Cheng Qianfan keenly observed that Zhou Ru's mood was obviously good.
He did not avoid Zhou Ru just now, but chose to draft a telegram and send it to Zhou Ru, which was a deliberate decision.
The main reason why the call from Hangzhou chose a higher level of confidentiality was that the message involved a large amount of money, which needed to be kept confidential.
In addition, Eguchi Hideya's name is also classified as confidential.
The message drafted by Cheng Qianfan blurred these two points.
Zhou Ru is a telegraph operator. To Cheng Qianfan, there is no doubt about Zhou Ru's importance.
He hopes to gradually conquer Zhou Ru and make him his confidant.
On the basis of ensuring safety, he released his trust in Zhou Ru and won him over step by step.
Zhou Ru knew that his hidden identity was in the patrol room, which in itself was one of his biggest secrets.
So, except when it comes to his Red Party identity, and the alternate identity of Kentaro Miyazaki that he's operating.
Cheng Qianfan will disclose other information to Zhou Ru as appropriate.
The telegraph operator must become a confidant, otherwise Cheng Qianfan will not feel at ease.
Judging from Zhou Ru's reaction, she felt his trust and was very happy. His operation was still effective.
In addition, he had been observing Zhou Ru's expression when he mentioned that he had discovered the Red Party.
Cheng Qianfan is well aware of the power of our party's underground work. Although the possibility of Zhou Ru being a latent member of the Red Party is extremely low, he cannot rule out this possibility.
Zhou Ru's expression did not change.

"Yamazaki-kun, tell me what you think." Inouehiko called Yamazaki Shuichi to talk alone.
"Director, I think this is an opportunity to show the military department the spirit of the warriors who are willing to die for the empire." Yamazaki Shuichi said.
Inoue Yan glanced at this person.
"Director, the warriors shed blood and sacrificed their lives for the empire, but they did not receive the treatment and attention they deserved." Shuichi Yamazaki gritted his teeth and continued, "This will chill the hearts of the warriors if the military does this."
"You will seize the opportunity." Inoue Yan said slowly.
"Director, this is the common voice of everyone." Shuichi Yamazaki bowed.
"You go down." Inouehiko nodded, "I heard the cry of the warriors."
"My subordinates resign."
Inoue Yan's face darkened.
The Inoue Mansion does dirty work for the empire, and the military attaches great importance to it, and the funds are always met immediately.
However, his subordinates have always been resentful.
They look forward to further recognition from the military:
They are not killers and thugs.
They hope to gain recognition as imperial agents, the kind that are registered.
In fact, this is what Inoue Yan has been working hard for.
Only when Inoue Mansion is officially recognized by the military department can he himself gain greater rights and promotions.
Inoue Yan had to admit that Yamazaki Shuichi was very capable and good at seizing opportunities.
Eguchi Hideya's loyalty and heroic actions are indeed worthy of praise.
I believe that the Imperial Military Department is also willing to publicize Eguchi Hideya's heroic and loyal behavior.
This helped the Inoue Mansion gain further recognition from the military.
All his subordinates obviously understood this, so as soon as Yamazaki Shuichi spoke up, he immediately won everyone's unanimous support.
Yu Gong and Inoue Yan support this operation.
Yamazaki Shuichi responded one by one, which aroused Inoue Yan's vigilance.
Inoue Mansion was founded by Inoue Hiko, which was the cornerstone for him to gain a foothold and seek greater power.
He will never allow anyone under his command to challenge his authority.
Maybe Yamazaki Shuichi has no such intention of 'replacing' him at the moment.
However, who can say for sure what will happen in the future.
As for Eguchi Hideya, Inouehiko shook his head. He once had some doubts about this rescued subordinate, but at present, the suspicion can basically be ruled out.
The Chinese people did not know that they were going to the execution ground. Eguchi faced death with emotion and shouted a battle cry. This cannot be faked.
Later, when he committed suicide, even Inouehiko felt relieved and satisfied to have such a loyal subordinate.
Eguchi Hideya's various performances, objectively speaking, can win applause and more recognition for Inoue Mansion.
A loyal and good young man.
