Chapter 639: If You Are Afraid of Death, You Can’t Fight Against the Japanese?
It is certain that Zhang Xiaolin is afraid of death. Otherwise, he would not have asked Wang Yan to go to the International Settlement, but directly to the French Concession. Moreover, the three tycoons of the Green Gang all made their fortunes in the French Concession, which can be regarded as their old nest.
However, compared with Wang Yan, the real power inspector of the French Concession, who has 180 guns and subordinates with law enforcement power, the French Concession can no longer be called Zhang Xiaolin's old nest. In the French Concession, no matter who the person is, as long as Wang Yan can hold him, whether he is in his jurisdiction or not, he will arrest him, and no matter what kind of tyrant he is, he will arrest him. As a policeman at this time, framing is a required professional skill.
In fact, the current police system in the International Settlement and the French Concession is similar to that in Hong Kong Island. Wang Yan used to be a Royal Policeman of Hong Kong Island, and finally became the Commissioner of Police. He is very familiar with this business.
This time he gave Zhang Xiaolin face, not because he was afraid of Zhang Xiaolin, but because there was no conflict of interest between the two of them at present, and Zhang Xiaolin's power was indeed great, and he was backed by the Japanese. It was not a wise move to have a conflict without purpose. Now that he had recovered his investment and made an extra 50,000 yuan, it was the best result.
As for the revenge that might come after Gao Yunchang was let go, this possibility is unlikely to happen. No one wants to die, especially Gao Yunchang is not young anymore. He wants to enjoy his old age comfortably, and he will not die by himself.
As for Zhang Xiaolin's payment, it is even simpler. He just paid in advance, and he didn't really want him to pay. Gao Yunchang will not only have to pay back 250,000 yuan, but also give another 100,000 or 80,000 yuan for life-saving money, which is basically most of Gao Yunchang's wealth.
At this point, this emergency has come to an end. Except for the Japanese who suffered a loss, everyone is happy...
Qi Si drove out of the International Settlement and returned to the French Concession. He parked at a hot pot restaurant on Lafede Road. The two of them ran into the restaurant in the rain and sat in the corner window seat as usual.
Although it was raining today and the beggars could not come, Wang Yan was still very extravagant. Whether there was food or not, the table must be full. The character setting must be maintained regardless of whether there were people watching. Over time, it became the "true self" and no one could see the flaws. Of course, Wang Yan basically played his true colors. After all, when he was extravagant, the tyrants of all dynasties had to open their coffins and beat up the Confucian scholars who ruined their reputation. Open your dog eyes and see what a tyrant is.
So on a table, except for the pot with charcoal, the rest were all kinds of plates and bowls. There were beef, mutton and vegetables to be shabu-shabu, as well as some freshly made cold dishes and stir-fried dishes. There was no shortage of river fish and seafood, all of which were delivered in the morning and were still alive and fresh.
Wang Yan and Qi Si sat opposite each other, with various ingredients bubbling in the bubbling pot in the middle. The two rolled up their sleeves and ate the shabu-shabu meat in the spicy pot. They scooped up a large pile with a chopstick, dipped it in the prepared sauce, and stuffed it into their mouths. The taste buds stimulated by the seasoning felt the aroma of the meat. Wang Yan drank a little wine, and Qi Si drank a beverage. They ate with a hissing and hissing, and it was very enjoyable.
In the past, as a genuine northerner, Wang Yan was not very good at eating spicy food. Considering his poor stomach, he basically could not eat much spicy food. This made him less happy, because there were many spicy dishes, but he could not eat much. Since he was blessed by his living father, his body has been strengthened many times, almost reaching an inhuman level. These little spicy foods are naturally no big deal for him. He will not have gastrointestinal problems, let alone a burning butt the next day. He is just enjoying the spicy food, which feels good.
Rainy days go well with hot and spicy hot pot.
Tian Biao walked into the store with an umbrella and saw Wang Yan enjoying himself. He waved his hand to decline the enthusiastic store owner and told him that he was looking for someone and asked him to add a set of bowls and chopsticks. He put away the umbrella and shook off the rain on it, met Wang Yan's careless eyes, and walked over with a smile.
Qi Si noticed Wang Yan's eyes looking behind him, so he turned around and said, "Brother Yan?"
Wang Yan knew what Qi Si meant and shook his head and said, "It's okay, go in and make room for him, you should eat."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Biao had already walked over, bowed to Wang Yan, put his umbrella aside, and sat next to Qi Si without any hesitation: "Long time no see, Inspector Wang."
Watching the waiter serve the dishes and leave, Wang Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's been a long time, I saw your big move, it's really amazing. The results are quite fruitful, not worse than the results of a battle of 10,000 people. I heard that there is basically no loss?"
