Chapter 831 is full of the word ‘fear of death’
Cheng Qianfan did not directly answer Li Hao’s question.
Haozi didn't pay much attention to anything. He just asked if he had doubts in his heart. If Brother Fan thought he could answer, he would tell him. It was normal not to answer.
The car has stopped at the door of Cheng's house. In the past, Li Hao would have chosen to honk the horn. However, after having Sesame at home, Hao Zi subconsciously paid attention not to disturb his little nephew's sleep easily.
He flashed the light twice in succession.
Immediately, vigilant guards with guns and ammunition came out to check. After seeing the car clearly, they opened the door.
"Haozi, what is the most terrifying thing for a person who cherishes his life?" Cheng Qianfan suddenly asked Li Hao before getting out of the car.
“My life is in danger.” Haozi thought for a while and said.
“That’s right.” Cheng Qianfan smiled and patted Haozi on the shoulder, “But, to be more precise, it’s the unknown danger.”
Haozi watched Brother Fan get out of the car and heard Brother Fan ordering the guards at home to be more vigilant. The searchlight at the entrance of the courtyard also turned on, illuminating the situation outside the door. A light machine gun was also set up, and there were bodyguards near the door. After a search to make sure there was nothing suspicious, the door was closed tightly.
He seemed to understand a little bit what Brother Fan meant.
Xiaobao held the cat and came out to welcome his brother back. Seeing Li Hao, Xiaobao happily grabbed the cat's paw and greeted brother Haozi.
Li Hao's face immediately burst into a bright smile. He got out of the car with the pastries, raised the pastry box high, and said like a treasure, "Xiaobao, look!"
Then the little girl cheered in surprise.
Even the cat’s meow seems to be a little more joyful.
…
Sanbonjiro and Bei Dao met each other and commented on Wang Chuhai.
“He is a politician with a weak character and hesitation.” Sanbonjiro expressed his comments on Wang Reclamation.
“This is a very contradictory person.” Bei Dao nodded.
The two of them laughed loudly.
Being able to comment arbitrarily on the number two figure in the Chinese government, the leader of the puppet government that the empire is about to support, is a topic that makes people happy both physically and mentally.
In fact, Japan has been focusing on research on Wang Reclamation.
Wang Chenghai, who was about to cooperate with the "Empire of Japan", made a shocking decision at the age of twenty-seven - to assassinate the supreme ruler of the Qing Empire, Prince Regent Zaifeng.
It is said that this person had previously targeted Duanfang, but later felt that assassinating the regent would be a greater blow to the empire.
After the assassination failed, Wang Chuanhai and others were taken into custody by the Qing government in Beisuo.
Beisuo was the place where political prisoners were detained by the Qing government. They were given relatively preferential treatment in terms of food and drink.
It is said that five of the six men tossed and turned at night, and only Wang Chuanhai was drunk and snoring, as if nothing happened. Even the jailer secretly admired him and said he was a good man.
What ultimately made this man famous was Wang Chuanhai’s desperate poem in prison.
On September 16, 1911, Wang Kehai was finally released after a year and a half in prison.
The day Wang Chuhai walked out of prison, passers-by rushed to see him and the roads were blocked.
At 5 pm on the second day after Wang Chuanhai was released from prison, Yuan Beiyang, as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, met with Wang Chuanhai at the Prime Minister's Office.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Yuan Beiyang hosted a banquet in honor of Wang Kehai.
During the banquet, Wang Chuanhai and Mr. Yuan became brothers with different surnames.
As a result, Wang Reclamation has become a bridge between the north and the south.
Whether it is Beiyang or the revolutionary party in the south, if they want to exchange what they have, they have to go through Wang Reclamation.
The most surprising thing is that at that time, Wang Chuhai unabashedly praised Yuan Beiyang, saying: "Xiangcheng has great ambitions in the world, and everything is in its place. The head of state has no one to take charge of."
He even took the lead in shouting the slogan "It must be Yuan".
In Wang Chuanhai's eyes at this time, Yuan Shikai was the best candidate to resolve the confrontation between the north and the south.
So much so that the "Min Li Bao" run by the revolutionary party criticized him: Even if Wang Kehai has been advocating revolution for many years, he is a learned member of the party... but he feels the favor of the imperial court for not killing him and speaks for him. ?
Although Wang Chuhai received much attention since then and became an important member of the Kuomintang Party, his political status within the Kuomintang was even higher than that of Chang Kaishen.
However, the meticulous Japanese people have discovered the clues long ago.
The Japanese focused on studying Wang Chuanhai’s behavioral changes during this period, and were once puzzled by his huge personality changes in a short period of time.
From dying generously to looking forward and backward, Wang Chuanhai was a completely different person before and after he was released from prison. As if overnight, Wang Qianhai seemed to have changed into a different person.
