Hao Zai yelled angrily and kicked the "first mate" a few more times.
All the patrol officers are also very thoughtful.
After finally catching him alive, if this guy jumped off the building and died, the credit he received would be halved immediately, and he might even be criticized instead——
This guy is most likely related to the assassination of "Mr. Xiao Cheng". The living are naturally more useful than the dead.
Hao Zai waved his hand and signaled everyone to quickly escort the "first officer" back to the central patrol room on Xue Huali Road.
…
No. 22, Xue Huali Road, Central Patrol Room.
"Mr. Xiao Cheng" stood at the steps, smoking silently.
Behind him were Lu Hu, deputy inspector of the third patrol, and Yuan Kaizhou, chief of the first patrol.
The headlights of the military truck cut through the rain and fog and drove into the large yard of the patrol house.
"Go and have a look." Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice.
Datulu immediately held up a black umbrella, and the two of them walked down the steps and headed towards Junka.
Yuan Kaizhou glanced at the deputy chief inspector who was leading the way, smiled, threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the muddy water, refused the umbrellas of his subordinates, and walked over holding an umbrella.
"Dead?" Cheng Qianfan glanced at the man who was lifted out of the car and asked.
This is a man who looks to be in his thirties, pale, motionless and with his eyes closed.
"After being robbed twice, I fainted now." Hao Zai reported.
Cheng Qianfan bent down and stretched out his hand, and one of his men handed over the flashlight.
He rolled the "first mate's" eyelids and looked at the area where he was shot, as if to confirm the injury.
"Mr. Xiao Cheng" frowned, stood up and handed the flashlight to Lu Hu.
Da Toulu quickly bent down and checked, "Inspector, there is too much blood loss. I am afraid that the person will not be able to survive the torture now. He must be sent to the hospital for rescue."
Cheng Qianfan frowned, a little irritated.
Then, he gave the "first officer" a cold look and said to Da Toulu, "You personally send the person to the police hospital. The person must be monitored."
"Yes!" Datou Lu didn't dare to neglect and waved his hand, "Send him to the hospital."
"Zhong Guohao, come here." Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice, then nodded towards Yuan Kaizhou, and left without even looking at Su Zhe, who had just gotten off the other car.
…
Yuan Kaizhou smiled, bowed slightly, and watched "Mr. Xiao Cheng" leave under the guard of many police officers.
"Boss, Vice President Cheng's attitude towards you is a little bit..." one of his subordinates said in a low voice.
"Shut up." Yuan Kaizhou's smile disappeared and he said coldly.
With that said, he walked quickly to his office.
The subordinate followed him into the office, closed the door, and then continued, "Boss, when you were the patrol leader, Cheng Qianfan was just an ordinary patrolman, and now he is arrogant in front of you..."
"Where are you so arrogant?" Yuan Kaizhou lit a cigarette and took a puff, "Vice President Cheng still respects me very much."
"Boss—" his subordinate paused, "You shouldn't take the initiative to go there today..."
Yuan Kaizhou happened to meet Cheng Qianfan, who was waiting at the door of the arresting hall on the first floor for his men to return, so he took the initiative to go over to keep him company and made some fun remarks.
Snapped!
"Remember, that's Vice President Cheng, the deputy chief inspector!" Yuan Kaizhou directly gave this close subordinate a slap in the face, "No one is big or small! There is no commander!"
…
"This man suddenly got off the stretcher and rushed towards the railing." Hao Zai reported, "This was completely beyond everyone's expectations, and there was no time to stop him."
He showed a complicated expression, "My subordinates all thought that this man would have died sooner if he jumped down, but he hesitated for a moment when he stepped on the railing, and then he was held down by the brothers who reacted."
Although it was cruel, in his heart, he really expected the "first mate" to jump. After jumping from the fifth floor, and being shot twice, the "first mate" was almost certain to die. , In this way, he not only avoided being tortured after being caught, but also died heroically for his country, gained a good name, and was worthy of his ancestors.
"I can't jump." Cheng Qianfan shook his head.
This "first mate" may be from
When he rushed out on the stretcher, he did have the idea of suicide and martyrdom for the country. However, when the matter came, he was afraid and retreated again.
Why "again"?
According to what Hao Zai reported, the "first mate" took the initiative to throw out his pistol and surrender after being shot.
Cheng Qianfan concluded that the "first officer" was afraid of death and did not have the courage to face death.
Because if the "first officer" really wanted to commit suicide and die for the country, there would be no need to pretend to be at ease first, and then find a way to jump off the building. During the gunfight, if he directly exposed his vital parts, he might be beaten to death. If If you are more determined to die, just give yourself a shot. This is the most decisive and crisp way!
