Autumn, 1936.
Shanghai, pier.
A man carrying a box came out of the dock.
The man was about 20 years old and 1.8 meters tall. He was wearing a black suit and a black top hat. The brim of his hat was very low and he wore black sunglasses. He had a cigarette in his mouth and was smoking.
His name was Liang Xiao. Before he transmigrated, he was a complete spy mystery. He liked to watch spy dramas and spy novels, but he preferred real spy records.
An accident had brought him to this war-torn era and possessed the unlucky Liang Xiao.
The unlucky Liang Xiao was from Sucheng. He graduated from Huangpu Military Academy and was once a trainee platoon leader and captain of the First Division. At the end of last year, he was transferred to the country to learn special agent skills.
At the end of last month, Liang Xiao's illness suddenly acted up and he died.
Liang Xiao, who had transmigrated, had inherited Liang Xiao's identity and memories.
A few days ago, he graduated from a special agent base in the country and returned to China.
Liang Xiao was wearing sunglasses and enjoying the Shanghai Bund of this era. It was just like the Shanghai Bund in the TV series, bustling and bustling.
A man in a white shirt entered his line of sight.
This man was wearing a suit, leather shoes, and a white shirt. He carried a cigarette box on his back and shouted to sell cigarettes everywhere. His eyes kept looking around as if he was looking for someone.
As he expected, this person should be a field worker sent by the military commander to pick him up.
He took a few puffs of his cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and stepped on it a few times until it was smashed into pieces.
He carried the box and walked towards the man.
"Liang Xiao." He walked up to the man and reported his name.
When the man heard his name, his legs snapped together, and he puffed out his chest and said,"This humble servant is Wang Heping, member of the third team of the Shanghai Station Field Service.”
"Thank you for your hard work." Liang Xiao lightly nodded.
" The car is parked outside the dock," Wang Heping said." The accommodation has been arranged. Officer Liang, please follow me."”He then took the box from Liang Xiao.
Liang Xiao smiled and followed Wang Heping out of the dock.
He was picked up by a canvas jeep.
Wang Heping placed the box in the back and got into the driver's seat. Liang Xiao sat in the front passenger seat and observed the surroundings with a pair of cold eyes. If there was any abnormality, it would not escape his eyes.
The jeep started and drove towards the Peace Hotel on Xiafei Road.
The car sped along the streets. At this time, there were very few cars on the beach, unlike a few decades later, where every household had a car.
Liang Xiao looked at the streets on both sides, thinking that this was the Shanghai Bund of the Republic of China, a city that never sleeps, a rich alley in troubled times.
Out of habit, he knocked on the car door with his fingers.
Suddenly, a strange thought appeared in his mind.
"The station chief ordered me to entertain Officer Liang well. I heard that Officer Liang is a student of the emperor and has just graduated from the country.”
"There's a high-class dance hall on the street of the Peace Hotel. I'll spend some money tonight to invite Officer Liang to have a good time. I wonder if Officer Liang will give him face.”
"If we can get close to Officer Liang, we will have a chance to return to the General Headquarters.”
This strange thought came from Wang Heping, who was beside him.
The reason why he could hear Wang Heping's thoughts was because he had the ability to read minds.
As long as the other party touched something at the same time as him, he could know what the other party was thinking.
"How is the spy work in Shanghai?”Liang Xiao asked casually.
Wang Heping immediately replied," The Japanese spies in Shanghai are very well-hidden. We've only caught a few small fries. So far, we haven't caught any important Japanese figures."”
"However, Officer Liang will definitely be able to wipe out these Japanese spies after he returns from the country.”
Wang Heping said a few nice words without leaving a trace. He thought to himself, What's so great about coming back from the country? Catching spies is not child's play. If you have the ability, try catching a few Japanese spies.
All these thoughts appeared in Liang Xiao's mind.
He smiled and retracted his hand that was knocking on the door.
As long as he didn't touch Wang Heping's body or the same object, he wouldn't be able to read Wang Heping's thoughts.
The Peace Hotel on Xiafei Road was located in the most prosperous area of Shanghai. The decorations were extremely luxurious and it was one of the high-end social venues.
Liang Xiao walked into the lobby of the Peace Hotel and looked around. It was indeed the best hotel in the Far East. It was majestic and luxurious, even better than the five-star hotels in the future.
Wang Heping took the key from the front desk, and the two of them took the elevator to the reserved room.
Wang Heping carefully put down the box and said respectfully,""Sir, do you have any other instructions?"
"It's okay. You can go back to work." Liang Xiao said indifferently.
Wang Heping hesitated for a moment and smiled obsequiously." Sir, is this your first time in Shanghai?"”
It was indeed Liang Xiao's first time in the bustling Shanghai. He smiled and nodded.
"There's a high-end dance hall nearby. Are you interested in playing, sir?”Wang Heping thought that this Officer Liang was young and vigorous. It was his first time coming to Shanghai, so he definitely wanted to go to a place full of debauchery to see.
"Alright, come pick me up when it's dark." Liang Xiao agreed. Apart from Wang Heping's thoughts, he also wanted to go and see the dance that was popular in this era.
Wang Heping's face was full of smiles as he bowed and walked out, closing the door behind him.
After he left, Liang Xiao's expression turned cold. He opened his suitcase and took out a brand new Browning pistol from under his clothes. After checking the ammunition, he skillfully put it on his waist.
In this chaotic world, guns were the best amulet.
The Japanese spies in Shanghai were very powerful. If they were not careful, their identities could be exposed. After all, in 1936, Shanghai, all forces were intertwined and ready to make a move. In this sensitive period, safety was the first priority.
As a professional agent, he would not let go of any details. Even the Peace Hotel, known as the number one hotel in the Far East, could not rule out the possibility of Japanese spies infiltrating it.
He carefully cleaned the room. It was still clean. He didn't find any bugs or anything dirty.
He took a comfortable bath and changed into a brand new suit. His hair was combed smooth and shiny, and his shoes were polished. He looked like a living upper-class person.
This was one of the must-have skills for agents. No matter what the occasion was, they had to learn to dress differently.
Liang Xiao was an expert in this field. No matter what clothes he wore, he would be able to give off a different aura.
Of course, this had a lot to do with his handsome appearance. Wearing a black suit, his entire temperament had undergone a drastic change.
