Cheng Qianfan drove the car with the window halfway down, and the cold wind blew in and swept his face.
Crunch!
A sudden brake.
The car stopped on the side of the road.
Cheng Qianfan got out of the car.
The street lights are a little dim.
People returning late passed by in a hurry.
A car drove by and dropped half an apple. A little beggar flew up to catch it like a fish, showing a surprised smile.
Then, he looked around cautiously, put the apple in his pocket, and ran into the alley deep in the night.
A young woman who looked like a student walked by in a hurry.
Cheng Qianfan looked at her back.
His eyes were lowered.
"I'm sorry, sister." He said in his heart.
The pain in his heart was severe.
Without protecting you, you will not be able to rest in peace even after your tragic death!
sorry!
…
"One more bowl." Cheng Qianfan wiped his mouth, sighed happily, and handed the porcelain bowl to Bai Ruolan.
Seeing Cheng Qianfan eating happily, Bai Ruolan was filled with joy.
Another night I ate preserved egg and thin meat porridge.
While Bai Ruolan was washing the dishes, Cheng Qianfan leaned against the kitchen door frame and looked at his wife with warm eyes.
The two chatted casually, talking about Xiaobao's homework results and interesting things about the two of them in the nursing home when they were young.
The light of the incandescent lamp was projected down and shone on the two people's bodies, casting a touch of warmth.
Return to the study.
Cheng Qianfan calmed down and thought about things.
He was thinking about the conversation he had with Sanbonjiro in the evening.
His intuition told him that Sanbonjiro had long known about He Guan's return to Shanghai, followed and investigated He Guan, and may even have followed up and investigated Jin Kemu. There must be someone behind it.
When he asked Sanbonjiro about who was behind the Annan patrol to investigate, Sanbonjiro did not answer.
Instead, they turned to talk to him about the action taken by the Super High School Division against the Party Affairs Investigation Office.
Sanbonjiro really didn't need to answer his subordinate's questions, so there was no problem with this turn of events.
However, he then tentatively mentioned whether Ttech would take action against Qin Detai.
Sanbonjiro said that it was temporarily suitable to take action against Qin Detai, and also mentioned that in order to take action against Qin Detai, he must first remove Qin Detai from the position of chief inspector of the Central Patrol Room.
When Cheng Qianfan heard Sanbonjiro's unintentional words, he immediately made a guess:
He understood Sanbonjiro's character. This person always made decisions before taking action. Sanbon's words mentioned that he wanted to remove Tan Detai from his position as chief inspector, which showed that it was very likely that Sanbonjiro was already taking action.
Tracking He Guan is part of the action against Qin Detai.
…
Yes, it seems that He Guan is being followed, and it is Jin Kemu who is implicated.
However, Cheng Qianfan believed that this was a signal that the Japanese wanted to attack Tan Detai.
It is actually not difficult to attack Tan Detai, as long as the Japanese side provides the evidence that Qin Detai is the deputy director of the Shanghai District of the National Party Affairs Investigation Office, such as the confessions of the Party Affairs Investigation Office personnel arrested by the Special Higher Education Section to the French Concession, Qin Detai's
The position of chief inspector cannot be kept.
The reason why the Japanese did not provide this evidence to the French Concession.
What they were worried about was Jin Kemu.
Once Qin Detai is dismissed.
The person most likely to succeed Qin Detai as the chief inspector of the Central Police Station is the current deputy chief inspector Jin Kemu.
Jin Kemu, on the other hand, has always behaved in a more hostile manner.
This is what the Japanese do not want to see.
With Qin Detai resigning, there will inevitably be competition for the position of Inspector General.
However, this is an emergency situation.
It is estimated that many people will not have time to act. Then, the Japanese side has been prepared. They have caught everyone off guard and will actively mobilize pro-Japanese elements who are qualified to serve as the inspector of the Central Police Station to win this position.
Cheng Qianfan speculated that Sanbonjiro's intention was to get rid of Qin Detai's position as chief inspector and suddenly force himself to get rid of Jin Kemu's deputy chief inspector, or at least to cause Jin Kemu to lose his bid for the central patrol office.
