Espionage codename: Shen Gongbao

Chapter 169 Kidnapping the Tao Family Mother and Daughter

After listening to Chen Gongshu's words, Wang Xuesen remained silent for a long time.

Seeing that he remained silent, Chen Gongshu couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Is it difficult?"

Wang Xuesen leaned back in his chair and tapped his briefcase with his fingers: "Who is Wang Jingwei now? He's the Japanese's precious darling."

"Don't even mention assassination, just getting within three zhang of him would make your ancestors' graves smolder."

"What's wrong with you? You send a tiger-slaying hero here, thinking he can kill Wang Jingwei with one punch?"

Chen Gongshu insisted, "He has a past with Wang Jingwei, so there's still a glimmer of hope, isn't there?"

"Moreover, Mr. Huang made a solemn pledge to Boss Dai: he would either succeed or die trying."

Wang Xuesen shook his head: "I have no doubt about Huang Yiguang's determination."

"But old feelings are something that depends on the timing."

"Before Wang Jingwei defected to the enemy, he would praise a young overseas Chinese with a few words about his patriotism and passion. That was called class."

"Now that he's become a traitor, he's surrounded by Japanese and spies, and the first thing he thinks about when he sees someone is whether they're there to kill him."

"The more famous Huang Yiguang is, the more dangerous he becomes."

Chen Gongshu said in a deep voice, "That's why I need to borrow your way."

Wang Xuesen sneered: "You guys really know how to pick people."

"I had to play the subservient role at No. 76, and I also had to plant assassins around Wang Jingwei for you guys."

"If this gets out, Boss Dai might curse a few times, but my head will be hanging like a lantern at the entrance of Jesfield Road."

Chen Gongshu glanced at him: "Are you scared?"

"Aren't you afraid of dying?" Wang Xuesen retorted.

Chen Gongshu awkwardly touched his chin: "It's like this, Boss Dai knows that when you followed Wang Jingwei back then, you had a good relationship with Chen Bijun's younger brother, Chen Yaozu."

"The boss hopes you can make a difference in this area."

Damn it, Boss Dai is desperate to make a name for himself.

I am Li Yaowa, not Wang Jia Ershizu.

The more you interact with familiar people, the greater the risk of exposure.

Otherwise, he would have already taken advantage of Shen Yue; why would he need to hide?

"Can I refuse?" Wang Xuesen asked.

"I'm the district head. Since I've come to you, it means the higher-ups have run out of options. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered you," Chen Gongshu said apologetically, shrugging.

Wang Xuesen thought for a moment and said, "Alright, we can try Chen Yaozu's approach."

"However, I can't personally push Huang Yiguang over there."

"If this matter were handed over to me, and something happened to him, the Japanese would trace it back to me first."

Chen Gongshu said, "We will arrange a middleman."

"All you need to do is get in touch with Chen Yaozu and find a suitable occasion to let us know the news."

Wang Xuesen narrowed his eyes: "A suitable occasion?"

"for example?"

Chen Gongshu said, "A drinking party, a dance, a card table, anything is fine."

"Chen Yaozu is concerned about his image and also likes to associate with celebrities."

"Huang Yiguang is an overseas Chinese, a hero in the fight against corruption, and has a past relationship with Wang Jingwei. This identity is enough to pique Chen Yaozu's interest."

Wang Xuesen stroked his chin: "The title of 'Tiger-Fighting Hero' is indeed impressive."

"People in Shanghai are most susceptible to this kind of thing."

"What doctor or hero? As long as they come back from abroad, even if they're full of idiots, as long as they have a big name, people will still fawn over them."

Chen Gongshu nodded: "That's exactly what I mean."

Wang Xuesen looked at him: "Where is he now?"

Chen Gongshu said, "We've already arrived in Shanghai and are temporarily hiding in the International Settlement."

"Don't see him."

"The less contact, the safer."

Wang Xuesen said with satisfaction, "That sounds like human language."

Du Song said slowly, "There's one more thing."

