Returning to Araki Harima's office, Cheng Qianfan couldn't help but laugh out loud as he looked at the somewhat dejected Araki Harima.
Araki Harima looked at him angrily, and then thought that thanks to his friend interceding for him today, all the anger was gone. He said helplessly, "Smile, Miyazaki-kun, I feel like a clown."
"No, no, no, I definitely didn't mean to make fun of you." Cheng Qianfan waved his hand, "Araki-kun, your response just now was correct."
Just now Cheng Qianfan reprimanded and questioned Araki Harima.
When questioned, Araki Harima could only blush and apologize to Sanbonjiro:
Araki got carried away and was not steady enough in his work. He failed the class teacher's teachings and disappointed the class teacher.
When he said this, Araki Harima didn't even dare to raise his head.
…
"That's not me." Araki Harima said with a bitter smile, "I couldn't say that before."
"Has the section chief ordered to pay close attention to Cao Yu?"
"Does the section chief want to dig deeper into the secrets of the Red Party's 'Yuchang' and Chenzhou?" Cheng Qianfan asked Araki Harima one after another.
Araki Harima was stunned for a moment:
Sanbonjiro did order to pay close attention to Cao Yu, but that was when Cao Yu had just joined the empire two years ago.
Sanbonjiro did give an order to dig deeper into the secrets between 'Yuchang' and 'Chenzhou', but that was the order given when Wang Kangnian was formally arrested by the empire.
How can these two incompatible commands with such a long time span be connected together?
Then, all of this turned out to be a wise move by Mimotojiro Chizu to control everything?
Araki Harima couldn't figure it out.
Or to be more precise, he understood it, but because he was angry, he was unwilling to accept it for the time being.
…
Cheng Qianfan smiled and did not continue to say anything on this topic. All that needed to be said had been said.
He has treated Araki Harima with the utmost benevolence and righteousness.
This is not the time for him to continue to show off his ability to flatter and teach Araki a lesson, let alone to show off the favor of interceding for Araki.
That matter has passed, and it’s time to turn the page.
What Araki Harima needs now is not to understand these things, but to "turn the page". Face is the most important thing.
If he continues to teach Araki Harima at this time, the effect of the favor just now will be greatly reduced!
At this moment, there was a knock on the office door.
"Come in."
"Captain." Haishi Haruki first saluted Araki Harima, then smiled and nodded to Miyazaki Kentaro, "Miyazaki-kun."
"Miyazaki-kun has been ordered to investigate Lu Xinge's case. Please share the relevant information at the secret service headquarters." Araki Harima said with a serious expression.
After Kaga Kaorya died, Araki Harima had to assign Haruki Haideshi to stay at the agent headquarters to 'guide' the work.
…
"Captain, is this all the information?" Yuishi Haruki looked thoughtful, hesitated and asked.
It's better to ask this kind of thing clearly.
"Limited to information that may involve Lu Xinge escaping capture." Araki Harima said in a deep voice, "You are in the light, Miyazaki-kun is in the dark."
Cheng Qianfan stood aside with a smile on his face and said nothing, as if he didn't mind.
"I understand." Haishi Haruki nodded, then said goodbye and left.
"Araki-kun, thank you very much." Cheng Qianfan thanked him sincerely, his eyes full of joy.
Araki Harima's instructions to Haishi Haruki seemed to be restrictive, but in fact this sentence was very mysterious. The restriction of 'may be involved' actually left too much room for manipulation.
"Miyazaki-kun, you know my bottom line." Araki Harima looked at his friend's happy eyes and had to say with a serious expression.
He felt that it was necessary to sound the alarm to this guy Miyazaki. Otherwise, Araki Harima was really worried that Miyazaki Kentaro would use the excuse of investigation to make money, and would cause the secret service headquarters to go crazy and complain.
"Araki-kun is still worried about what I'm doing?" Kentaro Miyazaki said with a smile.
Araki Harima took a deep look at Kentaro Miyazaki. This good friend of his treated his compatriots in the empire very well, but Miyazaki-kun looked down on the Chinese people. In Miyazaki's eyes, the Chinese people were probably worse than pigs and dogs.
