Chapter 915 The witty Haozi (please vote for me)
“I understand.” Cheng Qianfan’s calm face had a hint of solemnity, “How is he doing?”
His expression became more solemn as the words on the other end of the phone were spoken.
“We must cooperate sincerely with our neighboring units.” Cheng Qianfan warned, “Report to me at any time if there is any situation.”
Hang up the phone, Cheng Qianfan sat back on the chair, crossed his legs, slowly lit a cigarette, and savored the smell of tobacco.
Li Hao did not disturb Brother Fan's thinking. He picked up the thermos bottle and refilled Brother Fan's teacup.
"Something happened." Cheng Qianfan flicked the ashes of his cigarette, and Haozi quickly pushed the ashtray.
“Mei Wuming probably went to Fuxi Road after being released from the patrol room on bail.” Cheng Qianfan said.
“Yes, Brother Fan.” Li Hao nodded, “No. 39, Fuxi Road.”
“The call just now was from Hao Zai.” Cheng Qianfan said, “Mei Wuming was taken away.”
…
Cheng Qianfan frowned, something happened suddenly.
According to Hao Zai’s report, Mei Wuming has not gone out since returning to No. 39, Fuxi Road, and seemed to have ordered delivery from Maria’s Western Restaurant on the way.
Just ten minutes ago, Mei Wuming and two of his subordinates, one in suits and leather shoes, were about to go out. This man reached out to hail a rickshaw.
Hao Zai saw Mei Wuming getting on the rickshaw, and he was about to leave quietly.
This time he was ordered by the team leader to follow Mei Wuming and find out where Mei Wuming was. Now his goal has been achieved.
However, on his way back, Hao Zai found a shabby rickshaw overturned on the roadside, and he immediately realized that something was wrong:
The number plate of the smashed rickshaw was the same one that took Mei Wuming away.
Hao Zai was shocked and immediately arranged for his brothers to go find out the news.
Soon, news came back that an eyewitness saw a man riding a rickshaw suddenly trying to jump out of the rickshaw for some unknown reason, but his hind legs got caught on the railing and fell to the ground. The man then struggled with the rickshaw driver.
Soon a group of people came and forced the passengers into a car at gunpoint.
In addition, Hao Zai also discovered the body of one of Mei Wuming's men, while another one of Mei Wuming's men was missing.
Hao Zai made a prompt decision and made a direct call to the Fuxi District Patrol Room.
He reported the case to the Fuxi District Patrol Office as a senior inspector of the Central Patrol Office:
Mei Wuming, a bail officer from the Central Patrol Room, is suspected of absconding or being kidnapped, and there are casualties.
Hao Zai just called to report this matter.
The focus is not only on reporting Mei Wuming’s abduction, but also on his strategy for handling the matter.
Cheng Qianfan approved of Hao Zai's response.
What he often taught Hao Zi and Li Hao was that they should get used to thinking and handling problems as patrol officers, and they should wear patrol uniforms and do military affairs legally.
For example, this time, Hao Zai had a "legitimate" reason for leading people to follow Mei Wuming.
After Mei Wuming was blackmailed by Mr. Cheng's arranger, he "easily" came up with a bail amount of two thousand oceans.
Obviously, this is a fat sheep.
And this fat sheep still has a lot of oil and water to squeeze out.
This is why Hao Zai followed Mei Wuming and investigated this person.
Now, Mei Wuming's whereabouts are unknown, he is suspected to have been abducted, and his men are lying dead on the street. In this case, Hao Zai immediately reported the case to the Fuxi District Patrol Room and asked the patrol room to investigate the matter. This is the most impeccable s solution.
Considering that Mei Wuming was most likely an important member of the Shanghai District of the Central Unification Committee, the kidnapping of this person was most likely done by the Japanese or a traitor agent.
At this moment, the French Concession acted most quickly, and the only one who could investigate openly and even rescued Mei Wuming was the patrol house.
Yes, although the French Concession authorities have repeatedly tolerated the Japanese, the patrol office has no reason to give in to the bad behavior of the Japanese and traitorous agents who cross the border to kill and kidnap people. They must investigate and deal with it.
And it’s about the fat sheep that Mr. Xiao Cheng is eyeing. The Fuxi District Patrol Office must work hard to investigate the case.
Hao Zai can also intervene in the case in the name of assisting in handling the case and grasp the progress of the case at the first time.
…
Cheng Qianfan was quite satisfied with Hao Zai's reaction and adaptability.
“Brother Fan, who do you think Mei Wuming was kidnapped by?” Li Hao thought for a moment and asked.
Cheng Qianfan did not answer Li Hao's question immediately. He frowned and thought, "Haozi, have you ever thought about a question?"
