The car drove out of Alyosha's heavily guarded gate and headed east out of the French Concession.

When he stopped in front of the newspaper office at No. 309 Hankou Road, the public concession, Pu Su went in and paid to publish an advertisement for domestic service workers.

After coming out, he pulled over a few intersections, got out of the car, and then walked back to Erma Road. I made a call from the payphone of a rouge shop, and then went back to the parking lot in the other direction to get in the car.

Advertisements are temporary contact methods agreed with superiors. The address and telephone number left in the newspaper office did not exist, and the contents contained secret words that only the superiors could decipher.

That call is made to a contact person who has had a previous call, which is the prescribed contact procedure. Only this time, the other side gave him an action order in secret language, and the mission level was very high.

Pu Su didn't know what kind of person the other party was, so he stayed in front of the phone 24 hours a day and waited for him to call when he didn't know when? If it were him, he would rather go to the front line to kill the enemy, but he would never be able to stand it.

He headed west and then turned to the north of the Public Concession, until he saw the closed iron gate at No. 76 Pole Fielder Road before turning from the junction. Then I drove to the small road of Yuyuan Road, and turned back and forth twice before returning to the residence of the French Concession.

After arriving home, Pu Su immediately closed the door and took out the equipment that Alyosha had brought before.

He did not change the pressure structure of the box mine, but changed the trigger mechanism of the stick mine to a tripping type. He then laid them out in the position he chose, and he was very careful throughout the process.

He knew very well that once this place was surrounded, it meant that he was completely exposed.

The main purpose of setting these up is not to kill people. But in that case, at least you can play an early warning role and buy yourself some time to clean up the aftermath.

He certainly doesn't lack self-confidence, but he's also anything but arrogant.

If you are surrounded on all sides and the other party is not very amateurish, it is more desirable to prevent the enemy from catching them alive.

None of the agent's equipment was brought back before returning from the Soviet Union. Special-purpose items are strictly controlled, and they cannot be solved by spending money.

So in the past few years, he has tried to successfully imitate two things in the border area, and this time he brought them to Shanghai.

Among them is to make sure that you keep your mouth shut when necessary.

……

In the afternoon, the workers of the Concession Telephone Bureau came to install the telephone, saying that it was arranged by Inspector Ren. Pu Su didn't even think to apply for a phone call.

With the foreshadowing of senior Gu Ji here, the preliminary work went so smoothly that he couldn't believe it. After coming to Shanghai, Pu Su found that if it weren't for the seniors here, he would have to work hard to find a reliable place to stay.

Not to mention that it was easy to get a concession residence permit.

After the installation of the telephone worker here, he needed to test the line, and asked the owner if there was a phone to call, Pu Su thought about it and dialed a phone call to Lao Ren.

As a result, the purpose of the test was achieved, the line was unblocked, and the sound quality was clear. It's just that Lao Ren was not in the arresting office, he left his number for the secretary and hung up.

He followed the whole process of installing the telephone, and the workers couldn't do anything. And to this day, he is not a character who can attract the attention of others, he is just an inconspicuous small character in the huge Shanghai Tang, and no one will notice him.

It's just that after tomorrow, everything will be different.

His current resume is, of course, as simple as possible. Gu Ji arranged for him to be a translator and was fluent in French and English.

In the story, as a graduate of the University of Lyon, Pu Su has been working and living in Europe for so many years. It's just that after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, as a descendant of Yan and Huang, even if he was far overseas, he was worried about the country, and this time he resolutely returned to the poster to serve the motherland with the encouragement of his long-time friend Gu Ji.

The character created for Pu Su is a patriotic intellectual who is enthusiastic and has no city in his heart. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, there were many patriotic young people who returned to China to participate in the Anti-Japanese War, and this reason is very reasonable.

Of course, his personal experience in the story is also tragic: "Last year, his wife was sick and mourned, so he has been depressed. ”

This excuse not only conceals his suspicion that he is still single as an older high-quality overseas Chinese. It also added a footnote to his motivation for returning home in discouragement.

