After hearing the report from his subordinates, Araki Harima nodded noncommittally.
The name Yang Changnian is unfamiliar. I have never heard it mentioned by Wu Shanyue or Wang Kangnian. It is not on the list of important or special figures in the Central Government they know. This is also consistent with Shi Lei and Yang Changnian's confession that he is a sleeper. .
It's densely written on one page, but there aren't many valuable clues.
"Miyazaki-kun, take a look." Araki Harima handed the paper to Kentaro Miyazaki.
Cheng Qianfan clapped his hands, took the paper supply, and looked down.
According to Yang Changnian's confession, he is from Tangya Town, Jinhua, Zhejiang Province, and graduated from the 'Provincial Experimental Agricultural School' at the foot of Tangyaji Mountain.
This person is a distant relative of local celebrity Zhu Wenyuan.
Zhu Wenyuan was a student of Wang Tingyang, a famous scholar in Putang, Lipu (a Jinshi in the late Qing Dynasty). His ancestors lived in Yiwu and later moved to Putang Village, Lipu.
At that time, he was the Secretary-General of the General Office of the Zhejiang Provincial Government in the Republic of China. In order to revitalize Zhejiang's agriculture and animal husbandry and cultivate agricultural and animal husbandry talents, he planned to build an institution of higher learning along the Zhejiang Central Railway.
Zhu Wenyuan's wife is from Hengtang Village, Tangya Town, which is located south of Tangyaji Mountain and north of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway Line.
On the west side of Jishan Mountain was the beautiful "Fazang Temple", where a "Dongzhen Primary School" opened in the early years.
Zhu Wenyuan is very familiar with the environment here and thinks it is an ideal place to run a school.
Zhu Wenyuan conveyed this idea to Chen Wendan, then director of the Department of Education, and Chen Wendan personally formed the members of the team to prepare the agricultural school.
Zhu Wenyuan raised funds to build the school. He donated all his life savings to the construction of the agricultural school. More than 250 acres of land for the construction of the school were also mobilized to donate from several large landlords in Zhuxitang Village...
Yang Changnian's family was also one of the major landowners who donated money to build the school, so he was loved by the school leaders. He also attracted the attention of the Zhejiang Party Headquarters of the Party Affairs Investigation Office, which develops "outstanding youths" on Zhejiang campuses, and was recruited to join the Party Affairs Investigation Office.
Two years ago, Yang Changnian was transferred to Shanghai to lurk in Shanghai by the Party Affairs Investigation Office. His lurking mission was personally arranged by Qin Detai. Others in the Shanghai District of the Party Affairs Investigation Office did not know about it, so Yang Changnian was able to escape the arrest the year before last.
…
"Qin Detai is indeed very capable." Cheng Qianfan said with emotion, "Judging from the time, Yang Changnian had been secretly lurking before the empire occupied Shanghai."
Araki Harima nodded. Qin Detai was able to successfully escape before the Special High School secretly arrested him. This person was really sophisticated and cunning. It also showed that Qin Detai had a wide network of contacts in Shanghai and was well-informed. There were things that the Special High School did not know. news channels.
"Judging from the confession, Yang Changnian's relationship is very simple, and this person has no value." Araki Harima said.
"This person can lurk in peace and quiet and withstand a certain amount of torture. This in itself is much better than many Zhongtong people." Cheng Qianfan said.
"It seems that you really appreciate this person." Araki Harima said with a smile.
Cheng Qianfan glanced at the agent next to Araki Harima.
Araki Harima understood what his friend meant and waved his hand to order his men to go out.
"The French Concession cannot exist forever. Sooner or later, the empire will occupy the entire Shanghai." Cheng Qianfan then said, "I also have to make plans for the future."
"Are you not planning to return to the Special High School Headquarters?" Araki Harima asked seriously.
"It's not that I don't plan to come back." Cheng Qianfan shook his head. He glanced at Araki Harima and whispered, "I have a hunch that the section chief intends for me to play Cheng Qianfan's identity for a long time."
