"Brother Fan, the person you were following disappeared." Li Hao glanced at the rearview mirror and said to Cheng Qianfan, "It seems that Imamura Mansion has arrested someone."
Cheng Qianfan nodded, Imamura Kogoro's movements were still very fast.
"If it weren't for Brother Fan who wanted to leave Imamura to take action, those bastards would have been feeding the fish in the Huangpu River." Haozi said with a smile.
"It's naturally best to be able to borrow a knife to kill someone," Cheng Qianfan said.
In fact, the skills of the stalker arranged by the Inoue Mansion were only average. Of course, this was also because he knew that someone would secretly monitor and follow him, so he could detect the stalker faster.
Cheng Qianfan suddenly felt something in his heart, and he asked Haozi, "Haozi, if I hadn't told you in advance that you might be monitored and followed, could you have easily discovered those following guys?"
Before Li Hao could speak, Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression, "Answer the question honestly and objectively."
"Yes." Li Hao also thought for a while and said seriously, "The enemy's tracking techniques are not very clever. In fact, some experienced patrol officers in the patrol room will find them as long as they are careful."
"Wrong." Cheng Qianfan said suddenly.
"What's wrong?" Haozi asked in confusion.
"Am I greedy for life and afraid of death?" Cheng Qianfan asked Li Hao.
Li Hao was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "As everyone in Shanghai knows, Brother Fan, you are afraid of death."
"Let's do it!" Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice, "Give me the order to arrest those bastards who dare to follow me."
"But those people have disappeared. They were probably taken away by Imamura Mansion." Li Hao said in confusion, and then his heart suddenly moved, "Yes, Brother Fan, I understand."
"Not bad, the response is very fast, there is progress." Cheng Qianfan glanced at Li Hao in surprise, showing an expression of relief.
Although Haozi is not a very smart person, he is better at being serious about things, listening to his words, and thinking more about things according to his instructions. He has made great progress in the past few years.
…
There was a shrill scream, and the victim fainted.
Eguchi Hide also picked up a snow-white handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose, with a look of disgust on his face.
He hates instruments of torture.
I hate this filthy, burnt-smelling torture chamber.
It seems that since that nightmarish encounter in Hangzhou four years ago, he has had an inexplicable dislike and rejection of the torture chamber.
However, due to his duties, he had to commit himself to the torture room to interrogate suspicious persons.
Eguchi Hide also sighed, hoping that His Majesty the Emperor would understand his difficulty.
"Wake him up." Eguchi Hideya said coldly.
A ladle of cold water was poured directly on the victim, and the fainted victim slowly woke up.
"Answer the question I just asked, who are you?" Eguchi Hideya grabbed the man's hair and asked sternly.
"Bah!" The torturer spat out Eguchi Hideya's face with blood, and even his suit was splattered with blood.
"Asshole!!" Eguchi Hide was also furious. This was his favorite suit, and it was sewn by Yuki Naiko for him.
"Mother-in-law! Continue!" Eguchi Hideya said, giving orders to his men.
The victim raised his eyes and looked at this guy who was obviously a senior officer. He was thinking about the Chinese dialect of "side nunniang".
The subordinates obeyed the order, picked up the whip dipped in salt water, and beat the victim severely. The latter screamed miserably, but never surrendered.
Eguchi Hide couldn't help but frown, realizing that he had encountered a stubborn opponent.
However, a cruel smile soon appeared on his lips.
He hates and rejects the torture chamber, but at the same time, he also enjoys the feeling of using torture instruments to torture people, especially the more stubborn the other party is, the more excited he is.
…
"Have you spoken?" Kogoro Imamura came to the torture room, glanced at the bloody man, and asked with a frown.
"No." Eguchi Hideya shook his head, "This person is very stubborn."
"Is this the only person caught?" Imamura Kogoro asked dissatisfied.
"There were three people on the other side, and the other two knew there was no hope of escape, so they committed suicide with daggers." Eguchi Hideya also said.
"Suicide?" Imamura Kogoro's expression suddenly became extremely solemn.
"Yes, it looks like he is a dead soldier." Eguchi Hideya said.
"We must pry open his mouth." Imamura Kogoro said coldly.
The appearance of the dead man and his stubbornness under such torture made Imamura Kogoro alert. He suddenly realized that maybe this group of people was not necessarily going for Kentaro Miyazaki, but for the Iwai Mansion.
