Chapter 152 Analysis of ‘Case Facts’
The next morning.
Li Hao appeared in Yandeli carrying an aluminum lunch box in one hand and a salted fish in the other.
“Haozi is here.”
“Have you eaten, Haozi?”
Neighbors greeted Li Hao one after another. At first, these old neighbors were quite discriminatory towards Li Hao, a little beggar. After a few years, Li Hao grew up and had a serious job, and the neighbors slowly began to accept him.
“There is fried food in the lunch box, it smells so delicious.” The little tailor came over, pointed at the lunch box in Li Hao’s hand and said with a smile.
"Bring breakfast to Brother Fan." Li Hao said. He didn't like this little tailor. He was too stingy and was used to taking advantage. When Li Hao was begging in the past, the little tailor would rather pour the leftovers into the toilet. Not even for the little beggars to eat.
Hearing what Li Hao said, the little tailor licked his lips and did not dare to say anything more.
In his eyes, the former little beggar Li Hao could still be bullied.
He did not dare to provoke Cheng Qianfan.
Liu Ada, a wonton seller, saw Li Hao carrying the fried dumplings back to Yandeli. He cursed angrily and swore that the fried dumplings at this restaurant were far worse than his wontons.
This is a new family selling fried pancakes on the street in the next alley, and Liu Ada regards him as a life-or-death enemy.
…
“Brother Fan!” Li Hao knocked on the door and shouted loudly.
Cheng Qianfan poked his head out of the window on the second floor, "Haozi is here, wait a minute."
As he said that, he shouted to Liu A, "Liu Ada, please bring two bowls of wontons."
After hearing this, the proud Liu Ada raised his head, with an extremely proud smile on his vicissitudes of life, and muttered to Li Hao, which probably meant that if your brother Fan doesn't eat raw pancakes, he should eat mine. ravioli.
“Go, wash your hands and get ready to eat.” Cheng Qianfan went downstairs, opened the door, took the lunch box from Li Hao’s hand, put it on the table, and hung up the salted fish.
Cheng Qianfan noticed that of the two bowls of wontons, one bowl contained the same number of wontons as before, while the other bowl had an extra wonton.
He glanced at the aluminum lunch box Li Hao used to hold the fried food, shook his head and smiled.
He pulled the square dining table a few meters inwards, away from the door, and closed the door behind him.
Breakfast is two bowls of wontons, pan-fried pancakes from the lunch box, four meat buns, and two poached eggs.
This kind of breakfast can be said to be relatively rich.
“There was a gunshot last night, what happened?” Cheng Qianfan picked up a piece of fried fish and asked while eating.
This is a tacit understanding between him and Li Hao. If something big happens in the French Concession, Li Hao will come to Cheng Qianfan to have breakfast or dinner with him the next day.
He will tell Cheng Qianfan the news he heard.
Li Hao and some of the little beggars Li Hao knew were Cheng Qianfan’s clairvoyant eyes and ears.
…
"Well, I heard about it." Li Hao ate the poached eggs, his mouth full of oil. "They said they were trying to catch the Red Party. The Red Party and the Kuomintang were fighting. Many people from the Kuomintang died but they still couldn't catch the Red Party."
“How is it on the street?” Cheng Qianfan asked.
“The police are getting stricter. I saw Officer Lu patrolling the streets and checking my ID. He knew me and didn’t check me.”
Police Officer Lu is Da Tou Lu. This morning, it was the turn of Da Tou Lu, the third patrol officer of the Central Patrol Room, to lead the third-class police patrol on the streets.
Cheng Qianfan nodded. There was such a big movement last night, including gun battles and grenade explosions. It was comparable to a small 'military conflict'.
This is nothing less than a slap in the face to the French Concession authorities who claim that the French Concession is the safest place in Greater Shanghai.
Intensifying patrols and interrogations is not only to search for the culprits, but also to flex muscles and shock people.
“What’s going on?” Cheng Qianfan handed a steamed bun to Li Hao. Li Hao was growing taller and could eat it.
"Pi Dan once went to Hankou Road to beg for food, and was beaten by Er Gou, a beggar there. A gentleman from the declaration office came out and saw him, broke his steamed bun in half and gave it to Pi Dan and Er Gou." Li Hao He whispered, "Er Gou came and told Pi Dan that the man who gave them steamed buns was beaten to death, and Pi Dan cried."
“Later, the two of them ran to inquire about the news and found out that the man named Ahai from the declaration office was not dead and ran away.”
It turned out that his name was Ahai and he worked at Shenbao.
Cheng Qianfan immediately understood who the person Li Hao was talking about was probably the red party member who was being followed by agents from the Party Affairs Investigation Department, who was also the first person he rescued.
Thinking of "Shen Shen", Cheng Qianfan didn't know what was going on. He immediately thought of Fang Muheng, who also worked in "Shen Shen".
As an almost subconscious reaction, Cheng Qianfan suspected that this matter had some unknown relationship with Fang Muheng.
At first it was just an inexplicable reaction without any reason.
However, after thinking about it carefully, the more Cheng Qianfan thought about it, the more he felt that his feeling was reasonable.
…
After returning from Hangzhou, I learned that "Zhu Yuan" was "rescued" by the Red Party and was quickly executed as a traitor.
Cheng Qianfan carefully studied and analyzed the entire process of this matter.
The Party Affairs Investigation Department set up a conspiracy to arrange for the traitor "Zhu Yuan" to infiltrate the Red Party.
Fang Muheng undoubtedly played a key role in this plan of the Party Affairs Investigation Office, and Fang Muheng was used without his knowledge.
He concluded that the arrest of Fang Muheng by the Party Affairs Investigation Department at that time was also part of this plan.
Fang Muheng is not a red party member. Cheng Qianfan can draw this conclusion, and the Party Affairs Investigation Office can also see this.
Such a Fang Muheng is not worth the effort of the Party Affairs Investigation Division to arrest.
The purpose of arresting Fang Muheng was so that Fang Muheng could meet "Zhu Yuan" in the cell for legitimate reasons.
‘Zhu Yuan’s plan failed.
The agents of the Party Affairs Investigation Department are likely to focus on Fang Muheng again, or even have not relaxed their surveillance of Fang Muheng.
Yes, Fang Muheng is not a red party member.
However, Fang Muheng, who is full of enthusiasm but has no fighting experience, obviously has some kind of relationship with the Red Party.
This is someone you can take advantage of.
If he were an agent of the Party Affairs Investigation Department, he would also arrange for people to keep an eye on Fang Muheng. This is just waiting for the chance.
Cheng Qianfan also knew that this kind of speculation and analysis of his was untenable strictly speaking. Just because Ahai and Fang Muheng were colleagues in Shenbao, he could not think that it was Fang Muheng who failed to succeed and failed.
However, there was a feeling in his heart that this possibility existed.
It is easy to verify the guess, just ask who Fang Muheng has a better relationship with at the declaration office, and what is the relationship between Fang Muheng and Ah Hai.
Ahai is a member of the Red Party. Judging from his performance yesterday, he is still vigilant enough and has some experience in struggle.
A Hai may be more careful and not reveal his faults, but the probability of something going wrong with Fang Muheng is too high, and this person will not hide his good relationship with the red party within the declaration office.
As long as they keep an eye on who Fang Muheng has a good relationship with, the spies can basically target the suspects within the smallest range.
The first time he met Fang Muheng, Cheng Qianfan had a relatively clear judgment about this person. He had high revolutionary enthusiasm, but had not been tempered by cruel revolutionary struggles and had no authority. He was a respectable and passionate young man, but he was also prone to bad things.
