Chapter 1872: Fishing for people
"There is one thing we need to confirm." Li Cuiqun looked at Wan Haiyang and said, "You said that the military police were unable to confirm Shu Jincheng's identity. However, I remember that when Zuo Shang came here, he paid special attention to Shu Jincheng."
"Yes." Wan Haiyang nodded, "Lieutenant Colonel Zuo Shang thinks there is something wrong with Shu Jincheng and even suspects that his identity is not ordinary."
"However, after several months of investigation, the military police did not find any problems with Shu Jincheng." Wan Haiyang said, "Also, I inquired and found that the reason why Shu Jincheng was included in the execution list this time was because Lieutenant Colonel Zuo Shang believed that Shu Jincheng could survive months of interrogation and torture."
Glancing at Li Cuiqun, Wan Haiyang said, "Lieutenant Colonel Zuo Shang thinks that ordinary people can't stand the interrogation of the gendarmerie, so..."
Li Cuiqun nodded, he understood.
It can be said that Umezumi Sakami's intuition was accurate. Shu Jincheng was indeed a big fish. However, the military police had not been able to confirm his identity. In addition, he was a tough guy, so the Japanese would rather kill the wrong person than let him go, so they simply executed him.
……
"Director, under such circumstances, it is very difficult to rescue Shu Jincheng from the gendarmerie's execution list." Wan Haiyang frowned and said.
"The most important thing is that we have to save Shu Jincheng in order to arrest him later." He said to Li Cuiqun, "Director, this will be even more difficult to operate. The Japanese are very cunning and will be suspicious."
"So, people need to be saved, but they cannot have anything to do with us," said Li Cuiqun.
As he spoke, he pressed the bell on his desk and said, "Ask Dong Zhengguo to come over."
……
"This is the situation. Tell me what you think." Li Cuiqun said to Dong Zhengguo.
"I think I understand what the director means." Dong Zhengguo said thoughtfully, "We have to snatch this big fish, Cen Yufeng, from the Japanese, but we can't let the Japanese notice this."
"That is to say, we need to find a way to rescue Shu Jincheng from the military police, and then we can secretly arrest him."
"In this process of saving people, it is not appropriate for us to step in," Dong Zhengguo said. "It is best to have others do the saving."
Li Cuiqun nodded slightly.
"Chief Dong, do you have any good ideas?" Wan Haiyang glanced at Dong Zhengguo.
"It's not easy to save someone from the Japanese execution list," Dong Zhengguo said thoughtfully. "This person must have a good relationship with the Japanese, and the Japanese must be willing to give him face."
"The most important thing is that this kind of thing is very troublesome and most people don't want to get involved." Dong Zhengguo thought for a moment and added.
……
"Director, I thought of someone who is very suitable to help us rescue Shu Jincheng from the gendarmerie." Wan Haiyang's eyes rolled and he said with a plan in mind.
"Who?" Li Cuiqun looked at Wan Haiyang.
"The director's junior." Wan Haiyang said with a smile, "Mr. Cheng."
Li Cuiqun seemed slightly stunned, then pointed at Wan Haiyang and chuckled.
"Director, Captain Wan's idea is good." Dong Zhengguo said on the side. He thought for a moment and said, "I will recommend someone to do this."
He said the name.
Li Cuiqun thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes!"
Then he warned, "For confidentiality reasons, Shu Jincheng's true identity must not be revealed. Remember, this matter is left to you. Someone has asked you to help rescue him, that's all."
"I understand." Dong Zhengguo nodded and said.
……
Lafayette Road.
Li Hao got out of the cab, walked around and opened the door.
Cheng Qianfan got out of the car and handed the briefcase to Bai Ruolan.
"Why are you back so late?" Bai Ruolan asked as she took the briefcase.
"I have something urgent to do before I get off work." Cheng Qianfan said to his wife as they walked, "What are we having for dinner?"
"There are guests." Bai Ruolan said.
"Oh?" Cheng Qianfan walked to the door of the living room and saw Cao Yu sitting on the sofa in the living room.
"Mr. Cheng, sorry to bother you." Cao Yu quickly stood up and came forward.
"Team Leader Cao is a rare guest." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
"Mr. Cheng, you are blaming Mr. Cao for coming to visit." Cao Yu said with a smile.
"Hahaha." Cheng Qianfan laughed loudly. He turned to Bai Ruolan and said, "Make a pot of good tea and ask Haozi to bring it to the reception room."
Then he nodded to Cao Yu and said, "Team Leader Cao, let's talk over here."
soon.
"Brother Fan." Li Hao put the teapot and tea sets away.
"Well, go and do your thing." Cheng Qianfan nodded.
"Team Leader Cao never comes to visit unless there's something important to do. Why are you here?"
When Li Hao closed the door and left, he heard Brother Fan asking Cao Yu.
