I don’t know since when, someone built a small shack at the corner of Yandli Alley to provide shelter for little beggars.
Some citizens think it is unsightly and want to demolish it.
The kind-hearted Bai Ruolan saw that the little beggar was pitiful and said a few words. Everyone immediately praised Mrs. Cheng for her kindness, and the shack was preserved.
Cheng Qianfan came out of the alley and walked straight to his car parked on the side of the road, but he glanced at the shack out of the corner of his eye.
If an experienced agent wanted to monitor Yendri, the shack would be the best observation point.
Amao gets up early every day, plays outside in the alley, and focuses on the movement in the shack.
As expected, all the little beggars had already left home to go to work.
A man wearing a somewhat shabby short-sleeved uniform occupies this place. He is holding a grass root in his mouth and a shabby aluminum lunch box in his hand. He is hiding in the shack and looking around casually.
Cheng Qianfan concluded that this person's purpose was surveillance and there was no plan for a violent attack.
He got into the car, started the car, and left.
Observing from the rearview mirror, Cheng Qianfan noticed a man getting into a rickshaw on the side of the road and followed him all the way.
Who could be following and monitoring me?
A spy from the patrol room?
Party Affairs Investigation Department?
Japanese?
Red party?
Or maybe someone from the Shanghai Station of the Secret Service?
Cheng Qianfan thought about it all the way.
It's very close from Yandeli to the Central Patrol Room No. 22, Xue Huali Road. Cheng Qianfan stepped on the accelerator and was there.
Entered the arresting hall.
Inspector Xiao Cheng asked his subordinates if anything was going on, and after receiving the answer "The world is at peace", he opened the door of his office and made a cup of tea.
Gently pulling down the blinds, Cheng Qianfan saw the stalker getting off the rickshaw and drinking tea at the tea stall opposite the gate of the patrol house.
He took out the telescope from the drawer and looked carefully.
This man was wearing a suit, with a watch on his wrist and gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. He was elegant and elegant.
"Here comes someone." Cheng Qianfan thought for a moment, opened the door, and shouted into the arresting hall.
"Inspector." Hou Pingliang ran over immediately.
"Have you seen that person?" Cheng Qianfan lowered the blinds and pointed at the stalker at the tea stall.
"I see." Hou Ping nodded.
"You know what to do," Cheng Qianfan said.
"I know, I will call Aunt Wu right now."
"Smart." Cheng Qianfan patted Hou Pingliang on the shoulder, "Go ahead."
…
Cheng Qianfan stood on the sidelines, watching the situation outside with interest.
It doesn't take a while.
An old lady came to the tea stall carrying a vegetable basket.
Tang Guoli took a sip of tea, then spit out the foam.
His eyes were fixed on the door of the central patrol room. The team leader ordered him to follow Cheng Qianfan 24 hours a day.
Tang Guoli is absolutely sure that this is purely unnecessary. Who is Cheng Qianfan? He is greedy for money, lustful, and ruthless. Can such a person be a red party member?
He glanced at the old lady walking over and ignored her.
At this moment, the old lady uttered an ouch and fell directly next to him.
He subconsciously wanted to get up and push the old lady away, but he saw the old lady grabbing his clothes, "Ouch, this is terrible, I killed someone."
Tang Guoli understood immediately that this was a serious matter.
"Old man, you have to speak with your conscience. You bumped into me yourself." Tang Guoli said patiently. As he spoke, he shouted to the people around him, "Please bear witness, this old man bumped into me by himself."
.”
Then, he realized something was wrong.
Not one of the people around him spoke up, but all retreated. Some even looked at him with pity.
"What's going on?" Hou Pingliang came over with two policemen carrying a baton.
"Officer, is this old lady cheating?" Tang Guoli shouted quickly.
"Is that what happened?" Hou Pingliang bumped the baton in his hand, looked around and asked.
No one answered.
Hou Pingliang was a little embarrassed. Aunt Wu had been aggressive recently, so it seemed that her bottom had been exposed a long time ago.
"I saw it. It was this man who stretched his legs and tripped the old man." A Sanguang code shouted.
