Chapter 1505 Someone inside the empire wants to harm me!
Lin Zhu ran all the way, carefully protecting the pie on his chest, avoiding other beggars, and came to a dilapidated shack.
There was only my younger sister Lin Jiao in the shack. She was sick, and everyone else had gone out to beg.
"Sister, look what I brought back." Lin Zhu took out a pie from his arms and proudly presented it to his sister.
"Pie." A light flashed in Lin Jiao's weak eyes.
She grabbed the pie and devoured it ravenously.
"Slow down, slow down." Lin Zhu gently patted her sister's back, "Don't choke."
The younger sister raised her head and gave her brother a weak, sweet smile.
"Eat." Lin Zhu said with a smile.
He swallowed hard as he watched his sister continue to devour her food.
"Brother, eat too." Lin Jiao put the pie to her brother's mouth.
"Brother has eaten and is full." Lin Zhu patted his stomach, making a crisp sound. When he passed by a river just now, he drank a lot of cold river water.
"I met a kind person today and he gave me two pies." Lin Zhu was afraid that his sister would not believe him, so he quickly said, "I'm full, I saved these for you."
"Then eat another bite, brother." Lin Jiao said, "Brother can eat more than me, eat more."
"My sister is sick, that's why she needs to eat more."
My sister just held the pie and didn't say anything.
"Little girl." Lin Zhu rubbed his sister's hair lovingly, lowered his head, took a small bite, and then burped, "Look, brother is full."
Seeing this, the younger sister continued to eat the pie with peace of mind.
Seeing his sister wolfing down the whole pie, Lin Zhu smiled happily.
"Sister, stay at home. Don't go out." He warned, "Brother is out."
"Well, I'm obedient and won't run around." Lin Jiao nodded vigorously. The little girl who had eaten the pie finally had some color on her face.
……
"You're the one looking for me?" The bald man bit a straw in his mouth and glanced at the skinny beggar.
"Someone gave me a pie." Lin Zhu took out the wax ball hidden on his body and handed it over, "He asked me to give this to you."
The bald-headed man stared at the little beggar with a serious expression.
He reached out and took the wax ball. "Who gave it to you and where did they give it to you?"
"There's a traitor at Fan's Pie Shop." said the bald-headed man.
"Traitor?" asked the bald-headed man.
"Well, he bought pies for the Japanese soldiers. He is a traitor." Lin Zhu said.
"Fan's Pie near the Japanese Army Hospital?" Baldy asked immediately.
"Ah."
"What else did that man say?" asked the bald-headed man.
"Just tell me to give this to you quickly." Lin Zhu said.
"Do you remember what that man looks like?" asked the bald-headed man, looking at the wax ball in his hand.
Lin Zhu recalled carefully, but suddenly a vigilant light flashed in his eyes. He quickly hid his gaze and shook his head, "I didn't see it clearly. I only had eyes for pie in the sky at that time."
The bald-headed man looked at the little beggar deeply and nodded.
"What's your name? Who are you from?" he asked.
"No, not with anyone. I'm begging alone." Lin Zhu said quickly.
Although he didn't know what was going on, he knew that anyone who had anything to do with the Japanese would be in danger, and he couldn't bring danger to his sister, Brother Dingzi and others.
"Keep this matter to yourself and never mention it to anyone again," said the bald-headed man.
"Yeah." Lin Zhu nodded.
"Go ahead." The bald man nodded.
Lin Zhu turned around and was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped.
"Next." The bald-headed man threw a meat bun over.
Lin Zhu took it, and when he saw that it was a meat bun, he showed a surprised expression, and hurriedly bowed and left.
"Follow him and see where he goes." The bald-headed man waved and called a little beggar.
The little beggar who delivered the letter was very cautious and did not tell the truth.
"Yeah." A thin little beggar trotted out.
……
Bailu Izakaya on Huangpu Road.
Cheng Qianfan took off his military uniform, changed into casual clothes, and hugged a Japanese geisha. He was drinking and chatting with Kawada Atsuto and others, looking very happy.
"Miyazaki-kun, I've been waiting for you to come see me for the past few days." Kawada Atsuto put his hand into the geisha's arms and said, "If I don't call you, will you never come to see me?"
"After that incident, I naturally thought about coming to see Master Atsuto immediately." Cheng Qianfan kissed the geisha in his arms and said, "But, this matter involves the military police. After thinking about it, Atsuto, you are caught in the middle, so I'd better not make things difficult for you."
