"I found out that there is indeed a woman living at No. 22. She is a Japanese Kabuki who works in the White Wood House." Li Tongyun said to Qiao Chuntao, "The name is Iijima Asuka."
As soon as she got home from get off work, she received a mission to inquire about the residents of No. 22 West Jilaihuoxing Street.
"Are you at home?" Taozi asked.
"At home." Li Tongyun nodded, "She is a very enthusiastic woman."
She was proficient in Japanese, and as a Japanese woman who came to Shanghai from the Japanese mainland to visit her relatives, she pretended to come to Nishi Jiraiya Street to find someone, knocked on the door of No. 22, and inquired about the whereabouts of her relatives.
Asuka Iijima didn't have any doubts, and enthusiastically told this female compatriot that if she couldn't find her relatives and had difficulties in life, she could go to the White Wood House to look for her.
"Has the fishhook been dropped?" Qiao Chuntao asked.
"Let it go." Li Tongyun said.
…
No. 22, West Jilaihuoxing Street.
Asuka Iijima yawned and glanced at the steamer on the stove.
Yamazaki-kun said she liked Xiao Long Bao last time, so she kept it in mind, bought the ingredients and tried it twice, and finally made Xiao Long Bao that satisfied her.
The steamed dumplings have already been steamed and placed on the steamer to keep them warm so that Shuichi Yamazaki can enjoy them at any time after he returns home.
There was the sound of footsteps outside the house.
Then there was a knock on the door.
Asuka Iijima looked happy. She came to the door and asked happily, "Is it Yamazaki-kun?"
"It's me, open the door." Yamazaki Shuichi said happily. Just when he was at the street entrance, he caught a glimpse of the lights in his home, which made him feel warm in his heart.
Especially after he had just tortured two anti-Japanese students to death with his own hands, he enjoyed this warmth even more.
"Thank you for your hard work." Asuka Iijima held her hands in front of her belly, bent down at the door, and greeted Shuichi Yamazaki.
"Dinner is ready?" Yamazaki Shuichi glanced at Asuka Iijima with satisfaction, said, sniffed his nose, walked quickly to the stove, picked up the lid of the basket, and said in surprise, "Xiaolongbao, this is Asuka
A surprise for me?"
As he said that, he twisted a small steamed bun with his hands and put it into his mouth. It was so hot that he breathed out and gave a thumbs up to Asuka Iijima, "It's delicious."
For Asuka Iijima, this sentence was the greatest compliment, and she beamed with joy.
…
"That person just now should be our target." Qiao Chuntao said.
"Team leader, isn't it a definite and fixed target?" Li Tongyun frowned slightly and asked.
"Intelligence shows that White Wood House is a very popular izakaya in Hongkou recently, and many Japanese people patronize it." Qiao Chuntao said, "We have targeted Asuka Iijima. It is said that her lover is a Japanese military officer."
As he said that, he glanced at Li Tongyun and said, "Even if the target is wrong, the Japanese will be dead anyway, right?"
Under the gaze of the team leader, Li Tongyun remained calm and nodded calmly.
"Wait." Taozi's eyes were fixed on the house at No. 22, West Jiraiya Street. "After enjoying dinner, it is the most relaxed time for a person. That's when to take action."
"I understand." Li Tongyun sneered, "It's an advantage for them. Let the little devil be a dead ghost."
At this moment, a car light came from a distance, and Qiao Chuntao, Li Tongyun, and Mao Xuanyi beside them all frowned.
…
To be exact, three cars.
Three cars stopped near the gate of No. 22, West Jiraihuoxing Street.
The people in the two cars in front and behind, except the driver, all got out of the car and drew out the short guns on their waists to guard the surroundings.
The door of the guarded vehicle in the middle was opened, and a man wearing a windbreaker and a top hat got out of the car. He looked up at the streetlight and frowned slightly.
"Don't park under the streetlight next time." Cheng Qianfan said to Hou Pingliang.
"Yes!" Hou Pingliang immediately understood what Brother Fan meant. He just thought that the lighting under the street lights was good and the ground was icy, so Brother Fan would not fall when he got off the car.
However, it is obvious that Brother Fan cares more about his own safety than falling.
"Brother Fan, do you want me to take someone in to search first?" Little Monkey saw that Brother Fan was about to step forward and said hurriedly.
"No need." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "We are guests, courtesy guests."
He said he was going to take care of Yamazaki Shuichi, so he would come to visit in such an upright manner.
Being open-minded and forthright is a gentleman.
"Yes." Hou Pingliang stepped forward and knocked on the door.
…
"Is it Cheng Qianfan?" Li Tongyun's eyebrows widened as she recognized the man who entered Asuka Iijima's house.
You can see the photo of this "Mr. Xiao Cheng" from the French Concession in newspapers in Shanghai.
"They say Cheng Qianfan is a traitor, and it is true." Qiao Chuntao snorted coldly, "What do you think?"
