Chapter 288 Hyōtaro Imamura (please subscribe for full subscription and monthly ticket)
Cheng Qianfan took out a French currency from his wallet and placed it on the coffee table. He picked up his briefcase and left the cafe.
This briefcase is exactly the same as Hyōtaro Imamura’s briefcase.
He has several briefcases, one is the same as Peter's briefcase, one was given to him by Bai Ruolan after his marriage, one is the same as Kage Saeiichi's briefcase, one is the same as Sanbonjiro's briefcase, and the other is This one.
He will rotate several briefcases, just to impress everyone.
And, if necessary, his portfolio of briefcases will be expanded further.
He showed up at the home of Hyōtaro Imamura with this briefcase. Even if he was later investigated, there was no loophole.
Cheng Qianfan has always believed in the principle that anything exposed is due to the negligence of subtleties. Therefore, he pays special attention to details and pays attention to taking precautions when doing things.
Leaving the cafe, Cheng Qianfan played with the key that Sakamoto Yoshino gave him and couldn't help but frown.
He couldn't go to Sakamoto Yoshino's room to wait.
The Richa Hotel is not far from the Consulate General of Japan in Shanghai. The people at the Richa Hotel obviously know the identity of Sakamoto Yoshino.
He can chat with Sakamoto Yoshino in a cafe. After all, Inspector Xiaocheng has a wide network of friends and can talk to people from all walks of life and all over the world. It is not surprising that he knows the Japanese in the Consulate General.
However, if he takes the key given by Sakamoto Yoshino and enters Sakamoto Yoshino's room at the Rich Hotel, the nature will be different.
If it falls in the eyes of a caring person, it will inevitably arouse concern and suspicion.
Cheng Qianfan shook his head. Even when he faced many cunning people, he could deal with them easily. On the contrary, when faced with such a natural-tempered Sakamoto Yoshino, he sometimes felt unprepared.
…
Cheng Qianfan went directly to the Richa Hotel and asked someone to open a room opposite Sakamoto Yoshino's room.
Then he used the telephone in the room to make a call.
"It's me." Cheng Qianfan's call was to Hao Zai, who was on duty in the patrol room. "You go find Datou Lu and ask him to get me an antique tea set. I need it urgently and gave it to someone else."
“After you get it, send it to Room 213 of the Licha Hotel.”
On the other end of the phone, Hao Zai nodded, "Yes, Inspector."
Hang up the phone, Hao Zai took out a cigarette and thought.
The call was made according to the original plan. The team leader arranged for him to get a gift. This was also a code indicating that the plan went well. The team leader was allowed to enter Hyoutarou Imamura's birthday party.
However, according to the original plan, the team leader would wait for him at a teahouse on Hankou Road to deliver gifts.
Now the location is suddenly changed to Licha Hotel, which is an unexpected change.
However, the team leader did not give a signal to terminate the plan, indicating that everything should still be under control.
Hao Zai found Da Toulu and told him the inspector's request.
Da Toulu immediately patted his chest and promised to get an antique tea set that would satisfy the inspector.
…
Lying on the bed, Cheng Qianfan closed his eyes and rested.
In fact, he had the urge to enter the room of Sakamoto Yoshino. Sakamoto Yoshino was the assistant of Hyōtaro Imamura, and there might be valuable information in his lounge.
However, he cannot lose the big for the small.
The direct target of this trip is Hyoutaro Imamura.
…
The Consulate General of Japan in Shanghai.
Second floor.
Hyoutaro Imamura’s office.
“You said you just met Kentaro Miyazaki?” Hyōtaro Imamura asked in surprise.
“Yes, sir, I met Miyazaki-kun by chance at the entrance of the Richa Hotel.” Sakamoto Yoshino said to Imamura Hyoutarou.
Back at the Consulate General, Sakamoto Yoshino thought about it carefully and realized that his behavior was somewhat inappropriate.
So, after thinking about it, he felt that he should report to Hyoutaro Imamura first.
“I didn’t expect Miyazaki-kun to come to Shanghai.” Hyoutaro Imamura said with a smile, “You are like-minded friends. We haven’t seen each other for more than a year. It’s no wonder that Yoshino is in a good mood today.”
