Chapter 549 Password

   "Don't let people bother me."

   "Don't worry, Inspector Cheng, I will send someone to guard at the stairs, and no one will disturb your elegant mood."

   Araki Harima left.

  Cheng Qianfan asked the owner of the restaurant to serve a few dishes of appetizers, boiled a pot of flower carvings, and sat by the window to drink, eat vegetables, and enjoy the snow.

  His eyes were deep, hiding anger and grief.

   Araki Harima went here to continue to torture and interrogate Zheng Weilong. According to what Araki said, this time he was planning to electrocute Zheng Weilong.

  He didn't know whether Zheng Weilong, who had already suffered a round of brutal torture, could survive the electric shock.

  Electric torture is the most painful form of torture. It directly stimulates the nervous system. The current can be switched at will, and the location of the electric shock can also be adjusted according to the mental weakness of the victim. The victim usually suffers from painful vocal cord tearing, incontinence, and vomiting.

There is also the comrade who is being escorted from Beiping to Shanghai. According to Araki Harima, this comrade has endured cruel tortures, including electric shocks. He is still steadfast and unyielding. .

  Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette, took a puff, held it between his fingers, and frowned slightly.

   This time node gave him a headache.

  Peng and Ou just left Shanghai.

  He and 'Dandelion' agreed to meet in two days.

  Of course, if the situation is urgent, there is an emergency meeting channel.

  The so-called urgent situation refers to the urgency, for example, a major situation that endangers the safety of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee and the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee.

As far as this matter is concerned, he does not know much about the situation. He only knows that this comrade was sent to Peiping by the Shanghai side. On the way of escort.

  Cheng Qianfan was thinking about whether it was necessary to send a signal for an urgent meeting.

   In addition, there is another point that he has to guard against. These situations are all disclosed by Araki Harima. What if this is a trap?

  For example, the arrested comrade has defected?

  The Japanese move is to arrange for this person to re-enter the Shanghai Red Party.

  These vague information require him to study and judge, and try to make the correct decision.

   No, it is necessary.

  Once a wrong decision is made, there is no future.

  …

  Outside the window, snowflakes are flying.

   Several Japanese women in kimonos, holding small flower umbrellas, were walking in the snow, and there was a burst of laughter like silver bells.

  Behind them, several young men stalked, talked and laughed, and pointed at the citizens of the French Concession passing by from time to time, laughing wantonly.

  These are Japanese soldiers. They used their vacation time to change into casual clothes and brought their families to the French Concession for shopping.

  For these people, the concession authorities issued internal documents:

   They must be well protected, and they must not be harmed in any way, so as to avoid giving the Japanese an excuse to provoke.

  Cheng Qianfan couldn't help but sneered when he thought of Pete still insisting on saying 'The French Republic is the most powerful country in Europe'.

  What is the situation in mainland France in Europe?

France, which regards itself as 'freedom' and 'democracy', has announced a rule that all publications in the French Concession are not allowed to appear such as "Japanese invaders", "Japanese warlords", "Anti-Japanese War", "Anti-Japanese War", etc. Fierce speech.

  Therefore, in the newspapers or literary magazines in the French Concession, strange scenes such as the word "Japanese bandits" have been replaced by "X bandits", and "Down with Japan" have become "Down with XX".

  As far as Cheng Qianfan knew, it was Su Wenxi’s Avenue City Government who made this request to the Concession at first, but the French Concession sternly rejected it and ignored it at all.

  Subsequently, the Japanese master behind Su Wenxi jumped out, accusing the concession authorities of shielding those unfriendly to Japan, condoning anti-Japanese propaganda in the concession, and demonizing the peace-loving Great Japanese Empire.

  If so, the concession authorities quickly compromised.

  …

  The whistle of the Japanese gunboat came from the Huangpu River. Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette again and exhaled smoke.

  Everything shows that with the Japanese invaders pressing harder and harder and the concession authorities making concessions, the situation and environment of Shanghai's future war of resistance will become more and more severe.

  Among them, the French Concession authorities allowed the Super High School to participate in the interrogation of Zheng Weilong, and with Cheng Qianfan's secret observation, the Japanese even took the initiative in the interrogation, which is an extremely dangerous signal.

  …

  Political Office, Torture Room.

  Araki Harima stared coldly at Zheng Weilong, who was bound to the electric chair and had electrodes plugged into his body.

"Mr. Zheng, as long as I push the switch lightly, you will feel the feeling of wanting to die." Araki Harima grinned and sneered, "You still have time to speak, the Empire of Japan will recognize you as a friend of."

  Zheng Weilong's eyes were swollen like purple grapes, large pieces of rotten flesh were bruised, and there were whip marks all over his body.

  He didn't speak, just stared at Araki Harima with 'squinting eyes'.

