Chapter 189 Suspicious Ying Zuo (2nd update, please subscribe)
Ying Zuoying looked at Cheng Qianfan who looked confused.
Seeing that the other party dared to 'pretend' not to know him, he felt extremely unhappy.
Although Tong Cheng Qianfan is not of the same level, the two parties have had contact.
As a prominent figure in the East Asia Douwen College at the time, Eiichi Kage was proud of his experience.
“Cheng Jun is such a noble man and forgets things so much.” Ying Zuoying said in a dark way.
Miyazaki Kentaro looked confused, then suddenly showed a look of surprise, "Sir, you have recognized the wrong person."
New friend Sakamoto Yoshino asked in a low voice, "Miyazaki-kun, what's going on?"
“I was at the entrance just now, and the patrolman mistook me for someone else. I was also surprised.” Kentaro Miyazaki said in a low voice, with a look of helplessness on his face.
“That’s it.” Sakamoto Yoshino nodded and said to Eiichi Kage, “Sir, you have recognized the wrong person. This is Mr. Kentaro Miyazaki from Kobe University, not the Chinese you mentioned.”
“Nani?” Ying Zuoying felt confused when she heard the two communicating in Japanese, and took a deep look at ‘Cheng Qianfan’.
Then he noticed the difference. Although this person looked almost the same as Cheng Qianfan, there were indeed differences in his speech, behavior, and temperament.
Are there really people in the world who look so similar?
…
"I'm sorry, I mistakenly identified you as a Chinese friend." Kage Zuo Eiichi said in Japanese, "Introduce yourself, I am Kage Zuo Eiichi, a staff member of the Imperial Consulate General in Shanghai."
“So it’s Kagesa-kun.” Kentaro Miyazaki bowed slightly, “Your Excellency, is he the same as Kagesa-kun?”
"Attaché Kagesa is my uncle." Kagesa Eiichi smiled and said, "I apologize to Miyazaki-kun again."
“It’s okay.” Kentaro Miyazaki smiled and said, “I’m curious, is there really a Chinese who looks similar to me?”
"Indeed, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that there were people with such similar looks in the world." Ying Zuoying nodded, "Where did Miyazaki-kun come from?"
“Traveling around, recently I went to Hangcheng and Zhishan.” Kentaro Miyazaki said.
“When did you arrive in Shanghai?” Yingzuo Yingyi continued to ask.
“Half a month ago.” Kentaro Miyazaki said, he frowned, “Your Excellency, you are investigating me?”
“Miyazaki-kun misunderstood.” Eiichi Kagezakura gave Kentaro Miyazaki a deep look. “The anti-Japanese sentiment among the Chinese people is high. I just remind Miyazaki-kun to pay attention to safety.”
“Thank you very much.” Kentaro Miyazaki said with a smile.
“Excuse me, you two, please help yourself.” Ying Zuoying nodded in greeting.
…
Looking at Eiichi Kage who was walking away, the smile on Kentaro Miyazaki's face faded.
“What’s wrong?” Sakamoto Yoshino asked.
"I don't like the way he talks." Miyazaki Kentaro shook his head, "I feel like a criminal being questioned."
After thinking about it, Miyazaki Kentaro smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe because of my personality, I have always been unsociable, and I don't like this person."
"So you feel the same way." Sakamoto Yoshino said happily, "I know this person, the young master of the Kagezu family, is very arrogant, and I don't like this person either."
“Is this why you pretended not to know this person just now?” Kentaro Miyazaki asked with a smile.
Sakamoto Yoshino also laughed, then he looked around and whispered, "Kagezu is in the Special High School. In short, he is a troublesome guy. We should stay away from this guy."
Miyazaki Kentaro nodded to express his understanding.
…
“Go and find out the identity of this person.” Ying Zuoying walked to the side and whispered to an agent of the Special High School who was pretending to be a waiter.
He did not continue the cross-examination. In addition to feeling the other party's disgust, he also did not want to know too much to affect his judgment.
Shadow Zuo Yingyi doesn’t trust anyone. He only believes in intelligence and his own most objective judgment.
In other words, he only believes in himself who has the best ability.
"yes."
After a while, the waiter came back and reported the situation of the discovery.
“A student of Hiroyuki Taniguchi, the dean of the School of Chinese Literature at Kobe University, a native of Imperial Fukushima, and the troubadour Kentaro Miyazaki?”
"Yes." The waiter nodded, "Your Excellency Imamura seems to know this person, and Professor Sakamoto Nagayuki also knows this person. The one who is with Miyazaki-kun now is Sakamoto Yoshino, the youngest son of the Sakamoto family."
Ying Zuoyi was thinking about it. He knew that Taniguchi Hiroyuki had a close relationship with Manchuria. Ying Zuoyi had heard of this person when he was in Manchuria.
