Zhang Xiaolin was definitely afraid of death. If not, he would not have asked Wang Yan to go to the public concession, but would have gone directly to the French Concession. What's more, the three tycoons of the Green Gang all made their fortunes in the French Concession, which can be regarded as their hometown.
However, compared to Wang Yan, the powerful detective in the French Concession, who had 180 guns and subordinates with law enforcement powers, the French Concession could no longer be called Zhang Xiaolin's home base. In the French Concession, no matter who the person is, as long as Wang Yan can live in it by himself, no matter whether it is in his jurisdiction or not, that means arresting people, and nothing will work. As a police officer at this time, framing someone is a required professional skill.
In fact, the current police system in the Public Concession and the French Concession is very different from that in Hong Kong Island. In the past, Wang Yan served as the Royal Police of Hong Kong Island, and finally became the Commissioner of Police. He is very familiar with all kinds of business.
This time he gave Zhang Xiaolin face, not because he was afraid of Zhang Xiaolin, but because there was no conflict of interest between the two at present, and Zhang Xiaolin was indeed powerful and backed by the Japanese. It was not a wise move to break out a conflict without any purpose. Now I have made my money back and made an extra 50,000 yuan, which is the best result.
As for the revenge that may come in the future after that old guy Gao Yunchang is let go, this possibility will most likely not happen. No one wants to seek death, especially Gao Yunchang, who is not young anymore. What he wants is to enjoy his old age comfortably, and he will not seek death on his own.
As for Zhang Xiaolin's payment, the answer is simpler. He just paid in advance, and he was not really asked to pay. Later, Gao Yunchang not only had to pay back the 250,000 yuan, but also gave him another 108,000 yuan in life-saving money. This was basically the majority of Gao Yunchang's net worth.
At this point, this emergency incident has come to an end. Everyone is happy except that the Japanese suffered a loss...
Qi Si drove out of the public concession and returned to the French Concession. They parked at a hot pot restaurant on Lafayette Road. The two of them ran into the store through the rain and sat at the window in the corner as usual.
Even though it was raining today and it was impossible for the little beggars to find him, Wang Yan was still very extravagant. Regardless of whether there is food or not, the table must be filled. The persona, no matter whether anyone sees it or not, must always be maintained. Over time, it becomes the 'real self', and no one can see the flaws. Of course, Wang Yan basically plays his true self here. After all, he became extravagant, and the foolish kings of all dynasties had to lift the coffin board and beat up the Confucian scholars who ruined their reputation. Open your dog eyes and see, what the hell is a fool?
So on a table, apart from pots filled with carbon, the rest were all kinds of plates and bowls. There are beef, mutton and vegetables to be boiled, as well as some freshly made cold cuts and stir-fries. There is no shortage of river fish and seafood. They were all delivered in the morning. They are still alive and very fresh.
Wang Yan and Qi Si sat opposite each other, with various ingredients surging in the pot in the middle. The two of them rolled up their arms and sleeves and ate the hot-pot meat from the bottom of the spicy pot. They scooped up the big pile with chopsticks and dipped it into the pot. The prepared sauce was stuffed into his mouth, and his taste buds stimulated by the seasoning felt the aroma of the meat. Wang Yan drank a small amount of wine, and Qi Si drank a drink, and ate the food with great pleasure.
In the past, as an out-and-out northerner, Wang Yan was not very good at eating spicy food. Besides having a bad gastrointestinal condition, he basically couldn't eat much spicy food. This made him less happy, because there were many spicy dishes, but he couldn't eat much. Since receiving the care of his living father, his body has been strengthened many times and has almost reached an inhuman level. These small spicy tastes are naturally not a big deal to him. He will not have gastrointestinal problems, nor will he have any burning the next day. The butt is purely about enjoying the spiciness, it feels pretty good.
On a rainy day, it goes well with spicy hot pot.
