Chapter 401: Ostrich Psychology
The Japanese quickly retreated.
Including U.S. Vice Consul Peters and Japanese Consulate Military Attache Hirosawa Hatsumitsu, they were not willing to leave here for too long.
Joey was still there complaining and protesting loudly.
"Hey, they're all gone."
Moyes, the president of the Ministry of Works, interrupted him: "Hurry up. ”
Joey smiled.
He and Moyes went to their sedan, opened the door and then the trunk.
Vance and his wife, who had been curled up under the back seat for a long time, got out of the two cars.
Their feet were numb.
However, they ignored this and immediately rushed to the trunk of the car.
Their children, with the help of Joey and Moyes, also crawled out of the trunk.
Blind spot.
This is a blind spot for humanity.
Meng Shaoyuan told Wan Sibai that the attention of the Japanese side would be all on the trucks of Angus Foreign Company, and they would conduct careful inspections.
But you will definitely ignore the sedan.
The so-called blind spots require references, and they are deliberately created.
Something is hidden in this room, and if you want the seeker to find it, you have to deliberately create one or several places where it is likely to be hidden.
Grab the other person's attention first.
And the place where things are really hidden, maybe under the floor he passes by, maybe in some book that he has at his fingertips.
The reference object that Meng Shaoyuan made was a truck for transporting goods, because it was too easy to hide people there.
The blind spots he created were the cars.
Joey's car, Moyes's car.
There is also the car of the American vice consul and the car of the Japanese military attaché.
Especially the car of the Japanese military attaché, Meng Shaoyuan used it to create a blind spot in a blind spot.
Hirosawa Boman would certainly not help hide Vancebai, and his car became a reference.
The Japanese take it for granted that the cars that come are not suspicious.
And the drivers all got out of the car, and Meng Shaoyuan also specially explained that all the windows were rolled down, so that the Japanese could see at a glance that there was no one in the car.
In fact, as long as a person approaches the car and glances inside, you will see that there is a person hidden under the back seat.
But Meng Shao was sure that they wouldn't do that, especially when they were searching for targets on the trucks with all their might.
Just when the Japanese found nothing, suddenly the news came that "Vance White" had been discovered.
Meng Shaoyuan was sure that the Japanese would all evacuate.
Why?
Quite simply, the Japanese got a false piece of information, found nothing, were impetuous, and once they heard the news of "Vance White", they would be psychologically ready to pin their hopes on another piece of information.
There is another point that is even easier to explain.
This manhunt alarmed the two consulates of the United States and Japan, and since the information was wrong, it was very likely to cause an international dispute.
The initiators of this incident will bear full responsibility.
"Ostrich psychology" is vividly expressed at this time.
Kojiro Kawamoto didn't want to take on such a responsibility, and he needed to leave immediately.
Therefore, Meng Shaoyuan set up several sets one after another in front of Kawamoto Kojiro, a psychology expert who returned from studying in the United States, and successfully induced Kawamoto Kojiro and all the Japanese here to leave.
The only thing that may be lost may be the child.
Fortunately, Vancebeth's two children, a nine-year-old and an eight-year-old, are already sensible, and they have been arrested by the Japanese and know how terrible the Japanese are.
This is again a point that can be exploited.
You just have to tell them that you can't say a word while hiding in the car, or you'll be caught by those terrible Japanese.
Children's fear will make them afraid to even move.
Of course, this casts a shadow on their psyche.
If they get out of this shadow, that's something to think about later.
"Quick, hurry to the ship." Captain Ritter summoned several of his crew members to protect the Vance White family and hurriedly boarded the Cape of Good Hope.
When Vance Bai left Shanghai, he didn't even have a chance to say "thank you" to Meng Shaoyuan.
"Your pay." Joey, who watched them get on the boat, took out a check from his pocket and handed it to Moyes: "When Meng said that you would help, I was a little unconvinced. ”
Moyes glanced at the number on the check and smiled bitterly: "I am the president of the Ministry of Industry, but I am in the same boat, hiding from the world under the noses of the Japanese, my God, I really can't imagine that such a thing would happen to me." ”
"Meng is a very interesting person." Joey smiled: "This kind of fun is shown in the fact that he can not only give you a taste of what the excitement is, but also make your wallet full of money after the excitement." Mr. President, although the Chinese army looks like it is going to lose on the battlefield, on the other front, I believe that Meng will not lose.
In addition, I would like to give you a suggestion, once the Japanese occupy Shanghai, the pressure on the public concession will be even greater, how to resist this pressure? You need pieces that can stand up to the Japanese. Meng is this chess piece, he can help you share a lot of pressure, so that the Japanese have to turn to you for help, so that the initiative is in your hands. ”
Moyes shrugged.