…
Aunt Ma and Liu Ada still quarrel every day over whether there is too much or too little filling in the wontons.
In fact, the photo taken at a pan-fried stall has increased the awareness of the crisis, and the filling portion of Liu Ada's wontons has increased. At least Cheng Qianfan ate more shrimp skin.
The days passed very quickly and very slowly.
On this day, Cheng Qianfan handed over 3,500 French currency in cash to Peter.
"So much money?" Peter was greatly surprised. He didn't expect that those few boxes of inconspicuous sulfonamides could be so profitable.
"Old rules, you make half the net profit." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
This was an agreement between him and Peter. After selling the goods, the capital would be settled to Peter first. Peter would take half of the profit directly, and the remaining half would belong to Cheng Qianfan.
Taking this batch of sulfonamides as an example, Cheng Qianfan sold them at a "high price" of twenty yuan in French currency per box.
The proceeds from the sale were approximately 7,000 French currency.
This batch of sulfa was 'capital-free', so Cheng Qianfan directly handed over half of the 7,000 French currency to Peter.
The remaining 3,500 legal coins belong to Cheng Qianfan. Of course, the 'black market commission' paid to Xia Wenqiao and other expenses are also Cheng Qianfan's responsibility.
As for Xia Wenqiao, he received a bonus of 270 yuan in legal currency from this transaction.
Why two hundred and seventy yuan?
Cheng Qianfan's reply to Xia Wenqiao was that these drugs were the latest drugs in Europe, and the purchase price was as high as fifteen yuan in French currency per box.
The price is 20 yuan, and the profit per box is 5 yuan in French currency. Based on this calculation, the total profit is about 1,800 French currency.
A 15% draw is not just 280 legal coins!
Xia Wenqiao's side had no objection to this price, because they had never heard of this kind of medicine, so it was natural for them to take whatever Cheng Qianfan said.
Even so, Xia Wenqiao was very surprised by the three boxes of medicines and two hundred and eighty French coins.
Of course, Xia Wenqiao didn't know anything about this batch of drugs, and Qinggang had an extremely detailed price list for the regular product prices.
Yes, they even know the market price of goods better than some merchants.
…
In this way, Cheng Qianfan apparently made a net profit of approximately 3,000 French currency.
There are also twenty boxes of sulfa.
The 5,000 French currency remitted from the Secret Service Headquarters bought 250 boxes of sulfa. Cheng Qianfan withdrew 20 boxes of sulfa as war preparation drugs for the latent team. Both Yu Ping'an and Dai Chunfeng were a little angry about this.
', but in the end he didn't say anything.
As for the Red Party members, Cheng Qianfan estimated that they had eaten about forty or fifty boxes.
Cheng Qianfan did not show up during the entire transaction process. He arranged for Li Hao to be in charge.
Two words: safety.
He doesn't want to know which buyer is arranged by the Red Party, and he won't offer any price discounts to the Red Party. Everything will be conducted as a normal black market transaction operation.
Cheng Qianfan naturally knew how difficult it was for the Red Party to come up with close to one thousand French currency, but he chose to sit on the sidelines.
It is not his job to raise funds for the Red Party, and he will never participate in it.
However, Cheng Qianfan secretly consumed fifty boxes of sulfonamides at the price of twenty yuan per box. He would keep this batch of drugs in a safe place for emergency use.
He can secretly provide medicine to the Red Party when needed, but he will never take care of the Red Party during the sales process.
His current identity is that of a greedy black marketeer.
This is the guideline for his long-term spy career, and everything is carried out as a normal operation.
Only in this way can we ensure that we will not be implicated or suspected.
In this way, in this transaction, Cheng Qianfan actually made more than two thousand French currency and seventy boxes of sulfa, of which twenty boxes of sulfa were prepared by him for his latent team. The existence of the other fifty boxes of sulfa, except for himself,
Outside, no one knows.

On May 19, the "Japan-China Friendship Seminar" prepared by Eiichi Iwai, Deputy Consul General of the Consulate General of Japan in Shanghai, was held.
‘Miyazaki Kentaro’ was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. He set out from his residence in Hongkou District, hailed a rickshaw and headed to the venue.
