Liu Zezhi and Ni Xin went out to get in the car, Liu Zezhi said: "This old lady, she doesn't save face, first scolded me in front of me for being a bad person, and then went even further, and directly scolded the traitor lackey, I see that you are thick-skinned enough, and you can say goodbye with a smile, alas, I really can't hang up." ”

Ni Xin replied while driving: "Zezhi, we are our own people, let me tell you a word from the heart, to Ding Linjie, it's okay, although I coerced him, but everyone is an adult, and they are professional agents, and they choose what kind of path to take." For Mrs. Ding and Xiao Doudou, I really feel guilty, the family and the country are all over the world, it was originally our man's business, why should I involve women, children and young children? Sometimes I even want to...... Maybe it's because the road is too long, and I almost forget why I set out in the first place. ”

Liu Ze's heart moved, and he smiled and didn't speak.

At four o'clock in the afternoon of September 3, Li Shiqun ordered: "Zezhi, you book a private room, I will have a banquet for a few guests at six o'clock in the evening, a total of eight people, and we are still in the Jinjiang Hotel." Liu Zezhi agreed.

At half past five, Yamaki Ryuzo came first with two men, Liu Zeyi looked, one of them was Meng Xiaojie, Zhou Chengbin informed him of Meng Xiaojie's plan to go undercover, but Meng Xiaojie didn't know his identity. Liu Zezhi got up to greet him: "Shan Mujun, you came early, these two are ...... Let's introduce it. ”

Yamaki Ryuzo introduced: "Liu Zezhi, Director Li's secretary, Mr. Ding, Mr. Meng, and the guests invited by Director Li. ”

After the four of them finished greeting, Ni Xin's car stopped at the door, walked in, and smiled at Meng Xiaojie: "Mr. Ding, we are old acquaintances, this is Mr. Meng, right?" Fortunately. Lao Ding, are you okay on the road? Sister-in-law, when will they arrive? ”

There were several people at No. 76 present, Ding Linjie and Ni Xin were the most familiar, but for some reason, he was the most disgusted, he absconded without authorization, although he had Meng Xiaojie as a shield, he was still worried about whether Li Shiqun could understand, and he didn't dare to offend Ni Xin, so he laughed and said: "I don't know, or trouble Director Ni to inquire about the news of their mother and daughter for me." Director Ni ...... The female dog, you take care of you, thank you very much, are they okay? ”

Ni Xin replied meaningfully: "Don't dare to take care of it, just don't blame Mr. Ding." Now that Mr. Ding is here, my burden has finally been unloaded, and in the future, whether Ling Tang and Ling Lang are okay or not depends on Mr. Ding's approach. ”

Ding Linjie had no choice but to lower his posture and replied: "Ding has come to vote in a desperate way, in addition to hoping that Director Li can remember the old feelings and enjoy food, he also needs to take more care of everyone in power." Ding is a shallow learner, and there is nothing to repay, so he can only do his best to serve Director Li. ”

Ni Xin smiled: "It's serious." ”

Everyone chatted for a long time, but when Li Shiqun didn't come, Ni Xin looked at his watch and said to Liu Zezhi: "The appointed time is six o'clock, right?" It's been half an hour, is there something delayed by the director? Can you rush it? ”

Liu Zezhi replied indispensably: "You are in a hurry, and you don't know what to be busy with all day long?" Okay, I'll give you a call and ask...... Hirakawa-kun, why are you here: Director? ”

Pingchuan Xinye replied: "Director Li has an order: Director Ni and Secretary Liu will go back immediately, and the director also asked me to apologize to Mr. Ding and Mr. Meng. ”

Ni Xin and Liu Zezhi got up and said, "Then let's go back first, and then we will have a chance to get together again." ”

Walking out of the Jinjiang Hotel, Hirakawa Shinno said, "There were outsiders present just now, and it was inconvenient. Director Li ordered that a fire broke out in two shops at the back entrance of HSBC, and he felt that something was wrong, Secretary Liu had opened a private safe in HSBC, so let you go over as an individual to see if there was anything unusual in the vault? Captain Zhao is already on the scene, Director Ni, the director ordered you to go over and have a look. ”

Liu Zezhi said: "Lao Ni, let's go separately, the procedures for the safe are in the dormitory, I have to go back first, and then say this time, HSBC has long been closed, the director ordered me to go over and have a look in my private capacity, I think it's not the time for No. 76 to come forward, I still have to find a certificate from the city police station, in the name of performing emergency official duties, I can go in." Ni Xin is too smart, Liu Zezhi doesn't want him to have the opportunity to enter the treasury of HSBC so early, and in order not to be suspected in the future, he doesn't want to go to the fire scene with Ni Xin.

"Okay, I was going to go to the underground vault with you to see it, but now I have to forget it."

