Jing'an Temple is the busiest place in the Shanghai Public Settlement.
Even after the fall of Shanghai, there was still an endless flow of people here.
Department stores sell the latest American suits and British leather shoes.
The cigarette stall displays the most popular Egyptian cigarettes in the past two years.
The fruit seller boasted that his fruit came from France.
In the cinema, on the large poster, the faces of a man and a woman were pressed closely together.
The ad said:
"The new masterpiece of the United States, 'Follow Me,' features handsome men and beautiful women, and poignant love."
Everything is foreign.
A few students looked to the side and suddenly opened their coats, revealing the white shirts underneath.
There are four bright red words written on the shirt:
The war will be won!
They jumped to high places, gave loud speeches, and shouted loudly that all people in China should unite and defeat Japanese imperialism!
The patrol's sharp whistle soon sounded.
"Patriotism is not guilty!" the students shouted.
"French pear, sweet French pear!"
"Down with Japanese imperialism!"
"Shine shoes, shine shoes. Does the boss want to shine shoes?"
All kinds of weird sounds mixed together.
The bizarre Shanghai!
Meng Shaoyuan walked into Huayang Film Company.
Previously, this was a film company run by Miao Chengfang.
Later, with the "disappearance" of Miao Chengfang, this newly established film company closed down.
This was one of several secret places where he and Meng Shaoyuan agreed to meet before Miao Chengfang was ordered to lurk.
Once the agreed advertisement is published in the newspaper, it will be a signal for Meng Shaoyuan to request an immediate meeting with Miao Chengfang.
He walked into the former chairman's office.
Miao Chengfang has arrived.
In the corner, a cabinet was removed, revealing a safe hidden behind it.
The safe was opened and there were three gold bars and some banknotes inside.
"If anyone finds out, I'm going back to Huayang Company to get the money."
Miao Chengfang said calmly.
Meng Shaoyuan was not surprised at all by his methods.
What made him curious was how Miao Chengfang was dressed today.
Wearing a mask only used by doctors, it covered most of his face.
I also wore the "Navigator" green lenses produced by the American company Bausch & Lomb:
sunglasses!
Once this "Navigator" came out and was mass-produced, it was immediately loved by the U.S. Air Force. Almost everyone had a pair, and it quickly became one of the two standard items of the U.S. Air Force along with the jacket.
Not only that, Miao Chengfang was also wearing a particularly large and obviously ill-fitting dress.
"Lao Miao, what are you doing?"
Meng Shaoyuan couldn't help but asked: "What are you dressing up like? You don't need to be like this to protect yourself from the Japanese?"
"I might as well be Japanese."
"Then why are you dressed like this?"
"I'm guarding you."
"What are you doing to prevent me?" Meng Shaoyuan felt confused.
Miao Chengfang smiled: "From the first time I met you, I had a feeling that you can read other people's inner thoughts from their faces. I also said that next time I see you, I will cover my face with a piece of white paper. Face. I thought again, if you really have this ability, can you also tell something about my movements? So, I have to cover my whole body. "
Sure enough, he even put his hands into his sleeves.
Meng Shaoyuan couldn't laugh or cry.
That's right, that's right, I can really do the so-called "mind reading". To put it bluntly, it's micro-expressions in psychology.
Many people in this era believe that they have special magical abilities.
Of course Miao Chengfang doesn't understand micro-expressions.
But he made the best preparations.
"Old Miao, you are going too far."
Meng Shaoyuan took a stool and sat across from him.
"etc."
Miao Chengfang suddenly said.
Then he lifted up the mask, stuffed two candies in his mouth, and then put down the mask: "I am not as capable as you, but it is passed down from my ancestors. With the speed of a person's speaking voice, is stuttering due to nervousness? I can tell to a certain extent whether he is lying, so I have to guard against this."
Meng Shaoyuan was finally convinced.
That's right, when facing a suspect, once the suspect is eating, there will definitely be a big deviation in judgment.
Miao Chengfang didn't live in the era he lived in, otherwise he would be a psychology expert.
"It's okay now." Miao Chengfang said: "Why are you so anxious to come to me?"
"You are better at guarding against me than against the Japanese." Meng Shaoyuan muttered: "Lao Miao, you must know about the assassination of Yoshikawa Wumen?"
"Yes, the Japanese are getting angry, and Inoue Hiaki is also under house arrest."
"Do you know who did it?"
"You, everyone knows you did it."
"Lao Miao, you are lying."
"I'm lying? Why do you say that?"
Miao Chengfang is smart, powerful, and even cunning, but after all, he does not know what psychology is, let alone what astonishing levels the research on psychology will reach in the future.