Araki Harima was silent for a while, then nodded, "Your intuition is right. The section chief has talked to me about your future."
Cheng Qianfan looked like he was all ears.
…
"Last time you reported to the section chief about your meeting with Li Cuiqun." Araki Harima said, "The section chief is very concerned about this matter. According to our investigation, Li Cuiqun has roped in his old superior Ding Mutun. , the military seems to be very supportive of this special agent force established by the Chinese."
"Dingmu Tun?" Cheng Qianfan looked thoughtful, "I have heard of this person, who is quite popular in the Kuomintang."
"Yes." Araki Harima nodded, "With the addition of Chongmetun, their agent force has grown very quickly. According to our investigation, even some of Wu Shanyue's subordinates have been secretly recruited."
"What does the section chief mean?" Cheng Qianfan looked thoughtful.
"You will remain in the French Concession for as long as the French Concession exists. If the Empire regains the French Concession, the section chief intends to arrange for you to join the secret service agencies of Dingmutun and Li Cuiqun in the name of Cheng Qianfan."
Araki Harima looked at Miyazaki Kentaro, "A secret service agency completely controlled by the Chinese. This is not in line with the empire's consistent strategy for dealing with these people. We need our own people to break in."
"I understand." Cheng Qianfan nodded slowly, "It seems that my feeling is right."
He took a sip of tea.
"Miyazaki-kun, you have a very keen sense of smell and can think of precautions." Araki Harima showed approval, "So, I support you in attracting people like Yang Changnian, and I believe the section chief will also agree."
Cheng Qianfan didn't speak, just nodded, with a somewhat lonely look on his expression.
Araki Harima understood his friend's mood. He knew that Kentaro Miyazaki must be eager to return to the Super High School Headquarters and show his identity as the imperial agent Kentaro Miyazaki. Unfortunately, the section chief had other considerations.
Araki Harima also supports the section chief's idea. The Special High School is both welcoming and wary of the special agent force controlled by the Chinese.
Although from the current point of view, the agent force of Li Cuiqun and Ding Mutun is not strong yet, but don't forget that there is strong support from the empire behind these two people. In time, their development momentum will not be underestimated.
Cheng Qianfan felt a little depressed, so he said goodbye to Araki Harima and left.
…
Araki Harima stood at the window and saw Kentaro Miyazaki meeting Koike in the yard. The two chatted for a while, and Miyazaki smiled and took something like a piece of paper from his body and gave it to Koike.
Araki Harima shook his head. He knew that Miyazaki-kun gave Koike a voucher from Jiujiu Trading.
Koike is too greedy. Every time he sees Miyazaki, he always wants to get some benefits. That is to say, Kentaro Miyazaki is sincere to his friends and has a good temper so he won't get angry.
When Araki Harima saw Kentaro Miyazaki leaving the yard and his back disappeared, he picked up the paper supply, left his office and walked towards the section chief's office.
…
Cheng Qianfan took out his cigarette case, took out a cigarette and put it into his mouth. He raised his head and saw a gray sky.
It's going to snow.
he said in his heart.
I turned the wheel of the kerosene lighter several times until it caught fire. I took a few puffs to make sure the cigarette was lit, and then I closed the lighter cover.
He took another puff of cigarette, scratched behind his ear with the little finger of his right hand, and then slowly got into the car.
Cheng Qianfan came in Araki Harima's car, and Li Hao drove behind and waited outside.
"Brother Fan." Li Hao glanced at the rearview mirror, "Should we go back to the patrol room or La Fei Fang?"
"Drive first." Cheng Qianfan closed the car curtain and said solemnly.
"Yes." Li Hao turned the car around and stepped on the accelerator.
…
Cheng Qianfan leaned his body against the back of the chair. If he put his palms into his clothes and pressed them against his back at this moment, he would feel wet sweat.
