Cheng Qianfan frowned slightly.
Just now, he had intended to ask Toshihiko Okada about Wang Qianhai's situation.
Although Cheng Qianfan still has not fully understood the specific operation of the Mei Agency, Okada Toshihiko has said before that the Mei Agency 'is a secret service agency established by the empire to handle and guide all matters related to Wang Reclamation'.
Obviously, Mei Guan is like the Supreme Emperor above Wang's head.
Therefore, others may not know whether Wang Chuanhai was injured in the assassination incident and the extent of his injuries. It is impossible for Mei's agency to not know the inside story.
However, Cheng Qianfan thought again and again and chose to give up 'inquiring'.
Is Kentaro Miyazaki concerned about Wang Qianhai’s physical condition?
Is this a problem?
Maybe there is no problem. After all, after experiencing such an assassination, it seems reasonable for Kentaro Miyazaki, as a person involved, to casually care about Wang Qianhai's situation.
Or maybe there's something wrong.
Why is there a problem?
This was exactly what Toshihiko Okada had in mind:
Why are you so concerned about Wang Kehai's situation?
Once this doubt arises, it will be more troublesome.
As a latent agent, one of the most basic principles is that when something may not cause trouble or may cause trouble, treat it as "it will definitely cause trouble."
Cheng Qianfan also considered mentioning Liu Xia's talk about Wang Qianhai's visit to a Chinese medicine doctor without leaving a trace when reporting to Toshihiko Okada, so as to guide Toshihiko Okada to continue the topic.
However, he still decisively gave up this plan.
The reason is generally the same as the former.
Now, after the assassination incident, Wang Qianhai's physical condition is the most sensitive and highly confidential. Any words that may involve this may attract unusual attention.
Therefore, Cheng Qianfan cautiously gave up his plan to learn about Wang's reclamation situation from Okada Toshihiko.
At present, the safest thing is for him to inquire about this matter secretly.
…
This is Helmet Alley.
It was originally the site of Jinling Middle School and is now occupied by Japan's Sumitomo Trading Company.
Okada Toshihiko got out of the car and hurried up to the second floor of the original campus office building.
This is an office with a sign saying 'Concubine's Room'.
"Office Chief."
As soon as Okada Toshihiko sat down, a subordinate came in and handed him a document.
"Call from Shanghai?" Toshihiko Okada glanced at Nobuzawa Koizumi, and when he saw Koizumi nodded, he immediately picked up the message and read it.
The telegram was sent from the Shanghai Special Higher Education Institution.
Just in the morning, after the Minsheng Bridge assassination occurred, Toshihiko Okada immediately focused his suspicious eyes on Kentaro Miyazaki after he had a preliminary understanding of the assassination.
Otherwise, the Stypunk car stole the spotlight in this assassination incident.
Okada Toshihiko carefully considered and analyzed.
First of all, it can be ruled out that Kentaro Miyazaki personally participated in the assassination.
So, if there is really something wrong with Miyazaki, what role did he play in the attack?
Information transmitter!
This is the conclusion reached by Toshihiko Okada after careful analysis.
What information is conveyed?
Considering that the biggest suspicion surrounding Kentaro Miyazaki is the Stepunk car-related matters.
Okada Toshihiko was inclined to suspect that if Kentaro Miyazaki really had a problem, the information he transmitted to the outside world should be reporting on the highly directional object of the 'Steepunk' car.
However, the question arises, how can Kentaro Miyazaki be sure that the Stypunk car will join Wang Qianhai’s fleet?
This is an unexplainable link.
For a certain unexplainable link, Okada Toshihiko's usual response strategy is:
Ignore this link for now and continue investigating the others.
If other links tend to be problematic after investigation, then regardless of whether the unexplainable link forward can be explained now, he will default to the fact that it exists.
For espionage work, if the chain of evidence in other links is confirmed to a certain extent, then an unexplainable link is an explanation in itself.
In this way, the next focus of the investigation is, how did Miyazaki Kentaro pass on the information?
Kentaro Miyazaki once reported to him that he was subject to phone monitoring and movement surveillance by No. 76.
This was confirmed.
In this case, everyone and everything Miyazaki Kentaro comes into contact with are under surveillance.
Okada Toshihiko came to a conclusion after careful study:
Kentaro Miyazaki's most likely opportunity to convey information to the outside world was the telegram he sent to his home in Shanghai.
In this way, Okada Toshihiko first sent people directly to the telegraph office to obtain the manuscript of the message sent by Kentaro Miyazaki to his home in Shanghai.
Afterwards, Toshihiko Okada called the Shanghai Special Higher Education Department and asked Sanbonjiro to help him obtain the contents of the telegram received by the Cheng family.
