"Lu Wei, you go out first." Chen Miao entered the archives and drove Lu Wei, the library manager who had sorted out the archives inside, directly out.

Lu Wei dared not say a word. He obediently put down his work, lowered his head and walked out, and even locked them up.

"Just say anything?" Chen Miao said casually.

"Sanshui, we are colleagues at least. When you come to you, you won't even give me a sip of water, right?" Chen Mingchu said with a chuckling.

"If you want to drink water, pour it yourself, there is a cup."

"Oh, my cup is not good..." Chen Miao suddenly pressed down his water cup and said.

"Stingy, why not just a cup of water to drink, what else can I do?" Chen Mingchu walked over, took a cup from the tea tray, picked up a thermos, poured half a cup of hot water for himself, walked over, and sat down opposite Chen Miao.

"I don't like to share a water cup with others, don't say it doesn't matter." Chen Miao snorted coldly, "Stop talking nonsense, say it quickly if you have something to do."

"Sanshui, you never thought that last night's assassination was for you?" Chen Mingchu blew a breath into the hot water and said slowly.

"I knew that there was nothing good about you to hold it in." Chen Miao snorted, "If you came to me, the killer should have shot me immediately. Lao Ma was wearing a hospital uniform. Unless the killer was blind, can he not see this?"

"Then how do you explain that the killer was hanging upside down in your car and fled to the hospital?" Chen Mingchu asked slowly and took a sip of water.

"Are you talking about the half bloody handprint under the car door on my left?" Chen Miao asked calmly.

"Do you know?" Chen Mingchu was a little surprised.

"Actually, Lao Ma and I knew it shortly after we returned to the guesthouse, and I also knew when the killer left under my car and where he left." Chen Miao smiled slightly.

"Why didn't you say it at the meeting just now?"

"Why did I say it? What does this matter have to do with me? Although I didn't say it, you are just guessing. It can't prove anything with half a blood mark." Chen Miao smiled and said, "If you make a mistake, isn't this misleading the investigation of the case?"

"You and I know that there are not many such masters in Shanghai, but it is not difficult to find such masters in the Military Control Commission." Chen Mingchu said.

"What do you want to say?"

"Others don't know that, they will underestimate your combat effectiveness and think that this time you are just lucky and saved Lao Ma, but I know that you save him by strength. You understand what I mean." Chen Mingchu said, "I'll remind you that this time it's Lao Ma, and the next time it may be you."

"You are still ahead of me on the military command blacklist."

"Anyway, I'm reminding you, whether you listen or not, I don't expect to bow three times to you when the memorial service is held." Chen Mingchu said.

"I hope I didn't bow to you!"

"Don't worry, there won't be that day." Chen Mingchu got up, opened the door and left.

...

Chen Mingchu would not say these words to him for no reason. Chen Miao understood this very well. He must have known something, but he could not tell him clearly.

Could it be that the Military Control Commission really have a plan to assassinate itself?

If so, why would Zheng Jiayuan not know about it? Or even Zheng Jiayuan concealed the plan, or Shanghai itself did not know about it.

This is impossible. The headquarters knows his identity. How could it be possible to directly assassinate himself? He has completely gained Lin Shiqun's trust. There is no need to make the enemy trust him through a bitter trick.

If it's a bitter plan, why not notify yourself?

Without my own cooperation, once the bitter plan becomes true, if the plan fails, everything will be irreversible. Or is this Chen Mingchu deliberately creating panic for himself?

But, he has no reason to do so now...

Chen Miao was confused for a moment when he was a little confused about which one was the truth of the matter.

"Director Chen, Director Lin invites you to his office." A knock on the door suddenly came, and Lin Shiqun's on-duty secretary Zhuang Ying came in and notified him.

"Okay, Secretary Zhuang, I'll go now." Chen Miao closed his work notepad and stood up to respond.

Zhuang Ying nodded slightly.

...

"Sanshui is here, sit down and wait for me to approve this document."

“Yes, Director.”

Lin Shiqun closed the approved documents and asked the secretary to take them out. Then he stood up and walked towards Chen Miao: "A meeting in the morning, you and Lao Ma sang well on the double act. You didn't rehearse in advance, right?"

"No, we both thought about it. Some things should not be known to outsiders now." Chen Miao smiled slightly.

"Well, Lao Ma is showing his attitude now. It may not be a good thing for us. Let him stay neutral first." Lin Shiqun said, "By the way, what do you think of Lao Ma's assassination?"

"Director Ma has made great efforts in arresting Chongqing elements and supporting Mr. Wang's peace movement. Naturally, he is jealous of some radicals who do not understand, especially those in the Military Commission Blue-Clothing Society. They have never stopped assassinating our agents and new government officials. Although our attacks are very strong, it is difficult to catch them all in one go. The main reason is that the concession is not our place. In order to ensure their interests, those foreigners indulge and protect those terrorists openly and secretly. If they cannot recover the concession and completely strangle their living space, it will be difficult to solve this problem from the root." Chen Miao thought for a moment.

