Saguchi Uezuzuzuzu glanced at the car driving into the gendarmerie compound. After recognizing the license plate, he was slightly surprised.
This car is one of two private cars of Commander Junichiro Ikeuchi.
Usually, the commander prefers to use another car, which is rarely seen and used.
He had just returned from the commander's residence. It was obvious that the commander himself was not using the car now.
Saguchi Uezuzuzusu saw the commander's orderly Tomoyuki Matsuzaki get off the car from the cab, opened the rear door, and a man in the uniform of an Imperial officer got out of the car.
Recognizing who the other party was, Akagi Umezuzuzu felt a stir in his heart and greeted him with a smile.
"Hingzhongjun." Sakuan Uejinzu walked forward and shook hands with Ping Chongyang, but he smelled the smell of alcohol on Ping Chongyang and couldn't help but smile, "Where is Ping Chongyang coming back?"
"Kawada-kun holds a banquet." Ping Chongyang said with a smile, taking the cigarette handed over by Saga Umezuzuzu, slightly tilted his head, and enjoying the cigarette for Saga Umezuzuzuzuzuzu.
Ping Chongyangyi is very yearning for the prosperous life in Shanghai. This time I came to Shanghai, I had both official business needs and wanted to stay in Shanghai to work.
As for the young and strong officer Sagumi Uezuzuzu, who is highly valued by the commander of the military police Junichiro Ikeuchi, Hiroshima, I was naturally willing to be close to him.
"Young Master Kawada hosts a banquet?" Sagami Uezuzuzuzu himself also lit a cigarette, took a sip, and said, "It's still Hiraki-kun who has face, but Young Master Kawada rarely invites others."
"Kawada Jun is actually easy to get along with." Ping Chongyang Yi smiled slightly and said lightly.
He said to Saguchi Umezuzuzu, "I happened to meet Saguchi, and I want to ask for some advice."
"It just so happens that I have the best Lu'an melon slices." Saga Umetsuzu said with a smile.
"I'm lucky." Ping Chongyang laughed.
...
After some greetings, Ping Chongyang drank a sip of tea and asked casually, "Do you understand Cheng Qianfan, Suoka?"
"What Mr. Taichung is talking about Cheng Qianfan, deputy general manager of the Central Police Station of the French Concession?" Sakura Uezuzuzu asked.
"It's this person." Ping Chongyang nodded.
Sagami Uezuzuzuzu smiled, and he immediately concluded that the relationship between Hiroshima and Atsuto Kawada was obviously not as close as Hiroshima was deliberately showing.
Otherwise, he would ask "Kentaro Miyazaki" instead of "Cheng Qianfan".
Obviously, Ping Chongyangyi didn’t even know Cheng Qianfan’s true identity at all.
"Cheng Qianfan is one of the real power factions in the French Concession Police House. This person has a lot of energy in the French Concession. Even if he is placed in Shanghai, this person is quite influential." Sagame Uezuzu said.
"How is this person's relationship with the empire?" Ping Chongyang asked.
"Cheng Qianfan has always been close to the empire. He is a good friend to Captain Araki Hatsuma of the Special High School Operations Team. On the side of the military police, Young Master Kawada and Cheng Qianfan also have a good relationship." Sagami Uezuzuzuzu said, "In addition, as far as I know, Cheng Qianfan is also favored by Counselor Imamura Hitaro of the Consulate General."
Ping Chongyang nodded slightly. Most of the things that Suomizuzu said were already mastered. However, when Zuomizuzuzu said that Cheng Qianfan and the action captain of the Special High School Class were good friends, this surprised Ping Chongyang.
This Chinese actually had a good relationship with the gendarmerie and the special high school class, and was favored by the Consulate General Counselor. It can be said that in addition to the garrison, Cheng Qianfan was related to most of the empire's forces in Shanghai.
In addition, Cheng Qianfan himself is a senior official in the French Concession Police Station. It can be said that this person has a strong influence in the French Concession, Shanghai, and his network has already reached a large scale.
"It's not just that." Sagaki Meijinzu said, "Cheng Qianfan's grandfather is a veteran of the Chinese National Party. Because of this identity, Wang Baihai also attaches great importance to this person. Wang Baihai's steward Chu Mingyu is a good friend of Cheng Qianfan's father, so he also takes good care of Cheng Qianfan. Cheng Qianfan also has another identity as Chu Mingyu's assistant."
"So that's it." Ping Chongyang suddenly realized and nodded.
No wonder Cheng Qianfan could get the grain order for Wang Baihai regime. It turned out that this person had such a background within the National Party.
Not only did he get along happily with the empire, but he also had a deep background in the Wang Baihai regime. Cheng Qianfan is really rich and has a great future.
