   "Sakamoto-kun, this matter..." Cheng Qianfan's eyes full of gratitude turned into a deep salute, "Thank you."

   "This is what I should do." Sakamoto Yoshino shook his head and sighed softly, "This way, I can feel better in my heart."

   Hiroyuki Taniguchi was entertained by him, so Hiroyuki Taniguchi's security work has something to do with him.

   Hiroyuki Taniguchi was assassinated and died at the entrance of the Sakura Guest House of the Consulate General, or in front of his eyes. This incident dealt a great blow to Sakamoto Yoshino.

  He felt that he should be responsible for Hiroyuki Taniguchi's death. If, if he could pay attention to Hiroyuki Taniguchi's safety protection work, maybe this tragedy would not have happened.

  At the same time, Sakamoto Ryono felt uneasy and guilty about his friend Miyazaki Kentaro.

   Now that he can use this method to help Miyazaki-kun make up for a little bit of regret, he finally feels a little bit at ease.

   "Miyazaki-kun, you can do what you want, I'm going out." Sakamoto Yoshino bowed slightly to Miyazaki Kentaro.

  Cheng Qianfan immediately bowed back.

  …

  Watching Ryono Sakamoto close the door and leave, Cheng Qianfan began to carefully observe the indoor situation.

   There is a wooden bed in the room, a military blanket on the bed, a desk, a bench, several newspapers on the desk, and a thermos bottle on the floor. The furnishings are simple.

The location of this small room arranged by Ryono Sakamoto for him is excellent. Looking east from the window, you can just see the entrance of the mourning hall. However, all the guests who walk through the stone road and enter the mourning hall to express their condolences are basically there. Can't escape Cheng Qianfan's eyes.

  …

  Looking at the people in dark clothes who came to the mourning hall in an endless stream, Cheng Qianfan had a solemn expression. He would bow when the visitors arrived, and return the gift again when the mourners left.

  The expression is as solemn as his, and the sadness is beyond words, but in fact, he is sneering and contemptuous in his heart.

  Liu Naiyu, Chen Yun, and Liu Mingfei, the three hard-core traitorous literati from the "Wenyou Society" where Zhou Ru worked, appeared among the guests who came to express their condolences, as expected.

   There are other big and small traitors who are familiar to everyone.

  Even in Cheng Qianfan’s view, the setting up of the mourning hall by the Consulate General to ‘see off’ Hiroyuki Taniguchi is to some extent a collective appearance of these traitors and pro-Japanese elements who have defected to the Japanese.

Among these people, Cheng Qianfan can almost conclude that most of them may not know who Hiroyuki Taniguchi is, and they have never even heard of this person before. Came to express condolences with a sad gesture as if I had died—

  The Consulate General of Japan in Shanghai set up a mourning hall in person to express condolences. The person who died must be a great figure in the "Great Japanese Empire". The Japanese may not be angry if they don't go to mourn, but if they do, the Japanese will definitely be happy.

  As long as the traitors and pro-Japanese elements who feel that they are qualified to visit the door to pay homage, it can be said that they flock to it.

  Of course, he, Xiao Cheng, is also one of them.

  Zhang Xiaolin's subordinate, Pang Shui, also wore a black suit, and came to worship solemnly and respectfully.

  Cheng Qianfan watched Pang Shui leave, and he returned the salute with a solemn expression, but he was wondering if he would choose Zhan Si as the target if he attacked Zhang Xiaolin's subordinates? Or choose Pang Shui as the target?

  Zhang Xiaolin has many disciples and grandchildren, among which Zhan Si and Pang Shui are the most trusted.

  Zhan Si can fight and dare to kill, with so many lives in his hands; Pang Shui belongs to the category that can use his brain, this person is equivalent to half of Zhang Xiaolin's think tank to a certain extent.

  …

coming!

  Cheng Qianfan's eyes lit up.

  After these big and small traitors, pro-Japanese elements, and some Japanese expatriates, businessmen, and some Japanese literati and politicians in Shanghai mourned and left, finally, big shots began to appear.

  Heitaro Imamura came with Iwai Eiichi, and the two handed in incense and entered the mourning hall.

   A few minutes later, Cheng Qianfan watched Hyoutaro Imamura come out accompanied by Eiichi Iwai. After Hidetaro Imamura whispered a few words with Eiichi Imamura, he left first accompanied by other people, while Heutaro Imamura stayed behind.

  Cheng Qianfan's heart skipped a beat.

  The mourning hall was set up by the Consulate General. Since none of Hiroyuki Taniguchi's relatives and friends were there, and only one student, Goichi Nakatani, was temporarily acting as a family member, it was indeed necessary for the Consulate General to come forward.