He never doubted that Sanbonjiro had the ability to obtain a private message from his subordinate's home, but he didn't expect that the Shanghai Special Higher Education School would call back so quickly.
This can be called rapid.
A smile appeared on Okada Toshihiko's lips and he clicked his tongue. It seemed that Sanbon-kun was not as relieved about his subordinate as he seemed.
Experience told Toshihiko Okada that there was only one explanation for the prompt response from Shanghai Special Higher Education School, and that was that they had already mastered the contents of the private message sent from 'Tianjin' to Cheng Mansion.
Okada Toshihiko put down the message in his hand.
He couldn't help but nod.
The telegram received by the Cheng family was no different from the manuscript of the Nanjing telegram. This telegram was also the same as the telegram that Kentaro Miyazaki had previously submitted to him for review, and there was nothing unusual about it.
Okada Toshihiko studied the message carefully again.
He focused on looking for any words in the telegram that might refer to or allude to 'Steepunk'.
In the end, Okada Toshihiko was convinced that in this telegram, which was more like a love letter than a safety telegram, he did not find any possible suspicious words pointing to 'Steepunk'.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
In addition, during the previous conversation with Kentaro Miyazaki, there were no abnormalities in Kentaro Miyazaki's words and gestures. In this way, Kentaro Miyazaki's suspicion can basically be ruled out.
Okada Toshihiko thought of the conversation he had just had with Miyazaki Kentaro. He thought for a moment and pressed the bell on his desk.
Koizumi Nobuze knocked on the door and came in.
"Office Chief."
"I want Wang to fill in the list of entourage." Okada Toshihiko said.
"Director, do you want a list of Wang Chuhai's visit to Ning, or a list of all personnel?" Koizumi Nobuze asked.
The former is the real team members of Wang's visit to Nanjing, and the latter is a list of all personnel including accompanying escorts and miscellaneous staff.
"List of all personnel." Okada Toshihiko said in a deep voice.
According to Kentaro Miyazaki's reasoning in the 'unexpected' direction, the information about Wang Chuanhai in Nanjing and even Wang Chuanhai in Laohuqiao Prison may have been leaked long ago.
Who leaked this information?
The most likely person is Wang's entourage.
"The focus is on the miscellaneous staff and the list of agents on the 76th." Okada Toshihiko said.
Who leaked the secret?
He tends to be the security personnel of No. 76 and those casual workers. These people move more freely and have the greatest opportunity to contact the outside world and take the opportunity to pass on information.
…
Confucius Temple, Juxing Pavilion, Yilin Tea House.
When 'Iron Helmet' came to the teahouse, it was the time when tea-goers were busy.
'Going to Confucius Temple to have tea' is one of the joys of life for Nanjing people.
If you are invited by a friend to have tea at the Confucius Temple, it is a very honorable thing.
Tiejei was invited to drink tea from the Confucius Temple.
At this time of year, people who can come to the teahouse to drink tea are either those who have free time, or those who want to discuss business and meet friends.
Sitting on the bench, drinking hot tea, eating snacks, chatting, bragging randomly, or chatting about old things, just talking and laughing, it seems that the misery of this subjugated slave has been temporarily forgotten.
There are also those who have a lot of money and can go to the private seats on the second floor.
The tea house leans against the Qinhuai River. It is quite pleasant to sit in the elegant room by the window on the second floor and drink tea while watching the boats coming and going in the Qinhuai River.
'Iron Helmet' doesn't have much money, but he is a frequent visitor to the private room on the second floor.
Without him, he is the inquisitor in this area, and he also acts as a matchmaker and matchmaker.
When he walked into the private room No. 3 on the second floor, he saw Brother Yuan holding a long-mouthed copper pot in his hand, brewing tea leisurely.
There are several small bamboo cylinders with tea leaves on the long table, as well as some preserved melon seeds and peanuts.
"Boss Yuan, Tie Helmet is late and was delayed on the way." Tie Helmet said.
"Brother Iron Helmet is here." Yuan Ziren looked up and nodded, "Sit down."
Tiejui closed the door, sat down, picked up the teacup, and took a sip without feeling his mouth burn at all.
The two of them just drank tea, ate preserved fruits and melon seeds, and chatted casually.
The topic was about the gunshots that occurred at Minsheng Bridge this morning.
"The police station said it was a gangster who kidnapped people." Tie Gui spat out the melon seed skin and said, "It doesn't look like it. What gangster risked his life and came to Nanjing to kidnap people?"
As he spoke, he made a gesture of firing a rifle and lowered his voice and said, "The Japanese are nothing, but the Japanese soldiers' marksmanship is amazing."
"I just hope that this trouble will not hinder business." Yuan Ziren shook his head and said in a lower voice, "Brother Iron Helmet, is there any way to do this?"
