General Kurokawa Masanori, Chief of Staff Oyamada Aki, confidential secretary Fukuyama Masaharu, and fifteen or sixteen other staff officers held a meeting and then began to get busy in the expeditionary force headquarters building.

The phone on General Kurokawa Masanori's desk kept ringing, and he was overwhelmed.

Chief of Staff Aki Oyamada brought a group of staff officers and surrounded the sand table, pointing and gesticulating. They planted a red flag on one hilltop and a green flag on another hilltop. They were very busy and had a lot of fun.

After Jiang Yifan and Miyazaki Longjing had their meal, they put the chicken bones and scraps of meat on a piece of paper that was used to wrap the roast chicken and beef, and threw it out of the window.

Afterwards, Jiang Yifan took Miyazaki Longjing downstairs and came to the door of the building. He looked at the dozen guards and asked:

"What's the situation?"

The guard at the gate, Daishi Mibayashi, looked at Jiang Yifan and Ryuji Miyazaki and stood at attention and replied:

"Report to Chief Shimahashi! Everything is normal, no one is coming in or out."

"Yoshi! Remember! Anyone entering or leaving must be approved." Jiang Yifan ordered loudly again.

"Hayi!"

All the guards at the door answered in unison, standing at attention.

"You, the Special High Section Operations Team, must also take turns on duty at night and conduct patrol inspections. There must be no mistakes."

Jiang Yifan turned around and looked at Miyazaki Longjing and gave the order.

"Hayi!"

Miyazaki Ryui also stood at attention and bowed in response.

Li Qun was extremely anxious in the office. When Osawa Takao and Fujii Muye came to No. 76 and asked about Jiang Yifan's whereabouts, he knew that something must have happened to Shimabashi Shinichi, so he waited for news in the office.

But after waiting for so long, he didn't even get a call. He couldn't help but feel anxious. What happened to Shimahashi Shinichi? Why didn't he let him participate in the investigation?

I believe that this matter is not small and must be related to top secrets. It would be best if the mystery of Shinichi Shimabashi was unveiled. This guy has been riding on my head for too long. If this guy falls, then the whole Shanghai will be completely under my control.

By then, won’t I be able to call the wind and rain, dominate the world, and do whatever I want?

But why doesn't anyone call me?

Just then, the phone on the desk suddenly rang.

"Jingle Bell!"

Li Qun was excited and picked up the phone:

"Hey!"

"Secretary General Li Qun! I am Zhou Fuhai from the Wuhan government! The government is short of funds right now. Please transfer 5 million to us immediately for emergency assistance."

On the phone, Zhou Fuhai gave the order in an unquestionable tone.

Upon hearing this, Li Qun was extremely disappointed. He had waited for a long time, but instead of getting any news about Shinichi Shimabashi, he got a disgusting voice that asked for money. This was really outrageous.

I only have half my life left, which led to this situation today. You Japanese haven't even asked for money yet. Why should I give you money as soon as you ask for it?

Li Qun was holding the phone in his hand, extremely angry, but after all, this was officialdom and this was also work, and he couldn't act on impulse.

He suppressed his anger and said:

"It turns out to be Vice Chairman Zhou! You don't know! I'm facing a lot of difficulties here too!

You also know that everything is difficult at the beginning. I have just started out and I have no clue about anything. The Military Control Commission and the underground party guerrillas have been trying to kill me all day long. They just solved an assassination case against me a few days ago, and before I could even catch my breath, my second battalion was wiped out by the National Salvation Army. Now everything is a mess.

The little bit of tax collected every day is not enough to cover my current expenses, and I really don’t have any extra money to allocate.

Please give me another three months, Vice Chairman Zhou, and I will do my best to help the government solve the experience problem. "

"What? Li Qun! Are you kidding? If we wait another three months, the opportunity will be gone. No way! No matter how difficult it is for you, you must first allocate 5 million. To be honest, this is already the lowest number."

Zhou Fuhai insisted on the phone without giving in.

Li Qun couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. The money was still in his hands, but he dared to be so strong. Didn't he take his words to heart at all?

The more you do this, the less I will give you. If you have the ability, why don't you come to Shanghai to rob? Let's see if you have the ability to take the money from No. 76.

Thinking of this, Li Qun replied with an attitude of a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water:

"Vice Chairman Zhou! What I said is the truth! Why don't you believe it? If you don't trust me, just come to Shanghai to check the accounts. To be honest, I am more anxious than you now!

The current situation is difficult to control. Now that they have the support of the Japanese, these underground guerrillas of the Military Control Commission can be somewhat restrained. If the war officially breaks out again in two days, who knows how chaotic the Japanese-occupied areas will be. "

"You...Okay! Secretary General Li Qun! I won't talk to you anymore. Let the Chairman talk to you himself!"

On the phone, Zhou Fuhai's voice came from a rage that sounded like he was about to explode.

Li Qun was stunned when he heard this, it turned out that Wang Jingwei was right next to him!

Damn it! Why didn’t this damn Zhou Fuhai tell me earlier? Is he trying to use Wang Jingwei to threaten me?

Just as Li Qun was complaining in his heart, Wang Jingwei's voice came:

"Secretary Li! I'm Wang Jingwei. I know your difficulties, but I'm also running out of money. No matter what, you have to find a way to raise this money as soon as possible to help me get through this difficult time."

Li Qun couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He thought about how you didn't consider me when you were deciding on the candidate for Secretary-General. Now that you're in trouble, you actually thought of me. Why did you do that in the first place if you had known this would happen?

But Li Qun still answered respectfully on the phone:

"Mr. Wang! What I just said is the truth. However, since you have said so much, as the Secretary-General of the Cleanup Committee, I have the responsibility and obligation to help you solve your problems.

I really don't have any money right now. To solve the urgent problem, I will first raise 2 million from Shanghai merchants. How about you help me out first?"

"Okay! I'll do as you say, but you have to hurry up and pay the subsequent arrears. Do you hear me?"

Wang Jingwei said almost pleadingly on the phone.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Wang! I will try my best to complete my mission." Li Qun expressed his loyalty into the phone.

"Okay! I'll wait for your good news!" Wang Jingwei said this on the phone and hung up.

Li Qun also put down the phone and couldn't help but let out a long sigh, thinking to himself, if you don't let me become the chairman of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, you will never get the money smoothly.

At this time, Li Qun thought of Shinichi Shimahashi again. Why was there no news yet?

What happened to Shimahashi Shinichi? Was he arrested? Will he be tortured?
