Chapter 1168 Secret

 Cheng Qianfan's brows frowned slightly.

Just now, he had intended to inquire about Wang Qianhai's situation from Toshihiko Okada.

Although Cheng Qianfan still has not fully understood the specific operations of the Mei Agency, Okada Toshihiko said before that the Mei Agency "is a secret service agency established by the empire to handle and guide all matters related to Wang Reclamation."

Obviously, Mei Guan is like an emperor-like existence above Wang's head.

Therefore, others may not know whether Wang Chuanhai was injured in the assassination incident and the extent of his injuries. It is impossible for the Mei Agency not to know the inside story.

However, Cheng Qianfan thought again and again and chose to give up 'inquiring'.

Is Kentaro Miyazaki concerned about Wang Qianhai’s physical condition?

Is there a problem with this?

Maybe there is no problem. After all, after experiencing such an assassination, it seems reasonable for Kentaro Miyazaki, as a person involved, to casually care about Wang Qianhai's situation.

Or maybe there is a problem.

Why is there a problem?

This is exactly what Toshihiko Okada thought:

Why are you so concerned about Wang Kehai's situation?

Once this doubt arises, it will be more troublesome.

As a latent agent, one of the most basic principles is that when it may not cause trouble or may cause trouble, treat it as "it will definitely cause trouble".

Cheng Qianfan also considered mentioning Liu Xia's talk about Wang Qianhai's visit to a Chinese medicine doctor without any trace when reporting work to Toshihiko Okada, so as to guide Toshihiko Okada to continue the topic.

However, he still decisively gave up this plan.

The reason is generally the same as the former.

Now, after the assassination incident, Wang Qianhai's physical condition is the most sensitive and highly confidential. Any words that may touch on this may attract unusual attention.

Therefore, Cheng Qianfan cautiously gave up his plan to learn about Wang's reclamation situation from Okada Toshihiko.

At present, the safest thing is for him to inquire about this matter secretly.



This is Helmet Lane.

It was originally the site of Jinling Middle School and is now occupied by Japan's Sumitomo Trading Company.

Okada Toshihiko got out of the car and hurried up to the second floor of the original campus office building.

This is an office with the sign "Concubine's Room".

"Office Chief."

As soon as Okada Toshihiko sat down, a subordinate came in and handed him a document.

"Call from Shanghai?" Toshihiko Okada glanced at Nobuzawa Koizumi, and when he saw Koizumi nodded, he immediately picked up the message and read it.

The telegram was sent from the Shanghai Special Higher Education Institution.

Just in the morning, after the assassination at Minsei Bridge occurred, Toshihiko Okada immediately focused his suspicion on Kentaro Miyazaki after he had a preliminary understanding of the assassination.

Without him, the Stypunk car stole the spotlight in this assassination incident.

Okada Toshihiko carefully considered and analyzed.

First of all, it can be ruled out that Kentaro Miyazaki personally participated in the assassination.

So, if there is really something wrong with Miyazaki, what role did he play in the attack?

The messenger of information!

This is the conclusion reached by Toshihiko Okada after careful analysis.

What information is conveyed?

Considering that the biggest suspicion surrounding Kentaro Miyazaki currently is matters related to Stepunk cars.

Okada Toshihiko was inclined to suspect that if Kentaro Miyazaki really had a problem, the information he transmitted to the outside world should be reporting on the highly directional object "Steepunk" car.

However, the question arises, how can Kentaro Miyazaki be sure that the Stypunk car will join Wang Qianhai’s fleet?

This is an unexplainable link.

For a certain unexplainable link, Okada Toshihiko's usual response strategy is:

Ignore this link for the time being and continue investigating the others.

If other links tend to be problematic after investigation, then regardless of whether the unexplained link forward can be explained now, he will default to the fact that it exists.

For espionage work, if the chain of evidence in other links has been confirmed to a certain extent, then an unexplained link can itself be an explanation.

In this way, the next focus of the investigation is, how did Kentaro Miyazaki pass on the information?

Kentaro Miyazaki once reported to him that he was subject to phone monitoring and whereabouts surveillance by No. 76.

This matter has been confirmed.

Under this situation, everyone and everything Miyazaki Kentaro comes into contact with are under surveillance.

Okada Toshihiko came to a conclusion after careful study:

Kentaro Miyazaki's most likely opportunity to convey information to the outside world was the telegram he sent to his home in Shanghai.

In this way, Toshihiko Okada first sent people directly to the telegraph office to obtain the manuscript of the message sent by Kentaro Miyazaki to his home in Shanghai.

Subsequently, Toshihiko Okada called the Shanghai Special Higher Education Department and asked Sanbonjiro to help obtain the contents of the telegram received by the Cheng family.

