Chapter 764 Kentaro’s Eye Skills
Seeing Miyazaki Kentaro's thoughtful expression, Imamura Hyoutarou knew that with his intelligence as a student, he should have some understanding now.
He thought for a moment and decided not to hide anything anymore, and simply informed him that the military was investigating the leak of intelligence about this military raid.
"What are those people in the military doing? They actually doubt me? Even if they doubt me, they still doubt Sakamoto-kun?!" Cheng Qianfan was surprised at first, then angry and puzzled after hearing what Hyoutarou Imamura said. Still a bit dumbfounded.
Hyoutaro Imamura understood the change in his student’s expression just now:
Surprised because Kentaro was shocked to hear that military intelligence was leaked, or more precisely, that the military suspected him.
Angry and puzzled because he was suspected and investigated.
Hands of laughter or tears, more precisely, feeling helpless after getting angry.
…
"If military intelligence is leaked, the military must investigate and give an explanation." Imamura Hyōtaro shook his head, but did not slander or blame the military in front of the students. "Anyone who may have come into contact with or heard about the military plan Everyone will be included in the investigation."
With that said, he patted Kentaro Miyazaki on the shoulder, "Not only you and Ryono, but also many people are under investigation. I believe you are innocent, don't take this matter to heart."
"Kentaro understands." Cheng Qianfan nodded and said with a sincere face, "Kentaro is loyal to the teacher, to the empire, and to His Majesty the Emperor. True gold is not afraid of fire. It is only Kentaro's fault that the teacher was upset about me because of this misunderstanding. ”
"You are my good student. I know you well. Naturally I will not stand by and watch you being doubted and misunderstood." Imamura Hyoutarou looked at Miyazaki Kentaro who was adding hot water to the tea cup and said, "You are a professional agent. Based on your professional thinking and perspective, what is the most likely problem with this military intelligence leak?"
Cheng Qianfan did not answer the question immediately. He put the thermos bottle away, frowned and thought for a moment, then showed an embarrassed look and said with a wry smile, "Teacher, I had to accompany Hao Atsushi that day, so I drank a lot of wine, so I didn't pay attention to Ota. According to what you said, when did the Locust Army start its mopping up operations, and why did they determine that the military plan was leaked?"
“After the locust army began its sweep, we found that the Chinese army and the Red Party guerrillas had begun to evacuate in advance, especially the Loyalty and Salvation Army, who had already jumped out of the encirclement.” Imamura Hyoutaro said.
“In addition, the army captured a group of prisoners, and it was confirmed from the prisoners’ mouths that they had received information in advance about the Locust Army’s planned raids.”
…
“Teacher, are they prisoners of the Loyalty Salvation Army or the Red Party guerrillas?” Cheng Qianfan thought for a while and asked.
"I don't know this clearly." Imamura Hyōtaro shook his head. Naturally, the letter sent by the military could not explain it so clearly.
In addition, he was not particularly emotional about the military affairs, just because the military actually suspected Miyazaki Kentaro and Sakamoto Yoshino, which made Imamura Hyoutaro quite dissatisfied.
As for asking Kentaro Miyazaki for his opinion on the leak, he just suddenly became interested and asked the question.
This interest is not so much that he cares about leak cases, but that he wants to examine Kentaro Miyazaki's professional standards.
“Through the prisoners’ confessions, especially some of the details, we can find some clues, which is especially important for further confirming the time when the other party received the intelligence.” Cheng Qianfan said.
"In addition, if the captive is a soldier of the Loyalty and Salvation Army, then the most likely source of the other party's intelligence is someone from the Shanghai Station of the Chongqing Military Command Bureau." He paced and continued, "If it is someone from the Red Party guerrillas, it means that The source of the intelligence was the Red Party.”
“The military control of Shanghai Station is the most likely,” Cheng Qianfan replied without hesitation.
“Tell me the reason.” Imamura Hyoutaro threw a cigarette to Miyazaki Kentaro.
…
Cheng Qianfan took the cigarette, and then took advantage of the situation and directly 'snatched' Imamura Hyoutarou's cigarette case, "Butler Kogoro said, teacher, your throat is not feeling well. Please leave the cigarettes to the students for safekeeping temporarily."
Hyoutaro Imamura raised his finger and pointed at Kentaro Miyazaki, then smiled and shook his head.
"Reason." Cheng Qianfan was about to smoke, then glanced at Hyoutarou Imamura, then put the cigarette into the cigarette case and put the cigarette case into his pocket.
Hyoutaro Imamura smiled. Kentaro was addicted to cigarettes, but did not smoke. This was because he had a discomfort in his throat.
"The reason is very straightforward." Cheng Qianfan thought, "The Red Party has been hunted by the government for a long time, and has been troubled by problems such as funds and equipment. They should be said to be relatively weak at the moment."
“This is not the case in Chongqing. Although they fled from Shanghai, they left behind a considerable number of agents. These people are familiar with the environment in Shanghai, and many of them have even been rooted in various industries for a long time.”
"Even within the police station, detective brigade, anti-smuggling bureau, marine police force, and even the pacification army of the Shanghai Special Municipal Government, there may be people who have been left behind by Chongqing, or people who have recently been instigated by Chongqing to rebel." Cheng Qianfan said with a solemn expression, "So, the students believe that in terms of the source and convenience of obtaining intelligence, Chongqing is more likely."
"Kentaro, your analysis makes sense." Hyōtaro Imamura looked at Kentaro Miyazaki with admiration and satisfaction in his eyes. He just wanted to test Kentaro out of fun, and the answer sheet handed over by this student obviously made him very satisfied. Satisfied, he still has a relatively in-depth analysis and understanding of the characteristics of the two forces and people in Chongqing and the Red Party.
In other words, Hyoutaro Imamura's performance towards his students can be described as a surprise.
If Kentaro could be less obsessed with making money and focus more on work, his achievements and progress would definitely be greater.
However, no matter what, Kentaro Miyazaki is not bad at all. He is better than being loyal to himself.
…
Cheng Qianfan saw that it was getting late, so he said goodbye to Hyōtaro Imamura and left.
“Let’s go, I’ll see you off.”
“How dare you ask the teacher to send it off in person?” Cheng Qianfan said quickly.
“I feel a little tired after sitting in a chair for a long time, so I might as well go for a walk.”
“Teacher, you have worked too hard for the empire, so you should pay more attention to your health.”
“You have a lot of business dealings with the French, British, and Americans?” Imamura Hyōtaro walked to the stairs, stopped, and asked abruptly.
Cheng Qianfan followed Hyoutarou Imamura, and when he heard the 'teacher's' sudden question, he couldn't help showing surprise on his face.
