Chapter 1279: Casting stones to ask for directions
Lure the snake out of its hole.
Or it can be described as "throwing stones to ask for directions".
This is the coping strategy Cheng Qianfan had in mind.
There was very little he could do to deal with this matter.
His intuition told him that this matter should be run by the Special High School Division, and the section chief Sanbonjiro should only be in charge. There is most likely someone else who is specifically responsible for this matter.
For Cheng Qianfan, he was more like a chess piece in the whole matter, and he had to report to Sanbonjiro in time for any minor issues. He himself did not have much initiative.
Under such circumstances, any unnecessary actions on his part may arouse suspicion.
Cheng Qianfan carefully considered his "role" in this matter, "helped" the military commander find Ren Anning, and then secretly executed him. Then Li Daitao was deadlocked and sent the fake Ren Anning out of Shanghai.
When analyzing the details further, his most important role in this matter is the first step:
Find Ren Anning.
According to Sanbonjiro's judgment, Ren Anning should be hiding in the concession, most likely in the French Concession.
Before the fall of Shanghai, there were 500,000 people in the French Concession. Now, if there are incomplete statistics, there are at least 800,000 people in the French Concession. It can be said that the French Concession is now overcrowded. If you want to find someone in the French Concession, you may even want to find someone who is hiding.
Man, this is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The occupied area of Shanghai's Huajie was ruled by the Japanese, and No. 76 was very popular on the Shanghai Bund. However, in the French Concession, it was still a 'French world' on the surface.
The French Concession Patrol House and various mixed forces control the crowded and chaotic French Concession. As the official violence agency of the French Concession, the Patrol House obviously plays a role that other forces cannot match.
The special role of the patrol house determines the importance of Cheng Qianfan, the deputy chief inspector of the most important patrol house in the French Concession. This is the fundamental reason why Sanbonjiro attaches great importance to 'Kentaro Miyazaki' - yes, the red wine gift box is just
It’s just the desire of the tongue.
In short, if you want to find someone among the 800,000 citizens in the French Concession, no matter whether it is the special high school or the secret service headquarters and other Japanese and puppet secret service agencies, it is better to find someone who straddles the black and white lines than "Mr. Xiao Cheng".
Looking for someone—Cheng Qianfan realized his fundamental particularity in this matter.
This is the only entry point for him to take action.
When 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' is busy with official duties and has no time to take care of him, he wants to see if the Special Higher Education Department will be anxious...
Now, he has made his move and is waiting for Sanbonjiro's response.
…
"Director Tande is already waiting anxiously in the office." Lu Jiu turned over and said.
Cheng Qianfan nodded, meaning that he understood.
"Brother Fan." An inspector handed over a document. Cheng Qianfan read it casually and signed it while walking.
In this way, he casually signed several documents along the way.
"What's going on?" He asked in a deep voice without signing a document.
"Brother Fan, Chief Luo from the General Affairs Office said hello and said that Kai Rui Yang Company is a model of honoring the public and abiding by the law..." Gao Dilin, the deputy inspector of the first patrol, said in a low voice.
"Lu Jiufan!" Cheng Qianfan said coldly.
"Here we are." Lu Jiufan trotted over, stood at attention and saluted.
"Kai Ruiyang's business is involved in the Jiangyang thief Jiang Mulezi case. It is now suspected that it is a den for the Jiang Mule gang to sell stolen goods, and it has been sealed." Cheng Qianfan said with a cold face.
"yes!"
Lu Jiufan saluted, turned around and took the order and left.
Gao Dilin looked embarrassed and looked at Cheng Qianfan, not knowing how to explain it for a moment.
"Idiot, you don't even know you're being used." Cheng Qianfan threw the document hard at Gao Dilin's face, "Get out!"
"This subordinate is so stupid that I let Brother Fan down." Gao Dilin picked up the documents and kept saying.
"Get out." Cheng Qianfan kicked Gao Dilin on the butt.
Gao Dilin breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly rolled away.
Arriving at the door of the conference room, First Patrol Commander Liang Yuchun and Second Patrol Commander Yuan Kaizhou were already waiting.
Cheng Qianfan glanced at the two of them, with a smile on his face, "Why are you two brothers at the door? You don't need to wait for me, just go in first."
"That's against the rules." Liang Yuchun said with a smile.
"Your Excellency Tande is coming in a rage." Yuan Kaizhou smiled, "Only a tall and powerful person like Mr. Cheng can withstand this."
Cheng Qianfan laughed. He adjusted his senior police officer uniform, glanced at Liang Yuchun and Yuan Kaizhou who were standing behind him, and opened the door of the conference room.