"Old Miao, didn't you say I'm very capable? Well, I won't hide it. I'll tell you how I found out. This will also be good for your future lurking."
Meng Shaoyuan said unhurriedly: "You have two candies stuffed in your mouth, and you are wearing a mask, so your speech is a little unclear, but people say it still has a tone. 'You, everyone knows you are. You did it'. The first word 'you', your voice seems low, and the word 'ah' is relatively loud. This may be due to uncertainty, or you know that I don't have such ability.
Between the second word 'you' and the word 'do', not only was there a particularly brief pause, but your nose also let out a heavy breath, which was covered by the mask, allowing me to hear it more clearly. If I wasn't sure before, then I can be sure that you are ridiculing me because you know this was not done by me at all. "
Behind his sunglasses, Meng Shaoyuan could not see Miao Chengfang's eyes, but he could be sure that the other party was staring at him.
After a while, Miao Cheng just said: "In the past, charlatans, especially fortune tellers, would use your method to know what other people want to tell their fortunes from their facial expressions and words, but your level should Even higher, is there a specialized subject in foreign countries that focuses on how to read and listen to the other person and know whether the other person is telling the truth or a lie?"
"That's right, this is called psychology. Xu Enzeng, Section Chief Xu of our Central Division, also studied a little bit of psychology. But he didn't master it very deeply." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "I'm different, I'm here A lot of hard work has been done from above!”
"No wonder, no wonder."
Miao Chengfang murmured: "This is scary, especially in interrogation work. You can easily gain the upper hand invisibly. If I have the chance, I have to learn from you."
"That's for later."
Meng Shaoyuan returned to the topic: "Lao Miao, does the assassination of Jichuan Wumen have anything to do with you?"
"With me? Let me tell you, Director Meng, you think too highly of me. I have always been monitored by the Japanese and there is no way to leave the public concession. How can I be so capable of assassinating Yoshikawa Wumen?"
"You're lying again." Meng Shaoyuan sighed softly: "I can't even imagine how capable you are. Even if Yoshikawa Wumen was killed without you, you must know a lot of things. We have a comrade lurking in Japan. People there, and the class is very high, right? But who is this person? Almost no one knows."
"You mean I know?"
"You know, you must know." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "I call this comrade 'Mr. Mysterious', and I am sure that you know Mr. Mysterious. Before you and Tian Qi were ordered to lurk, I told you most of the Tianzi-level The contact point and contact information of the intelligence agent. Mr. Mysterious also knows the location of the intelligence agent No. 8, and even the contact code. Then one of the two of you has a problem, Tian Qi, or you.
It's not Tian Qi. He's not that capable yet, and as long as he knows the truth, he will definitely report it to me. Then it's just you. You got in touch with Mr. Mysterious and trusted him enough to tell you these top-secret contact points, just in case. Mr. Mysterious would not use it easily, but the situation was urgent.
It was because of Intelligence Agent No. 8 that I connected Mr. Mysterious with you. "
"What else?" Miao Chengfang stopped chewing: "Tell me everything you guessed."
"There are many more." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "Do you still remember the story you told me before about Nagasaka Hiromichi and the ten agents?"
That day, Miao Chengfang told Meng Shaoyuan: "Except for those who participated in the training class at that time, the only one with a complete list of these ten people was President Yuan Da. We only know that the Japanese-Russian Shenyang War destroyed the Liaohe Bridge and instigated East Asia Volunteer Army, these ten people are active in it.
Later, President Yuan recalled these ten people to form his own special agent training class, but only six of them actually came back, and four more were missing. Director Meng, tell me, why did you say that all ten people were back? And introduced these ten people to the secret service training class in a serious manner? "
There are four more people on a lurking mission!
And it is a long-term latent mission.
"One is Hiromichi Nagasaka." Meng Shaoyuan's tone was very calm: "This man's success is incredible to me. He married the sister of Yasha Fujiwara Kikawa from Hokkaido and became the Japanese colonel, responsible for intelligence work against Soviet Russia. I am convinced that a spy can do this, I believe it from the bottom of my heart.
So I suddenly had an idea. Is it possible that this mysterious gentleman is also one of the four latent agents and is in Shanghai now? After so many years, since he has not exposed his identity, it means that he is very successful in lurking and his status is not low. He wants to assassinate Yoshikawa Gomen, and he has such conditions. "
Miao Chengfang shook his head: "But I don't know which four people are lurking."
"However, you, Lao Miao, were one of the first thirty non-commissioned officers selected by President Yuan that year!"
