Lost and Spy

Chapter 845 Losing Business
There was a bloody storm in Shanghai for a while, Yang Boyan and other well-known traitors were all ruthlessly eradicated by the military.

This quickly aroused the panic of the traitors.

The military command began to kill!
In the past, of course, the military command also killed traitors, but it was definitely not as ruthless as it is now.

It seemed that overnight, they targeted them mainly against the Japanese.

Killing and killing can always give someone off, and can always make those traitors temporarily peaceful for a period of time.

temporary.

Once the storm is over, these traitors, big and small, will reappear.

And when Meng Shaoyuan was attacking the traitors in Shanghai, Zhou Weilong, the head of the military-controlled Shanghai latent area, also fixed his eyes on a suspect:
Tang Shaoyi!
This Republic of China veteran is very likely to rebel!
Once you betray, start assassination immediately!

In Zhou Weilong's eyes, assassinating one Tang Shaoyi would bring more influence than assassinating dozens of traitors!

The Tang Mansion was closely watched.

Meng Shaoyuan seems to have given up the credit for assassinating Tang Shaoyi.

On September 1938, 9, the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry in the Shanghai International Settlement.

"Mr. Meng Shaoyuan, Mr. Habara Koichi."

Moyes, the president of the Board of Directors of the Ministry of Industry, stared at the two people in front of him: "I know that there is a great grievance between you, but now Mr. Meng Shaoyuan has requested to meet, so I made an appointment to meet the two of you. This is the Ministry of Industry, and neither of you brought any Weapons, you can calm down and have an open and honest talk. Please remember to abide by the laws of the public concession and don't let unpleasant things happen."

"Mr. President, I think we will." Meng Shaoyuan smiled.

"That's good." Moyes stood up: "From now on, this office will belong to you temporarily, and you can talk here as long as you want."

This time, it was a negotiation invited by Meng Shaoyuan.

When the Japanese received the invitation for this negotiation, they were a little surprised.

That public enemy of Japan actually took the initiative to invite negotiations?
What kind of medicine is he selling in his gourd?

Habara Koichi took the initiative to ask Ying to undertake the important task of this negotiation.

No one wants to sit face to face with Meng Shaoyuan and have a good talk with Meng Shaoyuan more than him.

"Meng Shaoyuan, is there any conspiracy, will he take this opportunity to assassinate?" Kenji Doihara was still a little worried.

"No, sir, he is not such a person." Habara Koichi said with certainty: "In Shanghai, negotiations between intelligence agencies will happen frequently. If he uses this opportunity to make a big fuss, then, He will lose all opportunities for future negotiations. He also knows that even if he successfully assassinates me, it will not have much impact on the big situation. In his eyes, I am just a small person."

"Then, let's take this opportunity to kill him!" Gongdao Hiroshi said murderously.

Hikaru Habara smiled: "Do you think he will give you such a chance? Since he dared to meet us, he is fully armed from the hair on."

Therefore, Habara Koichi came to see Meng Shaoyuan calmly, even bringing only two followers.

"The first time we met was in Nanjing." Habara Koichi said calmly, "At that time, your name was Rukawa Kaede. Who would have thought that the person sitting in front of me would be the strongest agent on the surface?"

"This is the nickname you Japanese gave me." Meng Shaoyuan took out the cigarette case: "Smoking?"

"Egyptian cigarettes? You still have money." Hahara Koichi took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, and took out a lighter to help Meng Shaoyuan light the cigarette: "The money you cheated from Matsudaira Tetsuhiro this time is enough You have lived in luxury for a long time."

Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "You don't care?"

"Care? Why should I care?" Habara Koichi lit a cigarette for himself: "That's a matter for the Ministry of Finance. I'm in charge of intelligence work. They have accidents, and I don't have much to do with them. Human energy is limited. , if we have to control everything, we won’t be able to control everything. If the country wants to be held accountable, we don’t have any responsibility.”

Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "You have always been a smart person."

They looked at the casual chat here, and they didn't look like enemies who were bent on taking each other's lives.

"You have killed a lot of Chinese people during this time." Habara Hikaru sighed: "You made those, yes, the traitors are panic-stricken, which has brought a lot of passiveness to our work."

Meng Shaoyuan also sighed: "Unfortunately, there are still two biggest traitors that have not been eradicated."

Of course Habara Koichi knew that the two biggest traitors he was talking about were Miao Chengfang and Tian Qi: "Mr. Meng, tell me, what is the specific content of the negotiation you proposed today?"

Meng Shaoyuan was silent for a while: "I will exchange five of your captured agents for one!"

Almost instantly Yu Yuanguang guessed: "Liao Yuting?"

