A loud bang.
The earth seemed to be trembling.
Li Hao braked suddenly.
Cheng Qianfan reacted very quickly and raised his left arm to avoid hitting his head.
“Get out of the car!” He ordered in a deep voice.
Cheng Qianfan held the Browning gun tightly in his right hand, quickly got out of the car, hunched over, and used the car as a cover.
Just as Li Hao was about to stick his head out to take a look, he heard Cheng Qianfan yelling, "Don't show your head!"
“Yes!” Just as Li Hao retracted his head, a stray bullet passed over his head, making his face turn pale with fright.
Cheng Qianfan shook his head. Haozi was alert and reliable, but after all, he had not received professional military training, so special training in this area must be strengthened.
He took out the pocket watch from his pocket and opened it. The cover of the pocket watch was made of copper. It was smooth enough to shine on hair and could be used as a mirror.
He carefully sent the pocket watch out and observed it secretly.
A car exploded and caught fire, and someone was rolling on the ground in pain with flames.
Cheng Qianfan moves the cover of his pocket watch.
It can be seen that another car relatively close to the exploded car was also affected and seriously damaged. There were gunmen who used the car as a cover and were fighting with the attackers.
“Get in the car!” Cheng Qianfan ordered decisively.
"yes!"
The two of them moved quickly and got into the car.
Li Hao skillfully turned on the ignition, started the car, turned around, stepped on the accelerator, and quickly drove away from the "war zone".
“Whose car is 1063?” Cheng Qianfan asked.
“Boss Gu’s car belongs to the Guofa Grain and Oil Factory in the public concession.” Li Hao blurted out.
As the leader of the traffic team, Li Hao's job responsibilities are naturally not only to be Cheng Qianfan's driver and dispatch vehicles to support the operation. He works very hard himself and has almost all the license plates of the famous cars in Shanghai memorized in his mind.
“Gu Xingyi.” Cheng Qianfan looked thoughtful.
Gu Xingyi is not only the boss of the Guofa Grain and Oil Factory, he also has another identity. He is the vice president of the Shanghai Grain and Oil Cake Traders Association and a director of the Shanghai Flour Traders Association.
It can be said that one word from this person is enough to cause fluctuations in the price of grain, oil and flour in Shanghai.
“I want to ask about two things.” Cheng Qianfan said.
“Is Gu Xingyi in the vehicle that was attacked? What is the current situation?”
“Which party attacked Gu Xingyi?”
“Understood.” Li Hao nodded.
Because of the long detour, the car arrived at the central patrol house more than 20 minutes later than expected.
Qin Detai organized a routine investigation and security meeting.
Seeing Inspector Xiao Cheng quietly push the door open and come in, Inspector Qin turned his eyes elsewhere and ignored him.
This made Liang Yuchun quite angry.
He just noticed that Cheng Qianfan did not attend the meeting on time, and he was happy.
He knew that Tan Detai hated people being late, and he thought that this **** would definitely be scolded by Chief Inspector Qin today.
Unexpectedly, Qin Detai turned a blind eye to Cheng Qianfan who was late.
Snapped.
Just when Cheng Qianfan was about to quietly come to his seat and sit down, Liang Yuchun, who was not far from him, was about to pick up the teacup and drink tea, but he accidentally lost his hold and the teacup fell and shattered on the floor.
In the quiet conference room, this crisp sound immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The standing Inspector Xiao Cheng is even more eye-catching.
"Inspector Cheng, why are you late?" Qin Detai coughed softly and asked in a deep voice.
“Reporting to Mr. Qin, on the way back to the arresting house, my subordinates encountered an explosion and attack on a vehicle.” Cheng Qianfan showed fear, “If I hadn’t been lucky and escaped in time, I would have been trapped in a fight.”
“It also took me a long detour and made me late. I hope Mr. Qin will forgive me.”
"This happened." Qin Detai was shocked, "Where did it happen?"
Cheng Qianfan was about to answer when he saw his trusted subordinate Shu Li knocking on the door and coming in. He knew that Shu Li Zhao was here to report the matter.
"The meeting is dismissed!" Qin Detai said in a deep voice, took two steps and glanced at the venue, "How can I hold a gun if I can't hold the teacup firmly?"
After speaking, leave directly.
Everyone made a sound and looked at Liang Yuchun.