"Not as small as imagined." Tian Biao shook his head and took the big one from the pot. He put a chopstick of meat into his mouth and muttered, "According to statistics after the war, more than 100 people died and more than 500 were injured on the side of the Loyal and Patriotic Army, and more than 200 of them were seriously injured. Even if they were cured, they could not fight. The Red Party's guerrillas also suffered heavy casualties. They blew up the railway and were the main force of the prison break. Although Pei Min blocked them during the retreat, they were still surrounded by some military police and many people were killed and injured.
But in general, it was indeed a great victory. After all, on the front battlefield, we might not be able to exchange one Japanese with five or six lives. The director and the chairman were happy about this operation, and they praised everyone from top to bottom. They saved so many party and country backbones, so everyone was happy."
"You look so happy, got promoted?"
"No, I'm already a captain, and it's not that easy to be promoted to a major. Besides, the main force of this operation was the Loyalty and Patriotic Army. Although our Shanghai station also played a role, and I even participated in the operation with them, it was still a little behind. However, this operation was successful, with great results and little loss. The committee and the director were all happy, and I was credited with a merit. The next time I have the opportunity to make merit, I can be considered for promotion, and then I can be considered a quasi-colonel. There is no way, I was born in a poor family, my resume is not good, and there is no one above me..."
Wang Yan knew that Tian Biao was dissatisfied, and there must be a captain in Shanghai station who was not as meritorious as him who was promoted to major. This is normal. When Baldy hires people, he likes people from the same hometown the most. Zhejiang people in the Kuomintang are very valued, and people before the seventh term of Huangpu are considered to be Baldy's direct line. If a person is both a Huangpu student and a Zhejiang person, and if he is also a Fenghua person, then as long as this person is somewhat capable and does a few good things, he will be promoted to a major in the Kuomintang. Influenced by this, other people in the KMT also used people in the same way. Counting the relatives of the aunts and uncles, a huge KMT network was built.
However, Wang Yan didn't care about these. After all, he was not involved in the KMT, so it had nothing to do with him.
He shook his head and smiled, and got straight to the point, looking at Fatty Tian who turned his grief and anger into appetite: "You came to me because of what happened today, right?"
"Inspector Wang is a smart man. He told me my intention right away." Tian Biao complimented him, but his chopsticks didn't stop, competing with Qi Si...
To be honest, the life of these agents is not so happy, it's quite miserable. The front line is struggling, the rear is tight, and the upper level is tight. This is the current situation of the KMT. Funds and allowances are not so abundant, but it takes a lot of money to maintain the operation of such a large organization. And their own cover identities don't earn that much. Now that prices in Shanghai are rising, they don't have the money to eat fish and meat every day like Wang Yan, and eat a small part and throw away a large part. To put it bluntly, the little beggars who eat leftovers with Wang Yan are more carefree than them.
As for the Shanghai underground party, it goes without saying. Hundreds and thousands of people are basically supported by Wang Yan alone, and weapons and ammunition are also sold by him. In addition, they have their own business companies and developing red capitalists. In terms of funds, they are much more abundant than the Shanghai Station of the Military Control Commission. It’s just that these Red Party members are really hardworking. Unless they need to cover their identities and have high consumption, otherwise, they basically buy materials from various channels to send back to the Soviet area after paying for the operation of the organization.
Wang Yan certainly didn't want that little bit of meat. He frowned and asked, "Your intelligence channels should know what happened, right? The Japanese have planted people in the police station. You must have also planted people with the Red Party. You have come to me to build relationships. Have you not contacted other inspectors?"
"Of course there are people, but our people are not as high-ranking as you. Other inspectors are also shrewd. They don't work without benefits. I'll tell you something, you should be careful. As far as we know, there are already inspectors who have secretly surrendered to the Japanese."
"Name the person. Although there are not many inspectors, there are more than ten."
"Yuan Liangsong from Fuxu Road." Tian Biao looked up at Wang Yan: "Can you tell us about what happened today? As you know, we are doing Intelligence, there was such a big commotion today, but we didn't know the truth, which would have put our lives in danger. "
"Speaking of which, it's your fault." Wang Yan sighed again and drank a glass of depressed wine: "It was all caused by you and the Red Party's prison break this time. So many people fled to the International Settlement and the French Concession. The Japanese were madly arresting people everywhere. You have seen the attitude of the French. Let us patrolmen maintain order and collect the bodies afterwards..."
Tian Biao listened to the whole process in amazement. He didn't expect such a coincidence. He just wanted to completely control the power of the inspector, but he happened to catch the Japanese spies lurking under his command, and also dug out a group of Japanese spies. It was very dramatic. A person who didn't want to fight against the Japanese, this can be regarded as contributing to the anti-Japanese war. No matter what, it was a bad thing for the Japanese.