  Araki Harima raised his wrist to look at the time, "Mr. Zheng, I respect your choice."

   As he spoke, he grinned grimly and pushed **** the switch.

  Accompanied by a heart-piercing scream, Zheng Weilong's whole body shook violently, and soon passed out.

  Araki Harima pulled the switch.

Beside   , an agent of the special high school stepped forward to check Zheng Weilong's situation carefully, and nodded to Araki Harima, indicating that he was still alive.

  The Chinese detective who was watching from the side gritted his teeth and turned his head to one side, unable to bear to look.

  The French detective Hall beside him was sitting on a swivel chair, holding a book in both hands, reading it with gusto, and only looked up occasionally.

  …

   A basin of cold water poured on Zheng Weilong's body.

   Zheng Weilong, who was woken up by the splash, had a dazed expression. He tried his best to open his eyes and looked around.

   This is one of the sequelae of electrocution. The victim's nerves and brain will be damaged, and it will take time to slowly return to normal.

  Araki Harima was not in a hurry, he lit a cigarette slowly, put it in his mouth, took two steps forward, leaned forward slightly, bent over, and stared at Zheng Weilong's somewhat distracted eyes.

  Finally, Zheng Weilong's eyes focused and his expression returned to normal.

   "Mr. Zheng, how do you feel?" Araki Harima patted Zheng Weilong's cheek and said with a smile.

   Zheng Weilong lowered his head and did not speak.

   "It seems that Mr. Zheng is not satisfied with this service." Harima Araki waved his hand, "Increase the voltage."

   Before he finished speaking, he heard Zheng Weilong's weak voice.

   "I, I said."

  …

  Cheng Qianfan hummed a ditty and returned to Xue Huali Road.

   "Brother Cheng." A car stopped beside him.

  The rear window rolled down, revealing Yuan Kaizhou's face.

   "Brother Yuan, where are you going to get rich?" Cheng Qianfan asked with a smile, putting one hand on the lower edge of the car window and the other casually on the roof of the car.

   "Make a fortune." Yuan Kaizhou cursed.

   As he spoke, he looked around and said in a low voice, "There was a murder case in Tongyu Hotel, and three people died. It is said that it was the hands of the gangster Jiang Mule."

   "Jiang Mule?" Cheng Qianfan raised his eyebrows and laughed, "This old thing is brave enough to come to the concession to make trouble. This time you, Chief Inspector Yuan, come out, and this old thing won't be able to jump around anymore."

   "Ginger mule is not so easy to catch." Yuan Kaizhou breathed out, "Stop talking, let's talk back."

   "Brother, I will be a host another day, treat my brother to a drink, and congratulate you for successfully capturing the gangster Jiang Mule." Cheng Qianfan laughed and said.

   "Then I'll just wait." Yuan Kaizhou smiled heartily, waved his hand, then raised the car window, his smile disappeared, "Let's drive."

   "Inspector, we haven't been to the scene yet, how do you know that Jiang Mule committed the crime?" asked a subordinate sitting in the co-pilot.

   "Why can't it be Jiang Mule?" Yuan Kaizhou asked with a slight smile.

  The subordinate was about to continue talking, but was poked quietly by the driver with his finger. He immediately understood and smiled mischievously, "Good advice, inspector."

  …

  Yuan Kaizhou lit a cigarette, he smoked very hard, and after a few puffs, the cigarette was gone.

  Among the curling white smoke, Yuan Kaizhou laughed.

  Cheng Qianfan has handled several high-profile cases, some of which are related to Jiang Mule.

  Yuan Kaizhou has been secretly concerned about this for a long time. He highly suspects that Jiang Mule has a connection with Cheng Qianfan.

  That's why he deliberately mentioned 'Jiang Mule' today, in order to test Cheng Qianfan's reaction.

  To his disappointment, Cheng Qianfan's reaction just now was not abnormal, it was completely a bystander's attitude.

   Could it be that my guess was wrong?

  Yuan Kaizhou frowned.

  The reason why he wanted to secretly target and investigate Cheng Qianfan was simple:

   Seeking the position of Deputy Chief Inspector of the Central Police Department.

  Jin Kemu has served as the acting chief inspector for several days, and will soon formally assume the post of chief inspector.

   Now there are rumors that the post of Deputy Chief Inspector will be promoted from among the several inspectors in the Central District Police Station.

  Yuan Kaizhou, Liang Yuchun and Cheng Qianfan are the three chief inspectors of the central police station.

  Perhaps in the eyes of most people, Liang Yuchun and Yuan Kaizhou, the two older inspectors, are the most qualified to be promoted to deputy chief inspectors.

  Even the people around Yuan Kaizhou think that his biggest competitor is his old rival Liang Yuchun.

  However, Yuan Kaizhou didn't think so.

  Intuition told him that Cheng Qianfan was the biggest threat to his pursuit of the position of Deputy Chief Inspector.