"Well, Sanshui, you are still very visionary and overall. I appreciate your point. However, Japan is convenient for now and has no intention of sending troops to the concession. Although Germany has occupied Poland, the strength of the British and French coalition forces cannot be underestimated. At this time, angering Europe and the United States will do more harm than good for Japan. Therefore, we may have to let go of the concession plan first." Lin Shiqun said.

"Is this what you mean, or what Meiji means?"

"It's my meaning, and it's the Mei agency. The Concession Commando has now become a bottomless pit, with internal fraud and corruption. We spend so much money every month, but we can't see any results. It's better to spend money elsewhere." Lin Shiqun said.

"Then what you mean is to disband the Concession Commando?" Chen Miao said in surprise.

"No, I want to streamline institutions and personnel, leave behind the useful ones, and remove all those who eat and drink." Lin Shiqun said.

"Then what are you asking me to do?"

"I want to leave this to you. At present, the number of people in the concession commando team has exceeded 500, and the monthly funds are insufficient. The agent headquarters still needs to grow and grow. There are too many places to use money, so you can find a way to help me lay off at least half of the people." Lin Shiqun said.

"Director, these are all opportunists, and they all have their own hills behind them. You are setting me on the fire to roast me." Chen Miao said with a wry smile.

"Now No. 76, I really can't find anyone who can take over the Concession Commando except you." Lin Shiqun patted Chen Miao's shoulder and said, "Sanshui, the existence of the Concession Commando is originally kept confidential and cannot be known to the concession authorities, otherwise we will be passive."

"Director, what should I do if the personnel removed?"

"You see this arrangement. The captains can also help arrange some of them. As long as you agree to take over, I will tell them to withdraw, cut and reduce the captains." Lin Shiqun said.

"Then the Concession Commando will die in name only?"

"No, I need a more capable force that can always be followed by my command." Lin Shiqun explained, "Do you understand what I mean?"

Chen Miao was shocked and Lin Shiqun's intentions were understood. He was currently at a disadvantage in the fight with Ding Mohan. Once he was kicked out of No. 76, he needed a force that could support him to make a comeback. The burden of "Concession Commando" had value in exploitation.

Moreover, Ding Mohan would not care about stripping away such a tumor that parasitizes blood-sucking on No. 76.

Moreover, the "Concession Commando" was not formally organized by No. 76, but was just a temporary secret organization within. The purpose was to seize the concession and was shameless.

"Sanshui still doesn't understand?"

"Didn't you rent a house with a storefront on Singapore Road? After the concession commando personnel are streamlined and severed, the organization will be in your inspection room, and the funds for the concession commando will be directly allocated to the inspection room."

"Director, this is not appropriate. Can Director Ding agree?"

"It's not okay if he doesn't agree. Now the monthly fund of the concession commando is as high as 80,000 yuan, which is 30,000 yuan higher than the original regulations. After the streamlining and merger, you only need to give up at most 30,000 yuan, one inversion and one incorrection, how much money is saved? Do you think about it?" Lin Shiqun said.

"I obey the director's orders, but when will it start?" Chen Miao asked.

"You first familiarize yourself with the personnel arrangement of the Concession Commando. When will it start? Wait for my notice." Lin Shiqun lit the ball, "By the way, there is another thing, I plan to let you and Xia Zhongming go together."

"Director, what's the matter?"

"The day after tomorrow, a Japanese economic delegation came to Shanghai. The main purpose of the delegation was to help the new government formulate an economic recovery plan. It will hold talks with Mr. Wang later, requiring all departments of the new government to send people to attend the reception, and people also need to send people to participate on the 76th." Lin Shiqun said.

"Director, I don't understand economics, what are you sending me to do?" Chen Miao's heart moved. How could it be such a coincidence?

"Economics and military are closely integrated. I send you there, just to hope that you can contact more people from the inspection team and collect relevant information. Don't forget your old job." Lin Shiqun said with a smile.

"I understand what you mean, just let me understand the details of this economic investigation team." Chen Miao understood. Lin Shiqun chose him to go and also had the purpose of understanding the Japanese economic investigation team. It seems that Wang is not completely obedient to Japan.

This is normal. Even close couples have their own ideas, and they are not the puppet of who is who.

"Smart, this is also the task Mr. Zhou gave me."

"Can I change my identity?"

"What identity do you want to go there?"

"Reporter, how about it? My photography skills are OK and should not be exposed." Chen Miao said, "If you go as the director of the Inspection Office No. 76, you probably won't be able to ask anything."

"How is your Japanese level?"

"Listen, what you write is OK, but it's a bit forced to say it." Chen Miao said.

"In this way, you can go there as a reporter from the Social News newspaper. In terms of reception, I'll send another person to Xia Zhongming." Lin Shiqun thought for a moment and ordered.

"Did you let me go directly as a reporter?"

"Well, but, in this way, you have to be more careful, don't let people recognize it." Lin Shiqun reminded.

"clear."
