"Liang Yuchun." Cheng Qianfan nodded thoughtfully. His relationship with Liang Yuchun had publicly deteriorated. Liang had suffered a loss and lost face before, so naturally he was unwilling to accept it. He had already expected this.
In addition, Cheng Qianfan was relieved to learn that it was Liang Yuchun's people who secretly eavesdropped and investigated him.
He and Liang Yuchun belong to the category of "personal grudges".
What he is most worried about is the Party Affairs Investigation Department, the Shanghai Station, or the Japanese side secretly following and eavesdropping. If so, it means that he has entered a certain party's key suspect list.
Especially since he had just used some tricks to get rid of the Party Affairs Investigation Office's tracking. If the Party Affairs Investigation Office gives up openly and is still investigating him secretly, it means that the situation is already not good.
"What did he check on me for?" Cheng Qianfan asked Lao Huang.
"You should be investigated for corruption and malfeasance," Lao Huang said.
Cheng Qianfan snorted. This was what he expected. Although the French Concession was full of smog and corruption was rife, it was still acceptable on the surface. If Liang Yuchun really got hold of his corruption and malfeasance,
The irrefutable evidence is not a big or small trouble for him.
"Also, Liang Yuchun plans to expose to the newspaper that you are lecherous, toying with, and dominating women of the new era." Huang said, holding back his laughter.
Cheng Qianfan knew what Lao Huang was laughing about.
In fact, he himself was behind all the rumors about Inspector Xiao Cheng's lust.
Especially the rumors about his ambiguous relationship with Xiao Hong, a Kunqu opera girl from Yu Chunxi, are all sexy news secretly released by someone arranged by Cheng Qianfan.
As the person involved, Xiao Hong will not clarify it. For Xiao Hong, although this misunderstanding damages her reputation, it is not a talisman. Since she hooked up with Inspector Xiao Cheng, those who coveted her beauty
The monsters and monsters all disappeared.
Besides, Cheng Qianfan occasionally showed interest in Xiaohong deliberately. This girl might not have thought about her ambition to be the concubine of Inspector Xiao Cheng.
Cheng Qianfan did not deny, refute or admit such rumors.
If someone mentions it in front of him, he will get angry and curse.
Although Liang Yuchun arranged for people to follow and eavesdrop just because of "personal grudges" and had no political background or secret service factors, this would obviously bring a lot of inconvenience and safety risks to Cheng Qianfan's work.
"This old Liang is forcing me to do something." Cheng Qianfan said with a sneer, remembering that when he was in the conference room before, Liang Yuchun was still thinking about tricking him, and he felt even more unhappy.
"Inspector Cheng, remember to take your medicine on time." Lao Huang raised his voice and said.
"I understand." Cheng Qianfan took the medicine prescribed by Lao Huang and left the medical room.
After leaving the door, Cheng Qianfan stopped and pointed inside the house, "You really didn't eat that dog?"
"I really haven't eaten. If I did, I wouldn't have any wine to drink." Lao Huang cursed and swore.
Hearing that Old Huang actually swore such a poisonous oath, Inspector Xiao Cheng was amazed and nodded, temporarily believing in Old Huang's 'innocence'.
…
French Concession, No. 180, Huageni Road.
This is the famous Du Mansion in Shanghai.
The building in front of the mansion is a Chinese-style two-story Shikumen building.
The second floor is occupied by Ms. Shen, Du Yongsheng's first wife.
She did not have any children, but later adopted a son. Because his career prospered after adopting him, Du Yongsheng regarded the son as his own and loved him very much.
The building at the back is a Western-style building, with the ground floor used as offices, accounting rooms, and a large dining room.
The second floor is for the second wife, Ms. Chen.
The third floor is for the third wife, Ms. Sun.
Because Du Yongsheng later married the fourth wife without telling Ms. Sun, Ms. Sun left Shanghai in anger.
Shanghai residents are quite interested in Boss Du's romantic affair, and have reported it in newspapers. There has even been heated discussion about whether Ms. Meng will move into the third floor of the building behind Du Mansion.
This made Du Yongsheng furious. He sent people to destroy the newspaper office and warned the reporters who made up the nonsense.
Soon, the news spread all over Shanghai. The reason for Du Yongsheng's rage was that Ms. Meng couldn't stand these gossips, so she left Shanghai and went to Peking.
