"The road is busy?" Hao Zai was stunned for a moment.
"Wu Luchi." Cheng Qianfan said, "He used to use this name."
To be precise, Che Luwang is his real name, but the most famous person in the world is his pseudonym Wu Luchi.
Hao Zai immediately knew who this person was.
Within the army, Wu Luchi is a famous person. He has two most commendable things:
First, ‘Eradication, Wang Yajiu achieved great success in his action.
Secondly, he participated in the action to sanction Wang Chunhai commanded by Wang Tiemu, Chen Gongshu and others. Among them, Wang Chuhai's general Zeng Zhengmin died at the gunpoint of Wu Luchi. These two assassinations alone were enough to make Wu Luchi
The military leadership that values personal force has become a model for a while.
"How did he get exposed?" Hao Zai asked in shock.
"Yes, how could Che Luwang be exposed?" Cheng Qianfan nodded.
this is the key of the problem.
The best case scenario is that Cheluwang's situation is not secret and has attracted the attention of Japanese special agents, which means that nothing happened inside the Shanghai District.
If not, the problem would be serious. It is very likely that an important figure within the Shanghai District has been arrested, and there is a high probability that he will not be able to confess to Cheluwang even if he is punished.
Anyone who knows that Che Luwang has come to Shanghai and can provide his exact address and whereabouts must have a high status within Shanghai District.
"Go see Zhou Ru immediately." Cheng Qianfan ordered, "Call Chongqing in the name of the special situation team."
"How to write a telegram?" Hao Zai asked.
"Secret arrest No. 76 was busy driving. The car was on the street calling for help. He was arrested by the police station and detained by the political department." Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully.
After a pause, he continued, "The inside story..."
Shaking his head, Cheng Qianfan changed his words, "The details of this matter are unknown, and there may be an unexpected disaster. The Shanghai District should make urgent preparations and report to the bureau chief, Xiao Mian of the staff department."
"Have you remembered?" Cheng Qianfan asked Haozi, and then he frowned, "I asked you to remember it with your brain, not with pen and paper."
As he said that, he stretched out his hand and said with a serious expression, "Bring it here."
Hao Zai handed the small book to Cheng Qianfan.
Cheng Qianfan took a closer look, but his expression was strange, "What is this?"
"pony."
"Isn't it a donkey?" Cheng Qianfan frowned. Well, this is not the time to worry about whether it is a donkey or a horse. "Here, what does this little horse mean?"
"The traffic is booming," Hao Zai said.
Cheng Qianfan blinked. The pony represents a busy road. Are there any relationship between the two? "A pony is a horse-drawn cart. The car has wheels, and the road is prosperous." Hao Zai said.
"What about this?"
"This is a firetruck, calling for help."
"What's this?"
"are you blind."
"A blind man?" Cheng Qianfan frowned and thought, "A blind man tells fortunes?"
"As expected of Brother Fan, you can guess all this." Hao Zai smiled and flattered him, "A blind man tells fortunes. Unexpected disasters will happen."
"This puppy?" Cheng Qianfan asked again.
"Brother Fan, that's a leopard, please report..."
Cheng Qianfan looked at Haozi blankly, "You should read it as you wrote it yourself."
"Secret arrest No. 76 was busy driving. The car was on the street calling for help. He was arrested by the police station and is now detained in the Political Department. The details of this matter are unknown. There is fear of unexpected disasters. The Shanghai District should make urgent preparations and report to the bureau.
Xiao Mian from the staff department." Hao Zai read his transcript and said quickly.
Cheng Qianfan was shocked. He found it word for word. He took a long breath and patted Hao Zai on the shoulder, "You are really a talent, Hao Zai. It's true."
Although he knew that Hao Zai had this ability three years ago when he inquired about information at Baicaotang and the drug store, and later also learned that Hao Zai had his own special way of remembering, this time it still opened his eyes.
Vision, feeling.
"Go." Cheng Qianfan said. He had nothing to worry about now. As far as what Hao Zai recorded, fortune tellers would shake their heads after seeing it.
After Hao Zai went out, Cheng Qianfan sat on a chair. He took out his cigarette box and pulled out a cigarette.
He opened the drawer and did not reach for the gold lighter, but reached for the match box. There was a click, and a match caught fire. Cheng Qianfan slowly lit a cigarette and flicked the match root.
, took a puff of the cigarette, and exhaled the smoke gently from the nasal cavity.
He is thinking.
It should be said that the "street cleaning operation" he came up with using the French Bastille Day as a time point was tailor-made for the possibility that No. 76 would cross the border and enter the French Concession to arrest people.
Without knowing what No. 76 intended and who his target was, his response was a stupid one, but it was the safest preset response he could make without alerting the enemy.