The phone that had just been installed rang, and it was only Lao Ren who could call.

Sure enough, as soon as he picked up the phone, Lao Ren's sand voice came from the other end: "Mr. Pu, I'll pick you up and go around the road, and Miss Bai will be with you." In the evening, I ordered Xinlicha to eat big dishes, and Mr. Gu will come when he is free......"

Putting down the phone here, Pu Su began to change clothes.

When he came, he wore the outfit of Mr. Teach, and he threw it away at the Dadong Hotel. I only brought this set of Western-style outfits in the box, and I really wanted to go out and buy a few sets.

After changing his clothes, he looked at his unfamiliar self in the mirror, and Pu Su was in a trance.

A few days ago, he was still in the mountain city of Chongqing, wearing a cotton robe and eating dandan noodles. And before that, he was still wearing a homespun military uniform and drinking millet porridge in the base area......

The glitz in front of him made him feel very strange.

Quickly adjust your mindset. After arranging it, he went downstairs and walked out of the alley to wait for Lao Ren to come over.

……

In the Xinlicha Western Restaurant, Lao Ren was proudly asking Pu Su: "Does he have a row of noodles in Shanghai!" ”

"How's it going, saw the ...... felling"

"Mr. Pu, this is what I told you in the French Concession!"

"I have a bigger face when I go to the public concession, and I ...... when the red-headed Ah San sees my uncle"

"Tomorrow I will take you to Hongkou to see, don't look at Xiao Dongyang is very fierce......"

Pu Su nodded repeatedly as he cut the steak. Bai Mantong next to him looked at Gu Ji, and the two also chuckled in a low voice.

In the afternoon, the three of them went to Xiafei Road to accompany Pu Su to buy some clothes, as well as bed sheets and bedding to use at home. As a result, in order to show his prestige in front of Pu Su, Ren Liansheng walked over to see the shops and asked someone to wrap them up and put them in the trunk of the car. Then he told Pu Su that it was those shop owners who gave him face and paid homage for free.

Pu Su was about to say how this could be, when he saw Bai Mantong squeezing his eyes at him. Later, Bai Mantong quietly told him that they were all bookkeepers, and when he turned around, Lao Ren asked the family to send money.

Now the concession is taxed uniformly, and in addition to that, Alyosha has to collect a share. It is almost equal to a fixed tax, and it is fixed every month according to the situation, and it is similar for each family.

Unlike Pu Su thought, the merchants were willing to hand over that share to Alyosha. They are the most reliable protection in the concession after patrolling. Patrols can't be there all the time, and Alyosha's escort will be there in time to deal with anything happening.

In addition, there are many things that patrols can't meddle in, and they also take care of them. In this way, the merchants are also very relieved, and basically the French Concession is now considered to have achieved peace and contentment.

As a detective, Lao Ren will not take anything for nothing. His net worth is actually far beyond Pu Su's imagination, but he is not clear at all at this time.

Just think about it. has maintained such a large scale, so many people do not do bad things, and in the fish and meat township, it will not last long with that little protection fee alone.

And they also have to buy medicine and ammunition materials, the price of sulfonamide on the black market is simply terrifying, and penicillin is comparable to gold on the black market. When the supply is sufficient, generally a penicillin costs 4 oceans, and if the goods are in short supply, there is nowhere to buy no matter how much money there is.

Lao Renwu boasted about his cowhide, and Pu Su nodded while not delaying eating and drinking. Although the western food here has been improved, he has not eaten steak in a long time, so he has a very good appetite.

After the meal, the four of them sat down for a while and drank a cup of coffee.

After whispering a few words to Gu Ji, Pu Su suggested that everyone go to the clinic for a small meeting later. Gu Ji asked Lao Ren to call Alyosha and ask him to attend the meeting as well.
