Zhao Changgeng looked in the direction of Tan's mansion with some anxiety, and he was eager to gain something today.
These Japanese people are very realistic. Only those who can really help them will truly enjoy two bites of meat.
Tan Mansion.
Cheng Qianfan and Tan Pinggong came to a slightly quiet place.
The two looked at the guests coming and going on the dance floor and exchanged greetings.
Tan Pinggong smiled and waved his hand to refuse the cigarette handed over by Mr. Xiao Cheng.
He took out his snuff bottle, took off the stuffing, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and said with a smile, "I still like this thing as an old antique like me."
Cheng Qianfan laughed loudly. He took out his pure gold lighter from his body, turned the wheel, and looked at the warm flames. He lowered his head slightly and ignited the cigarette in his mouth.
"What are you busy with by Mr. Chen recently?" Cheng Qianfan took a sip of cigarette and asked Dandan, "Cheng was waiting for Mr. Chen's meal, but he had been waiting for Mr. Chen for a long time."
On the day Chen Zhuang was assassinated, Chen Wentao suddenly took his anger on Cheng Qianfan for no reason and questioned Cheng Qianfan in public.
"Mr. Xiao Cheng" thought that he suddenly encountered a major change in "lost his father" and that Tan Pinggong came out to make a comeback, so he finally didn't get angry and skipped the matter gently.
Later, under Tan Pinggong's persuasion and awakening, Chen Wentao came over through Tan Pinggong's words, saying, "In grief, even the words were ruthless." He should apologize to Mr. Xiao Cheng, and he would definitely apologize in person another day.
Since Chen Zhuang died, Cheng Qianfan could ignore the face of Chen Wentao, a playboy. However, the face of the vice president of the Yuyao Chamber of Commerce was given to him.
However, after these days, Chen Wentao's so-called apology for the party was delayed. Cheng Qianfan was naturally dissatisfied, so he now questioned Tan Pinggong half-jokingly.
"When you have experienced this, you will face the ruined family every day. Whenever you remember the reunion of your family, Wentao feels sad. It is really hard to stay in Shanghai again. He has left Shanghai a few days ago and returned to Nanjing." Tan Pinggong sighed and said.
"Yes, my closest relative was killed, and I saw it all sad memories, which was really touching." Cheng Qianfan shook his head and sighed.
When Tan Pinggong saw that Cheng Qianfan was not angry, he calmed down and was about to speak. Then he saw a curve that seemed to be sneering and sighing on the corner of Cheng Qianfan's mouth.
"Meng Chen Gong refused to abandon him, and he had a great time and had a happy chat with Cheng," said Cheng Qianfan. "Here, Mr. Chen was in trouble, and only Brother Wentao was left. Cheng could not wait and see him without any movement. If Brother Wentao returns to Shanghai, I hope President Tan will inform you in time. Cheng will definitely treat Brother Wentao well."
When Tan Pinggong heard this, he was very angry. This was not because of Chen Zhuang's face, he had to take care of Chen Wentao. This was a naked hint:
Unless Chen Wentao doesn’t return to Shanghai, he will settle the score with Chen Wentao once he returns to Shanghai!
However, after Tan Pinggong was angry, he sighed and helped again.
Objectively speaking, this matter is indeed wrong with Chen Wentao.
On the day Chen Zhuang was assassinated, Chen Wentao attacked Cheng Qianfan, and this was wrong.
After Tan Pinggong's mediation, Chen Wentao expressed his intention to apologize, but was afraid of escaping Shanghai. These two things were wrong.
Yes, Chen Wentao fled Shanghai because he was afraid.
There are two reasons why he is afraid. There are rumors that Chongqing will not give up even if he kills Chen Zhuang. The rumors that "the big traitor is dead, and the little traitor will also be eliminated." Chen Wentao was frightened.
In addition, Chen Wentao was previously arrogant and claimed that he was the son of Chen Jun, the Minister of the Nanjing Reform Government, and did not take Cheng Qianfan into consideration. However, after Chen Jun was eliminated by Chongqing, as the saying goes, "When people leave, they are cold, Chen Wentao quickly realized that his situation and influence are not as good as before."
Under such circumstances, Tan Pinggong persuaded him to bow to Cheng Qianfan several times.
After Chen Wentao learned about some of Cheng Qianfan's "deeds", his attitude towards "Mr. Xiao Cheng" quickly turned from disdain to fear.
In the face of double fear, Chen Wentao fled Shanghai without saying a word. He only informed Tan Pinggong this morning after a few days after arriving in Nanjing.
Tan Pinggong was naturally angry.
However, he couldn't really watch it and ignore it because of his friendship with Chen Zhuang over the years and his kindness.
Forget it!
Tan Pinggong sighed in his heart, and he took out an envelope from his body, "Vice General Cheng, Wen Tao was leaving in a hurry, he only left this letter of apology and told me to hand it over to you in person."
"Young Master Chen is really a person. He left as soon as he left, and he hurriedly wrote to me." Cheng Qianfan took the envelope with a slight smile, and finally couldn't hide his anger and snorted coldly.
Is this matter to be revealed in an apology letter?
hehe.
