Although it was a cold winter night, the Ravas tavern was still filled with exotic songs, and this White Russian-owned tavern was filled with all kinds of people, Americans, British, Russians, Jews, Japanese and Chinese. They all like to come to this place where there is wine and beautiful women, leave all the worries of the usual day behind, and let off steam.

Of course, this is also a place where spies from various countries and organizations hang out, and even local gangs often make lucrative deals with those spies here.

In the private room in the corner of the tavern, Guan Beihe was pouring himself beer, and Li Yunfan, who was leaning on the side, looked at his slightly drunk appearance, shook his head slightly, and raised his hand to grab his wrist: "Director, don't drink it, you will drink more, and your sister-in-law will have to train you when you go home later." ”

Guan Beihe took Li Yunfan's hand away: "Training, training, I was trained by that girl?" I'm in a bad mood today, and you let me have two drinks. ”

Li Yunfan smiled: "Do you want me to go out and find two foreign women for you to accompany you?" ”

Guan Beihe said impatiently: "I'm not interested in foreign women, eh, seriously, what is that secret search class for?" What are you doing when you go? ”

Li Yunfan sighed: "I don't know what I'm doing, maybe I'll know tomorrow, as for what I'm doing, I don't have a position." ”

Guan Beihe just laughed, of course he knew that Li Yunfan didn't tell the truth, but he couldn't say anything, after all, Li Yunfan had now officially gone to the secret search class, which was the Japanese department, and he couldn't interfere at all.

"I'll go to the bathroom." When Li Yunfan got up, Qian Sinian just walked in.

Li Yunfan said: "It's just in time, hurry up and accompany the director to have two drinks." ”

Qian Sinian sat down: "What are you going to do?" ”

Li Yunfan said: "My stomach is uncomfortable. ”

After Li Yunfan left the private room, he walked straight in the direction of the toilet, and when he passed by a waiter on the way, the two exchanged glances.

The waiter turned around and left, walked to the door of the bathroom, Li Yunfan also walked over, looked around, stood next to the column head, and whispered to the waiter: "I have been transferred, I have been transferred to the newly formed secret search department of the Japanese, and the main person in charge, Kyoji Miyake, told me that this department is mainly responsible for investigating various mysterious and unsolved incidents in the Northeast, and also asked us to recruit people." ”

After hearing this, the waiter just said, "Commander Zhao is missing." ”

Li Yunfan was stunned: "Missing?" What's going on? Was it ambushed by the Japanese army? ”

The waiter said: "The Provisional Province sent Commander Zhao to the Soviet Union to discuss the matter of aiding us, not only hoping that they could provide us with military assistance, but also hoping to try to get in touch with the Central Committee through the Comintern, but after Commander Zhao crossed the border, he lost contact with us. ”

Li Yunfan frowned and said, "Then what should I do?" ”

The waiter replied: "We are thinking of a way, your current task is to continue to lurk, I will report the situation you said to the provisional provincial party committee, as for what to do next, you wait for the order." ”

Li Yunfan nodded, drank the wine in the cup, and put the empty cup back into the waiter's tray: "Got it." ”

Li Yunfan turned around and went into the bathroom, sitting on the toilet and thinking, he knew that he couldn't help anything about Commander Zhao's disappearance, and now he could only find a way to figure out the purpose of the Japanese as soon as possible, why they wanted to set up a new department, why they wanted to investigate those mysterious events, why such a secret department would let them go to the private sector to recruit members.

Could it have something to do with my old man? Li Yunfan thought so, Miyake Kyoshi hired the old man as a consultant, did he go to my father in the first place?

Li Yunfan's ancestors all opened pawnshops, and his father Li Qingxiang ostensibly was a pawnshop owner and a courtier, but in fact he was a cargo chaser. (For more information about the cargo chaser, please pay attention to the series of novels "Strange Goods")

And Li Qingxiang is also one of the few shippers in the industry who washed his hands in the prime of his forties, because he didn't like to be constrained by the rules, and he was originally a person who did his own thing, so he washed his hands in a golden basin, which is also the main reason why Li Yunfan did not have a son to inherit his father's business.

