Suddenly, Ning Zhiheng seemed to remember something and asked Yi Huaan again: "I remember when I went to the southern city yesterday, there was a match factory there. Do you still remember?"

Since the three-party meeting started, Ning Zhiheng has not stayed at the Huiying Hotel in the past two days. After all, he came to Qingdao in the name of traveling. It is obviously inappropriate to stay in the hotel.

So in the past two days, Ning Zhiheng has been traveling by the sea or in the city of Qingdao, looking very enthusiastic. Qingdao is economically developed, and the match factory belongs to the chemical industry. It was considered a high-yield enterprise during the Republic of China period. Therefore, there are many companies in Qingdao, most of which are Japanese businessmen's enterprises.

When Yi Huaan heard Ning Zhiheng's sudden question, he also tried hard to recall it, and nodded for a while and replied: "It seems that there are more than one. I remember there are two nearby, just walking north in the Japanese expatriate area."

Ning Zhiheng nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that he could only give it a try. This opportunity is rare and he must not just let it go.

The two of them rushed back to Huiying Hotel soon. Kimura Maki, who had been waiting anxiously, felt relieved. Although the public security in Qingdao has always been very good, the president only took one follower out for a trip, and Kimura Maki was still not relieved. However, Ning Zhiheng had a strong reputation and said a word, no one dared to disobey the slightest.

Back in his room, Ning Zhiheng signaled the others to withdraw. He carefully considered the next action plan in the room alone, and simulated each step in his mind. But no matter how he designed it, it was because of insufficient manpower, insufficient preparation, and very tight time. He was still not sure in the end.

Just when he was having a headache, a knock on the door sounded.

"Come in!"

Matsuhira Hidemi pushed the door and looked at his face flushing and a little smell of alcohol in his mouth. Ning Zhiheng knew that he had just returned from drinking some wine with someone.

Hidemi Matsuhei has been guarding the door of the conference hall these two days, and has frequent contact with journalists from North China, and is familiar with each other, often drinking and chatting together, and has a good relationship.

Ning Zhiheng waved his hand and gestured, the two of them sat opposite each other on the sofa, and asked with a smile: "How is it? Have you gained anything in the past two days?"

Hidemi Matsuhira smiled, and he looked forward and said mysteriously: "It's really a bit of gain. These people are amazing. Everyone is well-informed, and I have benefited a lot!"

What Hidemi Matsuhira is referring to is of course the journalists. These people are actually intelligence officials with Japanese intelligence background behind them.

Ning Zhiheng was also interested and asked, "What news is there? Let's hear it!"

"The talks have been going on for three days and have now entered the substantive stage. It is said that several secret agreements have been reached. Some insiders revealed that the Provisional Government of North China was reorganized into the North China Government Affairs Committee, Wang Shulu was appointed as the chairman, and Liang Hongzhi was appointed as the supervisory president of one of the five courts. The meeting was progressing very smoothly."

When Ning Zhiheng heard this, he didn't care. These were all open news and would be officially announced at the end of the conference. They were not considered confidential. However, the people who can be found out now can be considered powerful. It seems that these intelligence personnel still have some energy!

Matsuhira Hidemi looked at Ning Zhiheng's reaction indifferently and knew that news at this level would not be of interest to a person like Ning Zhiheng.

He coughed lightly, lowered his voice and said again: "There is another news, this is definitely a big news!"

Ning Zhiheng glanced at Hikari Matsuhira, and did not say anything, signaling him to continue.

"Zou Chengbin, the confidant beside Wang Shulu, was arrested by the Special High School!"

"What?" Ning Zhiheng straightened up suddenly, without any concealing the shock on his face. Zou Chengbin is an important member of the North China Provisional Government. He has a very high status and is also a confidant promoted by Wang Shulu. How could such a person be suddenly arrested by the Japanese Special High School? What exactly happened in the middle?

Ning Zhiheng was shocked and puzzled. Could this person’s true identity be his own comrade? If so, it would be a shocking event.

Seeing Ning Zhiheng's surprised look, Matsuhira Hideshi couldn't help but feel a little proud. He knew that as soon as the news came out, no one could be calm as usual. He continued: "Zou Chengbin has a special identity. He was originally the main person involved in the talks, but he has not appeared once in the past three days, and he was not even seen at the Dongyang Hotel where he was staying. This situation is very abnormal. My colleagues are intelligence officers who are familiar with the situation in North China. They soon discovered the problem. When they were having dinner together today, a colleague with a background in the special high school course told the truth. This person had been secretly arrested. It is said that this person is probably from the Military Control Commission."

Ning Zhiheng was completely shocked and actually had something to do with the Military Control Commission. He suddenly remembered something and asked again: "Did Zou Chengbin show up when the tripartite meeting held its opening ceremony?"

