Chapter 1892 Stay calm in times of crisis
"Is that person Wan Haiyang?" Lu Dazhang asked.
"It's him." Cheng Qianfan nodded.
Just as the car drove out of the yard of No. 76, a car drove out of the yard first. It was a person on the side of the road who was shouting at the car. Then the car braked suddenly and stopped on the road. Li Hao stepped on the brakes quickly and almost rear-ended the car.
Then Wan Haiyang was seen getting out of the car, leaning over the window and giving a few instructions. Wan Haiyang seemed to have just noticed that he had almost caused a rear-end collision with other vehicles. He nodded slightly at Cheng Qianfan who had rolled down the window to look, and then hurried back to the yard of No. 76.
The car that Wan Haiyang had just been riding in continued to drive away.
"Chen Farong is in the car." Lu Dazhang took out a notebook from his briefcase, wrote in pencil and handed it to Cheng Qianfan.
Cheng Qianfan looked at Lu Dazhang, seemingly surprised at how he knew Chen Farong.
……
"I saw the stub of Chen Farong's ID photo." Lu Dazhang wrote again.
Cheng Qianfan nodded.
"Pockmarked face, easy to recognize." Lu Dazhang wrote again.
Cheng Qianfan suddenly realized.
"Okay, I'll get off here." Lu Dazhang tore off the page of paper and put it directly into his mouth. At the same time, he put away the thin iron sheet that was placed in the notebook to cover the traces of the notes. Then he put the notebook and the iron sheet back into his briefcase.
"Haozi, stop the car." Cheng Qianfan said.
……
Watching Lu Dazhang leave, Li Hao smiled and said, "Brother Fan, Inspector Lu is really cautious."
"He is a person who actually does not take sides. He has many friends, can see through things, and is indeed cautious in doing things." Cheng Qianfan said.
"Did he see that Brother Fan, you are not actually that pro-Japanese?" Li Hao thought for a moment and suddenly said.
"It doesn't matter whether you can see it or not." Cheng Qianfan shook his head and said, "I need intelligence. Lu Dazhang is very smart and will provide me with intelligence. This choice has nothing to do with my position."
He lit a cigarette, took a puff and said, "Lu Dazhang is a pure person, a very smart person, and knows how to behave and do things."
……
"Who is he guarding against?" Li Hao shook his head and said, "Besides you, Brother Fan, there was only me in the car just now. He didn't even speak directly, but wrote with a pen and paper."
"Did you see it?" Cheng Qianfan asked with a smile.
"I saw it in the mirror." Li Hao said, "Inspector Lu thought he was being discreet, but he didn't expect that I had sharp eyes."
"Hahaha." Cheng Qianfan laughed, "He doesn't know the true relationship between you and me, and he's worried that it might leak out, so he used this method."
As he spoke, Cheng Qianfan couldn't help laughing and shook his head, "However, this method is indeed not very smart, the old way is a bit stupid."
“So, old-school detectives like Inspector Lu may indeed be experienced, but some of their experience may have become outdated,” said Li Hao.
"You are so capable." Cheng Qianfan cursed angrily.
……
"Brother Fan." Li Hao suddenly slowed down and said, "That car, the one we almost rear-ended on Jessfield Road just now."
Cheng Qianfan glanced and saw that the car was parked on the side of the road with a person left in the driver's seat.
Next to it is the branch office of Standard Chartered Bank, where people are queuing up to handle their business.
Then, Cheng Qianfan quickly locked onto the man with the pockmarked face from the crowd:
Chen Farong!
He also noticed that Chen Farong was whispering with someone next to him, and that person was one of Wan Haiyang's men. When he almost rear-ended his car just now, he saw this person in the car.
Obviously, Chen Farong did not show any signs of being imprisoned or restricted in his freedom at this time, which was enough to show that Chen Farong was now taking the initiative to do things, which also meant:
This Chen Farong may have already defected to the enemy.
At the same time, a huge question arose in Cheng Qianfan's mind——
What was Chen Farong doing with his enemies at the Standard Chartered Bank branch?
To identify the brothers of the Military Control Commission?
Or are you here to handle business, such as withdrawing money?
"Haozi, go back to your home." Cheng Qianfan said, "See if Xiaoru has received the latest call back from Luojiawan."
Now, it is very important and crucial to find out the true identity of Chen Farong.
"I understand." Li Hao nodded.
……
Kaisen Road.
Fu Liao took off his headphones.
He began to translate the telegram he had just received.
He received the telegram from Chongqing at the agreed time, and only then noticed that Chongqing had been calling them before.
It was obviously an urgent matter.
'Chen Farong and his family, Ouyang Hua were arrested by No. 76 last night, and Kuang Xiaoyi was exposed and is on the run.'
Looking at the telegram that had just been translated, Fu Liao was stunned. To be exact, he was completely stunned with shock.
He naturally knew that Chen Farong was Yao Changgen, the accountant of the district headquarters, and Ouyang Hua was Zhao Qi, the director of the Intelligence Department.
