Chapter 1760: Subordinates suspect Cheng Qianfan is a member of the Military Control Commission!
The last few days in late May in Shanghai were rainy and humid.
The French Concession Police Station announced that the Central Police Station, under the personal command of Deputy Chief Inspector Cheng Qianfan, had completely wiped out a group of bandits who had sneaked into the French Concession with evil intentions.
The French Concession authorities stated that the police station was confident that they could maintain public order in the concession and warned all lawless elements that the French Concession was a place they were absolutely not allowed to set foot in.
"Left shoulder, use a little more force." Cheng Qianfan was lying comfortably on the sofa while Old Huang was massaging his shoulders.
"The police station's notice has been sent out for several days, but there has been no movement on Jessfield Road. It's a little too strange how quiet it is," said Old Huang.
The notice issued by the police station was issued by Cheng Qianfan as soon as possible. He wanted to prove that the person killed in the Albert Road warehouse was a notorious bandit before the secret service headquarters could take any action.
However, what is strange is that the police station’s notice has been issued for several days, but there has been no movement from the secret service headquarters.
"It has been confirmed that the dead guys are from the secret service headquarters. There is no doubt about that." Cheng Qianfan said, "There has been no movement from Jessfield Road. The only explanation is that they are planning something."
……
"Investigate secretly, obtain further evidence, and then take action?" Old Huang said after thinking.
"It's possible." Cheng Qianfan sighed comfortably and said, "However, if an enemy comes, we will fight him with our own army, and if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. There is only one explanation for this matter in my opinion. They are a group of bandits who want to harm me."
He sneered, "Even if Li Cuiqun has more evidence, that evidence is not very lethal to me."
"Have you reported to the Special High Section?" asked Lao Huang.
"Of course not." Cheng Qianfan said, "You forgot, I have now determined that the group is a group of bandits, and the police station has surrounded and eliminated a group of bandits. This is the right thing to do, and there is no need to report anything to the Special High Section."
"I always feel that this matter will not be so simple, there must be follow-up." Lao Huang said.
……
"Of course it's not easy." Cheng Qianfan sat up from the sofa with his shoulders bare, and Lao Huang applied blood-activating essential oil on his back.
"That mysterious phone call, that mysterious shopkeeper Tong didn't call again afterwards." Cheng Qianfan said, "Just this point alone reveals something fishy about the whole thing."
"How's the investigation going on that phone number?" asked Lao Huang.
"It was a call from a roadside telephone booth." Cheng Qianfan said, "It was not a call from the telegraph office, but a coin-operated phone." (PS1)
"This person is very cautious." said Lao Huang.
"Yeah." Cheng Qianfan nodded. "Although the result of this call is a warning, this person should be a friend rather than an enemy, but my intuition tells me that this matter may not be that simple."
"There is one more thing." Old Huang said, "Since those photos and route maps targeting you were found in the warehouse, this means that the agent headquarters did intend to take action against you. I am a little confused about this."
……
"It should be Hu Sishui. If there is someone at the secret service headquarters who wants to harm me, Hu Sishui is the most likely suspect." Cheng Qianfan said, "And among the bodies found at the scene, one person can be confirmed to be Hu Sishui's subordinate."
"It's still not right." Old Huang patted Cheng Qianfan's back hard and said, "Even if it's Hu Sishui, is he really that bold? Dare to attack you openly?"
"Perhaps only Hu Sishui himself knows the answer to this question." Cheng Qianfan looked thoughtful. "However, there is one thing. The person in charge of monitoring Hu Sishui reported that Hu Sishui has been staying at home recently. Even when he goes out, he is with Wan Haiyang."
……
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" asked Lao Huang.
"Let's make an assumption first." Cheng Qianfan said, "If the people killed in the warehouse on Albert Road were all Hu Sishui's men, then Hu Sishui's losses would be heavy."
"I understand what you mean. With Hu Sishui's temper, he will definitely react and retaliate after suffering such a big loss." Old Huang said, "But this person is too calm."
"Yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded. "The only explanation is that Li Cuiqun suppressed Hu Sishui. However, based on my understanding of my senior, the Special Agent Headquarters suffered such a big loss, he will definitely respond. However, there has been no movement over there."
He said to Lao Huang, "Even if it is as you said, there is some conspiracy going on over at Jessfield Road, they have been quiet for too long."