Facing the rounds and gun battles of patrolmen, and facing the hail of bullets, the "first officer" became frightened and threw down his pistol.
Now that he has made the choice to surrender in the face of the horror of life and death, this person will no longer have the true determination and courage to commit suicide and sacrifice his country.
…
"What was found?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"This person was very vigilant and did not store any belongings that could easily arouse suspicion in the hotel room." Hao Zai said, "A suitcase with only a change of clothes in it."
"The rest is some money, hair wax, books, and dance tickets."
"What book?" Cheng Qianfan asked immediately.
"'Lao Can's Travels'." Hao Zai said.
Cheng Qianfan was slightly surprised that a Central Unification agent actually liked reading a book that was not liked by the government.
"Lao Can's Travels" has twenty chapters in total and is Liu E's masterpiece.
Liu E used "Lao Can's Travels" to express his infinite grief and indignation towards reality and his ideals and beliefs.
The work uses Lao Can's wanderings as clues to record his experiences and scenery to reflect the social reality of the late Qing Dynasty.
It especially describes the crimes of two cruel officials who care about human lives, are self-willed, and indiscriminately impose punishments.
These two cruel officials were actually regarded as capable personnel by their superiors, and the author used this to expose the corruption of officialdom in the late Qing Dynasty.
The government has never been happy with this book because "some people always use the past to mock the present, comparing the government to the decadent Manchu Qing regime in this book."
"Where's the book?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Brother Fan, I'm waiting for you to take a look at it, and then send it to the evidence room." Hao Zai said.
He whispered, "I collected and sorted these things myself and did not let other brothers handle them. I also pretended that I accidentally left out some insignificant items at the scene."
"What's the situation at the scene now?" Cheng Qianfan glanced at Hao Zai approvingly.
"It's a mess." Hao Zai said.
Cheng Qianfan nodded with satisfaction, and then Hao Zai arranged for people to deliver these items.
He waved his hand and signaled Haozi to go out first.
"Wait outside, I'll call you if anything happens."
"yes!"
…
Cheng Qianfan carefully inspected these items.
There is nothing special about the clothes, they are all ordinary clothes, and there is nothing hidden in the clothes.
In addition to the "Lao Can's Travels", there are also some newspapers, mainly "Shenbao" and "Jingbao".
He checked the date. The latest newspaper was today's "Jing Bao".
What's this?
Cheng Qianfan picked up the "Jing Bao" and read it under the desk lamp.
An inconspicuous corner of the newspaper seemed to be contaminated with something.
Cheng Qianfan thought for a moment and felt something in his heart.
He opened the drawer, took out a pencil, and carefully sharpened the pencil ashes on a piece of white paper with a knife.
puff!
Cheng Qianfan blew gently and cautiously.
Thin and dense pencil dust floated and fell.
Then, a line of words faintly appeared in the corner of the newspaper that was stained with substances.
Cheng Qianfan carefully identified it and finally confirmed it was:
Open source rice shop, children and old men are not bullied.
This is when the seal of the advertisement passes through the advertising paper or other newspapers on it, and accidentally leaves a mark on this newspaper.
For this kind of seal advertisement, the store usually asks someone to carve a carrot seal, and then prints it on advertising paper and posts it everywhere. Some even directly print it on the advertisement paper.
Carrot seals are printed on the walls of some homes. Good walls are printed with advertisements, which often attract curses from the owners.
In addition, some stores will cooperate with small newsboys to print advertisements on the newspapers for sale, usually in inconspicuous corners. This does not affect the newsboys selling newspapers, and people who buy newspapers even find out later that they have bought the newspapers. If someone adds an artificial seal of advertising, it's probably just a few scoldings, so I won't mind it too much.
"Open Source Rice Shop." Cheng Qianfan stared at the name of the store.
Whether it is adding a seal to a newspaper, printing advertising paper, or even printing advertisements directly on the wall, there is one characteristic. The store will only "advertise it widely" around the store. The newsboy they choose, Most of them are newsboys operating near their own shops.
On the one hand, it is to save "advertising" expenses, and the most important thing is - not to cross the line.
Therefore, Cheng Qianfan can now conclude that this "first mate" bought the "Jing Bao" near this Kaiyuan Mipu.
After thinking for a while, Cheng Qianfan messed up the "Jing Bao" even more, and then randomly pulled out two pages, together with the newspaper that he had checked and processed, kneaded it directly, and put it into the charcoal basin. , and soon these newspapers turned into ashes.
