Chapter 1746 Where is Sugita?
"What about the Central Bureau of Investigation?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Brother Fan, according to my secret inquiries later, the gun battle was fierce that night, and the people who were surrounded fought to the death. It is said that no one surrendered, and no one was left alive." Taozi said.
"Oh." Cheng Qianfan nodded. "It seems that the possibility of it being the Central Bureau of Investigation is extremely low."
"I think so too," said Qiao Chuntao.
It is almost common knowledge that the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics personnel have a weak will to resist.
If the Central Intelligence Agency's intelligence station were surrounded by the enemy, it doesn't mean that everyone would surrender, but there would definitely be people who would be unsteady in their will.
After learning about the fierce gun battle that night, Qiao Chuntao also tended to rule out the possibility that the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics intelligence station had been cracked by the enemy.
"After ruling out those cowards from the Shanghai district and the Central Bureau of Investigation, the only possibility left is the Red Bandits," Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully.
"Brother Fan." Qiao Chuntao shook her head. "This is exactly what I think is odd, because my intuition tells me that it should have nothing to do with the Red Party."
"Intuition?" Cheng Qianfan glanced at Taozi, "Tell me why you have such an intuition?"
"Brother Fan," Qiao Chuntao said, "In November last year, the Red Party organization in Zhabei was cracked by No. 76. You know this, right?"
Cheng Qianfan nodded.
At the end of last year, a traitor appeared in Zhabei. This person gave out the list of the Zhabei Red Party members. The Special Agent Headquarters secretly arrested the Zhabei side overnight, causing great losses to the Zhabei Party organization.
This incident happened very suddenly, and even Comrade Zhao Shuli, who had infiltrated the secret service headquarters, only learned of the enemy's actions afterward.
……
"Gunfights broke out simultaneously on Hebei South Road and Tongxin Road, and grenades were used on Hebei South Road," Qiao Chuntao said. "I have thought about it carefully. I don't think the Red Party will still have such firepower in Zhabei after the heavy losses it suffered at the end of last year."
"You don't understand the Red Bandits." Cheng Qianfan snorted coldly, "This bunch of poor guys may have no money or weapons, but they are very tenacious. It's hard to guarantee that they will develop secretly in Zhabei again."
"Brother Fan, you also said that they are poor guys with no money and no weapons." Taozi said.
"Okay, let's assume that your intuition and inference are correct, and it's not those poor guys." Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully, "Then, it's not the Shanghai District, nor is it the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics' bunch of good-for-nothings."
He looked at Qiao Chuntao, "Taozi, then tell me, which force was destroyed by the enemy?"
"Brother Fan, this is exactly what I find strange." Qiao Chuntao said, "The two gun battles happened at the same time, there were no symptoms, and most importantly, after the gun battles, everything was very calm."
"You hit the point." Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly, "Yes, it's very peaceful, too peaceful."
Calmness is exactly what is strange and weird.
……
"There is one more thing." Qiao Chuntao said, "Until now, we still haven't figured out who did the damage to Hebei South Road and Tongxin Road."
He said to Cheng Qianfan, "The Special Agent Headquarters, the Special High Section, the Japanese Military Police? Logically speaking, no matter which side took action, there would be movement afterwards, but there has been no news so far."
"So, what do you suspect?" Cheng Qianfan looked at Taozi and asked.
"Brother Fan, is it possible that this is not an enemy action against the anti-Japanese organization?" Qiao Chuntao pondered, "For example, is it a revenge killing?"
"Foul play?" Cheng Qianfan was slightly stunned. He began to think about the possibility that Qiao Chuntao mentioned.
"Yes." Qiao Chuntao nodded. "Of course, it's not necessarily a vendetta. What I mean is that this is not a fight between the enemy and the anti-Japanese forces, so it's so abnormal and leaves us scratching our heads."
"Your suspicion is not without reason." Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly, "I will arrange for someone to secretly investigate."
Qiao Chuntao nodded. With the director's power and influence in Shanghai, if it really was an incident like a gang vendetta, it would not be hidden from the eyes and ears of "Mr. Cheng".
……
After meeting Qiao Chuntao, Cheng Qianfan visited Lu Dazhang that evening.
Lu Dazhang then met with Zhao Shuli in secret and asked Comrade Abacus to meet with Comrade Yi Jun of the Enemy Work Department to inquire about the Hebei South Road and Tongxin Road incidents.
Soon, intelligence feedback came back from the Enemy Work Department that nothing had happened to the organization in Zhabei, and the gunfight that occurred on Hebei South Road and Tongxin Road had nothing to do with the Red Party.
