Chapter 913: Poisonous Snake (please vote for me)
“Mr. Li, you have too many questions.” Feng Man smiled bitterly, “Let me think about it carefully.”
Li Cuiqun nodded and did not rush Feng Man.
“Let’s answer the first question first.” Feng Man said, “According to the information we have, an anti-Japanese donation raised from Nanyang is in the hands of Tan Pinggong, vice president of the Yuyao Chamber of Commerce.”
As he spoke, Feng Man looked at Li Cuiqun.
"You go on," Li Cuiqun said. "If you have anything to ask, I will ask you. If I don't say anything, just go on."
Feng Man nodded and continued, "It is said that this money is donated to the Red Party's New Fourth Army by name."
"In Chongqing, Mr. Xue personally gave an order to Su Chende to get the money and never let it fall into the hands of the Red Party's New Fourth Army." Feng Man said, "The telegram was translated by my hand. The gentleman used the words 'if I can't get it, I can destroy it'."
Li Cuiqun snorted coldly. He was not surprised at all that Xue Yingzhen would issue such an order.
Although the two parties, the Nationalist Party and the Red Party, are now cooperating in the fight against Japan, there is no way there is any barrier between the two parties, especially the Kuomintang Party. They are eager to use Japan's help to get rid of their serious troubles.
On the contrary, it is the Red Party. This group of people is indeed ruthless. So many people were killed by the Kuomintang, but they are actually able to temporarily put aside their hatred and join forces with the Kuomintang.
Yes, in Li Cuiqun's eyes, such a red party is not weak. On the contrary, such a red party is more terrifying. Only if it can endure what ordinary people cannot tolerate can it achieve great things.
…
“Tan Pinggong is a red party member?” Li Cuiqun asked suddenly.
"It's unlikely." Feng Man said, "We have investigated and analyzed this matter, and it seems that Tan Pinggong was entrusted by others."
Li Cuiqun nodded slightly. He also believed that it was extremely unlikely that Tan Pinggong was a member of the Red Party. He was a well-known wealthy businessman in Yuyao and had a close personal relationship with Chen Zhuan, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Nanjing Reform Government.
However, although such a person may be entrusted by others, he is somewhat involved with the Red Party, which is really regrettable.
“According to the report from the ears and eyes we arranged at Tan’s house, Tan Pinggong will pray for his frail son at the church on Baier Road.” Feng Man continued, “Su Chende made a judgment based on other online intelligence.”
She lit another cigarette and took a puff. The faint white smoke was exhaled from her straight nose and bright lips.
"Su Chende judged that Tan Pinggong should be planning to meet with the Red Party in the church." Feng Man said, "According to the information we have, Tan Pinggong should have a withdrawal voucher and a seal for the donation. He should be there. The church gave these to the Reds.”
Li Cuiqun frowned slightly. He stood up suddenly and walked to the wall. He opened the scarlet curtain with a clang. There were three maps hanging on the wall, one of which was a detailed map of the French Concession.
…
"Bair Road." Li Cuiqun, holding a pencil in his hand, clicked on a spot on Bai'er Road, "Yes, this is the church on Bai'er Road."
“Have you found anyone from the Red Party?” He turned to ask Feng Man.
"No." Feng Man shook his head, "Perhaps we made a mistake in our judgment. Tan Pinggong did not choose to meet the Red Party in the church. He did pray for his young son, or perhaps the Red Party members sneaked into the church through a path unknown to us. …”
Li Cuiqun shook his head, "Su Chende's judgment should be correct. They met in the church."
As he spoke, he stared at the map and thought for a moment, then said with a serious expression, "I know this church. If you keep a close eye on it, it will be almost impossible to sneak in without anyone noticing."
He glanced at Feng Man and said, "My judgment is that the Red Party entered the church early and waited."
Li Cuiqun pinched his pencil and said, "To be precise, before you knew that Tan Pinggong was going to the church to pray and took action, the Red Party people had already successfully entered the church."
He chuckled and said, "By the time you wait for it near the church, it will be too late. I know these people well. They are very smart and often do amazing things. At the same time, they are very pragmatic and are not afraid of hardship. They will take some seemingly... Clumsy, stupid way.”
Feng Man glanced at Li Cuiqun and said, "Mr. Li speaks very highly of them."
“Just telling the truth.” Li Cuiqun smiled, “At least it’s better than Chongqing.”
As he spoke, he waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. You can continue."
“Su Chende and his men kept waiting and found nothing unusual. At this time, there was loud gunfire on Masinan Road.” Feng Man said.
