"There's no need to ask, of course..." As Cheng said, he glanced at Mingtai who was standing aside intentionally or unintentionally.
Li Qiang didn't want to but shook his head and smiled: "It's easy."
Acheng couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, and then he couldn't help but said: "You couldn't tell me that some of the guys outside are also targeting me, right?"
"Let me tell you this, according to my observation, there are not only Wang Manchun's spies outside, but also Fujita Yoshimasa's spies, and even Zhou Fohai's confidants and agents from No. 76 are also involved."
"Really or not? That's not true, is it? What you said is too exaggerated."
"Exaggeration? There are even more exaggerations!" At this point, Li Qiang glanced at the door cautiously, and then lowered his voice and continued, "I even doubt that not only the forces on the surface, but also the military and military The Red Party has probably already taken action. Now the street in front of our house has become a miniature version of Shanghai, with forces from all sides mixed together. So from now on, no matter what we do, the two of us must do our best. Just be extra careful!"
"You can rest assured about this, it's just that Sister's side..."
However, before Acheng could finish his words, he was stopped by Li Qiang, "I say Acheng, how many times have I told you not to underestimate my eldest sister? To tell you the truth, as early as two days ago In the past, when the first spy appeared outside our house, my eldest sister noticed it. Compared with her, you two are far behind!"
Although Li Qiang's words were unpleasant, they still succeeded in making the stone hanging in Cheng's heart fall to the ground.
At this moment, Mingtai finally couldn't help but said: "Okay, Brother Aqiang, Brother Acheng, now that we are surrounded by powerful enemies, we should not argue among ourselves. We should study first how to complete the assassination." It’s Zhang Ni’s mission!”
As soon as these words came out, Cheng couldn't help but said: "This is the task assigned to you by the 'madman', why did you drag me in?"
However, before he finished speaking, Li Qiang took out a translated telegram from his pocket, "Here, this is an urgent telegram from the headquarters. The telegram orders all teams to unconditionally cooperate with the 'Venom Bee's' action plan, not to mention you." Yes, even my team must cooperate obediently, so please stop complaining so much."
Hearing this, Ah Cheng couldn't help but sigh, "I'm not complaining, but now Zhang Xiaolin has become a frightened bird. Not only does he stay at home all day long, but Zhang Mansion also has countless bodyguards inside and Japanese military police outside. Guarding, insisting on taking action at this time, what is the difference between being willing to die!"
"The fact that you can say something like this means that you still don't know much about Zhang Ni! Let me tell you this, although Zhang Ni has become a frightened bird and is too scared to go out, his toxicity is hard to change, even if In such a crisis-ridden situation, he still relies on the personal protection of dozens of bodyguards and goes gambling every night, but the place of gambling has been changed from the casino on the fifth floor of Dah Sing Company to the 'Tom's'."
"Really or not? Then this guy's heart is too big, right?"
Li Qiang shrugged, "I don't know if he has a big heart or not, but he is indeed looking for death. Since he is looking for death himself, don't blame us for being rude."
"If that's true, that would be great!" Mingtai said excitedly after hearing this, "I will arrange manpower to closely monitor Zhang Ni's every move."
"That's not enough. We not only need to find out as soon as possible where he gets on the bus when he goes out, where he gets off, where he sits on the bus, which route he takes, how many bodyguards he takes with him, etc." Cheng added.
road.
"That's right!" Li Qiang on the side also said to Mingtai, "But as I said just now, there are countless pairs of eyes outside looking at us, so all you have to do is go to the flour mill on time every day
Go to work, and leave the task of monitoring Zhang Ni to me."
"Okay, then I'll go to the factory first." After saying that, Mingtai turned and left.
However, as soon as Mingtai left, Ah Cheng couldn't help but ask Li Qiang: "What Mingtang are you and that lunatic doing?"
Li Qiang didn't want to but just smiled and said mysteriously: "Don't worry, you will know when the time comes."
Seeing that Li Qiang had no intention of revealing anything to him, Acheng snorted and then forcibly drove Li Qiang out of the study. After carefully locking the study, he went out to work angrily.
