Sometimes, Cheng Qianfan feels that for people like them, the last thing they want to encounter is not not seeing through the other party's conspiracy, nor falling into a trap.
If he really fell into the trap and was caught, his skills are inferior to others. Since he has already put life and death aside, he has already prepared to become a Chinese soul in the next life.
Relatively speaking, the last thing you want to encounter is the current situation:
His intuition told him that something was wrong, but he couldn't find what was wrong.
This will disrupt and restrict his thinking and actions.
The more cautious an agent is, the more uncomfortable this feeling becomes.
He always felt that this matter was strange, but he didn't see it through. This was another reason why he didn't rush to report the matter to the Chongqing Bureau headquarters.
The cigarettes placed on the ashtray were slowly burning, and the smell of burning tobacco began to permeate the air.
Cheng Qianfan also began to review and think about the whole thing in his mind.
First of all, is there a Nigelhorn?
Secondly, is there such a person as Ren Anning?
Thirdly, is Ren Anning Horn's favorite disciple?
Cheng Qianfan speculated that it was probably true.
Although he is far across the ocean, according to the situation reflected in the files, a famous professor at Cornell University and a proud disciple of a mathematician is not an unknown person. He wants to confirm from the side whether there is such a person.
, is not a difficult matter.
Not to mention that there should be someone active in the military in the United States, but given the relationship between the Kuomintang and Hongmen Zhi Gong Tang, it is not difficult to inquire about an outstanding international student from an Ivy League university in the United States.
There is no need for the Japanese to lie about something that only requires a side investigation to tell the truth from the lie.
Therefore, Dr. Nigel Horn, an American cryptographer, professor at Cornell University, and mathematician, and Ren Anning, his most popular disciple and an international student in Tsinghua University’s preparatory class for studying in the United States, are all real.
So, Ren Anning left Cornell University and chose to return to the war-torn motherland, serve the country with the knowledge and abilities he learned, and devote himself to the vigorous anti-Japanese work. Is this a Japanese fabrication? Or is it true?
Cheng Qianfan glanced at the extinguished cigarette in the ashtray. He took out another cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it. This time he did not put the cigarette in the ashtray, but took two puffs slowly.
He thinks there are two possibilities.
First, as the information provided by Sanbonjiro shows, Ren Anning returned to China secretly to serve the motherland.
Another possibility is that Ren Anning disappeared, or something happened, or he disappeared from the world and cannot be found.
Both possibilities have one thing in common:
Ren Anning is not in the United States, or he cannot be found in the United States.
If Ren Anning did return from the United States, it goes without saying. If this is not the case, no matter what the reason is that Ren Anning disappeared in the United States, with his careful understanding of the Japanese people's doing things and their thorough understanding of their habits, if
If the military commander sends someone to investigate, the city of Ithaca or Cornell University will definitely be able to find 'evidence' that Ren Anning has indeed returned to China.
Cheng Qianfan held the cigarette between his index and middle fingers and pressed his temple with his thumb.
Because he often overuses his brain, he suffers from migraines.
Now, new problems arise.
It’s true that Dr. Nigel Horne is true, it’s true that Ren Anning is Dr. Horn’s beloved disciple, it’s true that Ren Anning left Cornell University and chose to return to China to fight against Japan, then——
Is the Ithaca Evening News report about an interview with Dr. Nigelhorn true?
It seems like this should be true.
However, the possibility of fraud cannot be ruled out.
Cheng Qianfan flicked the ashes of his cigarette. The key to this matter is that regardless of whether the enemy wants to use this matter to have any conspiracy, if you want to find out whether there is an objective problem with this matter, the most direct way to identify it is to contact Nig.
Dr. Alhorn himself verified the authenticity of the interview.
Then, continuing to think along this line of thinking, Cheng Qianfan frowned, and he suddenly realized a very real problem:
If this matter itself has the nature of conspiracy, the situations he is considering now seem to have been expected by the Japanese!
If Dr. Nigelhorn's identity as an expert consultant on the "U.S. Secret Chamber" is true, it means that Washington will have protective measures for this person. Any attempt to directly contact this person is dangerous, and considering the diplomatic
Due to the complexity of the level, the act of Chinese secret services coming into contact with American cryptography experts in the United States is prohibited.
