Chapter 564 Acting Skills

 “Are you okay?” Lao Huang poured Cheng Qianfan a glass of wine and asked.

Cheng Qianfan picked up the wine glass, took a sip slowly, and sighed, "Escape from death."

As he spoke, he spit out the wine in his mouth, then turned towards the door, facing the sun, and looked down at the wine glass, "Old Huang, the wind is strong, the door is closed, and all the ashes on your door are covered. Got drunk."

Lao Huang muttered that there was dust in the wine, so that was enough for the taste. However, he finally got up and closed the door.

"What happened? You actually used this method!" Lao Huang asked in a low voice, with a solemn expression.

The incident spread quickly. Before Datulu led his people back to the patrol room, enthusiastic citizens who had witnessed the explosion and gun battle rushed to tell each other:

 Inspector Xiao Cheng went to the Vienna Ballroom to perform, but he didn't expect that a "bomb" was put in his briefcase. Unfortunately, God is not discerning, and Inspector Cheng actually escaped and was not bombed.

When Lao Huang heard about this, he went to the toilet to urinate. On his way back, he passed by Qianfan's office window and saw three circles on the calendar on Inspector Xiao Cheng's desk.

 He left the patrol room in a swaggering manner.

Lao Huang is not worried about anyone suspecting him. He is either drinking or on the way to buy wine. It is common for him to disappear.

 Subsequently, Lao Huang came to a house about two miles away from the patrol house. This was a house he secretly rented in the name of someone else.

Here, Lao Huang picked up a briefcase that was exactly the same as Cheng Qianfan's and left quickly.

This briefcase was the one that the police later found in a ditch near the Vienna Ballroom.

 …

 Cheng Qianfan actually has three identical briefcases.

 There will be two briefcases at home, and there will be another one here for Lao Huang.

 Three briefcases, which he will use in turn.

 And will 'maintain' it very carefully to keep the three briefcases looking exactly the same as much as possible.

 The grenade in the briefcase was prepared by Cheng Qianfan for unexpected situations. The main purpose was to create chaos. Of course, if necessary, this grenade would also become a glorious bomb for Comrade Huo Miao.

This plan is not perfect. It is only suitable when Cheng Qianfan is in the French Concession and as close as possible to the central patrol house. Only in this way can Lao Huang have time to complete the remediation.

 In fact, the most suitable person to do this remedial work is Li Hao, who often follows Cheng Qianfan.

However, Cheng Qianfan thought twice and still did not choose Haozi to do this.

Haozi is not a comrade within the party, and because it is impossible to determine whether this unexpected situation involves the Red Party, Li Hao cannot be used for safety reasons.

For example, if Li Hao is arranged to remedy today's incident, then if Li Hao later learns that the inside story of the incident actually involves the traitor Wang Kangnian leading a team to arrest the Red Party, he will inevitably be confused and will most likely suspect that he has something to do with the Red Party. relation.

 …

“The purpose of Wang Kangnian’s trip is to lead a team to secretly arrest Nursery, a female employee of the telegraph office.” Cheng Qianfan took a sip of wine and whispered, “This is our comrade.”

 “Did you run away?” Lao Huang asked hurriedly.

 “Run away.” Cheng Qianfan briefly told what happened.

 “Good luck.” Lao Huang said with a smile, showing his yellow teeth.

Cheng Qianfan knew what the good luck Lao Huang was talking about, referring to the fact that he had a grenade in his briefcase today:

Hand grenades are not always kept in the briefcase. They are only put in the briefcase when Cheng Qianfan thinks it is necessary to take certain precautions.

 As for when it is necessary, it is entirely up to Cheng Qianfan himself.

 Lao Huang saw that the three circles on Cheng Qianfan’s desk calendar represented grenades:

 Explain that Cheng Qianfan put a grenade in his briefcase today.

 This is the coded message Cheng Qianfan left specifically for Lao Huang.

As he said that, Lao Huang frowned again, "It didn't violate organizational discipline."

The identity of Comrade Huo Miao is highly confidential. From a rational point of view, it is understandable that Cheng Qianfan could not just watch his comrade being arrested and chose to decisively rescue him.

 However, from the perspective of organizational discipline, the ‘flame’ is too important. For the safety of the ‘flame’, it is best for Cheng Qianfan not to do anything.

Even if you have to act, you must be extremely careful and ensure your own safety.

 Obviously, today's situation is very dangerous, and Cheng Qianfan's actions are risky and do not meet the requirements of ensuring his own safety.

 …

 “This person must be saved,” Cheng Qianfan said.

 Lao Huang nodded and did not ask any more questions.

Since ‘Huo Miao’ said that he must be saved, he certainly had his reasons. It should be that the inside information was confidential and it was inconvenient to reveal it.

Although ‘Huo Miao’ is young, he is a proven veteran party member. He has strict organizational discipline and will not do anything that violates organizational discipline.

"You disrupted Wang Kangnian's arrest plan and arrested Wang Kangnian. How do you plan to respond to Sanben?" Lao Huang asked.

