Chapter 1866: Suspicion
"Yes, Section Chief." Nohara Ken'er nodded and said, "We do have some conclusions at the moment."
Arao Chihiro nodded slightly, motioning Nohara Ken'er to continue.
"We obtained several pieces of paper from the ashes of the code book that was burned at the scene. According to my judgment, this should be the Nationalist government's 'Chinese Language Textbook,'" said Kenji Nohara.
"The Chinese language textbook?" asked Arao Chihiro.
"Yes." Nohara Ken'er nodded, "To be exact, it is the common textbook for primary and secondary schools in the government."
He said to Arao Chihiro, "However, the versions in different regions are inconsistent. What we need to determine now is which region and which version this code book uses."
"Very good." Arao Chihiro nodded slightly, "Are there any progress now?"
"Before that, Chiang Kai-shek's regime unified China in name only. In reality, warlords were in power in various places. This directly led to the fact that although the textbooks for primary and secondary schools in various places were roughly the same, there were still actual differences." My grandson Shinta took over the conversation and said, "I have ordered my men to collect as many "National Language Textbooks" as possible for Nohara-kun to check and verify."
……
"Although I know that capturing the code book is a very difficult task and the work required is very complicated and cannot be rushed, I still have to lock it, and do it quickly, as quickly as possible." said Arao Tomohiro.
He looked at a few people and said, "Xu Zhaolin's sudden appearance in Shanghai is very unusual. We cannot rule out the possibility that the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics' Su-Shanghai Division is plotting something."
"Hayi." My grandson Shinta said, and then he showed a thoughtful look, "But, the Central Committee..."
"Go ahead." said Arao Chihiro.
"Ha Yi." My grandson Shinta said, "If it is the Military Control Commission that is plotting something, I will be very worried. Both Chen Gongshu and Xiao Mian are very capable and threatening. However, the Central Control Commission..."
He chuckled and said, "It's not that I don't respect my opponent, it's just that the performance of the Central Bureau has always been unworthy of my respect and attention."
Araki Harima also laughed, and he agreed with my grandson Shinta's point of view.
Arao Chihiro frowned and looked at his subordinates.
……
"The Central Bureau of Investigation has indeed performed well, but..." Arao Chihiro said in a deep voice, "I want to ask you, what is Xu Zhaolin's ability?"
"Although I look down on the Central Bureau of Investigation, I have to admit that Xu Zhaolin is quite capable," said my grandson Shinta.
"Just one thing, during today's raid, Xu Zhaolin was able to decisively break out and successfully rush through the checkpoint. This shows what this man is capable of." Araki Harima also said.
"In that case, what qualifications do you have to treat Xu Zhaolin and his Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics Su-Shanghai District with contempt?" Arao Chihiro scolded with a sullen face.
"Hai."
"Hai."
"According to your reports, Xu Zhaolin's men today can all be described as elite, and they showed a rare fighting spirit." Arao Chihiro said, "This shows that Xu Zhaolin brought a group of elite forces to sneak into Shanghai."
He looked at them and said, "I think you all understand what this means without my reminding you."
"Ha Yi." My grandson Shinta showed a look of shame and said, "I shouldn't look at Xu Zhaolin with arrogance. He is different from the Central Bureau personnel we are familiar with before. He is an opponent worthy of attention."
"Yoshi." Arao Chihiro nodded, showing a look of satisfaction.
He looked at Araki Harima again, "Captain Araki."
"Professor."
"Xia Wenqiao and Cheng Qianfan are business partners." Arao Chihiro said, "I'll leave it to you to contact Miyazaki Kentaro. Once you find Xu Zhaolin's trace from Xia Wenqiao's direction, I want you to capture Xu Zhaolin alive. Can you do it?"
……
"Hayi." Araki Harima glanced at Arao Chihiro and said, "As long as we can find any clues about Xu Zhaolin, I will capture him alive."
"Very good." Arao Chihiro nodded slightly, "The task of capturing Xu Zhaolin will be handed over to Captain Araki."
Then he looked at my grandson Shinta and said, "As for the task of searching for the code book, it will be left to you and Nohara."
"Hai."
"Hai."

Fu Liao lowered his hat and pretended to stare at the glass case of this Western store, but he was actually using the reflection of the glass case to observe whether there was anyone following him.
After making sure that no one was following him, he hurried into an alley.
