In the large luxury box of the Navy Club, more than a dozen high-ranking officials and core members of the Special Higher Police were sitting. They were drinking, but the cups in front of each of them had not been touched. The atmosphere at the scene was solemn.
The three team leaders of the operation team had already returned with their personnel to investigate the scene. All the people they brought were in another private room to strictly seal off the news.
After listening to the report, the plan for tomorrow's capture was further clarified. However, the most important thing was that the person to pretend to be the " caterpillar " had not been decided yet. The main difference was whether to send the deputy captain of the investigation team, Hu Junjie, or Xiao Dao. Hu Junjie was an old man in Shanghai Station, and it was difficult for the " Iron Armor " to see through him. However, his loyalty to the Great Japan Empire was still to be tested. There was no problem with Kojima's loyalty, and his Chinese was also the best. However, he was a Japanese after all, and he did not know much about Juntong. It was hard to say that he would not be seen through by the other party.
Wang Xing remained silent, and so did Matsuta Yuta. In fact, Matsuta Yuta had his own ideas, but he still wanted to listen to his subordinates 'suggestions. From their suggestions, he could evaluate their standards.
Iza Akira did not say anything either. He was also coldly watching his colleagues argue. From time to time, he would look at the Chief's expression. He could feel the disdain hidden under the Chief's calm expression.
In the end, Matsuta Yuta looked at Akira Iza. Akira Iza knew that he had to say it.
"Chief, I don't think these two are suitable.”
Everyone looked at the operation team leader. Wang Xing's expression remained calm, but the corner of his right eye twitched unconsciously.
He couldn't send the information out, so he could only survive in danger. The key to his proposal of the real and fake " caterpillar " was the contact person. Hu Junjie was the best candidate and also the premise of this plan. If it was Hu Junjie, then the " Iron Armor " could turn the situation around. Otherwise, Iron Armor would be doomed.
"Oh?" Yuta Matsuta finally spoke. Isa-kun, who do you think is more suitable?”
Iza Akira said," Our local agents who are proficient in the Chinese language have been sent out. Kojima's Chinese language is just a little better than others. At present, there is no one in Shanghai who can deceive the 'Iron Armor'. Even if we only want to catch the' Iron Armor', it will attract the concession patrol and make this mission fail. Therefore, the candidate had to be able to avoid the suspicion of the Iron Armor. As for Hu Junjie, he had already been blacklisted by the Commander. He was an old member of the Commander, and his photo had long been left behind by the Commander. It was hard to guarantee that the Iron Armor would not recognize him. Therefore, none of them are suitable."
"Could it be that Isa-kun has a better candidate?" Kurosawa asked.”
"Of course, Cheng Sang is the right candidate!" Iza Akira said with a smile.”
Everyone was enlightened. Wang Xing was also stunned.
Yuta Matsuta laughed and nodded."That's right. I wonder if Cheng Sang is willing?”
Everyone looked at the corner where Cheng Xiaofeng was focusing on the message.
Cheng Xiaofeng put down the message and pen, smiled faintly, and looked at Wang Xing meaningfully. He bowed slightly to Matsuta Yuta and replied,"Ha Yi, I will definitely obey the Chief's orders.”
Matsuta Yuta's expression gradually became serious as he said worriedly,"Cheng Sang, this field trip is really helpless. It's very dangerous. As long as you don't let the other party see through you and bring him to the safe house, you can do whatever you want. Safety was the priority. Even a Shanghai station chief couldn't compare to your safety. As long as you don't go now, I won't have any objections.”
Cheng Xiaofeng looked grateful and said solemnly,""Thank you for your care, Director. I will be careful! However, I have to make some arrangements in advance and do my homework.”
" This time, Cheng Sang will be the deputy commander of this operation. Everyone, especially Izu-kun, you must cooperate with Cheng Sang."”
"Ha Yi!"
Wang Xing looked at Cheng Xiaofeng. The clothes on his back were already drenched in sweat.
——————
Cheng Xiaofeng was the same. He had already taken the risk. Just now, Jiamei had already left with the secret message he had written. It was a secret message sent by the Sakura Team according to the frequency, contact method, and receiving time of the underground party. He could only use this method to call the underground party.
He was actually betting on Camille's absolute obedience to him, on his authority in the Sakura Group, on the underground party receiving this secret alarm message, and on the underground party's leader having enough wisdom to deal with this incident.
The message read,'Comrade, due to the traitor's betrayal, the meeting at the horse racing hall tomorrow has been learned by the Japanese. The military police have set a trap. Please try to rescue the special agent of the new Fourth Army. You must continue to maintain this set of secret messages, at least for a while. Otherwise, I will be exposed, comrade.'
He didn't know how the person in charge of the underground party would view this secret police call.
He didn't know how much risk this secret message would bring him.
This was because the communications team would receive this secret message, and they knew that the ears of the communications team's eavesdroppers could distinguish the finger method of this transmission.
He still didn't know who the traitor was. If the traitor was the one who sent and received the telegram, he would be completely exposed. If the traitor was the liaison, there might be a chance to save him.
