Chapter 972 The Silence Before the Smoke
"Brother Liu, is our progress too slow? We have been observing around for more than two days, so why don't we get closer to the target?"
Zhang Wenkai, wearing a well-made dress, wandered around with Liu Daxiang for two days, and finally felt a little less calm.
"Patient! Patience! Do you understand? The other party's identity is unusual, and there may be a talented person around you. Brother Lin deliberately reminds you not to disclose it to others, which means that this matter is extremely important. We may still be the most critical part of it. If we fail our mission, we will be in the womb, and we will be killed if we plan these things."
"Brother Lin? Brother Liu, are you so close to Team Lin?" Zhang Wenkai became a little curious and came over to ask in a low voice.
Why is this guy so unique? Liu Daxiang was speechless, but he still explained it to him that this guy obviously has no practical experience in action. What should be explained and reminded him should be done.
"...This is a synonym... Called Team Lin, accidentally let people hear it, and the associations that come into being easily thought of us. If you think about it, you will be happy to call Brother Lin, Brother Lin, Manager Lin, Manager Lin, etc.
The former is more inclined to the world, while the latter is more inclined to the businessman. It depends on the environment and it is applicable in Shanghai anyway. As long as you communicate with you and know who you refer to, it is the same as calling Boss Dai."
"…Oh…” Zhang Wenkai suddenly realized. He also said that the names of people after they were given a mission have become so life- and socialized. It turns out that there are these considerations.
Liu Daxiang also told him some precautions, tips, etc. during the action, so that he could get into the situation faster. It is true that they have been investigating these two days, but they are also allowing these two novices to adapt.
The two continued to investigate the surrounding situation. Zhang Wenkai played the role of a domineering young master from a nouveau riche. He walked on the crab steps and walked around the streets with no one. From time to time, he whistled at the beautifully dressed woman and laughed a few words.
As for Liu Daxiang, he was like the butler who was sent to see the young master. He was always so unhappy that he was called around. He was called east to buy one, and then went west to look at this. Sometimes he looked helpless and forced to inquire about the other woman's residence. He often...
"Okay, it's almost done, go back and meet!" Seeing the temperature rise rapidly, Liu Daxiang said next to Zhang Wenkai.
So, amid Zhang Wenkai's cursing and complaining, Liu Daxiang immediately waved to the rickshaw and sent the two back to their residence. One of them is more suitable for short-term rental apartments, or apartments, hotels, or apartments.
Next to him, Ding Zhe also brought Yi Wenbin, who was like a follower. The two people moved into this apartment separately. The two of them acted like alike and then moved their residence to two adjacent rooms.
There are many situations like two people in this apartment, and so far, it has not attracted any special attention.
Zhang Wenkai and Ding Zhe whispered a few words at the door, complained about the weather, and then made an appointment to drink and play cards together, and entered Zhang Wenkai's apartment together.
As for Liu Daxiang and the others, they shared a servant room next to them, so they quickly went in and put the things in, and then rushed back to serve them.
"Wenbin, how is your situation? Do you have a chance?" After entering the door and closing, the two cautious people talked about the important matters.
"...It's very troublesome..." Yi Wenbin rubbed his temples and said, "It's extremely difficult to sneak in whether you live or work. It's seen too tightly, so you can only wait to find an opportunity."
Yi Wenbin did not say in detail that the two of them are the same target, but the starting point is different. They can master the basic information themselves, and the other party does not need it much.
So apart from those who think it is helpful to the other party or think that it needs staff communication, the two do not exchange too much information about them. The main reason is that they do not want the other party to worry about them and distract themselves. In these aspects, the two who have worked together for a long time have a tacit understanding.
...
"Brother, you guessed it right. Someone is deliberately releasing the news about Boss Zhu, but he failed to find out who was behind the scenes that manipulated and ordered all this.
However, the other party is very skillful. After the news comes out, it can quickly reach the ears of the bosses of each family, and then control the news. The other party has plenty of time to escape and disappear."
"It seems that it's going to be messy here!" After hearing the assertion, Boss Guo said that he was very skillful and said that his background would not be small. Combined with the news that came out, he had already figured it out.
