Hearing Li Yunsheng say he would come back, Ogawa Haruko breathed a sigh of relief and her mood improved a little. Then she continued to ask: "Takeda-kun, how long will you be gone this time and when will you be back."
"Due to the mission, I don't know how much time it will take. As for when I can come back, I can't say for sure."
"Oh, that's right. Then I don't know which army Takeda-kun serves in, and where your home is."
Now that she had fallen in love with Li Yun, the two of them would be separated for a long time, so Ogawa Haruko couldn't care about anything else and began to ask about some specific situations.
Hearing what Ogawa Haruko said, Li Yunsheng immediately said: "The department I serve in needs to keep it secret, so I can't tell you. And because of the war, I have always had no fixed place to live. This time I came to Peking because of my mission, but I don't have to."
I thought I would meet Miss Haruko."
These words were what Li Yunsheng had thought about a long time ago. After all, his forged identity was that of an intelligence agency and could not be disclosed casually. If he really encountered any trouble, he would be less likely to arouse suspicion when he came to Ogawa Haruko.
Ogawa Haruko did not doubt Li Yunsheng's words. After all, this kind of situation is very common in Japan. Many military departments have strict confidentiality regulations, so she nodded and said with a little reluctance: "I didn't expect that we just met.
You will be leaving in a few days."
"Leaving is for the next time we meet, and the next time we meet will be better."
Hearing what Li Yunsheng said, Ogawa Haruko felt better, and then she said, "Then Takeda-kun will come back more often."
Li Yunsheng nodded, then took out a bankbook, handed it to Ogawa Haruko, and said softly: "This is my military salary and bonus. Now I leave it to you for safekeeping, which can be regarded as my heart."
Although Ogawa Haruko was shy, she still took it. When she saw that there were five thousand dollars in it, she couldn't help but be very surprised and asked nervously: "How do you have so much money?"
Li Yunsheng said with a smile: "I have been busy with military affairs in the past few years, so I have no chance to spend money, so I have accumulated so much."
Ogawa Haruko was even more satisfied. After all, a person who doesn't spend money recklessly is more reliable.
After that, the two chatted for a while, and then Li Yunsheng said goodbye.
Seeing that Li Yunsheng was about to leave, Ogawa Haruko was very reluctant and said with a slight cry: "Takeda-kun, you must come back soon."
Li Yunsheng nodded and left without hesitation.
The next morning, Li Yunsheng and his party went to the station and returned to Tianjin at two o'clock in the afternoon.
Seeing Li Yunsheng's return, Xu Bing immediately came over to report: "District Chief, the headquarters sent a telegram of commendation," and then handed over a telegram.
After reading the telegram, Li Yunsheng curled his lips in disdain, thinking that the position in the bureau was really deductible, so simply issuing a commendation order did not give him any benefits.
After reading all the contents, Li Yunsheng threw the telegram away and then asked: "How is the situation in Tianjin these days? Is there anything major happening?"
Xu Bing quickly replied: "It's been quiet these past few days, nothing major happened. However, there are a lot more spies in the city, and they seem to be looking for our whereabouts."
Li Yunsheng thought for a while and said very calmly: "This matter is not a big deal. Let us all stay calm for a few days and avoid the limelight."
Xu Bing immediately said: "Don't worry, district chief, our people are all in the concession, and the Japanese have not reached out yet."
Li Yunsheng nodded and continued to ask: "Have Wu Zhihe and Nakamura Kenxiong arrived in Tianjin?"
"Our people have gone to the agreed area to search, but their whereabouts have not been found. It is estimated that they have not arrived in Tianjin yet."
Hearing Xu Bing's words, Li Yunsheng frowned, thinking that judging from the time, these two people should have arrived in Tianjin. Could it be that something went wrong.
Since there are only a few of Wu Zhihe and Nakamura Takeo, and they set off from Shanghai, they did not carry a radio, so they cannot contact them now.
After a while, Li Yunsheng said calmly: "Maybe something happened to them, which delayed the time. Send people to continue searching at the agreed place and find them as soon as possible."
Xu Bing nodded, and then continued to report to Li Yunsheng what happened in the past few days.
At the same time, in a hotel in urban Tianjin, Wu Zhihe was also worried. He had been in Tianjin for three days. According to the agreement with Li Yunsheng, he should open an East Asia trading house in the city. At the beginning, everything
Everything went smoothly, but there was still something wrong. It was impossible to buy a suitable place to open a trading house. Because many Chinese people saw that Nakamura Keno was Japanese and directly refused the request to buy real estate.
This situation made Wu Zhihe very angry, but he was also somewhat relieved. After all, it was also an expression of patriotism for Chinese people to do this.
Because these people were all patriotic, Wu Zhihe did not want to force them, so the matter was delayed.
After thinking over and over for a while, Wu Zhihe finally made a decision and came to see Kenxiong Nakamura.
The current name of Nakamura Takeo is Kitano Kumaji. Although this identity is fake, even if the Japanese investigate carefully, they cannot find any problems.
