My years of espionage

Chapter 723 Assassination
Lies cannot withstand scrutiny and investigation.

Take this matter as an example, 'teacher' Heitaro Imamura called him personally to invite him to a banquet as an accompanying guest, and he has readily agreed.

Since it was a distinguished guest, and Imamura Heutaro was so serious about it, it naturally explained the importance of this dinner. As a student of Imamura, Cheng Qianfan could not easily break the appointment after he had already agreed to attend the banquet.

With Miyazaki Kentaro's respect and respect for Imamura Heitaro.

Unless there is a compelling reason, otherwise, his breaking the appointment is unreasonable.

This requires plausible lies and suitable excuses for breaking the contract.

Cheng Qianfan flicked the ashtray, and squinted his eyes as he watched the ash fall into the ashtray.

In a hurry, it is not easy to find an excuse not to be suspected.

He subconsciously looked at the photo:
Considering the timing of the photo shoot, Cheng Qianfan judged that Hiroyuki Taniguchi and the others should have just disembarked and came to Shanghai, and Ryono Sakamoto came to pick up the boat.

In addition, because Song Fuguo arrived in Shanghai, Cheng Qianfan investigated the ship that arrived in Shanghai that morning, and only one ship arrived at that time, and it was the ship that Song Fuguo was on.

As the person receiving the boat, Sakamoto Yoshino naturally knew the identity of Hiroichi Taniguchi's group.

Maybe we can find out relevant information from Sakamoto Ryono?

Imamura Heutaro regards Sakamoto Ryono as his nephew, and there is even a guest bedroom in Imamura Heutaro's home specially reserved for Sakamoto Ryono.

Moreover, Sakamoto Yoshino is the youngest son of Sakamoto Nagayuki, and Sakamoto Nagayuki is a famous scholar with the same reputation as Hiroyuki Taniguchi. The two have some friendship, so Imamura Hyoutaro will definitely invite Sakamoto Ryono to the dinner tonight.

……

Cheng Qianfan took a puff of cigarette lightly, he was thinking about it.

He couldn't ask Sakamoto Yoshino for relevant information, so he could only listen in on the side attack without arousing the other party's suspicion.

The most important thing is that he should avoid hearing the news of Hiroyuki Taniguchi's coming to Shanghai from Sakamoto Yoshino, otherwise, he would have no reason to miss the dinner.

However, how to obtain the required information without knowing the news of Hiroyuki Taniguchi's arrival in Shanghai?

It's very difficult, almost unmanageable.

At this time, Cheng Qianfan began to realize that he had subconsciously avoided and missed the dinner.

He frowned.

This was his subconscious choice to avoid this matter, his lack of preparation for tonight's dinner, and the foreseeable great danger.

Or, to put it bluntly, he had no idea.

……

"Brother Fan, what's the matter?" Haozi glanced at the rearview mirror, saw Brother Fan's serious expression, and couldn't help asking.

"As I expected, Hiroyuki Taniguchi is the distinguished guest hosted by Heutaro Imamura tonight," Cheng Qianfan said.

"What?" Li Hao was shocked, subconsciously stepped on the brakes.

"Calm down." Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Haozi forced himself to remain calm and continued to drive, "Brother Fan, Hiroshi Taniguchi just..."

"Yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded, rubbing the space between his brows, "There is no such thing as a good banquet."

"Brother Fan, you can't go." Hiroko frowned and said, "This person is Miyazaki Kentaro's teacher, and he knows Miyazaki Kentaro too well."

Cheng Qianfan put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, "Taniguchi's arrival was too sudden. Although I have prepared for this day, I have to admit that those preparations are not enough to deal with the direct contact with Taniguchi. .”

"Brother Fan, you can't go." Haozi frowned and thought, "Today, find a reason to deal with it, pass this test, and then find a way to kill Taniguchi as soon as possible."

Cheng Qianfan didn't speak, he took a cigarette from the cigarette holder, but it was empty.