Then it turned into a small alley, turned into a main road, and soon went through an alley again and came to a Shikumen residence.
"District Chief." Fu Liao walked in, nodded to the brother in charge of security, went upstairs and met Chen Gongshu.
"Is the road safe?" asked Chen Gongshu.
"The patrol's search is stricter than before. The Chinese detective from the Political Department's investigation team that wanted to find Xue Daolin has also gone to the streets to investigate." Fu Liao said.
"But is it related to today's gunshots?" Chen Gongshu asked immediately.
"Yes." Fu Liao nodded. "Today, the police suddenly blocked Jinshengfu Road and conducted a search."
"Someone drove his car through the checkpoint and had a fierce gun battle with the police," said Fu Liao.
"Do you know which part it is?" Chen Gongshu asked, becoming interested.
"'Paperweight' got information from channels within No. 76 that the person who broke through the checkpoint was most likely Xu Zhaolin from the Central Bureau of Investigation's Su-Shanghai District." Fu Liao said.
"Is it him?" Chen Gongshu was quite surprised.
The Su-Shanghai District of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics was almost wiped out by the Special Agent Headquarters and the Japanese. This happened more than two years ago. Unexpectedly, Xu Zhaolin is still fighting and is becoming more and more capable.
……
"The blockade and search operation on Jinshengfu Road was nominally the responsibility of the police station, but in fact it was people from the Special High Section who participated." Fu Liao said, "The Japanese blocked the news and did not inform Jisifei Road, so even 'Paperweight' did not know the specific details, and he only knew some 'basic facts'." Fu Liao said.
"The people from the Central Bureau of Investigation have nothing to do with us, so we don't need to pay attention to them." Chen Gongshu snorted coldly, "Besides, Xu Zhaolin is also a big fish. Now that Xu Zhaolin has appeared, he will definitely attract the attention of No. 76 and the Japanese. This is also a good thing for us."
Fu Liao nodded, he thought so too.
"Is there any latest news about Brother Cen?" Chen Gongshu asked.
"Yes." Fu Liao said, "The enemy tortured Chief Cen severely, but even under the torture, Chief Cen always insisted that his name was Shu Jincheng and did not reveal anything else."
"It's not good." Chen Gongshu said with a serious expression.
"Yes, Commander." Fu Liao nodded. "Although the enemy has not confirmed the identity of Commander Cen, Commander Cen has been tortured but never spoke. This has made the enemy more convinced that Commander Cen is a big fish."
He said, "Now the enemy is obviously convinced that Commander Cen Cen is an extraordinary person, but they are not sure of his specific identity."
"Have you told 'Paperweight' about our plan? What did 'Paperweight' say?" Chen Gongshu asked.
"'Paperweight' said that method won't work." Fu Liao said, "Even if Commander Cen is severely injured by torture, the enemy will always have doctors waiting to treat him."
He said to Chen Gongshu, "Unless Commander Cen is in critical condition, he will be sent to the hospital."
"Even if we send them to the hospital, given the previous incident with the 'little Taoist priest' from the Shanghai Special Affairs Department being kidnapped by Xiao Mian, the enemy will be extra cautious when escorting prisoners who need to be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment." Fu Liao said, "If we attack by force, we will not be able to save lives, and we ourselves will also suffer heavy casualties."
……
"Can you find a way to contact Secretary Cen?" Chen Gongshu said with a serious expression, "I need to establish contact."
"We can give it a try." Fu Liao thought for a moment and said, "But the hope is not great."
He said to Chen Gongshu, "Although the true identity has not been exposed, since they have identified Commander Cen as a big fish, the enemy has been keeping a close watch on him. It is impossible for anyone to contact Commander Cen alone."
"Let 'Paperweight' do its best." Chen Gongshu said after thinking.
"I understand." Fu Liao nodded and said.
"By the way, District Commander, there is one more thing," he said to Chen Gongshu.
"What's the matter?" Chen Gongshu asked.
"When the checkpoint was just set up on Jinshenfu Road, the vehicle of Cheng Qianfan's wife was stopped and checked. It should be that the Japanese pretending to be detectives from the police station had a rude attitude, which caused Mrs. Cheng's dissatisfaction. The people from the Special High Section and the police station had a gun-pointing standoff." Fu Liao said.
"You mean, Cheng Qianfan had a falling out with the Japanese?" Chen Gongshu asked, his face brightening.
