Spy Wars: I am the Captain of the Military Police

After hanging up the phone, Shen Xilin raised his hand and put the wine glass to his mouth, thinking of taking a sip to relieve his tension.

Zhang Jinhui led people to arrest Fang Junnian! This news came too suddenly.

However, considering that Fang Junnian often made anti-Japanese remarks in newspapers by relying on his location in the French Concession, it was normal for him to be targeted.

However, there were many people like Fang Junnian in the Tianjin Concession at that time.

The fighting in Tianjin had just ended, and Shen Xilin thought that the Japanese should not have the energy to settle accounts with people like Fang Junnian.

Shen Xilin had made up his mind. He would go to meet Fang Junnian in two days and try every means to get Fang Junnian to take Mo Yanping away from Tianjin.

But I didn’t expect the arrest to come so quickly and so suddenly.

Pursing his lips and putting down the wine glass, Shen Xilin picked up the phone again and dialed.

After telling the operator where I wanted to be connected, I waited for more than half a minute before the call was picked up.

"Hello, who is this?" came a slightly impatient voice.

"Haha, Director Pan is sleeping. Why didn't he play mahjong today?" Shen Xilin said jokingly.

"Oh, Brother Shen, I'm not lucky today. I lost a lot and quit halfway through the game." Director Pan of Maochuan Mansion said in a daze on the phone: "Hey, Brother Shen, why are you calling me at this time? Didn't you go dancing?"

"Haha, just like Director Pan, there's something going on." Shen Xilin perfunctorily replied, and then asked tentatively: "By the way, Director Pan, I heard that Maochuan Mansion will take action tonight, why didn't you notify me, the head of the intelligence department?"

"Action? No! How did you hear that we were taking action, Brother Shen?" Director Pan on the opposite side was stunned for a moment, and then his tone became obviously more energetic.

"It's like this. I heard that Captain Zhang of the action team took his brothers to the French Concession tonight to get weapons and equipment. It seems that there is some action going on. I came to ask you, Director Pan.

After all, I am the section chief, so it would be unreasonable if I didn’t know anything.”

"It seems that Brother Shen is really well-informed. You know things that even I, the director, don't know."

Shen Xilin's face darkened. He knew he shouldn't make this call today, but he had to make it because Director Pan knew the relationship between him and Fang Junnian.

And the few spies he had developed in Maochuan Mansion were not the kind of people who kept their mouths shut. If Director Pan knew afterwards that he had known about Fang Junnian's arrest for a long time but had not reacted at all, it would inevitably arouse unnecessary suspicion.

"Please don't misunderstand me, Director Pan. I don't really want to know. I just heard that Captain Zhang went to arrest my old classmate Fang Junnian today, so I thought of coming to Director Pan to ask about the situation."

"Fang Junnian?" Director Pan on the other side was silent for a while before continuing, "I really don't know anything about this matter. But Brother Shen, I'm not saying anything bad about you. I've already told you that Fang Junnian is a trouble. Don't get involved with him."

"I understand that. I was just asking casually. When I was at Yanjing University, I had some friendship with Fang Junnian."

"Friendship is friendship, don't get involved in other aspects. The articles Fang Junnian publishes are too much, and sooner or later something bad will happen. You are a smart person, you know what I mean," Director Pan said earnestly.

"Thank you Director Pan for the reminder. It looks like my old classmate is really going to be in trouble this time." Shen Xilin said in a happy tone, but there was no joy on his face. Instead, his brows were furrowed even more.

"Uh... Haha, Brother Shen, Brother Shen, blame me! Blame me! It seems that I misunderstood you. I was confused because of sleep. If you ask who in Tianjin most hopes that Fang Junnian will get into trouble, it must be you.

Oh, I'm old! My brain is not very smart. Why didn't I think of this? I said too much.

I really don't know about Fang Junnian's affairs, but don't worry, Brother Shen, your old classmate Mo Yanping should be fine. She's just a woman, what big of a problem can she have. Don't worry, Brother Shen! Hahaha."

Shen Xilin followed Director Pan's tone, chatted for a few more words, and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Xilin leaned back on the sofa. His complex face left the illumination of the desk lamp and fell into darkness.

He could do nothing now and could only stay quietly in the Donghua Trading Company and wait for further news. . . .

On the other side, Shao Laoshuan, the doorman of the Gongbei Telephone Bureau in the French Concession in Tianjin, was the underground party member who contacted Banjing Yuda when Zhou Zhengqing and others first arrived in Tianjin.

It was already early morning, and because a large number of wealthy people had poured into the concession, the telephone office was very busy, and he, as the doorman, was on duty at the telephone office all day long.

At this time, Shao Laoshuan, carrying a pot of wine, slowly came to the Gongbei Police Station opposite the telephone office.

Because the telephone office and the police station were on opposite sides of the same street, most people in the police station knew Shao Laoshuan, the doorman of the telephone office opposite.

In addition, Shao Laoshuan was a person who liked to make friends, so many people in the police station liked to chat with Shao Laoshuan.

As soon as I reached the door, I saw a young patrolman holding a baton and preparing to go out.

"Hey, Xiao Li."

When the young policeman heard someone shouting, he looked up and saw that it was Shao Laoshuan, and he also responded with a smile: "Shao Bo."

"Is Lao Han here? This is the good wine Lao Han asked me to bring this morning. I knew he was on duty tonight, so I brought it to him to try."

The patrolman named Xiao Li came over to the wine pot and sniffed it, then raised his hand and gave a thumbs-up: "As expected of Shao Bo, the connections are wide, and this wine smells good. Old Han is in there, he just came back from patrol, I saw him go to the warehouse."

"Thanks. I'll go check it out and bring you a pot some other day."

"Thank you very much, Shao Bo. You can go in first."

When we entered the police station, it was night time and most of the people on duty were Chinese. Those French police chiefs and the like had already gone off work, let alone the night shift.

It was because Shao Laoshuan knew this that he walked into the police station with such arrogance.

Along the way, every patrolman he met would greet Shao Laoshuan, not for any other reason, but because of the persona Shao Laoshuan created for himself, an old man with a gang background, who liked to help others and had connections.

After chatting with a few people for a while, Shao Laoshuan came to the warehouse of the police station.

This warehouse is where the police station stores guns and ammunition. Shao Laoshuan came here alone, but no policeman stopped him. This shows that Shao Laoshuan is really familiar with the police station.

When I pushed open the warehouse door, I saw Han Shusen, who had met Fang Junnian before, fiddling with the shelves.

"Lao Shao, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

"I got you a jug of good wine."

The two of them spoke loudly, loud enough for people passing by outside to hear.

"Look, there's still one more delivery. I'll just pick it up after get off work."

"The doorman has nothing to do today, so he came over for a walk." Shao Laoshuan also responded with a loud laugh.

As the two approached, Han Shusen and Shao Laoshuan both looked towards the door, and then Han Shusen whispered, "What happened?"

Shao Laoshuan's expression changed, then he sighed and whispered, "Something happened to Fang Junnian."

"Ah! I just met him and had a few drinks with him in the bar! What happened?" Han Shusen was shocked.

"The person who went out to repair the line at the telephone bureau just now came back and said that he saw Fang Junnian being forced to jump off the building by the secret agents."
