"Do you know about Qi Datou's drunken fall and death?" Cheng Qianfan suddenly asked.
"I know." Li Hao nodded. He had just returned to the patrol room and didn't know about Lu Jiufan's plot to set up Yang Qianli. He was a little surprised why Brother Fan suddenly asked Qi Datou.
"How did he die? Is it confirmed that he slipped and fell to death while drunk?" Cheng Qianfan asked again.
"That's what the legend says." Li Hao said, "However, there is another theory that Qi Datou offended someone and may have been killed by someone."
"Offended someone? Who did you offend?"
Li Hao shook his head. He didn't know the specific situation. A small gang leader would just die if he died. It's not surprising that so many people die in Shanghai every day.
"Brother Fan, do you want me to go check it out?"
"No need, I've ordered Hou Pingliang to go check it out."
Cheng Qianfan shook his head. The top priority right now is to sanction Zou Fengqi and attack the Japanese horse farm on Huade Road. Don't cause unnecessary problems for the time being.
…
Qin Di walked through the snow and arrived at the door of Jin Mansion.
In fact, he was reluctant to come to see Jin Kemu.
Regarding Jin Kemu, he was conflicted in his heart.
Jin Kemu is a distant relative of his family and has always taken good care of their family. Qin Di is grateful for this.
However, in Qin Di's mind, Jin Kemu is a reactionary patrolman, a target of revolution, and must be overthrown.
His current superior, Zhou Hongsu, asked him, who are you?
Qin Di said, I am Qin Di.
Zhou Hongsu asked again, who is Qin Di?
Qin Di said that Qin Di is a revolutionary warrior who is loyal to the party and the people.
Zhou Hongsu asked again, what is our party’s current anti-Japanese policy?
Qin Di said that it is to unite all forces that can be united to establish a united front of the entire nation to jointly fight against the Japanese invaders.
Zhou Hongsu then asked, is Jin Kemu Chinese?
Qin Di replied that he is Chinese.
Zhou Hongsu asked again, is Jin Kemu a Chinese willing to resist Japanese aggression?
Qin Di thought about it and replied, it should be considered.
Zhou Hongsu frowned, what do you mean?
Qin Di then replied, yes, Jin Kemu has a tough attitude towards Japan and is an anti-Japanese person who can be united.
Maybe Zhou Hongsu also felt that his attitude was a bit bad as he kept asking questions. After a while, he softened his tone and asked Qin Di: How does Jin Kemu compare to Cheng Qianfan?
Qin Di immediately said that if Jin Kemu is gray, Cheng Qianfan is a black-hearted person who is darker than a crow. Cheng Qianfan is so bad that he oozes pus. He is the most reactionary guy in the patrol room and will become a traitor sooner or later.
Qin Di's tone was full of revolutionary enthusiasm and struggle consciousness, and his attitude towards Zhou Hongsu was as follows:
Give him a gun, and he is willing to sacrifice himself, one life for another, to get rid of this would-be traitor Cheng Qianfan immediately!
Zhou Hongsu then said, are you still refusing to contact and unite with Jin Kemu?
Qin Di smiled bitterly and said, "When you say this, I really think Jin Kemu is a good person."
…
Qin Di looked around.
Ring the doorbell.
The maid opened the door.
"Mother Chang." Qin Di greeted politely.
"Adi is here, sir, waiting for you in the study."
Chang's mother helped Qin Di hang up her windbreaker and hat.
Qin Di nodded and asked casually, "Where's Alai?"
Alai is Jin Shuilai, the youngest son of Jin Kemu.
"I'm going to my classmate's house."
…
Qin Di went up to the second floor and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
When Qin Di entered the door, he saw Jin Kemu drinking tea and reading the newspaper.
"Adi is here, how about you try my tea?" Jin Kemu greeted warmly.
The two exchanged pleasantries.
Qin Di was a little cautious.
Jin Kemu then smiled and said, "You kid, I haven't seen you for a while, why are you so reserved about going out?"
Qin Di said in her heart, that is because I have seen more clearly the world of cannibalism and the true face of the exploiting class and the ruling class.
However, he had to admit that compared to Cheng Qianfan, a guy who was full of evil and caused great public outrage, Jin Kemu was indeed pretty good.
At least Jin Kemu has a tough attitude towards the Japanese and is willing to resist Japan!
When he thought about it, he felt that Jin Kemu was pretty good and someone he could fight for and save.
"Uncle Jin, it's been a while since I've been here, and I can't let go." Qin Di said.
"When you peed on my leg when you were little, you didn't look like you couldn't let go." Jin Kemu laughed and said.
…
"You kid, tell me what you want to do with me." Jin Kemu smiled and said, "Let us agree first that you are not allowed to mention Cheng Qianfan."
