Lost and Spy

Chapter 521 Tripartite Intelligence
"Tian Sang, I have already made a request to my superiors to allow you to stay in Nanjing."

Sakurai Koura said happily.

He has confirmed that he will stay in Nanjing to help manage the city, and according to the previous plan, Tian Qi will return to Shanghai after helping the Sakurai Secret Service team complete their mission.

However, Tian Qi proposed to stay here.

This is what Sakurai Gongpu could only wish for.

He regards Tian Qi as his best foreign friend in China, and at the same time, he is also the savior of him and the entire Sakurai secret service team.

Moreover, he also needs the assistance of Tian Qi.

The missions of these Japanese special service teams during the war were to assist the army in combat and stay in the city. They were independent of the gendarmerie and secret service organizations, and were more similar to a secret police.

They have an independent management system, independent funds, and do not need to report to the local intelligence agency, so their power is quite large.

So like Sakurai Gongpu, although he is only a major, the resources and status he can use far exceed his current official title.

Because of this, once approved by his superiors, Tian Qi can be sure to stay in Nanjing, then he will be temporarily safe, and he will no longer have to face the doubts of Kawamoto Kojiro in Shanghai.

It's just that Tian Qi is not very willing to do this, he is more willing to face the challenge from the enemy.

"Tian Sang, our current work at this stage..."

Just as Sakurai Gongpu said this, someone outside came in to report: "Your Excellency, Yoshiko Kawashima, please see me?"

"Yoshiko Kawashima?" Sakurai Gongpu was taken aback, "What is she looking for me for?"

"What's the problem, Mr. Sakurai?" Tian Qi couldn't help asking.

"Tian Sang, you may have heard of this woman's name, but you don't know how troublesome she is." Sakurai Gongpu smiled bitterly: "She has made great contributions to the empire and was once very appreciated by the military, but, For some unknown reason, she soon fell out of favor, and once lived in Beiping, relying on bluffing and cheating for a living. This time she came to Nanjing, and it is said that she also wanted to lobby for the restoration of her Qing Empire. She was really daydreaming."

Tian Qi doesn't know much about Yoshiko Kawashima: "If this is the case, then don't meet at all."

"No, no." Sakurai Gongpu shook his head: "Although Yoshiko Kawashima has lost power, she still has certain connections that can be used. She knows a lot of high-level people, and she is very scheming. God knows when she will get her again. Appreciation. There is no need to offend her like this. Tian Sang, please come and meet me."

……

Guichuan Zhenger put down the phone, and when he came to Akagi Caisha, his footsteps were a little hurried: "Madam, I found Meng Shaoyuan's trace."

"What?" Akagi Caisha's expression changed: "Where is it?"

"No. 76, Dashugen, Zhongyang Road! Meng Shaoyuan will arrive at two o'clock in the afternoon!"

"Is the source of information accurate?"

"I don't know. I received a call just now. That's what it said on the phone. I asked who he was, but the other party quickly hung up the phone."

Takagi Kenji frowned: "Madam, is it possible that this is a trap?"

"No, it won't." Akagi Caisha thought for a while: "It won't be a trap, who will inform us of such news? Moreover, even if the other party really set up an ambush there, when the gunshot fired, the soldiers nearby It will arrive soon. It is definitely not a suitable ambush location. Moreover, since Meng Shaoyuan's whereabouts are known, I will never give up any hope!"

"Understood, ma'am." Takagi Kenji bent down: "I'll go get ready right away. By the way, hasn't Katsumi Kazeji come back yet?"

"Yes, he hasn't come back yet. I'm worried that he has been poisoned by the Chinese!"

……

"Your Excellency Major, there is news from Goto Nagato that Akagi Caisha has received information from Meng Shaoyuan. He will go to No. 76, Dashugen, Zhongyang Road at [-] p.m.."

"Oh, is it?" Habara Koichi said lightly, "The news is accurate?"

"It should be accurate. The place where Akagi Caisha lives now is the property of the previous embassy. She temporarily borrowed the residence through her husband's relationship before his death. The person in charge of the house management there is Goto Yongren. It is his own ear. heard."

"No. 76 Dashugen, Zhongyang Road?" Yu Yuanguang frowned: "Why did Meng Shaoyuan go there? No, he should find a way to leave Nanjing now. No, definitely not."

People have a kind of contradictory psychology. They clearly know that it may be a trap, but curiosity will always prompt him to look at the truth and unravel the doubts in his mind.

And if this trap is not too dangerous, and maybe a piece of treasure can be obtained, then this kind of curiosity cannot be suppressed at all.

For Hahara Koichi, Meng Shaoyuan is this treasure!
This is Nanjing, and there are Japanese troops and gendarmerie everywhere on Zhongyang Road. It is absolutely impossible for Meng Shaoyuan to set up an ambush there.

Habara Koichi would never let go of any opportunity to catch Meng Shaoyuan.

