Ping Chongyang curled his lips. With so many policemen surrounding two armed men, one of them still escaped. He scoffed at the fighting effectiveness of these Chinese policemen in the French Concession Police Station.
"Because the other party was armed and dared to directly attack the police, I judged that something was fishy and immediately began to interrogate him."
"This man couldn't bear the torture and admitted that he was a member of the Military Control Commission." Cheng Qianfan said, "I realized that the matter was not simple, so I immediately sent my men away and interrogated him alone, and obtained this confession."
Hearing that Miyazaki Kentaro promptly dismissed his men and interrogated the criminal alone, Junichiro Ikeuchi nodded slightly.
"Regarding the assassination of General Gangcun by the Military Control Commission as reported by Wang Hengyi, does this person know more about the inside story?" asked Junichiro Ikeuchi.
"Because the matter involved General Gangcun, it was a serious matter. I didn't dare to make a decision on my own. I ordered the prisoner to be secretly detained and no one was allowed to approach." Cheng Qianfan said, "Then I drove to Sakura Apartment urgently and reported the matter to Lieutenant Colonel Pingzhong."
"Confused!" Ikeuchi Junichiro's face changed, and he said in a deep voice, "You should continue to interrogate Wang Hengyi and get more detailed information."
He glanced at Miyazaki Kentaro, frowned and said, "Is it safe over there in the police station?"
"Commander, are you worried that the Chongqing elements will kill people to silence them if they learn of this?" Cheng Qianfan was stunned for a moment, then he shook his head and said, "I have arranged for capable men to guard the place, so it should be foolproof..."
"Nothing is foolproof!" Ikeuchi Junichiro snorted coldly. He looked at Ping Zhongyangyi, "Ping Zhong, you will immediately go back to the police station with Miyazaki and secretly interrogate Wang Hengyi."
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
Cheng Qianfan and Ping Chongyang saluted the two and prepared to leave.
……
At this time, Junichiro Ikeuchi suddenly asked, "Miyazaki."
"Hay."
"After discovering the information, why didn't you report it to Sanben-kun immediately?" Junichiro Ikeuchi looked at Kentaro Miyazaki and asked.
"I was a little flustered." Cheng Qianfan smiled bitterly, with a hint of annoyance in his smile. "When I learned that the Military Control Commission was actually going to assassinate General Gangcun, the first thing I thought about was to quickly inform Lieutenant Colonel Pingzhong..."
"After calling Lieutenant Colonel Pingzhong, I calmed down and realized that I should report the matter to the section chief," said Cheng Qianfan.
"It was me who asked Miyazaki-kun to send me to the gendarmerie." Ping Chongyang helped explain.
"Okay, go and do your own thing." Junichiro Ikeuchi nodded slightly and waved his hand.
"Hai!"
"Hay."
……
After watching Taira Shigeyoichi and Miyazaki Kentaro leave, Ikeuchi Junichiro said to Gangcun, "Senior, young people are so impatient. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
"It's okay." Gangcun looked stern and shook his head.
He could see that Kentaro Miyazaki had great respect for him, which could explain why he hurried out to report the news when he learned that the Military Control Commission intended to harm him.
He was so anxious that he even forgot to report the matter to his superior immediately.
If it were in the army, Gangcun would naturally not allow such a situation.
However, considering that this was a subconscious reaction of a young agent who admired him, Gangcun felt that he should be more tolerant of young people.
"It's interesting that a senior police officer of the French Concession Police Station is actually an imperial agent." Gangcun was serious and his expression was solemn when he talked about the "interesting" topic.
Seeing that Okamura was interested in Miyazaki Kentaro's identity, Junichiro Ikeuchi smiled and began to tell Okamura about it.
……
"I didn't expect that Cheng Sang is actually one of the empire's own people." Ping Chongyang said to Cheng Qianfan as he sat in the co-pilot seat.
"Due to work requirements, my identity is kept confidential. I did not deliberately conceal it. I hope Mr. Ping Chong can forgive me." Cheng Qianfan heard the accusation in Ping Chongyang's words and quickly explained.
"I understand." Ping Chongyang nodded. "This is the nature of your work. I can understand it."
He asked Cheng Qianfan, "I'm going to take this Wang Hengyi away later."
Cheng Qianfan frowned slightly when he heard this, "Mr. Pingzhong, personally, I naturally hope to bring Wang Hengyi out and bring him back to the military police for interrogation, but I'm sorry."
"Hmm?" Ping Chongyang frowned slightly.
"Wang Hengyi was not arrested secretly. There was a gunfight, which had a bad impact. He revealed his identity as a military commander at the time, and many people heard it with their own ears." Cheng Qianfan said, "If I secretly hand him over to the Empire, I can't hide it, and it will definitely affect my undercover work."
