Chapter 850 Consulate General

Bai Xiaoxia got under the table to clean up the cigarette butts that Liu Yuchu had thrown away carelessly.

 Liu Yuchu showed an embarrassed expression, "Thank you for your hard work, brother Xiaomi."

Team leader ‘Xiao Mian’ is a very cautious officer with almost demanding requirements for details.

 After being assigned to the Shanghai Special Situation Team at the beginning, Liu Yuchu did not adapt to Team Leader Xiao's requirements for these details of behavioral habits. He could not help but murmur in his heart, "If the seedlings are not big, the rules are not small."

However, as time goes by, you will gradually get used to it.

 Sometimes I think about it carefully and realize that Team Leader Xiao’s strict requirements on everyone are also for everyone’s safety.

 Bai Xiaoxia’s code name in the special situation group is ‘Xiaomi’.

"This operation was very sudden. As the team leader said, it was an assassination operation that was not fully prepared." The little Taoist said to Liu Yuchu, "In the rush, there will inevitably be omissions."

As he said that, he couldn't help but smile, "Of course, an assassination attempt can hardly be called a complete matter."

 He patted Liu Yuchu on the shoulder and said, "Anyway, we have to be extra careful this time."

“The team leader’s arrangements have been very detailed and complete.” Liu Yuchu said from the bottom of his heart.

Before being assigned to the Shanghai Special Intelligence Group, he had worked in other stations of the Secret Service. Some officers only looked at the results and did not care about the process. There were often "at all costs" requirements in their actions.

It can be said that there are very few officers who pay attention to details and care about the lives of their subordinates like Team Leader Xiao.

 This is also one of the reasons why Liu Yuchu and others were willing to die for Xiao Mian.

"Either I have to retire or die to serve my country. I have been waiting for a long time." Liu Yuchu smiled calmly, and then he showed his thoughts, "Cheng Qianfan met Li Cuiqun in private, which is enough to show that 'Little President Cheng' "You are no different from a traitor. How about we deal with Cheng Qianfan as well?"

 Bang!

 Then there was an ouch.

 But it was Bai Xiaoxia who got up from under the table and accidentally bumped his head.

"No!" The little Taoist priest was startled and looked at Liu Yuchu with a stern expression, "Our task is to get rid of Li Cuiqun, and we must not create unnecessary problems."

Seeing what Liu Yuchu wanted to say, the little Taoist said seriously, "Li Cuiqun is a traitor who has confirmed that he has defected to the Japanese. Cheng Qianfan is different. This person has not completely defected to the Japanese, and Cheng Qianfan's status in the French Concession is extraordinary. , he is also highly used by the French, and attacking him will anger the French, which will have a very negative impact on our activities in the French Concession."

 He said with a serious expression, "Without the team leader's order, you must not attack Cheng Qianfan!"

Lest Liu Yuchu would not take it to heart, the little Taoist priest looked solemn and said, "This is an order!"

"Yes!" Liu Yuchu saluted, "Without the order of Team Leader Xiao, you must not attack Cheng Qianfan."

The little Taoist priest felt a little relieved and nodded.

He was really startled just now. This matter must be strictly ordered and restrained. Otherwise, it would be really ridiculous if Liu Yuchu suddenly shot the team leader on his own initiative.

 …

 The next day.

 Hongkou District, No. 106 Huangpu Road.

 Consulate General of Japan in Shanghai.

 In the 10th year of Tongzhi's reign in the former Qing Dynasty, Japan established a consulate on Yangzijiang Road.

 Moved to No. 106 Huangpu Road in the year of 1911.

 Kentaro Miyazaki, accompanied by his friend Yoshino Sakamoto, ‘visited’ this most famous building in Shanghai.

“Four-story brick-concrete structure, facing south, classical style.”

 “The facade is segmented and symmetrical.”

“The ground floor of the south facade is made of arc-arched doors and windows, and the second and third floors are continuous column-type arcades.”

“The central roof is made of rectangular double-pointed arches.”

“The lintel of the main entrance has exquisite stone carvings on the pediment. The cornices, capitals, legs, railings and other details are all decorated with exquisite stone carvings. The walls are made of pure red bricks.”

“Sakamoto-kun is so proficient in architecture?” Cheng Qianfan was surprised.

“I learned that Mr. Miyazaki was coming to visit, so I asked a colleague for help.” Sakamoto Yoshino said with a smile.

“This place has witnessed the empire’s difficult journey to conquer China.” Cheng Qianfan reached out and touched a stone sculpture and said with emotion.

 Sakamoto Yoshino closed the door and personally made a cup of tea for Kentaro Miyazaki.

“Miyazaki-kun is not coming to visit today, so I am going to look for you in the next two days.” Sakamoto Yoshino said.

“Sakamoto-kun, are you looking for me?” Cheng Qianfan took a sip of tea and said.

"It's Atsuto." Sakamoto Yoshino said, "Yesterday, Atsuto came to the Consulate General to find me and told something about you. It was not convenient for him to go to the patrol room to see you, so he asked me to convey it to you."

