Chapter 174: Tang Jin's Invitation(1/2)
"Hanjie found out who did it?"
"It is not clear yet that this group of people has a professional kidnapping and murder methods, and they all have Chinese accents. There are not many organizations that can have such ability," said Yan Lei.
"Will it be the Japanese who played another trick of thieves calling for thieves?" Lu Xiyan said. It is not surprising that the Japanese have long coveted the interests of the concession, so it is not surprising that they took the opportunity to cause trouble.
Only by disrupting the public security issues in the concession can they have the excuse to interfere in the affairs of the concession.
The concession is a lawless place, but the concession will not be the land of European and American powers in a strict sense.
"It's not that there is no possibility..."
"What are you talking about in the study early in the morning, muttering." Meng Fanxing came in with wet hair, "Brother Anzi, dad is asking us to have a meal."
"I told Yan Lei that some companies set up commercial radio stations, and I specially hired a girl to send and receive newspapers." Lu Xiyan said, "Look at how to arrange it."
"Little girl, how old are you?" Meng Fanxing asked intriguedly when he heard this.
"At the age of eighteen and nineteen, I just came out of school." Lu Xiyan said.
"It's for me, I just happen to be missing an assistant secretary." Meng Fanxing thought for a while.
"Are you sure?"
"Sure."
"Okay, then this matter is settled. Yan Lei and Tian Rui will be arranged in the general manager's office. First, the position is secretary." Lu Xiyan said.
"I understand, sir." Yan Lei nodded.
"Let's go, go downstairs for breakfast, and you'll have to go to work for a while."
...
"Doctor Lu, Sister Fanxing is back?" Xi Mengyao walked into Lu Xiyan's office with a handful of cases in her arms, and asked with an indescribable and nervousness.
"Yes, so Mengyao, you don't have to cook dinner for us tonight." Lu Xiyan said.
"Oh." Xi Mengyao heard this, her mouth suddenly became unhappy and raised her high. Her mood was written on her face. The men and women in love really wanted to get tired of every minute and every second.
How much blessing did Meng Hao cultivate in his previous life?
"However, Mengyao, on behalf of our whole family, I welcome you tonight. Thank you for your hard work these days." Lu Xiyan smiled and looked up.
"real?"
"I told you in person, can there be any falsehood?" Lu Xiyan smiled slightly and teased her, "Of course, if you have something to do at night, then forget it."
"No, I have time tonight." Xi Mengyao said hurriedly, and suddenly her cheeks turned red, and she was a little unrestrained.
"Then go out and do things. There should be no fewer patients today." Lu Xiyan began to lower his head and read the patient's medical records.
"Old Lu, look at today's newspaper." Suddenly, the phone on the table rang. He picked it up and answered it. Tang Jin called it in one sentence.
"Okay, I get it."
He hadn't had time to read today's newspaper that Ma Xiaowu bought for him. Since Tang Jin called him specifically for this matter, it must have been intentional.
When I opened today's newspaper, I published a message on the front page of the headlines that the Japanese military and political authorities decided to establish a "Special Committee on China".
Army Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara was appointed as the head of this agency!
This agency consists of important figures from the Army, Navy and Ministry of Foreign Affairs. What is the purpose of the Japanese government suddenly launching such an agency at this time?
Lu Xiyan is just an "ordinary" doctor. What does Tang Jin want him to read this news? He is not a roundworm in the Japanese base camp. How can he know what the Japanese want to do next?
If a spy chief is asked to be responsible for the work of this "committee", then the work of this "committee" must be related to spy spies.
Otherwise, why choose Kenji Doihara? Is there no more suitable candidate in Japan?
Lu Xiyan replied to Tang Jin: "Brother Tang, I have read the news in the newspaper. Isn't it special? Isn't it just setting up an institution? This kind of thing has nothing to do with us, the common people like us, right?"
The other end of the phone was silent for a while and said, "Go to Lao Cao at noon, I have something to say to you."
"Okay." Lu Xiyan thought for a moment and agreed.
...
At noon, Lu Xiyan went to Feifan Studio.
The business of the studio looks a bit deserted. Of course, Cao Bin doesn't care about the money. He just opened this studio for identity protection.
Also, there is a dark room in this photo studio, which is convenient for washing various photos.
"Old Lu is here."
"Where is Brother Tang?"
"Upstairs, I'm waiting for you." Cao Bin said with a chuckling.
"Brother Tang, what's going on? I can't tell you on the phone, and I'm going to come to Lao Cao?" Lu Xiyan asked when he saw Tang Jin.
"You are chatting, I'll order a meal for you. I'll deal with it here at noon today." Cao Bin sent Lu Xiyan upstairs, explained and went down.
"Lao Lu, we have known each other for half a year, right?"
"It's almost done, what's wrong?" Lu Xiyan nodded.
"You know how Tang Jin is?"
"I said to Brother Tang, what's wrong with you today? What makes you feel a bit scary when you speak." Lu Xiyan couldn't help but muttered in his heart.
