Chapter 869 Dangerous!

   "Madam." Tan Pinggong sighed, and said to his wife, "Let's pretend that this incident never happened, and wait for their next move."

   "Master, do you really need to check?" Mrs. Tan frowned and asked, thinking that the other party could enter and leave the Tan Mansion without anyone noticing, and even left letters in the bedroom, Mrs. Tan felt shuddering.

   "No need." Tan Pinggong shook his head resolutely.

   "It's really worrying to think that these people come to the house and leave whenever they want." Mrs. Tan sighed.

   "After finishing this work, let's go back to our hometown in Yuyao for a while." Tan Pinggong said.

   It is precisely because the house seems to be ventilated everywhere, those people come and go whenever they want, so they can't investigate this matter.

   Just pretend that nothing happened, if you really are from the New Fourth Army, and wait for them to come to your door.

"Where's Ming'er?" Tan Pinggong asked. In the past, when he came home, the youngest son would cling to him. Recently, the youngest son fell ill. The doctor said that he was on the go on weekdays. It is best not to see the child immediately after returning home, so as not to be contaminated by the dirt. Therefore, even though Tan Pinggong cared about his youngest son, he could only endure it temporarily.

   "After taking the decoction, I just fell asleep." Mrs. Tan said.

   "I'll go and have a look." Tan Pinggong stood up after speaking, but suddenly his eyes shrank, and he caught a glimpse of something under the pillow.

  Tan Pinggong stepped forward in two steps, picked up the pillow, and saw a letter lying there impressively.

   "Where did this come from?" Mrs. Tan was also shocked.

  Tan Pinggong waved his hand to signal his wife to be safe and calm. He glanced at the envelope, which said 'Mr.

  Tan Pinggong's heart moved, he took out the envelope from the letterhead, opened it, and found a paragraph with only a few hundred words.

   "Master, what are you writing?" Mrs. Tan asked nervously.

   "A letter from the New Fourth Army to me." After reading it, Tan Pinggong heaved a sigh of relief and smiled rarely.

   "New Fourth Army?" Mrs. Tan was surprised, looking at the other letter on the table, "That letter..."

   "That letter is a fake, not written by the Red Party." Tan Pinggong said with a solemn expression.

  If he didn't have this letter in his hand, he would naturally have no way of judging that the previous letter was a fake, but with this letter in his hand, he can naturally come to such a judgment.

   Without him, he knew that the letter in his hand was indeed from the New Fourth Army.

  Because this letter mentioned two details that only he and Pan Ming, an underground member of the Red Party, knew, and the letter was signed by Yang An.

  This signature is an antonym, which in turn is Pan Ming.

  Pan Ming's surname is Yang, and he once joked that his family is descended from the Yang family.

   It is difficult to prove that so-and-so is false, and it is also difficult to prove that it is true. However, when the true and the false are on the same stage, it is easy to tell what is true and what is false.

  In this way, Tan Pinggong knew that the letter was indeed from the Red Party.

  Mrs. Tan did not ask why her master knew that the second letter was true. It was a confidential matter, and one more person who knew it would be more dangerous, even if it was a family member. She understood this truth.

   It's just that she was even more worried.

   "Master, the first letter..." Mrs. Tan looked at her husband worriedly, "Master, be careful."

   "I can save it." Tan Pinggong nodded.

  This letter, which was secretly delivered here under the guise of the New Fourth Army, shows that the Tan family is also being targeted by other parties.

  This is a sign that things are not going well.

  …

  Following the order of "Mr. Xiao Cheng", the ghosts and ghosts of the French Concession started to move.

  Patrols, inspectors, Sanguang Mazi, little bastards, etc., all went out to inquire about a pregnant woman named Tao Yunhong.

   "Cheng Qianfan is also looking for Tao Yunhong?" Li Cuiqun received Hu Sishui's secret report with a surprised expression.

   Soon he guessed that this "Mr. Cheng" should have secretly obtained orders from the Japanese to work for the Japanese.

   "Don't pay attention to him." Li Cuiqun shook his head, "He looks for him, we look for us."

   Li Cuiqun didn't want to have conflicts with this junior who was very skilled in the French Concession. For him, there was a natural basis for cooperation between him and Cheng Qianfan.

The action of "Mr. Xiao Cheng" was so big that many people in Shanghai knew that Cheng Qianfan was looking for the widow of the martyr Zhao Yi. For a while, people with conscience secretly cursed Cheng Qianfan. It seems that Cheng Qianfan's speculation that he secretly took refuge in the Japanese seems to be confirmed.

Although Cheng Qianfan did not report it personally, Jiro Sanben knew about it through Hiroo Kikube's report. Jiro Sanben did not express dissatisfaction with Cheng Qianfan's vigorous investigation of the matter regardless of hiding his identity. On the contrary, Jiro Sanben was quite For comfort.

Obviously, Miyazaki knew that Xiao Mian and the Shanghai Special Affairs Group were the confidantes of the super high school, and they were the thorn in the side of Jiro Sanben. Kentaro Miyazaki obviously knew the opportunity of the gap, so he worked extra hard to share his worries.