Thinking of this, Ping Chongyang Yi couldn't help but feel warm.
...
"It's not just that," Sagaki Uezuzu said, "Based on what we know, Cheng Qianfan also received the support of Zhang Xingzhi, a big boss of the Shanghai Green Gang."
"Zhang Xingzhi? How does this person compare with Du Yongsheng, Huang Jingrong and Zhang Xiaolin?" Ping Chongyang asked immediately.
"You can't talk about it in the same way." Sagaki Umetsuzuzu shook his head, "Zhang Xingzhi is just an outdated old man in the Qing Gang and has no power."
"However," Sagame Uejinju added, "Zhang Xingzhi's value lies in his extremely high seniority within the Qing Gang. With his support for Cheng Qianfan, Cheng Qianfan can be regarded as half of his own person by the Qing Gang. Unless there is a direct conflict of interest, the Qing Gang will try to avoid direct conflicts with Cheng Qianfan as much as possible."
Ping Chongyang nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
"Of course, the most important thing is that Cheng Qianfan himself is already a powerful figure in the police station in the French Concession, especially in the Central District of the French Concession. It is not an exaggeration to say that Cheng Qianfan is the local emperor of the Central District." Sagami Meijinzu saw that Ping Chongyang I attached great importance to Cheng Qianfan's situation and added.
He is still willing to make friends with the nephew of this imperial general.
...
"How much does Zuo Shangjun know about Cheng Qianfan's Jiujiu Trading?" Ping Chongyang asked.
"Jiujiu Trading is a joint business jointly established by Cheng Qianfan and Pete, the squad leader of the Political Department of the Police Office of the French Concession." Sagame Uezuzu said.
"Wait a minute." Ping Chongyang asked, "What does this institution do when the Political Department of the Police Station of the French Concession?"
"Simply put, the Political Department of the French Concession can be regarded as the superior agency of the police station. Internally, the Political Department is responsible for investigating political-related cases within the French Concession. For the outside world, even if the empire wants to arrest criminals in the French Concession, it must first inform the Political Department according to the procedures. Only after obtaining the approval of the Political Department can it take action under the supervision of the Political Department." Saakami Uezuzuzu said, "The Political Department's investigation team is a violent agency of the Political Department."
"So that's it." Ping Chongyang nodded, "Sagaki, please continue."
"Relying on Pitt's relationship, Cheng Qianfan's Jiujiu Trading was able to continuously obtain luxury goods shipped from France, and Jiujiu Trading gradually developed into one of the largest black market businesses in the French Concession." Sagaki Uezuzuzu said, "In addition, the good relationship between Cheng Qianfan and the empire also made Jiujiu Trading's goods clearance more smoothly, which is also one of the greatest helpers for the rapid development of Jiujiu Trading."
"The good relationship between Jiujiu Trading and the Empire in all aspects?" Ping Chongyang smiled slightly, "Is there any transfer of interests behind this?"
Sagumi Uezuzuzu looked at Ping Chongyang one by one, chuckled, and shook his head, "I don't know this."
Ping Chongyang blew up the ashes and smiled.
Although Saguchi Umezuzu said nothing, he said everything.
"By the way, Cheng Qianfan said that there is a person who also defected to the empire and has always wanted to be unfavorable to him. Do you know who it is?" Ping Chongyang asked.
"The person he is talking about should be Zhang Xiaolin." Sagame Uejinzu said, "Based on the information we have, Zhang Xiaolin has sent people to assassinate Cheng Qianfan many times but failed, and Cheng Qianfan has also taken action against Zhang Xiaolin many times and killed many of Zhang Xiaolin's decent subordinates."
"You mean, there is a deep hatred between Cheng Qianfan and Zhang Xiaolin." Ping Chongyang asked.
"So that's it." Saga Umezuzuzu nodded.
Ping Chongyang Ichi's face showed a smile. If the background, power and other situations of Cheng Qianfan introduced by Uezuzu were still "empty", Ping Chongyang Ichi now has a more intuitive understanding of Cheng Qianfan's power and ability.
Compared with Cheng Qianfan, an unknown guy who had never heard of before he came to Shanghai, Zhang Xiaolin, the Qing Gang boss, one of the three tycoons in Shanghai, has heard of him even in Ping Chongyang, far away in northern Hubei. After Huang Jingrong left behind and Du Yongsheng to escape to Hong Kong Island, Zhang Xiaolin, who defected to the empire, rose sharply. It can even be said that Zhang Xiaolin is the biggest force in Shanghai, in addition to the empire, and his influence is even above the Shanghai Municipal Government supported by the empire.
In this way, being able to form a life-and-death feud with Zhang Xiaolin is difficult to distinguish between the two sides, which is enough to show Cheng Qianfan's ability.
