Chapter 1129 Xiao Mian’s hidden identity is...
“Araki-kun, fine sake.” Cheng Qianfan and Koike entered Araki Harima’s office. He took out a bottle of wine from his briefcase and said happily, “Drink the good wine from Kyoto with you.”
"I knew Miyazaki-kun would not forget us if he had good wine." Araki Harima was very happy, took the sake and took a look at it, and said to Koike, motioning for the two of them to sit down.
“It’s disrespectful to provide poor hospitality.”
Cheng Qianfan glanced at the table, which contained a plate of cucumbers, a plate of salted dried fish, and a plate of peanuts. His eyes paused for a moment on one leg of the table.
He nodded, "It's indeed a bit shabby."
“Hahaha.” Araki Harima laughed loudly, “Of course I can’t compare with you ‘Mr. Xiao Cheng’. If you think the food and wine here are shabby, please bring some food and wine with you next time you come to drink.”
“No problem.” Cheng Qianfan nodded seriously.
Araki Harima and Koike both laughed.
Araki Harima directly unscrewed the mouth of the sake bottle, took out the wine cup and filled it, and said, "Miyazaki-kun, if you don't come to me tonight, I will meet you tomorrow."
“But is there something wrong?” Cheng Qianfan pinched a small dried fish with his hands and chewed it carefully. His eyes suddenly lit up. “This is my wife’s craftsmanship. I remember the taste.”
“I usually don’t want to eat these small dried fish.” Araki Harima said with emotion, “I have been away from my hometown for many years and have been fighting for the country. Only the small dried fish sent by my wife can relieve my homesickness.”
“Thank you.” Cheng Qianfan quickly stood up and bowed very solemnly.
Araki Harima also bowed solemnly.
…
"Araki-kun is going to see me tomorrow..." Cheng Qianfan clinked glasses with Araki Harima and Koike and asked, "But what's the matter?"
"It's not that I have anything to do with you." Araki Harima's expression was serious and his voice lowered slightly, "It was the section chief who asked me to ask you about the progress of the investigation."
Hearing Araki Harima talk about this, Cheng Qianfan immediately complained and explained, "Araki-kun, you know me, and you have always done the work assigned by the section chief very seriously."
He clinked glasses with Araki Harima, "I ordered the detectives from the patrol room to search the hospitals and clinics in the central district, and secretly ordered my subordinates to keep an eye on those hospitals and private clinics with X-ray equipment..."
He took a sip of wine and said, "It can be said that all clinics and hospitals in the entire French Concession that can perform gunshot wound surgeries and X-ray examinations are under surveillance and search, but no trace of Sheng Shuyu has been found."
Cheng Qianfan filled his own wine cup and drank a glass. "We caught a few guys with gunshot wounds, but most of them were gangsters and water bandits, and they had nothing to do with anti-Japanese activities."
"Miyazaki-kun has always carried out the section chief's orders with the strictest attitude." Koike heard this and helped Kentaro Miyazaki. "Since Miyazaki-kun said so, I believe he has done his best to search. Sheng Shuyu is here."
"It's not that I don't believe Miyazaki-kun." Araki Harima shook his head, "It's just that the section chief is urging me very urgently."
He looked at Kentaro Miyazaki and said, "Miyazaki-kun, as time goes on, it will become more and more difficult for us to find Sheng Shuyu. You should also know this."
“I understand.” Cheng Qianfan’s expression was serious and he frowned slightly. “I will order again tomorrow to conduct safety lectures and investigations on hospitals and clinics, and conduct another screening in secret.”
“Thank you for your hard work.” Araki Harima toasted Kentaro Miyazaki with a glass of wine.
"After all, Cheng Qianfan has not publicly surrendered to the empire, so I can only order a search for other reasons." Cheng Qianfan frowned and said, "And it is not ruled out that there are patrols and inquiries in the patrol room who are secretly dissatisfied with the empire, so it is impossible to Conduct a thorough and rigorous search."
He looked at Araki Harima, "At this point, the Chinese people at the secret service headquarters can be more careful and conscientious."
Cheng Qianfan showed doubts, "No. 76 must also be searching for traces of Sheng Shuyu and Xiao Mian. They are the most direct parties to this incident and should be more familiar with and understand the situation than us. They have not made any progress." ?”
"According to the information I have, there is no substantial progress there." Araki Harima shook his head.
…
"This is strange." Cheng Qianfan frowned, "Sheng Shuyu was seriously injured, and it is said that many of Xiao Mian's men were shot. Since they were injured, they must be diagnosed and treated, especially Sheng Shuyu, who must undergo surgery..."
