Chapter 561 The man at the police hospital

 Telastro Road, French Concession Police Hospital.

 Two cars, one behind the other, braked suddenly and stopped at the entrance of the hospital.

 Cheng Qianfan jumped out of the cab, then walked around to the passenger cab, opened the door, and helped Pete get out of the car.

Lu Jiufan also came over immediately with two patrolmen.

 The two men rushed into the hospital hall under the protection of three men with live ammunition.

 "Doctor! Doctor!" Cheng Qianfan shouted loudly.

 “What about Mozi?” asked a doctor with a Sichuan accent.

 After seeing clearly that it was the famous Inspector Cheng, a smile immediately broke out on his angry face, "Inspector Cheng, who are you?"

Then, he noticed Pete, frowned and asked, "Why is Lieutenant Pete injured?"

“Lieutenant Pitt was attacked by thugs and shot in the shoulder.” Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice, “If you pretend to be a doctor, please arrange surgery immediately.”

 “No problem.” Dr. Mao nodded.

“Do you still have sulfa?” Cheng Qianfan asked.

“Yes, some are registered, but they dare not take medicine without the approval of Inspector Cheng.” Dr. Mao said quickly.

 Cheng Qianfan prepared five boxes of sulfa powder at the Terrace Road Police Hospital.

This is his private medicine, just in case of emergency. No one can use these boxes of sulfa powder privately without Inspector Xiao Cheng’s personal nod.

“Don’t tell Linda that I was shot.” ​​Pete suddenly said to Cheng Qianfan.

 “I understand.” Cheng Qianfan nodded.

 …

  Turning around, Cheng Qianfan waited for Peter to enter the operating room, and then asked for three phone calls.

 A phone call was made to the Political Division of the Patrol Room.

He reported to Mr. Xi Neng, the leader of the investigation team of the Political Department, that he and Peter were almost killed by a grenade.

Moreover, under the leadership of Lieutenant Pete, the deputy squad leader, he fought bravely with the thugs.

 The heroic Lieutenant Pitt was unfortunately shot during a fierce battle with the enemy.

Your Excellency Xi Neng was extremely angry.

 The second call was made to Xiu Gongshen from the Translation Office of the Political Division.

“Teacher, someone secretly put a grenade in my briefcase and wanted to blow me up.” Cheng Qianfan said in a low voice.

"What?" Xiu Gongshen stood up from the office chair and asked in surprise, "How are you? Are you injured?"

“Fortunately, I found it in time and threw the briefcase out.” Cheng Qianfan held the cigarette in his mouth and touched his body. Only then did he remember that he had thrown away his gold lighter in ‘fury’.

"Wang Kangnian appeared at the scene. I don't know why. His men opened fire and attacked Pete and me. When we fired back, Pete was shot." Cheng Qianfan spoke a little fast and his voice was a little urgent, "I captured Wang Kangnian. Waiting for someone.”

“I understand.” Xiu Gongshen nodded, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of everything.”

 …

“Hello, have you finished your call?” A man waiting to call asked impatiently.

 Cheng Qianfan put down the phone, hung up, then picked up the phone again and asked for a third call.

 “You’re a bastard—” the man cursed and was about to rush up and hit someone.

Lu Jiufan was about to go up and get someone.

Cheng Qianfan turned his head and looked at this person coldly with gloomy eyes.

“Cheng, Inspector Cheng—” The man was stunned, his mind seemed to be turning over, remembering various rumors about this person, his mouth opened wide, and he was shocked.

 “Get out!” Cheng Qianfan frowned and uttered one word.

“Eh, hey, get out of here!” The man slapped himself lightly, smiled, and ran away.

“Inspector, do you want it?” Lu Jiufan asked in a low voice. As he spoke, he lit a match and helped Inspector Cheng light his cigarette.

"What?" Cheng Qianfan asked. Before Lu Jiufan could answer, the call was connected.

 …

This call was made to Pete's home, and it was Linda who answered the phone.

 Cheng Qianfan told Linda the news that Pete had been shot in a worried and urgent tone, and then heard the exclamations and sobs on the other side of the phone.

After asking where Peter was now, Linda hurriedly hung up the phone.

“Inspector, didn’t Lieutenant Pitt say not to tell Ms. Linda?” Lu Jiufan was a little surprised and asked.

 “You don’t understand.” Cheng Qianfan shook his head.

Lu Jiufan scratched his head, he really didn’t understand.

"Lock him up first. I want to see who wants to kill me." Then, he heard the inspector holding a cigarette between his teeth and saying with murderous intent.

