Chapter 591 Big fish!
Qiu Xing's face changed, but soon returned to normal, showing a blank expression, "Team leader, who is Miss Tian? I don't know her."
"I forgot." Eguchi Hideya took a deep look at Qiu Xing, waved his hand, and then said to the driver, "Stop the car."
Qiu Xing got out of the car and watched the car Eguchi Hideya was riding in gradually disappear from sight, her facial expression became serious.
“Rickshaw.” Qiu Xing reached out and hailed a rickshaw.
“Miss, where are you going?” the rickshaw driver picked up the towel around his neck and wiped his sweat and asked.
“Department store.” Qiu Xing said. Eguchi Ying also gave her money and asked her to go shopping in the department store, so she listened to him.
The most important thing is that she cannot rule out the possibility that Eguchi Hideya arranged for someone to follow her.
“I understand, miss, please sit down.”
…
Eguchi Hideya walked out of an alley and looked at the rickshaw going away, lost in thought.
“Team leader, do you want to send someone to follow us?” one of his subordinates asked.
"No need." Eguchi Hide also shook his head, "If my expectations are correct, Qiu Xing will go to the department store."
As he spoke, he sneered, "How could Miss Tian's subordinates be so stupid!"
Of course, the most important point is that he deliberately mentioned "Miss Tian" in front of Qiu Xing to send a signal that he knew about the other party's existence and wanted to get in touch with her, rather than having any malicious intentions.
In the evening, Qiu Xing, who had been shopping in the department store all afternoon, came out, carrying large and small bags in her hands, and called a rickshaw.
The driver was pulling the cart hard, and when he was approaching the entrance of an alley, a car approached.
“Stop!” Qiu Xing said in a low voice.
The rickshaw stopped, and almost at the same time, the rear door of the car opened, and Qiu Xing quickly got into the car.
On the roadside on the right side of the rickshaw, a well-dressed woman quickly got on the rickshaw and said, "Hurry up!"
The woman said, while concealing a few banknotes in her hand.
The rickshaw driver said nothing, nodded, and continued to pull the rickshaw forward without saying a word.
To make a living on the beach in Shanghai, you have to be dumb and blind, he understands.
…
In the car, an elegant and charming woman looked at Qiu Xing.
“Sister.” Qiu Xing said quickly and respectfully.
“What happened?” the woman asked, her voice was like running water and she sounded very comfortable.
“Eguchi Ying also gave me a sum of money and asked me to buy some gifts for ‘Miss Tian’.” Qiu Xing said.
The woman frowned, showing a thoughtful expression, "Tell me the whole story again, be careful."
"yes!"
Qiu Xing then told her the story in detail.
“What do you think?” the woman asked Qiu Xing.
“Eguchi Ying must have said this on purpose. He meant to make contact with us.” Qiu Xing thought for a while and said.
"Smart." The woman pinched Qiu Xing's face and giggled, "You're such a pathetic little guy, you must be so angry."
Qiu Xing did not dare to speak and let the woman pinch him.
“It’s boring.” The woman clapped her hands, showing a resentful expression.
“Sister, where is Eguchi Hideya…” Qiu Xing asked.
“Ignore him.” The woman sneered, “If you want to see me, Eguchi is not qualified.”
As she spoke, she looked at Qiu Xing.
Qiu Xing understood and immediately said, "Six dancers were arrested by the patrol room. Four of them were bailed out this morning. The guarantee fees for the four were the same. Two more were detained, Chang Shenyi and the other one. The ransom was increased by 30%.”
“What do you think about this?”
“Chang Shenyi thought it was his own bad luck, and he happened to encounter the police station who was trying to collect money in the name of arresting Jiang Mule’s accomplices.” Qiu Xing said, “Jianggu Ying also supports this judgment.”
"Cheng Qianfan." The woman's charming red lips curled up slightly, "That's his style. This man has eyes for nothing but money and beauty."
As he spoke, he seemed to notice something strange in his subordinate's eyes, and patted Qiu Xing's face, "What, are you thinking about Chun?"
Her eyes were shining, showing an expression of surprise and a strong desire to investigate, "Could it be that after a trip to the police station, Cheng Qianfan's pervert caught his eye?"
…
The next day.
Cheng Qianfan stood at the window and watched the beautiful and charming little woman helping Chang Shenyi, who was released on guarantee, to leave.
The woman looked around a few times, as if she was looking for something.
“What did you find by following Qiu Xing?” Cheng Qianfan asked.
“This woman was very alert and changed rickshaws several times in a row. Our people didn’t dare to follow her too closely or lose her,” Hao Zai said.
