My years of espionage

Chapter 732 An Assist from Friend Araki (Two Chapters in One)

"Professor Taniguchi's murder case, you should stop participating." Imamura Heitaro said.

"Hayi." Cheng Qianfan said respectfully without the slightest hesitation.

"Aren't you curious about the reason?" Heitaro Imamura looked at Kentaro Miyazaki and asked.

"If the teacher thinks he can tell the students, he will naturally tell me." Cheng Qianfan smiled. "If it involves confidentiality, it will make the teacher embarrassed if the students ask."

Looking at Miyazaki Kentaro, who was respectful and extremely 'considerate' to himself, Imamura Heitaro was satisfied, he sighed, shook his head and said, "It's not really a secret."

He asked Miyazaki Kentaro, "There are conflicts between you and Kotsu Naito?"

"Probably not." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, but his expression was a bit bitter.

"Huh?" Imamura Heutaro frowned slightly.

"Teacher, you are well aware of the student's personality. Students treat their friends sincerely. Although the relationship between the student and Mr. Naito is not close, he feels that he has not offended Mr. Naito." Cheng Qianfan showed a hesitant expression.

"Just say what you want." Imamura Heutaro said in a deep voice.

"The student didn't feel that there was any problem with Naito-kun before, but..." Cheng Qianfan smiled wryly, and continued, "When I went to see off Mr. Taniguchi today, Araki-kun from the special high class told me something. .”

Then he told about Araki Harima and Naito Kotsuba who he mentioned gave him feedback and suspected that he had a problem.

"I see." Heutaro Imamura nodded, "Your Excellency the Consul General called, and Naito told him some questions about you. After careful consideration, Your Excellency the Consul General asked you to temporarily leave the investigation team of the assassination of Professor Taniguchi."

……

"Teacher, the students really don't understand why Naito-kun misunderstood me so deeply." Cheng Qianfan's expression was sad.

"It should be to vent your anger." Imamura Heitaro said, "There is one thing you may not know, Naito Kobasa is Nagatomo-kun's nephew."

Cheng Qianfan was silent, and after a while, he frowned and said, "Teacher, what you mean is that Teacher Changyou was assassinated with me, and he blamed me for not protecting Teacher Changyou well?"

"Maybe." Imamura Heitaro patted Miyazaki Kentaro on the shoulder, "Naito's parents died young, and Naito-kun brought him up. His affection for Nagtomo-kun is extremely deep, so..."

He pondered and pondered, "I hope you can understand, and don't blame Naito too much."

"Teacher." Cheng Qianfan expressed helplessness and resentment, "I am very sad about the death of Teacher Changyou, but objectively speaking, the murderer should be targeting Teacher Changyou. Shot and wounded..."

Heitaro Imamura nodded, he understood what Miyazaki Kentaro did not say, Kentaro meant that his injury was actually implicated by the assassination of Nagatomo Ino, not that he was implicated in Nagatomo Ino.

"Tell me something truthful, before the day of the assassination, did you know that Changtomo-kun came to Shanghai?" Heitaro Imamura asked with a serious expression, looking at Kentaro Miyazaki.

Cheng Qianfan looked bewildered, "Teacher, I don't understand..."

……

"Naito has been secretly investigating the murder of Changyou-kun. He found out a case that happened before Changyou-kun was killed." Heitaro Imamura said, "No. 16 in Taojia Lane, Sun Zhijie, the fiancé of Tao Cuifang, the daughter of Tao Xu, was kidnapped One case, do you have any impression?"

"Tao's Lane, Tao Xu's family, Tao Cuifang." Cheng Qianfan thought, "I have the impression that Tao Cuifang's fiancé, Sun Zhijie, was kidnapped, and there was no news about him afterwards."

As he said that, he looked at Imamura Heutaro puzzledly, "Teacher, what does this kidnapping case have to do with Naito-kun?"

"Naito found out that Sun Zhijie and his girlfriend Tao Cuifang once had double eyelid surgery at Changtomo-kun." Imamura Heutaro said, "He thought you knew about Changtomo-kun coming to Shanghai before the assassination of Changtomo-kun happened. .”

