Chapter 1590 Father and Son
"Miyazaki-kun, do you doubt me?" Araki Harima stared at Miyazaki Kentaro with a scrutinizing look.
"What do I suspect you of?" Cheng Qianfan was stunned at first, then he understood. He showed an angry expression, "Araki-kun! If I suspected you, I wouldn't ask these questions in front of you."
He was huffing and looking very angry.
After hearing what Miyazaki Kentaro said, Araki Harima calmed down. Just as Miyazaki Kentaro said, if Miyazaki Kentaro suspected him, he would not have asked him so frankly and directly, but should have turned around and reported him.
He showed a guilty expression, "Miyazaki-kun, it's my fault. I said the wrong thing."
……
"Araki-kun, we are good friends who can talk about anything. I know you. Although you are dissatisfied with the Section Chief, just as I am dissatisfied with him, there is one thing I believe in. We are both loyal to the Empire." Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression, "I asked those questions just to solve some doubts. This is very important for us to analyze the enemy's ambush on the Section Chief."
He handed a cigarette to Araki Harima, "Araki-kun, the confidential information you have is probably no longer a secret. At least I suspect our enemies know about it."
"I understand what you mean." Araki Harima nodded solemnly. "This matter concerns the Section Chief's private affairs. It is very secretive. Before this, I did not think that our enemies might know this. But, what you said does make sense."
He took the cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath. "It seems that our enemy is more cunning and hidden deeper than we thought."
……
"Miyazaki-kun, are you also confused as to why the section chief is so fond of Chikitahara Tsukasa? This kind of favor can even be described as doting?" Araki Harima said faintly.
"Yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "This is exactly what I can't figure out."
He smiled bitterly and said, "You know my loyalty and sincerity to the section chief, Araki-kun. The section chief also knows my loyalty to him and the empire, but he allows Chihohara Tsukasa to be suspicious of me and suppress me."
"And Araki-kun, when you were in Hangzhou, you were the section chief's most trusted person, but now..." As he said this, he sighed.
"We are just the section chief's subordinates. He has many subordinates." Araki Harima sneered, "But, there is only one son."
"What?" Cheng Qianfan was so shocked that he stood up almost instantly. He stared at Araki Harima in a daze, "Araki-kun, what did you say?"
"Yes, you heard it right!" Araki Harima nodded, "Chihohara Tsukasa is actually the son of the section chief. To be exact, he is the section chief's illegitimate son."
……
"How is this possible, Section Chief, Section Chief..." Cheng Qianfan's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. He then sat down on the edge of the bed and murmured, "Yes, yes, that's right, this can explain it, yes."
"I understand." Cheng Qianfan took a deep puff of his cigarette and said, "Why would the enemy conclude that after the section chief learned of Qian Beiyuan Si's death, he would put down all his work and come to Qimin Hospital regardless of everything."
He flicked the ash off his cigarette and said, "Even the section chief chose to take the shortest route through Humuqiao. This was also within the enemy's calculations. I see."
Araki Harima nodded, smiled bitterly and said, "That's the truth. Based on the information we have learned so far, it should be like this."
"The relationship between Chibehara Tsukasa and the section chief is a very secret matter. I only learned about it by chance." He took two puffs of his cigarette. "If the enemy is really as we suspected, using this secret relationship to ambush the section chief, this is very scary. I can't imagine how they knew this secret."
"If it wasn't for Araki-kun telling me, I would never have thought there was such a secret." Cheng Qianfan said, "I don't even know, how could the enemy know? And..."
He looked at Araki Harima with a serious expression, "Araki-kun, it seems that Chikitahara Tsukasa's death was not an accident. The enemy wanted to kill him, and then used the news of Chikitahara Tsukasa's death as bait to lure the section chief into their ambush?"
The more he spoke, the more shocked and solemn his expression became.
……
"That should be the case." Araki Harima said solemnly, "I just thought of this."
"Araki-kun," Cheng Qianfan said, and then he stared into Araki Harima's eyes, his expression serious but inquiring, "So, Araki-kun, what you said to that guy Chibehara Tsukasa was related to his secret relationship with the section chief?"
Araki Harima glanced at Miyazaki Kentaro, and after a long wait, Miyazaki asked the same question again.
