Chapter 608 The night is as bright as ink (please give me a monthly vote)

After Li Hao left.
Cheng Qianfan just sat on the chair. He picked up a box of cigars on the table, pulled out one, opened the drawer, and took out the exquisite set of small scissors made of pure gold.
He slowly trimmed the cigar.
But his thoughts were running quickly, he was thinking.
Why did Hua Bingren suddenly arrest on the 76th?
This question bothered him.
Hua Bingren himself is a subordinate of Zhang Xiaolin's cheap brother-in-law Mi Gen. He is also a small leader within the New Asia Peace Promotion Association. There is no reason for the agents headquarters to suddenly attack Hua Bingren.
Hua Bingren is because the possibility of being exposed as a secret intelligence officer of the Shanghai Special Information Group is very low.
Then, he was suddenly arrested, this is—
Is it because of something or someone involved?
Migen.
Cheng Qianfan suddenly felt aroused his heart.
Hua Bingren is Mi Gen's subordinate.
Liu Yuchu's usual cover-up identity is also a member of the Qing Gang. The leader above Liu Yuchu is Hu Tianming, who is one of Mi Gen's right-hand men.
By this calculation, Liu Yuchu is also Mi Gen's subordinate.
Therefore, it is not ruled out that Hua Bingren and Liu Yuchu are friends within the Qing Gang, and they are even closer to each other.
Considering that Hua Bingren is a loyal person and has a righteous and generous temperament, Liu Yuchu is also a hero, so these two people may become friends.
Cheng Qianfan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He was 60% to 70% sure that Hua Bingren was arrested probably because he was close to Liu Yuchu.
However, this is just a guess and cannot be counted and needs to be confirmed.
Yes, he didn't know whether Hua Bingren and Liu Yuchu were friends.
Hua Bingren is a secret intelligence officer of the Special Intelligence Group and is directly under Hao Zai, the leader of the Second Intelligence Group. Except for him and Haozi, others do not know Hua Bingren's identity.
Hua Bingren also didn't know that Liu Yuchu was the deputy leader of the second group of the Special Information Group.
It is impossible and impossible for any horizontal connection between the two of them to occur.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Yuchu took the initiative to stand up and die to block the enemy. Cheng Qianfan would not have thought that Liu Yuchu would implicate Hua Bingren, nor did he think that Hua Bingren would have arranged for Hua Bingren to retreat.
In fact, because these two people could not have a horizontal contact, even if he knew that Liu Yuchu and Hua Bingren were friends before, he would not have been hasty and panic to order Hua Bingren to retreat.
Cheng Qianfan pulled the lighter, lit a candle made of Lishui pine oil, and carefully smoked the roasted cigar.
His brows were frowning.
Although he now speculated that Hua Bingren might have been arrested because he was implicated by Liu Yuchu, this shows that No. 76 did not understand other situations about Hua Bingren, and the possibility of Hua Bingren's exposure was further reduced.
He was thinking, was his deployment just now too much?
Especially when the special group team ordered the stars to rush to help at night, is this a big fight?
Cheng Qianfan shook his head, his expression firm.
Working underground in a lurking manner, you can’t help but be lucky!
Hua Bingren was implicated by Liu Yuchu's exposure. This is just his speculation. It has not been confirmed yet. What if Hua Zi's own inadvertent care in doing things caused the enemy's suspicion and it led to the exposure?
In addition, even if Hua Bingren was indeed implicated and arrested and interrogated because he was a friend of Liu Yuchu, it is not ruled out that there was an unexpected situation that Hua Bingren was exposed or even punished but could be rebelled.
When things came to this point, Hua Bingren was taken away by No. 76 for some reason. This is very important, but it seems less important.
It is very important because specific things need to be analyzed in detail and then respond to them in a tit-for-tat way.
It’s not important because Hua Bingren is now arrested by No. 76, and this incident alone is enough to constitute a very dangerous incident!
A thousand-mile dike collapses in an ant hole!
He can't help but be careless!
...
Chengfu.
Li Hao found Chen Hu.
"Tonight, the situation was a little chaotic." He told Chen Hu, "We must strengthen the guards in the house and the surrounding areas, and do not let the villain disturb my sister-in-law, the young master and Miss Bao."
"Brother Hao, don't worry." Chen Hu took the cigarette handed over by Li Hao and stopped behind his ears, "I'll stare at it myself."
Li Hao patted Chen Hu on the shoulder and turned around and entered the living room.
"Sister-in-law." Seeing Bai Ruolan coming down from the upper floor in a coat, Li Hao quickly greeted her.
"Where is Qianfan?" Bai Ruolan asked, "What happened?"
"It's nothing, something happened in Beidang District, not the Central District." Li Hao said with a smile.
Bai Ruolan then breathed a sigh of relief, "Are you brother Fan so drunk again? Every time you promise not to get drunk, you will forget it after hearing it."
"Brother Fan has sobered up now, but he is still a little uncomfortable." Li Hao said, "Brother Fan suddenly wants to eat the sour soup noodles made by Miss Zhou. I'm here to pick up Miss Zhou."