Hou Pingliang nodded towards this person, showing appreciation.
The development of the matter did not go beyond the expectations of the onlookers at first. The patrol officer "enforced the law impartially" and made peace with the man, asking the man to pay a sum of money to compensate the old man.
Tang Guoli naturally refused.
Hou Pingliang was furious and wanted to arrest this person on the pretext of deliberately injuring others.
Seeing this, Tang Guoli had no choice but to agree to pay compensation.
Seeing that this man actually accepted the blackmail of fifty French coins, the onlookers were quite shocked.
Hou Pingliang was also a little surprised. Generally speaking, the other party would never be willing to pay so much money. Then he could take advantage of the situation and arrest this person. After entering the patrol room, this person could be manipulated by them.
However, surprise comes as a surprise. This person knows how to get money, which saves trouble. Anyway, the purpose of making money is achieved.
"Go ahead and be careful next time." Hou Pingliang put fifty French coins into Aunt Wu's hand and waved his hand at the unlucky guy chosen by the inspector.
Tang Guoli smiled and left.
Seeing the patrolman and the old woman leaving, everyone shook their heads and started talking.
"This man is so unlucky that even a cup of tea could lead to such misfortune." Someone said.
"Is this person stupid? He really paid for it."
"This is a smart man. Once you enter the patrol room, it won't be something that fifty French coins can solve."
…
Hou Pingliang, who returned to the arresting hall, came to report to Inspector Xiao Cheng.
"Inspector." Hou Pingliang placed forty-five yuan of French currency on the inspector's desk, and distributed the other five yuan to Aunt Wu.
Cheng Qianfan glanced at the money on the table and said, "Go buy two cigarettes and leave one for you to share."
"Okay." Hou Pingliang agreed happily and took the money to buy cigarettes.
Not the Red Party.
Cheng Qianfan came to a conclusion.
The possibility of spies in the French Concession is also unlikely.
The spies in the French Concession are also very knowledgeable about this kind of business. People like Aunt Wu are not a secret among the detectives. If they are spies, they will not be fooled by this.
Then, the only possibilities left are the Party Affairs Investigation Division, the Japanese and the Shanghai Station of the Secret Service.
He has always been more pro-Japanese.
Therefore, relatively speaking, the Party Affairs Investigation Office and the Secret Service Shanghai Station are more likely.
…
"Idiot." Wang Kangnian cursed.
Tang Guoli had a drooped face and lowered his head to be scolded.
The mission was messed up and his identity was exposed. He could no longer monitor Cheng Qianfan at the door of the patrol room and had no choice but to return.
Not only that, the fifty yuan in French currency was his own money.
Who the hell would have thought that there would be people touching porcelain at the door of the patrol room.
No, this must be the old guy colluding with the patrolman to set up a trap.
"Get out!" Wang Kangnian cursed.
Tang Guoli opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to speak after all. He was about to leave when he heard the team leader shout, "You idiot, go and report the debt to Xiaosi."
"Thank you, team leader, thank you, team leader." Tang Guoli quickly thanked the team leader.
"Brother Kangnian, in your opinion, is this a coincidence? Or has one of our people been exposed?" He Huan frowned and asked.
"It's mostly a coincidence. This kind of thing is too common in Shanghai. These police officers..." As he said that, he shook his head.
"This brother is no longer suitable to follow. We need to replace him." He Huan nodded. It was just a coincidence.
After that, for several days in a row, the people sent by Wang Kangnian to follow Cheng Qianfan repeatedly had troubles. Three old ladies got into trouble one after another, and a total of more than 100 French currency was extorted from them, causing the agents of the action team to complain endlessly.
"Mother Xi, this is the old lady's porcelain gang that is targeting her!" Ding Naifei yelled angrily. Today he dressed up in disguise and went out to follow Cheng Qianfan himself, but the old lady also blackmailed her into giving her four hundred legal dollars.
Wang Kangnian and He Huan also frowned. It was obvious that they were now basically inclined to believe that their tracking had been exposed, and that this bastard Cheng Qianfan was deliberately tormenting them.
