It is not easy to find people through rickshaw drivers and mobilize rickshaw drivers on such a large scale for questioning.
This method is not a commonly used strategy. On the one hand, there is too much movement and it is inevitable that the news will leak out.
In addition, rickshaw drivers are not omnipotent. They have to do a lot of work and pull so many customers every day. How can they remember it so clearly?
Therefore, one thing that is crucial to being able to find people quickly is the characteristics of the target.
'Huamei Cigarettes' is the key feature of this search.
Of course, there is one more thing, and that is luck:
Because some drivers would not say anything even if they knew the situation.
This time, Su Chende and the others were lucky.
Of course, there is another reason. The Qinggang sent a message to the rickshaw operators to find someone:
A kidnapper from Fujian kidnapped a girl who was visiting relatives in Liupinli, west of Shanghai. One of the two kidnappers was used to smoking Huamei cigarettes.
"Are you sure it's Xu Zhixin?" Chen Mingchu asked immediately.
"Okay, my subordinate asked the hotel clerk to send a broken thermos to the room." Lu Fei's expression was excited and a little proud, "Sure enough, the tenant came down with the broken thermos. Kelp hid in the corner and took a look, confirming It’s Xu Zhixin.”
Kelp is a waiter at the Rich Hotel, and was taken to recognize him by agents from the Secret Service Headquarters.
"Excellent." Chen Mingchu praised Lu Fei, "Team Leader Lu is very witty!"
As he spoke, he asked urgently, "Which direction is the Weimin Hotel?"
He was not very familiar with the streets of Pétain.
"Map." Chen Mingchu said in a deep voice.
"Team Leader Chen, Weimin Hotel is here." Dong Zhengguo pointed to a place on the map and said, "It's two streets away from Huamin Hotel."
This is a map of the French Concession sold by the Printing Bureau of the Ministry of Industry of the French Concession. It is mainly sold to French people coming to the French Concession from Europe. There are both French and Chinese annotations on the map. The map is well-made and relatively accurate. It was used by agents Used by the headquarters.
"They live in Room 206 of the Weimin Hotel." Luffy said, "Looking straight through the back window of this room, you can see the road in front of the Huamin Hotel."
"Sheng Shuyu is very cunning." Chen Mingchu nodded.
Obviously, Sheng Shuyu and his wife chose this room after careful consideration.
Huamin Hotel is in the light, it is a front for the light, Weimin Hotel is in the dark, it is a covert.
If they had reached the Petain District based on various investigations, mistakenly thought that Sheng Shuyu and his wife were hiding in the Huamin Hotel, and rashly launched an operation against the Huamin Hotel, it would be almost equivalent to a 'warning' to the Weimin Hotel.
"Is Sheng Shuyu at the Weimin Hotel?" Dong Zhengguo asked.
"No, only Xu Zhixin is here." Lu Fei shook his head, "The hotel clerk said that the other tenant left not long after checking in."
"Sheng Shuyu is not here, so Xu Zhixin couldn't restrain his craving for cigarettes and came out to buy cigarettes." Dong Zhengguo said immediately.
Chen Mingchu nodded.
It's so certain,
"What needs to be determined now is whether Sheng Shuyu went out temporarily and would come back in the evening, or whether he arranged Xu Zhixin to stay at the Weimin Hotel while he had another place to stay," Dong Zhengguo said.
As he said that, he looked at Chen Mingchu, "Chief Chen, based on your understanding of Sheng Shuyu, would he be so cautious?"
"That's not true." Lu Fei frowned and said.
He didn't think Sheng Shuyu would be so cautious.
He himself is a military commander, and he has a good understanding of the habits of military commanders. Everyone is the best at doing rough work of fighting and killing. Sheng Shuyu is very good and cautious. This is understandable, but he does not think that Sheng Shuyu will be so cautious. The point of demonic obstacles:
Neither the military commander nor the central commander can achieve such a level of caution and cannot develop such a habit.
Only those Red Party members who have been used to being rats for more than ten years, hiding here and there, are cautious to the core.
"Probably not." Chen Mingchu shook his head.
He also didn't think Sheng Shuyu would be so cautious.
There was already the Huamin Hotel as a cover, and the two men had taken rickshaws three times before, and they even set up a cover at Shuanglongfang Apartment on Father Jin Road.
Being able to do so many security warnings, Sheng Shuyu himself must be quite satisfied and will not resort to too many tricks.
Moreover, according to Chen Mingchu's understanding of Sheng Shuyu, this person is quite proud. To be favored by Sheng Shuyu and brought to Shanghai to perform a secret mission, Xu Zhixin must be outstanding. There is no need for Sheng Shuyu to use his favorite subordinates as safety bait. .
"Chief Chen, then we can only wait now?" Lu Fei asked.
Their main target is Sheng Shuyu, Xu Zhixin is just a small fish.
"Wait." Chen Mingchu said in a deep voice.
"I'm afraid Sheng Shuyu won't come back tonight, so I'll have to stay up all night." Lu Fei shook his head and said.
