Chapter 824: Layers of Fog
Cheng Qianfan's unintentional expression of contempt was not surprising to Li Hao.
Although they are both secret services loyal to the leader, the grievances between the military commanders and the central commanders are long-standing and cannot be expressed in words.
For Zhang Xiaolin’s ambush by gunmen, Mr. Xiao Cheng’s most direct reaction was:
He has beefed up his own security.
‘Mr. Xiao Cheng’ made a phone call, and then Chen Hu and his men hurried over on a foreign car.
So, on this day, the citizens of the French Concession saw the majestic scene of the "Mr. Xiao Cheng" motorcade.
A car came forward to be on guard, a car was in the middle, and a car was behind to be on guard. There was a bodyguard with a gun on each side of the side steps of the three cars, looking around vigilantly.
In addition, five or six people rode in foreign cars, straddling their gun holsters, and pedaling very fast, following the guards all the way. These bodyguards riding foreign cars were mobile forces, and could chase those small cars that could not drive into the car. Assassins hiding in alleys and corners.
“Bah!”
Some citizens were secretly spitting on the ground angrily. This "Mr. Xiao Cheng" had done all kinds of bad things and was worried about retribution and death.
…
Office of the Inspector General.
“I swear by God.” Cheng Qianfan raised his right hand, “I really didn’t do it.”
He took the small scissors from Jin Kemu's hand and plowed the branches skillfully. "I want to kill Zhang Xiaolin, but this old guy is really difficult to deal with. I won't touch him easily without enough confidence."
As soon as he arrived at the patrol room, he was called to the chief inspector's office by Jin Kemu for questioning.
"Of course I believe you." Jin Kemu nodded, "It's just that word has spread outside that 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' and Boss Zhang will definitely have to decide whether to live or die this time."
"If I do it, it won't spread like wildfire." Cheng Qianfan cut off a dead branch with a click and said with a smile, "If it really spreads like crazy, it will be the news that Zhang Xiaolin was killed by me."
Jin Kemu did not laugh. Instead, he glanced at Cheng Qianfan and nodded with a serious expression, "It suits your style."
“Uncle Jin, I just take it as a compliment.” Cheng Qianfan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
The two talked and drank a cup of tea. Jin Kemu asked with concern about the progress of Cheng Qianfan's assassination case on Xiafei Road, and told Cheng Qianfan to be careful.
Cheng Qianfan naturally thanked Mr. Jin for his kindness, and Shi Shiran left the inspector general's office.
Su Zhe came to pack the tea cups and couldn't help but said, "Jin Tou, who do you think is responsible for what happened to Xiafei Road?"
“I can’t tell.” Jin Kemu shook his head. “It could be the Red Party, it could be Chongqing, or it could really be Zhang Xiaolin. This person’s actions will inevitably go against some people’s wishes..."
As he said that, he suddenly glared at Su Zhe, "It's just a shame. What's the regret?"
Su Zhe quickly cursed and swore that he was just out of curiosity and had no intention of taking pleasure in the misfortune.
How could Jin Kemu believe it? He would have scolded Su Zhe bloody.
His assistant was at odds with Cheng Qianfan, which was almost an open secret within the patrol room. Jin Kemu also tried to reconcile the two, but the effect was minimal, so he had no choice but to give up.
Then again, ‘Mr. Little Cheng’ is becoming more and more powerful in the Central District. Under such circumstances, if his assistant Jin Kemu flirts with Cheng Qianfan instead, he will be worried.
"The current situation is turbulent, and people like Cheng Qianfan can take advantage of it." Jin Kemu glanced at Su Zhe, "Now he looks at my face and doesn't care about you. If there is turmoil in the future, I will not be able to protect myself. How can I protect you?" …”
Su Zhe understood what Jin Kemu meant by the turmoil and couldn't help but ask, "Jin Tou, do you think this Asian really dares to attack the French Concession?"
“I don’t dare now.” Jin Kemu glanced at the gloomy sky outside the window, “Who knows in the future.”
Facing the aggressiveness of the Japanese, the French Concession authorities have always been tolerant, which made Jin Kemu worried.
…
Zhang Xiaolin!
This old dog is really good at pretending. If you don't know the truth, you may really have been deceived by Zhang Xiaolin.
Since he had such a deep relationship with Zhang Xiaolin, Cheng Qianfan naturally paid special attention to infiltrating Zhang Xiaolin's New Asia Peace Promotion Association.
According to the news from the personnel arranged by "Mr. Xiao Cheng" within the New Asia Peace Promotion Association, Zhang Xiaolin felt very angry and aggrieved that the Japanese had "misunderstood" that he had attacked Cheng Qianfan.