Bei Dao is an expert in Japan’s study of Wang’s reclamation, which is also an important reason why he was able to participate in the connection between the empire and the Wang family.
Bei Dao has his own opinion on this change in Wang Reclamation—
Wang Kehai quickly completed the transformation from a revolutionary youth to a politician.
"However, this person lacks an important quality as a good politician." Bei Dao chuckled, "Strong will."
He clinked glasses with Sanbonjiro, "This is exactly why the empire chose this person."
“In Chinese terms, this is called dying to save face and suffering while living.” Sanbonjiro said teasingly.
…
Wang Chuhai refused to take the Beiguang Maru to save his face. Finally, he boarded a small freighter at sea and was so frightened that he asked the Japanese for help. He climbed aboard the Beiguang Maru in embarrassment.
This matter has become a laughing stock among senior Japanese officials and insiders. In other words, this is one of the reasons why middle-level Japanese officials like Jiro Sanmoto despise the No. 2 leader of the government so much.
Some people even use humiliating words like "self-deceiving and cowardly Wang" to describe Wang Chuhai.
Timid?
Afraid of death?
kindness? !
Sanbonjiro's heart moved, and he seemed to have thought of something.
"Is there something wrong, Mr. Sanben?" Bei Dao couldn't help but ask when he saw this.
“I did think of something quite important just now.” Sanbonjiro stood up and said, “I’ll excuse you for a moment.”
Sanbonjiro returned to his office. He picked up the confession of "Qiao Zui" and looked at the wax-coated paper of Kentaro Miyazaki. Then he suddenly discovered that all the words on this paper were gathered into In one sentence:
Afraid of death!
It can be said that the word "fear of death" is used throughout the article!
He finally understood.
Miyazaki, a guy who is afraid of death, said he was not suitable for attending the extra-high school, but in fact he was frightened by yesterday's assassination.
In other words, Miyazaki Kentaro suspected that the assassination was not carried out by the Central Government, and this speculation also showed that the assassination was confusing.
For Kentaro Miyazaki, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, this unknown danger is obviously what scares him the most.
Furthermore, for Kentaro Miyazaki, where does he think is the safest place?
One is the French Concession, to be precise, the central area of the French Concession, which is the territory of "Mr. Xiao Cheng".
One is the Extra High School, which refers to the location of the Extra High School, not the way to the Extra High School from the French Concession.
From Sanbonjiro’s professional perspective, there were at least two to three ambush points for him to choose from along the way from the central area of the French Concession to Hongkou District.
This kind of windy and rainy night is a natural cover for an ambush and assassination.
“Bag duck!” Sanbonjiro cursed angrily. He had been thinking hard before, guessing the reason why the guy from Miyazaki said he was not suitable for the extra-high school course. He never thought that the real reason was that this guy was greedy for life and afraid of death!
Sanbonjiro thought for a moment, then picked up the phone and said, "Xiaoike, come here."
Soon, Xiaochi knocked on the door.
“Go and check, when did Miyazaki come home today? Did he do anything unusual?” Sanbonjiro said in a deep voice.
“Chief, do you suspect that Miyazaki-kun has a problem?” Koike asked in surprise.
Jiro Sanmoto did not answer the subordinate's question, but asked, "What was Miyazaki's expression and tone when he said that today was not a good time to come to the special high school class? Or was there any special situation at that time?"
"It's too dark and I can't see the expression clearly." Xiaochi thought for a while and said, "The tone... I didn't hear anything strange."
Then he thought of something, "Miyazaki-kun's men are facing a powerful enemy, and there is even a light machine gun on the passenger seat."
Sanbonjiro waved his hand and motioned for Koike to do something, while he himself snorted with lingering anger.
This stupid guy is timid and afraid of death, but he doesn’t dare to say it directly!
…
The next morning, Koike reported to Sanbonjiro about the ‘investigation status’ of Kentaro Miyazaki after yesterday’s meeting.
After estimating the time and distance, Xiaochi judged that 'Cheng Qianfan' would return directly to Cheng's Mansion after meeting him.
“The searchlights of the Cheng Mansion were turned on, and a bodyguard came out in the rain to conduct a careful inspection near the door of the house.”
“Late at night, some people still heard the sound of guards patrolling inside the Cheng Mansion.”
“The wolf dog in Cheng Mansion barked several times at night.”
“Cowardly fellow.” Sanbonjiro cursed.
He was now extremely certain.
At this moment, the phone on the desk rang. Sanbonjiro picked up the phone and frowned when he heard the report on the other end of the phone.
The call was from Hiroyuki Kikube.
Hiroyuki Kikube requested people from the French Concession and asked the French Concession to hand over the "Japanese haters from Chongqing", "First Officer" and "Qiuzi" to the Shanghai Special Higher Education Course. However, this matter ran into trouble.
The trouble does not come from the French Concession.
