Chapter 619 The famous ‘Mr. Xiao Cheng’
Ahai smiled, but he did not answer He Guan's question.
He also admired this unknown comrade deep in his heart.
“What to do with the pistol?” He Guan asked in a low voice.
"Hide it, you can't bring it in." Ahai shook his head and said.
He Guan was a little reluctant to give up. For him, with a gun in his hand, he was full of courage. For this heroic anti-Japanese warrior who crawled out from the dead, he was confident of breaking out of the siege even in the face of the siege of the Japanese army. , he would not feel comfortable without a gun.
“Hide the gun and you won’t be able to pass the level.” Ahai said with a serious expression.
He Guan glanced at the direction of the pier. Japanese troops were checking people passing by. Basically, every citizen who wanted to get on the ship from the pier would be searched.
As long as the Japanese army inspects carefully, the guns cannot be hidden no matter where they are hidden.
"Okay." He Guan nodded. For them, the first priority now was to safely send Fang Muheng to the concession for treatment.
“Captain, will it be stolen?” Shang Ming asked worriedly.
His Mauser pistol was rewarded to him by Brigadier Changgu Baoguo after he killed a Japanese invader. After getting the gun, he regarded it as a treasure.
“If it’s really gone, I’ll get one for you.” He Guan said.
…
He Guan walked around and hid the three short guns in three different hiding places in the abandoned shack.
When he walked back, he saw Ah Hai pulling out a thin quilt from nowhere and covering Fang Muheng's body.
Japanese soldiers could confirm that Fang Muheng had suffered a gunshot wound just by looking at him. The Japanese soldiers were very sensitive to gunshot wounds and would rather kill him by mistake than let him go.
“Amu, is this okay?” He Guan asked in a low voice.
"This is the only way." Ah Hai said. He glanced at the direction of the dock and continued, "The organization has made all arrangements."
He Guan gritted his teeth and said, "I think it is necessary to be prepared for emergencies at any time."
"You should be prepared." Ahai nodded and said, "You must always be vigilant."
In fact, he was very uneasy in his heart.
He was also full of doubts about whether he could pass the Japanese military inspection.
If Fang Muheng was sick or something, it would be easy to hide it, but since this was a gunshot wound, it would be difficult to hide it from the Japanese soldiers. They were too familiar with gunshot wounds.
Ahai can only comfort himself:
It is impossible for such a cautious and attentive comrade to fail to think of things that he can consider. Since this comrade has made such arrangements, he naturally has his reasons. You must trust this comrade!
However, even though he comforted himself in this way, he was still worried in his heart.
This level of the Japanese army at the dock is the most difficult.
…
At the pier, a man in shorts squatted and smoked.
In the puff of smoke, he glanced at a few people pushing a wheelbarrow.
"Is it Brother Chang San?" Ah Hai walked in front and raised his hand to say hello.
“Are you Amu?” Brother Chang stood up, patted the dust on his butt, looked at it carefully, and asked.
“Yes, I’m here in Mu Xiaohe, everyone calls me Amu.” Ahai handed over the ID card in his hand.
Chang Sange took the certificate, opened it, glanced at the banknotes inside the certificate, nodded, and said with a smile on his face, "Sensible."
Put the banknotes into your pocket.
"Shi Lei, from Nanshi?" He took two steps forward with his ID in his hand, and first glanced at He Guan and others.
He Guan smiled and nodded in response. Shang Ming also forced out a smile. Huang Xiaolan seemed a little scared and hid behind He Guan.
Brother Chang smiled and looked down at Shi Lei on the wheelbarrow.
"What's the matter with the injury on your body?" Chang Sange opened the thin quilt covering Shi Lei's body, his expression changed, and he asked.
"Isn't this just selling things in the streets? I hid in the woods and died of a stomachache. I was shot as a wild boar." Ahai quickly explained.
“Shot with a shotgun?”
"Yes Yes Yes."
“Not quite.” Brother Chang shook his head.
He Zhenzhen tensed up and his expression remained unchanged, but he was already ready to attack and kill violently.
"It's more like a poisonous snake bite." Chang Sange shook his head, "This is also an unlucky guy, even **** can be bitten by a snake."
"Yes, my brother is so unlucky, **** poisonous snake." Ahai reacted quickly and nodded immediately.
Chang Sange nodded with satisfaction. He looked at 'Amu' and said, "Don't worry, you have spent money and I will let you into the concession. However, we have agreed in advance not to talk nonsense on the road."
He looked at Shi Lei on the wheelbarrow and said, "When others ask questions, you will only say that this person was bitten by a snake unless I nod. I didn't nod. If anyone else asks, you don't need to pay attention."
"Don't worry, we are all honest people. We will never speak without your instructions." Ah Hai said, taking back the ID of 'Shi Lei' from Brother Chang San.