However, after pinching the envelope in his hand, the expression of "Mr. Xiao Cheng" instantly changed slightly.
He raised the envelope, reached in, glanced at him, then calmly pulled out his right hand and put the envelope in his pocket.
"Brother Wen Tao's letter is even more sincere and literary." Cheng Qianfan shook his head and exclaimed, "Besides, Brother Wen Tao is too polite. Some trivial matters are so serious, and it is... "
He paused for a moment and said with a smile, "Cheng is the favorite to make good friends like Brother Wen Tao."
"Seeing that you young people can be like-minded and become good friends, this is the happiest thing for me like me." Tan Pinggong said happily.
‘Mr. Xiao Cheng’ and ‘President Tan’ looked at each other, and they laughed.
Some guests around saw that Vice President Tan and President Xiao Cheng had a great conversation, and they also watched it frequently, envious and speculated.
As the host, Tan Pinggong naturally could not always accompany Cheng Qianfan. Soon, President Tan went to receive other guests.
"Mr. Xiao Cheng" snapped his fingers and took a glass of red wine from a waiter's hand. He just held it in his hand and shook it, but did not enter his mouth.
He chuckled in his heart.
Chen Wentao's "apology letter" is really sincere.
The envelope contained not letter paper, but Citibank's principal bill of exchange of 10,000 pounds, which was immediately exchanged based on the bill.
Moreover, according to Cheng Qianfan's secret observation just now, he suspected that the money was not paid by Chen Wentao, or that it was not paid by Chen Wentao for the time being. At least, the money should be taken out by Tan Pinggong now.
For a flat-headed little-headed person, a huge sum of 10,000 pounds requires several generations of hard work and it is impossible to make it.
Even for Tan Pinggong, vice president of Yuyao Chamber of Commerce, a huge sum of 10,000 pounds... can be easily taken out!
Cheng Qianfan shook his wine glass in his hand, as if he was thinking about things, but the light in his eyes was secretly looking at the guests at the dance party.
A few days ago, a secret telegram from Luojiawan, Chongqing only ordered the Shanghai Special Information Group to arrange personnel to approach Tan Pinggong's wife in order to follow up.
As for what will happen in the future, Chongqing did not mention it.
This order is the simplest and strangest order that Cheng Qianfan has accepted in recent years from Chongqing (Nanjing).
Cheng Qianfan thought secretly.
After receiving the order, he quickly determined to arrange the plan and actions of Ying Huaizhen to approach Mrs. Tan.
Now, with his secret cooperation, Ying Huaizhen has already joined Mrs. Tan, and Cheng Qianfan does not doubt whether Ying Huaizhen can obtain Mrs. Tan's friendship in the future and get a reasonable and normal opportunity to visit the Tan family.
This woman's communication skills are beyond words.
What Cheng Qianfan is thinking about now is the task itself.
It is obvious that this seemingly simple task is actually very important to be able to make Dai Chunfeng give such a "abrupt" order without beginning or end.
The focus of this order is on Tan Pinggong's wife.
What is the secret of this woman? She is actually worthy of Dai Chunfeng’s attention!
...
After the banquet, the dance ends.
"It seems that you and Mrs. Tan are having a good time." Cheng Qianfan glanced at Ying Huaizhen, who seemed to have a excited expression, and asked with a smile.
"Mrs. Tan is very good. She is really knowledgeable and well-educated." Ying Huaizhen said happily, "I have asked Mrs. Tan to go out for some time together to have coffee."
"Didn't it mean that Mrs. Tan is a mid-class person and doesn't like cakes and coffee?" Cheng Qianfan said.
"No." Ying Huaizhen looked confused, "I saw a coffee machine imported from Italy from Mrs. Tan. Mrs. Tan regretfully said that the machine was broken, otherwise she would have to invite me to have coffee."
Her head arched into Cheng Qianfan's arms and continued, "I said I would invite Mrs. Tan to go to Qishilin for coffee, and Mrs. Tan happily agreed."
"It's not bad." Cheng Qianfan pinched Ying Huaizhen's cheek, thinking, "Tan Pinggong is quite influential among the merchants of Yuyao, and it will be of great benefit to maintain a good relationship with this person."
"You, a good deputy general manager, but you are thinking about your business all day long." Ying Huaizhen poked Cheng Qianfan with a slender finger, "The smell of money is everywhere."
Cheng Qianfan laughed loudly, lowered his head and pecked Ying Huaizhen's forehead, "Only a stinky man is worthy of a beautiful woman."
...
"Shao Zuo, the dance party has ended, and the guests have left the Tan Mansion."
Mei Jinzuzu yawned and asked casually, "Where is Cheng Qianfan?"
"I have left, and I left with his lover named Ying Huaizhen."
"Get away." Umetsuzuzuzu lit a cigarette on the upper left, took a sip, frowned, and said.
My subordinate looked at Umejinju on the upper left and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Soon, the car started and disappeared into the vast night of Shanghai.
On the other side, Yoshida held a cigarette in his fingers, looked at the night outside the window, frowned, as if he was thinking about something, or was waiting.
