Chapter 678 Taozi’s intuition
Araki Harima stared at Lu Fei.
Lu Fei is taller than him.
Then, Araki Harima saw that the Chinese man in front of him bowed even lower.
A proud and satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he patted Lu Fei on the shoulder, "Mr. Lu, there is an old saying in China that he who knows the current affairs is a hero. I am very happy that you are that hero."
“Taijun, you are wrong.” Lu Fei raised his head with a serious expression, “It should be said to be the China of the Empire of Japan.”
Araki Harima was stunned for a moment, then took a deep look at Lu Fei, and then laughed loudly, "Mr. Lu, you are very good, very good."
"Reporting to Mr. Taijun." Lu Fei said, "When I received the call from home today, I was in a meeting at No. 19 Cordier Road."
“What is this place?” Araki Harima asked immediately.
“This is a secret stronghold of Shanghai Station. The entire middle and high-level staff of Shanghai Station, including acting station director Zheng Lijun, are here today.”
“Everyone is here?” Araki Harima was overjoyed and asked again.
"All the middle and high-level people are here." Lu Fei confirmed, "On August 13th two weeks ago, these despicable Japanese haters launched many attacks against the Empire of Japan. Today, Shanghai Station received a commendation from Chongqing. make."
The "Nagging" next to him heard Lu Fei's name for Qian Paoze at Shanghai Station. He glanced at Lu Fei and then whispered to his cousin, "Brother-in-law has a future."
Zhao Rui did not answer her cousin's words. Her mind was filled with fear and confusion.
She had always thought that her man was in business, but now she suddenly learned of Lu Fei's true identity. She was stunned. Now, the man was caught by the Japanese, and he looked like he was ready to defect to the Japanese. , which made her even more at a loss.
…
“So, you are having a celebration meeting today?” Araki Harima asked.
"It's them." Lu Fei corrected, he seemed to care about the words between the lines.
Araki Harima ignored the man in front of him and looked at the time. "At this time, according to your judgment, are they still at No. 19 Cordier Road?"
“Not sure.” Lu Fei shook his head, and when he saw Araki Harima frowning, he quickly explained, “According to tradition, there will be a celebration banquet today. At this time, they may have already gone to the restaurant.”
“Do you know which restaurant it is?” Araki Harima asked hurriedly.
“Hongyun Restaurant near Cordier Road.” Lu Fei said, “Zheng Lijun thinks this restaurant has a good name.”
…
Qiao Chuntao is very careful and cautious.
He secretly observed for about a quarter of an hour, making sure that A Yuan was fine and not being followed, and then he walked over.
A Yuan, who was impatient to wait, became alert and decided to leave for safety reasons.
Then he saw a man wearing a sun hat, which was held down a little low, with sunglasses on the bridge of his nose and dressed in a suit, walking over.
This person looks familiar.
“A Yuan.” Qiao Chuntao said.
"Mr. Yang, you are late." A Yuan frowned and said after hearing the voice.
“It did not exceed the agreed last time.” Qiao Chuntao said.
As he said that, he took out a duffle bag from the briefcase he was holding, showed it to A Yuan, and then put it back into the briefcase.
“What do you want to know?” A Yuan asked with a greedy look in his eyes, and then a smile on his face.
“Luo Daoxing, nicknamed ‘Nagging’, this person was from your Shanghai Station two years ago.” Qiao Chuntao said, “Who was this person’s direct boss when he was at Shanghai Station? Does he have any relatives in Shanghai?”
"I didn't join the Secret Service two years ago." A Yuan's face fell a little, "I have never even heard of the person you are talking about."
As he spoke, he shook his head, "I can't take this business."
…
"Why?" Qiao Chuntao asked. As he spoke, he took out the bag containing the silver coins and showed his face.
"Can you put that thing away? It makes me upset." A Yuan glared at 'Yang Yu' angrily, and then explained a few words, "First, this person came before I entered Shanghai Station. I am very unfamiliar with this name, and it is difficult to find out about him."
“This is not an absolute reason. There is no reason not to make money if you have money.” Qiao Chuntao said.
"This is the second point I want to make. It is too dangerous to rashly inquire about someone who was not at Shanghai Station two years ago. Although I don't know why you want to investigate this person, there is a high probability that this person will Something happened, or it caused great trouble." A Yuan spat and said, "No matter what the situation is, I will be in trouble if I ask about it."
Qiao Chuntao was silent.
He did not walk around with the silver dollars in his briefcase to stimulate A Yuan. Although he had not had much contact with this A Yuan, he was able to judge this person's character:
This Ah Yuan is indeed very greedy for money and will sell anything for money.
However, this guy is also very cautious and cherishes his life.
