Yuan Cheng, who has always been remembered by Tangcheng, is currently in a small hotel, standing sideways in front of the window and looking out into the street. Behind him, there are two men in suits. Just looking at the bulge on the waists of these two men in suits, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that these two men in suits are not ordinary people. After Yuan Cheng defected to Ttech, he was protected by Ttech in Hongkou District. After being repeatedly investigated and interrogated by Ttech, Yuan Cheng came to the French Concession in accordance with Ttech's order and cooperated with an action team of Ttech to find the Shanghai Station of the Intelligence Department. A stronghold in the French Concession.
After Yuan Cheng defected, all the strongholds deployed by the Intelligence Agency in the concession were moved to different places. There was a small restaurant diagonally opposite the hotel where Yuan Cheng and the others were staying, and Tegoko suspected that it was a secret stronghold of the Intelligence Agency. Yuan Cheng's mission is to hide in a room on the second floor of this small hotel, observe the small restaurant diagonally opposite the hotel, and identify suspicious people from the guests entering and leaving the small restaurant.
For two days in a row, Yuan Cheng and these two plainclothes agents from the Special High School stayed in this room on the second floor of the hotel. In addition to going to the toilet, even food and water were brought into the room by other plainclothes agents. Hard work takes no effort. This sentence did not seem to be fulfilled by Yuan Cheng and the other two people. After two days of continuous staring, Yuan Cheng looked at everyone entering and leaving the small restaurant, but he could not find out that there was an intelligence office at the Shanghai Station. people.
"Senior Haneda, do you think the intelligence this time is wrong? We have been watching for two days, and Yuan Sang has not found anyone from the intelligence office entering or leaving the restaurant opposite." The younger of the two plainclothes agents The one who finally couldn't bear it anymore, lowered his voice and asked the middle-aged companion beside him who was smoking cigarettes.
The middle-aged agent, who was called Haneda-senpai by the young agents, did not raise his head when he heard this. He just said in a low voice, "Kogoro, when you were training, didn't your instructor tell you that you must be patient when performing tasks? ? Especially for a surveillance mission like this, you can’t get results in a day or two. As for whether the intelligence this time is wrong, that is not something we can discuss. Our Captain Sasaki, when he was at the base camp, he was a Very strict person.”
The young agent named Kogoro did not immediately understand what his senior meant. After the other party blinked at him continuously, Kogoro finally understood and hurriedly bowed to his senior. Tesco is not monolithic, there are also factions. The Captain Sasaki they just mentioned was just transferred from the mainland. Yuan Cheng, who was standing behind them at this moment, was in a certain sense a direct subordinate of Captain Sasaki.
As time passed, Yuan Chengyou, who had been standing by the window, was patient, but the cigarette butts at his feet had already revealed his irritability and impatience. Suddenly, a slightly familiar looking figure made Yuan Cheng's brows jump. But for a moment, Yuan Cheng couldn't remember where he had seen this man in cotton robes. After a few breaths, Yuan Cheng, who was highly concentrated, slapped his forehead. He finally remembered who the familiar man in the long gown was.
"Haneda-kun, the middle-aged man wearing a brown cotton robe and a polite headdress who came in just now should be the special correspondent from the Nanjing headquarters of the Intelligence Agency, named Bai Zhanshan." There was a hint of excitement in Yuan Cheng's face. He defected from Shanghai Station. How could he not know the weight of Bai Zhan Mountain? That was the special correspondent sent to Shanghai from the Nanjing headquarters of the Intelligence Division. How could ordinary members of the Intelligence Division compare to this special correspondent? This was a big fish.
The excitement on Yuan Cheng's face seemed to be infected by the other two people, and the originally lifeless room instantly became heated. Haneda was stunned for a few seconds, then he immediately opened the door and went to the next room. A few seconds later, two plainclothes agents dressed as lovers hurried downstairs and left the hotel, and walked straight across the street into the small restaurant diagonally opposite. The Haneda trio were only responsible for observing the small restaurant diagonally opposite in this room, but there were other people taking the actual action. The man and woman who just came downstairs were the ones responsible for keeping track.
Knowing that Bai Zhanshan was a special correspondent sent to Shanghai from the Nanjing headquarters of the Intelligence Agency, T&G decided to secretly follow him and try to use him to locate the bases and personnel of the Intelligence Agency in the concession. Bai Zhanshan, who was discovered by Yuan Cheng, didn't know that he was being watched at this moment. After putting a note in the banknote and handing it to the restaurant waiter, Bai Zhanshan, who had only eaten a bowl of noodles, immediately got up and left.
"He left!" Yuan Cheng, who was standing in front of the window, shouted in a low voice. Kogoro, who had been eager to try, squeezed to Yuan Cheng's side and looked out at the street through the gap in the curtains. The young Kogoro had long been tired of this fixed surveillance mission. The desire and eagerness in his heart made him exert too much force in his excitement. When he squeezed Yuan Cheng away, his left hand happened to touch the curtain on one side. He actually accidentally pulled out the gap in the curtain enough for his head to get through.
