On the streets of Ningbo, there is even a bit of tension in the air.

Since the Japanese occupied Shanghai, every Ningbo person actually knows in their hearts that sooner or later the plaster flag will appear in Ningbo.

But no one said that.

Everyone has a fluke mentality in their hearts.

What if?

What if I forget this place one day?

The price of daily necessities such as rice and noodles in Ningbo varies every day.

Even the famous Ningbo soup dumplings, the price is not the same.

Meng Shaoyuan seemed to be in a good mood. Originally, Chu Xiuyan wanted to invite him to dinner, but this little master asked him to do what he explained with peace of mind.

Meng Shaoyuan himself asked Yu Yanchu to take him to Ningbo for a spin and taste the characteristics of Ningbo.

Don't be particularly famous shops, such as the rock sugar soft-shelled turtle in the Zhuangyuan Building, Feng Hengda's fragrant dried rice cakes, and Shengyang Tai's North and South dry goods.

These long-established shops are excluded.

Meng Shaoyuan specified a range.

"There's nothing to eat here, huh?" Yu Yanchu was a little confused: "When I was a child, I would come from Cixi every year to live in Ningbo City for a while, and when I wanted to satisfy my hunger, adults never brought me here. ”

"I'm still going to this place."

Meng Shao's original god is mysterious, and no one can figure out what idea he has in his heart......

……

Yu Yanchu can be regarded as having seen Director Meng's way of eating.

He will pick a random shop and order something to eat at will, and he doesn't ask if it's delicious or not, and whether it is special.

The only thing is that I like to pick a place with a particularly open view.

Sooner or later, he doesn't rush things.

Just keep looking outside.

When the food came up, he only occasionally moved a bite, still looking at the scenery outside.

Then he would suddenly say, "Check out, leave." ”

Then, choose another place and continue the process.

Turning around like this, Yu Yanchu and Gan Ning and Xu Zhu, who accompanied Meng Shaoyuan, were all dizzy, and they didn't know what Director Meng wanted to do.

After sitting in about seven or eight stores, Director Meng suddenly took a bite of the soup ball and waved the soup spoon: "Go, go back." ”

……

"Director Meng, what are you doing?"

When I went back, it was dark, and Yu Yanchu, who was confused, couldn't help but ask.

"Do what?" Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Map!" ”

A map was taken out.

"Look at it."

Meng Shaoyuan drew a circle at every point he had been to today, and then connected this circle with a pen: "Where do we turn today?" ”

Gan Ning and Xu Zhu are both outsiders, and they can't understand it.

Yu Yan Chu blurted out fiercely: "He Donghu's residence? ”

"That's right, it's He Donghu's residence!" Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "I heard that He Donghu is cautious, not only is his home heavily guarded, but also has a secret passage. If we want to do something to him, we have to find out where this secret passage is. ”

Yu Yanchu didn't understand it too much.

Director Meng This is the first time to come to Ningbo, and his life is sparse, can he just sit in a few shops to find a secret passage?

"There is also a key point, Genya Masayasu." Meng Shaoyuan seemed to be confident: "This Japanese head of the Ningbo government will never disappear without the assistance of the locals, and he needs to control the situation in Ningbo and actively plan actions, all of which he can't do without the help of He Donghu." ”

"What do you mean?" Gan Ning seemed to understand a little: "Yuangu Zhengkang has always been nearby, and he can contact He Donghu at any time?" ”

"I'm afraid there's more to it."

Meng Shaoyuan sneered: "I very much suspect that Yuangu Zhengkang has actually been hiding in He Donghu's house!" ”

"Possibly." Gan Ning suddenly realized: "Is there any place that is safer than He Donghu's house?" If he wants to give any order, he Donghu will send someone out to give it directly, and it will be even more difficult to be exposed. Moreover, He Donghu has a secret passage at home, which is more convenient to come and go, and in the event of an emergency, it is also convenient for Yuangu Zhengkang to escape! ”

"That's right." Meng Shaoyuan pointed to the map in front of him: "The so-called secret passage is not a place to dig a place at home that you can leave. You have to have a safe exit. For example, now that we are attacking He Donghu's home, we are surrounded by us in the front and back, so it is impossible for him to arrange an exit in the vicinity.

What if it's farther away? It can be too much to consume and be easily exposed during the excavation process. Therefore, it can only be the area where we go today, and the exit must be kept secret, you can't suddenly come out of the ground in the middle of the day? Or who lifts the lid and goes straight underground? ”

When Xu Zhu and Yu Yanchu heard this, they also roughly began to understand.

"Lao Taixin grocery store, Niuji glutinous rice ball shop!"

Meng Shaoyuan wrote these two names on the map: "I kept going to this neighborhood until I finally found my target. The old Taixin grocery store is not big, but there is a shopkeeper and a guy inside. For such a small shop, hiring an extra guy would be an extra expense. Especially the boss and the guy, who behaved very abnormally.

