Chapter 1453 Chu Mingyu's Arrangement for Cheng Qianfan
A stormy night.
The rain stopped and a long rainbow hung high in the sky.
In the early morning, the deck washed by rain exudes a faint smell of the sea.
Li Cuiqun pushed the wheelchair and accompanied Cheng Qianfan to the deck to get some fresh air.
"A-choo." Cheng Qianfan sneezed and wrapped the blanket tightly around him. He took out a handkerchief and blew his nose. He said in a muffled voice, "Senior, how come you have time to come and see me?"
"We are all confined to this ship, so why are there so many things to do?" Li Cuiqun said with a melancholy expression. He lit a cigarette, took a light puff, and said.
"I should apologize to senior for what happened to Junichiro Horie." Cheng Qianfan said, "I didn't expect to cause so much trouble. Otherwise, I would have refused even if it meant offending Atsuto Kawada."
"It has nothing to do with you." Li Cuiqun smiled bitterly, "Who could have thought that a prince of Fushimi Palace would take such a risk."
As he said that, he looked at Cheng Qianfan, "Junior brother, you were at the scene at the time, did you find anything suspicious?"
"Suspicious?" Cheng Qianfan frowned slightly, lost in thought, and then shook his head, "Senior, you know me. If it's ordinary criminal cases, I do have some experience, but you are professionals in catching spies."
As he spoke, his expression suddenly changed.
"What's wrong?" Li Cuiqun asked immediately.
"Don't think too much about what I said, senior. I just said whatever I thought of since you asked." Cheng Qianfan said.
"You and I are brothers, it's awkward to say that." Li Cuiqun said seriously, "But you can say it."
"I just don't understand." Cheng Qianfan said, "According to what you said, Qingdao Station was almost destroyed, and only Shen Xi and a few others were on the run. They were busy avoiding arrests, so how could they have the ability to do such a big thing?"
"Yeah." Li Cuiqun flicked the ash off his cigarette. "This is also what I don't understand."
He handed a cigarette to Cheng Qianfan and lit it for him personally. "Since you mentioned a criminal case, you should follow your police station's approach and treat this as an explosion criminal case. Tell me your analysis and opinion."
"Then I will just say what I want to say, and you can just listen casually." Cheng Qianfan said.
Li Cuiqun made a gesture to show that he was all ears.
……
"This type of explosion case is actually very difficult to investigate," Cheng Qianfan said. "To investigate such a case, the first thing we need to consider is the motive."
"The identity of the deceased, who did he have a grudge against, or whether he had a financial dispute." Cheng Qianfan said, "This is the motive for the investigation."
"However, specifically in this case, the motive was that the Military Control Commission attacked the Japanese," said Cheng Qianfan.
Li Cuiqun nodded slightly, motioning Cheng Qianfan to continue.
"In fact, the motive of this case is very clear, and even the identity of the murderer is clear, so the next step is to track down the murderer." Cheng Qianfan said, "Let me talk about the general strategy of the patrol station to track down the murderer."
Cheng Qianfan coughed slightly, flicked the ash off his cigarette, and just held the cigarette between his fingers, and continued, "Explosives, what caught my attention in this case is the explosives."
He said to Li Cuiqun, "The murderer first used a fixed bomb hanging on the door, and then used a thrown bomb. My guess is that the murderer should be someone who is quite good at using bombs."
"Qingdao Station had previously planned to dig a tunnel and plant explosives to assassinate Mr. Wang." Cheng Qianfan said, "This shows that Qingdao Station is indeed more accustomed to using explosives. I think this should be a direction of investigation that you can try."
"That makes sense." Li Cuiqun said with a smile, "Junior brother, you also said that we are professionals. Junior brother, you are also a criminal investigation expert."
"Excuse me." Cheng Qianfan said, "The criminal cases we encounter are actually more simple and rough, with people swinging axes to chop people up over a disagreement, and robbing property in broad daylight. These are far less complicated and mysterious than what senior encountered."
"How is your recovery going?" Li Cuiqun glanced at Cheng Qianfan's injured leg.
"I was unlucky to get scratched, but luckily it was just a minor injury." Cheng Qianfan said with a wry smile, "The doctor said that I just need to rest for a while."
"My junior brother risked his life to save Atsuto Kawada and won the friendship of the Kawada family. This can be considered a blessing in disguise." Li Cuiqun said with a smile.
"I'd rather not have this blessing in disguise." Cheng Qianfan lowered his voice and said, "A Japanese royal highness died, this kind of thing..."
As he spoke, he shook his head.
Li Cuiqun nodded with empathy. He was the biggest victim implicated by that stupid Japanese royal family member, Fushimi Shunsuke.