However, he still had to take a gamble because he owed the underground party and the special agent who had sacrificed himself.
Who knew that things would take a turn for the better in an instant? He would become the fake 'track' of the Special Higher Police and could head to the scene. The risk he took just now seemed a little rash. If his teacher was here, he would definitely criticize him again. However, would he still have the chance to listen to his teacher's teachings?
Seeing the wet stain on Wang Xing's back, Cheng Xiaofeng smiled. He knew that the old fox's wishful thinking had failed this time. This old fox would be suffering in his heart for the rest of the day.

It was time for the middle shift of the traffic class to get off work. Because they had to rest tomorrow, the girls were chattering about tomorrow's arrangements. Liu Yuexin also joined them. Only Xiao Hong and Sun Liangxiu had their own thoughts and walked at the end.
The car and three-wheeled motorcycle were parked at the door. Even the position was exactly the same as yesterday. The two Japanese youths were still dressed in luxurious clothes.
A little girl ran over from the opposite side. It was Sister Sun's daughter, Yue Yue. She shouted from afar,"Mommy, Mommy!”
Everyone knew this little girl, but they would always watch the family leave from afar. This time, the little girl was obviously very excited about something.
"Running around. Oh right, call me Auntie. This is Auntie Xiao Hong and Auntie Xin Xin.”
"Hello, Auntie! Auntie Xiaohong, Auntie Xinxin, my mother always mentions you two.”
Liu Yuexin and Xiaohong bent over. Xiaohong asked Yueyue,"Is that so? Yue Yue, what did your mother say about Auntie? Quickly tell Auntie about it."
"Mom said that Auntie Xiao Hong is the most fashionable, a modern girl.”
Everyone laughed. Even the two Japanese young men couldn't help but laugh.
"Alright, I said that your Auntie Xiao Hong is pretty!”
"Well, yes, Mom, Dad promised to go to the races tomorrow!”
"Yue Yue, can Auntie Xiao Hong go too?" Xiao Hong continued to ask.”
Yue Yue clapped her hands and said happily,"Okay, okay. Auntie Xin Xin will go too, okay?"”
Liu Yuexin's heart skipped a beat and she replied,"Alright, let's go together."
"Yueyue, can Uncle go too?"”
Yue Yue looked at the handsome man in a suit and leather shoes in front of her. Her heart was filled with good feelings, but she did not answer. Instead, she hid beside Sun Liangxiu.
"Alright, Yue Yue, let's go!" Sun Liangxiu held her daughter's hand. She was not interested in this rich Japanese young master in front of her.
Kondo Tomie smiled awkwardly."Everyone, let's go watch the horse race tomorrow. I'll pay for the tickets, popcorn, and soda.”
"Alright!" The rest of the sisters were familiar with Kondo Tomie and joined in the jeering.
"We'll buy our own tickets," Liu Yuexin said angrily. Xiao Hong, Sister Sun, and all the other sisters, let's meet at the bell tower at one o'clock tomorrow afternoon. We'll buy our own tickets.”
After saying that, he ignored the people who were looking at each other. He waved his hand and called a rickshaw and left.
——————
Sun Liangxiu sat on the back seat of the bicycle with her arms around her husband's waist. She listened to her husband and daughter discussing what they should prepare for tomorrow's horse race. From time to time, she would respond to her daughter's questions with a 'hmm.'
This was the first time she had seen Liu Yuexin so angry. These days, that elegant rich young master came every day, no matter the weather. Ordinary women would have been captured long ago, but this Liu Yuexin really had a backbone. Perhaps the master behind her was what she liked.
When Sun Liangxiu thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh. Wasn't he the same when he was at this age?
After returning home and calming the overly excited Yueyue to sleep, the couple entered the bedroom.
Sun Liangxiu lowered her voice and said," Why did you agree to let the child watch the horse race? The tickets are very expensive. Also, don't we have to meet with the organization tomorrow?"”
Ke Zhendong smiled and said," We'll meet tomorrow morning and watch the horse race in the afternoon. It won't be delayed. Besides, we should take the children out to play."”
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Tonight, I'll sort out the call records of the Japanese headquarters in Shanghai, the gendarmerie, the Special Higher Police, and some important departments. Recently, there have been some problems in the traffic department. I don't know if I should report it to the organization.”
"Is it that Liu Yuexin you mentioned before who is practicing in secret?”
"Yes, this girl who just graduated has a recommendation letter from a Japanese spy. She has become more and more proficient in her finger technique these days, and she doesn't need a password book. That Xiao Hong has been a little mysterious recently. I suspect that she has the support of the Central Committee. There are problems with her family. Also, in the past week, the two of them had been very close to two Japanese men. I want the organization to investigate their background.”
"Alright, if they are from the Japanese intelligence agency or the Central Committee, then we really have to be extra careful.”
"Don't worry, Xiao Hong is still young and inexperienced. Liu Yuexin has just stepped into the Dao. They're all going to watch the horse race tomorrow. You can also observe them.”
"They're going too? Alright, I also want to see if I can see their background.”
