Chapter 1389 What’s missing from the team?
Tao Huizong just lay on the bed, covering his face with a quilt, pretending to sleep.
Even if I had the urge to defecate, I would hold it in.
It was not until the ship set sail with the sound of the whistle that he could feel the swaying of the ship. Then he poked his eyes out of the quilt, pulled aside the curtains and looked outside. Only after confirming that the ship had set sail did he breathe a sigh of relief.
However, Tao Huizong still did not dare to act rashly and continued to sleep with his head covered.
About half an hour later, he confirmed that there was nothing unusual and no Japanese warships were intercepting him on the river, so he got out of bed and walked around.
Tao Huizong first found a staff member and lied that he was traveling with friends and that they would meet on the ship. He wanted to see the passenger list.
At first the staff refused, but after Tao Huizong gave him a tip, he got what he wanted.
However, looking at the densely packed passenger list, he couldn't help but feel a headache. Most importantly, he just remembered that he didn't know what alias Gao Qingwu used.
In another cabin, Gao Qingwu also bribed a crew member and got the passenger list, but his efforts were in vain because he did not know Tao Huizong's alias.
Here, Tao Huizong returned to the cabin somewhat disappointed. At this moment, a man with an armband that said "Allowed to Sell" on his arm came over with a large bamboo food box in his hand.
"Sir, would you like some cakes?" the man said, "Shen Dacheng's rice cakes."
Tao Huizong was hungry, so he paid for a piece of rice cake.
He took a bite and then frowned, "This is not Shen Dacheng's rice cake."
"Mr. Tao, just know it, don't tell it out loud. When you are out, it is better to have less trouble than more." Ban Anqing said with a grin.
Tao Huizong was shocked and subconsciously wanted to run away.
"Mr. Que arranged for me to accompany you and protect you." Ban Anqing said quickly in a low voice.
Tao Huizong looked at the peddler deeply, then heaved a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Tao, please don't ask the crew about Mr. Gao anymore," Ban Anqing said. "It will attract too much attention."
He said to Tao Huizong, "If I see Mr. Gao when I'm selling things, I'll tell him about your cabin."
"Thank you, little brother." Tao Huizong nodded. Knowing that Manager Que had arranged for his subordinates to accompany him, he felt much more at ease.
"What's your name, little brother?" he asked.
"A063." Ban Anqing pointed to the font size on his armband and said with a smile, "Also, during the entire voyage, you are Mr. Qu Renhong."
"Would you like a newspaper, sir?" he asked.
Tao Huizong nodded.
Ban Anqing put down the lunch box, took out a stack of newspapers from the cloth bag he was carrying, and handed a newspaper to Tao Huizong.
"Just to scare you." He took the money for the newspaper from Tao Huizong and said with a grateful expression. After saying thank you, he walked away with the lunch box.
Ban Anqing had not intended to show up so early, but Tao Huizong's behavior of snooping around to find out about Gao Qingwu seemed too dangerous to Ban Anqing, so he had to show up early:
These two people are not professionals and have no ability to hide or escape. He feels that compared to the hidden dangers brought about by showing up early, it is safer to manage these two people himself.
In the evening, Tao Huizong was lying on the bed reading a newspaper. The huge newspaper just covered his cheeks. At this moment, he understood the intention of the young brother from the Military Control Commission in selling the newspaper to him.
Tao Huizong couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it is true that different fields are like different worlds.
"Brother Tao."
When Tao Huizong heard the familiar voice, he picked up the newspaper and saw Gao Qingwu. He was overjoyed.
Gao Qingwu successfully found Tao Huizong according to the instructions of the Military Control Commission vendor and was very happy.
"Brother Tao." he said.
"My name now is Qu Renhong, Qu from Qu Yuan, Ren from Song Renzong, and Hong from Hong Xiuquan." Tao Huizong said with a serious expression. He felt that Gao Qingwu was really weak and not professional at all.
Gao Qingwu was very surprised, and there was a hint of amazement in his eyes when he looked at Tao Huizong.
what happened.
After not seeing each other for a few hours, Tao Huizong has become so capable?
"My name is Luo Cunyou now," Gao Qingwu said. "Luo means Luo Binwang, Cun means ambitious and far-reaching, and You means Jiayou period."
Tao Huizong was stunned for a moment, then the two of them looked at each other, first sighed deeply, and then both laughed.
……
No. , Xue Huali Road.
Office of the Deputy Chief Inspector of the Central Police Station.
"Where is your General Manager Cheng?" Pete walked in and took a look. When he didn't see Cheng Qianfan, he couldn't help but ask.
"Report to Mr. Peter." Lu Jiufan saluted Peter and said, "Mr. Cheng went to Yuchun Creek to take a bath."
