My years of espionage

Chapter 1813 Who is this brother? So brave!

"Due to my negligence, I forgot to give Mr. Daquan the New Year gift. Yesterday I went to Helin Apartment to give Mr. Daquan the New Year gift from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs," said Liu Xia.

The Japanese major looked at Chu Mingyu.

"Major Murata, I can confirm this." Chu Mingyu nodded slightly and said lightly.

Murata Manta looked at Liu Xia and said, "As far as I know, Secretary Liu did not go to the Helin Apartment alone."

"Yes, Secretary Cheng accompanied me." Liu Xia nodded.

"Cheng Qianfan?" asked Murata Mitsuta.

"Yes."

"It was you who asked Secretary Cheng to go to Helin Apartment with us?" asked Murata Mitsuta.

"Secretary Cheng saw that there were a lot of New Year gifts and knew that I didn't have enough strength, so he took the initiative to help." Liu Xia said.

"In other words, Secretary Cheng shouldn't have gone to Helin Apartment, but he insisted on going?" asked Murata Mitsuta.

"Secretary Cheng and I are not only colleagues, but also good friends," Liu Xia said. "He saw that I had a lot of things and helped me. I didn't think it was strange, and..."

"And what?" Murata Mitsuta asked immediately.

"My driving skills are average, and Secretary Cheng knows that," said Liu Xia.

She showed a puzzled look and asked, "Excuse me, can I know what happened?"

……

"Just this morning, the Helin Apartment was attacked, Mr. Oizumi Takaya disappeared, and all his bodyguards were killed," said Mitsuta Murata.

"What? So many bodyguards are..." Liu Xia showed a look of surprise and panic. She immediately understood why the Japanese came to interrogate her. She quickly said, "This matter has nothing to do with us. We just went there to deliver New Year gifts yesterday and left very quickly."

"We came here to inquire because we knew that Secretary Liu went to deliver the New Year's gift," said Murata Mitsuta. "We will investigate anyone who has had contact with Mr. Oizumi."

Liu Xia nodded subconsciously, then shook her head.

……

"Please tell us in detail the process of sending New Year gifts, Secretary Liu." Murata Manta said with a serious expression, "In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, don't miss any details."

Liu Xia looked at Chu Mingyu.

Chu Mingyu's face was gloomy, but he still nodded slowly.

Liu Xia then recalled carefully and recounted what happened yesterday when she went to Helin Apartment to deliver New Year gifts.

"You mean, Mr. Oizumi also gave a painting to Cheng Qianfan?" Murata Manta asked immediately.

"Yes." Liu Xia said, "Secretary Cheng is a good friend of Mr. Sakamoto Ryono of your country's Consulate General in Shanghai. He heard from Mr. Sakamoto that Mr. Oizumi's paintings are very outstanding. Secretary Cheng also likes paintings, so he asked Mr. Oizumi for a painting, and Mr. Oizumi readily agreed."

"Where is that painting?" Murata Mitsuta asked.

"The painting was given to Secretary Cheng, so it is naturally with Secretary Cheng," said Liu Xia.

"Minister Chu, please ask Secretary Cheng to come over. We have some questions to ask him later." said Murata Mitsuta.

"Secretary Cheng is from Shanghai and has already boarded the ship back to Shanghai." Chu Mingyu said.

Murata Manta's face changed. He turned to one of his men and said, "Contact Shanghai, Ueda, and ask the Shanghai Special High Section to ask Cheng Qianfan to question him."

"Hayi." said Koshiro Ueda.

……

"Major Murata." Chu Mingyu was unhappy. He said with a gloomy face, "Today is New Year's Eve. Secretary Cheng's return to Shanghai was a date set long ago. Don't misunderstand me."

"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, you'll know if you check it out." Murata Manta said coldly without giving Chu Mingyu any face.

Chu Mingyu snorted coldly. These Japanese were too rude. He was going to report them to Mr. Wang.

"Do you know what kind of painting it is?" Murata Mitsuta turned his head to look at Liu Xia and asked.

Liu Xia's pretty face immediately showed hesitation, shyness and embarrassment.

"Secretary Liu, Mr. Oizumi is a famous painter in the empire and a very outstanding official in the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. His disappearance is of great importance. Please understand this." Murata Mitsuta said coldly, "Please answer my question just now."

"I took a look. It was a painting, a painting..." Liu Xia lowered her voice, "It was a genre painting."

"Please tell me in more detail," said Murata Mitsuta.

"There's a naked woman in the painting," Liu Xia said with a red face.

Murata Mitsuta glanced at Liu Xia, nodded, turned to Ueda Koshiro and said, "Please ask the Shanghai Special High Section to check this painting and send it to Nanjing if necessary."

