The bodyguard standing on the side jumped down and looked around alertly.
Hao Zai, who was sitting in the passenger seat, got out of the car, walked around to the left and opened the door.
The right door also opened, Hou Pingliang got out of the car and quickly ran to the left door.
Cheng Qianfan, deputy chief inspector of the Central Police Station, bent down and got out of the car. He whispered something to his confidant Zhong Guohao, and Zhong Guohao nodded repeatedly.
Later, Cheng Qianfan, guarded by his close subordinate Hou Pingliang and two bodyguards, entered the restaurant with a smile on his face from the owner of Chunfeng Deyilou.
"Mr. Cheng, your guest has arrived and is waiting for you in room A and V."
Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly. There was a bodyguard in front of him to clear the way, and a bodyguard in the back to protect him. He climbed up the stairs.
Hou Pingliang stayed down below and held Chunfeng Deyilou's owner to explain.
"Boss Huang, please wait."
"Mr. Cheng, please come quickly, please come quickly."
Araki Harima and Miyazaki Kentaro looked at each other and smiled.
Soon, drinks, side dishes, preserved fruits, snacks, tea, and even juice were served.
Hou Pingliang personally supervised the waiter's departure. He saluted Brother Fan, left on his own, and closed the door.
At the door, Araki Harima's men glanced at Hou Pingliang and snorted. The little monkey glared at him without giving in.
"you--"
"Don't move." The little monkey said coldly, "This is the French Concession."
…
"Mr. Cheng, this subordinate of yours has a lot of personality." Araki Harima stood behind the door and took an overview of the situation outside.
Cheng Qianfan spat out the melon seed skin and clapped his hands, "In the French Concession, I need such subordinates."
Araki Harima nodded, but had no intention of pursuing the matter further. Miyazaki-kun was right. In the French Concession, Miyazaki-kun needed loyal subordinates like Hou Pingliang. As for the rest, it was all trivial matters.
This is a suite. When the two of them go to the inner room, they can avoid the conversation being overheard by outsiders.
"Lu Hu reported that Miyazaki-kun, are you going to take action against Naito Tsubasa?" Araki Harima asked.
"Araki-kun is really good at judging people. Although this Lu Hu was forced to cooperate with the empire at first, his attitude is very positive now." Cheng Qianfan said sarcastically.
Araki Harima didn't pay attention to his friend's cynicism. He knew that Miyazaki-kun didn't really have any grudges, he was just unhappy about the secret development of the special high school course without telling him, and he just complained.
"This just shows that Lu Hu is still relatively loyal to the empire." Araki Harima said, he handed a cigarette to Miyazaki Kentaro, "I reported this matter to the section chief."
"What did the section chief say?" Cheng Qianfan asked immediately.
"The section chief is very curious as to why you suddenly decided to attack Naito." Araki Harima said. Seeing Kentaro Miyazaki about to explain, he smiled and waved his hand, "Miyazaki-kun, don't worry, the section chief didn't say much else."
He picked up the apple on the table and Katcha took a big bite. "Today is a gathering of friends of you and me. The class principal will not interfere."
Cheng Qianfan blew out a stream of smoke from his nose and nodded. He understood what Sanbonjiro meant.
Sanbonjiro's response to this matter was not beyond his expectation. In other words, for Sanbonjiro, pretending not to know anything was indeed the most appropriate choice.
However, Cheng Qianfan knew that he would need to prepare more red wine next time he visited the section chief.
For this three-year course leader, sincerity is the most important thing.
…
"The day before yesterday, I went to visit Counselor Imamura, and the steward Kogoro of Imamura's residence discovered that someone was following me," Cheng Qianfan said.
"Is it related to Naito Tsubasa?" Araki Harima asked immediately, thinking that his friend suddenly decided to take action against Naito Tsubasa, he immediately understood.
"It's from the Inoue Mansion." Cheng Qianfan said, "This person's name is Kojima Shinji. He initially confessed that he was assigned by Yamazaki Shuichi to follow me."
"It's unlikely." Araki Harima immediately shook his head, "Let's not say that Yamazaki Shuichi has no reason to deal with Cheng Qianfan. Yamazaki is currently busy with an important matter, and he has no other skills."
Cheng Qianfan's heart moved, and he immediately captured a piece of information from Araki Harima's unintentional words.
Yamazaki Shuichi is busy with an important matter and has no time to spare!
The affairs that can keep the deputy head of the Inoue Mansion busy personally are definitely not trivial matters.
"I think so too. I have heard about Yamazaki Shuichi. He has no reason to target Cheng Qianfan, who is friendly to the empire and is not easy to mess with." Cheng Qianfan said, "I initially suspected that this was a lie by Kojima Shinji."
