He then shook the lighter vigorously. At the same time, he took the opportunity to observe the situation around him, then he turned the lighter and lit the cigarette in his mouth.

"What have you found?" Cheng Qianfan asked.

Just now he noticed a man in a half-old suit was suspicious near the scene.

Other onlookers were talking, but this person's eyes were only looking at the people around him, which immediately attracted Cheng Qianfan's attention.

It cannot be said that this person is not cautious, it can only be said that some behaviors fall into the eyes of those who are interested and become easily exposed.

Of course, it is not ruled out that some people are just weird and like to look around.

However, as an agent, you must always be vigilant.

What really made Cheng Qianfan judge that there was something wrong with this person was that after Changhu and his cousin left the breakfast stall, he went up to buy water-fried bread and asked about the situation.

Cheng Qianfan had two doubts at that time:

First, this person came for Chang Si and his cousin.

Second: This person is from the same group as Chang Si and that cousin.

In addition, when the man raised his hand and paid the stall owner of the water-fried bun, the gold watch appeared on his wrist.

The same person was wearing a half-old suit and the top hat on his head was obviously inconsistent with it.

Therefore, Cheng Qianfan judged that this person had a problem and was most likely a spy:

Agents from the Party Investigation Department of the Fuxing Society? The Japanese side? The Green Gang? Or the spy in the police station?

Cheng Qianfan was unable to confirm, the only thing that could be confirmed was that this person was not the Red Party.

The reason is-

"Brother Fan, that man smokes big cigarettes." Li Hao said.

"Confirm?" Cheng Qianfan asked.

"Yes, the taste is not wrong." Li Hao said.

"You have seen this person look so check it secretly." Cheng Qianfan ordered, "Let me find the people in the tobacco restaurant to find out and keep it confidential."

"Okay, I'll go back to the police room and ask about this person later." Li Hao said.

Cheng Qianfan was stunned at first, then suddenly realized that he couldn't help but shake his head and smiled.

The tobacco house in the Central Police Station suffered heavy losses in this large-scale search, especially his third patrol, and he was even more ruthless. Now there are some people from the tobacco house in the police station.

...

Back at the police station office, Cheng Qianfan made a cup of tea, sat on the lounge chair, raised one foot on the table, and flipped through the latest "Shen Bao".

"Shenbao" reported on yesterday's war in large quantities.

In the public concession, between Broadway Road, West Desway Road, and Feilun Road, fierce battles broke out between China and Japan.

The Kuomintang army once rushed across the Sikazi Bridge and attacked the East Street.

In Huishan Wharf, the national army once occupied the East-West Daban Wharf on Yhar Road.

However, because the Japanese reinforcements had arrived and after many battles between the two sides, the national army was basically forced to withdraw from its newly occupied positions.

In addition, Japanese reinforcements have landed at Wusongkou and established mudflat positions.

Faced with the fierce counterattack of the Japanese army, the Kuomintang army suffered heavy casualties and was forced to withdraw from Yangshupu and defend along the concession intersection.

Cheng Qianfan shook his head expressionlessly.

The Kuomintang army failed to seize the absolute advantage of military strength in the early stages of the war, eliminated the Japanese army stationed in Shanghai and drove them into the Huangpu River to feed the fish.

Now, the Japanese reinforcements have arrived, and the attack and defense have been changed. It is the Japanese turn to attack and the National Army to defend.

...

Putting down the newspaper, Cheng Qianfan was thinking about Chang Hun and his cousin at Tianya Photo Studio.

The police station did not receive a report from Tianya Photo Studio.

In addition, Li Hao has been paying attention to the situation of the black market. Most of the "stolen goods" in Tianya Photo Studio have been invested in the black market and have not attracted attention or inquiries.

In this way, Cheng Qianfan came to two analytical conclusions.

There must be something wrong with Tianya Photo Studio, Chang Hunter and his cousin. As for which camp these two are, it is unknown.

Tianya Photo Studio has no connection with the black market, or in other words, this group of forces has not been too involved with the local gang forces in Shanghai.

In this way, Cheng Qianfan thought further.

This shows that the forces behind Tianya Photo Studio are outsiders.

Or there is no foundation in Shanghai.

A foreign household?

He pondered.

Just as Cheng Qianfan was drinking tea, raising his legs, smoking cigarettes, and thinking, the door of his office was suddenly pushed open.

"What a bluff..." Cheng Qianfan cursed, and saw Pitt, who was angry and appeared in front of him with a flushed face.

"What's wrong? Who is it? He's so brave that he dares to provoke Lieutenant Pitt from the Political Department!" Cheng Qianfan pretended to be angry and joked with Pitt, "Is it Mrs. Tandel, or Miss Pierre? Or..."

"Shut up." Pete was not in the mood to play with this guy, and said angrily, "Something happened."

"What's wrong?" Cheng Qianfan then realized something was wrong, and his face turned solemn and asked.

Pete took out a document from his body, which was in French.

Cheng Qianfan looked at it:

Hasegawa, commander of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, announced the blockade of China's coastal ports, starting from Shanhaiguan and ending in Shantou.
