There are still a few days before Wang Jingwei runs away, and there is still no news about Kitaoka Mazhi.
We should take advantage of this period of time to solve this case smoothly.
Hey, if you meet Mr. Meng, I'll count it a bad time for you.
Xiaozhong went back to Meng's garden.
I don’t know how Zhu Yanni and the others will react after seeing Zhen Naiko.
do not care.
Meng Shaoyuan called Li Zhifeng and asked him to lead two plainclothes guards to follow him quietly to protect him.
Who is this spy and where does he like to go?
His family is clean.
He changed into a suit himself and went out to hail a rickshaw without using a car.
"George MacKay's Tea House."
Meng Shaoyuan said as soon as he got in the car.
The rickshaw driver ran very fast.
Arriving in front of the George MacKay Teahouse, Meng Shaoyuan got off the bus, paid the fare, and walked slowly into the teahouse.
The teahouse was already full of people.
Chongqing people like to drink tea and set up dragon gate formations.
This teahouse is opened by an American, so it has such a strange name.
That spy would bring his girlfriend here for tea every day when he was not on duty.
His code name:
"One-armed thief"!
Damn it, who picked such a code name?
This guy was originally a bandit and had one of his arms chopped off. He was later recruited by officers and soldiers and became an officer in the Sichuan Army.
He was given the codename "One-Armed Thief" because he was missing an arm?
This IQ.
Meng Shaoyuan found the target at a glance.
A guy wearing the uniform of a major in the Sichuan Army with only one arm was chatting and laughing with a beautiful young lady.
One-armed thief!
The woman sitting next to him is his girlfriend Xu Zhen!
He can play the piano, is fluent in English, and is said to have a close relationship with Wang Jingwei.
She played a crucial role in solving the one-armed robbery case.
Not to mention, the one-armed thief can also speak very fluent English.
Where did a guy with a bandit background learn English?
No wonder Xu Zhen became her girlfriend, they have something in common.
Meng Shaoyuan walked over slowly.
As he passed their table, he stretched out his hand inadvertently, and the cigarette case placed aside by the one-armed thief was knocked to the ground.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."
Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly bent down and picked up his cigarette case, but the cigarette case was knocked open and a few cigarettes were scattered aside.
"Sir, I'm so sorry." Meng Shaoyuan looked horrified.
The one-armed thief wanted to get angry, but he looked at Xu Zhen and said, "Forget it."
"I'm such a clumsy guy." Meng Shaoyuan seemed to be talking to himself, speaking in fluent English.
This immediately made the one-armed thief and Xu Zhen interested.
Xu Zhen couldn't help but also said in English: "Sir, your English is very good."
"Ah, you also speak English?" Meng Shaoyuan looked very surprised.
"Can't women speak English?" the one-armed thief said coldly.
"Sir, your English is also very good." Meng Shaoyuan complimented: "I didn't expect to meet you two in this small teahouse. This is really an honor for me."
Your sister.
Three Chinese people speaking English in a teahouse in Chongqing?
Meng Shaoyuan took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket: "Sir, look, I soiled your cigarette. This is my compensation for you. I hope you don't mind."
"Egyptian smoke." The one-armed thief looked much better: "In this world, it is not easy to get Egyptian smoke."
"You are really discerning." Meng Shaoyuan smiled.
Xu Zhen looked into the teahouse: "Sir, there are many people in the teahouse. I think there are no empty seats. Why don't you sit at the same table with me?"
"Ah, that's really my honor." Meng Shaoyuan did not sit down immediately: "Sir, can I sit here?"
This was enough to give the one-armed thief some face, so he nodded.
"I'm from another province." As soon as he sat down, Meng Shaoyuan ordered tea and asked the waiter to add two snacks: "It's such an honor to meet you here. My surname is Zhu, Zhu Yanfan. I must have this meal today. please."
"You are too polite, Mr. Zhu." Xu Zhen also introduced: "My name is Xu Zhen, and he is Lu Wupeng."
"Miss Xu, Sir Lu." Meng Shaoyuan finally knew the name of the one-armed thief.
Lu Wupeng saw that he was an Egyptian smoke again and was generous with his actions, and his attitude became much kinder: "Mr. Zhu came to Chongqing to visit friends, or did he come to do business?"
"Do some small business." Meng Shaoyuan said politely: "I am in the fur business. Ah, there are wars everywhere. The world is difficult and business is not easy to do, so I came to Chongqing to try my luck. Ah, Mr. Lu , Miss Xu, you and I hit it off as old friends today, why don't I pay you a visit at home some other time, I have two good leather goods, please accept them."
"How is that possible? We just met Mr. Zhu, how can we accept Mr. Zhu's things?" Xu Zhen said hurriedly.
Lu Wupeng didn't take it seriously.
After the war broke out, the government moved the capital to Chongqing, and more and more businessmen came to Chongqing. However, the vast majority of them have no foundation in Chongqing. It is difficult to do business and they are extorted by local gangsters.
what to do? Find a backer.
