Chapter 735 Find another way (seeking a monthly ticket)
Ning Zhiheng realized something was wrong when he came into contact with these diners. Although these young and strong men dressed ordinary, their conversation was quite different from ordinary Chinese citizens. They seemed more confident and calm, especially because they knew this very well about Japanese eating habits and culture, which made Ning Zhiheng quickly realize the problem. These people must have been exposed to Japanese food culture for a long time in their lives.
It is still possible to explain if one person is like this, but how can it be explained by several people? And how can people who have this condition be ordinary Chinese people?
Especially in the end, Yamada Noburi told Ning Zhiheng quite affirmatively that these people would not have any problems, so it can be explained that he was very clear about the identities of these people and would not pose a threat to Ning Zhiheng's safety. He knew these people!
Nobure Yamada is the director of the Japanese special high school class. Among the Japanese intelligence departments, the Japanese special high school class is the best at lurking work. They even started preparing for the training of chess pieces to penetrate all walks of Chinese society decades ago. The Japanese senior spies Puppets and Snow Wolf captured by Ning Zhiheng were both chess pieces of the special high school class.
In this intelligence department, there are a large number of intelligence agents proficient in Chinese, so that when the Japanese army invaded China, they needed to mobilize these Chinese-versed intelligence officers from the special high school course to cooperate with the military's operations.
So Ning Zhiheng felt that these people should be special agents under Yamada Noburi. At least Yamada Noburi knows which department they are from.
Moreover, these people speak fluent Chinese language, and their southern accents are different. Three of them have northern accents, namely the Northeast accent and the Peking accent. The most exaggerated thing is that the other two actually use Sichuan antonyms from Chongqing, which surprised Ning Zhiheng very much.
You should know that it is very difficult to train a Japanese agent to learn Chinese and use it proficiently. It takes a long time to study and train. Moreover, most of the Chinese of Japanese agents are learned from the earliest northern regions that China fell. It can be said that most Japanese agents have a northern accent. It was not until after the Shanghai War that they began to contact and learn Chinese southern languages. There were not many Japanese agents who could use southern languages fluently.
In the southwestern border of Sichuan, its Sichuan sound is even rarer, because Ning Zhiheng stayed in Sichuan for two months before he became relatively familiar with it. However, it is absolutely abnormal that these Japanese agents can use this sound skillfully.
There is only one explanation, the Japanese are consciously training agents to learn the language accents and habits of Sichuan and Chongqing.
As for what to do, of course it is clear at a glance. It must be sent to Chongqing for special tasks, otherwise there would be no need to put in such a lot of effort to learn the extremely remote Chongqing accent.
How could Ning Zhiheng miss this opportunity by connecting everything together? He wanted to find the destination of these Japanese agents and master some of their materials. After these agents lurked into Chongqing in the future, there would be traces to be followed to facilitate the capture of these lurking agents.
The next morning, Noburi Yamada waited early in the living room of the villa, preparing to accompany Ning Zhiheng out for a trip. After Ning Zhiheng washed up, he came to the living room to meet him.
"Sir, are you planning to go to the antique market today? I asked yesterday that there is also an antique market on the east street of Hankou, but the antique market there is relatively formal. I heard that there are many fine products, so how about we go and see it?"
Knowing that Ning Zhiheng likes antique calligraphy and painting, Yamada Noburi did his homework early in order to meet his preferences, inquired about everything, and prepared to go to the antique market with Ning Zhiheng.
Ning Zhiheng smiled and said, "Yamada, you still understand my thoughts, but we will go to Hankou River Beach first. I have always heard that the scenery there is good, and then go to East Street. Anyway, the distance is not far."
Ning Zhiheng is located in the center of Hankou Town and near the Japanese garrison's military camps, both not far from the river beach.
"Okay, then go to the beach to have a look!"
The two went out together, rushed to the river beach to enjoy the scenery, and came to the Hankou River Beach, which is also the most prosperous neighborhood in Wuhan. It is across the river from the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuchang. There are hundreds of sails competing for the flow of the Yangtze River. The river is along the former concession area, with tall buildings and various Western-style characteristic buildings scattered.
Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but nod and praised: "The prosperous scenery here is similar to the Huangpu River Beach in Shanghai, which is really rare."
Nobure Yamada agreed quite well and replied with a smile: "Mr. I was right. When I first came here, I had this idea."
After the two of them visited here for a long time, Ning Zhiheng was in high spirits and walked towards the eastern part of the river mouth. Soon after, he came to a street. Ning Zhiheng looked around and said, "I'm a little tired, everyone have a rest."