Even if there are differences, the other party will definitely not deal with the Japanese, which means that this place is likely to become a place where the other party fights with the Japanese.
"By the way, there is another situation. Boss Chen's behavior is a bit abnormal. After receiving the news, he did not block the news as soon as possible, but instead arranged people to track down those who released the news.
Before the news came out, it could be explained that he did not understand the trick. The current action only shows that he was determined to vote for the Japanese!"
When Boss Guo heard this, he also frowned and said, "I'm afraid there are ghosts in the people like Lao Chen! You can arrange it and let someone keep an eye on Lao Chen and those people. If there is any abnormal movement, you must report it to me in detail."
"Okay, are there any other things to arrange?" The subordinate nodded and asked again.
"…Well..." Boss Guo pondered for a while and said, "Arranging someone again, pay more attention to Pi Dapeng's side!"
"Boss Pi? There's nothing to pay attention to, right? He's just a reckless man, and Pi's little sister is even more confused. She's also covered in a bunch of sand. She shouldn't be able to make any waves, right?"
Boss Guo heard this and asked, "Do you think the Japanese are entangled here for us, it's not for us?"
"What do you mean?" The subordinate also frowned and asked in a low voice.
"...It's not interesting, just have a little idea..." Boss Guo did not explain in detail. He seemed quite afraid of this matter, but just hinted at his subordinates.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! After the person left, Boss Guo kept grabbing his hair, and became a little irritable and crazy. He used to think that the camps buried in the dark were big umbrellas to shelter from the wind and rain, but now he realized that this is also the source of disaster!
...
"…Ding..." On a tatami, a small narrow-neck porcelain bottle touched the wine cup and made a crisp sound.
The frame of the mirror was crooked, and Takeuchi, who was a little drunken, suddenly woke up, calmly soothed for a moment, suddenly took a deep breath, straightened his glasses, straightened his sitting position, and sorted out his already unrestrained kimono.
"Suzuki, please come in!" After a little slowed down, Takeuchi spoke to the vague figure outside the door.
After Suzuki pushed open the door and entered, Takeuchi signaled him to close the door and signaled him to sit facing him.
"Suzuki, what's the situation today? Still haven't noticed it?" Takeuchi didn't talk about any idle articles, so he asked directly.
Looking at the slightly messy tabletop, the kimono collar and the faint filth on the long sleeves, Suzuki's brows were slightly tight, but in the end he didn't say anything about it.
"Court Takena, there are no valuable discoveries in the city today. There have been confirmed clues, no suspicious people, no suspicious signs..."
Suzuki's report, in a word, was nothing that could be found. Lin Mo and others had no clues, and the defected Liu Guangcheng and Chen Futian did not have any clues.
The Shanghai station was honestly shrank without any movement. The people under Du Daheng had not seen any suspicious actions except for giving them a holiday news and disturbing the investigation, as if their enemies had disappeared all at once.
They even started to check themselves to see where they might become the target of their opponent's breakthrough. Unfortunately, there are many places listed, and once they checked, they could not find any trace.
"What's the situation outside the city?" Takeuchi seemed a little calm. Seeing that Suzuki was about to be unable to continue talking, he asked for relief.
"Jiangcunjun asked his subordinates to go out to search everywhere according to our request, but a team of people were directly killed the day before yesterday. After that, his subordinates...
Although I haven't finished speaking, it's already obvious. I guess I'm afraid and dare not move anymore. Moving is also a fool.
Seeing that the commander's expression had not changed much, Suzuki continued to speak and said, "We have secretly arranged personnel to conduct secret investigations outside the city in the form of a two-and-three team. I believe there will be some rewards."
After listening to it, Takeuchi asked, "Didn't there be any substantial discoveries?"
Suzuki frowned and said, "In the concession, some rumors flowed out of that intelligence point last night, about..."
"Are you sure that the leader Chen took the initiative to investigate the other party and reported the matter to us?"
Takeuchi finally responded, thought for a while, and asked Suzuki to get the other party's information and study it carefully.