The French Concession did not directly respond to whether it agreed to the ‘extradition’ request from the Super High School. Instead, it informed Kikube Hiroo:
The Shanghai Municipal Government has also submitted a request to the French Concession for the extradition of the two suspects.
Hiroyuki Kikube was very surprised. He did not expect that the Shanghai Municipal Government would also submit a request to the patrol room for the extradition of "Chief Mate and Qiao Zui".
Then, Kikube Hiroo was furious. The Shanghai Municipal Government was a puppet government supported by the empire, and it dared to compete with the Special Higher Education School for people!
Is this a rebellion?
Hiroyuki Kikube called over the official sent by Su Wenxi, the Secretary-General of the Shanghai Municipal Government, and they were just a few big ears.
Hunting away the people from the Shanghai Municipal Government, Kikube Hiroyuki arrogantly reached out to the French Concession to ask for people.
The French Concession Patrol Office Liaison Office had no choice but to ask for instructions from the top.
Hiroyuki Kikube is not worried about this. He believes that Kentaro Miyazaki will handle these procedural matters secretly.
However, before he came to the police station to hand over the prisoner, he saw the people from the Military Police Headquarters.
The phone call Kikube Hiroo made to Sanbonjiro was to report this unexpected situation:
The Shanghai Municipal Government asked the patrol room for "chief mate" and "qiaozui", which was actually under the instructions of the military police headquarters.
Major Sagami Umezu from the Military Police Headquarters personally came to "rob people."
When Sanbonjiro learned of this situation, he was very surprised and puzzled.
The Gendarmerie Command intervened in this matter and snatched the ‘first mate’ and ‘cocky lips’. There are two puzzling aspects in this matter:
First of all, how did the Gendarmerie Headquarters learn of the existence of the ‘First Officer’ and ‘Tiaozui’?
Secondly, why did the Gendarmerie Command intervene in this matter?
The first question, Mimotojiro's first thought was that the commander of the military police, General Junzaburo Ikeuchi, knew about the assassination of Kentaro Miyazaki. Could it be because Commander Ikeuchi continued to pay attention to the matter and then learned that the patrol room had arrested "Qiuzi" And then he confessed to the 'first mate'?
Sanbonjiro shook his head.
Neither "Kentaro Miyazaki" nor the Cheng Qianfan he pretended to be was enough to attract this kind of attention from Junzaburo Ikeuchi.
unless-
Unless there is something about Kentaro Miyazaki that is enough to attract the attention of the Imperial Military Police Commander!
Second question, if there is something about Miyazaki that is enough to attract the attention of Commander Ikeuchi, then it is understandable that the Military Police Command would intervene in the matter.
Sanbonjiro frowned.
This incident was originally just a "little incident" when "Cheng Qianfan" was assassinated, but now it seems that there is another hidden story.
The Military Police Headquarters discovered that there is something wrong with Kentaro Miyazaki?
Soon, he made a decision immediately:
In this case, the Military Police Headquarters cannot be allowed to succeed.
“We must not let the ‘Tikki’ and the ‘First Officer’ fall into the hands of the Military Police Headquarters!” Sanbonjiro ordered to Kikube Hiroo.
No matter what the purpose of the Gendarmerie Command is, the Gendarmerie Command cannot be allowed to take away the "Tilty Mouth" and the "First Officer".
Miyazaki Kentaro is a member of the Super High School. Not to mention whether there is something wrong with Miyazaki himself, the initiative in this matter must be in the hands of the Super High School.
‘Next time we meet, Mr. Sanben must talk to me about this matter. ’
Thinking of Ikeuchi Junzaburo's words at that time and Ikeuchi Junzaburo's smile, Sanbonjiro's face darkened.
Does Chiuchi’s words mean something?
Are you going for Kentaro Miyazaki?
Or, are you here for him, Sanbonjiro?
Junzaburo Ikeuchi is a notoriously greedy guy!
…
No. 22, Xue Huali Road.
Central District Patrol Room, Office of the Deputy Chief Inspector.
“Military Police Headquarters?” Cheng Qianfan asked with a look of surprise in his hand, holding the microphone.
“Yes, Vice President Cheng, he was Section Chief Qiu of the Shanghai Municipal Government at first. However, Section Chief Qiu was beaten away by people from the Special Higher Education Course, and then people from the Gendarmerie Headquarters came.”
“Are you also asking for the extradition of those two people?” Cheng Qianfan asked.
“Yes, the Gendarmerie Headquarters is even more prepared. They also sent an ambulance to go directly to the police hospital to pick up people.”
Cheng Qianfan thought and asked, "Who leads the team from the Special Higher Education Course and the Military Police Headquarters?"
There was the sound of flipping paper on the other end of the phone, and then the answer was, "The person registered in the Special Higher Education Department is Kikube Hiroo, without specifying his position or rank. The person registered at the Military Police Headquarters is Umezu Sagami, who is a Major. .”