"What's going on?" Cheng Qianfan looked curious, but he had already guessed everything.

“Some time ago, the Military Police Headquarters secretly investigated you.” Sakamoto Yoshino said in a low voice, his eyes shining with excitement.

Cheng Qianfan had an expression of surprise, confusion, anger, and fear on his face. Then he saw Sakamoto Yoshino's excited expression, and the doubt in his eyes became even stronger:

 Sakamoto-kun, what do you mean?

Sakamoto Yoshino also realized that his emotions were not quite right. He smiled and said, "I just feel that Miyazaki-kun's experience is so magical. I have an increasing urge to write a novel based on you after the war."

In fact, his inner emotions were far more "excited" than words could express. When he learned from Kawada Atsuto that Miyazaki Kentaro passed the investigation and trial of the Military Police Headquarters, Sakamoto Yoshino was not only happy for his friend, but Besides, there is actually a trace of regret.

  Yes, it is a pity.

 Sakamoto Yoshino even had a first draft of a story based on this incident:

Miyazaki, a loyal agent of the empire, was misunderstood by the Imperial Military Police. The brave Miyazaki chose to take advantage of the situation and endure the humiliation. He secretly infiltrated the Japanese Red Party under the pretext of being persecuted by the empire. After several years, he finally climbed to an important position in the Japanese Red Party.

Tokyo, one late night in the pouring rain, Mr. Miyazaki called for a rape. The situation changed, the Guards were dispatched, and blood flowed like a river. His Majesty the Emperor personally summoned the loyal Mr. Miyazaki...

Cheng Qianfan never expected that Sakamoto Yoshino would have so many messy thoughts in his mind. With an expression on his face, he asked the military police agency about investigating him.

Through Sakamoto Yoshino’s narration, Cheng Qianfan finally had a clearer and more precise context for the matter under investigation.

Just as he had speculated before, the Military Police Headquarters suddenly had some suspicion about him for some reason, and then arranged the test drama.

And his response, whether it was immediately ordering the arrest of the 'first officer' after obtaining the confession of 'Qiao Zui', or later reporting the situation of the two to the Special High School, or even later agreeing to hand over the two to the commander of the military police. department.

It is possible that he will deal with the arrest of Wang Kangnian and the Red Party's "Chenzhou" by the Special High School Section.

 These matters, whether involving Chongqing or the Red Party, he did not do anything unreasonable, all of which show that he has no problems.

From Sakamoto Yoshino’s words, Cheng Qianfan’s biggest gain was that Kawada Atsuto accidentally learned from Sanami Umesumi’s words that the Military Police Headquarters’ suspicion and investigation of him stemmed from Naito Kotsubo’s behind-the-scenes tricks:

Naito Kotsubo insists that the death of Nagatomo Akio is a conspiracy and Miyazaki Kentaro is problematic.

According to Sagami Umezu's residence, Naito Tsubasa expressed his suspicions about Miyazaki Kentaro to Imamura Hyōtaro, but "Counselor Imamura blindly trusted his student and was prohibited from continuing to investigate the matter." In desperation, Naito Tsubasa Only then did he have to find his friend Umezu Sagami and ask him to help with the secret investigation.

 Naito Tsubasa!

 Cheng Qianfan’s expression was gloomy. He did not expect that he would be targeted by the Japanese military police. The reason behind it turned out to be Naito Tsubasa’s mischief.

This matter is actually the lingering sequelae of the incident of getting rid of Changyou Cunnan?

After figuring out the cause of this matter, Cheng Qianfan felt a little relieved. He handled the death of Nagatomo Inao very cleanly. Let alone the Japanese who were investigating now, even if Nagatomo Inao was alive now , this old devil probably doesn’t even understand how he died.

only-

Why did Umezu Sagami tell Kawada Atsushi "accidentally" about such a confidential matter?

 And was it told in such detail?

Is it because of Kawada Atsuhito's status as a noble son that Umezu Sagami chose to show his favor to Kawada Atsuhito on the premise that he had already "cleared the suspicion of Kentaro Miyazaki"?

"Next time I see Atsushi, I must treat him to a drink." Cheng Qianfan glanced at Sakamoto Yoshino and sighed, "Although Atsushi said he learned about it accidentally, this is a secret of the Military Police Headquarters, even if I’m afraid it’s not that easy for Master Duren to know.”

“Atsushi said that he suspected that Major Umezu Sagami had deliberately revealed it to him,” Sakamoto Yoshino said.

 “That’s also for the sake of young master Duren.” Cheng Qianfan said.

"Perhaps." Sakamoto Yoshino nodded noncommittally, "However, Atsushi also said that Umezu Sagami is your senior, Miyazaki-kun, and that may be the reason."

Is Umezu Sagami a senior student of Kentaro Miyazaki? !

Cheng Qianfan was shocked, but there was no change in his expression. He just remained silent, as if he was caught in some kind of memory.

