"Atsuto, I need your help with something." Cheng Qianfan clinked glasses with Kawada Atsuto and said.
"What's the matter?" Kawada Atsuto said with a smile, looking quite interested.
"If it were a normal season, the Jiujiu Caravan could have independently transported this batch of supplies to Nanjing." Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully, "However, you just said that in three days, the Watanabe Corps will start sweeping the eastern route of southern Jiangsu from Kunshan Bacheng..."
"Isn't this just perfect?" Sakamoto Ryouno said on the side. He asked Kawada Atsuto, "We can ask Ota Yuichi to help escort the supplies..."
"Absolutely not!"
"Can't!"
Kawada Atsuto and Cheng Qianfan said it almost in unison. It was Kawada Atsuto who said "absolutely not", and it was Cheng Qianfan who said "no".
Cheng Qianfan and Kawada Atsuto looked at each other and nodded to indicate that Master Atsuto should speak first.
"The Ota Battalion is the vanguard force in this mopping-up operation on the eastern route of southern Jiangsu and has undertaken important military tasks. It is impossible for them to escort us," said Atsuto Kawada.
As he spoke, his brows furrowed. "Besides, Ota Yuichi is..."
Kawada Atsuto shook his head, "This person is a bit rigid."
Sakamoto Ryouno blinked and understood what Kawada Atsuto meant:
Although Ota Yuichi tried to curry favor with Atsuto Kawada and was willing to do something for the young master of the Kawada family, he should have hated the act of reselling weapons.
Then, Sakamoto Ryouno looked at Miyazaki Kentaro, meaning it was your turn.
Kentaro Miyazaki burst out laughing.
Then he hesitated again, as if there were some things he was not convenient to say.
"Miyazaki-kun." Sakamoto Ryouno looked dissatisfied.
He mentioned to Kentaro Miyazaki that unless it was something difficult to talk about, he would try to tell him everything that could be discussed between friends.
This is an important way for him to collect and accumulate materials.
"Miyazaki-kun has always considered things very comprehensively," Kawada Atsuto said. "What I just said must also be what Miyazaki-kun is worried about."
"I don't think as deeply as Master Du Ren thinks." Cheng Qianfan said with a wry smile.
Then, under the gazes of Kawada Atsuto and Sakamoto Yosano, he said, "I am not confident about the military discipline of the Locust Army."
When Kawada Atsuto heard Miyazaki Kentaro say this, he was stunned at first, and then he could only smile bitterly.
If he were to speak in public, he would certainly accuse Kentaro Miyazaki of smearing the Imperial Locust Army.
However, since it is a private gathering among good friends, there is nothing wrong with talking about it.
The military discipline of the Locust Army is indeed quite poor, but it is relatively okay in big cities like Shanghai. When the Locust Army goes out to raid, even merchants of the empire have to be extra careful when encountering the bloodthirsty Locust Army soldiers. Although their lives are not in danger, there is a great possibility that their goods will be "requisitioned for military affairs".
Moreover, you have to know that what is being transported this time are the standard weapons of the Locust Army, which are goods that cannot be seen in public.
"After all, 'Jiujiu Trading' nominally belongs to the Chinese Cheng Qianfan." Cheng Qianfan said, "Even if the locust soldiers knew that this was a trading company close to the empire, it would be difficult for them to protect it at special times."
"Your concerns are not without reason." Kawada Atsuto did not avoid the question. "Well, I will issue a special pass and this batch of goods will be transported by train."
"That's great." Cheng Qianfan was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, Master Duren."
"Hey, you two." Sakamoto Ryōno deliberately shouted, "I haven't contacted Funaki-kun yet."
Kentaro Miyazaki and Atsuto Kawada looked at each other and laughed. They were not worried at all that Naoya Funaki would reject the deal.
The people of Osaka will do business with anything as long as the profit is high enough.
……
Military Police Headquarters, Morgue.
A man wearing a mask is carefully examining the bodies of Japanese military police including Ishiokayama Tomohiro.
Qian Beiyuan Si waited quietly on the side.
"Madam." The man said after he finally finished his work.
"Tell me what you have gained." Qian Beiyuan Si said.
"The focus of my inspection and attention is on the body of Mr. Ishiokayama Chiyo." The man said, "Mr. Ishiokayama was shot directly in the head."
"The shooter's shooting skills are very accurate, and this kind of shooting skills are often seen in sharpshooters in the military."
"Both the Red Party and Chongqing have such sharpshooters."
"However, the possibility that I am inclined to believe that they are members of the Red Party is relatively small." The man pondered and said, "The Red Party is still relatively weak in Shanghai. Except for the time when their special forces were active, they are generally not inclined to such drastic assassinations."
