‘I’m obsessed with money! I want money to the death!’
Qi Wu shook his head and chuckled.
He thought Cheng Qianfan had changed his gender, but was surprised that Cheng Qianfan didn't ask for money this time.
But it was too early to be happy.
When he left, Director Xiao formally asked Director Qi to convey a request for help to Boss Dai:
Insufficient funds, please send money.
Qi Wu could already imagine the expression on Dai Chunfeng's face when he returned to Chongqing and relayed Xiao Mian's funding request to Dai Chunfeng.
Of course, no matter from any aspect, it is reasonable for Cheng Qianfan to ask for money this time.
To upgrade the Special Request Group to the Special Situation Office and expand the organization, it is bound to recruit troops. On the one hand, it is short of manpower. The most important thing is that it requires a lot of funds, supplies, weapons and ammunition.
However, the problem is that the amount of funds proposed by this guy is not a small amount, it can even be described as a lion's mouth.
"Forget it, there is no reason to just let the horses run without letting them eat grass." Qi Wu said in his heart.
At this moment, there was a piece of paper lying quietly in his pocket. The US$500 money order from the Citibank Mile West Branch can be cashed against the Citibank branch in Hong Kong Island and the Kuomintang-controlled area.
This is a gift from junior Cheng to the senior. Coming all the way here, as the host, the junior should naturally entertain the senior well.
The current exchange rate between French currency and U.S. dollars is one hundred French dollars to six U.S. dollars. Therefore, according to the official exchange rate, this cash draft of five hundred U.S. dollars can be exchanged for about eight thousand four hundred French dollars.
Even for a senior officer in the Military Command Bureau like Qi Wu, this is a considerable fortune.
What's more, this is only the official exchange rate. In fact, foreign currencies such as the pound and the US dollar are very popular, and no one will actually use the official exchange rate to calculate it.
Lin Asheng drove his rented car around the concession several times and found no followers.
"Director, there is no problem." Lin Asheng said.
"Hmm." Qi Wu nodded.
Although the Japanese military police major let him and Lin Asheng go, Qi Wu's intuition told him that the way the Japanese military police major looked at them was somewhat intriguing.
For safety reasons, you still need to be more vigilant.
Now that he heard Lin Asheng say that no one was following him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Regardless of whether the Japanese still sent people to keep an eye on them, at least this meant that they quietly left the Rich Hotel and thus successfully escaped possible tracking.
"Director, where are you going now?" Lin Asheng asked.
He raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "Go to Daxi Road."
Through the operation in Hong Kong, we have successfully established a connection with Mr. Schneider from the German Radio Station. Since we are using this person as a cover to hide our identity, we naturally have to pay a visit, which is safer.
…
"Brother Fan, there is no problem. They left and no tracers were found." Hao Zai came in to report to Cheng Qianfan and saw Brother Fan praying to the cross of the church.
"Arrange the brothers to keep an eye on the Licha Hotel." Cheng Qianfan closed his eyes and said calmly, "Make sure to ensure the safety of Director Qi."
Nothing should happen to Qi Wu.
This is not only for Qi Wu's safety, but also for the safety of the Special Situation Unit.
Ever since Sheng Shuyu came to Shanghai last time and directly eliminated one of his action teams, Cheng Qianfan has been on high alert for people coming from Chongqing.
If Qi Wu encounters danger this time, he may be in big trouble before his special situation has been officially upgraded and opened.
No, based on the information Qi Wu possesses in his mind, once something happens to Qi Wu, the Shanghai Special Situation Office, the Military Command Shanghai District, and many military command stations will be completely destroyed.
"Are you just looking at the Li Cha Hotel?" Hao Zai thought for a while and asked.
Cheng Qianfan opened his eyes. He glanced at Hao Zai and said nothing. Then he closed his eyes and continued to pray, mumbling words.
Hao Zai looked at Brother Fan. Brother Fan's expression was so pious, as if he really believed this.
Haozi didn't say anything. He left quietly. When he reached the door of the church, he stopped and looked back. His eyes looked forward, at the cross, at the Lord who was nailed on the cross, and at Brother Fan's hands crossed.
I closed my eyes and prayed. Sunlight filtered in through the five-colored glass window and fell on Brother Fan's body, giving me an inexplicable and weird feeling of splendor.
He turned his head, quietly went out, and closed the church door.
In the church, the light dimmed instantly, and only the sunlight shining through the five-colored glass was shining unbridled. A gust of wind blew by, and the branches outside the window swayed, and the light and shadow also moved. Only the person praying remained motionless.
