"Ahem, cough, have you checked?" Wang Kangnian asked with a gloomy face.
The violent cough made him feel uncomfortable. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth. Wang Kangnian glanced at the woman in the alley who was walking towards the ambush site.
"It's clear." Xiaosi nodded, "Tang Xiaoye invited Mrs. Cheng to listen to a lecture at the Professional Women's Club. This woman probably doesn't know where that place is."
"What do you mean?" Wang Kangnian asked.
"According to our investigation, this Mrs. Cheng is a good wife and mother who is not interested in politics. When she arrived at the venue and found out that it was an anti-Japanese speech, she turned around and left." Xiaosi said.
"Moreover, Mrs. Cheng and Tang Xiaoye seemed to have had a quarrel. She was very angry about this incident and said that Tang Xiaoye was not allowed to visit her again."
"also--"
"What else?" Wang Kangnian asked.
"Cheng Qianfan's subordinate Li Hao warned Tang Xiaoye." Xiaosi said.
"So this is just an accident, and it's not that Cheng Qianfan wants to conflict with us?" Wang Kangnian asked, holding a cigarette in his hand. When the weather got cold, the old injuries on his body began to torment him. He didn't dare to smoke even though he was addicted to cigarettes.
"Judging from the current situation, it should be like this." Xiaosi said.
Wang Kangnian nodded. He hated Cheng Qianfan deeply, but he also knew that this person had great power in the French Concession. If this person got involved with the Red Party and anti-Japanese elements, it would be extremely troublesome. Fortunately, Cheng Qianfan should not be involved.
The problem is, this person has always been close to Japanese people.
"Do you think Tang Xiaoye is a red party member?" he asked Xiaosi.
"According to the information we have, Tang Xiaoye participated in anti-Japanese demonstrations many times when she was in girls' middle school. However, it seems that she was just an active anti-Japanese element and not a red party member." Xiao Si said, "At least, we did not check
Evidence that she is a Red Party member."
"Evidence?" Wang Kangnian looked at the girl getting closer and closer in the alley, and sneered at the corner of his mouth, "Catch this woman, and you will know everything after a trial."
This girl named Shu Yan was a good friend of Tang Xiaoye. The two were almost inseparable. This girl participated in all the anti-Japanese demonstrations and lectures that Tang Xiaoye participated in.
Tang Xiaoye is Fang Guohua's daughter. At the same time, given the relationship between the Fang family and Cheng Qianfan, it is difficult to act rashly. However, this girl has no background, so there is no need to worry about arresting someone.
…
Xiao Shu realized something was wrong.
The alley is too quiet.
This is the road she often takes home. There are several stray cats in the alley. Every time she passes by, she can hear the cats meowing.
Sometimes she would take out the steamed buns she saved and feed them to the kittens.
However, I didn't hear a cat meowing today.
Xiao Shu quickened her pace and started running.
"Catch her." Wang Kangnian ordered.
At the same time, he felt happy. This woman was too alert, which showed that her identity was unusual.
Xiao Shu ran very fast and passed through the alley. There was a main road in front of her. There were patrols patrolling her. She could choose to shout for help.
boom!
Xiaosi fired.
One shot hit Xiao Shu's thigh, and she immediately fell and threw herself on the ground.
She raised her head and saw several pairs of feet running towards her, and then she saw the black muzzle of the gun.
"Help!"
"There are gangsters!"
Xiao Shu shouted loudly.
Then she was caught and her mouth was gagged.
Wang Kangnian squatted down, put a gun to Shu Yan's head, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Shu Yan?"
Because of the severe pain from the gunshot wound to his leg, Xiao Shu gritted his teeth in pain and remained silent.
…
"Take it away." Wang Kangnian waved his hand.
The weak Xiao Shu suddenly burst out with huge energy, and she struggled to crawl forward.
Wang Kangnian sneered, watching the girl dragging her injured leg while crawling, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground.
"You can't run away." Xiaosi said softly with a hint of pity.
The sound of gunshots and the shouts just now attracted the attention of the policeman patrolling the road, and the sound of footsteps could be heard.
Wang Kangnian frowned and said, "Take it away."
At this moment, he saw that the crawling girl had stopped moving.
Wang Kangnian cursed in his mind, stepped forward, turned the girl's body over, and saw a pair of scissors deeply inserted into the girl's chest.
Wang Kangnian punched the wall angrily, and then kicked one of his men to the ground.
"Why not search me?"
"idiot!"
"Brother, the patrol is here." Xiaosi glanced at the girl lying on the ground with blood flowing out, and said to Wang Kangnian.
"Withdraw!" Wang Kangnian raised his pistol, fired several shots in a venting manner at the girl who was still breathing, and at the chest dripping with blood, and then turned around and left.