“So Su Chende must retreat.” Li Cuiqun nodded.
Baier Road is adjacent to Masinan Road. If there is an assassination on Masinan Road, and the gunfire is loud, the patrol will inevitably cordon off the nearby area. If Su Chende does not evacuate in time, he will probably be blocked by the patrol room. within the circle.
…
Li Cuiqun looked at Feng Man, "Where did Cheng Qianfan have an affair? And where did he bump into Su Chende?"
As he spoke, he handed a baton on his desk to Feng Man and motioned for her to point it out on the map.
"Let me think about it." Feng Man frowned, "I heard about these situations later. I was not involved in the action. I need to think about it."
“Don’t be in a hurry, think about it slowly.” Li Cuiqun nodded.
Feng Man thought for a while, then pointed his baton at the map, "Here, Yanqingli."
She told Li Cuiqun, "Cheng Qianfan came out of an apartment building in Yanqingli. As soon as he came out of the stairs, he happened to bump into Su Chende who was evacuating in a hurry."
"Yanqingli." Li Cuiqun turned around and opened the drawer. He took out a thick stack of documents from the drawer and flipped through them quickly.
soon.
Li Cuiqun nodded, "Saida Apartment in Yanqingli."
He picked up a large wooden compass, stared at the map, and then drew a circle starting from a certain location in Yanqing and ending with the location of the church.
Then, he turned to ask Feng Man, "Where was Su Chende monitoring the church at that time?"
Feng Man thought for a while, carefully identified it on the map, and then pointed somewhere with his baton.
Li Cuiqun also drew a circle with the location of Su Chende as the starting point of the radius and the location of the church as the end point of the radius.
Two circles have an intersection area.
…
“What do you see?” Li Cuiqun touched his chin, glanced at Feng Man, and asked.
"Mr. Li suspects that there is something wrong with Cheng Qianfan?" Feng Man showed a surprised expression.
The Saida Apartment where Cheng Qianfan was staying at that time was exactly at the intersection of the two circles.
He pointed at the picture he drew, "I have not gone to Saida Apartment for on-site inspection, and I don't know which floor Cheng Qianfan is on, which room he is in, whether the room is by the window, or whether Su Chende's location has any The building blocks the view, and I don’t know if the full view of the church can be observed from the Saida Apartment.”
He shook his head, "However, from the most intuitive perspective of this picture, if there are no obstacles blocking the line of sight, it is possible for Cheng Qianfan to see the location of the church."
He looked at Feng Man and pointed at the map, "At the same time, if Cheng Qianfan is interested in looking here, he can see Su Chende and the others."
After a pause, Li Cuiqun continued, "Of course, Su Chende can also notice Saida Apartment if he is serious."
"Mr. Li suspects that Cheng Qianfan is a member of the Red Party? Is he there to support the Red Party?" Feng Man widened his watery eyes and said in shock, "Also, could it be that Cheng Qianfan deliberately knocked down Su Chende? of?"
“It must have been an accident that Cheng Qianfan and Su Chende collided.” Li Cuiqun shook his head, “As for whether Cheng Qianfan is a red party member?”
He smiled and said, "I have no evidence, I'm just talking based on mathematics."
He put down the large wooden compass, "Mathematics is the most honest science. 1 is 1 and 0 is 0."
Just when Feng Man was about to speak, Li Cuiqun waved his hand again, "Of course, precisely because of the honest quality of mathematics, it is the least trustworthy."
“Because of the obstruction of sight mentioned by Mr. Li, the floor of the house and whether the house is near the window, etc.?” Feng Man asked.
"More than that, more than that." Li Cuiqun smiled heartily, "Those numbers and drawings are just the most basic analysis, but people are not numbers. People have thoughts and emotions."
He pointed to the northwest, which is the direction from Jisi Feier Road to Xue Huali Road in the French Concession where the central patrol house of the French Concession is located. "Perhaps Cheng Qianfan really just went to have a tryst with a woman, and everything was just a coincidence."
…
Feng Man fell silent.
Although Li Cuiqun said this, she had an intuition that Li Cuiqun had some doubts about Cheng Qianfan.
Because in their line of work, the most unbelievable thing is coincidence.
What's more, Li Cuiqun's words were just saying that perhaps Cheng Qianfan was indeed having a tryst with a woman.
The implicit meaning is that Cheng Qianfan may not be having a tryst with a woman, or may appear there at a certain time under the guise of a tryst with a woman.