“He turned out to be a student of Hiroyuki Taniguchi.” Shadow Zuoyi murmured to himself, “What else did you find out?”
“Zhou Huaigu also knew this person, and they seemed to be old friends in Peiping.”
Soon, Zhou Huaigu was ‘invited’.
…
"Your Excellency Ying Zuo is looking for me? I wonder if there is anything Zhou can do for you?" Zhou Huaigu bowed with a smile on his face.
His safety these days has been the responsibility of Yingzuo Eiichi. He can feel the hidden distrust and contempt of the Yingzuo family's young master towards the Chinese. Therefore, facing Yingzuo Eiichi, Zhou Huaigu was a little uneasy.
"Mr. Zhou, don't be nervous. I have some things to ask Mr. Zhou." Yingzuo Yingyi said with a smile.
He enjoys the fear and compliments of the Chinese, but at the same time he distrusts and despises the Chinese from the bottom of his heart.
Despicable Chinese people!
“Excuse me, your Excellency, Zhou knows everything and can tell you everything.” Zhou Huaigu said immediately.
“Your Excellency is familiar with Miyazaki-kun?” Yingzuo Yingyi asked, staring at Zhou Huaigu, capturing his facial expressions.
Hearing this question, Zhou Huaigu breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly thought about how to answer.
I am an acquaintance with a Japanese scholar and have a good relationship with him, so it doesn’t seem to be a bad thing.
Just now he noticed a detail. Hyōtaro Imamura, the adjutant of Eiichi Iwai, the deputy consul general of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, seemed to admire Kentaro Miyazaki very much.
Zhou Huaigu is very concerned about the Japanese high-level officials. He knows the other identity of Hyōtaro Imamura. Hyōtaro Imamura is the deputy chief of staff of the Japanese Kwantung Army and the nephew of Jun Imamura, the Japanese military attaché in Manchukuo.
Zhou Huaigu stayed in the north for a long time and felt the power of the Japanese Kwantung Army most deeply.
With the appreciation of Hyoutaro Imamura, Kentaro Miyazaki’s future is bright.
Moreover, Zhou Huaigu was also very aware of the power of Kentaro Miyazaki’s teacher Hiroyuki Taniguchi in Mantetsu.
Therefore, Zhou Huaigu replied with a smile, "It turns out that you are asking Miyazaki-kun. Zhou and Miyazaki-kun are indeed acquaintances. They had many wine tastings and chats in Peiping and Tianjin. For a young man like Miyazaki-kun from the Empire of Japan, You are so talented, Zhou admires him very much.”
“That’s it.” Ying Zuoying nodded, “When was the last time you met?”
“About half a year ago,” Zhou Huaigu said, “I went to visit Professor Taniguchi and met Miyazaki-kun at Professor Taniguchi’s apartment. Just now, Miyazaki-kun said he liked the roast duck he invited him to eat last time.”
Ying Zuoying thought to himself, half a year ago...
“Mr. Zhou has always been close to the empire, and Ying Zuo Yingyi is also willing to make friends with Mr. Zhou.” Ying Zuo Yingyi said with a smile.
“Your Excellency is so kind, Zhou is scared.” Zhou Huaigu said happily.
A flurry of flattering compliments followed.
Suppressing his disgust and enjoying Zhou Huaigu's flattery, Ying Zuoying casually found an excuse to send Zhou Huaigu away.
…
Although it was confirmed from Zhou Huaigu's mouth that Kentaro Miyazaki was indeed a person, and both Hyōtaro Imamura and Nagayuki Sakamoto seemed to know this person.
However, Yingzuo Eiichi’s suspicious character still cannot completely let go of his doubts.
He glanced at Kentaro Miyazaki who was communicating in a low voice with Sakamoto Yoshino. Looking at this familiar face, he subconsciously thought of Cheng Qianfan.
“Koji.” Kagezuo Eiichi whispered.
“My subordinate is here.” Hao Er took two steps and came closer.
“Three things for you.” Ying Zuoying paused, “The first thing is, you send someone to investigate whether Cheng Qianfan was in Shanghai half a year ago, or whether he was away from Shanghai for a long time?”
"yes."
“The second thing is to arrange for someone to check where Cheng Qianfan was and what he was doing when Kentaro Miyazaki arrived in Shanghai.”
"yes."
“The third thing, you now go to the patrol house in the center of the French Concession and Cheng Qianfan’s home. In short, this is where Cheng Qianfan will appear. Be sure to find Cheng Qianfan and confirm.”
"Kage Zuo-kun suspects that Kentaro Miyazaki is pretending to be Cheng Qianfan?" Haoji asked softly, "I guess not, Mr. Zhou Huaigu and Imamura..."
Ying Zuoying didn't say anything and just gave Haoji a cold look.
"Yes, I will go right away." Hao Er did not dare to neglect and said immediately.
“You must go in person and confirm it yourself.”
"clear."
