Chapter 184: Chestnuts from the Fire (I)

Since being deceived by the military commander Shanghai Station, the director zhì Zhai Yanmin and other three escaped from No. 76, Asano hated a single click, although he is a brave and unscrupulous warrior, he himself never admits this, he thinks that he is both wise and brave, and he thinks very highly of himself, defeated in the hands of the people he has always despised, and defeated so badly, so wolf, how to swallow this breath? In addition, because of this incident, he was punished by Li Shiqun for a major mistake and was confined, which made him even more depressed, and he has been planning how to find an opportunity to show his hand and save face. At this time, Li Shiqun sent him to take people and Liu Zeyi to fight smuggling, which was right in the middle of it.

At seven o'clock in the evening of June 30, Liu Zezhi spread out the map of the Peace Wharf and said: "Asano-kun, the time of action is set at 11 o'clock at midnight in four hours, and this barge is on the easternmost side of the wharf, and there are three roads leading here. Asano-kun, there is one thing you should keep in mind: this operation is not in the name of No. 76, we are under the orders of General Shadow Sazhen Akira to arrest smuggling, and there is a warrant from the general. Although the gendarmerie under your jurisdiction is stationed at No. 76, it is still a subordinate of General Kagezo Zhenzhao's secret service in terms of establishment, but it is only temporarily transferred to the command of No. 76 and is under the dispatch of Director Li. ”

Asano's one-click is very strange, why did Liu Zezhi mention these at this time? Anti-smuggling to track down arms of unknown origin that may be used to finance the enemy, why not come forward on the 76th? He interjected and asked, "Who is smuggling this batch of arms?" ”

Liu Zezhi replied according to Li Shiqun's explanation: "I don't know. Tonight, after the stolen goods are obtained, the truth will be revealed after a trial. The specific plan is this: You are ambushed here and standby, and I will take Duan Wentao's action team to go on the ship to inspect first, and after confirming that there is indeed smuggling arms on the ship, I will send you a signal, the signal is still the same, and you bring people over for reinforcements. Asano-kun, these people can smuggle arms, they must have self-defense weapons, maybe there will be a shootout, and there will be heavy rain tonight, don't be careless and take my life. By the way, drive a few more cars, the number of arms is estimated to be not too small, and it occupies a lot of land. Moreover, Director Li ordered that all the people at the scene, including the stevedores, be brought back and dealt with separately after interrogation. ”

Asano confidently assured: "Don't worry, Shanghai is the world of the Great Japanese Empire, who eats the leopard's guts and dares to openly fight with the subordinates of General Kagesa, who was ordered to arrest smuggling?" Wrap it around me. ”

At ten o'clock in the evening, Liu Zezhi took Duan Wentao and his subordinates from No. 76 and braved the heavy rain to come to the Peace Wharf. Liu Zezhi looked at his watch, parked the car on a secluded side of the road four or five hundred meters away from the wharf, and came to a tavern to sit down. There was lightning and thunder outside, and the only guy and owner of the tavern didn't expect that there would be guests on this day, and there were four people when they came, seeing that the clothes were not ordinary coolies, they hurriedly greeted: "A few bosses, please sit down, what to drink?" ”

Liu Zezhi looked around and said with a smile: "Just a few snacks?" One serving, what else to drink? Aren't you just a bulk old white guy here? One person hits two or two first. ”

The boss was a little embarrassed: "Small business, don't laugh, in addition to bulk white dry, there are also homemade rose burning." ”

"Forget it, it's just Lao Bai."

Duan Wentao said in his heart that it was only ten minutes before eleven o'clock, that is, the scheduled action time, Liu Zezhi took people to drink here unhurriedly, what do you want to do? He deliberately looked at his watch with a lot of movements, but Liu Zezhi ignored it and continued to drink. Duan Wentao had no choice but to remind in a low voice: "Secretary Liu, the time is almost up." ”

Liu Zezhi said with a smile: "Don't worry, with such heavy rain, the boat is walking in the water, and it will definitely be delayed." Did you notice anything you had just walked all the way through? Because of the heavy rain, there are very few people outside the wharf that is very lively on weekdays, and the four of us are guarding the barge on a rainy day, do you think Chen Zhaozhi's subordinates will be suspicious? If he finds something abnormal, the ship does not anchor for the time being, or even drives away directly, we will be busy in vain. ”

Duan Wentao was impressed by these words: I originally thought that Liu Zezhi was relying on old relationships and helping to eat, but I didn't expect this person to have some real skills. But he was worried, how long would the ship be delayed? What if the ship has already arrived before they have arrived? He whispered his concerns. Liu Zezhi smiled and said: "Old Duan, you are too anxious, these people have worked so hard to bring goods here for the purpose of joint transactions." Inspection, reconciliation, payment, and perhaps unloading and reloading onto the buyer's ship or car will not be completed in a moment. Not to mention the heavy rain, even if it is sunny, we must wait patiently for a quarter of an hour before we start. Don't forget, Director Li told the buyers and sellers to be arrested together. What should I do if I start early, the buyer has not yet arrived, or I resolutely refuse to admit that I am the buyer? ”

Duan Wentao didn't think so: as long as the seller was caught, were you afraid that the buyer would run away? Liu Zezhi did this, in case the buyer and seller are acquaintances, it is not the first time to trade, or the transaction has been completed during the ship's journey, and the freight arrives at the wharf, the seller will leave immediately, won't it fall short? Don't forget that Li Shiqun's target is the traitor - Chen Zhaozhi of the Political Security Headquarters. However, Duan Wentao's task was to assist Liu Zezhi, and Liu Zezhi had made up his mind, but he couldn't help it. Fortunately, if something happened, Liu Zezhi was also on top of it, and he paid at most a minor joint and several liability.

