Lost and Spy

Chapter 173
The morning meeting was mainly to brief the cadres at various levels on the situation in Xi'an, and once again focused on explaining that the security of Nanjing must be strengthened.

Back in the office, Meng Shaoyuan changed from his Chinese tunic suit to a black suit with a black wool coat and a black top hat.

Checked the Browning, then holstered it.

"Team Leader Meng." As soon as he left the house, he met Zhu Yanni head-on, and looked Meng Shaoyuan up and down: "Where are you going with such an air?"

"Go on a blind date."

"I bother."

Zhu Yanni spat at Meng Shaoyuan's back: "Let you go on a blind date, and you will be old, ugly, and sick all over!"

……

After Zhu Yanni had money, she rented a small courtyard in Nanjing, a single family, very clean.Later, Lin Xuan came and lived here.

After Shimamoto Narumi was caught, he was detained in a small hotel under surveillance by Guo Rui and Ji Shuang.

And because Xia Wen is a woman, she was temporarily assigned to Zhu Yanni's place, and she and Lin Xuan took turns monitoring her, and Tian Qi and the others would also come over to take a look.

As soon as he entered, Meng Shaoyuan saw Xia Wen staring at the potted flowers in the yard for the first time.

"How is it?" Meng Shaoyuan called Lin Xuan over and asked in a low voice.

"Very honest." Lin Xuan also replied in a low voice: "Every day behaves well. After eating, I read books and admire flowers in the yard."

"What made you test it?"

"Tried it. That day, I deliberately had something urgent to go out, and then ambushed nearby with Tian Qi, but for most of the day, Xia Wen didn't even take a step out of the door, and didn't want to escape at all."

Meng Shaoyuan nodded and came to Xia Wen's side: "Miss Xia."

"Leader Meng." Xia Wen stood up and smiled quietly.

"How about you, are you used to living here?"

"The place I live in is okay, but the climate is too cold." Xia Wen replied honestly: "Guangzhou is very warm at this time. I have no other intentions. I am very grateful to Team Leader Meng for taking us in so that we We don't have to worry anymore."

There is a deck chair next to it, and a desk next to it, with chrysanthemum tea and a book.

This book was bought with the help of Meng Shaoyuan, "Shanghai Spring and Autumn" written by Bao Tianxiao, one of the representatives of the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School.

Meng Shaoyuan flipped through the pages casually and asked, "Have you read Miss Xia's book?"

"After reading it, the book that Team Leader Meng recommended to me is really good." Xia Wen said softly: "I didn't like to read this type of book before, but after reading it this time, I feel that a Shanghai Spring and Autumn Annals has written about ten miles of Shanghai. The foreign market is full of luxury and wealth, but it is full of holes...I never thought that people from the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School could write such a profound book."

Meng Shaoyuan turned the book halfway through, closed it, and put it back again: "Miss Xia lives here with peace of mind, if you have anything to do, just tell them, we will help you if we can."

"Thank you, Team Leader Meng, for interrupting."

Lin Xuan sent Meng Shaoyuan to the door, and Meng Shaoyuan stopped: "From now on, relax the surveillance on her, don't worry, Xia Wen will never run away."

……

Meng Shaoyuan went out, got into the car, and went directly to Zuosuo Street, Pukou, Jiangbei District, Nanjing.

It has been the most important market and water transport terminal in Nanjing since the Ming Dynasty.

By the time of the Republic of China, it had become the largest town in Nanjing.

And Zuosuo Street is its center.

There is a strong historical atmosphere here.

Meng Shaoyuan parked the car and got out of the car.

When I came to a small stall selling salted duck eggs, I picked up a salted duck egg and smelled it: "Did you make this at home?"

"Yes, boss." The peddler quickly stood up with a smile on his face.Then he picked up two salted duck eggs and approached them: "Team Leader Meng, the surveillance has been up to now, a total of eight customers have entered in two days, and they came out soon. There is nothing unusual."

"Oh."

Meng Shaoyuan put down the salted duck eggs: "Let's get off work. I've been staring here for two days. It's hard work. After you go back, go to Section Chief Feng to get ten yuan. After a good meal, tell Section Chief Feng that I will sign when I go back."

"Thank you, Team Leader Meng, thank you, Team Leader Meng."

Meng Shaoyuan ignored him and went straight to the opposite side.

"Sono Co., Ltd."

There is a sign like this on the door.

Frankly.

Anti-Japanese sentiment among the Chinese people is high. In Nanjing, the capital of China, a Japanese trading company dares to openly put up such a sign, which is telling everyone that they are serious businessmen.

Meng Shaoyuan walked in.

He is interested in this trading company.

Yoshie Akihara is the person in charge of the Nanjing Branch of Qianye Co., Ltd. According to previous investigations, there is nothing wrong with this, except that he is very cunning when doing business.

But in business talk business, this is understandable.

But when in Shanghai, Sun Yonglan said that Qi Honghai and Qiuyuan Xijiang mentioned many times that they belonged to the Lixing Society, which still aroused Meng Shaoyuan's strong curiosity.