Even to the point of sighing.
Complaining that he had done nothing but was framed and misunderstood.
If Cheng Qianfan hadn't found out the truth from Qiaozui's mouth, and knew that Zhang Xiaolin paid a lot of money to bribe his subordinates to do something against him in the first place, and at the same time put the blame on Wang Kangnian, he would probably be inclined to believe that Zhang Xiaolin was innocent this time.
Old guy, he really does a complete show, and his acting skills are on point.
…
As noon approached, the clouds in the sky became lower, which was a sign that heavy rain was coming.
“Old Huang, give me some medicine to calm the wind.” Cheng Qianfan came to Lao Huang’s medical room with a toothpick in his mouth.
“Vice President Cheng, I’m relieved to see that you’re okay, Lao Huang.” Lao Huang rummaged through a row of medicine cabinets to pick up and prepare medicines. “The gunman committed a murder on the street. It’s so lawless.”
"How is that guy's condition?" Cheng Qianfan spit out the toothpick, lit a cigarette and bit it in his mouth, "Can he still be tortured?"
"Officer Zhong took me to see him again this morning. Although the injuries were serious, his lungs were basically not hurt. As long as you pay attention, torture is not a big problem." Lao Huang said.
As he spoke, he bandaged the prepared medicine and handed it to Cheng Qianfan. He took a vigilant look at the situation outside the window and lowered his voice and said, "I carefully checked the man's injuries. In addition to yesterday's torture, this man also has other injuries." There are old wounds.”
"Old injury?" Cheng Qianfan took the medicine bag, put it on the counter, flicked the cigarette ashes, and asked in a low voice, "How long?"
“Three months ago, within half a year.” Lao Huang said.
“Can you tell what caused the injury?” Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Difficult." Lao Huang raised his voice, "I'll take one portion of these two medicines in the morning and evening. I've already divided them up."
Then he lowered his voice and said, "It may have been caused by a scuffle or a fight, or it may have been caused by being beaten..."
“Torture?” Cheng Qianfan asked immediately.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Lao Huang said with a solemn expression, "In addition, I found some suspected burn marks on this person's body."
“Electrocution?” Cheng Qianfan’s expression changed and he asked immediately.
“I suspect he was shocked by a high-voltage electric baton.” Huang said, “The burnt area is small and it’s not obvious if you don’t look carefully.”
…
Electrocution torture can be divided into high-voltage electrocution and low-voltage electrocution.
High-voltage electrocution, such as electric baton, uses a high-voltage coil to cause electric shock.
The electric baton uses a high-voltage coil to boost a small flow of current and applies it to two electrodes that are very close together. During torture, the two electrodes touch the victim's body at the same time, forming a current loop at the contact parts. A high-voltage electric shock is delivered to a very small body surface area, causing intense stinging.
Sometimes high-temperature electric sparks will be generated, so the electric shock will be accompanied by burning, leaving burn marks.
Because the amount of current is very weak, the area and distance of action are very small, and it only produces extremely strong stinging and electric shock shock locally, so it can cause extreme pain to certain special parts of the human body. Generally, several consecutive electric shocks will cause the victim to Incontinence.
According to what Lao Huang said, Cheng Qianfan had an image of a person being **** and being tortured with electric shocks in his mind. The person who did it was very cautious and only used electric batons to shock a small area, which could cause great pain to the victim. The feeling will be smaller, and the traces of electric shock will be smaller, making it easier to cover up afterwards.
"So, this person was probably captured by someone from some quarters and was tortured." Cheng Qianfan said in a low voice.
He looked at Lao Huang, the two looked at each other, and then said almost in unison:
Japanese!
…
Now in Shanghai, the only ones that have the ability to secretly arrest Central Unification agents, and do so silently, interrogate secretly after arrest, and have the conditions to use electrocution, are the French Concession Patrol Room, the Public Concession Patrol Room, and the Japanese. That’s all.
The French Concession has not arrested this person, and no news has come out from the Public Concession. Moreover, given the current attitude of Britain and the United States towards China and Japan, even if Central Unification agents are discovered in the Public Concession, they will mostly deport them secretly. Even if they were arrested, most of them would not be ruthless.
Hence, the most likely person to secretly arrest and interrogate "Qiao Zui" is the Japanese, or some Japanese secret service.
Special higher education courses?
Inoue Mansion?
Nishimura class?
Iwai Mansion?
Naval Intelligence Room?
