December 11, 1938, Shanghai Tang

Tang Yi's recent life has been relatively leisurely, after Chai Jinchun's death, the position of captain of the reconnaissance department action brigade has become vacant again, and Zhou Mingrui recommended Zhou Ping, who was born in the Zodiac Society, to the military police headquarters.

It stands to reason that Zhou Ping is old, has done a lot of things, and has some ability, but the appointment has not come down for a long time, which makes Zhou Mingrui a little worried.

Recommending Zhou Ping is not so much a recommendation for talents, but rather a test for Zhou Mingrui, who wants to see if the Japanese still trust him through this temptation.

Unlike Zhou Mingrui, who was anxiously waiting, Tang Yi was quite regular these days, and Chongqing had no other arrangements except for issuing an order to pay close attention to Wang Zhaoming's movements.

Every day, under the persecution of his father Tang Chaoyuan, he contacted Gu Junqiao, and at night, he took Xiang Jie to the major entertainment venues in Shanghai, and called it "to investigate anti-Japanese elements." ”

That night, Tang Yi, who was "investigating anti-Japanese elements" at Paramount Gate, met an acquaintance.

Tang Yi, who was originally just thinking about pastime, just sat on the edge of the bar and drank, without the slightest intention of going to the dance floor to dance, but Captain Dogleg Xiang Jie hugged a beautiful dancer on the dance floor, dancing extremely happily.

After rejecting several accosted dancers, no one came to harass him anymore, and he was drinking without a match, when he suddenly noticed a few acquaintances on the edge of the dance floor.

The old Fang Zheng of the bookstore was talking to a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, Tang Yi raised his eyebrows, thinking that the location of the connection between these two people was a bit interesting, and the person who could connect in this kind of place should be a very interesting member of our party.

Lao Fang obviously had never been to this kind of place, but he hid it well, and his expression did not show the slightest unnaturalness and nervousness, but his movements were slightly stiff.

The nervous old party didn't notice Tang Yi, but Tang Yi noticed the middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, his name was Ke Ming, the editor-in-chief and shareholder of Shanghai Tang Kaiming Bookstore, and he was a thorn in the side of the Japanese.

Located in the public concession, after the fall of Shanghai, the Kaiming Bookstore provided a living guarantee for a large number of patriotic writers and writers, including Lu Xun's widow Xu Guangping, and famous writers Geng Jizhi and Zheng Zhenduo.

They secretly boycotted Japan and secretly reprinted Chinese classics and patriotic poems, thus cultivating a sense of patriotism among Shanghai readers and calling on the people not to be discouraged and to have high patriotic morale.

So Ke Ming naturally became a thorn in the side of the Japanese and was on the wanted list, so Deputy Director Tang naturally knew Ke Ming.

He was a little curious that this Ke Ming didn't stay in the concession honestly, but ran out to connect with our party at night, there must be something more important.

Tang Yi was about to quietly lean over to take a look, when suddenly the door of Paramount was kicked open, and several black-clad detective agents rushed in with guns in their hands.

I saw Zhou Ping rushing in first, shouting: "Squat down, don't move!" ”

There was a sudden chaos on the dance floor, and the old man's expression changed and he suddenly grabbed Ke Ming and ran towards the backstage.

Tang Yi reacted faster, only to see him take three steps and make two steps and come to Xiang Jie's side in the blink of an eye.

"You go and ask what it's for, you can't have fun playing at night!"

Xiang Jie nodded and took the order, gave up the beautiful dancer who was trembling in his arms, and walked over to Zhou Ping.

After speaking, Tang Yi hurriedly chased in the direction of the old man, and the old man had already regained his high vigilance in the past, and of course he noticed Tang Yi who was coming, so he immediately stopped.

Ke Ming on the side hadn't reacted yet, and was anxiously pulling the old direction back to run, when he saw that the old party suddenly stopped moving, he frowned and was about to speak.

