Shadow Spy

Chapter 126: Rescue Wu Shaoshu

Half an hour later, two cars drove to the front of the mansion. Acting Inspector General of the Police Department Berry Weber and several foreign police officers personally delivered an elegant man in his 30s wearing a long gown.

Li Junhao greeted several people in the living room. A minute later, Xiaohu came down from upstairs and told them in their ears: The person has been confirmed! ——This is not unnecessary. If someone is causing trouble and playing with Li Daitao, and Li Junhao picks them up, it will be great fun!

He asked Xiaohu to take Wu Shaoshu upstairs, and he let Weber and others sit on the sofa. Xiaoyu came over and brought a new pot of tea, which he poured for everyone one by one. The foreign patrol officers all thanked him.

Weber knew what Li Junhao wanted to hear. After sitting down, he said: "Mr. Pan Sen, this Mr. Wu was arrested by people from the Special Department. They received an application from the Special Agent Headquarters No. 76 and sent people there..."

"Special Department?" Li Junhao knew that this department of the police force was established as early as 1925. It was similar to the Political Department of the French Concession Patrol Room. Its main task was anti-communism and it was basically controlled by the British.He was very disgusted with him and said coldly: "Then the reason they arrest people is that Mr. Wu is a communist?"

"That's not true," Weber said. "Agent Headquarters No. 76 said that Mr. Wu is from the Kuomintang in Chongqing and came to Shanghai to carry out anti-Japanese activities."

Li Junhao said unhappily: "In other words, the police department is still cooperating with Japan?"

"Yes, sir." Weber said, "At the end of last year, the police station reached an agreement with the Japanese occupation forces in Shanghai to combat anti-Japanese forces. It stipulates that if anti-Japanese people are found within the concession, they will be arrested by the patrol house. , moved to Japanese-occupied areas..."

Li Junhao nodded, indicating that he understood, and then said: "How many people are there in the patrol room and prison waiting to be transferred now?"

Weber really didn't know this. He turned to look at a few people on the side. A foreign patrolman immediately stood up and introduced himself: "Hello, Mr. Panson, there are currently 12 people waiting in the prison and detention center. The transfer procedures are being processed and will basically be transferred next week."

"Oh? Mr. Fast, are you responsible for the transfer?" Li Junhao asked. He remembered that this person was an assistant chief of the police, named Ovie Fast.
"Mr. Panson, the transfer is the responsibility of the Special Department, but the prison and detention center are under the jurisdiction of the Legal Department. I am in charge of the Legal Department." Fast was a little excited, and the other party actually remembered his name!
"Fast, if I ask you to detain these twelve people without transferring them, can you do it?" Li Junhao asked.

"I can do it!" Fast said immediately. He knew this was an opportunity and must seize it.

"Very good!" Li Junhao nodded, "Weber, you have to support Fast more and don't let him bear the pressure. It won't take too long. Next week I will suggest that the Consulate General reorganize the police department. And rectification..." There is no need to say more, it just depends on whether these few people in front of me can seize the opportunity!

After everyone in the police station left, Li Junhao asked Xiaohu to go upstairs and call Wen Qiang and the others down.

When we met again, Wu Shaoshu immediately bowed and saluted: "Mr. Pan Sen, thank you for your life-saving grace!" "Mr. Wu, you are welcome, I am also entrusted by Mr. Wen Qiang." Li Junhao accepted the salute and said.

"I understand, but I still want to thank you." Wu Shaoshu still said.

Later, after the three of them sat down and drank a cup of tea, Wu Shaoshu said goodbye and left in Wen Qiang's car.

Wu and Wen both understood that the military command was at odds with the CC faction. Wen Qiang asked Mr. Pan Sen to save the people because he had orders from above. Rescuing the people would not really improve the relationship between the two parties, and it was not appropriate to have too much contact. So it's better to leave early and get back on track.

Wen Qiang's car took Wu Shaoshu to the Du family's old house at No. 66 Huageni Road in the French Concession. Wan Molin (Du Yuesheng's cousin and housekeeper) who had been waiting here picked him up and settled him in, and left the rest. It’s Wen Qiang’s business!
After the August [-]th Battle, Du Yuesheng, the most powerful tycoon in the Shanghai Youth Gang, fled to Hong Kong, but Wan Molin stayed behind, ostensibly responsible for taking care of and managing the Du family's assets in Shanghai, and he also served as director of the Shanghai Rice Industry Association. The chairman of the board of directors secretly serves as the general communications officer of the Shanghai-Haihai Unification Committee, a multi-department joint organization established by the Chongqing government. He is responsible for liaising and communicating with the Chongqing side, and protecting and taking care of senior officials sent to Shanghai by the Chongqing government.

Speaking of which, Wan Molin also made a lot of contributions to the cause of the Anti-Japanese War, but his greedy nature has always been there. When he was the chairman of the Rice Industry Association, he hoarded money, manipulated the price of rice in Shanghai, made a fortune, and harmed countless people. The crime is extremely serious, and he is a two-faced character with both merits and demerits.

After sending away Wen Qiang and Wu Shaoshu, Li Junhao began to seriously think about the problem of the police department. It seemed that it was no longer feasible to continue to let the British control this powerful department in the concession. He decided to solve this problem specifically after the material handover was completed.

In addition, in three months, the European War will begin, and the situation in the concessions will undergo great changes. First, the Japanese invaders will become more arrogant. Since Britain and France are at war with Germany, they are actually in a state of hostility with Germany's ally Japan. But the funny thing is that until the Pearl Harbor incident in December 1941, the United States, Britain, France and Japan had never officially declared war. This is a very interesting thing.

Therefore, the public concession and the French Concession were relatively safe before December 1941. What Li Junhao wanted was to maintain a safe environment in the concession as much as possible during these two years, resist the erosion of the concession by the Japanese invaders, and protect the concession. Anti-Japanese forces.To achieve such a goal, the police power in the concession must be in your own hands!

When Li Junhao was planning to control the police administration in the concession, Wen Qiang, who had sent the people back to his residence, sent a report to Chongqing and reported to Dai Li: The mission of rescuing Wu Shaoshu had been completed.

Dai Li called back: Wen Qiang will be rewarded with a legal currency of 1 yuan.The special bonus of [-] French currency was given to Mr. Pan Sen by Wen Qiang.

On the other side, at No. 76 Jisi Feier Road, Ding Mocun and Li Shiqun looked at each other in shock after receiving the insider report!The two traitors to the Central Unification Committee had betrayed a large number of their former colleagues when they rose up in the Wang Puppet Government. This time they received news that Wu Shaoshu had come to Shanghai secretly. Ding and Li once again cooperated in a rare way and formulated a careful plan.

In order not to offend the concession authorities, No. 76 sent capable personnel into the public concession, proactively cooperated with the Special Department of the Patrol House, captured Wu Shaoshu, and then extradited according to formal procedures.

The first half of the plan went smoothly, but just five hours later, it was said that Wu Shaoshu was taken away and released!
