Chapter 102 Suspicion
Regarding the guess about Keiko Aizawa, I can only say that it was completely wrong.

Although Ding Moqun now felt it was a pity that several of his subordinates died, Zhao Xuan's actions completely dispelled his concerns.

Speaking of which, Ding Moqun was quite happy.

However, since Ma Shangcheng, who knew the truth, was here, Ding Moqun naturally would not show it.

Otherwise, it would give Ma Shangcheng the impression that he doesn't care about the lives of his subordinates, which would be bad.

"As for the newspaper post, let's forget about it. We should not openly offend those crazy people in the Military Control Commission."

After saying that, Ding Moqun looked at Lan Ze Keiko:
"Ms. Huizi, let's leave first."

"Ah Xuan, Chief Ma, pack up and come to my office later. There will be tasks assigned to you."

Zhao Xuan and Ma Shangcheng nodded. After Ding Moqun took Lan Ze Keiko away, Ma Shangcheng smacked his lips and gave Zhao Xuan a thumbs up.

"Brother, you're awesome. Although I trusted you from the beginning to the end, you solved the problem so quickly and efficiently. I admire your method!"

Zhao Xuan looked at Ma Shangcheng expressionlessly, gave him a meaningful look, then turned around and left the interrogation room.

Ma Shangcheng's smile froze, and finally he grinned and snorted, leaving Fan Dingfang and Li Xiao to clean up the mess before leaving the interrogation room.

Half a quarter of an hour later, in the director's office.

Keiko Lanze sat on the sofa, looking at Ding Moqun with a smile. Zhang Sanjin stood at the door with his head lowered. Now he didn't dare to look at Ding Moqun at all.

Ding Moqun seemed completely unaffected and was still leisurely making tea.

"Ms. Huizi, please try the last batch of Biluochun this year."

Aizawa Keiko smiled and nodded, took the teacup and blew away the mist, took a sip and nodded repeatedly:
"Yes, it has a refreshing fragrance and a sweet aftertaste."

After Ding Moqun poured himself a glass, he looked at Lan Ze Keiko with some surprise:

"I didn't expect Miss Keiko to be proficient in the tea ceremony."

Aizawa Keiko didn't answer, but changed the subject and asked:

"Director Ding, you called me here first. Are you planning to change someone else to be in charge of this mission?"

Previously, Ding Moqun had decided on Zhao Xuan as the candidate. Ding Moqun had just told Lan Ze Huizi about this an hour ago. Now he asked Lan Ze Huizi to come over in advance. No wonder she thought that Ding Moqun was planning to change someone.

Ding Moqun heard this and nodded without feeling embarrassed at all:

"Ms. Huizi has seen Xuan's performance. He has the ability and means, but he is too cruel. In addition, the next mission involves the Japanese and the special envoys from Yamashiro."

"I'm worried that Xuan might not be patient enough. If he gets excited and kills someone, we won't be able to explain ourselves."

Keiko Lanzawa's mouth twitched slightly. This Ding Moqun is really shameless.

Didn't he just parachute himself into the position of deputy director of No. 76? Ding Moqun saw that Zhao Xuan had no chance to get promoted for the time being, and Zhao Xuan brought people from the intelligence department to capture Yan Gang and Fang Yue on the Taisheng.

The reward for this contribution has not yet been implemented, so Section Chief Zhao Xuan's position is secure.

Since Zhao Xuan can't make further progress in a short period of time, Ding Moqun might as well consolidate Dao Yan's position.

Thinking of this, Lan Ze Huizi looked at Ding Moqun with a smile:
"So Director Ding, who do you plan to let command this operation?"

Ding Moqun thought for a moment, a gleam in his eyes, and he smiled and said:
"If we want to catch the special envoy from Yamashiro and determine the whereabouts of the Japanese businessmen in time, the Telecommunications Department will play a very important role. So this time I plan to let the Telecommunications Department take the lead, the Operations Department cooperate, and the Intelligence Department do a good job of intelligence collection. Miss Keiko, what do you think?"

Keiko Aizawa chuckled, and it turned out that she was planning to consolidate Daoyan's position.

"Director Ding can make the decision on this matter. I'm new here and I don't know much about the coordination between the various departments."

"However, I am optimistic about Section Chief Zhao."

