Chapter 619

~17 min read 3,235 words

After eating a hard-to-eat lunch, Wang Yan walked around the courtyard with his hands behind his back against the sun that was already a bit poisonous to digest.

The area of this manor is very large. The front yard is a landscape of mountain stones, with flowing water, and the back yard is a large garden, with pavilions and towers, planted with many flowers, plants, and trees of suitable varieties. In addition, there is a lawn that is not small, which can be used for running and games, and even for two golf clubs.

It is also because there are various buildings and trees in the large courtyard, so the courtyard does not look empty, so if there is anything, he can climb over the wall and go out in the middle of the night without any problems. However, the only bad point is that in a place where such large manors are gathered, it would be very strange for him to walk outside in the middle of the night, which is a test of his stealth ability.

In fact, he is doing the work of 'Pei Min' now, which is indeed a bit inconvenient. He cannot have actions during the day, only at night after people are all asleep. However, from the opposite direction, his current identity is also quite secret. After all, who would think that the famous Chinese detective in the French Concession Central District in Shanghai would be the Red Party's number one assassin who specializes in dirty work?

On the other hand, it is also because he does not easily take action now, and the occasional one or two actions have no great impact on him. So, comprehensively speaking, there are some problems, but not big.

"Brother Yan, someone named Tian Biao wants to see you, saying he is congratulating you on your moving, waiting outside the door." A subordinate little brother rode a bicycle from the front gate of the front yard and reported the news to Wang Yan.

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised that Tian Biao actually found his home directly, waved his hand and said: "Let him in, wait for me in the living room."

The subordinate responded and rode his bicycle back to the gate to report. Wang Yan walked back with his hands behind his back, continuing his original rhythm.

In the living room, seeing Wang Yan turn out from the back door, the chubby Tian Biao sitting on the sofa stood up with a smile and arched his hands: "Congratulations to Detective Wang on your moving, I brought a pot of orchids to add flowers to your brocade."

"Many thanks for your kindness, although it's a bit stingy, it's better than delivering yourself to the door empty-handed." Wang Yan sat on the single sofa next to him, offered a cigarette, lit it himself and took a puff, and said: "Your courage is very big, not afraid of attracting the attention of the Japanese?"

"Recently we have investigated, the Japanese have not sent anyone to monitor you, and today is the opportunity for you to move to a new home, I come to congratulate you, what is wrong?" Tian Biao frowned and said: "However, we learned that the Japanese sent Wang Wang Manchun of the Wang family to approach you, and recently she has been very hot with you. You must be careful about this woman. They all say that the most poisonous is a woman's heart. This woman really has a venomous heart. Before, our Shanghai intelligence station was almost wiped out, and she participated in it. I heard that the Red Party is also not having a good time, and this woman has quite a few means. And we learned that she had dated two men before, and they were all killed by her own hands. Detective Wang, you must be careful, don't capsize in the gutter."

"Wang Wang Manchun looks beautiful, her figure is enchanting, and she is also a young lady from a big family, which is very much to my heart. She delivered herself to the door, is there any reason not to want it? As for the capsizing in the gutter you said, it depends on whether she has that ability. If she really has it, then Wang Mou will be a romantic ghost who dies under the peony flower, what's wrong with that? The Japanese understand me."

Wang Yan shook his head with a smile, quite self-satisfied: "You came to find me, not just to tell me these things, right?"

"Of course not, just a kind reminder." Tian Biao looked around and sat closer to Wang Yan: "Mainly to thank you for pointing out our shortcomings before, saving the lives of hundreds of our brothers. During this period, we urgently changed to a new contact point, and finally we are at ease."

"I want to say, it's your overreaction. Do I really have the courage to sell you out? Why bother? You must know that doing more is doing wrong. You have moved so densely during this period, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no problems. As for the peace of mind you said, you don't think you are really hidden, right?"

"You mean... we worked in vain? You found our new contact point?" Tian Biao looked at Wang Yan with suspicion. He felt that Wang Yan was pretending to be profound, deliberately scaring him, and taking him for fun.

Wang Yan puffed a cigarette lightly and said calmly: "Baolai Tailor Shop on Jin Shenfu Road."

Horror appeared in Tian Biao's eyes. He didn't expect Wang Yan to really know, and he calmed down his jumping heart. After all, everything is stimulating for the first time. Having had Wang Yan point out their three contact points before, this time he found another one, and he accepted it much better.

But after calming down a little, he couldn't help but ask: "This time, how did you see it?"

"I said it, you haven't learned how to hide yourself correctly. Although my duty is to help the French exploit the wealth of the Chinese, my profession is a policeman, and I have also worked my way up from the lowest-level Chinese police. I have also broken murder cases and theft cases, so you don't habitually treat me as a fool who only knows how to make money and play with women. I walk at least two round trips on Jin Shenfu Road every day, and all the movements on that road are in my eyes. You put the new contact point there, and after so many days, it is really a waste that I can't find it.

