Chapter 962: Being petty

 Cheng Qianfan looked at Li Cuiqun.

He touched his slightly stubble, clicked his tongue, and asked in a cold and mocking tone, "What? Deputy Director Li is interrogating me?"

“Junior, I misunderstood.” Li Cuiqun smiled bitterly, “You, you, are just too sensitive.”

He stood up and pulled the ashtray in front of Cheng Qianfan, flicked the ashes, and pushed the ashtray back, "As a brother, I naturally trust my junior. It's just a matter of duty and routine."

“Haha.” Cheng Qianfan sneered, “How do I know where I was when Lu Xingge was rescued?”

As he spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Being rescued?"

This expression?

Have you not heard of this news before?

"That's right." Li Cuiqun glanced at it and said slowly, "Yesterday, our special agent headquarters rounded up Lu Xingge on Xijilaihuoxing Street. Everything was going smoothly, but a group of generals came out from Hengxiali. Lu Xinge rescued him."

 He stared at Cheng Qianfan.

 When Cheng Qianfan heard that "Lu Xingge was rescued", he did not act as "relieved" as he had guessed. Instead, he frowned slightly and was a little angry.

 Does this mean that the relationship between Cheng Qianfan and Lu Xingge has broken down? Already turned against each other?

However, thinking about Cheng Qianfan’s sigh when he mentioned Lu Xingge just now, it seems that it shouldn’t be like this.

 …

"Where I was and what I was doing when Lu Xingge was rescued is not that Yudi deliberately concealed anything. In fact, I didn't know about it at all, let alone answer the question of what I did at that time. "Cheng Qianfan frowned.

Li Cuiqun was slightly surprised. He noticed that Cheng Qianfan was no longer sarcastic, and his attitude was quite serious when he said these words.

 It seems like he is really worried about Lu Xingo escaping capture?

 “Yesterday afternoon.” Li Cuiqun said.

"Yesterday afternoon, there was a firefight on Xijilaihuoxing Street." Cheng Qianfan frowned and muttered a few words, and then showed a look of surprise after thinking, "Yesterday afternoon, there was a firefight on Xijilaihuoxing Street. I know about it."

  He flicked the ash from his cigarette, "It's just that I didn't know before that it was you who were arresting Lu Xingo."

As he spoke, Cheng Qianfan suddenly showed interest. He asked Li Cuiqun, "I heard that your unit suffered losses, with several people killed and wounded, and the leader was killed?"

 Seeing the flash of joy in Cheng Qianfan's eyes, is this gloating?

No matter how well-mannered Li Cuiqun was, he couldn't bear it anymore. He snorted coldly and was about to question.

“Who is leading the team? Is it Dong Zhengguo?” Cheng Qianfan continued.

Li Cuiqun's dissatisfaction was mostly dissipated immediately, and he suddenly felt like he couldn't laugh or cry.

  Dong Zhengguo once led the assassination of Cheng Qianfan when he was still the "first officer" of the Shanghai District of the Central Government. This guy really held a grudge. He wished that it was Dong Zhengguo who was killed on Xijilaihuoxing Street.

 …

"I'm afraid my junior will be disappointed." Li Cuiqun said coldly, "The leader is Sishui, and the one who was killed is the brother of Sishui's subordinates."

His tone was cold, no matter what, Dong Zhengguo was his now, and Cheng Qianfan spoke like this, and Li Cuiqun couldn't look down upon him either emotionally or rationally.

“That’s a pity.” Cheng Qianfan shook his head and sighed.

He saw Li Cuiqun's gloomy expression, but he smiled nonchalantly and answered Li Cuiqun's question just now, "I was inspecting the goods in the warehouse at that time."

 He did not say in which warehouse the goods were inspected.

 Li Cuiqun did not continue to ask further questions. He knew that if he continued to ask, Cheng Qianfan would not say anything and would instead fall out, because it would be like a real interrogation.

Even though he answered Li Cuiqun’s question, he felt quite unhappy after all.

So Cheng Qianfan took a deep breath from the cigarette, and a thin stream of smoke came out of his nose. He took the ashtray directly, pressed the cigarette **** hard, and then stood up suddenly, "If Deputy Director Li still thinks there is something suspicious, You can send someone to check."

 Speaking, Cheng Qianfan clasped his fists and said, "Goodbye."

Li Cuiqun was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Cheng Qianfan to turn against him immediately.

 “Junior——”

Cheng Qianfan walked to the door and stopped. He walked back in two steps, picked up the cigarette case he had forgotten on the coffee table, took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth. He held the cigarette case in his hand and broke the cigarette. Throw it on the ground.

While walking with his head down, he took out a lighter and lit the cigarette in his mouth.

