In the western restaurant in the center of the city, a black car stopped at the door, a young man in a dressy suit, holding a document bag, got out of the car, pushed the door in, didn't care about the waiter who greeted him warmly, looked around, found a secluded corner to sit down, and shouted at the waiter: "A steak, medium-rare, and a glass of orange juice," when the waiter served, the young man took out a tip and handed it to the waiter, saying: I will make an appointment with a customer service in a while, talk about something, and you don't have to come over if you don't call you. "Okay, thank you, sir." The waiter politely returned.

The young man did not seem to be hungry, but drank orange juice with his head down, and cut the steak into strips with a knife and fork, with a little timidity in his eyes, and constantly scanned the surroundings with his spare eyes, which was a bit like a thief, and did not match his dress as a rich boy. After a while, the sound of the door opening made him focus his eyes on the door, an old man in a coat and a top hat walked in, the young man hurriedly stretched out his hand when he saw this, and motioned for the elder to sit here, the old man came over and sat down, took off his top hat, and the young man said to the waiter: "Have a steak, medium rare, and a cup of tea," Without waiting for the elder to speak, the young man pushed the seven-rare steak he ordered in front of the elder, "Uncle Ding, this is for you, you have a bad appetite, eat cooked." ”

Uncle Ding smiled and nodded, "It's still Song Gongzi who understands me, and the family has been fine lately." ”

"Recently, my father and the Japanese have been very close, and I go out to socialize every day, and yesterday I went out to drink with a Japanese businessman, and I came back in the middle of the night. Oh, by the way, the pharmaceutical factory workers at home have been working overtime recently, and many people are complaining, I heard that the next step is not only in Nanjing, but also in Shanghai. “

"Do you know what the medicine is?"

"I don't know, the pharmaceutical factory is now guarded by Japanese soldiers, and ordinary people can't get in, so I guess it may be some anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medicine."

Uncle Ding listened and thought to himself: "These medicines are controlled on weekdays, and the demand on the market is not so large at all, and such a large amount of production is likely to be for the army, is the Japanese army going south in the near future?" After thinking about it, Uncle Ding was vaguely uneasy in his heart. ”

"Song Gongzi, if it's convenient for you, help me pay attention to where these medicines are being shipped to, as well as the source of the raw materials for these medicines, and it is very important for me to find out about these.

Don't worry, Uncle Ding. I tried my best to do it. By the way, the day before yesterday, I made a comparison to the account of **, where the drugs are not controlled now, and the materials needed by the comrades on the front line can be purchased directly there, so the juniors contributed to the anti-Japanese war.

Uncle Ding looked at Song Gongzi, his eyes showed approval and gratitude, "Thank you, we have a young man like you, and there is hope for the country." Let's replace wine with tea, I toast you"

The two picked up the cup and touched it lightly, each took a sip, and as soon as they put down the cup, Song Gongzi hurriedly took out the document bag at his feet, opened the bag, took out a brown paper envelope from it, and handed it to Uncle Ding, and the envelope was very full. "This is the white pigeon asked me to hand it over to you, saying that this is the trade list and material distribution table of the Chamber of Commerce, Song Gongzi thought for a while, and then said: By the way, he told me that his brother was discounted by someone.

As soon as he heard that his friend had his leg discounted, Uncle Ding's smile was taken back, his face was a little bad, and he unconsciously clenched his fists, Song Gongzi saw Uncle Ding's expression, thought that Uncle Ding was uncomfortable, and hurriedly asked with concern: Uncle Ding, are you uncomfortable, I will ask the driver to take you to the hospital. ”

"No need, I'm fine, I had a little stomach pain just now, and I'll be fine slowly, ** sick." Song Gongzi, did you bring the letter that Bai Ge asked us to meet here?"

"Bring", as he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from the inner pocket of his jacket and gave it to Uncle Ding, Uncle Ding opened it and looked at it, only a few words: it read, "Song Gongzi, Boss Ding, I have made an appointment for you, you can talk to him in person about business matters, the time is half past one in the afternoon of the 28th, see you at the Western restaurant in Wales, and I have a document to help him." In addition, I told Boss Ding that something happened at home recently, and a brother was broken in his leg, and I am investigating, and when the investigation is clear, I will get things done well, and then I will have a good reunion with Boss Ding.

"Uncle Ding, is there anything wrong?" Song Gongzi saw Uncle Ding's serious expression, thinking that something was wrong, and couldn't help but get nervous, although Song Gongzi had the heart to devote himself to the anti-Japanese resistance, but after all, he was a child's brother, and he had no experience, so it was normal for him to worry about accidents.

