About a quarter of an hour later, 'Ms. Xiao Cheng', escorted by his trusted bodyguards, left in a special car.
The little maid Li Zi, who was resting in the guest room on the first floor, woke up and glanced outside. She happened to see the tail lights of a vehicle leaving the window.
Vehicles speed through the night.
Cheng Qianfan sat in the back seat, looking thoughtfully out of the car window, where heavy autumn rain was falling.
This is already the second year after the fall of Shanghai, twenty-five months to be exact.
His feeling is that autumn and winter in Shanghai are getting colder every year.
Li Hao rolled down the window and handed his ID to the sentry at the Special Higher Education Course.
This certificate is the pass issued by Araki Harima to Mr. Cheng Qianfan, deputy chief inspector of the Central District Patrol Room of the French Concession.
The Japanese soldier at the sentry post picked up the certificate. This was a routine inspection. Whether it was the license plate of Cheng Qianfan's car or the appearance of the driver Li Hao, the sentry post remembered it.
The soldier skillfully put away the "Jiujiu Trading" voucher contained in the certificate, politely handed the certificate back, looked down at Cheng Qianfan in the back seat, and made a gesture to invite him in.
"Wait for me in the car and don't walk around casually." Cheng Qianfan warned Li Hao.
"I got it, Brother Fan."
Cheng Qianfan carried the red wine gift box, held up a black umbrella, and submerged himself into the long autumn rain.
In a room on the second floor of the Special Higher Education Course, Chikita Haraji stood by the window sill. He lifted a corner of the curtain with one hand and looked at the street lights in the yard. Amidst the raindrops flying all over the sky, this man was holding on for a long time.
Grabbing an umbrella, I hurriedly walked up the steps.
"What's he doing here so late?" Chikitaharaji frowned slightly and said softly.
"Who?" a voice sounded in the room.
"Cheng Qianfan from the patrol house in the central area of the French Concession." Chikitaharaji replied, with a hint of contempt on his lips, "You should have heard of him. This man also had an imperial name called Miyazaki Kazuo."
"It's him..." Eguchi Hide also nodded, "We've met him several times, but we're just not very familiar with him."
Chikitaharaji looked at Eguchi Hideya. If he remembered correctly, he saw a summary from the archives of the Super High School. When the imperial army attacked Shanghai, Eguchi Hide also collaborated with Cheng Qianfan.
, Cheng Qianfan helped Eguchi Hideya to bribe a public concession patrol house inspector named Lili, and helped the Locust Army soldiers secretly establish a forward stronghold in Zhabei District.
Therefore, Eguchi Hide also said that he was not familiar with Cheng Qianfan, which is untrue.
However, it doesn't matter.
His purpose of befriending Eguchi Hideya was not simple. To be precise, after meeting Eguchi Hideya's wife Yuki Naiko, Chikitaharaji recognized Eguchi Hideya as his friend.
"When will Eguchi-kun return to Nanjing?" Chikitaharaji asked.
"If everything goes well, we will return to Nanjing in a few days." Eguchi Hideya said.
"Are you going to move when you return to Nanjing this time?" Chikitaharaji said with a smile, "Don't forget to let me know then. I will carry it out for Eguchi-kun."
"Next time," Eguchi Hideya said, "I'm busy with official duties, coming and going in a hurry, and I have no plans to move yet."
As he spoke, a happy smile appeared on his face, "My wife is relatively familiar with life in Shanghai."
"I miss life in Manchuria even more." Chikitaharaji said with a wry smile, "It rains too much in Shanghai. It's not like Manchuria. At this time, there are already snowflakes falling."
…
The torture room of the Special High School.
Araki Harima angrily picked up the red-hot iron and pressed it firmly on Quan Lin's chest, which was no longer human.
The shrill screams were followed by silence.
"Captain, the prisoner passed out again." Gongbao Yilang put his finger under the tip of Quan Lin's nose to confirm that he was still breathing, and said with a sigh of relief.
"Wake him up." Araki Harima said gloomily.
He personally interrogated this member of the Shanghai Special Intelligence Team and had already tortured him for half a day. In order to pry Quan Lin's mouth open as soon as possible, Araki Harima did not care at all that this person had already been brutally tortured in the torture room No. 76.
Immediately used severe punishment.
However, this young Chinese man's willpower was amazing, and he withstood the brutal punishments one after another.
At this moment, the bell of the torture chamber rang.
An agent quickly ran behind the door of the torture chamber and picked up the rubber intercom receiver.
"Captain, Cheng Qianfan from the patrol room wants to see you."
Araki Harima was a little surprised. Why did Miyazaki-kun come to him so late? Did something happen?
