After executing four of Tang Kanlao's men, Koizumi Xinze's anxious mood was relieved.

However, this relief was only temporary, and soon he received another piece of news from Bai Chuan that affected his mood.

 Tong Xueyong is missing.

Compared to Tang Kanlao who actually ordered his men to attack the locust army and forcefully break out of the encirclement, Tong Xueyong disappeared almost silently.

 The target of Koizumi Nobuze's operation at Jiming Temple was Tong Xueyong, but by some mistake, it turned into an operation to arrest Tang Kanlao.

As for Bai Chuan, who was ordered to search for Tang Wenlao at the Confucius Temple, he naturally failed. Then Bai Chuan, who received the latest order from Koizumi Nobuze, began to search for Tong Xueyong in Nanjing City.

The current situation is that the locust army captured six of Tong Xueyong's men at the teahouse. The other three were not at the teahouse and took advantage of the chaos to escape. As for Tong Xueyong himself, according to the confessions obtained from the interrogation of the six people, Tong Xueyong went to the store to buy back Shanghai one's gift.

The locust army searched some shops and found no trace of Tong Xueyong. It was as if this person had disappeared from the world.

 “Tongxueyong!” Koizumi Nobuze said the name with a gloomy expression.

Tang Kanlao noticed something when he was facing arrest, so he suddenly resisted. Compared with Tang Kanlao's sudden resistance, Tong Xueyong's silent disappearance showed greater subjective initiative.

 Or, to put it more bluntly, in Koizumi Nobuzawa's view, Tong Xueyong is more like the most important fish among the two, this person is a planned escape in advance.

“What did the Secret Service Headquarters say?” Koizumi Nozawa asked in a deep voice.

 After it was confirmed that Tong Xueyong was missing, Bai Chuan was ordered to go to the Laohuqiao secret service headquarters for questioning.

"According to Ding Mutun, Tong Xueyong had a daughter. He regarded the girl Tingting as a treasure. When he was arrested and interrogated by the Shanghai Special Higher Education School, he kept his mouth shut. It was the Shanghai authorities who threatened him with his daughter. He had no choice but to He was forced to surrender later." Baichuan said, "So, after learning that Tong Xueyong was missing, Dingmutun immediately called Shanghai and asked Shanghai to arrest Tong Tingting immediately."

Seeing Shirakawa's gloomy expression, Koizumi Nobuzawa's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but ask, "But is there a problem in Shanghai?"

"Yes." Bai Chuan nodded, "Call back from Jisi Feier Road in Shanghai. Tong Tingting is missing."

“Okay! Great, great!” Koizumi Xinze laughed angrily, “We have lost a living person like Tong Xueyong here in Dingmu Tun, and Li Cuiqun can’t even see a child over there!”

Baichuan knew that what Koizumi Nobuze said was actually unfair to Li Cuiqun. Compared with the deceitful situation in Nanjing, there was actually no necessary action to monitor Tong Tingting in Shanghai. You know, compared with Shanghai, Tong Xueyong She is one of our own. Unless she receives an order or discovers some clues in advance, there is no need to monitor Tong Tingting.

However, Bai Chuan chose to keep his mouth shut. Naturally, he would not and had no obligation to speak justice for Li Cuiqun, a stranger.

The most important thing is that he can understand Koizumi Nobuze's anger. One of Tang Wenlao and Tong Xueyong took advantage of the heavy rain to sneak attack on the locust army to break through, and the other absconded and disappeared. For Xinze, it can be said that he has handed over a disappointing work report card.

Koizumi Nobuzawa's face was livid. He was looking through the documents submitted to him by Shirakawa. It contained the address and name of the store that Shirakawa led people to search, as well as the interview statements of the store owner and clerk.

 Koizumi Nobuzawa’s brows furrowed.

"Shirakawa."

 “Hai.”

“If you are a tourist coming to Nanjing from other places, and you are going to leave Nanjing and go home, and you want to buy some gifts, which shops will you choose?” Koizumi Nobuze asked.

"Of course it's some shops selling Nanjing specialties..." Baichuan said, his face changed, and he understood where the problem was.

He led people to search the shops, with no particular direction. They were centered on the teahouse where Tong Xueyong's men were arrested, and all the shops in the surrounding Wuhuali.

wrong!

 The search scope should be expanded and the focus should be on shops selling Nanjing local specialties.

"Judging from the information we have so far, Tong Xueyong is very cautious and will try to avoid loopholes when doing things." Koizumi Xinze said, "This person told his men that he was going to buy back gifts from Shanghai. So, when he absconded, he became Before the fact, or before he separated from his subordinates and successfully absconded, in order to avoid arousing suspicion, he would definitely visit the specialty store."

After a pause, Koizumi Nobuzawa's eyes lit up and he said, "Even, we have reason to suspect that the place where Tong Xueyong finally disappeared could be a specialty store?"

