Skrull's Shanghai office.
Zhou Weilong was in a very good mood.
Tang Shaoyi was killed.
It was an operation that he personally deployed and directed.
Ever since he served as the district chief of the Shanghai District of Military Reunion, and then the district chief of the Shanghai Latent Area, he has always been evaluated by outsiders with only two words:
mediocre.
No merit and no fault.
But today is different.
The assassination of Tang Dynasty will definitely become the pride of his life.
"District Chief Zhou."
"Good morning, District Chief Zhou."
When he saw his subordinates, he greeted them one by one.
"We'll gather people for a meeting later."
As soon as Zhou Weilong finished speaking, a sharp siren suddenly sounded outside the door.
Before anyone here could react, a large number of patrol officers swarmed in.
"Calm down."
Seeing his subordinates trying to get weapons, Zhou Weilong remained calm: "You are not allowed to act rashly without my order."
The ones who rushed in were not Japanese spies, but police officers!
He had no way to shoot at the policeman in the public settlement.
"Mr. Zhou."
A man slowly walked out from behind the patrolman.
"Mr. Sinclair?"
When he saw that the person who appeared in front of him was actually Sinclair, the Commissioner of the Public Settlement Police Department, Zhou Weilong was startled and knew that something was going to happen:
"Mr. Police Commissioner, why are you free to come here in person today?"
"Search." Sinclair looked at him: "I received intelligence that there are dangerous goods hidden in these, so I specially led a team to inspect them. Mr. Zhou, please abide by the laws of the public concession and ask your people not to resist."
"of course."
Zhou Weilong sat down and lit a cigarette...
…
More than a dozen pistols, two submachine guns, two radios, and a large number of documents were seized.
There was even a copy of the military commander's secret code.
Zhou Weilong's face looked a little ugly.
"What are these?" Sinclair looked at some of the things he found.
"For self-defense."
At the critical moment, Zhou Weilong still behaved very calmly: "There have been too many murders in Shanghai's public concessions recently. I bought a batch of weapons for self-defense."
"What about the radio? Is it also for self-defense?"
"That's for business."
"Oh, really?" Sinclair smiled: "Mr. Zhou Weilong, you were arrested for possessing dangerous firearms and a radio station of unknown origin. Please cooperate with your people and we will protect all your rights."
Zhou Weilong put out the cigarette butt and stood up calmly: "Please call Litong Company for me and tell Boss Meng that I was taken to the patrol room and hire a good lawyer for me."
"Okay, I will, Mr. Zhou."
…
At 9:30 a.m. on October 2, 1938, Zhou Weilong, the head of the military-controlled Shanghai latent area, was arrested by the public concession patrol room.
At 9:35, Shanghai Litong Company received a call reporting the matter.
"Zhou Weilong was caught."
"I know, prepare the car, I'll go to the Ministry of Industry Bureau." Meng Shaoyuan stood up immediately.
Wu Jingyi hesitated for a moment and then said:
"Director Meng, this is an opportunity once and for all."
"I know what you mean. We can use this time to completely eliminate Zhou Weilong." Meng Shaoyuan smiled bitterly: "But I can't do it. Zhou Weilong has served the military loyally for so many years. I can't do it to my own people. My own people. Killing your own people is what the Japanese want to see most."
"Director Meng, Secretary Chen is here."
"Ah, please."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Shixian walked in with a serious look on his face: "Something happened?"
"Yes, District Chief Zhou was arrested."
"Japanese?"
"Public Settlement!"
"The situation is serious." Chen Shixian said immediately: "I will send a report to Chongqing immediately. You go check on Zhou Weilong's condition."
"clear."
Meng Shaoyuan knew very well that although Dai Li was also dissatisfied with Zhou Weilong, this man Dai Li must find ways to rescue...
…
According to Meng Shaoyuan's instructions, the environment in which Zhou Weilong was detained was quite good.
A separate room with all daily necessities.
Even cigarettes and wine were specially prepared for him.
"District Chief Zhou."
"Ah, here we come."
As soon as he saw Meng Shaoyuan come in, Zhou Weilong greeted him and sat down as if he were at home: "The concession moved too quickly, I didn't expect it."
"I have investigated and found out that it was Xie Zhipan's mistress who betrayed this operation." Meng Shaoyuan said immediately.
Zhou Weilong nodded: "Is there any way to get me out?"
"It's difficult, but I will definitely try my best." Meng Shaoyuan said, "District Chief Zhou, you have been here for a few days and leave the outside matters to me."
"Shao Yuan, thank you." Zhou Weilong looked very calm: "This arrest is equivalent to the destruction of the Shanghai latent area headquarters. According to my estimation, even if I can be released as soon as possible, I am afraid I will not be able to stay in Shanghai. .”
Zhou Weilong's judgment was very clear.
He looked at Meng Shaoyuan: "Shaoyuan, Cheng Yiming has been driven away. Now it's my turn. Let's get out of here. This Shanghai is yours alone."
There is something in the words.
Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "District Chief Zhou, this Shanghai is the government's Shanghai."
"Well said, well said." Zhou Weilong smiled: "You, Shao Yuan, are the youngest of the three giants in military control in Shanghai, but you are impeccable in everything you do."
Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "District Chief Zhou, you don't suspect that this matter is related to me, do you?"
"No, no."
Zhou Weilong laughed "haha": "Look, I was arrested, but those foreigners treated me like a distinguished guest, gave me such a nice place to live, and drank and smoked. I'm afraid they were all because of you, Shaoyuan." For brother’s sake, right?”
"Yes," Meng Shaoyuan also admitted frankly: "I, Meng Shaoyuan, have a good relationship with the Ministry of Industry and Industry Bureau, and everyone knows it. Although District Chief Zhou was arrested, he still has to give him some face."
"It's done, let's stop being pretentious."
Zhou Weilong sighed: "Shaoyuan, let me tell you a few words from the bottom of my heart. Before, we didn't fight for a day or two. Now I'm looking at leaving. Shanghai is left to you. From now on. My relationship with Director Dai and the contribution I have made this time will not treat me badly when I return to Chongqing."
I'm afraid Zhou Weilong's problem cannot be changed.
When he dies in the future, he will also die from his arrogance.
"You are in Shanghai and I am in Chongqing." Zhou Weilong said proudly: "We work together after all, and we got along pretty well in the past. Shanghai and Chongqing echo each other and support each other. The entire military command, except Director Dai, everyone else has to We act based on our faces, Shao Yuan, you should understand what I mean, and you should know what to do in the future, right?"
Brother, you are in jail, but you are still thinking about these things?
Meng Shaoyuan stood up helplessly: "District Chief Zhou, I understand. I will report the matter to Director Dai and rescue you as soon as possible. Please take care of yourself."
take care.
goodbye.
The era of military control of the Big Three in Shanghai is over!
