Chapter 1370: Reluctant
"Teacher, I really have no way to defend myself." Cheng Qianfan smiled bitterly and defended himself.
Heitaro Imamura called him over and asked about the progress of the secret contact with Chongqing and the attempt to seek joint efforts to deal with the Red Party.
However, I learned from Kentaro Miyazaki that he had not yet contacted Chongqing.
Heitaro Imamura was very angry and scolded Kentaro Miyazaki directly.
"Speak." Imamura Heitaro said coldly.
"The students have sent a secret signal to Zheng Weilong's people according to the contact information Zheng Weilong left behind." Cheng Qianfan explained, "However, several days have passed, and we have not received a response from the relevant personnel."
"No response?" Imamura Heitaro frowned and said.
"There is indeed no response." Cheng Qianfan nodded and said, "I even began to doubt whether this person is still in Shanghai."
He frowned and expressed his speculation, "Or, could this person have been captured or even died a long time ago?"
When Imamura Heitaro saw his beloved disciple looking distressed, he also felt something in his heart.
He knew Kentaro well. Perhaps Kentaro attached too much importance to money and it was impossible for him to do things without selfish motives. However, Miyazaki Kentaro had always been respectful to him and obeyed his orders. He was truly sincere.
Therefore, when Kentaro Miyazaki said that he did not receive any response from Zheng Weilong's men, this must be the truth, and Kentaro would not lie to him.
Moreover, the situations mentioned by Kentaro Miyazaki are not impossible, and are even very likely.
Whether it was Iwai Residence, No. 76, the Military Police, the Special High Section, or even secret agencies such as "Mitsui Residence", they had always maintained a high-pressure stance against anti-Japanese elements, arresting, interrogating, and executing people at will.
Therefore, it is possible that this person was arrested for some reason or even killed.
Moreover, it is very likely that even if this person is captured and executed, the Empire will not know his real name and identity.
As for not being in Shanghai?
That means this person may have fled.
"Is this the only contact information Zheng Weilong left for you?" Imamura Heitaro frowned and asked.
"Because of the Special High Section's 'Sturgeon Plan', Shu Daming has returned to Chongqing with Suzuki Keita." Cheng Qianfan said.
He shook his head. "The only person I can contact at any time is Shu Daming. Shu Daming is not in Shanghai now, so I can only use this passive way of contacting him."
After hearing what Kentaro Miyazaki said, Heitaro Imamura could only shake his head helplessly.
"Wait a little longer." Imamura Heitaro said, "I will also make arrangements to see if there is a person who meets the requirements among the prisoners in custody or executed."
"I'm afraid it will be difficult to investigate." Cheng Qianfan was not very optimistic about Imamura Heitaro's method of investigation.
"Let's check it out first." Imamura Heitaro was also a little troubled. He glanced at Miyazaki Kentaro and asked, "Were you with Ryouno and the young master of the Kawada family yesterday?"
"Yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded. "Chu Mingyu wanted to bribe Li Mingzan, the commander of the First Division of the Pacification Army under Liang Hongzhi, and wanted to get some weapons and ammunition. Chu Mingyu gave this task to me, and the student asked Major Kawada for help."
"Is this what Wang Tianhai meant?" Imamura Heitaro asked immediately.
Although the military generally looked down on Wang Tianhai, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs still attached great importance to him. Take Imamura Heitaro for example. As a well-known Japanese diplomat who studied Wang Tianhai, he was very clear about the positive and long-term impact of this man's defection to Japan on the entire war.
Therefore, Heitaro Imamura was quite concerned about Wang Tianhai's movements.
"Chen Chunpu signed his agreement." Cheng Qianfan replied.
"Chen Chunpu." Imamura Heitaro nodded thoughtfully.
This person is the nephew of Wang Tianhai's rather powerful wife. To a certain extent, he represents Chen's will, and Mrs. Wang can often determine Wang Tianhai's will...
"Zhou Liang had always considered the position of Vice Premier of the Executive Yuan of Wang Tianhai's regime to be in his pocket." Imamura Heitaro said, "Now that Zhou Liang has lost to Chu Mingyu, the relationship between the two must be very bad now."
"Chu Mingyu said that Zhou Liang mocked Chen for interfering in government affairs and used the term 'harm from the imperial harem' to describe it." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "Mrs. Wang was very angry and seemed to be expecting Chu Mingyu to embarrass Zhou Liang."
"It's a mess of intrigue and conspiracy," said Heitaro Imamura, with a smile on his face.
For Japan, the Wang regime is a puppet regime, and even a puppet regime must be guarded against. An internally united puppet regime is not in the interests of the Empire of Japan. Japan is happy to see internal discord among Wang Tianhai's subordinates.
"Wang's reclamation regime is actively implementing its so-called plan to return the capital to Nanjing." Imamura Heitaro looked at Miyazaki Kentaro, "If you have time recently, visit Chu Mingyu more often."
"Teacher, do you mean that you hope I will go to Nanjing to work in the future?" Cheng Qianfan asked in surprise.
"Maybe we can go to Nanjing, or maybe we can stay in Shanghai." Imamura Heitaro said, "It's all possible, but——"
He looked at Kentaro Miyazaki and said, "There is one thing we must strive to achieve."
Cheng Qianfan immediately listened attentively.
"You need to further enhance your power and status within the Wang regime." Imamura Heitaro said earnestly, "Chu Mingyu is not capable of being the vice premier of the Executive Yuan. This means he must put more effort and even be more unscrupulous in promoting his cronies. This is your chance."
"Students understand." Cheng Qianfan nodded seriously.
Heitaro Imamura looked at Kentaro Miyazaki, seeming to be hesitating about something.
"Teacher?" Cheng Qianfan looked at Imamura Heitaro in confusion.
"Kentaro, can I trust you?" Imamura Heitaro suddenly asked, his eyes fixed on Miyazaki Kentaro.
"Teacher, you actually said such a thing." Cheng Qianfan's face was first stunned, then shocked, and finally flushed. This was anger, then a flush of shame, and finally a bit of confusion, "Teacher, you are forcing students to die by saying this."
As he said this, he knelt down, tears streaming down his cheeks uncontrollably, falling on the hand-woven Turkish carpet and breaking it into pieces.
"Okay, I just said that casually." Imamura Heitaro sighed, "If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't tell you these things."
Cheng Qianfan then turned his tears into laughter, "Teacher, please don't say such things again in the future."
He wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "The students will be scared."
"Aren't you always very courageous?" Imamura Heitaro glared at Miyazaki Kentaro unhappily, "Wang Tianhai's side will choose a place to hold talks with Liang Hongzhi and Wang Kemin in the near future--"
Cheng Qianfan remained calm and listened. When he saw Imamura Heitaro pause and look over, he asked in confusion, "Didn't we just hold a trilateral meeting in Nanjing four months ago?"
"Some things Liang Hongzhi and Wang Kemin have repeatedly postponed, and it's time to resolve them," said Imamura Heitaro. "Wang Tianhai can't wait any longer."
"Teacher, what you mean is that I should follow Chu Mingyu and attend this tripartite meeting?" Cheng Qianfan immediately understood what Imamura Heitaro meant.
As he spoke, his face more or less revealed an expression of reluctance that he could not successfully conceal.
