In the past, it only took one sentence to have a meeting with Shenghe.
But now?
Holding a meeting is like connecting with a secret agent.
The location is still at Ding Kee Restaurant.
Pai Gu Ding is a man with broad paths, wide friends and good eyesight.
It was a perfect fit to send him on this job.
One after another, Hesheng and the steward entered the restaurant.
As soon as I entered, I was immediately put to the back by Pai Gu Ding.
What's even more outrageous is that in the restaurant, there are actually three police officers eating there.
This was all invited by Pai Gu Ding.
After the fall of Hong Kong, the original police force was insufficient because the Japanese army was busy with the Pacific War, so many of them were retained by the Japanese.
These Hong Kong policemen are like monks ringing the bell every day.
Their wages were meager, and all their original wealth fell into the hands of the Japanese.
They used to have no worries about food and clothing, but now they have to worry about their livelihood.
Local people like Pai Gu Ding, who still treated them with filial piety as in the past, were naturally liked by the police.
The three policemen knew that today was a meeting with Shenghe, and they were here to protect him.
When the British governed Hong Kong in the past, these policemen were often invited by the triads to protect the venue, and they would receive a big red envelope after the event.
Now it's nothing more than the British running away and the Japanese coming.
What the police should do is what they should do.
It's such a mess, if you don't get a few bucks, are you waiting for your wife and children to starve to death?
Someone familiar with He Sheng and the manager came in and nodded to them.
Just then, a man in a suit walked in.
The three policemen stood up quickly: "Inspector Su."
Detective Su spoke fluent Cantonese: "Ah, you continue, you continue."
Detective Su was well-known as a good guy in the police station, and he always smiled when he saw him.
Even his immediate boss in Japan later liked him and asked him to handle many things.
"Detective Su, can we have a drink together?"
"No, no, there's still something else to do." Inspector Su waved his hand: "Are you going to have a meeting with Shenghe today?"
"yes."
"No wonder so many people are coming in and out."
Inspector Su suddenly understood, and then gave a kind reminder: "Keep an eye on it, don't let the Japanese come in. Okay, you drink, you drink, I'll go do some work."
Detective Su staggered out.
When I got outside, I took out my cigarette and was about to light it when a voice suddenly came from behind me:
"Inspector Li."
Detective Su trembled all over.
He is Inspector Su, but now, someone actually calls him "Inspector Li"!
However, when he heard this title, he was a little panicked.
He slowly turned around, and when he saw the person clearly, his whole body suddenly relaxed:
"Captain Li, you, why did you come to Hong Kong!"
This person is so familiar to him!
"King of Shanghai" Meng Shaoyuan's guard captain, Li Zhifeng!
Li Zhifeng showed no expression on his face and pointed to the alley beside him.
Detective Su nodded and immediately walked into the alley.
Then, when he saw the familiar person in the alley, his eyes became wet for a moment:
"Boss Meng!"
The King of Shanghai, Pan Tianhu, Meng Shaoyuan!
Meng Shaoyuan smiled slightly: "Inspector Li, who are you now?"
"Inspector of Causeway Bay, Su Kailun."
"Then Inspector Li is dead, and you are Su Kailun. How are your wife and children?"
"Okay, okay." Su Kailun finally calmed down.
He never dreamed that he would meet Boss Meng here: "Boss Meng, if you hadn't sent our family to Hong Kong and offered me a job as a detective, I'd probably be in the Japanese Military Police in Shanghai now. Headquarters."
"No need to thank me. When you were a detective in Shanghai, you did a lot of good things for us. We will never treat our friends badly."
In Meng Shaoyuan's heart, Inspector Li from Shanghai is dead. What he sees now is Inspector Su Kailun from Hong Kong:
"Only I know your past identity, and no one will mention it again. How are you, are you still adapting to life in Hong Kong?"
"It's not much different from Shanghai." Su Kailun said something in Cantonese: "Look, I even learned Cantonese. My wife and children are no different from ordinary Hong Kong people now."
"That's good. Now that Hong Kong has fallen, your life will probably not be easy either."
Just after Meng Shaoyuan finished speaking, Su Kailun said: "I'm okay. I behave well in front of the Japanese. My Japanese boss trusts me and lets me do many things."
At this point, something seemed to come to mind: "Boss Meng, don't worry, my heart has not changed!"
My heart has not changed!
Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "I know whether your heart has changed. If your heart has changed, this is still Shanghai!"
Here, it’s still Shanghai!
Of course Su Kailun knew what this meant.
In Shanghai, there is a bloody storm, killing every ten steps!
Which traitor did Boss Meng let go?
Su Kailun said solemnly: "Boss Meng, give the order, there is anything you need me to do."
Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "I'm here to help you get promoted and make a fortune."
"What?" Su Kailun wondered if he heard wrongly.
"Otherwise, what else can you do if you get promoted and make a fortune?" Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Follow me and work, not only will you lose your head, but you will also get promoted and make a fortune without delay.
When I come to Hong Kong this time, I do need your help with something. Not only do I need to handle this matter, but I also need to make the Japanese trust you more. It's too unfair for you to be a detective. "
Su Kailun was confused when he heard this.
But he knows one thing very well, if Boss Meng asks you to do something, you will never suffer a loss.
“How is my Cantonese?”
Meng Shaoyuan suddenly said a Cantonese sentence.
Su Kailun said seriously: "It's very blunt, and it sounds like someone from another province."
"Well, I just studied all night."
"That's incredible. I don't know how much effort I put into learning Cantonese."
Meng Shaoyuan is really serious about learning Cantonese. He has some talent in language. Although what he says is nondescript, it is really good that he can barely say it in one night:
"I'm going to talk to you in Cantonese now. If something is wrong, please point it out."
"You don't look like me at all."
Meng Shaoyuan was not embarrassed and said in Cantonese, which is difficult for Cantonese people to understand: "I am here to rescue two people."
"Mr. and Mrs. Richardson?"
"yes."
Su Kailun suddenly looked embarrassed: "Boss Meng, rescuing them is not easy. Your people have tried before, but failed. The Japanese guarded them too tightly."
"I know, so I need your help with some things." Meng Shaoyuan did not deny it: "They are imprisoned in Causeway Bay, and you are the detective of Causeway Bay. There are some things that are most appropriate for you to come forward.
Follow my instructions and I guarantee you'll be fine, but you may be called a traitor. "
"It's okay, as long as I have a clear conscience. Boss Meng, let's do the mission."
"Okay, but from now on, I am Boss Li Dafeng!"
