Jing'an Temple is the liveliest place in Shanghai's Public Concession.

Even after the fall of Shanghai, the flow of people here continued.

The department store sells the latest American suits and British leather shoes.

The cigarette stand is lined with the most popular Egyptian cigarettes of the past two years.

Fruit sellers boast that their fruit is from France.

In the movie theater, on a large poster, the faces of a man and a woman are tightly pressed together.

The ad reads:

"The new masterpiece of the United States, 'Let Me Happen', handsome men and beautiful women, poignant love."

Everything is foreign.

A few students looked to the side, and suddenly unbuttoned their coats, revealing their white shirts underneath.

On the shirt are four bright red letters:

The War of Resistance will be won!

They jumped to the heights, spoke loudly, shouted loudly, and the whole of China united to bring down Japanese imperialism!

The sharp whistle of the patrol was soon sounded.

"Patriotism is not guilty!" The students called.

"French pear, sweet French pear!"

"Down with Japanese imperialism!"

"Shoe shine, shoe shine, the boss wants to shine shoes?"

All sorts of weird sounds mingle together.

Strange Shanghai!

Meng Shaoyuan walked into Huayang Film Company.

Previously, this was a film company opened by Miao Chengfang.

Later, with the "disappearance" of Miao Chengfang, the film company that had only been established for a short time also closed its doors.

This was one of several secret locations where he and Meng Shaoyuan had agreed to meet before Miao Chengfang was ordered to lurk.

Once the agreed advertisement appeared in the newspaper, it was a signal that Meng Shaoyuan asked to meet Miao Chengfang immediately.

He walked into the previous chairman's office.

Miao Chengfang has arrived.

In the corner, a cabinet was removed, revealing a safe hidden behind it.

The safe was opened, containing three gold bars and some banknotes.

"If anyone finds out, I'll go back to Huayang Company to get the money."

Miao Chengfang said lightly.

Meng Shaoyuan was not surprised at all by his methods.

What made him curious was Miao Chengfang's dress today.

Wearing a mask that only doctors use, covering most of his face.

He also wore the "navigator" of green lenses produced by Bausch & Lomb in the United States:

Sunglasses!

As soon as this "Navigator" came out and was mass-produced, it was immediately wildly loved by the American Air Force, almost every person had a pair, and quickly became one of the two standard accessories of the American Air Force together with the jacket.

Not only that, Miao Chengfang was also wearing a particularly large and obviously ill-fitting dress.

"Lao Miao, what are you doing here?"

Meng Shaoyuan couldn't help but ask, "What kind of dress are you?" You don't have to do it like this to prevent the Japanese? ”

"I might as well be Japanese."

"Then why are you dressed like that?"

"I'll guard against you."

"What are you trying to prevent me from doing?" Meng Shaoyuan felt inexplicable.

Miao Chengfang smiled: "Since the first time I met you, I have a feeling that you can read the thoughts in his heart from other people's faces, and I also said that the next time I see you, I will take a blank paper to cover my face." I thought, if you really have this ability, then can you also see something in my movements? So, I had to cover my whole body. ”

Sure enough, he even put his hands in his sleeves.

Meng Shaoyuan couldn't cry or laugh.

That's right, that's right, I really know what I call "mind reading", to put it bluntly, it's a micro-expression in psychology.

Many people in this era think that they have a special magical ability.

Of course, Miao Chengfang doesn't understand micro-expressions.

But he was the best at it.

"Lao Miao, you're too much."

Meng Shaoyuan brought a stool and sat opposite him.

"Wait."

Miao Chengfang said suddenly.

Then he lifted the mask, stuffed two candies in his mouth, and then put down the mask again: "I don't have the same great ability as you, but it was passed down from my ancestors, with the speed of a person's voice, whether the stuttering is because of nervousness, I can judge to a certain extent whether he is lying or not, so I have to guard against this." ”

Meng Shao was convinced.

That's right, when facing a suspect, once the other party is eating in his mouth, then there will definitely be a big deviation in judgment.

Miao Chengfang didn't live in the era he once lived in, otherwise he would be a psychology expert.

"Now it's fine." Miao Chengfang said: "What's the matter with you looking for me in such a hurry?" ”

"You are better at defending against me than against the Japanese." Meng Shaoyuan muttered: "Old Miao, you must know about the assassination of Jichuan Wumen?" ”

"That's right, the Japanese are making a big fuss, and Inoue Hisaaki is also under house arrest."

"Do you know who did it?"

"You, everyone knows you did it."

"Lao Miao, you're lying."

"Am I lying? Why do you say that? ”

Miao Chengfang is smart, powerful, and even cunning, but after all, he doesn't know what psychology is, and he doesn't know what kind of amazing point the research of psychology will reach in the future.

