It wasn't until after breakfast that everyone felt energetic.
According to the arrangement at night, Qiao Yanfang took two brothers to Laoximen of Nanshi to establish a new stronghold.
Chen Zifeng, Xiao Ancheng, and Li San went to the warehouse outside Shiliupu Pier to look for opportunities to make a move!
Qiang Hu took a brother and drove a car to pick up Wei Jiechen and Yang Sanqiang.
Tan Hao and Fu Xuelan are responsible for looking after the house, especially the Japanese, and they must not let them run away!
17-13
This morning, Takahashi did several things he had to do in succession!
The first thing he did was return to the Japanese Military Police Office on Di Siwei Road and immediately dispatched a large number of plainclothes officers to the western suburbs of Shanghai.
The first was to find the whereabouts of Mr. Hattori. He judged that Mr. Hattori might have been killed! But he wanted to find the body!
The second is to look for a small Chinese army unit that suddenly appeared in the western suburbs. He feels that although this small unit is small, it is a huge threat to Shanghai's public security! The destructive power of the army is much greater than that of those Chinese agents.
More! He hopes to find traces as soon as possible and eliminate them!
The second thing is that he ordered the Shanghai Temporary Government, as well as the district governments under it, to order all industries to resume operations! All schools are open! Anyone who fails to comply with the order will be severely punished!
Among them, the most important thing is the port terminal! He ordered the port authority and terminal management office to start loading and unloading business immediately!
The third thing is that he ordered an announcement to be issued throughout Shanghai in the name of the Japanese military headquarters to report those who used force to disrupt Shanghai's security! If one person is reported, a reward of 500 yuan will be given. Those who conceal and fail to report will be severely punished! etc.
wait.
The fourth thing was that he personally led a group of soldiers to Gele Road outside Laoximen, Nanshi.
The disappearance of Mr. Inoue has completely interrupted the secret contact with Chinese agents! This is inappropriate and may cause many unnecessary misunderstandings and troubles!
According to Mr. Sato's suggestion, he should try to restore this kind of contact. No matter how hostile the two parties are, they should maintain some kind of contact, which is beneficial to both parties! Perhaps, this kind of contact will have some special effect!
17-14
He drove to Gelle Road and ordered soldiers to be stationed at both ends of the road as a precaution.
Afterwards, he took an assistant and went to Luojiang's station as if taking a leisurely stroll.
When he slowly walked to the door of the Shikumen house, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, because the door was open.
He put a little smile on his face and walked slowly through the door. He hoped the Chinese agents inside wouldn't shoot him right away!
But the Shikumen house was very quiet, and there seemed to be no one. This quietness made him uneasy. When he slowly walked through the patio and entered the main room, he saw an old woman sweeping the floor.
When the old woman saw him, she straightened up in surprise and asked, "What are you doing? Are you going to rent a house?"
Gao Qiao realized that Luo Jiang might not be here anymore.
He asked: "Are you the landlord?"
The old woman said: "That's right. I'll scan it and it will be rented out again."
"So, where are the guests who rented this house before?" Takahashi asked.
"Let's go, cancel the rent." The woman said loudly.
"When?" Takahashi was shocked.
"I surrendered my land yesterday. Does your husband want to rent here? The rent is not expensive, very cheap."
At this time, a huge question arose in Takahashi's mind!
Luo Jiang obviously transferred! Why! He was warned! Who gave him the warning!
If there was anything unusual yesterday, it was the time Xiao Ancheng left the clinic. I don’t know if it was midnight or dawn!
Could it be that Xiao Ancheng sent a warning to Luo Jiang! But where did Xiao Ancheng get the information? Why did he send a warning to Luo Jiang as soon as he left the clinic! Luo Jiang examined him and he escaped!
If not Xiao Ancheng, who is it?
As if he really wanted to rent this house, Takahashi walked around the whole house. Luo Jiang left very thoroughly and left nothing behind! He couldn't help but think that if he wanted to restore contact with Luo Jiang, he might be
No more!
He was thinking about sending a signal to Ma Yuanbiao and meeting him, maybe he could find out the reason!
17-15
The fifth thing is that after Takahashi led the soldiers away from Jiale Road, they went directly to Shiliupu Pier.
He found Liang Mao's home in a simple and dilapidated residential area south of the dock! This was the information provided by Kawakami!
A soldier came forward and knocked hard on the door.
After a while, the broken wooden door finally opened. It was Liang Mao who opened the door.
Liang Mao recognized at a glance that the Japanese officer standing in front of him was the military police captain Takahashi! He had seen him on the dock!
But he was like a gangster on the pier, grinning widely, nodding and bending, saying: "Sir, you... are you looking for me? I... I am a good citizen, and I have not done anything illegal!"
Kawakami said, this guy is a communist! You have to be careful when dealing with him!
But at this time, Takahashi couldn't see that he was a communist! He could be called a gangster, a gang thug, a gangster at the wharf. You could say he was anything but not a communist!
