Chapter 727 Naito’s Suspicion

Araki Harima ordered two of his men to guard the door and not allow anyone to approach.

“Assistant Naito, can you speak now?” he asked.

"Captain Araki." Tsubasa Naito considered the words and said, "The Consulate General has suggested to the Special Higher Education Department that your colleague Kentaro Miyazaki participate in the investigation of this case. I wonder what Captain Araki thinks of this?"

"Kentaro Miyazaki is a student of Professor Hiroyuki Taniguchi. He is a person who knows the professor better, and it is understandable to participate in the investigation of this case." Araki Harima glanced at Naito Tsubasa, "Assistant Naito seems to have a different view on this arrangement. "

“To be honest, I don’t think Kentaro Miyazaki is suitable to participate in the investigation of this case.” Naito Kotsubo said straight to the point.

“Do you suspect that Kentaro Miyazaki has a problem?” Araki Harima frowned, looked deeply at Naito Tsubasa, and asked.

"I have no evidence to prove that there is something wrong with Kentaro Miyazaki, but there are indeed some things about him that cannot be explained." Kotsubo Naito shook his head first and then continued.

 “Can’t explain?” Araki Harima asked.

"Captain Araki should still remember the assassination that happened at the entrance of the Terrace Road Police Hospital." Tsubasa Naito handed Araki a cigarette. Araki took it but didn't smoke. He just put it aside. Naito Kotsubasa wasn't angry either.

“You are referring to the incident where Kentaro Miyazaki and a doctor from the police hospital were shot together?” Araki Harima asked.

"Captain Araki, don't you find it strange?" Naito Tsubasa said, "Miyazaki Kentaro and his teacher Nagatomo Tsubasa just met, and they were attacked. Miyazaki Kentaro was shot, and his teacher Nagatomo Tsubasa The man was killed.”

 He ​​looked at Araki Harima, "And this time, Kentaro Miyazaki was about to meet with his teacher, Professor Hiroyuki Taniguchi, and then Professor Taniguchi was suddenly shot in the guest house, and Kentaro Miyazaki was also shot at the same time."

Araki Harima looked at Naito Tsubasa who was talking eloquently, and he frowned slightly.

“Captain Araki, Nagatomo Akio and Taniguchi Hiroyuki were assassinated one after another. Don’t you think what happened to Miyazaki Kentaro in these two incidents was a bit too bizarre?” Naito Kotsubo said.

"How do you know Mr. Nagatomo's name?" Araki Harima did not answer Naito Tsubasa's question, but asked with an extremely serious expression, "This matter has been classified as confidential. Where did you learn about it?"

 …

 Father Jin Road, the alley entrance of Shuanglongfang Apartment.

Cao Binsheng was a little tipsy, humming a little tune in his mouth, with a smile of anticipation and excitement on his face.

This plainclothes deputy detective from the Fuxi District Police Department has a little singing girl in Shuanglongfang Apartment. The woman is not only graceful in appearance, but the most important thing is her voice, which is like a lark.

He was followed by two men, both of whom were also half drunk. They were chatting about happy topics and showing lewd smiles.

At this moment, a sudden gunshot broke the tranquility of the night.

 Cao Binsheng's body suddenly fell backward.

 The two men were stunned. Perhaps because of alcohol, they were not able to draw their guns immediately.

 Bang bang bang bang bang!

 Four gunshots were fired.

 The two men were shot twice each and were killed immediately and fell to the ground.

Jiang Mulezi wore a peaked cap on his head. He emerged from the night with a few of his men. This gangster who had 'contracted' most of the major cases in Shanghai and could barely stop the children from crying at night strode to Cao Binsheng's side. .

Looking at Cao Binsheng who was still crawling on the ground, Jiang Mulezi pointed his gun down and directly pulled the trigger:

 Bang, bang, bang!

 At the same time, several other men also fired at Cao Binsheng's men.

After replenishing the gun, Jiang Mulezi took out a piece of white paper and threw it on Cao Binsheng's body.

 In black and white, it says:

 The fate of traitors!

 …

"Miyazaki-kun, I have some very unfortunate news to tell you." Sanbonjiro said.

Cheng Qianfan was showing off to the section chief how he cut the meat from Xia Wenqiao's hands. When he heard Sanbonjiro say this, he raised his head and let out an "ah" in surprise and confusion.

“Your teacher, Professor Hiroyuki Taniguchi, was attacked by thugs and unfortunately died.” Mimotojiro said slowly, at the same time, his eyes were fixed on Kentaro Miyazaki.

"What?" Cheng Qianfan opened his mouth wide and his eyes widened. He looked at Sanbonjiro, unable to believe his ears, as if to confirm what he heard.

“The news has been confirmed. Professor Taniguchi was attacked by thugs and unfortunately died.” Mimotojiro nodded.

A look of sadness flashed across Cheng Qianfan's eyes. He did not cry as sadly as Sanbonjiro expected. On the contrary, in addition to the look of sadness, he sighed heavily, with a complicated expression, as if he was nostalgic. , there is sadness, but also two parts of relief and one part of anger.

 He looked at Sanbonjiro, "Teacher is just a scholar who is at peace with his studies. Who could kill him so viciously?"

As he spoke, Cheng Qianfan frowned, "Is it the 'Anti-Japanese Killing Group' commanded by the military in Tianjin? Don't they usually only attack Chinese people who defect to the empire?"

 …

 “Mother of the register!” Zhang Xiaolin regretted and scolded, “The rural register in the kiln has a good fortune.”

The small probability event of bullet stuck was hit by Cheng Qianfan, and Zhang Xiaolin shouted.

As he spoke, he sneered, "Xia Wenqiao's men attacked Cheng Qianfan. I want to see if the two of them can fight with him this time."

Zhan Si, who was standing aside, saw this and finally couldn't hold it back. He chuckled proudly. Zhan Si stood up and said, "Boss, Fang Hui's attack on Cheng Qianfan was carefully planned by my subordinates."

 …

“It’s unclear who attacked Professor Taniguchi.” Sanbonjiro shook his head, “However, what is certain is that this attack was carefully planned by the other party.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Kentaro Miyazaki and said slowly, "Also, what you don't know is that Professor Taniguchi was not attacked in Tianjin, he was killed in Shanghai."

 …

"Of course I know." Naito Kotsubo looked at Araki Harima, his expression was heavy with a hint of sigh, a hint of bitter smile, and a hint of anger.

"Assistant Naito, please make it clear. This matter is confidential. If you can't make it clear, I will have to take some unfriendly actions." Araki Harima said with a gloomy face.

“The reason why I know this is because my special status and the nature of my work at the Consulate General gave me the opportunity and channels to apply for access to relevant files——” he paused for a moment and continued.

 “I am a family member of the victim.”

“Your Excellency Nagatomo Atsuo was shot at the entrance to the Terrace Road Police Hospital and unfortunately died.” Kotsubo Naito said with a serious and painful expression, “He was my uncle.”
