"The Japanese didn't say that they would continue to investigate the assassination case?" Jin Kemu glanced at Cheng Qianfan and said, "I need to have an explanation."
"I'll check it if I say it." Cheng Qianfan's eyes showed a dark and unclear color. He took out a cigarette clip and signaled to Jin Kemu. Seeing Jin Kemu shake his head, he lit a cigarette by himself and took a sip of the cigarette.
"What was found?" Jin Kemu asked immediately.
Two faint smokes erupted from Cheng Qianfan's nose. He glanced at Jin Kemu and his worries rose to a higher level.
"A Japanese friend told me that it was Zhang Xiaolin's behind the scenes." Cheng Qianfan said.
As he said that, Cheng Qianfan put the cigarette in the ashtray on Jin Kemu's desk, picked up his police cap and put it on, "Uncle Jin, I still have something to do with me, so I won't disturb you from always handling official business."
"Go, go." Jin Kemu waved his hand with a smile.
Back at the office of the Deputy General Administration Chief, Cheng Qianfan poured himself a cup of tea, savored it carefully, and thought it carefully.
Jin Kemu suddenly asked about the situation of the "assassination case".
There may be a little concern.
However, it should be more about inquiries.
Inquiry about the news about the "first mate" and "sighed mouth"?
Or is it the situation of four people who were later confessed by the "first mate" and captured by the Japanese?
Is it simply out of sympathy and concern for anti-Japanese elements?
Or is it that Jin Kemu has secretly had contact with Chongqing?
The deeper he thought about it, thinking about some of the details and manifestations of Jin Kemu over the past few days, he felt that Jin Kemu might have been related to Chongqing.
It is not yet known whether they have agreed to serve Chongqing, but the two sides are likely to have contact and are more optimistic.
Cheng Qianfan took a sip of tea and put down the tea cup.
He leaned back on the chair, crossed his legs, held his right hand on his head, and fell into deep thought.
Central government?
Or the Military Control Commission?
After a little thought, he ruled out the Central Plains.
Because Jin Kemu's words just now may have the meaning of "spoken" and "provoking" his "friendly relationship" with the Japanese.
Is Jin Kemu testing the power behind him or considering recruiting him?
Jin Kemu knew about the interrogation report of "其典". This case actually involved the Central Commission for Discipline. In this case, the Central Commission for Discipline would not have time to hide, so how could he dare to come to him automatically?
Since this is the case, Cheng Qianfan guessed that the military commander should be in contact with Jin Kemu.
Further, it is the Military Control Commission Shanghai Station.
Zheng Weilong?!
A flash of inspiration in Cheng Qianfan's mind.
In order to rescue Zheng Weilong, Cheng Qianfan deliberately induced Sanben to formulate the so-called "sickle plan", which meant to secretly express goodwill to Zheng Weilong to attract Zheng Weilong's recruitment.
Later, Zheng Weilong successfully escaped and left Shanghai, but the Military Control Commission Shanghai Station did not further recruit Cheng Qianfan.
At the beginning, Midorizaki Kentaro would ask "Miyazaki Kentaro" about the progress of the "Scythe Plan". Cheng Qianfan naturally had a puzzled expression, and at the same time showed a slight joy:
This is because the plan was formulated by Sanbenro. In fact, "Kentaro Miyazaki" reluctantly accepted the task because he was afraid of death. Miyazaki himself did not want to invade the Military Control Commission, which was too dangerous.
The Military Control Commission has never taken the initiative to contact Cheng Qianfan anymore. Sanbenshilang was disappointed and could only admit that the "Scythe Plan" failed.
In fact, this is a doomed plan. Cheng Qianfan reported the matter to Dai Chunfeng and expressed his concerns about this plan.
After careful measurement, Dai Chunfeng also believed that the feasibility of arranging Miyazaki Kentaro into the Military Control Commission was too low. This operation seemed to be a magical move, but in fact it was too dangerous and had endless dangers.
Cheng Qianfan rubbed his temples, frowned slightly, with doubts and confusion in his eyes.
If it was indeed as he had speculated that behind Jin Kemu was the Military Control Commission Shanghai Station, then the operation of Shanghai Station would make him unable to understand.
This is the Shanghai Station's own initiative, believing that the Japanese forced to leave the two murderers who were "assassination cases". Will this cause a crack between him and the Japanese, which makes him feel heartbroken?
Therefore, I want to take the opportunity to recruit "Mr. Xiao Cheng"?
On this side, Jin Kemu didn't know that Cheng Qianfan was "so cunning", and he actually saw through his intentions from his words.
At noon, the Citroen car of the General Officer of the Central Police Officer Jin Kemu Jin drove out of the yard of the Central Police Officer.
Cheng Qianfan stood at the window, holding a kettle of watering flowers in his hand, and looked at the car turning right after leaving the yard gate, his eyes flashing.
