Chapter 5: Unknown (Part 1)
Originally, Miyake Kyoji arranged an assistant for himself as expected by Park Byung-jung, but he never expected that he would be selected from the security bureau because the so-called assistant, to put it bluntly, was the person sent to monitor him.
Park Byung-jung knew very well that he was just a piece of Miyake Kyoji.
Park Byung-jung asked: Are they all Chinese?
Miyake Kyoji said coldly: Pay attention to your words, they are not Chinese, but Manchu.
Park Byung-jung apologized immediately: I'm sorry.
I asked them to come, just like letting you serve as the head of the department. Miyake Kyoji explained that it was to eliminate the outside world's suspicion about the new department and not let the military headquarters misunderstand us.
Park Byung-jung understood that the reason why Miyake Kyoji arranged this way was because he was worried that if the military headquarters investigated and found that the department was full of Japanese, then Miyake Kyoji would be suspected of rebellion. On the surface, it was led by Manchuria and there were no Japanese in the department, so he would not be caught by the military headquarters.
Park Byung-jung nodded and said: I understand.
Miyake Kyoji nodded: Thank you for your hard work, you can go down first and wait for the order.
Yes! Park Byung-jung stood attentively and bowed, then opened the door and left.
After walking out of the conference room, Park Byung-jung looked up and saw Guan Beihe, Li Yunfan and Qian Sinian standing outside the door.
Guan Beihe immediately stepped forward and said: Director Park.
Park Byung-jung didn't say much, just nodded and turned around and left.
After Park Byung-jung walked away, Guan Beihe whispered: Why is a Korean so arrogant? He really treats himself as a Japanese.
Li Yunfan asked: Director, who was Director Park just now?
Guan Beihe said: The transfer from the Governor General of North Korea has not been clearly appointed now, but he has just taken the post of director of the General Affairs Office of the General Security Bureau.
Qian Sinian said on the side: Director of the General Affairs Office? That's the same level as us. Why did you nod and bow to him?
Guan Beihe called the two of them aside: What do you know? Park Byung-jung is a popular person in front of General Miyake and Colonel Honjo. He said he was on par with you, but in fact he had greater power than me. To put it bluntly, it was the Japanese who sent us to monitor us.
Li Yunfan and Qian Sinian looked at each other, one shrugged and the other pouted.
In the conference room, Honjoon Shin-yi checked the archives: General, although Park Byung-jung is used by us, he cannot trust him completely after all, and we must install our own people in the secret search class.
Miyake Kyoji smiled coldly: I have already made arrangements, and Qian Sinian is our eyeliner.
My husband Xinyi was puzzled: Isn’t he also a Manchu?
No, he is actually a North Korean like Park Byung-jung. He is currently the head of the Secret War Section of the 8th Section of the Security Bureau. He was secretly transferred from the Foreign Affairs Department of the Governor's Office of the North Korean Governor's Office many years ago. Miyake Kyoji looked at Honjo Shin-yidao. In Manchuria, there were very few people who knew his identity. This is why I wanted to arrange him to the Secret Search Section. Moreover, he is indeed an excellent agent. When he was in the Governor's Office of the North Korean Governor's Office, he had infiltrated the North Korean Boxer Regiment. He was very loyal and had rich experience in infiltration and surveillance.
My husband Xinyi asked again: What about Li Yunfan?
Miyake Kyoji said: Let him in first, and then you will know.
Ben Zhuang Xinyi nodded, got up and opened the door of the conference room, looked at the three people standing at attention outside the door and said, "Chief Li Yunfan, please come in."
Li Yunfan immediately walked into the conference room and the door closed again. Guan Beihe and Qian Sinian outside the door didn't know what was going on, so they had to stand there and continue waiting.
Li Yunfan walked into the conference room, stood attentively and bowed: General Miyake, Colonel Honjo.
Miyake Kyoji raised his hand and said: Please sit down.
Li Yunfan sat down and sat straight.
Kyoji Miyake opened his file: I have read your file, it is very excellent.
Li Yunfan said: General Miyake has been awarded too much!
You were born in a traditional Chinese family, Kyoji Miyake said this on purpose, just as he expected, halfway through Li Yunfan immediately interrupted him.
Li Yunfan said: General, please forgive me for taking the blame. I am a Manchu!
Miyake Kyoji was very satisfied with Li Yunfan's answer and nodded and continued: You are from a martial arts family, with a wealthy family, and you are both in the antique business. I heard that your father is also a very famous explorer in Manchuria.
Li Yunfan replied: The explorer cannot be said to be, but my father cannot rest and likes strange things and objects.
Miyake Kyoji nodded and looked at Li Yunfan: So, Section Chief Li, are you interested in those strange things and objects?
Li Yunfan hesitated and asked back: I don’t know what the strange thing General Miyake said refers to?
Miyake Kyoji said: Mysterious events, unexplainable things, and so on.
Li Yunfan replied: Generals, people are curious, but curiosity also represents danger.
Miyake Kyoji nodded and said: Are you willing to take risks for the sake of the Great Japanese Empire, for Manchukuo, and for the prosperity of East Asia?
Li Yunfan felt a little sad. He didn't know what Miyake Kyoji meant, but he immediately stood up and said: I do!