Ding Moqun's smile froze, and he ignored Lan Ze Huizi, turned to look at Zhang Sanjin and said:
"I just asked you to contact Xiaodao. What did you say?"

Zhang Sanjin quickly replied:
"Director, Section Chief Dao drove to the French Concession. He seems to be going to buy clothes. I sent someone to the French Concession checkpoint. He just called back and said that he had seen Section Chief Dao and is on his way back."

Ding Moqun smiled and sighed:

"This Xiaodao, every time she gets angry, she goes shopping for clothes. We have specially cleared a room at home as her dressing room, and now it's almost full."

Aizawa Keiko's eyes flashed, and as an agent, she instantly became suspicious and asked with great interest:
"Section Chief Dao has always had good taste in clothes. When he attended a party before, the cheongsam and dress he wore were both very nice. I wonder where he often goes to buy them. If I have time, I can go and have a look."

Ding Moqun narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile:

"The most famous store in the French Concession is Zhu's Clothing Store. Basically, all my clothes are made for me by Xiaodao there."

"Oh, Zhu's Clothing Store. OK, I'll go check it out when I have time."

dong dong dong-

There was a knock on the office door. Ding Moqun slowly stood up and walked towards his office. Lan Ze Keiko also stood up. Zhang Sanjin turned around and opened the door. When he saw Ma Shangcheng and Zhao Xuan, he quickly stepped aside to let them in.

"Here we are. Wait a moment until Chief Dao arrives."

Zhao Xuan and Ma Shangcheng nodded, and Lan Ze Huizi also walked over to the two of them. Seeing this, Ding Moqun introduced:
"By the way, let me introduce you to Miss Aizawa Keiko. You all know her."

"From today on, Keiko Aizawa will be the deputy director of our No. 76 secret service."

Ma Shangcheng was quite surprised when he heard this.

I heard before that the Japanese planned to appoint someone to take over the position of deputy director.

I didn't expect that the person who came was Keiko Aizawa.

Logically speaking, Keiko Aizawa was almost promoted to the head of the Intelligence Section in the Special High Section, and now she has been transferred here to serve as deputy director. Although her title has been raised, to be honest, it should be considered a promotion in name only and a demotion in reality.

I don't know what Keiko Aizawa was thinking. She left her job in the Special High Police and chose to come to Unit 76 to steal their jobs.

Ma Shangcheng has been eyeing the position of deputy director for a long time.

But now that the deputy director is in place, although Ma Shangcheng is unhappy, he still extends his hand with a smile on his face:
"Hello, Deputy Director. I am Ma Shangcheng, the Chief of the Operations Department. I hope you can give me more guidance in the future."

Lan Ze Keiko reached out her hand and gently held Ma Shangcheng's fingertips, smiled and nodded, then looked at Zhao Xuan:

"Chief Zhao, I am in charge of the Intelligence Department this time. We will trouble you to cooperate with us in the future."

Looking at the hand that Keiko Aizawa extended, Zhao Xuan also reached out and shook hands with her.

Ma Shangcheng saw this and felt even more upset.

When she shook hands with me, she just touched my fingertips, and when she shook hands with Zhao Xuan, she wanted to hold on for a long time without letting go. This woman is a typical face-obsessed person!

Ding Moqun felt helpless when he saw this. He knew a little about Keiko Aizawa's situation. She was related to a big family in Japan, and Keiko Aizawa was a widow.

It seems that I have to remind Zhao Xuan when I get back to spend less time alone with Aizawa Keiko, otherwise he will get into trouble and I won’t be able to get rid of it.

Moreover, Keiko Aizawa actually said that she was transferred here to be in charge of the intelligence department, which made Ding Moqun even more uncomfortable.

The most important department of No. 76 is undoubtedly the Intelligence Department, followed by the Telecommunications Department, and finally the Operations Department.

As for logistics and the like, they have always been under the control of Ding Moqun, and are of little use.

Now that Keiko Aizawa is in charge of the Intelligence Department as soon as she arrives, Ding Moqun is really angry.

But on second thought, Ding Moqun didn't care. Zhao Xuan was his nephew's husband. Could he really be caught by Lan Ze Keiko?

This is the benefit of being a family.

"Ms. Huizi is actually in charge of the Intelligence Department. I haven't received any written documents yet."

