Chapter 826 Chief Officer

　　Hearing Sanami Umezuzumi's slightly teasing inquiry, Naito Kotsubo shook his head.

“It’s not a disappointment.” He stared at the door of Xinxin Hotel and whispered, “The so-called investigation is a process of gradually eliminating impossible options, and the final remaining ones are the correct options.”

“Naito-kun, do you still insist that there is something wrong with Kentaro Miyazaki?” Umezu Sagami frowned and asked.

"Sasami-kun, let me reiterate, I have never judged that Miyazaki Kentaro is problematic." Naito Kotsubo said sternly, "I just think there are some things about him that cannot be explained and require in-depth investigation."

Sagami Umezuzumi shook his head, Naito Tsubasa's explanation was sophistry.

 For the secret service, if you think that someone cannot explain something clearly, this in itself is the beginning of suspicion about someone.

Naito Kotsubo found him and asked him to help investigate Kentaro Miyazaki.

Sagami Umesumi obtained a lot of archival information about Miyazaki Kentaro from Naito Kotsubasa. Of course, this Imperial Special High School Agent's current identity is Cheng Qianfan, deputy chief inspector of the French Concession Central District Patrol Room.

The fact that an Imperial agent transformed into a high-ranking police officer from the patrol house intrigued Umezu Sagami.

What’s more, Mr. Kentaro Miyazaki is still an ‘old acquaintance’.

However, strictly speaking, it seems that it cannot be said to be an ‘old acquaintance’.

When Umezu Sagami was living at Kobe University, he once met an alumnus who was running in a hurry with a book in his arms. The man accidentally bumped into him and apologized in a panic without even raising his head.

Sagami Umezuzumi signaled that he was fine, and the classmate left in a hurry.

Later, when Umezu Sagami lived on campus, he saw this junior student again. He casually asked his friends around him, and the friend said, "Oh," and said with a smile, "That's Kentaro Miyazaki, a first-year guy, a timid and silent guy." '.

Not long after that, Umezu Sagami left the campus to join the Locust Army.

He also didn’t expect that the student he met twice on campus would now come to Shanghai and become an agent of the Imperial Special High School Course pretending to be a senior police officer in the patrol room.

What he didn’t expect even more was that his friend Naito Kotsubo actually found him and asked him to help investigate Kentaro Miyazaki.

 Judging from the files and information about Kentaro Miyazaki provided by Xiao Tsubasa Naito, it can be said that the character of his junior student has changed a lot from what he was on campus:

Although he didn’t know what kind of person Kentaro Miyazaki was back then, his friend’s words at that time as ‘a timid and silent guy’ showed that Kentaro Miyazaki at that time had a somewhat withdrawn and silent character.

 Judging from the way Kentaro Miyazaki accidentally bumped into him and was so frightened that he didn't even dare to raise his head and kept apologizing, Sanami Umezuzumi felt that Kentaro Miyazaki might still have some inferiority complex.

Of course, many years have passed. Miyazaki Kentaro left campus, traveled around China, suffered a lot for the great cause of the empire, and joined the special higher education course. With these years of training and experience, the lonely boy back then grew into a An eloquent and clever guy, he has made great progress.

However, according to Naito Tsubasa's evaluation of Miyazaki Kentaro, this guy is greedy for life and afraid of death at heart, and he is still as timid as before.

 In addition, at the scene of the last murder in Xiajiawa, Umezu Sagami met Kentaro Miyazaki.

After so many years, he did not recognize Kentaro Miyazaki at first sight. However, he heard Naito Kotsubo tell about Miyazaki Kentaro in detail, and knew that Miyazaki Kentaro and Araki Harima were closely related, and from Naito Kotsubo, He had seen a photo of Kentaro Miyazaki secretly taken by someone sent by Naito, and he naturally 'recognized' the guy wearing a mask and dressed as an imperial military doctor as Kentaro Miyazaki.

It’s just that this junior student obviously didn’t recognize him.

This is not surprising, not to mention it has been so many years.

That time when Kentaro Miyazaki bumped into him, this timid junior was so frightened that he didn't even dare to raise his head. As for the subsequent time, he saw Kentaro Miyazaki, but Miyazaki did not see him.

 …

Seeing Sanami Umezuzumi shaking his head, Naito Tsubasa knew that his friend did not believe what he said. He frowned slightly, but did not explain anything.

As his investigation into Kentaro Miyazaki deepened, judging from the information he had, there was indeed no clear problem with Kentaro Miyazaki.

