Chapter 386 Cleaning up work (please recommend and vote for me monthly)
At seven o'clock in the evening, in the French Concession, in an inconspicuous two-story building on Chongqing Road.
"Why is it you?" As soon as Li Qiang knocked on the door, he was surprised to find that the person who opened the door was none other than Ah Cheng! So he couldn't help but said with a surprised look on his face.
Cheng, who was opposite him, obviously didn't expect that the person knocking on the door would be Li Qiang, so he cautiously asked, "Are you a fisherman?!"
However, as soon as these words came out, the two couldn't help but look at each other and smile. Then Li Qiang lowered his voice and said, "Let's go in and talk!"
But as soon as he walked in, another familiar face appeared in front of Li Qiang.
"Team...Team leader? You..." Aping, who was still chatting in the room, saw Li Qiang walking in. He immediately jumped up from the sofa as if he was electrocuted, and said in a panic.
At this time, Li Qiang's face had long since lost the surprise he had just seen when he saw Acheng. He just snorted and said angrily: "I asked you to pretend to be Acheng, why did you look so similar?"
We've been arguing for a long time and you two are actually on the same team!"
"Team leader, I..."
Not wanting to finish his words, Acheng walked in and stopped him directly, "Okay, Aping, don't say anything! Everyone, let me introduce you, this is our new team leader.
Comrade fisherman!”
Before he finished speaking, a pleasant female voice rang out, "Are you the fisherman?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Qiang immediately looked around and saw that the person speaking was a woman dressed solemnly and elegantly with a beautiful face. So he turned to Acheng and asked, "Who is this?"
However, before Acheng could speak, the woman stood up and walked to Li Qiang, introducing herself gracefully: "My name is Yu Mei, thank you!"
Li Qiang couldn't help being stunned after hearing this, "Miss Yu, it's our first time meeting you. How dare you ask where 'thank you' comes from?"
Yu Mei smiled and asked: "Do you remember 023? It was because of your help that 023 was able to return to the base safely with important information. If it weren't for him, I would have died on the way to rescue my fiancé's adopted sister.
.”
"Then you should thank him instead of me."
"Is there a possibility that I have already thanked him?" Yu Mei said with a half-smile.
"Team leader, Miss Yu is codenamed Teacup. Her public identity is that she is the daughter of the former Prime Minister of the Beiyang Government. She is very popular in both the military and political circles and is a master of intelligence gathering." Acheng continued to introduce.
After saying that, he gestured to the strong man who always stood beside Yu Mei without saying a word, "This is Brother Shitou's codename Bottle. His external identity is Miss Yu's driver and bodyguard. Despite his usually taciturn nature,
But his skills and marksmanship are absolutely top-notch. A Ping’s code name is Ashtray, and as for my code name… it’s Celadon!”
"Your code names sound very familiar!" Li Qiang couldn't help but squinted his eyes.
"Yes, these code names are all used in memory of our old friends."
"So, my code name should be 'Hourglass'?"
"No!" Before he finished speaking, Cheng categorically denied, "The codename 'Hourglass', to us, represents betrayal and shame. We don't want you to make the same mistakes as him, so we hope that you, team leader, will
It continues to use the original code name 'Fisherman'."
Hearing this, Li Qiang nodded, and then clapped his hands, "Okay, now that everyone knows each other, I declare that from today on, our new underground group will be officially established!"
…
After a night of silence, Li Qiang was summoned again the next morning and came to the military police headquarters for questioning.
Since this was the unknown number of times he had been summoned, Li Qiang's face no longer showed the nervousness he had when he was being interrogated for the first time, and instead became a little more calm.
"Report!" Li Qiang slowly came to the door of Fujita Yoshimasa's office and loudly typed a report.
Before he finished speaking, Fujita Yoshimasa's tired voice came from the room, "Come in!"
"Sir Fujita, are you okay?" As soon as he entered the door, Li Qiang pretended to be concerned and said to Fujita Yoshimasa who was looking exhausted behind the desk.
However, Fujita Yoshimasa just waved his hand, and then asked feebly: "Chief Ming, I called you here today because I want to confirm with you that you and Director Wang really did not get on the train on the day of the train accident.
?”
"Yes! Chief Fujita, didn't you see the way Akagi-kun looked that day? His nostrils were almost up to the sky. He refused to let us get on the bus. For this reason, he even had a big fight with him because of his humble position.
