Chapter 432 Mr. Xiao (please subscribe and ask for monthly tickets)
Based on Cheng Qianfan's understanding of Imamura Hitaro, Imamura is a person who seems honest but is actually greedy.
Or, to put it more objectively, Imamura Hitaro is a person with a clear distinction between public and private.
Yu Gong, this is an excellent diplomat who is deeply influenced by Japanese germism and has great abilities.
In private, although Imamura Hitotaro's desire for money is very hidden, this desire is very simple and serious.
With Cheng Qianfan deliberately implying in words, Imamura Hitaro could not have known that Cheng Qianfan captured Akagi Kwan in order to ask for money from Aka Guofu.
With Imamura's greed, even if he asked Cheng Qianfan to release Akagi Jun, he would definitely suggest that Cheng Qianfan could ask Chi Guofu for some money.
Perhaps Chi Guofu has secretly given the money from Imura, but this is not a conflict. Imura can make another money from the money Xiao Cheng makes.
It is just a Chinese businessman. It is very common for the Empire to take some money from him to take this as a filial piety. I believe Chi Guofu should be mentally prepared.
But, it's strange that it's strange here.
Imamura Hitaro said directly that he would release the person, and didn't say much else.
Looking at this matter simply, it seems that Chi Guofu is very important in the mind of Imamura, but it is contradictory to the attitude towards Chi Guofu in the later words of Imamura.
In addition, Chi Guofu knew that his son was arrested by the police station and had never come to the police station to "negotiate" the conditions for releasing people. He actually directly asked diplomats from the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, which was contrary to common sense.
Cheng Qianfan took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and used a cigarette butt to counter the fire.
Throw the cigarette butt out casually.
Chi Guofu's family successfully aroused his greater interest.
There are many businessmen like Chi Guofu who are close to the Japanese, and there will be more in the future, which is not enough to arouse the strong interest of "Mr. Xiao".
Or, to be more precise, Akagitofu's Japanese wife aroused his intense interest.
Intuition told him that the request received by Imamura Hitotaro was not from Akagitofu, but from this mysterious Japanese woman.
The reason why it is said to be "mysterious" is because Akagifu's Japanese wife rarely appears in public. There are many rumors about this woman, including many romantic news in bed. However, most of them are rumors and there is no real evidence. And very few people have actually seen this Japanese woman.
Cheng Qianfan even had a vague guess that the one who really made the decision in Chi Guofu's family might not be this Mr. Chi Guofu, but this Japanese wife.
...
Nanjing, the leader’s residence.
Wang Zhihe smoked and chatted with Qian Dajun in the corridor.
"There must be Japanese spies lurking inside the top government officials. These bastards secretly informed them, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence." Wang Zhihe said angrily.
A few days ago, the Chairman secretly set out from Nanjing, passed through Suzhou, arrived at the Huashan Front, summoned the frontline generals to boost the morale of the army.
On the way back, a Japanese bomber suddenly flew to Suzhou Railway Station. If it weren't for its hiddenness, Chang Kaishen ordered another special train to avoid the investigation of Japanese military aircraft.
If the bomb falls, the consequences will be unimaginable.
In addition, the railway station has poor light control. When Japanese military aircraft flew in, the lights flickered, which looked like sending signals to Japanese bombers in the air.
This also made Wang Zhihe very angry, and he insisted that the railway station was connected to the enemy.
However, it was later found that the train station staff had no problems, because the quality of the light bulb was problematic, but they found a big rat who used inferior products as good ones and secretly dug up state public property.
Regarding the sudden flight of Japanese bombers to Suzhou Railway Station, Wang Zhihe firmly believed that this was not an accident. It must have been the Japanese who discovered that the commission was heading to the Shanghai front line in advance, so they sent bombers.
Perhaps it was because it was impossible to determine when the commission's office arrived at Suzhou Railway Station, and the Japanese were afraid of cleaning the snake, so they did not drop bombs.
"The itinerary of the commissioner is highly confidential, but it is leaked repeatedly, which is really chilling." Qian Dajun said.
"Traitors are the most hateful." Wang Zhihe cursed, "Because the government has been willing to resist Japan in the past few years, there have been more and more traitors, and some bastards are just a shameful person. Seeing the prestige of being traitors, they fight to sell their country and become traitors. Now it can be said that they are hard to guard against."
