Chapter 961 Top performance

  Li Cuiqun made a gesture to Cheng Qianfan, signaling him to be calm and calm.

  He rang the bell on his desk.

   "Let Cao Yu come over."

  Cheng Qianfan got up slightly, he pulled the ashtray on the coffee table towards him, flicked the ashtray, leaned on the back of the sofa, and raised his legs.

   "You, this is treating Brother Wei as your living room." Li Cuiqun said with a smile.

   "Could it be that the senior's territory is still restricted?" Cheng Qianfan asked back.

  Li Cuiqun laughed loudly and waved his right hand.

   Soon, there was a knock on the office door, and a man with half an ear on one side came in.

   "Director." Cao Yu bowed slightly to Li Cuiqun, and then nodded to Cheng Qianfan.

   "Put your things down, go get busy." Li Cuiqun said lightly.

   "Yes." Cao Yu put the file bag on the desk with both hands and retreated.

   "I remember this person is from Wang Kangnian's detective team." Cheng Qianfan showed surprise.

   "An accident happened to Wang Kangnian, and Cao Yu didn't have a good time with the detective team, so he voted for me." Li Cuiqun explained, he untied the file bag, and took out a few photos from it.

   "Look at this." He handed a photo to Cheng Qianfan.

  Cheng Qianfan showed a puzzled expression, but still took the photo.

  Li Cuiqun stared at Cheng Qianfan, capturing his emotional changes and facial reactions.

   "This person..." Cheng Qianfan looked at the photo with a frown, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, but he seemed to be thinking, and he looked up at Li Cuiqun.

  …

  Li Cuiqun could see Cheng Qianfan's expression in his eyes.

   Not quite right.

   The photo in his hand was secretly taken by Secret Service Headquarters when it was looking for Lu Xingo's trace.

  Cao Yu revealed an important piece of information:

  Lu Xingge, who is under the military control of Shanghai Station, and Xiao Cheng, who is in the French Concession, are always sworn brothers.

   This is information that surprised Li Cuiqun.

The information should be true and accurate. The information comes from Lu Fei, who was formerly in the Shanghai Station Operation Brigade of the Military Command. This person had a quarrel with Lu Xingge when he was in the Shanghai Station Command of the Military Command. Cao Yu had a good relationship with this person when he was in the Detective Brigade. , so I learned about it from Lu Fei.

   At the same time, this information also strengthened Li Cuiqun's determination to annex the Shanghai Police Department's detective brigade. The detective brigade was formed with the former Shanghai Station of the Party Affairs Investigation Office as its team, and at the same time, some personnel from the Military Command Shanghai Station joined.

   Even to a certain extent, the professional ability of the detective brigade is better than that of the Secret Service Headquarters, which still has a large proportion of Qinghong gang members at this stage.

  …

  Lu Xingge and Cheng Qianfan are sworn brothers, there should be no mistake in this point.

   Li Cuiqun took out this photo, on the one hand, to secretly test Cheng Qianfan.

If Cheng Qianfan and Lu Xingge had a secret connection, of course Li Cuiqun would not superficially think that Cheng Qianfan was an anti-Japanese element. In fact, this kind of contact with a personal relationship does not explain anything. The first basis is that Cheng Qianfan is strong enough to protect himself, otherwise, even if nothing happens, he can be framed, not to mention that Cheng Qianfan is Lu Xingge's sworn brother, this relationship is a criminal evidence, and the secret service headquarters will not let it go Fat to the lips.

  However, if the two have a secret relationship, the junior's vigilance level with him will be adjusted, and at the same time, he will secretly increase his attention to Cheng Qianfan.

  If Cheng Qianfan hadn't had a secret relationship with Lu Xingge, or even showed indifference to this former sworn brother, Li Cuiqun would have considered asking Cheng Qianfan to help capture Lu Xingge.

   Speaking of his understanding of Lu Xingge, Cheng Qianfan definitely knows a lot about Lu Xingge, especially some life details, and such life details often bring unexpected surprises during the arrest process.

  However, Li Cuiqun imagined several possibilities in advance, but Cheng Qianfan's reaction after seeing the photo was beyond Li Cuiqun's expectation:

  Cheng Qianfan didn't seem to recognize the man in the photo.

   No, it's not that I don't know at all.

  Cheng Qianfan's eye expression gave Li Cuiqun the impression that Cheng Qianfan didn't recognize who this person was at first glance.

  Then at the second glance, it seems that this person is familiar, so he will show a thoughtful expression.

  His expression now is as if he saw someone with some impression, but he couldn't remember who this person was.

   This is not right.

  If Cheng Qianfan is indeed Lu Xingge's sworn brother, how could he not recognize Lu Xingge? !

  …

  Li Cuiqun looked calm, but he was thinking quickly in his mind.

