My years of espionage

Chapter 1493 Is there something wrong with Zhang Xiaolin? !
Sakamoto Ryouno's evaluation of Heishige Yoichi is "rude, vulgar, arrogant, simple-minded and strong-limbed."

Therefore, a typical Japanese military officer's appearance has appeared in Cheng Qianfan's mind:
He has a fierce look, is vicious, cruel, and arrogant.

They treat Chinese people with contempt and disrespect.

Then, he saw Ping Zhongyangyi, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, sitting politely on a chair. He had a handsome appearance and a gentle smile on his face, which was completely inconsistent with what Sakamoto Ryouno said.

"Your Excellency, Counselor." Cheng Qianfan placed the gift box of pastries on the coffee table and bowed to Imamura Heitaro.

"Chiho is here." Imamura Heitaro nodded slightly, "Please sit down."

"Hi." Cheng Qianfan sat down, but he only sat half way down with his back straight.

Ping Chongyang looked over with interest. The person who came was obviously a Chinese, but judging from Counselor Imamura's attitude, he was quite friendly.

Seeing Ping Chongyang's gaze, Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly in response.

"Yang Yi, this is Cheng Qianfan, the deputy chief inspector of the French Concession Police Station and the Central Police Station." Imamura Heitaro said to Ping Zhongyang Yi, "He is a young man who is very friendly to the empire and whom I admire very much."

Then, he introduced Cheng Qianfan, "Qianfan, this is Ping Chongyangyi, an outstanding young man of the empire."

"It turns out to be Mr. Pingzhong." Cheng Qianfan quickly stood up and greeted him.

"Mr. Cheng." Ping Chongyang also nodded, but did not stand up.

Arrogant and rude indeed.

Cheng Qianfan glanced at Ping Chongyang.

Imamura Heitaro smiled slightly.

Kentaro's identity is secret. Ping Chongyangyi is a staunch member of the military's elimination faction. The so-called elimination faction means killing all Chinese and erasing all traces of Chinese presence on this land. Therefore, Ping Chongyangyi's attitude towards the Chinese can be seen. The fact that he was able to nod in response to Kentaro was already because of his attitude and face.

Heitaro Imamura had no intention of telling Shigekiichi Heishi about Kentaro Miyazaki's identity. He wanted to see how his outstanding student would get along with Shigekiichi Heishi.

Cheng Qianfan sat upright, listening to the conversation between Imamura Heitaro and Ping Chongyang.

"Shanghai is a prosperous place in the Far East. Yang Yi has worked hard in the army, so it's a good opportunity for him to stay in Shanghai for a few days to recuperate." said Heitaro Imamura.

"Yes."

"You and Yoshino are classmates. You must have a lot to talk about after not seeing each other for many years." Imamura Heitaro said with a smile, "Let Yoshino show his hospitality."

Ping Chongyang smiled and said, "Yangyi was naughty when he was young and often fought with Sakamoto-kun. He must be thinking about how to deal with me now."

Imamura Heitaro laughed out loud, "What an enviable young man."

"Then Yang Yi won't disturb your uncle's work." Ping Chongyang stood up and said goodbye.

"Go ahead, you young people should be more close." Imamura Heitaro nodded slightly.

Ping Chongyang nodded slightly, turned and left, as if he had no intention of paying attention to Cheng Qianfan. Seeing Cheng Qianfan politely standing up to see him off, he finally nodded in response, but his arrogant attitude was evident.

……

After Ping Chongyang left, Cheng Qianfan walked over and closed the office door, with a smile on his face when he turned around.

"What are you laughing at?" asked Imamura Heitaro.

"Mr. Sakamoto said that Mr. Pingzhong was rude and arrogant, and he didn't want to entertain him, so he asked me to entertain him on his behalf." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "I'm afraid Mr. Sakamoto will be disappointed."

"Yoichi doesn't know your true identity, and he has always treated the Chinese like this." Imamura Heitaro said, glancing at his student, "It's a pity that you have to suffer."

"The students are used to it." Cheng Qianfan said with a wry smile.

As he spoke, he picked up the gift box of pastries on the coffee table, "Shen Dacheng's rice cake, freshly baked, I don't know if it's cold yet."

Imamura Heitaro nodded slightly and jokingly said, "Kentaro, you came with a valuable gift, but is there something wrong?"

Then he saw that Miyazaki Kentaro's expression turned serious and he was also surprised. He was just joking, but looking at his student's expression, it seemed that there was really something wrong.

"Teacher, I do have something to ask you for advice and help." Cheng Qianfan said respectfully.

"Oh?" Imamura Heitaro caught the word "help" in his student's words.

He motioned for Miyazaki Kentaro to sit down and said, "Tell me slowly. I'll take care of everything."

……

Cheng Qianfan reported today's events in detail to Heitaro Imamura.

