The spy career of a surgeon

Chapter 233: Taking sides

At the junction of the Public Concession and the French Concession, there is a British-made racecourse. On the left side of the racecourse, there is a road called Weihaiwei Road.

The mansion of Ji Yunqing, the leader of the Qinggang Gang, is here.

It was already dark now, so the housekeeper took a cardboard package from the concierge, and then sent it to the master in the back hall.

Ji Yunqing had already finished his meal, and was now sipping tea, shaking his head and enjoying the wonderful Yue opera on the radio.

He has been in a good mood recently because Golden Velvet actually suffered a stroke.

He and Huang Jinrong are both senior members of the Youth Gang, so logically speaking, they should all be treated as equals.

But Jin Fu bullied others, relying on the French people's respect, and suppressed him for the rest of his life, so that in the French Concession, others only knew about Jin Fu and did not know about him, Ji Yunqing.

Forget it, after all, the French value gold velvet, and there is nothing anyone can do about it, so it will be suppressed.

But Golden Velvet is too unethical!

Who 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. In such a profitable business, he did not have any shares and only gave him some bulk goods in the field. of small money.

This is so hateful.

What is this if not humiliation?

"It's good to have a stroke." Ji Yunqing laughed out loud when he thought about this.

There are more smiles these days than in previous years.

Jin Jinrong suffered a stroke, Du Yuesheng ran away, and it was up to him to take charge of the French Concession.

As for Zhang Xiaolin, who is also trying to grab territory, it doesn't matter. Zhang Xiaolin only relies on the Japanese. Let's wait and see who can grab the other because they are all Japanese.

"Sir, there is a package, it is written for you."

"Well, let's take it apart and take a look." Ji Yunqing closed his eyes and enjoyed it.

"Yes." The housekeeper quickly opened the box and looked at the huge box. There was a letter inside, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

When he touched the metal object inside, he frowned.

And when the letter was opened, his expression changed drastically.

"Master, sir, take a look at this." The butler bowed and hurried up, opened his palm and showed the bullet inside.

Ji Yunqing, who was lying on the old man's chair, opened his eyes. He had an expression of enjoyment on his face. It was a feeling of comfort without any worries. But the next moment, he stood up suddenly, his eyes widened. This action is not like that of a 70-year-old man.

"Look what was said?" Ji Yunqing asked with a sullen face.

"Yes." The housekeeper immediately read it again. He stuttered when he thought about betraying the party and the country, and stuttered again when he thought about cleaning up the family. After reading just a few sentences, he stuttered several times.

As soon as he finished reading, he said hastily: "Master, something happened, they found Wu Sibao!"

"My hands and feet are really dirty!"

Ji Yunqing cursed, frowning and saying nothing.

Wu Sibao was naturally sent by him, and he knew that no one was arrested, but it didn't matter, because as long as these agents continued to act, they would be found by him sooner or later.

Just wait and see.

But this Wu Sibao was actually discovered!

"Master, how could they know that it was our people who did it?" The housekeeper was frightened and really didn't understand.

This was a person who was being targeted. Even a face-to-face meeting was not considered. Wu Sibao had already been discovered. The military commander's actions were too fast!

Where did they get such a dense intelligence network?

"how could I know."

Even though Ji Yunqing was angry, he couldn't figure out that Wu Sibao was just out for a trip.

And according to Wu Sibao's own statement, Wu Sibao said that he didn't even see what those two people looked like. How come he missed their appearance?

"Could it have been discovered before taking action? Wu Sibao was targeted at that time?"

"How is that possible? You were targeted and we were able to follow you. Do you think they are idiots?"

This group of people must not have noticed it beforehand. Ji Yunqing can still be sure of this.

While Ji Yunqing was thinking silently, the housekeeper couldn't hold it any longer: "Sir, the time given by the other party is very tight and we are asked to kill Wu Sibao ourselves. What should we do? They have killed so many people in the concession. It is really possible that they will find us."

"Why are you panicking? You've already done everything. Are you afraid it will be useless now? If you kill Wu Sibao, how will you be able to gain a foothold in the future if you tell me so?"

Ji Yunqing said in a conciliatory tone, although he did not expect the military commanders to be able to locate his people who were secretly searching so quickly, but now that something had happened, it was not without consideration before doing so.

"Increase your defenses and inform everyone at home not to go out if you have nothing to do recently. If you have to go out, bring more bodyguards. They must be leak-proof."

"Yes."

"And." Ji Yunqing narrowed his eyes slightly: "Continue to investigate, if you want me to die, then find these people for me first, and I'll see what trouble they can cause in the concession!"

