Wang Mo was busy inspecting the military and police units in various provinces and carrying out a comprehensive reorganization of all the units.

Yuan Shikai was busy purchasing large quantities of arms from foreigners to expand the strength of the various departments of the Beiyang Army.

Long Jiguang of Guangdong was busy uniting with Lu Rongting of Guangxi, and the Gui army and the Guangdong army had the intention of forming an alliance to protect themselves.

During this period of time, although the whole country seems to be calm, in fact, there are undercurrents.

The Beiyang Group and the Wang Family, the two major power groups in the north and south of the Republic of China, were in full swing preparing for war, and even ordinary people could see that in order to compete for the right to rule the whole of China, the outbreak of war would be a matter of time.

Not only are the domestic forces keeping their eyes open to the competition between the two major power groups, Beiyang and the Wang family, but foreigners from all over the world are also paying close attention to the changes in the situation in China, especially Japan.

Although Japan is now busy seizing and consolidating German colonies in the Pacific and trying to extend its tentacles into the South Seas, it does not ignore China because of this.

On the contrary, the Japanese sent a large number of spies to China to collect information on various forces, especially the every move of the southern royal family.

Moreover, in order to rescue Shinsuke Kimura who was trapped in Nanjing City, Japan also specially sent a team of capable spies to infiltrate Nanjing.

The Japanese secret service department was naturally not unaware of such a big move by the Japanese secret service personnel, and the information was quickly collected and screened by the special service personnel in various localities and sent to the hands of the director of the special service department, who was in charge of the situation in Nanjing.

"The Oriental people are so unscrupulous, is it true that our secret service department does not exist?" The blue wolf threw the information summary on the desk and sneered.

"Director, the Oriental people are making such a big move, and there are many people who are coming to our Nanjing, obviously to answer Kimura Shinsuke." Tan Ping, head of the Nanjing spy operation team of the Secret Service Division, said.

That's right. Originally, the secret service department closely monitored and searched Nanjing City for so many days, but it never found any trace of Kimura Shinsuke, and even the blue wolf once thought that Kimura Shinsuke had quietly sneaked out of Nanjing City. However, now that the Japanese spy intelligence officers are coming towards the city of Nanjing, there is no doubt that Shinsuke Kimura is still trapped in the city of Nanjing.

The blue wolf said with murderous intent in his eyes: "No matter what, we can't let the commander of the operation who attempted to assassinate the young marshal Kimura Shinsuke slip out of our noses, otherwise how can our secret service department be worthy of the trust and reuse of the young marshal!" ”

"Director. I think that we might as well keep an eye on those Oriental spies who infiltrate the city and try to pick up Kimura Shinsuke, and we will be able to track down Kimura Shinsuke's traces. Tan Ping suggested.

This is a way, since the Japanese spies came to Nanjing City to rescue the trapped Kimura Shinsuke, they must have tried every means to contact Kimura Shinsuke. As long as you keep an eye on them, Shinsuke Kimura will appear sooner or later.

This method sounded good, but the blue wolf still shook his head and said, "Orientals are not so stupid, maybe they will release bait to attract our attention. In addition, there is a team of people we don't know about who will take Shinsuke Kimura out. Therefore, this approach cannot be fully relied upon. Of course, the Toyo spy intelligence personnel that we have already locked down still have to be monitored at all times. ”

This is a problem, Kimura Shinsuke is now nesting like a rat in a hole in the ground without showing his head, and it is likely that there are officials from the Nanjing city government to cover him, and he will not be found at all.

Tan Ping couldn't help asking, "Director General, how should we track down and arrest Kimura Shinsuke now?" ”

The wolf's eyes flickered, and his thoughts were half loud. Only then did he seem to have made up his mind, and said heavily, "Tell the brothers below." Stop all tracking and arrest operations, we will not move! ”

"Still?" Tan Ping was stunned, he didn't expect the blue wolf to make such a decision at all.

"Yes, we're not moving!" The blue wolf once again emphasized, "Don't take the initiative to track and hunt down Shinsuke Kimura, and closely monitor all roads in and out of Nanjing City. And all the Toyo agents who have been locked! As long as Shinsuke Kimura wants to get out of the city, then he will definitely do something. As long as he makes a move, he will naturally show his tracks, not completely disappear as he does now! ”

"The director is clever, and he will be ordered to go down. Revoke all overt manhunts. Tan Ping said with sincere admiration.

After Wang Haoshan led the Sichuan army into Nanjing, although the order on the surface was quickly restored to normal, the underground order was surging, and all kinds of undercurrents and fighting never stopped for a day.

On the one hand, it is because the remnants of the Green Gang are secretly sabotaging and fighting with the Nanjing Yimeng who betrayed the Green Gang.

On the other hand, it is because Nanjing is the center of power of the inter-provincial autonomous government, and intelligence personnel from all sides at home and abroad are lurking here.

In the huge city of Nanjing, if it weren't for the assistance of peripheral organizations such as the Nanjing Police Department and the Yimeng, the Secret Service Department might not have been able to suppress all kinds of ghosts, snakes, and gods.

As the blue wolf's order was given, the policemen and members of the Righteous League, who were always searching for someone from time to time, all died down at once.

Ordinary people may not notice any change, but those who walk in the dark feel it immediately.

Nanjing Dongcheng, the residence of police chief Chen Bo.

Chen Bo, who had just come home from work at the police station, seemed to be in a very good mood, smiling all the way, and couldn't help humming some tunes in a low voice from time to time.

Soon after returning home, Chen Bo avoided the eyes of his family, looked at the door of the study for a while, and carefully saw that no one was secretly staring at him, and then walked into the study.

Walking into the study, Chen Bo did not look at the writing, but walked to the bookshelf and knocked on the bookshelf three times rhythmically.

