"Inspector." Da Toulu saluted Cheng Qianfan.
"Well, Brother Lu is here." Cheng Qianfan nodded and motioned for Lu to sit down, while he picked up the cigarette case, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
As soon as Da Toulu's butt touched the chair, he immediately jumped up, took out the kerosene lighter, skillfully turned the wheel to light the fire, and leaned forward to get closer.
Cheng Qianfan took two puffs of the cigarette, holding the cigarette between his index and middle fingers, blowing out a faint smoke from his nose. He leaned back on the chair and made a downward movement with his left hand. Da Toulu then sat down.
"Inspector, this is the report of my third patrol, under the order of the Political Department, to cooperate with the public concession general arrest room to arrest Chongqing violent elements." Datou Lu stood up and put a document on his desk.
Whether it is the French Concession or the British and American public concessions, they have never legally recognized the Japanese occupation of Shanghai, let alone the Japanese-supported Han women's political institutions. Therefore, the concession authorities have no direct contact with the secret service headquarters. The dialogue between the French Concession and the secret service headquarters was in the name of the chief arrester of the public concession. In other words, nominally speaking, Britain, France and the United States provide China with security protection. In the 11th year of the Republic of China, the United States, Britain, France, Japan, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Portugal and other victorious countries signed the "Treaty of Principles and Policies Applicable to Incidents in China among the Nine Powers" at the Washington Conference with the Beiyang Government of China. Known as the Nine-Nation Pact.
The treaty clearly stipulates: "Respect China's independence and independence, as well as its territorial and administrative integrity", which is guaranteed in legal form.
In addition, the Beiyang government also proposed at the meeting to abolish "Article 21", take back Shandong ***, and cancel the sphere of foreign influence and all privileges in China. However, the great powers did not fully recognize it.
This diplomatic document signed by the eight victorious countries is an unequal treaty. To a certain extent, it is a document for the great powers to carve up the Chinese market. However, it is also very beneficial to China. This treaty legally restrains a country from invading and monopolizing China:
China belongs to many great powers, and no one wants to be alone.
Therefore, the French, British, and Americans have never legally recognized Japan's occupation of China's territory, and they also maintain a non-recognizing attitude towards the puppet Manchukuo.
Britain and France did not recognize Puppet Manchukuo, which had a great impact on most countries in the world, especially the European continent, which generally did not recognize Puppet Manchukuo until Poland became the first European country to recognize Puppet Manchukuo.
Or, to put it in one sentence, the European and American powers' response to Japan's aggression against China was the 'doctrine of non-recognition', also known as the 'Stimson Doctrine'.
During his tenure, former U.S. Secretary of State Stimson proposed the famous strategy for Japan’s military operations against China:
"The U.S. government cannot recognize the legality of any factual situation, nor does it intend to recognize any treaty concluded between the governments of China and Japan or their agents that may undermine the treaty rights of the United States or its nationals in China..."
It can be summed up in one sentence: cover your eyes and pretend not to see, and then refuse to acknowledge the results of Japan's aggression.
Cheng Qianfan has long understood this truth:
When a robber breaks into your house, kills people, and sets fire to your home, you can't expect justice from the other robbers who have been bullying you and are now watching. At that time, the Japanese army bombed Jinzhou. Stimson informed Hoover of the situation and pointed out the seriousness of the situation.
However, Hoover turned a deaf ear to this, claiming that he did not believe that "Japan was causing great damage to the peace treaty by acting recklessly."
Instead, he insisted that the United States must proceed prudently and "not plunge ourselves into a humiliating position by acting rashly on a piece of paper."
Hoover himself believed that the treaty they signed was a dead letter.
Cheng Qianfan picked up the document and read it, his brows furrowed.
"What's going on? No one was caught?" Cheng Qianfan asked coldly. "I was a step too slow. When I broke through the door and entered, the building was already empty." Datulu quickly explained.
He lowered his voice and said, "Inspector, I suspect that the news has been leaked."
"Is the problem within us?" Cheng Qianfan asked with a gloomy expression.
"It's hard to figure out where the problem is," Datoulu said.
"There are so many people involved in such a big operation from the patrol room, the political section, and even the secret service headquarters. If the information leaks out, there is no way to investigate."
"There is leakage everywhere!" Cheng Qianfan snorted coldly. He closed the document, flicked the ash from his cigarette, and his eyes flickered, "I heard that more than a dozen people were arrested, and the Political Department withheld half of it and did not hand it over to the Japanese?"
"The Political Department said that those people still need to be screened. There is currently no evidence that they are violent elements from Chongqing." Datou Lu said.
As he spoke, he looked hesitant.
"Say." Cheng Qianfan frowned.
"Inspector." Da Toulu then continued, "My subordinates also heard from the Mailan Police Department that people from the Political Department are actually not active in arresting people, and they are suspected of being in cahoots with the enemy..." Cheng Qianfan lifted the Raise your hand.
