His team leader Xiao Mian personally sent him on his way.
Cheng Qianfan's heart was also severely cut.
He just stood in the woods, smoking a cigarette, chatting and laughing with Araki Harima, pointing to the newly added grave soil, his voice was filled with joy, and he was very satisfied with his new work.
He flicked the ash from his cigarette and it fell sadly.
Cheng Qianfan felt that he would definitely go to the eighteenth level of hell in the future.
At noon that day, Cheng Qianfan and Araki Harima were drinking Osaka sake. He stared at the wine in the glass and seemed to see the smile in Quan Lin's empty eyes.
Mr. Cheng's car was speeding down the streets of the French Concession, with bodyguard vehicles roaring in front and behind him. People along the way were running away in panic, cursing in their hearts.
He did not return to the Central Patrol Room at No. 22, Xue Huali Road. The vehicle drove directly back to Cheng Mansion on Lafayette Road.
Go upstairs.
Cheng Qianfan stood there and saw his wife sitting on the sofa, knitting a sweater, and little Sesame sleeping happily in the cradle.
He just stood there for a long time, looking at his wife and children.
The sun shines through the glass window and shines on Bai Ruolan and Xiao Zhizhi. Everything is so quiet and beautiful.
Bai Ruolan raised her head and saw her quiet husband.
Cheng Qianfan smiled at his wife.
"What's wrong?" Bai Ruolan put down the wool and needles in her hands and asked softly.
Cheng Qianfan still had a smile on his face. He shook his head gently to indicate that he was fine.
Bai Ruolan was so familiar with her lover that she understood the desolation and deathly silence behind her husband's smile.
She didn't know what happened, her heart was so painful, and she felt distressed.
Bai Ruolan stood up and walked towards her husband.
At this moment, her husband, who was leaning against the door with a smile on his face, seemed so lonely, weak and helpless in her eyes.
Bai Ruolan didn't ask any more questions or speak. She opened her arms and hugged her husband gently.
Then, she was hugged tightly and forcefully by Cheng Qianfan.
"Ruolan." Cheng Qianfan murmured in a low voice.
"Um."
"I will go to hell in the future."
"I'll be with you."
Cheng Qianfan stopped talking. He lowered his head and buried his head in his wife's hair.
It took a while.
He gently kissed his wife's forehead, still with a smile on his face, "I'm fine."
"Yes." Bai Ruolan smiled, and the sun shone down. Her smile seemed to be a good medicine that could cure all the sadness in the world.
Cheng Qianfan also smiled and said, "I'm going to get busy."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Bai Ruolan watched her husband's back disappear at the stairs of the corridor. Tears slid down her delicate cheeks and fell to the floor. Her shoulders were already wet.
She didn't know what happened, but she understood him.
Because I understand, she is so distressed.
…
The policemen in the central patrol room were all discussing and speculating that Xiao Cheng had acquired another beauty or made another fortune.
Because the gramophone in the deputy chief inspector's office was playing cheerful music.
When passing by the door of the office, one could still hear the sound of Vice President Cheng humming a tune from behind the ajar door.
This humming tune is also so cheerful.
"Brother Haozi."
"Brother Haozi."
The patrol officers along the way also smiled and greeted Li Hao.
Li Hao came to the door of the deputy chief inspector's office. Hearing the cheerful noises coming from inside, he smiled and knocked on the door.
"Brother Fan, it's me. I have something to report to you."
"Come in." Brother Fan's voice came from inside, "Close the door."
"yes."
…
"Brother Fan, we found something." Li Hao reported.
"explain."
"Yesterday at noon, there was a cheating incident at Guangming Cafe. A foreigner cheated on a man." Li Hao said, "The man was extorted a sum of money."
Cheng Qianfan crossed his legs and played with a jade bracelet in his hand, signaling Haozi to continue.
"Those three hands were taken away, it is said that someone stole the wallets of onlookers." Li Hao said.
"No." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "If it was just because three hands stole the wallet, all it takes is a word from Lao Ke to get the wallet back, or even better, it would be enough for Lao Ke to just grab the unlucky three hands and hand it over.
Already."
He frowned and said, "There is no need to grab all three hands on Jing'an Temple Road in such a big way."
"Brother Fan, you mean, as you guessed before, that someone wants to question those three hands and get information?" Li Hao thought.
