"Mr. Meng, this is the second batch of medicinal herbs."

To be honest, the last person Kawamoto Kojiro wants to see is Meng Shaoyuan.

Every time I am with him, there is always a feeling of being oppressed by him.

However, the burden of rescuing Tokugawa Honda fell on him.

Even if you don't want to, you have to keep going.

Although the Japanese army had the overall upper hand in the Shanghai battlefield, only one person had the upper hand here:

Meng Shaoyuan!

Meng Shaoyuan came alone again.

It seems that the public concession was really opened by him, and he has the final say in everything.

On that occasion, several Japanese agents were taken to the patrol room, where they stayed for a day and a night before they were released, and one of them was beaten.

However, the patrol room refused to admit it, believing that this was wronging and slandering the professional ethics of the patrol house.

Well, well, patience.

When the Ministry of Industry announces the new police commissioner, all passive situations will be reversed.

"Mr. Meng, how is Mr. Tokugawa's situation?"

"He? It's okay, I guess I can't die. ”

Not bad?

Kojiro Kawamoto smiled bitterly: "Mr. Meng, this is the second batch of medicines we have shipped, a total of four batches, and the remaining two batches will arrive soon, can you return Tokugawa Honda to us first?" I promise that I will deliver the remaining medicines to you on time. ”

"I don't believe in you, and I don't believe in Japan." Unexpectedly, Meng Shaoyuan flatly refused: "I must see the last tube of medicine delivered to me before I will hand over Tokugawa Honda to you." ”

Well?

Kojiro Kawamoto had a more complicated look in his eyes?

It seems that Kojiro Kawamoto has mixed emotions: "Okay, in that case, I won't force you, but I can at least make one request, let me see Tokugawa Honda with my own eyes, and prove that he is still alive." Mr. Meng, you can't keep us giving, but you don't let us know anything? His Excellency the Prince is very worried about Tokugawa Honda, and I see that Tokugawa is safe and sound, so I can also report to him that he is safe, and let him deliver the medicine to you more quickly. ”

As he said these words, he waved his hand several times, but each time the back of his hand was facing outwards and the palm of his hand was facing inward.

It's a classic defensive protective move.

It usually appears when you are telling a lie and trying to believe what you are saying.

What lie is Kojiro Kawamoto talking about?

What is he working on?

Find the place where Tokugawa Honda is hidden, and then storm it?

No.

This would cause a war with the military commanders, and this was something that the concession would never allow.

Besides, Meng Shaoyuan was well-armed, and even if the other party attacked, he would not be able to take advantage of it.

Meng Shaoyuan couldn't think of what the other party was planning there for a while.

However, to be honest, Kojiro Kawamoto's request is not too much at all.

Two batches of medicines were delivered, but the situation of Tokugawa Honda was all based on Meng Shaoyuan's mouth.

Anyone will have doubts?

As if seeing Meng Shaoyuan's hesitation, Kojiro Kawamoto hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, Mr. Meng, I will go alone, if you are worried about anything, you can blindfold me." ”

"There's no need for that." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "I won't be so stingy, and I won't be afraid of anything." And if you really want to know where Tokugawa Honda is hiding, you can send someone to follow me. ”

"So, you agreed?"

"Promise, why not?" Meng Shaoyuan smiled and didn't care at all: "I will take you personally, personally send you out, and personally wait for you to save Tokugawa Honda." ”

Once people's curiosity is aroused, it is terrible.

Especially people like Meng Shaoyuan who only think it's okay and don't think it's a big deal.

……

Kojiro Kawamoto never thought that the place where Meng Shaoyuan hid Tokugawa Honda was actually on Hankou Road.

Hankou Road is a name given to foreigners, and Shanghainese people refuse to accept such a name, calling Hankou Road "Sanma Road".

The Shanghai Public Concession Bureau occupies part of Hankou Road.

"No wonder you're not worried about me." Kojiro Kawamoto smiled bitterly: "Relying on the Ministry of Industry here, if we want to forcibly snatch Tokugawa back, the patrols will appear in less than two minutes." ”

This is why Meng Shaoyuan cares so much about the Police Department of the Ministry of Industry.

He chose a junction between Hankou Road and Jiangxi Road, which turned out to be a British-owned company that was used as his warehouse.

Not only is Tokugawa Honda hidden, but there are also a lot of medicines, weapons, and ammunition.

In the event of any incident, patrols will be dispatched quickly to form the first line of defense.

Under normal circumstances, patrols have been able to solve most of the problems.

In the event of an emergency, there are three lines of defense in the warehouse.

On top of that, very few people are willing to make trouble next to the Ministry of Industry building.

As long as the police commissioner is his own person, this warehouse is impregnable!

Therefore, Meng Shaoyuan had to keep Sinclair's position no matter what.