After such a sigh, he frowned and asked: "I received news before that you went to meet Zhang Xiaolin as soon as you left the police station. What did he want to see you for?"
"You didn't listen carefully. The old man worshipped by the Japanese spy under my command is Gao Yunchang, and Gao Yunchang, this old man, is with Zhang Xiaolin. I kidnapped Gao Yunchang's family. Can Zhang Xiaolin not find a way to rescue him?"
"Then do you agree to release him?"
Qi Si on the side laughed and put a plate of meat in the pot, and interrupted: "Two hundred and fifty thousand US dollars, would you release him if it were you?"
Qi Si is not stupid, nor is he ignorant. The main thing is that this kind of thing cannot be concealed. Because there are too many people involved, and there is also Gao Yunchang, the victim, who will be known sooner or later. He interrupted to show off for Wang Yan and pretend to be a little bit.
Tian Biao suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Wang Yan: "So, this time you not only didn't lose money, but also made 50,000 US dollars?"
"If it's about money, then it's true." Wang Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But do you think that 50,000 US dollars is a lot for me? The most important thing is the Japanese. This time I ruined their big plan, made them so passive, and paid such a high price, and they can still let me go. Do you think I can still deal with it like before? It's definitely impossible. I must show my value and have a greater weight in the eyes of the Japanese. Only in this way can I continue to be chic.
You guys be careful, let me make it clear first, if you fall into my hands, I will definitely not be able to protect you, let alone protect you. But you can rest assured that I will not use your lives as a stepping stone for my advancement in the eyes of the Japanese. The days from now on will be difficult..."
"I understand, I understand. These days, no one has an easy life. On the contrary, it is abnormal that you had a smooth life before." Tian Biao nodded repeatedly and smiled bitterly.
"Just now we talked about Zhang Xiaolin, why don't you do anything? He is a real traitor. I heard that when he surrendered to the Japanese, he was seeking the positions of Mayor of Shanghai and Governor of ZJ Province. This old man is old but not old at heart. If you can kill Zhang Xiaolin, Dai Yunong will show his face to Commissioner Jiang, and your promotion to Major will be a sure thing, and you won't be a small action leader."
"It's difficult. You should also know that we took action once before, and eight submachine guns and more than ten pistols were all taken away by that old man. Since then, he has become a frightened bird and a cuckold. He is also a boss when traveling. We have no chance to take action because of the pomp and circumstance. He is on our must-kill list. Do you think we don't want to take action? "
"This old man is old, he can't gamble, can't play with women, and has been suppressed by Huang Jinrong and Du Yong for decades. He is obsessed with getting a high position. I heard that he has been hiding at home. Except for important matters, he rarely leaves. "
Wang Yan shook his head and said, "But if there is no opportunity, then create one. How did the Japanese deal with me before? They kidnapped my nanny's son and threatened him. There are many people serving Zhang Xiaolin. Can I bribe the cook and poison him? Find out the dishes clearly. Where to buy it from? Isn't it also a solution to tamper with the food? And the old man is so old, he must be taking medicine to regulate his body. Find out which doctor is in charge and directly use medicine to poison him. This shouldn't be a big problem for an experienced doctor, right? Otherwise, you can bribe his guards, or arrange for action experts to apply for guards, okay? Unless this old man never contacts outsiders, you have plenty of ways.
At worst, bribe the detective over there, and organize people to storm his residence. I don't believe how strict the defense can be. It depends on how determined you are. It's nothing more than It depends on the length of time, so we should slowly lay out the plan. You are punishing and killing traitors every day, but they are all small figures. What's the use? Those traitors who surrendered to the Japanese will only think that their positions are not high enough and they are too easy to kill. This is not right. If you want to do it, do something big. This will be more deterrent, and your name of the Military Control Commission will be more deterrent. "
Tian Biao's eyes showed thinking. The methods Wang Yan said were all feasible. Of course, he was very tempted, but unfortunately, he was just a small team leader. He had the power to plan and execute actions, but not the power to select targets. He was just a small leader responsible for doing dirty work. If he had not met Wang Yan once before and left an impression, this kind of work of contacting Wang Yan should not be done by him.
However, he did not express his position, let alone leave. Instead, he talked to Wang Yan about the current situation and accompanied Wang Yan for such a dinner before leaving.
Looking at Tian Biao holding an umbrella and walking away in the rain, Qi Si couldn't help curling his lips while sitting in the car: "I think this fat guy is here to eat for free, no wonder he is so fat, he really eats."
"Okay, we just made 50,000 US dollars today, and we still need his meal? Let's go home and sleep. This day is thrilling enough, we need to have a good rest."
"I'm not reluctant to give up the meal, it's this fat guy who stole the meat I prepared, and I haven't snatched it from him yet..." Qi Si gnashed his teeth in hatred, took a deep breath, put the gear on and left...
