At eleven o'clock on the 18th, after a busy day and a night in the listening station behind the lush rich cotton cloth store, Wen Guisheng finally gave up and said to Tanaka Shengei: "Tanaka-kun, I'm sorry, I'm just a shallow learner, and the specific content is really indecipherable. There is only one gain: these two words may be Zhou Chen and Shanghai Station, this is still due to the last contact between the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau and Shanghai Station, and was deciphered by General Yingzuo, and these two words were mentioned in the telegram, although this time it is not a set of passwords, but it seems to have been promoted. ”

Tanaka Katsuei was very frustrated: "Zhou Chen? Is it Zhou Chengbin and Chen Jinsong? Shanghai Station? It is normal for these two words to be mentioned in the telegram, and it can only prove that this telegram was sent by the headquarters of the Chongqing Bureau of the Military Command to the Shanghai station, and it is of little use......"

"Yes, there is too little information, if a few more messages can be intercepted, there may be hope."

Katsuei Tanaka asked, "Did the listening station find any other problems?" ”

"No, the one surnamed Yu went out. At present, there is only the one surnamed Tang in the cotton shop, and there are a few customers, and it is normal for them to be a qiē. Tanaka-kun, you should know all this. ”

Katsuei Tanaka just casually asked about what happened in the cotton shop, and he not only knew that every customer who entered the cotton shop had also sent someone to follow him, but so far, nothing has been found.

At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Su Wenfeng sent Yu Haochen out and asked in a low voice, "Is the small truck you brought our people?" Why didn't Lao Sun come? ”

Yu Haochen replied: "No, the car and the two porters were hired by me temporarily. Sun Dongsheng is not in Shanghai. ”

"Then I won't ask, Lao Sun told me about the latent discipline - hey, what are you doing here?" Yu Haochen took out a few banknotes and handed them to Su Wenfeng, but Su Wenfeng refused to accept them.

Yu Haochen said: "Hurry up and take it, what is the excuse?" What do you say to others? I buy scrap from you, of course, I have to pay, and there is no reason for you to pay for it, Shanghai Station has funds. I'm leaving, Lao Su, take care of yourself, in a few days, Sun Dongsheng will come back, he will look for you, I will reveal one thing to you in advance: Your official entry into the military command has been approved by the peak. ”

Su Wenfeng accepted the banknote, his heart was sour, Sun Dongsheng was his cousin, under torture, he was not allowed to betray his brother and his comrades-in-arms, he was just a walking corpse alive, and he would go to eighteen layers of hell if he died! He didn't dare to show his flaws, and replied calmly: "That's great, I'll wait for him to come to me." ”

Yu Haochen got into the car and sat in the co-pilot's seat, instructed the driver to stop on the way, unloaded the two large boxes of telecommunications accessories and other things he had selected in the car in a warehouse, and paid a week's storage fee. Later, he went to a garage, unloaded all the supplies, paid and sent the trucks and porters.

Yu Haochen had already figured out that the garage had the body of a van truck with all the machinery including the engine completely scrapped, and he and several workers from the garage discussed the scattered parts for more than an hour, and after repeatedly bargaining, and finalized the repair plan and price, he walked out of the repair shop and returned to the Maosheng Fengxin cotton shop.

Katsuei Tanaka stared at the telegram on the table and remained silent for more than an hour. Ding Linjie reported to Tanaka Katsuei: "Tanaka-kun, the surname Yu is back, I personally led the team to follow up, and I didn't find any suspicious circumstances." He entered the door with his front foot, and the man surnamed Don then went out. I've sent someone to follow me. ”

Katsuei Tanaka looked up and asked, "Then he left?" Was there any conversation between the two men? Call the people of the listening post to me. ”

Zheng Min, who was in charge of the monitoring, came up and reported: "The surname Yu only said one sentence: I came back a little late, didn't I delay anything?" Hurry up. Other than that, nothing more. ”