However, since he had even revealed the secret that Sen Kitahara Tsukasa was the illegitimate son of Mitsumoto Jiro, there was nothing left to hide.
"I was just making a few sarcastic remarks about Chihohara," said Araki Harima. "I said he was like a cowardly child who would just hide in his father's arms and wait for the credit to come to him."
Cheng Qianfan's eyes widened in surprise. "Araki-kun, aren't you afraid that Qianbei will complain to the section chief in anger?"
"I didn't say anything else, it was just a metaphor." Araki Harima said, and then under the gaze of Miyazaki Kentaro, he had to say, "I know Chihohara Tsukasa. He is a guy who looks proud but actually has some inferiority complex. He will not complain to the section chief about this kind of thing."
Araki Harima said, "Chihoku will just keep this matter in mind and plan when to take revenge instead of complaining to the section chief."
He said to Miyazaki Kentaro, "Based on my observation, Chihohara Tsukasa should know that he is the section chief's illegitimate son, but they probably haven't recognized each other, and this is exactly what Chihohara Tsukasa cannot accept and hates the most."
……
"I understand." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "ridiculous pride and pitiful inferiority."
He frowned and just looked at Araki Harima, "But the fact is that Chibei got on the convoy car because of your words, Araki-kun, which eventually led to him being shot and killed by the enemy."
"No." Araki Harima shook his head. "Since the enemy has formulated such an ingenious plan, this plan can be said to be linked one by one, and the death of Chibehara Tsukasa is the first step. This is enough to show that they are confident that they can kill Chibehara first."
"Mr. Araki, what you mean is that even without what you said, Qianbei might still get in the car?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"No, without the stimulation of my words, it is unlikely that Chihohara Tsukasa would risk getting on the car. On that day, we cannot rule out the possibility that this guy had a problem with his brain and would take the initiative to get on the car." Araki Harima said.
This explanation was untenable. Cheng Qianfan gave Araki Harima a look and told him to figure it out for himself.
"Of course, the biggest possibility is that even if Chihohara Tsukasa didn't risk getting on the car, as long as he showed up at the scene of the operation, the enemy would be sure to find an opportunity to attack him." Araki Harima said, "And they should be very confident."
"Are we very confident?" Cheng Qianfan pondered, and his eyes suddenly lit up. "That is to say, the enemy was well prepared. Although Qian Beiyuan Si was shot and killed by the enemy with a Thompson submachine gun, even without this unexpected situation, the enemy also had the means to kill Qian Bei..."
As he spoke, Cheng Qianfan stood by the windowsill and looked out the window. "That should be the place where the fierce gunfight took place today?"
Araki Harima turned his head and took a look. "Almost."
He saw Miyazaki Kentaro use his fingers to make a gesture of shooting from a high position into the distance, and he realized that his friend understood what he had just said.
"Yes, I suspect the enemy had a plan in place. They were planning to snipe Chikitahara Tsukasa from a long distance, but Chikitahara Tsukasa's appearance in the convoy gave them the opportunity to shoot him at close range, and the long-range sniping they had arranged was not used." Araki Harima said.
"It's really a deliberate and vicious plan." Cheng Qianfan said with a gloomy face and sighed.
However, his expression was uncertain.
……
"What's wrong?" asked Araki Harima.
"According to the intelligence we have, the target of the Military Control Commission is General Gangcun, and we set a trap based on this and successfully lured the enemy into the trap." Cheng Qianfan said, "So, what is inexplicable now is that the enemy's goal should be to assassinate General Gangcun, but now it seems that they have specifically set up an assassination plan against Qian Beiyuan Si..."
"Chihohara Tsukasa is just a little-known figure. Compared with General Okamura, it is obvious who is more important." He looked at Araki Harima, "Araki-kun, don't you think this is contradictory?"
"This is exactly what I can't figure out," said Araki Harima.
"There is another point. Mr. Araki, you have done such a strict job of keeping secrets. How did our enemies know things that even I didn't know?" Cheng Qianfan said.
Araki Harima nodded silently. The two points mentioned by Miyazaki were exactly what he needed to think carefully and find the answers to.
