The person who came to pick up Meng Shaoyuan and his party was Tong Muguang, the person in charge of Hefei Military Reunion.
He received an order early in the morning that an important figure, "Mr. Wang", was about to arrive in Hefei, and that he would personally receive him and ensure the safety of "Mr. Wang".
But he waited for two days and still failed to reach his target.
"I'm really sorry." Tong Muguang apologized: "The Japanese army is approaching Anhui step by step. You can smell the smoke in Hefei. The 199th Division urgently reinforces Hefei. There are too many things I have to do."
"It's okay, it's okay." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly.
"Mr. Tong, can our weapons be taken away?" Gan Ning asked.
"Of course, of course."
Gan Ning and Xu Zhu picked up the weapons and handed them back to all the agents one by one.
"Get in the car and let's go."
Tong Muguang opened the car door: "Mr. Wang, will you share a car with me?"
"It's done."
…
The situation in Hefei is indeed not optimistic.
A large number of shops have been closed.
The place Tong Muguang arranged for them to stay was the "Jianghuai Hotel" in Hefei.
As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
Although Hefei was shrouded in the clouds of war, its conditions far exceeded those of Macheng.
The conditions of JAC Hotel are quite good.
"Mr. Wang, there is a lot of chaos in Hefei now." As soon as Meng Shaoyuan was sent into the room, Tong Muguang said immediately: "Japanese spies and traitors frequently operate in Hefei, and they have specifically told me to ensure your safety, so I'm thinking of bringing all the food and drinks to you directly to your room, so as to avoid the danger to the greatest extent.
As for me, I would also like to ask you to stay in Hefei for two more days. The day after tomorrow, the 287th Regiment will move to Chaoxian County. I am thinking that it will be safer for you to go with the 287th Regiment. After arriving in Chaoxian County, our army will unify Chaoxian County. The county agent will re-arrange a way out for you. After much thought, I think this is the safest. "
"Old boy, thank you for your trouble." Meng Shaoyuan cupped his hands: "I also want to ask you for two things."
"You said, as long as I can do it."
"The first thing is that you arrange a group of people to go to the Zhonghe Library and transport all the books in it to Wuhan. You go directly to Mao Renfeng and ask him to properly arrange these books."
"What, books?"
Tong Muguang wondered if he had heard wrongly. The Japanese were about to hit him. Everyone was so busy. How could this "Mr. Wang" still have time to think about books?
Meng Shaoyuan had read this history.
After the fall of Hefei, the Zhonghe Library became a Japanese military camp, and all 5,000 extremely precious books in the library were shipped to Japan.
This is a huge loss for China.
Meng Shaoyuan thought to himself and said: "Also, the family of Xu Ziling, a great writer in Hefei, has a collection of thousands of books, including a large number of treasures and orphans. Also, please send someone to persuade the Xu family to help them transport all these books. Go to Wuhan, and then find a way to retreat to Chongqing."
Not to mention Tong Muguang, even people like Gan Ning Xu Zhu didn't understand.
A war is imminent, and there is a killer following behind. I don’t want to think about how to escape as soon as possible, but what are I doing thinking about books?
Meng Shaoyuan didn't want to explain how valuable these books were to this country. He took out an envelope and handed it to Tong Muguang: "Take a look."
Tong Muguang opened the envelope in confusion and took out the contents. When he saw it, his expression suddenly changed.
These are two checks.
One is five thousand oceans, the other is ten thousand oceans.
"This is?"
Tong Muguang couldn't help but ask.
"Five thousand oceans is for you." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "It takes a lot of money to help with the relocation. We can't let you pay for it yourself, right? If you have more money, consider it my gratitude to you, please Never say no.”
It's really rare for someone to be so generous.
Tong Muguang said politely: "What about another one?"
"Is there a security team in Hefei?"
"Yes, the 5th and 7th security regiments of Song Shike, commander of the Hefei Security Command."
"I need about two companies of security."
Meng Shaoyuan pondered and said: "Search in all hotels in Hefei. Those outsiders who have arrived in Hefei in the past two days must be carefully inspected. Once weapons are found, they will be arrested immediately. Old boy, please go find Commander Song." This ten thousand yuan is the hard-earned money I gave him, and I told him that a large amount of Japanese specials had been mixed in Hefei, and asked him to cooperate in the inspection."
This is a two-for-one thing.
First, we can definitely catch a lot of killers. Second, if we conduct a thorough inspection, we may be able to catch a lot of Japanese special agents who have sneaked into Hefei.
"Okay, I'll go find Commander Song right now." Tong Muguang didn't pursue the true purpose of "Mr. Wang": "The security team assists our military command in arresting people. It is also their task. Commander Song and I have a good relationship. In addition, With your ten thousand oceans, it will be possible."
"Old boy, remember to make a big splash." Meng Shaoyuan gave special instructions: "Also, spread the word that Mr. Wang from Wuhan lives in the Jianghuai Hotel."
