Traveling through the Republic of China to become a special agent, the system is very easy for me

Chapter 646 Looking for Zhang Mingchu

Yuan Ye arranged Situ Shang's work, handed him several processed documents to distribute, then left the office and rushed to No. 76.

When he drove to Jessfield Road and passed the alley, he saw a new mark next to the mark he left, and knew that Hu Deping had taken the items out of the mailbox.

When he arrived at Li Qunshi's office, in addition to Li Qunshi, Nan Yun Masako and Xiang Shoushi were also there, and the three were still discussing matters related to the Shanghai station.

Xiang Shoushi had just finished reporting on Yan Mingcheng's situation, but there was still no news about him. Li Qunshi and Nanyun Masako felt that there was basically no hope.

Yan Mingcheng seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, and no one knew whether he was dead or alive. There had been no contact for such a long time, so something must have happened.

Although Nanyun Masako was a little disappointed, she did not seem to give up. She said coldly:

"Director Xiang, as a senior member of the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station, you should be very familiar with the Shanghai Station. Think carefully about what other methods you can use to deal with the Shanghai Station?"

Masako Nanyun believed that if they wanted to crack the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station, they could only place their hope on Xiang Shoushi.

Xiang Shoushi looked at Nanyun Masako's cold gaze and suddenly felt a great pressure. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"I do have an idea. If we want to crack the Shanghai station and catch Wang Tianwang, the key is to find a person named Zhang Mingchu, the head of the personnel department of the Shanghai station.

As far as I know, he meets with Wang Tianwang almost every one or two days, and this person knows a lot about the Shanghai station's personnel, even more than Wang Tianwang does. Wang Tianwang must have relied heavily on him for this Shanghai station transfer."

Nanyun Masako became interested and asked immediately:

"Do you have any way to find this person named Zhang Mingchu?"

Xiang Shoushi frowned and said:

"There is a way, but there's no guarantee we'll find him. Although we don't know exactly where he lives, it's almost certain he lives in the French Concession or the International Settlement. Because of the nature of his work, he's away from home quite a bit, so this might be our chance.

Meng Xiangming and Hu Deping in my department were middle-level cadres of the former Shanghai Station. They both knew Zhang Mingchu. My idea was to let them each take a group of people to drive around the French Concession and the International Settlement. If we are lucky, we might run into him.

This is the only solution I can think of at the moment. Let's see if it works. Maybe after a while you'll come up with a better solution."

Xiang Shoushi certainly knew Zhang Mingchu, so he would not take the risk and go out to look for him himself. The Military Control Commission was eager to wait for him to go out, and would never give them this opportunity unless it was absolutely necessary.

Yuan Ye was shocked when he heard this. Xiang Shoushi was indeed a big threat. Although the French Concession and the International Settlement were densely populated and large in area, and this method was a bit stupid, it was not impossible to succeed. Who could say for sure?

Hu Deping is one of us, so he shouldn't try so hard and will just pretend. Even if he recognizes Zhang Mingchu, he won't point him out. But it's hard to say about Meng Xiangming. If he meets him, he will most likely point him out. We can't kill him for the time being. Once we kill him when he goes out to look for someone, Nanyun Masako and Li Qunshi are likely to suspect him. After all, there are only a few people who know about it.

He could only remind Wang Tianwang and ask Zhang Mingchu to be careful and try not to go out.

I hope Hu Deping can find an opportunity to poison Xiang Shoushi and get rid of him as soon as possible. This traitor is too familiar with the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station. Maybe, just as he said, he might come up with some new tricks.

Yuan Ye knew that Nanyun Masako and Li Qunshi would definitely agree, so he spoke first:

"I think so. No matter how small the chances of success are, it's better than sitting at home and doing nothing."

Li Qunshi echoed:

"I think the same as the special envoy. If we come across one, we'll make a fortune."

Nanyun Masako nodded and said:

"Until there's no better way, this is the only way. But this time we have to learn from the lesson of Li Zhongfa being killed when he went out to look for the Red Party. We have to be as covert as possible and keep it absolutely confidential. No one else can know except us. We can't tell the people Meng Xiangming and Hu Deping are bringing who they are looking for.

Director Xiang, you must make proper arrangements and avoid any more mistakes."

"I understand, let's make arrangements now."

After Xiang Shoushi finished speaking, he left Li Qunshi's office and returned to his own office. He immediately asked someone to call Meng Xiangming and Hu Deping.

Hu Deping was in his office at the time, talking absentmindedly with several of his subordinates. He was thinking about the order given to him by his superior code-named "Lone Sail", which was how to find an opportunity to put a poisonous insect in Xiang Shoushi's tea.

After he finished his breakfast at No. 76 in the morning, he went out to buy cigarettes. There was a grocery store about 200 meters away from No. 76. On his way to the grocery store, when he passed the alley, he saw a mark on the wall at the corner of the alley. He knew that Gu Fan had put something in the dead mailbox in the alley and asked him to pick it up.

He did not walk into the alley immediately, but continued to walk forward, came to the grocery store, bought cigarettes and walked back. At that time, he confirmed that no one was following him, so he immediately turned into the alley. While no one was paying attention, he quickly pulled out the half brick, took out the things inside and put them in his pocket, then stuffed the brick back and walked towards the alley entrance.

When he reached the alley entrance and saw that no one noticed him, he quickly carved a mark on the wall and immediately returned to No. 76. When he arrived at the dormitory, he closed the door, took out the note and took a look at it. It asked him to put a poisonous insect in Xiang Shoushi's tea. After reading it, he struck a match and lit the note. He waited until the note turned into ashes before leaving the dormitory and going to the office.

He had not been sitting there for long when he heard someone calling him and asking him to go to Xiang Shoushi's office. He was delighted and was thinking about whether there was a chance to put a poisonous insect in Xiang Shoushi's teacup. However, he didn't know yet and would wait and see when he got there.

He immediately rushed to Xiang Shoushi's office. As soon as he arrived, Meng Xiangming followed closely.
