About a quarter of an hour later, "Mr. Xiao Cheng" left in a special car under the escort of his trusted bodyguard.
Li Zi, a little maid who was resting in the room downstairs, got up at night and glanced outside. She happened to see the taillights of the vehicle leaving from the window.
The vehicle gallops in the night.
Cheng Qianfan sat in the back seat, looking thoughtfully outside the car window, where the dense autumn rain was falling.
This is the second year since the fall of Shanghai, to be exact, twenty-five months.
His feeling is that the autumn and winter in Shanghai are getting colder every year.
Li Hao rolled down the car window and handed the ID to the Special High School sentry.
This document is a pass issued by Araki Homo to Mr. Cheng Qianfan, deputy general manager of the police station in the Central District of the French Concession.
The Japanese soldiers at the post held picked up their ID. This was a routine inspection. Whether it was the license plate of Cheng Qianfan's car or the appearance of the driver Li Hao, the post held remembered it.
The soldier skillfully put away the voucher for "Jiujiu Trading" in the ID, handed back the ID politely, and looked down at Cheng Qianfan in the back seat, and made a gesture of inviting him to enter.
"You wait for me in the car and don't walk around casually." Cheng Qianfan reminded Li Hao.
"I understand, Brother Fan."
Cheng Qianfan carried a red wine gift box, held a black umbrella, and sank into the continuous autumn rain.
In a room on the second floor of the Special High School Class, Chikiharaji stood by the windowsill. He lifted a corner of the curtain with one hand, and looked at the street lights in the yard, in the flying raindrops, the man held an umbrella and walked up the steps in a hurry.
"What did he do so late?" Qiankihara Shi frowned slightly and said softly.
"Who?" a voice rang in the room.
"Cheng Qianfan from the Central District Police Station of the French Concession." Chikiharaji replied, with a hint of contempt on his lips, "You should have heard of him. This man also gave an empire called Kazuo Miyazaki."
"It's him..." Eiguchi Eki nodded, "I've had a few meetings, but I'm not very familiar with each other."
Qiankiharaji looked at Eguchi Hideya. If he remembered correctly, he saw a minutes from the archives of the Special High School Course. When the Imperial Army attacked Shanghai, Eguchi Hideya had a cooperation with Cheng Qianfan. Cheng Qianfan helped Eguchi Hideya build a bridge to bribe a police inspector named Fei Li, and helped Locust soldiers secretly establish a forbidden stronghold in Zhabei District.
Therefore, Eguchi Ekima also said that he was not familiar with Cheng Qianfan, and this was untrue.
However, it doesn't matter.
His purpose of making friends with Eguchi Hideya was not simple. To be precise, after meeting Eguchi Hideya's wife, Yukita, Chikiharaji recognized Eguchi Hideya as his friend.
"When will I return to Nanjing by Jekou?" asked Chikiharaji.
"If everything goes well, you will go back to Nanjing in a few days." Eiguchi said.
"Is it going to move back to Nanjing this time?" Qiankihara said with a smile, "Don't forget to tell me at that time, I will do it for Eguchi Jun."
"Next time." Eguchi Ekiya said, "I'm busy with official business and come and go in a hurry. I don't have any plans to move yet."
As he said that, a happy smile appeared on his face, "I am still familiar with life in Shanghai."
"I miss Manchuria's life even more." Chikihara Shi said with a wry smile, "There is too much rain in Shanghai, unlike Manchuria, where snowflakes are already floating at this time."
...
Extra-high-level torture room.
Araki Hatsuma picked up the burning iron in a furious manner and pressed it tightly on Quan Lin's chest that was no longer human.
The shrill screams came with a sudden silence.
"Captain, the prisoner fainted again." Gong Bao Yilang stretched out his finger and placed it under Quan Lin's nose. He confirmed that he still had a breath, and said with relief.
"Wake him up." Araki Hatsuma said with a gloomy face.
He personally interrogated the Shanghai Special Inquiry Team member and had been tortured for a long time. In order to pry open Quan Lin's mouth as soon as possible, Araki Bomo did not care that the person had already suffered cruel torture in the torture room on No. 76, and directly used a torture.
However, the young Chinese man's willpower was amazing and he resisted one cruel punishment after another.
At this moment, the bell in the torture room rang.
A special agent ran quickly to the torture room door and picked up the intercom rubber earpiece.
"Captain, Cheng Qianfan from the police station wants to see you."
Araki Hatsuma was a little surprised. What did Miyazaki come to do when he was so late? Is something wrong?