In order to control the number of cigarettes he smokes now, he usually only puts five cigarettes in the cigarette holder.

"Haoko, smoke."

"Brother Fan." Li Hao took out a cigarette case from his pocket and handed it over.

……

Cheng Qianfan took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, did not smoke it immediately, but held the cigarette in one hand and flicked it a few times in the palm of the other hand.

Just after flicking the cigarette a few times, the expression in his eyes changed, exuding determination, more precisely, a decisive light.

"Haozi, you're right, I can't go to the dinner today, I have to find an excuse to break the appointment." Cheng Qianfan said.

Hearing what Brother Fan said, a smile appeared on Li Hao's face, and he was also relieved in his heart. He was really worried that Brother Fan would take risks.

"As for Hiroyuki Taniguchi, you are right, we must get rid of it as soon as possible." Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, exhaled the smoke through his nostrils, and continued with a relaxed and relieved expression, "However, it's not too late Let's do it again today, but do it today."

"Brother Fan, you give the order." Li Hao said directly, he didn't ask why Cheng Qianfan chose to do it today, since Brother Fan has already made a decision, there is a reason for Brother Fan, all he has to do is obey orders .

Cheng Qianfan raised his wrist and looked at the time:

It's a quarter past two in the afternoon.

"Call someone." Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice.

"Understood." Haozi nodded.

On the side of a road, Li Hao parked his car. He came to a grocery store where he could make phone calls. He first bought a pack of cigarettes, then grabbed the receiver and shook the handle.

In less than 2 minutes, Haozi returned to the car, "Brother Fan, the signal has been sent."

"Let's go." Cheng Qianfan nodded.

The signal sent by Haozi was the action signal Cheng Qianfan had set for himself in an emergency situation. After the signal was sent out, Qiao Chuntao and Haozi would immediately rush to the agreed place to gather.

Tao Zi was 'ill' during this period and was unable to perform on stage, while Hao Zai was cruising nearby. The two were on high alert and belonged to the closest mobile force.

This is Cheng Qianfan's emergency plan for Song Fuguo's arrival in Shanghai and the subsequent investigation of Mei Shenping and Gao Qingwu's actions.
As the saying goes, it was unintentional, and I didn't expect this emergency plan to be used so quickly.

……

26 minute later.

And on November 27, [-]th year of the Republic of China, at [-]:[-] pm.

Haozai and Qiao Chuntao secretly came to Li Hao's home.

Cheng Qianfan briefly described the current situation.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Haozai, "Haozai, how is the situation with Huazi?"

"Huazi is very smart and good at dealing with affairs. Now he and Fang Hui are called brothers and sisters." Haozai said, "Huazi often speaks ill of Brother Fan in front of Fang Hui, which makes Fang Hui want to kill Huazi. burnt yellow paper on the head."

"Huazi hasn't been exposed, right?" Cheng Qianfan asked.

"No." Hao Zai shook his head, "Fang Hui only knows that Hua Zi is from Zhang Xiaolin, and he doesn't know anything else."

"Go now and give Huazi an order in my name that he must encourage Fang Hui to attack me, at least let Fang Hui take part in the action." Cheng Qianfan said, "I will appear in Xianshi in two and a half hours. In front of the department store."

"Yes."

"Repeat it again." Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice.

"I conveyed to Hua Zi the order of Team Leader Xiao. Cheng Qianfan will show up at the door of Xianshi Department Store in two and a half hours. Hua Zi must encourage and persuade Fang Hui to do something to Cheng Qianfan." Hao Zai said.

"Very good." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "As for how to confuse Fang Hui, follow the established plan, I don't need to say more."

"Yes." Hao Zai nodded, and then showed a worried look, "Brother Fan, although we are prepared, in case..."

"There's no chance." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "He has no chance of hurting me."

With that said, he looked at the time on his watch, "Time is running out, so go quickly."

"Yes!"