If you want to find someone to support you, of course you have to give gifts. Lu Wupeng himself has often received gifts from others.
"You don't have to be too polite to wish me boss." Lu Wupeng deliberately wanted to get two leather goods: "It's a gift, so I don't need to. I think you can have a casual meal at my place if you have the chance."
Xu Zhen suddenly said: "Wu Peng, didn't you invite me to your place for dinner tomorrow? I think you should also invite Mr. Zhu to come with you tomorrow?"
"Okay, I wonder if Boss Zhu is willing?"
"Oh, I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it." Meng Shaoyuan said repeatedly.
Everything is according to plan.
…
Xu Zhen returned home, rested for a while, and played the piano for a while. Suddenly she heard a knock on the door outside.
"Who?"
Xu Zhen didn't dare to open the door easily.
"Miss Xu, it's me."
Congratulations sir?
How did he get here?
Xu Zhen opened the door in confusion: "Mr. Zhu, how do you know I live here?"
Meng Shaoyuan smiled slightly: "Miss Xu, I want to know where people live. It's very simple. Look, I don't mean any harm. Can I go in and have a conversation with you?"
Xu Zhen hesitated for a moment, then invited Meng Shaoyuan to come in.
"Mr. Zhu, what would you like to drink?"
"No."
"Mr. Zhu, why do you come to my place?"
"Miss Xu, my name is not Zhu Yanfan." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "My surname is Meng, Meng Shaoyuan. I am from the military command."
Military rule?
spy?
Xu Zhen was shocked.
"Miss Xu, everything today, including the meeting with you, was arranged by me." Meng Shaoyuan got straight to the point: "Do you know who your boyfriend Lu Wupeng is?"
Xu Zhen was wary: "Of course I know, he is an officer."
"Officer?" Meng Shaoyuan sneered: "Yes, he is an officer, but he is also a traitor!"
"Impossible!" Xu Zhen shouted loudly: "Wu Peng cannot be a traitor. I understand Wu Peng."
"You don't understand!" Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "I am a military commander. How could I target you for no reason? I only found you with sufficient evidence."
Xu Zhen became confused: "You are looking for me? What are you looking for me for?"
She simply couldn't believe that her boyfriend, a major officer in the National Revolutionary Army, would be equated with a traitor.
Meng Shaoyuan quickly said: "There is a very important piece of information that is still hidden with Lu Wupeng. We need your cooperation to find this information."
"No, no." Xu Zhen's face turned pale: "I won't do such a thing, no."
"You have to do it." Meng Shaoyuan's tone became slightly more serious: "This is your responsibility as a Chinese! Do you know what Lu Wupeng did? He used his authority to continuously provide intelligence to the Japanese, Chongqing was constantly being bombed, but our artillery units were never able to shoot down a single Japanese plane, and that was Lu Wupeng's 'contribution'!"
Xu Zhen was stunned.
how come? How could Lu Wupeng do such a thing?
"Our compatriots are bleeding! Our land is burning!"
Meng Shaoyuan had never said anything close to a speech before, but this is the best way to deal with people like Xu Zhen, and the more impassioned the better:
"Ms. Xu, our soldiers fought bloody battles with the Japanese troops on the front line to protect this land, but in the rear, scum like Lu Wupeng appeared! Our soldiers who died will not rest in peace, and our people who died in death will not rest in peace. !
Lu Wupeng is your boyfriend, but standing beside you are your people and your country! Help this country, help this suffering country! "
Meng Shaoyuan fully mobilized his emotions.
Maybe, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, I can become a speaker?
Xu Zhen's tears slowly flowed down.
After a long time, she asked with difficulty: "What do you want me to do?"
Done!
Sure enough, just like the history she knew, Xu Zhen still chose the latter when faced with her boyfriend and national justice!
Wait.
Meng Shaoyuan suddenly thought of a question.
The one-armed thief was a spy planted by Wang Jingwei. After he was captured, Xu Zhen was about to leave Chongqing and go abroad. Unfortunately, on her way to the airport, she was killed by Wang Jingwei's secret agent.
The man in charge of the assassination mission was Ren Daowu, Wang Jingwei's official henchman.
Now that Ren Daowu has been killed by his father, will Xu Zhen still die?
If Xu Zhen can survive, will history be changed again?
What consequences will occur?
Will the things you are familiar with change?
Will the butterfly effect appear again?
Meng Shaoyuan was a little confused.
He calmed down: "From now on, just pretend that nothing has happened. When you go to Lu Wupeng's place tomorrow, you must remain completely calm. Just like usual, anything wrong will be noticed by Lu Wupeng."
"I know, I know." Xu Zhen murmured.
Meng Shaoyuan stood up: "You have to remember, you will become a national hero! You lost your boyfriend, but you saved Chongqing and your lovely and suffering country!"
