Spy Wars: As long as I'm subtle enough, no one will doubt me

The next day, it was chilly in spring.

The four seasons in the Northeast are not as distinct as those in the South.

After this period of "late spring cold", summer will come.

The graceful Xu Zhiqing was wrapped in a shawl, and was accompanied by Zhang Mengting, who was also dressed very formally.

The two arrived at the Manchukuo Imperial Palace and met the last empress, Wanting, in the capacity of the wife of the Prime Minister of Manchukuo.

Originally, when the guard Li Kun came out and heard that she was the Prime Minister's concubine, he was about to send her away without saying anything.

"The Queen doesn't have time! You guys go back!" Li Kunyi said angrily.

Xu Zhiqing, however, is well-educated and capable of handling affairs.

He took out a small yellow croaker from his sleeve and handed it to Li Kun.

Li Kun took the small yellow croaker and took a bite, smiling: "Okay, wait a minute, what's going on?"

Zhang Mengting was standing next to him, and she wanted to say it was Chief Liu's business...

However, he was interrupted by Xu Zhiqing raising her hand.

Xu Zhiqing bowed to Li Kun gracefully and said, "I heard that the Queen has benefited the people and has made great contributions. It is a cold spring day, and I am not good at handwork, so I made a few shawls for the Queen."

It has to be said that Xu Zhiqing was the most capable concubine of Zhang Jinghui, the Prime Minister of the Puppet Manchukuo.

The words are well-spoken and also hide the real purpose.

Because Xu Zhiqing worked at the Manxi Hotel, she met a lot of people and was responsible for entertaining and seeing off guests.

Knowing that Section Chief Liu was taken away by those men in black was no small matter. Before Section Chief Liu left, he deliberately asked her to come to Queen Wanting and bring a message, which might be the words to save her life...

Therefore, Xu Zhiqing saw that the guard Li Kun in front of him was corrupt and did not seem to be a good person.

She thought to herself that she would not tell the truth unless she met Queen Wanting...

After Li Kun went in, Xu Zhiqing and Zhang Mengting were summoned after a while.

The two followed Li Kun and walked into the Manchukuo Imperial Palace. When they saw Wanting, the two women hurriedly bowed to Queen Wanting according to the old customs of the Qing Dynasty.

Xu Zhiqing pretended to take out a shawl from her bag and put it on Wanting's shoulders to try.

But he whispered, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report. Please ask your attendants to leave."

Wanting frowned and glanced sideways at Xu Zhiqing.

Seeing Xu Zhiqing's pretty face, she looked calm and composed, and didn't seem to be pretending.

She opened her cherry lips and said, "Li Kun, you go out first. They are all women, it's not convenient for you to stay here."

Li Kun got some benefits from Xu Zhiqing today, so he smiled and said something, then left.

Seeing that there was no one around, Xu Zhiqing quickly pulled Zhang Mengting down to kneel.

Wanting asked in surprise: "What happened?"

Xu Zhiqing quickly recounted what happened last night: "Section Chief Liu from the Police Department asked me to tell you that he has been captured by the Japanese and that he may not be able to treat your husband in the next few days. This matter is too serious. Section Chief Liu saved my mother and me, so I have to take the risk to come in and tell you the message."

"Chief Liu?" Wanting's heart trembled, and she quickly helped Xu Zhiqing up and asked in detail.

Xu Zhiqing and Zhang Mengting recounted what happened last night in detail.

Wanting was born into a royal family and was well-informed, so she naturally understood why the Japanese were arresting people at this time.

We can't rush this matter. Even if we ask her husband, Fuyi, it might arouse Fuyi's suspicion.

Fuyi seldom believed what women said.

She had to find her best friend, Zhu Runxin's father, Minister Zhu of the Ministry of Commerce, and the first guard Master Huo Qingyun who was far away in Hunchun to pass the message to Fuyi, so that Fuyi would believe it.

Section Chief Liu was still treating her two days ago, but he was arrested last night...

Wan Ting frowned, also worried: "Thank you... Don't let this matter leak out. I need to make a long-term plan, please go back and wait for the news."