"There's no need to keep waiting." Dong Zhengguo said thoughtfully, "If you want to know whether Sheng Shuyu will come back tonight, there are traces."
"Oh?" Chen Mingchu looked at Dong Zhengguo.
If Lu Fei was quite clever in his opinion, Dong Zhengguo, the former "First Officer" of the Central Unification's ace agent, was considered to be extremely resourceful.
"What did Xu Zhixin eat for lunch?" Dong Zhengguo asked Lu Fei.
"What did you eat for lunch?" Lu Fei was slightly stunned and didn't understand why Dong Zhengguo asked about this.
"Brother Lu, could you please check, what did Xu Zhixin eat for lunch, what did he eat for dinner, or how to prepare dinner?" Dong Zhengguo said.
He looked at Chen Mingchu and explained, "If he buys food for himself at noon or goes out to eat, he will definitely go out at night. We can see if he will bring food back."
"When it comes to bringing food back, it's probably for Sheng Shuyu." Chen Mingchu nodded.
"There is another possibility. Did Xu Zhixin ask for rice dumplings from the store? If so, ask him how many people he ordered for rice dumplings at night." Dong Zhengguo said with a smile.
"Wonderful." Chen Mingchu was overjoyed and said to Lu Fei, "Team Leader Lu, please go and investigate."
After Lu Fei left, Chen Mingchu looked at Dong Zhengguo with emotion and admiration, "He is indeed the famous 'First Officer' in Suhu District, and he is worthy of his reputation."
"Chief Chen, what you said is all in the past." Dong Zhengguo was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "Zhengguo is now wholeheartedly following Mr. Wang's path of peace and national salvation."
"Think too much, think too much." Chen Mingchu said with a smile, "I'm not testing you, I'm just curious."
As he spoke, he shook his head, "You guys who came from the Central Military Commission are indeed quite good at investigating clues and apprehending suspects."
"It's all the experience of catching red party members over the years." Dong Zhengguo said with a smile.
"That's true, those rats are not easy to catch." Chen Mingchu nodded.
About ten minutes later, Lu Fei came back.
"I found out," Lu Fei said excitedly, "Xu Zhixin ordered a package of rice and dinner for two."
Chen Mingchu and Dong Zhengguo looked at each other, and the joy in their eyes almost burst out.
"Everyone!" Chen Mingchu said in a deep voice, "Be on full alert and be ready to take action at any time."
He looked at Dong Zhengguo and Lu Fei, "As soon as you see Sheng Shuyu coming back, arrest him immediately!"
"Don't wait until he returns to the hotel room?" Dong Zhengguo asked.
"No need!" Chen Mingchu said with a serious expression, "I will set up an ambush near the hotel. Although I am trying to be careful, there will inevitably be some movement before the arrest operation begins..."
He snorted coldly, "If Xu Zhixin discovers the clues and warns Sheng Shuyu, or if Sheng Shuyu is alert and finds something wrong, the cooked duck will fly away!"
"Chief Chen is far-sighted and considerate!" Lu Fei said with admiration.
Dong Zhengguo also nodded.
According to his understanding of the Military Reunion Shanghai Station, Chen Mingchu was quite greedy for money, lustful, accustomed to fighting for power and internal fighting, and his actual abilities were relatively average.
But he didn't expect that after joining the secret service headquarters and taking over the Japanese job, Chen Mingchu actually showed quite impressive abilities.
Just from the consideration just now, this person's ability can be seen clearly.
…
Sheng Shuyu blew out a smoke ring leisurely and stared into Cheng Xuyuan's eyes.
The main purpose of his meeting with Cheng Xuyuan was to appease him.
The bureau chief personally sent an order to Shanghai District before.
Chen Gongshu is the new district chief of Shanghai District and will arrive in Shanghai to take up his post soon.
Over in Shanghai District, special commissioner Li Wanmao returned to Chongqing.
Shanghai District Mayor Zheng Lijun was transferred to Henan to work.
Other important mid-level and high-level cadres are also planned to be transferred from Shanghai District one after another.
The telegram also clarified that Cheng Xuyuan would continue to stay in Shanghai and continue to serve as Shanghai District Secretary.
Not only will Cheng Xuyuan stay in his post, but Cheng Xuyuan’s wife and Shanghai District Radio Director Gui Qian will also continue to stay in Shanghai.
Cheng Xuyuan was quite critical of this arrangement.
Since Ruan Zhiyuan's rebellion, Cheng Xuyuan has been in danger at least three times, and all three times were in danger of barely evading capture.
Especially this time, Wang Tiemu and Chen Mingchu rebelled. He faced Chen Mingchu in the ballroom and led people to round him up. It was a great fate to be able to escape successfully this time.
Therefore, Cheng Xuyuan is now mentally and physically exhausted.
Why can Li Wanmao and Zheng Lijun evacuate Shanghai, and Li Wanmao can go directly back to the rear area in Chongqing? Even Yu Zhengze of the action team is about to be transferred out of Shanghai and have another appointment; on the contrary, he, the person who has been in danger the most, will continue Stay in Shanghai?
