Chapter 15 Japanese Spies (please vote for collection recommendation)
Lao Liao chose to sacrifice himself to protect Cheng Qianfan. At the cost of his own life, he completed the task of "protecting Comrade Huo Miao" assigned to him by the organization.
Cheng Qianfan ignored his own danger and did not choose to evacuate Shanghai immediately. He had his mission and his persistence!
This is the last mission instruction given to him by his immediate superior, comrade Zhulin, before he was arrested: find the secret agent and avenge the comrades who died on the night school front!
One night in the early winter of 1935, a double murder occurred in a house on Maggie Road.
Two female tenants who rented this house were found hanging in the house.
The French Concession authorities finally concluded the case by saying that there was no suspicion of homicide and that the two men hanged themselves.
The waves caused by this incident were just reported in the newspaper with ‘the two female guests were impoverished, and the three -foot hemp rope lost Huang Quan’, causing a reader to sigh.
…
Cheng Qianfan received the order from Comrade "Zhulin" to find out the truth and avenge the sacrificed comrades!
The true identities of these two female tenants are teachers of our Party’s Anti-Japanese Night School.
Two lesbians secretly organized female workers from cotton mills in the Japanese Concession to attend night classes.
He taught female workers how to read, and at the same time displayed the great rivers and mountains of the motherland through a geographical exhibition. It used pictures and texts to speak with facts and hidden meanings, inspiring the patriotic enthusiasm of the masses and promoting anti-Japanese resistance. It was very popular among female workers.
One of the lesbians is Ms. Luo Huijun, the wife of Comrade "Zhulin".
Cheng Qianfan had met Aunt Luo several times at Comrade Zhulin’s place.
Aunt Luo will smile heartily.
Auntie Luo, who is from the north, can make dumplings stuffed with three delicacies and fried meatballs, which are very delicious.
Her eyes seemed to be shining, shining with her belief in the victory of the revolution and the victory of the anti-Japanese war.
Shortly after he received the mission, Comrade "Zhulin" was also arrested in the subsequent "big manhunt". He remained steadfast and unyielding despite being severely tortured, and was eventually escorted to Yuhuatai, Nanjing, where he died heroically.
In Cheng Qianfan's heart, he had to sacrifice his own life to complete the final task assigned to him by Comrade "Zhulin".
…
He became friends with forensic doctor Liu from the Terrace Road Police Hospital.
After getting Dr. Liu drunk while drinking, Cheng Qianfan saw the confidential examination report of the case: the two men had similar strangulation marks such as belts on their necks, and there were multiple serious beating injuries.
This confirmed that the two men had been severely beaten, tortured, and finally killed, and the scene of suicide was faked.
The most important information was obtained half a month ago. Li Hao found out that late at night on the day of the incident, a little beggar was hiding under the eaves of a nearby house to avoid the cold. He was scolded and driven away by a patrolman.
With poor visibility late at night, and because he was too afraid to raise his head, the little beggar did not see the police patrol.
Performance patrols will not patrol late at night unless otherwise determined.
Cheng Qianfan definitely had reason to suspect that the French Concession patrol officer was involved in this case. It was most likely that this person was responsible for guarding the gate.
That's why he didn't suspect that someone was pretending to be a patrolman. Although the little beggar didn't see the patrolman's appearance, he caught a glimpse of a bright light on the patrolman's chest.
This is the reflection of moonlight.
The day before the incident, the French Concession issued commemorative medals commemorating the victory of World War I to patrol officers, requiring them to wear them on their chests.
Two days after the incident, the French Concession withdrew the medal due to protests from the Germans.
So, only during those two days, patrol officers wear commemorative medals.
Moreover, the medal was only distributed to police officers and has not been released.
Cheng Qianfan therefore ruled out the possibility of someone posing as a patrol officer.
…
Cheng Qianfan began to secretly investigate inside the patrol room. There were a huge number of patrol officers, making the investigation extremely difficult.
