The King of Shanghai, Meng Shaoyuan!
Who would call such a person?
But as soon as Meng Shaoyuan heard this voice and saw this person, he immediately stood up straight:
"Mr. Dai!"
Dai Li!
Sitting on Meng Shaoyuan's chair is Dai Li!
Meng Shaoyuan couldn't believe it: "Mr. Dai, why did you come to Shanghai? It's too dangerous."
"Is there any danger?" Dai Li said calmly: "During the Battle of Songhu, I ran between Shanghai and Nanjing every day, and I was never afraid. Now that there are no planes above me and no tanks on the ground, am I afraid instead?"
"You're not afraid, I'm afraid." Meng Shaoyuan said with a wry smile: "If you make a mistake here, no one can bear the responsibility."
Dai Li smiled: "Young Master Meng are so bold that you are sometimes afraid?"
"Mr. Dai, how dare you be bold depends on the time and the occasion." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "You attacked me suddenly, which made me think something happened. Mr. Dai, when did you come?"
"Come from Wuhan." Dai Li said calmly: "The war is going on in Wuhan, but I still want to come to Shanghai to see it. Is Inspector Gong in Shanghai?"
Upon hearing "Mr. Gong," Meng Shaoyuan hesitated for a while: "Mr. Dai, you are here in time. I'm afraid you didn't receive the telegram jointly sent to you by me, District Governor Zhou, and Secretary Cheng."
"Oh, what's going on?"
Meng Shaoyuan immediately told Zhou Weilong and Cheng Yiming the so-called "truth" that the three of them had agreed upon that day.
Dai Li remained silent, and after a while he said, "Shao Yuan, the three of you are working together to deceive me."
"Shaoyuan doesn't dare. Mr. Gong is attracted by Japan..."
"Okay, Shao Yuan, don't act in front of me anymore." Dai Li interrupted him: "Why did you get attracted by the Japanese? Why did you take a Japanese name like Yanagawa? Do you think I would believe it? You guys, you are heartbroken. For some small calculation, Mr. Gong was sent by me. He is a high-level Japanese latent spy who almost caused the Shanghai organization to collapse. You want to help me cover up my facade."
Meng Shaoyuan didn't dare to intervene.
"What's Mr. Gong's Japanese name?"
"I only know that his surname is Yanagawa, but the specific name is not clear yet."
Dai Li said "Oh".
There was silence in the office.
After a while, Dai Li said: "I really didn't expect, Mr. Gong, ah, Yanagawa would use such insidious means to make three of my generals almost die for the country. I was careless."
Um? Why is there something in the words?
"Mr. Gong's name is Gong Changlin. This should also be his pseudonym. He got acquainted with me in the 18th year of the Republic of China. At that time, I, Dai Li, was just an inconspicuous person, but he followed me loyally and helped me with everything. It was a minor matter. Later, when Lixingshe was established, he became my favorite general and completed many difficult tasks. I have always trusted him. But I didn't expect that he was actually a Japanese spy."
What does "really" mean? Could it be that Dai Li had already suspected him?
"Shao Yuan, do you know why I arranged for him to be in Hong Kong?" Dai Li suddenly asked.
"Did Mr. Dai think there was something wrong with him before?" Meng Shaoyuan said carefully: "Although Hong Kong is important, talents like Gong Changlin should be sent to places that need him more. Such as Shanghai, Wuhan and other places."
"I originally wanted to send him to Shanghai." Dai Li said slowly: "At that time, I transferred him back to Nanjing from North China and prepared to entrust him with important tasks. When he arrived in Nanjing, I happened to accompany the Chairman on an inspection abroad. By the time we arrived in Nanjing, he had been back for three days. I think it was late at night, so I decided to pay him a visit.
He lives in a dormitory specially arranged for him, and these dormitories are not allowed to be locked from the inside. I pushed the door open and went in with very little movement, but Gong Changlin suddenly jumped up from the bed, holding a loaded pistol in his hand. When I saw it clearly, I put away the gun in embarrassment, saying that I was used to it when I was in North China. I smiled at the time and encouraged him a few words, but from that night on, I had a doubt in my heart. Shao Yuan, do you know what the confusion is? "
"I know a little bit."
Meng Shaoyuan said: "You should be vigilant when working outside for a long time. Mr. Dai, when Gong Changlin was in North China, he held quite a big official position, right?"
"The special commissioner of the North China Agency represents the Nanjing headquarters."
"Do you need to go to the front line?"
"Normally, it's not necessary." Dai Li said knowingly: "He is mainly responsible for formulating action plans and supervising their implementation. He does not need to do it himself."
"That's right." Meng Shaoyuan said thoughtfully: "He is not a front-line intelligence agent, but he made a reaction that only a front-line intelligence agent would have. It shows that he is in a nervous mood all the time, and he is nervous all the time. He is wary of the people around him and has trouble sleeping even at night. What is he afraid of? He is protecting his own secret!