Wang Xuesen's expression changed: "There's more?"

"Is my boss treating me like an animal now?"

"Donkeys pulling a millstone need to be fed hay. I haven't even seen any hay yet, and you've been driving it with one whip after another."

Chen Gongshu said helplessly, "I didn't ask you to do it today."

Du Song said, "The boss ordered you to get as close to Zhou Fohai as possible to see if there's any possibility of turning him against us."

Wang Xuesen stared at him and sneered, "Trying to turn Zhou Fohai against you?"

"Are you guys issuing orders recklessly because telegram rates have been so cheap lately?"

Chen Gongshu looked somewhat embarrassed: "The boss only said as much as possible."

Wang Xuesen snorted: "Zhou Fohai just turned Ye Peng to the enemy last year and is riding high."

"He is now the number two figure in the Wang Jingwei regime."

"Trying to turn him against us now would be suicidal."

Du Song said, "That's the logic."

"But Zhou Fohai is a man of deep thoughts, and may not truly be of one mind with the Japanese."

"What the boss means is that you should have more contact and observation."

"Even just by listening to what Yang Shuhui and Yang Xinghua are saying, you can tell that there's a direction to go."

Wang Xuesen cursed Dai Li in his heart: "Fine, I understand."

"I'm gone."

When Wang Xuesen returned home, it was already completely dark.

The yard was dimly lit, and the sound of a kettle sprinkling water came from the back garden.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhan Shen with his sleeves rolled up, bending down to weed for Xiao Min.

Xiaomin squatted by the flower bed, holding a small pair of scissors, chatting and laughing with him.

Zhan Shen was having a great time chatting when he looked up and saw Wang Xuesen.

He immediately straightened his face, stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and pretended to reach for a cigarette.

Installed.

Continue assembling.

Wang Xuesen was too lazy to pay any attention to this guy and went straight upstairs.

After taking a shower, he nestled in Wanjia's arms and relaxed completely.

Su Wanjia massaged his temples: "Why are you so tired?"

Wang Xuesen, with his eyes closed, said, "I'm mentally exhausted."

"Another mission?" Su Wanjia asked, frowning.

Wang Xuesen smelled the faint scent of perfume on her and nodded, saying, "Boss Dai has sent someone again."

"We need to stab the dog."

Su Wanjia paused, her finger poised: "Stab Mr. Wang?"

Wang Xuesen opened his eyes and nodded.

"Huang Yiguang, a Chinese expatriate in Mexico, worked at the flight school. I heard he killed a tiger with his bare hands."

Su Wanjia asked in surprise, "You really killed a tiger?"

Wang Xuesen scoffed, "Who knows?"

"Nine out of ten of Shanghai's reputations are dubious."

"However, this person has a past with Wang. They've met twice and even taken a photo together."

Su Wanjia understood: "The Military Intelligence Bureau wants to use this old relationship to get closer to Wang Jingwei."

Wang Xuesen grunted in agreement: "Let me follow Chen Yaozu's path."

Su Wanjia frowned slightly: "This is too dangerous."

"Although Chen Yaozu is playful and cares about his reputation, he is still a relative of the Wang family."

"If something goes wrong, you'll definitely be implicated."

Wang Xuesen took her hand: "That's why I won't hand it to people myself."

"At most, we'll build a bridge."

"It's too difficult for the Wang family to even see each other now."

"Tomorrow night is Mrs. Fu You'an's birthday. I'm wondering if I can ask him to meet me there."

Su Wanjia was slightly relieved.

She then asked, "What about the Tao family's matter? Will it be settled tonight?"

Wang Xuesen paused for a moment.

"have no idea."

"I've done all the calculations; now it's up to them to do what they want."

Su Wanjia moved closer: "Tell me about it."

Wang Xuesen briefly outlined the arrangements for tonight.

After listening, Su Wanjia frowned and asked, "Did you forget someone?"

Wang Xuesen opened his eyes: "Who?"

"Liu Zhongwen".

