Lost and Spy

Chapter 677 Action Begins

Major Atsushi Komatsu has served in Shanghai for three and a half years, but he has only entered the concession once.

The imperial crusade has begun and Shanghai is occupied.

Major Atsushi Komatsu originally thought that he could finally have a good time in Shanghai, but he didn't expect that the task would be even heavier.

Especially the last time Yoshikawa Wumen died in the Xinya Hotel, he was flying like a dog.

Atsushi Komatsu has been working under high load for a long time.

Can't get a good rest at all...

……

"General Bannai Koying is about to arrive."

Matsumoto Rensuke looked serious: "While we are being investigated, we must also ensure the safety of Your Excellency the General, otherwise, we people can only commit seppuku."

"Nothing goes wrong this time."

Gu Fanyuan also did not dare to take it lightly: "The people involved in the protection work are all transferred from other places. Even if there are traitors among us, we will not be able to get any information."

"Report."

Kawamoto Kojiro walked in.

"Happening?"

"Miao Chengfang has been staying in his residence the entire time. He has not left for half a step. Even food and drink are brought in by someone. It seems that he is unwell and lazy to move around."

"I'll just say, Miao Chengfang is trustworthy." Matsumoto Hitotsu looked very satisfied, and then glanced at Habara Koichi intentionally or unintentionally:

"Your Excellency Major, Miao Chengfang is a person trusted by General Fujiwara. I don't think you will doubt the vision of Your Excellency General again and again?"

"Ah, yes, I think I was wrong."

Habara Koichi replied nonchalantly.

……

24 hours ago.

"Mr. Miao, we have encountered a major setback."

Kawamoto Kojiro came to visit Miao Chengfang on purpose: "The Yoshikawa five families were assassinated, which made everyone a target of suspicion. For this reason, the superior sent a special envoy to investigate this matter."

"is it?"

Miao Chengfang put down the book in his hand: "I have heard about the death of the five gates of Jichuan, and it was also done by Meng Shaoyuan. This man is everywhere in Shanghai."

"Yes, so we are also worried about the safety of your special envoy this time..."

special envoy?Name?position?Purpose?Miao Chengfang quickly began to think.

Kawamoto Kojiro said solemnly: "Your Excellency, there must be no more accidents, otherwise this will be a disgrace to the Shanghai Secret Service of the Empire of Japan... You know the military command very well, and you also know Meng Shaoyuan very well..."

My last government status was from the Central Commissioner, why do you say you know the military command?Why do you say that you know Meng Shaoyuan very well?I am different from Tian Qi, and I am not Meng Shaoyuan's subordinate.

Unless the identity is exposed?
No, if his identity was revealed, he would not be sitting here anymore. Miao Chengfang was very sure of his judgment.If they really want to understand Meng Shaoyuan, they should be looking for Tian Qi now!

What is his purpose in saying that?

Kawamoto Kojiro continued: "So we urgently need your assistance this time...Mr. Miao, I would like to invite you to participate in the formulation of the protection plan for His Excellency Special Envoy!"

invite me?

I am "Wasp", a senior latent agent under the direct leadership of Fujiwara Kikawa. When Fujiwara Kikawa is not in China, we cooperate with Colonel Matsumoto Nitsutsu.

The one who invited me, Miao Chengfang, should be Mr. Matsumoto Nitsutsu, not you Kawamoto Kojiro!
Miao Chengfang asked casually: "How should I help you?"

"Your Excellency Special Envoy, I will arrive in Shanghai by train at 11:[-] noon tomorrow, and under escort, I will enter the International Settlement..."

wrong.

If you come by train, you should immediately enter the Hongkou Naval Base or New Asia Hotel when you get off the train.

One is safety, and the other is that Yoshikawa Gomon died in the New Asia Hotel.

Of course, the possibility of directly entering the public concession and summoning Japanese secret agents from land and sea departments is not ruled out. The consulate is also safe.

"The route is like this..."

Kawamoto Kojiro took out a hand-drawn map: "We have prepared two road maps for entering the concession and reaching the consulate..."

Miao Chengfang listened very carefully.

You clearly told me when the special envoy will arrive, but now, you even told me such a detailed road map?
This is not reasonable.

Why do you trust me so much?

How do you know such details?

What about Hitosuke Matsumoto?
Hitotsu Matsumoto told you to do this?
Still not right!

There is a problem with both routes.

There is a place where the surrounding conditions are relatively complicated, suitable for ambushes, but not suitable for defense.

With a block on both sides, the convoy will be the turtle in the urn.

In the first route, when approaching Binglang Road, it is obvious that you can turn to Macau Road, why do you have to enter Shunbao Lane?
Just to get into the consulate faster?Can't afford to delay even a few minutes?

Shunbao Lane is a good ambush spot!
The same problem exists in the second route.

Design such a route... and tell yourself the exact time when the special envoy will arrive...

There is only one possibility!
The Japanese did it on purpose!

