At around four o'clock in the afternoon, when Chen Zifeng returned to Wenmo Street, Xiao Ancheng and Qiao Yanfang had already returned.
After Chen Zifeng broke up with Xiao Ancheng and Xiao Qiao, he used this time to carefully look at the surrounding environment and nearby roads of the Chongqing Garrison Headquarters. He had a vague feeling that this place was something he should pay attention to!
But, damn it, the surveillance chief is looking for death! He knows the dangers too well!
Now, the three of them are sitting in the radio station room, carefully reading the information Qiao Yanfang brought back.
But at this moment, Yang Sanqiang pushed open the door of the hut like a thief, put his head in, and looked at them with strange eyes.
Chen Zifeng could tell immediately that this guy had noticed something! He waved his hand and made another motion of closing the door.
Yang Sanqiang came in, carefully closed the door, and then whispered: "Zifeng, I saw Okamoto this morning!"
Chen Zifeng and the three of them were all shocked! Okamoto was in Chongqing, which meant that the old beggar, Takashi and Kawakami might also be in Chongqing! They were even definitely in Chongqing! They then thought that this might be related to the Japanese "Barrel Plan"
related!
"Where!" Chen Zifeng stared at him and asked immediately.
"It's very close to us! Exit Wenmo Lane from our place and walk northwest. Not too far away is Zaozi Lanya Zheng Street. Go straight along Shunzheng Street to the intersection, right at the intersection!"
Chen Zifeng took out his map and checked it. But there was no Zaozi Lanya Main Street on the map.
Yang Sanqiang unfolded his map. His map has already marked Zaozi Lan Yazheng Street! And the location of Wenmo Lane! Once these two places are marked, anyone can see how close they are!
Yang Sanqiang pointed at the map and said: "There is a tiger stove in the northeast corner of this intersection. Okamoto is standing next to the tiger stove with a thermos bottle! He seems to be waiting to turn on the water!"
Chen Zifeng stared and said, "Damn it, if he turns on the water here, it means they live nearby!"
Yang Sanqiang nodded and said: "Sure! What should we do!"
Chen Zifeng stood up suddenly, but immediately turned back to Yang Sanqiang and said: "Don't tell others about Okamoto! Just say that you saw a Japanese spy! Let's go! Let's go find it now!"
Xiao Ancheng said: "I guess if the Japanese really lived there, they would be gone now!"
Chen Zifeng immediately turned back and stared at Yang Sanqiang, "Okamoto saw you!"
Yang Sanqiang tilted his lips, "It's hard to say this. However, they are all experts! I guess Okamoto is also very alert!"
Chen Zifeng said: "I know! We are going now just to confirm!"
3-31
Ten minutes later, Chen Zifeng led seven or eight brothers in two groups to the intersection of Zaozi Lanya Main Street.
This area is like a rural area, with lush forests, undulating hills, and crowded with low and dilapidated houses. The so-called Zaozi Lanya Main Street is just a dirt road, with simple stone steps paving up and down the slopes.
Chen Zifeng and others had their hands behind their waists, ready to draw their guns at any time! They first looked at both ends of the main street. Both ends were dilapidated private houses. It was clear at a glance that the Japanese could not live here!
Next, they followed Yang Sanqiang's instructions, scattered on both sides of the small street, and walked towards Ma'anshan Village.
Walking not too far in, they saw a garden-style bungalow. Although the bungalow was old, it was very complete and could accommodate more than a dozen people, so there was no problem at all!
There was a low wall outside the bungalow. They separated and searched along the wall while observing the bungalows inside the wall.
It was very quiet inside, not a soul could be seen.
Chen Zifeng made a gesture, and Li San, like a civet cat, climbed over the wall, bent down and ran under the window of the bungalow, listening to the noise inside. After a while, he walked to the door and knocked lightly. Still no movement.
He pushed the door, and it opened silently. The silence inside the door was even more terrifying.
Li San picked up a stone and threw it in.
People outside the wall heard the sound of stones rolling on the wooden floor. But there was still no movement inside!
Chen Zifeng understood that there was indeed no one inside. He waved his hand, first climbed over the wall and walked towards the main door of the bungalow, and then entered.
The other brothers quickly followed up with guns in their hands, and started searching in all directions as soon as they entered the door!
3-32
A few minutes later, Chen Zifeng and others confirmed that there was no one in the bungalow! But there were signs of people living everywhere!
The tabletop and window sill have been wiped. The glass of water on the table is clean. The stove in the kitchen is still hot. There is a torn piece of paper thrown on the ground behind the door with Japanese writing on it!
All this to say, the Japanese do live here and have just left!
Chen Zifeng understood that after Okamoto saw Yang Sanqiang, he must have reported it to the old beggar! They left in a hurry!
Now that the houses are empty, there is nothing to see!
His mind suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but think that although they and the brothers had arrived in Chongqing, the old beggar, Takashi and Kawakami were still his opponents! Damn it! I still have a chance to catch the old beggar! By then,
I must first send a telegram to Chief Luo in Peiping to tell him the good news!
