Robertson Road, No. 3 Caojiadu, Hengfeng Watch Shop.
The front door is a store. When customers come in, they will subconsciously mistakenly think that they have arrived at Hendali.
Hendali and Hengdeli are the largest and most reputable old stores in the Shanghai watch industry.
The name of the signboard begins with the word "Heng", because in Shanghai dialect there is a saying "Hengtou".
Many Chinese watch shops no longer dare to use the word "heng" to start with, so they found a way to use the word "heng" to attract customers.
This is the case with Hengfeng Watch Shop.
Cheng Qianfan was sitting on the sofa in the watch shop's office, holding a cigarette in his hand and smoking slowly, turning his head to look in the direction of the door from time to time.
The door is open.
Soon, there were footsteps.
Xiaochi in a suit and leather shoes appeared in Cheng Qianfan's sight.
Xiaochi glanced at Hou Pingliang who was guarding the door.
Hou Pingliang ignored Xiaochi and looked at Cheng Qianfan.
Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly, and Hou Pingliang then left with confidence and followed one of Xiaochi's men.
"Miyazaki-kun, you have a good subordinate." Koike said, "Loyalty is a good character."
"A Chinese from a lower-class background will be willing to die for you as long as you are nice to him." Cheng Qianfan shook his head and said. He glanced at Xiaochi, "It seems that Mr. Xiaochi has just finished his work?"
He noticed two spots of blood on Xiaochi's chin.
To be precise, they were still fresh blood spots that had not dried up.
"I accidentally killed a military commander who was unwilling to speak." Xiaochi said with some regret.
He did not expect that the military commander suspect seemed to be in good health, but he seemed to have a heart disease. He could not bear the severe punishment and died suddenly.
Cheng Qianfan was not interested in this matter. He said directly to Xiaochi, "Xiaochi-kun, things happened in a hurry and caused trouble for you."
"I'm very curious." Koike smiled, "Miyazaki-kun has a better relationship with Araki-kun, why don't you ask Araki-kun for help? Instead, he would think of me."
With that said, he stood up and poured a cup of tea for Kentaro Miyazaki.
Cheng Qianfan stretched out his hand to touch the tea cup, then retracted his hand and leaned back on the back of the sofa, "Araki-kun will naturally help me, but Araki-kun may think too much about some things, which will make me feel annoyed. .”
He looked at Koike, "So, I chose Koike-kun——
Because Koike-kun, you love money. "
Just when Xiaochi's face darkened, Cheng Qianfan continued, "Xiaoike-kun and I have the same hobbies, so for some things, the two of us get along better."
Xiaochi laughed.
He understood what this guy Shizaki meant.
According to the situation described by Miyazaki Kentaro, Koike is inclined to suspect that this is a false warning to Miyazaki. The forces suspected of conducting the test are most likely to be people close to the empire.
In addition, Xiaochi has his own information channel. When Cheng Qianfan was invited to visit Li Cuiqun, someone at the secret service headquarters deliberately used banned newspapers to test him. Xiaochi also heard about this.
Therefore, Xiaochi has basically judged that the other party is most likely the secret service headquarters. This is exactly why Miyazaki did not seek help from Araki Harima in this matter, but chose to find him.
Miyazaki is a guy who attaches great importance to personal safety. This method of being tested and peeping at any time has already angered Kentaro Miyazaki.
Miyazaki was very angry. Only killing people could quell his anger. Anyway, in the eyes of Kentaro Miyazaki, the Chinese people were pigs and dogs. Even these Chinese people who had surrendered to the empire would die without mercy.
If Kentaro Miyazaki finds Araki to help set this trap, Araki will naturally not refuse his friend's request for help. However, Araki Harima may not allow Kentaro Miyazaki to kill anyone——
Maybe after the news has passed, Araki Harima will personally tie the guy who angered Miyazaki today to Kentaro Miyazaki and let him deal with it.
However, under the current circumstances, Araki Harima really has to consider the practical impact.
He will arrest people and allow Kentaro Miyazaki to torture them personally to vent his anger, but there is a high probability that he will not allow people to die.
Because Araki Harima, who has a military background, wants to talk about the overall situation:
Ding Mu Tun and Li Cuiqun had just joined Wang Reclamation, and the cooperation between the empire and the secret service headquarters had just begun. This was not the time to go on a killing spree just because of such a trivial matter. However, for Kentaro Miyazaki, who never valued the lives of Chinese people, it would be difficult to express such evil anger without killing people, or even killing a few more people!
What he wants is to kill people right now to establish his authority and vent his anger!
Therefore, Miyazaki Kentaro did not ask Araki Harima for help, but asked Koike. Because, as long as the price offered by Kentaro Miyazaki is in place, Koike will dare to do anything: just kill a few agents from the secret service headquarters, and maybe be punished afterwards. What's the big deal? The most important thing is to be sincere!
"That guy Araki is too old-fashioned." Koike shook his head and said with a smile. He stared at Kentaro Miyazaki, "Miyazaki-kun, you are so frank in telling me this, are you really not afraid that I will report you to the section chief?"
