Chapter 1641 Cao Yu’s Discovery
"Yes, yes, yes." Duan Wuyang breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "I'll continue to think about it when I get back. If I think of any useful clues, I'll come to see you."
"Didn't I tell you that I'll be the one to judge whether the clues are useful or not?" Cao Yu said unhappily, "If you think of anything, even if it's just a tiny clue or something insignificant, come to me."
"Yes, yes, yes." Duan Wuyang stood up and offered Cao Yu a cigarette, then struck a match and lit it for him. "I'll report to Team Leader Cao as soon as I think of anything."
"Brother Duan is a smart man. Luo Yannian is a wanted criminal of the Red Party. I have set my sights on this old fellow." Cao Yu looked at Duan Wuyang and said with a serious expression, "After you go back, you should know what to say and what not to say."
"I understand, I understand." Duan Wuyang said quickly. He understood that Cao Yu was secretly investigating the matter. He was planning to find a way to catch Luo Yannian and gain merit. He didn't want his strategy to be leaked, lest the credit be taken away by others.
"Brother Duan." Cao Yu's expression eased. "If the clues you provided are indeed useful, you will definitely get a share of the credit."
He patted Duan Wuyang on the shoulder and said, "Brother, I am not the kind of person who eats alone."
"understand."
……
When Duan Wuyang was about to leave, Cao Yu suddenly asked, "What was the name of the red bandit you mentioned just now who said that after Huo Xingqian's death, and what was his identity at the time?"
"His name is Dai Mingjie, from Dongtai. He was a liaison officer for the Red Party in the French Concession at the time." Duan Wuyang said, "The Party Affairs Investigation Office got clues from other arrested Red Party members and locked down his identity. When tracking him and connecting with his superiors, Dai Mingjie was very alert and discovered the clues in advance. He took the initiative to shoot and was killed in the gunfight."
"You mean Dai Mingjie didn't run away at that time, he took the initiative to shoot?" Cao Yu asked.
"Yes." Duan Wuyang nodded, "He should be warning his superior in this way."
"You are stubborn and resist to the end. You deserve to be put to death." Cao Yu snorted coldly and said.
……
After Duan Wuyang left, Cao Yu stood at the window, lit a cigarette, and fell into deep thought.
The more Cao Yu thought about what Duan Wuyang said about Comrade Dai Mingjie's unintentional words to him before his death, the more he felt something was wrong.
There is nothing wrong with the statement 'It is glorious to sacrifice for the revolution'.
However, the first sentence 'this is good' and the second sentence 'it's a good result' are indeed a bit strange.
Does this mean that it is better to sacrifice oneself than to be captured by the enemy and tortured?
Cao Yu thought about it carefully and put himself in the situation of saying these words to a sacrificed comrade.
Cao Yu shook his head. If this was the situation he was analyzing, the first sentence 'It's good this way' was quite logical. However, the second sentence 'It's a good result' was a bit awkward.
Why does it feel awkward?
Does this mean that the situation he imagined does not conform to factual logic?
Cao Yu focused his attention on the last sentence, "It's a good result."
To die for the revolution was indeed the most glorious outcome for a Bolshevik.
So, Cao Yu's mind moved, on the contrary, what is the "bad result"?
deserter?
traitor?
Cao Yu's heart skipped a beat.
……
When Comrade Huo Xingqian was killed, the Shanghai Party organization was going through its most difficult time. The betrayal of the revolution by "Liming" had dealt a nearly devastating blow to the Shanghai Red Party. For several years thereafter, the revolution in Shanghai was at a low point.
Half a year before Huo Xingqian's death, the Central Special Branch was uncovered by the enemy, and many comrades including Comrade Zhulin were killed. The Shanghai Party organization also lost contact with the headquarters at that time. The revolutionary situation in Shanghai suffered a severe blow and fell into an unprecedented low point.
When white terror was spreading and the revolutionary situation was extremely grim, some comrades within the organization became pessimistic about the prospects of the revolution, and some even chose to become shameful traitors!
Cao Yu frowned.
He realized that if he followed his current analytical logic, his interpretation of the second half of the sentence would lead him to conclude that "Comrade Huo Xingqian is wavering about the future of the revolution, and is even pessimistic and desperate."
Cao Yu shook his head. He felt that his "random analysis" was disrespectful and blasphemous to Comrade Huo Xingqian who had already sacrificed his life.
However, reason told Cao Yu that, putting aside personal emotions and analyzing from a rational and logical perspective, his thoughts and judgments were logical.
Could it be that Cheng Qianfan, the executioner who hated the red extremely, accidentally helped the organization get rid of a person who had pessimistic thoughts about the revolution...
