Chapter 1897 District Headquarters
"Who is this?" Cheng Qianfan glanced at the person who was greeting him at the door of the private room.
"Mr. Cheng, this is Director Feng Ziqian from the Third Operations Department of my Special Agent Headquarters." Cao Yu quickly introduced.
"It turns out to be Director Feng." Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly.
"Mr. Cheng, I've long heard of your name." Feng Ziqian had a warm smile on his face, bent down slightly and extended his hand.
"Director Feng." Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly.
……
"Huaiyuan Lane?" Cheng Qianfan took a sip of tea, showing a surprised look, and said, "I know that there was a shooting incident in Huaiyuan Lane, but I didn't expect that your unit was ambushed."
"It's just that this incident happened in Xiafei District, and the Xiafei Police Station will handle this case. In addition, the Political Department should also send personnel to intervene in the investigation." Cheng Qianfan glanced at Cao Yu and Feng Ziqian, "But I don't know what you two want me to do?"
"Boss Cheng, this is what happened. In the case of Shu Jincheng being kidnapped, a criminal pretended to be a detective from the French Concession Political Department's investigation team." Cao Yu said, "I wonder if the police station has made any progress in investigating this matter for several days?"
"The other party succeeded in one attack and then escaped. Although the police station has never given up the investigation, as far as I know, there is no definite progress." Cheng Qianfan shook his head slowly and said.
He looked puzzled.
"Mr. Cheng, you may not know this. In the Huaiyuan Lane attack, the other party used the same old trick again, pretending to be a member of the Highway Division of the Patrol Office, to trick our vehicles into taking a detour and eventually tricking them into Huaiyuan Lane." Feng Ziqian said, "Because both cases involved people impersonating patrol officers, we suspect that the two cases may have been committed by the same group of people."
"Is this really true?" Cheng Qianfan frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied.
Cao Yu nodded. "It is precisely because the other party has repeatedly impersonated a police officer, which is extremely bad, that I took the liberty to ask Mr. Cheng to help investigate this matter."
"Impersonating a member of the Highway Division of the Police Station. Logically, this kind of thing should be investigated by the Investigation Team of the Political Department of the French Concession." Cheng Qianfan murmured.
"Mr. Cheng, I'll leave this matter to you." Feng Ziqian said politely.
"This matter..." Cheng Qianfan pondered.
"I will ask the political department about this matter." Cheng Qianfan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will pay attention to this matter just for your sake."
"Mr. Cheng, thank you very much." Feng Ziqian apologized to Cheng Qianfan with tea instead of wine.
"Don't worry." Cheng Qianfan took a sip of tea and nodded slightly.
……
Haozi stayed in the car the whole time, his eyes fixed on the window of the private room on the second floor, waiting for any secret signal that Brother Fan might send.
However, I didn't receive the secret signal until I saw Brother Fan coming out of Chunfengdeyi Building.
"Brother Fan." Haozi opened the car door and said respectfully.
"You two, please stay, please stay." Cheng Qianfan waved goodbye to Feng Ziqian and Cao Yu.
Feng Ziqian and Cao Yu maintained their warm smiles as they watched Mr. Cheng's car drive away.
The two looked at each other and got into the car next to them.
"Team Leader Cao, what do you think?" Feng Ziqian asked.
"Cheng Qianfan actually doesn't care much about this matter." Cao Yu said, touching the injured half of his ear.
He felt his ears itchy, and it was probably going to rain again.
"This 'Little General Cheng' has always been a man who never gets up early without profit." Feng Ziqian chuckled and said, "The other party was able to successfully impersonate the police station, especially the ambush incident in Huaiyuan Lane yesterday. It can be seen that the other party has strong firepower and a lot of manpower."
"This is such a dangerous thing, and there is no benefit in it." Feng Ziqian said, "It's no surprise that Cheng Qianfan is not too happy to get involved."
"It's just a nice-sounding statement." He shook his head and said with a smile.
"Director Feng doesn't seem to be too disappointed." Cao Yu glanced at Feng Ziqian and said.
"Is there any?" Feng Ziqian took the cigarette handed to him by Cao Yu and smiled without saying anything.
Cao Yu was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Feng Ziqian and also laughed.
His intuition told him that Feng Ziqian should be suspicious of Cheng Qianfan.
After all, Cheng Qianfan was a participant in the redemption of Shu Jincheng from the gendarmerie, and when Shu Jincheng was kidnapped, the other party pretended to be a detective from the police station very successfully. According to the conclusion of our department's later investigation, it can almost be determined that he was a detective from the police station and did not seem to be pretending.
