Chapter 500 Thousands of sails pass by the side of the sunken boat

“I have heard of ‘Chen Zhou’,” Cheng Qianfan said.

"However, my subordinate entered the patrol room and pretended to be Cheng Qianfan in May of the year before last under the arrangement of Mr. Yingzuo." Cheng Qianfan said. He almost said that he joined the patrol in the winter of the year before last. Fortunately, he reacted extremely well. Quick, quick response, no change of expression, no flaws.

“Since my subordinate pretended to be Cheng Qianfan, ‘Chen Zhou’ has not committed crimes in his jurisdiction, so I have not fought with this person.” Cheng Qianfan showed regret.

 Sanbonjiro glanced at this guy and said to himself, "Only you can fight against 'Chen Zhou'?"

Who gave you the courage to say this?

hehe.

 …

Feeling the contemptuous look in Sanbonjiro's eyes, Cheng Qianfan smiled, "However, my subordinates worked diligently and checked many old files in the patrol room to understand the situation. Among them, there is an old case related to 'Chenzhou'."

"In the autumn of the year before last year, in an apartment on Terrace Road, the Red Party traitor Su Yishan was still killed under the protection of five national government bodyguards. Also killed with him were the five national government Party Affairs Investigation Bureau members. bodyguard." Cheng Qianfan continued.

“The file records that out of the five bodyguards, three were shot in the head and should have been shot to death. One of the other two was stabbed to death with a dagger, and the other had his neck violently broken.”

"As for Su Yishan." Cheng Qianfan paused and thought for a moment, "This person should be the last to be killed. He was stabbed to death with a dagger."

“This case is an unsolved case in the French Concession. The murderer has not been identified. Even the files only judge that this case is most likely the work of the Red Party Special Branch ‘Chen Zhou’.”

 Sanbonjiro nodded. Wang Kangnian also reported on the case Cheng Qianfan mentioned.

Wang Kangnian judged that the assassination of Zou Fengqi was committed by Chen Zhou. An important basis was that three of the three people in the murder of Su Yishan were killed with one shot.

 There was also another shooting case on Terrastro Road the year before last. When Wang Kangnian's men were rounding up the Red Party, they were single-handedly rescued by a mysterious man. This man also shot dead with one shot.

 The most important thing is that in both cases, the people who were shot were shot in the head.

Zou Fengqi was also shot in the head and died with one shot.

Of course, Wang Kangnian also knew that it was not convincing enough to conclude that Zou Fengqi was killed by the Red Party's "Chen Zhou" based on just this one characteristic. This person also bluntly said that his judgment that "Chen Zhou" did it was more because of his own intuition.

 …

 At this moment, Cheng Qianfan suddenly looked strange.

"What's wrong?" Sanbonjiro noticed the change in Cheng Qianfan's expression and asked immediately.

“Suddenly, I had an idea that seemed a bit bizarre,” Cheng Qianfan said.

 “What association, tell me.” Sanbonjiro showed curiosity.

“Cheng Qianfan and Chen Zhou, well, these two people.” Cheng Qianfan paused and said, “Thousands of sails passed by the side of the sinking boat! The ‘sinking boat’ is ‘Chen Zhou’.”

As he spoke, a strange light appeared in Cheng Qianfan's eyes, "Section Chief, do you think it is possible that Cheng Qianfan and Chen Zhou are the same person? Cheng Qianfan is the master of special operations of the Red Party, 'Chen Zhou'?"

 Then, he saw Sanbonjiro looking at him as if he was a fool.

 …

 Cheng Qianfan touched his nose and felt a little at a loss.

“If Cheng Qianfan was ‘Chen Zhou’ and Miyazaki-kun was following him, you wouldn’t have killed him, but Cheng Qianfan would have killed you.” Sanbonjiro said coldly.

Cheng Qianfan looked embarrassed and smiled.

