My years of espionage

Chapter 1475 Emergencies
"Brother Fan, take care of your people." Xiu Yuman breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Cheng Qianfan coming out.

"Idiots!" Cheng Qianfan glared at his men, "Don't you know Sister Yuman?"

As he said that, he went up and kicked one of his men, "How dare you block someone from entering the house at their doorstep."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, signaling his men to disperse.

Then, Cheng Qianfan looked at Tang Hao, who was feeling a little uneasy, with a scrutinizing look on his face.

I've heard of your name for a long time, Comrade Tang Hao, and finally we meet.

……

"Mr. Cheng, I've long heard of your name." Tang Hao took the initiative to extend his hand and shook hands with Cheng Qianfan enthusiastically.

"Editor-in-Chief Tang, I know you." Cheng Qianfan smiled slightly, "I also read the Dong-A Ilbo."

"Mr. Cheng, I welcome your comments and suggestions to encourage me." Tang Hao said happily.

As he said that, he looked at Xiu Yuman and said, "It's getting late, so I won't bother you anymore."

Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly, his eyes flickering as he watched Tang Hao drive away.

"What are you looking at?" Xiu Yuman asked.

"Sister Yuman, is this my future brother-in-law?" Cheng Qianfan asked with a smile.

"Just him?" Xiu Yuman snorted disdainfully, then glared at Cheng Qianfan, "What nonsense are you talking about."

Having said that, she no longer paid attention to Cheng Qianfan and walked into the hall. The sound of her high heels stepping on the floor was very clear in the quiet night.

Cheng Qianfan smiled, lit a cigarette, and stood in the yard smoking.

Sister Yuman, did you just come back from a secret meeting with Comrade Tang Hao?
……

Tang Hao is reflecting on himself.

He secretly warned himself that next time if he needed to send Comrade Xiu Yuman home, he must clear away any suspicious items on his body in advance.

Just now, Cheng Qianfan's bodyguards saw his vehicle approaching and immediately became alert. Someone was coming to search, which scared Tang Hao.

He had a sawed-off gun hidden in his car, which could get him into trouble.

In addition, the party documents in Comrade Xiu Yuman’s bag are also extremely dangerous.

Tang Hao reflected on himself and felt that he was still careless. Although he had just reminded Xiu Yuman not to be careless towards Cheng Qianfan, in fact, he was also subconsciously careless.

Because Xiu Yuman is Cheng Qianfan's sister, both he and Xiu Yuman subconsciously feel that Xiu Yuman is safe and will not be searched or questioned.

But what is an unexpected situation?
That was an unexpected situation just now. If Cheng Qianfan had come down a little later, Cheng Qianfan's bodyguards might have already prepared a search.

Even if Xiu Yuman would not be searched, it would be very bad if weapons were found in the vehicle.

Subsequently, Tang Hao's expression became more serious. He began to realize more deeply how dangerous it was for the Red Party and the anti-Japanese cause to have a counter-revolutionary like Cheng Qianfan in the French Concession who hated the Reds and was pro-Japanese.

It would be great if the Special Technical Red Team was still there.

……

The reunion dinner on the first day of the Lunar New Year is not luxurious, but it is lively.

The dishes include bacon, wind-fried chicken, river fish, and seasonal vegetables, home-cooked hot stir-fries, and then a hot pot around the stove to dispel the chill on these cold days.

Of course, there are also some dishes that Bai Ruolan brought from home.

"This duck is good." He Xuelin picked up a piece of duck meat and gave it to Xiaobao. "It tastes similar to what I had in Nanjing before."

"This was delivered by a special car sent by a friend in Nanjing." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.

"There are also some delicious seasonal dishes." Cheng Qianfan said to Bai Ruolan, "I'll arrange for someone to send some over tomorrow."

"I know." Bai Ruolan nodded and said.

"Oh, no, no." The teacher's wife waved her hands repeatedly, "Your teacher often has social events, and your sister Yuman is like a wild rabbit, often not at home, how can I eat alone?"

As she said this, she looked at her daughter meaningfully.

"Brother Fan, your friend is quite powerful." Seeing that her mother was pointing her finger at her, Xiu Yuman quickly picked up a piece of duck meat and changed the subject.

In the chaos of war, ducks and other New Year's goods are not the most valuable. The car and a safe and smooth journey are the most important things.

"Li Mingzan, the commander of the Nanjing Garrison Division." Cheng Qianfan said, "He is a friend I met when I went to Nanjing last time."

As he said this, he glanced at Xiu Yuman.