Only then did Cheng Qianfan breathe a sigh of relief.
Two days later.
"Director, I have heard something." Yano Yuma reported to my grandson Shinta, "I have thought about it and found it a little strange."
"explain."
"A member of the detective team of the Zhabei Police Department revealed that a gunfight broke out on Tongxin Road in Zhabei half a month ago. They heard the gunshots and rushed over, and found that it was people from the secret service headquarters who were arresting people." said Yuma Yano.
"I later found out that gunshots were heard not only on Tongxin Road, but also on Hebei South Road that night." Yano Yuma said to my grandson Shinta.
"So, what are you suspecting?" My grandson Shinta glanced at Yano Yuma, "Do you suspect that someone from the secret service headquarters took Sugita away?"
"Director, I know this guess is a bit absurd," Yano Yuma said quickly, "However, I have been secretly investigating during this period and found that there have indeed been many murders. However, I have checked the bodies and none of them belonged to Chief Sugita. The only body I saw was in the gunfight in Zhabei half a month ago."
"The most important thing is," Yano Yuma said, "there is an operation at the Special Agent Headquarters, but we at the Special High Section have not received any reports or news."
After hearing what Yano Yuma said, my grandson Shinta fell into deep thought.
"Go contact Ota Hideya now and ask him to come see me." My grandson Shinta said in a deep voice.
Hideya Ota was planted by the Intelligence Room in the Special Agent Headquarters to exercise the power of surveillance. Any actions of the Special Agent Headquarters could not be concealed from Hideya Ota.
"Hai."
……
"Captain Araki, I have found out something." Kumazawa Kanbei nodded and bowed to Araki Harima.
"Tell me, what did you find out?" Araki Harima glanced at Kumazawa Kanbei.
Ever since he betrayed Hirai Shinji and secretly defected to him, Kumazawa Kanbei's performance has made him quite satisfied. With Kumazawa Kanbei, a 'family member', in the intelligence room, although he cannot know everything about the situation in the intelligence room, he can still know about 70% of it.
"Hirai Shinji has been secretly received by the chief of the 'tent' several times in recent days." said Kumazawa Kanbei.
"Do you know what the chief of the 'tent' wants to ask Hirai Shinji to do?" Araki Harima asked.
"I don't know about that." Kumazawa Kanbei shook his head, "But I once heard Hirai Shinji say, 'The truth about Commander Chikita's death will soon be revealed.'"
"What's the truth behind Chihaki's death?" Araki Harima frowned. "Chihaki Haraji's death has already been determined. What is Hirai Shinji doing?"
"As far as I know, Hirai Shinji has always believed that Commander Chikita was murdered, so..."
"Ridiculous!" Araki Harima snorted coldly, "It has long been determined that Hirai was killed. Hirai Shinji deliberately spread rumors to confuse right and wrong. What on earth is he trying to do?"
Araki Harima glanced at Kumazawa Kanbei and said, "Keep an eye on Hirai Shinji and see what he is up to."
"Hai."
"It would be best if we could find out what the head of the 'tent' is looking for Shinji Hirai to do secretly." Araki Harima said.
"Hai."
……
"I have also found out one thing." said Kumazawa Kanbei.
"Oh?"
"Captain Sugita from the intelligence room is missing." said Kumazawa Kanbei.
"Missing?" Araki Harima looked surprised.
I haven't seen Sugita Sanshiro, a close confidant of my grandson Shinta, for several days, and he was a little surprised before.
However, Sugita Sanshiro was usually mysterious, so he didn't take it too seriously. He just guessed that my grandson Shinta was secretly instructing Sugita Sanshiro to plan some action.
But I didn’t expect that Sugita Sanshiro was missing?
"Yes." Kumazawa Kanbei nodded, "The head of the 'tent' ordered Commander Yano to secretly find out the whereabouts of Commander Sugita."
"Hmm?" Araki Harima became interested. Yano Yuma is a close confidant of my grandson Shinta. My grandson Shinta's close confidant Yano secretly inquired about the whereabouts of his close confidant Sugita. So, Sugita Sanshiro is really missing? !
He looked at Kumazawa Kanbei and said, "Tell me in detail what you know."
……
Araki Harima stood by the window, staring into the yard.
Kumazawa Kanbei, who had just left his office, said hello to others and went to the bathroom with a cigarette in his mouth.
Kumazawa Kanbei's report on the disappearance of Sugita Sanshiro aroused great interest in Araki Harima.
Sugita's disappearance, was it an accident? Or is there something unknown going on behind it?
In any case, the disappearance of my grandson Shinta's confidant was enough to arouse his interest.
