"Inspector Lu, we're here." The rickshaw driver gently stabilized the car and said with a smile.
He took the banknote from Lu Hu's hand and said hurriedly, "More, more."
"Take it if it's given to you." Lu Hu strode forward, "The price of rice keeps changing every day, it's not easy."
"Scare the farmers, scare the farmers." The coachman thanked him profusely, looked at Lu Hu's back, and bowed very solemnly.
"Brother Lu."
"Brother Tiger."
"Brother Tiger."
The neighbors in Huaili greeted Lu Hu one after another.
Lu Hu responded with a smile. Regarding the old aunt who called him "Brother Tiger", Lu Hu even took a few fruit candies from his pocket to show his respect. The old aunt praised Brother Hu for his filial piety.
"I'm back." Mrs. Lu, who was busy in the kitchen, poked her head out, "I'll roast the duck, steam the fish you brought back yesterday, and have a few more drinks in the evening to relieve my fatigue."
"Take another cucumber." Lu Hu said.
"I know."
Lu Hu glanced at her and said, "Where's my dear girl?"
"I took the little loach out to play," Mrs. Lu said.
Little Loach is the little maid of the Lu family. She was named this because she looks a bit dark. There is also a little maid named Pingguo.
While having dinner, Mrs. Lu noticed that her husband was in a low mood and had been drinking heavily.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"Don't worry about the house arrest," Lu Hu said.
After hearing what her husband said, Mrs. Lu stopped asking and turned to educate her daughter who was unwilling to eat green peppers.
Lu Hu felt a little melancholy.
Or maybe I'm a little nervous.
He didn't know what his behavior of turning around and informing the Japanese would bring.
It's not guilt and uneasiness, it's nervousness.
More than four years ago, when Cheng Qianfan just graduated from the police academy and came to the third patrol of the Central Patrol Room, Lu Hu was already an inspector.
It can be said that he has truly witnessed Cheng Qianfan step by step from an ordinary patrolman to the position of deputy chief inspector of the Central Patrol Room.
Lu Hu knew best how powerful the young Vice President Cheng actually was and how terrifying Cheng Qianfan was.
Many people think that Mr. Cheng’s greatness lies in his position as Deputy Chief Inspector of the Central Patrol Room, which is superficial!
Lu Hu knew very well that Cheng Qianfan's current power and status were indeed based on his position as deputy chief inspector of the Central Patrol Room. However, Cheng Qianfan's power at this time was far beyond the influence of the patrol room.
Let’s put it this way, even if Cheng Qianfan is no longer Vice President Cheng, ‘Mr. Little Cheng’ is still ‘Mr. Little Cheng’. There is still a place for Cheng Qianfan in the French Concession and in Shanghai.
Therefore, Lu Hu was afraid. He didn't know what the consequences would be if he chose to betray Cheng Qianfan.
Yes, he had been coerced and lured by the Japanese before and finally defected to the Japanese. However, Lu Hu did not think that he had betrayed Cheng Qianfan:
Xiao Cheng himself has always been very close to Japanese people.
This time was different. He took Cheng Qianfan's order in person and sold Cheng Qianfan to the Japanese.
This is Chi Luo Luo's betrayal.
Cheng Qianfan wanted to kill Tsubasa Naito. Lu Hu secretly speculated and believed that there were probably three situations:
Cheng Qianfan had something to do with the Anti-Japanese War, and the removal of Naito was inextricably linked to the Anti-Japanese War.
This situation is what Datulu is looking forward to most.
If this is the case, the Japanese will definitely not be able to tolerate Cheng Qianfan.
Who is the boss in Shanghai now?
Of course he is Japanese.
Cheng Qianfan, who is suspected of resisting Japan, will definitely not have a good outcome.
In this way, not only does he not have to worry about Cheng Qianfan's retaliation, but once Cheng Qianfan is eliminated by the Japanese, and the Japanese need to continue to maintain control within the patrol house in the French Concession, then he, Da Toulu, is the perfect candidate to succeed Cheng Qianfan.
Deputy Inspector General Lu?
Deputy Chief Inspector Lu!
Datulu couldn't help but breathe quickly just thinking about this title.
In the second case, Cheng Qianfan and Naito Tsubasa have a personal grudge.
Under such circumstances, Lu Hu also did not think that the Japanese would let Cheng Qianfan go.
It is true that Cheng Qianfan has a good relationship with the Japanese, but no matter how good the relationship is, the Japanese will not tolerate Cheng Qianfan doing anything to the Japanese, not to mention that Naito Tsubasa is still a diplomat.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Cheng Qianfan has a slight chance of settling this matter. After all, Lu Hu knows that Cheng Qianfan's Jiujiu Trading seems to have a stake in a certain big shot in Japan.
The last situation.
