Chapter 438 Xu Lai is being hunted
Xiang Chu got into the car with his suitcase and drove back to No. 77 Duolun Road.
He took out the money and belongings from Nan Zao Yunzi's suitcase and put them into the safe.
Needless to say, the notes and letters and photos were not among them.
"It seems like I want to continue taking notes!"
Xiang Chu knew it well and locked the safe.
He took out the leather envelope containing the film machine and examined it.
The film agency is affiliated with the cabinet's central intelligence agency, namely the Cabinet Intelligence Bureau.
The bureau reports directly to the Prime Minister and is divided into one department and five ministries.
That is, the General Office, Planning Department, Reporting Department, International Department, Review Department, and Cultural Department.
The film agency is affiliated with the International Department of the 3rd Department, and its functions are all-encompassing, with a total of five sheets of paper.
The subordinate institutions clearly stated that personnel expenses would be withdrawn from the Bank of China account, which was a very thoughtful consideration.
Moreover, a corresponding reward and punishment mechanism is set up based on the amount and value of intelligence provided.
On the last page, the International Department left the radio call sign, code name, etc. for contacting him, with only half a day left.
"I'd better ask Master for instructions!"
Xiang Chu pondered inwardly, turned on the radio, and turned the knob to a familiar position.
He sent a telegram: "Master! The Kamikaze Supervisory Team is no longer supervising the war. Fuso has asked me to lead the Supervisory Team to establish a shadow agency under the International Department of the Cabinet Intelligence Bureau. For the needs of the war, I request approval. Disciple!"
After a long time, the reply to the telegram was just two words: "OK!"
"Master! The small number of words means you don't approve of me!"
Xiang Chu kept muttering in his heart that the time limit was approaching. He turned the radio knob to the International Department radio call sign and sent a telegram:
"Three birds! Agree to set up the Shadow Agency and swear to provide intelligence to the Empire until death. Shadow Bird!"
Soon, the message came back: "Shadow Bird! You are very welcome to join us. Three Birds!"
Xiang Chu looked at the small telegram and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "How can I explain it clearly in my lifetime?"
After Nan Zao Yunzi left Shanghai, there was no need for him to stay at No. 77 Duolun Road, so he closed the doors and windows, took the necessary belongings and went to No. 76 Duolun Road across the street.
It’s good to live close by. You can move everything in two trips.
Then he called Yu Xiaowan's office.
"Xiao Wan! I'm back at No. 76 Duolun Road."
"You're back?!"
Yu Xiaowan exclaimed, paused, and said excitedly,
"I'll be home soon."
"Hey! I need to go out for a while..."
Xiang Chu said anxiously, but she had already hung up the phone, feeling extremely helpless.
"This reckless guy, I can only work over the phone."
He thought about it and felt that he should meet with Secretary Yuan in person.
So I called Secretary Yuan and asked with a smile, "Secretary Yuan! Are you free tomorrow at noon? I would like to ask you for advice on Tang and Song poetry."
Secretary Yuan smiled and said, "Of course! But I always feel that there are too many stalkers at the Chuyue Hotel in the British Concession. Can we change to another place?"
Xiang Chu happily said, "Okay! You decide where to go."
Secretary Yuan thought for a moment and said, "General Fujiwara! Why don't you go to Qingyun Teahouse on Gonghe Road, which I often go to? When you arrive at noon tomorrow, just ask Secretary Yuan for the private room you booked."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Okay! See you then."
It was really disturbing that Chuyue Hotel had become the focus of surveillance.
Xiang Chu called Long Ling and asked, "Sister Long! Has our Chuyue Hotel been targeted again?"
Long Ling smiled bitterly and said, "Yeah! They don't look like Fuso agents. They are probably all here for you."
Xiang Chu ordered: "You might as well call the police in the concession. After all, we have to pay taxes every month for running a restaurant."
Long Ling nodded and said, "Okay!"
Xiang Chu wanted to move to Chuyue Hotel, but he gave up the idea.
Not long after, Yu Xiaowan came back in a hurry.
She threw herself into Xiang Chu's arms and cried loudly:
"Brother Chu! I was almost kidnapped a few days ago."
"what?!"
Xiang Chu was stunned, wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief, and said anxiously,
"Xiao Wan! Do you know who did this?"
Yu Xiaowan said angrily: "Two people ordered this, one is Doihara, and the other is Long Wei."
Xiang Chu said bitterly, "I have warned Doihara Xian'er, so he is no longer a concern. This Long Wei is the district chief sent by the Military Intelligence Bureau to Shanghai. I will contact the Military Intelligence Bureau immediately. If Long Wei dares to mess around again, I will kill him."
