"Director, as you said, there are indeed many coincidences, and so many coincidences are not normal in themselves." Dong Zhengguo thought for a while and said, "However, if the director asks his subordinates what they think, the subordinate's answer is
, Cheng Qianfan should be fine."
"Oh?" Li Cuiqun glanced at Dong Zhengguo in surprise, showing satisfaction, "Tell me your reasons."
The ‘first officer’ of the Central Command assassinated Cheng Qianfan, and Dong Zhengguo almost died at the hands of Cheng Qianfan. Therefore, Dong Zhengguo and Cheng Qianfan were actually a life-or-death enemy.
However, Dong Zhengguo was able to put aside his selfishness and analyze problems more objectively. This is one of the reasons why Li Cuiqun admired Dong Zhengguo.
"My subordinates sent people to investigate near the Grand Guangming Theater and found a girl selling movie posters on the street. According to the girl, she recommended "Shanghai Sixty Years Later" to Xiaobao, Cheng Qianfan's adopted sister.
Cheng Qianfan had no intention of watching the movie "Beach". Xiaobao told her that her classmates had seen the movie and showed it off at school, so she really wanted to watch the movie." Dong Zhengguo said, "In this case, Cheng
Only Qianfan would take Xiaobao to watch a movie."
Li Cuiqun nodded slightly, "Not bad, very careful."
Dong Zhengguo's discovery meant that Cheng Qianfan's appearance at the Grand Guangming Theater watching a movie was a normal coincidence and not suspicious.
"As for what happened today, even if it is finally confirmed that one of Kang Xuefeng and Lu Shifan is problematic, they are both pretending to be Cheng Qianfan's subordinates. The responsibility for this also lies with the impostors.
It is really difficult to infer that there is something wrong with Cheng Qianfan." Dong Zhengguo continued, "My subordinates are also thinking about the connection, and now they have some clues."
"Let's talk about it." Li Cuiqun threw a cigarette to Dong Zhengguo.
Dong Zhengguo took it with both hands, took out the cigarette holder from his pocket, put the cigarette away, and then continued, "Of all the departments in the patrol room of the French Concession, who is the most arrogant and domineering, naturally it is Cheng Qianfan's men."
"I pretended to be Cheng Qianfan's subordinate and deliberately behaved arrogantly, so as to avoid too many inquiries and suspicions." Dong Zhengguo said, "My subordinates judged that this is the reason why the military commanders chose to pretend to be Cheng Qianfan's subordinate."
"That makes sense." Li Cuiqun nodded slightly.
Out of professional sensitivity and habits, he subconsciously had some doubts about the junior student. After all, there were so many coincidences in Cheng Qianfan's body, so he naturally had to be suspicious.
Now that he heard Dong Zhengguo's objective analysis, Li Cuiqun's suspicion of Cheng Qianfan became less intense.
"Now we have Xi Guanpi and Jiang Yanfeng on our hands. Even if these two people are indeed not members of the military, they are just pretending to be Cheng Xuyuan under Tu Helin's orders, but why did Tu Helin do this?" Li Cuiqun said thoughtfully, "This point
Have you ever thought about it?"
"Tu Helin was recruited by the military commander?" Dong Zhengguo thought for a while and said. "In other words, Tu Helin was originally a member of the military commander."
"We will investigate slowly in the follow-up." Li Cuiqun said with a serious expression, "Just talking about today's matter, Tu and Lin must be Chongqing elements."
He looked at Dong Zhengguo and said, "Sternly interrogate Xi Guanpi and Jiang Yanfeng, and find traces of Tu and Lin from their mouths."
Li Cuiqun's lips raised a smile, "If something happened to Cheng Xuyuan, Chen Gongshu must be vigilant. He will cut off the connection between the district headquarters and non-essential field units. In this case, since Tu Helin can participate
During the military reunification operation in Shanghai District to rescue Cheng Xuyuan, this shows that Tu Helin was highly valued and trusted by Chen Gongshu and was able to maintain contact with the Shanghai District Headquarters under extraordinary circumstances."
"My subordinates understand. Through the confessions of Xi Guanpi and Jiang Yanfeng, we can find out Tu Helin, and then follow the clues. We hope to catch Chen Gongshu by his pigtails, and even catch Cheng Xuyuan, a fish that slipped through the net." Dong Zhengguo's eyes were filled with excitement.
He said with excitement.
"You should keep an eye on this matter yourself," Li Cuiqun said.
"yes!"
After Dong Zhengguo left, Li Cuiqun just stood behind the table, his eyes roving back and forth on the map on the table:
Robertson Road, Betel Road, Gein Lane, Fansandu Road, Jisi Feier Road, and then continuing to the northwest is Caojia Ferry.
This area is not too big. No. 76's operation this time has tightened the encirclement as much as possible and tried to eliminate blind spots. However, it still allowed Cheng Xuyuan to escape.
This made Li Cuiqun quite annoyed.
