Chapter 1035 Let’s send Naito-kun off on his way
Wideley No. 33.
“Inspector Lu, here we are.” The rickshaw driver gently stabilized the car and said with a smile.
He took the banknote from Lu Hu's hand and said hurriedly, "More, more."
"Take it if it's given to you." Lu Hu strode forward, "The price of rice keeps changing every day. It's not easy."
“I’m afraid, I’m afraid.” The coachman thanked him profusely. He looked at Lu Hu’s back and bowed very solemnly.
“Brother Lu.”
“Brother Tiger.”
“Brother Tiger.”
The neighbors in Huaili greeted Lu Hu one after another.
Lu Hu responded with a smile. Regarding the old aunt who called him "Brother Tiger", Lu Hu even took a few fruit candies from his pocket to show his respect. The old aunt praised Brother Hu for his filial piety.
“I’m back.” Mrs. Lu, who was busy in the kitchen, stuck her head out, “I’ll roast the duck, steam the fish you brought back yesterday, and have a few more drinks in the evening to relieve my fatigue.”
“Take another cucumber.” Lu Hu said.
“I know.”
Lu Hu glanced at her and said, "Where's my dear girl?"
“I took the little loach out to play.” Mrs. Lu said.
Little Loach is the little maid of the Lu family. She was named this because she looks a little dark. There is also a little maid named Pingguo.
While having dinner, Mrs. Lu noticed that her husband was in a low mood and had been drinking heavily.
“What’s wrong?” she asked.
“Don’t worry about the house arrest,” Lu Hu said.
Hearing what her husband said, Mrs. Lu stopped asking and turned to educate her daughter who was unwilling to eat green peppers.
Lu Hu felt a little melancholy.
Or rather a little nervous.
He didn’t know what his behavior of turning around and informing the Japanese would bring.
It’s not about guilt and uneasiness, it’s about nervousness.
More than four years ago, when Cheng Qianfan just graduated from the police academy and came to the third patrol of the Central Patrol Room, Lu Hu was already an inspector.
He could say that he had truly witnessed Cheng Qianfan step by step from an ordinary patrol officer to the position of deputy chief inspector of the Central Patrol Room.
Lu Hu is the one who knows best how powerful the young Vice President Cheng actually is and how terrifying Cheng Qianfan is.
Many people think that Mr. Cheng’s greatness lies in his position as Deputy Chief Inspector of the Central Patrol Room, which is superficial!
Lu Hu knew very well that Cheng Qianfan's current power and status were indeed based on the position of deputy chief inspector of the Central Patrol Room. However, Cheng Qianfan's power at this time was far beyond the influence of the patrol room.
Let’s put it this way, even if Cheng Qianfan is no longer Vice President Cheng, ‘Mr. Xiao Cheng’ is still ‘Mr. Cheng Xiao’. Cheng Qianfan still has a place in the French Concession and Shanghai Bund.
Therefore, Lu Hu was afraid. He didn't know what the consequences would be if he chose to betray Cheng Qianfan.
Yes, he had been coerced and lured by the Japanese before, and finally defected to the Japanese. However, Lu Hu did not think that he had betrayed Cheng Qianfan:
Mr. Xiao Cheng himself has always been very close to Japanese people.
This time was different. He took Cheng Qianfan's order in person and sold Cheng Qianfan to the Japanese.
This is Chi Luo Luo's betrayal.
Cheng Qianfan wanted to kill Naito Tsubasa. Lu Hu secretly speculated and believed that there were probably three situations:
Cheng Qianfan had something to do with the Anti-Japanese War, and the removal of Naito was inextricably linked to the Anti-Japanese War.
This situation is what Datulu is looking forward to most.
If this is the case, the Japanese will definitely not be able to tolerate Cheng Qianfan.
At the moment, who is the boss in Shanghai?
Naturally, he is Japanese.
Cheng Qianfan, who is suspected of resisting Japan, will definitely not have good results.
In this way, not only does he not have to worry about Cheng Qianfan's retaliation, but once Cheng Qianfan is eliminated by the Japanese, and the Japanese need to continue to maintain control within the patrol house in the French Concession, then he, Da Toulu, is the perfect candidate to succeed Cheng Qianfan.
Deputy Chief Inspector Lu?
Deputy Chief Inspector Lu!
Just thinking about this title, Da Toulu couldn't help but breathe quickly.
In the second case, Cheng Qianfan and Naito Xiaoyu have a personal grudge.
In this case, Lu Hu also did not think that the Japanese would let Cheng Qianfan go.
Cheng Qianfan does have a good relationship with the Japanese, but no matter how good the relationship is, the Japanese will not tolerate Cheng Qianfan doing anything to the Japanese, not to mention Naito Kotsubo is still a diplomat.
Of course, Cheng Qianfan has a slight chance of settling this matter. After all, Lu Hu knows that Cheng Qianfan's Jiujiu Trading seems to have a stake in a big shot in Japan.
