The third person to get this information was Boss Dai, who had been holding back.
Wei Daming had already reported to him the situation of the code-breaking training class. He immediately understood the key point of the matter! Herbert wanted to use these code data as bargaining chips to obtain greater benefits!
In order to hire Mr. Herbert, Boss Dai spent ten thousand dollars! Anyone who hears this amount will be shocked!
It seems that Mr. Herbert wants more! This is what he can't stand!
"How far has their deciphering reached?" Boss Dai asked softly.
"Simple or shorter telegrams can already translate the main idea. It may take a while to be complete and clear." Director Wei said with a smile, "Director, I roughly understand what you mean."
"As long as you understand. When the time comes, you can just go to Gong Binsheng directly. I will explain it to him."
Director Wei smiled and nodded, "Okay, that's almost it. I'll contact him!"
To be honest, this is exactly what Director Wei is looking forward to! He wants to get those precious cryptographic information even more!

Generally speaking, people in these three areas are waiting for the password information to be more perfect, more comprehensive, and more valuable! They are all waiting with a relaxed and comfortable mood for the moment when things are ready!
People from all parties believe that once they take action, they can easily get it! Just like picking something out of a bag!
What's weird is that their strategies are basically the same, they are all waiting to "cut off the beard"! This is a way to save worry and effort! They are all like cheetahs hiding in the grass, waiting for opportunities!

Mr. Sato received the telegram from Takahashi and after two days of preparation, he boarded the train at Chaotianmen Pier and returned to Shanghai.
He was traveling on a passenger ship of the British Pacific Shipping Company. This type of ship is called a "fast ship" in the passenger transport industry because it has a new hull and a powerful new steam engine, making it the fastest ship.
Although it was a "fast ship" and the wind was smooth, Mr. Sato still took a full five days and five nights before arriving at the Shiliupu Pier in Shanghai. When the passenger ship arrived, a mature, steady and wise man like him was about to be
I'm going crazy!
Those who could take this boat were all rich people. But these rich people were like prisoners who had just been released, shouting at each other, carrying suitcases and parasols, and hurriedly walked off the "Kang Kuang"
The noisy gangway.
Although Mr. Sato was eager to get off the ship, he did not intend to compete with the passengers.
He stood quietly on the side of the ship and looked at the Shiliupu Pier, which he had not seen for more than a year, as if he was revisiting an old place.
He suddenly saw Takahashi standing next to a black car, looking at him from a distance.
At this time, Mr. Sato had a long-standing question in his mind: why did the Military Command fail when it sent a top-notch killer to Hanoi to assassinate Wang? What was the situation? Takahashi said in the telegram that he had gone to Hanoi to conduct an investigation.
!
Mr. Sato wants to know the reason so much! If Takahashi has the results of his investigation, he would want to know even more!
There were not many guests on the ship. Mr. Sato and his two men slowly walked down the gangway.
Takahashi came over to greet him, smiled, shook hands with him, and greeted him politely, then extended his hand to invite him to get in the car.

At this time, a dock worker who was packing up the cables beside the passenger ship quietly squinted his eyes at Mr. Sato. He kept watching the black car drive away from the dock, then hurriedly walked to the small wooden house next to the dock and grabbed his hand from the window.
Pick up the phone.
He whispered: "Sir, the old beggar Sato has arrived in Shanghai! Now! I saw it with my own eyes!"

The residence that Takahashi arranged for Mr. Sato was, of course, a large suite at the International Hotel, No. 1205.
At this time, they were sitting in the hotel room, taking off their outer clothes, washing their faces with cold water, making coffee, sitting side by side on the sofa, looking at each other. There was suspicion and scrutiny in their eyes.
Takahashi first showed a smile on his face, "Mr. Sato, I can probably guess what you are thinking."
Mr. Sato looked at it calmly, "Really? What am I thinking?"
"You're wondering why the second step of the 'Barrel Plan' failed!"
"Can you explain it? It makes me restless if I don't understand this matter."
"Okay then, Mr. Sato, I will explain it to you. Please sit more comfortably. It will take a long time to explain this failure clearly."
"The meeting won't be until tomorrow morning. I have plenty of time now!" Mr. Sato stared at Takahashi sharply.
He already felt at this time that the failure of the second step of the "Barrel Plan" might not be simple!
"Okay. But I don't know much about the process of Wang Jingwei's people leaving. Do you know something about it?"