"Invite him in." Araki Harima said.
"Hai." His subordinates were not surprised. The captain had great trust in the French Concession's "Mr. Xiao Cheng" who had already given the imperial name of "Miyazaki Kazuo". This was no secret within the Super High School.
The heavy iron door was pushed open, and Cheng Qianfan walked down the steps. The thick smell of blood mixed with the smell of burning entered his nose. He couldn't help but take out a handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose.
"Keep the palace in reserve, let the others go out." Araki Harima said in a deep voice.
"Hai!" Except for Gong Bao Yilang, several other torture agents left the torture room one after another.
…
"Miyazaki-kun, how long has it been since you personally tortured me?" Araki Harima teased his friend, "You actually dislike such a charming taste?"
Cheng Qianfan handed a cigarette to Araki Harima. He held a cigarette in his mouth, took out a lighter and lit it, then handed the lighter to Araki Harima. He took several puffs in succession, and then he felt better.
He ignored Araki Harima's teasing, glanced at the bloody man on the torture rack, and asked with a smile, "What's the origin?"
"People from Xiao Mian," Araki Harima said, "from the Shanghai Special Situation Group."
"Xiao Mian's person?" Cheng Qianfan showed a shocked expression, with a hint of interest at the same time.
His surprise was not fake, he really didn't know that the bloody man in front of him turned out to be a member of the Shanghai special case team.
In other words, he had no way of judging whether this person was his subordinate.
For reasons of confidentiality and safety, Cheng Qianfan basically only communicates with important subordinates such as Qiao Chuntao and Wu Shunjia. He avoids meeting lower-level front-line personnel.
"Just caught him? Open your eyes and let me take a look." Cheng Qianfan walked up to the bloody prisoner. He wiped the prisoner's swollen face with the white handkerchief in his hand, and then saw one of the prisoner's eye sockets.
It was empty, and the eyeballs had been gouged out. The eyeballs of the other cigarette were also swollen and bleeding due to severe torture.
Cheng Qianfan's heart skipped a beat, and he smiled at Araki Harima, "Araki-kun did it himself?"
"It was handed over from Jisi Feier Road." Araki Harima said, "This person's name is Quan Lin. He is an operator of the Shanghai Special Intelligence Team. In the last battle where Xiao Mian led people to rescue Sheng Shuyu, he was killed by Seventy-Six
Captured."
"Were they arrested at that time?" Cheng Qianfan was surprised, "That's not right. I read the newspaper later, which said that the Chongqing elements were completely wiped out and all were killed."
"I just learned about the real situation." Araki Harima took a puff from his cigarette and motioned for his friend to sit down and talk, "At that time, two operators of the Shanghai Special Intelligence Group were seriously injured but survived. The special agent headquarters rescued the two seriously injured people, but
They claimed to have killed all of them."
After a pause, Araki Harima said, "It is said that this is Su Chende's plan."
"This strategy..." Cheng Qianfan thought and nodded, "It is indeed beautiful. This Su Chende does have some abilities."
He glanced at the tortured subordinates, and felt as if he was being cut by a knife, but a faint smoke came out of his nose, and he said lightly, "Is this man incapable of doing anything?"
As he spoke, he frowned slightly, "Did we make a mistake in our previous judgment? Was it the other person who confessed to the little Taoist priest?"
"None of them." Araki Harima shook his head.
He pulled his friend aside to avoid the prisoner, and told Kentaro Miyazaki that Su Chende deliberately set up a trap. First, he took some words from Quanda's mouth, and after Quanda committed suicide, he used the information he had
The information and photos easily convinced Quan Lin that his uncle Quanda had defected to the Locust Army.
At the same time, he used a woman who took care of Quan Lin to get the name "Little Taoist" from Quan Lin's unintentional words.
And then, using the name "Little Taoist" as a clue, he successfully captured "Little Taoist", an important member of the Shanghai special situation team.
Cheng Qianfan was surprised, or rather shocked.
Based on various relevant intelligence, his previous judgment was that some operatives were arrested during the operation to rescue Sheng Shuyu, and then someone rebelled and betrayed the little Taoist priest, which led to the exposure and arrest of the 'little Taoist priest'.
He never expected that the truth of the matter would be like this.
The two brothers who were seriously injured and captured, Quanda and Quan Lin, did not rebel. Quanda committed suicide and died for his country. Quan Lin also never betrayed. It was just because he was young and had little experience in fighting that Su Chende took advantage of him. From his few words,
The situation of the 'little Taoist priest' was obtained, and eventually led to the arrest of the 'little Taoist priest'.