Bai Zhanshan, who was born in the military, became a monk and was transferred to the Intelligence Division. After entering the Nanjing headquarters of the Intelligence Division, he served as an operations captain. Although he did not receive systematic training, he learned something about counter-reconnaissance from what he heard and witnessed every day. means. When he walked out of the small restaurant, Bai Zhanshan used the action of wearing a hat to glance left and right as a habit. Just as he turned around, his eyes inadvertently looked to his left as his body turned. The changes in the curtains of a room on the second floor of the hotel across the street immediately came into his sight.
Bai Zhanshan couldn't help but feel a flash in his heart. The fact that the curtains were closed in broad daylight was very suspicious in itself. He had clearly seen the curtains behind the window change just now, but the curtains that had been torn open immediately returned to their original state. Bai Zhanshan, who was already very suspicious, felt cold sweat break out on his back. When he was in Nanjing, he specialized in catching Japanese spies. He was very familiar with how to monitor targets.
Thinking about countermeasures quickly in his mind, Bai Zhanshan calmly continued walking along the street to the intersection in front. If it were anyone else, at this time, he would have used the street window to observe the other side of the street, or he would have lowered his head to light a cigarette and leaned over. The fake act of tying shoelaces to determine if there is a suspicious person behind you. But Bai Zhanshan didn't do that. He just walked along with the flow of people, without turning back or stopping suddenly.
The man and woman who followed Bai Zhanshan out of the small restaurant did not notice that the target they were following was alert. However, they never expected that just ten meters behind them, a rickshaw driver pulling an empty rickshaw had already turned his attention. throw yourself at them. The appearance of rickshaws did not attract the attention of Yuan Cheng and the other three people in the hotel. Although this street was not the main street, it was still lively, and rickshaws appeared from time to time.
Yuan Cheng and the others didn't know that the rickshaw driver who had just passed by the hotel was a subordinate brought by Bai Zhanshan from Nanjing. After Bai Zhanshan left the small restaurant, he was supposed to get on the rickshaw immediately. However, due to Bai Zhanshan's sudden alertness, he immediately left on foot. This was also a warning signal to the subordinate who was disguised as a rickshaw driver. .
Bai Zhanshan's move of leaving on foot really alarmed the man who was disguised as a rickshaw driver. When he saw Bai Zhanshan turn around and leave, he did not follow him immediately. Instead, he slowed down and secretly paid attention to the people walking behind Bai Zhanshan on the other side of the street. The pair of young spies sent by Utech and disguised as a couple soon came into the sight of the rickshaw driver. After following the two for more than ten meters, they pulled a female passenger's rickshaw on the side of the road and accelerated past the couple. Japanese spy.
The woman sitting on the rickshaw was also Bai Zhanshan's subordinate brought from Nanjing. She was also surprised that Bai Zhanshan did not look at her or call her when he passed by her. "Sister Hua, the captain has been targeted by someone. It was the young couple who followed them all the way out of the small restaurant. I saw it with my own eyes." The driver's explanation made the woman in the rickshaw named Sister Hua suddenly realize. Bai Zhanshan's strange behavior just now should be that he has discovered something.
Seeing the rickshaw pulling Sister Hua away from the other side of the street without looking back, Bai Zhanshan, who was walking on the street, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his two men had understood what he meant. According to Bai Zhanshan's schedule today, after he came out of the small restaurant, he should get in a rickshaw and pretend to be a couple with Sister Hua, and attend a private party as a businessman. The two men who came to rescue him had left. Bai Zhanshan felt relieved, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
The man and woman sent by Ttech followed Bai Zhanshan from a distance. After walking through two streets in a row, they realized that something seemed wrong. "Komatsu-kun, do you think he has discovered us?" Michiko Matsushita, who had been holding her companion's arm, whispered. At the same time, she turned to look across the street, and kept wondering in her heart, when will the headquarters' backup be available? arrive? The two of them were so distracted that when they looked ahead again, they found that the target could no longer be seen.
Suddenly losing sight of their target, the two of them suddenly became anxious, especially Michiko, who started running forward quickly. The two of them ran to the location where the target disappeared in their memory, and then they discovered that there was an alley beside the street. Seeing the alley, the two couldn't help but look at each other. Their goal should be to get into this alley. Without any hesitation, Michiko pulled out the pistol with her backhand and got into the alley ahead of her companions.
The young male and female agents entered the alley one after another, but unfortunately they found nothing. When they asked the children playing in the alley, they all shook their heads. "Damn it, let him run away." Michiko's face was full of ferocity at the moment. She walked through the entire alley and found that the other end of the alley was on the next street. Michiko and the two looked depressed, knowing that this mission It was a complete smash.