"Please come in." Araki Hatsuma said.
"Hayi." His subordinates were not surprised. The captain trusted the French Concession "Xiao Cheng" which had already given the empire name of "Ichio Miyazaki", which was no longer a secret within the Special High School.
The thick iron door was pushed open, Cheng Qianfan went down the steps, and when he entered his nose, there was a strong bloody smell mixed with the burnt smell. He couldn't help but take out a handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose.
"Kui Bao, let the others go out." Araki Hatsuma said in a deep voice.
"Hayi!" In addition to Gong Baoyilang, several other torture agents left the torture room one after another.
...
"Miyazaki, how long has it been since I personally tortured?" Araki Hatsuma made fun of his friend, "You actually dislike such a charming taste?"
Cheng Qianfan handed over a cigarette and Araki Kaori. He held a cigarette in his mouth, took out a lighter and lit it, and handed the lighter to Araki Kaori. He took several mouthfuls of his own and felt much more comfortable.
He ignored Araki Hiroma's teasing, glanced at the bloody man on the torture rack, and asked with a smile, "What's the origin?"
"Xiao Mian's person." Araki Hatsuma said, "from Shanghai Special Information Group."
"Xiao Mian's person?" Cheng Qianfan showed a shocked expression, with a look of interest.
His surprise was not something he pretended to be. He really didn't know that the bloody man in front of him was actually from the Shanghai Special Love Group.
Or, he had no way of judging whether this person was his subordinate.
For the sake of confidentiality and security, Cheng Qianfan basically only contacted important subordinates such as Qiao Chuntao and Wu Shunjia. For front-line personnel with lower levels, he would not meet.
"I just caught it? Open my eyes and let me see." Cheng Qianfan walked to the bloody prisoner. He wiped the prisoner's swollen face with the white handkerchief in his hand. Then he saw that one of the prisoners' eyes was empty, and their eyes had been dug out. The eyeballs of the other cigarette were also swollen and bleeding due to severe torture.
Cheng Qianfan's heart skipped a beat, and he smiled at Araki, "Araki Jun's personal hand?"
"Transferred from Jisifeier Road." Araki Hatsuma said, "This person is Quanlin. He is an operational staff member of the Shanghai Special Information Group. He was captured by No. 76 in the last time when Xiao Mian led people to rescue Sheng Shuyu."
"Who was caught at that time?" Cheng Qianfan was surprised. "No, I read the newspaper later, which said that the entire Chongqing army was destroyed and all of them were shot dead."
"I just learned the truth." Araki Hatsuma sucked a cigarette and signaled his friend to sit down and talk. "At that time, two Shanghai Special Intelligence Team operators were seriously injured and not dead. The agent headquarters rescued the two seriously injured, but claimed to have all shot dead."
After pausing, Araki Hatsuma said, "It is said that this is Su Chende's plan."
"This strategy..." Cheng Qianfan thought, nodded, "It is indeed beautiful. This Su Chende is indeed capable."
He glanced at his tortured subordinate, and felt like he was being cut by a knife, but his nose was filled with smoke and said lightly, "Is this person helpless?"
As he said that, he frowned slightly, "Is it our previous judgment that was wrong? Was that the other person who asked the little Taoist priest?"
"Not even." Araki Hatsuma shook his head.
He pulled his friend aside, avoided the prisoner, and told Kentaro Miyazaki that Su Chende deliberately set up a trap. He first took some words from Quanda. After Quanda committed suicide, he used the information and photos he had to easily make Quanlin believe that his uncle Quanda had surrendered to the Locust Army.
At the same time, a woman who took care of Quan Lin learned the name "Little Taoist" from Quan Lin's unintentional words.
And then, with the name "Little Taoist" as a clue, he successfully captured the important member of the Shanghai Special Information Group of "Little Taoist".
Cheng Qianfan was surprised, or shocked.
Based on various relevant information, his previous judgment was that some operators were arrested in the rescue of Sheng Shuyu, and then someone betrayed and confessed to the little Taoist priest, which led to the exposure and arrest of the "little Taoist priest".
He never expected that the truth of the matter was like this.
The two captured brothers, Quanda and Quanlin, did not rebel. Quanda committed suicide and died for his country. Quanlin never betrayed him. It was just because he was young and had insufficient experience in fighting, and Su Chende used the situation of the "little Taoist" from his words, and eventually led to the arrest of the "little Taoist".
