Lost and Spy

Chapter 496 Feminist Leaders
Shanghai, which temporarily "lost" Meng Shaoyuan, never stopped.

The war in Shanghai between the military reunification and Japan Special has entered a fierce stage.

Assassinations emerged one after another, and casualty reports appeared from time to time.

Like the Japanese Shanghai secret service, the military command's influence in Shanghai is also relatively complicated.

The most important are three forces:
Zhou Weilong, secretary of the Military Command Shanghai Latent Area, Cheng Yiming, and Meng Shaoyuan, director of the Military Command Shanghai Special Office.

Among these three forces, Meng Shaoyuan has the least seniority and the latest time to come to Shanghai, but he is the most powerful.

His military strength is strong, his weapons capital is sufficient, his personnel reserves are abundant, and above all, he still has money.

From the first time Meng Shaoyuan entered Shanghai, Meng Shaoyuan took the method of cutting tofu with a knife to make both sides smooth, and no one would offend him, because his relationship with Zhou Weilong and Cheng Yiming was at least superficially good.

Cheng Yiming has worked in the Workers and Peasants Party in the past, so he knows how to be a man with his tail between his legs.

At the end of the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, he was transferred to Suzhou to serve as the lieutenant colonel leader of the Suzhou Special Team of the Military Command because of poor command.

He has only been a lieutenant colonel until now, and his promotion is relatively slow, and as a dignified secretary of the Shanghai district, he is a team leader in Suzhou, which is considered a demotion.

A big reason is also his previous identity problem.

But Cheng Yiming still has no complaints or regrets, he does his best and has no complaints.This also made Dai Li very satisfied.

After the fall of Suzhou, Cheng Yiming was transferred to Shanghai again, where he was reinstated as the secretary of the latent area under the command of the military in Shanghai.

This person has a deep rhyme with the word "forbearance".

Zhou Weilong is different.

He can be regarded as "rooted and seedling red", a veteran spy, in the fourth phase of Whampoa, Ninghan split, and under Dai Li's persuasion, he joined the chairman of the committee, causing violent disturbances.

It is precisely because of this that he and Dai Li became life-and-death friends, and one of the members of the "Ten People Group" has a very high status in the military system.

The shortcoming of this person is that he likes to rely on the old and sell the old, relies on his qualifications and status, likes to point fingers, and when things don't go his way, he dares to scold anyone when his temper comes up.

But because of his qualifications and status, everyone will give in to him.

In Shanghai, he didn't take Cheng Yiming seriously at all, but favored Meng Shaoyuan later.He also often said to his cronies that in the future, the top leader of the military command in Shanghai will definitely be Meng Shaoyuan.

Even in a few years, it is unknown that Meng Shaoyuan will be able to rise to the top of the military command.

Therefore, the three military forces in Shanghai have internal struggles and cooperation.However, under the current situation, cooperation is still greater than infighting.

After all, who would want to be a subjugated slave with a little conscience?

During the period when Meng Shaoyuan was not in Shanghai, Wu Jingyi was temporarily in charge of the special office.

This is known as "the woman standing behind Meng Shaoyuan", and for the first time began to be alone.

The talents she showed were fully displayed from the very beginning.

First, he successfully killed the advancing team of Takeoka Yamazaki.

Then, Wu Jingyi started a series of anti-rape operations in Shanghai without stopping.

In particular, the death of Pan Daijiao, a former representative of the feminist movement in Shanghai and who had dealt with Meng Shaoyuan, once caused an uproar in Shanghai.

Pan Daijiao, known as leading the new wave of women's rights movement in Shanghai and even the whole country, was a well-known figure during the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, and even the idol of many women.

Although many men complained about some of her actions, due to her reputation, they could only behave politely in front of her.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Pan Daijiao quickly revealed her other side.

She actively cooperates with Japan. On many occasions, she has repeatedly praised Japanese women for their virtuousness and kindness.

Even disregarding the previous propaganda that women should not only be equal to men, but also ride on men's heads, slap themselves, saying that Japanese women's kind of submissiveness and tolerance towards their husbands and children is the most advanced performance. It is worth learning for every Chinese woman.

Her performance naturally won the favor of the Japanese.

It is rumored that Pan Daijiao will serve as the puppet Minister of Culture in the Nanjing puppet regime of the Republic of China's reform government that is being prepared.

Zhou Weilong sent people to contact her many times, hoping that she could rein in the precipice and find her way back, but Pan Daijiao ignored her.Instead, he said: "Women's affairs don't need men to decide."

Zhou Weilong also thought about assassinating him, but considering that Pan Daijiao has great influence among those new women, and even received many celebrities in the past, it is difficult to control what kind of reaction will be caused once assassinated.

In addition, many members of the Pan family worked in the national government, and her elder brother even held an important position in the Executive Yuan, so she was unable to make up her mind.

Just when he couldn't make up his mind, Wu Jingyi decided to do it.

"Regardless of men and women, new or old women, once you decide to join the enemy, you are the enemy of the nation!"

This is an order from Wu Jingyi.