However, as soon as Acheng arrived at the government office, he rushed into Minglou's office, called Minglou immediately, and reported the whole matter to him in detail.
But what he didn't expect was that Minglou was not surprised after hearing this. Instead, he was particularly calm, "Well, I understand. Is there anything else?"
Although he was very surprised by Minglou's calm reaction, Acheng still suppressed his inner confusion and continued: "There is one more thing. An urgent call was sent from the headquarters, ordering all teams in Shanghai to
Be sure to cooperate with the madman's action plan..."
"Well, that's not surprising. After all, the Death Plan is related to the battle situation in the entire Third War Zone, but I think this should be the result of A Qiang's fueling the flames behind the scenes. Is there any problem?"
"What I'm worried about is not this message, but Nightingale." Acheng said anxiously, "This message should have been sent last night, but I haven't received it until now. I'm worried..."
"You mean, Nightingale is in trouble?"
"It's very possible, do you want me to..."
"Don't!" Minglou interrupted Ah Cheng directly before he could finish his words, "Now is an extraordinary period. Once an unexpected situation occurs, it is very likely to disrupt the madman's plan."
"Then I can't just watch and do nothing, right?"
"That's better than letting the death plan go to waste! You are not allowed to take any action without my order, do you hear me?"
"……Yes, I understand."
At the same time, in a house across the street from the fireworks, Zhu Huiyin was wearing headphones, sitting in a room that had been converted into a monitoring room, concentrating on monitoring and recording the radio waves that came from the headphones from time to time.
Behind her, there was a pair of eyes constantly monitoring her every move, and the owner of these eyes was Zhang Jinlu, who had just been promoted by Li Shiqun to the director of the guest house at No. 55 Jisi Feier Road!
Although this woman is usually quiet, she is quite scheming. Otherwise, she would not have gained the appreciation of Li Shiqun, the new director of No. 76, without saying a word. She was promoted to the director of the guest house, on an equal footing with the captains of the action team.
.
The reason why he appeared here was nominally to help, but in fact it was clear that he was here to be Li Shiqun's spy.
Because of this, Zhu Huiyin did not report the message sent from the headquarters to Acheng in time.
However, while Zhu Huiyin was still racking her brains to think about how to report the contents of the message to Acheng as soon as possible, the door behind her was suddenly pushed open, and a figure walked in.
"Director Wang!" As soon as everyone in the room, including Zhang Jinlu, saw the visitor, they immediately put down their work, stood up and saluted him at attention.
Wang Manchun waved his hand to signal everyone to continue working, then walked directly to Zhu Huiyin and asked: "How is it? Is there any progress?"
While talking, he secretly glanced at Zhang Jinlu at the side with his peripheral vision.
"Not yet..." Zhu Huiyin replied truthfully, "For some reason, the other side has been very quiet in the past few days, and no suspicious persons have been found on the Jiang Brigade side."
However, although Zhu Huiyin said so, she quietly put a piece of paper into Wang Manchun's hand.
Wang Manchun put the piece of paper into his pocket and continued his performance: "Could it be that you accidentally exposed the truth and frightened the snake?"
"My subordinates and others are completely following your instructions. I dare not slack off in the slightest. Director Zhang can vouch for this. I also ask Director Wang to clarify."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Jinlu on the side also hurriedly agreed: "Yes, Director Wang. In the past few days, Team Leader Zhu and the others have been carrying out their tasks seriously and did not dare to slack off at all. You also know that these
The anti-Japanese elements are very cunning and extremely vigilant..."
Hearing this, Wang Manchun's face became a little better, "Since Director Zhang said so, I will believe you for the time being. Let's just stick with it for one more week. If there is no progress after one week, we will call it quits."
Well, there are still a lot of things waiting for you at the headquarters!"
"yes!"
It was night, and a black car drove quietly to the opposite side of Fireworks Street and stopped in a very hidden alley.
In a short time, a petite figure walked quickly to the car, opened the door and got in.
"Director Wang!"