…
Qiao Chuntao held two bottles of liquor in her hands and walked slowly in a small alley.
He has a red scarf tied around his neck.
Qiao Chuntao didn't like to wear red clothes, which would remind him of the bright red blood of his masters, wives, and brothers and sisters who died.
However, this scarf was knitted by Xia Xiaoying, so he had to wear it, but he couldn't refuse.
Arriving at a courtyard along the river, Qiao Chuntao walked up and knocked on the door.
"who?"
"It's me." Qiao Chuntao replied, "Don't you want to drink wine? Qibao's wine."
As he spoke, he raised the wine bottle in his hand.
The door opened and Qiao Chuntao stepped in.
He handed over the two bottles of wine and went straight into the main room.
"team leader."
"team leader."
Inside, they were drinking tea and eating melon seeds in boredom, and more than ten people playing cards got up one after another.
Qiao Chuntao nodded with a cold expression.
After Lu Xingge left Shanghai for Ningbo, Qiao Chuntao once again served as deputy captain of the special operations team.
"Tell me something." Qiao Chuntao sat in the middle, "Sir Xiao is very satisfied with the performance of the brothers and entrusted me to greet the brothers. Chief Xiao said that he would personally ask for credit for all the brothers."
"Loyal to Chief Xiao, loyal to the bureau, loyal to the leader!" A young man of medium height with a crew cut stood up immediately and said.
The rest of the people also quickly agreed.
"Very good." Qiao Chuntao's expression remained calm, "The situation in the concession is currently tense and no one is allowed to go out at will."
He looked at everyone, "If any brother is alone and encounters an unexpected situation, be sure to remember this..."
"We are from Jiang Mulezi." Everyone laughed and said.
Someone had a white note taped on his forehead and said with a smile, "For Jiang Mulezi and other gangsters to be able to borrow their names from us, that is the blessing that Jiang Mulezi has cultivated over many lifetimes."
There was a hint of joking smile on Qiao Chuntao's cold face.
The team leader asked him to make some noise, and then Qiao Chuntao led people to loot the 'Fuzhong Gold Store'.
This target was chosen by Qiao Chuntao, and it was also Qiao Chuntao's idea to use the name "Ginger Mule".
…
"Your Excellency, please rest assured that everyone in our Central Patrol Office must fulfill their duties and maintain the safety of citizens as the top priority." Cheng Qianfan solemnly stated, "The Jiang Mulezi gang dares to commit crimes against the wind and provoke the power of our Patrol Office. We will definitely strike hard.
Bring this gang of criminals to justice!"
"Very good, well said." Tande gave Cheng Qianfan a deep look, "Vice President Cheng, I hope your ability to act will match your words."
"Please rest assured, Your Excellency." Cheng Qianfan did not flinch at all when facing Tan De's gaze. His eyes were calm, "You will receive the good news soon."
"I hope so." Tander nodded, hummed slightly and left with the police officer from the Political Department.
"It seems that Mr. Tande is here with bad intentions." Yuan Kaizhou said with a sneer from his side.
"If he wants to give an explanation, let's just give him an explanation." Liang Yuchun said abruptly from the side.
"Okay, two brothers." Cheng Qianfan took off his white gloves and handed them to Li Hao. He looked at the two of them, "This time, Jiang Mulezi dared to violate our jurisdiction, and he must give an explanation.
of."
His eyes were cold and he held up three fingers, "Three days, three days, I want to see someone."
Liang Yuchun and Yuan Kaizhou looked at each other and nodded seriously.
Although three days are tight, it is more than enough to complete the task:
Vice President Cheng said that he would see someone in three days.
…
Qiao Chuntao led someone to pretend to be the "Jiang Yang Thief Jiang Mule" and robbed the Fuzhong Gold Store.
Cheng Qianfan was quite satisfied.
The owner of Fuzhong Gold Store, Li Fukun, is the cousin of Li Minyi, a traitor to the Nanjing Reform Government. Strictly speaking, this gold store is considered a traitor asset.
At the same time, Li Minyi's power is mainly in Nanjing and has little influence in Shanghai. Such a Fuzhong Gold Store is actually one of the best targets.
As for pretending to be a criminal thief, Jiang Mulezi is actually a repertoire of the Shanghai special situation team.
He was very satisfied with Qiao Chuntao, his subordinate.
Taozi has grown and progressed very quickly and has become a good helper for him.
Many times, he no longer needs to do everything personally. He only needs a word or a request, and Taozi can understand and give the best solution.
That afternoon, the entire French Concession was in turmoil. Patrol officers and plainclothes detectives took to the streets one after another to launch a search for the notorious Jiang Mule Gang.
