Cheng Qianfan took the message with both hands and looked at it.
He looked surprised.
This telegram is a "co-investigation report" sent by the Nantou County Police Department to Shanghai.
The cable stated that a gangster surnamed Lin from Nantou County was suspected of fleeing to Shanghai and asked the relevant departments of the Empire in Shanghai to help apprehend him.
"Section Chief." Cheng Qianfan put down the message and asked in confusion, "Capturing rural gangsters is not the job of our special high school, right?"
There was a bit of contempt and indifference in his tone.
Sanbonjiro glanced at him, and he understood the reason for Kentaro Shirayaki's attitude. It was as absurd as a police station reporting to the gendarmerie, asking the gendarmerie to help capture a chicken thief.
"Idiot." Sanbonjiro scolded, "If he were an ordinary gangster, would Treasure Island take him so seriously?"
Cheng Qianfan blinked, "Could there be something else going on in this joint investigation report?"
Seeing Sanbonjiro nodding, Cheng Qianfan showed an innocent expression:
If you didn't tell me, how would I know there was something inside?
…
"Section Chief, who is this gangster named Lin?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"After the empire occupied the island, there were three major gangsters on the island. Do you know about this?" Sanbonjiro asked.
"The section chief is referring to the three leaders of the tiger, lion, and cat rebels?" Cheng Qianfan thought for a while and asked.
"Yes, it is these three people." Sanbonjiro nodded.
"Could this gangster named Lin be related to Shaomao Lin back then?" Cheng Qianfan asked with a thought in his heart.
Treasure Island has been a sacred and indivisible part of China's territory since ancient times.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan sent Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi to lead a fleet of more than 10,000 people and discovered the treasure island. It has been more than 1,700 years since then.
Since then, Treasure Island has become part of China’s sacred territory:
Penghu in the Southern Song Dynasty belonged to Fujian Road.
In the Yuan and Ming dynasties, an inspection department was set up in Penghu.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong regained the treasure island.
In the 23rd year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the former Qing Dynasty, Baodao Prefecture was established and belonged to Fujian Province.
In the 11th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the former Qing Dynasty, Baodao Province was established, and Liu Mingchuan was appointed as the first governor of Baodao.
During his tenure in Taiwan, Liu Mingchuan carried out a series of Westernization reforms such as training the new army and building railways; he opened coal mines, established telecommunications, developed shipping, promoted trade, and developed education, which promoted the progress of Taiwan's modern industry, commerce, and defense.
After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1899, the Qing Dynasty was defeated, and Liu Mingchuan died of grief and anger.
The bad news reached Baodao, and the whole island was sad and angry.
With the oath of "I hope everyone will die in battle and lose power, I will never give up power", Baodao began its epic history of struggle against the Japanese occupation.
In the 21st year of Emperor Guangxu's reign in the former Qing Dynasty, Japanese troops landed at the bottom of Dong'ao, Keelung.
In order to defend their motherland's territory, the heroic Baodao people used inferior equipment to fight against the Japanese invading troops for nearly five months, killing and wounding 32,000 Japanese troops.
Nearly half of the Guards Division, Japan's most elite force and the main force in the invasion of Taiwan, was wiped out. The division commander, Lieutenant General Prince Noku, and the brigade commander, Major General Yamane Nobunari, were seriously injured and killed.
However, due to the disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves, the rebels were isolated and helpless, ran out of ammunition and food, suffered heavy casualties, and ultimately failed to defend Taiwan against the Japanese.
After being persuaded by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the anti-Japanese leaders Qiu Fengjia and Liu Yongfu had to shed tears one after another.
After Qiu Fengjia and Liu Yongfu returned to the mainland, the anti-Japanese struggle in Baodao entered the period of "Three Fierce Anti-Japanese":
The three anti-Japanese leaders, Ke Tiehu, Jian Dashi, and Lin Shaomao, were known as the Three Fierce Anti-Japanese at that time, and the Japanese scornfully called them the three bandit leaders of Baodao.
…
In the twenty-fourth year of Guangxu's reign, the Japanese army used a soft policy and used traitors to lure Ke Tiehu to surrender. Ke Tiehu, who was seriously ill, was surrounded by the Japanese army. In order to save his men, he was forced to sign an equal peace treaty with the Japanese army. Two years later, Ke Tiehu, who was seriously ill, died of worry and anger. .
Two years later, the Japanese army drove the squires to persuade Ke Tiehu's old troops to surrender. Thirty-eight rebel troops, totaling nearly 6,000 people, went down the mountain for peace talks. They were surrounded by the renegade Japanese army and all were killed.
All the remaining members of Ke Tiehu were killed.
In the same year, another anti-Japanese rebel army led by Lin Shaomao was also murdered by the Japanese army.
Lin Shaomao's troops were elusive and attacked the Japanese army everywhere. They were regarded as a serious problem by Gentaro Kodama, the "Governor" of Treasure Island.
That year, Lin Shaomao celebrated his mother's birthday. His fellow villagers and traitors Su Yunying (Su Zhenchang's grandfather) and Su Yunti (Su Zhenchang's uncle) betrayed the address of Lin Shaomao's headquarters to the Japanese army and personally led the way.