He even came directly to Imamura Hyoutarou.
"Hai." Eguchi Hideya subconsciously said in Japanese.
With these words, the man who was being tortured and screaming suddenly raised his head and looked at Eguchi Hideya with extremely shocked eyes.
"Stop!" Eguchi Hideya immediately keenly caught the opponent's emotional changes and stopped his men.
"Who are you?" the man asked with difficulty in a hoarse voice.
"Your Excellency has been tortured for so long and has never answered my questions. You actually asked me back?" Eguchi Hideya said with a cold snort.
"Are you Japanese?" the man asked again.
Kogoro Imamura glared at Eguchi Hideya fiercely, and he immediately understood that it was Eguchi Hideya's subconscious phrase "Hai" just now, which made the other party keenly grasp the identity issue of Eguchi Hideya.
The action team led by Eguchi Hideya is one of the two action teams under the Iwai Mansion. The order given by Hyōtaro Imamura to this team is to act as a Chinese at all times. This can paralyze and
Confuse the enemy.
…
Eguchi Hide also looked embarrassed. He just subconsciously replied "Hai". This was the reverence for his superior that was engraved in his bones.
Seeing Imamura Kogoro nodding solemnly, Eguchi Hideya breathed a sigh of relief. He said to the man, "You secretly spied on Imamura's mansion and asked you who we are?"
"Are you from Iwai Mansion?" the man exclaimed.
He originally thought that he was caught by Cheng Qianfan's people, but he didn't expect that the people who rounded them up and tortured him to extract a confession were actually people from the Iwai Mansion and the Empire's own people!
"We are from Iwai Mansion." Eguchi Hideya nodded and said solemnly, "Now it's your turn to answer my question."
"Bag Ya Luo! Why are you arresting us, why are you attacking us?" The man's spirit seemed to have suddenly collapsed.
"Who are you?" Eguchi Hide also changed his face and asked immediately, "Answer me quickly!"
…
Imamura Kogoro had a gloomy face and stared at Kojima Kinjiro, seeming to be thinking about something.
Eguchi Hideya's expression was gloomy, with a hint of weirdness.
He never expected that this man would confess that he was from the Inoue Mansion.
The agent of the Inoue Mansion, Kojima Kinjiro, is the identity this person confessed to.
Eguchi Hide also didn't expect that it would be rare for him to torture himself, and the person he tortured would be his former colleagues.
However, deep down in his heart, Eguchi Hideya felt a faint excitement, which was a strange feeling that could not be explained.
"Why do the people at Inoue Mansion secretly peek into Counselor Imamura's residence?" Kogoro Imamura asked coldly.
"We are not spying on Imamura Residence. I was ordered to lead people to monitor and follow Cheng Qianfan." Kojima Kinjiro smiled bitterly and said, "You are mistaken."
Sure enough, I went for Kentaro Miyazaki.
Suddenly, a strange look appeared on Imamura Kogoro's face, "Didn't I warn you not to monitor and follow Cheng Qianfan anymore?"
"I don't know, I only know that this is the order of the deputy director." Kojima Kinjiro said.
"Yamazaki Shuichi!" Imamura Kogoro snorted coldly, "This guy dares to disobey Inoue Hiko's order?"
He asked Kojima Kinjiro, "You are following Cheng Qianfan, does Inoue Yan know?"
"I only know that this is the order of the deputy director, I don't know anything else," said Kojima Kinjiro.
"Why are you following Cheng Qianfan?" Imamura Kogoro asked again, "Cheng Sang is someone close to the empire and a friend of the empire. I warned you last time."
"I'm just following orders!"
Imamura Kogoro's face was gloomy. He glanced at Kojima Kinjiro and knew that this guy would not explain anything else.
"Who are you, Shinji Kojima?" Kogoro Imamura suddenly asked.
Then he captured the changes in Kojima Kinjiro's expression.
…
"Do you know my brother?" Kojima Kinjiro asked immediately with an excited expression.
Kogoro Imamura looked deeply at Kinjiro Kojima, turned to Eguchi Hideya and said, "Give him a painless death."
Eguchi Hide was also slightly stunned, then nodded.
"Bag Ya Luo! You can't do this! You can't do this!" Kojima Kinjiro shouted hysterically, "I am an imperial agent and one of our own, you can't do this!"
Then he stared at Imamura Kogoro's back as he turned away, and suddenly understood, "It was you, you killed my brother, right?"