Cheng Qianfan said nothing, and his fingers slowly turned around the jade bracelet in his hand, "However, one thing is certain, this matter is inseparably related to the man who stole the wallet of the onlooker."
This was a bit convoluted, and Li Hao was a little confused.
Cheng Qianfan stood up, walked around the desk, and walked back and forth, the jade bracelet in his hand speeding up.
"The other party should be paying attention to the man who was touched." He said thoughtfully, "The reason why the three-handed man was arrested is because he is also one of the onlookers."
He stopped and asked Li Hao, "How much money was extorted from the man who was cheated?"
"A lot." Li Hao thought for a while and said, "I don't know the exact amount. I just know that a wad of banknotes in the wallet were given out."
"That's right." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "This unlucky guy who was blackmailed is obviously a fat sheep. The three hands have sharp eyes and it's impossible not to keep an eye on him."
He said to Li Hao, "It's just that this person was targeted by the foreigners who touched the porcelain first, so the three hands could only choose one person to attack while the crowd was busy watching."
"I understand." Li Hao's eyes lit up, "Because the Three Hands had also targeted that person before, that's why the Three Hands were captured. Someone wants to know from him what he saw and what he heard."
"Go and check," Cheng Qianfan said, "check what the man who was raped was doing at the time."
He thought and said, "I guess this person is going to Guangming Cafe, but he was suddenly cheated, and then this person was extorted money..."
Cheng Qianfan frowned, "Let's check whether the man who was raped was originally going to the cafe, but then left directly because of this incident without going to the cafe."
"I know this." Li Hao said, "Although I don't know if that person was originally going to the cafe, but he did leave directly after being touched."
After listening to Li Hao's words, Cheng Qianfan did not speak immediately.
He walked back to the swivel chair behind the desk and sat down. His body slowly turned on the swivel chair. He put the jade bracelet in his hand back on the desk. He held a gold lighter in his hand and lit it on fire again and again, and then
Throw the machine cover again to put out the flames, then start the fire again, and repeat.
At the ticket office of the Grand Guangming Theater, that person from the Shanghai District who was under military control.
At the entrance of Guangming Cafe, the man who was touched then left.
Three hands on Jing'an Temple Road were suddenly secretly taken away for questioning.
Cheng Qianfan judged that there must be some connection between them.
No matter what kind of connection it was, his intuition told him that this matter must be related to the military reunification of Shanghai District.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Cheng Qianfan's mind. He vaguely captured the most critical line, and then he just lifted it up, and this seemingly messy thread was lifted up and kept.
The military personnel from Shanghai District in front of the Grand Guangming Theater may have made an appointment with someone to meet secretly at the Guangming Cafe.
The contact person may be the man who was raped by the foreigner.
This person did not go to the coffee shop to keep his appointment because of the unexpected situation of being touched, perhaps out of caution, or perhaps for some other reason.
All in all, this secret connection in Shanghai did not succeed.
Cheng Qianfan thought.
It was the people from the Shanghai District under the military command who captured those three hands. What did they want to interrogate?
Cheng Qianfan shook his head.
He doesn't think this is the case.
If the failure of the joint was just due to the accident of touching porcelain, Shanghai District does not need and should not arrest the three hands for questioning. This will only alert the snake and is a stupid behavior.
Then, he thought about what Xiao Qiuqiu said, that Lao Ke’s new backer is ‘Boss Dong’.
Recalling that he had previously suspected that this 'Boss Dong' was Dong Zhengguo from the Secret Service Headquarters.
Then, Cheng Qianfan had a clearer guess in his mind, which was also the most likely possibility based on the combination of these clues:
People from Juntong Shanghai District made an appointment to meet secretly at Guangming Cafe.
However, this secret connection has already been mastered by No. 76. From this, it can be inferred that the secret agent headquarters has set up an ambush at Guangming Cafe.
However, due to the porcelain incident outside Guangming Cafe, the other party who was going to meet at the cafe suddenly decided not to make the appointment.
As a result, this secret connection in Shanghai was unsuccessful.
So, who is the most anxious about this?
It wasn't just the person from Shanghai who was at the box office of Guangming Grand Theater preparing to meet at the coffee shop, but the one who was even more anxious was probably Personnel No. 76 who was setting up an ambush.
No. 76 is the most anxious to find out what happened!
So, the porcelain incident outside the Guangming Cafe is obviously the focus of the investigation by No. 76!
There was a click.
