The morning meeting was mainly to inform the cadres at various department levels about the situation in Xi'an, and once again emphasized the need to strengthen the security of Nanjing.

Back in the office, Meng Shaoyuan changed out of his Chinese tunic suit and put on a black suit, a black woolen coat and a black top hat.

He checked the Browning pistol and put it in its holster.

"Team Leader Meng." As soon as he went out, he met Zhu Yanni. He looked Meng Shaoyuan up and down: "Where are you going to dress up so well?"

"Let's go on a blind date."

"I bother."

Zhu Yanni spat at Meng Shaoyuan's back: "I asked you to go on a blind date, and the person you met was old, ugly, and sick!"

…

After Zhu Yanni got rich, she rented a small courtyard in Nanjing. It was a private house and was very clean. Later, Lin Xuan came and lived here.

After Shimamoto Narumi was caught, he was detained in a small hotel and monitored by Guo Rui and Ji Shuang.

Because Xia Wen was a woman, she was temporarily placed with Zhu Yanni, and she and Lin Xuan took turns monitoring her. Tian Qi and the others would also come over to take a look.

When Meng Shaoyuan entered, the first thing he saw was Xia Wen looking at the pots of flowers in the yard.

"How is it?" Meng Shaoyuan called Lin Xuan over and asked in a low voice.

"Very honest." Lin Xuan also replied in a low voice: "I behave myself every day. After dinner, I read in the yard and enjoy the flowers."

"What about the test for you?"

"It was a test. That day, I deliberately wanted to go out because of something urgent, and then I ambushed nearby with Tian Qi. But for most of the day, Xia Wen didn't even take a step out of the door and didn't want to escape at all."

Meng Shaoyuan nodded and came to Xia Wen: "Miss Xia."

"Team Leader Meng." Xia Wen stood up and smiled quietly.

"How's it going? Are you getting used to living here?"

"The place we live in is not bad, but the climate is not used to it. It's too cold." Xia Wen answered honestly: "Guangzhou is very warm at this time. I have no other intention. I am very grateful to Team Leader Meng for taking us in and letting us have a good time."

We don’t have to worry anymore.”

There is a lounge chair next to it, and a table with chrysanthemum tea and a book next to it.

This book, which Meng Shaoyuan helped to buy, was "Shanghai Spring and Autumn" written by Bao Tianxiao, one of the representatives of the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School.

Meng Shaoyuan was flipping through the pages and asked, "Have you read this book, Miss Xia?"

"I've finished reading it. The book recommended to me by Team Leader Meng is really good." Xia Wen said softly: "I didn't like to read this type of book before, but after reading it this time, I felt that a book called Shanghai Spring and Autumn covers ten miles of Shanghai."

The foreign market is full of extravagance and extravagance, but it is also riddled with holes... I never thought that people from the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School could write such profound books."

Meng Shaoyuan turned the book halfway, closed it, and put it back: "Ms. Xia lives here peacefully. If you need anything, just tell them. We will always help you if we can."

"Thank you, Team Leader Meng, for bothering me."

Lin Xuan sent Meng Shaoyuan to the door. Meng Shaoyuan stopped and said, "From now on, relax the surveillance on her. Don't worry, Xia Wen will never run away."

…

Meng Shaoyuan went out, got in the car, and went directly to Zuosuo Street, Pukou, Jiangbei District, Nanjing.

This has been Nanjing's most important market and water transport terminal since the Ming Dynasty.

By the time of the Republic of China, it had become the largest town in Nanjing.

And Zuosuo Street is its center.

There is a strong sense of history here.

Meng Shaoyuan parked the car and got out of the car.

When I came to a small stall selling salted duck eggs, I picked up a salted duck egg and smelled it: "Did you make this at home?"

"Yes, boss." The hawker quickly stood up with a smile on his face. Then he picked up two salted duck eggs and came closer: "Team Leader Meng, we have been monitoring so far. A total of eight groups of customers have gone in in two days, and they will come out soon.

, nothing unusual.”

"oh."

Meng Shaoyuan put down the salted duck eggs: "Get off work. You've been working hard here for two days. After you go back, go to Section Chief Feng to get ten yuan, have a good meal, and tell Section Chief Feng that I will sign when you get back."

"Thank you, Team Leader Meng. Thank you, Team Leader Meng."

Meng Shaoyuan ignored him and went straight to the opposite side.

