Chapter 1463: Playing the long game to catch the big fish

"So, this Kojima Kinjiro is the younger brother of Kojima Shinji who was captured by you last time?" Hyōtaro Imamura frowned and asked.

"Yes." Imamura Kogoro said.

"Interesting." When Imamura Hyoutarou said this, his expression was gloomy.

He had personally called Inoue Yan more than a year ago and asked him to stop following and monitoring Cheng Qianfan. Faced with his reprimand, Inoue Yan naturally agreed.

Regardless of the reason why the Inoue Mansion has begun to monitor Cheng Qianfan again, this is a violation of the promise made to him by the Inoue Mansion.

At the very least, Inoue Mansion should inform him before taking action.

"Is Inoue Hiko now so swollen that he thinks he can ignore my request?" Imamura Hyoutaro snorted coldly and said.

"Kinjiro Kojima is only willing to admit that he was instructed by Shuichi Yamazaki." Kogoro Imamura said.

"Yamazaki Shuichi!" Hyōtaro Imamura looked gloomy. He remembered that the last time the Inoue Mansion sent someone to follow and monitor Cheng Qianfan, this was also an action arranged by Yamazaki Shuichi.

However, he immediately shook his head and said, "I only ask Inoue Yan for this matter."

What kind of guy is Yamazaki Shuichi? You are not qualified to talk to him at all.

Even Inoue Hiko, the director of the Inoue Mansion, was never really noticed by Imamura Hyoutarou.

"What else?" Hyōtaro Imamura asked.

"Eguchi Hideya said that the tracking methods of Kojima Kinjiro and others were not very clever." Kogoro Imamura said, "He believed that 'Mr. Cheng' was famously afraid of death. With the capabilities of the security personnel around Cheng Qianfan,

It should be possible to detect the stalker."

"What does he mean?" Imamura Hyōtaro frowned, "Does he suspect Kentaro of using a borrowed knife to kill someone?"

"Eguchi Eiya knows that Kentaro is your student. Perhaps out of this consideration, he did not directly say so." Imamura Kogoro said, "However, he should have hinted at this."



"What do you think?" Imamura Hyōtaro pressed his temples and asked a little tiredly.

"It's not necessary." Imamura Kogoro shook his head and said, "Kentaro's cover identity is Cheng Qianfan. Sometimes I can't help but admire that Kentaro has done such a great job. The 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' of the French Concession is definitely an imperial

A relatively famous case of successful infiltration in the history of agents."

He said to Imamura Hyoutarou, "Even if 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' only has power in Shanghai, he can do it casually and without any need to deal with stalkers with ulterior motives who may pose a security threat to him.

Kill someone with a borrowed knife."

"Killing with a borrowed knife is usually done out of some concern about not being able to attack a certain person or a certain force." Kogoro Imamura said, "Unless it is a possibility..."

"This possibility is that Kentaro knew that he was following him. The people who monitored him were people from the Inoue Mansion and members of the empire. It was difficult for him to do anything, so he borrowed a knife to kill someone." Imamura Hyoutarou said slowly.

He looked at Imamura Kogoro, "Do you think this possibility exists?"

"The possibility is extremely low." Imamura Kogoro shook his head, "Kentaro just came back from Qingdao not long ago. Besides, if he knows that the other party is from Inoue Mansion, based on my understanding of Kentaro, he respects you so much, he just

I will choose to report this matter to you, please indicate."

"Even if Kentaro is very angry, he will not act recklessly in private." He stepped forward and poured water into Imamura Hyoutarou's tea cup and said, "The technique of killing someone with a borrowed knife is too low-level. Kentaro is a smart boy and he will not do that.

of."

Hyōtaro Imamura nodded slightly. He liked and agreed with what Kogoro Imamura said just now:

Kentaro respects him very much.



"Haozi, do you know what mistakes I made in this matter?" Cheng Qianfan asked Li Hao.

He leaned on the armchair in the study, with fatigue behind his deep eyes.

"We shouldn't use the method of killing with a borrowed knife." Li Hao thought for a while and said, "This will be self-defeating."

"'Self-defeating', that's a good saying. Your idiom has improved a lot." Cheng Qianfan smiled and nodded, and then asked, "Do you know why it is 'self-defeating'?"

Li Hao shook his head. He just reasoned based on Brother Fan's reaction to the matter and came to this conclusion. As for the reason, he was not able to see through it that deeply.

"Inoue Mansion!" Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression, "I already know that the other party is from Inoue Mansion, and all my actions are based on this."

He said to Li Hao, "I subconsciously judged that the matter involved the Japanese and it was difficult for me to take action, so I chose to lead this group of people into the hands of Kogoro Imamura."

"As everyone knows." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "This is a smart and wrong decision."

