Chapter 1141 Sister-in-law

 Special Higher Education Course, Special Research Laboratory of Telecommunications.

“Chief, what’s wrong with your nose?” Nohara Kenji asked in surprise.

Hiroyuki Kikube glared at Kenji Nohara.

This guy has no eyesight.

Nohara Ken'er smiled coquettishly. As soon as he said the words, he knew that he should not ask too much.

“Chief, have you found out the whereabouts of Ogasawara?” He quickly changed the topic and asked.

Hiroyuki Kikube shook his head and frowned.

That day, after Nohara Kenji and Aburaya were released from the police station, they counted the number of people who entered the French Concession for inspection, and found out that Ogasawara, who was responsible for inspecting radio signals on Father Kin Road, had never returned.

Hiroyuki Kikube immediately realized that something was going on over at Ogasawara.

 Subsequently, he ordered his agents to search around the French Concession for Ogasawara's whereabouts, but found nothing.

In addition, not only Ogasawara is missing, but Xin Xiangyin, who was originally pretending to be a rickshaw driver, has also disappeared.

“Looking at it now, Ogasawara is most likely in danger.” Kikube Hiroo said solemnly. He looked at Nohara Kenji, “From a professional point of view, do you think there are any old friends of ours on Father Jin Road?”

Ogasawara disappeared on Father Kim Road. He was on a mission to detect radio signals. From the results, it can be deduced that Ogasawara's disappearance is most likely related to this mission. Also, Ogasawara discovered clues on Father Kim Road, or even captured him. Received the exact radio signal.

After Ogasawara disappeared, Kikube Hiroyuki secretly sent people to conduct a detailed search and inquiry on Father King Road, but no valuable clues were obtained. No one even noticed that a person like Ogasawara appeared on Father King Road.

 Precisely because he did not obtain any clues, Kikube's suspicion about Father Jin's road increased.

 Nothing else, it’s too clean.

Ogasawara is a professional agent of the empire. According to the special field agent regulations of the Special High School, even if an agent encounters an unexpected situation, he will find a way to leave some clues before he is broken into pieces and captured.

 The current situation is that Ogasawara seems to have never appeared on Father Kim Road and did not leave any hidden traces.

"Chief, with the signal meter we set up in the New Asia Hotel, we can currently only locate the radio signal in the central area of ​​the French Concession. We are not yet able to accurately locate it in a certain street." Nohara Kenji shook his head and said, "The last operation failed. Later, the patrol room stepped up patrols on the streets, and we had to temporarily stop using radio wave locators to search streets and alleys."

 “Bag duck falls!” Hiroyuki Kikube cursed.

There is obviously something wrong with Father Jin's road, but no clues can be found, which makes Hiroo Kikube almost crazy.

Thinking of this, Hiroyuki Kikube hated Kentaro Miyazaki even more. The greedy Kentaro Miyazaki used forest safety as an excuse in the French Concession to deprive citizens of their money and cut down trees wantonly, especially on Father Jin Road and the adjacent areas. The streets next door were even worse. This directly led to the trees on the street being cut down, the roads being cleaned, and even the walls being repainted. Of course, Miyazaki did not forget to forcibly collect the so-called "wall" from the homes of citizens facing the street. Surface purification service fee'.

Although on the surface, there is nothing unusual about this major street safety and sanitation improvement operation in the Central Patrol House of the French Concession, it is also in line with Miyazaki Kentaro's greedy and money-grabbing temperament.

However, Kikube Hiroo still felt it was too much of a coincidence.

 How could it be such a coincidence?

Ogasawara disappeared while on duty on Father Kim Road. The central area of ​​the French Concession, especially Father Kim Road and surrounding streets, vigorously carried out so-called forest safety activities?

 Once was a coincidence?

 Twice?

Hiroyuki Taniguchi had just arrived in Shanghai from Hong Kong and was suddenly assassinated before attending the welcome dinner hosted by His Excellency Counselor Hyōtaro Imamura. Hiroyuki Taniguchi was the mentor of Kentaro Miyazaki.

 What about three times?

Sugao Nagatomo was assassinated and killed by the Shanghai Military Station at the entrance of the Terrasto Road Police Hospital. At that time, it was Kentaro Miyazaki who accompanied Atsuo Nagatomo.

 How can there be such a coincidence?

Every time something happens, I can always have something to do with Kentaro Miyazaki!

