A black car successfully passed through the checkpoint at the Waishiro Bridge. The driver was Tomie Kondo. The Kondo family was one of the major shareholders of the Mitsui Yanghang Group. Tomie Kondo was a top student in the economics department of Tokyo University in Japan. He was good friends with Yamamoto Kenzo, who was studying for a master's degree in finance at that time. After graduation, he first went to work for other companies for a period of time, then came to the Shanghai branch of Mitsui Corporation, which was Mitsui Yanghang. His goal was to start from the bottom and familiarize himself with all the businesses of the foreign firm.
As soon as they got in the car, Yamamoto Kenzo and Father Liu started chatting. They talked about how the financial city of London was dominated by the financial city of London, and how the financial empire of Rothschild was dominated by the financial city of London. Other than Kondo Tomie, the two girls had no room to interrupt.
When they passed through the second checkpoint, the car was stopped by a sentry. He read out the order from the military police headquarters: Military cars were prohibited from passing within a 10-kilometer radius of the Army Command, and civilian cars were warned.
"No problem. How can a soldier of the Imperium be afraid of death?”Yamamoto Kenzo answered in Japanese when he saw the questioning gaze from Kondo Tomie.
"It's okay. We'll be responsible for our own safety.”Kondo Tomie said to the guard in Japanese.
"Alright, you still have to be careful!”
The military police were still very polite to the Japanese and allowed them to pass.
Just as the car passed through the checkpoint, they encountered a rickshaw. The person on the rickshaw pulled up the brim of his cap and revealed a suspicious expression. He had already keenly captured the three people in the car. Two of them could not be seen clearly because of the line of sight. He could only judge from their clothes that they were two women. He immediately guessed that the two people were Liu Yuexin and Xiao Hong.
Behind the rickshaw, there was another rickshaw trailing far away. In the rickshaw sat Ichiro Suzuki, who had changed into plain clothes.
The two of them went to the concession to find a tea shop to sell tea leaves.
——————
As the golden signboard of the Tokyo Police Department, when Kumamoto Shunji stepped into the safe house, he did not pay too much attention to the Mosinagan in Ichiro Suzuki's hand. Instead, he walked around the house twice and picked up things from time to time to look at them.
They came to the window with Ichiro Suzuki following behind them. You didn't touch this window, did you?"
"Ha Yi, this is the killer's warning. This strange curtain and a small piece of wood outside the window sill. When people approach the window sill, they will touch the curtain. No matter what, it will not return to its original appearance. Therefore, in order not to scare the killer away, I kept my original appearance.”
Kumamoto nodded." But he was still scared away. If you look out the window, how many streets can you see clearly?"”
"Quite a lot! Your field of vision is very wide."
"The killer you saw last should be walking on that street. You can see this window from that place, right?”
"Yes!"
"Since there's no problem, why did he run away?”
"Because of the woman with the umbrella."
"Since that woman came from that direction, she couldn't see the window because she was holding an umbrella, and she didn't look in the direction of the window at all.”
"It's because I lack a towel prop.”
Kumamoto Shunji smiled." You were at that position. That woman appeared on this street for the first time. She walked very slowly, didn't she?”
"Yes, she didn't care about the window at all. She didn't look at us at all. She even covered her face above her nose with an umbrella.”
"Hehe, she was just afraid that you would remember her appearance. Isn't a red paper umbrella very abrupt and rare?”
"Yes. Actually, when that woman passed by, I kept looking at her. Because of that umbrella, I almost lost my mind.”
"Xiaofeng, what do you think?"
"That woman knew that this place was exposed, so she took a red paper umbrella from a very far place. Just as you said, this is a warning color. She might not be able to find her accomplices in time, and her accomplices will definitely see her from afar. In other words, the other party didn't know that this place was exposed after seeing Captain Suzuki. Instead, he knew that this place was being monitored, so he opened the red paper umbrella. And that red paper umbrella was only available in a shop run by the Japanese ten miles away.”
"Leader, I understand. This morning, when we started to investigate the safe house, the assassin team already knew that this place would be exposed, but the assassins themselves did not know, so they organized a rescue. Team Leader, I'll immediately investigate all the insiders.”
"It might not be an insider who leaked the news. After all, the search of the safe house was carried out with great fanfare. He could take the red paper umbrella and go to the shop to confirm it so that they could remember the person who bought the umbrella. We can't rule out the possibility of someone knowing. Let's leave this to Xiao Feng. He's the pair of eyes behind our intelligence team.”
"Ha Yi!"

