His name is Masahiro Takahashi, an intelligence officer with the rank of major in the China Intelligence Section of the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters. He was ordered to contact the agents of the Naval Intelligence Department to exchange intelligence with each other and prepare for the next stage of the war.
Therefore, the bastard from the Army whom Kawakami Takesuke wanted to meet yesterday was referring to him.
He didn't show up yesterday because he discovered that the people sent by Kawakami had been targeted by agents from the Chinese intelligence agency!
He spent some money and asked a cripple to call the police on that person, but he didn't run away and was caught by Chinese agents!
Navy agents are just a bunch of imbeciles! He became very angry when he thought of this.
Today is another task, cutting off domestic anti-war alliances and contact with Chinese political forces!
He found out about this person named Asakura through someone from the Inoue Mansion. This person was trying to contact the anti-Japanese forces in China to undermine the East Asian Jihad. It was really abominable!
His idea was very simple. If a few Japanese ronin and Asakura fight, they will definitely be arrested by the Chinese police.
At that time, he can come forward and say that both parties in the fight are Japanese and the Japanese side should handle the matter. In this way, he can easily take away and control Asakura!
However, his plan was disrupted by the sudden appearance of two Chinese! Moreover, the Chinese police never showed up! Even more disgusting!
Now he understands that these two Chinese are also agents! So, did they meet by chance on a temporary mission here? Or do they have something to do with Asakura, and are they here to protect him? Or, maybe they have something to do with Asakura?
Did the little girl he was with have anything to do with the Chinese intelligence agency? He wasn't sure yet about these circumstances.
At this time, what he was thinking about was how to meet Takesuke Kawakami as soon as possible.
No matter how stupid Kawakami and his agents are, they are still Japanese agents! This is...
Second, it is certain that the Japanese army will expand the war in China. But whether it will be from North China or East China is currently a matter of great debate. But this is not what he worries about!
Therefore, third, his mission is to understand as soon as possible whether the preparations made by the Japanese Navy in Shanghai are conducive to future wars!
Now, after Takahashi saw Asakura, the little girl, and the two Chinese agents leaving, he also left quietly. He hoped to see Kawakami tonight.

