Lost and Spy

Chapter 1021
Sugino Kazuhide was secretly arrested by the military commander in December 1938.

This person is also considered unlucky. According to his own account, he only arrived in Shanghai in November, and he was appointed as the inspection section chief of the Doihara Organization.

This is a very relaxed position, and you don't have to go to the front line.

However, Sugino Kazuhide was conscientious and decided to go to the International Settlement to get acquainted with Shanghai.

But he can only speak some very simple Chinese, and after coming to the International Settlement, he likes to act alone, and he was quickly targeted by the military commander.

The ending can be imagined, the military command agents did not take much effort to catch him.

After interrogation, Sugino and Kazuhide didn't know much information, and the only use value was probably to be used as a hostage exchange one day in the future.

During this period of time, Meng Shaoyuan was still in Chongqing, so he never knew the existence of this person.

From this information, it can be seen that Sugino Kazuhide does have a background, otherwise Kenji Doihara would not let him be the head of the inspection section with a job but no authority.

And this person has no intelligence work experience to speak of.

There have been such people, and there are many of them. They just want to plate a layer of gold and then use it for other purposes.

It's just that Sugino and Hei's luck is really bad.

Asama Akutagawa also really wanted to send a businessman to Shanghai to rescue Sugino Kazuhide.

But his luck is really good.

Met "old friend" "Kudo Shinichi".

Meng Shaoyuan likes to deal with people who like money.

As long as you like money, you will have room to manipulate in the future, not to mention that the other party is still a major general?
There are many places where it will be useful in the future.

Meng Shaoyuan interrogated Sugino Kazuhide overnight.

Sugino Kazuhide looked young, in his twenties, with a pale complexion, a distressed appearance, a sallow and thin complexion.

"It's okay if you haven't eaten."

Meng Shaoyuan asked with great concern.

Hearing that the other party spoke pure Japanese, Sugino Kazuhide was startled for a moment, then nodded.

"Come here, get him a bowl of noodles and add two eggs."

Sugino Kazuhide hesitated: "Why are you doing this to me?"

He is really a rookie, and he exposed his inexperience as soon as he opened his mouth.

Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said, "Because General Asama and I are very good friends."

"What? You and my brother-in-law are good friends?" Sugino Kazuhide blurted out in surprise and joy.

I rely on!

It's not that easy either.

Meng Shao had originally designed how to get words out of his mouth little by little, how to observe his words, how to trick the other party into telling the truth about his relationship with Asama Akutagawa.

Now it seems that all this has been avoided.

Asama Akutagawa is his brother-in-law?
Judging by his age, Sugino Kazuhide's sister is probably not too old, and it is likely to be Asama Akutagawa's later wife.

A lot younger than Asama Akutagawa?
Well, it is inevitable to love some.

"Your brother-in-law, General Asama, and I are very good friends." Meng Shaoyuan became confused: "When General Asama was in Shanghai, we have cooperated many times. I forgot to introduce, I am Kudo Shinichi."

"Ah, it's Kudo-kun, I'm sorry."

Sugino Kazui was a little confused.

How did a Japanese appear here in the military command?Is he a sleeper agent?If it's really a hidden agent of the empire, wouldn't it be too imprudent to say his name directly?

Sugino Kazuhide felt that his head was not enough.

Originally, Asama Akutagawa wanted him to join the army and took him personally.However, Sugino and Kazui yearned for a career as an agent, insisted on joining the intelligence organization, and was later sent to China.

Asama Akutagawa had no choice but to get him to Shanghai, which is relatively safe, with better conditions and a comfortable life, through relationships.

But who would have thought that he would be arrested as soon as he arrived in Shanghai?
A bowl of noodles arrived.

"Let's eat." Meng Shaoyuan was amiable.

Sugino Kazuhide was really hungry, he ate all the noodles and eggs, and there was not even a little soup left.

Putting down the bowl, he took a satisfying burp: "Thank you, Kudo-kun, I haven't had a full meal for a long time."

"You're welcome, it's my duty to help General Asama take good care of you." Meng Shaoyuan said relaxedly, "I have discussed it with Meng Shaoyuan, the district chief of the military-controlled Shanghai District, and you will be released."

"Ah, is it true?" Sugino Kazuhide was surprised and delighted.

"of course it's true."

"Kudou-kun, I don't know how to thank you." Sugino Kazui never dreamed that such a good thing would happen suddenly: "When I return to my brother-in-law, I will definitely let him thank you."

What you want is your words.

After the fall of Xuzhou, many soldiers and agents of the national army were captured, some were sent to concentration camps, and some were still detained in Xuzhou.

The military command has always had the idea of ​​rescue, but how easy is it?

Now, Meng Shaoyuan saw a glimmer of opportunity.

Sugino Kazuhide is of no importance at all, and it is of no use to keep him. Even if he is the general's brother-in-law, it is impossible for the Japanese side to exchange important people.

But letting him go and staying with Asama Akutagawa would be quite different.

Well, I have to pull Asama Akutagawa into the water completely.It would definitely be a big surprise to have a Japanese general in Xuzhou as his possible internal response.

Meng Shaoyuan made up his mind: "Sugano-kun, if you want to go, you can go now, but I hope you will stay for a while, and I would like you to help me bring a gift back to Your Excellency the General."

"Ah, well, everything is up to you to arrange."

"Come here, change Sugino and Heying's place so that he can have a good sleep."

……

After all this work, it's almost dawn.

Meng Shaoyuan cried out in pain.

Lie flat on the table and fell asleep after a while.

Wu Jingyi didn't know when she opened the door and came in.

"The 'Mingguang Pill' arrived in Shanghai today."

"okay, I get it."

Meng Shaoyuan was sleepy and yawned continuously.

"You didn't act?" Wu Jingyi was a little curious.

"Put it on for now." Meng Shaoyuan stood up and moved around, picked up yesterday's cold tea, rinsed his mouth, opened the window, sprayed it down, and then poured out the remaining tea in the cup.

"Who is that immoral!"

Below came the confidential officer Xiao Zeng's scolding.

Meng Shaoyuan was so frightened that he quickly closed the window.

"The quality is too poor."

Wu Jingyi muttered.

"Yes, yes, my quality is poor."

Meng Shaoyuan had no chance to defend himself: "Choose a few capable ones for me tonight, including you, and make a fortune with me."

"Whose brain are you using again?"

"Ji Yunqing!"

Wu Jingyi nodded: "After Ji Yunqing was hit by us a few times, although he himself has become more cautious, the behavior of the enemy has become more and more rampant. I think it is necessary to find a way to get rid of him."

"Not only him, Wu Sibao also needs to get rid of it." Meng Shaoyuan looked not in a hurry: "Take your time, just these few months, I got rid of the two of them together!"
