Looking at Chen Wentao who was questioning him angrily, Cheng Qianfan felt a little baffled.
If you are brave enough, then take your bodyguards out to chase the 'bad guy'.
If you are afraid of death and dare not go out, then you can cry while holding the body of your dead father.
What does it mean to accuse others out of thin air?
'Mr. Xiao Cheng''s face darkened and he looked at Chen Wentao coldly.
When other people around him saw this and had good relations with the Chen family, they could not help but worry about Chen Wentao. Chen Wentao might not be aware of Mr. Xiao Cheng's power and personality. How could they not be aware of it.
Just one thing to mention, there are six patrol houses in the French Concession, six chief inspectors and six deputy chief inspectors. Among these six deputy chief inspectors, why is it that only the deputy chief inspector of the central district patrol house, Cheng Qianfan, is the most famous and has even more authority than the east district patrol house?
This kind of politics is even greater than that of the Inspector General who is in a less geographical location, which is evident from this.
It can be said that even though Chen Wentao was the director of the General Affairs Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nanjing Reform Government, if Cheng Qianfan was angered, the news that one day Director Chen fell drunk into the Huangpu River would be published in the newspapers.
The self-conscious and somewhat thin-faced person was about to step forward to speak when he heard Mr. Xiao Cheng speak.
"Minister Chen was unfortunately killed. Mr. Chen is very sad. Why don't you help Mr. Chen to take a rest?" Mr. Xiao Cheng glanced at the bodyguard beside Chen Wentao and said calmly.
The bodyguard was a little hesitant.
"Quickly, let Wen Tao rest aside." A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses stepped forward and said.
The bodyguard recognized that this man was a good friend of the family's master, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Chen Wentao. The latter was sad, angry, and restless, and was about to struggle, but his father's best friend stepped forward and touched his forehead, winking at him secretly.
"It's a little hot. Quick, take it aside and drink some water."
…
Cheng Qianfan watched all this with a calm expression from beginning to end.
Everyone at the scene quite appreciated Mr. Cheng’s behavior.
"Wen Tao is so sad that he cannot speak. Vice President Cheng, please bear with me." A middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses came over and clasped his fists slightly at Cheng Qianfan and said.
"Minister Chen is an elder that I respect very much. I am also sad when Minister Chen is killed." Cheng Qianfan shook his head slightly, "So, I can understand Brother Chen's mood."
As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Zhuan's body not far away and couldn't help but sigh, "On New Year's Day, something like this happened..."
"Yes, it is really sad that such a tragic incident happened on the day of family reunion. Ren was even friends with me first, but now he has witnessed his best friend being killed by gangsters... Oh!" The man with gold-rimmed glasses took off his glasses and touched them.
He took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes.
"My condolences to Mr. Tan." Cheng Qianfan said consolingly, "Ren Xianggong served the people all his life, but now he is harmed by Xiaoxiao. What we can do is to catch the murderer as soon as possible and let Ren Xianggong rest in peace."
He had long recognized who this person was, Tan Pinggong, the vice president of the Yuyao Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai. This person and Chen Zhuan had been friends for many years. In the second year of Xuantong, Chen Zhuan was appointed editor of the Hanlin Academy by the former Qing government, and later he was appointed as an examiner by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Tan Pinggong, a doctor in the engineering department, chief executive, and director of foreign affairs, went to the capital to take charge of the family business, but was blackmailed by gangsters. It was Chen Zhuan who faced injustice and took action, and the two became close friends. This is also a good story.
"Who else could it be? Most likely Chongqing..." Tan Pinggong snorted, then gave a helpless smile, shook his head, and said, "Time is also fate."
With that said, Tan Pinggong cupped his hands towards Cheng Qianfan, took the civilized stick handed over by his subordinates, turned and walked away, and went to the side to comfort Chen Wentao in a low voice.
The Police Department of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau received an alarm call from the Chen family. They learned that the home of Chen Bo, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Nanjing "Reformation Government" and Minister Chen was attacked, and that Minister Chen was unfortunately killed. They were shocked and hurriedly dispatched police officers.
…
On New Year's Day, there were firecrackers everywhere.
The first person to arrive at Chen Zhuan's residence was not the patrol room of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau, but the military police from the Japanese Military Police Headquarters in Shanghai.
On Yuyuan Road, a large number of Japanese military police appeared on the street and rushed towards Chen Zhuan's residence.
When encountering Chinese citizens on the road, the Japanese military police whipped them with horsewhips and drove them away, looking vicious.
A Japanese captain led a group of military police through the front yard and walked straight into the living room.
"The Japanese are coming." Someone whispered.
"Everyone, who can tell me what happened?" The Japanese captain looked around at everyone, "Why did the gun fire?"
