Li Hao stopped the car, put it in neutral, pulled the handbrake, and got out of the car.
Hold up your umbrella and open the car door.
"Wait for me here." Cheng Qianfan took the umbrella from Haozi's hand and ordered, "If I don't come back in an hour and a half, bring someone to find me."
"Brother Fan, the road patrol chief probably doesn't know how to do it," Li Hao said.
"These days, I treat people with sincerity, but I have to be on guard against them." Cheng Qianfan shook his head gently and said with emotion, "Of course, Lu Dazhang had no reason to harm me, he was just prepared."
"I understand." Li Hao nodded and said.
…
This is a relatively simple snack bar. The eaves in the corner are even leaking, and the rainwater makes a dripping sound when it falls.
"Why did you, the road inspector, choose such a crappy place to treat us?" Cheng Qianfan casually put his hat on the table and reached out to touch the stool. There was oil stain on it. He clicked his tongue, but just threw it away.
sit down.
"Brother Cheng, I'm not bragging. After drinking this mutton soup, you must be thinking about your next trip." Lu Dazhang laughed and poured wine into Cheng Qianfan's glass.
"Then I want to try it." Cheng Qianfan laughed and said, "If it's not delicious, you, Brother Lu, will owe me a French meal."
"I thought with your habits, Mr. Cheng, if you don't enjoy the meal, you would send someone to destroy the shop." Lu Dazhang said teasingly.
"That's not possible." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "Don't offend doctors and cooks."
As he spoke, he leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice, "Even if we really want to kill the doctor and the cook, we have to wait until we are well treated or have enough food and drink."
"As expected of Mr. Cheng." Lu Dazhang shook his head and said. He glanced at the car across the road and asked, "Haozi is here too?"
"Brother Lu, let me invite you to a drink. I can risk my life to accompany you at the wine table, but I don't dare to drive drunk," Cheng Qianfan said.
Lu Dazhang nodded and understood instantly.
In his heart, he was filled with admiration for Comrade Huo Miao's boldness and carefulness. He openly brought his subordinates and cronies from the Secret Service to the appointment. In this way, it would not arouse any suspicion, because he, Lu Dazhang, and Xiao Cheng always had a good relationship.
Not bad, we have a lot of contacts.
In addition, Lu Dazhang knew Li Hao's background information. Although Li Hao was also a member of the Secret Service, he was brought into the Secret Service by Cheng Qianfan. In fact, Li Hao was Cheng Qianfan's absolute confidant.
Therefore, choosing Li Hao to follow is a clever move.
…
The shop owners are a middle-aged couple.
At this moment, the two of them were busy working under the dim light with dull expressions.
The fire is red.
The unique aroma of mutton soup began to fill the air.
"Have you found anything useful through your research?" Cheng Qianfan asked in a low voice.
"No." Lu Dazhang shook his head, "From the surface, this is a very ordinary mahogany jewelry box. I checked it carefully and there is no hidden compartment."
As he spoke, Lu Dazhang picked up a peanut, took a sip of wine, chewed it and said, "My opinion is that this is just an ordinary jewelry box. It is nothing special in itself. It's just that this jewelry box may have a
Characteristics, and this characteristic is known only to those in the know, so it can be used as some kind of contact token."
"It is indeed possible." Cheng Qianfan picked up a piece of mutton and dipped it in balsamic vinegar. "In fact, this situation is the safest."
"Then we worked so hard to get this jewelry box, but it's actually useless." Lu Dazhang said regretfully.
"You can't look at it this way." Cheng Qianfan said, "We took the jewelry box preemptively, which in itself will affect the actions and plans of the Japanese. This in itself is success and victory."
"That's the truth." Lu Dazhang and Cheng Qianfan clinked glasses and said happily.
He took a sip of wine, thought for a while, and said, "I just thought about it. With your ability, there won't be no follow-up."
Cheng Qianfan purred, took a sip of wine, and a smile appeared on his face, "The one who knows me is Brother Lu."
He did not explain his next move to Lu Dazhang, and Lu Dazhang did not continue to ask.
This is not distrust. Before the results come out, the more people know about this kind of thing, the more danger it will be. Both of them are ace agents under Comrade "Zhulin", so they can understand this.
…
The mutton soup tasted really good. Cheng Qianfan gave it a thumbs up and praised it repeatedly.
"Brother Lu is indeed a gourmet of the patrol house in the French Concession." Cheng Qianfan said with admiration.
"What about what I just said?" Lu Dazhang squinted his eyes with a smile on his face.
"If you see money, you can ship the goods. You can go out through the small east gate. I will say hello in advance." Cheng Qianfan said, "However, you have to pay an extra amount for transportation."
