Chapter 725 A mass of fog
"Ouch, Mr. Cheng, Inspector An, what's going on?" Shao Xiaodong, the deputy inspector of the Laozha Patrol Room, ran over.
“Put it down, everyone, put down the gun.” Shao Xiaodong shouted at Hua Qiao and red-headed Asan, pressing down with both hands.
Several Chinese prisoners immediately put down their guns. The red-headed Asans hesitated for a while. Some put down their guns, while others still held up their guns.
“Haozi, put down the gun.” Cheng Qianfan said calmly.
“Brother Fan…”
“Put down the gun.” Cheng Qianfan looked coldly at Anthony, who was glaring at him, and sneered, “Mr. Anthony is a smart friend and he will not hurt his friends.”
"yes!"
As Haozi put down his gun, Lu Jiufan, Hou Pingliang and others also put down their guns. However, Haozi and Hou Pingliang almost unanimously stood in front of Cheng Qianfan.
“Put down the gun.” Anthony finally felt a little more comfortable when he saw Cheng Qianfan’s men put down their guns first, and said with a cold snort.
"That's right, we are all friends, we are all friends." Shao Xiaodong nodded and bowed forward, offered a cigarette to "Mr. Xiao Cheng", and took out a lighter to light it.
"The person who assassinated me is Fang Hui." Cheng Qianfan said with a stern face, "I will arrange for someone to take away the body from the Terracotta Road Police Hospital."
“Understood.” Shao Xiaodong nodded, “Mr. Cheng, of course it’s okay for you to speak.”
"Laozha Police Station has to give me an explanation for this matter." Cheng Qianfan flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said, "If you have any questions, talk to Li Hao."
“I understand.” Shao Xiaodong smiled and said, “I will give Mr. Cheng a satisfactory explanation.”
A smile finally appeared on Cheng Qianfan's face. He glanced at Shao Xiaodong and patted him on the shoulder, "Ah Dong, they say you can do things. You really have a future."
"The murderer was lawless and did such a vicious thing in broad daylight. Mr. Cheng was frightened here. This is because I didn't do things well." Shao Xiaodong showed a mixture of shame and anger. "Fortunately, Mr. Cheng is a good person and a good person."
Cheng Qianfan looked at the time on his watch, smiled, patted Shao Xiaodong on the shoulder, and said to Li Hao and others, "Let's go."
Haozi and Hou Pingliang glanced around at the red-headed Asan and Huahua, as if to remember these people who had dared to raise a gun at their boss, and then hurriedly followed Cheng Qianfan's pace.
“A Dong.” Anthony looked at the car Cheng Qianfan was riding in, his eyes flashing with anger and hatred, “If I had just given the order to shoot…”
Shao Xiaodong was startled, looked around, and then pulled Anthony aside, "Inspector An, you don't dare to say such nonsense."
“I mean if.”
"If you order a shooting, it's okay if the person is killed, but if the person is alive, you may go to see God." Shao Xiaodong thought for a while, but chose to tell the truth. He was really worried that his immediate superior would not understand clearly.
“I am a civil servant of the British Empire.” Anthony frowned, “How dare he?”
"He just dares." Shao Xiaodong gritted his teeth and whispered, "It's not just you, your whole family will..."
“God, it’s so lawless and barbaric.”
Shao Xiaodong didn't speak anymore, but he was slandering in his heart. These foreign adults usually feel superior to others and think that they are foreigners and no one dares to hurt them.
It’s not like the fish in the Huangpu River have never eaten foreign food!
…
No. 22, Xue Huali Road.
The policemen watched Mr. Cheng get out of the car with a gloomy expression and walked towards the deputy chief inspector's office without saying a word. Behind him were Li Hao, Hou Pingliang, Lu Jiufan and others with equally gloomy expressions.
Everyone immediately looked solemn. Those who played cards, talked nonsense, smoked and drank, all immediately behaved honestly.
