My years of espionage

Chapter 1814: Special High Section Interrogation

at dusk.

The ship docked.

Cheng Qianfan got off the boat accompanied by Haozi and a group of bodyguards.

"Brother Fan, my sister-in-law is over there." Haozi pointed to the two cars parked at the dock and said.

"Let's go." Cheng Qianfan nodded.

It was at this time that Cheng Qianfan and his group were blocked.

"Mr. '幄', what do you mean?" Cheng Qianfan frowned and looked at my grandson Shenta who brought people to block his way.

"Mr. Cheng, I'm sorry, you can't go home yet." My grandson Shinta said, "There is a case that requires you to go to the Special Higher Section for a visit."

"What case?" Cheng Qianfan asked with a stern look on his face.

"Mr. Cheng, you'll know when you get there." My grandson Shen Tai said with a wry smile.

Haozi glanced at Brother Fan, and as long as Brother Fan gave the signal, he would lead his men to take action.

Cheng Qianfan shook his head slightly.

……

Just at this time, Li Hao brought a few people over.

"Brother Fan." Li Hao shouted. He was stopped by the Special High Section.

"I want to say a few words to my family." Cheng Qianfan looked at my grandson Shen Tai and said lightly.

My grandson Shinta hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Brother Fan." Li Hao squeezed in. "The Nanjing Ministry of Foreign Affairs called. Minister Chu asked Secretary Liu to bring a message. It's just a routine question. Brother Fan, please don't worry about it. Minister Chu will take care of it for you."

As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at my grandson Shinta.

My grandson Shinta smiled slightly and didn't care.

"I understand." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "Go back and tell your sister-in-law that I will be home for the New Year's Eve dinner tonight."

"Okay." Li Hao nodded.

Haozi also said, "Brother Fan, I will bring my brothers to take you home when the time comes."

"Yeah." Cheng Qianfan nodded.

……

"Mr. Cheng, please come in." My grandson Shen Tai made a gesture of invitation and said.

Cheng Qianfan glanced at my grandson Shen Tai and nodded.

"There is one more thing. I heard that Mr. Cheng got a painting by Lord Oizumi. Section Chief Arao also likes Lord Oizumi's paintings very much." My grandson Shinta said, "Please ask Mr. Cheng to bring the painting with him."

Cheng Qianfan frowned and stared at my grandson Shen Tai.

My grandson Shinta had a serious expression and nodded imperceptibly.

"Since Lord Arao has such a refined hobby, this is a refined thing, and there is nothing wrong with it." Cheng Qianfan said calmly, "Haozi, give me the scroll."

"Yes, Brother Fan." Haozi took out the scroll from his luggage and handed it to Cheng Qianfan.

……

Cheng Qianfan got into my grandson Shen Tai's car.

My grandson Shinta closed the car curtain.

"Head of the tent, what happened?" Cheng Qianfan asked, naturally speaking Japanese.

"The Nanjing Special High Section sent a telegram saying that Mr. Oizumi Takaya's residence and Lin's residence were attacked, the guards were killed, and Mr. Oizumi Takaya was missing." My grandson Shinta said.

"How could this happen?" Cheng Qianfan exclaimed, "Yesterday, I went to meet Mr. Daquan on behalf of the Wang family's Ministry of Foreign Affairs to give him a New Year's gift."

"It is precisely because you went to meet Mr. Oizumi Takaya yesterday that the people in Nanjing don't know your identity, so they called us to interrogate and investigate you." My grandson Shinta said.

"So that's how it is." Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly and said.

To my grandson Shinta, his identity is Kentaro Miyazaki, so he doesn't need to explain anything, he just needs to play the role of Kentaro Miyazaki well.

……

"What do you think about this matter?" asked my grandson Shinta.

"To be honest," Cheng Qianfan said, "I have no idea at all. Moreover, I don't think it makes sense. Mr. Oizumi is just an official of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. As for his identity as a painter, he should not have attracted such a killing."

My grandson Shinta nodded slightly, "Perhaps Nanjing knows more about this matter. We are also confused here."

Cheng Qianfan thought about it and nodded, but alarm bells were ringing in his heart.

As the chief of the intelligence room of the Shanghai Special High Section, my grandson Shinta must know something about the situation even if he is not fully aware of the inside story.

My grandson Shinta said this, is it because he needs to keep it secret? Or is he suspicious?
He wasn't sure.

Cheng Qianfan thought, in this case, his best coping strategy is to respond to all changes with the same attitude.

"Is this the painting given by Mr. Oizumi?" My grandson Shinta took a look at the scroll and suddenly asked.

"Yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded. "Mr. Sakamoto from the Consulate General is my good friend. He really likes Mr. Oizumi's paintings. In fact, I asked for this painting for him."