…
Daxi Road, Wilhelm School, home to Radio Far East, the largest German radio station in the Far East.
Dong Zhengguo took a look at the materials on hand about this building.
Wilhelm School, the architect of the school is the famous German architectural designer Hans Emil Rieb.
The owner of the Wilhelm School is a German expatriate society.
It was first built in 1910 and the second year of Xuantong reign of the former Qing Dynasty. It was completed in 1911 and the third year of Xuantong reign of the former Qing Dynasty. The main facade faces the garden.
The simply decorated north facade of the classroom building faces the street, with a red tile roof and domed arches supporting a straight ceiling.
Looking at this beautiful and spectacular European-style building through the telescope, Dong Zhengguo also sighed.
In the second year of Xuantong, the Germans built such a tall building on Chinese soil. What was China like at that time?
At this time, a black Citroen car with a car rental number printed on its body came to the door of William Academy.
Dong Zhengguo narrowed his eyes.
After the vehicle stopped, the driver got out of the cab, went around and opened the rear door. A man in a suit and leather shoes got out of the car, straightened his suit, said something to the driver, and then strode up the steps of William Academy.
.
"Look, are they these two people?" Dong Zhengguo handed the binoculars to the man dressed as a doorman next to him.
The man took the telescope, but he was a little at a loss.
Dong Zhengguo made a gesture of holding a telescope with both hands and motioned for the doorman to follow suit.
The doorman was stunned for a moment, then realized what was going on. He held the binoculars with both hands and looked outside.
"Hold it backwards." Dong Zhengguo said.
The doorman was a little stunned.
Dong Zhengguo directly took the telescope over, helped the doorman correct it before and after, and then held it directly in front of his eyes, "Look, are they these two people?"
"Yes, yes." The doorman kept his eyes on the telescope, saw the people clearly, and said repeatedly, "These two are the guests in room 205."
Dong Zhengguo took back the telescope. He set up the telescope with both hands and kept staring. Lin Xiangxi walked up to the German gatekeeper and seemed to say something. Then Lin Xiangxi lowered his head and took a pen to write something, and then was put in.
Already.
The driver named Lin Asheng, under the command of the Germans, drove the car away from the door and parked it on the side of the road a little further away.
‘It seems that he really came to William School to visit the German Radio.’ Dong Zhengguo thought in his mind.
A piece of information was forwarded from the Military Police Headquarters to the Special Agent Headquarters. Major Umetsumi Sagami of the Military Police Headquarters was interested in the two men staying at the Reicha Hotel and asked the Special Agent Headquarters to investigate.
Dingmutun, who had just returned to Shanghai from Nanjing, handed over the matter to Dong Zhengguo for investigation.
"Sir, can I go?" The doorman looked at Dong Zhengguo with some fear and asked in a low voice.
"You know what to say and what not to say." Dong Zhengguo glanced at the doorman.
"Ah?" The doorman nodded hurriedly, "I, I was at the Licha Hotel today and I didn't come out."
"Quite smart." Dong Zhengguo nodded. He took out a silver dollar from his pocket with a smile and threw it to the doorman, "Go back."
"Thank you, thank you sir." The doorman was very happy, as if he didn't expect the reward, and he hurriedly thanked him.
Seeing his men sending the doorman away, Dong Zhengguo chuckled.
This doorman was brought by them to recognize him, and his attitude was inevitably rude. A single silver dollar could turn the doorman's resentment into gratitude. It was a good deal.
In addition, the Richa Hotel is already the focus of No. 76. If the doorman can be bribed to help the secret service headquarters to inform the secret agent headquarters, it will be equivalent to placing an extra pair of eyes in the Richa Hotel, which will naturally be better.
"Register this doorman's name." Dong Zhengguo said casually, "You can consider becoming one of our people in the future."
"Team leader, we have registered." The subordinate said, "This guy's name is Bai Xiaoxia, and his nickname is Xiami."
…
"Mr. Lin, please excuse me." Schneider put down the coffee spoon in his hand, picked up a square towel and wiped the corners of his mouth, smiling at Qi Wu.
Qi Wu smiled and nodded.
About two minutes after Schneider left, the door was pushed open.
Qi Wu put down the coffee spoon in his hand and looked up.
A look of surprise immediately appeared on his face, and he quickly stood up to greet him, "Brother Menghua."
"Brother Shanyu." Tong Gongshen also smiled and stepped forward to shake hands with Qi Wu.
"It's been a long time since we lasted."
"Brother, your style is still the same."
The two held their hands tightly together, then looked at each other and smiled.
"Boss Dai asked me to say hello to Brother Menghua," Qi Wu said.
