Chapter 619 Treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor
Yuan Ye met Li Qunshi and Nan Yun Masako in the office, and Xiang Shoushi and Yan Ping were also there.
Masako Nagumo came to inquire about the progress of the operation to capture the technicians. Yesterday afternoon, after Yoshio Takemiya called Yoshio Takemiya, Takemiya Yoshio discussed with Masako Nagumo and then handed the matter over to Li Qunshi of No. 76 to complete.
Li Qunshi was also completely in the dark. He had no idea where these technicians lived, so how could he catch them?
He called Wu Shibao over. His subordinates were all native Green Gang members and were well-informed. They should have a way. It would be most appropriate to let Wu Shibao lead the team to complete this task.
This morning, Wu Shibao took more than a hundred of his men out to inquire about the situation of those technicians, and they have not returned yet.
The reason why Masako Nagumo rushed over to find out the situation was because Kagesa Makiaki saw the news about the counterfeit money leaked in the newspaper and was worried that the arrest of the technicians might also be leaked, and the Military Control Commission might also intervene in the matter.
After he returned from the city government, he called Takemiya Yoshio again and asked him to speed up the implementation of this matter, because the Military Control Commission might transfer these technicians in order to disrupt their plans.
Takemiya Yoshio thought that if such information could be leaked, it seemed that the Mei Agency was not a monolithic entity. Of course, this was the Mei Agency's own business, and he was not in a position to ask how it was leaked. Nanyun Yazi then rushed to No. 76 in a hurry and told Li Qunshi about the situation.
Wu Shibao hadn't come back yet, and they didn't know what was going on. They could only stare blankly, waiting for Wu Shibao to come back.
Li Qunshi told Yuan Ye all these situations. Yuan Ye pretended to be worried and talked to them while waiting for Wu Shibao.
Nanyun Masako was also busy and came up with another trick. While waiting for someone, she discussed with Li Qunshi and asked Xiang Shoushi to write a surrender notice to be published in the newspaper.
He felt that Xiang Shoushi, as the deputy station chief of the Shanghai station and concurrently the head of the intelligence department, should have a certain appeal. Perhaps if his subordinates saw this notice, some of them might come over to him.
Of course, those who surrender will be given generous bonuses as promised in the notice. As long as someone is willing to surrender, they may find an opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station.
Yuan Ye couldn't help but admire that Nanyun Masako's move was really ruthless. The Shanghai station had just suffered a serious blow, and people's hearts were unstable. It was really hard to say that there would not be weak-willed people who could not resist the temptation and surrender after seeing the revelation in the newspaper.
Xiang Shoushi quickly wrote a notice according to Nanyun Masako's request. The main purpose was to persuade people with reason, appeal to their emotions and lure them with benefits. Nanyun Masako was very satisfied after reading it. Li Qunshi immediately sent someone to take the notice to the newspaper and asked the newspaper to publish it.
Yuan Ye had no choice but to pray in his heart, hoping that no one would come and surrender. He could only take one step at a time, but he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Xiang Shoushi is still a big threat, but he stays in No. 76 every day, and there is no way to get rid of him for the time being.
He didn't hear Hu Deping's voice in the entire building, so he knew that he should not have been discharged from the hospital yet. It seemed that he could only wait until he was discharged and entered Room 76, and then be with Xiang Shoushi, and then look for an opportunity to get rid of this traitor.
Half an hour later, Wu Shibao finally came back. From his expression, it was clear that he had returned empty-handed.
Wu Shibao reported that he led his men to mobilize various connections and put in a lot of effort, and he actually found the whereabouts of several technicians, but without exception, these technicians were not at home and did not come back last night.
He felt something was amiss, it was too much of a coincidence, and he didn't want to continue looking, so he hurried back to report.
Yuan Ye felt relieved when he heard this. Needless to say, these people must have been transferred to Shanghai Station in advance.
It seems that Wang Tianwang acted very quickly this time. Although the Shanghai station suffered a considerable blow, it quickly recovered its ability to move. Wang Tianwang is indeed quite capable and his reputation is not in vain.
Yuan Ye was right. After receiving the order from the headquarters, Wang Tianwang attached great importance to it. If this operation was completed well, it would not only boost the morale of the Shanghai station, but also reduce his own responsibility. Xiang Shoushi was his deputy and his confidant. His betrayal and surrender to the enemy made Wang Tianwang very passive. He could not be without responsibility.
Chu Yuntian also called Wang Tianwang separately to tell him that he had helped Wang Tianwang to fight for this operation, and the bureau chief had high hopes for it, so it must be completed well and as soon as possible, and must be done before the Japanese. If there are any difficulties, he can ask Xincha for help.
Wang Tianwang called to express his gratitude. He really needed this operation, but he felt that the operation was not difficult and there was no need to ask Xincha for help.
He did not dare to take it lightly and quickly arranged personnel. According to the list and address, he transferred all eight technicians within one day and arranged them to a safe house. He planned to send all the personnel out of Shanghai in two days.
So when Wu Shibao took people to find these technicians the next day, they naturally came up empty-handed.
After listening to Wu Shibao's report, everyone in the room fell silent. They all knew what had happened. The people were still transferred away by the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station.
Everyone's face was grim. Wu Shibao didn't know what had happened and was a little uneasy. Yuan Ye told him that the news of the operation had been leaked and the people had been transferred away in advance by the Military Control Commission. It was none of his business. Wu Shibao was relieved when he heard the special envoy say it was not his responsibility.
Nanyun Masako did not give up, still holding on to a glimmer of hope, and asked Xiang Shoushi with a sullen face:
"Director Xiang, do you know where these people might be hiding?"
Xiang Shoushi smiled bitterly and said:
"I might have known about it when I was at the Shanghai station, but the original safe houses have been abandoned, as you know.
I don't know where he's hiding, but it must be in the French Concession or the International Settlement. I can send my men to the concession to investigate secretly, but I can't say whether I can find him. I can only try my luck."
Yuan Ye knew that Xiang Shoushi was comforting Nanyun Masako. The concession was so large, and it would not be easy to find several people hiding inside as long as they didn't come out.
However, it is still necessary to remind Wang Tianwang to remain vigilant and keep those technicians under control.
He calmly agreed:
"This is the only solution, it's better than doing nothing.
Director Xiang's people come from the Military Control Commission and are very familiar with the military system. Maybe they can really find out something."
Li Qunshi also said:
"I think what the special envoy said is very right. It might actually be useful."
Nanyun Masako also thought so. Now she could only try her best to save the dying horse. She nodded and said:
"Then I'll have to trouble Director Xiang. Let's get started now."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right now."
After Xiang Shoushi finished speaking, he hurried out of the office. Of course, he would not go there in person. He would not take the risk.