Again, if he insisted that the people he was targeting were a group of bandits who were plotting against him, he would basically be invincible, and therefore, he was not afraid of the secret service headquarters coming to his door.
However, there was no response from the secret service headquarters, which made him puzzled and gave him a sense of crisis.
……
No. 76, Jisfield Road.
"Director, we have checked it out." Wan Haiyang said.
"According to the intelligence sent by the spy who infiltrated the police station," Wan Haiyang said, "Cheng Qianfan received a mysterious phone call that night. The caller told Cheng Qianfan that a group of bandits had sneaked into the French Concession and were hiding in a warehouse on Albert Street. This group of people intended to harm Cheng Qianfan and his family."
"Afterwards, Cheng Qianfan mobilized his men to Lafede Road to protect his family, and he personally led a team to encircle and suppress the Yarpei Road." Wan Haiyang said.
……
"Mysterious warning call?" Li Cuiqun narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Yes." Wan Haiyang nodded. "From the information provided by the police station, this mysterious phone number does exist."
"My junior is very afraid of death and cares a lot about his family." Li Cuiqun said thoughtfully, "If the intelligence is true, given his temper, it is in line with his character to lead others to take action."
He looked at Wan Haiyang, "So, what you mean is that someone deliberately made this call in order to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"
"Uh." Wan Haiyang hesitated for a moment and said, "There is another situation. The police did find evidence at the warehouse."
"What evidence?" Li Cuiqun asked.
"There is a map of Cheng Qianfan's daily route from home to the police station, as well as photos of Cheng Qianfan's family." Wan Haiyang said, "All of this seems to confirm what the police station's notice said."
"Could these evidences have been forged by the police station afterwards?" Li Cuiqun asked immediately.
……
"Director, do you suspect that they discovered that the person who was killed was one of ours, so they forged evidence to justify themselves?" Wan Haiyang asked.
"What do you think?" Li Cuiqun glanced at Wan Haiyang.
"Logically speaking, this possibility does exist," Wan Haiyang said. "However, according to the information revealed by the police who followed Cheng Qianfan's operation that night, the evidence was indeed found at the scene and should not have been forged later."
Li Cuiqun's face darkened. "So, you suspect that these guys gathered in the warehouse not to hunt down people from the Shanghai area as Hu Sishui said, but to attack Cheng Qianfan?"
"Director." Wan Haiyang shook his head and said, "Captain Hu said that he gathered his men to search for people in the Shanghai area. This should be true."
Wan Haiyang continued, "I sent people to investigate the Nathan & Co. on Baile Road. It was deserted after the incident that night. Subsequent investigations confirmed that the Nathan & Co. was most likely a secret intelligence station in Shanghai. This is enough to prove that what Captain Hu said is true."
……
"Then how do you explain those photos?" Li Cuiqun snorted coldly, "Didn't Hu Sishui investigate with you? What did he say?"
"Captain Hu said that he had indeed arranged for someone to monitor Cheng Qianfan, and those photos and route maps might have been carried by Zhuo Yang and accidentally left at the scene." Wan Haiyang said, "Captain Hu said that he was just monitoring Cheng Qianfan, and then you, the director, reprimanded him, and he stopped."
As he spoke, he glanced at Cao Yu, who was standing beside Li Cuiqun, respectful and silent.
"You go out first." Li Cuiqun said lightly.
Wan Haiyang was stunned for a moment. He had intended to ask Li Cuiqun about his plan for handling the matter, especially the subsequent treatment of Cheng Qianfan. However, seeing Li Cuiqun's gloomy face, he did not ask after all.
"Yes, I am resigning."
……
"Cao Yu, what do you think about this matter?" Li Cuiqun asked Cao Yu.
"Director, whether Cheng Qianfan was used by someone or was used as a tool to kill someone, or he knew that the person was Captain Hu's man, and because Captain Hu offended him, he killed him to vent his anger." Cao Yu thought for a while and said, "But, Cheng Qianfan led people to kill the brothers of my special agent headquarters, this is a fact."
Cao Yu's expression became serious, and he continued, "My secret service headquarters must respond to this matter."
"Go on." Li Cuiqun nodded slightly and said.
"We must fight back." Cao Yu's eyes were cold. "Whoever killed someone from my secret service headquarters will pay the price."
Li Cuiqun looked at Cao Yu deeply and said, "When you were in Nanjing, you had close contact with my junior. I didn't expect that you would support the attack on Cheng Qianfan."
