The key was quickly copied. According to Qin Li's idea, Chang Hongling and Jiang Xinyu still needed to cooperate with each other. After all, they were opening a safe at the gendarmerie headquarters, and at least there needed to be a guard.
Regarding stealing information about the grain transportation team, Jiang Xinyu always believed that from a practical point of view, it was not worth taking such a big risk.
From Suixi to Yanjin, most of the places passed were occupied areas. No matter which marching route the Japanese army chose, it was impossible to encounter an ambush similar to the Battle of Pingxingguan.
Regardless of whether the National Army or the Communist Army sends troops to carry out a lightning raid, unless the grain transport team can be annihilated in a short time, there is no chance of success.
As an intelligence agent, Jiang Xinyu couldn't inquire too much about the above's intentions, but he always felt that this matter was not as simple as Qin Li said.
"Ring ring ring ring ring!" the phone rang.
Jiang Xinyu walked over and picked up the phone: "Hello, who is this?"
"Captain Jiang, this is Hattori Ayako." Chang Hongling's voice came on the phone.
Japanese culture originated from China. After a woman gets married, she must change her husband's surname to her husband's.
"Hello, Mrs. Hattori, what's the matter?"
"It's like this. You and Mina have been together for so long, and it's time to establish a relationship. So, as Mina's parent, I think we should sit down and discuss it."
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "Mrs. Hattori's identity changed so quickly, she now considers herself the head of Mina."
"Of course, we in Japan also believe that the eldest brother is the father. Hattori-kun is busy with official duties every day. I am Mina's sister-in-law, so naturally I have to worry about her marriage."
"Okay, I'll follow Mrs. Hattori's arrangements."
"I discussed it with Hattori-kun in the morning. At noon, when he has time, we can go to the military police station together and sit down to talk about this matter."
"Okay, I'll drive to pick you up at 11 o'clock."
"Okay, see you at noon."
"See you at noon."
Putting down the phone, Jiang Xinyu knew very well that Chang Hongling was going to take action today. Time waited for no one, and the grain transport team was probably halfway there.
Near noon, Jiang Xinyu drove to the door of Hattori Hikoo's house and honked the car horn several times. Chang Hongling should be able to see the car on the second floor.
After a while, Chang Hongling walked out of the yard, opened the rear door, got in, and said, "Let's go."
Jiang Xinyu turned the car around and drove towards the gendarmerie.
"Are you okay?" Jiang Xinyu glanced at Chang Hongling in the rearview mirror.
Chang Hongling forced a smile and said, "What's wrong with that? You can sacrifice your life for the sake of justice for the country and the people, and just treat yourself as a dead person."
Jiang Xinyu didn't ask any more questions. It was useless to ask about this kind of thing. Since the baby had already been born, no matter how much sympathy and comfort he said, it would not help.
"How to lure Hattori Hikoo out of the team headquarters? Do you have a plan?"
"At 11:30, there will be a fire in the military police kitchen. With Hattori Hikoo's style, he will definitely go and see the situation in person. The fastest round trip from the military headquarters to the kitchen is five minutes, which should be enough time!"
Hearing what she said, Jiang Xinyu understood that the hidden personnel buried in the gendarmerie must be secretly helping.
He thought for a while and said, "Will our people be traced because of the fire?"
Chang Hongling said: "The fire will not be too big and the damage caused will be limited. On the surface, it is just an accident. As long as there are no mistakes on our side, it is impossible for Hattori Hikoo to investigate the fire."
Ten minutes later, amid the salute from the gendarmerie guard at the entrance of the courtyard, the car slowly drove into the courtyard.
There was a pot of freshly brewed tea on the coffee table at the team headquarters, several plates of various snacks and dried fruits, and even a plate of sushi.
Hattori Hikoo motioned Jiang Xinyu to sit down and said, "Mina said that you like the sushi she makes very much. I heard that you are coming today, so I specially asked me to bring some."
Chang Hongling covered her mouth and smiled: "If Hattori-kun hadn't stopped me, Mina would have followed."
Hattori Hikoo shook his head helplessly and said: "Mina is still a child and doesn't understand this kind of thing. She shouldn't get involved."
Jiang Xinyu said: "The thing that people like about Mui Ne is that
It’s her innocence and kindness.”
Chang Hongling originally only regarded this incident as an excuse. Otherwise, it would have been too "coincident" for her and Jiang Xinyu to appear at the gendarmerie headquarters at the same time. Once there was any mistake, it would be easy for people to associate with each other.
After hearing Jiang Xinyu's words, Chang Hongling had a mischievous idea. She picked up the teapot and filled several tea bowls, and said: "Captain Jiang, you also know that Mei Nai and I have known each other for many years. They are not sisters but are better than relatives."
Sister, she is willing to tell me whatever is on her mind."
Hattori Hikoo said with deep emotion: "When she was little, Mina would tell me first if she had anything to do. Now that she's grown up, she can't even ask."
Chang Hongling continued: "Especially now that we are sister-in-law, Mina has said something to me, so I already know what she is thinking, and she told me personally..."
There was a crash, and the door was opened with great force. Suzuki stood at the door and said, "Major, there's a fire!"
Hattori Hikoo was surprised, stood up and said, "Where is the fire?"
"It seems to be the kitchen..."
Hattori Hikoo walked out quickly without saying a word, followed closely by Suzuki.
In a courtyard building like the Gendarmerie, the houses are basically one after another. If it really burns down, it will not be a trivial matter.
Chang Hongling pointed to the door. Jiang Xinyu opened the door to a gap and peered out. As long as Hattori Hikoo came back or other people came to the team headquarters, he would be able to give an early warning.
Chang Hongling quickly came to the filing cabinet. After many observations, she already knew that there was a safe on the bottom floor of the cabinet door, where all the important documents of the Military Police were stored.
She took out the prepared key and inserted it into the lock, turned it clockwise twice, and heard the sound of "click! click!" The lock spring opened continuously. Then she reached out and pulled the handle of the safe, and the door opened.
Jiang Xinyu looked back and breathed a sigh of relief. He was also worried that the key was not prepared properly and could not open the safe. The second thing was that he was afraid that he could not insert it in and pull it out, which would be bad!
There were more than a dozen document bags in the safe, neatly placed inside. Following the lesson learned from the last time, Chang Hongling was very careful this time. She first checked the directory on the document bag.
When she saw the words "Military Affairs in Suixi" again, she immediately carefully took it out, opened the document bag, and browsed through the lines at a glance.
This type of intelligence does not require memorizing more content. The most important thing is to remember the marching route of the grain transport team, followed by the number of people and weapons. For a trained agent, this is not difficult.
Chang Hongling put the document bag back in place, took out her handkerchief and wiped the places she had touched to avoid leaving fingerprints, then locked the safe and gently pulled out the key.
