Chapter 733 A clever plan
When Cheng Qianfan heard this, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Hyoutaro Imamura looked at the surprised Kentaro and took two steps back and bowed deeply to him.
“Teacher Taniguchi spent half his life working hard for the great cause of the empire, but unfortunately he died in a foreign land.” Cheng Qianfan’s eyes were filled with tears.
“Taniguchi-sensei has always paid attention to appearance, etiquette, and even more importantly, face.”
“Now that the teacher is treated with such courtesy, there are like-minded people, and there are important ministers of the empire to send him, he must be very satisfied.”
Looking at Kentaro Miyazaki with tears in his eyes, Hyōtaro Imamura felt happy and satisfied. Kentaro is a very emotional person.
"Your identity is extremely hidden, so it is not convenient for you to bid farewell to Mr. Taniguchi as a disciple." Hyōtaro Imamura said thoughtfully, "After the mourning hall is set up in the future, you can express your condolences in the name of the patrol house in the central area of the French Concession."
“Yes, student understands.” Cheng Qianfan nodded and then sighed, with a look of regret in his eyes.
Hyōtaro Imamura understood his feelings and patted him on the shoulder, "Although it is not possible to say goodbye to Miyazaki-kun publicly as a student or as a disciple, but in your heart, you send me as a disciple. I believe Taniguchi-kun can understand .”
"That's all." Cheng Qianfan nodded with emotion, "I hope Teacher Taniguchi won't blame me."
…
Bai Ruolan looked at her husband.
The incident of Mr. Xiao Cheng being assassinated in front of Xianshi Department Store has already been widely circulated.
Although Cheng Qianfan had called before to tell him that he was fine, how could Bai Ruolan not be worried.
At this moment, she felt relieved when she saw Cheng Qianfan standing fully in front of her.
The pregnant wife hugged her husband.
Hug tightly.
She said nothing, yet it seemed as if she had said everything.
Cheng Qianfan wanted to ask, ‘Why haven’t you rested so late?’, but when the words came to his lips, he kissed his wife’s forehead, “I’m going to wash my face and feet. I’m a little tired today and very sleepy.”
He originally planned to think about something quietly in the study alone when he came back.
Cheng Qianfan finished washing.
At this moment, Cheng Qianfan was lying on the bed. He glanced at the sleeping Ruolan, who had a feeling of relief in her eyes. His whole body and mind also rarely relaxed. At this moment, he finally let go of him temporarily. Carrying so many heavy responsibilities, tasks and pressure, it felt like there were only him and Ruolan in the world.
…
Xiao Cheng from the patrol house in the central area of the French Concession was assassinated by Fang Hui, a subordinate of Xia Wenqiao from the Youth Gang. Xiao Cheng was lucky when Fang Hui's pistol jammed.
Although Mr. Cheng’s fortune is great, it doesn’t mean that the matter is over.
Xiao Cheng has always been the mastermind of the French Concession.
Xia Wenqiao Xia Sange is a rising star of the Qinggang. He is the talker of Du Yongsheng and Boss Du's black market transactions in the French Concession.
If a direct conflict breaks out between these two people, the impact will be huge!
The entire concession, and even half of Shanghai, are paying attention to this matter. Even the **** and **** on the street have become much more at ease, and even the Sanguang coders who wander around and defraud are also honest. Really, I'm afraid that if the city gate catches fire, it will affect the fish in the pond.
Soon news came out that a warehouse of 'Brother Xia' on Bai Saizhong Road was confiscated by Mr. Xiao Cheng's men. Several other warehouses of 'Brother Xia' were also confiscated by people from the patrol room and Mr. Xiao Cheng's men. Monitor.
Just when everyone thought that the war was about to break out, news came that Mr. Xiao Cheng and Xia Sange shook hands and made peace, saying that the assassination was Fang Hui's personal act and was not ordered by Xia Sange. The two sides were still good friends. .
However, in any case, Fang Hui was Xia Wenqiao's employee. In order to express his apology for this matter, Xia Wenqiao directly offered half of the cargo in the cargo hold on Bai Sai Zhong Road as an apology.
Xiao Cheng finally got an apology and accepted Xia Wenqiao's personal apology. He was very reasonable and said that the matter was over now. He and Xia Sange were good friends, and good friends would not be affected by the instigation of traitors.
This statement seems to mean something.