Li Cuiqun glanced at Feng Man with a smile. He didn't mind that Feng Man might have guessed that he had some doubts and suspicions about Cheng Qianfan.
This is a smart woman who knows when to open her mouth and when to keep her mouth shut.
He did not have strong suspicions about Cheng Qianfan, or he had definite and suspicious evidence to prove that Cheng Qianfan had a problem.
His doubts about Cheng Qianfan were not strong, or he just had a few doubts.
Of these two doubts, one of them stems from the fact that Cheng Qianfan released the policeman named Fei Dai in Xiafei District, and then ordered the secret arrest of Fei Dai after more than two hours as if he had woken up from a dream.
Li Cuiqun didn't know what happened in the past two hours. It was Cheng Qianfan who discovered something suspicious about Fei Dai, or whether he suddenly woke up from a dream and realized that he had been deceived by Fei Dai.
In short, these two hours will make people have some doubts and associations.
It was precisely because of this first trace of doubt that Li Cuiqun had a doubt about Cheng Qianfan's reappearance in Baierlu during what Feng Man said. This was the second trace of doubt. .
These two doubts are not enough to prove that there is something wrong with Cheng Qianfan.
However, it was enough to arouse Li Cuiqun's strong research interest in this junior student who was usually very pro-Japanese.
…
Li Cuiqun picked up the microphone on his desk.
“Let Cao Yu come over.”
“Yes, Director.”
Soon, Feng Man saw an agent with half of one ear missing coming into Li Cuiqun's office.
“Director, you called me.” Cao Yu bowed respectfully to Li Cuiqun and said.
"On the day Zhou Wenrui was assassinated, almost two hours before the gunshot, Cheng Qianfan was somewhere on Bai'er Road, most likely Saida Apartment. Well, he had a tryst with a woman here." Li Cuiqun looked at Cao Yu said.
Cao Yu immediately showed an expression of great interest.
“Go and check, which room Cheng Qianfan was in at that time, and who was the woman he was having a tryst with?” Li Cuiqun glanced at Cao Yu and frowned slightly.
Cao Yu immediately showed a respectful attitude and a serious expression.
“In addition, find a way to enter the room where Cheng Qianfan was staying at that time.” Li Cuiqun said, “Use this room as a perspective and take some photos.”
He pointed at the map and said, "See if you can have a panoramic view of this church and this place. There should be a tea stall here that day. See if you can have a panoramic view of these two places from the window of the room."
Cao Yu did not express his position immediately, but stared at the map, pointed at the map and stated Li Cuiqun's order just now. When he saw Li Cuiqun nodding, he stood at attention and said, "My subordinates will do it now."
Feng Man frowned slightly. She keenly caught the wretchedness and heat in the eyes of the man with one and a half ears named Cao Yu who glanced at her when he turned to leave.
Li Cuiqun saw all this in his eyes, but his face was calm and he didn't say anything.
“Mr. Li.” Feng Man said suddenly.
“Please speak.” Li Cuiqun nodded slightly.
“According to our understanding, Cheng Qianfan may have secretly defected to the Japanese.” Feng Man said.
"I know." Li Cuiqun nodded, "Thank you Miss Feng for your kind reminder."
He knew that this was Feng Man's subtle reminder of Cheng Qianfan's heel.
Feng Man pursed his lips and smiled, looking at Li Cuiqun with surprise, "Feng Man thought Mr. Li would like the fourth meeting gift, but unexpectedly, Mr. Li didn't seem to be tempted by the anti-Japanese donation."
"It's not that I'm not tempted." Li Cuiqun chuckled, shook his head and said, "You have been chasing this money for so long and still got nothing. So, even if I am tempted, I can only try my luck. Since it is a chance, As for luck, it’s better not to have high hopes.”
As he spoke, Li Cuiqun suddenly stopped talking. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Feng Man, "Miss Feng, do you think this money is deposited in the bank?"
"Yes." Feng Man nodded, "Su Chende comprehensively analyzed intelligence and believed that the money was deposited in a foreign bank. Tan Pinggong had the withdrawal code and seal in his hands. And during that church trip, we suspected Tan Pinggong wants to hand over the seal and secret message to the Red Party."
“Bank, bank.” Li Cuiqun thought, eyes flashing, and suddenly nodded, looking at Feng Man with a smile, “Mrs. Dong must also be eager to see her husband.”
With that said, Li Cuiqun picked up the phone and said, "Inform Captain Dong to come to my office, yes, right away."
