"Has the news spread?" Cheng Qianfan was holding a kettle in his hand to water the flowers.
Outside the house is pouring cold rain, and inside, the delicate flower plants still need Mr. Xiao Cheng to water them.
"It's all spread." Li Hao nodded, "Everyone should have heard about the appearance of the 'Blood Bat' on Fansandu Road by now."
"Is there any movement?" Cheng Qianfan put down the kettle, picked up the flower pruning scissors, and cut off some branches and leaves.
"Some detectives from Mailan District are asking for information." Li Hao said, "It's Zeng Jie's people."
Cheng Qianfan nodded. He had heard of Zeng Jie and his name:
Previously, 'thugs' attacked Mailan Wharf, and the captain of Su Zhikang's third team, Yu Hanzhong, died in the battle. Zeng Jie, who was just an ordinary patrolman at the time, was shocked by the death of captain Yu Hanzhong and took action in anger.
Zeng Jie killed a "thug" wearing a Japanese military uniform in hand-to-hand combat. This move earned Zeng Jie the admiration of Shao Ermin, the chief inspector of the Mailan Police Station, and he began to rise to prominence.
The most important thing is that people have always praised Zeng Jie's righteous deeds of taking care of Yu Hanzhong's orphans and widowed mother.
The name of "Brother Yi Bo Yuntian Mailan Jie" is quite famous in the French Concession.
"Very good." Cheng Qianfan said, "Pay close attention to the situation on Fansan Crossing Road and be prepared to take action."
"Understood." Li Hao nodded. He glanced at Brother Fan and hesitated to speak.
"If you have anything to say, just say it." Cheng Qianfan said angrily.
"Brother Fan said, didn't I want to be the nanny over there..." Li Hao asked in confusion.
"Hao Zai told you?" Cheng Qianfan glared at Li Hao and said thoughtfully, "I have always had a bad impression of those idiots in Shanghai, but this Cheng Xuyuan is rare and good."
"Besides." He shook his head, "This is not to save him, but to make some moves. Whether Cheng Xuyuan can seize the opportunity to break out depends on his own rescue."
Li Hao nodded and smiled. He felt that Brother Fan had a hard mouth and a soft heart.
…
French Concession, Linhuai Road.
Kai Tai Apartment.
Hearing the sound of selling baked glutinous rice cakes coming from downstairs, Chen Gongshu stood at the window on the second floor. He raised the corner of the curtain and looked, and saw his subordinate Ai Mingren going to buy glutinous rice cakes and talking to Zuo Xiaoyan, who was selling roasted glutinous rice cakes.
sentence.
Chen Gongshu focused on whether there was any abnormality in the surroundings. He saw no strange people or strange things, and nodded.
After a while, Ai Mingren came back and knocked on the door.
"What did you find out?" Chen Gongshu took the baked glutinous rice cake handed over by Ai Mingren, took a bite, and asked quickly.
Cheng Xuyuan went to Robertson Road yesterday afternoon to meet with Wan Sanliang, the leader of the Fourth Operation Brigade, to get Geng Jiaji's photo, but he did not return all night.
Not only that, according to the report of the Second Operation Brigade, shots were fired on Robertson Road, and many people including Wu Bufei, an operator from the District Headquarters directly under the Second Operation Brigade, did not return. It is suspected that something may have happened to a few people.
After Chen Gongshu received the retribution, he was both shocked and panicked.
Cheng Xuyuan is the secretary of Shanghai District. If something happens to Cheng Xuyuan, especially if Cheng Xuyuan is arrested, or even punished but fails to rebel, it will be nothing less than a new disaster for the current Shanghai District.
Therefore, Chen Gongshu ordered the Second Operation Brigade and relevant traffic stations to fully investigate the whereabouts of Cheng Xuyuan and to find out what happened on Robertson Road.
For Chen Gongshu, the most direct action was to move from the district headquarters on Shanzhong Road and temporarily settle in the backup safe house in Kai Tai Apartment.
The address of Shanzhong Road was controlled by Cheng Xuyuan, so Chen Gongshu had to take action to prevent the worst case scenario.
"The news sent by 'Fig' shows that No. 76 is indeed continuing the search on Robertson Road and surrounding streets." Ai Mingren said, "The entire search operation started yesterday evening. Their arrest target was a man in a suit.
A man and a woman."
"Can 'Figs' be sure that the man they want to arrest is Cheng Xuyuan?" Chen Gongshu asked.
Ai Mingren shook his head, "Fig" was the insider who broke into No. 76 from the Shanghai District of the Military Command, but his identity was very ordinary and he was unable to find out more information.
"There is another woman," Chen Gongshu thought deeply. The more elusive he became, the more he felt that this woman was most likely Cheng Xuyuan's wife Gui Qian.
However, Cheng Xuyuan went to Robertson Road to meet Wan Sanliang. How could Gui Qian appear on Robertson Road?
