Along the way, Ma Xiaoguang got to know Commissioner Wang, and realized that he was not a rhetorician like other civil servants in the government, but a practical person.
Ma Xiaoguang felt a stone fall in his heart when he saw Commissioner Wang express his position without any pretense.
He turned to everyone and said: "Our agents' work has been completed. If the intelligence is sent one day late, the effect will be less. This work of organizing the people, expelling the Japanese invaders, and restoring the grassland requires Commissioner Lao Wang!"
"This is Wang's responsibility!" Wang Deqian readily agreed.
"It's just that I have to leave it to you to contact the monks and laity and resist foreign aggression!"
Wang Degan turned his head and saluted Lama Bilig, Red Tangut and Doctor Siqin.
When the three of them saw this, they quickly stood up and saluted.
"We have already obtained information and confessions about this prisoner. He is burdened by the burden and has to be dealt with by the commissioner, so we are ready to leave!" Ma Xiaoguang also saluted everyone.
Everyone agreed in unison.
After resting for one night at the campsite, Ma Xiaoguang and the others set out south the next day and embarked on their return journey.
The four of them traveled all the way, and in mid-August, they finally returned to the furnace-like Jinling City.
The steamer-like office of the Special Operations Group in Chicken Goose Lane.
"If I had known it, I would have stayed in the northwest for a longer time..." The fat man sat on the chair with sweat on his face, looking in a daze.
"Ma Dan, what the hell kind of weather is this!" Ma Xiaoguang was also a little dizzy from the heat.
Only the capable Xiao Lu was busy there, making Commander Ma a little dizzy.
Lao Li took some new students for training on Laoshan, and even the dogs followed him to the mountain.
MISS Liu (Wu Qiuyi) and Lao Liu are managing business in a foreign company. There can't be no one in Jigo Alley.
So Chief Ma, Fatty and Xiao Lu are left behind here.
Now that a series of operations have been thwarted, the Japanese intelligence agencies seem to have entered a state of silence for the time being, and the special operations team has no important emergency tasks for the time being.
Some traitors and spies are under regular surveillance for the time being, and it is not yet time to take action.
I don’t know if it’s because of the unlucky weather, but everyone’s actions seem to have come to a standstill.
"Fat man, how about we discuss going to Shanghai with MISS Liu in a few days?" Chief Ma said.
"Where is this? You are the boss and the commander, so of course you have the final say!" Now that Fatty's old mother has gone to Yudu, she is a bachelor wherever she goes, so naturally it doesn't matter, and she immediately kicked the ball to Fatty.
In fact, Fatty is okay. Chief Ma is the most afraid of heat among all the special operations groups. He happened to be in the mountains during the hottest time last year, so naturally he didn't feel much. This year, he returned to China from the cool northwest during the hottest season. Jinling, one of the "big furnaces", is naturally even more uncomfortable under the contrast.
Chief Ma, who was bored, felt thorny in his heart, but he couldn't let it happen. He felt very depressed.
While flipping through the newspaper randomly, a piece of news attracted Commander Ma, "Xian Lesi Ballroom, air-conditioning equipment..."
"Huh? Is there air-conditioning equipment in Shanghai? This is incredible!"
"Sir, you are well-informed. Don't you also have the HSBC Bank and the Grand Guangming Cinema?" Xiao Lu, who was pouring water for Chief Ma next to him, said jokingly.
"Say, Master, it's not very hot this time. Why are you doing that? You're so wasteful!" The fat man quickly advised after hearing this.
Although I have never experienced air-conditioning, I heard that only high-end places like HSBC and Grand Guangming Cinema can afford it. Fat people know that it is not cheap. Although Chief Ma is not short of money, he can't waste his money like this, right?
Boss Ma didn't say anything after hearing the fat man's advice, but the temptation of the air-conditioning made him think about it. He also thought about going to Yudu in the future, where it would be even hotter, and he couldn't feel calm anymore.
At this moment, the phone on the desk rang. When I picked it up, it was the call from Operations Department Lao Xu himself.
Since the last incident on Hong Kong Island, Chief Ma's status in the Secret Service has been increasing day by day, otherwise he would not be allowed to be so free and loose.
Now Xiao Zhu usually contacts MISS Liu for everything. If there is an important situation, Lao Xu or Wang Puchen calls him.
Hearing Lao Xu's dry laughter on the phone, Chief Ma knew that another night owl must have entered the house, which was not a good thing.
I wanted to go home and work, but I still had to work. I endured the scorching heat, dressed up, and rushed to Lao Xu's office.
Xu Yuandao saw that Ma Xiaoguang was more kind, enthusiastic, and caring than before, which made Ma Xiaoguang slightly at a loss.
"As long as the section chief has instructions, Xi Ran will go all out and never refuse!"
"Xiran, I know you are a serious person. You just came back from the northwest. I should have let you have a good rest, but the military situation is urgent..."
"Please give me your orders, sir!"
"The situation is like this. Kong Dehui, the deputy director of Tanzhou Station, ran away! It is said that he was bribed by the Neon Ministry of Internal Affairs Special Higher Education Course and went to Shanghai. He has mastered many core secrets of Jiangcheng Station and Tanzhou Station. Central China We also know a lot of top-secret information in the area..." Xu Yuandao said in a heavy tone.
"I will do my best to capture this thief!" Ma Xiaoguang heard this and stood up without hesitation to accept the order.
