"Tian Sang, I have made a request to my superiors to let you stay in Nanjing."

Sakurai Kimura said happily.

He has determined to stay in Nanjing and help manage the city. According to the previous plan, Tian Qi will return to Shanghai after helping the Sakurai Special Agent Team complete its mission.

However, Tian Qi made a suggestion to stay here.

This is what Sakurai Kimura wishes for.

He regards Tian Qi as his best foreign friend in China, and at the same time, he is also the savior of him and the entire Sakurai Agent Team.

Moreover, he also needs Tian Qi's assistance.

The tasks of these Japanese special forces during the war were to assist the army in wartime operations and stay in the city. They were independent of the military police and spy organizations and were more similar to a secret police.

They have an independent management system, independent funding, and do not need to report to local intelligence agencies. They still have considerable power.

Therefore, although someone like Sakurai Kimura is only a major, the resources and status he can use far exceed his current official title.

Because of this, once Tian Qi gets approval from his superiors, he can be sure to stay in Nanjing, and he will be temporarily safe, and he will no longer have to face the suspicion of Kawamoto Kojiro in Shanghai.

It's just that Tian Qi is not very willing to do this. He is more willing to face the challenge from the enemy.

"Tian Sang, our current work at this stage..."

Just as Sakurai Kimura said this, someone from outside had already come in to report: "Your Excellency, Major, Yoshiko Kawashima wants to see you?"

"Kawashima Yoshiko?" Sakurai Kimura was startled: "Why did she come to me?"

"What's the problem, Sakurai-kun?" Tian Qi couldn't help but ask.

"Tian-san, you may have heard of this woman's name, but you don't know how troublesome she is." Sakurai Kimura smiled bitterly: "She has made great contributions to the empire and was once highly appreciated by the military. However,

For some unknown reason, she quickly fell out of favor, and for a time she made a living by cheating and cheating in Peiping. This time she came to Nanjing, and I heard it was also to lobby for the restoration of her Qing Empire. It was really a daydream."

Tian Qi didn’t know much about Yoshiko Kawashima: “If that’s the case, then just don’t meet her.”

"No, no." Sakurai Kimura shook his head: "Although Kawashima Yoshiko has lost power, she still has certain connections that she can use. She knows many high-level officials and is very scheming. God knows when she will get the top position again.

Appreciation. There is no need to offend her like this. Tian Sang, please come with me to meet her."

…

Kuikawa Shoji put down the phone, and when he came to Akagi Aisa, his steps were a little hurried: "Madam, we found traces of Meng Shaoyuan."

"What?" Akagi Aisa's expression changed: "Where is it?"

"No. 76 Dashugen, Central Road! Meng Shaoyuan will arrive at two o'clock in the afternoon!"

"Is the intelligence source accurate?"

"I don't know. I just received a phone call. That's what the phone call said. I asked him who he was, but the other party quickly hung up the phone."

Kenji Takagi frowned: "Madam, is it possible that this is a trap?"

"No, it won't be." Aya Akagi thought for a while: "It can't be a trap. Who would inform us of such news? Moreover, even if the other party really sets an ambush there, when the gunshots are fired, the nearby soldiers

We'll arrive soon. That's definitely not a suitable ambush location. And, now that I know the whereabouts of Meng Shaoyuan, I will never give up any hope!"

"Understood, ma'am." Takagi Kenji bent down and said, "I'll get ready right away. By the way, Katsumi Fuuji hasn't come back yet?"

"Yes, he hasn't come back yet. I'm worried that he has been poisoned by the Chinese!"

…

"Your Majesty, Major, Nagato Goto has reported that Aisa Akagi has obtained information about Meng Shaoyuan, and he will go to No. 76 Dashugen, Central Road at two o'clock in the afternoon."

"Oh, really?" Koichi Hahara said lightly, "Is the information accurate?"

"It should be accurate. The place where Aisa Akagi lives now is the property of the former embassy. She temporarily rented it through her husband's relationship during his lifetime. Goto Nagato, who is responsible for the management of the house there, is one of our people. He is the one who personally heard it.

Hear it.”

"No. 76 Dashugen, Central Road?" Koichi Hahara frowned: "Why did Meng Shaoyuan go there? No, he should find a way to leave Nanjing now. No, it's definitely wrong."

People have a contradictory mentality. They know clearly that it may be a trap, but curiosity will always prompt him to see what happens and solve the psychological mystery.

