Lost and Spy

Chapter 404: High Security
"Mr. Meng, this is the second batch of medicinal materials."

To be honest, the last person Kawamoto Kojiro wanted to see was Meng Shaoyuan.

Every time I'm with him, there's always a feeling of being oppressed by him.

However, the burden of rescuing Tokugawa Honda fell on him.

Even if you don't like it, you must persevere.

Although the Japanese army had the overall upper hand on the Shanghai battlefield, but here, there was only one person who had the upper hand:

Meng Shaoyuan!
Meng Shaoyuan came alone again.

It seems that he really opened the International Settlement, and he has the final say on everything.

That time, several Japanese agents were taken to the patrol room and stayed for a full day and night before being released, and one of them was even beaten.

However, the police department refused to admit it, thinking that this was wronging and slandering the professional ethics of the police station.

Well, well, bear with it.

When the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry announces the candidate for the new Chief of Police, all passive situations will be reversed.

"Mr. Meng, how is Mr. Tokugawa's situation?"

"Him? It's okay, I guess he won't die."

good?

Kawamoto Kojiro smiled wryly: "Mr. Meng, this is already the second batch of medicines we have shipped. There are four batches in total, and the remaining two batches will arrive soon. Can you return Tokugawa Honda to us first? I Guaranteed, the remaining medicines will be delivered to you on time."

"I don't trust you, and I don't trust Japan." Unexpectedly, Meng Shaoyuan flatly refused: "I must see the last tube of medicine delivered to me before I will hand Tokugawa Honda to you."

Ok?
A more complicated look flashed in Kawamoto Kojiro's eyes?

It seems that Kawamoto Kojiro has mixed emotions: "Well, if this is the case, I won't force you, but I can at least make one request, let me see Tokugawa Honda with my own eyes to prove that he is still alive. Mr. Meng, you can't Constantly asking us to pay, but not letting us know anything? His Excellency the Prince is very worried about Tokugawa Honda. I see that Tokugawa is safe and sound, so I can report to him that he is safe and let him deliver the medicine to you more quickly. inside."

When he said these words, he waved his hands several times, but each time he turned the back of his hand outward and his palm inward.

This is a classic defensive protective action.

It usually occurs when you are telling a lie and are trying to convince the other person to believe what you are saying.

What lies is Kawamoto Kojiro talking about?

What is he planning?
Find the place where Tokugawa Honda is hiding, and then attack?

will not.

This will lead to a fight with the military, and this is absolutely not allowed in the concession.

Besides, Meng Shaoyuan was well-armed, and even if the opponent attacked by force, he would not be able to take advantage of it.

Meng Shaoyuan couldn't think of what the other party was planning there for a moment.

However, to be honest, Kawamoto Kojiro's request was not excessive at all.

Two batches of medicines were delivered, but the situation of Tokugawa Honda depended on what Meng Shaoyuan said.

Anyone who changes will have doubts?

As if seeing Meng Shaoyuan's hesitation, Kawamoto Kojiro said hastily: "Please rest assured, Mr. Meng, I will go alone. If you are worried about anything, you can cover my eyes."

"It's not necessary." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "I won't be so stingy, and I won't be afraid of anything. And if you really want to know where Tokugawa Honda is hiding, you can send someone to follow me."

"So you agreed?"

"Yes, why not?" Meng Shaoyuan smiled, not caring at all: "I will take you there, send you out, and wait for you to save Tokugawa Honda."

Once people's curiosity is aroused, it will be terrible.

Especially someone like Meng Shaoyuan who only thinks it's nothing but not a big deal.

……

Kawamoto Kojiro never thought that the place where Meng Shaoyuan hid Tokugawa Honda was on Hankou Road.

Hankou Road is a name given by foreigners. Shanghainese refuse to accept this name and call Hankou Road "Sanma Road".

The Ministry of Industry Bureau of the Shanghai Public Concession occupies a part of Hankou Road.

"No wonder you don't worry about me." Kawamoto Kojiro smiled wryly: "We rely on the Ministry of Industry and Technology Bureau here. If we want to forcefully snatch Tokugawa back, the police will show up in less than 2 minutes."

That's why Meng Shaoyuan cared so much about the Police Department of the Ministry of Industry.

He chose the junction of Hankou Road and Jiangxi Road, a company originally owned by a British, as his own warehouse.

Not only is Tokugawa Honda hidden here, but there are also many medicines, weapons, and ammunition.

Once any incident occurs, the patrol will be dispatched quickly to form the first line of defense.

Under normal circumstances, patrolling has been able to solve most of the problems.

In the event of an emergency, there are three lines of defense in the warehouse.

The most important thing is that very few people are willing to make trouble near the building of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.

As long as the Commissioner of Police is one of his own, this warehouse is impenetrable!

Therefore, Meng Shaoyuan must keep Sinclair's position no matter what.