Liao Ruolan, who has always been beautiful, gentle and soft-spoken, experienced such a melee for the first time in her life. She screamed at the top of her lungs and tried her best to pull away the Japanese ronin who suddenly appeared.
She was so desperate at that time! Mr. Asakura was going to be beaten to death by them!
Xiao Ancheng suddenly appeared and rescued her and Mr. Asakura, allowing her and Mr. Asakura to escape the crisis. At this time, she felt indescribable fatigue and weakness. This fatigue and weakness not only came from the body, but also
Comes from the heart.
She helped Mr. Asakura squeeze out of the crowd of onlookers, and when she left the station, she noticed that Mr. Asakura had been beaten very hard.
His face was black and blue, the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and it was difficult to walk.
She took out her handkerchief and asked him to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then asked him in a low voice how he was feeling.
Mr. Asakura reluctantly smiled at her, just shook his head and tried to walk forward.
She hailed a rickshaw on the road. The driver asked her where she was going.
She said: "Just go forward and I will show you the way. You will not be short of fare."
The coachman understood that these two guests must have special circumstances, so the fare would not be reduced. He pulled up the handlebar and ran forward.
Liao Ruolan was very nervous. The Japanese ronin always only ran rampant in the Japanese section of the public concession, but today they went to Zhabei Station in the Chinese border to beat people, and the person they beat was a Japanese. This is by no means an easy thing!
In a word, someone knows the whereabouts of her and Mr. Asakura!
So, was Mr. Asakura discovered, or was he under surveillance? She didn't know yet.
But one thing is certain, the instigator behind today’s fight must be someone from Japan!
The Chinese police or spies would definitely not do this! They would not instruct a few Japanese ronin to beat Mr. Asakura! They would just arrest him and that would be it!
In this way, Mr. Asakura may have been noticed by the Japanese agents in Shanghai as soon as he arrived in Shanghai!
Thinking of this, Liao Ruolan became worried. It was her responsibility to protect Mr. Asakura's safety!
Next, she gave instructions to the driver, and he continued to go through the small streets and alleys, turning here and there. Sometimes, she would look back and observe. She was finally convinced that at least she was safe now and was not being followed! This made her sigh in relief.
.
At this time, she couldn't help but think of Xiao Ancheng, the man who had been appearing in her dreams for the past two years! Oh my god! He didn't join the army, let alone go to the battlefield to fight the Japanese. Instead, he was working as a soldier here.
spy!
Oh my God! He was her enemy now!
When Liao Ruolan thought of this, her heart felt like it was being strangled by a wire. The pain was unbearable!
I thought you were a man of steel and iron, reliable throughout your life. Unexpectedly, you are living in a mud ditch, willing to degenerate! Ancheng, how could you degenerate like this! It makes me feel as desperate as my heart is broken!
Mr. Asakura also noticed her pale face and the painful look in her eyes, and asked softly: "Liao Sang, are you okay? Are you frightened?"
She shook her head and whispered: "I'm fine. Mr. Asakura, I'm just worried about you. You can't leave today, you may be in danger. I'll arrange for you to stay first, and wait for my notification on what to do next."
"
Mr. Asakura said: "I'm sorry, maybe I was negligent somewhere. Those ronin did it on purpose."
Liao Ruolan shook her head hastily, "Please don't say that. Our work is inherently in danger, and you also bear great risks. Please stay here with peace of mind, and I will send you to Peking safely."
She found a small hotel called Fuyue Hotel in a quiet side street on Aidoya Road. She settled Mr. Asakura in and told him to go out as little as possible. She tried to arrange for him to leave Shanghai as soon as possible.
After she settled Mr. Asakura, she stood in the small foyer of the hotel and looked outside through the window.
After she was sure that there was no suspicious person outside, she left the hotel.

Finally, Liao Ruolan decided to go to work first. Only by going to work could she contact Lao Huang.
The Yadong Radio Station where she works is also on Aidoya Road, not far from the hotel where Mr. Asakura lives. If there is any unexpected situation, she can notify him to leave as soon as possible.
Yadong Radio is a small private radio station with only a dozen people on board.
The time slots they broadcast are also very limited, mainly social news from 7 to 9 in the morning, 12 to 2 noon, and home life from 6 to 8 in the evening.
As for the broadcast period from 10 to 12 o'clock at night, it is completely filled by the host's jokes and on-the-spot performance.
Liao Ruolan has broadcast programs at noon and night, which are very popular with listeners. It is said that the advertising revenue is also considerable.
At exactly twelve o'clock at noon that day, Liao Ruolan was already sitting in the small broadcast room, wearing headphones, facing the microphone, and started broadcasting according to the manuscripts provided by the reporters.
Her voice is mellow and sweet, just listening to her voice is a pleasure.
The content of the manuscripts was very simple, even boring, but she tried her best to make them humorous and interesting.
At exactly one o'clock in the afternoon, she saw the editor in chief gesturing to her through the glass door and knew that her time period was over.
She said into the microphone: "Dear listeners, commercial break now."
Then he turns off the machine in front of him. After the commercial, other hosts will broadcast.

It was her last words that shocked Huang Hanhui who was far away on Sima Road.
Huang Hanhui lives in an old building in Taiji Lane, Sima Road, with two small rooms.
At this time, he was sitting at the table, gathering information he had obtained recently about Japan's plan to launch a war in Shanghai. All circumstances showed that the Japanese army would fight in Shanghai.
Once the war breaks out in Shanghai, the work of the entire party organization will also change. However, the final decision on how to change will have to wait for the leading comrades sent by the central government.
There was an old radio on his desk, which was playing the midday broadcast of Radio Yadong. The residents in this building were more complicated, so he turned the volume of the radio to the minimum.
At this moment, he heard what Liao Ruolan said: "Listeners, commercial break now."
