My years of espionage

Chapter 1491 Great idea!

Seeing Zhang Xiaolin's expectant and proud look, Sui Erliang hesitated for a moment and felt that it was still necessary to remind Zhang Xiaolin.

"Master, you still have to be cautious." Sui Erliang said, "Cheng Qianfan is the person that San Benjiro specifically asked to protect. He has a good relationship with Captain Araki of the Special High Section."

"Moreover." Sui Erliang glanced at Zhang Xiaolin's expression, "And we also found out before that Cheng Qianfan often goes in and out of the Imamura Mansion. It is said that Counselor Imamura also admires Cheng Qianfan."

He said to Zhang Xiaolin, "Master, you asked me to find out about Imamura Heitaro last time. He is a famous young diplomat in Japan. It is said that he has an uncle who is a Japanese general."

Sui Erliang said worriedly, "Master, you should think twice."

“No, no, no.” Zhang Xiaolin shook his finger. “Erliang, you don’t understand the Japanese.”

"If you understand the Japanese, you will understand." He smiled contemptuously and said, "The Japanese are born in the year of the dog. They may be very nice to you one second, but they can turn their backs on you the next second."

Zhang Xiaolin said, "If Cheng Qianfan really offends the Japanese, Japan will immediately turn against them, and Cheng Qianfan's protectors will cut ties with him and take action against him faster than others."

……

"Master, Cheng Qianfan is doing business with the Japanese." Sui Erliang continued to remind and persuade, "Master, you also said that the most solid friendship is the one that can help people make money."

"Erliang, you are too narrow-minded." Zhang Xiaolin shook his head slightly, "Making money is just a side job after all. The benefits and help I can bring to the Japanese are far beyond what Cheng Qianfan can compare to."

He leaned back on the sofa, and Sui Erliang immediately came over to help him light a cigarette.

Zhang Xiaolin took a puff of his cigarette and sneered, "In fact, even if San Benjiro said so, I really want to kill Cheng Qianfan. Even if San Benjiro is angry, he can't do much to me. However, it's not worth it to ruin the relationship with someone like San Benjiro for Cheng Qianfan."

"Opportunity." Zhang Xiaolin said, "Cheng Qianfan has a conflict with the Japanese. This is the opportunity. This opportunity is that at this moment I will take action against Cheng Qianfan and kill this jerk. Even if the Japanese are dissatisfied, they will have a way out and an excuse."

Sui Erliang thought about it for a moment and then he understood what Zhang Xiaolin meant.

"Master, that's a good point." Sui Erliang gave a thumbs up and said with a compliment from the bottom of his heart, "It's Erliang who is shallow."

Zhang Xiaolin smiled proudly and waved his hand, "Go ahead, don't miss the opportunity, check it out."

"clear."

……

In the office of the Second Security Section of the Shanghai Military Police Headquarters, Ryotaro Ishizaka hung his head, his cheeks swollen from being beaten.

"Bag duck drop!" Hiromi Kubota was still not satisfied and slapped Ryotaro Ishizaka hard in the face again.

"Hai." Ishizaka Ryotaro stood respectfully.

"Do you know why I'm angry?" Kubota Hiromi looked at Ishizaka Ryotaro coldly.

"Because of the subordinates' poor performance, the target person escaped." said Ryotaro Ishizaka.

There are rumors that the Chief of the Security Office, Tsuchida Minetarou, might be promoted to the General Staff of the Kwantung Army in Manchuria, thus leaving the position of Chief of the Security Office vacant.

Currently, the head of the Security Room's Second Section, Hiromi Kubota, and the head of the First Section, Atsushi Mizuguchi, are the strongest contenders for the position of head of the room.

Kubota Hiromi and Mizuguchi Atsushi are currently working hard to perform well in order to win the favor and recognition of Commander Ikeuchi.

This search for important figures of the Military Control Commission who came to Shanghai from Nanjing became the stage for Kubota Hiromi and Mizuguchi Atsushi to perform.

Ryotaro Ishizaka knew that he had clearly discovered a suspicious target, but this person escaped. The bad impact of this incident was even worse than not discovering the suspicious target.

This will directly affect the perception and rating of Section Chief Hiromi Kubota in the mind of the head of the department, Minetarou Tsuchida.

As the current chief of the Security Room, Tsuchida Minetarou has the right to recommend his successor, and Commander Ikeuchi will naturally give serious consideration to the candidate recommended by Tsuchida Minetarou.