"It's okay, Song Gongzi doesn't have to worry, I was also cautious just now, maybe it's the nature of my work, I'm used to it."

"It's okay, it's okay." Song Gongzi responded a little timidly. In fact, Song Gongzi didn't know that the meaning of the brother's leg discount was to tell Uncle Ding that a comrade had sacrificed, the letter written by Bai Ge to him, and the information that protected the organization, and he could clear the relationship with Song Gongzi Even if other people read the letter, they thought it was just to talk about business, after all, the Song family is in business, and it is normal to make an appointment with a boss.

Uncle Ding put the documents given to him by Song Gongzi into his bag, and then instructed: Burn the letter given to you by the white pigeon.

"Okay, I got it"

After the task was explained, the topic of the conversation between the two became much easier.

"Didn't your family let you go on a blind date recently?"

"Alas, my father forced me every day to meet with the daughter of some bureau or bank boss, and it was annoying to think about it, he didn't know what I thought, and he didn't want to know, he only knew what I was doing to his advantage.

"Don't think so about it first, knowing that a son is not as good as a father, and the father still feels sorry for his son, not to mention that the current situation is chaotic, and they all want to unite the strong, and your father is also thinking about the family.

"Uncle Ding, don't you know, these aristocratic young ladies don't know anything, they know how to dress up and go shopping, usually as soon as they open their mouths, they are perfumes in Paris and Italian shoes, and I can't talk to them at all." Song Gongzi said that he was a little aggrieved and a little helpless, young people always yearn for beautiful love, eager to find someone who can like each other for a lifetime, and even in his heart may have imagined a perfect girl, Uncle Ding understands his intentions, but he feels sorry, he was born in such a wealthy family, and he was born without worry, but a marriage is often not something he can decide.

Although it is two generations, Uncle Ding really regards the son-in-law in front of him as his nephew, and the parents are short-lived, and they are all concerned, and Song Gongzi calls Uncle Ding, and he really regards the elder in front of him as an uncle, rather than taking this "Uncle Ding" as a name. After chatting for a long time, Uncle Ding raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "It's time to go, there are friends waiting for me outside the city."

"Okay, I'll let the driver take you out of town, my car has a pass, don't bother."

"Then I'll be disrespectful."

Song Gongzi went out and explained to the driver waiting outside, asking him to send Uncle Ding to the designated place, Uncle Ding took his bag and walked to a waiter, "Hello, where is the toilet?" "Hello, I'll take you." The waiter hurriedly walked in front of Uncle Ding to guide him, walked through the lobby, and came to a no-man's place in the corridor, and the waiter whispered to Uncle Ding: This Song Gongzi is Song Wenshan, the son of Song Mingyuan of Mingyuan Pharmaceutical Factory? "Yes, Uncle Ding returned. A good young man, Comrade Bai Pigeon, this place is well chosen, there are few people, it is easy to observe the environment, you have to keep an eye on it during this time, and contact you at any time if there is any change.

"Rest assured that your service will satisfy you." The waiter returned with a pun.

Uncle Ding went out conveniently, Song Wenshan had already finished explaining to the driver, Uncle Ding took the bag and took the car out of the city smoothly.

The afternoon sun is like fire, grilling the earth, Bai Li and the two opened the door and got out of the car, Li Shuhuai was busy wiping the sweat on his face after getting out of the car, Bai Yun flew to the second floor on the west side and took a look, three stout sycamores stood in front of the window on the west side, "Go in," Bai Yunfei didn't stop, and pulled Li Shuhuai straight to the office building. Entering the main gate, the dark foyer of the Japanese-style house contrasted sharply with the sunlight outside, and two doormen in neat tunics next to the foyer blocked the way

"Hello, are you looking for someone or an office,"

Bai Yunfei and Li Shuhuai looked at each other for a moment, and nodded with tacit understanding, obviously satisfied with the security of the office building and the code attitude of the guards, "We are here to investigate, there is something wrong with President Yamamoto, there are some situations that we need to know, this is my certificate." ”

Seeing this, Li Shuhuai also hurriedly handed over his documents, "Yes, we are here to investigate on the orders of Fujita Taijun." ”

The doorman carefully checked the documents of the two and compared the photos with those of himself. Asked suspiciously

"Investigation? Someone just came to check on it at noon," said one of the guards unconsciously.

"Oh? Whoever got ahead of us. Is it a young man with golden eyes and a thin appearance?" Although Bai Yunfei was guessing, he basically knew who had come.

