Sakamoto Yoshino's evaluation of Taira Chongyōichi was "rude, vulgar, arrogant, simple-minded and well-developed limbs".
Therefore, a relatively typical appearance of a Japanese military officer appeared in Cheng Qianfan's mind:
He has a fierce face, is cruel and cruel, and is arrogant and arrogant.
He treats Chinese people even more contemptuously and rudely.
Then, he saw Ping Chongyang, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, sitting politely on a chair. He had a handsome appearance and a gentle smile on his face, which was not consistent with what Sakamoto Yoshino said.
"Your Excellency, Counselor." Cheng Qianfan placed the pastry gift box on the coffee table and bowed to Imamura Hyoutaro.
"Chiho is here." Hyōtaro Imamura nodded slightly, "Sit down."
"Hai." Cheng Qianfan sat down, but he only sat halfway up his buttocks and his waist was straight.
Ping Chongyang looked over with great interest. The person who came was obviously a Chinese, but judging from Counselor Imamura's attitude, he was quite friendly.
"Yōichi, this is Cheng Qianfan, the deputy chief inspector of the Central Patrol Room of the French Concession." Hyōtaro Imamura said to Hira Chongyōichi, "A young man who is very friendly to the empire and whom I admire very much."
With that said, he introduced Cheng Qianfan, "Qianfan, this is Ping Chongyang, an outstanding young man from the empire."
"It turns out to be Mr. Pingzhong." Cheng Qianfan quickly stood up to greet him.
"Mr. Cheng." Ping Chongyang nodded, but did not stand up.
As expected, arrogant and rude.
Cheng Qianfan glanced at Ping Chongyang.
Hyōtaro Imamura smiled slightly.
Kentaro's identity is a secret. Ping Chongyang is a staunch military purge faction. The so-called purge faction kills all Chinese and eliminates traces of Chinese presence in this land. Therefore, Ping Chongyang's attitude towards the Chinese can be seen.
, he was able to nod in response to Kentaro because of his attitude and face.
Hyōtaro Imamura did not intend to inform Hira Chōyōichi of Miyazaki Kentaro's identity, but he wanted to see how his outstanding student would get along with Hira Chōyōichi.
Cheng Qianfan sat upright and listened to the conversation between Hyōtaro Imamura and Ping Chongyang.
"Shanghai is a prosperous place in the Far East. Yoichi was working hard in the army and happened to stay in Shanghai for a few days to recuperate," Hyōtaro Imamura said.
"yes."
"You and Ryono are classmates. We haven't seen each other for many years. You must have a lot to say." Hyoutarou Imamura said with a smile, "Let Ryono fulfill his friendship as a landlord."
Ping Chongyang smiled and said, "Yang Yi was naughty when he was young. He often played with Sakamoto-kun. He must be thinking about how to deal with me at this time."
Hyōtaro Imamura burst out laughing, "What an enviable young man."
"Then Yang Yi won't disturb uncle's work." Ping Chongyang stood up and left.
"Go ahead and get closer to you young people." Imamura Hyōtaro nodded slightly.
Ping Chongyang nodded, turned and left, seemingly not paying attention to Cheng Qianfan. When he saw Cheng Qianfan getting up and seeing him off politely, he finally nodded in response, but his arrogant attitude was evident.
…
After Ping Chongyang left, Cheng Qianfan walked over and closed the office door, with a smile on his face when he turned around.
"What are you laughing at?" Hyōtaro Imamura asked.
"Sakamoto-kun said that Taira Shige-kun was vulgar and arrogant and did not want to entertain him, so he asked me to entertain him instead." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "I'm afraid Sakamoto-kun will be disappointed."
"Yoichi doesn't know your true identity, and his attitude towards the Chinese has always been like this." Imamura Hyoutarou said, looking at the student, "It makes you suffer."
"Students are used to it." Cheng Qianfan said with a wry smile.
As he said that, he picked up the pastry gift box on the coffee table and said, "Shen Dacheng's Tiaotou cake has just come out of the oven. I don't know if it has cooled down yet."
Imamura Hyōtaro nodded slightly and joked, "Kentaro is here with a heavy gift, but is there something wrong?"
Then he saw Kentaro Miyazaki's expression become serious, and he also showed a look of surprise. He was joking casually, but looking at his student's expression, it seemed that something was really going on.
"Teacher, the student really has something to ask the teacher for help." Cheng Qianfan said respectfully.
"Oh?" Hyōtaro Imamura caught the word 'help' in his student's speech.
He motioned Kentaro Miyazaki to sit down and said, "Tell me slowly. I am the teacher of everything."
…
Cheng Qianfan reported today's events to Hyoutaro Imamura in great detail.
"You mean, you suspect that the mastermind behind this bomb attack is Zhang Xiaolin?" Imamura Hyōtaro asked in a deep voice with a sullen look on his face.
"After preliminary investigation, Fei Xianda is indeed Zhang Xiaolin's man." Cheng Qianfan nodded and said, "However, this person flatly denied that the car explosion was related to him, and..."