"Boss Dai is very interested." He Gongshen said, frowning slightly, "The situation in Shanghai has been quite severe recently. How could you choose to come to Shanghai at this time?"
"I know." Qi Wu nodded, "Mr. Wang is planning to open a mansion and build a dental clinic. Nanjing is still occupied by the Japanese, so he has no choice but to make preparations here in Shanghai. He is also afraid that we will continue to attack him, so he is worried all day long.
You can only use high pressure."
"How far has that person gone?" Hao Gongshen shook his head and looked at Qi Wu, "If you had succeeded that time in Hanoi, you wouldn't be in trouble now."
He looked at Qi Wu, "Brother Shan is good at summoning me to see me this time. I don't know..."
"But I have something to ask Brother Menghua for help." Qi Wu said seriously.
"I will definitely help if I can." You Gongshen nodded.
Qi Wu glanced at Tong Gongshen and felt a little dissatisfied. There was something in this old fox's words.
However, his expression was as warm as ever, "This is natural, and it will definitely not embarrass Brother Menghua."
…
"How is the situation?" Hong Qipeng looked at his distant cousin and asked.
"That teacher Xie never replied." Hong Wenyu shook his head.
It has been a day since he submitted the mathematics paper he asked Xie Guanglin for advice, but there has been no response from Xie Guanglin.
"No reply?" Hong Qipeng frowned slightly, "Have you asked Xiaoyi?"
"No." Hong Wenyu shook his head, "I asked Xiaoyi, and Xiaoyi said that Teacher Xie had a cold and asked for leave after class yesterday afternoon."
"Cold?" Hong Qipeng pressed his temples and fell into thinking.
Arranging for a comrade to approach Xie Guanglin under the guise of asking for advice on a mathematics paper and asking him to confirm whether he was Ren Anning was Hong Qipeng's strategy.
This method was also recognized by Comrade Lei Zhiming.
Compared with Hong Qipeng's previous consideration of contacting Xie Guanglin himself, this method is relatively safer.
He and Comrade Lei Zhiming have analyzed that according to the information they have, regardless of whether Mr. Xie is Mr. Ren Anning or not, he is a gentleman obsessed with mathematics. It is more appropriate and safe to approach him in the name of asking for advice.
.
However, he did not expect that Hong Wenyu met Xie Guanglin with the help of Xun Hanyi's child, and also submitted the mathematics paper he asked for advice. Xie Guanglin also accepted the paper, but there was no response.
Colds?
Hong Qipeng shook his head, he didn't think it would be such a coincidence.
According to the organization's investigation, Teacher Xie was in good health and even went to a hot spring that day.
Um?
Hong Qipeng was confused. Could it be that he caught a cold after taking a dip in the hot spring pool?
After suppressing this doubt in his mind, Hong Qipeng thought of another possibility.
"Wen Yu, do you think it's because our mathematics paper is so simple that Mr. Ren has no interest in it?" Hong Qipeng said.
"Probably, it shouldn't be too simple and obvious." Hong Wenyu frowned and said in an uncertain tone.
He put a lot of effort into writing that mathematics paper. Although it cannot be said to be very advanced, he is still a student in the physics department of Fudan Public School, so he should be able to pass the mathematics paper.
"Should I ask Xiaoyi to take me to see Xie Guanglin again?" Hong Wenyu thought for a while and said.
"Okay." Hong Qipeng thought for a moment and nodded, "But don't go, let Xiaoyi go."
He said to Hong Wenyu, "Don't use the excuse of asking about the paper to ask Xiaoyi to bring a few classmates there because they are concerned about Teacher Xie's health."
"Okay." Hong Wenyu nodded.
He somewhat understood what his cousin meant. He was suspicious of Xie Guanglin's so-called 'cold'.
"Mr. Ren, there's no need to lie, right?" He couldn't help but ask.
"It's not a lie." Hong Qipeng shook his head, "Maybe Mr. Ren was out of caution."
He said to Hong Wenyu, "We can all find out about Mr. Ren's stay in Shanghai. I think the Japanese will naturally understand this situation."
Hong Qipeng's expression was solemn, "Talents like Mr. Ren are of great help to the Anti-Japanese War. The Japanese will definitely not just watch Mr. Ren leave Shanghai smoothly and join the anti-Japanese torrent. With the despicableness of the Japanese, they will definitely try their best to stop it.
.”
"For the Japanese, the most direct way is to kill Mr. Ren, and Mr. Ren also knows this, so he is very vigilant." Hong Wenyu nodded, "It seems that Teacher Xie may have misunderstood me."