Soon, everyone saw Da Toulu, the third patrol officer, running hurriedly to the deputy chief inspector's office.
“Inspector, are you okay?” Da Toulu asked quickly.
“You have a great fate.” Cheng Qianfan snorted coldly and waved his hand, “Since I didn’t die, some people should die!”
Everyone stands at attention, stands ready, and listens to orders.
"Lu Hu, Lu Jiufan, Hou Pingliang, you led people to surround Hei Sanlang's warehouse." Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice.
“Yes!” Da Toulu agreed, “Inspector, are they all surrounded, or...”
“The warehouse on Bai Saizhong Road has been emptied by me. Anyone who dares to stop us will be arrested directly.” Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice, “The other two are surrounding, and no one is allowed to do anything without my order.”
"Understood." Da Toulu said, "I will personally take people to Bai Saizhong Road."
…
The third patrol, as well as all the helpers under the leadership of the patrol, were dispatched. The captain of the armored convoy, Ma Yishou, personally arranged military trucks to support the third patrol. After a flurry of excitement, several military trucks roared out of Xue Huali Road.
In the chief inspector's office, Jin Kemu stood at the window and looked at the courtyard, which was extremely noisy just now but was now much quieter.
“Mr. Jin, the entire third patrol has been dispatched.” Su Zhe walked to Jin Kemu and said softly.
“What did you find out?” Jin Kemu asked.
Cheng Qianfan has always respected him. If there is any big action, he will report to him in advance, or at least communicate in advance. However, this time he did not report it and directly ordered the action. Jin Kemu judged that something special must have happened.
“I heard about it,” Su Zhe said. “There was news from the Laozha patrol room that ‘Mr. Xiao Cheng’ was assassinated in front of Xianshi Department Store.”
“Who did it?” Jin Kemu raised his eyebrows and asked.
“It was Xia Wenqiao’s subordinate Fang Hui, who was shot dead by Hou Pingliang on the spot.”
"Fang Hui?" Jin Kemu frowned. The name was familiar, but he couldn't remember it at once.
"Vice President Cheng and Xia Wenqiao were fighting for black market business. Black Saburo robbed Vice President Cheng's goods. Vice President Cheng ordered the arrest of Xia Wenqiao's subordinate Fang Hui and broke Fang Hui's leg. After several treatments, Fang Hui recovered. Hui is still lame." Su Zhe said with a smile.
Jin Kemu sniffed the snuff bottle and asked, "Do you think Fang Hui took revenge on his own initiative, or was he ordered by Xia Wenqiao?"
"My subordinates think so." Su Zhe said, "Fang Hui is more likely to take action on his own. Although there are still some conflicts between Xia Wenqiao and Vice President Cheng, both of them face the common enemy Zhang Xiaolin. I don’t think Xia Wenqiao would be so unwise and choose to attack Vice President Cheng at this time.”
Jin Kemu glanced at Su Zhe and nodded with satisfaction. As long as this kid didn't think about confronting Cheng Qianfan, he still had some abilities.
“Xiao Su, you are still very smart when your mind is clear.” As he spoke, Jin Kemu played with the snuff bottle in his hand and fell into deep thought.
“When did Fang Hui’s leg get broken by Cheng Qianfan?” Jin Kemu asked.
“Two years ago...” Su Zhe said.
“It’s been two years.” Jin Kemu frowned and thought.
…
Chunfengdeyilou.
"It was two years ago that Fang Hui had his legs broken by someone you arranged for." Naito Xiaoyi frowned, "This person has endured his hatred for Cheng Jun for two years, why did he suddenly take the risk of assassinating him today? ?”
“That’s exactly what I’m wondering about.” Cheng Qianfan shook his head.
He received a call from Tsubasa Naito half an hour ago. The other party met with Cheng Qianfan openly and openly, saying that he was shocked to hear that he had been attacked and came to express condolences on behalf of Hyoutarou Imamura.
