Chapter 829 Emergency Response
Cheng Qianfan has been waiting.
If it is true as he judged that "Qiuzui" had defected to the Japanese a long time ago, then there must be some conspiracy by the Japanese to arrange for "Qiuzui" to continue to stay within the Central Unification Committee.
In addition, the true identity and even the authenticity of the intelligence of the ‘first mate’ confessed by ‘Qiaozui’ also have to be questioned:
The first possibility is that the Japanese want to take a long-term view to catch big fish, so although they know about the "first mate", they have never taken action against the "first mate".
The second possibility is that the information about 'First Officer' is of little value to the Japanese, because this person has been bribed by the Japanese a long time ago, or has been arrested by the Japanese before, and has committed treason after being tortured. People who throw themselves into the sun.
Then the question arises.
If it is the first possibility, since it has been decided to "take a long time to catch the big fish", then it seems logically unreasonable for "Qiaozui" to provide the "first mate" to the patrol house.
One of the first reasons Cheng Qianfan thought of was that the Japanese would give up the bait of ‘first mate’ unless there was a more important goal or value requirement.
So, what is this goal?
The vigilance engraved in the bones of the agent made Cheng Qianfan's heart move, and his expression became solemn—
The enemy is doubting himself?
Testing yourself?
He had no way of knowing how likely this was, but just thinking about this possibility made Cheng Qianfan's alert level instantly rise.
For lurkers, when you smell a hint of possible danger, don’t be careless, let alone take chances. This means that the danger is closer than you can feel!
Does the enemy behind this matter know his ‘real identity is Kentaro Miyazaki’?
If you don’t know, then the target of the other party’s suspicion and testing is Cheng Qianfan. In this case, the danger signal represented by this suspicion and testing is relatively low.
However, if the other party knows that he is "Kentaro Miyazaki, an agent of the Empire of Japan," and still becomes suspicious and tries to take action, this is a very dangerous signal.
However, Cheng Qianfan repeatedly thought, deliberated, and recalled his past actions in his mind, but for the time being he could not find where he had gone wrong, which actually aroused the enemy's suspicion.
This feeling of perceiving some kind of danger but not knowing where the danger comes from or where the source is is a huge psychological torture for the lurkers.
Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette and looked at the rain and fog outside the window. He smoked silently.
The smoke exhaled from his nose lingered around him, blurring the windows and obstructing his sight.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the "cocked mouth" really didn't want to say anything, but he could only speak out if he couldn't bear the torture of Hao Zai. And based on what Cheng Qianfan knew about Hao Zai's interrogation and torture situation, this possibility is not small.
However, Cheng Qianfan did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
If it is the second possibility, then the seriousness of the matter and the bad nature of the situation have reached a very deep level.
If "Qizui" and "First Officer" are both traitors who have defected to the Japanese, then the matter here is almost obvious:
The enemy is coming for him!
Cheng Qianfan opened the window and threw down the cigarette **** in his hand.
Then he took another cigarette, flicked the lighter and lit it.
Took two sharp puffs first.
Then he held a cigarette in his right hand and scratched his scalp with his little finger.
Then he took another puff of cigarette.
With a cigarette in his mouth, he stretched.
Then he took a sip, spit out the cigarette in his mouth, and slowly closed the window.
Almost half a minute after he turned around from the window and left, the door of the medical room opened, and Old Huang came out with a basin of water, cursing, and poured it outside.
“Old Huang, what’s wrong?” A patrolman who was smoking at the steps of the arresting hall asked casually when he saw this.
"What's wrong?" Lao Huang cursed angrily, "It's raining, so I took a basin of water and it's freezing."
As he spoke, Lao Huang cursed even more fiercely, saying that he had already said that the medical room should be renovated, but the people in the general affairs office always delayed it for various reasons.
“It’s better now, but I can’t even sleep at all.” Lao Huang said angrily, then turned and walked towards the room, muttering that he had to take a few sips, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to survive the night.
Soon, the smell of meat and vegetables came from the medical room.
‘This old guy has a good life’!
The patrolman cursed in his mind.
Lao Huang will enjoy it now. To eat wine, you must have meat and vegetables. The so-called "vegetable wine" is this kind of person.
…
Over here, in the office of the deputy chief inspector.
Cheng Qianfan walked back behind his desk. He put out his cigarette **** in the ashtray, and then rubbed his cheeks with both hands to soothe his facial muscles.