"You mean, you suspect Zhang Xiaolin is the mastermind behind the bomb attack?" Imamura Heitaro asked in a deep voice with an angry look on his face.

"After preliminary investigation, Fei Xianda is indeed Zhang Xiaolin's man." Cheng Qianfan nodded and said, "However, this man flatly denied that the car explosion had anything to do with him, and..."

There was anger and embarrassment in his eyes.

"Go ahead," Imamura Heitaro said, "Is there anything you can't say in front of me?"

"There was another person with Fei Xianda at the time. This person had a bad attitude and claimed to be an imperial agent." Cheng Qianfan said, his expression revealed anger and confusion, but also a bit of pleasure.

Looking at Imamura Heitaro, Cheng Qianfan continued, "The student was so angry that he shot and killed the man."

"Did he really fire the gun in a rage?" Imamura Heitaro stared into his student's eyes, examining him.

"Teacher has a keen eye. Kentaro dare not lie." Cheng Qianfan said, "After hearing that there are imperial agents involved, the students are even more angry and confused. At the same time..."

He looked at Imamura Heitaro, with resentment and grievance in his eyes, "This person revealed his identity in public, and the student was furious and decided to deal with him immediately."

"Teacher, that Jixiang Lin must die." Cheng Qianfan paused and continued, "It's better for him to die."

When saying this, Cheng Qianfan's expression was conflicted and unwilling.

Heitaro Imamura looked at Kentaro Miyazaki deeply. He understood why his student was like this, and also understood his anger and unwillingness.

Because this matter involves the internal affairs of the empire, it would be fine if the other party did not know Kentaro's identity. But if they knew Kentaro's identity and wanted to harm him, this would be an absolute scandal.

In a sense, Kentaro killed this man to cover up for the mastermind behind the crime, after all, there is no evidence.

……

"You are considering the overall situation." Heitaro Imamura snorted and looked at Kentaro Miyazaki meaningfully.

"I was indeed irritated." Cheng Qianfan answered honestly, "I thought that if we investigate later and confirm the identity of this person, we won't be able to kill him even if we want to."

Heitaro Imamura smiled. This was the Kentaro he knew.

Kentaro may also have the idea of ​​considering the overall situation, but for Kentaro whose life is threatened, revenge is the main reason to vent his inner anger.

"Teacher, I am actually conflicted and regretful." Cheng Qianfan said, "Looking back now, I am still thinking that if I hadn't killed Jixiang Lin, I could have found out the mastermind behind the scenes through him..."

He glanced at Imamura Heitaro, whose brows were furrowed, and shook his head, saying, "But, after thinking about it carefully, it's better for that person to die."

"Well, Jixianglin is dead, and it's right for him to die." Imamura Heitaro said in a deep voice, "As for who is behind this person, I will arrange an investigation into this matter."

"It was Kentaro who caused trouble for the teacher." Cheng Qianfan said.

Imamura Heitaro pointed his finger at Miyazaki Kentaro and said, "Stop playing tricks on me, teacher."

Cheng Qianfan showed a slightly exaggerated expression and said shyly, "Is the student's acting so poor? The teacher actually saw through it?"

"It's not clumsy, it's exaggerated." Heitaro Imamura said unhappily.

His student, in a rage, killed the imperial agent who called himself Jixianglin. He was afraid and worried about the threat posed by the person behind Jixianglin, so he had no choice but to come to him for help. However, he had too many thoughts and was embarrassed to say it directly, so he beat around the bush. But his acting was really exaggerated.

"When I suddenly encountered something like this, I was terrified and my first reaction was to ask the teacher for help, but then I thought about how I always caused trouble for the teacher." Cheng Qianfan walked forward and refilled Imamura Heitaro's teacup with water, and said softly, "It's such a contradiction. I'm afraid of death, but I feel embarrassed at the same time."

He picked up the teacup and offered it with both hands, his eyes slightly reddened, "I just thought about it and realized that in this world, the only one who is willing to help me selflessly and truly loves me is you, teacher."

Heitaro Imamura looks at Kentaro Miyazaki.

"The teacher treats me like his own son, and I regard the teacher as my own father." Cheng Qianfan's nose was blocked and he sobbed a little. "I just thought that my son was bullied and asked his old father to help him. This, this should not be shameful, right?"

"You shameless boy," Imamura Heitaro scolded, "You cry over the smallest of things."

Then he took the teacup with both hands, took a sip, snorted, and said, "Teacher is hungry."

"Hai." Cheng Qianfan raised his head, an extremely happy expression on his face. He ran over to pick up the rice cake he brought, wiped his tears with his hand, and said to Imamura Heitaro with a sunny smile as if he was presenting a treasure, "The teacher said last time that he liked the smell of roses, so I personally told them to add rose powder this time."

"Flattery." Heitaro Imamura took the rice cake and took a bite.

After being scolded, Cheng Qianfan laughed even more happily, and he quickly brought over some tea.