"What if Wu Sibao's people can't contact him and call Liu Zhongwen directly?"

Wang Xuesen laughed: "He's my number one target, how could I overlook him?"

"But he most likely won't participate tonight."

Su Wanjia asked, puzzled, "Why?"

Wang Xuesen turned to look at her: "Liu Zhongwen is also the director of the inspection office. He usually has a deadpan expression. Wu Sibao and his gang of thugs are like mice in front of a cat when they see him."

"When these people have problems, they would rather go to Director Li than to Liu Zhongwen."

"If they can't find Wu Sibao, they'll only look for the people on duty in the building."

"Moreover, Hu Junhe is going to dismantle the wiretapping device tonight, and Liu Zhongwen will take the initiative to avoid it."

Su Wanjia blinked: "He knew Hu Junhe was using a wiretap?"

"I think I might know."

"If Hu Junhe had been discreet enough, Liu Zhongwen might not have known."

"He's not a god."

"But that's not important; he will most likely cooperate with Hu Junhe."

Wang Xuesen analyzed.

"Why? It's understandable to eavesdrop on you, but to eavesdrop on Wu Sibao is the director's most trusted person." Su Wanjia was even more confused.

Wang Xuesen said, "Because Hu Junhe and Wu Sibao are both scoundrels."

"Petty people are not scary."

"Li Shiqun is using the deputy director as a bait to keep them in check, because he doesn't want either side to get too powerful."

"How could Liu Zhongwen not see through this little scheme?"

"Hu Junhe secretly planted a few ears to investigate Wu Sibao's leaks, which Liu Zhongwen saw as just dogs fighting each other."

"He doesn't need to get involved."

Su Wanjia said softly, "Then Liu Zhongwen is really targeting you."

Wang Xuesen nodded: "Yes."

"From beginning to end, I was his opponent."

Su Wanjia laughed: "If he knew you understood him so well, he'd probably be so angry he wouldn't be able to eat."

Wang Xuesen put his arm around her: "Absolutely."

"If I can't even handle him, how am I going to get you out of Shanghai in the future?"

Su Wanjia was smiling, but her eyes softened when she heard those words.

"Xuesen, are you really going to leave in the future?"

"Will the blue and red factions really fight?"

Wang Xuesen nodded and said, "Yes."

"And there's no way to avoid it."

"If you still want to wear cheongsams, drink coffee, play cards, and be a beautiful, wealthy lady instead of being dragged to sweep the streets and clean toilets, the only way is to come to Hong Kong with me."

"Of course, we could also buy a piece of land in Africa or Australia and build a small country that belongs to us."

"Then you will be my queen."

Su Wanjia nestled into his arms: "I don't care at all, I'll go wherever you go."

"I'll give you a bunch of kids then."

Wang Xuesen flicked the tip of her nose and teased, "A whole bunch? Are you a sow?"

Su Wanjia pouted: "What's wrong with sows? They give birth to more pigs and get more money."

"If I'm going to take it, I'll take the most."

Wang Xuesen felt secretly embarrassed.

Wanjia is targeting him.

He pretended to have a rhinitis attack, pinched his nose, and didn't dare to respond.

Su Wanjia, however, was quite tactful and changed the subject: "By the way, my brother and sister-in-law have recently taken a lot of money from home again."

"He's the China manager at Mitsubishi, and he's not short of money, so why does he keep taking money from his family?"

Wang Xuesen frowned.

He knew a little bit about the eldest brother of the Su family.

This guy is dealing in arms.

It's hard to say which side it is right now, but it's definitely not honest.

However, there are some things that Su Wanjia is safer not to know.

He laughed and said, "Why are you so greedy?"

"Are you really planning to live off your parents?"

Su Wanjia scoffed, "If I don't keep an eye on the Su family's money, my brother will drain it dry sooner or later."

Wang Xuesen squeezed her hand: "Don't worry about your brother's affairs."

"Knowing too much is no good."

Su Wanjia was taken aback, then nodded: "Mm."

"I doubt he would do something like being a traitor."