"I don't understand the logic of Naito-kun's suspicion of me." Cheng Qianfan expressed angrily, "Sun Zhijie's kidnapping indeed happened before Mr. Changyou's assassination, but what does this mean?"

He paced around with an irritable expression, "Teacher, I really can't understand, and I can't accept Naito-kun's suspicion and misunderstanding of me."

"Tell me about the kidnapping of Sun Zhijie." Imamura Heutaro said.

"After Sun Zhijie was kidnapped, we conducted investigations and suspected that his kidnapping was related to the Jiang Mule Gang." Cheng Qianfan explained, "The patrol room later received information that the Jiang Mule Gang targeted the kidnapping at the clinic, Between patients undergoing double eyelid surgery in the hospital."

"Why are these people targeted?" Heitaro Imamura asked.

"The Jiang mule gang is rampant, and some rich men in the French Concession are in danger, and most of them have increased bodyguards. This has brought trouble to the kidnapping of the Jiang mule gang, so they locked their eyes on people like Tao Cuifang. Assets, but little citizens who have no protection power."

"I see." Imamura Heutaro nodded.

……

"At the beginning, the patrol room didn't know that Sun Zhijie was accompanied by Tao Cuifang to undergo double eyelid surgery at Teacher Changyou in the police hospital, because there was an attempted kidnapping case before, and this person had double eyelid surgery in Renkang Hospital, so my men thought at first that Tao Cuifang also underwent double eyelid surgery at Renkang Hospital."

After a pause, Cheng Qianfan said, "Actually, if there hadn't been a shootout when Sun Zhijie was kidnapped and Liang Yuchun's department was short-staffed, my San Xun would not have been involved in the kidnapping of Sun Zhijie."

He looked at Imamura Heitaro, "Teacher, you should still remember that I reported to you earlier that Liang Yuchun was competing with me for the position of deputy chief inspector of the Central Police Department. This person does not have a good relationship with me."

Cheng Qianfan had a gloomy expression, "A few days after my subordinates investigated the kidnapping of Sun Zhijie, I met Mr. Changyou for the first time in the Special Higher Class, and we were assassinated together that day."

He was a little irritable, "My subordinates once went to the police hospital to find Dr. Mao Kexin, who is the disguised identity of Teacher Changyou. I didn't know this at the time."

Seeing that Miyazaki Kentaro was incoherent because of his anger, Imamura Heitaro said in a deep voice, "Kentaro, I don't doubt you, don't be emotional."

"Yes!" Cheng Qianfan looked better when he heard the words, and he continued, "I didn't go to this matter in person, it was my subordinates who went to the police hospital, but at that time Dr. Mao Kexin was out of business and stopped working. Hu didn't see Dr. Mao Kexin."

"Teacher, Lu Hu is a spy for the empire's secret development. He can prove for me that I don't know anything about this doctor Mao Kexin, nor have I met him before."

As he said that, he said angrily, "If Naito-kun still suspects that I knew the news that Mr. Changyou was in Shanghai before that, I have nothing to say."

He looked at Imamura Heitaro, "I don't understand why Naito-kun suspects me, not to mention that I didn't know Changyou-sensei was in Shanghai before, and I didn't know that Dr. Mao Kexin was Changyou-sensei."

He said angrily, "Even if I knew that Teacher Changyou came to Shanghai, I would only be very happy to reunite with the teacher after many years. Why would I secretly harm the teacher?"

As he spoke, he muttered angrily again, "It's unreasonable."

……

"I understand." Imamura Heutaro nodded slightly, "I will report this matter to the Consul General and explain it to you."

After listening to Miyazaki Kentaro's explanation, he still chose to believe Kentaro. As Miyazaki Kentaro said, before the day Nagatomo Sushio was assassinated, Kentaro had never met Nagatomo Sushio at all, and did not know that he came to Shanghai secretly.

What's more, Miyazaki Kentaro had no reason to harm Nagatomo.

As far as he knew, Miyazaki Kentaro and Changyou Shinan were not familiar with each other before, but they had a teacher-student friendship for a short period of time.