Cold sweat.
Cold sweat ran down his back.
Following Araki Harima to the torture room, Cheng Qianfan recognized at a glance that the captured 'criminal' was Yang Changnian.
His heart skipped a beat.
In other words, it was like a thunder exploded in my head.
Yang Changnian is his subordinate. The most important thing is that Yang Changnian, who serves as the secret liaison of the Shanghai special situation team, has not only seen the 'face' of team leader Xiao Mian, but also knows the true face of team leader Xiao Mian:
Yang Changnian is the only person in the Shanghai special situation team who knows that the famous Xiao Cheng is the team leader Xiao Mian, except for Hao Zai, Li Hao, Zhou Ru and Qiao Chuntao.
In other words, if Yang Chang was punished but failed to treason, he could even directly identify "Mr. Xiao Cheng" on the spot as Lieutenant Colonel Xiao Mian, the mysterious leader of the famous Shanghai special situation team.
…
Cheng Qianfan knew that this might be the most dangerous situation he had encountered so far in his latent career.
He forced himself to calm down.
Must be calm.
In fact, almost ninety-nine percent of lurkers would be exposed if they suddenly encountered such a situation at this moment.
Fortunately, Cheng Qianfan has nerves as hard as steel and has faced many life and death tests!
His mind was working.
The brain was running crazily. While trying to be extremely calm, not revealing anything, and keeping everything as normal, my mind was thinking quickly about how to deal with it.
Shoot Yang Changnian directly?
Cheng Qianfan shook his head inwardly, not to mention that Araki Harima would not give him a chance to shoot, but how should he explain after he successfully killed Yang Changnian?
Said that he couldn't help but shoot when he saw this 'Chinese man'?
Neither Araki Harima nor Sanbonjiro are fools. On the contrary, suspicion has long penetrated into their bones, especially Sanbonjiro.
What's more, it's easier said than done to kill trusted subordinates who haven't betrayed themselves. Of course, if cold-blooded ruthlessness is needed, Cheng Qianfan will not hesitate. People like them have too many burdens on their shoulders. The heart has also experienced too much destruction and torture.
step.
Two steps.
Three steps.
His steps were as usual, his expression was as usual, and when he looked at Yang Changnian, he had the same contempt and teasing that Kentaro Miyazaki looked at the Chinese, with a hint of torturous excitement and cruelty.
…
At the same time, Yang Changnian also saw clearly who the person walking over was.
Cheng Qianfan caught the flash of shock in Yang Changnian's eyes, but Yang Changnian wisely lowered his head and spit out a mouthful of blood to cover up the imperceptible abnormal reaction.
It was at this time that Cheng Qianfan made a choice:
Everything is business as usual.
Just be what you want.
His current identity is Kentaro Miyazaki, and he doesn't know Yang Changnian.
How Miyazaki Kentaro should react and what he should do is just business as usual.
In the unlikely event that Yang could not identify him after being tortured for many years, he could only adapt to the situation and respond with the normal reaction he imagined Kentaro Miyazaki would have after being randomly identified by a strange Chinese!
This choice, or rather this decision, is not enough to guarantee that Araki Harima will not be affected or suspect anything when Yang Changnian identifies him.
However, it can guarantee his own safety. Although this safety is only temporary and may be secretly monitored and investigated, this is the best situation he can think of.
His biggest trump card lies in his "iron-hard fact" identity as a special agent of the Special High School and Japanese Kentaro Miyazaki.
Unless he is catching a thief and raping someone on the spot, there is a high probability that he will not be in danger of being arrested or tortured on the spot.
All this is thanks to Eiichi Kagesa. The file that Kagesa-kun made for Kentaro Miyazaki can be described as almost perfect. It is also very detailed, signed by Eiichi Kagesa, and certified by Koji. The files signed at the same time made it almost impossible for neither Sanbonjiro nor anyone else to doubt his Japanese identity.
