Wang Kangnian sat in the car with a gloomy expression.
"Did you see clearly who got on the bus?" he asked.
"Wearing a top hat, a mask on his face, and his windbreaker turned up, he got into the car so quickly that he couldn't see his face clearly." Xiao Si shook his head.
Ding Naifei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and asked, "Team leader, do you suspect there is something wrong with Lu Dazhang?"
"I'm not sure yet." Wang Kangqian shook his head lightly, "We'll find out everything after checking."
Wang Kangnian firmly believed that the assassination of Zou Fengqi was related to the Red Party "Chenzhou".
For more than a day, he has been studying the files. These are the top-secret files of the Party Affairs Investigation Department's investigation of the Red Party. The Party Affairs Investigation Department was taken over by the Japanese. They are now eating the food of the Japanese, and these files are also classified as special
The archives room of higher education.
Wang Kangnian focused on studying the recent action trajectory of ‘Chenzhou’.
This was the Terracotta Road shooting a year and a half ago.
The Red Party member who was "highly suspicious of Chenzhou" single-handedly rescued four Red Party members, including "Minister Wang" and A Hai.
This was also the only time he fought against the Red Party's "Chenzhou".
I studied the files over and over again, recalling the events at that time as if a movie was playing in my mind.
A person's name appeared in his mind:
Lu Dazhang, then the inspector of Xiafei Road in Xiafei District, French Concession.
…
After the shootout, Lu Dazhang arrived belatedly with his patrol unit.
Wang Kangnian also speculated about this at the time:
Lu Dazhang may have brought people to the scene early, but most of the patrolmen were afraid of death and waited until the gunfire was over before appearing in disguise to clean up the mess.
This was relatively reasonable and there was no doubt about it, so Wang Kangnian did not suspect anything wrong with Lu Dazhang at that time.
However, now that he had re-simulated the case at that time, Wang Kangnian had a suspicion about Lu Dazhang.
He arranged for his men to investigate secretly. According to the information obtained by the patrol office who followed Lu Dazhang at the time, Lu Dazhang had been leading the team and had never left the sight of his men. Therefore, Lu Dazhang could not be 'Chen Zhou'
.
However, a young patrolman named Fei Dai was tricked into saying:
The person suspected of being "Chenzhou" escaped over the wall. After Fei Yi saw it, he wanted to make a meritorious deed and chased him, but was stopped by Lu Dazhang, saying that he had seen it wrong. Other patrol officers also agreed that no one passed by. In addition, Lu Dazhang stopped him.
He also slapped him.
Wang Kangnian secretly thought that from the standpoint of Lu Dazhang and other patrol officers, they pretended not to see "Chen Zhou" because of the super strong force of this red party, who was greedy for life and afraid of death.
This is quite explainable.
There is no evidence that there is anything wrong with Lu Dazhang.
However, Wang Kangnian is extremely cautious in doing things, and he will not let go of any doubts.
What if?
What if Lu Dazhang is a red party member and an accomplice of "Chen Zhou", and he deliberately pretends to be afraid of death and openly lets the enemy escape?
Even if 'Chen Zhou' and the other Red Party members were caught by the Party Affairs Investigation Office, Lu Dazhang could appear at the right time, confront the Party Affairs Investigation Office, and demand that the Red Party members be taken away and handed over to the Concession Patrol Room for disposal.
.
Now, what Wang Kangnian has to do is to check the road. Whether this person is a human or a ghost will be clear after checking.
The reason why the underground party is so well hidden is because they have not been targeted. Once they are targeted, clues will eventually be revealed.
…
"Follow closely." Wang Kangnian said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" The driver nodded.
"Something was thrown." Ding Naifei suddenly shouted.
I only saw the rear window of the car in front of me open and two things thrown out.
One is burning, it should be a cigarette butt.
There is one thing I can't see clearly.
"Slow down!" Wang Kangnian's expression changed.
Slow down.
Before the car stopped, Ding Naifei quickly got out of the car, picked up the items left by the car in front, ran quickly, and returned to the car again.
"Team leader, it's the matchbox."
Ding Naifei turned around and handed the matchbox to Wang Kangnian.
…
"Empty." Wang Kangnian opened it and looked at it. It was empty.
"Speed up and keep up." Wang Kangnian warned, and then he raised his hand and Xiaosi handed him the flashlight.
This is a very ordinary Pegasus matchbox. The left side of the box is Pegasus Matches, the right side is the registered trademark, and the bottom is Jiangsu Shanghai Zhenxing Manufacturing Factory.