Thinking of this, Chen Zifeng was in a good mood and began to think about how to find and arrest the old beggar!
Leng Yue walked up to him silently, stared at him, and said softly: "Whose property is this?"
Chen Zifeng glanced at her and suddenly realized that this was an important clue! He should pursue it from here!
He didn't expect that this clue would soon yield results!
Xiao Ancheng and Qiao Yanfang inquired about nearby residents and received news that this garden house was owned by a wealthy businessman named Zhao Shifu!
The resident whispered to Xiao Ancheng: "Boss Zhao, the master of Yuzhong Hall in Hongmen! He is always rich!"
This situation surprised Chen Zifeng, and he immediately thought of Yang Qingshan from Hongmen in Wuhan! Miss Chi Jun said that Yang Qingshan had already come to Chongqing! Damn it, do I still have to deal with Yang Qingshan!
However, Chen Zifeng did not expect that although Kawakami left in a hurry, he left an informant nearby. This informant saw the whole process of Chen Zifeng rushing to the bungalow and even took photos!
3-33
Just an hour ago, Kawakami and Kuriyama led their men to evacuate the garden house in Ma'anshan Village in a hurry.
They called Bangbang on the street, picked up all their supplies, and were on their way soon.
It was daytime, and their group was very conspicuous walking on the street. Kawakami had to take some measures.
Kuriyama took one person and followed Okamoto at the front, which was regarded as exploring the way. Kawakami took one person and was responsible for escorting the sticks. The others walked in groups of two or three, scattered in front and behind, and had to pull
Keep some distance.
In addition, they don't dare to walk on the streets. There are too many pedestrians on the streets, and they might be noticed by someone! They can only walk on the small streets and alleys. Fortunately, Chongqing has countless small streets and alleys extending in all directions.
The last measure Kawakami took was to take a detour. In fact, he checked the map and found that it would be impossible without a detour. If he wanted to go to the place pointed out by Okamoto, there was no direct way!
They first went south through Zhongshan Road, then got into the small streets and alleys, meandering through them.
The first place they passed was Qixinggang. The concentration of dilapidated houses on Qixinggang was breathtaking. However, this is the starting point of the Chengdu-Chongqing Highway and has a long-distance bus station, so it is also the place with the highest concentration of shops and pedestrians.
They passed by the entrance of Consul Lane, and the houses inside were neat and exquisite. Kawakami couldn't help but think, it would be great if he could live here! But it is definitely impossible!
Along the way, Kawakami realized that the reason why Chongqing is a mountain city is the famous Eighteen Stairs!
The steep or gentle stone steps, winding and endless, going up step by step are truly amazing.
The Eighteen Staircase starts from Lower Chongqing, surrounded by dilapidated houses that look like poor people's caves. There are even stilted houses hanging on the cliff, as if they will collapse at any time. When you reach the top of the Eighteen Staircase, you will reach Upper Chongqing. There are rich people there.
address.
Kawakami and others continued walking eastward from the top of the eighteenth staircase. When it was getting dark, they finally arrived at Wangmiao Street.
3-34
Wangmiao Street still belongs to Lower Chongqing and is where the poor live.
After turning into Wangmiao Street, Okamoto touched Kuriyama's arm lightly, gestured forward, and whispered: "The man in the suit is the leader of the Chongqing Group of the Army Intelligence Department. His name is Ishida Takahiro."
Takahiro Ishida is of medium build, with thin cheeks and neatly parted hair. His suit is half-worn, and his shirt collar is open, revealing a string of black beads around his neck. I don’t know what material they are made of.
He smiled faintly, looked at Okamoto, and then paid attention to Kuriyama beside him. He slowly came towards him.
Okamoto introduced them respectfully.
Ishida looked at the sticks approaching from a distance and whispered: "Kuriyama-kun, that's your luggage. Let's talk about it after we send the things in."
The house that Ishida was looking for turned out to be a small food workshop that produced snacks such as rice krispie treats and maltose. The business had been very bad. The boss heard from Ishida that he wanted to rent his small workshop and all the attached buildings at a rent higher than his
The profit was much higher, so I immediately agreed.
Next, Kawakami and his men worked hard and finally brought all their equipment and supplies into the house, cleaned it again, and finally settled down.
Although this house is dilapidated, it has one good thing: there is sweetness everywhere, which makes the subordinates feel very happy.
Kawakami, Kuriyama and Ishida sat down in the house they entered, looked at each other, and didn't speak for a while.
After all, Kawakami and Kuriyama are from the Navy system, and Ishida, like Okamoto, is from the Army system. They sat together with a strange expression on their faces.
However, the first words Ishida said surprised Kawakami and Kuriyama.
He said: "Let me tell you something. Several of the main figures in the 'Barrel Project' have received the attention of China! They were noticed before they came to Chongqing! Therefore, I am ready to take some action. I
I have to go back and make some preparations, and I have to leave now. If there is anything else, please contact me Okamoto. Goodbye, both of you."?
