Chapter 129 He is a traitor
Chapter 129 He is a traitor
After hanging up the phone, Shen Mozhou left in a hurry.
He understood from Lu Mingxuan's attitude that this person would not be easy to save. Fortunately, the higher-ups did not set a deadline for him, but only asked him to save the person.
The French are furious right now and definitely won't be able to get them out. When you see Lu Mingxuan tonight, ask him to look after the people at Shanghai Station and come back to rescue them later.
Inside the newspaper office, everyone had a smile on their face. All three thousand copies of the reprinted newspaper sold out by noon.
The news article that the editor-in-chief managed to snag was amazing; it sold several thousand more copies than usual.
"Send this telegram to the boss."
Su Yuncheng wrote a telegram and had Huang Chuanming send it to Mutō Tomohō.
In addition to reporting the newspaper's latest achievements, the telegram also provided a detailed account of the battle between the Shanghai station and the Special Higher Police.
In fact, most of the details were already published in the newspapers, so Huang Chuanming was not surprised.
In Chengdu, Tomoo Muto soon received the telegram.
He put the telegram away with satisfaction. Su Yuncheng was indeed outstanding; the newspaper's sales had already exceeded 20,000 copies in such a short time. It was only a matter of time before he personally founded a major newspaper.
As for the dogfight between the Shanghai station and the Special Higher Police, Su Yuncheng was right; he just treated it as a joke.
Su Yuncheng reported on Qian Hao's matter. Qian Hao confessed in public at the police station, and it could not be hidden, so it was written in the newspaper.
This can boost newspaper sales.
Qian Hao, the mole, did indeed play a significant role in increasing newspaper sales.
The assassination of each other by spies is already captivating, but the addition of an internal spy makes it even more attention-grabbing, as this isn't just a story but a real event.
Many people are buying Su Yuncheng's newspaper for the first time today.
Once they buy it, they'll remember the newspaper.
The likelihood of buying it again in the future will increase significantly.
The police stations in the French Concession were busy all day, but they still couldn't catch the people from Shanghai Station and the Special Higher Police.
Given the efficiency of the police patrols, it's simply impossible for them to catch him.
The failure to catch the suspect was not entirely Lu Mingxuan's fault. He was only in charge of the Xiafei Road police station, especially the border checkpoint, where there were French troops stationed.
They are the main force behind the arrests.
That evening, Lu Mingxuan finally left the police station, where Shen Mozhou was already waiting near his home.
"Chief Inspector Lu, it's been a long time."
Lu Mingxuan parked the car but did not get out. Sure enough, Shen Mozhou came over a moment later and got into the car.
Lu Mingxuan pulled the curtain closed in the car, looked at Shen Mozhou, and asked angrily, "What exactly are you trying to do? Do you know how serious this is?"
Dylan wasn't so easy to please. If he hadn't invited Su Yuncheng over beforehand, this hurdle wouldn't have been so easy to overcome.
Just because Dylan didn't punish him in public doesn't mean he's completely safe.
If anything goes wrong later, his position as chief inspector could really be in danger.
"This operation was carried out at the Shanghai station. I was unaware of it beforehand. They were infiltrated. It was a traitor who betrayed them. The Japanese were deliberately retaliating."
Shen Mozhou sighed. He knew that this matter had indeed caused Lu Mingxuan a lot of trouble.
"I know he's a traitor, and I'm the one who interrogated him, but can you please stop killing people so easily, especially in my territory?"
Lu Mingxuan questioned, "Making trouble in his jurisdiction is just asking for trouble."
"I will report this to headquarters and ask them to tell Station Chief Wang to try to minimize the trouble for you in the future."
Shen Mozhou responded, and Lu Mingxuan's expression finally improved.
Although he helped the Special Service Department, he was different from Hu Bang'an; he did not belong to the Special Service Department and could only be considered an outsider.
In his heart, nothing is more important than himself.
"Qian Hao must be left with the Special Service Department, as well as the operative you captured. I know we can't save him now, but I would appreciate it if you could help look after him."
Shen Mozhou said quickly, and Lu Mingxuan nodded without hesitation: "Don't worry, I've already secretly taken care of him."
There are some things that Lu Mingxuan can achieve the desired effect without explicitly stating them.
For example, this time, Qian Hao is an inside man, so Lu Mingxuan definitely won't take any care of him; he'll just keep quiet about it.
Most of the police officers under his command were Chinese, and although they were in the French Concession, their Chinese identity could not be changed.
No Chinese person likes a traitor, unless they are a traitor themselves.
Qian Hao works for the Japanese; he is a traitor. Locking him up with others and revealing his identity would make it impossible for him to defeat so many people, even though he is quite skilled.
Moreover, he had been punished, and the beatings he received were mild.
As for the team member, Lu Mingxuan only mentioned him casually during the meeting.
It is said that the personnel at Shanghai Station are quite capable.
Despite facing a larger number of Japanese soldiers and being ambushed, they still managed to kill and wound several of their opponents. These men were true heroes.
That's enough.
The operative was wounded and captured while fighting the Japanese. Normal Chinese people wouldn't target him; they would even secretly take care of him.
However, this only meant not abusing him and putting him in a better cell.
To improve his life in prison, the Shanghai Railway Station needs to provide funding.
Paying the money is no problem; the Shanghai station will cover it.
As long as the money is paid, this operative is willing to live a life of luxury, treating this period as a time to recover from his injuries.
"Thank you, I'll be going now."
Shen Mozhou got out of the car immediately. He said that the rescue should be done slowly, and Lu Mingxuan should just take care of his own people.
As for the money that needs to be spent, that's a matter for the Shanghai station, and has nothing to do with him.
He is even less likely to show up.
After Shen Mozhou left for a while, Lu Mingxuan got out of the car. There was no one around at this time.
Chen Yansheng remained on guard, and no one noticed them.
"Mr. Meng."
In the evening, Huang Chuanming arrived at Lao Meng's place on time; today was their usual meeting day.
Old Meng is currently considering whether to change their weekly meetings to once a month.
Huang Chuanming can only come to him under special circumstances.
Reducing contact is a way to protect Huang Chuanming.
"Sit down and talk."
Old Meng poured hot water for Huang Chuanming, who then asked, "Have you read today's newspaper?"
"I read it. Your article was well-written, but it doesn't seem like your writing style. Who wrote it?"
Old Meng nodded. He knew Huang Chuanming very well and had read many of Huang Chuanming's writings. He could naturally tell whether a news article was written by Huang Chuanming or not.
"It was written by Editor-in-Chief Su himself. He went to the scene last night and participated in the interrogation, so he knows a lot of inside information."
Huang Chuanming immediately replied that these were originally the intelligence reports to be submitted today, but Su Yuncheng published them directly in the newspaper, making them known to everyone.
However, there were still some details that were not mentioned in the newspaper, and Huang Chuanming reported these details to the newspaper.
"The Japanese are everywhere, and the Shanghai station of the Special Service has suffered a loss this time. They probably won't let it go."
Old Meng sighed. Although the Special Service Department was also hostile to them, they were still Chinese after all.
For them, Japan was the external enemy, the real foe.
Now that their national strength is weak while Japan is strong, everyone in the country should unite to drive the Japanese out of Northeast China and Korea. Otherwise, the entire land of China may face danger in the future.
The Red Party has this understanding, but unfortunately, the KMT members don't think so.
Especially their Principal Chang.
