Chapter 589: Lian's Old House (asking for a monthly ticket)

In the safe house at Shanghai Station, Wang Hanmin was discussing details of the action with Duan Tiecheng.

"Brother Tiecheng, I have investigated the history of this library building through the inside line these days. This building was located in the center of the Japanese gathering area at that time. It was designed and built by the Japanese. It was originally just a library. If we want to know the architectural structure and room layout in it in detail, there should be two ways.

First, we can search in the Shanghai Engineering Bureau. This building is not a military unit. The drawings should not be confidential. If you are lucky, you should be able to find them.

The second is to find the staff who worked in this library before and learn from them. According to our investigation, all the staff of this library were dismissed before the war in the Songhu War. Later, the end of the war, the library was idle and the original staff was not recruited. Most of them were scattered in Shanghai. I have found two names."

After saying that, Wang Hanmin handed a piece of paper in front of Duan Tiecheng, and then introduced: "Kenda Hashimoto, the former library administrator, is now a clerk at the Japanese Akai Trading Company, and Taiso Kurahara, the former library cleaner, is now a waiter in a Japanese pastry shop. Both of them should know the layout of the room in this book building."

Duan Tiecheng took the paper and looked carefully, nodded and said, "Very good, now the internal structure of the library is in place. Next, we need to find out how many guards there are in the building? How are the distribution? How are the alert work arranged?"

When Wang Hanmin heard this, his head was too big. His intelligence ability really could not meet Duan Tiecheng's requirements. Now this book building is full of special agents from the special high school courses. He could not reach him at all, and he could not reach his inside line at all. This was completely beyond his ability.

He sighed and said in a deep voice: "Brother Tiecheng, I really can't find out this situation. The Japanese guarded there tightly. I really have no channel to understand these. You must understand my suffering."

Although Duan Tiecheng is a specialist sent by the headquarters and has a higher position than Wang Hanmin and is in charge of the entire action plan, the specific situation is indeed difficult and Wang Hanmin is powerless.

Duan Tiecheng couldn't help but frown. He knew that Wang Hanmin was telling the truth, but if this operation failed, he and Wang Hanmin would have to accept severe disposal. With the strictness of the bureau, it would be impossible for him to be ruthless. Maybe it would be Zheng Hongbo's fate, so he had to do his best.

If you don’t understand the situation clearly now, mistakes will inevitably occur during action. For intelligence work, details are the key to success or failure. Even a little negligence may lead to failure of the action.

"Hanmin, it's not that I force you, but I don't understand these situations clearly. How do we carry out our actions? How many people will I send? When will I take action? Where can I find these fiat coins with so many rooms? Our actions cannot be delayed at all. We must hit one blow. If we are slow, we will fall into the siege. Hanmin, we have no way out!" Duan Tiei said earnestly.

Wang Hanmin looked at Duan Tiecheng's gaze and swallowed the words he wanted to argue. They really had no way out. If such a major action fails, what is waiting for him to wait for is either the Japanese gun or the sanctions of the bureau!

"Okay!" Wang Hanmin agreed dejectedly.

"There are always more difficult methods than difficulties. Are these Japanese agents just iron-clad? They will definitely contact outsiders, such as how to solve the problem of eating? How to solve their accommodation problems? How to deal with their garbage? How to purchase the materials they forged? You can do some articles! If you want to do your work in detail, you can always think of some solutions!" Duan Tiecheng said softly. His experience is indeed very rich. He put forward several ideas in a row, which made Wang Hanmin's eyes lit up.

"Okay, I'll think of another way. Give me a few more days." Wang Hanmin said.

After Sun Xin safely sent Gan Mingxuan back to the safe house, he immediately reported the matter to Wang Hanmin.

Wang Hanmin was already having a headache about the case of destroying fiat currency. Now, when he heard Sun Xin's report, he couldn't help but feel very annoyed. Gan Mingxuan, the eldest son, was arrogant and had trouble when he walked there. It seemed that he had to complete this task earlier and send the eldest son away quickly to avoid causing any trouble.

He immediately called Director of Intelligence Guan Han over.

"How is the investigation in the old house of Lian Family? The matter can't be delayed anymore. This Grand Master Gan is too capable of causing trouble and must be sent away quickly." Wang Hanmin rubbed his cheeks and said helplessly.

Guan Han quickly replied: "The general situation has been investigated clearly. The Lian family's old house was previously a Japanese businessman named Hiroshi Imakawa. However, a few days ago, Hiroshi Imakawa was captured by the Japanese military police. Later, I heard that he was tortured to death, and all his property was taken over by the Japanese Fujiwara Company."