“Cheng Jun, do you think today’s incident is related to Xia Wenqiao?” Naito Xiaoyi asked.
"It's unlikely." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "I have a grudge against Zhang Xiaolin, and Xia Wenqiao was also targeted and threatened by Zhang Xiaolin."
He lit a cigarette and took a puff, "Xia Wenqiao and I have met before, and the two parties have a tacit understanding of temporarily joining forces."
Naito Tsubasa nodded, "It seems like this is Fang Hui's personal behavior."
He took the cigarette handed over by Cheng Qianfan, nodded and said.
“The question now is, why did Fang Hui lose his patience and suddenly choose to attack me.” Cheng Qianfan frowned and said.
Why did Fang Hui no longer endure it and chose to suddenly rise up and directly assassinate ‘Cheng Qianfan’?
…
After seeing off Naito Tsubasa, Cheng Qianfan did not leave immediately, but continued to stay in the private room to enjoy tea.
“Mr. Xia, please stay.”
"Step aside."
“How brave! Put the gun down!”
“Hao Zai, what’s going on outside?” Cheng Qianfan asked loudly.
“Mr. Cheng, Xia Wenqiao is here to visit, is this how you treat guests?”
Hearing Xia Wenqiao's voice outside, Cheng Qianfan snorted coldly, "It's better to be pointed at a gun than to be shot."
“Cheng Qianfan, I said this was Fang Hui’s personal behavior and I did not give any order. Do you believe me?”
There was silence in the private room for about ten seconds.
“Hao Zai.” Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice, “Arrange a new pot of tea.”
"Yes." Hao Zai said outside the door. He glanced at Xia Wenqiao coldly, then extended his hand and saluted, "Please."
Xia Wenqiao snorted coldly and pushed the door open.
He sat down with his big horse and golden sword.
He knew that this kind of thing must be made clear immediately, so he said straight to the point, "I don't know about this matter. Who knew that Fang Hui, a bastard, would do such a thing."
…
“I believe it.” Cheng Qianfan nodded and said lightly.
"Really believe me?" Xia Wenqiao was slightly surprised.
When he learned that the warehouse was surrounded by Cheng Qianfan's people, he was furious and cursed Cheng Qianfan for his treachery. However, he soon received the news that Mr. Xiao Cheng had been assassinated by Fang Hui in front of Xianshi Department Store.
Xia Wenqiao was in a big hurry, and he knew the seriousness of the matter.
He thought for a long time on the way here, thinking about how to explain it so that Cheng Qianfan could believe it.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Qianfan actually expressed his trust in him without wasting any more words. Xia Wenqiao was surprised and overjoyed.
"You Xia Wenqiao are not stupid. If you attack me now, Zhang Xiaolin will be the happiest." Cheng Qianfan said.
"It's refreshing to talk to smart people!" Xia Wenqiao smiled heartily, "I just said it, Mr. Cheng understands me."
“I have already emptied the warehouse on Bai Saizhong Road.” Cheng Qianfan said, “To show my sincerity, I will sell you these goods at half price.”
Xia Wenqiao already had a smile on his face when he heard "to express sincerity", but then the smile on his face immediately solidified.
"Cheng Qianfan, what do you mean?" Xia Wenqiao asked angrily, "You robbed my goods and then said you would sell them to me at half price!"
"I believe in you, and I believe that Fang Hui did not follow your orders." Cheng Qianfan looked at Xia Wenqiao and said calmly, "But Fang Hui is your man, he assassinated me."
“You have to apologize if you do something wrong.” Cheng Qianfan said, “Let alone killing someone.”
Xia Wenqiao stood up directly from his seat. He understood what Cheng Qianfan meant. Fang Hui was his. Although he did not instigate this matter, he, Xia Wenqiao, was also responsible. This greedy guy wanted to He used half of the goods in the Bai Sai Zhong Road warehouse to apologize.