 “Understood.” Lu Jiufan nodded vigorously.

 “Give me fire.” Cheng Qianfan said.

 “Yes!” Lu Jiufan handed a box of matches in his pocket to the inspector.

 …

Lu Jiufan went to catch the person just now. He had previously ordered one of his men to follow him secretly.

 “Stay guard at the door.” Cheng Qianfan ordered the remaining subordinates.

"yes!"

 He himself entered the temporary lounge provided by the doctor specially for him and closed the door.

Inspector Xiao Cheng, who had been holding on, leaned against the wall.

Then, like soft noodles, he slid down the wall, and finally sat down on the floor. He took out his Golden Brand cigarette, lit several matches in a row, and then lit the cigarette and started smoking.

 His hands were shaking.

 There were also beads of sweat on his forehead.

　　I took several puffs in a row, and finally I choked and coughed repeatedly.

 …

“He was frightened, tut tut.” A middle-aged man wearing a white coat and a mask held a telescope with both hands, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

As he spoke, he turned to look at Sanbonjiro next to him, "Is this Kentaro Miyazaki, whom Sanbonji praised so much?"

Mimotojiro's face looked a little ugly. "Miyazaki-kun is a very outstanding young man. He has always behaved very calmly. This time he lost his composure. Something big must have happened that we don't know about."

He cursed secretly in his heart.

Today he came to the Terrace Road Police Hospital to secretly meet with this person. Because of Kentaro Miyazaki's special relationship with this person, he naturally had a lot of praise in his words. Unexpectedly, it was self-defeating and he was ridiculed by this person.

The most unexpected thing for Sanbonjiro was why Kentaro Miyazaki suddenly appeared in the police hospital in the patrol room.

 “No matter how big something happens, this is too cowardly.” The man shook his head.

However, this person was quite objective. From the window in the corridor, he could see that Kentaro Miyazaki behaved normally when giving orders to the people around him. He was even quite calm and majestic. So he paused and added, "Behave in front of others." It’s not bad, it didn’t publicly disgrace the empire.”

 …

Jiro Sanmoto glanced at the man, "Aren't you going to meet Kentaro Miyazaki?"

"Why are we meeting?" The man put down his telescope and glanced at Sanbonjiro, "Although I am his teacher, I am actually his teacher in name only. I have not met him a few times, let alone a teacher-student relationship."

As he spoke, he sneered, "Next time I return to Peking, I will ask Mr. Taniguchi how he taught such a timid student."

 Sanbonjiro smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said nothing more.

He accidentally learned that this man and Miyazaki Kentaro actually had a teacher-student relationship, so he intended to use this to enhance his relationship with this man, but unexpectedly it seemed to be self-defeating.

This person seems to be only a nominal teacher of Miyazaki Kentaro, and has a poor relationship with Miyazaki Kentaro's teacher Hiroyuki Taniguchi.

 …

 Cheng Qianfan put out his cigarette butt.

 He took out another cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it with a match, took a heavy puff, and exhaled a stream of smoke.

 He breathed a long sigh of relief amid the smoke.

At the same time, the corner of his eye glanced in the direction of the window without any trace.

About two or three minutes later, he finally confirmed that the other party had left, either put down the telescope and stopped looking over, or stopped monitoring him for the time being.

While making the call, he noticed a flash of light.

 This is the reflection from the telescope.

 He immediately made an inference.

Of course, it could also be the reflection of a mirror.

However, Cheng Qianfan did not dare to be careless and was alert.

　　After entering the room, he pretended to be alone and showed his frightened "true face". Then he pretended to be limp and slid down the wall.

 At the same time, he secretly observed with vigilance.

Sure enough, when his body slid down and sat on the floor, a light spot flashed by. This was when the light passed through the lens of the telescope and refracted with the glass of the window while searching for his trace. light and shadow.

 …

 At this moment, Cheng Qianfan’s mind was filled with all kinds of questions.

Who is the other party?

 Why are you observing him secretly?

 Is it a coincidence?

 Or have you been targeted?

 There are two types of people being targeted:

 Have you been being followed all the way to the police hospital?

Or has he already been listed as a target of suspicion by some people for some reason, or simply because there is something fishy about this place. Once anyone approaches this place, they will be secretly watched and their purpose of coming here will be suspected?

 These are two completely different concepts.

 …

 Also, how could Comrade Narcissus be exposed?

Wang Kangnian obviously went for Comrade Narcissus. What channels and methods did he use to target the nursery?