"Yes, yes, Director Xu from the Operations Department has just been here."

"This kid also said that he wanted to learn from us in the morning, and in the afternoon he secretly acted on his own, which seems to be a meritorious service." Li Shuhuai was obviously dissatisfied with Xu Hongping's behavior, so he muttered something in his mouth.

"What did you look for?" Bai Yunfei asked curiously.

"Back to the sir, I only looked at the visitor's registration book, and Director Xu asked his subordinates to copy a copy and left."

"I only copied the sub-register, and nothing else?"

The doorman hesitated for a moment and said that there should be no more, and he seemed to regret that he should not tell Bai Yunfei what the other chiefs had investigated, Bai Yunfei seemed to see what was on his mind, and said with a smile: Don't worry, I won't tell Director Xu, I also asked casually just now.

Bai Yunfei saw an open registration book on the windowsill of the guard's room, walked over to look through it, and the doorman next to him accosted him: "Sir, when you enter the building, you have to register with your certificate, first register which department the visitor comes from, and then fill in the name of the visitor, and I fill in everyone according to the chief's requirements."

"Yamamoto's accident was the day before yesterday, right, Director Li?" Bai Yunfei flipped through the registration book and asked Li Shuhuai.

"Yes, the day before yesterday was right."

Bai Yun flew over, and Li Shuhuai also followed suit, his face was a little puzzled. He couldn't help asking, "Nearly 100 people came the day before yesterday?" How many departments are there in this building?"

"Back to the chief, there are more than a dozen departments in this building, such as the Chamber of Commerce, the Ministry of Agriculture and Mining, the Ministry of Social Affairs, and the Overseas Chinese Affairs Committee."

Li Shuhuai couldn't help but smile bitterly, how can this be investigated, so many people, are they all arrested and interrogated, once there is no result, offending so many new ** officials is extremely unfavorable to himself.

Bai Yunfei looked at the list of visitors, turned to a page and suddenly stopped and asked: Isn't this Chang Chenghu the commander of the city defense, what is he doing in the office building belonging to the Ministry of Internal Affairs?

Li Shuhuai's expression first showed a wicked smile, and then he knew a little bit of the inside story: I don't know, Commander Chang is an amorous species, and he is optimistic about which department is the little girl here.

"I said why so many people have come, and I thought that the operation efficiency of the new ** was so high. You, the gossip is from the real spirit, and you're about to catch up with the intelligence. ”

"Brother, I'm not as gossip as you think, I've been working in the police industry for a long time, and I've developed a keen habit of observation." After saying that, Li Shuhuai couldn't help but laugh too.

Bai Yunfei smiled, undeniable, except for Xu Kai's visit record in the registration book on the first floor, there were no other flaws, so he said to Li Shuhuai Go upstairs, President Yamamoto's office is on the second floor.

When a doorman next to him heard this, he was busy answering, "Two chiefs, I'll lead the way, please come with me." ”

The leather shoes creaked on the wooden floor, and it was particularly depressing in this corridor where the sun did not shine, and several people walked slowly to the door of Yamamoto's office, a huge copper lock locked the door of the office, and before Bai Yunfei could speak, the doorman preemptively accosted: The two chiefs, President Yamamoto has not been here for two days, and a few Japanese people came the night before, and the president's office was locked after leaving. ”

"Do you remember when President Yamamoto got off work?"

"I don't remember," the doorman glanced at Bai Yunfei, saw that his face was serious, and hurriedly added: There are too many people coming in and out, I really can't remember, sir, is something wrong with President Yamamoto?

Bai Yunfei glanced at the doorman, and said a little pretending to be serious: "It's okay, it's just a routine inspection, protect the new ** official, if it's okay, I'll be busy with you."

"Then I'll be busy first, just call me if you have something."

Li Shuhuai casually walked around the corridor, looking at the scenery outside the window at the end of the corridor for a while, and looking at the cracks on the floor of the corridor for a while, looking a little bored, seeing Bai Yunfei looking at the door of Yamamoto's office for a long time and not speaking, "If there are no clues, Brother Bai, let's withdraw first, the Japanese seem to be one step ahead of us."

Bai Yunfei didn't talk, his left hand on his cheek, and slowly walked to the middle of the corridor, Li Shuhuai thought he was leaving, so he followed, but Bai Yunfei suddenly turned, and the two almost collided, Li Shuhuai's top hat was touched, just covering his round face, Bai Yunfei saw that this scene was a little funny, and couldn't help but tease: "I'm sorry, I'll go to the toilet, your car is driving fast, I can't hold my urine all the way, I'll go back and drive slowly, and I'm not going to arrest criminals."

