Ning Zhiheng walked out of the office, and at this time, Yi Hua'an, the secretary who was guarding the door, greeted him and asked, "President, are you going out?" ”

Ning Zhiheng shook his head and ordered, "I'm a little tired today, go home and rest first." ”

Yi Huaan hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll arrange it right away." ”

Ning Zhiheng waved his hand and said again: "No, I'll go back by myself, and no one needs to follow." ”

Yi Hua'an was stunned, Ning Zhiheng usually has people around him to follow and protect, what's wrong today?

But he quickly nodded in agreement, turned around and went out to make arrangements.

Today, in Shanghai, with the development and growth of Fujiwara Kaisha, it has gradually become a giant ship in the business world, and even in terms of dealing in ordinary goods, even on the scale of smuggling, Fujiwara Kaisha has developed rapidly, and soon became one of the largest trading companies.

Of course, all of this is inseparable from the deep background of President Fujiwara Tomohito, so Fujiwara Tomohito can be said to be in a prominent position now, and he is also quite influential in the high-level in Shanghai, especially his identity at this time is a Japanese nobleman, so it is easy to become the target of Chinese anti-Japanese groups, so he must pay great attention to safety when traveling.

In the past, travel was a car, accompanied by a driver and a bodyguard, but now every time you enter and exit, you need two cars, two drivers and four bodyguards.

As one of the largest chambers of commerce in Shanghai, Fujiwara's own security work cannot be ignored, Ning Zhiheng ordered Hirao Daichi to recruit a lot of young adults who have undergone military training and have certain skills among the Japanese diaspora, equipped with guns and weapons, and is usually responsible for the security work of Fujiwara Kaisha.

Ning Zhiheng's six bodyguards were all specially selected from them, each of them had good skills, and they also had a certain level of education, and they were all trained good hands.

Ning Zhiheng's original idea was to use his own operational personnel in the intelligence department to be responsible for his own escort work, but after thinking about it again, he still gave up this idea, after all, Fujiwara Tomohito's Japanese identity, the less people know about it, the safer it is, even if it is the descendants around him, the cruel struggle between the enemy and us, can not completely guarantee his absolute loyalty.

There are many conveniences in using Japanese guards, first of all, there is no need to worry about language problems, and secondly, security can also be guaranteed, after all, in the eyes of these Japanese expatriates, they are a noble class with a huge wealth group and a prominent status, so it is easier to get their allegiance, and their identity does not have to worry about leaking, and the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages under the trade-off.

Usually Ning Zhiheng travels with a complete set of driver bodyguards, but today Ning Zhiheng chooses to travel in a low-key manner, Yi Huaan has always been absolutely obedient to Ning Zhiheng's life and does not discount it, so he has to obey Ning Zhiheng's arrangement.

Ning Zhiheng did not drive his own car, but walked to his home on foot.

At this time, it was already January 1939, it was the cold winter wax moon, even if Shanghai was not as cold as the north, but the cold wind on the street was still damp and cold, Ning Zhiheng put up the collar of his coat, put on a top hat, and walked on the streets of Shanghai.

Fujiwara Kaisha is some distance from Ning Zhiheng's villa, and it takes about forty minutes to walk, and his feet are very fast, watching the pedestrians on the street along the way, carefully observing every house and shop, until he comes to the door of Xinle Park.

Today, Ning Zhiheng came here to find the traces of farmer Xia Deyan, Xinle Park is the location agreed between Ning Zhiheng and the farmer, and the farmer will open a new bluestone tea house near Shanghai after he comes to Shanghai.

The reason why Ning Zhiheng chose this location is because this park is not far from Ning Zhiheng's residence, and it is one of the relatively large scenic spots nearby.

Ning Zhiheng looked at the pedestrians around him left and right, chose the direction, and walked on the street again.

It has been a while since he returned to Shanghai, but he has not found the newly opened bluestone tea house near Xinle Park several times.

In fact, Ning Zhiheng also knew that he was a little anxious, the transportation during the Republic of China was not developed, and it took a long time to travel all the way from Chongqing to Shanghai, especially during the war period, the two sides exchanged fires and confrontations from time to time, and the territory of the occupied area was also changing all the time.

The reason why Ning Zhiheng was able to return to Shanghai quickly was because he had a special channel and a special escort, which was much more convenient and safer than ordinary people.

The farmer must have arrived a lot later than himself, and every inch of land is expensive here in Shanghai, renting shops and decorating facades, arranging purchase channels, etc., in short, opening a tea house is not a simple matter.