A group of patrolmen ran into the alley and saw a girl lying on her back on the ground.
A patrolman knelt down and heard the girl moan.
"Go home." Xiao Shu's voice was very low.
"Where is your home?" the patrolman asked.
"My home...Songhua River..." was the last words in the girl's life.
She lay there quietly, her beautiful eyes widened, and there was no sound at all... There was a bright red underneath her body!
"Brother Pan, this is Wang Kangnian's detective team." A patrolman knelt down and said to him.
"Report to the police station." Inspector Pan sighed, helped the girl close her eyelids, and said.
After a moment of pause, he added, "I will report it myself."
This is the jurisdiction of the Central District. They are affiliated with the Central Patrol Room. He knows that Mr. Cheng and Wang Kangnian will not deal with them.
Girl, this is the only thing I can do for you.
…
At this moment, in the safe house on Desilang Road, Cheng Qianfan's fingers were clicking the keys.
His fingers pressed the keys quickly.
After separating from Lao Huang and Lu Dazhang, he came to the safe house and reported to the headquarters.
The appearance of the Japanese "Pen Troop" aroused his high alertness. This was a new situation and he had to report it to the headquarters and remind the headquarters to pay attention.
In addition, he also reported his arrangements for relevant work to the headquarters and filed them.
Another important point is that Cheng Qianfan clearly informed the headquarters that while Song Fuguo was stranded in Shanghai, he would remain silent and be prepared to deal with emergencies.
I don't know why, but the arrival of Song Fuguo made Cheng Qianfan feel an inexplicable sense of threat.
Part of this sense of danger comes from Song Fuguo himself. Song Fuguo is a very capable veteran spy within the Kuomintang. Cheng Qianfan has always treated Song Fuguo with a high score every time he came into contact with him before.
Deal with it mentally.
In addition, there is an inexplicable intuition.
During the cruel white terror period, this kind of intuition appeared in countless life and death tests. He was able to save himself from danger countless times. In addition to his own inherent caution, it was also inseparable from this intuition of danger.
Cheng Qianfan self-analysed, and he came to the conclusion that what Mei Shenping and Gao Qingwu were involved in was an extremely confidential matter between the Wang clique and the Japanese. The Japanese were extremely strict about this, and any possible contact or
Anyone who tries to inquire about this matter may be in danger.
Soon, Cheng Qianfan received a call back from Comrade ‘Farmer’.
Comrade "Farmer" approved his arrangements for the relevant work, approved his temporary silence, and agreed on a code for restarting radio contact.
"Comrade Huo Miao, please take care of yourself."
Cheng Qianfan looked at this last sentence, and a smile appeared on his handsome face.
…
The next day.
Rarely good weather, the sun is shining brightly.
Cheng Qianfan had breakfast with his wife and Xiaobao.
"I will be quite busy at work these days." He picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, and said to Bai Ruolan, "The market is not peaceful recently. If Haozi comes to pick you up, you can follow Haozi..."
Bai Ruolan's heart twitched. She looked at her husband, her eyes filled with worry.
"It's nothing." Cheng Qianfan comforted his wife, "I'm just preparing for a rainy day."
He knew that Ruolan had already guessed a lot, so he spoke more directly now than before.
"How have you considered what I said the day before yesterday?" Bai Ruolan said.
"What's the matter?" Cheng Qianfan asked in surprise, and then he saw his wife stroking her belly. His eyes were extremely gentle for a moment, "I'm thinking about it. I plan to visit the teacher in a few days and ask the teacher for help."
What Ruolan was talking about was the matter of naming the child in her belly.
This woman was very worried and didn't want to cause trouble to him because of her worries, so she used this method to remind him to pay attention to his safety.
"I haven't visited my wife for several days," Bai Ruolan said.
"Okay, then we will go visit the teacher and his wife together." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
"Okay." Bai Ruolan smiled sweetly, as if it was her husband who said this, and she felt relieved.
…
"Brother Fan, there was a shooting on Father Jin Road yesterday."
As soon as he got in the car, Li Hao informed Cheng Qianfan that something had happened.
"Shooted?" Cheng Qianfan frowned slightly.
"A girl was shot on her way home from get off work and died on the spot."
"Have you found out who did it?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Pan Lei led the team out of the scene. According to his report, the murderer was Wang Kangnian's detective brigade."
Cheng Qianfan's heart skipped a beat. Wang Kangnian's people had committed a murder. This beast had been targeting the Red Party. So, the identity of the murdered girl...
"What happened to the deceased?" he asked.
"The girl's name is Shu Yan. She is a staff member of the Shanghai Professional Women's Club." Li Hao said. He glanced at the rearview mirror and said, "This Shu Yan is a good friend of Tang Xiaoye, and they have a very good relationship."