The guy was moved! If you still don’t believe it, you can ask Director Zheng, wasn’t he there at the time..."
"Okay, okay, Section Chief Ming, don't be so excited. Didn't I just say that I called you over just to confirm with you, nothing more. I've already asked Director Zheng. It's just me.
There is one thing that I still can't figure out. I wonder if Section Chief Ming can analyze it for me?"
"Sir Fujita, you are too polite. If you have any instructions, just ask. I am responsible for sharing your worries."
"You said that if that Mingtai was not dead, then Liang Zhongchun's escape overnight would have been justified. But now we have used so much manpower and material resources, but we have never found any sign that Mingtai is still alive, so why did Liang Zhongchun still want to do it?
What about running away? And the guy who released the news that Mingtai is not dead, what is his purpose?"
"This..." Li Qiang hesitated for a long time before he plucked up the courage to say, "Sir Fujita, I would like to venture to guess, do you think there is a possibility that someone wants to provoke internal fighting and mutual suspicion between us?
, did you do it on purpose?”
"Well, Chief Ming's guess is not unreasonable. It is indeed very possible. But if this is really the case, then who did it? Chongqing? Yan'an? Or..."
"Sir Fujita, we have an old saying, 'All the bustle in the world is for profit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit.' It means that no matter what a person does, he can't escape the word 'profit', so in the eyes of a humble position
, once we have internal discord, whoever benefits the most will be the most suspect."
As soon as these words came out, Fujita Yoshimasa couldn't help but nod his head, "Well, that makes sense..."
However, just as he was talking, a subordinate rushed in in a panic, forgetting to knock on the door, "Report...report to Chief Fujita, the hijacked train has been found!"
Fujita Yoshimasa's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he didn't even bother scolding the subordinate for his lack of etiquette, and quickly asked: "Where did you find it?"
"Just...on a branch track about 40 kilometers away from the city, a reconnaissance plane discovered the wreckage of the train. It is initially suspected that it was the hijacked train."
"Wreckage?" After hearing this, Fujita Yoshimasa's mood immediately fell from high to low, but he still managed to gather his energy and ordered, "Quick! Send someone to confirm immediately, and report to me immediately after finding out the situation!"
"yes!"
In less than half a day, Fujita Yoshimasa received a report from his subordinates: three carriages, including the front of the train, had been completely blown up by explosives, and the scene was horrific.
But even so, Ming Lou, who rushed to the scene as soon as possible after receiving the news, was able to confirm the fact that Ming Jing was also killed along with the passengers in the car based only on the fragments of clothes and personal jewelry found in the wreckage. Even though
Heartbroken, he vowed to fight the anti-Japanese elements forever!
Since the Japanese did not deliberately block the news, in the evening of that day, the news that the train on which Ming Jing, the chairman of Ming's Enterprise, was hijacked by anti-Japanese elements and was unfortunately killed, had already spread in the city.
However, what most people don't know is that although the scene of the train wreckage was very tragic, during the cleaning process, only the bodies and collar badges of Shigeyuki Akagi and his two personal companions were not found!
It's night, Gendarmerie Headquarters.
"Have you all read the report? If you have any ideas, please tell me!" Fujita Yoshimasa glanced at the people in front of him and said word by word.
Before he finished speaking, Nanzo Yunzi spoke first, "Sir Fujita, now that the matter is here, the facts cannot be clearer. All this must be the fault of Shigeyuki Akagi!"
"What Section Chief Nan Zao said is absolutely true. I thought I should investigate this guy carefully and give an explanation to the military." At this point, Acheng glanced at Minglou who was standing aside, "Of course, it can also be regarded as giving a warning to the deceased.
Explain."
Not only did Xiang Minglou show no appreciation, he didn't even look at Cheng.
At this moment, Yamazaki knocked on the door and walked in, "Report!"
"speak!"
"I just received a call from the local area. A large number of letters to and from Su Hong that had not yet been destroyed were found in Shigeyuki Akagi's residence."
"Asshole!" Fujita Yoshimasa didn't listen. After hearing Yamazaki's report, he punched the desk in front of him and shouted angrily, "It's really hard to guard against day and night, it's hard to guard against house thieves! This
Does Lord Baron know about this?"
