"Miyazaki-kun is back." The man greeted Cheng Qianfan with an enthusiastic ninety-degree bow in fluent Japanese.
Cheng Qianfan was horrified.
He immediately realized that he had made a very serious mistake by not paying attention for a moment.
He shouldn't have come to investigate this house in Hongkou District with his true colors. He should have disguised himself.
His appearance is almost exactly the same as Kentaro Miyazaki. As long as he appears here today and the neighbors see it, this will be a hidden danger:
One possibility is that Kentaro Miyazaki has not arrived in Shanghai yet. Then, after a few days, the real Kentaro Miyazaki arrives in Shanghai and comes to this house. The neighbors will obviously be surprised.
In this way, Cheng Qianfan could only find ways to intercept Miyazaki Kentaro in advance at docks, stations, and wherever possible, and do everything possible to deal with him silently.
Another possibility is that this is the current situation. It can be seen from the other party's words and his judgment just now that someone is already living in the house. Now it turns out that this person is Kentaro Miyazaki who has arrived in Shanghai in advance.
This means that the real Kentaro Miyazaki is at the house, or he happens to be out, and the other party mistakes Cheng Qianfan for Kentaro Miyazaki.
The courtyard door was not locked. He had not had time to see clearly whether the door inside was locked. Therefore, Cheng Qianfan could not tell whether Kentaro Miyazaki was in the house or out. Judging from the high probability, he was more likely to be in the house.
Maybe the next second, the real Kentaro Miyazaki will push out the door from the yard, or return from the street.
Bad situation.
…
Cheng Qianfan was shocked inside, but his face was extremely calm.
From what I learned about Kentaro Miyazaki from Taiguchi Imai, he is relatively introverted, has few friends, is sensitive to strangers, and does not like social activities.
Cheng Qianfan changed his facial expression subtly and became stiffer.
Or it can be understood as a cold expression that is not rude but clearly shows that one does not want to be disturbed.
His eyes swept across the man in front of him extremely quickly, capturing his appearance and details:
This is a short, neatly dressed man.
However, this person's cuffs were fluffed, and there were brown stains in some places that couldn't be cleaned. This was due to engine oil or oil stains.
The most important thing is that what this person just did to Cheng Qianfan was a ninety-degree bow, which is a very, very solemn etiquette.
Japanese citizens rarely use the highest salute unless their status is very different and they are extremely respectful, grateful, or apologetic to the greatest extent.
There are many Japanese factories nearby. Cheng Qianfan once heard from Imai Tai that the bosses of these Japanese factories like to use Koreans as supervisors.
The cuffs are fluffy, which is caused by long-term holding of the whip and friction between the tip of the whip and the cuffs.
The brown spots on the cuffs are a mix of engine oil and blood.
So, the result is obvious:
This man is a Korean working for a Japanese boss.
To be precise, it was the North Korean overseers who wielded whips and beat Chinese workers in Japanese factories.
…
In Cheng Qianfan's mind and sight, he analyzed and calculated in a very short time and came to the judgment that was most likely to be close to the facts.
He responded quickly.
Lu Bingjiu felt uneasy.
Mr. Kentaro Miyazaki did not respond to his warm greeting and stared at him for more than ten seconds with a cold expression.
He thought quickly in his mind, did he offend Miyazaki-kun in some way?
"Who are you?" Cheng Qianfan raised his chin slightly, looking arrogant without being too rude, and snorted inaudibly.
"Miyazaki-kun, I am Lu Bingjiu from Hanshin Screw Factory. It's all my fault. It's hard to remember your name." Lu Bingjiu said quickly. When he saw Cheng Qianfan frowning, he immediately reminded him, "You came here yesterday and I helped you." You carried the box."
Naturally, he did not dare to complain about the Japanese master's bad memory. The reason could only be that his name was too difficult to remember.
"Mr. Lu." Cheng Qianfan squeezed out a smile on his stern face, "I remembered."