When Cheng Qianfan heard this, he was not disappointed. Instead, he nodded slightly and smiled.
Qiu Xing's vigilance and caution speaks for itself.
Ordinary women would never be so vigilant.
There is a problem with Qiu Xing, which also indirectly proves that there is a problem with Chang Shenyi.
Chan Shenyi has a problem, which indirectly proves that the mysterious Dr. Mao has a problem.
…
“How is the investigation of Chang Shenyi’s background going?” Cheng Qianfan asked.
"We are still investigating," Hao Zai said. "When Shanghai fell, not only were many archives destroyed, but well-connected citizens fled Shanghai. Some of them were beaten to death, and some houses were occupied by the Japanese. Their whereabouts are unknown. , it is now more difficult than ever to check people.”
“What about the others?”
“After preliminary investigation, two people have not been found to have any involvement with the Japanese, and the rest are still being investigated.”
Cheng Qianfan glanced at Hao Zai and said, "Nothing was found. You are so happy."
“Brother Fan, we met an old friend.” Hao Zai lowered his voice and said in an encouraging tone.
“Old friend?” Cheng Qianfan glanced at Hao Zai and cursed, “Stop selling off.”
"It's Eguchi Hideya." Hao Zai said, "This little devil disappeared for a few months and then appeared again."
Cheng Qianfan's expression changed, Jiangguchi Yingya?
This is indeed an old friend.
Previously, he arranged for his men to secretly investigate Eguchi Hideya. However, a few months ago, Eguchi Hideya also mysteriously disappeared. He concluded that Eguchi Hideya should also have left Shanghai to perform some kind of secret mission.
Unexpectedly, Eguchi Hideya returned to Shanghai without anyone noticing.
What did this person do during the time he disappeared?
Suddenly returning to Shanghai, what are you going to do?
Cheng Qianfan was secretly wary. Eguchi Hideya's nominal identity was the third-class military attaché of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai. When he returned to Shanghai, he should have reported to the military attache's office. However, based on his relationship at the Iwai Mansion, he actually I haven't heard anything about this person.
When something goes out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy.
Whether it was Eguchi Hideya's betrayal of his accomplices after being arrested by the Secret Service in Wuhan, or his act of committing suicide to prove his innocence after being rescued from Nanjing by people from the Mitsui Mansion.
Or Eguchi's performance in the operation to get rid of Kage Zuo Eiichi made Cheng Qianfan look at this person with admiration.
This is an extremely selfish and threatening venomous snake, and must not be careless.
“How did you discover Eguchi Hideya?” Cheng Qianfan asked.
"I first recognized Jiangguchi's car. It was the car of Dai's Cotton Mill. Dai Lunya was secretly colluding with the Japanese, so I became aware of it," Hao Zai said.
“The car stopped on the side of the road, and two people got out. The subordinate recognized the guy from Jiangkou at a glance.” Hao Zai said happily.
“Where was Eguchi Hideya found?” Cheng Qianfan asked immediately.
“Bai Saizhong Road.” Hao Zai said.
Cheng Qianfan’s expression moved slightly. He opened the curtain on the wall of his office and revealed a map of the French Concession.
“Where did you lose Qiu Xing?” he asked.
Hao Zai pointed to a street on the map.
Cheng Qianfan glanced at Hao Zai. Hao Zai was not very literate, but he could read maps, which was really miraculous.
“Brother Fan, do you suspect that there is some connection between Eguchi Hideya’s appearance and Qiu Xing?” Hao Zai also understood and asked.
"It's possible." Cheng Qianfan said, his brows furrowed in thought.
For a moment, a smile appeared on Cheng Qianfan's lips.
Special High School, Sanbonjiro, Araki Harima; Dr. Mao from the police hospital, the patient who is seeing the doctor, the patient’s so-called wife, Eguchi Hideya...
A chain that was a bit messy but not completely clueless appeared in his mind.
Cheng Qianfan felt that he might have caught the tail of a big fish!
…
The day after one week.
Shanghai in May can already feel a hint of warmth.
A black Ford car was parked near the 'Karen Ballroom' on Fukaisen Road.
The car parked here early in the morning, and no one got on or off. The curtains on the car windows were drawn up, and even the front windshield was partially covered with cardboard.
The citizens passing by the car were not curious, and there were often unoccupied cars parked on the roadside.
No one has the idea of taking this empty car. In Shanghai, those who can afford to drive a car are not ordinary people who can be offended.
