  Chapter 399 Notorious Inspector Xiao Cheng (please subscribe and ask for tickets)

   "What happened?" Cheng Qianfan fastened the discipline buckle, put on his riding boots, put on his police cap, adjusted his gun belt, and asked casually.

   "The Japanese bombed the concession." Hou Pingliang said.

   "Where did it explode?" Cheng Qianfan walked straight towards the door, and the waiters along the way stopped and bowed.

   "Two bombs fell in the British-American Concession." Hou Pingliang stepped forward to help Inspector Xiao Cheng open the door, "It is said that many people died."

   "The Japanese are brave enough." Cheng Qianfan muttered.

  A black car was parked on the side of the road. When Da Tou Lu saw Inspector Xiao Cheng coming out, he got out of the car and opened the door himself.

  Cheng Qianfan nodded and got into the back seat.

  Big Tou Lu boarded the co-pilot.

  Hou Pingliang and another policeman stood on the side steps of the car, each holding a baton, as a warning.

   "Beep." The driver honked twice, and the car drove fast.

   Along the way, panicked crowds can be seen running around like headless chickens.

  Cheng Qianfan frowned. He understood that this was why Tan Detai called all the inspectors to the arrest hall for a meeting.

  Although it was the Anglo-American Concession, not the French Concession, that was bombed, this is an extremely bad precedent.

   This also broke the citizens' psychological barrier against the Japanese not daring to do anything to the concession.

  Once the concession was no different from the Chinese world, the Japanese still dared to throw bombs unscrupulously, which had a great psychological impact on the citizens of the concession.

  Many people will once again fall into the despair and fear of being dominated by the flames of war.

  In this case, there will inevitably be chaos in the market.

  …

   "Brother Lu, tell me the specific situation." Cheng Qianfan said to the big head Lu.

   "Yes." Datou Lu immediately reported the situation.

  About half an hour ago, the Japanese bomber first dropped a bomb on Church Road in the middle of the public concession, directly hitting a building of the US Navy. The bomb penetrated directly from the top of the third floor all the way down to the ground floor.

   "The Americans were lucky, the bomb didn't explode," Datou Lu said.

   Immediately afterwards, a Japanese bomb fell on Nanjing Road, directly penetrated the third-floor balcony of Xianshi Department Store, and exploded immediately.

  At that time, the Xianshi Department Store and the Xianshi Amusement Park were crowded with people, and many citizens who brought their children to go shopping and play gathered here.

  Wing On Department Store and Xianshi Department Store, Amusement Park and nearby stores suffered heavy casualties.

"It is said that there were almost a thousand casualties." Datou Lu said with a serious expression, "A large number of citizens were killed and injured. In addition, the most important thing is that more than a dozen people were killed and injured by the police who managed traffic lights and directed traffic, and dozens of foreigners were also killed and injured. Americans are angry."

  Yes, the British and American public concessions were extremely angry about this bombing tragedy. The most important reason was the patrol and the heavy casualties of foreigners, especially the latter.

  Passing by a tobacco store, Cheng Qianfan glanced at the electric pole in front of the tobacco store through the car window, and quickly looked away.

  Cheng Qianfan returned to No. 22 Xue Huali Road.

  The Chief Inspector of the Central Police Department, Qin Detai, held an emergency meeting.

  First of all, there was an urgent announcement from the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry. The French Concession authorities strongly condemned the bad behavior of the Japanese army in bombing the British and American public concessions.

   Subsequently, Qin Detai read out the order of Police Chief Ferguson.

  The police houses in the French Concession have stepped up patrols, but there are small incidents of chaos, which is the key point in troubled times, and the patrols are allowed to shoot and kill directly.

  In fact, the market has become chaotic. Some thieves and yakuza spread rumors that the Japanese are going to bomb Joffre Road, intentionally creating chaos and looting shops.

Xiafei Road Patrol Room Ma No. 1 Detention Station was not able to respond in time. At first, it was attacked by rioters, causing two patrolmen to be killed and injured. Although the patrolmen shot and shot down, five rioters were killed and three were arrested. However, Xiafei Several shops along the road were already in a mess and engulfed in flames.

  If the fire department hadn't arrived quickly, Xiafei Road would have been caught in the fire.

  …

  After the meeting ended, Tan Detai left Cheng Qianfan to speak.

   "Your master, Ma Yishou, performed very badly and is very likely to be dismissed." Qin Detai said.

