Chapter 1405 Qingdao Trip
Liu Xia had only deliberately created the situation in order to pin the blame on Cheng Qianfan in order to avoid possible future investigations. She did not suspect Cheng Qianfan and did not think that he had any other purpose.
However, now, after careful consideration, Liu Xia couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.
Why did Cheng Qianfan follow her?
Or was he not following her, but just passing through? If it was passing through, what was his original intention?
If it's not on the way, then he wants to follow her on purpose. What's the purpose of this?
Or maybe Cheng Qianfan has other purposes?
So, did Cheng Qianfan really not touch the briefcase when it was out of his sight?
Liu Xia didn't know.
She thought to herself and could only keep this matter in mind.
The next day, morning.
The 'Fuso' ship docked at Qingdao Port.
The entire Qingdao Port was heavily guarded and was completely taken over by the Qingdao Japanese military police. Except for the traitors who came to welcome them, no Chinese were allowed to approach the port unless they were port staff with special passes.
After a low-key yet respectful welcoming ceremony, Wang Tianhai's team, including Cheng Qianfan and other entourage, left the port in more than ten cars.
He was in the same car with Liu Xia and Chu Mingyu's driver Du Weiming.
Liu Xia looked out of the car window and saw some wealthy merchants and passengers who arrived on the same ship also disembarking and leaving.
Her gaze lingered on a young man in a suit for a moment. When she saw that he successfully passed the inspection, got off the ship, and called a rickshaw to leave, Liu Xia breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister Xia, what are you looking at?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Nothing." Liu Xia shook her head and said with some emotion, "It has been many years since I last came to Qingdao. Things and people have changed a lot."
The convoy arrived at the Guest House in a grand manner and completed the check-in procedures under the arrangement of the hotel staff and the Japanese reception staff.
Cheng Qianfan and Du Weiming were in the same room. After Du Weiming greeted him, he left the room and wandered around.
Cheng Qianfan was not in a hurry to go out to familiarize himself with the environment. He wanted to perform the whole act, so due to the uncomfortable sequelae of seasickness, he stayed in the room to rest.
After resting for about an hour, Cheng Qianfan called the waiter.
"Sir, how can I help you?"
"Please bring some newspapers." Cheng Qianfan said.
"Okay." The waiter said, "Excuse me, sir, what do you want for the newspaper?"
"The best-selling newspapers in Qingdao." Cheng Qianfan said, and then he smiled and said, "If possible, another cup of coffee."
"no problem."
Soon, the waiter brought a stack of newspapers and a cup of coffee.
"Thank you for your hard work." Cheng Qianfan handed over a Japanese yen note. "I like reading newspapers. If possible, please bring more of the latest newspapers in the next few days."
"Of course, it's my pleasure to serve you." The waiter took the tip and said happily.
"Thank you." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile. Since he wanted to get in touch with Taozi and others through newspapers, he had to start creating the requirement and habit of reading newspapers for himself.
……
Seaside Department Store.
As the Spring Festival approaches, department stores are doing good business.
Hu Zejun pretended to be a customer who came to purchase goods and was led into the backyard again.
"Stationmaster, we have checked it out." He took off his hat, held it in his hand, and reported to Ke Zhijiang, "It has been found out that the Yingbin Hotel, Taiping Road Hotel, and the Japanese Toyo Hotel on Shaoguan Road should be used by the Japanese as the accommodation hotels for the 'Big Three' meeting."
"Wang Tianhai, Liang Hongzhi, and Wang Keming." Ke Zhijiang said thoughtfully, "It seems that the Japanese should have arranged these three in these three hotels."
He looked at Hu Zejun and said in a deep voice, "These three traitors deserve to die, but we have limited power, so we can only choose one side as our target."
"What the stationmaster means is that we should target Wang Tianhai?" Hu Zejun said.
"That's right." Ke Zhijiang nodded. "Among these three people, Wang Tianhai has the greatest influence. The chairman hates him deeply. Boss Dai has also sent three telegrams to order us to eliminate him at all costs."
He looked at Hu Zejun, "Our first priority now is to determine which hotel Wang Tianhai will stay in."
"This is a bit difficult." Hu Zejun frowned and said, "Stationmaster, the brothers secretly monitored these three hotels and found that the Japanese have imposed martial law around the hotels. The three hotels have also refused to allow outside guests to stay. Our people can't get close at all."
"No matter how difficult it is, we must find a way to get close." Ke Zhijiang said in a deep voice, frowning as he thought.
"Stationmaster, I noticed that there are reporters with cameras hanging around their necks wandering around the entrances of these three hotels." Hu Zejun suddenly thought of a detail and said, "Can our people disguise themselves as reporters and sneak in to investigate?"
"That's an idea." Ke Zhijiang's eyes lit up and he nodded, saying, "We can give it a try."
"Then I'll arrange it right away." Hu Zejun said.
"Not busy." Ke Zhijiang waved his hand. He thought, "Judging from the tight security of the Japanese, they must strictly check people coming in and out. So, it would be difficult for even a reporter to sneak in."
