Lost and Spy

Chapter 537 The Writer's Matter
Some of those traitors are distressed.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year to welcome the God of Wealth, on this day, Meng Shaoyuan non-stop, "visited" seven traitors one after another, threatening, intimidating, and asking for a price of 20 US dollars.

He also knew they couldn't get it out.

But that is not important, what is important is to let these traitors go bankrupt and let them know that being a traitor requires the awareness of being a traitor.

The Japanese masters behind them can't protect them.

In this big Shanghai, he, Meng Shaoyuan, has the final say.

Has been busy until nightfall.

Ye Rong spent a day with Meng Shaoyuan, and she seemed a little tired.

But still excited.

At least today, she sees a different way of working.

Meng Shaoyuan was also a little tired. He checked the time and sent Ye Rong back to where he lived.

The surrounding environment is not bad.

Next to it is a bar opened by Jews, with a few flattering words "Japanese are welcome" prominently written on the gate.

A fat Jewish woman was soliciting business at the door.

Everything is for survival.

After driving the car back to work, he saw Mrs. Qiangwei's car parked outside.

What's the matter?
As soon as he walked in, the housekeeper Qiu, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, hurriedly greeted him: "Mr. Meng, my wife has an invitation. I have been waiting for you here for more than two hours..."

……

In Qiangwei Mansion, Cai Xuefei was talking with a thin and refined middle-aged man wearing round-frame glasses.

Seeing Meng Shaoyuan coming in, Cai Xuefei smiled and asked him to sit down: "Mr. Li Jin, this is Boss Meng Shaoyuan."

"Boss Meng, hello." Li Jin greeted politely.

"Shaoyuan, this is Mr. Li Jin, the editor-in-chief of the 'Liaoyuan' magazine."

Li Jin?

Isn't he the great writer who wrote the famous trilogy?
Meng Shaoyuan still respected these people very much.

"Boss Meng." Li Jin said, "The films you showed in Da Guang Guang Cinema exposed the ugly face of Japan and presented the truth to the public. I admire it very much."

You're not here to interview me, are you?
But Meng Shaoyuan soon realized that he was thinking too much.

"Shaoyuan, that's what happened." Cai Xuefei said: "After the fall of Shanghai, the Nationalist government moved westward, and some people in the literary and art circles also left Shanghai and traveled northward. However, including Mr. Li Jin, there are still many people They didn’t leave, they felt that fighting on the isolated island in the Shanghai International Settlement was no less than fighting on the front line, so they resolutely stayed and used their pens to fight against the Japanese!”

Well, the power of a pen is sometimes as powerful as an army.

"Recently, we received a telegram." Li Jin said in an interface: "In March, the 'All-China Literary and Art Circles Against the Enemy Association' will be established in Wuhan. People from the literary and art circles in Shanghai participated, I think this is a very influential thing, so I discussed it with my colleagues in Shanghai, Wuhan, we must go, but..."

"But it's not easy to leave Shanghai." Meng Shaoyuan quickly understood the intention of the other party: "Especially you people in the literary and art circles are more likely to attract the attention of the Japanese side, so you want to ask me to help you leave Shanghai?"

"Yes, yes." Li Jin nodded.

"How many people in total?"

"45 people."

Good guy, there are really a lot of people.

However, this is a good thing.

Unite all people from all walks of life who can unite to fight against Japan together.

"Well, let me help you find a way." Meng Shaoyuan pondered for a while: "Leaving collectively, the goal is too big, and it is easy to arouse the vigilance of the Japanese and cause accidents. I will send you away in batches, and I will guarantee that you can attend the meeting on time. "

"Thank you, thank you, Boss Meng, thank you so much." Li Jin said repeatedly.

Cai Xuefei smiled slightly: "I said to find Boss Meng, there must be a way. Mr. Li Jin, and that matter, you should also talk to Boss Meng."

Anything else?
"That's right, Boss Meng." Li Jin hesitated a little: "I have a friend who came to Shanghai recently, and because he is not familiar with this place, he was arrested by the police."

It's the little things.

Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "What's the name of that friend of yours, and which arrest house caught him."

"His name is Guo Junian, and he was arrested by the arrest house of Jing'an Temple."

"Jing'an Temple arrest house, Detective Ross's place." Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "Well, I happen to be going to the Jing'an Temple arrest house tomorrow to handle errands, and help you release that friend by the way."

"That simple?"

Li Jin was dubious.

Rescuing someone from the arrest room, Meng Shaoyuan looked at it lightly, as if he didn't care at all?Didn't even ask why the other party was arrested?
"Mr. Li Jin, don't worry." Cai Xuefei saw his worry: "Boss Meng is very capable in Shanghai Beach. Rescuing someone from the patrol house is not as difficult as imagined."

