Chapter 1974 Reorganization
“Young Master Duren is wise,” Cheng Qianfan said. “Lu Dazhang came to visit again yesterday. He meant that he is still young and strong and can still contribute to Sino-Japanese friendship.”
"What position has he set his sights on?" Atsuto Kawada asked with a light laugh.
It was obvious that Lu Dazhang hadn't arrived empty-handed when he entered the Cheng residence yesterday.
“Deputy Chief of the Third Police Precinct,” Cheng Qianfan said.
Upon hearing this, Atsuto Kawada's smile faded slightly. He looked at Kentaro Miyazaki and said, "Lu Dazhang isn't greedy at all."
Cheng Qianfan naturally understood the sarcasm and irony in Kawada Atsuto's words, and he quickly explained, "I was also taken aback by Lu Dazhang's appetite at first, but after thinking about it carefully, it's not entirely impossible to give it a try."
Kawada Atsuto glanced at him, signaling him to continue.
……
“Strictly speaking, among the six districts of the French Concession, the Xiafei District is even more prosperous than the Central District, and is the most prosperous place in the French Concession,” Cheng Qianfan said. “Lu Dazhang and I have a good relationship. If we can help him get the position of deputy director of the Third Branch, it will be of great benefit to both strengthening our control over the former French Concession and our voice within the reorganized police station.”
He said to Kawada Atsuto, "My former Central District borders the former Xiafei District. Before, Lu Dazhang could only be considered a friend, and there were many things I couldn't do. But now it's different. With Lu Dazhang's cooperation, many things..."
Cheng Qianfan lowered his voice, "There is great potential."
……
“Kentaro.” Atsuto Kawada gave Kentaro Miyazaki a deep look.
"Young Master Duren," Cheng Qianfan said respectfully.
"You, all you can think about is your business and making money," Kawada Atsuto said, looking at him with a disappointed expression.
"Young Master Du knows me; this is all I'm capable of," Cheng Qianfan said with a wry smile.
Kawada Atsuto sighed and nodded.
Kentaro Miyazaki was not formally trained in the field and was a latecomer to it, so it was not easy for him to rise through the ranks within the Special Higher Police.
Of course, he felt that Kentaro might not be too keen on getting promoted; compared to promotion, Kentaro Miyazaki preferred to make money.
“Lu Dazhang isn’t bold enough,” Kawada Atsuto said. “He could also try to get the position of chief of the Third Precinct.”
……
"Young Master Du is joking," Cheng Qianfan said with a smile. "Lu Dazhang isn't crazy. He knows what is worth fighting for and what is sinful even to touch."
After saying that, he looked at Atsuto Kawada with expectant eyes.
“The deputy chief of the Third Police Precinct…” Kawada Atsuto said, “It’s not a particularly difficult matter.”
he thought.
Originally, the Third Precinct Police Chief was replaced by Sasami Umezumi, and the Deputy Chief was most likely Shao Yifeng.
Of course, Kawada Atsuto was not satisfied with this arrangement, because Yokoyama Akima, who was behind Shao Yifeng, was a man of Sagami Umezu, which meant that Sagami Umezu directly controlled the former French Concession's Xiafei district.
Furthermore, with Umezumi Sagami recommending Akima Yokoyama as the military police advisor for the Special Police Department of the First Police Bureau, it was as if Umezumi Sagami's influence had also extended into the central district of the former French Concession.
Although Kawada Atsuto's time in the military police force was merely for professional advancement and he didn't have much ambition for power or personal gain, he was naturally dissatisfied with what Sagami Umezumi had done this time.
Now that Shangguan Wu is dead, Zuo Shangmei Jinzhu is pushing Shao Yifeng to become the head of the Third Police Precinct.
In this situation, the position of deputy chief of the Third Police Precinct became temporarily vacant.
Given Kawada Atsuto's position, if he were to express interest in the position of deputy chief of the Third Police Precinct, even if Sagami Umezumi had designs on the position, he would have no choice but to yield.
When young master Kawada Atsuto wasn't making a move, Sagami Umezumi could be a bit excessive, but when he made a request, he didn't believe Sagami Umezumi would dare not give him face.
"Thank you very much, Young Master Duren," Cheng Qianfan said with great joy.
He knew very well that once Kawada Atsuto nodded in agreement, the matter would be practically settled.
……
half a month later.
The Wang Jingwei Special Municipal Government announced the appointments of police officers after 'partially taking over' the French Concession.
Cheng Qianfan, the former deputy chief inspector of the Central District Police Station of the French Concession, was appointed as the head of the Special Police Division of the reorganized First Police Bureau.
