January 10, 1939, Shanghai Tang.

Tang Yi stood in the front yard of the reconnaissance department and looked at the several members of the action team who had changed into civilian clothes, nodded, and said to Luo Zhuangshi: "Drive two cars and change the license plates." ”

"Yes."

As soon as the words fell, before it was Luo Zhuangshi's turn to make a move, several members of the action team who were quick to act hurriedly took action.

Tang Yi pursed his lips when he saw this, and got into one of the cars casually.

After a while, the license plate was changed by several team members who were quick with their hands and feet, and Luo Zhuangshi was also busy getting into the same car as Tang Yi and sitting in the co-pilot's seat.

"All changed?" Tang Yi asked.

"That's it." Luo Zhuangshi replied.

"Let's go."

With Tang Yi's order, the two cars slowly drove out of the reconnaissance office and headed towards the French Concession.

......

Why is the fallen Shanghai Tang a paradise in this land that has been full of wolf smoke?

If you want to know, just go to the concession area of Shanghai Tang and take a look.

Since November 29, 1845, when the Qing government Su Songtai Beidao Gong Mujiu and the British Consul Bafur jointly promulgated the "Shanghai Land Charter", concessions from all over Europe have sprung up on this land.

Britain, the United States, France, Germany, Russia, Denmark, Italy, Portugal, Sweden, Austria, Spain, the Netherlands, and all countries that can be called, regardless of size, must put their feet on the beach in Shanghai, and various national flags have been raised on the land of China.

The world seems to shrink here, and when you are in Shanghai, you seem to be able to see the whole world.

Even at the time of the Battle of Songhu, the armies of both the warring armies of China and Japan did not commit any offence against the concessions of various countries.

The Japanese are afraid of the international community, while Chang Kaishen fantasizes about the intervention and mediation of the international community.

War has nothing to do with the concession, even if you can hear artillery fire and gunfire very close during war, but as long as you are still in the concession, the war is far away from you.

And the French Concession that Tang Yi came to is the largest and most prosperous among them.

The two cars slowly stopped at the door of Wu Haifei, director of the French Concession Public Board of Directors, and Tang Yi came to "someone else's territory", of course, he had to bow down to the boss here.

The directors of the French Concession were very idle on weekdays, and they would only get together for meetings unless there was something important and important, so they stayed in their mansions most of the time.

After informing the porter of his intentions, a word came out to invite Tang Yi to come in after a while.

These directors were very cautious about the power of the Japanese, and only allowed Tang Yi to enter with one entourage, and the rest of the people were stopped at the door.

Tang Yi understands very well, after all, the forces supported by the Japanese have already had a reputation that has already stinked all over the streets in the concession because of the pickled things done by the Zodiac Society.

When Tang Yi came to the living room, Wu Haifei was already sitting on the sofa waiting, and when he saw Tang Yi walk in, he stood up and shook Tang Yi's hand, and then motioned for Tang Yi to sit down.

"I don't know what Deputy Director Tang is doing here?" Wu Haifei asked bluntly.

Tang Yi smiled and said, "I'm here on business, especially for Inspector Peng San's case, first come to the dock with you, Director Wu." ”

When Wu Haifei heard this, he immediately said with a businesslike appearance: "Deputy Director Tang is polite, you can rest assured that I will give you the green light in this matter, but although I know something about the case, I don't know the specific details." ”

Tang Yi waved his hand when he heard this, and said, "It's enough to have your words, just send a representative who is familiar with the case to hand over the specific details to me." ”

"Very well, I'll call you now." As he spoke, Wu Haifei was about to pick up the phone on the coffee table.

Seeing this, Tang Yi said: "There's no need to be so troublesome, Director Wu, you can tell me where the person is, and I'll just go find him." ”

Wu Haifei put down the phone when he heard this, "That's fine, the person in charge of this case on our French Concession side is Li Changyu, the Chinese detective of the Fuch Road Patrol House, and Deputy Director Tang can find him directly by going to the Foch Road Patrol House." ”

As soon as the words fell, Wu Haifei said to Tang Yi as if he remembered something: "But I'll still write a procedure for Deputy Director Tang, otherwise the patrol room will not cooperate with you." ”

After speaking, Wu Haifei got up and went to the study, and after about five minutes or so, Wu Haifei walked out with a formality and handed it to Tang Yi.

After Tang Yi took over the formalities, he nodded and said, "Thank you, Director Wu, I will leave now." ”

Wu Haifei didn't do anything to keep it, and nodded even if it was a gift to Tang Yi.

Obviously, these Chinese officials in the concession did not hide their contempt for the traitors in the Chinese realm, which was like the contempt of the Chinese outside the concession for the lackeys of the foreigners in the concession back then, but now it is finally their turn to despise other people, and a new species has finally appeared at the lower end of this deformed chain of contempt.

......

In the patrol room on Foch Road, Tang Yi saw Li Changyu, and Tang Yi was looking at Li Changyu who was sitting at the desk at this time and said.

"I was appointed by the Shanghai Special Municipal Government to learn about Inspector Peng's case, well, this is the procedure of Director Wu Haifei."

Saying that, Tang Yi handed the document in his hand to Li Changyu.

Li Changyu took the file, looked at it twice, nodded, turned around, opened the lock of the filing cabinet, took out a file from it, and handed it to Tang Yi.

"At this time, we are currently investigating the details of this case."

Tang Yi opened the file and looked at it carefully, and the analysis of the case was extremely detailed, and every point was reasonable.

After a long time, Tang Yi put down the scroll in his hand and looked at Li Changyudao.

"Inspector Li, can I see the records in that café?"

Li Changyu nodded, "Of course you can." ”

After that, Li Changyu took out the records of the Elysee Cafe from the filing cabinet and handed them to Tang Yi.

After Tang Yi looked at the record carefully, he raised his head and said, "Just by relying on this Mr. Zu, you can conclude that this person is Zu Guangping?" Isn't it a little too hasty. ”

Li Changyu smiled when he heard this, and said, "Deputy Director Tang should know what Zu Guangping did before he took refuge with the Japanese, right?" ”

Tang Yi nodded and said, "Of course I know." ”

Immediately afterwards, Li Changyu said: "There are not many people with the surname Zu in Shanghai, and there are also friends with Peng San, after our careful investigation, Peng San's social relationship is only Zu Guangping, and Deputy Director Tang may not know that Zu Guangping had a very good personal relationship with Peng San when he was in the French Concession. ”

Tang Yi nodded again when he heard this, and he acquiesced in Li Changyu's words.

"We also found out that on the afternoon of the day of Peng San's death, he also used his connections to release a prisoner from the Huixian Public Prison, and Deputy Director Tang must not have thought of who it was." Li Changyu continued.

Tang Yi's heart sank when he heard this, and he hurriedly pretended not to care very much and asked, "Who?" ”

"Communist Party Luo Xian!"
