My years of espionage

Chapter 1048 Straw Hat

"Has Cheng Qianfan openly joined the empire?" Sanben Jiro looked at Miyazaki Kentaro and asked.

"No." Cheng Qianfan shook his head.

"Since that's the case, why not Master Lu recommend Cheng Qianfan?" Jiro Sanben chuckled, "Besides, Master Lu will not recommend Cheng Qianfan publicly, but just greet Zhou Liang in private."

"It's my subordinates who overcomplicated things." Cheng Qianfan said hastily, "The section chief sees it clearly."

From Sanben Jiro's words, he captured another intelligence:
Behind Lu Daren is Zhou Liang, the general of the Wang family.

It can be inferred from this that Lu Daren not only defected to the Japanese long ago, but also hooked up with Wang Jianhai and his gang.

……

Cheng Qianfan came out of Sanben Jiro's office.

He didn't go downstairs immediately, but came to the rooftop, where Araki Harima was already waiting.

Standing on the roof, looking northwest, it is the grove of the special high school.

"Is Lu Hu buried there too?" Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette and took a puff, then asked casually.

"What's wrong?" Araki Harima asked.

"I've offered a reward to the outside world. If you find Lu Hu himself, you will be rewarded with [-] French currency, and if you find Lu Hu's body, you will be rewarded with [-] French currency." Cheng Qianfan chuckled.

"Do you want me to dig out Lu Hu's body to earn this money?" Araki Harima said with a laugh.

Cheng Qianfan also laughed.

After laughing for a while, he restrained his smile, "Speaking of business."

He looked at Araki Harima, "Araki-kun, is Cao Yu unusual?"

After careful analysis, Araki Harima found out that Cao Yu might be a hidden spy, so he arranged for people to secretly follow and monitor Cao Yu.

"No abnormality." Araki Harima frowned and shook his head, "Actually, I'm already inclined to be too sensitive."

He took the cigarette roll handed over by Kentaro Miyazaki, "I have thought about this matter carefully for the past two days, but I have a new understanding."

"Oh? I'd like to hear about it."

"I first had doubts about Cao Yu, and I tended to think that there was something wrong with Cao Yu, and then I speculated and analyzed it based on the fact that Cao Yu had a problem. Everywhere will be infinitely magnified." Araki Harima said.

He took a puff of his cigarette and said, "It's like Kotsuba Naito misunderstood you and insisted that Miyazaki-kun has something wrong with you."

Cheng Qianfan showed a thoughtful look, and his expression was solemn, "I kind of understand what you mean, Mr. Araki."

He thought about it, and continued, "There is an idiom in China, which is to steal an axe from a neighbor."

"That's exactly what it means." Araki Harima nodded, "After monitoring Cao Yu, this person is normal. On this basis, it seems that it is not convincing to analyze the doubts about Cao Yu."

With a cigarette in his mouth, Cheng Qianfan stretched his shoulders, took a puff of the cigarette, and said with a vague frown, "According to Mr. Araki's logic, Wang Kangnian may also be preconceived by us as something wrong... "

"No." Araki Harima shook his head resolutely, and at the same time he gave Miyazaki Kentaro a strange look.

Miyazaki-kun hated Wang Kangnian deeply and wanted to kill Wang Kangnian with his own hands. However, it is clear that Miyazaki-kun did not lose his mind because of personal grievances. He hesitated to point out that this behavior was recognized and appreciated by Araki Harima.

"However, all our doubts about Wang Kangnian are based on the assumption that there is something wrong with this person, and then we lock up the evidence step by step." Cheng Qianfan said with a frown.

"Miyazaki-kun, you also said that the evidence is locked." Araki Harima shook his head, "Wang Kangnian is different from Cao Yu. Many doubts about Wang Kangnian have been confirmed and there is evidence."

One of the strongest evidences is Wang Kangnian's hatred for Chen Xiangjun.

According to the intelligence report from the detective team, Wang Kangnian fired wildly at Chen Xiangjun's body, emptying the magazine.

what is this?
This is Chen Zhou's deep hatred for Chen Xiangjun, the traitor who killed the 'Bamboo Forest'!
"Has Wang Kangnian recruited?" Cheng Qianfan asked.

"No." Araki Harima frowned, and even showed a rare look of amazement, "This person has a will like steel."

"Kill it." Cheng Qianfan said decisively.

Araki Harima looked at his friend in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Qianfan asked.

"I heard you raised questions about the Wang Kangnian incident just now, and I thought you..." Araki Harima said.

