"Are you saying that Kuang Xiaoqin is missing?" Sanshiro Sugita looked at Governor Zhao with an unkind expression and asked.
"Yes." Cardiff Zhao looked embarrassed and uneasy, "I arranged for people to keep an eye on Kuang Xiaoqin secretly, preparing to find an opportunity to take action. I never expected to receive a report from my subordinates today that the subordinate Ma Boyu who was following Kuang Xiaoqin died unexpectedly, and Kuang Xiaoqin also disappeared."
"Did Kuang Xiaoqin move his hand?" Sanshiro Sugita frowned and asked, "Or was it Cheng Qianfan's move?"
"It's not clear yet." Cardinal Zhao shook his head and said, "However, the forensic doctor determined that the murder weapon was most likely a blade, and a button was found in Ma Boyu's hand, which looked like it was torn off a woman's clothes."
With that said, Cardinal Zhao handed the button to Sanshiro Sugita to look at.
Sanshiro Sugita took the button in his hand and looked at it carefully.
He glanced at Shu Li Zhao and said, "Do you suspect that the murderer is Kuang Xiaoqin?"
"It can only be said that it is more likely that a woman did it." Councilor Zhao paused for a moment, and finally said, "We cannot rule out that it was the person Cheng Qianfan arranged to protect Kuang Xiaoqin who did it."
"When following Kuang Xiaoqin before, did you find out that Cheng Qianfan arranged for someone to secretly protect her?" Sanshiro Sugita turned to ask Yamashita Renpachi.
"I have never found it." Yamashita Renpachi shook his head, "Cheng Qianfan probably only arranged bodyguards for his wife and children. Even with Zhang Ping, he only strengthened the patrols on Baier Road."
…
Sanshiro Sugita looked at Councilor Zhao.
"So, Cheng Qianfan is indeed unaware of Kuang Xiaoqin's whereabouts?" Governor Zhao frowned and said, "He asked me for help in the patrol room today, and later in Mr. Jin's office, Cheng Qianfan tried to attack me."
After deep thought, Cardinal Zhao said, "It seems like this guy is acting?"
Sanshiro Sugita looked deeply at Governor Zhao.
Shuli Zhao is honest, but also not honest.
He was said to be honest because Shuli Zhao did not conceal the facts and also expressed his suspicion that the murderer was a woman.
The reason why he was said to be dishonest was that because of his hatred for Cheng Qianfan, Governor Zhao used a little trick to try to lead the suspect to Cheng Qianfan.
Of course, it was just a little thought. When I saw something was wrong, I put away the thought decisively.
…
"Inspector Zhao, Zhao Sang."
"Mr. Sugita."
"You were patting your chest and promising that you would be able to hand Kuang Xiaoqin into my hands." Sanshiro Sugita said coldly.
"It was Zhao who made a mistake in his plan and failed in his work." Cardinal Zhao said quickly, "Mr. Sugita was disappointed."
"Inspector Zhao is also a famous detective in the French Concession. Based on your investigative experience and professional perspective, how likely is it that the person who killed your subordinate is Kuang Xiaoqin?" Sanshiro Sugita asked.
"Before answering Mr. Sugita's question, Mr. Zhao has a question and please ask Mr. Sugita to clarify it," said Cardinal Zhao.
"Ask."
"Does Mr. Sugita suspect that there is something wrong with Kuang Xiaoqin? Or does he suspect that Cheng Qianfan is not loyal to the Japanese Empire? He just wants to know some of Cheng Qianfan's secrets through Kuang Xiaoqin?" Councilor Zhao asked.
…
"Is there a difference between the two questions?" Sanshiro Sugita asked, squinting his eyes.
"There is a difference." Shuli Zhao nodded, "If it is the latter, then it is more likely that Kuang Xiaoqin is an ordinary person, then the possibility of Kuang Xiaoqin being a murderer can be preliminarily ruled out."
"If Mr. Sugita has long suspected that Kuang Xiaoqin has a problem, then this woman must have an unknown side, which means that Kuang Xiaoqin may not be an ordinary person." Shuli Zhao said, "In this case, I tend to focus on investigating Kuang Xiaoqin."
"Kuang Xiaoqin." Sanshiro Sugita said, "This woman is very mysterious. I need to know as much information about her as possible. Find out about this woman for me."
"Yes." Shu Li Zhao deliberately showed a flash of regret on his face, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It seems that the enemy did not have any doubts about Comrade Huo Miao, and his attention was only on Kuang Xiaoqin.
.
However, Shuli Zhao still had a doubt in his heart, as to what mistake he had made, so that the enemy would secretly target 'Kuang Xiaoqin'.
Sanshirō Sugita read the regret in Shuli Zhao's eyes. He looked at Shuli Zhao and said, "Inspector Zhao, I will give you four days to find Kuang Xiaoqin within four days."
