Make an appointment with MacFarlane on a time and place.
It's at Kangyuan Western Restaurant. Zhang Yong likes it very much.
Because the nearby buildings are very complex, they effectively block shots from 200 meters away. There is no need to worry about being plotted.
As long as there is no sniper rifle aimed at you, you will not die.
Because it was morning, there were not many customers in the Western restaurant. Zhang Yong directly reserved the restaurant.
Look at your watch.
It's eight o'clock sharp in the morning. MacFarlane hasn't come yet.
yawn.
Didn't get any sleep at all last night.
Previously, I was asked for excessive amounts by the Banshee Queen Catherine...
Close your eyes and rest your mind.
Suddenly, a red dot entered the edge of the map. It was marked.
I checked quietly and found out it was Hirobumi Noguchi.
Huh? This guy...
He seems to be entering the concession? What are he doing in the concession?
Sure enough, soon after, Noguchi Hirobumi entered the concession. Then he passed by the nearby streets.
Zhang Yong silently speculated: Is this guy going to Petain Road?
My mind moved and I decided to take action.
Leave the restaurant.
Simple makeup.
Then he quietly led people closer to Hirobumi Noguchi.
When the target was caught off guard, Chen Hai and others swarmed forward and held Noguchi Hirobumi firmly.
He was tied up, handcuffed, and blindfolded, but no rags were stuffed in his mouth.
"Who are you? What are you going to do? Let me go!"
"Noguchi-kun, calm down! We are the navy."
"Nani?"
Noguchi Hirobumi was stunned for a moment.
Is the other party a navy man? Or is he speaking Japanese?
Damn it!
How can it be?
How could the Navy...
Are all the rumors true?
Did the navy really come ashore? Just to take revenge?
The Navy suffered such huge losses during the February 26 Incident, so of course it was unwilling to let it go.
Now it is normal to send people ashore to directly deal with the army.
The problem is, he, Noguchi Hirobumi, is unlucky.
Caught by the navy. The consequences are unpredictable.
"What are you going to do?"
"Noguchi-kun, we don't mean to offend, let's have a nice chat."
"What on earth are you going to do?"
"Noguchi-kun, you are not on the list we want to clear. So, you don't need to be so nervous."
"What list?"
"Clear the list. There are seventy-nine people in total. They are all the backbone of your Army Red Deer. Including the big idiot Sugiyama Gen..."
"Nani?"
Noguchi Hirobumi was shocked.
What?
List of seventy-nine?
Even Mr. Sugiyama Gen is on the list?
crazy……
The Navy is absolutely crazy...
They actually want to eliminate His Excellency Sugiyama Moto. Is this okay?
Sugiyama Moto is the deputy chief of staff!
you……
"Snapped!"
Suddenly, I felt a burning pain in my cheek.
He suddenly woke up and realized that he had been beaten.
idiot……
Damn Navy Red Deer!
He actually slapped himself.
Noguchi Hirobumi was anxious and angry, but he did not dare to fight back and was unable to fight back.
The result of fighting back is to continue to be beaten.
He might be beaten to death directly.
The opponent is the Navy's Red Deer. It is the Army's biggest enemy. There is no other enemy.
"I am willing to cooperate." Noguchi Hirofumi quickly changed his tune.
"Yo Xi, are you going to No. 20 Beitang Road?" Zhang Yong asked coldly.
"yes……"
"What to do?"
"Get something."
"Telegram to me."
"Baga! Don't you have a radio yourself? Do you still need to go to Petain Road to get it?"
"My radio station was robbed by the Chinese..."
"Which Chinese?"
"That's Zhang, Zhang Yong..."
"Are you talking about that idiot Zhang Yong? The one who is greedy for money and lustful?"
"yes……"
"Baga! That Zhang Yong is a waste! What ability does he have..."
"No, no, no. Zhang Yong is definitely not a waste!"
"Baga! He is a waste!"
"you……"
Noguchi Hirobumi hesitated to speak. Finally he shut up.
Originally, he wanted to remind the other party that Zhang Yong was definitely not a waste. He was a very cruel opponent.
Although Zhang Yong appears to be harmless to humans and animals and has no power to catch chickens, he is actually very vicious.
Often you are arrested before you even react.
I was arrested and I don’t know what happened.
But my thoughts turned to me. Why did I remind Navy Red Deer?