Shut up Da Toulu.
"Facing the powerful Japanese, the French have long been uncomfortable. Naturally, they are happy to work without exerting any effort." Cheng Qianfan said with a frown.
He took two puffs of cigarette in a row and finally snorted, "Okay, I understand this."
"There's something." He gave Da Toulu a deep look, "You go do it and keep your hands and feet clean."
Cheng Xuyuan parked the car on the side of the road and was about to get out of the car.
"Boss Tan, let me go take a look first." Shao Mingkui said, "Don't shut down the car here."
Cheng Xuyuan nodded, this is a safe strategy.
Shao Mingkui checked his revolver, put it into his briefcase, and got out of the car with the briefcase under his arm.
After about a few minutes, Cheng Xuyuan saw Shao Mingkui's gesture, and then he safely turned off the engine and took Zhanhua out of the car.
"You are finally back." Gui Qian said eagerly when she saw her husband, "I will die of anxiety if I don't come back."
"What happened?" Cheng Xuyuan asked urgently.
"A call came from Chongqing. Wang Tiemu and Chen Mingchu voted for No. 76." Gui Qian hurriedly said
said.
When she received the urgent call from Chongqing, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She couldn't believe her eyes, and then she became extremely anxious.
Wang Tiemu and Chen Mingchu know the Shanghai area very well, especially Chen Mingchu.
Gui Qian was very worried about Cheng Xuyuan, who went out to warn various internal service units in Shanghai. Her husband did not know that Wang Tiemu and Chen Mingchu had rebelled. If he met these two people, he would be trapped in a trap.
Gui Qian had been anxious these past two days and did not dare to go out to search rashly. Now she was relieved to see her husband return safely.
"You were right not to go out and search hastily." Cheng Xuyuan affirmed Gui Qian's response.
Putting aside the chaotic situation and the huge crowd, it was difficult for Gui Qian to find them. Let me just say that the safety of Gui Qian, Mrs. Shao and the children was more important than anything else in the hearts of Cheng Xuyuan and Shao Mingkui.
Once the wife, children and children fall into the enemy's hands, that is the worst thing.
After comforting his wife, children, and children, Cheng Xuyuan frowned and thought about how to deal with the emergency situation.
He was mentally prepared for Chen Mingchu's rebellion, but when Wang Zhimu rebelled, Cheng Xuyuan was also shocked.
"Mingkui, take Zhanhua on guard." Cheng Xuyuan ordered.
Shao Mingkui nodded and took Zhanhua out of the back room and into the front yard. "Qianyun, I'm here to prepare a telegram and send a report to Chongqing." Cheng Xuyuan said in a deep voice. No. 19, Luojiawan, Chongqing.
"Secretary, there is a call from Gui Qian of Shanghai District Telecommunications Group Two." Qi Wu handed the message to Dai Chunfeng.
"Is it Cheng Xuyuan? He's fine. That's great!" Dai Chunfeng took the message and read it. He saw that the call was in the name of Cheng Xuyuan. Cheng Xuyuan reported to the headquarters what he knew about the unit being cracked by the enemy, as well as him, Shao Mingkui and others. He was almost deceived and arrested by Chen Mingchu and his men.
Previously, she contacted Gui Qian's second telecommunications team. Gui Qian reported that Cheng Xuyuan took Shao Mingkui to notify various units of the transfer, but he has not returned yet.
Dai Chunfeng had been worried that Cheng Xuyuan would also fall into the hands of his enemies.
Now that he saw that Cheng Xuyuan was safe and sound and had good news, he finally looked better.
but….
"Have you confirmed it?" Dai Chunfeng suddenly looked serious.
.
What if Cheng Xuyuan has been arrested and surrendered to the enemy, and is now being tricked by the enemy? If one of them is accidentally manipulated by Ding Mutun and Li Cuiqun, it would be a personal loss.
"The bureau chief is still thoughtful. I'll call you back to confirm." Qi Wu was suddenly enlightened, filled with admiration, and hurriedly left.
Shanghai, Fuxi District.
"Continue the source." Gui Qian translated the telegram she had just received and couldn't help but frown. She couldn't understand the telegram.
The content of the message is: Wang Jinke is safe and well. Farewell to Yichang and hope to return soon. The fact that Boss Dai even made a special call to inquire is enough to show that this person's identity is extraordinary.
However, she did not remember Wang Jin among the senior cadres in Shanghai District. "Call back." Cheng Xuyuan said solemnly, "Wang Yichang has returned."
This was the identification code that Dai Chunfeng had agreed with him a long time ago.
If the answer is that Wang Jin is fine or that Wang Jin is okay, it means that the person who called is not Cheng Xuyuan himself.
Only by calling "Wang Yichang" in the call back can we prove that it is Cheng Xuyuan himself. The fact that Wang Yichang was safe showed that Cheng Xuyuan was safe and had not fallen into the hands of the enemy. This telegram was not sent under coercion by the enemy.