"You should already know. Just now, he left overnight for Nanjing."
"Huh! He's smart!" After saying this, Fujita Yoshimasa controlled his emotions a little, and then said to everyone in a commanding tone, "This matter has wide implications and the impact is too bad, so
I hope you can keep this matter secret, and if I hear any rumors, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
"Yes!" everyone replied in unison.
Two days later, a funeral shed was set up again in front of the Ming Mansion.
Ah Xiang and Li Qiang put mourning on Ming Jing, while Ming Lou carried a "posthumous portrait" of Ming Jing with a livid face and carried out the funeral for his sister accompanied by Wang Manchun.
Flags are fluttering and white paper fills the sky.
Above the mourning hall, the fragrance is lingering, and there is an endless stream of people coming to express their condolences. Outside the mourning hall, there are countless wreaths and elegiac couplets.
At this time, Minglou's tears had long since dried up, his expression was like a dead tree, and his heart was broken and he was in pain.
I stared blankly at Ming Jing's "posthumous portrait". In a daze, my sister's voice, face, and smile were still vivid in my mind. When I came back to my senses, I was already separated from yin and yang.
The mournful tune was lingering, and Minglou, who seemed to be hopeless, had a series of numbers in his mind. This was the first time Mingtai contacted him using a password after arriving at the base.
"The mission is completed. Sister, everything is fine. Let me tell you on your behalf: Stay alive and kill the Japanese!"
Stay alive and kill the Japanese!
Just six words, but it contains my sister's endless concern and expectations for me.
Don't worry, sister, this time, I will listen to you and live well, and then, together with your share, kill all the devils who come to invade our country!
Just as he was thinking about it, Li Qiang came in from outside and whispered a few words to Minglou in a low voice.
After hearing this, Minglou immediately stood up, followed Li Qiang out of the gate, came to a black car parked at the intersection, and said respectfully: "Mr. Fujita!"
Fujita Yoshimasa in the car slowly rolled down the window, "Mr. Ming, because of my status, I won't go in. I hope you can show your condolences and cheer up as soon as possible. The new government's economy will not be able to survive without you."
ah!"
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Fujita. Don't worry, I will adjust as soon as possible and return to work."
"That's good!" At this point, Fujita Yoshimasa asked as if he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, the police department of the new government is about to be established, but the candidate for the deputy minister has not been decided yet. I don't know.
Does Mr. Ming have a suitable candidate in mind?"
"In my opinion, Director Li of the Special Task Force is worthy of this position!"
"Li Shiqun? Isn't that right? How come I heard that you put a lot of effort into sitting on this seat?" Fujita Yoshimasa said in surprise.
However, Minglou smiled bitterly, "I really can't hide anything from you. Yes, I did want to take this position at the beginning, but now that something big has happened to my family, I'm really a little discouraged."
"Well, it seems that this incident has indeed caused a big blow to you. Anyway, it's an opportunity! As long as you perform well, there will be more in the future! I won't say any more, take care!"
"You walk slowly!"
Watching Fujita Yoshimasa's car leave, Li Qiang lowered his voice and said to Minglou: "By the way, brother, I haven't had time to congratulate you on your promotion, and now it's you who are commanding me again, Chief Ming!"
"Why, your tone seems very unconvincing? I think you should more or less understand my previous mood now, right?" Minglou said expressionlessly.
"Brother, I didn't expect you to be so vindictive!"
Unexpectedly, Minglou corrected him with a serious face: "This is not called holding a grudge, it's just a matter of having a good memory."
"Hey! Isn't that the same?" Li Qiang couldn't help curling his lips after hearing this, "By the way, can the second phase of the 'Dead Time' plan begin?"
"No, it's not the time yet, please wait."
"What are you waiting for?" Li Qiang asked with some confusion.
"Before you destroy a person, you must first let it expand! Maybe when the time is right, we won't need to do anything." At this point, Minglou paused for a moment, and then continued to ask, "By the way, Lin
How's it going with the staff?"
"We have successfully infiltrated Zhang Ni and gained his trust. What, do you want to take action?"
"On the contrary, inform him that he must be more careful during this period and never reveal his identity. Not only him, but other groups must also remain silent during this period, and wait until the Akagi Shigeyuki incident comes to an end before making next plans!