However, even if Li Qingxiang did not wash his hands with a gold plate, Li Yunfan would not have become a cargo chaser, because he participated in the revolution when he was in school, was absorbed by the organization, and became a member of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation, and the task given to him by the organization was to lurk in the puppet Manchurian FU organization.

After Li Yunfan graduated, he entered the Investigation Department of the Urban Construction Bureau under the Administrative Office of the Harbin Special City of the Puppet Manchurian, and after working in this semi-police organization for two years, he was transferred to the police station to become a police department.

After working in Xinjing for nearly a year, Li Yunfan was transferred back to the Harbin Security Bureau because of his excellent work, and became the chief of the second section the following year.

Li Yunfan knew very well that the reason why he was promoted so quickly was because of the help of the Anti-Japanese Federation and his father, especially his father's familiarity with the local customs and customs of Harbin, which helped him a lot and helped him save the day several times.

Since childhood, Li Yunfan has to have a strong interest in the profession of cargo chaser, if it was in peacetime, I am afraid he would have already set foot in it, after all, curiosity and adventure are human nature. But now that the national crisis is at hand, all he can do is to lurk among the enemy and contribute his meager strength to drive away the invaders and win the final victory.

At the same time, Guan Beihe, who was in the private room, asked Qian Sinian again the question he had asked Li Yunfan before.

He was testing this, testing the attitude of these two people towards him, the answer was obvious, Li Yunfan had to be a little more honest, he at least revealed to himself some news about the investigation of mysterious and unsolved incidents, unlike Li Yunfan, Qian Sinian didn't say a word.

"I really don't know." Qian Sinian's face was embarrassed, "Director, General Miyake told me the name of that department, and the rest didn't say anything. ”

Guan Beihe said deliberately: "Really? So what have you been doing for so long? ”

Qian Sinian sighed: "I'll go in for two minutes, and then you won't be seen when you come out, and then I'll go back to the office to appease those brothers under me, I'm going to be transferred tomorrow, at least I have to say goodbye to everyone, right?" ”

Guan Beihe nodded: "It should be." ”

In fact, Guan Beihe had already sent someone to keep an eye on Qian Sinian, who stayed in the conference room for half an hour, what were the Japanese saying to him in this half hour? He went in for a longer time than Li Yunfan's, which shows that the Japanese have more to say to him than Li Yunfan, and on the other hand, it can also prove that the Japanese trust him far beyond Li Yunfan.

But no matter what, Guan Beihe knew very well in his heart that if he had to choose one of these two people to trust, he could only choose Li Yunfan, not Qian Sinian.

When Li Yunfan returned to the private room, he still held half a bottle of vodka in his hand: "This is the leftover from the last drink, will it be solved today?" ”

"Okay." Qian Sinian smiled, "It's a farewell to the bar." ”

Li Yunfan sat down and poured wine: "What kind of farewell wine, we have not left the Security Bureau, and we will still serve under the director in the future." ”

Qian Sinian realized that he had said the wrong thing, smiled awkwardly, and then looked at Guan Beihe, who just smiled, looking at the vodka that was gradually filling, and didn't seem to care.

Guan Beihe raised his wine glass: "Before drinking this glass, I have something to say." ”

Qian Sinian said: "Director, you say, let's listen." ”

Li Yunfan also nodded.

Guan Beihe said: "Although this road is not chosen by yourself, but how to go, you still have to rely on yourself, your eyes are bright, your head is clear, you are drunk tonight, and you will have to change your body tomorrow." ”

Guan Beihe had something to say, Li Yunfan and Qian Sinian understood it, the two touched Guan Beihe's cup, drank all the spirits in the cup, and then began to talk about some gossip about the Security Bureau.

In this way, the three of them drank until dawn.

