In a room at the Japanese Consulate in Hong Kong, two middle-aged men were sitting opposite each other and talking in a low voice.

The slightly younger man is strong and fat, but his face is a little pale, his eyes are deeply concave, and there are a few bloodshots in his eyes. Obviously, his complexion is very bad these two days and he lacks rest. This person is Hidehiko Suzuki, the military officer at the consulate.

The person opposite him had a good appearance and neat eyebrows. If Ning Zhiheng was present, he could recognize him at a glance. This person was Major General Takao Harada from the General Staff of the Japanese Invasion of China.

At this time, Hidehiko Suzuki was in a low mood and said respectfully to Takao Harada: "General, the matter of the drawings now has a great impact. The British will definitely send someone to keep an eye on us. Your mission is important, so there is no problem. Please be more careful when entering and leaving the consulate."

Takao Harada also frowned. This time he came to Hong Kong to have another mission. Because Japan's strength in Hong Kong is weak, only the consulate can settle down, so he temporarily settled here. However, he never expected that before the work in his hand was completed, an emergency occurred and the drawings were lost. His actions have been greatly restricted these days.

However, he nodded slightly and said gently: "Suzuki, I will be more careful when I have caused you trouble. I think you haven't had a good rest these days. Is there no way to do the drawings?"

Suzuki Hidehiko shook her head when she heard this and said in a frustration: "There is no clue, mainly because we have too few clues in our hands and there is no direction to look for. I sent personnel to the Notting cruise last night, and the operation failed. None of the five personnel sent out came back. It seems that there is a lot of danger."

When Gango Harada heard this, he was silent for a moment and said softly: "You are indeed a bit hasty in doing this. The British are afraid that they will not understand our situation for a while, so they set up traps and tempted us to find the drawings for them. In this way, they all know our situation now."

Harada's tone was a bit tactful. Although he was also a powerful figure, after all, Suzuki Hidehiko was the intelligence leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and there was no subordinate relationship between the two, and some words could not be said too seriously.

Suzuki Hidehiko couldn't help but smile and spread her hands, "I'm urging several telegrams in China a day, and I'm strictly ordered me to retrieve the drawings as soon as possible. I have no choice but to venture into the Notting search, and the result..."

The two of them were speechless for a long time. After a long time, Takao Harada said: "This is the territory of the British after all. We are in danger, and the intelligence forces are difficult to compete with them, and it is not convenient to move. However, if you have been operating here for a long time, have you not developed some local forces? Or you can use them to do something for us. To be honest, the one who is most likely to find the drawings now is the British, and we must also grasp their movements."

Hidehiko Suzuki did not hide it and replied directly: "Hong Kong is different from the Chinese government. The British are very strong. They have no scruples about us. They have always had very deep restrictions on us, so that our work in Hong Kong is difficult to carry out. I have spent a lot of effort over the years to develop some peripheral forces. I will let them move and inquire about the news about the British."

At noon, Ning Zhiheng and his group got off the passenger ship at the Oriental Wharf in Hong Kong. Chen Xiang had been waiting here for a long time. Seeing them getting off the boat, he quickly came up.

Although Ning Zhiheng made some disguises, the changes were not too big. Moreover, Chen Xiang was very familiar with his superiors. In addition, Ning Zhiheng had guards from Ji Hongyi, Zuo Qiang and others, so Chen Xiang recognized them at a glance.

When the two sides met, Chen Xiang picked up the group into the car. This time Ning Zhiheng's actions in Hong Kong were top secret, so Chen Xiang did not take them to Ning Zhiheng's original residence according to Ning Zhiheng's order, but arranged another remote villa for them.

After arranging his subordinates, Ning Zhiheng called Ji Hongyi, Zuo Qiang, and Shen Xiang over to arrange the next step of work. He asked Chen Xiang directly: "Is there any news in the past two days?"

Just three days ago, after Ning Zhiheng received a report from He Siming, he issued a power order to Chen Xiang to closely monitor the changes in the situation in Hong Kong.

Chen Xiang quickly replied: "Not yet. We have no intelligence sources on the British side, and we don't know what progress they have made, but I arranged for personnel to monitor the dock where the Notting was placed. Just last night, our people reported that there was a gunfight in the dock in the early morning, and then a large number of armed personnel left. I guess the unknown forces had confronted the British, and the specific situation would be investigated."

