Chapter 1701 Falling into a trap
The next day, morning.
On the rooftop terrace of Minsheng Hotel, Cheng Qianfan was sitting on a chair with a wooden table in front of him and a cup of tea on the table.
He learned a surprising piece of information from Yano Fuji.
The confidential documents of the "Octopus" project are actually related to Takashi Oizumi of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.
This is what Cheng Qianfan was puzzled about.
He couldn't understand why such a secret plan jointly formulated by the Wang Puppet regime, agents from the Special Agent Headquarters, and the Japanese side would involve the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and it seemed that Oizumi Takaya played a significant role in it.
Ohizumi is so great!
Cheng Qianfan repeated the name silently in his mind. It seemed that he needed to contact this official from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology who was good at painting.
Also, Comrade "Harmonica"'s sudden visit to Nanjing must have been due to some unexpected event.
Moreover, Lao Huang also knew about Zhang Ping's visit to Nanjing, so Cheng Qianfan made the judgment that Comrade Zhang Ping had communicated with Lao Huang before coming, or informed him of the relevant situation.
This also reflects the severity of this emergency from the side.
"Brother Fan." Haozi went up to the rooftop and found Brother Fan. "It's almost time. Auntie's train will arrive soon."
"Let's go." Cheng Qianfan stood up and patted his butt. "This woman is trouble."
Haozi chuckled and didn't dare to say anything. Brother Fan was good in every way except that he couldn't control himself when it came to women.
However, speaking of it, the fact that the superiors had several concubines was really no big deal in the national government. Moreover, for Brother Fan, who was lurking behind enemy lines, his greed and lust were indeed easier to hide given his status and position.
……
TRAIN STATION.
Bustling.
"Qianfan." Zhang Ping got out of the car accompanied by two bodyguards, and saw three cars parked on the platform, and Cheng Qianfan standing next to the cars, guarded by a group of bodyguards, who came to pick her up.
"Why are you wearing so little? Be careful not to catch a cold." Cheng Qianfan took off his coat and put it on Zhang Ping.
As he said that, he hugged Zhang Ping and got into the car, "Let's go back to the hotel first."
Taking the car keys from Haozi's hand, he said, "Go to that car."
"Brother Fan, let me drive." said Haozi.
"Go away." Cheng Qianfan said unhappily, "We are talking about love, and you want to eavesdrop."
Haozi laughed and got into another car.
……
There was a bodyguard vehicle leading the way, and another bodyguard vehicle standing guard behind it. The car driven by Cheng Qianfan was guarded in the middle.
"Did something happen in the Party branch?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Everything is fine at home," Zhang Ping said. "Comrade Farmer sent a secret message."
"Tell me more details." Cheng Qianfan's expression turned serious.
"A comrade codenamed 'Red-crowned Crane' was secretly arrested by the Nanjing District of the Special Agent Headquarters. Comrade 'Farmer' ordered you to meet with the comrade codenamed 'Second Cousin' to discuss the rescue." Zhang Ping said.
"Time, place, contact code or token." Cheng Qianfan said.
"This afternoon at 02:, at the Freese Cafe in Confucius Temple, the other party will be waiting in Room B, wearing a black suit, a red tie, and a blue cap. There is a copy of today's Jinling Morning Post on the table." Zhang Ping said, "You are also holding today's Jinling Morning Post in your hand, with the third page of the newspaper facing outwards."
"The code for the meeting was that Brother Wang San from Liuhe asked me to deliver a message, and the other party replied, 'You must have made a mistake, it must be Brother Wu San.'"
"You said, yes, it's Wang Wuxin from Huzi Lane in Liuhe. His father's surname is Wang, and his mother's surname is Wu."
"The other person replied, 'But the nickname is New Young Master?'."
Cheng Qianfan listened carefully, then repeated the codeword to make sure he remembered it completely.
……
No. 21 Yihe Road.
Suchende's office.
"Have you spoken?" Su Chende asked Xue Yanlin.
"No, he just kept shouting that he was innocent and didn't say anything else," said Xue Yanlin.
"Unjust?" Su Chende sneered, "They found the gun, but you still set fire to it and tried to escape, and you still claim it's unfair!"
He snorted coldly, "You won't cry until you see the coffin."
"Continue to torture him." Su Chende said, "Didn't the Japanese send new equipment? Let him have a taste of electric shock."
"Yes!"
"Has Yang Pengze said anything?" Su Chende asked again.
"No." Xue Yanlin shook his head. "He kept shouting that he was wronged and wanted to see Dean Chen."
"He can't see Dean Chen, but it's more convenient to see King Yama." Su Chende said coldly, "Have you ever used electric shock?"
