Chapter 450 Wang Kangnian’s temptation (please subscribe for a monthly ticket)
“These two people are actually like twins, they look exactly the same?” Masao Nishida was extremely surprised when Sanmotojiro introduced the matter of imperial agent Miyazaki Kentaro pretending to be a Chinese Cheng Qianfan.
“That’s true.” Sanbonjiro nodded.
“There are many wonders in this world,” Masao Nishida sighed.
"Such wonderful things can happen, which shows that destiny is in the empire." Sanbonjiro said.
Nishida Masao laughed loudly, he liked hearing this.
“Very good.” Masao Nishida said happily.
Although the empire can also win over the Chinese in the French Concession to serve the empire, loyalty cannot be absolutely guaranteed.
A real imperial agent, who became famous in the French Concession as a Chinese, was very helpful in his plan to control the French Concession and detect anti-Japanese forces.
Moreover, Cheng Qianfan, disguised as Kentaro Miyazaki, is thoroughly Chinese in everyone’s eyes.
The empire can show unconditional trust in ‘Cheng Qianfan’ and even set an example in front of the Chinese people, attracting more Chinese to serve the empire.
The more Masao Nishida thought about it, the more satisfied he became.
“I have heard the name of Kage Zuo Eiichi mentioned before, and this plan is a brilliant one.”
After a pause, Masao Nishida shook his head, "What a pity."
Jiro Sanmoto also showed a hint of regret, "Although I have never met Kage Saeiichi, I have heard of his name. He is an imperial talent who is extremely intelligent and devoted to public service."
The two expressed regret for the deceased Eiichi Kage for about half a minute.
“I would like to ask you, do you need to arrange for Kentaro Miyazaki to meet with you?” Sanbonjiro asked.
“No need for the moment.” Masao Nishida shook his head.
His current work focuses on the public concession, and the next step is the French Concession.
It’s not that the French Concession is unimportant, on the contrary, Masao Nishida attaches more importance to the French Concession. He likes to do things from easy to difficult.
Japan has been gradually penetrating the public settlement for a long time. Although Britain and the United States are the apparent controllers of the public settlement, in private, Japan's tentacles have extended to the public settlement in all aspects.
Based on this foundation, we should first lay out the public concession, and then make every effort to lay out the French concession.
“However, you can notify Kentaro Miyazaki and ask him to submit a list and analysis report of relevant personnel in the French Concession.” Masao Nishida said, “To control the French Concession, we need to recruit more friends who are willing to cooperate with the empire.”
"Okay, Sir, I will arrange this matter." Sanbonjiro said immediately.
…
This sudden rainstorm lasted for most of the day.
Then, the rainy days continued for two or three days.
On October 1st, when the sun was clearing, Cheng Qianfan drove Bai Ruolan and Xiaobao out for a drive.
The car stopped at the entrance of Qishlin Bakery.
Bai Ruolan took Xiaobao out of the car and went to the store to eat small cakes.
Cheng Qianfan rolled down the window, sat in the driver's seat and smoked, looking around boredly.
A young man looked around, threw the cigarette in his hand on the ground, stepped on it hard, and walked towards Cheng Qianfan's car.
Cheng Qianfan noticed this person. He stared at him with a look of caution.
“Inspector Cheng Qianfan?” the man asked, his voice low and hoarse.
"I am." Cheng Qianfan nodded in surprise, but suddenly drew his gun and pointed it at the person, "Who are you?"
"Inspector Cheng, don't get me wrong." The young man was frightened and raised his hands to show that he meant no harm.
“Tell me, what do you want from me?” Cheng Qianfan asked without putting down his gun and remaining on alert.
“Borrow, borrow a fire.” The young man pointed to the cigarette held behind his ear and said shakily.
“You’re a little red guy.” Cheng Qianfan yelled angrily, “If you want to borrow a fire, just say borrow a fire, and I’ll be shocked.”
The young man was frightened and saw Inspector Cheng's hand holding Browning's gun shaking in panic, fearing that he would fire.
After cursing, Inspector Xiao Cheng looked at the young man who was so frightened that he almost knelt down. He took out a match box from the glove box and threw it out, "Get out!"
The young man picked up the matchbox on the ground and ran away in a hurry.
In the car, Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette and took a puff, his face gloomy.
“It’s never over!” he cursed in his mind.
…
Wang Kangnian took the match box from his subordinate's hand and checked it carefully, inside and out.
He sniffed it and even broke the matches one by one.
As he expected, there was nothing wrong with the match box and matches.
Of course, he also knew that his behavior was a bit neurotic. After all, the young man who borrowed fire from Cheng Qianfan was an agent arranged by him. Not to mention whether Cheng Qianfan had a problem, even if there was a problem, it was impossible to throw out a problematic person. Match box.