"Lao Miao, didn't you say that I was very capable? I'm not going to hide it, I'll tell you how I found out, and it's good for your future lurking. ”

Meng Shaoyuan said unhurriedly: "You stuffed two candies in your mouth, and you were wearing a mask, so you were a little slurred when you spoke, but people still have a tone." 'You, everybody knows you did it'. The first word 'you', your voice is low, and the word 'ah' is relatively loud, which may be uncertain, or you know that I don't have the ability to do this.

The second word 'you', between the word 'do', not only has a particularly short pause, but also your nose is out of a heavy breath, and the mask covers it, so that I can hear it more clearly. If I can't be sure, then I'm sure you're making fun of me, because you know I didn't do it at all. ”

Behind the sunglasses, Meng Shaoyuan couldn't see Miao Chengfang's eyes, but he could be sure that the other party was staring at him.

After a while, Miao Cheng said: "In the past, Jianghu warlocks, especially fortune tellers, will use your set, and can know what fortune the other party wants to count from other people's facial expressions and words, but your level should be higher, is it in a foreign country, there is a special discipline, pay attention to how to see the other party and listen to each other, and know whether the other party is telling the truth or a lie?" ”

"That's right, it's called psychology. Xu Enzeng, the section chief of our Central Investigation Department, also studied a little psychology. But he didn't have a deep grasp of it. Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "I'm different, I've worked this!" ”

"No wonder, no wonder."

Miao Chengfang muttered: "This is terrifying, especially in the interrogation work, it is easy to gain the upper hand invisibly. If I have the chance, I have to learn from you. ”

"That's for later."

Meng Shaoyuan returned to the topic: "Lao Miao, does the assassination case of Yoshikawa Wumen have anything to do with you?" ”

"And me? I said Director Meng, you also think too highly of me, I have been monitored by the Japanese, and there is no way to leave the public concession, how can I have such a great ability to assassinate Yoshikawa Gomon? ”

"You're lying again." Meng Shaoyuan sighed softly: "I can't imagine that you have a lot of ability, even if you didn't do it, you must know a lot of things, we have a comrade lurking in the Japanese, and the class is very high, isn't it?" But who is this man? Almost no one knows. ”

"You mean I got it?"

"You know, you know." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "I call this comrade 'Mr. Mystery', I'm sure you and Mr. Mystery know each other." Before you and Tian Qi were ordered to sneak in, I told you the contact points and contact information of most of the Tianzi-level intelligence officers, and Mr. Mystery also knew the location of the No. 8 intelligence officer, even including the contact code, so one of the two of you has a problem, Tian Qi, or you.

It's not Tian Qi, he doesn't have that much ability, and as long as he knows the truth, he will definitely report it to me, then it's only you. You've made contact with Mr. Mystery, and you've trusted him so much that you've informed these top-secret points of contact, just in case. Mr. Mystery wouldn't use it easily, but the situation was urgent.

It was because of this Eighth Agent that I was able to connect Mr. Mystery with you. ”

"What else?" Miao Chengfang stopped chewing in his mouth: "Say everything you guessed." ”

"And many more." Meng Shaoyuan said unhurriedly: "Do you remember what you told me before, the story of Nagasaka Hiromichi and those ten spies? ”

That day, Miao Chengfang told Meng Shaoyuan like this: "Of these ten people, except for the person who participated in the training class at that time, only President Yuan Da has a complete list. We only know that the Russo-Japanese war in Shenyang, the blowing up of the Liaohe Bridge, and the instigation of the East Asian Volunteer Army, these ten people were all active in it.

Later, President Yuan recalled these ten people and set up his own spy training class, but only six of them actually came back, and there were still four, and they did not know where to go. Director Meng, you say, why did you say that all ten people came back at that time? You also took the trouble to introduce these ten people in the spy training class? ”

There are also four people on a stealth mission!

And it's a long-term latent mission.

"One is Hiromichi Nagasaka." Meng Shaoyuan's tone was very calm: "I can't believe the success of this person, he married the sister of the Hokkaido Yaksha Fujiwara Guichuan, became the Japanese Osa and was in charge of intelligence work against Soviet Russia. The spy can do this, I am convinced, I am convinced in my heart.

So it suddenly occurred to me, is it possible that this mysterious gentleman is also one of the four sleeper agents, and is now in Shanghai? After so many years, since he has not revealed his identity, it means that he is very successful in lurking, and his status will not be low, and he wants to assassinate Yoshikawa Gomon, and he has such conditions. ”

Miao Chengfang shook his head: "But I don't know which four people are lurking at all." ”

"However, you, Lao Miao, were one of the first thirty non-commissioned officers selected by President Yuan Da that year!"
