Chapter 1644 Marriage
"Are you saying that Kuang Xiaoqin is missing?" Sugita Sanshiro looked at Zhao Shuli with a bad look and asked.
"Yes." Zhao Shuli looked embarrassed and uneasy. "I arranged for someone to secretly keep an eye on Kuang Xiaoqin, and was ready to find an opportunity to take action. I never thought that I received a report from my subordinates today that the one who was keeping an eye on her, Ma Boyu, died unexpectedly, and Kuang Xiaoqin also disappeared."
"Was it Kuang Xiaoqin who did it?" Sugita Sanshiro frowned and asked, "Or was it Cheng Qianfan who did it?"
"It's not clear yet." Zhao Shuli shook his head and said, "However, the forensic identification showed that the murder weapon was most likely a blade, and a button was found in Ma Boyu's hand. It looked like it was torn off a woman's dress."
As he said that, Zhao Shuli handed the button to Sugita Sanshiro to see.
Sugita Sanshiro took the button in his hand and looked at it carefully.
He glanced at Zhao Shuli and asked, "Do you suspect Kuang Xiaoqin is the murderer?"
"It can only be said that it is more likely that a woman did it." Zhao Shuli paused for a moment, and finally said, "We can't rule out the possibility that it was the people Cheng Qianfan arranged to protect Kuang Xiaoqin who did it."
"When you were following Kuang Xiaoqin before, did you find that Cheng Qianfan had arranged people to protect her secretly?" Sugita Sanshiro turned his head and asked Yamashita Jinpachi.
"Never found anything." Yamashita Jinpachi shook his head. "Cheng Qianfan should have only arranged bodyguards for his wife and children. As for Zhang Ping, he only strengthened the patrols on Baier Road."
……
Sugita Sanshiro looked at Zhao Shuli.
"So, Cheng Qianfan really didn't know about it, and didn't know the whereabouts of Kuang Xiaoqin?" Zhao Shuli frowned and said, "He came to me in the police station today to ask for someone, and later in President Jin's office, Cheng Qianfan even tried to attack me."
Zhao Shuli pondered and said, "So, it seems that this kid is not acting?"
Sugita Sanshiro looked at Zhao Shuli deeply.
Zhao Shuli is both honest and dishonest.
The reason why he is said to be honest is that Zhao Shuli did not hide the facts and also expressed his suspicion that the murderer was a woman.
The reason why he was said to be dishonest was that Zhao Shuli, out of hatred for Cheng Qianfan, resorted to a little trick in an attempt to divert suspicion towards Cheng Qianfan.
Of course, it was just a little thought, but when I saw that things were not going well, I decisively put that little thought aside.
……
"Inspector Zhao, Zhao Sang."
"Mr. Sugita."
"You patted your chest and promised at that time that you would be able to hand Kuang Xiaoqin over to me." Sugita Sanshiro said coldly.
"It was Zhao who made a poor plan and failed to execute the work properly." Zhao Shuli said quickly, "Mr. Sugita was disappointed."
"Inspector Zhao is also a famous detective in the French Concession. Based on your experience in investigating cases and your professional vision, how likely is it that the person who killed your men was Kuang Xiaoqin?" asked Sanshiro Sugita.
"Before answering Mr. Sugita's question, I have a doubt that I would like to ask Mr. Sugita to solve," said Zhao Shuli.
"Just ask."
"Mr. Sugita suspects that there is something wrong with Kuang Xiaoqin? Or does he suspect that Cheng Qianfan is not loyal to the Empire of Japan? Does he just want to learn some secrets of Cheng Qianfan through Kuang Xiaoqin?" Zhao Shuli asked.
……
"Is there any difference between the two questions?" asked Sanshiro Sugita with narrowed eyes.
"There is a difference." Zhao Shuli nodded. "If it is the latter, then it is more likely that Kuang Xiaoqin is an ordinary person. Therefore, the possibility that Kuang Xiaoqin is the murderer can be preliminarily ruled out."
"If Mr. Sugita has long suspected that there is something wrong with Kuang Xiaoqin, then this woman must have a side that is unknown to the public, which means that Kuang Xiaoqin may not be an ordinary person." Zhao Shuli said, "In this case, I tend to focus on investigating Kuang Xiaoqin."
"Kuang Xiaoqin." Sugita Sanshiro said, "This woman is very mysterious. I need to know as much information as possible about her. Find out more about this woman for me."
"Yes." Zhao Shuli deliberately showed a flash of regret on his face, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It seemed that the enemy did not have any doubts about Comrade 'Huomiao', and their attention was only on Kuang Xiaoqin.
However, Zhao Shuli still had a doubt in his mind. What on earth had gone wrong that the enemy had secretly targeted Kuang Xiaoqin.