For Chief Tsuchida Minetarou, if he could successfully capture an important member of the Military Control Commission before being transferred to Manchuria, he would naturally be very happy and add another medal of military honor to his work experience in Shanghai.

And now, the target person has successfully escaped from Ryotaro Ishizaka's encirclement. Not only is Kubota Hiromi dissatisfied, but Tsuchida Minetaro is also naturally very dissatisfied.

"Bag duck fall." Kubota Hiromi stared at Ishizaka Ryotaro fiercely, "You idiot, the target escaped from your hands, I am not surprised at all now!"

"Huh!" Ishizaka Ryotaro's face turned red. "I am stupid and have disappointed the chief."

"Idiot!" Kubota Hiromi cursed, "According to what you said, the sudden explosion caused chaos at the scene, and in this case, the target was able to escape. This also shows that you are an idiot, but--"

"This only proves that our enemies are very cunning and well prepared." Kubota Hiroshi was so angry that he slapped Ishizaka Ryotaro again. "So, although it is infuriating that the target escaped, it is not an unforgivable sin."

……

"Now, do you know where you went wrong?" Hiromi Kubota asked Ryotaro Ishizaka coldly.

"I was forced to evacuate by Cheng Qianfan's men." Ishizaka Ryotaro didn't understand why the section chief was angry. He looked embarrassed and said through gritted teeth, "I have brought shame to the locust army of the Empire of Japan."

"The locust army of the Empire of Japan was actually intimidated by the police and gave up taking important prisoners. They fled the French Concession in panic." Kubota Hiromi looked at Ishizaka Ryotaro with anger, "Do you know how the newspapers in Shanghai will report this tomorrow?"

As he said this, Kubota Hiromi raised his hand and slapped him. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

This time, Ryotaro Ishizaka did not accept the beating obediently. He subconsciously turned his head to avoid the slap from Hiromichi Kubota.

You dare to hide?
Kubota Hiromi was furious.

"Section Chief." Ishizaka Ryotaro begged for mercy. He smiled bitterly and covered his face. "If you continue to hit me, my sister will be sad and angry when she sees me."

Kubota Hiromi glared at Ishizaka Ryotaro fiercely. Ishizaka Ryotaro's sister was his wife.

"Chief, I will order a close eye on the newspapers. Anyone who slanders the Empire or the Locust Army will be severely punished by the Empire," said Ryotaro Ishizaka.

"You don't understand." Kubota Hiromi glared at Ishizaka Ryotaro. This matter could not be remedied by simply blocking public opinion with high pressure.

The most important thing is the adverse impact of this incident, which to some extent means, or sends a signal to the outside world:
The French Concession authorities' tougher attitude towards the empire would give hope and motivation to the rebels who relied on the French Concession to take hostile actions against the empire.

In addition, even Cheng Qianfan, who has always been close to the empire, has a tough attitude towards the empire and even almost created a small-scale battle conflict. This will also be seen as a signal of a tough attitude in the eyes of some people:
Cheng Qianfan's tough attitude as a "pro-Japanese" person would be deliberately exaggerated and misinterpreted by those with ulterior motives.

……

Ok?
Kubota Hiromi suddenly frowned, something was wrong, Cheng Qianfan had always been very close to the Empire. According to the information he knew, this 'Little General Cheng' had a good relationship with Araki Harima of the Special High Section, and was also a good friend of Major Atsuto Kawada of the Military Police Headquarters.

Even Cheng Qianfan often went in and out of the Imamura mansion.

This guy is also a junior of Chu Mingyu of Wang Tianhai's regime, and is said to be highly appreciated and respected by Chu Mingyu.

A person like Cheng Qianfan should not have such an attitude in any way.

This is not reasonable.

However, after a little thought, Kubota Hiromi felt that it was quite reasonable.

Cheng Qianfan is a person who values ​​his life very much.

The sudden bomb attack and the near-death experience must have completely enraged Cheng Qianfan.

Is this caused by anger?

He looked at Ishizaka Ryotaro and asked thoughtfully, "Cheng Qianfan was attacked by a bomb. What do you think about this?"

"Cheng Qianfan insisted that it was Zhang Xiaolin who arranged for Fei Xianda to do this, intending to kill him with a bomb." Ishizaka Ryotaro said, "From Cheng Qianfan's angry expression, he was very sure that it was Zhang Xiaolin who arranged for someone to attack him."

"You are arresting important targets of the Military Control Commission." Kubota Hiromi said calmly, "Cheng Qianfan was hit by a bomb."

