Chapter 923 Emergency call to Chongqing

 Okubo Naito walked out of Lafayette Road and got into a car parked on the side of the road.

 The man in the driver's seat looked over.

"There is nothing abnormal." Okubo Naito said, "Cheng Qianfan has not gone out since he returned home. The lights in the study have just been turned off. He should be ready to rest."

With that said, Okubo Naito shook his head, "Haishi-kun, I don't understand the use of the section chief ordering us to monitor Cheng Qianfan like this. If Cheng Qianfan wants to tip off, just make a phone call."

“Just obey the section chief’s orders.” Haishi Haruki said with a yawn.

 The partner does not know Cheng Qianfan’s true identity.

Within the Special High School, or to put it further, in the eyes of the vast majority of Special High School agents, Cheng Qianfan is a Chinese who secretly defected to the empire. Even because he is highly admired by the section chief Sanbonjiro, he has "Miyazaki" Kazuo' is a Japanese name.

Of course, a Japanese name is not enough for Cheng Qianfan to win everyone's recognition and trust. However, this famous "Mr. Xiao Cheng" in the French Concession uses money to clear the way, but he is very popular within the super high school. With the help of "Jiujiu" Due to the magic power of commercial securities, Cheng Qianfan was recognized as half one of his own.

Hashiki Haruki is a close confidant of Araki Harima. He is also one of the few people in the Special High School who knows the true identity of Cheng Qianfan and knows that he is impersonated by the imperial agent Kentaro Miyazaki.

 At the same time, Haishi Haruki also learned from Captain Araki Harima, or guessed the reason why the section chief arranged for them to follow and monitor Kentaro Miyazaki:

  It does not mean that the section chief really suspects that Kentaro Miyazaki has a problem, it is just a routine surveillance.

All of this is the aftermath of the shameful traitor Seto Uchigawa's betrayal of the empire.

The Setouchi River incident had a far-reaching impact. To this day, Shanghai Special High School is still ridiculed and ridiculed by other secret service agencies because of the Setouchi River treason incident.

 …

Although Cheng Qianfan also judged that Sanbonjiro's surveillance of him this time was just a routine behavior under psychological influence, he still treated it with the highest vigilance.

He didn’t know to what extent this routine monitoring would go, and whether Cheng’s phone calls would be monitored, although this operation would be difficult:

The Japanese want to extend their tentacles into the French Concession Telegraph Office and secretly monitor the Deputy Chief Inspector of the Central Patrol Room. It is not only extremely difficult, but also extremely risky.

However, Cheng Qianfan still did not dare to be careless.

Of course, speaking personally, Cheng Qianfan will try to avoid using phone calls unless it is a matter of Shanghai Special Forces or an organizational emergency.

 There was a radio station hidden in the secret room of the study, but Cheng Qianfan did not use it.

He would not risk sending a telegram under such special surveillance conditions.

 Because the directivity is too obvious.

 Have nothing to do all night.

 At dawn, the car parked outside Lafayette Road moved and left quietly.

 Cheng Qianfan finished his breakfast and made Xiaozhima cry. Amid Xiaobao's complaints, he got into his car.

“Brother Fan, there was a car parked nearby last night.” Li Hao reported, “The license plate is 9103.”

“9103?” Cheng Qianfan frowned and thought.

During the pre-Qing Dynasty, the first car appeared in the French Concession in Shanghai.

At that time, even the foreigners in the French Concession saw cars for the first time. This was a new thing. The directors of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce held a meeting for a few days and decided to temporarily incorporate cars into the license plates of horse-drawn carriages, and charge according to the standards of horse-drawn carriages.

Officials from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce did not expect that Shanghai’s car market would be almost as hot as that of major European cities, with the number of cars growing to hundreds in just a few years.

So in the second year of Xuantong in the former Qing Dynasty, the Shanghai Concession announced that car license plates would be independently numbered. There were two types of fees, one was the license fee, and the other was the quarterly donation fee. It was stipulated that the quarterly donation fee for self-prepared cars was 5 taels of silver, and the quarterly donation for cars on business trips was 15 taels.

At the same time, in order to cater to car owners’ interest in special numbers and increase municipal revenue, some special numbers are also specially set aside to be sold at high prices.

For example, Zhou Chunqing, a real estate developer from Ningbo in Shanghai, won the No. 1 license first, the No. 2 license was won by the British Jew Sassoon, and the No. 3 license was obtained by the British Ma Lishi.

 In recent years, car number plates have become even more popular.

Some special numbers require twenty or thirty taels of gold to obtain. Among them, No. 3333 was obtained by Essen, a barrister from the French Concession, No. 4444 was obtained by the fourth son of the Sheng family, and No. 5555 was obtained by Yu Qiaqing's son-in-law, barrister Jiang. Du Yongsheng’s license plate is No. 7777.