Sugita Sanshiro saw the regret in Zhao Shuli's eyes. He looked at Zhao Shuli and said, "Inspector Zhao, I'll give you four days. Find Kuang Xiaoqin within four days."
"Four days..." Zhao Shuli's face changed slightly.
"Mr. Zhao, don't let me down this time." Sugita Sanshiro patted Zhao Shuli on the shoulder.
"Yes." Zhao Shuli had no choice but to nod, "Zhao will definitely do his best."
……
After Zhao Shuli left, Yamashita Jinpachi said to Sugita Sanshiro, "Sir, it seems that Zhao Shuli is not very confident in catching Kuang Xiaoqin."
"What the empire needs is people who are capable of doing things for the empire." Sugita Sanshiro said, "Zhao Shuli messed up this time, I am very disappointed, I hope he will not disappoint me again this time."
As he spoke, he looked at Yamashita Jinba and said, "Zhao Shuli is looking for Kuang Xiaoqin's whereabouts, which will inevitably lead to another conflict with Cheng Qianfan. You arrange for someone to secretly monitor them and report directly to me if there are any problems."
"The commander suspects Cheng Qianfan?"
Sugita Sanshiro shook his head slowly. "Cheng Qianfan is lustful. Women are his Achilles' heel and biggest weakness. I am very interested in Mr. Miyazaki's reaction to this incident."
"Also, from what we can see now, Kuang Xiaoqin has a problem." Sugita Sanshiro said, "By keeping an eye on Cheng Qianfan, we can also check whether this Miyazaki-kun is really dazzled by beauty and whether he has made any mistakes."
"Hay."
……
Two days passed quickly. Neither Chief Inspector Zhao, who was secretly searching for Kuang Xiaoqin, nor "Mr. Xiao Cheng", who was looking for his secret lover, could find any trace of Kuang Xiaoqin.
This beautiful woman whose scandalous reputation had been spread just disappeared from the face of the earth.
During these two days, Cheng Qianfan and his men had several conflicts with Zhao Shuli's men, and for a while the French Concession seemed to become turbulent.
……
The second day of March.
Suitable for marriage.
This day is the wedding day of Li Hao, the most trusted subordinate and brother of "Mr. Cheng", and the young cook of the Cheng family.
'Mr. Cheng' booked Chunfengdeyilou early on to host a banquet for his brother's wedding.
Li Hao is an orphan, so Cheng Qianfan, as the eldest brother, naturally serves as the male's elder.
Zhou Ru was also single, so Bai Ruolan became the bride's elder.
Li Hao took Zhou Ru, who was covered with a red wedding cloth, and went forward to toast.
"Haozi."
"Ai."
"Okay, okay, seeing that you have also started a family and a career, I am very happy."
"Brother Fan." Li Hao also choked up. If it weren't for Brother Fan, he would have been one of the countless little beggars who froze to death on the streets. To him, Brother Fan was not only his adoptive parent who saved his life, but also the one who guided him onto the road of anti-Japanese resistance.
"Haozi."
"sister in law."
"I've handed Zhou Ru over to you. You two should respect each other and live a good life." Bai Ruolan said, "If you treat Zhou Ru badly, your sister-in-law, as a member of her family, will punish you."
"Haozi doesn't dare." Li Hao said quickly.
Bai Ruolan gave Zhou Ru some more instructions, and then the couple each took out a wedding list and handed it to Zhou Ru.
……
The night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber.
Li Hao lifted his wife's red veil.
Zhou Ru looked at her husband who was laughing foolishly and said, "You are so silly."
Li Hao slapped himself, then laughed, "It really hurts, honey."
"Are you stupid?" Zhou Ru scolded with a smile.
Then the two smiled at each other.
Zhou Ru's cheeks were filled with tears as she laughed.
"what happened?"
"I think of my parents." Zhou Ru leaned on Li Hao's shoulder and whispered, "I am the oldest girl in the family. My parents love me the most. If they knew I was getting married today, they would definitely get drunk. My father likes to drink a few cups of wine the most.
"Come." Li Hao took Zhou Ru's hand.
"What?" Zhou Ru asked puzzledly.
……
Li Hao took his newlywed wife and knelt down facing the northeast.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law." Li Hao kowtowed with a very serious expression, "Son-in-law Li Hao kowtows to you two here."
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law."
"The son-in-law must take good care of Xiaoru and treat her well." Li Hao said, "If there is any danger, the son-in-law will protect her and will die before Xiaoru."
"What nonsense are you talking about." Zhou Ru got angry and hit her husband hard.
Li Hao looked at his wife with such gentle eyes, and within that gentleness was a tremendous strength.
"Fool." Zhou Ru hugged her husband tightly, "Fool."
She said silently in her heart, "Dad, Mom, I have found the man who is worthy of my lifelong trust. He is a man who can stand tall and proud!"