"Okay." Lu Dazhang nodded, "I'm only responsible for taking the message, but I guess the other side will agree."
When the two met this time, it was actually Lu Dazhang who handed over the jewelry box to Cheng Qianfan. However, the apparent reason was that Lu Dazhang, as a middleman, helped Jiujiu Trading contact a larger goods transaction, so that he could hide it from others.
.
Cheng Qianfan carried his locked briefcase and held an umbrella out of the shop.
The rain was heavy, hitting the umbrella like crazy.
"Brother Fan." Li Hao opened the car door in the rain and took the umbrella from Cheng Qianfan's hand.
After Cheng Qianfan got into the car, he put the umbrella in the trunk and ran into the cab in the rain.
Start the car.
Li Hao turned on the car lights, on, off, on, off again, on again.
This was a safety signal to the brothers who were guarding nearby. After his confrontation with Zhang Xiaolin, Mr. Xiao Cheng decisively improved his security work.
Don't look at the fact that there are only Cheng Qianfan and Li Hao in the car, but there are two cars in the dark, with a total of eight people's defense force.
In the dark night, a car in front started up, turned on its lights, and drove slowly through the rainy night.
Li Hao's car also moved.
Behind, there was another car that also turned on its headlights and followed closely.
"There will be a batch of goods leaving the small east gate in two days. This is our first time doing business there, so be careful." Cheng Qianfan said.
"Okay, Brother Fan." Li Hao nodded, "With your prestige, Brother Fan, no one would dare to take the risk."
"Be careful and you won't make a big mistake." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "Remember, those who drown are those who know how to swim."
"Besides, don't forget, we have fallen out with Zhang Xiaolin now. That old guy is not someone who will suffer the consequences of being dumb." He said with a serious expression.
"I understand." Li Hao said, "I will keep an eye on it personally."
…
Yendri.
Pang Shui stood on the second floor with the window open.
He held up the telescope with both hands and tried his best to observe.
"This one is plagued." He cursed.
It was raining heavily and it was late at night, so the telescope could not see anything at all.
At this time, the car lights penetrated the rain and fog, lighting up the dark rainy night.
"Master Shui, it should be Cheng Qianfan who is back." One of his subordinates shouted excitedly.
"Siren Niang!" Pang Shui scolded, "keep your voice down so that no one can hear you."
The subordinate curled his lips, it was windy and rainy, you could hear farts outside.
"Master Shui, what a great opportunity, do you want to shoot Cheng Qianfan down with one shot?" This subordinate glanced at a medium-sized rifle placed in the corner, licked his lips, and asked excitedly.
"Niang Ren! Shut up!" Pang Shui cursed, "It's so noisy!"
Although Zhang Xiaolin issued the order, Pang Shui did not intend to take action at this moment and here.
It wasn't that he wanted to disobey Zhang Xiaolin's order, but it was a rainy day and his vision was limited, so he wasn't sure he could hit it with one hit.
It would be bad if the shot was fired but Cheng Qianfan was not killed.
Although the power and subordinates of 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' are incomparable to Zhang Xiaolin's, in the French Concession, if Xiao Cheng always takes revenge, Zhang Xiaolin will have a headache.
…
A car drove into the alley head-on.
There are two cars behind.
The last car stopped at the entrance of the alley, the street lights were on, and two people in raincoats could be vaguely seen getting out of the car, looking around cautiously.
The car at the head drove all the way, passed the door of Cheng Qianfan's house, and drove forward for a distance of more than 20 meters.
Then the car stopped, and three people got out of the car and came to the door of Cheng Qianfan's house holding black umbrellas.
At this time, the car in the middle drove to the door of the house and stopped.
A man got out of the car on the passenger side, took out an umbrella from the trunk, and held it up.
Four umbrellas were raised, covering Cheng Qianfan almost perfectly.
Pang Shui's face was gloomy. He was not sure that he could kill Cheng Qianfan in one go, so he decided not to take action. However, when he saw that Cheng Qianfan was on such tight guard, his expression became even more unpleasant. This showed that it was not that easy to kill this guy.
He spat on the ground and muttered the words 'scared to death'!
…
"Why do you drink so much wine?" Bai Ruolan hadn't rested yet, she smelled the smell of alcohol on Cheng Qianfan and couldn't help but frowning.
"The road inspector treated us to a treat and introduced a big deal." Cheng Qianfan took the sobering tea that his wife had prepared long ago. Gudong Gudong drank half the cup, wiped his mouth and said.
"What is that?" He pointed to the suitcase in the corner.
The suitcase is new, not from home.
