Wang Hanmin brought his men back to the hotel. Soon after, Li Zhiqun also brought men back. The two waved their hands to let their men retreat.

When he returned to the room, Wang Hanmin said with some disappointment: "The situation is still the same as before. It's been two days. I have passed the workers in this factory several times, but I still haven't noticed Xiao Guoyuan appear. I found two old people in the factory and identified the male workers in the textile factory who meet the conditions. They are not Xiao Guoyuan. Now it seems that Xiao Guoyuan should not be here."

Li Zhiqun nodded and said, "But Xiao Guoyuan must be related to the textile factory. Will Xiao Guoyuan's place of land be nearby? I have asked Major Yokota to contact him. This afternoon, we went to the police station and investigated residents in residential areas near the textile factory. The Japanese have been operating in Qingdao for a long time and have strict management of residents' household registration. Maybe some clues can be found. To be honest, I really don't want to find Major Yokota. If I use him, the credit will be reduced by half!"

Speaking of this, Li Zhiqun looked at Wang Hanmin's face and comforted him again: "Brother Hanmin, don't worry too much. It depends on others and the success of things is in heaven. How can you do things smoothly?"

Wang Hanmin knew that Li Zhiqun was afraid that he would be more anxious than him, but it was rare to be able to hide himself and comfort him in turn. It seemed that he needed to give him a dose of relief injection.

Thinking of this, he nodded slightly and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't find Xiao Guoyuan. I have another clue, but I think Xiao Guoyuan is the best to break through. This clue may not be used, just..."

When Li Zhiqun heard this, his eyes lit up. He knew that Wang Hanmin must have a trump card in his hand, otherwise he would not have promised him before, saying that he was confident of clearing the Qingdao station.

"Tell me quickly!"

Wang Hanmin pondered for a moment and said, "Fu Shengyuan, the stationmaster of the Military Intelligence Bureau Qingdao Station, this man worked in the Lixing Club in his early years. He met each other, but he had never dealt with him. Although I was not familiar with him, I had heard of him quite well.

Because this person is very afraid of his wife, and his wife is Ding Mingzhen, who is also a telecommunication staff member of Lixing Society. I have met several times. Later, Lixing Society was reorganized into the Military Intelligence Department, and intelligence stations were set up in various places. I was transferred to Wuhan Station. Fu Shengyuan was originally planning to be transferred to Tianjin Station, but his wife Ding Mingzhen firmly disagreed because Ding Mingzhen's home is in Qingdao, and it is the daughter of a wealthy family in Qingdao. Ding Mingzhen forced Fu Shengyuan to apply to the headquarters. The two of them were finally transferred to Qingdao Station together. At that time, their colleagues had joked about Fu Shengyuan, and I remember this very clearly."

At that time, the Military Intelligence Agency did not strictly manage this aspect and did not have a strong sense of confidentiality. In order to successfully establish an intelligence station in the early stage, it often even specially selected local personnel to use previous social relations to establish an intelligence station. Therefore, Fu Shengyuan's request was not excessive, and the headquarters approved his application.

Because no one expected that after the war broke out, Qingdao would become a dangerous area behind enemy lines, and the intelligence stations would also go from open to dark, and each of them would hide their own names, which would become a hidden danger.

When Li Zhiqun heard this, he knew that Wang Hanmin was planning to find a breakthrough from Ding Mingzhen.

Sure enough, Wang Hanmin continued: "Ding Mingzhen was born in a wealthy family in Qingdao, but not many wealthy families in Qingdao. It is not difficult to find Ding Mingzhen after tracing her children. She is also a member of the Military Affairs Bureau. With Fu Shengyuan's relationship, she must be a core member. As long as she is found, it will not be difficult to find Fu Shengyuan."

Li Zhiqun was ecstatic when he heard this. Wang Hanmin said it was right. It was not difficult to find it according to these conditions.

In fact, he was anxious and overwhelmed in the past two days. There were still three days before the convening of the conference. When he applied to Kyosa Yuki, he repeatedly guaranteed that the action would be successful. However, time was getting tighter and tighter, and the work of finding Xiao Guoyuan was not going smoothly. How could he not be anxious? But he was finally responsible and refused to put pressure on Wang Hanmin. Now that the future is dark, Wang Hanmin has also spat out an important clue, so he is naturally very happy.

"Brother Hanmin, how many secrets do you have in your mind? It's so rigorous. To be honest, I was really unsure before, haha!"

Wang Hanmin looked at Li Zhiqun's excited look and explained with a wry smile: "I thought finding Xiao Guoyuan was enough to complete the task. For Fu Shengyuan, I don't want to involve his family now, so I have to ignore it!"

Li Zhiqun waved his hand and said disrespectfully: "Let's take care of ourselves first. You can't worry too much about doing this job."

Speaking of this, he frowned and continued, "But in this way, if we conduct large-scale investigation and screening, our personnel will not be enough. We must rely on the power of the special high school course, and this contribution will be reduced again."

