Lao Li's reminder made Ma Xiaoguang and Fatty vigilantly start observing the situation on the other side again.
Upon closer inspection, there is indeed hidden murderous intent behind the calm appearance of Jinling City Hall.
The sentry outside the gate of the division headquarters has not changed much.
But things are different inside.
There are shadowy figures upstairs in Mingyuan, and there seem to be some more people...
There seemed to be a few more people in the division headquarters.
In the dark night, it was not very clear, but the agent's intuition told the three of them that the figure in the yard must have an ulterior motive...
Ma Xiaoguang said in a deep voice: "It seems that we have to be careful and let Lao Tu and the others explore during the day... But we have to ask them to pay attention to their safety."
The next day, the three of them did not go to investigate again. Instead, Lao Tu and Zhang Aqi pretended to be cleaners and went to investigate again.
Since they have been responsible for the cleaning work in the area of Shifu Road and Mingyuan Building for a long time, if Lao Tu and Zhang Ah Qi did not go, it would arouse some unnecessary suspicion.
Now we can only adapt to the ever-changing situation, and first clarify the situation.
However, Ma Xiaoguang and the other three were not idle either. They each took on tasks and acted separately.
Lao Li stayed in Yizhuang. There were a lot of important and fatal things here, and it wouldn't work without a reliable person to look after them.
The fat man mysteriously went to Qichang Foreign Company to represent Mr. Ma to meet romantic friends.
Ma Xiaoguang refitted again and went to Xinjiekou alone.
This time he did not pretend to be a priest or a cleaner, but changed into a normal suit, but with a cuff on his left arm.
On the sleeve band is the logo of the "Jinling Autonomous Committee" under preparation.
This so-called "Jinling Autonomous Committee" is a traitor organization. Not long after the fall of Jinling, a group of people with no bones or ulterior motives defected to the Neon Army.
It will be 1938 in two days, and on New Year's Day, the pseudo-Jinling Autonomous Committee will be established.
Therefore, during this period, the Neon Army will not be detrimental to the people of the "Committee".
Ma Xiaoguang came from the former "Jiangnan Evening News" newspaper office.
The place was already in a mess, and the tattered signboard was still on the ground, watching everything in front of him silently.
Ma Xiaoguang walked from the concierge to his former office. Everything seemed familiar yet completely unfamiliar.
What we are familiar with is the architecture, but what is unfamiliar is the environment.
After walking around inside and finding nothing special, Ma Xiaoguang returned to the concierge.
Ma Xiaoguang found a tattered cabinet in the concierge and sat down, lit up a Hardman and started smoking by himself.
Ma Xiaoguang followed the figure last time. Based on his few impressions, he intuitively felt that he should know this person and that he was from this newspaper.
As for who it is, we have to investigate carefully.
The editor-in-chief "Dead Face" of the Tiance Intelligence Team, who had been dismissed, had already received the news and ran away to Shanghai very early.
And considering the person he is, he will definitely not risk losing his head by coming back, so it definitely won't be him.
As for the other people in the newspaper office, Ma Xiaoguang analyzed them one by one but felt that it was impossible.
However, intuitively, he felt that the figure must be related to the newspaper office, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence that day.
Ma Xiaoguang wanted to find this person because the situation in the Ninth Division and even Jinling City had changed, and he needed to find someone who was familiar with the situation in Jinling City.
By giving a warning to "Qichang Foreign Company", Ma Xiaoguang determined that this person was not only familiar with the situation in Jinling, but also had strong intelligence and action capabilities.
After analyzing various circumstances and evidence, he found that this person was a friend rather than an enemy, so he was even more eager to find this person...
Since there were no other clues, Ma Xiaoguang could only return to the newspaper office again. He felt that the man must have appeared intentionally that day.
Ma Xiaoguang felt that when the time was right, that person would appear again.
I smoked half a pack of cigarettes, but I didn’t find the person I wanted to wait for.
Ma Xiaoguang was not disappointed, but carefully picked up the cigarette butts on the ground, put them away one by one, wrapped them in an old newspaper, and took them with him.
This does not mean that Chief Ma cares about public health. He does not want to leave more traces of his visit.
Just as he was picking up the cigarette butts, Ma Xiaoguang saw something on the ground.
This is a cork.
This is the cork of a red wine bottle. It should have just been taken off a wine bottle. It still has a faint aroma of red wine.
Ma Xiaoguang picked up the cork and smiled playfully...
After leaving the newspaper office, Ma Xiaoguang returned to Sanyuan Alley.
At the entrance of the alley, Zhang Ahqi was immersed in packing tools and dung trucks. When he saw Ma Xiaoguang, he only exchanged a look with him and did not communicate more.
This is a sign that everything is OK.
In Yizhuang.
Lao Tu has come back and is bragging and spanking with Lao Li.
"As expected, the Japanese have strengthened the defense inside the division headquarters. Most of them are military police, and some of them seem to be agents..."
Old Tu was speaking solemnly to Old Li.
Hearing this, Lao Li asked with concern: "Is it just the Ninth Division, or are all the Japanese troops on alert?"
"Almost everything."
Old Tu said to Old Li in a deep voice.
"That's right! If only the Ninth Division had them, we wouldn't be able to do this drama."
Ma Xiaoguang nodded and answered.
"The Japanese have stepped up their vigilance. Our dung trucks and dung buckets were inspected when we entered and exited today, and we also stepped up checks on the streets. It's not going to be easy this time."
Lao Tu shook his head worriedly and said.
"The road will naturally be straight to the bridge. A living person cannot be suffocated to death. Our plan remains as usual. Even if we can't kill the old devil, we still have to scare him half to death..."
Ma Xiaoguang waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
Naturally, everyone must carry out Commander Ma's orders to the letter - even though they all have some doubts in their minds.
What's more, everyone also hopes to get some Japanese to ascend to heaven - it's okay to vent their anger!
In the evening, when Ma Xiaoguang and Lao Li returned to the safe house, Fatty had just returned.
"With the Japs making such a fuss, our work will be difficult to do."
The fat man had a bitter look on his face and sat there pouring out his bitterness.
"It's not easy to do it, but it has to be done. Do you want us agents to do it?"
Ma Xiaoguang's face straightened, he gritted his molar teeth and said fiercely.
"I understand that, but I just feel that if I act stupidly like this, I'm afraid I will die."
Seeing Chief Ma's fierce look, the fat man admonished him with some fear.
"Who said you have to be stupid? This commander has a clever plan. Everyone just needs to be prepared and work hard. It's the Chinese New Year and we have to set off a big fireworks!"
Ma Xiaoguang's expression changed again, he rolled his eyes and said to Fatty and Lao Li with a strange smile.
Seeing Chief Ma's expression, Fatty and Lao Li didn't panic anymore.
I have been following him for such a long time. Once I see him like this, things will probably fall into place.
Everyone settled down and made their preparations according to the original plan.
Of course, apart from the people in the special operations team, others are also doing their own things, including Matsushima Aohiko.
Qingqi Qingyin left Jinling, and the espionage work here was taken over by Songdao Qingyan.
He is making arrangements according to the strategy left by Lieutenant Qingqi...
In their respective busyness, the old year has passed and the new year has arrived.
