Chapter 801 The Kite in the Dark Night

 Cheng Qianfan stood next to the car downstairs, and his men in raincoats stood aside holding umbrellas for him.

First I saw the lights on the second floor turn on, and then Hu Meiyuan's pretty face looked over from the window.

The handsome and handsome 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' waved his hand and ignored whether Hu Meiyuan saw it. He took off the cigarette in his mouth and threw it in a faint arc. He turned around and got into the car with the help of his subordinates.

 “Go to the hospital.”

"yes!"

 …

 Watching the two cars disappear in the wind and rain, Hu Meiyuan closed the window and drew the curtains.

"Why didn't you invite Mr. Cheng to come up and sit down?" A pleasant voice sounded behind Hu Meiyuan.

 “The time is not right.” Hu Meiyuan said without looking back, shaking her head slightly.

 Cheng Qianfan's mistress, the woman named Ying Huaizhen, is very capable.

 Xiao Cheng always hugged her. Uncharacteristically, this woman did not act or make trouble. Instead, she acted very calmly and offered to take her home first.

However, when getting out of the car, Ying Huaizhen took out an amulet from Xiaokun's bag and said that she prayed for the safety of Mrs. Cheng and the little boy in Mrs. Cheng's belly, and had asked the eminent monk of Lingyin Temple to consecrate it.

Hu Meiyuan glanced at the woman getting out of the car and immediately adjusted her plan.

Ying Huaizhen used Yang Mou.

"Don't be fooled by this man's appearance. Although Mr. Cheng is a flirtatious man, he is actually far more cunning than you think." The pleasant voice said.

"I heard that Cheng Qianfan also showed a certain interest in you at the beginning." Hu Meiyuan looked at the other party with a half-smile, "If you hadn't gone to Hong Kong, Miss Tian might have stripped off her **** and sent it to Cheng Qianfan. on the bed.”

"Then you should address me as second sister now." Qiu Xing's face darkened and she said coldly. She glanced at Hu Meiyuan and said, "Weren't you also arranged to get close to Cheng Qianfan?"

"My understanding of Cheng Qianfan is far deeper than what you know." Hu Meiyuan smiled, "You don't have to listen and test me anymore."

Qiu Xing frowned. She received an order from 'Miss Tian', asking her to find out the purpose of Hu Meiyuan coming to Shanghai from Manchuria. Now that she noticed that Hu Meiyuan deliberately approached Cheng Qianfan, it was inevitable that there would be more guesses and suspicions.

“Let’s make some arrangements, I want to see Miss Tian.” Hu Meiyuan chuckled lightly, held a long and thin lady’s cigarette between her index and middle fingers, took a puff and said.

“Sorry, Miss Tian is not in Shanghai recently.” Qiu Xing shook her head and said.

"Your eyes tell me that you are lying." Hu Meiyuan blew out the smoke ring gently, "Two days, I want to see Miss Tian within two days, otherwise, I will call General Dofei Yuan to report something truthfully."

Qiu Xing's expression changed, and she took a deep look at Hu Meiyuan, "I will convey your request, but there is one thing I want to remind you."

"Please say."

“‘Miss Tian’ doesn’t like people threatening her the most.” Qiu Xing’s expression was cold and her tone was even colder.

 …

 “My wife just fell asleep.” Li Zi whispered.

 “What did the doctor say?” Cheng Qianfan asked.

"The doctor just came to check half an hour ago and said (my wife and child) are fine." Lizi said, "The nurse will also come to check the ward on time."

 “Where’s Mother Lu?”

“Mother Lu went back to make soup and said she can drink it when she wakes up.”

 “Go.” Cheng Qianfan nodded and sent the little maid away.

It was rare for Bai Ruolan to fall asleep, so it was not easy for him to disturb her. Besides, she had just come back from the assassination scene and she smelled of blood. It was better not to get too close to the pregnant woman.

 Hands in his trouser pockets, a cigarette between his teeth and unlit, Cheng Qianfan was walking in the corridor outside the delivery room as if he was bored.

 The assassination of Chen Zhuan at the Shanghai Station was unexpected but not surprising to Cheng Qianfan.

 It is not surprising because Chen Zhuan was the "Foreign Minister" of the Nanjing Puppet Reform Government and one of the top traitors within the Nanjing Reform Government. Naturally, he had long been on the military commander's assassination list.

 The surprise was that this matter was carried out by the Shanghai Station alone, and Dai Chunfeng did not ask him to secretly provide support and help. In fact, he and Chen Zhuan had recently become good friends and could secretly provide some help.

Of course, Cheng Qianfan can probably guess that Dai Bureau's consideration is to try to avoid contact between the Shanghai Special Situation Group and Shanghai Station. At the same time, this is what Cheng Qianfan has always hoped for.

 From a professional perspective, Cheng Qianfan reviewed the entire process of Chen Zhuan's assassination in his mind.

