Chen Zifeng's eyes rolled around and he said, "Xiao Leng and An Zei stay here to see if there are any other orders from the commander. Old Han will take a few people with me to the Holy Palace! Let's go now!"
23-27
It’s a long way from Yangtze Hotel to the Holy Palace near Tongyuanmen!
Chen Zifeng and Han Jindong checked the map and found that there were about two ways to go. One was to take Qingnian Road, go up Luzumiao Street, then take Xinmin Street, then go west on Heping Road, and finally reach the Holy Palace. This road is relatively close.
.
The other way is from Ciqi Street to the south, up to Heping Road and to the west, and you can also go to the Holy Palace. Although this road is a little farther, Wu Jiancheng started tracking the Japanese from Ciqi Street! Follow the path he walked
Maybe you can find some clues!
Therefore, people like Chen Zifeng and Lao Han kept their distance from each other and took the road of Ciqi Street.
23-28
At eight o'clock in the evening, it was already dark, and Chen Zifeng, Han Jindong and others walked to the Holy Palace.
They had placed several surveillance points here to look for traces of the old beggar, and were quite familiar with the streets and houses in this area.
But finding Wu Jiancheng here is harder than a blind cat catching a mouse!
It was pitch black all around, and there were no street lights. Occasionally, there was a little light from a house or a small shop, and I could barely see the streets. It was difficult to find anyone!
They spread out and looked around, but they didn't dare to go too far in case they got separated!
As Lao Han walked on the road, he occasionally said a few words, hoping that Wu Jiancheng could hear his voice.
It was later discovered that Wu Jiancheng was also very cunning. He chose a key location and waited for them at the alley of the Holy Palace!
The Holy Palace is naturally dedicated to Confucius. But some people say that the Holy Palace is actually the "Zi Sheng Palace" and is dedicated to Cangjie. No one can explain these things! Now only its name and temple are left in the Holy Palace.
Gone long ago, this place is called Zhishenggong Lane!
Wu Jiancheng was guarding the alley. As soon as he heard Han Jindong's voice, he whistled!
Chen Zifeng grabbed Wu Jiancheng and hurriedly asked him what was going on!
Wu Jiancheng said: "We'll wait until we get there! I'm afraid that truck will leave again!"
23-29
The place Wu Jiancheng led them to turned out to be the former German Consulate in China!
In 1922, China reestablished diplomatic relations with Germany and built a consulate here. It was a three-story building with arched corridors and was quite exquisite. However, in September 1938, the German Embassy in China moved to
After arriving in Chongqing, consular affairs were transferred to the embassy, and the consulate was closed!
This consulate is now used by the German Chamber of Commerce!
There is a courtyard with an open space in front of the consulate door. At this time, two cars and a small truck are parked in the open space. There is a gatehouse next to the courtyard gate. At this time, the light in the gatehouse is on, indicating that someone is guarding the consulate!
Wu Jiancheng first pointed out the small truck in the yard to Chen Zifeng, then retreated to a secluded place, and then began to introduce to him the tracking process this afternoon!
"Zifeng, you know, I've been watching from Ciqi Street."
"Yes, that's right!" Chen Zifeng nodded.
"But I heard gunshots mainly in the back alley of Ciqi!"
"Which way are you chasing!"
"Go south! I heard gunshots and went south! Go south and exit at the intersection of Ciqi Street!"
"You saw them!"
"Yes, I saw it, but I only saw a few figures from behind! There was a small truck at the back alley! About seven or eight people climbed onto the truck, and the truck drove away along Heping Road!"
"You're chasing the truck?" Chen Zifeng looked at him in disbelief.
"Oh, then how can I catch up! Those are four wheels! However, I later thought that trucks can be used on Heping Road, but trucks cannot be used on the side road! At least before reaching Qixinggang, there are no forks! If you pass Qixing
There’s nothing I can do about it!”
"Look for it along the way!" Chen Zifeng had a weird smile on his face.
"I have no choice! I have to search along the way! I have to go in and look at all the small intersections, and I have to go in and look at all the larger units! Damn it, I searched all afternoon! I just found this place! But..."
He twisted his mouth.
"What's wrong!"
"Zifeng, I'm not sure if this is that truck! I only took one look at that truck and drove away! After so long, I don't know if it's the one! I can only comfort myself in my heart,
There are several small trucks like this in Chongqing! And they carry tarpaulins! There shouldn’t be many! Do you think so?”
Chen Zifeng turned around a few times and pointed back to him, "I understand what you mean! There shouldn't be many trucks in Chongqing! There are very few such small trucks, and even fewer with tarpaulins!" He turned back and said: "
Old Han, you build two surveillance points near here! Keep an eye on this truck before we find other trucks! Once it’s completed, you stay! Keep an eye on this truck too!”
Han Jindong said: "Zifeng, what are you doing?"
