Li Hao got out of the car midway.
Cheng Qianfan drove the car with the window halfway down, and the cold wind blew in and swept over his face.
Crunch!
A sudden brake.
The car stopped on the side of the road.
Cheng Qianfan got out of the car.
The street lights were dim.
People returning late passed by in a hurry.
A car drove by and dropped half an apple. A little beggar flew up to catch it like a fish, showing a surprised smile.
Then, he looked around cautiously, put the apple in his pocket, and ran into the alley deep in the night.
A young woman who looked like a student walked past in a hurry.
Cheng Qianfan looked at her back.
His eyes were lowered.
"I'm sorry, sister." He said in his heart.
His heart ached terribly.
Without protecting you, you will not be able to rest in peace even after your tragic death!
sorry!
…
"One more bowl." Cheng Qianfan wiped his mouth, sighed happily, and handed the porcelain bowl to Bai Ruolan.
Seeing Cheng Qianfan eating happily, Bai Ruolan was filled with joy.
I ate preserved egg and thin meat porridge again one night.
While Bai Ruolan was washing the dishes, Cheng Qianfan leaned against the kitchen door frame and looked at his wife with warm eyes.
The two chatted casually, chatting about Xiaobao's homework results and interesting things about the two of them in the nursing home when they were young.
The light from the incandescent lamp shone down on the two of them, casting a touch of warmth.
Return to the study.
Cheng Qianfan calmed down and thought about things.
He was thinking about his evening conversation with Sanbonjiro.
His intuition told him that Sanbonjiro had long known about He Guan's return to Shanghai, followed and investigated He Guan, and may even have followed up and investigated Jin Kemu. There must be someone behind it.
When he asked Sanbonjiro about who was behind the Annan patrol investigation, Sanbonjiro did not answer.
Instead, he turned to talk to him about the action taken by the Super High School Division against the Party Affairs Investigation Office.
Sanbonjiro really didn't need to answer the questions of his subordinate, so there was no problem with this turn of events.
However, he then tentatively mentioned whether Tekko would take action against Qin Detai.
Sanbonjiro said that it was temporarily suitable to take action against Qin Detai, and also mentioned that in order to take action against Qin Detai, he must first remove Qin Detai from the position of chief inspector of the Central Patrol Room.
When Cheng Qianfan heard Sanbonjiro's unintentional words, he immediately made a guess:
He understood Sanbonjiro's character. This person always made decisions before taking action. Sanbon's words mentioned that he would remove Tan Detai from his position as chief inspector, which showed that it was very likely that Sanbonjiro was already taking action.
Tracking He Guan is part of taking action against Qin Detai.
…
Yes, it seems that He Guan is being followed, but Jin Kemu is implicated.
However, Cheng Qianfan believed that this was a signal that the Japanese wanted to attack Tan Detai.
It is actually not difficult to attack Tan Detai, as long as the Japanese side provides the evidence that Qin Detai is the deputy director of the Shanghai District of the National Party Affairs Investigation Office, such as the confessions of the Party Affairs Investigation Office personnel arrested by the Special Higher Education Section to the French Concession, Tan Detai's The position of chief inspector cannot be kept.
The reason why the Japanese did not provide this evidence to the French Concession.
They were worried about Jin Kemu.
Once Qin Detai is dismissed.
The person most likely to succeed Tan Detai as the chief inspector of the Central Police Station is the current deputy chief inspector Jin Kemu.
Jin Kemu, on the other hand, has always behaved in a more hostile manner.
This is what the Japanese do not want to see.
With Qin Detai resigning, competition for the position of Inspector General is bound to arise.
However, this is an unexpected situation.
It is estimated that many people will not have time to operate. Then, the Japanese side has been prepared. They have caught everyone off guard and will actively mobilize pro-Japanese elements who are qualified to serve as the inspector of the Central Police Station to win this position.
Cheng Qianfan speculated that Sanbonjiro's intention was to get rid of Qin Detai's position as chief inspector and suddenly force himself to get rid of Jin Kemu's deputy chief inspector, or at the very least, to cause Jin Kemu to lose his bid for the central patrol office. Qualifications for the office of Chief Inspector.
