Chapter 1229 Cangyun Temple

 “These bullshits are never honest.” Su Chende snorted coldly.

Page 76 has its own intelligence sources. According to the information obtained by the secret service headquarters, there are reports of Taoist priests participating in anti-Japanese actions from various places. Among them, there are even Taoist priests directly participating in the Red Party’s New Fourth Army and the National Army.

Among them, the Taoist priests in Maoshan were the worst. Not only did they protect the New Fourth Army, but some Taoist priests went directly down the mountain to join the New Fourth Army in fighting the Japanese army.

This also aroused the rage of the Japanese. Just last year, the Japanese raided the New Fourth Army garrison in Maoshan. The 2,000-year-old Qianyuan Temple in Maoshan was destroyed, and many Taoist priests died unexpectedly.

“Based on these investigations, in your opinion, is this ‘little Taoist priest’ a nickname, or is he indeed a Taoist priest currently hiding in a Taoist temple?” Su Chende asked Rong Yun.

“Director,” Rong Yun said thoughtfully, “I have thought about it carefully and my opinion is that this person should be a real Taoist priest, or that he is a Taoist priest.”

After a pause, Rong Yun continued, "This is what I think. If this person is a real Taoist priest, then as long as he secretly investigates the Taoist temple, he will be able to find some clues."

"That makes sense." Su Chende nodded, "I'll leave this matter to you."

He looked at Rong Yun and said, "Remember, this is a meticulous job. It's okay to work slowly and carefully. The first thing is not to alert the snake."

As long as he can catch clues about the Shanghai special case team and catch Xiao Mian's tail, he is not afraid of delaying time. Even if he investigates slowly for several months, he doesn't mind. As long as the result is good, everything will be fine.

 “The subordinates understand.”

“You can try to target those Taoist temples that have obvious dissatisfaction with the Japanese or have anti-Japanese backgrounds.” Su Chende warned.

"Yes." Rong Yun nodded and said, looking thoughtful, "When the director said this, my subordinates thought of such a thing."

 “Oh?” Su Chende became interested, “Can you tell me?”

"It's an old thing." Rong Yun said, "I remember that on January 28, there were Taoist priests who helped the rebels of the 19th Route Army fight the Japanese, and many Taoist priests died."

"Check." Su Chende immediately ordered, "find out which Taoist temples these Taoist priests come from."

The Taoist priests in these Taoist temples have a blood feud with the Japanese, and those living Taoist priests will definitely not be content. The most important thing is that he understands the military commander's behavior better. The military commander likes to recruit those who have blood feud with the Japanese. These Taoist priests are obviously very suitable. condition.

“Mr. Liu, should you give me an explanation?” Jin Kemu looked at the man in front of him with an unkind expression.

"What kind of explanation does Mr. Jin want?" Mr. Liu stood up and poured wine into Jin Kemu's wine cup and said with a smile.

Looking at Jin Kemu's unhappy expression, he shook his head, "If Liu said that the person was not ours, would Mr. Jin believe it?"

"It doesn't belong to you?" Jin Kemu frowned, "It doesn't belong to you, either?"

After getting Xiang Wei from Cheng Qianfan, Jin Kemu secretly notified the military commander in Shanghai:

One of your brothers who assassinated Cheng Qianfan is alive, and this person has confessed.

 A few days later, Xiang Wei died of poisoning.

Jin Kemu naturally thought that this was the military commander's arrangement for "cleaning up the door."

But they didn't expect this person to say that Xiang Wei was not one of theirs.

“No.” Mr. Liu smiled bitterly and said, “We do not have the Sixth Detachment of the Shanghai District Action Brigade.”

“However, this person confessed with certainty that they were the Sixth Detachment of the Shanghai District Operation Brigade of the Military Command.” Jin Kemu said with a frown.

If Xiang Wei was indeed not the commander of the military, then he had done more harm than good. If he had known this, he would never have taken someone from Cheng Qianfan, let alone die because of Xiang Wei's poisoning. There was a conflict with Cheng Qianfan.

"He is indeed not one of ours." Mr. Liu said categorically. He took a sip of wine and continued, "Not to mention anything else, without Chongqing's order, we will not easily attack people like Cheng Qianfan."

 Hearing what ‘Mr. Liu’ said, Jin Kemu nodded slightly.

now it's right.

In fact, he was surprised when he learned that Cheng Qianfan was assassinated on the Bund and that the assassin came from the military-controlled Shanghai District.

More than two years ago, Cheng Qianfan was assassinated at the Terrasto Road Police Hospital. The impact of that incident was so bad that the French Concession authorities lodged strong dissatisfaction and protest with Chongqing. After that, based on what Jin Kemu learned, Chongqing The assassination campaign targeting French Concession officials has been carried out with great caution.

