My years of espionage

Chapter 299 Night Meeting (please ask for a monthly pass)
"What's the matter?" Sanben Jiro asked lightly.

"At Mr. Imamura's home yesterday, my subordinates got a piece of news from Mr. Imamura." Cheng Qianfan said.

"Oh? What news?" Sanben Jiro narrowed his eyes and asked.

"His Excellency Eiichi Iwai intends to form a new secret service agency." Cheng Qianfan said, he glanced at Sanben Jiro and lowered his voice, "Mr. Imamura seems to intend to recruit his subordinates to join this agency."

He secretly observed Sanben Jiro's facial expression.

"Then how did you answer Imamura-kun?" Sanben Jiro grinned and asked.

Cheng Qianfan immediately concluded from Sanben Jiro's reaction:
First, Jiro Sanben and the Shanghai Super High School already knew about Eiichi Iwai's plan to form a new secret service.

Second, among the guests at Imamura Heutaro's house yesterday, there is a high possibility that Sanbon Jiro was there. In other words, Sanbon Jiro knew about Imamura Heutaro's private conversation with him.

This is in line with Cheng Qianfan's pre-judgment, and this second pre-judgment is the reason why Cheng Qianfan decisively decided to "candidly" tell Sanben Jiro about this matter just now.

……

"I didn't agree or refuse, it was vague." Cheng Qianfan showed a panicked and ashamed expression, and quickly explained, "Miyazaki is a person in a special high school, so naturally I wouldn't agree, but Miyazaki is ashamed, and I didn't either. Dare to refuse directly."

Hearing what Cheng Qianfan said, a smile finally appeared on Sanben Jiro's gloomy face.

This is basically consistent with what he has learned.

Iwai Eiichi wants to form a secret service agency that belongs only to him, which has already aroused the vigilance of Kagesa Yoshiaki and Sanben Jiro.

Among the guests who attended Imamura Heutaro's birthday party yesterday, one was a covert agent of the Special High School. This was a senior agent that neither Iwai Eiichi nor Imamura Heutaro had mastered. Its purpose was to monitor imperial dissidents in the consulate general.

This person reported to Sanben Jiro in detail what happened yesterday, and mentioned one thing:

A citizen of the empire named Miyazaki Kentaro, led by the young master of the Sakamoto family, also attended the banquet. Heitaro Imamura seemed to appreciate and value him, and the two had a private conversation.

Sanben Jiro was furious.

If Miyazaki Kentaro did not come to him to report the situation today, he would not mind arranging for Miyazaki a chance to be loyal to the emperor.

"Your Excellency Eiichi Iwai has dedicated himself to the empire and is willing to take on more work. This is a good thing." Sanben Jiro said, "So, you are doing something wrong, why did you refuse Imamura-kun's invitation?"

Cheng Qianfan looked at Sanben Jiro, his expression was puzzled, with thinking in his doubts, and after thinking, his eyes seemed to light up, and he had some understanding.

"Idiot!" Sanben Jiro scolded directly, "You have a good relationship with Imamura-kun, and you should take the initiative to get closer to Imamura-kun in the future and join him."

"The section chief means..." Cheng Qianfan said softly, "Let me break into it?"

"No, no, they all serve the empire, how can you say that." Jiro Sanben shook his head, "We need to deepen our understanding of the neighboring organizations."

"Yes!" Cheng Qianfan showed a stunned and admiring expression, "Miyazaki understands."

……

Leaving the secret stronghold of the Shanghai Super High School, Cheng Qianfan walked all the way and deliberately took a detour before arriving at the place where he parked.

Got into the car.

He started the car directly and drove the car all the way to a tea house on Mai Ni Ni Road.

I went up to the second floor, asked for a private room, and told no one to disturb me.

A pot of tea, a dish of melon seeds, and a dish of mung bean cake.

Holding mung bean cake in hand, sitting in front of the window sill, watching the people coming and going downstairs.

He was lost in thought.

Originally, he wanted to look sideways at Sanben Jiro to find out about Japanese ronin, but the first time he saw Sanben Jiro, he sensed something was wrong and decisively rejected this idea.

At this moment, he was thinking about whether he had made a mistake in his response in front of Sanben Jiro just now.

After thinking over and over again, Cheng Qianfan thought to himself that there should be no loopholes and it would be appropriate.

