Lost and Spy

Chapter 760 Inspector Gong
"Director Meng, I checked and the surrounding area is safe."

Meng Shaoyuan did not speak.

Old pickles.

Most of the people who live here are the lowest class in the Shanghai International Settlement.

Poverty and backwardness can be seen at any time.

In the alley, there were two prostitutes in scantily clad clothes with thick powder smeared on their faces, soliciting business there.

Their asking price is very cheap, and they are specially targeted at those single men who live alone in Shanghai and do work such as coolies.

No one looked down on their identities, everyone just wanted to make a living and survive.

No. 307 is in the alley.

This is a small two-story building, the upper and lower floors are rented out, and there are three families living in it.

The first floor is larger and accommodates two families.

The second floor is actually a small pavilion.

Few Japanese spies will notice here.

There is no information to be obtained.

And there is a strange smell when you come in, which makes you very uncomfortable.

In the pavilion on the second floor, there is another staircase at the back door of this room, which allows people living on the second floor to enter and exit without affecting the people on the first floor.

The stairs are made of wood and are very narrow.

When Meng Shaoyuan climbed up, he was really worried.

Knocked on the door.

Someone got up, walked to the door, and instead of asking "who" inside, they asked:
"Which boss?"

"Is there any old furniture here?"

"Yes, it's probably new, what price do you offer?"

"It's hard to say, I have to see it with my own eyes."

door, opened.

A strong smell of alcohol came out.

The person who opened the door seemed to have drunk a lot, and his face was flushed from drinking.

Meng Shaoyuan only took one look, and he was basically sure that this person was Mr. Gong.

"Come in." Mr. Gong turned around silently.

Meng Shaoyuan closed the door smoothly.

The light in the room was very dim, and it made people feel particularly uncomfortable in broad daylight.

There is no way, the conditions of the pavilions in Shanghai are all like this.

A bed, a table, and a chair.

This is all the furniture in it.

Mr. Gong sat on the bed and pointed to the only chair at home: "Please sit down."

Meng Shaoyuan sat down and started the second round of secret signals.

There is no deviation.

The food to go with the wine is a pack of pig ears, a pack of peanuts, and the drink is cheap bulk wine.

Mr. Gong didn't seem to have any plans to invite Meng Shaoyuan to drink together: "Are you?"

"Meng Shaoyuan, director of the Military Command Shanghai Special Office."

"Oh, you are Meng Shaoyuan." Mr. Gong said flatly: "Since you have found this place, you know who I am. I am Mr. Gong. From now until I leave Shanghai, I will be Mr. Gong."

"Yes."

Who could have imagined that the inspector with great power actually lived in such a small and dilapidated place, drinking alone here alone.

"You came just in time."

Mr. Gong took a sip of his wine: "Stay here for another hour. If no one comes, I will evacuate. The next time you want to find me, you will be at the new contact point the day after tomorrow."

"Mr. Gong." Meng Shaoyuan asked, "What day is the first day of June?"

This is a secret that only Mr. Gong and Dai Li know.

Mr. Gong was silent for a while: "Dai Yunong asked you to ask this question, right? My correct answer should be, the sixth day of August, which is my birthday on file. The first day of June? Today is June 28th, the first day of June in the lunar calendar , Why do you say I am drinking alone? Because today is my birthday, and I am celebrating my own birthday. "

"Mr. Gong, happy birthday." Meng Shaoyuan said.

"It's nothing happy." Mr. Gong sighed deeply: "Every birthday, I will drink a few glasses. I don't drink well, but I always have to drink, because I don't know when I will be on my next birthday. will live."

Meng Shaoyuan could fully understand his feelings.

In this line of work, which one is not doing things with his head up?Who doesn't know if he will be alive tomorrow?

Meng Shaoyuan cheered up: "Mr. Gong, we just got the information that the news of your coming to Shanghai has been leaked, and the Japanese sent killers to kill you in Shanghai."

"Get rid of me in Shanghai?" Mr. Gong sneered: "This is Chinese land, and they actually want to kill me on my own land? In Shanghai, you're guarded by Meng Shaoyuan, the 'strongest agent on the surface'. I'm not worried. "

These few words made Meng Shaoyuan excited: "Mr. Gong, don't worry, I will do my best to protect you and prevent the Japanese from succeeding."

"Thank you." Mr. Gong finished his glass of wine and poured himself another: "Who is responsible for chasing and killing me?"

"Kuta Tahara."

"Old 'friend'." Mr. Gong sneered: "When this person was in Hong Kong and Macau, he was known as Japan's strongest killer, but he did succeed in several assassinations, but he is called the strongest killer. Yes. He has always wanted to solve me, but he has never succeeded, what qualifications does he have to be called the strongest?"

There was obvious contempt in the words.

