"There is a certain kind of person who is a dead soldier. There are such people among the Japanese and we also have them here."
As soon as he went out, Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "The purpose of their lives is to die. From the day they become dead soldiers, they are waiting all the time."
"Isn't this too cruel?"
Kong Lingyi couldn't help but said: "After all, they are all living things."
"Cruel? Miss, do you know what cruelty is?" Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "I am sick all over my body, living a life of poverty and illness, with no hope of getting ahead. When I get home every day, I worry about where is today's dinner? , This is cruel. When the child is sick and has no money to see a doctor, he can only hold each other and cry. This is cruel.
Lao Liang has been poor for most of his life and has never recovered from his lung disease. If I had let it go, I would not have known that I had such a small person under my command. I needed to find a dead man, so my men helped me find Lao Liang and took him to the hospital to check that he wouldn't live long. If I hadn't needed someone, he would have died quietly. This kind of non-staff person wouldn't even have funeral expenses. "
"Why?" Kong Lingyi asked: "As far as I know, the Ministry of Finance allocates funds to you every year, and your people will receive pensions for their sacrifices."
"Let's not talk about whether the money allocated to us by the Ministry of Finance is enough." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "The pension is for the officially registered agents of the Military Command Bureau. There are tens of millions of non-staff personnel, and they can't get their turn no matter what. I After becoming the director of the Special Office, a special fund was set up, and non-staff personnel also enjoy the official special agent treatment. The problem is that we simply cannot take care of so many non-staff personnel. Some non-staff personnel died today, and we may not wait until half a year later. Know.
It is said that I, Meng Shaoyuan, have the power to make all the changes in Shanghai, but there are many things that I am also powerless to do. For example, Liang Heen, how did I know about his existence before? When I was talking to him, I told him about the mission and promised to give him 30,000 silver dollars. Do you know what he did? He kowtowed to me three times on the spot, and I still remember it clearly. "
Meng Shaoyuan really remembered it very clearly.
Liang Heren kowtowed and said: "District Chief Meng, I knew I wouldn't live long. If you can give me such a large sum of money to give my wife and children something to look forward to, you are the great benefactor of my Liang family."
"There are two types of dead soldiers." Meng Shaoyuan said in a daze: "One type is those who have firm ideals and beliefs and devote themselves without hesitation to the doctrine they believe in. I have seen many such people. There is also a type of person, It is a person like Lao Liang who knows that he cannot live anymore, but he does not hesitate to make a better life for his family. This kind of person may not be a real hero in the eyes of many people, but in the eyes of his wife and children He is a hero in his eyes!”
While in Nanjing, Meng Shaoyuan helped Kong Lingyi open up a strange world.
In Shanghai, he helped Kong Lingyi open another world that he had never imagined.
"District Chief Meng." Gao Fanyi couldn't help but ask, "What does this Liang He'en do?"
"He helps people pour night fragrance."
"Pouring night fragrance?"
"I help people empty toilets every day."
Gao Fanyi was stunned: "What use can such a person be put to?"
"Brother Gao, sometimes little people can be used in ways you can't even imagine!"
…
Zhai Caicai sat there, smoking one cigarette after another.
"Mr. Zhai, we already know your name, and it will be much easier to chat now." Koichi Hahara smiled: "This casino belongs to the boss Ji Yunqing Ji, and this is his goddaughter Ms. She Aizhen. As for me, I am a reporter from the Patriotic Daily, you can call me Mr. Yu."
"Mr. Yu, tell me what you want from me."
"Mr. Zhai, this is your fault." Hanbara Koichi smiled: "You owe a lot of money here, and you always have to pay back the money you owe, are you right?"
Zhai Caicai hurriedly said: "Mr. Yu, of course I have to pay back the money I owe, but I don't have that much money in my hand right now. Can you please wait a little longer? I promise to pay it back."
"No?" Hanbara Koichi said without hesitation: "There have never been such rules in casinos. Look, Mr. Yu, we already know your identity. You are Miss Kong Lingyi's bodyguard, right?"
Zhai Caicai was shocked.
Before he could deny it, Hanbara Koichi said casually: "Don't deny it, Mr. Zhai, I don't have any ill intentions. I said I was a reporter and I just wanted to interview some inside information. For example, Miss Kong Lingyi's Her whereabouts, when and where she will go, when she will meet whom, these are important first-hand information for news."
This person is not a reporter!
Zhai Caicai is very sure.
"Mr. Zhai, are you willing to cooperate with me? If you can tell me this information as soon as possible, your debt in the casino will be wiped off."
"No, no!" Zhai Caicai shook his head: "I don't know Kong Lingyi, and I have no way to provide you with this information."
She Aizhen frowned and was about to get angry, but Koichi Hahara stopped her: "This is your choice. However, I will make your incident in the casino public and say that you agree to cooperate with Ji Yunqing to help the Japanese." Effective."
"You're talking nonsense!"
"I'm talking nonsense!" Koichi Hahara was still smiling: "But do you think many people will believe the quality of a gambler? So many people see you gambling in the Bora Club, and this happens to be Ji Yunqing The casino. Ah, I will have someone take you out in a while. They will be very polite and respectful to you, and will prepare a car specially for you. Of course, it is a coincidence that someone happened to take these photos, and then they will appear in the casino tomorrow. On the table in the military commander's office.
I have to admit that there are many flaws in this plan. Meng Shaoyuan, the head of the Shanghai District under military reunification, will not choose to believe it completely. However, in order to ensure the safety of Miss Kong Lingyi, what do you think he will do? "
Sweat oozed from Zhai Caicai's forehead.
Hikaru Hahara stretched out his hands one by one, and She Aizhen immediately gave him a thick stack of money. Han Yuanguang pushed the money in front of Zhai Caicai:
"I don't need you to do anything detrimental to Miss Kong Lingyi. I just need you to provide me with her whereabouts and tell me what happened in the past few days. I am a reporter, right? I am not Japanese. Intelligence officers.”
You are a Japanese intelligence agent!
Zhai Caicai couldn't be clearer.
But he is a gambler and is in a desperate situation. People in this situation often make one choice:
Believe the lie!
Even if you know it's a lie.
Only in this way can he convince himself to accept something that he is not willing to accept at all!
Zhai Caicai's hand slowly reached out to the stack of money.
Hahara Koichi smiled with satisfaction.