In response to Ding Moqun's question, Lan Ze Huizi smiled slightly:
"When I was in the Special High Section, I was originally in the Intelligence Department. I am not very familiar with the work of other departments, so I can only be in charge of the Intelligence Department. Could it be that Director Ding wants me, an outsider, to be in charge of other departments?"

"I thought Director Ding knew which department I would be in charge of after seeing my transfer documents, so he didn't ask for specific written documents. If Director Ding needs it, I can apply again."

Having said that, Ding Moqun had no choice but to reply with a fake smile:
"Hahaha, that's not necessary. Ms. Huizi is from the Intelligence Department. It makes sense for her to be in charge of the Intelligence Department when she arrives at No. 76."

After several rounds of tug-of-war, Dao Yan finally arrived.

The moment he walked into the office, Dao Yan's eyes flashed with surprise when he saw Zhao Xuan was also here.

(When did the interrogation become so fast? Especially when someone reported him, even if he was innocent, he shouldn't be here at this time!)

Zhao Xuan found Dao Yan's psychological activities in dialysis mode a little funny.

But thinking about the fact that Daoyan had gone out before, could it be that she sent out the information about the arrested "Military Control Commission"?

"Sorry, I'm late."

Ding Moqun nodded slightly, and after seeing Dao Yan standing next to Lan Ze Keiko, he said:
"I asked you to come here today for an important mission."

"Dao Yan."

Dao Yan immediately stood up straight:
"director!"

"I now formally order you to lead the Telecommunications Department and keep a close eye on the telegrams sent from the mountain city. Regardless of whether they can be deciphered or not, all intercepted telegrams must be sent to me as soon as possible."

"At the same time, you will personally lead the team, and Chief Ma will assist you. You will go to Nanjing. There are a group of captured military spies who need to be transferred to our No. 76. This is related to the next mission. If any problems arise, we will not let them off lightly."

Hearing this, Dao Yan's expression remained unchanged, but the doubts in his heart made Dao Yan completely confused.

Didn’t we just capture a group of Military Intelligence Bureau agents who sneaked into the Magic City from Nanjing last night? Why are we going to Nanjing to pick up another group of Military Intelligence Bureau agents now?
Since when did it become so easy to catch Military Intelligence Bureau agents?
Ma Shangcheng had expected this. After all, what he brought back last night was a batch of Western goods, and they were all shot dead by Zhao Xuan before they could even use even 10% of their power.

Thinking about it now, Ma Shangcheng finds it funny.

Why do both Ding Moqun and Dao Yan like to identify Zhao Xuan so much?

Since the day Zhao Xuan joined No. 76, Ma Shangcheng no longer thought that Zhao Xuan was a member of the Military Control Commission or the underground party. Especially during the last interrogation, Zhao Xuan personally shot and killed the so-called Military Control Commission agent arranged by Ding Moqun.

Including this time, Zhao Xuan killed five people without blinking an eye, and later killed another person.

Ma Shangcheng didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhao Xuan's ruthless and unhesitating style.

Unless Zhao Xuan knew from the beginning who he was going to kill, but how is that possible?
Anyway, the feeling Zhao Xuan gave Ma Shangcheng was that this guy would kill people regardless of the other person's identity.

Zhao Xuan also found it a little funny when he heard this:
"Director, could this group of people be captured together with the group I just shot dead?"

Dao Yan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhao Xuan.

Kill!

The six military commanders captured by Ma Shangcheng were shot dead by Zhao Xuan? !

At this second, although Dao Yan's expression did not change, there was a storm in his heart.

She was planning to rescue those people after confirming their identities, but she didn't expect to be killed by Zhao Xuan.

Dao Yan's hands behind his back trembled slightly.

Ding Moqun felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he still said with a smile:
"They were not arrested together. Nanjing arrested one group first, and then they found out the whereabouts of the other group. After the news reached me, I ordered Chief Ma to set out overnight to capture the people last night."

After listening, Zhao Xuan nodded in understanding.

"But it doesn't matter now. The group we captured last night didn't have much use anyway. The Military Control Commission team captured in Nanjing is the key."

"It has been confirmed that Shancheng will conduct a secret transaction with a Japanese businessman in Magic City in the near future. Mr. Wang's intention is not only to capture Shancheng's special envoy, but also to find out the Japanese businessman."

