As soon as Sanbonjiro spoke, Cheng Qianfan immediately understood why Araki Harima was able to accurately grasp his whereabouts and successfully 'intercept' him midway.
Araki Harima already knew that he had gone to the Target Range Prison, and then blocked him on his way back to Yandri from the Target Range Prison.
He was thinking whether the Special High School knew what he was doing after leaving the shooting range prison:
Did Araki Harima directly judge that he would go home from prison, so he waited for him on the way; or did Araki Harima know that he had met with a subordinate at Karen's Cafe after leaving the shooting range prison.
Cheng Qianfan met with his subordinates in private, which was not suspicious in itself. What he was worried about was that Hao Zai would come into Araki Harima's sight.
There is another question: why did the Special High School Division learn that he went to the Target Range Prison?
It was the Special Higher Education Department that had been secretly monitoring Liu Bo, or it could be said that they were secretly monitoring the Target Range Prison.
Or maybe the Japanese are actually paying more attention to Inspector Xiao Cheng in private and are secretly spying on him.
"Yes, Section Chief." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "Qin Detai gave me an envelope with a sum of money on the front and asked me to give it to Liu Bo's wife and children, and allowed me to take them to visit the prison."
Sanbenjilang stared at Cheng Qianfan with his large mung bean eyes and asked immediately, "What you are saying is that Qin Detai gave you a sum of money. This money is for Liu Bo's wife and children."
"Yes, I heard that Liu Bo's wife and children were not happy with their lives, so they gave her the settlement allowance," Cheng Qianfan said.
"How much?" Sanbonjiro asked immediately.
"Five hundred French coins." Cheng Qianfan blurted out, "In addition, I personally also took two hundred French coins."
"Did you open the envelope and read it? There are indeed five hundred French coins inside?" Sanbonjiro immediately asked.
"No." Cheng Qianfan shook his head.
When Sanbonjiro heard this, he was both happy and regretful.
Fortunately, Sanbonjiro has grown up. Normally, Kentaro Miyazaki should not peek at the envelope. If Tan Detai marks the envelope, it will be bad.
Of course, from the bottom of his heart, Sanbonjiro wanted Miyazaki Kentaro to take a peek. Especially for Sanbonjiro, who was full of doubts at this time, the envelopes given by Qin Detai to Liu Bo's wife and children might be able to provide some supporting evidence and
information.
"You don't need to look at it at all, I just need to reach out and touch it." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "Just pinch it, and I will know that there are banknotes inside, and it is five hundred French coins."
Sanbonjiro took a deep look at Cheng Qianfan and wanted to curse, but in the end he just shook his head.
I almost forgot that Miyazaki is extremely greedy and has an extraordinary sensitivity to money.
"Miyazaki-kun, Qin Detai suddenly gave Liu Bo's wife and children this settlement allowance. In your opinion, are there any problems with this?" Sanbonjiro asked quietly.
Cheng Qianfan did not answer immediately, he was thinking.
Suddenly, the expression on his face changed, as if he had thought of something.
"Originally I didn't think too much about it, but after the section chief reminded me, after thinking about it again, it was indeed a bit unusual." Cheng Qianfan looked at Sanbonjiro with an expression of admiration.
"Liu Bo was imprisoned and sentenced last year. At that time, Qin Detai said nothing. It can even be said that he was disgusted with Liu Bo, who was accused of being a 'red party', and tried his best to avoid suspicion." Cheng Qianfan paused and answered while thinking.
attitude.
"Now, Qin Detai suddenly became concerned about Liu Bo's situation again, especially the settlement allowance, which was nearly a year late. It's really weird." He looked like he suddenly had an epiphany after being prompted, and looked at Sanbonjiro with admiration.
Sanbonjiro looked at Cheng Qianfan helplessly.
Although Kentaro Miyazaki is not a professional agent, he is very smart and a promising talent.
It's just that this guy may have been affected by the atmosphere of the patrol room and subconsciously said some flattering words.
This is very bad.
"If you want to smoke, just say it." Sanbonjiro took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer and threw it directly to Cheng Qianfan with a smile, "Yes, my words have inspired you."
"It's all under the guidance of the section chief." Cheng Qianfan took the cigarette and put it in his pocket.
"Miyazaki-kun, what do you think of Tan Detai?" Sanbonjiro flipped through a document at his hand and raised his head and asked.
"Qin Detai is an old-school patrolman. He was able to climb from a third-class Chinese policeman to the most important Central District Chief Inspector of the French Concession. This in itself is enough to show what a powerful person he is." Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression, "This
The old guy is very resourceful, cunning, and ruthless. Besides..."