"What the stationmaster said is absolutely right," Hu Zejun said. "I guess that the journalists who were able to enter the hotel must have been specially approved by the Japanese. Or, given the Japanese habits, they might have issued some special passes."
"Yes, a pass." Ke Zhijiang nodded deeply. "Well, find a way to get a pass and see if Lao Hei can forge one."
Lao Hei is a member of the Intelligence Department of Qingdao Station. He is good at forging all kinds of certificates. The brothers of Qingdao Station were able to escape the searches of the Japanese and puppet troops time and time again, and the certificates forged by Lao Hei played a vital role in this.
"Okay." Hu Zejun nodded, "I'll do it right away."
……
Shanghai.
Joffre Road.
Hu Qiming was drunk and staggered back home.
As soon as I arrived at the door, the landlady called me.
"Mr. Hu, your telegram," said the landlady.
"Telegram?" Hu Qiming's heart was moved, but his face was drunk. When he got off the car, he almost fell down. He thanked the landlady who came up to help him, took the telegram from her hand, glanced at it, and muttered, "Hurry up, hurry up, things always have priorities."
"Mr. Hu also has relatives in Qingdao?" the landlady asked curiously.
"There's a cousin in Qingdao." Hu Qiming said angrily, "This kid is annoying. He must be calling for money."
Having said this, without waiting for the landlady to ask any more questions, he walked in staggeringly, carrying his rickshaw.
He locked the rickshaw in the yard, went upstairs and bolted the door.
There was no sign of drunkenness on his face; his eyes were bright and his expression was serious.
Soon, the telegram, which was apparently a greeting but also asked for money after talking about some trivial matters, was translated.
Hu Qiming took a look at the translated telegram and was very excited. She was worthy of being the eldest sister, and she actually got such a confidential telegram.
He couldn't help but have more speculations about the identity of this mysterious elder sister. It seemed that the 'eldest sister' must be lurking in an important position within the Wang Group, otherwise there would be no way she would have access to such confidential information.
Soon, he took out the telegraph machine from the secret compartment, put on headphones, and began sending messages to the Chongqing headquarters.
Almost a few minutes after Hu Qiming turned on the radio to send the message, in the Special High Section's Telecommunications Research Laboratory, the agent in the laboratory immediately exclaimed and reported to Nohara Ken'er, "Chief, that strange radio wave has appeared again."
……
"Good! Good! Good!" Dai Chunfeng showed a hearty smile, "It is worthy of being called 'Qiqiao Flower'!"
Just now, "Qiqiaohua" sent a telegram from Shanghai, reporting top-secret intelligence to the Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters.
"This intelligence is very timely." Qi Wu also said in admiration, "With the Japanese security arrangements for the 'Big Three' meeting, Qingdao's chances of achieving great things have greatly increased. This can be said to be like adding wings to a tiger."
However, Qi Wu's expression immediately became solemn. "It's just that, judging from this intelligence, the Japanese attach great importance to the security of the 'Big Three' meeting. Even if Qingdao has this intelligence, it will not be easy for them to take effective action."
Upon hearing this, Dai Chunfeng nodded with a serious expression.
"No matter what, this intelligence is of great help to Ke Zhijiang." Dai Chunfeng said, "Our intelligence work has reached its peak."
He said to Qi Wu, "Call Ke Zhijiang and tell him that the bureau has done its best to help him. I hope he won't let me down."
"Yes!"
……
Kaisheng Apartment.
A rapid knock on the door woke Ke Zhijiang up.
He quickly opened the drawer, took out the pistol, turned off the safety and went behind the door.
Qi Yafeng, who was lying in bed, took out a small revolver from her purse on the bedside table and looked towards the door with a nervous expression.
"who."
"Third brother, it's me, Xiao Shen."
Hearing Shen Xi's voice, Ke Zhijiang breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door and let Shen Xi in.
"Stationmaster, Boss Dai called." Shen Xi took off his hat, took out the telegram from the brim and handed it to Ke Zhijiang.
"Great!" Ke Zhijiang was excited after reading the telegram, and couldn't help but sigh again, "It's worthy of being the bureau headquarters. We are still working hard to check it, but the bureau headquarters has already obtained the enemy's security protection plan."
He flicked the telegram with his left hand and said happily, "During the day, I was still worrying about how to determine where Wang Ni lives, but the bureau headquarters has already figured it all out."
The telegram clearly pointed out that the Japanese arranged for Wang Tianhai's group to stay at the Yingbin Hotel; the Japanese Shanghai Front Army attendees and Japanese journalists, the North China Japanese Army Liaison Department and Wang Keming and his party, the Central China Japanese Army Liaison Department and Liang Hongzhi and his party were accommodated at the Taiping Road Hotel; the Chief of Staff of the Japanese invading forces, Itagaki Seishirō, the North China Front Army attendees and Tokyo military personnel were accommodated at the Shaoguan Road Japan Toyo Hotel.
"Webmaster, the Taiping Road Hotel and the Dongyang Hotel on Shaoguan Road are also of great attack value." Shen Xi said excitedly.
"Yes!" Ke Zhijiang agreed and nodded.
