Lost and Spy

Chapter 1275
On February 1940, 2, Jiaxu Day in the Yimao Year of the lunar calendar.

On this day, after the British Sir Claes resigned, Kai Ziwei, who is also from the UK, officially took office as the general director of the Shanghai Public Settlement Industry Bureau.

When he heard the news, Meng Shaoyuan laughed.

He even popped a bottle of wine to celebrate.

Of course, he couldn't remember the names of every director of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, but he couldn't remember the last British director of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce very clearly.

Unlike other British people, he seems to be born to be the enemy of the Japanese. It can even be said that he hates the Japanese.

All the grievances between him and the Japanese, and even when he was shot by the Japanese later, have accumulated since the first day he became the general manager.

The Military Control Bureau has just passed the dark period after Klaas took office, and will soon usher in the happy period after Kaiziwei took office.

On the first day Kai Ziwei came to power, he personally signed an order to reappoint Sinclair as the police chief of the Ministry of Industry.

With Kaiziwei's acquiescence, Sinclair also signed his first order after his reinstatement:
Immediately release all captured military officers, including Song Deng.

At the same time, they sternly warned No. 76:
If there is another incident of violating the laws of the concession, the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry will not ignore it.

The changes are so fast, it seems that the sky has changed overnight.

On February 2, which is the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Kai Ziwei met with Meng Shaoyuan, the general manager of Litong Company.

"You are not a general manager." Kai Ziwei said straight to the point: "Your real identity is the head of the Shanghai District of the Military Control Bureau, and you are the biggest spy chief of the Nationalist Government in Shanghai."

"And then?" Meng Shaoyuan asked with a smile.

"Shanghai is mixed with fish and dragons, from the military, the central government, the Workers' and Peasants' Party, and the Japanese. It has become a vegetable market." Kai Ziwei said with a serious expression: "I need to restore order in the public concession, and I need you to help me restore the public order." Order in the concession!"

I need your assistance in restoring order in the International Settlement!

Just such a sentence, it shows Kai Ziwei's attitude.

"That's my honor." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "I am fully capable of this. I command thousands of military command agents, not counting the guerrillas and peripheral personnel. I also have a large number of youth gang disciples under me, who are from all walks of life. With my people! When Klaas was here, I could make Shanghai into chaos overnight. But now that you are the managing director, I can restore order in Shanghai as quickly as possible!"

He has nothing to hide.

"Then, it's settled." Kai Ziwei was also polite: "I hope the previous unhappiness will disappear. Of course, your identity is still the general manager of Litong Company. The public concession rejects activities of armed personnel like you."

"Of course." Meng Shaoyuan smiled brightly: "I am a serious businessman. Ah, by the way, I also brought you some gifts, can I let my people bring them in?"

"I don't take any bribes."

"Where did you go, Mr. President, I am an upright person, and I never use money to bribe others."

Meng Shaoyuan asked Li Zhifeng to bring in two greased paper bags and opened them: "Look, I made my people wait in line for a long time to buy decent pig's head meat and peanuts. It's Chinese New Year, so it's not very easy to buy."

"I don't eat this kind of thing."

Kai Ziwei shrugged.

"You have to taste it." Meng Shaoyuan pointed to the pork head meat: "If we want to be friends, we must first accept each other's preferences. A bag of pork head meat, a bag of peanuts, and a bottle of wine are perfect."

Then, he took the top hat from Li Zhifeng: "There are still a few hours, and the New Year is coming. Chinese New Year is as important as your Christmas. Happy Chinese New Year, Mr. Dong."

"Happy Chinese New Year, Mr. General Manager."

Watching Meng Shaoyuan leave, Kai Ziwei hesitated for a long time, then picked up a small piece of pork head with his hands, mustered up the courage to put it in his mouth, chewed it for a while, and said to himself:

“The taste seems to be pretty good!”

……

"Are you all ready?"

"It's all ready!"

Meng Shaoyuan got into the car: "Start!"

"Bang bang bang."

At this moment, a person not far away suddenly rushed up and fired three shots at the car.

Then, the man fled in a panic.

Nearby, there was a car waiting for him. The killer got into the car and disappeared in a flash.

"Don't move!"

Li Zhifeng got out of the car again and stopped those military agents who wanted to swarm him: "Strictly abide by the laws of the concession! Hand it over to the Ministry of Industry and Bureau, the general manager is fine!"

This incident is called "Jiaxu Shooting Incident"!
Meng Shaoyuan, the majestic head of the Shanghai District of the Military Control Bureau, was assassinated. Fortunately, all three shots hit the car, and Meng Shaoyuan was safe and sound.

……

Kai Ziwei was shocked.

He had just had a pleasant conversation with Meng Shaoyuan when he took office, but Meng Shaoyuan was shot outside the building of the Ministry of Industry.

Kai Ziwei was a little scared.

just in case……

The consequences are disastrous, and this will lead to the craziest revenge from the military command!
"Meng Shaoyuan abided by the laws of the concession. All of his people are outside the restricted area of ​​the Ministry of Industry Bureau building, and he only brought two bodyguards with him, so this gave the killer an opportunity!"

Sinclair quickly made a report: "According to our on-site investigation, the murderer was very well prepared. When retreating, the car was waiting in advance. One of our patrolmen saw the license plate, which was 7282!"

Kai Ziwei frowned: "What does that mean?"

"This is registered under the name of a pharmacy, and we can confirm that this pharmacy belongs to No. 76!"

"Crazy, this is simply too crazy." Kai Ziwei's face was livid: "I just took office, and such a despicable assassination happened. Is this to make the public concession go to war?"

"It should be to show off." Sinclair said calmly: "I still say that, no one from the military commander entered the restricted area. Even after the shooting, Meng Shaoyuan's bodyguards did not allow them to come forward with weapons."

"Check it out, give me a thorough check!" Kai Ziwei said decisively: "Start from that car and that pharmacy! Mr. Police Commissioner, you will be responsible for it yourself!"

"Yes!"

……

"Who fired the shot?"

"The 'big seed' of the guards is Ma Cheng."

"He, this kid won a lot of money from me playing cards last time, right?" Meng Shaoyuan sneered.

In that card game, he, Meng Shaoyuan, tried his best to cheat, but he couldn't stop Ma Cheng from being a cheat.

"Yep."

Li Zhifeng immediately flattered: "This kid actually dared to win money from the officer, no, he dared to damage the officer's car and make him lose money."

"I said Li Zhifeng, you are improving more and more." Meng Shaoyuan smiled brightly.

"That's what the commander taught me."

Lu Chengtian, who was driving, sighed in his heart.

Look at this officer, how has he forced a good man into what he looks like?

Lu Chengtian sneered:
"Sir wise!"
