Chapter 874 Three brothers enter Shanghai on a rainy night (please vote)

 Cheng Qianfan reported to Sanbonjiro the failure of the patrol room’s operation to arrest the red party members of Guanghua Bookstore on Feiton Road.

Sanbonjiro looked at Kentaro Miyazaki seriously for a while before speaking, "Lu Hu suspects that Zhong Guohao is the leaker, what do you think?"

 “Impossible.” Cheng Qianfan said firmly.

Sanbonjiro looked at Kentaro Miyazaki hesitantly:

 Miyazaki is a guy who is despicable and distrustful of Chinese people.

“My subordinates arranged for Zhong Guohao to go to the armored convoy to ask for a car. At the same time, he secretly arranged for Hou Pingliang to follow, but no abnormal behavior was found in Zhong Guohao.” Cheng Qianfan said with a proud look on his face.

Facing Sanbonjiro's questioning gaze, he continued, "The woman Hou Pingliang liked died in an assassination attempt by Chongqing. He was extremely loyal to the empire."

Sanbonjiro nodded. He remembered this incident. It was the incident where Ruan Zhiyuan was assassinated by the Secret Service. The woman Hou Pingliang liked was the maid next to Ruan Zhiyuan's woman Lou Lianxiang.

 At the same time, Sanbonjiro suddenly felt enlightened.

So that's it, he was just wondering why Miyazaki Kentaro trusted Zhong Guohao so much. It turned out that this guy was secretly prepared.

"The Feiton Road incident is enough to prove that there is a red party underground party inside the patrol room." Sanbonjiro said solemnly, "Miyazaki, find these shady rats."

 “Hai.” Cheng Qianfan saluted respectfully and left.

 He did not leave the Special High School, but went directly to Araki Harima's office.

 …

"Araki-kun, did Lu Hu sneak into you?" Cheng Qianfan looked unhappy and asked Pi Tou.

Araki Harima looked at his gloomy friend, first surprised and stunned, and then he understood how White White Zaki Kentaro learned about this.

The section chief must have asked Miyazaki about Lu Hu's suspicion of Zhong Guohao. With Miyazaki's intelligence, he naturally guessed that Lu Hu reported the matter to him privately.

Miyazaki-kun knew that Lu Hu was secretly working for the empire, or even though he was a little dissatisfied, he still had to acquiesce.

“Miyazaki-kun, try my new wine.” Araki Harima said with a smile.

Cheng Qianfan snorted, but did not refuse. He sat down directly and started to drink without anyone noticing.

 Seeing Kentaro Miyazaki behave like this, Araki Harima was also relieved.

 He knew that Miyazaki-kun might be really angry, but the anger was probably not directed at him.

as expected.

"Lu Hu reported to me that he suspected Fu Zhiyi, and I will report to you that he suspected Zhong Guohao." Cheng Qianfan took a sip of sake, savored it carefully, his eyes lit up, and he praised, "It's Kyoto's Sasaki sake."

Araki Harima said with a smile, "Miyazaki-kun is indeed a good drinker, and he drank it in just one sip."

"Wine, sex, and money, all three are indispensable to live a hearty life." Cheng Qianfan looked slightly proud, then his face changed, and he pointed at Araki Harima and laughed and scolded, "Araki-kun almost changed the subject."

As he spoke, his expression was gloomy, "There is an old saying in China that Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was aimed at Pei Gong - Lu Hu didn't know that I was an imperial agent. On the surface, he suspected Zhong Guohao, but in fact he came for Cheng Qianfan."

Araki Harima secretly admired that people who know how to do business are said to have bright minds, and Miyazaki-kun is like that.

“Lu Hu said he believed Cheng Qianfan was fine,” Araki Harima said.

 “Despicable and cunning Chinese people.” Cheng Qianfan sneered and cursed.

If Datou Lu really believed that Cheng Qianfan was fine and loyal to him, or that he had no other ulterior motives, he should have reported the matter to him secretly and expressed his suspicions about Hao Zai instead of secretly asking Harima Araki Report and expose.

 “Is there a problem with Fu Zhiyi?” Araki Harima asked.