……
Li Cuiqun pushed the wheelchair back and met two men who also came to the deck to get some fresh air.
The two of them glanced at Cheng Qianfan in the wheelchair and nodded politely.
Cheng Qianfan smiled and nodded in response.
He was surprised and relieved at the same time.
One of the two men was Fan Qi, and he didn't know the other one.
Cheng Qianfan felt relieved.
When he met Song Fuguo secretly, he was wearing makeup, so Fan Qi only recognized Xiao Mian with a beard and had no impression of him.
In this case, the hidden dangers brought to him by Fan Qi's appearance on the "Aka no Maru" cruise ship will be minimized.
……
"What's wrong?" Cen Yufeng asked Fan Qi.
"I've seen this person's photo in a Shanghai newspaper," Fan Qi said. "This person is Cheng Qianfan, deputy chief inspector of the French Concession Central Police Station."
"Oh?" Cen Yufeng became interested. "Is it the 'Little Cheng Zong' from Shanghai who is very close to the Japanese?"
"It's him." Fan Qi nodded and said, "Chief Song is very wary of this man. He said that this man in the French Concession is almost equivalent to the tentacles of the Japanese in the French Concession, and he poses a great threat to us."
"This man has a lame leg? What happened?" Cen Yufeng said, stroking his chin.
"I don't know." Fan Qi shook his head.
"Since we've met him, we'll seize the opportunity to send this cripple off." A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Cen Yufeng's eyes.
"Then I'll go and find out." Fan Qi said.
"Be careful." Cen Yufeng said, "Just when we passed by them, two people's hands reached into our arms not far from us. They should be Cheng Qianfan's bodyguards."
He said with a serious expression, "Seeing that we were fine, the two bodyguards pretended nothing happened."
Fan Qi was shocked. He had not noticed the situation that Cen Yufeng mentioned.
As expected, Chief Cen was praised by Chief Song for his abilities.
……
"three times."
Cheng Qianfan counted silently in his mind.
Including the time he saw Fan Qi's back before, this was the third time he met Fan Qi.
The man passed him by carrying a bottle of vinegar in a net bag.
Fan Qi seemed not to have seen him and just walked past him. Cheng Qianfan couldn't help but feel alert.
Not to mention his handsome face, there were probably only a few people in wheelchairs on the entire ship. Moreover, when they met on the deck in the morning, Fan Qi and another person nodded to him in a friendly manner, but now they pretended not to know him. There must be something strange about this.
Cheng Qianfan didn't think that Fan Qi recognized him as Xiao Mian.
Well, there is only one explanation.
Fan Qi was secretly watching him, or to put it bluntly, Fan Qi recognized him as 'Mr. Cheng' from the French Concession and was now secretly following him.
What is this going to do?
Cheng Qianfan smiled bitterly in his heart, is this an intentional attack on the pro-Japanese traitor Cheng Qianfan?
To these comrades, I am really a popular target that anyone can kill.
"Why are you here instead of resting in the cabin?" Liu Xia said angrily, and stepped forward to help Cheng Qianfan push the wheelchair over the threshold.
"We're about to dock, let me see if there's anything I can do to help." Cheng Qianfan said.
"I'll be thankful if you don't come and mess things up," Liu Xia joked, pointing to the messy documents on the desk. "Since you took the initiative to deliver them to me, please help me sort them out."
Cheng Qianfan agreed with a smile, and secretly took notes while sorting out the documents while chatting with Liu Xia.
"Where is the Secretary General?" he asked.
"I went to a meeting." Liu Xia said, "The Qingdao meeting ended successfully. The last obstacle to the establishment of the new regime has been removed. The capital is in Nanjing, so I have a lot to do next."
As she said that, she glared at Cheng Qianfan and said, "You are lucky. You can use the excuse of being injured to do less work."
Liu Xia was bending over to sort documents, her beautiful buttocks raised. Cheng Qianfan stared at her openly with a smile on his face, "I can't help it, so thank you for your hard work, Sister Xia."
"Oops." Liu Xia noticed Cheng Qianfan's gaze and hit him, "If you look at me again, I'll pop your eyeballs out."
"I am appreciating the beauty of the eyes." Cheng Qianfan laughed and wanted to avoid Liu Xia's clutches, but in the end he was hit twice on the head because of the inconvenience of the wheelchair.
"Qianfan is here." When Chu Mingyu entered the room, Liu Xia hurried over to take Chu Mingyu's hat and hung it up, then took the briefcase.
"Uncle Chu, let me see if there's anything I can do to help." Cheng Qianfan said.
