Huiying Hotel, Ning Zhiheng took Matsudaira Hidemi and a few guards out early in the morning, he came to Qingdao in the name of touring the mountains and rivers, if he only stayed in the hotel, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.

It's just that as soon as he moved, he was immediately alarmed, and the local guards who had already been arranged also hurriedly followed, and Ning Zhiheng didn't ask in detail, it was nothing more than the arrangement of the special high class and the local garrison.

Today is a sunny day, just in time for a trip to see the sea, they follow the beach road of Qingdao Bay all the way to the west, the scenery here is indeed beautiful, with a complex of typical European style buildings on one side and a blue bay on the other.

After the cold sea breeze entered this bay, it became docile and hit the face, making people feel a little cool, but it did not affect the good mood of Ning Zhiheng and the others at all.

Looking into the distance, the sky is like a piece of blue jade, the sea is more like a piece of jade, the water and the sky are connected, it is magnificent, from time to time a few seagulls come to join in the fun, in the blue world, add a few interesting colors.

Under the sunshine, the golden sand sparkles people's eyes, Ning Zhiheng was full of interest, got off the road to the beach, stepped on the soft sand, watched the waves under his feet gently lap, surged on the beach, splashed silver waves, and suddenly felt relaxed and happy.

Ning Zhiheng turned his head to look at Matsudaira Hidemi behind him, and said with a smile: "Matsudaira-kun, how do you feel?" Green tiles and green trees, blue sea and blue sky, it is really a rare good scenery in northern China! ”

Matsudaira Hidemi was also extremely excited about the scenery in front of him, and he kept taking pictures of the beautiful scenery around him with a camera in his hand, and said loudly with a smile: "Yes, what a beautiful place!" This time I want to write a good article when I go back, it's really worth the trip! ”

Even Kimura Maki on the side praised it repeatedly: "This is much more beautiful than the seaside in my hometown, and there are so many good places in China!" ”

At this time, there were also many Japanese expatriates passing by, seeing their group, knowing that it was an important person traveling, they all bowed down far away, Ning Zhiheng didn't care, Kimura Maki and others were not too worried, this is a Japanese expatriate gathering area, the security force is enough, and the security is still very high.

The time to play passed quickly, Ning Zhiheng looked at the sunshine, raised his hand to look at the time, and Kimura Maki also came up and said, "President, the time is almost up, let's go back!" ”

Ning Zhiheng nodded, and was about to speak, when he saw a long convoy on the highway not far away.

In the front were several military vehicles opening the road, loaded with armed sergeants with loaded guns and ammunition, and behind them was a group of black luxury cars, which were quite imposing.

Ning Zhiheng's brows furrowed, he knew that the puppet government and his party would come to Qingdao today, and now it seemed that it should be them.

"Let's go, the guests have arrived, let's go back and see the excitement!"

Ning Zhiheng waved his hand, and the group also got on the highway, and the escort vehicle that had already followed behind drove over, and everyone got into the car, followed the convoy in front of them, and drove in the direction they came from.

Wang Reclamation and a group of high-ranking officials got out of the car, accompanied by Keiji Dohara and Yuki Kagesa, and entered the hotel, according to the previous arrangement, these people were arranged on the third floor of the hotel, that is, Ning Zhiheng's downstairs room.

Ning Zhiheng's car also followed, he stepped out of the car, looked left and right, the banquet at this time was very different from when he left.

The whole neighborhood has been under martial law, the streets are lined up with checkpoints at both ends, the streets are empty, the hotel is densely surrounded by armed guards, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry are tightly armed, densely extending out of the distance, all of them are sergeants of the Japanese garrison.

After just leaving for a few hours, the Hui Ying Hotel changed its appearance, heavily guarded, as if facing a great enemy, adding a bit of a solemn atmosphere.

Ning Zhiheng got out of the car, someone had already greeted him, this person Ning Zhiheng saw yesterday, it was Keiji Tsuchihara's liaison officer Kasahara Shaozuo, he introduced the group into the hotel, and the other guards saw it and knew that it was a special person, so they didn't dare to stop it.

The corners of Ning Zhiheng's mouth curled, his gaze became cold, and he gently spit out a sentence in his mouth: "What a big show!" ”

The displeasure in his tone made Kasawara Shaoza tremble in fright, and he quickly explained: "I beg your pardon, this meeting is very important, so various departments have sent security personnel, of course, to protect your safety. ”

Ning Zhiheng naturally wouldn't be upset with his little liaison officer, waved his hand, and walked towards the courtyard in one step.

But inadvertently, his eyes swept away, his eyes couldn't help but tighten, his body turned to one side, his back turned away, his steps quickened, and he entered the courtyard of the Huiying Hotel.

It turned out that he found that on the side of a road near the gate of the hotel, several men in civilian clothes were talking in low voices, and the faces of one of them turned out to be acquaintances, and it was Xu Yongchang.

Ning Zhiheng was quite surprised at this time, Xu Yongchang would appear in Qingdao, but he quickly thought of the original situation, this must be the group of people who came to Qingdao with Li Zhiqun and Wang Hanmin, and Xu Yongchang was also selected.

Ning Zhiheng and the others entered the courtyard, only to find that the courtyard was also densely covered with guards, but it was obvious that they were all intelligence officers of the Xingya Academy, they were wearing military uniforms, and they were wearing armbands with the word "Xing" written on their arms, which was a special symbol of the Xingya Academy.