Then he poured a glass of water and drank a dozen or so sips slowly.
The whole person’s mood calmed down, and ‘Ms. Xiao Cheng’ just left the office building.
The arresting hall on the first floor.
“Vice President Cheng!”
“Inspector!”
“Brother Fan!”
The patrolman on duty saw Vice President Cheng coming down for inspection and quickly stood at attention and saluted.
‘Mr. Xiao Cheng’ pressed his hands, signaling everyone to ignore him and continue busy with the work at hand.
Everyone immediately acted hard, looking like everyone was busy.
"Monkey." Cheng Qianfan glanced at it, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Hou Pingliang, "Let the cafeteria bring some food and **** soup to warm the stomachs of the brothers."
"yes!"
Vice President Cheng's thoughtfulness aroused cheers from all his subordinates.
Cheng Qianfan strolled to the steps outside the arresting hall, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and was about to light it when he sniffed his nose, held the cigarette in his hand, and cursed with a smile, "Mother Xi Xun, you're so big The smell can’t be blocked even on rainy days, this old man, how can I cook something delicious at night?”
As he spoke, he picked up an umbrella beside him, held it up and walked towards Lao Huang's medical room.
…
Bang Bang Bang!
There was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Lao Huang chewed the pig's head meat in his mouth, turned his head and asked in the direction of the door.
"Me." Cheng Qianfan shouted from outside the door, "Open the door."
Lao Huang recognized the voice of Vice President Cheng and said quickly, "The door is not bolted."
“Old Huang, what smells so good?” Cheng Qianfan put away his umbrella and entered the house, closing the door at the same time to block out the sound of wind and rain.
As he spoke, he looked down and exclaimed, "You old guy, no wonder it smells so good!"
The aroma is rich, mainly due to the aroma of stewed fragrant meat.
Lao Huang smiled proudly, "I don't want to do anything now, I just want to eat in one bite."
"Inspector Zhao's dog?" Cheng Qianfan picked up a piece of pig head meat, pointed at the meat with chopsticks while chewing, and asked with a smile, "Be careful, he will try his best to find a dog tomorrow."
"Don't talk nonsense." Lao Huang said quickly, "This is a gift from a friend of mine."
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and asked, "What happened?"
Every time there is action in the patrol room, Lao Huang's next task is to keep an eye on the deputy chief inspector's office.
After he saw the signal from Cheng Qianfan requesting an urgent meeting, he started making meat and vegetables. This gave Cheng Qianfan a reason to come to him.
Although the relationship between the two is good and normal interactions will not raise any suspicion, there must be a more reasonable reason for such a cold rainy night.
Cheng Qianfan then confessed his "Qiao Zui" to the "First Officer" of the Central Government. He decisively ordered a patrol operation and told Lao Huang what happened after the "First Officer" was arrested and returned.
In addition, Cheng Qianfan focused on concisely describing some of his speculations and doubts about this matter.
"You were waiting at the steps for Hao Zai and the others to come back, so I was more vigilant." Lao Huang nodded and said, "Then I have been very careful, waiting for the signal you may send."
Cheng Qianfan came down early and personally waited for the arrest team to return. This was the code agreed by the two, indicating that the people they wanted to arrest were anti-Japanese elements, so "Kentaro Miyazaki" took this very seriously.
Then, Lao Huang will pay special attention to whether Comrade Huo Miao will send out an emergency signal.
"I can't see through this matter. It seems like there is a layer of fog." Cheng Qianfan took a bite of the bacon. Lao Huang's taste was a bit heavy and a bit salty, so he quickly took a sip of Huadiao to moisten his mouth.
He looked at Lao Huang and said, "Although there is no conclusive evidence, my feeling tells me that the enemy may be coming for me."
“Should we shoot rabbits in the grass, or should we clarify our goals?” Lao Huang asked in a deep voice with a serious expression.
If it’s the former, it’s not bad. If it’s the latter, it means the situation is very serious.
“I can’t be sure at the moment, it’s just an intuition.” Cheng Qianfan shook his head.
Looking at Lao Huang's extremely serious expression, he smiled and said, "Let's not talk about whether this is a test by the enemy. The good news is that I chose the most secure and correct way to respond."
Lao Huang nodded.
They are always so calm, and can even be said to be a little cold-blooded, but this is exactly why lurkers like them can survive.
