"Guns?" Qiao Shanyi shook his head, "I told Taijun that I didn't find any guns."
Chai Yangsi couldn't help but frown.
Saihi Foreign Company is not an ordinary foreign company. In fact, Saihi Keynosuke is secretly supported by the military police, helping the military police to monitor the streets and detect Japanese enemies.
According to the information available to Shibagoji Temple, Nihihi Yoko possesses two imperial standard Southern Fourteen pistols, one Nishihi Keyanosuke and one Sakuragi Tezuka.
However, Nishihi Keynosuke once complained about his dissatisfaction with Nanbu's pistols and purchased two Mauser short guns from the Military Police.
Now, all four short guns are missing.
"Did anyone hear gunshots last night?" Shiba Goatji asked.
"There was absolutely no gunfire." Qiao Shanyi said quickly, "If there had been a gunshot, the crime would have been committed last night."
"Qiao Sang, there were four short guns in Xifei Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. Now that the short guns have disappeared, do you still think that the crime was committed by Jiangyang gangsters?" Chai Yangsi stared at Qiao Shanyi and asked.
"Taijun, look." Qiao Shanyi came to the body of Nishihi Keyanosuke and squatted down to point it out to Shibagoji Temple. "Everyone, including Taijun Nishihi, was killed by gangsters with daggers."
With that said, he led Chaiyangsi to check other corpses.
Chai Yangsi nodded.
"This shows that this group of criminals does not have guns and weapons." Qiao Shanyi said, "Of course, it is also possible that this group of people are good at martial arts. They are worried that firing guns will attract the police, so they choose to use cold weapons to kill people."
Chai Yangsi frowned and motioned for Qiao Shanyi to continue.
"There are many thieves in Shandong. Before the empire stationed in Qingdao, there were thieves active near Qingdao. These people were very skilled. They climbed walls to enter homes and committed murders and robberies. Some of them especially liked to use cold weapons, because they were not easy to use. It will cause a lot of noise, and I will not use the gun unless it is absolutely necessary." Qiao Shanyi said, "There have been similar cases before, so I immediately suspected that the crime was committed by a gangster."
"After the empire entered Qingdao, they recruited many of these thieves. For other thieves who were unwilling to submit to the Japanese Empire, the locust army has been encircling and suppressing them." Qiao Shanyi said, "Faced with the empire's encirclement and suppression, these people's life is not easy. , lack of weapons and ammunition.”
He looked at Chaiyang Temple and continued, "As for the short guns of Xifei Yangxing, they were probably robbed by this group of criminal thieves."
"So, you still insist that these people are criminal thieves and not Japanese haters?" Shiba Goatji frowned.
Qiao Shanyi looked at Chaiyang Temple and hesitated to speak.
"You can tell me anything you want," Chai Yangsi said. He knew something about this Qiao Shanyi. He had been a policeman in Qingdao for more than ten years and was a capable man.
"May I ask Taijun, does Taijun Xifei serve the empire?" Qiao Shanyi asked cautiously.
"Nishihi Keyanosuke has many cooperation relationships with our military police team," Shibagoji said.
"That's it." Qiao Shanyi nodded. He pointed at the body of Nishihi Keynosuke and said, "Nishihi-kun was killed with a knife. According to the forensic examination, Nishihi-kun just discovered that the bad guys had broken in, and then he didn't If he had time to resist, he would be killed."
"What you mean is that this means that this group of people directly killed people and did not force a confession from Nishihi Kainosuke." Shibagoji said.
"Yes." Qiao Shanyi nodded, "Based on various clues, I can infer that the villain is a gangster, not a Japanese hater."
Speaking of this, Qiao Shanyi paused for a moment, feeling that he still couldn't finish what he said, so he quickly added a few more sentences, "Of course, this is just my speculation, and it cannot be completely ruled out that this group of people are anti-Japanese elements."
After Shibagoji Temple led the military police to carefully investigate the scene and took away the bodies of Nishihi Keyanosuke and others, a young policeman approached Qiao Shanyi.
"Captain, Taijun suspected that the anti-Japanese elements were responsible from the very beginning. Why didn't you just push the boat forward?" He said, "This way we will have much less responsibility."
"Taijun is not stupid. If they go back and investigate and study carefully, they will find that this is more like a crime committed by Jiang Yang." Qiao Shanyi glanced at one of his men and snorted coldly, "Xiaojun, remember this sentence, smart people will not survive. long."
"Yes, yes, yes." Wei Jun smiled and said quickly.
…
In the corridor on the second floor, there is a window on the east side. Cheng Qianfan is lying on the window sill, smoking a cigarette and looking at the Japanese people on the street, who take every two steps and one sentry every five steps.
The street in front of the guest house has been completely under martial law, and all idlers have been expelled. No one can approach this street without a special pass from Xingyayuan.
This also made Cheng Qianfan's heart sink.
He originally planned to go to the cheese cafe near the guest house to drink coffee at noon, and tried to hide the information until Tao Zi went to the cafe to pick it up.
