Chapter 1864 Code Book

"What happened?" asked Araki Harima.

"The Special High Police Department did not miss any blind spots and searched every household thoroughly. They also broke into the houses of those who did not receive an answer after knocking on the door," Cheng Qianfan said calmly. "This also included Li Hao's home."

He said to Araki Harima, "Hayashi Daisuke must be dissatisfied with Li Hao's previous behavior. He ignored the police's dissuasion and forcibly broke into Li Hao's house and searched it."

"Did you find anything?" asked Araki Harima.

Cheng Qianfan glanced at Araki Harima.

He had a vague guess just now, and now from Araki Harima's attitude, he was 80% sure that it was Araki Harima who arranged people to forcibly search Li Hao's house.

"No suspicious items were found." Cheng Qianfan said, flicking the ash off his cigarette. "If there really was a problem, the call wouldn't have come from the police station. Li Hao is my trusted subordinate. If there was a problem with Li Hao, Alfred from the Political Department's Investigation Team would definitely not miss this opportunity and excuse to deal with me."

Araki Harima nodded slightly and said, "Anyway, please take care of Xia Wenqiao, Miyazaki-kun. If we can successfully catch the big fish Xu Zhaolin this time, the Central United Front's Su-Hu District, which has been lingering for more than two years, will become history."

"I will arrange for people to pay more attention." Cheng Qianfan said, "Also, this time the Special High Police entered the French Concession to set up checkpoints and search. Although the police were given the title of plainclothes detectives, it will not embarrass the police. However, this matter will inevitably attract criticism in the French Concession and will bring me some trouble."

……

"What do you mean?" Araki Harima asked.

"I hope that the Empire can show a strong attitude towards the French Concession regarding today's incident. The tougher the Empire's attitude becomes, the more it will highlight my difficulties and helplessness." Cheng Qianfan smiled and said, "I have thought of arranging plainclothes scouts for the Special High Section personnel. I have tried my best to maintain the dignity of the French Concession. I believe that the French Concession authorities will understand my painstaking efforts."

"Very good." Araki Harima laughed, "I will report this to Section Chief Arao."

"Moreover, whether it was the previous gun standoff between the patrol police and the Special High Police, or the conflict between Li Hao and Lin Yang Daisuke this time, it actually shows that my attitude towards the Japanese side is actually unwilling to cooperate, and even tends to be tough in this incident." Cheng Qianfan said.

"From this perspective, this is actually a good thing." Araki Harima nodded and said with a smile.

Araki Harima and Miyazaki Kentaro discussed some details and then prepared to say goodbye and leave.

……

"Araki-kun." Cheng Qianfan said.

"Mr. Miyazaki, please speak." Araki Harima said.

"If you have any problems in the future, you can tell me directly." Cheng Qianfan said, "I understand your painstaking efforts, just as I should understand Araki-kun."

With a serious expression, he said to Araki Harima, "I am Kentaro Miyazaki first, and then the fake identity of Cheng Qianfan."

"Okay." Araki Harima looked at Miyazaki Kentaro deeply, a smile appeared on his face, and he picked up his hat and put it on. "I remember it."

……

Lin Yang Dajie had been waiting at an intersection. When he saw the captain's car drive over and stop, he opened the door and got in.

"Are you sure there is nothing abnormal?" Araki Harima asked Hayashi Daisuke.

Bai Ruolan was angered by Suwa Toru's attitude of stopping the car for inspection. The vehicle forced its way through under the strong protection of bodyguards and patrolmen.

Although he later checked the vehicle at Lafede Lufu, risking the wrath of Mr. Cheng, he confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle and the people, thus ruling out the possibility that there was something wrong with Li Hao and Zhou Ru.

However, out of caution, Araki Harima secretly ordered Hayashi Daisuke to break into the house and search it before Li Hao returned to his home on Jin Shengfu Road.

There is no problem with the person and the vehicle, and if the house is searched, there is no problem either, then the suspicion on Li Hao can be eliminated.

……

"No problem." Lin Yang Daisuke said, "There is no radio, and there are no valuable suspicious items."

As he spoke, Lin Yang Daisuke showed hesitation.

"Speak." Araki Harima glanced at Hayashiyo Daisuke and said.

"A secret compartment was found in Li Hao's home." Lin Yang Daijie said.

"Secret compartment?" Araki Harima immediately became interested.

"It's in the secret compartment behind the closet." Lin Yang Daisuke said.

"What's in the secret compartment?" Araki Harima asked immediately.

