"Third brother, the reporter suit you want."

After going to work, Wu Tianlin came in with a burden.

A gray plaid jacket with leather lining at the elbows, a cap, a pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of the nose, and a Leica professional camera around the neck.

"This is film, five rolls in total, which should be enough for you." Wu Tianlin also took out a professional film box and handed it to Chen Miao.

"Well, the equipment is quite complete, yes, bother, these cost you a lot of money, right?" Chen Miao nodded and asked.

"The camera was borrowed from the equipment department, and the quality of the film we purchased was slightly worse, but the people from the equipment department heard that you wanted to use it, so they bought you a batch of Konica, and the rest didn't cost much." Wu Tianlin explained.

"Where's the press card?"

"I contacted the "Social News" newspaper with a press card, and they said that they would play for a while and send it to you." Wu Tianlin, "The name is a pseudonym that you have been using in the past, Fang Wen. ”

"Well, I see, you go get busy."

……

Three o'clock in the afternoon, Wusongkou, customs wharf.

In order to welcome the arrival of the Japanese economic delegation, the puppet Shanghai Municipal Government, the Japanese army, navy, and consulates in Shanghai all sent dignitaries to greet them at the wharf.

Of course, the news is only made public on a small scale.

The Japanese side has spared no effort to carry out the propaganda of the so-called "goodwill and friendship between Japan and China," so the "Social News," which is the No. 76 organ newspaper, was also one of the news media that welcomed the delegation this time, and Chen Miao, under the pseudonym Fang Wen, joined the welcoming crowd as a reporter.

The docks had long been placed under martial law by the Japanese Marines.

Standing on the shore dock and waiting for a long time, Chen Miao saw a ship on the turbid river with a Japanese flag slowly sailing towards Wusongkou.

In order to create a welcoming atmosphere, the Japanese side also organized expatriates and students, and the scene was quite lively.

The steamer's whistle sounded.

The ship "Asama Maru" slowly approached the customs wharf, and the customs wharf at Wusongkou was taken over by the Japanese Navy, and ordinary ships were not allowed to dock without the permission of the Japanese Navy.

The marching band played a welcome tune!

There were many Japanese puppet dignitaries who went to greet them, such as the Japanese deputy consul general in Shanghai, Kurihara Kozaburo of the Mei Agency, the commander of the Japanese Marine Corps stationed in Shanghai, and dozens of well-dressed officials of the puppet Shanghai Municipal Government, Chen Miao also saw a few familiar faces, and he quickly pressed the shutter to record this moment of shame.

"I heard that there was Dr. Ito, Chief Economic Adviser to Prime Minister Abe, among the members of the economic delegation this time......"

"yes, I've heard about it too......"

"This time, there are not only economists, but also financial experts and trade experts, and it seems that the Japanese side attaches great importance to this economic inspection of China."

"This inspection was at the invitation of Mr. Wang, and the Japanese side sent such a high-level delegation to ...... for our economic development."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Wang is really dedicated to the country!"

……

In addition to the scattered information about the expedition, there are more praises and envy for Wang and Japan, and these people have long been broken by people.

Chen Miao guessed correctly, the Wang family still had reservations about secret negotiations with the Japanese side, and they seemed to want to try their best to win some, and did not want to accept the conditions of the Japanese colonial aggression in their entirety.

That's where his mission came in.

He could feel that Lin Shiqun couldn't shirk it, so he arranged for him to perfunctory Wang, this kind of complex psychology can only be understood, not spoken.

In other words, no matter whether Chen Miao can get the information of the Japanese economic inspection group or not, Lin Shiqun will not be too harsh, but he must give Wang an explanation.

If you send someone to deal with it, it will definitely not work, Chen Miao can be regarded as remembered by Mrs. Wang, the impression is not bad, choose him to go, if he can't do it, then who can say anything?

But Chen Miao didn't plan to mess around like this, he wanted to find out what Wang wanted to talk about with the Japanese side?

Exposing Wang's true face of "fake peace, real surrender" is what he wants to achieve.

The economic delegation stayed at the Licha Hotel, which used to be run by the British, but after the Japanese occupied Shanghai, the British troops withdrew to the south of Suzhou Creek, and this famous hotel in the Far East was taken over by the Japanese, and then it became a special hotel for the Japanese side to receive domestic and foreign dignitaries and celebrities to visit Shanghai.

"Director, this is my preliminary understanding of this delegation, their personnel list and itinerary are confidential, so I can't inquire about the relevant situation for the time being." After Chen Miao returned to No. 76, he reported to Lin Shiqun as soon as possible.

"Well, as a reporter, I can hear so much news, which is already a lot of heart." Lin Shiqun said, "The observation group will stay in Shanghai for one night, go to Suzhou early tomorrow morning, and then visit and inspect in Jiaxing, Hangzhou, Nanjing and other places, and finally return to Shanghai, the time is about ten days, are you interested in being a reporter with the group?" ”

"Ten days, director, in another week, the study class assessment of the inspector's office will be held, if I am not there, what will happen to this assessment?" Chen Miao was taken aback.

"The assessment can be carried out when you come back, some time ago, you also worked hard, so you should go out on vacation to relax?" Lin Shiqun said.

"I listen to the director's arrangement."

