Ning Zhiheng's words made Zuo Rou's heart bloom, she didn't hide her hearty personality, the corners of her mouth rose and she giggled, and said: "What is this, my real skills haven't been taken out yet, one day I'll show you my makeup skills, what kind of person you want to become, I can give you what you want to become!" ”

Hearing this, Ning Zhiheng laughed, he had accepted these three subordinates at the beginning, but he didn't expect to have such a big gain, the Zuo brothers are stable and outstanding, even Zuo Rou, who is a little weaker, also has such magical skills, which will be of great help to his future agent career.

Ning Zhiheng happily left the residence of the Zuo brothers and sisters, returned to the compound of the action team, and was excited to verify all night, and Zuo Rou taught him a few tricks, and felt that he had gained a lot.

Early the next morning, he packed up, changed into a suit, carried a briefcase, and then called Sun Jiacheng over.

"See if there's anything wrong with me?" Ning Zhiheng opened his mouth and said.

"What's the problem?" Sun Jiacheng said with some confusion, he observed it carefully, and suddenly found that his very familiar chief had become a little unfamiliar.

"This, this, something is wrong! You seem to be much younger in age, and your whole person has become ~"

Sun Jiacheng felt that it was difficult to describe, and only after a long time did he hesitate to say: "It seems to be a lot more accommodating, how to say it?" It's like the feeling I had when I first trained Tan Jinhui, and your current temperament is a bit biased towards him. ”

Sun Jiacheng is also a veteran who has been in the rivers and lakes, and later he was also engaged in reconnaissance in the army, and his observation is very keen, otherwise he would not have found the headquarters of the underground party in Nanjing with just a few details.

He found that Ning Zhiheng felt very different today, but it was difficult to describe, so he remembered Ning Zhiheng's stand-in Tan Jinhui.

Ning Zhiheng laughed, then slowed down his voice again, and said lightly: "You take a look now!" ”

At this time, Sun Jiacheng immediately felt that something was wrong, and his fierce gaze shot like a knife, and the ruthlessness on Ning Zhiheng's body returned, that's right, this is the real team leader!

Ning Zhiheng was very satisfied with his performance, he turned around and went out, all the way to Suzhou Bridge, and soon saw that Ji Hongyi was already waiting there, the two of them glanced at each other, and their eyes dispersed.

Ning Zhiheng adjusted his state and slowly walked towards the checkpoint set by the Japanese army on the bridge.

Suzhou Creek was an important dividing line between the public concession and the Japanese occupation zone, and the Japanese set up checkpoints at each bridgehead, and there were armed Japanese sergeants and Japanese policemen patrolling left and right.

They will check the Chinese who come and go, but they will simply ask the Japanese, or they will not ask at all, and they will let them go directly.

Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but secretly rejoice for his choice when he saw this situation, he didn't hesitate at all, and walked directly with a natural expression.

A Japanese policeman saw Ning Zhiheng moving forward directly, his eyes swept over, Ning Zhiheng's eyes did not have the slightest fear, his footsteps did not stop, and he walked directly from the checkpoint.

There were four Japanese sergeants guarding the checkpoint, looking at Ning Zhiheng in a suit, one of the sergeants asked, "Chinese?" ”

Ning Zhiheng didn't answer, but just handed a resident ID card to the sergeant major, which was one of the complete set of immigration household registration certificates.

The sergeant looked down and didn't look at it anymore, signaling Ning Zhiheng to pass, Ning Zhiheng put away his documents and went directly to the north bank of Suzhou Creek, officially stepping into the Japanese occupation zone.

The scenery on the north bank is more old-fashioned and antiquated than the French Concession, but the streets are full of people, most of them Japanese, and there are many Chinese.

Vehicles come and go, people are noisy, but it is also very lively and prosperous, Ning Zhiheng plunged into it, walking along the bustling Songhu Avenue, from time to time there were different voices around him, Japanese and Chinese mixed in it.

Hongkou is the main gathering area for Japanese people, and many Japanese shops have been established, such as Japanese-style fish shops, side dish shops, confectionery shops, clothing stores, etc. A "Japanese-ized" neighborhood has been formed in the district, and the prosperous area of Hongkou was once known as "Little Tokyo".

Ning Zhiheng did not stay long, and walked to the door of a grain store, which is a Chinese-style store, and the four characters of Huimin grain store are written on the sign in Chinese at the door.

He glanced at the scene in the store, and saw a man with gray hair sitting inside, two or three customers were talking from time to time, and at this time, a figure on his side entered the grain store in a flash, it was Ji Hongyi, who had been following Ning Zhiheng.

Seeing Ji Hongyi come in, the gray-haired man quickly stood up, said a few words to Ji Hongyi, and then swept his gaze to Ning Zhiheng outside the store, everyone's eyes stayed for a moment, and then Ning Zhiheng turned around and left.