Tian Biao walked into the store holding an umbrella, and what he saw was Wang Yan enjoying himself. He waved down the shop owner who greeted him enthusiastically and told him that he was looking for someone to bring him a pair of dishes and chopsticks. He closed his umbrella and shook the rain off it a few times. Looking at Wang Yan's casual eyes, he walked over with a smile.
Qi Si noticed Wang Yan's eyes looking behind him. He also looked back and said, "Brother Yan?"
Wang Yan knew what Qi Si meant, shook his head and said: "It's okay, go inside and make room for him, you should eat."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Biao had already walked over, cupped his hands in front of Wang Yan, put his umbrella aside, and sat next to Qi Si without saying anything, "Long time no see, Inspector Wang."
Watching the waiter put on the dishes and leave, Wang Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's been a long time, I haven't seen you, I saw your big moves, they are really powerful. The results are quite fruitful, not worse than the results of a battle involving ten thousand people. I heard that it is basically No loss?"
"It's not as small as I thought." Tian Biao shook his head, picked up a chopstick of meat from the pot, put it into his mouth, and muttered: "After the war, statistics show that more than a hundred people died on the side of the Loyalty and Salvation Army. , more than 500 people were injured, and more than 200 of them were seriously injured. Even if they were cured, they would not be able to fight. The Red Party guerrillas suffered a lot of casualties. They bombed the railways and robbed prisons. Although the main force was blocked by Pei Min during its retreat, it was still surrounded by some military police and suffered many casualties.
But overall, it was indeed a big win. After all, on the frontal battlefield, we may not be able to exchange five or six lives for one Japanese. Everyone was happy about this action, and so were the committee members, who praised it all the time. We have rescued so many backbones of the party and state, so everyone is happy. "
"Seeing how happy you are, have you been promoted?"
"No, I already have the rank of captain, and it is not easy to be promoted to a colonel. Besides, the main force of this operation is the Loyalty and Salvation Army. Although our Shanghai Station also played some role, and I even participated in the operation with them, but After all, it was a little worse. But this time the operation was successful, the results were big and the losses were small. Everyone on the committee was happy, and I was credited with a meritorious service. If I have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds next time, I will be considered for promotion. Then I was considered a good candidate at that time. I couldn’t help it. I came from a poor family, my resume was not good, and there was no one on my list..."
Wang Yan knew in his heart that Tian Biao was dissatisfied. There must be a captain who was less meritorious than him at Shanghai Station and was promoted to major. This is a perfectly normal thing. When hiring people with bald heads, people from the same hometown are most favored. Zhejiang people within the Kuomintang are highly valued, and then there are people who were born before the seventh period of Huangpu. These are the direct descendants of the bald heads. If he is a Huangpu student and a Zhejiang native, and if he is a Fenghua native, then as long as he is a little capable and does a few beautiful things, he will rise to prominence within the Kuomintang. Affected by this, many other people within the Kuomintang also employed people in the same way. In addition, counting the relatives of the seven aunts and eight aunts, a huge Kuomintang relationship network was built.
But Wang Yan doesn't care about this. After all, he doesn't associate with the Kuomintang, so it has nothing to do with him.
He shook his head and smiled, then got straight to the point, looking at Fatty Tian who had turned his grief and anger into appetite: "You came to me because of what happened today, right?"
"Inspector Wang is a smart man. He told me my purpose right away." Tian Biao complimented, but he didn't stop using his chopsticks to compete with Qi Si...
Speaking of which, the life of these agents was not that happy, it was quite miserable. Fighting at the front is difficult, the rear is under pressure, and the upper echelons are under pressure. This is the current situation of the Kuomintang. Funds and subsidies are not that abundant, but maintaining the operation of such a large organization requires a lot of expenses. And they don't earn that much from their cover identities. Now that Shanghai's prices are soaring, they don't have the money to eat a big meal like Wang Yan, eating a small portion and throwing away a large portion. To put it bluntly, the little beggars who ate leftovers with Wang Yan were more handsome than them.