At this moment, the building behind the Du Mansion was heavily guarded. There were gang members dressed in shorts and wearing horse tags on their belts, alert observers all around, and bodyguards leading big wolf dogs around.
"Mr. Du, Yu Jin has been disturbing you a lot these days." Dai Chunfeng said apologetically.
Du Yongsheng secretly arranged for the second wife and the fourth wife to live in the front building, and the back building was specially set aside for Dai Chunfeng to live in, also for the purpose of confidentiality.
"Mr. Dai, there is no need to be polite. It is Du's duty to do his part in the fight against Japan." Du Yongsheng spoke politely, which was quite inconsistent with his reputation and rumors in the outside world.
The two of them chatted for a while and talked happily. There was no trace of the tension between the two of them over the military command authority of the Rangers.
Du Yongsheng said goodbye and left, and the two agreed that for safety reasons, when Dai Chunfeng left secretly tomorrow morning, Du Yongsheng would not see each other off.
Today is an early farewell.
Dai Chunfeng was sitting on the sofa, staring at the night outside the window, seeming to be thinking about something.
The night wind rustled the leaves.
got windy.
"Report." A report came, interrupting Dai Chunfeng's thoughts.
"What's the matter?" Dai Chunfeng asked.
"Qiqiaohua sent a secret message, Nishida Masao has probably sneaked into Shanghai." Sheng Shuyu reported with the message in hand.
"Masao Nishida!" Dai Chunfeng's expression changed. He stood up from the sofa, grabbed the message and read it carefully.
"Xitian!" He slapped the message on the table. In his excitement, his expression was even ferocious, "Okay, Xitian, we finally meet again!"
"Call me back to ask for help." Dai Chunfeng said in a deep voice, "Is there any more accurate information about Xi Tian's visit to Shanghai? I hope to confirm it again, but we put safety first and act according to the situation."
"yes!"
Sheng Shuyu closed the folder and went to a room on the second floor to send the report.
An hour later, Dai Chunfeng sent someone to inform Du Yongsheng that he was leaving Du's mansion immediately and thanked Du Yongsheng for his hospitality over the past two days.
Soon, six cars drove away from Du Mansion. After driving for a certain distance, the six cars split into three groups and disappeared into the night.
"Virgo, we have escaped tracking." Sheng Shuyu, who was driving the vehicle, said.
"Go to Miles Ai Road." Dai Chunfeng said in a deep voice.
"clear."
Meyer West Road is the secret base of the Shanghai Station of the Secret Service.
…
The next day.
It's a rainy day.
Li Hao came to Yandeli early and had breakfast at Brother Fan's house.
"Brother Fan, the rain is too heavy." Li Hao said loudly.
"Drive slowly." Cheng Qianfan glanced out the car window, seeing a heavy rainstorm.
The rainstorm came suddenly and beyond everyone's expectation.
Arriving at Xue Huali Road, Li Hao parked the car in the courtyard of the patrol house.
He turned off the engine, quickly ran out of the car, held up a black umbrella, and escorted Cheng Qianfan into the arresting hall.
"Inspector!"
"Inspector!"
"Inspector!"
In the busy arrest hall, all the patrol officers put down their Pai Gow, dice, and documents, stood up, and stood at attention to salute.
Cheng Qianfan looked serious, nodded slightly, and walked quickly to his office.
At this moment, on the third floor of a three-story building more than a hundred steps away from the central patrol room, a middle-aged man of medium height, slightly stout, with small eyes and gold-rimmed glasses was standing by the window, looking at
Rainwater flows down from the eaves like pillars.
"They all say that the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, but I have no chance to see it." The middle-aged man sighed.
"The empire will soon occupy Shanghai, the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the entire China. From now on, you can enjoy the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River on the Huangpu River, or you can go boating on the Xuanwu Lake to enjoy it." Sanbonjiro said with a smile.
The middle-aged man shook his head, "This rainstorm came at the wrong time."
"Yes, heavy rain will definitely affect the fighting of the imperial warriors, but this kind of weather is difficult for us, and it is even more difficult for the Chinese soldiers." Sanbonjiro said, "Although they are fighting locally, their logistical supplies are far inferior to us.
"
The middle-aged man nodded.
"After the empire takes over Shanghai, the concession will inevitably become a hiding place for Chinese resistance forces. We must keep the concession, especially the French Concession, in our hands," said the middle-aged man.
"What you said is very true. Maybe there is someone who can play an unexpected role." After hearing this, Sanbonjiro said with a smile on his face.
