In late autumn, the heat has completely dissipated.
Cheng Qianfan and Lao Huang were eating chicken shredded noodles in Chunfeng Deyilou.
"The court has already made a judgment, and now you can rest assured." Lao Huang said.
"This lawyer Luo is good at ease." Cheng Qianfan nodded and said.
In order to rescue Comrade Han Lin, the organization specially hired Lawyer Luo Jiaqing, a disciple of Lawyer Song Liu, to defend Han Lin.
After nearly a month of operation, Han Lin's case was finally sentenced in the French Concession Public Court.
Han Lin was sentenced to three years in prison for illegal gatherings and engaging in illegal Zheng Zhi activities. He is now serving his sentence in Target Field Prison.
"This time the French Concession authorities were able to withstand the pressure from the Japanese and Wang Puppets. It was unexpected that they had no one to hand over the man." Lao Huang said.
"The French Concession is now leaning against the Germans, and his back is getting hard." Cheng Qianfan said with a chuckling.
This is not a joke. The French Concession authorities would probably give in to the unreasonable demands of the Japanese. This time they were rarely tough and insisted on putting Han Lin in the internal court of the French Concession on the grounds of refusing Japan to interfere with the internal affairs of the French Concession and making a judgment.
...
"It's still lack of experience, otherwise the results will be better." Lao Huang said.
"Young man, full of passion, didn't think so much." Cheng Qianfan shook his head and said.
Han Lin was a tough guy, and he was loyal and unyielding, but he still lacked experience in fighting. When he was tortured for the first time in the police station, he shouted the red anti-Japanese slogan, which undoubtedly confirmed that he was the "evidence" of the Red Party.
In fact, as long as Han Lin has more experience in fighting and has a more flexible mind, he will never admit that he is the Red Party and keeps calling for injustice.
With the help of lawyers and the help of public opinion, there is no chance of bail.
"Because of this incident, your relationship with Li Cuiqun has a broken relationship?" Lao Huang asked.
"It's stiff but not broken. Whether it's Li Cuiqun or I, we know that it's really a turnaround, and it's not good for us either." Cheng Qianfan said, "Li Cuiqun also wants to save face. He is waiting for me to take the initiative to show his goodwill. Next month is Mrs. Li Cuiqun's birthday. This is an opportunity. I come to congratulate you, and the relationship will naturally ease."
"No," Lao Huang nodded, "It is right to ease the relationship. If No. 76 cannot be targeted, it will be troublesome."
...
"I heard that within the Shanghai Party Organization, there are constant shouts of killing you." Old Huang looked at Cheng Qianfan and said.
"Normal." Cheng Qianfan said lightly, "The police station arrested the Red Party and planned to use a long line to catch big fish. This is no longer a secret."
He chuckled and said to Lao Huang, "I may not say that any comrades will think that I am more sinister and worse than No. 76 this time."
Lao Huang nodded, it was true.
According to the comrades, if No. 76 had just captured Han Lin and ruined the good thing about the police station, it would have been awful if Cheng Qianfan had made a plan to fish for big fish in a long line.
Therefore, the current infamous reputation of "Xiao Cheng" has the ability to compete with No. 76.
Within the Shanghai local party organizations, the sound of shouting and beating and killing "Xiao Cheng" became louder and louder.
The emotional young comrades are even willing to complete the task of eliminating traitors at the cost of their lives.
...
"Why did the agent headquarters target Han Lin and Liao's grain and oil shops? Have you found out?" Lao Huang asked.
"I figured it out. Comrade 'Abacus' sent the information and said that the organization had already found out that Mao Rui from the anti-Japanese propaganda department was not secretly acting. After being arrested, he betrayed and confessed to Comrade Cao Zhibin who worked in the Liao family's grain and oil shop." Cheng Qianfan said, "Comrade Han Lin happened to go there to find that comrade. He was unlucky and was also identified by Mao Rui."
Cheng Qianfan informed Lao Huang about Mao Rui's rebellion.
"It's extremely ridiculous!" Old Huang said angrily.
As a comrade on the hidden front, he actually leaked his identity because of a battle of will and was secretly arrested by the enemy and rebelled. This is an unimaginable low-level mistake.
Cheng Qianfan shook his head without complaining.
It is a good thing for young comrades to be passionate, but they need to be beaten to become successful. The process of beaten must be tested by blood and fire.
He remembered Fang Muheng back then, who was so naive that he was unreasonable, and he didn't know how Comrade Fang Muheng was now.
...
"Comrade Chen Kewen, I have heard of your name for a long time, and I finally saw it today." Comrade Yi Jun smiled and shook hands with the man in front of him.
"Hello, Chief." Chen Kewen shook hands with Comrade Yi Jun, and saluted again, and said, introducing the comrades around him, "This is Comrade Huang Zhongyuan."
"Hello Comrade Huang Zhongyuan." Chen Kewen looked at the young comrade, "I have heard of you. Comrade Meiling doesn't praise others easily. I heard that he wrote a poem to praise you."
"Hello, Chief." Huang Zhongyuan saluted Comrade Yi Jun.
"Sit down and talk." Comrade Yi Jun nodded slightly.
...
"I have received a telegram from Comrade Gu Ying." Comrade Yi Jun said, "The organization will do its best to cooperate with your work."
