More than an hour later, Li Shiqun appeared in the French Concession's residence and sat opposite the owner of the residence, drinking tea and chatting.
Remember that Tianming is a gangster leader and has no principles, so Li Shiqun sat for a while and said directly: "Teacher, I met with the Japanese general Enjiro today, and the general asked me to set up an intelligence agency
, to assist the Japanese in attacking anti-Japanese elements in Shanghai."
Ji Tianming pretended to say: "Scholars, working for the Japanese is not a good thing, and it will also be hated by the people in Chongqing."
Li Shiqun said with a smile: "Teacher, what can I do if the people over there in Chongqing hold grudges? They have been beaten back by the Japanese and have no time to take care of themselves. At most, they will send out some assassins to carry out assassinations. What can I do?
.”
Ji Tianming said calmly: "Forget it, you have chosen your own path, and I won't care about you. But what is the purpose of your coming here? Isn't it just to inform me that you have been promoted and made a fortune?"
Li Shiqun immediately said: "Teacher, it's like this. The Japanese asked me to set up a secret service and provide weapons funds, but they asked me to recruit the personnel myself. And in the current situation, I urgently need some capable manpower, so I came to find them."
Teacher, please help.”
This is why Li Shiqun came to Ji Tianming without hesitation. After all, he urgently needed to perform in front of the Japanese. Only in this way could he get greater support from the Japanese.
Although Ji Tianming was a traitor who committed all kinds of crimes and did not have any patriotic sentiments, there was no senior figure in the Qinggang who openly defected to the Japanese, so he hesitated a little and said with a frown: "Scholars, although
I don't object to your defection to the Japanese, but you can't drag me into trouble. After all, the current situation is unclear. If China and Japan make peace, and the Japanese leave, then Chongqing will have to settle accounts in the future."
Li Yunsheng said with a smile: "Teacher, according to the current situation, there will be no peace between China and Japan. Moreover, Mr. Wang has promised to cooperate with the Japanese and is preparing to form a new government. Even if peace is made, it will be with the new government."
Make peace, and we and the future new government are all our own people, how can we settle accounts later..."
Ji Tianming was just a gangster. Although he had some knowledge, he did not have a long-term vision, so he was quickly persuaded by Li Shiqun: "Well, your former brothers and sisters have many good players. I will assign thirty people to you."
, let them work for you.”
Hearing that Ji Tianming agreed, Li Shiqun was very happy and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, teacher, but the student has a little problem and I would like to ask you for help."
Ji Tianming asked doubtfully: "You are now a popular figure among the Japanese. Is there anything else you need my help with?"
Li Shiqun said respectfully: "Teacher is a prominent figure in Shanghai. If you just stamp your foot, the ground in Shanghai will shake. Even the Japanese can't compare to you, teacher. So when I encounter trouble, I will naturally turn to you."
It’s on my head.”
Hearing Li Shiqun's compliments, Ji Tianming was in a good mood and laughed and scolded: "You little monkey is really good at talking, so tell me if you need my help with anything."
Li Shiqun said quickly: "It's not a big deal. I just ask the teacher to tell your men to help me pay attention to some new faces in the concession, especially the new faces where many young people gather together."
Although Ji Tianming didn't have a long-term vision, he might have been in Shanghai for many years and was still standing. He was definitely not a fool, so he immediately guessed Li Shiqun's purpose and said calmly: "You want me to help you find anti-Japanese elements.
"After he finished speaking, he looked over with a meaningful look.
After hearing what Ji Tianming said, Li Shiqun did not hesitate and said simply: "Yes, these anti-Japanese elements are hidden in the concession. If we don't find them, we can't calm Shanghai down."
Ji Tianming thought for a while, and then said: "Shiqun, because you and I are in a teacher-student relationship, I will provide you with some help to the best of my ability, but I cannot directly contact Chongqing because of you.
Face to face with those people, after all, those people are too ruthless.
Look at Wang Kneeling now, those who are being chased by Chongqing agents dare not leave the Shanghai Municipal Government, so I don’t dare to do this, lest I end up with the same fate.”
Wang Qiubai was assassinated several times in Shanghai. Naturally, he couldn't hide it from these local snakes, especially the military commander's ruthless style, which always used suicide attacks. Even if the assassination was unsuccessful, it still shocked many people, and Ji Tianming was no exception.
So I don't want to have a head-on conflict with military agents.
The two of them had a teacher-student relationship, so Li Shiqun knew Ji Tianming very well, so he persuaded him: "Teacher, what you are worried about is just that Chongqing agents will cause trouble for you, but Shanghai is now Japanese territory. Sooner or later, in this concession,
I also want to have a surname of Ri, don’t you think about the future?
And I only asked you to help me find out information about those people. I will take action myself when the time comes. As long as Chongqing doesn’t notice, who will cause trouble for you..."
With Li Shiqun's constant persuasion, Ji Tianming quickly compromised. After all, the Japanese are now powerful, and many of these rogue tycoons are optimistic about Japan.
After the two people reached an agreement, Li Shiqun turned around and left, returning to Headquarters No. 76.
Early the next morning, Ji Tianming sent some of his men to join Li Shiqun, and these people were all good players in the gang, which greatly increased the traitor's strength.
Thanks to the help of Ji Tianming, Li Shiqun quickly got some clues. After all, no matter how careful the people of the Military Command Bureau were, several young men gathered together, and it was still a bit conspicuous. Especially these armed personnel were not allowed to go out at will, which made it even more difficult.
Makes people suspicious.
As the Qing Gang had a large number of people and was a local gangster in Shanghai, they quickly discovered several suspicious locations and notified Li Shiqun.
Li Shiqun was very satisfied with the news from several places that Tianming had reported, and decided to lead people to raid these places. As long as they found a breakthrough, they could follow the clues.
As for whether he had found the wrong person, Li Shiqun didn't care. In the eyes of these traitors, ordinary people were like ants, so he led more than twenty traitors out.
Since it was in the concession and the arrest could not be noticed, Li Shiqun led people to check several places and then found a place to hide and wait until night to take action.
After eight o'clock in the evening, Li Shiqun led people to raid these places. Because this traitor was experienced and had many judgment methods, he could distinguish those who were from the military command and those who were just ordinary people, so he moved very quickly.
An hour later, Li Shiqun led people to an ordinary house. This was the last place Ji Tianming told him and the last glimmer of hope.
Li Shiqun didn't get anything from the previous places. Although there were many young men among them, the traitor could be sure that those were ordinary criminal militants and not the military commanders they were looking for. After all, military commanders were well-trained.
Even if they encounter a sudden attack, they will not perform well.
Since they had already experienced several attacks, these traitors did not need to be replaced by Li Shi, but spread out on their own, found suitable positions, and were ready to act at any time.
