Agents of the Republic of China

Similarly, Lin Xiaotang is also preparing nervously. The messenger from Tokyo has no name, no age, and no information, and Shanghai has become a huge trap, waiting for his arrival. No matter how full the confidence is, I still have no confidence in this unknown battle.

"What, Huanyan is your daughter?" Lin Xiaotang looked at the shopkeeper Qian in disbelief.

Shopkeeper Qian nodded with a heavy expression.Huanyan is his biological daughter, the only daughter of the shopkeeper Qian and his wife. Huanyan grew up with her mother and lived in a small town in Shaoxing, while shopkeeper Qian lurks in Shanghai. The mother and daughter know nothing about the work he does. Knowing that during this period, Shopkeeper Qian seldom went home, and he did not return to his hometown to take care of the funeral until his mother passed away. Because of these reasons, Huanyan was full of hatred for her father since she was a child. She believed that his father was the biggest cause of this family's unhappiness The main reason.For this reason, Huanyan chose to use her mother's surname.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, affected by the rising anti-Japanese sentiment in the whole country, Huanyan resolutely interrupted her studies, joined the Communist Party, became a member of the military command, and was sent to Shanghai as a secret intelligence agent directly under the headquarters.And Shopkeeper Qian's department store is the contact point for her to report.

This was the first time Huanyan saw her father after her mother died, and only then did she understand his father's identity and work.When Shopkeeper Qian saw his daughter, the horror and self-blame in his heart were beyond words. He asked his superiors many times to transfer Huanyan behind his back behind his back, but he never succeeded because of his soft words and Huanyan's stubbornness.But this time, Huanyan found Shopkeeper Qian for her beloved, and begged him to help the two leave Shanghai, which made Shopkeeper Qian feel sad and happy.

The happy thing is that his daughter finally agreed to leave Shanghai, a place of right and wrong; the sad thing is that from now on, he will be separated from his daughter. He doesn't know if her daughter will forgive him, although he has no regrets about the work he has done. , but the guilt towards his wife and children can no longer be made up for.

After the shopkeeper Qian handed over the ticket to Huanyan, he didn't get the news that the two of them boarded the boat and left. This made him very anxious. He began to use all channels to inquire about his daughter's affairs, and finally he found some clues.Regarding An Yiming, shopkeeper Qian did not find out his real identity, but shopkeeper Qian also vaguely felt that this person was definitely not simple. Because of him, his daughter still couldn't leave Shanghai. The boss, Lin Xiaotang.

Seeing Lin Xiaotang's astonishment, this once again confirmed the speculation in Shopkeeper Qian's heart.The daughter was indeed involved in a huge matter.

Shopkeeper Qian squirmed behind him, wanting to ask what happened, but he didn't know how to speak when the words came to his lips.

Lin Xiaotang rubbed his chin with a wry smile, "Old Qian, you really gave me a huge problem!"

Lin Xiaotang did not hide anything about Lao Qian, a secret agent who had been at the bottom for a long time, not to mention that this matter involved his only family member, so Lao Qian should know the truth.Lin Xiaotang briefly described the ins and outs of the incident. Although he didn't reveal An Yiming's real identity, he guessed it quickly with the experience and vigilance of Shopkeeper Qian.

After listening to Lin Xiaotang's narration, Shopkeeper Qian was silent. After a long time, he suddenly raised his head, "When will the messenger arrive? Has An Yiming contacted him?"

"The ship will dock soon, I believe he will contact An Yiming immediately, maybe at this time, he has already contacted!" Lin Xiaotang replied.

"As soon as the ship docks, the crew will definitely disembark one after another. There will be two days of rest in between. We don't know who is the messenger, and the Japanese don't know either, but they will definitely monitor the suspects. For sure!" Lin Xiaotang added.

"Then can we find someone to replace the messenger and attract the attention of the Japanese?" Shopkeeper Qian thought carefully for a while.

"What do you mean?" Lin Xiaotang asked.

"I have an old buddy who is proficient in Japanese. If he comes to play a Japanese, he may be able to get away with it." Qian Treasurer said.

"But the information on the crew is fixed, how can we convince the Japanese that this person is the crew?" Lin Xiaotang asked back.

Shopkeeper Qian picked up two teacups and put them on the table. He quickly moved the teacups alternately with his hands. After going back and forth like this for more than ten times, he asked Lin Xiaotang, "Which one do you think is the one you used?"

Lin Xiaotang pondered what Shopkeeper Qian said, looked at the two teacups on the table, and suddenly understood what he meant, "What about the meeting place? You must know that if there is a change of person, not only the impostor, but also the connection Everyone in the lead is in danger."

Shopkeeper Qian smiled, "I am the connector, and the location is in my department store."

"You're crazy!" Lin Xiaotang was startled.