  Hintaro Imamura seems to be staying to receive the guests, which shows that the identities of the visitors are extraordinary.

  What happened next proved Cheng Qianfan's guess.

  The sound of neat footsteps came.

  Looking from where Cheng Qianfan was, one could see a group of Japanese military police running towards them, and then lined up on both sides of the stone road leading to the mourning hall.

  The position of one of the Japanese military police on guard just affected Cheng Qianfan's viewing angle.

   He frowned slightly.

  Of course, not all of them are blocked, but a part of the line of sight is blocked:

  For example, if several people walked by at the same time, originally Cheng Qianfan could have a panoramic view of everyone's faces, but now he can only see the people at the far end.

   This is just luck, he can't find an excuse to leave this room and go out to spy.

  The reason why he stayed here was to silently 'welcome and see off' the guests as a disciple of Hiroshi Taniguchi. If he did anything else, it would obviously not be appropriate.

  …

   "Kagesa-kun." Seeing Kagesa Haruaki striding forward in an army uniform, Imamura Heutaro went up to meet him.

   "Imamura-kun."

  Cheng Qianfan vaguely heard Imamura Heutaro talking and shaking hands, but he only saw Imamura Heutaro, because his vision was blocked, he didn't see the person who was talking to Imamura Heutaro.

  However, judging from the words, the other party should be the Chief of the Military Affairs Division, Chief Kagesa Haruaki.

   "Imai-kun."

   "Imamura-kun."

  This person should be Takeo Imai from the General Staff Headquarters.

   "Mr. Mei." Heitaro Imamura raised his voice, "Mr. Mei's presence is the best manifestation of the friendship between Japan and China. On behalf of Professor Taniguchi's family, I would like to express my gratitude to you."

"Professor Taniguchi is a famous scholar and archaeologist in your country, and he is also a well-known scholar in China. He has made a lot of contributions to the research of Chinese archaeology. He can be regarded as a model of friendship between Japan and China. Unfortunately, God is jealous of talents." Mei Shenping shook his head with a sigh.

   "Please." Imamura Heutaro said.

  Cheng Qianfan's spirit was lifted. He just heard the title of 'Mr. Mei', and then he heard the words of this 'Mr. Mei', and he judged in his heart that this person was probably Mei Shenping.

  Of course, only hearing the voice but not seeing the person is lacking after all. It is best to be able to see the face of this person with your own eyes.

   Then, he saw a thin middle-aged man presenting the incense ceremony, clasped his hands together and said something, and then stepped into the mourning hall.

Although it was just a glance, Cheng Qianfan, who had already 'crushed' the photos of Mei Shenping and Gao Qingwu in his mind, was overjoyed. He could already confirm that this person was exactly what he had been looking for in recent days. 'Mesh Ping.

  Although Gao Qingwu was not seen, the appearance of Mei Shenping was enough to explain some problems.

  Mei Shenping most likely made secret contacts with the Japanese on behalf of the Wang family.

  In any case, after discovering Mei Shenping's traces and confirming with his own eyes that this person is with the Japanese high-level officials, Cheng Qianfan has gained a lot this time and has completed the task that Dai Chunfeng gave him.

  The Chongqing side only ordered him to cooperate with Song Fuguo in investigating the whereabouts of Mei and Gao, without further orders.

  …

   A few minutes later, Kagesa Haruaki and another person who he guessed should be Takeo Imai came out of the mourning hall. The two exchanged a few words with Imamura Heutaro, and then shook hands and left.

  Cheng Qianfan was surprised to find that Mei Shenping did not leave, but was led by Imamura Heutaro to the guest lounge.

  The two seemed to be talking happily.

   Is this the representative of Vice President Wang who has completed the contact task with the Japanese? Is there even some sort of consensus reached?

   Besides, Mei Shenping did not leave, but stayed here. What is the meaning of this?

  Could it be that Heitaro Imamura or other senior officials of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs are going to meet with Mei Shinpei?

  Afterwards, he saw Hyoutaro Imamura return to the entrance of the mourning hall, and arranged his clothes very seriously.

  His spirit was lifted, and the identity of the person waiting to be greeted by Imamura Heutaro so seriously must not be simple.

   Is this a certain important person who is coming to mourn Hiroyuki Taniguchi?

  …

   "Your Excellency, you are here." Heitaro Imamura saw a young and beautiful girl coming with Kawada Yuci, and hurriedly greeted him.

   "Imamura-kun, you are young and promising." Kawada Yuji smiled and shook hands with Imamura Heutaro, "How is General Imamura doing recently?"

   "Uncle is in good health, but now he has a lot of official duties. He wrote that he still likes to ride a horse and gallop across the land of Manchuria every morning." Imamura Heitaro said.

