Chapter 1031 Candidates

 Cheng Qianfan slowly drank the meat porridge from the bowl.

 Already thinking about a plan to get rid of Tsubasa Naito.

The decision to take action in TEDA Apartment was not based on impulse.

 Almost when he made this decision, he already had several reasons in his mind to support this decision.

  It was rare to be allowed to take action against "Japanese compatriots", so Cheng Qianfan wanted to make the most of Naito Tsubasa's death.

Faced with the aggressiveness of the Japanese, the French Concession authorities backed down step by step.

This situation not only brought great inconvenience and safety risks to the anti-Japanese people hiding in the French Concession, but also had an extremely bad and subtle impact. In other words, Cheng Qianfan keenly felt that as Britain and France moved closer to Japan, If you give in, some ordinary people will have a kind of pessimism and despair that cannot see the light of day -

Even the French are afraid of the Japanese!

 Is China really going to die? !

In this case, it was 'rumored' that 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' had killed a Japanese, and he was also a Japanese diplomat. Regardless of the inside story, the Japanese had nothing to do with Cheng Qianfan.

Cheng Qianfan will also secretly send people to build momentum. On the one hand, it is because Mr. Cheng has always had a good relationship with Japan. The Japanese have no ironclad evidence that Cheng Qianfan sent people to do it. Of course, the most important thing is that the Japanese do not dare to attack the French. Mr. Xiao Cheng, who is the backer, takes action.

 This will also boost the morale of the people in the French Concession.

For No. 76, Zhang Xiaolin of the New Asia Peace Promotion Association, and even other major forces in Shanghai, Cheng Qianfan, who killed Japanese diplomats and survived unharmed, is undoubtedly more mysterious. No matter which party wants to If you want to have any plans for him again, you have to think carefully beforehand.

 This is to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

Perhaps it was because the fox was pretending to be the tiger's power. He cleverly took advantage of Hyōtaro Imamura's acquiescence.

 …

"Brother Fan, do you want to inform Jiang Mulezi to send someone back to the concession to take action?" Li Hao asked. He did not ask why Brother Fan decided to take action in TEDA Apartment. Since Brother Fan has decided, Brother Fan has his own reasons, and in Li Hao's heart , I am also quite excited about Brother Fan’s choice of the starting point—

 Just kill a Japanese dog. Only in this way can he be worthy of the status of the famous "Mr. Xiao Cheng" in the French Concession!

 Cheng Qianfan thought seriously.

 The most capable operational force within the special situation group is Jiang Mulezi’s special operations team.

“Brother Fan, Vice Captain Lu was a master of action when he was at the Shanghai Station.” Li Hao suddenly thought of Lu Xingge, the military’s ace killer, and suggested.

 “No.” Cheng Qianfan shook his head.

 Luchingo is not suitable.

It’s not just Lu Xingge who is unfit, anyone from the Shanghai Special Situation Group is unfit to be involved in this operation.

 “This matter cannot have anything to do with the special situation team.” Cheng Qianfan said solemnly.

Li Hao thought for a while and immediately understood the reason. He nodded in admiration, "Brother Fan is still thoughtful."

 He finished the preserved egg and lean meat porridge in two gulps, wiped his mouth, and said thoughtfully, "Then it would be most appropriate for Chen Hu to take action."

 Chen Hu.

 Cheng Qianfan pondered, in fact, he was also considering Chen Hu.

 The reason why he did not develop Chen Hu into the special situation group was because of the current situation:

 Those things that are inconvenient for the special situation team to get involved in can be arranged for Chen Hu to do.

"Hu Zi is capable, and his brothers are also very good." Cheng Qianfan thought to himself, "It would be appropriate for him to take action."

 Chen Hu is his man, and everyone in the French Concession knows it.

He wanted to get rid of Naito Tsubasa with great fanfare, and he had considered not hiding that it was his people who did it, so as to have the greatest deterrence. Anyway, he himself would never admit that Naito's death was related to him.

However, Cheng Qianfan had a vague feeling in his heart that Chen Hu might not be the most suitable candidate.

 This was an intuition. He didn't think of anyone else who was more suitable to do this at the moment. However, he just subconsciously felt that there was a more suitable person.

“Chen Hu, make preparations first.” Cheng Qianfan said, “Notify Chen Hu and ask him to make a plan of action.”

"yes!"

"How is the progress of the patrol room's arrest of military commanders in Shanghai?" Cheng Qianfan also finished his meat porridge and asked casually as he watched Li Hao put away his bowls and chopsticks.

"Captain Pitt led people from the Political Division to supervise the arrests. The Political Division deliberately delayed the arrests, and in the end only two units in Shanghai District were busted." Li Hao said, "Fifteen people were arrested, but Captain Pitt cited insufficient evidence. They forcibly detained seven people and did not agree to the extradition request on the 76th."

Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly. This was the best possible role he could play in secretly stimulating Pitt by using Pitt's interest in safeguarding the glory of France, Pitt's sympathy for China's anti-Japanese actions, and his dislike of the Japanese.

