My years of espionage

Chapter 303 Clearing Up the Clues
The car stopped at a relatively hidden alley on Hankou Road.

Cheng Qianfan got off the car.

Entering the alley, in the middle of the alley, he took out the key and opened the door of a house, walked through the yard, exited through the back door, and entered another street.

At the end of the street, there was a simple carport where a black Austin sedan was parked.

"Inspector Cheng." A lame old man nodded and bowed.

Cheng Qianfan handed over a two-yuan French coin and said, "Drink less wine."

"I can't help it, the old man just likes this." The lame old man said with a smile.

Cheng Qianfan opened the car door, turned on the key, and started the car.

Before he was about to leave, he rolled down the car window, opened the glove box, took out a pack of three guns, and threw it to the crippled old man, "Save your cigarettes."

The crippled old man thanked him thousands of times, and Cheng Qianfan drove away.

The streets are bustling.

In the far north, the fall of Beiping and Tianjin did not seem to have brought too much intuitive impact and influence on the largest city in the Far East.

Cheng Qianfan drove all the way, passed through several streets, and stopped at a roadside under the shade of a tree.

He lit a cigarette and took a puff slowly. The breath of tobacco entered from the nasal cavity and trachea, circulated in the lungs, stimulated the brain at the same time, and cleared his tired mind.

He was thinking about what Haozai said.

……

'Self-righteous' Japanese.

He used the word again.

Even if Qiao Chuntao did not confirm that this 'little girl' was a Japanese dwarf through the tattoo on her wrist, Cheng Qianfan could still tell that there was something wrong with this little girl.

A little girl who was almost insulted by the Japanese ronin, did not run away, but reappeared near the scene of the incident, claiming to be looking for a "savior".

Cheng Qianfan's feeling is that sometimes the Japanese are very cunning and extremely insidious, but sometimes they are so self-righteous, they think they think perfectly, but in fact they are extremely stupid and treat others as fools.

What Cheng Qianfan is thinking now is why this Japanese female dwarf is looking for Qiao Chuntao and Jiang Laosan.

This kind of behavior does not conform to Cheng Qianfan's previous analysis of this matter.

Previously, he and Qiao Chuntao analyzed the matter, whether it was the Japanese ronin deliberately designing traps to lure and kill the anti-Japanese compatriots, or the Japanese military trying to use traps to create friction, both behaviors have a characteristic:
Randomness!
They don't care who the hooker is.

Based on this judgment, even if Qiao Chuntao and Jiang Laosan managed to escape, the Japanese side would actually not care too much.

On the contrary, not only will they not continue to search and hunt down, but they will also deliberately press this matter to avoid spreading it, so as not to affect their continued 'fishing'.

Therefore, Cheng Qianfan was very surprised to hear that the 'little girl' was not hiding, but was actually looking for a 'savior'.

This is a very abnormal situation.

What is the purpose of the Japanese doing this?
……

Cheng Qianfan threw the cigarette butt out of the window, took out a cigarette, did not light it, but played with it in his hand.

The current situation is completely beyond his expectations.

The most likely explanation is that both of his previous inferences were wrong.

From the very beginning, the Japanese's actions had the direct purpose of 'finding people', or it could be said that they were directed at Qiao Chuntao and Jiang Laosan.

In the beginning, they were fishing for two fish, Qiao Chuntao and Jiang Laosan.

With this guess, Cheng Qianfan's mind immediately opened up.

Before Qiao Chuntao was injured, his mission with Jiang Laosan was to secretly monitor the Inoue mansion.

The previous guesses and information are like messy balls of thread.

Now, the thinking in his mind is getting clearer and clearer, as if he has a main thread, and when he picks it up, he strings these scattered balls of thread together:
This Japanese female dwarf and those Japanese ronin, their real identities are very likely to be Japanese special of the Inoue mansion.

They discovered that the mansion was being monitored, but they had no way to lock the monitor, so they used this method to 'fish'.

With that, everything straightened out.

Although it was just a guess, Cheng Qianfan was [-]% sure.

……

Wearing a hat and covering up a bit, Cheng Qianfan waded through the water to the door of Yang Changnian's clinic, and saw Yang Changnian using a washbasin to draw water out.

In the afternoon, there was a sudden torrential rain in Shanghai.

Although it was only less than an hour, the rainfall was not small.

"Flooded?" Cheng Qianfan entered the clinic, sat down without caring about the wet stool, and handed Yang Changnian a cigarette.

"This land is a depression, and a toad will suffer even if he urinates." Yang Changnian took the cigarette handed over by the team leader, lit it, and took a puff happily.

"How long will it take for Taozi's injury to heal?" Cheng Qianfan asked.

"It will take at least one month." Yang Changnian said.

"You go to Jiang Mule at night and tell him to arrange Jiang Laosan and Jiang Laosi to Qiao Chuntao's place, and tell Taozi that they are not allowed to go out without my order, and strengthen their vigilance at the same time," Cheng Qianfan said.

"Team leader, what happened?" Yang Changnian asked immediately.

"Qiao Chuntao and Jiang Laosan are being targeted. That Japanese female dwarf is looking for them." When Cheng Qianfan was speaking, he could see a child sitting in a wooden basin rowing a boat outside the door.

He threw the cigarette butt into the water and continued, "I guess the Inoue Mansion found out that they were being watched and took countermeasures. The incident between the Japanese female dwarf and the Japanese ronin itself was a trap aimed at them."

"So, be careful in everything these days."

"Yes!"

"Doctor Yang, how many pills do you prescribe for this medicine?" Cheng Qianfan got up and asked.

"Twice a day, two tablets at a time." Yang Changnian understood, and wrapped it in a small white paper, "Sir, take it well, don't get wet."

The tablet is Jianweixiaoshi tablet, which belongs to household medicine.

"Understood." Cheng Qianfan went out, picked up the white paper-wrapped pills carefully, looked at them, stuffed them into his pocket, waded through the water and left.

Unless it was a sudden situation like Qiao Chuntao's injury before, Cheng Qianfan was already trying his best to avoid too much frequent contact with the rest of his subordinates.

If there are orders that need to be conveyed, he will convey them through Li Hao, Hao Zai, or Yang Changnian.

Needless to say, Li Hao and Hao Zai are his confidantes.

Yang Changnian was chosen because he was a doctor, and he was a well-known doctor in terms of medical skills.

This profession is very good, and anyone who comes here will not arouse too much suspicion.

Similarly, the identity of a doctor also allows Yang Changnian to move freely. He can go out in the name of practicing medicine.

……

Honolulu Road.

Cheng Qianfan came to the door of Huiya Bookstore, pretended to be smoking, and secretly put the information in the abandoned mailbox next to the telephone pole.

The national government has formally submitted a request for Liu Bo's extradition to the French Concession authorities this morning.

　Ask for a full order, ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a reward, ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a collection, thank you.

Thank you very much for the rewards of [Tushan] 1500 starting coins, [Mingchuan Dongshan] 100 starting coins, and [Ouqi_Xu Wuwu] 100 starting coins.
