Chapter 14 Shanghai Spy Shots
One of the reasons why Lu Yuan went to Shanghai was to find a well-equipped metal processing factory so that he could refit the two Japanese [-] rifles he had packed in his luggage.The other is to prepare for the upcoming Songhu battle. No matter whether the modification of the [-] cloth rifle is successful or not, Lu Yuan must participate in the Songhu battle.With a full-view map and storage space in hand, Lu Yuan is absolutely sure to survive the brutal street fighting on the Songhu battlefield. Wherever there are Japanese soldiers, Lu Yuan will go there. In order to save enough killing points to return to his family, Lu Yuan Yuan has chosen to forget all dangers and variables.

After leaving Zhangjiakou, Lu Yuan chose to go straight to Peiping with a caravan, and then diverted from Tianjin to Shanghai by sea.Relying on his two gold finger skills, Lu Yuan walked this journey without any risk. If this journey is placed in later generations, whether it is by train, plane or long-distance bus, from Zhangjiakou to Tianjin and then to Shanghai It will not take more than a week, but now, it took Lu Yuan a whole month to arrive in Shanghai.

The Shili foreign market in Shanghai decades ago seemed to have a fatal temptation for Lu Yuan, who came from later generations.Although Lu Yuan has been to Shanghai more than once in later generations, he has never been able to see the scene of Shanghai decades ago with his own eyes like now.It was already the end of June, and there was only one and a half months left before the Battle of Songhu broke out. Lu Yuan, who stepped off the side of the ship, refused the rickshaw driver's approach, and instead carried a cowhide backpack and followed the flow of people, aimlessly in the city of SH walking.

Compared with Shanghai decades later, Shanghai in this era does not have as many high-rise buildings as in later generations, but it can definitely be called a bustling city, especially after Lu Yuan entered the concession, the lively scenes on both sides of the street became even more lively. It made Lu Yuan linger.There are many shops on both sides of the street, the road is full of traffic, the streets are bustling with people, and the entrances of nightclubs, grand theaters, cafes, and bars are even more crowded, which makes people feel that the place is infinitely prosperous.

According to the advice of the British first officer on the ship and the situation he inquired along the way, Lu Yuan found an apartment building run by a Belarusian not far from the patrol house in the French Concession. rented a room.There are many apartment buildings in the concession run by Belarusians like this. Although Lu Yuan paid a lot of money for the rent, he is very satisfied with the facilities in the room and the location here.

After spending two extra dollars, Lu Yuan inquired about the information he was interested in from the white Russian landlady who had been chattering.After bathing and changing clothes, after nightfall, Lu Yuan, who walked out of the residence and went to the street again, has a new look. The Shanghai beach under the night is more prosperous than during the day. However, the prosperous Shanghai at this time is much worse than the Shanghai in later generations.

Hearing the tram passing the intersection with the unique sound of "ding ding" in the distance, Lu Yuan walked aimlessly on the street. What he saw in front of him made Lu Yuan secretly sigh with emotion. Shanghai, a place full of Chinese and Western cultures, known as the "Pearl of the Orient" and "Adventurer's Paradise", seems to be really lively.In fact, Lu Yuan didn't know that only Shanghai, where the lights were just lit up, was the place called the Oriental Metropolis by the Westerners. When the Japanese were about to show their fangs with coveted China, in the city of Shanghai, there were more day-to-day life. People who live in drunken dreams.

Lu Yuan wandered aimlessly along the street until he arrived near the famous Paramount Ballroom in Shanghai Bund without knowing it.The Paramount Ballroom is the best among the many dance halls in Shanghai. Many celebrities and tycoons in Shanghai like to come here to spend a lot of money, and even agents and spies from various countries like to come here to pass and exchange information. Are you not coming?" Outside the Paramount Ballroom, Xie Chen, disguised as a rickshaw driver, looked around and asked Xu Huaishan who was sitting next to him in a low voice.

Xu Huaishan also pretended to be a rickshaw driver. Compared with the young Xie Chen, Xu Huaishan had been lurking in Shanghai for more than four years in his early years. Originally, he should not have brought Xie Chen to this joint mission, but Xu Huaishan still brought Xie Chen here to give the young comrades a chance to execute. The opportunity of the task is also to allow them to grow faster.

Hippo is the nickname of an insider. Xu Huanshan and Xie Chen will come to Paramount in disguise this time to connect with this insider nicknamed Hippo.Xu Huaishan has never met this famous hippopotamus, but he has admired hippopotamus for a long time. This insider nicknamed hippopotamus has provided important information to the underground party many times.Xu Huanshan is not a liaison officer who specializes in contacting hippopotamuses. If it weren't for the fact that a secret stronghold of the underground party was detected by the Kuomintang spy agency last month, Xu Huanshan, who should have left Shanghai and returned to the Soviet area, would not have been ordered to continue lurking in Shanghai.

