Chapter 1396 Peach
Cheng Qianfan held a goblet in his hand, and the red wine in the goblet swayed gently as his wrist shook.
Chu Mingyu said the word "board the ship".
Cheng Qianfan speculated in his mind and concluded that the possibility of this destination being Qingdao increased greatly.
Of course, it doesn't have to be Qingdao. For example, if you want to go to Tianjin, you can also go by water. For example, if you want to go to Beijing, you can take a boat to Tianjin and then go to Beijing by land.
However, his intuition told him that there was at least an 80% chance of going to Qingdao!
Chu Mingyu asked him to call home and tell them, but he just refused by saying that he wanted to avoid suspicion.
There should still be a few hours before departure, and he still needs to investigate and analyze carefully to come to the most factual conclusion before making a final response.
However, he just said that he would not call. If he confirmed that the destination was not Qingdao, he would have to find an excuse to call, which in itself was inappropriate.
Of course, fortunately, he had already informed Haozi beforehand, so even if the fact that he made the phone call aroused some suspicion, the enemy would not be able to find any clues from the content of the call.
However, in terms of safety, 'Qingdao' is the best option after all.
"What are you thinking about?" Liu Xia came over slowly, shaking the wine glass in her hand and smiling like a flower.
As she spoke, she looked Cheng Qianfan up and down and nodded slightly, "Not bad, it fits me well."
Cheng Qianfan had already changed into a neat black suit.
"Sister Xia has kept the secret from me so painfully." Cheng Qianfan pretended to be angry and said.
Liu Xia giggled and punched Cheng Qianfan with her fist. "If there is something bad happening to you, Sister Xia will let you know even if she makes a mistake. It's for your own good that I don't tell you about this in advance."
"I don't need to." Hearing Liu Xia's words, Cheng Qianfan stopped joking and spoke seriously. He looked around, then leaned over to clink glasses with Liu Xia and whispered, "So just now Uncle Chu asked me if I wanted to call home, and I thought about it and decided not to."
"There's no need to be so careful." Liu Xia shook her head and said.
"Every time I think of what happened in Nanjing, it scares me." Cheng Qianfan said with a wry smile, "The Japanese interrogated me at the time, so it was better for me to be honest."
Then, he said seriously, "For Mr. Wang's safety, it is better to avoid unnecessary trouble."
"That's good." Liu Xia smiled.
The two of them just chatted about each other.
"Brother Fan, aren't you curious about where we are going?" Liu Xia suddenly asked.
"Curious." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "Of course I'm curious."
As he spoke, he clinked glasses with Liu Xia again, "But, I'm just curious, so it's better not to ask. Anyway, Sister Xia, you won't sell me out."
"I would like to sell it, but no one can afford to pay for you, 'Mr. Cheng'." Liu Xia glared at Cheng Qianfan and said.
As she spoke, she looked around, leaned closer and said, "I heard they were going to Qingdao."
……
"Qingdao?" Cheng Qianfan was surprised at first, then nodded, "No wonder Uncle Chu said he wanted to take a boat just now."
"It's good that you know about it, don't spread it." Liu Xia warned, "Although the ship will leave in the afternoon, it's not good to shout about it."
"Well, I save that." Cheng Qianfan nodded.
Liu Xia clinked glasses with him, took a small sip of the wine, and then, holding the glass in her hand, she went to chat and laugh with the ladies like a blooming butterfly.
Looking at Liu Xia's back, Cheng Qianfan sipped the wine carefully, his eyes flickering.
Why did Liu Xia tell him that the destination was Qingdao?
Although as Liu Xia said, everyone basically knew the destination after the ship set sail, but when it comes to intelligence work, the difference a few hours earlier or later can be minimal or huge.
As for now, if he was a spy and had not yet boarded the ship, he could find an opportunity to pass on the top-secret information that Wang's destination was Qingdao.
Moreover, because they knew that Wang Tianhai was going to Qingdao by ship, they would have a chance to find out which ship Wang might take, and they could make preparations in advance, or even tamper with the ship. Of course, it would be almost impossible to tamper with the ship in such a short time, but the possibility mentioned here, even if it is only one percent, is still a possibility.
Therefore, Cheng Qianfan was somewhat surprised and puzzled when Liu Xia told her that the meeting place was Qingdao.
This does not seem to be consistent with the cautious temperament shown by Liu Xia. You know, before Chu Mingyu told him the reason why he was called here, Liu Xia did not reveal anything to him.
Of course, it is also possible that after Liu Xia saw that Chu Mingyu had told him that he wanted to join the group, she felt that some things could be said and that it could also help to bring the siblings closer.
