Chapter 175: The Civet Cat Project
Based on the reception capacity of Chuyue Hotel, Xiang Chu drafted a list of people going to Shanghai.
He brought all the people he thought had good performance and specially kept Liu Zhengxiong in Nanjing.
After the list of people going to Shanghai was drafted, he immediately transferred the call to Liu Zhengxiong's office.
It took more than half an hour for the call to be connected. Liu Zhengxiong was so happy that he said excitedly:
"Xiang boy! It's all right now..."
Xiang Chu immediately interrupted him and scolded:
"Stop! I have something serious to tell you. Please write down the list of people going to Shanghai."
Liu Zhengxiong reacted, broke out in a cold sweat, and said hurriedly:
"Okay! You tell me and I'll remember."
When Liu Zhengxiong finished writing, he immediately quit and shouted, "Why am I not included? I have always wanted to go to Shanghai to see the flowers, the colorful world, and the plum garden."
Xiang Chu saw from his deliberate pause that he wanted to come and see Hua Aimei.
At this time, Hua Aimei and other comrades had been transferred to the secret ward of Jishi Hospital to recuperate.
This favor still needs to be done. Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Okay! That's Yu Garden. But before you come, remember to ask Deputy Director Ning to bring all the travel expenses, food and lodging expenses, otherwise you will all live on the street."
"understand!"
Liu Zhengxiong said excitedly that he would immediately convey and implement Xiang Chu's instructions.
Xiang Chu hung up the phone, and it rang again.
Bao Ge said anxiously, "Team Leader! Section Chief Wang's wife and children are kneeling at the door of the hotel, begging you to save them."
"what?"
Xiang Chu exclaimed, paused, and ordered,
"Hurry up and take Madam Wang and the child to the hall. I'll be down right away."
"Yes!"
Bao Ge hurriedly accepted the order.
Xiang Chu came to the lobby on the first floor and saw a simple middle-aged woman with a pair of children under the age of ten, crying loudly.
Long Ling was trying to persuade him.
Bao Ge said anxiously, "Team Leader! They are Stationmaster Wang's wife, son, and daughter."
Madam Wang fell to her knees and begged, "Brother Xiang! Please save the child's father."
"Sister-in-law! Get up quickly. I will definitely rescue Stationmaster Wang."
Xiang Chu said anxiously to Long Ling,
"Sister Long! Help her up and find her a room."
Madam Wang cried, "Brother Xiang! We won't stay at the hotel and will go home right away. We just ask you to rescue the child's father. The child and I go to Shanghai Station every day. They said they couldn't find Senwu, so they asked me to come here to find you. Woo woo!"
Xiang Chu didn't expect that the Shanghai Intelligence Station had not told him, so he comforted him:
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I will find a way to save Stationmaster Wang right away."
Wang Senwu's two children knelt down and begged, "Uncle! Please save my dad."
Xiang Chu hurriedly pulled the two children up and said hurriedly:
"Good boy! Get up quickly, uncle will come to rescue you right away."
He sent Wang Senwu's wife and children away, and returned to A-di's room thinking.
So much time has passed, he dare not guarantee that Wang Senwu is not dead.
Since I have already promised them, I can't wait for Liu Zhengxiong and others to come.
The Shanghai Special High Police is like a den of dragons and tigers. Given the extremely tense relations between the two countries, having too many people go there would actually do harm.
Xiang Chu pondered for a long time and took out the suitcase containing Ichiro Itamoto's luggage.
He selected some more equipment, loading his silent pistol and two Browning pistols with bullets.
Then he put on a kimono, a woolen coat, and a top hat, then he carried his suitcase out of the house and walked through the back door to a black Ford sedan.
He quickly started the car engine and drove towards the Japanese community in Hongkou.
When he passed the inspection post, he took off his woolen coat, combed his hair, and straightened his clothes, dressing up as a Japanese aristocrat named Taira Eikazu whom he met in Japan.
He took out the ID he had prepared in advance and put on a mask that was exactly the same as the photo on his ID.
Xiang Chu held a cigar in his mouth, drove the Ford car slowly to the checkpoint, handed his ID to the Japanese police, handed him a cigar, and said happily in a pure Tokyo accent:
"Your Excellency, have you heard about this? Something big happened in China. Haha!"
The Japanese policeman took the cigar, glanced at the ID, and said with a smile:
"Thank you, sir. I heard about this and it's really great!"
Xiang Chu pretended to be unhappy and said: "You are the imperial police, you are not allowed to call yourself 'little one', otherwise it will insult your ancestors. Please say your name again."
The Japanese policeman was moved and said, "Sir! My name is Ichiro Hase."
"Very good! We must live proudly on the land of China."
Xiang Chu praised, driving past the checkpoint.
Hase Ichiro shouted loudly: "Thank you, sir."
An old policeman beside him asked, "Hase-kun! Whose family is this gentleman from?"
