Chapter 233: Stand in line
At the junction of the Public Concession and the French Concession, there is a British man-made racecourse, and on the left side of the racecourse, there is a road called Weihaiwei Road.
The mansion of the Green Gang boss Ji Yunqing is here.
Now that it was getting dark, the butler took a cardboard box from the porter, and then sent it to the master in the hall.
Ji Yunqing has already eaten, and at the moment he is sipping tea and shaking his head to enjoy the wonderful Yue Opera on the radio.
He's been in a good mood lately, because Golden Velvet actually had a stroke.
He and Huang Jinrong are both big characters in the Green Gang, and it stands to reason that everyone should sit on an equal footing.
But the golden velvet was a bully, and because the French valued him, he pressed him all his life, so that in the French Concession, others only knew that there was golden velvet, but they didn't know that there was him Ji Yunqing.
Forget it, after all, the French just want to value the golden velvet, and no one can do it, so the pressure will be pressed.
But the golden velvet is too immoral!
What are Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin?
In terms of seniority, they are all his juniors, and Huang Jinrong and the two of them established Sanxin Company, and made a lot of money by reselling opium.
It's hateful.
Isn't that humiliation?
"It's good to have a stroke." Ji Yunqing could laugh out loud when he thought of this.
I've had more smiles these days than I've had in years.
Golden Velvet had a stroke, Du Yuesheng ran away, and it was up to him to talk about the French Concession.
As for Zhang Xiaolin is also trying to grab the land, it doesn't matter, Zhang Xiaolin is just relying on the Japanese, and everyone is Japanese, see who robs whom.
"Sir, there's a package that says it's for you."
"Well, take it apart." Ji Yunqing closed his eyes and enjoyed.
"Yes." The housekeeper opened the box neatly, and looked at the huge box, which was actually a letter inside, and couldn't help but be a little stunned.
When he touched the metal object inside, he frowned.
And when the letter was opened, the complexion changed dramatically.
"Sir, sir, look at this." The butler bent down and walked up quickly, spreading out his palms to reveal the bullets inside.
Ji Yunqing, who was lying on the old chair, opened his eyes, and he had a light and breezy expression of enjoyment, which was a comfortable person who did not have any worries, but the next moment, he stood up suddenly, and when his eyes widened, this action did not look like a 70-year-old man.
"See what was said?" Ji Yunqing asked with a tense face.
"Yes." The housekeeper immediately read it again, and he stumbled when he betrayed the party-state, and he stumbled again when he cleaned up the portal, and after reading it in just a few words, he hit several times.
As soon as he finished reading, he hurriedly said: "Master, the incident happened, they found Wu Sibao!" ”
"The hands and feet are really unclean!"
Ji Yunqing cursed, frowning with a calm face and not speaking.
Wu Sibao was naturally sent by him, and he knew that he hadn't caught anyone, but it didn't matter, because as long as these agents still had to act, they would be found by him sooner or later.
Just wait for the rabbit.
But this Wu Sibao was actually discovered!
"Master, how could they know that it was our people who did it?" The housekeeper was terrified and really didn't understand.
This is staring at a person, it doesn't even count as a face-to-face, Wu Sibao has already been discovered, and the military commander's actions are too fast!
Where did they come from such a dense intelligence network?
"How do I know?"
Ji Yunqing was angry and couldn't figure it out, Wu Sibao just went out.
And according to Wu Sibao's own statement, Wu Sibao said that he didn't see what those two people looked like, why did he leak his own face?
"Could it be that it was discovered before it even happened? At that time, Wu Sibao was targeted? ”
"How is that possible? Being targeted, can we still keep up, are you an idiot for them? ”
These people definitely didn't find out in advance, Ji Yunqing can still be sure of this.
Ji Yunqing was silent and thoughtful, but the housekeeper couldn't bear it: "Master, the time given by the other party is very tight, let's kill Wu Sibao by ourselves, what should we do?" They killed so many people in the concession, it is really possible to find us. ”
"Panic what, I've done everything, I'm afraid it's useful now? Kill Wu Sibao, thanks to what you said, how will you gain a foothold in the future? ”
Ji Yunqing exhaled and said, although he didn't expect the people in the military command to be able to locate his person so quickly to find out in secret, but since the matter happened, it was not without consideration before doing this.
"Increase defense, inform everyone in the family, don't go out if you have nothing to do recently, if you want to go out, then bring more bodyguards, you must not leak."
"Yes."
"And." Ji Yunqing's eyes narrowed slightly: "Continue to investigate for me, if you want me to die, then find out all these people for me first, and I'll see what storms they can make in the concession!" ”
"Yes." The butler answered first, and then asked in a low voice, "Master, is it worth it?" In fact, to give an explanation for this matter, let's just say that we don't know, it's a big deal to arrange for Wu Sibao to run away, those evil stars are really not easy to mess with. ”
The housekeeper really thinks that there is no need to work hard, it is not much good.