Chen Zifeng said: "I'm going to think of a way to see if I can find more small trucks! We have no other clues now, so let's focus on this first! Let's see what happens!"
23-30
Chen Zifeng and Li San found the phone number at Tongyuanmen Police Station and started asking who knew about the truck situation in Chongqing!
He called Director Tang of the Police Department, Commander Liu of the Sixth Gendarmerie Regiment, Director Yang of the Transportation Department of the Ministry of Transportation, Chairman Zhao of the Chamber of Commerce, Manager Gu of the Terminal Transportation Company, etc., but no one knew how many trucks there were in Chongqing.
.There are not many trucks in Chongqing. They all know this, because there are too few roads where trucks can travel in Chongqing!
However, these people all said they were willing to help him find out.
In this way, Chen Zifeng called Jiang Yufeng and told her the situation at hand. He hoped that she would tell her about the situation coming from all sides! Any situation will do!
At this time, Jiang Yufeng told a situation that surprised Chen Zifeng.
Jiang Yufeng said: "Just now, Liang Jinkai called an hour ago. He said he had nothing to do and just wanted to ask about today's situation. He said that our gendarmerie might have some news for him."
Chen Zifeng's mind turned a corner. He first thought of the warning message provided by Liang Jinkai at 9:40 in the morning. Secondly, Chief Gong's doubts about the warning! He still remembered Chief Gong's gloomy eyes at this time! Finally, I don't know.
Did Leng Yue warn Liang Jinkai, and how did she warn her?
Looking at it now, at least when Liang Jinkai called Jiang Yufeng, Leng Yue had not warned him!
In this matter, there is a small doubt that has been quietly hidden in Chen Zifeng's heart without telling anyone!
Qiao Yanfang once issued a warning to Liang Jinkai for the purpose of the Law Enforcement Directorate's investigation into Chief Zhai's fund-raising!
However, no one expected that that night, people from the Communist Party would provide Liang Jinkai with a donation list! This thing was so weird! That night, only Leng Yue left Shuihua Alley and said she wanted to go home to get something!
Chen Zifeng would never dare to tell anyone about this doubt! He knew Leng Yue's background and abilities very well! He might cause trouble for himself! But if there was any chance, he still wanted to find out more quietly!
So, he naturally called Liang Jinkai.
As soon as the phone call came through, Chen Zifeng just said: "Director Liang, someone called you this morning..."
Liang Jinkai over there said immediately: "Captain Chen, what's going on with your Leng Yue! Is she usually so fierce?"
Chen Zifeng couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and asked casually: "What's going on? What did she say?"
Liang Jinkai said a little angrily: "She threatened me not to cause trouble for the gendarmerie! She told me not to talk nonsense about the warning call in the morning! Why is she so fierce! There is simply something wrong! You said I would give it to you
Are you causing trouble? Don’t you know what our relationship is? We are life and death friends! How could I talk nonsense!"
Chen Zifeng screamed and said repeatedly: "Director Liang, please don't be surprised. Our military police team has no trouble on the surface, but secretly, there are really some serious troubles! Leng Yue is more or less aware of these troubles.
.So, she may have a harsh tone, I hope you don’t mind.”
Liang Jinkai took a breath on the phone and said: "It's not just Leng Yue! Just now, Chief Gong also called me and asked about the same thing! I said, I don't know who that person is!
I don’t know him at all, let alone who he is! Captain Chen, is it okay for me to say this?”
Chen Zifeng laughed loudly and said, "Director Liang, as long as you tell the truth, there will be no problem!"
Unexpectedly, Liang Jinkai burst out laughing on the phone, as if he had heard a big joke!
In the end, he said coldly: "There is not a single good person in your gendarmerie! You are too cunning! You have to guard against such a small thing! Do you need it? What do you mean, what I say is the truth! What do I say?
That’s not the truth!”
Chen Zifeng thought about it and felt that what he just said was really chilling. He laughed a few times, but couldn't find anything to say to change it, so he said: "Director Liang, I'm calling you now.
I have something to ask you."
"What's going on!" Liang Jinkai's tone was quite harsh!
"How many trucks do we have in Chongqing? I'm talking about small trucks!"
"What a little truck! That's inexplicable!"
"It's a small truck with a load capacity of only two tons or one and a half tons, and it also has a tarpaulin."
"Seven cars! What's wrong!"
Chen Zifeng was shocked. He grabbed the phone and was speechless! Liang Jinkai said such a thing that made him scratch his head casually! It was so amazing!
"You...what did you say? Seven cars? You...how did you know?"
"We transport so much factory equipment to Chongqing, of course I have to use trucks to transport it! There are 68 trucks in Chongqing with a load of more than four tons! Seven trucks with a load of less than four tons! That's it!"
"You...can you tell me, who owns these...these trucks? Do you know?"
Liang Jinkai sighed, "Okay, come to my office and I'll give you a list, okay?"
