From Waibaidu Bridge to Beisichuan Road, and then north, passing the headquarters of the Japanese Marine Corps, it is the northernmost part of Shanghai - Hongkou Park.

Not far from Hongkou Park, there is a lonely two-story Western-style house among a dense bush, and the gray house looks a bit old.

This is "Shikokudo", Kenji Doihara's private residence in Shanghai.

In Jinan, the work for "Wuziyu" was not going well, so Kenji Doihara flew directly to Shanghai. As soon as he landed at Hongqiao Airport, he drove back to Chongguangtang directly.

This private house in Shanghai has been identified by him as the headquarters of Doihara's agency, and it is not the first time he has been here.

In fact, he has been here secretly many times in the past six months, but he just doesn't know about it for the outside world.

"General!"

Eiichi Iwai, Keiyo Haruki and some important personnel affiliated with the Doihara agency in Shanghai have been waiting in Shigekunido for a long time.

"I've been on the plane for several hours, and I'm a little tired. Master Haruki stayed, and everyone else has dispersed." Kenji Doihara got off the car and waved his hand with a tired look on his face.

"yes!"

Kenji Doihara came over and brought only the adjutant and two staff officers.

Taking off his military uniform and changing into a kimono, Kenji Doihara ordered his subordinates to call Kyoto Kyoto into the study.

"Sit down, Qingqi!

"Hayi!" Kyuki Kyoto took off his leather shoes, fell over nervously, and knelt in front of Kenji Doihara. Things were not done well, and he seemed to be mentally prepared to be punished.

"General, all this was my negligence, which caused an irreversible impact. Now the whole of Shanghai knows the secret of the empire's desire to launch Tang Shaochuan to form a new government."

"You are indeed careless about this matter, but the mistake is not entirely yours. We have too many enemies in Shanghai. In this way, the empire's desire to achieve peaceful governance in Shanghai is becoming more and more difficult. This is why we have to re-elect a new government. A government without appeal cannot allow government orders to be carried out smoothly. Do you understand?" Kenji Doihara sat down and said slowly.

“Hayi.”

"Tang Shaochuan is waiting for a price. This is the traditional wisdom of the Chinese. Based on my understanding of him, as long as he meets the conditions he expected in his heart, it is only a matter of time for him to turn to us. On the contrary, Mr. Wu is much more difficult to do, and the warrior is always straightforward and does not know how to adapt." Kenji Doihara had a headache.

"General, now you are here."

"How is Tang Shaochuan's attitude towards you?"

"He is very polite. He looks rather modest, like a kind elder, but I can't see what he is thinking."

"Have he read the letter I wrote to him?"

"No, but he accepted your handwritten letter. I think he will definitely read it." Qingqi Qingyin said.

"What do you think about the public security in Shanghai and the struggle against Japanese elements?" Kenji Doihara suddenly changed his mind and turned to another topic.

"General, the public security in Shanghai is very chaotic. The Chinese world is more chaotic than the concession, but the anti-Japanese elements in the Chinese world are not as active as the concession, and the concession has almost become a shelter for anti-Japanese elements." Qingqi Qingyin said.

"Speak."

"Take the public concession as an example. Although we require publications in the concession to be inspected, they rarely abide by them. The newspapers constantly promote anti-Japanese articles, and the safety of our people entering the concession is not guaranteed. The military commander of Chongqing and the anti-Japanese elements of the Qing Gang are very active in the concession..."

"General Kumamoto and Mr. Iwai of the Black Dragon Society supported the zodiac, but not long after the zodiac was established, they were beaten by the Military Commission and a member of the Iron Blood Anti-Traitor Group. Now they have no power."

"I have heard of the Iron Blood Anti-Traitor Group. Is his leader called a military advisor?"

"Yes, General." Qingqi said, "Miss Yunzi told me that this iron-blooded anti-traitor group has been recruited by Chongqing and unified with the army, becoming our biggest enemy in Shanghai."

"Well, I understand." Kenji Doihara nodded.

"By the way, how is Yunzi's situation?"

"Miss Yunzi's body is recovering, but a bullet hurts the spine. It is not yet certain whether it will leave any sequelae."

"Yunzi is the student I admire the most. I came to Shanghai and it is not convenient to show up. You can visit her more for me." Kenji Doihara ordered.

"Hay." Qingqi said, "However, General, Miss Yunzi is now recovering from injuries in Guangci Hospital in the French Concession, and it is very dangerous for us to enter and exit the concession."

"Do they still dare to attack in broad daylight?"

"Yes."

Kenji Doihara frowned slightly. The public security problems in Shanghai were much more serious than he thought.

...

Guangci Hospital, Lu Xiyan has come to work.