Cheng Qianfan took action against Naito Tsubasa, not to mention whether there were other personal grudges involved, but there was a hidden secret——
The hidden secret is that it is actually an internal struggle among the Japanese. Some Japanese want to get rid of Naito, but they cannot do it themselves, so they choose to find Cheng Qianfan to do it.
If this is the case, this is what Da Toulu is most worried about.
This shows that Cheng Qianfan not only will not offend the Japanese because of this matter, but also shows that Cheng Qianfan is deeply trusted by the Japanese.
In this case, once the news of his betrayal of Cheng Qianfan leaked out, Lu Hu had no doubt that Cheng Qianfan would kill him.
At this moment, the phone at home rang.
The little maid Pingguo answered the phone, then covered the phone and said, "Sir, a boss Huang is here to see you."
Da Toulu's face changed slightly, he put down Kuai Zi and quickly answered the phone.
…
after an hour.
Trasto Road, Telford Hotel.
Lu Hu stood respectfully and listened to Araki Harima's instructions.
"Cheng Qianfan wants to kill Naito, just obey his orders," Araki Harima said.
"Mr. Araki, Naito is..." Otoro's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that the situation he was most worried about may have occurred.
"Don't ask so much, just follow orders." Araki Harima said calmly.
"Mr. Araki, it's not that I'm nagging, it's just that this incident is too shocking." Lu Hu smiled bitterly, "This is the man who killed the Japanese Empire."
"Cheng Qianfan should have just been entrusted by others." Araki Harima glanced at Lu Hu and said with a sneer, "Otherwise, how do you think he dared to attack the imperial diplomats?"
"I, I understand..." Da Toulu frowned and sighed in his heart.
This was the situation he was most worried about.
Seemingly sensing Otouro's worry, Araki Harima said, "You don't have to worry about anything."
He patted Da Toulu on the shoulder, "No one will know that you came to report this matter to me."
As he said that, Araki Harima gave Datoulu a smile on his face, "In fact, you knew that Cheng Qianfan was going to do something to the people of the empire, so I'm very happy to report it as soon as possible. It shows that you have great concern for the empire."
loyalty."
Hearing what Araki Harima said, the stone in Oturu's heart finally fell to the ground at this moment.
"Then I will report to the inspector tomorrow morning and prepare to take action." Datou Lu thought for a while and said.
"Oh?" Araki Harima looked surprised, "Have you figured out the whereabouts of Naito Tsubasa? Do you have a plan of action?"
"I have obtained exact information. Tsubasa Naito has been going to the TEDA Apartment on Xujiahui Road almost every day recently," Lu Hu said.
In the French Concession, the patrol office is a local snake, especially for senior police officers like Da Toulu, who have spent more than ten years climbing up the ranks step by step from the patrol. As long as they have determined the target, have a name, a surname, and a workplace, they can even master it.
It is not difficult to find out a person's whereabouts based on his appearance.
"TEDA Apartment?" Araki Harima looked thoughtful, "Are you planning to take action in the French Concession?"
"The French Concession is our territory, and it is cheapest to do it in the French Concession." Big Tou Lu Si thought, "However, the disadvantages are also obvious."
He polished Araki's cigarette with both hands, lit the cigarette, and continued, "The death that occurred in the French Concession, and involving diplomats from the Empire of Japan, is not a trivial matter."
Araki Harima nodded.
He chuckled lightly, "You report your action plan to Cheng Qianfan and let him choose."
With that said, Araki Harima patted Lu Hu on the shoulder, "In this case, you are just following orders. Even if something happens, Cheng Qianfan will be there to support you."
"Mr. Araki's opinion, this is indeed the truth." Datulu nodded happily.
Hearing what Araki Harima said and feeling Araki Harima's intention to protect him, Otoro finally felt completely at ease. He believed in Araki Harima's guarantee and believed that Araki Harima would not reveal his informant to Cheng Qianfan.
.
…
After Da Toulu left, the door to the inner room that had been closed opened and Cheng Qianfan walked out.
"Objectively speaking, Lu Hu is indeed a more capable person." Araki Harima said with a sigh.
Lu Hu was the detective in his hands, a deputy inspector of the French Concession, and he was quite capable. It was a pity for him to give up like this.
"The stronger the ability and the smarter, the greater the harm." Cheng Qianfan said with a cold snort.
"That's the truth." Araki Harima looked solemn and nodded.
Miyazaki-kun is right, the stronger Oturo is and the smarter he is, the more he deserves to die and must be silenced.
"You heard just now that Lu Hu was considering taking action in TEDA Apartment. What do you think?" Araki Harima asked.
Cheng Qianfan did not answer immediately, but lit a cigarette and smoked slowly, frowning and thinking.
"It is indeed a bit troublesome to take action in the French Concession." Cheng Qianfan said, "The main reason is the impact after the incident. An imperial diplomat was unfortunately killed in the French Concession. The empire is bound to put pressure on the French Concession. This will bring me
pressure."