When a guest comes, he is absent-minded, and the shopkeeper looks at the situation outside from time to time, which can be seen as he is waiting for the guest. But what about the guy? Move a bench and sit outside, where have you seen guys in a store do that? I guess he wasn't waiting for a guest to come to the door, but was letting off steam, using special means to deliver the message.

As for what the means are, I also saw it, outside the store, there is a soy sauce tank, hehe, the lid is open, who saw that the soy sauce is so preserved. That's for security. Once danger is detected, it is natural to close the lid, but it is actually conveying a dangerous message to the accomplices. If the grocery store is sentry, what about the real point?

The best location is the Niu Kee Dumpling Shop, the door is closed, but there are shadows in the window that keep flashing, there must be people inside, what are they doing? I'm watching the movement of the grocery store! Looking at the location of the two stores, the distance of thirty meters from He Zhai, if everything is according to my judgment, Niu Ji Tangyuan Shop is the real entrance and exit of the secret passage! ”

In other words, this is also the main road of life of Gengu Zhengya!

Yu Yanchu asked, "Director Meng, if you just turn around like this, you will be able to know where the entrance and exit of the secret passage of the He Mansion are?" ”

"The answer to any mystery has long been announced." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "The key question is, where is this answer hidden, can you find this answer?" Many of the key elements of puzzle solving are waiting for us to discover! ”

Xu Zhu immediately said: "Then let's go and remove these two points overnight?" ”

"I think Director Meng means that there is no need to be so early." Gan Ning then said: "If we really want to pull it out, I'm afraid we have already done it now......"

Speaking of this, he glanced at Meng Shaoyuan, and found that Director Meng nodded at him encouragingly, and then continued: "Rash attack, I'm afraid it will startle the snake, maybe there is another way to escape in He Donghu." But once we make a little noise in the He house, Genya Masayasu, who is hiding there, must have the first reaction to use the secret passage to escape. ”

Meng Shaoyuan found that Gan Ning had really made great progress during the time he had been following him.

And Xu Zhu is almost bad in this regard, what he is best at is how to make the prisoner speak.

"We're severely understaffed here." Meng Shaoyuan groaned and said: "Lai Songsheng's eight people are absolutely reliable, the strength that can be relied on, the most reliable is Chu Xiuyan's Yongshang Anti-Japanese Death Squad, if Wu Guozhu's tax police are willing to help, it would be great, but there is still a force to use, I have already sent someone to invite him......"

While he was talking there, a subordinate hurriedly walked in: "Director Meng, Wu Chengzhang, the head of the Ningbo Station of the Military Command, is here." ”

"Please!"

After a while, Wu Chengzhang walked in:

"Which one is Director Meng from Shanghai?"

"I am."

"Director Meng, I have admired my name for a long time." Wu Chengzhang shook hands with him: "I received an order from Director Dai personally, saying that you are going to Ningbo to carry out a mission, and let me Ningbo Station go all out to assist you, I was thinking about when you will come." ”

"I arrived in Ningbo early in the morning." Meng Shaoyuan didn't hide anything: "This mission is very urgent, and my brother doesn't dare to slack off in the slightest." ”

"Director Meng, please command, what do you need our assistance from Ningbo?"

Before he finished speaking, Meng Shaoyuan had already replied: "Stationmaster Wu, I made a mistake, it was not you who assisted us, but I came to assist Ningbo Station." ”

Wu Chengzhang was stunned.

He has long known that this Meng Shaoyuan from Shanghai is Dai Li's confidant and favorite general, and he must be proud of his ambition as a young man. In addition, this task was personally ordered by Dai Li, but I am afraid that this young director will be even more untouchable.

It's just that I didn't expect Meng Shaoyuan to be so polite when he spoke.

Meng Shaoyuan was pressed for time, and he didn't go around in circles with the other party: "Director Wu, whether it's from Ningbo or Shanghai, you and I have the same purpose." However, this time, the brother is directly subordinate to the third direct command of the chairman's chamberlain! ”

Wu Chengzhang gasped.

Good guys, that's not a small deal.

"Director Wu, brother doesn't want to use the name of the chairman's chamberlain to press you." Meng Shaoyuan said unhurriedly: "You also know that since I have this title, I will never compete with you for credit after the mission is successful, all the credit will be enjoyed by you Stationmaster Wu alone, and the infamy that will occur will be borne by me Meng Shaoyuan alone!" ”

"Director Meng, don't say anything." Of course, Wu Chengzhang knew what was at stake: "What needs to be done from me, just give me orders." ”

He also knew very well that since Meng Shaoyuan had the chairman's chamber to support him, it would be not trivial, and once the task was completed, the chairman's chamber would never make a big noise.

The benefits are naturally exclusive to yourself.

As for what kind of reward the chairman will give to Meng Shaoyuan, it is not something that he can ask about and hope for.

Meng Shao's willingness to give this credit to himself is already a great love!