At this moment, the landlord was brought to the scene by the third captain of the military police headquarters, Daisuke Ozaki. He was a slightly plump man in his fifties. He had a round head and a calm expression. He did not look frightened because he had been to the military police. He was a yes-man and was probably guarding the house for his gang leader.
"I know that you have been asked this question several times. I will ask you again. I hope you won't get tired of it.”
"I understand. As long as you ask, I'll tell you everything I know. After all, I'm only in a business relationship with the tenant.”
"Very good. Can you smell the tea leaves on him?”
"You're really different from them. By the way, I smelled tea leaves on him. He was in his fifties, wearing a top hat and sunglasses. He had a black beard and was Japanese.”After saying that, he even pointed below his nose.
Kumamoto Shunji smiled. He knew why this person was not punished in the military police. He was really talkative, so talkative that the thugs were reluctant to hit him.
"How did you know that he was Japanese?”
"Hehe, he's not tall, but he's very sturdy. He doesn't speak Chinese fluently, but he can barely understand. However, he's a straightforward person, and he gave me half a year's rent in yen.”
"Very good. Who do you think is about the same height as him?”
"He's about the same as you, but he's much stronger than you.”
"Very good, that's enough. Thank you!”
"That's it?" The landlord didn't quite believe it.
"Send him back to the gendarmerie and say that this person is extremely cooperative.”Kumamoto Shunji suggested to Daisuke Ozaki, the third captain of the Military Police Operation.
"Ha Yi!"
"Thank you, Matriarch! Thank you, Matriarch!" The landlord bowed repeatedly.
Seeing them leave, Ichiro Suzuki asked in confusion,""Team Leader, how did you know?”
"Look, this tea bucket contains new tea. It's green before the dawn. This tea has been on the market for less than ten days. Judging from the state of the safe house, no one had been here for at least a month. You guys still ruined the scene and left too many footprints! It should be the mission that this killer received from the tea shop. Since he was going to the tea shop to meet, he should be buying a bag of tea leaves. Look at the paper in the trash can and the paper rope. It's used to wrap tea leaves.”
"How about this, you guys go to the tea shops and take this paper to check them one by one.”
"Team Leader, didn't the landlord say that the person was Japanese?”
"He must have put on makeup. Remember, the owner of the tea shop is about 50 years old and 1.6 meters tall.”
"Ha Yi!"
The two of them turned to leave.
"Come back. You two go to the concession. There's still time.”Then, he picked up the tea bucket and weighed it in his hand. Then, he continued,"Two taels, buy two taels from each shop. I want new tea!”
"Ha Yi!"
At this point, he called over a few other agents and said thoughtfully,"Go separately to the Chinese world, including the Japanese tea shops, and buy tea leaves. Remember the name of the shop for each tea bag.”
"Ha Yi!"
——————
If the safe house was in trouble, Maofeng Tea Shop would be exposed sooner or later. It seemed like Uncle Ho couldn't be kept here anymore. Xiao Xiang should still be in the shop. Although Xiao Xiang didn't know much about the team, he was the one who made the call to the New Tianan Church. Thus, Little Xiang had to move as well!
Now that the group was on the verge of collapse, everyone was at risk of being exposed. Nothing could happen to the New Tianan Church again!
He had to limit the exposure to the three of them and let them become an independent team under the commander. He had to inform the higher-ups about this. Don't let the situation escalate. Don't let the enemy shift their attention to the core of Special Team 5.
After leaving the apartment, Cheng Xiaofeng said to Ichiro Suzuki,""Suzuki-kun, which area are you familiar with?”
"The Bund?"
"Alright, we'll take the center of Shanxi Road as the boundary. You'll be in charge of the east, and I'll be in charge of the west.”He looked at his watch." See you at Edward's intersection around 5:30!”
"Alright!"
The two of them got a rickshaw and headed to the concession.
------
Fortunately, there was still time. Feng Yuan, Feng Yuan, don't let anything happen to you again.
At this moment, a car drove past the checkpoint. When he saw the person inside, he immediately covered his face. At the moment they crossed paths, he could feel a probing gaze sweeping over him.
This gaze should belong to the person sitting in the front passenger seat. He could feel that this was the gaze of a peer. Interesting. I wonder if Liu Yuexin can handle it.
Now was not the time to care about the people in the car. He had to finish what he had to do before 5:30!
This was the first time he had entered the concession alone. The rickshaw driver he was riding often appeared in the Japanese occupied area and was recorded in the Special Higher Police. He chose a tea shop and didn't let the coachman leave after getting off the car. Instead, they walked into the tea shop together.
"Boss, two taels of new tea!"
"Alright! This is our shop's newly launched pre-dawn green, from Hangzhou!”