"What are you talking about?" Kawada Atsuto glared at Miyazaki Kentaro. "It is precisely because of the involvement of the Military Police that you came to see me. If I don't help you, who will?"
"Next time I will definitely ask Master Duren for help as soon as possible." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
Kawada Atsuto then gave up and nodded happily.
He was a little angry that Miyazaki Kentaro didn't look for him, but Kentaro didn't come to see him in order not to embarrass him, and he would consider him when encountering problems, which made him very happy.
"Mr. Onodera has been in Shanghai for some time. Are you used to it?" Cheng Qianfan picked up the wine glass and clinked glasses with Onodera Masago.
"Shanghai is prosperous, and Qingdao can't compare to it." Onodera Masaru said with a smile, "But I didn't expect that this time it would be a blessing in disguise."
"Mr. Onodera is a talented person in the empire. This time he comes to Shanghai, it is the right time for him to realize his ambitions." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
"Miyazaki-kun, you have greatly offended the Military Police Security Office before." Onodera Masago reminded, "The head of the Second Section of the Security Office, Kubota Hiromi, is very angry and may harm you."
"Ryotaro Ishizaka, who was forced to retreat in a panic by your gun, is Hiromi Kubota's brother-in-law." He raised his glass, took a sip, and said.
"That's it." Cheng Qianfan nodded.
He looked at Atsuto Kawada, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
"Is there anything that Miyazaki-kun can't tell me?" Kawada Atsuto frowned.
"Go down." Cheng Qianfan pinched the chest of the geisha in his arms, and when the geisha twisted her butt in pain, he laughed and said.
The geishas looked at each other, stood up, bowed to the guests, stepped back in their wooden clogs, and obediently closed the sliding door.
……
"Someone tried to assassinate me with a bomb that day," Cheng Qianfan said. "You should all know about this."
Kawada Atsuto and Onodera Masago both nodded.
"At that time, I caught two suspects." Cheng Qianfan said, "One of them actually said he was an imperial agent."
Atsuto Kawada and Masago Onodera both frowned, as they were not aware of this situation before.
"I shot and killed that man directly." Cheng Qianfan said calmly, "The Chinese name used by this man is Jixianglin."
"Well done." Kawada Atsuto snorted coldly. If it is true as Kentaro Miyazaki said, that someone inside the empire wants to harm Kentaro Miyazaki, this is a provocation to the Kawada family!
"Mr. Miyazaki suspects that the man is related to the gendarmerie?" Onodera Masago said thoughtfully.
"I just caught the criminal who was trying to assassinate me, and the military police came over with guns and bullets, and asked me to hand him over." Cheng Qianfan sneered, "If it was Onodera, would you have any doubts?"
Onodera Masago nodded silently. If it were him, he would also have doubts.
……
"Mr. Miyazaki, why don't you take that man away for interrogation?" asked Sakamoto Ryōno, who had been listening to the three people's conversation.
Atsuto Kawada looked at Kentaro Miyazaki, he was also puzzled. Although Kentaro Miyazaki directly shot and killed Jixianglin, which made Atsuto Kawada feel relieved, but, as Mr. Sakamoto said, if this person was kept alive and interrogated strictly, wouldn't it be possible to find out the mastermind behind the scenes within the empire?
Cheng Qianfan looked at Onodera Masago.
Atsuto Kawada was just a young nobleman who came here to gild his reputation and was not familiar with espionage work, while Ryouno Sakamoto was just a bookworm and did not understand this.
He believed that as a professional, Onodera Masago would definitely understand the reason.
This is one of Cheng Qianfan's little tricks. He is not in a hurry to explain, but first gives the enemy a chance to use his imagination freely. Then he can prescribe the right medicine and guide them without leaving any trace.
In this way, the analysis conclusion is drawn by the other party himself, and he can eliminate suspicion to the greatest extent.
"Miyazaki was right to shoot and kill Jixianglin." Onodera Masago said thoughtfully.
"This person claims to be an imperial agent. Let's assume that if the assassination of Miyazaki-kun is indeed related to some people in the empire, or even the military police." He looked at the few people and continued, "Ishizaka Ryotaro will never allow Miyazaki-kun to take Jixianglin away."
Atsuto Kawada and Ryouno Sakamoto both nodded, what Onodera Masago said was right.
"You can't take the person with you, and Miyazaki-kun is unwilling to hand him over." Onodera Masago said, "Just kill him and vent your anger. In this way, although Ishizaka Ryotaro will be angry, he will also feel relieved."