The Japanese army entered Lin Shaomao's anti-Japanese base area. None of Lin Shaomao's family and hundreds of subordinates surrendered, and they all died for the country.
Prior to this, another one of the three fierce anti-Japanese warriors, Jian Dashi, had also died.
In the 21st year of Guangxu's reign, Baodao was ceded to Japan and the Japanese army occupied Baodao. Jian Dashi rebelled in Tamsui and led the resistance against Japan for three years. The Japanese army entered the mountains for encirclement and suppression. Jian Dashi was unable to gain a foothold on the treasure island and sneaked back to Zhangzhou, Fujian.
The Japanese invaders coerced the Qing government and demanded the capture of Jian DaShi.
The Qing government obeyed its orders and sent troops to capture Jian DaShi.
Jian Dashi knew that he would die and asked the Qing government to kill him in Zhangzhou. He did not want to die on the treasure island occupied by the Japanese.
The Qing government ignored it and handed Jian Dashi to the Japanese. The Japanese tortured Jian Dashi in every possible way and then killed him in public.
After Jian Dashi was killed, the whole country was shocked and all people were angry.
Qian Zhenqun, a martial arts scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, wrote a poem with grief and indignation: "When the heroes shed their blood, the sea tide mountains embraced the weeping dragons. In the history of the country, loyalty and righteousness were passed down. Don't forget the great lion of Taiwan Jian."
Shanghai's Shenbao once commented: "Taiwan righteous citizen Jian Dashi strives for China and all Taiwan. He is the most ambitious person in China."
Tigers, lions, and cats have all been dead for more than thirty years, but their majesty lives on forever. They are still remembered by the people on the island who are unwilling to be slaves to the country's subjugation. There are anti-Japanese rebels who still call themselves the remnants of the three fierce anti-Japanese forces.
…
The "Associated Investigation Report" stated that the gangster was named Lin, and the three books specifically mentioned the three major "bandit leaders" in Baodao. Cheng Qianfan immediately thought of Lin Shaomao.
"This person's surname is Lin Mingzhen, and he claims to be Lin Shaomao's grandnephew." Sanbonjiro said.
"It shouldn't be." Cheng Qianfan said doubtfully, "I heard that when the imperial army captured Lin Shaomao's stronghold, in order to eliminate the root cause, they even spared babies in swaddling clothes and pregnant women. , how could a fish slip through the net?”
"Lin Zhen claimed that his parents happened to be away from the Lin bandit's den, so he escaped punishment from the empire. The man and woman later gave birth to him." Sanbonjiro said, "This person is quite capable of bewitching and is good at inciting mobs."
He took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Cheng Qianfan.
This is a confidential file. In March last year, a "mob" attacked a Japanese police station in Nantou County. Two Japanese police officers were shattered and many others were injured.
In the following more than a year, the Nantou Military Police arrested and killed more than 30 people.
The latest time was a few months ago, when four people were arrested after being identified by "surrenderers."
Among these four people, one was arrested and killed on the spot, and the two were later tortured and refused to reveal anything, and were eventually killed.
Another person was tortured but could not confess, and confessed that Lin Zhen, the 'bandit leader', is currently hiding in Shanghai.
"Currently, Baodao has announced that only three people were arrested in this operation and did not mention the other person. Therefore, Lin Zhen and his followers did not know that their hiding place was exposed." Mimotojiro said.
"The section chief suspects that Lin Zhen is hiding in the French Concession?" Cheng Qianfan thought for a moment and asked.
"The French Concession, the Public Concession, or even the Chinese Concession are all possible." Sanbonjiro said, "Your mission is to secretly search for this person in the French Concession. You must capture all Lin Zhen and his gang."
"Yes!" Cheng Qianfan saluted respectfully, and then asked, "Section Chief, my subordinates still don't know the name of the gangster Lin Zhen's headquarters. What is the name of their organization?"
"The Chinese treasure island is returned to the clan society." Sanbonjiro said.
"Asshole!" Cheng Qianfan was angry and gritted his teeth, "The treasure island belongs to the Japanese Empire. They want to return to the clan. Where will they go? China will be occupied by the Japanese Empire!"
"So, the only way to deal with these stubborn resisters is to destroy their bodies, and everything will be quiet." Sanbonjiro said.
"Yes, Section Chief Mingjian." Cheng Qianfan gave a thumbs up, then he put down the document in his hand and frowned, "Is there any further information about Lin Zhen and his gang members?"
"No." Sanbonjiro shook his head, "The person who told Lin Zhen's whereabouts had not seen Lin Zhen, but he told another story."
"What's going on?" Cheng Qianfan asked overjoyed.
"This person said that Zheng Qingshui's accomplice Sheng Aihua is also hiding in Shanghai, and Lin Zhen has a close relationship with this person." Sanbonjiro said.
"Zheng Qingshui?" Cheng Qianfan looked thoughtful, "Search, who is this person? He sounds familiar, but I can't remember it at the moment."
"The Keelung explosion." Sanbonjiro reminded.
