Chapter 1602: Qianbei Remnants
Cheng Qianfan was truly shocked.
It's definitely not acting.
The guy Sheng Shuyu, who had not been mentioned before, not only cut off Toda Seiichiro's head, but also cut off Toda Seiichiro's hind head.
Seeing Miyazaki Kentaro almost jumping up from his seat in shock, Umezumi Saeki nodded seriously, "It is true."
"Inhumane! Inhumane!" Cheng Qianfan was extremely angry and shouted, "They actually humiliated a respectable imperial general like this. It's simply insane!"
"Commander Ikeuchi was extremely angry. He has ordered a thorough investigation and manhunt to bring all the perpetrators of the attack on the Pukou Hotel to justice." Saeki Umezumi said, "In addition, the commander specifically pointed out that the head and... the head of Brigade Commander Toda must be recovered."
The head of a great imperial major general was cut off by the enemy, which was a great shame and humiliation. Originally, only Commander Ikeuchi, himself, and military doctor Kawanishi Ainosuke knew about this. However, in order to search and recover the head and the head, they could not do without the secret help of Miyazaki Kentaro, the deputy chief inspector of the Central Police Station in the French Concession, so he had to tell Miyazaki Kentaro the truth.
"It must be recovered!" Cheng Qianfan was filled with righteous indignation, "The body of a dignified imperial general must not suffer such a mutilated humiliation!"
He looked at Umezu Sakami and said seriously, "Sakami-kun, what do you need me to do?"
"The French Concession is your territory, and Miyazaki's men are always well-informed." Saejo Umezumi said, "We believe that the enemy is likely to hide in the French Concession after the operation, so we need Miyazaki's men to secretly gather information and pay attention to assisting in the investigation of suspicious persons."
"This is my job." Cheng Qianfan nodded and said.
……
"There is one more thing." Saegi Umezumi glanced at Miyazaki Kentaro and said, "According to the testimony of the survivors of the Urakuchi Hotel last night, one of the attackers should have sneaked into the Urakuchi Hotel under the guise of celebrating a birthday."
"General Toda's birthday party and the grand banquet for the guests have given the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of," said Cheng Qianfan with a sigh.
"One of them claimed to be a representative of Jiujiu Trading. He was commissioned by you to come to the birthday party to celebrate your birthday and give gifts." said Umezumi Saeaki.
His eyes were fixed on Miyazaki Kentaro. It was not that he had any doubts about Miyazaki Kentaro. He had analyzed it carefully and believed that this matter should have nothing to do with Miyazaki Kentaro. However, this matter itself was indeed an investigation clue. Out of the principle of doubting everything, he subconsciously became more alert.
"How dare they!" Cheng Qianfan was furious. "How dare they impersonate me and use my name!"
Cheng Qianfan was extremely angry, even angrier than when he heard that the corpse of the Empire's Major General Brigade Commander had been insulted.
Seeing Kentaro Miyazaki's reaction, Umezumi Saeki nodded secretly. This was consistent with what Kentaro Miyazaki should have and there was no doubt about it.
"This man calls himself Zhu Chenjie, your subordinate, and he took a brick engraved with General Toda's name, and falsely claimed that it was a gift from a royal family in Europe that you specially selected for General Toda." said Saegi Umezumi.
"Mr. Sakami suspects me?" Cheng Qianfan's face darkened and he looked at Sakami Umezumi and said.
"Miyazaki-kun has misunderstood." Saejo Umezumi shook his head. "It is obvious that the enemy pretended to be one of your men and sneaked into the Pukou Hotel under this name."
He said in a deep voice, "However, since the enemy chose to use the name Zhu Chenjie, I am wondering if there is any reason for this?"
"For example, is there really a person named Zhu Chenjie in Jiujiu Trading?" asked Umezumi Saeki.
……
"I kind of understand what you mean." Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully, "Although the person you suspect used the fake name Zhu Chenjie, it is possible that there is indeed a person named Zhu Chenjie."
"Yes, that's exactly what I mean." Saegi Umezu nodded. "Even if it's a fake name, a name that a person says subconsciously may not be made up. Maybe he has heard of this name, or he has a friend with this name. Of course, this is just my idea, just a guess, a direction of investigation."
"Is there someone named Zhu Chenjie in Jiujiu Trading?" he asked Kentaro Miyazaki.
