The rain turned the sky of Shanghai gloomy, and the delicate little flower umbrellas disappeared, replaced by all kinds of black umbrellas, and the red lights on both sides exuded charming luxury early. Tension was in the air in the concession, the streets were not safe places, pedestrians hurried to their homes, four shootouts broke out in a week, rivers of blood flowed on the streets, and the headquarters of the military commander's secret service suffered heavy losses.

Osawa held an umbrella through the crowd in the wind and rain, his gray trench coat was wet by the drizzle flying obliquely, his steps stopped calmly in front of a shop window, carefully looked at the beautiful skirt in the window, but his eyes were reflected behind him, after a while, he pushed open the door of the store and entered the store.

"Welcome, sir, what kind of suit would you like to make?" The clerk greeted him very politely and asked.

Osawa smiled faintly and asked casually, "I heard that the suit here is well done, can you let me see the sample?" ”

"Of course, please go this way."

The clerk led Osawa to a finished suit, and Osawa looked at the suit with great attention, with a thin and dense needle and thread, and three copper buckles nailed to the cuffs. Daze watched and paid attention to the people who came in at the door, he was quickly relieved, so far, no one has come in, it seems that Luo Wending's suspicion is suspicious.

Out of the suit shop, Daze still carefully went around in a circle, and then went to Luo Wending's coffee shop.

In the Chongguang Hall, Shadow Zuo Zhenzhao stood in front of the window and silently listened to the faint singing outside the window, the three-month internal annihilation excavation operation did not yield the slightest result, and the five suspects were very quiet and did not have any flaws. As the time for the attack on Wuhan drew nearer, Nanjing's urging became more and more impatient.

"How?" Hearing the footsteps behind him, Kagesa Zhenzhao didn't look back, and at this time there was only one person who could walk into his office - Kawaku Kogoro.

"Three people are out." Kawaku Kogoro's tone was a little disappointed, Kageza Zhenzhao did not answer, and in the face of Nanjing's urging, he quietly designed a counter-plan - Operation Falling Flowers.

According to this plan, the action of the Eleventh Army is the main direction of attack, the north of the Yangtze River is a feint, the Xuzhou Attack Group and the Bengbu Attack Group will attack Shangqiu, and the troops of the two divisions will attack the Dabie Mountain area to attract troops along the Yangtze River in the Fifth Theater; In this case, the 11th Army attacked along the Yangtze River with the strength of a division and with the cooperation of the navy, but the main force went south to Nanchang along the Nanxun line, and then took Changsha in the west, took the old road of the Northern Expedition, and surrounded the defenders of Wuhan with the Jiangbei Army.

In order to let this document fall into the hands of the internal annihilation, Ying Zuo Zhenzhao spent a lot of effort. The bait was released, and if the two men didn't move for another two days, their suspicions could be cleared.

"Is anyone following?" Kagesa Zhenzhao turned around and asked.

"No," Kawaku Kogoro replied calmly, and then said with some dissatisfaction: "Your Excellency, you should still send someone to follow, at least you can know who they are contacting, and besides, it is still impossible to determine that there are three people who are going out now." ”

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao waved his hand and smiled: "No, they are all professionally trained agents, and it is easy to find out when they are tracked, and it is not beautiful to startle the snake." This game is getting more and more interesting, in fact, even if it is clear who it is, there is no need to arrest it immediately, you can use them to crack the Shanghai organization of the military command and the central command, Hejiujun, don't worry, there is still a long time. ”

"Why, can't the capture of Wuhan end the war?" Kawaku Kogoro is very keen, and immediately perceives the true thoughts in Kagesa Zhenzhao's heart.

"Do you still believe the judgment of those self-righteous guys in the military department," Kagesa Zhenzhao's tone was full of mockery: "The people of China are not fools, there is still a vast area in the southwest, why is General China rectifying the economy and developing industry in Sichuan?" Once the imperial army approaches Wuhan, the people of China can completely abandon Wuhan, retreat to the southwest, and continue the war, so it is still us who can really decide when this war can stop, or see if there will be a division within China, Ha Jiujun, we shoulder the future of the empire. ”

Kagesa Zhenzhao accentuated his tone on the word us, and immediately set off Kawaku's sense of mission, which quickly disappeared, and he was deeply embarrassed to think of the large number of uncertain surnames among them.

"Those three went out?" Kagesa asked again.

"Yuya Shote, Shigoro Osawa, Shoichi Itamoto."

"Is there anything suspicious in the file?" Although I said it just now, Ying Zuo Zhenzhao still wants to find out this internal annihilation as soon as possible, and the defeat of Yucheng in Xuzhou may not be related to this person.

"Nope." Kawaku Kogoro shook his head with some regret, Zhenjie Yuya was only transferred from the Manchurian Railway to Chongguangtang in November last year, in charge of intelligence analysis, and had access to all secret information, including the intelligence of Li Shiqun's agent headquarters, and he was also responsible for liaising with the Shanghai branch of the Manchurian Railway; Although Daze is a Korean, he is one of the veterans of the Shanghai secret service organization, and in his early years, he made outstanding contributions to the empire in the Manchurian Railway and Nanyang, if it were not for the Korean identity, I am afraid that he would have been a high-ranking official long ago; Itamoto Shoichi was transferred from China last year, and he also served in the Manchurian Railway and North Korea, and was a liaison officer in charge of liaison with Nanjing before the incident.

