Chapter 1416 Peach in Action
"Given Lin Zhaojie's position, he is more able to obtain local intelligence in Jimo. He cannot access top-secret information such as the 'Big Three' meeting. Ke Zhijiang is very smart. He will not be fooled and will immediately determine that something has happened to Lin Zhaojie." Wang Tiemu explained to Hu Sishui.
Hu Sishui nodded and smiled awkwardly.
"Well, arrange for Lin Zhaojie to call Youji Tobacco and Sundry Store." Li Cuiqun said after thinking, "Arrange the brothers to keep a close eye on Youji Tobacco and Sundry Store and track everyone who leaves Youji Tobacco and Sundry Store after the phone call."
His eyes were sinister but with a hint of excitement. "According to what Lin Zhaojie said, we can draw a conclusion that Youji Tobacco and Sundry Store can directly contact Ke Zhijiang. So, after receiving the call, Youji Tobacco and Sundry Store will send someone to meet Ke Zhijiang..."
"In this way, we can follow the clues and find Ke Zhijiang!" Wang Tiemu said.
"I'll arrange for Lin Zhaojie to make the call right away." Hu Sishui said.
"No." said Wan Haiyang, who had remained silent and had not expressed any opinion.
Everyone looked at him.
"Calling so late, I'm worried that it would arouse Ke Zhijiang's vigilance and suspicion." Wan Haiyang said.
"Your concerns are reasonable." Li Cuiqun nodded and looked at Lin Zhaojie.
Wan Haiyang grabbed Lin Zhaojie's hair.
"When you have intelligence to report, what time do you usually choose to call Youji Tobacco and Sundry Store?" Li Cuiqun asked, "Or can you call at any time?"
Lin Zhaojie was about to speak, but Li Cuiqun said coldly, "Think it through, don't try to be clever."
"Brother Lin, since you have already chosen to join the light, why are you hesitating?" Wang Tiemu understood Li Cuiqun's concerns and advised, "Since you have already decided to join Mr. Wang, don't have any inappropriate thoughts."
"If there is urgent information, I will try to sneak out of the newspaper office and make a phone call." Lin Zhaojie swallowed hard and said, "However, this situation is rare. Most of the time, I leave the newspaper office at noon to eat lunch, or call after getting home from get off work."
"Tomorrow afternoon is too late. If we delay, things will change." Li Cuiqun thought for a moment and said, "Let's set it for tomorrow noon."
As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Zhaojie and said with a smile, "Since Brother Lin has already turned from evil to good, don't treat him harshly. Move to a more comfortable place and heal your wounds. Have a good lunch tomorrow and bring Brother Lin to make a phone call."
After saying that, Li Cuiqun looked at Wan Haiyang again.
"Director, rest assured. I will take good care of Brother Lin." Wan Haiyang said with a smile, "Brother Lin is a smart man. He can eat and drink well here, so he will naturally not have any inappropriate thoughts."
……
Seaside Department Store.
Ke Zhijiang personally poured tea for Hu Zejun and Deng Wenye.
"How's the tunnel going?" he asked.
Considering that it was almost impossible to sneak into the Guest House, and even if they could sneak in by chance, it would be an impossible task to assassinate Wang Tianhai under the protection of so many agents, police, and Japanese military police. Therefore, Qingdao Station took a different approach and came up with a more brilliant idea.
Cum digging tunnels.
After studying the terrain around the Guest House, Ke Zhijiang locked onto a vacant house and arranged for his men to sneak into the house, hoping to dig a tunnel leading directly to the underground of the Guest House. He then buried a huge amount of explosives in the tunnel and waited for the three traitors Wang Tianhai, Liang Hongzhi and Wang Keming to hold a meeting with Japanese representatives to decisively detonate the explosives. In this way, he could successfully wipe out all the traitors and Japanese soldiers without any casualties. This was a brilliant plan!
"The distance to be dug is quite long, and the brothers are working overtime." Hu Zejun said, "However, the Japanese have imposed martial law in that area, and the brothers dare not move too much, so the progress is not as expected."
"According to what I said, we should have chosen the other house." Deng Wenye couldn't help but say.
There is another private house close to the guesthouse. Although the house is not vacant, Deng Wenye said that he could lead his brothers to sneak in, control the residents, and then dig a tunnel there, which is closer and more suitable.
However, this suggestion was jointly rejected by Ke Zhijiang and Hu Zejun.
The reason was that it was too close to the Guest House and would be easily discovered by the Japanese and spies. In addition, digging a tunnel would make the most noise at the beginning, and it was difficult to ensure that it would not arouse the enemy's vigilance and suspicion.
