At this time, when Inoue Hiaki left Gongji Hospital and returned to the Hartong Building on Main Street, he knew very well that the three things he wanted to discuss with Mr. Du were indeed very important!
But right now, there is a more important thing! Takahashi's men actually secretly arrested a Chinese agent!
He repeatedly asked Takahashi whether the matter was kept confidential enough.
A rare look of pride appeared on Takahashi's face, "Mr. Inoue, it's absolutely confidential! I saw him coming out of Qiaojia Lane and judged that he was going to go through a small alley. I arranged people there in advance! They took advantage of him when he wasn't prepared.
, attacked him suddenly and knocked him unconscious with just one blow! There was no one around! No one could have imagined that this person was captured by us!"
Therefore, what Inoue was thinking about at this time was another matter.
This is a very stupid thing! A senior official of the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters finally found him through some tortuous and even private channels. He was asked to try to rescue an agent of the Japanese Army Intelligence Department named Naoki Takaji.
.
He did get reliable information that a Japanese agent was being held in the detention room of the Nanshi Police Station. Could it be that Naoki Takaji?
Is it possible for him to exchange this Chinese agent for Naoki Takaji? This is first. Secondly, how to exchange? The exchange location alone is very difficult to find!
Japanese agents and Chinese agents, if there is still a trace of trust between them, the sun will rise from the west! If there is no trust between the two sides, how can they exchange captured agents! They are both afraid of the other party setting a trap!
Therefore, Inoue is currently considering whether it is possible to ask Mr. Du to guarantee the exchange. He even considers that if Mr. Du is willing to guarantee the exchange, the three things he wants to discuss with Mr. Du next will not be a problem at all.
Got it!
He sat in the car, looking at the busy streets outside and the endless flow of pedestrians, and came to a conclusion in his heart: This is a test! He hoped Du Yuesen would not let this opportunity go!
However, even if Mr. Du is willing to be a guarantee, the entire exchange process must be carefully studied, and we must not draw water from a bamboo basket and lose everything!
He has to rush back to discuss with Takahashi. He may even have to discuss with Mr. Sato.
Exchange of captured agents with the Chinese side was something they had never done before! This was something that made him very worried!

At this time, the abandoned construction site on Dongmen Road was silent.
The sky is clear, like clean glass, still clear and transparent.
This is even more true when the choking dust gradually dissipates.
People often use a clear blue sky to describe a sky without any clouds, and it couldn't be more accurate.
However, under the clear glass-like sky, the fear and horror are even more terrifying!
Chen Zifeng and his two brothers lay scattered on the ground like dead people.
They held their guns in both hands, pointing them upward and to both sides in fear, fearing that someone might emerge from the dilapidated building without doors or windows, or from behind the building.
The surroundings were silent, except for the gentle whistling of the wind passing through the scaffolding.
It took a full three minutes for them to recover from their panic. They slowly sat up, still looking around cautiously.
Looking back on the scene just now, it was even more frightening. Fortunately, they were all extremely cautious, their nerves and muscles were like taut strings, ready to escape at any time. Fortunately, when Li San went to hold up the fir tree, Chen Zifeng gave him a special warning.
At that time, they all subconsciously looked up and saw in horror that the long springboard collapsed.
When the bricks poured down like a flood, they jumped away like rabbits suddenly frightened, fell on the broken bricks and rubble, and raised their guns to look around.
When they finally stood up from the ground, they felt severe pain all over their bodies and dust on their faces.
Chen Zifeng still raised the gun with both hands and whispered: "Pay attention to your surroundings!"
They patrolled around again and listened for any movement. They were surprised that there was no movement at all!
This is strange. What was that guy with the newspaper under his arm doing here? Where did he go? This is an abandoned construction site. Besides, so many bricks fell with such a loud noise, how could he not hear it?
?
Chen Zifeng gestured to his two brothers. They watched each other's backs, slowly walked into the empty, unbuilt building, and carefully observed the ground or corners.
However, they found no trace of anyone gathering or moving here.
Where did that guy go?
They slowly searched to the back of the construction site, and a broken wall blocked them in front of them.
The wall was old and mottled, and the top of the wall was covered with snake-like vines. Apart from these vines, there was no place to hide people nearby. They looked at each other, not understanding what this meant.
At this time, Li San made a gesture to ask Chen Zifeng to pay attention to the stack of bricks under the wall. The stack of bricks was stacked against the wall, but from low to high, as if it were a staircase. Chen Zifeng looked carefully and saw that there were indeed people who had stepped on the stack of bricks.
trace.
