Chapter 80: Children of the Nobles (please vote for collection recommendation)
"Is Kawada Atsuhito okay?" Sanbon asked with an excited expression.
Since Cheng Qianfan entered this office, Sanben, who is short and stocky and dressed in kimono, has attracted Cheng Qianfan's secret attention.
This is a relatively silent person.
The expression is cold.
Or it can be said to have a fierce look.
fitting the image of a brutal Japanese military officer often seen in the press.
At first glance, one would think that he is a vicious, brainless and vulgar person.
In fact, this is not the case.
The fact that this person can appear in the office of Toshihiko Okada, the Japanese consular attaché in Hangzhou, wearing a Japanese uniform (kimono) shows that this person has a close relationship with Toshihiko Okada, or at least has equal status.
In addition, Toshihiko Okada did not know Kentaro Miyazaki.
But Sanben knows.
This shows that Sanbon and Kawada Nagakichi have a better personal relationship.
Birds of a feather flock together, and the identity of a person who has a close personal relationship with Kenji Doihara's assistant can be revealed.
Sanbon just introduced himself as Jiro Sanbon, an ordinary businessman in the empire.
…
At this moment, Cheng Qianfan was surprised to see that Sanbonjiro, who had always been acting rather coldly, did not hide his excited expression.
After learning that Kawada Nagakichi was rounded up by state agents, Sanbonjiro behaved quite calmly.
Now that I heard the news about Kawada Atsuhito, this person is so rude?
Of course, the former performance may also be because the Japanese have already found out the news about Kawada Nagakichi's accident, and have already been emotionally released.
However, the latter is the most real and direct reaction from the other party. Cheng Qianfan’s first reaction is:
Kawada Atsuto's identity is not as simple as he knows.
This person has an extraordinary status!
A nephew of Kawada Nagakichi, if he dies, he will die, if he lives, he will live, and he will not attract any attention at all.
…
"Yes, Sanben-kun." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "At the critical moment, Kawada-kun forced Atsushi to evacuate. He fled from the Yang Mansion through the sewers. In order to avoid being pursued by the Chinese military police, he hid in Tibet until he met me."
"Where is he now? I want to see him immediately." Sanbonjiro said urgently.
Okada Toshihiko frowned and looked at Sanbonjiro.
He has also guessed that Kawada Atsuto's identity is certainly not simple.
But he needed an explanation.
This explanation is not just that he wants to know the identity of Kawada Atsuhito.
Also because:
Why did Kawada Nagakichi tell you and not me?
“Okada-kun, Sanbon-kun, it’s a matter of official confidentiality, so I’ll step aside for now.” Cheng Qianfan said.
“No need.” Sanbonjiro waved his hand, “Miyazaki-kun is Kawada-kun’s friend, and he saved Atsushi this time, so it’s okay to know this.”
“Thank you.” Cheng Qianfan bowed slightly and did not insist on avoiding it.
“Atsushi Kawada is a direct descendant of the Kawada clan in Kyoto.” Sanbonjiro said.
"The Kawada family in Kyoto." Okada Toshihiko's face changed slightly, as if he had thought of something, and then he became furious, "Sanbon-kun, you owe me an explanation for this matter."
Cheng Qianfan understood why Okada Toshihiko was so angry.
Although he did not know the true background and status of the Kawada family in Japan, he could guess that they were probably Japanese aristocrats or a powerful family.
As a direct descendant of a prominent family, if something happens in Okada Toshihiko's jurisdiction, Okada Toshihiko will not be able to escape the blame.
"Okada-kun, Sanbon-kun." Cheng Qianfan said, "I didn't know that Kawada-kun is a direct descendant of the Kawada family. For the sake of safety, we should take Kawada-kun back to the concession first."
The Kawada-kun in his mouth does not refer to Kawada Nagakichi at this time, but Kawada Atsuhito (a direct descendant of the noble family).
“That’s right.” Sanbonjiro nodded and glanced at Kentaro Miyazaki with an appreciative expression.
Okada Toshihiko also snorted and said nothing more. The words "Kentaro Miyazaki" were equivalent to giving him and Sanbon a step down.
Miyazaki Kentaro is right to bring back Atsuto Kawada first and ensuring his safety is the top priority.
…
Xiaobailou.
Yu Ping'an was resting in the bedroom when a rapid knock on the door woke him up.
"What's up?"
“Deputy Director Yu, emergency call number 2.”
"what time is it?"
“Four forty-one in the morning.”
Yu Pingan was wearing pajamas and a coat. He walked to the door in a few strides, opened the door, and strode towards his office.
“I am Yu Ping’an.”
“Deputy Director Yu, several cars suddenly drove out of the Okada Residence with Japanese flags hanging on the fronts. It is suspected that Toshihiko Okada was traveling late at night.”
“Where are they going?” Yu Pingan asked immediately.
“Direction to Zhijiang University.”
Yu Pingan walked directly to the wall, opened the curtain, and looked at the Hangzhou military map hanging on the wall.
He found Zhijiang University.
Draw it with a pencil.
“Zhijiang University, something happened nearby. Toshihiko Okada traveled late at night and even publicly displayed the ‘guard of honor’ of the military attache of the Japanese Consulate.” Yu Ping’an frowned and thought, but still couldn’t figure out the point.
Okada Toshihiko is the military attache of the Japanese Consulate in Hangzhou. He traveled late at night and made no secret of it. The suddenness of the incident was even more bizarre.
After the "226" incident in Japan, the national government paid close attention to the Japanese military's movements against China.
In addition to dealing with enemy Japanese spies, the Secret Service also has the task of monitoring the Japanese embassy and consulates in China, and collecting and analyzing Japan’s policy trends towards China.
Although Okada Toshihiko is only a Japanese Army Major, his status as a military attache of the Japanese Consulate in Hangzhou cannot help Yu Ping'an being careless in the current situation.
"This is Yu Pingan." Yu Pingan picked up another phone, "Closely monitor Okada Toshihiko and his party! I want to know where he went and what he did."
Putting down the phone, Yu Pingan rubbed his temples.
Okada Toshihiko travels openly, which means he does not shy away from his actions at all.
The agents of the Secret Service and the military and police along the route no longer need to cover up. They can follow openly and even take photos secretly at checkpoints.
The Japanese suddenly came in the middle of the night, which puzzled Yu Pingan.
…
Yunlong Inn.
The door of the inn was knocked open.
The inn boy yawned.
The shopkeeper was also sleepy. He rubbed his eyes and looked outside, asking who knocked on the door so early.
Then the shopkeeper was stunned. He saw the car with the plaster flag hanging on it.
There are also menacing men in Japanese military uniforms:
Japanese soldiers!
Both of them were so frightened that their legs were shaking.
A war started?
Has the little devil entered Hangzhou?
The national army was defeated now?
How come you didn’t hear the sound of the cannon?
"Shopkeeper, excuse me." Cheng Qianfan stepped forward, "I'm here to pick up my friend."
“You, you, you—” The moonlight was very good, and the shopkeeper could see Cheng Qianfan’s face clearly, “Are you Japanese?”
Cheng Qianfan did not answer. He turned to Okada Toshihiko and Sanbonjiro and bowed, "You two, I will go up and ask Kawada-kun to come down."
