“Mr. Qin.”
“Mr. Qin.”
The inspectors of each patrol came to the conference room one after another. When greeting Qin Detai, they glanced at Cheng Qianfan:
Mr. Qin's attitude towards this boy is enviable.
Qin Detai nodded slightly, responded to everyone, turned to Cheng Qianfan and said, "It is said that the injury is relatively serious. The news from Mailan District said that it was the Japanese who did it."
While speaking, Qin Detai's expression was thoughtful.
“Japanese?” Cheng Qianfan frowned, “That doesn’t make sense.”
"Yeah, it doesn't make sense." Qin Detai nodded, "Go in, it's a meeting."
"yes!"
This emergency temporary meeting was chaired by Qin Detai, the chief inspector of the Central Patrol Office. Xiu Gongshen, the translator of the Political Division, also came later and attended as a representative of Xi Neng, the squad leader of the Political Division.
Qin Detai informed everyone about the attacks by thugs in the Mailan District and the Eastern District of the French Concession.
"Everyone, as I have been worried about, chaos has broken out." Qin Detai pressed his hands on the table of the rostrum. "Colleagues from Mailan District and East District suffered heavy casualties in this attack. The scene is too tragic to watch."
“Everyone stand up!”
With a sound of brush, all the inspectors and deputy inspectors stood up.
“I propose to observe a minute’s silence for the brothers who lost their lives in this attack in Mailan District and East District.”
Everyone took off their police hats, placed them on the table, bowed their heads and observed silence.
"The tragedy that happened in Mailan District and East District today may happen in our Central District tomorrow." Qin Detai looked serious, "Therefore, after submitting to Director Ferguson for approval, I have decided -"
Everyone looked at Qin Detai.
“Effective immediately, martial law will be enforced in the central area of the French Concession for a period of seventy-two hours.”
“Add security forces to all traffic arteries.”
“Strictly check the pedestrians passing through each checkpoint.”
“Each patrol will deploy capable forces to conduct strict inspections of casinos, bars, underground opium dens, and brothels.”
The inspectors were originally listening with serious expressions, but upon hearing the last words, they all smiled.
The search was good.
They like to search for criminals the most.
"I have something to say first. If there is a problem in someone's jurisdiction, don't blame me for turning against the person." Qin Detai said coldly.
“Yes!” everyone said in unison.
Everyone understands what Mr. Qin means. The most important thing is that nothing happens. As for making money easily, he will ignore it.
Of course, each patrol commander knew in his heart that Mr. Qin must have his share of filial piety.
“The meeting is dismissed.”
The inspectors left in twos and threes while talking.
Cheng Qianfan deliberately organized his notebook, delayed for a while, and found Qin Detai.
"Mr. Qin, after I finish arranging the investigation and security of the department, I want to take some time to visit Brother Zhikang in the hospital." Cheng Qianfan said softly.
“Yes, but let’s make an agreement first, don’t neglect public affairs for personal reasons, and arrange the work at hand first.”
"Yes!" Cheng Qianfan saluted, "Mr. Qin, do you know which hospital we are in?"
"It should be Bethel Hospital." Qin Detai said, patting Cheng Qianfan on the shoulder, "The old cultivator should be waiting for you."
“Mr. Qin, I’ll go over then.”
“Go.”
Cheng Qianfan came to the corridor and saw Xiu Gongshen smoking.
“Teacher.” Cheng Qianfan walked over.
“Hmm.” Xiu Gongshen nodded, “Come for a walk with me.”
"yes!"
…
“Your wife is always talking about you these days. If you have time, you will take Ruolan out for dinner.” Xiu Gongshen said.
"Yes, it's Qianfan's fault. I have a lot of things these days and I didn't go to see you and my wife." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
“Work is work, and things in life cannot be delayed.”
"ah?"
"Ah, what, you kid, don't pretend to be confused." Xiu Gongshen glared at Cheng Qianfan, "You are the only one in the Cheng family."
"Yes, yes, yes." Cheng Qianfan quickly apologized and said, "Next year, I will let you and my wife carry your grandnephew."