Akima Yokoyama, the squad leader of the Huxi branch of the Military Police Command, was appointed as an advisor to the Special Police Department. Yokoyama appointed his subordinate Shinji Hattori to be stationed at the Special Police Department and to be responsible for him alone.
Meanwhile, Shao Yifeng, a Chinese detective from the former French Concession's Xiafei District Police Station, was appointed as the head of the Third Police Division, while Lu Dazhang, another detective from Xiafei District, was appointed as the deputy head of the Third Police Division.
……
is the day.
Cheng Qianfan hosted a banquet at Chunfeng Deyilou for senior and mid-level officers of the Special Police Department.
"Hattori-kun," Cheng Qianfan raised his glass, "it is my honor to work with you. I wish us a pleasant collaboration."
"Director Cheng, I also look forward to working with you." Hattori Shinji raised his glass, a faint smile on his face.
Cheng Qianfan gave Hattori Shinji a deep look, nodded slightly, and tilted his head back to drink the wine in his cup.
Hattori Shinji took a small sip of sake.
Cheng Qianfan's smile faded, and he looked at Hattori Shinji and nodded.
"Come on, let's raise a glass to Director Cheng!" Ma Junyao quickly raised his glass and invited him to join in.
Many police officers quickly raised their glasses, and the atmosphere immediately became lively.
"Gentlemen, I have official business to attend to, so I won't disturb your enjoyment any longer," Hattori Shinji said, rising to his feet. He then left without even glancing at the crowd.
……
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly cooled down.
Everyone looked at Cheng Qianfan.
"What are you all standing there for?" Cheng Qianfan asked with a warm smile, raising his glass. "Gentlemen, let's drink to a bright future."
"Drink this cup to the brim!" Ma Junyao shouted. "May Director Cheng rise to a higher position, and may we all benefit from his success."
Cheng Qianfan gave Ma Junyao a deep look, a satisfied expression on his face.
The crowd immediately started cheering and shouting excitedly.
……
"Stop the car," Cheng Qianfan said.
"Brother Fan, are you alright?" Haozi turned his head and asked with concern.
Fan Ge drank a bit too much today.
"Let's have a smoke and get some fresh air," Cheng Qianfan said.
As he got out of the car to get some fresh air, the two bodyguard vehicles in front and behind him also stopped. The bodyguards got out of their cars to stand guard. They chose a very careful distance, which was enough to ensure Fan's safety without interfering with Fan and Hao's conversation.
"What have you found out about Ma Junyao's background?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
Ma Junyao suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
The night before the personnel appointments were announced, Cheng Qianfan strongly recommended Lu Jiufan for the position of deputy director of the Special Police Department, which can be said to be almost 90% certain.
However, almost overnight, Ma Junyao, who appeared out of nowhere, ousted Lu Jiufan and took the position of deputy director of the Special Police Department.
This caught Cheng Qianfan completely off guard.
Most importantly, he strongly recommended Lu Jiufan for the position of deputy director of the Special Police Department, which was no secret within the former Central Police Station. Now that Lu Jiufan has been squeezed out at the last minute, this is a significant blow to the prestige of the newly appointed Director Cheng.
Furthermore, at today's banquet, Hattori Shinji, one of Yokoyama Akima's subordinates, treated him coldly, which was definitely intentional on Yokoyama's part.
……
“Ma Junyao arrived in Shanghai the day before yesterday,” Li Hao said. “He stayed at the Astor House Hotel. He only went out once in the past two days, and we haven’t been able to find out where he went.”
"Is it that mysterious?" Cheng Qianfan flicked his cigarette ash and frowned as he spoke.
"Brother Fan, should you go ask Young Master Duren over here?" Li Hao said after thinking for a moment.
"No," Cheng Qianfan shook his head. "At least not now."
Ma Junyao suddenly appeared and ousted Lu Jiufan from his position as deputy director of the Special Police Department.
This is not only a blow to his prestige, but also a negative impact on Kawada Atsuto within the Military Police Headquarters.
In this situation, he needs to remain calm.
……
"Brother Fan, is it possible that this Ma Junyao is from Number 76?" Li Hao asked.
"Number 76," Cheng Qianfan frowned in thought, "it's not impossible."
Based on the corroborating intelligence gathered by Detective Zhao and his "second cousin" from within No. 76, it was discovered that No. 76 had extensively deployed agents to infiltrate the French Concession Police Department under cover of cover.
Zhao Shuli had a number of around 150 people.
The number of people that "Second Cousin" knows is around two hundred.
It can be said that the No. 76 police force took this opportunity to secretly and extensively extend its reach into the French Concession. Most importantly, it is now impossible to confirm the power behind any particular police officer.
In other words, the reorganized police stations in the former French Concession are now even more chaotic than before, and people have no idea who the people around them are.
