Chapter 631 Hideout
For several days, in addition to working at the municipal government, Yuan Ye would also stay at No. 76. During this period, he and Tokugawa Mitsuko also went to the Plum Agency to teach Yingzuo Zhenzhao calligraphy and Go. Everything seemed so calm.
Yuan Ye arrived at the city government early in the morning. Just as he sat in the office for a while, the phone on the desk rang. It was Gu Yan calling, asking him to come to the company.
Yuan Ye had a bad feeling in his heart. When he arrived at Hengyuan Trading Company, Gu Yan, with a heavy face, handed him a telegram and whispered:
"Something happened at Shanghai Station again."
Yuan Ye frowned and quickly took it to have a look. The telegram was sent by Wang Tianwang, saying that eight technicians were captured by spies in their hiding place in the French Concession last night. He hoped that Yuan Ye could help to find out the news and he would find a way to get them back.
Wang Tianwang only received the news this morning that No. 76 raided the technicians' hiding place last night and captured all the technicians.
He was shocked. How did No. 76 know the technician's hiding place?
The small building was very remote and few people knew about it. In order to avoid any further complications, he planned to transfer these technicians out of Shanghai the next day, but something unexpected happened.
It stands to reason that No. 76 should not be able to find this place, and the technician is locked in the building and cannot go out at all. Could it be that someone leaked the information?
The incident happened suddenly, and Wang Tianwang was confused for a moment. He was in a state of panic. How could he report this to headquarters? The director had high hopes for him, but he had messed it up.
He knew that the only way now was to ask Yuan Ye for help, find out the situation, and then find a way to get the technician back.
He did not report to the headquarters immediately, but sent a telegram to Yuan Ye to see the situation first.
If Yuan Ye is also unable to do anything, he can only report to the headquarters.
Yuan Ye read the message and could sense Wang Tianwang's anxiety. Shanghai Station was facing a difficult time, and Wang Tianwang was having a hard time. How could he not be anxious? Now that he had come to him for help, how could he not help?
In fact, even if Wang Tianwang didn't say anything, he would not stand idly by if he knew about it. He would find a way to solve the problem while ensuring his own safety, unless he was really powerless.
How did No. 76 find these technicians? Did Xiang Shoushi's men find the place? Or did someone at Shanghai Station leak the information? He could only guess. There was no way to confirm it yet. He could only go to No. 76 to find out the situation.
Before leaving, he asked Gu Yan to send a telegram to Wang Tianwang, telling him not to worry and that he would find a way to figure out the situation.
Yuan Ye immediately drove to No. 76 and arrived at Li Qunshi's office. Li Qunshi and Xiang Shoushi were sitting there, both looking very happy.
Yuan Ye smiled deliberately and said:
"Director Li, seeing you like this, is there something good? Tell me and it will make me happy."
After Yuan Ye finished speaking, he immediately activated his ability to eavesdrop on other people's thoughts.
"It's really good news, Special Envoy, did you know that we snatched those technicians back from the Military Control Commission last night?"
"Really? Congratulations, Director Li."
Yuan Ye also looked very happy, and said to Xiang Shoushi:
"It must have been someone sent by Director Xiang who found those technicians. Director Xiang is quite capable, worthy of being a senior member of the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station."
Unexpectedly, Xiang Shoushi waved his hands hurriedly and said:
"Special Envoy, I'm sorry to disappoint you. It wasn't my people who found it."
Yuan Ye pretended to be curious and asked:
"That's strange. If you didn't find it, then who did?"
Yuan Ye already had the answer in his mind, there must be a traitor at the Shanghai station.
Li Qunshi smiled and said:
"It's true that it wasn't Director Xiang's people who found it, but Director Xiang played a very important role."
"How do you say this?"
Yuan Ye was a little confused.
Li Qunshi explained:
"Special Commissioner, do you remember? I wrote a letter to Director Xiang to persuade him to surrender and published it in the newspaper. I didn't expect it to work. Director Xiang had a subordinate who participated in the operation to transfer the technicians from Shanghai Station and knew where these technicians were hiding.
He saw the revelation and decided to join Director Xiang. He secretly called Director Xiang and told him the hiding place of these technicians. So I had Wu Shibao lead a group to raid there overnight, captured the technicians, and killed three members of the Military Control Commission who were guarding there.
Li Qunshi felt that it was okay to tell the special envoy these things, but he did not tell the special envoy who the person who surrendered was?
This man named Yan Mingcheng originally wanted to leave the Military Control Commission Shanghai Station and go to No. 76 immediately after making the phone call, but Xiang Shoushi disagreed and persuaded him to continue to hide and return to No. 76 after finding an opportunity to wipe out the Shanghai Station.
Li Qunshi felt that there was no need to tell this to the special envoy for the time being. He didn't even tell Nanyun Masako. At this stage, the fewer people who knew about it, the better. Xiang Shoushi also thought so, and it was something they had discussed together.
But his inner thoughts did not escape Yuan Ye's ears, and he was surprised. Isn't this Yan Mingcheng the owner of the Sihai Pharmacy whom he rescued?
I didn't expect this guy to become a traitor, but there is nothing to regret. Under the circumstances at that time, I must save him. Besides, there is no way to rescue Nurse Zhang and Doctor Li if I don't save him.
I don’t know if these three people are still in the safe house I provided. I have never been there since I sent them there.
Afterwards, he informed Wang Tianwang, who might let them hide there temporarily. Considering that the Shanghai station had just been hit, many people had to move to new safe houses, and the number of safe houses must be very limited, so it was very likely that they would stay there temporarily.
If the three were still there, Nurse Zhang and Doctor Li would be in danger, because Yan Mingcheng must have told Xiang Shoushi about this safe house.
However, Yuan Ye felt that No. 76 would not arrest Nurse Zhang and Doctor Li now, but it was hard to say in the future. He still needed to go and take a look. If the three people were still living there, Xiang Shoushi would probably send someone to monitor them. He would then act accordingly.
Yuan Ye thought about this and nodded:
"In that case, capturing these technicians is indeed of great help to the Director. Just in case, we should quickly transfer these technicians to the Special Higher Section."
The reason he said this was that he was worried that Li Qunshi had handed these technicians over to the Japanese, because he did not find these eight technicians in No. 76 through listening.
If Li Qunshi had already handed these technicians over to the Japanese, it would be difficult to rescue them.
"Yes, I think so too. I have already reported this to Section Chief Nanyun, and Section Chief Nanyun has also notified the Ume Agency. The Ume Agency said they will send someone to take the person away tomorrow."
Yuan Ye felt a little relieved. It seemed that these technicians were still in the hands of No. 76, but they were not detained here, but in another place.
Yuan Ye had already guessed where these people were being held.