"There is one thing you don't know." Sanbonjiro said, "Two months before you pretended to be Cheng Qianfan, Yingzuo-kun had arranged for the White Russians to attack and kill Cheng Qianfan. According to Yingzuo-kun's report, although Cheng Qianfan He was lucky enough to save his life, but his behavior was very immature and he was not an experienced or capable agent at all."

Jiro Sanbon has carefully read through the files and reports left by Eiichi Kagezu. In such a sudden attack, people's instinctive reaction is to save themselves at all costs, which cannot be faked.

Therefore, based on an ancient Chinese poem, Miyazaki Kentaro made an association and said that Cheng Qianfan was "Chen Zhou". This seemed to be a good imagination, but in fact there was no possible wild imagination.

Besides, Cheng Qianfan had been killed by Kentaro Miyazaki the year before last. If Wang Kangnian’s speculation turned out to be true, it would be even more impossible for this ‘Chenzhou’ to have any contact with Cheng Qianfan back then.

 Mimotojiro shook his head. Kentaro Miyazaki was indeed not a professional agent. As long as he had received systematic training, he would not talk such nonsense.

 …

"My subordinates didn't think well enough." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "If you think about it carefully, Cheng Qianfan has always hated the Red Party and has even personally captured the Red Party. It is indeed impossible for him to have anything to do with the Red Party before."

“Zou Fengqi’s assassination case, you should keep an eye on the police station and report any news immediately.” Sanbonjiro said in a deep voice. He shook his head, “Don’t think about your business.”

Miyazaki Kentaro, what a smart young man. He had high hopes before, but now he is obsessed with money.

 If it weren't for...that's all.

“Yes!” Cheng Qianfan immediately saluted and said sternly, “My subordinates never dare to slack off in their duties, remain loyal to the emperor, and contribute their small amount to the glory of the Japanese Empire.”

 “Go.” Sanbonjiro waved his hand.

 …

 Seeing Cheng Qianfan standing still, he frowned and asked, "What else is there?"

"There is one more thing that is a bit strange. After thinking about it again and again, I feel it is necessary to report it to the section chief." Cheng Qianfan said hesitantly.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Sanbonjiro picked up the document and said casually without looking up.

“Section Chief, the person who presided over the regular meeting of the Central Patrol Room today is not Qin Detai, but Deputy Chief Inspector Jin Kemu.” Cheng Qianfan said.

Sanbonjiro suddenly raised his head and looked at Araki Harima, "Is there any movement over Qin Detai's side?"

"No, Qin Detai is still at home and has been keeping someone watching." Araki Harima said.

 Sanbonjiro nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

“Is it common for Qin Detai to be absent from the patrol room and Jin Kemu to chair the meeting on his behalf?” Sanbonjiro asked Cheng Qianfan.

“Although it’s not common, it’s not unheard of.” Cheng Qianfan said, “But…”

 “But what?” Sanbonjiro asked with a frown.

“Xi Neng, the squad leader of the Political Department’s investigation team, attended the meeting. He announced an appointment of Ferguson, the chief police officer of the French Concession Patrol Room. This appointment is a bit weird.” Cheng Qianfan said with a frown.

"What personnel appointment?" Sanbonjiro's expression changed and he asked eagerly.

"Xi Neng announced that Chief Inspector Qin Detai will leave Shanghai for a few days due to temporary important matters. During Qin Detai's absence in Shanghai, the duties of Chief Inspector of the Central District will be temporarily taken over by Deputy Chief Inspector Jin Kemu." Cheng Qianfan said.

 “Bag duck falls!” Sanbonjiro cursed angrily, “Why didn’t you tell me about such an important thing earlier?”

 Cheng Qianfan was stunned by the scolding and opened his mouth. Seeing Sanbonjiro's angry look, he did not dare to defend himself after all.

"What are you still doing?" Sanbonjiro pointed at Araki Harima's nose and scolded him, "Immediately send someone into Qin Detai's house to see if he is still there?"