Regardless of the value of the information revealed by this sentence, or the fact that Li Mingzuan is a powerful general in Nanjing, and this "Brother Fan's connections in Nanjing" itself, they are all important information for Xiu Yuman.

Xiu Yuman was indeed moved and secretly kept this matter in mind.

"Is your leg injury completely healed?" He Xuelin asked with concern.

"Don't worry, Master's wife, I'm fine now." Cheng Qianfan said.

As he said this, he spat out a mouthful of fish bones and said, "If I can run and jump, it won't be a problem for me to go into the water and catch fish and shrimps. I'm so happy."

"You're asking for a beating." He Xuelin glared at Cheng Qianfan, "Don't take my words lightly. Be careful next time."

"I know."

……

It was already 9:30 in the evening when we returned to Lafede Lucheng Mansion.

Cheng Qianfan rubbed his eyebrows.

Slightly smoked.

"I told you not to drink so much." Bai Ruolan took the warm towel from Xiao Lizi's hand and covered her husband's forehead with it.

"Not much at night, I just drank a little with friends in the morning, and I couldn't stand it in a row." Cheng Qianfan said.

"You drank the wine yourself, you can't blame others." Bai Ruolan said unhappily.

Then she asked, "You also saw the person who sent Sister Yuman back today. How is that person?"

"Did Master's wife ask you to ask?" Cheng Qianfan looked up at his wife and asked with a smile.

"Sister Yuman has been waiting to be married, how can Master's wife not be anxious?" Bai Ruolan said, "You haven't told me yet, what about that person?"

"Tang Hao, the deputy editor-in-chief of Dong-A Ilbo, is a handsome man." Cheng Qianfan said, sitting up and taking a sip of sobering tea. "However, he is several years older than Sister Yuman."

"It's okay to be older. What's most important is one's character," Bai Ruolan asked.

"He is a man who knows the current situation." Cheng Qianfan chuckled and said, "The owner of Dong-A Ilbo is Japanese."

Bai Ruolan understood immediately after hearing this.

"Why are you worrying so much? I think they are just ordinary friends." Cheng Qianfan yawned and said unhappily, "The most important thing is, judging from Sister Yuman's attitude, I don't think she has any intention of getting involved with Deputy Editor-in-Chief Tang at all."

"It's the master's wife who is anxious here, so I'll help ask." Bai Ruolan muttered.

"Okay, take Xiao Zhima to rest early." Cheng Qianfan stood up and took the hot water bottle from Bai Ruolan's hand.

"I'm going to the study. I have some documents to deal with," he said.

"Don't stay up too late." Bai Ruolan warned.

"I know."

……

During the Spring Festival of 1940, the festive atmosphere in the concession seemed stronger than ever before.

Moreover, it seems that during the Chinese New Year, the days pass by faster.

The newspaper said that the days are as long as years, but during the Spring Festival, it seems that the suffering also has a hint of false sweetness.

It snowed in the early morning of the fifth day of the New Year.

The snowflakes were not big and not dense. They floated lightly in the air and finally fell reluctantly, covering the beach of Shanghai with a light layer of white.

In the middle of the morning, no one knew what had happened to the weather, but amid the complaints of the refugees in the French Concession, the snow suddenly started to fall heavily, which attracted more and more residents to come out in the snow to buy firewood and coal briquettes.

Cheng Qianfan raised his hand and touched his nose with the white glove, and his brows furrowed.

This is a crime scene.

A murder occurred in a Shikumen residence in Xingpingli. The owner and his family of four were killed. The house was also ransacked and in a mess.

This tragic murder of an entire family occurred during the Chinese New Year, shocking the entire Shanghai. The Chief of Police of the French Police Station, Mr. Ferguson, personally called the Central Police Station and asked it to solve the case within a time limit.

Ferguson pressured Jin Kemu, and Jin Kemu naturally pushed the matter into Cheng Qianfan's hands.

"Tell me about it." Cheng Qianfan couldn't help but covered his nose again and said with a frown.

"The male owner was Yu Guanming, the owner of Yu's Department Store." Lu Jiufan said, "Also killed were Mrs. Yu, Yu Guanming's eldest son Yu Ziqing, and youngest son Yu Mingji."

As he spoke, Lu Jiu pointed at the scene and said, "Yu Guanming died not far from the door. The initial speculation is that someone knocked on the door, Yu Guanming went to open the door, and was quickly killed."

"When the others saw this, they fled in all directions, but in the end they could not escape the fate of being killed." Lu Jiufan sighed.

