With Xu Haichuan's cover, Jiang Xinyu touched the grenade and quickly shrank it into his sleeve.
At the same time, he took out a blue notebook from the safe with his other hand, turned around and said to Xu Haichuan, "Is this it?"
"That's right." Xu Haichuan took the notebook and handed it to Hattori Hikoo.
The contents of the notes were all numbers, which were actually written randomly by Xu Haichuan and placed in the safe as a bait for today's situation.
While Hattori Hikoo was flipping through his notebook and no one noticed him, Jiang Xinyu picked up the briefcase and quietly put the grenade in it. Then he looked at Xu Haichuan and touched his left pocket without leaving any trace.
"Major, these numbers are the list and address. It's as simple as translating a message." Xu Haichuan spoke, put his hand into his pocket, and immediately came across a folded note.
Hattori Hikoo closed his notebook and said: "Mr. Xu, as long as you can help us eradicate the Communist Party in Yanjin, I guarantee that you will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future!"
Xu Haichuan sighed and said, "When things have reached this point, I seem to have no other choice."
Hattori Hikoo waved his hand and ordered: "Close the team!"
Everyone walked out of the house one by one. Just as they reached the entrance of the courtyard, Xu Haichuan stopped and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I need to make it easier."
Wufuli was originally a British concession, and its sanitary conditions are much better than those in ordinary civilian areas. Sewage pipes crisscross the entire area, and every household has a standard toilet.
Hattori Hikoo said to the military policeman beside him: "Protect Mr. Xu!"
"Yes!" Several military policemen stood guard outside the toilet door with guns.
Xu Haichuan entered the toilet, immediately took out the note and read it twice, then tore it into pieces and threw it into the toilet. He stretched out his hand and pulled the water tank rope, and with a sound of "Boom!", the paper scraps were washed away without a trace.
The safe was originally used to store important documents. After learning that he was about to be transferred to Peking, Xu Haichuan moved everything away, leaving only his notebook and grenades.
Therefore, there is no doubt in the whole matter so far.
Returning to the military police headquarters, Hattori Hikoo wasted no time and asked Xu Haichuan to immediately translate the numbers in his notebook.
Xu Haichuan: "Find me a Thousand Character Classic published by Zhonghua Book Company!"
This request is extremely simple and can be purchased in any bookstore. After ten minutes, Suzuki placed the Thousand-Character Scripture in front of Xu Haichuan.
Xu Haichuan compared it carefully and carefully, and quickly wrote a line on the paper: Wang Yonggui, No. 20 Dalishu Hutong, Yong'an Street.
After finishing writing, Xu Haichuan put down his pen and said: "I have hardly contacted anyone directly in these years. I only know their code names. Without this code book, I really can't remember their names and addresses."
Hattori Hikoo: "Who is this Wang Yonggui?"
"I remember he should be the traffic officer in charge of Yangcun..." Xu Haichuan glanced at the calendar on the table, suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot one thing!"
Hattori Hikoo: "What's wrong?"
"Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning is the day when the Yanjin Party branch will hold a meeting. If I don't show up, they will definitely be aware of the danger. Even if these lists are translated, they won't be able to catch a few important people."
"Where are you meeting?"
"It's at the home of an Orion in Yangcun. He is an action worker."
"Why did you choose to hold the meeting in Yangcun?"
"The main reason is that there are too many spies in the city, and they will be targeted if they are not careful. Yangcun is connected in all directions, and it is easy to relocate even if they are discovered."
"oh……"
Hattori Hikoo looked at his watch and said, "It doesn't matter. You can translate the rest of the list. Tomorrow we will launch an arrest operation in Yangcun first, and we will bother you to lead the way then!"
"Of course that's no problem...I'm a little worried that if Major arrests him overnight, he might alert the enemy."
Hattori Hikoo thought for a long time and said: "I will not rush to capture the thief and capture the king. I will send people to monitor first, wait until Yangcun closes the net, and then take unified arrest action."
This was what Xu Haichuan was waiting for. He could not take the initiative to give suggestions, but could only guide Hattori Hikoo to make his own decisions, which would make it easier to paralyze the enemy's judgment.
In more than an hour, Xu Haichuan wrote out a list of thirty-one people and their addresses. In fact, except Wang Yonggui, all of them were fabricated.
He has lived in Yanjin for a long time, so it is not difficult to compile more than thirty real addresses. It is easy to explain if the names do not match up, and many intelligence agents use pseudonyms.
Hattori Hikoo took the list and read it again, and said, "I remember you said there were thirty-two people. How come there is one missing here?"
Xu Haichuan explained: "When I told you, I included the scabbard, and he was also on the list."
Jiang Xinyu stood aside and couldn't help but secretly admire that in order not to arouse the enemy's suspicion, there were only a few short words on the note handed to Xu Haichuan.
With just a few words, Xu Haichuan did the whole thing perfectly, even taking into account such details as adding an extra scabbard, which indeed showed his extraordinary ability.
Hattori Hikoo asked someone to make a copy of the list and said to Miyamoto: "Closely monitor the people on the list and report to me any situation at any time!"
"Yes!" Miyamoto took the list and walked out.
Hattori Hikoo looked at Jiang Xinyu and said: "Captain Jiang, you will be aggrieved tonight and stay in the military police station for one night. Tomorrow your detective team will cooperate with Second Lieutenant Miyamoto to arrest the Communist Party in the city!"
"yes!"
Everything was as expected by Jiang Xinyu. When he went to Yangcun to arrest important members of the Communist Party, Hattori Hikoo would definitely send the gendarmerie there even if he did not lead the team himself.
As for the thirty or so people in the city, because they live too spread out and require a large number of manpower, other secret service departments must assist.
…………
The next day, six o'clock in the morning.
"Report!" Second Lieutenant Miyamoto's voice came from outside the door.
"Come in." Hattori Hikoo also slept all night at the team headquarters and had just finished washing up.
Miyamoto hurriedly walked in and said: "Major, the news just came back. At five o'clock this morning, Wang Yonggui went to the Bao brothers' house."
"Oh? Where are the others now?"
"He and the Bao brothers jumped out of the back window and took a car to Baihe Pier."
Hattori Hikoo thought for a moment and said: "It seems that the Communist Party is sending someone to help the Bao brothers..."
"Major, there is a passenger ship bound for Hebei at seven o'clock. If we don't catch them, they will escape!"
"We can't arrest them. I promised Xu Haichuan to let them go. To arrest them now...is not appropriate."
"Then... just watch them run away?"
"As long as we catch other people and let go of two communist gangsters whose identities were exposed, it doesn't mean anything."
"What should Wang Yonggui do?"
"Wang Yonggui is just a traffic officer, insignificant..."