In this case, it is only normal for Feng Ziqian to have some doubts about Cheng Qianfan.
However, today Cheng Qianfan showed little interest in their request for help, which actually reduced Feng Ziqian's suspicion of him.
Comrade "Huo Miao" is really good at figuring out and manipulating people's minds.
……
"Brother Fan, it's Qiangui's sesame oil shop..." Haozi was driving the car, turned his head to look at Brother Fan who had a gloomy expression, and asked.
"The situation has changed." Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said, "Without my order, no contact with the Shanghai area can occur."
"Has something happened in the Shanghai area?" Haozi asked in surprise.
"The Director of Accounting and Intelligence Department, two such important and key people were arrested, isn't this considered a problem?" Cheng Qianfan snorted coldly and asked back.
Haozi could tell that Brother Fan’s tone was wrong, so he smiled awkwardly and didn’t dare to say anything else.
"I suspect Chen Gongshu has fallen into the hands of No. 76." Cheng Qianfan suddenly said.
"What?" Haozi was shocked. "How could it be?"
"Brother Fan, what did this Cao Yu reveal?" he asked.
"How is that possible?" Cheng Qianfan shook his head. "Even if they really did capture Chen Gongshu, how could they reveal such a confidential matter to me?"
"That……"
"Cao Yu is actually a very smooth talker and a very tight-lipped person." Cheng Qianfan said, "It's the person he was with."
"Feng Ziqian, Director of the Third Department of Operation 76, have you heard of this person?" he asked Haozi.
"No." Haozi shook his head. "No. 76 has Operations Units 1 and 2, but I've never heard of this Unit 3."
"This person sounded quite confident," Cheng Qianfan said. "The most important thing is that Yao Changgen was killed and the lease contracts were taken away by us. Although this person asked me to help investigate, he was not so eager to do so."
……
"Do you know what this means?" he asked Haozi.
"This means..." Haozi thought, "It means that whether Yao Changgen was killed or the information Yao Changgen had lost was not something they actually took to heart."
"Oh, right." Cheng Qianfan nodded. "You should know how important the lease contracts in Yao Changgen's hands are. Such important information was lost, but Feng Ziqian was so calm. What does this mean?"
"It means someone else has spoken up. Even without Yao Changgen, they are confident that they can deal with the Shanghai District." Haozi said, "So Brother Fan, you suspect that they have already captured Chen Gongshu. Chen Gongshu is the head of the Shanghai District. With him, the Shanghai District is almost like a naked girl."
After saying that, he thought for a moment and asked, "Brother Fan, could it be someone else, such as Zhao Qi, the director of the Shanghai District Intelligence Department who was captured by them, who spoke up?"
"No." Cheng Qianfan shook his head. "Strictly speaking, Zhao Qi's value is not as good as that of accountant Yao Changgen. The most reasonable explanation is that they have someone more valuable than Yao Changgen and he defected to the enemy."
He flicked the ash into the ashtray and said, "We have been wondering why Chen Gongshu did not receive the secret message from Boss Dai, or why he did not respond after receiving it. This is a mystery."
"Brother Fan, I understand. If Chen Gongshu has fallen into their hands, then everything can be explained." Haozi said.
"Yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded.
Just before that, when Cao Yu greeted him at the door, the two shook hands, and Cao Yu took the opportunity to put a note in his hand.
He also took the opportunity to take out the handkerchief from his pocket and put the note into his pocket.
Before leaving Chunfengdeyi Building, he went to the toilet and secretly read the note. There was one sentence written on the note: Chen Gongshu surrendered to the enemy and betrayed the country.
So, in fact, he has already learned the confidential information that Chen Gongshu has defected to the enemy, but in order to keep the source of the information confidential, he has to act in another way.
……
"Brother Fan, if your judgment is correct, and Chen Gongshu really fell into the hands of No. 76, and has even betrayed us," Haozi said, "then are we just going to stand by and watch?"
"Stupid!" Cheng Qianfan cursed, "If Chen Gongshu has already betrayed, what do you think the Shanghai District will be like now? Do you know who is not a problem?"
"Then..." Haozi was silent. "Brother Fan, we are all comrades in the anti-Japanese war. If we act faster, maybe we can save a few more people before the enemy takes action."
"Well," Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression, "According to the address on the lease contract, arrange for a smart brother to disguise himself and find a pay phone to call and alert the police."
"Okay, this is a good idea." Haozi nodded happily, "Just say Yao Changgen and Zhao Qi were arrested?"
"Hmm." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "Add one more sentence, Chen Gongshu was caught and betrayed."
