The public concession is changing.

As if crazy, the agents of the military command carried out the craziest assassination in the Public Concession.

Japanese spies and traitors are assassinated almost every day.

And this kind of assassination is not targeted, and the only common denominator seems to be found in one:

Famous.

The more famous they are, the easier they are to be hunted down.

Even Hitotsugu Matsumoto, the head of the Japanese Shanghai Agency, was assassinated twice in succession.

Although it didn't work, it still shocked him into a cold sweat.

Are these military commanders all crazy?

Meng Shaoyuan? Liao Yuting?

No matter how you look at it, it seems that only the grievances of these two people will cause the current situation.

He really wanted to stop the bounty on Meng Shaoyuan, but unfortunately the existence of Koichi Habara and the power of Kenji Dohihara behind him made Matsumoto Renji a little helpless.

Let's mess up, wait until Shanghai is completely messed up, and see who can clean up this mess......

……

"Thank you, Mr. Habara."

Liao Yuting wore a vest and tie, poured two glasses of wine, and handed one to Yuhara Koichi: "If it weren't for your hard work, maybe this plan would have failed." ”

It was the first time that Koichi Hahara came to Liao Yuting's residence.

This is the basement, and above, is a grocery store.

The basement has been remodeled, with carpets imported from the United States on the floor, a wine cabinet on one side, and all sorts of liquors on it, and even the vents.

Liao Yuting found that Koichi Habara was observing his residence: "This is one of my eight strongholds in Shanghai. The owner of the grocery store above, I saved his life, and since then, I have let him open a grocery store here, which has been open for eight years, and he usually has no other job, just to help me take care of this place, and wait for my arrival at any time. ”

Koichi Habara learned again.

A man's only task for eight years is to help people keep an eye on their hiding place, so no one will suspect him.

Since General Dohihara sent Liao Yuting to Shanghai, it was obvious that he had done it after careful consideration, and hoped that his efforts in front of Captain Matsumoto would be correct.

"Mr. Liao, I admire you very much." Habara Koichi took a sip of wine: "No matter what the outcome of this plan will be in the end, I firmly believe that this has caused a lot of trouble to Meng Shaoyuan. ”

"Don't worry, I have another killer move." Liao Yuting smiled slightly: "Everything I did was for this final fatal blow!" ”

Now, Peng Bilan should have gained Meng Shaoyuan's trust.

Despite their own woman, and another man in bed...... This made Liao Yuting feel that there were a bunch of ants crawling there in his heart when he thought about it, but as long as he could kill Meng Shaoyuan, it was worth the price!

Koichi Habara didn't ask him what his last move was.

Because he knows very well that there are some things that don't have to be asked so clearly.

He came today for another thing: "Mr. Liao, do you know Miao Chengfang?" ”

"Miao Chengfang?" Liao Yuting frowned: "It's not particularly clear, he used to be in the Central Adjustment Department, and his previous name was not Miao Chengfang." This person's qualifications are relatively old, and then he suddenly came out of the middle transfer department. I don't really know why. Mr. Habara, why are you asking about him? ”

"I think this guy is funny." Hawara Koichi said with a deep groan: "Judging from his qualifications, there is no problem, he is a very senior hidden spy of the Great Japanese Empire in China, and he is under the direct command of General Fujiwara Guichuan. There will be no problem with the person that General Fujiwara has a crush on, but I always find this person interesting. ”

Liao Yuting seemed to hear something: "What you call interesting, be specific." ”

"Look, in many things, his position is from the perspective of the Great Japanese Empire." Koichi Hahara organized the vocabulary: "But the plan he proposed seems to be more beneficial to the military command." However, you won't find any flaws in his wording...... I don't know how to describe it, I just feel a little curious about this person. ”

"As I said, I don't know Miao Chengfang." Liao Yuting said lightly: "You are just curious about him, General Fujiwara is a Japanese nobleman, even General Dohihara has great respect for him." His people, you can only doubt. ”

His words suddenly changed: "A person with ulterior motives, if he has some ulterior motives, even if he hides himself deeply, sooner or later he will reveal flaws." ”

Koichi Habara nodded slowly: "I think I will pay special attention to this person's ...... for a period of time in the future."

……

"Mr. Miao, please drink tea."

Matsumoto Renji is still very confident in his tea ceremony: "During this time, a lot of things happened in Shanghai, and it seems that they are all aimed at Liao Yuting. ”

"I don't trust this person." Miao Chengfang took a sip of tea and was full of praise: "Your Excellency, your tea ceremony has improved again...... After Liao Yuting arrived in Shanghai, he didn't report it immediately, and I can be sure that he didn't really fancy the 5 million yen bounty...... The timing was too coincidental, and he should have just taken advantage of the opportunity......