Li Shuhuai said back while being happy: You are empty, you need maintenance, don't blame the car, you and I came in a car.

When Bai Yunfei came to the toilet, he saw the marble floor, the crystal lamp installed in the ceiling, and the pure copper faucet of the sink, which seemed a little out of place with the other toilet decorations of the entire office building.

After Bai Yunfei finished his convenience, he came to the pool to wash his hands, imagining the process of Xu Kai doing it here that day: the corridor is usually empty, and it is almost impossible for others to see Xu Kai coming, and the toilet is almost exclusively used by Yamamoto himself, so the possibility of exposing himself during this period is almost zero.

Turn off the faucet, shook off the water in his hand, maybe he was too invested in thinking just now, Bai Yunfei just looked up and saw Li Shuhuai who didn't know when he came in through the mirror on the top of the pool, he just wanted to make a joke with Li Shuhuai, but before he could say anything, he thought of a scene that day, and was stunned in front of the mirror for a few seconds, his face suddenly became serious, Bai Yunfei always had a hypothesis in his heart, if this assumption is true, the mirror may be Xu Kai's only flaw, at this moment he just wants to verify one thing, and has no intention of talking to Li Shuhuai, just said I'll wait for you in the car.

At this time, the sun had slowly set, the air in the car was not as hot as noon, after waiting for a long time, Li Shuhuai opened the door and came in, he did not start the car immediately, but stared at Bai Yunfei who was sitting next to him with small eyes, Bai Yunfei's afterglow obviously swept to Li Shuhuai was looking at him, and did not turn his head, his eyes looked forward, and asked in a calm tone: Director Li found a clue?

Li Shuhuai leaned over, and said in a somewhat gloomy voice, "Brother, when I looked at the sign-in book just now, your assistant Mr. Xu also came, and he came on the same day as Yamamoto's accident.

After hearing this, Bai Yunfei laughed coldly, "Director Li's observation is really keen, and he is a good director who protects the people of Shanghai." Li Shuhuai was just about to be a little proud when he heard this, Bai Yunfei turned his face and said to him: Listen to my subordinates, now your police station has a lot of rumors, ordinary small cases are disdainful of cracking, big cases are either understaffed, or lack of clues, when you encounter a case that is pressed above, you will arrest people outside to fill the number, a while ago you even arrested a 15-year-old student, saying that he was a Chongqing element, and finally bent into a trick, if this is reported to Chief Fujita, I am afraid that you will not be able to sit still in the position of the director, I am engaged in intelligence, Knowing your secrets, that's not too much.

At this time, Li Shuhuai's expression was already full of embarrassment, and he laughed twice, and was just about to explain, Bai Yunfei continued: However, I also understand you, after all, the war is in chaos now, when there will be no accidents, and when the gun will not be fired, in order to protect himself, he has done some ridiculous wrong things, and there is a reason for it.

Li Shuhuai saw that Bai Yunfei didn't want to turn his face with him, and wanted to blackmail him, so he hurriedly borrowed the donkey from the slope and took advantage of the situation to shout: "Yes, yes, brother, sometimes in this position, if something happens, I can't help myself, I'm really afraid that I can't sit still in this position."

"Director Li, the current situation, the Americans intend to cut off the supply of the Japanese at sea, on the surface the United States and Japan this sea is peaceful, the wind is calm, but when this wind blows, how big waves can blow, no one can say, if it is really going to change the sky, then the energy of the Japanese army will inevitably be tilted like the Pacific Ocean, the governance of Shanghai, more need for us Chinese to do, Chairman Wang also wants to use more of his own people, do you understand?

Li Shuhuai nodded again and again, "I understand, I understand, we are brothers, so we have to support each other and take care of each other." ”

"As for Xu Kai, he is my assistant, and he is also a little brother who followed me at the age of 14, who grew up eating my food and drinking my family's water, without me he would starve to death on the streets, his background is clean, if Xu Kai really has any problems, he should go to the special high school to send the special high class, he should go to the military justice department to go to the military justice department, I will never protect my shortcomings"

"It's me who thinks too much, thinks too much, brother, don't be angry, where are we going now,"

"Back to the security office, the welcome banquet for the neutral country delegation is about to be held, and there is still a lot of work for me to do, and sometimes I really can't help myself."

"Set off immediately, don't delay my brother's time, tomorrow I will ask my subordinates to send American ginseng to the house, that thing is really easy to use."
