My years of espionage

Chapter 1496 Qian Bei Returns to Shanghai
"It's a pity that Fei Xianda is dead." Cheng Qianfan said in annoyance, "There are still many details that have not been clarified."

"Oh?" Imamura Heitaro said with great interest, "Tell me about it."

"For example, how did Fei Xianda know that I would go to Jucai Building at that time on that day?" Cheng Qianfan said, "Now there is reason to suspect that the bomb is a time bomb, which means that they were sure that I would go to Jucai Building, and then they immediately set the bomb on time, and then immediately drove the car to Jucai Building and parked it next to my car."

Cheng Qianfan said with a gloomy face, "If I hadn't been delayed for a while at Jucai Restaurant that day, according to the normal dining time, I would have left the restaurant and walked towards the car, just when the bomb exploded."

"Kentaro, you must have been monitored." Imamura Heitaro thought, "They secretly monitored you and kept track of your whereabouts. They determined that you went to the Jucai Building, and then they planted the bomb and carried out the operation."

"It's still not right." Cheng Qianfan frowned and thought, then shook his head, "Teacher, there's one thing I can't figure out. According to the confession, Fei Xianda said that Jixianglin wanted to eat Suzhou cuisine, so Fei Xianda recommended Jucailou, and the two of them made an appointment to dine at Jucailou."

"I understand what you mean." Imamura Heitaro said in a deep voice, "In other words, they had already determined in advance that you would go to Jucailou that day."

"Yes, teacher." Cheng Qianfan said, "This is what I am most confused about right now. I went to Jucai Building to eat on a whim. It was not planned in advance..."

Having said that, Cheng Qianfan shut up and frowned in thought.

……

"But what did you think of?" asked Heitaro Imamura.

"The food at Jucailou Restaurant is pretty good and it's been very popular recently. I've heard about it a long time ago." Cheng Qianfan said, "I did express my intention to try the food there."

"When did it happen, and who knew about it?"

"Just a few days ago, when I was in the police station, my men were chatting and mentioned that Jucailou was doing good business and that it served authentic Suzhou cuisine." Cheng Qianfan said, "After I heard it, I casually said that if it was really as good as they said, I would go and taste it."

Speaking of this, Cheng Qianfan's expression became gloomy and his eyes became vicious.

He said to Imamura Heitaro, "Teacher, it must be Zhang Xiaolin."

"With Zhang Xiaolin's ability, it's not a problem for him to plant one or two spies in the police station, or bribe a traitor." Cheng Qianfan gritted his teeth and said, "So many people heard what I said, so they were prepared for me to go to Jucailou for dinner one day."

"So, what you mean is that they are just sitting back and waiting for something to happen." Imamura Heitaro said thoughtfully.

"That should be the case." Cheng Qianfan nodded. He picked up the pencil on Imamura Heitaro's desk and started writing and drawing on a blank piece of paper.

"Yesterday I arranged for my men at the police station to call Jucai Restaurant to reserve a table, and then I set out from the police station to pick up my friend."

"It was at that time that the spy in the police station reported to the other party that I was going to Jucai Building, and they began to make preparations."

……

Cheng Qianfan drew a route map on paper.

"Teacher, look, I started from No. 22 Xuehuali Road, went to Lafeide Road first, stayed there for about five minutes, and then went to Jucai Building. The time in between was about three quarters of an hour."

"During this period of time, the other party has plenty of time to prepare."

Heitaro Imamura glanced at the document and nodded slightly. Logically speaking, his student's guess was reasonable.

"I have a question." Imamura Heitaro seemed to be very interested in this kind of criminal investigation reasoning. He thought for a moment and said, "You said that the other party roughly calculated your meal time and set a time bomb. This is feasible in theory, but it is difficult to grasp the accuracy in practice."

"What the teacher said makes sense." After listening to what Imamura Heitaro said, Cheng Qianfan fell into deep thought.

"I left Jucai Building, got in the car, and then left. The time I stayed in the car was at most one or two minutes." He thought and said, "The other party obviously couldn't accurately grasp it."

"If I get in the car and leave, and the bomb hasn't exploded yet..."

Cheng Qianfan held the pencil in his hand and fell into deep thought, "I understand."

"If I dine for too long, like yesterday, it's out of their control, so the bomb explodes prematurely and doesn't hurt me." Cheng Qianfan said, "But if I leave the restaurant earlier, they can find a way to delay my departure."

He paced back and forth, thinking, "There are many ways to do this, such as creating some accidents, friction, quarrels, just delaying me for a while..."