Then, he raised his wrist and looked at the time on his watch. "It's almost time. Someone made an appointment with me at ten o'clock. I went to see the teacher and then I went to keep the appointment."

“Uncle Imamura should have just finished a meeting at this time.” Sakamoto Yoshino picked up the schedule record book on his desk, turned to the latest page, took a look at it, and said, “I will take you there.”

 Speaking, Sakamoto Yoshino stood up and turned around to get the coat hanging on the hook on the wall.

Cheng Qianfan also stood up and glanced at the schedule record book on Sakamoto Yoshino's desk quickly and without trace. He glanced at a line of words:

  The reception and preparations for Mr. X’s arrival in Shanghai.

Mr. X?

Who is this person?

 Vice President Wang?

 A doubtful thought flashed in Cheng Qianfan's mind.

 …

 Sakamoto Yoshino accompanied Miyazaki Kentaro to the counselor's office, and he left without staying long.

"Teacher." Cheng Qianfan looked at Imamura Hyōtaro, and looked at Counselor Imamura's slightly tired look. He asked with concern, "Teacher, you are a little tired, so you should pay more attention to rest."

“I have so many affairs, big and small, that I can’t wait to sleep.” Hyoutaro Imamura is still relatively relaxed in front of his favorite student. He shakes his head and sighs, “Why does Kentaro have time to come to the Consulate General today?”

“Li Cuiqun made an appointment with the students to meet at the Licha Hotel.” Cheng Qianfan explained, “The students thought they wouldn’t see the teacher for a while, so they left early to come to the Consulate General.”

"Li Cuiqun..." Hyōtaro Imamura frowned, "What does he want from you?"

"I don't know." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "I just wanted to meet and discuss it in detail."

"People like Li Cuiqun..." Imamura Hyōtaro frowned, "Stay away from them." (PS1)

“Students understand.” Cheng Qianfan nodded, “I don’t want to get too close to them.”

Hyoutaro Imamura looked over.

Cheng Qianfan showed an embarrassed expression, "Chongqing hates people like Li Cuiqun even more than it hates the empire. It is too dangerous to get too close to them."

Imamura Hyoutarou knew that he was a student who cherished his life. After hearing this, he just frowned and glanced at Miyazaki Kentaro. He didn't say much. Instead, he was satisfied with Miyazaki Kentaro's candid attitude in front of his teacher. and gratified.

 …

 Xiao Ou jumped off the rickshaw, paid and prepared to enter the apartment. This was a safe house that he had rented in advance.

 A man happened to come out of the stairs, and the two of them passed each other.

 Xiao Ou's eyes fell on the briefcase this man carried.

He calmly continued to go up the stairs, but instead of going up to the east side of the third floor where he rented Room 309, he went up to the west side of the second floor. Then he suddenly accelerated and went downstairs from this side of the stairs. Arriving at the back door of the apartment, he opened the door and left.

As soon as Xiao Ou ran out of the alley, he saw a rickshaw parked on the side of the road. A woman with permed hair was sitting in the car and shouted to him, "Little brother."

　　 is Li Zhu.

Xiao Ou breathed a long sigh of relief.

 Half an hour later, Xiao Ou followed Li Zhu to a theater, and the two of them booked a private room.

“What were you running for just now?” Li Zhu asked with a frown.

 “I thought I was being targeted.” He simply explained.

The briefcase used by the man who passed by him was distributed to some civil servants by the pseudo-Shanghai municipal government. The man was a new face in the apartment, and he used items belonging to the pseudo-regime. Xiao Ou was now frightened, and he could not help but feel wary.

 “A new face?” Li Zhu’s expression changed.

 “Not the one you arranged?” Xiao Ou was also surprised and asked.

 “No.” Li Zhu shook his head.

The two of them looked at each other, both feeling frightened. Apparently Xiao Ou's caution allowed them to escape.

 “Let’s go!” Li Zhu directly picked up the Kun bag and decided to leave decisively.

Xiao Ou also followed Li Zhu and left without saying a word.

About five minutes after the two left, two men hurried to the private room and cursed angrily when they saw that it was empty.

“Brother Tong, what should we do now?” one of them asked his companions.

 …

 There are people coming and going on Huangpu Road.

A small car parked on the roadside about a hundred steps away from the main entrance of Licha Hotel. The hood of the car was opened, and a man sweating profusely was busy checking the car. It seemed that the car was broken down.

Liu Yuchu stood aside and gave instructions on how to repair the car. He had a cigarette in his mouth, but he was secretly observing the surrounding situation.

 It is still a quarter of an hour before ten o'clock.

Li Cuiqun’s car hasn’t arrived yet.

Liu Yuchu, however, shrank his eyes. He saw the 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' from the French Concession walking down the front steps of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, accompanied by a man.

  PS1: In history, Li Cuiqun intended to invite Yuan Shu to join No. 76. This is how Iwai Eiichi persuaded Yuan Shu to refuse. The people in Iwai Mansion looked down upon Ding Li's secret service headquarters.
