Sakamoto Yoshino noticed the change in Cheng Qianfan's expression.
“Miyazaki-kun, what’s wrong?” Sakamoto Yoshino asked.
"The man who came in from the outside is a Chinese who is relatively friendly to the empire." Cheng Qianfan said, "He knows me."
Looking at Sakamoto Yoshino, he added, "This person only knows my Chinese identity."
Sakamoto Yoshino understood, "If outsiders know that you are a subject of the empire, will it bring you danger?"
"Yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "I'll find a corner to take shelter."
He looked around and saw that there was no hiding place in the living room on the first floor.
"I'll take you to the guest room upstairs. You can rest there first and avoid it for the time being." Sakamoto Yoshino said.
“That’s not right.” Cheng Qianfan said, and at the same time looked towards the yard with a slightly anxious expression, seeing that the man outside was about to enter the living room.
"It's okay, I have used that guest room before, just for guests." Sakamoto Yoshino said.
Cheng Qianfan followed Sakamoto Yoshino upstairs and said, "It's best to ask Mr. Imamura for instructions. You have a close relationship with Mr. Imamura, so of course you can, but I..."
“I’ll tell Uncle Imamura later, don’t worry, it’s okay.” Sakamoto Yoshino said.
When he reached the second floor, he took out the key from his pocket and opened the door, "Miyazaki-kun, please rest for a while. I'm going down to help."
“I’m causing you trouble.” Cheng Qianfan said politely.
"You and I are friends, and I took the liberty to invite you here. It was me who caused trouble for you." Sakamoto Yoshino said.
Took Cheng Qianfan to a guest room on the second floor, settled in for a while, told him to take a rest first, and even took the initiative to help him close the curtains. Sakamoto Yoshino went downstairs and left.
He is the nephew of Hyōtaro Imamura. The son of Hyōtaro Imamura is still in Japan. Therefore, as a nephew, Sakamoto Yoshino has the obligation to help welcome and send him off today, and he is also quite busy.
…
Things went more smoothly than Cheng Qianfan expected.
Liu Mingfei who appeared in the yard just now was actually lured by him by deliberately setting a trap.
This man is a **** traitor who is dedicated to serving the Japanese.
Moreover, he is very good at working in camps, and he tries his best to fawn over the Japanese people he comes into contact with.
Let's put it this way, whenever important people in Japan have weddings, funerals, birthdays, or birthdays, Liu Mingfei will never be absent as long as he can get in touch with them, and he will definitely come with generous gifts.
Cheng Qianfan arranged for someone to accidentally let Liu Mingfei know that Hyoutaro Imamura’s birthday was today.
Behind the Bunyusha, a pro-Japanese literary society, there is the shadow of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai. To be precise, Imamura Hyoutaro has the authority to guide and govern the Bunyusha.
Since Liu Mingfei knew that it was his master’s birthday, he would definitely come.
Of course, Cheng Qianfan will not ‘bet’ all his hopes on Liu Mingfei.
Chen Yun and Liu Naiyu, two other pro-Japanese literati from the 'Literary Friendship Society', will also learn about this news. These two people are also hard-working people. If nothing unexpected happens, they will also come to congratulate the Japanese master on his birthday. .
Three people, three insurances. All Cheng Qianfan needs is for at least one of the three to be here.
He can use the reason that others know him and needs "temporary refuge" to get the opportunity to take refuge in the guest room on the second floor:
There is nowhere to hide on the first floor, which is also part of his plan.
He was worried about two things before. First, none of the three people showed up, or they arrived late, and he did not have enough time to take action.
One is that Hyōtaro Imamura did not allow him to go to the second floor to rest, and even directly said, "In that case, Miyazaki-kun leaves first, and we will talk about it another day." That was a helpless decision.
Now, Liu Mingfei has arrived as he wished.
Sakamoto Yoshino, as a "half master", directly passed Imamura Hyoutarou and introduced him to the guest room on the second floor.
The two most critical issues, which were also his biggest worries, were easily solved.
This is why Cheng Qianfan deliberately made friends with Sakamoto Yoshino when he first met him and became good friends.
…
After Sakamoto Yoshino left, Cheng Qianfan went out and listened to the noise downstairs.
It was quite lively.
He immediately closed the guest room door, took his briefcase, and walked straight to a room on the left.
If Hyōtaro Imamura had not made any special modifications to the villa, that room would have been a study.
Cheng Qianfan took out a thin wire from his body and opened the door in only ten seconds.
Taken out a small flashlight from the briefcase.
Cover the flashlight with the palm of your hand to ensure that the light is suppressed and does not attract outside attention.
His judgment was correct. This was exactly the study room of Hyōtaro Imamura.
Shining the flashlight over, he saw a briefcase on the chair behind the desk.
Cheng Qianfan was so excited that he had no time to stay in the study and slowly search for the documents in the briefcase.
He first checked that Hyotaro Imamura's briefcase was "normal" and had no marks.
He picked up the briefcase.
Then, he put his identical briefcase on the chair.
As he was about to leave the room, he stopped.
Then he walked back and placed the briefcase a little further inside. This is the position where the briefcase was placed just now.
There is only one purpose for doing this. When someone enters the study, if he does not come to pick up the briefcase specifically, but just glances at it casually, he will not pick up the briefcase and check it if no one has touched it.
This can buy him valuable time.
…
Subsequently, Cheng Qianfan took Hyotaro Imamura's briefcase and exited the study, opened the door to the guest room with the key, and locked the door.
He did not open Hyōtaro Imamura's briefcase immediately, but carefully looked at the appearance to confirm whether there were any special marks.
There is nothing unusual about the appearance.
Cheng Qianfan carefully put a very small hook on the end of the wire, put the wire into the keyhole of the briefcase, and shook his wrist twice.
I heard a click.
The lock of the briefcase was opened.
He did not rush to open the briefcase, but carefully and slowly opened it.
I saw a short black line.
Cheng Qianfan looked at it and found where the thread was fixed. He very carefully untied the black thread that was tightly tied to the keyhole.
This black line is very thin and not long.
The lower part is tied to the keyhole, and the upper part is stuck with a small piece of tape.
The tape sticks tightly to the inside of the briefcase, but the effect of sticking the black line is average and not reliable.
If he hadn't noticed the black line just now and opened the briefcase directly, the thread on the black line would have fallen off the tape at the moment he opened it.
At that moment, people's eyes will subconsciously be on the pile of documents in the briefcase. Unless they are very careful and can pay attention to other details, they will notice the black line falling instantly.
So, this is an early warning device. When the briefcase is placed out of sight, Hyotarō Imamura can rely on this black line to determine whether his briefcase has been touched.
I wish you all a happy Chinese Valentine's Day.