“Are you going to visit Su Zhikang later?” Xiu Gongshen asked suddenly.
"Yes, my nephew has this plan." Cheng Qianfan said, "I don't know who did it, but he was so cruel to Brother Zhikang."
Xiu Gongshen gave Cheng Qianfan a deep look and said, "You and Su Zhikang have a good relationship. I'm very happy."
As he spoke, he took a drag on the cigarette, only to find that it had been extinguished and threw it away.
Cheng Qianfan quickly took out the cigarette case from his pocket, handed the cigarette to Xiu Gongshen, and took out a lighter to light it.
…
Xiu Gongshen took a deep breath and looked at the night sky, "Su Zhikang and I have been friends for many years. You may not remember that Su Zhikang hugged you when you were a child."
"Really?" Cheng Qianfan was surprised and scratched his head, "Maybe I was still young at the time and don't remember."
“Yuyao, have you been back in the past two years?” Xiu Gongshen suddenly asked.
"No, since my grandparents passed away a few years ago, there are no relatives there anymore." Cheng Qianfan said.
Mother Su Zhifu's natal family is in Yuyao, Zhejiang Province. The Su family is also a scholarly family, but the population is small. After the death of her mother and the death of her grandparents, the Su family in Yuyao has no relatives.
“You go and do your work.” Xiu Gongshen said.
“Teacher, I’ll go over then.”
Xiu Gongshen waved his hand.
Looking at Cheng Qianfan’s back as he turned away, Xiu Gongshen took a deep breath of smoke.
Cheng Qianfan was walking in the corridor, and the patrol officers he met along the way smiled and greeted him, and Inspector Cheng Xiao responded with a smile.
His heart was like a turbulent sea.
The teacher would not mention the Yuyao Su family for no reason. What is he implying?
Suddenly, Cheng Qianfan paused.
Su Zhifu, Su Zhikang.
When he first met Su Zhikang, he once joked with Su Zhikang, "'Brother Zhikang's name is very similar to my mother's name. If I hadn't known that 'Brother Zhikang' was from Nanjing, I would have thought 'Brother Zhikang'" I have some relatives on my mother’s side.”
Su Zhikang laughed loudly at that time and said that the world had the same surname five hundred years ago and that maybe the two families were actually related to each other.
Cheng Qianfan laughed loudly. It was just a casual conversation at the time, and he didn't pay attention because in his impression, his grandfather only had an only daughter, his mother.
However, now listening to Xiu Gongshen's seemingly casual words, Cheng Qianfan had to think deeply.
Could it be that Su Zhikang is really related to the Yuyao and Su family?
Back at the Third Patrol Hall, Cheng Qianfan convened the entire team for training and deployment of tasks.
“Father King Road.”
“Honolulu Road.”
“Ma Sinan Road.”
"Six checkpoints will be set up at these three intersections." Cheng Qianfan looked at everyone, "Deputy Inspector Lu, you are in charge of two teams, and Father Jin Road is entrusted to you."
"yes."
“Lu Jiufan and Hou Pingliang, you two are responsible for a small team and set up checkpoints at both ends of Honolulu Road.”
"yes."
"clear."
"clear."
"In addition, starting from 9 a.m. tomorrow, gambling stalls, bars, underground opium dens, and brothels in the third patrol area will be searched. Deputy Inspector Lu will coordinate and lead the team. Each team leader will divide the areas and perform their duties. They must do their best. Leave no dead spots and eliminate hidden dangers.”
“Understood!” Everyone agreed loudly, their expressions shocked.
Cheng Qianfan looked at everyone coldly, "Anyone who obstructs law enforcement will be arrested. If there is anyone who is seeking selfish ends, he will be severely punished."
"yes!"
"Okay, let's all disperse. Deputy Inspector Lu is here."
Enter the office, Cheng Qianfan sat on the recliner, took out a box of cigarettes from the drawer, touched one himself, and threw the cigarette box to Da Toulu.
Da Toulu quickly caught it, first lit a cigarette for Inspector Xiao Cheng, and then he chuckled and put the cigarette case into his pocket.
