He was wearing a crisp suit, sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, his hair was neatly combed and plenty of hair wax.
However, there are some pockmarks and white spots on the face, which seem to be insect spots. This affects the whole temperament and appearance of the person. In addition, he is wearing sunglasses. Unless he meets someone familiar, he will not be able to get along with him.
This person is connected with the handsome peach.
With a camera hanging around his neck, he would stroll along Cordier Road and stop to take photos when he saw people and things that interested him.
About thirty or forty meters in front of him and behind him, there were men dressed as passing citizens. They seemed calm, but in fact they were looking around vigilantly.
A child ran away and almost ran into Taozi's arms.
Taozi, who had sharp eyes and quick hands, grabbed the child and cursed, "Bag duck down!"
The child's father was about to step forward to apologize. When he heard this man speaking Japanese, his whole face changed. He snatched the child from Qiao Chuntao's hand, protected the child behind him, and then kept bowing.
.
"Get out!" Taozi said coldly.
The man hugged the child and ran away.
Taozi continued walking and taking pictures.
The surrounding citizens who saw the previous scene were in a hurry and avoided it.
Including Taozi's men, they also dispersed in a hurry:
When Team Leader Qiao says the Japanese curse "Bage duck falls", it means he has found it.
What they have to do now is to spread out so as not to attract the attention of the Shanghai Station, and at the same time secretly warn the Japanese who may be monitoring them.
Taozi set up a camera and took pictures against a wall. There were branches of a magnolia tree peeking out from inside the wall.
He took two steps with his hind legs, as if he wanted to slap the branches in.
See clearly.
There are shoe prints on the wall.
Judging from the shoe prints, it was the cloth shoes A Yuan was wearing. Of course, this kind of shoe prints is not directional because this kind of cloth shoes is too common.
This is the side wall of this house. It is relatively hidden in the corner. After walking twenty or thirty steps further, we walked around to the place facing the road and saw the main entrance of this house.
The house number is No. 19, Rue Cordier.
There is a plaque on the door - Huzhou Zaihu Business Hotel Rescue Center.
This is it.
Taozi made a judgment in her mind. The people at Shanghai Station still had some brains. Using the business hotel and rescue center as a cover could, to a certain extent, cover up the suspicion that there were a lot of people coming and going here.
At this moment, the main door is half open.
At this moment, Qiao Chuntao caught a glimpse of a person coming out of it, and he immediately walked forward quickly.
This person is none other than A Yuan.
Qiao Chuntao went straight into a grocery store on the roadside without saying anything, but just pointed at the Gold Brand cigarettes on the counter.
After buying the cigarette, Taozi opened the cigarette box, took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth. He also took out a matchbox with Japanese military chess printed on it (not a typo), took out a match, struck it, and lit the cigarette.
.
Qiao Chuntao noticed from the corner of his eye that when the owner of the grocery store saw the matchbox with the Japanese military chess pattern he took out, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he soon returned to normal.
Sure enough, this grocery store is from Shanghai Station - Qiao Chuntao nodded inwardly.
The eyes of ordinary people are not so sharp. Most people will not notice the pictures on the matchboxes held by customers, but a small number of people will notice that some of them do not recognize Japanese military chess.
Won't care.
A small number of people will recognize the Japanese military chess pattern. They will be scared and subconsciously look away, or find something to do, such as waving a feather duster to dust, or sorting the shelves. In short, they pretend to be busy.
Saw nothing.
Others will lower their heads to avoid the other person's gaze, like an ostrich.
Only an agent would quickly catch the Japanese military flag on the matchbox, then quickly calm down his eyes and emotions, pretending that everything was normal.
Therefore, the grocery store owner's reaction confirmed Taozi's judgment.
The grocery store or fruit stand near the secret stronghold must be the property of the Secret Service. On the one hand, it is a small business that can earn funds. The most important thing is that it can secretly monitor and protect the secret stronghold.
This is one of the 'knowledge' he learned while training in Hangzhou.
At the same time, team leader Cheng Qianfan also gave lectures to many key members, including himself, and specifically mentioned this point.
After smoking a cigarette with satisfaction for a while, Qiao Chuntao left the grocery stall.
…
Araki Harima put down the telescope and frowned slightly.
"Taijun, what's wrong?" Lu Fei asked.
"Do you know that person?" Araki Harima handed the binoculars to Lu Fei, pointed at it, and said, "The person with the camera hanging around his neck."
