Cheng Qianfan looked calm and continued talking with Xiu Gongshen.
About half an hour later, He Xuelin came back with Bai Ruolan and Xiaobao.
Cheng Qianfan saw that it was getting late, so he took Ruolan and Xiaobao to say goodbye and left.
On the way home, Cheng Qianfan was thinking quickly in his mind while driving.
Yang Fuyuan was sanctioned by the Secret Service.
There was a faint smell of blood on Sanbonjiro's body.
Sanbonjiro said that there was a "small problem" in the matter of seeking the deputy chief inspector of the Central District, but it was "not a big problem" and has now been "solved."
Araki Harima led the special agents of the Special High School to dispatch urgently to carry out secret missions.
Koike Yan categorically said that Araki Harima must have made a great contribution this time. Araki could not only rely on this military merit to solve his dream of promotion to military rank in one fell swoop, he might even be personally received and praised by Masao Nishida.
This vast amount of information, like messy threads, kept rolling in Cheng Qianfan's mind.
He vaguely felt that he was about to find the thread and tie up the messy threads.
Finally, he caught the thread and had a bold guess in his mind...
…
When I passed Peng and Ou's house just now, there was no light in the house.
He didn't see the 'all's well' signal.
There was no signal warning him that important comrades were missing or arrested.
Obviously, Peng and Ou haven't come back yet, and Shao's mother is not at home either.
Cheng Qianfan was anxious.
His intuition told him that this secret operation of Shanghai Special High School was extremely harmful.
In addition, it is now close to nine o'clock in the evening, and Peng and Ou still have not returned home. Cheng Qianfan is inevitably a little uneasy:
He was inevitably worried that Araki Harima's target was Peng Yuou.
After sending Bai Ruolan and Xiaobao back to their home in Yandli, Cheng Qianfan drove back to the patrol room by himself.
On the way, he stopped the car on the side of the road and got out to smoke.
This winter in Shanghai is extremely cold.
Cheng Qianfan's fingers holding the cigarette trembled slightly.
He took several puffs, and the smoke he exhaled was quickly blown away by the cold wind.
Be calm, don't care and you will be in chaos.
Cheng Qianfan organized his thoughts again.
Under the streetlight, young Comrade Huo Miao stood by the car door, leaning slightly against the car door. His eyebrows were slightly knitted, and a snowflake fell gently and landed on his hair.
Snowing.
After calming down, Cheng Qianfan was more and more inclined to agree with his analysis and speculation just now.
The possibility that the Special High School's action is targeting the Red Party is extremely low.
Thinking of the "assassination" of Yang Fuyuan that took place in Hongkou District during the day, it is most likely that the special high school went to the Shanghai Station of the Lixingshe Secret Service.
Cheng Qianfan highly suspected that the Special High School Division had discovered extremely important clues from this case.
It may even be an important clue related to the top management of the Shanghai Station of the Secret Service.
Although there is an extremely low possibility, Cheng Qianfan is highly worried about the possibility, that is:
The Special High School has the opportunity to take this opportunity to severely damage the Shanghai Station of the Secret Service, or even catch them all in one fell swoop!
If not for this, it would not be enough for Araki Harima, who presided over the operation, to be personally commended by Masao Nishida after his success.
The Shanghai station of Lixingshe Secret Service is in danger!
All the scattered information and all the messy threads were connected by a thread called "Bold Hypothesis". When picked up, it turned out to be these ten words!
Cheng Qianfan was also shocked by his hypothesis and conclusion!
Although this was just his guess, Cheng Qianfan's heart sank, and his intuition told him that this guess was extremely likely.
The burning cigarette butt burned his hand.
Cheng Qianfan dropped his cigarette butt.
Fu took out another cigarette, held it in his mouth, and played with the lighter in his hand, but did not light it.
He is a highly confident person with strong confidence in his own analysis and judgment.
Time was running out and the situation was grim. It stands to reason that he should report to Dai Chunfeng and warn Shanghai Station from bottom to top, and then from top to bottom.
However, the problem is that all this is just his speculation, and he can't provide any substantive evidence to support his speculation.
Get in the car and start the car.
Cheng Qianfan flicked the lighter, lit the cigarette, stepped on the accelerator and drove towards Xue Huali Road.
His mind was racing.
The most important thing now is to seize all the time to investigate and verify.
The source of everything is the assassination of Yang Fuyuan!
He decided to go to the source.
Yang Fuyuan was assassinated, so what was the result - was this person dead?
Cheng Qianfan was inclined to believe that Yang Fuyuan was dead. From the chat among his subordinates, it was said that multiple gunmen opened fire at the same time. The car was smashed, and there was almost no chance that the passengers would be spared.
