Chapter 666 Mist
It started to rain in the evening.
The rain is quite heavy.
Li Hao stopped the car, put it in neutral, pulled up the handbrake, and got out of the car.
Put up an umbrella and open the car door.
“Wait for me here.” Cheng Qianfan took the umbrella from Haozi’s hand and ordered, “If I don’t come back in an hour and a half, bring someone to find me.”
“Brother Fan, the road patrol chief probably doesn’t know how to do it,” Li Hao said.
"These days, I treat people with sincerity, but I have to be cautious." Cheng Qianfan shook his head gently and said with emotion, "Of course, Lu Dazhang has no reason to harm me, he is just prepared."
“I understand.” Li Hao nodded.
…
This is a relatively simple snack bar. The eaves in the corner are even leaking, and the rainwater makes a dripping sound when it falls.
"You, the road patrol chief, chose such a crappy place for a treat?" Cheng Qianfan casually put his hat on the table and reached out to touch the stool, which was stained with oil. He clicked his tongue, but just threw it away. sit down.
“Brother Cheng, I am not bragging. After drinking this mutton soup, you must be thinking about the next trip.” Lu Dazhang laughed and poured wine into Cheng Qianfan’s glass.
“Then I want to try it.” Cheng Qianfan laughed and said, “If it’s not delicious, your brother Lu will owe me a French meal.”
“I thought with your habits, Mr. Cheng, if you were not happy with your meal, you would send someone to destroy the shop.” Lu Dazhang said teasingly.
“That’s not possible.” Cheng Qianfan shook his head, “Don’t offend doctors and cooks.”
As he spoke, he leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice, "Even if we really want to kill the doctor and the cook, we have to wait until we are well treated or have enough food and drink."
"As expected of Mr. Cheng." Lu Dazhang shook his head and said. He glanced at the car across the road and asked, "Haozi is here too?"
“Brother Lu, I’ll give you a drink, and I’ll risk my life to accompany you at the wine table. I don’t dare to drive drunk,” Cheng Qianfan said.
Lu Dazhang nodded and understood instantly.
In his heart, he was filled with admiration for Comrade Huo Miao's boldness and carefulness. He brought his subordinates and cronies from the Secret Service to the appointment openly. In this way, it would not arouse any suspicion, because he, Lu Dazhang, and Xiao Cheng always had a good relationship. Yes, there are many contacts.
In addition, Lu Dazhang knew Li Hao's background information. Although Li Hao was also a member of the Secret Service, he was brought into the Secret Service by Cheng Qianfan. In fact, Li Hao was Cheng Qianfan's absolute confidant.
Hence, choosing Li Hao to follow is a clever move.
…
The shop owners are a middle-aged couple.
At this moment, the two of them were busy working under the dim light with dull expressions.
The fire is red.
The air began to be filled with the unique aroma of mutton soup.
“Have you found anything useful in your research?” Cheng Qianfan asked in a low voice.
"No." Lu Dazhang shook his head, "From the surface, this is a very ordinary mahogany jewelry box. I checked carefully and there is no hidden compartment."
As he spoke, Lu Dazhang picked up a peanut, took a sip of wine, chewed it and said, "My opinion is that this is just an ordinary jewelry box. It is nothing special in itself. However, this jewelry box may have a Characteristics, and this characteristic is known only to those in the know, so it can be used as some kind of contact token."
"It is indeed possible." Cheng Qianfan picked up a piece of mutton and dipped it in balsamic vinegar. "In fact, this situation is the safest."
“Then we worked so hard to get this jewelry box, but it’s actually useless.” Lu Dazhang said regretfully.
"You can't look at it this way." Cheng Qianfan said, "We took the jewelry box preemptively, which in itself will affect the actions and plans of the Japanese. This in itself is success and victory."
“That’s the truth.” Lu Dazhang and Cheng Qianfan clinked glasses and said happily.
He took a sip of wine, thought for a while, and said, "I just thought about it. With your ability, there won't be no follow-up."
Cheng Qianfan made a sip of wine with a sip of wine, and a smile appeared on his face, "The one who knows me is Brother Lu."
He did not explain his next move to Lu Dazhang, and Lu Dazhang did not continue to ask.
This is not distrust. Before the results come out, the more people know about this kind of thing, the more danger it will be. Both of them are ace agents under Comrade "Zhulin", so they can understand this.
…
The mutton soup tasted really good. Cheng Qianfan gave it a thumbs up and praised it repeatedly.
“Brother Lu is indeed a gourmet of the patrol house in the French Concession.” Cheng Qianfan said with admiration.
“What about what I just said?” Lu Dazhang squinted his eyes with a smile on his face.
