Chapter 37: The Assassination Mission
Meng Shaoyuan became the number one celebrity by Dai Li's side.
But he also knows very well that although he is trusted by Dai Li, it is still early if he really wants to gain a firm foothold.
A squadron leader with a little real power, if he says he loses it, he has to lose it.
The Japanese, on the other hand, have never given up on rescuing Jiro Matsumoto.
They even set up a rescue team.
However, Meng Shaoyuan was not worried, once a bad situation happened, he knew what to do.
And soon, a new task was issued.
Meng Shaoyuan couldn't forget the iron-blue face when he was recruited into the office by Dai Li:
"Kong Jianshan ran away."
"Who?"
"The deputy stationmaster of the Wuhan station of the Lixing Society." Dai Li's tone was very solemn: "He is a veteran figure of the Lixing Society, and according to his qualifications, he should not still be in a sub-station." It's just that this man has a bad problem, he is greedy for money and lustful, and he almost made us suffer losses several times for this. Therefore, I have not been promoted......"
Last year, Wuhan Station wanted to appoint a new station manager, and it stands to reason that with Kong Jianshan's qualifications, he must be.
It's just that he hooked up with a Japanese woman named Ayako Ito in Wuhan, and as the deputy stationmaster, he didn't care about the identity of the other party at all.
Therefore, the stationmaster was chosen as another choice.
At the same time, the company began to secretly investigate Kong Jianshan and Ayako Ito.
Kong Jianshan smelled the smell of danger, and even did not stop doing it, taking advantage of the stationmaster's meeting in Nanjing, counterfeiting the stationmaster's handwriting and signature, and receiving a large amount of so-called activity funds from the finance department, and then ran to Shanghai with Ito Ayako.
Not only that, but it was later confirmed that the funds that he had embezzled over the years had become a huge amount of money. In the 24th year of the Republic of China alone, he embezzled money in the name of replacing equipment, needing former enemy agents, buying spies, etc., and the funds he embezzled were equivalent to 20,000 pounds. β
Dai Li snorted coldly: "He made full preparations for absconding this time. According to the information we have, he has run to the Shanghai Public Concession, and he is good friends with Ji Yunqing, so Ji Yunqing specially sent a few protΓ©gΓ©s to protect him. And we can be sure that Kong Jianshan is very likely to defect to the Japanese! β
Meng Shaoyuan's brows furrowed.
A deputy stationmaster, and his qualifications are so old, if he takes refuge in the Japanese, it will be very destructive.
"So, get rid of him before he completely surrenders to the Japanese!" Dai Li's tone became stern: "Meng Shaoyuan, I have thought about it twice, you are meticulous and bold and calm, so I decided to send you on this mission." β
Assassination of Kong Jianshan?
Meng Shaoyuan hesitated for a moment: "Director Dai, why don't you let my colleagues in Shanghai solve it?" After all, it's their territory, and the more familiar it is, the easier it will be to get started. β
"This is a good thing that Ji Yunqing did." Dai Li's face was displeased: "He found Sir Charles of the Security Committee of the Ministry of Industry of the Shanghai Public Concession, and Sir Charles arranged for the police commissioner to talk to the person in charge of our Shanghai station, to the effect that bloodshed in the public concession is not allowed." β
Meng Shaoyuan understood.
Once it turns against the Ministry of Industry, then Lixingshe's actions in Shanghai will become difficult.
And when the killers were transferred from other places, at that time, the colleagues in Shanghai had a way to shirk the responsibility.
Dai Li assigned this task to himself, firstly, because the task was urgent, and secondly, because he trusted himself.
When a killer? Kill traitors?
Meng Shaoyuan was duty-bound: "Director Dai, don't worry, I will definitely let Kong Jianshan's blood flow into the concession." By the way, if possible, would you like to bring him back alive? β
He was cautious, worried that what if there were some secrets in Kong Jianshan that he didn't know?
"Die, don't live." Dai Lisa said gloomily: "If it is possible for Ayako Ito, bring it back alive, and from her, she may be able to crack the Japanese secret service in Wuhan." If it's really difficult, solve it together! β
"Yes, Director Dai!"
"Weapons, my colleagues in Shanghai have prepared them for you." Dai Li explained: "You go by train, and when you arrive in Shanghai, someone will naturally come to pick you up." β
Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "Director Dai, then I'll buy the fastest train ticket and set off." β
"Remember, don't tell anyone but the action team, keep it a secret. I told the public that I sent you to participate in the youth association with the Shanghai station. β
"Okay."
β¦β¦
Meng Shaoyuan still brought the old team:
Mu Dekai, Yuan Zhonghe, Xiang Shounong and Zhu Yanni.
It's just that Liu Huanwen was replaced by Tian Qi.
I bought a ticket for a second-class car.
Along the way, Zhu Yanni was very excited.
Youth sororities are not for everyone.
I heard that at such a party, there are American bands and imported sodas, and you can find things that you can't usually eat or even see.
Meng Shaoyuan was silent.
When they arrived in Shanghai and announced their mission, they would find that what was waiting for them was not music and dance, but gunfire and blood.
Tian Qi and Meng Shaoyuan were sitting together, and when the train started, he suddenly asked in a very low voice, "What mission are we going to perform?" β
"Who's at the sorority." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly.
Tian Qi was expressionless: "Captain Meng, the Youth Association, Lao Mu's children are all married, and he also participates?" β
Meng Shaoyuan smiled, leaned into Tian Qi's ear and said, "Enter the public concession and kill people." Can you help me think about it, is there any good way to complete the task without knowing it, and still get out of the way? β
"I don't know."
Unexpectedly, Tian Qi actually said: "I am only responsible for carrying out the task, not for using this brain." β
Meng Shaoyuan smiled bitterly.
In another era, I have been to Shanghai twice, once for unit dispatch and once for tourism.
The question is, have you never killed anyone?
Or a public concession?
I've read in books before that there are a lot of dragons and snakes in the Shanghai Public Concession, there are all kinds of people, and the rights of foreigners and patrol houses are very great.
Isn't Huang Jinrong, one of the three tycoons in Shanghai, once sat in the position of Chinese chief inspector?
and Ji Yunqing.
He first killed his apprentice Yang Xinli, and then dealt with his hall master Gao Shenxing in Nanjing.
Perhaps, this time I will have to face him in person.
Headache.
Although I have colleagues in Shanghai to help, when I start the task, I am afraid I will have to rely on myself.
By the way, it's time to practice your marksmanship.
Meng Shaoyuan was an expert in micro-expressions, but he had never fired a gun in his time.
When I was free before, I also practiced quietly, and I was afraid of being discovered.
Otherwise, when others see a Whampoa student, they can't even use a gun, and they will be suspicious.
This marksmanship is not something that can be practiced in a day or two.
Do you want to worship Tian Qi as a teacher?
Forget it.
It's just a matter of practicing slowly on your own.
In another year, the chances of using a gun will probably increase greatly!
