Black cars were driving on the roads of the French Concession, the trams outside the windows were ringing, and workers and clerks, both men and women, were busy. The rows of merchants and shops on both sides of the street are open for business as always, the wives and ladies sitting on the rickshaws swaggering through the market, the smiling women in thick clothes soliciting customers on the street, and the taverns and restaurants are still doing thriving business, and the sound of shouting five drinks and six cups is endless.

There is no longer the slightest smell of war in Shanghai, and even a few years ago, when the war was at its fiercest, the two sides of the Huangpu River were completely different, even if one side was hell, the other side was still heaven. Sun Jin, who had a cold face, silently withdrew his gaze from outside the car, his heart was full of mixed feelings, and various thoughts were churning back and forth in his mind.

If he used to hate the deformed prosperity of Shanghai when he first came to Shanghai, but as the latent continued, Sun Jin's way of thinking began to change, and now he is less angry.

Sun Jin worked for an American trading house in the concession, and all the staff in the firm, except for the boss and accountant, were all Shanghai locals, and only Sun Jin was from Hunan. After three years of latent life, Sun Jin can speak Shanghainese fluently, and if he is not a person who knows the roots, he will not be able to see that Sun Jin, who is good at calculation, is not from Shanghai.

It's already after work, but Sun Jin can't go home yet, because he still has to go to the Western restaurant called Lan Luo to meet his boss. Sun Jin was subordinate to the military command, but he had a privilege that other military commanders did not have, that is, he could bypass the person in charge of the military commander's Shanghai station at any time and contact the Chongqing headquarters directly. The car slowly stopped outside the door of Lanluo's restaurant, Sun Jin walked out of the car, first habitually looked left and right a few times, and then slowly walked into the restaurant.

Robert, the owner of the comptoir, was already sitting in Lanro's restaurant, a regular customer of the restaurant and had a good relationship with the owner of the restaurant. "Sun, this way..." Seeing Sun Jin walk into the restaurant, Robert, who was sitting in the corner of the restaurant, immediately waved at Sun. Sun, your speed is too slow, look at me, I'm almost halfway drunk in this bottle of wine. Beckoning Sun Jin to sit down opposite him, Robert, who was as enthusiastic as usual, poured Sun Jin a glass of whiskey first.

Sun Jin actually didn't like to drink foreign wine, but in the face of Robert's enthusiasm, Sun Jin, who was really hard to refuse, had to accompany Robert to drink the remaining half of the wine. The alcohol content is low, but the stamina is not small, and Sun Jin, who stopped Robert from serving wine, would actually be a little dizzy. Xu was aware that Sun Jin was already drunk, and Robert immediately lowered his voice and whispered to Sun Jin. "Sun, what do you think of what happened in the concession this time?" Seeing that Sun Jin didn't seem to understand the meaning of his words, Robert stretched out his right hand and made a shooting motion at Sun Jin.

Sun Jin's heart skipped a beat, and then he looked at Robert as if he didn't know anything, "Robert, what are you talking about?" I don't understand what you mean. Sun Jin's answer made Robert suddenly laugh, tilted his head and poured the remaining wine in the cup into his mouth, and then said to Sun Jin, who pretended to be drunk.

"Sun, you don't have to be like this, I'm an American, not a damn Japanese dwarf. Believe me, I am not the enemy of you Chinese, on the contrary, I think we should be partners and allies. Robert's words sounded a little messy, but in Sun Jin's ears, they meant something else. At this moment, to Sun Jin's ears, Robert's words just now were more like a hint. That's right, it's just a hint, but Sun Jin hasn't fully figured out Robert's intentions.

Seeing that Sun Jin's face was still confused, Robert had to put down the wine glass in his hand, and while reaching out to support his forehead, Robert shouted at Sun Jin in a low voice. “dk… dk… I'll be honest, I'm actually an intelligence officer, just like you. The only difference is that you work for the military and I work for the U.S. government, you know what I mean now, right? Regardless of whether Robert's words were forced to be helpless or for some other reason, Sun Jin was reluctantly repaid by the information contained in the other party's words, because he never thought that his boss was actually an intelligence officer, and the other party already knew his identity.