The files of the three people are very clear, they are also very innocent, and they are all meritorious, among these three people, Kawaku Kogoro believes in Osawa the most, Osawa has performed well in the intelligence of Britain and the United States, and his family is very friendly to the empire in Korea, if he is a spy, he will inevitably implicate the family in Korea, he will not be so stupid.

"What about the other two?" Kagezo Zhenzhao was silent for a while, and then asked.

"They didn't go out." The implication of Kawahisa Kogoro is that the suspicions of these two people can be ruled out. Unexpectedly, Ying Zuo Zhenzhao shook his head: "Don't be so eager to draw conclusions, we made a mistake at that time, we shouldn't be in such a hurry to change their jobs, as an experienced spy, we will definitely suspect it, which is also the fundamental reason why we have nothing during this time." ”

Kawaku Kogoro understands that Kagesa Zhenzhao's suspicions are justified, the secret world is against common sense, and everyone must be cautious, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will be doomed immediately.

The secret world is also a suspicious world, once it is suspected, it is difficult to prove innocence, just like this, whether you go out or not, you can find a reason for suspicion, if you want to refute it, then the suspicion is even deeper, which is also the reason why Kage Satsuaki is not worried about whether he can dig up that spy.

"Zhongxi Gong is already complaining that the information we provide is inaccurate, you can see if it is explained." Kawahisa said that Nakanishi Gong was an intelligence analysis expert at the Manchurian Railway Office in Shanghai, who was in charge of a report on the assessment of the anti-Japanese forces in China, and he had a close relationship with Hidemi Ozaki, an adviser and secretary to former Prime Minister Fumihiro Konoe, and this project also had the meaning of Konoe, so he did not dare to ignore his complaints.

"Ignore him," Ying Zuozhen Zhao said coldly, and suddenly a thought came to mind: "Do you say that this Zhongxi Gong understands Gao Zongwu's situation?" ”

"It's entirely possible that Zhenjie leaked it to him," Kawaku Kogoro was stunned for a moment, and then said to himself, but immediately reversed this judgment, Zhenjie is a trained agent, and it is impossible for him to leak information to Nakanishi, unless they are in a group, but how can they be in a group.

"Anything is possible." Shadow Zuo Zhenzhao seemed to see through Kawa Jiu's thoughts, and reminded lightly, and Kawa Jiu nodded solemnly.

After thinking about it, Ying Zuo Zhenzhao made up his mind and said: "You still have to monitor, but you can't startle the snake, you make specific arrangements, don't transfer people from our side, and let Li Shiqun find Zhang Xiaolin to think of a way." ”

Just when he was plotting in Chongguangtang, Daze clashed with Luo Wending in the café, Luo Wending was very angry at Daze's arrival, he didn't even look at the information brought by Daze and opened his mouth to blame, thinking that Daze's move was a risk, a risk of disregard for his own safety, this move could bury the entire intelligence group, and ten years of hard work would be ruined.

"This is not a fear of death, but a necessary security guarantee, you should know how important your position is, the primary core of intelligence work is security, especially the security of intelligence personnel, war is long-term, not for a while!" Luo Wending's face flushed with anger, and he lowered his voice and almost stared at Daze viciously.

Daze didn't expect this, he almost jumped up, risked his life to get information, and actually got such a result, and he suddenly felt dissatisfied in his heart.

"Mr. Luo, this is the army's Wuhan attack plan," Daze said with strong anger: "In addition, intelligence officers are in danger all the time, and the value of intelligence officers is to obtain information in danger and send it safely." Isn't it already worthless for intelligence officers to cease their activities? So I disagree. ”

"Stopping activity is because you are already in the enemy's line of sight, and a temporary stop can ensure safety,..."

Before Luo Wending could finish speaking, Daze interrupted him: "We all know intelligence work, as long as we are in sight, unless we find it, we will never give up, for safety, I will not stop my activities until the end of the war." ”

I can't help but say that Daze's idea is reasonable, the secret world is like this, Luo Wending sat down slowly, he picked up the information sent by Daze, and Daze also sat down opposite him in silence.

"This information must be sent out immediately." Luo Wending quickly read the information, and he immediately realized the importance of this information. Daze was silent, it was precisely because of the importance of intelligence that he took the risk to come to contact Luo Wending.

Luo Wending pondered and said: "You are right, but don't come here easily until you have to, and besides, if you see the second window closed, don't come in, that means danger." ”

Daze nodded, then stood up and turned to leave, but Luo Wending took out a document from the drawer and handed it to him: "This is a directive issued by London to the embassy in China on how to deal with the issue of Tibetan Province. ”

Osawa took it and looked at it, and the instructions from London were actually expected, and Britain did not have the strength to stir up disputes in the Far East now, and the instructions demanded that the embassy in China take concession measures.