At the first floor entrance of Chunfeng Deyi Building.
Su Zhe, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly stepped forward to help Mr. Jin open the car door.
"Golden head, the distinguished guest is already waiting in the private room." Su Zhe said.
"Are you anxious when you are waiting?" Jin Kemu asked.
"The distinguished guest has been staying in the private room." Su Zhe understood what Jin Kemu was going to ask and whispered.
Jin Kemu nodded and signaled Su Zhe to lead the way.
Soon, I went up to the second floor, Mr. Jin’s exclusive private room.
Su Zhe knocked on the door, vented the guests inside, then pushed open the door, and watched Jin Kemu enter, staying outside and looking at the wind honestly.
Who is this distinguished guest?
A dripping gurgle appeared in his heart.
...
When Jin Kemu's Citroen car returned to Xuehuali Road, it was already 3:30 in the afternoon.
At this time, Cheng Qianfan was standing at the office window, watching Su Zhe get off the bus from the co-pilot, go around and open the door for Jin Kemu.
Mr. Jin got off the car and looked good. He strided towards the casino building. Along the way, he met the policeman standing attentively and nodded in response with a smile.
Cheng Qianfan thought about something.
At this moment, Datou Lu knocked in and reported to Cheng Qianfan that Mr. Jin had hosted a VIP at Chunfeng Deyi Building.
Cheng Qianfan took a sip of the cigarette lightly, and he was silent while pondering the news that Datou Lu said.
After a while, he asked, "Do you know the origin of the VIP that Mr. Jin welcomed?"
"I don't know." Big Head Lu shook his head, "It's very mysterious. Su Zhe personally arranged the reception without passing the hands of others."
"What are you suspicious?" Cheng Qianfan turned his head and looked at Datou Lu with a scrutiny.
"Subordinate, I heard..." Big Head Lu Yi gritted his teeth, "A Guan has now joined the Red Party."
As he said that, Datou Lu raised four fingers.
Cheng Qianfan's face changed. He closed the window, gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice, "Who did you hear me? Is the news reliable?"
"Someone met the New Fourth Army in Jurong, saying that an officer looked like Aguan." Datou Lu said.
As Datou Lu spoke, he secretly looked at Cheng Qianfan's expression.
"How accurate is it?" Cheng Qianfan asked immediately.
"Because it was evening and it was getting late, and the man couldn't see it very clearly. He only said that he looked like Mr. Guan from the police station." Datou Lu said.
Cheng Qianfan remained silent.
He blew the ash and directly knocked out the cigarette butt in the ashtray. He looked at Datou Lu with a serious expression, "Call the little monkey."
"Yes!" Big Head Lu agreed, turned around and left to call someone.
Cheng Qianfan had a serious expression.
He Guan has long become a glorious Bolshevik comrade and is currently in the New Fourth Army, so he knows this situation.
In order to avoid the enemy's revenge and kill the families of the New Fourth Army, the team kept the true identity of the comrades, especially the officers.
However, I didn't expect that someone would recognize He Guan. This was mainly because He Guan, as a policeman in the French Concession, was Jin Kemu's nephew. Young Master Guan was also a celebrity in the Central Police Station, and many people knew him.
Cheng Qianfan thought secretly what was the leak of his identity, what might be the impact and dangers of Guan's family and Jin Kemu.
Unless the Japanese captured He Guan, or there was conclusive evidence that He Guan joined the New Fourth Army, the Japanese would have no choice but to deal with Jin Kemu, He Mu and others. After all, Jin Kemugui was the general commander of the Central Police Station. Unless the Japanese declare war on France and sent troops to occupy the French Concession, they would not be able to threaten the safety of a general commander and his family for the time being.
Even if the Japanese had evidence that He Guan joined the New Fourth Army, they could not do anything to Jin Kemu for a while.
Cheng Qianfan felt a little relieved.
Then his heart sucked again. Is this distinguished guest that Jin Kemu secretly met?
If it is really something, then Aguan is in danger.
Datou Lu brought Hou Pingliang in.
"Brother Fan." Hou Pingliang said.
"Defendant Commander Lu told you," Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Yes, Brother Lu has already told me." Hou Pingliang said.
"Be smart, stare at me yourself." Cheng Qianfan said.
"Do you want to call a few brothers..." Big Head Lu asked from the side.
"No." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "The following is the focus. If there are too many people, it is easy to cause bad things."
He looked at Hou Pingliang, "If you are discovered, do you know what to say?"
"There is information that the Jiang Mule bandit gang secretly sneaked into the central area, intending to be ill-telling to the superiors, in order to protect the superiors' safety..." Hou Pingliang said.
"Ging Mule, Shanghai is a big trouble, and it will be punished sooner or later." Cheng Qianfan waved his hand and signaled Hou Pingliang and Datou Lu to retreat.
