Chapter XVII: Acquaintances
The Japanese spy organizations and gendarmerie units carried out a large-scale search and arrest of Chinese anti-Japanese soldiers in Shanghai, not just to vent their anger or simply show their performance to the base camp to cope with the errand. One of the most fundamental reasons lies in the particularity of Shanghai. Although most of the land is now occupied by the Japanese, the country was once known as a country of all nations, but because Western countries still maintained concessions or consulates in Shanghai, it was an excellent place to gather information and conduct such transactions. With this in mind alone, the Japanese knew that no matter how hard they searched for them, it would still be impossible to avoid the entry and activities of powerful agents from all sides, and they were doing this now only to minimize the damage.
Originally, the Shanghai team had a total of more than 20 bases in Shanghai, and most of them had never even been used. When Mu Jiandie first asked Yang Sanping to set up more bases in Shanghai regardless of the cost, Hu Shisan, who was used to living a hard life, felt very puzzled, thinking that it was suspected of spending resources by investing the already tight funds in this area. And now, when he walked into a ready-to-wear store in Huangpu as the "third young master of the Yang family", he realized how wise and wise Mu Jiandie's original decision was.
There were only two people in the shop, an old tailor and his grandson, both apprentices. Seeing Fox Thirteen take out an identity certificate with the mark of "Yang Ji Grand Butler", the old tailor immediately recognized his new identity. "Lin Lin, go make tea, the third young master is here to check the accounts!" He yelled at his grandson.
Fox Thirteen took off his top hat, sat down with his glasses, and asked, "Old Hu, is business good lately?" I heard that the Japanese are very fierce! ”
Lao Hu bowed and replied softly: "Business is indeed not as good as some time ago, but it is still passable." Third Young Master, you take a sip of tea first, and I'll go get the account book. ”
"Let's talk about the audit tomorrow, I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?"
"Yes, yes. Lin Lin, hurry up and heat up the evening's meal. No, I'll redo it. Third young master, if you can't buy food at night, you can make do with it......"
"Don't bother so much, I'm not a delicate person, just have leftovers."
"Third Young Master, this is not good."
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I'm really hungry, so I'm going to warm it up. ”
A few minutes later, the young man named Lin Lin came up with a hot meal. A bowl of rice, a plate of leftovers and a plate of pickled cucumbers, the old tailor and grandson may feel too cold, and they are very embarrassed. Fox Thirteen behaved very easy-going, who cares about eating and drinking as an agent. While eating, he inquired about the business situation, and between questions and answers with his grandfather and grandson, he quickly figured out the situation in the neighborhood. Knowing that the Japanese had come to check on him four times, he relaxed his vigilance a little, washed his feet, and went upstairs to sleep.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, after breakfast and checking the account, Fox Thirteen proposed to go out to go shopping, and by the way, buy some Western goods for the old lady at home. The old tailor naturally didn't think much about it, and offered to let his grandson accompany him. Fox Thirteen naturally thanked him for his kindness. Caring that he would not come back to eat at noon or night, he changed into a suit and went out.
When Ouyang Yun and He Yizhi talked about intelligence transmission, in addition to the way of telecommunications, they also had a backhand. For this reason, He Yizhi specially bought a house on the street next to the Japanese military police headquarters. And if Ouyang Yun needs to contact him urgently, he can send someone to smash the flower plate on the windowsill of his house, and then he will take time to go to the Great World Realm, and Ouyang Yun can send someone there to call him for information.
Fox Thirteen dressed in leather shoes, after going out, he called a rickshaw and asked him to go to the Dashi Lu Realm first, and then, wandering around the Dashi Lu Realm for more than an hour, he figured out the architectural layout there, and then he went out, and then called a rickshaw and asked him to go to the street where the military police headquarters was located.
When I got there, it was already about ten o'clock in the morning, and Fox Thirteen went down to find a casual clothing store, and after buying an overcoat, he carried the coat around the gendarmerie headquarters. In the meantime, he noticed that every quarter of an hour or so a group of gendarmes would go out on tricycles, and after noting down the time and number of people and equipment, he finally found the two-story building with two telephone poles of equal height on the opposite side, and after finding out the situation around the small building, he went to the Great World Realm and planned to stay there until the evening.
Entering the Great World Realm, he was thinking about whether to watch a movie, when he suddenly found two familiar figures.
It was Jiang Yunyan and her senior brother Shuai Batian. When his gaze swept over, he didn't realize it at first, but when he looked at it, he couldn't help but open his mouth slightly. The two of them, who were originally dressed in short coats and makeup, actually wore dresses at this time. Shuai Batian is the same as him, in a suit and leather shoes. Jiang Yunyan is rare, she is actually wearing a Western long dress. I have to admit that after these two people changed their clothes, the man was chic and handsome, and the woman was elegant and beautiful. Jiang Yunyan held Shuai Batian's arm, and the two of them walked in slowly, attracting a large number of eyes as soon as they entered the hall.
Dashi Lujie is the most famous gold cave in Shanghai, and there are many so-called local ladies and celebrities who usually mingle here, and such people from other places will inevitably choose this place as their foothold. Because of this, although the duo of Jiang Yunyan and Shuai Batian looks more eye-catching than other combinations, they have not attracted much extra attention.
"Did they do what I suggested? It's just that I don't know if they are here to sit temporarily like me, or if they are going to use this place as a temporary base," Fox Thirteen quickly retracted his gaze, thinking in his heart, and stretched out his hand to straighten out the two short beards. Adding two whiskers to the lips is the most common means of camouflage, and every agent of Fox Hitomi has been trained in this area, but because Fox Thirteen is doing it for the first time, it is inevitable that his self-confidence is not very high, so he will touch it at every turn.
Jiang Yunyan and Shuai Batian should not be the first time to play a couple, the two of them cooperate very well, they walked into the hall as if no one was around, walked to the bar, and then Shuai Batian came forward to ask for a room, and then took Jiang Yunyan's waist in front of everyone and walked to the stairs on the left with a waiter.
"The acting is not bad!" Fox Thirteen gave such an evaluation in his heart, and his eyes searched for the movie poster placed near the bar. This is a movie imported from the United States, there is an English description on it, Fox Thirteen doesn't understand English, he was looking a little big, and suddenly felt something, so he quietly looked at the gate slightly sideways.
Glancing at the three figures that suddenly appeared at the gate, he quickly turned his head, then sat down and picked up the teacup in front of him.
Among these three people, there is actually an acquaintance of his - the one who stands in the middle with a black mole on the left eyebrow, surnamed Wu Ming, was originally a subordinate of the military commander Hu Bao, but now it seems that he should have been bought by the Japanese.