Apart from these, there are no other writings and no special marks.
Wang Kangnian frowned.
"When you've used up the match, just throw it away." Ding Naifei said.
Wang Kangnian said nothing, but what Ding Naifei said was indeed possible, and the possibility was extremely high.
However, just in case.
He handed the match box to Xiaosi casually, "Go back and check it."
"Following me." Lu Dazhang glanced at the rearview mirror and said.
"Eleven seconds!" Cheng Qianfan said.
Lu Dazhang nodded.
At this time, both of them understood that Lu Dazhang's suspicion was correct and that the other party was indeed following them.
Just now, Lu Dazhang accelerated and moved away from the other party, and then returned to normal speed.
The other party got out of the car, took away the match box, and then accelerated to catch up, which happened to be about ten to fifteen seconds.
If they didn't get off the car to get the matchbox, it would only take a few seconds to catch up again.
This shows that the other party is not only really following them, but also can basically exclude people from the world, most likely agents.
Only agents would be interested in what Cheng Qianfan threw out the window.
…
"Go to the warehouse at Mailan Pier." Cheng Qianfan said decisively.
The enemy is following Lu Dazhang, and they must find a reasonable reason for this "secret" meeting.
"Come on." Lu Dazhang said with a smile, "Thanks to 'Inspector Xiao Cheng' for letting me make another fortune."
Cheng Qianfan burst out laughing when he heard this.
The cooperation between him, Lao Huang and Lu Dazhang is very tacit.
The three of them had many secret conversations and prepared many plans for various unexpected situations.
As soon as Cheng Qianfan said he was going to the warehouse at Mailan Wharf, Lu Dazhang immediately knew what kind of response plan he should take.
Lu Dazhang had a wide acquaintance and had frequent contacts with those friends on the river and Taihu Lake.
Some friends will ask Lu Da Zhang to help them buy guns, ammunition and other ‘contraband’ on the black market.
A friend asked the road inspector to help him make connections to buy things, and he found Inspector Xiao Cheng, who had great powers and was also a well-known black market businessman in the French Concession. This made sense.
In view of the fact that the identity of the buyer was not visible to the public, it was quite reasonable for ‘Inspector Xiao Cheng’ to disguise himself and sneak out to see the buyer.
…
"Flying on the water."
"Floating on the water."
"Three Water Kings."
"Li Laosan."
The road patrol chief mentioned the names of several groups of water bandits who had always been in contact with the patrol house in Xiafei District, including the Shan Da Wang.
"Which one do you think is suitable?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Li Laosan." Lu Dazhang thought for a moment and said, "Li Laosan's troops had a conflict with the Japanese at the end of last year and were dispersed. Now they are recruiting new troops."
"A fight with the Japanese?" Cheng Qianfan became interested.
"Last year, the national army suffered a huge defeat and the Japanese pursued them all the way. Li Laosan recruited some defeated troops and was reported to the Japanese by the maintenance committee members. The Japanese regarded him as a national army and eliminated him."
Cheng Qianfan frowned slightly. He was now a Japanese agent, selling weapons and ammunition to people like 'Li Laosan' who had fought with the Japanese army. Once it was verified, it would have an impact on him. Of course, the impact would not be big. He
It is entirely possible to evade not knowing that this group of people had fought with the Japanese army.
Inspector Xiao Cheng was extremely greedy for money. If business came to his door, there was no reason not to do it.
Of course, it would be best if there are no hidden dangers.
The most important thing is that Cheng Qianfan believes in Lu Dazhang, and it is impossible for Lu Dazhang to think of anything he can think of.
"The information I got is that after Li Laosan fought with the Japanese, he was frightened and thought that the world was now dominated by the Japanese. He intended to join the Japanese." Lu Dazhang said with a smile.
"This old guy knows that only someone with a gun will be taken seriously. It seems that he plans to recruit troops and then defect to the Japanese, so as to find a good position with the Japanese."
Cheng Qianfan raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, "Then we really want to help Li Laosan build up his reputation."
Lu Dazhang understood and laughed.
"This old guy is suffering from being unable to contact the Japanese. He is afraid that the Japanese will kill him indiscriminately," he continued.
Cheng Qianfan raised his eyebrows and cupped his hands towards Lu Dazhang who was driving, "I also want to thank the Inspector of the Road for giving me the opportunity to make meritorious service in front of the Japanese."
"I also ask Inspector Xiao Cheng to say a few kind words for my friend Li in front of the Japanese." Lu Dazhang said with a smile.