"Hmm." Chu Mingyu sat on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.
Cheng Qianfan and Liu Xia looked at each other, and both of them packed up the documents much more slowly.
……
"Qianfan." Chu Mingyu suddenly said.
"My nephew is here."
"How's your leg injury?"
"Doctor Qiu just changed the medicine for me today. He said it's not a serious problem and I'll be able to recover after resting for a while." Cheng Qianfan said.
"After the Spring Festival, um, after the Spring Festival." Chu Mingyu said, "When your injury is healed, report to Jiangwan."
"Yes!" Cheng Qianfan was stunned for a moment, then nodded without hesitation.
"Don't you have anything to ask me?" Chu Mingyu asked with a smile.
"Nephew, I don't quite understand." Cheng Qianfan said seriously, "But, I know Uncle Chu must be doing this for my own good."
"The first batch of the Central Army Officer Training Corps in Jiangwan is about to graduate. If you go there, you will be considered as a supplementary admission to the first batch." Chu Mingyu said in a deep voice, "Mr. Wang will personally confer titles on the first batch of students by then."
"Nephew, I understand." Cheng Qianfan looked excited.
"Li Mingzan secretly sent someone over to express his willingness to be loyal to Mr. Wang." Chu Mingyu said with a smile, "Li Mingzan also praised you a lot in his letter to Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang was very happy and praised you just now."
"I am ashamed," Cheng Qianfan said, "I was just following Uncle Chu's instructions and doing my duty."
"Okay, kid, you don't have to be so modest in front of me." Chu Mingyu was obviously in a good mood. He took the teacup handed over by Liu Xia and took a sip. "Perform well in Jiangwan and earn face for me."
He pointed at Cheng Qianfan and said, "I have my own plans for your future."
"Nephew, don't worry about it." Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression.
In the evening, Cheng Qianfan sat in a wheelchair, watching the surging crowd at the dock to welcome Wang Tianhai with a smile on his face.
"Warmly welcome Mr. Wang back from the peace conference!"
"Long live peace and national salvation!"
"China and Japan move forward hand in hand in peace."
Looking at the colorful banners and the welcoming crowd waving flags, Wang Tianhai smiled and waved from afar with his top hat in hand, which immediately attracted even louder cheers from the shore.
Cheng Qianfan looked up at the sunset in the evening. The sunset was shockingly red, just like the world where demons were running rampant.
……
"What happened?" Bai Ruolan saw Li Hao pushing a wheelchair in and hurried over with Xiao Zhima in her arms.
"Slow down, slow down, hey hey hey." Cheng Qianfan quickly took the little sesame from Bai Ruolan's hand, gave it a kiss, and then said to Bai Ruolan, "It's just a skin injury, it will be fine after a few days of rest."
"Nonsense." Bai Ruolan's eyes turned red, "He's already in a wheelchair."
"Don't believe it?" Cheng Qianfan handed the small sesame seed to Haozi, and then struggled to stand up from the wheelchair.
"I believe it. Isn't it enough that I believe it?" Bai Ruolan quickly held her husband down, and did not forget to roll her eyes at Cheng Qianfan. "Tell me what's wrong with you? Every time you go out on business, you come back injured."
"It's all good." Cheng Qianfan said.
Bai Ruolan pushed the wheelchair and just said that she would go to the temple to burn incense tomorrow and ask the Buddha for blessings.
"The Bodhisattva can't bless him." Cheng Qianfan took Xiao Zhima back from Haozi's hand and said, "The Cheng family's ancestors can bless him."
Then he asked Bai Ruolan, "New Year's Eve is coming soon. Have you returned to Yandeli?"
"I'm back." Bai Ruolan said, "I just got back this morning. Aunt Ma helped me clean the room. Everything is fine."
Cheng Qianfan nodded, and he turned to Xiao Lizi and said, "Go and help organize the things I brought back from Qingdao."
"Yes." Xiao Lizi had no doubt and went about his business.
"Although Auntie Ma is stingy and tough, she is actually a pitiful person with a sharp tongue." Cheng Qianfan said, "It's the New Year, remember to send some New Year's goods to the old neighbors in Yandeli."
Bai Ruolan nodded, then smiled and said, "Xiaobao also said that next time he goes to Yandeli, he must bring the cat back with him."
"What's going on? Did the cat tell Xiaobao that it missed its old friends in Yandeli?" Cheng Qianfan asked with a smile.
"You're just being sarcastic." Bai Ruolan glared at her husband. "Auntie Ma is helping to look after the house. She said she killed a mouse. When Xiaobao heard about it, he said he would bring a cat back to catch mice next time."