So, that guy climbed over the wall from here? Why?
Chen Zifeng slowly climbed onto the brick stack, cautiously stretched his head, and looked outside the wall.
Li San and another brother also climbed onto the brick stack and looked outside.
Chen Zifeng made a gesture, and the brother turned around and watched behind them.

Outside the wall, there are some messy trees, and beyond that, there is a small pond, about two acres of land. The bank of the pond is covered with weeds and bushes. Beyond the pond, there is an open space, which is quite flat. The open space
On one side, there is a tall bungalow, which seems to be a warehouse. On the other side, there is another tall wall, and the wooden door is tightly closed.
What is strange is that there are five or six people standing scattered beside the gate, in front of the warehouse or by the pond. They are walking back and forth and talking in low voices. The guy who bought the newspaper is talking to two people in casual clothes.
Li San whispered: "Team leader, that guy may have taken a shortcut from here." He gestured towards the pond.
Chen Zifeng took a closer look and found that there was indeed a faint trail beside the pond, extending from here to the open space over there.
"What do those people do?" Chen Zifeng was thinking about another question.
"They are in the same group! Look at the way they talk, they are all Japanese!" Li San whispered.
Chen Zifeng felt the same way. Those people held their hands in front of them, but when they spoke, their bodies leaned back exaggeratedly, and their feet moved back and forth. This is not the elegant style of Shanghainese people who lower their heads and whisper, but more like Japan.
people!
But the question is, what are they doing here? He guessed that something must be happening here!
He whispered: "We'll wait and see what they're going to do!"
An entire hour later, there was finally movement on the other side of the clearing. One of the people ran to the door and opened the wooden door.
Then, I saw some ragged porters with dark faces coming in. They used ropes and poles to carry heavy wooden boxes. A Japanese man directed the porters to place the wooden boxes in the middle of the open space.
Wooden boxes were continuously brought in and stacked together.
Chen Zifeng whispered: "Li San, go around and see where the wooden box was shipped from."
Li San responded and left quietly.
In that open space, more wooden boxes were brought in. More and more wooden boxes piled up in the open space.
The guy with the newspaper under his arm and a few others were watching.
At this time, when they spoke again, it was always in whispers and in a very mysterious manner.
The moving work was finally over, and the porters all left. The wooden door was closed, and the place was isolated from the outside again.
At this time, a Japanese man walked over and opened the door of the warehouse.
Some other people walked out of the gate. They were all wearing overalls, coarse cloth gloves, and a white towel tied on their heads. They pushed several carts over, loaded the wooden boxes on the carts, and then pulled
Go into the warehouse.
The people who were standing in the open space also went over to help, loading the wooden boxes onto the pallet.
Chen Zifeng could see that the wooden boxes were large and small, but they were quite heavy. Some boxes were not big, but two people had to lift them onto the cart. Another thing he could see clearly was that these people did not want outside porters to enter.
warehouse.
Damn it! There must be something in the warehouse that you don’t want people to see! What is it?
At this time, Li San finally came back. He seemed to be running in a hurry, sweating profusely, and was still panting when he climbed up the wall.
"What did you see?" Chen Zifeng asked quietly.
"Those boxes..." He was a little surprised when he saw the situation in front of the warehouse. "Have they finished moving? Those boxes were transported from a cargo ship. The ship is called 'Qingjin Maru', and it is a Japanese cargo ship."
"Is this place very close to the pier?" Chen Zifeng couldn't figure out the current location for a while.
"Yes. Not far from the door is Shiliupu Pier. Also, the crew members on the ships have been watching the porters and not allowing anyone to approach. I think there may be something wrong with those boxes!"
"Could it be arms?" Chen Zifeng asked doubtfully.
"Maybe. That's my guess too. But I can't say for sure."
Chen Zifeng looked back at Li San and another brother, hesitated and said, "I want to go back first and come back at night. It's best to find a way to get in and see clearly before talking."
But Li San seemed to have guessed what he really meant, with a weird smile on his lips, "Team leader, don't hesitate, we'll keep an eye here until night, and then we'll get in. If we leave, who knows if they will
A sentry will be set up here. If we act blindly, we might run into someone’s gun!”
In fact, this is exactly what Chen Zifeng had in mind.
If your ideas are put forward by the brothers below first, they will be more reliable in implementation.
He smiled, took out some money from his pocket, and handed it to another brother, "Go buy some food and come back, preferably with water. We'll wait here!" He looked at his watch, "It's afternoon now.
It’s half past five, we have to wait here for several hours! You can buy more food.”