Smack!

There seemed to be a sound of some mechanism being opened, and Chen Bo immediately pushed the bookshelf to the right.

The bookshelf, which was supposed to be untouched, was pushed open, and behind the bookshelf was a secret room.

As soon as Chen Bo walked into the secret room, he was suddenly hit by a pistol against his head, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly exclaimed: "Mr. Kimura, it's me, no one else!" ”

At this time, a person appeared from the right side of the secret room, and it was none other than Shinsuke Kimura, who had been searched by the Secret Service Division for many days without a trace.

It turned out that Kimura Shinsuke was hiding in the house of Chen Bo, the chief of the Nanjing Police Department, and it was no wonder that the secret service department could not find him when they searched the entire city of Nanjing.

Although the Secret Service Division is expanding rapidly, it is still too manpower, and it is necessary to rely on the manpower of the police to search many parts of Nanjing.

In this case, it is easy for Chen Bo, the chief of the Nanjing Police Department, who is the head of the land, to hide himself.

Shinsuke Kimura didn't let go of the muzzle that was against Chen Bo's head. Instead, he cautiously looked around the study outside the secret room to make sure that there was no one else, then put down the gun, and then pushed the bookshelf and closed the door to the secret room.

"It's not time for us to meet, what are you doing here?" Shinsuke Kimura glared at Chen Bo fiercely.

The muzzle of the gun on the door of the head was removed. Chen Bo finally breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at Kimura Shinsuke: "Mr. Kimura, I came here in advance, mainly because I have good news that I want to tell you earlier. ”

"What's the news, tell me." Kimura said expressionlessly, obviously not thinking that Chen Bo could bring him any real good news.

These days, Chen Bo has long been accustomed to Kimura Shinsuke's attitude, so he doesn't care much, and immediately said, "Mr. Kimura." The time is ripe for you to leave the city of Nanjing! ”

"Oh?" Shinsuke Kimura's eyelids lifted slightly, glanced at Chen Bo with some surprise, and asked, "What do you say?" ”

"The Secret Service Department ordered to stop all search and arrest operations against you today, thinking that they have found nothing for so many days, and they have completely given up." Chen Bo said happily.

Chen Bo was not happy for Shinsuke Kimura, but for himself. Shinsuke Kimura is hiding in his house like a bomb that may explode at any time, and he can't eat well, and he doesn't feel stable. Every day, I was afraid that someone from the Secret Service would rush into his house and arrest him. Just send away the hot potato of Shinsuke Kimura. He can have peace of mind.

"Are you sure?" Shinsuke Kimura asked suspiciously.

Chen Bo nodded very affirmatively and replied, "I'm sure that today the Secret Service Department has officially issued an order to our police station to cancel the search, how can there be any fake." Mr. Kimura, I'll arrange for you to go out of the city these two days, and I'll make sure you're safe! ”

"No way!" Shinsuke Kimura flatly refused. "The blue wolf of the Secret Service Department is a resolute and ruthless character, it is impossible to give up so quickly, this must be a trap, I can't leave now!"

"Why can't it be done, I have been searching for more than half a month and have found nothing. It's no wonder if you don't give up. Mr. Kimura, now is the best time to leave, I beg you, you can get out of the city in these two days! Chen Bo said with some irritability, he was really fed up with this kind of fearful days.

"Director Chen, are you trying to kill yourself? Let me out of the city now, once I am arrested, I will not keep a word about your involvement in the assassination of Wang Mo. If the Secret Service Department learns that you secretly colluded with us and participated in the assassination of Wang Mo, will you and your family still have a way to live? Shinsuke Kimura sneered.

"You" Chen Bo suddenly trembled with anger, he really regretted it now, he shouldn't have coveted the little gold of the Oriental people in the first place, so that he fell into a crisis like today.

After that, no matter how much Chen Bo persuaded and pleaded, Kimura Shinsuke was unwilling to leave the Chen Mansion, so the two had several fierce quarrels almost every day.

In the following days, Chen Bo frequently went in and out of the secret room of the study to persuade Kimura Shinsuke to leave the city, and such an unusual behavior inevitably attracted the attention and curiosity of the subordinates in the Chen Mansion, who talked and speculated with each other in private.

There were many people, and the news was quickly passed through the peripheral organizations of the Secret Service Division, and finally placed on the desk of the Secret Service Director, the Blue Wolf.

Upon learning of this news, the blue wolf, who was already suspected that Shinsuke Kimura might be hiding in the home of an official in Nanjing City, immediately designated Chen Bo's mansion as a key monitoring location.

Three days later, in the evening, outside Chen Bo's mansion, in the shadows of flowers and walls, a figure flashed by.

The Nanjing spy team of the Secret Service Department was almost dispatched tonight, and hundreds of black-clad operatives quietly sneaked outside the residence of Director Chen Bo and Chen.

"Have you determined the specific location of Shinsuke Kimura?" The blue wolf, who had personally come to direct the operation, asked Tan Ping.

Tan Ping nodded and replied, "It's confirmed, Shinsuke Kimura should be hiding in the Chen Mansion's study!" Chen Bo frequently goes in and out of the study, and in the past half a month, he has changed his habit for many years, and he always eats in the study, and the amount of food has increased greatly! Can't be wrong, Shinsuke Kimura must be hiding in the Chen Mansion study, and there should be a secret room in that study that outsiders don't know! ”

"Then let's act, but don't make too much movement, this is what the young marshal has repeatedly advised!" The blue wolf said.

"Yes, I understand!" Tan Ping immediately responded, and then turned around to direct the operation personnel to carry out the operation.

As the order to take action was issued, hundreds of special service personnel quietly entered Chen Bo's mansion like ghosts in the night. (To be continued......)
