Vol 3 Chapter 1131: Sure enough there is a problem!

Chapter 1131 There is indeed a problem!

Araki Harima’s expression changed.

For no other reason, the name Seto Uchigawa is taboo in the Shanghai Special Higher Education School.

Especially in front of the section chief, Mimoto Jiro, we should try our best to avoid mentioning the name Setouchi River.

Although more than three years have passed, the mark of shame left by Seto Uchigawa, a traitor to the empire, to Shanghai Special High School has not been eliminated. On the contrary, as Seto Uchigawa has been "unpunished", this name is like a thorn. The Shanghai Special Higher Education Course is like a lump in the throat.

It can be said that unless the Special High School personally catches the traitor Seto Uchigawa, the shame brought by Seto Uchigawa to Shanghai Super High School will forever linger there.

Therefore, even Araki Harima's face changed drastically when he heard Kentaro Miyazaki mention the name Setouchi River.

“Miyazaki-kun, you said that Kikube is an accomplice of Seto Uchigawa, is there any evidence?” Araki Harima asked hurriedly.

This matter is different from Miyazaki-kun's belief that there is a connection between Cao Yu and Kikube. The former is just a trivial matter. However, if Kikube Hiroo is confirmed to be Setouchi Gawa's accomplice, Seto Uchigawa will remain in the Super High School. If there are hidden spies inside, then the nature of this matter is completely different:

Shanghai University cannot bear the consequences of another imperial traitor being discovered within its ranks.

“Well, the evidence…” Kentaro Miyazaki looked embarrassed.

Araki Harima breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was also very dissatisfied with Kikube Kano, as far as the public was concerned, he still didn't want to see that Kikube Kano was a traitor in the special high school class.

"Miyazaki-kun, don't talk nonsense without evidence." Araki Harima said in a deep voice. Seeing that Miyazaki Kentaro was about to defend himself, his voice inevitably became a little harsher. "Miyazaki-kun, you should be aware of the impact of the Setouchi River incident on The negative impact of the Special Higher Education Course is related to the Seto Inland River and must not be lightly involved."

As if being irritated by Araki Harima’s stern eyes and words, Miyazaki Kentaro looked gloomy and did not give in. He argued forcefully, “If there was no evidence, I would not say that...”

“Where’s the evidence?” Araki Harima asked with a serious expression.

"Evidence..." Cheng Qianfan took several puffs of cigarette, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.

Araki Harima shook his head. He knew his friend. He was a stubborn and stubborn guy. The conflict between Miyazaki-kun and Kikube was obviously very deep, and his attitude just now irritated this guy, which made Miyazaki-kun lose face. If you can't get through, you are obviously racking your brains to find a reason.

"Miyazaki-kun, okay, the name of Setouchi River..." Araki Harima persuaded.

He actually didn't mind if his friend tried to talk to Kikube Hiroo about something, but the name Seto Uchigawa was not allowed.

“The evidence is—” Cheng Qianfan, who was racking his brains, suddenly brightened up in his eyes and said eagerly, “Hiroyuki Kikube is from Hiroshima.”

"Miyazaki-kun!" Araki Harima said with a serious expression, "I can understand your mood, but please don't continue to dwell on this issue."

From Araki Harima's point of view, his friend's behavior is already a mess. The traitor in Setouchi River is from Kanagawa, Kanto, and Hiroyuki Kikube is from Hiroshima. There is no way they can be related to each other.

Furthermore, to take a step back, even if Kikube Hiroo is from the same hometown as Seto Uchigawa and is also from Kanagawa, then - well, that really should be investigated!

“Shuigu Nei!” Cheng Qianfan said eagerly, “Shuigu Nei, Mr. Araki, do you still remember this person?”

"Mizutani?" Araki Harima was slightly surprised. This last name seemed familiar to him, but he didn't think of it at all.

“The Nanwan Bunker garrison of the Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo Railway Garrison!” Cheng Qianfan quickly reminded, “It was the time when Setouchi River pretended to be an imperial citizen and lied and attacked the imperial bunker.”

When Miyazaki Kentaro said this, Araki Harima was immediately impressed.

“You mean Mizutaniuchi Yuji.” Araki Harima said, “I remember that Setouchi River used the fake name Mizutaniuchi Yuji at that time.”

“Yes, it’s Mizutani Yuuji.” Cheng Qianfan saw that Araki Harima had remembered, he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded happily, “I only remember Mizutani, I forgot the specific name, but Araki-kun has a good memory.”

“What does this mean?” Araki Harima shook his head. Suddenly, he was stunned, and then fell into deep thought.