In the assassination list of the Shanghai Special Office of the Military Command, there is one more name:
Pan Daijiao!
Wu Jingyi learned from the information she has obtained that Pan Daijiao, who advocates women's liberation, changes men around her like a lantern, and especially likes men with fair faces and tall stature.

In response to this weakness, Wu Jingyi specially selected a person named Chen Hong from among her spies to serve as a waiter in a French restaurant where Pan Daijiao often goes.

Sure enough, Pan Daijiao took a fancy to Chen Hong at a glance, and Chen Hong was successfully "hooked up" by her, and went to her apartment in Pan Daijiao's car that night.

Pan Daijiao has a characteristic. Although she keeps changing men, she never keeps a man at her home overnight. After the rain, she will send a driver to take the man away.

But that night, the bodyguards were listening to the movement outside the door, and the screams from the opposite side all looked at each other and smiled, not surprising.

After the sound subsided, the bodyguards also got ready. According to the rules, the man will come out soon.

However, after waiting outside for a long time, Chen Hong did not come out.

The bodyguard knocked on the door outside and asked in a low voice, but there was no movement inside.

The bodyguard who felt something was wrong quickly kicked open the door.

The scene in front of them shocked them.

Chen Hong was fully dressed, and he was almost finished smoking a cigarette.

Pan Daijiao was lying on the bed with the quilt covered, but her face was blue and her eyes were protruding. It was obvious that she had been strangled to death.

Chen Hong stubbed out the cigarette butt and stood up: "I'll kill her, you take me to the police station."

This is the sensational "face-to-face murder case" in Shanghai.

When Chen Hong arrived at the patrol room, his expression was calm, and he confessed that Pan Daijiao had taken a fancy to him, and promised himself that as long as he served her satisfactorily, he would give him 200 yuan.

But on the bed, I tried my best to serve Pan Daijiao, but the woman said that she was not good at martial arts, and men were most afraid of this kind of humiliation, so she killed Pan Daijiao in a fit of anger.

Even the murder process was clearly explained.

He first covered Pan Daijiao's face with the pillow to prevent her from venting her anger, and then grabbed Pan Daijiao's throat tightly with his other elbow. After a while, Pan Daijiao died.

Detective Li, who was in charge of interrogating him, listened to Chen Hong's confession patiently and carefully, and after he was charged again, before taking him away, he suddenly sighed and said in a low voice:

"I just tried your method of killing people. It sounds easy, but it's actually very difficult to do. You must have professional training. You have been a waiter not long before this happened, isn't it a coincidence?"

"It's hard to kill, but easy to kill traitors." Chen Hong said calmly, "I've confessed everything, aren't you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, of course." Inspector Li smiled wryly: "Put on this layer of skin, I am an inspector. Take off this layer of skin, I am an ordinary person. I can't control the affairs of the Japanese. I can't control your affairs." I don’t dare to control it. In short, it’s up to you what you say, as long as someone can make up for the crime.”

……

The murder of Pan Daijiao, a famous feminist leader in Shanghai, immediately caused an uproar in Shanghai Bund after being reported by the newspapers.

There are various versions. Some people say that Pan Daijiao is ready to surrender to the enemy, and the military commander resorted to a beauty trick to ward off adultery.Some people said that the boy Pan Daijiao found thought the price was too low, and killed him in a fit of rage after arguing.

There is even an even more absurd claim, that Pan Daijiao called two men that night, and they became jealous of each other, which eventually led to a tragedy.

In view of Pan Daijiao's identity and influence in Shanghai, the International Settlement did not dare to neglect and quickly made a verdict on Pan Daijiao's murder.

In court, Chen Hong insisted that he killed a man because his dignity was insulted.

Someone even whispered to Chen Hong that as long as he told the truth, or even tactfully let the judge know that he was a member of the military commander, an ordinary murder case would become complicated.

The Japanese would not blatantly intervene for a dead person, and Pan Daijiao's status as a traitor would also win Chen Hong sympathy, and then the judge would delay the verdict, which bought the military commander time to rescue Chen Hong.

But Chen Hong only said lightly: "I don't know what a military commander is. I killed Pan Daijiao myself."

In the end he was sentenced to hang and executed immediately.

Before going to the gallows, he saw Wu Jingyi in the crowd, smiling and fearless.

He knew that as long as he could buy time, Wu Jingyi would have a way to save himself.

But he didn't want to.

He didn't want Pan Daijiao's death to have anything to do with the military command.

In the Battle of Shanghai in 1932, his father was killed in battle as the battalion commander of the National Army. In 1937, his elder brother was the platoon leader of the national army and was killed in battle in Yunzaobang.

His mother and younger sister are both in Zhenjiang, and their life and death are unknown.

Now, it's his turn to do something for the country.

The Chen family is a loyal family!
"I laugh at the sky from the sidelines, and I will save my heart and gall in Kunlun!"

Chen Hong murmured in his heart, and calmly stepped onto the gallows.

Wu Jingyi turned and left.

At this moment, there were tears in her eyes.

If Young Master Meng was here, maybe Chen Hong would not have such a result.

Why hasn't Master Meng come back yet?
Carrying this burden by myself is really exhausting.
