When Cheng Qianfan heard this, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Hyōtaro Imamura looked at the surprised Kentaro and took two steps back and bowed deeply to him.
"Teacher Taniguchi spent half his life working hard for the great cause of the empire, but unfortunately he died in a foreign land." Cheng Qianfan's eyes were filled with tears.
"Taniguchi-sensei has always paid attention to appearance, etiquette, and even more importantly, face."
"Now that the teacher is treated with such courtesy, as a like-minded person, and as an important minister of the empire, he must be extremely satisfied."
Seeing Kentaro Miyazaki with tears in his eyes, Hyoutarou Imamura felt happy and satisfied. Kentaro is a very emotional person.
"Your identity is extremely concealed, and it is inconvenient to bid farewell to Mr. Taniguchi as a disciple." Hyōtaro Imamura said thoughtfully, "After the mourning hall is set up the day after tomorrow, you can express your condolences in the name of the patrol house in the central area of the French Concession."
"Yes, students understand." Cheng Qianfan nodded and then sighed, with a look of regret in his eyes.
Hyōtaro Imamura understood his feelings and patted his shoulder, "Although you cannot say goodbye to Miyazaki-kun publicly as a student and as a disciple, you must be able to understand Taniguchi-kun that you send him off as a disciple in your heart.
.”
"That's all." Cheng Qianfan nodded with emotion, "I hope Teacher Taniguchi won't blame me."
…
Bai Ruolan looked at her husband.
The news that Mr. Xiao Cheng was assassinated in front of Xianshi Department Store had already spread widely.
Although Cheng Qianfan had called him before to tell him that he was fine, how could Bai Ruolan not be worried.
At this moment, she felt relieved when she saw Cheng Qianfan standing fully in front of her.
The pregnant wife hugged her husband.
Hug tightly.
She didn't say anything, but she seemed to have said everything.
Cheng Qianfan wanted to ask, 'Why haven't you rested so late?', but when the words came to his lips, he kissed his wife's forehead and said, "I'm going to wash my face and feet. I'm a little tired today and very sleepy."
He originally planned to think about something quietly in the study alone when he came back.
Cheng Qianfan finished washing.
At this moment, Cheng Qianfan was lying on the bed. He glanced at the sleeping Ruolan, whose eyebrows were filled with relief and joy. His whole body and mind also rarely relaxed. At this moment, he finally let go of him temporarily.
Carrying so many heavy responsibilities, tasks and pressures, it felt like there were only him and Ruolan in the world.
…
Xiao Cheng from the patrol room in the central area of the French Concession was assassinated by Fang Hui, a subordinate of Xia Wenqiao, a member of the Youth Gang. Xiao Cheng was lucky when Fang Hui's pistol jammed.
Although Mr. Xiao Cheng's "good fortune and destiny" are all right, it does not mean that this matter will be over.
Xiao Cheng was always the mastermind of the French Concession.
Brother Xia Wenqiao, the third brother of Xia Wenqiao, is a rising star of the Qinggang. He is the talker of Du Yongsheng and Boss Du's black market transactions in the French Concession.
If a direct conflict breaks out between these two people, the impact will be huge!
The entire concession, and even half of Shanghai, are paying attention to this matter. Even the bastards and bastards on the street have become much more at ease, and even the Sanguang coders who are wandering around, cheating and abducting are all honest.
Really, I am afraid that if the city gate catches fire, it will harm the fish in the pond.
Soon the news came out that a warehouse of 'Brother Xia' on Bai Saizhong Road was confiscated by Mr. Xiao Cheng's men. Several other warehouses of 'Brother Xia' were also confiscated by people from the patrol room and Mr. Xiao Cheng's men.
Monitor.
Just when everyone thought that the war was about to break out, news came that Mr. Xiao Cheng and Xia Sange shook hands and made peace, saying that the assassination was Fang Hui's personal act and was not ordered by Xia Sange. The two sides were still good friends.
.
However, in any case, Fang Hui belonged to Xia Wenqiao. In order to express his apology for this matter, Xia Wenqiao directly offered half of the goods in the cargo hold on Bai Sai Zhong Road as an apology.
Xiao Cheng finally got an apology and accepted Xia Wenqiao's personal apology. He was very reasonable and said that the matter was over now. He and Xia Sange were good friends, and good friends would not be affected by the instigation of traitors.
This seems to mean something.