Just because you can't find a problem doesn't mean there's really no problem.

Meng Shaoyuan always reminded himself that he was a spy and an intelligence worker, so he had to be skeptical about everything.

"You have worked hard."

A Japanese man in kimono hurriedly greeted the guest when he saw the guest coming, and bowed: "I'm Miyagi Satobuk, and I'm the temporary person in charge here. May I help you with anything?"

His Chinese is a little blunt.

Meng Shaoyuan handed out his business card:

Meng Xiaoyuan, manager of Litong Company.

Ever since he used the pseudonym "Meng Xiaoyuan" in Shanghai, Meng Shaoyuan thought it was a good idea, so it became his designated pseudonym.

"So it's Manager Meng, please come in, please come in."

Miyagi welcomed Meng Shaoyuan in and poured him tea: "Litong Company, very familiar...I think about it, ah, I remembered, there was a little accident in Hang Lung Company, their boss Xu put the company and Litong merged, are you from this Litong company?"

"Mr. Miyagi is very well informed."

"Where, we are in business, we need to know something about these things." Miyagi Rishen said very politely: "We have dealt with Boss Xu in the past, and Boss Xu's business is mainly to help us solve some official problems. Trouble. After his accident, we still have some regrets... It is a great honor to think that Manager Meng is here in person."

"Xu Deshan is gone, but we still have to do business." Meng Shaoyuan said indifferently: "How did Xu Deshan do business with you in the past, I will do the same with you, and I will give you more discounts."

"Okay, okay."

Miyagi Rishen took the cigarette: "Manager Meng, please smoke."

Meng Shaoyuan was not polite, he took out a cigarette, Miyagi Rishen immediately took out a match, and graciously helped him light it: "Doing business in Nanjing is the most difficult thing. Manager Meng is so young, he can control Litong by himself." The company, dealing with various forces, is like a fish in water, admire, admire."

Meng Shaoyuan took a puff of cigarette: "What does it mean to deal with various forces? Which forces?"

"Mr. Meng is testing me." Miyagi said with a deep smile: "In Nanjing, if you want to do a good job like Hang Lung Company's business before, what aspects should you not take care of? But Litong Company took over and started business. It’s more smooth. That’s because the backstage is very hard. I heard that it’s the Lixingshe that supports it.”

"You are very courageous." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "What is the support of the Lixing Society? You mean that the Lixing Society is blatantly smuggling? You are framing government officials."

Miyagi Riefu is not panicked at all: "Business people will use some small tricks just to make money. But if you want to make more money, you need to make more friends. To be friends, you must be honest , Do you think this is the truth, Manager Meng?"

Frank?

Meng Shaoyuan became more interested in this Japanese: "I heard that the person in charge here was Akihara Yoshie?"

"Yes, Mr. Akihara has returned to his country due to physical discomfort, and I will be in charge here temporarily."

"You are very smart and honest, but it's a pity that the honesty is too much." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Why do I think you are not a simple businessman now?"

"I am a simple businessman, but Manager Meng is not a simple businessman."

"why?"

"It's still the same sentence just now, Litong Company has a smooth road, and there are people behind it. I have to admit to you, I didn't hear it, but I am sure that the backer behind it must be the Lixing Society. We businessmen, there are always some Friends, there are some channels to find out."

Miyagi Rishen was really "frank" to the extreme: "Manager Meng is in charge of Litong Company. I think you are probably also a member of Lixingshe, and you are also an important person. Recently, the most popular person in Lixingshe is Meng Shaoyuan... "

Having said that, he took a special look at "Meng Xiaoyuan".

But this "Meng Xiaoyuan" was expressionless and nonchalant, as if the person he was talking about had nothing to do with him.

Miyagi Risaka was also a little surprised:
"Xue Sanqiang, the gangster who ran rampant in Taihu Lake for so many years, no one can do anything to them, but they were eradicated by a special agent of Lixingshe. The whole Nanjing city is talking about this legendary 'Agent Meng'. I Think Agent Meng should be Meng Shaoyuan, right?"

No matter in Nanjing, or in Shanghai and Wuhan, there are a large number of Japanese specials active.

Many things can't be hidden from them at all.

In particular, Meng Shaoyuan has been on the rise in the Lixing Society, and he is proud of the spring breeze. I am afraid that Rite in Nanjing has been eyeing him for a long time.

The question is, why is Miyagi Satoka discussing this so unscrupulously?

Does he really have a clear conscience, just an ordinary businessman?
Or is there any other purpose?
"Continue." Meng Shaoyuan took a puff of cigarette, watching the green smoke curl up.

"Xue Sanqiang killed well and eliminated harm for the people. Even though I am Japanese, I am grateful to him. After all, many of our businesses have to go by water." Miyagi said with a deep smile: "Also, a friend of mine , and asked me to express my deepest gratitude to Mr. Meng Shaoyuan.”

"Who?"

"Mr. Hiroshi Shijima, Shanghai Branch of Zhengjin Bank."