After a pause, the man said, "Especially in a situation like this, targeting the secret service headquarters, and with the elite soldiers of the Locust Army on the side."
"Also, judging from the bullet wounds on the body, I am more inclined to believe that there was only one gunman," the man added.
"One person?" Qian Beiyuan Si pondered and said, "Are you sure?"
"It's very likely." said the man.
Chihohara nodded and motioned for the man to continue.
"So, compared to the Red Party, I am more inclined to believe that it was Chongqing who did it." The man said, "The Special Agent Headquarters also concluded that it was Chongqing who did it, and I support this conclusion."
"Based on your understanding of Chongqing, tell me your guess," said Qian Beiyuan Si.
"It's basically impossible that it was the Central Bureau of Investigation." The man said, "The Central Bureau of Investigation's Su-Hu area was almost completely destroyed. Only a few people like Xu Zhaolin escaped. They don't have the ability to do such a big thing."
"Moreover, the other party was so arrogant that they directly targeted the Locust Army's military police. This is in line with the style of the Military Control Commission." said the man.
"There is an analysis within the Special High Police Department. Some people believe that the other party's target is the Imperial Military Police. The assassin's previous attack on Chen Mingchu and He Xingjian was to attract the Military Police..." Qian Beiyuan Si glanced at the man, "What do you think?"
"Absolutely impossible." The man said directly and decisively, "Although the Military Control Commission also aims to attack the Locust Army, in Dai Chunfeng's eyes, traitors like Chen Mingchu and He Xingjian are what he hates the most."
"So, Chen Mingchu and He Xingjian were the targets of the assassination." Qian Beiyuan Si said with a gloomy face, "Wang Tiemu's men rebelled, killed people and fled, while the gunmen continued to hide and target the reinforcements of the Imperial Military Police. Is this the second wave of attack?"
"It should be like this." said the man.
"Bag duck fall!" Qian Beiyuan Si cursed with a fierce look.
"Based on your understanding of the Military Control Commission, are there many people who can shoot with such a high accuracy?" Qian Beiyuan Si asked, "Or do you have a list of suspects in your mind?"
"The Military Control Commission in Shanghai is now mainly composed of Xiao Mian's Shanghai Special Intelligence Group and Chen Gongshu's Shanghai District." The man said, "Xiao Mian's Shanghai Special Intelligence Group has always been very mysterious. Even my subordinates did some research on the Shanghai Special Intelligence Group at the time, but gained very little. However, there is a saying that Xiao Mian's personal martial arts skills are quite impressive."
The man pondered and said, "From my understanding, in addition to his fighting ability, Xiao Mian's marksmanship should also be pretty good."
"So, you suspect that the person who secretly shot and killed the Imperial Military Police was actually Xiao Mian himself?" Qian Beiyuan Si asked in shock and excitement.
"It's just a guess. I don't have any evidence to support it." The man nodded and said, "But comparatively speaking, I'm more inclined to believe that it was the Shanghai Special Intelligence Group that did it."
"So, the possibility of the Shanghai area also exists?" asked Qian Beiyuan Si.
"Yes, Madam." The man said, "In fact, the Military Control Commission Shanghai District also has quite a few good fighters."
He looked thoughtful, "And in my opinion, the only person who could have committed this crime is Lu Xingge."
"Lu Xingge..." Qian Beiyuan Si thought for a moment, but shook his head, "If it was Lu Xingge, then it was still the work of the Shanghai Special Intelligence Group."
"What?" The man was extremely surprised and looked at Qian Beiyuan Si. "What the master meant was, um, when did Lu Xingge become Xiao Mian's man?"
……
After drinking wine with Sakamoto Ryouno and Kawada Atsuto in a pub, "Mr. Cheng" asked Hou Pingliang to smell her body and confirmed that the smell of powder on her body was really hard to conceal, so he "simply" asked Hou Pingliang to drive the car back to the police station on Xue Huali Road.
"You, I've taught you so many times, this is not how you make tea." Cheng Qianfan drove the little monkey away with disdain, and then he did it himself, waving his hand, "Go, see if that old man Huang is asleep, and ask him to come and massage my shoulders."
"Brother Fan, I can also massage shoulders." Hou Pingliang took two steps and said.
"Get lost." Cheng Qianfan waved his hands in disdain. "Old Huang is a medical officer. He knows acupuncture points and meridians. Can you just press acupuncture points randomly?"
He said unhappily, "I'm asking you to give me a massage, but I haven't lived long enough."
Hou Pingliang then left angrily and went to look for Lao Huang.
……
"Yes, a little lower."
"Right there, use some force."
"lighter."
"Yeah, right, right."
Cheng Qianfan called out comfortably.
"Boss Cheng, can you please stop yelling like that?" Old Huang was called in for a massage late at night, and he was already upset. At this moment, he yawned and said with a dark face, "If people in the corridor hear this, they will probably be misunderstood."
