Chapter 757 Zhang Ping
This missing comrade’s name is Jiang Qi.
Jiang Qi once served as a traffic officer for an important leading comrade of the municipal party committee and is now an officer. This time he was ordered by the organization to go to Nanhui County to deliver information.
Cheng Qianfan was thinking about the relevant information about this comrade in his mind, and he could feel the solemnity and even a little impatience of Comrade Dandelion.
Obviously, this Comrade Jiang Qi is very important.
Or, to be more precise, Jiang Qi’s old leader was very important.
“If Comrade Jiang Qi is unfortunately captured, he will use the pseudonym Qin Shi.”
Cheng Qianfan frowned, then sighed.
He understood the underlying meaning of Comrade Dandelion's words. If Jiang Qi was unfortunately arrested, then when he inquired about this comrade's situation, he could divide it into two situations:
First, Qin Shi was arrested, which shows that Jiang Qi has no problem.
Secondly, Jiang Qi was arrested, which means that this person has rebelled.
Cheng Qianfan was thinking in his mind that he did not want to speculate on his comrades with malice, but the fact that Jiang Qi was missing was a bad signal in itself.
He has just reminded Comrade Dandelion to prepare for adverse situations in advance.
…
“Old Jiang, how are you?” Ah Hai supported Jiang Qi and helped him sit down against a tree.
“I’m fine, I can still walk after a rest.” Jiang Qi said, his dry lips were pale and without any blood.
Ahai looked into the distance, it was so foggy that he couldn't see the road clearly.
“We may be lost.” He said to Jiang Qi.
He and two other comrades traveled across mountains and rivers, preparing to return to Shanghai to report to the district committee on the current situation of the Qingdong guerrillas after their counter-mopping up, but they heard gunfire on the way.
There are two puppet soldiers chasing one person.
At a closer look, it was Jiang Qi, the secretary of the district committee, who was being hunted by the enemy.
A Hai and the others immediately opened fire decisively, killing two puppet soldiers and saving Jiang Qi.
The four of them were then chased by the Japanese and puppet troops. The enemy was like a tarsal maggot, and they were never able to get rid of it completely.
Of the other two comrades, one was shot and died, and the other comrade named Lei Yunshan went out to find food.
“Lost?” Jiang Qi shook his head and looked around. He licked his lips, then grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into his mouth.
"We hurriedly entered the forest." Ah Hai gasped for air and rubbed his hands vigorously, trying to keep himself warm. "The comrade who died was a guide. Now we are in trouble."
"No, we must return to Shanghai as soon as possible." Jiang Qi's expression was serious and anxious, "I have important information to report to the organization."
"I understand how you feel." Ah Hai comforted Jiang Qi, "Let's wait for Comrade Lei Yunshan to come back and see what he says."
Speaking, he took out half a piece of cornmeal from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Qi, "Comrade Lei Yunshan was born as an Orion hunter, and he is good at identifying roads and directions."
Jiang Qi took the wowotou, knocked it on the ground, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's too hard."
“Be careful with your teeth.” Ahai said with a smile.
Because the woofou head is hard, if you bite it hastily, you might break a tooth.
"I'm not hungry." Jiang Qi handed the steamed bun to Ah Hai again, "You can eat it."
Ahai took a deep look at Jiang Qi. He silently took the steamed bun and stuffed it into his pocket.
…
"I hope Comrade Lei Yunshan knows how to go." Jiang Qi moved his body to make himself more comfortable. "The 'Second Security Squadron' suffered heavy losses in the counter-mopping up."
As he spoke, he looked around subconsciously and vigilantly, "There is a traitor in the team."
“What?” Ahai was shocked and asked quickly.
"We have all temporarily gotten rid of the enemy, but the cunning enemy came back and ambushed the team." Jiang Qi said, "Comrade Zhou Da also died heroically. However, before he died, he told me that he suspected that the team members There are traitors.”
“Comrade Jiang Qi, are you serious about this?” Ah Hai said with a serious expression, “Does Comrade Zhou Da have any concrete suspicions and evidence?”
“I need to report this matter to the organization as soon as possible. This matter is extremely urgent.” Jiang Qi said.
Ahai nodded, he understood what Jiang Qi meant:
This matter involves important secrets. He needs to report it personally to the organization and the leader. Ahai is not qualified to know.
“How is Xiaoshan?” Ahai asked immediately when he saw Leiyunshan coming back.
“When the gun was fired, the prey was scared away.” Lei Yunshan threw down two small prey, grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into his mouth, and said.