Kogoro Imamura suddenly stopped and stared at Kinjiro Kojima fiercely.
Eguchi Hideya picked up the Nanbu pistol on the interrogation table, turned off the safety, and shot Kinjiro Kojima with two shots.
"Eguchi, come with me." Imamura Kogoro glanced at Eguchi Hideya and said calmly.
"Hai!"
…
"More than a year ago, the Inoue Mansion followed and monitored Cheng Qianfan." Kogoro Imamura told Hideya Eguchi, "The counselor was very angry and personally called Inoue Yan and ordered them to stop this unfriendly behavior."
"At that time, we arrested the stalkers, and one of them was an agent of the Inoue Mansion. His name was Shinji Kojima, and I executed him with my own hands," said Kogoro Imamura.
"So, you are very confused about why the Inoue Mansion suddenly followed Cheng Qianfan again." Eguchi Hideya said.
It was also after he joined the Iwai Mansion for a period of time that he gained the trust of Kogoro Imamura, and then he learned that Cheng Qianfan's true identity was actually the imperial agent Kentaro Miyazaki.
Afterwards, through contact with Chikitaharaji and others, I learned more about Kentaro Miyazaki.
Eguchi Hide was also shocked and even more amazed that Miyazaki Kentaro succeeded in impersonating Cheng Qianfan and became famous in the French Concession, becoming a very powerful figure in the French Concession.
In addition, from Chikitaharaji, he learned about Chikitaharaji's suspicions about Miyazaki Kentaro, which also made Eguchi Hideya have a strong interest in Miyazaki Kentaro.
A guy who successfully lurked as a Chinese and did not become a real figure in the French Concession was suspected by the head of the Imperial Secret Service. However, at the same time, this person was also a very admired and valued student of the Counselor of the Imperial Consulate General in Shanghai.
The favored subordinate of the director of the Imperial Shanghai Special Higher Education Course, with such mixed identities, even Eguchi Hide could not understand.
"Kentaro's identity is a secret. The Inoue Mansion has no need to know, nor is it qualified to know." Kogoro Imamura said, frowning, "They probably don't know Cheng Qianfan's true identity."
He looked at Eguchi Hideya and said, "You have worked in Nanjing for a period of time before. I know that you met Chikita Haraji in Nanjing. This person has always been very hostile to Kentaro."
"Yes." Eguchi Hideya nodded, "Chikitaharaji seems to have been affected by some people and events, and has some different views on Miyazaki-kun."
As he spoke, he frowned and asked, "So, you suspect that Chikitaharaji ordered Yamazaki Shuichi to follow and monitor Miyazaki-kun?"
"I don't know." Imamura Kogoro shook his head slightly, "However, this possibility cannot be ruled out."
He asked Hideya Eguchi, "From your perspective, please analyze, why do you think the Inoue Mansion is suddenly interested in Cheng Qianfan again?"
"If, as you said, Inoue Mansion followed Miyazaki-kun because he was ordered to do so by Chikitaharaji, it can be explained." Eguchi Hideya said thoughtfully.
He pondered, "Of course, it may be due to other possibilities."
He hesitated again and again, but whispered, "Maybe they misunderstood something and thought they found something wrong with Cheng Qianfan, so..."
…
Imamura Kogoro looked deeply at Eguchi Hideya and said, "Eguchi-kun."
"Hai."
"If you have anything to say, you can just say it." Imamura Kogoro said solemnly.
"Hai." Eguchi Hideya said carefully after careful consideration, "There is something strange about this subordinate."
"What's weird?" Imamura Kogoro asked.
"My subordinates were ordered to arrest Kojima Kinjiro and others, and found that their method of tracking Miyazaki-kun was not very clever," Eguchi Hideya said.
Imamura Kogoro frowned. He looked at Eguchi Hideya and said, "Continue."
"Whether it is his identity as the 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' of the French Concession or Miyazaki-kun himself, he pays great attention to personal safety." Eguchi Hideya said, "He has many bodyguards around him, many of whom are experts in guarding and vigilance.
, Logically speaking..."
He looked at Kogoro Imamura carefully and said, "Miyazaki-kun should be able to discover the stalker."
"go on."
"With the methods of 'Mr. Xiao Cheng', if he finds out that someone is following him, he will arrest the person with thunderous means without us taking action at all." Eguchi Hideya said.