……
Two days later.
Extraordinary courses.
"Mr. Sugita, I'm ashamed to disappoint you." Zhao Shuli said with a guilty look on his face.
"Zhao Sang."
"Mr. Sugita."
"You're right, I am indeed disappointed." Sugita Sanshiro looked at Zhao Shuli.
Zhao Shuli looked up at Sugita Sanshiro with shame and uneasiness in his eyes, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.
"Mr. Sugita, give me two more days, give me two more days."
"Oh? Can I see Kuang Xiaoqin in two days?"
"Zhao is ashamed and can only try his best..."
"Okay, our intelligence office will investigate Kuang Xiaoqin's matter on its own." Sugita Sanshiro looked at Zhao Shuli, "Mr. Zhao."
"Mr. Sugita."
"You were able to find some clues, which is not entirely useless." Sugita Sanshiro said, "Next time, next time I have something to tell you, I hope I can get a satisfactory result."
Hearing this, Zhao Shuli showed a relieved look in his eyes, "If it happens again, Mr. Sugita won't have to do it again. Zhao will be embarrassed."
"Go ahead." Sugita Sanshiro waved his hand.
"Yes."
……
"Wait a moment." Sugita Sanshiro called out to Zhao Shuli again.
"Mr. Sugita, do you have anything else to tell me?"
"You know that the Red Party attacked the Milesai Road at night and rescued their people," said Sugita Sanshiro.
"I have heard about this." Zhao Shuli said, "The Nanjing District of the Special Agent Headquarters escorted the Red Party to Shanghai. The Nanjing District Chief did not report this to Deputy Director Li, and Deputy Director Li was very angry about this."
"Among the Red Party members who were rescued, two were seriously injured. The military doctor said they most likely needed sulfa powder to save their lives," said Sanshiro Sugita.
"Mr. Sugita, do you want me to keep an eye on the market to prevent them from getting sulfa powder?" Zhao Shuli frowned and said, "Mr. Sugita, it has been several days since they were rescued. Even if they need sulfa powder, they either have already got it or not. If the two seriously injured Red Party members didn't have sulfa powder, they might have died from their injuries."
"No." Sugita Sanshiro shook his head. "We heard that sulfa powder was leaked on the black market in the French Concession a few days ago."
He looked at Zhao Shuli and said, "Check it out."
"I understand." Zhao Shuli nodded.
……
After Zhao Shuli left, Sugita Sanshiro thought for a moment, went to the office of the director of the intelligence room, and reported to my grandson Shinta.
"Missing?" asked my grandson Shinta.
"Yes, neither Zhao Shuli's people nor Cheng Qianfan's people have found Kuang Xiaoqin. Now it seems that there must be something wrong with this Kuang Xiaoqin." Sugita Sanshiro said.
"Assign someone to keep an eye on Zhao Shuli." My grandson Shen Tai thought for a moment and said.
Sugita Sanshiro was stunned.
"What's wrong?" My grandson Shinta glanced at Sugita Sanshiro.
"Does the director suspect Zhao Shuli?" asked Sugita Sanshiro.
"Shouldn't we be suspicious?" My grandson Shinta snorted coldly.
"My subordinates don't understand."
"Yamashita Jinpachi has been secretly watching Kuang Xiaoqin for a while, and there was nothing unusual about Kuang Xiaoqin. You just handed the matter over to Zhao Shuli, and Kuang Xiaoqin disappeared." My grandson Shinta said, "Don't you think there is a problem?"
"But, but Zhao Shuli and Cheng Qianfan have a grudge against each other for stealing my wife..." said Sugita Sanshiro.
"Yes, there are sufficient reasons not to suspect Zhao Shuli, and I tend to think there is no problem with him." My grandson Shinta said, "However, since there is reason to suspect, even if it seems that this suspicion is unreasonable, suspicion is suspicion."
He said seriously, "Maybe Zhao Shuli's men accidentally leaked the news, maybe there is something wrong with Zhao Shuli himself, or maybe Kuang Xiaoqin was just very alert and found out that she was being targeted, but——"
My grandson Shinta said, "Sugita, remember, the Chinese are Chinese. We use them, but we must also be on guard against them. As long as they are not from the Empire, we should be suspicious and not have the slightest fluke mentality."
"I understand." Sugita Sanshiro thought and said seriously.
……
The next day.
"I hope that calling you here won't delay Mr. Cheng from looking for your beauty?" Liu Xia said with a smile as she looked at Cheng Qianfan who came in.
Cheng Qianfan knew that Liu Xia was teasing Kuang Xiaoqin, so he smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Xia, you are teasing me too."
"Have you found the person?" Liu Xia asked.
Cheng Qianfan shook his head.
"Okay, business is more important." Liu Xia said, "When you go back today, pack up and follow me to Nanjing tomorrow."