After flicking the cigarette ashes, Cheng Qianfan continued, "I suspect that this person's target is Counselor Imamura. The counselor attaches great importance to this possibility and arranged for people to continue interrogating Shinji Kojima."
As he said that, the expression on Cheng Qianfan's face changed, becoming gloomy and cold, and his eyes were also cold, "Just yesterday, I learned from the counselor that Kojima Shinji's real target is indeed me, and he is indeed
The people from the Inoue Mansion, however, were following me on orders from Tsubasa Naito."
Araki Harima nodded.
Sure enough.
Previously, Naito pushed the Military Police Headquarters to test and investigate Miyazaki-kun, which had greatly angered Miyazaki-kun. If counselor Hyotarō Imamura hadn't stopped him, Miyazaki-kun would have launched an act of revenge against Naito Tsubasa.
Old grudges have not been avenged, but new grudges have arisen. How can Mr. Miyazaki not be angry?
"Naito Tsubasa is still holding on to Professor Nagatomo's death? Do you think you should be responsible for this?" Araki Harima asked.
"Shinji Kojima told me that Naito's mission to him was to find out who I was in contact with. He seemed to suspect that I was cooperating with Japanese haters." Cheng Qianfan said, snorting coldly, "Damn idiot."
Araki Harima shook his head.
Sure enough, it's still the case.
From what happened last time, he knew that Naito Tsubasa's suspicion of Miyazaki-kun had crossed the line.
In fact, previous tests by the Military Police Headquarters have confirmed that Miyazaki-kun is innocent and loyal to the empire.
He thought Tsubasa Naito had stopped, but he didn't expect that this person was so wrong that he was still secretly investigating Miyazaki-kun.
"My people followed Tsubasa Naito," Cheng Qianfan said. "Naito set up a monitoring point at the TEDA Apartment on Xujiahui Road to monitor my actions."
"Lu Hu didn't report this..." Araki Harima said with a frown.
Cheng Qianfan sneered.
Araki Harima smiled bitterly, and he also reacted accordingly.
Lu Hu is an investigator of the Special Higher Education Course and has the function of monitoring Miyazaki-kun to a certain extent. Miyazaki-kun naturally knows this, so how can he completely trust Lu Hu?
Therefore, if Lu Hu is arranged to remove Tsubasa Naito, Miyazaki-kun will inevitably conduct another investigation.
"Miyazaki-kun, why did you think of choosing Lu Hu to be responsible for attacking Naito?" Araki Harima asked with a frown.
"I suspect that the one secretly following me this time along with Naito Kotsubo is Umezu Umezu Zuo from the Military Police Headquarters." Cheng Qianfan said almost at the same time as Araki Harima spoke.
"Kun Zuo Shang?" Araki Harima frowned, "Do you have any evidence?"
"Evidence? When do we need evidence for our special higher education courses?" Cheng Qianfan sneered.
"Miyazaki-kun!" Araki Harima frowned and said in a deep voice. He found that Miyazaki-kun's mood was not right. To be precise, it seemed that he was a little excited because of anger.
"There is no evidence." Cheng Qianfan then calmed down his temper and said, "My people found out that Tsubasa Naito had a secret conversation with a man in the TEDA apartment. According to the description of the eyewitness, this man looks a lot like the upper left man."
Araki Harima nodded with a serious expression. Although Miyazaki-kun said that he had no evidence, this was already considered evidence.
Considering that Tsubasa Naito's previous investigation of Miyazaki-kun by the Military Police Headquarters was conducted through Zuokami Umezu, this time Naito Tsubasa's follow-up investigation of Miyazaki-kun does not exclude the participation of Zuokami Umezu.
"Naito must be eliminated." Cheng Qianfan gritted his teeth, his expression was very determined, or rather stern, "I have too many secrets."
Araki Harima took a deep look at his friend and finally nodded.
There are indeed many dark secrets in Miyazaki's body.
Just a random thought in his mind revealed many deadly secrets:
For example, Miyazaki persuaded the section chief to 'borrow' the captured national army guns and ammunition stored in the warehouse and resold them to the third branch of the Taihu water bandits Li Lao San.
Although Li Laosan was quickly recruited by the Imperial Locust Army, the crime of reselling imperial arms could not be washed away.
For example, the goods from Jiujiu Trading can go in and out of various terminals and checkpoints in Shanghai smoothly because there are special high-end courses to greet them.
Moreover, Araki Harima knew that among the goods of Jiujiu Trading there must be contraband, such as cotton cloth, sugar, and even military supplies such as gasoline.
He believed that even the three principals were well aware of this, but everyone was aware of it.