Quan Lin's naivety and stupidity led to the arrest of the 'little Taoist priest'. This was a crime that could threaten the safety of the entire Shanghai special situation team, which made Cheng Qianfan extremely angry.
However, young Quan Lin, who suffered successive inhumane tortures from No. 76 and the Extra High School Class, remained unyielding and never confessed a single word. This tenacious will and this loyalty to the country and nation made Cheng
Qian Fan couldn't help but feel moved in her heart.
…
"So, this person is just a minion from the Shanghai Special Investigation Team?" Cheng Qianfan walked back to Quan Lin. He looked at this brother who looked like a broken gourd of blood, shook his head, and said a little.
Said disappointedly.
"Even if he is just a little guy, this person should have information that is useful to us." Araki Harima said seriously, "Don't forget, this Quan Lin just said 'little Taoist priest' unintentionally and helped Su Chende and the others catch him.
There are people living there.”
"That makes sense." Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly, "We know very little about Xiao Mian and the Shanghai Special Situation Team. It will be useful to have more information."
As he spoke, he showed a probing look, "Araki-kun, have you been able to confirm that the 'little Taoist priest' was kidnapped by the military commander?"
He said this sentence in Japanese.
Araki Harima heard Miyazaki Kentaro suddenly speak in his native language. After hearing these words clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief and also praised his friend's vigilance, because the content contained in this sentence really should not be
It was not allowed to be heard by the prisoners, just as he had just told Kentaro Miyazaki how Su Chende had set a trap to extract words from Quan Lin, and he had gone far to avoid Quan Lin.
"Although there is no direct evidence yet," Araki Harima said, "but both the section chief and Jisi Feieru are inclined to believe that it was the military commander, or to be more precise, it was none other than the Shanghai Special Intelligence Team.
.”
Araki Harima said and sighed. He was very dissatisfied. Such an important prisoner was actually kidnapped. Our side did not capture a single prisoner. There was no direct evidence of who the other party was. He could only rely on
Inferential analysis.
At this moment, Araki Harima did not notice that the whole forest, with his head drooped and blood dripping down his cheeks, seemed to be moving.
…
Cheng Qianfan happened to raise his head and puff out the mist. He noticed this detail and sighed inwardly while remaining calm.
When he learned from Araki Harima that the name of the brother who was tortured and tortured was Quan Lin, Cheng Qianfan had a plan in mind:
He knew Quan Lin and his uncle Quanda.
Team leader "Xiao Mian" has never met these brothers, but the names of each of them are in his mind.
In addition, through Qiao Chuntao, Xiao Taoist, Jiang Mulezi and others, Cheng Qianfan also learned and mastered more about these brothers.
For example, he knew that Quanda and Quan Lin were uncle and nephew.
He knew that Quanda had attended a private school and his handwriting was very beautiful. In fact, he was a very knowledgeable man who had faced a national crisis and devoted himself to serving the country by joining the army.
He also knew that Quan Lin was a passionate young man with great anti-Japanese enthusiasm and was very eager to learn. He thought that speaking Japanese would be helpful in the anti-Japanese movement, so he taught himself Japanese. Quan Lin, who was quite talented in language, quickly mastered it.
I learned daily Japanese and even started to try reading Japanese.
This is the reason why Cheng Qianfan deliberately and alertly asked Araki Harima in Japanese. His intention was to be "accidentally" heard by Quan Lin in this way and let Quan Lin know that the leader of their second action team, the "Little Taoist Priest"
'Has been rescued by the brothers.
The only thing he was worried about was that Quan Lin didn't have enough Japanese vocabulary, or that he just couldn't understand some of the Japanese in his sentence. Fortunately, Quan Lin's subtle movements let him know, and Quan Lin understood.
For Quan Lin, his immaturity and stupidity led to the arrest of the team leader "Little Taoist" by the enemy. This must be the biggest pain in the heart of this strong anti-Japanese warrior.
Now that Quan Lin knows that the 'little Taoist priest' has been rescued, this is the greatest comfort in his heart, or it is enough to comfort him!
Cheng Qianfan grabbed Quan Lin's blood-stained hair, and squeezed out a cold smile on his cold face, "You are just a little guy, let's talk about it, money, women, what?
All your requirements can be met.”
Quan Lin tried his best to open his swollen and bloodshot eyeballs, and his hollowed-out eye sockets seemed to be staring at the traitor in front of him.
The corner of his mouth raised into a smile.
It seems so.
Because the whole person is as bloody as a gourd, even if he is smiling, it cannot be seen clearly.
However, Cheng Qianfan could feel the contempt.
Pooh!
He spit out a mouthful of blood on Cheng Qianfan's face.
"Dog traitor!!!"