'Mr. Xiao Cheng' stopped at the door, turned to look at Li Cuiqun, chewed on a cigarette, and said coldly, "Senior, you can send someone to investigate, but I'm stupid, I'm ahead of you. If you're not good enough, you'll be unlucky to me." Here, senior, please prepare to pay the pension."

With that said, Cheng Qianfan opened the door and went out.

“Junior, why bother? You have such a temper.” Li Cuiqun said with a wry smile.

Then he heard Miles Qianfan shouting in the corridor outside.

 “Haozi, let’s go.”

 …

 The smile on Li Cuiqun's face faded, and his expression became gloomy.

Soon, he laughed and followed out.

This guy is acting recklessly on his territory, and he has to endure it, which is very irritating.

 Going downstairs from the third floor, we came to the courtyard of the secret service headquarters.

Cheng Qianfan's face was gloomy, but he closed his mouth and did not say anything angry.

Li Cuiqun had a faint smile on his face. He walked beside Cheng Qianfan and even tried to persuade him a few words at first. When he saw that Cheng Qianfan ignored him, Li Cuiqun was not angry and still had a faint smile on his face. See you all the way.

Haozi had already jogged over, quickly started the car, then got out of the car and opened the rear door.

Cheng Qianfan came to the car door and snorted coldly, "Deputy Director Li, stay."

　　"You're a stranger, aren't you?" Li Cuiqun smiled, "What a big deal for you, you are so petty."

“No, I’m not a petty fellow, I’m just a cheap one.” Cheng Qianfan sneered, “I’m going to bring you here for interrogation, tsk tsk.”

"That's it." Li Cuiqun saw that Cheng Qianfan seemed to be really angry and anxious. He took two steps forward and said, "If I really doubted you, I would be like this. Brother, do you want to drink tea and talk? You need to change your temper, that is, for my brother’s sake, I don’t mind.”

Cheng Qianfan got into the car, rolled down the window, and heard Li Cuiqun talking.

 He suddenly chuckled and said, "Senior, I have a message for you, my foolish brother."

“Junior, let’s talk.” Li Cuiqun came over and was no longer angry. Is this?

"The Secret Service Headquarters openly allows anyone to read red and hateful newspapers. Is this selflessly cultivating talents for the Red Party and Chongqing?" Cheng Qianfan chuckled and said, "Whoever proposed such an action is a very special person. Stupid is bad!”

 After saying that, Cheng Qianfan knocked on the backrest of the driver's seat and motioned for Haozi to drive. He muttered, "I'm afraid I'm stupid, but I'm just pretending to be stupid."

 …

 Hey, this guy!

Li Cuiqun watched Cheng Qianfan's car leave, his expression changed continuously, and finally he snorted coldly.

 This guy is indeed extremely narrow-minded.

He was sure that Cheng Qianfan didn't intend to say the last words. Maybe he heard himself ridiculing him for being "small-minded", so he used practical actions to show what it means to be small-minded.

Placing banned newspapers and periodicals close to Red and Chongqing in the reception room and reading room for anyone to read will most likely improve everyone's ability to detect the propaganda of anti-Japanese elements. It can also secretly observe and fish out possible spies hiding in the secret service headquarters. This method It was proposed by Su Chende.

 According to Cheng Qianfan, the person who proposed this method is either stupid or bad, or even pretending to be stupid.

So, is Su Chende stupid?

 Or are you pretending to be stupid?

Su Chende is naturally not stupid, on the contrary, he is very capable.

bad?

Li Cuiqun naturally would not suspect that Su Chende had a problem.

 However, Li Cuiqun had to admit the disadvantages pointed out by Cheng Qianfan:

What if some of your subordinates were affected by the comments in these newspapers and periodicals? It was fine in the first place, but now it has deteriorated because of it?

 The worst thing is, even if no one is affected by the press, how will this move be viewed in the eyes of the Japanese?

Su Chende proposed this method, is there really no hidden secret?

Li Cuiqun frowned.

Soon, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He is an extremely smart person, so he naturally knew that this was Cheng Qianfan's deliberate attempt to retaliate against his "small-mindedness".

Reason told him that there was nothing wrong with Su Chende, and Cheng Qianfan deliberately used words to cause trouble.

 But this man just can’t stand the scrutiny...

Does Su Chende really have hidden evil intentions?

　　Li Cuiqun himself didn’t believe it if Su Chende didn’t have any small thoughts in it.

So, what’s the idea?

Li Cuiqun chuckled:

 That guy Cheng Qianfan is just pure bad!

 …

“Haozi, has my whereabouts been confirmed yesterday afternoon?” Cheng Qianfan asked with a serious expression.

"Everything was arranged according to the plan." Li Hao said, "Everyone saw Brother Fan entering the warehouse. I checked carefully later and there was nothing wrong."