Katsuei Tanaka was at a loss, so he had to call Heiichiro Ono for instructions, and the secretary on duty said that the general had returned to the mansion for lunch, and Katsuei Tanaka called Heiichiro Ono's house. In the study, Heiichiro Ono replied: "I know, you continue to monitor, remember: no matter what the state is, you must not take it upon yourself to arrest." I'll be over in a moment. ”

Put down the phone, a burst of laughter came in, Ni Xin and Hezi came back, Ono Heiichiro couldn't help but laugh too, walked out of the study, and saw Ni Xin and Hezi walking into the living room with a big bag of things, Ni Xin seemed to have made a joke, and Hezi said unrelentingly: "No!" You make it clear, who's in a hurry to marry you? ”

Ni Xin smiled: "Okay, it's me who asks for three and four things...... Dad, why are you at home at this time? Have you eaten? I bought fried buns. ”

The cook happened to set the table, and Heiichiro Ono smiled: "Not yet, let's eat together." ”

Tsuruko replied, "I'll go back to my room and put my things in first." ”

Ono Heiichiro and Ni Xin sat at the dining table, and couldn't help chatting about work, Ni Xin, Ono Heiichiro didn't need to do anything to hide, first said the progress of Tanaka Katsuei, and then asked: "You were responsible for this matter before, you know the cause and effect best, what do you think?" ”

Ni Xin thought for a while and said, "Zhou Chen? Shanghai Station? Judging from the tone, this telegram should have been sent to Zhou Chengbin and Chen Jinsong by the headquarters of the Chongqing Military Command Bureau, but Zhou Chengbin was not in the cotton cloth store, why didn't these two people ask for instructions? Could it be that Zhou Chengbin made arrangements before leaving? No, the telegram came at about 11 o'clock last night, Zhou Chengbin and Chen Jinsong had already left the cotton shop before this, he shouldn't know the content of this telegram, so this telegram is not an instruction from the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau to the Shanghai station? Then, there is only one possibility: it is to inform the Shanghai station of relevant information. The cotton cloth shop is Zhou Chengbin's foothold, and the biggest task of the Shanghai station at present, and it can be said that the only task, is to transfer medicines, and this information should also be related to this content. ”

Heiichiro Ono replied while eating without knowing the taste: "What you said is reasonable, the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau is thousands of miles away, what information does the Shanghai Station not know, but the headquarters of the Bureau has it?" It was the Shanghai Station that raided the island and robbed the medicines, and it was also the Shanghai Station that was specifically responsible for transporting the medicines......"

Changed into a silver-white brocade phoenix Yu Fei dark pattern cheongsam, and the crane with light makeup walked to the table and sat down. Ni Xin said: "There are only two possibilities: one is that Chongqing sent someone to Shanghai to telegraph the code of the Shanghai station joint, this possibility is not very likely, with my understanding of Zhou Chengbin, if Chongqing needs reinforcements, it should have been started a long time ago, and it will not wait until now." Another possibility is ......"

Crane said dissatisfiedly: "Talking about work again? Didn't you say that you would take ten days off to accompany me? Ni Xin, does my dress look good? ”

Ni Xin said perfunctorily: "It looks good - the bureau headquarters has undercover agents in the hands of Shanghai Station that are not mastered, or operational personnel, in order to transfer medicines, these people are enabled, and they are telegraphed to Shanghai Station about their situation." ”

Heiichiro Ono shook his head and said: "No, Zhou Chengbin has been the stationmaster of Shanghai Station for almost two years, and during this period, he has made many moves with us and completed many important tasks, and the importance of many tasks is not under the transfer of drugs, what kind of people have not been used so far?" ”

Hezi was very dissatisfied, and he didn't dare to lose his temper in front of his father, so he interjected: "I don't eat minced meat, Ni Xin, where is the fried bun with vegetarian stuffing we bought?" ”

"Fried buns?" Ni Xin absentmindedly clipped a cloth dish placed in front of Hezi: "You are right, not to mention that the recipients of the telegram are not Zhou Chengbin and Chen Jinsong, but Tang and Yu, if there is really this undercover agent, Tang and Yu can both know and contact the undercover agent, and the status will not be important until Zhou Chengbin has been in office for almost two years, and he has not known about this person's existence, and it is only now that the ...... is activated."