In this situation now, this method no longer works.
Since this road was blocked, even though he was burning with anxiety, he decisively put down his emotions and concentrated on doing things.
He flicked the ashes of his cigarette, then put out the cigarette butt on the window sill, and walked straight to the lounge on the second floor to wait.
"Where's Sister Xia?" Cheng Qianfan glanced at Liu Xia and asked casually, not seeing Liu Xia's figure.
"Liu Xia said she didn't feel well and went to the bathroom." Du Weiming put down the newspaper in his hand and said.
As he spoke, he asked Cheng Qianfan with a smile, "Qianfan just went on patrol?"
The Secretary-General specially arranged for Cheng Qianfan, an assistant with "rich experience in investigation and case handling", to join the security work to protect Mr. Wang's safety. This matter had already spread, so Du Weiming asked this question.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue the exciting content! "Inspection around and took a look." Cheng Qianfan handed a cigarette to Du Weiming, "Deputy Director Li has already arranged the security work. I It's just a routine inspection, they are the ones doing the real hard work."
"You're welcome, brother." Du Weiming said, "The most important thing is to have this loyalty."
"That makes sense." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "Mr. Wang is the hope of the country and the nation. If he can contribute a small amount to defend Mr. Wang, even if he works a hundred times harder, he will be happy."
After a while, Liu Xia came back. Cheng Qianfan saw Liu Xia's pale face and asked with concern.
"Why don't you feel well? Do you want me to go out and ask for medicine for you?"
"It's okay." Liu Xia said.
"You can't be careless about your health." Cheng Qianfan said. He suddenly realized that this was a reasonable excuse to go out, so he tried hard to fight for it.
He remembered that there didn't seem to be a pharmacy on the street in front of the Guest House, and that he had to go around to the next street to find a clinic.
"I said it's okay." Liu Xia glanced at Cheng Qianfan and saw that he wanted to say more, so she said angrily, "What do you know about women's affairs?"
"Ah, uh." Cheng Qianfan smiled, stood up and poured a glass of water for Liu Xia, "Drink more hot water."
Liu Xia rolled her eyes at Cheng Qianfan.
"I'm going for a walk." Cheng Qianfan touched his nose and left as if running away.
Liu Xia looked at Cheng Qianfan's running back and finally couldn't help but smile.
Having tea, reading newspapers, and occasionally going out for routine inspections, the morning passed quickly.
…
Adjourned in the afternoon.
At the entrance of the Guest House, Chu Mingyu, Zhou Liang and others sent Liang Hongzhi, Wang Keming and Shang Qing off on behalf of Wang Quaihai.
Cheng Qianfan put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker. A gust of cool wind came and blew the plaster flag hanging on the flagpole of the guesthouse. He squinted and looked at it, but his back straightened 'subconsciously' and his eyes were filled with eagerness. .
"Bah." Lu Guoyi spat on the ground not far away, and then said to Wan Haiyang beside him, "Wan Chu, look at the way this person looks at the Japanese flag. If there is something wrong with this person, I The first one doesn’t believe it.”
"Okay." Wan Haiyang glared at Lu Guoyi, "Stop thinking about being lazy."
Isn't it because I went out to follow Cheng Qianfan last night and got cold? This guy just wanted to stay in the hotel and didn't want to go out on the field.
Lu Guoyi chuckled and did not dare to say anything else. Anyway, the locust army was under martial law today. Even if Cheng Qianfan wanted to go out and have fun, he would have to hold it in at the guest house.
"It seems that the morning meeting was not very pleasant." Cheng Qianfan came to Liu Xia's side and whispered.
Wang Chuanhai did not come out to see off Liang Hongzhi, Wang Keming, and Shang Qing in person, which was obviously because of his anger.
"Young fool," Liu Xia elbowed Cheng Qianfan, "It affects unity."
Cheng Qianfan smiled and patted his mouth to signal himself to shut up.
From the fourth-floor window of an apartment two streets away from the Yingbin Hotel, Qiao Chuntao held a telescope with both hands to observe the movement at the entrance of the Yingbin Hotel.
He kept staring at Brother Fan.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Cheng Qianfan patting his mouth with a smile. At the same time, he noticed that after Cheng Qianfan finished this action, he looked at the sky again. This action was a confirmation of the previous action!
His heart sank.
problem occurs!
Brother Fan's action means: stop all actions and be silent!
When I met with Brother Fan yesterday, Brother Fan also said that he should act according to the situation, but now he suddenly issued this order. It is obvious that the situation has changed.
Qiao Chuntao fell into deep thought, wondering what happened that made Brother Fan order them to be silent.
After watching the convoy of Liang Hongzhi, Wang Keming, Shang Qing and others leave under the escort of the Japanese military police, Cheng Qianfan followed Chu Mingyu back to the hotel.
He sighed in his heart.
After realizing that it was difficult for him to contact Qiao Chuntao again and that it was impossible to spread the information about possible changes at Qingdao Station, Cheng Qianfan made the most calm decision to deal with it decisively. At the same time, it was also a cold decision.