After getting out of the car, two policemen who were walking back and forth came over with a courteous look on their faces: "Boss Meng."

"Thank you." Meng Shaoyuan gave them the two cigarettes he was carrying: "Take them and smoke them."

"Oh, Boss Meng, this is not fun, this is not fun."

"Take it, you're welcome."

"Thank you Boss Meng, thank you Boss Meng."

Seeing the two police officers happily walking away with cigarettes, Kawamoto Kojiro felt a little helpless: "No wonder you can be unscrupulous in Shanghai Beach."

"You're welcome, come on, follow me, be careful not to get hurt by mistake."

As soon as you enter the first floor, you are greeted by two machine guns supposedly behind a pile of sacks.

Kawamoto Kojiro gasped.

Good guy, Meng Shaoyuan turned this place into a battlefield.

There are six agents on the first floor.

Seeing Meng Shaoyuan coming in, no one greeted him, but performed their duties, watching every move outside through the window.

All are carefully trained.

Kawamoto Kojiro can confirm this.

On the second floor, there was another machine gun at the top of the stairs.

On the third floor, in addition to machine guns, there were two more agents with submachine guns on their backs.

And there is an iron door on the third floor, which can be closed at any time.

This is simply another four-row warehouse.

This is probably the reason why Meng Shaoyuan was so confident.

No one said a word to Meng Shaoyuan during the whole process.

"They don't seem to respect you very much?" Kawamoto Kojiro said suddenly: "You are their commander. According to the rules of the Japanese army, subordinates must salute when they see their superiors."

"We are not an army." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile, "I gave them this order. When performing tasks, there is no need to salute and greet anyone."

"You are peculiar."

Kawamoto Kojiro said so.

Really, Meng Shaoyuan is really a strange person. If there is a chance, Kawamoto Kojiro would like to sit down with him face to face and have a good chat.

It's a pity, maybe Meng Shaoyuan wouldn't give himself this chance, right?

Meng Shaoyuan pointed to a room on the third floor: "The Tokugawa Honda you want to see is inside, go in."

Kawamoto Kojiro found a problem: "Are there no guards outside?"

"Guard?" Meng Shaoyuan shook his head: "Why should I guard?"

Kawamoto Kojiro pushed the door and walked in, then closed the door behind him.

He finally saw Tokugawa Honda.

Part of the gauze on his body has been removed, and his complexion looks good.

"Who are you...?" Tokugawa Honda asked in Chinese.

The voice is still a little weak.

"Tokugawa-kun, I'm Kojiro Kawamoto, and I'm in charge of your rescue."

"is it?"

"Ah, don't move, just lie here." Kawamoto Kojiro looked around and found that there were no stools around.

"Sit down next to me." Tokugawa Honda sighed: "People in China are worried that I will commit suicide, so things like stools will not appear here."

Sure enough, the room was empty.

"Tokugawa-kun, you have suffered." Kawamoto Kojiro said, "Did the Chinese abuse you?"

"No, they treated me...not bad."

Kawamoto Kojiro keenly discovered a problem:
Tokugawa Honda's answer was not so firm.

"It's not bad", this is accepting the Chinese people's care for him.

Kawamoto Kojiro studied psychology in the United States. If he hadn't met Meng Shaoyuan and suffered a heavy blow to his confidence, he would be a very good psychologist.

Tokugawa Honda didn't notice the other party's strangeness: "In the beginning, when the Chinese people caught me, I always thought about committing suicide to serve His Majesty the Emperor, but under the strict guard of the Chinese people, I couldn't do it. So I thought, since I can't die, why can't I keep my life and continue to serve His Majesty the Emperor?"

No, no, he didn't want to die.

Kawamoto Kojiro can be sure of that.

Tokugawa Honda is an aristocrat who grew up rich and well-clothed and never experienced hardship.He was willing to stay in the army and go to a dangerous battlefield, also because it was the heroism in the young man's heart that motivated him.

What is certain is that Tokugawa Honda must have thought about suicide when he first became a prisoner.However, with the passage of time, the determination to die will gradually fade.

"Tokugawa-kun, let me guess." Kawamoto Kojiro asked tentatively: "The Chinese people worked hard to treat your injuries, and then they gave you food, mostly the Japanese food you are used to?"

"Yes, how do you even know what I eat?"

Kawamoto Kojiro sighed.

How would I know?
Because I used a similar method on a Chinese agent, and finally succeeded in getting him to speak.

The Chinese are nothing more than the way of treating others with their own bodies.

Tokugawa Honda's attitude has completely softened.

He is no longer a staunch fighter.

He wanted to live, and live for a long, long time.

suicide?

Will not.

This is also the reason why Meng Shaoyuan was so bold as not to use guards.

First, the security here is so strict that Tokugawa Honda can't escape at all.

The second is that Meng Shaoyuan has already seen clearly that Tokugawa Honda has long since lost the courage to commit suicide!