Qin Di had a deep prejudice against Cheng Qianfan. After being kicked out of the patrol room by Cheng Qianfan, he went to Jin Kemu, bitterly recounted Cheng Qianfan's evil deeds, and persuaded Jin Kemu to take down Cheng Qianfan's position as patrol chief.
"Uncle Jin, you know, I don't dislike Cheng Qianfan because of personal grudges. People like him are greedy for money and lust, bully the people, and are evil-minded. They will become traitors sooner or later." Qin Di still couldn't hold it back and said.
Two sentences.
"You kid, you called me and said you have an urgent matter. Is this what you call an urgent matter?" Jin Kemu glared at him and said.
"Uncle Jin, don't be angry, I won't mention that guy." Qin Di said with a bitter smile.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Jin Kemu slowly took a sip of tea and said.
…
"Uncle Jin, I am not representing myself during this trip." Qin Di said with a solemn expression.
"Then who do you represent?" Jin Kemu had already guessed Qin Di's identity and looked at Qin Di with a half-smile.
"Uncle Jin, you should have already guessed." Qin Di said with a serious face, "Yes, I am a member of the Red Party. I am here on behalf of our party this time to tell you something."
"You kid, you really dare to say that. You are not afraid that I will arrest you." Jin Kemu chuckled.
"I'm afraid I won't come." Qin Di said, paused, and seemed to feel that what he said was too harsh. After searching for words in his mind, he squeezed out a smile and said, "Besides, I don't care about Jin.
Uncle, you have confidence."
"Shit!" Jin Kemu cursed, "Two years ago, you would have thought I would have arrested you."
Jin Kemu looked at Qin Di and thought that this guy's speech and behavior were a bit better than before, but he was still too young.
I really thought I, Lao Jin, was so dim that I couldn't see that fake smile you just had.
He was also curious as to why such a young man was sent to see him.
You know, Qin Di is obviously not the kind of suitable lobbyist who is calm, eloquent, and good at dancing.
…
Jin Kemu leaned back and leaned on the back of the chair, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Our party has received news that the Japanese are going to take action against Mr. Qin," Qin Di said.
"Then you should talk to Qin Detai." Jin Kemu shook his head and said with a smile.
His heart is not as calm as it seems on the surface. Are the Japanese going to touch Tan Detai?
How to move?
Qin Detai is the chief inspector of the Central Police Station, and he is one of the most senior officials in the French Concession Office. Why did the Japanese touch Qin Detai?
The French would not agree in the first place.
"Uncle Jin, our party is sincere and informs you of important information." Qin Di said seriously, "Uncle Jin, please treat me with sincerity."
"Okay!" Jin Kemu looked at Qin Di seriously for the first time. At this time, Qin Di's expression was extremely serious. When he said 'our party', the boy's eyes seemed to light up.
Jin Kemu sat up straight and said, "Please tell me."
…
"Our party has received information that Qin Detai's true identity is the deputy director of the Shanghai District of the National Party Affairs Investigation Office." Qin Di said, "The Japanese plan to use this matter to cause trouble and force Qin Detai to be dismissed."
"What?" Jin Kemu looked surprised.
What surprised him was not that Qin Detai was a member of the Kuomintang and had worked with Qin Detai for so long. Jin Kemu had some suspicions that Qin Detai was a member of the Kuomintang.
What surprised him was that Qin Detai's identity turned out to be the deputy director of the Shanghai District of the Party Affairs Investigation Department.
He now believed what Qin Di said that the Japanese were going to attack Qin Detai.
If the Japanese inform the French Concession of Qin Detai's identity, Qin Detai's position as chief inspector will inevitably be taken away.
The French don't like the Japanese, but they will never allow the position of Chief Inspector of the Central Police Station to be occupied by a "spy" from the national government.
If the Japanese want to get rid of Qin Detai, they must take follow-up actions.
The position of Chief Inspector?!
Jin Kemu figured it out in an instant!
…
His expression was solemn.
The doubts that had been bothering him for a long time were solved:
The Japanese had a serial plan to get rid of Qin Detai and free up the position of chief inspector. Their next goal was to get the position of chief inspector.
As the deputy chief inspector of the Central Patrol Room, Jin Kemu is the most powerful contender for the post of chief inspector of the Central District.
And he has always had a tough attitude towards the Japanese.
Therefore, the Japanese decided to attack him secretly, hoping to remove him as a stumbling block.
Jin Kemu's eyes softened when he looked at Qin Di. As Qin Di said, the Red Party came to see him with sincerity. This news was timely for him!
He now understood why the Red Party sent Qin Di, a stupid young man, to see him.
Nothing but sincerity!
Qin Di is his relative and junior, and Jin Kemu knows Qin Di well and knows that Qin Di's temperament is not a person who lies and deceives.
Such a young junior Qin Di shows the sincerity of the Red Party. This is the way to win trust!
…
"It seems that Uncle Jin has understood the importance of this matter." Qin Di said, "My superior asked me to remind Uncle Jin that the Japanese have touched Qin Detai, and the next step may be to attack you, Uncle Jin."
