Chapter 323 Special Commissioner

"The special commissioner wants to see me?"

Qi Yue was somewhat surprised.

Du Juan said, "He will be waiting for you at the Songpu store at seven o'clock tonight."

Matsuura Store is also on Central Street, a maximum of 20 minutes' walk away.

The two of them left home and went to the Madiel Western Restaurant for dinner first. When the time was almost up, they drove to Matsuura Store.

The advantage of doing this is that even if you happen to be seen by acquaintances, you can explain it as just stopping by the store to buy some daily necessities.

Soon, the car arrived at Matsuura Store and slowly stopped on the side of the street.

Du Juan said, "It's the same as last time. Please use the toilet. I'll wait outside."

"it is good."

Qi Yue opened the door and got out of the car.

When the two entered the store, the clerk Wei Liang immediately came forward and greeted them politely: "Hey, Miss Du, Mr. Qi."

Qi Yue looked around and saw that there were not many customers in the store. Three or two women were gathered together, picking out discounted merchandise.

The shopkeeper, Sun Dongping, was sitting behind the counter, his abacus clacking as he seemed to be checking the accounts. He smiled and nodded at the arrival of Du Juan and Qi Yue, but did not say a word.

"Is Lin Wen's perfume available?"

Dujuan walked to the counter.

Wei Liang followed behind him: "You came at a good time. The new goods arrived yesterday. Our shopkeeper Sun said that Miss Du likes this brand the most. She will definitely come to buy it in a few days."

Du Juan said, "I don't know what's going on now, but the perfumes sold in department stores are either made in China or Japan, but here you can buy Chinese products... Show them to me."

Wei Liang said, "What kind of fragrance do you want? Rose, jasmine, or fruity wood."

"Jasmine."

"Wait a moment..."

"Hey, I need to use the restroom."

Qi Yue said on the side.

Wei Liang said, "Please go ahead. Oh, there's no light in the backyard, please keep an eye on it."

"Ok."

Qi Yue lifted the curtain and went to the back.

I walked through the dark corridor and came to the door of the warehouse where I met Qiu Weihan last time. The door was ajar, and a faint light was faintly visible.

Qi Yue pushed the door and walked in.

In the warehouse, a middle-aged man with a thin face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, dressed in a well-tailored suit stood up and looked Qi Yue up and down.

"It's quite cold today."

Qi Yue responded with the secret code normally.

The man replied: "The price of flour has increased by fifty cents."

That's what agents do, they are always careful and cautious to avoid getting an unrelated person by mistake, which would cause a huge mess.

The man said, "Let me introduce myself. I'm Wu Jingzhong, a special commissioner from the bureau headquarters."

"Thank you, Special Envoy."

Qi Yue was respectful.

Wu Jingzhong didn't exchange any more pleasantries, and got straight to the point: "After learning that the Japanese navy was conducting secret exercises in Kagoshima Bay, Boss Dai took it very seriously. Director Jiang of the Telecommunications Department of the Bureau Headquarters worked hard to study and successfully deciphered the enemy's telegram. Do you know which country the Japanese are targeting this time?"

Qi Yue said: "I don't know."

Wu Jingzhong said: "Berry Country."

Qi Yue was surprised: "Berry Country?"

Wu Jingzhong nodded: "According to the analysis of the deciphered message and the current situation, we have concluded that the Japanese army will launch a military operation against the Berry Country in the near future!"

Qi Yue listened attentively.

Wu Jingzhong continued, "According to the intelligence provided by the War Bureau, Japan's crude oil reserves can only last for half a year at most. They hope to force the Berry government to make concessions through victory in the local war. For example, conditionally lifting the oil embargo." "What day was the attack?"

Qi Yue couldn't help but ask.

Wu Jingzhong said: "It is not clear yet. Normally, this is top secret among top secrets. Even the Japanese military officers may not know about it. It is impossible for it to appear in the telegrams of combat training."

Qi Yue thought for a moment and said, "Even if we don't know which day it will be, as long as we take precautions, with the combat effectiveness of the Berry Army, we will at least not suffer any loss."

Wu Jingzhong sighed: "After learning the intelligence, Boss Dai immediately reported it to the chairman, and the chairman also notified the Mei country in time. Unfortunately, the Mei country people didn't believe it at all. They even thought that the government deliberately instigated and provided false intelligence in order to get Mei country to directly participate in the war."

Qi Yue said: "The Mei people want evidence."

Wu Jingzhong nodded with approval, "Yes, the Mei people asked us to provide evidence, such as Japanese military documents or specific combat plans."

Qi Yue smiled bitterly: "It's harder than climbing to the sky."

Wu Jingzhong said: "This is why I came to Binjiang. You work in the puppet government and have access to senior Japanese officials. Think of a solution."

Qi Yue said: "Special Envoy, I'm not trying to shirk my responsibility, this is just too difficult."

Wu Jingzhong said: "It is better to give it a try than to do nothing. Don't worry, even if you fail to complete the task, the higher-ups will not blame you. Everyone knows how difficult the task is."

Qi Yue said: "Then I'll give it a try."

Wu Jingzhong glanced at his watch and said, "I have other things to deal with when I come to Binjiang this time. I can stay for a while. If there is any information related to Kagoshima Bay, please report it to Du Juan in time."

Generally speaking, in order to ensure that their identities are not leaked, intelligence agents lurking behind enemy lines are referred to by code names unless they are in a subordinate relationship. It is rare for them to call each other by their real names like Wu Jingzhong.

"Special Commissioner, do you know Du Juan?"

Qi Yue asked tentatively.

Wu Jingzhong smiled slightly: "When you go back, you can tell her who I am. Well, it's almost time, you can go back."

Qi Yue bowed and left the warehouse.

At this time, Du Juan was checking out and paying. When she saw Qi Yue coming out, she immediately said, "Open the trunk. There are too many things. There is no room in the car."

Qi Yue asked: "What did you buy?"

"Brooms, mops, washbasins, toilet paper, a lot of them."

Dujuan put the perfume into her bag.

……

arrive home.

Dujuan puts away her new purchases.

Qi Yue asked from the side: "Du Juan, do you know who the special envoy is?"

Du Juan said calmly, "You don't have to tell me, and I shouldn't know. Qi Yue, you have been a member of the Military Control Commission for quite some time, and you should have memorized the family rules and disciplines long ago."

Qi Yue said: "He knows you."

Du Juan frowned: "Do you know me?"

Qi Yue said: "He also told me that he could tell you his identity."

"Who is he?"

Dujuan became curious.

Qi Yue said: "Wu Jingzhong."

"It's him?"

Dujuan's eyes widened.

Qi Yue said: "Do you really know each other?"

Du Juan sat down slowly: "Back then, when I was training in the Qingpu special training class, Mr. Wu was the instructor of the first team and taught intelligence science."

Qi Yue said: "Oh, no wonder."

"In the Military Intelligence Bureau, Mr. Wu was highly regarded by Boss Dai. Some time ago, I heard that he was transferred to the Eighth War Zone to serve as the director of the Investigation Office of the Commander's Office... How come he became a special envoy and came to the Northeast?"

Dujuan was puzzled.