"Actually, I asked you to come today to tell you a secret. Don't be surprised after hearing this." Tang Jin said.
"secret?"
"Yes, a secret that can only tell friends of life and death." Tang Jin said seriously.
"Okay, Brother Tang is willing to share this secret with me, which means that you regard me as a friend of life and death, and I am honored." Lu Xiyan nodded.
"The inspector of the Political Department of the Law Capture Office is my first level of identity. In fact, I have a second identity, that is, the intelligence officer lurking in Shanghai by the Military Control Commissioner." Tang Jin said slowly.
"Military Command!" Lu Xiyan was shocked. He knew that Tang Jin had connections with the Military Control Commission, but he never expected that Tang Jin would be a member of the Military Control Commission.
"Lao Lu, my code name is: Eight-faced Buddha. In the Military Control Commission, except Dai Yunong, everyone else only knows this code name." Tang Jin explained solemnly.
"Brother Tang, what should you ask me to say?"
"Lao Lu, your ability and talent are exactly what we need. I confess to you today that I want to ask you to join us." Tang Jin said earnestly.
"Besides you, there are also..."
"Old Cao and Qi Huan are both, and our group is code-named as Nails within the Military Control Commission." Tang Jin explained.
"Are you all military commanders?"
"Yes, all three of us are, but if you join in, you will be the fourth one." Tang Jin's eyes were filled with a strong hope.
"The outside world's evaluation of the Military Control Commission does not seem to be very high. I..." Lu Xiyan hesitated for a moment. He joined the Military Control Commission. He really never thought that he already had a good understanding of the Military Control Commission. The rules of the Military Control Commission are full of corrupt atmosphere. Although they believe in the Three Principles of the People, their "loyalty, filial piety, integrity and righteousness" were basically the same as those of the feudal dynasty.
Only the superiors, only the destiny.
The lower-ranking person becomes the tool of the superior, or even a victim.
"Old Lu, I know what you are worried about. In fact, I don't agree with some of the so-called family rules of the Military Control Commission. But we join the Military Control Commission not for individuals, but for our country and nation, as long as we can drive away the Japanese invaders, what if we go to hell?" Tang Jin said.
"Brother Tang, this is not a trivial matter. Can I allow me to think about it?" Lu Xiyan said.
"Of course, I just hope Lao Lu, you will keep this secret for us." Tang Jin nodded. As long as he did not refuse on the spot, it means there is still room for reversal.
"I will."
The sound of the door opening downstairs.
Cao Bin came up with a food box so quickly, he probably ordered it early in the morning. He just found an excuse to go out.
"Old Tang, Lao Lu, you two are rare to come here. I ordered Lao Duck Soup and give you two a good supplement!" Cao Bin put down the food box and took out the dishes inside.
There is indeed a big bowl of old duck soup.
"Come on, come on, I'll serve you this old duck soup. This family's old duck soup is very good. I guarantee that you still want to eat it after eating it."
"Well, it's not bad, Lao Cao, where is this store?" Lu Xiyan took a sip. It's not bad.
"Hehe, just walk from the alley downstairs. It's less than 250 steps. There is a banner at the door called a bowl of old duck soup. This restaurant specializes in this business. It has been decades and its craftsmanship is passed down from the family." Cao Bin said with a smile.
"Two, Kenji Doihara has come to Shanghai!"
"Kenji Doihara, is the Doihara who almost made dumplings for the National Army during the Battle of Lanfeng?" Cao Bin asked in surprise.
"Yes, it's him. He has been transferred to the base camp's staff officer. The newly established 'Special Committee on China' is led by him. This guy has always been in intelligence work. Although he has experience in leading troops, this special transfer is probably related to intelligence work. If this person arrives in Shanghai, we will not sleep peacefully." Tang Jinyi said with some advice.
"Is this one called Doihira very powerful?"
"It's not just amazing. This person is a master of China. He has been in China for many years and has spent almost half of his career in China. He has served as Zhang Zuolin's military adviser, planned to hijack Puyi to the Northeast, formed the puppet Manchukuo, conspired to plan North China Autonomousity, etc. He is behind many major events. He knows China more than many Chinese people and has many students. Takeuchi Yunko, who is the special high school class of the Shanghai Gendarmerie Command, is one of his favorite disciples." Tang Jin said.
"Is that true?" Lu Xiyan was a little surprised. Takeuchi Yunko was indeed a difficult opponent. They had already fought in secret. Although they did not suffer any losses, they did not take much advantage.
"Although Lao Lu and Kenji Doihara have come to Shanghai, they have not made public appearances. Obviously, they do not want the outside world to know his whereabouts. There must be an ulterior motive here." Tang Jin said.
"Maybe they are afraid of death?"
"Haha, maybe it's right. You can take the exam as soon as possible and give me a reply." Tang Jin said.
"Okay." Lu Xiyan nodded.