He thought about it and took a sip of wine, "Unless-"
“Unless Chongqing has a very hidden private clinic in Shanghai.” Xiaochi added.
"To be precise, this private clinic should be affiliated with the Shanghai Special Situation Group and is secretly controlled by Xiao Mian." Araki Harima added.
Speaking, Araki Harima paused and fell into thinking.
“Araki-kun, have you thought of it?” Xiaochi said.
Then what Xiaochi was about to say was stopped by Cheng Qianfan making a 'shh' gesture.
Cheng Qianfan signaled Koike with his eyes: Don’t disturb Mr. Araki’s thoughts.
"According to my experience, the best concealers often have reasonable concealment of their identity." Araki Harima said after thinking for a moment, looking at the two people.
"That's true." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "It is very important to properly conceal one's identity."
He looked at Araki Harima, "Did Araki-kun think of something?"
"If, I mean if -" Araki Harima smiled slightly, "Xiao Mian needs a reasonable identity to hide, what identity do you think is most suitable."
Faced with this question raised by Araki Harima, Cheng Qianfan and Xiaochi both fell into thinking.
“Police station!” Cheng Qianfan said, “Or the police station.”
Facing their gazes, he continued, "The Shanghai Police Department is a mixed bag, which is very suitable for people with ulterior motives to lurk."
"Miyazaki-kun's guess is indeed possible." Araki Harima said, but he shook his head with a smile, "However, the empire attaches great importance to the loyalty of the police station and will conduct internal secret reviews from time to time. If you want to hide it in the police station, Going down will not be easy.”
"As for the patrol room..." He looked at Kentaro Miyazaki and motioned for his friend to continue.
"Whether it's the police station or the patrol room, it's the same thing." Cheng Qianfan shook his head and said, "I just subconsciously thought that if Xiao Mian thought that the most dangerous place was the safest, he would choose the police station or the patrol room. However, now I Think about it carefully..."
After a pause, Cheng Qianfan continued, "If it's another patrol room, I can't define it. If this person chooses to hide in the central patrol room, he will definitely be clever but be fooled by his cleverness."
He looked at the two of them with a proud look on his lips, "My biggest advantage compared to outsiders is that they think I am Cheng Qianfan..."
“Actually, you are Kentaro Miyazaki.” Koike nodded.
Araki Harima also nodded.
Both of them understood the meaning of what Kentaro Whitezaki just said. If Xiao Mian really tried to lurk in the central patrol room, it would be tantamount to throwing himself into a trap:
Hence, Miyazaki-kun’s central police station is precisely one of the most trustworthy police stations in the French Concession, and suspicion can be eliminated first.
…
“Koike-kun, what do you think?” Araki Harima looked at Koike.
Before Koike could speak, Kentaro Miyazaki suddenly smiled. He pointed at Harima Araki and said to Koike, "Koike-kun, you understand now. Araki-kun must have thought of the key to the problem. Look at the pride on Araki-kun's lips... "
"Sure enough..." Koike looked at Araki Harima, nodded and said.
Araki Harima was told by the two people that he couldn't hide the proud look on his lips anymore, or in other words, he didn't want to hide it at all.
Under the gaze of the two people, the wise Araki Harima expressed his guess and judgment.
His eyes shone with wisdom, "You two, I do have a guess—"
He looked at the two of them and said, "You think, if Xiao Mian is a doctor with excellent medical skills, or even a surgeon, then..."
Koike first glanced at Araki Harima in surprise, and then showed a thoughtful expression.
Cheng Qianfan first fell into thinking, and then showed a look of surprise. He looked at Araki Harima with an expression of admiration, shook his head and sighed, "Araki-kun, sometimes I really want to open your head and see what's inside. Something."
As he spoke, Cheng Qianfan showed an excited look, "According to Araki-kun's analysis, Xiao Mian is an excellent surgeon. He even has a clinic, a clinic with relatively advanced equipment..."
"It doesn't have to be a clinic, it may be that Xiao Mian himself is doing surgery in a certain hospital." Araki Harima shook his head, "Whether he has a clinic or is working in a hospital, with Xiao Mian's ability and wisdom, no matter he is If you want to treat Sheng Shuyu secretly, or hide this patient, or both, you can do it."
"I understand what Araki-kun means." Koike said, he looked at Miyazaki Kentaro, "Miyazaki-kun, whether it is the search arranged by you or the search arranged by the special agent headquarters, it is based on the fact that Sheng Shuyu was hidden in a hospital or clinic. To treat this prerequisite, such a search is aimed at ordinary hiding.”
