Chapter 260: A Change in the Situation

The officers of the spy bureau ran around for several months, and finally heard the name of Miko Kimura, and people called her "three-inch stunt".

"What do you mean by a three-inch stunt?"

"The master key that opens the safe is about three inches long, so it's called a three-inch stunt."

"But she's a woman?" The Japanese officers were somewhat surprised.

Japanese society is patriarchal, and women will not be allowed to do any work of a certain weight.

But now that the matter is urgent, and there is no suitable man, some officers of the spy bureau have no choice but to let her try.

But when Miko Kimura reported to the spy bureau on her first day, the officer who advocated for her to use it regretted the decision he had made.

It's so ugly, it's so ugly, the officers look at each other, and they don't even know what to say for a while. This is too far from what they imagined to be a powerful safe expert.

But it was this ugly-looking Miko Kimura who quickly used her stunts to stop these officers.

In half an hour, she found three second-level safes in a row, and then, it took twenty minutes to open a first-level safe.

The officer in charge of the theft operation tested her skills by taking her to a special safe in the basement.

Miko Kimura looked the safety up and down, left and right with a pair of small eyes, then knelt on her legs, her ears pressed against the steel door of the safe, and twisted the steel handle of the door and the round pallet with both hands.

And so, after a full forty minutes, her tightly knit brow (which undoubtedly made her more ugly) suddenly lifted, straightened up, and bowed to the officer behind her.

"Sir, you can open it."

He Ye Zhongzuo took a step forward, pulled the heavy steel door, and sure enough, it opened, "Very good, I have confidence in you." He Ye, who has never praised people, couldn't help but say.

Then, He Ye led his subordinates to make a careful plan.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the gates were pulled to announce a power outage in the area of the consulate; The action began at seven o'clock.

Miko Kimura had to climb up a ten-meter-wide ladder to the balcony on the fourth floor of the embassy, and then open the windows on the balcony, the door to the secret room and the door to the safe.

Once you get the code, you have to take it to a nearby house to take a picture and put it back before the American diplomats return from the party.

The plan is thorough, but as long as one link goes wrong, the previous efforts will be lost. Undoubtedly, Miko Kimura is the protagonist of the entire operation.

On the night of the operation, Miko Kimura wore a black suit of pants and cleaned up neatly.

In order to succeed in the operation, she was also assigned two assistants, one was a climbing expert, who was responsible for erecting the ladder and escorting her to climb over; The other is a judo master, who follows her closely in case something unexpected happens.

Don't look at Kimura Miko in front of the safe, but on this trembling ladder, she is not possessed.

For a distance of more than ten meters, she took eight minutes, which was not much faster than a turtle.

Thankfully, she made up for the delay, and it took her seven minutes less than planned to open the balcony window.

After entering the embassy, Kimura Miko and her assistant held hands and reached for the secret room on the third floor.

The exact location of the secret room was bought by the Japanese at great expense from an American commercial counselor who had left his post a year earlier.

In the darkness, Miko not only felt her hands and feet trembling, but even felt her teeth colliding. If it weren't for a strong assistant by her side, she would have collapsed to the ground.

She was seized by fear and nervousness, and all she felt was a mess in her head, and terrible visions appeared in front of her eyes from time to time...... The lights suddenly turned on, and the guards appeared on the stairs, bayonets pressed at her.

They walked around the dark labyrinth for about ten minutes, and finally touched the door of the secret room.

When Miko Kimura touched the doorknob, the fear disappeared without a trace, and in less than a minute, she opened the lock.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that a secret room usually has two or three doors, or even more floors.

And this first door is completely posturing, in order to confuse people so that they will not recognize which one is the secret room. So, the lock on the first door is usually a general lock, and of course it is easy for Miko.

Pushing open the first door and entering less than two meters, I really touched a handle again, and I could feel that it was a metal door, at least a metal plate shell.

Miko reached out and found that there were two locks on the door, one open and one hidden, and it took fifteen minutes to open them.

After entering the secret room, Miko and her assistant felt a burst of relief because it was a closed room where they could boldly light up their flashlights.

After a few minutes of observation, Kimura Miko concluded that the safe in front of her belonged to the reed type.

Fuses are usually divided into reed type and knob type, and these two types of safes have their pros and cons, but at that time, people mostly used reed structure.

After seeing the structure clearly, Miko Kimura leaned down, her ears pressed against the safe door, grasped the doorknob with one hand, listened intently, and gently probed her homemade tool into the keyhole.

As the minutes ticked by, and there was deathly silence around her, Miko Kimura crouched over the safe, seemingly forgetting everything.

