Chapter 677 Unexpected Trouble

"I heard that you had lunch with Minglou today. What did you talk about?"

In the garden house at night, Wang Manchun, who was satisfied, lay lazily on the bed, leaning on Wang Yan's arms, but she was talking about another man.

Wang Yan leaned against the bed and smoked, playing with his big baby habitually: "He is the director of the Economic Department, and I am the richest man in Shanghai. What can we talk about? It's nothing more than some business matters, asking me to pay some money and give me some convenience. Oh, by the way, he also knew about your uncle's embarrassment of Mingjing before, and said some words of thanks, and we chatted for lunch."

"Didn't you mention me?"

"He is your old lover, and I am your current lover. It doesn't matter if I come from a gangster background, but he is a serious cultural person. How could such an embarrassing thing be put on the table? From your expression, you still miss Minglou."

"Who knows... "

Wang Manchun let out a long sigh: "What do you think of him? Is there any problem?"

"He is also a well-read and knowledgeable person. We chatted well. We will have to deal with each other in the future. Maybe we will become friends. As for whether he has any problems, that is your business, not mine."

"I asked you to give your opinion, but I didn't say it has anything to do with you."

Wang Yan shook his head and said, "I don't know. I just met him. I just chatted well with him. I don't know anything else. What can I think?"

"He is also the deputy director of the Special Agent Committee. You know this. Then do you know what the first thing he did when he took office was? Pay attention to the prisoners of war and the two captured List of party spies to be dealt with. Liang Zhongchun, director of the No. 76 Operations Department, you are familiar with this person. You have also met him at Wang Zhaoming's welcome party. He was a defector from the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics Shanghai Station two years ago and has been working in the puppet government. He has a deep understanding of the military and underground party members. He told me that he felt that Minglou had a problem and was very likely a member of the military. "

"I still say that no matter what Minglou's identity is, it has nothing to do with me. Even if he really has a problem, even if I know it, I can't let it out of my mouth. I sell the Red Party's penicillin and make a lot of money. On the other hand, I believe you have also received news. Wu Qiren, a senior member of the Kuomintang, presided over the Shanghai work Do you think I have the guts to provoke him? So, don't bother me. If you think Minglou has problems, then go check it out, and don't tell me the situation, lest I accidentally ruin your big plan. "

"Virtue, you, except for that job, you are useless." Wang Manchun slapped Wang Yan's chest with a slap in anger, then turned over and moved to the side, pulling the quilt to cover him: "Sleep! There are so many things to do recently, I'm so busy every day, and I have to be tossed by you, it's really miserable..."

"Isn't it your own will? I didn't force you."

Wang Yan said, put out the cigarette in the ashtray on the bedside table, turned off the lights, and another day of open and secret struggles passed.

Compared to Wang Manchun, Yu Manli gave Wang Yan more trust. Of course, it was still the same reason. She knew that she couldn't hide it, and she couldn't play tricks in front of Wang Yan, and she was not very loyal to the Military Control Commission itself, so she basically said what she had and didn't hide it.

So too, Wang Yan knew that she had contacted her new superior. He even asked in detail and confirmed that the person who contacted Yu Manli was Mingcheng, who pretended to be a venomous snake.

This is the benefit of having a younger brother who knows everything and can be trusted. Although Mingcheng has problems, it is difficult to guarantee that Minglou has no problems, but if something really happens, Mingcheng can still protect Minglou by taking the responsibility, and can also buy Minglou the opportunity and time to escape.

However, Wang Yan is not envious, because he and Minglou have different positions.

Minglou is the colonel intelligence chief of the Shanghai Station of the Military Control Commission, and also the leader of the intelligence group of the Shanghai Underground Party Organization. His organizational relationship is in the Shanghai Underground Party, and he is responsible for infiltrating the enemy to obtain intelligence. Wang Yan is the famous first killer of the Red Party who wanders in the dark. His organizational relationship is in the central government. He is responsible for doing business and materials, and occasionally killing traitors. He obtains intelligence because his status and position have reached a certain level, and he naturally comes into contact with things, which can be regarded as a part-time job.

