Ni Xin walked out of Li Shiqun's office and said: "Secretary Liu, I remember something: my gun and car keys have been confiscated by the General Affairs Office, and I can only comprehend it after 24 hours according to the rules. Come with me, right? ”

Liu Zezhi put down the pen in his hand, got up and replied: "I don't have time, I have to accompany you Director Ni, what do you say I want?" Performing official duties and offending the suspect. If I don't be more diligent, you still have to take revenge for personal gain? ”

Ni Xin smiled and said, "I didn't say anything about you, I didn't urge you, there was no need to be in such a hurry, alas, don't say it, let's go." ”

After completing the formalities at the administrative department located at the gate on the first floor, Ni Xin received something, Liu Zezhi lit a cigarette and said to Ni Xin: "Give you one, let's go to the door to breathe." ”

Ni Xin looked at his watch, nodded in agreement, the two walked out of the door, Liu Zezhi sighed: "Didn't you see it, before you came, Tanaka Shengei sat in our room waiting for Director Li, his face was cold and terrible, you said he wouldn't retaliate against me, right?" ”

"Wouldn't it? Didn't you do anything to him? Besides, you're on official duty, he won't even understand this truth, right? You think too much, there is a director, what are you afraid of? ”

Tanaka Shengrong and Zhao Jingdong led the group out of the gate one after another, got into the car in the parking lot, and Liu Zezhiqi said: "What does this Tanaka Shengrong want to do?" How is Lao Zhao with him? Where do so many people go? ”

"Here we go again, and the whole world asks about things that shouldn't be asked. Come on, I'm leaving. ”

Liu Zezhi said that Li Shiqun did not ask himself about the screening of the traitor as usual, thinking that there were more important things to deal with. In order to transport medicines, the Shanghai station went all out, sacrificing almost all the contact points, and it is impossible to have any major actions at the moment. So will the Japanese take the initiative to attack? For more than half a year, the focus of the work of the Special Economic Work Office in charge of Heiichiro Ono has been in the concession. Could it be that there will be a big change in the shape of the concession? Need to borrow No. 76, Ono Heiichiro and Li Shiqun reached a settlement?

Counting Zhou Chengbin, he should be able to rush back to Shanghai after the 8th of this month, where is Chen Jinsong now? Can Li Shiqun really let go of Katsuei Tanaka?

In the following days, Ni Xin rarely appeared, but Zhao Jingdong, who was seconded to Heiichiro Ono, also appeared at No. 76 from time to time. In the name of checking drugs, Asano led people to set up more than a dozen temporary checkpoints around the public concession.

At five o'clock in the morning on December 7, Ni Xin came to the dormitory to find Liu Zezhi: "Zezhi, the director told you to help me do something, give me a trip, by the way, bring a weapon." ”

Liu Zezhi yawned and replied, "Early in the morning, I can't sleep because of the noise, you wait." ”

After washing, Liu Zezhi followed Ni Xinlai to bring a two-story hotel two kilometers away from the British Consulate, Liu Zezhi looked around, did not speak, in the farthest room on the second floor, Liu Zezhi said: "Is this already for you to wrap down?" What are you doing with such a stirring up of teachers? ”

Ni Xin smiled: "Yes, I have chartered this hotel, but how do you know?" ”

"Isn't that easy? When the people at the front desk saw the two of us, they didn't ask, and then I looked at the wooden boards of the keys to each room hanging on the wall in front of the front desk, and there were people in each room, no matter how good the business was, it was unlikely. ”

"I'll just say you're the smartest person in 76." Ni Xin personally brought a cup of tea: "Drink tea." Zezhi, there is something I would like to inform you: "Zezhi, I will arrest the British Consulate in the early hours of tomorrow morning." ”

Liu Zezhi was really taken aback and asked, "Attack the British?" Won't get in trouble, right? Europe and the United States and the Great Japanese Empire have been negotiating these days, isn't it said that there is progress? No, you have people under you, and you don't need to ask me for help if you attack the British? "What should I do about the arrest of the people of the British Consulate in Shanghai? Is Zhou Chengbin back? How can I get in touch with him?

Ni Xin replied: "Don't worry, how can I do it?" General Ono secretly ordered: Tomorrow the concession will be abolished, and the good days of Britain and the United States in Shanghai will come to an end. I asked you for help, so naturally I have a reason. ”

"What's the truth?"

"Zeyuki, although General Ono came forward to take on the role, do you think Katsuei Tanaka will let go of his knot and cooperate sincerely with No. 76 from now on?"

Liu Zezhi nodded and replied: "Of course it can't be, this time Director Li clearly wants to bring him down again, last time he almost died in the hands of No. 76, and the grudge he formed twice, how could he have such a big belly and let it go gently?" I see, you're trying to strike first...... What do I need to do? ”

Ni Xin said his plan, and said, "Who do you like with the people under my hands?" Speak, and I will send him to you. Liu Zezhi replied: "Anyone can do it, you can do it." Your plan...... It's doable, it's doable, but it's a good thing that you never think about me, in case you miss...... General Ono will definitely kill me, and then ......"

Ni Xin soothed: "Isn't this all for No. 76, don't worry, I've arranged it, and it's mine if something happens." Here you go, the clothes are ready for you. ”

Liu Zezhi wanted to say something, Quan Kanhu knocked on the door twice, pushed the door in, his face was full of joy, and he said excitedly: "Director Ni, Secretary Liu is also there?" Fight on Pearl Harbor! The Imperial Japanese Army raided Pearl Harbor, and the US Navy suffered heavy losses! ”

Ni Xin was taken aback, Pearl Harbor in Hawaii? Got into a fight with the Americans? He secretly said in his heart that the United States was strong and strong, and Japan provoked him, even if he won a temporary victory and took advantage of it, from then on strong enemies surrounded him and fought on both sides, and he thought that the course of the war would be even more tragic in the future.