I saw Tang Yi coming over and whispering to the old man: "You two, go upstairs to 313 That's my private room, they don't dare to search my private room, go quickly!" ”

Lao Fang looked at Tang Yi and nodded gratefully, he knew that this was the best choice he could make at the moment.

Hurriedly pulled Ke Ming to run upstairs with the flow of people, watching the old man pull Ke Ming upstairs, Tang Yi calmly turned around and walked leisurely towards the bar, and on the way, he also reached out and pulled a Tsarist girl who was standing on the side in fear and was at a loss into his arms.

On the other side, Xiang Jie had already taken a look at Zhou Ping, and Xiang Jie opened his mouth and asked, "Captain Zhou, what is this?" Such a big move. ”

Zhou Ping immediately changed his face when he saw that it was Xiang Jie, and said enthusiastically: "Oh! Captain Xiang is also there? It is said that Deputy Director Tang takes Captain Xiang with him wherever he goes, so is Deputy Director Tang also there? ”

Xiang Jie smiled and didn't answer, but said, "Captain Zhou will answer my question first, and I will answer Captain Zhou." ”

"Haha, it's easy to say, according to my previous brother report in the Zodiac Society, Ke Ming, the editor-in-chief of Kaiming Bookstore, came to Paramount from the concession tonight, and I took my brothers to take the opportunity to take him down." Zhou Ping said with a smile.

At this time, Xiang Jie saw that Zhou Ping answered honestly, and he no longer sold Guanzi, and he also replied with a smile: "Deputy Director Tang is also here, just over there on the dance floor." ”

"Oh? Then I'm going to hurry up and say hello before I act. After speaking, Zhou Ping commanded his subordinates.

"Guard all the gates for me, and let no one in, and let anyone out."

"Yes!" Men take orders.

As soon as Zhou Ping and Xiang Jie walked to the edge of the dance floor, they saw Tang Yi who was laughing with a beautiful Tsarist girl in his arms.

Tang Yi didn't know what to say, not only did he not make the Tsarist girl tremble with fear anymore, but she was lying in Tang Yi's arms and laughing happily.

Captain Xiang Jie admired it in his heart at that time, "In such a while, I found such a beautiful foreign girl, and the young master is amazing!" ”

Zhou Ping walked over and said with a smile: "Disturb Deputy Director Tang Yaxing, I received news that Ke Ming was coming to Paramount tonight, so I calculated the right time and rushed over to arrest him." ”

Hearing this, Tang Yi nodded and said: "This Ke Ming is indeed hateful, you arrange people to search one by one, if you encounter someone who does not cooperate and has a backstage, just check, I will support you today!" You just let it go. ”

Zhou Ping's face suddenly turned happy, he was afraid that he would not give him Zhou Ping if he met someone from the puppet government in a few days, but since Deputy Director Tang had spoken, no one on the beach would not give Tang Yi face.

"It looks like it's going to be a meritorious service." Zhou Ping thought to himself.

Then looking at Zhou Ping looking like he was about to show off his strength, Tang Yi also said with a smile: "Xiang Jie, you accompany Captain Zhou to check carefully, if there is anything that doesn't give face, you can come forward for me directly!" I see who dares not to give Tang Yi three points of thin noodles! ”

Xiang Jie nodded to receive the order, and Zhou Ping smiled even more happily.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Yi stood up with the Russian girl in his arms, reached out and patted her buttocks gently, and with the exclamation of the Russian girl, Tang Yi raised his eyebrows and said to Jie Zhouping and the others: "Then I will go back to the private room to talk about life with Miss Anfia first." ”

Seeing this, the two of them showed lewd smiles, and Xiang Jie made an exaggerated gesture of invitation to send the two upstairs.

"That's right! Don't tell Team Leader Gu, especially you, Captain Zhou! Tang Yi, who was going upstairs, seemed to think of something, and suddenly turned around and said.

The two people downstairs nodded again and again, showing a look that I understand, you can rest assured.