"Boss Meng, thank you very much."

Li Jin said quickly.

"It's done. If there's nothing else, let's do it." Meng Shaoyuan looked at the time: "I'm really tired after running all day today. I'll go back and rest first, and wait for my letter."

……

Early in the morning, Meng Shaoyuan went to the arrest house of Jing'an Temple.

The British Inspector Ross is pretty good, one is that he is more sympathetic to the suffering of the Chinese, and the second, of course, is because of the alliance of interests.

Meng Shaoyuan knew the way, and walked straight into Rose's office.

Ross looked at the way he didn't sleep well yesterday, holding a cup of coffee, yawning profusely.

"Ha, Meng, my friend." Seeing Meng Shaoyuan, Ross immediately cheered up: "I didn't go to bed until early in the morning yesterday. I originally wanted to catch up in the morning, but seeing you makes me feel tired."

"I'm afraid you saw this." Meng Shaoyuan smiled and patted the purse he was carrying.

Then, he took out a thick envelope from his purse: "This month's."

Rose took the envelope with a smile on his face, and it was full of money.

This is a dividend of smuggling profits.

"The whole people participated in a vigorous smuggling campaign."

This is the slogan put forward by Meng Shaoyuan.

Most of the detectives in the patrol room joined them.

They escorted Meng Shaoyuan's smuggling team to ensure a smooth journey.

In return, Meng Shaoyuan would distribute part of the smuggling profits to them every month.

It makes sense that Meng Shaoyuan was so "loved" by the police in the International Settlement.

You don't need to love Meng Shaoyuan, but you can't help loving his money.

"I'm going to expand the scale." Meng Shaoyuan sat down and lit a cigarette: "By the end of March, the scale of smuggling can at least double."

That means you can get more money.

Ross understood what this meant all too well: "Meng, no matter what help you need from me, I will never turn back. You know, not only smuggling, but other aspects as well. On the issue of China and Japan, we have been ordered , You are not allowed to express your own opinions, and you are not allowed to take sides with any party, but I and Mr. Police Commissioner are very sympathetic to China."

"I know, you are all my friends." Meng Shaoyuan said flatly: "Between friends, everyone earns money, and everyone shares benefits. By the way, I still need your help with a little matter."

"You are too kind, my friend, and your business is my business."

"Did your arrest house catch a man named Guo Junian?"

"Guo Junian?" Inspector Ross frowned. "Ah, yes, yes, I caught it myself. We conducted a routine inspection on the street, and found some black market drugs in this man's box."

Drug smugglers?

How could a writer like Li Jin have such friends?
"It's not just that." Detective Ross continued: "We took him to the arrest room. We originally dealt with such smugglers, confiscated his medicines, and closed him for a few days. We searched him and found A hotel room key, you know the procedure, we're definitely going to check it out, and guess what we found in the hotel room?"

"what?"

"arms!"

arms?

Meng Shaoyuan thought about it for a while: "Smuggling drugs is profitable and dangerous, and it's okay to carry weapons with you."

"Yes."

Detective Ross smiled mysteriously: "The problem is, not only that, there was a brazier in his room, and a lot of things were burnt in it. Judging from the ashes, it should be some documents or the like. Meng, the identity of this person does not seem to be quite right. Simple."

Meng Shaoyuan was thoughtful: "Ross, this is the big Shanghai, where dragons and snakes are mixed, and the forces of all parties are intertwined. Everyone wants to make a living in it. As long as it is not a particularly serious matter, just turn a blind eye and close one eye. gone."

"Since you spoke, there is no problem." Inspector Ross smiled, picked up the phone, and explained a few times.Then hang up the phone: "Okay, your friend will be released in a while."

"Thank you." Meng Shaoyuan continued: "Also, I will send some people out of Shanghai in two days. I need to borrow some patrolmen from you to escort them to the ship."

"No problem." Rose readily agreed, "What kind of person?"

"Some people who fought for my country with their pens." Meng Shaoyuan did not hide anything: "Sometimes, they are even more important than an army. I must be responsible for sending them to Wuhan safely."

"Writer? You know, I wanted to be a writer when I was young, and I wrote a novel, but no publishing house would publish it for me."

Meng Shaoyuan stood up with a smile: "When you leave office and return to China, your wallet will be full, and you can pay for the publication by yourself. Well, I will pick up my friend and leave. I am so busy, I have to go out for a while." trip."

Detective Ross accompanied him out, and the two chatted for a while in the corridor, and a policeman led a person out: "Inspector, I brought the person you want."

Meng Shaoyuan took a photo with this person named "Guo Junian", and both of them showed astonished expressions on their faces at the same time, which seemed to say at the same time:

It's you?