Lu Fei took the telescope, looked at it carefully, shook his head, "I don't know him, he's not from Shanghai Station."
As he said that, he picked up the telescope and looked at it again, "Taijun, I noticed this person. He should be a photographer. He was taking pictures along the way."
Hearing Lu Fei say that the man was not from Shanghai Station, Araki Harima nodded.
"What about that one?" He took the telescope from the hand of another Japanese, took a look, and pointed.
"That's -" Lu Fei set up a telescope and took a look, "Tell Taijun, that's an action member of Group 3 of the Shanghai Station Action Brigade. I don't remember the name. I only know that it's Ruan."
"Lu Xinge's men?" Araki Harima showed an interested expression.
"Exactly." Lu Fei nodded, "This guy is a greedy and stingy guy."
"How many people are there in this grocery store?" Araki Harima asked again.
"The grocery store owner and his wife are from Shanghai Station, and the boy is a peripheral employee."
…
A Yuan didn't know that he was being judged by the Japanese and the former traitor. He went to the corner to take a dump. When he wanted to smoke, he realized that there was no cigarette, so he walked into the grocery store.
"Shopkeeper, here's a box of three forts."
"okay."
A Yuan handed the nickel to the grocery store owner, took the cigarette, skillfully opened it, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, then took the match box from the boss, lit a match and lit the cigarette.
took a sip.
"There is a situation." The grocery store owner said in a low voice.
"What's going on?" A Yuan glanced outside and whispered.
"There are Japanese people," the grocery store owner said.
"What?" A Yuan was smoking and was startled and choked.
He once again took a wary look at the situation outside the store and asked eagerly, "What Japanese? Japanese spies?"
"I don't know." The grocery store owner shook his head. "A man came to my store just now to buy cigarettes. I noticed that the matchbox he took out had Japanese military chess printed on it."
"Are you sure?" A Yuan asked with a serious expression.
"Sure!" The grocery store owner nodded.
"I'm going to suffer!" A Yuan's expression changed. He turned around and was about to run, but before going out, he slowed down and his face regained some composure. At the same time, he waved to the grocery store owner as usual.
Araki Harima put down the telescope and frowned slightly. The action of the Shanghai station operations agent named Ruan just now was a bit strange.
He raised the telescope again and stared at this person for about half a minute. He saw that there was nothing unusual about this person, and the suspicion was initially eliminated.
…
The intersection of Notre Dame Road and Cordier Road.
This is the third floor of a Western-style building.
Cheng Qianfan put down the telescope and showed a thoughtful expression.
He also noticed that A Yuan's movements just now were strange for a moment. Unlike Araki Harima who quickly eliminated the doubts, Cheng Qianfan was thinking seriously.
For a moment, a smile appeared on Cheng Qianfan's lips.
"I've made progress."
He agreed that Taozi could act according to the situation. If he could determine the location of the secret stronghold of Shanghai Station, he could warn the other party in some way while ensuring his own safety. However, Cheng Qianfan did not know what method Taozi would take.
However, he emphasized one thing, that is, his identity must not be exposed, because now they cannot judge what is going on at the Shanghai Station. If the other party has been controlled by the Japanese, wouldn't the warning at this time be like taking the initiative to put a sheep in the tiger's mouth?
Based on the observations just now, Cheng Qianfan guessed that Taozi was very smart and judged that this grocery store was a secret station of Shanghai Station. Taozi should have completed the warning in some temporarily unknown method in the grocery store.
A Yuan entered the grocery store and received a warning signal conveyed by Pao Ze inside the grocery store.
A Yuan was surprised.
Very nervous at the same time.
He wanted to rush out of the grocery store and rush to report the situation to the top. However, he was very vigilant at the critical moment and barely controlled his excitement and nervousness.
Cheng Qianfan's thinking has basically made a rough guess about what might have happened just now.
"Team leader, are you worried that Cordier Road may have been closely monitored by the Japanese?" Hao Zai wiped his rifle aside and asked.
"It's not possible, it's certain." Cheng Qianfan said, "If Lu Fei has rebelled and defected to the Japanese, and Cordier Road is indeed the secret stronghold of Shanghai Station, then Cordier Road must have been monitored at this moment.
."
He held up the binoculars with both hands and said, "And I am very confident that Araki Harima will lead the team in the Special Higher Education Course."
"Isn't Araki injured?" Hao Zai asked in surprise.
"The injury is not serious. With Araki's character and his desire for military glory, he will have the opportunity to kill all the middle and high-level officials of the Shanghai Station. Whenever he can get down to the ground, he will lead the team himself," Cheng Qianfan said.