He had never doubted that Sanbonjiro had the ability to obtain a private message from his subordinate's home, but he did not expect that the Shanghai Special Higher Education School would return the call so quickly.

This is quite fast.

A smile appeared on Okada Toshihiko's lips and he clicked his tongue. It seemed that Sanbon-kun was not as relieved about his subordinate as he appeared on the surface.

Experience told Toshihiko Okada that there was only one explanation for the prompt response of the Shanghai Special Higher Education School, and that was that they had already mastered the contents of the private message sent from 'Tianjin' to Cheng Mansion.

Okada Toshihiko put down the message in his hand.

He couldn't help but nodded.

The contents of the telegram received by Cheng Mansion were no different from the manuscript of the Nanjing telegram. This telegram was also the same as the telegram that Kentaro Miyazaki had previously submitted to him for review, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Okada Toshihiko studied the message carefully again.

He focused on looking for any words in the telegram that might refer to or allude to 'Steepunk'.

In the end, Toshihiko Okada was convinced that in this telegram, which was more like a love letter than a safety telegram, he did not find any possible suspicious words pointing to 'Steepunk'.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

In addition, during the previous conversation with Kentaro Miyazaki, there was nothing unusual about Kentaro Miyazaki's words or gestures. In this way, Kentaro Miyazaki's suspicion can basically be ruled out.

Okada Toshihiko thought of the conversation he had just had with Miyazaki Kentaro. He thought for a moment and pressed the bell on his desk.

Koizumi Nobuzawa knocked on the door and came in.

"Office Chief."

"I want Wang to fill in the list of entourage." Okada Toshihiko said.

"Director, do you want a list of Wang Chuanhai's visit to Ning, or a list of all personnel?" Koizumi Nobuze asked.

The former is the real members of Wang's team visiting Nanjing, and the latter is a list of all personnel including accompanying escorts and miscellaneous staff.

"List of all personnel." Okada Toshihiko said in a deep voice.

According to Kentaro Miyazaki's reasoning about the "unexpected" direction, the information about Wang Chuanhai in Nanjing and even about Wang Chuanhai in Laohuqiao Prison may have been leaked long ago.

Who leaked this information?

The most likely person is Wang's entourage.

"The focus is on the miscellaneous staff and the list of agents on the 76th." Okada Toshihiko said.

Who leaked the secret?

He tends to be the security personnel of No. 76 and those casual workers. These people move more freely and have the greatest opportunity to contact the outside world and take the opportunity to pass on information.



Confucius Temple, Juxing Pavilion, Yilin Tea House.

When ‘Iron Helmet’ came to the teahouse, it was the time when tea-goers were busy.

‘Going to Confucius Temple to have tea’ is one of the joys of life for Nanjing people.

If you are invited by a friend to have tea at Confucius Temple, it is a very honorable thing.

Tiejei was invited to drink tea from the Confucius Temple.

At this time of year, people who can come to the tea house to drink tea are either those who have free time, or those who are talking about business and making friends.

Sitting on the bench, drinking hot tea, eating snacks, chatting, bragging randomly, or talking about old things, just talking and laughing, it seems that the misery of this subjugated slave has been temporarily forgotten.

There are also those who have a lot of money and can go to the private seats on the second floor.

The tea house leans against the Qinhuai River. It is quite pleasant to sit in the elegant room by the window on the second floor and drink tea while watching the boats coming and going in the Qinhuai River.

‘Iron Helmet’ didn’t have much money, but he was a frequent visitor to the private room on the second floor.

Without him, he is the inquirer in this area, and also acts as a matchmaker and matchmaker.

When he walked into the private room No. 3 on the second floor, he saw Brother Yuan holding a long-mouthed copper kettle in his hand, brewing tea leisurely.

On the long table were placed several small bamboo cylinders containing tea leaves, as well as some preserved melon seeds and peanuts.

"Boss Yuan, Tie Helmet is late and was delayed on the way." Tie Helmet said.

"Brother Iron Helmet is here." Yuan Ziren looked up, nodded, "Sit down."

Tiejui closed the door, sat down, picked up the teacup, and took a sip without feeling his mouth burn at all.

The two of them just drank tea, ate preserved fruits and melon seeds, and chatted casually.

The topic is about the gunshots that occurred at Minsheng Bridge this morning.

"The police station said it was a gangster who kidnapped people." Tiegui spat out the melon seed skin and said, "It doesn't look like it. Which gangster risked his life and came to Nanjing to kidnap people?"

As he spoke, he made a gesture of firing a rifle and lowered his voice and said, "The Japanese are nothing, but the Japanese soldiers' marksmanship is amazing."

"I just hope that this trouble will not hinder business." Yuan Ziren shook his head and said, his voice lowered, "Brother Iron Helmet, is there any way to do this?"