……
wrong!
Even if Comrade Huo Xingqian did have pessimistic thoughts about the prospects of the revolution during his lifetime, it was only a temporary wrong idea. Comrade Huo Xingqian did not really betray the revolution or the organization. When facing the enemy's arrest, he rose up to resist and did not act like a traitor.
Therefore, in essence, Comrade Huo Xingqian is undoubtedly a martyr and a hero who sacrificed his life for the revolution!
Thinking of this, Cao Yu felt relieved.
He had an idea and began to think about Huo Xingqian's case.
If they could dig deeper into this matter and find out, or make out, that Huo Xingqian was not a member of the Red Party, but someone who had intended to defect, and that Huo Xingqian was actually a "traitor to the Red Party", then Cheng Qianfan's killing of Huo Xingqian was actually equivalent to helping the Red Party "eliminate traitors" - this was a basin of dirty water thrown at Cheng Qianfan...
Who can prove whether Cheng Qianfan helped the Red Party unintentionally or did it intentionally?
The more Cao Yu thought about it, the more reliable it seemed.
However, he did not act rashly. He decided to continue digging deeper and try to find (create) more evidence to increase his suspicion of Cheng Qianfan!
……
The sun came out in the early morning.
By the evening it was raining again.
Cheng Qianfan held an umbrella and came to a river near Chunfengdeyi Building.
Standing on the bridge, watching the black-sailed boats passing by under the bridge, listening to the hawking of the old lady selling white jasmine flowers in a small basket on the bridge, the umbrella she held up shielded the moisture from the corners of Cheng Qianfan's eyes.
Today is Comrade Dai Mingjie’s birthday.
Comrade Dai Mingjie was his third liaison officer.
At that time, in view of the fact that he had initially established a foothold in the police station, Comrade Zhulin had appointed Comrade Lao Liao, who had more experience in struggle, to replace Comrade Dai Mingjie as his liaison.
Comrade Dai Mingjie met him that day to say goodbye to him. Comrade Zhulin arranged for Comrade Dai Mingjie to go to the northwest to find the party organization and try to re-establish contact with the headquarters.
Unexpectedly, this meeting turned out to be a farewell forever. When he was one street away from the meeting place, he heard gunshots and realized that something had happened.
Cheng Qianfan immediately turned to another street and went upstairs from another door of Chunfengdeyi Building. He stood at the window on the second floor of Chunfengdeyi Building and saw the body of Comrade Dai Mingjie who was killed by the enemy.
Later, he learned about the enemy's arrest files from the police station, and Cheng Qianfan confirmed his guess:
Comrade Dai Mingjie fired and fought the enemy at the cost of his own life, using his own life to send a final warning to him who was about to come to meet him!
……
Cheng Qianfan stood on the bridge and looked down.
At that time, Comrade Dai Mingjie fell into the river after being shot, and his body lay in the icy river.
Cheng Qianfan raised his head, his gaze extended forward through the fine and dense rain, passing through many streets, as if he saw Xiafei Road.
That is where Lao Liao died.
Cheng Qianfan silently lit a cigarette, biting the cigarette and walked into the door of Chunfengdeyilou with firm steps.
"Mr. Cheng, your guests are waiting for you." The manager of Chunfengdeyilou came forward hurriedly.
"Good tea, good snacks." Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly.
"okay."
……
"Old Lu." Cheng Qianfan put away his umbrella and glanced at Lu Dazhang who was already sipping tea. "I asked you to treat us, but you chose Chunfengdeyilou."
Cheng Qianfan shook his head and said, "I'm in my territory, and you still want me to treat you. I have no place to hide my face. You are calculating."
"I didn't say I wouldn't pay." Lu Dazhang said with a smile.
Cheng Qianfan glared at Lu Dazhang and sat down.
The waiter came in and served the good tea that Cheng Qianfan had left at Chunfengdeyi Tower, and also brought in some seasonal fruits and snacks.
"Go down and don't disturb me talking to Inspector Lu."
"Okay, Mr. Cheng, if you need anything, just let me know."
……
"What do you mean?" Cheng Qianfan handed a cigarette to Lu Dazhang. Lu Dazhang waved his hand, and Cheng Qianfan stuffed the cigarette directly into his mouth.
He met with Lu Dazhang today to discuss how to solve the problem of Sugita Sanshiro of the Special Higher Police asking Inspector Zhao to help him secretly arrest "Kuang Xiaoqin".
Before coming here to meet Cheng Qianfan, Lu Dazhang had already met and communicated with Zhao Shuli.