In addition, do not doubt the enemy's cunning. They may be able to successfully control the homeowner, but the homeowner is a family, and it is impossible for the whole family not to go out. That would arouse suspicion from those who have ulterior motives. Even if they use hostages as a threat and let one or two of the homeowner's family members go out, there are huge hidden dangers.
……
"This matter has been settled, no need to say more." Ke Zhijiang glared at Deng Wenye, "We only have one chance, so we can never be too careful."
He looked around at everyone and said, "I know that you brothers are all brave men who are not afraid of death. It is not a pity for us to die, but we cannot miss this God-given opportunity."
"What the stationmaster said is absolutely right." Hu Zejun nodded and said, "It's just digging a tunnel. Although it's a bit far, the brothers will work overtime and will surely be able to open it in the near future."
As he said this, he looked at Ke Zhijiang and said, "Stationmaster, are the explosives ready?"
"Don't worry about the explosives." Ke Zhijiang said, "Before the Nationalist Army withdrew, Chairman Shen ordered the destruction of many factories and facilities in Qingdao. We have a lot of explosives left."
Hu Zejun nodded. At that time, the Military Control Commission's Qingdao Station was also ordered to carry out the bombing mission and received a lot of explosives from the National Army.
"Okay, Brother Hu, Brother Deng, tell your brothers to overcome all difficulties, work hard, and make sure to hurry up to dig the tunnel." Ke Zhijiang raised a smile on his face, "Tell everyone, this is a great achievement. Once it is done, the chairman and boss Dai will definitely reward you generously. It goes without saying that we are all good men. When the country is in crisis, we are not afraid to die on the battlefield."
"Brothers!" Ke Zhijiang raised his glass, "China has always produced heroes. You and I brothers also have the opportunity to go down in history, serve the party and the country, and go down in history - today!"
After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.
"Serve the Party and the country!" Everyone raised their glasses, "Leave a name in history!"
Qi Yafeng obediently poured wine for Ke Zhijiang and the brothers. Her eyes were full of love as she looked at Ke Zhijiang. Such a good man is her, Qi Yafeng's, man!
……
Market 2nd Road, Japanese Xifei Trading Company.
At the entrance of an alley diagonally opposite the foreign company, Qiao Chuntao stared at the foreign company, and beside him were Mao Xuanyi and two other brothers.
"Have you found out everything?" Qiao Chuntao asked in a deep voice.
"That's right." Mao Xuanyi said, "Xifei Foreign Trade Co. was opened by a Japanese named Xifei Keyosuke, who was originally a poor Japanese ronin."
"This was originally a grain and groceries store. After the Japanese occupied Qingdao, this man flattered an officer of the Military Police Headquarters and falsely accused the owner of the grain and groceries store of participating in anti-Japanese activities, killing the owner's family. He then opened this Xifei Foreign Company here."
"Xifei Jianzhisuke can be said to have committed all kinds of evil. He colluded with the gendarmerie to oppress and harm other businesses. His hands are stained with the blood of Qingdao citizens." Mao Xuanyi said, "and..."
"And what?" Qiao Chuntao asked.
"I suspect that the Xifei Trading Company is not just a Japanese trading company that harms the people, but is most likely a secret branch of the Japanese gendarmerie," said Mao Xuanyi.
"None of this matters anymore." Qiao Chuntao shook her head and sneered.
"The most important thing now is, does Xifei Foreign Company have what we want?" he asked Mao Xuanyi.
"Xifei Jianosuke was arrogant and domineering. He always carried a pistol across his shoulder when he went out. In addition, Xifei Foreign Company had two Japanese ronin thugs, and these two Japanese ronin also had guns." Mao Xuanyi said, "There were also two Chinese guys in the foreign company. These two followed the Japanese and committed many evil things and oppressed Chinese people. It is said that these two people once tricked a little girl who fled famine into working in the foreign company. The next day, the poor girl's body appeared in a mass grave."
"This is the one." Qiao Chuntao snorted coldly.
Several people stopped talking and stared at the foreign company diagonally opposite.
About half an hour later, the lights in the bank went out.
Mao Xuanyi looked at Qiao Chuntao.
Qiao Chuntao didn't move. After waiting for about half an hour, Taozi took out a black mask from her body and covered her face with it, "Do it!"
A few people went around the front door of the shop and came to the alley behind the backyard wall. Mao Xuanyi took a running start, biting a dagger in his mouth, climbed up to the top of the wall nimbly, and then landed lightly.
About two minutes later, the back door was opened.
When Qiao Chuntao brought two brothers in, they saw that Mao Xuanyi already had a pistol in his hand, and he handed the pistol to Qiao Chuntao.
Taozi took it and took a look at it, her eyes full of disgust. This was a Nanbu Type 14 short rifle.