Cheng Qianfan glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Liang Yuchun's fists clenched tightly under the table.
He suddenly felt secretly vigilant.
Even though Liang Yuchun is suppressed by him now, Liang was also a vicious and cunning person back then. If you underestimate this person, be careful.
…
At the end of the day, Li Hao came to Cheng Qianfan’s desk to report the situation.
“Brother Fan, I figured it out.” Li Hao picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip of water, and said.
“Tell me about it.” Cheng Qianfan said.
He has been thinking about the attack on Gu Xingyi, because the attacker's methods are quite similar to those used by the Secret Service:
Bombs and encirclement and killing are almost the standard configuration of Secret Service operations.
Perhaps it’s because Yu Ping’an himself is an expert in chemical explosions, and everyone in the Secret Service frequently uses explosive methods.
"It's Gu Xingyi's motorcade." Li Hao said, "However, Gu Xingyi was not in the car. It is said that he got off the car five minutes early for unknown reasons, so he escaped."
Cheng Qianfan’s heart moved:
Five minutes early, get off the bus and leave temporarily.
How can there be such a coincidence?
The main suspicion is that Gu Xingyi got out of the car because of something, but his motorcade and bodyguards did not follow him. Instead, they ignored the owner's family and continued to drive away.
This news must have leaked out.
Perhaps, someone tipped Gu Xingyi.
“Furthermore, we still don’t know who attacked Gu Xingyi.” Li Hao continued, “There were multiple gunmen who attacked, one was dead and one was injured, and several others escaped.”
“Where are the injured people?” Cheng Qianfan asked.
“The bodies and injured people were all taken to the police hospital on Terrastro Road,” Li Hao said.
…
"This is absolutely unusual." Lu Xingge said with a gloomy face, "How could Gu Xingyi suddenly get out of the car and leave early? I don't believe it was a coincidence."
“What Xing Ge means is that we have internal problems. Someone tipped off Gu Xingyi?” Zheng Lijun also asked with a stern face.
“It must be so.” Lu Xingge said firmly.
He was responsible for this operation. After following Gu Xingyi for many days, he figured out Gu Xingyi's route of action and formulated a careful action plan. In his opinion, there was no reason for any mistakes.
However, he did not expect that Gu Xingyi would be so lucky to escape, and one of his own would be killed and injured.
“Team Leader Lu is doubting his subordinates.” Ruan Zhiyuan, who was listening on the sidelines, suddenly said.
"Xing Ge absolutely believes in his brothers." Lu Xinge looked serious. "This is exactly what I can't figure out. The brothers are reliable, but how did the news leak out?"
"You know people but don't know their hearts. Team Leader Lu should conduct a self-examination on his department first." Ruan Zhiyuan said coldly.
Lu Xingge immediately glared at Ruan Zhiyuan. He was a little confused. Ruan Zhiyuan, the assistant to the webmaster, had been targeting him a lot recently. He himself had never offended this person.
“Stationmaster, what do you mean?” Zheng Lijun, the captain of the Shanghai Station Operations Brigade, looked at the stationmaster Zheng Weilong and asked.
“Personally, I still want to believe that our brothers are loyal to the party and the country.” Zheng Weilong said with a serious expression, “There are so many coincidences in the world. Perhaps this old guy Gu Xingyi is lucky.”
Hearing this, Lu Xingge frowned and was about to speak.
Zheng Weilong looked around and said, "Okay, don't mention this matter again. It must not affect unity or disturb the morale of the army."
Zheng Weilong has said this, so everyone can only give up.
After everyone left, Zheng Weilong poured himself a glass of red wine, turned on the gramophone, sipped the red wine and listened to the music, which was a unique mood.
It’s a pity that there is no beautiful woman to accompany you.
Zheng Weilong shook his head with regret.
“Webmaster.” Ruan Zhiyuan came back quietly.
“There are a lot of strange things about this matter, and it is indeed suspected that the news has been leaked.” Zheng Weilong said with a gloomy expression, “You arrange for someone to keep an eye on Lu Xingge’s group.”
“Yes!” Ruan Zhiyuan nodded vigorously.
…
The sky suddenly became overcast.
Cheng Qianfan stared ahead, watching the passers-by.
Look at the bustling lights of Shanghai.
He held the steering wheel with his fingers and tapped lightly.
A figure quietly approached the car, gently opened the door and got in.