   Sanben is very pleased.

  …

  Cheng Qianfan showed surprise.

  This morning, as soon as he arrived at No. 22 Xue Huali Road, he saw Lao Huang walking in the yard with the German black-backed wolfhound.

  He knew that it was Lao Huang who wanted to see him urgently.

  Cheng Qianfan quite likes this big wolfhound.

  Old Huang is a well-known dog lover. Because he is familiar with the habits of dogs, he is now the Queen's dog keeper of "Mr. Xiao Cheng".

   In a sense, this German black-backed wolfhound has become a secret signal for the emergency communication between Comrade Piano and Comrade Huo Miao.

  Cheng Qianfan handed the briefcase to Li Hao, and ordered Haozi to go upstairs first.

  Mr. Xiao Cheng, who was dressed in the uniform of a senior police officer, had a handsome demeanor. He laughed, clapped his hands, and whistled.

  The big wolf dog 'breaks free' from Lao Huang's hand, and runs towards him at an accelerated speed.

  Cheng Qianfan squatted down, hugged the big wolf dog, rubbed the dog's head affectionately, then got up and took the dog leash for a walk, Lao Huang, as a "dog breeder", naturally hurried to follow.

   "What's the matter?" Cheng Qianfan threw Lao Huang a cigarette, and the latter caught it. He lit a cigarette and asked casually.

   "The letter has been delivered." Lao Huang asked Cheng Qianfan for a lighter, looked at the beautifully made gold lighter, praised it, and then lit the cigarette.

   "Is it safe?" Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly and asked.

  Zhang Ping has successfully become friends with Mrs. Tan, and obtained the qualification to enter and leave the Tan Mansion at any time. It is difficult to complete the delivery of letters.

  The most important thing here is how to submit the letter safely, so as not to let suspicious eyes cast on Zhang Ping.

   "According to Plan No. 2, everything goes well." Lao Huang said.

  Hearing this, Cheng Qianfan felt relieved.

  The so-called No. 2 Plan, Zhang Ping has been in and out of the Tan Mansion many times. Although there may be an opportunity to secretly submit a letter from the beginning, she will not act.

  Zhang Ping will send a letter when it is already common for her to go in and out of the Tan Mansion.

  In this way, her suspicions can be minimized.

In addition, this matter has also received the secret support of the Shanghai Red Party. The Shanghai Red Party will arrange comrades from the hidden front to contact the Yuyao Chamber of Commerce to publicize our party’s anti-Japanese policy and win the support of the Yuyao Chamber of Commerce. This can also be done to a certain extent. interfere with the judgment of the enemy.

  One bright and one dark, Zhang Ping is the dark one.

   Regarding this matter, Cheng Qianfan left everything to comrades 'Harmonica' and 'Piano' to plan. He will not get more involved in it, let alone contact the Tan family.

  His target is too big, too conspicuous.

"As soon as possible." Cheng Qianfan told Lao Huang, "The current attention of the Japanese and Ding Li's secret service is to protect Wang Jianhai. The enemy has strict inspections on entering Shanghai, while leaving Shanghai is relatively loose. This is what we will do." Great opportunity to move money and people out."

  Old Huang nodded.

  He took the dog leash from Cheng Qianfan, "One more thing, Comrade Dandelion sent information that Tang Hao has been released by the Japanese."

   "When did it happen?" Cheng Qianfan asked.

  He hadn't had time to contact the Gendarmerie Command. Although the matter was urgent, he couldn't rush it, but he didn't expect Comrade Tang Hao to be out of trouble.

   "In the early hours of this morning, the Japanese sent Tang Hao home." Lao Huang said.

   "How is the person?" Cheng Qianfan asked.

"He has been punished, but it is not severe." Lao Huang said, "According to Boss Tang, the Japanese did not use severe punishment on him, so he sold the owner of the newspaper, Shimizu Yoshizawa. Threatening, asking Boss Tang to serve them secretly."

   Cheng Qianfan blinked when he heard this.

  He was very surprised, he didn't expect things to be like this.

  If Comrade Tang Hao hadn’t lied to the organization, he would have been blessed by misfortune this time. Not only did he get out of the predicament, but he even got the chance to break into the Japanese military police headquarters.

   "I will investigate secretly." Cheng Qianfan said.

  He naturally knew why Lao Huang told him about this matter. On the one hand, it was to inform Tang Hao to get out of trouble, and the other most important reason was to ask him to help verify the authenticity of Tang Hao's report to the organization.

  Lao Huang nodded and said nothing more.

   It seems cruel and cold-blooded to say it. A comrade escaped from the clutches of the enemy. Apart from rejoicing, what is more important is to check the comrade's loyalty to the party.

  However, there is no other way.

  This is the lesson of blood and fire.

  …

  The sun sets.

  Cheng Qianfan walked around the arresting hall on the first floor. All the arresting arresters said that today was safe and sound, and 'Mr. Cheng' was overjoyed, and returned to the office leisurely.