……

Chu Mingyu said at this time, "Major Murata, there is nothing else to ask."

"Secretary Liu, the list of the New Year gifts you sent is still there," said Murata Mitsuta.

"Yes." Liu Xia looked at Chu Mingyu first, and when she saw Chu Mingyu nodded, she said, "I'll get it for you."

"Ueda, accompany Secretary Liu to get the list." said Murata Mitsuta.

"Major Murata, don't go too far!" Chu Mingyu was angry and slammed the table. "Are you doubting our Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"

"Minister Chu, you misunderstood. This is a serious matter. We are just being cautious." Murata Mitsuru said indifferently.

Chu Mingyu looked at Murata Manta coldly and stopped talking.

Liu Xia came back and the list was already in the hands of Koshiro Ueda.

Murata Mitsuta took the list, nodded, and a hypocritical smile appeared on his face, "It seems that you still respect Mr. Oizumi."

"We respect all friendly people from foreign countries who are friendly to our new regime." Chu Mingyu said in a deep voice.

Murata Mitsuta smiled. He could naturally hear that Chu Mingyu was accusing him of not being a friendly person.

"Okay, excuse me." Murata Mitsuta folded the list, put it away, stood up and said, "Secretary Liu, if you need anything, we will come back to bother you again."

As he spoke, he looked at Chu Mingyu and bowed slightly, "Minister Chu, sorry to bother you."

"No need to see you off!" Chu Mingyu snorted coldly and said.

……

"Minister, how could this happen?" Liu Xia said to Chu Mingyu, with a hint of fear between her brows.

"Chongqing is becoming more and more rampant." Chu Mingyu said with a frown.

He knew something about what Oizumi Takashi was doing, so Chu Mingyu concluded that the incident at Helin Residence was most likely done by Chongqing, and most likely by the gang of thieves under Dai Chunfeng.

Liu Xia's heart moved. Chu Mingyu blurted out that it was Chongqing who did it. This was just an ordinary sentence, but it caught her attention.

It seems that Chu Mingyu should know the true identity and deeds of Oizumi Takashige, or at least have some understanding of him.

This also made Liu Xia's suspicion that Oizumi Takashi was related to the enemy's "Octopus" plan more certain.

But why was the Helin residence suddenly attacked, and why did Oizumi Takaya suddenly disappear?
Was it really done by Chongqing?
"Minister, we just sent a New Year gift, but we got into this trouble." Liu Xia sighed and said, "It's really an unprovoked disaster."

"Don't pay any attention to it!" Chu Mingyu said, "If the Japanese go too far, I will personally go to General Yingzuo and ask him to restrain them."

"Yes." Liu Xia said with a sigh of relief.

"Minister, if there is nothing else, I will get busy." Liu Xia said.

"You call Lafeidelu and ask my niece-in-law to tell Qianfan that the Special High Section will question him, and tell him not to worry, because I'm here to help if anything happens." Chu Mingyu said.

"Minister, is this the right way to do it..." Liu Xia asked hesitantly.

……

The Wang regime monopolized the communications business in East China through the Japanese-controlled "Huazhong Electric Communications Corporation". All long-distance calls had to be transferred through the government telephone exchange, and the content of calls was monitored by secret agencies such as the gendarmerie, the Special High Section or the Special Agent Headquarters.

"I didn't say anything else, I just wanted to reassure Qianfan, why not?" Chu Mingyu said unhappily, "The Japanese telegram will reach Shanghai soon, and Qianfan will probably be taken away by the Special High Section as soon as he gets off the ship. I wonder how scared Lafedelu will be without knowing the truth."

He had not originally intended to make this call to appease Lafedelu, but he was very dissatisfied with Murata Manta's arrogant attitude.

Thinking that Murata Mitsuta was so rude to Liu Xia in front of him, one can imagine what Cheng Qianfan might have experienced in Shanghai.

Both Liu Xia and Cheng Qianfan were his confidants. These two people were treated rudely. This was a matter of face for Chu Mingyu. He valued face the most.

"I see." Liu Xia nodded and said, "My sister-in-law is an honest person. I was scared just now, so I really had to call and tell her."

"Go ahead." Chu Mingyu said.

Liu Xia thought about it and said, "Secretary-General, I will use your office phone to call Lafede Lu."

"Okay." Chu Mingyu thought about it and nodded.

He understood what Liu Xia meant. Liu Xia had just been interrogated by the Special High Section. If the call was made from Liu Xia's office, it would probably arouse the Japanese's suspicion.

Using his office phone to make the call could have proved that it was Chu Mingyu's intention and could have avoided any trouble.

He wanted to see if the Japanese would come arrogantly to interrogate him about Chu Mingyu's problems!

……

"This is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Yihe Road. It's Shanghai."