And the most critical thing is that the number of people in your Shanghai intelligence station is only so many. No matter how good my memory is, as long as I find suspicious people, the next time I see them, it will be almost the same. The French Concession is very large, but it is also very small. Suspicious people appear frequently, which means there is a problem. As long as there is enough time, I can find all your contact points in the French Concession."

Wang Yan's eyes were full of teasing: "How about it, are you changing it this time? I haven't wandered around other places much during this period, just walked a lot on Jin Shenfu Road. Or should I go and see Avenue Joffre, Avenue Petain, etc. from tomorrow?"

"Forget it." Tian Biao waved his hands and shook his head repeatedly: "I believe your eyes are poisonous, and ordinary people don't have that ability. Your memory is good, and you remember our people. No matter how you change places, there will be a day of exposure. Just like you said before, if the Japanese could find it, they would have brought people to arrest them long ago."

"So you say your actions are redundant? Worked in vain? I know that your superior must suspect Wang Mou's character. He thinks that I won't sell you out when there is nothing to do, but once there is something, I will definitely sell you out without hesitation, not wanting to put my life gate in the hands of others, which is the correct approach. But unfortunately, I, Wang Mou, still have some ability, and you can't hide. I can guarantee you that although I, Wang Mou, cherish my life and don't have the courage to resist Japan and save the country, I won't hinder your actions, because I don't have the courage to offend you either.

Think about it, even if I rely on the Japanese to wipe out your Shanghai intelligence station, the Military Statistics Bureau cannot give up Shanghai, such a first-class metropolis in the Far East, the largest intelligence center in Asia. So the successor who works in Shanghai next, the first thing is to kill me and wash away your shame. So you can rest assured, my mouth is very tight. You can only believe, can't you?"

"You are joking, we have never doubted you, otherwise we would not have contacted you, and revealed to you the news that we are going to take action against the Japanese army around Shanghai. If you really want to be unfavorable to us, you only need to inform the Japanese in advance, and then what awaits us is a huge loss that cannot be borne."

By this time, Tian Biao didn't need to say anything that damaged feelings. Scene words didn't cost money, so he just held Wang Yan up.

"It's been almost half a month, and I haven't seen any action from you. I think, it's better to bomb the port, bomb the railway, and then take action against the Japanese army stationed around when the Japanese's attention is in these two places."

Regarding Wang Yan's suggestion, Tian Biao shook his head: "We are engaged in intelligence, at most leading the way when taking action, only having the right to suggest, not the right to command. However, the action will start soon, and it is estimated that it will be in this period."

"Oh? You have settled the situation of the Japanese army stationed around?"

"It is the intelligence provided by the Red Party, and their guerrillas have long had plans in this regard. They accidentally met our people from the Loyalty and Righteousness National Salvation Army in Taihu, and the two sides communicated, and finally decided to take action together. This time the movement is definitely not small. Our Loyalty and Righteousness National Salvation Army has thousands of people active here, and the Red Party's guerrillas also have hundreds of people, enough to fight a local war. You just wait and see, and you will know when the time comes."

Wang Yan knew that it must be the Shanghai Party organization that received his intelligence, tossed it around and sent it to the guerrillas, and had an 'accidental encounter' with the Loyalty and Righteousness National Salvation Army. With the degree of infiltration of the Red Party into the Kuomintang, it is really not difficult to do these things.

Such a great effort, on the one hand, protected him, and on the other hand, also helped the Loyalty and Righteousness National Salvation Army, which is a good thing.

"Then I'll wait to see the newspaper." Wang Yan nodded with a smile, and the conversation turned: "It's not that I don't wish you well, you'd better not participate in this action, which is good for you and good for me. In case of an accident, you are caught by the Japanese and tortured, just your fat appearance, it doesn't look like you can hold on. Although I didn't help you, my contact with you is a taboo. When the time comes, you supply me, and the Japanese come to find me to settle accounts, which is also a trouble, not easy to deal with."

"You can rest assured, we are just in contact, there is no other substantive interaction, there is nothing to say. If Tian Mou is really unfortunately caught one day and can't hold on to the torture and opens his mouth, he will definitely not climb and bite indiscriminately. Moreover, although Tian Mou is white and fat, he is born by his parents, born fat, not eaten to be full of fat. I ask myself that I still have some muscles and bones, and have the determination and courage to be loyal to the Party and the country."

"Then let's wait and see. I have always not listened to what people say, but looked at what people do."

Tian Biao laughed and stood up, arched his hands to Wang Yan: "Detective Wang, goodbye."

In a private room of a teahouse on Avenue Joffre, the chubby Tian Biao sat on the stool with only half his buttocks carefully, his body straight. Opposite him was Wang Tianfeng, who was scratching his head.

Wang Tianfeng was very worried. If it weren't for this, with his calmness, he wouldn't have made a move that exposed his mood. He stared at Tian Biao: "You mean, Wang Yan remembered our people, and it's useless to change places?"

