Song Fuguo had notified Cheng Qianfan in advance that he did not need to participate in the assassination of Zhou Huaigu.
The reason is very simple.
The 'China-Japan Friendship Seminar' here was not arranged in the French Concession.
In the battle for the "host", the French lost to the British and Americans who had better relations with the Japanese.
The seminar was arranged in the British and American public concessions.
Song Fuguo had the authority to ask Cheng Qianfan to assist in this operation because he predicted that the Japanese would arrange the seminar in the French Concession.
This is Cheng Qianfan's territory, and it will be much more convenient to have Cheng Qianfan's help.
There is no need to participate in the assassination of Zhou Huaigu, which is good news for Cheng Qianfan. He can appear at the seminar without distraction as Kentaro Miyazaki.
As for the list of participants on the day of the seminar, Song Fuguo delivered it as promised.
Cheng Qianfan carefully studied it and found that the list mainly includes professors from several universities in Japan and their students, as well as several Japanese scholars and literati who are already well-known in China.
At least on the surface they are all ‘pure’ scholars and literati.
Among them are the beloved disciple of the famous professor at the School of Chinese Literature of Kobe University, Hiroyuki Taniguchi and the young poet Kentaro Miyazaki.
In Shanghai in May, you can already feel the heat of summer.
Along the way, Cheng Qianfan could see that a woman wearing a beautiful cheongsam and a beautiful dress, carrying an exquisite little Kun bag, embellishing the beauty of Shanghai.
From time to time, a man who thinks he has a big wallet and a handsome man comes forward to chat with him.
Someone obtained a license to carry a bag for a woman.
Some people are rejected but are not rude. They will buy a bouquet of flowers from the children who buy flowers to make a plea for apologizing.
This move of retreating to advance was obviously effective. The lady nodded slightly and had a good impression of this gentleman.
Just when people thought they had a chance to win the beauty's peace of mind, a French-made black Ford car drove over and horns rang.
This is a young little driver who successfully invited the beautiful woman to the car. He raised his head proudly and glanced at the loser, like a monkey after successful competition for his spouse.
Watching the car carrying the beautiful woman on a ride, the man held the lady's return flowers in his hand and threw them on the ground angrily.
"It's amazing to have a car!"
...
British and American Public Concession, in the lobby of a guild on Hankou Road.
There have been long tables placed, with various desserts, fruits, candies, melon seeds, peanuts and other snacks on them.
There were already many people coming to the hall.
Today is the first day of the opening of the "China-Japan Friendship Symposium" and the Asian Peace Promotion Symposium. The organizers choose to hold it through a press conference.
The weather is already a little hot.
Lu Feng, the commander of Hankou Road in the British and American public concessions, wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The British and American public concessions have received information, and the government is very dissatisfied with Zhou Huaigu, who has been increasingly moving towards the Japanese people recently.
The Shanghai government agents have received a sanction order against Zhou Huaigu.
As the commander in charge of the safety work of the reporter's seminar at the opening ceremony of the seminar, Lu Ben is under great pressure.
To be honest, it is not welcome to the Public Concession Police Office for the voluntary invitation of this Raush-sen seminar in the public concession to be held in the public concession.
Everyone knows what the nature of this so-called "China-Japan Friendship Seminar" is. This is a traitor gathering, so naturally everyone has no good feelings.
In addition, the police are also worried that security issues will be held accountable, and they are even more worried that the National Government agents will be accidentally injured when sanctioning traitors.
But there is no way, everyone is serving the jobs of British and Americans.
"Cheng Qianfan, what are he here to do?"
I was surprised to see a very handsome man in a suit and ties get off the rickshaw, stalking with his head held high and stalked, and the policeman in the public concession who was in charge of the guards of the public concession.
"Officer Cheng, please stay." A policeman came forward and reached out to stop him.
"Who are you? Why stop me?" Kentaro Miyazaki frowned and said.
"Oh, have you even spoke Japanese?" The policeman sneered and said sarcastically.
"Please get out of here!" Kentaro Miyazaki said coldly.
"What happened?" Lu Ben noticed the movement here and hurried over to inquire.
"President Commander, Cheng Qianfan from the French Concession..." The policeman covered his mouth and whispered to Lu Ben while talking.
"This police officer, can I go in?" Kentaro Miyazaki raised his chin slightly and said coldly.
Lu Ben listened to his subordinates' reports and turned his head to read.
What is this guy Cheng Qianfan doing?
This was his first reaction.
...
At this moment, the other party spoke.
Looking at the arrogant look of "Cheng Qianfan", Lu Ben felt a sudden heart:
No, this person looks very similar to Cheng Qianfan, but this is not Cheng Qianfan.
Expression, eyes, expression!
Or the most intuitive thing:
People have different temperaments.
He has seen that guy Cheng Qianfan. He is talented, but he is not the kind of arrogant young man who is particular about doing things and knows how to do things.
The look of the guy in front of him made Lu Ben feel uncomfortable, it was a look of contempt.
This look reminded Lu Ben that once he arrested a Japanese man. A staff member of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai came to the police station and took away the Japanese man with pride:
In despise, they regard this land and the Chinese who have lived for generations on this land as inferior to them, or even as slaves who can be enslaved at will!
"Sir, please show your invitation?" Lu Ben said calmly, holding back his anger.
"Thank you for your hard work, please check it out." Kentaro Miyazaki nodded slightly arrogantly but politely, and gave the invitation letter with fluent Northern Mandarin.
Kobe University, Kentaro Miyazaki!
Seeing the Japanese name on the invitation letter, Lu Ben immediately confirmed that he had made a mistake. This guy was not Cheng Qianfan, he was really a Japanese.
I used to hear that some people looked very similar, but I didn’t see each other in person. I didn’t expect that there was such a similar person!
Moreover, this guy clearly speaks Chinese, but when he was stopped by the police, he deliberately spoke Japanese and did not speak Chinese.
"Mr. Kentaro Miyazaki, please." Lu Ben reached out and asked.
"It's a good idea." Kentaro Miyazaki took the invitation letter and put it in his inner pocket. He took two steps, but stopped and stared at Lu Ben's eyes. "This police officer, your eyes hide anger, I don't like it very much."
After saying that, Kentaro Miyazaki smiled slightly, nodded politely, and strided into the guild hall.
"What's going on? Is there something wrong?" Imamura Hitaro, deputy consul of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, led the two of them to come in a hurry and directly asked Lu Ben.
The guild hall has three entrances in front, back and left. Due to insufficient staff, the entrance on the left did not have time to arrange Japanese staff. He just brought people here.
"Nothing." Lu Ben said in a humble and arrogant manner, "My subordinates don't understand Japanese. They have a little misunderstanding. It's okay."
Imamura Hitaro glanced at the Chinese inspector, nodded, arranged a subordinate to welcome the guests here, and strolled into the guild hall by himself.
...
Kentaro Miyazaki who entered the venue was very quiet. He found a place that was not too remote but could still be alone. He picked up a leaflet on the table and pretended to be boring to read it, but in fact he was observing.
There is a group of Chinese journalists on the left, whispering something.
Three big British or Americans laughed, not knowing what they were talking about not far away.
There was a young couple talking softly, and this should be a newly married man and woman. The restlessness and sweetness of the newly married were released in every move:
No, Cheng Qianfan corrected his judgment. This was a pair of dogs who had just hooked up.
There were faint kiss marks on the woman's fair chest, and the man's hands kept rubbing the woman's buttocks.
