Chapter 416 Inspector Xiao Cheng is very angry (Qiyue
The area around Mailan Wharf has been put under full martial law.
The route is heavily guarded and there are numerous checkpoints.
At the beginning, Cheng Qianfan stuck his head out of the car window many times, mainly showing his handsome face, supplemented by shouting, as a passport.
Later, he simply asked Pete to stop the car.
He went to the car behind him by himself.
Have a police officer drive and sit in the back seat.
The other two police officers stood on the side of the car, wearing patrol uniforms, holding guns in one hand and looking murderous.
The car drove from the back to the front.
In Pete's car, Mr. Lieutenant insisted on driving by himself. He was not used to having the steering wheel controlled by an outsider, which would make him quite uncomfortable.
A police officer was sitting in the passenger seat, and the other two were also standing on the outside panel of the car, with their guns drawn and serious expressions on their faces.
I saw these two murderous cars coming from a distance, and the checkpoints along the way soon received messages one after another:
Inspector Xiao Cheng's warehouse in the Central District was robbed. No, he led an army to investigate!
…
Guy, the director of the French Concession Industrial Bureau, looked at the frightened Chinese man in front of him, waved his hand, and motioned for the patrolman to take this man away.
"Next one," Guy said.
"Mr. Guy, there are a total of five guards in the 901 warehouse of Baffin & Co., and you have already asked about them." Shaoermin said in a calm tone.
The director of the Ministry of Industry seemed to be skeptical of his report and insisted on questioning him again in person.
"Mr. Shao, tell me your opinion on this matter," Guy said.
"Baffin's guards said that the other party was speaking Chinese. However, the strange thing is that the five guards on Baffin's side are all alive and unharmed. On the contrary, all the Japanese guards at Mitsubishi Corporation have disappeared." Shaoermin
said.
"Combining the corpses of the thugs we just examined and the testimonies of the patrolmen who had fierce battles with the thugs, we have every reason to suspect that the thugs are most likely Japanese, and they deliberately spoke Chinese in front of the blindfolded Baffin Bank guards.
, is to confuse the audience.”
Mr. Guy nodded noncommittally, asked Shaoermin to file the investigation results as soon as possible, and left with the guards.
"Mr. Shao, the attitude of the French is a bit ambiguous." Xu Youguang said, "Are they afraid that the matter will be related to the Japanese and will be difficult to handle?"
Shaoermin shook his head.
The French pride themselves on being the most powerful country in Europe, so naturally they are not afraid of the Japanese.
However, in view of the current situation in Shanghai, the French are not willing to make relations with the Japanese too tense.
In Shaoermin's view, the intentions of the French Concession's Ministry of Industry and Industry Bureau are obvious:
The French deliberately want to show a fair attitude. Before the results are known, the French are unwilling to get too involved. Everything is based on investigation.
If the investigation results say that the Japanese did it, then the Japanese did it.
To put it bluntly, we want to patrol the roof in front.
At this moment, Patrolman Hong Dazhu ran over and said, "Mr. Shao, Second Lieutenant Pete from the Political Division of the Central Patrol Room, and Cheng Qianfan, the Third Patrol Chief of the Central Patrol Room, are here."
"What are they here for?" Shaoermin asked with a frown. This is the territory of the Mailan patrol house. What are the people from the Central District doing here?
"It is said that behind the Baffin Company are Second Lieutenant Peter and Cheng Qianfan." Xu Youguang said from the side.
Shaoermin sneered, "Go back to the patrol room."
Although Inspector Xiao Cheng has become famous, he is not taken seriously by Shaoermin yet. However, Peter is from the Political Department and has a good background.
Obviously, the other party came here to investigate.
At this time, it is best to avoid it for the time being.
…
"That's the car of Mailan Patrol Officer Fang Shao." One of his subordinates said to Cheng Qianfan.
"Old fox." Cheng Qianfan snorted.
"What does he mean?" Peter asked, confused.
"Mr. Shao is a smart man." Cheng Qianfan said, "If he doesn't meet us face to face, he won't stop us from conducting cross-district investigations."
From Shaoermin's point of view, if we meet with them, in addition to appeasing them, we will definitely need to intercept their private investigation operations. After all, this is Mailan District.
However, there is no doubt that this will offend Peter, the deputy squad leader of the investigation team of the Political Department.
In this case, just pretend you don't know anything.
If Cheng Qianfan's prediction is correct, the first thing Shao Ermin will do when he returns to the Mailan Patrol Room is to call Qin Detai to inquire about the matter. This is a dialogue of equal status, between public and private, and this is Mr. Shao's
The sense of proportion is very good.