The voices of both of them were lowered, as if they were discussing business and personal matters.

"How are the brothers?" Yuan Ziren asked.

"They're all gone." Tiejui looked painful, "It's said that except for one person who jumped into the river and ran away, everyone else is dead."

"They're all...dead." Yuan Ziren's expression was painful. He rubbed his cheeks with both hands, and then asked expectantly, "Who is the one who jumped into the river? Is it Brother Six?"

"Maybe." Tiegei thought for a while and said, "I just heard that this man was shot when he jumped into the river..."

His voice lowered, as if he didn't want to continue talking.

"Look." Yuan Ziren gritted his teeth and said, "Tell the brothers to look for him. We must find Brother Six."

He looked at Tiejie and said, "You must ask Brother Six in person what is going on!"

"No." Tiejui shook his head, "The Japanese and the appeasement army were searching the streets like crazy, arresting people everywhere."

He said to Yuan Ziren, "Team leader, if you go out on the streets at this time, any strangers in the nearby streets will definitely be arrested and interrogated."

Yuan Ziren frowned and finally sighed, "Then I can only trouble my brother to find out the news."

He stood up, picked up the copper pot and poured tea into Iron Helmet's cup, "You must be more careful."

"Understood." Tiejie nodded.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion, he did not leave immediately. He had tea again, talked and laughed for about half an hour, and then took his leave.



After Tiejui left, Yuan Ziren ate preserved fruit leisurely by himself and took a sip of tea from time to time, which felt very comfortable.

About a quarter of an hour later, someone pushed open the door to the private room.

Yuan Ziren was happily throwing a candied fruit into his mouth. When he saw someone coming in, he immediately stood up and bowed respectfully, "Mr. Mei."

"Sit, don't be restrained." The man smiled gently and gestured for Yuan Ziren to sit down.

"Yes." Yuan Ziren sat down carefully, with an upright posture, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

He was very cautious about this 'Mr. Wei' and did not dare to do anything that would make the other party feel offended.

All this was because he had offended this person unintentionally.

Speaking of which, the reason is actually quite strange.

This is because ‘Mr. Ma’ is actually ‘My Grandson’, and his full name in Japanese is ‘My Grandson Shinta’.

Yuan Ziren heard this name for the first time at that time and was shocked that a Japanese person could have a surname like "my grandson". He once joked, "This is a good surname. I never thought I could be the grandfather of a Japanese person."

Turning around, someone reported this matter to 'my grandson Shen Tai'.

When my grandson Shen Tai learned about this, he was not angry. He was very reasonable. He even went to Yuan Ziren and explained to him the origin of his surname very calmly and politely.

According to my grandson Shinta’s explanation, my grandson’s surname is pronounced あびこ, and there are many theories about its origin.

First, in the "Kojiki", there is a place name "Abigu" with the same pronunciation as "My grandson". With historical changes, people gradually wrote it uniformly as "My grandson".

Second, in ancient times, there was a group of foreign residents from India, who were called "Abina Gugu" in the local dialect, which means "Fire God".

These people lived near Chiba. To express their memory of their ancestors, later generations called the place "Abina Gugu", which later evolved into "my grandson".

My grandson Shinta said that he is inclined to the first theory, because how can the proud people of the Yamato nation be the descendants of despicable Indians?

Yuan Ziren was hung up and whipped with a whip dipped in salt water. At that time, he burst into tears and expressed his agreement with my grandson Shentai's statement, and shouted "Long live Abigu".

Because of these things, Yuan Ziren did not dare to be careless when facing 'Mr.

He maliciously speculated that perhaps because of his surname, which was often ridiculed and discriminated against, 'my grandson' became sensitive and irritable. He was simply a psycho. Neurotics should be taken good care of, and a Japanese psycho master should take good care of him.

"The Minsheng Bridge assassination of Wang Qianhai, why were your people not involved? Why didn't any news come out in advance?" 'Mr. Ma''s tone was calm, but it sounded strangely cold to Yuan Ziren's ears.



"Is there any movement?" Dingmutun asked Tong Xueyong on the other end of the phone.

"Report to the director, no." Tong Xueyong said.

Ding Mutun frowned. It didn't make sense. If Cheng Qianfan really had a problem, he must be anxious to inquire about Mr. Wang's physical condition. How could he not take any action?

"Monitor closely." Dingmutun said.

Putting down the phone, he called his men in, "Er Chun, where is Cheng Qianfan now?"

"Today we are in charge of the Second Hospital." Erchun replied.

Dingmutun was slightly stunned, and then he patted his forehead. He knew what the problem was.

At this moment, Dingmutun, who was always proud of his intelligence, even felt ashamed to see others.
