Chapter 1614 Theoretical Agents
The night was dark.
Although the curtains of Room 301 on the third floor of Rooster Apartment were drawn, one could still see through the gap in the curtains that the lights in the room were on.
"Sugita." My grandson Shinta took a sip of tea. He liked to drink hot tea, which would make his whole body from mouth to brain excited by the heat stimulation, just like he liked to chop off the heads of Chinese people with a saber and watch the blood rushing to the sky.
"Director." Sanshiro Sugita was helping to organize files and documents. When he heard the director calling him, he came over immediately.
"Tell me what you think about Cheng Qianfan," said my grandson Shinta.
"Director, are you asking me about my opinion on Cheng Qianfan or Miyazaki Kentaro?" asked Sugita Sanshiro.
"Is there any difference?" My grandson Shinta's eyes lit up and he asked, looking at his men.
……
"Teacher Nakamura once taught that when a person hides for a long time and pretends to be a certain person, he will inevitably be affected by this identity, and his words, deeds, and even psychology will undergo interesting changes," said Sanshiro Sugita.
My grandson Shinta listened carefully. The Nakamura teacher mentioned by Sugita Sanshiro was Hiroteru Nakamura, a professor at the Tokyo Imperial University, who had been secretly invited many times to give lectures to the elite imperial agents.
As an elite of the Nanjing Special High Section, Sanshiro Sugita had been selected to receive training in Tokyo. He had the honor of listening to Hiroteru Nakamura's lectures. After returning, he praised the professor of the Imperial University.
"I have carefully studied Professor Nakamura's point of view." Sugita Sanshiro said, "I recently read the file of Miyazaki Kentaro, and I am very interested. Miyazaki Kentaro pretended to be Cheng Qianfan, but in my opinion, perhaps the two people should be distinguished more carefully."
"You mean, because Kentaro Miyazaki was too devoted to pretending to be Cheng Qianfan, this person has undergone psychological changes, and may even be disloyal to the empire?" My grandson Shinta asked in a deep voice.
……
"Director, that's not what I meant." Sugita Sanshiro explained, "Anyone who lives under another identity for a long time is bound to be affected by the work, life, and other environments and habits of that identity. This is normal and does not mean that there is a problem with the person's loyalty and faith in the empire."
My grandson Shinta seemed to be thinking about something and motioned for Sugita Sanshiro to continue.
"Precisely because of this subtle influence, when we study this person, we can no longer simply look at him by himself..." said Sanshiro Sugita.
"I kind of understand your theory now." My grandson Shinta smiled and said, "You mean, we can no longer look at this person based on the fact that Miyazaki Kentaro pretended to be Cheng Qianfan. Because Miyazaki Kentaro has lived as Cheng Qianfan for a long time, this person has in fact possessed and embodied some of Cheng Qianfan's characteristics to a certain extent."
"Yes, maybe at the beginning, out of the need to pretend to be the target's identity, I needed to deliberately continue and imitate some of the target's habits. However, habits become second nature. In addition, Miyazaki Kentaro has actually been living as Cheng Qianfan for the past few years. So, the director asked me what I think of Miyazaki Kentaro." Sugita Sanshiro said, "I actually prefer to study him as Cheng Qianfan, rather than simply as Miyazaki Kentaro pretending to be Cheng Qianfan."
……
"Sugita." My grandson Shinta said after thinking about it carefully.
"Hay."
"If you think about your theory carefully, it does make sense, but..." My grandson Shinta said, looking at Sugita Sanshiro, "So, Sugita, you studied Miyazaki Kentaro, no, you studied Cheng Qianfan, have you found anything yet?"
"No." Sugita Sanshiro shook his head, "Maybe I need more environmental samples."
"Environmental samples?" asked my grandson Shinta.
"It's more information about Cheng Qianfan." Sugita Sanshiro said.
My grandson Shinta shook his head. This Sugita Sanshiro, ever since he attended Professor Hiroteru Nakamura's lectures in Tokyo, has been fascinated by studying Hiroteru Nakamura's theories, and from time to time he would utter incomprehensible words like "environmental samples".
To the extent that within the Nanjing Special High Police, Sanshiro Sugita was even regarded as an outsider by his colleagues.
As an agent of the Empire of Japan, instead of thinking about how to torture prisoners and how to capture anti-Japanese elements, he studied these incomprehensible so-called theories. In the eyes of many people, Sanshiro Sugita was a crazy and stupid weirdo.
If he had not admired Sanshiro Sugita and knew that he was a very smart and hardworking young man, he would not have brought Sanshiro Sugita with him when he came to Shanghai to take up his post. If Sanshiro Sugita had continued to stay in the Nanjing Special High Section, his life would have been even worse.
……
"Sugita." My grandson Shinta shook his head and said, "I won't provide you with too much information about Miyazaki Kentaro."
"Director, why?" Sugita Sanshiro asked in confusion.
"Miyazaki Kentaro is an imperial agent. Kagesa-kun's evaluation of this man is 'credible'. You don't know him, or even have heard of him. He is an amazing guy. He was born to be an agent." My grandson Shinta said with emotion, "I tend to believe Kagesa-kun's judgment."