About a few minutes later, the door was knocked.
"Taijun." Zhao Changgeng pushed the door and came in, followed by a man in a suit and tie.
This man was wearing a delicate and decent suit, gentle and gentle. However, the moment he saw Yoshida, his whole body immediately shortened, and he nodded and followed Zhao Changgeng, "Taijun, I'm back."
"Mr. Yao, thank you for your hard work." Yoshino glanced at the man and smiled and nodded.
"It's not hard to answer Taijun's words." The man quickly smiled, "Working for the locust army is actually a blessing from the ancestor Yao's ancestors who have blazed smoke."
"Very good." Yoshida nodded with satisfaction, "Tell me, what did you find at the dance?"
"Taijun, because the information is not particularly accurate, we cannot determine who the target is." Mr. Yao thought for a while and said, "and there are only three invitations. We are not equipped with enough staff and can only watch them in a hurry."
"Speak the point." Yoshida said with a glaring at Mr. Yao.
"The most active person at the dance was naturally Tan Pinggong." Mr. Yao said, "This person treats everyone with a look of spring breeze. He nods or talks with every guest, taking care of everyone's face."
"Is there something special about this?" Yoshida asked with interest. This person must have found something else when he said this.
"Tan Pinggong talked to the French Concession's 'Xiao Zheng' for a long time. I noticed that Tan Pinggong gave Cheng Qianfan an envelope." Mr. Yao said.
"Envelope?" Yoshida asked in thought.
"Yes." Mr. Yao nodded, "Cheng Qianfan opened the envelope and looked at it, then showed a happy look."
Yoshida lit a cigarette and thought quietly.
According to top-secret information reported by Zhao Changgeng, an ace agent lurking inside the empire or within the Chinese regime supported by the empire recently arrived in Shanghai.
Furthermore, the secret service of the Imperial lurking within the Chongqing government also had intelligence feedback. The military police headquarters comprehensively judged that the agent exposed by Zhao Changgeng was most likely the strategic-level agent of the Military Control Commission who was referring to He Xingjian.
Based on these intelligence, the Gendarmerie Command initially ruled out a key reason why Kentaro Miyazaki was involved in the case:
After following the arrangements of Eiichi Kanezuki, Miyazaki stayed in Shanghai three years ago.
Now, in today's key surveillance occasions, Cheng Qianfan has too much contact with Tan Pinggong and has passed on items. Does this mean that the previous conclusion that Kentaro Miyazaki can be overturned?
However, the problem arises. Zhao Changgeng's information shows that the assistant to the Shanghai station's website manager once asked him to help create an internal sticker from the Yuyao Chamber of Commerce.
With this sticker, it is equivalent to the outer village party recognized by the Yuyao Chamber of Commerce and can participate in some things and activities of the Yuyao Chamber of Commerce.
So, the dance party in Tan's mansion entered the sight of the military police headquarters.
However, all of this is just Yoshida's speculation. Even whether this person will come to participate in the Dan Mansion dance today is an unknown.
Even if this person came to the dance today, it is unknown whether this person is interested in a guest attending the meeting today, a person from the Tan family, or even an item.
Yoshida thought quickly in his mind, and he needed to further determine the impact of the new situation involving Kentaro Miyazaki on this incident.
If Kentaro Miyazaki gets involved in the eucalyptus again, it will be more troublesome.
Commander Ikenai privately reminded Yoshida that Kentaro Miyazaki was a student of Imamura Hoshitaro, and at the same time, this person was also a friend of Kawada Atsuto, the prince of the Kawada family. It was not that he could not investigate, but that he had to have sufficient evidence to arrest people.
"Tajun." Mr. Yao looked at Yoshida who was thinking, with a timid look and hesitation, and finally spoke.
"explain."
"Mei Luan said he seemed to see the bank note in the envelope." Mr. Yao said.
"Bank promissory notes? Have you seen it clearly?" Yoshida asked immediately after hearing this.
As he said that, he waved his hand and said to Zhao Changgeng, "Go, please come over by Mr. Mei."
"Hayi!" Zhao Changgeng learned Japanese, bowed, and soon went out to call a medium-sized young man over.
"Did you see the bank promissory note in the envelope that Tan Pinggong gave Cheng Qianfan?" Yoshida asked immediately.
"If you go back to Taijun, it may not be, or it may be." Mei Luan shook her head and nodded again.
"Huh?" Yoshida's face turned gloomy.
"Cheng Qianfan drank some wine and seemed to be a little too much. When he bent down to take out the lighter, the envelope fell out. The things inside fell out. He quickly picked them up and put them in the envelope." Mei Luan said while thinking, "The little one had time to see clearly the words Citi clearly, and it looked like a bank bill."
Yoshida glanced at Mei Luan deeply, then fell into deep thought.
Bank draft?
kindness?
If it was really a bank bill, it seemed that everything would be explained.
According to the investigation by the Gendarmerie Command, Kentaro Miyazaki is a greedy guy.
Isn’t this a very greedy guy who had received a bank bill from Tan Pinggong and showed a happy and satisfied smile on his face. Isn’t this a normal thing?
