Chapter 766 The breath of the same kind

   "What do you think of the analysis of 'crucian carp'?" Sanben Jiro asked Araki Harima, holding a baton in his right hand and staring at the map.

  'Crucian carp' is a senior latent spy of the super high class. This person has lived in China for ten years. No one would have thought that this Chinese person would be a secret agent of the super high class.

  The "crucian carp" that has penetrated into the Maoshan base of the New Fourth Army sent important information—

  He suspects that Shanghai is secretly planning to transport a large number of anti-Japanese elements with a high level of education to Maoshan:

   "Chairman, I think the analysis and inference of'crucian carp' are reasonable." Araki Harima thought for a while and said, "This kind of unintentional words will be quite accurate."

   When chatting with his superiors, 'Crucian carp' mentioned that there is a shortage of manpower and heavy work. In the past, under such circumstances, the superiors would probably encourage everyone to overcome difficulties and carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of hardships or tiredness to work.

However, this time is different. The boss of 'Craucian Carp' is in a good mood. He said that he has repeatedly applied to the superiors, and this time he finally got the approval. Everyone will work hard for less than half a month, and new comrades will come in soon. .

   It was such a sentence that aroused the interest and vigilance of the 'crucian carp'. He deeply analyzed the intelligence behind this sentence:

  Firstly, the unit where the 'crucian carp' works is not the most important and critical unit. Generally speaking, even if new comrades come to the base area, they will give priority to supplementing other units.

  However, its direct leader said that this time there will be new comrades joining their unit. What does this mean?

  It shows that this batch of new comrades who came to the Maoshan base of the New Fourth Army is quite large. After meeting the personnel needs of other important units and departments, they can even consider meeting the personnel needs of the department where the'crucian carp' is located as appropriate.

  Secondly, there is only one possible source for sending a large number of intellectuals to support the bases of the New Fourth Army, and that is Shanghai.

  Thirdly, the leader said that everyone should overcome it for another half a month, which means that this group of personnel will arrive at the Maoshan base within half a month.

   Therefore, after repeated analysis of 'Crucian Carp', he came to his own judgment:

  It is very likely that the Red Party Association in Shanghai and recently sent a group of cultural intellectuals and anti-Japanese activists to the New Fourth Army "entrenched" in Zhenjiang.

  Jiro Sanben was still staring at the map, and he used his baton to make gestures between Shanghai and Zhenjiang Maoshan and Wawushan.

   "Araki, how long do you think it will take them to reach Zhenjiang from Shanghai without considering how to pass through our checkpoint blockade and leave Shanghai?" Sanben Jiro asked.

   "It will take at least three days." Araki Harima said, "Even if they can leave Shanghai smoothly, from Shanghai to Maoshan, there are imperial occupation areas along the way, and the locust army has absolute control over important roads and waterways."

  He clicked on several locations on the map, "If you want to bypass these checkpoints, it means that they need to walk nearly twice as far."

   “And if you don’t bypass these checkpoints, there are so many of them, it’s almost impossible to pass through the checkpoints without arousing suspicion.” Araki Harima said.

  As the New Fourth Army entrenched in Maoshan and Wawushan continued to 'adjust salaries' the locust army, the locust army also strengthened the blockade against the New Fourth Army. It would be extremely difficult for anyone or anything to enter the territory of the New Fourth Army.

   "Three days." Sanben Jiro pondered for a moment, "The information of the 'crucian carp' shows that these people may arrive within half a month, so..."

  He showed a serious expression, paced and said, "This means that this group of people is now ready to leave Shanghai."

   "Or, they are now trying to find a way to leave Shanghai." Sanben Jiro stopped in his tracks, his eyes showing excitement.

  He turned his head to look at Harima Araki, his eyes were dark and excited, "Araki, find these mice, catch them, and destroy them!"

   "Hai!" Araki Harima saluted.

  …

  After eating supper at Lao Huang's place, Cheng Qianfan wiped his mouth and returned to his office comfortably with a toothpick in his mouth.

  It was no easy task to transport a group of people to leave Shanghai when the Japanese army strictly sealed off the exit channel, and because of the importance of this matter, he dared not easily try a more dangerous method.

  Therefore, even Cheng Qianfan has some headaches now. Although time is tight, this matter cannot be rushed and needs to be discussed slowly.

In addition, Cheng Qianfan has some guesses about the task that Imamura Heutaro gave today, but these guesses need to go through his contacts with Britain, France and the United States, especially the process of 'reporting' with the high-level officials of the French Concession and contacting both parties. Step by step to confirm.

   Just as Xiao Cheng was about to leave the night shift and return to his new home in La Fei Fang, there was a knock on the office door.