If the call comes back that the king has returned to Yichang, it means that he is controlled by the enemy.
In this case, as long as Cheng Xuyuan responds truthfully with this secret code and secretly reminds Chongqing to be careful, Dai Chunfeng will be lenient and will not order sanctions against Cheng Xuyuan and his family.
"Secretary, Cheng Xuyuan calls back." Qi Wu handed the message to Dai Chunfeng, "We have screened him and Cheng Xuyuan is fine."
Dai Chunfeng nodded slightly. In this way, he was truly relieved. He was not worried that Cheng Xuyuan was stubborn and deceived him after surrendering to the enemy.
Cheng Xuyuan didn't dare.
Since I have become a man and a woman, I naturally cherish my life.
Leave everything on the line.
If Dai Chunfeng angers him, he will be punished at all costs.
…
Hongkou District.
Extraordinary courses.
Araki Harima frowned slightly and stared at Lu Hu standing in front of him.
"You mean, Cheng Qianfan ordered you to get rid of Tsubasa Naito from the Consulate General?" He asked in a deep voice.
"Yes." Datulu nodded.
"Did Cheng Qianfan order you to attack someone? After investigation, you found out that the person was Naito Kotsubo, or..." Araki Harima asked.
"Cheng Qianfan bluntly said that the person he wanted to get rid of was Naito Kotsubasa from the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai." Otoro said, "Therefore, Cheng Qianfan also specially told me that I would personally lead people to do this and not let the news leak out. .”
Araki Harima glanced at Lu Hu. When this person mentioned Cheng Qianfan, he would call him "Vice President Cheng," or "Inspector Cheng," or even "Inspector Chief."
This was the first time Lu Hu called him by his first name in front of him.
Araki Harima nodded secretly in his heart, he understood the reason.
Datou Lu was frightened. He learned that Cheng Qianfan was actually going to attack the Japanese, or even an imperial diplomat like Naito Xiaotsuba. Datou Lu was frightened and he decided to cut ties with Cheng Qianfan.
Araki Harima is satisfied with Lu Hu's attitude.
But why did Miyazaki-kun suddenly kill Naito Tsubasa?
Tsubasa Naito promoted the previous test of Kentaro Miyazaki by the Military Police Headquarters. Araki Harima naturally knew about this, and he also knew that Kentaro Miyazaki later knew the inside story:
It was Miyazaki-kun who told him personally that Imamura Hyōtaro prohibited Miyazaki-kun from taking revenge on Naito. Miyazaki-kun was depressed and talked about it with him over a drink.
His good friend Kentaro Miyazaki is extremely sincere towards his friends and cold-blooded towards his enemies. Miyazaki-kun hates Naito Tsubasa deeply and has long wanted to attack Naito. Araki Harima knows this.
However, Araki Harima also knew that Miyazaki could only think in his heart. No matter what the considerations were, Miyazaki-kun could not take action against Naito.
So, now Miyazaki suddenly decided to take action against Naito Tsubasa, what happened? What stimulated Miyazaki-kun to make such an impulsive move?
move? wrong.
Araki Harima was wondering about the possibility that Kentaro Miyazaki acted impulsively to attack Naito. He knew that his good friend, Miyazaki-kun, was a very smart and rational person, and it was impossible for him to attack Naito rashly without knowing it. as a result of.
Unless, unless Tsubasa Naito does something that Miyazaki-kun can no longer endure.
Therefore, Miyazaki-kun couldn't bear it anymore.
But, has Miyazaki-kun figured out how to explain it to all parties in the empire after getting rid of Naito?
Araki Harima shook his head. He didn't think his friend could really escape unscathed after getting rid of Naito.
Miyazaki-kun wants to rely on the section chief's trust and love for him?
Araki Harima shook his head. Naito Tsubasa is an imperial diplomat, not an ordinary citizen of the empire. Even the section chief cannot protect the murderer of Naito Tsubasa, especially Miyazaki-kun is an agent of the Special High School Course, and the section chief cannot protect him. .
Also, the most important point is that Tsubasa Naito is a subordinate of Hyōtaro Imamura. How dare Miyazaki-kun ignore Counselor Imamura's prohibition and attack Tsubasa Naito?
Even an angry Miyazaki, even an impulsive Miyazaki, cannot ignore these things. Impulse is behavior, and being impulsive does not mean losing one's mind. It does not mean that one will be reckless about the consequences. He feels that there must be something he doesn't know about.
Suddenly, Araki Harima realized something, a rather interesting detail: Mr. Miyazaki knew that Lu Hu was the spy of the Imperial Special High School Course. If so, why did he think of arranging for Lu Hu to attack Naito Tsubasa?
He didn't think his friend would have expected that Lu Hu would come to tip off the news.
