Chapter 97.
Four or five kinds of gifts, the old man’s pipe is the cheapest, followed by Parker pens, the most expensive when it comes to the necklace bought for Su Moer.
Sister earrings with emerald bracelet equivalent, at least at the moment this emerald is unlikely to be B goods, and this Xianshi Department Store can not smash their own signboard.
Small two thousand dollars spent out, even if you give a 20% discount, when checking out, also paid more than one thousand five hundred dollars.
Things he did not take away.
Directly stored in the first Shi department store safe, so many things, he carried in the hand is not convenient, two, if you go back to work, that was recognized, but also not good.
He still understands the principle of not revealing one’s wealth.
Of course, he also has a purpose, that is, with all these things, how can he counter track?
He saw that the Nittoku who followed him also came in to Sincere Department Store and followed him all the way to several counters ……
So, he had a discussion with the manager of the Sincere Department Store and created the illusion that he had already left.
As expected.
This guy thought he lost, directly intended to go back to the old gate arrest house squatting, and saw the Cheng Mo bicycle is not in the old gate arrest house entrance car shed.
With his head down, he quickly passed through the gate of the old gatehouse.
Cheng Mo, on the other hand, had changed into an ordinary robe and cotton jacket that he had just gotten from Xianshi Department Store, and was wearing a gray fluffy felt hat.
On his feet was a pair of rubber-soled cotton shoes, with his hands together and his head lowered as he walked down the street, the image of an ordinary marketplace peddler was unmistakable.
This guy probably didn’t think that he would be counter tracked, so along the way, he actually didn’t notice Cheng Mo’s presence.
Of course, Cheng Mo’s tracking technique wasn’t bad, moreover, his eyesight was much stronger, so under pulling away from a longer distance.
It kept locking on.
This guy didn’t leave the rented area right away, but first went to the vicinity of his home on Seymour Road, actually wanting to squat over there to watch himself come back.
Cheng Mo naturally would not give him this opportunity.
He stayed with him until dark, and when he saw that Cheng Mo hadn’t come back, the guy hesitated for a while, and didn’t seem to want to squat any longer.
Only then did he walk back along the road he came from.
The people on the street were already quite sparse, if it wasn’t for Cheng Mo’s eyes being able to see at night, he was able to maintain a very long distance while remaining undetected by the other party.
Otherwise, even if he wasn’t lost, he would have been easily spotted.
In the end, Cheng Mo saw this guy enter the Hartung building on Nanjing Road with his own eyes, he also squatted outside for half an hour, the person didn’t come out again, and it was only at this time that he realized where the Nittoku that was following him was coming from.
Inoue Public House!
In addition to the Hongkou Tiantong Road Inoue public house, retired Japanese ronin, the Black Dragon Society molecules Inoue Nichiaki also registered in the Hartung Building, a company called “Tongyuan Foreign Bank”.
In the name of trade to spy on the matter of intelligence.
Self-examination, he did not have any interactions with the Inoue Public House, how he stared at himself? It’s better when you know who you’re dealing with.
The unknown opponent is the scary one.
In the manager’s office of the Tong Yuan Foreign Bank, Inoue Taro was on the phone, reporting to Inoue Nichiaki on the situation from the time he was dumped by Cheng Mo at the Sincere Department Store to the time he traveled to Seymour to squat at Cheng Mo’s residence and came up empty-handed.
Theoretically, it was quite normal to be discovered for stalking, especially for several consecutive days, and it was not surprising that Cheng Mo, who was an inspector of the Police Department of the Bureau of Public Works, had noticed something.
However, Cheng Mo’s past, obviously did not experience training in this area, but it could not be ruled out before he went to Japan to study.
“Taro, could it be that you followed him too closely and he found out?”
“Righteous father, I don’t know, he just disappeared right under my nose without warning ……”
“You’ll go back to the old gate constable’s house tomorrow to squat, if he’s riding a bicycle to work, then that means that you just lost him and haven’t been exposed yet.” Inoue Nichiaki said, “If not, then there’s no need to follow him anymore, come back right away.”
“Hi.”
“Happy New Year, Old Miao.” Cheng Mo knocked on the door of Lao Miao’s grocery store, directly squeezed in, rubbed his hands together and said, “Is there any alcohol, make some?”
“Lao Liu, why are you like this, have been robbed?”
“Who robbed me to leave such a body?” Cheng Mo did not have a good temper, his own clothes and shoes and hats are in the first Shi Department Store, however, at the moment should be in the Sheng Chao side, he was on the way to counter-tracking the Rieter, the old gate constable made a phone call, let him go to obtain for himself.
Along with it, he was told to ride back with the bicycle he had hidden, and to bring it to him in the morning.
“What’s the matter?”
“Being targeted, there’s no way but to have a counter tracking, first I have to determine where the other party is coming from, otherwise, I wouldn’t dare to come here.” Cheng Mo explained lightly.
“Is the problem serious?”
“Fortunately, nothing major, I can solve it.” Cheng Mo sat down and took a sip of hot water from Lao Miao.
“Do you need help from the brothers?”
“No need for now.” Cheng Mo shook his head, “Does Blue Shirt have a secret message?”
“Yes, I copied and received one last night, gave it to Lao San and asked him to pass it to you, I guess I didn’t find you people.” Lao Miao said. “Well, I wasn’t home last night, and I didn’t get a chance to meet up with him today, do you have a backup, show me?”