However, when it was time to close the team in the evening, no information related to Jiang Mule was found. Instead, many petty thieves were captured, including the capture of two flower photographers and the rescue of several abducted children.
It is said that Mr. Xiao Cheng was not satisfied with the results of the search, and the angry scolding of "Mr. Xiao Cheng" could be heard in almost the entire Central Patrol Room.
After Cheng Qianfan scolded his subordinates profusely, he left the central patrol room with a gloomy face.
On the way back to Lafayette Road from Xue Huali Road, Cheng Qianfan's expression became more serious and calm.
Until he got off work, he did not receive any instructions from the extra-high school class, and he was not even called over.
This made Cheng Qianfan more certain about the vague guess in his heart.
…
Such a big case occurred in the Central Patrol Room, and Cheng Qianfan certainly did not think that Sanbonjiro would not be able to grasp the situation.
Not to mention the fact that there must be people from the Special High School in the patrol room, let’s talk about the commotion caused by the reporters gathered on Xue Huali Road today. If Sanbenjiro did not receive a report from his subordinates, he would not be a qualified Special High School officer.
Section Chief.
Under this situation, he did not receive any calls or notifications from Sanbonjiro, nor did he make any inquiries.
This is not in line with Cheng Qianfan's understanding of Sanbonjiro's temperament.
Mimotojiro is a person with extremely strict requirements. To a certain extent, Cheng Qianfan thinks that Mimotojiro is a person with not too serious obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Although it is not a serious form of obsessive-compulsive disorder, it is also obsessive-compulsive disorder!
There is another quarrel in the Central District of the French Concession. As the de facto chief executive of the Central Patrol Room, Cheng Qianfan must bear the brunt of the pressure. In this case, can he invest more manpower and energy in finding the person as originally planned?
In peaceful work, this is a question mark.
Based on Sanbonjiro's temperament and his understanding of Sanbonjiro, he would at least inquire about the matter and ask about the progress.
However, none of this happened.
In this way, this gave Cheng Qianfan his first intuitive feedback:
The enemy doesn't seem to be that anxious about Ren Anning's whereabouts!
Isn't it possible that Sanbonjiro was worried that Ren Anning had already successfully escaped from Shanghai?
Cheng Qianfan's other vague speculation seems to have a more powerful confirmation——
The enemy is not worried about not finding Ren Anning!
Why is this?
Did the Japanese already know the whereabouts of Ren Anning?
In fact, the Japanese have captured Ren Anning and have this person under their control?
Cheng Qianfan didn't know the answer, but he was inclined to believe that these two possibilities existed, and the possibilities were not small.
…
These two possibilities may seem similar, but in fact they are quite different.
In the first case, the Japanese already know the whereabouts of Ren Anning?
This can explain why Sanbonjiro is not in a hurry.
At the same time, this can also prove that Cheng Qianfan himself is safe, and Sanbonjiro did not doubt "Kentaro Miyazaki".
Sanbonjiro should reveal Ren Anning's whereabouts to him at a suitable time, or release clues so that he can discover Ren Anning.
As for why Sanbonjiro didn't tell him the whereabouts of Ren Anning from the beginning?
Cheng Qianfan guessed that this should be due to Sanbonjiro's caution.
This is because, without notifying him in advance, he will arrange manpower to search for Ren Anning, which will confuse the military commander to a certain extent and win the trust of the other party, because he is really looking for someone.
Of course, the most important thing is that Sanbonjiro is the commander. What he wants to do and when he wants to do it are his own considerations. Miyazaki Kentaro has no control over it and can only obey his orders.
In the second case, the Japanese have already captured Ren Anning, or at least have this person under control.
If this is possible, this is a dangerous sign.
Although this does not exactly mean that Sanbonjiro doubts him and does not trust him.
However, this is indeed a not-so-good signal.
At the very least, since the person has been caught, why didn't Sanbonjiro clearly inform him? In this case, Sanbonjiro only needed to inform him clearly and order him to cooperate in a play to show to the military commander Zheng Weilong.
.
Of course, Sanbonjiro may also have his own considerations, which are just like the first possibility——
In order to make the process of finding Ren Anning more realistic without knowing the inside story, this would help him win Zheng Weilong's trust.
However, since suspicion is always the agent's first subconscious consideration, if the Special High School had already captured Ren Anning, Sanbonjiro did not inform him. This situation was enough to arouse Cheng Qianfan's vigilance.
Suddenly, Cheng Qianfan frowned, and then showed a look of surprise. He felt that he seemed to have clarified a small doubt in his heart.