"Not yet." Xue Yanlin shook his head. "This Yang Pengze tortured too harshly. I'm worried that this guy won't survive the electric shock."
"Use it on him." Su Chende gritted his teeth and said, "These Red Party members are all despicable."
"Yes!"
……
"What have Dong Zhengguo and Cao Yu been busy with these days?" Su Chende asked.
"Dong Zhengguo has been getting close to Hu Xiao and the others these days." Xue Yanlin said, "These people used to be Dong Zhengguo's subordinates. I have asked them about it and they just ate and drank together. There is nothing unusual."
Su Chende nodded. He knew Dong Zhengguo. He was a man who valued friendship and loyalty. There was nothing strange about him being close to his former subordinates.
"I met Dong Zhengguo yesterday. He asked me when the district commander would be free. He wanted to say goodbye to the district commander and return to Shanghai." Xue Yanlin said.
"Let him wait." Su Chende said unhappily. He had always wanted to transfer Dong Zhengguo to Nanjing formally, and then Feng Man would naturally follow him, so that he and the beauty would not be separated.
However, Shanghai has been using the excuse of staff shortage there and has not agreed. What he needs to do now is to find a way to make Dong Zhengguo take the initiative to lower his head and ask to be transferred to Nanjing.
……
"Where is Cao Yu?" Su Chende asked.
"Cao Yu seems to be getting closer to Qi Huaian these days." Xue Yanlin said.
"Close? How close?" Su Chende asked immediately.
"We just had a drink together." Xue Yanlin said, "It is said that these two had a good relationship when they were in Shanghai."
"Keep a close eye on Qi Huaian. This kid has his heart set on Shanghai. Don't let him do anything small." Su Chende ordered.
"Yes!"
"How's the investigation going on regarding Cao Yu's last visit to the church cemetery on Jupulai Road?" Su Chende asked.
"I later arranged for brothers in Shanghai to investigate." Xue Yanlin said, "Zhan Zongyi often sponsored students in the past. Cao Yu's family was not very well off when he was in school. He might have received financial support from Zhan Zongyi, so he went to the cemetery to pay his respects."
"Maybe?" Su Chende looked at Xue Yanlin.
"Chief District Officer, the time interval is too long and many situations are difficult to clarify." Xue Yanlin said quickly.
He felt that District Commander was just too suspicious. How could there be any problem with someone like Cao Yu, who had been nearly killed by the Red Party and Chongqing authorities many times?
Apart from anything else, Cao Yu's injured ear was a symbol of loyalty. He knew that if Cao Yu had not been lucky, he would have been shot in the head.
"Okay, you can go out now." Su Chende waved his hand, "Intensify the interrogation of Yang Pengze and Yu Lang."
He said with a serious expression, "Especially that Yu Lang, this could be a big fish."
"Yes!"
……
At exactly three o'clock in the afternoon, Cheng Qianfan drove his car and parked it more than a hundred steps away from Freese Cafe.
"I'll walk over later." Cheng Qianfan said to Zhang Ping while checking the guns and ammunition.
"Is there any danger?" Zhang Ping was also checking her Browning pistol.
"I don't know." Cheng Qianfan shook his head. "Logically speaking, the telegram was sent by Comrade Farmer yesterday, and the secret code is only known by us and Comrade Farmer. The possibility of the enemy deciphering the telegram is basically non-existent."
"Are you worried that something might happen to your 'second cousin'?" Zhang Ping asked.
"Since it's Comrade Farmer who arranged the meeting, he is reliable in principle. What I'm worried about is that this comrade might have attracted the enemy's attention, which would be troublesome." Cheng Qianfan put his pistol behind his waist and said, "I'll take you to a private room on the second floor. When the time is almost up, I'll pretend to go to the bathroom, and then go directly to the B02 private room and knock on the door. Even if there is a problem, you can use the excuse that you went to the wrong place."
"That's a good idea." Zhang Ping nodded.
"Wait for me in the private room. If anything goes wrong, don't come out. I will find a way to rush out and drive away. Then you can find a way to leave. If I am trapped or arrested, you will immediately go back to the hotel to notify Haozi to rescue me and say that I have been kidnapped."
"clear."
"If rescue is difficult, find a way to contact Li Hao immediately. He knows what to do." Cheng Qianfan said.
If something really happens, among so many subordinates, only Haozi will not care whether he is a Red Party member or not, and will protect Xiao Zhima and her daughter and Xiaobao at all costs.
"Okay." Zhang Ping nodded.
……
Freese Cafe.
Cheng Qianfan was holding a newspaper in his hand and Zhang Ping was holding his arm. As soon as they entered the cafe, a waiter came to greet them.