   "Come in." Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice.

   It was Da Tou Lu who pushed the door and entered.

   "Inspector." The big head Lu closed the door casually, stepped forward a few steps, and whispered something beside Cheng Qianfan.

   "Is the information reliable?" Cheng Qianfan narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.

   "Reliable, I've confirmed again and again, the third eyelid says it's that woman." As he spoke, the big head Lu looked excited, "Inspector, arrest someone, according to the investigation of his subordinates, it seems that there are still a group of people who are also staring at that woman."

   "Who is it?" Cheng Qianfan asked coldly.

   "Looks like Wang Kangnian, but I'm not sure yet." Datou Lu said.

   "Notify and arrest people." Mr. Cheng raised a smile at the corner of his mouth. He adjusted his armed belt and picked up the holster hanging on the wall.

   "Inspector, are you going too?" Datou Lu asked in surprise.

   "The mouse has been hiding for so long, I want to see what's extraordinary about her." Cheng Qianfan said with a sneer.

  Big head Lu didn't ask any more questions. Cheng Qianfan was extremely hostile to the Red Party, and big head Lu was naturally aware of this.

  …

  The mournful whistle was blown, breaking the tranquility of the compound of the central police station.

   All the three patrols in the patrol room gather and line up.

  Everyone was shivering in the cold wind, waiting for the military card of the armored squad.

  Cheng Qianfan stomped his feet, clapped his hands, and cursed.

  Xiao Cheng naturally doesn't have to wait in the cold wind on a cold night.

  He ordered the big head Lu to guard, while he went directly to the door of the infirmary and knocked on the door.

   "Old Huang, it's me."

  Lao Huang opened the door with his coat on.

   "Where is Mrs. Tang?" Cheng Qianfan bent down, poked his head in, and shouted.

   "It's late at night, I have to boil the water again." Lao Huang muttered, and yawned again, but he would not refuse Mr. Cheng after all, "Wait, I'll boil the water."

  Xiao Cheng always seemed worried about his subordinates, so he withdrew from the room and glanced at his subordinates shivering in the cold wind.

  He yelled at Hou Pingliang, "Monkey, go to my office and bring down a case of wine. Everyone has two sips to drive away the cold. The weather is terrible."

  Hou Pingliang agreed, called two police officers, and ran upstairs to the deputy chief inspector's office.

  Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette, took two puffs, shivering from the cold, then turned around and walked into Lao Huang's medical room.

   "Mrs. Tang, okay." Lao Huang handed Mrs. Tang, which had been filled with hot water, to Cheng Qianfan, "Be careful of scalding."

   "Shu Tan." Cheng Qianfan took Mrs. Tang with both hands, picked it up with his right hand, and touched it with his left hand. He quickly moved his hand away when it was so hot, but nodded in satisfaction.

  Hou Pingliang brought down two boxes of wine, one bottle for every four people, drinking to warm up.

   "Let's go." President Xiao Cheng glanced at the men with live ammunition, nodded in satisfaction, and got on the co-pilot seat of the second military card.

  The engines of the two military trucks roared and rushed out of the compound of the central patrol room.

  Here, Lao Huang closed the door, turned over his palm, and there was a note in his palm.

  He leaned against the door, read the contents of the note clearly, and then threw the note into the stove. After seeing the note turned into ashes, he poked it with the cleaning stick.

  …

  The target of the patrol house's operation this time is Zhang Ping.

  Cheng Qianfan remembered Zhang Ping, this woman came to him through Tang Xiaoye to clear up the relationship, and finally released a suspected anti-Japanese element named Bai Feiyu.

  Cheng Qianfan had suspected that Zhang Ping might be an anti-Japanese element, or even the Red Party.

  However, what Da Tou Lu reported to him just now still surprised him.

  Zhang Ping's possible real identity was beyond his expectations.

  An idle man nicknamed "Three Eyelids" recognized Zhang Ping as a member of the Red Party, and even pointed out that this woman was a member of the Red Party in the 21st year of the Republic of China.

   In the twenty-first year of the Republic of China, that was seven years ago.

   It is the bloodiest and craziest time of white terror.

  Cheng Qianfan's first reaction was that Zhang Ping was a member of our party who had lost contact with the organization.

   This possibility is very large.

  Before Guohong cooperated for the second time, Shanghai had always been one of the most **** and severe areas where the KMT reactionaries repeatedly hunted down and suppressed revolutionaries.

In the words of Ma Qiwu, the head of the Shanghai District of the Party Affairs Investigation Office of the National Party Central Committee, the Red Party in Shanghai is like a leek. A batch, leeks will not have time to grow!

