This situation made Lao Hou a little alert and anxious, even if the radio in his hand was known by the Japanese, it didn't matter much, after all, he was a person who had prepared a case in the Japanese Special High School in Stone Town, and his public identity was a peripheral person of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs system secret service stationed in Stone Town.
Therefore, he has a radio station to facilitate communication with the Japanese consulate in Shanghai, and the special high school will most likely not doubt his statement.
But the radio station in Li Yixin's hand was a little hanging, because Lao Hou knew that Li Yixin would contact the Central Unification side from time to time, and sometimes he might often turn on the phone to send and receive telegrams.
So Lao Hou is a little worried that Li Yixin's identity will be exposed because of his frequent use of the radio station.
He decided that as soon as he returned to Stone Town tomorrow morning, he would immediately find a way to inform Li Yixin that the radio station should be used as little as possible or directly shut down during the recent period.
The next morning, when the sky was just dawning, Hu Yongqiang first returned to Stone Town through the checkpoint in the west of the city.
He knew very well that since Lao Hou had gone directly to Baimadu, he might have other confidential missions, so Hu Yongqiang didn't think there was any need for him to inquire about anything.
As for Hu Yongqiang's anxious desire to return to Stone Town, there is another very important factor, that is, he must immediately take stock of the Jianzhong Trading Company's family, after all, it is not a small amount to embezzle 36 'small yellow croakers' from it.
Moreover, Hu Yongqiang judged that Li Yixin would want to come to collect the payment during the day today, so he considered that he had to return to the company to make a change to the account book first, and prayed that Li Yixin would not come to the company to check the accounts recently. 、 When Hu Yongqiang passed by the checkpoint in the west of the city, he also chatted with Gao Hongcheng in the small room next to the checkpoint.
It's just that when Hu Yongqiang passed the checkpoint and entered the city, he keenly noticed that there were many unfamiliar faces around the checkpoint in the west of the city.
The people were divided into several groups and scattered around the level, as if there was some plan.
For this reason, Hu Yongqiang found a public phone booth on the way back to Jianzhong Trading Company and called Gao Hongcheng, who had just broken up with him, and instructed Gao Hongcheng to keep a low profile and remind Gao Hongcheng to pay attention to the movements around the checkpoint.
What Hu Yongqiang didn't expect was that he noticed that the unfamiliar faces near the Chengxi checkpoint were actually people from the newly established Special Investigation and Countermeasures Headquarters of the Japanese, and these people were all Yuan Shiheng's subordinates.
Since Yuan Shiheng led all his subordinates to surrender to the Japanese, there has been no news about the underground organization of the Communist Party Stone Town, and the mysterious sleeper agent seems to have disappeared, which makes Yuan Shiheng, who has no other sources, feel on pins and needles.
He knew very well that the Japanese still needed him, and he still had a little bit of use.
But if the situation continues like this, he has doubts about whether the Japanese will have patience.
So Yuan Shiheng came up with another way, that is, to scatter all his people out and wander around the streets and alleys of Stone Town.
Because these subordinates are all veterans of dealing with the Communist Party, they may find some valuable clues by chance.
That's when Hu Yongqiang noticed that there were so many unfamiliar faces near the checkpoint in the west of the city.
And Gao Hongcheng, who was sitting in the small room next to the checkpoint, still didn't know anything, and after receiving a vague phone call from Hu Yongqiang, Gao Hongcheng couldn't help but think about it a little more.
Could it be that someone is eyeing him that he will send someone to investigate secretly?
Before Gao Hongcheng could figure it out, the phone on his desk rang again, and as soon as he heard that it was Li Yixin's call, Gao Hongcheng asked, "Director, do you have anything to order?"
” Li Yixin on the other end of the phone smiled heartily, and then replied: "Xiao Gao, I have a friend who will bring goods into the checkpoint this morning, his surname is Hou, and the items he brings will not be checked, and you will notify everyone on the checkpoint of my instructions." ” When Lao Hou appeared at the checkpoint in the west of the city with a large suitcase containing a radio station, he specially asked the people at the checkpoint to report to Gao Hongcheng, saying that he was a friend of Director Li.
After Gao Hongcheng received the report from his subordinates, he immediately came out of the room, shook hands with Lao Hou, and then signaled his subordinates at the checkpoint to pass the customs directly without checking the items carried by Lao Hou.
Of course, this situation also attracted the attention of Kong Xianfeng, the special investigation countermeasures headquarters who led the team near the checkpoint, as a veteran Zhongtong spy and Yuan Shiheng's henchman, he felt that something was wrong with Lao Hou, and the large suitcase he was carrying was very heavy, plus he passed the pass and entered the city without being inspected.
Therefore, he quietly gestured to his subordinates, signaling to follow Lao Hou, and stop Lao Hou for inspection at the right time.
After Lao Hou passed the checkpoint and entered the city, he soon found that he was being targeted.
However, he was not false in his heart, because he had an identity recognized by the Japanese special high school, and even if he was found to be carrying a radio station into the city, he would have a reasonable excuse.
When Lao Hou walked across a street and beckoned to call a human-powered tricycle, Kong Xianfeng led people to surround him.
Lao Hou looked at Kong Xianfeng who was blocking him in some surprise, and asked very calmly, "Who are you?"
What are you doing around me?
” Kong Xianfeng stared at Lao Hou very playfully, and said slowly: "It's nothing, we are from the Special Investigation and Countermeasures Headquarters, and we think you are a little suspicious, so we want to check your identity and the items you carry." ” Lao Hou smiled contemptuously and said disdainfully, "Why do you want to check my identity?
I'm sorry, Jean, you're looking for the wrong person!
” Kong Xianfeng didn't expect Lao Hou to have such an attitude, and he was a little sure in his heart.
Because in his opinion, if Lao Hou was an ordinary person, as soon as he heard that he had revealed his identity, he would have been inspected with a smile a long time ago.
But Lao Hou's tough attitude is more like pretense in Kong Xianfeng's eyes, and he doesn't let the inspection show that Lao Hou has a problem!
Therefore, Kong Xianfeng didn't want to talk nonsense at all, so he made a gesture and asked his subordinates to immediately grab Lao Hou's hands, and at the same time snatch the suitcase from Lao Hou's hands.
Soon, Kong Xianfeng's subordinates took out the certificate of good citizenship from Lao Hou's body and handed it to Kong Xianfeng.
Kong Xianfeng opened it and looked at the photos on the certificate of good citizenship, and then looked at the contents, but did not find anything inappropriate.
Then he asked, "What's in this suitcase?"
” Lao Hou struggled a few times and couldn't break free from the control of Kong Xianfeng's men, and calmly warned Kong Xianfeng: "If I were you, leave immediately and don't open this suitcase."
Otherwise, you will suffer serious consequences. ” When Kong Xianfeng heard this, his interest became even stronger, he smiled, and motioned to one of his subordinates to open the suitcase on the spot, ignoring Lao Hou's warning.