Looking at the 901 warehouse that had been evacuated, Cheng Qianfan looked gloomy.
Not only was the warehouse emptied, but before they evacuated, they poured gasoline and set fire to it, making the entire warehouse miserable.
"Inspector, the people from Mailan Patrol Room are here." One of his subordinates said.
"Inspector Cheng, I have long admired my name. Here is Hong Dazhu, Inspector Fang of Mailan." Hong Dazhu trotted over, saluted and said with a smile.
"Brother Zhikang's subordinates?" Cheng Qianfan did not shake hands with the other party immediately, but glanced at the other party.
"Officially, Hong Dazhu, captain of the first squadron under Inspector Su."
Cheng Qianfan nodded and shook hands with the other party, "This is Second Lieutenant Pete from the Investigation Team of the Political Department."
"Mr. Second Lieutenant, Hong Dazhu salutes you." Hong Dazhu saluted respectfully.
Peter had a sullen face and reluctantly returned the greeting.
"Tell me, what did you find?" Cheng Qianfan threw a cigarette to Hong Dazhu, flicked a cigarette himself, held it in his mouth, and asked.
Hong Dazhu diligently helped Inspector Cheng light his cigarette, "If others ask, Hong will naturally not be able to tell. However, brothers all know that Inspector Cheng and Inspector Su are close friends. To Inspector Cheng, Hong
Of course he knows everything he knows."
"Tell me about it."
"yes."
…
"Are you saying that the Japanese attacked the dock and robbed the warehouse of supplies?" Cheng Qianfan listened to Hong Dazhu's report, his face changed continuously, and he asked in a deep voice.
"The brothers had a fierce battle with each other, and one of the brothers even had a physical fight with the other party. Judging from the corpse left behind by the other party, this is the conclusion that can be drawn so far." Hong Dazhu said.
"Hand-to-hand combat?" Cheng Qianfan glanced sideways, obviously not convinced.
He was well aware of the combat effectiveness of the patrols. If the opponent was really the Japanese army, these patrols would actually be able to get close and fight to the death with the opponent. He was skeptical about this.
"Inspector Cheng, don't underestimate people. We also have good men in the Mailan Police Station." Hong Dazhu looked like he had been greatly wronged.
The indignant Hong Dazhu recounted the heroic deeds of patrolman Zeng Jie, who fought fiercely with a thug in order to avenge the death of team leader Yu Hanzhong, whose right hand was bitten to pieces, and finally succeeded in killing him with Yu Hanzhong's pistol.
"I didn't expect there to be such a loyal and brave man." Cheng Qianfan was shocked. He could see that Hong Dazhu was not lying. This kind of thing that happened 'in full view of everyone' could not be faked.
"We escorted Inspector Su to the hospital, so we missed this fierce battle, and we regret not being able to witness this heroic act with our own eyes." Hong Dazhu said with emotion.
"It's my fault." Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly and said seriously, "I shouldn't question the bravery of my colleagues in Mailan District."
He was also muttering in his mind, what was going on, and he didn't know how Qiao Chuntao arranged it so that such an incredible situation would happen.
Could it be that he really bribed a Japanese, was willing to die, and even had a physical fight with the patrolman?
He couldn't figure it out.
…
"So, it's basically certain that the Japanese did it?" Peter asked.
"Judging from the current evidence, this is indeed the case." Hong Dazhu said, "If Second Lieutenant Pete has any questions, he can ask Deputy Inspector Pan of our patrol room. At that time, many brothers fought fiercely with the Japanese, and we suffered a lot of casualties.
It can all be proven.”
"Second Lieutenant Pitt has no doubts about your intentions." Cheng Qianfan said, "I just find it difficult to understand for a moment that the Japanese are crazy and actually attacked the dock and robbed supplies."
"We have to ask the Japanese!" Hong Dazhu looked angry. The Mailan patrol cell suffered heavy casualties, and his cousin was also injured. Naturally, he hated the Japanese deeply.
"You just said that all the Japanese guards at Mitsubishi Corporation have disappeared?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Yes, the Japanese's own warehouses have also been emptied, and their guards have disappeared."
"Take us to Mitsubishi's warehouse to have a look."
"this way please."
…
Mitsubishi Corporation's 903 warehouse.
Cheng Qianfan and Peter looked at each other.
Mitsubishi's warehouse was also evacuated, but it was very clean and not damaged.