After a full fifty minutes, the safe finally opened, but Miko Kimura collapsed on the floor due to excessive nervousness, and it was the assistant who carried her back.

For this successful operation, Miko Kimura received the Medal of Honor from the Emperor.

Since then, she has participated in several similar operations and has also run a training class for the Spy Bureau, where agents are taught the secrets of opening safes.

Whew, Miko Kimura exhaled softly and touched her face. She was not happy at all, and although she had succeeded many times, it did not improve her status and did not help her unfortunate personal life in the slightest.

This time, not knowing what kind of mission she was going to perform, she was already starting to get tired of this kind of sneaky action that could not be seen in the dark.

……………

The killing of Fu You'an, a puppet city in Shanghai, caused the two factions in Wang's puppet camp to engage in a "desperate struggle" for control of Shanghai.

The two contenders who wanted to fill the mayor's vacancy were Chen Gongbo and Zhou Fohai, and Wang Wei liked Zhou Fohai and sent him to Shanghai to test the truth.

However, the reaction of the relevant parties to Zhou Fohai's appointment as mayor was lukewarm, and the key factor was the reaction of Japan's secret services.

The assassination of Yuan Zhi'an, who enthusiastically supported Zhou Fohai's candidacy as mayor, in Nanjing, and the killing of another supporter, Lin Zechuan, in Shanghai, hinted at the Japanese intentions to support Chen Gongbo.

And Chen Gongbo was able to win the favor of the Japanese, which was really a traitor to the satisfaction of the great widows.

Earlier, Chen Gongbo, on behalf of Wang Fang, negotiated with Rear Admiral Hikojiro Suga of the Japanese Navy on the issue of ceding Hainan Island to Japan.

According to Wang's intentions, Chen Gongbo shamefully caused Hainan Island to fall into the hands of the Japanese. It was this "talks" that betrayed Hainan Island that created convenient conditions for him.

Because Shanghai was an area dominated by the Japanese navy, the navy naturally wanted someone they had friends with to be the puppet mayor. As a result, Chen Gongbo was able to serve as the puppet city of Shanghai for four years with the support of the Japanese Navy

As soon as Chen Gongbofu took office, he signed a police agreement with Dong Kai Ziwei, the general director of the Ministry of Industry, at Jiangwan City Hall to replace the temporary compromise agreement that had been in place for half a year.

The agreement announced the establishment of regulations for the establishment of the Huxi Special Police Headquarters, which were designed to control the Huxi area adjacent to the two concessions, and clarified the establishment and various provisions for the pursuit of suspects across the border.

However, the puppet regime has shown obvious resistance and opposition to the prohibition of illegal industries in Shanghai and West (such as operating casinos, buying and selling opium, etc.).

As a result, the actual establishment of the Huxi Special Police Department has come to a standstill, even though the Japanese gendarmerie and No. 76, as well as the puppet police who support the illegal atrocities in the country, are fighting for police power.

Due to the long-term feud with Zhou Fohai, and the conflict between No. 76 and the puppet Shanghai government to compete for the huge interests of the improper industry in western Shanghai, Li Shijun was transferred back to Nanjing as the Minister of Police after Chen Gongbo took over as mayor of Shanghai.

Previously, Ding Motun had left No. 76, the land of right and wrong, and went to Nanjing to serve as the Minister of Social Affairs.

As a result, No. 76 was replaced by a new owner, Deng Zuyu, who was a close confidant of Chen Gongbo.

Obviously, No. 76, after repeated blows, has found it difficult to regain its historical "glory" and is even going downhill.

It was in this situation that Ma Mingyu came to the car repair shop and met Chu Jiao in the name of car repair.

As soon as they met, Chu Jiao asked suspiciously, "It's only been how long, why did you run back again?" The situation is not very good. ”

When Ma Mingyu saw Chu Jiao, he felt that her mental state was quite good, at least she had improved in her calmness.

"Why is the situation bad now?" Ma Mingyu said with a smile: "Ding and Li are gone, Zhang Xiaolin is dead, Fu You'an is finished, and the anti-Japanese forces have the upper hand!" ”

Chu Jiao snorted and said: "I'm talking about the general situation, the French Concession is no longer safe, and the Public Concession is also compromising with the Japanese. Perhaps, the concession authorities will join forces with the Japanese to launch a large-scale raid! ”

Ma Mingyu nodded and said, "There is such a possibility." However, we have an inside line in the Ministry of Industry Bureau, and we will get information in advance. So far, there is no such indication. ”

Chu Jiao didn't want to ask who the inside line was, anyway, Shen Chen was there, even if she was her inside line, she was also very well-informed, so she opened her mouth to ask Ma Mingyu's intentions.

