Cheng Qianfan had already guessed what Araki Harima wanted to do when he sent Kakinuma Yushio to Nishi Jiraiki Street.
When he led people into Yamazaki Shuichi's home, it was certain that Kakinuma Yushifu was already in Nishi Jiraiki Street.
What Yoshio Kakinuma had to do was wait for him to leave, enter Yamazaki Shuichi's home, and kill Yamazaki Shuichi.
As for what is the purpose of Araki Harima's move?
Cheng Qianfan thought about it, and there were only two possibilities.
First of all, Araki Harima ordered Kakinuma Yushifu to kill Yamazaki Shuichi, with the purpose of putting the blame on him.
Even if Kentaro Miyazaki tried his best to argue that he was not the one who killed Shuichi Yamazaki, given that he already had the lives of Tsubasa Naito and Hiroyuki Kikube in his hands, I am afraid Mimotojiro would also suspect that he killed Shuichi Yamazaki.
of.
Then--
One is to seize his handle and use it to blackmail and control him.
After all, whether it was getting rid of Tsubasa Naito or sending gunmen to kill Hiroyuki Kikube, it was all with the tacit approval of Jiro Mimoto.
But Yamazaki Shuichi is not the same. This is his taking action against his own people without authorization. This can indeed be used as a handle for Araki Harima to blackmail him.
However, Cheng Qianfan believes that this possibility is low.
Based on his relationship with Araki Harima, the two are good friends who combine interests and friendship, and Araki does not need to do this.
In addition, the root cause of this matter is not Araki Harima, but how Sanbonjiro would view this matter.
Therefore, Cheng Qianfan is more inclined to another possibility:
Through this incident, Araki Harima further aggravated the misunderstanding, or it can be said to be a rift, between him and Sanbonjiro.
So why did Araki Harima do this?
Araki Harima's dissatisfaction with Sanbonjiro has reached a certain level.
He is looking for allies.
In view of Kentaro Miyazaki's consistent respect and loyalty to Sanbonjiro, Araki Harima was not sure whether his good friend would stand by his side if the conflict between him and Sanbonjiro further expanded.
And now, with the death of Shuichi Yamazaki, Sanbonjiro's dissatisfaction and suspicion of Kentaro Miyazaki will be even deeper. In this case, Kentaro Miyazaki is not only a good friend of Araki Harima, but also an absolute ally who will further bind him.
Even standing by his side unconditionally.
interesting.
Cheng Qianfan chuckled. It seemed that Araki Harima was very dissatisfied with Sanbonjiro's unconditional favor and favoritism for Chikitaharaji, and even for favoring people promoted by Chikitaharaji.
…
"Where is Lao Jiu?" Cheng Qianfan asked Hou Pingliang.
"Brother Ninth asked for leave, saying he was not feeling well and went for acupuncture," Hou Pingliang said.
"Go and call Haozi."
"yes!"
"Brother Fan, you are looking for me." Li Hao came in, casually hung his police hat on the coat hook, and sat down on the sofa.
"Yamazaki Shuichi is dead." Cheng Qianfan said.
Li Hao nodded, but showed a surprised expression. Of course he knew that Yamazaki Shuichi was dead, and it was Taozi who led Li Tongyun.
"You quietly let out the news." Cheng Qianfan tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Just say that I have an affair with Yamazaki Shuichi's mistress, Asuka Iijima."
"Ah?" Haozi raised his head in shock.
"Ah what?" Cheng Qianfan glared at Haozi, "Just say that Yamazaki Shuichi knew about my affair with Iijima Asuka, and then I found someone to kill Yamazaki Shuichi."
"Brother Fan, how can you throw dirty water on yourself like this, and..." Li Hao was surprised.
"And what?"
"And if this news is released, everyone might really believe it," Li Hao said.
Given Brother Fan's reputation of being greedy and lustful, maybe some people really believe this news. Maybe everyone will sigh with emotion, "Mr. Xiao Cheng" even steals Japanese women, he is so smart.
"Get out!" Cheng Qianfan glared at Haozi, "If you are asked to do it, do it quickly."
"I know." Haozi chuckled, "Brother Fan, when you get home, be careful of your sister-in-law showing off her power."
"Am I afraid of her?" Cheng Qianfan snorted coldly.
Hao Zi smiled and said nothing.
"Get out of here." Cheng Qianfan grabbed the cigarette case on his desk and threw it at him.
"Brother Xie Fan." Haozi quickly reached out to catch it and ran away as if running away.