As for the remaining pages of "Jing Bao", he just threw them aside.
He was not worried that a few pages missing from the "Jing Bao" would arouse suspicion. Hao Zai's previous secret operations were just to facilitate his current manipulations.
The police patrol is rough in its work. If it is not discovered in time or if some evidence is missed, it is excusable.
If the newspaper had not been "contaminated" by him with pencil dust and left traces, there would be no need to "destroy the corpse and eliminate the traces."
…
Cheng Qianfan checked other items.
His eyes rested on the dance ticket.
After looking at it carefully, Cheng Qianfan was thoughtful and put the dance tickets back again.
After about a quarter of an hour, he called Hao Zai in again.
"Including this book, all items are temporarily stored in the safe of the third patrol office. Everything is labeled and no one is allowed to touch it without my order." Cheng Qianfan ordered. As he spoke, he picked up the The newspapers were thrown together with other things.
"Understood." Hao Zai nodded and glanced at the newspaper.
Hao Zai left the deputy chief inspector's office with these exhibits and came to the third patrol inspector's office.
Deputy Inspector Lu Hu was away, so Hao Zai threw the key given by Brother Fan to a patrol officer and said, "Go, put these things in the safe and seal it."
He wouldn't handle this alone.
A subordinate came over diligently to help. While placing these things, the patrolman glanced at several newspapers and said, "Brother Hao, put these newspapers in too?"
"You're crazy, what's that thing in the safe for? Is there someone stealing newspapers? I don't know who got all this mess back." Haozi scolded, "I'll save it for everyone to wipe their butts."
While laughing and scolding, Hao Zai picked up the newspaper and flipped through it, then turned around and walked out, throwing the newspaper into a bamboo basket. One of the newspapers fell out. Hao Zai cursed and stepped forward to put the newspaper away. .
The bamboo basket was filled with old newspapers, which were often used by patrol officers to go to the toilet. They could not only read the newspapers when peeing, but also use them as toilet paper.
…
Office of the Inspector General.
Jin Kemu was also listening to Su Zhe's report.
"Can you confirm the identity of that person?" Jin Kemu asked.
"The Third Patrol did not hide it deliberately." Su Zhe said, "It is said that they are from Chongqing."
As he spoke, Su Zhe lowered his voice and said, "Xue Yingzeng's people."
"How is he doing?" Jin Kemu frowned and asked.
"After being robbed twice, Vice President Cheng seemed to have planned to interrogate him overnight. However, the prisoner lost too much blood and was seriously injured. He has now been sent to Terracotta Road Police Hospital." Su Zhe said.
Speaking of this, Su Zhe sneered.
"What's wrong?" Jin Kemu glanced at the boy and asked.
"This man is a fearful man who was robbed twice.
He just threw the gun and surrendered. "Su Zhe sneered and said, "Then he seemed to regret it midway and suddenly wanted to jump off the building, but was stopped in time by the third patrol. "
"People from Zhongtong, why did they attack Qianfan?" Jin Kemu frowned, puzzled.
"Who doesn't know that "Mr. Little Cheng" is close to the Japanese?" Su Zhe winked, "Maybe Chongqing has decided that Vice President Cheng is a man and a woman, and finally decided to take action..."
"It's unlikely." Jin Kemu had no time to reprimand Su Zhe for disrespecting Vice President Cheng this time. He thought, shook his head and said, "As long as Qianfan doesn't openly defect to the Japanese people, Chongqing will not treat him badly." Started."
Jin Kemu said and sneered, "The chairman of the committee cares most about the attitude of his allies. If he rashly attacks a deputy chief inspector, the French will be very angry and they will not dare to mess around."
Su Zhe glanced at Jin Kemu. Mr. Jin seemed to lack the necessary respect for the leaders of the government.
However, he remained silent and said nothing more.

Japanese Military Police Headquarters in Shanghai.
"Atsushi, look at how well I write these words?" Ikeuchi put down the brush in his hand and asked Kawada Atsushi.
Atsuto Kawada stepped forward, leaned forward, and observed it carefully for a while before smiling and saying, "The commander's calligraphy has become a style of its own."
Ikeuchi Junzaburo laughed loudly and pointed at Kawada Atsuhito, "Atsuto, you have learned how to flatter me."
Kawada Atsuto smiled and said nothing.
The young master of the Kawada family can throw in a few compliments, but any more will lose his status.
At this moment, a report came from outside the office, "Your Excellency, Commander, Mr. Zuo Umezu is requesting to see you."
