Luo Jiang immediately asked: "What's going on with that car?"
Chen Zifeng immediately said: "Yesterday afternoon, when we were observing the fortifications built by the Japanese army on Dongjiangwan Road, we saw this car speeding towards us. We had seen this car before, and it was a car used by Japanese spies. At that time, we didn't have time to think too much, so we drove
The driver was shot to death. Later, we saw two people jumping out of the car and getting into the alley. We also chased them into the alley. Unfortunately, we let them run away and no one was caught. That's all.
.”
Peng Shaoyong looked at them in surprise, his heart churning.
It turns out that Chen Zifeng did not go to Dongjiangwan Road to intercept Sato! They just met by chance! Damn, they are not that cunning! God, this makes it easier for me!
However, Luo Jiang next to him didn't think so. He heard something unusual from it!
Inoue Hiaki said that Sato got off the car on Baoshan Road! He got into the alley first! When the car was blocked when it drove to Dongjiangwan Road, there was only one driver in the car! But Chen Zifeng now said that the people in the car
After being blocked, I got out of the car and got into the alley! What does this difference mean?
Damn Chen Zifeng! He wanted to cover up his action of intercepting Sato on Dongjiangwan Road! This is number one!
Secondly, he predicted that I would come to inquire today! He had already made up this lie!
Third, the premise of Chen Zifeng’s prediction is that I can only get this news from the Japanese!
Damn Chen Zifeng! You are so cunning! You only need to be so tightly guarded! You are actually secretly detecting whether I have anything to do with the Japanese!
Also! Xiao Ancheng deliberately brought the topic to this car for this purpose!
I maintain secret contact with the Japanese. It was ordered by Director Dai in person and approved by the Chairman! How can I allow you two bastards to have random suspicions!
At this time, Luo Jiang's first thought was that these two bastards must die!
You think you are very cunning! Don’t you! You know nothing about life and death! I am more cunning than you! There will be many opportunities in the future! You don’t even know how you died!
This was Luo Jiang's decision in his heart. But he didn't reveal it on his face.
He nodded calmly and said: "Very good, you did a good job. If you encounter this kind of opportunity in the future, you must act resolutely! Eliminate one by one. In addition, I feel that your judgment on Sato is also reasonable. Best
Can you figure out the core purpose of the 'Demon Sword Project'? Zifeng, I'm waiting for your good news."
Chen Zifeng forced a smile, nodded and said, "Yes, let's keep working hard."
Luo Jiang was silent for a long time, and finally said: "I have some bad news for you. On the way to escort yesterday, Sato, whom you captured, was kidnapped by the Japanese!"
Chen Zifeng tried his best to pretend to be shocked, "What! How could this...this...how could..."
Luo Jiang shook his head sadly, "It's a pity that we are almost at Zhenru Town. The escorting national army was a little careless and the Japanese took advantage of it. Forget it, I don't want to talk about it anymore. Zifeng, you
The mission from now on is to continue looking for Sato! If we can’t catch him alive, we’ll kill him! Do you understand?”
Chen Zifeng stood at attention and said, "Yes, let's continue looking for Sato! If we can't catch him alive, we'll kill him!"

That afternoon, Luo Jiang remained silent on the way back by car. He was filled with anger!
Peng Shaoyong noticed that he was in a bad mood, but thought it was because of Sato's robbery.
He said: "Sir, Chen Zifeng went to Dongjiangwan Road yesterday and happened to meet..."
Unexpectedly, Luo Jiang shouted angrily: "Shut up! You stupid thing! What a coincidence! What nonsense!"
The anger on his face could no longer be hidden. He gritted his teeth again and again before speaking out his thoughts! He felt that Peng Shaoyong still lacked some political acumen. There were some things that he might not be able to understand!
On the other hand, it seems that Peng Shaoyong doesn't need to know about his idea of getting rid of Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng!
Everything in the world is like this, as long as you open your mouth, there will be no secrets! At least in this matter, he doesn't want to cause trouble for himself! Those two bastards! They must die!

At around three o'clock in the afternoon that day, Dai Li, the director of the Secret Service of Lixingshe, who was far away in Nanjing, took a car to Chairman Chiang's official residence, "Qilu" on Huangpu Road.
He brought with him a top-secret telegram he had just received. It was extremely important!
This telegram was sent from Japan. The person who sent the telegram was a senior agent of the Secret Service lurking in the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters, a person codenamed "Iron Buddha".
The main content of the telegram is:
Today (August 10) morning, the Japanese cabinet held an emergency meeting. During the meeting, Navy Minister Mitsumasa Yoneuchi and Army Minister Gen Sugiyama had a heated debate. The focus of the debate was whether to send troops to attack Shanghai. Mitsumasa Yoneuchi listed various advantages of sending troops to Shanghai, and finally concluded with
The "Demon Sword Plan" has been successfully implemented, and Sugiyama was convinced. The meeting decided to form the Shanghai Expeditionary Force with the 11th Division and the 3rd Division. The first day of mobilization will be August 15th, and the mobilization will be completed twenty days later. etc.
.