If it weren't for the 'Clean Street Operation', the possibility of Che Luwang being abducted by No. 76 is extremely high.
Now, it should be said that this response method is quite successful and its purpose has been achieved.
Cheng Qianfan is thinking about three things in his mind right now.
First, the internal self-examination of the special situation team found that there was something wrong with three people. Among these three, which one was misunderstood, which one just made a small mistake such as desertion, and did not commit a more serious mistake, and which one was the real one?
Is there a problem? And there is one thing that Cheng Qianfan has to worry about - if there is a problem, it may not be that he has taken refuge with the Japanese, but may be a comrade of the underground party.
Secondly, Cheng Qianfan's intuition told him that something must have happened to someone at the top of the Shanghai District. Who was this person? If something happened in the Shanghai District, would it affect the Shanghai Special Investigation Team?
Thirdly, he agreed that Li Baibai would go to Li Cuiqun at the special agent headquarters to help with "good words and mediation". This was exactly what Cheng Qianfan wanted. It was a good thing that he had a legitimate reason to inquire about this matter.
However, this also made Cheng Qianfan even more worried about the future situation of the French Concession. This incident further exposed the harsh nature of the French. The French are becoming weaker and weaker in the face of the Japanese, and even now in the face of Han Chinese like the Secret Service Headquarters.
As for the female secret service organization, the French also began to give in step by step:
Peter was one of the senior French police officers in the French Concession Police Station who always advocated a tough stance against Japan.
Although Pete's statement on this matter today still advocates a tough attitude, Pete himself agreed that Li Baibai came to him, which actually allowed the patrol room to ease the situation through Cheng Qianfan's relatively good personal friendship with the Japanese and Li Cuiqun.
, which itself is a kind of concession and compromise—
The deep-seated pride of the French makes them strong in maintaining their self-esteem, insisting on not letting go for the time being, and worrying about a real stalemate with Japan.
If this continues, if the French face the Japanese and even give in step by step on the 76th, then the Red Party, the Chongqing side and other anti-Japanese groups who are secretly carrying out anti-Japanese activities in the French Concession will have an increasingly difficult time.
After smoking the cigarette and clearing away the mixed thoughts in his mind, Cheng Qianfan picked up the phone receiver and said, "Who am I looking for at No. 76 Jisi Feier Road? Deputy Director Li Cuiqun, who am I? I am
Cheng Qianfan."
About an hour later.
No. 76, Jisfield Road.
"Junior, if you are here to be a lobbyist, please don't talk too much." Li Cuiqun poured a cup of tea for Cheng Qianfan himself, "The patrol room must immediately release the personnel of my secret service headquarters and extradite Che Luwang to me immediately.
square."
Cheng Qianfan took a sip of tea and sighed contentedly, "Li Baibai found me, so I had to come here."
As he spoke, he took out his cigarette case, took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff. "Of course, there should be some political meaning behind this."
He looked at Li Cuiqun and said, "The patrol room doesn't want the relationship to be completely stalemate. I just need to show up in the senior's office and come here. As for what I say, it doesn't matter."
"The French think this is just to give me face? Will it satisfy me?" Li Cuiqun snorted coldly, "Let him go immediately and hand him over!"
"Senior, let's talk to the Fuxi District Patrol Office and the Political Department. If it's not convenient for us to talk, or if we don't want to have direct contact with them, I can convey some things to you."
Cheng Qianfan was not angry because of Li Cuiqun's attitude, he smiled slightly and said.
Li Cuiqun took a deep look at his junior student. He understood what the patrol room in the French Concession meant. Cheng Qianfan appeared here, or Cheng Qianfan's role in this matter was to ease the relationship.
,Although this easing relationship may be only symbolic and has no substantive effect, when the contradiction may further intensify, the role of Cheng Qianfan's presence will be reflected.
"Che Luwang may not be extradited for the time being." Li Cuiqun pondered for a moment and said, "However, our special agent headquarters will enter the French Concession to search for Che Luwang's accomplices in accordance with the law. The French Concession Patrol Office must actively cooperate."
Cheng Qianfan's heart skipped a beat.
Che Luwang's accomplice.
The person who can be called "Che Luwang's associate" in Li Cuiqun's words is naturally none other than the top brass of the Shanghai District of Juntong.
Well, one thing is now certain. The Secret Service Headquarters holds the names and addresses of very important personnel.
"I can convey this request to the Political Department on behalf of the senior." Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly, "At the latest, I will give the senior a clear answer tomorrow afternoon at the latest."
"It's too late." Li Cuiqun shook his head and pointed to the phone on his desk, "Junior, why don't you call me now for instructions?"
Now?
Cheng Qianfan glanced at Li Cuiqun hesitantly. He had an intuition that the arrest operation at the secret service headquarters had already begun.