 Chen Zhuan's residence had nearly twenty bodyguards. However, during the entire assassination process, until Chen Zhuan was shot and killed by Lu Xingge, the bodyguards of Chen's residence were seriously derelict in their duties and did not play any early warning or defensive role.

 The first day of the Lunar New Year!

Cheng Qianfan thought about it for a while and admired the people at Shanghai Station who formulated this action plan.

Shanghai Station chose to carry out the attack on the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, when the guests of Chen Zhuan's residence were gathered. It seemed that there were too many people to hide and it was not suitable for assassination. In fact, because of this special day, the bodyguards of Chen's residence were careless and the entire security force was seriously deserted. .

 …

 “Haozi.” Cheng Qianfan suddenly said.

 “Brother Fan, I’m here.”

“Arrange more manpower in the hospital, especially near the wards.” Cheng Qianfan ordered.

 “Yes!” Li Hao nodded with a serious expression.

 Chen Zhuan was actually assassinated under "tight security" conditions. The most direct reaction of "Mr. Xiao Cheng" was:

  To strengthen the protection of his wife Bai Ruolan.

 After being severely warned by Sanbonjiro, Zhang Xiaolin temporarily stopped taking actions against him.

However, Cheng Qianfan did not dare to be careless at all. If Zhang Xiaolin, an old dog, suddenly jumped up and took a bite, he might really suffer a big loss without noticing.

In addition, there is Wang Kangnian. Wang Kangnian has been very quiet after receiving Araki Harima's warning, but this quietness makes Cheng Qianfan even more alert.

In addition to the two enemies Zhang Xiaolin and Wang Kangnian, there are also so many anti-Japanese groups and patriots, big and small, well-known or unknown. Although Mr. Xiao Cheng has not publicly "treason and surrendered to Japan", almost no one will doubt it. "Cheng Qianfan will definitely be a traitor in the future", it is difficult to say whether there will be passionate anti-Japanese elements who will take action against him and his family.

"One more thing." Cheng Qianfan frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about it, "Check up Hu Meiyuan."

“Brother Fan, do you suspect there is something wrong with this woman?”

"Let's check first." Cheng Qianfan said. His intuition told him that Hu Meiyuan approached him deliberately. At the banquet in Chen's Mansion, it looked like he was a hunter, and Hu Meiyuan was the prey he was targeting. In fact, he was the hunter. The extremely charming and beautiful Hu Meiyuan 'inevitably' attracted the attention of the 'money-greedy and lustful' Mr. Cheng.

It would be unreasonable if the famous Cheng Qianfan didn't take the initiative to get in touch with such a great beauty Hu Meiyuan.

Yes, it is understandable that a woman would take the initiative to climb onto the high branches of his little Mr. Cheng and climb onto the big bed of the Cheng family. However, Hu Meiyuan gave him a somewhat different feeling.

 This is an indescribable feeling.

Or, this feeling can be described as: Cheng Qianfan feels like he is prey.

 To be precise, the word ‘intuition’ is better used to describe it.

"Be careful." Cheng Qianfan thought for a moment and added, "We will only check what we can for the time being."

 “I know.” Haozi nodded, he understood what Brother Fan meant.

 …

 The next day.

After dancing all night in the ballroom, Lu Xingge smiled bitterly and said that he had to rush home to deal with the interrogation of the tigress at home. He declined further invitations from his female dance partner and left the ballroom with a tired look on his face.

 “Outside the number, outside the number!”

“The ‘Iron-Blooded Army’ broke through the door and Foreign Minister Chen went to **** at night!”

The news that Chen Zhuan, the ‘Foreign Minister’ of the Nanjing Reform Government, returned to Shanghai for the New Year and was assassinated at home was obviously a gimmick that today’s newsboys were shouting and selling.

Hearing that the traitor Chen Zhuan was assassinated, Shanghai citizens burst into great enthusiasm to buy.

The little newsboys were obviously well prepared. After the newspapers on hand were sold out, they rushed to pick up the goods. After a while, another pile of brand-new newspapers that smelled of ink was waved in their hands again.

Lu Xinge bought a piece of flatbread and a duck egg, rolled them up and ate them.

 Then I also bought a newspaper and ate it with great pleasure, using the narrative of the death of Foreign Minister Chen vividly described by the editors and editors in the newspaper.

From time to time, he echoed the opinions of the citizens around him.

No one would have thought that this man wearing a peaked cap and chewing big cakes would be the anti-Japanese hero who committed this shocking crime last night!

 …

“Were you at the scene when Chen Zhuan was killed?” Taking the tea handed over by Miyazaki Kentaro, Imamura took a sip and asked casually.

“Teacher asked me to get closer to this person before, and we have gotten closer during this period.” Cheng Qianfan nodded and said, “I just went to the Chen Mansion yesterday to pay New Year’s greetings. I never thought that I would encounter such a thing.”