Shopkeeper Qian shook his head, "I'm old. I've stayed in Shanghai for so many years, and I've already forgotten what my hometown looks like. The only thing I care about is my daughter. As long as she can leave Shanghai safely and start a new life, anyone All the sacrifices are worth it, my old buddy is my life-and-death friend, he insists on accompanying me on the road, on this road, I will not be alone!"

Lin Xiaotang fell silent.After a long time, he said solemnly: "I will fully cooperate with you!"

……

In the thick fog, the cargo ship Yamatomaru slowly docked. Yuan Jianfeng stood on the high point of the pier, put down the binoculars in his hand, and said to Shinichi Yazawa beside him: "Your Excellency, the ship has docked. We'll be disembarking shortly, any instructions?"

Yazawa Shinichi's expression gradually became serious, "Let's start, the eight targets must be closely watched by people, and no mistakes can be made!"

"Yes!"

……

Katsura Nakagawa is the chief engineer of Yamato Maru. He has already been tired of living at sea for more than two months. Although he is already in his 40s, the bumpy seas for half his life have not made him familiar with and adapt to this life. On the contrary, Every time the ship docked, it was the most exciting moment for him.

As soon as his feet set foot on the land of the port, the down-to-earth feeling made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Nakagawa Guitaro casually listened to the instructions of the captain and the first mate, and couldn't wait to get off the ship. It was not his turn to be on duty this time, so he brought enough banknotes, called a rickshaw and rushed towards Hongkou.

Hongkou is a gathering place for Japanese people. The izakayas here are all opened by Japanese people. There is Nakagawa Guitaro’s favorite sake here. Of course, there are also gentle and gentle women from his hometown. Thinking of these, he didn’t notice the tightness behind him at all. Followed by a few figures like ghosts.

……

Inside the Kawasaki house, Nakagawa Katsuraro was already a little drunk, and the woman in kimono beside him was still persuading him to drink. His hands unscrupulously stretched into the open skirt of the woman, and while vigorously kneading the softness of his chest, he drank heavily. Sipping sake, he still mumbled "Happy" in his mouth.

The wooden sliding door opened slowly, and a loud sound came into the room. Nakagawa Katsura looked back with sleepy drunken eyes, and a figure bent over holding a tray came in to deliver wine.

Nakagawa Katsura grabbed the wine bottle on the tray, uncorked it and poured it into his mouth. The woman smiled coquettishly and clapped her hands in applause. On a whim, Nakagawa Katsura turned over the woman's body and brought his big mouth to the woman's lips. side, put the wine in his mouth into the woman's mouth.

Gradually, the two began to sway left and right, and their bodies slowly collapsed.

The servant who delivered the wine stepped forward quickly and kicked each of them in the waist, but there was no reaction.

The servant went to the window and knocked twice, two black shadows dressed as ronin came in, the three quickly took off Nakagawa Katsura's coat, helped him change into another set of clothes, and the three threw Nakashima Katsura out of the window , a ronin came out through the window, and the window was closed tightly.

The other ronin and the servant quickly took off their clothes. The servant put on Nakajima Katsura's clothes, and the ronin changed into the servant's clothes.

Before the ronin went out, he turned back and said to the servant: "It's up to you, the Japanese are watching in the yard, take care!"

The servant raised his head and showed a smiling face. It was the old man under the treasurer Qian. He nodded with a smile, and then shouted loudly in Japanese: "These wines are too bad to drink. How dare you use low-quality wine to buy them?" Perfunctory my uncle, I won’t drink with you anymore!”

The wooden door was pushed open with a swipe, and the ronin dressed as a servant was pushed out by the old man, who even kicked him in the ass.

The old man came out of the house reeking of alcohol, his hair was disheveled, covering most of his face, he staggered and threw a few banknotes in front of the boss, and went out cursing.

When he got into the rickshaw, the driver asked him where he was going with trepidation, and the old man said, "Zhabei!"

……

Huoyan and Lin Xiaotang stood in a corner not far away, watching the rickshaw disappear into the night, Huoyan asked worriedly: "Brother Seven, can this little trick fool the Japanese?"

Lin Xiaotang sighed, "Let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Besides, Lao Qian never asked me. This time he wants to trade his life for his daughter's safety. Open your eyes, look at his affectionate face, give him this chance!"

……

"Report to Your Excellency! One of the targets, Nakagawa Guitaro, came out of the izakaya in Hongkou. The other six targets remained unchanged. They stayed in a tavern and a casino respectively. In addition to buying some daily necessities in the French Concession, there was another target. Didn't disembark at all after that!"

The subordinates reported to Yazawa Shinichi.

Yazawa Shinichi looked at the map, "Where did Nakagawa Katsura go?"

"Looking at the direction, it should be Zhabei!"

"Zhabei?" Yazawa Shinichi frowned suddenly, "That's where the Chinese people gather, what did he go there for!"

Suddenly, Shinichi Yazawa was shocked, "Order the gendarmerie support troops to rush to Zhabei immediately and inform Yuan Jianfeng that they will continue to monitor the targets in the concession!"