"I understand." Li Hao thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Brother Fan also said before, don't act rashly. In fact, it shows that you don't know the other party's identity and you don't know that the other party is following you."

His eyes exuded an exciting light, "Brother Yifan, given your temper, since you may have discovered someone is following you, you can just order the person to be arrested and interrogated. Only after the interrogation can you know that the person is from the Inoue Mansion."

"That's right." Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly, "Then tell me, what should I do if I find out during interrogation that the other party is from the Inoue Mansion?"

"Report to Sanbonjiro, that's not right." Li Hao shook his head, "The best way is to report to Imamura Hyoutarou. After all, it was Imamura Hyoutarou who called Inoue Yan last time to stop them from following and monitoring Brother Fan.

"

"Very good." Cheng Qianfan nodded happily. Haozi's progress was visible to the naked eye.

He looked solemn and said to Li Hao, "Haozi, this incident is a lesson. It tells us a truth."

"Remember." Cheng Qianfan said, "Sometimes, the more you think about certain things, the more complicated the solution becomes, and the more unreasonable it becomes."

He took a puff of the cigarette and said, "Simple and crude handling methods are more direct and effective."

"I understand." Li Hao said, "Brother Fan, you are thinking too much from Kentaro Miyazaki's perspective on this matter. If you are thinking from the perspective of 'Mr. Xiao Cheng', how can you directly do this?"

It’s best to come.”

"You kid can do it. You can say such profound words." Cheng Qianfan laughed loudly, "Not bad, not bad, we have made progress."

"It's all, it's all..." Li Hao suddenly became a little embarrassed, "It's all what Zhou Ru taught me. He told me to use my brain more."

"You kid." Cheng Qianfan pointed at Li Hao with a cigarette between his fingers, "I taught you so hard, but Zhou Ru enlightened you with just a few words."

Li Hao giggled and touched his head.

"Fortunately, we responded in time and things turned around." Cheng Qianfan said, waving his hand, "Go ahead and search with great fanfare. We must uncover this group of suspicious elements who intend to do evil to me."

"I understand." Li Hao said with a smile, "Brother Fan, you are very angry. By holding back your temper before, you were playing a long game to catch the big fish."



"Go." Imamura Kogoro waved his hand and motioned for his men to go out.

"What's wrong?" Hyōtaro Imamura asked.

"The French Concession is in turmoil," Imamura Kogoro said with a smile. "'Mr. Xiao Cheng's' men are searching everywhere, and Kentaro has even announced that he will offer a reward for the arrest of any stalker who intends to do evil to him."

"Oh?" Imamura Hyōtaro raised his eyebrows, "Did you suddenly find that the stalker was missing, so you are searching for him?"

"It should be like this." Imamura Kogoro said with a smile, "In this case, things will be very clear."

He said to Imamura Hyoutarou, "Kentaro should have discovered that he was being followed a long time ago. However, he did not move. This is because he is preparing to fish for a big fish and find out the mastermind behind the scenes."

"However, now that the stalker has suddenly disappeared, Kentaro can't sit still and is anxious to hunt him down." He said with a smile.

"This is in line with Kentaro's temper." Hyōtaro Imamura nodded slightly.

Kentaro Miyazaki is extremely vigilant and hates any behavior that may endanger his safety. He was previously prepared to find out the person behind the scenes and eliminate the root cause.

"Okay, you call Cheng Mansion and tell him that you have caught him." Hyōtaro Imamura said.

"Hai."

"Is there any conflict between Eguchi Eiya and Kentaro?" Imamura Hyoutarou suddenly asked.

"Probably not." Imamura Kogoro frowned slightly and said in an uncertain tone, "I will figure this out."

Hyōtaro Imamura nodded.

Miyazaki Kentaro is his favorite closed student, and Eguchi Hide is just a subordinate. Emotionally, he is naturally closer to Miyazaki Kentaro.

Eguchi Hide can also doubt Kentaro Miyazaki, but this can only be based on the fact that Kentaro really has a problem.

Otherwise, it will only make him unhappy.



Chongqing.

"Sir." Chen Hua took Dai Chunfeng's hat and handed it to the maid to hang it up.

She noticed that Dai Chunfeng's face was full of spring breeze, and she also breathed a sigh of relief.

Previously, the Japanese bombed the Huangshan official residence. This incident made the Chairman of the Standing Committee furious, and Dai Chunfeng was also very upset.

Therefore, just now Dai Chunfeng was called to the official residence for an audience, and she had been worried.

"The old man is in a good mood." Dai Chunfeng said with a smile.

The last time he went to the audience, he received a scolding for nothing. Later, he learned that the principal and his wife were arguing. He was unlucky and was used as a punching bag.

I had good luck today. The principal and his Darling reconciled. The old man was in a better mood, and his life was much better.

