Chapter 309 Suspicion (3rd update leader [Uncle Loves Traveling] 5/6 Please give me a full monthly ticket)
"Araki, are you sure Seto Uchigawa didn't mention this to you?" Mimotojiro asked with a serious expression.
Araki Harima recalled it carefully and shook his head, "Indeed not. I remember clearly that Seto-kun did not mention that Cao Yu called him 'Comrade Yu Chang'."
Sanbonjiro's expression became solemn.
Cao Yuyan said there was evidence to prove that Liu Bo admitted that he was a 'fish intestine'.
This surprised Jiro Sanbon. His first reaction was that the agent of the Party Affairs Investigation Department was extremely stupid:
Cao Yu's so-called evidence was most likely arranged by the Red Party. Until now, this person still doesn't know it.
However, Sanbonjiro still listened patiently to Cao Yu's confession.
One of the evidences mentioned by Cao Yu:
He and Liu Bo had a secret conversation.
However, Sanbonjiro asked about the so-called code words in detail, and it seemed that there was no problem.
However, the person who designed this code word was actually very cunning, because Liu Bo would always get it right no matter what he answered.
The cunning Red Party took advantage of the subconscious identification of the Party Affairs Investigation Office, or the tendency to believe that Liu Bo was a "fish intestine", and set up this code word.
And this code word is not to confirm whether Liu Bo is a "Yuchang". The code word itself is to arrange a connection between Cao Yu, a "red party", and "Yuchang" in order to gain mutual trust.
This in itself is the prerequisite for confirming that Liu Bo is a 'fish intestine'.
It is difficult for the people in the game not to be fooled because of this series of psychological suggestions.
However, Sanbonjiro is an outsider, and Seto Uchigawa is an imperial latent agent, not a red party member. Precisely because he knows that "Liu Bo" cannot be a red party member, Sanbonjiro will not be confused.
He was keenly aware that there was something wrong with this so-called 'code word'.
As a bystander, Sanbonjiro saw clearly, and he had to admit that the red party who set up this 'trap' was very good at figuring out the opponent's psychology, and used it to set up a trap.
Therefore, the evidence given by Cao Yuyan that Liu Bo admitted that he was a "fish intestine" is untenable.
…
The problem arises in the second piece of evidence that Cao Yu confessed.
Cao Yuyan said that when he visited the prison for the first time, he personally called Liu Bo "Comrade Yu Chang" when leaving.
Liu Bo did not have a clear response to this title at the time.
This seems to be no problem.
However, the problem arises here.
Because Araki Harima later went to visit Seto Uchigawa at the Target Range Prison in the French Concession.
Seto Uchigawa took the initiative to report that Cao Yu, a member of the Red Party, came to visit him and said that he would step up efforts to rescue him.
However, Seto Uchigawa did not mention that Cao Yu called him "Comrade Yu Chang" when he visited the prison for the first time.
This is a problem.
Sanbonjiro thought carefully, then he lit a cigarette with a red-hot iron, took a deep breath and removed most of the cigarette.
The ideas in my mind gradually became clear.
…
Sanbonjiro believes that there are three possibilities for this matter:
First, Setouchi Chuan forgot this "little thing" because Cao Yu also confessed that he was only visiting the prison for the first time. When leaving, he called Liu Bo "Comrade Yu Chang" in a low voice and never mentioned this name again.
Therefore, there is a possibility that Seto Uchigawa did not notice this detail, so when Araki Harima visited the prison, Seto Uchigawa forgot this small detail.
However, Mimotojiro feels that this situation is less likely. Based on his understanding of Seto Uchigawa, especially the analytical ability displayed by Seto Uchigawa, it is unlikely that Seto will ignore this seemingly unimportant situation.
In fact, it contains important information.
There is another possibility that Seto Uchigawa did not forget this detail, but for some unknown reason, he did not take the initiative to report the matter to Araki Harima, and he hid it!
If this is the case, it would be intriguing.
Why did Setouchi River hide it?
No matter which angle you analyze it from, Seto Uchigawa, as a latent agent of the empire, has no reason to hide this matter.
unless--
Seto Uchigawa is disloyal to the Empire?!
…
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Cao Yu lied. He did not call Liu Bo "Comrade Yu Chang"!
Cao Yu only said this deliberately to win their trust and not to be tortured again.
