Cheng Qianfan seemed to be startled by the reaction of his friend Araki Harima, and then he said with a bit of laughter and laughter, "Araki-kun, I'm just using you as an example, don't be nervous."
"I don't like to use me as an example like this." Araki Harima said with a serious expression, and at the same time he was blaming his friend in his heart.
It's not that he has a guilty conscience. Araki Harima naturally knows that he is loyal to the empire. However, after the special high school has the precedent of Seto Uchigawa's treason, this kind of topic is too sensitive. Even if he gives an example, Araki Harima does not want it. Get involved with yourself.
"Okay, just to give you an example." Sanbonjiro said. He glanced at Araki Harima and said, "I know your loyalty to the empire."
Araki Harima breathed a sigh of relief and began to think about the question Kentaro Miyazaki had just given as an example.
"Araki-kun, don't think too much. What's the first name that comes to your mind?" Cheng Qianfan said.
"Kazuo Miyazaki." Araki Harima blurted out.
Miyazaki Kazuo was a military doctor arranged for Cheng Qianfan by Mimotojiro when he was participating in secret operations with the Special High School.
Cheng Qianfan nodded slowly, then he didn't say anything more, but stood at attention and looked at Sanbonjiro.
"Why Kazuo Miyazaki?" Sanbonjiro asked, staring at Araki Harima.
"I thought of this name subconsciously." Araki Harima thought for a while and said, "Probably because the identity Miyazaki-kun uses as Kazuo Miyazaki was personally arranged by me."
…
Sanbonjiro looked at Kentaro Miyazaki.
Cheng Qianfan had a smile on his face, "Generally speaking, the first thing that comes to mind is the name of a close relative or friend, or the name of a very hostile person."
"Araki-kun thought of the name Miyazaki Kazuo. On the one hand, Araki-kun and I are good friends and have a very good relationship. On the other hand, Araki-kun arranged the identity of Miyazaki Kazuo for me. He was very impressed by these two things. For this reason, the first thing that came to Araki-kun's mind was Kazuo Miyazaki's name." Cheng Qianfan said, bowing slightly towards Araki Harima, "It is Kentaro's honor to have a friend like Araki-kun."
"So, what you mean is that the name Mizutani Yuji is most likely the name of a person who has a very close relationship with Liu Bo." Sanbonjiro said in a deep voice, "In fact, this Mizutani Yuji is probably Liu Bo's name in the empire. Internally developed downline?”
Cheng Qianfan did not answer the section chief's question immediately. He frowned and tried to think hard, but finally shook his head and said with a serious expression, "section chief, objectively speaking, my subordinates are not as in-depth as you think. I just feel that a very cautious person like Liu Bo would not choose a name randomly for no reason."
He looked at Sanbonjiro with solemn eyes and a hint of admiration, "Section Chief Mingjian Wanli, this analysis of yours made me feel enlightened. No wonder I have always felt that I can't figure out the name thing. I see."
Araki Harima was also shocked by Sanbonjiro's analysis and judgment. It turned out that there was such a deep consideration behind Seto Uchigawa's choice of the name Mizutaniuchi Yuji?
However, there was something that shocked him at the same time:
His friend Kentaro Miyazaki's mouth was even more powerful than the most eloquent goddess. It was obviously Miyazaki who brought up the problem with the name, but in the end it was Kentaro Miyazaki who admired the section chief.
This guy is good at sucking up.
What shocked Araki Harima the most was that there was no trace of flattery in Miyazaki's flattery. As the 'participant' who was present at the scene from beginning to end, he actually had the feeling that the section chief was so powerful.
Obviously, Sanbonjiro was very impressed by Miyazaki Kentaro's words.
The head of the Shanghai Special Higher Education Course had a rosy complexion and a slightly brighter smile. He looked at Araki Harima and said, "Araki, please arrange to check if there is a person named Mizutaniuchi Yuji in our department."
"Hai."
"It's not just limited to the Imperial Secret Service." Sanbonjiro thought for a moment, then added, "Within the Locust Army, it even extends to the Empire's embassies and consulates, Imperial trading companies, etc."
"What the section chief means is to find an imperial citizen named Yuji Mizutani." Cheng Qianfan thought for a while and said.
Sanbonjiro nodded slightly, "Just do what Miyazaki said."
"Hai." Araki Harima stood at attention and said, and then he showed hesitation.
"Huh?" Sanbonjiro looked at Araki Harima.