   "General Imamura's dedication to the empire is admirable." Kawada Yuji nodded.

  Jun Imamura left his position as the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Imperial Kwantung Army in January this year, and moved to be the Director of the Military Affairs Bureau. Two months later, at the beginning of March, Jun Imamura was officially awarded the rank of lieutenant general by His Majesty Emperor Tian.

  Director of the Military Affairs Bureau, this is a fat job, he can be called the head of the central department of the Imperial Army, in charge of the imperial armament, military administration, military supply industry, military supply transportation and communications.

  As Imamura's fortunes have risen, Kawada Yuji's attitude towards Imamura Heutaro has naturally become more cordial.

   "This is the little girl Ayako, Ayako, this is the talented diplomat of the empire, Counselor Imamura, whom I often mention to you." Kawata Yuji pointed to his daughter beside him, and said to Imamura Heutaro.

   "Hello, Uncle Imamura." Kawata Ayako stepped forward with small steps on wooden clogs and saluted deeply.

   "Miss Ayako is beautiful, and she is indeed a lady." Imamura Heutaro said in admiration, "It's a pity that I don't have a boy of the right age. I don't know who will get such an outstanding woman in the future."

   "Uncle Imamura praised you." Kawada Ayako blushed and said crisply.

  Yuyu Kawada just smiled and said nothing, although he showed a gentle and close attitude towards Imamura Heutaro, but he snorted coldly in his heart when he said Imamura Heutaro just now.

  Not to mention that there are no men of the right age in the Imamura family, even if there were, he would not look down on him at all.

   It is wishful thinking for a son from an ordinary family in Miyagi, Sendai to marry a noble daughter from the Kawada family.

  Hintaro Imamura immediately realized that what he said just now was a little rude, his face remained unchanged, he smiled slightly, and extended his hand, "Your Excellency, Miss Ayako, please."

  …

Cheng Qianfan saw Imamura Heutaro leading a man over. The man's body was covered and his face could not be seen. A young and charming woman beside the two of them respectfully presented the incense ceremony, and then stepped on clogs to follow .

  Cheng Qianfan remembered an article he had read written by Liu Mingfei. This traitorous literati regarded Japanese women as the most beautiful women. The article described it as follows:

The length of the Japanese kimono can cover the calf, and overall it is slightly well-proportioned. Ms. Junko is wearing a white and decent kimono, walking slowly on small steps with wooden clogs. She looks gentle and beautiful, and she has an intoxicating style. It looks like a dream lover curling into my heart.

   A few minutes later, Imamura Heitaro accompanied the two who seemed to be father and daughter. He led the man to the guest lounge. The man seemed to give a few words to the young woman, and the woman left.

  Is this man the one who wants to meet Mei Shenping?

  Cheng Qianfan secretly speculated in his heart, but his body 'subconsciously' bowed in return. He had to do enough acting, and he didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.

  He was guessing the identity of the man in his mind.

   Judging from Imamura Heutaro's respectful attitude, this person should be of extraordinary status or noble status.

  Besides, if it was as he expected, Mei Shenping did not leave this place, but was just waiting to see this person, which shows that this person's status among the Japanese is not low.

  At the same time, Cheng Qianfan inevitably thought of Gao Qingwu again. Why did this person not appear in the mourning hall?

   Physical discomfort?

   Still have something to delay?

  If there is a delay, what is more important than coming to the mourning hall to win the favor of the Japanese, or even meeting privately with an important Japanese figure?

  Even though he knew that his task was only to find the traces of Mei Shenping and Gao Qingwu, and there was no need to take the next step, Cheng Qianfan would inevitably think more deeply.

   This is not what he wants to do, it is entirely a habit of thinking.

  …

   "This is the third day that I accompanied my father to Shanghai. My father came to this ancient country with best wishes for friendship between Japan and China."

"This is an intoxicating ancient country. If Qin Guan's love lasts for a long time, when will Su Dongpo's bright moon come back, and Li Qinglian's daughter will come back...I often think, what kind of soil is it that can have such a rich A handsome man."

  "My father said that this is a corrupt country, so the empire is needed to help the Chinese people get a new life."

   "Before we had time to take a walk around the most prosperous metropolis in the Far East, we came to the mourning hall to pay homage to a respected scholar."

   "Professor Taniguchi is a well-known writer, scholar and archaeological expert in the empire. His father said that Professor Taniguchi is devoted to the study of Chinese archaeological culture and is a scholar loved by the people of Japan and China."

  Ayako Kawada sat cross-legged, a diary with a black cover was placed on her knees, she stopped writing, and looked up at the sky.

  Blue sky with white clouds floating.