This state has been formed for a long time and is difficult to change. It shows that deep down in his heart, he has always regarded himself as an intelligence officer who may be exposed at any time and face extreme danger. Analyzing from a psychological and physiological perspective, even if you are really a front-line intelligence agent, once you go home and you are sure that you are safe, you will still have this reaction on the first night, and the intensity will be greatly reduced on the second night. The third night was when he completely relaxed.
Nanjing was absolutely safe at that time, with iron walls. He was at the headquarters again, and it had been three days. Why couldn't he relax? What is he still wary of? "
"I don't understand what psychological and physiological aspects you are talking about." Dai Li nodded slightly: "But his reaction, based on my experience, is not normal."
Dai Li has real credentials, and his reputation as the King of Secret Agents is genuine.
Just relying on one person's reaction to immediately cast doubt on the other person is not something everyone can do.
"I have some doubts in my heart, but Gong Changlin has followed me for such a long time. He is loyal to his duties, conscientious, and extremely capable. He has successfully completed the tasks assigned by his superiors many times. Moreover, this person has excellent moral character, distinguishes between public and private matters, and is not greedy for money. He is not lewd, has strong self-discipline, and can be regarded as almost a perfect person. How can I censor such a perfect person?"
Dai Li said unhurriedly: "Public review is not possible. I sent people to investigate secretly, but to be honest, any investigation has no results. Even the people I sent to investigate came back and said that they have never seen such a perfect person." There are no flaws. The problem is, the more I say this, the more uneasy I feel."
Meng Shaoyuan had no time to think and blurted out: "There is no such thing as a perfect person. If a person is too perfect, he is probably pretending. He will not allow himself to make any mistakes, and he will not allow himself to fall into the hands of others. Too much. His perfection is to cover up, and his secret must never be exposed!"
"These are just conjectures." Dai Li sighed softly: "At that time, I thought about it for a long time. What can I do to a veteran, a person with no flaws? Dispose of him? Don't use him? Others will see What would he think in his eyes? Will people's hearts fluctuate because of this matter? I must treat it with caution. So after careful consideration, I appointed him as the special commissioner of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and improved his salary to the same level as the senior webmaster. .
After arriving in Hong Kong, he became more serious and responsible in his work. Even Li, the head of the Hong Kong station, came back for a meeting and thanked me repeatedly for sending such an amazing person. Gong Changlin had already done many things in advance without Li having to ask. Several secret Japanese-Japanese contact points were also uncovered by him. He caused great losses to Japan's power in Hong Kong. "
At this point, Dai Li sighed again: "I originally thought that I thought too much and wrongly blamed a good person. But when I looked through the materials brought back by Lao Li, I found that Gong Changlin had not been in Hong Kong for half a year, and a man named Tahara Kota's Japanese suddenly emerged, claiming to be Japan's strongest killer, and became Gong Changlin's mortal enemy.
In our line of work, you can have nothing, but you must be skeptical about everything. If you don't show up sooner or later, Japan's strongest killer will show up as soon as Gong Changlin arrives in Hong Kong? Is it a coincidence, or is it a deliberate arrangement? Why does Tahara Kota regard Gong Changlin as his opponent? At that time, it was Lao Li who was actually in charge of Hong Kong work.
Gong Changlin is the special correspondent, and the person in charge of the work is Lao Li. A person as perfect as Gong Changlin will definitely not take credit for cracking the Japanese special contact point, but why does Tahara Kouta know that it was actually Gong Changlin who did it? Why treat him as a mortal enemy? But again, these are just my suspicions. "
Amazing.
Meng Shaoyuan sighed inwardly.
Many things that seemed normal to others, in Dai Li's eyes, became the target of his suspicion, and judging from the subsequent development, his suspicion was completely correct.
"I have always hoped that my suspicions were wrong, so this time the Military Command Bureau was established and when I dispatched inspectors to various important cities, the first thing that came to my mind in Shanghai was Gong Changlin's name."
Dai Li glanced at Meng Shaoyuan: "No one can lie in front of Meng Shaoyuan. The true and false will sooner or later appear in front of you. I want to use you to distinguish his authenticity!"
Meng Shaoyuan said with a bitter look on his face: "Mr. Dai, please give me a heads up. Our entire army was almost destroyed."
"This is my responsibility. I didn't expect that Gong Changlin would be so impatient to devise such a plan." Dai Li first blamed himself for a few words, and then said:
"But I can't warn you."
Meng Shaoyuan was startled, but then he understood the meaning of Dai Li's words.
A person who has repeatedly made military exploits and has no shortcomings has to be suspected and secretly investigated. When the investigation turns out that there are still no problems, will the people involved in the investigation feel chilled?
For example, would Meng Shaoyuan have such thoughts:
No matter how much you do for Mr. Dai, the final result is that you cannot gain his trust!