Ni Xin came to the scene and saw the backs of two fire trucks driving away, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt things. He found Zhao Jingdong and asked, "This is your temporary secret command center to monitor the entry and exit personnel of HSBC?" I heard that it was on fire, what happened? ”

Zhao Jingdong replied: "Next to the back wall of the HSBC street, there is a company's warehouse, which is filled with cotton, cloth, aging wires, short circuits, caused a fire, even a grocery store next to it, it looks very scary, you know that the surrounding area is densely populated, and just in time for the rush hour, the scene was chaotic, I was afraid of people with ulterior motives to make trouble, while reporting to Director Li and General Ono, while sending people to strictly inspect the vehicle, no suspicious situation was found, and there were no casualties. ”

Ni Xin always felt that this fire was unclear, he never believed in coincidence, thought about it and said: "I'll take a few people to take a look again, Zezhi will come later, he will go to the vault, you let him wait for me." ”

Ni Xin went, he didn't come back until more than ten o'clock, and just walked into the temporary headquarters, Liu Zezhi also came back, Ni Xin asked, "Why did you come back?" ”

"Alas, the British are too old-fashioned, and they asked for instructions from level to level, and it was not easy to approve me to go in, and it took so much effort that I found nothing. I knew it would be like this, the two houses where the private safes were located, far away from the vault where the gold bricks were kept. What's the matter with you, and you're just coming back? What did you find out that you didn't? ”

Ni Xin shook his head: "No, the surroundings have returned to calm." Lao Zhao, you are busy, let's go back and report to the director. ”

The next morning, Yamaki Ryuzo came to Li Shiqun: "Director Li, this is the information that Meng Xiaojie brought with him: Guo Xuan's four handwritings, and the old George's book. ”

Li Shiqun took it and flipped through it, and said, "You make a copy and give it to me, and give the original to General Yingzuo." Where did Ding Linjie's wife and daughter go? Look it up, I guess I'm at our border, right? Find a way to stumble the four of them, mother and daughter, don't let them come to Shanghai first, and wait for my orders. Go ahead and call Liu Zezhi in. ”

Liu Zezhi came in and waited, and Li Shiqun said, "Where are Ding Linjie and Meng Xiaojie?" ”

"According to your instructions, I didn't let them leave, and I didn't let Ding Linjie go home to visit my mother, after dinner yesterday, Shan Mujun took them back to the dormitory to rest, and now they should still be waiting for your order in the dormitory, right?"

"Go and bring them to me."

Liu Zezhi agreed to go out, and happened to meet Heiichiro Ono, followed by Zhao Jingdong, Liu Zezhi pulled the door and asked Heiichiro Ono to go in first, and then he left.

Seeing Ono Heiichiro coming uninvited, Li Shiqun hurriedly got up to greet him: "General, why are you here?" Please take a seat, Hirakawa-kun, and serve tea to the general. ”

Heiichiro Ono sat down on the sofa, handed over a copy of the text, and said, "Li Sang, look at this, this morning's transfer from the Nanjing Ministry of Finance was three days ago. ”

Li Shiqun took it and was also taken aback: "HSBC Shanghai Branch applied for closure? The deposit and withdrawal business is handled by other sub-branches, what is going on? ”

Heiichiro Ono replied: "HSBC has a total of 12 business premises in Shanghai, and the one that has applied for closure is the Shanghai branch, that is, the one with a vault. The office building, which is the private property of HSBC, will also be put up for sale. I always felt like there had to be something wrong with that. It is said that it is an application, but in fact, it is a report, as long as the procedures are complete, there is no reason not to approve. ”

Li Shiqun looked at it and asked: "Judging from the normal procedures, there is no problem, the general is right, I also think it's not that simple." Another fire broke out near the bank last night, which was too coincidental. I want to keep up with all the changes, no matter what they do, if they want to close down, they will follow the normal procedures, we will continue to inspect all vehicles and set up posts in the underpass. By the way, General, did General Kagezo tell you about Polaris' escape back to Shanghai? ”

Ono Heiichiro replied: "I heard about the North Star, this person should have absconded under the pretense of covering Meng Xiaojie, and left his post without permission in order to protect himself." He sees that you want to recruit more talent in the future, and he will not kill him. The vast majority of Chinese are garbage, only small wisdom without great wisdom, for their own interests, responsibilities can be left behind. I heard that Meng Xiaojie stole Guo Xuan's notes before his death, as well as Sir George's book? ”

Li Shiqun praised against his will: "The general is high." I have already ordered Yamamu-kun to hand over the information brought by Meng Xiaojie to General Yingzuo for screening. Meng Xiaojie, according to the rules, it takes a one-month screening period, as for Ding Linjie, he is finally his own person, and the screening can only be carried out in secret. I mean that the activities of the Shanghai station have been rampant recently, and there are their shadows in the major campuses and factories. Captain Zhao, how is the training of the operatives you recruited? ”

Zhao Jingdong got up and replied: "The training officially ended yesterday, and after the two-day holiday, you can be assigned to various action groups." ”

Li Shiqun ordered: "Don't rush to assign it first, let the leader of the team take his action group and Ding Linjie to be responsible for encircling and suppressing the peripheral organizations of these military commanders." ”

Ono Heiichiro nodded and said: "Yes, these peripheral organizations are not tight, and it should not be difficult to crack them, but the demagogic power is very strong, if the peripheral organizations of the military command are allowed to fully blossom in Shanghai, we will be very passive, we must take advantage of their unstable foothold, kill the killer, and make an example of a hundred, so as to ensure the peace of Shanghai." I'll take my leave first, Zhao Sang, you stay here and arrange a qiē according to Director Li's order, and then go back to the temporary headquarters. ”

Liu Zezhi took Meng Xiaojie and Ding Linjie to stand by in the secretary's room, and Li Shiqun personally sent Ono Heiichiro out of the house, saying: "Pingchuan-kun, send the general for me, this is Mr. Meng, right?" Yesterday I was riddled with official duties, and it was rude, Lao Ding, we haven't seen each other for a long time, please come in, let's talk. ”
