Ning Zhiheng quickly sensed something was wrong. He asked in surprise, "Why would they use people from No. 76 for security? They have no say in such a high-level meeting. Has Kageyama Yuki lost his mind? The North China side won't agree to this, will they?"
It is important to know that this tripartite meeting was kept extremely secret from the outside world. In order to ensure that there were no errors, the Japanese referred to the three parties by code names in their telegrams. For example, the code name for the puppet government was "Takeuchi" to prevent the information from being leaked.
The personnel responsible for security and guard duties were all agents from the North China Special Higher Police and the Central China Shadow Agency, with the North China side being the primary force.
The surrounding guard units were all Japanese army and navy troops stationed in Qingdao. The military police headquarters coordinated the security forces, so it can be said that the entire security force hardly used any Chinese.
However, with the meeting about to convene, it is highly unusual to send a team of agents from the 76th Special Agent Unit to Qingdao ahead of time to make preparations.
He Siming confirmed again, "I was the one who made the contact, there's no mistake. The North China side raised questions, and it was Kagesa Hiroki who communicated with them before they agreed to the arrangement. I don't know the specific reasons, but I always feel that something is not quite right!"
Something was definitely not right! Ning Zhiheng tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of the chair, considering all the possibilities, but he couldn't figure it out after a long time. So he asked again, "Can you confirm the identity of the person?"
He Siming shook his head and explained, "I only know that it's someone from number 76, but I don't know the specific list. However, this matter is easy to investigate. I will call number 76 as a liaison officer and ask under the pretext of arranging the itinerary. I will find out soon."
Ning Zhiheng immediately rejected the idea. He valued He Siming's protection highly and would never allow him to carry out any risky actions. He said, "No need. I have my own channels for dealing with No. 76. Don't worry about it. Remember, don't do anything unrelated to your work. Go back and prepare. Before you go to Qingdao, unless there are special circumstances, we don't need to meet. We'll contact each other again when we get to Qingdao!"
"Yes!" He Siming nodded in agreement.
After breaking up with He Siming, Ning Zhiheng kept this matter on his mind. He immediately instructed Yi Huaan to give orders to Luo Xingchao to find out the list of people going to Qingdao the day after tomorrow. He wanted to use the list to determine the purpose of the Seventy-Sixth's operation this time.
His intuition told him that the unusual operation by No. 76 was most likely aimed at the Military Intelligence Bureau. He needed to find out the specifics before going to Qingdao, otherwise his trip to Qingdao would be subject to great changes.
A day had passed. After receiving the order, Luo Xingchao immediately sent two assistants to inquire about the situation, but because of the short time, they did not receive any valuable information.
However, Li Zhiqun made a phone call and summoned Luo Xingchao to the director's office, where Luo Xingchao quickly arrived.
Seeing Luo Xingchao enter, Li Zhiqun nodded and said with a smile, "Xingchao, I called you here to tell you some things. I have to go on a business trip tomorrow, so I'll be temporarily entrusting you with handling things at the office for a while!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Xingchao immediately realized that the personnel mentioned in the order who were going to Qingdao were actually led by Li Zhiqun personally.
He blinked and said with a smile, "Director, you're joking. If you're going on a business trip, the work should be handled by Deputy Director Wang. I'm not qualified to do so, it wouldn't be appropriate!"
Upon hearing this, Li Zhiqun laughed and waved his hand to explain, "It was my fault for not explaining clearly. Deputy Director Wang is going on a business trip with me, so the work in the office can only be done by you. Please bear with me!"
Wang Hanmin is also going to Qingdao! Luo Xingchao was startled. What happened to make these two people leave at the same time?
As for having Luo Xingchao temporarily take over the work, it was a logical thing to do. Now, due to the great turmoil, the entire senior management of the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters had been replaced.
Hu Yunhe, the head of the Second Division, had just taken office after Sun Xiangde's death, and because of the matter involving Gao and Tao, he is still in jail and has not been released.
Li Zhiqun had always been somewhat wary of Zhang Jingyao, the head of the Third Division, because of the mole incident, and besides, his position was far inferior to Luo Xingchao's.
Qian Renlong, the fourth section chief, is also a newly promoted cadre.
Because the former director, Pan Da, was Ding Mo's confidant, Ding Mo was squeezed out of the No. 76 Special Agent Headquarters, and Pan Da followed Ding Mo to work in the Social Affairs Department. Li Zhiqun spent a long time selecting before promoting Qian Renlong, whose qualifications were far below Luo Xingchao's.
Aside from the four major departments, there were even fewer smaller departments. In addition, given Luo Xingchao's exceptional position, the departure of the two directors made Luo Xingchao the best candidate to replace the head of the First Department.
"Please rest assured, Director, I will take good care of this house and wait for your return!" Luo Xingchao said respectfully.