It was still the teahouse on Xiafei Road. Tian Biao was rarely treated to sit down and report this time. He told everything he had heard. He looked at Wang Tianfeng who was drinking tea calmly opposite him and smiled: "Section Chief, Wang Yan is unlucky enough. He wanted to clean up his subordinates, but he dug out a bunch of Japanese. Not only did he get into trouble, but he also lost 200,000 US dollars. Although in the end he learned from others The department got it back, but he will not be able to fool the Japanese anymore. "
Wang Tianfeng looked up at him and said indifferently: "What did you eat with Wang Yan?"
"Hot pot." Tian Biao was not embarrassed at all: "Isn't this in time? Anyway, he can't eat it and it will be thrown away. It's raining today and there are no beggars waiting outside. It's a waste if I don't eat it. Speaking of this, Section Chief, you have to pay more attention to our funds. It's right to fight against the Japanese at the cost of your life, but the brothers also have to support their families and live a hard life. Don't look at me and Wang Yan eating delicious food, I feel bad in my heart. "
Wang Tianfeng looked at him indifferently: "You talk a lot, are you full?"
Tian Biao couldn't stand Wang Tianfeng's change of words, smiled embarrassedly, and changed the subject: "Section Chief, this time Wang Yan accidentally dug up so many Japanese spies, which can be regarded as fighting against the Japanese and doing good things. "
"Unintentional? Do you believe him when he says it? Why can't he deliberately make things worse? He said that there are many people who know about it, so he can't report it to the police. It's not that you don't know his methods. Not to mention seven or eight people know about it, just ten Seven or eight people know it, and he can shut them up and suppress the matter. "
"Can't you? He said that he originally thought that the captain was just close to the Japanese, but he didn't expect that the captain was Japanese..."
Looking at Tian Biao who stopped talking, Wang Tianfeng snorted: "Does it have anything to do with whether he can suppress it or not?"
"If this is really the case, then Wang Yan's city is too deep and he can be called scheming." Tian Biao took a long breath, then frowned and asked: "But why did he do this? Doesn't it do him any good?"
"Can't it be for the sake of resisting Japan?"
"Just him? Who in Shanghai doesn't know that he is greedy for life and afraid of death?"
"If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, you can't resist Japan?"
There is no doubt that Wang Tianfeng is a new hero who has the righteousness of his family and country. He took the initiative to die in order to execute the plan and let the national army win on the frontal battlefield. He is actually a man of faith, doctrine, and spirit. Therefore, he also wanted to believe that people who were greedy for life and afraid of death could resist Japan. Besides, how many people in this world are not greedy for life and not afraid of death? How many of those soldiers fighting on the front line want to die? Aren’t they all fighting for their lives with the Japanese? So why can't Wang Yan be anti-Japanese?
However, he has always maintained the suspicion he should have. As he taught Mingtai, trust no one. But no matter how doubtful he was, he couldn't explain why Wang Yan would do such a thing that was detrimental to him. Although I didn't lose any money, I had to tie myself deeper with the Japanese.
He shook his head and said: "If it was unintentional, then Wang Yan was memorizing the words. If it was intentional, it could only be for the sake of resisting Japan. Apart from that, do you have any other explanation?"
"That's right. He talks about being greedy for money, lustful, and afraid of death, but in terms of actions, he has never been faulty. We have a good relationship with him." Tian Biao patted his head and said: "By the way, Section Chief, Wang Yan asked me, why don't we sanction Zhang Xiaolin. I said there is no chance, and he told me that there is no chance, then create opportunities... I think he is right, Section Chief, we should find a way to sanction Zhang Xiaolin. .
This old guy is really devoted to the Japanese, providing money and help. Our brothers are fighting desperately on the front line, and this old guy is behind to collect supplies for the Japanese. Damn it. In addition, if our sanctions are successful, you, Lieutenant Colonel, who has been with you for several years, will definitely be able to make some moves, and our funds will also be more generous. More importantly, brothers can also show their faces in front of the committee. They clamor to be loyal to the party and the country every day, but how can they be inspired by awards from commissions? The Shanghai Station suffered heavy losses before, and the morale of the brothers was low. If it succeeds, it can also boost the morale of the army. "
Wang Tianfeng glanced at Tian Biao and sneered: "I think you want to make a move?"
"There's nothing we can do, section chief. No one above us can talk to us, and we don't have as much money as Wang Yan. Even if we do, we can't even give him money. If we want to get ahead, don't we have to earn some real credit? I have always known that you want to do something, but if you want to do something, you also need a high position, not power. "
Wang Tianfeng didn't answer. He drank tea in silence for a while before he spoke: "Arrange to go down and investigate Zhang Xiaolin."
Although Tian Biao's words are very confidential, he is right. How can he do things without being promoted? He also wants to be promoted...
