Chapter five hundred and eighteenth meeting signal
After a while, Li Yunsheng made some more explanations, arranged everything properly, separated from Shen Huanghe, and asked him to return to Peiping.
This trip to Tianjin, Shen Huanghe completely achieved its goal, and the harvest was more than expected, so I was naturally satisfied.
In particular, Li Yunsheng specifically stated that the North China District would be involved in tracking down the traitors, which made the Peiping station chief even more happy.
After the two separated, Li Yunsheng walked around the concession again and returned to his residence when he felt there was nothing wrong.
As for how Shen Huanghe returns to Peiping and his safety, Li Yunsheng is not worried at all. After all, this is not a dangerous matter.
What's more, unless it is a special situation, if one's own safety cannot be guaranteed, the Peiping station manager should be replaced.
As soon as he returned to his residence, Xu Bing reported to Li Yunsheng: "District Chief, a telegram was sent from the headquarters, saying that the information and the two people have arrived in Chongqing safely."
Li Yunsheng said with a smile: "That's good. With these information and two Japanese technicians, we should be able to successfully copy the Japanese yen."
Xu Bing also knew the whole story, so he agreed: "Yes, once this plan is successful, it will be of great help to the government and can even solve many financial problems."
Li Yunsheng nodded, and then asked: "By the way, are Zhang Hao and the others back?"
Hearing Li Yunsheng's words, Xu Bing frowned and said, "District Chief, there is no news about them yet. Is there any accident?"
Yesterday morning, Li Yunsheng received a safe telegram from Zhang Hao, saying that he would return immediately after handing over to the headquarters, but until now, these people have not returned.
Xu Bing's face was also a little solemn, because under normal circumstances, Zhang Hao and the others should have arrived in Tianjin. After all, the journey was not far, and it had already been more than a day.
As soon as Xu Bing finished speaking, Li Yunsheng also frowned, worried that something might go wrong with Zhang Hao and the others. After all, along the way, they had to pass through the front line of the confrontation between China and Japan, which was very dangerous.
Li Yunsheng believed and had confidence in Zhang Hao's ability, but he was still worried about an accident, so he immediately said: "Let me and our people be careful to avoid accidents."
Xu Bing said quickly: "Yes," then hesitated and suggested again: "District Chief, should we enter a state of emergency? After all, Zhang Hao knows too much about the situation. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid..."
At this point, Xu Bing stopped talking. After all, he knew that Li Yunsheng and Zhang Hao had a good relationship, so he was just doing his duty to remind them.
However, Xu Bing also believed in Zhang Hao's ability, so his tone was not so firm.
Li Yunsheng knew that what Xu Bing said was right. After all, when lurking behind enemy lines, one must be particularly cautious and be prepared for any slight disturbance.
However, the safety telegram sent from Zhang Hao took a little more than a day and was only three or four hours later than expected. This does not mean that something will definitely happen. After all, we may encounter special circumstances on the way back.
Thinking of this, Li Yunsheng was a little hesitant, because Zhang Hao knew too much about the situation. Once an emergency situation entered, many intelligence agents would have to move, and even many strongholds where he lived would have to be abandoned.
After thinking for more than ten minutes, Li Yunsheng said calmly: "Wait a minute. If Zhang Hao doesn't come back after three hours and there is no news, we will enter a state of emergency.
In addition, we will send people to keep an eye on the movements of the Japanese. If there is any abnormality, we will respond in advance..."
The reason why Li Yunsheng made this decision was that even if Zhang Hao and others were really arrested, the Japanese would not be able to open their mouths so quickly, and it would take at least several hours.
In addition, this is a concession, and Li Yunsheng is very powerful. Even if the Japanese know something about the situation, they must allocate most of their power to deal with themselves, so there will never be any movement.
After hearing Li Yunsheng's arrangement, Xu Bing nodded and immediately sent out several operators to keep an eye on the situation of the Japanese military police and make contingency preparations.
When everything was ready, Xu Bing said softly: "District Chief, I hope our worries are in vain."
Li Yunsheng said solemnly: "Don't worry too much. I think with Zhang Hao's ability, there won't be any problems. Maybe he encountered some trouble on the road!"
The reason why Li Yunsheng is confident is not blind confidence. After all, Zhang Hao also knows a few words of Japanese and has forged documents, so he can deal with it under normal circumstances.
However, as time went by, Li Yunsheng became more and more worried. After all, the longer the delay, the greater the possibility of problems.
After another two hours, even Li Yunsheng, who was very patient, became a little anxious, and notified several strongholds in the open to prepare for contingency.
Fortunately, all the worries were in vain. After another ten minutes, Li Yunsheng received news that Zhang Hao had returned with his people, and that the whole group came back intact.
