"That's how the whole thing happened."
Standing in front of Akagi, Kenji Takagi was still indignant: "Those dirty patrolmen have all been bribed. They don't want to do anything for us at all."
"Calm down, Takagi-kun."
Chimu Akagi seems to have been mentally prepared for all these situations that have happened: "We have just arrived in Shanghai and took over this position, and we are not familiar with everything yet. Meng Shaoyuan and Juntong have been operating here for a long time, and their advantages Of course it’s more obvious than us. Don’t be in a hurry, take your time.”
In his plan, the most urgent thing at the moment is to establish a firm foothold, and then slowly observe and replace all the detectives who have been bribed by the military commander or who are sympathetic to the military commander.
In fact, his eagerness to act and arrest him was actually a kind of temptation.
That Inspector Li and the patrolman from the Chengdu Road Police Station were undoubtedly supporters of military reunification.
They are the first ones to be replaced.
The phone on the desk rang.
Kenji Takagi answered the phone:
"...What? Say it again? I understand. I will report it to the director immediately."
"What's wrong, so panicked?" Akagi asked Qinzhi.
Kenji Takagi looked in disbelief: "Meng...Meng Shao is here."
Akagi's expression also changed.
Is Meng Shao original?
This enemy of the Japanese intelligence agency actually came here?
"Your Excellency, Director, what should we do?" Takagi Kenji whispered: "Why don't we capture him while he is here?"
"Capture him? Where is this? Public Concession Industrial Bureau Police Department." Akagi Kamiyuki has not forgotten this: "A man comes here, why should we arrest him? He must have done something well when he comes here. Fully prepared. We always lost to him in the past because we were too reckless. Let him come in and see what his purpose is!"
Therefore, Akagi met the "legendary" Meng Shaoyuan.
That Meng Shaoyuan who was making all the difference in the public concession!
"Hello, Mr. Meng." Akagi Qinzhi is always polite in front of anyone: "I am Akagi Qinzhi. I always hear your name. I finally get to meet you today. I am very lucky. I am very lucky."
"Director Akagi speaks Chinese very well." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "I heard that Director Akagi was promoted. I have always maintained a good relationship with the Police Department of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau, so I came here to congratulate him today."
"Thank you, Mr. Meng, thank you very much." Akagi said politely: "I have heard about it a long time ago. Mr. Meng is a legend in the Shanghai Public Settlement, whether it was the former Director Daniel or the later Director Sinclair. Commander, they all praise you very much. I have just taken office and I need your help in all aspects."
Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "Of course, as long as there is any use for me, just ask. Ah, according to the custom of us Chinese, the first visit cannot be empty-handed. I brought a copy to Director Akagi It’s a small gift, I hope you’ll accept it.”
This small gift is a check for five thousand dollars.
This is also Meng Shaoyuan's usual method. He needs to know whether this person can be bribed.
"Five thousand dollars? Your offer is really generous." Akagi glanced at the check: "Did you do the same thing in the past when Sinclair took office?"
Just a glance, calm, this person does not have much interest in money.
Meng Shaoyuan probably felt confident: "Yes, it's the same. But Mr. Director, you can rest assured that I don't want to bribe you, I just want to be friends with you."
"The Chinese people have a really special way of making friends."
"It's really special, but it's also the most practical."
"Mr. Meng, I appreciate your honesty, so I think I should also be more honest." Akagi said slowly: "Before, with the full support of the police department, you did whatever you wanted in the Shanghai Public Concession. Your agents could It’s always the Japanese agents who act unscrupulously and suffer the consequences. Needless to say the secret behind this.
However, this is always a public concession, and it always has its own laws. As the new police chief, I will not allow such things to continue to happen. I will carry out a comprehensive and thorough rectification, restore order in the concession, and completely wipe out all the messy things from here, without any trace of it. Leftover. "
"Yeah?"
Meng Shaoyuan took out a cigarette, held one, flicked it, put it to his mouth, lit it, took a puff, and puffed out the smoke: "I remember Director Sinclair said the same thing when he first took office. Akagi Director, I have to remind you that this is Shanghai, not your Japan. I think we have to discuss many things."
"It's not necessary." Chimu Akagi refused without even thinking about it: "In your words, this is Shanghai, a public concession. I have the final say whether it is right or wrong, not you! Your good life starts from now on. It’s over. Your country’s army has failed on the battlefield, and you will continue to suffer defeat in the concession!”
Meng Shaoyuan smiled.
Everyone who has just sat in this position is always so heroic and ambitious to do something great.
