Lost and Spy

Chapter 604 Important People
The International Settlement was in flux.

The military command agents seemed to have gone crazy, and launched the craziest assassination operation in the public concession.

Japanese spies and traitors were assassinated almost every day.

Moreover, this kind of assassination is not targeted, and the only commonality seems to be one:
famous.

The more famous the more likely to be hunted down.

Even Hitosuke Matsumoto, head of Japan's Shanghai government, was assassinated twice in succession.

Although he didn't succeed, he was shocked into a cold sweat.

Are these military commanders crazy?

Meng Shaoyuan?Liao Yuting?
No matter from which point of view, it seems that only the grievances between these two people can cause the current situation.

He really wanted to stop offering a reward to Meng Shaoyuan, but the existence of Habara Koichi and the influence of Doihara Kenji behind him made Matsumoto Rentsu a little helpless.

Let's make a mess, wait until Shanghai is completely in chaos, and see who can clean up the mess...

……

"Thank you very much, Mr. Habara."

Liao Yuting was wearing a vest and tie, poured two glasses of wine, and handed one to Habara Koichi: "If you didn't insist on it, maybe this plan would fail."

It was the first time Hahara Koichi came to Liao Yuting's residence.

Here is the basement, above, is a grocery store.

The basement has been remodeled, the floor is covered with carpets imported from the United States, there is a wine cabinet on one side, and all kinds of wine are placed on it, and even the ventilation is done.

Liao Yuting found that Hahara Koichi was observing his residence: "This is one of my eight strongholds in Shanghai. The owner of the grocery store above, I saved his life. After that, I asked him to open a grocery store here , It has been open for eight years, and he usually has no other job, just helping me look after the place and waiting for my arrival at any time."

Habara Koichi learned it again.

The only task of a person for eight years is to help people keep an eye on the hiding place, so no one will suspect him.

Since General Doihara sent Liao Yuting to Shanghai, it was obviously after careful consideration, and he hoped that his efforts in front of Director Matsumoto were correct.

"Mr. Liao, I admire you very much." Yu Yuan Guangyi took a sip of wine: "No matter what the final result of this plan will be, I firmly believe that this has caused Meng Shaoyuan a lot of trouble."

"Don't worry, I still have a killing move." Liao Yuting smiled slightly: "Everything I do is for this final fatal blow!"

Now, Peng Bilan should have gained Meng Shaoyuan's trust.

Even though his own woman was in bed with another man... This made Liao Yuting feel a bunch of ants crawling around in his heart when he thought of it, but as long as he could kill Meng Shaoyuan, any price would be worth paying!
Habara Koichi didn't ask him what the final ultimate move was.

Because he knows very well that some things don't need to be so clear.

He came today for another reason: "Mr. Liao, do you know Miao Chengfang?"

"Miao Chengfang?" Liao Yuting frowned: "I'm not very clear. He used to be a member of the Central Department, and his previous name was not Miao Chengfang. This person has relatively old qualifications, but he suddenly came out of the Central Department. I don't know exactly why. Mr. Habara, why are you asking about him?"

"I think this person is very interesting." Koichi Habara pondered and said: "From his qualifications, there is no problem. He is a very senior latent spy in China of the Empire of Japan, and he is under the direct command of General Fujiwara Kikawa. There will be no problem with the person General Fujiwara likes, but I always find this person interesting."

Liao Yuting seemed to hear something: "What you call interesting, be more specific."

"Look, his position on many things is from the perspective of the Great Japanese Empire." Habara Koichi organized his vocabulary: "But the plan he proposed seems to be more beneficial to the military command. However, you can't find it in his wording. Seeing any flaws... I don't know how to describe it, I just feel a little curious about this person."

"As I said, I don't know Miao Chengfang." Liao Yuting said lightly: "You are only curious about him. General Fujiwara is a nobleman in Japan. Even General Doihara respects him very much. His Man, you can only wonder."

His conversation suddenly changed: "If a person with ulterior motives has some ulterior motives, no matter how deeply he hides himself, sooner or later his flaws will be revealed."

Habara Koichi nodded slowly: "I think I will pay special attention to this person in the future..."

……

"Mr. Miao, please drink tea."

Rentsugu Matsumoto is still very confident about his tea ceremony: "During this period, many things happened in Shanghai, and it seems that they are all aimed at Liao Yuting."

"I don't trust this person." Miao Chengfang took a sip of tea and was full of praise: "Your Excellency, your tea ceremony has improved again... After Liao Yuting arrived in Shanghai, he didn't report it immediately, and I It is certain that he did not really fancy the reward of 500 million yen... The timing is too coincidental, he should just take advantage of this opportunity...