According to this logic, military commanders stationed in the United States may also ask for help from other forces such as the Hongmen Zhi Gong Party to secretly inquire about the behavior of Dr. Nigelhorn and his proud disciples in the United States. To some extent, it is also easy to attract the attention of the United States.
The concern and vigilance of official violence agencies.
Under the U.S. neutrality policy, once our personnel are exposed, the outcome will probably not be too optimistic.
Cheng Qianfan put out his cigarette butt and frowned, realizing that this seemed to be an unsolvable proposition.
A report from the United States.
It seems very simple and straightforward, but in fact it can be described as complicated and confusing.
…
"The Japanese's calculations on such details are horrifying to think about." Lao Huang handed the chopsticks to Cheng Qianfan and poured some sweet and sour food into the plate.
Lao Huang, who could not live up to anything other than wine, cigarettes and delicious food, suddenly got up and made fried pancakes by himself in the morning and invited Mr. Xiao Cheng to taste them.
Attracted by the aroma of fried food in the air, Cheng Qianfan naturally agreed happily.
This is also the strategy of 'communication' between the two. Lao Huang always prepares some delicious food, drinks, and even some secret recipes that can nourish the kidneys. In short, he invites Cheng Qianfan to the medical room from time to time to 'have a drink or two.'
.
In this way, everyone in the patrol room has long been accustomed to Lao Huang's fawning over "Vice President Cheng" and the good relationship and interactions between the two people.
"Based on your analysis, I also have an intuition that the Japanese have a conspiracy." Lao Huang said with a calm expression but a very serious tone, "This style of behavior and this delicate design, everything seems so natural.
.”
He even suspected that he was rescued by the Mitsui Mansion at the execution ground in Nanjing. In fact, the Mitsui Mansion fell into a trap of the Chinese. From that moment on, the people from the Secret Service made a step-by-step plan to use him to get rid of Kage Saeiichi.
plan of.
The more I think about it, the more terrifying I feel.
Therefore, in Eguchi Hideya's heart, he never dared to underestimate his opponents, because only those who have experienced it can better understand what a vast country with a long history they are facing, and what opponents they are facing with numerous talents!
…
"However, I still have to thank Eguchi-kun for this." Chikitaharaji said with a smile, "The candidate you recommended is very suitable."
Suzuki Keita, who pretended to be Ren Anning, was recommended by Eguchi Eiya, who was a middle school classmate of Eguchi Eiya's.
After Eguchi Hideya saw Ren Anning's photo, he felt that his appearance was quite similar to his old classmate, so he recommended him to Chikitaharaji.
Therefore, Keita Suzuki, who was originally serving in the Imperial Army in Hangzhou, was seconded to continue the "Sturgeon Project".
"The only shortcoming now is that although Keita's academic performance was quite good at the beginning, he is still far from being an outstanding mathematician and a cryptography expert." Eguchi Hideya said thoughtfully.
"This is not a problem." Chikitaharaji chuckled and shook his head, "What we need is a warrior who is willing to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. We do so much work just to create opportunities for the warriors to take action."
Eguchi Hide also heard the words and nodded slightly.
He provided his old classmate with such a rare opportunity to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, an opportunity to enter Kudanbei. Suzuki Keita should be very grateful to him.
…
The warrior that Chikitaharaji calls him is in distress at this moment.
He put down the mathematics paper in his hand, rubbed his brows and temples with a grimace.
Suzuki Keita was excited and proud to be selected by the military to carry out such a highly confidential latent plan.
However, he also has his own troubles.
He wants to pretend to be a mathematical genius and a cryptography expert, which requires real skills.
Keita Suzuki was a top student when he was in school. However, he has graduated and has served in the military for many years. Naturally, his current knowledge reserve is far different from when he was in school, and he is even further away from successfully playing a mathematical genius.
Therefore, during this period of time, Keita Suzuki has been studying the mathematics papers that Director Qianbei found for him. These are said to be the papers written by Ren Anning when he was at Mizuki University.
Suzuki Keita, who had always been proud of his excellent academic performance, was now severely affected.
He had to admit that he was far from a mathematical genius.
This made his confidence somewhat shaken as to whether he could successfully disguise himself as Ren Anning and whether he could successfully lurk in Chongqing, and he began to feel a little worried.
This kind of wavering and worry also made Keita Suzuki blame herself internally.
His old classmate Eguchi Hide also fought for the opportunity for him to make meritorious deeds. How could he be easily discouraged?