"No!" Matsuhira Hidemi shook her head and said affirmatively, "It is because he has not appeared from beginning to end that people noticed this point. Many people are asking about this news, and today I missed the news. If this news is true, good guy, such a high-level insider, the Military Control Commission would probably have suffered heavy losses!"

Ning Zhiheng suddenly realized that this was because of the screening operation at the opening ceremony. Zou Chengbin was suddenly absent, which led to being suspected by the Japanese. In this way, the subsequent investigation and arrest would not be surprising.

With the Japanese style and methods, even if Zou Chengbin is in a high position in the Provisional Government of North China, or even Wang Shulu's confidant, he will never escape this disaster!

But is this person an intelligence officer of the Military Control Commission? Why was he absent on the same day? Ning Zhiheng was not sure. The bureau chief was skillful and unfathomable. He must have many ace intelligence officers in his hands.

This situation is not surprising. Almost every intelligence leader has such a candidate, just like Ning Zhiheng also has aces like Gu Feng and Mu Yu, and only Ning Zhiheng knows their identities.

So is Zou Chengbin the trump card in the hands of the bureau? As Hidemi Matsuhei said, if it is true, if such a high-level intelligence officer fails, it is definitely a major loss to the intelligence front. The headquarters must be notified as soon as possible, so that the bureau can confirm as soon as possible and avoid unnecessary losses as much as possible.

Thinking of this, he looked at Matsuhira Hidemi's eyes becoming more and more gentle. Unexpectedly, he brought Matsuhira Hidemi to Qingdao out of the intention of winning over, but now he has become his source of information. In Qingdao, Ning Zhiheng lacks such personnel, Matsuhira Hidemi becomes more and more important.

He smiled at Matsuhira Hidemi in a friendly tone and said, "Matsuhira Jun, it seems that your trip to Qingdao has gained a lot! Iwai Jun is indeed a keen eye for people, and this time he will definitely be more satisfied with you!"

When Matsuhei Hideshi was quite happy when he heard this, he quickly said, "It was Fujiwara Jun's care that gave me this opportunity, but today I also have something to ask for!"

"oh!"

Ning Zhiheng waved his hand and said happily: "Mr. Matsuhira, you don't have to be polite between you and me. Please tell me if you have any requirements!"

"That's right! I have collected a lot of valuable materials in the past few days. I want to send them to Consul Iwai to report to him, but I don't have a communication station at hand. I want to borrow your commercial station. I wonder if it's inconvenient?"

So that's it! Hidemi Matsuhei is an intelligence officer at Iwai Mansion. It is also worth collecting some information to report to Iwai for credit.

Other journalists are intelligence officers from North China, so they don’t have to worry about the transmission of information. Only Hidemi Matsuhira can only help him here. No wonder he came here today and said so much to himself.

Ning Zhiheng laughed and replied readily: "There is no problem with this, please come with me!"

The two of them immediately stood up, left the room, and came to the room next to them, which was Yi Huaan's residence and also the place where the radio station was installed.

Seeing the two people coming in, Yi Huaan stood up to greet him, and Ning Zhiheng explained the situation to him.

Yi Huaan nodded immediately and turned around and invited Himi Matsuhei to a suite next to him, where there was a most advanced high-power radio station in the world.

Yi Huaan made a gesture of invitation and introduced: "Mon Matsuhira, this radio station has excellent stability and very good performance!"

Hidemi Matsuhira quickly bowed and replied, "Thank you, Akagi, just..."

Yi Huaan laughed, and he naturally knew what Matsuhira Hideshi meant, nodded and said, "I'm guarding outside, don't worry, please use it with confidence!"

After saying that, he turned around and retreated, and closed the door to death.

Seeing Yi Huaan go out, Matsuhira Hidemi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He looked up and down, left and right at the room. This place was obviously an independent and safe space. Matsuhira Hidemi came to the front of the radio station and sat down, carefully checked the radio station, nodded secretly, and then gradually started the operation.

The message he is going to send today is very important, including some inside information he found out, as well as some inside information about uncertain secret agreements, which of course will not be revealed to Fujiwara Tomohito.

The biggest advantage of using Fujiwara's commercial radio station is that you don't have to worry about the monitoring of Qingdao's intelligence department.

The intelligence departments here in Qingdao have very strict supervision of communications, especially in Japanese expatriates. The supervision is particularly strong. Using unregistered radio stations will be quickly monitored by the intelligence department, and someone will come to you at any time.

However, if you use Fujiwara Club’s radio station, you don’t have to worry about this issue. Matsuhei Hidemi was secretly proud. His intelligence behavior was covered by Fujiwara Club, and his security was greatly enhanced.