I heard that Wang Zhihe used his previous attitude towards Japan, but Qian Dajun didn't say anything, thinking that it was Wang Zhihe. If others said this, they would have been kicked out of the attendant's room by the commissioner, and even the law would have been done.
"No, I want to talk to the chairman. Dai Chunfeng and Xue Yingzeng are incompetent and cannot count on him. He must strengthen the security work in the attendant's room." Wang Zhihe threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on his leather shoes and turned around and left.
Qian Dajun looked at Wang Zhihe's back and shook his head. A few days ago, Wang Zhihe reported to Xue Yingzeng and Dai Chunfeng, which made the two of them scolded by the commissioner.
In other words, Wang Zhihe is the old man around the Commissioner and is deeply trusted by the Commissioner. If someone else offended Xue Yingzeng and Dai Chunfeng at the same time, he would probably not be able to sleep well.
...
"Is there any movement?" Gu Zhenglun asked in a deep voice.
"The target is normal, no action."
The feedback made Gu Zhenglun very anxious, and Dai Chunfeng and Xue Yingzeng also frowned.
The military police organs of the Nanjing Military Police Command, Dai Chunfeng's Secret Service, and Xue Yingzeng's Party Investigation Office, worked together to carry out 24-hour surveillance on Huang Jun.
Five days have passed.
Huang Jun still did not have any abnormal behavior.
"So, it was just a coincidence that the Commissioner encountered Japanese bombers at Suzhou Railway Station four days ago?" Dai Chunfeng said in contemplation.
"Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's not." Xue Yingzeng shook his head, "If it's not a coincidence, and there's no abnormality on Huang Jun's side, does this mean that our judgment is wrong? Huang Jun has no problem?"
Dai Chunfeng glanced at Xue Yingzeng and said nothing.
Intuition told him that Huang Jun was the traitor.
Now it seems that the other party is even more cunning than he expected. Huang Jun must have an extremely secret information transmission channel that has not been discovered yet.
"Continue to monitor, if there is a slack person to indulge the enemy, they will be engaged in military law." Gu Zhenglun gave an order and said, "I don't believe this guy doesn't go out of the hole!"
He agreed with Dai Chunfeng's judgment, and the most likely person to be a traitor is Huang Jun!
...
French Concession.
The Japanese brutal bombardment of Shanghai South Station four days ago caused nearly a thousand civilians to be killed or injured.
The impact of this incident was extremely bad.
Not to mention the official negotiations, the most direct reaction of Shanghai citizens to this is:
Fear!
Cheng Qianfan, dressed as "Mr. Xiao", sat in the rickshaw and watched the "scenery" along the way:
There are very few pedestrians on the street, and the lights along the way are also sparse.
It was rumored on the street that Japanese people would throw bombs when they saw lights at night. People were panicked for a while. Some citizens got off work late and even dared not make fires to cook.
In view of this, the French Concession authorities have been refuting rumors in the past two days, saying that France is the most powerful country in Europe, and that the Japanese dare not offend France, let alone attack the French Concession. Please ask the citizens of the French Concession not to panic.
"Sir, Wufuli has arrived."
Cheng Qianfan muttered, nodded, got off the car, paid the fare, got off the car with a wooden box, and went straight into the alley.
About five minutes later, he returned from the alley and turned directly to another alley. After wandering around, he came to a secret stronghold on Taulphis Road.
Cheng Qianfan observed carefully and did not see a warning signal. He knocked on the door according to the agreed secret code.
The door opened, and Haozai was relieved to see that "Mr. Xiao" arrived on time.
The two looked at each other, and Cheng Qianfan flashed in.
Ying Huaizhen had arrived early. Seeing Haozai coming in with "Mr. Xiao", she quickly stood up to greet her.
Cheng Qianfan was very cautious. He prepared three hidden strongholds, such as the stronghold on Taulphes Road, which was only Haozai, and Ying Huaizhen knew about before.
Only Li Hao, Jiang Mule, Xiao Taoist and others knew about the other hidden stronghold.
There is another stronghold, only Qiao Chuntao, Yang Changnian, Wu Shunjia and others know about it.
This move can minimize the enemy's slaughter.
"General Affairs Ying, I have been ordering you to approach Cheng Qianfan for a while. How is the progress?" Cheng Qianfan looked at Ying Huaizhen and asked.