“What do you think of Chen Zhuan’s assassination?” Imamura Hyōtaro asked.

"Nine times out of ten, Chongqing did it." Cheng Qianfan said without thinking, "To be more precise, it is more likely that the military commander will take action."

"The impact of this incident is very bad." Imamura Hyoutarou said solemnly, "Many Chinese people who are committed to the empire will be shaken and they will be afraid."

“This is exactly the purpose of frequent assassinations in Chongqing.” Cheng Qianfan nodded.

“Do you know how Iwai-dono evaluates them?” Imamura Hyoutarou took a sip of tea and said.

 Cheng Qianfan immediately made a gesture of listening respectfully.

 “Hooliganism that cannot be put on the stage.” Imamura Hyoutarou said with a sneer.

"Your Majesty Iwai's words hit the nail on the head." Cheng Qianfan nodded and said with a serious expression, "Such assassinations are trivial, and they just show that Chongqing is losing ground on the frontal battlefield. They cannot confront the empire in an open and honest manner, so You can only use these evil tricks."

"Chen Zhuan was assassinated, and the case must be solved as soon as possible to calm people's hearts." Hyōtaro Imamura said solemnly, "It is not good that such an appalling political assassination occurred during the Spring Festival."

 “Hai.” Cheng Qianfan put his legs together and said respectfully.

He knew that this was not what Hyōtaro Imamura told him. It was estimated that this would be a request from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to relevant functional departments, such as the Special Higher Education Department and the Military Police Brigade.

Of course, this is also the request of the Nanjing Reform Government to relevant departments, but the latter’s words really have little strength and influence.

“Kentaro, take a look at this information.” Hyōtaro Imamura took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and handed it to Kentaro Miyazaki.

 “Hai.” Cheng Qianfan took the document with both hands.

 …

“The comrades of Teko were extremely shocked to notice that the Japanese troops stationed in Shenyang conducted frequent exercises. They not only buried signs and planted sun flags everywhere, but also used real guns and live ammunition.”

“In addition, the Japanese army will also transport a large amount of military supplies and two cannons to Shenyang.”

“In August, Teko further discovered some anomalies at the Nanman Railway Station and other places.”

“The large warehouse at the station was already very large, but now it has expanded a lot.”

“It was originally surrounded by barbed wire, but now it is surrounded by wooden boards to prevent outsiders from looking.”

“In addition, many temporary military tents were erected around the warehouse, and many bunkers were dug.”

“Teko’s comrades looked in secretly from a high place and found that there were many Japanese young people receiving military training inside... It seemed that the Japanese were about to take action.”

“The situation is urgent. The comrades of Teko immediately reported the situation to the superior party organization, and the superior specifically requested us to continue to detect the enemy’s situation.”

“Especially in Dalian, where the Japanese have the most intensive activities, the organization sent comrades to penetrate into the enemy’s interior to try to obtain further trends and secrets about the Japanese army’s possible invasion of China.”

“Following up, information was sent out one after another, and the information was simply horrifying.”

“In order to remind the Northeast authorities, the Special Branch, with the approval of the headquarters, sent a report to the then Chairman Zang of the Liaoning Provincial Government in early September of the 20th year of the Republic of China, asking him to be alert to the possibility of the Japanese attacking Shenyang.”

“But we are disappointed that our intelligence was not taken seriously.”

“Later we learned that the Japanese army used the two cannons discovered by our comrades to bombard the North Camp of the Northeastern Army.”

 Cheng Qianfan closed the document, looking thoughtful and puzzled.

 “Teacher, what is this?” He looked at Hyoutarou Imamura.

“An underground organization of the Red Party was uncovered in Manchuria, and this is a confidential document that was seized.” Hyōtaro Imamura said, “This should be a record of work reported by a Red Party member of the Manchuria Special Branch to their organization. "

"Manchuria Special Branch, Red Party." Cheng Qianfan thought, "This kind of reporting material is very confidential. It seems that a more important Red Party organization has been cracked in Manchuria."

“What did you see from those documents just now?” Imamura Hyōtaro asked.

"Judging from the documents, before the 'Wicker Lake Incident', the so-called Manchuria Special Branch of the Red Party was concerned and vigilant about some of the empire's actions. They even issued a warning to the Northeastern Army. Fortunately, the Northeastern Army Ignore them." Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully.

 “What else?” Imamura Hyoutarou nodded slightly and continued to ask.

"And..." Cheng Qianfan smiled, "Teacher is testing me."

 He looked like he was thinking seriously and hard. After about half a minute, his eyes lit up and he said, "Teacher, the student has thought of it."

As he spoke, he opened the document again, found a few sentences and pointed them out to Imamura Hyoutarou, "Teacher, please look at these sentences, these sentences contain extremely important information."