In terms of contact with the organization, he contacted two people, one was the handsome man who led him, and the other was Lu Boda, the first secretary of the Shanghai Underground Party Organization. He can send messages and hide his radio station everywhere. He really doesn't need his subordinates.

Minglou is different. He has to contact both the Military Control Commission and the Red Party. There are also superiors and subordinates in this process. He can't do it by himself. Even if there is no Mingcheng, he will have disguised friends or something to act as a liaison.

Wang Tianfeng's situation is different. He is just lurking in Shanghai to command. He does not go to the enemy to get intelligence in person. He is a free-moving player. Of course, he knows a lot of people. So now Wang Tianfeng is still wanted by Japanese spies. The previous assassination attempt on Wang failed, and many arrested people gave Wang Tianfeng away. So even if Dai Yunong doesn't take him back to be a teacher, he can't make it in Shanghai...

Perhaps because he doesn't want to be exposed, although Wang Mansion is adjacent to Ming Mansion, Wang Yan has never bumped into Minglou. His time to go out is fixed, but his time to come back is not certain. Minglou worked in the Wang Puppet Government. He had a lot of messes every day. He was very busy going out early and coming back late. It was normal not to bump into him.

In fact, before Ming Lou came back, Wang Yan lived here for a year and had never met Ming Jing. He only met Ming Tai twice occasionally when he came home late in a rickshaw.

Wang Yan's life was still so comfortable. He was holding the French here and dealing with the Japanese there. His business was also on the right track. He only had to pay attention to the latest situation occasionally. As for the police station, he didn't need to worry about it. The three inspectors under him could do the job and he didn't need to do it himself.

The situation this time was different from when he was the inspector before. He didn't need to study the inspectors under him to concentrate power. Because now he has more power. He Shaohong is his man. Qu Wanping and He Xing are from the Youth League. These two people may have ideas, but they don't have the courage to disobey him. In this case, there is no need to kill another inspector and replace him with his own people.

On the other hand, it is also related to the Japanese. He can say with certainty that one of Qu Wanping and He Xing must be involved with the Japanese. This is a problem that can be figured out with a foot. The Japanese have been infiltrating the International Settlement and the French Concession. The inspector is in a high position and has great power. He must be the object of competition.

If he really took action with the cooperation of these two people, he would be looking for trouble. The Japanese would be unhappy and would definitely make trouble for him. It was not worth it.

But life is not always smooth sailing. Wang Yan did not make trouble for himself, but it did not mean that trouble would not come to him.

Winter came to Shanghai again. Perhaps the world would change and the weather would be unpredictable. This winter was much colder than last year. It was only November, but it snowed heavily.

"Brother Yan, this year's weather is really evil. It rained in previous years, but this year it snowed, and it was so heavy."

Qi Si took out a pile of mutton slices from the copper pot in front of him, dipped them in the sauce in the bowl, and stuffed his mouth with them, mumbling as he spoke.

He looked at the falling snow outside the window and the little beggar disappearing across the street, feeling satisfied.

Wang Yan drank the hot rice wine and looked at the snow outside the window. He smiled and said, "Maybe the world has done too much evil and God can't stand it anymore."

"Brother Yan, do you think there are really ghosts and gods?"

"This is a good question, but I haven't seen one. It depends on whether you believe it or not. If you believe it, then there are, if you don't believe it, then there are none." Wang Yan shook his head and sighed, "But it is certain that good and bad luck come from one's own actions. Look, trouble is coming."

Following Wang Yan's gaze, Qi Si looked back and saw Wang Manchun, who came in at the door of the store wearing a windbreaker and long boots and patting the snow on her body at the door.

"Indeed, it may be a big trouble."

After saying that, Qi Si took his bowl and chopsticks, as well as Shanghai soda, ran to an empty table next to him and sat down, then got up and asked the boss to get another pot.

He knew that Wang Manchun would not come to Wang Yan during the day. Now that she came, something must have happened, involving Wang Yan. It's snowing so heavily today, the roads are difficult to travel and the cars are difficult to drive. It's even more telling that they came here in such a situation...

Wang Manchun, with a red face, sat down in the cold wind outside. After the waiter brought the bowls and chopsticks and dipping sauce, she first buried her head in eating two bites of meat to relieve the coldness on her body. Although cars now have heating systems, there is no doubt that the heating effect is not very good, and it will still be cold.