Li Zhiqun is a good person, but he is very happy with the problem of being hard to change. He only wants to eat alone. This is also one of the reasons why he has been unsuccessful in the pseudo-government.

Seeing this, Wang Hanmin said, "It's better to look for Xiao Guoyuan first. If it really doesn't work, then look for Ding Mingzhen!"

Li Zhiqun nodded in agreement. It would be best if he could find Xiao Guoyuan, so that everyone can save trouble.

The two of them were plotting in the room, but Xu Yongchang, who was resting in the room, walked around the room, feeling anxious.

Over the past few days, he has been following Wang Hanmin, ambushing near the textile factory, waiting for Wang Hanmin's order to arrest the target.

Through the observations over the past few days, he also figured out that Wang Hanmin must have mastered some of the situations of the Qingdao station staff and believed that the target was related to the textile factory. Although he was also worried, fortunately, Wang Hanmin seemed to have miscalculated and had not discovered it in the past few days.

What will Wang Hanmin do next? Do you need to do something from it and remind your comrades?

After thinking for a long time, Xu Yongchang finally decided not to act rashly. He was ordered to lurk in order to eliminate Wang Hanmin, or even more important tasks. If he acted rashly in the unclear situation, if he exposed himself, it would be more than worth the loss. According to the order of section chief Huo Yueze, all his actions must be implemented until the instructions of his superiors.

Unfortunately, Xu Yongchang didn't know about the situation he is in Qingdao now, and the Shanghai Intelligence Department was not aware of it. Due to special reasons for intelligence work, Xu Yongchang could only contact Hongshijie when he had a major intelligence report or received major instructions.

Therefore, Xu Yongchang did not take the initiative to contact him, and Hong Shijie could not detect it in the short term, let alone report it. The list of people selected to participate in the Qingdao operation was kept confidential, and even Luo Xingchao did not deliberately investigate, so that Xu Yongchang was in a state of loss of contact at this time.

In the afternoon of the same day, under the leadership of Major Yokota, Wang Hanmin and Li Zhiqun rushed to the nearby police station and began to screen residents and personnel in residential areas near the textile factory.

It was searched until the evening when Wang Hanmin finally found out. He took out a resident household registration form, carefully checked the photos posted on it, and after checking for a long time, he handed them to Li Zhiqun who was beside him, and said, "I found it, it's him!"

Li Zhiqun was very happy. He took the registration form, looked at the name and the registration content, and said with a smile: "I finally found it. Yu Xintai used to work in Xuanhua Textile Factory, but now he has worked as a foreman in the nearby coal material factory. No wonder we didn't find him. The relationship was that we changed our boss. Now we are divided into two groups and we will arrange for arrest immediately."

Even Major Yokota who was standing beside him was very happy. He quickly ordered the police from the police station to lead the way. The two teams of people took action. One team went to the coal factory to catch people, and the other team went to Xiao Guoyuan's residence.

Wang Hanmin led a team to a civilian residential area near the textile factory and soon found Xiao Guoyuan's residence.

However, when Wang Hanmin made arrangements and the personnel of No. 76 rushed into the house, the room was empty. Wang Hanmin hurriedly ordered a search, but after a long search, the final result disappointed him. Xiao Guoyuan must have escaped.

Soon Li Zhiqun also rushed over from the coal material factory. Just as Wang Hanmin expected, Li Zhiqun was also vacant.

Wang Hanmin reported to Li Zhiqun: "We have searched the entire house and found that the house has been uninhabited for several days, and the leftovers in the kitchen have been rotten. It was a few days ago. There were no valuable items or banknotes in the house. Xiao Guoyuan only took away some of the property, and no other clothes and some necessities moved. Judging from various signs, he left in a hurry."

Li Zhiqun also said: "We went to the coal material factory to catch people. The target had already run away. They asked the people from the coal material factory. They said that Yu Xintai, also known as Xiao Guoyuan, showed up three days ago, but never appeared again. He didn't even say hello and never came to work again. They didn't know what was going on. I've detained all the people from the coal material factory."

At this time, the police who were operating together brought several neighbors nearby. Wang Hanmin asked them carefully about the situation, and the general situation was similar to what Li Zhiqun knew.

Xiao Guoyuan disappeared three days ago. The door was locked these days, and no one had seen him.

Li Zhiqun looked around the room for a while, and finally said to Wang Hanmin: "Three days ago, the day we just arrived in Qingdao, that is to say, Xiao Guoyuan suddenly evacuated without warning a few hours before we arrived in Qingdao. Isn't this a coincidence?"

"This is not a coincidence!" Wang Hanmin smiled bitterly, pointing at the decorations in the room, "Xiao Guoyuan has been lurking in Qingdao for so long, and his concealment identity and address have never been changed. In other words, he believes that his concealment identity and address are very concealed and have high security. It is very difficult for a lurking intelligence officer to operate a long-term identity. Without special accidents, he will never evacuate. However, we have seen that he had no preparation before evacuation and left in a hurry. He must have heard the sound of the wind."