  Some people may use qualifications as an issue, thinking that Cheng Qianfan has insufficient qualifications.

  Yuan Kaizhou scoffed at this.

  Seniority?

  Before Cheng Qianfan, there had never been such a young inspector in the police station. Didn't Cheng Qianfan set a precedent?

  Cheng Qianfan likes his superiors, and he can win over his subordinates as well.

   And with the backing of Zhang Renfeng, the youth gang, there will be no hindrance from the gang.

  Besides, because of his teacher Xiu Gongshen, the French had a good impression of 'Xiao Cheng Inspector'.

  As for Pete from the investigation squad of the Political Department, he is Cheng Qianfan's business partner.

  The more Yuan Kaizhou analyzed, the more he believed that Cheng Qianfan would be his biggest competitor.

  If Cheng Qianfan has a shortcoming, it is that this guy is too close to Japan, which may make the French dislike it, or even be quite vigilant.

   All in all, Cheng Qianfan is the enemy.

  Yuan Kaizhou's purpose is to catch Cheng Qianfan's sore foot, disappoint the French, and finally 'kill' this competitor.

  …

  Central Patrol Room

  Cheng Qianfan walked towards the arresting hall leisurely, stood at the entrance of the steps, and saw a military truck driving out from the backyard, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed out of the gate with a bang.

   Several cars also rushed out of the gate.

   "Zheng Weilong, I still haven't made it through, I'm recruiting!" Cheng Qianfan's heart sank.

   Among the cars, one of the license plates belonged to a screw factory, but it was actually used by the special high school.

  Cheng Qianfan stood at the entrance of the steps, lit a cigarette, and took a deep breath.

  Compared with Wu Shanyue, Wang Kangnian, Ruan Zhiyuan and others, Zheng Weilong's performance was much better. He withstood the cruel torture, but finally did not survive the electric shock.

  Objectively speaking, Cheng Qianfan looks at Zheng Weilong with admiration. There are not many such tough guys in the government.

  Of course, what he is most worried about at this time is the possible danger to Shanghai Station after Zheng Weilong speaks.

  It has been a day and a night since Zheng Weilong was arrested and when he spoke. The Shanghai station should have basically completed the transfer.

  However, after all, Zheng Weilong is the station master of the Shanghai Station, and he may have mastered some high-level secrets that other senior officials of the Secret Service do not know.

  Looking at the hastily dispatched posture of the armored convoy of the Political Department and the Super High School, Cheng Qianfan has reason to judge that Zheng Weilong has confessed something extraordinary.

  …

   Then throw the cigarette **** under the steps.

  Cheng Qianfan patted the police uniform and observed the surrounding situation vigilantly.

  He was so anxious that he knew that he had to report to the secret service headquarters immediately and send out another warning signal.

  However, he had just returned to the patrol room from the outside, and when he saw the scene just now, he left abruptly.

  He must have a more reasonable reason.

   At this moment, the door of the medical room opened.

Lao Huang held an empty wine bottle in his hand, came out with a toothpick in his mouth, and then put the empty wine bottle in the corner. He bent down, pointed his buttocks at Cheng Qianfan, picked up a broom, and began to clean the hospital. The road at the door of the room.

  Cheng Qianfan's eyes narrowed, he bent down and patted the mud stains on his leather boots, stretched himself, and went straight into the arresting hall.

  Here, Lao Huang never looked up, hiccupped, hummed a tune, and swept the snow slowly.

  …

  In the office.

  Cheng Qianfan stood by the window sill and pulled up the blinds.

  Take out a cigarette from the cigarette case, put it in your mouth, turn the lighter wheel to ignite it, take a light puff, and casually glance out the window.

  The figure of a person came into view.

   is Zhao Shuli.

   He frowned slightly.

   Zhao Shuli, he still couldn't see through.

  Yes, Lao Huang secretly signaled him to warn him just now, reminding him that someone is secretly watching him.

  Old Huang is not a diligent person, and he will not take the initiative to clean up the snow.

  Old Huang turned his back to him and picked up the broom.

   is the secret signal: behind, clean up (attention).

  At this moment, in the yard, Lao Huang had already thrown the broom and went back to the medical room cursing.

   What he scolded was: These lazy bastards, why should the old man let me sweep the snow?

  Cheng Qianfan looked over, Lao Huang only cleaned the front, back, left, and right sides of the door within half a meter, the broom fell on the snow, and Lao Huang stepped on it cursingly, breaking the broom handle.

  He chuckled, this old Huang is very experienced in doing things, so he doesn't need to worry about anything.

  …

  Shuli Zhao left the police station, hailed a rickshaw, and got off after a few streets.

  Enter a small alley.

  He looked around vigilantly, and knocked on the door of a Shikumen residence.
