Chapter 1418 Meeting an old friend in a foreign land
Li Cuiqun walked hurriedly.
"How is Lin Zhaojie feeling?" he asked Wan Haiyang.
"We hired a doctor to treat his injuries, changed him into clean clothes, and gave him a full meal." Wan Haiyang said, "It doesn't look like he's going to do anything weird."
"You still have to be careful." Li Cuiqun said with a serious expression, "It's just the finishing touch, don't let anything go wrong."
"Yes." Wan Haiyang said, "Then I will take Lin Zhaojie to make the call right away?"
"Go."
Wan Haiyang took two steps but was called back by Li Cuiqun.
"Don't call at the police station. Go outside and call," Li Cuiqun said. "Find a public telephone booth and call."
The police station was too quiet, and most importantly, there were no hawking or talking sounds from the market. If the person who answered the phone at the Youji Tobacco and Grocery Store happened to be someone with sharp ears and smart, it would be bad if he became suspicious.
"I understand." Wan Haiyang said, secretly admiring Li Cuiqun's attentiveness.
About twenty minutes later, a car stopped on Zhongshan Road.
He got out of the car and personally escorted Lin Zhaojie to a telephone booth.
"Brother Lin, good days are still ahead, so don't be pessimistic." Wan Haiyang stuffed a cigarette into Lin Zhaojie's mouth, struck a match to help him light it, and said sinisterly.
"Since I have chosen this path, there is no turning back." Lin Zhaojie smiled bitterly, "Commander Wan, you can rest assured."
"That's the best." Wan Haiyang said with a smile, "It's great to follow Mr. Wang and enjoy the good life."
……
I remember that the front of the tobacco and sundry shop was not big, and the back was a bit long and narrow.
The shopkeeper, Ning Chenggang, was about forty years old, wearing small round glasses and a cotton robe. He was counting the goods on an abacus.
Just at this moment, the phone on the counter rang.
Ning Chenggang glanced at the phone and shouted, "Xiao Dai, answer the phone. I'm checking the accounts."
"Okay." Xiao Dai put the pancake into his arms, took a few quick steps and picked up the phone.
"Do you remember the tobacco and sundry shop?"
"Yes, who are you?"
"Yes, Xiao Dai, I'm Lao Lin from Jimo."
"Oh, Mr. Lin, are you still looking for Mr. Cao?"
"Yes, please go and tell Boss Cao that he has replied to the inquiry he asked me to make."
"Is the matter urgent? Look, I'm still eating here."
"No hurry, just go over after you finish your meal." Lin Zhaojie said, "Please tell Boss Cao that it's good news."
"No problem." Xiao Dai took a bite of the pancake and said, "I will definitely help you pass on the message."
"Thank you for your hard work." Lin Zhaojie hung up the phone and looked at Wan Haiyang who was watching him eagerly.
"Yes, that's it." Wan Haiyang nodded with satisfaction, "Look, this is so good."
Lin Zhaojie forced a smile on his face and then sighed.
In the grocery store, Ning Chenggang put down the abacus in his hand and looked at Xiao Dai with a serious expression, "Is it Mr. Lin from Jimo?"
"Mr. Lin said there was good news," Xiao Dai said, "He said there was no rush."
"Then it's still urgent." Ning Chenggang said in a deep voice, "Go find the stationmaster now and report to him."
"Yes."
There is a shoe store across the street from Youji Tobacco and Grocery Store, and there is a new shoe-shining stall not far from the shoe store.
The shoemaker was polishing leather shoes diligently. Hu Sishui was sitting on a shoe stool, staring at Youji Tobacco and Grocery Store.
Just at this time, a man came out of Youji Tobacco and Grocery Store and left in a hurry.
"Captain, this man is Dai Guo, a waiter at Youji Tobacco and Sundry Store." said an agent who was sitting on a shoe stool waiting for his shoes to be polished.