"That Wang Xing has already returned to the Special Higher Police. Recently, the Special Higher Police seems to be planning something. Yesterday, there was a car accident at the entrance of the Special Higher Police. It was very loud. At that time, the cars in the courtyard of the Special Higher Police were all starting up. However, these were all groundless rumors. If the leader had the time, he would talk about it.”
"Alright, you've worked hard. The organization's arrangement is reasonable to place an eye and ear in the telephone traffic department.”
“......”

April 24th, Sunday. The weather was fine.
After the initial panic of the war and the initial chaos, Shanghai's 'isolated island' welcomed an abnormal prosperity. A large number of companies were opening and a large number of factories were being built. Many foreigners 'capital had fled from the war-torn cities of China and moved to this paradise for adventurers, bringing about a new round of economic growth.
The racecourses, which originated from foreign countries, had been developed unprecedentedly. The Shanghai Horse Racing Association cooperated with various betting companies to launch various lottery tickets. Among them, champagne tickets were the most famous. Each champagne ticket was priced at 10 yuan. There were different prizes such as the first prize, second prize, and third prize. The first prize could be 100,000 yuan at first, then increased to 150,000 yuan, and finally increased to 224,000 yuan. It was difficult for anyone to resist the temptation of getting rich overnight.
At first, only foreigners were allowed to enter the racecourses. Later, it was opened to Shanghai residents and became an important place for middle and upper class people to socialize and relax. There were thousands of Shanghai celebrities gathered here. The people in the stands controlled 80% of Shanghai Bund's wealth.
It was a waste of time to come to the horse racing hall without buying a lottery ticket. After buying a ticket, one would be embarrassed to enter the hall without going to the lottery hall. Entering the lottery hall was like entering the upper economic circle of Shanghai. Especially for ordinary Shanghai residents, buying a lottery ticket was the closest contact with the rich class in Shanghai. It could satisfy a short imagination and vanity, and it was also the capital to show off in the neighborhood.
Wealth was right in front of them, and opportunities were equal. Before the competition, everyone had the possibility of becoming a rich man.
The lottery hall was noisy and noisy. In front of the results of the week's preliminaries and the rankings of the previous years, people surged. Some old gamblers were doing their final analysis and were unwilling to place their bets.
In the crowd, the girls in the traffic class were chattering because everyone had bought a lottery ticket and were arguing about which horse to choose. There would be nine horses in each of the three races, and the first, second, and third place would be chosen. To choose nine horses out of twenty-seven, and to choose all of them in the right place, was indeed a great fortune.
Just as the sisters were about to break down, they heard someone greet them from behind."Miss Liu, Miss Xiao Hong, what a coincidence to meet you here.”
Liu Yuexin and Xiao Hong looked back and saw Yamamoto Kenzo standing behind him like a gentleman. Behind him were Kondo Tomie and Daisuke Ozaki, who was carrying binoculars.
Xiao Hong looked at Daisuke Ozaki and said with an unfriendly expression,""Mr. Yamamoto, what coincidence? Why did Ozaki-kun follow you here?”
Yamamoto Kenzo shrugged and said innocently,""The two of them are actually sincere and have the spirit of breaking through metal and stone. They hope to obtain the favor of the two young ladies.”
Liu Yuexin looked at the two people behind her and said calmly,"Mr. Yamamoto, if you want to speak up for your two friends, then you can. You don't study economics or finance, so show some sincerity and help us choose a lottery ticket. If we win, we can consider it.”
The sisters said in unison,"Yeah, I'll only consider it if I win the lottery, haha.”
Yamamoto Kenzo stared at Liu Yuexin for a while and said helplessly,""No matter what, you're my junior sister. How about this? It's impossible to win a compound lottery. I'll recommend the top three of a certain competition. I can't say for sure about the rankings, but if I win the third prize, will you be satisfied? Of course, if we lose, the money will be on us.”
The sisters were dumbfounded. Little Red sneered and said,"Third prize? Alright, you said it! Give me the money!"
Yamamoto Kenzo frowned and pretended to be distressed as he took out 10 yuan and handed it to Liu Yuexin, saying,"You have to keep your word. This is Miyamoto and Ozaki's kind intentions.”
Xiao Hong took out the money first and waved it in front of her sisters. Then, she squeezed into the lottery window under the crowd of sisters.
" Yamamoto," Kondo Tomie asked in confusion," there are too many accidents in the steeplechase. Also, these horses didn't do well in the preliminaries. Are you confident?"”
Yamamoto Kenzo smiled and said," I've seen the preliminaries. I know what the dealer means. There are many accidents in the obstacle course. Only then will the dealer have the chance to operate."”
Daisuke Ozaki had admired Yamamoto Kenzo from the bottom of his heart ever since he lost to him in a fight. This time, he also believed him and squeezed into the lottery window.
Liu Yuexin added fuel to the fire in real time and gathered so many people to come to the horse racing hall. It was a good way to cover up her true purpose. When the three Japanese appeared, she felt even more at ease. With another layer of cover, she would definitely be able to pass the next test.