"Mr. Officer." Tan Pinggong came up to greet him, "Just now, about half an hour ago, Chen's residence was attacked by gangsters, and Minister Chen of the Nanjing Government (PS2) was unfortunately killed."
As he spoke, he pointed at Chen Zhuan's body.
"Please tell me in detail what happened." The Japanese captain glanced at Tan Pinggong and said politely.
Tan Pinggong pulled Chen Wentao over, who was still a little lost. "This gentleman is the son of Minister Chen, Director Chen Wentao of the General Affairs Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nanjing Government."
"Director Chen, please tell me."
Chen Wentao sighed heavily, with a sad look on his face, and told the Japanese army what happened.
A Japanese military policeman next to the Japanese captain hurriedly took out a pen and paper and listened carefully while recording.
The Japanese captain looked around the living room coldly.
Seeing Kentaro Miyazaki in the crowd, the Japanese captain showed a surprised expression, and then saw Kentaro Miyazaki's eyes, and he responded with a look of understanding.
"Captain Kojima." Cheng Qianfan came forward and took the initiative to extend his right hand.
"Deputy Chief Inspector Cheng, why are you here too?" Shinichiro Kojima shook hands with Mr. Cheng, showing surprise.
"Minister Chen and I have been friends for many years." Cheng Qianfan said, "I was also in the living room when the assassination occurred. I can talk to Captain Kojima about some situations."
"That's great, please." Shinichiro Kojima nodded.
…
The two of them walked to a corner, and everyone around them hurriedly avoided them.
"Miyazaki-kun, it's great that you are at the scene." Shinichiro Kojima was very happy. Miyazaki is an outstanding agent of the Special High School Course. When he narrates the situation at the scene, he can grasp the key points better than ordinary people.
"When the attacker came in, I was busy with other things, so I didn't see the gunman's appearance clearly. However, I asked everyone at the scene to think carefully. After a while, Mr. Kojima can ask relevant people at the scene." Cheng Qianfan said.
"Miyazaki-kun, what were you doing at that time?" Shinichiro Kojima couldn't help but ask. Naturally, he was not doubting Kentaro Miyazaki, but was very puzzled.
Cheng Qianfan showed a hint of embarrassment and said, "I'm accompanying my dance partner."
Shinichiro Kojima followed Kentaro Miyazaki's gaze and saw an extremely beautiful Chinese woman.
"That's it." Shinichiro Kojima nodded, feeling a little envious of the guy in front of him.
"What do you think of this attack, Miyazaki-kun?" Shinichiro Kojima took the cigarette handed over by Kentaro Miyazaki, lowered his head slightly, waited for Miyazaki to light it for him, and took two puffs of the cigarette.
"The opponent's target is very clear, it is Chen Zhuan." Cheng Qianfan held a cigarette between the fingers of his right hand and scratched behind his ear with his little finger, "After shooting Chen Zhuan, he immediately evacuated without any delay."
As he said that, he glanced at Chen Wentao who had finished telling what happened on the far side, "In my opinion, this matter was most likely done by Chongqing."
…
After getting off a rickshaw, Lu Xinge went straight into a dance hall on the roadside.
Lu Xingge pressed down the brim of his peaked cap and quietly found a remote table to sit down without attracting attention.
After waiting for another three to five minutes, he waved for a pot of scented tea and said angrily to the waiter, "I've been waiting since five o'clock and now, I can't even find a girl."
The waiter took one look at this Shanghainese man with a Fujian accent and knew he was here for business.
Soon, the waiter, who received a reward of 50 cents, found a dancer for Lu Xingge.
…
"This was found on the body." The Japanese military police sergeant came over with a blood-stained leaflet.
Shinichiro Kojima took a look at it, and the leaflet read: "The war of resistance will be won, the founding of the country will be successful, together we will eradicate traitors and traitors, and protect China forever!"
The signature is: "China Youth Iron-Blooded Army".
Cheng Qianfan also glanced at it. He had seen this leaflet just now. Not to mention that he had just glanced at it and confirmed that the gunman who came in was Lu Xingge. Even by just looking at this handwriting, he could confirm that the matter was related to his elder brother.
Just because of the word "Huaxia", Lu Xingge used to add a dot under "hua" in order to remind himself and tell future generations not to forget that the treasure island now occupied by the Japanese invaders also belongs to China.
Expelling the Japanese invaders and recovering the treasure island has been the mission of the Lu Xingge family since the days of their fathers. Many relatives of the Lu family have died for this great cause.
At this moment, there was a noise outside.
"What's going on?" Shinichiro Kojima asked coldly.
"It's the people from the patrol room of the Ministry of Industry Bureau who are here." A military policeman came over and reported, "In addition, there are also the men of Deputy Inspector Cheng who are also making noises to come in."
…
"Brother Fan."
"Brother Fan."
Seeing Cheng Qianfan walking over with a Japanese military policeman to confirm that he was fine, all the subordinates breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to salute him.