The last situation.
Cheng Qianfan attacked Naito Kotsubo, not to mention whether there were other personal grudges involved, but there was a hidden secret——
The hidden truth is that it is actually an internal struggle among the Japanese. A certain group of Japanese want to get rid of Naito, but they cannot do it themselves, so they choose to find Cheng Qianfan to do it.
If this is the case, this is what Da Toulu is most worried about.
This shows that Cheng Qianfan not only will not offend the Japanese because of this matter, but also shows that Cheng Qianfan is deeply trusted by the Japanese.
In this case, once the news of his betrayal of Cheng Qianfan leaked out, Lu Hu had no doubt that Cheng Qianfan would kill him.
At this moment, the phone at home rang.
Little maid Pingguo answered the phone, then covered the phone and said, "Sir, a boss Huang is here to see you."
Da Toulu's face changed slightly, he put down his chopsticks and quickly answered the phone.
…
after an hour.
Telastro Road, Telford Hotel.
Lu Hu stood respectfully and listened to Araki Harima's instructions.
“Cheng Qianfan wants to kill Naito, just obey his orders.” Araki Harima said.
"Mr. Araki, Naito is..." Oturu's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that the situation he was most worried about may have occurred.
"Don't ask so much, just follow orders." Araki Harima said calmly.
"Mr. Araki, it's not that I'm nagging, but this incident is really too shocking." Lu Hu smiled bitterly, "This is the man who killed the Japanese Empire."
"I, I understand..." Da Toulu frowned and sighed in his heart.
This is the situation that worries him the most.
As if he could see Oturu's worry, Araki Harima said, "You don't have to worry about anything."
He patted Da Toulu on the shoulder, "No one will know that you came to report this matter to me."
As he said that, Araki Harima gave Datulu a smile on his face, "In fact, you knew that Cheng Qianfan was going to take action against the people of the empire, so I'm very happy to be able to report it as soon as possible. It shows that you have great concern for the empire." loyalty."
Hearing what Araki Harima said, the stone in Oturu's heart finally fell to the ground at this moment.
"Then I will report to the inspector tomorrow morning and prepare to take action." Datou Lu thought for a while and said.
"Oh?" Araki Harima looked surprised, "Have you figured out the whereabouts of Naito Tsubasa? Do you have a plan of action?"
“I have obtained exact information. Tsubasa Naito has been going to the TEDA Apartment on Xujiahui Road almost every day recently,” Lu Hu said.
In the French Concession, the patrol office is a local snake, especially for senior police officers like Da Toulu, who have spent more than ten years climbing up the ranks step by step from the patrol. As long as they have determined the target, have a name, a surname, a workplace, and even mastered the It is not difficult to find out a person's whereabouts based on his appearance.
"TEDA Apartment?" Araki Harima looked thoughtful, "Are you planning to take action in the French Concession?"
"The French Concession is our territory, and it is cheapest to do it in the French Concession." Big Tou Lu Si thought, "However, the disadvantages are also obvious."
He gave Araki a cigarette with both hands, lit the cigarette, and continued, "A murder occurred in the French Concession, and it involved diplomats from the Empire of Japan. This is no small matter."
Araki Harima nodded.
He chuckled, "You report your action plan to Cheng Qianfan and let him choose."
Speaking, Araki Harima patted Lu Hu on the shoulder, "In this case, you are just following orders. Even if something happens, Cheng Qianfan will be there to support you."
“Mr. Araki’s opinion, that’s indeed the truth.” Datoulu nodded happily.
Hearing what Araki Harima said and feeling Araki Harima's protection for him, Otoro finally felt completely at ease. He believed in Araki Harima's guarantee and believed that Araki Harima would not reveal his informant to Cheng Qianfan. .
…
After Da Toulu left, the door to the inner room that had been closed opened and Cheng Qianfan walked out.
"Objectively speaking, Lu Hu is indeed a more capable person." Araki Harima said with a sigh.
Lu Hu was the detective in his hands, a deputy inspector of the French Concession Patrol Room, and he was quite capable. It was a pity for him to give up like this.
“The stronger the ability and the smarter, the greater the harm.” Cheng Qianfan said with a cold snort.
“That’s the truth.” Araki Harima looked solemn and nodded.
Miyazaki-kun is right. The stronger and smarter Oturo is, the more he deserves to die and must be silenced.
“You heard just now that Lu Hu was considering taking action in TEDA Apartment. What do you think?” Araki Harima asked.
Cheng Qianfan did not answer immediately, but lit a cigarette and smoked slowly, frowning and thinking.
"It is indeed a bit troublesome to take action in the French Concession." Cheng Qianfan said, "The main reason is the impact after the incident. An imperial diplomat was unfortunately killed in the French Concession. The empire is bound to put pressure on the French Concession. This will bring me pressure."