Without waiting for Li Hao's answer, he continued, "Regardless of where Mei Wuming was kidnapped, the question is why was Mei Wuming targeted?"
“Mei Wuming was just released by us and was kidnapped right away.” Cheng Qianfan said, “What does this mean?”
“It means that Mei Wuming has been targeted for a long time.” Li Hao said.
"That's the problem." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "Since Mei Wuming may have been targeted a long time ago, we locked up Mei Wuming for two days and extorted a large sum of money from him, even a wealthy man. Zai led people to follow Mei Wuming, who can say that no one noticed all of this?"
“I understand, this is why Hao Zai immediately reported the case to the Fuxi District Patrol Room.” Li Hao said.
Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly, "So, now that this matter has reached this stage, we must be extra careful."
He looked at Li Hao, "Protecting ourselves is the first priority."
Cheng Qianfan flicked the ashes from his cigarette, raised a smile on his lips, and snorted, "Xue Yingzeng's people are indeed idiots."
Haozi glanced at Brother Fan. He wanted to say that the people in Zhongtong were also Chinese and were fraternal units. Now they were fighting the Japanese invaders together. They should put aside their previous grudges for the time being and could not ignore death. However, he did not dare to say these words after all. .
Cheng Qianfan glanced sideways at Li Hao, as if he could see Haozi's thoughts. He threw a cigarette to Haozi, smiled and cursed, "Silly brother, I am already righteous enough. If we are in trouble, what will happen to the Central Government?" It would be nice to help the idiots and not add insult to injury.”
As he said that, he sneered, "As I expected, the assassination of me by the 'First Officer' and 'Qizui' from Zhongtong had something to do with this Mei Wuming."
Li Hao, who was still struggling just now, immediately changed his face when he heard this, "Brother Fan, why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known earlier, I would have killed that guy, and how could I have let him out alive?"
It is not difficult for Haozi to kill people who are caught in the prison cell of the police station without anyone noticing.
"'First Mate'." Cheng Qianfan suddenly fell into deep thought, took a few deep puffs of cigarette, and said slowly, "'First Mate' knows about Mei Wuming."
“Brother Fan, do you suspect that it was the ‘first officer’ who attacked Mei Wuming this time?” Li Hao asked.
Cheng Qianfan nodded, then shook his head.
The ‘first officer’ most likely knew Mei Wuming, but why didn’t the ‘first officer’ take action earlier, instead of taking action now?
Is it because Mei Wuming was only revealed now?
He shook his head, this was a bit strange.
Perhaps something unexpected happened on No. 76, which directly led them to take action against Mei Wuming?
There are many things that are difficult to explain.
Traitor!
Cheng Qianfan's expression became extremely serious.
Comrade ‘Zhulin’ once taught him a truth:
When a very complicated situation occurs, or it is a situation that is completely incomprehensible, then the most likely possibility is that there is a traitor.
Only traitors can explain all this, because traitors know the internal situation best, and they often go straight to the core, making it difficult for us to guard against it.
But when he thought of the word ‘traitor’, Cheng Qianfan’s doubts and solemnity became even greater.
Traitor?
Who is the traitor?
‘First mate’?
The ‘first officer’ was indeed a traitor, but Cheng Qianfan’s intuition told him that it was probably not the ‘first officer’ who betrayed Mei Wuming this time.
The time is wrong.
So, is it the Zhongtong, or to put it further, is there a new traitor among Mei Wuming's men?
Although it is just a guess, Cheng Qianfan is increasingly inclined to this kind of research and judgment.
…
At this moment, the phone on the desk in the study rang again.
Cheng Qianfan picked up the phone and said, "I'm Cheng Qianfan."
"Brother Fan, it's me." Hao Zai said on the other end of the phone. "I found something. The identity of Mei Wuming is not simple."
“Big fish?” Cheng Qianfan looked interested and raised his voice a few pitches.
"Maybe it's the big fish of Chongqing's Central Unification." Hao Zai also said in an excited tone. He lowered his voice and said, "Brother Fan, Xia Yundi called Liu Yong."
"I'm going over now. Remember, Mei Wuming was the big fish discovered first in our Central District. Now this big fish has been kidnapped in Fuxi District. Liu Yong must give us an explanation." Cheng Qianfan He said, then hung up the phone.
He snorted coldly.
Xia Yundi, as Hao Zai said, is the 15th Patrol Inspector of Fuxi District, and Liu Yong is the Deputy Chief Inspector of the Fuxi District Patrol Room.
He looked at Li Hao and said, "Haozi, prepare your car and go to No. 39 Fuxi Road."
As he said that, he picked up the senior police officer's uniform hanging in the study room and put it on while saying, "Also, call the patrol room and inform Hou Pingliang to bring someone to meet me."