　　"Arrange each patrol room and each patrol's performance in the arrest operation. I want to listen to the report." Cheng Qianfan ordered.

This kind of arrest of anti-Japanese elements at the request of the Japanese and traitors was also a screening and test for the attitude of the senior police officers of the patrol houses in the French Concession and the middle-level police officers of each patrol towards Japan.

 Being able to secretly grasp the attitude of the patrol officers towards the Japanese and the war against Japan, let alone whether to develop them to contribute to the war against Japan, but simply knowing their attitudes can save lives at critical moments.

 “Hao Zai is doing this.” Hao Zi said.

 Cheng Qianfan nodded.

Although he had some idea of ​​the public attitudes toward Japan of the top and second-in-commands of each of the six patrol houses in the French Concession, it was difficult to say what these people were thinking in private.

In addition, Cheng Qianfan believes that the attitude of police officers at the patrol house inspector level is to some extent even more important than that of the inspector, deputy chief inspector, and chief inspector, because these police officers are the ones who lead the team on the front line. .

“Brothers are strictly ordered to hide and wait, and no one is allowed to act rashly under the current situation.” Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression.

"Yes." Li Hao nodded, "I have already given the order."

He looked thoughtful and asked, "Brother Fan, the Shanghai District personnel detained by Captain Pitt are now being held in the shooting range (prison)."

"You are not allowed to have any contact with these people." Cheng Qianfan understood what Haozi was going to ask, and he said sternly, "This is also for Haozi and others. Without my order, do not have contact with these people, let alone go inquire about."

His expression was serious, "Even if I see Pao Ze from Shanghai District die in front of me, I still have to hold it back."

 “Understood.” Li Hao nodded with difficulty.

 …

 “Get rid of it.” Shao Mingkui wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered.

A patrolman suddenly searched the street where their apartment was located. Several people did not dare to stay in the apartment, so they climbed over the wall and left. They avoided the patrolman who set up a checkpoint in the alley and hid in the Hengtai Dance Hall on McHerves Road.

Hengtai Ballroom is quite spacious. When entering the door, there is an empty space on the left and a corridor on the right, which leads to the dance floor at the end.

There is also a stall room for "fighting" on the left.

Shao Mingkui was quite familiar with this dance hall. He knew that the gambling stall of "War Fighting" had a back door that few people knew about. After exiting the back door, there was a dead alley. However, after climbing over the low alley, there was a main road extending in all directions. The key was moments can serve as a fallback path.

 “Throw it away.” Zhan Hua nodded. He had been paying attention to whether there were any pursuers behind him.

Not long after the three of them sat down on the stage near the dance floor, they suddenly saw a person walking into the dance hall.

 Zhan Hua was so happy that he walked up to say hello.

 Cheng Xuyuan grabbed Zhanhua.

 “Don’t move.” Cheng Xuyuan whispered.

"Boss Tan suspects that something happened to Boss Chen?" Shao Mingkui understood Cheng Xuyuan's meaning and asked in a low voice.

 “Extraordinary times.” Cheng Xuyuan said.

Of course he had no evidence that something had happened to Chen Mingchu, but he subconsciously felt something was wrong.

He took a look and saw Chen Mingchu looking around, and his doubts increased.

 At this critical moment, isn’t Chen Mingchu afraid of arousing suspicion with his sneaky appearance?

 There was a crash.

When Zhanhua sat down, his elbow accidentally touched the water glass on the table. Fortunately, he quickly caught the glass with quick eyes and hands, but it still made a noise.

Oops.

 Cheng Xuyuan's heart sank.

Sure enough, the movement here attracted the attention of Chen Mingchu, who was looking around.

Chen Mingchu raised his eyes and saw Cheng Xuyuan and the others.

 He naturally knew Cheng Xuyuan, and he was also impressed by Zhanhua of the district accounting team.

As for the man on Cheng Xuyuan’s left, Chen Mingchu didn’t know him. However, he had a vague guess that this man might be Shao Mingkui who escaped from the chief arrester’s house in the public concession.

 “Boss Tan.” Chen Mingchu came up and shook hands with Cheng Xuyuan enthusiastically, “What a coincidence.”

“Boss Chen, what a coincidence.” Cheng Xuyuan said. As he spoke, he moved closer and lowered his voice, “Mingchu, you came just in time. I was just about to try to notify you.”

 “What’s wrong?” Chen Mingchu asked in confusion.

"Something happened." Cheng Xuyuan said, "There is a traitor within the organization. I am notifying all departments to take cover and pay attention to safety here."

"What?" Chen Mingchu was startled, "Who is the traitor?"

“It’s not clear yet.” Cheng Xuyuan shook his head, “We are checking.”

“Traitors and traitors should be punished by everyone.” Chen Mingchu gritted his teeth and asked, “How is Mr. Ling?”

Ling Qiuyun is the pseudonym of Shanghai District Mayor Zheng Lijun.

 “Mr. Ling is very good.” Cheng Xuyuan nodded.