"Yes." The butler responded first, and then asked in a low voice: "Master, is it worth it? In fact, to give you an explanation for this matter, just say that we didn't know about it. At worst, we can just arrange for Wu Sibao to run away. Those evil stars are really not good at all. So easy to mess with.”

The housekeeper really felt that there was no need to fight hard and it wouldn't do much good.

"What do you know?" Ji Yunqing frowned and said:

"Since ancient times, we have to choose sides. The sooner we take sides, the greater the benefits. We can donate money for the Battle of Songhu. Now that I am asked to donate, will you still donate?

Shanghai is lost, Nanjing is lost, Xuzhou is lost, the party-state is going to fall, sooner or later China will belong to the Japanese! You couldn't see clearly before, but you still can't see clearly now?

Don't look at our current situation in the concession. What if we wait for the Japanese to overthrow China?

Free your hands, is this concession still a French concession? Without any merit, can these Japanese people make you money steadily?

Look at Zhang Xiaolin, how smart he is. He is doing well now and is even more prestigious than the golden velvet back then. This is the advantage of choosing early. We are already too late."

Ji Yunqing took a long breath and said deeply: "Actually, I'm old, so it doesn't matter. How much rice can this old man eat? But if I don't do anything, what will happen to the whole family? What will you do? Can you keep your money? What?

Master, I have to fight harder for you."

"Master, it's just too dangerous."

"It's okay, do your best to protect yourself, how dangerous can it be?

Zhang Xiaolin has been dancing for so long. Do you think he is dead? No, it's still good. "

Ji Yunqing would never admit defeat if Zhang Xiaolin, a younger generation, dared to do something.

"This agent also has two shoulders and one head. He is a human being just like us. You form a circle around him and build a copper wall. Come out of this concession and see how he kills?"

There is no need to be afraid, just do the work. Find these people and hand them over to the Japanese. Our position will be stable. 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 and said, "Hey, it's me. Someone from the military command is looking for me. Yes, there's a letter coming very quickly. Okay, I'll send it to you with the person and the things."

Three hours later, the penthouse suite of Chinachem Hotel.

After Liu Kai asked the postman to deliver the things, he squatted in front of Ji Yunqing's house to watch their reactions, and now he came to report.

"I observed for three hours. After I delivered the things, a man who looked like a butler hurried out and returned after an hour and a half.

During this period, a car came, it was Wu Sibao's car. 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 they didn't look like important people. "

"Okay, very good. Wu Sibao took the box. This is courting death."

Zhou Qinghe is talking about Ji Yunqing. The purpose of designing this drama is to force people to the stage and go to all the trouble to investigate the people around Ji Yunqing, or start with the Qing Gang to see if Ji Yunqing is a traitor.

It's too much effort.

Once the box was given, the investigation on whether Ji Yunqing had anything to do with it was over.

"Wu Sibao, take the box and drive."

Zhou Qinghe could guess that the box was most likely going to Hongkou, but he didn't know which of the two new arrivals was the target.

"Is Wu Sibao still in Hongkou?"

"I just came back when I came back. I went in to see Ji Yunqing, stayed there for five minutes and left."

"Well."

Forget the idea of ​​taking a trip. Originally, Zhou Qinghe was planning to go for a walk by himself, and he would also ask the military police tomorrow.

"Follow me first, find out where Wu Sibao lives, and see if there are any opportunities to make a move. If so, make a move. Be careful, they may be on guard. They have just given away the gifts, and now is the time when they are most vigilant."

"Yes, I will tell them to be careful."

The next day, Zhou Qinghe went to the gendarmerie headquarters and took the time to ask about the movements of gendarmerie Li Liqun. He chose one of the two and saw if it was Li Liqun that Wu Sibao met.

"A member of the Youth Gang came to see Li Liqun last night and brought a box." the military policeman replied.

It was really him. Zhou Qinghe solved his doubts and was still a little puzzled. How come this Li Liqun knew the boss of the Qinggang?

Oh, by the way, this guy said that he used to work in Shanghai, so he must have known him before.

"Is he satisfied with where he lives?"

"He must be satisfied with what he picked. The rent in that place is not low." The military policeman also joked a few words, and said with a smile that he seemed a little jealous that the Chinese was living so well.

"Let's go and see him."

Zhou Qinghe has not gone to see Li Liqun since he parted ways with him in the conference room. Now that Li Liqun has settled down, it doesn't hurt to pay him a visit.

The residence Li Liqun chose is in the core area of ​​Hongkou.

In order to accommodate more Japanese residents, the reconstruction of Hongkou has resulted in a dense building density, 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 used directly by the number one defector.