……

"Tell me, what do you think about this matter?" Imamura Heitaro asked after taking two bites of the rice cake.

"Although the confession from the police station has not yet come out, I still tend to believe that Zhang Xiaolin was the mastermind behind this." Cheng Qianfan said, "In addition, it doesn't seem strange that there are imperial agents involved."

He said to Imamura Heitaro, "Zhang Xiaolin was warned not to attack me, and I was also restrained not to take any action against Zhang Xiaolin. From now on, both of us will restrain ourselves."

"So, this time Zhang Xiaolin wanted to blow you up, and you suspected that he had the tacit approval or even support of certain people." Imamura Heitaro nodded slightly and said.

"Although it's just speculation, I really can't think of any other more reasonable inferences besides this possibility," said Cheng Qianfan.

"You just said that before the explosion, gunshots were heard at the dock." Heitaro Imamura pondered for a moment and suddenly asked.

"Yes, Ishizaka Ryotaro from the Military Police was the one who brought people here from the dock." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "Later I asked someone to investigate and found out that it was the Military Police who shot and arrested people at the dock."

He was peeling an apple quickly, the skin of the apple was long and thin, and he continued, "My men reported that two people were beaten to death by the military police at the dock. They were said to be from Chongqing. There should be others who escaped during the chaos."

After thinking for a while, Cheng Qianfan added, "It should be that the explosion at Jucai Building caused chaos at the dock, which gave the Chongqing elements a chance to escape."

At this point Cheng Qianfan suddenly paused, with a strange expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" Imamura Heitaro glanced at his student.

"It just suddenly occurred to me..." Cheng Qianfan looked at Imamura Heitaro with a smile that was mixed with a hint of ridicule and resentment, as well as a hint of satisfaction. He said, "If Naito-kun were still alive, he would definitely request an investigation of me. He would say that this was not a coincidence and that the escape of the Chongqing elements was related to me."

"How can you still laugh?" Imamura Heitaro glared at Miyazaki Kentaro, "Do you think the military police will think these two things are just coincidences?"

"Because I know it's a coincidence." Cheng Qianfan had a helpless expression, "I have nothing to hide, so I'm not afraid of investigation."

As he spoke, Cheng Qianfan skillfully cut the peeled apple into small pieces with a fruit knife, then placed the small plate in front of Imamura Heitaro, and skillfully opened a drawer on the far right and took out a small fork.

Suddenly, his eyes turned, "Teacher, do you think the failure of the arrest at the dock is really related to the explosion?"

……

Imamura Heitaro immediately understood what Miyasaki Kentaro meant. Kentaro was not saying that the incident at the dock had anything to do with him, but was hinting that it was related to Zhang Xiaolin:

The Chongqing elements at the dock did take advantage of the explosion to escape. For this reason alone, the explosion deserves further investigation.

Zhang Xiaolin, who was suspected of using a bomb to attack Kentaro, is naturally worthy of suspicion.

"Although Zhang Xiaolin has many ambitions and interests, he is not loyal to the empire." Imamura Heitaro pondered and said, "However, if we say that he is in collusion with Chongqing, it is true..."

Having said this, Imamura Heitaro suddenly shut his mouth.

According to the intelligence held by Imamura Mansion, Chongqing has never given up on winning over Zhang Xiaolin.

It seems impossible, but also not surprising, to say that Zhang Xiaolin, at the request of Chongqing, secretly rescued people from Chongqing for some reason.

"Evidence." Imamura Heitaro said with a serious expression, "Zhang Xiaolin is no different from others. He is extremely important to the stability of Shanghai for the empire."

"There is no way there is evidence for this kind of thing." Cheng Qianfan shook his head and said, "Zhang Xiaolin is an old fox. He won't leave any evidence or handle behind."

Heitaro Imamura glanced at his student. Kentaro was indeed good at taking advantage of every opportunity. This clever boy deliberately revealed in his words that he seemed to believe that Zhang Xiaolin had connections with Chongqing and secretly rescued the Chongqing elements. This was a little trick to give him a psychological hint.

However, Heitaro Imamura was not angry. This kind of Kentaro was exactly the Kentaro he knew.

Even though Kentaro has all kinds of minor flaws, he likes him more and more.

"Didn't you say you were arranging for someone to interrogate Fei Xianda?" Imamura Heitaro said, "This man's confession is very important."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Qianfan was delighted at first, then shook his head, "I don't think Fei Xianda knows too much. He is just a knife at best."

He said to Imamura Heitaro, "An old fox like Zhang Xiaolin would never reveal such a flaw."

Cheng Qianfan also took a fork and picked up a piece of apple to eat. He chewed the apple and said, "Even if Fei Xianda really knows something, Zhang Xiaolin..."

Suddenly, Cheng Qianfan froze, and stopped chewing the apple. Then he coughed, and he was choked by the apple pulp...
