Chapter 216 Only half, keep working hard
The ecstasy in Yoko Minami's heart at this moment really proved the saying: No matter how hard you try, you still can't find it, but when you get it, it's effortless!
"Go on, tell me all your information! Don't be like toothpaste, my patience is limited~!"

Taniguchi Ogura immediately said, "Yes! I received a signal this morning and turned on the radio to receive instructions!"

Minamida Yoko immediately asked for the contact information, trying to find clues about the Military Control Commission:

"Who informed you, and how did they send you the signal?"

Taniguchi Ogura shook his head and said, "It was a call from an unknown number. After connecting the code, he told me to go and receive the goods immediately!"

"This codeword means an order for me to turn on the radio!"

Yoko Minami shook her head. It was impossible to check in this way. Apart from anything else, the public phones on the street were enough to give her a headache.

So he asked unhappily: "Keep talking! What instructions did you receive?"

Liu Daxing saw that Nan Tian Yoko was unhappy and said:
"They asked me to escort someone to the dock tomorrow morning, passing through Shanghu to the Third War Zone!"

"Then how do you know that this person has the code book?" asked Yoko Minami.

At this time, Taniguchi Ogura smiled confidently and said:

"The Military Control Commission has done a very good job of keeping secrets, but I received news thirteen days ago that the code book had been dispatched the day before, and there has been no further news about the operational code book since then."

"It wasn't until today that I received an order to pick someone up at the dock tomorrow morning, and the destination happened to be the Third War Zone. I immediately realized that it must be the code book!"

"Because judging from the time, it takes about fifteen days to get from Shancheng to Shanghai by boat, and the departure time of the code book is exactly fifteen days ago, so everything is self-evident!"

Nantian Yoko couldn't help but admire the Chinese people like Jun Tong!
If Taniguchi Ogura had not been a member of the Empire, the Military Control Commission's code book would never have been discovered.

It should have taken only five days to escort the code book, but the Military Intelligence Bureau took fifteen days and unknowingly delivered the code book to Shanghai.

Who could have thought that the Military Control Commission would adopt this most inefficient method of transportation and perfectly create a time difference.

No wonder, during this period, neither the Special High Section nor Unit 76 could find any trace of the code book!
Then, Minami Yoko asked Wang Manchun to come in and instructed:

"From now on, anyone who tries to inquire about or approach Liu Daxing will be arrested on the spot, no matter why!"

"Yes!" Wang Manchun said immediately.

Afterwards, Yoko Minami immediately went to the gendarmerie headquarters, found Yoshimasa Fujita, and recounted the matter of the code book.

Finally, Minamida Yoko said with a smile:

"The Military Control Commission never dreamed that despite all their precautions against the Special High Police, they would eventually fall victim to agents from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and then we captured them!"

Upon hearing this, Fujita Yoshimasa also said happily:

"Hahaha! Well done, Minami-chan. This time the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has helped us. We absolutely cannot let go of this great opportunity!"

Minamida Yoko then asked, "Yoko understands, but what should we do with that Taniguchi Kokura?"

"If the Ministry of Foreign Affairs investigates, we will be in trouble!"

After a moment of silence, Fujita Yoshimasa said, "Let him cooperate with us to get the code book first.

"What about the rest?" At this point, Fujita Yoshimasa's eyes turned cold and he said fiercely: "Find a beautiful place and deal with it!"

Yoko Minamida's heart shuddered and she lowered her head even lower. In fact, she had already expected her teacher's style of doing things.

However, Yoko Minami felt that her teacher was a little too cruel. After all, Taniguchi was also contributing to the empire!

As if he knew what Minamida Yoko was thinking, Fujita Yoshimasa said:

"You don't have to think so much. We are all members of the Empire's intelligence department and we are all making contributions to the Empire. But there is no need for us to hand over our evidence to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!"

"What you should consider now is how to obtain their combat code book without alerting that person. This is what we urgently need to do!"

Minamida Yoko shook her head and said, "It's too difficult. According to the information provided by Taniguchi Ogura, the person who escorted the code book will arrive at the dock tomorrow."

"It's obvious that the Military Control Commission's people are just passing through Shanghai and will hardly stay here."

"That means we don't have time to get the code book, and even our people might be discovered if they get close!"

Fujita Yoshimasa looked at Minami Yoko and said:

"This is what you should consider. You must get the combat code book before that Military Control Commissioner leaves Shanghai!"

