Chapter 192 Tracking
Takahashi Senbei said happily:
"Ikeda-kun, you're here just in time. I'll introduce you to a friend who might be able to help hide your identity!"
At the same time, he collected the two people's information and handed it over to his subordinates for filing.
"Oh, there is such a good thing?" Eisuke Ikeda asked curiously.
Takahashi Senbei said happily:
"Yes, there is a Hashimoto Trading Company from China that wants to open a restaurant. If you provide them with fish, then when you walk around the beach for a long time, people won't be suspicious!"
Then he said seriously: "But then again, your trading company should really be put into operation, otherwise it will not be able to withstand the investigation of the government!"
As they were talking, they arrived at the living room. After Takahashi Senbei introduced both parties, he had dinner served, and then everyone drank and chatted!
At the same time, in the Secret Service Department.
Gu Shenyan was looking at a stack of photos, all of which were photos of Ikeda and Takahashi in the same frame, but these photos did not have any meaning, they were all normal business dealings.
"Knock knock knock!" At this time there was a knock on the door.
Lin Nansheng was standing outside the office. Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, he wanted to fight for it again, so he mustered up his courage and knocked on Gu Shenyan's office door!
"Come in!" Gu Shenyan's voice came from the room.
After Lin Nansheng entered the office, he immediately said:
"Deputy Station Master Gu, I beg you to consider it. I really want to stay!"
Gu Shenyan was already a little impatient with Lin Nansheng who was pestering him, but he still said patiently:
"Let's not talk about this anymore, just follow the orders!"
Lin Nansheng stood upright and said sonorously:
"The reason I joined the army is to serve my country. This is the front line against the islanders. I would rather die here than leave Shanghai!"
"Young people should not be too impulsive and should cherish their lives!" Gu Shenyan could sense Lin Nansheng's passion.
In order not to dampen his enthusiasm, he said again:
“You have to believe that as long as you do your best, you can shine and make contributions to this nation no matter where you are.”
"Follow the orders from your superiors!" Looking at the unmoved Lin Nansheng, Gu Shenyan took out his transfer order and said:
"This is a transfer order. Just take it and report to Jinling!"
Lin Nansheng did not accept the transfer order, but said:
"It will be difficult for Stationmaster Chen to be transferred back!"
Gu Shenyan looked at this stubborn young man and became a little angry, so he said sternly:
“Is this the question you should be asking?”
Lin Nansheng was filled with resentment, and said without hesitation:
"Stationmaster Chen transferred me to Shanghai to investigate the traitor. I also know that he arranged me to be by your side. You must be very uncomfortable!"
Hearing this, Gu Shenyan said expressionlessly:
"what do you want to say"
Lin Nansheng said indignantly: "Deputy Station Master Gu, you want me to leave, right?"
As soon as these words came out, it was almost as if he was pointing at Gu Shenyan's nose and saying, you are a traitor!
“Bang!” Gu Shenyan slammed his palm on the table and said angrily, “How dare you!”
The several photos on the table were blown everywhere by Gu Shenyan's angry aura, and two of them even fell to the ground!
It has to be said that as an excellent underground worker, Gu Shenyan has excellent control over his emotions, so after his anger, Gu Shenyan quickly regained his composure.
Gu Shenyan knew that this person could not continue to stay in the Shanghai Special Agent Office, so he said calmly:
"Lin Nansheng, I order you to hand over your gun!"
At this moment, when Lin Nansheng heard Gu Shenyan asking him to hand over his gun, he felt even more aggrieved and somewhat regretted his impulsiveness just now.
So with his eyes red, he took out his beloved m1911, unloaded the pistol magazine, and put the gun on his desk.
“Report to Jinling tomorrow at the latest!” Gu Shenyan said sternly.
But when Gu Shenyan was speaking, Lin Nansheng noticed the scattered photos on the table and immediately started to think about it.
He knew that Nakajima Trading Company was a spy base of the island country, and the person in charge was Takahashi Senbei in the photo.
According to the information Lin Nansheng had read before, Takahashi was a veteran spy and it was no secret within the station.
As for Eisuke Ikeda, who took a photo with Takahashi Senbei, he heard from the action team that he was the target of the action team's investigation!
Lin Nansheng estimated that there was no chance for Gu Shenyan here, as he would not be able to keep her. However, she might be able to give it a try with Stationmaster Wang.
So Lin Nansheng restrained his expression, went to get the transfer order on the table, and glanced at the two people in the photo again.
Seeing two photos on the ground, he picked them up, took the opportunity to confirm them, and immediately put the photos back on Gu Shenyan's desk.
