Lao Ren reported the names of several newspapers, all of which were progressive newspapers that Pu Su was familiar with.

Although I already have a plan in my heart, I can't make a decision at once.

Which people to send, with what attitude, and what level of strength to show, many details need to be carefully considered.

First of all, Alyosha needs to select people. None of the players here could move, so they could only choose from the mansion. Then the protection of the newspaper must be provided in the name of accepting employment. That is to say, these people only recognize money and do not recognize people, purely for the sake of money.

As a White Russian thug, only such a gesture is not noticeable.

Here in Shanghai, the high-end bodyguard industry is basically monopolized by Belarus. For historical reasons, many of the White Russians who were exiled to Shanghai were veterans with fierce and high military value. And the people are tall and the horses are very deterrent, although the asking price is high, but it is absolutely easy to make.

Many traitors who had affairs with the Japanese and helped the Japanese side to do things have always hired White Russian bodyguards to protect them in the public concession. It's just that I'm worried that the hoe gang will attack them.

So it's normal to select a group of people from the mansion to go out and provide escorts.

Pu Su asked Lao Ren to negotiate the price with the newspaper, pretending that the White Russians were very important to the remuneration and that they also wanted to provide the weapons.

The firepower they possess must not be shown to the outside world. Only the men are not armed, and if the thugs are armed, only the employer provides them. If you want to be an ornament, one person can issue a pistol. If you want to be really reliable and scary, then find a way to get heavy weapons.

The newspaper industry is exquisite, not only is it not a problem to get some weapons, but it is also easy to go to the board of directors to apply for a gun license. As a self-defense measure under the pressure of the situation, there is no reason why the Board of Directors should not approve it.

At that time, assassinations and other incidents in the concession were frequent, and they were often blocked and checked at various intersections. If guns and weapons are found, and the source and purpose of the guns and weapons are not clear, they are all taken to the patrol house as suspects.

Pu Su is stained with the light of Gu Ji and Lao Ren. As soon as I came to Shanghai, I had all kinds of documents, including gun licenses.

According to the news brought by Lao Ren, Hongkou's pass will take a few days to arrive.

At the moment, Pu Su doesn't really need the documents from there. It will take some time to plan to go there to carry out activities.

What he desperately needs now is a couple of trucks. And it can't be bought with money, it can only be obtained by shady means.

As long as you go to the dealership to buy a truck through a contact person, no matter how careful you are, it will leave a trace. The law of things is that any transaction has a trace.

What they will do in the future can be said to be a shocking case.

The criminal investigation methods in the concession are absolutely world-class, and Lao Ren is just the head of a department in the French Concession.

Major and important cases are usually supervised directly by the Chief Inspector, and the foreign sheriff is responsible. If Lao Ren is involved, let alone providing cover, he may not be able to protect himself.

So he needed to ask where he could get a couple of trucks with good performance. Lao Ren didn't think much about it after hearing this, so he asked him to go to the Ministry of Industry Bureau in the public concession to have a look.

"Rabbits don't eat the grass by the nest", Lao Ren will definitely not lead the way for Pu Su in the French Concession. Their nests and dens are all in the French Concession, and it is self-defeating to do things on their own territory.

Even if you get the right truck from the concession, it will be a problem to hit the road in the future. No matter how secret the basement of the mansion is, it is inevitable that there will be trouble under the nose of the patrol room.

So it's best to go to the public concession and find a way.

Such cases, no matter how egregious in nature, can only be counted as theft. Because of the jurisdiction, after the case was discovered, they would at most send a notice to this side for investigation. There have been many similar reports for a long time, and no one in the French Concession took it seriously.

Lao Ren told Pu Su that the Transportation Committee under the Public Works Department of the Ministry of Public Concession was parked with all kinds of vehicles.

He often went there to run errands, and many of the cars were unloaded directly from the British merchant Taikoo Steamship, and they were the best vehicles in Britain.

The day before yesterday, when he went to the telephone bureau to coordinate the telephone call of Chu Mingyi's contact person, he also saw a brand new truck parked in the Ministry of Industry Bureau, at least twenty or thirty of them, which should have been off the ship for a short time.

Speaking of which, he remembered the result of the phone call he had told Pu Su.

Chu Mingyi's contact number was indeed found, in a hotel on Erma Road. It's just that when he arrived there with the people and the Ministry of Industry Bureau, the people in the room had already checked out and left.

After interrogating the innkeeper and waiter, they learned that the room had always been a family of three, a couple with a daughter for a long time. Now that I have checked out, it is difficult to inquire in the huge Shanghai Beach.

However, Lao Ren brought a registration form for the hotel, which was filled out by the man who checked into the hotel a few years ago. Pu Su took it and looked at it, his face was silent, but he thought in his heart that this guy had better not be caught by himself.

The writing on the form is a beautiful hand. The registered place of origin is Yancheng, Jiangsu, which is obviously fake. What is infuriating is that the name registered on it is simply called "Wang Gong", which is undoubtedly an anti-communist homonym.

Pu Su remembered what this person told Chu Mingyi on the phone, and swore that he would definitely catch him. Then he glanced at the handwriting on the registration form a few more times, and asked Lao Ren to burn it.

If there is no clue, it is useless to say anything cruel, so it is better to deal with the matter in front of you.

The place where the two of them spoke was in the hall downstairs.

Now that there is Li Wenjuan at home, it is considered to have a female dependent, and it is easy for outsiders to go upstairs. Li Wenjuan was also interested, when Lao Ren came, she went downstairs to say hello, poured tea for the two of them and avoided it.

Pu Su estimated that she had gone back upstairs to read newspaper clippings. In fact, the life here is a little more free than the two days when I was locked up in the mansion. The range of activities is only in the small courtyard, and it is easy not to go out.

After Lao Ren said the same thing that should be said, he beckoned Alyosha in across the courtyard wall, and the three of them discussed the next countermeasures together.

Although the plan of action and the command are made, Pu Su has absolute leadership. However, in the preparatory stage, it is still necessary to give full play to democracy, after all, Shanghai is not so familiar to Pu Su now.

For example, Pu Su didn't know anything about the topography and architecture of the Ministry of Industry, and he hadn't been to the interior before, while Lao Ren and Alyosha were quite familiar.

Alyosha, in particular, is very familiar with the establishment of guards within the Ministry of Industry and even the timing of the changing of the guard.

The main force in the mercenary group is his fellow White Russians, most of whom are familiar with him. Moreover, there are many veterans in the mansion who retired from the mercenary group of the Ministry of Industry Bureau (International Business Group) in the past.

Originally, Alyosha wanted to use a large amount of money to bribe; Just let the guards release the water and just go in and drive the truck out; The idea was vetoed by Pu Su.

If so, it is better to pay for it from the car dealership; The same is true between the two. It's nothing more than that the trucks in the Ministry of Industry are all for military use, and their performance is a little better.

Even if bribery is feasible, it is only a little easier when it is done, and the consequences afterwards are unimaginable. The theft of a vehicle from the Ministry of Industry is not a trivial matter, and the relevant responsible persons must be seriously investigated and dealt with.

At least whoever was on duty that night was unlucky.
