Chapter 520: Speculations on Subtle Points
Cheng Qianfan pressed his peaked cap and entered through the side door.
He then heard the noisy footsteps in the yard in front.
There is also the sound of a car engine starting.
The number of people is between twenty and thirty.
are two cars.
There is also the sound of jingling bells. This is a foreign car.
Soon, the sounds of footsteps, cars, and rickshaws faded away, and everything returned to calm.
Is this an urgent action?
His expression did not change at all, his steps did not stop, and he chatted casually with Xiaochi who came to greet him.
“The section chief is in a good mood today.” Xiaochi said.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiaochi." Cheng Qianfan smiled, and two vouchers from Jiujiu Trading were put into Xiaochi's palm without leaving a trace, and the latter stuffed them into his pocket with ease.
Mimotojiro was in a good mood—did he catch, or was about to catch, a big fish?
Which aspect is it?
Cheng Qianfan's heart sank.
…
Going up the stairs, at the door of Sanbonjiro's office, a man wearing a Japanese military uniform closed the door and came out.
“Kaga-kun.” Cheng Qianfan bowed slightly.
“Oh, it’s Miyazaki-kun.” Kaga nodded, “The section chief is inside.”
“I’d like to ask Kaga-kun to inform you.” Cheng Qianfan said with a smile without going in directly.
Araki Harima, who has been following Sanbonjiro, is not here, which makes the shadow on Cheng Qianfan's heart even heavier.
Jaga turned around and pushed the door open. He came out after a while and said, "Miyazaki-kun, the section chief invites you to come in."
“Thank you very much.” Cheng Qianfan smiled and nodded, stepped forward and whispered, “I got the best sake from Kyoto.”
“Leave a few bottles for me.” Kaga whispered.
Cheng Qianfan smiled and nodded, pushed the door open and went in.
…
“Search.” Cheng Qianfan saluted respectfully.
Jiro Sanmoto is wearing a Japanese military uniform and is wiping his saber.
"Miyazaki-kun is here." Sanbonjiro raised his head, seeming to be in good spirits, and put the sword back into its sheath.
Cheng Qianfan hurriedly stepped forward, took the saber with both hands, and helped hang it on the wall with great piety.
The smell of blood.
He smelled blood.
Very faint smell of blood.
Sanbonjiro should have gone to the torture room today.
Most likely I did not interrogate the prisoner myself, so the smell of blood was there, but the smell was very light.
This immediately put him in contact with the special agents of the Special High School Division who had just been dispatched.
Caught someone?
interrogated.
Recruited?
Expand arrests!
A relatively clear and complete chain of speculation has emerged in his mind.
…
"You mean, you shot and wounded Wang Kangnian and killed Ding Naifei in order to scare the monkeys and avoid being followed again?" Sanbonjiro said after listening to Cheng Qianfan's statement, taking a sip of tea.
“Yes, Section Chief, my subordinate’s identity is relatively secretive, so it’s best to avoid being followed,” Cheng Qianfan said.
Cheng Qianfan's facial expression was a little stiff, and he smiled coquettishly, "Lu Dazhang asked me to discuss a business deal, uh, I was affected a little bit, of course, mainly because I don't like to be followed."
“You knew that Wang Kangnian had defected to the empire, but you still fired?” Sanbonjiro said coldly.
"He's just a Chinese man. He dared to follow me. My subordinates didn't kill him, so they were showing mercy." Cheng Qianfan raised the corner of his mouth and said with a hint of contempt.
“He is following Lu Dazhang! Wang Kangnian thinks Lu Dazhang is suspicious.”
“My subordinates are also in the car. Wang Kangnian, a Chinese fool, ruined my good deeds—” Cheng Qianfan said angrily. When he realized that he had spilled the beans, he raised his head and glanced at Sanbonjiro, then quickly lowered his head, not daring to speak any more.
“Bag duck down!” Sanbenjiro yelled angrily, “I knew you were angry and fired because your business was disrupted.”
“This is a big deal.” Cheng Qianfan muttered quietly.
Snapped!
Sanbonjiro whipped him with a big ear-scratcher.
“Hai!” Cheng Qianfan received a slap, lowered his head, bent over, and stood respectfully.
“I’ve told you before, don’t think about your business!” Sanbonjiro said with a stern face.
“Hai!”
Sanbonjiro glared at Cheng Qianfan with fierce eyes, turned around and saw half a bottle of red wine in the wine cabinet next to the desk, and finally stopped slapping him with his slap.
…
“Do you know why I hit you?” Sanbonjiro pressed his hands on the table and asked coldly.
“This subordinate knows.” Cheng Qianfan raised his head with an unconvinced expression, “This subordinate should not shoot.”
“You bastard!” Sanbonjiro was furious, “The Chinese will die when they die, idiot!”
"Report to the section chief." Cheng Qianfan thought for a moment, showed a look of surprise, and stood at attention, saluting, "Wang Kangnian is from the empire, and his subordinates shot because they wanted to show their attitude towards Japan to the senior officials of the French Concession and cooperate with the section chief's plan. .”
Sanbonjiro snorted coldly, "You are not hopelessly stupid."
Cheng Qianfan opened his mouth, but did not speak.
"explain!"
“The subordinate shot and wounded Wang Kangnian out of anger,” Cheng Qianfan said cautiously. “However, the reason why he later killed Ding Naifei was because the subordinate had an idea. He could kill a chicken to scare a monkey, and also show off to the French.”
“Why didn’t you say it just now?” Sanbonjiro asked.
“My subordinate wanted to hide his selfish motives for firing the first shot. I didn’t expect that the section chief has such a keen eye that he can’t hide anything from you.” Cheng Qianfan squeezed out an awkward and flattering smile.
Sanbonjiro snorted again, but his expression softened a lot.
"General Masao Nishida has also learned about this matter. Your Majesty the General is very satisfied with your emergency response and looks forward to the day when you will be promoted to deputy chief inspector of the Central District as soon as possible." Mimotojiro sat on the chair and said slowly .
“Your Excellency Nishida is so complimentary, Miyazaki is ashamed.” Cheng Qianfan bowed, “It was the section chief who planned the strategy and taught carefully, Miyazaki dare not take credit.”
…
“What kind of business does Lu Dazhang want to discuss with you?”
“The Taihu Water Bandits Li Laosan Branch is recruiting troops and wants to buy some guns and ammunition.”
“Bag duck falls!” Sanbonjiro’s expression changed and he cursed, “Li Laosan had a war with the imperial army, do you know?”
"I don't know." Cheng Qianfan's expression also changed and he let out a light sigh.
“Huh?” Sanbonjiro frowned and stared at Cheng Qianfan.
“Department Chief, this is a bit strange.”
"explain."
"My subordinates really don't know that Li Lao San once fought against the empire. From Lu Dazhang's words, I got some news." Cheng Qianfan thought deeply, "Li Lao San seems to be interested in defecting to the empire. His purpose of recruiting troops is , seems to be to sell themselves at a good price.”
"Is this happening?" Sanbonjiro's expression softened.
"That should be the meaning." Cheng Qianfan paused for a moment and looked at Sanbonjiro, "Section Chief, is it possible that Li Laosan was frightened by the power of the empire, so he did not dare to continue to fight against the empire, and finally made a wise decision? choose?"
"It is indeed possible." Sanbonjiro said thoughtfully.
As he said that, he looked at Kentaro Miyazaki and felt a little emotional. This guy was really lucky. He sold arms privately and was able to help the empire recruit an army.
