Chapter 303: Clearing up the clues (please subscribe and subscribe monthly)
The car stopped at the entrance of a relatively hidden alley on Hankou Road.
Cheng Qianfan got off the car.
Enter the alley, in the middle of the alley, he took out the key and opened the door of a house, walked through the yard, went out the back door, and arrived at another street.
At the end of the street, there was a simple carport, and a black Austin car was parked in the carport.
“Inspector Cheng.” A lame old man nodded and bowed.
Cheng Qianfan handed over a two-yuan French currency and said, "Drink less."
“There is no other way, the old man just likes this.” The lame old man said with a smile.
Cheng Qianfan opened the car door, turned on the key, and started the car.
Before preparing to leave, he rolled down the window, opened the glove box, took out a pack of three turrets, and threw it to the lame old man, "Save it."
The lame old man thanked him profusely, and Cheng Qianfan drove away.
The streets are bustling with people.
In the far north, the fall of Peiping and Tianjin did not seem to have a very direct impact on the largest city in the Far East.
Cheng Qianfan drove along and passed through several streets. He stopped on the side of the road under the shade of a tree.
Lighted up a cigarette and took a slow puff. The tobacco breath entered from the nasal cavity and trachea and circulated in the lungs. At the same time, it stimulated the brain and made him sober when he was tired.
He was thinking about what Hao Zai said.
…
Japanese people who are ‘self-righteous’.
He used the word again.
Even if Qiao Chuntao didn't confirm that the 'little girl' was a Japanese dwarf through the tattoo on her wrist, Cheng Qianfan could tell that there was something wrong with the little girl.
A little girl who was almost insulted by a Japanese ronin did not run away quickly. Instead, she reappeared near the scene of the incident and was even called looking for her "savior".
Cheng Qianfan's feeling is that sometimes the Japanese are very cunning and extremely insidious, but sometimes they are so self-righteous. They think they have perfect considerations, but in fact they are extremely stupid and treat others as fools.
Cheng Qianfan is now wondering why this Japanese female dwarf is looking for Qiao Chuntao and Jiang Laosan.
This behavior does not conform to Cheng Qianfan’s previous analysis of this matter.
His and Qiao Chuntao's previous analysis of this matter showed that whether the Japanese ronin deliberately designed traps to trap and kill anti-Japanese compatriots, or the Japanese military tried to use traps to create friction, both behaviors have one characteristic:
Randomness!
They don’t care who takes the bait.
Based on this judgment, even if Qiao Chuntao and Jiang Laosan successfully escaped, the Japanese side would not actually care too much.
On the contrary, not only will they not continue to search or hunt, they will also deliberately press the matter to avoid spreading it, so as not to affect their continued 'fishing'.
So, Cheng Qianfan was very surprised to hear that the 'little girl' not only did not hide, but was actually looking for the 'savior'.
This is a very abnormal situation.
What is the purpose of the Japanese doing this?
…
Cheng Qianfan threw the cigarette **** out of the window, took out a cigarette, and played with it in his hand instead of lighting it.
The current situation was completely beyond his expectation.
The most likely explanation is that both of his previous inferences were wrong.
The Japanese's actions had the direct purpose of "finding people" from the beginning, or it could be said that they were directed at Qiao Chuntao and Jiang Laosan.
At the beginning, they were fishing for two fish, Qiao Chuntao and Jiang Laosan.
Before Qiao Chuntao was injured, he and Jiang Laosan were tasked with secretly monitoring the Inoue Mansion.
●The previous speculations and information were like a messy ball of thread.
Now, the ideas in his mind are getting clearer and clearer, as if he has a main thread, and he can string these scattered threads together:
The true identities of this Japanese female dwarf and those Japanese ronin are most likely the Japanese from the Inoue Mansion.
They discovered that the mansion was being watched, but there was no way to lock down the watcher, so they adopted this method of 'fishing'.
So, everything is straightened out.
Although it was just a guess, Cheng Qianfan was 70% sure.
…
Wearing a hat and covering up a little, Cheng Qianfan waded through the water to the door of Yang Changnian's clinic, and saw Yang Changnian taking out water from the basin.
In the afternoon, a sudden heavy rain fell in Shanghai.
Although it only lasted less than an hour, the rainfall was considerable.
"Did you get wet?" Cheng Qianfan entered the clinic and didn't care that the stool was wet. He sat down and handed Yang Changnian a cigarette.
“This land is a depression, and toads will be in trouble even if they urinate.” Yang Changnian took the cigarette handed over by the team leader, lit it, and took a puff.
“How long will it take for Taozi’s injury to heal?” Cheng Qianfan asked.
“It will take at least a month.” Yang Changnian said.
“You go to Jiang Mulezi at night and tell him to arrange for Jiang Lao San and Jiang Lao Si to go to Qiao Chuntao’s place and tell Tao Zi and the others that they are not allowed to go out recently without my order, and at the same time strengthen their vigilance.” Cheng Qianfan said.
“Team leader, what happened?” Yang Changnian asked immediately.
“Qiao Chuntao and Jiang Laosan are being targeted, and the Japanese female dwarf is looking for them.” While Cheng Qianfan was talking, he could see children sitting in a wooden basin and rowing a boat outside the door.
He threw the cigarette **** into the water and continued, "I guess the Inoue Mansion discovered that they were being watched and took countermeasures. The incident with the Japanese female dwarf and the Japanese ronin was a trap for them."
“So, be careful with everything these days.”
"yes!"
“Doctor Yang, how many tablets of this medicine do you prescribe at a time?” Cheng Qianfan stood up and asked.
"Twice a day, two tablets at a time." Yang Changnian understood and wrapped it in a small white paper. "Sir, please take it. Don't get it wet."
The tablets are Jianweixiaoshi tablets, which are commonly used at home.
"I know." Cheng Qianfan went out, seemed to be quite careful and picked up the pills wrapped in white paper and looked at them, then stuffed them into his pocket and waded into the water to leave.
Unless there is a sudden situation like Qiao Chuntao's injury, Cheng Qianfan is now trying his best to avoid too many frequent contacts with other subordinates.
If there are orders that need to be conveyed, he will convey them through Li Hao, Hao Zai or Yang Changnian.
Li Hao and Hao Zai, needless to say, are his close confidants.
Choose Yang Changnian because he is a doctor, and he is a doctor who is relatively well-known for his medical skills.
This profession is very good. Anyone who comes here will not arouse too much suspicion.
Similarly, Yang Changnian's status as a doctor also allows him to move more freely. He can go out in the name of door-to-door medical practice.
…
Honolulu Road.
Cheng Qianfan came to the door of Huiya Bookstore, pretended to smoke, and secretly placed the information in an abandoned mailbox next to the telephone pole.
The national government has formally submitted a request to the French Concession authorities to extradite Liu Bo this morning.