Some people even said with certainty that witnesses saw Yang Fuyuan's body being carried away by Japanese military police.
However, Yang Fuyuan's eldest son, Yang Qifa, found Xiu Gongshen and asked Xiu Gongshen to help find connections to ask for Yang Fuyuan's body from the Japanese. This seemed to inevitably make him suspicious.
Could it be that Yang Fuyuan is not dead?
This person was extremely lucky to escape, just like Gu Xingyi was ambushed by the Secret Service last year, but mysteriously separated from the convoy early, thus escaping.
So, Yang Fuyuan is not dead, but now he is faking his death?
Cheng Qianfan felt a headache. The two results represented two completely different directions of investigation.
If Yang Fuyuan is confirmed to be dead, it means that the news was not leaked in advance, and the direction of investigation will be from the perspective of investigating the case by the Super High School.
The most likely possibility is that an agent from the Secret Service was captured by the Special High School Section, and this person provided some important information.
And the most dangerous situation is that a certain Shanghai Station executive who organized the assassination of Yang Fuyuan was targeted by the Special High School Class, and even he himself has been captured by the Special High School Class, and even this person has confessed, and the entire Shanghai Station has been exposed. Out.
If Yang Fuyuan is not dead, it means that there is a traitor within the Secret Service. The whole case itself is a trap, a trap that attracts the Secret Service Shanghai Station to join——
It can also be explained that the traitor within the Secret Service is not of high rank and is most likely an ordinary team member participating in this operation. The purpose is to lure out a senior executive of the Shanghai Station who is responsible for this operation and then arrest this person.
kindness?
Cheng Qianfan's eyebrows moved slightly:
After this detailed analysis, no matter what the situation, the most critical person seems to be the senior executive who organized the operation at Shanghai Station!
…
"Inspector!"
"Inspector!"
Cheng Qianfan strode into the arresting hall.
The patrolmen who were on night duty put down their teacups, newspapers, Pai Gow, and playing cards and stood up one after another, saluting.
Inspector Xiao Cheng nodded slightly, entered his office, and closed the door with a bang.
All the patrolmen looked at each other. It seemed that the patrol leader was in a bad mood. Everyone should pay attention.
At this moment, the door to the inspector's office opened again.
Cheng Qianfan stuck his head out and said, "Lu Jiufan."
"arrive!"
Lu Jiufan quickly agreed and trotted over.
Cheng Qianfan took out a few French coins from his wallet and said, "Go and get some food and drinks for extra meals."
"yes!"
"Thank you, Inspector!"
"Thank you, Inspector!"
"Inspector Commander Sihai!"
All the patrolmen cheered.
At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Little monkey, come on." Cheng Qianfan shouted again.
"Here we come!" Hou Pingliang agreed, entered the office, and the door was closed.
…
"Inspector." Hou Pingliang shook his hands and stamped his feet.
"I don't know how to stand." Cheng Qianfan glared.
As he spoke, he took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer and threw it over.
Hou Pingliang caught it steadily and smiled happily.
"Did anything happen in the area when I was not in the patrol room today?" Cheng Qianfan took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth. Hou Pingliang quickly took out the match box and lit a match.
Li Hao and Hao Zai are Cheng Qianfan's top confidants.
However, everyone knows that these two people secretly help the inspector to manage the black market business, so they often go out to work and do not stay in the patrol room.
Hou Pingliang is Cheng Qianfan's eyes in the patrol room.
Hou Pingliang did not answer immediately. He was recalling and sorting out his thoughts.
He knew that the inspector was not asking about the cases that had been reported to the third patrol, but about some strange, interesting, or noteworthy things that happened in the jurisdiction.
Cheng Qianfan did not rush Hou Pingliang. The little monkey was loyal to him. He seemed to be stubborn at times, but he was actually quite careful in doing things.
This is Cheng Qianfan's way of 'investigating cases'.
He had previously speculated that the key figure was the senior executive of the Shanghai Station of the Secret Service who organized the assassination of Yang Fuyuan.
However, once he got here, there were no clues for him to continue investigating.
At this moment, Cheng Qianfan would not act blindly.
He would first understand the information he had access to. For today, he chose to understand what was happening in his jurisdiction, in order to clear his mind and avoid falling into a dead end.
At the same time, I also hope that from the information I can understand and have access to, there are no clues that can be connected to this matter.
This is the policy summarized by Cheng Qianfan himself.
As an agent whose identity is absolutely secret, the most taboo thing is to inquire too much about information and intelligence that he should not be able to inquire about and understand.
