What Li Yixin didn't expect was that the scene of his enthusiastic conversation with Hideki Nomura was stared at by a pair of eyes.
The owner of these eyes is named Ye Longfei, he is a small person in the internal service team of the Anti-Smuggling Investigation Department, and his usual job is to be the custodian of the weapons and ammunition of the anti-smuggling team in the storage department.
Instead of going to work today, he took a leave of absence to pick up his mother at the train station.
His mother used to work as a nanny for a large family in Shanghai, and when Ye Longfei managed to get a government position in Stone Town, he asked people to bring a letter to his mother and let her live in Stone Town.
Ye Longfei is an ambitious person, and since he found a way to bribe Du Rui, he got mixed up as an errand in the anti-smuggling investigation department.
And because of the large amount of bribes asked by Du Rui at that time, Ye Longfei had to scrape together almost all the money on his body and sell some family property.
Originally, Ye Longfei thought that as long as he mixed into the anti-smuggling investigation department, he would be able to eat and drink spicy food, but the final result disappointed him, he was arranged by Du Rui to become a custodian, without any power, he could only get a dead salary, and there was no extra money to make at all.
Seeing the section chiefs and directors of the Anti-Smuggling Investigation Department wantonly accepting money, Ye Longfei's eyes were red.
But he never dared to come forward to denounce it, because he knew that there was once a person in the department who wanted to go to the Japanese to denounce because of his red eyes, and he died violently at home.
And he didn't have any background and didn't dare to come out at all, so he hid his dissatisfaction with Du Rui in his heart, ostensibly in the Anti-Smuggling Investigation Division, but in fact, he has been intentionally or unintentionally inquiring about some secrets in the Anti-Smuggling Investigation Division.
And Ye Longfei's original motive for inquiring about these things was just to use these things to let Du Rui give himself a little benefit, and it was best to really participate in those secret businesses here to get a small piece of the pie.
Originally, the evidence he collected was almost there, but Li Yixin was suddenly parachuted into the Anti-Smuggling Investigation Department as the deputy director, which made Ye Longfei's mentality change.
Because there are rumors in the department that the new Deputy Director Li has a tough backer behind him, it is said that Wen Mian, the provincial chairman, personally sent him to take office.
And Ye Longfei also vaguely heard that there were rumors that the relationship between Wen Mian and Wei Jianping, the current director of the Material Control Investigation Committee, was a little wrong.
Therefore, he began to change his mind and decided to observe the situation in the department first, especially focusing on the new deputy director Li.
Ye Longfei felt that this Deputy Director Li was forcibly placed everywhere to fight for power, but he also knew that Wei Jianping, the director of the Material Control Investigation Committee, also had a very good background, and even did not buy the account of the provincial chairman Wen Mian in private, and he didn't know what the final result of the battle between the two tigers was, so he wanted to take refuge in the side that would win in the end.
But today's scene at the train station surprised Ye Longfei, and the background of Deputy Director Li, who was inconspicuous in the Anti-Smuggling Investigation Department, was really not simple.
Judging from the situation just now, Deputy Director Li not only has the support of the provincial chairman Wen Mian, but also has a Japanese officer as a backer behind him, which Ye Longfei did not expect at all.
And now in Stone Town, no matter how many people with background and backers are stronger than the support of Japanese officers, after all, in fact, in Stone Town, everything is decided by the Japanese, and the Japanese officer is still a young man.
This heavy weight suddenly attracted the ambitious Ye Longfei to the past, and he felt that as long as he could get the favor and trust of this new Deputy Director Li, then he would not only have a little money to take in the future, but might have power in his hands.
And as long as there is power, then the money will not be automatically sent to the door?
Therefore, after coincidentally witnessing the meeting between Li Yixin and Hideki Nomura, Ye Longfei immediately made a decision in his heart, he must get closer to this Deputy Director Li as soon as possible and gain the trust of the other party.
Why as soon as possible?
Although Ye Longfei doesn't read much, he also understands a truth, in the officialdom, you must send charcoal in the snow rather than icing on the cake, and it is best to burn a cold stove.
Now this Deputy Director Li is being squeezed out and suppressed by Du Rui and others, and he doesn't even have a trustworthy person in his hands, even if the anti-smuggling captain Guan Yong is waiting by Deputy Director Li's side at any time, but Ye Longfei knows that Guan Yong is actually the confidant of Director Du Rui.
This time is also the most difficult time for Deputy Director Li, as long as he can get closer to Deputy Director Li and gain trust, there will be a golden avenue in front of him in the future.
Whether it is Director Du Rui or Director Wei Jianping of the Material Control Investigation Committee, they are actually not the opponents of Deputy Director Li, Ye Longfei even suspects that Wei Jianping and Du Rui don't know that there are Japanese people standing behind Deputy Director Li at all, otherwise they would not have squeezed out and suppressed this Deputy Director Li so much.
Of course, this is also the inside story that Ye Longfei thought he was lucky to know, and he decided to keep his mouth shut about this matter and not let anyone know, this is an absolute secret that belongs to his future promotion and fortune.
It's just that now after Ye Longfei learns this secret, the most important thing to consider is how to gain Li Yixin's trust, which is quite crucial.
And it is certainly not easy to gain Li Yixin's trust, so he decided to give Li Yixin the evidence in his hands about Du Rui's smuggling of contraband materials in exchange for this trust.
Of course, Li Yixin, who was smoking a cigarette at the gate of the train station at this time and waiting for Hideki Nomura to come out, had no idea that today's chance encounter with Hideki Nomura would make him attract the attention of a small person.
When Li Yixin patiently smoked the third cigarette, Nomura Hideki finally finished his work and came out, he saw Li Yixin and put his arm around Li Yixin's shoulder, and walked to a restaurant not far from the train station with a smile.
This is actually an intimate move deliberately made by Hideki Nomura, and the greed for money in his heart makes him attach great importance to Li Yixin.
Since the last time he had dinner with Shinnosuke Murakami with Li Yixin, he has not had time to meet with Li Yixin, and it is not clear what position Shinnosuke Murakami finally gave Li Yixin a position in the Huangshan Provincial Government.
Therefore, he did not miss this opportunity after meeting Li Yixin at the train station today, and insisted on inviting Li Yixin to have dinner together, and by the way, he talked about Li Yixin's recent situation.
There are not many big restaurants near the train station, more of a few small restaurants.
And when Hideki Nomura, who was wearing the uniform of the Japanese army, and Li Yixin walked into a small restaurant together, the originally noisy restaurant suddenly quieted down.
No matter what the people in the restaurant thought about the Japanese army, Nomura Hideki's status as a Japanese officer did have some deterrent effect, and all the diners were silent, hurriedly bowing their heads to eat, and they didn't even have the courage to look up and continue to look at Nomura.