Soon, there were rumors in the world that Fang Hui's assassination of Mr. Xiao Cheng was actually ordered by Zhang Xiaolin. This boss Zhang deliberately bribed Fang Hui and formulated this poisonous plan to kill two birds with one stone:
He ordered Xia Wenqiao's men to assassinate Mr. Cheng, and the assassination was successful. He, Boss Zhang, got rid of Mr. Cheng, whom he hated so much, and the patrol office would not spare Xia Wenqiao, the senior police officer of the French Concession patrol office, lightly.
If the assassination fails, Mr. Xiao Cheng will inevitably fight with Xia Wenqiao, while Boss Zhang will reap the benefits.
Once this rumor spread, it spread to everyone, and most importantly, many people believed it.
reason?
Xiao Cheng has always been a person who cherishes his life very much. Therefore, even though he is extremely greedy for money, he will not let Xia Wenqiao, who attacked him, just for the sake of half a warehouse of goods. There must be an unknown inside story to this matter. Of course, everyone is now
Everyone knows the behind-the-scenes story.
…
"Asshole, have you found out what's going on?" Zhang Xiaolin gasped in anger. There was a broken teapot at his feet.
"Boss, it's difficult to check." Zhan Si shook his head, "In almost one day, this matter spread to even the aunt who emptied the toilet knew about it."
"Who have you mentioned this to?" Zhang Xiaolin frowned and asked.
If Fang Hui kills Cheng Qianfan, or if Cheng Qianfan's people and Xia Wenqiao's people fight fiercely, he will naturally not mind letting his 'Zhuge's clever plan' spread to build momentum and dominate the world.
However, this matter fell short...
"Boss, you know that I, Si, am very strict with my mouth. Except for a few words when drinking with my brothers, I never talk nonsense."
Zhang Xiaolin slapped his forehead and glared at Zhan Si fiercely.
…
"It seems that Zhang Xiaolin hates you very much." Song Fuguo took a sip of tea and said.
"This man is extremely greedy. In fact, he is eyeing my business on the black market and the lines of communication that I have established through the French, British, Americans and even the Japanese." Cheng Qianfan said.
I had a piece of pork head meat, the bones were crunchy and crunchy.
"In addition, I always responded forcefully to his repeated provocations, which led to a deadly feud." He continued.
"Zhang Xiaolin, when Japan attacked Shanghai, he went to Mogan Mountain to escape the summer heat. When the Japanese occupied Shanghai, he came down from Mogan Mountain and blatantly became a traitor." Song Fuguo frowned and said, "This person is doing great harm.
, should be eliminated as soon as possible.”
Song Fuguo had been in charge of the intelligence work of the Shanghai Station of the Secret Service for a long time. He was well aware of the dangers of Zhang Xiaolin's defection to Japan.
This person has great energy in Shanghai, and when this energy is transformed into a traitor force, it shows great destructive power.
Zhang Xiaolin's "New Asia Peace Promotion Association" plundered supplies, harmed the countryside, and supplied the Japanese army. It can be said that its crimes are countless.
In addition, Mr. Zhang has many disciples and grandsons, especially those who penetrate deeply into the concession, which poses a great threat to the military commander's activities and lurking in the concession. On a more serious scale, this person poses a great threat to the overall anti-Japanese situation in Shanghai.
"I am not suitable to take action." Cheng Qianfan understood what Song Fuguo meant, and he shook his head, "I can kill Zhang Xiaolin's men, and even kill Zhang Xiaolin's concubines, relatives and friends, but I cannot directly attack Zhang Xiaolin."
He told Song Fuguo, "Not only can the forces on the surface not directly attack Zhang Xiaolin, but in the short term, it is also best for our department not to get involved."
"Okay." Song Fuguo thought for a moment and said, "I will call Chongqing and ask the bureau chief to urge the Shanghai Station to take action against Zhang Xiaolin."
The two of them immediately got to the most important topic.
"Is there any news about Mei Shenping and Gao Qingwu?" Song Fuguo asked.
"Not yet." Cheng Qianfan frowned and said frankly, "If these two people appear in the market, we can naturally catch their traces."
"The most rare thing is that if these two people live in a residence prepared for them by Japan and they are closely guarded to prevent prying eyes, it will be very difficult to handle." Cheng Qianfan took a sip of wine and said.
Song Fuguo clinked glasses with him with tea instead of wine and nodded, "Yes, your worry is justified, and this possibility is extremely high."
"Unless, unless it's Mei and Gao, there is a reason why they have to appear in public, so that we can..." Cheng Qianfan said, and as he spoke, his eyes began to shine.
…
"What? Is there a way?" Song Fuguo noticed the change in Cheng Qianfan's expression and asked eagerly.
"I received news that the Japanese Consulate General is arranging a mourning hall." Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully.
Song Fuguo's eyes also lit up. Being able to help the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai arrange the mourning hall, the identity of the deceased must be unusual.
