Cheng Qianfan went out from the small door of the patrol room, walked on the asphalt road, and came to an alley.
The old blind man who played the erhu was eating sesame cakes. He took a mouthful of sesame cakes and a sip of water. Some sesame cake residue fell on the ground. The old blind man couldn't see it, but he seemed to be able to feel it.
He lowered his head, groped on the ground with his hands, pinched some dust and put it into his mouth, took a sip of water and swallowed it.
"You ate dirt." Cheng Qianfan said.
"Inspector Cheng is here, please take a seat." The old blind man quickly stood up and let out the horse he was sitting on.
Cheng Qianfan was not polite, took the maza, and sat down with a golden sword.
"Let's talk." Inspector Cheng leaned against the wall. He lit a cigarette, took a puff, looked up at the sky, and showed a contented expression.
"That person should be in his thirties or forties, and he speaks with a northern accent." The old blind man thought and said.
"Can you tell the accent from the north?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Hebei? Peiping?" The old blind man took a bite of the sesame seed cake and said, then he shook his head, "It's a bit like Peiping dialect, but not too similar."
"Outsiders?" Cheng Qianfan thought for a while and asked.
"A bit like it." The old blind man nodded.
"What else?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"I exchanged fifty cents for one legal currency from Lao Hu," said the old blind man. Lao Hu was the tea stall owner.
With that said, the old blind man took out a legal coin from his body and handed it to Cheng Qianfan.
Cheng Qianfan took it and looked at it carefully. It was an ordinary one-yuan legal currency, with nothing special about it.
However, he still put away the one yuan of French currency, took out two more French yuan of French currency from his wallet and handed it over, "Well done, I'll reward you."
"Thank you." The old blind man took the French currency and fumbled with it with his rough fingers before saying with a smile on his face.
Cheng Qianfan stood up, stuffed a cigarette into the old blind man's mouth, turned around and left without saying anything else.
The old blind man took out the cigarette from his mouth, took it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, showing a look of joy, and then put it behind his ear.
Listening to the sound of Inspector Cheng's departure gradually fading away, the old blind man bit the sesame seed cake in his mouth, clasped his fists in his hands, then pulled the little Mazar over and sat down on it, showing a satisfied smile.
The winter sun shone on his old body. The old blind man finished the sesame cakes in several bites, then habitually pinched the dust from the ground and ate it into his mouth. He drank a few sips of water, stood up, picked up his erhu, and walked along the wall at an incredible speed.
Not slow.
…
Cheng Qianfan returned to the third patrol inspector's office and called Lu Jiufan in.
"Auntie Gu, ten yuan of legal currency will be deducted this month." Cheng Qianfan said coldly.
"Something happened at Aunt Gu's house..." Lu Jiufan pleaded. Aunt Gu's family has always performed well and is a capable person under his command. Otherwise, she would not be assigned to the tea stall.
"If something happens, you should be punished. If you can't do it, get out." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "There are many old women who are willing to do this."
Lu Jiufan looked at the inspector's livid face. He didn't dare to plead for his old lady's porcelain team members anymore. He could only curse bitterly, "This old immortal deserves it!"
He had already heard that a new face came to the tea stall earlier. After eating two bowls of tea, he paid with one yuan of French currency and rewarded the old blind man who played the erhu.
It's a pity that Aunt Gu, who is in charge of the porcelain making business at this tea stall, is not on duty today because her grandson is sick.
This was a rare fat sheep, but he let it go like this. Lu Jiufan thought about it and felt very distressed.
"Get out." Inspector Xiao Cheng frowned and said coldly.
Lu Jiufan quickly left the office and gently closed the door.
He was getting more frustrated now, and the inspector looked very angry, which proved that the fat sheep missed today should be very rich.
…
Cheng Qianfan shook his head, what a pity.
The old blind man is a real blind man, not a fake blind man who cheats and deceives.
It is precisely because he is truly blind that no one will take precautions.
The old blind man couldn't see that, according to the usual practice, there was also the backhand of the Gu family's aunt at the tea stall.
What a coincidence, that Aunt Gu is not on duty today.
Of course, other people eating tea at the tea stall, including the stall owner, have naturally seen that person, but it is not as convenient as his own subordinates.
At this time, Li Hao knocked on the door outside.
"Inspector, it's me."
"Come in."
When Li Hao came in, he saw Brother Fan studying a one-yuan French currency.
"What did you find out?" Cheng Qianfan asked without raising his head.
"That man is not tall, about four feet six inches," Li Hao said. "He has short hair, wears a robe and cotton coat, and speaks with a northern accent."
"Where did this man go after he left the tea stall?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"I asked around and found out that this man called a rickshaw and the driver was Ma Fei." Li Hao said, "Ma Fei may have gone somewhere else to make a living and hasn't come back yet."
"As soon as Ma Fei comes back, I'll ask questions." Cheng Qianfan raised his head and said.
"yes!"