"Yes! Student will arrange it right away!" Yoko Minami said solemnly.

Then Yoko Minami returned to No. 76, found Wang Manchun, and told her about obtaining the code book.

There was no way out. Yoshimasa Fujita was pressing too hard, and Yoko Minami didn't have many people she could use, so she could only ask Wang Manchun, who seemed to be loyal, to help!

Of course, Yoko Minami did not tell her the entire plan, but only asked Wang Manchun to find a way to obtain the code book without alerting that person!
Zhang Li couldn't help but think of what Lin Hao had told him in the morning. He didn't expect that he had predicted it again.

So Zhang Li confidently gave Nantian Yoko some advice:

"It's very simple! Just don't let him leave Shanghu smoothly!"

Minamida Yoko thought they were going to arrest people directly, so she frowned and said:

"You mean forcible arrest?"

"That won't work. If the person who delivered the code book is arrested, the Military Control Commission will definitely discard it. Then even if we get the code book, it will be meaningless!"

Zhang Li heard this and realized that he had not explained it clearly and caused Nan Tian Yangzi to misunderstand, so he immediately explained:

"No, what I mean is to block the original plan of the Military Control Commission!"

"For example, the Military Control Commission that is delivering the code book will arrive at the dock tomorrow morning. So we can ask the Navy to help intercept and inspect the ships along the river today, such as to crack down on smuggling or something. Anyway, as long as we have an excuse, it will be fine!"

"For example, we can time it according to the situation. After Liu Daxing picks up the person, we can stage an assassination attempt on an island country officer in the city, and then blockade and search the entire city!"

"Both methods can delay their action plan. If done properly, this person will definitely be able to spend the night in Shanghai!"

"This way, we have one night to get the code book!"

When Yoko Minami heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up. This was definitely the best way at the moment. Without arresting the Military Control Commissioner, they could gain a whole night!
Then Minami Yoko said with a smile on her face:
"You are truly the most loyal friend of the Empire! If this succeeds, I will definitely commend you for your achievements. I will never treat the Empire's friends unfairly!"

"It is my greatest honor to work for Section Chief Nan Tian!" Zhang Li also said flatteringly. Then the two of them released Liu Daxing, explained the task for tomorrow morning, and sent him back to his residence.

next day
In the end, Yoko Minami did not use the method of intercepting the warship to delay the arrival of the code book, but instead adopted the second method to keep the code book within her visual range.

At the Shilipu Wharf, Wang Tianfeng's assistant Guo Qiyu, carrying a small suitcase in his hand, immediately spotted Liu Daxing who came to pick him up.

After the two men completed the meeting, they went to Liu Daxing's residence. However, as soon as they entered Liu Daxing's house, Wang Manchun blocked several nearby blocks on the grounds of arresting an important leader of the Red Party.

At this time, Guo Qiyu was sitting in Liu Daxing's house and asked seriously:

"What the hell is going on? Why is this area blocked as soon as I get here?"

"No, I must contact my superiors immediately~!" Guo Qiyu said firmly at this time.

At this moment, Liu Daxing was very anxious and hurriedly stopped him:
"No, I've been here for a few months and I often see Japanese people driving listening cars around. For an operation like today, there must be listening cars nearby. As long as the radio is used, it will be locked immediately!"

Guo Qiyun sighed and asked, "Could it be that we have been exposed?"

As Guo Qiyu spoke, he touched his belt when Liu Daxing looked at him.

Liu Daxing naturally also saw the movement of Guo Qiyu's belt, but his attention at this time was still on the suitcase.

After hearing Guo Qiyun's question, he quickly said:
"It shouldn't be. I just asked around at the door and heard that they were arresting an important leader of the Red Party. It shouldn't have anything to do with us."

Guo Qiyun frowned and said worriedly:

"I hope so. I wouldn't have come here earlier. It would be better to find a hotel or hostel than to be trapped here!"

Liu Daxing persuaded: "Don't worry, this is still a public concession after all. Even if the islanders blockade it, it won't last too long!"

Guo Qiyun looked outside at Agent No. 76 who was searching everywhere, and said helplessly:
"It seems we can only wait for them to leave, but as long as No. 76 retreats, we will set off overnight!"

"No problem. I'm already familiar with Shanghai!" Liu Daxing said.

Then he walked to the window, opened it slightly, and threw out a ball of paper.