“If you see the money, you can ship the goods. You can go out through the small east gate. I will say hello in advance.” Cheng Qianfan said, “However, you have to pay an extra amount for transportation.”
"Okay." Lu Dazhang nodded, "I am only responsible for carrying the message, but I think the other side will agree."
When the two met this time, it was actually Lu Dazhang who handed over the jewelry box to Cheng Qianfan. However, the apparent reason was that Lu Dazhang, as a middleman, helped Jiujiu Trading contact a larger goods transaction, so that he could Cover your eyes and ears.
Cheng Qianfan carried his locked briefcase and held an umbrella out of the shop.
The rain was heavy, hitting the umbrella like crazy.
“Brother Fan.” Li Hao opened the car door in the rain and took the umbrella from Cheng Qianfan’s hand.
After Cheng Qianfan got into the car, he put the umbrella in the trunk and ran into the cab in the rain.
Start the car.
Li Hao turned on the car lights, on, off, on, off again, on again.
This was a safety signal to the brothers who were guarding nearby. After breaking up with Zhang Xiaolin, Mr. Xiao Cheng decisively improved his security work.
Even though there are only Cheng Qianfan and Li Hao in the car, there are also two cars and a total of eight people in the dark.
In the dark night, a car in front started, turned on its lights, and drove slowly through the rainy night.
Li Hao’s car also moved.
Behind, there was another car that also turned on its headlights and followed closely.
“There will be a batch of goods leaving the small east gate in two days. This is our first time doing business there, so be careful.” Cheng Qianfan said.
“Okay, Brother Fan.” Li Hao nodded, “With your prestige, Brother Fan, I guess no one would dare to take the risk.”
"Be careful and you won't make a big mistake." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "Remember, those who drown are those who know how to swim."
“Besides, don’t forget, we have fallen out with Zhang Xiaolin now. That old guy is not someone who will suffer the consequences of being dumb.” He said with a serious expression.
"I understand." Li Hao said, "I will watch it personally."
…
Yandri.
Pang Shui stood on the second floor with the window open.
He held up the telescope with both hands and tried his best to observe.
“This one is plagued.” He cursed.
It was raining heavily and it was late at night, so the telescope could not see anything at all.
At this time, the car lights penetrated the rain and fog, lighting up the dark rainy night.
“Master Shui, it should be Cheng Qianfan who is back.” One of his subordinates shouted excitedly.
“Sishenniang!” Pang Shui scolded, “keep your voice down, don’t be heard.”
Hand curled his lips, it was windy and rainy, you could hear **** outside.
“Sishenniang! Shut up!” Pang Shui cursed, “It’s so noisy!”
Although Zhang Xiaolin issued the order, Pang Shui did not intend to take action at this moment and here.
It wasn't that he wanted to disobey Zhang Xiaolin's order. It was actually a rainy day and his vision was limited. He was not sure he could hit it with one hit.
It would be bad if the shot was fired but Cheng Qianfan was not killed.
Although the power and men of ‘Mr. Xiao Cheng’ are incomparable to Zhang Xiaolin’s, in the French Concession, Zhang Xiaolin would have a headache if Xiao Cheng would retaliate ruthlessly.
…
A car drove into the alley ahead of me.
There are two cars behind.
The last car stopped at the entrance of the alley, the street lights were on, and two people in raincoats could be vaguely seen getting out of the car, looking around cautiously.
The car at the head drove all the way, passed the door of Cheng Qianfan's house, and drove forward for more than 20 meters.
Then the car stopped, and three people got out of the car and came to the door of Cheng Qianfan's house holding black umbrellas.
At this time, the car in the middle drove to the door of the house and stopped.
A man got out of the car on the passenger side, took out an umbrella from the trunk, and held it up.
Four umbrellas were raised, covering Cheng Qianfan almost perfectly.
Pang Shui's face was gloomy. He was not sure that he could kill Cheng Qianfan in one go, so he decided not to take action. However, seeing that Cheng Qianfan was on such tight guard, his expression became even more unpleasant, which showed that it was not that easy to kill this guy.
He spat on the ground and muttered "fear of death"!
…
"Why do you drink so much wine?" Bai Ruolan hadn't rested yet. She smelled the smell of alcohol on Cheng Qianfan's body and couldn't help but frowning.
“The road inspector treated me to a treat and introduced a big deal.” Cheng Qianfan took the sobering tea that his wife had prepared long ago, drank half the cup, wiped his mouth and said.
“What’s that?” He pointed to the suitcase in the corner.
The suitcase is new, not from home.