  Is there a direct connection between the exposure of Comrade "Daffodil" and the sacrifice of Comrade Da Zhuang?

Or is there a link between them that connects them? A traitor appears in Italy—

This person first betrayed Da Zhuang and then betrayed Comrade Miao Pu? !

 Cheng Qianfan flicked the ashes from his cigarette, his expression changing continuously. He needed further information for his reference and analysis!

 …

Comrade ‘Daffodil’ must not fall into the hands of the enemy.

Although Miaopu didn’t know who prepared the certain mission and code word she was waiting for, let alone the existence of ‘flame’.

  Objectively speaking, ‘daffodils’ are unlikely to pose any risk of exposure to ‘flame’.

However, Cheng Qianfan knew that he had to rescue him as much as possible.

 There is a hidden connection between 'Daffodil' and 'Flame' that even 'Narcissus' himself doesn't know about.

Although 'Narcissus' doesn't know it himself, once 'Narcissus' falls into the enemy's hands, the worst case scenario is that 'Darcissus' fails to withstand the enemy's torture and confesses the mission and code words, which is itself a Hidden danger.

 Although this hidden danger may be very small, and the enemy will look for him in the reverse direction through the "narcissus", and the possibility of catching him is extremely low, the enemy must know the existence of such an extremely covert Red Party agent.

 This itself is a hidden danger.

 The dangers in the two situations are completely different between being known by the enemy and not being known by the enemy.

In addition, Cheng Qianfan must not be careless, because he only learned about whether Narcissus knew about Huo Miao, or how much information he knew about him, from Peng and Ou.

In case there are details that neither Peng nor Ou noticed, it can provide certain directionality for the "narcissus".

Then, Cheng Qianfan is still at risk of exposure.

 …

Take the fact that during his stay in Hangzhou, he helped the Hangcheng Red Party narrowly avoid the conspiracy set by the Japanese.

Wen Changjian should not have known about the code name "Butterfly Flower" itself and the fact that "Butterfly Flower" was the person who wrote the code book for the anti-Japanese armed forces of our party in Northeast China.

Even the Hangzhou Red Party, until the moment they learned the truth, did not expect that Wen Changjian, a person who should not know about this matter, would know such an absolute secret.

The news was leaked by Wen Changjian by accident from Huang Lei. Even Huang Lei, an old party member, did not realize that he had inadvertently leaked a highly confidential secret.

Cheng Qianfan had met with Comrade "Nongfu" before. Comrade "Nongfu" had mentioned this matter and conveyed the gratitude of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee and the Hangzhou Municipal Party Committee to him, an "unnamed" underground party comrade, so Cheng Qianfan knew about this matter. The whole story.

Therefore, taking this as a guide, Cheng Qianfan was not sure whether Comrade "Daffodil" knew nothing about him at all.

 So, Cheng Qianfan, who was highly vigilant, immediately made a decision. In order to protect the safety of the party’s important latent agent ‘Huo Miao’, he must save Miaopu—

 Without exposing oneself.

 This is the reason he convinced himself!

He was unwilling to admit that the reason why he took action was: this was his comrade!

At this moment, he could no longer watch his comrades being arrested and even killed by the enemy in cold blood.

 He needs to find a reason to take action.

  It may endanger the safety of the ‘fire’, this is the most appropriate reason.

 Yes, if there is a comparison of importance, the ‘flame’ is more important, the ‘narcissus’ can be sacrificed, and the ‘fire’ should be protected, as much as possible.

 That’s how cruel it is.

This importance does not mean that one of the comrades is nobler than the other, but rather the difference in position and the help that this position may bring to the party and the people.

Perhaps in another time and place, Comrade Narcissus has urgent information. At that time, Comrade Narcissus was more important than Huo Miao, and Huo Miao would not hesitate to sacrifice himself to protect Narcissus.

 Cheng Qianfan took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and lit the cigarette butt.

 He took several sharp puffs.

 Just like the flames of this pair of fires, although they are very dim, they are very important.

 He wants to find a reason for himself to take the risk to rescue "Daffodil".

If in the flash of lightning, he does not find a reason worth taking the risk, then he must stand still and watch the "Daffodil" be arrested or even killed.

This is cruel and strict organizational discipline:

As a very special ace agent, ‘Huo Miao’ has the right to make temporary decisions. However, this temporary ‘decision-making power’ is limited and must have legitimate ‘reasons’ that are recognized by the organization and do not violate organizational disciplines and principles.