"Sir Fujita, welcome."

When Li Liqun heard that Zhou Qinghe was coming, he took two steps to greet him. In order to avoid the identity difference between the captain and the captain, he shouted the word "sir" in a very Chinese manner.

"Are you still used to living here, Mr. Li?" As a Japanese, Zhou Qinghe's attitude was a bit alienating from thousands of miles away in his smile.

"It's not just a habit. This residence is very nice. Please invite me, Chief Fujita." Li Liqun raised his hand towards the room: "I just packed it up. If you don't mind, have a cup of tea. I bought it when I went out. It's not that good. Tea."

"I won't drink the tea." Zhou Qinghe didn't move and smiled calmly: "I stopped by to take a look. Mr. Li just needs to live comfortably. The military police headquarters has high hopes for Mr. Li. I also hope that you can come as soon as possible." Show results so that you can repay the Military Police Headquarters."

"Absolutely." Li Liqun used an excuse, with a smile on his face and no intention of saying more.

Zhou Qinghe asked directly, relying on his identity as a Japanese, "So when will Mr. Li come out with his results? I heard from the military police that Mr. Li hasn't even left the house these days. Why, he's not used to Hongkou?"

"It's nothing." Li Liqun said with a smile: "My wife and I are indeed adapting to the environment in Hongkou, but I have already started to work on things, and I even have the eyes of some military commanders. Chief Fujita will wait for two more days. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer to the Military Police Command."

He said it very confidently. Zhou Qinghe asked in surprise: "So fast? Really?"

"It's just a little eyebrow." He smiled quite modestly.

Zhou Qinghe nodded with satisfaction: "Mr. Li's work ability really impresses me. Okay, I'll wait for your good news. I'll go first. Are you a wife or a son?"

"Yes, the child is still young, and my wife is taking care of the child in the back room. Thank you, Chief Fujita, for your concern." Li Liqun bowed.

"Yes." Zhou Qinghe nodded slightly, paused, took out his wallet from his pocket, and took five 100 yen denominations: "Mr. Li has just arrived, and there are many places to use money, so consider it as my meeting gift."

"Thank you, Chief Fujita." Li Liqun said with a grateful expression, "Then I will be disrespectful."

"It's okay, get busy."

From this first conversation, Zhou Qinghe felt that Li Liqun was still strict. At least he didn't say anything about the box and the French Concession. Of course, he may have felt that it was unnecessary because there was no result.

However, the words "wait two more days and you will be rewarded" made Zhou Qinghe a little strange. Li Liqun's words seemed to be too sure when he showed his ability.

In the evening, Chinachem Hotel.

Zhou Qinghe came here after get off work to wait for Liu Kai's follow-up report.

It was seven o'clock in the evening when Liu Kai arrived.

"It's a bit late, what happened?" Zhou Qinghe looked at Liu Kai with a serious expression.

"These gangsters are quite good." Liu Kai took a deep breath and cheered up: "Today we arranged for Jiang Wen's people to follow us. Originally they were just a bunch of local gangsters. Logically speaking, they are easy to follow without anti-tracking training.

Who would have known that when Ji Yunqing and Wu Sibao traveled today, both groups of people were actually decoys. The two people themselves were surrounded by bodyguards, each with at least a dozen bodyguards.

Forget it, our people were following them looking for an opportunity, but who knew they were almost counter-tracked, and there were actually a group of gangsters surrounding them, as if they had been trained as agents, thieves, section chiefs, this must have been guided by an expert , it is impossible for people from the Qinggang to have such means. "

One or two is okay, but two encirclements, if you are not careful, you will fall into the pit.

"Li Liqun!"

Zhou Qinghe thought of him after hearing this, "It must be him. He guessed the action plan. He is too familiar with the methods of agents. He guessed that we would not give up, so the people who commanded the Qing Gang came to counter-track us."

"It's quite shrewd. Have our people been followed?"

"That's not true. It's just that there is no chance to intervene and we can't find any information. The whereabouts of Ji Yunqing and Wu Sibao were simply staged for us. The action team members refused to give up and tried some. I waited for them to confirm after they returned. He only came back without being followed."

"As long as nothing happens."

Zhou Qinghe is not in a hurry. When it comes to killing people, what he has to worry about is the person who will be killed. Why should the killer be anxious?

Being in constant fear is also a punishment in itself.

"What to do next? If you follow them like this, you will be exposed, but if you don't follow, you won't find any chance." Liu Kai scratched his head, a little worried: "I got Wu Sibao's residence, but it must be tightly guarded. , it should be impossible to get in."

"Let me think about it."