He arranged for Hou Pingliang to monitor Jin Kemu alone, but there was nothing else. The little monkey was his confidant. To be precise, the little monkey was only loyal to him. If he found out, Hou Pingliang would only inform him secretly and ask him for instructions.
Cheng Qianfan thought about it for a moment, and his judgment was that the distinguished guest that Jin Kemu had secretly met was probably not important.
Everyone didn't know that He Guan joined the New Fourth Army, but it was not a secret that He Guan joined the National Army to fight against Japan. In this case, He Guan was not easy to show up in public. At least the young man from Chunfeng Deyilou must have recognized Young Master Guan.
In this case, even if He Guan secretly returns to Shanghai, the safest way is to secretly meet with Jin Kemu. Even if he secretly meets with Jin Kemu in He Mansion, it is much safer than meeting at Chunfeng Deyi Building.
Therefore, after calm analysis at this time, Cheng Qianfan thought that the mysterious VIP that Jin Kemu met was unlikely to be related, but it was possible that it was-
Someone at the Military Control Commission Shanghai Station?
Given that this "information" was reported by Datou Lu, neither Li Hao nor Haozai was suitable for this matter. In this case, it is most appropriate for him to arrange Hou Pingliang to investigate the matter.
...
get off work.
"Mr. Xiao Cheng" returned home, spent dinner with his family, and teased Sesame again. Unexpectedly, he wanted to make the little guy cry and was driven out by the angry Xiaobao.
Cheng Qianfan then went straight to the study.
He opened the safe in the study.
The safe has three floors, one floor is full of banknotes, including pounds, US dollars, Japanese yen, francs, and fiat currency.
The first layer is golden yellow croaker and gold, silver and jade jewelry.
There is also a floor where various documents and passes are placed.
He carefully compared and compared the blank special pass that Jin Kemu gave him with the stack of special passes in the safe.
Finally, I simply took it out and placed it under the desk lamp. I checked it carefully and nodded with satisfaction.
I worked hard at the desk for a long time.
I took out one real, three fake and four passes and put it in my briefcase.
About half an hour later, Mr. Xiao Cheng's car slowly drove away from Cheng's mansion.
...
Tan Mansion.
There are two osmanthus trees planted in the inner courtyard, one symmetrical on the left and the other on the right.
These two trees have been around for a while and are regarded by Tan Pinggong as the auspicious trees of the Tan Mansion.
It is very beautiful every year when it blooms, and the yard is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus.
Osmanthus can also be made into osmanthus cake.
It’s still early to bloom with osmanthus flowers, and Tan Pinggong’s youngest son is already talking about osmanthus cake.
At this moment, under the moonlight, Tan Pinggong sat on the stone bench under the osmanthus tree, with a solemn expression, staring at a osmanthus tree and pondering. A gust of wind blew, Tan Pinggong felt a little cold. He took a sip of the cold tea, but exclaimed, called the flashlight to see, and saw that the osmanthus tree had bugs.
This discovery made Tan Pinggong, who was already a little uneasy, even more restless.
There was a sound of footsteps.
Tan Pinggong looked up and saw that his wife was walking towards her with a coat.
"Be careful of catching a cold." Mrs. Tan draped a coat over her husband.
"The wind blows cold." Tan Pinggong sighed, "I am anxious now, but I am also as cold as ice on my back."
...
"Master, there is no need to say much about the danger here." Mrs. Tan said with a sad face, "We must make a decision early."
"No, this money is a donation raised by the Nanyang lords for the anti-Japanese war. You must not..." Tan Pinggong's face changed and he said.
"Where did you want to go?" Mrs. Tan said seriously, "Although I am a woman, I also know the righteousness of my family and country."
She looked at her husband, "I mean, if this money is one more day in our hands, it will be more day more dangerous. It is better to find a way to contact Chongqing, the government is..."
Tan Pinggong glanced at the young wife and remained silent.
This money was a donation raised by the Nanyang business travelers for the anti-Japanese war, or to be precise, a donation raised specifically for the New Fourth Army.
It was just because of the sacrifice of the contact person that he had broken off contact with the Red Party.
Tan Pinggong wanted to inquire secretly and try to contact the New Fourth Army, but after thinking carefully, it was too dangerous. If the New Fourth Army was not in contact, the Japanese would come to the door first.
In this way, Tan Pinggong could only wait passively.
However, seeing that there was a lot of time, he became increasingly worried. He always felt that the money was like a time bomb that could blow up the Tan Mansion to ashes at any time.
This is the reason for worrying.
Now, my wife proposed that the donations were for the anti-Japanese war anyway, and it was for the Red Party to fight against Japan, and it was for the legitimate anti-Japanese war for Chongqing.
"Master, in comparison, as long as we find a way, we can contact Chongqing. This is much easier and safer than finding the New Fourth Army." Mrs. Tan said.