"Four days..." Shu Li Zhao's expression changed slightly.
"Zhao Sang, don't let me down this time." Sanshiro Sugita patted Shuli Zhao on the shoulder.
"Yes." Councilor Zhao could only nod helplessly, "Zhao will definitely try his best."
…
After Cardinal Zhao left, Yamashita Renpachi said to Sanshiro Sugita, "Sir, it seems that Cardinal Zhao is not very confident in catching Kuang Xiaoqin."
"What the empire needs is people who have the ability to do things for the empire." Sanshiro Sugita said, "Chu Zhao failed this time. I am very disappointed. I hope he will not disappoint me this time."
As he said that, he looked at Yamashita Renpachi and said, "If Cardinal Zhao is looking for traces of Kuang Xiaoqin, he will inevitably conflict with Cheng Qianfan again. Please arrange for someone to keep an eye on him secretly and report any problems directly to me."
"Sir, do you suspect Cheng Qianfan?"
Sanshiro Sugita shook his head slowly, "Cheng Qianfan is lustful, and women are his weakness and biggest weakness. I am very interested in Miyazaki-kun's reaction in this incident."
"In addition, from the current point of view, Kuang Xiaoqin is very problematic." Sanshiro Sugita said, "Looking at Cheng Qianfan, you can also check whether Miyazaki-kun is fascinated by beauty and whether he has made any mistakes.
"
"Hai."
…
Two days passed quickly, and neither Inspector Zhao, who was secretly searching for Kuang Xiaoqin, nor Mr. Cheng, who was looking for his secret lover, could find any trace of Kuang Xiaoqin.
This beautiful woman who had already been spread as a "famous radio broadcast" just disappeared from the world.
In the past two days, Cheng Qianfan and his men had several conflicts with Councilor Zhao's men, and for a while the French Concession seemed to become turbulent.
…
The second day of March.
Suitable for marriage.
This day is the wedding day of Li Hao, the most trusted subordinate and brother of 'Mr. Xiao Cheng', and the little cook of the Cheng family.
‘Mr. Xiao Cheng’ booked the Chunfeng Deyi Building early to host a banquet for his brother’s wedding.
Li Hao is an orphan, and as the eldest brother, Cheng Qianfan does his duty as the male elder.
Zhou Ru was also alone, so Bai Ruolan became the bride's maternal elder.
Li Hao led Zhou Ru, who was covered with a red wedding cloth, to propose a toast.
"Haozi."
"Ai."
"Okay, okay. Brother Fan makes me happy to see you getting married and starting a business."
"Brother Fan." Li Hao also choked up. If it weren't for Brother Fan, he would have been one of the countless little beggars freezing to death on the streets. For him, Brother Fan was not only a reborn parent who survived, but also guided him on the road to resisting Japan.
.
"Haozi."
"sister in law."
"I leave Zhou Ru in your hands. You two must respect each other as guests and live a happy life." Bai Ruolan said, "If you treat Zhou Ru badly, my sister-in-law, as a member of the family, will have to deal with you."
"Haozi doesn't dare." Li Hao said quickly.
Bai Ruolan warned Zhou Ru again, and then the couple each took out a wedding note and handed it into Zhou Ru's hands.
…
Bridal night with flowers and candles.
Li Hao took off his wife's red hijab.
Looking at Silly Le's husband, Zhou Ru gave an angry look and said, "Silly."
Li Hao slapped himself, then chuckled and said, "It hurts, it's true, wife."
"Are you stupid?" Zhou Ru scolded with a smile.
Then the two looked at each other and smiled.
Smiling, smiling, Zhou Ru's cheeks were covered with tears.
"What's wrong?"
"I think of my parents." Zhou Ru leaned on Li Hao's shoulder and whispered, "I am the old girl in the family. My parents love me the most. They have spirits in heaven. If they knew that I was getting married today, they would definitely...
Definitely, my dad likes to drink two glasses of wine, and he will definitely get drunk."
"Come." Li Hao took Zhou Ru's hand.
"What to do?" Zhou Ru asked confused.
…
Li Hao took his newlywed wife and knelt down facing the northeast.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law." Li Hao kowtowed with an extremely serious expression, "Son-in-law Li Hao kowtows to his second elder here."
"My father-in-law, my mother-in-law."
"My son-in-law must take good care of Xiaoru and treat her well," Li Hao said. "If there is any danger, my son-in-law will protect her and he will die in front of Xiaoru."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhou Ru got angry and hit her husband hard.
Li Hao looked at his wife, his eyes were so gentle, and there was great strength in his gentleness.
"Fool." Zhou Ru hugged her husband and said, "Fool."
She said silently in her heart, "Father, mother, this old girl has found a man worthy of trusting her for life. He is an upright hero!"
…
Two days later.
Extraordinary courses.