"What do you mean?" Bai Chuan said thoughtfully, "Tong Xueyong has a cautious temperament. He will not casually say that he will buy gifts from Shanghai. Since he said so, he is prepared not to be suspected before escaping. So "There is nothing safer than going to a Nanjing specialty store."

 Koizumi Nobuzawa nodded slightly.

 The analysis leads to this conclusion. It seems that it is most likely a loophole in Tong Xueyong's behavior, which is not in line with Tong Xueyong's cautious temperament. In fact, this is a subconscious behavior derived from this person's cautious character.

“Focus on the search for Nanjing specialty shops in the city.” Koizumi Nobuze said in a deep voice, “Search carefully, I have a hunch that we will gain something.”

 “Hai!”

 …

 Liu Xia knocked on the door and came in. She came to Chu Mingyu and whispered before leaving.

 Cheng Qianfan noticed that Chu Mingyu's expression changed slightly and he looked at him frequently.

He was startled, and at the same time he was thinking about whether there was something wrong with him.

 “Thousand sails.”

“Hey, Uncle Chu, I’m here.”

“You just said that the person from Meiji you met in Confucius Temple Curio Street was called...”

"Bai Chuan." Cheng Qianfan replied, "Bai Chuan Yi Lang, a member of the concubine's room in Meiji."

“That’s right.” Chu Mingyu nodded, “This Bai Chuan came to Tiger Bridge before.”

“Did you catch Tang Kanlao?” Cheng Qianfan couldn’t help but ask, “At that time, Shirakawa Ipnami and Yano Fuji were searching for Tang Kanlao.”

“It’s not Tang Zhunlao.” Chu Mingyu shook his head, “It’s Tong Xueyong.”

 “Tongxueyong?”

"Yes." Chu Mingyu nodded, "Tong Xueyong disappeared. Bai Chuan Yilang came to Laohuqiao to question him, and his attitude was very bad."

 He snorted coldly.

 Baichuan Yilang came to Tiger Bridge angrily and asked for people from the secret service headquarters.

Although Chu Mingyu is now quite dissatisfied with the secret service headquarters and Dingmutun, Shirakawa Ipnami, an ordinary secretary of the Mei Agency's general office, came to Laohuqiao to openly accuse the army, which even made Dingmutun a little embarrassed. , which still made Chu Mingyu quite unhappy.

 “Tong Xueyong is missing?!” Cheng Qianfan was surprised, and then his face darkened, “Uncle Chu, where is Tang Kanlao? Is there any news about Tang Kanlao?”

Chu Mingyu was very satisfied with Cheng Cheng Qianfan’s quick response:

In this incident, Tong Xueyong and Tang Wenlao were obviously one and the same. Tong Xueyong was missing, so it was impossible that Tang Wenlao did not take action. "I just got the news that Koizumi Xinze and his men arrested Tang Wenlao at Jiming Temple. Tang Wenlao and his men attacked the military police," Chu Mingyu said.

“What?” Cheng Qianfan exclaimed, “Tang Kanlao actually attacked the Japanese military police?”

He shook his head and nodded again, "He didn't run away. Tang Wenlao is indeed a Chongqing member. His identity was discovered and he is dying."

"It's better to say it was a desperate move." Chu Mingyu disagreed with Cheng Qianfan's terminology of "dying struggle." "Tang Kanlao took advantage of the heavy rain to successfully break out and escape."

 Cheng Qianfan was shocked.

 This is really shocking:

Facing the arrest of the Japanese military police, he dared to directly resist. I don’t know what kind of methods he adopted, but he actually instigated his subordinates to attack the Japanese, and even successfully broke through.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talking about this matter, Tang Wenlao really made Cheng Qianfan look at him with admiration.

“This Tang Zhenlao is really impressive.” Cheng Qianfan said, “My nephew has had many contacts with this person, and I didn’t expect him to have such courage and ability.”

“Special Agent Headquarters, huh.” Chu Mingyu snorted coldly, “It’s not a small problem.”

Cheng Qianfan also sneered in his heart.

Not to mention the specific circumstances of Tong Xueyong's disappearance, nor what evidence the Japanese had previously obtained to prove that Tang and Tong were Chongqing elements. It is only said that Tang Wenlao led people to attack the Japanese military police. This incident is enough to make Chongmei Tun is extremely passive.

Even if Dingmutun took the initiative to provide the Japanese with evidence that Tang and Tong had problems, this attack on the Japanese military police made things completely messy and the Japanese lost face. Dingmutun was not only responsible for the leadership. The question of responsibility has arisen, and his ability will also be greatly questioned.

 In other words, in addition to the Japanese, in Wang Chenghai's mind, if it cannot be restored in time, Dingmutun's image and capabilities will also be greatly reduced.

