On Nanjing Road, Haisi Chess Club.

Chen Miao hasn't been here for a long time, mainly because he is too busy and has no time. However, he is an old member here. As soon as he comes in, a waiter has come to greet him.

"Mr. Fang is here."

"Yes." Chen Miao also used the pseudonym "Fang Wen". Anyway, Sakurako Ikenai already knew his past pseudonym, so she didn't have to worry about anything. He just made friends with chess here, and he made friends in the chess field. Of course, most of them were Japanese.

This Haisi Chess Club was actually the source of news in the past. Of course, it was not direct or indirect. Those who could go to the Chess Club for entertainment were all Japanese powerful people in Shanghai, and occasionally they could encounter Japanese military commanders wearing casual clothes.

This has something to do with the popularity and flattery of Go in Japan.

Playing chess is a collision of the soul and an advanced way for people to communicate without talking. Japan has admired and learned Chinese questions since ancient times. Although they are now learning science from the West, some traditional activities have been preserved.

Playing chess is a sport that is popular among Japanese people, from nobles to ordinary people.

In the private room, burn a furnace of peaceful incense.

The elegant Japanese girl tiptoed in in a kimono and served fragrant tea.

Kneel and sit on the soft collapse.

"Mr. Xilin, long time no see."

"Yes, Mr. Fang." Xilin Longfu nodded slightly, reached out to make a 'please' gesture with a smile, "This time, please ask Mr. Fang to hold a black piece."

"good."

"The Japanese military intends to delay the new Wang government and the capital is Nanjing. Do you know this?" Xilin Longfu leaned forward slightly and asked in a low voice.

“I heard it.”

"The Japanese military has secretly contacted Chongqing in Hong Kong. Their real target is Mr. Jiang from Chongqing, and Mr. Wang is just an alternative."

"What's the news?"

"It is said that there has been substantial progress, but whether an agreement has been reached is still in the confidentiality stage." Xilin Longfu said.

"What we need is precise news, not such ambiguousness." Chen Miao said.

"This kind of secret negotiation is not something I can access. I just heard some news from other channels." Xilin Ryuu said, "They have secret negotiations in Hong Kong, and the person in charge is Takeo Imai, the intelligence minister of the General Staff of the Chinese Expeditionary Army."

“What about Chongqing?”

"It is said that he is the younger brother of Minister of Finance, Mr. Song Ziwen, general manager of Southwest Transportation Company, and there is the force of the Military Control Commission to promote it." Xilin Longfu said with one son.

"Oh?" Chen Miao was stunned. The Military Control Commission was the most anti-Japanese war, at least for the time being. Although Dai Yunong was suspicious and stingy, he was much more determined than many Kuomintang generals in the fight against Japan.

The military commander was involved, for the sake of confidentiality. If other departments and institutions were involved, the news would probably be everywhere. Also, this should be instructed by the old man.

"You can check this?"

"No, my identity cannot touch these secrets. Once you make any move, you will inevitably be suspected." Chen Miao shook his head, "How come you have no idea about the 'Jiaozi' plan you mentioned before?"

"I'm asking you today to tell you about this 'Jiaozi' plan. According to news from Tokyo, the 'Jiaozi' plan has initially formed a plan, but to carry out this plan, it requires the cooperation of the new Wang government. Therefore, they may also send a representative to secretly contact Wang."

"When, who?"

"The specific time and person have not been decided yet, but this person's identity will not be too low." Xilin Longfu said, "It should be held early next month."

“What do we need to do?”

"Find a way to get close to and figure out the specific purpose of this person's secret contact with the Wang family."

"It doesn't seem easy, right?"

"Of course it's not easy, but if I provide you with relevant information about you, it will be much easier." Xilin Longfu said.

"What?"

"Although we are not sure who they will send, we have conducted a detailed investigation of several of their spare candidates. If necessary, I would like to ask you to cooperate with me." Xilin Longfu solemnly asked.

"Cooperate with your actions?" Chen Miao was stunned.

"Yes, in terms of action, I may be an absolute newbie, so I must rely on you." Xilin Longfu said.

"Well, I understand. If I need my cooperation, please notify me in advance and I'm ready." Chen Miao nodded.

"There is another thing. Let me tell you. Lin Shiqun, on the 76th, transferred from Qingdao to Japan. He met Hideki Tojo and had a talk for nearly two hours. It is said that he had reached some verbal secret agreements."

"I know this."

"You already know?" Xilin Longfu said in surprise.

"Tokyo Base Camp judges that the situation in Europe this year will undergo earth-shaking changes, and it has become the consensus of the military to withdraw from the Chinese battlefield as soon as possible..."

Chen Miao nodded. He could also judge these from the information he received, but what kind of predictions will Japan make about the situation and what policies will it adopt?

Although what Shilin Ryufu gave was not accurate information, his information channel was through Japanese comrades lurking in Tokyo.

Then they are very clear about the next policy of the Japanese military.

