"Section Chief Meng."

"Stationmaster Wang, I have admired the name for a long time, I have admired the name for a long time, I can see it today, the name is well deserved, the demeanor is good, the Confucian general, the absolute Confucian general."

Well?

That's weird.

Before meeting Meng Shaoyuan, I heard a lot of stories about this young section chief, and the impression that Wang Guofan, the head of the Xuzhou Station of the Military Command, was that he was young and successful.

Young and successful people, naturally there is always a little bit of unruliness.

But now you look very modest, huh?

He would never have thought that Meng Shaoyuan was polite to him, it was simply for the sake of his unborn future star granddaughter.

"Director Meng, the situation is very urgent." The two of them exchanged a few words of greeting, and Wang Guofan took out a file and handed it to Meng Shaoyuan: "This is a list of suspects drawn up by us, and after investigation, it has been narrowed down to three people, all three of whom are suspects, but there is no evidence." ”

Meng Shaoyuan resulted in the file: "That's simple, just arrest it first and then interrogate it." ”

"If only it were that simple." Wang Guofan smiled bitterly: "These three people, all of them have great backgrounds, and if you catch any of them wrong, there will be problems." Let's take a look first. ”

Only then did Meng Shaoyuan open the dossier.

"Zhuang Fang Dou...... Secretary-General of Xuzhou Municipal Government......

Shi Huaixi ...... Deputy Commander of the Xuzhou Military Police Command.

Lu Huiqin...... President of the Xuzhou Anti-Japanese War National Salvation League......"

Three people.

Meng Shaoyuan was a little curious: "Look, it's nothing remarkable?" ”

"Nothing remarkable?" Wang Guofan sighed: "My section chief Meng University, let me introduce you." Zhuang Fangdou is a person from the Central Investigation Department, and he has a good relationship with Xu Enzeng, and you also know our relationship with the Central Investigation Department...... Shi Huaixi, that's even bigger, he was personally appointed by Commander Li Zongren, who do you say dare to touch him? ”

"What about this road?"

"Don't look at his idle position, but he is the earliest member of the Alliance, a local celebrity in Xuzhou, and his protégés and disciples are all over the world, and even the last time he came to Xuzhou, he personally met him. The old man has a hot temper, he really dares to hit people. Don't talk about me, you let Mr. Dai try it, Mr. Dai doesn't put it in his eyes, let alone me as a little stationmaster? ”

It's really not small.

According to Wang Guofan's introduction, these three people all know the whereabouts of the commission, and there were more than ten people in the first suspect list before, but after checking them one by one, there are only these three left.

"Done." Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "I want to see these three people immediately, Stationmaster Wang, is there a way to help me arrange it?" ”

"Absolutely."

"The sooner the better!"

……

The first person Meng Shaoyuan saw was Zhuang Fangdou, secretary general of the Xuzhou Municipal Government.

Forty years old, young and promising, well-mannered.

As soon as he saw him, Meng Shaoyuan did not hide his identity at all: "Secretary General Zhuang, don't say secret words in front of the Ming people, I am the military commander Meng Shaoyuan." ”

"Oh?"

Zhuang Fangdou was stunned for a moment: "You are Meng Shaoyuan?" It's so famous, even our Section Chief Xu dares to contradict it. ”

"That's all old things." Meng Shaoyuan said: "There are also personal grievances in it. Secretary-General Zhuang, let's get straight to the point, I am a military commander, you are from the Central Dispatch Section, although we are not in a system, but everyone is doing things for the country, this time the commission came to Xuzhou to inspect, Secretary-General Zhuang wants to come and know? ”

"Yes, of course I do." Zhuang Fangdou said calmly: "Although on the intelligence front against Japan, I am not as able to call for wind and rain as you, but there is nothing in Xuzhou that can hide from me. The last time I came to Xuzhou, I was almost assassinated, and I know it. And I also know that I am the suspect. ”

"Why do you say that?"

"It's easy, I came back from studying in Japan." Zhuang Fangdou smiled: "On the eve of the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, I still have frequent contacts with many Japanese friends, and I still have a radio station in my hand. ”

As soon as he said this, the phone on his desk rang.

"Wait a minute." Zhuang Fangdou took the phone: "It's me, okay, yes, I'll record it immediately......"

After speaking, he took the letter paper and pen, and listened while recording quickly.

hung up the phone and dialed another call: "Xiao Qin, come here." ”

Then, I tore off the top of the letter and wrote something I don't know on the new letterhead.

The office door opened, and a young man with glasses walked in: "Secretary-General." ”

"Xiao Qin, copy this to the Fifth Theater Command immediately."

"Okay."

As soon as Xiao Qin left, Meng Shaoyuan asked, "What is that?" ”

"My secretary, absolutely reliable, I vouch for it with my own head." Zhuang Fangdou replied, picked up the letter paper he had just recorded, and was about to tear it up, when Meng Shaoyuan suddenly said:

"Secretary General Zhuang, can you show me?"

"Absolutely." Zhuang Fangdou didn't worry about anything: "I'm engaged in party affairs investigation, you are in intelligence work, and your vigilance is much stronger than mine." However, only I can understand this thing. ”

Meng Shaoyuan took it and saw that there were some inexplicable symbols and words written on this piece of letterhead:

“∴…… 5…… O…… （……”

What? Meng Shaoyuan didn't understand the meaning at all.