In a corner, Peter bent down and picked up a broken cigarette box from under some scrap wooden boxes and handed it to Cheng Qianfan to look at.
"Peng Yi." Cheng Qianfan glanced at it and said with a frown.
This is a hard box of ten cigarettes from the Japanese cigarette brand Pengyi.
The cigarette box shows Japanese fighter planes flying in the sky, which seems to show Japan's strength.
"Inspector, I've asked you, but those people don't know anything." A subordinate came over and whispered.
Cheng Qianfan secretly arranged for his men to interrogate the guards of Baffin Matheson, but so far, nothing special has been gained.
After leaving the warehouse, Cheng Qianfan shook hands with Hong Dazhu and said goodbye.
"Baffin & Co. suffered heavy losses this time." Cheng Qianfan flicked the ashes from his cigarette and said.
Peter immediately understood what this guy meant, and he was a little angry, "My friend, now is not the time to talk about this."
"I didn't say anything." Cheng Qianfan threw away the cigarette butt, "Tell them that Jiujiu Company and Baffin Company are willing to share the losses this time."
"This doesn't look like you." Peter stared at Cheng Qianfan.
"Who do you think I am? Although I love money, I am also particular about people." Cheng Qianfan said, "I don't want the interest on the deposit, and I don't want them to compensate me. I want supplies!"
Peter was furious and pointed at Cheng Qianfan.
"If you think it's too much, you still have a share in the deposit anyway, so you don't have to give it up," Cheng Qianfan said.
"Why should I not want my money?" Peter shouted immediately.
Cheng Qianfan sneered.
"Baffin & Co. is Baffin & Co., and Jiujiu & Co. is Jiujiu & Co., although Baffin & Co. is Linda's father's property, I have always made a distinction between public and private matters," Pete said sternly.
Cheng Qianfan continued to sneer.
"Do you think it was really the Japanese who did it?" Pete asked in a muffled voice.
"I don't know." Cheng Qianfan shook his head. "Although there are various signs that the Japanese did it, it's hard to say. However, it seems that the Mailan patrol house is determined to be Japanese."
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and said, "No matter who did it, I will never let it go this time."
Pit nodded. No matter which party did it, they must give an explanation. His and Cheng Qianfan's black market business was getting bigger and bigger. I don't know how many people were watching secretly. If something like this happened, if it couldn't be shown with thunderous force,
Muscles, those who have been ready to move for a long time will most likely be tempted to seize the market.
"Xiaohe." Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice.
"Inspector, my subordinates are here."
"Let all the brothers take action. Even if the French Concession is turned upside down, we must find out who did it."
"clear!"
…
The fierce exchange of fire that occurred in the Mailan District and the Eastern District of the French Concession caused great shock and repercussions in Shanghai.
The French Concession Industry Bureau issued a notice strongly condemning this violent robbery.
The Ministry of Industry and Industry made strong protests to Japan and the national government respectively, demanding that both parties hand over the murderer.
Yes, the preliminary investigation reports of the Mailan Patrol Room and the East District Patrol Room are released:
The attackers at the wharf in Mailan District were initially judged to be Japanese troops.
There are signs that the attackers at the East District Pier were carried out by the National Army.
However, both Japan and the government immediately rebutted and denied that the matter had anything to do with them.
The Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai sent personnel to the Mailan patrol house and identified the corpses. The answer given was that the corpses were indeed 'soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Empire'. However, they did not die at the Mailan Pier, but were 'sacrificially sacrificed' by the Chinese army.
on the battlefield. Therefore, the Japanese Consulate General firmly believed that this was done by the national army with the intention of slandering the Empire of Japan.
The Nationalist Government in Shanghai sent personnel to investigate the eastern area of the French Concession and came to a similar conclusion: these corpses wearing national army uniforms were definitely not national soldiers, and some citizens recognized these corpses as Japanese guards of the Japanese Sanyou Trading Company.
Obviously, this is a move by the Japanese to frame the problem.
The response from the French Concession was quite direct, insisting that the Mailan District was caused by the Japanese and the Eastern District by the National Army, and demanded that both parties compensate for the losses related to the French Concession.
…
The major events that happened in the Mailan District and the Eastern District of the French Concession seemed to have nothing to do with the Central District, but they were related to it.
In just half a day, all the major gambling stalls, bars, underground opium dens, and brothels in the Central District were wiped out by the patrol room.
Especially in the area under the third patrol of the central district patrol house, the patrol is like a wild wolf that pounces on its prey, opening its bloody mouth and causing chaos in the entire third patrol area.