The crane threw away the chopsticks and said with a crying voice: "I won't eat it!" Let's talk, I'm leaving! "Get up and walk outside.

Ni Xin reacted and snubbed his fiancée, and hurriedly caught up with Hezi: "I'm sorry, it's me who is wrong, I shouldn't talk about work during dinner...... What's new in your dress? It fits well and the color suits you well ......"

The crane shook Ni Xin away vigorously: "Don't touch me!" ”

Ono Heiichiro slapped the table and said angrily: "You are becoming more and more disagreeable, girls always have to be gentle, you are like this, you have lost all the people of the Ono family." Ni Xin, ignore her and let her go! If you're gone, don't come back. ”

Ni Xin smiled, forcibly pulled the crane and said, "Go, follow me—let's go." ”

Tsuruko was pulled into the bedroom. After more than half an hour, Heiichiro Ono said to his daughter: "Ask Ni Sang to come to see me." ”

After a while, Ni Xin came over and said, "Do you have something to look for me?" ”

Heiichiro Ono asked, "Is Tsuruko okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's just a temper of the eldest lady, all women are like this before they get married, they suffer from gains and losses, they are afraid of losing their previous favor in front of their father, and they are worried about whether their husbands will take themselves to heart in the future. Don't worry. ”

After listening to Ni Xin's analysis, Heiichiro Ono couldn't help but smile dumbly, shook his head, and said, "This kid, the crane is spoiled by me, you take care of it a little more." You can accompany me to the monitoring station. ”

Ni Xinwei hesitated and replied: "I promised Hezi to pick up the photos in the afternoon, and I would buy some things......

Since Heiichiro Ono handed over the call to Katsuei Tanaka, he was excluded from the operation, and then intervened to successfully capture Zhou Chengbin and Chen Jinsong, but once he missed, the situation would be very embarrassing. Li Shiqun's temper is well known to him, and the slightest carelessness will cause him to be dissatisfied and suspicious. Even if he and Ono Heiichiro became a family, it was a private matter, and he never thought of betraying Li Shiqun. At this time, it is only the right thing to do, but stay out of the matter, if you have time, to assist Li Shiqun to set up a post to investigate and trace the whereabouts of the drugs.

Heiichiro Ono was no longer reluctant and replied, "It's okay, you are busy with your business, let them prepare the car." ”

"I'll send you." Ni Xin suddenly remembered something and said: "I heard you just say that the telegram intercepted by Tanaka-kun has not been deciphered, when Ding Linjie and Meng Xiaojie came to Shanghai, they brought with them the notes left by Guo Xuan before his death. ”

A sentence reminded Heiichiro Ono, and he ordered the secretary: "You go to the headquarters and find the duty secretary left by General Kagesa, just say it's my words, and lend those notes...... By the way, let them send one or two telecommunications decipherers there, and Director Wen of No. 76 to participate in the decipherment, the location, set up with me, you can arrange it, the personnel involved in the decipherment do not have my orders, concentrate on closed work, cut off contact with the outside world, and are not allowed to go out. ”

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Heiichiro Ono came to the monitoring station, and Katsuei Tanaka greeted him and said: "General, the agent who followed the military commander surnamed Tang has sent back the news: the person surnamed Tang went to the Peace Wharf, and connected with a second officer on the ocean liner that drove from Dalian to transport military supplies, and is still continuing to follow him. ”

Heiichiro Ono suddenly understood: The secret telegram sent by the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau was probably to inform the second officer from Dalian of the situation and the connection method, and what was the intention of colluding with the second officer at the Shanghai Station?