"No." Cheng Qianfan shook his head slightly. He came to the body of the male owner, Yu Guanming, and said, "The posture of the body is wrong. It doesn't look like he was killed when he tried to open the door."

As he said that, he squatted down and turned the body over. Seeing the strips of meat that had been chopped off, Cheng Qianfan couldn't help but frown. Then he stood up and waved his hand with some disgust.

"Old Nine, check which house on this street has just been painted." Cheng Qianfan coughed and said.

"Yes."

……

Outside the crime scene, the men were questioning the neighbors. Haozi put his hands in his trouser pockets and glanced around with a cold look.

"Where's Brother Fan?" Li Hao came riding a rickshaw, and a patrolman hurried over to take the rickshaw.

"Investigating the scene inside." said Haozi.

The two men huddled together to smoke and talk in low voices.

"Have you figured it out?" Haozi asked in a low voice.

"Yes." Li Hao nodded, "They are from the Intelligence Department's Second Group."

"The problem is troublesome." Haozi said with a serious expression.

The real identity of the male host, Yu Guanming, is an undercover agent of the Intelligence Department's Group 2. This was just confirmed by Li Hao from Qiao Chuntao.

A hidden intelligence agent of the Shanghai Special Intelligence Department was killed, and his entire family was wiped out. The nature of this incident is extremely serious.

"More trouble is yet to come." Li Hao whispered, "Yu Guanming has seen Taozi."

"What?" Haozi's face changed and he exclaimed.

Then, his expression became extremely serious.

Just as Li Hao said, this emergency was more troublesome than they had imagined.

……

No. 22 Xue Huali Road, the meeting room of the Central Police Station.

"Inhumane! Extremely vicious! Appalling!" Cheng Qianfan slammed the table and shouted in a stern voice, "In the bright and clear world, on New Year's Day, such a horrific massacre of an entire family happened. How outrageous!"

His expression was extremely angry. "This is a provocation to my police station from top to bottom. This is a huge provocation to the long-term peace and stability of the French Concession Central District!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the high hanging plaque and said, "Everyone, what is this?"

"'Protect the country and the people!'" Cheng Qianfan was extremely angry and said indignantly, "This case, this tragedy, is a great irony to our plaque, and it is a great irony to the great praise given to us by the citizens."

As he spoke, he looked around at his men and said, "Everyone, you can express your opinions on this tragedy."

There was silence.

Just as Cheng Qianfan was about to call out the names with a gloomy expression, a voice muttered, "Could it be that Jiang Mule committed the murder?"

"Who said that?" Cheng Qianfan's face changed and he asked in a deep voice, "Who is talking?"

"Reporting to Mr. Cheng, it's my subordinate." A young inspector stood up and saluted.

"Fan Shizhou, sit down quickly. You have no right to speak here." The second patrol deputy chief quickly scolded in a low voice.

"Let him speak. I've said everything. Let's express our opinions." Cheng Qianfan waved his hand, his eyes fixed on the inspector. "Tell me, what is the basis for your judgment that Jiang Mule committed this crime?"

"Well, well." Fan Shizhou was a little nervous and stammered, "What I'm thinking is, doesn't this kind of big and tragic case just fit the criminal characteristics of Jiang Mule?"

All the police officers present looked at Fan Shizhou. Some nodded and seemed to be thinking, some showed an inexplicable smile, and some shook their heads secretly.

"This Jiang Mule is really busy. He has to report for duty during the New Year." A patrolman said to his colleague beside him in a low voice.

"What you said does make some sense." Cheng Qianfan glanced at Fan Shizhou, nodded slightly, and said, "This case is of a bad nature. The murderer is ruthless and will not leave anyone alive. His actions are outrageous to both humans and gods. This kind of case is indeed somewhat in line with Jiang Mule's murder style."

He glanced at Yuan Kaizhou and said, "Captain Yuan."

"My subordinate is here."

"You lead your troops to investigate the Jiang Mule Gang." Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice, "See if there are any conditions to merge the cases related to the Jiang Mule Gang."

"Yes!"

Cheng Qianfan looked around at everyone again, "Everyone, do you have anything else to say about this case?"

As he spoke, he called Haozi's name, "Zhong Guohao, tell me what you think."

……

"Bag duck fall!" Hirai Shinji slapped Shi Lei hard.

"Hai." Yang Changnian covered his mouth and stood at attention quickly, "Taijun, calm down."

Hirai Shinji snorted coldly, glared at Yang Changnian fiercely, but didn't say anything else.

Shi Lei did nothing wrong. It was just that Hirai Shinji was in a bad mood, so he took out his anger by beating and scolding this Chinese man.