Ning Zhiheng thought for a moment and quickly made a judgment that it should be the Japanese. The most anxious and unsustainable thing at the moment is the intelligence department of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They are eager to retrieve the drawings, so they can venture into the dock.

Ning Zhiheng was not sure what the British had gained this time, and he was secretly anxious, but he had no information channel to understand in depth.

He thought for a while and continued, "Now I will arrange the specific work tasks. First of all, we must focus on the movements of the British. They occupy the home field, have the most resources in their hands, and are most likely to find drawings. However, we have no source of information about their movements, so we can only do this through a third party. Hongyi, according to the previous contact with Yong Feng, contact her as soon as possible. This woman must have her own information channel in the British side, otherwise she would not have known so much inside story before."

"Yes! I'll contact her as soon as possible." Ji Hongyi nodded quickly. He had often dealt with Yong Feng in the Shanghai intelligence market and was familiar with each other, which was why Ning Zhiheng specially brought him to Hong Kong.

"Second, we need to know the movements of the Japanese."

Ning Zhiheng said this, looked at Chen Xiang, and then asked: "As far as I know, the Japanese are not strong in Hong Kong. The head of intelligence of their Ministry of Foreign Affairs is Suzuki Hidehiko, right?"

Chen Xiang nodded and said, "Yes, in Hong Kong, the British are very strict with the Japanese, and Hidehiko Suzuki is also suppressed, but he has not made any special moves, and both sides have been in peace."

"Then focus on him!" Ning Zhiheng ordered, "But be careful, what we can think of is that the British also want to get it. I guess there must be British surveillance near the Japanese consulate, and you can't get too close."

"Yes!" Chen Xiang nodded and took the order.

"This task is completed by you and Zuo Qiang. You are short of staff. This time we brought an action team to arrange the personnel and don't make any mistakes."

"yes!"

"Yes!" The two of them accepted the order in unison.

In fact, Ning Zhiheng knew in his heart that such surveillance would not have much effect. In this extraordinary period, Hidehiko Suzuki would be very cautious in his actions, and he was just a precaution.

"Third, we should also pay attention to the movements of Yue Mansion. Are there any movements on Yue Sheng these days?"

"It's true!" Chen Xiang replied, "Since he came to Hong Kong, Yue Sheng has been living in seclusion and rarely shows up. However, his appeal is still there, and he still has some local gangs and has some strength in the underworld. We found that these gang leaders have visited Yue Sheng in the past two days. If they are not wrong, Yue Sheng has arranged for them to inquire about the drawings."

Ning Zhiheng nodded. The reason why he arranged for Chen Xiang to monitor Yue Mansion was because he knew that the Military Intelligence Bureau did not have much power in Hong Kong. If he wanted to take any action, he would definitely let Yue Sheng, who lives in Hong Kong cooperate. After all, Yue Sheng's position in the world is there, and he also has a lot of power in his hands.

However, Ning Zhiheng's best result of coming to Hong Kong this time was to get the drawings first. In this way, he could not only hand in hand over to the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau and increase the bargaining chips for the Chongqing government and the British to negotiate. More importantly, he needed to copy the drawings, send a copy to the underground party, and complete the tasks assigned to him by the organization. In this way, all aspects could be satisfied, so in his heart, he did not want the military Intelligence Bureau to get the drawings first.

Of course, this is just the best idea. If the Military Control Commission succeeds in the end, Ning Zhiheng can only admit it. He can't really meet the people from the headquarters, so he should move quickly and ensure that the Japanese and British cannot get the drawings.

Ning Zhiheng asked: "Have you found anyone who looks familiar, especially those from our Military Commission?"

"We just monitored them for two days, and it's too short and haven't found it yet."

"Then continue to monitor, and select personnel who have served in the Nanjing headquarters to monitor. If you find that there are headquarters intelligence personnel, focus on monitoring and report to me immediately."

"yes!"

"Yes!" Chen Xiang and others agreed in unison. Although they didn't know why Ning Zhiheng ordered to monitor Yue Sheng, instead of clearly communicating with the headquarters and acting in joint operations, they knew that for a long time, there were many unknown thoughts between the Operations Second Division and the Military Command headquarters. They knew it well and did not want to delve into it. They just needed to obey the instructions of the seat.

But just in case, Ning Zhiheng still explained: "Yue Sheng is a man in the martial arts world after all, and his subordinates are not secretive. We can only act in secret. Moreover, my actions to Hong Kong must be kept confidential, otherwise it will involve a lot of troubles, so our actions are independent."