As for the Shanghai underground party, let alone that. Hundreds or thousands of people were basically supported by Wang Yan alone, and weapons and ammunition were also sold by him, with his left hand and his right hand. In addition, they have their own business companies and red capitalists for development. In terms of funds, they are much more generous than the Shanghai Station of Military Reunion. It's just that these red party members are really hard-working. Unless there is a need for high consumption to cover their identity, otherwise, if they have no funds to run the organization, they basically purchase materials from various channels and send them back to the Soviet area.
Of course, Wang Yan was good at that. He frowned and asked, "Shouldn't your intelligence channels not know what happened? The Japanese have already deployed people in the patrol room, and you and the Red Party must have them too. You all You’re here to build a relationship with me, but you haven’t had any contact with the other detectives?”
"Of course there are people, but our people don't have such a high position as you. The other detectives are all human beings. If you don't see the rabbit, don't let the eagle do it. If there is no benefit, don't do the work. Let me tell you, you should be more careful. As far as we know, there are already detectives who have secretly defected to the Japanese."
"Tell me your name. Although there are not many detectives, there are still about ten people."
"Yuan Liangsong from Foch Road." Tian Biao raised his head and looked at Wang Yan: "Can you reveal what happened today? You also know that we are engaged in intelligence. There is such a big movement today, but we don't know the truth. Then It’s really a life-threatening situation.”
"Speaking of which, it's your fault." Wang Yan sighed again and drank a glass of depressed wine: "It's all because of you and the Red Party's prison robbery. So many people were exiled. Didn't they all go to the public?" Is there a French Concession in the Concession? The Japanese are arresting people everywhere like crazy. You have also seen the attitude of the French. They just let us patrols maintain order and collect the bodies afterwards..."
Tian Biao listened to the whole process in stunned silence. He did not expect such a coincidence. He just wanted to completely control what the detective had the power to do. In the end, he unexpectedly caught the lurking Japanese spy under his command and pulled out the carrot. It was very dramatic to bring out the mud and dig out a group of Japanese spies. For a person who does not want to resist Japan, this can be regarded as contributing to the fight against Japan. No matter how you say it, it is a matter of harming the Japanese.
After feeling this way, he frowned and asked: "I received news before that you left the prison room and went to Zhang Xiaolin's appointment. What did he want to see you for?"
"You didn't listen well. The old man my Japanese spy worships is Gao Yunchang, and this old guy Gao Yunchang is related to Zhang Xiaolin. I kidnapped Gao Yunchang's whole family, can Zhang Xiaolin find a way to save them?"
"Then you agree to let him go?"
Qi Si on the side chuckled, put a plate of meat into the pot, and interjected: "Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, will you let it go if it's yours?"
Qi Si is not stupid, nor is he ignorant. Mainly, this kind of thing cannot be hidden. Because there are too many people involved, and Gao Yunchang, the master of suffering, will all be known sooner or later. When he interrupted, he was just pretending to be coquettish for Wang Yan.
Tian Biao's eyes widened suddenly and he looked at Wang Yan: "So, not only did you not lose money this time, but you also made fifty thousand US dollars?"
"If you are calculating money, then it is indeed like this." Wang Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But do you think that fifty thousand US dollars is a lot for me? The most important thing is the Japanese. This time I ruined their big thing, so that They were so passive and paid such a high price, but they could still let me go. Do you think I can still cope with it like before? It's definitely impossible. I have to show my own value, and there is greater value among the Japanese. Only in this way can I continue to be chic.
You should be careful. Let me make it clear first. If you fall into my hands, I will definitely not be able to protect you, let alone protect you. But you can rest assured that I will not take your lives to help me get ahead among the Japanese. The days after this will be difficult..."
"I understand, I understand. These days, life is not easy for anyone. On the contrary, it was because your life was so smooth before, that's why it was abnormal." Tian Biao nodded repeatedly and smiled bitterly.