He looked at Ishizaka Ryotaro, "Do you believe in this kind of coincidence?"

……

The next day, early in the morning.

"You are too impulsive." Old Huang stood up and poured a glass of rice wine for Comrade 'Huo Miao'.

"You pretended to be extremely angry and shot the Japanese to death," he said. "This was handled very well. It was very consistent with your arrogant character when you were angry."

Old Huang took a sip of rice wine and pinched a piece of pork head, his mouth full of fragrance. "This is also in line with Miyazaki Kentaro's identity. After all, in the eyes of the Japanese, you are one of their own in your bones. When you are angry, your mind subconsciously does not care about killing a Japanese who intends to harm you."

"That's what I thought at the time." Cheng Qianfan nodded.

It can even be said that if Jixianglin was not a Japanese, he might not have chosen to shoot. It was precisely because Jixianglin was a Japanese that he immediately decided to shoot.

Killing this Japanese man is an approach that can be interpreted and recognized (understood) in various ways, whether for him, the police station, or Miyazaki Kentaro's identity and character.

Even when standing in front of Mitsumoto Jiro, even when facing interrogation from the gendarmerie headquarters afterwards, he could explain himself smoothly.

"The Japanese military police were arresting people at the dock, and you were hit by a bomb. This is too coincidental. It will inevitably attract Japanese investigation and suspicion." Old Huang ate a mouthful of peanuts and said, "Under such circumstances, you dared to shoot and kill the Japanese. This will actually reduce the Japanese's suspicion of you to some extent."

"I thought so too." Cheng Qianfan said, with a slightly proud tone.

He was indeed somewhat complacent. It was not easy to think of so many things in a split second and act decisively.

For someone like him, this feeling of dancing on the edge of a knife, and coming up with more and more tricks, is a stimulating enjoyment under the psychological pressure.

……

"But your subsequent attitude towards the Japanese gendarmerie, especially your order to the police station to force the Japanese gendarmerie," Lao Huang said, "in my opinion, was a bit too much."

Old Huang frowned and said, "This does not fit your identity as a pro-Japanese person and your political attitude towards the Wang Tianhai regime."

He took the cigarette handed over by Cheng Qianfan, lit it with a match, took a deep puff and said, "Not to mention, as Kentaro Miyazaki, you should not do such a thing that would make the Japanese army lose its dignity and face."

"I understand what you mean." Cheng Qianfan also lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said, "But I'm not going too far. I've considered it carefully."

He looked at Lao Huang and said, "I was so angry that I shot and killed him even though I heard Jixianglin say he was Japanese."

After flicking the ash off his cigarette, Cheng Qianfan continued, "After the emotional excitement, there will definitely be a time when you will regain clarity and rationality."

He asked Lao Huang, as if talking to himself, "If it were you, what would you be thinking at that time? Assume that everything has nothing to do with you, and you are the victim of the bomb attack."

Then, Cheng Qianfan added, "San Benjiro is a suspicious person."

"I will be scared." Old Huang understood the meaning of Comrade Huo Miao's last words. "Even if Jixianglin is really related to the bomb attack, he is a Japanese after all. You can arrest him and interrogate him, but you can't just kill him directly."

Old Huang took a long drag on his cigarette and said, "We have killed a 'compatriot' who may have been a spy. No matter how you put it, the impact of this incident is very bad. The first thing I am thinking about now is how to remedy the situation and how to deal with the interrogation by the Special High Section and the Military Police."

He looked at Cheng Qianfan, drank a sip of rice wine, smacked his lips, and suddenly smiled, "I understand."

As he said that, he gave Cheng Qianfan a thumbs up and said, "You are smart. I am not as good as you."

"Now, this matter still needs some patches." Cheng Qianfan said, and then he drank the wine in the glass, stood up and patted his butt, "The most important patches--"

"You must call Atsuto Kawada immediately." said Lao Huang.

Cheng Qianfan was slightly stunned. He had been thinking of going to the Special High Section to report the matter to San Jiro.

"Kawada Atsuto." Cheng Qianfan frowned and said thoughtfully, "I was originally planning to meet San Benjiro, but what you said makes sense."

Old Huang didn't say anything. At this moment, he would not say any more. Comrade Huo Miao had to make the decision himself after careful consideration.

"I changed my mind." Cheng Qianfan said, "I'm going to meet Imamura Heitaro now."

Old Huang was also stunned for a moment. After a brief thought, he nodded, "That's the best."
