Lost and Spy

Chapter 758
This is the second day after the Soviet pilots arrived in Shanghai.

The Japanese do not seem to have discovered the existence of these foreign pilots.

But how to send them out safely?
This requires careful planning.

Mr. Gong also has no news.

Has this person arrived in Shanghai?
How safe is it now?

Know nothing.

Meng Shaoyuan found that inspectors have great powers, which can easily create a sense of mystery, and this often makes communication between them difficult.

Since the Japanese already knew of Mr. Gong's existence, they would definitely try to catch him.

January 1938, 6, afternoon.

Meng Shaoyuan went to the International Hotel and chatted with Colonel Anatolysky for a while.

The mood of the Soviet pilots was relatively stable.

Some people who had physical problems during the long-distance travel were also treated in time.

Anatolysky is still very satisfied with the arrangement of the Chinese side. He just asked when they can leave Shanghai, so that they can reunite with their comrades who are fighting in Wuhan as soon as possible, and severely attack those barbaric Japanese!

Meng Shaoyuan gave a clear answer that within ten days, they would be sent out of Shanghai safely no matter what.

Colonel Anatolysky originally wanted to stay with Meng Shaoyuan for dinner, but thinking of the colonel's drinking capacity, Meng Shaoyuan couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle, so he quickly found an excuse to decline.

Just kidding, drink again, I'm really going to die here.

As soon as we arrived at the lobby downstairs, Manager Ge was already waiting there: "Boss Meng, Manager Xu Chengbo Xu called and asked you to go to his place as soon as the business here is done."

"Oh, I got it." Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "Old Ge, my guest, you must take good care of them. Once suspicious people appear on their floors, they will be arrested secretly. If you encounter resistance, you will be killed."

"Yes, Boss Meng."

Meng Shaoyuan was about to leave when he stopped suddenly: "Old Ge, you have accumulated a lot of wealth in Shanghai for so many years, right?"

Manager Ge immediately smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I bought a few houses and rented them out to others, and I really made a little money."

"It's good to make money, who doesn't want to make money." Meng Shaoyuan said immediately: "You have to believe me, in the past two years, I sold all the real estate such as the house, exchanged it for US dollars, pounds and gold, and deposited it in foreign banks."

Manager Ge was startled, and then he understood: "Boss Meng, you mean that the situation in Shanghai has changed?"

"Not for the time being." Meng Shaoyuan couldn't tell him what to say clearly: "In the past two years, the concession will continue to run and dance, but it will be hard to say in the future. I heard that the United States has encountered a major financial crisis. It has not slowed down until now, the house price is extremely low, you take the money and go to the United States to buy a few houses, and they will also be your charter company."

"Hey, I'll do as you said." Manager Ge didn't hesitate at all: "I'm also thinking about sending my wife and children to foreign countries or Hong Kong. It's convenient to do things here alone. But you also know my identity , I can't leave."

"Be prepared in advance." Meng Shaoyuan patted him on the shoulder: "I'm alone in Shanghai. It's going to be really busy, and it's convenient to run. I personally approved it."

"Then I really have to thank you, Boss Meng."

Manager Ge is a little different from other members of the military command organization. When he was absorbed into the organization, he was already married and had a family, so he was considered a non-staff member of the military command organization.

However, he has devoted himself to his duties in recent years, and his reputation has always been very good, and he is basically regarded as a member of the army.

……

"Boss Meng."

As soon as he saw Meng Shaoyuan entering the company, Xu Chengbo rushed out to greet him.

"What's the matter, so urgent?"

"Someone from Chongqing is here."

Xu Chengbo said in a low voice.

"Oh, really?"

Meng Shaoyuan immediately followed Xu Chengbo into his office.

"Chief Meng!"

In the office, a young man full of vigor stood up with a "huh".

Those who don't call Meng Shaoyuan "director" but "section chief" are all "old people".

"Qiu Xingchang!"

Meng Shaoyuan was startled, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Why did you come to Shanghai?"

"Subordinates miss Section Chief Meng all the time, so this time there is an opportunity, and subordinates can't wait to rush to Shanghai immediately, so that they can listen to Section Chief Meng's teachings face to face."

"roll!"

Meng Shaoyuan scolded with a smile: "I found that your kid's flattering skills have improved a lot."

Xu Chengbo arranged for the two of them, walked out wisely, and closed the office door smoothly.

He is Boss Meng's confidant, but he mainly helps him in the smuggling business.

The less I know about military affairs, the better.

"Why did you come here?" Meng Shaoyuan immediately asked after sitting down.

"Xingchang doesn't know much about other people, but he knows that this is the property of Chief Meng. Manager Xu and our Qiu family often communicate by telegram and letter, and have been to Chongqing twice, so I think this is the safest place."

Qiu Xingchang's words made Meng Shaoyuan's expression serious: "Tell me, is there any special task that makes you so nervous?"

