“Where is Detective Cheng’s old family from?”

“Is Mr. Lu asking about ancestry or where he grew up?” Cheng Mo smiled slightly and asked in a rhetorical voice.

“Of course it’s the ancestral home.”

“I came to Shanghai with my sister when I was very young, where my ancestry is, it’s not really clear, but I heard her say that it seems to be the Wuhu side of Anhui Province, exactly what place, I have to go back and ask.”

“That’s very unfortunate, I’m from Taicang, Jiangsu.” Lu Jing Shi laughed.

“In fact, thirty years upwards, we belong to the same boundary of the two rivers and drink the same water from the Yangtze River, we are family.” Cheng Mo responded.

“Yes, we are family.” Lu Jingshi also laughed, “family” this is right.

Since they were family, then the words were good, and things were good.

“Establishing a secret radio station, Brother Lu, I’m afraid the British won’t agree to this, right?” Cheng Mo was also startled when he heard the conditions proposed by Lu Jingshi.

“What’s wrong with that, it’s not like the Japanese can control the radio stations in the Concession, as long as you get permission from the Bureau of Public Works, you can set up a radio station and contact us directly.” Lu Jingshi said, “This radio can use a specialized frequency and secret code, and if there is any situation, you can also communicate in time, isn’t that good?”

“This request, I’m afraid that the Bureau of Public Works will not agree to it, they can accept private exchange of intelligence, if they directly construct a direct contact, then I’m afraid it’s only impossible.” Cheng Mo said.

“Then how to ensure that this secret channel of information flows smoothly?”

“Each side will put out a trustworthy person to relay the message in the middle, one who has a legitimate occupation within the rented area, has a proper identity, and is not easily associated with the identity.”

“This one is not easy to find.” Lu Jing Shi frowned.

“If we want to construct this secret information exchange channel as soon as possible, we have to find a suitable person to do this, even if he does nothing, we have to have this person.” Cheng Mo explained.

He could do the work of two people by himself, but there had to be a person on the Junta’s side to butt heads with him, so that he could be accountable on the British side, or else the British wouldn’t know about his dual identity.

Lu Jingshi also understood Cheng Mo’s meaning.

“Okay, I’ll make the arrangements, when will that person be released?” Lu Jingshi asked.

“Anytime, but brother Lu you have to meet with Tony Kai Ziwei on behalf of the military junta, I can only operate if you two settle things down.” Cheng Mo said, things have to be done, but the details should never go wrong.

“Hmm.” Lu Jingshi secretly marveled, he didn’t expect this Cheng Mo to be so old-fashioned in his work, to be able to think of such detailed things.

When he was at this age, he was only afraid that he was not as meticulous as him.

Dinner at Elder Cao’s house, three people, wine did not eat much, almost went back separately.

The next day at work.

Cheng Mo then found Pryde to report on his meeting with Lu Jingshi, and said what Lu Jingshi had asked for.

Three items.

First, the establishment of a secret liaison radio station, which should be mentioned regardless of whether the British agreed or not.

The second was a request to meet with the head of the British intelligence service in Shanghai, who was naturally Tony Kai Ziwei.

The third was the release of Wang Zongnan and Liu Fangxiong, who had been arrested.

These three, except for the last one is already set, ransom are paid, basically there will be no change, the first two are not expected to be so easy to agree.

It depends on how Lu Jing Shi talks to the other side.

Pryde can not make the decision, it must be reported upwards, however, Cheng Mo soon got the news from Pryde.

Tony Kai Ziwei could meet Lu Jingshi, but the time and place would be arranged by him.

Of course, the person in the middle of the liaison was still Cheng Mo.

Cheng Mo gave this news to Lu Jingshi through Elder Cao, and also got a quick response, Lu Jingshi agreed to meet, and also agreed that the time and place would be set by the other party. Thus, Cheng Mo hurriedly made a call to Pryde to report the situation.

Soon the time of the meeting was finalized on the afternoon of the third day after Cheng Mo met with Lu Jingshi, and it was arranged to be held at the Xanadu Ballroom.

In addition to Tony Kaiser and Lu Jingshi, there were only Pryde and Cheng Mo, but of course Lu Jingshi had brought his bodyguards with him, so it was impossible for him to go to the appointment alone.

Even if he wasn’t worried about the British, he wouldn’t dare to take this risk.

Inside a private room on the third floor.

There were only two people, Tony Kai Ziwei and Lu Jingshi, they talked for about half an hour inside, and both of them came out with a rather relaxed expression, apparently reaching some agreement, and shook hands when they parted.

Cheng Mo also breathed a sigh of relief, if this talk fell apart, he was afraid that it would cause another complication.

“Cheng, Mr. Lu will arrange for someone to contact you, from now on you and Pryde will be in charge of this line.” Tony Kai Ziwei said to Cheng Mo, “For your actions, follow Pryde’s command, understand?”

“Understood, Sir Tony.” Cheng Mo nodded, the British really didn’t give him full authority over this matter.

“Then Wang Fangnan’s case?”

“It can be released on bail.” Tony Kai Ziwei said.

“Understood, I’ll get on with it.” Cheng Mo nodded, there were some things that couldn’t be delayed, once they were delayed, it was easy for changes to occur.

“Sensei, at noon today, Tony Kai Ziwei and Pryde and Cheng Mo went to the Senlus Ballroom, going to a ballroom in broad daylight, they must have gone to meet some important person.” Kitaro Miyamoto hurriedly knocked on the door and walked into Kiyoyuki Akagi’s office.

“Oh, what kind of person did they meet?”

“I don’t know, this matter is probably only clear to the three of them.” Miyamoto Kitaro said.

“Check, we must find out what the three of them did and who they met when they went to the Senryos Ballroom today.” Akagi Kiyoyuki ordered in a deep voice.

“Hi!”

“Inspector Cheng, you’re here again?” Jones, the assistant warden of Tilanqiao Prison, was a bit surprised to see Cheng Mo, he had an impression of this Chinese deputy detective.

“Trouble you, I’m here to come and take away two prisoners today.” Cheng Mo handed Jones the procedures he had prepared long ago.

“Bail, are you sure?”

“This has the signature of the Commissioner of Police of the Bureau of Public Works, you don’t think I have the guts to forge it, do you?” Cheng Mo laughed.

Jones laughed, he was just an assistant warden guarding the prisoners, working man only, as long as the procedure was compliant, he didn’t need to make things difficult for people.

What’s more, he could also see that Cheng Mo, a Chinese man, had a different temperament from the Chinese people he had seen in the past.

“There’s no problem with the documents, I’ll go and raise the person for you now.” Jones nodded after checking the relevant documents.

The two men, Wang Zongnan and Liu Fangxiong, were quickly escorted out, handcuffs and shackles removed, and the items they had been imprisoned with returned.

“Hello again, get in the car.”

The moment Wang Zongnan saw Cheng Mo, he couldn’t help but freeze for a moment, and was even more surprised when he learned that he was actually here to give him a bail mention.

As for Liu Fangxiong, he still didn’t know what was going on, but he could also see that after being locked up for more than three months, this was to restore his freedom.