No matter which of these two people is arrested, it will be a big deal for the Shanghai District.
How could the enemy find out the identities and whereabouts of Yao Changgen and Zhao Qi silently?
I simply can't understand why I paid so much.
"Something big has happened." He quickly put away the radio and was about to put it into the secret compartment.
Then he thought about it and put the radio directly into the suitcase.
……
"Hanwen." Fu Liao shouted.
"Third brother." Zhou Hanwen came in.
"Take the radio and move immediately." Fu Liao said. He thought, "Go to Minglun Hotel on Fujian Road and get a room."
"Third brother, what happened?" Zhou Hanwen was shocked.
"Accountant Yao and Director Zhao have fallen into the hands of No. 76." Fu Liao said anxiously, "Pack up and leave immediately. Don't go anywhere unless I call you personally or go to the hotel to find you."
"Understood." Zhou Hanwen's face changed drastically when he heard that Yao Changgen and Zhao Qi were arrested. He knew the situation was critical. "Third brother, what about you?"
"This is a serious matter. I need to report to the district chief." Fu Liao said. He asked Zhou Hanwen, "Is the district chief at the district headquarters?"
"I don't know." Zhou Hanwen shook his head.
"Okay, I'm going to the district headquarters now, you evacuate immediately." Fu Liao said.
……
When they were still one street away from the district headquarters, Fu got off the rickshaw.
He paid the fare and bought a pack of cigarettes and a newspaper at a roadside grocery store.
He pretended to be smoking and reading a newspaper on the roadside, but he was actually thinking.
As he sat in the rickshaw just now, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the situation was critical, perhaps even more serious than he had previously judged.
The most direct feeling was that he felt it might not be safe to go to the district headquarters now.
Yao Changgen didn't know the location of the district headquarters. When needed, the district chief Chen Gongshu would arrange for him or Zhao Qi to meet at Yao Changgen's home.
However, Zhao Qi knew the location of the district headquarters.
Now that Zhao Qi has fallen into the hands of the enemy, it would be very dangerous to go to the district headquarters at this time.
Although he felt that based on his understanding of Zhao Qi, Zhao Qi was a tough guy who would never succumb to the enemy's torture even if he fell into the hands of the enemy, but who could guarantee such a thing?
Thinking of this, Fu Liao put out his cigarette, went to the daily necessities store again and picked up the phone.
……
"No. 33 Wenhe Road, Dajiang Commercial Bank."
The call is about to go through.
"This is Dajiang Trading Company. My surname is Wu. Who are you?"
"Wu Zhiqian, Brother Wu." Fu Liao said, "It's me, Fu Liao."
"It's Brother Fu. Is there something wrong?" Wu Zhiqian's heart moved and his face became serious.
Fu Liao's current pseudonym is Zheng Ju. He now says his real name is Fu Liao. This sentence itself is a signal:
problem occurs.
"Is the master here?" Fu Liao asked.
"No." Wu Zhiqian shook his head and said, "The master went out early in the morning."
"Where did you go?"
"do not know."
"Accountant Yao broke his leg, and Director Zhao was in a car accident." Fu Liao said, "Everyone go and visit them quickly."
After saying that, he paid and hung up the phone.
……
On the other end of the phone, Wu Zhiqian, the second assistant to the secretary of the Military Control Commission's Shanghai District, looked drastically changed.
Accountant Yao Changgen was arrested.
Intelligence Department Director Zhao Qi was arrested.
When he heard the news, he felt like he was struck by lightning and was completely panicked.
"Assistant Wu, what's wrong?" asked a man with a centipede-like scar on his face.
"Mengzi, something happened. Accountant Yao and Director Zhao fell into the hands of the enemy." Wu Zhiqian said anxiously.
"Assistant Wu, the most urgent task is to contact the district commander and quickly organize the evacuation of the headquarters and other units." Luo Xiaomeng said with a changed expression.
"Yes, yes, yes, contact the district chief immediately." Wu Zhiqian nodded. "Come here, Changcun, you, you, go out with Captain Liu immediately and find the district chief. Tell him that something happened. Accountant Yao and Director Zhao have been arrested."
"Yes." Several brothers including Liu Changcun also changed their expressions and hurried out.
"Assistant Wu, the most important thing now is to evacuate immediately." Luo Xiaomeng saw that Wu Zhiqian only arranged people to find the district chief, but did not arrange for the headquarters to evacuate, and he could not help but speak anxiously.
"Should we wait for the district commander to come back and consider the situation?" Wu Zhiqian hesitated. "The headquarters is a place carefully selected by the district commander. If we just give up, it would be better for the district commander to make the decision..."
……
"Assistant Wu, we can't delay any longer." Luo Xiaomeng stamped his feet anxiously, "Director Zhao knows about this place, what if..."
"Okay, okay, evacuate immediately." Wu Zhiqian looked at Luo Xiaomeng, then he gritted his teeth and said, "Pack your belongings, burn the confidential documents, and evacuate in half an hour."
