The next day, at the agreed contact point, Xia Deyan handed over two microfilms and stationery to Lin Hanwen.

"Look at it, the shadow sent me last night, and the drawings are in hand so soon! It turns out that the intelligence capabilities of the shadow are unmatched, and they never let us down! ”

Xia Deyan's tone of voice was both excited and gratifying, as the one-line contact of the shadow, he was sincerely proud of every achievement the shadow made.

Lin Hanwen scanned the contents of the letter at a glance, his heart jumped, he forced himself to hold his mind, and took a magnifying glass to take two copies of microfilm in front of his eyes and carefully examined it, for fear of missing something, after a long time, he raised his head, looked at Xia Deyan, and asked with some uncertainty: "I really can't believe it, the shadow has succeeded like this?" ”

The drawing film brought by Xia Deyan made Lin Hanwen really in a trance, and he didn't come to his senses for a long time.

Ever since he received an order from his superiors to order underground party organizations at all levels in South and Central China to search for the whereabouts of the drawings at any cost, he has used all the resources he can muster, even at the expense of issuing orders to ace intelligence agents of the level of Shadow and Bat.

According to the difficulty level of this mission, he knew very well that this would be a tough battle in his intelligence career, and he might even pay a heavy price for it, or pay the price, and get nothing, and honestly, he was mentally prepared enough.

But just ten days after the order was issued, the shadow was so gently and skillfully sent the drawings to him, and some of the previous mental preparations, like a heavy punch that had been gaining momentum for a long time, suddenly hit the empty place, and the empty space made him feel a little uncomfortable!

"You can't believe it, can you? Haha, I was also stunned at first, how did you get such high-level top-secret information so quickly? It's not that the intelligence says that Hong Kong is tracking down tightly, forces from all sides are gathered, and the situation is grim, but who knows, the drawings have already entered Shanghai and fallen into the hands of shadows, which is really unimaginable! ”

Lin Hanwen also scratched his head and said suspiciously: "No, the Japanese are also looking for drawings now, could it be the British?" It's hard to say, it's possible to cover it up, but how can the shadow be related to the British? Isn't he lurking on the Seventy-Six? ”

Xia Deyan was as confident in the shadow as always, and said with a smile: "Didn't we judge before, the shadow is not fighting alone, judging from the intelligence he has collected over the years, he must have developed a considerable intelligence force around him, not to mention far away, for example, the Qingdao secret agreement obtained before, almost as soon as the meeting ended, he had already obtained such top-secret information, which is enough to show that he has his own intelligence sources within the Japanese intelligence department, and the level of secrecy is very high. Therefore, judgments cannot be measured by ordinary standards. ”

"Yes! Every time he has information, it refreshes my perception of him, and I can't see him more and more clearly now! Lin Hanwen shook his head, and couldn't help but feel emotional.

Since the relationship between the shadows was transferred to Shanghai, only he, the leader, knows how much help he has given to the underground organizations, and it can be said that the shadow has contributed to the achievements of the underground party organizations in Shanghai today.

Not to mention the huge financial support, even the intelligence ability is also more and more relied on by Lin Hanwen, and it is precisely because of the affirmation of the shadow intelligence ability that he made up his mind to use the shadow and participate in this search for drawings.

He looked at the film in his hand and laughed self-deprecatingly: "This is so smooth, it makes me feel bottomless, to be honest, I have no clue before, there are no clues, and I am taking food under the noses of the Japanese and the British, I am not optimistic about this task, I am really curious how he did it?" ”

Xia Deyan said with a smile: "Those who are difficult will not, but those who will will not be difficult!" We look at difficult things, but the shadow is hand-to-hand, Lao Lin, or your decision is correct, establish a two-way connection with the shadow, we work in a clear direction, targeted, this efficiency is raised all of a sudden, you see, the first battle was won! ”

Xia Deyan's words made Lin Hanwen couldn't help laughing, and said: "What you said is not wrong, I thought about it like this before, I always passively waited for the news of the shadow, there is a lot of important work that cannot be conveyed to him, and the role of the shadow cannot be fully played at all, there is no problem now, Lao Xia, it seems that your work in the future will be busy, haha!" ”

Xia Deyan was also in good spirits when he heard this, and nodded again and again, both of them were excited.

Two days later, in the eastern urban area of Shanghai, in the Mulan Community Courtyard, Ning Zhiheng's residence, He Siming was also reporting to Ning Zhiheng some follow-up information about the drawings.

"According to the news from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, there was a fierce conflict between the Japanese and the British in Hong Kong, and the cause was the disappearance of a British intelligence officer, and the British suspected that it was the Japanese who did it, so they vigorously liquidated the Japanese intelligence forces in Hong Kong, and it is said that the Japanese peripheral forces in Hong Kong were almost completely wiped out, and the losses were very great!"