Wang Xuesen didn't say anything more, he just hugged the person tighter.

10 PM.

Tao's Residence.

In the bedroom on the second floor, Tao Shengxi's wife He Hui and daughter Tao Shishi were already asleep.

downstairs.

Jiang Jun lay on a rattan chair, his face covered by a hat, and dozed off with his feet propped up on a stone bench.

Several guards from the detachment were patrolling the front and back yards, each muttering curses under their breath.

"The captain is really something. Tao Shengxi has already run away, what's the point of keeping an eye on two women?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Director Li is coming back tomorrow. If something goes wrong tonight, Captain Wu will skin you alive."

"Even if you skin me alive, you have to let me get some sleep."

Jiang Jun flung his hat off and yelled, "Get the hell up to yourselves!"

"Captain Wu said that whoever falls asleep tonight will be sent to the interrogation room to play with Ma Laosan tomorrow."

The group immediately shut up.

The interrogation room was so scary that even a living person would wet themselves if they went in.

Wang Xuesen appeared to be all smiles, but none of his interrogators were easy to deal with.

Just then, the sound of neat military boots came from outside the door.

Several people in the courtyard looked at the gate at the same time.

The next moment, the door was slammed shut with a loud bang.

"Open the door!"

Harsh shouts and curses came from outside.

Jiang Jun sat up irritably, drew his gun, and waved to one of his men.

"Let's go take a look."

"If they're lackeys from the police station or the police department, just kick them out."

The subordinate yawned as he went over and opened the door.

The moment the door opened, the impatience on his face vanished.

A group of Japanese military police wearing armbands stood outside.

The leader was a lieutenant, his riding boots gleaming, and he carried a sword.

The subordinate immediately bowed and said, "Oh, sir."

"What instructions do you have?"

The leading lieutenant immediately launched into a string of Japanese, speaking rapidly and forcefully.

The subordinate stared wide-eyed, and could only force a smile, "Please wait a moment, sir, please wait a moment."

He turned and ran inside, shouting, "Brother Jiang! Brother Jiang! Japanese military police!"

Jiang Jun's expression changed, and he quickly buttoned up his clothes and ran out.

He was usually arrogant in front of Chinese people, but when he saw Japanese soldiers, he would immediately shrink back three inches.

Upon reaching the door, he forced a smile and, in a half-baked tone, feigned servility: "Sir, what important work do you have here?"

The lieutenant gave him a cold look and then spoke another string of Japanese.

Jiang Jun's forehead was covered in sweat.

He didn't understand a single word.

At this moment, a short military policeman in the ranks said in broken Chinese, "The officer said that, following orders from his superiors, the Tao family members are to be taken to the military police station for questioning."

"You, release them right now."

Jiang Jun was stunned: "Bring men?"

He instinctively said, "This won't do, sir."

"The Tao family mother and daughter were personally assigned to be guarded by Director Li."

"We cannot release them without Captain Wu's orders."

The interpreter immediately turned around and translated the message to the lieutenant.

The lieutenant's face darkened abruptly, and he raised his hand to slap Jiang Jun across the face.

Snapped!

Jiang Jun was knocked back two steps.

Before he could speak, the lieutenant drew his sword, pointed it at Chiang Kai-shek's troops, and shouted sternly.

The interpreter, a military policeman, followed up with a curse: "Baka!"

"You dare to obstruct the military police from carrying out their duties?"

"What kind of person is Wu Sibao?"

"Make him go to the military police headquarters to explain!"

Jiang Jun covered his face, feeling both shocked and angry, but dared not lash out.

What he feared most were these ruthless Japanese soldiers.

If he were actually killed on the spot, Wu Sibao would at most curse a few times afterward, but he would never avenge him.

But if he gets taken away, he won't be able to explain it.

Jiang Jun gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, please wait."

"I'll make a phone call and ask for instructions."

The interpreter immediately retorted, "What are you asking for instructions about?"

"An order from the military police is an order!"

