August 9, Lu’an.

Xia Jie sat absentmindedly in the office of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, sometimes frowning and sometimes in a daze.

The two clerks who were closer to him were whispering to the side when they saw him like this, their faces full of gossip.

After having a meal together on August 6, Widow He came to see him every day, sometimes to inquire about his welfare, sometimes just to take a look.

Xia Jie is a veteran who has retired from the battlefield and has never been exposed to meat. Although Widow He is a widow, she is petite and exquisite, which makes her somewhat lovable.

She hangs around in front of Xia Jie all day long. Xia Jie is a normal man who also wants to eat meat.

The woman has already reached this step, and Xia Jie did not refuse. Logically speaking, both parties should move on to the next stage.

But it was really difficult for Xia Jie to make up his mind because he had a slight resistance in his heart to get along with Widow He and her several associates.

This resistance comes from the awkwardness between the two parties, but what exactly is this awkwardness? Xia Jie himself can't figure it out.

It has been several days since the Military Intelligence Bureau took away merchant information, but not a single shop on the street has been inspected.

Xia Jie was full of doubts.

Were the Japanese spies not in that group of merchants? Or were the spies hidden so well that they were not detected?

After thinking for a long time, Xia Jie took out the information about He's grocery store from the drawer.

Looking at Widow He in the photo, the awkwardness in his heart became more and more obvious.

The two whispering clerks were about to boldly come over to gossip, but they didn't expect Xia Jie to suddenly stand up from behind his desk at this moment.

"Section Chief, where are you going? Are we together?" a section member asked.

Xia Jie waved his hand casually,

"Go meet an old friend. You should do your work seriously and don't idle around."

"Boyfriend or girlfriend?" The clerk became more and more courageous.

Xia Jie had already crossed the threshold. Hearing this, he turned his head and glared at the two clerks with his war-torn eyes.

The two of them felt their whole bodies tremble, turned around hurriedly, and pretended to be working.

After walking out of the gate of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, Xia Jie walked straight north, where the Lu'an Station of the Military Intelligence Bureau was.

…

…

In the past two days, Qianye had completely let go of herself, pretending to be a hungry widow, and hurriedly walked to Xia Jie's arms.

The reason for doing this is because the biggest card in her hand is not in Lu'an but on the front line.

Government officials and military generals in Jiangdongzhong are very aware of spies, and if they want to obtain valuable information, she must personally act.

After being in contact with her for the past few days, although Xia Jie's attitude has softened, Qianye can feel that this man is still guarding her.

"Miss, do you want to change the target?"

Qianye used to be such a arrogant person. After Qiao Youcheng witnessed what the young lady did these days, he really couldn't stand it anymore.

Qianye rolled her eyes at him and said:

"Men whose eyes light up as soon as they meet and want to go to bed never get anything done.

Only people like Xia Jie can provide us with intelligence for a long time. Although it is difficult to capture him now, as long as we control him, all his connections in the military and civil affairs will be used by us."

Qiao Youcheng devoted himself to learning,

"The Ishida team has probably fallen into the hands of the Jiangdong Military Intelligence Bureau. Has Peiping said anything about sending us an action team?"

Chiba shook his head gently,

"I don't know, the radio hasn't been on for several days."

Before Qiao Youcheng could ask questions, she said to herself:

"It has just been a few days since the attack on the instructor, and I feel a little uneasy. Just in case, let's wait until the news has passed before turning on the radio."

"Yes, miss."

A customer walked into the grocery store at this time, and Qiao Youcheng greeted him enthusiastically, without seeing anything unusual at all.

Chiba was lying behind the counter, his eyes rolling, wondering what he was planning?

…

…

Four days have passed, and even Qianye's shadow has not been seen. Song Li seemed a little irritable.

"Why hasn't her radio been turned on for so many days?"

Xiang Zhongwang shook his head,

"Maybe I heard something and hid it!"

In the past few days, the Military Intelligence Bureau has figured out the route used by Ishida's team to enter Lu'an and arrested some contact personnel.

But these people knew nothing about the situation in Chiba, and the Military Intelligence Bureau had tried its best to dig out some insignificant things.

Song Li sat back in his chair, tapping the fingers of his right hand on the table as he reviewed the events of these people one by one in his mind.

More than 10 minutes later, he asked Mayumi Hoshino, who was standing aside,

"Have you found any clues in the information obtained from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau?"

"People from the first department spent two days picking out dozens of suspicious characters. They have already sent people to monitor them. No abnormalities have been found yet."

Song Li suddenly looked at Hoshino Mayumi,

"There seem to be photos on those documents, have you seen them?"

Hoshino Mayumi shook her head. She only did what Song Li told her to do. She didn't dare to touch anything Song Li didn't tell her.

"Go and look through all the photos of suspicious people."

"Director, you are saying that the Industrial and Commercial Bureau may have taken a photo of Chiba!" Hoshino Mayumi's face showed a rare cold expression, and she said in shock:

"Qianye has been very cautious these years. There is no way she would put such a big loophole in front of us."

Song Li also thought it was impossible, but now he had no other clues, so he could only give it a try.

"Go take a look and pick out the parts you think are most suspicious."

Hoshino Mayumi bowed and took orders, as obedient as a little female cat.

…

Xia Jie lingered at the door of the Military Intelligence Bureau for two minutes, and finally reason defeated emotion.

He explained his purpose to the soldier on duty. Seeing that he was a veteran, the soldier was quite polite and agreed to call someone for him.

After a while, a man in a Chinese tunic suit walked out from inside the Military Intelligence Bureau.

"Deputy Director!" The soldier on duty saluted the man.

"Ah, Lao Xia, if you don't work well as your section chief, what brought you here? Didn't you look down on our profession the most before?" The deputy director hugged Xia Jie warmly and spoke unforgivingly.

.

Xia Jie took out the information in his hand,

"I've found some suspicious places these days and came to talk to you."

The deputy director took a look at the information and roughly understood what Xia Jie was going to say.

"Our director is here too. If you find anything, tell him directly!"

Xia Jie hesitated for a moment, nodded and said:

"OK!"