……
"You mean, someone asked Dong Zhengguo to help rescue someone from the military police?" Cheng Qianfan looked at Cao Yu and asked in surprise, "Dong Zhengguo felt it was difficult to do, but couldn't refuse due to personal reasons, so he found you, and then you found me."
"That's what Dong Zhengguo said. He said he knew that I had a good relationship with you, and that you had always had a close relationship with the Japanese, and even had friends in the military police." Cao Yu nodded and said, "So, Dong Zhengguo found me and asked you to do it."
Cheng Qianfan looked thoughtful.
"You also think this matter is a bit strange." Cao Yu said after taking a sip of tea.
"It's a bit strange." Cheng Qianfan nodded. He asked Cao Yu, "If you, Unit 76, wanted to rescue someone captured by the Japanese military police, would you be able to do it normally?"
"Difficult." Cao Yu thought for a moment and said, "If we were the ones who captured the person in Jisifeilu, it would be much easier for the Japanese to get him from us."
"However, if Jisifeilu wants to rescue people from the gendarmerie, it will be difficult. The Japanese can completely ignore it." Cao Yu said.
"But if we try our best to find a solution, there is still a certain hope of achieving it, right?" Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully.
"Yes." Cao Yu nodded. "Let me put it this way. If Dong Zhengguo relies on his own ability, it will be difficult, almost impossible, to get the person out of the military police. However, if he asks Li Cuiqun for help, he can still ask the military police to release the person in Li Cuiqun's name."
"Of course, the prerequisite is that the person arrested by the gendarmerie has no problems and was just arrested by mistake," Cao Yu added.
……
"Was it a mistake?" Cheng Qianfan asked immediately.
"Dong Zhengguo said it was a mistake." Cao Yu nodded and said, "I believe this is true. If this person really had a problem, Dong Zhengguo would not have stepped in to avoid suspicion."
"That's the problem." Cheng Qianfan took a sip of tea, looked at Cao Yu and said, "Dong Zhengguo asked Li Cuiqun to help rescue people, or he asked you to come to me to help rescue people. Which one do you think is more reasonable?"
"I understand what you mean. I also felt something was wrong at first." Cao Yu said.
"It may be difficult for him to ask Li Cuiqun for help in rescuing the person, but as long as he asks, given how much Li Cuiqun values him, he will probably not stand idly by. Of course, necessary arrangements will also have to be made," said Cao Yu.
"And by finding you through me, with your reputation as 'Little General Cheng', you have to be prepared to bleed a lot. At the same time, you will not only owe me a favor, but also owe you a favor." Cao Yu said, "It's not cost-effective now."
"What is Dong Zhengguo's explanation for this?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"He told me 'privately' that the person asking for help has plenty of money, and he just wants to make friends with you, so he's just being generous to him," Cao Yu said.
"It's as if I should thank him for giving me money." Cheng Qianfan chuckled and shook his head. "Based on your understanding of Dong Zhengguo, do you believe what he said?"
……
"Half-believing, half-doubting." Cao Yu pondered and said, "Before that time in Nanjing, Dong Zhengguo knew that Su Chende had taken possession of Feng Man, and he hated Su Chende to the core. It happened that you and Su Chende had a complete falling out that time, so I persuaded him to befriend you and deal with Su Chende together."
"According to what you said, do you think there is no problem?" Cheng Qianfan asked Cao Yu.
"No." Cao Yu shook his head. "Logically speaking, there seems to be no problem, but my intuition tells me that there is something fishy."
"Tell me about it." Cheng Qianfan handed a cigarette to Cao Yu.
"Let alone the fact that I tried to persuade Dong Zhengguo to befriend you, but his response was very cold. Even if he really wants to befriend you, this is not a very good opportunity." Cao Yu pondered and said, "It is not easy to rescue someone from the Japanese military police. Even if this person was arrested by mistake, most people would avoid him as much as possible."
He said to Cheng Qianfan, "Even if you have a relationship with the Japanese gendarmerie, it's best not to get involved in this kind of thing."
"So, what Dong Zhengguo said about taking this opportunity to befriend me at the expense of others is strictly speaking not true." Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly and said.
"That's what I mean." Cao Yu nodded and said, "Of course, it may be that I am overthinking it. Dong Zhengguo just suddenly felt that he wanted to make friends with you, and this happened to be a good opportunity to take advantage of it."
"For us, worrying too much is never a derogatory word, but a complimentary word," Cheng Qianfan said seriously.
……
"What do you mean?" Cao Yu asked.
"No hurry." Cheng Qianfan said, "First tell me about the person Dong Zhengguo wants to rescue."
"A few months ago, there was a shooting incident on Maoming Road involving Japanese military police agents. The Japanese captured the gunman at Qing'an Teahouse and also arrested many of the tea drinkers there. Do you still remember this incident?" Cao Yu asked.
"I have some impression." Cheng Qianfan's heart moved, but his expression remained calm. He nodded and said.
