Cheng Qianfan's eyes stayed on the headline of this edition of the newspaper:
There was a great victory in Wuhan yesterday, but Shen Huaiming did not return from the air battle!
Thirteen words were like a knife cutting into his heart and lungs!
His chest was heaving heavily due to shortness of breath.
Cheng Qianfan opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
He opened the drawer, took out the cigarette case, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
The cigarette trembled because the lips were trembling.
He picked up the gold lighter on the table and flicked it several times before successfully lighting the cigarette in his mouth.
"Yesterday afternoon at around 2:30, Japanese planes broke into the sky over Wuhan in a flying goose formation.
Chinese and Japanese fighter planes fought desperately in the air.
The national army's ace pilot Shen Huaiming flew a fighter plane to meet the enemy.
I saw him rolling up and down, fighting left and right. Not long after the battle started, Shen Huaiming successfully shot down an enemy plane.
However, he also became the target of enemy aircraft attacks and was surrounded by four or five enemy aircraft.
Soon, the plane piloted by Shen Huaiming was hit by a bullet and burst into flames. The control seemed to be inoperable, and the plane plummeted down with smoke.
The author speculates that Shen Huaiming may have been shot and injured at this time.
However, if he chooses to abandon the plane and parachute at this moment, there is still a possibility of survival.
The soldiers and civilians in Wuhan saw an unforgettable scene. Shen Huaiming tightly controlled the plane and slammed into the enemy plane.
In a loud noise, the two planes rolled into the Yangtze River with fire dragons.
The heroic Shen Huaiming and his enemies died together!
Soldiers and civilians by the Wuhan River burst into tears.
The soul is back! Guard my sky!
The soul is back! Defend my country!
The soul is back! Protect our people!
How majestic, Lieutenant Shen Huaiming! "
…
Cheng Qianfan held a cigarette between his right fingers and supported his head on his elbow.
He was breathing rapidly.
His heart ached terribly.
very painful!
Third brother!
Huai Ming!
The third brother is handsome, has extraordinary abilities, sings beautifully, can play the harmonica, and plays the erhu very well!
The third brother who said he would hold a wedding with Lu Yun’s siblings after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War!
Such an excellent third brother!
Martyred for his country? !
Cheng Qianfan's fingers holding the cigarette were trembling!
His heart was also trembling and heartbroken!
…
In Cheng Qianfan's mind, he recalled the last time the two met, which was two years ago.
Huai Ming came to Shanghai to visit him.
He told him that he was about to embark on the battlefield and fight to the death with the Japanese invaders to protect the sky of his motherland.
He heard the will to die in Huai Ming's words!
Huai Ming is determined and prepared to sacrifice his life for the country at any time!
This made him both relieved and worried.
Huai Ming was sitting on the rickshaw. He stepped forward and held Huai Ming's hand, held it tightly, and said to him: Live! Huai Ming, you must live!
Huai Ming just smiled like that, showing his white teeth, and said to him, "Then it depends on whether King Yama will accept me or not."
Cheng Qianfan still can't forget his brother's smile at that time:
This is contempt for the invaders and calmness towards death!
He is so calm and calm in the face of sacrifice!
As the rickshaw drove away, Huai Ming's voice floated over, "Brother Fan, I leave the house to you!"
The cigarette gradually turned into ashes and the ashes fell.
There was the sound of people walking in the corridor.
Cheng Qianfan stood up, turned on the faucet, washed his face, and quickly dried it with a dry towel.
He turned over the pages of the newspaper, folded it, and threw it on the desk.
The gramophone was turned on.
Put in a vinyl record.
This is cheerful music.
Cheng Qianfan sat at his desk, took out a cigar from the drawer, and trimmed it slowly.
His crossed legs trembled and trembled with the cheerful notes.
…
Hou Pingliang knocked on the door and came in to report.
"Brother Fan, four of the six people in Sodia Ballroom have been released," Hou Pingliang said.
"Which four?" Cheng Qianfan turned the lighter wheel, lit the cigar, and asked.
Hou Pingliang named the four people.
Cheng Qianfan noticed that Luo Mingyang, who was suspected by Haozi to be a member of the Red Party, but finally judged that he was not a member of the Red Party, had been redeemed.
"Very good." Cheng Qianfan nodded and took a puff of the cigar. Perhaps the cigar was too strong and he choked, causing him to cough violently.
"Brother Fan, are you okay?" Hou Pingliang hurried over and patted Cheng Qianfan's back. Brother Fan almost coughed out tears and runny nose.
"It's okay." Cheng Qianfan took out his handkerchief, wiped his eyes and nose, glanced at the cigar in his hand, and muttered something like 'too strong'.