"You know what?" Ji Yunqing wrinkled his brows and said:
"Since ancient times, we have to choose a side, the earlier the station, the greater the benefit, we can donate money for the battle of Songhu, now let you donate it?
Shanghai is lost, Nanjing is lost, Xuzhou is lost, the party-state is going to die, and sooner or later China will be Japanese! I couldn't see it before, but you still can't see it now?
Don't you look at the scenery in the concession now, waiting for the Japanese to knock down China?
Free your hands, is this concession still the concession of the French? If you don't have any credit, can this Japanese make you make money safely?
Look at Zhang Xiaolin, how smart he is, what he is doing now is more majestic than the golden velvet of the year, this is the advantage of choosing early, we are already late."
Ji Yunqing let out a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Actually, I'm old, it doesn't matter, how much rice can this old bone eat?" But what if I don't do things? What do you do? Do you keep the keeper of wealth?
Master, I have to fight for you again."
"Master, it's just too dangerous."
"It's okay, how dangerous can it be to do a good job of guarding?
Zhang Xiaolin has been dancing for so long, do you think he is dead? It's not good. ”
Zhang Xiaolin dared to do something that the younger generations would dare to do, Ji Yunqing would not admit defeat.
"This agent also has two shoulders and a head, and he is a human like us, you form a circle, come out with an iron wall, this concession, you just see how he kills?"
Don't be afraid, go and do something, find out these people and hand them over to the Japanese, and our position will be secured, and the Japanese have been looking for them for a long time. ”
"Yes."
As soon as the housekeeper left, Ji Yunqing picked up the phone on the table: "Hey, it's me, the people from the military commander have found me, yes, it's very fast, there is a letter, okay, even someone brings something, I'll send it to you."
Three hours later, the top suite of the Chinachem Hotel.
After Liu Kai asked the postman to deliver the things, he squatted at the door of Ji Yunqing's house to watch their reactions, and now came to report.
"I watched for three hours, and from the time I finished delivering the things, a butler-like man hurried out and returned after an hour and a half.
During this period, a car came, it was Wu Sibao's car, and after staying for about ten minutes, Wu Sibao came out with the box I sent in, got in the car and left.
Other than that, only two servants had been out and about, and they didn't look like any important people. ”
"Okay, very good, Wu Sibao took the box, this is looking for death."
Zhou Qinghe is talking about Ji Yunqing, and the purpose of designing this play is to force people to the stage, and work hard to investigate the people around Ji Yunqing, or start from the Qinggang to see if Ji Yunqing is a traitor
It's too much work.
As soon as the box was given, the investigation into whether Ji Yunqing had anything to do with it was over.
"Wu Sibao, box, drive."
Zhou Qinghe could guess that this box had gone to Hongkou nine times out of ten, but he didn't know which of the two people who had just arrived.
"Is Wu Sibao still in Hongkou?"
"I just came back when I came back, went in to see Ji Yunqing, stayed for five minutes and left."
"Hmm."
Forget the idea of running a trip, Zhou Qinghe was going to go for a walk by himself, and it would be the same if he asked the gendarmes tomorrow.
"Let's follow first, find out where Wu Sibao lives, see if there is any opportunity to start, if there is, do it, be careful, they may be on guard, just finished giving gifts, now is the time when they are the most vigilant."
"Yes, I'll make them careful."
The next day, Zhou Qinghe went to the gendarmerie headquarters and took the time to ask about the movements of the gendarmerie Li Liqun, and chose one of the two to see if Wu Sibao saw Li Liqun.
"Last night, a member of the Green Gang came to Li Liqun and brought a box." The gendarme replied.
It's really him, Zhou Qinghe solved his doubts, and he was a little puzzled, how did this Li Liqun know the boss of the Green Gang?
Oh, by the way, this guy said that he used to eat mixed rice in Shanghai, and he must have known each other before.
"Is he happy with his accommodation?"
"He must be satisfied with the choice himself, the rent of that place is not low." The gendarmes also ridiculed twice, laughing that they seemed a little jealous of the Chinese living too well.
"Let's go, I'll go see him."
Zhou Qinghe has not seen him since he was separated from Li Liqun in the conference room, and now that Li Liqun has settled down, it doesn't hurt to pay a visit.
Li Liqun's chosen residence is in the core area of Hongkou.
In order to accommodate more Japanese residents, the reconstruction of Hongkou has been quite densely packed, with the exception of Li Liqun's villa.
It was originally used by the Military Police Headquarters to entertain distinguished guests, but now it can be regarded as a horse bone bought by the Japanese side, and it is directly used by this number one defector.