As for the current Jin Kemu, he had no idea that Qin Detai would be deposed by the Japanese, so he couldn't see the situation behind it for a while.
If Jin Kemu knew about Qin Detai, with Jin Kemu's shrewdness and sophistication, he would naturally be able to figure out a few clues.
Cheng Qianfan tapped his index finger lightly on the table.
Although it was only his unilateral speculation, the entire chain was very clear and it was a more reasonable guess.
So, who will the Japanese choose to replace Tan Detai as the chief inspector of the Central Police Station?
Several names flashed through his mind.
The chief inspectors and deputy chief inspectors of other district patrol houses have the best chance of getting involved in the position of chief inspector of the central patrol house.
Petain district?
Xiafei District?
Mailan District?
In addition, he is still thinking about whether he should secretly send a message to Jin Kemu through some channel?
After all, having Jin Kemu, a person with a tough attitude towards Japan, in the Central District was extremely useful. He could secretly operate through Jin Kemu for many things that Cheng Qianfan was not suitable to do.
Suddenly, Cheng Qianfan thought of a possibility.
The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was feasible.
In other words, this possibility and the huge gains it brings are extremely attractive to him.
…
night.
In the dark night sky, stars twinkled.
The dog barked first.
Soon, the dog stopped whining.
Li Aquan, his mother-in-law, and children were awakened.
The mother-in-law was so frightened that she hugged the child tightly and hid in the corner, shaking like chaff.
Li Aquan gently got out of bed and came to the window. With his fingers stained with saliva, he gently poked the window paper and leaned in to take a look.
I saw figures shaking outside, and groups of people moved quietly in the dark, passing by the window in formation.
It’s over!
Li Aquan was frightened.
He quickly ran to the stove and spread a handful of pot ashes on the faces of his mother-in-law and daughter.
He found a machete in the dark and held it firmly in his hand.
The village is next to the main road leading to the county seat, and there have been constant wars over the years.
Every time there is a military encounter, it is a disaster for ordinary people.
Apart from soldiers, the most numerous ones are bandits.
Japanese soldiers came again.
The Japanese are not human beings. They set fire to houses and kill people. His eleven-year-old girl came back from cutting firewood at the end of last year and met Japanese soldiers...
Li Aquan's wrists were stiff and his body was stiff. He was worried that his home would be broken into at some point.
After a pack of cigarettes, there was no movement outside.
He dared to go to the window and look over, but there was no one outside.
Li Aquan rubbed his eyes and looked again, but there was still no one.
He didn't dare to open the door and look.
The family hid in the house and didn't know when they fell asleep.
Its daybreak.
Li Aquan opened the door and saw his neighbors who were as doubtful as him.
The street is quiet.
No one's family was harmed.
No cattle or sheep were taken.
Not a single house was burned.
Nothing is missing.
Even the half-bag of rice bran that a neighbor had left out to dry in the house was still there.
Everyone looked at each other and asked each other, "Did we really go to war last night?"
what is that?
Someone shouted.
Only then did everyone notice that there were writings on many walls.
Li Aquan was proficient in writing, so everyone asked him to read it out.
"Down with Japanese imperialism!"
"Swear to the death and not be a slave to the country's subjugation!"
"Fight to the end!"
"Long live the Chinese nation!"
And 'kill the devils'.
Li Ahquan could see that the three characters "kill the Japanese" were different from the other characters. The characters were ugly, as if they were written by an illiterate person. However, the characters were very big, and the strokes were like being carved with a knife. General, very blunt. If you write such words in school, you will be slapped on the palm by the teacher.
"Who wrote this?" someone asked.
"It's the New Fourth Army!" Li Aquan said. He pointed to the words behind these words, which were signed, saying 'New Fourth Army'!
"Who are the New Fourth Army?" someone asked again.
Li Aquan shook his head, he didn't know either.
"He must be a good soldier, right?" he asked in his mind.
Then this question mark turned into an exclamation point in his heart. No people were killed, no houses were burned, no food was robbed, no livestock were captured, and no women were raped. This is not a good soldier!
