At 7 o'clock in the evening of 25 May, Li Shiqun's special car stopped at the gate of the Japanese headquarters, and Li Shiqun asked: "Zezhi, what do you want?" I didn't see you speak along the way. ”

Liu Zezhi said with a smile: "I have tried so many people, and it is the first time I have seen Chen Jinsong like this, which is really great in the world." ”

Li Shiqun was in a good mood and laughed: "How big of the world have you seen, and you dare to boast in front of me?" Ni Xin should also be in General Kagezo's office, right? ”

Liu Zeyi opened the car door while getting out of the car with a smile, and replied: "Director, your memory is really good, I heard Captain Tian say that Secretary Ni is waiting to report Mo Yanlin's matter to the general." ”

The office of the head of the secret service of the Japanese Songhu Occupation Army Headquarters is a three-room suite, in which is the secretary's room, on the left is the office of Kage Satsuaki, and on the right is a small reception room. Ni Xin, who had been waiting for several hours, sat in the reception room, boredly flipping through the newspapers of the day. A familiar figure flashed at the door, and Ni Xin couldn't help but be overjoyed, Xiao Yehezi, who had gone out on business, was back. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Ono Tsuruko to walk in and change a cup of hot tea for him. Ni Xin looked at her and smiled gently.

Ono Tsuruko didn't have any expression on his face, picked up the leftover tea that was already cold, and turned around to leave. Ni Xin was very strange, stood up and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" What's upset about it? After reporting to the general today, I'm done, let's avoid other people's eyes and ears and go to Suzhou for two days, okay? Where have you been? I've been here for so long and haven't seen you. ”

Ono Hezi sneered: "Don't dare to work Secretary Ni's driver, you are busy with business." ”

"Tsuruko—what's wrong with you?" Ni Xin is very strange, the crane has always been gentle as water, and he has never spoken to himself in this tone in his memory. He explained: "It's not that I want to do this, it's General Ono who said that the relationship between you and me is not humane, otherwise it will affect Director Li's trust in me, and it will not be conducive to the cooperation between the special agency of the headquarters and No. 76." I think that as the war changes, it won't be too long before our relationship becomes public. I have always felt sorry for hiding it from people like this, not only to you, but also to Director Li. ”

"Yes, your job, your home and country, your ideals, and your confidant...... Ni Xin, I can understand you, but I don't like you like this, I'm even more afraid, afraid that you will take advantage of your feelings...... You can treat Mo Yanlin now, one day, you can't ...... me"

Ni Xin was a little panicked, he hugged the crane into his arms, wiped away the tears on the face of the beloved woman, and coaxed softly: "Don't cry, I feel very messed up when you look like this." These are two completely different things, we are engaged...... Tsuruko, I don't think about you for a moment...... You don't know, Mo Yanlin's business...... I don't know how to explain it, I feel very dirty, Tsuruko, only with you do I feel like I've found my old self, you don't know how much I miss the time I used to have in Japan......

The crane's tears have been flowing non-stop, but they can't get together in love, but it's the end of the world, too much helplessness, too many ties...... Ni Xin exerted his strength slightly, lifted the jaw of the crane, and said in a low but firm voice: "Crane, believe me......"

The woman in her arms struggled twice and gave up. Leaning on Ni Xin's arms, greedily enjoying the warmth of this moment. I want to see each other but I can't go on a blind date all the time......

The guards at the door of the office, who had already received the order, opened the door of the reception room and asked Li Shiqun to come in and wait. The scene inside is impressive! Li Shiqun was stunned, and after a few seconds, Ni Xin woke up like a dream, he gently pushed away Xiaoye Hezi, smiled awkwardly, and didn't know what to say. Liu Zezhi seemed to be stupid, and it took a long time to come back to his senses and smile ambiguously at Ni Xin. Ni Xin, who had no master of the six gods, was ignorant and didn't care about him.

As if nothing had happened, Li Shiqun sat on the sofa, his face flushed Xiao Ye Crane was at a loss, Ni Xin said: "Crane-" I wanted to remind Xiao Ye Crane to make tea, but when the words came to my lips, I felt that it was inappropriate: I am also a guest here, what qualifications do I have to instruct Xiao Ye Crane?

At this time, Kagezo Zhenzhao returned, and the secretary came to invite Li Shiqun. After listening to Li Shiqun's report, Ying Zuozhen Zhao smiled and said: "Great, I didn't expect the military commander to have such a person who understands current affairs." The arrest of Guo Xuan will not only remove a piece of my heart, but General Ono will also be grateful to you. Director Li, fully agree to his conditions, this matter, please. I'm going to prepare a pardon and hand it over to Director Li for you to take back. Ying Zuo still has some trivial matters to take care of, so at ten o'clock tonight, go to No. 76 to meet this Chen Jinsong. ”

Li Shiqun said with a smile: "General Yingzuo is serious, this is Li's responsibility." General, I think Ryuzo Yamaki is still monitoring St. Mary's Church, and there is no relaxation there. No matter which channel you use to get through, as long as you catch Guo Xuan, it will be a great pleasure. And I am confident: after arresting Guo Xuan, Zhou Chengbin will definitely not be able to escape the net we have laid. ”

Kagesa Zhenzhao nodded yes, and called the secretary: "Tell Hirakawa Shinno-kun to come in." Director Li, one more thing, after the death of Hitokazu Miura, for the sake of our harmonious cooperation, Kagezo has been looking for a new Japanese confidential secretary for you. Hirakawa Shinno, General Ono's protégé, who had been serving in the General Staff Headquarters of the base camp, had just arrived in Shanghai from the Japanese mainland yesterday. ”

A young man in his thirties, with a flat haircut, a small stature, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, walked in, bowed to Li Shiqun, and said in fluent Chinese: "Director Li, my subordinate Pingchuan Xinye, please give me more advice." ”

Li Shiqun said with a smile: "General, Li really wants to borrow Pingchuanjun, but I already have two secretaries." As...... Please take up other positions in Hirakawa-kun, you see that the Japanese gendarmerie stationed at No. 76 is still missing a captain......"