Cheng Qianfan understood the hidden flash of shock in Yang Changnian's eyes:
Not only was he shocked by his own appearance, he was even more shocked that he and Araki Harima appeared together.
Cheng Qianfan was most worried about Yang Changnian's misunderstanding:
Yang Changnian misunderstood that 'Xiao Mian' had rebelled, and then betrayed him, which led to his arrest.
This situation may seem absurd, but it actually has a high probability of happening. When people are facing life-or-death situations and high tension, sudden shocking events often lead to many unimaginable situations.
What made Cheng Qianfan secretly relieved was that Yang Changnian was shocked, but he was calm and did not react recklessly under stress.
…
Cheng Qianfan knew that he should use the fastest speed and the most covert method to send signals to Yang Changnian to communicate and resolve possible misunderstandings:
This time he did not go to interrogate the 'prisoner' in person, but sat on a swivel chair and watched with interest.
Araki Harima only noticed the cruelty in Miyazaki Kentaro's eyes and the excitement when he saw the prisoner being tortured, but did not notice that after Miyazaki Kentaro sat on the swivel chair, he first patted the armrest of the swivel chair with his right hand, and then turned to the left A circle of swivel chairs, another cigarette was lit, and three smoke rings were blown out.
With this seemingly normal action, Cheng Qianfan had already sent a signal to Yang Changnian.
This was the first time team leader "Xiao Mian" met Yang Changnian. He suddenly became interested and did these actions. Then he questioned Yang Changnian and asked him to answer.
At that time, Yang Changnian's answer was not good. Cheng Qianfan did not criticize him, but just did it again, so he would be very impressed.
To Cheng Qianfan's relief, Yang Changnian received this signal. Although Yang Changnian may have been confused as to why the team leader appeared with the Japanese agents and seemed to be a Japanese, his long-term trust in the team leader made him Choose to believe in Cheng Qianfan’s loyalty to the party and the country.
After that, Cheng Qianfan lit cigarettes for Yang Changnian twice, which was also a signal. It was a tacit understanding between this pair of officers and subordinates that only the two of them knew.
A very rare tacit understanding.
What surprised Cheng Qianfan the most was that Yang Changnian actually thought of using the identity of a sleeping agent of Zhongtong to protect himself.
This guy is truly a talent. This was Cheng Qianfan's first thought at the time.
The cronies performed well, and team leader Xiao Mian did not give in too much. He linked the arrest of 'Shi Lei' to Zhang Xiaolin's selfish motives and problems. This is the reaction Kentaro Miyazaki should have most.
Even if Yang Changnian betrayed him at some point later, Miyazaki Kentaro's reaction at this time was almost impeccable!
…
The car jolted for a while, and Cheng Qianfan came back to his senses from reviewing and reminiscing.
The purpose of recall is to review and check for any clues of hidden dangers.
About five or six minutes later, already far away from the special high school's 'sphere of influence', Haozi glanced at the rearview mirror again, "Brother Fan, did something happen?"
"Is there anyone from us at the Baxi Tea House on Bai Saizhong Road?" Cheng Qianfan asked in a deep voice.
In order to deceive people and provide warning and contact convenience, the Shanghai Special Situation Team took over several 'industries', including teahouses, grocery stores and tiger stove stalls.
For those who are inconvenient, they will also arrange for their subordinates to find ways to break in. This also arranges for their subordinates to have a legitimate identity.
"No." Li Hao shook his head, and then added, "I don't remember it. However, Yang Changnian is specifically responsible for Bai Saizhong Road, and he knows best."
Cheng Qianfan said nothing, he was lost in thought.
There are two things that are most urgent now:
First, the contingency plan must be activated immediately. Yang has not betrayed all year round, but now that he has left the extra-high school course, he cannot predict what will happen next, and must be prepared for the worst case scenario.
Second, find out why Yang Changnian was arrested. Yang Changnian's sudden arrest was too sudden.
The first point has a much higher priority than the second point.