And if this trap is not too dangerous, and you may be able to get a treasure, then this curiosity cannot be suppressed at all.

For Koichi Hahara, Meng Shaoyuan is this treasure!

This is Nanjing, and Central Road is full of Japanese troops and gendarmerie. Meng Shaoyuan would never have set up an ambush there.

Any opportunity to catch Meng Shaoyuan would never be missed by Koichi Hahara.

"Intensify the inspection of the train station, and arrange inspections at the city gate." Hahara Koichi made his own decision: "Assemble a team of people and come with me to take a look."

…

"No. 76, Dashugen, Central Road, where important figures in the National Government's spy system are hidden!"

Yoshiko Kawashima lit a cigarette and took a puff gracefully: "At two o'clock in the afternoon, they will have a major operation. Major Sakurai, do you think this information is valuable?"

Sakurai Kimura did not rush to answer: "Miss Kawashima, I am very curious. If this information is true, why did you tell me?"

"It's very simple. I need to make a meritorious service." Yoshiko Kawashima said calmly: "But in Nanjing, I don't have the manpower, so I have to find a reliable person to help. I know your superior, Colonel Fujino, and I trust him as well.

you."

"Thank you for your trust, Miss Kawashima." Sakurai Kimura smiled: "No. 76 Dashugen, Central Road? An important figure in the National Government? I can take the liberty of asking where you got this information from?

"

"I'm sorry, this involves many people, and I can't disclose it for the time being." Yoshiko Kawashima declined politely.

Sakurai Kimura nodded in understanding, and then his eyes fell on Tian Qi: "Tian Sang, what do you think?"

"I think it's okay to go take a look." Tian Qi said nonchalantly: "Even if we miss, it's just a walk, but since Miss Kawashima can tell us this information, I think there must be something

Is it a price?"

Kawashima Yoshiko was very curious about who this man was, and Sakurai Kimura actually asked for his opinion: "I will stay in Nanjing for a while. During this time, I will definitely need some help, and I think today's kindness will...

I will definitely win the friendship of His Majesty the Major."

"If you really get something." Sakurai Kimura no longer hesitated: "I will owe you a favor."

…

Meng Shaoyuan looked at the time: "It's almost time."

"Director Meng, do you really want to leave now?" Lin Xuan looked a little uneasy: "There are Japanese people everywhere, isn't it too dangerous?"

"Dangerous?" Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "It is more dangerous to stay in Nanjing. I am already prepared."

The news that he was leaving Nanjing was only told to Lin Xuan. Before Quan Lu and Ni Wei were killed in battle, and before the new commander arrived, Meng Shaoyuan was the supreme commander here.

"Director Meng, I'll see you off." Lin Xuan was a little reluctant.

The former enemy commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief had been killed one after another. Now the military commander's hidden agents in Nanjing were actually leaderless. Meng Shaoyuan's arrival greatly boosted morale.

And now that he is leaving again, who will be in charge of Nanjing in the future?

Lin Xuan misses the days under Meng Shaoyuan's command very much. At that time, all of them knew exactly what they should do and when.

It was so detailed that several routes were clearly planned during the retreat, and who would be responsible for taking over.

But now Nanjing is really in disarray.

Each of the several squadrons fought on their own, without any coordination with each other. They relied entirely on the individual performance of the squadron leaders.

But this is also caused by the extremely cruel environment in Nanjing.

"In another two or three months, the new commander will arrive."

Meng Shaoyuan knew very well what Lin Xuan was thinking: "There's no need to send me away. It's safer for me to go alone. Remember, live well. If you really can't hold on anymore, come to Shanghai to find me. You will still be my subordinate after all."

.”

Lin Xuan nodded silently...

…

Nanjing, No. 76 Dashugen, Zhongyang Road.

The action team led by Hanbara Koichi unexpectedly encountered Sakurai Kimura's special agent team here.

Without even a second's hesitation, Hahara Koichi asked: "You also got the news and came here to capture Meng Shaoyuan?"

"Meng Shaoyuan?" Sakurai Kimura was startled: "Miss Kawashima told me that there are important figures in the National Government's secret service system here."

Tian Qi was shocked.

Meng Shaoyuan?

Could it be that Meng Shaoyuan is here?

"Miss Kawashima, is that so?"

"No, the information I got was only about important figures, but it didn't say it was Meng Shaoyuan." Kawashima Yoshiko replied with a gloomy face.

…

Someone has already arrived first.