"Haozi and Little Monkey brought two people in." Cheng Qianfan said calmly, "The others are waiting safely outside."
"yes!"
"clear."
Li Hao and Hou Pingliang each selected two men, and they were about to come in with guns and ammunition.
The Japanese military policeman at the door looked gloomy, and Shinichiro Kojima also frowned, but finally waved his hand to let him go.
"Brother Chen, it's hard to describe this sudden difficulty. I know Captain Kojima and I have asked him to investigate this case as soon as possible." Cheng Qianfan walked up to Chen Wentao who was telling the people in the patrol room of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce about the incident.
, with a slightly heavy expression, "Brother Chen, my condolences."
"Thank you, Vice President Cheng." Chen Wentao glanced at Cheng Qianfan and bowed slightly.
No matter how much he disliked this guy before, Cheng Qianfan asked the Japanese to investigate thoroughly, and he had to accept the favor.
Seeing that it was General Manager Xiao who was well-known in the French Concession, the police officer from the Police Department of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce also hurriedly came up and exchanged greetings with General Manager Xiao.
Mr. Xiao Cheng also solemnly asked the other party to conduct a detailed investigation, catch the culprit as soon as possible, and comfort the spirit of the deceased in heaven.
Chen Wentao had to come over to thank Cheng Qianfan again.
"Have you finished asking?" Cheng Qianfan turned around and walked towards Ying Huaizhen, who was being questioned by the military police, and asked.
"Not yet." The Japanese military police's greedy eyes wandered over Ying Huaizhen, "Deputy Chief Inspector Cheng, I'm sorry, this lady needs to be taken back for questioning."
Ying Huaizhen's face turned pale immediately. She knew that her beauty was not only her weapon, but it also often brought trouble and even disaster.
Although she knew that Cheng Qianfan had a close relationship with the Japanese, she was not sure whether Cheng Qianfan would choose to come forward when faced with such a request from the Japanese military police, or turn a blind eye.
Although Xiao Cheng always had a great reputation in the French Concession, facing the Japanese, especially the Japanese military police, his title of deputy chief inspector of the Central Patrol Room may not be useful.
Previously, a French director of the Public Board of the French Concession encountered difficulties from Japanese soldiers at the checkpoint returning to the concession from the Chinese border. The Japanese soldiers even touched his wife. This shows the arrogance of the Japanese soldiers.
…
"Captain Xiaodao." Cheng Qianfan's expression changed and he shouted in a deep voice.
"Vice President Cheng." Shinichiro Kojima was questioning a witness. He glanced at the sound and saw Kentaro Miyazaki's expression was not friendly. He also glanced at his subordinate who was questioning Ying Huaizhen. He knew that this subordinate
Shinichiro Kojima, who had a bad temper, immediately knew what happened and could only walk over helplessly.
"Captain Kojima, can I take my woman and leave now?" Cheng Qianfan said coldly. Following his words, four people including Li Hao and Hou Pingliang immediately stood behind him, ready to deal with any situation at any time.
What an emergency looks like.
"Let them go." Shinichiro Kojima glanced at his men, waved his hand and said.
"And Ms. Hu Meiyuan." Cheng Qianfan suddenly raised his hand and pointed, "Ms. Hu, can you leave?"
"Okay, okay." Hu Meiyuan, who was frightened by the fierce look of the Japanese soldiers, shouted quickly, and then ran over holding the hip corners of her cheongsam.
"Deputy Chief Inspector Cheng..." Shinichiro Kojima gave Kentaro Miyazaki a deep look, meaning not to go too far.
"Have you never seen a man hugging two women?" Mr. Xiao Cheng smiled indifferently, hugged Ying Huaizhen with one arm, and reached out with the other hand to hug Hu Meiyuan. After that, he raised his chin,
"Captain Kojima, a spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold, and disturbing others is not the way to treat friends."
"Let him go." Shinichiro Kojima frowned, then waved his hand.
Xiao Cheng always showed a proud smile and opened the way in front of his two subordinates. Under the guard of the two subordinates, he held Ying Huaizhen in one hand and Hu Meiyuan in the other, and left unscrupulously, with behind him
It was Minister Chen Zhuanchen who was lying on the ground with his brains beaten out.
Shinichiro Kojima was also secretly cursing that Kentaro Miyazaki was clearly using the military police to help him win the hearts of beautiful women.
However, he still had to help with this favor.
Kentaro Miyazaki is greedy for money and lustful. Greedy for money and lustful are two hobbies.
If he disturbed Kentaro Miyazaki's pursuit of women, he would inevitably be hated by this generous friend, which would not be good.
In addition, his subordinates had just offended Miyazaki's woman, and as a commander, he had to "compensate" to Kentaro Miyazaki to some extent.