Liu Zezhi had discussed with Zhou Chengbin the issue of the United States entering the war, and he was quite excited, and replied: "Is it? Great, I'll just say, just open up and take Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, and then the problem of lack of oil, rubber and other strategic materials will be solved. Director Ni, Lao Quan is here, you ...... him"

Ni Xin interrupted Liu Zezhi's words: "It's fighting and peace, it's not what we little people should care about." Lao Quan, you go and call Zhang Shengyu to me. "Kwon Kan is not only Japanese, but also a retainer of the Ono family, and he can't use him if he calculates Ono Heiichiro's subordinates. Liu Zezhi didn't know, and of course Ni Xin wouldn't explain, so he just said: "I have other arrangements for Lao Quan, I will send Zhang Shengyu to you." ”

Liu Zezhi replied indispensably: "Okay, then Zhang Shengyu." Old Ni, I said that, why did the general order the arrest of the British consulate in Shanghai at this time, it turned out that he was fighting with the Americans...... It seems that the Great Japanese Empire and Europe and the United States will soon declare war. ”

"yes, and I expect China and Japan to declare war on that as well. It can't be done yet, but the checkpoint set up by Asano-kun has already surrounded the concession, and just waiting for an order, General Ono has been preparing for this day for a long time. ”

Liu Zezhi smiled, got up and took out his gun, and said while inspecting: "China and Japan should have declared war a long time ago, they have been fighting for so long. In the past, the Yankees were both taboo with each other, fearing that if war was declared, the Americans would impose an embargo on any country in a state of war, but now the Yankees themselves are involved. Liu Zezhi said in his heart, hoping that China, which had been fighting alone for several years in the arduous War of Resistance, could receive more assistance from Europe and the United States to change the situation of the war.

Zhang Shengyu walked into the room, and Ni Xin explained: "From now on, you are under the command of Secretary Liu." ”

Zhang Shengyu, who didn't know what was going on, nodded again and again, and replied: "Please rest assured, Director Ni, his subordinates will definitely do their best to assist Secretary Liu." ”

Ni Xin looked at his watch and said, "It's almost time, Zezhi, please." ”

Liu Zezhi walked out of the hotel with Zhang Shengyu, found a public phone, and called Pingchuan Xinye: "Pingchuan-kun, please have something to ask you, I won't go this morning, I have some personal matters." Director Li asked, you speak for me, I will take a day off. ”

At eight o'clock in the morning, at Heiichiro Ono's Special Economic Office, Katsuei Tanaka, who had just gone to work, asked, "Captain Zhao, have you heard about Pearl Harbor?" Finally, it's our turn to show what we're up to. What's the situation? ”

Zhao Jingdong, who had received Li Shiqun's order in advance, replied: "As soon as the fight started, the reaction in Shanghai was not so fast. However, two hours ago, the checkpoint in charge of monitoring the British consulate in Shanghai reported that there was a mess inside, and Edwards and others were burning Wen Jiàn and sorting out their luggage. Moreover, several wealthy British businessmen in Shanghai also went to the consulate one after another, and I don't know whether they took the initiative to go after receiving the news, or whether the consulate informed them to go. ”

Katsuei Tanaka was well aware of the grievances between Heiichiro Ono and others and the British Consulate, and scolded angrily: "These damn Brits, now they know that they are afraid? It's late! Since you dare to collude with the military commanders, transfer the gold bricks, and dare to communicate with Mao Renfeng, this time it will be up to General Ono to clean them up! ”

He Qixin came in quietly and glanced at Zhao Jingdong, Zhao Jingdong smiled and said: "Tanaka-kun is right, just wait for General Ono to give an order, and you can settle the account with these British." Tanaka-kun, this is the inspection report that has just been reported from various checkpoints. As he spoke, he handed over a few reports and accosted, "I'll go out and have a look." ”

Walking out of the office, He Qixin said in a low voice: "Captain Zhao, monitor the checkpoint report of the British Consulate: where Liu Zezhi suddenly appeared, and he went in disguise and private. ”

Zhao Jingdong pretended to be taken aback and asked, "Disguised as private?" How can you be so sure? ”

He Qixin, who didn't know about it, replied: "The person in charge of that checkpoint is Zheng Min, and the two gendarmes under him checked the certificate presented by Secretary Liu, and now I don't know if this document is true or false, but the name is definitely not Liu Zezhi." Zheng Min was not at the scene at the time, Liu Zezhi checked it, walked out of ten meters, and bumped into Zheng Min head-on, Zheng Min felt that this person was very familiar, carefully looked at his back, and suspected that he was Secretary Liu. ”

Zhao Jingdong replied: "Secretary Liu went there to carry out the mission, can't it?" It's normal that there is no ventilation between the two groups of people who are on the mission at the same time. ”

Zhao Jingdong was quite protective of Liu Zezhi inside and outside of his words, He Qixin knew that the two of them had a deep personal relationship, but there were some things he couldn't help but say in front. "Originally, Zheng Min thought the same way, ten minutes later, Lao Qian came to change shifts, Zheng Min told him about it, Lao Qian called Secretary Liu, wanted to verify, didn't dare to ask directly, made an excuse, Pingchuan Jun said that Secretary Liu had a personal matter to do, and asked for a day off."

Zhao Jingdong lowered his head and thought about it, and said, "I know, don't sue others about this matter first." ”