After saying this, Ding Moqun looked at Dao Yan and Ma Shangcheng and said solemnly:
"So this trip to Nanjing cannot go wrong!"

"Don't worry, Director. Section Chief Dao and I will definitely bring all the people back."

After Ma Shangcheng finished speaking, Dao Yan nodded immediately:
"After I instruct the Telecommunications Department to keep an eye on the telegram from Shancheng, Chief Ma and I will go and pick him up."

Keiko Lanzawa, who had been watching the show the whole time, looked at Zhao Xuan with a smile:

"Chief Zhao, you are not interested in this mission?"

Zhao Xuan glanced at Lan Ze Huizi indifferently, then looked at Ding Moqun:

"Uncle, isn't it a waste of talent to let Section Chief Dao and Section Chief Ma go on such a simple mission together?"

"Our intelligence department is not fully staffed. Yuan Fang has made some small contributions, but they are not enough to qualify him as deputy section chief. If Section Chief Dao and Section Chief Ma don't mind, why don't you give this small contribution to our intelligence department?"

Keiko Aizawa almost laughed out loud after hearing this. After holding back her laughter, Keiko Aizawa immediately followed up and said:

"Director, I think what Section Chief Zhao said makes sense."

"I just arrived at No. 76 and am in charge of the Intelligence Department. I have to make sure all the positions in the department are fully staffed. Section Chief Zhao is very thoughtful."

Ding Moqun looked at Zhao Xuan speechlessly.

Why does Zhao Xuan want all the credit?
You keep giving your wife all the credit, and you keep taking advantage of her. Damn it, if this couple keeps quarreling like this, won't the conflict between them get deeper and deeper?

Then when can I hold my grandson in my arms?
You know, Daoyan had promised before that when she had children in the future, she could choose one to have the surname Ding.

Dao Yan and Ma Shangcheng were both a little dumbfounded now, and Ma Shangcheng was even more numb.

You can't steal the credit like this!

"Chief Zhao, what you said doesn't make sense. My Operations Department doesn't have a deputy chief. We only have Captain Fan Dingfang."

"Director, if you agree to what Section Chief Zhao said, then I also think that it's just as well to let Fan Dingfang go to pick up people. If he has enough credits, he can be promoted to deputy section chief and complete the configuration of the Operations Department!"

Dao Yan glared at Zhao Xuan fiercely:
"Zhao Xuan, what do you mean?"

Ding Moqun looked at the couple with a headache, and waited for Zhao Xuan to give an answer.

When questioned by Dao Yan, Zhao Xuan smiled rarely:

"Chief Dao, working hours are called positions!"

Dao Yan's originally frosty fair and flawless face was now flushed with anger.

"But Director, I've thought about it carefully. The Intelligence Department might want to investigate the identity of the Japanese businessman first, just in case. If we do this, I'm afraid the Intelligence Department won't have time to pick him up."

Dao Yan and Ma Shangcheng's faces changed. Is this guy playing tricks on them?

And what does just in case mean?
Curse them for not being able to bring the people back?
Ding Moqun really wanted to slam the table at this moment, but after thinking about it carefully, what Zhao Xuan said was right. They had to keep a hand in everything they couldn't do. If they could confirm the identity of the Japanese businessman, they could turn the passive situation into the active one.

Even if something happens to the captain of the Flying Eagle Squad that was secretly sent to the Magic City, if Zhao Xuan can investigate the identity of the Japanese businessman, No. 76 will still be invincible.

Thinking of this, Ding Moqun smiled and nodded at Zhao Xuan, then turned to look at Lan Ze Keiko:
"Ms. Keiko."

Before Ding Moqun could finish, Lan Ze Huizi frowned and interrupted him directly:
"I think Chief Zhao's consideration makes sense. The Intelligence Department needs to confirm the identity of the Japanese businessman, which requires a lot of manpower. We won't be able to spare any manpower to pick him up in a short period of time."

"Besides, I have just been assigned to the Intelligence Department and am not familiar with some of the work processes here, so Director Ding will be in charge of everything."

You just objected!
Sometimes he supported Zhao Xuan in picking up the people, but sometimes he felt that the intelligence department's investigation of the Japanese businessmen was the most important thing.