However, Tsubasa Naito had a feeling that there seemed to be an inexplicable feeling about this guy who was an agent of the Special High School Class, an agent of the Iwai Mansion, and the proud disciple of Counselor Hyōtaro Imamura.

This feeling does not mean that there is something wrong with Kentaro Miyazaki. It just feels that there are some things that seem to have nothing to do with Kentaro Miyazaki, but if they are forcibly involved, it seems that they can be involved in this guy.

This feeling made Naito Kotsubo both excited and uncomfortable.

 What’s exciting about:

He had previously suspected that the death of his uncle Nagatomo Akio was related to Kentaro Miyazaki. This was without any evidence. To be more precise, it was a kind of psychological anger and anger.

Now, with my own investigation, it seems that my emotions are not entirely out of incompetence, and I have a certain basis for suspicion.

 It was uncomfortable because these were just his feelings and there was no actual evidence. As the investigation deepened, he felt more and more powerless——

If there is a problem with Kentaro Miyazaki, the biggest one is smuggling. However, according to Naito Tsubasa's investigation and speculation, it is not only this guy who is involved in Miyazaki's smuggling business, but also the super high school section chief Mimoto Jiro. , as well as Junji Ono of the Marine Corps, and even some middle- and lower-level officers and soldiers of the security forces participated.

In addition, the Green Gang, the French Concession patrol room, and the French Concession high-level officials all seemed to be involved in Kentaro Miyazaki's smuggling business. Of course, they were involved in Kentaro Miyazaki's other identity as "Mr. Xiao Cheng."

In addition, Su Wenxi, the secretary-general of the Shanghai Special Municipal Government, seems to have some secret connections with Cheng Qianfan.

 Even, Naito Tsubasa suspected that Counselor Imamura knew about this.

 The smuggling business is so involved that what should have been a huge problem is now the most untouchable thing for Miyazaki Kentaro.

 Apart from the smuggling business, Kentaro Miyazaki has no other problems that can be touched.

Naito Tsubasa was at a loss to do anything, until he repeatedly studied Kentaro Miyazaki’s files and finally discovered a detail.

 Cheng Qianfan has a good relationship with his colleague Liu Bo!

This Liu Bo is the disgrace and great humiliation of Shanghai Extra High School, who betrayed the empire and defected to the red Setouchi River!

Naito Tsubasa didn't know when Miyazaki Kentaro began to officially pretend to be Cheng Qianfan, but intelligence showed that Cheng Qianfan had become close to Liu Bo when he first entered the patrol room four years ago.

At that time, Kentaro Miyazaki was probably still traveling as a troubadour in other parts of China.

 This shows that the deceased Cheng Qianfan and Liu Bo were closely related at that time.

Later, the Shanghai Special Higher Education School killed Cheng Qianfan and arranged for Kentaro Miyazaki to pretend to be Cheng Qianfan.

According to Naito Tsubasa's investigation, although it is not certain when Kentaro Miyazaki started pretending to be Cheng Qianfan, before Liu Bo's red party identity was exposed, Miyazaki Kentaro and Liu Bo had a close relationship; after Liu Bo's red party identity was exposed, Miyazaki Kentaro Saki was estranged from Liu Bo on the surface, but in fact, he still took good care of Liu Bo in prison.



  Or is this entirely the personal behavior of Kentaro Miyazaki?

Miyazaki Kentaro was influenced by Liu Bo, a traitor to the empire?

 Naito Kotsubasa was also shocked by his guess!

He is well aware of Kentaro Miyazaki's hatred and contempt for the Chinese. Will Kentaro Miyazaki be seduced by the imperial traitor and red Liu Bo and become corrupted?

 Naito Kotsubo feels that the possibility is extremely slim.

 However, the possibility of being extremely small does not mean that it is impossible.

 …

At this time, Sagami Umetsuzumi told Naito Tsubasa about a situation. An interesting situation occurred with a Chongqing central commander controlled by the empire:

This person was ordered by Zhongtong to infiltrate Zhang Xiaolin's interior, received Zhang Xiaolin's reward, and prepared to assassinate Cheng Qianfan, and intended to blame Wang Kangnian.

Then the Zhongtong decided to use the trick and ordered the person to act according to Zhang Xiaolin's instructions first, but eventually identified Zhang Xiaolin, triggering a new round of conflict between Cheng Qianfan and Zhang Xiaolin.

Now, the Central Command officer nicknamed "Qiao Zui" reported the incident to Sanakami Umezu's residence.

Because Kentaro Miyazaki was involved, Umezu Sagami approached Tsubasa Naito for discussion.

 Naito Kotsubo took the opportunity to bring this matter up to test Kentaro Miyazaki.