"The family members of the remaining two people said they would raise the guarantee fees as soon as possible." Hou Pingliang said.
"The guarantee fee will be increased by 30%." Cheng Qianfan said calmly.
What surprised him was that Chang Shenyi was not redeemed immediately.
He didn't know what happened behind this, but this did not prevent the greedy 'Deputy Inspector Cheng' from temporarily increasing the price.
"Understood." Hou Ping nodded.
After leaving the deputy chief inspector's office and closing the door behind him, Hou Pingliang heard Brother Fan humming a tune, which was the same Western tune that was playing on the gramophone just now.
"Brother Monkey, congratulations on getting rich." A familiar policeman came over to say hello. Hearing the singing in the deputy chief inspector's office, he winked and said, "Deputy General Cheng is in a good mood."
…
At noon.
Cheng Qianfan drove out of the patrol room.
Honolulu Road.
Cheng Qianfan was wandering in the garden, with the melodious sound of the piano in his ears.
This is a private music school.
Bai Ruolan works as a music teacher here.
Ruolan, who was teaching the children, saw her husband in the yard. A beautiful smile bloomed on her face and she made a gesture that it was not time for the get out of class to end yet.
Cheng Qianfan smiled and nodded, indicating that he was not in a hurry and would wait outside.
There are many rhododendrons planted in the garden.
Now is the flowering season of rhododendrons.
Looking at it, the azaleas are colorful, including red, cyan, blue and purple, like rainbows.
Cheng Qianfan then thought of the sky.
"Find an empty flowerpot." Cheng Qianfan said to the school administrator.
Deputy Chief Inspector Cheng spoke, and the bald middle-aged man naturally went to work diligently. Soon, he brought a flower pot filled with soil.
In addition to the flower pot, I also brought a flower hoe.
"Thank you." Cheng Qianfan nodded with satisfaction.
After being praised by the famous Mr. Cheng, the man's face shone.
Yes, the former Inspector Xiao Cheng has now become Mr. Xiao Cheng.
After Cheng Qianfan was promoted to deputy chief inspector, this name began to appear and spread quickly.
Mr. Xiao Cheng not only refers to his age, but also refers to the deputy chief inspector, which is different from Mr. Jin Kemu and Jin.
Cheng Qianfan took the empty flowerpot and flower hoe and returned to the garden.
He carefully transplanted several rhododendrons.
When Bai Ruolan came out of class, she saw her husband holding a flowerpot with azaleas in full bloom.
"Why do you remember taking care of flowers and plants?" Bai Ruolan came up and took her husband's arm and asked casually.
"It looked bright and festive just now." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "I fell in love with it."
Back home, Cheng Qianfan held the flowerpot and went to the study on the second floor.
He put the flowers in front of the window.
He stood in front of the window and looked at the flowers. The azaleas were in full bloom, blooming enthusiastically and unrestrainedly.
Bai Ruolan came up with a small kettle and watered the azaleas. She felt that her husband started to like flowers and plants, which was a good thing. Flowers and plants were alive and beautiful.
"Ruolan, do you know what the flower language of azalea is?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Warm and unrestrained." Bai Ruolan said with a smile.
Cheng Qianfan nodded and praised, "My wife knows everything."
Bai Ruolan glared at her husband, "I'm going to cook. Xiaobao will be out of school soon."
Cheng Qianfan turned to look at the pot of azaleas, and said in his heart that the flower language of azaleas should be sacrifice and victory!
During lunch, Cheng Qianfan seemed to be in high spirits and drank a few more glasses of wine.
Bai Ruolan made a sobering soup and put it on the bedside. She touched her husband's forehead to confirm that he had no fever, and then took Xiaobao out.
Bai Ruolan, who was walking in the alley, turned to look at her house.
Although Cheng Qianfan's mood was very good, he was even carefree and carefree about flowers and plants.
However, Bai Ruolan was familiar with her husband, and she could feel Cheng Qianfan's hidden sadness.
She said nothing.
If he wants to drink, then drink.
If he wants to raise flowers and plants, then go and raise them.
If he wanted things to be business as usual, that would be it.
All she can do is stay with him like this!
After his wife and Xiaobao left, Cheng Qianfan sat up from the bed and sat in a daze in the empty room.
That day, this extremely strong lurker buried his head in the pillow without making a sound. When he raised his head again, the pillow cover was already wet.
…
Lu Xinge stood by the window sill for a long time.
It seems that he is admiring the scenery outside the window.
However, the windows were closed and the curtains were drawn.
