"Are you mocking me and trying to anger me, Mr. Director?"
"No, I just want to tell the truth." Meng Shaoyuan smiled and shook his head: "I said you are a pitiful person, and I believe this even more now.
A loyal officer who has served your so-called empire for twenty years is still just a captain? You actually didn't even know who your commander was for such a long time. Is there anyone more pitiable than you?
Now, what can you do? You have become my prisoner, and no one will come to save you. The person who directs you behind the scenes can continue his life with peace of mind, because you know nothing. "
Masaki's face was a little distorted.
Meng Shaoyuan's words pierced his heart deeply.
But he was powerless to defend himself.
For Meng Shaoyuan, his goal has been achieved. .
It is almost impossible to continue to obtain more information from Masaki Zhimi in a short period of time.
But today's conversation is enough for him to know what his goal is in the next stage!
Before Masaki was taken away, he only made one request:
"Mr. Meng, please, can you stop playing the violin in the future? What you play is really unpleasant."
Holy shit!
This is the humiliation of Chi Guoguo!
…
When Wu Jingyi came in, she saw Meng Shaoyuan writing all kinds of names on a whiteboard.
The ashtray beside him was already filled with cigarette butts.
"Kurajima Suke, Ariike Gongping, Masaki Zhijian, Xiaoshan Mitsuru..."
There are also some names that Wu Jingyi has never seen before.
Each name is connected with a mess of black lines.
"who is he?"
Meng Shaoyuan looked at these names and murmured to himself.
"who?"
Wu Jingyi asked.
"This guy, I don't know who he is."
Meng Shaoyuan said in a daze: "He is invisible."
"Invisible?"
"Yes, invisible, invisible."
Meng Shaoyuan lit another cigarette: "He is the leader of all lurking groups, but he is invisible. No one has seen him. But he is directing everything. He lives in Chongqing like a ghost. He There is no difference from any ordinary person.
If I can't find this person, I won't be able to sleep peacefully. who is he? "
who is he?
A real ghost?
The phone on the desk rang.
Wu Jingyi picked up: "Yes, I understand, I will ask him to come immediately."
Put down the phone: "Director Dai wants you to go there immediately."
…
In Dai Li's office, Meng Shaoyuan actually met the eldest lady Kong Lingyi.
As soon as he saw the eldest lady, Meng Shaoyuan, he trembled and said, "Miss, there is no need to chase me all the way to Mr. Dai."
The eldest lady said calmly: "I'm not here to trouble you today, I'm here to ask you to do something."
"Ah, are you asking me to do something? Does your eldest lady have anything else to do?"
"Be more serious."
Dai Li scolded in a low voice.
"It's okay, he just has this temper." The eldest lady knows this scoundrel's character very well: "I have encountered a difficult problem, and you are the only one who can solve it."
Meng Shaoyuan scratched his head: "Miss, let me tell you from the bottom of my heart, what else can't you do, Miss? If you come to me, I'm afraid this matter won't be trivial."
"I have two good friends who are husband and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Baker."
The eldest lady said slowly: "They are all journalists. After the outbreak of the Pacific War, a large number of Americans in Shanghai were detained, and some US military prisoners were also transferred to Shanghai.
Mr. Baker was once a military reporter. In order to track down first-hand information, he ventured to Shanghai, but was soon detained by the Japanese. The charge was that he had been in the army and was now a prisoner of war.
In order to rescue her husband, Mrs. Baker and I then went to Shanghai to try to rescue her. However, not long after, she also fell into the hands of the Japanese and was detained along with the belongings she had brought with her to rescue her husband. "
Meng Shaoyuan couldn't help but muttered: "Isn't this Calabash Baby saving grandpa?"
"What? What gourd?"
"Ah, my hometown dialect." Meng Shaoyuan said covertly.
"I have tried many methods, but to no avail. Meng Shaoyuan, you are the famous King of Shanghai, and now you are also the director of the Supervision Office of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. The only one who can save Mr. and Mrs. Baker, after much thought, is you."
The eldest lady said in a low tone: "I know, this task is too difficult, and it is not your military commander's responsibility. You have complete understanding and refusal. If you are unwilling, I will find another way."
Meng Shaoyuan gave a wry smile.
The eldest lady has grasped her own weakness.
If she had told him to go with a commanding tone, he would not have gone.
There are plenty of excuses.
But is she begging herself?
She knows that she is a soft-spoken person.
Besides, from Nanjing to Shanghai, and then from Shanghai to Chongqing, the eldest lady has done a lot to help her.
There is no way I can refuse.
Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "Miss, tell me the truth, what are the identities of Mr. and Mrs. Baker?"
"I told you, reporter."
"Miss, if you are still hiding it like this, I can't help you." Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said: "A reporter has been detained. All he needs to do is spend some money to rescue him. The virtues of the Japanese in Shanghai are beyond me. You know, there’s no need to be in such a difficult situation.
Besides, your eldest lady just said that you have tried every means. Who are you, young lady? The methods you have thought of and the connections you have used are probably astounding, right?
You can't save Tongtian's relationship, so you want me, a little spy, to come to the rescue? I'm afraid the true identity of this couple is not simple, right? "
"Miss, I said I can't hide it from him." Dai Li said, "It's better to tell him. If he doesn't know the real situation, he won't even move if I whip him with a belt."
The eldest lady was silent for a moment: "Mr. Cronin Baker's father is Pullman Baker, a U.S. Senator. His wife, Stephanie Baker, was born in the Arthur family."
"MacArthur?"
"It's not that Arthur, he's from the Republican Party. The Chester Allen Arthur of this family. After Garfield, the 20th President of the United States, was assassinated in 1880, Mr. Arthur succeeded him as Vice President. position, he was also the founder of the modern U.S. Navy."
"Save, we must save!"
As soon as the eldest lady finished the introduction, Meng Shaoyuan couldn't wait to say: "China and the United States are allies. If the allies are in trouble, it's me, Meng Shaoyuan, who is in trouble. I will definitely go to save it!"
Um?
I thought it would be a waste of words.
Agree so quickly?
Of course Meng Shaoyuan has his own plan:
"Save, we must save, but please give me three days."
"Meng Shaoyuan, what do you want to do in three days?"
"Mr. Dai, in three days, I want to find a ghost in the vast sea of people!"