The gray-haired man must be Rong Xingchang, the owner of the grain store, the old man of the Northern Jiangsu Gang, this Huimin grain store will be the contact point between Ning Zhiheng and Ji Hongyi in the future.

Ning Zhiheng decided to find a place to settle down first, the entire gathering area is very large and the population is large, so it is not difficult to find a place to stay.

Ning Zhiheng turned a corner and walked along the street in the direction of Hongkou, he turned around, and soon selected a small remote courtyard with a sign for rent at the entrance of the courtyard.

He stood in front of the sign for a while, looking left and right, and at this time someone finally spotted him.

"Are you renting a house?" The slightly old Japanese asked.

Ning Zhiheng turned around and saw a head poking out from a two-story building next to him, and it was a very old man.

Ning Zhiheng hurriedly bowed slightly, it was standard Japanese etiquette, and replied briefly: "Hey, please take care of me!" ”

Ning Zhiheng once specifically asked Yi Huaan for Japanese etiquette, and there was no difficulty in communicating with the Japanese.

After a while, the door opened, and an elderly man in Japanese clothes walked out, he looked at Ning Zhiheng, and asked softly, "Listen to your accent, is you from Osaka?" ”

"Kyoto people!" Ning Zhiheng replied briefly.

The elderly man nodded, the Kansai region is more famous for Osaka and Kyoto, and the accent is slightly different.

"This yard is very clean, and the inside is very clean, do you want to go in and have a look?" The old man asked, obviously he was the landlord of this small yard, and he really wanted to rent out the yard, so he opened his mouth to sell it to Ning Zhiheng.

Ning Zhiheng is actually very satisfied with this courtyard, the independent courtyard is still relatively remote, which is suitable for him to live temporarily.

"Good work!" Ning Zhiheng nodded and said.

The old man grinned, the wrinkles on his brows were squeezed into a heap, he took out a bunch of keys to open the courtyard door, and walked in first, Ning Zhiheng followed behind him.

Although the courtyard was not large, it was indeed very clean, and the old man opened the door again, turned around and said, "The room is not big, but there is everything, and it is enough for one person to live." ”

Ning Zhiheng also walked into the house, and sure enough, although the sparrow was small, it was full of organs, bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms, and the hygiene was kept very clean.

Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but nodded, so he said, "Very good, I'll rent it!" ”

When the old man heard this, he immediately smiled, and he said, "Forty yen a month." ”

This price is not cheap, Ning Zhiheng looked at the old man with some surprise, and immediately made the man a little embarrassed.

He also knew that the price was a bit expensive, and he just wanted to try Ning Zhiheng's reaction, he thought that Ning Zhiheng had just immigrated from Japan, and he didn't know the market for a while, thinking about asking for more rent, but when he saw Ning Zhiheng's expression, he knew that he knew the market.

couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and said again: "At least thirty-five yuan." ”

Ning Zhiheng didn't think the rent was expensive, but he was unwilling to rent a house at a high price, which would make it look different, seeing the old man voluntarily lowering the price, he thought about it before he said: "Okay!" ”

Hearing that Ning Zhiheng agreed, the old man suddenly became happy, he laughed, and said: "I am the landlord of this house, Yoshimura Youta, a native of Yokohama, and I will be a neighbor in the future, just tell me if you have something, you just came from China?" ”

Ning Zhiheng nodded and said briefly: "Fujiwara Tomohito, a native of Kyoto, please take care of me!"

"Great, Fujiwara-kun, but it still depends on your proof, the police here are very troublesome, and they often have to come to check, so we still have to pay attention to it!" Yoshimura said embarrassedly.

Ning Zhiheng didn't say much, opened the briefcase, and handed over his immigration household registration certificate.

Yoshimura Youta looked at it, handed it back with a smile, nodded and said, "That's it, I see that you don't have any luggage, I'll go get the bed and futon cover, and if there is anything else, you can tell me." ”

He knew that many immigrants came to China empty-handed like this, so it was not surprising, but he was very thoughtful for Ning Zhiheng.

Ning Zhiheng immediately nodded and said, "Then it's hard!" ”

His words were as short as possible, for fear that Yoshimura Youta would hear the flaw, but fortunately, he coped with it smoothly.

Ning Zhiheng paid two months' rent first, and soon Yoshimura Youta took the futon cover and sent it over, and gave the key to Ning Zhiheng, saying: "If you are not at ease, you can go to the street corner in front of you and buy a good copper core lock by yourself." ”

Ning Zhiheng smiled and nodded, Yoshimura Youta saw that Ning Zhiheng was not good at words, and there was no surprise, the Japanese have a depressed temperament, and many people are silent and silent, which is not surprising, after explaining it clearly, Yoshimura Youta went back.

Ning Zhiheng simply cleaned up the house, this can be regarded as a settlement, the rest of the work is to observe the terrain as soon as possible, so as to facilitate the designation of the assassination plan, thinking of this, he got up and went out, turned around and locked the courtyard door, ready to look around.
