Chapter 278: Knocking

Hangzhou West Lake teahouse.

There is a slight drizzle outside the window, the air is slightly humid, the daytime temperature in Hangzhou in April can reach more than 20 degrees, not very hot, and there is a slight cool breeze by the lake.

Han Lin held the bowl in his hand, used the lid of the bowl to flick the floating tea leaves, took a sip, then covered it and put it on the table, and picked up the melon seeds very leisurely.

After the opening ceremony, he saw off Bratton and Smith, and then drove to Hangzhou and called Shibahara Heizaburo to connect at the lake.

"Director Han, it's been a long time since I've been away for a few months!" Shibahara Heizaburo walked into the private room with a black suitcase and said with a flattering smile.

"Please be seated, this is the first time we have met and talked since I returned to Jinling. First of all, I want to thank you, the clues given to me at the beginning allowed me to quickly open up the situation in Jinling, and the secret stronghold of Guanghui Foreign Bank was pulled out by me, but Tongsheng Transportation continued to remain. Han Lin also said with a smile.

"I admire your patience, stronger than I thought, Tongsheng Transportation is a place that can be monitored for a long time, and the energy continues to surprise and bring you results. After you left, the headquarters of the secret service in Shanghai did not give me a special task, and asked me about your situation in Hangzhou. Shibahara Heizaburo said.

Impatient people can't achieve great things, Han Lin faced the temptation of achievements, and actually kept Tongsheng Transportation unmoved, which is the wisest way to look at the long-term future, rather than immediate interests.

"Recently, the Japanese army is going to carry out a conspiracy in North China, do you know about it?" Han Lin asked.

The question was quite broad and did not refer to a specific matter, and he also wanted to know if Heizaburo Shibahara had any information to offer.

"Mr. Han's ability to obtain intelligence is simply incredible, to tell you the truth, I have indeed heard a little rumor recently, a few days ago in Tianjin City, an acquaintance who joined the secret service at the same time as me came to Hangzhou to see me, and when I was drinking, I mentioned that the military department planned to carry out an operation to stimulate the Jinling government's garrison in North China, and use this as an excuse to exert pressure on the Jinling government and seize control of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei Province."

"The operations of the secret service are top secret, not the specific executors of the operation, and he does not know the key to it, what the content of the operation is, who will carry it out, when the operation will start, etc., he has no idea about this, and I have not reported it to you." Shibahara Heizaburo said.

Hearing his words, Han Lin immediately made a judgment that the Kwantung Army's Fengtian secret service wanted to assassinate He Yingqin, and Shibahara Heizaburo did not get any information, and so far, this unsuccessful operation has been kept strictly secret.

And such a situation is the most normal and reasonable, the Japanese army used such despicable means to assassinate the second person in the Jinling government military, once the matter is leaked, not only will the Japanese military department fall into an embarrassing and passive situation because of this, and even the so-called Great Japanese Empire will be discredited in the international community!

As a bitch and set up a torii, no matter how despicable and shameless the Japanese do in private, they don't admit it on the surface, Japan is a country after all, not a gang of ruffians!

The news that Shibahara Heizaburo got was the news that the Japanese garrison in North China wanted to frame the Jinling government!

Han Lin knew that these were actually two things, but Shibahara Heizaburo didn't know, Boss Dai didn't know, and the North China Region of the second place probably didn't know anything about these two things!

"How to judge and analyze something, whether to take necessary measures for this, this is my problem, can you inform me of the information you get in time, it's your problem, forget it this time, I don't want such a situation to happen in the future."

"My intelligence work is not as weak as you think, even if I am in Jinling, I still have a way to hear the news from North China, and even I have more information than you. For you, it needs to be used enough to sustain our relationship, and you must admit that I am very tolerant of you and have never asked you to do anything on your own initiative. Han Lin said.

He was beating Shibahara Heizaburo, and when he got the news, he dared not report it, so wouldn't it be worthless for me to develop you as a downline? If you don't have any use value, why keep you?

"I beg your pardon, this time it was my negligence, there will never be anything like this again!" Heizaburo Shibahara's forehead began to sweat.

A person who has become a traitor is definitely greedy for life and afraid of death, he did not have the courage to be loyal to the so-called emperor and the empire at the beginning, and now he has no confidence to face Han Lin's beating.

"I know that this matter is your negligence, otherwise you wouldn't have told me the news about Jincheng, you said you don't know, and I can't verify it, but this approach is beneficial to you, let me see your sincerity and value, I hope you will do better in the future." For your safety, we can't meet for too long, and you're good to go! Han Lin said with a smile.

If he thinks that Shibahara Heizaburo is deliberately concealing the news and has a perfunctory attitude, he will not hesitate to kill this person, even if it is the first Japanese spy in the entire second place to rebel.

"Director Han, it's rare for you to come to Hangzhou, this is a little bit of heart I have prepared for you, please smile!" Shibahara Heizaburo placed the black leather case in his hand on the table.

"No, I won't squeeze your property because of your identity, and you don't have to worry about anything, in the second place, you are absolutely safe, money, I don't lack money!" Han Lin shook his head with a smile and said.

"I know that you are not short of money, the Han family is a big salt merchant in the Jinling government, I know this, but I need a reason to make myself feel at ease." Shibahara Heizaburo said.

If I don't take your money, you won't feel safe? And it's because I'm not short of money that you pay special attention to me collecting money, what kind of logic is this?

"Okay, since you want peace of mind, then I'll take it, but you have to understand that it is always your own use value that can protect you." Han Lin said with a smile.

After Shibahara Heizaburo left, he opened the box and saw that only half of the gold bars were accounted for, and the rest were jewelry and jade, although they were all small items, but the value was quite amazing.

Closing the lid of the box, he lifted it up and went downstairs, went out after settling the account, and drove into the car to the Hangzhou Garrison Headquarters.

Xuan Tiewu was promoted to the director of the security department of Zhejiang Province and the commander of the Hangzhou garrison, and he held the military power of Zhejiang Province, which can also see President Jiang's trust in him, after all, the status of Zhejiang Province is special, and those who can hold these two positions are absolute henchmen.

Han Lin usually rarely comes to Hangzhou, and since he came, of course he had to meet Xuan Tiewu, which was his important personal relationship in the Jinling government.