"Brother Fan, this is just our guess. If that's the case, what if Commander Chen didn't surrender to the enemy..." Haozi said hesitantly.
"I don't care about him." Cheng Qianfan said, "I am also concerned about the safety of the Shanghai District and the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War. Even if Chen Gongshu did not surrender to the enemy, even if he suffered a little injustice, what's the problem?"
"Yes, yes, I understand." Haozi nodded quickly and said.
He thought to himself that this was not a matter of injustice, but since the director had given the order, he would just obey.
As long as Brother Fan doesn't sit idly by and watch what happens in the Shanghai area, everything else is fine.
……
"What's going on?" Li Cuiqun glanced at Chen Gongshu with an unfriendly expression.
Under the "close protection" of Agent No. 76, Chen Gongshu came to the Shanghai District Headquarters on Wenhe Road.
According to the established plan, under the leadership of Chen Gongshu, they would first take over the district office, then use the telephone here to contact other units, and notify the heads of each unit to come to the district headquarters on Wenhe Road for a meeting. In this way, they could capture all the middle and senior management of various units in the Shanghai district in one fell swoop.
However, they did not expect that after Chen Gongshu brought his men to the district office at Wenhe Road, they found that the district headquarters office with the sign of Dajiang Trading Company was deserted, with no one there.
Not only that, there were residual ashes of burnt documents in the brazier at the scene, and the office was in a mess, which showed how hastily people evacuated.
Chen Gongshu's face was gloomy. "Director Li, Chen is also confused now."
He said, "I know what Director Li is suspicious of, but I have not left your sight for a second since I was arrested by you. Not to mention that I have already decided to be loyal to Mr. Wang. This loyalty is evident to all. Even if Chen is dishonest, he has no chance to tip off."
"Brother Chen, don't misunderstand me." Li Cuiqun smiled, "I just don't quite understand the situation. I want to ask you to help me with some advice."
He signaled Chen Gongshu to be at ease, "Brother, I can see your loyalty to Mr. Wang, and I will never doubt it."
"There is only one possibility." Chen Gongshu said thoughtfully.
He knew that Li Cuiqun's words could not be trusted. After this incident, he had to clear himself of suspicion as soon as possible. In addition, for both public and private reasons, he had to find out the situation as soon as possible. If he could not catch all the people in Shanghai as soon as possible, his value would be greatly reduced:
These brothers in the Shanghai district are not only a stepping stone for Chen to advance, but if he can convince more brothers to turn to the light, these people will also be his greatest asset to gain a foothold in the secret service headquarters.
……
"Leaked?" Li Cuiqun frowned. "Brother Chen, where do you think the news leaked?"
"I can only say that the most likely reason is external. For example, when someone was being arrested, the news leaked from the police station, or there may even be a leak of intelligence within Unit 76," Chen Gongshu said thoughtfully.
"Mr. Chen, what you said, why can't it be that your Shanghai district discovered some clues yourself?" Wan Haiyang said unhappy when he heard what Chen Gongshu said.
He was solely responsible for the arrest of Yao Changgen, Zhao Qi and others. What Chen Gongshu said was equivalent to directly weakening the contribution of Wan Haiyang and throwing dirty water on him.
"Impossible." Chen Gongshu shook his head decisively. "I, the district chief of Shanghai, didn't receive any news or warnings, but I was arrested alive by you. Do you think there is anyone in the entire Shanghai district who is more informed than me?"
Faced with Chen Gongshu's question, Li Cuiqun, Wan Haiyang and others were speechless.
"That's not right." Dong Zhengguo suddenly said, "Then why didn't the Shanghai District Second Office get any wind of it and just took the bait and got busted by us?"
Several people looked puzzled and thoughtful.
What Dong Zhengguo said made sense. Why was it that only the district headquarters on Wenhe Road was deserted, while the second office of the district government in Shanghai District was fooled and successfully wiped out?
"Never mind." Wan Haiyang said decisively, "Director, please ask Mr. Chen to make a phone call here and notify people from other units to come here for a meeting."
"Director," Dong Zhengguo said suddenly, "Let's call from somewhere else. The place is deserted this time, and other units may already know about the situation on Wenhe Road. This will arouse suspicion."
"Okay." Li Cuiqun nodded, "Leave a few people here to guard, and the others will retreat first and find a safe place to make a phone call."
He asked Chen Gongshu, "Brother Chen, please provide the address of a safe house. We will go there and call them to gather there for a meeting."
"Okay." Chen Gongshu nodded.
……
Jingle Bell.
Just at this moment, the phone on the desk suddenly rang.
Several people immediately looked at the phone on the table.