He sighed and said, "Wasn't it possible that Lao Huang's lifelong good reputation was misunderstood?"
"You?" Cheng Qianfan sat up and looked at Lao Huang with a sidelong glance, with a look of disdain on his face. "In northern dialect, you are an old handicapped fellow. You are just dreaming."
As he spoke, Cheng Qianfan pricked up his ears, as if he heard some noise outside the door. He walked quickly to the door, opened it, and caught Hou Pingliang who was eavesdropping outside.
"Get lost!" Cheng Qianfan's face turned red with anger. He pointed at Hou Pingliang and cursed, "Stay twenty meters away from me and watch me. No one is allowed to..."
Cheng Qianfan angrily scolded, "You are not allowed to eavesdrop on the officer massaging my shoulders."
After saying that, Mr. Cheng slammed the door shut.
When Hou Pingliang saw that Brother Fan was really angry, he quickly moved away and returned to his cold face as he did when facing outsiders.
Seeing that Hou Pingliang was actually made to stand in the corridor by 'Little Boss Cheng', the patrolmen on duty walked away from him from afar and did not dare to come over.
……
"What do you think?" Old Huang asked Comrade 'Flame' in a low voice.
"There should be no problem." Cheng Qianfan shook his head. He knew Hou Pingliang. He was also a poor man. Ever since the death of Lou Lianxiang's maid, the little monkey seemed to have lost his soul. He looked cold and cruel. Only when facing him did he feel like a human being.
"Let's talk business." Cheng Qianfan said, and then he told Lao Huang the information he got from Kawada Atsuto at Chunhe Izakaya.
"Watanabe Corps? Ota Yuichi!" A trace of hatred flashed in Lao Huang's eyes.
Cheng Qianfan nodded. He knew why Lao Huang hated.
Comrade Qin Di was surrounded and suppressed by Ota Yuichi's troops. In order to cover the retreat of the people, he took the initiative to stay behind to block and lure the enemy. After being shot, he was captured by Ota Yuichi, and then tortured. He remained steadfast and unyielding, and was eventually brutally killed by the enemy.
"At that time, I looked at Qin Di from left to right and I just couldn't like him." Old Huang said in a low voice, "I was wondering why the organization sent such a Muggle to the police station..."
While massaging Comrade Huomiao's shoulders, he said, "I'm thinking now, if I could do it again, I would definitely..."
"You must teach Qin Di well?"
"I must give him a good scolding. Why is he so stupid that he can't even fight guerrilla warfare and all..." Old Huang said this and then fell silent.
He later learned about Qin Di's arrest. He knew that it was not Qin Di's fault. This brave Bolshevik fighter had done a good job by himself in stopping a squad of enemies armed to the teeth.
"What a great young man! It's so great to be alive." Old Huang sighed.
Cheng Qianfan was silent.
Yes, what a nice young man.
The image of Qin Di, who was slapped several times by him and driven out of the police station, flashed through his mind. That was the Bolshevik warrior who had long since turned into soil, merged with this great land, and continued to protect this land.
……
"My original plan was to send out the information that Jiujiu Trading was going to transport a batch of guns, ammunition, medicines and supplies." Cheng Qianfan said, "In this way, it would be best if the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee could arrange for our team to ambush them in time and get the weapons and ammunition as well."
"What? Mr. Cheng wants to be the transport captain?" Old Huang said with a smile.
"That's what I meant." Cheng Qianfan nodded, then shook his head, "However, when I was at Chunhe Izakaya, I decided to give up this arrangement on the spur of the moment."
"It's right to give up." Old Huang nodded. "Our mission is to deliver the military intelligence of the enemy's raid. Don't get involved in other things."
He said sternly, "Nothing can happen to this batch of weapons and ammunition. If anything happens, let alone whether you will be suspected, it will affect your status in the hearts of Wang Tianhai, Chu Mingyu and others."
"It's not just Wang Tianhai and Chu Mingyu." Cheng Qianfan said, "The most important thing is, after this incident, I was surprised to find that Kawada Atsuto took the bait."
"Even if the weapons and ammunition are stolen, it will not affect the money that Kawada Atsuto gets, but -" He paused and said to Lao Huang, "In the long run, this deal must go smoothly."
After thinking for a while, Cheng Qianfan continued, "Every aspect, from top to bottom, has taken a big bite. Maybe they hope that something will happen to this batch of weapons, but they don't want it to happen in their hands. If you think about it carefully, it seems that there is no need for that."
He said to Lao Huang, "Generally speaking, it's best if nothing goes wrong."
It is a consensus among everyone that Li Mingzan is a wise man, so it will not come to the point of destroying all traces of the goods.