What really made him suspicious of Lao Mo was the gossip he heard from his colleagues.
The current situation is turbulent, and even a small gangster knows that the Japanese are eyeing Shanghai, so they are inevitably worried.
This boss Mo once got drunk and bragged to a bunch of gangsters, saying, "Don't be afraid of the Japanese coming. Boss Mo will take you to eat and drink spicy food."
He also took something out of his pocket and shook it proudly. Before anyone could see it clearly, he put it back in his pocket.
Others just treated it as a joke. It was common for Lao Mo to brag and get slapped, and no one took him seriously.
Especially the thing that Lao Mo showed off may be the most direct evidence.
It’s just that Lao Mo is good at picking locks and picking bags, so it’s extremely difficult to get anything from him.
Cheng Qianfan tried several times, but finally gave up. It was too risky. Once Lao Mo noticed it, his identity was likely to be exposed.
So, when Cheng Qianfan used the topic to play off the topic, Lao Mo was beaten and knocked unconscious. It can be said that he killed three birds with one stone.
Sakura, Japanese.
Cheng Qianfan is thinking.
Previously, he had suspected that it was a murder committed by agents of the National Party Affairs Investigation Department, but now it seems more like a murder committed by the Japanese.
Cheng Qianfan highly suspected that Lao Mo was involved with the Japanese, and it was even possible that he was working for the Japanese secret service.
He has an excellent memory, recalling the vague writing on the back of the token in his mind.
field?
well?
sky?
This is difficult to guess, and it’s easy to guess wrong.
It seems that the only option is to catch up with Lao Mo again. Cheng Qianfan's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
This is the most direct way.
…
at dusk.
Father Jin Road, Shuanglongfang Apartment.
At the door of a room on the third floor, a young man carrying an insulated food box was knocking on the door.
“Sir, the rice you want is included.”
No one answered in the room. The boy knocked on the door again, but there was still no response. "Sir, I left it at the door. Remember to pick it up. I will pick it up later."
The boy put down the thermos box and turned to leave.
At the corner of the corridor, Song Fuguo was waiting in hiding with his people.
“How about thin head?”
“No one responded.” Xiao Tou shook his head and whispered, “It doesn’t look like anyone.”
“Big eyes.” Song Fuguo said in a deep voice.
A thin, narrow-eyed young man dressed in gangster uniform handed the pistol to his companion, checked the dagger on his waist, gritted his teeth and walked out of the room.
After about half a minute, the door was opened, Big Eyes pushed the door open quietly, and rolled in like a cat.
Everyone stared in the direction of the room. The companion holding the big-eyed pistol looked nervous and was ready to rush out to rescue at any time.
Then everyone saw Big Eyes popping up and making a gesture.
“Senna Niangbi!” Deputy team leader Liao Zhishen cursed and led his men quickly through the corridor and into the room.
…
The whole room was cleaned, not even half a piece of paper was left.
"Team leader, we are a step late." Deputy team leader Liao Zhishen said to Song Fuguo after checking around, "It doesn't look like a temporary departure, more like a transfer."
"Mother Xipi!" Song Fuguo cursed with a gloomy face. He had already lost track of him, but unexpectedly, Liao Zhishen, who was in charge of the field service, received the intelligence. A field service worker who was a rickshaw puller pulled up a suspected stalking target on Father Jin Road. of guests.
This man is wearing a hat, covering half of his face.
What really aroused the suspicion of the field officer was that the guest muttered a curse word in Japanese in the car.
This news was reported quickly.
Liao Zhishen lives in Shanghai. Through gang connections, he finally found the location of Shuanglongfang Apartment.
Even though Song Fuguo speculated that the other party would move immediately after discovering that he was being followed, he still had a glimmer of hope, but the result was as disappointing as he expected.
"Mr. Fu, are you at home? My family has done chaos, you-" A middle-aged man knocked on the door, and the door opened. He pushed the door open and saw a group of men with short guns and fierce looks in the house. Everyone was stunned...