Or is it Wang Kangnian’s detective brigade?
Cheng Qianfan thought about all these possibilities in his mind, but it was really difficult to be sure.
Of course, the most urgent task now is to confirm whether the speculation that "Qiuzi" was captured and interrogated by the Japanese is accurate.
"Judging from the burn marks on his body, further speculation suggests that he was tortured with electric shock within three to four months." Lao Huang pondered for a moment and said, "Of course, all this is based on his It was indeed based on electric torture."
“I believe in your professional ability.” Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression.
Although Lao Huang looks like a drunkard all day long, in fact Lao Huang's medical skills are far more exquisite than he appears, and his vision is even more precise.
"You'll know after you check it out." Cheng Qianfan said. If this kind of thing is not suspected, there will be many excuses to cover it up. However, as long as it is suspected, there will always be many clues to investigate secretly. .
Lao Huang nodded, with a solemn look in his eyes, "Be careful."
“I understand.” Cheng Qianfan nodded.
If this Zhongtong agent nicknamed "Qiao Zui" is not just a lurker arranged by the Zhongtong to infiltrate the traitor Zhang Xiaolin, but has even been secretly arrested by the Japanese, it can be further inferred that this person should not be punished. defected to the Japanese.
Then, the attempted assassination of Cheng Qianfan on Xiafei Road yesterday was very complicated and quite thought-provoking.
Carrying the anti-wind medicine prepared by Lao Huang, Cheng Qianfan returned to his office.
The more he thought about this matter, the more intricate the joints became, as if there were layers of fog that made it difficult to see through.
…
Pudong.
“Captain, that man is clamoring to see you.” A team member ran over and reported to Jiang Mulezi.
“No,” Jiang Mulezi said, his face darkening.
Jiang Mulezi's Shanghai Special Intelligence Group Independent Special Operations Brigade was secretly approaching the defense area of He Xingjian's headquarters. They happened to take advantage of the exchange of fire between the Xicun Class and the Special High School Class to break out of the encirclement and were being chased by He Xingjian's men. The Luxingo et al.
Jiang Mulezi decisively ordered his brothers to open fire.
Shanghai Special Intelligence Group's independent special forces were well-equipped with weapons and powerful firepower. Hundreds of guns suddenly opened fire, including many light and heavy machine guns and grenades. He Xingjian's men were caught off guard and quickly fled.
In this way, Lu Xingge and others were lucky enough to be rescued by Jiang Mulezi and others.
The person was saved.
However, during the breakout process, A Yuan was shot and Lu Xingge was shot in the shoulder. He was temporarily unable to return to Shanghai and could only temporarily accompany Jiang Mulezi's troops.
Jiang Mulezi was not happy about this.
The idea that team leader "Xiao Mian" has been instilling in people including Jiang Mulezi, Qiao Chuntao, Xiao Taoist, Wu Shunjia and others is to try not to be related to other fraternal units, including the Shanghai Station.
This kind of thinking has come to this understanding in the eyes and ears of Jiang Mulezi and others:
The team leader looked down on the Shanghai Station and other sister units, thinking they were stupid, and worried that his family would be implicated by them.
In this way, within the Shanghai Special Intelligence Group, there is actually a sense of distrust and even contempt for other fraternal units, especially the Military Command Shanghai Station.
As of now, Jiang Mulezi actually does not want to have too much contact with Lu Xingge's troops.
However, before departure, the team leader made a special confession that Lu Xingge was a key personnel sent by the Shanghai Station to investigate He Xingjian's headquarters. This person must have mastered important information. If Lu Xingge was discovered, every possible means must be found to rescue him. Therefore, Jiang Mulezi could not He did not take good care of the injured Lu Xingge and others.
Because he wanted to avoid being hunted by He Xingjian's headquarters, he had to take Lu Xingge and others into hiding in a den of the Shanghai Special Intelligence Group's Independent Rangers.
At this time, Jiang Mulezi felt dizzy when he heard that Lu Xingge was making noises to see him again.
"Captain, he said he has an urgent military situation that he wants to tell you." The subordinate said, with a slight hesitation on his face, "He also said..."
“What else can you say?” Jiang Mulezi asked.
"He also said that if the military situation is delayed, captain, you can't bear it." The subordinate said.
“I rebelled against him.” Jiang Luozi said angrily, “Go and **** that guy over to me.”
“Yes!” The subordinate saluted and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute." Jiang Mulezi called to his men, his expression softening slightly, "Be polite, we are all the same ones who carry guns to fight the Japanese."
“Understood!” The subordinate nodded and said.
