Both sides are using this incident to set a trap to tarnish the image of the other party, or to tarnish the impression of the other party in the minds of the major institutions in Shanghai, and shake the foundation of the other party's survival.

The work of intelligence agencies has always been rigorous, not that agents cannot make mistakes, in fact everyone makes mistakes, the key is not to make low-level mistakes.

Something like this, it is not difficult to verify, even if Kitazawa Ping doesn't do other work, as long as he sends someone to keep an eye on the warehouse, sooner or later he will know the whereabouts of this batch of grain, but the premise is that he must have enough patience.

"Ono-kun, I ask you to do me a favor and send someone to show me the whereabouts of Kitazawa Ping, this guy seems to be eyeing the No. 2 warehouse. Ever since the rice was in storage, the guards have reported to me that there are some suspicious people around. ”

"Counting the entire intelligence circle in Shanghai, there are not many forces that can pay so much attention to me, and if you think about it, I'm afraid there is only this intelligence director of the Mei organ." Chen Mingxiang said.

The location of the Mei Agency's intelligence group is the Japanese-occupied area of Hongkou, and it is somewhat troublesome to monitor, and this is the territory of the Marine Corps, so it would be too wasteful not to borrow the power of the intelligence department of the headquarters, so he asked Ono Nakasa for help.

"This is also my duty, immediately arrange personnel to keep an eye on the location of the intelligence team of the Mei Agency, if there is any news, call your home directly, and ask your wife to inform you."

"Kitazawa Ping didn't know that this batch of rice was purchased by the navy, I guess I thought you were hoarding rice for huge profits, this is interesting, if he complains to the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army, it will be even more exciting!" Onoza said with a smile.

The intelligence department of the navy and the intelligence department of the army basically have no cooperation, and the contradictions between the two sides are very deep, plus Chen Mingxiang has just solved a big problem for the navy, and he is a good friend, and there are reasons for interests, Ono Nakasa very much hopes that Kitazawa will be unlucky.

Although it is unlikely that he took the initiative to set a trap for Kitazawa, he took the initiative to bump into it, which is another way, which is called the willing person taking the bait.

"Section chief, the inspector said that the intelligence team of the Mei agency was going to send someone to the No. 2 warehouse, and they really came, and they dared to come in broad daylight, but they were not small, looking at this situation, it is estimated that they fell into the pit, and they were led by the nose by the inspector's plan." A clerk said with a smile.

"Nonsense, look at the security measures in this warehouse, there are no dogs, there are two smokers and chatting at the door, and the people inside are playing poker in the house, if they don't dare to come, it won't be a joke?"

"Don't comment on things in the station behind your back, to do this profession, the first thing is to keep your mouth tight, do you know the truth that trouble comes from your mouth? Your kid is also the team leader now, and he will soon be promoted to the rank of major, and there are more than twenty novices under him, so you have to pay attention to your words and deeds in front of your subordinates. Zhou Guojun said in a low voice.

About two hours later, Japanese agents from the Ume Intelligence Group brought back a film of the warehouse, which was quickly washed out and sent to Kitazawa's office.

The photo was taken very clearly, and it was taken from multiple angles, which perfectly reflected the situation of the entire warehouse, with three large warehouses full of grain, packed in linen, and almost piled up on the roof.

Japanese agents dismantled more than a dozen sacks in each warehouse, all of which were filled with white rice, which also proved that the sack piles in the three warehouses were indeed 30,000 tons of rice.

"Chen Mingxiang has so strong financial resources, just hoarding these grains, he needs 1.2 billion Chinese reserve bonds, even if he uses some means, at least 1 billion, it is estimated that he has benefited greatly from smuggling and trading in the procurement of strategic materials for the empire over the years."

"It's really not enough to be greedy, the more you make money, the more you think you have less money, you have a life to earn, and you have to have a life to spend! I immediately went to Jinling to meet General Shibayama, and with this as evidence, Chen Mingxiang's charge of hoarding grain in disregard of the interests of the empire was conclusive. Kitazawa said.

When he received the news, Chen Mingxiang was inspecting the examination situation at the university, and the entrance examination for the Shanghai Higher Police School of the Police Department was being carried out intensely here.

Saito Daisa, who arrived from Jinling, and four advisers, plus Kiyoshi Tsukamoto and Shizo Okamura of the gendarmerie, and the three deputy directors of the Police Division, can be said to have a relatively strong lineup.

The whole university was full of police and gendarmerie, and although the students were not evicted, they were ordered to stay in the dormitories and not go out, and in fact there were not many students.

To say that it is an inspection is nothing more than to find a place to set up tables and chairs, and a group of officials sit down to drink tea and chat, but this form must be taken.

"Chen Jun, is there anything important?" When Saito Dazuo saw Chen Mingxiang's bodyguard, he hurriedly came to his side and whispered, so he asked curiously.

"It's nothing, someone from the Intelligence Department of the Marine Corps Headquarters just now saw that Kitazawa Ping secretly took the train to Jinling, considering that he and I have always had contradictions, by the way, he will communicate with me with a message." Chen Mingxiang said.

As soon as Kitazawa Ping came to Shanghai, he was looking for his own trouble, which was not a secret in the Mei organ, and he said it generously, but he seemed to be frank.

Moreover, he had a lot of connections with the Japanese military intelligence agency, and when he brought out the information, no one suspected that he actually monitored the operation of the entire Mei Agency's intelligence group.

"It seems that there must be more important work, and I need to report to the head of the Shibayama agency in person, this guy is very ambitious, and he failed to become a consultant at the police academy, so he is probably disappointed, and maybe even I hate it so much that my teeth hurt."

"Your Excellency General wants me to tell you that he will leave the Kwantung Army on the 2nd of next month and go to Rabaul Fortress to serve as the division commander of the 38th Division of the Eighth Front Army.

"Your Excellency the general is here this time is confidential, just leave after having a meal and meeting our old subordinates, Qingqi Qingyin will also come over, the general will designate a place for you to arrange a meeting and prepare in advance, but don't spread this matter, especially not to tell Li Shiqun." Daisa Saito said.

On the second day of next month, that is the day after tomorrow, the time is completely in time, but the main point that Chen Mingxiang is concerned about is that Ying Zuo Zhenzhao left the Kwantung Army to the distant Rabaul, will there be any mystery in this, is it possible that in the case of the failure of the Battle of Kuah Island, the Japanese army will launch a new campaign in the south?

But the problem is that judging from various circumstances, the Japanese army does not have such capabilities at all, the air and sea there are already controlled by the US military, and Rabaul is almost isolated, what is going to happen?