Lin Nansheng just left without saying a word.
But after leaving, he began to think about it. As long as he kept an eye on Takahashi Senbei, he would be able to find Ikeda Eisuke's residence. Then he could find a way to sneak in and investigate. So Lin Nansheng immediately took action.
At this time, Lin Hao was at Nakajima Trading Company. Under the introduction of Takahashi Senbei, Lin Hao expressed his needs!
However, Eisuke Ikeda did not directly agree to supply Lin Hao's restaurant, but started a conversation with Lin Hao.
Finally, after learning that Lin Hao not only owned a trading company in China, but also opened 5 restaurants, he readily agreed to cooperate with Lin Hao.
"Hashimoto-kun is really a young and promising man! When I was your age, I didn't achieve such great results as you!" Eisuke Ikeda praised.
"Mr. Ikeda is so polite!" Then Lin Hao said to Zuo Qiuming:
"Sekiya-kun, from now on, you will be responsible for connecting with Mr. Ikeda's people to supply the restaurant with ingredients."
"Hi!" Zuo Qiuming then turned around and bowed to Ikeda Eisuke, saying, "Please take care of me in the future, Ikeda-san!"
And Lin Hao also said: "Please! Ikeda-san!"
Eisuke Ikeda also said, "Hashimoto-kun, it's a pleasure to work with you!"
At this time, Takahashi Senbei picked up the cup and said:
“Let’s raise a toast together to celebrate our happy cooperation!”
Afterwards, several people began to talk about the situation on the island. During the conversation, Lin Hao did not deliberately try to get close to Ikeda Eisuke, because he had already obtained the evidence he wanted, so he did not have a strong purpose towards him.
Therefore, both Lin Hao and Zuo Qiuming chatted with them very frankly.
In the end, both the host and the guests had a great time. While pretending to be half drunk and half awake, Lin Hao saw Takahashi Senbei chatting with Zuo Qiuming alone.
Although I didn't hear the content of their conversation, I knew with my heels that according to his plan, Takahashi Senbei was definitely poaching people.
Just as Lin Hao was about to say goodbye and leave, Takahashi Senbei nodded to Ikeda Eisuke. Ikeda Eisuke understood and said to Lin Hao:
"Hashimoto-kun, there will be a Tencho Festival party at my house in two days. Please invite Hashimoto-kun and Sekiya-kun to come!"
As he said that, he handed the three invitations to Lin Hao.
Upon hearing this, Lin Hao happily accepted the invitation and said happily:
"Thank you for your invitation. I will be here on time the day after tomorrow with my family and Guan Gu-kun!"
Afterwards, Zuo Qiuming took Lin Hao and Sayuri and left Nakajima Trading Company. At this time, outside Nakajima Trading Company, Lin Nansheng, who had been monitoring here for a long time, saw Lin Hao and his group leaving, but he did not recognize Lin Hao.
The reason is very simple. Lin Hao's identity is made up. Another reason is that it is not easy to be recognized from a distance.
However, Lin Nansheng still felt that Lin Hao's figure looked familiar, but his attention did not stay on Lin Hao for too long.
Because he was attracted by another figure. This person was too familiar. The impression of their separation was still vivid in his mind. It turned out to be his good friend in the special training class, Zuo Qiuming!
Although I don't know Zuo Qiuming's situation, he must be carrying out some mission, and it is very likely related to Nakajima Trading Company. Maybe I can ask Zuo Qiuming for help.
Lin Nansheng immediately thought that since Zuo Qiuming could enter and exit Nakajima Trading Company, he could ask him about Ikeda Eisuke's situation.
Lin Nansheng was desperate at this point, so without giving it much thought, he quickly drove after him.
What Lin Nansheng didn’t know was that as soon as he followed Zuo Qiuming away, someone returned to Nakajima Trading Company to report to Takahashi Senbei.
"President, our secret sentry just discovered that after Mr. Hashimoto left, it seemed that someone followed him!"
Takahashi Senbei was also puzzled:
"He was followed. Hashimoto is just an ordinary businessman. Why would someone follow him?"
Ikeda Eisuke suspected: "Could it be that this Hashimoto Taro has some other identity?"
Takahashi Senbei said to his men:
"Send someone to follow them immediately and find out what's going on!"
After his men left, Takahashi Senbei said:
"Whether they are tracking Hashimoto or monitoring us, we should be vigilant. When you return, hide the hydrological map and take necessary precautions!"
"Hi~!"