He pointed at Liang Mao and said: "You, go to the dock now, summon the workers, and start loading and unloading goods today! Go now!"
Liang Mao opened his mouth and looked at him, as if he wanted to explain a few words, but quickly gave up.
He kept saying: "Okay, okay." He turned back and waved to his wife in the room, then followed Takahashi.
17-16
Liang Mao's house was very close to the wharf cargo yard. He led Gao Qiao through several alleys and walked for ten minutes.
Outside the goods yard is Waimai Road. On the Waimai Road, there are some simple and dilapidated small restaurants and hotels. Some dock workers sit inside to chat, drink tea and eat breakfast.
They looked with surprise at Liang Mao walking outside and the dozen or so Japanese military policemen behind him.
Liang Mao grinned widely and waved to them.
After entering the goods yard, Liang Mao turned around and said, "Sir, we're here, we're here."
When we arrived at the cargo yard, which was the open area where loaders usually gathered, there was not a single loader.
There were a few cargo owners wandering around. When they saw Liang Mao and the Japanese soldiers behind him, they did not dare to come over and shouted from a distance: "Ah Mao, there is work, let's start cutting!"
Liang Mao looked around, then opened his hands to Gao Qiao, "Sir, no workers are here today. How can we do this?"
Takahashi shouted angrily at him, "Go find the workers! Go find them now! There are many workers outside!"
However, when Liang Mao returned to the outer road with a few gendarmes, there were no people in those small restaurants and small hotels, and they were all gone! There was not a single person on the entire outer road!
Takahashi finally saw how powerful this jerk-looking guy was! He just waved his hand, and all those people ran away! It was like a slap in the face!
Takahashi glared at him angrily, not wanting to talk nonsense to him anymore! He waved to the military police behind him, and two military police immediately came up, handcuffed Liang Mao's hands behind his back, and dragged him away.
Liang Mao kept shouting, "Sir, I am a good citizen! A very good citizen!"
He was still thrown heavily into the police car!
17-17
Chen Zifeng, Xiao Ancheng and Li San had breakfast and quietly left the hay house on Shiquan Road.
They first walked, then took a tram, and arrived at Longtan Road at around ten o'clock.
They still walked down the deserted side street and entered through the dilapidated gate. Inside was an abandoned construction site.
They quietly walked through the construction site and walked to the fence at the back. The two brothers were still lying on the fence watching.
Chen Zifeng asked them to rest in a dilapidated building and get something to eat. He, Xiao Ancheng and Li San lay on the wall and observed.
The big warehouse has not changed much, but there is an extra straw shed at the entrance of the warehouse. As Li San said, the straw shed is actually a kitchen with a stove inside, and there are some bottles and jars on the stove, which seem to be condiments.
At this time, a Japanese soldier was cooking at the stove. He was washing rice in a washbasin, and there were some vegetables on the ground next to him.
After a while, another soldier came out. While talking to the soldier who was cooking, he stretched his waist, twisted his shoulders, and stretched his muscles. It seemed that he had just fallen asleep.
Chen Zifeng felt that they were so lazy and didn't wake up until now. It seemed that no one really cared about them!
Li San said: "The third one is the one who cooks. The one who just came out is the boss, maybe the squad leader or something. I have never seen him cook. Several other soldiers take turns to cook. Their guns are all in the warehouse. But you
Look, there is a rifle next to the stove. The soldier who was cooking came out with a gun."
Chen Zifeng watched for a while, then looked at Xiao Ancheng with a crooked mouth, "An thief, when do you think we should do it? At night?"
Xiao Ancheng's eyes turned again and again, and he said: "I think tomorrow morning will be better. Let's guard the door and come out to clean up one by one! However, the movement must not be too loud! Li San, they have to come out to do activities in the morning, right?"
Li San said: "That's true. When they get up in the morning, they wash their faces and brush their teeth, and they are all outside the door. They have to empty the urine bucket and defecate by the pond. In the morning, they are afraid that two of them will come out at the same time, which will make a big noise."
Chen Zifeng thought for a moment, "It's better in the morning! But at least four people are needed! Cooperate with each other and act according to the situation!"
As he spoke, he looked back at the dilapidated building behind him, "An thief, we have to stay here for two days and one night! If someone comes, it will be very troublesome! What do you think about setting up a machine gun and two rifles upstairs?
!Don’t shoot unless absolutely necessary!”
Xiao Ancheng said: "There are also two observation posts at both ends of the street outside. If there is an emergency, a signal will be sent. If there is an accident, we can also provide support. What do you think?"
At this time, a brother who had gone to rest ran back and whispered: "Zifeng, the captain is here."
When Chen Zifeng turned around, he saw Peng Shaoyong crouching like a thief and walking quietly towards this side.
He nodded to Peng Shaoyong, then motioned him to look toward the warehouse and explained in detail.
"There are only five people?" Peng Shaoyong asked in a low voice.
"Yes, only five!"
"Can you solve it without alarming the outside world?"
"We should be careful and cooperate with each other, and there should be no problem!"