Thinking of Eguchi Hideya, Suzuki Keita was filled with emotion.
When he was in middle school, he often bullied Eguchi Hideya with his cousin at the flour mill. Unexpectedly, Eguchi Hideya not only did not hold grudges, but also thought of him when he had such an important job and such an opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
Just thinking about an ace spy who had infiltrated Chongqing, even the most important telecommunications department of the military, made Keita Suzuki get goosebumps with excitement.
Thinking of this, Suzuki Keita picked up the paper, paper and pen to calculate, and he vowed to overcome the difficulties, just like the invincible locust army of the Japanese Empire constantly attacking Chinese cities!
…
Two days later.
Xue Huali Road.
The horn sounded, and three cars sped up and down the road.
Pedestrians along the way gave way.
Miaopu heard the noise behind her, turned around and saw the vehicle honking its horn but not slowing down. She was startled and quickly avoided it.
Three cars passed by her and drove away without stopping.
There was a look of disgust on her face.
Just when she turned around to look, she recognized the two cars. The one in the front was Cheng Qianfan's bodyguard vehicle, the one in the middle should be Cheng Qianfan's own car, and the car in the back also belonged to 'Mr. Xiao Cheng'
Bodyguard vehicles.
Sure enough, he has done all the bad things and is afraid of death!
Miaopu tightened her headscarf, lowered her head, and walked with her hands folded.
After her son Xiaoke disappeared, the wrinkles on her face increased significantly. Now she doesn't need much makeup to dress up like a country woman.
The gate of No. 22 Xue Huali Road was already crowded with reporters.
Just yesterday, the gangster Jiang Mule robbed a gold shop in the central area of the French Concession, and had a shootout with police officers on the way to escape. Two police officers were injured, and many passers-by were also injured. The Jiang Mule gang took advantage of the chaos and looted
The jewelry and gold items that came in successfully escaped.
This major case shocked the entire Shanghai beach.
It can be said that public opinion was in an uproar.
…
On the second floor of a residential house diagonally across from the central patrol house, Chikitaharaji held telescopes in both hands and stared at the movement at the door of the central patrol house.
"This ginger mule gang is suddenly causing trouble at this time." Nobuzawa Kojima said from behind Chikitaharaji, "My subordinates are worried that this will affect our plan."
Zheng Weilong, who was far away in Chongqing, called Shu Daming back and asked Cheng Qianfan to help find out about Ren Anning's whereabouts and provide secret help.
‘Cheng Qianfan’ then reported the matter to Sanbonjiro.
Therefore, Chikitaharaji has full control over every move of the 'Zorgen' and the 'Straw Hat'.
Chikitahara could not help but laugh when he thought that the dignified head of the Secretariat of the Military Command Headquarters not only trusted him, but even gave an Imperial Japanese agent the code name "Zheergen".
Chikitaharaji understood what his men were worried about.
Jiang Mulezi, a criminal thief, suddenly committed such a major crime in the downtown area. The impact of this incident was extremely bad. As the deputy chief inspector of the patrol room in the Central District of the French Concession, and also the real talker in the Central District of the French Concession, Cheng Qianfan was under great pressure.
Small, this will inevitably involve Cheng Qianfan's energy and manpower, and will not be conducive to Cheng Qianfan's "help" Chongqing to find Ren Anning's whereabouts.
"It doesn't matter." Qianbei Yuanji shook his head, "Our people are also looking for Ren Anning anyway. We will just inform this 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' when the time comes."
…
The main entrance of the Central Patrol Room.
A car in front stopped at the gate and turned off the engine.
The vehicle in the middle also stopped, but did not turn off its engine.
The vehicle behind stopped and did not turn off the engine.
The door of a car in front opened and four bodyguards got out.
The four men, all wearing suits and leather shoes with expressionless faces, commanded the patrol sentry to 'disperse' the reporters into the yard, clearing obstacles for the vehicles waiting to enter the yard.
The reporters looked unkind and complained and protested. However, facing the fierce bodyguards, they could only keep retreating into the courtyard.
After the 'obstacle' was cleared, the two cars that were still on drove into the yard.
The four previous bodyguards left the yard and patrolled the door vigilantly.
Hou Pingliang got out of the cab of the car behind him, and with him came four bodyguards in suits and leather shoes.