He said to Chen Kewen, "I have also sent someone to understand Cai Zhengze's situation."
"Cai Zhengze, from Dongtai, Jiangsu." Comrade Yi Jun said, "He was originally the deputy company commander of the Jiangsu Security Corps. After Shanghai fell, he was stranded in Shanghai."
"This person has a bit of a passion for the Qing Gang. With the help of the Qing Gang, he hid for more than a year and had not been found out."
"Later, Zhang Xiaolin learned about his identity. Cai Zhengze was recruited by the old commander Hu Delin and joined the puppet army. Here I want to talk about this Hu Delin. He was from the Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army. Later, he rebelled with He Xingjian. After He Xingjian was removed from the Military Control Commission, Hu Delin remained unchanged and was a hard-core traitor."
"Cai Zhengze is now the commander of the 15th Regiment of the 4th Division of the Third Army of the First Front Army of the Pacification Army."
"In order to show its legitimacy, the Wang puppet regime obtained the permission of the Japanese master. A brigade of the appeasement army entered the outskirts of Shanghai, including Cai Zhengze's 15th Regiment." Comrade Yi Jun said, "Of course, I believe that most of these situations have been mastered by you. I will talk about the recent investigation results."
...
"We have learned about this Cai Zhengze. Although he is a puppet officer, he has no obvious evil deeds. When he swept away my base and guerrilla areas, his troops were relatively restrained and had a low level of harm to the people. It is said that this is also derived from Cai Zhengze's constraints." Comrade Yi Jun said.
"Yes, Chief." Huang Zhongyuan nodded and said, "According to the puppet officers who were released to Cai Zhengze's troops after we captured them, Cai Zhengze has always been worried about being a traitor. He once sighed and said that he could not enter the ancestral grave after he died."
Through the release of prisoners, Comrade Yi Jun's enemy Ministry of Works had a side contact with Cai Zhengze. Although he did not directly contact Cai Zhengze himself, Cai Zhengze's confidant subordinate and Cai Zhengze's cousin Cai Zhengqi's response to the flag raising was relatively positive.
The purpose of his visit to Shanghai with Chen Kewen was to secretly contact Cai Zhengze's troops on behalf of the team and strive for Cai Zhengze's uprising in front of the formation.
...
"Now, let's focus on this Cai Zhengqi." Comrade Yi Jun said.
He took a sip of tea and continued.
"Cai Zhengqi, 26 years old, studied in Japan in his early years. Later, he returned to China. After Cai Zhengze defected to the Japanese and became a puppet army, because his cousin could speak Japanese, he was pulled into the puppet army by Cai Zhengze." Comrade Yi Jun said.
"From the information we have, Cai Zhengqi is actually dissatisfied with being pulled by his cousin Cai Zhengze into the puppet army and becoming a traitor."
"We also have an understanding of this." Chen Kewen nodded, "Although Cai Zhengqi studied in Japan, this person is not close to the Japanese and is a target that can be fought for."
"In addition, based on the information we have, the enemy will carry out a sweep of the anti-Japanese guerrilla areas in the Qingpu area in the near future. Cai Zhengze's troops are likely to participate in this sweep." Chen Kewen said, "If Cai Zhengze's troops can be successfully persuaded to abandon the secret and turn to the light, this will play a key role in this anti-sweeping, and will also be a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Japanese traitors."
"My opinion can be contacted with Cai Zhengqi first. Cai Zhengze has too many variables and is more dangerous." Comrade Yi Jun thought and said.
"I agree." Comrade Chen Kewen thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I'll bother the comrades in the local area this time."
...
"I'll mention a little bit." Huang Zhongyuan thought, and said, "I think we should be more cautious and vigilant about Cai Zhengqi and not trust this person too much."
"It seems that Comrade Huang Zhongyuan has something to say." Comrade Yi Jun looked at the heroic young officer, smiled and nodded, and encouraged him to continue expressing his opinions.
"A friend of mine said before that if you have studied abroad, you will naturally be close to Japanese people. Be careful," said Huang Zhongyuan.
"This opinion was very timely." Comrade Yi Jun nodded, "The enemy is very cunning, even more cunning than we can imagine. We must pay attention to this."
He said with a serious expression, and then the three of them discussed for a while, and Comrade Yi Jun notified the traffic officer to arrange for the two to rest.
...
"Did you miss home?" Chen Kewen glanced at Huang Zhongyuan who had not fallen asleep yet and asked.
"Yes." Huang Zhongyuan nodded.
Can you not miss home? I have been out for several years and have survived on the battlefield several times. I didn’t feel it outside. Now that I’m back in Shanghai and so close to my home, I can’t help but miss my relatives.
"Do you want to quietly go to the door of your house to take a look?" Chen Kewen said.
"No." Huang Zhongyuan shook his head firmly, "The task is important, and it cannot be caused by private affairs."
"Not bad, I've made great progress and grown up." Chen Kewen smiled.
Huang Zhongyuan glanced at Chen Kewen. Because the lights turned off, it was dark, so he naturally couldn't see Chen Kewen's face clearly. He wanted to ask, "How did you have the attitude to say this? You were much more immature than me back then, Master Fang!"
"I haven't been home for so many years. When I see my mother, she will definitely ask me how Xiaolan is and if I have any children." Huang Zhongyuan said, his tone was a little low, "I don't know how to answer."
