Moreover, Li Shiqun deeply admired Hawthorne's meticulous professionalism, and although most of his subordinates were gangsters, traitors, and other social dregs, this did not prevent him from having full respect for experts - of course, Li Shiqun always considered himself to belong to the category of "experts" - as a master trained in Soviet Russia, he was a well-deserved expert in the secret service industry. www.biquge.info Therefore, Li Shiqun relies heavily on professionals like Hawthorne, who are rare in his own department, and Hawthorne's "innocent" background, super ability, professionalism, and loyal attitude also make Li Shiqun always give him the most important task to complete.

"Go find him, hurry! Then, leave it to me to take care of it! As soon as Hawthorne arrived at Shanghai's Laobei Station, he was taken to the secret service headquarters office building at No. 76 Jisfeier Road by an unmarked insurance sedan (bulletproof), and Li Shiqun summoned him overnight.

Hawthorne nodded calmly, "Sure enough, you've found the right person this time!" He thought to himself, "It's definitely a good idea to let an underground party member dig up an underground CCP worker!" ”

"Understood!" Hawthorne has always been concise and to the point, and of course, this is one of the reasons why Li Shiqun admires him.

Li Shiqun looked at Hawthorne with satisfaction and continued: "Also, I want you to find out how the Mei organ knew that there might be underground party moles in No. 76?" ”

"Understood!" Hawthorne's answer was still just two words.

"Hawthorne is capable enough, but he is a little unkind!" Li Shiqun looked at Hawthorne with a smile and thought to himself, "But it's okay, you need this kind of cold spirit to be a detective." He leaned back comfortably in his chair and said in a relaxed tone, "This time, you're going to work with Yoshino of the Ume Agency, communicate with him, and cooperate with each other to find the mole inside Seventy-Six." Of course, you should understand that there are some things that Yoshino needs to know, and there are some things that the Ume Agency doesn't need to know. ”

Hawthorne playfully said something in Li Shiqun's words: "This guy is not the same heart as the devil?" Well, there's drama...... In the end, he is an old spy, and he doesn't leave a flaw in his speech, he only gives me a hint and lets me experience it myself, and when the time comes, even if the Japanese devil really wants to blame something, he can get away with it. ”

"Understood!" Hawthorne replied with a calm face.

"This Yoshino is a tough guy." Li Shiqun reminded him "kindly", but in his heart he recalled the past when Yoshino snatched She Manshi from his hands, "Yoshino is very shrewd and can play a little clever, and Qingqi is also very angry with Yoshino, and he has just been promoted to Shaozo recently." This time, nominally he will be responsible for the detection, but I'm sure that his little cleverness is only a little clever to you, and this is an internal matter of Seventy-Six, and of course we will be responsible! ”

Hawthorne smiled understandingly: "Understood! ”

"Okay, you go to rest first, I have arranged your accommodation and office space, and I will officially start work tomorrow. My secretary, Xiao Ding, will come to pick you up and meet with Yoshino, and come to me directly if there is any situation or need. After finishing speaking, Li Shiqun made a bet with himself in his heart, betting that Hawthorne would definitely answer "understood" this time.

Unexpectedly, Hawthorne stopped answering "understood" this time, perhaps he himself felt that his answer was too monotonous, so Hawthorne replied: "Yes!" ”

Li Shiqun sighed, waved his hand and said, "Go, the car is waiting for you outside!" While thinking: "This Hawthorne is really like gold." ”

Hawthorne bowed slightly in his standard way of saying goodbye, bowed slightly, saluted, and turned to go out. When he moved into the accommodation arranged for him by Li Shiqun and confirmed that there were no bugs in the room and that there was no surveillance around the residence, he washed up and went to bed. Before he fell asleep, he was thinking about how to report what he had seen and heard tonight to his superiors in northern Shaanxi -- as an "idle man" laid down by Comrade "Wu Hao" in those years, he was now under the direct control of Shen Nan of the Central Intelligence Department, and there was a covert communication system for him to use in Nanjing, where he was active, but this system was still in effect in Shanghai -- Shen Nan arranged several dead mailboxes for him.

While Hawthorne was lying in the room arranged for him by Li Shiqun and falling asleep soundly -- as an old qualified underground worker, he had the ability to go to sleep anytime and anywhere to ensure that he had enough energy to deal with unknown emergencies -- in a small conjoined villa on Hailun Road in the Japanese Concession to the north of downtown Shanghai, the "carnival" of General Qingqi Qingyin and his proprietress Yoshiko Hirosue had just begun tonight.

When Qingqi Qingyin tasted various postures again and again, Yoshiko Hirosue echoed with long or short, prodigal or lewd or evil, low or high-pitched waves and moans, as if she was facing her closest lover, the two of them were on the wedding night.

However, Ryoko Hirosue has been crying and dripping blood in her heart, and every attempt of Qingqi Qingyin poked at her heart, making her ashamed and painful.

"Ryoko Hirosue is a spy, a female spy, and a hard-working female spy!" She said to herself again and again, "Ryoko Hirosue's body is no longer her own, and Ryoko Hirosue's love does not exist, she should forget all illusions and honestly complete her mission!" She thought about it again and again, as if it brought her comfort. Finally, she hugged Qingqi Qingyin's sweaty body, closed her eyes and let out a long moan, which seemed to burst out from the depths of her soul, and in her heart, she shouted to herself, "Yoshino-san, I'm here!" ”

What she didn't know was that her Yoshino-san was sitting in his own car at this time, and in the passenger seat beside him sat a short old man with a bow on his head - on a narrow path, two black cars with no signs appeared out of nowhere, blocking Yoshino's car one after the other, and four or five pistols and three submachine guns, the muzzles of the holes in the two cars, sticking out of the windows of these two cars and pointing at Yoshino's head - Yoshino knew that he had been plotted against him, and he didn't even have a chance to escape. Although he had already discovered the tail behind his car after receiving anti-tracking training at the beginning, as the ruler of Shanghai and an intelligence officer of the Japanese Empire, Yoshino was not worried about his safety at all, not to mention that this was still in the Japanese concession, only a kilometer away from his office, he was the king here, what were he afraid of?