Qualifications for the position of Chief Inspector.
As for the current Jin Kemu, he has no idea that Qin Detai will be deposed by the Japanese, so he cannot see the situation behind it for a while.
If Jin Kemu knew about Qin Detai's affairs, Jin Kemu would be able to guess a few clues with his shrewdness and sophistication.
Cheng Qianfan tapped his index finger lightly on the table.
Although it is just his unilateral speculation, the entire chain is very clear and is a relatively reasonable guess.
So, who will the Japanese choose to replace Tan Detai as the chief inspector of the Central Police Station?
Several names flashed through his mind.
The chief inspectors and deputy chief inspectors of other district patrol houses have the best chance of getting involved in the position of chief inspector of the central patrol house.
Petain district?
Xiafei District?
Mailan District?
In addition, you are still thinking about whether you should secretly send a message to Jin Kemu through some channel?
After all, having Jin Kemu, a person with a tough attitude towards Japan, in the Central District was extremely useful. He could secretly operate through Jin Kemu for many things that Cheng Qianfan was not suitable to do.
Suddenly, Cheng Qianfan thought of a possibility.
The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was feasible.
In other words, this possibility and the huge gains it brings are extremely attractive to him.
…
night.
In the dark night sky, stars twinkled.
The dog barked first.
Soon, the dog stopped whining.
Li Aquan, his mother-in-law, and children were awakened.
The mother-in-law was so frightened that she hugged the child tightly and hid in the corner, shaking like chaff.
Li Aquan gently got out of bed and came to the window. With his fingers stained with saliva, he gently poked the window paper and leaned over to take a look.
I saw silhouettes of people shaking outside, and groups of people moving quietly in the dark, passing by the window in formation.
It’s over!
Li Aquan was frightened.
He quickly ran to the stove and spread a handful of pot ashes on the faces of his mother-in-law and daughter.
Then he found a machete in the dark and held it firmly in his hand.
The village is next to the main road leading to the county seat, and there have been constant wars over the years.
Every time there is a war, it is a disaster for ordinary people.
Besides soldiers, the most numerous people are bandits.
Japanese soldiers came again.
The Japanese are not human beings. They set fire to houses and kill people. His eleven-year-old girl came back from cutting firewood at the end of last year and met Japanese soldiers...
Li Aquan's wrists were stiff and his body was stiff. He was worried that his home would be broken into at some point.
After a pack of cigarettes, there was no movement outside.
He dared to go to the window and look over, but there was no one outside.
Li Aquan rubbed his eyes and looked again, but there was still no one.
He didn't dare to open the door and look.
The family hid in the house and didn't know when they fell asleep.
Its daybreak.
Li Ahquan opened the door and looked, and saw his neighbors who were just as doubtful as him.
The street is very quiet.
No one was harmed.
No cattle or sheep were taken away.
Not a single house was burned.
Nothing is missing.
Even the half-bag of rice bran that a neighbor left out to dry in the house was still there.
Everyone looked at each other and asked each other, "Did we really go to war last night?"
what is that?
Someone shouted.
Only then did everyone notice that there were writings on many walls.
Li Aquan was proficient in writing, so everyone asked him to read it out.
"Down with Japanese imperialism!"
"Swear to the death and not be a slave to the country's subjugation!"
"Fight to the end!"
"Long live the Chinese nation!"
And ‘kill the devils’.
Li Aquan could see that the three characters "kill the Japanese" were different from the other characters. The characters were ugly, as if they were written by an illiterate person, but the characters were very large, and the strokes were like being carved with a knife.
"General" is very blunt. If you write such words in school, you will be slapped on the palm by the teacher.
"Who wrote this?" someone asked.
"It's the New Fourth Army!" Li Aquan said. He pointed to the words behind these words, which were all signed, saying "New Fourth Army"!
"Who are the New Fourth Army?" someone asked again.
Li Ahquan shook his head, he didn't know either.
"He must be a good soldier, right?" he asked in his mind.
Then this question mark turned into an exclamation point in his heart. No people were killed, no houses were burned, no food was robbed, no animals were captured, and no women were raped. This is not a good soldier!