What exactly is the problem?
His current focus is not even on how Cheng Xuyuan escaped. What he doesn't understand the most is how Cheng Xuyuan learned that Wan Sanliang had a problem, or in other words, how Cheng Xuyuan knew that the Cheese Cafe on Robertson Road was
Trap.
Or, based on the feedback from the on-site investigation and review, Li Cuiqun is almost certain that the woman deliberately used the three-light code to snatch the wallet, and then used it to create chaos, thereby achieving the purpose of warning Cheng Xuyuan.
The key now is, how did the woman know that this was a trap?
Where did the news leak out?
This is what Li Cuiqun attaches most importance to and is concerned about right now.
As Li Cuiqun thought hard, he was surprised to find that he had found another reason to clear out the suspicion of the junior student who "seemed to be everywhere":
Although Cheng Xuyuan escaped, this person still took the initiative to invite Wan Sanliang to meet at the Cheese Cafe on Robertson Road yesterday after he failed to make an appointment at Guangming Cafe on Jing'an Temple Road. This in itself means that Cheng Xuyuan failed to make an appointment at Guangming Cafe.
, maybe not because he noticed anything, but because he made a careful choice after encountering the porcelain incident.
This, on the contrary, strongly proves that Cheng Xuyuan's appointment at Guangming Cafe was an accident and had nothing to do with Cheng Qianfan.
Li Cuiqun shook his head.
He always had the feeling that he could see through this student from East Asia Tongwen College, but at the same time seemed a little unable to see through.
Among them, the reason why Li Cuiqun secretly doubts and pays attention to Cheng Qianfan is precisely because this kind of chance encounter will make him suspicious, but he can always quickly eliminate the suspicion.
This feeling will be strange to any spy worker, and he will subconsciously pay attention to this person again at a certain moment.
…
Chen Gongshu finally believed the fact that Wan Sanliang had defected to the enemy and treason.
The reason is simple and direct:
Jiang Feiqi took people to the location of the Fourth Operation Brigade, but failed to contact the brothers of the Fourth Operation Brigade.
Or, to be more precise, the station of the Fourth Operation Brigade was empty.
The landlord told Jiang Feiqi that the tenant had quit the rent and moved out two days ago.
In addition, there is another detail. The landlord cursed and said that after the tenant checked out and left, he accidentally discovered that some furniture had been damaged.
After receiving Jiang Feiqi's report, Chen Gongshu had to accept that Wan Sanliang had become a traitor and that something had happened to the Fourth Brigade of his operation:
The rental locations of each field unit were decided by Chen Gongshu. Without the approval of him, the head of Shanghai District, ministries are never allowed to change locations privately. Even if there is a hasty evacuation in case of emergency, they will inevitably evacuate to the district through the transportation station as soon as possible.
Report the situation from this department.
The Fourth Operation Brigade disappeared from the rental area without saying a word, which is enough to explain everything.
In addition, the details of the damage to the furniture in the rental area mentioned in Jiang Feiqi's report also led Chen Gongshu to further speculate on the inside story of the disappearance of the Fourth Operation Brigade:
Wan Sanliang became a traitor and sold out the brothers of the Fourth Operation Brigade. Some brothers were unwilling to accompany Wan Sanliang to become a traitor, so a fight broke out in the rental area, which was the reason why some furniture was damaged.
"Brother Cheng, Wan Sanliang has surrendered to the enemy. This guy doesn't know me, but he knows you." Chen Gongshu looked at Cheng Xuyuan and said with a serious expression, "You can no longer work in Shanghai."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Chen Gongshu, and from the bottom of his heart, he should be happy to be able to evacuate the Shanghai front line where the struggle situation was the most complex, bloody and cruel.
In fact, before Wang Tiemu and Chen Mingchu rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, Zheng Lijun was forced to evacuate Shanghai, but the Chongqing Bureau headquarters asked him to stick to Shanghai again, which made Cheng Xuyuan a little unhappy.
However, now that he heard Chen Gongshu talking about evacuating Shanghai, Cheng Xuyuan was not as happy as he originally thought.
Cheng Xuyuan's first reaction was that he had previously refused to disclose the source of the intelligence, which aroused Chen Gongshu's dissatisfaction and vigilance. It was precisely because of this that Chen Gongshu took action decisively and used such a very reasonable reason to squeeze him out of Shanghai.
This was also the problem. Chen Gongshu's reasons were very reasonable. He could not refuse, both emotionally and rationally, and in both public and private matters. On the contrary, he should be grateful to Chen Gongshu for being able to evacuate Shanghai, where work was most dangerous behind enemy lines.
"Thank you for your concern." Cheng Xuyuan nodded and said, "After such a thing happened, it is indeed not suitable for me to stay in Shanghai."
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan speak like this, Chen Gongshu smiled and nodded, "During this period, you, your sister-in-law, and your children will live in seclusion. When the limelight passes, I will arrange for you to evacuate Shanghai."