This 9103 license plate is not a special license plate, and Cheng Qianfan didn't think about which company it belonged to.

 …

“It’s the license plate of Xiaoniao Automobile Dealership,” Li Hao said.

“It has to be you.” Cheng Qianfan said with a smile. Haozi struggled to read, but he was extremely sensitive to numbers, especially license plates. Haozi almost opened his mouth.

 “Brother Fan, do you want to check?” Li Hao asked.

Xiaoniao Automobile Dealership is a car dealership in the French Concession. It is apparently owned by a wealthy businessman from Ningbo. Of course, this is information that ordinary people can know. Li Hao knows that the big boss of Xiaoniao Automobile Dealership is actually Detective Cheng Haitao from the Concession Patrol Room. long.

Through Cheng Haitao's relationship, Xiaoniao Automobile Company obtained a batch of license plates and secretly rented these license plates to some shady friends, or obtained the cars through shady means, but did not dare to follow the formal procedures to get the license plates. people use.

 “No need.” Cheng Qianfan shook his head.

Not only because he could probably guess that the other person was from the Extra-High School, but also because he didn’t want to alarm the other person.

Although Kentaro Miyazaki can show the abilities of a qualified Japanese agent at certain moments, Cheng Qianfan still does not want his quick reactions and vigilance to be reflected in such details.

 This will cause Sanbonjiro to pay more attention and even become more suspicious.

 “Cheng Haitao.” Cheng Qianfan thought about the name in his mind.

 This man is getting closer and closer to the Japanese.

 …

 Li Hao honked the horn.

 The courtyard gate gate pole is pulled up.

 The car entered the courtyard of the Central Patrol Room at No. 22 Xue Huali Road.

 “Go to see Zhou Ru and send a report immediately.” Cheng Qianfan said in a low voice.

 “Understood.” Li Hao nodded.

 Speaking, he opened the passenger door, walked around and helped Brother Fan open the door.

“Tell Zhou Ru that I want to eat shepherd’s purse and shredded pork soup for lunch.” Cheng Qianfan took the briefcase from Haozi’s hand and said.

"yes."

"Well, there's more." Cheng Qianfan took two steps and turned back and said, "Your sister-in-law was talking about eating small yellow croaker two days ago. You asked Zhou Ru to cook a small yellow croaker with pickled vegetables and I will take it back."

“I know, Brother Fan.” Li Hao said with a smile, “Then I will go home for dinner at night.”

 “When have you ever had less than your pair of chopsticks?” Cheng Qianfan laughed and scolded.

 While all the patrolmen stopped and saluted respectfully, Deputy Chief Inspector Cheng either nodded slightly or returned the salute, and then strode into the office building.

Li Hao got into the car and turned the car around.

“Brother Hao, are you going out as soon as you arrive?” the patrolman at the sentry station greeted.

“It’s rare that Brother Fan has a good appetite, I have to get busy.” Li Hao lowered the window and threw out half a pack of cigarettes.

“Vice-President Cheng has a good appetite, which is a good thing for the whole patrol room.” said the sentry patrol officer, quickly caught the cigarette case in his hand, and raised the railing diligently.

Haozi laughed loudly, honked the horn, turned the steering wheel and drove towards Father Jin Road.

 …

 Arrived at Zhou Ru’s residence on Father Jin Road.

 Li Hao knocked on the door.

The two chatted in a serious manner for a while, and Li Hao informed the "little cook" and "Mr. Xiao Cheng" about their food requirements.

About seven or eight minutes later, after confirming that no one was following or monitoring him, Li Hao took off the pen, unscrewed the pen cap, found a toothpick and pulled out a piece of paper.

“The team leader has ordered us to report to Chongqing immediately.” Li Hao said with a serious expression.

 Zhou Ru took the note and read it carefully.

 This is information written in secret language.

  To be precise, it was written in a password that only she and the team leader knew.

At first glance, this should be regarded as a talk about cooking experience, including some taste requirements for cooking, but in fact it is confidential information under a code.

This special code list was decided upon by Cheng Qianfan and Zhou Ru after repeated deliberation and discussion. There is no code book and it was recorded in the minds of the two of them.

Zhou Ru nodded and told Li Hao to stay outside. She immediately went inside to send the report.

 …

 Jisfir Road.

Luo Yannian, dressed as a small boss, walked to the door of the grocery store with Shan Fangyun's attentive welcome, his hands behind his back.

"Ouch." Luo Yannian glanced at the fine for dumping garbage posted on the door, "This, this..."

"Don't worry, Boss Zhang. I'll pay the fine. I'll pay it. I will never leave such a bad tail to bother you." Shan Fangyun said quickly.

An agent from No. 76 passed by the door. Hearing these words, he couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and looked at Shan Fangyun.

Shan Fangyun glanced at 'Boss Zhang' who entered the door with his hands behind his back, then looked at this 'familiar' agent, and quickly cupped his hands, looking at him with pleading eyes.