Your Excellency the chief of the agency, an excellent intelligence officer, obedience to discipline is the first priority, and Liao Yuting has never reported any actions in Shanghai. On the contrary, his so-called plan has caused us great harm. Losses, especially in the recent period, those people in the military command are simply crazy, carrying out aimless assassinations everywhere. "

This is also what Matsumoto Rentsui is most annoyed about.

He is the acting head of the Shanghai agency, and his most important task is to stabilize the situation, rather than fall into the current mess.

"Let's put this matter aside for now, Mr. Miao." Matsumoto Hitosuke sighed: "I have more important matters to discuss with you. The Nanjing Restoration Government is about to be established, and some important officials from North China have also been sent to participate. , and discussed the possibility of comprehensive cooperation between the north and the south. General Yoshikawa Sadasa also sent his younger brother Yoshikawa Gomon to participate."

"Sadazu Yoshikawa?"

"Yes, he is the head of the secret service agency in the five provinces of North China." Matsumoto Rentsui said solemnly, "He holds a lot of power in his hands, and more importantly, he is the nephew of His Majesty the Emperor."

His Majesty's nephew?
Miao Chengfang's heart moved: "Then, Yoshikawa Gomon is also His Majesty's nephew?"

"No, strictly speaking, this is not the case." Matsumoto Rentsu explained carefully: "The biological father of the Yoshikawa Gomon is Hirano Ube, who used to be a retainer of the Yoshikawa family. In order to reward the loyalty of the Hirano family, the Yoshikawa family asked them to choose one The child is regarded as the adopted son of the Yoshikawa family, and this is the Yoshikawa Gomon. The Yoshikawa Gomon has been loved by the Yoshikawa family since childhood.

Especially General Yoshikawa Sadazuo, who has had a very good relationship with Yoshikawa Gomon since he was a child. He was transferred to China and brought Gomon with him.And Wumen did not live up to the trust of General Yoshikawa, and made repeated military exploits.It can even be said that General Yoshikawa was able to serve as the chief of the secret service agencies of the five provinces in North China, and the merits of the five departments accounted for at least half. "

This is a special intelligence.

Miao Chengfang thought quickly.

"The five gates of Yoshikawa came here this time, and there is a special mission." Matsumoto Hitotsu said solemnly: "After Beiping, Shanghai, and Nanjing were successively occupied by the Japanese Empire, the superiors also considered further strengthening the intelligence of the North and the South." Therefore, Yoshikawa Wumen came here this time to celebrate the establishment of the Nanjing Restoration Government, and then they will transfer to Shanghai to meet with us to discuss the North and South intelligence agencies and the possibility of further cooperation.”

Then, this person is the plenipotentiary representative of Yoshikawa Sadazuka.

The Japanese Army and Navy were at odds, as were the North and South intelligence agencies.It's just that this contradiction is not superficial.

If the arrival of the five gates of Yoshikawa this time allows Japan's North and South intelligence agencies to really cooperate in an all-round way, it will be quite detrimental to the future work of the military command.

This information must be sent out.

"Mr. Miao, Yoshikawa Wumen arrived in Nanjing on the 27th, and entered Shanghai on the 29th. I will be fully responsible for his reception." Matsumoto Rentsusu said solemnly: "General Yoshikawa and I had a special telegram before, and the words were very polite. It is said that the arrival of Gomon has caused us trouble, but the meaning behind the words is to take good care of his younger brother. In addition, General Doihara also sent a telegram specifically for the matter of Yoshikawa Gomon."

"Oh, did General Doihara come forward in person?" Miao Chengfang couldn't help asking.

"Yes." Hitotsu Matsumoto couldn't help lowering his voice: "According to news from Tokyo, we are preparing a 'Special Committee on China' jointly composed of the Ministry of Land, Sea, and Foreign Affairs. Knowing that he is likely to enter this institution and be mainly responsible, you should understand the importance of it."

Miao Chengfang pondered there for a long time: "I understand, so you have always adopted a tolerant attitude towards the repeated assassinations of the military command at this stage, and you are very worried that after the full-scale war, it will affect our reception of the five sects of Jichuan. Work."

"Yes, Yoshikawa Gomon must be allowed to arrive in Shanghai safely and leave Shanghai safely. Before that, everything can be temporarily put on hold." Matsumoto Nitsugu also seemed a little helpless: "This is top secret, but I think , General Doihara’s trust in Habara Koichi, he should also know, if he is smart now, he should give up chasing and killing Meng Shaoyuan!”

you are wrong.

Miao Chengfang said silently in his heart.Koichi Habara's approach is the smartest, as long as he continues to pursue and kill Meng Shaoyuan, and even goes to war with the military command in Shanghai, so that the military command can do nothing else, the safety of Yoshikawa's five sects can be better guaranteed.

"I will do my best to assist you, Your Excellency the Director." Miao Chengfang smiled slightly: "However, I would like to ask you to transfer someone back to assist me in my work."

"You mean Tian Qi?"

"Yes, Tian Qi!"