“Cheng Qianfan, you are talking like a lion,” Xia Wenqiao said.
He naturally understood that this matter must be settled with blood, but he did not expect Cheng Qianfan to be so open-minded.
"Fang Hui fired." Cheng Qianfan looked at Xia Wenqiao coldly with a gloomy expression, "If his bullet hadn't jammed, I would have died!"
Speaking, Mr. Xiao Cheng slapped the table and stood up, "My life is worth a warehouse of yours!"
He pointed at Xia Wenqiao’s nose, “I’ll give you half the face, but you still give me the buckle!”
…
“You are saying that Kentaro also believes that Fang Hui did this personally and was not instigated by Xia Wenqiao?” Imamura Hyōtaro asked Naito Kotsubo.
"Yes." Tsubasa Naito nodded, "However, Miyazaki-kun still ordered his men to attack Xia Wenqiao's warehouse."
“Tell me what you think.” Hyōtaro Imamura asked.
"Fang Hui is Xia Wenqiao's man. This is an iron fact." Naito Tsubasa said, "With Miyazaki-kun's temper, I'm afraid Xia Wenqiao will have to pay a big price to satisfy Miyazaki-kun."
Hyoutaro Imamura nodded. This was exactly the Kentaro Miyazaki he knew. As a student, he was good at everything, but he loved money too much.
“Counselor,” Naito Kotsubo asked, “Has the murderer of Professor Taniguchi confessed anything?”
“There is no valuable confession.” Imamura Hyoutarou shook his head.
Hidetoshi Hojo has already reported to him the interrogation situation together with Captain Morita at the guest house:
The gunman was shot multiple times and was on the verge of death after being captured. Although Morita immediately conducted an interrogation, the other party was speechless and naturally did not ask anything.
Let alone investigating who this person's name is and why he chose to attack the unarmed Taniguchi Hiroshi, it is not even known which country this person is from.
In short, the assassination of Hiroyuki Taniguchi seemed like a fog to Imamura Hyoutarou.
The identity of the murderer.
The murderer’s motive.
How did the murderer locate Hiroyuki Taniguchi’s whereabouts?
Etc., etc., all this is like a fog.
Hyoutaro Imamura sighed deeply.
“Counsellor, I did not inform Miyazaki-kun about the assassination of Professor Taniguchi.” Tsubasa Naito said suddenly.
Hyoutaro Imamura was surprised. He looked at his assistant, frowned and asked, "Do you doubt Kentaro?"
…
“Brother Fan, since you have already arranged for Taozi to send people to kill Taniguchi, why do you still arrange for people to assassinate yourself? Don’t you say that doing too much will make more mistakes?”
Seeing that there was no one around, Haozi finally asked a question that he couldn't figure out.
"I can control arranging for someone to assassinate myself." Cheng Qianfan smiled slightly and said, "Whether the killing of Taniguchi can be successful or not, and what the result will be, is beyond my control."
As he spoke, he flipped the lighter with a click, looked at the weak flame, and said, "I strive for perfection in everything I do, so that when I am likely to be suspected one day, the harm caused by those doubts to me will be minimized as much as possible. To delay my exposure."
“With my current identity, suspicion without evidence cannot hurt me for the time being.” Cheng Qianfan said.
Miyazaki Kentaro didn’t have many friends, and Hiroyuki Taniguchi was the one who was most familiar with Miyazaki Kentaro. With Taniguchi dead, this was the removal of the biggest threat.
“If you live one more day, you can contribute more to the war of resistance and the party and the country.” He smiled and said to Haozi, “This is the meaning of life for us people.” (PS2)

PS2: I am just expressing an idea, not saying that something will happen to Xiao Cheng in the future. I hereby declare.
For Mr. Xiao Cheng, the first thing to do is not to doubt, and then, it is nothing more than to show off his tricks.
Ask a question and we can discuss it:
While lurking, has Yu Zecheng really not been suspected? Not exposed?