“How come the filial piety at the Four Seasons Cai gambling stall on Father Jin Road dropped by 20% last month?” Cheng Qianfan tapped the table with his **** and said.
“Boss Wu said that the current situation is turbulent recently and business is not doing well.”
“What a joke, the current turmoil has nothing to do with him being a gambling stall owner.” Cheng Qianfan sneered.
"This subordinate knows what to do." Da Toulu nodded with a gloomy face.
“Some people are stupid, and stupidity is a disease that needs to be cured.” Cheng Qianfan sneered, “Who is that…”
"Huo Xiaomin." Datou Lu said quickly. Wu Hanlin from Sijicai's gambling stall got involved with Huo Xiaomin, the brother-in-law of Liang Yuchun, the second patrol commander of the Central District. He thought he had a backer, so he paid 20% less filial piety.
What a fool.
“Hmm.” Cheng Qianfan nodded.
“The subordinates understand.”
…
“Inspector, that Gao Xiaofan has been recruited.” Datou Lu said.
“How do you say it?” Cheng Qianfan raised his eyebrows and asked.
"As expected, this person's name is not Gao Xiaofan, but his real name is Chimu-kun." Datoulu said.
“Japanese?” Cheng Qianfan frowned.
"It can't be said that they are Japanese." Da Toulu was addicted to cigarettes. He took out his cigarette case and refilled his cigarette for Inspector Xiao Cheng. Then he took out a cigarette and lit it, and continued, "The Sancai Screw Factory in the public concession, Inspector Xiao Cheng You should have heard of it, sir.”
“That Chi Guofu who married a Japanese dancer?” Cheng Qianfan was shocked and became interested.
Datou Lu chuckled in his heart, knowing that the inspector would be interested. This Chi Guofu was from a prominent family in Gusu. He ran a screw factory in the public concession. The most famous thing about this person was that when he was young, he spared the money of the rich lady introduced to him by his family. , married a Japanese dancer, and almost made my father angry to death. At that time, he was also famous in Shanghai.
Of course, what people are most interested in is that this Japanese dancer is extremely enchanting, especially because she is quite capable in bed, and she fascinated Chi Guofu.
"Yes, this Akagi is the daughter of the Japanese wife of Boss Aka's family." Datulu said.
“Tsk, tsk, I married a Japanese woman and gave my son a Japanese name.” Cheng Qianfan shook his head and asked, “Why are they pretending to be Gao Xiaofan?”
"According to Mr. Chimu, they are a group of people. They are all children of wealthy businessmen. They usually have nothing to do. I don't know where I saw the household registration information of the Household Affairs Section. I learned that there was a person like Gao Xiaofan, and that Ms. Li and the inspector We are friends, and I just want to extort a sum of money from you, Inspector Gao, in the name of Gao Xiaofan." Datou Lu said.
“Extorting money?” Cheng Qianfan sneered, “Such a ridiculous excuse, Brother Lu, do you believe it?”
“My subordinates also think it’s strange.” Da Toulu frowned, “However, Akagi-kun insists that this is the case.”
“Have you been tortured?”
"It's used." Da Toulu nodded, "However, I learned that he is the son of Chi Guofu, so the subsequent severe punishment will not be carried out for the time being."
“Hmm.” Cheng Qianfan nodded, “Keep it closed for now.”
As he spoke, he sneered, "Originally, Chi Guofu is in the public concession, so I can't have any idea about him. No, it's delivered to my door, tsk tsk."
"Akagi-kun has given a list of the other men and women in that group. Please take a look at it, Inspector." Otoulu took out a confession from his body and handed it over.
Cheng Qianfan took it, glanced at it, raised the corner of his mouth, and put the confession into the drawer, "Ignore the others for now, keep that Chimu behind, waiting for his father's call."
“The subordinates understand.”
Da Toulu nodded, and he couldn't help but mourn for the families of those young men and young ladies. They had offended Inspector Xiao Cheng, and their families had to have some bloodshed.
…
Cheng Qianfan drove to Bethel, Mailan District, French Concession, thinking about it all the way.
Instinct told him that the organization of the group of wealthy young ladies mentioned by Akagi-kun was not that simple.