The Navy and Red Deer are the enemies of the Army. Let them go to Zhang Yong and then be dealt with by Zhang Yong. It would be best.
Without being severely beaten by Zhang Yong, Navy Red Deer thought he was very powerful.
After landing, how dare you be so arrogant without a warship!
Sooner or later, Zhang Yong will teach you how to behave!
Pooh!
"What else is there at 20 Rue Petain?"
"Radio..."
"Besides radio, what else?"
"I don't know. I've only been there once. All I saw was the radio station..."
"Snapped!"
Noguchi Hirobumi received another slap.
Suddenly my face felt hot again. It hurt. It hurt.
idiot!
Damn Navy Red Deer!
Even more cruel than Zhang Yong!
Others like Zhang Yong only want money and don't hit people, right?
Woo woo woo...
so sad.
He would rather meet Zhang Yong than Navy Red Deer. Really...
"Search!"
Zhang Yong waved his hand.
Others immediately stepped forward and searched Noguchi Hirobumi's body.
As a result, nothing of value was found. No money. No information. It was basically a blank slate.
"Where is Date Munsuki?" Zhang Yong continued to ask in Japanese.
Fortunately, the other party has no money.
Otherwise, it will be difficult for him...
If the other party has money, should he take it or not?
If you don't take it, you won't be willing to part with it. If you take it, you will probably be suspected.
These spies are very smart, and maybe they can connect themselves with the Japanese navy through some details.
It's fine now. I don't have any money. No need to take it.
"who?"
"Haga! Let me ask you, where are Date Muneki, Shimazu Funaki, and Ririn Aogan."
"I don't know. Don't know. Really."
"Baga! You're lying! There's no way you don't know! You are the head of the Huai Agency!"
"I really don't know. Really. The headquarters of our Huai Agency was destroyed by Zhang Yong. Now the Huai Agency no longer exists. The Tan Agency has also lost contact..."
"Loss of contact? What do you mean?"
"It's the headquarters radio station of Tan Agency. It can no longer be contacted. It may have been destroyed. The military department is sending people to check."
"Baga! You trash! Idiots! Useless garbage!"
"Yes Yes Yes……"
"roll!"
"Yes Yes Yes……"
Hirobumi Noguchi ran away with his head in his arms.
Then I realized something was wrong.
I haven’t even taken off my handcuffs or ropes!
But he didn't dare to stop.
joke.
Run quickly.
If you are caught again, you will die.
"idiot!"
I heard cursing coming from behind.
Noguchi Hirobumi suddenly ran faster. He wished he had two more legs.
It wasn't until he got close to No. 20 Petain Road that he breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly recalled the names just now. Were they all wanted by the Navy Red Deer?
Lilin Qingyan is also on the list? He is at No. 20 Petain Road!
He hurried to No. 20 Petain Road, knocked on the door, and gave the contact code.
"Click!"
The mechanism is on.
Noguchi Hirobumi entered smoothly.
Someone came out from inside and nodded at him to express greetings.
"Kuribayashi-kun, there's a situation!"
Noguchi Hirobumi hurriedly told what happened on the road.
The Japanese in front of him was Kuribayashi Aoiyan.
It was he who remotely controlled the bombing in Jinling in Shanghai. For his own safety, he stayed far away from Jinling.
"What's up?"
"I was attacked by Navy Red Deer men."
"Nani?"
Li Lin Qingyan frowned.
Navy Red Deer? They actually attacked Hirobumi Noguchi?
These bastards!
How dare you attack the Army!
idiot!
They must be taught a lesson!
Don't think that because they have Marines stationed in Hongkou, they can be lawless.
The few people the Navy and Red Deer have on the shore are simply not enough for the Army to charge in a single charge.
Kuribayashi Aoiyan has an older brother named Kuribayashi Tadamichi, who is the captain of the cavalry brigade. The cavalry is an aristocratic branch of the army. It has a very sense of honor. Therefore, Kuribayashi Aoiyan hates the Navy Red Deer very much. He believes that the Navy Red Deer occupies too much military spending. The Army
The military expenditures received are pitiful. Otherwise, the army could form more cavalry. He is at least the captain of the cavalry group now.
idiot!
Damn Navy Red Deer!
We must find a way to kill them! Let them know how powerful they are!
The navy that came ashore is scum!
"Where are they?"
"at……"
Noguchi Hirobumi roughly describes the address.