Naito Kotsubo has always insisted that there is something wrong with Miyazaki Kentaro. This is not without reason, nor is it just due to personal grudges.

but-

Hiroyuki Kikube lit a cigarette, his brows furrowed.

 …

Although he tends to support Naito's point of view and thinks that Kentaro Miyazaki is problematic, these coincidences can be explained:

When Nagatomo Akio was assassinated, Miyazaki Kentaro was also shot at the same time. Later, according to the confession of Lu Fei of the Shanghai Station Operation Team of the military command who surrendered to the empire, he was responsible for the assassination of Nagatomo Akio, and he was also responsible for the assassination. He ordered to shoot Cheng Qianfan at the same time. Unfortunately, the primary target was the doctor and he did not have time to kill Cheng Qianfan completely.

Lu Fei’s confession was the most powerful evidence, and it was able to clear Kentaro Miyazaki’s suspicion.

On the day Hiroyuki Taniguchi was assassinated, Kentaro Miyazaki was also assassinated at the same time. In a sense, this was too much of a coincidence. From the analysis of Kobasa Naito and Hiroyuki Kikube, the coincidence was obviously stupid. ,but-

This can actually be explained:

The lame man who assassinated Cheng Qianfan had his legs broken by someone sent by Cheng Qianfan. This man was used by the Suhu District of the Central Command, and the Central Command induced the lame man to launch an assassination operation against Cheng Qianfan.

The Central Command officer who presided over this operation was Dong Zhengguo, codenamed "First Officer", and Dong Zhengguo's direct boss was Su Chende. These two people were arrested successively and took refuge in No. 76, and Su Chende, The confessions of both Dong Zhengguo and Dong Zhengguo confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the assassination of Cheng Qianfan at the door of the department store. It was indeed an assassination operation planned by them, with the purpose of killing Cheng Qianfan.

This is what Kikube Hiroyuki is most troubled and resentful about. Several coincidences are related to Kentaro Miyazaki. As an agent, he never believed in so many coincidences. However, judging from the facts, these coincidences are all related. There is the strongest evidence to explain—

 There is no more powerful evidence than the confessions of Lu Fei, Su Chende, Dong Zhengguo, etc. who defected to the empire.

“Closely monitor the airwave signals.” Hiroyuki Kikube said with a gloomy face, “Our old friends may be visiting us in the next two days.”

“Which old friend is the room chief referring to?” Nohara Kenji couldn’t help but ask.

“I tell you to keep an eye on it, and keep a close eye on suspicious signals 24 hours a day.” Kikube Hiroo said angrily.

He didn't know which old friend it was, and he didn't know which force Kentaro Miyazaki served.

Hiroyuki Kikube took a deep drag on the cigarette and snorted in his heart. He wanted to see if Kentaro Miyazaki was a human or a ghost!

Although he did not know the inside story of Kentaro Miyazaki's secret mission, from what he saw, this mission was a joint secret meeting between Toshihiko Okada and Jiro Sanmoto, and even the whereabouts of Kentaro Miyazaki were closely monitored. He was allowed to go home and left Shanghai overnight, which shows the importance and confidentiality of this mission.

If Kentaro Miyazaki really has a problem, he will definitely find a way to pass on the information about this confidential mission.

Therefore, when Hiroyuki Kikube accompanied Kentaro Miyazaki back to the arresting room on the order of Sanhonjiro, he specifically gave Kentaro Miyazaki and Peter time to talk privately. He believed that if Kentaro Miyazaki really had a problem, he would definitely not let him go. It was La Pitt, a Frenchman who went into the water, and Pitt was the accomplice beside Kentaro Miyazaki who had the most suitable cover identity.

In other words, even if Peter is not an accomplice, given the cooperative relationship between Miyazaki Kentaro and Peter, Miyazaki Kentaro asked Peter to help deliver information, such as a letter or a confidential note. This is very easy to do. .

In addition, except for pretending to be reprimanded by Peter and being successfully driven away, Kikube strictly followed Sanbonjiro's orders at other times and stayed close to Miyazaki Kentaro, which to a certain extent made Miyazaki Kentaro careless.

  He believed that Kentaro Miyazaki would take advantage of the opportunity for him to have a private conversation with Pitt.

Now, all he has to do is wait and see if a familiar radio signal will appear in the next two days.