Something might happen at Qingdao Station, which he could not stop.
Under such circumstances, Cheng Qianfan did not believe that Qingdao Station’s action against the ‘Big Three’ meeting would have any chance of success.
He even suspected that Li Cuiqun might set a trap to draw the anti-Japanese forces into the group as much as possible.
Under this situation, Taozi and others must not make any strange moves, otherwise they will fall into a trap.
Before he could further understand the changes in the situation, and before he and Taozi could meet and discuss the situation face-to-face, Cheng Qianfan decided to stay still and put safety first.
…
"What do you think of Onodera-kun's tragedy at Saihiyosho?" Shibagoji asked Onodera Shogo.
"I carefully examined the bodies and found that all five of them were killed with one blow." Onodera Shogo said thoughtfully, "From this point of view, it is in line with Qiao Shanyi's judgment."
He told Chaiyangji, "The other party has not tortured or interrogated Xifei. From this point of view, it does not look like it was done by rebels."
"In addition, judging from the traces at the scene, the other party did not stay too long in Xifei Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. They rummaged through the property that was easy to carry, collected the guns, and left decisively."
"In addition, there is a very important point." Onodera Shogo said, "There is a safe in Nishihi's bedroom, and the keyhole of the safe has signs of being pried. However, the signs are not obvious, which shows that this group of people I just tried to open the lock, but after finding out that it was unsuccessful, I decisively gave up on the safe."
"I have already opened the safe. In addition to the money, the most important thing is a few documents." Onodera Shogo said, "From this point, we can also judge that this group of people should just be a group of robbers. Gangster thief."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue! Shibagoji nodded. Nishihi Keyanosuke's connection with the intelligence room is deeper, and Onodera Shogo has more say in this.
"If that's the case, I'll be relieved." Chaoyang Temple nodded.
Although the gangsters are hateful, the top priority for Qingdao at present is to ensure the safety and smoothness of the meeting of the 'Big Three'. As long as the rebels are not causing trouble, other matters can be postponed.
…
"The announcement is going on. All brothers will stay in seclusion and remain silent." Qiao Chuntao said in a deep voice, "Nothing can be done without my order."
"Yes!" A brother from the Special Situation Branch agreed, picked up his hat, put it on, and hurried away.
"Team leader, which link do you think has changed?" Mao Xuanyi asked Qiao Chuntao.
"It's hard to tell." Qiao Chuntao shook his head. He glanced at Mao Xuanyi and said, "Just obey the order."
"Yes!" Mao Xuanyi nodded seriously. He glanced at Qiao Chuntao and hesitated.
"Say it."
"I just thought about it carefully. We had time to open the safe yesterday." Mao Xuanyi said. Seeing Qiao Chuntao about to speak, he hurriedly explained, "I understand, and the team leader also knows that I am the support team member."
The commander decided that we should try our best to prevent the enemy from suspecting that we are anti-Japanese elements."
"However, I am confident that we can open the safe. That Nishihi Keynosuke is a Japanese spy. If his safe is not opened, there will be some valuable items. My subordinates think we can check it out before putting it back." Mao
Xuan Yi said.
At that time, he wanted to open the safe by himself, but Qiao Chuntao directly stopped him. He just made some casual attempts to pry open the safe, and then ordered everyone not to do anything to the safe again.
Mao Xuanyi had doubts at the time, but he had strong discipline and obedience and did not ask any more questions.
"Brother Mao."
"Eh."
"You are very clever, I admire you very much." Qiao Chuntao said, "You don't need to remind me, you know how to disguise the scene as if it is being robbed by gangsters. This is good."
Mao Xuanyi said nothing. He knew that Team Leader Qiao's next words would be to point out his shortcomings.
He was indeed very interested and wanted to listen to Qiao Chuntao's guidance and teachings.
At the Hangzhou Station of the Military Command, he was a leader in the station, accomplished many feats, and was often proud of it.
However, before being transferred to the Shanghai Special Situation Office, Qi Wu specifically told him that the Shanghai Special Situation Office has hidden dragons and crouching tigers, so he must be humble and learn with an open mind.
Although Mao Xuanyi is arrogant, he is not ignorant. His greatest advantage is his strong discipline.
"What did we come to Qingdao for?"
"Even if there are valuable things in Nishihi Keynosuke's safe, and even documents related to the Military Police, what is more important in terms of our mission?"
"When the safe is opened, what should we take and what should we not take?"
"Even if we check the contents of the safe and put them back, you can be sure that the enemy has not set up a secret investigation, but it will be self-defeating."
"What we want to create is the illusion of a gangster who moves in and out quickly. Remember, don't touch any extraneous matters." Qiao Chuntao looked at Mao Xuanyi with a calm face and a calm tone.
For extraordinary skills, Guan
The key is the smart-minded Mao Xuanyi. After this period of observation, he also quite appreciates it, so he is also willing to teach him.