Especially for French Concession officials like Cheng Qianfan who are quite influential in the French Concession and Shanghai Bund, Chongqing is even more afraid to take action.

"The problem now is that Cheng Qianfan has concluded that the assassination on the Bund was the work of the Sixth Detachment of your Operations Brigade." Jin Kemu said thoughtfully, "I have to remind you that Cheng Qianfan is very afraid of death. For any behavior that may endanger his life, He will be merciless in his revenge."

“This is exactly why I came to see Mr. Jin today.” Mr. Liu said seriously.

 “What does Mr. Liu mean?” Jin Kemu thought thoughtfully.

"Please ask Mr. Jin to send a message to Vice President Cheng on behalf of our district seat." Mr. Liu clasped his fists, "Just say that what happened on the Bund was definitely not our fault. I hope Vice President Cheng will not be fooled by the Japanese." .”

"What you mean is that what happened on the Bund was because the Japanese called "Catch Thieves"? Jin Kemu frowned. He didn't quite agree with the other party's explanation, because based on Jin Kemu's understanding of the close relationship between Cheng Qianfan and the Japanese, if the Japanese needed anything, they would ask Cheng Qianfan's need for help can be mentioned directly to Cheng Qianfan, and there is no need to use such methods.

"It's hard to say." Mr. Liu shook his head, "But it is true that this matter was not done by our people."

"Okay, I will help you bring it to Chen District." Jin Kemu nodded, "As for whether Cheng Qianfan will believe it, I can't guarantee it."

"Thank you." Mr. Liu clasped his fists and said solemnly. Then, there was a hint of cruelty and determination in his eyes, "I have explained repeatedly that if this 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' is still stubborn, we will also Not vegetarian.”

 …

"What are you thinking about?" Jin Kemu flicked the ashes of his cigarette and asked Su Zhe.

Su Zhe looked away from the rickshaw that was far away. He looked at Jin Kemu and said, "Mr. Jin, this person is very vigilant."

"Have you sent someone to follow him?" Jin Kemu's expression changed and he asked hurriedly.

"No." Su Zhe shook his head, "Without President Jin's order, how could my subordinates dare to act without authorization?"

 “It’s okay if you don’t.” Jin Kemu glared at Su Zhe.

This kind of behavior of sending people to follow you secretly is a taboo.

And, most importantly, there are only disadvantages and no advantages in doing so.

"Mr. Jin, Vice President Cheng was very disrespectful in front of you yesterday..." Su Zhe glanced at Jin Kemu and said as if he had no intention.

“Okay, stop putting eye drops in front of me.” Jin Kemu pointed at Su Zhe and scolded with a smile, “I heard about it. When you learned that Qian Fan was assassinated on the Bund, you took a lot of gloating.”

"No." Su Zhe denied repeatedly, "Mr. Jin, you have repeatedly told us to unite."

He quickly said, "My subordinates don't dare to say words that are not conducive to unity."

“You also know that we need to be united.” Jin Kemu sneered, “In the future, you will stop giving Qianfan eye drops at my place, which will save me a headache.”

Su Zhe smiled and did not dare to say anything more.   …

The atmosphere at No. 22 Xue Huali Road is a bit solemn.

 In the afternoon, Vice President Cheng had another quarrel in Mr. Jin’s office. Many policemen saw “Little Mr. Cheng” slamming the door angrily and leaving.

 For a while, everyone in the central patrol room was also cautious, lest they did something insincerely and receive many reprimands in vain.

 Inside the Inspector General's office.

Jin Kemu crossed his legs, but he didn't look at all like he had just had a heated argument with his deputy.

“This kid really wants money.” Jin Kemu shook his head and laughed, “How audacious!”

It is true that Cheng Qianfan was very angry after hearing the explanation he conveyed from Juntong Shanghai District, and even slammed the door and left.

 But the most important thing is what Cheng Qianfan said before he left angrily.

 “It’s all empty talk, they say they didn’t do it, that’s enough? What do you think of me, Cheng Qianfan?”

 Cheng Qianfan's attitude was very clear. Military Tong's explanation was too thin and unconvincing.

 This means that he is willing to accept the explanation from the military commander, or to put it bluntly, regardless of whether the military commander did it or not, he is willing to accept the olive branch offered by the military commander, but this olive branch must be sincere.

 No wonder Jin Kemu shook his head and laughed, saying that Cheng Qianfan was so bold:

Jun Tong’s explanation is not weighty enough. To make him believe it, it can’t just be a light word, it must be sincere.

 Asking for compensation from the military commander, does this guy really think he has a long life?

 …

“Do you think Jin Kemu is the military commander?” Araki Harima couldn’t help but frown and asked after listening to his friend’s report.

