The reporter who was selected by Chen Lei to be the back-handed man, his name was Han Kun, and he worked for the "Huangpu River Daily" in the French Concession in Shanghai, and he was an informant bribed by the Mei organ, and he betrayed many anti-Japanese patriots who worked as editors and reporters in several newspapers in the French Concession.

Not only that, this Cao Kun was insidious and cunning, he was not only an informant bought by the Mei organ, but also secretly colluded with the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, and most of the patriots who worked as editors and reporters in many newspapers he betrayed were left-wingers, and while resisting Japan, he also deeply hated the reactionaries of the Dog People's Party.

But the most important problem at hand is that Sun Chenglin, who has been safely evacuated from Shanghai Beach on a flight to Shancheng, also has a major suspicion.

If Li Shijun took the people from the No. 76 Agent Headquarters, after a day of investigation and questioning at the Japanese Navy Club, he would really be able to see through Sun Chenglin pretending to be a reporter and sneaking in with an invitation.

From this point of view, Chen Lei still believes very much that Li Shijun has the ability to do this, and when the time comes, the No. 76 Agent Headquarters will determine that Sun Chenglin is the murderer who blew up the arms warehouse of the Japanese Navy Headquarters, so he will pull Han Kun to follow him on his back.

With the memory preserved in his head, Chen Lei obtained a piece of physical evidence that confirmed that Cao Kun was a supernumerary member of the military command, that is, he found a roster of supernumerary personnel of the military commander in Shanghai in the second drawer under the bedside table, among which Cao Kun's name was impressively listed.

In the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, everyone who is a team leader and above has a copy of the roster, and Wang Tianmu, who once served as the head of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, must also have a roster that is exactly the same as him.

But those who were included in the roster were given almost as much as they were to the importance of the information they provided to the military commanders, and they were basically settled in pounds sterling or one dollar, and were withdrawn from the Huifeng Bank in the Shanghai Tan Public Concession.

Moreover, these non-staff personnel of the military commanders in Shanghai can also receive 20 to 100 oceans every month, which are also exchanged for US dollars or pounds sterling at the Huifeng Bank in the Shanghai Tang Public Concession.

After thinking about the plan to take this opportunity to get rid of Han Kun, Chen Lei took a group photo of Cao Kun and the roster of non-staff personnel of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, left his residence, and took a rickshaw to the Iwai Mansion (Special Investigation Office) located on Baoshan Road in the Zhabei area.

Before Chen Lei arrived at the Iwai Mansion, at about half past four in the afternoon, Ah Xiu walked to the door of the courtyard of the Iwai Mansion with a large dilapidated leather suitcase.

Ah Xiu, who was already tired and panting and sweating, saw several heavily armed policemen standing guard at the gate of the courtyard, and immediately she secretly wondered in her heart: The people working here can't be all traitors who sell the country and seek glory, right?

The Zhabei area has been occupied by the Japanese devils, and the police here are needless to say that they are all lackeys of the Japanese, and Ah Xiu felt that if Mr. Chen had told her in advance that he wanted to do things for the Japanese or the puppet government of Wang, she would have flatly refused at that time.

But now that the matter has come to this, Ah Xiu feels that she has made so much effort, almost from the slum area of Zhabei where she lives, carrying such a large suitcase of things, and walking for nearly an hour.

In addition, when she left home, she still thought about her bedridden mother and two younger brothers that she had found a high-paying and decent job, and if she gave up like this, how would she explain to her mother and two younger brothers when she returned home.

Ah Xiu, who was standing more than ten meters away in front of the courtyard of the Iwai Mansion, after a painful struggle in her heart, finally made a difficult choice, that is, to work here for a period of time first, she wanted to see what kind of person Mr. Chen was.

Ah Xiu, who had the mentality of "what you have come, you will be safe", rested for a while, then walked up with the big shabby leather suitcase, and asked a policeman who was standing guard in front of the gate of the courtyard of the Iwai Mansion: "Excuse me, is this the Iwai Mansion?" ”

The policeman who was questioned replied impatiently after glancing at Ah Xiu, who was dressed plainly, "Little girl, do you have long eyes, isn't it written on the plaque hanging next to the door?" ”

As the policeman said, on a plaque hanging on the left side of the door, four characters were written in both Chinese and Japanese: Iwai Mansion.

Seeing that the attitude of the policeman in front of him was so arrogant, Ah Xiuqiang endured the anger in his heart, and continued to inquire very politely: "Officer, please inform Mr. Chen Lei, just say that Ah Xiu came to him." Just mention my name and Mr. Chen Lei will know! ”

When Ah Xiu finished speaking, not only the policeman, but even several other policemen who were standing guard at the gate of the courtyard of the Iwai Mansion also laughed.

"Girl, you're not mistaken. Mr. Chen: You can see him as much as you want? Don't say it's you, even if you are a well-known figure in Shanghai, if you want to see Mr. Chen, you have to call in advance to make an appointment. Mr. Chen has a lot of opportunities, how can he have time to see you. Chief Iwai has explained to us that Mr. Chen is busy with official business, so let's not disturb him, we don't dare to help you report. After the policeman restrained the smile on his cheeks, he turned to a serious look and declined to Ah Xiu.

After being politely rejected by the policeman, Ah Xiu was a little surprised by this, because when she parted with Chen Lei two or three hours ago, Chen Lei also kept saying that as long as she mentioned her own name to the gatekeeper, the gatekeeper would let her go.

Puzzled, Ah Xiu continued to ask unwillingly: "Officer, how can I see Mr. Chen?" ”

The policeman scratched his head and replied noncommittally: "Little girl, you can do this, you just wait by the door, and don't get in the way of us standing guard." If Mr. Chen enters and exits the Iwai Mansion, he will definitely pass through this gate, and when the time comes, won't you be able to see him? ”

Hearing what the police said, Ah Xiu felt that there was only this way at the moment, so she reluctantly said "thank you", carried the big worn leather box in front of her, and stood more than ten meters away from the door waiting for Chen Lei's arrival.

After about half an hour, Chen Lei got off the rickshaw in front of the gate of the courtyard of the Iwai Mansion, he finished paying the rickshaw driver, and was about to turn around and enter the Iwai Mansion, when he heard a familiar mezzo-soprano more than ten meters away: "Mr. Chen, I'm waiting for you so hard here!" ”

Following the prestige, Chen Lei saw that more than ten meters in front of him, Ah Xiu was carrying a large shabby leather suitcase, and walked towards him step by step, with a few painful expressions on his cheeks.

didn't have time to think about it, Chen Lei hurriedly rushed forward in a few arrows, took the big shabby leather case from Ah Xiu's hand, glanced at his watch, and said with a slightly surprised tone: "Ah Xiu, didn't I tell you, let you come back before five o'clock in the afternoon to half past five, why did you come so early?" If I'm not mistaken, the guards at the gate and the police shouldn't let you in, right? ”
