Lost and Spy

Chapter 793 British Spy
"Thirty people, are there only eight left?"

Dai Li frowned as he looked at the list submitted by Meng Shaoyuan.

Less than one-third, isn't this elimination rate too high?

"Mr. Dai, according to my idea, there are only three people who are fully qualified." Meng Shaoyuan replied in an interface: "But thinking that Mr. Dai is in a hurry to hire people, we carefully selected five. Although there are not many people, please Mr. Dai Don't worry, the strength of these eight people completely exceeds that of thirty people, and they can complete the mission of deep lurking."

"I hope so." Dai Li's eyes were still fixed on the list: "Then what about the 22 people who were eliminated?"

"There are nine suitable captains."

Not suitable for deep lurking, but not necessarily unsuitable for the position of officer.Dai Li, who has been in officialdom for a long time, knows this very well.

"There are ten more people who can lurk as businessmen, porters, etc. Although there is no way to complete confidential tasks, they are still capable of delivering ordinary information." Meng Shaoyuan continued: "As for the remaining three people, Mr. Dai , I think they will defect sooner or later."

"So sure?"

"It is the conclusion obtained after analysis." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "We don't have such conditions yet, but sooner or later, there will be a special analyst in the organization to analyze the character of the agent, the success rate of the mission, and Guarantees in all aspects. An agent will have a huge team behind him in the future."

That day will come soon.

Sooner or later, the era of the lone hero will pass.

To be honest, Dai Li didn't quite believe what Meng Shaoyuan said. A huge team serves only one person?So how big will this organization be?

However, he believed in Meng Shaoyuan's vision: "Then according to what you said, I will make arrangements for everyone. These three agents who may defect will never be reused."

The fate of the three people was decided in these few words.

Outside the house, another sharp air defense siren sounded.

"Mr. Dai, the Japanese air raid, go to the air-raid shelter to hide for a while."

"It's okay." Dai Li was as calm as when he was on the pier that day: "The target of the Japanese plane is not me, not to mention, the Russian pilots we have worked so hard to bring back will help us drive the Japanese plane away. There is no fuss. This time you came to Wuhan, and you have done a few things, especially the case of Sun Liangqun defecting to the enemy."

Meng Shaoyuan sneered in his heart.

Sun Liangqun was wronged, he knew this, Dai Li knew it, most people knew it, but no one dared to say a word for him.

It's a kind of tragedy for a person to do this, right?
"Sun Liangqun, I am sending people to step up the interrogation." Dai Li took out a telegram from the drawer: "You can take this telegram and read it."

Meng Shaoyuan took the telegram.

This telegram was actually sent to Chen Cheng, Chairman of the HUB Provincial Government, and the sender was Wu Tiecheng, Chairman of the Guangdong Provincial Government and Security Commander.

The content of the telegram was related to Japanese spies.However, the main person mentioned in the telegram was an Englishman, a businessman in Shanghai, and then went to Guangdong, and recently arrived in Wuhan, and then planned to go to Chongqing.

The telegram claimed that Bridger had relatively close contacts with Japanese spy agencies recently, and he was suspected of engaging in espionage activities for the Japanese side. He hoped that the military government of HUB Province would investigate.

Chen Cheng immediately reported the telegram to the national government, and the national government immediately ordered the military command to cooperate with the HUB provincial government to conduct a strict investigation.

Bridger?
As soon as he heard the name, Meng Shaoyuan immediately realized that this person was not a great spy, but he caused Sino-British diplomatic disputes.

Foreigners in this era have a privilege in China, consular jurisdiction.

Consular jurisdiction is a system in which a country exercises jurisdiction over its nationals in the territory of another country in accordance with its own laws through consulates stationed abroad.This is a kind of extraterritoriality, an illegal privilege enjoyed by imperialism in colonial countries.

In modern China, more than 20 countries have successively obtained consular jurisdiction, including Britain, France, the United States, Russia, Germany, Japan, Austria-Hungary, and Italy.

During the Anti-Japanese War, the big powers still enjoyed this privilege in China.

It is precisely because of the existence of this privilege that Japan has developed some personnel from third countries who have consular jurisdiction in China to provide them with information on China's military, political, economic and other aspects.

Even if the perpetrators are caught, the Chinese side cannot casually take severe measures.The "Brilliant Spy Case" in Wuhan is a typical example.

"We will cooperate with the Inspection Office of the Wuhan Police Headquarters." Dai Li took back the telegram: "Originally, your mission in Wuhan has been completed and I want you to go back, but this Bai Lifu came from Shanghai. You Just work harder."

"Shanghai has such a large population, how can I care about it?" Meng Shaoyuan muttered.

"What did you say?"

"I said, I will try my best to complete the task." Meng Shaoyuan quickly changed his words: "Mr. Dai, as long as Bai Lifu is still in Wuhan, it is not difficult to catch him, but it is too troublesome to cooperate with the inspection office. Let me do it alone Bar."