Jiang Jun forced a smile: "It's not that I don't trust the Japanese officer, it's just that Captain Wu's side—"

The lieutenant waved his hand impatiently.

The two military policemen pushed aside Chiang Kai-shek's troops and rushed into the courtyard.

Jiang Jun panicked and reached out to stop him.

Immediately, a military policeman pressed a gun to his chest.

Jiang Jun immediately raised his hand obediently: "Please calm down, sir, the person is upstairs."

"Please, please!"

Jiang Anhua and his men rushed up, dragged Tao's mother and daughter out of the car, threw them into the car, and drove off without saying a word.

The military police arrived quickly and left quickly.

Jiang Jun stood there in the courtyard, his mind blank.

One of his men swallowed hard and whispered, "Brother Jun, what should we do?"

Jiang Jun remained silent, touching his numb cheek.

That's incredibly bad luck.

Just because he asked one more question, he got slapped by a Japanese man, and his molars came loose.

He licked his cheeks and spat a mouthful of bloody foam onto the ground: "What do we do?"

"Cold salad."

"If the military police arrest someone, do you dare chase after them and try to rob them?"

The subordinate scratched his head, still looking uneasy: "Brother Jun, why don't we ask Captain Wu for instructions immediately?"

"If it's the Military Intelligence Bureau or the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics in disguise, then we'll be in big trouble."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jun's heart sank.

Before the Japanese arrived, they often impersonated police officers and police station personnel to kidnap and extort money.

They are familiar with this approach.

It is precisely because of familiarity that one knows how disgusting it is.

You think the other party is a fake military policeman? They don't look like one.

If the other party is a real military police officer, they should at least inform the people in the building.

Tao Shengxi's family members were people that Director Li personally instructed to keep an eye on.

Director Li will return to Shanghai tomorrow.

If it was the military police who took them away, that would be fine. But if it were someone else, Director Li would skin them alive.

Jiang Jun grew increasingly agitated and yelled at his men, "What are you all standing around for? Close the door and keep watch inside and out!"

"No one is allowed to run around!"

After saying that, he quickly went into the house and promptly dialed Wu Sibao's office number.

The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.

Jiang Jun's forehead was covered in sweat as he wiped it again.

Still no one answered.

He cursed and immediately dialed Wu Sibao's home phone number again.

This time, someone answered the door; it was a servant from the Wu family.

Wu Sibao was not home.

One of his men poked his head in from inside and asked, "Brother Jun, what did Brother Bao say?"

"Shut up."

"He/She is not here."

Jiang Jun scratched his hair in frustration.

Given Wu Sibao's temperament, if Director Li is coming back tomorrow, he should be waiting at home tonight, even if he's not at No. 76.

But at this crucial moment, the person disappeared.

That's really weird.

The subordinate hesitated, then said, "Should we call the duty room?"

"Hu Junhe is on duty recently, ask him to inquire with the military police."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jun's expression turned even uglier.

"Looking for him?"

"Did you get your head caught in a door?"

"Don't you know what kind of relationship Bao Ge and Lao Hu have now?"

"If Hu Junhe finds out about this, won't he try to make things difficult for Brother Bao?"

The subordinate said, forcing a smile, "Brother Jun, what if it really was an outsider who kidnapped them? If we miss the deadline, we won't be able to get them back."

"If Director Li asks us about it, we'll all lose our heads."

Jiang Jun wanted to curse, but couldn't bring himself to say it.

That may sound harsh, but it makes sense.

Delaying reporting is tantamount to certain death.

Reporting it to Hu Junhe might also mean certain death.

Jiang Jun gritted his teeth and said, "No rush, let me find Mr. Liu first."

He then dialed Liu Zhongwen's office number.

No one answered.

He wanted to call Liu Zhongwen's family building again, but the number was not something a nobody like him could know.

Jiang Jun held the receiver, extremely worried.

"Damn it, there's no way out."

"Call Hu Junhe!"

76 number.

The lights were still on in the intelligence office.

