Cheng Qianfan’s brows frowned slightly.
Just now, he had intended to inquire about Wang Reclamation's situation from Okada Toshihiko.
Although Cheng Qianfan still has not fully understood the specific operation of the Mei Agency, Okada Toshihiko said before that the Mei Agency "is a secret service agency established by the empire to handle and guide all matters related to Wang Reclamation."
Obviously, Mei Guan is the emperor-like existence above Wang's head.
Therefore, others may not know whether Wang Chuanhai was injured in the assassination incident and the extent of his injuries. It is impossible for the Mei Agency not to know the inside story.
However, Cheng Qianfan thought again and again and chose to give up 'inquiring'.
Miyazaki Kentaro is concerned about Wang Qianhai’s physical condition?
Is this a problem?
Perhaps there is no problem. After all, after experiencing such an assassination, it seems reasonable for Kentaro Miyazaki, as a person involved, to casually care about Wang Qianhai's situation.
Perhaps there is a problem.
Why is there a problem?
This is exactly what Okada Toshihiko had in mind:
Why are you so concerned about Wang Reclamation's situation?
Once this doubt arises, it will be more troublesome.
As a latent agent, one of the most basic principles is that when there may not be trouble, or there may be trouble, treat it as "it will definitely cause trouble."
Cheng Qianfan also considered mentioning Liu Xia's talk about Wang Qihai's visit to a Chinese medicine doctor without leaving a trace when reporting to Toshihiko Okada, so as to guide Toshihiko Okada to continue the topic.
However, he still decisively gave up this plan.
The reason is generally the same as the former.
Now, after the assassination incident, Wang Qianhai's physical condition is the most sensitive and highly confidential. Any words that may touch on this may attract unusual attention.
Therefore, Cheng Qianfan cautiously gave up his plan to learn about Wang's reclamation situation from Okada Toshihiko.
At present, the safest thing is for him to inquire about this matter secretly.
…
This is Helmet Lane.
It was originally the site of Jinling Middle School and is now occupied by Sumitomo Trading Company of Japan.
Okada Toshihiko got out of the car and hurried up to the second floor of the former campus office building.
This is an office with the sign of "Concubine's Room".
"Office Chief."
As soon as Okada Toshihiko sat down, a subordinate came in and handed him a document.
“Call from Shanghai?” Toshihiko Okada glanced at Nobuzawa Koizumi, and when he saw Koizumi nodding, he immediately picked up the message and read it.
The telegram was sent from Shanghai Special Higher Education School.
Just in the morning, after the Minshengqiao assassination occurred, Okada Toshihiko initially learned about the assassination and immediately focused his suspicion on Kentaro Miyazaki.
Otherwise, the Stypunk car stole the spotlight in this assassination incident.
Okada Toshihiko carefully considered and analyzed.
First of all, it can be ruled out that Kentaro Miyazaki personally participated in the assassination.
So, if Miyazaki really had a problem, what role did he play in the attack?
Information transmitter!
This is the conclusion reached by Toshihiko Okada after careful analysis.
What information is conveyed?
Considering that the biggest doubt about Kentaro Miyazaki currently is matters related to Stepunk cars.
Okada Toshihiko is inclined to suspect that if Kentaro Miyazaki really has a problem, the information he transmits to the outside world should be to report on the highly directional object of the 'Steepunk' car.
However, the question arises, how can Kentaro Miyazaki be sure that the Stypunk car will join Wang Qianhai’s fleet?
This is an unexplainable link.
For an unexplainable link, Okada Toshihiko’s usual response strategy is:
Ignore this link for the time being and continue investigating other aspects.
If other links tend to be problematic after investigation, then regardless of whether the unexplainable link forward can be explained now, he will default to the fact that it exists.
For espionage work, if the chain of evidence in other links has been confirmed to a certain extent, then an unexplained link is itself an explanation.
In this way, the next focus of the investigation is, how did Miyazaki Kentaro pass on the information?
Miyazaki Kentaro once reported to him that he was subject to phone monitoring and movement surveillance by No. 76.
This matter has been confirmed.
In this case, everyone and everything Miyazaki Kentaro comes into contact with are under surveillance.
Okada Toshihiko came to a conclusion after careful study:
Miyazaki Kentaro’s most likely opportunity to convey information to the outside world was the telegram he sent to his home in Shanghai.
In this way, Toshihiko Okada first sent people directly to the telegraph office to obtain the manuscript of the message sent by Kentaro Miyazaki to his home in Shanghai.
Subsequently, Toshihiko Okada went to Shanghai University of Electronic Technology and asked Sanbonjiro to help obtain the contents of the telegram received by the Cheng family.