Time passed by little by little, and at this time Guo Qiyu was like an ant on the edge of a pot, looking anxious!
"Don't worry! Nothing will happen!" Liu Daxing comforted. (“)“(︿)
As time came to night, although the people in No. 76 had already evacuated, Liu Daxing, who had just come in from outside, told Guo Qiyu that they could not leave for the time being.

Because there are checkpoints at all the entrances and exits of Shanghai at this time, if you go out now, you will probably be exposed, and you can only wait until tomorrow morning to leave!
It was late at night and Liu Daxing looked at Guo Qiyu, who was already fast asleep in bed.

But to be on the safe side, they still sprayed some drowsiness drug on the tip of Guo Qiyu's nose.

Afterwards, Wang Manchun and Minami Yoko came in at the same time. Without saying a word, the three of them started searching Guo Qiyu's suitcase.

However, after twenty minutes, the three still found nothing, and Minami Yoko said to Liu Daxing with a bad look:

"Where's the code book? Why can't I find it?"

Liu Daxing was sweating profusely at this time, and he didn't know why he couldn't find it. He had clearly tried to find out indirectly before, so he was sure that Guo Qiyu was here to deliver the code book!
Suddenly, he remembered that Guo Qiyu had a habit of touching his belt subconsciously, so he quickly stepped forward and said:

"I figured it out. It's the belt. It must be hidden in the belt!"

Then he started searching Guo Qiyu's belt, and Zhang Li on the side breathed a sigh of relief. She was about to go and help in person, but luckily Liu Daxing found the right place!
If she revealed the location of the code book, she might be suspected, so she tried to stay out of the spotlight.

"Found it!" Liu Daxing shouted excitedly, "This guy hid the code book in his belt buckle!"

At this time, Minami Yoko hurried forward, took the microfilm in her hand, looked at it, and then said:

"Director Wang, come with me to No. 76 and make a copy of the film as soon as possible!"

"Okay!" Then he and Yoko Minami drove quickly back to No. 76 to prepare to copy the code book.

An hour later, the film was returned to its owner. The three of them spent another hour putting all the items back to their original places, leaving no trace of any having been moved.

Afterwards, Yoko Minami came to the gendarmerie headquarters with great interest and entered the office of Yoshimasa Fujita.

After Yoshimasa Fujita learned that the code book was in his hands, he brought Yoko Minami to Commander Senbei Takahashi's office.

As soon as she entered the room, Minamida Yoko stood at attention and shouted, "Hello, Commander Takahashi!"

"Did Section Chief Minami gain anything today?" Takahashi asked seriously.

Minamida Yoko knew that Takahashi was talking about the Third War Zone code book, so she immediately reported:
"The code book has been obtained without alerting the other party!"

As he said this, he placed the copied code book film on the office desk.

Takahashi took the film in his hand, looked at it and said, "Not bad, but it's a pity that I only got one copy!"

At this time, Minamida Yoko was confused and asked in confusion: "Is there more than one code book?"

Takahashi Senbei nodded and said, "Yes! According to the latest information I just received, there are actually two copies of the combat code book!"

"Both copies of the codebook are genuine, but they serve as backups for each other. Strictly speaking, they should serve as barriers for each other, because if any one of the codebooks is intercepted, the other one will be immediately invalidated!"

Takahashi Senbei was very fortunate to have Sekiya Yukisa in his pocket. Sure enough, in just a few months, Yukisa's agency had planted agents in Yamashiro and let them learn about the code book.

But Minamida Yoko was unwilling to accept that after working so hard for two days, she only completed half of the task, so she immediately asked:
"Commander, where is the other code book?"

"Takahashi Senbei said with a smile: "Tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock, take the plane from Hong Kong to Shanghai!"

next day
When Guo Qiyu woke up in the morning, he felt a little uncomfortable in his head and immediately understood what was going on.

He subconsciously touched his belt, and it looked exactly the same as before, but in fact, the hair that had been pressing on it before he went to bed was gone, so he knew that his mission was accomplished!

Then he gently patted Liu Daxing next to him, woke him up, and said:

"Hurry up and get up and take me to Shanghai. We don't have much time!"

"Okay, I'll get up right away!" Liu Daxing said hurriedly after waking up.

After all, I worked most of the night and finally completed the task. I was so relaxed that I slept very comfortably!

Afterwards, Liu Daxing safely sent Guo Qiyu out to Shanghai.

At the same time, the plane from Hong Kong to Shanghai has landed!