He can admit that he had contact and talk with Imamura Heutaro.

It can also be reported that Imamura Heutaro is interested in recruiting him.

However, it is absolutely impossible to say that I agreed to the solicitation of Imamura Heutaro.

You can't even say that you refuse directly.

'Neither refused nor agreed' is the most appropriate answer.

On the contrary, this answer is the easiest for Sanben Jiro to believe.

In addition, I took the initiative to report this matter to Sanben Jiro today, which can satisfy Sanben Jiro's attitude towards him to the greatest extent.

Cheng Qianfan licked the mung bean dregs on his hand, and the corner of his mouth curled up.

He was delighted to be able to fight against a master like Sanben Jiro, and to be able to pass again when he was "surprised" by the opponent.

But then, he shook his head.

This fact is sinister.

If it wasn't for him being cautious today, accustomed to reviewing his behavior, and thinking about whether there are any omissions, he suddenly thought of going to Imamura Heutaro yesterday, knowing that this matter could not be hidden from Sanben Jiro, and he had to report it.

For this alone, he would be considered a betrayal by Sanben Jiro.

Being targeted by a murderous executioner like Sanben Jiro, even if he is Japanese, it is not an absolute protection.

Breaking into the enemy's nest yesterday, narrowly escaped death, stealing confidential information, today playing chess with Sanben Jiro.

Startled at every step.

He picked up the teacup and toasted from a distance:

Comrade Cheng Qianfan, I lived another day for you.

cheers.

he said to himself.

……

Hongkou District.

Tiantong Road Vegetable Market.

This is a two-story Japanese-style building.

Yamazaki Shuichi respectfully handed a note to Inouehiko.

Inouehiko is of medium build, with a long and gloomy face and few words.

At this time, he was wearing a kimono, with clogs on his feet, and was practicing kendo.

"Tell me." Inouehiko said expressionlessly.

"Juzi wrote back, saying that he suspected that he had discovered the Chinese spies monitoring the mansion."

"kindness."

Inouehiko glanced at Osamu Yamazaki, handed the bamboo sword to one of his subordinates, reached out again, picked up a warm towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead and his hands.

"Be specific."

"Juzi led people to repeat the same trick, pretending to be a Chinese girl and being bullied, and tricked the Chinese into helping them." Shuichi Yamazaki said, "They met two Chinese, and one of them was very impulsive and came up directly to save people."

"What about the other one?"

"The other one also came up, and there was a fight between the two sides. This person was stabbed and fled with the other person. Juzi judged that these two were the Chinese agents we were looking for."

"What's the reason?" Inoue Yan took a sip of hot tea, sighed comfortably, and said.

"Later, the Chinese didn't come up to rescue Juzi. According to Juzi, this person should have discovered something keenly, and the purpose was to lead the other Chinese out of the fighting quickly and successfully evacuate." Shuichi Yamazaki said.

A smile appeared on the corner of Inouehiko's mouth, "Find these two people! Catch them!"

A week ago, the Inoue Mansion accidentally discovered that it seemed to be under surveillance.

However, the other party is very cunning, and has not been able to catch the slightest clue of the other party.

In the end, the mansion found another way to investigate in this way.

If ordinary Chinese are attracted to take action, then they will be killed, which can be regarded as getting rid of potential anti-Japanese personnel for the empire.

And this kind of Chinese who is very vigilant, able to find that this is a trap, and has a certain force value is exactly the Chinese agent they are looking for that meets the characteristics of the investigation.

……

That night, when the lights first came on.

Hongkou District.

The residence of Yoshino Sakamoto.

Cheng Qianfan came to visit with food and wine.

Everything looks normal.

After the door was closed, Cheng Qianfan entered the room, and bowed respectfully to a man who was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, "Mr. Imamura."

The man put down the newspaper, it was Heutaro Imamura.

Imamura Heutaro and Cheng Qianfan both looked at Sakamoto Ryono.

Ryono Sakamoto rubbed his nose. He picked up the food and wine brought by Cheng Qianfan, pointed to the small bedroom, "I'm going to drink."

"Miyazaki-kun, you invited me here through Sakamoto-kun, what happened?" Imamura Heutaro asked.

"Sanben Section Chief ordered me to wait for the opportunity to join Iwai Mansion." Cheng Qianfan said softly.