Bai Ruolan suddenly looked at Li Hao deeply, "It's really okay? Could it be that I got drunk and went into the bed of a little vixen?"
"No, no." Li Hao waved his hand quickly and said with a wry smile, "Brother Fan is really in the police station. If his sister-in-law doesn't believe it, you can call the office."
"There is no best." Bai Ruolan snorted coldly, looking at Zhou Ru who was preparing to go out with a basket. She yawned, "Only he has a precious belly, he wants to eat sour noodles, and he still tossed Zhou Ru in the middle of the night."
Zhou Ru smiled and said nothing.
Bai Ruolan returned to the upper floor, lifted up a corner of the curtain and watched Li Hao drive Zhou Ru out of the Cheng Mansion gate.
The headlights penetrate the dark night, and the taillights gradually fade away.
Putting down the curtains, Bai Ruolan remained silent. Finally, her worry turned into a long sigh.
...
Father Jin Road.
"You come and cook noodles for me, I'll send a newspaper." Zhou Ru said with a serious expression.
"Okay." Li Hao nodded. He knows how to cook dishes, but his cooking skills are average, so there is no problem cooking noodles.
After Zhou Ru successfully sent the report from the bedroom, the noodles cooked by Li Hao were ready.
Zhou Ru tasted it and frowned.
"What's wrong?"
"The sour taste is not natural, you rely on adding more vinegar." Zhou Ru shook her head.
"How can I compare to you in my cooking skills? Just do it like that. I have to go back before the noodles are rotten." Li Hao took out his pocket watch and looked at the time.
Ten minutes later.
"Put the noodles here." Cheng Qianfan called out to Haozi, who was carrying the insulated lunch box.
Haozi glanced at Brother Fan who was smoking and chatting with Lao Huang in the medical room, handed over the aluminum lunch box, and asked with a smile, "Brother Fan, do you want to have some side dishes? Or I'll get some braised dishes."
"Braised dishes? This is good, let's have some pig ears." Old Huang shouted immediately.
"Forget it." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "I feel sick, so I'm greedy for this sour soup noodles."
He waved his hand at Li Hao, "Go to start the car, it's a headache, the office is uncomfortable, I'm going to be sleepy."
"yes."
Seeing Li Hao turn and leave, Lao Huang stepped forward and closed the door. He turned his head with a serious expression, "Is the situation so serious?"
"Touch the whole body." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "Once there is a problem with Hua Bingren, something big will happen."
He looked at Lao Huang seriously, "You try not to have more contact with me these two days, of course, don't deliberately avoid suspicion, everything will be as usual."
He paused, "If, I mean if-"
Old Huang frowned.
"If I am arrested, you will have Comrade Abacus, Comrade Harmonica, and Comrade Feiyu. Find a reason to leave Shanghai for a while and come back after confirming the news of my death."
"Comrade 'Fire'!" Lao Huang's expression was extremely serious.
"Let me finish my words." Cheng Qianfan's expression was serious and solemn. He waved his hand and stopped Lao Huang from speaking and continued, "Comrade 'Piano', I am now the secretary of the special party branch of the French Concession, talking to you on behalf of the organization."
"Yes, Secretary Cheng."
"I believe in my loyalty to the Party and the people, but we must be prepared for the worst." Cheng Qianfan smiled, "So, if something happens to me, you can come back and continue fighting after the news of my sacrifice is confirmed!"
"Yes!" Lao Huang's eyes were a little turbid due to alcohol damage.
"In addition, I made a small request as an ordinary party member and a comrade-in-arms." Cheng Qianfan said.
"you say."
"If I am gone, I must protect Xiaobao. In addition, I hope the organization can protect my lover and children in the best of my ability." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
After saying that, he didn't wait for Lao Huang to speak, picked up the aluminum lunch box and ate the sour soup noodles in a hurry.
Suddenly, Cheng Qianfan frowned.
"What's wrong?" asked Lao Huang.
"Nothing." Cheng Qianfan shook his head.
This side must not be given by Zhou Ru, but by Haozi. This is a seemingly inconspicuous detail. If this bowl of noodles is eaten by someone else, it would be a fatal doubt.
Cheng Qianfan put the aluminum lunch box on the table and said with a smile, "Old Huang, I'm sleepy, I've washed the lunch box for me."
"This lunch box is good." Old Huang laughed.
"You old guy, you take advantage of all kinds of advantages, I'll give it to you." Cheng Qianfan cursed with a smile.
"I don't want it." Lao Huang yawned, "I'll give it back to you after washing."
Cheng Qianfan stopped leaving, but he did not turn around, opened the door, and was unable to enter the world of heavy night and dim street lights in the yard.
...
Xinkangli.
This is a small alley next to Xue Huali Road.
In order to facilitate the "Xiao Cheng" to have a more comfortable resting environment during his busy work, enthusiastic citizens actively contributed this Shikumen residential house.
Mr. Xiao Cheng repeatedly recommended it, but he could only accept it with great affection.