Miyake Kyoshi glanced at Honjo Nobuyoshi, and Honjo Nobuyoshi probably understood why he chose Li Yunfan, not only because he was excellent, but also because of his family background.
Kyoji Miyake finally started to get to the topic: From tomorrow, you will no longer serve as the head of the Investigation Section of the Security Bureau, be transferred to Secret Search Course and become the assistant of Director Park Byung-jung.
Li Yunfan was puzzled: This
My husband Xinyi said: Your salary will be increased by one level, and your authority remains unchanged, and you can still enjoy the previous treatment.
Li Yunfan said: Yes, but I don’t understand what Secret Search Class does.
Miyake Kyoji said simply: I have said before that the secret search class is responsible for investigating all mysterious events in Manchuria. We are also planning to hire your father to become the special consultant of the secret search class.
Hon Zhuang Xinyi asked: Do you have any questions?
Li Yunfan said: My subordinates don’t understand what the so-called mysterious incident refers to?
Miyake Kyoji nodded to Honjo Nobuyi. Honjo Nobuyi took another file and handed it to Li Yunfan: Section Chief Li, sit down and take a look at this file.
Li Yunfan took it with both hands and sat down and looked carefully.
Benzhuang Xinyi looked at Li Yunfan and said: A few days ago, the Harbin Special City Police Department received a report that a snake was found in an izakaya in the old expatriate area.
Snake? Li Yunfan was very surprised, but he also saw photos of the snakes in the archives at this time. Snakes have long been hibernating this season, so how could they be?
Honjo Nobuyi said: It took us a lot of time to clean up the snakes in the izakaya. These snakes are all black and often appear in summer. The locals in Manchuria call them black insects, but they will not actively attack people.
This snake is called a black insect. Experts in the empire believe that it is a rare snake, which is very rare even in Manchuria. Looking at the files in Li Yunfan's hands, even the locals in Harbin Special City had never seen so many black insects appear at the same time.
Li Yunfan looked at the file: The file said that the snake came out of the kitchen of the izakaya. After digging the kitchen counter, he found that there was an extremely smelly cave underneath.
Benzhuang Xinyi continued: The temperature of the cave is nearly twenty degrees higher than that outside, which is very strange, because we have surveyed that the deepest permafrost in Harbin City can reach twenty centimeters underground in winter. Even if we continue to dig down, the temperature of the cave is far from reaching the temperature that allows snakes to wake up in winter.
Li Yunfan looked at the records on the archives: Has the military sent someone down?
Ben Zhuang Xinyi said: Yes, we sent five groups of elite soldiers into the cave to investigate, but they all went there but never returned. Even the rope tied to them was broken. Judging from the cracks in the rope, it was bitten by some kind of beast.
Li Yunfan's eyes moved away from the file, looked up at Miyake Kyoji and said: In other words, we still don't know what is inside the cave?
But Kyoji Miyake asked Li Yunfan another question: Section Chief Li, there has been a saying in the history of this world. The ancients believed that there was more than one world on the land where we live.
Li Yunfan nodded silently.
Miyake Kyoji said again: Germany has organized similar departments, with much more funds and personnel than us, and I heard that it has achieved considerable achievements. Although we are allies, Germany is unwilling to share the achievements they have achieved in this regard.
Li Yunfan nodded: I understand what General Miyake means. You hope that the new department will operate as soon as possible and start investigating these unknown events.
Miyake Kyoji said: That's right, it's true. Now there is only Director Park in the new department, you and Qian Sinian. As for other personnel, you can be screened and recruited by you, but it must be approved by me and Colonel Honjo.
Li Yunfan stood upright and said: Yes!
Hon Zhuang Nobuyi nodded and said: You can go out now.
After Li Yunfan opened the door and left, Motojo Nobuyi looked at Miyake Kyoji and said: General, your purpose is actually his father.
Miyake Kyoji said: Yes, his father is a strange man from Manchuria and he also knows many people like him, and these people are important forces in forming new departments.
Xinyi of this Zhuang is still very worried: However, in this way, the secret search class will be mixed and inconvenient to manage.
Miyake Kyoji said coldly: That's why I arranged for them to recruit members and then conduct an actual screening action. Only those who have been screened can remain become official members of Secret Search Course!
Hon Zhuang Xinyi asked: Screening action?
Miyake Kyoji pointed to the file he had shown to Li Yunfan before: This is it.
Ben Zhuang Xinyi nodded: I understand. After they recruit members, I will immediately start making arrangements.
Outside the conference room, Guan Beihe and Qian Sinian were surrounding Li Yunfan for questions, and the door opened again. Honjo Shinyi stood there and said: Section Chief Qian, General Miyake is invited, Director Guan, you have nothing to do, you can go back.
Guan Beihe was stunned: Ah? What does it mean?
My husband Xinyi didn't explain, but just asked Qian Sinian to enter the conference room and then closed the door heavily.
Guan Beihe looked at the closed door and looked at Li Yunfan again:
Li Yunfan just smiled bitterly: Director, let’s go, I’ll treat you to a drink.
Guan Beihe left Li Yunfan in a low voice.
When he walked to the corner, Li Yunfan stopped slightly and looked towards the conference room.
Secret search class? What exactly do the Japanese want to do?
Chapter completed!