"I've been prepared, don't worry." Cheng Qianfan didn't explain too much. Time was running out. He looked at Lao Huang and said with a serious expression, "The nursery was exposed because of the traitor's betrayal."

 Lao Huang's face changed.

 Shanghai party organizations have suffered great losses on several occasions because of the appearance of traitors within the party.

 …

“Traffic officer Tong Xueyong of Nanshi Traffic Station rebelled, and he betrayed the nursery.” Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression, “Old Huang, you should find a way to leave the patrol room immediately and report this situation to Comrade Dandelion.”

"Okay, I'll find a way to leave in a minute." Old Huang nodded. He was a drunkard in everyone's eyes. He didn't stay in the medical room. Sometimes he couldn't find anyone. This is a common thing and it won't arouse any suspicion. .

"Be sure to pay attention to safety." Cheng Qianfan frowned and said solemnly, "Just yesterday, one of our comrades was killed by the Special Higher Education Course. This matter is also suspected to be related to Wang Kangnian. In addition, for what reason was Tong Xueyong exposed and then killed by Wang Kangnian? Arrest, these are all mysteries for now.”

 He took a sip of wine and said, "This makes me feel very bad. Be careful with everything."

 “I’ll pay attention.” Old Huang nodded solemnly.

He understood the meaning of "flame". Things were a bit strange and hard to see through. In this case, be careful when sailing.

 …

 In Jiro Sanmoto’s office.

  Mihonjiro's face was gloomy. He was listening to Araki Harima's report.

“Bag duck!” Sanbonjiro pushed a pile of documents on his desk and dropped them to the ground. He gritted his teeth angrily and cursed.

"I have repeatedly told Kentaro Miyazaki not to target Wang Kangnian again. He agreed openly, but secretly he still couldn't let go of his prejudice against Wang Kangnian." Sanbonjiro said angrily.

"Section Chief, I'm afraid it's not Miyazaki-kun who is looking for trouble for Wang Kangnian this time." Araki Harima said thoughtfully, "Could it be that Wang Kangnian is attacking Miyazaki-kun in private? Or maybe the grenade in Miyazaki-kun's briefcase is him. Did you arrange for someone to release it?"

"It's unlikely." Sanbonjiro had a sullen face, and after thinking for a moment he shook his head, "Wang Kangnian's energy is now focused on the red party he captured. His ultimate goal is the red party Chenzhou. This person may hate him deeply in his heart. Cheng Qianfan also wants to take revenge, but he will not abandon public service for private purposes and affect his work."

Araki Harima sneered. He didn't quite agree with the section chief's view. According to the section chief, Wang Kangnian was a selfless and capable person. This was obviously impossible.

How can a person be excellent if he is so greedy for life and afraid of death?

 Araki Harima's heart was extremely contemptuous of Wang Kangnian, who was greedy for life and afraid of death.

 …

"However, we cannot rule out the possibility that Wang Kangnian arranged for someone to blow up Mr. Miyazaki. After all, in Wang Kangnian's mind, he is now backed by the Empire of Japan, and Cheng Qianfan is just the inspector of the French Concession. He will kill him if he wants." Araki Harima continued.

 Sanbonjiro frowned slightly. He had to admit that Araki's statement still made some sense.

"In addition, even if Wang Kangnian did not set the grenade, Miyazaki-kun survived the catastrophe under those circumstances, and then saw Wang Kangnian, who had a grenade against him, at the scene. It was difficult for him not to suspect that the matter was related to Wang Kangnian. "

Seeing Sanbonjiro pondering again, Araki Harima continued, "Maybe Wang Kangnian is innocent. He did not send anyone to assassinate Miyazaki-kun, and because of Miyazaki-kun's behavior, Wang Kangnian was arrested. However, this matter can only be It’s a misunderstanding.”

"Objectively speaking, Miyazaki-kun has no responsibility for this matter. He was assassinated and almost killed. He is the biggest victim." Araki Harima said.

Sanbonjiro was angry before because he thought Kentaro Miyazaki was dishonest and did not obey his orders. He had obviously warned Miyazaki not to touch Wang Kangnian, but Kentaro Miyazaki actually disobeyed him.

 Hence, he was really angry.

 Now, after Araki Harima’s analysis, Sanbonjiro calmed down.

Araki’s analysis still makes sense.

 Mimotojiro changed his place and thought, if he were Miyazaki, in that situation, he would most likely think that the person who wanted to harm him was Wang Kangnian, and then he would inevitably take drastic actions.

In this way, the anger in his heart dissipated a lot.

 …

“Section Chief, Kentaro Miyazaki is here.” Koike knocked on the door and came in, reporting.

"Araki-kun, please go out first." Sanbonjiro said, and then snorted coldly, "Let this reckless guy Miyazaki come in."

“Yes.” Araki Harima and Koike bowed and exited the office.

Araki Harima met Miyazaki Kentaro who was waiting outside the door, and the two exchanged a hidden look.

