The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 243 MGM Ballroom

"Zhang Shishi, I know this person. He used to help Lao Du with his accounting. He is the secretary of the Chinese Taxation Committee in the French Concession. He is a relatively trusted person. Lao Du wanted to take him with him when he went to Hong Kong. He was unwilling. Let's talk to everyone. There are too many people and I don’t want to stay away from my hometown, so Lao Du can’t force me..."

"Oh."

"What, does this guy have a problem?" Cheng Hua asked. Regarding the people around Lao Du, Cheng Mo naturally came to ask his sister.

Lao Du is the godbrother of his sister Cheng Hua. Otherwise, how could he and his third concubine be good sisters?

His relationship with Lao Du is actually quite close.

However, when Cheng Mo returned to Shanghai, apart from his third aunt, he didn't see Lao Du once.

He has not met any of the three tycoons in Shanghai, but Ji Yunqing, a subordinate of the three tycoons, has met them twice, and they are still incompatible with each other.

"Maybe, I'm not sure yet." Cheng Mo couldn't tell his sister Cheng Hua anything, he didn't even know it himself.

"If this guy betrays Lao Du, he will be in big trouble." Cheng Hua said.

He only went in for a visit, so he didn't spend any money.

If something happens to these Japanese officers in plain clothes in the concession, the unlucky ones will naturally be the patrol house of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau of the concession.

Not only this ballroom, Paramount was also a joint venture between him and Chinese businessman Gu Liancheng.

The MGM Cabaret, located on Yuqiaqing Road, is one of the cabarets as famous as Paramount and Xian Lesi. The owner is Louis Meyer, the king of Hollywood and a Ukrainian American.

"understood."

Even an acquaintance wouldn't recognize him without his face, but he still had some confidence because he put on makeup to look like a "Westerner".

There were originally many foreigners in the concession. In places like dance halls, in addition to rich and powerful merchants, Westerners naturally like to dance. They also have money and can afford to spend money.

However, tonight, he had to come, but he would not be the deputy detective of the political unit of Lao Zha Fang. Instead, he would put on makeup and a mustache to make himself a little more mature. Used some disguise methods.

"Be careful..."

He was not willing to set foot in this kind of place where people were feasting and feasting unless necessary. Among the dance halls in Shanghai, he probably went to Xian Le Si the most.

He has never been to the Jueru, Vienna, Far East and other song and dance halls, as well as the famous Paramount.

"I'll find a way." Cheng Mo nodded.

Even though it is very dangerous to come to the concession alone, they are happy to do so.

At least if you are not an acquaintance, you will not recognize yourself.

Of course, this is also suspected of being frivolous.

It seems that you are happy to kill him like this. Is this forcing the concession authorities to cooperate with the Japanese to deal with the military commanders lurking in the concession?

It is said that Japanese officers often secretly enter the concession and come here for entertainment and consumption. In fact, they are just looking for fun. The Japanese officers who suddenly become rich through plunder and plunder naturally do not meet the basic needs arranged for them. They want to enjoy more advanced things.

……

Therefore, the concession needs to reach a private tacit understanding with the military commander, and do not target these Japanese officers who enter the concession to have fun.

It is best for the three parties to maintain a balance, check and balance each other, and no one goes too far.

Of course, as an underground latent organization, Juntong is on a weak side, so necessary compromises are inevitable. Otherwise, how can we survive?
The European and American powers are really worried. Do you want the isolated island position anymore? Can you still do the intelligence work?

Therefore, the military generally did not attack the Japanese in the concession. If they left the concession, they would leave it alone. The concession authorities could not control it anyway.

In fact, it is not necessarily very dangerous for ordinary Japanese military officers to enter the concession in plain clothes, but if they are famous high-level Japanese military officials, such as military police commander Miura or secret service chief Shitaka Kusumoto, the risk factor will skyrocket. The benefits brought by killing a traitor are far greater than the revenge of the concession authorities and the Japanese side. As long as it does not go to the point of red-eye killing, killing the traitor is much more cost-effective than killing these Japanese officers.

Traitors are much more destructive.

So, as soon as he entered the door, Cheng Mo glanced around and saw a few short crew members wearing suits. They looked like they were young at first glance. They were blushing and holding the dancers in their arms, and they were chattering excitedly.

It was as if he had never seen a woman in his life.

Also, can the women on that small island compare with those in the Celestial Kingdom?

This is because the master's family is in a state of decline. In the past, your so-called emperor's noble daughter came to pay tribute and was extremely unqualified to serve as a maid to the emperor of China.

According to the standards for selecting maids in the past dynasties, this daughter of the Japanese barbarians would not be able to pass the test in many aspects.

I checked the time, but it wasn't there yet.

The intelligence said that at eight o'clock, Zhang Shishi met with personnel dispatched by the Japanese spy agency at the Michael Ballroom to exchange information.

The information was obtained by the third child, Shen Mo.

This was his past relationship. Zhang Shishi's driver leaked this information to him because they were now neighbors who rented together.

The two were drinking together, and the driver told the story while drunk.

The driver was also unhappy that Zhang Shishi wanted to cooperate with the Japanese and betray his benefactor, so he turned against Shen Mo.

Cheng Mo has never met Zhang Shishi, but Cheng Hua has. Although they are just acquaintances, they still have some impressions.

Cheng Mo found a good seat near the door of the ballroom and sat down. He ordered a glass of brandy and tasted it while staring at the entrance and exit.

Song after song was played on the dance floor, but Cheng Mo never showed any intention of ending. Naturally, many dancers who did not have dance tickets tonight paid attention.

But every time he approached to strike up a conversation, Cheng Mo dismissed him with "Waiting for someone."

In this way, there will no longer be any dancers around Cheng Mo. Everyone knows that this person must have made an appointment with someone when he came to the dance hall.

Suddenly, a pretty figure appeared at the door of the ballroom, wearing a plain long skirt, a black belt, a round lady's hat, and a unique brooch on her chest.

Cheng Mo was stunned.

It's actually a familiar person.

Chiyoko.

What's going on? Could it be that the person who comes to the MGM Ballroom to meet Zhang Shishi tonight is Chiyoko?
Although Chiyoko works at the Japanese Consulate, she is just a confidential employee responsible for stenography. How could she be assigned to do such a task?
But how to explain her sudden appearance here?

Just as Cheng Mo was hesitating, Chiyoko walked towards him. He was confident that his disguise had not been recognized.

Therefore, Chiyoko probably wasn't coming for him at this time. As she walked, Chiyoko stretched out her hand to lower the brim of her hat. She walked to an empty table near Cheng Mo and sat down. She put down her handbag and took out a box of cigarettes from her purse. , took one, lit it, and took a sip.

It was obvious that her movements were a little jerky, not like the kind of woman who smoked for a long time, but in this situation, how many women don't smoke?

Cheng Mo knew that Chiyoko didn't smoke, and her smoking action today should have another purpose.

Cheng Mo frowned slightly and thought about the next countermeasures in his mind. A middle-aged man wearing a top hat and a light gray robe walked in carrying a black briefcase.

Most of the people who come to the dance hall wear Western-style clothes or traditional gowns, and they are basically old-school Chinese.

Zhang Shishi is an old-school person.
