Lao Ma's family said that Lao Ma went to the casino early this morning, and before leaving, he was still talking about the hope that he could meet the gambler from yesterday so that he could compete with him.

The manager knows that Lao Ma doesn't care much about money anymore at this age, and Mr. Luo gives him a lot of commission every year. All he cares about is winning or losing, or in other words, reputation, so it is inevitable that he will feel peace and harmony in his heart.

The young man had the idea of ​​giving it another try.

Lao Ma's home is not far from the gambling house. He usually comes to the gambling house in a rickshaw, but now he immediately ordered people to ask the rickshaw pullers. This question really revealed something.

According to a driver's account, Lao Ma did indeed get out of the house in his car around 7:30 in the morning. He was originally going to go directly to the gambling house, but later for some unknown reason, Lao Ma asked him to stop in the middle and walked on by himself.

.

The coachman recalled that the old horse seemed to have seen someone familiar, so he got off the bus midway. The whole process was very sudden.

This person may not be an acquaintance, but someone who interests Lao Ma very much, and the appearance of this person should also be an accident, so Fang now looks at the steward.

The steward quickly said: "Sir, Mr. Luo hired Mr. Luo from Guangzhou. He has no acquaintances locally. You also know what we do here. Those gamblers are anxious and want to kiss him."

Father, mother, wife and children can all be put on the gambling table. I try not to have any contact with them outside the gambling house, so as not to get into trouble."

Fang Jin nodded. In this case, the person Lao Ma met was probably the young man who showed up at the gambling house yesterday and killed everyone.

The sudden change of route on the way to the gambling house must have something to do with this person.

These people kill without blinking an eye. In order to cover up their whereabouts and identity, they are very likely to kill Lao Ma. So Lao Ma is very likely to be in danger.

After Fang Jin asked where Lao Ma got off the bus, Ji Chenglin quickly said: "Captain, there seems to be a Jiuweizhai branch there."

"Huh?" This further confirmed that the person Lao Ma met was more likely to be that young man.

Fang now had a hint of joy on his face, even the most cunning fox would show its tail. After all, this was Lincheng, the home of the Lincheng Military Intelligence Station. The Japanese spies who had shown their faces probably did not expect that they would be recognized in the market.

come out.

He immediately ordered Ji Chenglin to send people to visit the pastry shop and the place where Lao Ma got off the bus.

At the same time, the stewards and clerks of the gambling house were also mobilized. They were people who had met the young man. If they met again, they would be very likely to recognize him.

Naturally, the stewards and clerks did not dare to neglect, so they started to mobilize one after another.

Soon, dozens of people dispersed.

Fang now asked Haitang and others not to leave the casino without permission for the next few days and to be there whenever called. Haitang naturally agreed.

While Fang is now deploying manpower to find the young man who appeared in the casino, the target has already returned to Apartment No. 52 in Zhanongkou.

Fang now guessed correctly, this person was a Japanese spy who belonged to the probe team, named Keisuke Nakajima.

"Nakajima-kun, how is the matter?" Inaba Masao asked in a deep voice.

"Team leader, please rest assured that the guy at the bathhouse has been dealt with. The scene is very clean and will not leave any traces."

After Nakajima Keisuke sneaked into Yuqing Pond and stabbed Hou Hongliang to death last night, he did not come directly to join Inaba Masao, but took a temporary rest at another stop.

"We must not be careless. Our opponents are much more capable than imagined." Masao Inaba reminded, "The action will begin tonight, and we must not make any mistakes before then."

"Hai, I understand your humble position!" Keisuke Nakajima nodded heavily.

"What about the gambling house?"

"Team leader, please rest assured that everything is going according to plan."

Inaba Masao then nodded with satisfaction: "That's good. I hope everything goes well. After tonight, we can temporarily report to the Section Chief."

Nakajima Keisuke also looked happy when he heard this. Since coming to Shanghai, dragged down by Miura Kazuichi, the whole group has been very depressed, especially when Jiro Ikeda, Yoshitaku Kimura and others were publicly executed, and Takao Shimizu and What happened to Saburo Kato was a big blow to every member of the team.

If the team leader's plan can be completed smoothly, everyone can indeed breathe a sigh of relief for a while.

Inaba Masao suddenly remembered something and asked: "Nakajima-kun, you seem to have arrived a little later than scheduled. Did something happen on the way?"

He was very thoughtful, and Nakajima Keisuke was only ten minutes late than scheduled.

Keisuke Nakajima did not dare to look at the team leader: "I met a person on the road, but I successfully got rid of him."

"What's going on?" Inaba Masao asked with a cold look in his eyes.

"I was betting against an old man in a casino yesterday. He was a casino visitor. I don't know what happened. He suddenly met me on the street and followed me for a while. I dumped him."

Keisuke Nakajima did not tell the truth completely. In fact, the whole process was not that simple. He did dump the old horse in the end, but before that, the two met and exchanged a few words.

However, if Inaba Masao knew about it, he might become paranoid again, and his small flaws in handling this matter would affect the entire operation, which would be bad.

Therefore, on the way to the safe house, Nakajima Keisuke made up his mind to downplay the matter.

"Nakajima-kun, are you sure?" Inaba Masaru stared at him. He had put a lot of energy and thought into tonight's plan and there was absolutely no room for mistakes.