“Have you found the way?” Ahai asked.
“I found a way, but it’s very difficult to walk after the snow melts.” Lei Yunshan said, looking at Jiang Qi, “Granny Jiang sprained his foot...”
"I can walk." Jiang Qi said immediately. As he spoke, he struggled to get up.
Ahai quickly went to help him.
“Ah Hai, we must set off immediately.” Jiang Qi’s eyes flashed with determination.
Ahai nodded, he understood the reason why Comrade Jiang Qi had to race against time to move forward.
“Xiaoshan, can people pass through that road?” Ahai asked.
“It’s possible, but it’s difficult to walk.” Lei Yunshan said.
"Let's go!" Ah Hai said in a deep voice. He knew that hunters like Leiyunshan said it was a difficult road to walk, and the difficulty could be imagined. However, at this moment, let alone a difficult road, it was They can only grit their teeth and fight through the mountains of swords and seas of fire!
…
About two hours later.
Three people were crossing the path with difficulty.
Lei Yunshan vigilantly inspected the surrounding situation, and after indicating that there was no danger, Ah Hai helped Jiang Qi to a place leeward to rest.
He took off his scarf and handed it to Jiang Qi to keep warm.
Subsequently, Ah Hai walked far away to urinate.
When passing by Leiyunshan, he gave Leiyunshan a hidden look.
Lei Yunshan was stunned at first, and then reacted quickly. He calmly understood what was happening and followed him to urinate.
“What have you discovered about Comrade Jiang Qi?” Ah Hai asked straight to the point. (PS2)
“Comrade Amu, have you also found a problem?” Lei Yunshan whispered, “I found something wrong, and I was worried that I was suspicious, so...”
"Xiaoshan, remember, if you feel anything is wrong in the future, you must report it immediately." Ahai said in a deep voice.
"yes!"
“Tell me what you found.” Ah Hai glanced not far away and saw Jiang Qi, who seemed to be exhausted and huddled there motionless.
“There is something in Director Jiang’s stomach,” Lei Yunshan said.
“Although Director Jiang’s legs and feet are not good, he has one good foot, and that foot is strong when walking.” Lei Yunshan thought for a moment and said, “You are even stronger than Comrade Amu.”
“What else?” Ahai asked.
“I haven’t eaten for so long, and Director Jiang’s stomach doesn’t even growl,” Lei Yunshan said.
…
The next day.
The wind is cold and the weather is sharp.
Both the Shanghainese in the occupied areas and the Shanghainese taking refuge in the concessions, they all felt an unprecedented cold winter.
“…Madam, would you like a bowl of spicy spicy soup that is so hot?” asked a vendor carrying a load of spicy spicy soup.
Zhang Ping shook her head and declined.
She wrapped her scarf tighter, looked at the sky, then looked at the situation on the street, and then reached out to hail a rickshaw.
“Bai Sai Zhonglu,” she said.
“Okay, madam, please sit still.”
Zhang Ping sits in a rickshaw and looks around her along the way.
She saw people taking shelter from the cold under the eaves on both sides of the street. Adults and children all had their shoulders hunched, their hands in their sleeves, and their whole bodies were trembling.
Some children are held tightly in their mothers' arms, hoping to use their own poor warmth to bring a little warmth to their children.
Blurred eyes.
A look of despair.
Zhang Ping sighed in her heart. This cold winter will be extremely difficult for these refugees who have taken refuge in the concession, and it may even be a life-or-death disaster:
If you make it through, you will live a few more days.
If you can't break through, you will die quietly.
Zhang Ping is going to the Shanghai Professional Women's Club.
After several contacts with Ms. Mou Liying from the Professional Women’s Club, Zhang Ping had a very clear feeling:
Ms. Mou Liying is most likely a comrade of our Party.
This made Zhang Ping, who had been struggling to find a party organization, overjoyed.
However, she did not contact Mou Liying rashly and tell him about her family.
She went to the Shanghai Professional Women's Club as usual, met and chatted with Mou Liying as usual. She was waiting for a safe opportunity to have formal contact with Mou Liying.
In addition, there is another reason why Zhang Ping is close to the Shanghai Professional Women's Club, and that is because Tang Xiaoye also works here.
According to Shuli Zhao’s secret investigation and Zhang Ping’s own judgment, it is extremely likely that Tang Xiaoye is a red party member.
However, the brother-sister relationship between Tang Xiaoye and that "Mr. Xiao Cheng" made Zhang Ping a little afraid and suspicious.
So, this is the reason why Zhang Ping never had more in-depth and formal contact with Mou Liying or Tang Xiaoye.