"I just mentioned Zhang Xiaolin, why don't you take action? He is a serious traitor. I heard that when he defected to the Japanese before, he was seeking errands for the mayor of Shanghai and the governor of ZJ. This old guy is old-hearted. If you can kill Zhang Xiaolin and Dai Yunong show his face to Commissar Chiang, your promotion to Major will be a sure thing, and you won’t be able to become a small operations captain."
"Nan Na, you should also know that we did an operation before. Eight submachine guns and more than ten pistols were all used by the old guy. After that, he became a frightened bird and became an old bastard. He is also the boss when traveling. Due to the pomp and circumstance, we have no chance to make a move. That person is on our Virgo must-kill list, do you think we don’t want to make a move?"
"This old guy is too old to gamble or play with women. He has been suppressed by Huang Jinrong and Du Yong for decades. He only wants to be in a high position. I heard that he has been hiding at home, except for wanting to I don’t leave much at all.”
Wang Yan shook his head and said: "But if there is no chance, then create an opportunity. How did the Japanese deal with me before? They kidnapped my nanny's son and threatened him. There are many people serving Zhang Xiaolin. Is it okay to bribe the cook and poison him? Ask him Isn't it a good idea to know where the vegetables are bought from and directly manipulate them? Also, the old guy is so old, so he will definitely drink medicine to treat it. Find out which doctor is responsible for it, and directly use medicine to poison it. This is for an experienced person. As a doctor, it's not a big problem, right? Or you can bribe his guards, or you can arrange for operational experts to recruit guards, okay? Unless this old guy never contacts outsiders, you have a lot of ideas.
At the worst, you can bribe the detective over there and organize a manpower attack on his residence. I don't believe how tight the defense can be. It all depends on how determined you are. It's nothing more than a matter of time, just plan it out slowly. You punish and punish people every day, but you are all small people, so what's the use? Those traitors who defected to the Japanese would only think that their position was not high enough and they were too easy to kill. This is wrong. If you want to do something big, do something big. This will be more of a deterrent, and the name of your military commander will be more of a deterrent. "
Tian Biao was thinking with his eyes. The methods Wang Yan said were all feasible. Of course he was very tempted. But unfortunately, he was just a squad leader. He had the power to plan and execute actions, but he did not have the power to select targets. He is just a little leader who does the dirty work. If he hadn't met Wang Yan once before and left an impression, he shouldn't be doing this kind of contact with Wang Yan.
However, he did not express his position, let alone leave. Instead, he talked to Wang Yan about the current situation, and stayed with Wang Yan for such a dinner before leaving.
Seeing Tian Biao walking away with an umbrella against the rain, Qi Si sat in the car and couldn't help pouting: "I think this fat guy is just here to make a living. No wonder he has grown so fat. He can really eat."
"Okay, we just made 50,000 US dollars today, what's left of his meal? Let's go home and sleep. This day is quite thrilling, so we need to have a good rest."
"It's not that I'm reluctant to eat, it's this fat guy who's snatching the meat I cooked, and I haven't snatched it from him yet..." Qi Si's teeth itched with hatred, he took a deep breath, put the car in gear and left...
It was still the same teahouse on Xiafei Road. This time Tian Biao was given the rare opportunity to sit down and report. He told exactly what he had learned. He looked at Wang Tianfeng opposite who was calmly drinking tea and said with a smile: "Ke. Commander, Wang Yan was unlucky enough. He wanted to deal with his subordinates, but he dug out a bunch of Japanese people. Not only did he make trouble for himself, but he also got 200,000 US dollars in them. Although he got them back from elsewhere in the end, But it will be impossible for him to fool the Japanese people in the future."
Wang Tianfeng raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said calmly: "What kind of food did you eat with Wang Yan?"
"Hot pot." Tian Biao was not embarrassed at all: "Isn't this just catching up? Anyway, if he can't eat it, he will throw it away. It's raining today and there are no little beggars waiting outside. It would be a waste if I don't eat it. Speaking of this, section chief, let's You have to be careful about the funding. It's true that we are willing to fight against Japan at the risk of our lives, but brothers also have to support their families, and life is difficult. Don't look at the good food Wang Yan and I have, but this is not a good feeling in our hearts."