Although if a familiar radio signal does appear, it cannot be proven from the evidence that it is related to Kentaro Miyazaki, but in the heart of Hiroyuki Kikube, his suspicion of Kentaro Miyazaki has become stronger.

 Intelligence work, constantly increasing suspicion, is itself evidence!

 …

 The Section Chief's Office.

After hearing Yutani’s secret report, Sanbonjiro’s eyes flashed and he smiled.

He had already seen what Kikube was thinking, and arranged for Hiroyuki Kikube to accompany Kentaro Miyazaki back to the patrol room. This was also within the plan, and everything was under the control of the section chief.

Hiroyuki Kikube insisted that Kentaro Miyazaki was suspicious, and the basis for his suspicions had been reported to Sanbonjiro.

  Objectively speaking, Sanbonjiro trusts Kentaro Miyazaki.

 But, as Kikube Hiroo insists, if there are too many coincidences, they are no longer coincidences.

Hiroyuki Kikube bites Kentaro Miyazaki and won’t let him go, so let him check it out.

At this moment, the phone on the desk rang.

 “Moxi Moshi.” Sanbonjiro picked up the phone.

"Okay, I know, keep a close eye on it." Sanbonjiro hung up the phone, sat down on the chair, leaned back, and fell into deep thought.

Xiaochi arranged for the person monitoring Li Hao to report that Li Hao had an appointment with his colleague Zhong Guohao for a drink after get off work...

Li Hao and Zhong Guohao are both Kentaro Miyazaki's most trusted subordinates in the Central Patrol Room. It seems normal for the two of them to have drinks together after get off work.

but-

 Sanbonjiro shook his head slightly.

 At other times, this should be normal and reasonable.

 However, it is somewhat inappropriate today:

The eldest brother Cheng Qianfan was on an urgent business trip and entrusted the safety of his family to Li Hao.

 At least tonight, Li Hao should go back to the Cheng Mansion for dinner, arrange the Cheng Mansion's security work, and at least ask his sister-in-law if she has any business requirements and arrangements.

In addition, Cheng Qianfan was out on business urgently, so Bai Ruolan must be worried. Li Hao had to return to Cheng Mansion out of emotion and reason, and convey Cheng Qianfan's instructions before leaving to Bai Ruolan.

 You can drink with Zhong Guohao at any time. You must know that according to Kentaro Miyazaki's report, Cheng Qianfan regarded Li Hao as his own brother. Given Li Hao's loyalty to Cheng Qianfan, it does not make sense that he did not choose to return to Cheng Mansion.

 …

 Li Hao’s home.

“How come Brother Fan was suddenly sent to Tianjin on business?” Hao Zai asked in a deep voice.

“It happened suddenly, and Brother Fan didn’t know what he meant,” Li Hao said.

"I asked people to inquire, but I didn't hear anything happened in Tianjin." Hao Zai said, "Of course, it may be that something did happen in Tianjin, but it was just not allowed to spread."

"Brother Fan said something before." Li Hao thought for a while and said, "If some things can be spread and can be easily found out, it means the problem is not big. If you can't find out, it means the matter is not big."

He looked at Hao Zai and said, "So, there may be something going on in the French Concession in Tianjin."

 Hao Zai took a puff of his cigarette.

The two looked at each other. Their analysis seemed to be sound, but in fact it was all nonsense. This made both of them feel confused.

 “Did Brother Fan have anything special to say?” Hao Zai asked.

"Hiroyuki Kikube is on the side, Brother Fan is very careful." Li Hao thought, "However, with Brother Fan's ability, there must be something to say in the conversation, but I am too stupid, and I don't know which words may be useful at the moment." .”

"Think about it carefully." Hao Zai said quickly. He paused and then asked, "Will Brother Fan pass Pete..."

 “Absolutely impossible!” Li Hao said firmly.

 Given Brother Fan’s character, he will not trust any outsider unless he is a real brother who joins the gang.

 “Don’t be anxious, think slowly.” Hao Zai said.

"Brother Fan said, 'Keep an eye on those idiots under your command, stay safe and don't cause trouble.'" Li Hao said, with a thoughtful look on his face, "I think this means, let us not Even if you act rashly, you will always be on standby."

"That should be the meaning." Hao Zai nodded, "Brother Fan doesn't have the time or opportunity to give us orders. In order to prevent us from taking rash actions due to unknown circumstances, that's why he said this."

 He looked at Li Hao and said, "Haozi, think about it again, what else is there?"