Chairman Chiang looked at the telegram and thought in silence for a long time.
He pointed to the telegram and asked: "What does this 'Demon Sword Plan' mean?"
Director Dai said respectfully: "Reporting to the Chairman, according to the information I have, this 'Demon Sword Plan' is a plan specially formulated by the Japanese Navy for the Shanghai operation, but it is not a combat plan. We have conducted multiple probes, but we have not yet found out about this plan.
The real purpose. We will continue to investigate."
Chairman Chiang glanced at him without comment. Then he lit the telegram and asked: "The Japanese army will start mobilizing on August 15th. The mobilization will take twenty days. Wouldn't it be September? Will it take that long?"
Director Dai crooked his lips and said with a smile: "The Japanese Army and Navy have deep conflicts. Although the Army promised to send troops to Shanghai, it still wants to make things difficult for the Navy and deliberately delay it. I estimate that once the war breaks out in Shanghai, the Japanese Army may not be able to do so.
Long time, landing troops will be dispatched soon."
Chairman Chiang asked again: "They have deep conflicts. Is it the 'Demon Sword Plan' that finally convinced the Army?"
At this moment, Director Dai felt a little restless. He didn't find out about such an important situation!
He whispered: "Yes."
Chairman Chiang stared at him again and said nothing.
He got up and walked to the door of another room and said to the secretary inside: "Please notify me immediately to convene a military committee combat meeting tomorrow morning." He turned around and walked a few steps, then turned back and said: "Notify Zhou and Ye of the CCP, too.
join."
Chairman Jiang nodded to Director Dai, "You can leave. We need to continue the investigation."
Director Dai quickly stood up, leaned over and said, "Yes! I will definitely find out!"
The Japanese Cabinet held an emergency meeting in the morning, and Chairman Chiang grasped the contents of the meeting that afternoon, which was very fast!
24-8
What no one expected was that Qiao Yanfang, who was far away in Peiping, also got the news that afternoon!
The railways from Shanghai to Nanjing and Nanjing to Peiping are in disrepair. They stop at stations and the trains crawl like snails.
She, Qiang Hu and others escorted Liao Ruolan and Mr. Asakura. They boarded the car on the night of the 8th and arrived at about seven o'clock this morning. They had been sitting there for more than thirty hours. When they got off the car, their backs and legs ached, and their faces were pale.
I'm almost falling apart from exhaustion.
Liao Ruolan looked at Mr. Asakura with concern. He is middle-aged and his physical condition is not as good as that of young people.
Mr. Asakura understood what she meant, smiled and said: "I'm okay, let's go quickly."
Following the tide of people, they finally poured out of Peiping Qianmen Railway Station.
They had a simple breakfast in a small restaurant. The next question was where to go.
Ordinarily, Qiao Yanfang and others have completed their mission by safely escorting Liao Ruolan and Mr. Asakura to Peking. According to Chen Zifeng's instructions, they should take the next bus back to Shanghai.
But Qiao Yanfang had her own little plan. The daunting journey was one of the reasons. If they took more than thirty hours of train ride back to Shanghai, they might be paralyzed.
More importantly, she wanted to follow Liao Ruolan and take the opportunity to get some more information. Miss Liao was a communist! Where she sent Mr. Asakura and who she met, she wanted to know!
When she came out of the small restaurant, she smiled and said: "Sister, I am a good person and will do my best. Wherever you want to go, I will take you there."
Liao Ruolan saw her little trick, but she didn't say anything. She also smiled and said, "Okay, let's go."
So, they followed each other on the road.
Liao Ruolan and Qiao Yanfang, still holding arms like sisters, walked at the front. Qiangang walked behind with his small suitcase, keeping a dozen steps away from them. Qianghu and Xiao Zhang walked behind.
Behind Mr. Asakura, they kept a distance of fifty meters. They watched their surroundings vigilantly to guard against unexpected situations.
Liao Ruolan would not take Miss Qiao to meet her comrades. She wanted to send Mr. Asakura to a Japanese friend's home first. What to do next could only be decided later.
But surprisingly, this Japanese friend was not at home.
Neighbors said that Mr. Aoki has been out for two days and they don’t know when he will come back.
It was already noon. They were standing in a secluded alley, with the sun shining on their sweaty faces.
As soon as Qiao Yanfang heard that the person living here was named Qingmu, she knew that this person was not a Communist! At least not the Chinese Communist Party! But she said nothing and just looked at Liao Ruolan quietly to see what she would do.
Liao Ruolan was very hesitant and didn't know what to do.
But Mr. Asakura was very calm and whispered: "Liao Sang, let's stay here first and take a rest."
Liao Ruolan looked at him but said nothing.
Mr. Asakura continued: "In the afternoon, I want to go to a place called Fuxi Teahouse. I have heard of this teahouse in Japan, and it is a place where Japanese people often go. I only know that it is in Houhai, where exactly is it?
I don’t know.”
"Is there anyone you know there?" Liao Ruolan asked quietly.
"No. However, there are many Japanese people there, so maybe we can find out what's going on." Mr. Asakura also whispered.