"I'm really worried that Wang Kangnian will be wronged by us." Cheng Qianfan sneered, "I'm worried that he won't die."

Araki Harima was slightly taken aback, and then laughed.

By the way, this is the Miyazaki-kun he is familiar with and understands.

……

On the way back to the central patrol room from the super high class.

Cheng Qianfan sat in the back seat of the car and fell asleep.

He is a little tired.

Every time he came to the special high class, it was nothing more than a silent, but extremely thrilling and thrilling battle for him.

Fight wits and courage with Sanben Jiro.

Deal with Araki Harima witty.

Cheng Qianfan focused on recalling the conversation with Araki Harima just now, and he was secretly satisfied with his response.

Araki Harima suddenly reflected, reflecting on the way of inferring Cao Yu's guilt.

This caught Cheng Qianfan by surprise.

Almost instantly, he thought of Wang Kangnian from Cao Yu.

Wang Kangnian's situation is quite similar to Cao Yu's.

Araki Harima reflected on Cao Yu's case, and Cheng Qianfan didn't think that Araki Harima would not be associated with Wang Kangnian's case.

Therefore, he made a decisive decision almost instantly:
According to Araki Harima's thinking, he took the initiative to raise doubts about Wang Kangnian's case.

Facts have proved that Cheng Qianfan's quick and decisive coping strategy is correct.

At this moment, whether Wang Kangnian is Chen Zhou or not is no longer important to him.

The important thing is that he can't arouse Araki Harima's unnecessary suspicion in this matter.

Judging from the results, Cheng Qianfan was still satisfied, perhaps because he took the initiative to bring up the suspicious aspects of Wang Kangnian's case, which made Araki Harima firm in his judgment that Wang Kangnian was Chen Zhou.

The Wang Kangnian case is the first victory of Araki Harima's clever thinking and amazing brain reasoning. His friend Miyazaki Kentaro easily raised doubts, but it only strengthened Araki Harima's subconscious determination to maintain his own judgment.

The doubts about Cao Yu are only known to Cheng Qianfan and Araki Harima, but the Wang Kangnian case is different. Araki Harima’s amazing logical analysis was praised by Sanben Jiro, and Wang Kangnian has been arrested and interrogated. Wrong, and it's best not to be wrong.

……

On the road diagonally opposite Li Cha Hotel, a car was parked at an unobtrusive corner.

A man dressed as a waiter came to the car and knocked on the window.

The door opened.

The man bent over and got into the car.

"What did you find?" Lu Fei who was waiting in the car asked immediately.

After being frightened away by Sanjian, Lu Fei still didn't give up. He intuitively told him that there was something wrong with the two men who left the Licha Hotel in a hurry, maybe they were two big fish.

So, he bought a waiter through his relationship, and asked him to find a way to enter the check-out Room [-] to investigate.

"Qian Yewen and Xu Zhixin didn't come back after they left, nor did they check out," the waiter said.

"Where's the housing deposit?" Lu Fei was refreshed and asked immediately.

"The room has not been refunded, of course the deposit is still there." The waiter replied, he thought the question asked by the officer was very strange, but he didn't dare to show any abnormality on his face, and answered honestly.

Lu Fei clenched his fists tightly, everything was as he expected, the two left hastily.

"Go into the room and look? Is there anything suspicious?" Lu Fei immediately asked again.

"There is nothing suspicious." The waiter said, he frowned, "I have seen many guests who hurriedly checked out, and they didn't look different."

"Oh?" Lu Fei smiled, "Tell me, what do the rooms of the guests who hurriedly checked out have in common?"

"It's just that the room is a bit messy. There is still water in the cup on the table, the drawer is opened, and something is left in the room." The waiter said.

Lu Fei became even more convinced that there was something wrong with the two men.

Because what the waiter said was about the situation of 'checking out in a hurry', if there is indeed an urgent need to check out in a hurry, it is not surprising that the room is so messy, but the problem is——

The two did not check out at the time!
Later, there was a huge deposit not to be given.

What does this mean? It means that the two suddenly decided to leave.

No, to be precise, these two people seemed to be frightened and fled away——

This is escape!

Why run away?What surprised these two?

The answer is obvious:
At that time, they went to 'invite' Guo Jinyu, which was misunderstood by the two as an arrest, so they panicked and chose to escape.

"Is something left in the room?" Lu Fei asked immediately after noticing what the waiter said.

"Hat," said the waiter.

"Hat?" Lu Fei immediately asked, "What kind of hat?"