"There are still secrets on Chen Sang! Arrange people and conduct a more detailed investigation on him."
Takeuchi made arrangements immediately, but Suzuki seemed a little hesitant and finally spoke.
"Course Takeno, we are short of staff at present and can no longer distribute enough staff to investigate his past in various places."
Takeuchi heard this, thought about it for a moment, and said, "Transfer this matter to Mr. Matsushita and tell his opponents that they might start from which area. Chen Sang may be our most stable intervention point and let them find out these situations.
Furthermore, since those things can make Chen Sang firmly choose to take the side, it means that the identity of the person involved is not simple, we should have some records in this situation and let them come forward. Please check the past information carefully."
"…Hayi..." Suzuki responded immediately. Now he has no thoughts and will take into account the so-called conflicts of ideas.
"By the way, how are the arrangements going to ease relations with those gangsters? Is there any improvement?"
The awkward relationship with the gang members and the dissatisfaction that could be triggered at any time, accompanied by Liu Chen's escape, TK Technology naturally foresaw and made corresponding arrangements.
"…ah..." Seeing Suzuki lowering her head and not responding, Takeuchi sighed helplessly. In fact, he had foreseeed it, and this was just an attempt.
During this operation, a large number of so-called assisting personnel were mixed with external dispatches, many of which were non-intelligence units recruited from combat troops or retired personnel. Takeuchi knew too well about the nationals and too well about these field troops, and knew that this matter was almost impossible to be executed.
"Suzuki, I said early on that the other party may start with money. Is there no news here like the current Gin Market?"
After hearing this, Suzuki felt even more headache and said, "Course Taken, the only one that is directly related to us is the money shop. There were signs that someone had targeted him before, and even the news there was probably leaked by the other party.
But in recent times, the traces have disappeared. We have conducted a careful investigation around us, but we have not found any more valuable traces or clues."
"Do you think the other party has given up there?" Takeuchi asked, still calm, and there was no sign of inclination.
"…Hayi..." Suzuki responded and said, "We are always there, maintaining a strong armed force. If there is any situation, we can also hurry to support us soon.
I don’t think we don’t even have the chance to fight back, or we won’t be able to hold on. Even if that’s true, the deposits there are cash, silver and copper. How many can the other party take away in a short time?
Moreover, those traces were left before they were dispatched, and the Shanghai station was almost under our complete surveillance. I don’t think they would have the energy and mind to start our business."
"Do you think that those traces and news are the works of other forces? Even some people within us?" Takeuchi directly pointed out the meaning implied in Suzuki's words.
"…Hayi..." Suzuki didn't make any arguments and admitted directly. That's what he thought.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Then did you find out, did you spread the news last night?" Takeuchi did not directly deny it, but asked again to ask.
"What do you mean?" Suzuki's heart tightened, and she felt uneasy.
"I suspect that the other party still has another force lurking in the dark in Shanghai. If the other party only comes for a few days and does not cooperate with the Shanghai station, it will be too terrible for the opponent to spread the news so accurately."
"..." Suzuki frowned. Although this was just a possibility, if so, the consequences would be...
"There is only this suspicion and there is no relevant evidence to inform you. I just hope you can pay attention to it..."
Takeuchi did not force him to believe his own speculation, but just planted a seed. If this guess is true, I believe that it will grow up and bear fruit sooner or later.
"Suzuki, I wonder what you think about the current situation?" Both sides were silent for a moment, and Takeuchi spoke on his own initiative.
"The tranquility before the storm!" Suzuki was silent for a while and said this firmly.
"Very good, then go and prepare for the storm!" Takeuchi nodded seriously and spoke solemnly.
After Suzuki retreated, Takeuchi's calmness disappeared for a long time, and his face was full of bitterness and gloom. To be honest, at this point, he didn't want to have this incident at all, but unfortunately he couldn't help but!
Kato-kun threw the matter to him, and he felt relieved, but he had made trouble for himself. His boss was transferred away in a lonely way, and seeing that this generation would be a little bit worse, he took himself out and entered everyone's sight. It was already circulated that people who were his boss had no good ending...