"Fujiwara Club?" Wang Hanmin asked strangely. Although he didn't have much contact with the business community in Shanghai, he often heard this name.

"Yes, Fujiwara Club, this chamber of commerce is the most powerful company among the Japanese chambers of commerce. Its president Tomohito Fujiwara is a top Japanese aristocrat and a child of the Fujiwara family. It is said that he has a very deep background in the Japanese military and has a ruthless way of doing things. During this period, he has also annexed some small chambers of commerce to expand his strength. I guess Hiroshi Imakawa offended Fujiwara Club and was captured by the Japanese military police headquarters, resulting in the destruction of his family."

When Wang Hanmin heard this, he sighed and nodded, "That's good. As long as it has nothing to do with this batch of property, our next action can be carried out."

He has always been worried that the Japanese would find the property buried in this residence. If so, everything would be empty.

"Later, Fujiwara Club reselled the house and was finally purchased by the cloth merchant Su Gaoyang. I went to bribe the city government and checked it. The transaction price was very cheap, which was 14,000 US dollars."

"This price is not high. It seems that our budget can be reduced a little!" Wang Hanmin nodded and said.

In the city of Shanghai, it would normally cost at least nearly 20,000 US dollars to buy such a large house, but the price of the other party taking over is indeed not high, and there is much more room for negotiation on the price.

"It's not high. We have investigated Su Gaoyang. His shop business in the city is not good, so it can only be considered ordinary. If we can pay more, I believe we can get it smoothly. Webmaster, if you agree, I will go to the talk tomorrow." Guan Han asked for instructions.

"Su Gaoyang?" Wang Hanmin thought for a moment, "This person is really not a problem. Will he have some involvement with the Japanese if he can buy this house from Fujiwara Club at such a price?"

The biggest advantage of Wang Hanmin is his caution. He is accustomed to everything. Although this habit has lost many opportunities, it also allows him to come to this day safely.

Guan Han shook his head and explained: "I checked it. Fujiwara Club has swallowed seven properties this time, all of which are the industries of the Imakawa Chamber of Commerce and the Yasuda Chamber of Commerce in Japan. However, they were sold soon and the transaction prices were not high. This is not an individual phenomenon. I think Fujiwara Club needs a lot of activity funds and invests them in commercial operations. It does not value real estate. I personally think that there is no problem with Su Gaoyang, so we can contact it."

This explanation finally made Wang Hanmin feel relieved. He nodded and agreed: "Okay, you have investigated very carefully. Just do what you said. Get in touch immediately and take down this house as soon as possible."

"Yes, I'll go and get in touch right away!" Guan Han nodded and agreed.

The next day, a man in a suit and ties knocked on the door in the old house of Lianjia in downtown Shanghai.

The concierge opened the door, looked at the man, and asked, "Sir, what's wrong?"

"I'm Lian Jingtian, if you have something to ask for a meeting with Boss Su, this is a famous post!" The man handed the famous post to the doorman.

"Please wait!" The concierge took the famous post, turned around and walked quickly into the room. After a while, he came back and invited Guan Jingtian into the living room.

Su Gaoyang was quietly waiting for Guan Jingtian to arrive in the living room. He looked at the famous post in his hand and was surprised that he had no connection with him in the city of Shanghai. The identity of this cloth merchant was also used for cover. Now that someone came to him, what would happen?

Lian Jingtian, that is, Guan Han from the Shanghai Station Information Department, arrived at the living room, and the servant brought tea and retreated. The two of them sat opposite each other. Su Gaoyang looked at the famous post in his hand and asked, "Is it Mr. Lian?"

"It's me!" Guan Han nodded in agreement with a smile.

"I wonder Mr. Lian, what's the point of visiting this time?"

Guan Han bowed and said with a smile: "That's right. This house is the ancestral home of my Lian family. The former owner Lian Liangchou was my uncle. A year ago, he died of Japanese bombing. Our whole family fled Shanghai and left two old servants to guard the house. However, this Japanese Hiroshi Imakawa was too domineering and directly occupied the house. We wanted to take back this house and negotiated with him several times, but there was no result. We almost got into trouble. This was not the two days ago when we heard that the bastard was in trouble. Now that he is dead, the house has been handed over to Boss Su. I came to the door rashly today just to talk to you. After all, this is the ancestral home of my Lian family. I want to buy this house from your hands. I hope Boss Su will understand my hard work and will definitely make it happen."