Liang Hongzhi Group, Wang Keming Group, the Japanese Military Liaison Departments in North China and Central China, plus the Japanese military representatives in Shanghai are all at the Taiping Road Hotel. This is also a big pot of fish.
As for the Toyo Hotel on Shaoguan Road, let alone anything else, just Itagaki Seishirō is a big fat fish!
"It's a pity that we are short of manpower and can only attack one place." Ke Zhijiang shook his head regretfully. He gritted his teeth and said, "The plan remains unchanged. Our primary target is Wang Tianhai. This cannot be shaken!"
Shen Xi opened his mouth. In his mind, the Japanese chief Itagaki Seishirō was the biggest fish.
However, he also knew that Chongqing regarded Wang Tianhai as the absolute number one target for elimination, so he could only keep his mouth shut.
"Since it has been confirmed that Wang Tianhai will stay at the Guest House," Ke Zhijiang said with a serious expression but also a hint of excitement, "our next task is to plan how to take action against the Guest House and Wang Tianhai!"
……
"Why are you only eating so little?" Liu Xia glanced at Cheng Qianfan.
"I haven't recovered from seasickness yet." Cheng Qianfan smiled bitterly and touched his stomach. "Listen, Sister Xia, I'm obviously hungry, but I don't have much appetite."
"Take it easy." Liu Xia also shook her head helplessly. "The Secretary General said that you didn't get seasick when you were a child. Why do you get so seasick now?"
"Who knows?" Cheng Qianfan was a little disappointed and shook his head with a wry smile.
"I heard that Liang Hongzhi and Wang Keming's people have also arrived," he said to Liu Xia.
"They say they have arrived." Liu Xia nodded. As she spoke, she looked around and said, "It is said that not only these two have arrived, but Shang Minqing has also arrived."
"Why is he here too?" Cheng Qianfan asked in surprise.
"It's as expected," Liu Xia said. "The Japanese had leaked the news a long time ago."
According to the intelligence Wang had just obtained, the Japanese China Expeditionary Army's Reporting Department had even formulated the "Qingdao Talks Propaganda and Reporting Guidelines" in advance, which not only stipulated the propaganda guidelines and compiled a propaganda and reporting schedule, but also drafted a full set of press releases to fully express Japan's intentions.
"The Japanese even solemnly handed this document over to Mr. Wang, and they put it in a nice way, saying that they respected Mr. Wang." Liu Xia snorted coldly.
"This document specifically mentioned Shang Minqing's article "The New Regime and the Relationship between Mongolia and Xinjiang" which he would write during the conference. It described Shang Minqing's visit as being at the invitation of Mr. Wang to "report the special situation in Mongolia and Xinjiang" on behalf of the Mongolian-Xinjiang United Government and to discuss matters related to the Mongolian-Xinjiang United Government's independent participation in the Central Political Conference."
Cheng Qianfan frowned, "The Japanese have ulterior motives. They are forcing Mr. Wang to admit that the Mengjiang United Government is independent of the central government."
"Mr. Wang is very dissatisfied with this." Liu Xia said in a low voice.
Cheng Qianfan was silent for a long time, then he sighed, "So what if I'm not satisfied."
He said to Liu Xia, "It's not easy for Mr. Wang to endure hardships and endure hardships."
Liu Xia glanced at Cheng Qianfan, nodded, and said nothing more.
……
Qingdao, Japanese military airport.
A Japanese military plane slowly landed.
The chief of the intelligence room of the Qingdao Military Police Headquarters, Masago Onodera, along with his subordinate Kunihiro Kurata, and the chief of the Zhengzhi Security Room of the Military Police Headquarters, Shibayama Yoshidera, and his officers, were waiting at the airport early.
"Mr. Sage, welcome, welcome." When Onodera Masago saw Sage Umezumi and his men getting off the plane, he took the first step to greet them.
"Onodera-kun, long time no see, haha." Sakami Umezumi shook hands with Onodera Masago and said happily.
"This is Chief Shibayamaji of the Zhengzhi Security Department."
"Shibayama-kun, I have long admired your name."
"Sakami-kun, I've long admired you."
Sakami Umezumi shook hands with Shibayama Yoshidera and introduced his own people to the other party.
"This is Kawada Atsuto," said Saegi Umezumi. "Kawada-kun is from Kyoto and is highly trusted by Commander Ikeuchi."
Kawada, from Kyoto.
Onodera Masago immediately caught the key information revealed by Sakami Umezu's residence. He glanced at Sakami Umezu and saw that the other party nodded slightly. Onodera Masago's face became more enthusiastic and shook hands with Kawada Atsuto, "Kawada-kun, welcome to Qingdao."
"Director Onodera, thank you for bothering me." Kawada Atsuto nodded slightly.
Shibayama Yoshidera also understood immediately, and made some guesses about Kawada Atsuto's identity, and shook hands with Kawada Atsuto enthusiastically.
"This is Sen Kitahara Tsukasa from the Ume Agency." Sakami Umezumu pointed at another person next to him and introduced him.
"Welcome." Onodera Masago and Shibayama Yoshidera said lightly.
Qian Beiyuan Si responded with a smile on his face, but snorted in his heart.