"So many people work for me and take jobs from me, how can I remember so many names?" Cheng Qianfan frowned and said, "I will order someone to investigate this matter."
……
Cheng Qianfan got out of the car and returned to his own vehicle.
"Brother Fan, what does Zuo Shang want to talk to you about?" Li Hao asked while driving.
"Toda Seiichiro is dead, and his head and cephalocapsid were cut off and taken away, which angered the Japanese." Cheng Qianfan said, "Sao hoped that I could help the Military Police Headquarters to gather intelligence."
"Toda's head has been cut off. Well done. It's so satisfying." Li Hao said happily. After the action team successfully evacuated, they went straight back to the safe house and cut off contact with the outside world. He didn't know more about the inside story of the Pukou Hotel.
Then his expression was strange, "Brother Fan, you just mentioned Toda's little head, and the little head was also cut off."
"I hope Mr. Dai will like Sheng Shuyu's gift of the big and small heads." Cheng Qianfan shook his head and said.
He said to Haozi, "The Central District will carry out a security patrol operation today. President Jin will lead the team personally. You should also follow Lu Jiufan and protect President Jin in secret."
"Brother Fan, are you worried that the Japanese will harm Mr. Jin?" Li Hao asked.
"The Japanese have suffered such a huge loss in succession, so they will certainly conduct a large-scale search and retaliation." Cheng Qianfan said, "General Jin led the team to carry out security inspections, which seemed to be a proactive cooperation with the Japanese. In fact, he carried out inspections in advance, whether it was to alert the enemy or to let the anti-Japanese elements escape in a perfunctory manner. This was a "disadvantage" for the Japanese. The Japanese are not stupid, they know it in their hearts."
He said with a serious face, "The Japanese have long regarded President Jin as a thorn in their side and are very dissatisfied with him. It is hard to say whether the angry Japanese will take action this time."
Upon learning that the Japanese had suffered a great loss, Jin Kemu took the lead in launching the so-called security patrol operation under the pretext of maintaining public order in the central area of the French Concession. This was an open conspiracy, a conspiracy that the Japanese could not swallow but could not openly oppose. Cheng Qianfan had to admire Jin's experience and courage.
"I understand." Li Hao nodded.
……
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
In the gendarmerie's interrogation room, a red-hot iron was pressed hard against the body of a prisoner whose body was already covered with whip marks. The prisoner screamed and fainted.
Shinichiro Suganuma looked at the scene with a gloomy expression, "Wake him up."
A basin of cold water was poured on the prisoner, who uttered a low groan of pain and slowly woke up.
"Tell me your name and identity." Suganuma Shinichiro stepped forward and grabbed the prisoner's hair, shouting with a ferocious expression, "Otherwise, I have more fun things here that will make your life worse than death."
"Pah!" The man, who had been tortured beyond recognition, spat blood all over Shinichiro Suganuma's face.
Shinichiro Suganuma took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off his face. He did not get angry because of this, but looked at the other person coldly, "Are you really not afraid of death?"
"I'm scared!" said the man.
Shinichiro Suganuma was delighted. "As long as you tell the truth, not only will you not die, but you will also enjoy wealth and glory and endless enjoyment."
"What I fear is that I, a noble Chinese, would die at the hands of a small Japanese slave, bringing shame to my ancestors."
"Bag duck drop!" Shinichiro Suganuma was furious. He took the whip soaked in salt water from his subordinates and started whipping them madly.
This time, the man gritted his teeth and forced himself not to scream.
……
"Suganuma-kun, has the prisoner confessed?" Umezumi Saeaki hurried back to the interrogation room and asked.
This person was captured alive by the gendarmerie during an operation at Qimin Hospital. He was shot in the calf and was unable to escape, so he was captured by the gendarmerie.
The successful capture of the prisoner made Sakami Umezumi and others overjoyed. The top priority was to pry open this man's mouth and obtain information about the whereabouts of other escaped people.
"This guy is a die-hard." Shinichiro Suganuma snorted coldly and said.
"Is there still a mouth that Suganuma-kun can't pry open?" said Umezumi Saeaki.
"This guy speaks eloquently, he must have some knowledge." Suganuma Shinichiro and Saeki Umezumi walked aside and said, "These young people with a certain level of education basically took the initiative to join the ranks of fighting against the empire. These people were caught because they were either too afraid to die after being whipped, or they were very stubborn and hard-core elements."
"Didn't you get some useful information?" asked Umezu Saeki with a frown.