"I'm not sure about that." Fu Liao said, "However, neither the Japanese nor Cheng Qianfan will give up. Now both sides are fighting for face."
Chen Gongshu nodded slightly.
……
"Later, people from the Political Department's investigation team came and ordered the Special High Police to evacuate from the French Concession, and took away a person captured by the Special High Police." Fu Liao said.
"Is it Xu Zhaolin's man?" Chen Gongshu asked immediately.
"It should be." Fu Liao nodded, "It seems that one of them was captured."
"The Central Bureau of Investigation is a bunch of idiots." Chen Gongshu sneered and cursed.
"Pass the order down and see if we can find any clues about Xu Zhaolin and his whereabouts." Chen Gongshu said.
"I understand." Fu Liao nodded and said without any hesitation.

Mao Fulin looked at Yang Erbao who was eating voraciously, a smile appeared on his face. He crossed his legs and said happily, "Eat slowly, eat slowly, there is more after you finish, hey hey hey, don't choke."
As he said this, he stood up and poured a bowl of water for Yang Erbao.
"I'm starving." Yang Erbao drank a large bowl of water, patted his stomach, and then swallowed the meat-wrapped pancake, then burped in satisfaction.
"What's going on?" Mao Fulin asked with concern, "I heard that your family is in trouble?"
"Don't mention it." Yang Erbao's face showed sadness. "The bomb dropped by the Japanese destroyed my home and my life."
"All three kids are dead, and my wife is dead too, all dead, all dead!" Yang Erbao covered his face and sobbed, "Damn the little Japanese devils, damn them."
"Alas." Mao Fulin sighed and looked at Yang Erbao with pity, "This world is like this, alas."
"Brother Yang, what are your plans for the future?" Mao Fulin asked.
"Live one day at a time." Yang Erbao said with a bitter face, and there was no light in his eyes.
"How about this, you can read and write." Mao Fulin looked at Yang Erbao who had lost all hope in life. After all, he was his savior, so he couldn't just ignore him, so he gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't mind, come and work with me."
"Ah?" Yang Erbao looked up at Mao Fulin and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't. Then he nodded silently, "Thank you, Brother Mao, for the meal."
……
That afternoon, Mao Fulin brought Yang Erbao to No. 19 Luojiawan to go through the employment procedures.
"Remember, you can only move around in the places I just took you to." Mao Fulin warned with a serious expression, "Don't go anywhere else. If you accidentally go there, you will be subject to military law."
"Military law?" Yang Erbao seemed frightened.
"Yes!" Mao Fulin was very satisfied with his neighbor's shocked expression. He nodded and said, "You will be shot. Remember?"
"I remember, I remember." Yang Erbao nodded hurriedly.
……
Two days later.
Old Huang came to Lafede Road. He was here to give Cheng Qianfan a muscle massage.
"Be gentle." Cheng Qianfan yelled, "Be gentle, I'm in a wheelchair now."
"That's why we need to activate the blood circulation." Old Huang said, sweating profusely.
He whispered to Cheng Qianfan, "Do you think that with the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics as a shield, will the Japanese continue to target Father Jin Lu?"
"It's hard to say." Cheng Qianfan thought for a moment and said, "It depends on what the Japanese have gained from the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. It also depends on whether they can get any 'truth' from the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics."
"I think your sister-in-law should be careful." Old Huang said with a serious expression.
"You mean, the Japanese will notice Ruolan?" Cheng Qianfan asked with a serious expression.
"Objectively speaking, because of your identity, the Japanese are less likely to be suspicious of you." Old Huang said, "However, the courage you showed this time is likely to attract some attention."
"I'll let Ruolan pay attention to it." Cheng Qianfan nodded seriously and said, "Ruolan herself won't have any problems."
……
"There is one thing." said Lao Huang.
"What's the matter?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Do you remember what you told me about, a hidden spy chief named Yukisaburo Arai?" asked Old Huang.
"Yes." Cheng Qianfan's expression became extremely serious after hearing this. "Why do you suddenly mention this person? Is there something wrong?"
"I visited an old friend's home yesterday," said Old Huang. "This old friend has a great skill in hot needles. He mentioned that he once gave acupuncture to a Japanese named Arai."
"Hmm?" Cheng Qianfan didn't look too happy when he heard that. Instead, his expression became serious. "What a coincidence?"
