Meng Shaoyuan hung the camera on his chest that he bought from a reporter for a hundred yuan.

In his hand, a white handkerchief hangs from a branch.

On the battlefield, this generally represents a white flag.

Surrender, negotiation, or peacemaker.

The belligerents are unlikely to immediately shoot at the person waving the white flag.

"Who?"

Two Japanese soldiers appeared.

This place originally belonged to the Japanese control area.

"Your own people, your own people." Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly said in skilled Japanese.

He is really very grateful to his Japanese teacher, Yuri Yamashita, who taught him this proficient Japanese, and I don't know how many tasks she has helped him complete.

Now, What is Yuri Yamashita doing?

Within a few minutes, he was brought to Captain Hashimoto.

"I'm Shinichi Kudo of the Hanichi Shimbun." Meng Shaoyuan politely introduced himself, he originally wanted to give himself a very domineering Japanese name:

Akagi Goken!

However, when he introduced himself, Conan suddenly appeared in his mind. He's a detective, and he's an expert in micro-expressions, so the two seem to have a lot in common, right?

Hearing the other party's strong Kyoto accent, Captain Hashimoto couldn't help frowning: "It's going on now, Mr. Reporter, what are you doing here?" ”

"At great risk, I passed through the defense zone of the Chinese people." Meng Shaoyuan's expression looked a little afraid: "Your Excellency, captain, you know that when the war between China and Japan started, the Japanese diaspora formed a large number of volunteers to fight for the holy war of the empire. The Japanese expatriates in the concession needed to get the most authentic first-hand information to boost their morale, not the news published by the British, Americans, or Shina that was unfavorable to the Empire. ”

And for good reason.

Meng Shaoyuan seized the opportunity: "Your Excellency, can I interview you?" ”

"Yes...... Soldiers of the Empire, fight valiantly for His Majesty the Emperor......"

With great patience, Meng Shaoyuan listened to Captain Hashimoto babble about himself and the martial arts of the whole team.

Of course, he didn't forget to take a few photos of Captain Hashimoto.

He even took a group photo with Captain Hashimoto.

"I was so moved." Meng Shaoyuan sighed with emotion: "Your Excellency's martial arts will be known by all the Japanese expatriates in the concession, and the victory will definitely belong to us." Your Excellency, I want to go around and interview you, can you? ”

"Please."

At this time, the Chinese army on the opposite side began a small-scale assault again: "Mr. Reporter, it's dangerous here, be careful yourself." ”

"Thank you."

As soon as Meng Shaoyuan left, a military cao next to Captain Hashimoto asked, "Your Excellency, you seem to be a little impatient with that reporter?" ”

"He's a Kyoto person, a Kyoto person who hates it." Captain Hashimoto was dismissive: "If it weren't for the heroic fight of the whole brigade, I wouldn't even want to say a word to him." ”

Meng Shaoyuan had to admit that the perfection of the defense of the Japanese positions fully demonstrated the military quality of their commanders.

Of course, the infiltrated agents didn't perform as well as they did in military command.

The war has taken a serious toll here.

Large swaths of houses were destroyed.

Bodies can be seen everywhere.

At the end of August, Shanghai was still hot and sultry, and there was a very bad smell in the air.

It was necessary to find the weak points of the Japanese defense as soon as possible.

Along the way, several encounters were made with Japanese patrols.

With his proficient Japanese and the title of "Captain Hashimoto", Meng Shaoyuan passed smoothly.

It's a pity that several contact points were destroyed and no one of their own people was encountered.

Under a broken wall, Meng Shaoyuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

A small circle drawn out of bricks.

This is the code for the lurking group.

In the circle, there is also a small triangle, and the position of the triangle is aimed at the north side.

According to the location of the mark, Meng Shaoyuan found several codes one after another.

In front of a half-bombed teahouse, the code disappeared.

Meng Shaoyuan took the camera in his hand and filmed aimlessly.

"Don't move!"

Suddenly, two men rushed out, their shell guns aimed at him.

"Journalists, journalists." Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly raised his hand: "I didn't bring a weapon, only a camera." ”

"Come with us, move, and kill you!"

Under the pressure of the gun, Meng Shaoyuan was honestly taken by them to the teahouse, in a fairly intact, but dimly lit room.

There was also a man inside, hiding in the dark and not being able to see his true face. After hearing a few muttering from his subordinates, he immediately asked, "Are you a reporter?" ”

Meng Shaoyuan immediately heard this voice: "I'm afraid it will rain tomorrow." ”

The man was stunned: "I'm not afraid of rain, I'm carrying an umbrella." ”

"If you want to talk about umbrellas, it's still the umbrella queen made by Lao Xingji." Meng Shaoyuan finished the code: "Feng Chen." ”

"Who are you?"

Being called out by the other party, Feng Chen hurriedly asked.

"Wu Song is the leader of the latent group, Feng Chen, I personally promoted this official of yours."

"Director Meng!"

