In Shanghai, in the heart of the bustling old city of Nanshi on Guomin Road, there is an inconspicuous Shikumen house on the second floor.
This is the secret residence that Wu Zhiguo purchased after becoming deputy director, and he has not moved out even now that he has become director.
Inside, the room was brightly lit. Li Xian sat at the octagonal table, with two young disciples of the Swallow Sect standing solemnly behind him, their eyes scanning the window and doorway warily.
Wu Zhiguo respectfully poured freshly brewed Longjing tea for his master and fellow disciples. The aroma of the tea wafted through the air, but it couldn't dispel the heavy atmosphere.
"Master, this is where I live. Please rest assured and stay here. Tomorrow I will find a few more servants to take care of you so you can enjoy your life here in peace. This will also allow me to fulfill my filial duty that I have not been able to do for many years," Wu Zhiguo said with great joy.
Li Xian picked up his teacup, blew on it to cool it, but didn't drink it. Instead, he looked up at Wu Zhiguo, his brows furrowing slightly: "Little Zhi, let's not talk about that now. Where is your thirteenth martial uncle?"
He should have jumped out long ago upon hearing I was coming, so why is he still nowhere to be seen?
Mentioning Liu Shisan made Wu Zhiguo's face even more awkward. He rubbed his hands together and sighed, "Master, please don't mention it... Uncle Shisan... sigh! He's gone."
"Gone? Where did they go?" Li Xian put down his teacup, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
"Here's what happened..." Wu Zhiguo explained how Inukai Gakufu deduced that the Kuomintang's emails were likely a mistake made by mistake. He immediately led his men to check the Shanghai Post Office records and discovered that there were two other emails sent to Rongchang Trading Company that day, in addition to the one Fu Jingnian had stolen.
One of the letters has been found again and verified by the Special Higher Police Technical Section. It is just another ordinary family letter!
The other letter could not be delivered because the postman was frightened by the gunfight and was returned to the Suzhou Crab Market and Suzhou Crab Farm Trading Company, the place of origin.
"At that time, the Special Higher Police immediately wanted my disciple to take a group of police officers to Suzhou. My uncle happened to hear this and wanted to take the opportunity to go to Suzhou to taste authentic hairy crabs, so he went with my disciple."
Wu Zhiguo's voice lowered, tinged with lingering fear and anger: "We found the owner of that business, Feng Dagang."
When Feng Dagang heard about the returned letter, he became impatient and said he thought it was some prank by some buddy who had placed an order with him, the general distributor. He was crazy!
He carefully examined the contents; it was just a very ordinary purchase contract. Enraged, he tore the letter to shreds and threw it out the window into the Suzhou Creek!
"Oh! What does this have to do with your martial uncle's departure?" Upon hearing this, Li Xian remained calm, simply taking a sip of tea before asking casually.
Wu Zhiguo said with a wry smile: "The Japanese were furious, believing that Feng Dagang had deliberately destroyed evidence, and immediately arrested him, the manager of the trading company, and several middle-level managers and brought them back to Shanghai."
Those Japanese soldiers... those Japanese soldiers were even more brutal; to vent their anger, they actually...
They actually took all 170-plus ordinary employees of the business...
They all rushed to the Suzhou River... collectively... collectively using machine guns..." He couldn't continue, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins and resentment.
Li Xian's face also turned extremely ugly. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Your thirteenth uncle, is it because of this?"
Wu Zhiguo nodded emphatically: "My uncle's eyes turned red at that moment, and he even put his hands on the dart pouch! I held him tightly!"
Master, those are two whole companies of Japanese military police, plus people from the Special Higher Police. If we make a move, not only will we fail to save them, but we'll also get ourselves killed!
The martial uncle was trembling with anger, but in the end, he held back.
He paused, his tone becoming complicated: "After returning from Suzhou, my uncle became taciturn."
One night, he called me out for drinks, and after we drank too much, he told me...
He said, "Xiao Zhizi, do you understand now?"
The Japanese are cruel, bloodthirsty, fickle, insidious, and unpredictable; they treat our compatriots like dirt!
This is clearly what your master stole from the "Complete Library of the Four Treasuries, Volume 4, Section on Divination and Magic" from the Palace Museum in Beiping.
"The appearance of a dragon and snake"
Greed and violence will never allow one to transform into a dragon.
Ultimately, it's just a creature confined to a small pond; it will never amount to anything!
Without even a fraction of Jackie Chan's potential and opportunities, he's absolutely not worth relying on!
"Oh? I didn't expect that Thirteen would have improved so much since coming to Shanghai!" Li Xianming was clearly taken aback, seemingly not expecting these words to come from his lustful and gambling junior brother.