……

Arranging for someone to assassinate him is the least revealing way Cheng Qianfan can think of to 'break an appointment'.

He had already arranged for his subordinate Hua Bingren to join Zhang Xiaolin's New Asia Peace Promotion Association. Huazi is from Songjiang. He grew up in Shanghai. Suspect.

Hua Bingren deliberately approaches and wins over Xia Wenqiao's subordinate Fang Hui.

After Cheng Qianfan arranged for someone to break a leg, although Xia Wenqiao found a famous orthopedic doctor in Shanghai to fix the broken bone for Fang Hui, Fang Hui was still in trouble.

This person hated Cheng Qianfan to the bone.

And because Xia Wenqiao wants to continue to cooperate with Cheng Qianfan in business, and because the power of "Little Cheng Boss" is growing, he strictly orders Fang Hui not to have any thoughts of revenge.

Fang Hui agreed on the surface, but in his heart even Xia Wenqiao hated him.

In this case, Zhang Xiaolin's subordinate Hua Bingren came to contact him in private, Fang Hui naturally would not reject it.

With Fang Hui in hand, 'Xiao Mian' can issue a sanction order against 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' at any time, and it is a double method of blaming:

Xiao Mian blamed Zhang Xiaolin.

But Zhang Xiaolin's people 'blamed' Xia Wenqiao.

only--

Cheng Qianfan shook his head.

This dark hand was painstakingly managed by him, and it was a pity to use it so early, but the matter was urgent and he couldn't take care of it so much.

……

Hao Zai's task is to create an assassination incident, so that he has a good reason to miss the dinner.

This is just the first step.

The second step is to deal with Hiroyuki Taniguchi.

"According to what I know about the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, they will arrange Hiroyuki Taniguchi and his party in the guest house." Cheng Qianfan looked at Qiao Chuntao, "The Consulate General has two guest houses, one is the Sakura Guest House which is closer to the Consulate General, The other one is the Fuji Guest House which is a little far away."

"Leader, Yoshino Sakamoto is responsible for picking up the ship, so he should be the one who arranged the board and lodging for Hiroshi Taniguchi and his party?" Qiao Chuntao asked thoughtfully, "Ryono Sakamoto should be responsible for picking up Hiroshi Taniguchi and his party for today's dinner. Did you go to Imamura Heutaro's house for a banquet?"

A satisfied smile appeared on Cheng Qianfan's face, as expected of his beloved peach.

"Haozi, tell Taozi the license plate of Ryono Sakamoto." Cheng Qianfan turned to Haozi and said.

Although Li Hao is not very literate, he has a good memory, especially sensitive to letters and numbers.

"It's a good idea, but maybe it's too late." After speaking, Cheng Qianfan looked at his watch and picked up the phone.

"For the Office of the Fourth Secretary of the Consulate General of Japan in Shanghai, ask Sakamoto Yoshino."

……

The call was quickly connected.

"I'm Ryono Sakamoto, who are you?"

"Sakamoto-kun, it's me, Cheng Qianfan."

"It turned out to be Mr. Cheng, may I ask you for something?" Sakamoto Ryono said, with a patient smile on his face, obviously the other party was his good friend Miyazaki Kentaro, but now he had to cooperate that the other party was a famous young man. Mr. Cheng's identity, this kind of behavior similar to that of an agent, made Sakamoto Ryono have a strong sense of participation, and found it very interesting and exciting.

"Mr. Imamura invited me to dinner tonight, and would like to ask if Sakamoto-kun is going with you?"

"Yes, I'm going to the banquet tonight." Sakamoto Yoshino said with a smile, "Cheng Jun, I'm still at work, see you tonight."

"See you tonight, Sakamoto-kun."

……

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Qianfan looked at Qiao Chuntao, "Do you understand?"

"Understood." Qiao Chuntao took out his pocket watch to check the time, then nodded, "Hiroyuki Taniguchi and the others are most likely in the Sakura Guest House."