"That's fine." Cheng Qianfan frowned and said thoughtfully, "I am only responsible for conveying the senior's wishes. Whether it succeeds or fails, I don't ask."
No. 19, Luojiawan, Chongqing.
"Brother Mingzhe, try the golden bear duck that was just baked." Qi Wu greeted Zheng Weilong enthusiastically.
Zheng Weilong squinted his eyes, twisted a duck leg with his hands, and started to enjoy the meal. Qi Wu secretly laughed in his heart. After Zheng Weilong was electrocuted by the Japanese, his squint was cured. However, he had developed a habit of squinting when seeing things.
Habit.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Qi Wu said.
The person who came in was Mao Shun. He saluted Qi Wu and Zheng Weilong, and then stood aside. Zheng Weilong glanced at the folder in Mao Shun's hand and understood. He stood up, patted his butt, and muttered, "Go and relieve yourself."
"
Qi Wu smiled and said nothing.
After Zheng Weilong left, Qi Wu took the telegram from Mao Shun. He waved his hand and motioned for Mao Shun to close the door and go out. He himself returned to sit on the chair behind the desk and translated the telegram.
Qi Wu's forehead instantly shed beads of sweat.
He folded the telegraph newspaper, put it in his pocket, and patted it.
Then he rubbed his cheeks with his hands, and soon a gentle and calm smile returned to his face. Then he opened the door and walked unhurriedly towards the deputy director's office.
"Qi Wu is here." Dai Chunfeng looked gloomy and nodded, signaling Qi Wu to wait for a moment.
He was listening to Lu Peichu’s report on the situation at Wuhan Station
Liu Gai, the current station chief of Wuhan Station, and Kang Xin, deputy station chief and secretary, are both veteran agents. If they can work together, they will certainly be able to make contributions to the occupied Wuhan area and serve the country.
However, Lu Peichu, the special correspondent sent by Dai Chunfeng to investigate Wuhan Station, returned. According to Lu Pechu's report, Wuhan Station can be said to be in a mess now.
The root cause is the discord between the two chief officers, Liu Gai and Kang Xin.
The two men disagreed on how to engage in anti-Japanese activities in occupied areas.
Liu Gai advocated winning over the puppet troops and mastering the armed forces in order to cover intelligence work. Kang Xin believed that this idea did not dare to fight the enemy head-on, and encouraged the momentum of Han women, which was quite contrary to the national policy of resisting the war to the end, so he advocated focusing on
Engage in operations against the enemy.
Since then, Kang Xin has failed twice to assassinate the enemy, causing serious losses to Wuhan station personnel.
Kang Xin accused Liu Gai of not cooperating with the action and was even suspected of being a hindrance. Liu Gai accused Kang Xin of being incompetent and instead complained about Pao Ze. The two completely fell out with each other. Wuhan Station was actually divided into two parts, with Liu Gai and Liu Gai respectively.
Kang Xin, the commander-in-chief, each went his own way and did not communicate with each other, even to the point where one party was in trouble and the other party could do nothing to save it.
"Asshole!" As Lu Peichu's report stopped, Dai Chunfeng's face became more and more gloomy. He slapped his palm on the table, "We should be a team of sincere and united people, but they are just like passers-by, fighting on their own. What are they going to do?"
When Lu Pei saw Dai Chunfeng angry for the first time, he could only smile bitterly in his heart and dare not speak.
He knew that such a report would make Dai Chunfeng furious, but the situation at Wuhan Station was so corrupt. If he did not tell the truth, if something happened to Wuhan Station in the future, it would be Lu Peichu who would be unlucky.
"Seat." Qi Wu waited for about two minutes. Seeing that Dai Chunfeng was still furious, he also smiled bitterly in his heart. He knew that submitting the message from the Shanghai Special Situation Team at this time would only add fuel to the fire, but,'
The military situation was urgent, but he still did not dare to delay any longer. "Secretary, Chief Liu has just returned to Chongqing after a long journey. Do you want to ask him to go home first?" Qi Wu said softly from the side.
Dai Chunfeng glanced at Qi Wu. Although he was angry inside, he was also surprised that Qi Wu actually said at this time, "Go home and take a look." However, he knew Qi Wu and knew that there was a reason why Qi Wu said this.
.
"Go." Dai Chunfeng waved his hand.
Lu Peichu felt as if he had received an amnesty. He glanced at Qi Wu gratefully and hurriedly "escaped from the sea of suffering."
Dai Chunfeng looked at Qi Wu, he needed a reasonable explanation.
"Secretary, urgent call from Shanghai Special Situation Team." Qi Wu took out the message and handed it to Dai Chunfeng with both hands.
"Oh? Is it good news?" Dai Chunfeng took the message and asked casually.