It's just that he just wants to do this. He can't control himself and has to check before he feels comfortable.
The subordinates reported the entire process to Wang Kangnian.
"Ball." Wang Kangnian cursed. He had just held up a telescope in a hidden place and saw all this in his eyes.
He was watching Cheng Qianfan's every move.
“Trash!” Wang Kangnian glared at his men and cursed.
Chaos.
Things did not develop according to his preset scenario.
According to Wang Kangnian's arrangement.
As my subordinate approached Cheng Qianfan’s car, his first words were, ‘Inspector Cheng Qianfan? ’
This sentence is correct.
According to reasoning, Cheng Qianfan would nod and say, ‘It’s me’.
This is also true.
Then, according to Wang Kangnian’s plan, his subordinates would suddenly lower their voices and nervously say to Cheng Qianfan, ‘Comrade Qianfan’!
Wang Kangnian was waiting for this moment. He wanted to carefully observe the subtle changes in Cheng Qianfan's expression.
He firmly believes that when a person encounters a sudden change, subtle changes in expression can explain a lot of problems:
If Cheng Qianfan is a member of the Red Party, maybe his name within the Red Party is Cheng Qianfan, maybe not, or it may be a code name, or another name.
He did not expect that Cheng Qianfan would be fooled by his men's words.
His purpose was to observe Cheng Qianfan’s subtle reactions—
The title comrade is of great significance to the Red Party.
Whether Cheng Qianfan was fooled or not, when he heard the word "comrade", his instant reaction could definitely capture some information.
However, what Wang Kangnian didn’t expect was that his subordinates didn’t even have time to say the words ‘Comrade Qianfan’.
That guy Cheng Qianfan actually pulled out his gun.
The subordinate was pointed at a gun and immediately panicked, and his subsequent responses were completely confused.
“Has Cheng Qianfan had any grudge against anyone recently?” Wang Kangnian asked.
"Cheng Qianfan is greedy for money, lustful, and ruthless. Previously, the Third Patrol Bureau of the Central Patrol Office extorted many opium dens and gambling stalls, which must have offended many people. In addition, his relationship with Xia Wenqiao of the Qinggang Gang is also very bad." One of his subordinates replied. .
“One more thing, the relationship between Cheng Qianfan and Liang Yuchun has been very bad recently.” Bai Pang came over and said, “There is news that Liang Yuchun may take action against Cheng Qianfan.”
“Is the news accurate?” Wang Kangnian asked immediately.
“It’s almost the same.” Bai Pang nodded, “Liang Yuchun seems to be arranging someone to follow Cheng Qianfan secretly.”
This is a stepping stone to get a grasp of Cheng Qianfan’s trajectory and prepare to take action?
Wang Kangnian thought to himself, Cheng Qianfan is a smart person, so it is impossible for him to be unaware of it. No wonder this person had such a big reaction just now.
Picking up the binoculars, Wang Kangnian saw Cheng Qianfan get out of the car, open the door for his wife Bai Ruolan and the little girl named Xiaobao, and then drive away.
Wang Kangnian was thoughtful. He vaguely felt that he had captured some important information, but he couldn't grasp it for a while and couldn't figure it out clearly.
…
"What are you thinking about?" Bai Ruolan came in with fruits and saw Cheng Qianfan sitting at the desk, deep in thought.
“It’s about work.” Cheng Qianfan smiled and took the fruit plate, “Is Xiaobao sleeping?”
"Sleep." Bai Ruolan walked up behind Cheng Qianfan and massaged his head skillfully, "I read in the book that if you use your brain too much, you will become bald."
As he spoke, Xu imagined his husband's bald appearance and burst into laughter.
It was the bald Cheng Qianfan who was also her true love.
Cheng Qianfan also laughed and shook his head.
"Don't move." Bai Ruolan tapped her husband's head gently, "I'll press it for you, and you can continue to think about work."
Cheng Qianfan closed his eyes.
His mind was thinking quickly.
Things are many and complex.
The day before yesterday, Araki Harima conveyed to him Sanbonjiro's instructions, requiring him to submit a list of important people in the French Concession in the near future. For those who are familiar and understood, you can add your own judgment:
Strongly anti-Japanese? Swingers? Pro-Japanese faction?
This incident aroused his alarm. In his view, this was the beginning of preparations for the Japanese rule after occupying Shanghai.
Cheng Qianfan arranged for people to secretly keep an eye on the Tianya Photo Studio. There had been no movement in the photo studio. However, there were changes in the morning three days ago. The owner Chang Shen had always been running this small photo studio alone, but this day it was a new employee. asked a clerk:
is a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old.
Li Hao reported that the little girl has a Fujian accent.