"The teacher is trustworthy, and the students are very grateful." Cheng Qianfan said excitedly, and then he showed a trace of solemn thought.

"What's wrong?" Imamura Heutaro asked.

Cheng Qianfan showed a bit of embarrassment, "In order to arrest the Jiang mule gang, my subordinates once arrested several suspects in a dance hall."

He smiled embarrassedly, "Later, after careful investigation by the patrol room, these people had nothing to do with the ginger mule gang. The bail report was sent to my desk, and I signed and agreed."

Heitaro Imamura took a look at Kentaro Miyazaki, and he already guessed that his money-loving student should go to the dance hall to arrest people in the name of arresting the ginger mule gang, intimidate him, and then blackmail the bail.

"Later, two months after Teacher Changyou was assassinated, some of them were also kidnapped and disappeared." Cheng Qianfan said.

"Later, I learned from the head of the three books that the missing person was a latent agent of the Imperial West Village class." As he spoke, he showed embarrassment.

"I have an impression, I remember you reported this to me at the time." Heitaro Imamura nodded, and he glanced at Kentaro Miyazaki, "However, you only talked about the Nishimura class at that time, and did not mention it. People have been captured by your men before."

Cheng Qianfan didn't make any excuses, he scratched his head, the embarrassment on his face became more intense.

Imamura Heutaro snorted, and he understood the reason:

He is a decent person, and Kentaro knows that he doesn't like this kind of rude behavior of extorting bail money. In view of this, Kentaro naturally dare not mention this matter to him.

……

"As for the assassination of Professor Hiroyuki Taniguchi, I personally think that the suspicion of Miyazaki-kun can be ruled out."

"First of all, the motive. Mr. Miyazaki has no motive to kill Professor Hiroyuki Taniguchi at all."

"As far as I know, Miyazaki-kun respects Professor Taniguchi very much. Of course, maybe because the professor is strict with him, it makes it difficult for Miyazaki-kun to get close to the professor."

As he said that, Araki Harima thought for a while, and chose a more accurate word, "It is the kind of respect that students have for the strict teacher with a trace of alienation."

"Miyazaki-kun went to see Professor Taniguchi in the morgue of the hospital, and I could feel the sadness and pain in his heart." Araki Harima said to Sanben Jiro, "Miyazaki-kun said, 'Only when you really lose can you know how to cherish'. "

As he spoke, he sighed and said, "This sentence should be the truest psychological portrayal of Miyazaki-kun now."

Sanben Jiro nodded slightly. In addition to having no motive, the most important thing is that Miyazaki Kentaro did not know the news of Hiroyuki Taniguchi's secret arrival in Shanghai. The news that two members of the 'Pen Troop' came to Shanghai from Hong Kong.

Miyazaki Kentaro had no motive, and secondly, he didn't know anything about it. Basically, the suspicion can be ruled out first.

Araki Harima judged that it was Naito Kotsuba who angered Miyazaki Kentaro because of the death of Nagatomo Satsuo, which is somewhat reasonable.

……

At this moment, the phone on the desk rang.

Sanben Jiro had a serious expression on his face. Usually, only important people with the same status as him, as well as officers of the military department and staff headquarters would make this call.

He stood up and picked up the phone with a serious expression.

"I'm Jiro Sanben."

"Imamura-kun? You still haven't rested at this late hour?"

"Hahaha, isn't Imamura-kun also working late at night? Yes, the pace of the empire's conquest is making great strides. For the sake of the great cause of the empire, I will wait for you to forget food and sleep..."

"Okay, I know about this."

"The light of Showa shines on the universe, Imamura-kun rests earlier."

After hanging up the phone, Jiro Sanben looked at Harima Araki with a pensive look, and said, "Counselor Imamura from the Consulate General called. The Consulate General believes that Miyazaki Kentaro is not suitable to continue investigating the assassination of Hiroyuki Taniguchi for the time being."

"What?" Araki Harima was extremely surprised, "Could it be that Miyazaki-kun really has a problem?"

"Probably not." Sanben Jiro shook his head and said, "Miyazaki is by Imamura-kun's side now."