"Well, how about this? Boss, write the name of the restaurant on the wrapping paper. If it's good, I won't forget about your restaurant next time.”
"That's true. You rickshaws go around everywhere. See, I wrote it down for you!”
The two of them walked out of the tea shop. Cheng Xiaofeng placed the tea leaves in the box under the seat of the rickshaw.
He took out a silver dollar and gave it to the coachman. Then, he took out a few French coins and handed them to the coachman.
"Follow what I did just now. Go down this street and head west of Shanxi Road. If you're in a tea shop, go buy two taels of new tea! He didn't want the box, just the paper wrapping, and the name of the shop.”
"Yes, Taijun!"
"Meet me here in two hours!”
"Alright."

Holding the red paper umbrella, Zhou Hui turned the corner of the street and was seen by the exhausted Feng Yuan. At the same time, Zhou Hui also saw Feng Yuan. She put away the red umbrella and pointed to the alley.
Feng Yuan immediately understood that there was a problem.
Feng Yuan's heart warmed. He knew that something had gone wrong in the safe house. This woman was here to help him. The red umbrella was a warning. His originally empty body was immediately filled with strength. He turned into the street at a speed that was no slower than usual and ran parallel to Zhou Hui across the street. The two of them met at the first intersection.
At this moment, Zhou Hui had already changed into a gray robe and a top hat. Similarly, he had also prepared a gray robe, top hat, and a pair of gray pants for him.
After the two of them changed into their clothes, they stuffed the umbrella and black clothes into a secret place. They heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from the road. When the footsteps were far away, they ran out of the alley in the opposite direction and returned to the apartment's safe house. They plunged into a small tavern by the road.
Ten minutes later, the two of them were flushed red and walked out of the tavern reeking of alcohol. She even pretended to be surprised as she stood by the roadside and looked around at the group of spies running back and forth.
He even heard the head of the secret service dressed as a rickshaw driver shouting,"Baka, search every house there!”
The two of them walked timidly past the spy chief and called a rickshaw.
The head of the special agents didn't even look at them! He was too tired from running! He was so tired that he didn't want to divert too much energy on other things. His mind was only filled with red paper umbrellas, orchid cheongsams, black clothes, and black pants! Perhaps after he found the items left behind, he vaguely remembered that two drunkards had asked him for a rickshaw.
The two of them, who reeked of alcohol and were blushing, were not the focus of the interrogation at all.
When the two of them got off the train station and mixed through the crowd, they turned into a couple who had just gotten off the train.
The woman's moon-white shawl covered most of her blue cheongsam. The man was wearing a gray robe and a top hat. He was carrying a leather suitcase that he had stolen.
He hired a rickshaw and went straight to Tibet Road in the west. The security there was indeed lax, so the two of them successfully passed.
The journey was not short, and he bought medicine from a pharmacy on the way. When he returned to his home in Xinyuanli near Shandong Road, Feng Yuan could no longer hold on. He seemed to have exhausted the last bit of strength in his body and the last bit of consciousness in his brain. He was in a semi-conscious state.
Fortunately, Zhou Hui was a nurse, so she did the necessary treatment. She lowered the temperature, put on an IV drip, and applied anti-inflammatory drugs. Finally, her condition was under control.
Looking at the unconscious man on the bed, Zhou Hui smiled bitterly. She did not expect this iron-clad man to have times when he was helpless and weak.
------
At this moment, someone knocked on the door." Dong, dong-dong, dong, dong-dong," one short and one long, twice in a row.
Zhou Hui knew that this was a secret code, but she still took out her gun and placed it behind the door. She asked gently,"Who is it?"
"There's no need to open the door. Is the peacock safe?”A low voice came from outside the door.
Zhou Hui could tell that this was the voice that had called the police in the morning.
"Safe, I've returned home, but I'm seriously ill and can't move.”
The man hesitated for a moment and continued," You've already been exposed. The Japanese have seen your faces. You have to prepare to evacuate within two days. It's best to take leave from the hospital and the bank. Don't let others suspect you. The peacock was not careful enough and brought the tea leaves to the safe house, causing the oriole to be exposed. The oriole had to leave properly before dark. Only the peacock could take the oriole away.”
"Then what should we do? He has a high fever and can't move."
"Alright, I'll make the arrangements for the oriole. There are two telegrams here. One of them is for the higher-ups, and it's about how you and the oriole should be settled. "The other one is to confuse the enemy. According to the frequency on it, send this secret message at 10 pm. I have already written the secret message. Send it directly. Remember to be unfamiliar with the finger technique and send it again every ten minutes.”
"Understood!"
Two pieces of paper slipped in through the crack of the door, and then the sound of footsteps could be heard.
