"Old Tan, you called me here not just to have a bowl of mutton offal, right?"

Han Shusen, who followed Lao Tan to the mutton offal shop, looked at Lao Tan who seemed to be smiling opposite him and asked lightly.

Old Tan did not answer immediately, but looked at Han Shusen for a long time with a smile. That look made Han Shusen feel that there was something wrong with Old Tan today.

"You went to Yichunyuan not just to find women to relieve your boredom, right?" He asked first, and then Old Tan said affirmatively: "You have other things to do."

Han Shusen pretended to be confused: "What are you talking about? Why would you go to that kind of place if you don't want to find a woman? Don't listen to the nonsense the people in the police station say. Although I am old, I am in good health and not weak at all."

Old Tan smiled, and this time even his eyes were smiling: "Old Han, do you really have to let me explain something to you?"

"I don't understand what you mean. Is there any problem with going to Yichunyuan?"

Old Tan chuckled, "That's not the case. He left his wife alone and talked to an old brothel owner in the next room. It's totally unreasonable."

Han Shusen's face darkened. He stared at Lao Tan and asked, "What's wrong? Is it a taboo?"

Seeing Han Shusen's expression, Old Tan's smile widened: "Okay, Han Peijun, do you still remember the name Han Shusen?"

Han Shusen's current name to the public is Han Peijun. When Old Tan suddenly called out his real name, Han Shusen was stunned.

"Who are you?"

"An old friend."

"Old friend?" Han Shusen asked back, but he stood up involuntarily. Today's Old Tan gave him an unpredictable feeling. He knew that he should not continue to have a deep conversation with this Old Tan who he could not tell whether he was a human or a ghost.

Since someone knows my real name, it means it's time for me to leave. Just like I urged Lao He to leave before, the most important thing I should do now is to leave Tianjin immediately.

"I don't have an old friend like you, and I don't have time to chat with you." Han Shusen said, and wanted to leave.

Old Tan did not stand up to stop him. He just looked at the table in front of him and said calmly, "You studied architecture at the University of Tokyo, and after returning to China, you worked in the Beijing City Planning Office."

Han Shusen stopped and turned to stare at Lao Tan.

As if sensing Han Shusen's gaze, Old Tan slowly raised his head and looked at Han Shusen with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. The Central Party Affairs Investigation Office can check anyone's files. You gave up a good job and insisted on coming to Tianjin French Concession to be a patrolman. Old Han, do you think this is normal?"

After saying that, Lao Tan made a gesture of invitation to the stool opposite.

What does Lao Tan mean? The Central Party Affairs Investigation Office! Isn't that the largest intelligence agency of the Nanjing government that has now merged with the Fuxing Society's Secret Service to form the Military Control Commission? Lao Tan is a member of the Military Control Commission! ?

Confused, Han Shusen slowly returned to the table and sat down. He looked at Lao Tan and asked, "Who are you and what do you want to do?"

"You are an underground party member, right?" Old Tan asked instead of answering.

Han Shusen's pupils contracted, and then he slowly pulled out the pistol from his waist with his hand under the table.

The Central Party Affairs Investigation Office is not a friend to Han Shusen.

Old Tan glanced at the table, as if he could see Han Shusen's little movements through the wooden board, then he looked up at Han Shusen and said with a smile: "I didn't plan to do anything, I just wanted to catch up with my old classmates. Fan Jianghai, you won't forget me, right? I am."

"Fan Jianghai? You! Are you kidding me! How could you be Fan Jianghai!" Han Shusen looked at Old Tan's twitching mouth and said with disbelief.

"If a person wants to change his or her appearance, there are still many ways to do it. In addition, you won't forget Takeda Hirokazu, who is now in the Intelligence Department of the Japanese Garrison Army."

As he spoke, Lao Tan took out a photo from his pocket and placed it on the table.

Han Shusen picked up the photo and looked at it with a look of shock and confusion, then looked up at Lao Tan.

He and Fan Jianghai once went to study abroad at a Japanese university together, during which time he met a Japanese student named Takeda Koichi, and the three of them even became good friends for a time.

The photo that Lao Tan took out now was also the last commemoration left before the three of them parted.

Now that the photo appears in Lao Tan's hands, it means that the Lao Tan in front of him might really be his former classmate and good friend Fan Jianghai.

"You are really Fan Jianghai!" Han Shusen's surprised tone this time was genuine. How could he not know Fan Jianghai? He was nothing like Old Tan.

Old Tan smiled particularly brightly, as if he was very happy to have his old classmate surprised.

"How did you become like this!" Han Shusen used to have frequent contact with Old Tan, but he never thought much about Fan Jianghai. Now, seeing Old Tan's brilliant smile like Fan Jianghai's when he was young, he finally believed that the man sitting in front of him whose mouth corners were often twitching due to a stroke was his old classmate Fan Jianghai.

"Just like you, to lie in wait and fight against the Japanese." After explaining casually, Old Tan reached out and took back the photo on the table.

Han Shusen took a deep breath, looked at Lao Tan and asked, "Are you from the Military Control Commission?"

Old Tan smiled and nodded.