However, Bai Pang, who went out to inquire about the news, came back and reported:
The third patrol officer of the Central Police Station was a bad police officer and trained a group of old ladies to blackmail them with new faces.
"The brothers all have strange faces, and they are all neatly dressed," Bai Pang said.
When Wang Kangnian heard this, he understood.
Because Cheng Qianfan had a different identity and often visited high-end places, for the purpose of tracking, the people he sent out to follow Cheng Qianfan were all in suits and leather shoes and dressed like rich people.
Who would have thought that because of this, he would be targeted by the patrolmen, which is equivalent to giving them money!
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that their tracking has been discovered by Cheng Qianfan, but...
"Now that the matter has come to this, even if Cheng Qianfan was not alert before, he should be alert now." He Huan said.
Wang Kangnian nodded. Strange faces had appeared near the patrol room for several days. Cheng Qianfan would have realized something was wrong if he was not stupid.
"Cancel the tracking of Cheng Qianfan." Wang Kangnian decisively ordered, "Specialize in monitoring Yandli."
…
The time has come to early September.
The Songhu War also entered a new stage.
A few days ago, the elite troops of the Japanese army, the Fukuoka 12th Brigade of the Kurume 12th Division; the 22nd Kuijima Brigade of the Zentsuji 11th Division; and the 21st Yamaguchi Brigade of the Hiroshima 5th Division.
; The 29th Shizuoka Brigade of the 3rd Nagoya Division; the 18th Tsuruga Brigade of the 9th Kanazawa Division; the 36th Kagoshima Brigade of the Kumamoto 6th Division.
A total of three divisions arrived in Shanghai.
After the Japanese reinforcements arrived, the general offensive began. It started from Liuhe, passed through Luodian, Baoshan, Shizilin, Paotai, Wusong, turned into Yunzaobang, Zhanghuabang, Jiangwan, and formed a line at the bottom of North Sichuan Road to implement the entire line.
attack.
The national army was forced to switch from offense to defense.
In addition, Japanese naval reinforcements have also arrived.
On the Huangpu River and the Yangtze River Estuary, Japanese aircraft carriers and dozens of warships lined up in a row and opened fire at the urban area of Shanghai. The Chinese troops suffered heavy casualties, and many civilians also died.
On this day, the agent who had been pretending to be a beggar to monitor the shack in Yandeli was 'finally' discovered by a nearby beggar about the 'dove occupying the magpie's nest'. The man was surrounded and beaten by more than a dozen young beggars and fled in panic.
When Wang Kangnian heard the news, he was furious.
Same day.
The British and Japanese are still arguing over Xu Gesen's bombing by Japanese military planes.
The Chinese people were watching the excitement.
However, everyone also saw the fact clearly that the British were just shouting and did not dare to really fall out with the Japanese.
Nanjing.
According to the instructions of Chang Kaishen, Chairman of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, the Nationalist Government held the "Prime Minister's Memorial Week" activities at the Central Military Academy of the Army.
Wang Zhihe does not support this event.
His reason is very straightforward. The traitor has not been removed yet, so there is a safety risk.
In addition, Japanese planes were bombing Risheng. It was too dangerous to engage in such activities at this time.
"The Japanese planes are so powerful, why are they holding a military parade at this time?" Wang Zhihe came to Qian Dajun and complained.
"It's not a military parade, it's a nationwide mobilization to boost morale," Qian Dajun said.
"There is no need for mobilization. As soon as we talk about resisting Japan, the whole country has already been mobilized."
However, complaints were complaints, Wang Zhihe did not dare to neglect, ordered the attendant room to be on full alert, and found Dai Chunfeng and Xue Yingzhen, whom he had always disliked, and asked the secret service to strengthen security work. At the same time, Gu Zhenglun's military police also began to serve as army officers
The school is heavily fortified.
On this day at the Central Military Academy, all the teachers and students lined up in the playground early, and officials from all walks of life of the Nationalist Government gathered.
Cars gathered on Huangpu Road in front of the school in great numbers.
The army, police, military, and special forces were all dispatched. From Zhongshan East Road to Huangpu Road, there were one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps to implement full martial law.