"Yes." Meng Shaoyuan said, "But your status is special. Mr. Dai has repeatedly told you that you must protect your safety. Mr. Gong, let me arrange a better accommodation for you."

"No need." Mr. Gong refused: "I am the inspector personally appointed by Dai Yunong. In Shanghai, you are not the only one, Meng Shaoyuan, Zhou Weilong and Cheng Yiming. If I accept your arrangement, it means I have accepted your bribe. , In this way, how can I exercise the responsibility of the inspector fairly and justly? Do you think so, Director Meng?"

Meng Shaoyuan was in awe.

There are not many people who can be so clean.

"There are funds allocated to me from above. The place I came here today is also the property of the military command." Mr. Gong looked at the pavilion: "Some properties of the military command, even you, Director Meng, don't know. I have a place to live and a Money for food is enough. Besides, I also want to take this opportunity to get rid of Tahara Kota in Shanghai!"

Meng Shaoyuan immediately paid attention: "Mr. Gong, I only have a photo of Tahara Kota in my hand, and I don't have any clues about the others."

"Tahara Yuta and I have fought against each other for so many years, and we are very familiar with each other." Mr. Gong said with confidence: "Killing Tahara Kota can deal a heavy blow to the Japanese spy organization and avenge the comrades who died at his hands in the past. No matter from From any point of view, it is beneficial to us. But to accomplish this, you alone are not enough.”

Meng Shaoyuan understood the meaning of Mr. Gong's words in an instant.

With Mr. Gong's cooperation, with Meng Shaoyuan's strength in Shanghai, he is sure to kill Tahara Kota, but doing so means that Mr. Gong has made another contribution to Meng Shaoyuan.

This is unfair to Zhou Weilong and Cheng Yiming.

Mr. Gong even refused to accept the request to change to a comfortable environment, let alone any favoritism in the matter of making meritorious service.

Dai Li chose him to come to Shanghai, an important city, after careful consideration.

Meng Shaoyuan admired in his heart: "That's right, Mr. Gong. How about this, tonight, I will welcome you at the International Hotel, and at the same time invite Zhou Weilong, the head of the military-commanded Shanghai latent area, and Cheng Yiming, the secretary. You will arrange the work yourself."

"I can't arrange work for you." Mr. Gong made a special correction: "My responsibility is to inspect the work, correct the problems in time when I find them, and make a unified report of everything I saw in Shanghai, not to interfere with your work. Today In the evening? Yes, it can be regarded as a meeting with everyone, telling them that I, the inspector, is here, not just meeting with you Director Meng alone."

"Then I'll arrange a contact right away." Meng Shaoyuan stood up.

The pavilion is so cramped that your head can almost touch the roof: "At 5 o'clock in the evening, I will send someone to pick you up."

"No need, I'll go by myself." Mr. Gong refused again: "Director Meng, you know, when you came in, I was drinking, why didn't I invite you to drink with me?"

"Mr. Gong please advise."

"It's not because the food and drink are too bad, but between you and me, don't have a separate interest relationship. If you send a car to pick me up, then tell Zhou Weilong and Cheng Yiming that we have met alone, and the relationship between us is not ordinary. .”

Mr. Gong smiled and said, "I can go to the International Hotel by myself."

Meng Shaoyuan didn't know what to say.

"Director Meng, since you are here and we know each other, I would like to send you a few words." Mr. Gong didn't mean to make Meng Shaoyuan sit down again: "Why did we fail in the frontal battlefield? A country as big as that, Why did it become like this? In addition to military and political reasons, there is also a big factor that we like to form cliques.

There are all kinds of Guangxi, Hunan, and Central departments.Even the Central Department is divided into CC Department and Civil Engineering Department.This is simply a joke.A good country, a good government, intrigues all day long, you have to wait until the foreign enemy invades, and then you will know the importance of unity as if you are facing a big enemy. "

This matter is too big, Meng Shaoyuan didn't dare to speak, but just listened to Mr. Gong honestly:
"Speaking of being united and united to fight against the war together, but I still have a grudge and can't be honest with each other. Japan is only so big, but it dares to invade my majestic China. What's wrong with this?"

"Mr. Gong, Shaoyuan dare not say it."

"Yeah, you dare not say it, no one dares to say it." Mr. Gong suddenly sighed softly: "I don't dare to say it either, I just drank some wine and talked nonsense. Director Meng, you made a mistake, you made a mistake But please remember, I don’t care about other people, and there will be no cliques in me, what I have to do is to do my job well.”

This is actually a disguised warning to Meng Shaoyuan, not to use what he used to do on himself.

Young Master Meng, who is always in the dark, has encountered a hard problem now.

However, Meng Shaoyuan still admires this inspector from the bottom of his heart. If everyone can be like him, this country will really have a great situation!