"Not really." Cheng Qianfan shook his head. "I tend to think that he has some connections with Chongqing. The military commander also knows that Jin Kemu is close to Chongqing, so he found him to pass the message."

Araki Harima nodded, "Your analysis makes sense, but at least it shows that there is some connection between Jin Kemu and Juntong."

“In other words, by keeping an eye on Jin Kemu, we can discover the whereabouts of the military reunification elements.” Cheng Qianfan said.

 In his heart, he was actually extremely dissatisfied with the decision of the military commander in Shanghai to ask Jin Kemu to send a message to him. It could even be said that he was secretly angry to the point of swearing.

 It can be called stupid.

 This was his attitude on the matter.

This approach of the military commander will virtually put Jin Kemu, the chief inspector of the patrol room who is close to Chongqing, in danger.

 The importance of a chief inspector of the Central Patrol Room who is close to Chongqing can be imagined, but now it is equivalent to directly pushing Jin Kemu into an extremely dangerous situation with the Japanese.

Even if you want to explain this matter to him, Cheng Qianfan, there can be other better or more covert channels.

  For example, a letter or a parcel is sent anonymously.

 Even a phone call will do.

 The choice of Jin Kemu as the intermediary messenger is extremely stupid.

 “Yes.” Araki Harima nodded, “Be patient.”

He looked at Kentaro Miyazaki and said, "As long as we have enough patience, we will definitely be able to find out the military element who has connections with Jin Kemu."

As he said that, he couldn't help but ask, "The military commander of Shanghai District said that they were not responsible for the assassination on the Bund. What do you think?"

"Maybe it's true, maybe it's just a delaying tactic." Cheng Qianfan sneered and said, "It doesn't matter anymore. What is certain now is that Chen Gongshu must be very angry."

It is strange that Chen Gongshu is so angry that he is blatantly demanding "sincerity" from the military to reunify the Shanghai District.

“Miyazaki-kun, your response is great.” Araki Harima also said with excitement.

Even though he felt that he was smarter and adaptable than his friend Miyazaki, Araki had to admit that Kentaro Miyazaki's response this time was very timely and a stroke of genius.

Miyazaki Kentaro's move will directly anger the Shanghai District and Chen Gongshu.

 As the saying goes, if you start an army in anger, there will inevitably be loopholes and mistakes.

“I also had an idea at that time and thought of it.” Cheng Qianfan said, his brows wrinkled slightly as he spoke, “Araki-kun, this will anger Chen Gongshu, wouldn’t I be in great danger?”

 …

 No. 76, Jisfield Road.

Rong Yun hurriedly knocked on the door of the director's office of the Fourth Department of the Secret Service Headquarters.

“Director, we found it.” Rong Yun said with an excited expression.

“Tell me, what are they?” Su Chende asked immediately.

“On January 28, there were several Taoist priests from Taoist temples in Shanghai fighting together with the rebels of the 19th Route Army.” Rong Yun said, “These Taoist priests suffered many casualties.”

As he spoke, he handed over a piece of paper with the names of three Taoist temples written on it: 'Cangyun Temple', 'Changsong Temple', and 'Changde Temple'.

“According to the investigation by my subordinates, Taoist Master Changsong of Changsongguan was the most active at that time. This person persuaded many Taoist priests to fight against the Japanese.” Rong Yun said.

“Tell me about the situation of these three Taoist temples.” Su Chende asked immediately.

"Taoist Changsong and his disciples are dead, Taoist Changde and Cangyun are also dead at that time." Rong Yun said, "Not only are these three Taoist priests dead, Changsongguan and Changde are also dead. The view also later turned into scorched earth.”

 “Where is Cangyun Temple?” Su Chende thought for a moment and asked.

"Cangyun Temple is fine." Rong Yun said. He thought for a while and said, "It can't be said that everything is fine. Although the Taoist temple is still there, there are not many Taoist priests in the temple. Some died, some escaped, and some left behind They are all fairly honest Taoist priests."

Su Chende smiled and said, "Since there are people who have an honest duty, naturally there are also people who are not so honest."

“The Director of the Department has a clear view of thousands of miles.” Rong Yun also smiled and said, “Among the remaining Taoist priests in Cangyun Temple, there are indeed a few who are not so honest, and one person in particular is the most honest.”

 “Which one?” Su Chende asked.

"Qingji." Rong Yun said, "A Taoist priest named Qingji, who is a direct disciple of Cangyun Taoism, has been clamoring to avenge his master."

"Qingji." Su Chende read the name, thoughtfully, and then suddenly asked, "Among those honest Taoist priests, are there any who, despite their honest temperament, are often absent from meditation?" of?"