However, the room decoration style here was outdated, and Cheng Qianfan was not very satisfied and ordered Li Hao to redecorate it.
Second floor.
Cheng Qianfan lifted up a corner of the curtain and looked outside. The night was dark and nothing unusual.
"You stay here to cover me up." Cheng Qianfan said, "Remember, don't panic no matter what happens."
"Brother Fan, I remember." Haozi nodded.
Cheng Qianfan opened the safe, took out a violin case from it, and opened it. It was a Chicago typewriter inside.
He carefully checked the gun, confirmed that everything was normal, put the gun into the violin case and closed the box.
Cheng Qianfan put on makeup in front of the coat mirror.
He put on a wig, with slightly fluffy curly hair.
Beautiful beard.
Wear flat-gloss gold-rimmed glasses.
He picked up a Browning pistol with a sharpened gun, inserted it into the belt behind him, and put it on a thin windbreaker.
When I picked up the violin case, I looked like a music teacher at first glance.
"You cooked the sour soup noodles." Cheng Qianfan suddenly said before leaving the door.
"Yes, time is tight, I'll..." Li Hao said.
"Haozi, remember, the more time is, the more urgent the situation is, the more we cannot panic and be confused." Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression.
"If someone else takes a bite of this noodles, it will be exposed." He patted Haozi's shoulder and said with a smile.
"I understand." Haozi was not stupid. He understood after thinking for a moment. He also had a cold sweat on his back and nodded with a serious expression.
Seeing Brother Fan leave through the secret passage, Li Hao returns to the second floor. He first turned off the incandescent lamp and then left the small night light at the head of the bed.
"Brother Fan, I'm going to sleep next door. I'll call me if I have something to do." Li Hao said.
Back in the next room, he went to bed and lie down with his clothes. He did not turn off the lights. He closed his eyes and soon snoring sounded.
...
The A-font safe house is about two streets away from Xinkangri.
When Cheng Qianfan arrived, Haozai and Taozi were already waiting for him.
"Team leader."
"Team leader."
The two saluted the leader of the "Xiao Mian".
Cheng Qianfan briefly told the two of them about all the major events that happened tonight.
"If you don't understand, ask."
Taozi and Haozai looked at each other, and they asked questions one after another.
"Team leader, can you confirm that Deputy Team Leader Liu died in his country?" Haozai asked a key question.
"It is not possible to confirm for the time being." Cheng Qianfan shook his head.
There was a big problem inside the police room in Beden District. Vaseline was determined to follow the Japanese, so when the police room entered the scene of the ammunition, No. 76 had already dealt with all the heads and tails, and there was not even a body or a wounded person left behind.
Haozi frowned and didn't ask anything more.
"I agree with the team leader's judgment. Hua Bingren's arrest may be related to the exposure of his identity by Deputy Team Leader Liu. Someone should have recognized Deputy Team Leader Liu. "Taozi looked at Haozai, "Deputy Team Leader Liu is under Migen, and Huazi is under Migen. How do these two people usually have a relationship?"
"Huazi is very popular within the Qing Gang." Haozai said, frowned, "In order to avoid excessive contact with Huazi, I will not contact him unless there is a task."
Cheng Qianfan nodded. Haozi meant that judging from Hua Bingren's temperament, he and Liu Yuchu should have known each other and even had a good relationship. However, Haozi tried his best to avoid excessive contact with Huazi for safety reasons, so he was just guessing and did not understand the exact situation.
In fact, this is what Cheng Qianfan has always asked. For secret intelligence officers like Hua Bingren, we should try not to contact them unless it is really necessary.
This arrangement now seems to have both pros and cons.
"Taozi." Cheng Qianfan looked at Qiao Chuntao, "Zhang Xiaolin's man was caught by No. 76, Xia Wenqiao should be interested."
"I understand." Taozi's eyes lit up and he nodded.
Cheng Qianfan looked at Haozai again, "Haozai, after dawn, there will be a case in Suzhou involving the French Concession, and you need to bring someone to deal with it."
"Team leader, I--" Haozai understood the danger of this incident. Although he understood that Brother Fan's arrangement was correct, he did not want to leave Shanghai at this time, and he was worried about Brother Fan.
"This is an order." Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice, "After you leave, the two intelligence groups will be scattered and lurked, and remain silent."
"yes!"
...
Chuansha.
The night is as bright as ink.
Lu Xingge lay in a pit, covered by lush weeds on both sides.
His muzzle aimed at the Japanese soldiers standing guard at the door of the artillery tower.
"Can you fight accurately so far?" Jiang Mulei lying beside him and asked in a low voice.
Lu Xingge tilted his head slightly, glanced at Jiang Muzi with a squint, and raised a proud curve on the corner of his mouth, "Don't worry."
Jiang Muzi grinned and covered her mouth and dared not make any sound.
After spending time together, he has figured out his partner's temper. He seems a little arrogant, but in fact he is a hero without those twists and turns. He is straightforward and easy to get along with.