"Tell me, what's the inconvenience to say?" Cheng Qianfan picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, smiling slightly.
Xiaochi also laughed.
What he just said was clearly telling Kentaro Miyazaki that he would truthfully tell the section chief about this matter and place the main responsibility on him: Kentaro Miyazaki:
Miyazaki is the mastermind, he is just being entrusted by Miyazaki to help.
He can help, but he will never share the responsibility.
Of course, process aside, this seems to be true.
Koike frankly stated to Kentaro Miyazaki that he would take advantage of it and he would not bear the rest, you know.
Miyazaki Kentaro's answer is: I understand, just say it.
The two of them had a tacit understanding——
The most important thing about this kind of thing is not to hide anything from the superior. Everything else is nothing.
It's not a big deal to kill a few Chinese people who defected to the empire!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
A short and stocky young man walked in together with Hou Pingliang.
"Chief, we're here," the short and stocky man said.
Xiaochi glanced at Cheng Qianfan, "Vice President Cheng, what do you mean?"
"Little monkey, you cooperate with Boss Chi's people to take action." Cheng Qianfan held the tea cup in both hands and drank lightly, and said calmly.
"Yes, Brother Fan."
"Are you left alive?" the short and stocky man suddenly asked.
Xiaochi frowned.
Cheng Qianfan clicked his tongue and frowned. He smiled at Xiaochi and said, "I really want to kill them all."
Xiaochi smiled and said nothing.
He takes advantage of things——
It was Kentaro Miyazaki who gave the order. He just lent Miyazaki the place and manpower.
"It's hard to calm down." Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette and took a puff. "It's better to kill them all."
Koike glanced at Kentaro Miyazaki in surprise, but still did not speak. He nodded towards the stocky subordinate who was looking at him.
The car Su Chende was riding in stopped on the side of the road.
"Sir Su, that's Hengfeng Watch Company." An agent riding a foreign car came to the car window to report.
Su Chende took a look and saw that the door of the clock shop was open, but there didn't seem to be many customers.
However, he didn't find it strange. The watch store was not a department store, and it was normal for the customer flow to be loose.
"Where is your team leader Cao?" Su Chende asked.
He didn't see Cao Yu.
"Team leader Cao took two brothers to the back door. He said he wanted to prevent the other party from escaping through the back door."
Su Chende nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.
This Cao Yu is quite aware of current affairs, obedient, diligent and meticulous in his work, and the most important thing is to be clear about things and not to take credit.
At this time, Gui Yijin could be heard laughing in the car, "Well, I hope Team Leader Cao can make a good move this time and catch the big fish that escaped through the back door.
. "
Su Chende also smiled.
He understood Gui Yijin's teasing intention. Cao Yu's reputation within the secret service headquarters was not very good. This did not refer to the person's ability or character, but to Cao Yu's bad luck.
When this guy was in the Party Affairs Investigation Department, his immediate superior was Wang Kangnian. Later, Wang Kangnian was betrayed by Cao Yu and after he defected to the Japanese, he was suddenly arrested by the Japanese. When Cao Yu was in the detective brigade, he curried favor with the Japanese and followed Japanese agents. As a result, two Japanese superiors were both killed in an operation.
I don’t know who the guy was who spread the word, but gradually, Cao Yu Kezhu’s reputation spread.
Regarding this rumor, Su Chende both believed it and did not believe it entirely:
He will use Cao Yu to do things, but he will not really recruit Cao Yu into his subordinates. "Sir Su, the situation at Hengfeng Watch Shop is not clear yet," the subordinate reported.
"Brother Gui, what do you think?" Su Chende looked at Gui Yijin.
"The strategy to capture the enemy is to do it quickly rather than later." Gui Yijin said decisively, "Our goal is to catch the enemy by surprise. If we are too late, things will change."
"That's the truth." Su Chende nodded slowly.
Li Zhu held an oil-paper umbrella and sat on a bench outside a coffee shop to admire the street view.
There are many people on the street.
There are many shops.
Large pharmacies, grain and oil stores, cloth stores, grocery stores, all kinds of store signs are fluttering in the wind. She felt that all of this was so incompatible with this troubled world, but yet it seemed to fit so well together in a strange way.
She saw the code message issued by the district chief Xu Zhaolin in the newspaper. After much hesitation, Li Zhu decided to go to the appointment.
There is still a quarter of an hour before the appointed time.
She arrived early, and her cautious personality made her accustomed to visiting spots in advance.
At this moment, she saw a dozen men running quickly across the road.
These people ran, ran, and when they approached Hengfeng Watch Shop, they suddenly pulled out the short guns at their waists.
In an instant, a citizen let out a scream, and then there was chaos and swarming. These armed men rushed straight into Hengfeng Watch Store.
Li Zhu did not hesitate at all. The woman stood up, rolled up the "Liangyou Pictorial" in her hand, held an oil-paper umbrella, and left in a panic with the crowd running in panic.
....…
Go back in time one minute.
Hengfeng Watch Store.
The agents who swarmed in were shocked when they saw more than a dozen black gun muzzles.
"Don't move!"