Even if something happens to the owner of the car, or he offends someone and flees, the car is not something that ordinary people can touch.
There were actually people in the car.
Lu Xingo and several team members hid in the back seats, and several people were waiting closely. Through a crack, they closely observed the "Karen Ballroom" and its surrounding area.
…
“Team leader, you’ve been waiting for so long. Is it possible that the information is wrong?” one of his subordinates asked.
“Shut up.” Lu Xinge scolded in a low voice.
Time passed by minute by minute, and suddenly, a short, thin young man walked out of an alley next to the "Karen Dance Hall".
The young man knelt down, took out a handkerchief and wiped his leather shoes. He secretly observed from the corner of his eye. After confirming that there was no danger, he quickly entered the dance hall.
“Is it him?” Lu Xingo asked.
One of his subordinates took out a photo, looked at it carefully, and nodded excitedly, "Team leader, this is the guy."
“Be prepared, wait for this person to come out of the dance hall, and take action immediately.” Lu Xinge ordered in a low voice.
"clear."
About half an hour later, the short young man came out of the dance hall.
The man took out the cigarette case from his body, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and looked around.
After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, the little man put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked leisurely on the street.
…
“Action!” Lu Xinge ordered in a low voice.
The action team members gently opened the car door, quietly got out of the car, spread out, and surrounded the small man.
Seeing everyone slowly and successfully approaching the little man, just as the two sides were getting closer and closer, the little man suddenly felt that something was wrong.
The man threw the cigarette **** on the ground, turned around and ran towards the dance hall.
“He is a cunning one.” Lu Xinge snorted coldly. If this person ran towards the alley, there would be a dead end, and he would have arranged for someone to wait secretly there.
Running into the dance hall seems to be a suicide, but the dance hall is dark and crowded. If you deliberately create chaos, you may be able to escape by taking advantage of the chaos——
After all, this is a concession, and no matter which party wants to take action, they dare not make any big moves.
The worst case scenario is that it can attract patrols. Compared with falling into the hands of the enemy, falling into the hands of patrols is always a better outcome.
Lu Xinge and others accelerated to catch up.
The little man took out a short gun from his waist while running. Without aiming, he turned around, raised his hand and fired two shots.
Snapped! Snapped!
Two gunshots rang out, and one of Lu Xinge's men was shot and fell to the ground.
“You bitch!” the action team member cursed and became violent. They completely ignored the risk of being hit and fired back, while outflanking the enemy from all directions.
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
There was a loud sound of gunfire!
Soon, the little man’s gun was out of bullets.
“Catch them alive.” Lu Xingge was overjoyed and shouted.
One of his men was overjoyed when he saw that the opponent's pistol was out of bullets. He rushed to the person and knocked the person to the ground.
Unexpectedly, this little man was as agile as a loach. He jumped forward and dodged.
However, then he was rushed up from the side by Lu Xingo, who directly shoveled him to the ground with a sliding shovel.
The rest of the people immediately surrounded him, pushed the little man to the ground, stuffed a rag into his mouth, and quickly tied his hands and feet.
Like carrying a piglet, he carried it to the car and stuffed it into the trunk.
A few people quickly got into the car, started the car, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away.
The remaining two men carried the injured brother into a rickshaw, and pulled the rickshaw away quickly.
Subsequently, the policemen’s shrill whistles sounded on the street.
…
On the third floor of an apartment about a hundred steps away from the scene of the incident, Cheng Qianfan put down the telescope in his hand.
He glanced at Qiao Chuntao, who was still observing with a telescope, and asked, "Taozi, what do you think of the Shanghai Station's mobility?"
"The action was orderly and very fast." Taozi said with a serious expression, "There are people who are dedicated to attacking and outflanking. The retreat is also planned and arranged without any panic."
As he spoke, there was admiration in his eyes, "Team leader, the commander of this action team at Shanghai Station is very capable."
Cheng Qianfan smiled and nodded slightly, "Indeed, overall, it's not bad."
"Team leader, there is something I don't understand." Taozi hesitated for a moment, then asked the question in her heart.
“Let’s talk.” Cheng Qianfan raised the telescope with both hands and saw that Lu Xinge’s car had successfully evacuated. His calm face was relieved.
“Since we know that the Shanghai Station intends to act without authorization, which will destroy our deployment, why not stop them?” Qiao Chuntao asked in a deep voice.
“Stop it?” Cheng Qianfan glanced sideways at Qiao Chuntao, “How to stop it?”
As he spoke, he sneered, "A bunch of self-righteous idiots who only know how to cut and kill!"