Whether it is the underground party or the Kuomintang, they are all very interested in this famous hippopotamus, but because of the mystery of the other party, few people have seen the true face of the hippopotamus.Looking down at his watch, Xu Huanshan looked up at another member of the underground party who was more than ten meters away from him. The appointment with Hippo was about to arrive, but Xu Huanshan hadn't found him yet.More than ten meters to the left of Xu Huanshan and Xie Chen, there was another member of the underground party disguised as a sugarcane peddler. If something happened to Xu Huanshan, the member of the underground party disguised as a peddler would be Xu Huanshan's backup.

Xu Huanshan did not find any trace of the hippopotamus, but Lu Yuan, who was squatting on the corner of the street and secretly looking at the Paramount Ballroom, had already noticed Xu Huanshan who was disguised as a rickshaw driver. Among the rickshaw drivers who are accustomed to using white towels, a driver with blue towels suddenly appeared, which made people look a bit abrupt.Besides, Lu Yuan didn't think that a guy who supported his family by pulling a rickshaw would have the money to buy a watch.

Lu Yuan has watched too many spy war movies and novels in his later life. Based on his first impression, Lu Yuan can basically believe that this suspicious rickshaw driver is definitely not an ordinary person.In other words, if this guy is not a gangster desperado who wandered around the rivers and lakes, there are only two options left, either a spy or a so-called underground party.In later generations, Lu Yuan used to be a senior otaku who knew everything about the world without leaving home. With the influence of his family members, Lu Yuan's ability to know people is not small.But now, Xu Huanshan has been identified by Lu Yuan as a suspicious person. Anyway, he has nothing to do, so Lu Yuan intends to see what this suspicious person wants to do.

Lu Yuan discovered Xu Huanshan's strangeness, but Xu Huanshan didn't see Lu Yuan's strangeness, time passed little by little under Lu Yuan's secret observation.The time for the meeting had already passed, but Xu Huanshan and Xie Chen still didn't find any trace of the hippopotamus. Xie Chen couldn't help becoming impatient. The rickshaw driver really looked abnormal.

Just when Xu Huanshan felt that Xie Chen's behavior was a bit abnormal, a middle-aged man dressed in Western style walked out of the Paramount Ballroom slowly. From the familiarity between the doorman and the middle-aged man, it was not difficult to see that This middle-aged man is a frequent visitor to the Paramount Ballroom.

The middle-aged man who walked forward did not look around, but secretly observed the movement and abnormalities around him with the corner of his eye. In a blink of an eye, the middle-aged man had already walked in front of Xu Huanshan. "Let your car go to the Bund, 10 yuan is okay? But I only have US dollars." The middle-aged man walked up to Xu Huanshan nonchalantly, and without waiting for Xu Huanshan's answer, he lifted his legs and got into Xu Huanshan's rickshaw.

Xu Huanshan was startled, because what the other party said just now was the street code agreed with Hippo. According to the agreed code, Xu Huanshan should shake his head and answer at this time, no, I only accept legal currency here.Before answering the secret signal, Xu Huanshan turned his face and glanced at the other party, but Xu Huanshan was taken aback by what he saw.

The age of the other party seems to be about the same age as Xu Huanshan himself. This person is dressed in Western style, which is different from the tweed suits that those young people in Shanghai often wear. There is a big difference, and the tailoring is also very fine and fit.The most important thing is that even Xu Huanshan can tell that the material of the clothes is quite high-end, it looks light but very flimsy, it looks like high-end goods.

Although he couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly, Xu Huanshan felt that there was a trace of elegance between the brows of this person, which was quite different from what he had expected in advance.Xu Huanshan, who was disguised as a rickshaw driver, did not answer the other party immediately. Instead, he glanced left and right with complicated eyes and a vigilant expression, and then turned to look at the pedestrians in suits, leather shoes, or long gowns and cheongsams on the street. The vigilant companion found nothing unusual, so he turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man who was already sitting in the rickshaw again.

But when Xu Huanshan opened his mouth to speak, Xie Chen, who was sitting next to him, suddenly turned his face to look at the middle-aged man sitting in the rickshaw, and asked impatiently, "Why are you here now?" We have been waiting for a long time." Xie Chen's sudden question made the middle-aged man on the rickshaw frown, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart. Before Xu Huanshan could speak, the The middle-aged man got off the rickshaw and left without looking back.