“Under the condition of ensuring your own safety, you can-” Qiao Chuntao said.
"No answer." A Yuan shook his head with a very firm attitude, "As long as I ask the old man at the station about that 'nagging', it will definitely arouse suspicion."
"I'm sorry, you can't earn this money." Qiao Chuntao shook his head.
“If you can’t make money this time, there will be another time. If you take the money this time, you may lose your life and spend it.” A Yuan said.
…
"Did anything special happen at Shanghai Station today?" Qiao Chuntao was about to leave, but something moved in his heart and he asked one more question.
A Yuan did not answer, but looked at Qiao Chuntao's briefcase.
Taozi didn't hesitate at all. He took out the robe from his briefcase and threw it to A Yuan.
"Today the station held a commendation meeting for the 'August 13 Exposure'." A Yuan said in a low voice, "Shangfeng was praised, but he still had to eat, drink, hug women, pity us little guys."
“Which restaurant is it at?” Qiao Chuntao asked immediately.
A Yuan looked at Qiao Chuntao, "I can't say this."
He didn’t wait for Qiao Chuntao to say, and added, “This is not about money.”
“Are all the officers participating?” Qiao Chuntao thought in her mind and asked again.
“All officers are participating.” A Yuan nodded, and immediately showed a thoughtful look.
"Is there someone who won't participate?" Qiao Chuntao caught A Yuan's expression change and immediately asked, "Why doesn't that person participate?"
“It should be the leader of the action team, Lu Fei.” A Yuan thought for a while and said.
“Why doesn’t this person participate?” Qiao Chuntao asked.
This is a bit strange. This person should not be absent from this kind of celebration banquet attended by middle and high-level people without a valid reason.
“It is said that Team Leader Lu’s son suddenly became seriously ill and was about to die.” A Yuan thought for a while and said, “I’m not sure. Anyway, his family has something urgent.”
"To tell you the truth, 'Nagging' has defected to the Japanese. We now suspect that 'Nagging' will betray the Shanghai Station." Qiao Chuntao's voice was cold and a little anxious, "Is this Lu Fei's 'Nagging' previously in Chief of Shanghai Station?"
“I said I don’t know.” A Yuan frowned.
“Tell me which restaurant they are in?”
“This is impossible.” A Yuan shook his head.
At this time, a patrolman in the distance came towards us. He stared at the two men for a long time.
A Yuan and Qiao Chuntao also noticed the patrolman.
Without hesitation, the two of them stretched out their hands almost at the same time, shook hands, said goodbye, and then turned around and left.
About ten minutes later, A Yuan came out of another alley. His brows were furrowed and he stretched out his hand to hail a rickshaw.
“To Notre Dame Road.”
…
No. 22, Xue Huali Road.
“It’s so noisy, what are you doing?” Mr. Xiao Cheng opened the office door and asked with a bad expression.
Seeing that Mr. Cheng was being disturbed from his afternoon nap, the two policemen quickly stood at attention and saluted.
“Reporting to Vice President Cheng, we have arrested a few students. They are...” a patrol officer quickly reported.
“If you arrest them, arrest them. Lock them up first, and then notify their families to come and release them for bail.” Cheng Qianfan yawned, interrupted the patrol report, and said angrily, “What’s the fuss about?”
“I reported to Vice President Cheng, just a few poor students, wearing rags.” Another tall and thin patrolman said, “I meant to let him go, but he didn’t agree…”
“Why are you catching a poor student?” Cheng Qianfan glared, “He still needs a meal.”
As he said that, he slammed the door shut.
The two patrolmen outside the door looked at each other.
“I’ve said it a long time ago, this kind of poor student can’t squeeze out any profit. How can Vice President Cheng not be angry?”
“But these little **** are posting anti-Japanese notices...”
"Shut up, you should be a good f*cking person!" The tall and thin patrolman's face changed, and he lowered his voice and said, "My family is gone, my parents are gone, and my school is gone. It's so pitiful."
…
Inside the door.
Cheng Qianfan nodded secretly.
He just deliberately got angry when he got out of bed, before his men could tell why these students were arrested.
Xiao Ding still has some conscience.
Xiao Ding is the tall and thin patrolman.
Xiao Ding joined the Central Patrol Room after Qin Di resigned.
He had secretly observed this subordinate.
Xiao Ding is a good guy at making money, but he has a bottom line when doing things and gets along well with his colleagues. In short, in all aspects, his performance is much better than Qin Di's original performance.
Yes.
Cheng Qianfan highly doubts that Xiao Ding is a comrade of our party, although he does not have any evidence.
However, he once asked Comrade Dandelion about this matter, and Comrade Dandelion denied that Xiao Ding was a comrade of our party.