At the steps in the courtyard, Liang Yuchun, Lu Jiufan, Li Hao, Zhong Guohao and others, all dressed in crisp patrol uniforms, came to greet them.
Hou Pingliang opened the door and Cheng Qianfan slowly got out of the car.
Wearing a handsome senior police officer's uniform, the majestic appearance of 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' is fully displayed.
Seeing Vice President Cheng get out of the car and straightening his police hat, reporters immediately swarmed over and flashed their lights.
Some well-built reporters even squeezed through the "protection circle" composed of police officers and bodyguards in suits from the patrol room, and were about to rush to Cheng Qianfan.
Hou Pingliang, Zhong Guohao, and Li Hao hurriedly controlled the situation to prevent reporters from attacking Brother Fan.
"Vice President Cheng, Mr. Tande is already waiting in the conference room." Liang Yuchun offered his hands to shake hands with Cheng Qianfan and said in a low voice.
"When did you arrive?" Cheng Qianfan walked slowly and nodded to the reporters with a smile, and asked in a low voice.
"Five minutes ago." Liang Yuchun looked at the time on his watch and said.
…
"Vice President Cheng, as the deputy chief inspector of the Central Patrol Office, what do you have to say to the general public about the gangster Jiang Mule who has been wreaking havoc in Shanghai for many years?"
Reporters chased Mr. Cheng to ask questions, and the flashbulbs flashed.
"The French Open is wide open and there are no leaks." Cheng Qianfan replied.
"Vice President Cheng, the citizens are tired of hearing this kind of talk. They want to see action and gains."
"You'll see." Cheng Qianfan replied.
"Is there any specific action plan?"
"This matter is confidential, no comment."
"Vice President Cheng, is it really because of confidentiality reasons that you can't comment, or is there really nothing you can do?" A woman's voice sounded sharply, "Do you want to see our front page tomorrow showing Vice President Cheng being helpless in the face of Jiangyang's thieves?
"
The bodyguards stayed in the yard, and Cheng Qianfan, protected by many of his men, finally stepped onto the steps of the arresting hall. His footsteps stopped, he turned around, and his calm and imposing gaze swept across the crowd.
The reputation of "Mr. Xiao Cheng" was not in vain. Many reporters subconsciously stopped chasing and encircling him.
Cheng Qianfan's eyes locked on a little girl with neat bangs.
"News reporting is your freedom, and the patrol will defend your right to speak to the death." Cheng Qianfan smiled slightly, "It's up to you, young lady."
With that said, he turned his head and went straight into the arresting hall.
"Brother Fan!"
"Brother Fan!"
"Brother Fan!"
The reporters were blocked outside, and all they could see were the police officers in the arresting hall standing up one after another, saluting respectfully, and calling them "Brother Fan" repeatedly.
Cheng Qianfan's back disappeared from the stairs, and a voice came from a distance, "Haozi, please invite a journalist friend to tea."
At the far end, Qian Kitaharaji put down the telescope, his face was a little gloomy, and he snorted heavily.
He didn't like the ostentation of 'Mr. Xiao Cheng'.
…
"What's going on with these reporters?" Returning to the deputy chief inspector's office, Cheng Qianfan asked coldly with a gloomy face that seemed to be dripping.
"I heard about it." Li Hao hurriedly came in to report, "I just found out from a reporter that someone said that Brother Fan is going to hold a press conference in the patrol room to respond to the Jiang Mule's robbery of Jinpu."
"Fart!" Cheng Qianfan yelled angrily, "When am I going to hold a press conference?"
"Brother Fan, I'll check." Lu Jiufan said. Seeing Cheng Qianfan nodding, he hurriedly left.
"Little monkey, you go too." Cheng Qianfan nuzzled at Hou Pingliang, "There is someone behind this."
"yes!"
…
Li Hao walked over and closed the door.
"Brother Fan, what should we do next?" he asked.
"Wait!" Cheng Qianfan came to the window sill and picked up a corner of the curtain. You could see that there were still reporters below who had not dispersed.
He was waiting for the response from the special high school class, or to be precise, the response from Sanbonjiro.
'Mr. Xiao Cheng' was so troubled by the Jiang Mulezi case that he probably had no time to take care of him.
In this case, he wanted to see if and when Sanbonjiro would look for him.
He had some vague guesses, and now he needed to verify them covertly and carefully.