 At the same time, this information also coincided with his previous judgment that there was something going on in the direction of Jiming Temple that he had been paying attention to.

 …

"Mr. Wang has returned to Shanghai. He asked me to move to Nanjing." Chu Mingyu sighed, "But I didn't expect such a thing to happen."

 Cheng Qianfan was also shocked when he heard Chu Mingyu's words.

Wang Chuhai has secretly left Ning and returned to Shanghai? !

He had to admire Wang's careful arrangements for Li Ning this time.

  It can even be said that Sun Tzu’s Art of War was used—

Everyone knows that Chu Mingyu serves the Wang family. Wherever Wang reclaims the sea, there is Chu Mingyu.

Wang's decision to keep Chu Mingyu as queen is inherently confusing, making people subconsciously think that Wang Chuhai is still in Nanjing, but they don't expect that Chu Mingyu is just a deception.

“Dingmu Tun is incompetent and the Secret Service Headquarters is a mess. How can uncle blame me?” Cheng Qianfan sneered, not concealing his contempt for the Secret Service Headquarters and Dingmu Tun. “They have made a mistake, and they still have to trouble uncle to wipe their butts.”

"Nonsense." Chu Mingyu snorted coldly, "Director Ding is the pillar of the party and the country. He has complicated matters and may have things that cannot be taken care of. How can you, a junior like you, speak rudely?"

"Yes, my nephew Meng Lang." Cheng Qianfan said quickly, but his expression was clearly unconvinced.

Chu Mingyu shook his head, pointed at Cheng Qianfan, and said, "You bastard, you can't suffer any loss." He didn't say much.

Cheng Qianfan thought about it in his mind. Chu Mingyu's words, "Things are complicated, and there may be things that cannot be taken care of" have a profound meaning.

 …

"This Yanbahu is indeed good." Liu Bo couldn't help but admired after hearing what He Guan and Fang Muheng told about seeing Yanbahu kill the traitor who wanted to report.

As he spoke, he sighed and talked about Feng Sanniang, "Feng Sanniang's murder was a huge blow to Yan Bahu, or a kind of baptism. He had the most direct hatred of Japanese militarism among the Chinese people. "

"And this most direct hatred for the Japanese invaders and the traitors is the simplest anti-Japanese thought." Liu Bo said.

"It's not just that." He Guan said, "Yan Bahu listened to your teachings, Brother Liu. He is a vulgar person, but he knows the hatred of the country and the family, and the righteousness of the family and the country."

"Well said." Liu Bo said with admiration. He looked at He Guan with joy in his eyes, "Three days of separation should be treated with admiration. A Guan has made great progress in all aspects during the time he has been recovering from his injuries. "

He Guan waved his hand and said that his foundation was poor and there was still a lot of room for improvement.

Fang Muheng glanced at He Guan. These words he just said to He Guan were now used by this guy.

“Since that person can find out that Brother Liu has a problem here, this is a bad sign.” Fang Muheng said, “This means that other people may also notice this.”

He said to Liu Bo with a serious expression, "Comrade Liu Yinwen, we can't stay here any longer. What I mean is that we must move as soon as possible."

Liu Bo felt a little dazed when he looked at Fang Muheng, who had a serious expression and an extremely solemn and determined attitude.

The eldest son of the Fang family, who knew nothing and only had passion, but made many mistakes that implicated other people, is now an excellent Bolshevik warrior!

“Comrade Chen Kewen is right,” He Guan said. “It’s no longer safe here.”

"I understand what you mean." Liu Bo nodded, "In the long run, it is indeed necessary to transfer. However, I have considered your concerns before."

He said to Comrade Chen Kewen and Comrade Huang Zhongyuan, "Yan Bahu is the incense master of the Anqing Gang and is responsible for this street. If there is any trouble here, Yan Bahu will be informed of it immediately, just like today in this way."

 Liu Bo scattered cigarettes to He Guan and Fang Muheng, and continued, "So, in the short term, it should be safe here."

Seeing that Fang Muheng wanted to persuade him again, Liu Bo said, "I still have missions here. It's not easy to evacuate now."

He Guan frowned, "That traitor said that there are many people coming and going at night..."

"Yes." Liu Bo nodded, "There is a group of patriotic and anti-Japanese young people who want to be sent out of Nanjing."

He Guan and Fang Muheng looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

He Guan said, "It seems that Comrade Liu Yinwen's two cigarettes are not so easy to smoke. You have to work after smoking."

Liu Bo laughed loudly and asked, "Did you guess it?"

"The troop transportation work is confidential and has nothing to do with our mission into the city." Fang Muheng said with a smile, "Comrade Liu Yinwen suddenly told us, isn't this what we are asked to do?"

 The three of them looked at each other and smiled.
