Meng Shaoyuan has always been a very calm person.

No matter what happened, he always told himself that he had to be calm.

Even if he goes to Shanghai to avenge Mudkai this time, he must have the most perfect plan.

You must not bring any trouble to yourself or to the second place.

The three newcomers brought with him stayed in Nanjing.

They were handed over to a person named Fang Chunqian from the Second Squadron to familiarize themselves with the environment of the Second Division, and by the way, teach them some basic knowledge of spies.

After all, if they don't come here, they'll already be cops.

Tian Qi had already gone to Shanghai ahead of schedule.

Zhu Yanni, Yuan Zhonghe, Xiang Shounong, plus a new former factory mechanic, now intern agent Zhao Changle.

In order to deal with the gold robbers, the two cars stolen from Shanghai, like the weapons seized, have not been able to get rid of them for fear of exposure.

This time it came in handy.

Along the way, the people in both cars were silent.

Meng Shaoyuan was also preoccupied.

How long has it been?

Liu Huanwen is dead, and Mu Dekai is dead.

In a few years, if you don't die, how many familiar faces will be left in the team?

More brutal battles are yet to come.

"Captain...... No, team leader, what's in the two big bags you carry? Zhu Yanni was the first to break the silence in the car.

"I asked Krett to prepare it for me."

Meng Shaoyuan looked at the car and stared ahead.

With just one sentence, the atmosphere in the car fell silent again.

Lao Mu's death still brought some damage to this team.

Nanjing is not far from Shanghai.

The two cars soon drove into Shanghai.

At the end of November, there was already a bit of a chill in Shanghai.

In addition to the significant drop in temperature compared to the last time, Shanghai is still the world of flowers.

People who beg for a living are still struggling to fill their stomachs for their families.

Those celebrities in the upper class are still drunk and obsessed with money every day.

This time, there was no way to get the help of those colleagues in Shanghai.

Even his classmate Chen Rongyang did not inform him.

The fewer people who know about it, the better.

Tian Qi, who had come to Shanghai in advance to prepare, picked them up and arranged the group in an inconspicuous hotel.

The name is very loud:

"Universal Hotel Shanghai."

In fact, it is a three-story building.

There is no restaurant, no foreign elevator, and the room is very small to save space.

There is only one common bathroom on each floor.

You have to go to the "tiger stove" on the edge of the first floor to get hot water.

The tiger stove was no longer visible after Meng Shaoyuan was born.

However, until the seventies and eighties, it was still popular in Shanghai, Jiangsu and other places.

The so-called "tiger stove" is dedicated to providing hot water to nearby residents.

It built a big stove in the house, installed three or four boiling pots, and there was a feeding hole in the middle, and the water boss used a long-handled water spoon and a funnel to put it on the mouth of the thermos to pour boiling water.

Where did the name come from?

Shanghainese people say that because the sailor who helped the tiger stove dive into the water is as fierce as a tiger, people in Jiangsu say that it is because it looks like a tiger, and some people say that it comes from the English of pidgin.

How, it is not known.

But even in the big city of Shanghai, the tiger stove can be seen every few alleys, which has become a special landscape.

Although the conditions are a little worse, Meng Shaoyuan and his party did not come for enjoyment.

After settling down, Meng Shaoyuan asked Zhu Yanni and them to rest in the hotel, and walked out with Tian Qi.

"The situation is complicated, I originally wanted to catch a protégé of Yin Kesheng, but I was worried about being exposed, so I gave up the idea." Outside the hotel, Tian Qi looked around:

"According to your instructions, I went to the Zhengjin Bank to take a look, in the bank, there are two guards, and there are two secret guards, and there are four or five Japanese ronins every day, almost all day long, and they should also be used to protect the bank.

The guards carried short wooden sticks, and the guards could not be seen if they were armed. Several ronins, all carrying katanas, and whether Shigeji Ishishima is in the bank or not, the situation is unknown, after all, we don't even have a picture of him. ”

This mission was very different from the previous ones, without the help of colleagues, and there was not a single photo of the murderer.

Zhengjin Bank was opened on Towne Road in the Shanghai Public Concession.

This is a gathering area for overseas Japanese.

It's just a Japanese diaspora area.

There has never been any such thing as a "Japanese concession," and Japan has no concession in Shanghai.

In the real concession of Japan, there are only five places in China:

Tianjin, Hankou, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Chongqing.

In fact, the Chongqing Wangjiatuori Concession was taken back by Liu Xiang's military police in 1931.

The so-called "Japanese Concession" in Shanghai is just a popular term for the Japanese gathering and occupation areas in Hongkou and other places.

After the Anglo-American Public Concession was renamed the "Shanghai International Public Concession," Japan's demand for participation in the management of the concession became even louder.

After 1915, seats were reserved for Japanese directors on the board of directors of the Ministry of Industry. In 1916, the patrol office of the Ministry of Industry of the Shanghai Public Concession set up a special Japanese arrest unit, and 30 Japanese patrolmen took over all the public security affairs in the Japanese overseas Chinese gathering area.

That's pretty much it.

"Team leader, we don't have connections in Shanghai, and once the information is inaccurate, it will cause great trouble to the next operation." After Tian Qi introduced the situation, he said:

"So, as you instructed, I went to Madame Rose, and took it upon myself to tell her all the purpose of our visit to Shanghai."

Anyway, since she wants Cai Xuefei to help, she will know the purpose of her trip sooner or later.

Meng Shaoyuan was not worried that Cai Xuefei would leak it, everyone had secrets in each other's hands: "What did Madame Rose say?" ”

"She promised to help, but please make sure to visit her when you get to Shanghai." Tian Qi smiled bitterly: "This woman is not simple. ”

"Why do you say that?"

"I proposed to buy a batch of weapons in Shanghai, but she said that if we want to do something big in Shanghai, after the matter is completed, we will definitely trace the source of the weapons and find out to us, and there are only a few international arms smugglers in Shanghai. So she promised to help us and procure weapons from Wuhan. ”

This woman is very thoughtful.

Meng Shaoyuan had also considered this concern before, but now Madame Rose has helped solve it.

"I see." Meng Shaoyuan looked at the time: "You call Madame Rose and say that if she is free, I will visit him in his house when she is an hour." ”

"Okay, I'll go now."

Meng Shaoyuan saw that there was a pastry shop on the side, and when Tian Qi was looking for a phone, he entered the pastry shop and asked the shopkeeper to help him choose a few exquisite pastries, saying that they were for distinguished guests.

After paying the money and carrying the pastries out, Tian Qi also came back after calling: "It's done, Madame Rose is waiting for you at her house." ”

"It's been hard in the past few days, and I've discussed it carefully with Lao Yuan, and this time I must make sure that nothing goes wrong." Meng Shaoyuan nodded and stretched out his hand:

"Rickshaw!"