  …

  Cheng Qianfan took the initiative to lead the team to arrest Zhang Ping, not because he wanted to release water during the arrest process to create opportunities for Zhang Ping to escape.

   That kind of thinking is stupid.

  His subordinates, from Datou Lu to Lu Jiufan, to Hou Pingliang, and even an ordinary policeman, are all human beings.

  Any unreasonable details cannot escape the eyes of these people.

  Cheng Qianfan would not take the risk of possible exposure to rescue an unidentified arrestee. In other words, even if he was sure that Zhang Ping was a comrade of our party, he could only choose to be cold-blooded and would not take risks.

  Cheng Qianfan wanted to personally lead the team to arrest, one of the reasons was that he learned from the big head Lu that Wang Kangnian's people might be watching Zhang Ping.

  He wanted to make sure that Zhang Ping was arrested by the patrol room, not by the detective team of the Shanghai Puppet Government Police Department.

If Zhang Ping falls into the hands of the police, Zhang Ping may be severely tortured. However, with Cheng Qianfan's secret help, or organized help, he can hire a lawyer to defend him, and he can appeal to the newspapers. Basically, Zhang Ping's life can be saved. There is even hope of getting bail.

  In addition, he led the team himself, and he also considered that he might be able to find some clues that others hadn't discovered in time during the arrest process. He considered helping to cover up and destroy the evidence while ensuring his own safety.

   Besides, Cheng Qianfan couldn't rule out another possibility, that is:

   Zhang Ping may not be a comrade who has lost contact with the organization, but a comrade who has been organizing. It is just that the organization has not communicated with him about this matter out of confidentiality.

  If this is the case, Zhang Ping's arrest will be a very difficult emergency. Cheng Qianfan must control the entire arrest and interrogation process, and send a warning signal to the organization as soon as possible.

  …

   Tang Pozi was placed on the towel-covered lap, Cheng Qianfan's right hand was also wrapped in a towel, and then placed on top of Tang Pozi.

  Two army trucks stopped at the entrance of the alley.

  Subsequently, the police officers got out of the car and surrounded Zhang Ping's residence.

  Cheng Qianfan threw Mrs. Tang on the seat, untied the white towel in his hand, glanced at the pavilion surrounded by crowds, and waved his hands indifferently.

  All the patrolmen directly broke through the door and rushed in.

  President Xiao Cheng held his Browning gun in his hand, and walked behind unhurriedly under the guard of Hou Pingliang, Lu Jiufan and others.

   "Brother Fan, slow down, watch out for guns." Hou Pingliang said worriedly.

   "Have a gun?" Cheng Qianfan glanced at the little monkey, "Is that a firestick in your hand?"

  That’s what he said, but Hou Pingliang saw that Brother Fan had obviously slowed down his pace, and was intentionally or unintentionally behind Lu Jiu by turning over a position, so he finally felt relieved:

   Great, Brother Fan is still so afraid of death!

  …

  When Cheng Qianfan came to the house, he saw Zhang Ping who was being held down tightly by the police.

  Women are struggling hard, and there are patrols to see that women are beautiful, and take advantage of the opportunity.

  Cheng Qianfan went up like a big ear.

   "Respect, respect! Do you know!" Mr. Xiao Cheng reprimanded his subordinates, "We should treat women with respect! Do you know?"

Then, Mr. Xiao Cheng looked at the arrested woman, and first took a careful look, with a gleam in his eyes, as if he was surprised by the beauty of this woman. Then, Mr. Cheng shook his head and sighed, "Ms. Zhang, Qing This beauty, how can I be a thief!"

   "Sir, why are you arresting me?" Zhang Ping looked terrified, "Why are you arresting me? Let me go, let me go, I'm ashamed to face anyone, I'm dead... woo woo woo."

  Looking at this woman who seemed to be terrified, Cheng Qianfan nodded secretly in his heart.

  What he was most afraid of just now was that Zhang Ping's expression was calm, and he would even ask him why he arrested her, and what did she do?

  A woman’s family was suddenly arrested by the police and broke into the door with a gun, and she fell to the ground directly, and was even taken advantage of by the police. This is simply a great horror that a law-abiding woman can think of and face.

  Under such circumstances, if she could remain calm and even question the famous Mr. Cheng, who would believe that this woman would be a law-abiding and good family woman?

  Zhang Ping's reaction is the most correct reaction of a law-abiding woman, fear, panic, and at the same time, the reaction of a woman from a good family who is seeking death after being raped.

  Cheng Qianfan was amazed in his heart, and at the same time had an intuition that if Zhang Ping was really a comrade of our party, he must be an extremely extraordinary agent.

   Comrade 'Huo Miao' smelled the same kind of breath.