……
"Detective Zhao, we really have to thank you for your intelligence this time," Comrade Yi Jun said happily. "Thanks to the secret intelligence we obtained in advance, we took the opportunity to arrange for many comrades to infiltrate the police station, which is crucial for our work on the secret front."
“This was a rare opportunity, and I was on tenterhooks,” Zhao Shuli said. “However, that traitor Cheng Qianfan is too greedy; he’s asking for an exorbitant amount.”
The organization learned that Cheng Qianfan was secretly selling police officer positions in the new police station, and he practically sold everything he owned to buy six positions.
“If Cheng Qianfan weren’t greedy, we wouldn’t have had the opportunity to infiltrate the enemy,” Comrade Yi Jun said.
"It's a pity you weren't able to take up a position in the Special Police Unit this time," Comrade Yi Jun said regretfully.
Comrade Zhao Shuli was not able to remain in the original jurisdiction of the Central District. He was assigned to the jurisdiction of the former Mailan Police Station, namely the Fifth Police Division of Shanghai, where he served as the head of the Investigation and Investigation Section 1.
Compared to the former Chinese detectives of the Central Police Station, Comrade Zhao Shuli's authority has been weakened.
……
“The McLan Police Station has its advantages,” said Zhao Shuli. “At the very least, my current position allows me to secretly monitor the situation at McLan Wharf.”
He originally had the opportunity to stay in the Special Police Department, but it was Comrade 'Flame' who made the decision at the Party branch meeting to send him to the Mai Lan Police Station.
Zhao Shuli had no objection to this, as he understood the significance of Comrade 'Fire Seed's' arrangement.
Comrade Yi Jun nodded. As the saying goes, every cloud has a silver lining. Comrade Zhao Shuli's power in the Fifth Police Division has been greatly reduced. However, the area under his jurisdiction has the opportunity to secretly keep track of the situation at Mai Lan Wharf, which is of great benefit to the organization's various tasks.
"What does the organization know about Ma Junyao, the deputy director of the Special Police Division?" Zhao Shuli asked.
"Is that Ma Junyao, the one who was suddenly appointed as the deputy director of the Special Police Department and squeezed out Lu Jiufan, whom Cheng Qianfan had instructed?" Comrade Yi Jun asked.
……
“It is indeed this person,” Zhao Shuli nodded and said.
“They’re not one of our people,” Comrade Yi Jun said.
"Are you interested in this person?" he asked Zhao Shuli.
“Cheng Qianfan is actually a very assertive person. Under such circumstances, many people would think that Ma Junyao, as the deputy director, would be subject to control in the Special Police Department and would find it difficult to achieve anything,” Zhao Shuli said. “However, I have thought about it carefully, and this person may not be so simple.”
"Tell me about it." Comrade Yi Jun handed Zhao Shuli a cigarette, lit one for himself, took a slow puff, and said.
"This person appeared out of nowhere, and as far as I know, Cheng Qianfan strongly recommended Lu Jiufan for the position of deputy director of the Special Police Department, which was approved by the Japanese," Zhao Shuli said. "Under these circumstances, for Ma Junyao to be able to squeeze out Lu Jiufan is not only a loss of face for Cheng Qianfan, but also a loss of face for the Japanese behind Cheng Qianfan."
"This shows that Ma Junyao is someone of great importance," Comrade Yi Jun concluded.
“Yes,” said Zhao Shuli. “Such a person with such a distinguished background would certainly not want to be a powerless deputy director who is marginalized.”
"It seems we need to find a way to get in touch with this Ma Junyao," Comrade Yi Jun said. "At the very least, we need to arrange for a comrade with a legitimate background to become friends with this Deputy Director Ma."
……
“I agree.” Zhao Shuli nodded and said, “However, this person gives me a very dangerous feeling. This person is very likely one of the Seventy-Sixth.”
"You suspect he was planted in the Special Police Unit by Number 76?" Comrade Yi Jun asked.
“There is no evidence,” Zhao Shuli said. “However, I have met this Ma Junyao once, and I have a very bad feeling about him.”
“That certainly requires caution,” Comrade Yi Jun said with a serious expression. “I will personally select the relevant comrades.”
He naturally valued the intuition of Comrade Zhao Shuli, a seasoned and long-time ace agent who had infiltrated the enemy ranks.
……
"There's one more thing," Comrade Yi Jun said to Zhao Shuli. "Comrade Zhang Yingzhuo from the Huxi Transportation Station has lost contact."
"Lost contact?" Zhao Shuli frowned. "What do you mean?"
"It means exactly what it says, we've lost contact," Comrade Yi Jun said. "There was a secret meeting this morning, and Zhang Yingzhuo, as the representative of western Shanghai, was supposed to attend, but he didn't show up."
