Starting from 40, holding the Star Mall to lead the motherland

Chapter 72 Fukada Yumiko

Han Hui answered every question and expressed her true thoughts, so there were no loopholes.

Tao Jinxiu didn't see anything wrong and didn't stop Jian Ruoyang when he asked her to leave.

As soon as she left the office, Han Hui saw Zhang Ziqiang waiting outside.

"Are you OK?"

Han Hui knew he was worried about her, so she smiled and said, "It's okay, just a routine question. Brother Zhang, how is the dog recovering?"

Zhang Ziqiang said gratefully, "Xiao Han, thanks to the rice and flour you sent, the children's faces have become much rosier after eating them."

Children can recover easily as long as they have adequate nutrition, but adults, on the other hand, need a long time to make up for the deficit. Han Hui saw that he looked tired and said, "Brother Zhang, you are the pillar of the family. You must take care of your health."

Zhang Ziqiang responded with a smile.

Han Hui chatted with Zhang Ziqiang for a long time until Jian Ruoyang and Tao Jinxiu came out.

When she first met Tao Jinxiu, Han Hui sensed she wasn't ordinary. Back then, she didn't dare open her third eye, fearing she'd be suspicious if she showed any sign of eccentricity. But now, she no longer had that worry.

When the third eye opened, Tao Jinxiu's head was as black as ink, even darker than Chen Yongming's that day. Where did he come from, to have killed so many people? To Han Hui's surprise, Jian Ruoyang's head was red. He turned out to be a good man.

When Tao Jinxiu saw Han Hui and Zhang Ziqiang chatting, she would not miss any clue and immediately asked Jian Ruoyang about their relationship.

Jian Ruoyang first explained the reason, and then said: "Section Chief, the two of them just get along well, it's definitely not a relationship between a man and a woman."

Tao Jinxiu didn't say anything, but she kept it in mind and asked someone to investigate. However, since no problems were found, she let it go for the time being.

When Han Hui got home from get off work, she didn't see Huang Shufen and Xiaocao. After asking, she found out that they had gone to He Sanmei's house and had not returned.

Han Hui asked Han Mengyang about what happened today: "Brother, I think the way Tao Jinxiu looks at people is like a venomous snake, which makes people feel creepy. There is no way such a person can be the head of the dock security department. There is definitely something wrong with this woman."

"What does it look like?"

Han Hui didn't describe it, but directly took out a pen and paper and drew the person.

Han Mengyang's expression changed drastically when he saw this: "Xiaoman, this person is very dangerous, you must stay away from him."

"Brother, do you know who she is?"

Han Mengyang hesitated and said, "This woman is called Fukada Yumiko. She is cruel and murderous. Many of our comrades died at her hands in Peking."

Han Hui immediately understood that Tao Jinxiu was a Japanese spy. It was this kind of person who secretly stole intelligence, instigated rebellion, or recruited anti-Japanese patriots, causing serious damage to the anti-Japanese war.

"Brother, we can't let this scourge stay. We have to get rid of her."

Han Mengyang also had this idea, but he couldn't act now: "She is currently investigating the theft at the dock warehouse. If she suddenly dies, the Special High Section will be secretly watching you."

He had no problem and wasn't afraid of the investigation, but Han Hui couldn't withstand it. Zhangshu Village had been evacuated, and if the Special High Section learned of this, they would definitely investigate her. This girl wasn't good at concealing her true intentions, so it would be easy to expose her true intentions.

Thinking of this, Han Mengyang said, "Xiaoman, I want Xiaocao to leave Shanghai."

"What's wrong?" Han Mengyang felt that Xiaocao knew what Han Hui had done, and that staying here was a hidden danger. "You might have entered Fukada Yumiko's sight today. This woman is very meticulous, and she might have someone investigating you by now. Xiaocao is simple-minded and can be easily tricked. Letting her leave Shanghai is good for both her and us."

Han Hui didn't refuse: "Then wait until this matter is settled, and then find a reason to let her leave. From now on, I'll hire a helper in the store and won't hire anyone at home."

Han Mengyang said, "Don't worry about this. I'll make arrangements when the time comes. By the way, I'm going to Suzhou in two days. Is there anything you want?"

Han Hui rolled her eyes. It would be such a surprise if she just bought it for her. It would be pointless to ask in advance.

Knowing what she was thinking, Han Mengyang laughed: "I don't know what you want. What if I buy something you don't like? Wouldn't that be a waste of money? Our country is poor now, and every penny must be spent wisely."

Han Hui thought about the hardships faced by the soldiers on the front lines and said, "Forget about the gifts. Let's save the money and buy more goods."

With the money she earned, she could buy weapons, food, medicine, and other supplies to support the front lines. This was also the purpose of her opening a trading company.

The next day at work, Dong Xiaomei saw Han Hui pull her aside and whisper, "Did you know? Xiong Dequan from Group 2 and Fan Dayong from Group 6 have been arrested."

Han Hui asked in surprise, "Did they steal from Xinan's warehouse? They're so bold."

Dong Xiaomei shook her head and said, "The theft at the dock was done by them in collusion with outsiders. They're really bold. This is the second time."

"You didn't notice it until the third time?"

Dong Xiaomei shook her head and said, "Last time, they replaced other people's good goods with inferior goods, and they targeted trading companies with no background. This time, thanks to Section Chief Tao's keen observation, they were able to catch them all."

"Xiao Han, I heard that Section Chief Tao is very beautiful. You saw her yesterday. What did you think of her?"

Han Hui said, "She is very beautiful, but I feel scared when I see her."

This woman was incredibly dangerous, and her identity was anything but ordinary. Since she was intent on concealing the truth, she couldn't reveal it. She just didn't know if this person's purpose for coming to the dock was to do something related to Adolf's shipment.

Dong Xiaomei thought that Tao Jinxiu was very imposing: "You are still young. You won't be afraid when you meet more people in the future."

In the afternoon, Fukada Yumiko returned to the Special Higher Section and reported to Yamano on the investigation at the dock: "Teacher, Li Jingang from the Security Section's third group is very likely a member of the Red Party. I've already sent someone to keep an eye on him."

Shanye knew she was trying to play the long game, so he said, "We must keep a close eye on them. These people are very alert, and we need to arrest them immediately if necessary."

"Hay."

"Besides Li Jingang, have you found anything else?"

Yumiko Fukada said, "There's a fifteen-year-old woman named Han Hui at the dock. She's very skilled. We're short of help right now, and she's the perfect age to tame her."

She knew from Jian Ruoyang that Han Hui was skilled, and during the interrogation, she felt that she was innocent, so she wanted to recruit her for her own use. However, she had to investigate first to confirm that her background was not a problem.

Shanye didn't object, but simply reminded her that the Chinese could be used, but not trusted. Just like Ding Gaoming and the others, using them as tools to combat the Guo and Red Party's anti-Japanese forces was fine, but these people lacked conviction and could betray at any time, so they should never be entrusted with important tasks.

Yumiko Fukada understood this principle long ago, but she still had to listen carefully to her teacher's teachings.