"Qianye Co., Ltd."

There is a sign like this hanging on the door.

So forthright.

Anti-Japanese sentiment among Chinese people is rising. In Nanjing, the capital of China, a Japanese trading company dared to openly display such a sign. It was telling everyone that they were serious businessmen.

Meng Shaoyuan walked in.

He was just interested in this trading company.

Kiie Akihara is the person in charge of the Nanjing branch of Qianye Co., Ltd. From the previous investigation, there is no problem with this, but he is very cunning when doing business.

But in business, this is understandable.

But while in Shanghai, Sun Yonglan said that Qi Honghai and Akihara Kijie mentioned many times that they were members of Lixingshe, which still aroused Meng Shaoyuan's strong curiosity.

Just because a problem can't be found doesn't mean there really isn't a problem.

Meng Shaoyuan always reminded himself that he was a spy and an intelligence worker, and he must remain skeptical about everything.

"You have worked hard."

When a Japanese man in kimono saw the guest coming, he hurriedly greeted him and bowed: "I am Miyagi Fuka, the temporary person in charge here. How can I help you?"

His Chinese is a little stiff.

Meng Shaoyuan handed over his business card:

Meng Xiaoyuan, manager of Litong Company.

Ever since he used the pseudonym "Meng Xiaoyuan" in Shanghai, Meng Shaoyuan thought it was pretty good and it became his designated pseudonym.

"It turns out to be Manager Meng, please come in, please come in."

Miyagi Shen welcomed Meng Shaoyuan in and poured him tea: "Litong Company, it sounds familiar... I think about it, ah, I remembered it. There was a little accident at Henglong Company. Their boss Xu put the company and

Litong has merged, are you from this Litong company?"

"Mr. Miyagi is very well informed."

"Where, when we do business, we always need to know something about these things." Fuka Miyagi said very politely: "We have dealt with Boss Xu in the past. Boss Xu's business is mainly to help us solve some problems that the official can't solve.

Trouble. After his accident, we still have some regrets... Thinking that now Manager Meng is here in person, it is really an honor."

"Xu Deshan is gone, but business still needs to be done." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "How Xu Deshan did business with you in the past, I will do the same with you, and it will be more favorable."

"Okay, okay."

Miyagi Shen took the cigarette: "Manager Meng, please smoke."

Meng Shaoyuan was not polite and took out a cigarette. Miyagi Shen immediately took out a match and helped him light it diligently: "Doing business in Nanjing is the most difficult thing. Manager Meng is so young and can be in charge of Litong alone.

The company, dealing with various forces, is like a fish in water, I admire it, I admire it."

Meng Shaoyuan took a puff of cigarette: "What does it mean to deal with various forces? Which forces are they?"

"Mr. Meng is testing me." Miyagi said with a deep smile: "In Nanjing, if you want to do a good job like the Henglong Company before, what aspects should you not take care of? But Litong Company took over and started doing business better than before.

It's more smooth. That's because the backend is very strong. I heard that Lixingshe is behind it."

"You are very courageous." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "What do you mean by supporting Lixingshe? Do you mean that Lixingshe is openly smuggling? You are framed by government officials."

Fuka Miyagi was not panicked at all: "Business people will use a little conspiracy just to make money. But if you want to make more money, you need to make more friends. When making friends, you have to be honest.

, do you think this is the truth, Manager Meng?"

Frank?

Meng Shaoyuan became even more interested in this Japanese: "I heard that the person in charge here was Kie Akihara?"

"Yes, Mr. Akihara has returned to China due to physical discomfort. I will be in charge of this place for the time being."

"You are very smart and very honest, but unfortunately you are a bit too honest." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Why do I think you are not a simple businessman now?"

"I am a simple businessman, but Manager Meng is not a simple businessman."

"Why?"

"As I said just now, Litong Company has been going smoothly all the way, and there are people behind it. I must admit to you, I didn't hear about it, but I am sure that the person behind it must be Lixingshe. We businessmen, there are always some

Friends, there are some channels where we can find out."

Fuka Miyagi was really "frank" to the extreme: "Manager Meng can be in charge of Litong Company. I think you are probably also a member of Lixingshe, and you are also an important figure. Recently, the most prominent person in Lixingshe is named Meng Shaoyuan...

"

Having said this, he specifically glanced at "Meng Xiaoyuan".