He is not very familiar with the concession either.
"How many of them are there?"
"Not sure."
"Who's taking the lead?"
"Not sure."
"Baga! Then how on earth did you plan to become the Navy Red Deer?"
"They are the Navy Red Deer! They all speak with a Satsuma accent. I can't be mistaken. The person talking to me is definitely from the Satsuma Domain."
"Sigh..."
Li Lin Qingyan gradually calmed down.
Satsuma Domain?
What is the historical origin of the Navy Red Deer?
If it has the accent of the Satsuma clan, it means that it is not an ordinary navy red deer...
"By the way. They have a list of seventy-nine people."
"What list?"
"They say they are the backbone of the army that needs to be eliminated..."
"idiot!"
"I heard Date Muneki, Shimazu Funaki..."
"Nani?"
"And your Excellency, Kuribayashi-kun..."
"idiot!"
Li Lin Qingyan frowned.
Navy Red Deer’s purge list? Seventy-nine people?
Are they crazy?
Who do you think they are? Want to eliminate so many seventy-nine people...
But I immediately thought of the Tokyo Incident...
It doesn't seem like there are many.
no.
This matter must be considered in the long term.
…
Zhang Yong returned to Kangyuan Western Restaurant.
A trip in vain. Hope turns to disappointment.
It turns out that No. 20 Petain Road was the headquarters of the Japanese invaders.
Ling Yan and the others guessed correctly. The Japanese invaders did have such a central radio station. It was responsible for receiving telegrams from each other, and then summarizing, analyzing and organizing them.
Finally, the information is formed, classified into categories, and then distributed to those in need.
To say it's worthless is a bit wrong.
To say that it is of great value, but also...
In short, it has little to do with Zhang Yong. Unless he wants to steal the radio station inside.
However, this is Petain Road. It is a place where patrols in the concession are on high alert. It is not impossible to take action here, shoot, and move the radio station. But it will cause serious consequences. It may make it difficult for you to move around in the concession from now on.
The gain outweighs the loss.
Let's leave it here for now.
The map prompts that there is a white point entering. It is marked. It is McFarland.
Ah, this American with a complicated identity is finally willing to show up?
Wait quietly.
Until MacFarlane entered the Western restaurant.
I found that the other person looked very haggard and his eyes were red. He seemed to have been staying up late?
strangeness……
Does this foreign devil also need to stay up late?
Isn't their life very comfortable? Their eyes are like monkey's butts?
Pretending not to notice anything. Stand up and say hello briefly.
When the other party sat down, Zhang Yong started talking.
"What did you say?"
"Lawrence Tour Group. You should have an impression."
"oh……"
MacFarlane was noncommittal.
Then he called the waiter loudly.
"Five cups of coffee!"
"The thickest! The thickest!"
"Five glasses!"
McFarland yelled.
Then he rubbed his face vigorously and started rubbing his eyes again.
It seemed like he would fall asleep at any moment.
Zhang Yong was secretly surprised.
MacFarlane looks wrong!
Over there, the British attach great importance to it, but you, the Americans, are so indifferent.
finally……
The coffee is here.
Very strong. Very strong. Very bitter. Very bitter.
MacFarlane drank three drinks in a row before slowing down.
"Do you have anything else to do?"
"Do you really not care about this Lawrence? He is an American. He was killed..."
"Do you know who Lawrence is?"
"have no idea."
"He is a prisoner. A recidivist cowboy criminal who travels the Western world. He has committed many crimes."
"ah?"
"The so-called tourist group is actually a group of fugitives. They couldn't stay there any longer, so they found an opportunity to come to China. They wanted to take refuge here."
"And died?"
"I do not care."
Zhang Yong:……
Okay. If you don’t care, just don’t care.
If they are really a group of western fugitives, I really don't care. It would be best if they died.
Okay, in that case, I'm fine.
Get ready to stand up and say goodbye.
But MacFarlane started talking about something. He had originally asked Zhang Yong for something.
"Zhang, today, I will introduce you to someone."
"who?"
"He's from the FBI."
"What?"
Zhang Yong was secretly surprised.
Did you hear that right? The other party said FBI?
Traveling to this era, can you actually meet someone from the FBI?
etc……
Let me think about it. When was the FBI established?
Isn't McFarlane lying to himself? Bullying himself for not knowing the situation in the beautiful country, and then talking nonsense?