This aroused Cheng Qianfan’s attention.
Then today, the person who suddenly came over to borrow a fire.
Although there is no evidence, Cheng Qianfan is 70% certain that this person is from the Party Affairs Investigation Department.
He did not give the other party a chance to follow the plan, and directly drew his gun, taking the initiative into his own hands.
This is not an unexpected move.
A few days ago, Cheng Qianfan arranged for someone to secretly let out the news: Liang Yuchun intended to harm him.
In the context of this rumor, it is understandable that he is very vigilant and would draw a gun at every turn.
Cheng Qianfan frowned slightly, this was not the way to go.
There are too many secrets about him. If the Party Affairs Investigation Department keeps staring at him, it will be very detrimental to his work. In addition, if the party keeps staring at him like this, sooner or later something will happen.
Cheng Qianfan wondered whether to call Nanjing and cry to Virgo.
Last time, Virgo personally said that he would solve the problem of being followed, but now the other party is getting worse. This must be explained.
Seeing Cheng Qianfan frowning, Bai Ruolan asked softly, "Does it hurt?"
“No, I’m just thinking about something. My wife’s skills are getting better and better.” Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
"Bad talker." Bai Ruolan put a little force on her hand, Cheng Qianfan pretended to be in pain, and screamed, the two of them were joking and laughing, Cheng Qianfan breathed a sigh of relief, Ruolan was the warmth in his heart , if Ruolan hadn't been with him, he would have been really worried about his mental state.
The next day.
Cheng Qianfan took advantage of noon to arrive at the residence of Father Jin Lu Zhouru and sent a report to the Nanjing headquarters.
The Wenyou Club where Zhou Ru worked was hit by a bomb dropped by a Japanese military plane. Fortunately, it was nighttime, no one was inside and no one was injured.
When Cheng Qianfan heard about this, he felt it was a pity. The three bosses of the Wenyou Club were all Japanese literati, so why didn't they blow up those three guys?
The Wenyoushe house collapsed, so Zhou Ru stayed at home for the holidays.
Cheng Qianfan sent a report to Nanjing. He used the "Spring and Autumn Writing Method" and only said that he felt that someone was still following and monitoring him. He asked the chief how to deal with it and whether he should fight back hard against the person who was following him.
After sending the report, Cheng Qianfan looked at Zhou Ru's round face and couldn't help but want to make a joke.
“Team leader.” Zhou Ru took out a telegram and handed it to him.
Cheng Qianfan took the telegram and took a look at it.
The message was not translated, which indicated that the call was of a higher level and Zhou Ru did not have the codebook.
This is not a message that has been contacted by the special situation team before.
Cheng Qianfan was surprised in his heart, but remained calm on his face.
It was actually a message from Sheng Shuyu.
…
“The telegram was received at 5:30 this morning.” Zhou Ru said.
The team leader ordered her to turn on the phone at 5:30 every morning.
She turned on the telegraph machine on time every day, but she never received a telegram. Several days passed.
This morning, Zhou Ru turned on the telegraph machine as usual, but a telegram came.
Cheng Qianfan nodded.
He had met with Dai Chunfeng before. Dai Chunfeng said that Sheng Shuyu would stay in Shanghai for a while. Sheng Shuyu brought a radio station with him. For the sake of confidentiality, Sheng Shuyu would not contact him. If necessary, he would contact him by telegram.
The two parties agreed to turn on the transceiver at 5:30 every morning. If contact is really necessary, the message will be sent at a fixed point at this time.
Cheng Qianfan told Zhou Ru to be on guard outside. He entered Zhou Ru's bedroom inside and translated the message.
Soon, the telegram was translated.
Cheng Qianfan picked up the translation manuscript and read it. Sheng Shuyu mentioned two pieces of information, or two tasks, in the message.
One: Masao Nishida, an important Japanese spy leader in North China, is suspected of sneaking into Shanghai. Sheng Shuyu asked the "Blue Bird" to pay more attention to this matter. In the message, Sheng Shuyu also stated that the matter had been reported to the Nanjing headquarters, and the headquarters agreed.
Second: According to reliable information, Japanese Prime Minister Konoe, Prime Minister Sugiyama, Prime Minister Yoonai, and Foreign Minister Hirota held a four-phase meeting to decide on the "Outline for Handling Incidents in China" and ordered Cheng Qianfan to try to investigate the matter and strive to obtain the outline. details.
Cheng Qianfan looked at the telegram in his hand, touched his chin, and thought.
Although the call was sent in the name of Sheng Shuyu, both the content and the tone of the message gave him a strange feeling:
This is more like a message sent in the tone of Virgo Dai.
Dai Chuzuo did not return to Nanjing, is he still staying in Shanghai?
Cheng Qianfan was surprised.
