Chapter 609 Two Calls

 “Take it, go!” Brother Su put the banknotes into Xiaoyao’s hand.

Xiao Ao clenched the banknotes tightly and looked at Brother Su. He didn't speak, but bowed deeply.

Brother Su didn't like him kowtowing, so he could only bow. This was the way he secretly watched the children in the school salute their teachers.

Just a few minutes later, Xiaoyao came back, carrying a cloth bag full of meat buns in his hand.

 He returned the banknotes to Brother Su.

 “Where did you get the meat buns?” Brother Su asked.

"A big brother over there gave it to me. He said he was a friend of Brother Su." Xiao Ao looked at him and said, "Brother Su, can you eat it?"

"Eat!" Brother Su glanced at the other side of the alley and forced the banknotes to the little jacket. "I'll go over and take a look."

The sound of children cheering came from behind. Brother Su turned around and saw the light in the eyes of the hungry children. Seeing the way they were so happy and swallowing hard, his nose felt sour.

 …

Li Hao looked at the person walking over with a scrutinizing gaze. If Brother Fan hadn't said it himself or heard it with his own ears, he wouldn't have believed that the person Brother Fan wanted him to meet secretly was Su Zhe.

“Assistant Su, have you eaten?” Haozi stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth, wiped his mouth randomly, and then handed over the other steamed bun in his hand.

Su Zhe looked calm, took the meat buns handed over by Li Hao, took a bite, and asked, "Brother Fan asked you to come?"

Li Hao looked at Su Zhe. Because this person had always been against Brother Fan, Li Hao had always had a bad impression and attitude towards Su Zhe. At this moment, when he heard the name 'Brother Fan' from Su Zhe's mouth, he His expression is strange.

"What? Not used to it?" Su Zhe smiled and said, "I'm not used to it either."

Su Zhe ate the meat buns in a few bites. He clapped his hands and said, "Tell me, why did Brother Fan ask you to come to me?"

“Brother Fan asked, was there anything unusual about Da Toulu yesterday?” Li Hao asked.

“Brother Fan suspects that the gunman was robbed because Superintendent Lu was the one who stole it?” Su Zhe touched his chin and asked.

 Li Hao did not respond to him.

Su Zhe smiled and shook his head, "I am too talkative."

 …

"There is no way of knowing whether Lu Hu was unusual yesterday." Su Zhe said, "However, a businessman who often interacts with Lu Hu secretly entered the police hospital yesterday."

“Have this person had contact with Da Toulu in the hospital?” Li Hao asked.

"I don't know." Su Zhe smiled bitterly, "'Mr. Xiao Cheng' has too much power in the patrol room. No one dares to go against him. I managed to develop three or two kittens, and they don't dare to offend Fan publicly." Brother, naturally I don’t dare to stare at Lu Hu all the time.”

Li Hao nodded. Although Su Zhe's people did not see Lu Hu meet the businessman, one thing was a coincidence, and it was impossible for two things to be coincidences. As an agent, he did not believe that so many coincidences would happen in one place at the same time. On people.

 “What is the identity of that businessman?” Li Hao asked.

“Brother Fan knows, twenty-six,” Su Zhe said.

 “Twenty-six, what does it mean?” Li Hao didn’t understand.

 “Brother Fan knows.”

"I'm leaving first." Li Hao nodded and said. Although he now knew that Su Zhe was not actually Brother Fan's 'enemy', but had a very close relationship with Brother Fan, he still had a close relationship with Su Zhe because of the previous incident. Can't get close.

 In other words, I don’t know why, but he just doesn’t like Su Zhe.

 “Goodbye.” Su Zhe nodded and said.

After taking two steps, Li Hao stepped back and said, "Assistant Su, can you tell me who those people are who are secretly trying to deal with Brother Fan?"

"Do you think I will tell you?" Su Zhe's smile disappeared and he looked at Li Hao coldly.

Li Hao also gave Su Zhe a cold look, turned around and left.

Sure enough, there is a reason why I hate this guy Su Zhe.

 …

When Li Hao returned to the hospital ward, Bai Ruolan was scolding Cheng Qianfan.

"You are injured now. You said you are not allowed to smoke, but you still smoke secretly?" Bai Ruolan said with a straight face.

“Sister Ruolan is so scary.” Xiaobao sat beside the hospital bed and whispered to Cheng Qianfan.

"Xiaobao, how can you be scary? This is called iceberg beauty." Cheng Qianfan corrected.

 “Oh oh oh.” Xiaobao nodded sharply.

Bai Ruolan, who originally had a straight face and a fierce look, was teased by the two siblings and laughed. She gave Cheng Qianfan a look and snorted again.

“Brother Fan, sister-in-law, Xiaobao.” Li Hao came in and put the things he was carrying on the bedside table. “I went out to buy breakfast. I’ll eat it while it’s hot.”

 “Wow, glutinous rice cakes, and sugar cakes.” Xiaobao cheered.

“Little greedy cat, let your sister Ruolan take you to wash your hands.” Cheng Qianfan scratched the bridge of Xiaobao’s nose.

 “Let’s go, wash your hands.”