"When Takeda Hirokazu arrived in Tianjin a month ago, was it your people who went to assassinate him?"

Old Tan continued to nod.

Han Shusen's face became serious. "You are in big trouble. You and I should know Takeda Hirokazu's character. He is not someone who is easy to deal with. If we alert the enemy, he will definitely investigate thoroughly."

Old Tan smiled indifferently and then said, "It is indeed a bit troublesome, but your underground party is in even bigger trouble right now. Just now, several spies were following you."

"Then why did you come to me? Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

"I don't want to see my old classmate die like this. I helped you deal with the two spies who were following you, but since they are following you, it means you have been targeted. You should hide or leave Tianjin directly."

Han Shusen stared at Lao Tan and asked with a complicated look, "Why are you helping me?"

"Old Han, Tianjin has been occupied by the Japanese now. Our good friend Takeda Hirokazu is here too. They are all our common enemies. Old classmates, I hope we can cooperate and use our respective systems to transmit information in the future." Old Tan stated his purpose.

Seeing that Lao Tan was sincere, Han Shusen was touched. "I am very happy and grateful that you thought of coming to talk with me today and even helped me with the tail. However, we need to join forces to fight against Japan. I need to report to my superiors and can only cooperate with you after obtaining their consent."

After saying this, Han Shusen stood up.

At this moment, Old Tan on the opposite side also stood up suddenly, with his head lowered and an unknown expression on his face.

Han Shusen was stunned, and then he thought of his old classmate's character of never giving up until he achieved his goal. Also, now that the other party had revealed his identity to him, and he did not immediately agree to the other party's request for cooperation, his old classmate might have already intended to kill him to silence him.

Then, Han Shusen thought of what Lao Tan said about someone following him, and then he said with some relief: "Old classmate, if you want to take action, do it now. I don't want my old classmate to shoot me in the back."

Hearing what Han Shusen said, Old Tan suddenly looked up, his eyes slightly red, and the sharp bamboo piece in his palm broke and fell to the ground.

"You should leave quickly. The two spies I killed will be discovered soon. We can talk about cooperation later."

Han Shusen felt a little sore in his eyes as he looked at his old classmate sitting opposite him. They were once such good classmates, but now they are walking on different paths, and may even be fighting each other for life and death. He felt mixed emotions.

Without saying anything else, Han Shusen left.

Seeing Han Shusen walking away, Lao Tan slowly walked in the opposite direction of Han Shusen.

Along the way, Old Tan kept his head down, recalling the experiences he and Han Shusen had when they were studying in Japan. Sometimes he smiled, and sometimes he looked lost and confused.

He had walked less than 500 meters when suddenly, Lao Tan heard gunshots coming from far away on the street behind him.

"Oh no! Old Han is in danger!"

Without thinking, Lao Tan turned around and hid in the shadows on the street, then ran towards the direction where the gunshots came from.

. . . . . . . . .

Military Police Headquarters, Special High Section.

Maruno Ichiro had just told Itai Yudai and Nanzō Yunko what Yamada had reported when the phone in the office rang.

Nanzō Yunko picked up the phone and was about to speak when she heard a series of rapid Japanese words coming from the phone.

"Section Chief, I just received a secret report that the Maochuan Mansion is mobilized in large numbers tonight and is searching various concessions.

Especially in the French Concession, according to reliable information, the action team of Maochuan Mansion had several gun battles with the people, and even the French have been alarmed. The police are working together and are said to be trying to drive away the action team of Maochuan Mansion. "

The night outside the window was quiet, but Nanzō Yunko's face suddenly brightened after hearing the news.

"Increase surveillance on Shigekawa Mansion and report any news immediately." After giving instructions, Nanzō Yunko hung up the phone.

Turning around, he saw Itai Yudai and Maruno Ichiro still looking at him, and couldn't help but chuckle, "Itai-kun, I think we should go back and have a good rest. We have a lot of things to do tomorrow, don't you think?"

Upon hearing this, Itai Yudai glanced at the lounge next to the office, swallowed his saliva and said, "We? Miss Yunzi wants to invite me to sleep with you?"

Ichiro Maruno on the side looked at Itai Yudai in surprise, wondering in his heart how could this man be so brave? Didn't he know that Nanzō Yunko might be the general's man?

"I would like to do that, but I don't know if Itai-kun has the courage to do it."

After Ichiro Maruno bowed awkwardly, he quickly said, "If everything is fine, I'll go back." Then he prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, Itai Yudai immediately took two quick steps, put his arm around Maruno Ichiro's shoulders, turned around and said to Nanzō Yunko who was standing at the door of the lounge and winking at him, "Maruno-kun and I still have something to discuss. Let's forget about it today. See you tomorrow, Yunko."

"Hmph." Nanzō Yunko rolled her eyes at Itai Yudai, then went in and closed the door.

Itai Yudai smiled awkwardly, then punched Maruno Ichiro in the abdomen, who was smiling like an auntie, and then hugged his arm and left Nanzō Yunko's office: "Let's go meet Yamada. I don't know what he is doing in Shigekawa Mansion. It's been so long, and those people in Shigekawa Mansion haven't learned what respect is. How dare they act on their own!"