Zhuang Fangdou smiled and took the letter: "This means that 50,000 catties of rice will be delivered to ...... tomorrow night."

Huh?

It's about similar to the shorthand that Meng Shaoyuan knew, right?

I didn't expect Zhuang Fangdou to have such a skill.

"As for me, I started working as a secretary step by step." Zhuang Fangdou tore the letter paper to shreds and threw it into the paper basket: "When my boss has a meeting, I need to record the content of the meeting, what should I do?" Good thing I learned shorthand......"

Ah, is there really shorthand in this era?

"My teacher was Cai Zhang, the earliest stenographer in China, and the third stenographer of the Guangzhou Revolution and Ming government...... After Cai's shorthand was eliminated, I worshipped Wang Yi as a teacher, which can be regarded as a small experience. Unfortunately, shorthand is not yet common in China. At the beginning, Section Chief Xu took a fancy to me, and it was my shorthand ability that I said, and I could write down everything he said. ”

Zhuang Fangdou was still very proud when he said these words: "The one just now is not a top-secret document, so my secretary can also see that the top-secret document only passes through my hand, is sealed with a special mark, and then escorted by three people and presented to a special department." So if you want to find out the source of the leak from me, I'm afraid you're going to have to run in vain. ”

It seems to be the truth.

Meng Shaoyuan still didn't give up: "Secretary General Zhuang, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that the matter is big, think about it again, is it possible to leak it through other channels when you come to Xuzhou?" ”

"It's impossible." Zhuang Fangdou said categorically: "The person who can enter and exit my office, even if it is a handyman, has been carefully reviewed, although I am not on the front line of intelligence, but this awareness is still there." ”

"Oh, I see."

Meng Shaoyuan stood up: "I'm really sorry for disturbing Secretary General Zhuang." ”

"It's okay, everyone is doing things for the country, come, I'll send you." Zhuang Fangdou also got up: "Although it is said that between our two departments...... Ah, you know, but these are extraordinary times. ”

"Yes, yes."

Meng Shaoyuan said repeatedly: "It's an extraordinary time, so some of the things my brother did were offended. ”

……

"Director Meng."

Just came out of Zhuang Fangdou, Zhu Yanni rushed to Xuzhou in time with two squadrons: "I went to Stationmaster Wang, and he asked me to wait for you here." ”

"You've come just in time." Meng Shaoyuan seemed to have some concerns: "There is a big man in Xuzhou, there is an assassination against him, and Mr. Dai asked me to find out the spies." ”

"Big shots? Who? ”

Meng Shaoyuan quietly pointed to the sky.

Zhu Yanni's face changed slightly: "Do you dare to assassinate this?" ”

"What are these people afraid to do?" Meng Shaoyuan sneered, and then remembered something: "By the way, I got another sum of money in Shanghai this time, and I originally wanted to send someone to send it to you, but I happened to come to Xuzhou, and I brought it to you directly." This time there is a meeting in Shanghai, your sister will participate, I will dictate it to you, you just need to keep it in mind......"

Meng Shaoyuan gave a general account of the decision to expand the guerrilla forces in Shanghai as soon as possible.

"It's done, it's done, I know." Zhu Yanni was a little impatient: "Director Dai gave you a few days?" ”

"The case must be solved by the evening of the day after tomorrow."

"Huh? Pressed for time? Do you still have time to talk to me about this? ”

"What's wrong with the tight schedule?"

Meng Shaoyuan said unhurriedly: "Anyway, that's it, if you can solve the case, if you can't solve the case, it all depends on the will of heaven, at most, let Mr. Dai remove me as an official." ”

"You!"

Meng Shaoyuan's lazy appearance made Zhu Yanni really angry......

……

The second road to visit is indeed large enough.

When I arrived at his quarters, it was past two o'clock in the afternoon.

His butler said that the master was taking a nap and asked them to come back tomorrow.

Where did Meng Shaoyuan have time, he found an excuse to say that he was from the "Central Daily", and was ordered to interview Lu Huiqin.

Wang Guofan said that Lu Huiqin is not only temperamental, but also very good-looking.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard that it was a reporter from the "Central Daily", the housekeeper hesitated and asked them to wait in the living room, and the master would get up at about three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Yanni, do you have anything to eat?" Meng Shaoyuan asked quietly.

"No, you haven't eaten yet?"

"Eat a fart." Meng Shaoyuan scolded in a low voice: "I didn't eat breakfast, I didn't eat lunch, and Mr. Dai also said that he invited me to eat, but I didn't see a grain of rice." My stomach growled with hunger. I drank a cup of tea just now, and I was even more hungry. ”

"You deserve it." Zhu Yanni gave him a blank look, but after all, she was a little distressed: "You don't have to work so hard, you have to rush from Shanghai to Xuzhou, the road is far away, you really don't want your body?" ”

"What's the solution?" Meng Shaoyuan sighed softly: "If the boss says a word, he will break his leg below." If you do this well, you should be dismissed, and if you don't do it well, you will lose your head! ”