"And there's more." Li Hao took the cigarette handed over by Hao Zai, lit it with a match, and took a puff, "Brother Fan said, 'Your sister-in-law is capable of running a household, even if she is a female child. Senior, my knowledge is incomparable to yours."

He paused, flicked the ashes of his cigarette, and said, "Brother Fan also specially reminded her, 'Remember, I'm not at home, and her words represent me.'"

“‘I’m not at home, and her words represent me.’” Hao Zai thought about this sentence carefully.

He looked at Li Hao and said, "Haozi, I think this sentence is what Brother Fan wants to emphasize."

He put out the cigarette **** in his hand, "Brother Fan suddenly left Shanghai, what will the special situation team do? If something happens during his absence, who will be in charge? This is the most direct question."

"You mean, Brother Fan seems to be talking about his family, but he is actually talking about who will be the temporary leader of the special situation team?" Li Hao also thought about it.

 “That should be it.” Hao Zai nodded.

“Then, who is Brother Fan talking about?”

 …

 The two looked at each other.

 First of all, the sister-in-law Bai Ruolan was excluded. The sister-in-law is not a member of the special group. In fact, the sister-in-law is an ordinary person. Brother Fan has never thought of dragging her into the army.

"Could it be..." Hao Zai suddenly looked strange and whispered, "Tao Zi?"

"peach?"

 The two of them said almost in unison.

Taozi looks more feminine than a woman, Taozi, sister-in-law, is Brother Fan using this to imply that sister-in-law **** on Taozi? !

Moreover, both of them knew that within the Shanghai Special Affair Group, Brother Fan admired and valued Qiao Chuntao the most, and had been cultivating Taozi's ability to take charge of her own affairs. If Brother Fan would appoint someone to be the temporary leader, Taozi was indeed the most likely candidate. .

 The more the two of them thought about it, the more they felt that this was the case!

 …

 Ten minutes later.

Hao Zi and Hao Zai said something to each other. After I finished speaking, the two pairs of eyes looked directly at Tao Zi.

Tao Zi’s face turned red. This was not because of shyness, but because of anger.

 He glared at the two of them fiercely.

Haozi and Haozi looked at each other, and they both clicked their tongues in their hearts. Taozi's facial expressions didn't make her look like a sister-in-law, but more like a concubine.

 “Three o’clock.” Taozi raised three fingers.

"First, the team leader has indeed made an explanation before. If he is temporarily unavailable, I will temporarily lead the special situation team." Taozi said, he paused, and then added, "However, it is limited to the special situation team. Headquarters and the Rangers are still in charge of Jiang Mulezi and Captain Lu."

"Second." Taozi said with a serious expression, "Haozi is being watched here."

 Haozi and Haozi's expressions changed.

"Calm down." Taozi said in a deep voice, "I sneaked in through the dog hole in Jiaben Lane, and they didn't notice me."

 The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no problem for Haozi and Haozi to have wine at home, but this is not the case with Taozi. If the person under surveillance sees Taozi, then Taozi will inevitably come into the sight of the watcher.

Once you enter the enemy's sight, as long as you first suspect and investigate many things, there will always be clues that can be connected together.

 Fortunately, Taozi is alert and smart enough.

Haozi and Haozi winked:

Brother Fan is right. Although my sister-in-law is a female, she is more knowledgeable than them.

Hao Zai couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter.

Taozi's face darkened and he glared at the two of them fiercely. Although he didn't know what the two guys' sly looks meant, he didn't think he was taking any chances.

"Third, the 'sister-in-law' the team leader said means sister-in-law." Taozi said with a solemn expression, "The team leader means, let us ask sister-in-law for advice."

He glanced at Haozi and said, "To be precise, I asked Haozi to ask my sister-in-law for advice."

Seeing the dumbfounded looks of Haozi and Haozi, he continued, "Sister-in-law knows the team leader best. What words the team leader said, what he did, and what movements he made at that time may all be to speak to us. My sister-in-law can help us translate."

Taozi took a sip of water and continued, "As for that, why did you ask Haozi to ask my sister-in-law?"

 He looked at Li Hao and said, "Haozi, tell me."

Li Hao thought carefully and finally realized, "Brother Fan doesn't want my sister-in-law to get involved. It's best for me to ask. Just treat it as a family chat."

He said excitedly, "Sister-in-law is very smart and must know what I want to ask."