"Kill them together!" Li Tongyun said immediately, then frowned, "It's a bit difficult, Cheng Qianfan has too many bodyguards."
"Cheng Qianfan is not our target." Qiao Chuntao shook his head, "Although I also want to kill this guy, there has been a strict order from Shangfeng, and Cheng Qianfan is on the priority list of the French Concession."
Li Tongyun knew what the "French Concession Key List" the team leader was talking about was. This was a list of key people in the French Concession listed by the Bureau's headquarters. Without orders from Chongqing, the Special Situation Office was strictly prohibited from taking action against the people on the list, even if that person
Even if he is a clear traitor with a long history of crimes, he must first seek instructions from Chongqing and get permission before he can plan anything.
"This 'Mr. Little Cheng' came here late at night, so he must have secretly met with the Japanese officer." Li Tongyun said, "It must be no small matter for Cheng Qianfan to come in person late at night."
"Not necessarily." Qiao Chuntao shook his head. He glanced at Li Tongyun and asked calmly, "Is Asuka Iijima beautiful?"
"She is a beauty." Li Tongyun nodded, and then she instantly understood what the team leader meant.
"Asuka Iijima's man is at home, doesn't Cheng Qianfan know? The adulterer and the male master are about to collide?" Li Tongyun said in surprise, but there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
It was fun to watch.
Sure enough, there was a faint sound of quarreling in room No. 22.
…
"Vice President Cheng, if you come to see me with an unfriendly attitude." Yamazaki Shuichi gave Cheng Qianfan a cold look and made a gesture of seeing off the guest, "Please come back."
Just now, there was a knock on the door, and the person announced that it was Cheng Qianfan who was visiting. Yamazaki Shuichi thought for a while and asked Asuka Iijima to open the door.
Cheng Qianfan brought someone to visit late at night, and Yamazaki Shuichi could guess why this person came:
It seems that the matter of tracking and monitoring Cheng Qianfan has been exposed, and it is very likely that the disappearance of Kojima Kinjiro and others is directly related to Cheng Qianfan. This person is here to investigate.
In addition, Cheng Qianfan was able to find No. 22, Nishi Jiraiya Street, which also made Yamazaki Shuichi extremely alert.
This is the "love nest" between him and Asuka Iijima. It is very secret. Even inside the Inoue Mansion, only his close associates know about it.
But Cheng Qianfan was able to find this place, which shows his skill and ability.
However, although Yamazaki Shuichi was wary in his heart, he was not afraid of Cheng Qianfan and did not think that Cheng Qianfan would do anything to him.
This is not because Cheng Qianfan has always been close to the empire, nor is it because he firmly believes that Cheng Qianfan will take advantage of his status as the deputy director of the Inoue Residence and does not dare to do anything to him.
Although Yamazaki Shuichi is arrogant, he is not so arrogant that he has lost his mind and thinks that no one dares to harm him. You must know that you should never put your own safety above the fear of the other party. The fish in the Huangpu River cannot Picky eater.
If Cheng Qianfan really wanted to attack him, he secretly sent gunmen to ambush him, just one shot per person. This kind of thing is not uncommon in Shanghai, and this is how many headless cases came out.
Yamazaki Shuichi determined that the reason why Cheng Qianfan did not dare to do anything to him was very straightforward:
Cheng Qianfan came to visit in such a grand manner at night, so he didn't mean to take action.
…
"Mr. Yamazaki, what you said makes Cheng a little sad." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "Cheng has always been on good terms with friends of the Japanese Empire, and his treatment of his friends is even more impeccable. This is well-known."
He looked at Yamazaki Shuichi and said, "Mr. Yamazaki is so manic, which really puzzles Cheng."
"Vice President Cheng." Yamazaki Shuichi sneered, "You Chinese like to play riddles. For this reason, things still go round and round."
He said coldly, "I don't like to go around in circles. Now that Vice President Cheng is here, I also know the reason for your visit."
Yamazaki Shuichi snorted coldly, "Vice President Cheng, let my man go."
"Who are your people?" Cheng Qianfan frowned.
"Kojima Kinjiro and three others." Yamazaki Shuichi said coldly, "We at the Inoue Mansion have learned that someone intends to harm Vice President Cheng. We have always paid great attention to the safety and protection of our friends in the empire."
"So, you sent someone to protect me secretly?" Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
"That's right." Yamazaki Shuichi nodded slightly, "Maybe Vice President Cheng misunderstood our protective behavior. Now it's okay. The misunderstanding has been clarified. Please let Vice President Cheng release my people."
"Release someone?" Cheng Qianfan picked his ear with his right little finger, then he flicked his fingers, "Release what? Who?"
"Vice President Cheng, the matter has been made very clear, and the misunderstanding has been fully explained." Yamazaki Shuichi said, "Vice President Cheng has always been a friend of the empire. As a friend, I have something to say to Vice President Cheng.
"
"But it doesn't matter." Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly.