…
Cheng Qianfan picked up the one-yuan French currency, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it.
He looked thoughtful and handed the legal currency to Li Hao casually, "Smell it and see if it has a dull smell."
Li Hao took it, smelled it carefully, and nodded, "Yes, if you smell it carefully, it does have a very bland smell."
Both of them frowned and thought.
Banknotes are usually placed close to the body, and the smell on the banknotes has strong reference value and directionality:
What is the living environment of this person?
working environment?
Or have you been to a special place that has such a strong smell that it can leave a residual mark?
The smell is somewhat familiar, but it is too bland for people to judge immediately.
At this time, Cheng Qianfan caught a glimpse of Lao Huang, wearing a white coat, sitting at the door of the medical room basking in the sun.
He brought the banknote close to the tip of his nose and smelled it carefully again:
It smells like bland disinfectant water.
For no reason, perhaps because he had been thinking about the fact that Sanbonjiro might have been to the police hospital, Cheng Qianfan immediately associated this man with the Terracotta Road Police Hospital in his mind.
Of course, this is just a subconscious guess. It may be wrong, it may be right, and further confirmation is needed.
"Find Ma Fei and ask where that person went." Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression, "Pay attention to confidentiality and safety."
"Understood." Li Hao nodded. From Brother Fan's expression and the second time he issued an order on this matter, he realized the importance of this matter.
…
When Ruan Zhiyuan arrived, Lou Lianxiang was watching Hou Pingliang talking to his little maid with great interest.
Naturally, she could tell that the patrolman nicknamed "Little Monkey" liked her maid.
Lou Lianxiang also asked someone to inquire secretly, and found out that Hou Pingliang had a pretty good reputation during the patrol, and although he had some troubles, he did not have any serious evil deeds.
The only thing that made Lou Lianxiang feel worried was that this person was a subordinate of Cheng Qianfan, a greedy and lustful guy.
Hou Pingliang was telling stories to make Ajuan happy.
What he was talking about was that the Miss Kong family made a big fuss in Shanghai a few years ago. Because she was surrounded by soldiers at the racecourse, she complained directly to Chang Kai. As a result, the dignified commander of the Shanghai Security Command was punished and transferred out of the gold and silver mine of Shanghai.
things.
Hou Pingliang only heard his colleagues talk about this matter in their spare time, and it was just hearsay.
What he said is that there is a match but there is no match.
Ajuan listened with great interest. Miss Kong, the chairman of the committee, and the commander of the Shanghai Garrison Command were all too far away from her. She didn’t expect that the little monkey knew about these big shots. This made Ajuan still treat Hou Pingliang.
Quite impressive.
Lou Lianxiang, who was listening on the side, smiled.
This little monkey is boasting so much that there is no limit to what he can say.
Miss Kong Er is a princess. In a word, Chairman Standing Committee sent his personal bodyguards to rescue her, and then the imperial edict (telegram) came. The dignified Shanghai garrison commander was so frightened that he peed his pants. This kid is really good at telling nonsense.
…
Listening, listening, Lou Lianxiang yawned and felt bored.
She thought of her current situation again.
She is worried about Ruan Zhiyuan.
In order to protect her, her husband was forced to take refuge with the Japanese. This moved the woman so much that she became even more devoted to the man.
However, when you are a traitor, you forget your ancestors, and you will not be able to enter your ancestors' graves even after you die.
Lou Lianxiang was extremely worried about Ruan Zhiyuan.
She is also feeling sorry for herself for her miserable life.
Lou Lianxiang was thinking, if she died, would her master not be threatened by the Japanese?
However, the thought of dying made her a little scared.
She is not afraid of death, she is afraid of pain.
At this moment, the phone rang.
Hou Pingliang, who was telling a story, was about to help Ajuan answer the phone attentively. Seeing this, Lou Lianxiang quickly got ahead of the two of them, stepped forward and picked up the phone.
"Okay, I understand." Lou Lianxiang said softly.
After hanging up the phone, Lou Lianxiang looked at Hou Pingliang.
The little monkey was very sensible and smiled, "Ms. Lou, you are busy, so I will leave first."
As he said that, he looked at the maid Ajuan reluctantly. He wanted to say something flattering and affectionate, but when he came to his mouth, he said, "I will take you to eat live beads next time."
Ajuan stamped her foot, turned around, and ignored Hou Pingliang.
Hou Pingliang blushed, put on his police hat, and left as if running away.
He didn't notice that when Lou Lianxiang behind him heard the words "living beads", his eyes were dull and dull.
…
Cheng Qianfan pulled his armchair over and placed it by the window.
Inspector Cheng Xiao sat on a chair, trimming a cigar slowly, and glanced at the yard through the window from the corner of his eye.
He saw Hou Pingliang coming in from the door with some worry.
Cheng Qianfan's heart moved.
The little monkey is an optimistic person by nature. The only person who can make him worry about gains and losses is the little maid Ajuan next to Lou Lianxiang.