…
"Do you think Yamazaki Shuichi's death has something to do with Miyazaki Kentaro?" Mimotojiro asked in a deep voice.
Araki Harima frowned, looking like he was having a hard time thinking, and then Hirai Shinji spoke first.
"Kentaro Miyazaki took people to see Shuichi Yamazaki. Not long after he left, Shuichi Yamazaki was killed." Shinji Hirai said, "Not to mention anything else, even from the perspective of ordinary criminal cases, Miyazaki Kentaro is also suspected."
Araki Harima's frown deepened, and he looked at Shinji Hirai with an unkind expression, "Motive, you doubt Miyazaki-kun. So, Hirai-kun, what was Miyazaki-kun's motive for killing Yamazaki Shuichi?"
"The motive needs to be investigated." Shinji Hirai said, "In any case, Kentaro Miyazaki was probably the last person Yamazaki Osamu saw before his life. It is necessary to investigate, even if it was finally confirmed that Kentaro Miyazaki and Yamazaki Shuichi's death has nothing to do with it, and it just proves his innocence."
"Hirai-kun!" Araki Harima snorted coldly, "The last person Shuichi Yamazaki saw was the murderer. According to the confession asked by the military police, when Miyazaki-kun left, Yamazaki Shuichi was still alive."
With that said, Araki Harima looked at Sanbonjiro, "Section Chief, I think this matter has nothing to do with Miyazaki-kun. He had no motive to kill Yamazaki Shuichi."
"There is a motive." Sanbonjiro said with a gloomy expression.
Araki Harima immediately showed a surprised and puzzled expression. Just as he was about to ask, he saw Sanbonjiro wave his hand, "Okay, Hirai, I'll leave this matter to you to investigate."
"Hai!" Shinji Hirai was overjoyed and quickly agreed.
…
Seeing the joy on Hirai Shinji's face, Araki Harima couldn't help but cursed angrily, "Hirai Shinji, I don't understand. Do you really want Yamazaki Shuichi's death to be related to our special high school class to be happy?
?Last time you..."
"Shut up!" Sanbonjiro snorted coldly.
Araki Harima was very angry. Although he knew that Sanbonjiro scolded him to prevent him from mentioning the murder of Fushimi Miya Shunsuke again, but being scolded by Sanbonjiro in this way, the resentment in his heart only grew.
"Why did Kakinuma Yushio appear outside Yamazaki Shuichi's house?" Mimotojiro asked Araki Harima with a serious expression.
"I don't know exactly." Araki Harima shook his head and said.
"As far as I know, Yushio Kakinuma is Captain Araki's most trusted subordinate and your right-hand man." Shinji Hirai said, "Now it seems that this statement is untrue. Is it because he is lax in his duties or is he just mediocre?"
…”
Araki Harima gave Hirai Shinji a cold look and was not prepared to pay any attention to this person.
"What has Yushio Kakinuma been doing recently?" Mimotojiro asked.
"Yesterday Kakinuma Yushio reported his work to me. He said that he had found some clues about the Red Party's New Fourth Army." Araki Harima said, "I ordered him to continue the investigation."
He looked at Sanbonjiro, "What the section chief means is that Kakinuma Yushio's appearance in Nishi Jiraiki Street is related to the New Fourth Army clues he is pursuing?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Sanbonjiro nodded, "The appearance of Kakinuma Yushio in Nishi Jiraiki Street may be related to the New Fourth Army clues he was pursuing. However, he was killed outside Yamazaki Shuichi's door.
Maybe he just wasn't lucky enough."
"What the section chief means is that Kakinuma Yoshio happened to see someone doing harm to Yamazaki Shuichi in Nishi Jiraiki Street, and he was about to rescue him, but he was poisoned by the gangster?" Araki Harima thought.
"So I say that this possibility cannot be ruled out." Sanbonjiro glanced at Araki Harima, "You should personally investigate the matter of Kakinuma Yushio."
"Hai."
"Section Chief, considering that the death of Kakinuma Yushio and the murder of Yamazaki Shuichi are directly related." Shinji Hirai suddenly said, "I would like to ask the Section Chief to approve something."
"What's the matter?" Sanbonjiro asked.
"If there is any progress on Captain Araki's side, you must report it to me immediately." Shinji Hirai said, looking at Harima Araki as he spoke.
"Reporting to you? What position do you hold? What is your military rank?" Araki Harima's face was ashen, and he looked at Hirai Shinji with cold eyes.
"Captain Araki, don't worry too much." Shinji Hirai said with a smile, "I am also doing this to investigate the case."