Wang Tianfeng looked at him calmly: "You talk a lot. Is it because you're full?"
Tian Biao couldn't stand Wang Tianfeng's sudden change. He smiled coquettishly and changed the subject: "Section Chief, this time Wang Yan unintentionally dug up so many Japanese spies. It can be regarded as fighting against Japan." Did a good thing.”
"Unintentional? You believe him when he says it? Why can't he deliberately make things worse? He said that there are many people who know, so he can't report it to the police. It's not that you don't know his methods. Not to mention seven or eight people know about it, just ten Seven or eight people know it, and he can shut them up and suppress this matter."
"Can't you? He said that he originally thought that the captain was just close to the Japanese, but he didn't expect that the captain was Japanese..."
Looking at Tian Biao who stopped talking, Wang Tianfeng snorted: "Does it have anything to do with whether he can suppress it or not?"
"If this is the case, then Wang Yan's city is too deep, and he can be called scheming." Tian Biao took a long breath, then frowned and asked: "But why did he do this? Doesn't it do him any good?"
"Can't it be for the sake of resisting Japan?"
"Just him? Who in Shanghai doesn't know that he is greedy for life and afraid of death?"
"If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, you can't resist Japan?"
There is no doubt that Wang Tianfeng is a new hero who has the righteousness of his family and country. He took the initiative to die in order to execute the plan and let the national army win on the frontal battlefield. He is actually a man of faith, doctrine, and spirit. Therefore, he also wanted to believe that people who were greedy for life and afraid of death could resist Japan. Besides, how many people in this world are not greedy for life and not afraid of death? How many of those soldiers fighting on the front line want to die? Aren’t they all fighting for their lives with the Japanese? So why can't Wang Yan be anti-Japanese?
However, he has always maintained the suspicion he should have. As he taught Mingtai, trust no one. But no matter how doubtful he was, he couldn't explain why Wang Yan would do such a thing that was detrimental to him. Although I didn't lose any money, I had to tie myself deeper with the Japanese.
He shook his head and said: "If it is unintentional, then Wang Yan is memorizing the words. If it is intentional, it can only be for the sake of resisting Japan. Besides, do you have any other explanation?"
"Yes, he talks about being greedy for money, lust, and fear of death, but in terms of actions, he has never been faulty. We have also had a good relationship with him." Tian Biao patted his head and said: "By the way, Section Chief, Wang Yan asked me, why don't we sanction Zhang Xiaolin. I said there is no chance, and he told me that there is no chance, then create opportunities... I think he is right, Section Chief, we should find a way to sanction Zhang Xiaolin. .
This old guy is really devoted to the Japanese, providing money and help. Our brothers are fighting desperately on the front line, and this old guy is behind to collect supplies for the Japanese. Damn it. In addition, if our sanctions are successful, you, Lieutenant Colonel, who has been with you for several years, will definitely be able to make some moves, and our funds will also be more generous. More importantly, brothers can also show their faces in front of the committee. They clamor to be loyal to the party and the country every day, but how can there be any encouragement from the commendation of commissions? The Shanghai Station suffered heavy losses before, and the morale of the brothers was low. If it succeeds, it can also boost the morale of the army. "
Wang Tianfeng glanced at Tian Biao and sneered: "I think you want to make a move?"
"There's nothing we can do, section chief. No one above us can talk to us, and we don't have as much money as Wang Yan. Even if we do, we can't even give money to you. If we want to get ahead, don't we have to earn some real credit? I have always known that you want to do things, but if you want to do things, you also need a high position, not power."
Wang Tianfeng didn't answer. He drank tea in silence for a while before he spoke: "Arrange to go down and investigate Zhang Xiaolin."
Although Tian Biao's words are very confidential, he is right. How can he do things without being promoted? He also wants to be promoted...