They are testing themselves!
Miao Chengfang raised his head from the map: "Mr. Kawamoto, I think both routes are dangerous, for example, this place can easily become an ambush point..."

……

"The suspicions of Miao Chengfang and Tian Qi can be removed."

Nitsugu Matsumoto looked very satisfied: "Of course, it is inappropriate for the Chinese to participate in such an important task as the General. If there is another leak of information this time, then the problem lies among us..."

Is Miao Chengfang really not suspected?
At least for now it is true.

Habara Koichi was a little absent-minded.

Just like Kawamoto Kojiro didn't trust Tian Qi, he also had doubts about Miao Chengfang.

But now it seems that such worries are unnecessary.

So, how did the past information leak out?
Hypothesis.

Kawamoto Kojiro had to make an assumption.

Suppose Tian Qi and Miao Chengfang are actually Chinese spies, but they are hidden very deeply and have not been exposed.

The situation is like this:

I think Tian Qi is trustworthy, Kawamoto Kojiro thinks Miao Chengfang is trustworthy, so in the trial, it is natural to stand on his own stand to consider the problem.

From the very beginning, he had ruled out Tian Qi's suspicion in his heart, and Kawamoto Kojiro also instinctively ruled out Miao Chengfang's suspicion.

Therefore, the investigation of the two people is done with a casual attitude, and even a little bit of waiting to see the other party's good show, hoping that the other party's point of view is wrong to do this.

This mentality is wrong, even fatal.

I trust Tian Qi, because he is the savior of the Sakurai Secret Service, and everything about him was introduced by Sakurai Gongpu.

Kawamoto Kojiro trusted Miao Chengfang because he was a senior undercover agent of General Fujiwara Kikawa.

But do you really understand these two people?
Why did Miao Chengfang and Tian Qi rebel at the same time?
How did Miao Chengfang get together with Tian Qi and persuade him?

Not long after I was transferred to Shanghai, I knew nothing about it.

The repeated assassination of Tian Qi almost killed him?
If he is a high-level hidden spy, only a few high-level military commanders will know his identity, and those secret agents in the middle and lower levels will have no way of knowing.

Their first thought of Tian Qi was to kill him.

Then everything will fall into place.

Koichi Habara especially hoped that his assumptions were wrong.

At least, in the test of Tian Qi, he performed very well.

He did not divulge any information.

If his judgment is wrong and Tian Qi clears up some suspicions, then this person is undoubtedly his best ally.

The Shanghai secret service is too complicated, with many factions and constant struggles.

If Habara Koichi, an outsider, wants to gain a firm foothold here and gain real power, a strong alliance is essential.

Tian Qi can satisfy all these.

I hope you will live up to my expectations, Mr. Tian!
……

"Brother Meng."

"Then you are in such a hurry to find me, what's the important thing?"

"I..." Hua'er had tears in her eyes, "I... am I pregnant?"

"Flowers... yes..."

"Tian Qi's, Tian Qi's."

Hua'er murmured, "It belongs to that bastard. I don't want it, Brother Meng, I don't want this child, I don't want it!"

"Listen to me, Hua'er."

Meng Shaoyuan knew it was time to use his professional knowledge: "Tian Qi is a beast, but the child is not at fault. He was conceived on your body and is already a part of you. Hua'er, listen to me, give birth to the child, take He brought him up, at least, you still have a thought, tell him what a shameful person his father is!"

His father is not to be ashamed of.

His father is a great hero.

Meng Shaoyuan said this over and over again in his heart.

"Brother Meng, I listen to you."

Hua'er said in a low voice.

Now, Meng Shaoyuan has become her only support.

"The injury is healed, I will take you to Chongqing."

"Understood, Brother Meng."

……

"Director Meng, your clothes and car are ready."

Meng Shaoyuan nodded, he put away the gun:
"Operation nanny, officially started!"

……

Big Shanghai is full of strange things.

The war did not seem to have caused any damage to the International Settlement.

A large advertisement hangs there, saying that the famous "Paramount" ballroom has newly arrived several black-skinned dancers.

These dancers are generous and enthusiastic, and they can also dance dances that make men want to die.

"Sir, are the rickshaws going to be cut?"

Major Atsushi Komatsu shook his head with a smile.

I came by myself because I wanted to take advantage of this short opportunity to have a good taste of the style of Shanghai.

"boss."

A fat middle-aged woman grabbed Atsushi Komatsu, which shocked him and thought he had been exposed.

"Boss, I have a girl from Suzhou, she is very beautiful, but, boss, come and see?"

Atsushi Komatsu shook his head.

A young man in a suit came to him: "Sir, how do I get to Jing'an Temple?"

This is the connection code!

Atsushi Komatsu immediately replied, "I'm also from another place, so I don't know him."

"Where is sir from?"

"Changshu."

The young man looked around: "Major Atsushi Komatsu?"

"Yes, it's me."

"I'm Lieutenant Hideki Inana!"