"Yes, Jixianglin is dead, and the clues are gone." Kawada Atsuto said thoughtfully, looking at Miyazaki Kentaro, "Killing Jixianglin may make it impossible to continue the investigation, but it is better than handing him over to Ishizaka Ryotaro."
"Not only that, if Miyazaki-kun insists on not handing over the person, Ishizaka Ryotaro will only continue to be tough, and the two sides will confront each other with guns. If a gun goes off accidentally... things will be troublesome." Onodera Masago said, he glanced at Miyazaki Kentaro, "Although Miyazaki-kun seems to have lost control of his temper and killed people to vent his anger, he actually put the overall situation first and felt wronged."
Atsuto Kawada looked at Kentaro Miyazaki, and after listening to Onodera Masago's analysis, he realized that his good friend had suffered such a great injustice.
Thinking about how Miyazaki Kentaro had suffered such injustice, but in order not to trouble him and to prevent him from being caught in the middle, he had to bear it all alone, he felt more touched for Miyazaki Kentaro and even a little guilty.
The young master of the Kawada family was unable to protect his own retainers. This is absolutely not allowed.
……
"I understand." Sakamoto Ryouno suddenly said loudly.
All three of them looked at Sakamoto Yosano.
Cheng Qianfan also showed surprise and curiosity. Mr. Sakamoto, what do you understand now?
"Ishizaka Ryotaro later withdrew under pressure, seemingly because of the large number of people and strong firepower of the police station." Sakamoto Ryōno said, "In fact, it was because Jixianglin was dead, and Ishizaka Ryotaro didn't have to worry too much about the matter being exposed, so he simply took advantage of the situation and pretended to be surrounded and forced by the police, and retreated with hatred."
Onodera Masago nodded slightly.
Atsuto Kawada also looked thoughtful.
Cheng Qianfan applauded Sakamoto Ryouno's analysis in his heart. He frowned and thought, then he showed a look of sudden realization and nodded, "Sakamoto-kun is right."
He said to the others, "In fact, when Ishizaka Ryotaro faced the guns of my men, he finally chose to swallow his anger and evacuate. For me, I was relieved, but at the same time, I couldn't help but feel a little confused."
Cheng Qianfan took a sip of sake and said, "Based on my understanding of the imperial soldiers, they can win even if they face a Chinese army that is several times larger than their own. It is questionable that Ishizaka Ryotaro is willing to swallow his anger when facing the police station."
He said, "Of course, this can also be understood as Ishizaka Ryotaro having a big picture view and not wanting to cause further conflict between the Empire and the French. This is also possible."
"However," Cheng Qianfan said, "After listening to Mr. Sakamoto's analysis, I think this situation is the most consistent with the actual situation."
As he spoke, he raised his glass to Sakamoto Ryouno, "I never thought that Mr. Sakamoto is so smart and meticulous that he could see through the truth at a glance."
Sakamoto Ryouno showed a look of delight and took a sip of wine. He came to this conclusion by putting himself in the shoes of the person involved and thinking from the perspective of a novel writer. He did not expect that his words would turn out to be so right.
I am indeed a natural born novelist.
"Sakamoto-kun's analysis makes sense." Onodera Masago nodded slightly. "From this point of view, we can't rule out the possibility that Ishizaka Ryotaro is the one who knew about the bomb attack on Miyazaki-kun."
"Whether Ishizaka Ryotaro is an insider or even a participant, I don't have any actual evidence for the time being." Cheng Qianfan said, "However, Mr. Sakamoto's words reminded me of some of the information I obtained from the subsequent interrogation of the other suspect, Fei Xianda."
"What's going on?" Kawada Atsuto asked immediately.
"Fei Xianda knew that Jixianglin was an imperial agent, but he said he didn't know which agency Jixianglin belonged to." Cheng Qianfan said, "However, Fei Xianda provided some details that seem to support some of the evidence."
All three looked at Miyazaki Kentaro.
……
Cheng Qianfan did not continue speaking immediately. He took several sips of sake and his expression became increasingly gloomy.
"Miyazaki-kun, feel free to tell me what you want to say." Kawada Atsuto said in a deep voice, "I will take care of everything for you."
What Cheng Qianfan was waiting for was what Atsuto Kawada said.
"According to Fei Xianda, he confessed that the man named Jixianglin was introduced to Fei Xianda by Sergeant Yamauchi Junye of the gendarmerie." Cheng Qianfan said slowly with a gloomy face.
"Someone inside the empire wants to harm me." He looked resentful, took another sip of wine, and then put the glass down heavily.