"Chief Fujita, welcome."
When Li Liqun heard that Zhou Qinghe was coming, he took two steps to greet him, and in order to avoid the difference between the identity of the squad leader and the captain, he shouted the word commander very Chinese.
"Is Mr. Li still used to living?" As a Japanese, Zhou Qinghe's smile carries a sense of alienation from thousands of miles away.
"It's not just a habit, this place is very good, Chief Fujita, please." Li Liqun raised his hand at the house: "Just cleaned up, if you don't dislike it, drink a cup of tea, I also bought it by the way when I went out, and it's not a good tea." ”
"I won't drink the tea." Zhou Qinghe didn't move, and said with an indifferent smile: "Passing by and taking a look, Mr. Li lives comfortably, this military police command has high hopes for Mr. Li, and I also hope that you can come up with results as soon as possible, so as to repay the military police headquarters." ”
"Definitely, definitely." Li Liqun used excuses, and he didn't plan to say more with a smile on his face.
Zhou Qinghe asked directly with his Japanese identity, "So when is Mr. Li going to come up with his results, I heard from the military police that Mr. Li hasn't even come out of the door these days, why, is he not very suitable for Hongkou?" ”
"Nothing." Li Liqun said with a smile: "My wife and I are indeed adapting to the environment in Hongkou, but I have already started some work matters, and even have the eyebrows of some military commanders, Chief Fujita will wait for two more days, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer to the military police headquarters." ”
Speaking with confidence, Zhou Qinghe asked in surprise: "So fast?" It's true? ”
"Just a little bit of an eyebrow." The smile is quite modest.
Zhou Qinghe nodded with satisfaction: "Mr. Li's work ability really impresses me, okay, wait for your good news, I'll go first, you are a lady and a son?" ”
"That's right, the child is still young, and the inner family is taking the child in the back room, thank you for Chief Fujita's concern." Li Liqun bowed.
"Hmm." Zhou Qinghe nodded slightly, paused, took out his wallet from his pocket, and took out five 100 yen denominations: "Mr. Li just came, and there are many places to use money, even if it is my meeting gift." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Fujita." Li Liqun had a grateful look on his face: "Then I will be disrespectful." ”
"It's okay, get busy."
The feeling of this first conversation, Zhou Qinghe felt that Li Liqun's mouth was still strict, at least the matter between this box and the French Concession was not said, of course, he may also feel that it is unnecessary if it is not fruitful.
However, the sentence 'wait for two more days, there will be a harvest' made Zhou Qinghe a little strange, and Li Liqun's words to show his ability seemed to be a little too sure.
In the evening, Chinachem Hotel.
Zhou Qinghe came here after work to wait for Liu Kai's follow-up report.
It was seven o'clock in the evening before Liu Kai arrived.
"It's a little late, what's wrong?" Zhou Qinghe looked at Liu Kai with a somewhat serious expression.
"These gangsters are a bit fine." Liu Kai let out a sigh of relief and shook his spirits: "The people who arranged for Jiang Wen to follow them today were originally just a bunch of ruffians and hooligans, and it stands to reason that it is easy to follow without anti-tracking training."
Who knows, today's trip between Ji Yunqing and Wu Sibao, the two groups of people are actually bait, these two people themselves are surrounded by bodyguards, and each person has at least a dozen bodyguards.
That's it, our people are stalking them and looking for opportunities, who knows that they were almost tracked, and there are still a group of gangsters on the periphery, as if they have experienced agent training, thieves, section chiefs, this is definitely a master's guidance, and the people of the Green Gang can't have this kind of means. ”
One or two are okay, two encirclements, and they all fell into the pit if they were not careful.
"Li Liqun!"
Zhou Qinghe thought of him when he heard it, "It must be him, the plan of action was guessed by him, he is too familiar with the methods of the agents, he guessed that we would not give up, so he commanded the people of the Qing Gang to conduct a counter-track." ”
"But shrewdly, have our people been followed?"
"That's not true, it's just that there is no chance to intervene, and there is no information to be detected, the whereabouts of Ji Yunqing and Wu Sibao are simply shown to us, and the action team members refuse to give up and try some, I waited for them to go back and confirmed that they were not being counter-tracked before coming back."
"It's okay."
Zhou Qinghe is not in a hurry, there is such a thing as killing, what you have to worry about is the person who will be killed, what is the killer in a hurry?
Fear is a punishment in itself.
"What's next? There is a danger of exposure with them, but if you don't, you won't find much of an opportunity. Liu Kai scratched his head, a little anxious: "I got Wu Sibao's residence, but it must be tightly guarded, so I shouldn't be able to get in." ”
"I'll think about it."