Tong Muguang could only smile bitterly.
I'm afraid only he himself knows what exactly this "Mr. Wang" has in mind.
…
Meng Shaoyuan stood at the window, opened the curtains and looked outside.
Ten minutes ago, Hefei had just suffered an air raid by the Japanese army.
Meng Shaoyuan had no intention of escaping from the hotel.
run? Where to run?
Are there any serious air raid shelters?
No matter how fast you run, can you be as fast as a cannonball?
Fortunately, the Jianghuai Hotel survived the air raid unharmed.
"I have a hunch." Meng Shaoyuan suddenly said: "Liao Yuting is not in Hefei."
"Not in Hefei?" Gan Ning frowned.
"He's not here." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "If he were here, he should already know that I live here, and with his ability, he is fully qualified to request the Japanese army to bomb this hotel directly."
Listen, it seems to make some sense.
"This person is really too cunning." Meng Shaoyuan sighed softly: "No matter how he acts, he will not do it himself, but will use his hands to others. Gan Ning, in the next two days, , a lot of things will happen in this hotel.”
There was a knock on the door.
"Xu Zhu is back." Gan Ning listened to the signal and opened the door.
As soon as Xu Zhu came in, he immediately closed the door and said, "Director Meng, I found an acquaintance in the hotel."
"Oh, familiar?"
"Well, yes. And she's wearing makeup."
After hearing what Xu Zhu said, Meng Shaoyuan laughed: "Why are there so many people superstitious about the power of makeup? Makeup sounds mysterious, but it's not that magical. Are you here to assassinate me too?"
"He must be here to assassinate you."
"Then come on."
Meng Shaoyuan stretched out: "Anyway, I have nothing to do here these two days. By the way, you have to create opportunities for this killer."
Gan Ning and Xu Zhu glanced at each other, their eyes a little ambiguous.
…
Doorbell rang.
Gan Ning opened the door just a crack: "Who?"
"The meal you ordered."
"Hold on."
Gan Ning closed the door again, unlocked the safety catch, and opened the door again.
A waiter with a mustache, a hat and glasses walked in pushing a dining cart with his head lowered.
"Your lunch, sir."
The waiter's voice was low.
"Oh, thank you for your hard work. Leave it there."
Meng Shaoyuan was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper.
"Sir, do you need some help?"
"No need for now." Meng Shaoyuan concentrated on reading the news in the newspaper: "Can I ask you something?"
"Excuse me."
The waiter's hand quietly reached under the dining car.
Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "Why do you think that by putting on a mustache, wearing glasses and lowering your head, you can hide the truth?"
The waiter was startled and quickly reached under the dining car.
But then she touched the handle of the gun hidden underneath, and a muzzle was already pointed at her head. Then Gan Ning said coldly: "It's best not to move."
The waiter's body froze.
Only then did Meng Shaoyuan put down the newspaper and stood up. He walked up to the "waiter" and looked at the "waiter" with a lustful look: "You look quite good dressed like this."
The word lustful is usually used by men when looking at women.
Meng Shaoyuan diligently helped the "waiter" take off his hat and glasses, and then easily tore off his mustache.
Then, a beautiful and familiar face appeared in front of him:
Xu Yiyi!
Golden Swallow, Xu Yiyi!
Xu Yiyi's face turned pale: "You...you kill me!"
"You're crazy." Meng Shaoyuan couldn't help but said: "Don't kill you at every turn. Generally speaking, if it is a male killer, I will never show mercy. But you are such a beautiful female killer, how can I be willing to kill you with my own hands?" flower?"
Xu Yiyi's body began to tremble.
She knew how scary this man was, and she knew what she would face soon.
"Handcuffs." Meng Shaoyuan stretched out his hand.
A pair of handcuffs was handed to him.
Xu Yiyi was handcuffed with her hands behind her back again.
It was the same as that day on the Firebird.
Xu Yiyi's body trembled even more.
"Okay, you go out first." Meng Shaoyuan waved his hand: "I want to interrogate this killer personally."
"goat."
Gan Ning muttered.
"What did you say?"
"I said yes."
…
Meng Shaoyuan and Xu Yiyi were the only two people left in the room.
Xu Yiyi finally couldn't help but shed tears. Although she was reluctant to bow her head, she still trembled and said, "Please, let me go. Don't torture me anymore."
She is afraid.
She was really scared.
"You see, to be a killer, you need to have the consciousness to be a killer." Meng Shaoyuan put his hand on her face, and then slowly slid down: "Didn't your godmother tell you? So, I have always been against women becoming agents. , because once they fall into the hands of the enemy, they will be treated very horribly, just like you are now."
"Help!"
Finally, Xu Yiyi collapsed, and as a killer, she actually screamed.
Meng Shaoyuan suddenly thought of a line often said by bad guys in movies and TV shows: "Scream, scream, no one will come to save you even if your throat is broken."
Meng Shaoyuan, a bad guy in the true sense who never hides anything!
