Upon hearing Yi Hua'an's words, Ning Zhiheng perked up and quickly asked, "Tell me about it!"
He couldn't think of a good way to approach the three military warehouses right now, but perhaps Yi Hua'an had a better idea.
Yi Hua'an said in a low voice, "If we can't get close on land, could we try something underground, like using drainage pipes?"
Yi Hua'an's words immediately jolted Ning Zhiheng. Yes! He was blinded by his own involvement and had actually overlooked such an important channel.
Such a large military warehouse contains important military supplies, so its waterproofing and drainage design must have been a top priority during the construction process. There must be a complete system in place. As long as we find the design drawings of the drainage pipes, we can enter the military warehouse by following the drainage pipes from the exit. This method is both safe and concealed, and it is a brilliant idea.
He slammed his hand on the table and said excitedly, "Hua An, your idea is excellent. This is also our only way to enter the military warehouse."
Now it all comes together with my previous plan. We must find the architectural blueprints for these three warehouses. The above-ground blueprints must be compared with the underground pipeline diagram. The two blueprints should be together. Our current task is to find these two blueprints. Whichever military warehouse we find, we'll blow it up first. We need to make a splash and show it to headquarters.
This is also why Ning Zhiheng asked Hirao Daichi to inquire about the best Japanese architects in Shanghai. At that time, such an important military warehouse would definitely not be designed by Chinese designers, but only by Japanese designers. As long as Ning Zhiheng found the designers who originally designed these three military warehouses, he could find clues about the blueprints from them and eventually get his hands on the blueprints. Now it seems that he can do all of this work at the same time.
Thinking of this, Ning Zhiheng felt relaxed. He finished his breakfast in two bites, then took a hot shower, and his energy returned.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Ning Zhiheng gestured for Yi Huaan to open it.
Hirao Daichi walked in, bowed respectfully to Ning Zhiheng, and said, "Mr. Fujiwara!"
Ning Zhiheng looked at him and asked, "How is it? Hirao-kun, is everything going smoothly?"
Hirao Daichi looked somewhat troubled and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Mr. Fujiwara, when I went to inquire about the situation yesterday, these detached villas had already been pre-sold. There was still some hope for the last villa, but yesterday afternoon, a major from the garrison command forcibly took over the villa. I heard he is from a noble family. Please give me a few more days, and I will definitely find a suitable property for you."
Hirao Daichi was also extremely frustrated. He had finally found this big client, but he messed up the very first thing. Not only did he not earn the commission, but he also lost face in front of the young master of the Fujiwara family. He had originally hoped to use this opportunity to climb up to this big backer, but now that opportunity was gone.
A major at the garrison command? This must be the work of Takeshi Ishikawa. Ning Zhiheng nodded and said, "Let's drop the matter of the real estate. That major is a friend of mine. I was afraid you would make things difficult, so I asked him to purchase the villa for you."
"Yes, sir!" Hirao Daichi quickly nodded in agreement. So that's how it is. As expected, the power of noble children is incomparable to that of commoners like himself. They solved the problem directly through the garrison command. However, he dared not harbor any resentment. As a member of the Fujiwara family, there was no need for him to explain anything.
"Do you have any news about Mr. Kuroki Takeichi?" Ning Zhiheng asked again.
"Not yet, but I will continue to inquire and will report back to you as soon as I have any news," Hirao Daichi quickly replied. "However, I have already found several architects you asked me to inquire about. They are all quite famous architects in Shanghai. Here are their addresses."
After saying that, Hirao Daichi placed a piece of paper in front of Ning Zhiheng. Ning Zhiheng picked it up and said with satisfaction, "Very good, Hirao-kun, I am satisfied with your work. Continue to inquire about Mr. Kuroki's whereabouts. Let me know as soon as you have any news. Thank you for your hard work!"
Hirao Daichi quickly nodded in agreement, bowed, and withdrew.
Ning Zhiheng glanced at the name on the paper and said to Yi Hua'an, "Let's go pay them a visit right away and see if we can get anything out of them!"
The two immediately left the Spring Hotel and drove to the home of the first architect.
Following the address, they arrived at the home of architect Zhongjiang Wuming. It was an independent courtyard with an exquisite architectural style. Ning Zhiheng got out of the car and went up to knock on the gate.
A short while later, a young woman opened the courtyard gate, looked at Ning Zhiheng, and asked, "May I ask what brings you here?"
Ning Zhiheng asked with a smile, "Is this Mr. Nakajima Gomei's home?"
"Yes!"
"Fujiwara Tomohito has come to visit Mr. Nakae Gomei, having heard of his reputation."
Looking at Ning Zhiheng's calm demeanor, elegant attire, and the brand-new black Buick behind him, the young woman smiled and said, "My husband is at home. Please come in!"
"So it's Madam Zhongjiang, my apologies." Ning Zhiheng bowed slightly and followed Madam Zhongjiang into the courtyard.
Madam Zhongjiang invited Ning Zhiheng into the living room, poured him tea, and then went to inform her husband.
Because Nakajima Gomei works as an architect, he usually works from his home.
While Nakae Gomei was busy with his work, he heard that someone had come to visit. He had a general idea of what was going on. The buildings in Shanghai were severely damaged and many buildings needed to be rebuilt. Nakae Gomei had received a lot of design work for this purpose recently and was very busy. He guessed that this Mr. Fujiwara had come because of his reputation and wanted him to do architectural design.
