Chapter 708 Old Sir
"Zhou Ru said it was a secret message sent by the bureau chief to the team leader." Haozi said.
Cheng Qianfan nodded and understood.
It was a secret message given to him by Dai Chunfeng, and only he himself knew the password.
“Go to Zhou Ru’s place.” Cheng Qianfan lifted the car curtain with two fingers, glanced out, and said.
“Yes.” Li Hao skillfully turned right and drove towards Father Jin Road.
"Let's talk about Bai Saizhonglu's case." Cheng Qianfan bent down and picked up a glass bead on the carpet in the back row. This was a red glass bead, which was Xiaobao's favorite. Xiaobao had lost the glass before. Zhu, I was very sad for several days.
“There was a home invasion and robbery at No. 23, Bai Saizhong Road. The head of the household was a manager of Saiyan Bank, named Hu Yanhao. He was shot multiple times and is still being treated in the hospital,” Li Hao said.
“Can it be saved?”
"There is little hope." Haozi shook his head, "It is said that the shot was in the abdomen and back."
“Where are the other members of the injured family? What valuables were lost at home?” Cheng Qianfan continued to ask.
"Mrs. Hu and her children were away from home, and only Hu Yanhao and the maid were at home. According to statistics when Mrs. Hu came back, some small yellow croakers and valuable jewelry were missing." Haozi said, "Brother Fan, Brother Lu is already investigating this case."
Looking in the rearview mirror, Li Hao saw Cheng Qianfan frowning and thinking. Li Hao thought about the case carefully, and there seemed to be nothing special about it.
No, there is something special about it, that is, the murderer used the name "Jiang Mulezi Border Protection Brigade No. 3 Squadron" after committing the crime.
“Brother Fan, do you think there is something wrong with them because they used the name Jiang Mule?” Li Hao asked.
"Yes, and no." Cheng Qianfan shook his head. As a gangster who has been responsible for many vicious cases in Shanghai, especially in the French Concession, not only the patrol office likes to blame Jiang Mulezi for unsolved cases, but also some criminals. There are also people who use the name of Jiang Mule to cover up their activities.
“The murderer used Jiang Mulezi’s name. Do you think there is anything suspicious about it? Where is the suspicion?” Cheng Qianfan asked.
Haozi knew that Brother Fan was questioning him. He did not answer immediately, but thought carefully before speaking, "Acting in Jiang Mulezi's name is nothing in itself."
He honked the horn to alert the pedestrians crossing the road, and continued, "What puzzles me is that these people used the name of the 'Third Squad of the Jiang Mule Border Protection Brigade'."
Li Hao smiled and said, “Even we don’t know this number.”
“Next time I see Boss Jiang, I want to ask him when he recruited troops and established a border protection brigade.” He turned to Cheng Qianfan and said.
“But Dashan does have a team.” Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression.
The smile on Li Hao's face disappeared. Yes, Jiang Mulezi did have a team in his hands.
In the archives room of the patrol room, two cabinets are filled with files on the gangster Jiang Mulezi. The patrol room can be said to be the department that 'knows' Jiang Mulezi best. They characterize Jiang Mulezi and his men as 'the gangster Jiang Mulezi'. The Mule and his Men'.
This is also the general perception across Shanghai of the gangster Jiang Mule—
This is a small group of vicious and audacious gangsters led by the bandit leader Jiang Mulezi who endanger Shanghai's public security.
Gangsters and teams have completely different concepts.
In this case at the home of Hu Yanhao, the manager of Saiyan Bank on Bai Saizhong Road, the other party falsely used the name of Jiang Mulezi, but his signature was the Third Team of Jiang Mulezi’s Border Protection Brigade!
What is left here is a name.
This is the number!
Don't care whether this number is issued to yourself, it is a number. Basically, only some teams that have formed a certain combat capability and have a certain degree of discipline can think of getting a number for themselves.
Is this a coincidence?
Or some kind of temptation?
Cheng Qianfan didn’t know, he just felt that something was fishy.
"Check the situation of the deceased Hu Yanhao and the Saiyan Bank." Cheng Qianfan said.
“Brother Fan, Hu Yanhao is not dead yet.” Li Hao reminded.
Cheng Qianfan shook his head and said nothing.
The more he thought about this "seemingly ordinary" armed home invasion, robbery and murder case, the more he had an intuition:
This is not a home invasion that leads to murder, it is more like killing someone and looting at the same time.
The other party is here to kill people, how can Hu Yanhao still be saved?
“In addition, secretly check the neighbors around Hu Yanhao.” Cheng Qianfan thought for a while and suddenly said, “Make a list with me.”
Bai Sai Zhonglu, he suddenly vaguely remembered something in his mind, which inevitably made him have some associations, and then he had a trace of doubt and vigilance.
