"Miyazaki-kun, who do you think it will be?" Kawada Atsuto asked directly.
He knew Yamauchi Jun'ya, who was just a sergeant in the gendarmerie. With Cheng Qianfan's status and influence in the French Concession, most importantly, many people in the gendarmerie knew that Cheng Qianfan and Kawada Atsuto were friends.
Therefore, with Yamauchi Junye's level, he would not dare to take action against Cheng Qianfan unless there was someone else behind him instructing him.
Therefore, the exposed Yamauchi Junya is not important. What is important is the person behind Yamauchi Junya.
"I don't know." Cheng Qianfan shook his head. "Fei Xianda only told me about Pang Huan. He is the brother-in-law of Zhang Xiaolin's sworn brother Tai Shi Jingqi."
He said to Kawada Atsuto, "However, Fei Xianda only confessed that he had contact with Pang Huan, and did not confess that he was instructed by Taishi Jingqi. Then, before the interrogation could continue, Fei Xianda was poisoned to death."
"Did Zhang Xiaolin send people to silence us?" asked Sakamoto Ryouno.
Because Miyazaki mentioned Zhang Xiaolin many times when chatting with him, he was very aware of the bad relationship between the two.
"It's very likely." Cheng Qianfan shook his head and said, "Except for Zhang Xiaolin, I can't think of anyone who can reach the police station and kill someone in such a short time."
"So, we now have every reason to suspect that it was Zhang Xiaolin who arranged for someone to do it." Kawada Atsuto pondered and said, "Moreover, for this assassination, Zhang Xiaolin also received help from some people within the empire, or tacit approval."
"At the moment, this possibility is highly likely." Cheng Qianfan nodded.
……
"I've heard people mention Zhang Xiaolin, but I don't know much about him." Onodera Masago said thoughtfully, "Mr. Miyazaki, can you tell me about this person?"
"Zhang Xiaolin is a man who only cares about profit. As the Chinese say, he is a man who will do anything for whoever feeds him and has no loyalty at all," said Cheng Qianfan.
Afterwards, he gave Onodera Masago a relatively detailed introduction to the three Shanghai tycoons, especially focusing on Zhang Xiaolin.
"He was found dead." Onodera Masago nodded. "If what Miyazaki said is true, this man is not loyal to the Empire. He is a Chinese who only sees benefits."
"Yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded. "Ishizaka Ryotaro also asked me to hand over the suspect in the bombing. His reason was that the explosion caused chaos at the dock, which gave the Chongqing elements they wanted to arrest a chance to escape."
"Mr. Miyazaki suspects that there is another hidden story behind the explosion, and its purpose is to help the Chongqing elements at the dock escape?" Onodera Masago immediately grasped the key point.
"Zhang Xiaolin has long wanted to get rid of me. The bomb attack was aimed at me. This is very clear." Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression, "As for whether there are other purposes for this bomb attack, such as helping the Chongqing elements escape, this requires further investigation to determine."
His brows were furrowed. "However, if the bomb assassination itself was indeed suspected of helping the Chongqing elements at the dock to escape, then our previous suspicion that Ishizaka Ryotaro might have been involved in the assassination of me does not make sense."
Kawada Atsuto nodded.
If Ishizaka Ryotaro was indeed instructed by someone to help Zhang Xiaolin "get rid of Cheng Qianfan", this makes sense. However, it does not make sense to say that Ishizaka Ryotaro deliberately let the Chongqing elements go.
Participating in the assassination of Cheng Qianfan was a personal act, but he did not think that the Imperial Military Police would let the Chongqing elements go, as that would be a serious act of treason.
……
"Is there such a possibility?" Onodera Changwu analyzed, "Ishizaka Ryotaro or other people inside the empire did participate in or acquiesce in Zhang Xiaolin's assassination of Miyazaki-kun, but they were not aware that Zhang Xiaolin had secretly communicated with Chongqing. Were they also deceived and used?"
Cheng Qianfan did not speak immediately. He frowned, as if he was seriously thinking about the possibility analyzed by Onodera Masago.
"Many people within the empire, including some people in various agencies and the military, have a high opinion of Zhang Xiaolin. Perhaps it is due to preconceived factors. Since Du Yongsheng fled Shanghai and Huang Jingrong also closed his door to visitors, they have a high degree of recognition and good impression of Zhang Xiaolin who took the initiative to surrender to the empire." Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression.
He looked at Onodera Masago, smiled bitterly and said, "It is because Onodera-kun has just arrived in Shanghai and has not been influenced by the various aspects of Shanghai's complicated relationships and interests that he can look at the problem more rationally and objectively and come to such a judgment."
After hearing what Kentaro Miyazaki said, Onodera Masago nodded.
He understood what Miyasaki Kentaro meant. For various reasons, people in Shanghai trusted Zhang Xiaolin more, or perhaps because they needed him, they were unwilling to believe that Zhang Xiaolin was disloyal to the empire and secretly connected with Chongqing.
On the contrary, as a newcomer, he was not disturbed by other aspects and was able to make more objective judgments and analyses.
"Onodera-kun." Kawada Atsuto looked at Onodera Masago.
"Master Atsuto."
"If it is true as you analyzed, that Zhang Xiaolin secretly colluded with Chongqing and even used some stupid guys in the empire to rescue the Chongqing elements, the nature of this matter is extremely bad." Kawada Atsuto said with a serious expression.
Onodera Changgo nodded with a serious expression. This was exactly what he was most worried about.
……
"Mr. Miyazaki had a grudge against Zhang Xiaolin, and he was assassinated by Zhang Xiaolin. It was him who investigated and took revenge on Zhang Xiaolin. No one can blame him for this." Atsuto Kawada looked at Kentaro Miyazaki again.
"I have sent people to investigate secretly." Cheng Qianfan's eyes were full of hatred and murderous intent. "At the same time, the police station has already sealed off Zhang Xiaolin's gambling den and salt house in the French Concession."
"Very good." Kawada Atsuto nodded, "You can act more boldly and with more fanfare."
"I understand." Cheng Qianfan nodded thoughtfully.
"Onodera-kun." Kawada Atsuto looked at Onodera Masago.
"Master Atsuto."
"Regarding the Imperial agent who goes by the alias Jixianglin mentioned by Miyazaki-kun, and the military police sergeant Yamauchi Junya behind him," Kawada Atsuto said, "as well as Ishizaka Ryotaro and other related people, I will leave it to you to secretly investigate."
"I understand." Onodera Masago nodded.
"Miyazaki-kun's actions are in the open," Kawada Atsuto said in a deep voice, "Onodera-kun's investigation is in the dark. At the same time, you have to find a way to find out the connection between Zhang Xiaolin and certain people in the empire, and focus on investigating the evidence of Zhang Xiaolin's possible secret communication with Chongqing."
As he spoke, he clapped his hands. "So, one is bright and the other is dark. This time, we not only want to seek justice for Miyazaki-kun, but also to find out those who are disloyal to the empire and those stupid people who are being used by others. We can even not rule out the possibility that there are rats hiding inside the empire."
Kawada Atsuto clenched his fists, "Pull these people out and catch them all in one fell swoop."
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
Cheng Qianfan and Onodera Masago stood up at the same time and said with serious expressions.