Thinking of this, Chen Gongshu's expression darkened. Although Gui Qian was also from Shanghai, Gui Qian was not qualified to know such confidential matters.
It has long been heard that Cheng Xuyuan doted on his wife so much that he did not distinguish between public and private affairs, which is evident from this.
However, from these details, Chen Gongshu can further confirm that the man and woman being hunted by No. 76 are most likely Cheng Xuyuan and Gui Qian.
This made Chen Gongshu feel a little relieved even though he was angry.
The enemy's manhunt and siege is still continuing, which shows that Cheng Xuyuan and Gui Qian have not fallen into the enemy's hands yet.
"Zone." Ai Mingren said, "Zuo Xiaoyan also heard some news, I don't know if it's useful or not?"
"What's the news?" Chen Gongshu asked immediately.
"The 'Blood Bat', which has been making a lot of noise recently, was found operating on Fansandu Road." Ai Mingren said.
"The 'Blood Bat' is on Fansandu Road?" Chen Gongshu's eyes immediately lit up and he asked, "Where did you get the news?"
"The news has spread secretly." Ai Mingren said, "'Brother Jie' from the Mailan patrol house, the old man from the Xiafei patrol house, and their subordinates all appeared on Fansandu Road."
As he said that, Ai Mingren also clicked his tongue, "For the sake of the 20,000 silver oceans of red, these guys are like cats that smelled fishy smell, they all started to move."
The "Blood Bat" commits crimes frequently, and the crimes are huge. Among the many crimes committed by this person, the most eye-catching is the night robbery of the third concubine of Lei Qingren, a rich man in Qingyangli, by the "Blood Bat".
Among his belongings was the love-night pearl that Lei Qingren gave to this extremely favored third concubine.
This third aunt likes this night pearl the most. As the vice president of the Wenzhou Chamber of Commerce, Lei Qingren has a bad temper. This person directly offered 20,000 silver dollars in red, of which 15,000 silver dollars were the heads of the 'Blood Bats' and 5,000 silver dollars.
Silver Ocean is the night-bright pearl.
Moreover, in order to encourage the patrol room to investigate the case, Lei Qingren even announced that if the patrol room brought the 'Blood Bat' to justice, he would give an extra special reward of 10,000 silver dollars on top of the 20,000 silver dollars.
This matter has already spread both black and white in Shanghai, and this "blood bat" who has repeatedly committed crimes has long been transformed into a shining golden treasure in the eyes of people from all walks of life.
It is precisely for this reason that the news of the appearance of the 'Blood Bat' in Fansandu attracted Zeng Jie from Mailan Patrol Station and Lao Mao from Xiafei Patrol Station and other capable officers from each patrol station to lead people to and from Fansandu Road.
"Map." Chen Gongshu said in a deep voice.
Ai Mingren took out the map that was officially printed and sold by the French Concession and laid it flat on the table.
Chen Gongshu's eyes looked back and forth between Fansandu Road and Robertson Road, his eyes seemed to be shining with light.
"Fansandu Road borders Robertson Road." Chen Gongshu said, "Robertsheng Road was the focus of No. 76's raids, and Fansandu Road must be full of those gangsters."
"The patrol searching for the 'Blood Bat' on Fansandu Road will inevitably come into contact with the person No. 76, and the possibility of conflict is not even ruled out." He stared at the map and said.
"Zuo Zuo, what do you mean, we can take advantage of the chaos to rescue Secretary Cheng?" Ai Mingren immediately understood what Zuo Zuo meant and said, "Even if there is no conflict between them, we can still create conflicts and create chaos.
"
"Has that 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' from the Central Patrol Room ever appeared on Fansandu Road?" Chen Gongshu suddenly asked.
"I haven't heard about it yet." Ai Mingren shook his head, "The 'Blood Bat' appeared on Fansandu Road. It is said that the news came from the Mailan Patrol Room. This is a golden doll. It must not have spread to the Central District yet.
Over there."
"Cheng Qianfan will definitely know about this." Chen Gongshu shook his head and said, "This person is notoriously greedy for money. He has eyes and ears all over the French Concession. He cannot miss such a good thing."
As he said that, he chuckled, "Even if we missed it, we can still help this 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' for a while."
"What does Zuo Zuo mean?" Ai Mingren didn't understand, but he showed a half-understanding expression. He knew that Zuo Zuo liked this the most.
"Pass my order, the second operation team will send someone pretending to be Cheng Qianfan to enter Fansandu Road." Chen Gongshu said with a serious expression, "Under the guise of hunting for the 'blood bat', infiltrate into Robertson Road and find a way to rescue Secretary Cheng."
"yes!"
"Tell Ma Chang'an that they are members of 'Mr. Xiao Cheng', and 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' is bound to get this golden doll. None of them will give face to them or punish them." Chen Gongshu smiled slightly and said, "It's Qi.
On the 16th, I will stop 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' from getting rich, and I will definitely not tolerate it."