Wu Zhiqian watched Luo Xiaomeng help pack up in an orderly manner, and couldn't help but look at this brother with admiration, "Mengzi, you're great, you're very calm."
"He remained calm in the face of danger. He has the demeanor of a great general!" He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "He is calmer than an assistant like me."
"Assistant Wu, can I tell the truth?" Luo Xiaomeng looked around and said.
"Speak." Wu Zhiqian nodded. As the saying goes, talents are revealed in times of crisis. He now has a very good impression of Luo Xiaomeng.
"Assistant Wu came to the Shanghai district later. Before that, our Shanghai district had been attacked by the enemy four or five times." Luo Xiaomeng said.
"What do you mean?" Wu Zhiqian swallowed and said.
"After going through this a lot, I'm naturally not so panicked anymore." Luo Xiaomeng said with a wry smile.
……
"In other words, you have managed to break through and survive each of these encirclements?" Wu Zhiqian was stunned at first, then he suddenly looked at Luo Xiaomeng with a sharp gaze and asked.
Seeing Luo Xiaomeng nod, Wu Zhiqian immediately decided that he must pay more attention to this brother to a higher level, to the point where he must be inseparable from him.
"The situation is critical now. If you have any ideas, just tell me directly." Wu Zhiqian said seriously.
"Oh oh oh." Luo Xiaomeng nodded.
"Also, from now on, you must follow me closely." Wu Zhiqian lowered his voice and said, "During this emergency, I trust you the most."
……
Jessfield Road.
"Captain Wan, I have invited two brothers here." Dong Zhengguo said to Wan Haiyang.
"Thank you for your hard work, brothers. Please come and recognize someone." Wan Haiyang looked at the two of them and said.
These two people were Lu Chenfeng, the squad leader of the Military Control Commission’s Shanghai District Action Brigade, and Xu Anhua, a liaison officer of the Military Control Commission’s Nanjing District.
Lu Chenfeng is a key cadre of the Shanghai District Action Team and has met many high-level officials in the Shanghai District.
Xu Anhua was an intelligence agent from the Shanghai area who was personally planted in Nanjing by Chen Gongshu and Zhao Qi. Naturally, he had also met Chen Gongshu and Zhao Qi.
So, he asked Dong Zhengguo to bring these two people to identify the person.
Yes, he now tends to suspect that this Zhang Baolong is Chen Gongshu.
There is no other reason, the aura this person has is not something that ordinary people can possess.
In addition, the fact that someone knew Zhao Qi's home address and visited him was enough to show that he had a respectable status.
Moreover, the fact that Aping, a servant in Zhao Qi's family, warned this person at the risk of angering them and being beaten to death on the spot was enough to show that this person had an extraordinary identity. Taking all factors into consideration, he highly suspected that this person was Chen Gongshu.
"Brother Lu, look, do you know this person?" Wan Haiyang said with a smile.
……
Chen Gongshu looked at Lu Chenfeng and Xu Anhua in front of him, and his heart was in his throat.
To be exact, he is now desperate.
Judging from the situation, these two bastards, Lu Chenfeng and Xu Anhua, have already surrendered to the enemy and betrayed the country. Why don't these two bastards directly point out him and use his Chen Gongshu to seek credit and reward?
However, until the very last moment, Chen Gongshu was still enduring and not letting himself be exposed. What if these two guys found out?
Although he also knew that this possibility was almost non-existent, but what if?
……
"I don't know him." Lu Chenfeng glanced at Chen Gongshu and shook his head.
Wan Haiyang stared into Lu Chenfeng's eyes, "Brother Lu, do you see clearly?"
"I really don't know him." Lu Chenfeng shook his head and said.
Chen Gongshu just looked at Lu Chenfeng and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He felt as if he saw great pain and guilt in Lu Chenfeng's eyes.
However, immediately afterwards, Chen Gongshu's heart began to lift again.
Lu Chenfeng has passed this level, and there is also Xu Anhua.
"Brother Xu, come and recognize it." Wan Haiyang said.
"Captain Wan, I don't know this person." Xu Anhua stared at Chen Gongshu, then shook his head and said.
"Really don't know him?" Wan Haiyang looked at Xu Anhua with suspicion.
"Captain Wan, I really don't know him." Xu Anhua said, "If you know him, please tell me. This is a great achievement."
After hearing what Xu Anhua said, Wan Haiyang's doubts were finally dispelled.
He waved his hand, indicating that Lu Chenfeng and Xu Anhua could leave.
Wan Haiyang was a little disappointed. He had been expecting that this Zhang Baolong was Chen Gongshu, but he didn't expect that he was not. This made him feel bad.
At this time, when Wan Haiyang saw Lu Chenfeng and Xu Anhua leaving, they subconsciously looked at Zhang Baolong, and his heart moved.
……
"Director, Chen Farong is a pseudonym. His real identity is Yao Changgen, the accountant of the Shanghai region."
"And Ouyang Hua's real identity is Zhao Qi, director of the Shanghai District Intelligence Department."
Zhou Ru reported to the director with a serious expression.