  Three possibilities:

  First, the man in the photo is not Luxingo, that is to say, they have always mistakenly thought that this person is Luxingo, but in fact this person is not,

   This person is indeed from the Military Command Shanghai Station, but it is not Lu Xingge.

Li Cuiqun himself immediately denied this possibility. First of all, they tended to suspect that this person was Lu Xingge, and then during the process of arresting this person, Hong San deliberately called out Lu Xingge's name, and the other party did not Without denying it, later Lu Xingge simply admitted in words that his identity was Shanghai Station Lu Xingge.

  So, this person should be Lu Xingo.

   Then, in this case, there are two other possibilities.

  Lu Xingge and Cheng Qianfan are not sworn brothers, so Cheng Qianfan doesn't actually know this person?

This possibility is also relatively small, closely following what Cao Yu learned from Lu Fei before, that Lu Xingge and Cheng Qianfan are sworn brothers. This matter is indeed a secret inside the Shanghai Railway Station, and most people don't know it, but Lu Xingge Fei is Zheng Lijun's confidant, this is what Lu Fei heard from Zheng Lijun's mouth.

   Then, only the last possibility remains:

  Cheng Qianfan and Lu Xingge are indeed sworn brothers. Cheng Qianfan naturally recognized the man in the photo as Lu Xingge, but now he pretends not to recognize him.

  Why is this?

  Cheng Qianfan is covering up his secret relationship with Lu Xingge? So pretend you don't know him?

  If you follow this logic, then—

  Cheng Qianfan secretly had contact with Chongqing?

   Even, Cheng Qianfan is from Chongqing?

   Li Cuiqun's heart moved, but he calmed down again immediately, and he tended to deny this possibility.

reason?

  After these days of contact, Li Cuiqun has a relatively clear understanding of this junior.

  'Mr. Xiao Cheng' is greedy for money and lustful.

   Vice President Cheng's greed for life and fear of death is not bad.

  However, this does not mean that this is a mediocre person who only knows how to make money and enjoy himself.

On the contrary, the second-in-command of the Central Patrol House, which ranks first among the six arrest houses in the French Concession at the age of weak crown, has a gun, and the black market business is flourishing, and its influence and tentacles penetrate the entire French Concession, even in the huge Shanghai Tang can be regarded as a well-known character.

  The most important thing is that this person is close to the Japanese, can be reused by the French, and has a high prestige in the patrol room, and is also involved with the Qinghong Gang.

  …

   Such a person can be said to have both ways.

  Cheng Qianfan is greedy for money and lustful, greedy for life and afraid of death.

  Cheng Qianfan is polite, humble and knowledgeable.

  He is also the one who is ruthless, insidious and cunning.

   Li Cuiqun will not underestimate such a Cheng Qianfan.

  Similarly, he didn't think that after he took out such a photo, Cheng Qianfan would foolishly think that he could get away with pretending not to recognize the man in the photo.

  Smart people play tricks like this, it’s not smart, it’s stupid, it’s self-defeating.

  Cheng Qianfan can express his surprise generously, for example, ask him directly:

  Why does the senior have a photo of my big brother Lu?

  This reaction is normal and reasonable.

  Then, here comes the question, why did Cheng Qianfan act like "first he didn't recognize Lu Xingge, then he seemed to think of something, and then he thought about it"?

  Li Cuiqun was puzzled.

  No matter what aspect he considers, Cheng Qianfan shouldn't have such a reaction.

  Since he couldn't figure it out, Li Cuiqun simply didn't go around in circles. He smiled calmly and asked, "This person is Lu Xingge, a master of operations at the Shanghai Station of the Military Command..."

  In some cases, it is wrong to go around the corner, so you might as well try it out.

  This kind of straightforward approach can be understood as being honest and honest.

   can also be understood as scaring the snake.

  …

  Li Cuiqun stared at Cheng Qianfan, trying to capture the slightest change in expression.

   Cheng Qianfan, who was thinking, had a strange look in his eyes, and Li Cuiqun captured the expression at this moment. This is—

   Suddenly?

  Why this emotion?

  Cheng Qianfan nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, this is Lu Xingge."

  Li Cuiqun frowned slightly.

   There is nothing wrong with this sentence, this tone, this movement, but there is an inexplicable weird feeling.

It's just like…

  He couldn't find how to describe it for a while.

  That’s right, it’s like a confirmation, like Secret Service showing someone a photo to make him identify it, and then the person gives a confirmation reply after careful identification.

   Or, I know a certain person, but I have only met him from a distance, and I have never met him up close. Now I look at the photo, oh, so it is him.

  However, Lu Xingge and Cheng Qianfan are sworn brothers.

  Therefore, this feeling subconsciously made Li Cuiqun feel a little weird.