Lu Hu reported to Miyazaki-kun that he was suspicious of Fu Zhiyi. Miyazaki-kun would definitely arrange for someone to investigate given his prudence.

"There is nothing suspicious about Fu Zhiyi for the time being." Cheng Qianfan said casually, "However, the Chinese people are cunning and good at disguising. I will arrange for people to continue to pay attention to Fu Zhiyi."

Araki Harima nodded, and then asked, "Zhong Guohao, is there any problem?"

 Miyazaki-kun can come to him angrily and confidently to "ask for justice", which obviously shows that he has clearly reported to the section chief that there is no problem with Zhong Guohao.

“For the Chinese people, my principle is that you can use it, but you must be careful.” Cheng Qianfan smiled proudly, “Zhong Guohao is being watched, there is no problem.”

“Miyazaki-kun does everything right.” Araki Harima praised.

“My qualifications are mediocre, far behind Araki-kun, so I can only be more cautious.” Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.

Araki Harima laughed loudly, raised his glass and clinked it with Kentaro Miyazaki.

 No wonder the section chief admires Miyazaki-kun so much. His good friend's ability to flatter him is really great, but it's just such a shallow pat, which is really comfortable.

 …

 That afternoon.

 Feiton Road.

 Two cars stopped at the entrance of the alley next to Guanghua Bookstore.

 Several bodyguards got out of the car at the front and guarded the cars behind.

Patrolman Lin Xiangying of the second patrol trotted over and opened the car door, "Vice President Cheng."

“How is the situation?” ‘Mr. Xiao Cheng’ wore sunglasses on his nose. He tilted his head and one of his men handed him a cigarette. He tilted his head again and another man flipped a lighter and lit the cigarette.

 “Nothing unusual.” Lin Xiangying said.

Lin Xiangying, as the name suggests, is from Hunan Province.

 “Let’s go and have a look.” Cheng Qianfan said calmly.

"yes."

The door of Guanghua Bookstore was open, and there was a boy sweeping the floor with a broom at the door.

 “Put the seal on.” Cheng Qianfan said with a calm face.

 “Mr. Cheng, don’t you need to guard me anymore?” Lin Xiangying asked in a low voice.

 “Just wait for it.” Cheng Qianfan yelled, “The reason for waiting for the rabbit is because the rabbit is stupid enough, and the red party is not stupid.”

As he spoke, he pointed at the man sweeping the floor at the door of the bookstore and cursed, "Who asked you to show up and sweep the floor like this?"

“Reporting to Vice-President Cheng, it was ordered by Vice-Inspector Fu.” The man quickly saluted.

 “Idiot.” ‘Mr. Xiao Cheng’ scolded.

"It's like a secret site of the Red Party. Everyone from the boss to the clerk is carefully selected. Arranging such a new face to sweep the floor at the door doesn't mean to tell them that something happened here?" Cheng Qianfan Seeing Lin Xiangying still confused, she held back her anger and taught.

 “Congratulations, Mr. Cheng.” Lin Xiangying immediately showed a look of great reverence, “I can’t figure this out even if I try hard.”

Cheng Qianfan stared at Lin Xiangying for a while, then laughed and cursed, "Flattery!"

"My words come from the bottom of my heart." Lin Xiangying followed up in two steps and said in a low voice, "My admiration for Mr. Cheng is like the overflowing water of the Huangpu River..."

“Did Fu Zhiyi say why he arranged for someone to clean outside?” Cheng Qianfan interrupted Lin Xiangying’s flattery and asked.

"I didn't say, I just obeyed the orders of Deputy Inspector Fu." Lin Xiangying said sternly, "My subordinates only knew to obey the orders of the chief."

Cheng Qianfan took another deep look at Lin Xiangying. This guy is a talent.

 He nodded slightly.

Took another two steps and suddenly stopped, "Where is Fu Zhiyi?"

“Deputy Inspector Fu came to inspect in the morning. Someone came to see Deputy Inspector Fu and said that his family had a cold. Before Deputy Inspector Fu left, he ordered his subordinates to take charge of the scene.”

As he spoke, he added, "Pippi is the son of Deputy Inspector Fu."

“After Fu Zhiyi arrives, tell him to go to my office tomorrow and I want to hear his report on the progress of the investigation.” Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice.