It's better than the Daniel before, at least he only has money in his eyes.
Negotiate with such people in a straightforward and straightforward manner.
I really miss Daniel.
"I don't think our conversation was particularly pleasant." Meng Shaoyuan flicked the ash from his cigarette and flicked it directly to the floor: "I have already thought very clearly about the difficulties we will face after you take over as the Commissioner of Police. But. I tried my best to reverse this passive situation.
To be fair, life is going to be very difficult for me and my men in the coming period. But what about the Japanese agents? Ah, there is no need to deny it, there are only two of us here, and their life will not be comfortable. This will fall into a vicious cycle that you can't solve, Mr. Director Akagi. "
"I will work hard to find a way to solve it." Akagi Miyuki was still smiling: "For example, I will gradually replace those detectives and replace them with people I think are trustworthy. I will compress your living space bit by bit."
This is not an easy person to deal with.
He told you directly what he wanted to do.
The problem is that as long as the Japanese army still occupies Shanghai and Akagi is still in the position of police chief, Meng Shaoyuan will not be able to find a good solution.
At least, Chiaki Akagi thought that the other party had no solution at all.
Meng Shaoyuan thought about it seriously and nodded seriously: "If this plan is implemented smoothly, you will succeed. In about half a year, or at most a year, we will have no living space in the concession."
"Therefore, Shanghai is not your Shanghai, it is mine." Akagi's voice finally had a hint of arrogance: "Or to be more precise, it belongs to the Empire of Japan!"
Meng Shaoyuan threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and stamped it out: "I'm sorry, I'm a rude person. I always throw cigarette butts everywhere."
"It doesn't matter, I won't take such a small thing to heart."
Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "It seems that we have no room for negotiation. I originally thought we would become partners. Farewell, Mr. Akagi."
"Goodbye, I'm very busy, so I won't send it to you... Ah, by the way, Mr. Meng, please take your check with you."
Meng Shaoyuan collected the check and was about to leave when he suddenly asked: "Mr. Akagi, do you have thirty yen?"
Akagi was stunned: "Yes."
"Can you lend it to me?"
Um?
Borrow money?
Akagi was full of doubts. He took out thirty yen and put it on the table: "Of course, who would refuse this small request made by Mr. Meng? But what makes me curious is, do you want to What to do with thirty yen?”
"Look, I only have a check with me, no cash."
Meng Shaoyuan collected the thirty yen in a serious manner: "This money may be used for running away. It may be used to buy bullets to assassinate you."
"Mr. Meng, you are really good at joking."
"Yes, goodbye, Mr. Director."
"Goodbye, Mr. Meng."
Meng Shaoyuan left.
However, Chiaki Akagi fell into deep thought.
What exactly does Meng Shaoyuan want to do?
He came here and failed to bribe him, but actually asked himself if he borrowed thirty yen?
"Sir Akagi." Kenji Takagi opened the door and walked in: "What is Meng Shao doing here?"
"He gave me five thousand US dollars in an attempt to bribe me." Akagi said in a daze: "I refused. When he left, he asked to borrow thirty yen."
"What? Borrowed thirty yen?"
"Yes, he said he would use the money to buy bullets to assassinate me."
"Baga!" Takagi Kenji roared: "This man is too rampant. Find someone to find a way to kill him. Also, Sir Akagi, in order to prevent a dog from jumping over the wall, I suggest you add more bodyguards."
"There is no need to kill the police chief of a public concession. What kind of uproar will this cause? The entire Ministry of Industry and Commerce will be shocked. Meng Shaoyuan does not have such courage."
Akagi still has this confidence: "As for killing him? Takagi-kun, think about it carefully. If it were possible, our colleagues would have done this long ago."
At this point, he was silent for a while: "Meng Shaoyuan is really interesting. He is very courageous. But if you think about it carefully, he dares to do this because he has figured out your thoughts. We don't Dare to arrest him openly at the police station. So he can come and leave in a swagger without having to worry about anything.
I'm sure that he also knows that he can't really bribe me. He came here today just to test me. Mr. Takagi, if you were him in another identity, and there was no hope of buying me off, and you knew that your organization would be in a passive and dangerous situation, what measures would you take? "
Takagi Kenji thought for a long time and shook his head in confusion.
Chiaki Akagi also didn't know that although he got his wish and sat on the position of police chief, he found that the headaches for him had just begun.
Meng Shaoyuan will never give up and will make his next move.
It’s just that no one can guess what this move is!