  Cheng Qianfan seemed to have noticed Li Cuiqun's gaze, and he shook his head, then sighed, "To be honest, Lu Xingge is the sworn brother of Brother Yu."

   As he spoke, Cheng Qianfan smiled wryly, "However, perhaps in the eyes of Brother Lu, he already disowns me as a sworn brother."

  He looked at Li Cuiqun, "Senior, it's not that Yudi deliberately pretended not to recognize it just now, it's really..."

  Cheng Qianfan took out the cigarette case, lit a cigarette, and took a deep breath, "It's true, Brother Yu and Lu Xingge have political disagreements, it's already... alas."

  …

  Li Cuiqun nodded slightly, showing the style of 'expressing understanding'.

  He was thinking in his heart.

  Lu Xingge and Cheng Qianfan have long since broken up?

  So, Cheng Qianfan's unrecognizable look just now was actually sentimental? Remembering the past?

  The later line 'Yes, this is Luxingo'.

   is also a subconscious emotion.

   It's a bit like, it seems that it does have such a meaning.

but…

  Li Cuiqun always felt that there was a little bit...well, it’s not weird, but it’s not that kind, that kind—

  The natural and refreshing feeling of doing mathematical calculations, finally finding the solution to the problem, and calculating the answer very refreshedly.

   Of course, it may also be that I am too sensitive.

  Li Cuiqun suppressed the feeling in his heart, and he showed a dignified expression, "The younger brother is very frank, and I am very pleased for the brother."

   "There is no unspeakable reason for seniors." Cheng Qianfan glanced at Li Cuiqun, and then took several puffs of cigarettes in a row.

   "Does my junior know that Lu Xingge is a member of the military command Shanghai Station, and he is a capable action master?" Li Cuiqun asked.

   "I know." Cheng Qianfan nodded, and without waiting for Li Cuiqun to ask, he continued to say, "Lu Xingge entered Chen's residence at night and plotted to assassinate Minister Chen. How could I not know about such a big event that caused a sensation in Shanghai."

   As he spoke, he showed hesitation.

  …

   "Student..." Li Cuiqun picked up the cigarette case Cheng Qianfan put on the coffee table, and took out a cigarette.

  He observed carefully just now, Cheng Qianfan pulled out the cigarettes from the cigarette case at random, not in a regular way, so he can confirm that there is no problem with the cigarettes in the case.

  Cheng Qianfan took out the lighter and helped Li Cuiqun light the cigarette.

  He flicked the cigarette ash himself, and smiled wryly, "Senior, I will tell you the truth in person."

  He took a drag on his cigarette and shook his head, "When Chen Zhuan was killed, Brother Yu was in Chen's mansion."

   "Student was in the Chen mansion at that time?" Li Cuiqun showed a surprised expression.

"Yeah, I was there at that time." Cheng Qianfan's eyes flickered with inexplicable color, "It's just that at that time, my brother Yu was a little drunk, lacked vigilance, and didn't see the face of the murderer, so that he later found out that the murderer was actually Lu. Xingo."

  Speaking, Cheng Qianfan laughed at himself, "My stupid brother was really scared, and every time I thought about it later, I couldn't help thinking, if he wasn't eliminated by the military commander at that time, could it be that Lu Xingge was merciful?"

   "The current situation is turbulent, you and I are both wandering in the world, there are too many difficulties." Li Cuiqun patted Cheng Qianfan on the shoulder.

   He could feel and understand the bitterness in Cheng Qianfan's words.

  However, the last sentence, this sentence, the feeling of unsmoothness and inaccessibility that had been suppressed just now came again in Li Cuiqun's heart.

Yes.

  The last sentence ‘was not eliminated by the military commander at that time, could it be that Lu Xingge was merciful? ’, if ‘I was not eliminated by the military command at that time, could it be that Brother Lu was merciful? ’, and that just felt right.

With the emotion of this sentence, Cheng Qianfan should have a brotherly feeling towards Lu Xingge, and also thank Lu Xingge for not taking the opportunity to attack him. Under this kind of emotion, normally it should be called "Brother Lu" yes.

Of course, this is under normal circumstances. Maybe Cheng Qianfan and Lu Xingge, the sworn brothers, had something that deeply affects the relationship between the two that outsiders don’t know. Some personal privacy?

  However, one thing he can be sure of is that when it comes to Lu Xingge, Cheng Qianfan's mood is indeed a little abnormal.

  This kind of emotional abnormality is felt by Li Cuiqun's intuition, but it doesn't seem like there is any connection between the two in private.

   This made Li Cuiqun even more confused.

  Li Cuiqun temporarily put aside these 'random thoughts'.

  He looked into Cheng Qianfan's eyes, took a puff of cigarette as if enjoying himself, exhaled smoke from his nose, and asked casually, "Where was my junior when Lu Xingge was rescued?"