"Do you know the identity of the deceased?" Song Fuguo asked.
"I don't know yet." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "However, shots were fired at the Sakura Valley Guesthouse of the Japanese Consulate General yesterday, and someone saw the injured being carried out. It may have something to do with this incident."
"Don't worry about who died. The more Japanese people die, the higher the level, the better." Song Fuguo waved his right hand and said, he smiled at Cheng Qianfan, "Your idea is very good."
Cheng Qianfan then said with a smile, "The Japanese Consulate General has set up a mourning hall for a certain 'big man'. So, judging from your understanding of the two of them, old sir, if Mei and Gao are in Shanghai and are in secret contact with Japan,
Will they go to the mourning hall to express their condolences?"
"Given the temperament of Vice President Wang's men..." Song Fuguo thought and chuckled, "It may not be possible to express condolences in public, but it is not impossible to express condolences in private."
Cheng Qianfan pondered for a moment, "I have some friendship and contact with Hyōtaro Imamura, the counselor of the Consulate General. With my status, I am barely qualified to go to the mourning hall to express my condolences."
He raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and said to Song Fuguo, "The Japanese have died of a big shot. As a friend, I called Imamura to express my concern, inquire about the identity of the deceased, and then go to the mourning hall to express my condolences in person. This is a matter of taking a boat with the current.
.”
Song Fuguo laughed heartily. Cheng Qianfan was a well-rounded man who knew how to solve problems. This guy won the trust of the French. He also had some contacts with the British and Americans, and he always showed his pro-Japanese attitude.
Looking at the entire French Concession, and even the entire Shanghai Bund, at the age of more than 20 years old, he was able to deal with the great powers, and all parties still gave him some respect. Xiao Cheng was always the only one who had the scorpion's shit.
"This is a wonderful plan." Song Fuguo nodded happily, "All we can do now is hope that Mei and Gao can act as we expected."
…
Hongkou District, super high school.
"Section Chief, we found it." Araki Harima returned from the Sakura Guesthouse and reported to Sanbonjiro in a dusty state.
"explain."
"Miyazaki-kun's observation is very meticulous, and Yami Shoji really has something to hide." Araki Harima said, "Yami Shoji once left the guest house privately and went out for a period of time."
"How long, please be specific." Sanbonjiro said in a deep voice.
The telegram from Yamada Otsuzo made him feel the pressure.
In addition, Mimotojiro secretly called one of his seniors in the Kwantung Army yesterday and learned a secret message from the other party:
General Hata Shunroku, the commander of the Imperial Central China Expedition Force, may be transferred back to the country, and the person who will succeed His Excellency Hata Shunroku as the commander of the Central China Expedition Force is General Yamada Otsuzo, the commander of the Imperial Army's Third Army.
"About twenty minutes." Araki Harima said. "When Yame Shoji went out, he deliberately avoided the sentry and was very careful. No one knew where he went."
"What did you tell me?" Sanbonjiro asked in a deep voice.
Although Yamame Shoji was an imperial citizen and a student and assistant of Hiroyuki Taniguchi, since Yamame Shoji had something to hide, then Araki Harima, who was responsible for investigating the case, had the reason to torture Yamame Shoji.
Moreover, he did not think that Yame Shoji could withstand Araki Harima's interrogation without speaking.
"I didn't say anything," Araki Harima said. "Although he was tortured, Yamame Shoji didn't explain anything."
Although Yamame Shoji did not confess anything, Araki Harima did not seem to be annoyed. When he spoke, he even had a happy face.
Sanbonjiro also looked happy.
Within the Special High School, torture and interrogation have a principle that is recognized by most torturers, or it can be said to be a rule:
If you speak too quickly, there may not be a problem; at the same time, if you are tortured but don't speak, there must be something wrong.
Of course, the former law seems to have lost its value due to the jaw-dropping performance of some Chinese agents, especially the performance of some people in Chongqing, such as Wu Shanyue and Wang Kangnian when they faced severe torture.
Even Araki Harima, who had previously chosen not to believe Cao Yu because he surrendered and spoke too quickly and continued to torture him repeatedly, is now somewhat used to, or in other words not surprised by, the quick surrender of some people in Chongqing.
"Continue the interrogation of Yamame Shoji." Sanbonjiro said in an excited tone, "This person has a problem and is very likely to be a breakthrough in the case."
"Hai!" Araki Harima said, standing at attention.
He thought for a while and finally asked, "Section Chief, have you heard about the rumors that Zhang Xiaolin secretly recruited Fang Hui and arranged for him to assassinate Miyazaki-kun?"