"Don't move!"
Both sides gritted their teeth and roared at each other.
Gui Yijun's eyes tightened and sweat broke out on his forehead. He never dreamed that leading the team to rush in would be like this.
"The Secret Service Headquarters is looking for violent Japanese haters. Brothers, we are all Chinese. Put down your guns and I will spare your lives." Gui Yijin tried his best to stay calm and said loudly.
What he didn't expect was that the other party actually showed a contemptuous sneer.
This kind of sneer is not the kind of smile despised by Chinese people, it is a kind of contempt. The stocky Special High School agent stepped forward in two steps.
"Stop!" An agent from the secret service headquarters stopped him immediately.
The man sneered, first looked at the person opposite him contemptuously, then casually handed the short gun in his hand to his companion behind him, then took out an ID from his body and handed it to Gui Yijin.
Gui Yijin took the certificate warily and doubtfully, opened it and looked at it, and then he was shocked.
This is a secret agent certificate from Shanghai Special High School.
"You, you are..." Gui Yijin asked stammering.
"Shh!" The stocky agent made a shut-up gesture. He turned aside and said respectfully.
Gui Yijin's eyes widened as he saw Cheng Qianfan walking out accompanied by a man.
He had an impression of that man. He was clearly Koike, the driver of Sanbonjiro, the director of Shanghai Special High School.
Gui Yigen was sweating profusely
, he now believes that this Hengfeng Watch Shop is really the secret stronghold of the Extra High School.
They captured the anti-Japanese elements, and they actually captured the territory of the Super High School!
Xiaochi's face was gloomy. He walked up to Gui Yijin and walked up to him with two big mouths, "You broke in here to rebel?"
"I don't dare." Gui Yijin quickly explained, "Mr. Xiaochi, we received intelligence that there are Japanese-hatred elements nearby. This is all a misunderstanding."
He is a careful person, and he knows that at this time, he must not say that he monitored Cheng Qianfan's phone calls and then launched an action here. If he said that, it would only make things worse - obviously, this is a trap.
However, since Cheng Qianfan dared to lead them into this trap and led them to attack the Special High School, this in itself explains many problems, the most important of which is - Cheng Qianfan's own relationship with the Japanese, to be precise, his relationship with the Special High School The relationship between classes is closer than they imagined.
At the very least, under this situation, they couldn't move Cheng Qianfan, and they were worried that Cheng Qianfan would rely on human power and use the power of the Japanese to repair them.
In this case, instead of completely breaking up with Cheng Qianfan, it is best to find a way to get through first, and then plan later!
"Who is this?" Cheng Qianfan glanced at Gui Yijin and suddenly said.
"I'm at the Secret Service Headquarters, Gui Yijin. Vice President Cheng has invited me in person." Gui Yijin immediately said with a smile on his face.
It turned out to be this person.
Cheng Qianfan immediately picked up the number. This person was the deputy captain of the Shanghai District Action Team of the Central Command's Suhu District.
"Vice captain, I have long admired your name." Cheng Qianfan said in a neutral tone.
Gui Yijin was shocked when Cheng Qianfan revealed his identity in one breath. It was obvious that Cheng Qianfan had a close relationship with the Special Higher Education Course. It was even possible that this person had secretly defected to the Japanese. Most likely That is to say, he has already joined the special higher education course.
In this way, Gui Yijin's attitude became more respectful, "Vice President Cheng, what happened today was all a misunderstanding. Afterwards, Mr. Gui should personally come to apologize!"
Cheng Qianfan was greedy for money, and everyone in the French Concession knew that. Under the current circumstances, Gui Yimen decisively spent money to save his life. Although Cheng Qianfan most likely did not dare to take action, he was afraid of anything less than ten thousand, and Cheng Qianfan had already offended Cheng Qianfan , but it is inevitable to spend money to eliminate disasters. "Vice Captain Gui scared Cheng today." Cheng Qianfan sneered, "Cheng is not embarrassed by Vice Captain Gui."
He pointed to the backyard of the shop, "How about you guys stand next to the courtyard wall, I'll give each of you a whip and this matter will be over?"
Not so!
Gui Yijin took a deep look at Cheng Qianfan and said, "Vice President Cheng, are you really going to do this?" Cheng Qianfan sneered.
"My deputy director Li and deputy general manager Cheng are friends..." Gui Yijin said.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of you. I'll go find my senior and have a good discussion." Cheng Qianfan chuckled.
Gui Yijun's face darkened and he glared at Cheng Qianfan.
When Cheng Qianfan thought this person was going to angrily refuse, Gui Yijin stamped his foot, "Okay!"
"Please." Cheng Qianfan smiled contemptuously.
This unabashed contempt made Gui Yimen secretly resentful. He gritted his teeth and would surely retaliate later.
yard.
Gui Yijin and a dozen of his men put away their short guns and lined up against the wall with their heads down.
Cheng Qianfan stood opposite, nodding with satisfaction.
He took two steps back, and the smile on his face grew stronger and stronger. Finally, he suddenly raised his right hand with a ferocious smile:
Gunshots rang out!