For a moment, Araki Harima looked at his friend with a serious expression, "You are saying that Mizutani Yuji and Kikube may know each other."

At that time, the reason for investigating Mizutaniuchi Yuji, the fake name used by Setouchi River, was because after careful analysis, he, the section chief, and Kentaro Miyazaki all believed that Setouchi River would not use this fake name casually, and people subconsciously The use of a certain name is most likely due to the presence of this person in his life and work.

Hence, the Special High School Division once secretly investigated the name Mizutani Yuji.

However, after a period of investigation, it was found that there was no such person as Mizutani Yuji, or that there was no such imperial citizen named Mizutani Yuji in Shanghai.

Later, Mimoto Jiro conducted investigations in Japan through his own connections. It was found that there were indeed several people named Mizutaniuchi Yuji in Japan. However, these imperial subjects had never left the island and lived a normal life. Everything works normally, nothing suspicious.

Hence, the conclusion of the investigation about Mizutaniuchi Yuji is that this is just a fake name casually made up by Seto Uchigawa and has no special meaning.

Now, Miyazaki-kun suddenly mentioned the name Mizutaniuchi Yuji in "an emergency" and connected this name with Hiroyuki Kikube.

This seems very absurd, but the problem is that after Araki Harima thought about it carefully, he suddenly felt that the reason given by his friend while scratching his head, although it was very far-fetched, seemed to be related to each other. The roots are very thin.

Because, among the several imperial subjects named Mizutani Yuji found in previous investigations, one Mizutani Yuji lived in Yamaguchi County.

Yamaguchi Prefecture is adjacent to Hiroshima Prefecture.

Hiroyuki Kikube is a native of Hiroshima Prefecture.

“No one can disturb you without my order.” Araki Harima opened the door and came to the corridor and said to an agent.

"yes!"

“Yamaguchi Prefecture is the westernmost county in Honshu, Japan. It is adjacent to Hiroshima and Shimane Prefectures in the northeast.” Araki Harima said while holding a map stick in his right hand and pointing to the map of Japan’s main island.

Seeing that his friend was about to blurt out, Araki Harima made a gesture to stop him. He said with a serious expression, "Miyazaki-kun, I know you are very dissatisfied with Kikube, but now is a very serious and prudent work moment. I hope Miyazaki Saki-kun can put official business first."

Cheng Qianfan showed a hint of embarrassment. He understood what Araki Harima meant:

I know what you are thinking. You want to take the opportunity to drag Seto Uchigawa onto Kikube. However, please put the overall situation first and don't do this!

Miyazaki Kentaro, who had "seen through Araki's malicious intentions" by Araki Harima, smiled, and then his expression became serious.

Cheng Qianfan did not answer immediately, but thought for a moment before speaking, "I just thought that Mizutani Yuji is from Yamaguchi, and Yamaguchi County is adjacent to Hiroshima County."

 He stood up and bowed slightly to Araki Harima, "Araki-kun, I actually have no evidence that Kikube is related to Seto Uchigawa. I just thought of a rigid reason just because of face."

"Miyazaki-kun, thank you for your honesty." Araki Harima stood up and returned the greeting. What he most admired and was most satisfied with Miyazaki-kun, besides being sincere to his friends, was that this friend was honest enough when facing him.

"Now let's re-analyze this matter rationally and carefully." Araki Harima said seriously, "Miyazaki-kun, you said this reason is mechanical, but -"

He looked at Miyazaki Kentaro, "But now that you think about it carefully, don't you think that your discovery is like discovering a blind spot that we have not noticed before."

Araki Harima's eyes were shining, and he became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, "In the previous investigation, we only found out that there were no suspicions about a few imperial subjects named Mizutaniuchi Yuji in the country, and then the investigation was terminated."

"Judging from the situation at the time, there was no problem in terminating the investigation. However, looking at it now, the reason why the investigation was terminated was because we only focused the investigation on the name Yuji Mizutaniuchi. When we found out that his name was Mizutaniuchi, The people of Yuji’s empire have no problem and subconsciously think that everything is normal.”

Cheng Qianfan handed Araki a cigarette and personally helped Araki light it so that Araki could better display and use his wise mind.

“It is wrong to not continue to conduct in-depth investigation into each Mizutani Yuji’s life background, possible friends, work background, etc. This is wrong.” Araki Harima said in a deep voice.

"Araki-kun." Cheng Qianfan frowned. He had to interrupt and reminded his friend, "That's impossible. We can't spend so much manpower and material resources to investigate those unless there is new evidence to prove that there is indeed such a thing. necessary."