At this point, his face changed. "The student is so stupid that he didn't even think of this. Otherwise, if we searched the scene at that time, we would definitely be able to catch the suspicious person arranged by the other party."

Cheng Qianfan stopped pacing and looked at Imamura Heitaro with an expression of admiration and a little shame, "The teacher said he didn't understand criminal investigation, and the student claimed to be professional, but he is far inferior to the teacher."

"It's just post-analysis and reasoning." Imamura Heitaro waved his hand. "If I were there, I wouldn't have done any better than you."

"Teacher, don't be modest. This is talent." Cheng Qianfan exclaimed, "Teacher is wise."

He sighed for a moment, then said seriously, "The students still have to go to the Special Higher Section to report to Section Chief Sanben about what happened yesterday."

"Go ahead." Imamura Heitaro nodded slightly and pointed at the confession on the table. "Leave this confession here. Make another copy and bring it to Sanben-kun."

“Students understand.”

……

After leaving Heitaro Imamura's office, Cheng Qianfan's expression was still gloomy, and he was secretly alert in his heart.

Although the conversation with Heitaro Imamura just now was always within the rhythm he had set.

Although he was the one who planned the explosion and it was just the thief crying "stop thief", Cheng Qianfan was still alerted by the investigation and reasoning ability demonstrated by Imamura Heitaro in the process.

This teacher of mine is no simple person.

He came to the door of Sakamoto Ryouno's office and knocked.

"Mr. Cheng, Mr. Sakamoto is out." A staff member of the Consulate General walked by and said.

"Okay, thank you." Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly to express his gratitude.

Seeing Brother Fan coming out of the consulate general, Hou Pingliang dropped the cigarette in his hand and quickly got out of the car to greet him.

Several bodyguards immediately surrounded him to provide protection.

"Brother Fan, where are you going?" Hou Pingliang asked.

"Give me the car, and you go back to the police station first." Cheng Qianfan said.

"Brother Fan, you are alone..." Hou Pingliang was worried.

"go back."

"Yes!"

Cheng Qianfan got directly into the driver's seat, started the car, and drove away.

Watching Brother Fan driving away, Hou Pingliang's eyes flickered.

"Brother Monkey, then we..."

"Go back to the police station."

"Yes!"

In the counselor's office on the second floor of the consulate general, Heitaro Imamura was drawing the blinds with his right hand. When he saw Kentaro Miyazaki driving away alone, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

……

Cheng Qianfan held a cigarette in his mouth, flicked the lighter with a click, and lit the cigarette.

He took a light puff.

After having just suffered a bomb assassination yesterday, he, who always cherished his life, chose to drive away alone. This was indeed unreasonable. As cautious as Cheng Qianfan was, he naturally knew this.

However, he had no choice.

He must meet Song Fuguo as soon as possible. Song Fuguo came to Shanghai secretly, but the gendarmerie was lurking at the dock to arrest him. This was an extremely bad incident.

Which line has the problem?

Is it Nanjing?
Or Zhejiang?

Or Shanghai.

Suddenly, Cheng Qianfan thought of the "ruler" lurking within the Military Control Commission!
With a squeak, Cheng Qianfan stepped on the brakes and the vehicle stopped suddenly.

He took two deep puffs of his cigarette, then rolled down the window and threw the cigarette butt out.

The vehicle then continued to move forward, and when passing the intersection ahead, Cheng Qianfan turned the steering wheel and turned to the right.

After turning left for a while, you will arrive at Yingchun Hotel where Song Fuguo is currently staying.

His original intention was to take this brief time to meet Song Fuguo at Yingchun Hotel, and then hurry to the Special High Section to create a time difference.

However, he changed his mind.

Since the Japanese set an ambush at the dock to capture Song Fuguo, this shows that the gendarmerie had accurate intelligence.

The gendarmerie will not give up until they succeed in arresting anyone.

Anyone involved in yesterday's arrest will come into the gendarmerie's sight.

This also included him, who was involved in a bomb attack and thus had a feud with the gendarmerie.

Cheng Qianfan couldn't rule out the possibility that he was under surveillance by the gendarmerie. After thinking it over again and again, he decided not to take the risk.

The time difference he created seemed safe, but in fact it fell into the enemy's calculations.

About twenty minutes later, Cheng Qianfan drove to the Special High Section’s base.

Just as his car drove into the yard of the Special Higher Police, a postman on a rickshaw sped past the road in front of the yard.

The postman continued riding for some distance without slowing down and finally arrived at a telegraph office.

"Yes, Cheng Qianfan left the consulate and went straight to the Special Higher Section."

"Okay, I understand."