When Ning Zhiheng heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "The intelligence force of the Japanese in Hong Kong is already weak, and this time they have suffered a big loss, and it is estimated that they will be in a state of collapse." ”

He Siming nodded and said: "That's true, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs handled things unfavorably this time, was severely reprimanded by the base camp, and the pressure was very high, and according to their information, the British attitude was resolute, it should not be a fraud, the missing British intelligence officer must be the key person in it, and the drawings are on him nine times out of ten." ”

Sure enough, now everyone's focus is on Scott, Ning Zhiheng nodded secretly, and said: "That's the best, let them go and find it, in the end, the bamboo basket will be empty, let's wait and see." ”

Ning Zhiheng's words made He Siming's eyes light up, he knew that Ning Zhiheng had left the city for more than ten days, but in such a time, could it be that there was already a harvest in the seat?

He asked in a low voice, "What, the drawings really entered Shanghai?" We got in touch with that intelligence officer? ”

Ning Zhiheng didn't have to hide it from He Siming, as the most important intelligence officer under him, He Siming needed to participate in many follow-up things, and there was no need to hide it.

So he nodded and said: "I did get in touch, and now the drawings have been obtained, but this intelligence officer is very unreliable, we have dealt with it, what you have to do now is to pay close attention to the follow-up development, if the Japanese turn the direction of the investigation to us, we must report it in time." ”

"That's true!" He Siming clapped his hands happily and smiled, "But the Japanese are not stupid, they have already guessed that this intelligence officer may have absconded to Shanghai, and made drawings through the intelligence market, and the special high school department has also received an order to assist in the investigation, and many departments have moved." ”

This is not unexpected, Scott's disappearance, the British suspect that the Japanese did it, but the Japanese themselves know that this matter has nothing to do with them, Scott is likely to abscond with his own map because he couldn't resist the temptation of interests, so where will he go?

Since it was for money, then the drawings must be cashed in, and Shanghai, as the largest intelligence concentration in China, has certainly become Scott's preferred destination, so now Shanghai is once again the focus of attention of the Japanese.

However, this is also in line with Ning Zhiheng's thoughts, the news of the drawings being traded in the Shanghai intelligence market can just cover up the truth, and you can also take advantage of the situation to explain to the bureau headquarters and get yourself out of the matter.

Thinking of this, he instructed He Siming: "Find a way to spread the rumor, just say that this intelligence officer has entered Shanghai and is currently looking for a buyer to trade, can you do it?" ”

"No problem!" He Siming immediately nodded and agreed, with his current intelligence ability in Shanghai, it is not difficult for the Japanese intelligence department to secretly spread some gossip, "This matter is easy to operate, with the current situation, as long as there is a little rumor casually, it will soon spread all over Shanghai, and I will arrange it." ”

Ning Zhiheng has always been at ease with He Siming, his talent in intelligence is indeed outstanding, and he is also cautious in doing things, and he has never made a mistake.

After arranging this matter, he changed the subject and asked, "By the way, how is the bank going?" ”

He Siming nodded and said: "Everything is going well, at present, the engraving of ten yuan of the Zhongchu coin is close to completion, Ito Teppei said, there are ten days at most to give me this engraving, as for the engraving of five yuan, it will take a few days." ”

"Has the Reserve Bank started printing?" Ning Zhiheng asked.

He Siming replied: "It has already begun, the printing house is working day and night, according to the plan, all the banknotes will be printed at the end of the year, by the way, Zhou Fushan also came to Shanghai, just a few days ago." ”

"Zhou Fushan came to Shanghai?" This news immediately attracted Ning Zhiheng's attention, "Because of the matter of the Reserve Bank? ”

"Yes, now that the Reserve Bank has completed preparations, as the nominal president of the Nanjing Reserve Bank, Zhou Fushan should also come to Shanghai to sit down, it is said that he came to Shanghai this time to lobby the Shanghai business community to fully accept the issuance of the China Reserve Currency, and in the past two days, he has been in contact with many people in the financial circles."

If it were not for the approval of Shanghai's financial circles, the major foreign-funded banks and the four major banks of the Kuomintang, as well as all the private banks, would have boycotted the issuance of the China Reserve currency and would not carry out exchange business, then the China Reserve currency would have played the role of a Japanese military ticket at most, and the value of the issue would have shrunk greatly.

However, Ning Zhiheng is not optimistic about Zhou Fushan's trip, of course, the final result will not change, as the situation develops, the Nanjing puppet government will naturally use various methods to solve these problems, he just let it be.