He never doubted that Sanbonjiro had the ability to obtain a private message from his subordinate's home, but he didn't expect that the Shanghai Special Higher Education School would call back so quickly.
This can be called rapid.
Okada Toshihiko raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and clicked his tongue. It seemed that Mr. Sanbon was not as relieved about his subordinate as he seemed.
Experience tells Toshihiko Okada that there is only one explanation for the Shanghai Special Higher Education Department's response to the call so quickly, and that is that they have already mastered the content of the private message sent from "Tianjin" to Cheng Fu.
Okada Toshihiko put down the message in his hand.
He couldn't help but nodded.
The telegram received by Cheng Fu was no different from the manuscript of the Nanjing telegram. This telegram was also the same as the telegram that Kentaro Miyazaki had previously submitted to him for review, and there was nothing unusual about it.
Okada Toshihiko studied the message carefully again.
He focused on looking for any words in the telegram that might refer to, or allude to, 'Stepunk'.
In the end, Toshihiko Okada was convinced that in this telegram, which was more like a love letter than a safety telegram, he did not find any possible suspicious words pointing to 'Steepunk'.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
In addition to the previous conversation with Miyazaki Kentaro, all of Miyazaki Kentaro's words and gestures were not abnormal. In this way, Miyazaki Kentaro's suspicion can basically be ruled out.
Okada Toshihiko thought of the conversation he had just had with Miyazaki Kentaro. He thought for a moment and pressed the bell on his desk.
Koizumi Nobuzawa knocked on the door and came in.
"Office Chief."
"I want Wang to fill in the list of entourage." Okada Toshihiko said.
“Director, do you want the list of Wang Chuhai’s visiting Ning team, or the list of all personnel?” Koizumi Nobuze asked.
The former is the real members of Wang's team visiting Nanjing, and the latter is a list of all personnel including accompanying escorts and miscellaneous staff.
“List of all personnel.” Toshihiko Okada said in a deep voice.
Who leaked this information?
The most likely person is Wang's entourage.
“The focus is on the miscellaneous staff and the list of agents on the 76th.” Okada Toshihiko said.
Who leaked the secret?
He tends to be the security personnel of No. 76, as well as those casual workers. These people move more freely and have the greatest opportunity to contact the outside world and take the opportunity to pass on information.
…
Confucius Temple, Juxing Pavilion, Yilin Tea House.
When ‘Iron Helmet’ came to the tea house, it was the time when tea drinkers were busy.
‘Going to Confucius Temple to have tea’ is one of the joys of life for Nanjing people.
If you are invited by a friend to have tea at Confucius Temple, this is a very honorable thing.
Tiejei was invited to drink tea from the Confucius Temple.
At this time of year, people who can come to the tea house to drink tea are either those who have free time, or those who want to discuss business and make friends.
Sitting on a bench, drinking hot tea, eating snacks, chatting, bragging randomly, or chatting about old things. Just talking and laughing, it seems that the misery of this subjugated slave has been temporarily forgotten.
Those who have a lot of money will go to the private seats on the second floor.
The tea house leans against the Qinhuai River. It is quite pleasant to sit in the elegant room by the window on the second floor and drink tea while watching the boats coming and going in the Qinhuai River.
‘Iron Helmet’ didn’t have much money, but he was a frequent visitor to the private room on the second floor.
No one else, he is the inquirer in this area, and also acts as a go-between and matchmaker.
He walked into the private room No. 3 on the second floor and saw Brother Yuan holding a copper pot with a long mouth in his hand, brewing tea leisurely.
On the long table are several small bamboo cylinders containing tea leaves, as well as some preserved melon seeds and peanuts.
“Boss Yuan, Tie Helmet is late, and we were delayed on the way.” Tie Helmet said.
“Brother Iron Helmet is here.” Yuan Ziren raised his eyes and nodded, “Sit down.”
Tiejui closed the door, sat down, picked up the teacup, and took a sip without feeling his mouth burn at all.
The two of them were drinking tea, eating preserved fruits and melon seeds, and chatting casually.
The topic is about the gunshots that occurred at Minsheng Bridge this morning.
“The police station said it was a gangster who kidnapped people.” Tiegui spat out the melon seed peel and said, “It doesn’t look like it. Which gangster risked his life and came to Nanjing to kidnap someone?”
As he spoke, he made a gesture of firing a rifle and said in a low voice, "The Japanese are nothing, but the Japanese soldiers' marksmanship is amazing."
“I just hope that this incident will not hinder business.” Yuan Ziren shook his head and said in a lower voice, “Brother Iron Helmet, is there any way to do this?”
The voices of both of them were lowered, as if they were discussing business and personal matters.