…
Arrived at Father Jin Road.
Zhou Ru has already prepared dinner.
As soon as you open the door, you will be greeted by the aroma of food.
“Oh, it smells so good.” Cheng Qianfan sniffed and said with a smile.
“I am the winner of the French Concession’s culinary master.” Zhou Ru said with a slightly proud expression.
It was impossible for her relationship with Mr. Cheng not to attract other people's attention, so Cheng Qianfan told the outside world that she was the cook from Xiaozao he invited, and he would come to have a toothpaste when he had time.
Everyone was stunned when they heard the words.
Although this woman's appearance is quite delicate, she can't be called extraordinary beauty. With Mr. Xiao Cheng's pickiness, it is naturally impossible for him to take a fancy to her.
It turns out to be the cook.
Father Jin Road is next to Xue Huali Road, and it’s not too far to walk there. If Mr. Cheng is hungry, he can come here for a drink and a meal.
Later, Zhou Ru signed up for a cooking competition in the French Concession, was shortlisted for the finals, and won a prize.
The judges of the competition were very impressed with Ms. Zhou’s cooking skills when being interviewed by a newspaper reporter.
In this way, Zhou Ru's identity as a little cook was further confirmed, and some people who hated Mr. Cheng even secretly gnashed their teeth and cursed:
This thief is not only greedy for money and lustful, but also has a naughty mouth.
…
Cheng Qianfan looked at the message he had just translated and looked thoughtful.
Mei Shenping.
Gao Qingwu.
The two men left Chongqing secretly, and Dai Chunfeng judged that the two men were likely to come to Shanghai.
Dai Juzuo suspected that the two men might have secret contacts with the Japanese in Shanghai, so he asked him to secretly investigate their traces.
Cheng Qianfan tapped his fingers on the table as he was thinking about the information about this person.
This man is the youngest senior diplomat in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Speaking of which, Gao Qingwu’s fortune is miraculous.
In the 21st year of the Republic of China, the "Diplomatic Review" based on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nationalist Government was founded. The magazine hired Gao Qingwu as a special writer.
This is the starting point of Gao Qingwu's career. In this year, Gao Qingwu was only twenty-seven years old.
In the first issue of "Diplomatic Review", Gao Qingwu opened the eyes of the Chinese people with his article "General Observation of Recent Japan". The full article is full of words and gives a very comprehensive introduction to the four aspects of Japanese politics, economy, diplomacy and society before and after the September 18th Incident. Case.
Since then, Gao Qingwu has published fourteen articles in a row in the "Diplomatic Review", all of which focused on the Japanese issue, and he has thus become a "Japan expert" recognized by the government.
At that time, Cheng Qianfan also 'read' Gao Qingwu's article in the "Diplomatic Review", which can be said to have benefited a lot, giving him a deeper understanding of Japan's situation.
At the end of that year, the national government established the National Defense Design Commission and hired well-known and well-known figures as commissioners.
Gao Qingwu was appointed as a commissioner of the National Defense Design Commission as an expert on Japan, and he quickly entered the core area of national strategy. It can be said that he soared.
In the 23rd year of the Republic of China, Gao Qingwu was transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and served as the chief of the Japan Section of the Asia Department.
One year later, Gao Qingwu was promoted to director of the Asian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the age of thirty.
This person can be said to be the most well-known "Japan expert" in the diplomatic field within the government. Principal Chang admired Gao Qingwu's talent very much and entrusted him with important tasks. At the same time, this person is also a member of Wang Chuanhai's "low-key club".
Just because this person can win the recognition of both the 'leader' and Vice President Wang is enough to show that this person has outstanding talents.
It is indeed quite intriguing that such a "Japan expert", the director of the Asian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and another general under Vice President Wang, Mei Shenping, came to Shanghai in a secret "sneak" way.
Of course, Dai Chunfeng only suspected that these two people would come to Shanghai. As for the truth, he still needed to verify it.
However, Cheng Qianfan had a hunch. He agreed with Dai Chunfeng's judgment that the two men would most likely come to Shanghai to make secret contacts with the Japanese.
It seems that I have to go to Teacher Imamura frequently to ask for help and say hello, Cheng Qianfan said in his heart.
Hyōtaro Imamura is the first assistant to Eiichi Iwai, the deputy consul general of the Consulate General of Japan in Shanghai. If the Japanese secretly met with Vice President Wang’s people, Hyōtaro Imamura would definitely know about it, and he could capture clues from Hyōtaro Imamura. , for reference and confirmation of the whereabouts of Gao and Mei.
…
In addition, there was another sentence in the telegram that caught Cheng Qianfan’s attention.