Hu Junhe sat on the sofa and played chess with Peng Sanhu.

Peng Sanhu was drowsy and kept dozing off as he went downstairs.

Hu Junhe was drinking tea, looking quite energetic.

He can't sleep tonight.

The eavesdropping must be handled thoroughly.

Li Shiqun does not oppose internal oversight, but that does not mean he can tolerate eavesdropping on Wang and Wu.

One of these two is a newly rich man who can give money and get things done.

One of them was the fiercest dog in Li Shiqun's possession.

If it's discovered, it will cause a lot of trouble.

Especially Wang Xuesen.

They're family, after all; it would be embarrassing to expose them.

Needless to say, Wu Sibao was also involved.

If that brute knew he was being wiretapped, he probably would have led the entire guard unit to smash up the intelligence office.

Therefore, this move must be made to finish the game.

Peng Sanhu yawned and whispered, "Brother He, all the people on duty in the building are our people."

"Should I go and remove the wiretapping now?"

Hu Junhe glanced at the alarm clock on the wall.

The clock had just struck 10:30.

"No rush."

"It's still early."

"Wait until it's quieter in the building."

"If this gets out, we'll both be in big trouble."

Peng Sanhu immediately sobered up and nodded quickly: "Understood."

"I keep my mouth shut."

Hu Junhe gave a soft snort.

He knew Peng Sanhu wasn't very tight-lipped, but this man had one advantage: he was obedient, afraid of death, and easy to control.

Before the game of chess had even been played two moves, the phone on the table suddenly rang.

Hu Junhe got up, walked to his desk, and picked up the receiver: "It's me."

"Yeah?"

"The person was taken away by the military police?"

Which military police unit?

"Don't worry."

"I see."

"You stay here at the Tao residence and are not allowed to go anywhere."

"Also, continue to contact Captain Wu."

"Let me ask Lieutenant Shibuya for you first."

"right."

"Hold the line."

"That's what everyone says when they ask: the military police were ordered to bring people in."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Peng Sanhu immediately asked, "Brother He, what happened?"

Hu Junhe did not rush to answer.

He walked back to the sofa, picked up his tea, took a sip, and slowly said, "The Chiang army has lost Tao Shengxi's family members, saying that the military police took them away."

"Gao Zongwu and Tao Xisheng leaked the secret agreement in Hong Kong, causing the Japanese and Mr. Wang to lose face."

"It's understandable that the military police took their anger out on Tao Shengxi's family."

Hu Junhe said this, but his face was beaming with a smile.

This is too much of a coincidence.

Peng Sanhu quickly realized what was going on: "But why did they come to you instead of Wu Sibao first?"

Hu Junhe smiled. "Wu Sibao isn't here."

"He went out drinking with the Green Gang."

He picked up a chess piece and gently tapped it on the chessboard.

"I heard that Wan Molin has returned to Shanghai."

"Although Du Yuesheng was hiding in Hong Kong, he still had many old friends in Shanghai."

"Zhang Xiaolin and Du Yuesheng were brothers in the past. No matter how much they turn against each other on the surface, some old grudges may not be completely settled."

"Perhaps this was a scheme orchestrated by Zhang Xiaolin to give Du Yuesheng face."

Peng Sanhu blinked and chuckled dryly, "Brother He, you mean—"

"Hmm?" Hu Junhe frowned and looked at him.

Peng Sanhu immediately understood and said, "Wu Sibao deliberately let things go; the Tao family mother and daughter were kidnapped. Is he colluding with them from the inside?"

Hu Junhe pointed at him and said, "The one who understands me is Sanhu."

He leaned back in his chair, a look of relief finally appearing on his face.

Wu Sibao ruined his plan to catch a big fish at his bookstore and even beat up his nephew Zhou Xian, causing him to lose face completely.

The person Li Shiqun had entrusted with the most important task has now been lost under Wu Sibao's command.

With these two issues put together, even if Li Shiqun is protecting Wu Sibao, he still has to give an explanation.

There is only one deputy director position.