"He does enjoy it." Pete shook his head and returned to his office helplessly.
Lu Jiu looked at Pete's back with a sarcastic smile in his eyes. He guessed that Pete was going to have a tryst with his mistress again and was thinking of asking Brother Fan to cover for him.
"It feels so comfortable." Cheng Qianfan scooped some water with a ladle and poured it on the red-hot iron plate not far away. Suddenly, there was a cloud of mist. He took a bite of the crispy radish and sighed with comfort.
Old Huang was soaking in the same hot spring, holding a bottle of rice wine in his hand, taking a sip from time to time, letting out a happy sigh, and then pinching two fried peanuts, his eyes full of satisfaction.
"Is there blood?" Old Huang asked in a low voice after taking a sip of wine.
"You have a good nose." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
"Do you need help?" asked Lao Huang.
"It was handled very cleanly." Cheng Qianfan said.
He understood what Lao Huang meant. Lao Huang was reminding him that if there was any danger and support was needed, he should greet him in advance.
"Why hasn't Lao Lu come yet?" Cheng Qianfan glanced at the wall clock and asked with a frown.
"Wait a little longer." said Lao Huang.
They had agreed to take a bath in the hot spring together, not to hold a secret meeting, so even if Lu Dazhang was a little late, it would not trigger the alarm.
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.
Lu Dazhang's voice came from outside.
"I'm sorry, I had some urgent official business, so I'm late." Lu Dazhang apologized with a smile.
"Lao Lu, you are late, so you have to drink three cups as punishment." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
"You, 'Mr. Cheng', have spoken, so how dare I disobey you?" Lu Dazhang said as he picked up the teacup, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp. Then he quickly poured two more cups of hot tea down his throat.
"Hey, hey, hey, Lao Lu, you are being cunning and you should be punished by drinking three cups of wine. What's the point of drinking tea?" Cheng Qianfan yelled in dissatisfaction.
"My throat is always uncomfortable, so I'd rather not drink alcohol. You know that." Lu Dazhang complained. He glanced at the two of them unhappily and said, "I'll treat you today."
"That's pretty much it."
"Excellent." Old Huang also clapped his hands. He shouted, "Give me another serving of pork head and a plate of pickled cucumbers."
The waiter outside heard the shouting and quickly brought the pork head and pickles.
"Hmm?" Old Huang saw that the waiter also brought a plate of crispy radishes and a dish of preserved fruits.
"This was sent by the manager." The waiter said quickly, "Mr. Cheng hasn't come to take a bath for a while. The manager said that he didn't treat him well. I hope Mr. Cheng will come and give us more guidance."
"Old Zhao is a very particular person." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, I didn't call you. Don't bother me."
Lao Zhao is the manager of Yuchunxi.
The waiter quickly left.
……
The three of them ate fruits, side dishes, and preserved fruits, drank tea and wine, and chatted lively for a while.
Old Huang tiptoed to the back of the door, listened attentively for a moment, and made sure that no one was eavesdropping outside, then tiptoed back again.
Even if someone was eavesdropping outside the door, considering the sound of water flowing in the hot spring, the sizzling sound of water splashing on the iron plate, and the distance from the door to the hot spring where the three people were soaking, even a person with extremely sensitive hearing would find it difficult to eavesdrop on anything. However, the way these three people did things can be summed up in two words:
Just be cautious.
"Why are you late?" Cheng Qianfan asked Lu Dazhang.
"Comrade 'Abacus' asked me to meet him." Lu Dazhang said.
Cheng Qianfan immediately became serious. Comrade Zhao Shuli would not meet with us unless there was something important.
"Comrade Yi Jun of the Jiangsu Provincial Committee has asked Comrade Abacus to find out some information." Lu Dazhang said, smiling as he looked at Cheng Qianfan.
"Could it be that the provincial party committee is planning to take the weapons I got for Li Mingzan?" Cheng Qianfan almost instantly understood the meaning of Lu Dazhang's smile and asked.
"That's right." Lu Dazhang nodded. "The organization has received intelligence that the traitor Cheng Qianfan has transported a batch of weapons, ammunition, and medical supplies to Li Mingzan of the Nanjing Reform Government's Pacification Army."
He took a bite of the crispy radish and continued, "The organization is considering robbing this batch of weapons and medical supplies."
"The Jiangsu Provincial Committee is well-informed." Cheng Qianfan said with a chuckle.
He said to Lu Dazhang, "How much ammunition did they find out?"
"It is said that according to reliable intelligence, there are five reinforced platoons equipped with Type 38 rifles and Japanese Nambu pistols, as well as some grenades and medical supplies," said Lu Dazhang.