…
Qimin Hospital.
This is a rare sunny weather.
Colleagues at No. 76 Jisi Feier Road failed in their arrest operation against Shanghai District Secretary Cheng Xuyuan. This incident did not affect Cao Yu, who was recuperating in Qimin Hospital.
He heard about this from Yin Peng, who came to visit him in the hospital half a month later.
"Why did you let Cheng Xuyuan escape?" Cao Yu felt regretful and kept sighing, "This is a big fish."
He said to Yin Peng, "A high-ranking official like Cheng Xuyuan will probably not be punished, so he has to speak up."
As he said that, he picked up the cup and took a sip of the honey water. He clicked his tongue again and sighed, "What a great opportunity."
At this time, Nurse Li came to the ward to change his dressing.
"It's almost healed, and I should be able to leave the hospital in the next two days." Li Tongyun helped Cao Yu change the medicine and re-bandage the wound, and said.
"That's a good relationship." Cao Yu said with a smile, "I'm afraid if I stay in the hospital any longer, my bones will get rusty."
With that said, Cao Yu asked Yin Peng to take out a small bag of nougat from the cabinet door under the bedside table, "Nurse Li, I've been suffering from acidosis after eating toffee for the past two days. I really can't eat it. Could you please help me get rid of it."
"I'm so embarrassed." Li Tongyun rubbed his hands on the hem of the nurse's uniform and said no, but he couldn't bear to look away from the nougat.
"Don't let this thing go bad, just think of it as doing me a favor." Cao Yu said with a smile, "It's not good to waste it."
"Okay then." Li Tongyun showed a reluctant expression, but quickly took the brown paper bag from Cao Yu's hand. Then she looked around, and then lowered her voice and said to Cao Yu, "Second Disease
A boss came to the district and he was very cruel, and no one was willing to change his medicine."
"Do you know which army he is from?" Cao Yu asked, staring at Nurse Li's eyes.
"Then how do we know?" Li Tongyun shook his head, "I don't dare to ask around."
"Thank you." Cao Yu nodded and said with a smile.
When Nurse Li happily left with the nougat paper bag, Yin Peng reluctantly said, "Team leader, the nougat won't go bad if you keep it for a while."
He has long been greedy for the candies and pastries on the team leader's bedside table.
"You know nothing." Cao Yu glared at Yin Peng.
Yin Peng pursed his lips and said no more. He knew everything, but he just didn't want to part with it. In his mind, the good things the team leader couldn't finish eating were already named Yin.
"Who is that guy in the second ward?" Cao Yu asked.
"I don't know." Yin Peng shook his head, "But I have also heard that there is a guy like this who screamed and scolded several nurses when he was applying medicine."
As he said that, he looked at the bee water that Cao Yu put on the bedside table and asked in a low voice, "Team leader, do you want me to go find out about it."
"Forget it." Cao Yu shook his head, "My purpose is to find out the suspicious person from the nurse's mouth. I don't need to pay attention to this guy who is one of my own at first sight."
He waved his hand and signaled his men to go out, and Cao Yu took a nap with his head covered.
His eyes were closed under the quilt, but his heart was like waves rolling.
Just now, he deliberately handed the brown paper bag to Nurse Li just to verify:
He noticed that there was some powdery substance on Nurse Li's cuffs. It was a very small piece. If you didn't have good eyesight and observed carefully, you wouldn't have noticed it.
When Nurse Li reached out to take the brown paper bag, Cao Yu saw it clearly.
And taking the opportunity of handing over the brown paper bag, he touched Nurse Li's cuff with his own cuff, and successfully rubbed the fine powder onto his cuff.
Then, Cao Yu just sniffed his sleeves.
His nose was very sensitive. Even though he only touched a very fine powder, Cao Yu was still 70 to 80% sure that the powder was:
Sulfonamide powder!
It doesn't seem too strange for a surgical nurse to come across sulfonamide powder.
However, Cao Yu had already secretly mastered the working areas and schedules of the nurses in the surgical wards through secret observation and talking to many nurses.
Nurse Li has been working in the eastern half of the ward for the past two days. As far as he knows, there was only one operation in the eastern half of the first ward the day before yesterday. The hospital specially approved the use of sulfa powder. There were no injured patients yesterday and today.
Use sulfonamide powder.
Nurse Li's nurse uniform is very new. If you smell it gently, you can still smell the aroma of honey locust. This is the clean nurse uniform that she just changed into this morning.
In other words, the sulfa powder rubbed on Nurse Li's sleeve must have been recently rubbed today.
In the eyes of people like Cao Yu, this discovery is almost equivalent to many doubts being opened and many secrets about to be solved——
Combining all his previous hidden discoveries and guesses, at this moment, he almost instantly remembered the 'little Taoist priest' who had been rescued, encountered No. 76 and the military police, and was hunted by the police, but had never disappeared...