 Chen Mingchu nodded and asked, "Mr. Wang is with me. Do you want to meet Mr. Wang?"

Cheng Xuyuan shook his head, "It's not like Brother Chen doesn't know about my relationship with him. I don't want to see him. I'll contact you again when necessary."

"They are all serving the party and the country. It is better to reconcile enemies than to make enemies." Chen Mingchu persuaded with a wry smile.

As soon as Wang Tiemufu arrived in Shanghai, he took Cheng Xuyuan's position as secretary, sent Cheng Xuyuan as a field officer, and promoted him to Chen Mingchu as secretary.

 It can be said that Cheng Xuyuan's relationship with him and Wang Iron Mu is not good. However, Chen Mingchu has a good temper and is good at making friends, and he and Cheng Xuyuan can still maintain a decent reputation. As for Wang Iron Mu, he and Cheng Xuyuan have fallen out.

“It’s better to go see Mr. Wang. At this critical moment, Mr. Wang also said that we should put aside the past grudges and work together to overcome the difficulties.” Chen Mingchu advised.

“I’m not going today. Tell me Mr. Wang’s address and I’ll go see him next time.” Cheng Xuyuan said.

Alarm bells were already ringing in his heart. Chen Mingchu's words made him suspicious. He understood Wang Zhimu's temper. This man claimed to be a veteran of the military system, so he would not take the initiative to bow his head and reconcile with him.

"Okay then." Chen Mingchu hesitated, his expression unnatural, and he seemed to think for a while before telling Wang Tiemu's address.

 After saying that, Chen Mingchu left on the grounds that something happened.

Cheng Xuyuan became suspicious and winked at Shao Mingkui, who immediately followed him.

Shao Mingkui saw Chen Mingchu parked on the corridor, facing the gate and with his back to the dance floor, whispering to a burly man.

Shao Mingkui was shocked. Knowing that the situation was not good, he turned around and ran back, calling Cheng Xuyuan and Zhan Hua to the stall where they were "fighting".

It was crowded inside, and the gamblers were fighting with red eyes.

 Cheng Xuyuan was moved in his heart and shouted, "'Mr. Little Cheng' is here to arrest someone."

Shao Mingkui understood and immediately shouted, "Run quickly, Cheng Qianfan is here to get someone."

 Everyone was shocked.

Because this dance hall and gambling stall belong to Zhang Xiaolin, "Mr. Xiao Cheng" has a grudge against Zhang Xiaolin. If he gets a whim one day, he will send patrols to search and arrest people.

All gambling funds were confiscated, and people were detained and required to pay a large bail to avoid disaster.

 Therefore, what people here are most afraid of is that Mr. Xiao Cheng and Zhang Xiaolin will have another argument, which will bring disaster to Chiyu.

 Suddenly, the scene was in chaos.

 The table was knocked over, gambling equipment and money were scattered on the floor, making the situation even more chaotic.

Shao Mingkui was very powerful. He led Cheng Xuyuan and Zhanhua through the crowd and went straight to the back door.

　　Out of the back door, climbed over the low wall, and entered the main road extending in all directions.

Previously, several people deliberately parked their cars far away in order to avoid attracting attention. Now it seemed that this was a wise decision. The three of them made a circle, found a parking place, and drove away quickly.

The three of them drove away and everyone was stunned.

 “Chen Mingchu is definitely a traitor.” Shao Mingkui cursed angrily.

Shao Mingkui, who was determined to avenge his relatives and friends who were killed, hated the traitors the most. He could not imagine what these weaklings thought, that they could kneel down and act like dogs to the Japanese who killed their relatives and compatriots.

“We must report to Chongqing immediately.” Cheng Xuyuan said with a serious expression.

 Chen Mingchu used to be the secretary of the Shanghai Station and the chief of the Personnel Section of the Shanghai Station. This person is too familiar with the Shanghai District. Once such a person becomes a traitor, it will do great harm to the Shanghai District.

He took Shao Mingkui and two of them to hide in Tibet. The reason why he did not go back to join his wife and children was because he was afraid that they would be targeted by the enemy and followed, which would harm his family.

However, now faced with this unexpected situation, Cheng Xuyuan must go back to see Gui Qian and ask his wife to send a report to Chongqing to report that Chen Mingchu had rebelled against the country and defected to Japan.

Not only Chen Mingchu, Cheng Xuyuan also had another worry in his mind.

 That is Wang Tiemu.

Chen Mingchu and Wang Ironmu were close. If Chen Mingchu had become a traitor, he would be the first to tell Wang Ironmu. Cheng Xuyuan suspected that Wang Ironmu might have fallen into the hands of his enemies.

As for whether Wang Tiemu also became a traitor like Chen Mingchu?

Cheng Xuyuan shook his head. Although he had a deep conflict with Wang Tiemu, from what he knew about Wang Tiemu, he was a tough guy, and he should not be one of those people who forget their ancestors.

 …

　　No. 22, Xue Huali Road.

Cheng Qianfan glanced at Da Toulu who knocked on the door and came in to report on his work, and his heart moved.