 “The section principal said you were too reckless.” Araki Harima whispered.

Hearing this, Cheng Qianfan breathed a sigh of relief.

　　Looking at Araki Harima with a grateful expression.

Before coming to the special high school, he first contacted Araki Harima, told Araki Harima the matter "truthfully", and asked Araki Harima to help beat the drum in front of Sanbonjiro and say a few "fair words" for him.

Araki Harima was moved by Cheng Qianfan's sincerity and expressed his willingness to speak up for his friends.

 …

Sanbonjiro had a gloomy face. He listened to Miyazaki Kentaro's report. During the process, he said nothing.

“Give me a reason why you ordered the arrest of Wang Kangnian.” Sanbonjiro said coldly.

"Wang Kangnian must be arrested." Cheng Qianfan said, he carefully observed Sanbonjiro's face, "Section Chief, it is not a personal revenge of my subordinates. Wang Kangnian's people shot and attacked Peter and me, and injured Peter. He is bound to He’s going to be arrested.”

“Instead of waiting for Peter to give the order to arrest people, it’s better for me to speak first.” Cheng Qianfan said.

“You not only arrested people, but also tortured Wang Kangnian.” Sanbonjiro was not fooled by Kentaro Miyazaki’s explanation, and asked with an unkind expression.

Faced with Sanbonjiro’s questioning, Kentaro Miyazaki’s expression changed continuously, including fear, anger, and grievance.

"You encountered a grenade assassination and almost died. You were panic-stricken. At this time, you saw Wang Kangnian and thought of the hatred between this man and you. At that time, what you were thinking about was that Wang Kangnian was the instigator behind the scenes." Sanbonjiro said coldly, " Therefore, you did not think that much at all at that time and directly ordered the arrest and torture of Wang Kangnian."

 Cheng Qianfan's expression was a little embarrassed, and sweat began to form on his forehead.

"You didn't even consider the reason why Wang Kangnian had to be arrested at that time. You were just taking revenge. You thought Wang Kangnian wanted to kill you." Sanbonjiro looked into Cheng Qianfan's eyes and said coldly.

Kentaro Miyazaki looked ugly under the wise eyes of the section chief. In the end, he could only stand at attention, bow, and said dejectedly, "The section chief knows everything, and my subordinates dare not quibble anymore."

 Seeing Kentaro Miyazaki's frightened and dejected look, Sanbonjiro had a smile on his face.

 …

 “Raise your head!” Sanbonjiro said suddenly and sharply.

 “Hai!” Kentaro Miyazaki stood upright and raised his head.

"What I'm angry about is not what you did to Wang Kangnian." Sanbonjiro snorted, "The reason why I'm angry is that a grenade scared you like that. Your hands and feet are trembling, and you can't even stand still. It's really Embarrass me."

 “My subordinate ordered the section chief to be disappointed.” Cheng Qianfan showed an extremely ashamed expression, bowed and lowered his head.

Sanbonjiro snorted coldly and left Miyazaki Kentaro there. After a few minutes, he said, "How did your briefcase get switched?"

 Cheng Qianfan’s answer was different from his answer in the patrol room.

He looked thoughtful and said, "I took the briefcase out of the patrol room, and I checked it before going out."

"Since then, the briefcase has not left my side." He frowned and said, "It is basically certain that the briefcase should not have left my sight. This is also something that my subordinates are very puzzled about."

 “Idiot!” Sanbonjiro scolded, “My briefcase can be dropped by others, what did you learn in the special training class!”

“Reporting to the section chief, my shooting skills have improved a lot, and my fighting skills have also improved a lot.” Cheng Qianfan said immediately, with a slightly proud expression. Then he saw Sanbonjiro’s cold expression and shut up quickly.

 Sanbonjiro rubbed his temples.

  When Kentaro Miyazaki was in the special training class, he spent almost all his energy on improving his personal force. His marksmanship and fighting skills made great progress, which even the instructors were full of praise for.

However, in terms of learning other professional abilities, Miyazaki Kentaro's performance can only be said to be average.

Jiro Sanmoto understands why this is the case. Miyazaki, a guy, has always been discriminated against by other agents of the Special High School. This guy held a breath in his heart and vowed to improve himself and make others look at him with admiration.

 Obviously, in Miyazaki's mind, accurate marksmanship and strong fighting ability are the hallmarks of a powerful agent.

Or it can be said that these two items were Miyazaki's previous shortcomings, so he attaches great importance to improvement.

 …

At this moment, Cheng Qianfan showed a look of thinking and hesitation.

 “What have you thought of?” Sanbonjiro asked.

"The other party is well prepared." Cheng Qianfan thought for a while, his expression becoming more solemn, "The style and appearance of the briefcase that was switched is almost exactly the same as mine, and even some traces of the appearance are similar."

“Besides, the briefcase weighs about the same in the hand.”

As he spoke, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "This person wants to kill me. It can be said that he has been planning for a long time and has been prepared for it long ago."