Quan Lin's naivety and stupidity led to the arrest of the "Little Taoist" which was enough to threaten the safety of the entire Shanghai Special Information Group, which made Cheng Qianfan extremely angry.
However, the young Quanlin, suffering from the continuous inhuman torture of No. 76 and the Special High School, was still steadfast and unyielding, and never confessed a few words. This tenacious will and this loyalty to the country and the nation made Cheng Qianfan feel moved.
...
"So, this person is just a minion from the Shanghai Special Love Group?" Cheng Qianfan walked back to Quan Lin. He looked at the brother who was already like a broken blood gourd on his body, shook his head, and said slightly disappointed.
"Even if it's just a minion, this person should have information that is useful to us." Araki Hatsuma said seriously, "Don't forget that Quan Lin just accidentally said 'little Taoist' and helped Su Chende and the others catch the person."
"It makes sense." Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly, "We know very little about Xiao Mian and the Shanghai Special Information Group. It is always useful to be able to master more information."
As he said that, he showed a look of searching, "Mr. Araki, can you confirm that the 'little Taoist priest' was robbed by the Military Control Commission?"
He said this sentence in Japanese.
Araki Otama suddenly heard Kentaro Miyazaki suddenly spoke in his mother tongue. After hearing these words clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time he praised his friend's vigilance, because the content contained in this sentence should not be allowed to be heard by prisoners, just as he just talked with Kentaro Miyazaki about how Su Chende set a trap and said clichés from Quanlin, but he went away and avoided Quanlin's consideration.
"Although there is no direct evidence yet," said Araki Hiroma, "but both the head of the Section and the side of the Ice Sifier Road tend to be the military commander, or rather, the Shanghai Special Information Group."
As Araki Hatsuma said, sighing. He was very dissatisfied. Such an important criminal was actually kidnapped. He did not catch a prisoner on his side. There was no direct evidence of which part the other party was. He could only rely on reasoning and analysis.
At this moment, Araki Kaoro did not notice it. He drooped his head and blood dripped down his cheeks. All Lin seemed to move.
...
Cheng Qianfan just looked up and spit out the mist. He noticed this detail and sighed in his heart while calmly.
When Cheng Qianfan learned from Araki Kaori that this unparalleled brother who was tortured and tortured was named Quanlin, he had a plan in his mind:
He knew Quanlin and his uncle Quanda.
The leader of the "Xiao Mian" had never met these brothers, but the names of each of them were kept in mind.
In addition, through Qiao Chuntao, Xiao Taoist, Jiang Muzi and others, Cheng Qianfan also understood and mastered more about these brothers.
For example, he knew that Quanda and Quanlin were uncles and nephews.
He knew that Quanda had been to a private school and his handwriting was very good. In fact, he was a very knowledgeable person. He was in trouble and joined the army and served his country with his own power.
He also knew that Quan Lin was a passionate young man with great enthusiasm for anti-Japanese war and was very easy to learn. He thought that speaking Japanese would help anti-Japanese actions, so he learned Japanese by himself. Quan Lin, who was quite talented in language, quickly mastered daily Japanese and even began to try to read Japanese.
This is why Cheng Qianfan deliberately alertly asked Araki Kaori in Japanese. His intention was to "inadvertently" be heard by Quan Lin in this way, so that Quan Lin knew that the leader of their Operation 2 Group "Little Taoist" had been rescued by his brothers.
The only thing he was worried about was that Quan Lin had insufficient Japanese vocabulary, or that he happened to not understand some of the Japanese in his words. Fortunately, Quan Lin knew about Quan Lin's subtle actions, and Quan Lin understood it.
For Quan Lin, his immaturity and stupidity led to the arrest of the team leader "Little Taoist" by the enemy, which must be the biggest pain in the heart of this strong anti-Japanese warrior.
Now, Quan Lin knew that the "little Taoist priest" was rescued, which was the greatest comfort in his heart, or it was enough to comfort him!
Cheng Qianfan grabbed Quan Lin's blood-stained hair, and his cold face squeezed out a cold smile, "You are just a minion, say it, money, women, can satisfy you any requirement."
Quan Lin tried his best to open the swollen and bloody eyeballs, and the hollowed-out eye sockets seemed to be staring at the traitor in front of him.
A smile rose from the corner of his mouth.
It seems to be so.
Because I am like a blood gourd, I can't see it clearly even if I have a smile.
However, Cheng Qianfan could feel the contemptuous smell.
Pooh!
He spat a mouthful of blood on Cheng Qianfan's face.