"Section Chief, Miyazaki-kun also said just now that in addition to close relatives and friends, the name a person blurts out may also be someone he hates deeply..." Araki Harima said.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Sanbonjiro thought for a moment, "Let's first investigate whether there is Yuji Mizutaniuchi."
"Understood." Araki Harima nodded. Regardless of whether this person is closely related to Setouchi River or is an enemy of Setouchi River, we must first find out whether this person exists.
"Pay attention to confidentiality and be extra cautious." Sanbonjiro warned again.
If Mizutani Yuji is really Liu Bo's spy within the empire, this will be an extremely shocking event:
A senior agent of the Special High School not only betrayed the empire, but also incited other citizens of the empire to rebel!
"Hai." Araki Harima understood what the section chief meant and nodded with a serious expression.
Sanbonjiro looked at Kentaro Miyazaki, and even came over and patted Kentaro Miyazaki on the shoulder, "Smart guy."
"My subordinates have always been dull, but they have made some progress because of the hard work of the section chief." Cheng Qianfan said respectfully.
Sanbonjiro laughed loudly, and the more he looked at Miyazaki, the more he liked him.
The main responsibility for Liu Bo's treason lies with Eiichi Kagesa, or to put it further, it lies with Sadaaki Kagesa who was in charge of the special high school affairs at the time. He, Sanbonjiro, has very little responsibility.
Under such circumstances, if he could dig out Liu Bo's spies planted within the empire, it would be a great achievement, and it would also highlight his extraordinary abilities.
…
After arranging an investigation into Mizutani Yuji's case, the focus of the discussion among the three people was to "look back" and focus on how the Red Party transported this group of die-hard Japanese haters out of Shanghai.
Wow.
Sanbonjiro opened the scarlet curtain, revealing the military map hanging on the wall.
"Locust soldiers are guarding all the wharves and pipe networks on the waterways. Among them, several key points leaving Shanghai are heavily guarded by imperial officers and soldiers. Our special higher education department and even the gendarmerie have deployed personnel here. ." Araki Harima picked up the baton and clicked on several important dock checkpoints.
"In terms of land transportation," Araki Harima continued, "the intensity of inspections is even greater than that of water transportation."
As he said that, Araki Harima shook his head, "My subordinates really can't imagine how the Red Party transported these people out of Shanghai."
Sanbonjiro stared at the map with a gloomy expression.
Cheng Qianfan also stared at the map with an extremely serious expression, frowning and thinking.
He seemed to be frowning and thinking about how the Red Party led people to leave Shanghai, but in fact he was looking at this map 'greedily'.
The map in the Office of the Director of the Shanghai Special Higher Education Course is definitely one of the most secret military maps among the Japanese agencies in Shanghai.
On this map, the locations, troop strength, and even the patrol routes of key checkpoints of the Japanese army are clearly marked.
It can be said that the information marked on this map is information of great operational value that our party, the Chongqing Military Command, and the Central Command could not obtain without the sacrifice of many people.
"Miyazaki-kun, the French Concession is now a hiding place for Japanese haters. You know the situation in the French Concession best. Please tell me." Sanbonjiro named Miyazaki Kentaro.
"My subordinate came to the Public Concession from the French Concession today. When I passed the checkpoint, I noticed that the Locust Army soldiers were very strict in checking passers-by." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, with a look of confusion on his face, "I also can't understand that the Red Party is How to move a large number of people to pass the checkpoint."
He stepped forward with a serious expression and stared at the map carefully, "These people are not farmers or small businessmen, they are Japanese haters with a certain level of knowledge, and they should not be too old. In that case , if such a large number of young men and women want to pass the checkpoint, it is impossible not to attract the attention of the imperial warriors."
yes.
Miyazaki Kentaro is right, this is exactly what they are confused about.
"Capture Seto Uchigawa, we can get all the answers from the mouth of this shameful traitor." Sanbonjiro said coldly with a calm face.
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
…
After Cheng Qianfan and Araki Harima left the section chief's office together, they went to the rooftop to smoke and talk secretly.
"Is there anything unusual about Wang Kangnian?" Cheng Qianfan asked with concern.
"Very honest." Araki Harima took the cigarette handed over by his friend, lit it, and took a puff.