"I understand." Cheng Qianfan quickly understood after Xiaochi's reminder. He nodded solemnly, "The situation Araki-kun mentioned is far worse than a hospital or clinic violating the ban to treat a gunshot wound." More secretive, or better prepared.”
He was holding a wine cup in his hand. "Dr. Xiao Mian personally participated in the treatment and hiding. He must have prepared a hiding plan in advance. A hasty search will not result in a satisfactory result in the face of the other party's careful preparation."
The three of them looked at each other and nodded.
Then, Cheng Qianfan looked at Araki Harima with eyes full of admiration and admiration, "Although it is just a guess and analysis, the more I think about it, the more I feel that Araki-kun's analysis is very reasonable."
He looked at Xiaochi and said, "This gives me the feeling that Mr. Araki revealed it with one word. The enemy's subterfuge can be said to be completely invisible to Mr. Araki."
“As Miyazaki-kun said just now, I also want to split open Araki-kun’s brain to see what’s growing in his brain.” Koike also added in amusement.
"Two, two." Araki Harima waved his hands repeatedly, but his mouth seemed to be grinning from ear to ear, "I'm just good at thinking, not that exaggerated, not that exaggerated."
…
"By the way, Miyazaki-kun, why did you come to see me?" Araki Harima enjoyed the compliments and admiration of the two people, and was in a very good mood. Only then did he think of asking his friend Miyazaki why he came today.
“I heard that Mr. Kikube was injured, so I came to the Special High School to visit him.” Cheng Qianfan said seriously.
"Really?" Araki Harima looked at Kentaro Miyazaki, his tone and expression full of disbelief. He knew his good friend too well. Miyazaki-kun and Kikube are now having conflicts. This good friend of his is indeed very kind to his friends. Sincerity, but being very vindictive towards unfriendly people.
“I heard that Mr. Kikube was injured on his face. I came to take a look.” Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, “I have seen a guy with one ear, but I have never seen a warrior with his face bitten off.”
Hearing the undisguised sarcasm in Miyazaki Kentaro's words, Araki Harima frowned slightly:
Miyazaki-kun has great contempt for the Chinese people. In his words, he even compared Kikube Kano with Cao Yu, the Chinese. This shows that Miyazaki-kun has a bad attitude towards Kikube Kano.
Araki Harima looked at Koike.
"Miyazaki-kun just met Kikube-kun in the corridor." Koike said. "Miyazaki-kun asked about Kikube-kun's injury with concern, and the two had a friendly exchange."
Araki Harima couldn't hold it back and laughed directly. He shook his head with a smile. He could already imagine the quarrel between Kentaro Miyazaki and Hiroyuki Kikube when they met just now.
At this moment, the phone in Araki Harima’s office rang.
“Moxi moxi.”
“Hai!”
Araki Harima put down the phone receiver and looked at Koike, "Koike-kun, the section chief asks you to come over."
“You two, please drink slowly, I’ll excuse you for now.” Xiaochi stood up and said.
Cheng Qianfan also quickly stood up, saluted, and said goodbye to Xiaochi.
…
After Xiaochi left, Cheng Qianfan's expression became solemn.
“The conflict between you and Kikube has reached the point of being irreconcilable?” Araki Harima also asked with a serious expression.
“It’s not that the relationship between Kikube and I cannot be reconciled.” Cheng Qianfan said with a gloomy face, “it’s that the relationship between Kikube and me cannot be reconciled.”
Araki Harima nodded slightly, he understood what his friend meant:
It is Kikube who is at odds with Miyazaki-kun, and the problem lies with Hiroyuki Kikube!
Yes, Miyazaki-kun is so sincere towards his friends and how much he cherishes the friendship of friends.
Such Miyazaki-kun and Kikube Kano can make enemies, so the problem must lie with Kikube Kano.
Furthermore, Araki Harima also knows the inside story of the two incidents where the relationship between Kikube Kano and Miyazaki-kun is tense and the conflict is getting deeper and deeper. It is indeed Kikube Kano's problem.
Cheng Qianfan frowned, his face becoming increasingly gloomy.
“What’s wrong?” Araki Harima asked.
"Araki-kun." Cheng Qianfan looked serious. He lit a cigarette and took a deep breath before continuing, "I suspect that Kikube arranged for someone to spy on me."
"Spying on you secretly?" Araki Harima's face also darkened, "Who is spying on you? When did it happen?"
"Cao Yu." Cheng Qianfan sneered, gritting his teeth, his expression gloomy and scary, "A guy whose face was bitten arranged for a Chinese man with one ear to monitor me."
He snorted coldly, "It's a perfect match."