"Xiaoye called and said someone would deliver something, and then someone delivered this suitcase." Bai Ruolan said.
Cheng Qianfan was suddenly startled, and most of his drunkenness was gone.
“Have you opened the box?” he asked.
"No." Bai Ruolan shook her head, "I will never touch your things, you know."
Then, Bai Ruolan also looked panicked, "Is it in danger?"
She reacted quickly and understood why her husband asked.
"There shouldn't be any danger." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "But I recently had a falling out with Zhang Xiaolin. That old guy is not a moral person."
Instructing Bai Ruolan to stay away, Cheng Qianfan took the stethoscope, flashlight, tweezers, and razor blades.
He lay on the box and listened carefully with a stethoscope. He heard no clicking sound, which preliminarily ruled out the suspicion that there was a time bomb inside.
Then, he shined a flashlight again and carefully checked to make sure there was no danger such as a grenade fuse hanging on the wire. Then Cheng Qianfan carefully opened the suitcase.
Inside were neatly stacked two rows of small yellow croakers, as well as foreign currencies such as British pounds, US knives, francs, Japanese yen, and some French currency.
“So much money.” Bai Ruolan said in surprise.
“Well, my little sister’s friend asked me to do something.” Cheng Qianfan said.
Bai Ruolan didn't ask any more questions. She never asked about her husband's work and the "work" he did secretly.
Bai Ruolan knew in her heart that although she was very worried about her husband, she must not ask more questions unless her husband took the initiative to tell her or needed her help and cooperation. Otherwise, she would try her best to avoid suspicion, which would be the greatest support for her husband's work.
To be precise, it is the contribution he can make to Cheng Qianfan and the safety of this family.
…
After chatting with Bai Ruolan for a while, Cheng Qianfan returned to the study.
When he was leaning on the recliner and thinking about something, the cat who was sleeping on the bed in the study almost got up with his eyes closed, jumped out of bed slowly, walked slowly, then took off, jumped into Cheng Qianfan's arms, and rubbed against it. After a while, I found a comfortable position and continued to sleep.
The cat’s eyes are almost always closed throughout the process.
Cheng Qianfan was amused. He stroked the cat's fur, and the cat arched again in comfort, and soon purred.
“Lazy cat!” Cheng Qianfan chuckled.
He continued to think.
Cheng Qianfan’s previous guess about Bai Feiyu, whom Tang Xiaoye asked him to help release, was that he should be a comrade of our party like his younger sister.
There are two bases for his conclusion.
One is because of Tang Xiaoye. According to his guess, the younger sister should be a comrade in the party, and Cheng Qianfan was extremely confident about this.
The identity of the person our party wants to rescue is easy to guess. There is a high probability that he is a comrade in the party, or at least a patriotic person.
Secondly, according to Tang Xiaoye, this person has not committed a crime and is innocent. He could have been released. However, because Wang Kangnian of the Dadao Municipal Police Department has been strongly demanding Bai Feiyu's extradition, Mai Inspector Lan refused to let him go, saying that it was necessary to continue the investigation.
The most important reason that made Cheng Qianfan judge that Bai Feiyu was a comrade of our party was the latter——
Wang Kangnian is eyeing Bai Feiyu!
Cheng Qianfan knew Wang Kangnian very well. This guy defected to the Japanese, became a traitor, and acted as a **** of the Japanese.
Based on Cheng Qianfan's observation of Wang Kangnian, Wang Kangnian seemed to have little interest in catching the anti-Japanese elements in Chongqing. He was still like a mad dog, bent on arresting Red Party members and anti-Japanese comrades who were close to the Red Party.
Bai Feiyu was not arrested in the Japanese-occupied area, but was arrested by the Mailan Police Station, and had been cleared by his relatives and friends to be released. At this time, Wang Kangnian targeted Bai Feiyu—
Cheng Qianfan’s first reaction was that Wang Kangnian found out Bai Feiyu’s identity as a member of the Red Party.
As for why the organization did not contact him to rescue Bai Feiyu, but Tang Xiaoye came to ask for his help?
Cheng Qianfan was not surprised.
His identity is highly confidential. Within the local party organization in Shanghai, only "Dandelion" and "Charterer" know his identity.
Even other leading comrades within the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee do not know his identity.
Therefore, Cheng Qianfan deduced that it was Tang Xiaoye's superior who came to him to rescue Bai Feiyu through Tang Xiaoye after knowing about her relationship with him.
This makes sense.
Of course, this kind of normal contact is business dealings -
Got to give money!
However, Cheng Qianfan was deeply puzzled by the contents of the suitcase sent by Tang Xiaoye's friend.
He is no longer so sure of his previous judgment.