"Relax, no one will ask." Chang Sange showed a hint of pride, "Mr. Xiao Cheng's flag is flowing smoothly, and the Japanese will give him face."
…
Mr. Xiao Cheng?
He Guan glanced at Brother Chang San.
Since when did Shanghai Bund have such a famous figure again?
He had been away from Shanghai for several days and did not know that his good brother Cheng Qianfan had been promoted from "Inspector Xiao Cheng" to "General Manager Xiao Cheng".
Ah Hai knew that "Mr. Little Cheng" was Cheng Qianfan, and it suddenly dawned on him that the organization was following the path of Cheng Qianfan's Jiujiu Trading.
Cheng Qianfan is pro-Japanese and is said to have some internal connections with the Japanese army. His business in Jiujiu is basically unimpeded in Shanghai, and even the Japanese army will basically not face difficulties.
Some people who were flying around, as well as other people with shady identities, tried to bribe the shippers under Jiujiu Trading to pass the checkpoint.
Cheng Qianfan is famous for being greedy and lustful, and his subordinates also have the greedy nature of "can't afford to start early without profit". The first thing that comes to Ah Hai's mind now is that the organization must have spent a lot of money.
However, now that he knew that he had taken the path of 'Mr. Xiao Cheng', Ah Hai felt inexplicably relieved.
Cheng Qianfan is greedy, lustful, and a man of the common people. However, this person does one thing well. The principle of "Mr. Xiao Cheng" has always been to "use people's money to eliminate disasters", which is also the creed of Jiujiu Trading.
These subordinates of "Mr. Xiao Cheng" are willing to make any money, and they are often very aggressive. However, business continues because as long as they take the money, they will try their best to do it well.
…
Chang Sange took out a crumpled cigarette case from his body. Seeing this, Ah Hai hurriedly took out an unopened Marlboro from his body and stuffed it into Chang Sange's hand. "Third brother, I have it here, smoke mine."
Chan Sange glanced at the Marlboro in his hand, smiled and nodded, "Let's go."
Japanese soldiers with guns and ammunition were ferociously checking passers-by.
“Tuck the quilt in.” Brother Chang whispered.
"I understand, I understand." Ah Hai winked at Huang Xiaolan, "Sister, tuck your brother into bed."
The Japanese checkpoint was getting closer and closer. Several people tried their best to keep their expressions calm, but they became increasingly nervous in their hearts.
Shang Ming clenched his fists slightly and swallowed.
“Okay, Brother Leizi said it’ll be fine, don’t think about it so much.” He Guan glanced at Shang Ming and sighed.
"Yes." Shang Ming immediately realized his problem. He pretended to wipe the corners of his eyes and rubbed his face again, but he still couldn't keep his face as normal. He was also a smart guy, so he simply lowered his head and acted worried and sad. look like.
"Remember, when you see the locust army, you must bow and salute, and you are not allowed to stare at them." Chang Sange said, "You must smile."
As he said that, he glanced at Shang Ming and said, "Yes, it's okay if you can't laugh. It's better to be more humble and afraid."
“I understand.” Several people nodded in agreement.
…
The rigorous interrogation that Ah Hai, He Guan and others were worried about turned out to be better than expected.
When it was his turn to check on them, Brother Chang stepped forward with a smile on his face, took out a small flag from his body, and walked over holding the small flag.
Seeing this small flag, the fierce-looking Japanese soldiers also softened their expressions, and some soldiers waved hello to Brother Chang San.
Chang Sange took out a pack of cigarettes from his body. It was not the pack that Ah Hai gave him, but another pack of cigarettes. He opened the cigarettes, spread them around the Japanese soldiers, and finally put away most of the remaining pack of cigarettes. into the hands of Japanese military officers.
The sergeant lowered his head and looked at the cigarette box in his hand, his face darkened.
Chang Sange cursed secretly in his heart and took out the pack of Marlboros given to him by Ah Hai. He smiled flatteringly and put the pack of cigarettes in the hands of the Japanese military officer, "Taijun, there are more."
"Very good." The Japanese military officer nodded with satisfaction and pointed to the small flag in Brother Chang's hand. "Mr. Xiao Cheng is very good."
Then, with a wave of his hand, he motioned for A Hai and others to come over.
Chan Sange took out the ID card of "Shi Lei", pointed at the wheelbarrow, and said something to the Japanese military officer.
The Japanese sergeant nodded, but did not go up to check Fang Muheng on the wheelbarrow. He waved his hand.
Chan Sange just pushed the wheelbarrow through the checkpoint alone.
Ahai vaguely heard what Chang Sange said to the sergeant, including words such as 'cargo', 'worker', and 'escort'.
The body searches of these people were obviously much looser than those of other people, and they only touched their bodies symbolically.
Only when searching for Huang Xiaolan, a Japanese soldier obviously had a bad look in his eyes and moved his hands and feet.
He Guan's face changed slightly, and he suppressed the anger in his heart.