"It's a straw hat." The waiter said, after thinking for a while, he added, "It's the kind of straw hat from the post office."

"Do me a favor." Lu Fei took out two silver dollars from his body and put them into the waiter's hand, "Get that hat."

……

French Concession, Petain District.

Huaiyuan Hotel.

"The only hidden danger now is that hat." Sheng Shuyu said in a deep voice.

"It's just an ordinary hat, so it shouldn't be a problem." Zhu Congyu said doubtfully.

The hat was not forgotten in the room, because Gai couldn't hide the straw hat in a hurry, and he couldn't just wear the hat and open the door.

Therefore, Sheng Shuyu ordered Zhu Congyu to throw the hat under the bed.

The Zhongshan straw hat, which is used for joints, is not an uncommon item and does not arouse suspicion.

However, on specific occasions, this hat is very directional.

Of course, the hat is only used to attract Guo Jinyu's attention, just as the bamboo straw hat on Guo Jinyu's head plays the same role.

The real confirmation of the identity of the connector is also the gesture. After the gesture is confirmed, the conversation will be made, and the final confirmation will be completed through code words.

"I hope I'm thinking too much." Sheng Shuyu frowned slightly.

An ordinary straw hat, there is nothing unusual about the straw hat itself, even if it is discovered by the enemy, it should not care.

……

No. 76, Jishi Feier Road.

Agent quarters.

Lu Fei held the hat in his hand, and he looked at it carefully.

This is a very common Zhongshan summer hat.

Straw hats are [-]% new.

It looks like a new purchase, only worn a few times.

"Is there something wrong with this hat?" Tang Wenluo came to visit, and seeing Lu Fei still staring at the hat, he couldn't help asking.

"The hat is fine." Lu Fei shook his head, "It just feels a little weird."

"What's weird?" Tang Wenluo narrowed his eyes and asked.

"I can't tell." Lu Fei shook his head again. He played with the hat with one finger, and asked casually, "Brother Tang, do you like wearing hats?"

"I don't like it." Tang Wenluo shook his head, and he glanced at the Zhongshan straw hat in Lu Fei's hand, "Especially this kind of straw hat, it's inconvenient."

"Yeah, it's inconvenient." Lu Fei nodded, and suddenly, a flash of light flashed in his mind.

He found something that he had always felt was wrong.

Lu Fei handed the straw hat to Tang Wenbao, "Brother Tang, please come in from outside wearing this straw hat, then take off the hat and put it away."

Seeing Lu Fei's excited expression, Tang Wenluo was thoughtful and did not refuse.

……

Tang Wenluo came in from outside wearing a straw hat. He yawned and said, 'It's so hot', then he took off the straw hat and put it on the table.

Then, Tang Wenluo's expression became serious, and he looked at Lu Fei, "Brother Lu, you just said that this straw hat was found under the bed?"

"Yes, not only found under the bed, but also in the corner." Lu Fei said.

Tang Wenlao looked at the straw hat on the table and fell into thought.

"I'll do an experiment." He said to Lu Fei.

He pretended to touch the straw hat by accident, and the straw hat fell to the ground, but it just rolled around twice and then stopped moving.

Lu Fei stepped forward, he put the straw hat on the ground, kicked it straight up, and the straw hat slipped away.

The two looked at each other, and their eyes were full of excitement.

The corner under the bed could not have been accidentally touched, dropped, and rolled in by the straw hat.

There is only one possibility, it was kicked under the bed.

Although it cannot be ruled out that someone accidentally kicked the straw hat under the bed, this possibility is too small.

Most likely the straw hat was kicked under the bed on purpose.

So, here comes the question, why is the straw hat kicked and hidden under the bed?
What's so special about this ordinary Zhongshan straw hat?
"You said before that those two people left in a hurry." Tang Wenluo said, "You said they misunderstood that you went to the Licha Hotel to arrest them?"

Lu Fei nodded.

"No, no." Tang Wenluo shook his head, "I remember you saying, you saw those two people leaving in a hurry in the corridor, what does that mean? It means that these two people have seen that you are going to arrest Guo Jinyu. "

Lu Fei understood what Tang Wenluo meant, and he immediately said, "In this way, these two people will know that I am not targeting them, and there is no need for them to flee in a hurry."

"The question now is, why did they escape?" Tang Wenluo said.

The two looked at each other, and finally looked at the Zhongshan straw hat on the ground in unison.

"Guo Jinyu! They are meeting!"

"Guo Jinyu also wore a straw hat!"

The two uttered their voices in unison, their eyes glowing with excitement.