"What did you talk about?" Imamura Hyotarō asked with interest, "How is Miyazaki-kun now?"
Sakamoto Ryo is overjoyed in his ambition. It seems that Mr. Imamura has always been concerned about Miyazaki-kun.
He then told the story of how the two met.
Sakamoto Yoshino, who was in a happy mood, even let slip that in order to avoid Miyazaki Kentaro's embarrassment, he threw the key directly to Miyazaki Kentaro and left quickly.
Sakamoto Yoshino did not notice that when he talked about this matter, the vigilance in Hyoutarou Imamura's eyes faded and his eyes became gentle.
"Sir, without your permission, I invited Miyazaki-kun to your birthday party. I hope you won't be offended." Sakamoto Yoshino said.
"It doesn't matter, I didn't know that Miyazaki-kun was actually in Shanghai before. Otherwise, I would have met him a long time ago." Imamura Hyōtaro smiled and nodded, "Miyazaki-kun, like you, is also a young talent that I admire very much. We can meet him again this time." He, I’m happy.”
“Great, I knew your husband would be happy to see Miyazaki-kun.” Sakamoto Yoshino said happily.
…
After Sakamoto Yoshino left, Imamura Hyoutarou lit a cigarette and took a puff.
The Super High School is nominally led by the Imperial Consulate General in Shanghai. Iwai Eiichi has been trying to deepen his influence and control over the Super High School. Hyotarō Imamura was arranged by Iwai Eiichi to go deep into the Shanghai Super High School. antenna.
Hence, he knows some of the secrets of the Special Higher Education Course.
Including Kentaro Miyazaki pretending to be Chinese Cheng Qianfan and breaking into the patrol house in the French Concession.
For Sakamoto Yoshino to meet Kentaro Miyazaki, his first reaction was that Miyazaki Kentaro was not secretive.
However, after listening to Sakamoto Yoshino’s introduction, I confirmed that this was an ‘accidental encounter’ incident.
Afterwards, Imamura became suspicious again when he heard that Sakamoto Yoshino invited Kentaro Miyazaki to attend his birthday party.
He did not doubt that Kentaro Miyazaki was not sincere to the empire.
Rather, he suspected that Miyazaki wanted to get closer to him through Sakamoto Yoshino and get closer to him.
Objectively speaking, Hyoutaro Imamura admires Kentaro Miyazaki quite a lot, but he doesn’t want the person he admires to act too utilitarian.
Especially since this is an Imperial sleeper agent.
The identity of Kentaro Miyazaki should not be exposed too much. Although his birthday party was held by Japanese insiders, there is no need to worry about leaks. However, this is a matter of principle that latent agents should abide by as much as possible.
Yes, Hyōtaro Imamura admires Kentaro Miyazaki and intends to recruit him. However, he hopes that after his recruitment intention is conveyed, the other party will come closer instead of violating the secret agent principle and acting on his own.
He doesn't like people who are too campy.
However, I heard that it was Sakamoto Yoshino who took the initiative to invite, and even without waiting for Kentaro Miyazaki to refuse, he put down the key and left directly.
Hyoutaro Imamura put down his doubts, but at the same time he was dumbfounded. That is to say, only a simple person like Sakamoto Yoshino could do such a thing.
…
Hyoutaro Imamura thought for a moment and pressed the bell.
Someone came in immediately.
"Naito, there is something, go and investigate it." Imamura Hyotarō ordered.
He believed what Sakamoto Yoshino said, but he still wanted to investigate the origin of the matter.
For example, why did ‘Cheng Qianfan’ appear near the Licha Hotel?
For example, what did ‘Cheng Qianfan’ do after Sakamoto Yoshino left.
Regardless of doubts, since he was going to meet Kentaro Miyazaki this time, he had a lot of intimacy with this young man. Depending on the situation, if possible, he would express his intention to recruit him.
This is mainly because His Excellency Eiichi Iwai has always wanted to build a secret service agency exclusive to him. Hyōtaro Imamura is in charge of this matter, and now is the time to recruit troops.
He arranged for someone to investigate. He just wanted to know more about the young man he admired out of habit.
Observe his words and deeds, know his abilities, and recognize his character.