Accompanied by his wife, Chang Kaishen tidied up his military uniform, read the speech draft prepared by Chen Wendan, and prepared to give instructions on stage.
At this moment, a car suddenly drove up to the entrance of the military academy.
"Documents." The military police immediately came forward to question.
"The Executive Yuan's car didn't see the traffic order, so there's no need to check." A person in the car muttered.
"Routine inspection." The military police refused to give an inch.
Huiji, the general duty officer who had always been vigilant, led people around.
The driver immediately started the car, turned around, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed into the campus.
Huiji was shocked, grabbed the phone and made a broadcast: I am Huiji, the general officer on duty. Attention everyone, a suspicious person drove into the campus and we are trying our best to arrest him. No one is allowed to leave without permission. Principal, please delay entering the venue.
…
Suddenly, the scene was in an uproar.
A few minutes later, the radio sounded: the suspicious person fled in a car, and the meeting continued.
After this incident, although the "Prime Minister's Memorial Week" event was finally held, it has already made Chairman Chang Kaishen angry.
"Damn it, Mom, there are so many people, but we can't catch a few suspicious elements." The commissioned generals Wang Zhihe, Gu Zhenglun, Dai Chunfeng, and Xue Yingzhen called to the leader's residence and reprimanded them head-to-toe.
Gu Zhenglun, Dai Chunfeng, and Xue Yingzhen looked at each other, and then stepped forward to report, saying that they had found out that the vehicle driven by this group of suspicious persons was the vehicle of Executive Yuan Secretary Huang Junzhi.
"Huang Jun?" Chang Kaishen asked in surprise.
"Yes, principal." Dai Chunfeng stepped out and said, "In fact, we have already suspected Huang Jun before and have been monitoring this person."
"What did you find?" Chang Kaishen asked.
"Except for today's incident about Huang Jun's car, there is no other news." Gu Zhenglun said.
"Why didn't you report it to me earlier?" Chang Kaishen asked angrily.
"Because the matter involves an important party and state official..." Xue Yingzhen said. Huang Jun is the secretary of the Executive Yuan. This is a confidential secretary at the rank of junior minister. He is at the same level as the ministers of the central ministries and can be regarded as an important party and state official.
"Don't tell me this. Anyone involved in Tongri will be severely punished." Chang Kaishen said angrily.
The three of them looked at each other, what they were waiting for was Chang Kaishen's words.
Chang Kaishen was still angry and scolded several people again, then waved his hands and ordered them to retreat.
Wang Zhihe stopped the three people in the corridor and asked them why they didn't inform him in advance since they already had suspicions. After a big quarrel with them, he left angrily.
Chang Kaishen looked gloomy and sat on the sofa, drinking water and sulking.
At this time, the guard in the attendant's room reported and Dai Chunfeng asked to see him.
"If you didn't catch the spy, why would you come back?" Chang Kaishen scolded him.
Dai Chunfeng said nothing, let Chang Kaishen scold him, and stood respectfully.
"Commissioner, in fact, the Secret Service suspected Huang Jun of collaborating with the enemy a week ago. Since then, we have been keeping Huang Jun under surveillance," Dai Chunfeng said.
"Didn't you report it just now?" Chang Kaishen frowned and asked.
"When I go back to the principal, there are some inside stories, and the student thinks it is necessary to report them to you separately," Dai Chunfeng said.
"Huh?" Chang Kaishen looked at Dai Chunfeng in confusion.
Dai Chunfeng took out a telegram from his body and handed it to Chang Kaishen with both hands. "This is the secret telegram sent by Cheng Qianfan a week ago. Through this secret telegram, we analyzed it and were able to locate Huang Jun."
"Is this happening?" Chang Kaishen was surprised. He didn't understand why this matter was related to the young man Cheng Qianfan. He took the message and looked at it carefully.
Dai Chunfeng stood upright, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, he had the 'Blue Bird', while everyone else was being scolded, he also had a trump card to please the old man.
What the old man likes most is when his students make progress and achieve success. If this student is a fellow student from Zhejiang, he will be even more delighted.