What Hu Junhe lacks most right now is neither seniority nor ability.

What's missing is Wu Sibao making a fool of himself or making a mistake.

When God hands you a knife, you might as well take advantage of it.

Peng Sanhu became excited, even his sleepiness vanished: "Brother He, what do we do now?"

Hu Junhe slowly stood up, walked to the Shanghai map hanging on the wall, and calculated the evacuation route and time from the Tao family.

not enough.

There isn't enough time.

It will be very troublesome if the Japanese launch a comprehensive blockade.

We can't pursue them now; we need to buy Wan Molin's people more time.

"Since we've received the call, we still need to follow the procedures."

"Go and report to Lieutenant Shibuya now."

"remember!"

"So that the gatekeepers and patrol officers can all see you."

"If Director Li asks later, we'll have something to say."

Hu Junhe, with his shrewd and calculating nature, gave the instructions.

Peng Sanhu stood up: "Understood."

"I'll go right away."

As he reached the door, he turned back and asked, "Brother Tsuru, what if Lieutenant Shibuya really gets involved in this?"

Hu Junhe smiled.

"Shibuya?"

"He's no longer the poor lieutenant he used to be."

"The director and Wang Xuesen fed him so much that his mouth was overflowing with oil, bought him a house on Xiafei Road, and kept a woman as a mistress."

"It's late at night, he might not still be squatting in the building."

Even if he finds it, he might not want to get involved in such dirty work.

Peng Sanhu chuckled: "Then I understand."

Hu Junhe returned to the chessboard and played a move against himself.

The chess piece is placed.

He couldn't help but laugh.

Wu Sibao, oh Wu Sibao.

No one escapes the wrath of Heaven; you deserve to be framed and suffer such bad luck.

This time I'll see what you'll say when the director comes back.

A dozen minutes later.

Peng Sanhu hurried back, grinning, and said, "Brother He, you were absolutely right."

"Lieutenant Shibuya is not here."

"I asked the Japanese soldier at the gate, and he said he went out for a social event last night and hasn't come back yet."

Hu Junhe nodded in satisfaction.

"It's not good."

Peng Sanhu leaned closer and asked, "Shouldn't we ask the military police for instructions?"

Hu Junhe waved his hand: "No rush."

"Let's give Lao Liu a heads-up first."

"The more people who know, the more people will take responsibility."

He walked to the table, picked up the phone, and dialed Liu Zhongwen's home number.

The phone rang for quite a while before it was answered.

Hu Junhe smiled and said, "Old Liu, it's me."

"I'm sorry to bother you so late."

"I just got a call from Jiang Jun saying that Tao Shengxi's wife and daughter have been taken away by the military police."

"I think this is a big deal, so I need to let you know."

"Look, could you get in touch with the director and Si Bao?"

"I've already sent Mitsuko to ask Lieutenant Shibuya for instructions."

"He's not here either."

"So I'm going to check with the military police liaison office again."

"What do you think?"

"Okay, I'll contact them right away."

After hanging up the phone.

He immediately contacted the military police.

He deliberately spoke Japanese slowly, with his feet moving and dragging his feet.

The Japanese officer on duty there was very impatient.

After some back and forth, the other party finally understood and told him to wait for a reply.

Hu Junhe put down the telegram, and Hu Penglinghu spread his hands and smiled: "The military police want to check the troop movement records of each unit, which is not something we can rush."

Peng Linghu smiled knowingly and agreed, "It's because they're slow."

"It has nothing to do with the order."

"I'll go and remove the wiretapping."

"Brother He, should I leave after this is all settled?"

Hu Junhe nodded: "Be clean. Wu Sibao is stupid, but Wang Xuesen is very shrewd."

Peng Sanhu nodded: "Don't worry."

"The wires run from the base, and when I took it apart, I even put the dust back in its original place."

Just then, the phone finally rang.

Hu Junhe picked up the receiver: "It's me."

"it is good."

"I see."

"I immediately sent men to assist the military police in blocking the intersection."