"Hai, my humble position is confirmed!" Nakajima Keisuke looked calm and composed on the surface, but secretly beating drums in his heart.

Just when Inaba Masao continued to ask questions, the door opened, and Yanagida Yushi suddenly walked in: "Team leader, I have an important report!"

"Oh?" Inaba Masao saw Yanagita Yushi's serious expression and knew something had happened, so he waved to Nakajima Keisuke and said, "You go down first!"

"Hai!" The big stone hanging in Nakajima Keisuke's heart finally fell to the ground. If Inaba Masao continues to ask, it is inevitable that he will be exposed.

Inside the house, Inaba Masao asked: "Yagita-kun, what happened?"

"When I went to Fuyi Warehouse to inquire about information, I heard them say that a batch of goods was suddenly shipped into the warehouse last night."

Inaba Masao was puzzled: "Warehouses are meant to store goods. Is there anything strange about goods being transported?"

"Bizhong felt that this incident was very sudden."

"What did Kamata-kun say?" This is when Kamata, the inside player, should come into play.

"I didn't find him at the time."

Inaba Masao's heart skipped a beat. Kamada was their insider in the Xia family's warehouse. He was usually responsible for collecting intelligence and providing support during operations. If something happened to this person, the entire operation would fall short.

Therefore, when arranging this internal response, Inaba Masao thought carefully.

Kamada is an ordinary-looking person with no characteristics that can leave a deep impression on others. He is the kind of person who would not be found in a crowd.

The most important thing is that this person is very calm in his work, which meets Inaba Masao's requirements.

Yanagita Yushi also noticed the team leader's worries and hurriedly said: "Team leader, at first I thought something happened to Kamata, but later I found out that he was sent out to purchase supplies."

"oh?"

Inaba Masao began to wonder. Buying supplies was not something ordinary people could do. Not only could they go out to relax, but there might also be money to be made. Therefore, most of the people who could buy supplies were close confidants.

"Kamada-kun, you also know that people who usually don't hum or laugh are, in Chinese terms, said to be unable to fart with three sticks. Such people are the easiest to win the trust of others. Later, I met him,

He said that those goods were indeed delivered at short notice and seemed to be originally destined for

It's from Jiangxi, but the owner of the cargo has not ordered a freight vehicle and can only store it in Lincheng for the time being, so he rented the Xia family's warehouse. I have verified this situation. The boss's surname is Liu, who is also a native of Lincheng.

The relationship is not bad, I guess it will be difficult for someone named Xia to refuse."

It turns out that this is the case. Yanagida Yushi can feel at ease when doing things. Since the situation has been verified, there will be no problems.

"Did Kamata-kun say anything else? Have you been to the core reservoir area?"

"Not yet. The other party's guards are very tight and no one is allowed to enter the core reservoir area."

"Hmph, the more this happens, the more it proves that the explosives stored in the warehouse are the explosives we worked so hard to transport from Shanghai." Masao Inaba clenched his fists and hit the table hard, knocking over his own tea cup.

, with a strange look in his eyes

Cai said with great excitement, "As long as tonight is over, everything will be a new beginning! Yanagida-kun, this grand fireworks show will become a special welcome ceremony we have prepared for Mr. Consultant. I believe him

You will definitely be very happy!”

Yanagita Yushi is also full of confidence. He is as excited as the team leader. It would be best to have a good turnaround before the consultant comes.

Inaba Masao began to pace around the room. It could be seen that he was emotionally agitated and needed time to calm down. Yanagita Yushi stood aside with his hands down.

About a minute later, Inaba Masao seemed to think of something again and stopped. He stopped and waved to Yanagida Yushi.

At this time, Yanagida Yushi felt that Inaba Masao's body exuded a very strong cold air, which was so chilling that he secretly shuddered.

He walked tremblingly to Inaba Masao and stammered uncontrollably: "Team...Team Leader...what's the matter?"

Inaba Masao didn't answer, turned around and sat down on the chair suddenly, and then said: "Is there any news from Miyasaka-kun? Hasn't he been sending people to keep an eye on the people at the Lincheng Military Intelligence Station? Is there anything there?

Is there any trouble?"

Yanagida Yuzhi said: "Everything is normal at Xinglongxuan Teahouse. He did not go to contact our people. But..."

"Speak directly if you have something to say, no need to hesitate like this."

"Hai! Xinglongxuan Teahouse will close at night. If Miyasaka-kun has an emergency at that time, how should you contact us?"

The operation is planned to be carried out at night, so there is a gap in between.

Inaba Masao waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about this. We are staring at Lincheng Station and at the Xia Family Warehouse. There is nothing abnormal in both places now. This means that the other party has not noticed our intention. Otherwise,

, with so many explosives placed in the Xia family's warehouse, how could they not be nervous?"

Yushi Yanagida thought that this was indeed the case. The power of this batch of explosives was too great. Once the Chinese intelligence agency noticed an abnormality, they should take immediate measures.

"Team leader, where are the people we left at Xinglongxuan Tea House?"

"Let him withdraw, after all, we need people here too!"

"Hai!"

"Also, we will move this afternoon. We can't stay here any longer."

"clear."
Chapter completed!