The popularity has passed, and except for some particularly tough people, there are basically no reporters who come to the hospital to harass him.

What kind of person Lu Xiyan is, Guangci Hospital can see clearly.

He just did his duty as a doctor, and it was too far-fetched to label him a "traitor".

But in order to avoid suspicion, Lu Xiyan would never step into Takeuchi Yunko's ward.

Anyway, he is just a surgeon. After the follow-up treatment after the operation, it is the same as if he is not. Why bother with him again?

"Doctor Lu, that Yunko Takeuchi was transferred to the hospital today." Xi Mengyao knocked on the door and entered the office and said.

"If you transfer to the hospital, just transfer to the hospital. Her health should be fine now." Lu Xiyan said.

"Takeuchi Yunko said, before leaving, I want to express my gratitude to you in person."

"Thank you forgot it. I am a doctor. It is my duty to treat and save patients. There is really no need for her to do this." Lu Xiyan refused.

Takeuchi Yunko has been transferred to the hospital without any warning.

Of course, this is a normal thing in itself. Takeuchi Yunko has been living in Guangci Hospital, and safety is a problem. A few days ago, a Japanese officer was poisoned to death in his army hospital.

The Japanese side sent a special ambulance to come, and there were many people who accompanied him to protect him.

Takeuchi Yunko was lying directly on a stretcher and was carried into an ambulance. Although her spine felt, she could not move significantly.

According to Lu Xiyan's estimate, he must lie in bed for at least two or three months.

...

"Kenji Doihara has come to Shanghai secretly. The plane was yesterday afternoon." At noon, Lu Xiyan received a call from Tang Jin.

He suddenly understood why Takeuchi Yunko was suddenly transferred to the hospital. Kenji Doihara wanted to see Takeuchi Yunko, how could he come to Guangci Hospital?

There is only one way to get Takeuchi Yunko to the Japanese Army Hospital in Hongkou, which is more convenient and of course safer.

"I understand. Takeuchi Yunko has also transferred to the hospital today."

"Well, see you in the old place tonight."

"OK."

Lu Xiyan knew that this old place was not the Windsor Hotel, nor Cao Bin's Extraordinary Studio, but the Black Cat Bar on Zhu Baosan Road.

...

After get off work in the evening, Ma Xiaowu drove to pick up Lu Xiyan.

"Don't hurry to go home, it's an old place." Lu Xiyan ordered.

Ma Xiaowu understood that he was going to the Black Cat Tavern.

When Lu Xiyan and Ma Xiaowu arrived, before Tang Jin arrived, the two of them asked for a slaughter of black beer and peanuts, drinking and talking.

It took more than half an hour to see Tang Jin and Qi Huan.

He greeted Jack and walked over.

"Old Lu, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Before I got off work, my boss suddenly had to have a meeting. There was nothing I could do." Tang Jin took off his coat and sat down and explained, "I'll punish myself for a drink first."

"Lao Lu, I have explained your affairs to Boss Dai. Don't worry, Shangfeng won't misunderstand you."

"That's good."

"Come on, celebrate, another traitor died in the death of the underworld, which is very satisfying." Tang Jin raised his glass and said.

"cheers!"

"Old Lu, I know that you are working with Monte in a pharmaceutical business. Can you find a way to get a batch of anti-inflammatory drugs to treat gunshot wounds, the more the better?" Tang Jin asked Lu Xiyan quietly.

"Brother Tang, how much do you want?" Lu Xiyan's eyes narrowed slightly. Who is Tang Jin? The smuggling of drugs can't be concealed from him at all.

"How many do you have?" Tang Jin asked. At the Battle of Wuhan, the National Army suffered heavy casualties, and the front line urgently needed various medicines to treat gunshot wounds.

"A ship of medicine is about to arrive in Shanghai. I have limited funds and can't eat much." Lu Xiyan said.

"How much money do you need? I can lend it to you first, and it is a formal channel, so I don't have to worry about being investigated." Tang Jin said.

"You mean to go through the formal channels?"

"Can medicines from regular channels be transported to the Wuhan front line?" Tang Jin asked back.

"I understand, wait for my news." Lu Xiyan thought for a moment and nodded.

"Please," said Tang Jin, "I would like to thank you for the soldiers on the front line."

"It should be, let alone, I made money," Lu Xiyan said.

"Drink, we won't return tonight without getting drunk!" Tang Jin happily raised his wine glass and met Lu Xiyan.

"Inspector General, have you heard that the old Kui was having funeral the day after tomorrow. It is said that there are many people going there between black and white." Qi Huan raised a topic.

"Brother Tang, are you going?"

"According to the truth, even if I don't go, I will give you a generous gift." Tang Jin said, "Don't mention him, drink, drink."