"I mean, Qin Detai's political leanings." Sanbonjiro interrupted Cheng Qianfan, stood up, closed the document in his hand, and asked, "In other words, what kind of person is he?"
"It's hard to say that this person has a good relationship with the national government." Cheng Qianfan thought for a while and said, "However, one thing worth noting is that this person seems to have a bad attitude towards the Red Party, but in private, this person's attitude towards the Red Party
Show reserved kindness.”
As he said that, Cheng Qianfan himself shook his head and said thoughtfully, "Search, my subordinates can't see through this person. Qin Detai may be from the government, or he may be a man with two legs, or he may even be a member of the French army."
The concession authorities, the national government, and the Red Party are all betting on this."
"Why do you think that Qin Detai just bet on the red party, but did not judge that Qin Detai was a red party?" Sanbenjiroga said.
"Qin Detai has three concubines." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "The Red Party is not lewd and does not play with women."
Sanbonjiro nodded and looked at Kentaro Miyazaki, "Miyazaki-kun, you have indeed made great progress. Your analysis and consideration of problems are more comprehensive. It's true that I have always valued you very much."
"It's all because of your good teaching, principal." Cheng Qianfan quickly bowed and said respectfully.
"Hahaha." Sanbonjiro laughed and seemed very happy. He walked out of the desk, walked over, and patted Cheng Qianfan on the shoulder.
Cheng Qianfan lowered his body, and his natural movements allowed Sanbonjiro to shoot more comfortably.
"Look at these documents." Sanbonjiro turned around, took a pile of documents on his desk, and handed them to Cheng Qianfan.
Cheng Qianfan took the information, read it carefully, and figured it out.
"Qin Detai is actually the deputy director of the Shanghai Special Economic Zone of the Party Affairs Investigation Office?" Cheng Qianfan raised his head in surprise and looked at Sanbonjiro.
"The identity of Qin Detai was confessed by Cao Yu, and the authenticity of the confession has been confirmed through other channels." Sanbonjiro said, "Cao Yu is actually an agent developed by Qin Detai personally. Only Cao Yu himself and the Party Affairs Investigation Department can do this.
The two senior officials in Nanjing know."
Cheng Qianfan showed an expression of extreme surprise. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I guessed that Qin Detai might be someone from the government, but I didn't expect that his true identity turned out... I was really surprised."
"Yeah, we didn't expect that the Chief Inspector of the Central District of the French Concession would be the number two figure in the National Party Affairs Investigation Office in Shanghai." Mimotojiro also said with emotion, but his emotion was more like a
A kind of showing off.
Mastering the identity of the No. 2 person in the National Government's Party Affairs Investigation Department is definitely extremely valuable information and can be regarded as a great achievement.
In the best-case scenario, using Qin Detai's lead, it might even be possible to wipe out the entire Shanghai District of the Party Affairs Investigation Office.
Sanbonjiro was secretly pleased with himself, and Cheng Qianfan naturally gave him a more appropriate flattery.
"The section chief deserves to be the section chief." Cheng Qianfan gave a thumbs up.
It's not that his flattery is harsh, it's that at this moment, such flattery is more suitable for Sanbonjiro.
When you show complacency on the peak, that feeling of pride is like the old sauerkraut gurgling water in the sauerkraut jar. At this time, you must simmer over high heat, otherwise the coordination will not be in place.
…
"Nani!" Cheng Qianfan exclaimed.
What Sanbonjiro gave him were two documents.
One is about Qin Detai. To be precise, it is the information related to Qin Detai in Cao Yu's confession.
Another one turned out to be about Kazuo Qingtian, the owner of the Qingtian dress shop on Disiwei Road, Hongkou District, the public concession:
This is Kazuo Aoda's profile.
Of course, this is definitely not the complete file information. This is the information that Sanbonjiro thinks can be shown to Cheng Qianfan.
"Kazuo Qingtian is actually an imperial agent?" Cheng Qianfan looked extremely surprised, even more surprised than he had just learned that Tan Detai was the deputy director of the Shanghai Special Administrative Region of the National Party Affairs Investigation Office.
Seeing Cheng Qianfan's extremely surprised expression, Sanbonjiro's expression was gloomy.
Not angry at Cheng Qianfan, but angry and sorry for the 'murder' of Kazuo Qingtian.
Even Kentaro Miyazaki, who is good at building relationships with all kinds of people and has a lot of connections and energy in Shanghai, never thought that Kazuo Aota was a Japanese agent. It is conceivable how successful Kazuo Aota was in concealing his identity.