Kentaro Miyazaki knows Araki Harima very well.
Similarly, Araki Harima is also very familiar with "Kentaro Miyazaki", even though Cheng Qianfan is now disguised as "Xiao Mian", the leader of the Shanghai special case team, his appearance, body shape, including walking posture have been deliberately changed.
However, Cheng Qianfan still decided to try his best to avoid being exposed to the sight of the special high school class, not afraid of ten thousand, just afraid of the worst.
"Team leader, have you found 'Nagging'?" Hao Zai asked, sitting on the ground and loading the rifle magazine.
"No." Cheng Qianfan shook his head.
He looked around with a telescope, with the purpose of looking for 'Nagging'.
There was only one reason why he came here personally, and that was to get rid of 'Nagging'.
This is why he notified Haozi to come quickly with a rifle.
If a target is found, he and Hao Zai will each have a long gun and shoot at the same time. 'Nagging' will definitely die.
This is to ensure that the opponent can be absolutely killed. 'Nagging' this person is too dangerous!
However, Cheng Qianfan searched for a long time and did not see 'Nagging'.
'Maybe he didn't come?'
'Perhaps he is here, but he is hiding in a certain building and is extremely difficult to find for a while?'
Cheng Qianfan frowned and thought.
…
"Mr. Lu, are you envious to see your colleagues so happy?" Araki Harima asked, holding the telescope in both hands.
From their position, they could see the secret stronghold of Shanghai Station at No. 19, Rue Cordier, and the Hongyun Tower, which was less than 200 meters away from No. 19, Rue Cordier.
At this moment, you can see the reserved second floor. Although the celebration banquet has not started yet, people at the three tables are already chatting and laughing:
There are melon seeds, peanuts, candied fruits, prunes, and brewed tea on the table.
We also invited two women who can sing Kun Opera and they are playing the piano and singing.
A group of people were eating snacks, drinking tea, listening to music, wondering what they were talking about, and laughing.
"Taijun." Lu Yuan was startled and said quickly, "My subordinates have already defected to the Japanese Empire, unlike these Japanese haters."
Araki Harima laughed. He liked to see Lu Fei turn pale with fright at his words.
"Which one is Zheng Lijun?" Araki Harima asked.
"Zheng Lijun hasn't arrived yet." Lu Fei shook his head, "Not only Zheng Lijun, but also Cheng Xuyuan, secretary of the Shanghai Station, and Lu Xingge, leader of the third group of the action brigade, haven't arrived either."
After finishing speaking, he seemed to be afraid that Araki Harima would be angry, so he quickly added, "Except for these three people, all the middle and high-level people in Shanghai Station are in Hongyun Building."
"Very good." Araki Harima nodded with satisfaction, "Let's wait a little longer until Zheng Lijun and the others arrive, and we'll start immediately."
"Taijun, my subordinates suggest that we wait until they are full and drunk before taking action." Lu Fei said, "I know these people very well. Many of them can't walk after seeing drinks and women."
"Very good, I'll do as you say." Araki Harima followed suit and nodded.
…
No. 19 Cordier Road, Huzhou Zaihu Business Hotel Rescue Center.
Lu Xingge had a fierce quarrel with his immediate boss and acting chief of Shanghai Station Zheng Lijun.
Lu Xingge found Zheng Lijun privately, and he suggested that tonight's celebration banquet be cancelled. The reason was the phone call from Lu Fei's home from the secret base.
"Stationmaster, Team Leader Lu has seriously violated the confidentiality discipline!" Lu Xingge said urgently, "There was a call from his home. This matter is very serious. For safety reasons, we have to-"
"Do you doubt Lu Fei?" Zheng Lijun interrupted Lu Xingge and asked coldly.
"My subordinates have no doubts about Team Leader Lu. They just think that this matter is a serious violation of confidentiality discipline. In principle, in this case, we should be on alert immediately to prepare for unexpected events."
"Do you doubt Lu Fei?" Zheng Lijun stared at Lu Xingge and said coldly.
"I don't have any!" Lu Xinge shook his head with a firm expression.
"You doubted Lu Fei not because of the call from Lu Fei's home, but because you took advantage of every opportunity and took advantage of the situation to avenge you." Zheng Lijun's expression was gloomy, "Team Leader Lu once mentioned to me that you were very dissatisfied with him.
He even spread rumors and slandered him many times."
