"Old Xing has a problem." Zheng Lijun said in a deep voice.
Cheng Xuyuan nodded, agreeing with Zheng Lijun's judgment.
"One more thing, the patrolman named Fei Ming died." Cheng Xuyuan said.
"Dead?" Zheng Lijun asked in surprise, "How did you die?"
"Cheng Qianfan sent someone to secretly arrest him. The man was shot and then committed suicide," Cheng Xuyuan said.
"Red Party." Zheng Lijun said immediately.
This name cannot be that of the Central Government. Those cowards in the Central Government do not have the courage to die decisively.
This person must be a member of the Red Party. If his prediction is correct, this person is an operative arranged by the Red Party to protect the donations.
He looked at Cheng Xuyuan, "An underground party member is stationed in the patrol room and has reached the level of an inspector. The red party is willing to spend money for this money."
"Those poor guys in the New Fourth Army, this money is too important to them. This is bullets, medicine, salt, and cloth." Cheng Xuyuan shook his head and said.
He frowned, showing a look of distress, "Lao Xing is dead, and now the clues are gone. The Red Party is good at hiding it from the people. It will be extremely difficult to find them again and find the whereabouts of the money."
"80% of this money will be lost." Zheng Lijun shook his head and frowned.
…
Objectively speaking, even if this money is obtained, Shanghai Station will not be able to make much profit. This is a task directly assigned by Chongqing.
Zheng Lijun estimated that it would be a blessing if Dai Chunfeng could agree to use part of the money to make up for the arrears of the Shanghai Station.
Therefore, Zheng Lijun was not too distressed that the money was gone. What he was worried about was that this was a task assigned by Dai Chunfeng himself, and how he should deliver it to Dai Chunfeng.
He glanced at Yu Zhengze, who had a bitter look on his face, and made a vague decision in his heart.
In addition, compared with how to communicate with Chongqing, Zheng Lijun was more worried about the problems that occurred with Lao Xing and the potential safety hazards it might bring to the Shanghai Station.
"Lao Yu." Zheng Lijun said to Yu Zhengze, "Lao Xing is your subordinate. You tell me truthfully. If Lao Xing has a problem..."
Yu Zhengze was about to defend himself.
"Now is not the time to hold people accountable." Zheng Lijun said with a serious expression, "I want to know what Lao Xing knows and what he will tell if he takes refuge with Li Cuiqun?"
"Pingluchang." Yu Zhengze said, "Lao Xing's upline is Pingluchang. Any news is usually passed on to Pingluchang."
"Inform Pingluchang to evacuate immediately." Zheng Lijun said in a deep voice.
Before he finished speaking, he shook his head again, "That's not right."
Zheng Lijun paced, tapping his fingers subconsciously, "Arrange to cut off Ping Luchang's contact with other people."
He looked at Yu Zhengze and said, "At the same time, I sent someone to secretly monitor Pinglu Chang."
"The stationmaster suspects that Ping Luchang has also rebelled?" Cheng Xuyuan asked.
"Rebellion is not certain." Zheng Lijun shook his head, "However, if there is a problem with Lao Xing, it is impossible for Ping Luchang not to be exposed."
He looked at Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Old Cheng, if you were Li Cuiqun, would you order the arrest and interrogation of Ping Luchang, or would you play the long game to catch the big fish?"
"It would be best if we could interrogate Ping Luchang to induce him to surrender. However, this is a risky move." Cheng Xuyuan thought, "Ping Luchang is different from Lao Xing. He can get in touch with our higher-level officers. It is safe to say
For the sake of safety, I will arrange for people to keep an eye on Ping Luchang."
As he spoke, he nodded towards Zheng Lijun and said with admiration, "The webmaster has considered everything."
"The notification must be in place, and everyone who can be contacted and known by Pingluchang must complete the cut with Pingluchang." Zheng Lijun said to Yu Zhengze with a serious expression.
"yes!"
…
No. 76, Jisfield Road.
"Is there any movement over there in Pingluchang?" Li Cuiqun asked Hu Sishui.
"No." Hu Sishui shook his head, "In addition to sometimes playing at gambling stalls, this person goes to the big world to dance when he wins money, and when he loses money, he goes to work honestly."
Li Cuiqun frowned.
He's still weighing it.
Lao Xing died, and Dong Zhengguo and others appeared in desperation. This situation may attract the attention of the Military Command Shanghai Station.
Furthermore, it is possible to suspect Lao Xing.
Following the clues, might Shanghai Station also have some suspicion that Ping Luchang might be targeted?
What he was hesitating about was to capture Pingluchang now, and then conduct an emergency interrogation, hoping to successfully arrest him before the Shanghai Station was alerted and the relevant personnel were evacuated.
However, if there was no such vigilance at the Shanghai Station, and according to Lao Xing's previous confession, this Ping Luchang was a very tough man, and if torture could not make Ping Luchang surrender quickly, it would be a warning to the enemy.
"Deputy Director Li, Captain Dong is back." A subordinate came in to report.
"Please come quickly." Li Cuiqun was overjoyed and said.
Soon, Dong Zhengguo, who had a bruised nose and face, was brought to Li Cuiqun's office.
"How could this be so? How could this be so?" Li Cuiqun looked at the embarrassed Dong Zhengguo, especially one of his arms was drooped. He couldn't help but change his face and said angrily, "Cheng Qianfan bullied others too much! Bullied others too much!"
He stepped forward and checked Dong Zhengguo's arm, "How is the injury? Is it serious?"
"It's broken." Dong Zhengguo smiled bitterly, "However, they also kept their hands and didn't cripple them. They will be able to nurse them for a while."
"It's too much to bully someone." Li Cuiqun said angrily, "Don't worry, I will remember this account with Cheng Qianfan. Next time I see him, I will definitely ask for an explanation for you in person."
"I once presided over the assassination of Cheng Qianfan. He hated me and wanted to kill me. There is nothing wrong with that." Dong Zhengguo shook his head and smiled bitterly. "This time I can walk out of Cheng Qianfan's hands with all my hair and tail intact. It's already a shame."
It’s the director’s fault, Cheng Qianfan’s people said, please give the director your face and spare my life.”
He looked at Li Cuiqun with a sincere expression, "It's Zhengguo who wants to thank the director. If it weren't for the director, I might have become fish food in the Huangpu River."
"Brother Zhengguo." Li Cuiqun patted Dong Zhengguo's other shoulder and said with emotion, "I have suffered."
Instructing Hu Sishui to get a chair for Dong Zhengguo to sit down, Li Cuiqun expressed his guess and judgment and asked, "In your opinion, should Pingluchang continue to stay?"
"Take action immediately." Dong Zhengguo's expression changed drastically and he immediately said urgently, "Director, please send someone to arrest Ping Luchang immediately. There must be suspicion at Shanghai Station."
"Why are you so sure?" Li Cuiqun glanced at Dong Zhengguo doubtfully and asked.
"Ping Luchang met me by chance at Lao Xing's home," Dong Zhengguo said.
Li Cuiqun understood immediately.
Before Lao Xing's accident, even if Ping Luchang had met Dong Zhengguo at Lao Xing's house, it would have been nothing. Ping Luchang did not know Dong Zhengguo's identity and would not suspect anything.
That's not the case now. Lao Xing is dead and Dong Zhengguo's identity is exposed. Ping Luchang will inevitably wake up.