"Well, along the way, you'd better get to know the members of the Observation Mission and find out their personalities and preferences." Lin Shiqun instructed, "Also, after you arrive in Nanjing, help me do something." ”

"What's the matter, Director?" Chen Miao said solemnly, I'm afraid that this is the reason why Lin Shiqun sent him to follow the observation group all the way as a reporter.

"When you arrive in Nanjing, make this call, and say that Boss Jin in Shanghai sent you to pick up an important document, and then he will tell you where to meet, you go over and bring the document back." Lin Shiqun wrote a phone number on the manuscript paper with a pencil and handed it to Chen Miao.

Chen Miao glanced at it and already remembered it.

"Remember?"

"Remember, Director." Chen Miao nodded.

Lin Shiqun rolled up the manuscript paper and burned it to ashes: "Remember, you can't mention this task to anyone, including Fu Yewen and Tang Keming. ”

"Yes, Director." Chen Miao said, "But I've been away from the inspector's office for a long time, there will definitely be people who are suspicious, I wonder if I can find another name to make me disappear for a while, and not make people suspicious?" ”

"Well, it makes sense, the identity you use as a reporter is a pseudonym, if you are not there for a day or two, it doesn't matter at noon, it won't be good for a long time, so what good ideas do you have." Lin Shiqun nodded, Chen Miao went on a secret mission, which would inevitably arouse the suspicion of his subordinates.

"Director, otherwise I will disappear for a while in the name of accompanying Xueqin back to my hometown to worship my ancestors?" Chen Miao thought about it for a while, Liang Xueqin has been in Shanghai alone for five or six years, and she has not had her hometown Suzhou for a long time.

As a daughter, she is going to marry a woman, and she should go home to her parents, even if her parents are gone, she should tell her in front of her parents' graves.

This is also the duty of a child.

"That's a good excuse, but isn't it a little rushed?"

"It's okay, anyway, it's going to Suzhou, it's not too far, and the excuse I've thought about it, so I said that Xueqin had a dream at night, and I dreamed that my mother blamed her in a dream for why she was going to get married, and she didn't tell the news to her parents under Jiuquan......"

"Well, you can say that to the outside world, but Miss Liang is also afraid that she will really leave for a while?"

"This is natural, we really went back together, but, we went separately and met in Suzhou, and then, she went directly to Nanjing to meet with me and came back together, director, what do you think of this arrangement?"

Lin Shiqun nodded: "This arrangement is very good, just do what you want." ”

"Thank you, Director."

……

Lin Shiqun actually sent himself to go on a trip as a reporter of the observation group for such a task, but I am afraid that it is not simple.

I'm going to leave tomorrow, first of all, I have to arrange the work of the inspector's office, he is not here, Qiu Junmu, the deputy director, will definitely not be at ease, so let him be comfortable for a few days.

The sky in this inspector's room can't be turned over.

"Tianlin, I have asked the director for leave, and tomorrow I will accompany your wife to Suzhou Province, and it is estimated that I will go for ten days." When Chen Miao returned to the office, he called Wu Tianlin over and instructed, "You and Han Laosi have kept an eye on the inspector's room for me, don't let Deputy Qiu mess around." ”

"Third brother, there is still a week to be assessed?"

"The director approves it, I'll talk about it when I get back." Chen Miao explained.

"Third brother, the road in this world is not smooth, do you want to take some people to be safe on the road?" Wu Tianlin knew that he shouldn't ask more questions.

"I'll bring Song Yunping and Lu Wei, it's enough to have them, there are too many people, and it's not necessarily a good thing." Chen Miao nodded.

"Understood."

"You won't have to send us tomorrow, just have Xiao Qi, I'm not here during this time, in addition to the daily affairs of our inspector's office, some people pay more attention to me, I don't want to use malice to figure out people's hearts, but I won't let people bully me, what's the matter, go to Section Chief Tang, no, it's time to call Director Tang soon, he will help you." Chen Miao said.

"Yes, third brother."

"Go and call Song Yunping over to me."

……

"Why do you suddenly want me to go back to my hometown to save my relatives, you know, why haven't I been back for so many years?" Liang Xueqin felt a little unhappy.

"I know, you don't like those people in the Liang family, but you are surnamed Liang after all, besides, you are going to get married, you should also tell our mother, right?" Chen Miao said comfortingly.

"If he hadn't gambled, how would my mother and I be like this?" Liang Xueqin said angrily, "My father was forced to death by asking for debts, how did they force our mother and daughter away, isn't it because I am a daughter that I can't inherit the Liang family?" ”

"Okay, let's just go and pay homage to our parents, repair the grave for their old people, and don't care about our business." Chen Miao said.

"Really?"

"What am I lying to you for, in fact, if I didn't have a task this time, I need you to help me cover up, I don't want to wronged you like this, at least I have to return to my hometown, let those who drove you out in the first place see, you Liang Xueqin has no Liang family, you can still live better than them, and a hundred times, a thousand times!" Chen Miao explained.

"Do you need my help with any tasks?"

"No, I just need to walk away temporarily, I don't want people to know what I'm going to do, I'll go separately with you tomorrow, Lu Wei and Xiao Song will follow you, protect you and Qiao'er's safety along the way, we will meet in Suzhou, you find a hotel to stay in first, and I will go to you when the time comes." Chen Miao shook her head.

"How did you find us?"

"You don't have to worry about this, the third brother has his own way." Chen Miao smiled.