In the early morning, Qian Sinian drove the drunken Guan Beihe home, and after saying goodbye to the two on the street, Li Yunfan turned around and walked towards the old expatriate area, because he had made an appointment with a very important person.

After coming to the Shandong tavern, Li Yunfan saw Yi Mochen sitting in the corner eating flatbread at a glance.

Yi Mochen raised his eyes and looked at Li Yunfan with a smile: "Coming?" What to eat, point. ”

Li Yunfan looked around: "After drinking all night, I'm really hungry, I'll just eat some flatbread." ”

Yi Mochen just laughed and didn't speak, the two were silent until Yi Mochen finished eating, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and then said, "Say, is there any news of the secret search class?" ”

Li Yunfan put down the flatbread: "Mochen, you're going to get rich." ”

Yi Mochen was stunned: "Brother, did you really get the internal information of the secret search class?" ”

Li Yunfan said: "Sort of." ”

Yi Mochen was puzzled: "What is it, let's make it clear." ”

Li Yunfan affirmed: "I got it right away." ”

Yi Mochen asked, "Right away?" ”

After speaking, Yi Mochen seemed to understand something: "Brother, you can make a price." ”

Li Yunfan picked up the flatbread again and ate it, chewed it and swallowed it, and then said: "Mochen, the two of us are small, we grew up together, I am older than you, but I am also a classmate in the same school, so we don't need to be so cheesy, right?" ”

"Don't, don't talk about feelings with me, don't talk about feelings about anything these days." Yi Mochen grinned, "The favor can't be repaid, the relationship is not as solid as money, once it is owed, it will be in my heart for the rest of my life, besides, if we talk purely about feelings, then you will return the money I gave you before?" ”

Li Yunfan shook his head and smiled, and after a while, he put away his smile and said, "From today onwards, I will be a member of the secret search class." ”

Yi Mochen's face changed suddenly: "What? You went to the secret search class? ”

Li Yunfan nodded and continued to eat cakes.

Yi Mochen hurriedly asked, "Why?" ”

Li Yunfan shook his head: "I don't know, I suddenly received a notice last night, and I also met with Kyoji Miyake, the head of the Special Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army." ”

Yi Mochen nodded: "Kyoji Miyake was originally the person in charge of the secret search class, and he personally looked for you, which shows that this matter is reliable." Brother, I will rely on you in the future. ”

Li Yunfan just smiled: "Rely on each other, whether I can mix well in this place depends on you, and now I have to ask you to do a favor." ”

Yi Mochen immediately said: "What's the hurry?" ”

Li Yunfan said: "According to Kyoji Miyake, there are only three people in the secret search department now, and the person in charge is called Park Byung-jung, who is a North Korean, and Qian Sinian and I are his assistants. ”

Yi Mochen was surprised: "Three people? How can it be? The secret search class has been established for so long, how can there be only three people. ”

Li Yunfan looked around: "This is the point I want to tell you, from this point, it can be judged that this secret search class is completely different from the one established by the Japanese before, it is just a copy." ”

Yi Mochen was puzzled: "Why do you want to re-establish one." ”

"I don't know yet, but it should be clear after the work is carried out." Li Yunfan looked at Yi Mochen and said, "Kyoji Miyake asked the three of us to recruit members to enrich the secret search class. ”

Yi Mochen was even more puzzled: "How can this kind of secret department be openly recruited?" What do the Japanese want to do? ”

Li Yunfan shook his head: "Everything is unknown now, you help me find two people first, and I will make the difference first, so that I can move on to the next step." ”

While Li Yunfan was talking, the door of the tavern was pushed open, and Tang Qianlin walked in.

After seeing Tang Qianlin, Yi Mochen smiled: "The first person I recommended to you has arrived." ”

Li Yunfan was stunned for a moment, followed Yi Mochen's gaze to the door, and looked Tang Qianlin up and down.

Tang Qianlin also noticed Yi Mochen in the corner, and walked straight after stopping slightly.