"The reason why I am close to Cheng Qianfan is because he had a conflict with Commander Su in Nanjing at that time..." Cao Yu said. As he spoke, he looked at Li Cuiqun cautiously with a cautious expression.
"Okay, you are someone I trust, so you don't have to be so cautious in front of me." Li Cuiqun said, "Su Meiyi is ambitious, and I have long been dissatisfied with him. I can say this in front of you, and you don't have to be shy about anything."
He pointed at Cao Yu and said, "Just tell me what you want to say. I believe in you and I trust you."
……
"Yes." Cao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "I approached Cheng Qianfan for a purpose. Director, I am from the Special Agent Headquarters. Cheng Qianfan killed our people, so he is our enemy. I know this clearly."
"Enemy?" Li Cuiqun snorted, "This enemy is so chaotic!"
He waved his hand, "Go on."
"No more." Cao Yu said.
"That's all?" Li Cuiqun glanced at Cao Yu.
"I support taking action against Cheng Qianfan, and we must respond." Cao Yu said, "This is my opinion."
"You, just say whatever you want to say. There is nothing you can't say in front of me." Li Cuiqun pointed at Cao Yu and said, "Go ahead."
"Director." Cao Yu smiled bitterly, "I do have some immature ideas, but I don't know whether to express them or not."
"explain."
"Yes!" Cao Yu continued, "Director Wan said that Cheng Qianfan received a mysterious phone call. I think this call is the key. If we can find this mysterious person, perhaps all the mysteries can be solved."
"It's like looking for a needle in a haystack to find this person." Li Cuiqun shook his head. "It is said that Cheng Qianfan is also looking for this person in the police station, but he has not found his whereabouts."
"What if Cheng Qianfan arranged this call himself?" Cao Yu thought for a moment and said, "He directed and acted it himself, so naturally he can't find the person."
……
"Do you suspect that Cheng Qianfan directed and acted this himself?" Li Cuiqun asked.
"From what I know about 'Little General Cheng', he had no reason or need to attack our people." Cao Yu said, "But those who were killed were all Captain Hu's men, and Captain Hu and Cheng Qianfan had a conflict recently, this..."
"Okay, let's assume your analysis is possible." Li Cuiqun nodded, "How did Cheng Qianfan know that Hu Sishui had gathered everyone on Albert Road, and how could he arrange and direct this phone call so promptly?"
"Only Cheng Qianfan himself knows this." Cao Yu said with a wry smile, "This is just an immature analysis by my subordinates."
Li Cuiqun shook his head slowly. Based on his understanding of his junior, it was not the style of this junior to direct and act out such a phone call and then kill Hu Sishui's people.
If Cheng Qianfan wanted to take revenge on Hu Sishui, the most likely thing he would do was to catch Hu Sishui arranging his men to sneak into the French Concession, and publicly arrest them on the grounds of illegally entering the French Concession with weapons, giving them a light punishment, rather than going to such extremes, which would be almost equivalent to turning against the secret service headquarters.
"There is one more thing. After thinking about it, I feel it is a little strange." Cao Yu showed hesitation, but finally said.
"explain."
"Yes." Cao Yu said, "Director Wan just said that on the night when Cheng Qianfan led the police to attack the Albert Road warehouse, the Military Intelligence Bureau Shanghai District evacuated the intelligence station at the Nathan & Co. on Baile Road. This time point is too coincidental."
"Captain Hu gathered his men and prepared to attack Nathan Yang after daybreak, but they evacuated that night. This doesn't make sense." Cao Yu said, "Did the intelligence of the operation leak? Or is there a deeper secret behind this?"
……
"What's the deeper secret?" Li Cuiqun thought and glanced at Cao Yu. "Just tell me what you have to say. Why are you hiding it?"
"Director, I just think the timing of these two events is too coincidental." Cao Yu said.
Under Li Cuiqun's gaze, he continued, "If I hadn't known that 'Xiao Zong' was a follower of Mr. Wang and was praised by Mr. Wang himself, I would have suspected that the police station attacked Albert Lu in order to help the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Division evacuate."
"What do you want to say?" Li Cuiqun snorted, "You, just say it if you have something to say."
"My subordinate, I have a tiny bit of doubt..." Cao Yu said.
"What do you doubt?" Li Cuiqun asked.
"I suspect that Cheng Qianfan is from the Military Control Commission." Cao Yu was cheered up and said loudly.