"Meng Section Chief, you probably know that Director Dai sent an inspector to Shanghai?"

Meng Shaoyuan was taken aback, he had talked about this matter with Wu Jingyi last night, and in the morning he secretly sent a telegram to Dai Li asking about it: "What's wrong?"

"The Second Division of our Military Command is about to establish a separate military command bureau. The director He Yaozu, the deputy director Dai Li, and Director Dai are in charge of the main affairs. This time, Director Dai has sent many inspectors to various places in order to ensure a stable situation. Excessive, Shanghai is the top priority, so Director Dai sent a key member, Mr. Gong."

Qiu Xingchang carefully explained: "The inspector's request is to have nothing to do with the leaders of the local organization, and have nothing to do with local interests, so as to be fair and just. Mr. Gong, the inspector sent to Shanghai this time, has been working in Beiping, Activities in Tianjin and other places. In February of the 26th year of the Republic of China, it was transferred to Hong Kong on the eve of the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, and this time it was specially transferred from Hong Kong."

Dai Li also took great pains.

Qiu Xingchang paused for a moment, and then continued to report: "After giving him the order, we received another top-secret information that the Japanese secret service agency had already grasped the situation of Mr. Gong's departure, and planned to assassinate him in Shanghai to create chaos. "

Meng Shaoyuan frowned.

This is completely consistent with the information I just got.

"In order to ensure the smooth completion of the assassination mission, the Japanese secret service agency sent their ace agent, Tahara Kota, who was personally responsible for the assassination." Qiu Xingchang said everything he knew: "Tahara Kota has also been in Hong Kong, Macau and other places. Carried out activities and killed many of our people, known as 'the strongest killer in Japan'."

Japan's strongest killer?
The strongest agent on the surface?
Meng Shaoyuan smiled.

"During the time in Hong Kong, Mr. Gong and Yukita Tahara fought too many times, and they are old enemies." Qiu Xingchang drank his saliva and said: "Because of the previous incidents in Shanghai's Japanese special agencies, the Japanese suspected that there were moles around him, so Kota Tahara decided to act alone. , to avoid leaks of information, resulting in the failure of the operation.”

"Detailed information on Kota Tahara."

"This person is 44 years old. His public identity is a Japanese businessman in Hong Kong. Our comrades in Hong Kong managed to get a photo of him."

Qiu Xingchang took out a photo while talking.

Meng Shaoyuan took it over and took a look.

The photo was taken relatively clearly. The man above looked a little fat, with thick hair, big eyes, and a big man with two dimples.

No matter how you look at it, he looks like an amiable middle-aged man, who has no connection with the strongest killer at all.

The work in Chongqing has been done very meticulously, and even got photos of the opponent.

"This is Mr. Gong's photo." Qiu Xingchang immediately took out the second photo: "Director Dai has specially ordered that even he only has this one photo of Mr. Gong. burn."

Meng Shaoyuan looked carefully. The photo was very old and blurry, but he could barely distinguish it. He remembered the face in the photo firmly in his mind, then lit the lighter, and watched the photo burn down with his own eyes. in front of oneself.

"Meng Section Chief, Director Dai specifically found me this time and sent me here. Director Dai asked me to tell you that since the situation has changed, you will be personally responsible for Mr. Gong's safety in Shanghai to ensure that nothing happens to him. "

The person Dai Li trusted most was himself. He knew that Qiu Xingchang was from Chongqing, so he specially arranged for him to come.This is tantamount to giving everything Mr. Gong has in Shanghai to himself.

"How can I find Mr. Gong?"

"Director Dai has made proper arrangements. After Mr. Gong arrives in Shanghai, once special circumstances happen, he will appear in different places on different days. Tomorrow is the 28th, at 12:307 noon, No. [-], Laojiaicai Lane, you I will meet Mr. Gong there. I also brought the connection code. And Director Dai asked you to ask Mr. Gong, what day is the first day of June?"

"How should he answer?"

"His answer was that my birthday on the file is the sixth day of August, but my real birthday is the first day of June. So, that is my birthday. Mr. Dai said that this photo was taken many years ago ’” isn’t particularly accurate.But this issue is only known to Director Dai and Mr. Gong, so no one can fake it.

"Mr. Dai is really meticulous in his work." Meng Shaoyuan sighed softly: "I see, your journey is hard, take a rest first, and I will explain to you in detail tonight."

"Yes, Section Chief Meng." Qiu Xingchang hesitated for a moment: "I, I brought someone back to Shanghai this time."

"Who?" Meng Shaoyuan's face darkened instantly.

"Chief Meng, I know this violates discipline, but she insists on coming with me."

"Oh, can't even you refuse?"

"It's not that I can't refuse, but I really can't refuse."

"Then let her come out and meet."

"Yes, Chief Meng, I'll let her in now."

A few minutes later, the office door was pushed open again, and then a nice voice came out:
"Boss Meng, how are you doing in Shanghai? This is handsome!"