Soon, there were rumors in the Jianghu that Fang Hui’s assassination of Mr. Xiao Cheng was actually ordered by Zhang Xiaolin. This boss Zhang deliberately bribed Fang Hui and formulated this poisonous plan to kill two birds with one stone:
Instructed Xia Wenqiao's men to assassinate Mr. Cheng, and the assassination was successful. Boss Zhang got rid of Mr. Cheng, whom he hated so much, and the patrol office would not spare Xia Wenqiao, the senior police officer of the French Concession patrol office, lightly.
If the assassination fails, Mr. Xiao Cheng will inevitably fight against Xia Wenqiao, while Boss Zhang will reap the benefits.
Once this rumor spread, it spread to everyone, and most importantly, many people believed it.
reason?
Xiao Cheng has always cherished his life very much, so even though he was extremely greedy for money, he would not let go of Xia Wenqiao who attacked him just for the sake of half a warehouse of goods. There must be an unknown inside story to this matter. Of course, everyone is now Everyone knows the behind-the-scenes story.
…
“Asshole, have you found out what’s going on?” Zhang Xiaolin gasped angrily. There was a broken teapot at his feet.
“Boss, it’s difficult to check.” Zhan Si shook his head, “In almost one day, this matter spread even to the aunt who emptied the toilet.”
“Who have you mentioned this to?” Zhang Xiaolin frowned and asked.
If Fang Hui kills Cheng Qianfan, or if Cheng Qianfan's people and Xia Wenqiao's people fight fiercely, he will naturally not mind letting his "Zhuge's clever plan" spread to build momentum and dominate the world.
However, this matter fell short...
“Boss, you know that I, Si, am very strict with my mouth. Except for a few words when I’m drinking with my brothers, I never talk nonsense.”
Zhang Xiaolin slapped his forehead and glared at Zhan Si fiercely.
…
“It seems that Zhang Xiaolin hates you very much.” Song Fuguo took a sip of tea and said.
"This person is extremely greedy. In fact, he is eyeing my business on the black market and the lines of communication that I have established through the French, British, Americans and even the Japanese." Cheng Qianfan said. I had a piece of pork head meat, the bones were crunchy and crunchy.
“In addition, I always responded forcefully to his repeated provocations, and this created a deadly feud.” He continued.
Song Fuguo had been in charge of the intelligence work of the Shanghai Station of the Secret Service for a long time. He was well aware of the dangers of Zhang Xiaolin's betrayal of Japan.
This person has great energy in Shanghai. When this energy is transformed into the traitor force, it shows great destructive power.
Zhang Xiaolin's "New Asia Peace Promotion Association" plundered supplies, harmed the countryside, and supplied the Japanese army. It can be said that its crimes are countless.
In addition, Mr. Zhang has many disciples and grandsons, especially those who penetrate deeply into the concession, which poses a great threat to the activities and lurking of the military commander in the concession. On a more serious scale, this person poses a great threat to the overall anti-Japanese situation in Shanghai.
"I am not suitable to take action." Cheng Qianfan understood what Song Fuguo meant, and he shook his head, "I can kill Zhang Xiaolin's men, and even kill Zhang Xiaolin's concubines, relatives and friends, but I cannot directly attack Zhang Xiaolin."
He said to Song Fuguo, "Not only can the forces on the surface not directly attack Zhang Xiaolin, but in the short term, it is also best for our department not to get involved."
"Okay." Song Fuguo thought for a moment and said, "I will call Chongqing and ask the bureau chief to urge the Shanghai Station to take action against Zhang Xiaolin."
The two people immediately entered into the most important issue.
“Is there any news about Mei Shenping and Gao Qingwu?” Song Fuguo asked.
“Not yet.” Cheng Qianfan frowned and said frankly, “If these two people appear on the market, we will naturally be able to catch their traces.”
"The most rare thing is that if these two people live in the residence prepared for them by Japan and guard it closely to prevent prying eyes, it will be very difficult." Cheng Qianfan took a sip of wine and said.
Song Fuguo clinked glasses with him with tea instead of wine and nodded, "Yes, your worry is justified, and this possibility is extremely high."
"Unless, unless Mei and Gao have a reason to appear in public, then we can..." Cheng Qianfan said, and as he spoke, his eyes began to light up.
…
"What? Is there a way?" Song Fuguo noticed the change in Cheng Qianfan's expression and asked eagerly.
“I received news that the Japanese Consulate General is setting up a mourning hall.” Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully.
Song Fuguo was also impressed. He was able to help the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai arrange the mourning hall. The identity of the deceased must be unusual.
“Do you know the identity of the deceased?” Song Fuguo asked.