Ping Chongyang frowned. He really wanted to say, which is more important, your job responsibilities or General Gangcun’s safety?
However, when he thought about how Kentaro Miyazaki warned him late at night and how the first person he thought of was to contact him instead of reporting to his Special High Section chief, Ping Chong Yangichi was still somewhat touched and did not say these words out loud.
"So, I can take Ping Zhongjun into the cell and secretly interrogate Wang Hengyi." Cheng Qianfan said, "This man has been tortured and is completely scared. He will definitely answer all questions and will not dare to hide anything."
"That's fine." Ping Chongyang nodded.
……
Cheng Qianfan stopped the car two miles away from Xue Huali Road.
He got out of the car, opened the trunk, took out a patrol uniform, and handed it to Ping Chongyangyi, "Ping Chongjun, you are now a patrolman."
"What is my alias?" Ping Chongyang asked as he put on his clothes, seeming quite eager to try.
"Yang Yi, Mu Yi Yang, Yi means perseverance." Cheng Qianfan said after thinking for a while.
"Yang Yi." Ping Chongyang nodded slightly. He was quite satisfied with this name.
"However, since I will take you in, no one will ask your name." Cheng Qianfan said, "You are a secret investigator, so just keep a serious expression and don't talk to anyone else."
"I understand." Ping Chongyang nodded slightly. After a little thought, he understood the benefit of this identity that Kentaro Miyazaki arranged for him.
Miyazaki Kentaro's ability to prepare the patrol uniform in advance and quickly arrange such an identity won his initial admiration.
Cheng Qianfan threw the prepared patrol cap to Ping Chongyangyi, who caught it, put it on, and saluted Cheng Qianfan, the deputy chief patrol officer.
Cheng Qianfan returned the greeting and the two smiled at each other.
……
Cheng Qianfan brought Ping Chongyang, who had a cold and serious expression, to the cell.
"Brother Fan." Hou Pingliang stepped forward and said. He just glanced at the people around Brother Fan and felt that this colleague was unfamiliar, but he did not ask any more questions.
"How is the prisoner?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"I just called Lao Huang to treat the prisoner's injuries." Hou Pingliang said, "Lao Huang used alcohol to clean his wounds. The guy was in so much pain that tears came out."
"Are Laojiu and Chang Xiaoyu following?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Follow us, three of us together." Hou Pingliang said, "Brother Fan, I'll remember your instructions."
"Give me the key, and go ahead." Cheng Qianfan said, "Little monkey, you stay outside and don't let anyone in without my permission."
"clear."
……
Wang Hengyi lay on the straw mat, moaning softly.
Hearing the cell door being opened and someone walking in, Wang Hengyi turned his head with difficulty.
When he saw Cheng Qianfan, his eyes narrowed and he revealed a frightened expression.
Ping Chongyang smiled. It seemed that Miyazaki Kentaro had tortured this man cruelly enough to make Wang Hengyi feel fear from the bottom of his heart.
"Inspector Yang, this is the Military Control Commission prisoner Wang Hengyi. Just ask if you have any questions," said Cheng Qianfan.
Ping Chongyang nodded slightly. He knew that Miyazaki Kentaro was reminding him to conceal his identity.
Cheng Qianfan chuckled in his heart. He prepared a patrol uniform for Ping Chongyangyi and reminded him to hide his identity. His purpose was to prevent Wang Hengyi from realizing that Ping Chongyangyi was a Japanese.
In this case, according to Cheng Qianfan's speculation, the possibility of Wang Hengyi voluntarily confessing that he had secretly defected to the Japanese was relatively low, and he would not mention his secret dealings with the Special High Section.
This will be of great use to him in his subsequent plots against Mitsumoto Jiro and Chikitara Tsukasa.
……
"What is your name, identity, and purpose of coming to Shanghai?" Ping Chongyang asked.
Wang Hengyi looked at Cheng Qianfan in surprise.
"This Inspector Yang is in charge of this matter. If you don't want to suffer any more, just answer whatever he asks." Cheng Qianfan said coldly.
"Wang Hengyi, head of the special operations team of the Military Control Commission's Hangzhou Station, we are here in Hangzhou to assassinate the Japanese general Gangcun on the orders of our boss Dai," said Wang Hengyi.
"How many people have come from Zhejiang?" Ping Chongyang asked.
"A group of people came earlier, led by Sheng Shuyu, a special commissioner sent to Zhejiang by the Military Intelligence Bureau headquarters. Two of them are my subordinates."
