Agents of the Republic of China

Regarding Ma Qixiang's question, Lin Xiaotang was noncommittal. To be honest, he didn't know who the one who betrayed Shen Zui was, but Lin Xiaotang knew very well that the strife within the Nationalist Government most likely came from that old fellow Nie Shangyun.According to Bai Qi's reminder, Nie Shangyun was very dissatisfied with Lin Xiaotang's unauthorized decision to come to Nanjing, but at the same time, he hoped that Lin Xiaotang could smoothly control the Nanjing station and add an important weight to his game. Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, he It is very possible to do such a thing.

As for Shen Zui, as soon as he arrived in Nanjing, the news immediately reached Lin Xiaotang's ears.This is due to the work of Shang Huaishi and Ma Qixiang. Although the information at Nanjing Station has not yet reached the point where it can reach all directions, the information transmission among the market has already achieved initial results.

Ma Qixiang used his identity as a youth gang to quickly integrate the remaining gang forces in Nanjing. This is actually thanks to the Japanese. Before the fall of Nanjing, the Japanese had already mastered the detailed information of Nanjing's celebrities and gang leaders. Once the Japanese army entered Nanjing He controlled this group of people in a targeted manner in advance, confiscated all their properties, and killed and shut down all kinds of people. This also provided convenient conditions for Ma Qixiang to grasp the gang as quickly as possible.

After Shen Zui arrived in Nanjing, Lin Xiaotang knew exactly what he did and who he met, which was also the reason why he was particularly angry.Although he knew that the national government, the puppet government, and the Japanese were inextricably linked, but this time he saw with his own eyes that Shen most represented Dai Li to deal with these dirty things. The disgust and resentment in Lin Xiaotang's heart can be imagined Know.

"Send someone to keep an eye on him, don't contact him, let him hang out for a few days before talking!" Lin Xiaotang finally issued such an order.

……

It was already late at night, and the Japanese Gendarmerie Headquarters on Yihe Road in Nanjing was still brightly lit, but it was quiet. Occasionally, only the uniform footsteps of patrols and the heavy panting of wolf dogs were heard.

In a room on the second floor, Kawakami Tadaki, director of the Nanjing Special Higher Education Department, changed into a dark kimono. After carefully washing his hands with clean water, he carefully lit a charcoal fire to boil the water. After a while, the water boiled.

He deftly and gently puts tea and boiling water into the tea bowl, and stirs the tea soup until foamy with a bamboo teaspoon.

Kawakami held the tea bowl in his left hand and held the side of the tea bowl with five fingers in his right hand. He bent down slightly, and gently offered it to Duan Yuran who was sitting opposite.

Duan Yuran took the tea bowl with both hands, nodded his thanks, then turned the tea bowl three times, sipped lightly, drank slowly, and returned it with light and elegant movements.After that, he closed his eyes, as if he was savoring the aftertaste of the tea, and opened his eyes after a long time, "Uncle Chuan Shang, your Nanfang style tea art has improved a lot!"

On the other hand, Kawakami apologized, "Meiya, you're too much of an award. During the war, the originally elegant and solemn ceremony had to be simplified a lot. I'm really sorry!"

Duan Yuran smiled sweetly.

Chuan Shang moved the coffee table aside, solemnly bowed to Duan Yuran, Duan Yuran was startled, and moved his knees half a step away, "Uncle Chuan Shang, what do you mean?"

Kawakami sighed, "Ever since I sent you to Nanjing to do latent work, I have been worried about you. I didn't expect that when the city was broken, you would still be in danger. This was all caused by me. Later, I arranged for you to go to Changsha, Unexpectedly, you completed the task brilliantly and severely damaged the Linli training class of the military command. Although the empire's intelligence system in Hunan suffered heavy losses, the sacrifice was worthwhile. On the contrary, it was you who returned to Nanjing afterward, but still could not use the imperial Police officer Haneda Sorasa's face shows others, it's really hard work for you, Meiya!" After finishing speaking, she bowed deeply again.

Haneda Sora, that is Duan Yuran, frowned and bent down to return the gift. "Uncle Kawakami, I was raised by you, and your wish is an absolute order to me."

Kawakami nodded appreciatively, "Now the situation is gradually stabilizing. Nanjing has returned to its former prosperity after the vigorous rectification by us and No. 76. It is just around the corner to defeat the Chongqing government. Next, the empire will set its sights further afield."

Haneda Sora chewed on the meaning of Kawakami's words, and seemed to find something from his eyes full of excitement and longing, "Is it true that I have a new mission?"

"That's right," Kawakami waved his hand, "Your next stop is the center of Asia——Shanghai!"

Haneda Sora was a little uninterested, but he didn't show this emotion on his face, "Shanghai?"

Kawakami seemed very eager and didn't notice the flatness of Haneda Sora's voice at all, "Shanghai is the financial and commercial center of Asia. Although we have declared its occupation, large areas of concession areas are still controlled by the British, American and French countries. Here. We must be ready to take over, and by then, the Great Japanese Empire will be the king of Asia!"

Sora Haneda was a little surprised, "Is the empire going to declare war on Britain, the United States and France?"