Your Excellency, an excellent intelligence officer, obedience to discipline is the first priority, and any of Liao Yuting's actions in Shanghai have never been reported, on the contrary, his so-called plan has also caused us great losses, especially in recent times, those people in the military command are simply crazy, and they are carrying out purposeless assassinations everywhere. ”

This is also where Matsumoto Rentsugu is most annoyed.

He was the acting head of the Shanghai agency, and his most important task was to stabilize the situation, not to get bogged down in the mess he was in.

"Let's put this matter aside for now, Mr. Miao." Matsumoto Renji sighed, "I have more important things to discuss with you. The Nanjing Restoration Government was about to be established, and North China also sent some important officials to participate in the meeting, and discussed the possibility of comprehensive cooperation between the North and the South. And General Yoshikawa Sadazo also sent his younger brother Yoshikawa Gomon to participate. ”

"Sadazo Yoshikawa?"

"Yes, he is the head of the secret service of the five provinces in North China." Matsumoto Rentsugu's expression was solemn: "He has a lot of power in his hands, and more importantly, he is the nephew of His Majesty the Emperor. ”

His Majesty's nephew?

Miao Chengfang's heart moved: "So to put it this way, Yoshikawa Wumen is also the nephew of His Majesty the Emperor?" ”

"No, not strictly speaking." Matsumoto Hitotsugu carefully explained: "Yoshikawa Gomon's biological father is Hirano Ube, who was once a retainer of the Yoshikawa family, and the Yoshikawa family chose a child to be the adopted son of the Yoshikawa family in order to reward the loyalty of the Hirano family, and this is Yoshikawa Gomon. Yoshikawa Gomon has been loved by the Yoshikawa family since he was a child.

In particular, General Yoshikawa Sadasa, who had a very good relationship with Yoshikawa Gomon since he was a child, was transferred to Shina and took Gomon with him. And Gomon did not live up to the trust of General Yoshikawa and made many military exploits. It can even be said that General Yoshikawa was able to take up the post of head of the secret service organs of the five provinces in North China, and at least half of the merits of the five gates were accounted for. ”

This is a special piece of intelligence.

Miao Chengfang quickly thought in his heart.

"Yoshikawa Gomon has a special mission to come this time." Matsumoto Hitotsugu said solemnly: "After the occupation of Beiping, Shanghai, and Nanjing by the Japanese Empire, the higher authorities also considered further strengthening cooperation between the North and the South in terms of intelligence. Therefore, Yoshikawa Gomon came this time to celebrate the establishment of the Nanjing Restoration Government, and then he will transfer to Shanghai to meet with us to discuss the intelligence agencies of the North and the South, as well as the possibility of cooperation in the next step. ”

Then, this person is the plenipotentiary of Sadazo Yoshikawa.

There are contradictions between the Japanese army and navy, as well as the intelligence agencies of the North and the South. It's just that this contradiction is not superficial.

If the arrival of Yoshikawa Gomon this time allows Japan's northern and southern intelligence agencies to really cooperate in an all-round way, it will be quite unfavorable to the future work of the military command.

This information must be sent.

"Mr. Miao, Yoshikawa Wumen arrived in Nanjing on the 27th and entered Shanghai on the 29th, and I will be fully responsible for his reception." Matsumoto Rentsugu's expression was solemn: "General Yoshikawa and I used to telegraph before, and the words were still very polite, saying that the arrival of the five doors caused us trouble, but the meaning of the words was to take care of his younger brother. In addition, General Dohihara also sent a telegram specifically for the same matter of Yoshikawa Gomon. ”

"Oh, General Dohihara has come forward in person?" Miao Chengfang couldn't help but ask.

"Yes." Matsumoto Hitoshi couldn't help lowering his voice: "According to information from Tokyo, we are preparing a 'Special Committee on China' jointly composed of the Army, the Navy, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. ”

Miao Chengfang pondered there for a long time: "I understand, so you have always taken a forbearant attitude towards the repeated assassinations of the military commanders at this stage, and you are very worried that after the all-out war, it will affect our reception of the five gates of Yoshikawa." ”

"Yes, we must let Yoshikawa Wumen arrive in Shanghai safely and leave Shanghai safely, and before that, everything can be put aside for the time being." Matsumoto Renji also looked a little helpless: "This is top secret, but I think that with General Dohihara's trust in Habara Koichi, he should also know that if he is smart now, he should give up the pursuit of Meng Shaoyuan!" ”

You're wrong.

Miao Chengfang said silently in his heart. Hanehara Koichi's method is the smartest, as long as he continues to pursue Meng Shaoyuan, and even does not hesitate to start a full-scale war with the military commander in Shanghai, so that the military commander can be flawless, in order to better ensure the safety of Yoshikawa Wumen.

"I will do my best to assist you, Your Excellency." Miao Chengfang smiled slightly: "However, I want to ask you to transfer someone back for me to assist in my work." ”

"You're talking about Tian Qi?"

"Yes, Tian Qi!"