"Are there any rooms available in the private rooms upstairs?" Cheng Qianfan threw a bill to the waiter and said with a haughty look on his face.
"Please, sir. Yes, we have it," the waiter said quickly.
Cheng Qianfan and his companion went upstairs and, under the guidance of the waiter, chose private room B04.
After the coffee and snacks were served, he told the waiter not to disturb him.
Three minutes later, it was ten past three.
Cheng Qianfan left the room and closed the door. He did not go directly to the private room B02. He lit a cigarette, held the cigarette in his mouth, and walked along the corridor, but found nothing unusual.
Looking at the time on his watch, it was exactly 02:. Cheng Qianfan, holding the Jinling Morning Post in his hand, knocked on the door of private room B.
……
Cao Yu put a pistol behind his waist and placed another pistol behind the back of the sofa so that he could fight at any time.
He believed that there would be no problem with the meeting with Comrade 'Farmer', who had called back personally to arrange it.
However, due to long-term vigilance, Cao Yu has made all possible preparations.
He raised his wrist to check the time on his watch. It was already a quarter past three.
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door of the private room.
……
"Please come in." Cao Yu said.
The door opened, and then Cao Yu saw Cheng Qianfan's face as he pushed the door open.
Cheng Qianfan pushed open the door and saw Cao Yu sitting on the sofa.
He was instantly shocked and frowned slightly.
What caught the eye most was Cao Yu's black suit, red tie, blue baseball cap, and a newspaper on the table.
Cheng Qianfan's first reaction was:
This is a trap.
Comrade 'Second Cousin' is in trouble.
Comrade 'Second Cousin' betrayed us and gave the enemy the secret code for the meeting?
Cheng Qianfan immediately rejected this possibility in his mind, because if Comrade 'Second Cousin' had betrayed him, he could have met him as a traitor instead of Cao Yu impersonating Comrade 'Second Cousin'.
Although he didn't understand how the enemy had obtained the code for this secret meeting, Cheng Qianfan knew that he had fallen into a trap.
……
When Cao Yu saw that it was Cheng Qianfan who came in, a look of shock flashed across his eyes.
His eyes swept across the third page of Jinling Evening News in Cheng Qianfan's hand.
There were raging storms in his heart!
Fell into a trap.
Comrade 'Flame' is in trouble.
The enemy got hold of the meeting place and the code, and Cheng Qianfan, a big traitor, pretended to be Comrade "Huo Miao".
"Sorry, we went the wrong way." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile. He looked at Cao Yu and asked, "Why, Team Leader Cao also likes coffee?"
Hearing Cheng Qianfan say "we took the wrong way", Cao Yu became even more confused.
What do you mean?
Cheng Qianfan is a well-known coward who is afraid of death. He knows that his plan to pretend to be Comrade "Huomiao" has failed, so he is preparing to find an excuse to retreat and then call the enemy in to arrest him?
……
Cao Yu made a prompt decision. He pulled out the pistol from his waist and pointed it at Cheng Qianfan. "Boss Cheng, my secret service headquarters is waiting for our friends here. You can't just say you came to the wrong place by pushing the door open."
"What is Team Leader Cao doing?" Cheng Qianfan's face changed.
"Close the door and stand behind it." Cao Yu pointed his gun at Cheng Qianfan.
"Be careful of accidental discharge." Cheng Qianfan's face showed horror. He turned around and closed the door obediently. Then as he turned around, he quickly pulled out the gun from his waist and pointed the gun at Cao Yu.
"I didn't expect Mr. Cheng to be so agile." Cao Yu faced the gun with a cold expression and snorted.
He knew that he was exposed. If he couldn't break out, he would first shoot Cheng Qianfan, the big traitor, and then decisively shoot himself.
……
"Did Su Chende send you to follow me?" Cheng Qianfan pointed his gun and asked.
His mind worked quickly and he came up with an idea to escape temporarily.
His conflict with No. 21 Yihe Road and his falling out with Su Chende could be taken advantage of at this moment.
If all else fails, he can just shoot Cao Yu dead and then tell others that the people at Yihe Road wanted to kidnap him. This can barely be a temporary excuse to cover up the issue.
……
Cao Yu looked at Cheng Qianfan.
He had to admire the cunning and cleverness of this "Mr. Cheng". When he was in danger, he pretended that he was not here to arrest him. Instead, he used the conflict with Su Chende as an excuse to try to confuse him and get away with it.
At the same time, Cao Yu had a question in his mind: why would Cheng Qianfan come to pretend to be Comrade "Huomiao" to arrest him?
This is not Secretary Cheng's job.
Without thinking too much, Cao Yu had an idea. Since Cheng Qianfan wanted to get away with it, he could just pretend to be nice and look for an opportunity to break out.