There was anger and embarrassment in his eyes.
"Say it." Hyōtaro Imamura said, "Is there anything else you can't say in front of me?"
"There was another person with Fei Xianda at that time. This person had a bad attitude and claimed to be an imperial agent." Cheng Qianfan said, his expression showing anger and confusion, but also a bit of happiness.
Looking at Hyōtaro Imamura, Cheng Qianfan continued, "The student was so angry that he shot and killed this person."
"Is it really true that the gun was fired in anger?" Imamura Hyōtaro stared into his student's eyes, his eyes scrutinizing.
"The teacher has a keen eye, and Kentaro dare not lie." Cheng Qianfan said, "When he heard that imperial agents were involved, the students were even more angry and confused. At the same time..."
He looked at Hyōtaro Imamura, with unwillingness and grievance in his eyes, "This person revealed his identity in public. Out of anger, the student made an immediate decision and solved this person."
"Teacher, that Ji Xianglin must die." Cheng Qianfan paused and continued, "It would be better for this person to die."
When he said this, Cheng Qianfan's expression was tangled and unwilling.
Imamura Hyōtaro took a deep look at Miyazaki Kentaro. He understood why his student was acting like this, and he also understood his anger and unwillingness.
Because this matter involves within the empire, it would be fine if the other party does not know Kentaro's identity, but if they know Kentaro's identity and want to harm him, this is an out-and-out scandal.
Kentaro's killing of this man was, in a sense, actually a cover-up for the mastermind behind it. After all, there was no evidence of his death.
…
"You have the overall situation in mind." Imamura Hyōtaro snorted, and he gave Miyazaki Kentaro a meaningful look.
"I was indeed angered." Cheng Qianfan answered honestly, "I thought that if the investigation later confirmed the identity of this person, I wouldn't be able to kill him even if I wanted to."
Hyōtaro Imamura smiled, this was the Kentaro he knew.
Kentaro may also have the overall situation in mind, but for Kentaro whose life is threatened, revenge to vent his inner fire is the main reason.
"Teacher, actually I am conflicted and regretful." Cheng Qianfan said, "Looking back now, I am still thinking, if I had not killed Ji Xianglin, and used this person to find out the mastermind behind the scenes..."
He glanced at Imamura Hyoutarou, his brows were furrowed, he shook his head and said, "But, after thinking about it carefully, it would be better for that person to die."
"Okay, if Jixiang Lin dies, then it is right for this person to die." Imamura Hyoutarou said solemnly, "As for who is behind this person, I will arrange an investigation on this matter."
??????????.??????
"It was Kentaro who caused trouble for the teacher." Cheng Qianfan said.
Hyōtaro Imamura then stretched out his finger and pointed at Kentaro Miyazaki with a smile, "Don't be so mean to your teacher in the future."
Cheng Qianfan showed a slightly exaggerated expression and said shyly, "Is the student's acting skills so poor? The teacher actually saw through it?"
"It's not clumsy, it's exaggerated." Imamura Hyoutarou said angrily.
As a student, I killed the imperial agent who called myself Ji Xiang Lin in a rage. I was scared and worried about the threat posed by the people behind Ji Xiang Lin. I could only come to him for help, but I had too many thoughts. I was sorry.
He said it directly and then beat around the bush, but his acting skills were really exaggerated.
"When I suddenly encountered such a thing, I was frightened. My first reaction was to come to the teacher for help, but I thought that I always caused trouble to the teacher." Cheng Qianfan stepped forward, refilled Hyoutarou Imamura's teacup, and gently
Qing said, "It's such a contradiction. I'm afraid of death and feel embarrassed at the same time."
He picked up the tea cup, offered it with both hands, his eyes were slightly red, "Just thinking about it, I know that the only person in this world who is willing to help me selflessly and really cares about me is you, teacher."
Hyōtaro Imamura looked at Kentaro Miyazaki.
"The teacher treats me like a son, and I regard the teacher as my biological father." Cheng Qianfan's nose was blocked and he was sobbing a little. "I just thought that my son was bullied and turned to his old father. This shouldn't be embarrassing."
"Shameful boy." Imamura Hyoutarou scolded, "You cry over the smallest things."
Then he took the tea cup with both hands, took a sip, snorted coldly, and said, "Teacher is hungry."
"Hai." Cheng Qianfan raised his head, with an expression of extreme joy on his face. He ran over and picked up the cake he brought, wiped his tears with his hand, showed a sunny smile, and presented a treasure to Hyoutarou Imamura.
Said, "The teacher said she liked the taste of roses last time, so I personally told them to add rose powder this time."
"Flattery." Hyōtaro Imamura took the cake and took a bite.
Cheng Qianfan smiled even happier after being scolded, and he quickly brought tea and handed it over.
…
"Tell me, what do you think about this matter?" Imamura Hyōtaro stopped talking after taking two bites of the cake and asked.
