Chapter 630 The captain is stubborn
Cheng Qianfan appeared at Lu Dazhang’s home with two boxes of bar cakes and mung bean cakes from Shen Dacheng Pastry Shop.
Lu Dazhang personally greeted Mr. Cheng at the door of his home.
“Brother Cheng, you’re here as soon as you come. Do you have anything else to bring?” Lu Dazhang said with a smile.
“Bought snacks for my eldest nephew.” Cheng Qianfan handed the things over.
Lu Dazhang took it with a smile, and the two of them entered with greetings.
“Where are my sister-in-law and eldest nephew?”
“I went to visit next door.”
Cheng Qianfan nodded, knowing that it was Lu Dazhang who answered his call and arranged for his family to go out to provide space for the two of them to talk secretly.
Lu Dazhang led Cheng Qianfan into the study and made a pot of tea.
The two of them drank tea and talked secretly.
…
"The important thing about this jewelry box may not be the jewelry inside. Maybe there are other important things hidden in it." Lu Dazhang thought for a moment and said.
"I think so too." Cheng Qianfan nodded and thought, "It's possible that it's a secret code, confidential information, or some kind of token."
“Generally speaking, the physical evidence collected at the scene will be placed in the evidence room.” Lu Dazhang said, “However, if there are more precious jewelry in this jewelry box, it would be difficult to tell.”
Cheng Qianfan smiled, he understood what Lu Dazhang meant.
When the patrol finds something good or of average value, everyone will share it privately or resell it for money.
If it is a more valuable item, it will be presented to the superior, and the superior will not treat his subordinates badly, and will often provide a certain amount of financial subsidies.
“Xiang Buwei!”
“To the fox!”
The two looked at each other and said in unison.
Xiang Fox is the nickname of Xiang Buwei, the deputy chief inspector of the Beitang District Patrol Room, describing this person as quite shrewd and cunning.
A distant relative of Xiang Buwei opened a **** shop, which was a **** shop in name only. He secretly resold gold and silver jewelry and other valuables, including some of "unknown origin". This was no secret within the patrol room of the French Concession.
…
“At Sanbonjiro’s place, I called Zhao Gangchen’s name.” Cheng Qianfan said.
"I'll go find Lao Zhao and clear this matter privately through him." Lu Dazhang immediately understood and nodded.
Inspector Lu was generous with his wealth and had a wide network of friends. He and Zhao Gangchen were good brothers in the gang. Cheng Qianfan got acquainted with Zhao Gangchen through Lu Dazhang.
Most importantly, Zhao Gangchen was Xiang Buwei's number one confidant, and secretly helped Xiang Buwei do many dirty things. It is said that the **** shop opened by Xiang Buwei's relative was affiliated with Zhao Gangchen.
"It's not difficult to get the thing out." Cheng Qianfan frowned and said, "The difficult thing is how to do it without anyone noticing."
Yes, for the Japanese, it may take some trouble to find the jewelry box that was confiscated by the patrol room and get the "evidence" out.
However, for the gangsters in the patrol room like Cheng Qianfan and Lu Dazhang, it was just a matter of striking up a conversation and "communicating" internally. It was easy to make excuses, so they just asked for help from the host's family.
Cheng Qianfan and Lu Dazhang were not thinking about getting the jewelry box itself, but how to find out the secrets hidden in the jewelry box without anyone noticing.
The first consideration is how not to arouse the suspicion of the Japanese.
If a Japanese person gets a jewelry box and finds that it has been tampered with, they will definitely be suspicious.
Because according to the information Cheng Qianfan got from Sanbonjiro, the jewelry box itself is very ordinary. People’s attention will be more on the precious jewelry in the jewelry box, rather than pondering and studying such an ordinary jewelry. box.
Therefore, once the Japanese discover that the jewelry box itself has been tampered with, anyone who has come into contact with the jewelry box will arouse suspicion among the Japanese.
“Lao Lu, you are familiar with the situation in the **** shop. Can you tell me what they will do with this humble jewelry box?” Cheng Qianfan suddenly asked.