Dai Chunfeng suddenly felt something in his heart. Xue Yingzhen had been very proud recently and had not been trained with him for a long time. This was not good. He thought that next time the old man quarreled with his wife again, he would try to lure Xue Yingzhen to the official residence to see her.

The more I think about it, the more I think this method is feasible:

Many of the guards in the Attendant's Room were from military backgrounds. This was the foundation for him to understand the old man's movements, but he could use them to make some fuss.

"What are you thinking about?" Chen Hua poured a glass of milk for Dai Chunfeng and asked with a smile, "Who are you plotting again?"

"Xue Yingzhen." Dai Chunfeng said directly, "This guy has been a little too proud recently, and I am very unhappy."

Chen Hua chuckled.

At this time, the phone in the living room rang.

Chen Hua stepped forward and picked up the phone, "Okay, okay, I understand."

"What's the matter?" Dai Chunfeng asked with a serious expression.

It was already late at night, and if there was no urgent matter, the call would not be made to Dai Gongguan.

"It's Qi Wu calling," Chen Hua said, "He said he had urgent military matters to report."

Dai Chunfeng nodded deeply, his expression serious. It was so late and Qi Wu came urgently, so he must have something important to do.

He pressed his temples, hoping it wasn't bad news.



Half an hour later.

"What did you say?" Dai Chunfeng stood up with a gloomy face.

"The Japanese already know the news about Cen Yufeng going to Shanghai." Qi Wu said.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Dai Chunfeng's expression changed.

The Shanghai District had suffered heavy losses due to Wang Tiemu's rebellion, and the Zhejiang District was also defeated by the enemy, resulting in considerable losses.

Therefore, Dai Chunfeng was not at ease with Jiangsu and Zhejiang. In order to cover up people's eyes, he specially arranged for Cen Yufeng, who had returned from Citigroup, to serve as the secretary of Shanghai District. He also went to Shanghai by waterway and had no contact with any stations along the way.

Therefore, the possibility of Cen Yufeng's whereabouts being exposed is almost non-existent.

In fact, except for the Military Command Headquarters and the Shanghai District, not even the stations knew that the Shanghai District had a new secretary.

However, Dai Chunfeng, who had lost his composure, calmed down and knew that what Qi Wu said must be true.

"Did the information leaked from within the Shanghai District?" he asked coldly.

"Probably not." Qi Wu said, "If there was an internal problem at Shanghai Station, the enemy should have known more about Cen Yufeng. It seems that is not the case now."

As he spoke, he took out the telegraph newspaper from his body and handed it to Dai Chunfeng with both hands, "The information is from the Blue Bird."

Dai Chunfeng had a puzzled look on his face. Since it was the 'Blue Bird' calling, it wasn't an internal problem within Shanghai District?

After reading the telegram carefully, Dai Chunfeng's face became increasingly gloomy.

"Damn it!" Dai Chunfeng said angrily.

The Japanese actually lurked inside the Military Command Bureau, and they lurked for a long time, and this person was of a high level, which Dai Chunfeng couldn't accept.

"What do you think?" he asked Qi Wu.

"'Blue Bird' said that spies are likely to be lurking in Jiangsu and Zhejiang." Qi Wu said, "This 'ruler' is very dangerous and must be found out as soon as possible."

"'Rule Ruler'!" Dai Chunfeng snorted coldly, "The Japanese are hateful, I want to see who they are going to whip with this 'Rule Ruler'!"

"Call Hangzhou, call Nanjing, and ask them to conduct self-examination. They must find out this 'ruler'." Dai Chunfeng said in a deep voice.

As he said that, he suddenly frowned and said, "Wait a minute."

Qi Wu also said quickly, "The Blue Bird just received a call, and we ordered Nanjing and Hangzhou to conduct self-examination. This may arouse the enemy's vigilance, and may even expose the Blue Bird."



"I know, I know." Dai Chunfeng snorted coldly. He thought for a moment and asked, "Where is Song Fuguo now?"

"In Jinhua." Qi Wu said, "Song Fuguo was ordered to rectify Jinhua Station."

"Secret message to Song Fuguo." Dai Chunfeng said in a deep voice, "Instruct him to inspect Jiangsu and Zhejiang as a special commissioner, and he must find out this 'ruler'."

"Do we need to arrange a meeting between Song Fuguo and the 'Blue Bird'?" Qi Wu thought for a while and asked, "To uncover the 'Jie Ruler', I'm afraid we need the support of Shanghai."

"Okay." Dai Chunfeng nodded slightly, "Song Fuguo and that boy have cooperated many times. I can rest assured that they have a perfect sword."

"Yes!" Qi Wu nodded, "I'm going to call Song Fuguo and 'Blue Bird' and ask them to meet on another day."

"In addition, tell Song Fuguo and ask him to convey the commendation order to our junior student on my behalf," Dai Chunfeng said.

"yes."