"Vice President Cheng, please don't act out of emotion. If the friendship between Vice President Cheng and the Empire is affected due to misunderstanding or trivial matters, it will be a small loss but a big loss." Yamazaki Shuichi said with a serious expression.
"No, no, no." Cheng Qianfan shook his finger, "Mr. Yamazaki, you made a mistake."
He looked at Yamazaki Shuichi and said with a smile, "Cheng is here not for private matters, but for official matters."
"Business?" Yamazaki Shuichi glanced at Cheng Qianfan in surprise, then smiled sarcastically.
He wanted to see how this person would continue to make sophistry.
…
"In 1936, a man named Xu Wei was shot dead in the Sanjiaji vegetable market. Xu Wei was a resident of the legal community. Later, after investigation by the judicial arrest room, it was found that the murderer who shot Xu Wei was named Hirakawa Mataemon." Cheng Qianfan looked at Yamazaki Shuichi.
He said, "After careful investigation by the law inspector, it was found that this Hirakawa Mataemon is the pseudonym used by Mr. Yamazaki."
He leaned forward slightly and looked at Yamazaki Shuichi, "Mr. Yamazaki, what do you have to say about this?"
"Absurd!" Shuichi Yamazaki snorted, "I don't know what Hirakawa Mataemon is."
His eyes were cold, "The most important thing is, Vice President Cheng, you have no right to question me."
"That's it." Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly, and then he laughed.
Yamazaki Shuichi frowned, and then he was tightly controlled by Hou Pingliang and Lu Jiufan, and his hands were quickly cuffed behind his back and held down.
"Cheng Qianfan, what are you doing?" Yamazaki Shuichi said angrily.
"Now, let me ask Mr. Yamazaki." Cheng Qianfan walked up to Yamazaki Shuichi.
Lu Jiu pulled Yamazaki Shuichi's hair and pulled it up hard.
Cheng Qianfan slapped Yamazaki Shuichi directly on the face, "Do I have the right to hit you?"
"Bag duck falls!" Yamazaki Shuichi struggled hard and roared.
"Mr. Yamazaki, may I ask, in 1936, Xu Wei from Taihuali in the French Concession was shot dead in the Triangle Market. Were you the murderer Hirakawa Mataemon?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
After saying that, without waiting for Yamazaki Shuichi to speak, he stepped forward and slapped Yamazaki Shuichi's ears hard with his bow left and right.
"What are you doing?" Asuka Iijima, who was ordered by Yamazaki Shuichi to take shelter temporarily, heard the noise and rushed over in horror and anger, "Let Yamazaki-kun go."
Cheng Qianfan directly pulled out the black muzzle of the short gun and pointed it directly at Yamazaki Shuichi. He looked at Asuka Iijima with a warm smile on his face, "Madam, please calm down, you don't want your man to have a hole in his forehead.
"
Asuka Iijima was stunned and looked at all this in horror.
"Shh!" Cheng Qianfan put his left index finger to his lips, nodded towards Asuka Iijima, and then he smiled, "Yes, madam, please be good."
With that said, Cheng Qianfan handed the pistol directly to one of his men, "If this lady makes any move, shoot Yamazaki Shuichi to death."
"yes!"
…
"Did you do it?" Cheng Qianfan nodded again at Asuka Iijima, seemingly satisfied with the other party's honest cooperation, and then suddenly raised his right hand and slapped Shuichi Yamazaki hard.
This slap was so hard that Yamazaki Shuichi's face immediately swelled up, and two of his teeth were knocked out.
"Is that you, Hirakawa Mataemon?" Cheng Qianfan slapped Osamu Yamazaki back and forth a few times, and then suddenly angrily shook his right hand that was sore from the reaction force, and he kicked it directly, "Yes.
Not you."
Hou Pingliang and Lu Jiufan very skillfully pushed Yamazaki Shuichi forward, just in time for Yamazaki Shuichi's abdomen to receive Brother Fan's flying kick.
The two men escorted Yamazaki Shuichi, but they also staggered.
Osamu Yamazaki had a ferocious look on his face. The kick caused a strong stomach spasm, and he almost vomited out the steamed dumplings he had just eaten.
"Yes, he said yes." Hou Pingliang pressed Yamazaki Shuichi's head, tapping and tapping, and said.
"Very good, you have a good attitude in pleading guilty." Cheng Qianfan nodded, with a smile on his face, pointed at Yamazaki Shuichi and said to Iijima Asuka, "Madam, your husband has the noble quality of honesty."
With that said, Cheng Qianfan took the briefcase handed over by his subordinates, took out a pile of documents, flipped through them, and said, "The second item."
"In 1937, that is, three years ago, the husband of Ms. Raffaello Ruth disappeared. There is intelligence that this gentleman was murdered." Cheng Qianfan looked at Yamazaki Shuichi with a serious expression, "
Mr. Yamazaki, the forensic room has evidence pointing to you as the murderer, do you admit it?"
