“It’s a little strange.” Lao Huang took a sip of Shaoxing Huadiao and said with a frown.
Cheng Qianfan clinked glasses with Lao Huang and nodded.
After the last assassination incident at the Terrace Road Police Hospital, Dai Chunfeng issued an order to the Shanghai Station. In order to avoid irritating friendly countries and causing diplomatic disputes, the Shanghai Station could not attack people in the French Concession without his approval. Important personnel take action.
The Chongqing headquarters also made a list, and Cheng Qianfan, deputy chief inspector of the Central District of the French Concession, as an important person in the French Concession, is also on this list.
It means that if the Shanghai Station wants to take action against him, it must ask Dai Chunfeng for permission in advance, and it can only take action after obtaining approval.
This is also an important reason why Cheng Qianfan concluded from the beginning that the assassination on the Bund was not committed by the military commander. However, Xiang Wei's confession has now overturned this judgment.
“Are you sure that that person is the military commander?” Lao Huang asked.
“It’s very likely.” Cheng Qianfan nodded.
"I can't figure it out." Lao Huang frowned, "The most important thing is that you can't send a report to Chongqing to ask about this matter."
“Things haven’t fermented yet, and there’s not enough time.” Cheng Qianfan took a sip of Huadiao and nodded.
It’s not that you absolutely cannot send a report to Dai Chunfeng to inquire about this matter, but it’s not a good time at this time and there is no need:
Call Chongqing to inquire about this matter. If Chongqing investigates this matter, they must call and question the Shanghai Station of Military Reunification.
This is a problem.
The assassination of Cheng Qianfan just happened in Shanghai. Did the Chongqing Military Command Headquarters learn about it so quickly?
Moreover, not only did he learn about this, he actually called Shanghai directly to inquire about it.
This is almost three hundred taels of silver left here - what kind of virtue and ability does Cheng Qianfan have to bother the Military Command Headquarters to pay such close attention? At the very least, this shows that this person has a secret.
Therefore, Cheng Qianfan cannot call the Military Command Headquarters now to inquire. He needs to wait for the news that he has been assassinated to develop and that the murderer may be from the Military Command Shanghai District. At this time, he can call Chongqing to inquire about the matter. The Military Command Headquarters over there When I called the Shanghai Military Reunion Station to inquire about this matter, it was no longer so abrupt and eye-catching.
In addition, encountering the assassination of a military commander is a rather strange thing. The more unreasonable it is, the more Cheng Qianfan must deal with it calmly and not act blindly.
In addition, Cheng Qianfan did not choose to call Chongqing at this time because there was another very key consideration:
He left Shanghai, and the number of contacts between the Shanghai Special Intelligence Group and Chongqing dropped visibly. Now that he has returned to Shanghai, the contact between the Special Intelligence Group and Chongqing has become closer.
On the Japanese side, they will be surprised to notice that a familiar radio station suddenly becomes active again after being silent for a period of time.
This may seem like an insignificant detail, but under certain circumstances, it may help the enemy narrow down the target of suspicion.
Therefore, unless it is an urgent matter, such as warning, emergency military situation, etc., Cheng Qianfan will not send reports to Chongqing in the past two days.
Especially in the days after he was assassinated, he wanted to avoid calling the Chongqing Military Command Headquarters.
…
“Knowing that you are back, Inspector Zhao has communicated with Lao Lu in advance.” Lao Huang said.
“But is there a situation?” Cheng Qianfan asked with a serious expression.
There has always been an enmity between him and Cardinal Zhao, especially after Inspector Zhao caught the traitor. There has been no change of heart between him and Cardinal Zhao. Therefore, the two must never have any private contact.
This seems to have gone through many intermediaries, which is not rigorous, and the timeliness has been reduced a lot, but there is no way. The relationship between Inspector Zhao and Lao Huang is also very ordinary, especially since Lao Huang would open the door to eat dog meat at every turn, and every time Cardinal Zhao led the dog past the door of the medical room, the dog would bark incessantly, which also made the two Looking at each other with disgust.
However, the relationship between Shuli Zhao and Lu Dazhang is quite good, and the communication between the two people is normal.
Hence, Lu Dazhang became the key ‘middle man’.
"Information from within No. 76." Old Huang nodded and said, "Tong Xueyong's daughter, Tong Tingting, is missing. Agents from No. 76 are looking for her."
"Tong Tingting is missing..." Cheng Qianfan was deeply impressed by this little girl. After Tong Xueyong was arrested, she never betrayed the organization despite being tortured. However, when the enemy threatened her daughter's life, Tong Xueyong gave in.
It can be said that this little girl is Tong Xueyong's life, no, it is hundreds of times more important than his own life.
Tong Tingting is missing, and agents from No. 76 are searching for her.
Cheng Qianfan thought about it briefly and connected the matter with the situation in Nanjing—
Tong Xueyong is considered a Chongqing element?
There must be a close and direct relationship between this and the disappearance of his daughter Tingting.
Cheng Qianfan had a vague guess. The most likely possibility was that Chongqing used Tong Tingting to threaten Tong Xueyong and force him to work for Chongqing.
Yes, this can also explain why Tong Xueyong, a traitor and a guy who has completely embarked on the path of a traitor, suddenly rebelled against No. 76.
…
Cheng Qianfan then told Lao Huang about the events in Nanjing, especially the death of Toshihiko Okada and the confirmation of Tong Xueyong and Tang Wenlao as Chongqing elements on the 76th.
"Your guess makes sense." Lao Huang nodded, "According to our understanding of the traitor Tong Xueyong, he will do anything for that little girl. This is his biggest weakness. We know this, Military Commander This situation can also be grasped.”
Can do anything?
Cheng Qianfan was led into deep thought by Lao Huang's words, and suddenly his heart moved, "Old Huang, tell me, is it possible that Toshihiko Okada died at the hands of Tong Xueyong?"
"You mean..." Lao Huang's eyes also lit up, "Chongqing controlled Tong Tingting, then forced him to do things, and successfully got rid of Okada Toshihiko?"
"That's right." Cheng Qianfan said excitedly, "About the death of Toshihiko Okada and the sudden identification of Tang Wenlao and Tong Xueyong as Chongqing elements, there are actually many things that cannot be satisfactorily explained."
He flicked the ashes of his cigarette and continued, "If Tong Xueyong was forced, then many previously unexplained details would be correct."
"Tong Xueyong's situation can indeed be analyzed in this way." Lao Huang nodded, "But, what is Tang Kanlao's situation?"
Cheng Qianfan shook his head. He was also puzzled by Tang Kanrao's situation.
If Tong Xueyong was forced to embark on the path of a traitor, Tang Wenlao took the initiative to join the traitor No. 76. This person's hands can be said to be stained with blood, whether he is a member of the Red Party, the military command, or the Central Command. , there were not a few people arrested and killed by Tang Kanlao.
The possibility that Tang Kanlao is a Chongqing member is too low.
…
Nanjing, Liuliqiao.
“Sergeant, this is Tang Wenlao, the anti-justice soldier who killed Toshihiko Okada, the director of the Mei Bureau’s joint office.” A voice hurriedly said to Qin Wenming.
