Meng Shaoyuan has always been a very calm person.

No matter what happened, he always told himself to stay calm.

Even if he goes to Shanghai to avenge Mu Dekai this time, he must have the most perfect plan.

You must not bring any trouble to yourself or to the two offices.

The three newcomers he brought stayed in Nanjing.

They were handed over to a man named Fang Chunqian from the Second Squadron to familiarize themselves with the environment of the Second Division and teach them some basic knowledge of special agents.

After all, if they hadn't come here, they would have become the police.

Tian Qi has already gone to Shanghai in advance.

Zhu Yanni, Yuan Zhonghe, Xiang Shounong, plus a newly joined former factory technician and current trainee spy Zhao Changle.

In order to deal with the gold robbers, the two cars stolen from Shanghai were the same as the weapons seized. They were never able to get rid of them because they were worried about being exposed.

It just came in handy this time.

Along the way, the people in both cars were silent.

Meng Shaoyuan was also worried.

How long has it been?

Liu Huanwen is dead, Mu Dekai is dead.

In a few years, if you don't die, how many familiar faces will be left in the team?

A more brutal battle is yet to come.

"Captain... no, team leader, what's in the two big bags you brought?" Zhu Yanni was the first to break the silence in the car.

"I asked Crete to prepare it for me."

Meng Shaoyuan looked at the car and stared ahead.

With just such a word, the atmosphere in the car fell silent again.

The death of Lao Mu still brought some harm to this team.

Nanjing is not far from Shanghai.

The two cars soon drove into Shanghai.

Shanghai at the end of November is already a bit chilly.

Except that the temperature has dropped significantly compared to last time, Shanghai is still the same colorful world.

People who are struggling to make a living are still struggling to feed their families.

The celebrities in the upper class are still intoxicated every day.

There was no way to get help from my colleagues at Shanghai Station this time.

Even his classmate Chen Rongyang was not notified.

The fewer people who know about this, the better.

Tian Qi, who came to Shanghai in advance to prepare, received them and arranged the group of people in an inconspicuous hotel.

The name is quite loud:

“Shanghai Universal Hotel.”

In fact, it is a three-story building.

There is no restaurant, no modern elevator, and the rooms are very small to save space.

There is only one public bathroom on each floor.

You have to go to the "Tiger Stove" on the first floor to get hot water.

The tiger stove was no longer visible after Meng Shaoyuan was born.

But until the 1970s and 1980s, it was still popular in Shanghai, Jiangsu and other places.

The so-called "tiger stove" is specially designed to provide hot water to nearby residents.

It built a big stove in the house, with three or four water boiling pots installed. There was a feeding hole in the middle. The water boss used a long-handled water spoon and a funnel to put the hot water bottle into the mouth to pour boiling water.

Where did this name come from?

People in Shanghai say it’s because the watermen who help Laohuzao dive are as fierce as tigers, people in Jiangsu say it’s because they look like tigers, and some people say it comes from Pidgin English.

How exactly that will happen is unknown.

But even in the big city of Shanghai, Laohuzao can be seen in every few alleys, which has become a special landscape.

Although the conditions were a bit worse, Meng Shaoyuan and his party did not come here for enjoyment.

After settling in, Meng Shaoyuan asked Zhu Yanni and the others to rest in the hotel, and he and Tian Qi walked out together.

"The situation is very complicated. I originally wanted to arrest one of Yin Kesheng's disciples, but I was worried about being exposed, so I gave up the idea." Outside the hotel, Tian Qi looked around:

"Following your instructions, I went to Zhengjin Bank to take a look. In the bank, there were two guards and two secret guards. There were four or five Japanese ronin every day, almost all day long. They should also be used.

To protect the bank.

The guards carried short wooden sticks, and it was impossible to see whether the secret guards had weapons. There were several ronin, all carrying samurai swords. It is unclear whether Ishijima Shige was in the bank, after all, we don’t even have a photo of him."

This mission is very different from the previous ones. There is no assistance from colleagues, and there are not a single photo of the murderers.

Zhengjin Bank was opened on Tangen Road in the Shanghai Public Settlement.

This is a gathering area for Japanese overseas Chinese.

It's just a gathering place for Japanese overseas Chinese.

There has never been such a thing as a "Japanese Concession". Japan did not have a concession in Shanghai.

There are only five real Japanese concessions in China:

Tianjin, Hankou, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Chongqing.

In fact, the Wangjiatuori Concession in Chongqing was taken back by Liu Xiang’s military police in 1931.

The so-called "Japanese Concession" in Shanghai is just a popular name for the Japanese gathering areas and occupied areas in Hongkou and other places.

After the British and American Public Settlement was renamed the "Shanghai International Public Settlement", Japan's demand to participate in the management of the concession became even louder.

After 1915, seats were reserved for Japanese directors on the board of directors of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce. In 1916, the Patrol Room of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce in the Shanghai Public Concession set up a special Japanese arrest unit, and 30 Japanese patrol officers took over all public security affairs in the Japanese-gathering area.

.

This is roughly the situation.

"Team leader, we have no connections in Shanghai. Once the information is inaccurate, it will cause great trouble to the next operations." Tian Qi said after introducing the situation:

"So, according to your instructions, I went to find Mrs. Qiangwei, and took it upon myself to tell her all the purpose of our coming to Shanghai this time."

Anyway, since Cai Xuefei is asking for help, she will know the purpose of her trip sooner or later.

Meng Shaoyuan was not worried that Cai Xuefei would reveal it. Everyone had secrets in each other's hands: "What did Mrs. Qiangwei say?"

"She promised to help, but please make sure to go to her place after you arrive in Shanghai." Tian Qi smiled bitterly: "This woman is not simple."

"Why do you say that?"

"I proposed to purchase a batch of weapons in Shanghai, but she said that if we want to do something big in Shanghai, after the event is completed, we will definitely trace the source of the weapons and find us. There are only a few of the largest weapons smugglers in Shanghai.

International Bank. So she agreed to help us purchase weapons from Wuhan."

This woman is very thoughtful.

Meng Shaoyuan had also considered this concern before, but now Mrs. Qiangwei has helped to resolve it.

"I understand." Meng Shaoyuan checked the time: "Call Mrs. Qiangwei and tell her that if she is free, I will visit him at his house in an hour."

"Okay, I'll go now."

Meng Shaoyuan saw a pastry shop nearby. While Tian Qi was looking for the phone, he entered the pastry shop and asked the shopkeeper to help him choose some exquisite pastries, saying they were for distinguished guests.

After paying the money and carrying the pastries, Tian Qi came back after making a phone call: "It's done, Mrs. Qiangwei is waiting for you at her house."

"I have worked hard these past few days. I will discuss it carefully with Lao Yuan and the others. This time we must ensure that nothing goes wrong." Meng Shaoyuan nodded and stretched out his hand:
Chapter completed!