It was only then that Kawakami realized his slip of the tongue, but he immediately felt relieved, "Miya, this is the highest-level secret. You also know that the empire has two strategic ideas of going north and going south. Since the outbreak of the war, these two factions have always been It's been arguing, but now the Southern Movement faction is clearly beginning to gain the upper hand, which is why I sent you to Shanghai."

"There is another reason." Kawakami put his hands in his sleeves with a smile, "How many times has that kid Shinichi mentioned to me that he is extremely dissatisfied with me sending you to perform dangerous missions. He has been appointed as the The person in charge of the Shanghai Special High School. The two of you grew up together as childhood sweethearts. In the past, I had to separate you for the great cause of the empire, but now, with such a good excuse, I am also very happy to be an adult!"

Haneda Sora's heart tightened, and that familiar figure suddenly jumped out from the darkness in her heart, "Shanghai, Shinichi, what about him, do you want to say goodbye to him like this?" She asked herself silently.

Kawakami was eloquent, "After you arrive in Shanghai, you will assist Shinichi Yazawa as my representative. On the one hand, you must collect as much information as possible from the British, American, and French countries, especially the concessions, and on the other hand, you must firmly control the situation. Number 76."

Kawakami sighed suddenly, "I didn't expect the Chinese people's enthusiasm for power. With our support, Li Shiqun rose rapidly, but his ambition expanded too fast. Dingmo Village became a decoration at No. 76. This is what we don't want What I would like to see is that his confidant Tang Huimin is in charge of Nanjing. Not long ago, he uncovered the spy organization of the Central Command in Nanjing, and has been invincible since then. We cannot tolerate this kind of situation."

Haneda Sora tried to concentrate, "Then what should I do?"

Kawakami shook his head, "Don't do anything, you and Shinichi Yazawa just need to keep an eye on Li Shiqun. As far as Nanjing is concerned, we will take measures to beat him up. Next, we will see how Li Shiqun behaves!"

……

For two days, Shen Zui wandered the streets for two full days, all his subordinates were martyred, and he lost contact with his superiors. During this period, he followed the method of communicating with Nanjing Station, and posted a message on the notice board in front of the Confucius Temple Police Station. A lost and found advertisement, but like a stone sinking into the sea, there is no response.

The first time he went deep into the enemy's rear to perform a mission, he encountered such a situation, which Shen Zui never thought of anyway.He was used to living a smooth life these years, and he really didn't have the opportunity to taste such a life.

He dared not enter hotels, hotels, restaurants, or even pawnshops. The luggage in the Hongchang Hotel, needless to say, was all cheaper than the dog bastards of No. 76, and he himself had only a few pitiful change.

The most important thing is that he has no certificate at all. The original certificate has been exposed, and if he uses it again, it will only be a dead end.But without a document, it will be a matter of time before he gets caught.

In desperation, he stomped his feet and gave all his clothes to a beggar on the side of the road, and from the beggar he got a set of tattered clothes exuding stench and foul smell.

In Nanjing, beggars seem to be the only ones who don’t need ID, but one thing is that beggars are not allowed to leave the city. If they want to leave the city, they must go to the puppet government’s relief agency to register.Ever since, Shen Zui became a mouse in the bellows, caught in a dilemma.

All the small change on his body was replaced by food. Since this morning, Shen Zui has tasted the feeling of being hungry. He has no choice but to follow groups of beggars in the streets and alleys. Occasionally, if he is lucky, You can also get a mouthful of rancid steamed buns or leftover rice.

In the afternoon, Shen most hungry was dizzy and couldn't walk anymore, so the cat rested under a tree by the street.Looking at the endless crowds on the street, Shen Zui suddenly had the urge to cry loudly. How could he not be heartbroken when he was reduced to such a low level by the dignified military colonel and deputy director!

Not far away, a young woman from a decent family came with a servant. Shen Zui wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and mechanically stretched out a hand full of oil, "Poor thing, give me something to eat." Let's do it!"

The young woman came closer and suddenly found Shen Zui squatting on the side of the road. She hurriedly took two steps away, covered her nose and gave the servant a wink. The servant threw a few copper coins into the broken bowl at Shen Zui's feet.The master and servant left in a hurry, for fear of getting bad luck.

Shen Zui's eyes lit up as the copper plates clinked and twirled in the broken bowl, which was enough to buy two steamed buns for a cushion.

Just as Shen Zui was about to reach for the copper plate, a person suddenly jumped out from the side, took the broken bowl, turned around and ran away.

Shen was stunned for a moment, and then swear words burst out, "Bastard, even steal money from beggars!"

Not knowing where the strength came from, Shen Zui jumped up and chased after him with big strides.

The thin figure in front was not slow, and he seemed to be quite familiar with the surrounding terrain, so he chose some secluded alleys to escape.Shen Shuimi didn't hit his teeth for the last day. Although he had no strength, he still chased after him. There was no way, the bowl was his life-saving money!

After turning two streets, Shen Zui chased the man into a remote dead-end alley, the man ran to the wall and stopped, Shen Zui also panted heavily, stretched out his hand, "Here! "

The man looked at Shen Zui with a half-smile, without saying a word.

Shen Zui was furious immediately, and just as he was about to step forward, a sack suddenly fell from the sky, wrapping him tightly.Then two men appeared behind him, kicked Shen Zui down, quickly tied up the sack, and put it directly into the trunk of a black car that was already waiting at the entrance of the alley.