He thought for a while, "Unless you hit the wall with a sledgehammer, you won't be able to see it from the outside."

Cheng Qianfan nodded and built a secret door in warehouse No. 4, just in case he needed to hide it from others one day.

“Brother Fan, do you still remember the person we saw when we entered the yard?” Li Hao asked.

 “Is he the one who was tricked into coming in?”

 “How did Brother Fan know that he was tricked into coming in?” Li Hao asked.

 Cheng Qianfan did not answer the question, "Think about it carefully."

 Then seeing Haozi's expression, he couldn't help laughing and scolding, "What? You still want to test me?"

Li Hao chuckled and touched his head.

Through his own analysis and judgment, he came to the conclusion that the person was deceived by the spy. Later, while bragging and chatting with the person No. 76, he got further information and confirmed his judgment. This made Haozi Feeling a little complacent, I thought about taking a test on Brother Fan.

 Brother Fan deserves to be called Brother Fan.

 “What did you find out?” Cheng Qianfan asked.

Since Haozi wants to 'test' him, it must mean that Haozi has obtained some information.

"That man is the shopkeeper of Fangyun Daily Grocery Store on the street. His surname is Shan. The person who arrested him is a secret agent from No. 76." Li Hao said, "This man's surname is Tang (Tang). This man's surname is Tang. Shopkeeper Shan said he was a carpenter, so he tricked Shopkeeper Shan into coming to the yard and said he wanted to ask him to repair tables and chairs. Then as soon as he came in, he ordered his men to arrest Shopkeeper Shan. "

“Tell me more about it,” Cheng Qianfan said. He had an impression of Fangyun Grocery Store. It was the grocery store on the street with a crooked sign about to fall off.

"Yes." Haozi thought for a while and added some details he had found out.

After hearing what Haozi said, Cheng Qianfan rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Haozi, do you think this single shopkeeper is an ordinary person who was arrested by mistake, or is there something really wrong?"

 “There’s something wrong.” Haozi said.

"Tell me."

 …

"There are lame benches in the grocery store, which is nothing in itself." Haozi said, "Everyone's life is difficult now and they are not so particular. However, if the shopkeeper knows the carpenter's craft, this is wrong."

Li Hao was born a beggar and begged for a living on the street. He knew best that in his eyes, there was no one more diligent than a carpenter. Whenever there was something in the house that needed repairing, if the carpenter could endure it until the next day, he was a lazy carpenter. .

“Xu is a lazy carpenter.” Cheng Qianfan shook his head and said.

“Brother Fan, you are using strong words.” Li Hao disagreed with what Brother Fan said, “Anyway, I have never seen a lazy carpenter.”

 “Okay, I’m becoming more and more proficient in using idioms.” Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.

Then, his expression became serious, "Haozi, your analysis makes sense to a certain extent. This is indeed a doubtful point. However, there is a bigger doubtful point that you have not noticed."

“Brother Fan, tell me.” Haozi said with a serious expression. He was complacent just now, but now that he heard Brother Fan say there was something he hadn’t seen, his attitude immediately changed.

 Brother Fan said that he did not do well enough, it must mean that he really did not do well enough.

“Did you notice that shopkeeper Shan had something in his hand at that time?” Cheng Qianfan asked.

"No." Li Hao thought for a while and said. He had a good memory and clearly remembered that the single shopkeeper was empty-handed.

 “This is the crux of the problem.” Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice.

 Li Hao frowned, thinking.

 Cheng Qianfan did not explain further, nor did he urge him.

 …

“Watch the road.” Cheng Qianfan said, reminding Haozi to drive carefully.

“Brother Fan, I understand.” Li Hao’s eyes lit up and he said, “A carpenter needs to bring his own men with him when working.”

“That’s right.” Cheng Qianfan nodded.

Don't pick up the ax randomly, don't cross the ruler randomly.

Such as saws, planes, axes, ink fountains, and rulers, these are all items that carpenters carry with them. They are what they use to eat. They are very important, just like a doctor's medical box, a farmer's hoe, and a fisherman's net.

For carpenters, these tools are the key to their survival. Their livelihood depends on these tools, so carpenters also cherish these tools very much.

A carpenter will not go to his employer's house to work empty-handed. He must bring his own tools:

 They do not use other people's tools, and will not allow others to use their own tools.

 Nothing else, I can use my own tools easily and I am familiar with them even with my eyes closed.

 “Brother Fan.” Li Hao said.

"What?" Cheng Qianfan looked up. He didn't need Li Hao to answer. He knew why Haozi called him. In front of him was the street entrance, and he could see the Fangyun Daily Grocery Store with its crooked sign as if it was about to fall off at any moment.

 A boy sat in an empty shop.