“I don’t know yet.” Cheng Qianfan shook his head, “However, a gunshot was fired at the Sakura Valley Guest House of the Japanese Consulate General yesterday, and someone saw the injured being carried out. It may have something to do with this incident.”
"Don't worry about who died. The more Japanese people die, the higher the level, the better." Song Fuguo waved his right hand and said, he smiled at Cheng Qianfan, "Your idea is very good."
Cheng Qianfan smiled and said, "The Japanese Consulate General has set up a mourning hall for a certain 'big man'. So, judging from your understanding of the two of them, old sir, if Mei and Gao are in Shanghai and are in secret contact with Japan, Will they go to the mourning hall to express their condolences?”
"With the temperament of Vice President Wang's men..." Song Fuguo thought, he chuckled, "It may not be possible to express condolences in public, but it is not impossible to express condolences in private."
Cheng Qianfan pondered for a moment and said, "I have some friendship and contacts with Hyōtaro Imamura, the counselor of the Consulate General. With my status, I am barely qualified to go to the mourning hall to express my condolences."
He raised a smile on his lips and said to Song Fuguo, "The Japanese have died of a big shot. As a friend, I called Imamura to express my concern, inquire about the identity of the deceased, and then go to the mourning hall to express my condolences in person. This is a matter of taking a boat with the current. .”
Song Fuguo laughed loudly. Cheng Qianfan was a well-rounded man who was always good at solving problems. This guy won the trust of the French. He also had some contacts with the British and Americans, and he always showed his pro-Japanese attitude.
Looking at the entire French Concession, and even the entire Shanghai Bund, Xiao Cheng is always the only one who can deal with the great powers at the age of more than 20 years old, and all parties still give him some respect.
"This is a great plan." Song Fuguo nodded happily, "All we can do now is hope that Mei and Gao can act as we expected."
…
Hongkou District, special higher education course.
"Section Chief, we found it." Araki Harima returned from the Sakura Guesthouse and reported to Sanbonjiro in a dusty state.
"explain."
“Miyazaki-kun’s observations are very subtle, and Yami Shoji really had something to hide.” Araki Harima said, “Yami Shoji once left the guest house privately and went out for a period of time.”
“How long, please be specific.” Sanbonjiro said in a deep voice.
The telegram from Yamada Otsuzo made him feel the pressure.
In addition, Sanbonjiro secretly called one of his seniors in the Kwantung Army yesterday and learned a secret message from the other party:
General Hata Shunroku, the commander of the Imperial Central China Expedition Force, may be transferred back to the country, and the person who will replace His Excellency Hata Shunroku as the commander of the Central China Expedition Force is General Yamada Otsuzo, the commander of the Imperial Army's Third Army.
“About twenty minutes,” Araki Harima said. “When Yamoku Shoji went out, he deliberately avoided the sentries and was very cautious. No one knew where he went.”
“What was the explanation?” Sanbonjiro asked in a deep voice.
Although Yamame Shoji was an imperial citizen and was also Taniguchi Hiroyuki’s student and assistant, since Yamame Shoji had something to hide, Araki Harima, who was responsible for investigating the case, had reasons to torture Yamame Shoji.
Furthermore, he didn’t think that Yamame Shoji could withstand Araki Harima’s interrogation without opening his mouth.
“I didn’t say anything,” Araki Harima said. “Although he was tortured, Yamame Shoji didn’t explain anything.”
Although Yamame Shoji did not confess anything, Araki Harima did not seem to be annoyed. When he spoke, his face even looked happy.
Sanbonjiro also looked happy.
In the Special High School, there is a principle, or it can be said to be a rule, in torture and interrogation that is recognized by most torturers:
Speaking too quickly may not necessarily be a problem; at the same time, being tortured but not speaking must be a problem.
Of course, the former law seems to have lost its value due to the jaw-dropping performance of some Chinese agents, especially the behavior of some people in Chongqing, such as Wu Shanyue and Wang Kangnian when they faced severe torture.
Even Araki Harima, who had previously chosen not to believe Cao Yu because he surrendered and spoke too quickly, and continued to torture him repeatedly, is now somewhat used to, or not surprised by, the quick surrender of some people in Chongqing.
“Continue to interrogate Yamame Shoji.” Sanbonjiro said in an excited tone, “This person has a problem and is very likely to be a breakthrough in the case.”
“Hai!” Araki Harima said, standing at attention.
He thought for a while and finally asked, "Section Chief, have you heard about the rumors that Zhang Xiaolin secretly recruited Fang Hui and arranged for him to assassinate Miyazaki-kun?"