"Shanghai."

"Where in Shanghai?"

"Mr. Cheng Qianfan's residence, Lafede Road, French Concession, Shanghai." Liu Xia said.

She spoke in Japanese.

This is because according to regulations, only government officials, Japanese military agencies, and pro-Japanese businessmen can make long-distance calls between Nanjing and Shanghai through dedicated lines, but they have to use Japanese or at least the "Concordia" language that is a mixture of Chinese and Japanese.

This is to demonstrate the friendship between Japan and China, and at the same time to prevent it from being used and impersonated by anti-Japanese guerrillas and hostile elements.

Whether in Chongqing or the Red Party, there are very few people who can actually speak Japanese. It is extremely difficult to pretend to be a Japanese or a government official and use Japanese.

Those who only know a few words of Japanese and try to get away with it are not brave but stupid. They are playing with their own lives.

……

Bai Ruolan received a call from Nanjing. She was stunned at first when she heard Liu Xia speaking Japanese on the other end of the phone.

However, he quickly reacted and responded in slightly unfamiliar Japanese.

"Thank you, Sister Xia. It's a good thing you made the call. Otherwise, if I had gone to the dock to pick him up in the evening and failed to pick him up, I would have been extremely worried." Bai Ruolan said.

"Sister-in-law, your Japanese is pretty good." Liu Xia asked in surprise. Although Bai Ruolan spoke slowly, she was able to speak such a long paragraph and only used Chinese for a few words, which was already very good.

"I had nothing to do, so I studied on my own." Bai Ruolan said.

"The minister said that he would make the decision for Qianfan if there is anything." Liu Xia smiled and said, "That's it, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year." Bai Ruolan said with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Bai Ruolan's expression became a little solemn.

The fact that she received a special phone call from Nanjing informing her that her husband would be asked to be questioned by the Special High Police and reassuring her family not to worry actually shows that this matter was not a trivial matter.

"Big Head." Bai Ruolan shouted.

"Madam, call me." Datou was washing the car outside. He was going to wash the car until it was shiny and then put auspicious spring couplets on it.

"Go to the police station and pick up Haozi and Xiaoru for lunch." Bai Ruolan said.

"Yes, ma'am."

……

Extraordinary courses.

Electrical Communications Review Room.

A Special High Police agent took off his headphones, trotted to the office next door, and presented the recorded conversation content to Ogasawara Rikusuke.

"Sir, this is the conversation I just transcribed." Inada Hirohito said as he handed over the paper with both hands.

Ogasawara Ritsuji took it and looked down. His brows furrowed. "Are you sure it was from Chu Mingyu's office on Yihe Road?"

"Yes." Inada Hirohito nodded, "It can be confirmed that the call was made from Chu Mingyu's office on Yihe Road, and the other party was from the residence of Lafede Lu Qianfan in the French Concession in Shanghai."

Looking at the contents of the notes, Ogasawara Ritsuki fell into deep thought.

He had some vague guesses about the content of these calls, and felt that his guesses were almost correct.

"Is Murata-kun back?" asked Ogasawara Ritsuki.

"Major Murata hasn't come back yet." The guard agent at the door responded.

"When Murata-kun comes back, please ask him to come see me immediately," said Ogasawara Ritsuki.

"Hai."

……

At noon, it's time to get off work.

Liu Xia came to Xiangyun Bookstore.

"Ms. Liu, this is the book you asked for, 'This Hate Will Never End.'" Chai Yixin handed a book to Liu Xia and said with a smile, "This version is not easy to find. Fortunately, I didn't disappoint Miss Liu."

"Thank you." Liu Xia took the book, flipped through it carefully, and looked excited.

"What happened?" Liu Xia asked in a low voice.

"Boss Dai called." Chai Yixin said, "The investigation of the 'Octopus' project is canceled immediately, and we are strictly ordered not to touch any further related matters."

After hearing what Chai Yixin said, Liu Xia immediately understood.

All previous speculations seemed to be confirmed at this moment.

Although Boss Dai's telegram only ordered the cancellation of the previous order for her to investigate the "Octopus" plan, it did not say anything else.

However, Liu Xia immediately thought of the morning when the Special High Section came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to interrogate her and told her about the attack on the Helin residence, the death of many Japanese and the disappearance of Oizumi Takaya. She immediately knew that everything was as she expected. Oizumi Takaya was indeed related to the enemy's "Octopus" plan.

This is because other brothers of the Military Control Commission have successfully taken action against the Helin Residence and Oizumi Takaya.

With her special identity, she had finally found out that it was Oizumi Takashi, but they had already taken action, slaughtering Oizumi Takashi's bodyguards and kidnapping a living person.

Who is this brother? He is so brave!