"Do you think the same approach will succeed again?" When Chu Jiao heard what Ma Mingyu meant, she couldn't help but be suspicious, "If a car with an oil drum appears, will the spies turn a blind eye?" Just kidding, right? ”

Ma Mingyu smiled and said, "Of course you have to change, how can it be exactly the same?" Just give me the data, and don't worry about anything else. ”

Chu Jiao had a fart data, she didn't ask at all, and Shen Chen didn't tell her, who would want to use it again?

"That's—you'll have to wait, I'll look for it." Chu Jiao delayed for a moment, and said solemnly: "Don't contact me directly, there are guys from unknown sources who have been spying on me recently!" ”

Ma Mingyu became alert and asked, "Unknown origin?" Most of them are enemies, where did you show your feet? Do you want me to help? ”

Chu Jiao waved her hand and said, "I can handle it myself, and I haven't shown any horses." Don't interfere with it, if you don't make a good deal, you will implicate me. ”

Ma Mingyu thought about it and agreed. Chu Jiao is not touching the edge of the organization, which is more beneficial to her, and it is even more difficult for the enemy to seize the handle.

"You'd better provide the data quickly, we're in a hurry." Ma Mingyu said: "As for the contact information, I will try not to meet in the future, you finish writing the information and let people send it to ......"

Chu Jiao took a pen and paper, listened to his narration, and wrote down the address.

The so-called address is just a secret place somewhere, no one receives it, and it is all over if you sneak it in.

The security of this is relatively high, Chu Jiao doesn't have to go in person, just find someone to deliver it. If you are more insured, you can also follow the protection.

"You blew up the Pegasus?" Chu Jiao remembered the place, struck a match, turned the note into ashes, and asked casually.

Ma Mingyu smiled faintly and said, "It's the handiwork of the organization, but I didn't participate, and I didn't know in advance." ”

Chu Jiao raised her eyebrows and said in appreciation: "Good job, it's not a little bit stronger than the results of bombing No. 76." ”

In November 1940, the Japanese government's dream of peace talks with Chongqing was completely shattered, and the Great Wakes convened an imperial council and decided to openly recognize Wang's puppet Nationalist government.

In this regard, Wang Yi was extremely excited: he was finally officially recognized by his master!

Subsequently, Germany, Italy, and their client states Romania, Spain, Hungary, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, and others also recognized Wang's puppet government.

In order to expand its influence, the Japanese puppet wanted to hold a "ceremony to return the capital" to announce the official opening of the Wang government. At the same time, a signing ceremony was held for the "Japan-Manchurian-Chinese Joint Declaration," and the German, Italian, and Japanese "Axis dignitaries" and Japanese officers and spies who were waiting in Shanghai were invited to Nanjing to attend the celebration.

However, when the special train "Tianma" drove along the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway to the Li Wang Temple near the cross-Tang Bridge outside Suzhou, a violent explosion occurred, and the whole train was blown up.

The accident site is the cross-Tang Bridge outside Suzhou, less than two kilometers from the Suzhou Railway Station, and the heavily armed Japanese rescue troops quickly arrived at the scene by vehicle. There was a fierce exchange of fire with the guerrillas, and there were casualties on both sides in the shootout.

The reinforcements of the Japanese army fought back against the guerrillas at any cost, apparently unwilling to allow the guerrillas to storm the scene and hijack or kill the wounded.

Although the guerrillas paid the price of several casualties under the heavy fire of the Japanese army, they had no chance to clear the battlefield to expand the results of the battle, so they could only escape from the Japanese siege and escape.

According to later verification, the special train "Tianma" was full of military and political leaders of the Japanese state, spies of Wang's puppet officials, and "distinguished guests" of the Axis powers from Shanghai, as well as guards accompanying the car.

Among the Japanese puppeteers who were killed on the spot were two Osa Osa, two cabinet commissioners, and many intelligence officers, totaling more than 170 people.

It was originally regarded as a "great celebration" day by the Japanese king, but it became a day of mourning for the Japanese and traitors, and this blow can be described as extremely heavy.

At the same time, this major incident is also the main reason why Li Shijun was transferred from No. 76.

This is because the car bombing incident shows that the Japanese-occupied areas in Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang are constantly being encroached upon by anti-Japanese forces, and the Japanese puppet grassroots regime is in danger.

Therefore, the Japanese invaders tried to plan a "clean-up" campaign to save the situation. Li Shijun not only took office as the Minister of Police, but also served as the secretary general of the Wang Puppet Township Cleansing Committee, and his task was to cooperate with the Japanese devils to "clean up the township".
