The car stopped at a relatively hidden alley on Hankou Road.
Cheng Qianfan got off the car.
After entering the alley, he took out the key and opened the door of a house, walked through the yard, exited through the back door, and arrived at another street.
At the end of the street, there is a simple carport with a black Austin sedan parked in the carport.
"Chief Cheng." A lame old man nodded and bowed.
Cheng Qianfan handed over a two-yuan legal tender and said, "Drink less wine."
"There is no choice, the old man is just fine." The lame old man said with a smile.
Cheng Qianfan opened the car door, fired the keys and started the car.
Before he was about to leave, he rolled down the car window, opened the glove box, took out a pack of three cannons, and threw it to the lame old man, "Save it a little bit."
The lame old man thanked him so much, and Cheng Qianfan drove away.
The streets are bustling.
The fall of the distant north, Peiping and Tianjin does not seem to have brought too intuitive impact and influence to the largest city in the Far East.
Cheng Qianfan drove along the way, crossed several streets, and stopped by the roadside under the shade of a tree.
I lit a cigarette and took a sip. The breath of tobacco entered from the nose and trachea, flowing in the lungs, and at the same time stimulated the brain and made his tired mind clear.
He was thinking about what Haozi said.
...
The 'self-righteous' Japanese.
He used the word again.
Even if Qiao Chuntao did not confirm that this "little girl" was a Japanese dwarf through his wrist tattoo, Cheng Qianfan could still judge that the little girl was having a problem.
A little girl who was almost insulted by Japanese ronin did not quickly escape, but appeared again near the scene of the incident, and was named looking for a "savior".
Cheng Qianfan’s feeling is that sometimes the Japanese are cunning and extremely insidious, but sometimes they are so self-righteous. They think that they are considering perfectly, but in fact they are extremely stupid and treat others as fools.
What Cheng Qianfan is now thinking about is why this Japanese female dwarf is looking for Qiao Chuntao and Jiang Laosan.
This behavior does not conform to Cheng Qianfan's previous analysis of this matter.
Previously, his and Qiao Chuntao analyzed the matter. Whether it was the Japanese ronin who deliberately designed a trap to lure and kill his anti-Japanese compatriots, or the Japanese military attempted to use traps to create friction, both of these behaviors have one characteristic:
Randomness!
They don't care who is the one who takes the bait.
Based on this judgment, even if Qiao Chuntao and Jiang Laosan successfully escaped, the Japanese side actually wouldn't care too much.
On the contrary, not only will they not continue to search and hunt, but they will also deliberately press on this matter to avoid spreading it so as not to affect their continued "fishing".
Therefore, Cheng Qianfan was very surprised to hear that the "little girl" was not only not hiding, but was actually looking for the "savior".
This is a very abnormal situation.
What is the purpose of the Japanese doing this?
...
Cheng Qianfan threw the cigarette butt out the window and pulled out a cigarette. He did not light it, but played with it in his hands.
The current situation was completely beyond his expectations.
The most likely explanation is that both of his previous inferences were wrong.
The Japanese's actions were directed to "seeking people" from the beginning, or it could be said that they came for Qiao Chuntao and Jiang Laosan.
At the beginning, they were fishing for two fish, Qiao Chuntao and Jiang Laosan.
With this guess, Cheng Qianfan's idea immediately opened up.
Before Qiao Chuntao was injured, his and Jiang Laosan's mission was to secretly monitor Inoue Mansion.
The previous guesses were like a messy ball of thread.
Now, the thoughts in his mind became clearer and clearer, as if there was a main line. With one pick, he strung these scattered balls together:
This Japanese female dwarf and those Japanese ronin, their true identity is most likely to be the jit of Inoue Mansion.
They found that the mansion was being monitored, but there was no way to lock the monitor, so they adopted this method to "fish".
In this way, everything has been straightened out.
Although it was just a guess, Cheng Qianfan was 70% sure.
...
Wearing a hat and covering it up, Cheng Qianfan waded to the entrance of Yang Changnian's clinic and saw Yang Changnian digging water out of the washbasin.
In the afternoon, heavy rain suddenly fell in Shanghai.
Although it only takes less than an hour, the rainfall is quite large.
"Have you been exposed to water?" Cheng Qianfan entered the clinic, and didn't care that the stool was wet. He sat down and handed Yang Changnian a cigarette.
"This land is a depression, and a toad can suffer disasters even if it urinates." Yang Changnian took the cigarette handed over by the team leader, lit it, and took a happy sip.
"How long does it take for Taozi's injury to heal?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"It will take at least one month," said Yang Changnian.
"You go to Jiang Muzi tonight and tell him to arrange for Jiang Laosan and Jiang Laosi to go to Qiao Chuntao's place and tell Taozi and others that they are not allowed to go out soon without my order. At the same time, they should strengthen their vigilance." Cheng Qianfan said.
"Team leader, what happened?" Yang Changnian asked immediately.
"Qiao Chuntao and Jiang Laosan were targeted, and that Japanese female dwarf was looking for them." When Cheng Qianfan was talking, he could see a child outside the door sitting in a wooden basin rowing and playing.
He threw the cigarette butt into the water and continued, "I guess it was Inoue Mansion that found it under surveillance and took counterattack measures. The affairs of the Japanese female dwarf and the Japanese ronin were themselves traps for them."
"So, be careful about everything recently."
"yes!"
"Doctor Yang, how many tablets of this medicine do you prescribe at a time?" Cheng Qianfan stood up and asked.
"Two times a day, two pieces at a time." Yang Changnian understood and wrapped it in small white paper. "Sir, take it, don't get it in water."
Pills are tablets for stomach-enhancing and digestion, and are commonly used in home use.
"I know." Cheng Qianfan went out the door, and seemed to be quite careful to pick up the pills wrapped in white paper and glanced at them, then stuffed them into his pocket and wade away.
Unless it is a sudden situation similar to the previous injury of Qiao Chuntao, Cheng Qianfan is now trying his best to avoid excessive frequent contact with other subordinates.
If there are orders that need to be conveyed, he will convey them through Li Hao, Haozai, or Yang all year round.
Needless to say, Li Hao and Haozai are his confidants.
Yang Changnian was chosen because he was a doctor and a doctor with a relatively well-known medical skills.
This profession is very good, and no one comes here to arouse too much suspicion.
Similarly, the doctor's identity also made Yang Changnian more free to move, and he could go out in the name of practicing medicine.
...
Honolulu Road.
Cheng Qianfan came to the door of Huiya Bookstore, pretending to smoke, and secretly placed the information in an abandoned mailbox next to the telephone pole.
The government formally submitted a request to the French Concession authorities to extradite Liu Bo this day and morning.