"It turns out it's him." Cheng Qianfan showed a surprised expression, "This person actually has accomplices to escape?"
Three years ago, Zheng Qingshui, a patriotic young man from Baodao, sneaked into the Keelung Police Station in Japan alone and blew up some buildings, injuring two Japanese. This was known as the "Keelung Explosion."
"Now, we have reason to suspect that Zheng Qingshui's associates and Lin Zhen's subordinates have merged." Sanbonjiro said with a serious expression, "These people are extremely hostile to the empire and are a hidden danger to the security and stability of the island. They must all be captured. , destroy!”
"Yes!" Cheng Qianfan quickly stood up with his feet together, bowing his head respectfully.
…
After leaving Jilaihuoxing East Street, Cheng Qianfan sat on the rickshaw, lost in thought.
'China Treasure Island Guizong Society'!
This name touched his heart extremely.
It has been more than forty years since Treasure Island fell into enemy hands!
Return to the clan!
This is the lifelong long-cherished wish of Taiwanese patriots such as Lin Zhen!
The sound of gunfire from Huajie and Hongkou was in his ears. Cheng Qianfan raised his eyes and took a deep breath.
What happened to Baodao is currently the biggest warning to all Chinese people, including Baodao.
'Chinese Treasure Island Returns to Zongshe', Lin Zhen and others hope that the treasure island will one day return to the embrace of the motherland.
Countless patriots, including Cheng Qianfan himself, are now willing to sacrifice their lives and blood to resist the aggression of Japanese imperialism:
Cheng Qianfan did not want his next generation to be forced to secretly name the resistance organization Nian Zong!
He remembered that Peng Yuou once said that many universities, including National Fudan Public School, were secretly printing history books and protecting them with great care.
Everyone is resisting with tragic and determined hearts:
Worried about the subjugation of the country and the extinction of the species!
…
The sound of gunfire in the Chinese community did not affect the hustle and bustle of the concession too much.
Terracotta Road, safe house.
Cheng Qianfan stood by the window, listening to the shouts of the vendors downstairs, the scolding of the aunt, and the mother-in-law pointing at her husband's nose and cursing in the street. The ashamed and angry husband covered his face and hid in the house.
very nice.
He said in his heart.
I looked at the time on my watch, it was a quarter past fifteen in the afternoon.
This is the time agreed with the Nanjing headquarters for receiving and sending reports.
Cheng Qianfan went to the back bedroom, closed the door, and locked it.
Sit behind your desk, turn on the radio, and put on your headphones.
On the table was a loaded Mauser pistol and two German hand grenades.
Didi didi.
After a while.
Cheng Qianfan took off his headphones and quickly translated the message.
The call told two things.
First, Dai Chunfeng sent a telegram, ordering the Shanghai Special Intelligence Group to transfer the intelligence of the Jiangkou Special Operations Team to the Shanghai Security Command, which would arrange for military police to be responsible for clearing the Jiangkou Special Operations Team.
The telegram sent the contact information with the Shanghai Garrison Headquarters.
For the sake of safety, Dai Chunfeng specifically told "Mr. Xiao" that he did not need to meet with the other party in person, but could arrange for someone to do so.
The second thing was that Dai Chunfeng responded to Cheng Qianfan's previous inquiry about Eguchi Hideya from the headquarters.
The Shanghai Station of the Secret Service responded to this matter by saying that Eiichi Kagezu was assassinated last year during Operation Love, and Hideo Eguchi was also seriously injured.
Subsequently, this person was sent back to China for treatment by the Japanese side, and contact was lost.
Recently I learned that Hideya Eguchi has returned to Shanghai, and the Shanghai Station is preparing to contact Hideya Eguchi again:
For safety reasons, no contact action has been taken at this time.
Cheng Qianfan took the telegram, although the Shanghai Station's explanation of the matter seemed reasonable.
Eguchi was seriously injured, returned to Japan, and lost contact with Eguchi. So, Shanghai Station did not know what happened to Eguchi after losing contact, and did not dare to contact him rashly.
At first glance, it seems quite reasonable.
However, Cheng Qianfan immediately judged that there was something wrong here.
Because from beginning to end, the answer from Shanghai Station did not involve one person: Keiko!
In "Operation Love", although Keiko did not actually "appear", this woman played a crucial role in this operation.
After the "Sorrow" operation was over, Cheng Qianfan made some manipulations and collected the money from Keiko's "Chinese husband" family, pretending that he had arranged for someone to kill Keiko "without anyone noticing" at the detention center.
However, in private, he secretly 'released' Keiko and handed Keiko over to the Shanghai Station of the Secret Service, using her to control and blackmail Hideya Eguchi.
In this reply from the Shanghai Station of the Secret Service, there was no mention of Keiko, who played such an important role. There must be something strange in it.
Cheng Qianfan immediately thought of calling back to the Nanjing headquarters to report the matter to Dai Chunfeng.
However, just as he was drafting the telegram and preparing to send it, he put down the pencil in his hand and without hesitation lit the telegram draft directly and put it into the brazier.
How could Dai Chunfeng not know about things that he could think of?
