Chapter 21 The Work of the Mei Agency
The eating and drinking downstairs actually lasted for nearly two hours. Fox Thirteen didn't eat lunch or dinner, and was amused by the smell of cooked food, at first his index finger moved and was deeply tormented, but listening to it, his heart was terrified, and his two ears couldn't help but stand up high, refusing to let go of every word of the conversation between the three people.
The conversation between Xia Wenyun and Hiroshi Ikeda and Hiroshi Kudo quickly got to the point, talking about what was happening in Shanghai at the moment, and before they knew it, something big was about to happen.
This is related to an order that Shunroku Hata has just received from the capital. The base camp asked the Japanese army to loot all kinds of metals in all the occupied areas from now on and send them back to China. Xia Wenyun proposed that since it is metal, the collection of rich families must be more than that of ordinary people, so the focus of work should be on the rich area. "I don't know why we need so much metal in China!" Hiroshi Ikeda said casually.
Kuto's right guard looked at Xia Wenyun and said, "Today's ministry is talking to He Sang, it should be for this matter." β
Xia Wenyun smiled and said, "Exactly." It seems that it is going to carry out large-scale production, tanks, warships, etc., hehe, the two intellectuals, Japan lacks resources, so even if it is just a pot, it is very important for the cause of the empire. β
"Big production. This should have been done a long time ago, but I heard that the Empire's new tank Type 99 is not the opponent of the Cadet Army Jiguang type, which hurts self-esteem too much. β
"I wonder if a new tank will be designed this time."
"It's not something you and I can care about, drink and drink."
β¦β¦ The conversation downstairs caused Fox Thirteen to ponder. This is definitely a very valuable piece of information - Japan is going to carry out mass production, does that mean that they will launch a new war offensive in China? "This silver fox actually has the right to know the core secrets of the Japanese, he is really deep enough!" Thinking like this, Fox Thirteen admired Xia Wenyun more and more.
Xia Wenyun didn't know that the Lu Dao connector had already lurked in the house, and after the three of them finished eating and drinking, he asked the two Japanese spies to stay behind below, and then came upstairs. His excuse for going home was to find some change of clothes, and now he is going upstairs to look for clothes.
Footsteps came from the stairs, and soon, Xia Wenyun went up to the second floor. Fox Thirteen was thinking about whether to show up now, when footsteps approached himβXia Wenyun's target turned out to be this room. The lights were on, and under the soft light, Xia Wenyun first opened the two cabinets, casually took out two pieces of clothing and threw them on the chair, and then walked quickly to the windowsill.
Fox Thirteen watched all this silently, and was sure that he had gone home because he saw the signal, so he gently closed the door, and then shouted: "Silver Fox!? β
Xia Wenyun's body stiffened, slowly turned around and looked over, and when he saw Fox Thirteen, his eyes shrank slightly, and asked, "Who are you?" β
Fox Thirteen threw out the token that had been prepared a long time ago, Xia Wenyun checked it, let down his guard, and said: "There are two Japanese people following me, if there is anything, please tell me quickly." β
Hu 13 didn't say much, and directly took out a handwritten letter from Ouyang Yun that he had collected and handed it to him, saying, "I will stay here for a while, please reply as soon as possible." Xia Wenyun kept the letter close to him, nodded and said, "It's good." He also said, "Shanghai has been very unpeaceful recently, so you can stay with me." As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Fox Thirteen with wide eyes and a stunned look, and after a few seconds he continued: "You, you are Fox Thirteen?" β
"Yes!"
Xia Wenyun's eyes flowed, and he said in a low voice: "You are really bold enough, you dare to come back." Commander Ouyang too, how could he think of sending you back? β
Fox Thirteen took off his glasses politely and smiled: "It's okay, the Japanese can't hold me." β
Fox Thirteen was originally famous in Shanghai's underground world, because he killed Yanagi Quan Zhai, and escaped from the siege of the Japanese, and now his story has become a legend. Xia Wenyun took two deep breaths, suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and said in a low voice: "You did the two incidents that just happened!" The Japanese are angry now, don't make any more trouble. Just stay here, there are bread, pickles, jerky in the attic above, you can use it. I'll get back to you as soon as I can, okay, I'll go first. β
"Then you're welcome!"
The joint went very smoothly, which made Fox Thirteen feel good. After Xia Wenyun and the two Japanese spies left, he immediately went up to the attic to get bread, pickles, and dried meat. However, just as he turned off the flashlight and was about to go down to the attic, he suddenly heard a slight sound of the door opening.
"Squeak-"
He was shocked, and he froze. The next moment, a dark figure flashed into the room, and the door was gently shut. A small-caliber flashlight was turned on, and the aperture of the flashlight swept around, and after hitting the stairs, a black shadow walked towards the stairs.
When he got closer, Fox Thirteen immediately recognized that the black shadow should be a woman. The black shadow cat bent on his waist, and every step forward was handled gently, but he didn't make a sound at all. Fox Thirteen's eyes narrowed, and his heart quickly turned his thoughts, and after the black shadow went up to the second floor, he had an idea.
The shadow went upstairs and took a picture up the stairs towards the attic, and then began to check the situation on the second floor. When the aperture of the flashlight locked on the room where Fox Thirteen was hiding before, and the black shadow began to walk over, Fox Thirteen suddenly jumped down from the attic, kicked at the other party, and scolded at the same time: "Eight grids, who are you?" β
The black shadow should have been waiting outside Xia's mansion for a long time, so Xia Wenyun touched her as soon as they left. She didn't expect that there was still someone hiding in the attic, and when Fox Thirteen pounced down, she felt abnormal, and instinctively reached out and took out a handful of kunai to sprinkle it. Suddenly, when she heard the sound of "Eight Grids", she was stunned for a moment, and then she was kicked in her right arm, and her right hand was out of strength, and all the kunai in her hand fell to the ground.
She was also very responsive, and before Fox Thirteen could continue to attack, a roller appeared two meters away, and the light of the flashlight followed closely, and she shouted in Japanese: "Who are you?" β
Fox Thirteen jumped to the ground, pressed his top hat on the spot, and then rushed over.
The black shadow only saw a top hat, but he didn't see the face clearly, and he hesitated again. Seeing Fox Thirteen rushing up again, she stepped back and continued to shout, "Stop, I'm from Mei Organ." β
Fox Thirteen has limited knowledge of Japanese, but fortunately, Mei Ji understands it. He thought about it and stopped, raised his head slightly and asked, "What do you do with the Mei Agency?" Don't you know who He Sang is? β
"Don't get me wrong, I'm just doing what I'm told."
"Tell me, who asked you to come, and what is your intention?!" Fox Thirteen was aggressive, and he asked as he pressed towards the shadow.
