…
Ye Anran left the airport with Du Yuesheng and Anna.
The motorcade drove on the highway in Shanghai, attracting many passers-by to stop and watch.
In Shanghai, cars are a relatively common means of transportation.
Dozens of cars and military vehicles gathered together.
That's relatively rare.
Ye Anran sat in the car and looked out the window at the people who were paying attention.
I feel a little disappointed.
There is no Chinese garrison in the huge city of Shanghai...
Foreign troops are everywhere...
ridiculous!
The vehicle passes by Sihang Warehouse.
Ye Anran stopped the car.
He opened the door and got out of the car, looked at the magnificent Sihang Warehouse not far in front of him, and paid attention.
Anna got out of the car and followed Ye Anran's gaze to look at the majestic and clean walls of Sihang Warehouse.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Anran shook his head, "Nothing."
After that, he returned to the car.
He will never forget the eight hundred warriors who guarded the Sixing Warehouse back then.
The convoy entered the French Concession.
Stop in front of Huizhong Hotel.
night.
Du Yuesheng was the host and invited Ye Anran, Anna, August and others to dine.
Due to the urgency of the current situation and the mission, Ye Anran's actions were not made public.
Otherwise, according to his influence of sticking to Crane City and annihilating more than 200,000 Kwantung Army troops.
There may be a long queue of people picking you up at the airport.
The next day.
Kwantung Army Headquarters.
Doihara hurriedly rushed into the commander's residence with a secret message wrapped in his arms.
Muto Nobuki was kneeling on a futon. Less than one meter in front of him, two women from Kyoto, wearing kimonos and carrying "little schoolbags" on their backs, were dancing gracefully.
Just as he was getting excited, a voice came from the door, "General."
Muto Nobuki looked at Doihara who entered the door.
He motioned the woman to step back, "Commissioner, please take a seat."
Doihara did not sit down, he walked directly to Muto Nobuqiu and presented the secret power in his hand.
"General."
"A secret message came from the Intelligence Department of the Imperial Embassy in Shanghai."
"The commander of the Marine Special Marine Corps, Yanze Yixing, who went to intercept Ye Anran, was attacked by unknown armed forces and died!"
"With him were a dozen officers above the rank of major."
…
Doihara bowed his body, his expression extremely ugly.
After reading the secret message, Muto Nobuki suddenly opened his eyes angrily, "Baga!"
Doihara was startled and quickly responded: "Hai..."
Not long after Muto Nobuki arrived.
He received the information that Ye Anran was going to Shanghai Airport.
In order to gain Muto Nobuki's support and trust in the secret service, Doihara informed Muto of the information intact...
Muto Xinqiu knew that Ye Anran was going to Shanghai, so he immediately thought of kidnapping him.
Originally, Muto Nobuki planned to catch Ye Anran before Honjo Shigeru left Xinjing.
This tells Tian Locust how useless I am Zhuang Fan...
But, he didn't expect it in this matter.
It actually overturned.
"Have you found out who did it?"
Muto Nobuki was so angry that his eyes were red and the veins on his arms were bulging.
Doihara shook his head.
"The body was found on the beach."
"Those accompanying soldiers were beaten into sieves!"
"..."
Muto Nobuqiu swallowed, he closed his eyes and thought for a moment.
"About Shiozawa Issei."
"Don't tell anyone, we must investigate it secretly!"
"We must not let Kyoto know that Yanze Yixing died to help us capture Ye Anran!"
"Understand?"
Nobuki Muto has just arrived.
He hasn't had a good fight in this position yet.
If something goes wrong at this time, he is worried that his official position will not be guaranteed.
Doihara nodded solemnly, "General, don't worry, I will investigate secretly!"
"Go ahead."
"Hai!"
…
The news of Yanze Yixing's death spread quickly in Shanghai.
The news early that morning announced two things.
The headline news is that Kazuhoshi Shiozawa is dead.
What a miserable death!
The other is that a mysterious man suddenly arrived in Shanghai, and Du Yuesheng, the boss of Hengshe, personally received him.
Ye Anran was eating morning tea.
Read the newspaper.
Mystery man?
It has to be said that no matter what age you are, people who work in journalism have the most sensitive sense of smell.
In the restaurant of Huizhong Hotel.
High direct flight and pilot table.
When he saw Ye Anran, he held the bowls and chopsticks and got together.
"gentlemen."
"Where are you going soon? Can you take me with you?"
Gao Zhihang hadn't been out for a long time, and he wanted to wander around.
I don't dare to go outside.
He was afraid of seeing the Japs walking on the road and couldn't help but beat them.
Ye Anran nodded lightly, "It's in the hotel anyway."
"Thank you, sir."
…
Nine in the morning.
A dozen military vehicles suddenly drove up in front of the Huizhong Hotel.
The people standing in the car were all soldiers of the national army.
They immediately blocked and monitored the streets near the hotel.
at the same time.
The police from the public concession patrol house also secretly gathered near the Huizhong Hotel.
Except these people.
There are even agents from the Renaissance Society.
Ye Anran stood in the corridor on the second floor and looked down.
Just enough to see the person coming.
About five minutes passed.
Cars parked in front of the hotel.
Those experts who had returned from studying abroad entered the hotel under the protection of police and national army soldiers.
at the same time.
The Lord of Shanghai City personally greeted him in the hotel lobby.
It can be seen that Jinling also attaches great importance to the return of scientists.
First, they could send troops into the French Concession.
It is enough to show that none of these people are simple.
Just when he was looking at it fascinatedly, Du Yuesheng suddenly came to Ye Anran's side.
He handed over three invitations.
"I only got five."
"Did you see it?"
"It's a bit difficult to take those scientific researchers away from here!"
Du Yuesheng sighed softly.
"There have been no troops in Jinling for a long time, and they have never been to Shanghai in full force like today."
Ye Anran accepted the invitation.
Said "Thank you."
Ye Anran was not sure whether he could take away the nine scientists.
At the moment, it seems that it is safer to stay in Shanghai.
However, Ye Anran knew it very well.
The security here cannot last long.
His current strength is a full complement of three German weapon divisions.
It is also impossible to enter and fight.
He and Ma Jinshan want to guard the northern gate of China.
Prevent the Northeast from becoming a logistical supply point for the Japanese to attack China.
Compared to other cities, Crane City is currently considered impregnable.
Ye Anran still wanted to try his best.
Ten o'clock.
Nationalist soldiers blocked the stairs and elevators leading to the conference room.
A sentry was set up on the first floor.
Only those with an invitation letter can enter the elevator.
Ye Anran, Gao Zhihang and Ma Jinhai showed their invitation letters and entered the elevator.
When Huizhong Hotel was first built, it was equipped with two Otis brand elevators, which were the earliest electric elevators in Shanghai.
Until the North Tower was completed in 1929, it had 12 floors and was known as the first building in the Far East!
Arrive at the ninth floor.