 …

 After the two people left, Li Hao quickly took the time to report the situation to Cheng Qianfan.

“Twenty-six?” Cheng Qianfan’s mind pictured a short man in his thirties who always had a cheerful face.

 This man is one of the Japanese businessmen who secretly has close contact with Datulu.

Although there is no direct evidence that this person sneaked into the hospital to contact and meet Datulu, by combining various signs, Cheng Qianfan was basically certain that Datulu secretly colluded with the Japanese.

 And the captured gunman must have been kidnapped by the Japanese, or to be precise, someone arranged by the Special Higher Education Department.

 He immediately realized the great danger involved.

Calculating time, it has been several hours since the Special High School kidnapped the Shanghai Station agent, and the Japanese must have started interrogating him.

This person has injuries on his body. If he is subjected to inhuman torture, it will be difficult for him to survive. There is a high probability that he will confess sooner or later.

Even if this person's bones are softer, it is very likely that he has confessed by now. Maybe the Japanese have already begun to deploy troops to round up relevant personnel of the Shanghai Station.

 The worst case scenario is that something has already happened at Shanghai Station.

 The situation is extremely urgent.

"Haozi, go find Zhou Ru and send a report to Wuhan in the name of 'Mr. Xiao'." Cheng Qianfan lowered his voice and whispered, "Do you remember?"

"remember."

 “Retell it again.”

Li Hao repeated it in a low voice. Cheng Qianfan listened and confirmed that every word was correct before nodding with satisfaction.

 “Go ahead and be smart on the road.”

“Well, don’t worry, Brother Fan.” Li Hao nodded and said.

Looking at Li Hao's leaving figure, Cheng Qianfan was filled with worry, hoping that it was not too late.

 …

 Wuhan.

 This is a Western-style bungalow with three floors, with flowers in bloom and green grass in the garden.

 “Miss An, please stay.” Zhu Huaiyuan said politely.

Even though he has become the head of the Wuhan Special Station of the Party Affairs Investigation Department, he is still polite to this young girl.

This is an old subordinate of Chu Jiaxian, Secretary-General of the Central Party Committee. Secretary-General Chu even personally served as An Wan's introducer to the Kuomintang Party. This honor is not something ordinary people can have.

 “Stationmaster Zhu is so polite.” An Wan said with a smile.

 On the road opposite the bungalow, a car stopped.

 In the back seat, Qi Wu looked at the direction of the bungalow with a scrutinizing gaze.

“Director Qi, the businessman has been recruited, can we take action?” one of his subordinates asked.

Qi Wu shook his head slightly. To tempt a senior member of the Party Affairs Investigation Department like Zhu Huaiyuan, it was useless to rely solely on the confession of a businessman. The most important thing was to obtain actual evidence.

“Don’t be impatient.” Qi Wu’s eyes were deep, “Start at Zhu Huaiyuan. What Virgo wants is ironclad evidence.”

 Not only must the evidence be solid, but it must also be sufficient!

Zhu Huaiyuan is suspected of reselling military supplies. However, this kind of thing has become normal in the national government. It is not enough to rely on reselling and smuggling to bring down the head of the Wuhan Special Station of the Party Affairs Investigation Department, unless Zhu Huaiyuan smuggled a huge amount. .

"Understood."

"Let's go, don't stare today. Zhu Huaiyuan came to visit Chu Jiaxian. He must have important official business. He won't make any noise today." Qi Wu said.

 The car started and drove away slowly.

 …

Having just returned to the temporary headquarters of the Secret Service, before Qi Wu had time to take a sip of herbal tea, Mao Shun hurried to find him.

“Director, urgent call from Shanghai.”

Qi Wu received the telegram and saw that it was Xiao Mian from the Shanghai Special Situation Team. He looked solemn and waved his hand.

Mao Shun exited the office and closed the door respectfully with both hands.

Qiwu quickly translated the message, his expression became solemn, he folded the message, put it in his pocket, patted it gently, and then walked out of the room quickly.

 “Absurd! Extremely absurd!” Dai Chunfeng slammed the message on the table.

 “He, Zheng Lijun’s men, were arrested, and he didn’t even know it!”

“Now people have even been quietly robbed by the Japanese. Zheng Lijun still doesn’t know, and he still needs Xiao Mian to warn him!” Dai Chunfeng was furious, “Stupid!”

“Virgo, the people at Shanghai Station may be trying to rescue the arrested comrades, but the situation is complicated and they haven’t had time to take action yet.” Qi Wu stood up and said a few good words for Zheng Lijun.

“How can the Japanese act quickly?” Dai Chunfeng asked.

 Qi Wu said nothing. He softened his words for Zheng Lijun. This was a sign of affection, but he would not argue with Dai Chunfeng for Zheng Lijun.

 …

"Zheng Lijun is not good. He is not capable of taking charge of his own affairs." Dai Chunfeng looked at Qi Wu with a gloomy expression, "Who do you think is more suitable to take the helm in Shanghai?"

“Virgo, you have your own thoughts on who is most suitable for Shanghai Station.” Qi Wu said immediately, with a slightly anxious expression, “The most urgent task now is to warn Shanghai Station.”