The group walked through the courtyard and entered the interior of the hotel, and soon found that the service staff in the hotel did not seem to be right, they were sturdy and behaved very differently.

You must know that Ning Zhiheng has a strong memory of people's facial appearance, although only a day has passed, but he has an impression of the hotel service staff he has come into contact with, but when he looks at it, he does not find a familiar face, and now it seems that all the hotel service staff have also been replaced.

Kasawara Shaosa led the way in front, and during this time, he nodded to each other with several of the waiters, obviously familiar with each other.

It seems that these service personnel are all intelligence agents of the special high school, Ning Zhiheng was secretly surprised in his heart, he did not expect that the Japanese would take such pains to ensure the security and reception of this tripartite meeting.

Ning Zhiheng opened his mouth and asked, "Have all the personnel of the new government arrived?" ”

Kasawara Shaoza hurriedly replied: "I just arrived, and I have arranged to stay, just downstairs from you." ”

"Where are General Kagesa and General Tsuchihara now?"

"I'm talking to someone from the new government, if you need to find them, I'll report it right away!"

"No need, I've been out for a long time, and I'm really tired!" Ning Zhiheng waved his hand and said.

"Hey, please take a break."

Kasahara Shaozo hurriedly nodded in agreement, and then asked: "A welcome banquet will be held at noon, and the personnel of the new government will be banqueted, and General Tsuchihara wants to invite you to participate in it, I don't know what you think?" ”

Ning Zhiheng frowned, and asked, "General Sangu, are they attending?" ”

Kasahara Shaosa was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and explained, "It's just General Tsuchihara and General Kagesa who participated. ”

It seems that the Japanese garrison doesn't care too much about the new government and his party, this is just an invitation from the intelligence departments of the two sides who presided over the meeting, Ning Zhiheng suddenly lost interest, waved his hand and said: "No need, I'm tired, let them bring lunch to the room!" ”

"Hey!"

Kasahara Shaozo sent Ning Zhiheng to the top floor, and was about to turn around and leave, when Ning Zhiheng called him back again and asked, "Is the section chief of the Shanghai Special High School Sagawa also here?" ”

Kasawara Shaosa was stunned for a moment, and replied respectfully: "It's already here, Section Chief Sagawa and General Tsuchihara are together, and they are talking to the personnel of the new government." ”

Ning Zhiheng then asked, "Does Shinya Takeshita, the liaison officer who knows him?" ”

"Oh, it's Takeshita-kun? Acquaintance, the last time he and Section Chief Sagawa came to visit General Tsuchihara! ”

"Okay, I'm familiar with Takeshita-kun, you tell Takeshita-kun, you have time to come to me to talk, I don't have many friends here, it's really boring!"

"Hi Yi, I will definitely convey it, please rest assured!" Kasahara replied with a bow.

Watching Kasahara Shaozo leave, Ning Zhiheng returned to his room and immediately called Yi Huaan, who was staying in the hotel to guard the radio station, to his room.

Yi Hua'an entered the room, and before he could speak, Ning Zhiheng asked, "Xu Yongchang has come to Qingdao, do you know?" ”

Hearing Ning Zhiheng's question, Yi Huaan was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I really don't know, he didn't report this situation." ”

After Xu Yongchang joined the Intelligence Section, he and his upline Hong Shijie were under the leadership of Yi Huaan, so Ning Zhiheng would ask Yi Huaan.

Ning Zhiheng's face sank, and he reprimanded in a low voice: "There is a mistake in your work arrangement, Xu Yongchang has been in Qingdao for a week, he came to Qingdao with Li Zhiqun and Wang Hanmin to track down the personnel of my Qingdao station, such an important situation, you don't know now?" ”

Ning Zhiheng has always been worried about Li Zhiqun and Wang Hanmin, although he had reminded the headquarters to pay attention to Wang Hanmin's actions in Qingdao, but he was still a little uncertain in his heart, I don't know what Wang Hanmin and others have done in Qingdao for a week? Will it pose a threat to Qingdao Station? Will it pose a threat to the imminent actions to undermine the trilateral talks?

If Ning Zhiheng had known earlier that Xu Yongchang was also involved in this operation, he could have calmly arranged, and could even send Hong Shijie to Qingdao to contact Xu Yongchang and listen to the latest progress information.

But now the problem is that among his subordinates in Qingdao, neither Yi Huaan nor He Siming can contact Xu Yongchang.

Because the identities of these two people are too important, one is his personal secretary, the most important assistant, and the other is his ace intelligence officer, who has penetrated the deepest nail of the Japanese intelligence department, Ning Zhiheng will never let their identities be exposed in front of Xu Yongchang.

Besides, Xu Yongchang didn't know them at all, and he couldn't believe them for no reason, so he couldn't make contact, let alone listen to reports.

And the token used to contact Xu Yongchang under special circumstances, the half of the mutilated legal currency, has now been handed over to Luo Xingchao's hands, and it has not been brought to Qingdao at all.

Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but secretly feel sorry for himself, he couldn't come forward to contact him, he and Xu Yongchang had met, but his identity was in the Shanghai Intelligence Bureau, and only a few cronies and high-level officials knew about it, if Xu Yongchang knew, the risk was too great!