In short, Liu Xia's behavior surprised him a little, but it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.
So, after learning from Liu Xia that the destination of this trip was Qingdao, Cheng Qianfan breathed a sigh of relief. This was the best result.
He no longer needs to look for opportunities to make phone calls, and this will ensure maximum safety.
Cheng Qianfan held up the wine glass and looked towards the hall. Soon, a young and beautiful woman appeared in his sight.
The handsome 'Mr. Cheng's' eyes lit up and he walked towards the woman with a glass of wine in hand.
In the distance, Liu Xia, who was chatting and smiling with the wife of a Central Committee member, glanced in Cheng Qianfan's direction and saw that this 'Brother Fan' did not seem to have any intention of calling home to say anything, but was chatting with Commissioner Feng's daughter, teasing the girl so much that she was laughing so hard that she couldn't help but frown slightly.
……
Qingdao.
A western-style apartment.
"came back."
Ke Zhijiang put down the newspaper in his hand and said to Qi Yafeng who came back with her purse, his eyes full of doting love.
"I'm so tired." Qi Yafeng leaned on the sofa, kicked off her high heels, and placed her white and tender feet on Ke Zhijiang's legs, "Stationmaster Ke, help me massage them."
Ke Zhijiang chuckled, took the newspaper, and began to massage Qi Yafeng's toes carefully and skillfully.
"What's the catch?" he asked.
"It's a big harvest." Qi Yafeng nodded, "I finally got some free time today, so I followed Mrs. Yamazaki into the villa."
The target of the operation at Qingdao Station this time was a Japanese manager of Qingdao Zhengjin Foreign Company. On the surface, this person was just a Japanese businessman, but in fact it had been found out that he was a secret agent of Qingdao Special High Section.
This person has been living in seclusion for a long time, and Qingdao Station has tried to take action against him several times but failed.
Qi Yafeng volunteered to get acquainted with the wife of the Bank of Japan manager, who went by the alias Yamazaki Masao, and tried to get into the villa to explore its internal structure and survey the terrain for the assassination operation.
……
“This is a Western-style building with a Japanese interior.”
“There are large living rooms and bedrooms upstairs and downstairs, complete with carpets and fireplaces.”
"The entire building covers an area of approximately two acres, and there is a garden, servants' rooms and a garage." Qi Yafeng said.
"How is the guarding force?" Ke Zhijiang asked.
"This man's public identity is just the manager of a foreign company, so, due to this identity, he does not have any security forces." Qi Yafeng thought for a moment and said, "However, the villa is less than three miles away from the nearest police post. Once the gun is fired, the police will be able to arrive quickly."
"That's a problem." Ke Zhijiang nodded and fell into deep thought.
Seeing Qi Yafeng's tired face and constantly saying that he was exhausted, Ke Zhijiang felt distressed.
Qi Yafeng is a famous beauty in Qingdao Station. She is pretty and considerate.
The two of them are in love with each other.
However, due to the family rules of the Military Control Commission, the two were never able to get married.
Therefore, Ke Zhijiang always felt that he owed Qi Yafeng and was quite doting on her.
"By the way, Brother Jiang, don't forget to call Boss Dai back as soon as possible." Qi Yafeng yawned and reminded.
"There's no rush to call back." Ke Zhijiang said thoughtfully, "We need to send someone to investigate carefully. Only when we have more accurate information, or at least a basis to support our judgment, can we call back."
He said to Qi Yafeng, "Boss Dai is obsessed with punishing Wang Tianhai. This is a serious matter and we must not neglect our responsibilities."
"Boss Dai, Boss Dai, you only have Boss Dai in your heart." Qi Yafeng complained dissatisfiedly, "When will Boss Dai agree to let us get married?"
"Don't worry, don't worry." Ke Zhijiang held Qi Yafeng in his arms, "Wait until I have accomplished something great, and then I will personally speak to Boss Dai, and I will definitely convince Boss Dai to agree to our relationship."
Qi Yafeng frowned slightly and snorted. She was tired of hearing such words.
……
Shanghai, French Concession.
No. , Xue Huali Road.
An internal notice was issued by the Central Patrol Office that Deputy Chief Inspector Cheng Qianfan of the Central Patrol Office will go to Wuhan on business. During the period when 'Chief Cheng' is away from Shanghai, the work of the third patrol of the patrol office will be temporarily handled by Lu Jiufan, and the daily work of the Central Patrol Office will be handled by other people appointed by Chief Jin Kemu.