"My uncle also said that the Republic of China side was no better than them." Wu Zhiguo sighed.
He said that Han Fu, the chairman of Shandong Province during the Republic of China era, was a powerful regional official with an army of over 100,000 men.
Yet they abandoned vast swathes of land in Lu without firing a single shot. Such a government, with its top-down approach and such ineffective military and political orders, is certainly not a true leader, nor is it fit for any great responsibility. It is not worthy of our service.
The master said that he originally did not want to leave the mountain, but now that he has left and seen the true colors of both sides, he no longer wants to live in a daze.
He told me that he was going to go to Hong'an, a place that had been rumored to be different, to see if there really was a different atmosphere there.
Before leaving, he repeatedly instructed me...
Stop blindly following those inhuman Japanese devils and becoming their accomplices.
But then, fortune smiled upon me! Just then, Master, you received Station Chief Chen's "Repaying Grace Swallow," finally allowing your disciple to escape the stigma of being a "traitor" after death!
After listening, Li Xian remained silent for a long time, only tapping the table lightly with his fingers, his eyes flashing with a complex and unfathomable light.
After a long while, he sighed, "Although my thirteenth junior brother is unconventional, he often has unique insights into people and things."
The appearance of a serpent... the mystery of a true dragon... Sigh! I didn't expect this kid to have such grand ambitions, wanting to gain some merit as a "follower of the dragon"?
He looked at Wu Zhiguo: "Little Zhi, since your thirteenth uncle has gone to Hong'an, and you are working under the Japanese, and Station Chief Chen has also given you an opportunity!"
Perhaps this great battle will truly be the opportunity for our Swallow Clan to rise to power!
This perfectly aligns with the principle of "don't put all your eggs in one basket, and bet on multiple fronts"—a classic strategy.
In this way, no matter which of the three parties succeeds, our Yanzi Clan will benefit, sharing in the good fortune and bringing glory to our Yanzi Clan.
Yes, it's fate! It's fate! Ha.............
"Master, rest assured! Your disciple understands!" Wu Zhiguo straightened his back!
Just then, the warning bell outside the window rang. This was arranged by Wu Zhiguo for his men; no one was allowed to go up to the second floor without his permission, and the bell would ring if there was any trouble.
Wu Zhiguo cautiously walked downstairs, glanced at the gate, and spotted Zheng Luxian, a confidant of Chen Gongshu of the Military Intelligence Bureau!
Wu Zhiguo opened the door, and Zheng Luxian slipped in. After bowing respectfully to Li Xian, he said directly to Wu Zhiguo, "The station chief has ordered that your team members and equipment are in place."
This is the list and contact information. Your "Old Gun Team" consists of 5 people. Besides you, there is a liaison officer named Zhuang Jin, codenamed "Vegetable Snake." Assign him to your police station to coordinate your communication with the radio station.
A radio operator named Tian Ruxue was in charge of the radio station.
A female security officer, Zeng Moyi, was in charge of managing the codebook.
There is also a female emergency contact, Gu Xiaomeng, who has infiltrated the Shanghai City Hall under the station chief's arrangement, codenamed "Old Ghost"!
Apart from Caihua She, no one else knows that you are "Lao Qiang". These four are top agents from Changsha Station who follow the station chief. You can rest assured about their safety! He handed over a sealed note.
"In addition, this is the first important task the stationmaster has given you." Zheng Luxian's expression became extremely serious, and he handed over a thick file bag and a mini wire recorder.
The station chief orders you to use your authority and position as police chief to immediately arrange for a secret "investigation" of all suspicious persons who appeared in the area around 15 Pétain Road that day, especially within half an hour before and after the call was connected (around 10:18 AM).
This is a copy of the phone recording provided by Deputy Station Chief Wang. Furthermore, Deputy Station Chief Wang has already completed a preliminary investigation, identifying a total of 27 people in this area!
He paused, lowering his voice even further: "Your task is to use various excuses to 'invite' these 27 people, as well as anyone whose voice characteristics are similar to those in the recordings, regardless of whether they are Chinese, foreigners, or have any background, to come back to the police station to cooperate with the investigation, and to find a way to record their voices for comparison."
Even for people with special identities who cannot be easily approached, one should still try to get close to them and confirm their voices.
The station chief emphasized that, regarding your principle of "not using those you doubt, and not doubting those you use," he made it clear that this matter concerns finding the former ace intelligence agent "Crow's" contact, which is the station's top priority and must be addressed as soon as possible!
Upon hearing the word "crow," Wu Zhiguo's heart skipped a beat. But then, hearing Chen Gongshu's words of trust—"If you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them"—his eyes instantly ignited with fighting spirit: "Please reply to the stationmaster, Lao Qiang understands! Mission accomplished!"
