Lost and Spy

Chapter 850 Arrogance
January 1938, 10, Shanghai.

Scrure Company Shanghai Office.

Zhou Weilong was in a great mood.

Tang Shaoyi was killed.

It was an action personally deployed and directed by him.

Since he served as the head of the military-controlled Shanghai District, he has been the head of the Shanghai Latent District, and his evaluation by outsiders has always been only two words:
mediocre.

No merit nor fault.

But today is different.

The assassination of Tang was bound to become the pride of his life.

"District Chief Zhou."

"Morning District Chief Zhou."

When he saw his subordinates, he greeted them one by one.

"Call the staff for a meeting in a while."

Just as Zhou Weilong finished speaking, a sharp siren suddenly sounded outside the door.

Before the people here could react, a large number of policemen swarmed in.

"Calm down."

Seeing that his subordinates wanted to take weapons, Zhou Weilong remained calm: "Without my order, don't act rashly."

It was not the Japanese spies who rushed in, but the police officers!

There was no way he could fire on patrols in the International Settlement.

"Mr. Zhou."

A person walked out slowly from behind the patrol.

"Mr. Sinclair?"

When he saw clearly that the person in front of him was Sinclair, the chief of the Police Department of the International Settlement, Zhou Weilong was taken aback, knowing that something was going to happen:

"Mr. Police Commissioner, why are you here in person today?"

"Search." Sinclair looked at him: "I received information that there are dangerous goods hidden in these, so I specially led a team to check. Mr. Zhou, please abide by the laws of the public concession, and let your people not resist."

"of course."

Zhou Weilong sat down and lit a cigarette...

……

More than a dozen pistols, two submachine guns, two radios, and a large number of documents were found.

There is even a secret code of the military command.

Zhou Weilong's face was a little ugly.

"These, what are they?" Sinclair looked at some of the searched items.

"For self-defense."

At the critical moment, Zhou Weilong remained calm: "There have been too many homicides in the Shanghai International Settlement recently. I bought a batch of weapons for self-defense."

"What about the radio station? It's also for self-defense?"

"That's for business."

"Oh, is that so?" Sinclair smiled: "Mr. Zhou Weilong, you were arrested for hiding dangerous guns and unknown radio stations. Please cooperate with your people, and we will protect all your rights."

Zhou Weilong put out the cigarette butt, and stood up calmly: "Please call Litong Company for me and tell Boss Meng that I have been taken to the police station. Help me hire a good lawyer."

"Okay, I will, Mr. Zhou."

……

1938年10月2日上午9点30，军统上海潜伏区区长周伟龙遭到公共租界巡捕房逮捕。

At 9:35, Shanghai Litong Company received a call to report the matter.

"Zhou Weilong has been arrested."

"Understood, prepare the car, and I'll go to the Ministry of Industry Bureau." Meng Shaoyuan immediately stood up.

Wu Jingyi hesitated for a moment, then said:

"Director Meng, this is an opportunity once and for all."

"I know what you mean, use this time to completely get rid of Zhou Weilong." Meng Shaoyuan smiled bitterly: "But I can't do it. Zhou Weilong has served the military command loyally for so many years, and I can't do it to my own people. My own people Killing one's own people is what the Japanese want to see most."

"Director Meng, Secretary Chen is here."

"Ah, please."

As soon as the words fell, Chen Shixian walked in with a serious face: "What happened?"

"Yes, District Chief Zhou has been arrested."

"Japanese?"

"Public concession!"

"The situation is serious." Chen Shixian immediately said: "I will send a report to Chongqing immediately, you go and check on Zhou Weilong's situation."

"clear."

Meng Shaoyuan knew very well that although Dai Li also had a lot of dissatisfaction with Zhou Weilong, this person Dai Li must try to rescue him...

……

According to Meng Shaoyuan's instructions, Zhou Weilong was detained in a good environment.

A separate room with all daily necessities.

Even, cigarettes and alcohol were specially prepared for him.

"District Chief Zhou."

"Ah, here we come."

As soon as he saw Meng Shaoyuan coming in, Zhou Weilong beckoned him to sit down, as if he was in his own home: "The concession is too fast, I didn't expect it."

"I've investigated, and it was Xie Zhipan's mistress who betrayed this operation." Meng Shaoyuan said immediately.

Zhou Weilong nodded: "Is there a way to get me out?"

"It's difficult, but I will definitely find a way." Meng Shaoyuan interjected: "District Chief Zhou, you have been wronged here for a few days, and I will handle the outside affairs."

"Shaoyuan, thank you very much." Zhou Weilong looked very calm: "The arrest this time is equivalent to the destruction of the headquarters of the Shanghai Latent Area. According to my estimation, even if I can be released immediately, I am afraid I will not be able to stay in Shanghai." .”

Zhou Weilong's judgment was very clear.

He looked at Meng Shaoyuan: "Shaoyuan, Cheng Yiming has already been driven away, now it's my turn, we two get out, this Shanghai is your Shanghai alone."

There is something in the words.

Meng Shaoyuan said calmly, "Major Zhou, this Shanghai is the government's Shanghai."

"Well said, well said." Zhou Weilong smiled: "The military controls the Big Three in Shanghai, and your brother Shaoyuan is the youngest one, but he is impeccable in everything he does."

Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "Major Zhou, you don't suspect that this incident is related to me, do you?"

"No, no."

Zhou Weilong smiled "haha": "Look, I was arrested, but those foreigners treat me like a distinguished guest, give me such a good place to live, drink and smoke, I'm afraid it's because of you Shaoyuan On my brother's face?"

"Yes," Meng Shaoyuan also admitted frankly: "I, Meng Shaoyuan, have a good relationship with the Ministry of Industry, and everyone knows it. Although District Chief Zhou was arrested, he still needs to show some face."

"It's done, let's stop pretending."

Zhou Weilong sighed: "Shao Yuan, let me talk to you from the bottom of my heart. Before, we fought for more than a day or two. Now I also see that I am going to leave. This Shanghai is left to you. In the future My relationship with Director Dai, and the achievements I have made this time, will not treat me badly when I return to Chongqing."

I'm afraid Zhou Weilong's problem can't be changed.

In the future, when he dies, he will also die from the fault of arrogance.

"You are in Shanghai, and I am in Chongqing." Zhou Weilong said proudly: "After all, we are colleagues, and we got along pretty well in the past. Shanghai and Chongqing echo each other and support each other. The entire military command, except Director Dai, everyone else has to Do things according to our faces, Shao Yuan, you should understand what I mean, you should know what to do in the future, right?"

Brother, you are in prison, but you are still thinking about these things?

Meng Shaoyuan stood up helplessly: "District Chief Zhou, I understand. I will report this matter to Chief Dai and rescue you as soon as possible. Take care."

take care.

Goodbye.

The era of military control of the Big Three in Shanghai is over!