As he spoke, there was light in Cheng Qianfan's eyes, "However, everything has its pros and cons. If I can resist the pressure from the empire with a strong attitude..."
"As far as the French Concession authorities are concerned, they are happy to see your tough attitude." Araki Harima took over and said, "You have always been very close to the empire, and the more so, your stance is firm at critical moments. The French are against
The better you feel."
Cheng Qianfan raised a smile and said, "That's true."
As he said that, he took a puff of his cigarette and said, "The most important thing is that I chose to do it in TEDA Apartment. This is my territory. I can control the matter in my hands. Even if there are some omissions, I can make up for it in time."
Araki Harima nodded. What Miyazaki-kun said is also very important. This matter must not involve Miyazaki-kun, him, or the special high school class.
Yes, even some people may guess that Naito Tsubasa's death is related to Miyazaki-kun because Naito Tsubasa is currently investigating Miyazaki-kun.
But, evidence!
Need evidence!
Miyazaki-kun is not an ordinary person. This does not refer to his power and status in the French Concession Patrol House. If it is really just a Chinese deputy chief inspector of the French Concession Patrol House who killed Naito Kotsubo, this seemingly Xuanhe identity is not at all
The empire will be in the eyes of the empire, and the empire will take a series of oppressive actions to force the French Concession authorities to make concessions, and will inevitably require the French Concession authorities to hand over the murderer.
However, Miyazaki-kun is different.
Hyōtaro Imamura told Tsubasa Naito that he had sent people to secretly follow Miyazaki-kun, which in itself was an expression of attitude.
As for the section chief, the section chief sent him to discuss with Miyazaki-kun. What were they discussing? Wasn't it just to discuss getting rid of Naito Kotsubo?
Miyazaki-kun has long had murderous intentions towards Tsubasa Naito, but what about the section chief? Naito reported to the Military Police Headquarters that Special High School Agent Kentaro Miyazaki has a problem, how could the section chief not have a grudge in his heart?
For various reasons, Araki Harima even had an intuition that the section chief might not be inferior to Miyazaki-kun in his desire to kill Naito.
Therefore, Miyazaki-kun has the secret endorsement of Hyōtaro Imamura and the section chief. Even if the empire exerts pressure, it will not cause substantial harm to Miyazaki-kun without evidence:
In the death of Naito Tsubasa, the Consulate General is the culprit, Counselor Imamura is Naito’s immediate superior, and the Special High School Division is the investigative agency... As for the Military Police Headquarters? Kawada Atsuto of the Military Police Headquarters is a good friend of Miyazaki-kun, and Kawada Atsuto is
A close confidant of Commander Ikeuchi, Counselor Imamura and Commander Ikeuchi are good friends.
Thinking of this, Araki Harima shook his head and clicked his tongue:
Tsubasa Naito really deserves to die.
…
The next day.
No. 22, Xue Huali Road.
Datou Lu held an aluminum lunch box in his hand and knocked on the door of Vice President Cheng's office with a smile.
"Inspector, please try the glutinous rice cake made by my mother-in-law." Datou Lu handed over the aluminum lunch box.
"I have long heard that my sister-in-law is good at cooking. I must try this." Cheng Qianfan chuckled and watched Datou Lu open the lunch box. He pinched a glutinous rice cake and stuffed it into his mouth. Then his eyes lit up and he was full of praise.
"Not bad, the heat is just right."
"Inspector, the whereabouts of Naito Tsubasa have been found." Oturu said with a smile.
"Oh?" Cheng Qianfan ate another glutinous rice cake, then took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, "Tell me and listen."
Daturu then explained in detail the information he had gathered.
"TEDA Apartment." Cheng Qianfan looked thoughtful, then snorted coldly, "I know how to hide it."
He glanced at Da Toulu and said, "Tell me about your plan."
Da Toulu thought for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, and then stated his plan in a serious manner.
"Naito Tsubasa usually stays in the public concessions, mainly in the Hongkou District. It is Japanese territory and it is extremely difficult to take action."
He glanced at Cheng Qianfan and said, "The TEDA Apartment is our territory, so it's easy to do anything. But if Naito dies like this... it will be very troublesome."
Cheng Qianfan pressed his hand and signaled Da Toulu to shut up and think carefully.
Mr. Cheng's expression changed continuously. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's do it in TEDA Apartment."
Seeing Lu Hu's worried expression, he comforted his men and said, "Don't worry, Naito deserves to die. Someone will be responsible for Naito's death."
Hearing what Cheng Qianfan said, Lu Hu looked relieved and asked, "Then, when will we do it? Today?"
"The rush is tight over there." Cheng Qianfan showed a meaningful expression and said to Datoulu, "The weather is good today, let's send Mr. Naito on his way."
Datulu glanced out the window. Dark clouds were approaching, and a heavy rain seemed likely to hit at any time...