The agent made a gesture:

 Ten oceans.

Shan Fangyun's face changed drastically. Under the threatening gaze of the other party, he could only nod helplessly and made a mouthful of "I will thank you again after everything is done."

The agent got the promise and left in a happy mood, humming a song:

 I am very lucky today, I picked up money.

Unexpectedly, Shan Fangyun, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes and seems to be honest, is also a subtle ghost.

Shan Fangyun's grocery store was not run poorly because of poor management, but because the secret service headquarters did not allow outsiders to occupy this location and open a store.

Shan Fangyun obviously deceived an uninformed gangster into taking over the grocery store, but he happened to meet him. Isn't this just picking up money?

Seeing Shan Fangyun enter the house, he quickly closed the door. The agent smiled. Boss Shan was obviously very scared after being blackmailed by him.

He just likes the way the common people hate, fear and are anxious about him, but they can't do anything about him and can only endure it or even force a smile.

 …

“Minister Luo, if you come here, I will lose money again.” Shan Fangyun smiled bitterly and told what happened at the door just now.

"You have to figure out how to spend the money on your own, I don't have any money." Luo Yannian said quickly.

　　"Dedede." Shan Fangyun said, "When have I ever seen money from you?"

“It’s good to know.” Luo Yannian said proudly.

Shan Fangyun smiled, feeling nothing but admiration for Luo Yannian.

He lived in poverty and only had three meals a day to satisfy his hunger. The money he saved was used to support the children of martyrs who were fostered in nursing homes and in the homes of some common people who sympathized with the revolution.

"This man extorted ten yuan." Luo Yannian said thoughtfully, "Does this mean that if we arrange for comrades to take over the grocery store, it can continue to open?"

As he said that, Luo Yannian himself shook his head first, "Yes, we chose to open a grocery store here because this location is very critical. Obviously the enemy is also aware of this and cannot allow this place to be operated by outsiders."

Shan Fangyun nodded, "For those who can't continue to operate, even if a comrade really takes over, they will be blackmailed into poverty and the door will be closed directly."

"Is there anything going on?" Luo Yannian asked Shan Fangyun.

"Yes." Shan Fangyun said, "The entire secret service headquarters was busy last night, with vehicles coming in and out. This morning, I heard people talking outside, saying that a lot of people were arrested."

"Do you know who you were arrested for?" Luo Yannian asked immediately.

“I don’t know yet.” Shan Fangyun said, looking worried, “Could it be our comrade?”

"It's unlikely." Luo Yannian shook his head, "According to what you said, there is such a big arrest movement and so many people are arrested. If they are targeting our party, can we still sit here peacefully?"

Shan Fangyun thought for a while and nodded suddenly.

Such a big movement last night, if it was directed at the Red Party, it is estimated that the entire Shanghai Red Party has already suffered a disaster.

 …

"I will report this situation to the organization." Luo Yannian nodded and said with a serious expression, "Be sure to pay attention to safety."

 “Don’t worry.” Shan Fangyun said with a smile.

Luo Yannian nodded. Although Shan Fangyun was young, he was already an old Bolshevik soldier who had joined the Red Army for six or seven years, so he was relatively reassured.

Before leaving, Luo Yannian took out a handkerchief from his body, untied it, and counted out one yuan and two cents from a pile of dimes, "Make more delicious food for Xiao Ke. It is the time when the child is growing up."

 “I have money.” Shan Fangyun said without picking it up.

"Take it." Luo Yannian put one yuan and two cents into Shan Fangyun's hand, "This is what I gave to Xiao Ke, what are you talking about."

Shan Fangyun did not refuse, he silently accepted the one yuan and two cents.

 Four relatives in Luo Yannian's family died for the Red Army, including Luo Yannian's wife and his six-year-old son when they died.

 After the death of his wife, Luo Yannian has not married again.

 The organization was concerned about his personal life and advised him to marry again.

 Luo Yannian’s answer is:

 I have lost my true love and will have no love for the rest of my life. I only have infinite love for the red cause.

Someone advised Luo Yannian to get married and have children, and said in a serious tone that was not a joke—

 Even if he is sacrificed, there are still children who can continue to work in the revolution.

Luo Yannian was silent, and finally said:

 They are all my flying children.

Feiwa is the nickname of his son, who died in Longhua with his wife seven years ago.

Luo Yannian regarded the children who were helpless after their parents died as his own children. He loved children like Feng Xiaoke who had to stay in Shanghai for various reasons to join the dangerous red cause, and urged them to Protect the dolls.

 …

  Chongqing.

 No. 19, Luojiaping.

With a smile on his face, Qi Wu greeted his colleagues in the corridor and came to the door of the deputy director's office. He straightened his clothes, his expression became serious and serious, and he stepped forward and knocked on the door.