"Yes." Seeing Brother Fan put on his uniform and go to say goodbye to Ruolan's sister-in-law, Li Hao picked up the phone and asked for the phone, "I want the central patrol room. Who am I? I am Li Hao from the central patrol room."
…
No. 39, Fuxi Road.
The home of ‘Mei Wuming’.
"Mr. Liu." Xia Yundi glanced at Zhong Guohao, who was staring at the documents in a drawer, and whispered to Liu Yong, "It seems that Vice President Cheng's people are also eyeing this big fish."
"Againing the big fish?" Liu Yong sneered, "How is this enough? Believe it or not, that **** Cheng Qianfan will even rake him up."
Looking at Xia Yundi's puzzled look, Liu Yong shook his head and said, "You still don't understand that 'Mr. Xiao Cheng'."
At this time.
“Brother Liu, Cheng came here uninvited, but he is going to be an uninvited guest.” Cheng Qianfan, guarded by a group of his men, walked up and said with a loud smile.
"Since you are an uninvited guest, you'd better not come." Liu Yong squeezed out a smile on his dry face, and then laughed loudly, "Brother Yu was just joking with me. You, Vice President Cheng, are here. Brother, I will sweep the couch to greet you." It’s too late to welcome them.”
"I don't care about your bed." Cheng Qianfan curled his lips, then came closer and lowered his voice and said, "Brother Liu, I heard that the White Peony was sold to you..."
“Get out of here, grandma,” Liu Yong scolded.
The two looked at each other and laughed together.
They all understood what the other meant, and each gave in:
Cheng Qianfan initially shouted that he wanted to beat him up, but Liu Yong immediately pushed back, but he did not dare to offend Cheng Qianfan too much. In the end, the two reached an agreement:
The two families cooked this big fish together.
“Brother Cheng, please read this.” Liu Yong handed a stack of documents to Cheng Qianfan.
…
Cheng Qianfan took the document and looked at it, but his expression changed slightly.
This is a document on the "Measures to Restrict the Activities of Alien Parties".
This document is said to be from early January, when Xue Yingzhen, the central commander of Chongqing, led his generals Liang Fucheng, Xie Yongcun, Gao Jian and others to discuss and formulate a series of plans to restrict the activities of the Red Party.
Finally, after intense discussions, the Central Unification Committee completed the drafting of the "Measures for Restricting the Activities of Alien Parties", which was reviewed and modified by Xue Yingzhen and Pu Mengjiu. It was first finalized as a first draft and then reported to Chen Lifu. After Chen read and revised it, it was forwarded to Chang Kai state.
Chang Kaishen was very happy after reading it. After making some comments on the revised draft, he immediately issued it.
Thus, in January of the beginning of the year, the Fifth Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee of the Kuomintang was held. At the meeting, the "Measures for Restricting the Activities of Alien Parties", the collective work of the central unification cadres, was officially unveiled.
As the name suggests, restricting the activities of dissident parties means restricting the activities of red parties.
The "Measures for Restricting the Activities of Alien Parties" clearly stipulate that the thoughts, speeches and actions of all red parties and ideological radicals shall be strictly restricted, and all anti-Japanese groups and organizations led by the red parties shall be destroyed.
At the same time, for areas where the Red Party has frequent activities, it is stipulated to implement the policy of "continuously protecting and sitting together", and at the same time, a universal "communication network" is established in the Baojia organization to monitor and disrupt the activities of the revolutionary masses.
Cheng Qianfan and Liu Yong have only heard of this "Measures to Restrict the Activities of Foreign Parties" but have not seen it in person. However, they saw it today.
The two exchanged glances. It is said that only officials at a certain level within the Central Unification Committee will have this document on "Measures to Restrict the Activities of Alien Parties", which is enough to show that Mei Wuming's status is impressive.
…
“Brother Fan, here’s another one.” Hao Zai handed a pamphlet to Cheng Qianfan.
When the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China actively carried out anti-Red activities, the main method used was to write pamphlets to slander the Red Party and the Red Party’s anti-Japanese base areas.
The task of compiling the brochure is mainly completed by the Research Section of the Second Division of the Central Bureau of Statistics.
These pamphlets are called "special reports" within the Central Unification Committee. They register and sort out the intelligence collected by special agents, and then select the ones they think are useful, expand and exaggerate the content, arbitrarily distort the facts, and discredit the Red Army. party and progressives.
After compiling the pamphlet, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China selected a part of the special newspapers and published them in the name of a certain publishing house.
These special reports were written in a nonpartisan tone, using distorted "truths" to slander and "expose" the "crimes" of the Red Party, thus spreading rumors, causing trouble and deceiving the public.
Cheng Qianfan is holding such a similar booklet in his hand.
This can also prove Mei Wuming’s identity.
