"Mr. Meng, this is the second batch of medicinal materials."

To be honest, the person Kawamoto Kojiro didn't want to see the most was Meng Shaoyuan.

Every time I'm with him, I always feel like I'm being oppressed by him.

However, the heavy burden of rescuing Tokugawa Honda fell on him.

No matter how unhappy you are, you must persist.

Although the Japanese army had the overall upper hand on the Shanghai battlefield, there was only one person who had the upper hand here:

Meng Shaoyuan!

Meng Shaoyuan came alone again.

It seems that he really runs the public settlement and has the final say in everything.

That time, several Japanese agents were taken to the patrol room and stayed there for a full day and night before being released. One of them was even beaten.

However, the patrol office refused to admit it, believing that this was an unfair accusation and slandering the professional ethics of the patrol office.

Okay, okay, be patient.

When the Ministry of Industry and Commerce announces the candidate for the new Commissioner of Police, all passive situations will be reversed.

"Mr. Meng, how is Mr. Tokugawa's condition?"

"He? He's okay. He probably won't die."

good?

Kawamoto Kojiro smiled bitterly: "Mr. Meng, this is the second batch of medicines we have shipped. There are four batches in total. The remaining two batches will arrive soon. Can you return Tokugawa Honda to us first? I

I promise that the remaining medicines will be delivered to you on time."

"I don't believe you, let alone Japan." Unexpectedly, Meng Shaoyuan flatly refused: "I must see the last tube of medicine delivered to my hand before I will hand over Tokugawa Honda to you."

Um?

A more complicated look flashed in Kawamoto Kojiro's eyes?

It seems that Kawamoto Kojiro has mixed emotions: "Well, in this case, I won't force you, but I can at least make a request, let me see Tokugawa Honda with my own eyes to prove that he is still alive. Mr. Meng, you can't

Constantly asking us to pay, but not letting us know anything? Your Excellency the Prince is very worried about Tokugawa Honda. I see that Tokugawa is safe and sound, so I can also report to him that he is safe and let him deliver the medicine to you faster.

inside."

When he said these words, he waved his hands several times, but each time the back of his hand faced outward and the palm faced inward.

This is a classic defensive protective move.

It usually occurs when you are telling a lie and trying your best to make the other person believe what you are saying.

What lies is Kojiro Kawamoto talking about?

What's his plan?

Find the place where Tokugawa Honda is hidden, and then launch a strong attack?

Won't.

This will cause a conflict with the military, which is something that the concession will never allow.

Besides, Meng Shaoyuan was well-armed, so even if the opponent attacked by force, they wouldn't be able to take any advantage.

Meng Shaoyuan couldn't figure out what the other party was planning there.

However, to be honest, Kawamoto Kojiro's request is not excessive at all.

Two batches of medicines have been delivered, but the situation of Tokugawa Honda depends entirely on Meng Shaoyuan's words.

Anyone would be confused?

Seemingly sensing Meng Shaoyuan's hesitation, Kawamoto Kojiro hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Mr. Meng, I will go alone. If you are worried about anything, you can blindfold me."

"There's no need." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "I won't be so stingy, and I won't be afraid of anything. And if you really want to know where Tokugawa Honda is hidden, you can send someone to follow me."

"So, you agreed?"

"Promise, why don't you agree?" Meng Shaoyuan smiled and didn't care at all: "I will personally take you there, personally send you out, and personally wait for you to save Tokugawa Honda."

Once people's curiosity is aroused, it's terrible.

Especially people like Meng Shaoyuan who only think it's okay and don't think it's a big deal.

…

Kawamoto Kojiro never imagined that the place where Meng Shaoyuan hid Tokugawa Honda was actually on Hankou Road.

Hankou Road was named by foreigners. Shanghainese refused to accept this name and called Hankou Road "Three Horse Roads".

The Shanghai Public Settlement Bureau of Industry and Commerce occupies part of Hankou Road.

"No wonder you're not worried about me." Kawamoto Kojiro smiled bitterly: "This place relies on the Ministry of Industry Bureau. If we want to take Tokugawa back by force, the patrols will appear in less than two minutes."

This is why Meng Shaoyuan cares so much about the Italian Police Department.

He chose the junction of Hankou Road and Jiangxi Road, which was originally a company run by a British, as his warehouse.

Not only is Tokugawa Honda hidden here, but there are also many medicines, weapons, and ammunition.

Once any incident occurs, patrols will be dispatched quickly to form the first line of defense.

Under normal circumstances, patrols can solve most problems.

If an emergency occurs, there are three lines of defense in the warehouse.

The most important thing is that few people are willing to cause trouble near the Ministry of Industry Bureau building.

As long as the police chief is one of our own, this warehouse will be impregnable!

Therefore, Meng Shaoyuan must keep Sinclair's position no matter what.