Zhou Qinghe sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and thought carefully. This kind of tracking was indeed unsustainable and a more direct method was needed.

"They want to lure us out and shoot us, and then use an ambush to catch us back. Then we can't follow the route they set."

Zhou Qinghe murmured in thought, his eyes flashing: "Yes, in this way, Ji Yunqing and Wu Sibao are surrounded by bodyguards. Where are their families? Ji Yunqing is seventy, right? There must be at least three generations of them, what about his son? Yes, are you so well protected?"

"But we can't find any information about these people. They don't live together."

The Ji family has a lot of money, and the generations must live separately. The problem is that there is no contact and no way to obtain more detailed information.

"Let me ask you, what is that housekeeper doing?"

"Guan Ao, I understand. The housekeeper and servants must know the information about Ji Yunqing and Wu Sibao."

"Catch him and interrogate him!"

This is called darkness under the lamp. Ji Yunqing and Wu Sibao could all think that the military commander was targeting them and arranged for bodyguards. Even their family members could not be found anywhere. But this was a big business, and who would protect the gardener and steward?

If you want to catch them, why don't you just catch them?

It is indeed inconvenient for Zhou Qinghe to inquire about Ji Yunqing's information. No one can use it, unless he sends a telegram to Boss Dai and asks Du Yuesheng to find a confidant, but that would be too slow.

It's the same thing if you grab your tongue.

Catch one and ask them about their whereabouts and habits. The rest is about fishing. Throw them out and sooner or later the mouths of these two people will be turned up.

Ji Yunqing's housekeeper is a housekeeper at home, but he is also a powerful figure outside the house.

This concession has one-third of an acre, and you can still rely on face to make a living.

There are many people who know his address, such as the rickshaw driver near Ji Yunqing's home.

At midnight, under the dim moonlight, the action team members used a dagger to pick out a rickshaw driver who came to urinate in the alley and gave him 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. He reported the housekeeper's address in a respectful manner, and said with dignity, "I heard about your murder of traitors. I am also patriotic. I can take you there."

The action team member smiled, warned him again not to look back, left words of farewell, cut everything with his knife, and gave him a sweet dream.

Having obtained this address, the next step is to sneak in and arrest the person.

The housekeeper was doing well. It looked like his family lived in the three-story ordinary residence. Considering that there was more than one person inside, four agents entered, intending to make a quick decision.

Opening the door was not the problem. The problem was that the members of the opening team and the housekeeper who was about to relieve themselves looked at each other, which was a bit awkward.

In this pitch-black atmosphere, the team members had no choice but to punch the housekeeper hard in the eye.

"Ouch." As soon as this pig-like cry came out of the butler's mouth, his mouth was covered, and then he was tied up.

"What's wrong?" A woman's voice came from next door. She was the housekeeper's wife.

A woman in pajamas came out and was beaten again by the team members.

It doesn't count to destroy the flowers with ruthless hands, and it is impossible to feel distressed. The five-flowered flowers are bound to serve, and the restraints are tight.

Then came the interrogation.

The housekeeper is just an ordinary person. Faced with professional agents, let alone interrogation, the name of the agent almost scares him to death.

The pale-faced man started to say something.

"A few days ago, a man named Li Liqun came to see me, claiming to be my disciple. He wanted me to help him find agents, which are you, in order to help the Japanese.

The master didn't agree at first, but the man named Li Liqun said that if he joined the Japanese, not only would his business be prosperous in the future, but he would also be guaranteed to get a monthly sum of money from the Japanese, and he would treat us as a member of the Youth Gang.

The master said he would consider it, but in fact I know he has already agreed, but he has fallen in love with Li Liqun's wife, and that look is unmistakable.

Strangely enough, the master did not agree to Li Liqun's request at that time, and Li Liqun was still a little depressed. After returning home, that woman came again that night and went back to the room with the master to sleep.

Then the master agreed. "

"Huh?" The members of the action team were a little overwhelmed by this turn of events.

He sacrificed his wife just to join the Japanese. Is there such a person in this world?

Before I had time to sigh, I heard the housekeeper swallow and say: "Hero, let's talk about it and let my wife and children go. I'll tell you a secret."

"What secret?"

"you."

"Don't tell me! Don't tell me that I resorted to tricks. Although we are not as shameless as Li Liqun and will not do anything to your wife, I can guarantee that your wife may feel that it is better to do something if the pain caused by the tricks is used."

The tactics used to scare people are top-notch among the military.

The housekeeper was also helpless and gritted his teeth and said: "Please, let them go. I'll tell you, the ones you escaped that day were hiding on Notre Dame Road. We have already found them there. Two for two, not a loss, right?"