He casually handed the pistol to a brother next to him.
"If all the guns in Xifei Foreign Company were these broken ones..." another brother shook his head.
Qiao Chuntao glared at him, and the brother immediately shut up.
The group tiptoed through the yard and saw a man dressed as a waiter lying on the ground with his head tilted, apparently dead, at the door of the inner room.
Just at this moment, the light in the inner room came on, and someone was coughing and talking.
Qiao Chuntao and Mao Xuanyi looked at each other, then rushed in with daggers in their hands.
A man dressed as a waiter was walking over in a daze to check the situation. Mao Xuanyi pounced on him, covered his mouth tightly with one hand, and used the dagger in his right hand to cut his throat.
The man pushed the ground hard with his feet, struggled for a few times, and then stopped moving.
Two minutes later.
The body of Nishihi Kanamesuke was lying diagonally a few meters away from the bed. Outside the bedroom, two Japanese ronin had their necks slit and their bodies were lying on the ground.
"Team leader, why don't you interrogate him?" A brother asked after seeing Qiao Chuntao kill Xifei Jianosuke without hesitation, "Didn't they say that this man might be a spy from the military police?"
"No need." Mao Xuanyi answered him, "Xiao Cui, we are robbers today, so we will lose if we talk too much."
Qiao Chuntao glanced at Mao Xuanyi and nodded with satisfaction.
They wanted to create the illusion that this was just a murderous plot for money in order to confuse the enemy and prevent them from suspecting that they were anti-Japanese elements.
The upcoming meeting of the 'Big Three' may alert the Japanese.
Of course, Qiao Chuntao also knew that because the dead were Japanese, the enemy would inevitably suspect that it was anti-Japanese elements who did it.
However, no matter how suspicious the enemy is, they still have to do what they should do.
Afterwards, Qiao Chuntao and others searched the Xifei Foreign Company thoroughly.
Taozi looked at the harvest on the ground, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her face.
In addition to the two Nambu pistols that all the brothers disliked, there were also three Mauser pistols. Most importantly, a Type 38 rifle was found in the storage room of Nishihi Keynosuke, as well as four Type 38 rifles, several bullets, and more than a dozen grenades.
"The Type 38 rifle and the Nambu pistol should have been equipped by the military police to Nishihi Kanamenosuke." Mao Xuanyi thought for a moment and said, "The Mauser pistol and the Zhongzheng pistol, as well as these wooden-handled grenades should have been weapons seized from us by the Japanese."
Qiao Chuntao nodded. These weapons showed that the Xifei Foreign Company must be the secret branch of the gendarmerie.
"We've got quite a lot of hauls," Qiao Chuntao said. "Take away all the weapons and loot, and retreat!"
"Only take the yellow croaker, silver dollars, jewelry, gold ornaments, and paper money." Mao Xuanyi added, "Don't touch other large items no matter how valuable they are."
Qiao Chuntao glanced at Mao Xuanyi and said: You are an expert.
……
The next day.
Early morning hours.
A military truck flying a Japanese flag suddenly braked and stopped in front of the door of Xifei Foreign Company.
The puppet police chief who was investigating inside the foreign company hurried out and greeted them enthusiastically.
"Taijun."
"Qiao Sang." Chai Yangshan Temple said coldly, "Tell me about the situation at the scene."
"Hello." Qiao Shanyi, the captain of the inspection team of the pseudo-police station in Qingdao, saluted first, then said respectfully, "Half an hour ago, a night watchman saw the back door of Xifei Foreign Trade Company was half open, so he looked inside and saw a dead person."
"Two of the guys died, one in the yard and one in the main room. The two ladies, Qingtian and Yingmu, died at the stairs, and Xifei died in the bedroom."
"The room was turned upside down." Qiao Shanyi said cautiously, "It looks like a gangster committed a crime."
"A notorious thief?" Chai Yangsi gave Qiao Shanyi a cold look. "How dare a notorious thief attack a foreign company owned by the people of the Empire of Japan?"
"It's obvious that this group of people are veterans. They didn't take any antiques or big items. The gold bars, banknotes, and silver dollars from the foreign bank are all gone." Qiao Shanyi led the group from Chaiyang Temple into the house and explained, "In addition to these, there are also some empty jewelry boxes, and the jewelry inside is also gone."
"They only took things that were easy to carry, such as gold bars, silver dollars, banknotes, and jewelry. They didn't touch anything big, no matter how valuable it was." Qiao Shanyi continued to accompany him carefully, "The method was very professional. It was obvious that he was a frequent criminal."
Chai Yangsi did not speak. He led his men to check around the foreign company, and then asked in a deep voice, "Where are the guns? Where are the guns from the foreign company?"