"Intensify the inspection of the train station, and arrange personnel to check at the city gate." Habara Koichi made his own decision: "Move a team and come with me to have a look."

……

"No. 76, Dashugen, Central Road, there are important figures in the national government's secret service system hidden there!"

Yoshiko Kawashima lit a cigarette and took a puff gracefully: "At two o'clock in the afternoon, they will have a major operation, Major Sakurai, do you think this information is valuable?"

Sakurai Gongpu didn't rush to answer: "Miss Kawashima, I'm curious, if this information is true, why did you tell me?"

"It's very simple, I need to make meritorious service." Yoshiko Kawashima said lightly: "But in Nanjing, I have no manpower, so I have to find a reliable person to help. I know your superior Fujino, and I trust him, as well you."

"Thank you for your trust, Ms. Kawashima." Sakurai Gongpu smiled: "No. 76 Dashugen, Central Road? An important figure in the Nationalist Government? I may take the liberty to ask, where did you get this information from? "

"I'm sorry, this involves many people, and I can't disclose it for the time being." Yoshiko Kawashima declined politely.

Sakurai Gongpu nodded in understanding, and then his eyes fell on Tian Qi: "Tian Sang, what do you think?"

"I think it's okay to go and have a look." Tian Qi said nonchalantly: "Even if you miss nothing, it's just as if we took a walk, but since Ms. Kawashima can tell us this information, I think there must be someone Is it worth the price?"

Yoshiko Kawashima was very curious about who this man was, and Sakurai Gongpu actually asked for his opinion: "I will stay in Nanjing for a while, and I will definitely need some help during this time, and I think today's kindness, I will definitely gain the friendship of Your Excellency the Major."

"If you really gain something." Sakurai Gongpu no longer hesitated: "I will owe you a favor."

……

Meng Shaoyuan looked at the time: "It's almost there."

"Director Meng, do you really want to leave now?" Lin Xuan seemed a little uneasy: "There are Japanese everywhere, will it be too dangerous?"

"Dangerous?" Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "It's more dangerous to stay in Nanjing, and I'm ready for it."

The news that he was leaving Nanjing was only told to Lin Xuan. Before Qi Qilu and Ni Weizheng were killed in battle, and before the new commander arrived, Meng Shaoyuan was the supreme commander here.

"Director Meng, I'll see you off." Lin Xuan was a little reluctant.

The former enemy commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief have been killed one after another, and now the latent agents of the military command in Nanjing are actually leaderless. The arrival of Meng Shaoyuan greatly boosted morale.

And now that he is leaving again, who will direct Nanjing in the future?

Lin Xuan very much missed the years under Meng Shaoyuan's command. At that time, all of them knew exactly what they should do at that time.

It is so detailed that even when retreating, several routes are clearly planned, and who will be responsible for the response.

But now Nanjing is really a mess.

The several squadrons fought in their own way, and they did not cooperate with each other at all, relying entirely on the performance of the several squadron leaders themselves.

But this is also caused by the extremely cruel environment in Nanjing.

"Wait another two or three months, and the new commander will arrive."

Meng Shaoyuan knew exactly what Lin Xuan was thinking: "Send me, you don't have to, it's safer for me to go alone. Remember, live well, if you really can't hold on anymore, come to Shanghai to find me, you will still be my subordinate after all. .”

Lin Xuan nodded silently...

……

Nanjing, No. 76, Dashugen, Zhongyang Road.

The action team led by Koichi Habara met unexpectedly with Sakurai Gongpu's special agent team here.

Without even a second of hesitation, Habara Koichi asked, "You also got the news, are you here to arrest Meng Shaoyuan?"

"Meng Shaoyuan?" Sakurai Gongpu was stunned: "Miss Kawashima told me that there are important figures in the national government's secret service system here."

Tian Qi was surprised.

Meng Shaoyuan?
Could it be that Meng Shaoyuan is here?
"Miss Kawashima, is that so?"

"No, the information I got was only about important people, but it didn't say that it was Meng Shaoyuan." Yoshiko Kawashima replied with a gloomy face.

……

Someone has already got there first.

It was Akagi Caisha and her men.When she saw two more teams coming in, Akagi Caisha also stayed there.

The five people who lived here were all driven into the yard.

Three men and two women.

Among them, the two women looked like maids, both very young and beautiful.

It seemed that none of the five people panicked.

Among them, one of the most beautiful maids had an ugly face. Seeing two more pairs of people rushing in, she couldn't help but ask, "Who is the highest person in charge?"

Sakurai Gongpu glanced at Habara Koichi, smiled and made a gesture of please.

Habara Koichi was not polite either: "I am Major Habara Koichi."

"Bastard!" The maid actually scolded: "Do you know what you are doing? Do you know who lives here?"

"I don't know, but I really want to know from your mouth." Habara Koichi still has a good temper.

The maid said coldly:
"Party Affairs Investigation Section of the Central Organization Department of the Nationalist Government, Li Shiqun!"