"No, this is personally instructed by the higher-ups." Dai Li refused straight away, but then said calmly: "It is He Zhiyuan who contacted the inspection office specifically, and you are not from Wuhan. Everything you do is done privately. Yes, I don't even know."

"Understood, Mr. Dai." Meng Shaoyuan came to his senses immediately: "In three days, I solved this case."

Dai Li had no doubts about Meng Shaoyuan's swiftness in solving the case: "Speed ​​up, there will be a plane going to Chongqing in a few days, let your family go with the plane, and I will help you arrange it."

"Thank you Mr. Dai."

Meng Shaoyuan was overjoyed immediately. It was a quick way to fly directly from Wuhan to Chongqing.

"One more thing, you have to remember it for me." Dai Li made a special statement: "The defense of Wuhan is an extraordinary period, and the most important thing is solidarity. Don't cause any trouble for me."

"Don't worry, Mr. Dai, I will be careful."

"Okay, here are all the materials related to Bridger that we can get, take it and read it on the road."

……

As soon as he came out of Dai Li, Meng Shaoyuan went directly to Zangyunyuan by car, called everyone out, and asked them to get ready and fly to Chongqing in a few days.

Cai Xuefei and these women are still a little reluctant.

After this farewell, I don't know when I will see my man again.

"I will send a telegram to Chongqing immediately." Qiu Xingchang said quickly, "I will ask them to pick him up at the airport."

"No." Meng Shaoyuan shook his head: "The telegram is very likely to be intercepted by the Japanese. If they intercept it in the air, it is easy to cause accidents. Chongqing is the rear area, it is very safe. Moreover, there is no need to get it for my family. Inspire the teachers and move the crowd."

"Then you are going back to Shanghai?" Cai Xuefei asked reluctantly.

Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Don't worry, I will definitely go to Chongqing to see you when I am free. Qianyi, when they arrive in Chongqing, all the arrangements will be left to you and Qiu Xingchang."

"I know." Shang Qianyi nodded: "You can rest assured that you are in Shanghai."

"Director Meng, Deputy Section Chief Wang is here."

When Meng Shaoyuan heard this, he immediately let some women in.

When Wang Nanxing came in, he was in high spirits.

Sun Liangqun, who had been in trouble with the Operations Division, finally collapsed, and the Operations Division no longer had to be so aggrieved.

If it were said that Section Chief Meng had a way, he came to Wuhan and solved Sun Liangqun's trouble in a matter of minutes.

In the future, follow Section Chief Meng seriously, you can't go wrong.

"Deputy Section Chief Wang, just received a new order." Meng Shaoyuan didn't talk nonsense, and cut straight to the point: "We want to arrest an Englishman named Bridger, who used to be in Shanghai, then went to Guangdong, and is now in Wuhan. He lives Where it is, it’s not clear. What is the specific task, it’s not clear. It’s not clear when I’m going to leave Wuhan.”

Then how to check?
Meng Shaoyuan was confident: "According to the information we have so far, it is the first time for Billy to come to Wuhan, but he has a few friends in the banking industry. According to normal thinking, he is likely to seek refuge with his friends in Wuhan. From his point of view, he will definitely find a place where there are many foreigners, one is easy to hide, and the other is that he can have asylum as a foreigner in case of danger."

"Jingming Building in Special District Three." Upon hearing this, Wang Nanxing blurted out immediately without thinking: "Jingming Foreign Firm was originally established for the UK, and was later rented by Belgian Bank. Most of the people living there are British. According to your thinking, they There's a good chance it's hiding there."

"Send someone to keep an eye on Jingming Building immediately."

In the end, we still need the assistance of the local people. Meng Shaoyuan immediately ordered: "Once you find the whereabouts of Bai Lifu, don't act rashly, and keep an eye on him. Remember, if you are not sure, you must not do anything. After all, he is British."

"On your own land, you have to look forward and backward when you arrest someone." Wang Nanxing also sighed helplessly: "A few days ago, an American was caught taking pictures in a military restricted area, and he was arrested, which immediately aroused protests from the American consulate. The only way is to let him go, and what's even more ridiculous is to return his camera to him."

"Deputy Section Chief Wang, pay attention to your wording." Meng Shaoyuan reminded him in particular: "Negotiations with foreigners are the government's business. We just need to do our own job well."

"Yes, Chief Meng, I was wrong."

"The Inspection Office of the Wuhan Police Headquarters also participated in the investigation of this case." Meng Shaoyuan thought for a while and said, "Try to avoid conflicts with the Inspection Office. In extraordinary times, unity is the priority."

"Understood, Section Chief Meng, I know Director Li of the Inspection Office, and I have a good relationship with him. If there is something really wanted, there is still room for maneuver."

"Okay." Meng Shaoyuan felt relieved when he heard this: "Gan Ning, you cooperate with Deputy Section Chief Wang to act together. During the operation, Deputy Section Chief Wang will take the lead."

"clear."

Meng Shaoyuan searched: "Go, I promise Mr. Dai to solve the case within three days!"