At least in the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Ping should be just a rich lady who comes to the professional women's club to chat and look for honey.
…
“Have you found out the details about this woman?” Xiaosi asked Daou on the second floor of a Shikumen residence opposite the latest office of Shanghai Professional Women’s Club.
“I figured it out,” Daou said. “This woman is a tenant and has some money in her hands.”
As he said that, Daou winked.
“If you have something to say, just say it.” Xiao Si said angrily. This guy, like Xiao Ou back then, liked to tell people off.
Thinking of Xiao Ou, Xiao Si also sighed in his heart. At that time, they were still eating from the government, but now they have taken the job of the Japanese. I don't know what the situation is with Xiao Ou. Is it because of his origin? The Shanghai Party Affairs Investigation Office was marginalized by colleagues in Xi'an.
“This woman’s name is Zhang Ping, she looks like that~” Daou said.
“Let’s get to the point.” Xiaosi said with a frown.
"The point is, this woman looks like that~" Daou saw the fourth brother's glare and said quickly, "Fourth brother, you also saw that this woman, that hey, a woman like her, if she didn't have a man to protect her, would have been killed long ago. It was eaten and wiped clean."
Xiaosi nodded, it was indeed the case. This woman named Zhang Ping was indeed beautiful, just like a ripe and attractive peach. Such a woman had little financial resources. If there was no man to protect her, she would be in trouble. Being forced to lose both people and money.
“Who is the man behind him?” Xiao Si asked.
“It’s very likely that he is the Chinese Inspector Zhao Shuli from the Central Police Station of the French Concession.” Daou said.
“Is it him?” Xiaosi’s expression was a little solemn.
Cardinal Zhao is not someone to be trifled with. He has always kept a relatively low profile. However, he has the power to secretly arrest the secret agents of the Central Patrol Room, and his tentacles have reached all parts of the Central District. It can be said that in the center of the French Concession, If there is any trouble in the area, the first one to know the news will be Cheng Qianfan, the second one will be Jin Kemu, the third one will be Xia Wenqiao, and the fourth one will be Zhao Shuli.
…
“Fourth brother, do you want to continue to check out Shuli Zhao’s background?” Daou asked.
“Don’t act rashly.” Xiaosi shook his head.
The Shanghai Municipal Government Police Detective Brigade has always been very cautious about the Central District Patrol Room, mainly because this is Cheng Qianfan's territory.
However, what other members of the detective team didn’t know was that even Wang Kangnian did not dare to underestimate Zhao Shuli, a Chinese detective.
This person was a close aide of Qin Detai before. It can even be said that although Cardinal Zhao did not join the Party Affairs Investigation Department, Wang Kangnian guessed that Cardinal Zhao should have a certain degree of understanding of Qin Detai's true identity and would secretly do so at work. Cooperate and obey some of Qin Detai's secret instructions.
Such a person, after Qin Detai fled Shanghai, not only was he not removed from his post by the French Concession Patrol Office, but he was not even promoted openly or secretly.
As far as Wang Kangnian knew, Cardinal Zhao’s power in the Central Patrol Office of the French Concession was not affected by the ‘Qin Detai Incident’. He even heard that Xi Neng of the Investigation Team of the Political Department valued Cardinal Zhao more than before.
Wang Kangnian naturally did not dare to underestimate such a Shu Li Zhao. He privately told Xiao Si to be cautious about matters involving Shu Li Zhao. This person was very mysterious and he should try not to provoke him.
Xiao Si naturally took Wang Kangnian’s advice to heart.
"You can't touch Shu Li Zhao." Xiaosi explained again, and he touched his chin, "But Zhang Ping, this woman, can do it."
"Fourth brother means, tied up?" Daou's eyes flashed.
“Sissy mother!” Xiaosi gave Daou a slap in the face, “Has your brain been squeezed by the door?”
He cursed, "We are the detective brigade. We used to be the Party Affairs Investigation Division."
Xiao Si cursed angrily, "We have never been kidnappers. What are you thinking about?"
Daou covered his face and did not dare to speak.
“Keep an eye on Zhang Ping and arrange for two brothers to grab this woman’s bag when she comes out.” Xiaosi ordered.
"Understood."
"Keep your hands clean." Xiaosi said with a serious expression, "I asked you to grab the bag, but I didn't ask you to use your hands or feet. Remember that."
He knows his subordinates very well. They all have dirty hands and feet. They can grab bags, but if they touch Zhang Ping, Shuli Zhao will definitely be furious.