   "Is it settled?" Cheng Qianfan said worriedly, "If there is a change, please ask President Qin to help clear up one or two. Qianfan and the master are very grateful."

   "Captain Ferguson is very angry." Tan Detai shook his head.

There was a bombing tragedy in the public concession, and mobs immediately caused chaos on Xiafei Road, which made French Concession Police Superintendent Ferguson extremely dissatisfied. ability has been greatly doubted.

  Cheng Qianfan remained silent.

  Tan Detai glanced at him, and he was quite satisfied with Cheng Qianfan's willingness to try to pull the horse and guard him. No one would dislike a subordinate who values ​​love and righteousness.

   "There is no room for change in this matter." Qin Detai said, "If Lu Dazhang hadn't appeared in time, led the patrol and shot and killed two thugs, and controlled the scene, the matter would have been unimaginable."

   "Lu Dazhang?" Cheng Qianfan glanced at Chief Inspector Tan in astonishment, it turned out to be Lu Dazhang?

   "Unexpected." Tan Detai also shook his head with a wry smile.

"Fan Lu Dazhang was dismissed for his ineffectiveness in his work before, and his master got the position of inspector of Xiafei Road. This time, Lu Dazhang might step on his master and come back." Cheng Qianfan sighed, but he was actually stunned. up.

"Go and see Ma Yishou, have a drink or two with him, and tell him that he was sent out by my subordinates, I will keep his affairs in mind, and I will think about him when I have a chance." Tan Detai patted Cheng Qianfan said over his shoulder.

   "Mr. Qin showed great care, and Qian Fan thanked you on behalf of the master." Cheng Qianfan saluted with a touch of emotion.

  Cheng Qianfan left the chief inspector's office, but did not go downstairs immediately.

   Instead, he went directly to the office of Second Lieutenant Pete, the deputy head of the investigation squad of the Political Department, asked Second Lieutenant Pete for the car keys, and borrowed his Citroen.

  …

  Ma Yishou owns two houses, one on Father Jin Road in Central District, and the other on Maggie Road in Mailan District.

  After he was transferred from the Central District to the inspector of Xiafei Road in the French Concession, Ma Yishou lived in the home of Maggie Road, because Maggie Road was closer to Xiafei District.

  Qiao Chuntao put on her sunglasses and pressed the brim of her hat. 'She' found a separate table, took out a handkerchief, wiped the bench and the dining table, and ordered a pot of tea, some snacks and melon seeds.

   Listening to a blind man playing the erhu with great interest.

  After Master A Bing became famous in Shanghai, it seemed that overnight, many blind men wearing sunglasses and playing the erhu came out of Shanghai.

   Qiao Chuntao is waiting.

  He arrived at the appointed place just now and did not see Cheng Qianfan, so he came here directly to wait.

   This is the plan that the team leader explained in advance.

  If a sudden emergency signal is seen on the telegraph pole in front of the tobacco shop, the operation will be terminated immediately, and all team members will enter a dormant state.

  If he doesn't see the emergency signal, he just needs to come here and wait for the second connection.

  …

  A French Citroen car drove over.

  Qiao Chuntao raised his eyes and looked over. This was the car of Second Lieutenant Pete of the Political Department of the Central District Patrol House. He recognized the license plate.

  An old man was about to cross the road, but he was afraid and hesitated.

   Halfway across the road, I stood there.

   The driver of this car was a little slow in his first reaction and almost hit the old man.

  Afterwards, the car continued to drive forward for dozens of steps, the door opened, Inspector Xiao Cheng came down with a horsewhip, pointed the whip at the old man and yelled, "You old tortoise, you want to die."

  The old man was scared at first, but he was scolded again, so frightened that he sat down on the ground and howled.

   There was excitement to watch, everyone's attention was attracted, and they quickly gathered to watch.

  Some citizens with a sense of justice were about to blurt out accusations and comments, but when they saw that it was Inspector Xiao Cheng, their faces changed and they dared not speak.

  An exception was a man in a green cloth coat, who scolded Cheng Qianfan for his bad behavior of bullying the old man.

   Inspector Xiaocheng responded:

   Directly whipped over.

   Thank you very much for the rewards of [望闻古古T_T] 100 starting coins, [book friend 141111220025065] 100 starting coins, and [Bai Yumeng] 6 starting coins.