Because of this, Araki Harima had reason to suspect that Kentaro Miyazaki, who held the power of investigation, was not too friendly to the people at the secret service headquarters.
…
At this time, the phone on Araki Harima's desk rang.
Araki Harima picked up the phone.
"I understand." He hung up the phone and said to Miyazaki Kentaro, "It's Hayashita Yamao."
"Kikube-kun should have recommended Linxia." Cheng Qianfan thought for a moment and said after hearing this.
Just now in the section chief's office of Sanbonjiro, the wise section chief keenly captured some possible connection between Cao Yu, 'Chen Zhou' and 'Yuchang', and the final decision he made was:
Stand still and investigate Cao Yu secretly.
Araki Harima did not get the task of investigating Cao Yu, which is what makes Araki Harima most unhappy.
Because Araki Harima is convinced that there is something wrong with Cao Yu, this is obviously a big fish, and there may even be a super big fish behind Cao Yu.
This was a great achievement. It was obviously the clue he discovered, but the section chief asked others to take responsibility. This was obviously unacceptable to Araki Harima.
Judging from the phone call just now, Sanbonjiro chose Kikube Hiroo to be responsible for this matter, and Hayashita Yamao, who was a close subordinate of Kikube Hiroo, was the one who actually carried out the task.
"Kikube-kun is quite capable of doing things." Cheng Qianfan said calmly.
Araki Harima's expression changed slightly and he glanced at his friend.
…
Cheng Qianfan and Araki Harima chatted for a while longer, then said goodbye and left.
It was dark at night, and the car was driving on the silent streets. Along the way, it would encounter Japanese soldiers patrolling with Type 38 rifles on their backs.
With these beasts around, who dares to go out on the streets late at night?
When they see an approaching car, the Japanese soldiers will stop it, but their attitude is quite friendly. The license plate of Mr. Xiao Cheng's car in the French Concession is something that even the Japanese soldiers have to give face to:
They can deny face to the British and French, and even deliberately make things difficult for the British and French, but they will not deliberately make things difficult for Cheng Qianfan.
Not to mention Mr. Cheng's power in the French Concession, they had long heard that he had contacts with the empire, and some soldiers had personally seen that Cheng Qianfan seemed to be friends with Master Atsuhito Kawada of the Military Police Headquarters.
The most important thing is that Cheng Qianfan has always been very generous to the imperial soldiers, and no one will have trouble with the coupons or gifts from "Jiujiu Trading".
Haozi did not give the coupons this time, but handed a golden cigarette from the passenger seat to the Japanese soldier.
The Japanese sergeant leading the team took it unceremoniously and nodded with satisfaction. Then he poked his head in and saw Cheng Qianfan in the back seat.
"Thank you for your hard work." Cheng Qianfan said hello to the Japanese military officer in Japanese.
"Mr. Cheng." The Japanese sergeant looked calm, nodded in greeting, held a cigarette under his arm and waved to let him go.
…
Breaking through the night, we entered the French Concession.
"Haozi, stop the car."
There was a crunch.
Haozi brakes.
"Brother Fan?" He turned to look at Brother Fan.
"I'll get out of the car and take a walk." Cheng Qianfan said.
He was walking on the streets of the French Concession in Shanghai at one o'clock in the morning.
Night seems to be the eternal melody at this time.
Looking up, I can occasionally see a little bit of human light.
Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette and slowly smoked while walking on the road.
What he was thinking about now was the little boy from Fangyun Daily Grocery Store.
Comrade Shan Fangyun was trapped by the enemy.
The only eight or nine-year-old boy left in the store was pitiful.
Cheng Qianfan guessed that there must be enemies squatting near the grocery store, and they wanted to fish.
In other words, it is currently impossible for the organization to approach Fangyun Daily Grocery Store, let alone rescue this boy.
It was not clear who the single boss was before, so Cheng Qianfan remained calm and did not think too much about it.
Now that he knew that Boss Shan was a comrade in the party, Cheng Qianfan couldn't help but think more, and then he finally remembered who the little boy was.