Sagami Umezuzumi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Naito Tsubasa was overjoyed, but he did not inform Sagami Umezuzumi of his speculation that Miyazaki Kentaro might be influenced by Liu Bo—

At this stage, he must not say that he has a specific reason for suspicion to investigate and test Kentaro Miyazaki, because once a specific reason is found, once the reason is later proven to be non-existent, then this will be evidence of his secret investigation of his colleagues. When Hyoutaro Imamura learned about this, he was the first one who would not let him go.

This kind of private investigation should not indicate any reasons, let alone be directed. It is entirely because of other things, along with subtle investigations and temptations. This is the safest way.

If Kentaro Miyazaki had no problem and passed the trial and test, even if Miyazaki later knew that "Qiao Zui" was actually a central commander under the control of the Military Police Headquarters, Kentaro Miyazaki would have nothing to say, let alone doubt. What, because the Central Command personnel who instigated rebellion at the Gendarmerie Headquarters had absolutely no reason to report it to the Super High School.

 …

  Xinxin Hotel.

 Fifth floor.

I don’t know whether it was the footsteps in the corridor that woke up the ‘chief officer’, or whether this person had been alert and discovered the situation from somewhere.

 This man did not sit still and wait for death.

 The door of 503 suddenly opened and a man rushed out.

 The man raised his gun and shot.

Snapped!

 A patrolman who rushed ahead was shot in the abdomen.

 The sound of gunfire broke the rainy night!

The patrolmen immediately fired back.

 The ‘first mate’ was shot in the shoulder and calf.

 ‘Hao Zai’ was shocked. Seeing that the ‘first officer’ could not escape at all, he raised his gun and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to give this brother of Zhongtong a good blow.

However, before he could shoot, he saw the 'first officer' who had been shot twice suddenly threw his pistol in front of him, raised his hands, and shouted loudly, "I surrender! Don't shoot! I surrender!"

 Hand side mother!

 Hao Zai almost choked out a mouthful of blood.

He resisted the urge to shoot, put away the gun with a cold face, and waved his hand.

All the patrolmen swarmed up and arrested the 'chief officer'.

“It hurts so much, please be gentle.” the first mate shouted, “I’m injured, please help me stop the bleeding.”

 …

Su Zhe heard the sound of gunfire in the corridor on the fifth floor, and his heart tightened.

 He didn't know the identity of the person Brother Fan arranged for someone to arrest.

However, he understood Brother Fan’s intention to call Mr. Jin Kemujin specifically to ask for instructions and report the arrest operation.

Jin Kemu is patriotic, so he will definitely arrange for people to participate in the operation. The euphemistic name is to help, but in reality it is fishing in troubled waters.

When setting out, Mr. Jin secretly told Su Zhe: If you are an anti-Japanese corpsman, find a way to temporarily save your life.

Helplessly, the third patrol led by Hao Zai acted very quickly. The guys from the General Affairs Office led by Su Zhe were all more cowardly than those patrolmen. After hearing the sound of gunshots, they stopped directly on the third floor. The stairwell is euphemistically called to prevent gangsters from escaping down.

When the gunfire on the fifth floor stopped, a burst of cheers was heard from the corridor on the fifth floor, and there was a faint sound of "caught".

 The guys from the General Affairs Office immediately waved their short guns and launched a brave charge with howls.

Then, after rushing to the fifth floor, Su Zhe saw the wailing of the arrested person:

 Help me stop the bleeding, I don’t want to die, I’ll say anything.

 Mom sells batches!

Su Zhe's lungs were about to burst with anger. He suppressed his anger, stepped forward, picked up the camera in his hand, and shouted, "Everyone, let me take a picture."

Hearing Assistant Su’s words, a patrolman immediately grabbed the ‘first mate’’s hair.

"very good!"

"One more piece!"

A flash of spotlight flashed.

 “Very good, here’s another one.” Su Zhe nodded with satisfaction.

 Subsequently, Su Zhe quickly took photos of the patrolman who was shot in the abdomen and in serious condition. These are all materials for meritorious service and awards.

 …

 Although some police officers were seriously injured, the arrest operation was overall relatively successful.

Just when everyone was looking relaxed, an accident almost happened.

The 'first mate', who was being carried on a stretcher by two police officers, suddenly rolled off the bed and was about to rush to the edge of the corridor and jump down, but he was already straddling the railing. , there was a moment of hesitation.

With this moment of hesitation, the 'chief officer' had no chance of committing suicide anymore. He was directly dragged down by all the patrolmen, and then he was held down tightly.