"I understand!" Ai Mingren's eyes lit up and he nodded hastily.
I really understand this, and I am even more impressed by the district leader's resourcefulness.
…
Gein Lane.
Chen Zhai.
Under the pavilion in the back garden.
Butler Liu Hong took a comfortable sip of hot tea and cursed in the direction of the front yard, "Er Mao, where did you die?"
"Here it comes, here it comes." Ermao, a half-grown child, came with a plate of cakes.
"Leave it alone." Liu Hong nodded and waved his hand towards Er Mao.
Ermao felt like he was being pardoned and ran away in a hurry.
He doesn't have the leisure and ease of Butler Liu. Although he likes to eat these delicious cakes, the cold wind blowing under the pavilion on a cold day, isn't this stupid?
Butler Liu looked at Er Mao's back and cursed with a smile, "You know the follicles."
However, it is cold after all, and this pavilion was originally designed to enjoy the cool air, so this is the wind outlet.
Soon, the hot tea was no longer warm, and the pastries were no longer warm and began to become cold and hard.
Butler Liu shook his head, as if reciting an ancient poem, and then finally couldn't bear the cold because of his old age, so he left in a hurry, leaving only half a cup of tea and most of the plate of pastries unpacked in the cold wind.
…
Fansandu Road.
"Brothers." Lu Jiufan was talking to the brothers, "We are all brothers, so Lu Laojiu won't hide them."
He glanced around at the brothers and said, "Even if the 'Blood Bat' turned the French Concession upside down, it wouldn't be a big deal. I don't need to say more about Brother Fan's intention of sending me to capture the 'Blood Bat'."
"know."
"Of course I know."
"We still don't know who Brother Fan is."
Lu Jiu smiled and glared at the guy who said, "Who is Brother Fan?" "Okay, since everyone knows, this is for the best."
His expression was serious, "Brother Fan has always been clear about rewards and punishments. If you do well, you will always be generous with rewards. If you do poorly, you have to consider whether it is a slap from Brother Fan."
"Brother Jiu, this is true. Brother Fan sent us here to give us a chance to make a fortune." Someone shouted.
Lu Jiufan liked hearing this and nodded, "So, brothers, without further ado, catch the 'blood bat' and Brother Fan will be rewarded heavily."
As he spoke, he looked around and lowered his voice, "If we can't catch them, those guys must not be caught either."
…
"How is it? Are you feeling better?" Cheng Xuyuan touched his wife's forehead and asked with concern.
Gui Qian's forehead felt a little hot, which was a sign of fever.
"I'm fine." Gui Qian gritted her teeth and insisted. She handed the cake in her hand to her husband, "Xuyuan, you can eat some too."
The half-pot of tea and most of the plate of pastries that Butler Liu had forgotten in the pavilion went into the cold and empty stomachs of her and her husband.
Although the tea is cold and the pastries are cold, I feel better after having food in my belly.
"Qianyun, you are still as careful as your hair." Cheng Xuyuan hugged his wife tightly and said in admiration.
The two of them soaked in the cold water and almost fainted.
At this time, they smelled the fragrance of cakes and cheered up tremblingly. The two of them looked eagerly at Butler Liu eating tea in the pavilion on the shore.
At this time, Gui Qian said softly, "There is hope."
Cheng Xuyuan was also an extremely smart man, and he quickly understood what his wife meant.
This pavilion is a wind outlet, and it’s raining and freezing. Who would have refreshments here?
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Butler Liu likes to recite poetry and compose poems, imitating the style of the ancients.
However, before leaving, Butler Liu chanted "Eight Thousand Miles of Road to Clouds and Moons".
How could Cheng Xuyuan not understand what this person meant?
Also, those bastards No. 76 who came to search last night didn't know what was going on in the backyard. How could the housekeeper not know what was going on inside?
Thinking about it, this man saw through the hiding place of the couple and felt sorry for the cold weather. After careful consideration, the old man came up with a way to help the couple.
The icy rain almost froze the couple. The half pot of herbal tea and half plate of leftover cakes made Cheng Xuyuan and Gui Qian feel warm in their chests.
…
"My name is Cheng Xuyuan, your name is Mrs. Cheng." A man was chattering in a Shikumen residence on Fansandu Road.
Next to him was a beautifully dressed woman. Biaji spit out a melon seed peel and said jokingly, "Watermelon peel, what are you talking about back and forth? I have already remembered it."
"You know nothing!" the man scolded the woman, "This is something Commander Tu personally told you. If you mess up, Commander Tu will kill you with one shot."
"Commander Mao Tutu." The woman sneered, "You are like a lame rabbit who has been chased away by that 'Mr. Little Cheng' a long time ago, so he can only dominate in front of us."
"I'll crush you to death, just like crushing an ant to death." The man glared at the woman.
At this moment, the door was pounded hard, "Open the door, open the door."