After he finished speaking, he immediately sent a telegram to Song Xi: "7 points! Please tell the Military Intelligence Bureau that Long Wei in the Shanghai District is not allowed to attack Director Yu of Jishi Hospital again, otherwise he will bear the consequences. Blindfolded man!"
Soon, Song Xi replied to the message: "Blindfolded man! I have informed Dai Nong that if you can get away, please go back to Chongqing. 7 items!"
Xiang Chu replied to the telegram: "I am planning to return to Chongqing."
Yu Xiaowan said unhappily, "Are you going back to Chongqing again?"
Xiang Chu tried to cheer her up and said, "Xiao Wan! I will take you to Hong Kong to open a Xieren Hospital, and then go back to Chongqing."
Yu Xiaowan asked in confusion: "But you are not bringing the Kamikaze Supervisory Team?"
"The Japs think they are invincible and can win without supervision."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly, handed her the document from the Shadow Agency, and said mysteriously,
"The entire Kamikaze Squad has been transferred to the Shadow Agency. Do you want to join?"
Yu Xiaowan took the document and said without hesitation: "If you join, I will join. Anyway, I will follow you down this dark road to the end of my life."
Xiang Chu was suddenly inexplicably moved. Yu Xiaowan's love for him had surpassed everything...
The next day at noon, at Qingyun Teahouse on Gonghe Road.
Xiang Chu changed into casual clothes and drove here.
Led by the waiter, they arrived at the box where Yuan Shu was.
Xiang Chu praised: "Secretary Yuan! It feels quite quiet here."
Yuan Shu offered him a cup of Longjing tea and said with a smile:
"Yeah! There really aren't that many people stalking at the Chuyue Hotel."
"The manager has already called the Concession police."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly, took out an envelope and handed it to him.
"This is what Shancheng told you to do, saying you have the means to publish it."
Yuan Shu opened the envelope, took out several photos of poison gas bombs, and said with a smile:
"General Fujiwara! Actually, you can just give me the film."
Xiang Chu said bluntly: "Some photos are not suitable for publication, I selected them in advance."
"Too!"
Yuan Shu nodded, put away the photo, and said with a smile,
"General Fujiwara! I accidentally saw two documents from Doihara Kenji some time ago, namely "Progress Report of the Special Committee on China's Instigation of Chinese Military and Political Officials" and "Research and Analysis on the Similarities between 'Phoenix', 'Thousand-Faced Kuigo' and 'Yamashiko'"
Xiang Chu was surprised and said, "Really? But Doihara Xian'er has already gone to work in the 14th Division, so he can't cause any trouble for the time being."
Yuan Shu shook his head and said, "Doihara Xian'er is Fuso's ace agent. He is only joining the army for gilding his skills and will soon return to the intelligence agency."
Xiang Chu didn't want to talk about the topic of "Phoenix" and "Yamadai leader", so he asked with a smile: "Secretary Yuan! As far as you know, which military and political leaders is Doihara Xian'er trying to instigate?"
Yuan Shu said without hesitation: "Tang Shao! Zhu Shen! Liang Zhi! And there is an important person named Wang."
"well--!"
Xiang Chu sighed. The other people were not a concern, except for the important official named Wang, who was really troublesome.
He chatted with Yuan Shu for a while, then left Qingyun Teahouse and drove straight to the Kamikaze Squadron's base.
"Catch the Chinese beauty spy!"
Suddenly, explosions, gunshots, and the lewd laughter of the Japanese soldiers were heard ahead.
Xu Lai was wearing a black lady's hat, a black coat, holding a pistol in her hand, and had a bullet wound in the thigh. She was staggering towards his car.
Xiang Chu rushed forward and shouted loudly: "Alai! Get in the car!"
"Brother Chu!"
Xu Lai was extremely surprised. He opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.
Xiang Chu took out a mask and said anxiously, "Take off your hat and coat! Put on the mask quickly."
Xu Lai put on the mask first, then took off his hat and coat and stuffed them under the seat.
At this time, a squad of Japanese military police ran over and pointed their guns at Xiang Chu's car.
The leader was a lieutenant of the military police, who shouted, "Stop the car and check!"
Xiang Chu pointed at him and shouted angrily: "Lieutenant! Do you see who this general is?"
The lieutenant of the gendarmes was so frightened that his hair stood on end. He said hurriedly:
"It turns out to be Lieutenant General Fujiwara. I am so sorry!"
Xiang Chu ordered loudly: "Lieutenant! Tell your captain that I am going to set up a shadow agency. Tell him to go to the Kamikaze Supervisory Team to find me this afternoon."
"Hello!"
The military police lieutenant bowed and accepted the order.