"Can you analyze it if there are any relevant documents?" Chen Miao asked. He was doing intelligence analysis, so he could naturally analyze the real intention from various messages and documents that he seemed to not want to do.

For example, if you want to take military action in a certain direction, the clues can be seen in the early stage of the troops mobilization, migration and defense replacement.

Japan supports the Wang family and secretly negotiates with Chongqing, which shows that Japan is eager to end the war in China and they want to induce Chongqing to surrender.

"The strict terms in the Japan-Wang secret agreement actually have intentional elements. The Japanese military has always hoped to negotiate with Mr. Jiang from Chongqing. However, in the Kobaya statement, it proposed not to use the "Cheng regime" as the object of the peace talks, so it is difficult to make a follow-up..."

"Mr. Xilin means that to some extent, the announcement of the secret agreement will actually be beneficial even if it damages the reputation of Wang and the international doubts about Japan?"

"Yes, if we release huge concessions in signing a peace treaty with Chongqing on the basis of a secret treaty..."

"Mr. Xilin, how much war potential does Japan still have?" Chen Miao asked a question that caught Xilin Longfu off guard.

"Mr. Fang, you are the first person to ask me this question. It can be seen that you are a real strategic intelligence expert." Xilin Longfu said solemnly.

"Mr. Xilin praised it. I am actually quite confused about this question, so I want to ask Mr. Xilin to solve my doubts." Chen Miao said hurriedly.

"This question is too complicated, I can't answer you completely, but I can tell you some data, which is a bit different from what is officially disclosed..."

"Can you collect some newspapers from Japan for me? I want to analyze them myself?" Chen Miao said.

"It's not difficult to collect, but if you want to send it to Shanghai, it's a bit difficult. You know, the domestic news control in Japan is also very strict, and domestic newspapers are not allowed to be taken out, especially some sensitive reports." Xilin Longfu said.

"You have collected the newspapers, I'll find a way."

"Okay, I'll send a telegram to the country and ask them to think of ways, but it can't be guaranteed, what time do you plan to get?"

"Looking forward, in the past six months, there are at least ten official newspapers," Chen Miao said, "Just forget about advertising and unnutritional scandal stories."

"good."

...

After separating from Xilin Longfu, Chen Miao returned to "Lin" and before going to the headquarters on the 76th to have a New Year's Eve dinner, he still had another job today, which was to settle Mao Ziming's case.

In addition to Han Xiaodong's identity, the basic situation of other cases is already very clear. Mao Ziming will have to peel off a layer of skin if he doesn't die this time.

Since giving Mao Ziming ant soil regularly every day, his mental state has improved a little.

"Mao Ziming, I've brought the temple."

"Ti Tang?" Mao Ziming's eyes lit up when he heard these two words. Since he refused to sign the promise letter of "voluntary treatment for smoking cessation", no one has cared about him. Even those who came to see him every day were not seen.

Apart from the designated meal delivery every day and limited amount of smoke, he couldn't find anyone who could talk to him, and he was almost crazy.

This is a very ordinary interrogation room, without a gloomy atmosphere, and there are no blood-stained torture instruments on the walls, just a room.

A prison chair, a table, and a desk lamp.

"Forget it, don't mess it up!" Chen Miao came in and saw someone pressing Mao Ziming onto a prison chair, preparing to limit him to the chair.

"yes."

"Chen Sanshui, no, Director Chen, you are finally willing to see me. I was wronged. Really, you must believe me. I am innocent..." Mao Ziming rushed up excitedly when he saw Chen Miao.

"Mao Ziming, if you don't want to be treated like a prisoner, you'd better sit back, otherwise we'll take compulsory measures against you!" Jiang Zhiqiang shouted from behind.

Mao Ziming's face turned pale and he quickly sat back.

"Mao Ziming, this is Xiao New Year. Your wife and children will come later. Let you meet." Chen Miao walked over and said, "Sit down, this may be your last time in the Inspectorate."

"What do you mean, Director Chen, what are you doing?"

"Don't worry, I'll kill you long ago. I won't wait until now. The case of Han Xiaodong's disappearance is still missing. You, cooperate with me and we will end the case, so we won't make things difficult for you." Chen Miao said.

"What does Han Xiaodong's disappearance have to do with me? What evidence do you have?" Mao Ziming said excitedly, "Tell you, I don't know that Han Xiaodong is from the Military Control Commission, don't frame me..."

"Don't be excited, we won't talk to you if we don't have any evidence." Chen Miao gave Jiang Zhiqiang a look.

Jiang Zhiqiang came forward with a bag, opened it in front of Mao Ziming, and said coldly: "Mao Ziming, do you know these leather shoes?"

When Mao Ziming looked at it, his face turned pale suddenly, and sweat was seeping from his forehead and neck, and his eyes were distracted.

"Why, you won't even know your own shoes, right?"

"This is not my shoes, you guys got it wrong..."

"What about this?" Jiang Zhiqiang waved his hand, and someone outside the door brought a broken fishing net in and threw it at Mao Ziming's feet.