Feng Chen hurriedly appeared from the darkness, surprised and delighted: "Director Meng, why did you venture here?" ”

He was pulled out by Meng Shaoyuan, and he originally thought that his career was hopeless, but who would have thought that he would become the team leader in the end, so he has always been very grateful to Meng Shaoyuan in his heart.

"Feng Chen, our army has been fighting so far and is in urgent need of intelligence, why did the contact suddenly be interrupted?" Meng Shaoyuan's tone suddenly became stern.

"The radio is broken." Feng Chen was a little annoyed: "Originally, I wanted to go to Shen Zui and Team Leader Shen and them, but Team Leader Shen was exposed, borrowed a stroller, hid the radio station, and finally ran out of the enemy-occupied area." We were also discovered by the Japanese later, and we ran all the way from Wusong to here. ”

Without waiting for Meng Shaoyuan to ask, Feng Chen quickly continued: "Director Meng, we haven't forgotten our work, and we have been trying our best to reconnoiter the Japanese army's defenses, and for this, we lost the lives of our two brothers. We estimated that the Nationalist army would soon launch a counterattack again, so we drew a detailed map of the Japanese army's defense, but we couldn't send it out. ”

There was no radio, Feng Chen sent two groups of people to send the defense map out, but they were unsuccessful, instead, in the next few hours, they lost the lives of two brothers one after another.

Now, it's just the three of them.

"Director Meng, the Japanese army is not strong enough." Feng Chen took out the defense map: "North of Luodian, the Japanese defense is empty, only half of the squadron is stationed there, and there are a large number of weapons and ammunition stored, the only obstacle is the river, but there is a pontoon bridge there to cross the river." ”

Meng Shaoyuan was overjoyed.

This information is so important.

He took the defense map and looked at it carefully, and then took out a lighter and burned the defense map.

"This?"

Feng Chen was stunned.

"It's all written down here." Meng Shaoyuan pointed to his head: "If the Japanese search my body, they won't be able to find me here." ”

"Then please Director Meng."

"What about you? There are only three people left, and the radio station is also damaged, Feng Chen, I approve your retreat. ”

"No, Director Meng." Feng Chen gasped: "The national army's counterattack is imminent, we have to continue to stay here." Have you forgotten what you once said to me? ”

"Feng Chen, if you can survive, you don't have to worry about the future. If you die in battle, you are unlucky, but your family can get a large pension.

I'm not afraid to tell you that in addition to taking a one-time sum of money, family members can receive a condolence payment every year in the future, and there is something to take every New Year. The treatment of spies of each class is different. ”

This is what Meng Shaoyuan said to Feng Chen that day.

"Director Meng." Feng Chen smiled: "Brothers, we are grateful to you for letting us have no worries. Those of us who have pinned our heads to the waistbands of our trousers have died, and our families have someone to take care of, and we are content. ”

Meng Shaoyuan nodded silently: "Feng Chen, if you survive, I will also give you a promotion." ”

"Thank you, Director Meng, thank you, Director Meng." Feng Chen was overjoyed.

Get promoted and make a fortune, who don't want to do it?

Meng Shaoyuan quickly knew that his decision was the right one.

When I went back, I still had to pass through the position of Captain Hashimoto.

But right here, Major General Akutagawa, the head of the Asama detachment of the Japanese army, who was inspecting the Hashimoto position, ordered someone to bring "Kudo Shinichi" to him.

And a careful search was carried out.

Of course nothing.

"Your Excellency, General." Meng Shaoyuan said very cautiously: "I am a reporter, and I am responsible for telling the expatriates in the public concession about the heroic performance of the soldiers. You can also search my camera, where to expose all the photos in it and invalidate it, I can also accept it. ”

"There's no need for that." Asama Akutagawa looked Meng Shaoyuan up and down for a while: "Are you from Kyoto?" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency the General, a native of Kyoto. Listening to your accent, you are also from Kyoto? ”

Asama Akutagawa smiled slightly: "Have you ever been to the Gion Kaikan?" ”

"Ah, Gion Kaikan, I really want to go." Meng Shaoyuan's voice was full of yearning and a little regretful: "But the consumption there is not something that a young reporter like me can afford." ”

Akutagawa Asama was satisfied.

At the Gion Kaikan, you can enjoy seven traditional performances that Japan is proud of: Kyoto Dance, Ikebana, Tea Ceremony, Koto, Gagaku, Kyogen, and Bunraku.

A spy can learn Japanese and learn about Japanese history and culture, but you will never know about a place like Gion Kaikan that is not a real Kyoto person.

As a soldier, Akutagawa Asama is actually very cautious.

"Alright, Mr. Reporter, you can leave."

"Thank you, Your Excellency."

"Remember, you should fully publicize the martial spirit of the imperial soldiers in the newspapers."

"Understood, Your Excellency."

"Then, I won't send someone to escort you."

"There is no need for this, Your Excellency, I think I can go back on my own."

This was the first time Meng Shaoyuan had dealt with Akutagawa Asama.