What was most unacceptable to Cheng Xuyuan was that Chongqing also ordered Gui Qian to stay in her post.
"Brother Sheng." Cheng Xuyuan smiled bitterly, "Boss Dai asked me to stay in Shanghai and persist in the war of resistance. Brother, I will never say anything. I am determined to serve the country and die to be a benevolent person. It is my wish, but -"
He looked at Sheng Shuyu and put out the cigarette butt, "Your sister-in-law and your nephews and nieces, I really can't bear for them to continue to follow me and be afraid."
"My sister-in-law is a heroine, even the boss praises her a lot." Sheng Shuyu said slowly, "Brother Cheng and Mrs. Sister-in-law have always cooperated tacitly..."
Seeing what Cheng Xuyuan wanted to say, Sheng Shuyu offered Cheng Xuyuan a cigarette, clicked and clicked, and used a lighter to help Cheng Xuyuan light the cigarette, "Of course, Brother Cheng cares about his wife and children, and this is human nature. "
He also lit the cigarette, took a slight puff, exhaled the smoke, and said lightly, "Don't worry, brother, after I return to Chongqing, I will make a proposal to the boss in person and try to arrange for my wife, my nephews, and my nieces to return to Chongqing as soon as possible. .”
"Is this true?" Cheng Xuyuan took two puffs of cigarette and suddenly looked up at Sheng Shuyu and asked.
"I will never dare to lie to Brother Cheng." Sheng Shuyu said solemnly.
"Okay!" Cheng Xuyuan nodded, "I don't believe it when others say this, but when Sheng Shuyu said it, I believe it!"
Sheng Shuyu was overjoyed.
His earnest persuasion, even a combination of soft and hard tactics, finally appeased Cheng Xuyuan.
The matter was settled, the atmosphere relaxed a lot, and the two chatted for a while.
Taking out his pocket watch and checking the time, Sheng Shuyu said, "It's getting late, I should go back."
He should have gone back long ago, but Cheng Xuyuan was always in mood, so he had to waste more words, which wasted time.
With that said, Sheng Shuyu stood up and stretched, "I didn't realize it was so late."
"Brother Sheng, it's my fault that I don't understand the general situation and wasted time." Cheng Xuyuan said with a smile.
Although he was persuaded by Sheng Shuyu, the anger in his heart could not completely dissipate.
"No way, no way, my brother's loyalty to the party and the country is a lesson to the world." Sheng Shuyu laughed dryly and said, "Brother, you are a well-known good luck person within our military command. Spend more time with me, brother, I feel so relaxed all over."
Cheng Xuyuan frowned and looked at Sheng Shuyu, "If you can't speak, don't speak."
However, he knew that Sheng Shuyu had achieved success at a young age and was famously arrogant within the military. It was extremely rare for him to be able to persuade him in a low voice this time.
"Haha." Cheng Xuyuan said with a smile, "If I can lend my good luck to my brother and help you turn disaster into good luck, I don't forget to reward you in the future."
Sheng Shuyu:......
He felt that Cheng Xuyuan's words were unlucky.
…
Cheng Mansion.
The light of the car penetrated the night and shone directly on the gate of Cheng's mansion.
The horn blared twice.
The searchlight on the door of Cheng's mansion immediately lit up like daylight.
The detection hole on the door opened, and a head poked out, "Who is it?"
Tang Xiaoye snorted in her heart, despising "traitors are afraid of death". She rolled down the car window, stuck her head out and shouted, "It's me."
"Miss Tang is here." Tan Kong's head smiled ingratiatingly, "Wait a moment, the door will open now."
The gate of Cheng Mansion is electric and has a track under the door.
Someone inside pressed the switch, and the door immediately slid slowly to both sides.
The car drove into the yard.
Yang Ximei got out of the car, walked around to the other side and opened the door.
Tang Xiaoye got out of the car and handed the Kun bag to Xi Mei.
The driver quickly got out of the car and opened the trunk. The girl with a Kun bag on her wrist took out the gift from the trunk.
"Xiao Ye is here, come in quickly, we've been waiting for you." Bai Ruolan hugged Xiao Zhizhi to greet her at the door of the living room on the first floor, and said with a smile.
"Xiao Zhizhi." Tang Xiaoye stepped forward and hugged Xiao Zhizhi, taking a bite, "Do you miss your aunt?"
Xiao Zhizhi's head tilted to one side, with an expression of unwillingness to talk to Tang Xiaoye.
"I hurt you for nothing." Tang Xiaoye pinched Xiaozhizhi's tender face and followed Bai Ruolan into the living room, "Where is brother Qianfan?"
"Upstairs." Bai Ruolan said with a smile, lowering her voice, "Xiaobao had a fight with his classmates, and your brother was having a heart-to-heart talk with Xiaobao."
"Is it still the same Xiao Ming?" Tang Xiaoye couldn't help laughing and asked.
"Isn't it?" Bai Ruolan said with a smile, "Lu Xiaoming was beaten by Xiaobao every three days, and the child never transferred to another school."