As he spoke, there was light in Cheng Qianfan's eyes, "However, everything has its good and its bad. If I can resist the pressure from the empire with a strong attitude..."
"As far as the French Concession authorities are concerned, they are happy to see your tough attitude." Araki Harima took over and said, "You have always been very close to the empire. The more so, the more decisive the moment, the French will stand firm." The better you feel."
Cheng Qianfan raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, "That's true."
As he spoke, he took a puff of his cigarette, "The most important thing is that I chose to do it in TEDA Apartment. This is my territory. I can control the matter in my hands. Even if there are some omissions, I can make up for them in time."
Araki Harima nodded. What Miyazaki-kun said is also very important. This matter must not involve Miyazaki-kun, him, or the special high school class.
Yes, even some people may guess that Naito Tsubasa's death is related to Miyazaki-kun because Naito Tsubasa is currently investigating Miyazaki-kun.
But, evidence!
Need evidence!
Miyazaki-kun is not an ordinary person. This does not refer to his power and status in the French Concession Patrol House. If it is really just a Chinese deputy chief inspector of the French Concession Patrol House who killed Naito Kotsubo, this seemingly Xuanhe identity is not at all The empire will look down on him, and the empire will take a series of oppressive actions to force the French Concession authorities to make concessions, and will inevitably require the French Concession authorities to hand over the murderer.
But, Miyazaki-kun is different.
Hyoutaro Imamura informed that Naito Tsubasa sent people to secretly follow Miyazaki-kun. This in itself is an expression of attitude.
As for the section chief, the section chief sent him to discuss with Miyazaki-kun. What were they discussing? Wasn't it because they were discussing getting rid of Naito Kotsubo?
Miyazaki-kun has long had murderous intentions towards Naito Tsubasa, but what about the section chief? Naito reported to the Military Police Headquarters that Special High School Agent Kentaro Miyazaki had a problem. How could the section chief not have a grudge?
For various reasons, Araki Harima even had an intuition that the section chief might not be inferior to Miyazaki-kun in his desire to kill Naito.
Therefore, Miyazaki-kun has the secret endorsement of Hyōtaro Imamura and the section chief. Even if the empire puts pressure on him, without evidence, it will not cause substantial harm to Miyazaki-kun:
The Consulate General is responsible for the death of Naito Tsubasa, Counselor Imamura is Naito’s immediate superior, and the Special High School is the investigating agency...the Military Police Headquarters? Kawada Atsuto of the Military Police Headquarters is a good friend of Miyazaki-kun, Kawada Atsuto is a close confidant of Commander Ikeuchi, and Counselor Imamura is a good friend of Commander Ikeuchi.
Thinking of this, Araki Harima shook his head and clicked his tongue:
Naito Tsubasa really deserves to die.
…
The next day.
No. 22, Xue Huali Road.
Da Toulu held an aluminum lunch box in his hand and knocked on the door of Vice President Cheng's office with a smile.
“Inspector, please try the glutinous rice cake made by my mother-in-law.” Da Toulu handed over the aluminum lunch box.
"I have long heard that my sister-in-law is good at cooking. I must try this." Cheng Qianfan chuckled and watched Da Toulu open the lunch box. He pinched a glutinous rice cake and stuffed it into his mouth. Then his eyes lit up and he was full of praise. "Not bad, the heat is just right."
“Inspector, the whereabouts of Naito Tsubasa have been found.” Oturu said with a smile.
"Oh?" Cheng Qianfan ate another glutinous rice cake, then took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, "Tell me and listen."
Datulu then described the information he had obtained in detail.
"TEDA Apartment." Cheng Qianfan looked thoughtful, then snorted coldly, "I know how to hide it."
He glanced at Da Toulu and said, "Tell me your plan."
Da Toulu thought for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, and then stated his plan seriously.
“Naito Tsubasa usually stays in the public concessions, mainly in Hongkou District, which is the territory of the Japanese and it is extremely difficult to take action.”
He glanced at Cheng Qianfan and said, "The TEDA Apartment is our territory, so it's easy to do anything. But if Naito dies like this... it will be very troublesome."
Cheng Qianfan pressed his hand and signaled Da Toulu to shut up and think carefully.
Mr. Cheng’s expression changed continuously. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, “Let’s do it in TEDA Apartment.”
Looking at Lu Hu's worried expression, he comforted his men and said, "Don't worry, Naito deserves to die, someone will be responsible for Naito's death."
Hearing what Cheng Qianfan said, Lu Hu looked relieved and asked, "Then, when will we do it? Today?"
“The pressure is tight over there.” Cheng Qianfan showed a meaningful expression and said to Datoulu, “The weather is good today, let’s send Mr. Naito on his way.”
Datoulu glanced out the window. Dark clouds were approaching, and a heavy rain seemed likely to hit at any time...