"Although it is a secret compartment, it contains large yellow croakers, jewelry, silver dollars, foreign currencies and other valuables." Lin Yang Daijie said, "In addition, there is a Mauser pistol and magazines, and a grenade."

Upon hearing this, Araki Harima shook his head and said, "These things, especially weapons and ammunition, are contraband if they are on other people, but it is not a big deal if they are on a police officer like Li Hao who holds authority in the police station."

"Yes." Lin Yang Daijie said, "So, I also think there is nothing suspicious in Li Hao's home."

"Very good." Araki Harima nodded, "At least it can prove that there is no problem with Li Hao's family. It can also prove from the side that there is indeed no problem between Li Hao and Zhou Ru."

This also made him feel relieved. If Li Hao really had a problem, then his friend Miyazaki would be in trouble.

At the same time, he was also very satisfied with Kentaro Miyazaki's attitude.

He arranged for Lin Yang Daisuke to search Li Hao's house and informed Miyazaki Kentaro in advance. In fact, it was not because he wanted to avoid making things difficult for his good friend, but out of caution.

However, Kentaro Miyazaki mistakenly thought that this was done to avoid making things difficult for him, and expressed his understanding.

This instead made Araki Harima feel a little guilty. This good friend of his was indeed beyond reproach.

……

"What is my grandson Shinta doing?" Araki Harima suddenly asked Hayashiyo Daisuke.

"The head of the 'tent' and head of Nohara left together and their whereabouts are unknown." said Lin Yang Daisuke.

Araki Harima frowned. The two men were walking quite close to each other, which gave him a bad feeling.

……

"Director Nohara, are you saying that you have discovered something about the code book?" My grandson Shinta asked Nohara Ken'er with a serious expression.

"We can only say that we have found some clues," said Ken'er Nohara. "As for whether they can play a key role, we still don't know."

"Please speak." My grandson Shinta said seriously.

He now has a certain understanding of Nohara Kenji, the technical official.

This person has the qualities of a technical researcher. He speaks his mind and never exaggerates. Perhaps because of the cautiousness and seriousness of a technical person, he tends to be reserved when speaking.

Although Nohara Ken'er spoke very modestly, my grandson Shinta knew that Nohara Ken'er must have made an important discovery, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to inform him.

"These are some fragments that were not completely burned that I found from the ashes," said Kenji Nohara.

"These ash fragments don't seem to have any direction." My grandson Shinta looked carefully and shook his head and said, "Three fragments, a total of seven words."

He said to Ken'er Nohara, "Excuse me, this doesn't prove anything."

"That's because you are not only a layman, but also don't know how to use your brain," said Kenji Nohara.

My grandson Shen Tai took a deep breath and said to himself, don't get angry, don't get upset, don't bother with fools.

……

"Of course, this is not your fault. Every profession has its own expertise." Nohara Ken'er said, "In fact, I have been researching the possible code book choices of Chongqing and the Red Party."

"And based on the enemy's code books seized by other units, we have focused on studying some of the enemy's habits in selecting code books," said Kenji Nohara.

"Director Nohara, please tell me the answer directly, or who you suspect." My grandson Shinta said, "I have no idea about the process..."

Kenji Nohara glanced at my grandson Shinta.

"Please continue, I'm very interested." My grandson Shinta said quickly.

"There are specific requirements for the selection of code books," Nohara Ken'er continued. "Code books usually use common books with fixed versions as encryption carriers, which are easy to hide and ensure that both the sender and the receiver can accurately decode them."

"So, I have been reading a lot and paying attention to the common books on the market." He said to my grandson Shinta, "You should know that my memory has always been quite good."

I know you're verbose.

My grandson Shinta smiled and nodded.

……

"These words, especially the number, are the page numbers," said Ken'er Nohara. "I now suspect this is a textbook."

"Textbook?" My grandson Shinta's heart moved, and he stared at the fragments provided by Nohara Ken'er.

"Or, to go further, this should be a Chinese language textbook," said Kenji Nohara.

"A Chinese textbook." My grandson Shinta pondered and nodded, "If it is really a Chinese textbook, it should be a universal textbook."

"You thought of that too?" Nohara Ken'er glanced at my grandson Shinta and showed an expression of surprise, as if to say, 'You could actually think of this.'

"After all, I am the head of the intelligence room, and I still have some thinking ability." My grandson Shinta said.

Nohara Ken'er actually thought about it seriously and then nodded.

"What do you need me to do?" My grandson Shinta reminded himself not to argue with this person, so he asked.

"Please help me collect all the Chinese language textbooks available on the market. I want all versions." said Kenji Nohara.