"These are the items found on this person," said Shinichiro Suganuma.
Umezu Sae looked at the items on the table and examined them carefully:
Two dollars, half a pencil, a blank piece of paper, a cigarette box with only two cigarettes in it, and half a box of matches.
Umezuzu Sae picked up the blank piece of paper, held it under the light, and even brought it close to the charcoal brazier, but he did not find anything unusual about the paper.
"I have carefully examined this paper and it seems to be just an ordinary piece of paper," said Shinichiro Suganuma.
"Send someone to the military doctor in western Sichuan and ask him to help check this paper." said Sae Umezumi.
Ainosuke Kawanishi is not only a military doctor, but also a person who is quite proficient in chemistry. If there is something fishy on this piece of paper, military doctor Kawanishi will definitely be able to find some clues.
Umezu Saeki's eyes were fixed on the items on the table. Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows, picked up the half pencil, and then put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it.
……
"The director must have been killed by Araki Harima." Hirai Shinji said with a ferocious face and gritted teeth.
He was originally an ordinary agent who was insignificant in the eyes of everyone. It was Chibehara Tsukasa who discovered his talent, promoted him and entrusted him with important tasks.
For Shinji Hirai, Chikitahara Tsukasa is not only his mentor, but also the person he respects the most and his belief.
Now, Chikitahara Tsukasa's unfortunate death is like the end of the world for Hirai Shinji.
Since this day, Shinji Hirai has been in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.
However, just as the military police stationed in the Special Higher Section were withdrawing, Hirai Shinji, who was hiding in a dark corner, heard some members of the action team chatting:
It's really unexpected that Director Qianbei would personally serve as bait.
It was just such a simple conversation, but it gave Hirai Shinji a shock, or rather, the dazed Hirai Shinji found the hope to fight and survive.
Yes.
Based on his understanding of Qian Beiyuanji, Director Qian Bei does not need to and will not take the initiative to get in the car and face the danger, because it is completely unnecessary.
So, why did Director Qianbei abnormally get into the car used as bait?
This isn't right.
Given the director's personality, what if he was forced, or had to make a temporary decision to board the bait vehicle for some reason?
Chief Qian Beishi’s death seemed to be at the hands of the enemy, but could there be another hidden story?
……
Shinji Hirai's first reaction was that Kentaro Miyazaki was doing something bad behind his back, because Director Chikita and Kentaro Miyazaki had a very bad relationship, and the director had been insisting on secretly investigating, no, it could even be said to be a semi-public "secret investigation" of Kentaro Miyazaki. Naturally, Kentaro Miyazaki could not be completely unaware of this, and the presence of the director could be said to have directly snatched away Kentaro Miyazaki's favor in front of the section chief.
No matter from which perspective, if there is anyone who might have assassinated Chief Senbei, Kentaro Miyazaki is definitely on the list of suspects.
However, Shinji Hirai had inquired and found out that Kentaro Miyazaki (Cheng Qianfan) was not at the Chimin Hospital when the operation took place. Therefore, the possibility of Kentaro Miyazaki doing something bad behind the scenes was greatly reduced.
The people who were at Qimin Hospital at the time were the most suspicious.
Shinji Hirai fixed his suspicious gaze on Araki Harima.
Want evidence?
He had no evidence.
He only knew that the conflict between Araki Harima and the director was deep, and that in this operation, the director could be said to have taken the opportunity to seize the command of the action team from Araki Harima.
Seizing power, especially military power, is an absolute mortal enemy.
Because of this, Hirai Shinji firmly identified Araki Harima as the suspect:
Araki Harima had a motive and was in the Saimin Hospital. These two points were enough to support Hirai Shinji's investigation and desire for revenge.
……
"Sir." Kumazawa Kanbei was shocked when he heard what Hirai Shinji said, and quickly whispered, "We don't have any evidence."
He persuaded, "Captain Araki has now taken control of the Special Higher Section. Even if the death of the chief is really related to Captain Araki, we can do nothing about it."
"Of course, we can't do anything inside the Special Higher Police." Hirai Shinji's face was extremely gloomy. "Don't forget, the military police just withdrew in disgrace. If we can find evidence that Araki Harima assassinated the director, we will..."
At this point, Hirai Shinji closed his mouth, and a strange light flashed in his eyes, "Kumazawa, do you think the death of the section chief is also related to Araki Harima?"
