
Gracie smiled and said: "Without your generosity, maybe my printing shop would not be able to start operation until now."
Why does a printing factory have to be opened in an area controlled by the Japanese?
This is the biggest problem.
But Yano Renhei did not ask: "Ms. Gracie, you rented this place again and re-decorated it. You must have spent a lot of money, right?"
"Yes, it cost some money."
"I have some curiosity." Yano Renpei slowly began to lead the topic to what he wanted to know: "I did some research on you. I'm sorry, that is my professional habit."
"It doesn't matter, you rented the place to me, that's what it should be."
"Then, please allow me to ask a question. You and your missing husband didn't live in a particularly wealthy life before, but you appear in front of me in an expensive car with a well-trained driver and housekeeper. , and also decorated the room with such luxury, may I ask, where did all this money come from?”
After Yano Renping finished asking these questions, he found that Gracie's eyes blinked rapidly several times.
He is the police chief, has interrogated countless prisoners, and has accumulated a lot of experience. He has summarized the behavior of many prisoners during interrogations.
For example, Gracie's rapid eye blinking action just now is a normal physiological reaction when being asked key core questions.
It represents a kind of panic.
But then, Gracie smiled and said: "My husband is actually not what others think. He has been doing business in Shanghai for many years and has accumulated a lot of property, but he is very stingy. But he disappeared and I became these The heir to the property..."
"Ma'am, your coffee is cold. It's time to change it."
At this moment, Butler Qiu interrupted Gracie.
"Oh, okay." Gracie stopped talking immediately.
Yano Renping glanced at Butler Qiu, and then at Gracie: "Well, where your property comes from has nothing to do with me. I have no other purpose here today, I just want to see you If you need help with anything, I think we are neighbors. If you need help with anything, you can tell me."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Principal."
"Then I'll take my leave."
"Okay, I'll send you off."
Yano Renping stood up, and Gracie ordered Butler Qiu to send him to the door.
"When did you become Mrs. Gracie's housekeeper?"
When they arrived at the door, Yano Renpei suddenly asked in Chinese.
"soon."
Butler Qiu said calmly.
Yano Renpei smiled: "You are an interesting housekeeper, serve Mrs. Gracie well, maybe we will meet again soon."
"Okay, Mr. Police Chief."
…
"They showed their flaws."
As soon as he got back in the car, Yano Renpei said immediately: "Maybe Gracie is just a puppet. The one who really controls the overall situation is probably the housekeeper. As for the source of the property, it will be difficult for Gracie to justify herself, but as for At this moment, the housekeeper suddenly interrupted her with the excuse that the coffee was cold, which was interesting, really interesting."
"Also, since the so-called equipment and workers arrived, the door of 520 has been locked, and no sound of machine operation can be heard inside."
"Printing shop?"
Yano Renhei said contemptuously: "Which printing factory would open in that place? What I am most interested in is what conspiracy they are carrying out? Kawanobu-kun, maybe we should raid No. 520."
"Now?"
"No, give them some time."
Yano Renhei thought for a moment: "In five days, we will conduct a raid on No. 520."
"yes."
"She must not be from the military command, I'm sure."
Yano Renpei pondered: "What is her true identity?"