"Then we shall take our leave, Queen."

Xu Zhiqing and Zhang Mengting had no choice but to leave the palace.

Zhang Mengting wore an off-white shawl today, which made her skin look even whiter and more delicate.

She placed her delicate hands on her belly, which was completely free of fat, and worried about Liu Long: "Little Mom, do you think Section Chief Liu will be safe?"

Although Xu Zhiqing did not come from a good family, she had a broad perspective and sighed, "Section Chief Liu must have offended the Japanese. I hope the Queen can find a way to save her."

Xu Zhiqing thought for a moment, then took Zhang Mengting's hand and said, "Our master likes you, the apple of his eye, and your brother Mengshi, too. You can encourage him to help. Please ask the master to speak for Chief Liu in front of the emperor. It might be helpful."

Zhang Jinghui has several children, but his favorites are his eldest daughter Zhang Mengting and his youngest son Zhang Mengshi.

Although he had six concubines, he had only one son, Zhang Mengshi, born to the third concubine.

Zhang Mengshi is deeply loved by Zhang Jinghui and is placed with high hopes by him.

This is also the reason why Sixth Concubine Li Cuiwen wanted a son so much.

After studying in Japan for half a year, Zhang Mengshi didn't like Japan very much and returned to Xinjing High School to study.

Zhang Mengting's eyes lit up: "Yes!!! My brother and I can go and beg my dad! Mom, let's go home now!"

"Hey, Mengting, slow down..."

Xu Zhiqing looked at the tender peach blossoms that had just sprouted on the tree and thought to herself, Chief Liu, I hope you are safe...

After spending the weekend here, Chiyo Shizuko went to work at the police department and heard about Yanagi Ryu being arrested.

And there is also Li Fangfei, the external translator of their special agent department.

Chiyo Shizuko was in a bad mood. She walked into the office angrily and called Shanghai using a military phone.

"Hi! Is this teacher? I have something important that I would like to ask for your help."

Chiyo Shizuko suppressed her anger and used honorifics.

"Oh... It's rare that Shizuko is so strong, you need my help with something. Tell me, what is it?"

A lazy, playful and mature female voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Oh, that's the Sansai (teacher)"

Chiyo Shizuko stood up respectfully, explained Liu Long's situation, and said worriedly: "This is the second time he has been investigated internally... Last time I was investigated with him, and I know the methods of the Security Bureau. They will torture him into confessing. I'm afraid this time will be more severe..."

The woman over there is Yoshikazu Kawashima, who was famous in the Republic of China and was known as the first female spy.

Yoshio Kawashima had short hair, was about forty years old, and was wearing a bathrobe with her legs crossed on the sofa.

A waiter was doing her nails.

Kawashima looked at the red nails on her fair jade fingers and smiled, "I already know about this. Is this Manchu man important to you?"

Chiyo Shizuko on the other end of the phone blushed, but still mustered up the courage: "Hey! He is very important to me, he... can be considered my lover."

Kawashima Yoshi said disappointedly: "Baga! Have you forgotten what I taught you? How can you be worthy of love in front of the supreme glory of imperialism?!"

Chiyo Shizuko felt aggrieved and didn't say a word.

Kawashima sighed again and said, "The person going to Xinjing for investigation this time is Beichuan Yan, who is known as an intelligence scientist. As far as I know, his interrogation and torture methods are different from others. Don't worry, I will make a phone call for you and ask Beichuan-kun."

Chiyo Shizuko was overjoyed and bowed on the phone: "Thank you so much, teacher!"

Kawashima Fang hung up the phone and snorted: "Love can only blind the eyes of a proud disciple like me..."

This is the underground interrogation room of the Security Bureau.

Just as Kitagawa Hiko had calculated, before even three days had passed, someone among Liu Long and the other three couldn't bear it anymore!

"Wadashiwa has information to report to Lord Yagyu! Let me out quickly!..."

A person knocked hurriedly on the iron door of the small and cramped confinement room.

There was a rumbling sound of iron sheet vibrating.