Araki Harima was stunned, he nodded, Imamura Heitaro was able to make this call in front of Miyazaki Kentaro, and directly pointed this out to Sanben Jiro, which naturally shows that Miyazaki-kun has no problem, Imamura has no problem with Miyazaki is trusted.

This is also Heitaro Imamura using such a gesture to convey his trust in Miyazaki-kun, so as not to cause misunderstanding and misjudgment here.

"Is it possible that it is an internal problem of the Consulate General?" Araki Harima asked, "Could it be that Naito Tsubasa did something behind the scenes?"

"There is such a possibility." Sanben Jiro nodded and said.

Miyazaki Kentaro is at Imamura at this moment, and he should be reporting the situation to Imamura.

Sanben Jiro was not dissatisfied with this, because it was his arrangement that Miyazaki got close to Imamura Heutaro, and at this moment, he caught a detail from this phone call from Imamura:
Miyazaki came to his place first, and then went to Imamura Heutaro's, and he was very pleased with this.

"Although my subordinates don't have much contact with Naito, Naito gives me the feeling that he has an obsession. In Shina's words, he just doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back." Araki Harima glanced at Sanben Jiro and said in a timely manner.

"idiot."

Sanben Jiro shook his head and snorted coldly.

The nerds of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the stupid fools, the narrow-minded, the people who don't know what is right and what is wrong.

……

Just then, the phone rang again.

This is another phone.

Araki Harima took the initiative to pick up the microphone, "I am Araki Harima."

"Okay, I see." Araki Harima frowned slightly, he hung up the phone and looked at Sanben Jiro, "Section Manager, it's Wang Kangnian calling."

"What's the matter?" Sanben Jiro asked.

"Cao Binsheng, the plainclothes deputy inspector of the police station in Fuxi District, was killed." Araki Harima said, "Cao Binsheng himself and two of his subordinates were shot dead in the street at the entrance of Shuanglongfang Apartment on Jinshifu Road."

"Have you found out who did it?" Sanben Jiro's expression was gloomy. Cao Binsheng was a "talent" developed by him and joined the empire, and he was a tentacle of the super high school extending to Fuxi District.

Now that Cao Binsheng was killed, Sanben Jiro was naturally furious.

"There was black and white writing on the scene, which was written about the fate of 'traitors'." Araki Harima said, "It's like the practice of the Chongqing Military Command."

……

"Thank you, teacher." Cheng Qianfan bowed to Imamura Heutaro, and when he raised his head, his eyes sparkled with emotion.

Imamura Heutaro personally called Sanben Jiro, and directly told him that he was by his side. This is equivalent to Imamura Heutaro personally endorsed him, so that he would not be affected by being "expelled" from the investigation team.

"Teacher loves you, student..." He wiped the corners of his eyes as he said, "Teacher, thanks to you, you are Kentaro's only relative now."

Heitaro Imamura was very relieved, and patted his student on the shoulder, "I have always regarded you as my son-in-law, so naturally I want to protect you."

Miyazaki Kentaro became more and more moved.

The phone rang suddenly, interrupting the sincere and moving picture of the teacher and student.

"what?"

"Okay, I know."

After hanging up the phone, Imamura Hyoutaro turned his head to look at Miyazaki Kentaro, with surprise in his eyes.

Then he stood up and adjusted his clothes, and said seriously, "Kentaro, I have something to tell you."

Cheng Qianfan also quickly tidied up his clothes, and stood up respectfully, "Teacher, tell me."

"Professor Hiroyuki Taniguchi is a well-known scholar in the empire and enjoys a high reputation both at home and abroad. The Consulate General, the military department, and the cabinet chiefs were deeply shocked and angry at the fact that he was assassinated by gangsters in Shanghai and unfortunately died. Very regrettable."

Heutaro Imamura said in a deep voice, "The Consulate General will set up a mourning hall for Professor Hiroyuki Taniguchi, and invite people from all walks of life to come to express their condolences. Important people from the empire, including Consul General Eiichi Iwai and Chief of the Military Affairs Section of the Ministry of Army, Mr. Kagesa, will come to pay their respects. Taniguchi-kun sees you off."