"Generally speaking, if the jewelry box itself is a treasure, it will naturally be placed together with these accessories." Lu Dazhang thought, "If the jewelry box itself is not valuable, naturally the jewelry will be taken out separately, and the jewelry box will be regarded as They are ordinary items, if they are in good condition, they can be sold separately on consignment, and if they are in average condition, they can be placed randomly, even if they are left to gather dust in the corner of the warehouse, it is not unusual at all."
"Lao Lu, please adjust your plan. I will contact Zhao Gangchen alone, while you..."
"I secretly inquired about the whereabouts of the jewelry box, and then..."
The two looked at each other and laughed.
…
Both Cheng Qianfan and Lu Dazhang enjoy this kind of tacit understanding.
Cheng Qianfan meant to contact Zhao Chengang through "normal channels" and find a way to find and "redeem" the jewelry and jewelry box.
This is also a natural delay.
Lu Dazhang searched for the jewelry box privately, trying to get it before Cheng Qianfan.
In this way, Lu Dazhang, who was working on this matter privately, would not appear in the sight of the Japanese, avoiding the risk of being suspected.
As for Cheng Qianfan, "Kentaro Miyazaki" has been trying hard to find the jewelry box. He has never even seen the face of the jewelry box, so there is no suspicion. At most, he is not doing things well.
“If things go wrong, will it affect your status with Sanbonjiro?” Lu Dazhang asked with concern.
“Sanbonjiro appears to be incorruptible, but in reality he is greedy.” Cheng Qianfan smiled slightly.
Lu Dazhang nodded and understood.
As long as Kentaro Miyazaki’s red wine gift is there, his status with Sanbonjiro will be as stable as an old dog.
“Besides, it’s not a bad thing for me to mess up something occasionally.” Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression.
Lu Dazhang thought for a moment, nodded, and was convinced.
…
Honolulu Road.
Tang Xiaoye took Yang Ximei's hand and went out.
“Come back early.” Mrs. Fang warned at the door.
"I know, I'm going to Xiaoshu's house, not far away." Tang Xiaoye said.
“Mom, goodbye.” Yang Ximei waved her hand.
“Take good care of my little sister, this is a chaotic situation.” Mrs. Fang warned again.
“I understand.” Tang Xiaoye agreed.
At the entrance of the alley, there were two idle men dressed in shorts and smoking, bragging and chatting. When they saw the second and third young ladies of the Fang family coming out, they smiled ingratiatingly.
Tang Xiaoye held Ximei's hand and passed by with an expressionless face. Naturally, she was afraid of these naughty men.
Although the French Concession is not peaceful, there are cases happening from time to time, and it is not safe for the two girls to go out.
However, despite being afraid, Tang Xiaoye also knew that these scoundrels and scoundrels would never dare to provoke the second young lady of the Fang family.
This is not only because Fang Guohua is rich and powerful, but most importantly, everyone knows that Tang Xiaoye is Mr. Xiao Cheng's sister, and no one dares to provoke Mr. Xiao Cheng.
This also made the little girl a little irritable. She didn't want to admit her love for the pro-Japanese elements in the French Concession, the black-hearted police patrol, and Xiao Cheng Qianfan, but she actually enjoyed the protection brought by "Brother Qianfan".
When Tang Xiaoye and Yang Ximei walked away, the two Xianhan's flattering eyes disappeared and they stared in the direction they left.
"Nothing unusual. I heard just now that the second young lady of the Fang family is going to that little Shu's house." The taller idle man said, "I know that little Shu is a classmate of the second young lady of the Fang family in a girls' school."
"Hmm." The shorter man nodded and sat down on a stone on the roadside. "When will we be the same as each other these days?"
“The captain arranged it and said he would keep an eye on the Fang family.” The tall man said, “How dare you disobey the captain’s orders?”
"The captain is also a fool." The short man sighed, "That Fang Muheng has been away from home for more than a year. He might have died outside because of the chaos of the war."
