After the dinner, it was nearly midnight, and Guo Xuan was about to be trapped, Li Shiqun did not dare to be careless, and decided to go back to No. 76 to listen to the report. At the gate, the two team leaders of the intelligence department were about to drive out with people, and when they saw Li Shiqun, they hurriedly came over to salute and greet: "Director Li, you are back." ”

Li Shiqun frowned, he did not assign tasks to Ni Xin in this operation, but only transferred most of the operations personnel of the intelligence department and handed them over to Tian Chengxi and Yamamu Longsan and others to command, and the rest should stay at No. 76, what are they doing?

Liu Zezhi saw Li Shiqun's doubts, and came forward to ask: "The director ordered people who have no tasks to stay, what are you taking people for?" ”

"Director Ni ordered us to take people to the designated place for monitoring."

Liu Zezhi asked, "Where ......?"

Li Shiqun interrupted Liu Zezhi's questioning and directly denied Ni Xin's order: "Ridiculous, who let him call the shots?" The boldness is getting bigger! It's too unusual, let him come to me. ”

The two team leaders exchanged glances and replied embarrassedly, "Our Director Ni is not here...... He had just gone out with two people, and he didn't leave a word to say where he went......"

Liu Zezhi looked at Li Shiqun and waited for the order, and Li Shiqun said in his heart that Ni Xin wanted to go to the Japanese army headquarters. Disobeyed the order and privately sent people to monitor, it must be because they were excluded from the operation, after Guo Xuan and others were captured. I am afraid that I will not be able to compete for merit, and I am dissatisfied. Hum! After the matter was clarified, this bastard not only didn't know how to restrain himself, but became more and more unscrupulous, and he didn't take himself seriously! The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more disheartened he became. Originally, I was still thinking about brotherhood, and I couldn't bear to do it. Alas, when did you become so kind to yourself? This is one of the big taboos of being an agent. He hated it: if you have your hands free, you must find a crime that it is inconvenient for the Japanese to openly shelter, and clean up this thing that eats inside and out! The mysterious undercover agent of No. 76 has not been able to find out, if this time it is still unsuccessful, let him top the tank.

After making up his mind, Li Shiqun calmed down and said quietly: "Director Ni may not have received an order, so you should stay in the unit." If you can contact Director Ni, ask him to come and see me. ”

Back in the office, Director Wen Guisheng of the Telecommunications Department came: "Director Li, General Ying Zuo has sent a copy of "The Programming and Deciphering of Light Secrets" written by Sir George. The general's secretary said let me see if there was anything wrong with it. ”

Sir George promised Ying Zuo to give him his money, and Li Shiqun has been a little worried about whether No. 76 will be able to get a piece of the pie. I thought that I would wait to catch Guo Xuan and then negotiate with Ying Zuo, but I didn't expect to take the initiative to send it. See if there's a problem with it? What's going on here? Don't...... Helplessly, Li Shiqun is an out-and-out layman when it comes to telecommunications technology. can only ask: "So the general suspects that old George is not sincere, maybe he will do something?" Do you see anything? ”

"Director Gao Ming. I think that General Kagezo had this concern, so he sent someone to show it to his subordinates. It's a pity that this is not something that will be seen for a while. The subordinates were worried that if they misled the general, they would track it down afterwards......"

Wen Guisheng is a timid and cautious person, a calm and gentle person, and a proficient in telecommunications technology, and is a competent director of telecommunications, but he is only competent, not very outstanding. Li Shiqun said in his heart that if he caught Guo Xuan this time, if he could let this person be used for himself, wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings? He smiled and replied, "Then you just look at it first, don't be in a hurry to answer." Technical matters, there is no hurry. I think - General Kagezo must have looked for someone to see it, and he didn't see anything wrong, at most he was just a little suspicious, so I asked you to help check it. The highest level of professionalism in the Office of Telecommunications is Zhang Keqing, right? You ask him to take a look. Then there are several other team leaders of the telecommunications department, you can also take a look and brainstorm ideas. ”

Wen Guisheng's original intention was to report, so as not to take responsibility in the future, and the goal has been achieved, so he will not say more. Ying Zuo was a student of Old George, and he couldn't tell the truth for a while, and Wen Guisheng didn't think he had this ability, so he had to wait for it to be tested in actual use. But since the peak is called research, the surface article still needs to be done enough. He ordered his secretary to call in a few team leaders.

