Chapter 0594 - Nervous
On the afternoon of Ji Yunqing's assassination, Shen Zui officially asked Wang Tianmu to meet at the European-style café on Aidoya Road, which was Shen Zui's first public appearance after coming to Shanghai, and it was also the first time he met Wang Tianmu, the head of the Shanghai District of the Military Command.
The meeting location of the Continental Style Cafe was Feng Chen's suggestion to Shen Zui, and Feng Chen believed that the Continental Style Cafe might be targeted by Li Shiqun's No. 76, but it should be safe.
Feng Chen and Shen Zui considered that since this meeting place had been targeted by Li Shiqun and them, this place was the best place to test whether Wang Tianmu had defected, and if Shen Zui encountered danger in the European style café, then it would indirectly prove that Wang Tianmu must have defected.
The most critical point is that if something really goes wrong, Feng Chen is confident that in the café, Gu Jiarong's people can cover Shen Zui's retreat in the first time.
When informing Wang Tianmu, Shen Zui did not tell Wang Tianmu who wanted to contact him, but only informed him that the special commissioner sent by the Chongqing headquarters wanted to see him.
In fact, this meeting was also a secret investigation of Wang Tianmu by Shen Zui.
After lunch, after Shen was drunk and made up carefully, he set off from the Wellcome Pharmacy at the entrance of Renai Lane, walked around Xiafei Road, and saw that no one was following him, so he connected with Gan Jianping, who lived in a small hotel on Xiafei Road.
Gan Jianping used to be the head of the field service group of the North China Region of the Military Command, when he followed Nanmoto Shilong from Beiping to Shanghai, he was caught by Chang Yuqing's East Asian Zodiac Society and suffered inhuman torture, and it was Feng Chen who took Xu Jian to risk rescuing him.
This time Shen drunk came to Shanghai from Chongqing, Dai Li deliberately asked Gan Jianping to accompany him, Dai Li considered, Gan Jianping was once a capable general under Wang Tianmu, and he had a special understanding of Wang Tianmu's situation in all aspects, and more importantly, Feng Chen used to be Gan Jianping's savior, and Dai Li planned to let Gan Jianping enrich Feng Chen's Shanghai intelligence group.
After Shen Zui arrived in Shanghai, he did not rush to let Gan Jianping connect with Feng Chen, because Dai Li had something to say, and when Shen Zui left Shanghai after performing his mission, he gave an order to let Gan Jianping stay in the Shanghai intelligence group.
"Jianping, how is Stationmaster Xu Jianxu of Suzhou Station lately?" came to Gan Jianping's room, and after sitting down on the bed, Shen Zui asked casually.
After Shen Zui and his entourage arrived in Shanghai, Gan Jianping, who accompanied him, was sent to Suzhou Station to inspect the work of Xu Jian, the stationmaster, and only rushed back to Shanghai from Suzhou last night.
"The work of Suzhou Station is doing a good job, and Station Manager Xu has also come to Shanghai, and he asked me to bring a message, I want to see you in the evening, saying that there is an important intelligence report." Gan Jianping replied.
"Oh? Xu Jian has important information? Shen Zui looked at Gan Jianping suspiciously and asked.
Shen Zui was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that Xu Jian has important information, and he should report to Dai Li in Chongqing through the radio as soon as possible, but why did he come to Shanghai to report to himself?
"I took a train from Suzhou to Shanghai yesterday with Station Master Xu, and I found that he was following two people from Hong Kong, and I don't know the specifics." Gan Jianping explained.
"Oh, do you know where Xu Jian lives?" Shen Zui understood that Xu Jian must have reported to himself the situation of the person he was following.
"I don't know where Stationmaster Xu lives, he just told me that he would come here at seven o'clock in the evening to find me." Gan Jianping replied.
"Okay, I see, let's go to the European-style café on Aidoya Road." Shen Zui got up from the bed, opened the door, and walked outside.
……
After Wang Tianmu received the notice from Chongqing that he wanted to meet with him, he was very worried, and he arranged for the telegraph operator to immediately send a telegram to the Chongqing headquarters to inquire about the commissioner's situation, but the headquarters politely refused.
The headquarters replied by telegram saying that for the sake of the commissioner's safety, it could not answer the contents of his inquiry, claiming that he would be clear after meeting the commissioner, and at the same time, in the telegram back, he also ordered Wang Tianmu that while the commissioner was in Shanghai, all personnel under the command of the military in Shanghai should obey the commissioner's dispatch and all actions would be arranged by the commissioner.