So you support whatever Zhao Xuan says?!
Ding Moqun was speechless, but now that Lan Ze Huizi had given in, he had to give back the credit to Dao Yan.

"Okay then, let's do as we said before!"

There was silence in the office for a moment.

However, in the dialysis mode, Ding Moqun's psychological activities shocked Zhao Xuan.

A group of Military Intelligence Bureau agents were actually captured in Nanjing, and they were planning to infiltrate the Magic City.

The purpose is to protect the safety of the special envoys coming from the mountain city.

Zhao Xuan didn't understand this. He had already inquired about No. 18 Jiaxing Road, and it was indeed the new Magic City Station built by the Military Control Commission.

So, now that the KMT's Shanghai Station has been rebuilt, why is it necessary to transfer a team of agents from Nanjing to protect the special envoy?

Aren’t the agents in Magic City good enough?

Could it be that the mission in Magic City has to be carried out secretly from the Magic City Station of the Military Control Commission?
Zhao Xuan couldn’t figure out what the people in Shancheng were thinking. Was their brain a mess?
Not only was the person arrested, but the captain of the so-called Flying Eagle Squad actually defected and told Wang Da the information that Shancheng wanted to buy ink from Japanese merchants.

Moreover, the captain also knew how to contact the special envoy.

What else can I do with color-changing ink?
Given the nature of the party-state, it will definitely print legal tender.

Since May this year, the legal currency has been depreciating, which is closely related to the increasing amount of legal currency printed by the Party-State.

Now we need to purchase another batch of ink in order to increase the printing volume of legal tender.

This is a practice of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs and disregarding the interests of the people. Zhao Xuan really wants to disrupt this deal and arrest the special envoy and the Japanese businessman.

Moreover, as the scale of legal tender printing increases, the security of legal tender templates will become lower and lower. This is also an important reason why legal tender templates will be stolen later.

Also, although Ding Moqun ordered Dao Yan and Ma Shangcheng to bring the arrested Nanjing Military Control Commission agents back to the Magic City, in fact, the captain of the Flying Eagle Squad who actually rebelled would be secretly sent to the Magic City.

This method of combining light and dark has always been Ding Moqun's favorite tactic.

Although Zhao Xuan had completely figured out Ding Moqun's plan under dialysis mode, he was still confused.

Things like color-changing ink do need to be stockpiled.

It can be used to increase the scale of printing of legal currency, but it conflicts with Zhao Xuan's ideas.

Therefore, the question now is whether to sabotage this deal or let it go ahead smoothly and make life miserable for the people.

Zhao Xuan sighed inwardly when he thought that if it was not stopped, the issuance of legal currency would increase by hundreds of thousands of times and prices would increase by tens of millions of times in the next few years.

Maybe we need to think of a way to have color-changing ink while also being able to break the deal!

Having been in this world for some time, Zhao Xuan also knows that the general trend is difficult to change.

Even if Shancheng cannot get the color-changing ink this time, it will find a way to get it from other places.

All Zhao Xuan can do now is to find a way to move this time point further away.

After Dao Yan and Ma Shangcheng accepted the mission, they had to set off today and should be able to bring the people back by evening.

The special envoy from the mountain city is already on the way to the Magic City by train, and the meeting time will be tomorrow morning.

"Ah Xuan, your intelligence department is responsible for collecting information about port freight and other things. See if you can be the first to locate the Japanese businessman who wants to trade with the Shancheng special envoy?"

Zhao Xuan responded and the meeting ended soon. Dao Yan went to the telecommunications department immediately and assigned the task assigned by Ding Moqun to Wang Yiya.

There is no other way. Dao Yan has to go to Nanjing, and the only one who can take the lead in the telecommunications department is Wang Yiya.

After agreeing on a time to set off with Ma Shangcheng, Dao Yan drove away from No. 76, saying that he wanted to deliver the clothes back home.

Office of the Chief of Intelligence Section.

Zhao Xuan, standing at the window, watched Dao Yan drive away. Soon, Zhang Sanjin followed stealthily in his car. Zhao Xuan shook his head and smiled.

It seems that Ding Moqun doesn't completely trust Dao Yan.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xuan wrote down the license plate of the car that Zhang Sanjin drove away, walked back to his desk and made a phone call:
"Shanghai 7L·665, stop!"
