Chen Zifeng and Qiao Yanfang both understand one thing, this is a cover! What they really want to investigate may be their speculation, whether Li Pinxian of the Gui Clan and Han Deqin of Xinghua colluded! How did they collude?

Li Yuan, in the office of the Joint Logistics Office of the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Lusu Theater Command.
The fat Director Yang glared at Qiao Yanfang and said sternly: "I didn't even see a hair in that batch of supplies! I didn't receive them at all! My supplies were indeed robbed by the communist army! That's it! No.
other reasons!"
Qiao Yanfang smiled and said: "Sir Yang, do you have any basis for saying that the communist army has robbed your supplies?"
Director Yang curled his lips and said: "Of the twenty soldiers who escorted the truck, only three came back! They said that they were disarmed by the communist army! All the supplies were robbed by them! Some brothers tried to resist, but they were all killed.
They were beaten to death! These three brothers managed to escape with their lives! What more evidence do you want! Isn’t this the evidence!"
Qiao Yanfang still smiled and said: "Sir Yang, I want to meet these three soldier brothers and ask about the situation at that time."
Director Yang said loudly: "Go ahead and ask! The transportation camp of the Joint Logistics Office is just outside Xinghua City!"

Director Yang is right. The Transportation Camp of the Joint Logistics Department is located outside Xinghua City and occupies a large yard.
Dozens of trucks were parked in the yard. Some soldiers were maintaining the cars. The bungalows on both sides were their dormitories. Some soldiers were sitting at the door washing clothes and drying quilts, and some gathered together to chat.
In the transportation battalion headquarters office, Lieutenant Colonel Xiang Boyuan, the battalion commander, stared at Qiao Yanfang with hostility in his eyes.
Qiao Yanfang was calm and looked at him calmly.
At this time, an officer ushered in three soldiers and said, "Sir, they are here."
Battalion Commander Xiang said: "Vice Captain Qiao, in May this year, our supplies were robbed by the communist army. They were the soldiers responsible for escorting the truck! They are simply bastards. Twenty-five soldiers, only three of them came back! What do you have?
If you want to ask, just ask them! I won’t accompany you anymore!” After saying that, he left the office.
The three soldiers all looked stupid and stupid. It was obvious at a glance that they were all simple farmers before joining the army.
However, they all understood the basic rules. When they saw Qiao Yanfang's rank, they still stood at attention and saluted her. However, their eyes blinked again and again, looking at this young and beautiful female officer in surprise, wondering what she wanted to do.
Qiao Yanfang smiled brightly, asked them to sit down at the table, and then started to ask questions.
"Three brothers, I was ordered by my superior to investigate the hijacking of military supplies by Communist troops in May this year. Say whatever you know, but you must tell the truth. If you tell lies, I can tell.
"
The three soldiers looked at her blankly, and no one said anything.
"On what day did the communist army hijack our military supplies? Do you remember?" she asked with a smile.
"Sir, that happened... on May 16th," a leading soldier said.
"Brother, you remember it very clearly. Why?"
"Sir, as soon as we came back, all the superiors came to ask questions. We asked several times. It was really annoying, so I just remembered it. That's it."
"Stop talking about reporting to the commander. Just say whatever I ask, okay? Please tell me the process."
"Sir, when we used to transport supplies, the commander had to say hello to the Communist army first, and only after they agreed did we transport them. We had a total of ten vehicles that time, most of them were arms, and there were also some military uniforms, shoes and hats.
Yes, the portion is very heavy!”
"How many people are you escorting?"
"There are ten cars in total. There are two or three brothers in each car. Two are driving and one is sitting in the carriage. That's it."
"Is the road safe?"
"We arrived at Dingyuan County first. People had known about it a long time ago and sent us directions and told us to leave."
"Are they followed?"
"Yes. We want to cross the railway. Without their people, we can't cross the railway!"
"Crossing Jinpu Railway?"
"Yes. They fired first, attracting the Japanese soldiers to fire, so we passed by quickly! It's always like this every time."
"Then what?"
"As soon as we crossed the road, they went back. We walked to Lai'an County. There were their checkpoints on the road. They asked us clearly and gave us directions."
"Is anyone still following them here?"
"Yes. There are many checkpoints on the road. With their people there, it's better than the roads."
"and after."
"Then we arrived at Banta Town. They just asked us, and a few people followed us, and we headed towards Tongcheng Town."
"Is there anything unusual about the people following the car from the communist army?"
"Mo oh. They just encountered the checkpoint. Say hello to the people at the checkpoint, and we will continue moving forward."
"Where are they sent?"
"They went all the way to Tugou Town. After leaving the town, our people waved to us on the hills in the distance, and they went back. We continued to move forward."
"Brothers, you have already seen your own people. Why do you say that the communist army has robbed your supplies?"
"Sir, we later found out that those waving to us were communist troops! Don't make a mistake!"
"Okay, let's talk about the process!" Qiao Yanfang looked at them seriously.
"Sir, we drove over later. When we got to the foot of the mountain, we didn't recognize the people who came to pick up the car. They set up a fire on the roadside and stewed a pot of meat and scallion pancakes for us to eat.
Let’s eat before leaving. Sir, we are also hungry. We have been running for a long time and it is already past noon. We will come down to eat.”
"Sir, the meat is really delicious, and the scallion pancakes are freshly baked and delicious. We are just hungry."
"Sir, we just didn't think much about it. The first time we were given stewed meat and scallion pancakes to eat. If we do this the second time, we will know that this meal will not be enough."
"What did they do next?" Qiao Yanfang asked hurriedly.
"Sir, they suddenly raised their guns and told us not to move! Sir, we were stupid! Only then did we realize that they are not our own, they are the communist army!"
"How did you get it!"
"They have armbands on their arms that say New Fourth Army. We don't have armbands, so this is different!"
"Didn't you see it at first?"
"The first things we saw were the same military uniforms as ours! We didn't pay much attention to them. But then they picked up their guns, and we saw that several of them had armbands on their arms!"
"So, you assume that they are communist troops!"
"Yes, sir, there is no one else in that area! We, the Communist army, and then the Japanese army! Sir, think about it, who else is coming! If not the Communist army, who is it?"
"What will you do next?" Qiao Yanfang was even more confused!
"A few brothers also panicked and moved their guns. They opened fire immediately! We ran away! The three of us actually ran away! We only met on the road later!"
"What about when we go back?"
"It will be unlucky after I go back! I was put in solitary confinement first, and the officers came to ask questions one after another. Oh, they asked all eight generations of my ancestors! At least before my grandfather, no one had been in the communist army.
!Sir, we are so unlucky!"
Qiao Yanfang's thinking does not follow a straight line to the end!
She could tell at a glance that what these three soldiers told was the truth and came from their own experiences!
But she just had doubts about this matter! But the soldiers were right, there was no one else in that place! There were only the First National Army, the New Fourth Army, and the Japanese army nearby! Who else would take action against the supplies of the First National Army!
Damn it, what is the purpose of those who robbed the National Army's supplies? The key is this purpose!

