Chapter 49 Suspicion (please vote for collection recommendation)
“Spring is here, the flowers are blooming, and the animals are getting restless.”
“This is the instinct of animals, and there is no way to solve it by mechanical taming.”
“So, I chose the solution once and for all.”
"Doctor Wang, you know so much." Ms. Ruth said softly, glancing at the dog being held by the maid, with a shy expression perhaps because the topic was too ambiguous.
“Dr. Wang, you and Dr. Ma have an appointment for today, and the time is almost up.” The female nurse came over to remind.
"Sorry, Ms. Ruth, I have to go out for something." Wang Kangnian picked up the top hat, "I prescribed some medicine. You can take it back, crush it, mix it with the dog's food, and give it to him."
“Okay, thank you Dr. Wang.”
"Goodbye." Wang Kangnian bowed slightly, put on his hat, walked out of the store, hailed a rickshaw, and waved goodbye to his female customer.
“The arranger, keep an eye on this Ms. Ruth.” Wang Kangyan said in a low voice.
“Yes.” The rickshaw driver nodded and gestured. A young man near the clinic nodded knowingly and followed Ms. Ruth and the maid.
“Team leader, is there something wrong with this woman?”
“I smell a familiar smell.” Wang Kangnian said with a smile.
Ms. Ruth said the dog was manic and restless, but Wang Kangnian noticed that the dog was very well-behaved around Ms. Ruth when it was delivered.
To be precise, it’s fear.
The dog is afraid of her.
This is not a dog's awe of its owner, but a panic reaction.
Just like this dog's reaction of trembling with fear when facing Wang Kangnian.
Dogs are very sensitive to smell.
Wang Kangnian knew why the dog was afraid of him. He smelled of blood, a smell that could not be washed away, a smell that was integrated into his bones.
He became suspicious of this seemingly frail Lady Ruth.
…
"Keiko, you shouldn't meet this person directly." The maid said with an unkind expression, "We have reason to suspect that this person is an agent of the National Government."
“Don’t you think it’s a very fulfilling thing to subdue a Chinese agent?” Keiko, who was holding a parasol, pursed her lips and smiled, “Or do you not believe in my charm?”
“Keiko, you are too stubborn.”
“Shut up, the section chief arranged for you to come here to be my assistant, not for me to listen to you.”
The maid's expression changed continuously, but she finally chose to swallow her anger and said, "Keiko, Major Yingzuo Yingyi wants to see you."
“I know.” Keiko showed a look of disgust. She had a bad impression of this neurotic Kagezuo-kun.
…
Chenghuang Temple, Chunfengdeyi Building.
“Teacher, was it you who recommended me to Sir Xi Neng?” Cheng Qianfan stood up and poured tea for Xiu Gongshen.
“Have you guessed it?” Xiu Gongshen asked with a smile.
“Young patrol officer, can speak French, and is from Zhejiang.” Cheng Qianfan smiled and said, “I am the only one in the central patrol room who meets the conditions.”
"You are quite clever." Xiu Gongshen laughed heartily and pointed at Cheng Qianfan, "Well, I recommended it to Your Excellency Xi Neng. This is your chance to work hard."
"Yes." Cheng Qianfan said gratefully, "Qianfan will certainly live up to the teacher's hard work."
“You are a smart and thoughtful child, I rest assured of that, but be careful when you go out.”
“Qianfan can save it.”
“Go ahead, we’re leaving tomorrow, go back and prepare.”
“Yes.” Cheng Qianfan agreed, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in one go.
“Ehehe, you are so vulgar, so vulgar.” Xiu Gongshen scolded in distress, “You have ruined all the good tea.”
“Teacher is so stingy.” Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, and ran away before Xiu Gongshen scolded him.
…
Xiu Gongshen poured himself a glass of wine and seemed to have something on his mind. About a quarter of an hour later, a man in a long gown entered the private room.
"director."
“Here, sit down.” Xiu Gongshen nodded, “Try, Long Qingxiang’s double-leafed orchid.”
Su Zhikang took a sip and tasted it carefully, "It leaves a fragrance on your lips and teeth, it's a good tea."
