My years of espionage

Chapter 384 Innocent
"There's an old saying in China, it's called self-satisfaction, it's what you are now." Pete said after taking a look at Cheng Qianfan.

Of course, he also knew that Cheng Qianfan was not bragging, with the current energy of Inspector Cheng, if he wanted to kill someone without anyone noticing, he could do it.

On the surface, the French Concession is dominated by the French, but in private, the inspectors and detectives of the police station, the gang leaders of the Green Gang, these people secretly 'maintain' the underground order in Shanghai.

However, Cheng Qianfan's complacent attitude made Pete feel uncomfortable, so he couldn't help but sarcasm a few words.

Cheng Qianfan smiled, but did not refute anything.

He's a Japanese Miyazaki Kentaro in his 'bones'. With the Japanese army attacking Shanghai, Miyazaki Kentaro will inevitably swell. Maybe Miyazaki himself 'doesn't realize', this is a subconscious reaction.

"I'm just a middleman." Cheng Qianfan said, and slowly stacked out fifteen gold bars from the suitcase, "120 large yellow croakers, I will take the least amount, fifteen."

"Come on, what's the matter?" Pete glanced at the gold bars in the suitcase, touched his nose, and asked.

"The Daxin Iron and Steel Factory in Zhabei is going to move the factory equipment and personnel out of Shanghai." Cheng Qianfan said slowly, playing with a gold bar in his hand, "They were blocked at the checkpoint in the Zhabei Concession, and the other party's request was to be within twelve Pass within an hour."

"Zhabei Concession?" Pete looked at Cheng Qianfan with a half-smile, "Fei Li's site, Fei is your friend, why don't you show up?"

"I reckon that there are Japanese instigations behind this." Cheng Qianfan lowered his voice, "You know, I have a pretty good relationship with the Japanese."

Pete understood that this guy Cheng Qianfan wanted to earn the intermediary fee, but he was also worried that he would offend the Japanese, so he hid behind his back and secretly asked him to come forward.

……

"I can't do anything." Pete shook his head, "I'm not familiar with Fali."

"You don't need to contact Feili." Cheng Qianfan said, "Our target is Viscount Cage of the Ministry of Industry in the International Concession. As long as he speaks, everything will be fine."

Smith, the police director of the British and American International Settlement Police Department, returned to Washington to report on his duties. Now the Public Settlement Police Department is headed by David Cage, who is a director of the Ministry of Industry and Technology, and now also serves as the deputy police chief of the International Settlement Police Department.

"I'm not familiar with Viscount Cage." Pete said calmly.

"Yes, I know you are not familiar." Cheng Qianfan gave Pete a meaningful look, "However, I heard that Viscount David Cage loves his daughter Miss Ruth Cage very much."

He accompanied Pete to "appreciate" the air battle on the rooftop of the Sassoon Building yesterday, and found Pete and Ruth, a pair of dogs and men, secretly going on a tryst.

When Cheng Qianfan left the Sassoon Building, he casually asked the building staff, and easily found out the identity of Miss Ruth:

The youngest daughter of David Cage, Viscount of the British Empire, director of the Ministry of Industry in the British and American International Settlements, this person also has the identity of the deputy police chief of the Public Settlement Police Department.

"Ruth and I are ordinary friends, we are very innocent." Pete said seriously.

"Of course I believe that you are innocent." Cheng Qianfan showed an expression of "I believe you", nodded, and pointed to the golden yellow croaker, "I have inquired about the market, and fifty gold bars are enough to convince this Viscount Cage."

Pete glanced at the remaining one hundred and five large yellow croakers in the suitcase, thinking secretly.

After subtracting the fifty gold bars for Papa Ruth, there were fifty-five bars left.

Then distribute ten gold bars to Ruth, and 45 gold bars.

feasible.

……

"Okay, I'll take this job." Pete nodded, "Although Ruth and I are just ordinary friends, I believe that with the friendship between Ruth and me, she will be happy to help."

"Refreshing." Cheng Qianfan gave a thumbs up and smiled, "By the way, Wei Zhirong, the owner of Daxin Iron and Steel Plant, had some conflicts with Mr. Flood, the director of the Industrial Bureau of the Public Concession, but it's not a big problem. Thirty A large yellow croaker should be enough to satisfy Mr Floyd."

"Why didn't you talk about it just now?" Pete asked angrily.

Give Director Floyd thirty large yellow croakers. In this case, the gold bars he got from Peter are only fifteen.

I was so busy, but I got as many people as Cheng Qianfan, who was just a matchmaker and talkative guy!

This made Pete quite upset.

"What do you see me doing?" Cheng Qianfan frowned and asked, "My friend, don't be too greedy, you can get 25 large yellow croakers, which are almost two of mine, except for Viscount Cage and Mr. doubled."

"I also want to give Ruth ten gold bars." Pete said with a serious expression.

"You can't take my hard-earned money from me just to please your woman!" Cheng Qianfan looked indignant.

The two had a brief 'heavy' argument.

In the end, Cheng Qianfan compromised, and he reluctantly agreed to give up one gold bar. He took the middle fee of fourteen gold bars, and Pete took sixteen gold bars.

……

When leaving, Cheng Qianfan stretched out his right hand towards Pete.

Pete and Cheng Qianfan shook hands.

With a strange expression, Cheng Qianfan stretched out his right hand again.

"what?"

"Give me the key to Warehouse No. [-]." Cheng Qianfan said angrily.

"I don't have the key. I'll get the key for you tomorrow." Pete said, urging Cheng Qianfan to leave quickly.

He was worried that his wife Linda would wake up, and Linda would see a suitcase of gold bars, which would be bad.

It's not that he wants to hide his private money from Linda, it's just that this transaction involves Ruth, and he is worried that his wife will misunderstand his 'clean' relationship with Ruth.

"Remember, you must get through the relationship before tomorrow morning to let the checkpoint go." Cheng Qianfan urged, "I promised to finish this matter before twelve o'clock over there."

He, Inspector Cheng, has always used money to do things, and he has a good reputation, but he can't ruin his reputation.

"Don't worry." Pete quickly agreed.

……

After leaving Pete's house, Cheng Qianfan drove away.

Pete's house is on Ma Sinan Road.

It is less than 200 meters away from Peng and Ou's home.

Peng Yuou stood by the window on the second floor, the curtains were drawn, and he gently opened a gap, and he just kept staring outside.

At his feet is a spittoon, a toilet.

Under the dim streetlights, a trash can quietly stood by the side of the road.

A headlight came straight on.

Cheng Qianfan put one hand on the steering wheel and held the cigarette case in the other. He shook slightly, and a cigarette popped out. He lowered his head and bit the cigarette.

Lightly slammed on the brakes and stopped right next to the trash can.

Throw the empty cigarette packs into the trash can.

Then he flicked on the lighter unhurriedly, lit the cigarette dangling in his mouth, and then started the car, disappearing silently into the night of Shanghai.

Peng and Ou, who were secretly watching all this behind the curtains on the second floor, were overjoyed. They threw away the cigarette case and lit the cigarette just now, which was a sign that everything went well.

If Cheng Qianfan drove away without stopping, it meant that the situation was bad, and Pete didn't want to get involved in this matter.

If you just throw away the cigarette case, but don't light the cigarette, it means that there is still a possibility of further negotiation and struggle.