Let's not talk about the latter point, and just talk about the former point. The enemy's target is General Okamura. In this situation, they also have to deal with "details" like Chikitahara Tsukasa. They even used Chikitahara Tsukasa's death as bait to ambush and kill Section Chief Mitsumoto Jiro.
There is something strange and unreasonable about this.
"Yes, Miyazaki-kun, the strange things you said are indeed puzzling." Araki Harima said, "I thought about it carefully later and even had an illusion that the enemy's target was not General Okamura, but Chihohara Tsukasa, the head of the Sanben section."
"How is this possible?" Cheng Qianfan kept shaking his head. He could not accept this assumption.
……
"These all require us to investigate carefully. I believe we can get to the bottom of them." Araki Harima said with a serious expression.
"The most important thing for us now is to return to the Special High Section as soon as possible." He said to Miyazaki Kentaro, "The section chief is in trouble, and many people have been killed and injured. The Special High Section is leaderless, and -"
"Moreover, the Military Police Headquarters is holding on to our internal affairs, insisting that there are problems within the Special Higher Police." Araki Harima continued, "This is more important than anything else."
Cheng Qianfan nodded with an extremely solemn expression.
Araki Harima's worries are not unreasonable. It can even be said that what Araki Harima is worried about is even more serious than the death of Mitsujiro himself.
The cruelty of the struggle between the empire's military, police, secret service and special agencies was even no less than the fighting between them and the Chongqing elements and the Red Party elements.
"There is one thing, Mr. Araki, you must remember." Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression.
"What?" Araki Harima said, "Miyazaki, please speak."
"Araki-kun, remember not to let others know that Chihohara Si risked his life to get on the bus because he was provoked by you." Cheng Qianfan's expression was more serious than ever before, "Otherwise..."
Araki Harima also had a serious expression, but then he suddenly smiled, a bitter smile.
Miyazaki-kun is absolutely right. The section chief was ambushed and killed, and the most crucial thing was the murder of Chikitahara Tsukasa.
He used provocation to incite Chihohara Tsukasa to take the risk of joining the convoy that was used as bait. This was difficult to explain. The most important thing was that this matter could not stand up to scrutiny:
Once carefully thought about and scrutinized, a very complete plan chain emerged. Even Araki Harima, the operations team leader of the Special High Section, happened to confirm the speculation of the Military Police Headquarters that someone within the Special High Section had defected to the enemy.
Thinking of this, Araki Harima also felt overwhelmed.
"No one noticed it at the time. Even if someone saw it, they would just think that I was telling Chikitahara Tsukasa something. After all, the people he mobilized were all my subordinates." Araki Harima said.
"In any case, Mr. Araki must insist on this point." Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression.
……
Pujiang Street.
"Has the situation changed?" Sheng Shuyu came to the window and asked the little Taoist priest.
The young Taoist handed the telescope to Sheng Shuyu.
"At the moment, there is nothing unusual in Pukou Hotel. The waiters are busy preparing the birthday banquet." said the young Taoist priest.
Just at this time, two subordinates came back to report after gathering information.
"Sun Qiao, what's the situation?" Sheng Shuyu asked immediately.
"Reporting to the commander, there is nothing unusual at the Pukou Hotel. The hotel is already setting up the banquet hall and preparing for the birthday banquet tonight." Sun Qiao replied.
"Reporting to the commander, I asked a waiter, and he said that fish, shrimp, meat, eggs and other ingredients are being delivered continuously, and the hotel has not received any notice of cancellation of the birthday banquet." Hang Jishan also reported.
"Okay!" Sheng Shuyu nodded happily.
He has received the latest intelligence that the brothers at Qimin Hospital successfully broke through after a fierce battle with the enemy.
Gunshots and explosions rang out.
Such a big commotion has occurred, and it is a major event like the assassination of a senior Japanese military official named Gangcun by the Military Control Commission. He is really worried that the Pukou Hotel will be affected.
He was worried that Seiichiro Toda would cancel the birthday party at the last minute.
In this case, the final hammer of this package plan cannot be delivered, which would not be a good thing.
Now that he heard that Toda Seiichiro had no intention of canceling the birthday banquet, Sheng Shuyu finally felt relieved.
Then he frowned slightly again.
He received a report that an explosion seemed to have occurred on Xu'anding Road and an important Japanese figure was assassinated.