Why? Because only contraband is the most profitable.
The fishermen of the Huangpu River have a saying that the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish. This is the truth.
However, this kind of thing can be done, but it cannot withstand investigation because it cannot be seen in the light!
Thinking of this, Araki Harima understood why White House Saki-kun wanted to attack Naito Tsubasa so decisively.
Naito Tsubasa suspects that Miyazaki-kun is cooperating with Japanese haters. This is nonsense. Miyazaki-kun is naturally not afraid to investigate this. However, Naito's behavior is like a piece of brown sugar. It is conceivable that if the follow-up investigation continues like this
, First of all, Miyazaki-kun's business will be affected, some of the shady things that he will do in the future will not be able to be done, and those shady businesses in the past may also be dug up.
Not to mention that actions such as reselling arms will be punished by military law, but Naito's tracking and surveillance will affect Miyazaki-kun's money——
Tsubasa Naito like this must be eliminated.
Not to mention that Naito had previously pushed the Military Police Headquarters to investigate Miyazaki, which had already made Miyazaki-kun murderous towards Naito.
In addition, Araki Harima suddenly thought of something:
Why did the section chief allow him to meet with Miyazaki-kun to discuss what? To discuss getting rid of Naito.
This in itself is tacit consent.
At first he thought this was the section chief's favor and connivance towards Miyazaki.
Now it seems that the most likely section chief also guessed that Naito continued to pester and investigate Miyazaki. It was obvious that the section chief had thought of this a long time ago. Naito's actions not only touched Miyazaki-kun's pocket, but also
The principal’s pocketbook has been tampered with!
What's more, if the arms reselling case really needs to be investigated, the section chief will bear the greatest responsibility.
Araki Harima Katsa took a bite of the apple. He had to admit that the section chief was indeed very resourceful. He had never thought of this until now. The section chief thought at that time that the section chief was indeed much smarter than him, Araki Harima.
Eh?
Araki Harima suddenly realized that he also had a share of the money for reselling arms.
In fact, he has a stake in Jiujiu Trading and gets a share of the money every month.
so--
Naito Tsubasa's behavior is essentially to make things difficult for him, Araki Harima, and to tamper with his Araki Harima's money bag!
"You are right, Naito has ulterior motives and dares to spy on the secrets of the empire. He must die." Araki Harima let out a breath of turbidity in his nose and nodded heavily.
Cheng Qianfan glanced at Araki Harima in surprise. Araki was able to think of it instantly and accuse Naito Kotsubo of such a crime so appropriately. He was really impressed.
"This itself is not an issue for discussion. Naito must be eliminated." Cheng Qianfan emphasized again, snorted, and once again expressed his hatred for Naito Tsubasa. He looked at Araki Harima, "The question now is, how to get rid of him?"
Naito.”
"How did you think of using Lu Hu to attack Naito?" Araki Harima asked again the question that his friend had not answered just now.
"Does Mr. Araki think there is a more suitable candidate than Lu Hu?" Cheng Qianfan asked without answering.
"Huh?" Araki Harima met Kentaro Miyazaki's gaze, frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought. Suddenly, his frown relaxed.
It seems that Miyazaki-kun is right, there is no more suitable candidate than Lu Hu.
First, the candidate must be controllable.
Secondly, this person cannot have anything to do with the Special Higher Education Course.
Lu Huming's official identity is the third deputy inspector of the Central Patrol House of the French Concession, and he has no connection with the empire.
"Yes, Lu Hu is indeed a suitable candidate." Araki Harima nodded, "Even if Lu Hu is found later, the empire can take the opportunity to put pressure on the French Concession."
However, Araki Harima suddenly thought of——
However, Lu Hu is Cheng Qianfan's subordinate. Once it is found out that Lu Hu did it, it is equivalent to telling others that Cheng Qianfan arranged the matter. Otherwise, Lu Hu has no grievances and no grudges. He is crazy.
Will you take action against imperial diplomats?
Araki Harima confessed his thoughts and worries to his friends.
"You can't use Lu Hu to put pressure on the French Concession." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "That will draw a lot of people's attention to Cheng Qianfan. The patrol room will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. Don't underestimate the local snakes in the patrol room. Once
They are targeting me, which is a huge hidden danger for me to continue pretending to be Cheng Qianfan."
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite. "Besides, Cheng Qianfan, a troublemaker, will not be trusted and appreciated by the French Concession authorities."
Araki Harima thought for a moment and nodded. Miyazaki-kun's words make sense.
After thinking for a moment, Araki Harima's eyes flashed coldly, "Then, after this is over... Lu Hu can't stay."
