After some analysis and some clues, Li Yunsheng quickly guessed that the Japanese military determined its position through radio signals.
With this conclusion, Li Yunsheng immediately made arrangements and asked Xu Bing to take the important documents and radio station to the Nowaski Hotel to take refuge.
The North China District Headquarters is also on standby and has cleaned up all suspicious traces, waiting for the Japanese search.
While Li Yunsheng was preparing for the aftermath, Kawasaki Yasuki also returned to Tianjin and asked Fukuda Akitake for instructions to search the Fukushima Street area, which was the former Japanese concession area.
"Kawasaki-kun, Tianjin has just been searched, and the Fukushima Street area is where our overseas Chinese gather. If we search there, the overseas Chinese will be dissatisfied."
Fukuda Mingwu did not agree immediately. After all, there have been a lot of incidents in Tianjin recently and there have been many searches, which has had some bad effects on the already unstable situation.
In particular, the Japanese military's current focus is on fighting the United States southward, and it needs stability at the rear so that it can provide more supplies.
Japanese expatriates were the main force in plundering Chinese people and providing supplies to the Japanese military, so Fukuda Akitake did not want to mess around.
"Your Excellency General, the radio team has detected an unknown radio signal near Fukushima Street.
Moreover, the abnormal signal that appeared some time ago was also in that area, so I guessed that there must be a stronghold of anti-Japanese elements hidden in the gathering place of Japanese expatriates.
"
Yasuken Kawasaki immediately explained that after all, it was not his decision as a major to search the gathering places of Japanese expatriates, and he had to obtain the consent of Fukuda Akitake.
After a pause, he continued: "And this stronghold is very likely to be related to the military commander. After all, several incidents have proven that military commanders are hidden among our expatriates."
"Okay, I agree with you!"
Military control was Fukuda Akitake's pet peeve, so Kawasaki Yasuken's words moved the military police captain.
However, when it comes to Japanese expatriates, Fukuda Akitake would not act haphazardly, so he warned: "As for our overseas Chinese, we cannot act haphazardly. Even if we want to arrest people, we must obtain evidence."
Although the Japanese military is acting recklessly and controlling the government, it still pays attention to its treatment of Japanese expatriates.
So Fukuda Akitake was worried that Kawasaki Yasuken would act randomly, so he gave an instruction.
"Hi!"
Yasuken Kawasaki nodded immediately, and then mobilized some military police to search the gathering place of Japanese expatriates.
It's completely dark now. Fukuda Akitake originally planned to start the search early tomorrow morning.
But Kawasaki Yasuki was worried that the incident at Dashanzhuang would soon spread to the city, so there would be no delay, so he found a reason to persuade Fukuda Akitake and started searching overnight.
The area around Fukushima Street is not large, and there are not many Japanese expatriates living there. After all, Tianjin fell only a few years ago, so it is not as safe as Northeast China.
Therefore, most Japanese expatriates live in Northeast China and rarely choose other places.
The Japanese expatriates in Tianjin are mostly businessmen and ronin. After all, of these two types of people, the former is there to make money and help the military plunder supplies.
The latter appeared in Tianjin in order to oppress the Chinese people and stir up trouble.
The Japanese military police acted quickly, and in less than half an hour, they arrived at the gathering place of Japanese expatriates.
However, because they were all compatriots, and because of Fukuda Akitake's order, the military police were very careful when conducting searches, and were not at all as barbaric as they were against Chinese people.
The North China District Headquarters did not attract any attention, and it was located in the middle of a gathering place for overseas Chinese, so it was not among the first to be searched.
However, when the Japanese military police began to search, Zhang Hao, who was paying attention to the situation outside, had already received the news immediately, so he came to report to Li Yunsheng.
"District Chief, the Japanese have already started searching. Fortunately, you made preparations in advance, otherwise we would be in big trouble this time."
Zhang Hao's tone was filled with a bit of luck. After all, if he wasn't prepared, the Japanese military police would definitely be in trouble if they found this place.
"Tell our people to do whatever they have to do, and I will handle everything."
This situation did not surprise Li Yunsheng, and it also proved his suspicion, so he was not worried at all.
Anyway, there are only six or seven people in the headquarters, so they are not very conspicuous.
Moreover, all suspicious traces have been removed, and there is no fear of Japanese military police raids.
"Don't worry, district chief, brothers are all ready!"
With the previous preparations, Zhang Hao was not worried. After all, this was not their first time dealing with the Japanese.
The Japanese military police's search was not fast. It was around ten o'clock before they arrived at the North China District Headquarters.
"Open the door, open the door..."
Soon, the Japanese military police shouted at the door and slapped the door, but the action was not heavy and not so brutal.
"who?"
Li Yunsheng was the first to ask and came to the door in person, planning to deal with the Japanese military police.
"Gendarme inspection!"
The voice of the Japanese soldier came from outside again, but his tone was a little impatient.
"Why did you check again..."
Li Yunsheng complained and opened the door.
After the door was opened, only a dozen Japanese soldiers, led by an army major, were standing neatly at the door.
These people were nothing, but a Japanese military policeman was holding a wolf dog in his hands, which surprised Li Yun.
"The gendarmerie is conducting a routine inspection, please cooperate!"
Immediately, a military policeman spoke, said this, and then entered the courtyard.
The Japanese military police first asked a few popular questions, and after being dealt with by Li Yunsheng, they began to search everywhere.
Li Yunsheng did not stop him, he just focused his attention on the Japanese major.
This Japanese major was very young, and Li Yunsheng had never seen him before. He couldn't help but wonder if this person could be Kawasaki Yasukuri...
Li Yunsheng's guess was correct. The Japanese major who led the team was Kawasaki Yasuki.
Because this area is the core area, and there are all single-family houses, and the people who live there are all wealthy people, so the Japanese major took action personally.
When the Japanese military police were searching, the other military agents were standing in the yard honestly, pretending to be ordinary, and there was nothing suspicious about them.
Even in order to be realistic, these agents pretended to be afraid of the military police and deliberately showed a shrinking look.
Yasuken Kawasaki also entered the yard. Perhaps out of respect for his identity, he did not take action himself, but just watched the Japanese military police search.
Because it was ready, there was nothing in the whole house. The Japanese military police searched for more than ten minutes and then came to report.
"Major, everything is normal. No suspicious items have been found."
Kawasaki Yasuki didn't see anything, so he nodded and said softly: "Open the way!"
After saying that, he planned to take people away.
However, when the Japanese Army Major walked in front of Li Yunsheng, he seemed to have noticed something and stopped.
After looking at Li Yunsheng first, and then at the other agents, Kawasaki Yasuken asked: "What do you do?"
Kawasaki Yasuki's tone was a bit serious, and his eyes also showed a bit of danger, which shocked Li Yunsheng and wondered what went wrong.
Coincidentally, at this time, the wolf dog barked at Li Yunsheng several times, making the atmosphere in the yard tense.
