After leaving the Special Investigation Department, He Siming returned to his office in the Special Higher Police Section. As usual, he put Wen Hao's gift into his safe and then began to organize his work summary.
During this period, Kitaoka Ryoko had almost no time to look at the work summaries he was compiling. Sometimes, it would take several trips to find Kitaoka Ryoko for a single work summary. He Siming knew that Kitaoka Ryoko was currently in charge of printing legal tender and did not have time to deal with the work of the Special Investigation Department.
As a result, He Siming's work became more casual, and he was usually idle and carefree.
Having finished his work quickly and with nothing else to do, He Siming prepared some tea, picked up his teacup, and prepared to go to the office next door to have a chat with his teacher, Akita Akihito.
But when He Siming arrived at Akita Akihito's office, the door was locked. He was a little disappointed, so he turned around and went to the office of the ordinary team members, intending to chat with his best friend Morita Yuki or someone else.
He was easygoing, enjoyed chatting and communicating with people, and had no airs of a superior, so he was always well-liked in the Special Higher Police, and everyone was willing to get along with him.
He Siming enjoys chatting with people not only to build good relationships, but more importantly, he wants to glean information from their words that he doesn't already know, and then analyze and summarize it to gain unexpected insights.
But today he was disappointed. He knocked on several offices, but no one was home. He Siming was quite surprised.
A thought struck him. Although he didn't usually handle specific matters and was unfamiliar with many aspects of the work, this situation generally indicated that there must be a major operation underway within the Special Higher Police.
He Siming hesitated for a moment, then decided not to look for anyone else. He was a lazy bum and should never take the initiative to inquire about any information; it was better to just play it by ear.
He Siming turned around and went back to his office, but as soon as he entered, the phone on his desk rang.
He quickly stepped forward and picked up the phone; it turned out to be a call from the section chief's office attendant.
"Takeshita-kun, the section chief wants you to come here!"
"Hi, I'm coming right away!"
He Siming put down the phone, not daring to delay any longer. He quickly went out and arrived at the door of Sagawa Taro's office as fast as possible. He straightened his clothes slightly before knocking on the door and entering to meet Section Chief Sagawa Taro.
"Section Chief, you wanted to see me?" He Siming bowed and asked.
Sagawa Taro looked at the young man in front of him and asked with a smile, "Takeshita-kun, how's work going these days?"
He Siming didn't understand what Sagawa Taro meant, but he knew that he had been called over to explain something, and he could take this opportunity to find out what had happened.
"Reporting to the section chief, the Detective Division's work has been going smoothly lately, and my work has been progressing well without any problems!"
Sagawa Taro nodded and continued, "Takeshita-kun, I called you here today because I have an important task for you to do!"
"Me?" He Siming was a little surprised, but quickly realized what he meant. "Yes, please give your instructions, Section Chief!"
Sagawa Taro handed a document to He Siming and said, "Takeshita-kun, tomorrow you will lead ten special agents back to Japan to pick up three experts and bring them back to Shanghai. These three experts are important personnel in one of our Special Higher Police's operations. The itinerary has specific arrangements. Your job is to bring them back safely."
Is he going to Japan to bring three experts to Shanghai? Or is he a key figure in a planned project?
He Siming's mind raced. It must be related to the plan to print legal tender. At present, the most important task of the Special Higher Police is this plan!
The section chief had previously instructed me to keep a close eye on this kind of intelligence. Now is an opportunity, and I must get involved. I should make as much contact as possible to prepare for the next step of the operation.
He Siming took the document and was about to ask a question when Sagawa Taro explained directly: "Of these three experts, two are experts in paper research, and the other is Mr. Kanda Yushan, one of our country's top engraving masters. He carries the engraving plates for Chinese legal tender with him. You must first ensure the safety of Master Kanda and the engraving plates. There can be no accidents whatsoever. Do you understand?"
He Siming quickly nodded in acceptance and loudly replied, "Yes, sir! I will definitely ensure the safety of Master Kanda and the woodblock."
Sagawa Taro glanced at He Siming, clearly noticing his nervousness, and smiled to reassure him, "Takeshita-kun, our Special Higher Police have been extremely short-handed lately, otherwise I wouldn't have assigned you to this mission. But don't worry, in addition to you, the Ministry of Home Affairs will also send a group of agents to escort these three experts, and the Navy will be responsible for safe transport at sea. In short, although this mission is of great responsibility, it is extremely safe and there will be no danger."
At this point, Taro Sagawa lowered his voice and said again, "Takeshita-kun, after this mission is completed, you will have done a great service. I plan to promote you to a rank of lieutenant colonel after it is done. This is a rare opportunity. Do you understand?"
Sagawa Taro's words made He Siming suddenly realize that this mission was important, but with the escort of many special agents and the assistance of the Navy, the chance of something going wrong was almost zero. Sagawa Taro was just using this as an excuse to promote He Siming's rank again, which was quite a thoughtful move!
He Siming's face showed gratitude. He stomped his feet and bowed deeply, solemnly saying, "I will never forget the section chief's kindness in nurturing me. From now on, I will obey the section chief's orders and never let you down!"