Hase Ichiro whispered, "The Heike clan is ranked first among the four great noble families! His name is Heike Mamoru."
"Ah! So noble?"
The old policeman was stunned.
In order to familiarize himself with the terrain, Xiang Chu drove a Ford car around the Japanese community.
Finally, he parked the car not far from the Special Higher Police, picked up his camera and got out.
He pretended to take pictures of the street scenery and slowly approached the compound where the Special High Police was located.
Soon, he arrived at the door of the Special Higher Section, pretending to be in a hurry, and loudly asked the guard at the door:
"Sir! Where is the toilet?"
The guard at the door saw that he was dressed elegantly and spoke with a Tokyo accent, so he pointed to a place not far away and said:
"There's a public toilet 200 meters ahead."
Xiang Chu took out a hundred-dollar bill and said with a wry smile, "Can you change it for some toilet paper?"
"what!"
The guard was stunned, then excitedly took the hundred-dollar bill and said with a big smile on his face,
"Okay! Please wait a moment, I'll get it for you."
After saying this, he ran into the door like a flash.
Xiang Chu held his stomach and shouted, "Please hurry up, sir. I can't hold on any longer. Oh! You are so anxious that you have to exchange money for toilet paper. Exchange money for toilet paper."
Such a loud noise naturally alarmed Zheng Zhili, and he hurried to the window.
"It seems that this nobleman is played by the benefactor!"
Thinking of this, Zheng Zhili hurriedly picked up an ancient book and walked out of the room.
At this time, Xiang Chu had already changed the toilet paper and ran nervously towards the public toilet in the distance.
He waited in the bathroom for about five minutes, and Zheng Zhili finally came.
Xiang Chu deliberately smiled and said, "Do you need toilet paper?"
Zheng Zhili nodded and said, "Yes!"
"Give!"
Xiang Chu handed him a piece of tissue paper with the meeting place note on it.
"Thank you!"
Zheng Zhili took it and unfolded it. The note read:
"'Angelica'! I'll be waiting for you at the Far East Coffee House."
Half an hour later, Zheng Zhili walked into the Far East Coffee Shop.
Xiang Chu waved to him from a coffee table by the window away from the bar and shouted happily:
"Chiyo-kun! I ordered it for you."
"Haha! You're here early."
Zheng Zhili laughed loudly, walked over to sit opposite Xiang Chu, and whispered,
"My benefactor! You actually got to know the Special Higher Police. I really admire you."
Xiang Chu handed Ping Weihe's ID to him and whispered, "Zhili! You can call me by this name."
Zheng Zhili took it and looked at it, and said in surprise: "My benefactor! Where did you get such a noble identity?"
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "I met a nobleman in Japan, but he has disappeared and I kept his ID. Because it has been so long, I forged another ID."
Zheng Zhili praised: "The person and the documents are exactly the same as the real ones. Oh, by the way! I found some information about Yuan Mingyi, I wonder if it will be useful."
After saying this, he opened the book and took out some information that was stuck inside.
Xiang Chu took the information and put it in his pocket, nodding and saying, "Of course it's useful. One day, I will definitely play the role of Yuan Mingyi and replace my brother-in-law."
Zheng Zhili smiled and said, "I know! This is called replacing the prince with a cat."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! This is my raccoon cat plan. You must collect more information about Minamoto no Akiyoshi. It would be best if he could come to China. If not, I will go to Japan to find him as a replacement."
"You are so courageous! I admire you."
Zheng Zhili praised, and after a pause,
"My benefactor! You must have something else to do."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Wang Senwu, the head of the Shanghai Intelligence Station, is missing. I think it must be the work of the Special High Section. I don't know if he is dead or not, and if he is not dead, where is he being held?"
Zheng Zhili nodded and said, "Yes! It was done by Takeshita Yunzi. She has never been sent to the Special Higher Section. She often goes to the 'Chuhe Hanjie' chess club. She should be locked up in the basement below the chess club."
"Great!"
Xiang Chu was overjoyed, took out a note and handed it to Zheng Zhili, saying,
"Zhili! If you send a telegram in the future, please send it to this call sign."
Zheng Zhili took the note, glanced at it, put it in his pocket, and nodded:
"Okay! I'll use this call sign from now on."
Xiang Chu said gratefully, "Let's go! You shouldn't be out for too long."
"Ok!"
Zheng Zhili nodded, drank the coffee in the cup in one gulp, and picked up the book on the table.
He thought for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "My benefactor! I go to Bowen Bookstore almost every afternoon around 3 o'clock. If you need to find me, you can go there."
"it is good!"
Xiang Chu nodded heavily.
Zheng Zhili got up and left the Far East Coffee Shop. Xiang Chu ordered some snacks to take away and chatted with the Japanese female boss for a while before leaving the coffee shop.
He walked around and took some photos of the scenery before returning to the car, starting the engine and driving towards the "Chuhe Hanjie" chess club.