Seeing Wu Zhihe coming, Kitano Xiong Er (hereafter called Kitano Xiong Er) said, "Have you made a decision?"
"Do it your way."
After hearing Wu Zhihe's words, Kitano Xiong Er said coldly: "We should have done this a long time ago, why waste so much time."
Wu Zhihe said coldly: "I tell you, it's okay to force them to sell their houses, but they must not kill anyone."
Kitano Xiong Er said indifferently: "Then why don't you do this."
Wu Zhihe said fiercely: "If I can do it, what else do I need from you?"
Seeing Wu Zhihe getting angry, Kitano Xiong Er said: "Okay, why are you so angry? In the worst case, I will tell them not to hurt anyone as much as possible."
Kitano Xiong Er is not very afraid of Wu Zhihe, because he knows that as long as his behavior is not excessive, this person can't do anything to him.
The method these two people said was very simple, which was to find the military police and use money to bribe the Japanese military police and ask them to come forward and forcibly purchase some real estate to build the East Asia Trading House.
However, this could only be done with the identity of a Japanese, so Wu Zhihe could only ask Kitano Xiongji to come forward.
So an hour later, Wu Zhihe and Kitano Kumaji appeared at the Japanese Military Police.
The gendarmerie has great power, even more powerful than the college in the area under its jurisdiction, so the two people were stopped as soon as they arrived in front of the door.
Seeing someone blocking him, Kitano Xiongji was not nervous. After all, he was also an agent, and there was no problem with his forged identity, so he said: "I, Kitano Xiongji, am a businessman who has returned from the United States. He wants to develop in Tianjin. I need something.
See your commander."
Although the Japanese military police were cruel to the people, they were not so cruel to their own compatriots. Seeing that Kitano Kumaji was well-dressed, they took him to an office.
There was a major in his mid-thirties in the office. He was a little fat and different from ordinary Japanese soldiers.
When he saw the military policemen coming in with two people, the major immediately asked, "What do you want?"
Kitano Kumaji said respectfully: "Your Excellency Major, my name is Kitano Kumaji. I have just returned from the United States. I want to trouble the Major with some matters."
The major frowned and said, "If you don't go to the police station if you have something to do, why do you come to our gendarmerie?"
Kitano Xiongji smiled and said: "The police station is full of Chinese people. What use can it be? Our own people are reliable, so I came to see the major."
After saying these words, Kitano Xiong Er handed over a handful of banknotes, all of which were green US dollars, totaling more than a thousand yuan.
Seeing these U.S. dollars, the major's eyes immediately lit up, and then he said: "Yes, you are a subject of the empire. If you have any trouble, you should naturally contact the gendarmerie. We will definitely help."
After saying that, he generously put away the U.S. dollars, waved his hand to let the soldiers who followed him out, and then asked: "Kitano-kun, do you need our help with anything?"
Kitano Xiongji said with a smile: "Your Excellency, I plan to open a trading house in Tianjin to purchase China's materials and export them to the United States to earn foreign exchange. This will be used to purchase materials that the empire lacks and support the empire's jihad.
If you want to open a trading house, you must have a suitable place, but now some Chinese people are ignorant and refuse to sell these places to me, so I came to you for help."
Upon hearing this trivial matter, the Major did not hesitate at all and said simply: "Baga, these Chinese people are really ignorant. I think they must have anti-Japanese thoughts. They may be anti-Japanese elements. They should all be arrested."
Don’t worry, I will send a pair of soldiers now to help you solve this matter and capture these people.”
Kitano Xiong Er immediately said: "Major, don't go too far. After all, I only want their houses and land, and I will also do business with the Chinese people in the future. If we arrest people in a big way, it will be detrimental to future business."
The major said casually: "Then it's up to you. You can do whatever you want, but if these Chinese people don't know what to do, they can catch the gendarmerie immediately."
Kitano Xiong Er nodded and complimented the major a few more times, which made the man very happy. He called a second lieutenant on the spot and ordered the second lieutenant to bring some Japanese military police to accompany Kitano Xiong Er on the mission.
Soon Kitano Xiong Er and the military police appeared at Cross Street. This was the place Wu Zhihe was interested in. Although this place was not the most prosperous location in Tianjin, it was still pretty good.
Since he had a dozen gendarmes with him, things went very smoothly. After all, the people were not stupid. When they saw the fierce Japanese gendarmes, they knew that their families would be ruined if they didn't sell their houses, so they all sold their houses to Kitano Kumaji.
In less than an hour, Kitano Kumaji successfully purchased six houses, all of which were located next to each other. One of them was a two-story house, which could be used as the headquarters of the East Asia Trading Company.
After finishing the matter, Kitano Kumaji gave each Japanese military policeman fifty dollars, and the second lieutenant who led the team also gave them three hundred dollars to express his gratitude to them.
The military policemen were naturally very happy to have made extra money, especially the second lieutenant who led the team. He directly told Kitano Xiong Er that if anything happened in the future, just go to him and take the people away.