"Have you caught up?" Hu Sishui asked.
"We caught up. We arranged three brothers to follow in relay."
Hu Sishui nodded and felt relieved.
……
"Director, don't worry. There is no way the other party would know that something happened to Lin Zhaojie. We are in the dark and the other party is in the light." Ma Tianxun said to Li Cuiqun.
He arrived in Qingdao last night.
After Li Cuiqun led his team to Qingdao, he had been busy for a day but had no results. In addition, he actually did not trust the Qingdao Police Department and felt that it was short of manpower. A telegram arrived in Shanghai, ordering Ma Tianxun to bring another team to Qingdao for support.
"The 'Big Three' meeting has officially been held today, but Qingdao Station hasn't made any moves, which makes me worried." Li Cuiqun said in a deep voice, "I can't feel at ease unless this big problem of Qingdao Station is solved as soon as possible."
"Could it be that Qingdao Station actually hasn't yet obtained the specific information about the 'Big Three' meeting, and they are still worrying about where the meeting will be held?" Ma Tianxun said.
"That's possible." Li Cuiqun nodded, "But we can't be careless. For things like this, we should always prepare for the worst possible scenario, so that we can be prepared for any eventuality."
Li Cuiqun lit a cigarette and took two deep puffs. He said worriedly, "I have a hunch that Qingdao Station is probably plotting a ruthless move against us."
Just at this moment, Hu Sishui came back.
"Director, we found it." Hu Sishui reported excitedly.
"Where?" Li Cuiqun asked immediately, "Which one?"
"It's the Jade Apartment on Shichang 3rd Road," Hu Sishui said. "Dai Guo, a clerk at Youji Tobacco and Sundry Store, came straight here after answering the phone. He went to Room 203 on the second floor. A woman opened the door. Dai Guo said a few words to the woman and then came out."
"Only women are here, where are the men?"
"The man is not at home. The brothers asked around and found out that the man's name is Cao Dali and the woman's name is Qin Xiaoxue. Cao Dali left early in the morning."
"Cao Dali, Qin Xiaoxue." Li Cuiqun pondered for a moment, then smiled and slapped the table, "Great, these should be Ke Zhijiang and Qi Yafeng!"
According to Lin Zhaojie's account, the person he called at Youji Tobacco and Sundry Store was 'Boss Cao', that is, Cao Dali, which is exactly Ke Zhijiang's alias.
"Where is Wan Haiyang?" he asked.
"Lao Wan is hiding with Lin Zhaojie near the Jade Apartment. Once Cao Dali comes back, he will let Lin Zhaojie identify him secretly." Hu Sishui said.
"Section Chief Ma." Li Cuiqun turned his head and looked at Ma Tianxun, "You take a team of brothers to reinforce Wan Haiyang. Once you confirm that Cao Dali is Ke Zhijiang, immediately arrest Cao Dali and Qin Xiaoxue in secret."
After a pause, he added, "Well, you take Wang Tiemu with you, and he will recognize the people too."
"Yes." Ma Tianxun agreed and left immediately.
……
Cheese Cafe.
Cheng Qianfan was leisurely enjoying coffee and pastries.
Although the Japanese had tightened martial law and patrols, making it almost impossible for him to contact Qiao Chuntao through the café, he still strolled to the café.
Since the meeting was adjourned in the afternoon, and he had previously used both soft and hard tactics to gain freedom of entry and exit from Li Cuiqun, he should go out for entertainment according to the planned schedule, otherwise it would be unreasonable.
Just at this moment, Cheng Qianfan looked up and saw a man walking towards him with a smile.
His face showed astonishment, then surprise and joy. He quickly stood up and said excitedly, "Kawada-kun, why are you in Qingdao!"
The person who came was none other than Atsuto Kawada, who was supposed to be in Shanghai.
This can be described as meeting an old friend in a foreign land!
Cheng Qianfan was really surprised and very happy.
