Nagayama Tetsuo successfully impressed Fukuda Akitake, making the military police captain change his mind and make great efforts to protect him.
However, Fukuda Akitake was not a fool, and he immediately put pressure on Nagayama Tetsuo to make this unlucky Japanese officer work for his life.
Although he saved his life, Fukuda Akitake's pressure made Nagayama Tetsuo feel that there was a sword of Damocles above his head, and he had to achieve results as soon as possible to get out of this situation.
Thinking of this, Yongshan Tiesheng stopped staying and immediately left the gendarmerie and returned to the East Asia Trading Company.
After all, he came to Fukuda Akitake just to find a way out. Now that he had achieved his goal, he naturally wanted to look for clues.
As for the East Asia Trading Company where the fire started, there will definitely be clues. This is also the only place where Yongshan Tiesheng can find clues.
When Yongshan Tiesheng left the gendarmerie, Zhang Hao and Wu Zhihe were also rushing towards Maoer Hutong.
Maoer Hutong, as the headquarters of the North China District, can be said to be very safe, because there are guards at the entrance and exit of the alley to pay attention to everything, and they are on duty 24 hours a day.
Except for the headquarters staff and the indigenous people here, any unfamiliar face will be noticed by them.
Even for safety reasons, except for a few of Li Yunsheng's confidants and the security personnel at the headquarters, the rest of the military agents did not know about this place.
Zhang Hao and Wu Zhihe both came back in the dead of night, so they were not noticed by anyone. They returned to the headquarters very smoothly and met with Li Yunsheng.
Because he was afraid of being noticed, Li Yunsheng had been waiting in the basement for the two people to return. After all, lighting a lamp in the middle of the night could easily be seen by the Japanese patrol team.
The first person to return was Zhang Hao, who reported very excitedly: "District Chief, things are going very well. The East Asia Trading House will definitely be destroyed by fire..."
Zhang Hao's tone was very excited, and he was confident in what he said. After all, the Japanese had given up fighting the fire, so the East Asia Trading House would definitely be burned to rubble.
"very good!"
Li Yunsheng was also very happy. After all, the order from the headquarters was completed, and it was completed without much effort.
What's more, burning down the East Asia Trading House also solved the problem of bacterial spread and made it impossible for the Japanese to use bacterial weapons in a short period of time.
After all, the production of bacterial weapons is not that easy. With Japan's small production capacity, it cannot achieve unlimited production.
"District Chief, Wu Zhihe, that kid is really awesome. After he achieved his goal, he was able to evacuate safely..."
Zhang Hao reported to Li Yunsheng what he had seen from a distance, with a rather happy tone in his voice.
After all, several of Li Yunsheng's confidants have been redeployed by the headquarters, resulting in a reduction in backbone strength.
Now that Wu Zhihe has shown great ability, Zhang Hao is naturally very happy and fortunate to have such a capable colleague.
After listening to Zhang Hao's words, Li Yunsheng nodded and said casually: "Wu Zhihe has good abilities and understands Japanese. He is indeed very good at dealing with the Japanese!"
The two communicated for a few minutes. Li Yunsheng frowned, then looked at the time and said with a hint of confusion: "Logically speaking, Wu Zhihe should be back. Did he encounter any trouble?"
The special agents of the military command have strong discipline, so under normal circumstances, Wu Zhihe should have returned.
After all, everything was planned and accidents would not happen easily, not to mention that Zhang Hao saw Wu Zhihe leave with his own eyes.
"District Chief, maybe that kid is in trouble. After all, after they rushed out, the Japanese were hot on their heels."
Zhang Hao gave an explanation. There was no hint of worry in his tone. Instead, he had a sense of watching the excitement, as if he was not afraid that something would happen to Wu Zhihe.
"Could it be that the Japanese pursuers have brought them trouble?"
Li Yunsheng was somewhat vigilant. After all, everything could go wrong. If Wu Zhihe really ran into trouble, the headquarters would also have to respond.
Seeing Li Yunsheng's expression, Zhang Hao immediately explained: "District Chief, you don't have to worry, the number of Japanese soldiers chasing Wu Zhihe is not large, and nothing will happen to him!"
As soon as Zhang Hao finished speaking, two footsteps came from above the basement.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Zhihe, dressed in Japanese military uniform, walked in from outside accompanied by security personnel.
"District Chief, I'm back!"
Wu Zhihe's tone was a bit tired, after all, he had just fought with the Japanese.
"Why is it so late?"
Li Yunsheng immediately asked, looking at Wu Zhihe's eyes with some confusion.
However, Wu Zhihe's body was very clean and there was no trace of blood, which made Li Yunsheng feel relieved. After all, this situation meant that they were not in big trouble.
"When we were retreating, the Japanese soldiers were in hot pursuit. In order to ensure our safety, I made a plan to kill the pursuers so that we would lose some time."
Wu Zhihe quickly told what happened before, his tone was very calm and there was no sign of panic.
"Are there any casualties among our people?"
It was nothing to ambush the pursuers. After all, Wu Zhihe was one of the leaders of the mission and had the right to make decisions on the fly.
Li Yunsheng's only worry was that if his men fought against the Japanese, there would be a large number of casualties.
After all, these subordinates are all direct descendants of Li Yunsheng, and he would be very distressed if any of them were lost.
What's more, if someone is injured by a gunshot, he has to hide from the Japanese, which is also a troublesome thing.
"Don't worry, district chief, we took advantage of the terrain to catch the Japanese by surprise, and no one was injured."
Wu Zhihe also knew what Li Yunsheng was worried about and immediately gave a reassuring answer.
"That's good!"
Li Yunsheng didn't say much. After all, when performing tasks, you need to adapt to circumstances, as long as you achieve the goal.
After several people discussed for a while, Li Yunsheng said: "We have made such a big noise, the Japanese will definitely go crazy, and we must deal with the next big search well..."
Li Yunsheng knew about this, which would definitely make the Japanese anxious, so he immediately made some arrangements.
After all, Fukuda Akitake has just taken office, and he will definitely investigate this matter strictly. If there is any negligence, the trouble will be big.
Zhang Hao and Wu Zhihe are both very shrewd people, so they naturally know what situations they will face.
Especially Zhang Hao, who has dealt with Japanese people a lot, can guess what the other party will do.
After the three people reached a consensus, they left the basement and returned to their respective houses, preparing for a large-scale search by the Japanese.
According to Li Yunsheng's estimation, the Japanese would put Tianjin under martial law in about an hour and start a large-scale search.
No matter how slow the Japanese move, the search will come within two hours.
But more than two hours passed, and there was still no movement from the Japanese side.
This situation surprised Li Yunsheng and he didn't know what the Japanese were doing.
If this operation had not been carried out personally by Zhang Hao and others, and Li Yunsheng had also seen the violent fires at the East Asia Trading House, he would have thought that tonight was uneventful.
At three o'clock in the evening, Li Yunsheng was already a little sleepy, and then he heard a noise outside.
As time went by, the commotion outside became louder and louder, and they were approaching Mao'er Alley. Only then did Li Yunsheng confirm that the Japanese's large-scale search was finally coming...