It was already [-]:[-] p.m., and Sakamoto Yoshino was still working safely at the consulate general.

In terms of time, in about an hour, Sakamoto Yoshino should set off early to see Hiroyuki Taniguchi.

Calculating from the time and distance, it is basically unlikely that Hiroyuki Taniguchi and others were arranged in the Fuji Guest House, which is far away from the Consulate General.

"Sakamoto Yoshino rushed to the guest house ahead of time, this is due courtesy."

"However, Hiroyuki Taniguchi is a proud person, he will not arrive at the dinner party ahead of time." Cheng Qianfan analyzed, "Therefore, even if Yoshino Sakamoto arrives at the guest house ahead of time, he still needs to wait for an hour to an hour and a half About an hour."

He mused, "Hiroyuki Taniguchi will take a bath, put on a new clean and tidy outfit, and then maybe ask Yoshino Sakamoto to play chess and drink tea with him."

As he spoke, he looked at the time on his watch, "There are still two to two and a half hours left, and we must race against the clock."

"Yes!" Qiao Chuntao said.

"Who are you going to arrange for?" Cheng Qianfan asked in a deep voice.

"Xie Liaosha." Qiao Chuntao had made up his mind and replied immediately.

Cheng Qianfan nodded solemnly, "A good candidate."

"Go ahead," he said.

"Yes!"

……

two hours later.

Xian Shi Department Store.

Fang Hui hid in a corner across the road, staring fixedly at the main entrance of the department store.

From a distance, he saw 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' coming out of the department store under the guard of two subordinates.

"Brother Fan, I'm going to drive." Haozi said.

"Go." Cheng Qianfan nodded.

Then he touched the cigarette clip, opened it to look at it, frowned, and told another subordinate next to him, "Old Nine, go buy me a pack of cigarettes."

Lu Jiu said yes, and walked towards the cigarette stand on the side of the road.

What a godsend.

Seeing that there was no bodyguard beside Cheng Qianfan, Fang Hui was overjoyed.

He wore a peaked cap on his head, lowered his head, and limped, walking towards Cheng Qianfan.

close!
Getting closer!
The joy in Fang Hui's heart almost jumped out of his body.

He touched his arms.

At this moment, 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' also noticed Fang Hui who was walking over.

"Fang Hui?" Cheng Qianfan was surprised.

Then, Mr. Xiao Cheng's complexion changed drastically, and he touched his arms subconsciously.

Fang Hui was in a hurry, and immediately took out the pistol from his arms, raised the gun and shot.

At this moment, Hou Pingliang rushed out from Cheng Qianfan's side, he stood in front of Cheng Qianfan, raised his gun and shot.

……

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Continuous gunfire.

Fang Hui was shot in the chest continuously, the gun fell to the ground, and others fell to the ground.

Hou Pingliang rushed forward and kicked the gun away from the ground.

Here, Lu Jiufan and Li Hao also ran over desperately, and they both looked at Fang Hui who was lying on the ground, and they were afraid for a while.

Haozi came over to support the pale-faced 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' who leaned against the wall and was still afraid.

Hou Pingliang picked up the pistol on the ground and checked it, "Brother Fan, it's a Nanfang pistol, it's jammed."

……

Cherry Blossom Guest House.

Hiroichi Taniguchi in a suit and leather shoes walked out of the gate of the guest house first, and beside him were Ryono Sakamoto, Haruko, Masahiro Hachime and others.

The car stopped on the side of the road.

"Sir, do you want a camera?" A young man with a western face came over, with his right hand in his briefcase, revealing a corner of the camera.

"Which country are you from?" Hiroyuki Taniguchi asked with interest. He was inexplicably happy to see a poor Westerner selling cameras on the street.

Then, his eyes were full of fear.

Sergey put down the camera, quickly took out a short gun from the briefcase, aimed at Hiroyuki Taniguchi and shot directly:
Bang!
Bang!
Two shots were fired.