Oh, probably not.
Zhang Yong really can’t remember the exact time when the FBI was established. But he remembers that there was a Hoover in the early days, who seemed to be very awesome. Moreover, it should be before the outbreak of World War II. Because there was Prohibition and so on. American gangsters often had conflicts with the FBI.
Fight...
The question is, what are the FBI people doing in Shanghai?
Do they control this place?
Oh, it seems to be manageable.
Anyway, Chiang Kai-shek would not protest. Foreigners can do whatever they want...
"What B?" Zhang Yong pretended to be stupid.
McFarland smiled and explained, "It's the FBI."
"never heard of that."
"They used to be called the Bureau of Investigation."
"I haven't heard of it."
"Anyway, you just know that they are responsible for investigating various crimes."
"So, they are here to investigate Lawrence?"
"of course not."
"oh……"
Zhang Yong said he didn’t understand anything.
MacFarlane also knew that he didn't understand anything, so he didn't bother to explain.
Deep down, he also looks down on Asians. He only uses them when necessary. When not needed, he is too lazy to deal with them.
Soon, a tall, thin man appeared, wearing a suit and a round hat.
It is quite in line with the costumes of characters in early Chinese film and television dramas. There are two revolvers unabashedly stuck on the waist.
Zhang Yong looked at it and couldn't tell whether it was the British Webley or the American Browning. They felt about the same?
"My name is Godric."
The other party introduced himself and stared at Zhang Yong.
Zhang Yong felt like he was being targeted by a poisonous snake.
very bad.
I was secretly doubting in my heart.
What does the other party want to do when they come to see you?
"you……"
"Team Leader Zhang, if an American is kidnapped or killed recently, I hope you will notify me as soon as possible."
"Can."
Zhang Yong readily agreed.
Godric took out a business card box and pulled one out.
"this is my name card."
"Thanks."
Zhang Yong took it over.
I discovered that there was no FBI label on it.
On the contrary, he is a business representative of an import and export trading company. He understands and hides his identity.
Then……
There's no after that.
Godric and MacFarlane quickly said their goodbyes and left.
Never mention Lawrence.
Zhang Yong then judged that they were not coming for Lawrence. Otherwise, they should at least go and see the scene.
So, what does Godric mean? What is he going to do?
After thinking about it, I couldn't figure it out.
So I didn't bother to think about it anymore, so I got up and left.
Passing the street corner in front, I saw a foreigner who seemed to be waiting for him.
Very young. Very handsome. Just like Tongalus in his youth.
The only difference is a motorcycle.
Zhang Yong walked directly towards the other party. The other party also smiled at him and then whistled to indicate that the person he was looking for was indeed Zhang Yong.
"You're looking for me?"
"My name is Rod Hart. Is your name Zhang Yong?"
"yes."
Zhang Yong admitted frankly.
The other party probably already knows his identity.
"I'm a private detective."
"What do you want from me?"
"We believe that Mr. Zhang is also looking for an American."
"yes."
Zhang Yong still answered honestly.
He actually wanted to get more information. After all, it involved thirty thousand dollars.
"I'm here for the money."
"Me too."
"Found alive. Half a million dollars."
"What?"
"Find the dead man. One hundred thousand dollars."
"Um?"
Zhang Yong immediately realized that he had really been deceived by Henry.
This Henry, the middleman makes a lot of money by making money from the price difference!
Others offered $500,000, but only gave me $30,000.
Paralyzed!
If you find a dead person, there will be a hundred thousand, okay!
Angry!
I want to go on strike and quit.
"So, who is the missing person?"
"Codename Heather."
"What?"
Zhang Yong was sure that he heard correctly.
The noun the other party mentioned was indeed heather. In English it is called Heather.
It was nothing at first. It was just that he saw some things on the Internet that he shouldn't have seen in his previous life, and he still had a vivid memory of plants like heather.
"I don't know who he is either. I only know the code name Heather."
"Then you come to me..."
"Let's join forces and split it 50-50."
"I have no clue at all."
Zhang Yong admitted honestly.
He didn't have much impression of this Rodhart.
At least, he seems to be easier to communicate with than the old-fashioned Godric. He also has good looks.
"I do not have either."
"That……"
"Let's try our luck."
"All right."
Zhang Yong agreed.
Just try your luck.
What if one day the blind cat really hits a dead mouse?