As soon as he got out of the car, two patrolmen who were walking back and forth in the neighborhood came over, with a courteous face: "Boss Meng." ”

"Good work." Meng Shaoyuan gave them the two cigarettes he was carrying: "Take them and smoke them." ”

"Ouch, Boss Meng, this is not exciting, this is not exciting."

"Take it, you're welcome."

"Thank you, Boss Meng, thank you, Boss Meng."

Looking at the two patrols, happily taking a cigarette to the side, Kojiro Kawamoto was a little helpless: "No wonder you can be unscrupulous in Shanghai." ”

"You're welcome, come on, follow me, be careful of being injured by mistake."

As soon as you enter the first floor, you are greeted by two machine guns that are supposed to be behind a pile of sacks.

Kojiro Kawamoto gasped.

Good guy, Meng Shaoyuan turned this place into a battlefield.

There are six agents on the first floor.

Seeing Meng Shaoyuan come in, no one greeted him, but did his duty, monitoring every move outside through the window.

All are carefully trained.

Kojiro Kawamoto can confirm this.

Going up to the second floor, there was another machine gun at the top of the staircase.

On the third floor, in addition to machine guns, there were two more agents with submachine guns on their backs.

And there is an iron door on the third floor, which can be closed at any time.

It's just another four-row warehouse.

The reason why Meng Shaoyuan was fearless is probably here.

No one said a word to Meng Shaoyuan during the whole process.

"They don't seem to have any particular respect for you?" Kojiro Kawamoto suddenly said: "You are their commander, according to the rules of the Japanese army, the subordinates must salute when they see their superiors." ”

"We're not an army." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "I gave them this order, and when performing the task, there is no need to salute and greet anyone." ”

"You're peculiar."

Kojiro Kawamoto said.

Really, Meng Shaoyuan is really peculiar, if there is a chance, Kojiro Kawamoto would like to sit down with him face to face and have a good chat.

It's a pity, maybe Meng Shaoyuan won't give himself this chance, right?

Meng Shaoyuan pointed to a room on the third floor: "The Tokugawa Honda you want to see is inside, go in." ”

Kojiro Kawamoto found a problem: "Aren't there guards outside?" ”

"Guards?" Meng Shaoyuan shook his head: "Why should I guard?" ”

Kojiro Kawamoto pushed the door open and walked in, then closed the door with his hand.

He finally saw Tokugawa Honda.

Part of the gauze on his body has been removed, and his complexion looks pretty good.

"Are you...... Who? Tokugawa Hondo asked in Chinese.

There was some weakness in the voice.

"Tokugawa-kun, I'm Kojiro Kawamoto, and I'm in charge of your rescue work."

"Really?"

"Ah, don't move, just lie here." Kojiro Kawamoto looked and saw that there were no stools around.

"Sit down next to me." Tokugawa Honda sighed: "The people of Shina are worried that I will kill myself, so things like stools will not appear here." ”

Sure enough, the room was empty.

"Tokugawa-kun, you've suffered." Kojiro Kawamoto opened his mouth and said, "Did the Shina people abuse you?" ”

"No, they ...... me Not bad. ”

Kojiro Kawamoto keenly found a problem:

Tokugawa Honda's answer was not so firm.

"Not bad", this is to accept the care of the Chinese for him.

Kojiro Kawamoto studied psychology in the United States, and if he hadn't met Meng Shaoyuan and suffered a heavy blow to his confidence, he would have been a very good psychology expert.

Tokugawa Honda didn't notice anything unusual about the other party: "At first, when the Shina people captured me, I always wanted to kill myself to serve His Majesty the Emperor, but under the strict guard of the Shina people, I couldn't do it. So I thought, since I can't die, why can't I keep my life and continue to serve His Majesty the Emperor? ”

No, no, he didn't want to die.

Kojiro Kawamoto can be sure of this.

Tokugawa Honda is a nobleman who has never suffered since he was a child. He is willing to stay in the army, willing to go to dangerous battlefields, and because it is the heroism in the hearts of young people that motivates him.

What is certain is that when he first became a prisoner, Tokugawa Honda must have thought about committing suicide. However, as time goes by, the determination to die will slowly fade.

"Tokugawa-kun, let me guess." Kojiro Kawamoto asked tentatively: "The people of Shina are very attentive to help you treat your injuries, and then give you food, most of which are the Japanese food you are used to eating?" ”

"Yes, how do you even know what I'm eating?"

Kojiro Kawamoto sighed.

How do you know?

Because he once used a similar method on the body of a Chinese agent, and finally succeeded in getting him to speak.

The Chinese are nothing more than the way to govern others as others.

Tokugawa Honda's attitude has completely softened.

He is no longer a staunch fighter.

He wanted to live, and for a long, long time.

Suicide?

No, it won't.

This is also the reason why Meng Shaoyuan was so bold not to use guards.

First, it was heavily guarded, and Tokugawa Honda could not escape at all.

The second is that Meng Shaoyuan has already seen clearly that Tokugawa Honda has long lost the courage to commit suicide!