Lao Miao nodded and fetched the message, Cheng Mo took a look at it and threw it directly into the charcoal fire pot.
The content of the message, apart from the New Year greetings, was for him to use the benefit of his identity to collect the movements of the people involved in the Concession.
Mainly some of the people who disagreed with the old man in the past and lived in the rented area, whether these people have contact with the Japanese, or under the spell of the Japanese, to participate in the situation of the traitor organization.
This is the basic task.
Nothing new.
“Old Miao, what time is the contact today?”
“The appointment is eleven-thirty at night.”
“I’ll stay at your place tonight and leave early tomorrow morning.” Cheng Mo nodded, Su Muer was really inconvenient, so he had to do the preliminary work himself.
It seems that the matter of him getting married to Su Mo’er must be accelerated, otherwise, this work would be hard to start, and it would be really difficult for him to juggle.
“That’s a good feeling, our brother and I can still drink some ……”
“How much did they drink at your place yesterday?” Cheng Mo asked.
“Not much, five people drank less than two pounds.” Lao Miao said as he opened the table and put the food and wine on the table.
“Third Brother is also here?”
“The first one to go back if he’s here, the one with a wife, can go back later, but not without returning.” Lao Miao said.
“I really couldn’t help it yesterday, in fact, I also want to observe the New Year with my brothers.”
“We can understand, you and Lao San are different from us, both have families, can’t stay with four old bachelors.” Lao Miao smiled and fetched the wine, there was still half a bottle left, it should be leftover from drinking.
“The brothers of the lonely army camp, I entrusted my sister to secretly get them some New Year s goods, as for the others, our current identity, it is not suitable to meet with them again, and we even have to avoid it to be able to do it, especially Lao Wu and Dachun, they are considered to be dead …… New Year s Eve, do not talk about this, Lao Miao, go One!”
“Old Six, a few of us, if it weren’t for you, we might have also been stranded in the lone army camp, where would we have the days we have now.” Lao Miao let out a sigh of relief.
Because of the night to send a telegram, Cheng Mo did not dare to drink too much, two people half a catty of wine, almost, and then with Lao Miao to understand the situation of the old Wu three people.
After all, after the assassination of Lu Hong, Cheng Mo in addition to the third brother Shen Mo and Lao Miao, the other three meet only once or twice, and each time is very hurried, it is too late to understand the situation in detail.
The second brother Lao Wu is in the training camp of the judicial arrest room, and is expected to become a trainee inspector soon, and Kui Zi is working as a trainee inspector in the arrest room of the Jing’an Temple, following an inspector surnamed Pan ……
Dachun continues to apprentice at Hongda Auto Repair Factory, because he is educated, smart and learns quickly, and is already able to handle some simple repair work on his own.
In just over a month, everyone’s encounters have changed drastically and have grown.
Including Lao Miao, who was now forcing himself to learn the skills of sending and receiving telegrams, taking photographs, disguising himself in civilian clothes, and driving, although he didn’t see the need to use them now, just in case.
Of course, all of these skills are also required by Cheng Mo, because if you don’t know how to do this, once the mission needs to be carried out, and you don’t know how to do it, not only will you not be able to participate, but you will also be dragging your feet.
Eleven thirty, right on time.
“Darkfire to Blue Spruce, Darkfire to Blue Spruce ……”
Although he knew that someone within the National Government was secretly contacting and liaising with the Japanese, he was unable to report the situation to Dai Yunong.
Because he couldn’t explain the source of the intelligence, it was the Ramza team’s intelligence, moreover, these people were in secret contact with the Japanese, which also had the old man’s authorization.
Essentially that Mr. Chiang, like President Wang, also fantasized about making peace with Japan, but the conditions proposed by Japan made it unacceptable to him.
Routine report only.
It did not take long, Cheng Mo received a call back from Dai Yunong, just four words: “Call, have noted.”
Cheng Mo breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, he was really afraid of Dai Yunong to give him any task, no task, in fact, is the best task.
The main task of the “Dark Fire” team is to lurk and infiltrate, not for the present, but for the future, rather than the sensational “kidnapping” and “assassination” that is now taking place in Shanghai.
At four or five o’clock in the morning, Cheng Mo woke up, got up, said to Lao Miao, and left, when he returned home, the sky is not yet bright.
His appointment with Liang was to have the bicycle and clothes delivered to his home at six o’clock.
This was actually a small test for him.
Cheng Mo returned home, shaved and then washed up, and at almost six o’clock he heard a knock on the door.
Opening the door, it was indeed Ah Liang who came.
Cheng Mo praised him a bit, then gave him a dollar and told him to go get himself some breakfast, then take the tram to go to work at the arrest house first.
Cheng Mo changed his clothes at home and waited until seven o’clock before he left the house, as this was the time he left for work every day.
The moment he pushed his bicycle out the door, out of the corner of his eye he saw a familiar back figure flashing at the entrance of the alley.
Cheng Mo just treated it as if he didn’t see it, this guy should be curious to know if it was an accident that he was dumped yesterday, or if he was found out on his own, on purpose.
Since we know the other side of the origin, Cheng Mo heart also have a number, since they are so interested in themselves, then let them know that they want to let them “know” this is enough.
I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to do this, but I’m going to be able to do it!