“Do you think Qianfan, the kid, has guessed something?”
"Cheng Qianfan is an extremely smart young man." Su Zhikang nodded, "Song Fuguo arranged for him to go to Hangzhou for training, and you recommended him to Xi Neng. It's normal for him to have suspicions. Director, there is actually a point. The subordinates have been confused.”
"you say."
"My subordinates can see that the director likes him very much. He respects Cheng Qianfan and takes good care of him." Su Zhikang carefully selected his words and said, "In this case, just say it openly. I think Cheng Qianfan is also a patriotic young man, so he will definitely not Refuse to serve the party-state.”
“Chikang.”
"Eh."
"We are walking on the edge of a cliff." Xiu Gongshen said slowly.
Su Zhikang glanced at Xiu Gongshen and nodded thoughtfully.
Xiu Gongshen sighed deeply in his heart. He felt that he was deceiving himself.
He was conflicted in his heart. Cheng Wenzao and Su Zhifu sacrificed their lives for the country. He felt that he had an obligation to protect the orphan of his close friend and comrade of the Kuomintang Party and make him stable for the rest of his life.
However, he admired Cheng Qianfan's talent very much and felt that it was a great pity that such a young man did not serve the party and the country.
With this ambivalence, he chose to let Song Fuguo contact Cheng Qianfan. He told himself that if Cheng Qianfan chose to devote himself to the cause of the party and state without hesitation, it would be the young man's own choice, and he would feel less guilty.
However, Xiu Gongshen knew that he was deceiving himself.
…
“Director, Wang Kangnian came to see me this morning.”
"Wang Kangnian?" Xiu Gongshen frowned, "What does he want from you?"
Xiu Gongshen has never liked the people in the Party Affairs Investigation Department. The Party Affairs Investigation Department is Erchen's territory, and the Secret Service has never dealt with them.
Of course, in terms of the principled stance of suppressing bandits and fighting against the Red Army, the positions of the Secret Service and the Party Affairs Investigation Office are consistent.
"Wang Kangnian asked me about Cheng Qianfan." Su Zhikang observed Xiu Gongshen's face and said cautiously, "He suspects that Cheng Qianfan is a red party member!"
“Absurd!” Xiu Gongshen snorted angrily, “In their eyes, everyone is suspected of being a Red Party member.”
"A few days ago, Wang Kangnian arrested the Red Party. Cheng Qianfan appeared at the arrest scene and was photographed by Wang Kangnian's people." Su Zhikang said, "So Wang Kangnian suspected Cheng Qianfan."
"Huh?" Xiu Gongshen's face changed slightly, and he was silent for a moment before speaking, "Why did Wang Kangnian come to you? What do you think of this matter?"
"Qianfan came to me for a drink when it was scheduled." Su Zhikang said, "He knew that I like to eat Wan Zhenxing's pig's trotters, so he went to Xiafei Road to buy it. It just happened to be a meeting. There was nothing suspicious. I have explained this to Wang Kangnian .”
"In your opinion, is Cheng Qianfan suspected of being involved in pornography?" Xiu Gongshen took a sip of tea and asked seemingly unintentionally.
"There should be no suspicion." Su Zhikang said thoughtfully, "As far as I know, Cheng Qianfan has always had a bad attitude towards the Red Party. In the patrol room's previous actions, he even personally arrested the Red Party."
“Hmm.” Xiu Gongshen nodded and said nothing more.
At this time, Wang Kangnian came to the detention center of the patrol room through Xiu Gongshen's arrangement and secretly visited Zhuang Ze.
After meeting with Su Zhikang, Wang Kangnian's suspicion of Cheng Qianfan decreased, but he was still worried.
Compared with 'Zhu Yuan''s plan to infiltrate the Red Party, he was more interested in the mysterious Red Party behind Lao Liao. His intuition told him that this was a deeply hidden ace agent of the Red Party.
He wanted to ask Zhuang Ze what he thought of Cheng Qianfan. It was said that Cheng Qianfan was also present when Zhuang Ze was arrested. As a Red Party traitor, Zhuang Ze should have the most say.