"Although the confession from the patrol room has not yet come out, I still tend to think that Zhang Xiaolin was the mastermind behind this incident." Cheng Qianfan said, "In addition, there are imperial agents involved. If you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem surprising.
.”
He told Hyoutaro Imamura, "Zhang Xiaolin was warned before not to take action against me. I was also restrained from taking any further action against Zhang Xiaolin. From now on, both of us have restrained ourselves."
"So, this time Zhang Xiaolin wants to blow you up, you suspect that he has the tacit approval or even support of some people." Hyōtaro Imamura nodded slightly and said.
"Although it's just speculation, apart from this possibility, I really can't think of any other more reasonable inference." Cheng Qianfan said.
"You just said that before the explosion, shots were fired at the pier." Hyōtaro Imamura pondered for a moment and then suddenly asked.
"Yes, Ryotaro Ishizaka of the Military Police brought people over from the pier." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "Later, I asked someone to inquire about it, and it was probably the Military Police who shot and arrested people on the other side of the pier.
"
He peeled the apple quickly with his hands, and the skin of the apple was long and thin. He continued, "My subordinates reported that two people were beaten to death by the gendarmerie on the dock. They are said to be Chongqing elements. There should be others who escaped in the chaos.
"
After thinking about it, Cheng Qianfan added, "It should be that the explosion on the Jucai Building side happened to cause chaos on the other side of the pier, which gave the Chongqing elements an opportunity to take advantage of the chaos and escape."
Qianfan suddenly paused when he mentioned this mileage, his expression a little strange.
"What's wrong?" Hyōtaro Imamura glanced at his student.
"I just suddenly thought..." Cheng Qianfan looked at Imamura Hyoutarou, his smile was a smile, but there was a hint of teasing and resentment mixed with a hint of joy, and said, "If Naito-kun is still here, he will definitely
If I request to be examined, he will say that this is not a coincidence and that the escape of the Chongqing elements is related to me."
"How can you still laugh?" Imamura Hyōtaro glared at Miyazaki Kentaro, "Do you think the military police will think these two things are just coincidences?"
"Because I know it is indeed a coincidence." Cheng Qianfan said with a helpless expression, "I have no evil intentions in my heart, so I am naturally not afraid of investigation."
As he spoke, Cheng Qianfan skillfully cut the peeled apple into small pieces with a fruit knife, then placed the small plate in front of Imamura Hyoutarou, then skillfully opened the drawer on the far right and took out a small fork.
Suddenly, his eyes rolled, "Teacher, do you think the failure of the arrest at the dock was really related to the explosion?"
…
Hyōtaro Imamura immediately understood what Kentaro Whitezaki meant. Naturally, Kentaro was not saying that the dock incident was related to him, but was implying that the matter was related to Zhang Xiaolin:
The Chongqing elements on the other side of the pier did use the explosion to escape. For this reason alone, the explosion deserves in-depth investigation.
Zhang Xiaolin, who is suspected of attacking Kentaro with a bomb, is naturally suspicious.
"Although Zhang Xiaolin has many ambitions and interests, he is not loyal to the empire." Hyōtaro Imamura thought about it, "However, to say that this person has colluded with Chongqing is..."
Having said this, Imamura Hyoutarou suddenly closed his mouth.
According to the information obtained by Imamura Mansion, in fact, Chongqing has never given up on wooing Zhang Xiaolin.
To say that Zhang Xiaolin secretly rescued people from Chongqing at the request of Chongqing for some reason seems impossible, but it does not seem surprising.
"Evidence." Hyōtaro Imamura said with a serious expression, "Zhang Xiaolin is no more important than others to the empire's stability in Shanghai."
"There is absolutely no evidence for this kind of thing." Cheng Qianfan shook his head and said, "People like Zhang Xiaolin are old foxes. He will not leave any evidence or clues."
Imamura Hyoutaro glanced at his student. Kentaro was really good at finding opportunities. This clever boy deliberately revealed in his words that he thought Zhang Xiaolin was connected with Chongqing and secretly rescued the Chongqing elements. This was a trick for him to do.
Psychological suggestion.
However, Imamura Hyoutaro was not angry. Such Kentaro was exactly the Kentaro he knew.
Even though he had all sorts of minor flaws, he liked Kentaro more and more.
"Didn't you say that you are arranging for someone to interrogate that Fei Xianda?" Hyōtaro Imamura said, "This person's confession is very important."
When Cheng Qianfan heard this, he was happy at first, and then shook his head, "The student doesn't think Fei Xianda knows too much. This person is just a knife at best."
He said to Hyōtaro Imamura, "An old fox like Zhang Xiaolin would never show such a flaw."
Cheng Qianfan also took a fork, took a piece of apple and ate it, chewing the apple and said, "Even if Fei Xianda really knows something, Zhang Xiaolin..."
Suddenly, Cheng Qianfan was stunned. His mouth that was chewing an apple stopped, and then he coughed. He choked on the apple pulp...