...
"Thank you for helping to resolve your doubts," Ping Chongyang said with a smile.
"Hei Chongjun is too polite." Sagaki Uezuzuzu said, "In addition to those, Cheng Qianfan has the greatest characteristic of this person is that he is greedy for money and lust."
It’s good to be greedy for money.
Ping Chongyang nodded slightly, and he had heard about Cheng Qianfan's greed for money when he was in the Izakaya.
"Higejun seems to be quite concerned about Cheng Qianfan and Jiujiu Trading?" Sagame Uezuzuzu couldn't help asking.
"That's right." Ping Chongyang said, "The food in the front line of northern Hubei is tight, so I intend to ask Cheng Qianfan to order a batch of grain, oil and fodder and other supplies."
"So that's it." Sagaki Umetsuzu nodded slightly, "There is now food and food supply shortages, and it is not easy to obtain bulk materials on the market. However, Cheng Qianfan does have this ability and may meet the needs of Hirachi Jun."
"It's so best." Ping Chongyang nodded.
...
The next day.
Cheng Qianfan, carrying steamed cakes in his hand, came to the office of the squad leader of the Political Department's investigation team.
"Rose Cake." Cheng Qianfan put the steamed cake on his desk.
"Thank you." Pete rubbed his hands happily. The little chef in Cheng's house made the pastry really delicious. Pete has been thinking about it since he tasted it.
While eating pastries, Pete looked at Cheng Qianfan and suddenly showed a vigilant look, "You Chinese have a saying, "You Chinese are asking for salted fish for nothing, they must be robbers."
He asked alertly, "What are your plans?"
"It's 'doing hard work for nothing, either a traitor or a thief', where did the salty fish come from?" Cheng Qianfan said angrily.
"Anyway, that's right." Pete said, looking at Cheng Qianfan, "I'll declare first that if the Japanese ask you to mediate, I'll ask me to reduce the amount of the claim and avoid negotiation."
He said seriously, "Don't forget, you have a share of money."
"Did you arrange someone to follow me?" Cheng Qianfan frowned and said.
"I still need someone to send someone to follow you?" Peter sneered, "'Mr. Xiao Cheng' accompanied several Japanese assistants to have a banquet at an izakaya yesterday and played with Japanese women together. This incident has long been spreading."
As he said that, Pete grabbed his chin with one hand and looked around Cheng Qianfan. Suddenly, he directly held Cheng Qianfan's neck upwards, pointed to the scratching scars exposed on his neck, and laughed and said, "This is the evidence."
Cheng Qianfan was angry and argued incoherently, "You know what you said, it's a badge of intense love between men and women, representing family harmony and husband and wife harmony."
Pete just sneered.
"I'm here to give you money. Since you don't want to listen, then forget it." Cheng Qianfan snorted coldly and acted as if he wanted to leave.
"Just, just a joke, don't be angry?" Pete smiled and grabbed Cheng Qianfan, "I thought you have been used to this kind of teasing for a long time."
"Shut up, you." Cheng Qianfan said angrily, "If you can't speak, don't say it."
"Okay, it's my fault, you guy who doesn't have a sense of humor at all." Pete said, "You can say it now."
"Don't you think that so many intimate and precious goods are worth 200,000 silver dollars too low?" Cheng Qianfan sat on the chair, crossing his legs and said.
"What do you mean?" Peter asked, looking at Cheng Qianfan deeply.
"That's what it means." Cheng Qianfan said.
"Hasn't you always had a good relationship with the Japanese?" Pete asked inquisitively, "or did you have a friction with the Japanese yesterday and want me to help you get back?"
"I have the best relationship with Qian." Cheng Qianfan said angrily.
"The latest telegram received, the freighter departing from Marseille Port was in trouble and was sunk by the German torpedo." Cheng Qianfan said.
"When did I see the telegram? Why didn't I see it? Was it the Kelly?" Pete was shocked. The Kelly freighter was loaded with a large number of red wine, perfume, clothing, luggage and other luxury goods ordered by Jiujiu Trading, as well as the "expired medicines, medical supplies" and other goods purchased from the military warehouse of the French Ministry of Defense.
If something really happened to the Kelly freighter, Jiujiu Trading would have really suffered huge losses.
"The cargo ship has an accident, and this crisis has occurred. It is even expected that the source of goods from Europe will be seriously and directly affected in the future." Cheng Qianfan said, "Just tell me, are the goods on the market more in short supply?"
"As the saying goes, we will appreciate our goods?" "Mr. Xiao Cheng smiled, "You squad leader Peter made a claim of 300,000 silver dollars to the gendarmerie, which is not an exaggeration."
