Li Junshi was very relieved to receive Xie Xuan's call.
He had already heard the news that Xie Xuan and Ren Daoyuan had dinner at Nanjing Hotel, and he was indeed a little unhappy at the time.
But now that he received a call from Xie Xuan, he instantly felt that he had indeed seen the right person.
Li Junshi pondered: "It would also be good for you to get to know Kenshiro Shibayama. He may be in charge of the top military advisory group in the future."
Xie Xuan hesitated and said: "I always feel something is wrong. I am worried that it will make them think that the Secret Service is not united and that the governor and I are not of the same mind."
Li Junshi said: "Why should we care about other people's opinions when doing things? You can rest assured that you can contact Shibayama Kenshiro, and you can also make him feel that you and I are not of the same mind. I want to see what the Japanese want to do."
Xie Xuan said: "Okay, I will report to the governor after I meet with Shibayama Kenshiro."
He was originally worried that Li Junshi would be unhappy with him going to Ren Daoyuan's house for a banquet, but he didn't expect that he would actually ask for it, which played into his own hands.
Li Junshi suddenly said: "By the way, Naomi Ueno called you just now."
"Ueno Naomi? What does she want from me?"
Li Junshi said: "It seems that I met a friend of yours at Shenpu Railway Station. She is also a woman. They are coming to Suzhou together."
Xie Xuan said nonchalantly: "It should be Gu Jiahan."
He looked calm on the surface, but inside he was in a turmoil.
According to his order, Yang Zhiyi and Gu Jiahan will go to Suzhou today and live in the place he arranged.
Who would have thought that I would meet Naomi Ueno at the train station?
This is troublesome. If Gu Jiahan doesn't handle it well, his identity will be exposed.
"Gu Jiahan? The one from Jiqing Tea House before? Your old friend?"
When Li Junshi talked about the latter part, there was a smile in his tone.
Everyone in the Secret Service knew that Xie Xuan liked Gu Jiahan, the proprietress of Jiqing Tea House.
Later, Gu Jiahan suddenly left Shenpu, and Xie Xuan was very disappointed, and even took over Jiqing Teahouse specifically to make up for the regret in his heart.
"We can't talk about our old sweetheart. Now that we meet her again this time, we naturally can't let her run away again."
"You, you have a sharp mind and quick actions when you are working as a spy. How come you are the mother-in-law when you meet a woman? One day, a bully will come to you and cook the raw rice into cooked rice. Are you still afraid that she will run away? Women, If you want to do it, just be direct. If you sleep, it's yours. If you don't, it will always be someone else's."
"This..., I may not be able to do it yet. I always want to give her and myself a perfect marriage. The best outcome is when things happen."
"Nine times out of ten things you do will not go as you want. You have to speed up the process this time, otherwise I will help you."
Xie Xuan was brilliant in everything he did, but he was always procrastinating when it came to the woman in front of him.
Later, Xie Xuan called Captain Imamura, the captain of the Suzhou Military Police: "Imamura-kun, there is something I think I need to talk to you about first."
"What's up?"
Xie Xuan said: "Tatsumi Ishii from the Suzhou Interrogation and Inspection Office is suspected of being a communist."
Yang Zhiyi had already sent a telegram to the New Fourth Army last night. With the cooperation of the New Fourth Army, the evidence would be conclusive not to mention that Ishii Tatsumi was a Communist, but that he was a Communist.
Captain Imamura said in surprise: "Ishii Tatsumi? Tongkom?"
Xie Xuan said: "I will tell you this in person after I return to Suzhou. Now I have to trouble you and send someone to keep Ishii Tatsumi under surveillance."
Captain Imamura said: "No problem. If Ishii Tatsumi is really a communist, the military police will investigate him."
The Secret Service cannot intervene in cases involving Japanese people.
Xie Xuan informed Captain Imamura that he also wanted the Japanese to investigate on their own. Once they found out that Tatsumi Ishii was indeed suspected of being a communist, there would be no need for him to come forward for the rest.
What the Japanese are most afraid of now is the emergence of communists within their own country.
Even Tokyo has a branch of the Communist Party, and it is not unusual for the Communist Party to appear in the Suzhou Inquisition Office.
Because Ueno Naomi met Gu Jiahan, Xie Xuan was under great psychological pressure when he went to Ren Daoyuan for a banquet in the evening.
While he had to deal with Ren Daoyuan and Shibayama Kenshiro, he also had to think about what happened to Gu Jiahan and Ueno Naomi.
Oishi Sachiko had been eyeing Gu Jiahan before, and now Ueno Naomi is in contact with Gu Jiahan again. Can't these Japanese female spies just stop for a while?
But no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't show it on his face, and even flattered Shibayama Kenshiro from time to time.
Shibayama Kenshiro can speak standard Beijing dialect, also knows Chinese culture very well, and can discuss the past and present with Xie Xuan.
Just from their conversation, no one could tell that this was an old spy.
Shibayama Kenshiro is also very satisfied with Xie Xuan's performance. Xie Xuan is young but very knowledgeable.
Shibayama Kenshiro took Xie Xuan's hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Xie, if we have the opportunity in the future, we can meet more and communicate more."
Xie Xuan said sincerely: "If you have the opportunity in the future, you must ask Mr. Chai Shan for advice. I heard that Mr. Chai Shan is good at painting. If there is a chance, I hope to ask him to be an assistant painter."
Shibayama Kenshiro said: "No problem. After a while, I will draw a painting specially for Mr. Xie, and I will send someone to Suzhou at that time."
Xie Xuan immediately said: "Thank you very much Mr. Chai Shan. I will definitely treasure this painting."
Although Shibayama Kenshiro is an old spy, at the banquet, he did not talk about work, but only chatted with Xie Xuan about Chinese culture or interesting stories from various places.
And Xie Xuan is also very knowledgeable. Today's meeting with Shibayama Kenshiro can only be understood but cannot be explained.
Both of them knew what the other was thinking, but neither said it out loud.
It was already very late when Xie Xuan left. He was a bit drunk today. Ren Daoyuan was worried about him driving, so he sent someone to take him back.
In fact, Xie Xuan was not drunk, but he could only pretend to be drunk. He could get high, but he could never get drunk.
Given his status, if he says the wrong word, all his previous efforts will be in vain.
In the car that took Xie Xuan back, there was not only the driver, but also a middle-aged man.
After arriving at Xie Xuan's house, the middle-aged man personally escorted Xie Xuan in.
"Mr. Xie, this is Wu's kindness. The life-saving grace will be unforgettable."
It turned out that the person who sent him back was Ren Daoyuan's personal secretary Wu Guanli.
Xie Xuan opened his confused eyes and asked: "Are you..."
"I, Wu Guanli."
Xie Xuan said disapprovingly: "It turns out it's you. It's a trivial matter and not worth mentioning."
Wu Guanli said firmly: "For Mr. Xie, it may be a trivial task, but for Mr. Wu, it is a life. From now on, whenever Mr. Xie gives orders, Mr. Wu will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Xie Xuan suddenly said: "Oh, if I asked you to tell some of Minister Ren's secrets, would you tell me? Do you dare to tell me?"
Wu Guanli gritted his teeth and said: "This... as long as Wu knows it, he will definitely know everything and tell you everything."