He knew that Kentaro Miyazaki had been paying close attention to Wang Kangnian's movements. Miyazaki-kun had successively killed Ding Naifei and Xiaosi, two of Wang Kangnian's most valued subordinates. The most important thing was that according to his analysis, Xiaosiji was probably a red party member. The death of the ace cryptographer 'Butterfly' was a huge loss even for the empire, let alone the Red Party, which was short of talents.
If Wang Kangnian is indeed the Red Party's ace action master 'Chen Zhou', then Wang Kangnian will most likely take revenge on 'Cheng Qianfan' out of grief and anger.
"It shouldn't be." Cheng Qianfan frowned slightly.
"Yes, you shouldn't." Araki Harima also frowned.
Wang Kangnian is Chen Zhou and Xiaosi is Butterfly Flower. If these two speculations are true, Wang Kangnian cannot be so silent.
"Araki-kun, is it possible that your guess and mine are wrong?" Cheng Qianfan said, and then he shook his head first, "It's unlikely. Araki-kun's analysis is logically without any problems. The most important thing is It’s…”
The most important thing is that Araki Harima's analysis conclusion can be said to be an almost perfect explanation of many doubts.
It can be said that Wang Kangnian is Chen Zhou and Xiao Si is Butterfly Flower. This analysis conclusion suddenly fills in the blanks of many unsolved cases being investigated by the Special High School. It can be said to be the answer.
"Unless..." Cheng Qianfan looked thoughtful. He took a puff from his cigarette and then flicked the ashes. "Wang Kangnian is more tolerant than we thought, or his superiors issued strict orders to him, telling him not to act rashly. .”
"The death of 'Butterfly Flower' is a great loss to the Red Party. However, the Red Party chose to endure it for the time being and did not take any action." Araki Harima was inspired by his friend's words and quickly thought about it, "Red Party" The party's patience is not because they are afraid of the locust army and dare not retaliate, not to mention that on the surface, it is Cheng Qianfan who killed Xiaosi, and they do not know your true identity, Miyazaki-kun."
"Under such circumstances, the Red Party still chooses to be patient. What does this mean?" Araki Harima's eyes flashed with excitement. "It means that they have no energy or manpower to avenge 'Butterfly Flower'." .”
"The dead are dead. There is no essential difference in taking revenge one day sooner or later." Araki Harima took out the cigarette case, took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth. He held the still burning cigarette butt against the fire and smoked a few times. After speaking, he continued, "The living is the most important."
"Yes, alive, alive!" Araki Harima's eyes suddenly shone with excitement. He looked at his friend Kentaro Miyazaki, "The most important thing is the living!"
"The most important thing is to be alive?" Cheng Qianfan was stunned at first, and then fell into thinking under the gaze of his friend. Soon, his eyes showed shock and excitement of sudden realization, and finally all the emotions turned into an expression of admiration. The 'that's how it is' look.
He looked at Araki Harima and said in an excited tone, "Araki-kun, I understand, the living people refer to the group of die-hard Japanese haters that the Red Party wants to transport out of Shanghai!"
Seeing the extremely shocked and admiring look behind his friend's suddenly enlightened expression, Araki Harima felt very comfortable. He nodded, "Yes, for the Red Party, it is important to avenge 'Butterfly Flower', but, they The most important urgent task before now was to find a way to transport that group of people out of Shanghai."
Cheng Qianfan was stunned. He took several puffs of cigarette in succession and quickly, and then he choked. He coughed and looked at Araki Harima with a shocked and angry expression, "Araki-kun, you mean, what we have always said The confused Red Party used what method to transport the group of people out of Shanghai, but it was actually Chen Zhou, that is, Wang Kangnian who was secretly operating this matter?!"
"This also explains two problems." Araki Harima said with a serious and confident expression: "First, why Wang Kangnian did not take revenge against Cheng Qianfan was because he was busy smuggling people out of Shanghai and did not have time to go there at the moment. Do other things.
Secondly, the reason why we have never been able to find out how those people left Shanghai is precisely because the spy Wang Kangnian was secretly operating this matter. "
Araki Harima looked at his friend and gritted his teeth with hatred, "Wang Kangnian's detective brigade is responsible for the checkpoint investigation work at Donggou Pier."
Cheng Qianfan was shocked when he heard this, with an expression of annoyance and disbelief.
He was really upset. He never expected that Araki Harima would place our party's troop transportation work on Wang Kangnian. Otherwise, he should have done something in advance.
After thinking about it again, it seems that it was not tampered with in advance, but it is more real.