Cheng Qianfan closed the lighter cover, and such a closed-loop thinking had formed in his mind!
Now, to confirm your guess, you can verify it through one thing!
"Contact Weimiri Grocery Store immediately." Cheng Qianfan said, "Ask them if they arrested a foreigner yesterday or today on the 76th."
"Yes!" Li Hao nodded, turned around and left.
…
Weimin General Store, this is a general store on Jisi Feier Road.
There used to be a Fang Yun grocery store on Jisi Feier Road.
Shan Fangyun, the owner of Fangyun Sundry Shop, was captured by No. 76 and died soon after on No. 76. Xiao Ke, the boy at the Sundry Shop, was later said to have been adopted by No. 76 Team Leader Tong Xueyong.
The Fangyun General Store was also abandoned, and a bookstore was later opened there.
Not long after that, another grocery store for the people was opened on Jisi Feier Road. This grocery store was secretly opened by the Shanghai Special Agents Group.
Today, the grocery store never participates in any operations, and there is no need to specially monitor Jisi Feier Road. His role is to stay there!
Yes, the purpose of the Weimin Daily Grocery Store is to open there and never take the initiative to contact and report to the peak.
Unless the special situation team sends someone to contact them when necessary to ask about some information that does not require special surveillance, the special situation team personnel of the grocery store only need to tell the truth.
About an hour later, a man smelling of alcohol and belching went into the Weiminri grocery store to buy cigarettes.
"Shopkeeper, here's a pack of golden cigarettes." The man's mouth smelled of alcohol.
The shopkeeper had just taken a pack of Golden Cigarettes when he heard the man say, "Forget it, let's get a pack of Xia Nu brand cigarettes."
"Sir, Fairy Brand cigarettes are smoked by ladies." the shopkeeper kindly reminded me.
"Si Na Niang, I think Allah doesn't know." The man cursed in half-baked Shanghainese dialect, muttering in his mouth, maybe I only have the money, but the damn girl wants to smoke too, and if she wants to smoke, I still have to smoke.
Some people smoke and so on.
"Sir, do you want to buy some loose cigarettes?" The shopkeeper didn't get angry even after being scolded, and said calmly, "How about some Golden cigarettes or some Fairy cigarettes?"
"A pack of Fairy cigarettes!" the man said angrily, then gritted his teeth and said, "Another golden cigarette."
The shopkeeper glanced at the man, as if he didn't expect this man to buy it like this.
He lowered his voice and leaned forward, "Sir, I have fake Fairy cards here. You can buy a few more golden cigarettes, do you want them?"
"Have any foreigners been caught in the store yesterday and today?" the man asked in a low voice, looking cash-strapped.
"Yes, yesterday afternoon." The shopkeeper looked outside with vigilance and nodded, "A foreigner was arrested and cursed at the door. After a few slaps, he became honest."
"A pack of Fairy brand cigarettes and a golden cigarette." The man gritted his teeth and muttered, "Don't harm me, the shopkeeper. That girl is a long-time smoker. Don't even think about lying to her."
After paying for the cigarettes, he put a pack of Fairy brand cigarettes into his pocket, and impatiently put the golden cigarette into his mouth. He couldn't wait to light a match and took a puff of the cigarette. The man
Left in a hurry.
"Bah." The shopkeeper spat, "Coward."
…
Gui Qian used the iron to help her husband iron his suit.
She helped her husband put on his suit jacket, and then thoughtfully helped Cheng Xuyuan stretch the legs of his trousers.
Cheng Xuyuan took a black hat from his daughter's hand and praised her for being sensible.
The five-year-old boy heard his sister being praised, so he took his little woolen hat and handed it to his father.
Cheng Xuyuan was amused by his son and laughed loudly. He put the little hat on his son and pinched his little face, "My little boy is also very good."
He then casually took a briefcase from his wife's hand.
"Okay, you're at home. I'll be back when I'm done." Cheng Xuyuan smiled at his wife and said.
"Abba, I want to eat fish." The daughter said with expectation.
"Okay." Cheng Xuyuan nodded happily, "My father came back from get off work and brought back a fish as long as this."
As he spoke, he gestured for a long, long fish.
After looking at his wife, daughter, and son, Cheng Xuyuan left the house without looking back.
Arriving at the entrance of the alley, he and one of his men nodded. They each reached out to hail a rickshaw, and soon disappeared into the long, narrow and distant street...