"yes."

 Cheng Qianfan opened the cotton curtain of the bookstore and entered.

 Looking through the books in the bookcase with interest.

 We came to the back room again.

 This is the residence of Comrade Wang Jun.

Because they wanted to trap and kill the red party members who got into trouble on their own, the bookstore in the front was still in order, but the back room had been turned into a mess.

 Looking at the mess all over the ground.

 The iron pot was also smashed, and the dishes were broken all over the floor.

 Cheng Qianfan frowned slightly.

Things have changed and people have changed, and he felt a little melancholy in his heart.

 “What did you find?” Cheng Qianfan asked.

“The owner of Guanghua Bookstore is Ji Xiaoliang.” Lin Xiangying took the business note of Guanghua Bookstore and showed it to Vice President Cheng.

 Cheng Qianfan took the business note and looked through it.

This business note is in vertical format.

 The front is the main text.

 Far right of the main text: Business note of the patrol house in the French Concession, Xingzhi No. 0515.

 Content: According to the case, businessman Ji Xiaoliang, 31 years old, from Wuhu, Anhui Province, applied to open a Guanghua bookstore for business. After investigation, there were no discrepancies, and the joint venture issued a license.

 Business name information: owner’s name, opening address, capital amount, business level, opening date, etc.

 At the back is the personal seal of Clark Laosheng, the police officer's ID card.

 Below the business name information is a one-inch black and white photo of the applicant.

 The date of issuance is on the far left, stamped with the official seal of His Excellency Mr. Ferguson, Chief of Police of the Patrol Room.

 The reverse side of the business note is the precautions.

Note: This pass cannot be lent or transferred to others; this pass must be hung in a suitable place or on a wall that is easily visible for inspection; this pass must not be damaged or obliterated, and violators will be punished according to law; the owner of this pass is not allowed to impersonate or Violators who add or alter handwriting without permission will be punished according to law.

Cheng Qianfan weighed the business note in his hand and frowned in thought.

“Go and check if there is Ji Xiaoliang.” He ordered.

"clear."

Logically speaking, those who apply for a business note need to have proof of household registration in the French Concession, which means they need to meet the requirements for the length of residence in the French Concession. However, there are policies and countermeasures.

Even if you are a non-resident, you can apply for a business note first and then apply for a new household registration certificate.

 All you need is enough money.

If this Ji Xiaoliang has already had a household registration certificate, it means that this person has lived in the French Concession for many years. As long as he lives here, his neighbors will eventually know about him, and there are traces of it.

 If there is no household registration certificate, or a household registration certificate is issued later, it means that the person has been in Shanghai not long ago.

“Check the relevant photos to see if this person applied for a household registration certificate under another name two years ago.” Cheng Qianfan ordered Lin Xiangying again.

 He 'remembered' what Da Toulu reported that Luo Zizi said he had met the owner of Guanghua Bookstore more than two years ago.

"yes!"

 …

 Yuchun River.

 The soup pool is filled with mist.

“It’s a rainy day and I’m not feeling strong, come and loosen the bones.” Lu Dazhang lay down on the wooden couch and shouted to the master of loosening the bones.

"Okay." Master Songgu took a few puffs of cigarette. He took a look at the cigarette butt, which seemed to be a bit long. He was reluctant to throw it away, so he carefully pressed it out and put the cigarette **** into an iron box.

 After disassembling these cigarette butts, the tobacco inside can be taken out and rolled into cigarettes for smoking.

"You're new here? You're good at craftsmanship." Lu Dazhang called out comfortably and asked.

“I just came to Shanghai from northern Jiangsu to beg for food. I rely on the nobles to appreciate my food.” Master Songgu said with a flattering smile.

"I'm not a noble person." Lu Dazhang laughed loudly. He moved his head and wanted to observe the surrounding environment, but because he had gained weight recently and was suffering from loose bones, he couldn't turn around.

 “There is no one else,” Master Songgu said.

“Hey, the craftsmanship is really good.” Lu Dazhang whispered, “Better than Comrade Dandelion’s craftsmanship.”

“I taught Lao Wang his craftsmanship,” Fang Jinghua said with a smile.