"The information is quite accurate." Cheng Qianfan said in surprise.
From this alone, he deduced that the organization had a secret intelligence channel within the enemy.
"Is there something wrong with this batch of weapons and supplies?" Lu Dazhang frowned and asked, "Or is it a trap deliberately set by the enemy?"
After saying this, he shook his head and chuckled:
Comrade 'Huo Miao' is the owner of this batch of weapons and medical supplies. If this was a trap set by the enemy, how could Comrade 'Huo Miao' not know about it and how could he not give a warning?
"The supplies reported to Li Mingzuan are indeed that much, but there are actually some losses." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
Lu Dazhang understood almost immediately and nodded.
"Do you need me to pass on this information to the comrades of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee through Comrade Abacus?" Lu Dazhang said thoughtfully, "Just say that the number of weapons and supplies is not correct and it is not worth taking action."
"No." Cheng Qianfan shook his head. "The actual number of this batch of weapons, ammunition, and medical supplies is an absolute secret and must not be leaked."
Lu Dazhang nodded. He understood what Comrade Huo Miao meant.
This information is directly related to the safety of Comrade Huo Miao.
"I have entrusted the Japanese Military Police Headquarters to transport this batch of munitions and medical supplies by rail, and the Japanese army will escort them." Cheng Qianfan said, looking at Lu Dazhang with a serious expression, "Nothing can happen to this batch of goods, and the enemy's escort force is strong, so we must not take action."
"That's easy." Old Huang pinched a piece of pork head and put it in his mouth, chewing the meat and saying, "Let's say that 'Xiao Zong''s' weapons and ammunition are being transported together with important Japanese military supplies, and there may be Japanese armored trains patrolling and protecting them along the way."
He handed a crispy carrot to Lu Dazhang, "Let them give up when they see difficulty."
"Not enough." Lu Dazhang shook his head and asked the two, "Why don't we tell the Jiangsu Provincial Committee that we also suspect that this may be a trap jointly created by Cheng Qianfan and the Japanese, and that it is intended to ambush our New Fourth Army and cooperate with the Japanese army's sweep of the Jiangnan East Road."
"This is good." Cheng Qianfan opened a bottle of cocoa syrup, gulped down half of it, burped comfortably, and said happily, "It is said that Cheng Qianfan is still talking nonsense to the Japanese, saying that he can definitely attract the New Fourth Army guerrillas to come and die foolishly."
"can."
"I agree."
Lu Dazhang and Lao Huang looked at each other and nodded.
"Be careful not to attract your comrades to come and kill you." Then, Lu Dazhang said with some concern.
"Don't be afraid." Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette, took a puff, exhaled a smoke ring, and said lightly, "Comrades have long wanted to get rid of me, so this little bit won't make a difference."
Lu Dazhang and Lao Huang both laughed when they heard this. They didn't say any words of comfort, nor did they need to.
"In addition, you can tell the provincial party committee through Comrade Abacus that Comrade Abacus has found out that Cheng Qianfan is secretly planning to attack Chencang, and he has prepared a batch of supplies to be shipped to Zhenjiang via Jiujiu Trading's transportation line." Cheng Qianfan said.
"What supplies?" Lu Dazhang asked immediately.
"What supplies does the team lack?" Cheng Qianfan asked, and then he added, "A large amount of weapons and ammunition is definitely not enough."
"Cotton cloth." Lu Dazhang thought for a moment and said, "Salt, gauze, disinfectant alcohol, etc."
"Cotton cloth..." Cheng Qianfan was silent. The New Year was approaching, the weather had been cold for quite some time, and spring was about to come, but the team had not yet solved the cotton cloth problem.
Cheng Qianfan felt sad when he thought about the soldiers wearing only thin clothes and even going hungry, fighting against the Japanese invaders who were armed to the teeth in the ice and snow.
"Whatever you need, let me solve it as appropriate." He nodded vigorously.
He was going to say, "Leave everything to me," but when the words came to his lips they became, "Solve it as appropriate."
When the time came, his first consideration, almost subconsciously, was his own safety.
Cheng Qianfan sighed in his heart, Cheng Qianfan, you are really a cold-blooded animal.
"There is one more thing." Cheng Qianfan looked at Lu Dazhang and Lao Huang and said, "A tripartite meeting between the three traitors, Wang Tianhai, Liang Hongzhi, and Wang Keming, will be held soon. I will try my best to accompany Chu Mingyu."
He said to the two, "If everything goes smoothly, during my absence in Shanghai, Comrade Piano will temporarily serve as the secretary of the French Concession Special Party Branch. If there is any urgent matter that needs to be reported to the headquarters, Comrade Harmonica can send the message to the headquarters with the consent of Comrade Piano."
