CHAPTER XLVII
Since the Japanese army captured Shanghai, the population of the public concession has skyrocketed, from more than one million to more than four million, and more than two million refugees have poured in at once, most of whom have even slept on the roads because there is not enough place to resettle.
Because they fled in a hurry, they did not carry much clothing, let alone food, and they were currently short of food and clothing, without work, starvation was commonplace, and there were even children who sold their daughters.
The tattered straw mat shacks, the tattered clothes and shoes, the ordinary people who were blinded because of hunger, the hungry children who were crying, everything in front of him made Chen Mingxiang feel extremely sad.
However, due to his own mission, he could not do anything for these victims, and a kind-hearted person would not be valued by the Japanese.
"Sister, brother-in-law, I met a kind uncle today, take him to see you, he is willing to help our family." Xue Xiaopeng said when he entered the door.
This is a shanty house built in a public concession, and it is also a thin board house, with air leaks everywhere, an area of several square meters, and there is almost nothing in the house except pots and pans.
Xue Lin is a twenty-four-year-old young woman, although in this situation, she is not unkempt, she is very clean and neat, with short hair and coarse cloth clothes, she looks very delicate and beautiful.
Li Zhendong is about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, very burly, lying in a pile of torn quilts and gritting his teeth to endure severe pain, but he doesn't say a word, and he is also a man.
"Thank you Engong for reaching out to help our family, I, Li Zhendong, am willing to give you this life and repay your great kindness!"
Li Zhendong turned over and kowtowed to Chen Mingxiang, and when he moved slightly, the top of his head began to sweat.
"Okay, don't engage in these false courtesies for a patient, I am stronger than anything else in my heart, in fact, in order to survive, I am doing things for traitors and Japanese people right now, and I am not a good person, lie down!" Chen Mingxiang hurriedly helped him lie down.
Hearing Chen Mingxiang's origin, there was obvious hesitation in the eyes of Li Zhendong and Xue Lin, and the common people hated traitors to the core. But the instinct to survive makes the two have to face the reality, and survival is the most important thing.
"Eun Gong is an official in the government?" Li Zhendong was a little puzzled, it didn't look like it!
Chen Mingxiang wears a Zhongshan suit on the bad street, which is not very good, while the dignitaries and dignitaries in Shanghai are popular in suits and leather shoes, or wear trousers under the robe and leather shoes under the feet.
"That's not it, I'm the manager of the Avenida Huatong Trading Company, and I still have the position of the head of the translation section in the secret service headquarters, which is just a small role." Chen Mingxiang shook his head.
"What kind of traitor is this, the one who helps the Japanese bully the common people is the traitor!" Li Zhendong said, visibly relieved.
Shanghai did things for the Japanese and the Restoration government, if not 100,000, there were 80,000, it cannot be said that they were all traitors, and the general environment in the occupied areas was like this, and most people had no choice.
"Don't talk nonsense, you hurry up and go to the hospital to tie the bones, I have an old house on Yuyuan Road, you move there to live after you are discharged from the hospital, and you also show me the door."
"If you want to do something for me, take care of your body first, and then talk about it, so I'll give you three hundred fiat currency first, and calculate the salary advanced to your family in advance."
"Take this business card, take care of the affairs at home, call me again, and I will ask the telephone bureau to install a phone for the old house." Chen Mingxiang said.
Leaving the place where Li Zhendong's family lived, there was a howl and crying in his ears, which was the joy of being in a desperate situation.
Especially Li Zhendong, as a man, he can't support a family, he feels that he has always had a deep sense of guilt in his heart for letting his wife and brother-in-law starve.
After dealing with this little matter, Chen Mingxiang went home first and drove in the car, and continued to return to the hotel to monitor Chen Chenglun. Until the evening, Chen Chunpu's car came to the hotel and stayed for more than ten minutes before leaving.
He sat in the car and saw it clearly, and being able to have such frequent contact with Wang Jingwei, the deputy secretary general of the traitor, confirmed his judgment even more, something big must have happened.
Chen Mingxiang wore sunglasses in the morning, waited for Chen Chenglun to come out at the breakfast stall, and when he was about to finish eating, he waited at the door of the hotel in advance, found his room in this way, and then went back to the outside, found a tea stall near the hotel, and asked for a pot of tea and a plate of melon seeds.
At about ten o'clock, Chen Chenglun went out, and Chen Mingxiang quickly entered the hotel, unlocked it with wire, and infiltrated his room, which is also the basic skill of the agent.
A letter was found under the pillow, which was actually written by Wang Jingwei, and the content was that he wanted to hire Chen Chenglun, a former student, as his personal secretary.
Chen Mingxiang quickly searched it, and in Chen Chenglun's suitcase, except for a work certificate and a few clothes, he found nothing else, and quickly withdrew after restoring the scene.
Wang Da traitor only presided over the training institution, and the students who participated in it could be called his students, and this product was only a small clerk in the Police Department of the Ministry of the Interior of the Restoration Government, which shows that the friendship between teachers and students does not exist, and with his current position, he is afraid that he has no ability.
Such a small role can also become Wang Jingwei's secretary? It's impossible, Wang Jingwei was also the No. 2 person who could confront the chairman back then, is there still a lack of secretary candidates around him?
So why did Wang Jingwei write this letter?
For two days in a row, Chen Chenglun did not move, but Chen Mingxiang was very patient, except for a trip to the company to show up, the rest of the time was to stare at him.
On the afternoon of the third day, Chen Cheng took his turn to answer the phone downstairs, sneakily came out of the hotel, looked around, sat in a rickshaw, and arrived at the door of another hotel half an hour later.
Now that he has found the target, Chen Mingxiang doesn't care about Chen Chenglun's whereabouts, he waits outside, and after this guy leaves, he starts to capture the target.
Soon, a young man in his thirties came into his sight, carefully observed his surroundings after going out, wore sunglasses, and observed at least four more times along the way before finally entering a residence.
Chen Mingxiang followed from a long distance, and he had also received such tracking training in the training class, so he could always avoid this person's sight.
He joined the Qingpu training class of the military commander until he graduated, and he only knew the name of the heavyweight of the military command, but did not see him, and he knew nothing about this young man.
"Bureau, Chunfeng sent a secret telegram, asking him to give him a copy of all the information of the agents of the Military Control Bureau who are currently in Shanghai, especially the photos, so that they can be protected in a timely manner, and they will be brought to Shanghai by a special person, and he will be burned immediately after reading them, and I want to go to Shanghai." Pan Qiwu said.
"Although this is a top secret of the Military Command Bureau, but I can trust the spring breeze, you don't need to go, just send someone to go and put it at his contact point. The information should be as simple as possible, only provide the photos and names of the officers and special operations personnel at the school level, and the positions can be indicated, and nothing else is necessary. Dai Li said with a smile