After easing up, Wang Manchun looked at Wang Yan who was drinking hot wine leisurely opposite and smiled: "Drinking hot wine, eating hot pot, and enjoying the heavy snow, you are really in a good mood."

With a slightly harsh tone, it is not difficult to hear the sarcasm in her words.

Wang Yan didn't care, just raised his head, picking up meat from the pot while talking: "You came all the way here in the snow just to mock me? If you have something to say, just say it."

Wang Manchun sneered: "Two days ago, we caught a Red Party member lurking in the No. 76 confidential office. According to his confession, we caught the liaison person who contacted him. The liaison person in charge of the contact was named Zheng Chong, a rickshaw driver in your rickshaw shop."

Wang Yan didn't even stop eating meat. He picked up the pickled garlic and put it in his mouth and chewed it: "Are you done? What does it have to do with me? You come to me for such a small matter?"

"Don't worry, there's more." Wang Manchun stared at Wang Yan tightly and said: "According to Zheng Chong's confession, we caught another person named Yan Zhengcai. You are familiar with this person, right? He is the logistics manager of Yonghua Industrial."

"Anything else?"

"Isn't that enough? Wang Yan, your manager is a Red Party member, is he related to you? It doesn't matter? Don't you know anything about it? "

"I have some impression of Yan Zhengcai. He is an honest and decent person. I didn't expect that he was actually a member of the Red Party. What a pity..."

Wang Yan shook his head and sighed, then changed the subject: "But why should he have anything to do with me whether he is a member of the Red Party? Why should I know? Although he is of a higher rank, he is just a logistics manager. I have dozens of people of his level under my command. It's good enough to have an impression of him. You didn't come here to cheat me, did you? Don't you know my situation?

I have been doing business with the Red Party for so many years, and I have spent a lot of money to open up trade routes in the Japanese-occupied areas and the Kuomintang-controlled areas. Now I am helping the Red Party sell penicillin and help them purchase supplies. Will there be no Red Party members in my company and on the trade route? Not only the Red Party, but also the Military Control Commission and the Central Control Commission? Don't the Special High Section and Iwai Mansion have people from them? And you, didn't you put people under me? When something happened to them, you came to me to ask for punishment?"

Wang Manchun snorted coldly: "Yan Zhengcai was caught last night. He confessed at around ten o'clock. His superior is Li Zhaonian, the deputy general manager of Yonghua Industry. Our people went to Yonghua Industry but found nothing. We went to his residence but couldn't find him either. His wife and children were all gone. You don't just have some impression of this Li Zhaonian, do you? You still say he has nothing to do with you?"

Wang Yan shook his head and sighed: "I know that there are people in the Red Party under my command, but I didn't expect it to be Li Zhaonian. Of course I know him. He is steady and diligent. He has done a good job in assisting Gu Yongcheng. He has been under my command for two years. I really didn't realize that he was actually a member of the Red Party. What a pity. But if you want to say that he has something to do with me, it's still too much of a stretch. If you say that he embezzled my money, then it has something to do with me, but he is a member of the Red Party. Is that something I can decide?

The previous Fang Yuantu, I forgot his Japanese name. He and I were arrested at about the same time But I didn't find out that he was Japanese for so many years. If it weren't for him blocking my way, I would never have found out about it in my life. He speaks Shanghainese, marries a Shanghainese wife, and has a child. How deep is he hiding? What about the Red Party? They can make the Japanese anxious, so they are hiding deeper? You can't put the hat on me just because I have the Red Party under my command.

Don't think I don't know. How many times have you and the Japanese investigated me inside and out? If there is a problem, I would have died eight hundred times. Can I still drink hot wine, eat hot pot, and enjoy the snow scenery here? You can go to Gu Yongcheng for this matter. He knows a lot about Li Zhaonian, and I still don't know so much. In addition, please help me make an appointment with Nan Tian Yoko. Say everything is my subordinates' business, and I apologize to her. In addition, I will explain to Iwai Eiichi later. "

Wang Yan had thought of this kind of thing a long time ago. After all, there are many Red Party members under his command. They are in different positions and divided into different groups. Maybe everyone is a Red Party member, but no one knows it.