"Gao once went to Japan privately, and the leader was furious. The leader was extremely concerned about Gao's disappearance. If these two people really arrived in Shanghai, they must find out everything about Gao and Mei in Shanghai, absolutely."
Cheng Qianfan was greatly shocked. He could not imagine that Gao Qingwu, as the director of the Asian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a senior diplomat of the government, went to Japan privately and even had direct meetings and contacts with the Japanese government.
The most important thing is that after this person went to Japan privately, he is still sitting peacefully in the position of Director of the Asia Department to this day. This is really ridiculous.
Cheng Qianfan didn’t know that this happened in July. Even Chang Kaishen was shocked when he learned that Gao Qingwu had gone to Japan and cursed something similar:
‘Absolutely ridiculous’!
The most ridiculous thing is that after Gao Qingwu returned from Japan, he "unashamedly" submitted the report of his talks with the Japanese to Chang Kaishen.
Gao Qingwu’s report actually used the words of the Japanese to persuade the “leader” to step down and transfer power to Vice President Wang in order to achieve peace negotiations between China and Japan.
The supreme leader's lungs were about to burst with anger. He was clearly the one he sent, but he turned his back on Wang Quanhai. Gao Qingwu was really a **** nerd.
The principal then called Xue Yingzhen and Dai Chunfeng, and scolded them, saying that they were ineffective in doing things and could not even look down on individuals.
Xue Yingzeng and Dai Chunfeng were summoned in such a hurry, and then they were scolded. Monk Zhang Er was confused and did not dare to defend himself. He could only bow his head obediently and receive the scolding.
After being scolded, the two people left the leader's residence in dejection. Later they found out that it was Gao Qingwu who had angered the leader. For a while, the two of them jumped up and cursed at the same time, as if they were like mandarin ducks.
…
Cheng Qianfan’s eyes stayed on the last two sentences of the message:
Because your department does not know the appearance of Gao and Mei, you sent Lu Jingqian, the deputy district chief of Hong Kong, to Shanghai from Hong Kong with their photos. After Lu arrived, Lu was the main one and you were the supplementary one. I hope you two can work together to mission accomplished.
His face showed a joyful smile.
Lu Jingqian was Song Fuguo and his old chief.
He joined the Lixingshe Secret Service, and it was Song Fugu who developed him. He was his real senior officer. In fact, if the factions were strictly arranged, he could be regarded as a member of Song Fugu.
Of course, now he is the "Blue Bird", the person wearing the bureau seat.
Cheng Qianfan had great respect and confidence in Song Fuguo.
Song Fuguo has great abilities and has been on the front line of the war against Japanese special forces for a long time. This is one of them.
In addition, this respect also comes from Boss Tao.
As a close nephew of Song Fuguo, Boss Tao could have lived in a safe rear area, but knowing that he had a narrow escape, he boarded the ship to Dalian without hesitation.
Cheng Qianfan later learned from Song Fuguo that the day Boss Tao went to Dalian happened to be the day he left Shanghai for training in Hangzhou:
Song Fuguo sent him to Hangzhou for training and entrusted him with training; on the same day, he sent his nephew to die.
Cheng Qianfan recalled in his mind that when he was training in Hangzhou, he learned from the telegram in Dai Chunfeng's hand that Boss Tao had killed many Japanese special forces, and finally shouted "enough" and went to die with emotion. His eyes were a little moist.
The tragic image of Boss Tao's sacrifice in his mind overlapped with the back figure of the man who took the bread from him, happily thanked his daughter, and strode away with the bread in hand.
That day, he received a face-to-face commendation from Dai Chunfeng, and also learned the news that Boss Tao had died for his country.
With a long sigh, Cheng Qianfan gathered his emotions.
Looking at the telegram again, he nodded slightly:
The old officer returned to Shanghai, and Cheng Qianfan was looking forward to the possibility that the two of them could work together and cooperate.
Subsequently, Cheng Qianfan drew a match, put the message into the brazier and ignited it. Finally, he smashed the ashes, took a swig of water from his mouth, and sprayed it directly into the brazier. Only then did he feel completely relieved.
…
“Is the matter handled cleanly?” Eguchi Ying also moved his neck, glanced at his men, and asked in a deep voice.
"Reporting to the head of the room, Hu Yanhao was shot five times, two in the back, one in the abdomen, and one in the shoulder and buttocks." The subordinate saluted and said, "Hu Yanhao will definitely die."
“Have you found anything?” Eguchi Hideya asked.
"Found it." The subordinate took out a letter with a blood-stained cover from his body and handed it to Eguchi Hideya.
Eguchi Hide also took the letter, took out the letter paper from the envelope, read it carefully, and checked the mark on the letter paper to confirm that it was the original, and then nodded with satisfaction.