For an agent of his level, all sources of intelligence information are basically within his 'normal' access.
This is the safest approach.
It is also the most effective approach.
Yes, Cheng Qianfan thinks this is the most effective approach.
He insists on the view that the safest and most effective time for intelligence personnel to work is in the environment and field with which they are most familiar.
Taking what happened today as an example, even from the information Hou Pingliang told, he did not capture any effective intelligence information related to the "Assassination of Yang Fuyuan" case.
However, Cheng Qianfan can judge from this seemingly messy information, whether there is a fire in the backyard of his 'base area', the Third Patrol Area of the Central District, and whether he has exposed any hidden dangers.
Only when he is sure that he is safe can he consider his next move.
…
Hou Pingliang said as he thought.
Say whatever comes to mind.
This is what Cheng Qianfan has always asked of him. This way of saying what comes to mind is the most authentic and effective, and will not miss some seemingly unimportant details.
Because once the human brain thinks carefully, it will subconsciously analyze and filter some information that it considers irrelevant.
However, irrelevance is a judgment based on analysis.
Perhaps information that seemed insignificant to Hou Pingliang was extremely critical to Cheng Qianfan.
"Sanwei Heng has a bad guy who puts bugs in Dou Hua's hooves in an attempt to blackmail his boss Fan Laosan for three oceans."
"Fan Lao San called the police, and it was Lu Jiu who called the police, beat Zha San, and demanded Fan Lao San's five thousand yuan of filial piety."
"Someone was causing trouble at Qiu Dayan's gambling stall. White Russian thugs broke the legs and feet of two foreigners."
"Boss Xia went to Yuchun Creek to take a bath and got into an argument with someone. The man was beaten up and Boss Xia was compensated five hundred French currency for disturbing him."
"Xia Wenqiao? Did he have an argument with someone when he came here, or did it happen after he took a bath?" Cheng Qianfan interrupted the little monkey and asked.
"When I came," Hou Pingliang thought for a while and said, "Boss Xia was not interested, so he just stayed for a while and then left."
Cheng Qianfan secretly noted this in his mind. This thing was a bit strange. He couldn't tell what was strange at the moment, but he just felt it was a bit strange.
"Something strange happened at the Cabaret restaurant on Father Jin Road." Hou Pingliang thought for a while and said.
"What's weird?" Cheng Qianfan flicked the cigarette ashes, picked up the tea cup, blew on the tea leaves, and took a sip of tea.
"Lou Lianxiang is gone." Hou Pingliang whispered.
He had also heard that his inspector, Xiao Cheng, once had an idea for Lou Lianxiang, but because the man behind Lou Lianxiang was quite powerful, the inspector had no chance of succeeding.
"Gone?" When Cheng Qianfan heard the name, his eyes showed a strange light, and he frowned and asked immediately.
"First he said he was missing, and then he said he was not missing. It was a mistake." Hou Pingliang said, "However, my subordinates believe that Lou Lianxiang may really be missing."
"Tell me in detail." Cheng Qianfan said with an inexplicable smile on his lips.
"At first, the little maid Ajuan beside Lou Lianxiang discovered that Lou Lianxiang was missing."
"Ajuan is looking everywhere."
Hou Pingliang said whatever he thought of, and he repeated his words in some places. However, Cheng Qianfan quickly figured out the whole thing.
The little maid looked for Lou Lianxiang everywhere, and soon attracted the attention of other people including the guests.
Lou Lianxiang is the mainstay of this cabaret restaurant, and her disappearance is not a trivial matter.
The scene was chaotic.
However, soon the cabaret boss Niko Lokovsky came out and said that Miss Lou was unwell. He arranged a car to take Miss Lou back to her residence to rest. The little maid didn't know about this and talked nonsense, which made everyone worried, especially Apologize.
"Something's wrong." Cheng Qianfan exhaled a breath of smoke and shook his head.
"Yes, that's not right. There is no reason for Miss Lou to go home on her own and leave Ajuan in Cabaret." Hou Liangping said, "Many people know that Lou Lianxiang is very good to Ajuan and treats her as her own. Just like my sister, Lou Lianxiang would never leave a place like Cabaret on her own, leaving Ajuan there."
"Okay, little monkey, you are very capable. Not bad." Cheng Qianfan glanced at Hou Pingliang in surprise and said with a smile.
Hou Pingliang chuckled. He didn't dare to tell the inspector what he thought.
When he thought about it, any woman who caught the attention of the inspector would definitely not be able to escape.
Even though Lou Lianxiang is being protected now, sooner or later this woman will still be Inspector Cheng's.