"He told me that, otherwise he wouldn't have found our tailor shop on Jin Shenfu Road. He said his memory is very good, and he will remember suspicious people at a glance. The next time they appear, he will suspect the location. If he sees more, our contact points will be exposed, and he will remember more people. According to what he said, as long as he wanders around the French Concession for a few days, none of our contact points can be hidden. I think what he said is true, otherwise there is no reason why our newly changed contact points would be exposed."

Wang Tianfeng sighed: "Capable person..."

"Yes, Section Chief, fortunately he didn't really rely on the Japanese, otherwise it would definitely be our disaster." Tian Biao also sighed, he really admired Wang Yan now, being able to be carefree for so many years is really not easy to deal with. He looked at Wang Tianfeng and asked a nonsense question: "We won't change places this time?"

Wang Tianfeng squinted: "Are you laughing at your superior?"

Tian Biao stood at attention busily: "Subordinate dare not."

"I really didn't expect that he could have this ability. I spent so much manpower and material resources to be busy for so long before. Now it seems that it was all in vain. Now I have to get along with Wang Yan even more. He really holds our little life. Thank him for not killing." Wang Tianfeng snorted, waved his hand, signaled him to sit down, and asked again: "Besides these, what else did you two say?"

Tian Biao started talking from entering the door, even saying that Wang Yan's little brother wanted to ride a bicycle to find Wang Yan, until he left Wang Tianyue Gongguan, even Wang Yan's expression had to be clear. Wang Tianfeng listened very carefully. He hadn't contacted Wang Yan. It was in Tian Biao's retelling that he analyzed Wang Yan further and understood him more...

Wang Yan could think of Wang Tianfeng's helplessness. No way, he could just find it. In fact, he didn't just see the contact points of the Military Statistics Bureau in the French Concession, the Red Party's was also not running, and it was not as hidden as he said to Tian Biao before.

Not to mention others, just the Cheng Jinyun who was dating Ming Tai in the play, the quality was relatively much worse. Wang Yan had accidentally seen her twice on the road. In addition to those related to the characters in the play, he also found that two shops were contact points of the Red Party.

Although he had not received professional agent training, he had vision, knew how to look at people, and his observation and judgment abilities were all top-notch. Unless they didn't move, sooner or later there would be a day when they were noticed by him. Wandering around the French Concession more, there were basically no secrets in his eyes. As for his doing business, it was even more so. Among the companies he cooperated with, he could be sure that two were controlled by the Red Party.

Of course, this was him. If the people of the Military Statistics Bureau and the Red Party were really that waste, what kind of enemy-behind-the-lines struggle would they engage in? Just surrender. It was just that he opened the hang, and the knowledge of nearly a thousand years was there, knowing more, knowing how to do more, from the understanding of the human body to the grasp of the human heart, plus his keen insight, which made people despair and have nowhere to hide.

However, those things had nothing to do with him, just out of the sensitivity of his current identity, he paid silent attention.

After arranging Wang Wang Manchun, Wang Yan was puffing on a cigarette, playing with the big baby: "Are you still thinking about that Ming Lou?"

Wang Wang Manchun lazily raised her head, and her blinking big eyes were full of surprise: "How do you know?"

"I'm not a fool. I moved there, but you died and wouldn't go to my Wang Tianyue Gongguan, but instead you were still in this garden villa. Isn't that hiding from people? There are only a few families nearby, and if you ask around, you will know. Are you afraid of being seen by the Ming family, and then spread to Ming Lou's ears?"

"Who hasn't loved anyone when they were young?" Wang Wang Manchun sighed sadly: "They all say that what you can't get is the best. Before, Ming Lou and I had reached the point of talking about marriage. It's all to blame for his big sister who couldn't get married. How could I be reconciled? What? Are you jealous?"

"Whose vinegar am I eating? If you really became someone's wife, perhaps it would be another feeling then." Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "But I don't think you and that Ming Lou have a play. Your Wang family and the Ming family have a blood feud. Even if Ming Jing agrees, can Wang Fuqu do it? Furthermore, you are the eldest daughter of the second branch of the Wang family, but Ming Lou is the eldest son of the Ming family. Your status is not enough."

"Now it's all about free love. Who cares about those old traditions? It mainly depends on Ming Lou's attitude."

"Really interesting, you are chanting the eldest daughter of the second branch of the Wang family on one side, and saying that no one cares about old traditions on the other side. Women, tsk..."

"It's all to blame for that bitch Ming Jing. I will make her regret it sooner or later." Wang Wang Manchun snorted: "I investigated her and found that she is relatively close to the Red Party. Don't let me find evidence, otherwise she will have a hard time."

"Sure enough, the most poisonous is a woman's heart, this is holding a grudge." Wang Yan smiled and pressed her head down: "I feel you have strength again, come, continue..."

Wang Wang Manchun resisted with woo-woo-woo, but in the end, she followed with charming eyes...