"I see." My grandson Shinta nodded, "Would it be convenient for me to take a look at this painting?"

"Of course." Cheng Qianfan nodded and handed the scroll to my grandson Shen Tai.

……

My grandson Shinta untied the scroll, took out a flashlight, and unfolded it to look at it.

Under the halo of the flashlight, Cheng Qianfan keenly caught the glimpse of my grandson Shinta's eyes shrinking, and then immediately returning to normal.

His heart moved:
My grandson Shinta knows about the 'Octopus' plan?
This painting itself is just a very normal folk imitation painting. It should not cause any emotional fluctuations in my grandson Shen Tai. However, the fleeting expression of my grandson Shen Tai just now made Cheng Qianfan unable to speculate too much.

This is because Oizumi Takaya copied the paintings of Hokusai Chiba, and of the genre paintings of the same style, Hokusai Chiba's most famous one is the "Octopus and Ama". If my grandson Shinta thought of the painting "Octopus and Ama", then everything would make sense.

"This painting is in the style of the Edo period," said my grandson Shinta, nodding.

"I didn't expect that the commander is also quite knowledgeable about painting?" Cheng Qianfan asked in surprise.

"It's just a superficial knowledge." My grandson Shinta smiled and looked at Miyazaki Kentaro, "Mr. Cheng, do you know where this painting came from?"

"I didn't know it originally, but luckily it's written here." Cheng Qianfan said, "This is Mr. Oizumi Takashi's imitation of Mr. Hokusai Chiba's painting. Although I don't know much about painting art, I still know the name of Hokusai Chiba, a famous painter in the Edo period of the Empire."

Upon hearing this, my grandson Shinta immediately took out a flashlight and shone the small words on the lower left side of the scroll, then laughed and said, "Yes, that's it, I didn't see the inscription."

Cheng Qianfan smiled slightly and said nothing more, pretending that he didn't see through my grandson Shen Tai's acting skills.

……

"When we get to the Special High Section later, Section Chief Arao will meet you in person to interrogate Mr. Cheng." My grandson Shinta glanced at Cheng Qianfan and reminded him.

"I understand." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "If it weren't for my special identity, I should have been suspected."

"I'm glad you understand." My grandson Shinta nodded.

……

Extraordinary courses.

In the section chief's office.

"Based on my understanding of Liu Xia, what Liu Xia said was that she made a mistake at work and forgot to send a New Year gift to Mr. Oizumi Takaya. This should not be the true situation," said Cheng Qianfan.

"You mean, Liu Xia is suspicious?" asked Arao Chihiro.

"That's not what I meant." Cheng Qianfan said, "Liu Xia is very serious and cautious in her work, so it's unlikely that she would make such a mistake."

He said to Arao Chihiro, "The most likely scenario is that Chu Mingyu has added Mr. Oizumi Takashi to the list of people to whom he would send New Year gifts, and Liu Xia went to deliver the gifts urgently."

"So, you are doubting Chu Mingyu?" My grandson Shen Tai suddenly asked from the side.

"There is no way there is anything wrong with Chu Mingyu." Cheng Qianfan shook his head. "He is Wang Tianhai's absolute confidant. Apart from anything else, if there is something wrong with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Wang regime, it is not the failure of Nanjing, but the failure of the empire."

"You just said that it was you who took the initiative to offer to accompany Liu Xia to Helin's residence?" asked Arao Chihiro.

"Yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded. "Liu Xia is Chu Mingyu's confidant, or to be more precise, Liu Xia is on Mrs. Chu's side, and Mrs. Chu is Mrs. Wang's side. It can be said that Liu Xia has a strong following within the Wang family's top management."

"Did you make friends with Liu Xia on purpose?" My grandson Shinta nodded and said.

"Yes." Cheng Qianfan said, "Cheng Qianfan actually has only one real backer within the Wang regime, and that is Chu Mingyu's trust and appreciation, which is not as good as Liu Xia's support. If I make friends with Liu Xia, it will help me to stand firm beside Chu Mingyu in Nanjing."

……

"Tell me about Liu Xia. Do you think there is something wrong with Liu Xia?" Arao Chihiro suddenly asked again.

Cheng Qianfan did not answer the question immediately. Instead, he thought for a while before saying, "From my understanding and observation of Liu Xia, it seems that Liu Xia does not have any problems."

He said to Arao Chihiro, "As your subordinate just said, Liu Xia is a distant relative of Chu Mingyu's wife. She became prosperous because of the Chu family. The Chinese people attach great importance to this kind of clan relationship, so it is unlikely that there will be any problems."

Then, Cheng Qianfan asked Arao Chihiro, "Does the section chief suspect Liu Xia?"