"Okay." My grandson Shinta nodded and said.

This is naturally a physical job.

However, it is better than being a headless fly without a goal.

……

Kenda Apartments.

"Chief District Officer, I checked carefully and found nothing abnormal." Wan Hua reported to Xu Zhaolin.

"Do we need to send someone to contact Xia Wenqiao?" Tong Xueyong lit a cigarette, took a puff, and asked.

"Do you think Xia Wenqiao will help us?" Xu Zhaolin asked Tong Xueyong.

"I don't know." Tong Xueyong thought carefully, then shook his head and said, "But at least this person won't betray us."

Xu Zhaolin nodded without commenting on Tong Xueyong's words.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Even if we want to contact Xia Wenqiao, it can't be now."

He left bait for the Japanese, making them mistakenly believe that he had deliberately leaked the information about contacting Xia Wenqiao, but in fact he had other arrangements.

Logically speaking, he should send someone to contact Xia Wenqiao immediately at this time.

However, Xu Zhaolin was cautious by nature. Although he felt that his plan was good and the enemy would fall into his trap, he was still not reassured. Instead, he chose to be safe and wait and see before arranging for someone to contact Xia Wenqiao secretly.

……

"Director Zhao." Xu Zhaolin looked at Tong Xueyong.

"Please give your instructions, Director," said Tong Xueyong.

"The enemy's raid on Father Jin Road came too suddenly. I am completely puzzled and don't know where we made the mistake." Xu Zhaolin said, "You are very careful in your work, so I will leave this matter to you to investigate."

"Okay." Tong Xueyong thought about it and nodded, "But it may not be easy to find any clues."

"That needs to be checked too." Xu Zhaolin said with a sigh in annoyance.

"Yes." Tong Xueyong said, "District Chief, I'll take some people out to investigate."

"Go." Xu Zhaolin glanced at Wan Hua, and Wan Hua immediately followed Tong Xueyong away.

……

Xu Zhaolin asked everyone else to leave, leaving only Zhao Keping.

"District Chief." Zhao Keping said, "I'm still a little worried."

Xu Zhaolin didn't say anything, lit a cigarette and smoked silently.

We were caught off guard by the enemy and lost a lot of brothers in this breakout. This was undoubtedly a huge loss for the Su-Hu District, which was already short of manpower.

"District Chief." Zhao Keping said anxiously, "Just leaving the code book in the apartment..."

"Shut up." Xu Zhaolin raised his head and glared at Zhao Keping fiercely, "Are you going to shout this so that everyone in Shanghai will know?"

Seeing Zhao Keping's worried look, he whispered, "You are an expert in sending and receiving telegrams. I am not as good as you."

"When it comes to fighting against the Japanese, you are no better than me," said Xu Zhaolin.

He said to Zhao Keping, "Don't mention this matter again, lest there are ears behind the wall and someone lets it slip."

Glancing at Zhao Keping, Xu Zhaolin said sternly, "This is an order."

Zhao Keping was still a little worried, but since the district commander said it was an order, he had no choice but to shut up.

After a brief thought, Xu Zhaolin ordered Zhao Keping and others not to go out and to stay hidden. He changed his clothes and quietly left Kenda Apartment.

……

"Is this the secret place that Wang Maodi gave out?" Cheng Qianfan asked Li Hao.

He was sitting in a wheelchair, which was pushed by Li Hao.

With such a big thing happening, even though "Mr. Cheng" was injured and unable to move, he had to pretend to be strong-willed and diligent in his frontline duties.

At this moment, he was at the Shuanglongfang Apartment on Jinshengfu Road.

His intuition told him that this room was most likely Xu Zhaolin's.

"Yes, Brother Fan." Li Hao said.

"Where is Wang Maodi being held now?" Cheng Qianfan asked again, "Is he in the Target Range Prison?"

"No." Li Hao shook his head. "The Target Field Prison has not sent any information. And Brother Fan, you also know that people arrested by the Political Department's Investigation Team are rarely sent to the Target Field Prison now."

"Find a way to find out Wang Maodi's whereabouts." Cheng Qianfan said in a deep voice, "I always feel that Alfred is up to something bad."

"Understood." Li Hao said.

Cheng Qianfan asked Li Hao to push him to the center of the room. He just sat in the wheelchair, his eyes scanning every corner of the room like a radar.

Suddenly, a strange look flashed in Cheng Qianfan's eyes, but it quickly returned to normal.

"That Wang Maodi who told them at the beginning that he was Jiang Mule's man?" Cheng Qianfan asked Li Hao.