"This man named Shu Jincheng is one of the tea drinkers who were arrested." Cao Yu said.
"As far as I know, under pressure from the French Concession authorities, the Japanese have released most of the tea drinkers." Cheng Qianfan frowned slightly and said, "Why is Shu Jincheng not on the list of those released?"
"According to Dong Zhengguo, after being arrested, Shu Jincheng felt that he was wronged and his attitude may have been a bit bad, so the Japanese held a grudge against him and kept him detained and interrogated," said Cao Yu.
……
"Did he use torture?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"It is said that torture was used." Cao Yu nodded.
Then, he saw Cheng Qianfan revealing a meaningful smile, and he understood the meaning of this smile.
"The interrogation room of the military police is not something that ordinary people can endure. Under severe torture, even if there is no problem, many people will confess guilt in order to feel comfortable temporarily and not suffer any more." Cheng Qianfan said, "Shu Jincheng has been detained by the military police for several months. Dong Zhengguo said that this person has no problem. This is the biggest problem."
Cheng Qianfan now highly suspects that this Shu Jincheng is most likely Cen Yufeng, the secretary of the Shanghai District of the Military Control Commission who was arrested by Zuo Shangmei Jinzhu in the Maoming Road Teahouse Incident!
However, this speculation needs further confirmation.
"Now, let me assume that there is something wrong with Shu Jincheng. Then here comes the question." Cao Yu pondered and said, "Why did Dong Zhengguo take on this matter and ask me to find you to rescue him from the military police?"
"Do you suspect they are coming for me or you?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"It shouldn't be targeting me. I've thought about it carefully and I haven't made any mistakes. Besides, they are looking for you to rescue someone. If there is a conspiracy, it is more likely to be targeted at you." Cao Yu said.
Cheng Qianfan didn't say anything, but frowned and thought.
……
"If you want to ask for my opinion, I suggest you decline." Cao Yu said after thinking, "Just say that you don't want to get involved in something involving the military police."
"Don't rush to refuse." Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully, "No matter what Dong Zhengguo's purpose is, I will arrange to investigate this matter and then make a decision."
"Well." Cheng Qianfan smiled and said to Cao Yu, "You reply to Dong Zhengguo, well, just say that because the matter involves the Japanese military police, I don't want to get involved. However, after you persuaded me and said that they are willing to pay a large sum of money for help, I softened my tone and decided to consider it."
"Okay." Cao Yu nodded. "In short, be careful. We must assume and guard against our enemies with the greatest malice."
"I'll be careful." Cheng Qianfan nodded.
"After I return to Jisifei Road, I will also try to find out the situation from Dong Zhengguo." Cao Yu said.
"Be careful." Cheng Qianfan warned.
"Don't worry, they don't know our true relationship and won't suspect anything," said Cao Yu.
Cheng Qianfan nodded. The enemy could never have imagined the relationship between Comrade Huo Miao and Comrade Second Cousin. This was their greatest reliance for remaining unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances and maintaining their position firmly on the Diaoyutai stage.
……
After seeing Cao Yu off, Cheng Qianfan returned to his study and fell into deep thought.
He pondered the matter in his mind.
Let’s first assume that Shu Jincheng is Cen Yufeng!
Under this assumption, it is interesting that Dong Zhengguo contacted him through Cao Yu and asked him to help rescue people from the gendarmerie.
Then, continue with the hypothesis.
Assuming that Dong Zhengguo did not know Shu Jincheng's true identity, someone did ask Dong Zhengguo to help rescue him.
So, the Shanghai district is making efforts to rescue Shu Jincheng, and through some unknown relationship, they have established a connection with Dong Zhengguo and asked Dong Zhengguo to help rescue him?
There is indeed such a possibility.
Cen Yufeng is Boss Dai's favorite general. As far as he knows, Chongqing has never given up on rescuing Cen Yufeng.
The Shanghai District has been trying to find a way to rescue Cen Yufeng. According to what he knows, Chen Gongshu, the mayor of the Shanghai District, and Cen Yufeng, the secretary of the Shanghai District, are working together quite well. For both public and private reasons, Chen Gongshu wants to save Cen Yufeng.
However, it was obvious that in Boss Dai's mind, the importance of this 'Blue Bird' was far above that of Cen Yufeng. For safety reasons, Boss Dai did not let him participate in the rescue of Cen Yufeng, so he did not have many clues about Cen Yufeng's situation after his arrest.
If that was the case, and it was Dong Zhengguo who asked him for help, he might as well go with the flow and save Shu Jincheng.
Cheng Qianfan pondered in his mind, if he took on this matter, would it bring any safety risks to himself?
……
Hidden danger?
Suddenly, Cheng Qianfan's heart moved.
Another assumption:
What if Dong Zhengguo knew that Shu Jincheng’s real identity was Cen Yufeng?
Cheng Qianfan's face darkened. He was also shocked by his own bold assumption. He fell into deep thought...
