Hattori Hikoo picked up the phone: "Hello, this is me."
"Major, Madam went to Fujucheng today."
"Has anyone been in contact with her?"
"No."
"Where is she now?"
"I called a rickshaw and headed towards the gendarmerie."
"...What did she buy at Fujucheng?"
"I bought some clothes for children."
"Children's clothes?"
"yes."
"Okay, I understand, continue to monitor tomorrow and report in time!"
"yes!"
More than half an hour later, the door banged and Chang Hongling walked in from outside.
Hattori Hikoo said: "Ayako, why are you here?"
Chang Hongling put down the paper bag in her hand and said, "I went to Fujucheng and stopped by to see you."
"Oh, what did you buy?"
"you guess."
"candy?"
"Guess again."
"clothing?"
"Well, guess who the clothes are for?"
Hattori Hikoo smiled and said: "I got the military police unit...did you buy it for me?"
Chang Hongling took out a few small clothes from the paper bag, laid them out on a colorful table, and said, "How are they? Do they look good?"
"You bought so many children's clothes, are you going to give them away?"
Chang Hongling said coquettishly: "This is bought for our children."
"Our child? You, are you pregnant?" Hattori Hikoo said in surprise.
"It can't be that fast. I thought to myself that if I take medicine every day, it will probably be soon. I should prepare it earlier so as not to be in a hurry."
Hattori Hikoo laughed dumbly and said: "Then there is no need to be so anxious. Even if you are pregnant now, it will still take a long time to conceive in ten months."
"When I saw these little clothes, I really liked them, so I bought them."
Seeing Chang Hongling carefully arranging those small clothes, Hattori Hikoo gradually felt relieved. Kondo Akira had been monitoring her for half a month and found no problems, so why should he be suspicious of his wife.
"Ayako."
"What?"
Hattori Hikoo said seriously: "I formally apologize for my attitude towards you some time ago!"
Chang Hongling said: "It's nothing, everything is over. You are a grown man and you don't need to apologize to your wife."
"I have always opposed machismo. Families should be equal, so I must apologize!"
"Okay, I accept your apology." Chang Hongling walked up to Hattori Hikoo and reached out to dust off a piece of soot on her military uniform.
"Report!" Miyamoto's voice came from outside the door.
Chang Hongling broke away from Hattori Hikoo's hand and said softly: "You should be busy with business, I'm going home."
"I'll send a car to take you there."
"No, it's not far. I'll take a rickshaw back."
"good."
Hattori Hikoo sat back behind his desk and said, "Come in."
Miyamoto opened the door and walked in. He bowed to Chang Hongling who was walking out: "Mrs. Hattori."
Chang Hongling bowed her head slightly in greeting and walked out.
Following Jiang Xinyu's method, Chang Hongling stopped all activities and tried her best to appear like a housewife to confuse Hattori Hikoo.
So far, the effect is very good!
"What's going on?" Hattori Hikoo was in a happy mood and lit a cigarette.
Miyamoto took a step closer and said: "Major, the target at No. 8 Shuangta Street has appeared!"
"Oh? Who is he?"
"He is a middle-aged man about forty years old."
"Is he the one who caught the leopard?"
"No, Mr. Kondo compared the portraits."
"What was he doing at No. 8 Twin Towers Street?"
"I don't know. He opened the door with the key, went in with a suitcase, stayed inside for a few minutes and then came out."
"Where's Akira Kondo?"
"He was worried that the people below would not do their job well and miss your important event, so he personally led people to monitor Lu Ming."
"Very good! Second Lieutenant Miyamoto, go and notify Akira Kondo immediately. Don't alert the enemy in the first place. Keep this person under close surveillance for twenty hours!"
"Then...what should we do at No. 8 Shuangta Street?"
"Leave people to continue to guard, and use a two-pronged approach!"
"yes!"
…………
In the next few days, the phone at the gendarmerie headquarters started ringing one after another.
"Major, that man is cooking mutton in Donglaishun..."
"Major, he spent a whole day gambling at the treasure house..."
"He smoked big cigarettes in Tong Deshun..."
"He went to 18th Street and entered a brothel..."
Hattori Hikoo frowned after hearing this news. This did not look like the behavior of an intelligence agent. Rather, it looked like a nouveau riche who had never seen the world. He suddenly became rich and wished he could see everything.
"Major, he bought a ticket to Peking..."
Hattori Hikoo thought for a while and said: "Secretly arrest this person!"
"yes!"
An hour later, Akira Kondo came to the military police headquarters and said: "Major, we are here."
Hattori Hikoo said: "Bring him in!"
Kondo Akira waved to the door, and two of his men walked in carrying a sack, which obviously contained a struggling person.
Akira Kondo ordered: "Open!"
Two men opened the sack, revealing a tied-up middle-aged man with a rag in his mouth, looking at the Japanese officers in the room in horror.
Hattori Hikoo walked over, took off the rag from his mouth, and said, "Who are you?"
"Tai, Taijun, what are you talking about? I didn't steal or rob, why are you arresting me..." the middle-aged man said in a trembling voice.
"I ask again, who are you?" Hattori Hikoo repeated his words.
"My name is Zhao Toad...oh, no, no, no, my name is Zhao Guanghui."
"Zhao Guanghui, what do you do?"
"do nothing……"
"You don't have to eat if you don't do anything?"
Zhao Guanghui seemed to understand all of a sudden and said quickly: "Taijun, I know why you arrested me. I swear, I have quit Jinpen long ago."
"Speak more clearly!"
Zhao Guanghui said with a grimace: "I was arrested by the police twice in Peking and never dared to do it again. This time when I came to Yanjin, I really didn't do anything except deliver a box for someone. Taijun, I
It’s unjust.”
Hattori Hikoo pondered and said: "Are you from Peiping? Are you a thief? Is that what you mean?"
"Yes, yes, that's what it means."
"Are you a Communist in Peiping?"
Zhao Guanghui was stunned for a moment and said: "Communist Party? Taijun, you praise me too much. How can I be a Communist Party? I can't even write the word Communist Party."
From Zhao Guanghui's behavior in the past few days and the conversation just now, Hattori Hikoo had more or less guessed that this person was probably being used by the Communist Party.
"Why did you come to Yanjin?"
"Taijun, I'm not afraid of your jokes. During this period, I was worried about where to find a job. Then a gentleman came to me and offered me ten dollars to run an errand for him in Yanjin.
"
"For giving a suitcase, you can get ten dollars. Don't you think it's strange?"
"You all know..." Zhao Guanghui opened his mouth in surprise.
