My years of espionage

Chapter 1826 Cheng Qianfan: I can’t figure it out! I can’t figure it out!
"As expected of Miyazaki-kun, whom Section Chief Sanben held in high regard back then." Saeki Umezumi exclaimed, "Indeed, this Ike Hiroshige intends to escape my control."

Now that the matter has been brought out and he still needs Miyazaki Kentaro's help to investigate the clues, Umezumi Saeki simply stops hiding anything and tells Miyazaki Kentaro everything.

"So, Chi Bochao has always wanted to go abroad, and he is worried about the sanctions from the Military Control Commission." Cheng Qianfan said with a look of sudden realization, "So, he has set his sights on me."

"That's right." Saijo Umezu nodded and said.

"No wonder this person was able to find the Red Party's traces." Cheng Qianfan sneered, "People who come from the National Party really know the Red Party best."

"So, Mr. Sakami has doubts about the death of Ike Hirocho." Araki Harima said after listening to the inside story.

"Yes." Saejo Umezumi nodded. He looked at Miyazaki Kentaro and said, "Miyazaki-kun, has the police confirmed that the Ginger Mule Gang was responsible for the crime? Have you found anything else?"

"The crime scene is in Xiafei District, which is not my jurisdiction. I am not clear about the details yet." Cheng Qianfan said seriously, "However, according to the report I heard before, some citizens said that they did hear the other party claiming to be Jiang Mule."

He looked at Saejo Umezu and said, "Generally speaking, with this kind of testimony, the police would definitely conclude that it was the Jiang Mule gang that sneaked into the French Concession to kill and rob."

……

"It's not surprising that the police station didn't know Meng Fanyu's true identity, so they made such a judgment." Saeki Umezumi said thoughtfully, "Now that Miyazaki-kun knows Meng Fanyu's true identity, what do you think about this?"

"Before coming here, I discussed this case with my subordinates." Cheng Qianfan said, "I had a question before. Meng Fanyu doesn't look like a wealthy man, so why did he attract the Jiang Mule gang to break into his house, rob and kill people?"

"At that time, we suspected that Meng Fanyu might have some unknown wealth, which accidentally leaked out, leading to his fatal disaster," said Cheng Qianfan.

"Meng Fanyu has a little money, but not much more." Saeki Umezumi shook his head and said, "If Meng Fanyu really had a lot of money, he would have found a way to buy his way out of Shanghai secretly."

"It seems that..." Cheng Qianfan pondered, "Meng Fanyu's murder was most likely not an ordinary burglary and murder."

He looked at Umezumi Saeaki and said, "There are three possibilities."

……

"Mr. Miyazaki, please speak." said Umezumi Saeaki.

"First, he was indeed killed for money. The other party was just a petty thief. After breaking into the house and robbing and killing people, he deliberately used the name of the Jiang Mule gang to disrupt the police station's investigation." Cheng Qianfan said.

"Secondly, Meng Fanyu was indeed killed by the Jiang Mule Gang." He said to Sasaki Umezumi, "This can be divided into two situations."

"One is that it is indeed the Jiang Mule Gang that killed and robbed people, but this possibility is small." Cheng Qianfan said, "The Jiang Mule Gang has been rampant and evil for many years. They have committed major crimes and their target groups are all wealthy people. They probably don't look down on people like Meng Fanyu who have a little wealth."

"Another possibility is that the Jiang Mule gang sneaked into the French Concession and committed crimes under the instructions of someone else," said Cheng Qianfan.

"You mean, the Jiang Mule gang was instructed by Chongqing to sneak into Shanghai and assassinate Meng Fanyu?" asked Saeki Umezumi.

"It's just a possibility." Cheng Qianfan nodded first, then shook his head, "However, the police station had no clues or rumors that the Jiang Mule gang had colluded with Chongqing."

"There is one last possibility," Araki Harima interrupted and added, "That is, Chi Bochao was assassinated by the Military Control Commission, but these people used Jiang Mule's name to disrupt the investigation."