Lu Bingjiu was very excited when he heard that Miyazaki-kun thought of his name and continued to say some compliments.
"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, I'm very tired and want to go home and rest." Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly, "Please don't disturb me."
Too much talk leads to mistakes. He didn't know how much this person knew about Miyazaki Kentaro, so he should send him away early.
Hearing this, Lu Bingjiu, who was originally going to be very attentive, said goodbye quickly, bent down, walked quickly to the door of his house, opened the door and went in, then turned around, bowed his head at 'Miyazaki Kentaro' and smiled flatteringly, and said, 'Miyazaki-kun, You should pay more attention to rest. '.
Afterwards, Lu Bingjiu bowed deeply and then closed the door.
He even bolted the door from the inside to show that he would not disturb Kentaro Miyazaki.
…
Hearing Lu Bingjiu's footsteps away from the door after entering the house, Cheng Qianfan glanced around, then gently used his hands to support him, and jumped into the courtyard wall nimbly without making a sound.
Imai Tai's house happens to be at the end of the alley. Except for the house where Lu Bingjiu lives, the other houses are not next to each other, so it is well hidden. As long as Lu Bingjiu doesn't peek, he won't be seen.
Not to mention that Cheng Qianfan judged from the sound of footsteps that Lu Bingjiu had left the door, and because of Lu Bingjiu's height, he could not see what was going on inside the wall of the courtyard next door.
After Cheng Qianfan landed, he hunched his waist and walked around the main room and bedroom in a semi-elliptical trajectory, heading straight to a separate room on the side, which was the utility room.
The utility room was unlocked, so Cheng Qianfan quickly put on his gloves.
While pushing the door gently, he supported the door with his hands to prevent it from squeaking because it was old and wouldn't open.
Enter the door, turn around, hold the door and close it gently.
Cheng Qianfan took a glance and saw that there was an old desk in the utility room, as well as a dustpan, a worn tire, and some old newspapers.
An old straw mat was leaning against the corner of the table.
Cheng Qianfan's heart moved, he unfolded the straw mat slightly, placed a newspaper randomly on the hole, and got behind the straw mat himself.
He had to wait, wait for dark.
While waiting, Cheng Qianfan was also reviewing the gains and losses of his trip.
He shouldn't be here with his true self.
This was the only and biggest mistake. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and not only deceived Lu Bingjiu, but also got extremely important information from Lu Bingjiu:
Kentaro Miyazaki came to Shanghai yesterday.
And considering Kentaro Miyazaki's introverted personality, this means that very few people have met Kentaro Miyazaki.
His coming here today is quite timely.
…
In the bedroom.
The windows were closed, but the curtains were not drawn.
Miyazaki Kentaro was lying on the bed, snoring loudly, and there were several empty wine bottles on the table.
There were many pieces of paper scattered on the ground, covered with dense writing.
One of the documents has a Japanese logo on the header: Kobe University Department of Chinese Literature.
Then the first line of text reads Kunshan sketching survey report...
The sky gradually darkened, and finally, night came.
Cheng Qianfan held a dagger in his hand, slowly inserted it through the crack in the door, flicked it gently, and opened the door bolt in four or five strokes.
He did not go in immediately, but opened the door gently, and at the same time used a wooden stick to pick up a broken felt hat he found in the utility room and poked it in, just like a head poking around.
At the same time, he stepped aside to prevent a gun from being suddenly fired inside.
For about ten seconds, there was no movement.
Cheng Qianfan sniffed and smelled a strong smell of alcohol.
He still didn't dare to be careless at all. He held the dagger tightly in his right hand, keeping a posture ready to stab at any time. He bent down and quickly entered the door.
There was no possible attack from either side behind the door.
Only then did Cheng Qianfan look up. In the dimness, through the moonlight through the window, he could vaguely see a figure lying on the bed, snoring.
If the prediction is correct, this person is Kentaro Miyazaki:
I have admired his name for a long time, and finally met him today, Mr. Kentaro Miyazaki.