When Li Hao saw the official letter, he couldn't help but mutter, why is this official business so sudden and there is no news at all?
Having said that, he asked for leave from Lu Jiufan, saying only that he was going back to Cheng Mansion to inform his sister-in-law.
Lu Jiufan agreed without hesitation.
……
Chengfu.
"You said Qianfan is going on a business trip?" Bai Ruolan was sewing new clothes for Xiaozhima for the New Year. She was also shocked when she heard Li Hao's report. "When will he leave?"
"We've already set off." Li Hao said, "The police said there's an emergency in Wuhan that needs someone here to handle, so Brother Fan doesn't have time to go home."
"What's the hurry?" Bai Ruolan was surprised and a little annoyed. "You didn't even have time to go home and explain."
She couldn't help but complain, "I didn't even take a change of clothes."
Bai Ruolan was filled with worry, and she couldn't help but subconsciously think of the last time her husband also left without saying goodbye.
When he returned from Nanjing, he had new gunshot wounds on his body.
Just at this time, the little maid Li Zi came in carrying a bag.
"Madam, this is the Chu Mansion that sent Mr. Chu's police uniform." Xiao Lizi said, "It also brought Mr. Chu's message."
"What message?" Bai Ruolan took the bag and asked when she saw the neatly folded senior police officer uniforms inside.
"The gentleman said he was on an urgent business trip and would be back in ten days at the shortest and twenty days at the longest. Don't worry." Xiao Lizi said.
"I know." Bai Ruolan waved her hand, signaling Xiao Lizi to take the police officer's uniform and iron it and put it away.
After Xiao Lizi left, Bai Ruolan looked at Li Hao and asked in confusion, "Didn't they say it was a business trip for the police station? Why did the Chu Mansion send the clothes?"
"Sister-in-law, have you forgotten that Brother Fan was picked up by the Chu Mansion this morning? Maybe he received an order to go out on business and left directly from the Chu Mansion, so we have to trouble the Chu Mansion to send the clothes back." Li Hao thought for a while and said.
"Maybe." Bai Ruolan nodded, then frowned and said angrily, "He left in a cool manner. It is said that girls in Wuhan are hot-tempered. Maybe he left in such a hurry because he was thinking about eating spicy food."
Hearing his sister-in-law complain like this, Haozi just smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to respond.
Seeing Haozi like this, Bai Ruolan said angrily, "You have always been on your brother Fan's side."
Li Hao was about to explain, but Bai Ruolan said impatiently, "Go ahead and do your thing. Qianfan left in a hurry, and the police station may not have had time to explain the work. You go ahead."
Li Hao's heart moved. Although his sister-in-law didn't say anything, he felt that she seemed to know everything.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Brother Fan has already made arrangements." Li Hao thought for a while and said.
"I can't control what's going on outside, and I don't have the time to care about it." Bai Ruolan shook her head and said, "As long as he doesn't bring me a sister from Wuhan, I'll be fine."
"No, that's not possible." Li Hao smiled awkwardly and quickly said goodbye and left.
……
Joffre area.
Inside a secret safe house of the Shanghai Special Intelligence Department.
Qiao Chuntao presided over an emergency meeting of some senior officials of the Special Affairs Department.
"So, the director should have gone to Qingdao?" asked Qiao Chuntao.
"According to the director's previous instructions, since he didn't call, that means he went to Qingdao," said Li Hao.
"Could it be that the director didn't find a chance to make a phone call before he left?" Zhou Ru pondered, "Or, maybe there is some secret code in the message that the director asked Chu Mansion to deliver."
"No." Li Hao shook his head. "The director said that everything will be determined by the phone call, so it must be determined by the phone call."
Zhou Ru didn't say anything else. She looked at Qiao Chuntao.
"Haozi." Qiao Chuntao looked at Haozi.
"I agree with what Haozi said." Haozi thought for a moment and said, "The director always plans ahead and acts rigorously. He said that everything should be based on the phone call, so that must be the case."
"Please repeat the director's message that the person Xiao Lizi conveyed." Qiao Chuntao said thoughtfully.
Li Hao then repeated the message conveyed by Xiao Lizi.
"The message should just be to go to Cheng's house and inform my sister-in-law." Qiao Chuntao thought for a moment and said, "However, it is very likely that these words did not come from the director's mouth."
"What do you mean? Something happened to Brother Fan?" Li Hao was shocked and couldn't help asking.
"No, it just means that the director is fine and everything is fine." Taozi shook her head and said, "It also means that the director really didn't need to make a call. It means that the director is sure it is Qingdao."