Seeing this euphemistically worded reply, Wang Tianmu beat a drum in his heart, and from the call back from the headquarters, he smelled that Dai Li had become suspicious of him, and his heart was always in a state of worry.
"Zhijiang, you go and prepare the car, arrange a few more capable brothers together, let's go to the European-style café on Aidoya Road for tea."
After thinking for a while, Wang Tianmu instructed Lin Zhijiang beside him, but he didn't tell Lin Zhijiang that he was connected to the commissioner at the European-style café on Aidoya Road.
"Big brother, is the commissioner from the headquarters here? Shall we go to the joint? Lin Zhijiang hesitated and asked.
"Why do you ask so much? Go ahead and arrange it! Wang Tianmu waved his hand.
"Big brother, I feel that the people from the headquarters are not good this time, who is the one sent by Chief Dai? Could it be Chen Gongshu? Lin Zhijiang didn't leave, reached out and scratched his head and asked.
Lin Zhijiang's words made Wang Tianmu's head bigger, within the Military Control Bureau, Chen Gongshu has always fought openly and secretly with him, and the relationship between the two has always been very stiff, if Chen Gongshu is a special commissioner, no matter how clean his butt is, he will pick out some shit, not to mention that his butt is not clean.
"What the are you doing?! Go ahead and arrange it! Wang Tianmu was obviously a little unhappy.
"Big brother, I'm also thinking about you, you're the position of the major general, but many people are staring, we have to guard against it, besides, the last time you went to No. 76, it has been rumored......"
Lin Zhijiang poked Wang Tianmu's sore spot.
"Brother Zhijiang, what do you say?" Wang Tianmu asked helplessly.
"Big brother, I suggest, let's act at the opportunity today, in case the commissioner has something unfavorable to you, let's just ......" Lin Zhijiang said half a sentence and left half a sentence.
"How about that?" Wang Tianmu's eyes were full of fierce light, staring at Lin Zhijiang and asking.
"First strike!" Lin Zhijiang replied to Wang Tianmu with his gaze and replied suspiciously.
"Nonsense! Do you want to rebel? Hurry up and get ready. Wang Tianmu reprimanded Lin Zhijiang, then waved his hand again and sent Lin Zhijiang out.
In fact, Lin Zhijiang's words reached Wang Tianmu's heart, if the commissioner was really Chen Gongshu, it would mean that Dai Li no longer trusted himself, and Chen Gongshu would definitely add oil and vinegar to his own abuse in front of Dai Li, if that was the case, it would be better to take the opportunity to arrest him and take people to take refuge in No. 76.
What if the person who came was not Chen Gongshu?
Wang Tianmu thought of another question, after all, he had a good relationship with Dai Li, Dai Li knew very well the relationship between himself and Chen Gongshu, would he send Chen Gongshu here?
No way!
Wang Tianmu shook his head slightly.
While Wang Tianmu was thinking about countermeasures, Lin Zhijiang hurried in again.
"Brother Wang, no, I just got the news that Ji Yunqing was killed in his mansion at noon today."
"Ji Yunqing was killed? Who did this to you? Wang Tianmu was taken aback.
"I don't know, one of my brothers was also in the Ji Mansion at noon, he saw it with his own eyes, he said that the situation was very chaotic at that time, and everyone didn't notice who killed Ji Yunqing."
Lin Zhijiang replied cautiously.
"Who do you think did it?" Wang Tianmu then asked.
"I don't know very well, but just now, Wu Sibao called, and his tone was very tough, saying that he asked me to tell you and hand over the murderer as soon as possible, otherwise, they will retaliate." Lin Zhijiang glanced at Wang Tianmu and replied.
"What? Let me hand over the murderer? Wang Tianmu roared.
"Yes, they suspect that the personnel of our military command in Shanghai did it." Lin Zhijiang replied.
"Fart! Why should I provoke the Green Gang, why should I kill Ji Yunqing? You called Wu Sibao and told us that we don't know who the murderer is, and this matter has nothing to do with our military command in Shanghai. ”
Wang Tianmu denied it flatly, and at the same time gave Lin Zhijiang an order.
Lin Zhijiang agreed, turned around and went to call.
Wang Tianmu sat on the sofa, took out the pocket watch on his body and looked at it, then got up from the sofa, walked to the desk, opened the drawer, took out a Browning pistol and checked it, inserted it into his waist, and strode out of the office.