What interests him most is where this group of people saw the household registration information from the Household Affairs Section in the 24th year of the Republic of China.
The reason why he did not let the patrol room continue to torture Mr. Akagi was not only because of the background behind this group of rich young ladies, but most importantly, because he did not want to alert the enemy.
There are some things where it is not easy for the patrol room to get involved too deeply.
Otherwise, it would be very difficult for him to find out something remarkable given his status.
It is just a matter of detaining a Chimu-kun and pointing the sword at Chi Guofu. Considering the money-grubbing character of Inspector Xiao Cheng, this is very reasonable.
…
The entire Mailan District is under total martial law.
Cheng Qianfan passed through many stuck points along the way.
However, the famous Inspector Xiao Cheng was known to everyone in the patrol house in the French Concession, so he was naturally allowed to go all the way.
Cheng Qianfan parked the car, asked about Su Zhikang's ward, and walked towards the ward area.
Ward No. 2 of Group B.
Cheng Qianfan went down the corridor on the right and saw a woman sitting on a bench outside the ward from a distance, looking at the ceiling in a daze.
“Sister-in-law.” Cheng Qianfan hurriedly went up to say hello.
This is Su Zhikang's wife. Su Zhikang has two houses in the French Concession, one at No. 3 Anfuli and the other at Maggie Road.
Last year, Mrs. Su took her children back to her hometown in Nanjing, and Su Zhikang lived alone at No. 3 Anfuli.
"Qianfan, you're here." When Mrs. Su saw Cheng Qianfan, she seemed to have found a backbone, wiping tears, "Your brother, he was murdered by a gangster."
"I know, I know." Cheng Qianfan said with relief, "I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter and avenge Brother Zhikang."
As he spoke, he helped Mrs. Su sit down, "How is Brother Zhikang?"
“The doctor said it hurt my brain. I woke up an hour ago and said my head hurt badly. The doctor gave me an injection and I fell asleep again.”
Cheng Qianfan stood up, came to the door of the ward, opened the white curtain, and saw Su Zhikang sleeping on the hospital bed, his eyes full of worry and anger.
“Sister-in-law, don’t worry, brother Zhikang will be fine due to his good fortune and good fortune.” Cheng Qianfan said with relief.
“I hope so.” Mrs. Su said, wiping away tears.
“Where are the nieces and nephews?”
"At home, it was too chaotic outside, and I didn't dare to let them follow me out." Mrs. Su said.
"Why is my sister-in-law here alone? What's going on in the Mailan patrol room?" Cheng Qianfan frowned and said.
"Someone from the patrol room came, and I asked them to leave." Mrs. Su said, "It's such a mess outside, and everyone has a lot to do."
Cheng Qianfan looked better now and nodded.
“Sister-in-law, you go and rest, I’ll watch over you.” Cheng Qianfan looked at the tired woman and said softly.
“No, no, Qianfan, just go and do your work, I’ll just keep watch.” Mrs. Su said quickly.
Cheng Qianfan tried to talk a lot, but Mrs. Su insisted on staying outside the ward.
“I’m not here to watch, and I don’t feel at ease.”
Cheng Qianfan couldn't resist, so he called the nurse, asked for a blanket for Mrs. Su, and told Mrs. Su to inform him when Su Zhikang regained consciousness, before saying goodbye and leaving.
He did not walk away from the stairs from the beginning, walked across the corridor, and left from the stairs on the other side.
Walking outside Ward No. 6 of Group B, I saw a little boy secretly hiding in the corner with a newspaper in his hand and reading it in a serious manner.
“Little guy, are you literate?” Cheng Qianfan asked with a smile.
“Of course I can read.” The little boy raised his head and glanced at Cheng Qianfan.
Cheng Qianfan smiled and was about to walk away when he heard the little boy ask, "Do you have any candy on you?"
Cheng Qianfan stopped and said, "Yes."
As he said that, he squatted down and smiled, "What, do you want some candy?"
“I’ll read you the words in the newspaper in exchange for your candy, okay?”
“Who told you that reading newspapers can be exchanged for candy?” Cheng Qianfan touched the little guy’s head and asked.
