Chapter 845 Lane 95, Yidingpan Road

   "Thank you." Xiao Ou clasped his fists in thanks, then turned and left.

   Shopkeeper Tong looked at Xiaoou's leaving back with meaningful eyes, and remained silent.

  Xiao Ou seemed to be able to feel the pair of eyes behind him staring at him, and he also had mixed feelings in his heart, and for a moment he didn't know whether it was disappointment or happiness.

  He didn't look back, and he didn't stop in his footsteps. He kept moving forward, and soon his back disappeared.

  No. 10, Lane 95, Yidingpan Road.

  Li Cuiqun stood at the window, pulled the blinds, glanced at the alley outside, with a gloomy expression, "This place is not safe, we need to change places as soon as possible."

  With the expansion of his agents, No. 67 Daxi Road was no longer enough space, so Li Cuiqun asked his wife Ye Xiaoqing to come forward and rented No. 10, Lane 95, Yidingpan Road as another place for spy activities.

  However, Li Cuiqun, who attaches great importance to his own safety, is not satisfied with this place after field inspection.

  This place is located at the bottom of the alley at 95 Yidingpan Road. The alley is narrow and cars cannot turn around, which is very unfavorable for spy activities.

  In addition, because it is at the bottom of the alley, there is almost no room for maneuvering and moving. Once besieged by the enemy, it is very easy to cause a situation of being "closed and beaten".

   "The subordinates have already arranged for the brothers to strengthen their vigilance." Zhang Lu said loudly.

  Li Cuiqun nodded, Zhang Lu was his most trusted subordinate and number one bodyguard.

  …

   "Did you find any clues?" Li Cuiqun returned to his desk and sat down, and asked casually.

  Wang Kangnian 'disappeared', which aroused Li Cuiqun's great interest.

  Yes, Li Cuiqun has arranged for someone to secretly watch Wang Kangnian, not because he suspects that there is something wrong with Wang Kangnian, but because of "struggle needs".

  Li Cuiqun and Ding Mutun carefully studied the development and planning of the secret service agencies under their headquarters. They agreed that the number one obstacle hindering their development was Wang Kangnian and the Shanghai Police Department's detective brigade in Wang Kangnian's hands!

  Wang Kangnian's detective brigade focused on searching, investigating, apprehending, and suppressing anti-Japanese elements. These tasks were highly overlapped with the secret service agencies in the hands of Ding and Li.

  For the special forces in their hands to grow stronger, in addition to arresting anti-Japanese elements to gain further recognition from the Japanese side, there is also an urgent task to remove the obstacle of the detective brigade, or in other words, it is best to annex the detective brigade.

  Under such circumstances, Wang Kangnian became the thorn in the side of Ding Mutun and Li Cuiqun.

  The two of them might have considered recruiting Wang Kangnian.

Before he defected to the Japanese, Wang Kangnian was only a team leader of the Shanghai District Action Unit of the Party Affairs Investigation Department. There is a huge difference in comparison, even compared with Li Cuiqun, he is also a junior who is much worse.

  However, the reality is that the size and power of the detective brigade is higher than that of Li Cuiqun's secret service, and the backbone of the detective brigade is Wang Kangnian's previous subordinates or colleagues in the Party Affairs Investigation Office.

   Both Dingmutun and Li Cuiqun are well aware of the beauty of power. Since people like Wang Kangnian have power in their hands, how can they be willing to submit to others?

  Since this is the case, the only way is to find a way to get rid of Wang Kangnian.

  As long as Wang Kangnian is dealt with, the detective brigade, with members of the former Shanghai District of the Party Affairs Investigation Department as the backbone and some police officers from the former Shanghai Police Department as its branches, is itself the best supplementary force for Ding and Li's secret agents.

  Therefore, Wang Kangnian suddenly 'disappeared'. This matter immediately aroused Li Cuiqun's strong interest, and he immediately sent someone to investigate.

  The news I found now is that Wang Kangnian was called by the Shanghai Super High School to report on his work, and then he never returned.

  Although the Japanese said that they had arranged for Captain Wang to carry out an urgent mission, Wang Kangnian left very suddenly without even explaining to his subordinates, which inevitably aroused some discussions and suspicions within the detective team.

   As a result, it also attracted Li Cuiqun's attention.

   "I don't have any clue yet." Zhang Lu shook his head, "The subordinates sent someone to investigate, but no one was found in Wuniang Lane."

  Li Cuiqun frowned.

  Zhang Lu sent people to Wuguniang Lane to look for Cao Yu.

  Cao Yu, who has already taken refuge in secret, is equivalent to Li Cuiqun's nail in the detective team.

  Cao Yu also disappeared, which immediately strengthened Li Cuiqun's judgment:

  Wang Kangnian must have had an accident.

  Although I don't know what went wrong, but something must have happened.

   Was involved in a certain case?

   Or was it really sent by the Japanese to perform a secret mission?

   It's just that he thought about it, but couldn't get it.

  Wang Kangnian was very active in arresting anti-Japanese elements after he defected to the Japanese. It is said that he especially hated the Red Party.

   Therefore, he did not expect for a while that the Japanese thought Wang Kangnian was a hidden agent of the Red Party and had already arrested him for interrogation.

  …

   "Report." There was a knock on the door.

   "Come in." Zhang Lu first looked at Li Cuiqun, Li Cuiqun nodded slightly, and then Zhang Lu shouted.

   "Captain, we found it." A short agent came in and said to Zhang Lu.

   "What did you find?" Li Cuiqun asked immediately.

   "Report, sir." The little man hurriedly reported, "The Japanese are searching for Ou Yingchun from the detective team."

   "Are you sure it's 'hunting'? Not looking for?" Li Cuiqun immediately grasped the key word.

   "It's 'manhunt'."

  Li Cuiqun and Zhang Lu looked at each other.

  Zhang Lu nodded, "Sir, this is Hu Lang, I mentioned it to you."

   This means that this subordinate is cautious and reliable, and will not talk nonsense.

  It is very important to understand the disposition of your subordinates. Some people like to add embellishment to everything, some will subconsciously magnify something, and some do things not meticulously enough, so that they catch the wind, or the words do not convey the meaning.

   After asking a few more questions, Hu Lang had no further information, so Li Cuiqun waved his hand to signal his subordinates to leave.

   "How much do you know about Ou Yingchun?" Li Cuiqun asked Zhang Lu.

  Zhang Lu shook his head. His main duty is to protect Li Cuiqun's safety, and he doesn't participate much in intelligence work.

  Li Cuiqun rubbed the center of his brows. Although the team continued to grow and there were a lot of people under him, most of them were hackers, and there was still a lack of capable professionals.

   "Find out the situation of Ou Yingchun." Li Cuiqun ordered in a deep voice.

"yes!"

   "There is more." Li Cuiqun pondered for a moment, then said, "Focus on checking the docks and stuck points. Ou Yingchun was arrested by the Japanese. If he is smart enough, he will definitely find a way to escape from Shanghai as soon as possible."

   "Understood." Zhang Lu nodded, as if thinking of something, his expression moved slightly.

   "What's wrong?" Li Cuiqun glanced at his subordinates.

   "If you are looking for someone, there are two people who are more capable than us." Zhang Lu thought for a while and said.

  Li Cuiqun understood that one of the two people Zhang Lu was talking about was Old Man Ji from the Green Gang.

  Li Cuiqun nodded. He has always been quite envious of the power of the Green Gang. He thought about how to link up. It would be best to be able to control this "monster" in his hands. This time may be a good opportunity.

  As for the other person in Zhang Lu’s mouth—

   "You mean Cheng Qianfan?"