“How are the brothers?” Yuan Ziren asked.
“They’re all gone.” Tiejei said with a painful expression, “Except for one person who jumped into the river and ran away, everyone else is dead.”
"They're all...dead." Yuan Ziren's expression was painful. He rubbed his cheeks with both hands, and then asked expectantly, "Who is the one who jumped into the river? Is it Brother Six?"
"Maybe." Tiejie thought for a while and said, "I just heard that this man was shot when he jumped into the river..."
His voice lowered, as if he didn't want to continue talking.
"Look." Yuan Ziren gritted his teeth and said, "Tell the brothers to look for him. We must find Brother Six."
He looked at Tiejie and said, "You must ask Brother Six in person what is going on!"
"No." Tiejei shook his head, "The Japanese and the appeasement army were searching the streets like crazy, arresting people everywhere."
He said to Yuan Ziren, "Team leader, if you go out on the streets at this time, any strangers in the nearby streets will definitely be arrested and interrogated."
Yuan Ziren frowned and finally sighed, "Then I can only trouble my brother to find out the news."
He stood up, picked up the copper pot and poured tea into Iron Helmet's cup, "Be sure to be more careful."
“Understood.” Tiejie nodded.
To avoid arousing suspicion, he did not leave immediately. He had tea, talked and laughed for about half an hour before saying goodbye and leaving.
…
After Tiejui left, Yuan Ziren ate preserved fruit leisurely and sipped tea from time to time, which felt very comfortable.
About a quarter of an hour later, someone opened the door to the private room.
Yuan Ziren was happily throwing a candied fruit into his mouth. When he saw someone coming in, he immediately stood up and bowed respectfully, "Mr. Mei."
“Sit down, don’t be restrained.” The man smiled gently and gestured for Yuan Ziren to sit down.
"Yes." Yuan Ziren sat down carefully, with an upright posture, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
He was very cautious about this "Mr. Wei" and did not dare to do anything that would offend the other party.
All this is because he has offended this person unintentionally.
Speaking of it, the reason is actually quite strange.
Because the real surname of "Mr. Ma" is "My grandson", and the full name in Japanese is "My grandson Shinta".
Yuan Ziren heard this name for the first time at that time, and was shocked that Japanese people had a surname like "my grandson". He once joked, "This surname is so good, I never thought I could be the grandfather of a Japanese person."
Turning around, someone reported the matter to "my grandson Shen Tai".
When my grandson Shen Tai learned about this, he was not angry. He was very reasonable. He even went to Yuan Ziren and explained to him the origin of his surname very calmly and politely.
According to the explanation of my grandson Shinta, my grandson’s surname is pronounced as あびこ, and there are many theories about its origin.
First, in the "Kojiki", there is a place name "Abigu" with the same pronunciation as "my grandson". Historical changes have led to people gradually writing it uniformly as "my grandson".
Second, there was a group of foreign residents from India in ancient times. They were called "Abina Gugu" in the local dialect, which means "God of Fire".
These people lived near Chiba. To express their memory of their ancestors, later generations called the place "Abina Gugu", which later evolved into "my grandson".
My grandson Shinta said that he is inclined to the first statement, because how can the proud people of the Yamato nation be the descendants of despicable Indians?
Yuan Ziren was hung up and whipped with a whip dipped in salt water. At that time, he burst into tears and expressed his agreement with my grandson Shentai's statement, and shouted "Long live Abigu".
Because of these things, Yuan Ziren did not dare to be careless when facing Mr. Mei.
He speculated maliciously that perhaps because his surname was often ridiculed and discriminated against, 'my grandson' became sensitive and irritable, and was simply a psycho. Neurotics should be taken good care of, and Japanese **** masters should take good care of them.
“Why were your people not involved in the Minsheng Bridge assassination of Wang Qianhai? Why didn’t any news come out in advance?” ‘Mr. Ma’’s tone was indifferent, but it sounded strangely cold to Yuan Ziren’s ears.
…
“Is there any movement?” Ding Mutun asked Tong Xueyong on the other end of the phone.
“Reporting to the director, no.” Tong Xueyong said.
Ding Mutun frowned. It didn't make sense. If Cheng Qianfan really had a problem, he must be anxious to inquire about Mr. Wang's physical condition. Why didn't he do anything?
“Monitor closely.” Dingmutun said.
He put down the phone and called his subordinates to come in, "Er Chun, where is Cheng Qianfan now?"
“Today we are in charge of the second hospital.” Erchun replied.
Dingmutun was slightly stunned, then slapped his forehead. He knew what the problem was.
At this moment, Dingmutun, who was always proud of his intelligence, even felt ashamed to see others.