“Isn’t there a new discovery now?” Araki Harima said with a smile. He pointed at the map and drew a straight line between Yamaguchi County and Hiroshima County, “Yamaguchi County, Hiroshima County.”

Then he clicked on Kanagawa Prefecture on the map, "The possibility that Setouchi River in Kanagawa Prefecture knew and heard of Mizutani Yuji was very low. So, from whose mouth did he know Mizutani Yuji?" ?”

Whose mouth?

There is only one answer: the most likely thing is from the mouth of Hiroo Kikube.

Cheng Qianfan's eyes lit up, and then he nodded, with a hint of expectation that could not be successfully concealed in his sinister look, "So, I just said that Kikube Hiroo was an accomplice of Seto Uchigawa, My suspicion was right!”

Araki Harima naturally caught the look of expectation for success that could not be concealed in his friend's eyes, and he smiled in his heart. It seemed that Miyazaki-kun's anger and dissatisfaction with Kikube was deeper than imagined.

In other words, this can be described as hatred.

He didn't mind this.

"Of course it cannot be so simple to conclude that Kikube is an accomplice of Seto Uchigawa." Araki Harima shook his head, "Even if Seto Uchigawa did know the name Mizutani Yuji from Kikube's mouth, this in itself is nothing. special."

Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly disappointedly.

Yes, there is nothing special about this in itself. After all, before Seto Uchigawa betrayed the empire, he and Kikube Kano were colleagues, and it was normal for them to have contacts both in public and private matters.

“But—” Araki Harima looked solemn, “If we assume that Kikube Kano really knows Yuji Mizutaniuchi from Yamaguchi Prefecture, then what is certain now is that Kikube concealed this!”

"Araki-kun is right." Cheng Qianfan's eyes lit up, "That must be the case. Kikube Hiroyuki has something in his heart. He clearly knows that we are investigating Mizutani Yuji, but he pretends not to know anything. , there must be a problem."

He became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, and he did not forget to add, "Hiroshima Prefecture is adjacent to Yamaguchi Prefecture. Even if Kikube doesn't know Yuji Mizutaniuchi, he must have heard of this person, so-"

Miyazaki Kentaro was so happy that he almost jumped up and said, "Kikube, he is deliberately hiding it!"

He is really excited!

Last year, the Special High School secretly investigated the name Yuji Mizutaniuchi. Cheng Qianfan was in charge of the investigation of the French Concession.

At that time, he once considered whether to make some articles in this investigation to lead the suspicion of "Setouchi River's accomplices" to someone within the Super High School Division or the Mitsui Residence and other Japanese special agencies. However, careful attention was paid to After thinking about it, Cheng Qianfan decisively gave up this plan.

Making a fuss in this kind of investigation can easily lead to getting burned, and once you do something in it, it will be counterproductive. Once the enemy discovers that there is something fishy in it, it will attract the enemy's attention; even if this possibility is extremely small, it will be counterproductive. Can't take risks.

Therefore, in this investigation, Cheng Qianfan was really conducting a serious investigation according to Sanbonjiro's request. Of course, the result of the investigation was that there was no such person as Yuji Mizutaniuchi in the French Concession, and there had never been such a person in the French Concession. appeared.

Even later, he learned from Sanbonjiro that there was no Japanese like Mizutaniuchi Yuji in Shanghai. Later, several people named Mizutaniuchi Yuji were found on the main island of Japan, and these people None of them are suspicious, and the investigation on the name Mizutani Yuji ends here—

The Japanese investigation on this ended here, but Cheng Qianfan secretly recorded the relevant information of those Japanese named Mizutani Yuji.

This is not that he has planned to use this to make a plan of action, this is just a habit:

An 'intelligence' that has been carefully investigated by the Japanese secret service and even investigated in Japan through clearing up relationships. Although it has been proven to be invalid intelligence, in the eyes of an ace agent, this kind of information that has been carefully investigated and has been abandoned Invalid information, once used at a suitable moment, has the power to make many people subconsciously 'suddenly realize'!

After deciding to take action against Kikube, his mind started to spin rapidly——

 There is no doubt that the name Seto Uchigawa is taboo in the special high school. If Kikube Hiroo and Comrade Liu Bo can be linked together, even if Kikube is innocent, it will cause a lot of commotion.

Then, the ‘knowledge reserve’ from a year ago, Yuji Mizutaniuchi, who lives in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, emerged from his mind.

And all he had to do was to use the right emotions, words, actions, and postures, and when he was so 'face-conscious' that he became a little angry, and under Araki Harima's 'questioning', he finally racked his brains and came up with a way to 'trap' Kikube. The reason for this is to propose the name Mizutani Yuji, and later on, the wise Araki Harima will make all this happen.