Zhu Huiyin had just started to speak when she was interrupted by Wang Manchun raising her hand, "Let's make a long story short, otherwise it will definitely arouse the suspicion of Zhang."
"Yes!" Zhu Huiyin nodded quickly after hearing this, then took something out of her arms and handed it over.
Wang Manchun took it and saw that it was a photo, and the middle-aged woman carrying a vegetable basket in the photo made her squint unconsciously, because although there was only a back figure on it, she could basically
I am 100% certain that that woman is Aunt Gui, the lone wolf!
"This was taken by Brigade Jiang's men early this morning. It is said that this suspicious woman has been wandering around here for the third consecutive morning, so Brigade Jiang specially found a camera today and took pictures of her.
"
Before he could even finish his words, Wang Manchun cursed angrily: "Things that fail to succeed but fail to succeed, huh!"
"Director Wang knows this person? Is this person sent by the Special Higher Education Department? She has been acting blatantly there. The subordinates are worried that the anti-Japanese elements may have been alert for a long time. If they don't take immediate action,
I’m afraid our long-term plan to catch big fish is just..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Manchun snorted again and said angrily: "What's possible? I can now be 100% sure that those anti-Japanese elements must have sensed the danger, and maybe they had already secretly evacuated!"
"Then shall we..."
"No! You continue to maintain normalcy, but tell Brigade Lin that once you find the woman in the photo appears again, you will immediately take it down and send it to my office secretly."
"yes!"
There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, as soon as Cheng returned to the secretariat, he saw that the public office had been turned into a mess. Secretary Liu and several other secretaries were standing aside and whispering. Several military policemen were also in attendance.
In front of everyone, he openly checked all the items and documents at Secretary Chen's position.
Ah Cheng couldn't help being shocked when he saw this, and quickly asked Secretary Liu with a surprised look on his face: "What's wrong with Secretary Chen? What happened?"
"I don't know, I just heard someone said that Secretary Chen is an anti-Japanese element and was discovered by the Special High School..."
As soon as these words came out, Acheng's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly walked up to Takagi who was leading the team and asked urgently: "Mr. Takagi, I heard Secretary Liu said that Secretary Chen is an anti-Japanese element? Is it true or not?"
Takagi first looked at Acheng carefully, then sighed and said slowly: "Of course it's true. We are different from No. 76. We never arrest people casually. Secretary Chen is a well-hidden anti-Japanese element.
He has been working with you for so long, haven't you noticed anything unusual?"
Acheng scratched his head in embarrassment after hearing this, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, Mr. Takagi. After working together for so long, I really haven't found anything wrong with him. Secretary Chen is quite serious about his work on weekdays. Among colleagues,
We all get along well with each other, right, Secretary Liu?"
Secretary Liu nodded quickly in agreement.
"Is there a mistake? Secretary Chen has always been..."
"Mr. Acheng, it seems that you have been deceived by his superficial loyalty!" At this point, Takagi lowered his voice and said to Acheng, "To be honest, we only received a tip at the beginning, saying
Secretary Chen may be an anti-Japanese element, but when we went to his house for normal questioning, we were suddenly raided and caught us off guard. The entire military police class confessed in this way, and now the special high school class is still searching for him all over the city.
And those of his accomplices!"
"I really didn't see it." Acheng sighed, and Secretary Liu behind him also nodded.
Without thinking, Takagi suddenly asked out of the blue, "Mr. Acheng, from the look of you, you seem to get along very well with Secretary Chen, right?"
"Very harmonious." Cheng nodded quickly and replied truthfully.
"But he is now an anti-Japanese element recognized by Chief Fujita. The better the relationship between you and him, the easier it is to be suspected. In the recent period, the Special High School may conduct investigations on your secretariat.
For a collective summons, I hope you will be mentally prepared in advance and actively cooperate."
While saying this, Takagi's eyes glanced at Secretary Liu behind Acheng from time to time. Although such small movements were not easy to be noticed, they were keenly captured by Li Qiang, who was a bystander in the distance, and then revealed
