Cao Bingsheng hesitated for a moment and decided not to hide it from Chen Chen. "On the surface, he is just a small teahouse running errands, but in secret, he is inquiring about the news for me."

"Which gang is he from and what information was reported in the end?" Chen Chen continued to ask.

Cao Bingsheng said: "He is not considered an old man to worship, but it also has something to do. Well, Brother Shen knows the Central Hotel, and Ma Xiaosan works there."

Of course, Chen Chen knew the Central Hotel, which was opened by Lu Liankui, the inspector general of the Public Concession Police Officer Fang Hua, and was a famous figure.

At that time, this sentence was popular in Shanghai: "Nong doesn't want Kui (referring to being arrogant), no matter how arrogant Nong Kui, he is not Lu Liankui." It means "Who do you think you are, you are not Lu Liankui."

If you want to talk about this, Lu Liankui is also a legendary figure.

After joining the tycoon of the Youth Gang, Huang Jinrong was introduced to the British Concession Police Station as a "barrier" Chinese arrester, who was involved in a scheming and using various means of martial arts, was deeply loved by his superiors and was promoted step by step.

Later, Lu Liankui became the inspector general of the police department's investigation and arrest department, opened a department store, built a mainland swimming pool on Nanjing Road, founded the Central Hotel, Central South Hotel, etc., and then opened a "Central Restaurant" on Wuma Road.

At that time, when I was in Shanghai, everything was often impossible to solve in the name of Lu Liankui. His influence in Shanghai was even greater than that of his master.

Lu Liankui usually goes to the Central Hotel Manager's Office every afternoon after getting off work from the police station, meets all kinds of people, uses each other and makes profits from it.

Of course, there is a lot of information and intelligence in it. Ma Xiaosan must have found out some of it, and was bought by Cao Bingsheng, not to deal with anyone.

"His tongue is gone." Chen Chen suddenly said, "It also means that his hand was cut? I wonder if this matter will involve Brother Cao?"

Cao Bingsheng shook his head and said, "I just observed him secretly, but I had never had direct contact with him. He didn't know who I am."

After pausing, Cao Bingsheng approached Chen Chen and whispered: "The news about Ma Xiaosan sold last time was that someone had secretly found Lu Liankui, which looked like a Japanese."

Oh, Chen Chen had a sudden blow in his heart. Could it be that Lu Liankui fell into the water and became a traitor? Did Ma Xiaosan be silenced after seeing or hearing some secrets?

"No matter whether it is true or false, Brother Shen offended the Japanese, you have to be careful of Lu Liankui." Cao Bingsheng didn't give up, as if he was trying to get ahead, as if he was reminding him with concern.

"Thank you, Brother Cao, for reminding me, I will be more careful." Chen Chen nodded and expressed his gratitude again.

After seeing Cao Bingsheng off, Chen Chen thought for a long time and felt that as a large number of Japanese police officers entered the Police Department of the Ministry of Industry, the situation in the concession was becoming more and more complicated.

It is very likely that someone like Lu Liankui has wealth and family in Shanghai to provide convenience for him under the threat and temptation of the Japanese.

Beware of others!

Chen Chen knew that although he was appreciated and supported by the Western bosses of the Ministry of Industry, the Japanese regarded him as a thorn in his side. He really had to be more careful and be vigilant in the future.

But things often develop beyond expectations. Within a few days, nothing happened to Chen Chen. Tan Shaoliang, the inspector of the Public Concession Police Department, was assassinated at a Shanghai hotel. Many newspapers speculated that it was done by Chinese agents.

Tan Shaoliang is a graduate of St. John's University. He once served as an interpreter. Later, he became a senior police officer of the Political Department of the Public Concession. He is the highest-level Chinese among them. He is said to be "sharp in his eyes and quite scheming."

Of course, Tan Shaoliang is also one of the senior police officers in the police station who has received economic subsidies from the government for a long time on a monthly basis, but he did not follow the instructions of the government. It is said that he wanted to reach an agreement with the Japanese to extradite the anti-Japanese suspects arrested in the police station to the Japanese side.

In this world, if you want to be a traitor, you must be careful to lose your life!

Chen Chen just smiled indifferently at this. Since neither side can be offended, then dying as a hero is still a world of difference between dying as a traitor.

The news that Ma Mingyu reminded Chu Jiao was also correct, and Chinese agents began to punish traitors in Shanghai.

Starting from June 1938, a strong wave of "patriotic enthusiasm" suddenly appeared in Shanghai, and the banner of Chinese nationalists was flying at all anniversary events.

Although the pro-Japanese zodiac and Revival Society also fought back, Chinese resistance was still the prevailing in the fall and early winter of 1938.

On June 9, Shang Deming, director of the Ship Inspection Department of the Pseudo Reform Government, was assassinated by an assassin disguised as a beggar;

On June 17, a bloody incident occurred in Room 605 of Xinxin Hotel. Ma Yuhang, assistant director of the Political Section of the Japanese Special Services Agency, was shot and killed. Neither the waiter nor the guest heard the gunshots;

On June 23, a Japanese outpost in Hongkou was attacked, and a total of five sentries were killed;

On June 25, Gu Qingyi, a grain merchant who was about to take over as president of the Citizens Association, was killed at the entrance of Yongda Grain Store on the Catholic Road;

On July 2, the famous literati and president of the National News Agency, Mu Shiying, was shot in the head when he walked out of the dance hall;

On July 7, the assassination team organized by Sun Yaxing, the second company of the former Rangers' Special Forces Corps, carried out a bomb case, throwing out 18 grenades, killing and injuring many people;

Especially on the anniversary of the July 7 Incident in 1938 and the August 13th War of Resistance, Chinese rebels launched two comprehensive "big riots" in Shanghai.

Shanghai 7th                                                             �

While the strike and market strike occurred, various blocks in Shanghai extended along roads and waterways to suburban counties and towns. At the same time, incidents of interception and ambushing Japanese troops and traitors, attacking Japanese institutions and Japanese-funded enterprises, shooting and throwing grenades at Japanese barracks, attacking Japanese military ships, etc.

The riots came fiercely and were so powerful that they attracted the attention of the whole world.

During the riot, the concession authorities mobilized all military and police forces, including the Belarusian volunteers, to prevent riots.

During the next twenty-four hours of patrol, nearly a thousand suspects were arrested by the police station of the Ministry of Industry and Technology, and hundreds of suspects were arrested by the police station of the French Concession.

Of course, as the inspector, Chen Chen was also ordered to lead his subordinates to patrol and arrest some suspects.

This is also impossible. Chen Chen's subordinates are not hardcore, and it is not even known whether there are Japanese spies watching.