In the evening, Qiao Yanfang returned to the car shop. After thinking about it, she turned on the radio and called her brother Xiao's radio station.
The radio station was connected quickly. Brother Xiao only sent one word: "Qiao?"
Qiao Yanfang replied with a smile: "Brother, is there anything unusual in Changsha?"
“A long list of abnormalities!”
"what's the situation!"
"I can't tell. I'll tell you more when we meet! How are you?"
"Brother, does he miss me?"
"Always!"
"This place is also abnormal!"
"What's the matter?"
"Investigating the conflict between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party! Weird!"
"It must be very troublesome!"
"yes!"
"As told by the headquarters?"
"yes!"
"Joe, beware of danger!"
"What's the meaning?"
"The things that were noticed by the headquarters may have something to do with the higher-ups! Do you understand?"
"Understood, I think so too, I will be careful!"
"I have a hunch that we will meet soon!"
"real?"
"It's just a hunch, let's see! We'll elaborate more when we meet!"
Qiao Yanfang turned off the radio and took off the headphones from her head. She felt that her brother had a sentence that she must pay attention to! Beware of danger! As long as it is a task assigned by the headquarters, there must be danger hidden!

No. 19, Fuqian Street, Xinghua County.
Also that night, Yuan Qinxin had a smile on her face and slowly stirred the coffee in the cup with a small spoon, but there seemed to be a thunder in her ears!
As soon as Wei Xijiang mentioned the words "Chen Zifeng", she became wary!
Chen Zifeng is a big guillotine hanging over her head! It will fall down at any time and kill her!
Just because when she was performing an extremely simple task in Shanghai, although she was cautious, something unexpected happened! A big guillotine appeared above her head! She still can't see what kind of sacrifice she will have to make for this.
cost!
Looking back and thinking again, she had a new feeling about the mission Takahashi sent her to Xinghua! It was not the feeling of how to complete the task, but the feeling that she might be in danger!
The most clear thing in her mind about this danger is that it is also related to the safety of her brother Takeo!
Therefore, she must carefully think about every step she takes next! She can't make a wrong step! If you make a wrong step, the big guillotine will fall!
"Xijiang, I'm just here to investigate, okay, why are you angry?" Yuan Qinxin said with a smile.
"They say they are here to investigate! But I just have a feeling that Chen Zifeng and those people may be biased towards the New Fourth Army!"