Liu Zezhi seemed to be confident, drinking wine leisurely, hiding the anxiety in his heart: if he wants to catch the fire, the grasp of time is very important, and he must make a move when the goods are unloaded halfway through, so as to have a chance to meet Zhou Chengbin. If there is indeed a batch of Western medicines on the ship in addition to arms, he and Zhou Chengbin have a consensus: this batch of Western medicines must be Chen Zhaozhi's private goods that took advantage of the relationship between thousands of miles and waves to make profits. And Wan Lilang didn't know about it in advance, and Chen Zhaozhi would never dare to let Shangfeng know what he was doing in private.

At eleven o'clock, Liu Zezhi finally put down his wine glass and said to the restless Duan Wentao: "It's almost time, let's get off for the three of us." ”

Not long after Liu Zezhi and the others left, the curtain of the door was lifted, and a person who looked like a stevedore walked in, soaked by the rain, asked for four taels of white dry, and then took off his wet clothes, hung on the back of the chair, and drank naked.

At 11:25, Liu Zezhi and the other four came to the barge, and sure enough, they saw a yacht parked there, and from a distance, they could see that more than a dozen stevedores wearing raincoats were unloading their cargo. Liu Zezhi showed a hint of a smile and walked forward with a swagger. More than 100 meters away from the barge where the yacht docked, a tall thin man in a Western-style raincoat blocked the way: "Who?" What for? ”

Liu Zezhi didn't stop at all, and continued to walk forward, the man was stunned for a moment, raised his voice and asked, "What are you doing?" Hold it! ”

Look at Liu Zezhi still has the intention of staying, the comer is not good! He turned around to block Liu Zezhi's way, and before he could speak again, Duan Wentao took out his documents and shook them, and said, "Songhu Japanese Army Headquarters, someone reported that you are conducting illegal arms transactions here, and you are ordered to investigate!" ”

The man was taken aback, the Japanese command? He wanted to go to the ship to report the news, but he was afraid that if he walked away, these people would break through. Just as he hesitated, Liu Zezhi had already walked to the side of the boat, and a man with an umbrella on the boat hurriedly got off the boat and greeted him: "Who are you?" What are you doing? No trespassing here! Oh, you're - Secretary Liu, right? ”

Liu Zezhi and Chen Zhaozhi don't know each other, but they have met twice on social occasions, Liu Zezhi neither admits nor denies it, and said: "General Yingzuo's warrant: I received a report that someone was smuggling arms at the Peace Wharf. ”

Chen Zhaozhi stepped forward and said, "General Yingzuo? Secretary Liu, you are No. 76, how could the general send you to arrest smuggling? I can't tell you about the matter of the political security headquarters, and our chief Wan will explain it to the general. After saying this, Chen Zhaozhi smiled and said, "Secretary Liu, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding, right?" If there is anything to say, between our brothers, it is easy to say. ”

Liu Zezhi sneered: "Sir, your surname? Chief Wan of the Political Security Headquarters? So you're actually from the political security headquarters? Knowing the law and breaking the law, pretending to be public and private, what crime should you be guilty of? As for why General Kagesa sent me, please ask the general directly. ”

Liu Zezhi pretended not to know himself and put on a businesslike appearance. The smile on Chen Zhaozhi's face was gone, and he replied-for-tat: "You said that it was on the order of General Yingzuo, what evidence do you have?" Even so, the political security headquarters is not under the jurisdiction of the general. ”

Liu Zezhi smiled and replied: "You have a political security headquarters, who are you?" Does Chief Wan know what you have done? I suspect that someone is enriching his own pockets in the name of Chief Wan. While speaking, Liu Zeyi walked towards the bow of the boat, ready to board the ship for inspection.

Chen Zhaozhi stretched out his hand to stop him: "Secretary Liu, please respect yourself!" I'm on a secret mission, and it's inconvenient to reveal the situation. Don't tear your face, everyone is embarrassed. He sighed, slowed down his tone, and said calmly: "I want to come to Secretary Liu, the noble person forgets things, I really can't remember Chen, this is my certificate, please take a look." Everyone understands people, in fact, you don't have to use the name of General Yingzuo, some people are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, chasing after the wind and shadows, making reports out of nothing, and provoking the relationship between us. The 76th is here on official business, and I will cooperate. When the matter is clear, the misunderstanding is solved. Liu Zezhi never took out the warrant of Ying Zuo Zhenzhao, and deliberately ignored this problem, Chen Zhaozhi decided that he was just a fox and a fake tiger, pulling a big flag as a tiger skin.

Chen Zhaozhi's words were both soft and hard, Liu Zezhi snorted, and did not reach out to take the document handed over by Chen Zhaozhi at all, and replied: "Warrant? When I get on board and check it, I will naturally show it. Secret mission? What secret mission? The whistleblower was conclusive: Some people smuggled arms, made huge profits, colluded with the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, and enriched themselves with the enemy. The matter is big, Liu is acting on orders, and if someone dares to obstruct it, he will be arrested! ”