Sanbonjiro glanced at Cao Yu, who was scarred and frightened.
"I want to know if he is telling the truth." Sanbonjiro said to Araki Harima.
"Yes!" Araki Harima bowed and nodded.
Araki Harima’s method of confirming whether Cao Yu lied was very simple and crude:
The leather whip dipped in salt water was whipped sharply.
"it is true!"
"Don't dare lie!"
"I'm very honest!"
Screaming repeatedly, Cao Yu became incontinent and passed out.
After being splashed with cold water and woke up, Araki Harima asked the same question continuously and got the same answer.
"Section Chief, this Chinese man doesn't seem to be lying." Araki Harima reported.
Sanbonjiro's face was extremely gloomy, he would rather Cao Yu lied.
Because once it is proven that Cao Yu did not lie, it will prove that Setouchi Chuan lied.
Why did Seto Uchigawa lie?
Why hide it?
For the secret service, lying and concealment are taboo and absolutely cannot be tolerated, and can even be regarded as disloyalty and betrayal!
Sanbonjiro's expression changed and his eyes flashed:
Did Seto Uchigawa really betray the empire?
Is he really...actually like Cao Yu said, this person is the Red Party's ace agent 'Yuchang'?
…
Sanbonjiro's face was gloomy and uncertain, and his thoughts were swirling rapidly in his mind.
The Red Party knew that Liu Bo was not a Red Party member, so they deliberately set a trap and used Liu Bo, the "fake Red Party criminal", to test Cao Yu - this analysis first came from the Seto Uchigawa River.
Once upon a time, Mimoto Jiro admired this analysis very much, and then also admired Seto Uchigawa's ability.
However, now something new has emerged:
If Seto Uchigawa betrayed the empire, his current identity is the ace agent of the Red Party Special Branch, "Yishang".
So, this incident itself is most likely not that the Red Party is testing Cao Yu, but that the Red Party indeed arranged for Cao Yu to participate in the rescue of 'Yuchang'.
The Red Party did not know that Cao Yu was an agent of the National Party Affairs Investigation Bureau who infiltrated the Red Party, which eventually led to the leakage of the identity of an extremely important Red Party ace agent like "Yuchang".
The national government was overjoyed. They secretly conducted public relations and finally persuaded the French Concession to agree to extradite Liu Bo.
Because of this, when the Red Party learned that the identity of "Yuchang" was leaked, they immediately suspected Cao Yu, arrested and interrogated Cao Yu, and finally confirmed that Cao Yu's true identity was a latent agent of the Party Affairs Investigation Department.
Sanbonjiro's face became increasingly gloomy. If we follow this analysis and reasoning——
It seems to be the most common sense and closest to the truth:
The Red Party is not as cunning as he thought.
There is no such thing as a Red Party master who is good at analyzing the opponent's psychology and has perfect strategies.
The real situation is that as he just analyzed, the stupid Red Party was infiltrated by the Party Affairs Investigation Department without knowing it.
It wasn't until they learned that "Yuchang"'s identity was leaked and he was about to be extradited that the Red Party woke up from a dream and discovered Cao Yu, a latent agent.
"Asshole!" Sanbonjiro gritted his teeth angrily.
If a high-level latent agent who betrays the empire appears in his hands, this person may even become the ace agent of the Red Party.
It is conceivable that this person must have betrayed the interests of the empire for a long time.
This incident is a great shame for Shanghai Special Higher Education Courses!
It must be a big stain on his resume as Sanbonjiro!
…
"Araki-kun, go find Miyazaki-kun." Sanbonjiro left the interrogation room, took Araki Harima to his office, and ordered with a gloomy expression.
Although half a year after Kentaro Miyazaki pretended to be Cheng Qianfan, Liu Bo was arrested and imprisoned.
However, relatively speaking, Kentaro Miyazaki is the person who knows Liu Bo best in Shanghai Special Higher Education School.
He needs to learn more about the situation from Kentaro Miyazaki.
"Now?" Araki Harima asked.
"Tomorrow at noon, during his lunch break." Sanbonjiro thought for a while and said, although he was anxious, he did not lose his sense of proportion.
It is night now, and Kentaro Miyazaki has a Chinese wife and children at home (PS1). If he goes to find Kentaro Miyazaki rashly, it will easily bring safety risks to Kentaro Miyazaki.