   After a little thought, Cheng Qianfan picked up the phone.

  He called Sakamoto Ryono, and asked Sakamoto Ryono and Kawada Atsuto to have dinner.

  In his capacity, it was inappropriate to go directly to the Japanese Gendarmerie Headquarters to find Atsuto Kawada, but it was appropriate to contact Atsuto Kawada through Ryono Sakamoto of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai.

  Hanging up the phone, Cheng Qianfan was about to change into casual clothes and go out when he heard hurried footsteps and then a knock on the door.

"Come in."

  Big head Lu pushed the door and entered, followed by Lu Jiufan.

   "Inspector." The big head Lu saluted, "The subordinates have something important to report."

  There are about three kinds of names for Cheng Qianfan to be called by the police.

   It is more formal to call him 'Vice President Cheng'.

  The title of 'inspector chief' is mainly for the patrolling officers of the original three patrols.

  'Brother Fan' is the most intimate name. At first, it was only called by Haozai, Hou Pingliang, Haozi and others. Later, many people took pride in being able to call Brother Fan as 'Mr. Cheng'.

  Big head Lu chose to call Cheng Qianfan 'inspector', which was very flattering, not flattering, but also appropriately expressed his loyalty to the 'old officer'.

  About 20 minutes later, Cheng Qianfan, deputy chief inspector of the central police station, stood in the small courtyard downstairs.

  His expression is serious, with a cigarette in his right finger, and he raises his left wrist from time to time to check the time on his watch.

   In front of him were the deputy head of the third patrol, Tou Lu, and the chiefs of the third patrol Zhong Guohao, Lu Jiufan, and a second police chief.

  This is a joint operation of the second patrol and the third patrol, and several people are forming a team.

  Three tarpaulin army trucks were parked in the yard. The vehicles had already started, and the engine made a screeching sound.

  Looking around at his subordinates, Cheng Qianfan took a puff of his cigarette, and exhaled a puff of white air from his nostrils.

   Glancing at the time on his left wrist, Cheng Qianfan threw the cigarette on the ground, stomped on it with his toes, and said lightly, "Let's start."

   All the patrolling officers immediately boarded the car one by one.

  Cheng Qianfan walked towards Datou Lu with deep eyes, "Try to catch him alive."

   "Yes!" The big head Lu Jingli said solemnly.

  Cheng Qianfan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I don't worry if you handle the matter."

   As he spoke, he took another look at Haozai, Lu Jiufan, and the Second Patrol Chief Fu Zhiyi.

  The three of them also saluted and ran towards the army card.

  Following the sound of the car door being slammed shut, and then the roar of the motor, the three army trucks rushed out of the courtyard of the central patrol room like steel beasts.

  Cheng Qianfan pursed his lips, looking at the empty yard, as if thinking about something.

   "Vice President Cheng!"

  A policeman came out of the arresting hall and saluted him.

  Cheng Qianfan nodded lightly.

  He straightened his police cap and walked through the somewhat noisy arrest hall on the first floor.

  The patrolling officers in the arresting hall quickly stood up and watched Vice President Cheng go upstairs.

  Backing to the office, Cheng Qianfan closed the door casually.

  He went straight to the window and looked out the window.

  The huge office is brightly lit, and he looks so lonely in front of the window.

  Datou Lu reported to him just now, saying that Sanguang Mazi under him reported an important situation:

   Discovered a secret stronghold of the Red Party.

   This secret base is at the Guanghua Bookstore on Fuyuan Road!

   Da Tou Lu asked him whether he should be arrested immediately.

  Cheng Qianfan immediately expressed a serious expression, and declared that he would be arrested immediately.

   Not only that, for the sake of safety, Deputy Chief Inspector Cheng also ordered the second patrol to also send people to participate in the arrest operation of the third patrol.

  Cheng Qianfan silently calculated in his mind that the distance from No. 22 Xue Huali Road to Guanghua Bookstore on Fuyuan Road was about ten li.

   It was off-duty time, and the French Concession was crowded with people. Even if the military card was opened faster, it would take at least half an hour.

  In fact, traffic jams have gradually become the 'normal' in the French Concession during this special period of time.

  Cheng Qianfan only hoped that the army card would be stuck in traffic for a longer time today.

  The owner of Guanghua Bookstore is—

   Comrade 'Dandelion'.

  PS1: During the period of the Republic of China, the speed of the car was not fast. According to the records, in 1933, Yu Dafu went to Zhejiang for a trip, borrowed a car from a friend, and drove from Hangzhou to Fuyang. The journey was 42 kilometers, and it took two hours on the road, with an average speed of 21 kilometers per hour. This is considered fast. In the urban area of ​​Shanghai, the speed is slower due to the large number of pedestrians and vehicles.

  PS2: Ask for a subscription, ask for a reward, ask for a monthly pass, thank you.

   In the last hour of the month, do you still have a monthly pass? Thank you!