"I know that Xi Ran is a sincere person. This time, he is also conveying the military order of Director Dai who is on a business trip. When he goes to Shanghai, he will either go to Shanghai to arrest the Kong thief or punish him on the spot!"
"Yes!" Ma Xiaoguang took the order concisely and clearly.
Coming out of Lao Xu's office, Chief Ma didn't feel like he had been cheated at all. Going to Shanghai would definitely be much better than staying in the stuffy Jinling.
When I returned to the office, I immediately gathered my troops, quickly packed my luggage, and took the night train to Shanghai.
This time, Chief Ma only brought Miss Liu and Fatty, while Xiao Lu had to stay in the office.
As soon as I got off the train, a cool breeze blew by. Sure enough, Shanghai was much cooler than Jinling.
It was still Charlie Cao who came to pick him up. As soon as he got on the carriage, the officer stopped talking and directly asked about the situation: "Is there any recent news at Neon Country Yoshida & Co. in Hongkou?"
"Recently, there have been fewer people coming in and out than before. Even the president, Toshiro Yoshida, is not here, but there are some in a few restaurants in the public concession." Lao Cao said the key point directly.
"This proves that they are indeed taking action." Ma Xiaoguang said thoughtfully.
"Lao Cao is good! The peripheral development is quite good." MISS Liu is still satisfied with Lao Cao's basic work.
"This is all due to Commander Ma's foresight and MISS Liu's command..." Lao Cao's rainbow fart was quickly presented.
"Brothers, please don't do too much... make arrangements. Fatty and I will go check it out tomorrow." Chief Ma said quickly.
"It has been arranged. Didn't you buy the damaged car last time? It has been repaired. All the necessary equipment has been placed on the car, and steel plates have been added to important places..." Lao Cao reported in an orderly manner.
…
Early the next morning, Miss Liu went to Tianma Yangxing, where communication was convenient and well-informed, and he happened to be in command.
Ma Xiaoguang and Fatty went to the Huxi garage to pick up the car.
The car had been repaired a long time ago, but unlike later generations, there were not many guarded parking lots in this era. Car thefts were particularly rampant in Shanghai, and Wu Sibao was an expert, so it was much safer to park the car in a repair shop.
The two drove and soon arrived at Hongkou Yoshida Foreign Trade Co., Ltd.
Compared with the constant flow of people coming and going on weekdays, business at Yoshida Yoko seems to have been much quieter these days, with only two or three kittens and puppies.
"What Lao Cao said is right, it seems they must have a big deal!" Fatty said to Chief Ma.
"Now we have to try to find the whereabouts of their president Toshiro Yoshida. If we find him, we should find the person named Kong..." Boss Ma thought.
"The Shanghai market is so big and there are so many big hotels, how do we know where Yoshida will be?"
"Well, it's easy to handle..." Ma Xiaoguang said nonchalantly.
Most of the people at Yoshida Yang Company did go out to perform tasks. Originally, the company was just a cover, and the weather was hot, so those who stayed behind were a little listless.
It was past noon, the heat was unbearable, there were fewer customers coming, and the staff were all a little out of spirits.
Just when everyone was drowsy, they suddenly heard a loud "bang" at the door. The shock wave of the explosion was so powerful that it shattered the glass of several windows inside.
"Enemy attack..." There was a commotion in the foreign bank.
After the chaos, the internal affairs section chief Wakahara Tomokazu who was left behind saw that there was no danger at the door, so he rushed over and asked, "Are there any casualties?"
"Report to the Section Chief, only one guard was injured and has been sent to the hospital..."
"That's good, let's clean up this place."
Ruo Yuan Zhihe returned to his office and quickly made a phone call: "Hello, International Hotel? Please answer room 1902..."
"How's it going? Isn't this a good idea?" Not far from the foreign bank, under a telephone pole, Ma Xiaoguang, disguised as a telephone station maintenance worker, smiled at the fat man, with a bypass telephone line hanging next to him.
"Good idea. Now we know that Yoshida is at the International Hotel, and most of the people named Kong are also there. So what are you waiting for? Let's go to the International Hotel now..."
"Ahem, don't be in a hurry, just inform Lao Cao and let the surrounding manpower keep an eye on it. We have to prepare before we go to the International Hotel." Ma Xiaoguang said calmly.
Of course, the preparation time did not take long. In the evening of that day, Master Senpo (Ma Xiaoguang), Mistress (Wu Qiuyi), and Butler Fan (Fat Man) also checked into the International Hotel on Park Road, Jing'an Temple.
The three of them lived together in a suite on the 18th floor, which had a master bedroom and a twin-bed secondary bedroom, which could accommodate three people.
The master bedroom was given to the lady, and Master Senpo happily squeezed into the second bedroom with Butler Fan.
The international deluxe suite on the 19th floor was too expensive. There was no need to waste money. The key was that there was no room available. Manager Lu of the hotel smiled and refused to answer the specific reason.
"I guess the Neon Devils have covered or reserved all the 19th floor..." Fatty said after checking to make sure there was no eavesdropping.
"This international hotel is nice, it actually has air conditioning!" Master Senpo focused on something different.
"Your young master is playing tricks again!" Miss Liu Que said with a smile.
"Master, you won't take action tonight to kill the man named Kong, right?"
"Master, I won't be impulsive. Impulsiveness is the devil. We have to check the situation on the 19th floor before we talk." Master Senpo said with a smile after he cooled down and calmed down.
