Chapter Seventy-Three: Clues

Fang Buwei took a rickshaw and came to Dabei Company. Most of the telephone lines in the Shanghai concession were laid by the Great Northern Company with a foreign background, and the Yaxin Hotel was no exception.

The Chinese steward is a middle-aged man surnamed Qu, and he is in charge of the Shanghai telephone transfer headquarters of the Great Northern Company.

When he came to Steward Qu's office, after Fang Buwei explained his intentions, he skillfully pushed a bag of silver dollars in front of the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man weighed his weight, a smile appeared on his face, and the other party didn't say, "Wait a moment!" Then he walked out of the office with the silver dollar in his hand.

It took more than an hour for the man to come in with a piece of paper.

"Fortunately, I didn't lose my life!" The middle-aged man handed the paper to Fang Buwei, Fang Buwei didn't look at it, folded it and put it in his arms.

Collecting money to do things, the middle-aged man naturally didn't ask much, and watched Fang Buwei leave.

Finding a secluded place, Fang Buwei opened the piece of paper and looked at it carefully.

The specific identity of the owner of the phone, Dabei Company, was also found, and he was the section chief of the Shanghai County Finance Department, surnamed Ye, who lived on Jinling Road.

The phone call between Chief Ye's family and the hotel was half past ten in the morning, and two minutes later, the phone made another call. Look at the name, it is a seamen's club.

Although this seamen's club does not indicate that it has anything to do with the Japanese, its address is in Hongkou.

Fang Buwei's heart was shocked.

Ninety-nine percent of the Japanese in Shanghai are gathered in Hongkou, could this club have anything to do with Japanese spies?

Fang did not go through it himself.

I was afraid that there were people in this hotel who had connections with the Japanese, so after arriving in Hongkou, Fang Buwei first changed his outfit and made a simple disguise.

Then he called a rickshaw and told him the address of the seafarers' club.

The Seamen's Club is located right in the heart of Hongkou District, where there are many Japanese-style buildings.

When he saw the Japanese plaque on the door of the seafarers' club, he was shocked again.

There is a small Japanese restaurant just across the street from the club. Fang Buwei sat by the window and asked for two dishes and a sake.

Although it was morning, there were quite a few Japanese people in and out of the club, and Fang Buwei even saw a few Japanese naval officers in sea green uniforms. However, the ranks are not high, they are all lieutenants.

This is not the time for fun and consumption, there are no more than one Japanese soldier here, and this seamen's club is probably related to the Japanese military.

Japan's spy agencies in China are all sponsored by the military.

Fang Buwei was secretly excited, he felt that he had probably touched the edge of the truth.

After sitting for a full hour, Fang was not afraid of arousing the suspicion of the Japanese boss, and checked out and left.

He also wanted to go in and investigate, but he thought that his Japanese was only rudimentary, and he could read and write, but he would reveal the stuff with one mouth, so he finally did it.

He didn't rush back to the barracks, but went to Jinling Road, where Section Chief Ye's residence was located.

This is the jurisdiction of the French Concession. There were people on the street, and the rickshaw that was originally speeding had to slow down as soon as it entered Jinling Road. And every now and then, they will stop and wait for a car or pedestrian to go first.

Fang Buwei got off the rickshaw and looked at the surrounding environment as he walked.

It is indeed prosperous, and compared with Hongkou, the flow of people on the streets of the French Concession is less than double.

Fang Buwei also understood that since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the French Concession has always been the most prosperous area in Shanghai. Countless high-ranking officials and magnates begged for a house in the French Concession but could not. It's a real thing.

Here, not to mention buying, you have to be very, very rich to be able to rent a house.

When he found Section Chief Ye's residence, Fang Buwei roughly identified it, it was very close to the Yaxin Hotel, less than two hundred meters.

Fang was not shocked.

It's so close, it's only a minute or two walk, why do you call?

Looking at Section Chief Ye's former office, it turned out to be a small western-style building facing the street?

Fang Buwei inquired casually and asked about the fact that there were only three tenants in this small building, one on each floor. Section Chief Ye lives on the second floor. And Section Chief Ye's floor alone costs fifty yuan a month's rent.

How much money can the head of the finance section have?

Shanghai County is a first-class county, and Fang Bu is not to calculate it higher for him, and it is a hundred oceans a month. Paying rent with half of your salary?

Is it really a panic of burning too much money?

It was only at this time that Fang Buwei thought that he had overlooked one thing.

Section Chief Ye works in the Shanghai County Government, which is located in Beiqiao Town, at least 40 miles away from the French Concession. Why did he spend so much money and live so far away?

There are too many suspicions, and Fang Buwei thinks that it is impossible to be a coincidence everywhere.

He immediately called Guan Jingyan and asked those men he brought from Nanjing to look for him in the French Concession.

You can't do anything by yourself, and you can't do it by tracking and monitoring first.

Guan Jingyan on the phone told him that he reprimanded Tian Licheng well.

Fang Buwei had a headache, Guan Jingyan was too calm,

Fortunately, Guan Jingyan was not really brainless, and he was afraid that Tian Licheng would be bad, so he immediately transferred the garrison soldiers to control the cell.

Now that he has just found out a little eyebrows, Fang Buwei doesn't want to give up, so he can only remind Guan Jingyan to always guard against the people in the party mediation.

If Chen Haoqiu died, he and Guan Jingyan would have to shed their skin if they didn't die.