After a few more minutes, Zhang Hao finally appeared in front of Li Yunsheng. As for the other operatives, they had already returned to another safe house.
As soon as Zhang Hao entered, Li Yunsheng couldn't wait to ask: "What's going on? Why did you come back so late?"
Although he believed in Zhang Hao's loyalty, Li Yunsheng still had to ask for the reason. After all, this was operational discipline.
If Zhang Hao hadn't come back with his men and the whole group was intact, I'm afraid they would have been isolated and examined. After all, you have to be very cautious during wartime.
Zhang Hao also knew that he had to explain clearly, so he immediately answered: "District Chief, there was no problem at first. The brothers passed the blockade safely and planned to enter Taiyuan directly.
But on the road to Taiyuan, we encountered a Japanese checkpoint, and something happened while waiting for the inspection, so we were delayed."
"Please tell me clearly what is going on."
Although Li Yunsheng's expression remained unchanged, his tone was very serious, because there were generally no problems at Japanese checkpoints. After all, anyone who dared to walk through the checkpoint would be prepared.
"District Chief, what's going on is that there is a caravan at the checkpoint. It originally had a special pass, but for some reason, the Japanese soldiers insisted on strict inspection. During this inspection, something went wrong, resulting in
We were also implicated and were left where we were, delayed for several hours."
Zhang Hao did not hesitate and immediately explained the situation. After all, no one could do anything about this kind of thing.
After hearing Zhang Hao's explanation, Li Yunsheng frowned. Although this incident was an accident and had nothing to do with the military on the surface, caravans that issued special passes were generally exempt from inspection. What was the reason for this time?
So he immediately asked: "What's going on with that caravan? What did the Japanese soldiers find out? Did they find anything special?"
Zhang Hao said calmly: "That caravan is from Taiyuan. I don't know the specific situation, but during the inspection, a large amount of contraband was found."
Hearing this situation, Li Yunsheng frowned. Because he dared to openly transport contraband and go through a checkpoint, he must have someone behind the scenes.
What's more, this caravan also has a special pass. It is obviously taking advantage of its privileges to smuggle in-demand materials and use them to make huge profits.
Although he didn't know the specific situation or who the owner of the caravan was, Li Yunsheng had a feeling that a storm was coming. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that he must find out the inside story of this matter.
After all, Zhang Hao made it clear that the caravan had a special pass and had to insist on inspection under such circumstances. One was that it had special information, which led to special treatment by the Japanese soldiers.
Another reason is that the Japanese suddenly stepped up inspections. If this happens, things will be in trouble.
Li Yunsheng asked about the specific situation again, and then ordered Zhang Hao to rest. Then he found Xu Bing, told the matter, and asked her to notify the intelligence agent to investigate the matter.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Li Yunsheng suddenly received the news that Keiko Matsushima asked to meet, and he couldn't help but feel moved.
Keiko Matsushima's status was not low. After all, she had a strong backer and used money to clear the way and bribed many Japanese officers. Therefore, Li Yunsheng did not delay and immediately went out to meet this woman.
Half an hour later, Li Yunsheng arrived near Matsushima Keiko's residence, but instead of going in directly, he went to a nearby grocery store first.
The grocery store is small. Because it is already past six o'clock and it is getting dark, the door of the grocery store is already closed.
Knocking gently on the door, the door was soon opened, and then a man in his forties stood at the door.
When the man saw Li Yunsheng, he didn't say anything. He quickly opened the door and looked outside cautiously.
Seeing the man's wary expression, Li Yunsheng smiled and entered the room without saying anything else.
As soon as the two people entered the door, Li Yunsheng asked: "What time did the signal come from over there, and was there any other movement?"
The man immediately said: "District Chief, around five o'clock, I went out to take a look and found a pot of chrysanthemums placed where you asked me to stare.
And I hadn't seen the pot of chrysanthemums two hours ago, so the time the signal was sent out should have been between three and five o'clock.
As for other situations, I haven't seen them, it's calm here and there are no problems."
The man was naturally an agent of the Military Command Bureau. Ever since Li Yunsheng met Matsushima Keiko, he had assigned a subordinate to keep an eye on the woman's actions and to observe the contact signals.
The reason for this is that Li Yunsheng does not trust Matsushima Keiko very much. Although the two of them cooperate, each of them gets what they need, but they are also on guard against each other.
Through long-term contact, Li Yunsheng deeply understood the character of Matsushima Keiko. This woman can be said to be a snake-hearted woman, and she has no bottom line. Such people can cooperate, but they must be careful, otherwise they will never know when.
She was sold.
That's why Li Yunsheng used this method to make Matsushima Keiko not aware of the situation of the military commander. If he wanted to contact him, he could only send a signal. Only in this way could he send someone to keep an eye on him to ensure safety.
