October 25, 1938, 10:35 a.m.

Formerly the old Sassoon & Co., now Japan Shojin Bank.

It is a six-storey classicist-style granite building with a floor area of nearly 20,000 square meters, which is claimed to be indestructible, and when the building was completed, the Gonghe & Foreign Company, which was in charge of the design, declared the building indestructible unless the army was dispatched.

The Japanese are also confident in this.

But now give them two hard slaps!

First of all, there was a major robbery case of "mask robbers", which caused heavy losses to Zhengjin Bank.

Then, on October 25, 1938, came the day.

Three earth-shattering explosions shook the entire Shanghai Beach.

According to the records of the Shanghai Tang Public Concession, at 10:35 a.m. on this day, a violent explosion suddenly occurred at Zhengjin Bank.

After the on-site investigation, the explosions occurred in the toilets, VIP rooms and lobby of Zhengjin Bank.

Seventeen dead and eight seriously injured were killed on the spot.

It is for the "Zhengjin Bank tragedy".

Behind the scenes:

Meng Shaoyuan, acting head of the Shanghai Hidden District of the Military Command Bureau!

You can slaughter the Peasant Bank, and I can blow up your Zhengjin Bank!

Originally, according to Wu Jingyi's intention, she rushed into the bank immediately after the explosion to rob it, but this suggestion was vetoed by Meng Shaoyuan.

In the event of an explosion, everyone must not be present at the scene and leave no evidence.

Robbery is not impossible, but there are too many variables after the explosion, one is the panic of the surrounding citizens, and the other is that the patrol will definitely arrive at the scene as soon as possible.

If we can't evacuate in time, or if we leave any evidence at the scene, and someone finds that the spearhead of the explosion is directly pointed at the Military Command Bureau, then the pressure of public opinion will be too great.

Previously, under the instigation of the Japanese, Ji Yunqing sent Wu Sibao to slaughter the Peasant Bank, and Meng Shaoyuan had already used this incident to make a sufficient deal of public opinion.

Now, we can't let any change in public opinion!

Shanghai residents and foreigners around Zhengjin Bank were frightened by the terrible explosion.

They had no idea what was going on, and they were all stunned.

Some people screamed in fright and fled in a hurry.

Some of them were so bold that they even wanted to go up and see what was going on.

The Japanese catcher was the first to arrive.

When they cautiously entered the bank, they were completely stunned by what they saw.

According to their understanding, large explosives were needed to carry out such a violent explosion.

The question is, how did the explosives get in?

Perhaps the only explanation is that there was a gas explosion inside the bank.

Only a gas explosion can cause such a tragic situation.

The exact situation will only be determined after a detailed site survey......

……

"A total of 2,810,000 yen was robbed."

Gan Ning counted it and reported the accurate number.

"Take 100,000 yuan out and reward the meritorious personnel who participated in the operation." Meng Shaoyuan quickly made an order: "This matter is strictly confidential. ”

"Don't worry, all the ones I picked out are tight-mouthed, loyal and reliable."

"Mr. Fletcher and Mrs. Fletcher have arrived."

Just then, a Chinese accent with a comical accent came in.

Then Mr. Eric Fletcher and Mrs. Anita Fletcher walked in.

As soon as he saw them, Meng Shaoyuan smiled.

Krett and Sophia!

Sophia did not leave Shanghai for Chongqing with the "X-Forces".

Her original plan was to leave after taking care of some personal matters in Shanghai.

It's just that she never expected that just when she was about to leave, Meng Shaoyuan found her and gave her a task:

Play as Mrs. Anita Fletcher.

She didn't need to say anything, she just needed to be cold and glamorous throughout the whole process and not say a word.

Meng Shaoyuan was her boss, and she did whatever the boss told her to do.

The ultimate task is nothing more than to plant the bomb in the designated place.

One in the bathroom.

Sophia used the excuse of using the bathroom and put on the "Black Sokin" that had been modified by Crett and had a timer device installed.

One in the hall.

Sophia excused herself from her high heels and put the bomb under the stool while she was resting.

One for the VIP room.

It was placed by Krett when Ji Yunqing turned around to take the ornaments.

For Sophia, it's just a simple task.

The only thing that upsets her is that she needs makeup.

Meng Shaoyuan carefully applied makeup to her appearance, which took more than three hours.

The most difficult thing was to dye Sophia's blonde hair black.

There was no hair dye in this era, which made Meng Shaoyuan hurt his brain.

In the end, although Sophia changed from a blonde beauty to a brunette beauty, because it was too difficult to color, Sophia could only lean back in a chair or lie on the table at night to rest.

And to completely wash off the black and restore the original eye color, there is no seven or eight days that cannot be done.

It's all worth it, though.

And it's exciting.

Sophia knows that her boss is a big shot.

And he is a very bold person.

It's just that I didn't expect that my first time participating in the boss's task was so earth-shattering.

"In the eyes of many Chinese, foreigners look the same." Meng Shaoyuan looked at them: "I also helped you put on makeup, after removing your makeup, you will lurk for a while, don't show your face, I will help you send the daily necessities you need." After a while, when the situation gradually subsides, I will say the following words. ”

Sophia leaves Shanghai, and her plans to join her companions in Chongqing are once again disrupted.

She was a little tired: "I just want to get a good night's sleep now, and if there is nothing wrong, I have to go first." ”

"Wait."

Meng Shaoyuan took out two stacks of money:

"Yours."

The person who does things for him will definitely be paid.

And it's a very good pay.

You can't ask everyone to give to you selflessly.

After taking the money, Meng Shaoyuan asked Xiao Zhong to personally escort them away.

Wu Jingyi answered a phone call: "There is a mess in Zhengjin Bank, not only the Japanese arrest room is all dispatched, but the police commissioner Sinclair also personally brought people to the scene." ”

"From now on, don't talk about anything related to Zhengjin Bank."

Meng Shaoyuan's face suddenly became serious: "The Ministry of Industry Bureau will definitely come to us and give them a hint that we robbed the Japanese money." The Zhengjin Bank bombing has nothing to do with us. ”

They will rob the Japanese of their money, but they will not blow up the banks.

It's as simple as that.

The corners of Meng Shaoyuan's mouth suddenly showed a smile: "Do you know where the most interesting part of the whole thing is?" Now, the Japanese and the traitors must be shirking each other's responsibilities and eating each other's dogs. ”

After all, the banks are all blown up, and it is definitely not a trivial matter.

Responsibility, it must be pursued, and there will definitely be an unlucky scapegoat.

The question is, who could this unlucky ghost be?
