"Although Kuai Xinyou is Chinese, he may not take you, the Japanese agency chief, seriously."
Meng Baifeng said slowly: "Everyone knows that Zimomen has your backing, but Kuai Xinyou didn't notice it at all. How do you say this? Shanghai Wu Sibao, Nanjing Kuai Xinyou, crab Walking sideways. Chief Matsumoto, it is rare for a traitor to be so arrogant."
There are four levels of traitors in China.
The lowest are the puppet soldiers, then the translators, then the spies who work for the Japanese, and the last one is the person with the highest status and great influence. The Japanese must show courtesy to such people. For example, Zhang Jinghui in Northeast China and Wang Jingwei in Nanjing.
Kuai Xinyou and Wu Sibao belong to the third category of spies with relatively high status. The Japanese need them to work for themselves, so they are generally very polite to them.
Meng Baifeng's words spoke to Matsumoto Jiro's heart.
Ever since he became the head of the Nanjing Agency, Kuai Xinyou's attitude towards him has always been lukewarm.
One time, Matsumoto Jiro was preparing to reorganize the secret service in Nanjing and invited Kuai Xinyou to a meeting, but Kuai Xinyou only sent one of his men to the meeting.
This also made Matsumoto Jiro very embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"Although I say that, after all, Kuai Xinyou has contributed to the Empire of Japan." Matsumoto Jiro said with a straight face: "You just killed Kuai Xinyou, and no one can help you."
"You can." Meng Baifeng said lightly.
"Mr. Meng, there is nothing I can do. I must report it truthfully."
"You must help me, Director Matsumoto, otherwise we will all be uncomfortable."
"Are you threatening me, Mr. Meng?"
"Yes, threatening you." Meng Baifeng actually said this.
"You are going too far, Mr. Meng. As an officer of the Empire of Japan, I will never be coerced by a Chinese."
Meng Baifeng slowly said three words:
"Surrender letter."
"What did you say?" Matsumoto Erlang's expression suddenly changed.
Meng Baifeng sighed: "You were arrested in Nanjing. In order to escape, you wrote a surrender letter, explaining in detail your identity, who you were appointed by, and how you stole the National Government's strategic defense blueprints. . This surrender letter is still in the military archives. Of course, by chance, I have a copy in my hand."
The most worrying and shameful thing was finally spoken out at this time.
When he was arrested in Nanjing, under Meng Shaoyuan's coercion, inducement and fraud, Matsumoto Jiro did write such a thing. Later, he was rescued and returned to Japan. He was always worried about this matter. However, Jiro Matsumoto gradually felt relieved after discovering that his stain had not been exposed.
Now, Meng Baifeng said it clearly.
"There's nothing surprising. I can get along well with the Central Military Commission and even the Chongqing National Government." Meng Baifeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've kept the copy very well. If necessary, I can help you get the original." , and then hand it over to you, so that no one will have any evidence to prove that you did this."
Speaking of this, Meng Baifeng seemed to remember something again: "By the way, the person who assisted you in escaping from prison was named Tian Qi. He is now the director of the Shanghai Intelligence Headquarters. He is your benefactor, and he happens to have a pretty good relationship with me. A Kuai Xinyou, who didn't take you seriously, will die as soon as he dies. Why do you insist on standing up for him? But if your past affairs are exposed and you return to the position of agency director after all the hard work, you will be dead again in the blink of an eye. Are you willing to lose?"
Kuai Xinyou is dead if he dies.
But this is my position!
Matsumoto Jiro was silent for a while: "Even if I am willing to help you, where is Captain Asakou? What will you do with him?"
"You don't need to worry about this." Meng Baifeng said nonchalantly: "He has a business relationship with Ren Yinghao. It happens that I have a good relationship with Boss Ren. As long as you pass this test, Captain Qiankou will naturally cooperate with you. Ah, It’s not called cooperation, it’s called telling the truth. What you and Captain Qianguchi told is the truth.”
"This matter is done, will you return the things to me?" Matsumoto Jiro asked specifically.
"Of course, if you help me, we will be friends." Meng Baifeng held his pipe in his mouth again: "How could I harm my friend?"
…
The assassination case of Kuai Xinyou was concluded after a "detailed and meticulous" investigation.
Kuai Xinyou and his subordinate Chen Hu kidnapped and killed Xiao Baochai of Zimomen, whose real name was Cao Xiuli. The methods are extremely cruel and the nature is extremely bad.
As Cao Xiuli's lover, Meng Baifeng lost control of his emotions during a quarrel with Kuai Xinyou, and the two fought. During the period, Kuai Xinyou pulled out a gun. During the fight, Meng Baifeng accidentally killed someone.
Because this involves a high-level scandal in Wang Jingwei's government, it is recommended to handle the matter in a low-key manner.
This is an investigation result jointly presented by the Japanese Military Police in Nanjing and the Japanese Secret Service in Nanjing.
At the same time, members of Wang Jingwei's regime also jointly wrote a letter of plea.
The content is roughly that Meng Baifeng is loyal, but he is a romantic man. He was confused for a moment and killed someone by mistake. The crime is inexcusable and the circumstances are excusable. It is recommended that he be dealt with lightly.
Among the signatures on this petition was Qian Dakui, the vice president of the "Central Reserve Bank" who had been threatened by Kuai Xinyou.
Kuai Xinyou never imagined that he had offended so many people. Even if he died, most people would sympathize with the murderer.
Wang Jingwei also personally had a phone call with senior Japanese officials, saying that something like this had happened just after the new government was established, and would be greatly exploited by the Chongqing government. In addition, Meng Baifeng was extremely talented, and the Judicial Yuan could not be left alone for a day, so he suggested It cannot be processed publicly and can be digested internally.
In the end, with the acquiescence of the Japanese, Meng Baifeng was given a major demerit and was fined half a year's salary as compensation for Kuai Xinyou.
Of course, Wang Jingwei still scolded Meng Baifeng severely, hoping that he would accept this lesson. Why bother for a woman?
Traitor.
When you were alive, your status was prominent and important, and even the Japanese greeted you with a smile.
But when you die, your use value is gone.
Have you ever seen a traitor that the Japanese would fight to the death for? They must avenge him?
Kuai Xinyou died like this, inexplicably.
The officers of the security section of the pseudo-Capital Police Department who witnessed the murder that day were also warned not to say anything they should not say.
Meng Baifeng seemed not satisfied with the result:
"With half a year's salary, how much rouge and gouache can I buy for those beautiful girls?"
…
Three years later.
"Sister Xiuli, are you still waiting for him? He won't come."
"It will come." The woman named "Xiuli" looked into the distance dreamily: "I know, he will definitely come, he promised me."
will come.
The most important man in her life will definitely come.
She is willing to wait here, even if she has to wait her whole life!