Kagezo Zhenzhao smiled: "Kagezo has a Jianyì: Ni Sang served as the No. 76 intelligence director, and Asano Kazuken was promoted from deputy captain to captain. Do you think that's appropriate? ”

said that it was built yì, but in fact, it was an out-and-out order, and Li Shiqun dared not to obey? His heart was like knocking over a five-flavor bottle, and he didn't know what it tasted like. At this time, Ni Xin officially served as the director of the No. 76 Intelligence Division...... Alas, Ni Xin, his brother, has such a close relationship with Ono Tsuruko, no wonder Ono Heiichiro has always looked at Ni Xin differently! Many questions that I couldn't figure out before have suddenly become clear. Is there anyone else in this world who can be trusted? How much is Ni Xin hiding from himself?

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao waited for Li Shiqun's answer with a smile, and Li Shiqun had no choice but to smile and say, "The general's Jianyi, I went with me, so you bothered." Hirakawa-kun, from today onwards, you have been wronged and submitted to my confidential secretary. ”

Hirakawa Shinno bowed again: "Hirakawa must go all out and be loyal to his life, but Director Li's orders are obeyed." Please don't give up your foolishness, and teach me a lesson. ”

Li Shiqun said with a smile: "It's easy to say, borrow more in the future." General, I will take my leave first, and wait for the general to arrive on the 76th, and start the interrogation of Chen Jinsong together. ”

Kagezo Zhenzhao nodded and said, "Okay." I heard about Mo Yanlin, and the lack of supervision for a while gave her the opportunity to commit suicide. This is also inevitable, and there is no need to pursue accountability. Director Li, you can also bring Ni Sang back, and let him do his best to hand over the work to Pingchuanjun. Someone, call Ni Sang over. "The combination of grace and power is the way to control, and Ying Zuo Zhenzhao, who is in a good mood, is not ready to pursue Mo Yanlin's affairs, although he knows that there must be something wrong with this. But the person is dead, and the information has been squeezed out, so what's the good of saying more? What's more, Li Shiqun accepted the secretary he arranged and prepared to work together to arrest Guo Xuan, which was enough.

Ni Xin walked into the office, and after Ying Zuo finished instructing, Ni Xin responded respectfully, glanced at Li Shiqun, and didn't dare to talk.

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao is so tolerant, it shouldn't be because he values himself, but because he connived at Ni Xin, right? Li Shiqun was extremely unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't show it in front of the Japanese master, so as not to be suspected of ignorance. I had to smile and say: "The general's understanding and magnanimity to his subordinates, Li Mouming feels it." ”

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao didn't know Li Shiqun's thoughts, and said politely: "Director Li is too polite, there is a cooperative relationship between us, and No. 76 is not under the jurisdiction of Ying Zuo." You don't dare to say that. ”

In the car, because Hirakawa Shinno was present, Ni Xin did not find a suitable opportunity to explain. Back at No. 76, Li Shiqun ordered: "Zezhi, you take Pingchuan-jun to the dormitory to arrange it first, and the specific work handover will be talked about tomorrow, and there is no hurry at this time." ”

Liu Zezhi agreed and took Hirakawa Shinno away. Ni Xin fidgeted outside, and after thinking about it, he still didn't dare to pretend that nothing had happened, so he mustered up the courage to knock on the door of the inner office. There was no response for a long time, so Ni Xin had no choice but to knock on the door again, raised his voice slightly and said, "Subordinate Ni Xin, I need to ask the director for instructions if I have something." ”

Li Shiqun's cold voice came from the middle of the ring: "Come in." Tell me something. ”

Ni Xin said with a smile: "There is nothing urgent...... Director, Subordinate...... I would like to explain to you...... That's what, subordinate, five years ago in Japan, by chance, I met ......"

"Secretary Ni!" Li Shiqun interrupted Ni Xin: "I'm not interested in your private life. If you don't have business, you can go out. ”

Ni Xin pleaded, "Director-"

Li Shiqun waved his hand and ordered Ni Xin to go out, but Ni Xin did not dare to disobey and left. After thinking about it, I came to Liu Zezhi. As soon as he went out, Liu Zezhi had already returned, and when he saw Ni Xin, he smiled and said: "You guy, you are really capable, take another one!" Or General Ono's daughter. Hey, you're telling me the truth: how much more do I not know? Supposedly, you're not as handsome as I am, it's really ......."

Ni Xin couldn't cry or laugh: "Don't say this at the door, you listen to me...... Captain Tian, are you here to find the director? ”

Tian Chengxi nodded and said, "Yes, Director Li personally called me and asked me to come." What do you say? Secretary Ni, what did General Yingzuo say about Mo Yanlin? ”

Liu Zezhi smiled and was about to speak, but Ni Xin hurriedly said, "I have done everything about Mo Yanlin." The director is waiting for that, you can get in quickly. Zezhi - Let's go over there and talk. ”