"Xiao Ye called me and said that someone would deliver something, and then someone delivered this suitcase." Bai Ruolan said.
Cheng Qianfan was suddenly startled, and most of his drunkenness was gone.
"Have you opened the box?" he asked.
"No." Bai Ruolan shook her head, "I will never touch your things, you know."
Then, Bai Ruolan also showed panic, "Is there danger?"
She reacted quickly and understood why her husband asked.
"There shouldn't be any danger." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "But I recently had a falling out with Zhang Xiaolin. That old guy is not a moral person."
After telling Bai Ruolan to stay away, Cheng Qianfan took the stethoscope, flashlight, tweezers, and razor blades.
He lay on the box and listened carefully with a stethoscope. He heard no clicking sound, which preliminarily ruled out the suspicion that there was a time bomb inside.
Then, he shined a flashlight and carefully checked to confirm that there was no danger such as a grenade fuse hanging on the wire. Then Cheng Qianfan carefully opened the suitcase.
Inside were neatly stacked two rows of small yellow croakers, as well as foreign currencies such as British pounds, US knives, francs, Japanese yen, and some French currency.
"So much money." Bai Ruolan said in surprise.
"Well, my little sister's friend asked me to do something." Cheng Qianfan said.
Bai Ruolan didn't ask any more questions. She never asked about her husband's work and the "work" he did secretly.
Bai Ruolan knew in her heart that although she was very worried about her husband, she must not ask any more questions unless her husband took the initiative to tell her or needed her help and cooperation. Otherwise, she would try her best to avoid suspicion, which would be the greatest support for her husband's work.
To be precise, it is the contribution that Cheng Qianfan can make to the safety of this family.
…
After chatting with Bai Ruolan for another while, Cheng Qianfan returned to the study.
When he was leaning on the recliner and thinking about something, the cat who was sleeping on the bed in the study almost got up with his eyes closed, jumped out of bed slowly, walked slowly, then took off, jumped into Cheng Qianfan's arms, and rubbed against it.
After a while, I found a comfortable position and continued to sleep.
During the entire process, the cat's eyes are almost always closed.
Cheng Qianfan looked amused and stroked the cat's fur. The cat arched again in comfort and soon purred.
"Lazy cat!" Cheng Qianfan chuckled.
He continued to think.
Regarding Bai Feiyu, whom Tang Xiaoye asked him to help release, Cheng Qianfan's previous guess was that this person should be a comrade of our party like the younger sister.
There are two basis for his conclusion.
One is because of Tang Xiaoye. According to his guess, the younger sister should be a comrade in the party, and Cheng Qianfan was extremely confident about this.
It is easy to guess the identity of the person our party wants to rescue. There is a high probability that he is a comrade in the party, or at least a patriot.
Secondly, according to Tang Xiaoye, this person has not committed a crime and is innocent. He could have been released. However, because Wang Kangnian from the Dadao Municipal Police Department has been strongly demanding Bai Feiyu's extradition, Mai
Lan's patrol office did not agree to release him, saying that it was necessary to continue the investigation.
The most important reason that made Cheng Qianfan judge that Bai Feiyu was a comrade of our party was the latter——
Wang Kangnian is eyeing Bai Feiyu!
Cheng Qianfan knew Wang Kangnian very well. This guy defected to the Japanese, became a traitor, and acted as a pawn of the Japanese.
Based on Cheng Qianfan's observation of Wang Kangnian, Wang Kangnian seemed to have little interest in catching the anti-Japanese elements in Chongqing. He was still like a mad dog, bent on arresting Red Party members and anti-Japanese comrades who were close to the Red Party.
Bai Feiyu was not arrested in the Japanese-occupied area, but was arrested by the Mailan Police Station, and was being released by his relatives and friends. At this time, Wang Kangnian focused on Bai Feiyu——
Cheng Qianfan's first reaction was that Wang Kangnian found out Bai Feiyu's identity as a member of the Red Party.
As for why the organization didn't contact him to rescue Bai Feiyu, but Tang Xiaoye came to ask for his help?
Cheng Qianfan didn't find it strange.
His identity is highly confidential, and only "Dandelion" and "Charterer" within the local party organization in Shanghai know his identity.
Even other leading comrades within the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee do not know his identity.
Therefore, Cheng Qianfan deduced that it was Tang Xiaoye's superiors who came to him to rescue Bai Feiyu through Tang Xiaoye after they knew about her relationship with him.
This makes sense.
Of course, this kind of normal contact is business dealings——
Gotta give money!
However, looking at the suitcase of belongings sent by Tang Xiaoye's friend made Cheng Qianfan deeply puzzled.
He is no longer so sure of his previous judgment.