"Later, Qi Huanyuan, the general affairs officer of Hangzhou Station, was captured by the Japanese. Qi Huanyuan knew me, so Ding Wenzheng, the deputy station chief of Hangzhou Station, arranged for me to lead my troops to Shanghai for support, also to temporarily avoid disaster."
Ping Chongyang glanced at Cheng Qianfan.
Cheng Qianfan shook his head, meaning that he didn't know the situation in Hangzhou.
……
"You said you brought your team members to Shanghai. Where are they now?" Ping Chongyang asked.
"We are staying at the Qiu Ming Hotel on Gaoen Road," Wang Hengyi said, "But now that I have been captured, my men should have moved if they received the news."
"Gao'en Road?" Ping Chongyang felt that this place name was very familiar.
"There was an explosion on Gaoen Road a few hours ago, and there were fierce gunshots." Cheng Qianfan asked, "Did your people do it?"
"I don't know." Wang Hengyi looked bewildered. "When I left, I told them to stay in the hotel and not to make any unusual moves."
When he was on the road with Liu Yangji, he did hear explosions and faint gunshots. However, the two were not familiar with the streets of Shanghai and did not know that the explosion occurred on Gaoen Road.
"It seems like they are not his men." Cheng Qianfan whispered beside Ping Chongyangyi.
"You said your men might have evacuated. Where will they evacuate to?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"We originally agreed that if there was an unexpected situation, we would evacuate immediately," Wang Hengyi said, "to Xiafei District, to a 'Shanning' hotel in Xiafei District."
Ping Chongyang looked at Cheng Qianfan, and Cheng Qianfan nodded, meaning that there was indeed such a hotel.
……
"Since you are here to reinforce, you should have met your superiors after arriving in Shanghai." Ping Chongyang asked, "Who did you meet and where?"
"They drove to Qiumin Hotel to pick me up, and I met Sheng Shuyu and a man from the Shanghai Special Intelligence Department named Zhuo," said Wang Hengyi.
Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Cheng Qianfan's brows.
Ping Chongyang saw all this, but he did not ask any questions in a hurry. Instead, he continued to interrogate Wang Hengyi, "Where did you see them?"
"I'm not familiar with Shanghai. They drove around in circles and even changed cars in the middle," said Wang Hengyi.
"The Military Control Commission wants to assassinate General Gangcun. Do you know the specific plan?" Ping Chongyang asked.
"Sheng Shuyu said that we don't know Gangcun's whereabouts, so we can only deploy in more places and arrange several action teams to keep an eye on some places and wait for the opportunity." Wang Hengyi said.
Hearing this, Ping Chongyang breathed a sigh of relief.
When he first heard Kentaro Miyazaki report that the Military Intelligence Bureau was going to assassinate General Okamura, he was very shocked. His first reaction was that the general's whereabouts had been exposed, and the Military Intelligence Bureau was very likely to have grasped the general's exact whereabouts. If so, this would be a big problem.
Now that he heard that the Military Control Commission did not know the whereabouts of the general, but instead adopted the stupid method of staking out in multiple places and waiting for the opportunity, he felt relieved a little. This at least showed that there was no problem with the people around General Gangcun.
……
"Deploy at multiple locations? Sit back and wait?" Ping Chongyang asked, "Tell me in detail about the deployment of the Military Control Commission."
"Each group only knows its own arrangements." Wang Hengyi struggled to lean against the wall of the cell and said, "Sheng Shuyu only gave me instructions on my group's squatting and ambush arrangements. I don't know anything else."
Ping Chongyang frowned. The Military Control Commission was very cautious, which also indirectly reflected the meticulousness and importance of the Military Control Commission in the assassination of General Gangcun.
"Then tell me about the ambush location that your team is responsible for." Cheng Qianfan said.
"Sheng Shuyu arranged for us to be in charge of Qimin Hospital." Wang Hengyi said.
"Qi Min Hospital?" Cheng Qianfan showed a look of surprise and confusion. He looked at Ping Chongyangyi, as if asking, what is Gangcun Ge doing in this hospital?
Ping Chongyangyi was also very surprised. Not to mention that he didn't know what this "Qi Min Hospital" was, he also couldn't imagine that the Military Control Commission would set up an ambush in such a hospital. This made him a little confused, because Ping Chongyangyi had never heard General Gangcun say what hospital he was going to. Based on his understanding of Gangcun, the general was in good health and there was no need for him to go to the hospital for treatment.
What's more, even if His Excellency the General wanted to go to the hospital for a check-up or treatment, he would not go to the "Qimin Hospital" that he had never heard of. The Empire has many hospitals in Shanghai, including the Imperial Shanghai Army Hospital. If His Excellency the General went to the Imperial Army Hospital, it is possible.