Just when Eisuke Ikeda and Senbei Takahashi were discussing that they were being followed and became more vigilant.
Zuo Qiuming, who was driving, said: "President, it seems someone is following us!"
Sayuri was a little scared when she heard that, and she hugged Lin Hao's arm tightly. Lin Hao patted her back gently to comfort the fertilized little white rabbit.
Then Lin Hao opened the rear curtain of the car and found that there was indeed a car following him, but he thought it was someone sent by Takahashi Senbei.
So he said, "Maybe Takahashi-san is protecting us, but we still have to be careful, as we can't rule out someone else following us."
After taking a look at Sayuri Aso, Zuo Qiuming understood why Lin Hao said that.
But when his car was about to reach home, Lin Hao discovered that there were two groups of people following him.
"Damn it, am I being suspected? It shouldn't be!" Lin Hao frowned and reviewed today's actions. There was nothing revealing.
It seems that tonight's action has to be stopped. I can't go look for Chen Jiaying. I have to wait until midnight to see if they are still there.
Afterwards, Lin Hao asked Xiao Sayuri to go back to her room first, and he went to the basement, where Zuo Qiuming was already waiting for him.
"Captain, there should be two groups of people following us today!" Zuo Qiuming said nervously.
"To be precise, the person who followed us was followed!" Lin Hao was very calm while speaking.
"Could it be that we are being followed by our own people? After all, given our current identities and our proximity to Takahashi Senbei, it seems normal for us to be targeted or followed!"
Then, Zuo Qiuming asked with some doubt: "Just the last wave of followers?"
Lin Hao frowned, he suspected that it was someone in the station.
However, there was too little information available, and Lin Hao could not tell who was following him, so he said:
"It is better to be still than to move. No matter who is following us today, we should not take any action because we are just ordinary island merchants!"
"However, you must be more careful in the future and don't do anything that is inconsistent with your status!"
Zuo Qiuming said: "Don't worry, Captain, I'm just an ordinary worker!"
This topic ended here, Lin Hao thought of the situation at Nakajima Club again.
"How do you feel today? That old Japanese guy is trying to win you over!" Lin Hao said with a smile.
Zuo Qiuming recalled what happened today and replied with a smile:
"Yes, this old guy has been listening to my news. He does intend to win me over, but he didn't explicitly ask me to change jobs!"
Thinking of what Zuo Qiuming might encounter in the future, Lin Hao said cautiously:
"It's not easy to lurk in the enemy camp. Once you are exposed, you should know the consequences without me telling you. As for whether you are lurking under Takahashi's command, my attitude is that I neither support nor oppose it!"
Lin Hao paused for a moment, but didn't say anything final:
"Anyway, I have already paved the way for you! Unless your superiors require it due to actual circumstances, I will not force you!"
Zuo Qiuming knew that Lin Hao was very tolerant of him. If it weren't for their camp, he really wanted to be friends with Lin Hao. However, when it came to dealing with the Japanese, their starting point was the same.
Instead of lurking beside Lin Hao, it is better to lurk beside the common enemy. Although the situation may be more difficult, it will be much more comfortable in the heart. At least you don’t have to bear too much psychological pressure and concern!
Zuo Qiuming was touched: "Captain, you don't have to say it, I still want to~!"
Lin Hao interrupted him and continued: "Listen to me!"
"No matter whether you have lurked in the past or not, my request to you is that you should not force anything and just let things flow!"
"But your mission has not changed. Get close to Takahashi Senbei, become his friend or subordinate, and use his connections in the military to establish relationships with the military!"
"Thank you, Captain!" Zuo Qiuming was deeply grateful.
Zuo Qiuming thought of that old devil Gao Qiao, who had been asking him about sulfa, and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Captain! This is a very simple matter. With your sulfa, not many people would have the courage to refuse!"
Lin Hao also smiled and said: "Okay, I will keep the share of those 20 boxes of sulfa for you!"
"By the way, when you come into contact with that devil Ikeda Eisuke, don't ask him for any information!"
Seeing Zuo Qiuming looking at him doubtfully, Lin Hao thought for a while and said:
"This guy has been targeted by our people, so your secret relationship with him may expose you and cause unnecessary trouble!"
"I understand!" Zuo Qiuming said.
Lin Hao did not tell him that Eisuke Ikeda was close to death, and if he got close to him, he might be implicated.
Although these are plots in the TV series, it is common sense to speculate that the National Government and the Secret Service will definitely let the station kill this guy.
After leaving the basement, Lin Hao checked the situation outside again and saw that they had no intention of leaving.
"trouble!"