This made Cheng Qianfan even more interested in this new subordinate.
Jingle Bell.
The office phone rang.
Cheng Qianfan picked up the phone receiver.
"Okay, I understand." Putting down the phone receiver, Cheng Qianfan came to the window, opened the blinds and looked outside, and saw a car parked opposite the gate, and Haozi stood beside the car smoking.
…
“Vice President Cheng!”
“Vice President Cheng!”
“Vice President Cheng!”
Looking at Mr. Cheng, the patrol officers along the way stopped, stood at attention, and saluted.
“Hey, this little **** is quite impressive.” Zhang Xiaolin said, holding a telescope in both hands in a three-story building diagonally opposite the central patrol room.
“The youngest deputy chief inspector in the French Concession so far, how can he not be majestic?” Yu Xiaomin snorted and said.
“More majestic than me?” Zhang Xiaolin handed the binoculars to a subordinate and took a sip on the ground.
“That’s not possible.” Yu Xiaomin chuckled and said. He looked at Zhang Xiaolin, “Boss, that’s it?”
“The Japanese have spoken out, what else can we do?” Zhang Xiaolin said with an angry expression.
According to his idea, what would happen even if the Japanese spoke?
He didn't believe it. He killed Cheng Qianfan, and the Japanese would really question him because of a dead Cheng Qianfan.
Deputy Chief Inspector of the Central Patrol Office of the French Concession, what a big official, ugh, in Zhang Xiaolin’s eyes, he is just a little loser!
However, Pang Shui advised him, saying that no matter what, it was Sanbonjiro from the extra-high school class who had spoken, and it was not worth offending Sanbonjiro for Cheng Qianfan.
Zhang Xiaolin thought about it, and finally suppressed the murderous intention in his heart for the time being.
…
Seeing Cheng Qianfan approaching, Li Hao skillfully opened the rear door.
“Brother Fan.”
“Yeah.” Cheng Qianfan bent down and got into the car, “Let’s drive.”
"yes!"
The car drove for about ten minutes and stopped at an intersection. A graceful woman quickly opened the door and came in. The car immediately accelerated.
Li Hao glanced at the mirror and pursed his lips. He was suppressing a smile.
Taozi, who was disguised as a woman, snorted.
“Okay, Haozi, please pay attention.” Cheng Qianfan scolded Li Hao, “Just laugh!”
While speaking, the corners of his own mouth also raised slightly.
Taozi looked at the team leader, who immediately looked serious.
…
“Tell me what you learned.” Cheng Qianfan said.
Tao Zi then reported to the team leader how she met A Yuan.
"A commendation meeting? And a celebration banquet?" Cheng Qianfan asked with a gloomy face and a frown.
“Yes.” Qiao Chuntao nodded.
"How long have you been doing this?" Cheng Qianfan snorted coldly, "Just wait and see, sooner or later something will happen to our neighbor, something big!"
“Team leader, you may not have to wait any longer, something may happen to them today.” Qiao Chuntao said.
“Do you suspect that Lu Fei was the commander of Nagging and was deceived by Nagging?” Cheng Qianfan said.
He looked at Taozi with admiration. After Taozi told about the situation of "Team Leader Lu Feilu", Cheng Qianfan became alert and felt that there was something wrong.
And Tao Zi can also see the danger contained here, which makes him very happy. He is worthy of being someone he has always valued.
"What a coincidence." Qiao Chuntao said, "Team leader, you have also analyzed before that if Nagging wants to claim credit from the Japanese, the person most likely to betray him first is his former direct superior at Shanghai Station."
He thought for a while and continued, "Generally speaking, you shouldn't be absent from this kind of celebration banquet unless there are special circumstances, and no one would be willing to be absent from such a thing. Lu Fei's absence is too strange."
"Although it is not ruled out that Lu Fei's child is indeed acutely ill, I first suspect that there is something wrong with this person." Qiao Chuntao continued.
“Reason?” Cheng Qianfan asked.
"There is no reason." Qiao Chuntao shook his head, "If I have to find a reason, it would be intuition. I don't believe in coincidences."
"Your intuition may be right." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "We have to trust our intuition, especially when we are in danger. It can even save lives. And in this case, since we have this intuition, besides In addition to reminding yourself to be alert to dangers, what you also need to do is to calm down as much as possible and find evidence to prove your intuition.”
Speaking, he looked at Taozi and said, "Think about the details carefully."
Qiao Chuntao frowned and thought.
About two or three minutes later, his eyes lit up, "The address of the Shanghai Station's commendation meeting should be kept strictly confidential, and department personnel should be prohibited from contacting the outside world without authorization. Why did Lu Fei suddenly learn that his child was sick during the meeting? news?"