"Anyone who has had contact with Mr. Oizumi Takaya recently is a suspect." My grandson Shinta said on the side.

"Then the scope of the suspects is large." Cheng Qianfan said, "Not long ago, Mr. Oizumi Takashi held an art exhibition. He personally visited the exhibition center and met many people. I, along with my colleagues from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, also met Mr. Oizumi Takashi at that time and had the honor of speaking to him a few words."

Arao Chihiro frowned, "Are you saying that Mr. Oizumi Takaya also held an art exhibition?"

"Yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded, as if he was surprised that Arao Chihiro did not understand the situation.

Arao Chihiro had a gloomy face. He really had no idea of ​​the situation. If Nanjing did not report to Shanghai about what happened in Nanjing, how would he know?

"Miyazaki-kun." My grandson Shinta pointed at the painting on the table and asked Miyazaki Kentaro, "Has Liu Xia seen this painting?"

"She looked at it, but just took a quick look. When she saw it was a genre painting, she exclaimed and closed the painting," said Cheng Qianfan.

……

Tomohiro Arao and my grandson Shinta asked Kentaro Miyazaki some more questions, and then signaled that Kentaro Miyazaki could leave.

"Section Chief, this painting?" Cheng Qianfan pointed at the painting on Arao Chihiro's desk and asked.

"Leave this painting with me for now, and I'll return it to you when the time comes," said Arao Chihiro.

"Ha Yi." Cheng Qianfan said, then thought for a moment and said, "Section Chief, this painting was requested by my good friend Sakamoto Ryouno. I hope you will take good care of it."

Arao Chihiro frowned and glanced at Miyazaki Kentaro, "Don't worry."

"Then I'll take my leave." Cheng Qianfan said.

He was about to leave when he was suddenly stopped by Arao Chihiro.

"Miyazaki." said Tomohiro Arao.

"Professor."

"Aren't you curious about Mr. Oizumi Takaya's true identity and why he got into trouble?" Arao Tomohiro suddenly asked.

"I was curious. I was curious from the beginning. On the way to the Special High Section, I even asked the chief of the tent." Cheng Qianfan said.

"Then why didn't you continue asking?" asked Arao Chihiro.

"Although I am dull, I am not stupid." Cheng Qianfan said, "When Mr. Oizumi Takashi disappeared, Nanjing immediately contacted Shanghai and asked the headquarters to interrogate Cheng Qianfan. Even the section chief personally questioned me, which is enough to show that this matter is very complicated."

As he spoke, Cheng Qianfan glanced at Arao Chihiro cautiously and said, "This is a serious matter. The less I know, the better. You should put away your curiosity."

"You are smart and cautious." Arao Chihiro looked deeply at Miyazaki Kentaro and waved his hand, "Go, this matter must be kept absolutely confidential."

"Hayi." Cheng Qianfan retreated respectfully.

……

"Section Chief, judging from Kentaro Miyazaki's answer and reaction just now, there should be no problem with Kentaro Miyazaki." Shinta Agatsuma said to Tomohiro Arao.

Arao Chihiro glanced at my grandson Shinta.

"Kentaro Miyazaki shows no signs of guilt," said my grandson Shinta.

Arao Chihiro nodded.

Kentaro Miyazaki is an imperial agent. Logically, he should not be on the suspect list or in the sight. However, the disappearance of Takaya Oizumi involves too many people. It can even be said that it is very likely to alarm Lord Tojo who is far away in Tokyo. Therefore, even for Kentaro Miyazaki who is an imperial agent, Tomohiro Arao still holds a subconscious suspicion.

He had been observing Kentaro Miyazaki's reactions just now. Miyazaki Kentaro's reactions were normal and there was nothing suspicious about them.

Especially when Kentaro Miyazaki left at the end, he deliberately did not mention the painting.

At this time, Kentaro Miyazaki took the initiative to mention the painting.

If Miyazaki Kentaro felt guilty and was suddenly brought to the Special Higher Police for questioning, he would naturally want to leave as soon as possible and might not dare to ask about the painting.

At this time, Miyazaki Kentaro was still concerned about the painting, and even emphasized that it was a painting he requested for a friend, which seems to confirm Miyazaki Kentaro's attitude towards the matter:

Although I was surprised, I took it easy because it had nothing to do with the matter.

In other words, if Kentaro Miyazaki did not ask for the painting to be taken away before leaving, it does not necessarily mean that there was something wrong with him. Perhaps he wanted to leave the painting behind to please his section chief who liked paintings.

However, he asked for the painting calmly because he was asking for it for his friend, which seems to indicate that Miyazaki Kentaro was not nervous or intimidated.