So Ning Zhiheng estimated the time, and today he took the time to come to the vicinity of Xinle Park again and began to look for the traces of the farmer.

The area near Xinle Park is very large, including three blocks, Shanghai's business is developed, and the streets are full of various shops, Ning Zhiheng walked and watched.

Fortunately, this time his luck was not bad, and he finally saw a brand-new store being renovated on a street corner, there were several workers in it who were busy, and the signboard of the store had not yet been hung out, it should still be in production, but he could clearly see Xia Deyan in the store, directing the decoration workers to arrange the program.

"Straighten the sign a little further, a little to the right, a little more to the right, yes, this is it!"

"Little brother, you have lighter hands, these are all good tea cans, I spent a lot of money to customize them."

Looking at Xia Deyan's busy figure, Ning Zhiheng finally put his heart down, Xia Deyan didn't come to Shanghai for a long time, and he was always worried about whether there was an accident on the road, and now it seems that everything is going well.

After determining the location of the bluestone tea house and the location of the farmer Xia Deyan, Ning Zhiheng did not delay any longer, turned around and walked towards his home.

Xia Deyan did not notice the situation outside the store, he commanded the workers to hurry up the construction, from Chongqing to Shanghai this way, he did not go well, the road delayed a lot of time, as soon as he came to Shanghai, he immediately began to open the bluestone tea house, so as to be able to contact the shadow as soon as possible.

"Boss Xia, why do you have to open a back door at the back of this store, in fact, it is not necessary, but it is easy to attract thieves..."A construction worker walked out of the back room and asked with some confusion.

Xia Deyan explained with a smile: "I have been used to it for many years, and I like to be transparent before and after, so you just do what I say!" ”

In an apartment in Shanghai's French Concession, Zhang Puhe was talking in a low voice with Liao Qinglin, his intelligence line.

"Captain, this operation was done by our action team, right? Why didn't there be any warning beforehand, I can still cooperate! Zhang Puhe said.

Liao Qinglin said with a smile: "Before the specific action, I didn't receive a notice, this operation is sudden, and it has nothing to do with us, you can tell me, what is the situation in the French Concession now?" ”

"The Japanese are negotiating at the French Consulate, but it's just some official articles, it can't hurt our bones, I've already handed in all the case reports, the Japanese won't gain anything, but that living Iwai Nosuke was taken away by the Japanese, I don't know if there will be any trouble in the future?"

Zhang Puhe recounted everything he knew.

"One more thing, Sun Guanglin and Tian Anyi, who we are monitoring, have not had any abnormal behavior until now, and the brothers who are following them have not found that they are connecting with anyone, which should not be said!"

When Liao Qinglin heard his words, he couldn't help but say in confusion: "Such a big thing happened, more than a dozen Japanese agents were killed, they should report to their superiors." ”

Speaking of this, he thought for a moment: "Could it be that we are wrong in the direction of judgment, and their identities may be problematic, but they are not necessarily Japanese agents." ”

However, Zhang Puhe did not agree with his point of view, he was very confident in his vision, and the time when Sun Guanglin and Tian Anyi appeared was too coincidental, just about the same time as the Japanese lurked into the French Concession, and there were many doubts on his body, which required a reasonable explanation.

Zhang Puhe thought for a while, and said: "I still insist that the identity of these two people is problematic, I am now wondering, is it an important thing to ignore, if these two people are really Japanese agents, in fact, he does not have to report to his superiors, because they know very well that our patrol room will definitely report the detailed case to the Japanese, so as not to get into trouble, in this case, it is not necessary for them to take the risk of connecting with the upline, could it be because of this reason, they did not contact the upline." ”

Liao Qinglin nodded slightly, thought for a while, and asked again: "Since you insist that there is a problem with these two people, then monitor them for a while and take a look, and really find out what kind of people they are." ”

Zhang Puhe continued: "When I chatted with Lei Ming two days ago, I asked about the details of these two people, and he said that Sun Guanglin and Tian Anyi were introduced by a friend of Chen Jiaping, and they were the countrymen of this woman. I want to monitor An Ruwei as well to see what is wrong with this woman? ”

Liao Qinglin immediately raised his spirit, and was another target of suspicion, nodded and agreed: "I will arrange this matter, I will immediately report to the team leader, and dispatch some people to follow An Ruwei." ”

The situation was quickly reported to Ji Hongyi, the head of the intelligence team, which attracted his great attention, so he began a follow-up investigation against An Ruwei.