 “Has Comrade Wang Jun left Shanghai?” Lu Dazhang asked.

 “The small steamer got on at noon.” Fang Jinghua said, “It’s his fault. It would have been someone else who was in such a hurry and couldn’t leave.”

Comrade Wang Jun’s main task is to serve as the special traffic officer between the French Concession Special Party Group and the Shanghai Red Party. He does not have many other tasks on hand, so he can evacuate at any time without too many worries.

 This was also the advice Comrade Peng and Ou gave to their successors after they left:

The traffic officer responsible for contacting Comrade Huo Miao had better have limited separation from the Shanghai Red Party. This is for safety reasons. After all, the less contact with various parties, the safer it is. Another consideration is that if something goes wrong, he can escape in time. If so, it is easy to escape, and even if you cannot escape in time, you can control the impact within a smaller range.

“The incident happened suddenly and the situation is extremely urgent. For safety reasons, Comrade Dandelion must evacuate.” Lu Dazhang said.

Comrade "Huo Miao" directly "ordered" Comrade Wang Jun to evacuate. In fact, Comrade Wang Jun's party membership, seniority, and rank were higher than those of Cheng Qianfan, and Comrade Wang Jun's organizational relationship was with the Shanghai Red Party.

If the evacuation was to be ordered, it was Fang Jinghua himself who gave the order. Strictly speaking, Cheng Qianfan's move was considered as a proxy. Lu Dazhang was justifying Cheng Qianfan's explanation.

Fang Jinghua nodded, "I understand."

He pressed his spine skillfully and said, "Although Comrade Huo Miao is young, he is a proven old comrade. He handled this matter very decisively and in a timely manner. I support his decision."

 Hearing what Fang Jinghua said, Lu Dazhang breathed a sigh of relief.

"We have already established an online relationship with the Tan Mansion here." Lu Dazhang said, "The next step is to meet directly with Tan Pinggong to agree on matters related to the delivery of the donation and the evacuation of Shanghai."

“Very good, thank you to the comrades of the special party branch for their preliminary work.” Fang Jinghua nodded happily, “It’s not appropriate for you to meet with them, leave the follow-up work to us.”

 This was agreed upon by both parties. The special party branch in the French Concession used their special relationship to establish contact with Tan Pinggong's government, and then the Shanghai Red Party quickly took over.

It is not impossible for the Shanghai Red Party to establish contact with Tan Mansion, but it just requires longer preparation and time.

 And the longer it is delayed, the more likely it is that changes will occur.

This "arrangement method" now highlights three words, one is "quick", and the other two words are "confidential".

 …

 It was almost at about the same time.

Comrade Xiong Jiashang of the Shanghai Red Party Working Committee welcomed the comrades who came up from the team in his secret residence.

“Comrade Yu Chang, welcome.” Xiong Jiashang shook hands with the other party happily.

She couldn't help but look at Comrade Yu Chang a few more times. She felt that this comrade seemed familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

“Minister Xiong, this is Comrade Chen Kewen.” ‘Yu Chang’ pointed to the man next to him and introduced him.

 “Hello, Comrade Chen Kewen.” Xiong Jiashang’s expression was strange, but he soon returned to normal.

She recognized Comrade Chen Kewen as Fang Muheng, the eldest son of the Fang family from Guohua Food Factory. The Fang family’s wife was a target of the anti-Japanese united front. She had seen a group photo at the Fang family, which included Fang Muheng, the eldest son of the Fang family.

“Minister Xiong, this is Deputy Company Commander Huang Zhongyuan of the Advanced Detachment of the Jiangnan Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army of the New Fourth Army.” Comrade ‘Yu Chang’ pointed to another person next to him.

“Hello, Minister Xiong, Huang Zhongyuan is reporting to you.” Huang Zhongyuan saluted Xiong Jiashan with a standard military salute.

Xiong Jiashan opened her mouth and glanced at Deputy Company Commander Huang, who used the pseudonym Huang Zhongyuan. She finally held back her smile and shook hands with him, "Thank you, Deputy Company Commander Huang."

She knew more about this person. He Guan, the nephew of Jin Kemu, the chief inspector of the Central Police Station, was nicknamed "Master Guan".