This is exactly what he admires and feels reassured about Comrade Huo Miao. This is the kind of appreciation an old comrade has for younger comrades, although Comrade Huo Miao is actually leading him in the party branch.
Comrade ‘Huo Miao’ responded accurately and successfully responded to the enemy’s first wave of temptations.
Otherwise, the two people should be discussing emergency plans now.
…
“What do you need me to do?” Lao Huang asked.
“The key to finding this ‘Open Source Mipu’ is to check if there are any suspects near the Mipu.” Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully, “This is very helpful in identifying the true identity of the ‘first mate’.”
“Leave it to me.”
“There is also the Gossas Ballroom.” Cheng Qianfan said, “The dance tickets were purchased four days ago.”
He took a bite of the pig head meat and continued to mutter, "There is a lipstick mark on the dance ticket. The owner of the lipstick mark should be a woman with a big mouth."
Comrade ‘Piano’ gave a thumbs up to Comrade ‘Flame’.
"Be extra careful. If this is a test by the enemy, I'm worried they will have a trap." Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression.
“Don’t worry, both of them and I will cherish our lives.” Lao Huang joked.
Cheng Qianfan also laughed. This was a joke. Whether it was Lao Huang, Lu Dazhang or Zhao Shuli, they were all warriors who would sacrifice their lives for the Red Army and the people without hesitation.
Of course, this is not entirely a joke. Everyone really cherishes their lives. The reason why they cherish their lives is to stay alive and continue to engage in the red cause, and because the suffering people need them to continue fighting!
“Tell Lao Zhao, don’t contact us unless it’s urgent.” Cheng Qianfan warned.
Inspector Zhao has a bad relationship with 'Mr. Xiao Cheng', or there is a big feud. Now there are rumors that 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' covets Inspector Zhao's second aunt.
As the saying goes, there is no greater hatred than killing one's father, killing one's mother, and seizing one's wife. This kind of hatred is intolerable to men.
In addition, the relationship between Inspector Zhao, a dog lover, and Lao Huang, who is also a dog lover, is also tense.
In this way, Councilor Zhao will be the most hidden link of the special party branch in the French Concession, and will also be one of the last trump cards.
…
After eating and drinking enough at Lao Huang’s place, ‘Mr. Xiao Cheng’ looked slightly drunk and left with satisfaction.
He returned to his office.
Sit on the chair, pick up a document, and read it for about a quarter of an hour.
‘Mr. Xiao Cheng’ frowned and patted his head, as if he thought of something quite important.
Then he picked up the phone and asked for a phone number.
The call was quickly connected, and Cheng Qianfan said a few words to the other party before hanging up.
Afterwards, Cheng Qianfan put on his coat and walked back to the desk before going out. He opened the drawer, took out a document bag and put it into his briefcase.
Then he hurriedly walked out of the office.
“Haozi, prepare the car.” After walking down the stairs, Cheng Qianfan shouted to Li Hao, who was smoking and bragging with Hou Pingliang.
"yes!"
…
The car moved forward silently in the wind and rain. The headlights illuminated two lamp posts, like spears trying to tear through the rain and fog.
When passing an intersection, the car slowed down and slowly stopped on the side of the road.
“Be alert.” Cheng Qianfan said calmly.
"Yes!" Li Hao flashed his headlights three times in a row. The bodyguards in raincoats got out of the **** vehicle and formed a ring guard about thirty steps away from the car of 'Ms. Xiao Cheng'.
After waiting for about a few minutes, two car lights pierced the rain and fog, and a car stopped fifty steps away.
“Go and have a look.” Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice.
Li Hao got out of the car, pulled up his rain hat, and walked straight towards the car on the opposite side.
After a while, Haozi came back with a man who was holding a black umbrella and could not see the man and woman clearly.
Li Hao opened the rear door of Cheng Qianfan's car. The man handed the umbrella to Haozi and bent down to get into the car.
Li Hao held an umbrella and stepped back from the car for about ten steps, paying careful attention to his surroundings.
“Miyazaki-kun, this Li Hao is pretty good.” Xiaochi glanced outside and said.
“Cheng Qianfan saved his life, so he is naturally loyal to Cheng Qianfan.” Cheng Qianfan smiled and said, he opened his briefcase, took out the document bag and handed it over.
“What is this?” Xiaochi asked.
“The confession of the gunman who assassinated me.” Cheng Qianfan’s face was gloomy, with a sneer and cruel look on his lips, “A very interesting confession.”