"Hou Pingliang, come here." Inspector Xiao Cheng called from the window.
…
In the office.
Cheng Qianfan looked at Hou Pingliang, who was a little wilted, and asked jokingly, "We just went to see Ajuan? You didn't ask Ajuan to eat live beads again, did you?"
He was just teasing. Unexpectedly, Hou Pingliang's face fell even more after hearing this.
Cheng Qianfan couldn't laugh or cry. Why didn't this kid have a long memory? The last time he invited the little girl to eat live beads, the little girl was so frightened that she dared to mention this.
"Brother Fan, will Ajuan ignore me in the future?" Hou Pingliang said with a sad face.
"Cheer up, it's just a woman, that's all." Cheng Qianfan scolded, looking at this guy who was troubled by ignorant love, and said angrily, "Tell me what happened, and I'll see what happened.
What's going on? I can help you with this."
When Hou Pingliang heard this, his face suddenly became much better.
Yes, the inspector is a good at finding flowers and asking for help. With the inspector's help, he will definitely be able to find a solution and make Ajuan no longer angry.
"You, you, Ajuan is afraid of eating live beads. It's not like you don't know. Don't mention this again in the future." Cheng Qianfan said with hatred that iron cannot be replaced by steel.
Hou Pingliang had a grimace on his face. He didn't know what happened to him at that time, and he said those words as soon as his brain twitched.
"Okay, don't worry. Since Ajuan is willing to listen to your story, it means she is still willing to get along with you. Just be careful in the future." Cheng Qianfan said.
"Really?" Hou Pingliang's eyes flashed and he said.
"You still don't believe what I say?" Inspector Xiao Cheng looked proud and proud.
Hou Pingliang believed it.
"However, don't mention this matter to anyone again, lest Ajuan will be unhappy." Cheng Qianfan said angrily.
"No, no." Hou Pingliang said with a smile, "I will definitely keep my mouth shut and won't tell anyone."
"I also learned to use idioms, which is good." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
Hou Pingliang chuckled and scratched his head.
"President Jin sent someone to do the job. I'll help you sign up for patrolling in the field." Cheng Qianfan said, "You, kid, remember it."
"Thank you, Inspector." Hou Pingliang said hurriedly, "I didn't go to Ajuan's place today. I was out on duty. This is just right."
"Go away, look at your worthless look, you can think of Ajuan for everything." Cheng Qianfan cursed and drove Hou Pingliang out of his office.
…
After Hou Pingliang left, Cheng Qianfan's expression became extremely serious.
He lit the cigar, pulled the chair back behind his desk, sat in the chair and smoked the cigar, thinking quickly in his mind.
Dai Chunfeng issued a death order to the Shanghai special situation team to get rid of Ruan Zhiyuan within a time limit.
His previous consideration was to start with Lou Lianxiang.
Preliminary investigation shows that this woman is kind-hearted and can take in and treat the little maid Ajuan well. This is an example of this.
In addition, Lou Lianxiang is from Nanjing and has a deep hatred for the Japanese.
Moreover, Cheng Qianfan had already learned from Xiaochi that Lou Lianxiang had been deceived by Ruan Zhiyuan, who pretended that he was threatened by the Japanese and defected to the Japanese in order to protect Lou Lianxiang's safety.
Cheng Qianfan's consideration is to send someone to get close to Lou Lianxiang, expose Ruan Zhiyuan's ugly traitor face, and try to persuade Lou Lianxiang to cooperate with the Shanghai Special Agents Group to set up a trap to get rid of Ruan Zhiyuan.
This plan is highly feasible.
However, it is not without flaws and dangers.
Regarding Lou Lianxiang's nature and her possible choices after learning the truth, they are all based on speculation. No one knows what this woman will really think and what her inner choices will be.
It is not impossible that this woman is so devoted to Ruan Zhiyuan that she is unwilling to help the Shanghai special case team get rid of Ruan Zhiyuan, and even secretly betrays the special case team in order to protect her man.
Now, what he accidentally learned from Hou Pingliang made Cheng Qianfan's eyes light up:
The call Lou Lianxiang received was obviously from Ruan Zhiyuan.
It is most likely that Ruan Zhiyuan sent someone to pick up Lou Lianxiang for a tryst.
As long as you follow Lou Lianxiang, find the place where the two secretly meet, and seize the opportunity, you can take the opportunity to get rid of Ruan Zhiyuan.
The more Cheng Qianfan thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good opportunity.
Although this opportunity comes in a hurry, you may be a little unprepared to take action now.
However, precisely because the opportunity comes in a hurry and strikes suddenly, the opponent can be caught off guard.
In addition, the most important thing is that this opportunity is accidental. Even if Ruan Zhiyuan is eliminated, no one will doubt Cheng Qianfan.
Of course, Cheng Qianfan could never do it himself, he could only arrange for his subordinates to take action.