Zhou Qinghe sat on the sofa and crossed his legs and thought about it, this kind of tracking is indeed unsustainable, and a more direct approach is needed.
"They want to lure us out and shoot us, and then use the ambush to catch us back, so we can't follow the route they set."
Zhou Qinghe muttered and pondered, his eyes flashed: "Yes, in this way, Ji Yunqing and Wu Sibao are surrounded by bodyguards, what about their families?" Ji Yunqing is seventy, right? There must have been at least three generations of this, and his son or something, is so well protected? ”
"But we can't find information about these people, and we don't live together."
The Ji family has money, and the generations must live separately, the problem is that they can't reach it, and there is no way to get more detailed information.
"I ask you, what is that butler doing?"
"Tube, I understand, housekeeper, servant, they must know the information of Ji Yunqing and Wu Sibao."
"Arrest it, interrogate!"
This is called dark under the lights, Ji Yunqing, Wu Sibao can think of the military commanders targeting them, and they will arrange bodyguards hard, and they can't even find out where their families are, but this is a big business, who will protect the roles of gardeners and housekeepers?
Want to catch that not casually?
Zhou Qinghe is indeed inconvenient to inquire about Ji Yunqing's news, no one can use it, unless he sends a telegram to Boss Dai and asks Du Yuesheng to find a henchman to come out, but that would be too slow.
It's the same with a tongue.
Catch one, ask about the whereabouts and habits of these people, and the rest is the matter of fishing, throw one out, and sooner or later the mouths of these two people will be cocked.
Ji Yunqing's housekeeper is a housekeeper at home, but he is actually a powerful figure when he goes out.
This concession is one acre and three points of land, and you can also rely on face to eat.
There are more people who know his address, such as the rickshaw driver near Ji Yunqing's house.
In the middle of the night, when the moon was scarce, the operatives used a dagger in the alley to pick out a rickshaw driver who came to pee and reported the name of a Kuomintang agent.
"If you don't want to die, don't look back, where does Ji Yunqing's housekeeper live."
The rickshaw driver was not frightened, and solemnly reported the housekeeper's address, and said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner: "I heard about your killing of traitors, and I am also patriotic, I can take you there." ”
The action team member smiled, warned him again not to look back, left a word of goodbye, and rewarded him with a sweet dream.
Now that the address is available, the next step is to infiltrate and arrest people.
The housekeeper is a good mix, a three-story ordinary house, it seems that his family lives, considering that there is more than one person inside, four agents entered, and planned to solve it quickly.
It's not a problem to open the door, the problem is that the members of the Open Door Action Team and the butler who is about to relieve themselves are looking at each other, which is a little embarrassing.
In this dark atmosphere, the team members had no choice but to punch the butler in the eye.
"Huh." As soon as the pig-killing cry came out of the butler's mouth, the butler was covered with his mouth, and then the five flowers were tied.
"What's wrong?" A woman's voice came from next door, it was the housekeeper's wife.
The woman in her pajamas came out and was beaten up by the team again.
It's not enough to destroy the flowers with spicy hands, it's impossible to feel distressed, the five flowers are tied up, and the restraints are tight.
Then came the interrogation.
The housekeeper is just an ordinary person, facing professional agents, let alone interrogation, the name of the spy is about to scare him to death.
The face was like earth, and he began to say something.
"A few days ago, a man named Li Liqun came to the master, claiming to be a disciple of the master, and he wanted the master to help him find an agent, that is, you, in order to help the Japanese do things.
The old man didn't agree at first, but the man named Li Liqun said that with the Japanese, not only will business be prosperous in the future, but he can also guarantee that he will get a sum of money every month from the Japanese, so he should invite us Qinggang people.
The old man said that he would consider it, but in fact I knew that he had already agreed, but he had fallen in love with Li Liqun's wife, and that look would not be wrong.
It's strange to say, the old man didn't promise Li Liqun at that time, Li Liqun was still a little depressed, after going back, that night, the woman came again, and went back to the room with the master to sleep.
Then the master agreed. ”
"Huh?" The members of the task force were a little broken by this turn.
Sacrificing his wife just to take refuge with the Japanese, is there such a person in this world?
Before he had time to sigh, he heard the housekeeper swallow and say, "Hero, let's discuss, let my wife and children go, and I'll tell you a secret." ”
"What's the secret?"
"You guys."
"Say it or not! Not to mention that I have used the means, although we are not as shameless as Li Liqun, we will not do anything to your wife, but I dare to guarantee that as soon as the means come out, your wife may think that it is better to do something. ”
The means of scaring people, the army is unified with the stream.
The housekeeper was also helpless, gritted his teeth and said: "Please, let them go, let them go, let me tell you, did you who escaped that day hide on Notre Dame Road, where we have actually been found, two for two, no loss, right?" ”