Both of their voices were lowered, as if they were discussing business and personal matters.
"How are the brothers?" Yuan Ziren asked.
"They're all gone." Tiejui said with a painful expression, "Except for one person who jumped into the river and ran away, everyone else is dead."
"They're all...dead." Yuan Ziren's expression was painful. He rubbed his cheeks with both hands, and then asked expectantly, "Who jumped into the river? Is it Brother Six?"
"Maybe." Tiejie thought for a while and said, "I just heard that this man was shot when he jumped into the river..."
His voice lowered, as if he didn't want to continue talking.
"Look." Yuan Ziren gritted his teeth and said, "Tell the brothers to look for him. We must find Brother Six."
He looked at Tiejie and said, "You must ask Brother Six in person what is going on!"
"No." Tiejui shook his head, "The Japanese and the appeasement army were searching the streets like crazy, arresting people everywhere."
He said to Yuan Ziren, "Team leader, if you go out on the streets at this time, any strangers in the nearby streets will definitely be arrested and interrogated."
Yuan Ziren frowned and finally sighed, "Then I can only trouble my brother to find out the news."
He stood up, picked up the copper pot and poured tea into Tiejui's cup, "Be sure to be more careful."
"Understood." Tiejie nodded.
In order to avoid arousing suspicion, he did not leave immediately. He had tea, talked and laughed for about half an hour before saying goodbye and leaving.
…
After Tiejui left, Yuan Ziren ate preserved fruit leisurely by himself and sipped tea from time to time, which felt very comfortable.
About a quarter of an hour later, someone opened the door to the private room.
Yuan Ziren was happily throwing a candied fruit into his mouth. When he saw someone coming in, he immediately stood up and bowed respectfully, "Mr. Mei."
"Sit, don't be restrained." The man smiled gently and gestured for Yuan Ziren to sit down.
"Yes." Yuan Ziren sat down carefully, with an upright posture, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
Regarding this 'Mr. Wei', he was very cautious and did not dare to do anything that would offend the other party.
All because he had offended this person unintentionally.
Speaking of which, the reason is actually quite strange.
This is because 'Mr. Mei' is actually surnamed 'My grandson', and his full name in Japan is 'My grandson Shinta'.
Yuan Ziren heard this name for the first time at that time, and was shocked that a Japanese person had a surname like "my grandson". He once joked, "This is a good surname. I never thought I could be the grandfather of a Japanese person."
Turning around, someone reported this matter to 'my grandson Shentai'.
When my grandson Shen Tai learned about this, he was not angry. He was very reasonable and even went to Yuan Ziren to explain to him the origin of his surname very calmly and politely.
According to my grandson Shinta’s explanation, my grandson’s surname is pronounced あびこ, and there are many theories about its origin.
First, in the "Kojiki", there is a place name "Abigu" that has the same pronunciation as "my grandson". With historical changes, people gradually wrote it uniformly as "my grandson".
Second, in ancient times there was a group of foreign residents from India, who were called "Abina Gugu" in the local dialect, which means "God of Fire".
These people lived near Chiba. To express their memory of their ancestors, later generations called the place "Abina Gugu", which later evolved into "my grandson".
My grandson Shinta said that he is inclined to the first theory, because how can the proud people of the Yamato nation be the descendants of despicable Indians?
Yuan Ziren, who was hung up and whipped with a whip dipped in salt water, burst into tears and expressed his agreement with my grandson Shentai's statement, and shouted "Long live Abigu".
Because of these things, Yuan Ziren did not dare to be careless when facing 'Mr.
He maliciously speculated that perhaps because of his surname, which was often ridiculed and discriminated against, 'my grandson' became sensitive and irritable, and was simply a psycho. Neurotics should be taken care of well, and a Japanese psycho master should take good care of him.
"The Minsheng Bridge assassination of Wang Qianhai, why were your people not involved? Why didn't any news come out in advance?" 'Mr. Ma' said in a calm tone, but it sounded strangely cold to Yuan Ziren's ears.
…
"Is there any movement?" Dingmutun asked Tong Xueyong on the other end of the phone.
"Report to the director, no." Tong Xueyong said.
Ding Mutun frowned. It didn't make sense. If Cheng Qianfan really had a problem, he must be anxious to inquire about Mr. Wang's physical condition. Why didn't he take any action?
"Monitor closely," Dingmutun said.
Putting down the phone, he called his men in, "Er Chun, where is Cheng Qianfan now?"
"Today is the second hospital." Erchun replied.
Dingmutun was slightly stunned, then slapped his forehead. He knew what the problem was.
At this moment, Dingmutun, who was always proud of his intelligence, even felt ashamed to see others.
