Chapter 301: Finding out the clues (please vote for me)
The car stopped at the entrance of a relatively hidden alley on Hankou Road.
Cheng Qianfan got off the car.
Entering the alley, in the middle of the alley, he took out the key and opened the door of a house, walked through the yard, went out the back door, and arrived at another street.
At the end of the street, there was a simple carport, and a black Austin car was parked in the carport.
"Inspector Cheng." A lame old man nodded and bowed.
Cheng Qianfan handed over a two-yuan French currency and said, "Drink less."
"There is no other way, this is what the old man likes." The lame old man said with a smile.
Cheng Qianfan opened the door, turned on the key, and started the car.
Before preparing to leave, he rolled down the window, opened the glove box, took out a pack of three turrets, and threw it to the lame old man, "Save it."
The lame old man thanked him profusely, and Cheng Qianfan drove away.
The streets are bustling with people.
The fall of Peking and Tianjin in the far north did not seem to have a very direct impact on the largest city in the Far East.
Cheng Qianfan drove along and after passing through several streets, he stopped at a roadside under the shade of a tree.
He lit a cigarette and took a slow puff. The tobacco breath entered from the nasal cavity and trachea and circulated in the lungs. At the same time, it stimulated the brain and made him sober when he was tired.
He was thinking about what Hao Zai said.
…
The ‘self-righteous’ Japanese people.
He used the word again.
Even if Qiao Chuntao didn't confirm that the 'little girl' was a Japanese dwarf through the tattoo on her wrist, Cheng Qianfan could tell that there was something wrong with the little girl.
A little girl who was almost insulted by a Japanese ronin, instead of escaping quickly, reappeared near the scene of the incident, even claiming to be looking for her 'saviour'.
Cheng Qianfan's feeling is that sometimes the Japanese are very cunning and extremely insidious, but sometimes they are so self-righteous. They think that their thoughts are perfect, but in fact they are extremely stupid and treat others as fools.
What Cheng Qianfan is wondering now is why this Japanese dwarf is looking for Qiao Chuntao and Jiang Laosan.
This behavior is inconsistent with Cheng Qianfan's previous analysis of this matter.
His previous analysis of the matter with Qiao Chuntao showed that whether the Japanese ronin deliberately designed traps to trap and kill the anti-Japanese compatriots, or the Japanese military tried to use traps to create friction, both behaviors have one characteristic:
Randomness!
They don't care who takes the bait.
Based on this judgment, even if Qiao Chuntao and Jiang Laosan successfully escaped, Japan would not actually care too much.
On the contrary, not only will they not continue to search and hunt, they will also deliberately suppress the matter to avoid spreading it, so as not to affect their continued 'fishing'.
Therefore, Cheng Qianfan was very surprised to hear that the 'little girl' was not hiding anything and was actually looking for a 'savior'.
This is a very abnormal situation.
What is the purpose of the Japanese doing this?
…
Cheng Qianfan threw the cigarette butt out of the window, took out a cigarette, and played with it in his hand without lighting it.
The current situation was completely beyond his expectation.
The most likely explanation is that his two previous inferences were wrong.
The Japanese's actions had the direct purpose of 'finding people' from the beginning, or it could be said that they were directed at Qiao Chuntao and Jiang Laosan.
At the beginning, they were fishing for two fish, Qiao Chuntao and Jiang Laosan.
With this guess, Cheng Qianfan's mind immediately opened up.
Before Qiao Chuntao was injured, his and Jiang Laosan's mission was to secretly monitor the Inoue Mansion.
Those previous guesses and information were like a messy ball of thread.
Now, the ideas in his mind are getting clearer and clearer, as if he has a main thread, and he strings together these scattered threads:
The true identities of this Japanese female dwarf and those Japanese ronin are most likely the Japanese from the Inoue Mansion.
They discovered that the mansion was being watched, but they were unable to lock down the watcher, so they resorted to this method of 'fishing'.
In this way, everything is straightened out.
Although it was just a guess, Cheng Qianfan was 70% sure.
…
Cheng Qianfan, who was wearing a hat and slightly covered up, waded through the water to the door of Yang Changnian's clinic, and saw Yang Changnian taking out water from the basin.
In the afternoon, a sudden heavy rain fell in Shanghai.
Although it only lasted less than an hour, the rainfall was considerable.
"Did you get wet?" Cheng Qianfan entered the clinic and didn't care that the stool was wet. He sat down and handed Yang Changnian a cigarette.
"This land is a depression, and even toads that urinate in it will suffer disaster." Yang Changnian took the cigarette handed over by the team leader, lit it, and took a puff.
"How long will it take for Taozi's injury to heal?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"It will take at least another month." Yang Changnian said.
"You go to Jiang Mulezi at night and tell him to arrange for Jiang Lao San and Jiang Lao Si to go to Qiao Chuntao's place and tell Tao Zi and the others that they are not allowed to go out recently without my order, and at the same time increase their vigilance," Cheng Qianfan said.
"Team leader, what happened?" Yang Changnian asked immediately.
"Qiao Chuntao and Jiang Laosan are being targeted. The Japanese female dwarf is looking for them." While Cheng Qianfan was talking, he could see children sitting in a wooden basin and rowing a boat outside the door.
He threw the cigarette butt into the water and continued, "I guess the Inoue Mansion discovered that it was being watched and took countermeasures. The incident with the Japanese female dwarf and the Japanese ronin was a trap for them."
"So, you have to be careful with everything these days."
"yes!"
"Doctor Yang, how many tablets do you prescribe at a time?" Cheng Qianfan stood up and asked.
"Twice a day, two tablets at a time." Yang Changnian understood and wrapped it in a small white paper, "Sir, take it carefully and don't get it wet."
The tablets are Jianweixiaoshi tablets, which are commonly used at home.
"Got it." Cheng Qianfan went out, seemed to be quite careful and picked up the pills wrapped in white paper and looked at them before stuffing them into his pocket and wading out of the water.
Unless there is a sudden situation like Qiao Chuntao's injury before, Cheng Qianfan is now trying his best to avoid too many frequent contacts with other subordinates.
If there were orders that needed to be conveyed, he would convey them through Li Hao, Hao Zai or Yang Changnian.
Needless to say, Li Hao and Hao Zai are his confidants.
I chose Yang Changnian because he is a doctor, and he is a doctor who is relatively well-known for his medical skills.
This profession is very good. Anyone who comes here will not arouse too much suspicion.
Similarly, Yang Changnian's status as a doctor also allows him to move more freely, and he can go out in the name of door-to-door medical practice.
…
Honolulu Road.
Cheng Qianfan came to the door of Huiya Bookstore, pretended to smoke, and secretly placed the information in an abandoned mailbox next to a telephone pole.
This morning, the national government officially submitted a request to the French Concession authorities to extradite Liu Bo.