"The people can't be handed over." Lu Dazhang said.
Cheng Qianfan nodded. 'Kuang Xiaoqin' was a non-existent person, so naturally he couldn't hand her over.
"Old Zhao means that there is no other way but to make Kuang Xiaoqin disappear." Lu Dazhang said, "His biggest concern now is that once it is confirmed that 'Kuang Xiaoqin' has disappeared, it will inevitably bring trouble to you and Comrade 'Harmonica'."
After all, "Kuang Xiaoqin" was Zhang Ping's best friend, and the Japanese seemed to have determined that "Kuang Xiaoqin" was Cheng Qianfan's secret mistress.
Such a woman who was being secretly investigated by the Japanese suddenly disappeared. It was obviously impossible for the enemy not to turn their attention to Zhang Ping and Cheng Qianfan.
"It's more than that." Cheng Qianfan shook his head. "Why did 'Kuang Xiaoqin' suddenly disappear? She didn't disappear earlier or later, but just when the Japanese were investigating her and preparing to secretly arrest her, she disappeared."
He flicked the ash from his cigarette and said, "This incident itself is enough to cause some trouble and the suspicion of the enemy."
"You mean, the enemy will suspect Lao Zhao?" Lu Dazhang asked.
……
"It's not that they doubt it, but at least it will make the Japanese doubt Lao Zhao's ability to do things." Cheng Qianfan said, "They will definitely be suspicious and suspect that the news has leaked, so they will investigate. This in itself is enough to make us alert and cautious."
"The Japanese will be suspicious and investigate. In my opinion, the harm of this matter is not as great as we imagined." Lu Dazhang said thoughtfully, "'Kuang Xiaoqin' does not exist. The enemy cannot find too many clues from her. She will not pose a direct threat."
"However, precisely because 'Kuang Xiaoqin' does not exist, the enemy cannot find more clues, which will instead increase the trouble brought to you and Comrade 'Harmonica'." Lu Dazhang said.
"It will indeed cause trouble." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "But I'm already prepared to deal with it."
"Be careful. After all, the enemy has determined that 'Kuang Xiaoqin' is your mistress and your close contact. This will inevitably have an impact on you." Lu Dazhang said.
"If I were just Cheng Qianfan, this would indeed bring great danger and hidden dangers." Cheng Qianfan said.
Lu Dazhang nodded. He understood what Comrade Huo Miao meant. The identity of Miyazaki Kentaro and the preconceived notion that he was one of the Japanese "own people" could indeed help Comrade Huo Miao avoid some substantial suspicion to the greatest extent.
"The Japanese will not suspect Miyazaki Kentaro. 'Kuang Xiaoqin' can be portrayed as someone who is deliberately trying to eliminate my anti-Japanese forces." Cheng Qianfan said, "As for whether it is the Red Party or Chongqing, the Japanese need to investigate it themselves."
"It means you fell into the honey trap." Lu Dazhang said, "This can only mean that you were accidentally tricked."
"Moreover, this deliberate attempt to contact me through the 'honey trap' can actually prove that there is nothing wrong with me." Cheng Qianfan said.
Lu Dazhang thought about it and nodded. He had not analyzed the problem from this angle. Now that he thought about it, Comrade Huo Miao's analysis from this angle did make some sense.
……
"The current problem, or the biggest hidden danger, lies with Comrade Harmonica." Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully, "The Japanese will not immediately have substantive doubts about Miyazaki Kentaro, one of their own, but Comrade Harmonica is different."
"What are you going to do?" Lu Dazhang asked.
"Of course, we will do our best to protect Comrade Harmonica." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
"This is not in line with Kentaro Miyazaki's inherent temperament." Lu Dazhang shook his head.
"So, this requires cooperation from Lao Zhao." Cheng Qianfan smiled slightly.
"He arranged for someone to track and investigate 'Kuang Xiaoqin', intending to kidnap her." Cheng Qianfan said, "But my people accidentally discovered the clues."
"Old Zhao and you have always had a grudge over stealing my wife. Now he tried to kidnap Kuang Xiaoqin, and then Kuang Xiaoqin disappeared again. You will naturally not let it go." Lu Dazhang said thoughtfully, "This matter has become public, and everyone knows about it. At this time, it concerns your face, Mr. Cheng. If anyone wants to touch Comrade Harmonica, Cheng Qianfan will not give in at all. You must protect Zhang Ping."
"Good plan!" Lu Dazhang nodded slightly, "Kentaro Miyazaki pretends to be Cheng Qianfan, so he has to bear the role responsibilities and obligations that Cheng Qianfan needs to 'bear'."