At this time, there were several shops and street stalls selling herbal tea on the roadside. Ning Zhiheng found a seat on the spot to sit down. Yamada Noburi also sat down. The group followed Ning Zhiheng for a whole morning, but they were still a little tired. They asked for a bowl of herbal tea to sit down and rest.
Everyone rested for a while, Ning Zhiheng pointed to a large mansion with gray and white walls not far away and asked: "What is this place? It looks like the courtyard is quite small!"
Noburi Yamada glanced at it and replied with a smile: "This place was originally called Dongyuan. It is said to have a history of hundreds of years and is one of the best mansions in Wuhan. Before we arrived, it was the residence of a senior official in the Wuhan government of China. Later, it was requisitioned by us. Currently, as the training department and agent dormitory of our special high school courses, the teacher can go in and visit it."
Hearing that he had been recruited by the Special High School Course, Ning Zhiheng was obviously a little disappointed and waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's go to the East Street to see the antique market. Maybe we will get good results today."
Seeing that Ning Zhiheng was not interested in visiting, Noburi Yamada stopped talking. Ning Zhiheng secretly remembered the surrounding environment. After everyone finished resting, he got up and went to the antique market on East Street.
This was the case in the next few days. Ning Zhiheng and Yamada Noburi switched several nearby antique stalls. There were really many good items in Wuhan City, and Ning Zhiheng gained a lot.
Ma Yaowu also plundered a batch of antiques from all over the place, found the best local experts to appraise, and sent them to Noburi Yamada's home. Noburi Yamada passed them to Ning Zhiheng. The value of these antiques is precious and is called high-quality products, which made Ning Zhiheng very happy. This quickly brought the relationship between the two people closer and became very close.
In a safe house, Uncle Quan was listening to Cui Anping's report.
"In the past few days, we have investigated the whereabouts of Ma Yaowu and Yamada Noburi's head of the Special High School. Their actions were a little abnormal. First of all, Ma Yaowu. A few days ago, he searched for antique calligraphy and paintings everywhere, forcibly purchased a lot of fine products from several antique stores at a low price, and brought Liu Jiangui from Ziyunxuan home. We had a private contact. Jiangui Liu said that there were many antiques in Ma Yaowu's home, and asked him to identify and select antique calligraphy and paintings with the highest value and the best quality, but the specific purpose was unknown."
"What's going on in Yamada Nobure?"
"Yamada Noburi hasn't been to work these days. He takes some Japanese agents every day and travels in casual clothes, traveling everywhere in Wuhan towns."
Uncle Quan frowned and asked in surprise: "Traveling everywhere? This Japanese devil has been in Wuhan City for so long and is already very familiar with Wuhan. Now that the war is about to begin, how can he be in the mood to do these things?"
Cui Anping continued: "It's not that he was visiting alone, but that he was accompanying a young man. The young man also brought some accompanying staff and traveled in plain clothes. It is worth noting that Noburi Yamada was extremely respectful to this young man. Everything was centered on this person, as if he was serving as a guide for this young man and accompanying him to visit Wuhan City."
This situation attracted the attention of Uncle Quan. This young man must have a great background. The Japanese special high school class leader Noburi Yamada was careful to serve him. Who was it?
"Is their whereabouts regular? Where are they visiting and staying?"
"I spent most of my time in Hankou Town, which is a scenic spot in various places. However, the place they visited the most often is the antique market. They have been to several antique markets in Jiangkou Town. The young man took action many times and purchased a few antiques. It seems that he loves antique calligraphy and paintings very much. Combined with our previous surveillance and investigation of Ma Yaowu, it is very likely that Ma Yaowu collected antique calligraphy and paintings to give it to this big man."
Cui Anping's investigation made Uncle Quan feel moved. A big shot who made Yamada Noburi bow his head and even liked Chinese antique calligraphy and paintings very much. Is there some places to use?
After thinking for a long time, Uncle Quan continued to ask: "How is this young man's performance? Is there any phenomenon of buying with all his might?"
Cui Anping shook his head and replied: "I have asked several vendors. This young man is very polite and generous. He almost made a deal with it at a high price after he was attracted by it. He doesn't care about money at all. However, he has a very good vision and chooses high-quality products. It can be seen that he is also an expert!"
Uncle Quan held his chin in his hand and thought carefully. Maybe this was a good breakthrough. Since this young man loved antiques so much, he could just use his preferences and impress him with rare antiques. Maybe he could come forward and say something, and everything could be safely solved.