Just at this time, he saw Yano Yuma hurriedly appear in the yard and leave in a hurry.
"Hashimoto." Araki Harima said.
"Captain." Hashimoto Ryo pushed the door open.
"Did you know that Sanshiro Sugita from the intelligence room is missing?" asked Araki Harima.
"Sugita Sanshiro is missing?" Hashimoto Ryo shook his head in surprise, "I haven't heard of it."
"An excellent imperial agent is missing. Such a big thing happened, and you didn't even know about it?" Araki Harima's face darkened.
"Captain." Seeing that Araki Harima was angry, Hashimoto Ryo said quickly, "After the chief of the 'Tent' came to Shanghai, he emphasized that the intelligence office should keep confidential. Now they rarely inform us of their actions in advance, and Sugita Sanshiro is even more elusive. Your subordinates..."
"Go check it out." Araki Harima interrupted Hashimoto Ryo's explanation, "Secretly investigate the disappearance of Sugita Sanshiro."
"Hai."
"Keep an eye on Yano Yuma, he should have some knowledge of the situation." Araki Harima said in a deep voice.
"Hayi." Hashimoto Ryo saluted and said. Although he didn't understand why the captain ordered him to keep an eye on his own people, as a subordinate he could only obey.
In fact, ever since Section Chief Sanben died, he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere within the Special High Section. The exchanges and communications between departments were much less frequent than before, and they all seemed to be on guard against something with each other.
Especially after the chief of the "Tent" came to Shanghai, the two units, the Intelligence Room and the Action Brigade, which were supposed to work closely together, seemed to have an invisible barrier between them and became much more unfamiliar.
……
at dusk.
Araki Harima was on the phone with Miyazaki Kentaro and they planned to go to Kashima Izakaya to drink together in the evening.
There was a knock on the office door.
"Come in."
The one who came in was Hashimoto Ryo.
"Miyazaki-kun, it's settled. Remember to bring two bottles of good wine." Araki Harima said with a smile and hung up the phone.
"What's the matter?" He looked at Hashimoto Ryo.
"Captain, Yano Yuma is back." Hashimoto Ryo said, "He also came back with Ohta Hideya from the Intelligence Room."
"Ota Hideya?" Araki Harima asked thoughtfully, "The one at the secret service headquarters?"
"Yes, Captain." Hashimoto Ryo nodded, "I saw the two of them hurried to the chief's office."
"I understand." Araki Harima nodded and waved his hand.
My grandson Shinta urgently summoned Ota Hideya. Is there something going on at the secret service headquarters?
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. According to what Kumazawa Kanbei said, my grandson Shinta arranged for Yano Yuma to secretly look for the whereabouts of Sugita Sanshiro. These two people came to see my grandson Shinta in a hurry. Did Ota Hideya discover the whereabouts of Sugita Sanshiro?
……
"You mean, the secret service headquarters didn't take any action half a month ago?" My grandson Shinta looked at Ota Hideya and asked with a frown.
"Yes, Chief." Ota Hideya nodded.
He thought for a moment and added, "At least, I didn't hear that Jisifeilu took any action on that day?"
"Asshole." My grandson Shinta glared at Ohta Hideya, "What do you mean by that? What's the point of me arranging you to Jessfield Road? You mean that you haven't been able to fully monitor and grasp the actions of the agent headquarters."
Ota Hideya was groaning in his heart. He was scolded for adding a sentence just out of habit of being cautious.
"Director," Ohta Hideya said quickly, "I can clearly report that the Special Agent Headquarters did not take any action on the night of fifteen days ago, and there is no record of any action in the Special Agent Headquarters' action files."
My grandson Shinta immediately looked at Yano Yuma.
"Director," Yano Yuma said quickly, "I did find out that the special agent headquarters took action on Tongxin Road fifteen days ago, and they had a fierce gun battle with the enemy."
Seeing my grandson Shinta frowned, he quickly added, "At that time, the people from the Second Division of the Inspection Team of the Zhabei Police Department tried to go forward to check, but were stopped by the people from the Special Agent Headquarters."
"Who is leading the inspection team, and who is leading the team at the secret service headquarters?" My grandson Shinta asked immediately, "Is it possible that the inspection team was deceived by the other party, and they are pretending to be from the secret service headquarters?"
"The leader of the inspection team is Ma Kang, the captain of the second inspection team, and the leader of the special agent headquarters is Zhuo Yang," said Yano Yuma. "I asked the inspection team member, and he confirmed that the other party was indeed from the special agent headquarters. The special agent from the special agent headquarters who came forward to negotiate with them was named Zou Xiaoyu, and some inspection team members knew him."