Sun Jin's right hand was subconsciously placed on his chest, and in the button that was pressed by his right hand, there was always a poison pill that could cause instant death. "No... Grandchild... You don't have to, as I said, I'm not your enemy. "Sun Jin's actions startled Robert, how could he, who is also an intelligence officer, not know some small methods of his peers, in fact, Robert's body also hides poison." Sun, I asked you out today, I just want to talk to you about cooperation, I know you have a lot of authority. ”

Under Robert's words and Wen Yan's persuasion, Sun Jin temporarily gave up his intention to put the poison in his mouth, but his right hand never left the button. "How do you know I'm from the Legion? How do you know that I have direct access to the Military Command Headquarters? Sun Jin looked at Robert coldly, and the other party just shrugged his shoulders and gave Sun Jin an answer that he could only vomit blood secretly.

Not every Chinese soldier has the determination to sacrifice his life for the country, and in the same way, not every intelligence officer under the military command has Sun Jin's psychological preparation to treat death as home. Therefore, Robert's method of collecting information about Sun Jin is very old-fashioned, but it is also very effective, that is, relying on the power of money. There are also mixed good and bad in the military system, there are people with firm determination like Sun Jin, and there are also some guys who look at money, and Sun Jin's information was betrayed to Robert.

"Sun, I must admit that you are an excellent intelligence officer." After Sun Jin's mood gradually calmed down, Robert continued. "If I hadn't been in that café last time, I probably wouldn't have been able to see you connect to your ceiling, and, you know? That upline of yours has had more than one transaction with me, so when I see him, I can conclude that you are also a military commander. ”

Robert's words made Sun Jin only secretly scold his mother in his heart, but his emotions unexpectedly calmed down, and now Sun Jin just wants to find out what Robert knows about the military commander. "Sun, I'm really trying to cooperate with you, you can see what I mean when you look at these things." As he spoke, Robert handed a document to Sun Jin, and the suspicious Sun Jin reached out to take the information denied by the other party, opened it, and the first thing that caught Sun Jin's eye was a portrait.

"This is a portrait, I got it from the Concession Patrol Room through my connections, and you may not believe it, Tegaoke and No. 76 are almost a portrait, and they are looking for the person in the portrait." Robert's speech was a little slow, but he successfully aroused Sun Jin's interest, a person who was being searched by the Japanese pseudo-intelligence agency with all his might, must have his particularity and importance. Sun Ji immediately subconsciously looked up at Robert, his eyes revealing expectation, expecting Robert to finish his words.

"According to the information I have so far, the person on the portrait is the mysterious person that Tegaoke has been tracking." When Robert said this, he suddenly paused, and seeing that Sun Jin's face showed a blankness, Robert continued. "During this period, there have been incidents of Japanese puppet spies being attacked in the concession one after another, which you should know. But what you don't know is that last year and this year, Hongkou District was continuously blocked by the Japanese army, and it was also because of this person. My insider said that in Shanghai, there is a mysterious person who likes to wear a skull mask, and he likes to fight against the Japanese pseudo-intelligence agencies. ”

In fact, since Lu Yuan first fought with the Japanese military police unit in Reagan in the concession and erected a banner with Chinese characters, the military commander has paid great attention to this, and the military command headquarters even has the idea of including this person under his command. It's just a pity that this mysterious person has been coming and going mysteriously, and there is no trajectory to trace his actions at all.

Robert said to Sun Jin with some triumph, "I have been studying this mysterious man for a long time, and I found that he is only interested in the Japanese and your so-called traitors, so I used my strength to find him in Shanghai. Unfortunately, my operation failed, and this morning, my team of street watchers, along with a few gang members I had hired, all went missing. ”

"So, I think, this mysterious man is most likely not alone, and behind him, there should be an organization supporting and helping him. In Shanghai, in addition to the Japanese puppet intelligence agencies, those who have this ability are your military commanders and underground parties. Therefore, I ask you to help me contact the underground party organization in Shanghai, and I am willing to take a ton of ammunition as a reward for sending my people back. If the underground party is willing to hand over that mysterious man, the US government can even provide them with a large number of weapons and equipment for free, including heavy equipment such as planes and tanks. ”

Robert's words seem to have been made very clear, and Sun Jin has also understood that the cooperation that Robert said is just to act as a liaison himself. "I could have given it a try, but I can't guarantee that I can do it, and you'd better write something else." Surprised by Robert's conditions, Sun Jin did not express it on the spot, because he had to contact the military command headquarters first, after all, the military commander was also very interested in that mysterious person.