After getting off the car, two police officers who were walking back and forth nearby came over and said with attentive faces: "Boss Meng."

"Thank you for your hard work." Meng Shaoyuan gave them the two cigarettes he carried: "Take them and smoke them."

"Ouch, Boss Meng, this is not fun, this is not fun."

"Take it, you're welcome."

"Thank you, Boss Meng, thank you, Boss Meng."

Seeing the two patrolmen happily holding cigarettes and walking aside, Kawamoto Kojiro felt helpless: "No wonder you can be so unscrupulous in Shanghai."

"You're welcome, come on, follow me, be careful not to get accidentally hurt."

As soon as you walk into the first floor, you are greeted by two machine guns behind a pile of sacks.

Kawamoto Kojiro took a breath of air.

Good guy, Meng Shaoyuan turned this place into a battlefield.

There are six agents on the first floor.

Seeing Meng Shaoyuan come in, no one greeted him. Instead, they performed their duties and monitored every move outside through the window.

All are carefully trained.

Kojiro Kawamoto can confirm this.

Going up to the second floor, there was another machine gun at the top of the stairs.

On the third floor, in addition to machine guns, there are two more agents carrying submachine guns.

And there is an iron door on the third floor that can be closed at any time.

This is simply another four-row warehouse.

This is probably the reason why Meng Shao was so confident.

No one said a word to Meng Shaoyuan during the whole process.

"They don't seem to respect you particularly?" Kawamoto Kojiro suddenly said: "You are their commander. According to the rules of the Japanese army, subordinates must salute their superiors when they see them."

"We are not an army." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "I gave them this order. When performing tasks, they do not have to salute and say hello to anyone."

"You are very strange."

Kawamoto Kojiro said this.

Really, Meng Shaoyuan is a very strange person. If there is a chance, Kawamoto Kojiro would like to sit down face to face with him and have a good chat.

It's a pity that Meng Shaoyuan probably wouldn't give himself this opportunity, right?

Meng Shaoyuan pointed to a room on the third floor: "The Tokugawa Honda you want to see is in there, go in."

Kawamoto Kojiro discovered a question: "Are there no guards outside?"

"Guard?" Meng Shaoyuan shook his head: "Why should I guard?"

Kawamoto Kojiro pushed the door open and walked in, then closed the door smoothly.

He finally saw Tokugawa Honda.

The gauze on his body has been partially removed, and he looks pretty good.

"Who are you?" Tokugawa Honda asked in Chinese.

The voice is still a little weak.

"Tokugawa-kun, I am Kawamoto Kojiro, responsible for your rescue work."

"Yeah?"

"Ah, don't move, just lie here." Kawamoto Kojiro looked around and found that there were no stools around.

"Sit down next to me." Tokugawa Honda sighed: "The Chinese are worried that I will commit suicide, so things like stools will not appear here."

Sure enough, the room was empty.

"Tokugawa-kun, you have suffered." Kawamoto Kojiro said, "Did the Chinese abuse you?"

"No, they treat me... pretty well."

Kawamoto Kojiro keenly discovered a problem:

Tokugawa Honda's answer was not so firm.

"Not bad" means accepting the care given to him by the Chinese.

Kojiro Kawamoto studied psychology in the United States. If he hadn't met Meng Shaoyuan and suffered a heavy blow to his confidence, he would have been a very good psychology expert.

Tokugawa Honda did not notice anything strange about the other party: "At first, when the Chinese people captured me, I always thought about committing suicide to repay His Majesty the Emperor, but under the close guard of the Chinese people, I couldn't do it. So I couldn't do it.

I thought, since I can't die, why can't I keep my life and continue to serve His Majesty the Emperor?"

No, no, he didn't want to die.

Kojiro Kawamoto can be sure of this.

Tokugawa Honda was a nobleman. He grew up in fine clothing and had no hardships. He was willing to stay in the army and go to dangerous battlefields because it was the heroism in the hearts of young people that motivated him.

What is certain is that Tokugawa Honda must have thought about committing suicide when he first became a prisoner. However, as time goes by, his determination to die will gradually fade away.

"Tokugawa-kun, let me make a guess." Kawamoto Kojiro asked tentatively: "The Chinese people helped you treat your injuries very carefully, and then gave you food. Most of them were the Japanese food you are used to eating?"

"Yes, how come you even know what I'm eating?"

Kawamoto Kojiro sighed.

How do you know?

Because I once used a similar method on a Chinese agent, and finally succeeded in getting him to speak.

The Chinese are nothing more than treating others with their own body.

Tokugawa Honda's attitude has completely softened.

He is no longer a determined warrior.

He wants to live, and live for a long, long time.

suicide?

Will not.

This is also the reason why Meng Shaoyuan was so bold and did not use guards.

First, the place was heavily guarded, and Tokugawa Honda could not escape at all.
