The Shanghai Police Department is located in Zhabei South District. After the Japanese arrived, the director took his family to take refuge in the concession. Deputy Director Zheng Pingzhou was reluctant to give up his power and surrendered to the Japanese to become the police chief.
Originally, the police station was a no-nonsense special force. Wu Sanlin himself was not from the police station. He was just a gangster from the local youth gang. He shamelessly defected to the Japanese and attracted a group of local ruffians.
The Special High School took this opportunity to assign Wu Sanlin to the police station and gave him the title of a special task force. Wu Sanlin had more than 50 people under his command, not a single policeman. They were all former Qing Gang gangsters.
The Rangers were very unpopular in the police station, and almost everyone scorned Wu Sanlin. A local rogue suddenly became a member of the police station. Is it disgusting or shameful?
Liu Changchuan was cursing in his heart now, what a bullshit Rangers, it might as well be a gang entrenched within the police station.
Captain Wu Sanlin used to be a small leader of the Youth Gang, deputy captain Yu Dadao was the head guard of a casino in Zhabei, and the members of the Rangers were all members of the Youth Gang from the Chinese community.
Tsk tsk, I really don’t know where the devils found these guys. They are outrageous, outrageous.
Liu Changchuan looked down on Wu Sanlin, but he also knew that the Qing Gang was a mixed bag of dragons and snakes and was ruthless. The Japanese used them because they had no bottom line and dared to kill people and set fires in the concession area.
In particular, there were many anti-Japanese personnel in the concession area, and it was difficult for the Japanese to come forward. Wu Sanlin was the most suitable person. They didn't even need to pay them. The police station paid them wages, and they had to grab the rest by themselves.
…
"Brother Liu, this is my office. You can just stay in the outer room. Don't worry. If I'm not here, you can stay at home during the holidays." Wu Sanlin patted his chest and put his arms around Liu Changchuan's shoulders, as if we were brothers.
"Then thank you Captain Wu. From now on, the captain can just call me Dachuan. Liu Changchuan agreed."
"Hahaha, okay then, I'll call you Brother Dachuan."
Wu Sanlin was busy, so Liu Changchuan had nothing to do and visited the police station's Rangers. After a day of investigation, he had a thorough understanding of Wu Sanlin's Rangers.
In fact, there are less than 10 people left in the Rangers. Most of the others are hanging out in the concession area, serving as spies to help the Japanese find out information. If you are lucky, you may encounter anti-Japanese personnel and hand them over to the Special High School to receive rewards.
Liu Changchuan's life was very standard in the next few days. He reported to the police station in the morning and did nothing for the whole day. Apart from drinking tea, he went to the guard to play chess with Lao Wangtou to kill time. His life was quite comfortable.
…
In a casino in the French Concession, Jiang Shan, who had put on makeup, looked coldly at a man in his 30s at the card table. The man's name was Lin Gang. He was the Intelligence Section of the Military Command Shanghai Station, leader of the Special Intelligence Group, and had the rank of captain.
Jiang Shan knew that Lin Gang had a bad habit of gambling, and today he finally got the chance. Jiang Shan lowered his hat, glanced at the other gambling table, and nodded to the two middle-aged men.
Ring ring ring…
Masago Yoshimoto, who had returned home from get off work, was about to lie down to sleep when the phone rang.
He picked up the phone, and Xiaozhe Zhenger's voice came over there, "Section Chief, Jiang Shan discovered Lin Gang, should we arrest him immediately, or should we follow Lin Gang to the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Section.
"Don't arrest him. Lin Gang's arrest will arouse the suspicion of the military commander. Follow Lin Gang to the military commander's lair and catch them all." Masago Yoshimoto shouted excitedly into the phone.
"It's the section chief. It's just that we are short of manpower. It's best to give me some reinforcements." Kotetsu Seiji was on the other end of the phone asking Yoshimoto Masago for help.
Masago Yoshimoto immediately thought of the Rangers, but after thinking for a while he shook his head. Professional agents were needed for surveillance. The Rangers were capable of murder, arson, extortion and kidnapping.
Lin Gang is a professional agent of the Military Intelligence Section, and Wu Sanlin's Rangers are not good at all. It seems that we can only use the personnel of the Special High School Headquarters. I hope it will not attract the attention of the French Concession patrol room.
The thought of the Frenchman Masago Yoshimoto made him gnash his teeth with hatred. The consulate negotiated with the French Concession Public Security Bureau for several months. Although some small progress was made, the empire was allowed to send personnel, but it was not allowed to carry guns.
Damn the French guys, if arresting anti-Japanese people without guns is no different from sending them to death, how can they expect the help of the police from the French Concession patrol house full of holes?
…
"I smiled smugly, smiled smugly."
After getting off work, Liu Changchuan hummed a tune and returned to South Alley, greeting his familiar neighbors along the way.
Hey, why is Yang Xiaohong here today?
"Dachuan, what have you been busy with recently?" Yang Xiaohong saw Liu Changchuan coming back and opened the door of the barber shop to say hello.
"I'm looking for a job. I found a job at the police station a few days ago." Liu Changchuan didn't hide it. There was no need. They were all neighbors. We would know each other sooner or later.
"You actually became a policeman. How much money can you make in a month? You can't even pay the rent except for food." Yang Xiaohong was very surprised. He originally thought Liu Changchuan was going to do business, but he didn't expect to become a gangster.
"I'm not a police officer. I just work as a Japanese translator for the police station. The salary is much higher than that of a police officer." Liu Changchuan walked up to Yang Xiaohong and handed over a cigarette, took out a match and lit it.
"Oh, you are still an educated person." Yang Xiaohong muttered while taking a breath of cigarette.
She felt a little inferior in her heart. Her family's conditions were not good and she was raised by her sister. If her brother-in-law's house hadn't been big and she could earn a good income from shaving people's hair, she might have entered the Devil's Cave before she reached adulthood. She would never be as free as she is now.
Yang Xiaohong sometimes hated herself for not living up to expectations. When her brother-in-law Wang Gui sent someone to send him to a girls' school, he only went to school for three days before he knocked out one of the teeth of the girl at the same table. His family was very powerful. She was expelled from school.
It would be great if she could continue to go to school. The more Yang Xiaohong thought about it, the more angry she became, and she suddenly gave herself a slap in the face.
"You are sick." Liu Changchuan was startled. What's wrong with him? He mutilated himself for no reason. Could it be that Yang Xiaohong has a tendency to self-abuse? Do you want to stay away from this crazy woman?
"I want you to take care of it."
Yang Xiaohong glared at Liu Changchuan, "You work at the police station. If I encounter trouble in the future, you have to help me. Ever since Boss Huang retired and Boss Du left, Shanghai has become increasingly chaotic."
"Where's Boss Zhang? Isn't it possible that Boss Zhang can't stabilize the situation by relying on the Japanese?"
"Hmph, Boss Zhang was assassinated twice in a row, and now he doesn't even dare to leave the house." Yang Xiaohong sneered.
Liu Changchuan also pouted. The Juntong Shanghai Station now has enough manpower to carry out assassinations everywhere. Those who surrendered to the Japanese and became traitors are all frightened. Coupled with the ruthlessness of the civilian anti-traitor groups, let alone the concession areas, traitors are in the Chinese capital. Not safe.
