After receiving the telegram, Feng Chen held a meeting on the fifth floor of the Zhonghui Bank building attended by all the personnel of the intelligence group to make arrangements for the assignment of tasks.
"Just now, Chief Dai of the General Headquarters called, and in the afternoon, senior Japanese generals held an extraordinary meeting in the Japanese Consulate to discuss the strategy of the next stage of the general attack on our army's position.
After the meeting began, Feng Chen glanced around at everyone, and then gave a briefing on the situation.
"Team leader, the content of this meeting depends on you, the rest of us are not familiar with the personnel in the consulate, and we can't approach them, let alone steal the content of the meeting." After Feng Chen finished speaking, Fang Xiaoman continued.
"Of course, I came forward to obtain this information, and this does not need to involve everyone's energy, I will now divide the work that everyone should do in the near future." Feng Chen felt that Fang Xiaoman's words were very reasonable.
"Team leader, is Yoshiko Kawashima still following?" Wu Ping asked.
"Continue to follow her, focusing on who she is in contact with, I suspect that the purpose of her coming to Shanghai this time is to instigate the rebel generals of the national army and track down Kawashima Yoshiko, Xu Jian and Wu Ping are responsible for the matter."
Feng Chen began to arrange everyone's work.
"Recently, Ge Qing has assisted Deputy Team Leader Fang to be on duty in the telecommunications room, and is in charge of Wang Tiedan's peripheral action team, doing a good job of guarding the Zhonghui Bank building and the Jinjiang Chuanwei Restaurant."
"Then you act alone, who is responsible for safety?" Fang Xiaoman asked with concern.
"Don't worry about this, just pay attention to safety."
Feng Chen had just finished assigning everyone's tasks, and there was a knock on the door outside, and Wu Ping, who was sitting at the door, got up and went over to open them, and Wang Tiemin stood outside the door.
"President Feng, a lady has called and asked you to pick it up."
"Okay, let's go about our own business." Feng Chen got up and gave an order, and followed Wang Tiemin to the editorial office on the third floor.
picked up the microphone and said "Hey", and the sweet voice of Imai Yingzi came from inside: "Feng Jun, do you know who I am?" ”
"Yingzi? Are you in Shanghai? What about Keiko? Did she come to Shanghai too? Feng Chen asked excitedly.
"Feng Jun, I'm sorry to disappoint you, Keiko is still in Tokyo, I arrived by plane this morning with my teacher Ozaki-kun, you know? Feng Jun, Ozaki-sensei is now the advisor and private secretary of Prime Minister Konoe. ”
On the phone, Imai Eiko told Feng Chen a good news that made him excited, Ozaki Hidemi came to Shanghai, and Ozaki Hideshi was an adviser to Prime Minister Fumiro Konoe of Japan.
"Yingzi, where will you be? Ozaki-kun? I'm going to give you coffee. ”
Feng Chen couldn't wait to meet Ozaki Hidemi, Ozaki Hidemi must know the content of the meeting of senior Japanese generals held at the Japanese Consulate today.
"I'm going to have coffee with my teacher at the European-style café on Aidoya Road, come over quickly, I brought you a letter from Keiko." Imai Eiko warmly invited Feng Chen.
Feng Chen analyzed, this must be Ozaki Hidemi also wanted to see him, and it was not convenient to move alone, so he brought Imai Eiko to cover people's eyes.
Putting down the phone, Feng Chen instructed Wang Tiemin, who was standing on the side, and said, "Tiemin, you arrange a few reliable brothers to go to the European style café to guard the surroundings, and if you find a suspicious character, immediately go to the café's box 3 to inform me." ”
Wang Tiemin agreed and immediately went out to make arrangements.
Feng Chen hurriedly came to the European-style café, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Hidemi Ozaki and Eiko Imai sitting on a small round table facing the door, drinking coffee.
Feng Chen beckoned to the bar, and the waiter greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Feng, the third box is kept, are you drinking coffee or tea?" ”
"Come to a pot of big red robes, you personally send it up, pay attention to the idle people, you can't just go to the No. 3 box." Feng Chen commanded.
The waiters here are all disciples of the Qing Gang, and they are reliable people that Zhang Tie has chosen and chosen, so Feng Chen is still very relieved to talk about things in this place.
After the arrangement, Feng Chen walked to the place where Ozaki Hidemi and the others were sitting with a smile, and greeted Ozaki Hidemi: "Ozaki-kun, I'm so happy to see you." ”
"Feng Sang, so am I." Hidemi Ozaki smiled slightly and shook hands with Feng Chen warmly.
"Feng Jun, aren't you happy to see me?" Imai Eiko next to her was naughtily joking with Feng Chen.
"Happy, happy, I'm very happy to see you old friends!" Feng Chen smiled and nodded.
"Lie, if Miss Keiko were here, you would be so happy!" There was no strangeness between Imai Eiko and Feng Chen.
"Let's go, let's go to box three on the second floor, it's quieter there." Feng Chen made a gesture of please.
The three of them came to the No. 3 box on the second floor and sat down, and the waiter just now, carrying a pot of freshly brewed Da Hong Pao tea, followed closely behind, entered the box, poured a cup of tea for everyone, and exited the box.
"Ozaki-kun, I heard that you are now an advisor to Prime Minister Konoe?" Feng Chen asked
"Well, because Prime Minister Konoe needs to understand China's national conditions, I have been active in China for a long time, and I have a good personal relationship with Prime Minister Konoe, so in June this year, he hired me as his personal adviser." Hidemi Ozaki replied.
"Congratulations!" Feng Chen said.
"Congratulations on what? I still like my job as a journalist, freedom, like now, it's not convenient to go anywhere. Ozaki said honestly.
"Hehe, isn't it convenient for you to come here for tea?" Feng Chen smiled and asked tentatively.
"I'm stained with Miss Yingzi's light, if I were alone, I would definitely not come here, even if I came here to drink tea and coffee, there would be a lot of eyes staring." Hidemi Ozaki expressed the bitterness in his heart.
"It's me who got the teacher's light, and if the teacher doesn't take me, I don't know when I'll be able to come to China." Eiko Imai said innocently.
Feng Chen understood that Hidemi Ozaki brought Eiko Imai to Shanghai this time just to let her be his shield.