It's not possible, it's a dirty trick behind his back, Jin Kemuxin said.
He also captured a piece of information. The Red Party had no idea what it had to do with someone spying on him, and the purpose was to attack him.
However, the Red Party was able to immediately judge from the fact that the Japanese wanted to touch Tan Detai, guess that the Japanese wanted to touch him, and took the initiative to show up to warn him.
This further demonstrates the sincerity of the Red Party.
"Jin has been in the patrol room for so many years and has also arrested red gangsters. I didn't expect that your gang would ignore the past..." Jin Kemu sighed.
"Before coming, my superior asked me to give a message to Uncle Jin." Qin Di said.
"Please tell me." Jin Kemu said with a serious expression.
"We are all Chinese, and those who are willing to resist Japan are all friends of our party. Those who were friends before are now old friends. Those who did not make friends before are now not too late, and they will be new friends in the future.
Mr. Jin Kemu has a tough attitude towards Japan. He is a Chinese with integrity and a patriot worthy of respect. Please Comrade Qin Di convey our party’s respect to Mr. Jin Kemu!” Qin Di solemnly said.
…
The next day.
It's not time to get off work yet.
The setting sun after the snow passed through the glass window and cast a golden glow on the desk.
The police officers saw "Inspector Xiao Cheng" starting to "dress up" in the office.
Everyone was guessing which beauty the inspector was going to have a secret meeting with today.
Is it that charming and alluring Ms. Ying?
Or the beautiful bookstore proprietress Ms. Zhu?
Or is it the pretty little red girl from Yu Chunxi who sings and sings songs?
Or maybe a foreign girl with big breasts and a big butt that no one knows about?
The incident of Inspector Xiao Cheng's fight with the blond foreign horse in the inn was widely spread among the people. Some tabloids even reported on it at the time, which made people blush after reading it.
Cheng Qianfan got off work early. Inspector Cheng, who was in a suit and leather suit, seemed to be sprayed with perfume. Although it was not too strong, you could still smell it.
Hair wax was also applied to his head, making him look even more handsome.
The police officers further concluded that Inspector Xiao Cheng must have gone to have a secret meeting with his lover.
…
Half an hour later, the car stopped in a secluded place.
Cheng Qianfan got off the car.
At this time, he was no longer wearing a suit and leather shoes, but a blue cloth coat.
The car drove away quickly, and Cheng Qianfan walked quickly for about a quarter of an hour and arrived at a Shikumen residence.
He stepped forward in two steps and knocked lightly on the door.
"Who is it?" A woman's voice came from inside.
"I came from Hangzhou to look for my cousin Wu Fangru." Cheng Qianfan said in a slightly hoarse voice.
The door opened.
Cheng Qianfan nodded towards Zhou Ru.
"Team leader, the water is ready." Zhou Ru said immediately.
Cheng Qianfan walked straight towards the inner room, where a large wooden barrel was placed, and the hot water in the barrel was emitting steam.
He glanced at Zhou Ru.
Zhou Ru didn't understand what it meant.
"Do you want to stay and give me a bath?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
Zhou Ru was greatly embarrassed, turned around and closed the door with a sigh and left.
…
Cheng Qianfan stripped naked and entered the barrel.
About twenty minutes later, Inspector Xiao Cheng came out of the bath and took the clothes Zhou Ru had prepared long ago and changed into them.
This is a relatively simple suit, commonly known as "student uniform".
This kind of clothing does not use lapels. It only has a narrow and low stand-up collar, which is fastened with buttons when worn, so ties and bow ties are not needed.
Under the clothes, there are two hidden pockets on the left and right sides, and an open pocket on the left chest.
Wearing this kind of clothing, Inspector Xiao Cheng looks like a very handsome college student at a glance.
Zhou Ru was like a puppy, sniffing and walking around Cheng Qianfan, inhaling sharply.
"There's no taste anymore." Zhou Ru said seriously.
…
Yiyuan.
It's getting late.
Today is the day of the dog race. People come in cars, rickshaws, and ordinary people who don't have much money in their pockets and can only work hard on their feet.
Cheng Qianfan looked out of the window, his eyes resting on the 'parking lot' of the dog running track.
It is said to be a parking lot, but in fact it is a large area of relatively flat yellow land.
Cheng Qianfan raised his wrist and looked at the time.
He put on white gloves, opened the wooden box next to him, and took out a medium-grade rifle from inside.
He gently stroked the gun with both hands, but the cold barrel made his heart feel hot.
Cheng Qianfan carefully checked the bullets and found that the warheads of several bullets had been engraved with crosses in advance.
He raised his wrist again and looked at the time.
Cheng Qianfan silently pressed the bullet into the magazine.
"Click."
A soft sound.
A dark muzzle appeared on the window sill, pointing at the 'parking lot'.