This incident involved four people, from No. 76 to the rickshaw company, and finally to the two managers of Yonghua Industry, three of whom worked under him. There is no doubt that this is one of the intelligence lines. The missing Li Zhaonian went through two transfers before reaching him. He was the deputy general manager, so he must be a high-level leader, leading multiple intelligence lines in Yonghua Industry. Above him might be Minglou.

As for why he was lurking in the confidential department and wanted to take the news out, of course it was because this person did not know Minglou's identity. Another point is that Minglou, the deputy director, has much less power than Li Shiqun, who is really in power. There are many confidential information that he cannot get. Especially since he has only been back to Shanghai for two months, he has never been with Wang Zhaoming before, and he has never had any intersection with Ding Mocun, so he is still not taken seriously. Otherwise, how could Nan Tianyangzi and Wang Manchun have always suspected Minglou...

Hearing Wang Yan's words, Wang Manchun laughed out loud: "I thought you would be scared when you heard this news."

"That's too much of an underestimation of me. If such a small thing can scare me, how could I live to this day? If you brought more people, I might really be scared."

Wang Manchun said: "Your North Station warehouse has been blocked by the military police, and we are screening the people inside. Gu Yongcheng and Shi Changxing have both been taken to No. 76, but they are not cooperating and said that they must see you before they can talk. For your face, I We can't do too much, so I came to find you.

Don't look so ugly, they both have good food and drink, and I don't want to use them to make you an article, it's just a normal questioning, but they are too sensitive and cautious, and they won't say anything, and you have to go over. I didn't want to disturb you, I'll tell you in the evening. "

Wang Yan raised his head and took a sip of wine, let out a long breath, and sighed: "It's true that people under the eaves can't help themselves..."

Yan Zhengcai insisted on not speaking until more than ten o'clock, just to remind Li Zhaonian that when he couldn't see anyone at work, he naturally understood what was going on. And No. 76 asked Nan Tianyangzi for instructions, then gathered people to act, surrounded the North Station warehouse, cut off the telephone lines, and so on. It would take more than an hour, and then arrested Gu Yongcheng and Shi Changxing, two of his generals, and finally Wang Manchun appeared in front of him. The time is now more than twelve o'clock.

The one who has the final say is in the warehouse, and the leader was arrested again, which led to Wang Yan not receiving the news now. But it will be soon, because the Japanese are so active, and there are people with him elsewhere, so they must have found a way to contact him long ago. It's just that it snowed heavily today, so we couldn't find his whereabouts for a while.

"What else do you want to do? Fight the Japanese? Do you have the guts?" Wang Manchun rolled her eyes: "Leave or not? Your men are waiting for you to rescue them."

"Anyway, the people have been arrested and the warehouse has been sealed, so why rush? Let's talk after dinner." Wang Yan shook his head and asked curiously: "How did the Red Party member in the confidential office get exposed? Did he take the documents out?"

Wang Manchun smiled and said: "It's interesting to say, he was too unlucky. People in the confidential room can go to the archives room to file, but when he went to file, he sent the people in the archives away and looked through the documents he shouldn't have seen. It happened that someone went in at this time and was caught. The Red Party member's skills were a little worse and he was captured alive. Isn't this a no-brainer? I just arrested most of the people in the telecommunications department in the past two months, and a hidden mole jumped out by itself. It's really..."

Wang Yan couldn't help shaking his head. Luck is also a very important part of underground work. It can't be said that this comrade is not cautious. At that time, he chose to send the people in the archives room away. He must have thought that there were few people going there at that time, and he took advantage of the loopholes in the archives room, so he took the risk. After all, there couldn't be only one person in the archives room, but he was sent away. There was a gap. Few people could resist this opportunity. It was really unlucky.

At this moment, a man wearing a windbreaker and a top hat came in from outside. He didn't stop at the door and went straight to Wang Yan. However, seeing Wang Manchun sitting opposite Wang Yan, and Wang Yan waving his hands impatiently, he had to turn around and leave. He didn't report the news in time, and the big brother had an opinion...