This house is not big, except for a bed, a desk, a chair, and a washbasin cabinet, there is nothing extra.
There is a newspaper on the desk.
The page lying on the page is the huge headline: "Yesterday's great victory in Wuhan, but Shen Huaiming did not return from the air battle."
There was a circle of cigarette butts scattered on the ground.
Lu Xinge touched his body, took out the last cigarette from the flat cigarette case, and lit it with a match.
He took a sharp breath, choking and making him cough repeatedly.
Well done, Huai Ming!
He said in his heart.
Then, the corners of his eyes became wet again, and he opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Lu Xingge opened the curtains and looked outside, at the sky outside: Huai Ming, my brother Huai Ming!
There was a sound in the sky, the whistle of a flying pigeon.
…
"Sir, wasn't the price agreed upon? Why has the price increased again?" Qiu Xing said, wiping her tears with a frightened and helpless expression.
"Yesterday's price is yesterday's, and today's price is today's." Lu Jiu glanced at the little woman. The woman was very beautiful. The most important thing was that the pear blossoms looked like rain, which really made people pity her.
He now suspected that Deputy Chief Inspector Cheng's temporary price increase was not just because he wanted to make more money. Maybe he learned that Chang Shenyi's wife was such a delicate little lady, so Mr. Cheng started other things. Thoughts.
Qiu Xing left crying.
The money she brought was not enough to ransom him.
He hailed a rickshaw at the entrance of the central patrol house. Qiu Xing took the car through several alleys and got off at the entrance of an alley.
Then, after walking some distance, she hailed a rickshaw.
Repeatedly.
This woman changed into four rickshaws in total, and even took a detour back and forth, and finally got into a car on the side of a relatively quiet road.
"Team leader." Qiu Xing bowed his head and saluted, and said to a young man.
"The person was not released?" Eguchi Ying also frowned and asked.
"The patrol room temporarily increased the price by 30%, and we don't have enough money." Qiu Xing said angrily, "Before, I only heard that Cheng Qianfan was extremely greedy, but this time I really experienced it."
"This person is not only greedy, but also lustful." Eguchi Ying also glanced at Qiu Xing, "Maybe I didn't think well enough when I sent you to redeem people."
"Team leader, you mean that Cheng Qianfan is attracted to me?" Qiu Xing raised her head, not angry, but with a hint of excitement in her eyes.
"Maybe." Eguchi Hide also saw the expression of this female subordinate and snorted in his heart. This woman was temporarily seconded from the Mitsui Kaikan. She was more like a geisha than an agent.
His expression didn't change much, and he continued to ask, "Have you seen Mr. Nakazawa today?"
"No." Qiu Xing shook her head, "The patrol office said that after collecting the security fee, they can meet and release him at the same time."
"You said before that the patrol room arrested a total of six people in the dance hall?" Eguchi Hideya asked thoughtfully.
"Yes, including Mr. Zhongze, there are six people in total." Qiu Xing nodded.
"Among these six people, how many have been released on guarantee and how many are still in custody?" Eguchi Hideya asked.
"This..." Qiu Xing was stunned. Looking at Eguchi Hideya's cold eyes, her body trembled, "This is a subordinate who neglected his duty!"
"You are very beautiful, and your body is your weapon. That's right." Eguchi Hideya grabbed the woman's chin and said in a serious tone, "But remember, seducing with sex is a trail after all. Stupid women don't have it. Valuable, smart and beautiful women are what the empire needs."
"Hai!"
"Go and check." Eguchi Hide also looked at the front seat and said in a deep voice to the co-pilot's men, "How many people have been released and how many are still detained?"
"For those who have been released, how much is the bond fee?"
"Have the security fees for those who are still in custody been increased?"
"Check it out!" Eguchi Hideya said coldly.
"Hai!"
The car stopped on the side of the road, and the agent in the passenger seat got out of the car and quickly disappeared into an alley.
Eguchi Ying also looked at Qiu Xing, who was sitting upright and silent. He took out his wallet, took out a wad of money, and handed it over.
Qiu Xing looked at the pile of money in front of her, greed flashed in her eyes, but she didn't dare to pick it up.
"Take it, this is an order." Eguchi Hideya said.
"Yes!" Qiu Xing took the wad of money.
"You will get off the bus in front and go to the department store later." Eguchi Hideya said in a gentle tone, "Buy some gifts, keep one for yourself and give the other to others."
"Who does the team leader want to give a gift to?" Qiu Xing asked, feeling a little disappointed at the same time. She thought this wad of money was all for herself.
"Give it to Miss Tian." Eguchi Hideya said calmly.
After hearing this, Qiu Xing's expression immediately changed.