"Shanghai Station!!" Dai Chunfeng snorted again when he heard this, "The dignified special grade A station has been rescued twice by the special situation team in less than half a year."

“Cheng Qianfan’s role is becoming more and more important, which also shows that you have a keen eye for talents, Virgo.” Qi Wu said with a smile.

A smile appeared on Dai Chunfeng's lips. He pointed to the message on the table, "Why didn't Cheng Qianfan report what happened yesterday in this call?"

"It's probably too late." Qi Wu thought for a while and said, "Cheng Qianfan was accidentally injured by the Shanghai Station and was hospitalized. He should have just woken up now. In all likelihood, he just learned that the people at the Shanghai Station were kidnapped by the Japanese. The situation is extremely It's urgent, he needs to arrange for someone to pass the information from the hospital and then send the report. This is a warning that he is racing against time."

As he said that, he looked at Dai Chunfeng, "Virgo, a friend in need is a friend indeed. In critical moments, Cheng Qianfan's only concern is the safety of his brothers and units. He is dedicated to the public and unites sincerely. This is what you have taught me, Virgo." So square."

Dai Chunfeng smiled and pointed at Qi Wu, "Although that boy did a good job and did not disappoint me, but you, you, you praised this boy like a flower."

“Virgo, everything I say below is true, and there are absolutely no lies or exaggerations.” Qi Wu said seriously.

“Next time Cheng Qianfan comes, you must remember to ask him to treat you.” Dai Chunfeng said with a smile.

"It must be so." Qi Wu also smiled, "Although it is not an exaggeration, Qi Wu's good words are not given in vain."

 “Hahaha!” Dai Chunfeng laughed.

He quite recognized that Qi Wu always supported Cheng Qianfan, a junior from his hometown, which showed that Qi Wu was a man of great affection. The most important thing was that Qi Wu was very honest. He admired Cheng Qianfan and did not shy away from praising him. Speak frankly.

 …

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of Dai Chunfeng’s office.

 “Virgo, it’s me.” Mao Shun said outside.

"Come in." Qi Wu first looked at Dai Chunfeng, then saw Dai Chunfeng nodded slightly, and then he said.

Mao Shun came in, took out a telegram from the folder, and handed it over respectfully with both hands, "Victor, Director, urgent telegram."

Qi Wu took the telegram with both hands. Without even looking at it, he directly handed the telegram to Dai Chunfeng with both hands.

 The telegram was sent from Shanghai Station and had been translated by Mao Shun.

Dai Chunfeng took the message and looked at Mao Shun.

Mao Shun wisely exited and closed the office door.

 “Idiot! So stupid!” Dai Chunfeng’s hands holding the telegram were trembling slightly with anger.

Qi Wu was a little surprised and curious. He couldn't imagine what Shanghai Station had done wrong to make Virgo so furious.

"One day the Japanese broke into the house and they were all still sleeping." Dai Chunfeng said coldly, "Zheng Lijun is so disappointing to me."

 Qi Wu took the telegram from Dai Chunfeng's hand and read it.

He immediately understood why Virgo was so angry.

Zheng Lijun reported in the call that they sent people to the police hospital to rescue the arrested team member Yan Chang. Only when they arrived did they learn that Yan Chang had been rescued.

Therefore, the Shanghai Station asked the headquarters to help contact the Shanghai Special Situation Team and asked Xiao Mian whether his department had taken action to rescue Yan Chang, a member of the Shanghai Station Operation Brigade.

Moreover, the message also vaguely accused Xiao Mian of lacking sincere unity and lack of communication between the two units.

"The misunderstanding about this matter almost caused our department to take risks without knowing it, and the current situation is complicated. I think Xiao Mian's department should strengthen cooperation with the Shanghai Station. In extraordinary times, it is best to have unified management. …”

What made Qi Wu shake his head the most was the last sentence in Zheng Lijun's call. This sentence seemed to be about strengthening the connection between the Shanghai Station and the Shanghai Special Situation Team to avoid being incommunicado and delaying the crisis. The situation arises again.

  However, the implicit meaning of this sentence is that Zheng Lijun is asking the headquarters for jurisdiction over the Shanghai Special Situation Group.

Qi Wu had even imagined Zheng Lijun's wishful thinking at this time. Now he wanted jurisdiction, and later he would directly request that the Shanghai Special Situation Team be merged into the Shanghai Station.

Logically speaking, Zheng Lijun’s request seems excessive, but in fact it is not too excessive.

Shanghai Station is a special first-class station. It is probably dissatisfied with the fact that there is a Shanghai Special Situation Team in Shanghai that is independent of Shanghai Station. It has long been intended to annex it.

Although he may get scolded by everyone if he expresses this kind of appeal, Dai Chunfeng will not really be angry.

However, the problem is, there was a call from 'Xiao Mian' over there, warning the headquarters that the people at Shanghai Station had been kidnapped by the Japanese, but here, Zheng Lijun said that his people were rescued by the Shanghai Special Intelligence Team -

This is not the case. Zheng Lijun even told Xiao Mian, saying that after Xiao Mian saved people, he did not know that he would be here. The harmed Shanghai Station was quite nervous and rescued the operation.