"Cheng Qianfan, what do you mean?"
Liang Yuchun, the second patrol chief of the Central District, rushed into the office of Cheng Qianfan, the third patrol chief, banged the table and roared.
"Brother Liang, what do you mean by asking me? I still want to ask you." Cheng Qianfan said with a gloomy face, "You came to my office and patted my desk. What kind of place do you think this is?"
"Cheng Qianfan, don't pretend to be confused. Your people arrested Huo Xiaomin and released him immediately." Liang Yuchun said angrily. Just now his second aunt came crying and said that her brother Huo Xiaomin was arrested by the patrol room.
After Liang Yuchun inquired a little, he found out that it was the third patrol and immediately came to investigate.
"Huo Xiaomin, this name sounds familiar." Cheng Qianfan turned to ask Big Tou Lu, "Deputy Inspector Lu, what's going on with this guy?"
"Report to the Inspector, my subordinates were ordered to search the Four Seasons Gambling Stalls. There were thugs who violently resisted the law. The leader of them was Huo Xiaomin." Datou Lu saluted and said.
"Thugs." Cheng Qianfan sneered and looked at Liang Yuchun, "Inspector Liang, you heard it too. They are thugs. According to Mr. Qin's instructions, if thugs resist the law, we even have the right to kill them on the spot."
As he said that, he glared at Da Toulu, "Why don't you shoot?"
"This person is uttering wild words, saying——"
"What did you say?" Cheng Qianfan asked coldly.
"He said that he is the brother-in-law of Inspector Liang of the Second Patrol. If we dare to touch him, we will be left with nothing to eat."
"It turns out he is Inspector Liang's brother-in-law." Cheng Qianfan looked at Liang Yuchun and said, "Brother Liang, you told me earlier and you didn't use violence." The latter words were directed at Datou Lu.
"The thugs resisted and were punished a little."
"Confused." Cheng Qianfan shouted coldly, "Why don't you call a doctor quickly? A broken leg is not a trivial matter."
"yes!"
Liang Yuchun was furious. He had just sent his men to inquire. His brother-in-law had only been slapped twice and his legs were not broken at all. Cheng Qianfan, the bastard, had something in his words. He was threatening him.
"Cheng Qianfan, don't go too far." Liang Yuchun slapped the table hard, "If Xiaomin has any shortcomings..."
"Brother Liang, don't be anxious, don't be anxious!" Cheng Qianfan smiled, holding a lighter in his hand to light a cigarette.
Liang Yuchun's expression softened slightly.
At this moment, Cheng Qianfan lit the cigarette and took a puff, "Isn't there nothing wrong with this?"
"Cheng Qianfan, Xiangniang, you——"
Cheng Qianfan's smiling face suddenly changed. He threw the cigarette at Liang Yuchun's face, followed by a kick, knocking Liang Yuchun to the ground.
"I'm in a bad mood today, don't fucking mess with me!" Cheng Qianfan stepped up and kicked me again, "Send the order, Siji Cai Gambling is suspected of harboring the gangster Jiang Mule, everyone should be arrested and brought to justice
!”
Inspector Xiao Cheng looked ferocious, "If any gangster resists arrest, he will be executed on the spot!"
"In addition, the thug Huo Xiaomin is an accomplice of Jiang Mulezi, so we will interrogate him strictly!" As he spoke, Cheng Qianfan bent down slightly and looked at Liang Yuchun lying on the ground, "Brother Liang, are you satisfied?"
"Cheng Qianfan, how dare you!" Liang Yuchun got up from the ground and grabbed Cheng Qianfan's collar.
Cheng Qianfan lowered his head and glanced at his collar, which was being grabbed, and looked at Liang Yuchun with a smile.
Even Liang Yuchun, who was always known for being domineering and sinister, felt terrified when he saw the smile of the young man in front of him. However, he knew that he could not retreat, not only because of the safety of his brother-in-law, but also because of his face!
"Cheng Qianfan, I'm warning you, let Huo Xiaomin go immediately, and stop harassing the good businessman Sijicai Gambling Stall immediately, otherwise, don't blame me for falling out."
"Brother Liang, haven't we fallen out yet?" Cheng Qianfan grabbed Liang Yuchun's right hand and took it away. He patted Liang Yuchun's face with his other hand and said coldly, "I told you, I'm very angry.
!”
As he spoke, he looked at Big Tou Lu with a gloomy face, "Deputy Inspector Lu, arrest the gangster Jiang Mule's accomplices, take action!"