Maybe.
But cooperating with Meng Shaoyuan is really a particularly dangerous thing......
……
Meng Shaoyuan put down the binoculars: "It's successful, Wan Sibai and his family have already boarded the ship." ”
On the docks, the horn of the "Cape of Good Hope" let out a long whistle and slowly shored the shore.
The final destination of this American cargo ship will be all the way to Chongqing.
Once there, Vancebeth's family will be truly safe.
"Shi Mintong, he should have been sacrificed."
Meng Shaoyuan said in a low voice.
"Director Meng, I still don't particularly understand." Wu Jingyi asked on the side.
"He's a pawn." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "He looks a bit like Vance Bai, which is why I asked you to help me find this person." I need him to distract the Japanese so that Vance can get out. In a hurry, the Japanese discovered his traces, and they would not hesitate to kill him at all costs to prevent future troubles. They would never allow him to escape again, never.
Shi Mintong will die, and his death, even if it buys us an hour, the real Vance Bai will have an extra hour of evacuation time. ”
Wu Jingyi was silent.
"Shi Mintong is just a small person." Meng Shaoyuan's voice carried a hint of sarcasm: "A little person, who cares about his life and death?" Vance Bai seemed to be much more important than him. A little person, if you die, you will die. ”
Wu Jingyi still didn't speak, but she knew that others didn't care about a little person like Shi Mintong, but Meng Shaoyuan cared.
Even, whenever he knew that an agent had died, Meng Shaoyuan would carefully record their names.
"On the day of victory, someone must know how many people have sacrificed for this country......" This is what Meng Shaoyuan said to Wu Jingyi that day.
……
"Your Excellency Kawamoto, come out."
"Don't move, see Vance White before you do it."
The two sedans stopped in front of them, and then, a person in front of the agent, quickly opened the door, got out of the car with a woman and two children, and hurried to a truck in front.
On the truck, there were several large wooden boxes, into which the woman and the child had gotten in.
Then, the door of the second sedan opened, and a man in a kaftan and top hat got out of the car, protected by two agents.
"That's him!" From the silhouette of the side, Kojiro Kawamoto is sure that he is the target of his assassination:
Vance White!
"Now is it, action!"
More than a dozen Japanese agents who had been lurking for a long time poured out of their hideouts, and their submachine guns and pistols opened fire at the same time.
Countless tongues of fire spewed at each other.
The three people who were caught off guard fell in a pool of blood in an instant.
The truck, not daring to stop and look, stepped on the accelerator and fled frantically.
Before Shi Mintong died, he hadn't forgotten to do one thing, he fell on his stomach, and his whole face was buried in a pool of blood.
It hurts......
This was the last thought that popped into Shi Mintong's mind before he died.
The Japanese agents rushed forward and shot all the bullets in the magazine into the target's body.
Kojiro Kawamoto picked up a leather bag that "Vance White" held in his hand until he died.
When I opened it, there was a thick stack of manuscripts.
This is the book that Vance Bethle is going to publish to expose the operations of the Japanese secret services in China and the ugly crimes they have committed.
Kojiro Kawamoto let out a long sigh of relief: "Retreat!" ”
He finally won once against Meng Shaoyuan.
Of course, there was also a trace of doubt that flashed through his heart.
It's too easy.
This mission was too easy to complete.
Isn't this Meng Shaoyuan's style?
However, for a side that has been suppressed for a long time, once he has achieved a small victory, he will deceive himself and will not consider the irrationality in the short term.
Again, this is an ostrich mentality.
……
"Who dares to touch my daughter!"
The door to the interrogation room was pushed open, and a man in a suit, accompanied by two assistants, walked in with a gloomy face.
"Who?" As soon as the Japanese spy in charge of interrogating Masako asked, he received two resounding slaps in the face.
"Yaga, this is Matsumoto Daisa, this is our ID!" One person handed over his papers.
"What a man." Matsumoto Osa walked to the face of Mako, his face sank, and his hand stretched out: "The key!" ”
After getting the key, he personally carefully helped Makoko untie the handcuffs.
"Daddy!" Once she regained her freedom, Matsuko hugged Matsumoto Daisa and cried bitterly.
"Alright, alright, it's okay." Matsumoto Daisa hugged his daughter: "I know that you have been wronged, and I also know about my grandfather, from now on, I promise that no one will dare to bully you again!" ”
"Dad, you're finally here, I've been waiting for you to pick me up!"
