Li Hao appeared in Yandeli carrying an aluminum lunch box in one hand and a salted fish in the other.
"Haozi is here."
"Have you eaten yet, Haozi?"
Neighbors greeted Li Hao one after another. At first, these old neighbors were quite discriminatory towards Li Hao, a little beggar. After a few years, Li Hao grew up and had a serious job, and the neighbors slowly began to accept him.
"There is fried food in the lunch box, it smells so delicious." The little tailor came over, pointed at the lunch box in Li Hao's hand and said with a smile.
"Bring breakfast to Brother Fan." Li Hao said that he didn't like this little tailor. He was too stingy and always took advantage of others. When Li Hao was begging in the past, the little tailor would rather pour the leftovers into the toilet.
Not even for the little beggars to eat.
Hearing what Li Hao said, the little tailor licked his lips and did not dare to say anything more.
In his eyes, the former little beggar Li Hao could still be bullied.
He didn't dare to provoke Cheng Qianfan.
When Liu Ada, a wonton seller, saw Li Hao carrying the fried dumplings back to Yandeli, he cursed angrily and swore that the fried dumplings at this restaurant were far worse than his wontons.
This is a new family selling fried pancakes on the street in the alley next door. Liu Ada regards this as a life-or-death enemy.
…
"Brother Fan!" Li Hao knocked on the door and shouted loudly.
Cheng Qianfan poked his head out of the second-floor window, "Haozi is here, wait a minute."
As he spoke, he shouted at Liu A, "Liu Ada, please have two bowls of wontons."
After hearing this, the proud Liu Ada raised his head, with an extremely proud smile on his vicissitudes of life, and muttered to Li Hao, which probably meant that if your brother Fan doesn't eat raw pancakes, he should eat mine.
ravioli.
"Go, wash your hands and prepare to eat." Cheng Qianfan went downstairs, opened the door, took the lunch box from Li Hao's hand, placed it on the table, and hung up the salted fish.
Cheng Qianfan noticed that of the two bowls of wontons, one bowl contained the same number of wontons as before, while the other bowl had an extra wonton.
He glanced at the aluminum lunch box that Li Hao used to hold fried fish, shook his head and smiled.
He pulled the square dining table a few meters inwards, away from the door, and closed the door behind him.
Breakfast is two bowls of wontons, pan-fried pancakes in the lunch box, four meat buns, and two poached eggs.
This kind of breakfast can be said to be relatively rich.
"There was a gunshot last night, what happened?" Cheng Qianfan picked up a piece of fried fish and asked as he ate it.
This was a tacit understanding between him and Li Hao. If something big happened in the French Concession, Li Hao would come to Cheng Qianfan to have breakfast or dinner with him the next day.
He will tell Cheng Qianfan the news he heard.
Li Hao and some of the little beggars Li Hao knew were Cheng Qianfan's clairvoyant eyes and ears.
…
"Well, I heard about it." Li Hao munched on the poached eggs and his mouth was full of oil. "They said they were trying to catch the Red Party. The Red Party and the Kuomintang were fighting. Many people from the Kuomintang died but they didn't catch the Red Party."
"How is it on the street?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Tightening up, I saw Officer Lu leading people to patrol the streets and check my ID. He knew me and didn't check me."
Officer Lu is Big Tou Lu. This morning, it was the turn of the third patrol of the Central Police Station, Da Tou Lu, to lead the third-class police officer to patrol the streets.
Cheng Qianfan nodded. The huge commotion last night, including gun battles and grenade explosions, was comparable to a small 'military conflict'.
This is nothing less than a slap in the face to the French Concession authorities who claim that the French Concession is the safest place in Greater Shanghai.
Strengthening patrols and interrogations is not only to search for the culprits, but also to flex muscles and shock people.
"Pidan cried in the morning." Li Hao said, "He thought the gentleman who gave him the steamed buns was beaten to death."
"What's going on?" Cheng Qianfan handed a steamed bun to Li Hao. Li Hao was growing taller and could eat it.
"Pi Dan once ran to Hankou Road to beg for food and was beaten up by Er Gou, a beggar there. A gentleman from the declaration office came out and saw him, broke his steamed bun in half and gave it to Pi Dan and Er Gou." Li Hao
He whispered, "Er Gou came and told Pi Dan that the man who gave them steamed buns was beaten to death, and Pi Dan cried."
"Later, the two of them ran to inquire about the news and found out that the person from the declaration office named A Hai was not dead and ran away."
It turns out that his name is A Hai and he works at "Declaration".
Cheng Qianfan immediately understood who the person Li Hao was talking about was probably the red party member who was being followed by agents from the Party Affairs Investigation Department, and who was the first person he rescued.
Thinking of "Shen Shen", Cheng Qianfan didn't know what was going on. He immediately thought of Fang Muheng, who also worked in "Shen Shen".
Almost as a subconscious reaction, Cheng Qianfan suspected that this incident had some unknown relationship with Fang Muheng.
At first it was just an inexplicable reaction for no reason.
However, after thinking about it carefully, the more Cheng Qianfan thought about it, the more he felt that his feeling was reasonable.
…
After returning from Hangzhou, I learned that "Zhu Yuan" was "rescued" by the Red Party and was quickly executed as a traitor.
Cheng Qianfan carefully studied and analyzed the entire process of this matter.
The Party Affairs Investigation Department set up a conspiracy to arrange for the traitor "Zhu Yuan" to infiltrate the Red Party.
Fang Muheng undoubtedly played a key role in this plan of the Party Affairs Investigation Office, and Fang Muheng was used without his knowledge.
He concluded that the arrest of Fang Muheng by the Party Affairs Investigation Department at that time was also part of this plan.
Fang Muheng is not a red party member. Cheng Qianfan can draw this conclusion, and the Party Affairs Investigation Office can also see this.
This kind of Fang Muheng is not worth the effort of the Party Affairs Investigation Department to arrest him.
The purpose of arresting Fang Muheng was so that Fang Muheng could meet "Zhu Yuan" in the cell for legitimate reasons.
The 'Zhu Yuan' plan failed.
The agents of the Party Affairs Investigation Department may have set their sights on Fang Muheng again, or may not have relaxed their surveillance of Fang Muheng.
Yes, Fang Muheng is not a red party member.
However, Fang Muheng, who is full of passion but has no fighting experience, obviously has some kind of relationship with the Red Party.
This is someone you can take advantage of.
If he were an agent of the Party Affairs Investigation Department, he would also arrange for someone to keep an eye on Fang Muheng. This is just sitting back and waiting.
Cheng Qianfan also knew that his speculation and analysis was untenable strictly speaking. Just because Ahai and Fang Muheng were colleagues in the "Declaration", he could not think that it was Fang Muheng who failed to succeed and failed.
However, there was a feeling in his heart that this possibility existed.
It is easy to verify the guesses. Just ask who Fang Muheng has a better relationship with at the declaration office and what is the relationship between Fang Muheng and Ah Hai.
Ahai is a member of the Red Party. Judging from his performance yesterday, he is vigilant enough and has some experience in struggle.
Ah Hai may be more careful and not reveal his flaws, but the probability of something going wrong with Fang Muheng is too high, and this person will not hide his good relationship with the red party within the declaration office.
As long as they keep an eye on who Fang Muheng has a good relationship with, the spies can basically target the suspected target within the smallest possible range.
When he met Fang Muheng for the first time, Cheng Qianfan had a relatively clear judgment about this man. He had high revolutionary enthusiasm, but he had not been tempered by the cruel revolutionary struggle and had no authority. He was a respectable and passionate young man, but he was also prone to bad things.