……

"Mr. Miyazaki." Koike just came downstairs and saw Miyazaki Kentaro getting out of the car, and took the initiative to greet him.

The Special High Section personnel around him nodded in a friendly manner when they saw Kazuo Miyazaki. Although some people might not approve of this 'Mr. Cheng' with a Japanese name, everyone still felt friendly towards the vouchers of 'Jiujiu Trading'.

"Is the section chief here?" Cheng Qianfan handed a cigarette to Xiaochi and asked.

"Yes." Xiaochi talked with Miyazaki Kentaro as they walked. "No one was hurt in the explosion at Jucai Building yesterday, right?"

"I'm lucky. If I had come out a few minutes earlier, Xiaochi-kun wouldn't have seen me today." Cheng Qianfan showed a lingering fear.

"Can't find out who did it?"

"Zhang Xiaolin." Cheng Qianfan said gritting his teeth.

"How dare he? Didn't the section chief warn him repeatedly?" Koike asked in shock.

"Maybe he feels he has grown too powerful and doesn't take the section chief's warning seriously." Cheng Qianfan said with a sneer.

"If you need my help, just let me know." Xiao Chi said, flicking the ash off his cigarette.

Cheng Qianfan nodded, a look of gratitude on his face.

"Chihohara returned from Qingdao yesterday." Koike said in a low voice, "He is in the section chief's office now."

"Thank you." Cheng Qianfan patted Xiaochi's shoulder and then strode up the stairs.

……

Standing at the door of the section chief's office, Cheng Qianfan dropped the cigarette butt in his hand and crushed it with the toe of his shoe.

Then he straightened his clothes, nodded to the guard at the door, and walked forward and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

When Cheng Qianfan pushed the door open, he saw San Benjiro sitting in a chair behind the desk, concentrating on reading documents.

Chibehara Tsukasa was sitting on the sofa, crossing his legs and shaking a glass of red wine in his hand.

Seeing this scene, a trace of disgust flashed in Cheng Qianfan's eyes, and then his gaze swept to the wine cabinet beside him. He frowned slightly, and then his usual smile instantly appeared on his face.

"Section Chief." Cheng Qianfan saluted San Benjiro respectfully.

"Kentaro is here." Sanbenjiro pointed with his right hand without looking up, "Sit down."

"Hi." Cheng Qianfan did not sit down, but continued to stand and wait respectfully.

He acted as if he didn't see Qian Beiyuan Si and didn't take the initiative to greet Qian Beiyuan Si.

"Mr. Miyazaki is in a hurry, but what's the matter?" Chihohara Tsukasa slowly shook the red wine glass in his hand and suddenly asked.

"So reporter Lou is here too." Cheng Qianfan then looked at Qian Beiyuan Si.

Chihohara Tsukasa's lazy gaze suddenly became sharp, and he looked at Miyazaki Kentaro.

The first time they met was at Wang Mansion in Liusan Garden. He was Lou Hanru, a reporter for the Shanghai Daily News.

After that, when they met for the second time, he was still in the identity of Lou Hanru. It was in the office of the deputy chief inspector of the Central Patrol Office at No. 22 Xue Huali Road, and he conducted an exclusive interview with this "Little General Cheng".

So, it's not wrong for Kentaro Miyazaki to call him 'Lou Reporter'.

However, Chihohara Tsukasa had no doubt that Miyazaki Kentaro already knew his identity, but Miyazaki Kentaro deliberately called him "Reporter Lou".

……

"Let's meet formally." Qian Beiyuan Si held the red wine glass in his left hand and stretched out his right hand. "Qian Beiyuan Si, the second-class secretary of the General Liaison Office of the Mei Agency."

Cheng Qianfan did not immediately extend his right hand. He looked at Qian Beiyuansi, "That Lou Hanru..."

"It's just a mission requirement, to cover up my identity." Chihohara Tsukasa smiled. He looked at his right hand and then looked at Miyazaki Kentaro.

"It turns out to be Qianbei Jun." Cheng Qianfan then shook hands with Qianbei Yuansi. He smiled and said, "I have heard of your name for a long time."

"I have long heard of Miyazaki-kun's great name." Chihohara Tsukasa was also smiling. He could naturally hear the coldness behind Miyazaki Kentaro's smiling words "I have long heard of your great name".

Sanbenjiro was still looking down at the documents seriously, and seemed to pay no attention to the verbal exchange between his right-hand man and his favored nephew.

"Mr. Miyazaki came here in a hurry with a serious look on his face. What trouble did you encounter?" Chikitara Tsukasa took a sip of red wine and asked with a smile.