"Wang Kangnian?" An angry look appeared on Cheng Qianfan's face, "Has the murderer been caught?"
"No, when the patrol arrived at the scene, the gunman had already run away." Li Hao said.
Cheng Qianfan said with a cold face, "Wang Kangnian has always targeted the Red Party. Is this Shu Yan a Red Party?"
"I don't know yet." Li Hao shook his head, "However, this Shu Yan has always participated in anti-Japanese demonstrations and lectures, and is an anti-Japanese activist."
Li Hao's face showed anger and regret, "Brother Fan, this girl is only nineteen years old."
Cheng Qianfan's face was gloomy, "What did the patrol room say?"
"The announcement has come out. It is said that this girl was killed by robbers on her way home alone. I express my deepest condolences." Li Hao said angrily, "Brother Fan, the French will not provoke the Japanese if they can.
Even if you knock out your teeth, you will swallow them in your stomach."
"That's because the person who died was not one of theirs." Cheng Qianfan snorted and cursed.
We have arrived at the Central Patrol Room on Xue Huali Road.
Haozi honked the horn and greeted the patrolman. The patrolman at the post had long seen that it was Mr. Cheng's car and pulled up the barrier in advance.
Haozi glanced at the rearview mirror, hesitated for a moment, and then asked cautiously, "Brother Fan, if this Shu Yan is a red party member..."
"If the Red Party falls into my hands, there will only be death." Cheng Qianfan glanced at Haozi who was driving, and said in a deep voice, "We can kill the Red Party, and we can also kill traitors like Wang Kangnian, but the one who died is
Chinese people, remember——”
His expression was grim, "When we kill the Red Party members, that's called fighting the rebellion. The traitors kill the Red Party members. This is also a sin and a blood debt."
As he said this, he shook his head and said, "Of course, this is a blood debt that the Red Party must record, so we don't have to wade into this pool of muddy water."
Haozi parked the car, his mood was a little low. He wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all.
"I remember that there was a gambling stall on Bai Sai Zhong Road that had something to do with Wang Kangnian?" Cheng Qianfan suddenly asked.
"Yes, it's Wang Kangnian's subordinate, the one named Xiao Si, who is in charge." Li Hao nodded.
"Sweep it." Cheng Qianfan sneered and said.
After saying that, he got out of the car, picked up the police hat, patted it, put it on, and strode up the steps of the police hall.
"Yes!" Li Hao looked at Brother Fan's back and agreed happily.
He naturally knew that Brother Fan's order to take action was not to avenge the Red Party. The reason why he ordered the action was just because the other party was Wang Kangnian. Wang Kangnian's people crossed the border and entered the Central District to commit crimes. It was naturally impossible for 'Ms. Xiao Cheng' not to respond.
This has nothing to do with the Red Party or not, it is a personal grudge.
However, no matter what, Li Hao felt much more comfortable.
…
The tragic death of Shu Yan, a twenty-year-old young girl, did not cause any waves in the patrol room.
Even the newspapers reported based on the notices from the patrol room. At most, they lamented that "women in their prime of life were killed by robbers when they walked at night", in order to remind women to be more careful when walking alone at night.
…
At around ten o'clock in the morning, Cheng Qianfan finished handling his official duties, changed into plain clothes, and Shi Shiran left Xue Huali Road.
This morning, the ship Song Fuguo took will arrive in Shanghai.
For safety reasons, he would naturally not pick up the boat in person. However, Cheng Qianfan had already made an excuse. He would appear at a theater near the dock and observe secretly from a high position.
Soon, Mr. Cheng personally drove a car and appeared downstairs at Ying Huaizhen's house in Lafei Fang, protected by two escort vehicles.
Ying Huaizhen was wearing a crimson cheongsam, which hugged her waist tightly and highlighted the curves of the woman's beautiful body.
Mr. Xiao Cheng got out of the car and opened the door. Ying Huaizhen smiled charmingly and bent down to get in the car. The wind blew up, bringing with it a gust of fragrance. The woman deliberately got into the car slowly. Mr. Xiao Cheng laughed and gave her perky buttocks.
A slap in the face.
"I hate it." Ying Huaizhen got into the car, her face flushed and she rolled her eyes.
"You still understand me and know that I like your pert butt the most." Cheng Qianfan drove the car, looked at the rearview mirror, and raised the corners of his mouth.
"Oh, what are you talking about?" Ying Huaizhen was angry, "Why did Mr. Cheng, who has so many things to do, think of inviting me to the theater today?"
"Of course I miss the beauty." Cheng Qianfan smiled slightly.
"Who is the beauty? Where is she?"
"Sitting behind my butt."
"Bah! Vulgar!"