"Yes, Qingtian-kun is an excellent agent of the empire." Sanbonjiro sighed.
Cheng Qianfan looked shocked and sad, "I can't believe that I just misunderstood Mr. Qingtian because he was too friendly to the Chinese people."
He paused for a moment, with admiration in his eyes, "Who would have thought that Mr. Qingtian, who is so friendly in the eyes of the Chinese people, would actually be an interrogation expert."
Cheng Qianfan picked up the file and took another look at it. When he saw the photo attached to the file, he shook his head and showed a puzzled expression, "Judging from the file and what I said, Shanghai citizens' impressions and attitudes towards Mr. Qingtian."
Look, he hides it very well."
He looked at Sanbonjiro, "Section Chief, it's strange. How could Mr. Qingtian be exposed when he was hiding so well? I read the introduction in the newspaper about the case of Di Siweilu. The murderer was directly targeting Mr. Qingtian."
I went there with a very clear purpose.”
"Yes." Sanbonjiro nodded, "How could Aota Kazuo be exposed so well when he hid it so well?"
Saying that, Sanbonjiro suddenly asked Cheng Qianfan, "You went to visit Liu Bo in prison today. What did you say?"
"Search, it was I who took Liu Bo's wife and children to visit the prison." Cheng Qianfan looked at Sanbonjiro with some confusion, not understanding that he jumped so quickly to change the subject, but he continued to explain, "I did not go to visit the prison.
Wait for them in the office."
"Why didn't you go in?" Sanbonjiro asked.
"To avoid suspicion, I will try my best to stay away from Liu Bo, who is considered a red party member, and Seto-kun's true identity," Cheng Qianfan said.
He thought for a while, showed a thoughtful expression, and said, "However, Liu Bo told me through his wife that he wanted to see me."
"Did you go to see him?" Sanbonjiro asked.
"No, I left a sum of money and told the prison guards to take better care of him." Cheng Qianfan said, "The Chinese man Cheng Qianfan had a good relationship with Liu Bo before, so even though it was to avoid suspicion, I couldn't do nothing."
"Your handling method is correct." Sanbonjiro said, "However, it would be better if you went to see Liu Bo today."
Cheng Qianfan was a little confused and didn't understand what Sanbonjiro meant by what he said.
"Section Chief, are you worried that Mr. Seto will be extradited successfully by the government?" Cheng Qianfan asked his guess.
"Miyazaki-kun, how do you think Aota Kazuo's identity was revealed?" Mimotojiro asked without answering.
"It's difficult to detect." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "Qingtian-Jun is well hidden, which makes it more difficult for us to detect the reason why he was exposed, because he is so careful, so the problem must be Wei
It’s more difficult to deal with details that cannot be checked.”
Cheng Qianfan grabbed his chin with his right hand and thought, "Only those who know Mr. Qingtian best can know some of his details. Therefore, I have an idea to find someone who is familiar with Mr. Qingtian to help us analyze and investigate this matter."
thing."
"How is Seto Inchi River?" Sanbonjiro asked with a calm face, "Seto-kun is from Kanagawa, Kanto, and is the same hometown as Aota-kun."
"Setouchi River and Aoda Kazuo are from the same hometown?" Cheng Qianfan was very surprised.
"Yes, one of them is from Yokohama and the other is from Kamakura. The ancestors of Setouchi River are all fishermen, and Kazuo Aoda's father is a tailor." Mimoto Jiro said.
"But Seto-kun has been imprisoned in the shooting range prison for almost a year." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "Seto-kun may not know the current Qingtian-kun very well. Otherwise, we can arrange for a suitable person to visit the prison.
Ask Seto-kun."
"It is true that Liu Bo may not know much about the situation before Kazuo Aoda was killed, but -" Mimotojiro sneered, "the leaker does not need to know this."
"The leaker?" Cheng Qianfan looked at Sanbonjiro blankly, "Section Chief, do you suspect that Seto-kun leaked Aota-kun's identity?"
Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "This is impossible, there is no reason, Liu Bo has no reason to do this, he will not do it without strong enough reasons and interests."
Cheng Qianfan was extremely shocked and surprised inside. This time he was not pretending to be shocked.
Sanbonjiro actually suspected that it was Liu Bo. No, to be precise, it was Sanbonjiro who suspected that Seto Uchigawa was the leaker and leaked the identity of Kazuo Aota.
This really shocked Cheng Qianfan:
His facial expression was so shocked.
His heart was simply filled with joy.
Then, Cheng Qianfan immediately changed his mind and did not mention Seto Uchigawa. He decisively spoke up and defended Liu Bo.
