Liu Changchuan was exercising and practicing flying needles at home while waiting for news that Yang Lianqin ambushed Xu Haifeng. He had a pessimistic attitude towards this operation. Of course he hoped that Yang Lianqin would kill Xu Haifeng, a big traitor, but the chance of success was at most 50%.
"Here's a pack of cigarettes." Liu Changchuan walked into Lao Zhang's grocery store.
Then Lao Zhang said with an ugly face: "The operation failed. Three of Xu Haifeng's bodyguards died, and two of our bodyguards died. Damn it, they actually put a submachine gun in the trunk, otherwise the team leader would really have Can kill Xu Haifeng."
"Where is the team leader?" Liu Changchuan suddenly felt worried about Yang Lianqin's safety.
"The team leader is fine and has returned to the French Concession. He asked me to tell you that he will not be coming in the short term."
"The operator and the radio station are at the Hengfeng repair shop on the next street. They are repairing the radio as a cover. I will tell you the secret code of the connection. If there is a problem at my place, you can go there by yourself if you have something urgent."
"I hope I never go." Liu Changchuan took a deep look at Lao Zhang and muttered.
He hopes to persevere with Lao Zhang until the end of the Anti-Japanese War. If Lao Zhang is arrested and cannot withstand the torture tools, he may be finished. Of course, normally, as long as there are no problems between himself and the radio operator, Lao Zhang is still safe.
The most important thing was himself and Yang Lianqin. Only he and Lao Zhang knew the address of the telegraph operator, and only he and Yang Lianqin knew Lao Zhang's details.
It sounds safe, but if something goes wrong with Yang Lianqin or himself, one can imagine the outcome that Lao Zhang and the telegraph operator will face.
…
"Hey, isn't this Liu Translator?" Liu Changchuan came out of the grocery store and turned to West Street when he saw someone calling him from the opposite side. Liu Changchuan was confused. The man was in his 40s, wearing a long gown and Pingji cloth shoes. At first glance, he looked like him. The boss, but he didn’t know him.
"Who are you?" Liu Changchuan asked tentatively.
"Young translator Liu often forgets things. I am Chen Tang, a neighbor of Dr. Huang. Our cloth shop is next to Dr. Huang's clinic. I have met translator Liu several times."
"It turns out to be Boss Chen." Liu Changchuan stepped forward and raised his hand.
"I don't want to be a boss. I'm just making ends meet." Chen Tang returned the gesture.
"I wonder where Boss Chen is going?" Liu Changchuan asked as he had nothing to say.
"Invite a friend to dinner. I'll ask Liu to translate if I have the chance in the future."
"Well, let's meet again when we have the chance."
Liu Changchuan and Chen Tang went to the police station separately. He came here every few days, mainly to see what news was out there. The Rangers had no other abilities, and they all knew about the bullshit.
Liu Changchuan works here, his salary is a trivial matter, and he can get a lot of gossip. But don't look down on these gossips. There is someone outside the police chief, who is such and such.
Chief Qian's wife in the city hall stole someone, the gendarmerie commander quarreled with the dispatched army, and the extra-high school department transferred manpower from the mainland. These are all intelligence. Don't underestimate these small things. There is no telling when they will be used in the future.
Liu Changchuan specially prepared a small notebook for this purpose and secretly jotted it all down in case he needed it in the future.
"Liu Translator, please accompany me tonight to socialize. I want to invite someone to dinner and need a translator." Liu Changchuan was about to leave after inquiring about the gossip, when Yu Dadao stopped him.
"Who is the captain inviting to dinner?" Liu Changchuan asked directly, lighting a cigarette.
"Hey, can you find out who I'm inviting to dinner?" Yu Dadao looked displeased.
"Captain, don't get me wrong. Captain Wu used to invite people from the gendarmerie to dinner. Why don't I just ask to see if I know them?" Liu Changchuan spread his hands. He didn't want Yu Dadao, a bastard, to misunderstand them.
"There is another matter, tell me quickly." Yu Dadao was immediately interested. He wanted to know who Wu Sanlin invited to dinner and who he relied on.
"Lieutenant Otani Shohei of the Military Police. Captain Wu once hosted a banquet for him. Speaking of this, I also got to know Mr. Otani by chance. I helped my neighbor get people from the Military Police. It only cost a lot of money. That was last time The brother-in-law of Doctor Huang you arrested." Liu Changchuan whispered to Yu Dadao quietly.
He told Yu Dadao this mainly because he wanted to have a good relationship with this guy. The Rangers had a large number of spies in the concession area. Although these people were useless, they might still be able to get some useful information.
"Yeah?"
Yu Dadao rubbed his hands, his little eyes rolled around, and he called Liu Changchuan to his office and asked, "How much did you spend on helping Dr. Huang go to the gendarmerie to redeem him?"
"His brother-in-law had a bit of a hard time printing anti-Japanese leaflets. It took two big yellow croakers to get it done." Liu Changchuan told the truth.
"So much money?" Yu Dadao blurted out.
Then I swallowed hard and thought: Two large yellow croakers are worth 600 yuan. The damn Japanese really know how to make money. I have to think of ways to make money. Just framing the small traders seems to be too little money.
In the evening, Liu Changchuan followed Yu Dadao to wait for someone at a Japanese food shop. The person Yu Dadao was entertaining was not a member of the gendarmerie or a person from the special higher education course, but a businessman from the Japanese Concession.
Yu Dadao told Liu Changchuan privately that he had a batch of seized items to sell, but the Chinese businessmen gave him little money, so he tried to contact the Japanese businessmen.
"Cheers, hahaha, don't worry Yu Sang, I'll take all your goods."
"Then I'll trouble you, Maeda-kun."
Liu Changchuan felt extremely fed up when he saw the two guys drinking and complimenting each other with blushing faces.
This businessman named Maeda was obviously a demolition dealer. He took goods from Yu Dadao and resold them to other large Japanese trading houses. They said he was a businessman because they looked up to him. Maeda was just a second-rate dealer.
"Brother, don't worry, brother, I will make great contributions soon, and the special high class will definitely reward me when the time comes."
On the way back, Yu Dadao, who had drunk a lot of wine, was in high spirits and bragging to Liu Changchuan, clamoring that he would be promoted soon, and said that the chief of the police station would be his sooner or later.
"What the captain said is that the position of police chief will be yours sooner or later." Liu Changchuan responded with a smile.
But I despise you in my heart. With your virtue, you still want to be the police chief. Hehe, just dream.
"Brother, don't believe it. I have actually...?" Yu Dadao died of drunkenness before he could finish his words.
Damn it, you just finished talking.
After Liu Changchuan sent Yu Dadao back to the police station's special forces, his face immediately darkened. He didn't know if Yu Dadao was bragging, but Liu Changchuan was frightened by his statement that he would make great achievements soon.
The main job of the Rangers is to operate in the concession area. Normally, the losers of the Rangers can't do anything serious, but if they really stumble upon a dead mouse and find some clues, they will definitely severely damage the anti-Japanese forces.
It's okay if Liu Changchuan doesn't know. He is in a salty state now, but he still pretends not to know. He always feels guilty. Is Yu Dadao just bragging, or has he really discovered something big? He must solve this matter as soon as possible. Check properly.