Back in the office, before Li Shiqun instructed Liu Zezhi to contact Tian Chengxi, Yamaki Ryuzo and others, Pingchuan Xinye's phone called first: "Director Li, Chen Jinsong has a movement here, Guo Xuan sent someone to contact him and asked him to go to a dead mailbox to pick up something and send it to Sir George of St. Mary's Church." Chen Jinsong took the initiative to report to me, what do you think should be done? ”

Li Shiqun sighed, do you still need to ask? Is this new Hirakawa Shinno too cautious? Or is it incompetent? He replied: "Of course, let Chen Jinsong quietly go to get information, and then send it to St. Mary's Church." Remember: you must do the same as usual, there must be no abnormality, if Guo Xuan's suspicion is aroused, the fish that is about to be hooked runs away, I will definitely deal with the relevant responsible personnel seriously, understand? You can copy a copy of the information that Chen Jinsong took and hand it over to me in the shortest possible time. Also, he sent someone to follow Chen Jinsong throughout the process. ”

Putting down the phone, Li Shiqun was still not at ease, and personally contacted Yamaki Ryuzo to inform him that Chen Jinsong would go to St. Mary's Church and hand over the text that Guo Xuan had put in the dead mailbox to Sir George, and instructed Yamaki Ryuzo to monitor Sir George's words and deeds and listen to orders. I called again and asked Tian Chengxi and Yamaki Ryuzo about the situation there.

Liu Zezhi persuaded: "Director, it's past two o'clock, you can rest for a while." ”

"It's okay, don't go back to the dormitory, wake me up at any time if there is a situation."

At five o'clock in the morning of the 28th, Hirakawa Shinno sent someone to deliver a copy of Guo Xuan's letter to Sir George. Outside the office, Liu Zezhi slept on the sofa and was on call at any time. Li Shiqun's bodyguard named Li Xuehui woke him up, Liu Zezhi took the envelope, found that the envelope was not sealed according to the convention, and pressed the handprint of the handler, his heart moved, but he pretended to be displeased and said: "Who sent this?" Just sloppily sealed with staples? There is no common sense at all. ”

Li Xuehui replied: "It was the new secretary of Pingchuan who sent a Japanese, the one who delivered the letter...... I couldn't remember his name for a while, it seemed to be ...... I can't really remember it, but it's definitely someone from the Japanese gendarmerie, so it shouldn't be a problem. ”

Liu Zezhi yawned and said, "Really? Why do I think the time is not right, it seems that I was delayed on the way...... Japanese, that doesn't mean ...... And Secretary Hirakawa and Asano-kun are together, according to unwritten rules, such a text should be sent by one of them in person, and by the way, he will accept the director's order as soon as possible. Forget it, maybe I'm too careful, maybe they also have a shift break at this time. I didn't read the letter anyway, and you can testify to it; You didn't look, I can testify. I'm going to wake up the director. He had already communicated with Zhou Chengbin about the content of the letter, and at this time, he naturally avoided suspicion.

Li Xuehui said in his heart that Director Li's two secretaries, Ni Xin is too serious, if he encounters the situation just now, he will definitely investigate it to the end; Liu Zezhi is too sloppy, as long as he picks himself out, he doesn't care about other things.

Li Shiqun, who had been asleep for less than three hours, wiped his face with cold water, read the contents of the secret letter, pondered for a moment, and ordered: "Inform Captain Tian to rush back immediately." Also, call General Kagezo to see where the general is, and say that I have an urgent matter and want to meet the general. ”

Liu Zezhi looked at his watch and asked, "Now?" It was only past five o'clock in the morning......" Seeing that Li Shiqun was still pondering, he ignored him, and hurriedly said: "My subordinates will do it." ”

Tian Chengxi hurried back, and Li Shiqun handed him the text sent by Pingchuan Xinye: "Look at it." Zezhi, go to the door and keep guard, General Kagezo is here, please come in immediately. ”

Tian Chengxi looked at it carefully and replied: "Although I really want to get Old George's 'unique secrets', Guo Xuan is still very cautious as always, and the place where he and Sir George will meet is at the dock where the Queen Victoria departs, at half past eight tomorrow morning?" It is only half an hour before the passenger ferry leaves Shanghai. However, he never expected that not only did George Sr. agree to cooperate with us, but his assistant Chen Jinsong also took refuge in us. Director Li, Guo Xuan is hard to fly! ”

Li Shiqun smiled indifferently and said, "What else do you see from this information?" ”

Tian Chengxi picked up the information again: "...... Meet at the No. 3 engine of the Queen Victoria passenger liner...... Eight thirty? Director Li, after learning that the old George father and son left Shanghai to take the Queen Victoria passenger ship, his subordinates did an investigation: the entrance of the No. 3 cabin is the place where first-class passengers board. That place is not the ideal location for the joint...... And only half an hour in advance, the passengers who should arrive should be there, old George and Guo Xuan meet, too conspicuous, right? If something happens, it's not convenient to run away...... Guo Xuan is not a bold person, does he have something to rely on? ”

Li Shiqun smiled and replied: "Of course he has something to rely on, and his reliance is my long-standing heart disease." Chengxi, you are my right and left hand, and I will not hide anything from you. In this operation, catching Guo Xuan is just one of the goals, I want to kill two birds with one stone! ”

Tian Chengxi replied: "Thank you for the trust of the director. Killing two birds with one stone - catching Guo Xuan, what could be more important than this? ”

"Of course that damn undercover agent! Cheng Cheng, what do you think is the scope of Chen Jinsong's cooperation with us, how big is the scope of the No. 76 insider?