Shanghai, Glock Road, Gu Yaozong's residence.
This station originally belonged to Peng Shaoyong. But after the "Qingjun Side" incident, Luo Jiang and Gong Binsheng moved the Shanghai area here. In this way, Peng Shaoyong had no choice but to find another place.
Today, Peng Shaoyong received an urgent call from Chief Gu and hurried to Glock Road.
At this time, Gu Yaozong was standing in front of Peng Shaoyong, staring at him sternly, "Brother Shaoyong, I just got the news that the old beggar Sato arrived in Shanghai! He just arrived at noon!"
Peng Shaoyong was shocked! The old beggar was a pain in his heart that he could never get rid of!
The old beggar went to Chongqing, and he had nothing to do! But Chief Gu said that the old beggar Sato came back, which really surprised him!
"Sir, is the information reliable?" he asked hoarsely, but his eyes were fixed on Chief Gu.
"Reliable! The brothers below have seen it with their own eyes!" Gu Yaozong said calmly.
"Sir, what do you think?"
"You must find a way, every way, to find out where Sato lives! What is the purpose of coming to Shanghai! This is your mission now! You must find a way quickly! I am waiting for your news!"
12-34
Peng Shaoyong left the Glock station and walked on the street outside, thinking about the situation in front of him!
The old beggar Sato has gone to Chongqing a long time ago! This has been confirmed by the headquarters! Now, what is he doing back in Shanghai? Report! Accept a new task! Or, there is something new!
Forget these guesses! It doesn’t matter if you can guess or not!
The key point is, what did the old beggar come to Shanghai for? This is the next best thing! Where does the old beggar live now? This can't be guessed by just guessing! He has to find a way to find it! Give Chief Gu an explanation!
Damn it, there are so many big hotels in Shanghai, how do I know where he lives!
At this time, he thought of Huang Hanhui!
The people over there are as pervasive as mercury leaking out of the ground! They are the best at doing this kind of thing!
After thinking about this clearly, he found a public phone on the roadside and dialed a number.
After the phone call was connected, he whispered: "Mom is in the hospital, please buy some snacks and go check it out!"
The person on the phone said, "Oh, I know!"
After that, both parties hung up the phone.

International Hotel, Room 1205.
At this time, Mr. Sato was sitting on the couch, squinting his eyes and looking at the white clouds floating outside the window.
He generally knew how Wang Jingwei and his men fled Chongqing. But he had to think about the specific details and time. He didn't want to look through his notebook in front of Takahashi, as if he didn't understand the situation!
He said softly: "The general situation is like this. If I am wrong somewhere, please point it out."
Takahashi smiled at him and stretched out his hand, gesturing for him to continue.
"Last year, on December 5, 1938, Zhou Fohai first flew to Kunming on the pretext of giving a lecture. On the same day, the Wang family had dismissed most of their servants."
"Is it secret?" Takahashi asked in surprise.
"What's the secret in dismissing the servants? The servants in the homes of various high-ranking officials are probably all talking about each other!"
Takahashi couldn't help but shook his head repeatedly, sighing in his heart. Those people ran away in secret! Such a serious thing, it was like child's play for those people!
Mr. Sato continued: "On December 8, Chen Chunpu also flew to Kunming. On the 12th, Mr. Wang's guard platoon leader Xu Shaoquan took more than a dozen people and escorted eight cars to Kunming. I judged that the car was
Some important belongings of the Wang family!"
"Oh, this movement is really too big! How could they do this!" Takahashi said with a click of his tongue.
"More than a dozen people, eight cars! They simply didn't run away, but went for a spring outing! On the 14th, eight people in total, including servants and several guards who were willing to stay and continue to serve the Wang family, left in four cars.
, go to Kunming! They are simply mobilizing troops! I got the information that they are going to Kunming first, and then to Hanoi! In addition, Tao Xisheng, Chen Gongbo, and Wang's nephew Wang Yanci are scheduled to go to Kunming on the 19th of that month!" Mr. Sato said here
The voice was quite harsh!
"Mr. Sato, where was Gao Zongwu at that time?"
"At that time, Gao Zongwu, Mei Siping and Zhou Longxiang were already in Hong Kong."
"I understand, please continue."
"The protagonists, Wang Jingwei and his wife, as well as some of their relatives and followers, boarded a plane at Chongqing Coralba Airport at 9:30 a.m. on December 18, 1938, and flew directly to Kunming!"
"Mr. Sato, is there anything happening in the Chinese government today?"
"There is no movement! Please don't be surprised, there is indeed no movement! Miss Kuriyama saw two people from the Chen Zifeng Military Police at the airport, but they just looked and did not take any action!"
"Don't you think this is strange? Don't Jiang and Dai know that Wang is leaving?"
"I believe they all knew it! But they didn't stop them! They just let them go!"
"Weird, isn't it?"
"Yes, of course I'm weird!"
"Do you understand Long Yun's attitude?" Takahashi continued to ask softly.
"I know something. On December 19, Long Yun sent a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek. The message was: 'Vice President Wang arrived in Yunnan yesterday. He felt unwell today and left Yunnan for Hanoi at 2:30 in the afternoon.'"
