Yukio Fujita did not keep the news of the establishment of the Special Investigation and Countermeasures Headquarters tightly secret, but disclosed the information to Wen Mian of the Stone Town Branch of the Secret Service Headquarters and the provincial government, as well as Director Wang of the National Police Agency.

This is because the new department led by Yuan Shiheng was specially designed to deal with the underground organization of the Communist Party in Stone Town, and it belonged to a special department related to public security. This department will inevitably have some overlap with these departments in its work, so it is necessary to notify the heads of several departments related to public security in Stone Town in advance.

Although Yukio Fujita repeatedly stressed the need for strict confidentiality when he informed these people of the establishment of the Special Investigation and Countermeasures Headquarters. But his wish was disappointed, and in less than half a day, some powerful people in Stone Town heard the news. However, since the Special Investigation Headquarters is an organization targeting the underground Communist Party, many people did not pay much attention to it after learning about it.

Li Yixin learned the news from several different channels such as Director Wang, Ma Zhixin and Yin Qunli, and confirmed that the news was correct, among which the news that Yin Qunli sent through the dead mailbox was the most accurate.

In fact, Yin Qunli didn't say it, Li Yixin also understood that the establishment of the Special Investigation and Countermeasures Headquarters announced that all the personnel of the Central Union in Stone Town, from Yuan Shiheng down, had openly committed treason to the enemy. This is a new trend, which shows that the Central Unification and the Japanese have reached a tacit understanding in dealing with the Communist Party, and they are no longer as secretive as before, but have begun to make a big show of it.

Li Yixin's identity as an underground party member was destined to attach great importance to the news of the establishment of the special investigation countermeasures headquarters led by Yuan Shiheng, and after he learned the news, he asked his sister-in-law to bring the news to Lao Wu on the same day, and asked Lao Wu to immediately report to his superiors. In addition, he put forward his own analysis, believing that the Central Committee has joined forces with the Japanese to oppose communism, and it is necessary to be vigilant against such a trend.

Since the establishment of the Special Investigation and Countermeasures Headquarters, Yukio Fujita has been very concerned about the progress of Yuan Shiheng's work, because in Fujita's view, among the three major anti-Japanese organizations in Stone Town, military command is not enough to deal with. The Central Unification has been completely co-opted by itself to deal with the underground organization of the Communist Party, and the only one that has not made much progress is the Communist Party.

As long as he can completely crack the underground organization of the Communist Party in Stone Town, then he can rest easy, and there is no need to worry about the unorganized anti-Japanese elements, just like the military commander agent who served as the liaison for Yan Fuzhi.

Although the search for this military commander agent has continued, and no one has been caught, Fujita Yukio doesn't care too much about the military commander's activities in Stone Town, because he also has a former military commander agent Yin Qunli in his hand, and the military commander agent who served as a liaison for Yan Fuzhi was recognized by Yin Qunli by chance? As long as this military commander agent is still active in Stone Town, sooner or later he will be caught and identified.

However, since the establishment of the Special Investigation and Countermeasures Headquarters, Yuan Shiheng has not been able to contact the inside line of the Communist Party, which makes Fujita Yukio a little anxious. Because he was anxious to get information about the underground organization of the Communist Party through this inside line, he would summon Yuan Shiheng basically every day and ask if he had contacted the inside line of the Communist Party.

Yuan Shiheng was facing tremendous pressure, and it was impossible for him to tell Fujita Yukifu that it was Deputy Director Ye of the Central Command who told him that the inside line was going to lie dormant for a while, so he could only make up this inside line Because of the frequent activities some time ago, he betrayed Gong Xie Cheng and Xu Wenwu, so he chose to return to silence for the sake of safety.

Yuan Shiheng's reason is reasonable, no matter how anxious Fujita Yukio is, there is no way, and in order to reduce his pressure, Yuan Shiheng also specially reminded Fujita Yukio that if you want to obtain accurate and important information about the Communist Party's underground organization, you must not overuse this internal line, lest the internal line be discovered by the Communist Party.

On this day, after Yukio Fujita summoned Yuan Shiheng as usual, he received a telegram from the head of the "Mei Agency" in Shanghai, saying that there was a Yokota Co., Ltd. in the empire that would set up a commercial office in Stone Town, and that in the next few days, a Shina merchant surnamed Hou would come to Stone Town as an office manager to open a trading company, and asked the Special High School to provide necessary support for the activities of this businessman with the surname Hou.

Of course, in the telegram, the director also made it clear that Yokota Corporation was nominally a commercial organization run by imperial merchants, but in fact it was an intelligence organization under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Shanghai.

Yukio Fujita was not interested in this kind of work to assist the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' espionage system, because the 'Mei Agency' was subordinate to the Army General Staff Headquarters and had absolutely no connection with the intelligence organization of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Moreover, Yukio Fujita thought that if it were not for the successive victories of the imperial army on the battlefield, there was such a large area of control as it is today, and the current group of civilian officials in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs now wanted to extend their tentacles to Stone Town, which disgusted him.

It's just that for the sake of serving the Japanese Empire, Yukio Fujita really doesn't want to deal with this Yokota Co., Ltd.

Therefore, he was not very interested in this news, and it was even more unlikely that he would meet with the businessman with the surname Hou, because he judged that the businessman with the surname of Hou was just a peripheral agent who was spying on the news for the intelligence organization of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

However, Yukio Fujita still told Shinnosuke Murakami the news, because if the businessman surnamed Hou came to Stone Town to open a shop in Yokota Co., Ltd., he would inevitably seek Shinnosuke Murakami, because Shinnosuke Murakami was nominally the Japanese general adviser to the Huangshan Provincial Government of the Nanjing government. There are many things that it would be more convenient for Shinnosuke Murakami to come forward to do it.

This is how Lao Hou came to Stone Town by train, although he didn't know how the organization got him such a cover identity, but he decided to make good use of this cover on his body to carry out his work.

As soon as he got off the train, he went directly to the traffic station on Hongshizhu Hengjie, and asked Lao Wu to find a way to inform Li Yixin that he would invite Li Yixin to dinner at 6 o'clock tomorrow night in the private room of a pot of spring restaurant.

Lao Wu didn't know that Lao Hou had a new cover identity at this time, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised. He hurriedly reminded Lao Hou: "Comrade Lao Hou, will it be a little inappropriate for you to meet Li Yixin with such fanfare?" ”

Lao Hou didn't explain, but said: "It doesn't matter, Comrade Li Yixin knows that I will come to Stone Town to work recently, and I have a normal excuse to meet him, and others will not suspect it." ”

Seeing that Lao Hou was so sure, Lao Wu no longer persuaded him, but handed the information written by Li Yixin that Che Mei had just sent to Lao Hou, and said: "This is the information that Comrade Che Mei passed on that Comrade Li Yixin wanted to report to his superiors, and now that you are here, I will hand it over to you directly." ”

Lao Hou turned the envelope, tore open the seal, took out the information, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help scolding: "These people in the Kuomintang are really not things, in order to find ways to deal with us, they actually openly defected to the enemy and treason!" ”

Lao Wu didn't answer, but silently turned around and prepared to leave, because he had to adhere to his principles, and he should never ask if he shouldn't know.