"Yes, this is exactly the third possibility I want to talk about." Cheng Qianfan nodded and said, "Considering Meng Fanyu's true identity, in my opinion, this possibility is relatively high."

"It seems that Mr. Araki and Mr. Miyazaki's opinions coincide with mine." Saeki Umezumi nodded slightly and said.

"Since Lieutenant Colonel Sakami has already made a biased judgment in his mind," Cheng Qianfan looked at Sakami Umezumi and said, "The Military Police can conduct an investigation based on this judgment. I wonder what Lieutenant Colonel Sakami wants me to do?"

"Meng Fanyu's true identity is highly confidential. No one in Shanghai or Chongqing has ever seen him," said Saegi Umezumi. "But now it seems that Chongqing has successfully locked on to Meng Fanyu. This is what confuses me the most."

"That's true." Araki Harima nodded and said.

……

"Such a person who kept his identity secret was found so accurately by Chongqing." He looked at Miyazaki Kentaro, "Miyazaki-kun, if Sakami-kun's confusion can be cleared up, then the truth of this case will be revealed."

"That's right." Cheng Qianfan nodded, and he looked at Saejo Umezumi, "What does Lieutenant Colonel Saejo need us to do?"

"Miyazaki-kun." Saejo Umezumi looked at Miyazaki Kentaro and suddenly asked, "If you want to find Chi Bochao, you only know his name and nothing else. With your power in the French Concession, can you find Chi Bochao?"

Cheng Qianfan's heart was filled with alarm. He didn't know why Sasaki Umezumi asked him this question.

However, his expression remained calm, revealing a thoughtful expression. He slowly said, "It's difficult. There is only a name, and no other clues. Trying to find this Chi Bochao is like looking for a needle in a haystack. The hope is very slim."

"This is the crux of the matter." Saejo Umezumi nodded and said, "With your manpower and power in the French Concession, it would be very difficult to find Chi Bochao from the vast crowd. So, how did Chongqing find Chi Bochao so accurately?"

"Yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "How did Chongqing find Chi Bochao so accurately?"

"I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out." He shook his head and said.

"Sagami-kun," Araki Harima said thoughtfully, "Does this Ike Hiroshige have any obvious features in his appearance?"

"Yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded and said, "If this person has obvious features on his face, Chongqing will use these features to find him."

He pondered and said, "After all, Shanghai was conquered by the Empire not long ago. Chongqing has a lot of people here, many of whom are Shanghai natives. These people are all connected to all walks of life. It is difficult to find a person with a similar appearance, but it is not impossible."

Cheng Qianfan paused and said, "From my impression, Meng Fanyu looks ordinary, without any obvious features."

……

"Yes." Saijo Umezu nodded.

"However, there is a distinctive feature in Chi Bochao's appearance. He has a mole under his right eyebrow," said Umezumi Saeki.

"Then they must be looking for someone based on the mole." Araki Harima said.

Cheng Qianfan nodded first, then shook his head, "It's just that I don't remember Meng Fanyu having moles on his eyebrows."

"Chi Bochao also knows that this feature of his is very dangerous." Saeki Umezumi nodded and explained, "The day after he came to Shanghai, I arranged for him to have surgery to remove the mole under his eyebrow."

"Now that the mole has been removed, there is no directional feature." Cheng Qianfan frowned and said, "Then how did the enemy find Chi Bochao?"

"Sagami-kun." Araki Harima thought and said, "I have a guess."

He looked at Umezumi Sae and Kentaro Miyazaki and said, "The people in Chongqing are naturally aware of the characteristics of the mole under Chi Bochao's eyebrows. If they guess that Chi Bochao will get rid of the mole, then..."

"I understand." Cheng Qianfan looked at Araki Harima with admiration on his face.

Nodding, he said, "To get rid of the mole, we can either go to the hospital or the clinic, or we can find a traveling doctor. Araki-kun, are you saying that the enemy might be looking for Chi Bochao through this direction?!"