"Mr. Sugita, I'm sorry to disappoint you." Zhao said with a guilty look on his face.
"Zhao Sang."
"Mr. Sugita."
"You are right, I am indeed very disappointed." Sanshiro Sugita looked at Cardinal Zhao.
Shuli Zhao raised his head and glanced at Sugita Sanshiro, with shame and uneasiness in his eyes. For a moment, he didn't know how to reply.
"Mr. Sugita, give me two more days, give me two more days."
"Oh? Can I see Kuang Xiaoqin in two days?"
"Zhao feels ashamed and can only do his best..."
"Okay, our intelligence office will investigate Kuang Xiaoqin's matter on its own." Sanshiro Sugita looked at Cardinal Zhao, "Zhao Sang."
"Mr. Sugita."
"You can find some clues, but it's not all bad." Sanshiro Sugita said, "Next time, next time I have something to tell you, I hope to get a satisfactory result."
After hearing this, a look of relief appeared in the corner of Shu Li Zhao's eyes, "Next time, Mr. Sugita will not need to take action and Zhao will lose face."
"Go." Sanshiro Sugita waved his hand.
"yes."
…
"Wait a minute." Sanshiro Sugita called out to Cardinal Zhao again.
"Mr. Sugita, do you have anything else to ask?"
"You know that the Red Party attacked Miles Air Road last night and rescued their people," said Sanshiro Sugita.
"I have heard about it," Cardinal Zhao said. "Nanjing District Chief Su did not report to Deputy Director Li that the Nanjing District of the Secret Service Headquarters escorted the Red Party to Shanghai. Deputy Director Li was very angry about this."
"Two of the rescued Red Party members were seriously injured, and military doctors said they most likely needed sulfa powder to save their lives," Sanshiro Sugita said.
"Mr. Sugita, do you want me to keep an eye on the market to prevent them from getting sulfa powder?" Cardinal Zhao frowned and said, "Mr. Sugita, it has been several days since they were rescued. Even if they need sulfa powder, either
We have already obtained it, or we have not obtained sulfa powder. If the two seriously injured Red Party members did not have sulfa powder, they may have died of their injuries."
"No." Sanshiro Sugita shook his head, "We received word that sulfa powder had been released on the black market in the French Concession a few days ago."
He looked at Cardinal Zhao and said, "Check it out."
"Understood." Shu Li Zhao nodded.
…
After Cardinal Zhao left, Sanshiro Sugita thought for a moment, then came to the office of the director of the intelligence office and reported to my grandson Shinta.
"Missing?" my grandson Shinta asked.
"Yes, neither Shuli Zhao's people nor Cheng Qianfan's people have found Kuang Xiaoqin. Now it seems that there must be something wrong with Kuang Xiaoqin." Sanshiro Sugita said.
"Arrange someone to keep an eye on Cardinal Zhao." My grandson Shen Tai thought for a moment and said.
Sanshiro Sugita was stunned for a moment.
"What?" My grandson Shinta glanced at Sugita Sanshiro.
"The room chief suspects Governor Zhao?" Sanshiro Sugita asked.
"Shouldn't we be suspicious?" My grandson Shentai snorted coldly.
"My subordinates don't understand."
"Yamashita Renpachi has been secretly watching Kuang Xiaoqin for a while, and there is nothing unusual about Kuang Xiaoqin. You just handed the matter over to Governor Zhao, and Kuang Xiaoqin disappeared." My grandson Shentai said, "Don't you think there is a problem?
"
"But, Cardiff Zhao and Cheng Qianfan have a grudge against their wives..." Sanshiro Sugita said.
"Yes, there are sufficient reasons for Cardiff Zhao not to be suspected, and I am inclined to believe that there is no problem with him." My grandson Shentai said, "But since there is a reason for suspicion, even if it seems that the suspicion is unreasonable
Yes, but doubt is doubt."
He said sternly, "Maybe one of Shuli Zhao's men accidentally exposed the news, maybe there is something wrong with Shuli Zhao himself, maybe it's just that Kuang Xiaoqin is vigilant and realizes that she is being targeted, but -"
My grandson Shinta said, "Sugita, remember, the Chinese are Chinese. When we use them, we must guard against them. As long as they are not from the empire, there should be no suspicion, and there should be no chance of taking any chances."
"I understand." Sanshiro Sugita thought with a serious expression.
…
The next day.
"Calling you here with a phone call didn't delay Mr. Cheng's search for your beauty, right?" Liu Xia looked at Cheng Qianfan who came in and said with a smile.
Cheng Qianfan knew that Liu Xia was making fun of Kuang Xiaoqin, so he smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Xia, come and make fun of me too."
"Have you found anyone?" Liu Xia asked.
Cheng Qianfan shook his head.
"Okay, business is important." Liu Xia said, "You can tidy up after you go back today and follow me to Nanjing tomorrow."