"Yes, that's him." Meng Shaoyuan admitted frankly, "How is he doing now?"

"Not very good." Habara Koichi said honestly: "The continuous interrogation, the continuous torture that I have always opposed, has made him to the point where his oil is exhausted. Our doctors tried their best to rescue him. But I’m afraid it won’t last long.”

Meng Shaoyuan's heart sank.

Trying to save Liao Yuting is something that Gu Fanyuan asked himself to do. He has already lost a son on the battlefield, and Liao Yuting is his only son.

Meng Shaoyuan will try his best to do this.

He knew that after being held for a long time, the Japanese should have gotten what they wanted from Liao Yuting, and Liao Yuting was of little value to them.

This thing is very likely to be done.

Although Liao Yuting's way of doing things is radical, he is not even a member of the military commander, and he almost killed Meng Shaoyuan several times, but a man who has been silently lurking for the country for so many years, sent so many pieces of information, and saved so many lives Agent, he should give him an explanation.

Even if it is the last confession.

"Mr. Meng, I don't really understand." Habara Koichi raised his own doubts: "Liao Yuting is dying, and I can prove this. Is it worth it for you to exchange five imperial agents for a dying person?"

"How should I explain it?" Meng Shaoyuan said after pondering for a moment: "In your eyes, Liao Yuting is a traitor and a spy, but in our eyes, he is a hero. Just like Bannai Kangying, in the eyes of you Japanese He is also a hero. The Chinese have a custom that when a person is about to die, he must die on his own bed, so that his future soul can find his way home.”

"Ah, it's similar to our Japanese soul-calling ceremony." Hahara Koichi seemed to understand: "Mr. Meng, out of respect for you, I can try to facilitate this. However, this is a business, and Liao Yuting didn't have too much However, since you took the initiative to raise it, it will become valuable in an instant, so please forgive me, your price is not enough."

Meng Shaoyuan felt helpless.

It really is a business.

When negotiating business, you must be calm and see who asks the price first.But now that he is pregnant with the know-how of doing business, he has nothing to do. He can wait, but Liao Yuting can't afford to wait.

The initiative of this business has been controlled by Habara Koichi.

"Tell me." Meng Shaoyuan smiled wryly, "What price do you want?"

"Ten of our captured agents." Habara Koichi said loudly: "I will write you the specific list. If any one of them cannot be released, we will refuse to do this business."

He immediately took a pen and paper and wrote down the names of ten people.

Meng Shaoyuan took it over and took a look: "Mr. Yuyuan, this business can't be done. Look, here is the deputy station chief of your Jing'an Temple Liaison Station, and the captain of the mobile team. These are important people. Take it for another." Dying people, I refuse."

Now that the initiative is in the opponent's hands, what Meng Shaoyuan has to do is how to minimize the chips he is about to pay.

"But the value on them, if I guess right, will be squeezed out by you, right?"

The two elites in the intelligence circles of China and Japan began to bargain here like hawkers in a vegetable market.

The two sides are digging a little bit, and often a person's name can almost cause a fierce quarrel.

For an entire hour, they debated the list.

In the end, the two sides determined the list to be seven people.

Seven people for one!
"Mr. Yuyuan, let me tell you something from my heart." Meng Shaoyuan shook his head slightly: "Since I arrived in Shanghai, this is the first time I have lost money in business."

"Man, it won't be smooth sailing for the rest of our lives. We have suffered so many losses from you, and finally gained a little upper hand." Habara Koichi said very seriously: "But I'm sure, with your character, you must I will try my best to make back the loss I suffered this time."

He was right.

Meng Shaoyuan is by no means the one who suffers.

"Mr. Meng, I have another question, but it's not within the scope of the negotiation, it's just my personal question."

"Please say."

"You, can you really see what's going on in people's hearts?"

Habara Koichi said seriously: "I don't believe in miraculous stories, I only believe in science, I guess, you must have mastered some kind of subject that we don't know, it is probably psychology, but your knowledge is far away. surpassed us. With the leading technology, many people will think that you have mysterious power. Is that so?"

"There are so many miraculous things in this world." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Primitive people saw fire for the first time and respected it like a god, but then they discovered the beauty of fire. Human fantasy soars in the sky, so The aircraft was invented. You are right, what I have mastered is nothing more than science. Japan has quickly overwhelmed China after a painful development. And I am also using the knowledge I have to seize the lead over you!"

"I understand." Habara Koichi stood up: "You are an opponent worthy of my respect. See you on the battlefield, Mr. Meng."

"See you on the battlefield, Mr. Habara, I think the war between us is far from over!"