…
“Mr. Soldier, please respect yourself.” Huang Xiaolan suddenly said in stuttering Japanese.
“Can you speak Japanese?” The sergeant who was smoking next to him looked surprised and walked over to ask.
“My father is Japanese and my mother is Chinese.” Huang Xiaolan said.
Although the tone was a bit strange, the Japanese sergeant could understand it.
Hearing Huang Xiaolan say that her father is Japanese, the sergeant's face looked better.
He waved his hand towards the soldier who touched Huang Xiaolan and stopped his behavior. Then he looked at Huang Xiaolan and frowned slightly, "Your Japanese is very bad."
“Mr. Officer, I will work hard to learn the language of my motherland.” Huang Xiaolan said.
“Very good.” Sergeant laughed and nodded with satisfaction.
He waved his hand and said, "Go over there, hurry up."
Ahai took the lead, and several others bowed to the Japanese army, and then walked over in two steps to catch up with Brother Chang who was waiting in front.
…
Several people carried Fang Muheng and moved the wheelbarrow onto a small steamer waiting on the shore carrying a French flag.
There were already seven or eight people on the small steamer. Except for a few people who seemed to be Jiujiu merchants, three of them looked like people who spent money to buy the way like Ahai and others.
The small steamer blew its whistle.
Leaved the dock.
Brother Chang San was relieved. He lowered his voice and said angrily, "What did I say just now? Don't talk, don't talk. Why didn't you listen?"
He looked at Huang Xiaolan while speaking.
“That Japanese soldier obviously had evil intentions, and my sister couldn’t help it.” Ah Hai quickly explained in a low voice.
“What are you afraid of? If you are touched a few times by the Japanese, you will die.” Brother Chang cursed, glared at a few people, and walked away.
They collect money to do things. Now that the other party has successfully boarded the ship, the small steamer with the French flag will sail along the Huangpu River into the Suzhou River and then enter the concession. Unless there is something wrong, the Japanese will not come to inspect the concession. The marine police will not provoke Mr. Cheng's fleet.
Therefore, basically from now on, he has nothing to do with these people.
Although he didn't know the identities of these people, his experience and intuition told him that these people were not good friends. He should stay away from these people, and he would have nothing to do with them after all the money and money were spent.
…
“Well done.” Ah Hai looked at Huang Xiaolan and gave a thumbs up.
Arrange for Huang Xiaolan, who can speak some Japanese, to speak Japanese for emergency use when necessary. This is a decision made by Ah Hai after discussing with He Guan and Huang Xiaolan.
Because the Japanese soldiers at the checkpoint often bullied Chinese women, just two months ago, two sisters were forcibly abducted by the Japanese army in broad daylight as they passed the checkpoint. It was later said that they were tortured to death.
Now it seems that fortunately they are prepared, otherwise they would be in trouble.
“Who is ‘Mr. Xiao Cheng’?” He Guan looked around and asked in a low voice.
"'Mr. Xiao Cheng' is 'Inspector Xiao Cheng' Cheng Qianfan of the Central Patrol Room of the French Concession." Ah Hai said in a low voice, "This man is greedy for money and lust, and bullies merchants and citizens. There is a lot of public outrage. His Jiujiu business is a legal one." One of the three largest trading companies in the black market in the concession."
"Cheng Qianfan is close to the Japanese, and the caravans of Jiujiu Trading are traveling unimpeded on Shanghai Beach. 'Big Brother' and the others should have spent money to buy Jiujiu Trading's route." Ah Hai continued to explain.
‘Mr. Xiao Cheng’ turned out to be Qian Fan?
He Guan was extremely surprised.
…
“Cheng Qianfan has been promoted?” he asked.
"Promoted, Jin Kemu, you must have heard of it. This person used to be the Deputy Chief Inspector of the Central Patrol Room, and is now the Chief Inspector. Cheng Qianfan became the Deputy Chief Inspector of the Central Patrol Room, known as 'Mr. Little Cheng' ." Ahai said.
"'Inspector Xiao Cheng', 'Mr. Xiao Cheng'." He Guan looked at the river and said, "It's becoming more prestigious."
"It's indeed majestic." Ahai nodded, "This person is trusted by the French, and he is also quite close to the Japanese. It is said that he also has some contacts with the British and Americans. Now the name of 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' is Shanghai Beach is ringing.”
“Has Cheng Qianfan defected to the Japanese?” He Guan asked.
"I don't know. This person is very close to the Japanese. This is an iron fact." Ah Hai closed his mouth and waited for someone to pass by before continuing to whisper, "However, everyone said that Cheng Qianfan will be a traitor sooner or later."
…
In the underground torture chamber.
“I am not a ‘traitor’!” Chang Shenyi said.
He grimaced in pain and sucked in air, but he showed no fear of death, "I, Oku Hideo, am a warrior of the Japanese Empire."