Sugita Sanshiro seemed to be thinking about something. He asked, "So, what the director means is that Miyazaki Kentaro is trustworthy and loyal to the Empire. We can't use our limited manpower and energy to investigate one of our own."
"That's right." My grandson Shinta nodded, "I asked you to research Miyazaki Kentaro because of the current chaos in the Shanghai Special High Section. This person will be helpful for me to gain a foothold in Shanghai."
He lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and said, "Miyazaki Kentaro is a good friend of Araki Harima. He was previously a favorite of Mitsumoto Junjiro. In addition, various signs show that Miyazaki Kentaro's Jiujiu Trading has a lot of interests behind it. Relying on these interests, Miyazaki Kentaro seems to have a low position and military rank, but in fact, he is a very interesting and crucial guy."
He looked at Sugita Sanshiro, "For me, because of Kagesa-kun's legacy, I have a chance to win him over."
……
"So, your current purpose of studying Miyazaki Kentaro is very simple and direct, which is to understand this person's preferences, his network of relationships within the empire, and find out his weaknesses." My grandson Shinta said, "This person should not only be won over, but it would be best if I could control him."
There is one thing he did not say, and that is the forces behind the interests that Miyazaki Kentaro has woven with the interests of Jiujiu Trading. If he can control Miyazaki Kentaro, it also means that these forces will become his potential helpers, which will be extremely important for his control of power within the Shanghai Special High Section, and even for his future pursuit of the position of Chief of the Special High Section.
"Yi." Sugita Sanshiro said, "I understand."
Looking at the slightly disappointed Sugita Sanshiro, my grandson Shinta couldn't help but laugh and said, "After completing the current task, if you want to continue studying Miyazaki Kentaro, I won't stop you."
He looked at Sugita Sanshiro and said, "However, you will need to dig up those 'environmental samples' yourself. The Empire will not put more energy into studying its own people."
My grandson Shinta smiled and said, "You can do your theoretical research yourself."
"Yay." Sugita Sanshiro said, "I understand!"
Seeing Sugita Sanshiro's excited look, my grandson Shinta nodded slightly and smiled with satisfaction.
He now has quite a bit of experience in how to train and use this theoretical guy.
……
"Chief, there is something I don't understand." said Sanshiro Sugita.
"Tell me about it." said my grandson Shinta.
"Since, as the director said, Kentaro Miyazaki is the favorite of Section Chief Sanjiro, and at the same time he has established connections with many interest groups through Jiujiu Trading, then why is this person's position and rank in the Special High Police not high?" Sugita Sanshiro asked thoughtfully.
"Good question." My grandson Shinta nodded, "I won't tell you the answer to this question directly. You need to figure it out on your own."
He chuckled and said, "Perhaps this question is a good starting point for your theoretical research."
"Hai." Sugita Sanshiro said seriously, "I understand."
My grandson Shinta looked at Sugita Sanshiro, wondering what he understood. What he said just now was just a joke.
……
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
"Director, we have already checked it out." Umemura Naoya said, "Cheng Qianfan did not go out after returning to Cheng Mansion. During this time, there were two calls into Cheng Mansion and three calls out."
"Tell me more specifically."
"Hello." Umemura Naoya took out a piece of paper and read, "Two calls came in. One was from Xiu Gongshen's house on Masinan Road. Xiu Gongshen is the translator of the Political Department of the French Concession Police Station."
"Xiu Gongshen is a good friend of Cheng Qianfan's father Cheng Wenzao. Xiu Gongshen is also Cheng Qianfan's teacher. The two families are old friends. Intelligence shows that Xiu Gongshen regards Cheng Qianfan as his son or nephew, especially Xiu Gongshen's wife who loves Cheng Qianfan very much." Sugita Sanshiro said on the side, "So, there should be no problem with this call."
"Go on." My grandson Shinta looked at Umemura Naoya and said.
"The other incoming call came from the gendarmerie headquarters," said Naoya Umemura.
"Intelligence shows that Cheng Qianfan has a good relationship with Lieutenant Colonel Atsuto Kawada of the Military Police Command. The call was most likely made by Atsuto Kawada," said Sanshiro Sugita.
"Where are the outgoing calls?" asked my grandson Shinta.
"One was called to the Central Police Station at No. 22 Xuehuali Road; one was called to a clothing store on Xiafei Road; and the other was called to the Mailan Police Station." said Umemura Naoya.
My grandson Shinta waved his hand and Umemura Naoya stepped back.
……
"Tell me your analysis." My grandson Shinta looked at Sugita Sanshiro.
"There's no problem calling the Central Police Station. Cheng Qianfan is the deputy chief inspector of the Central Police Station. He returned to Shanghai from Nanjing on business, so it makes sense for him to call the police station."
"continue."
"The clothing store on Xiafei Road..." Sugita Sanshiro said thoughtfully, "Intelligence shows that Cheng Qianfan has a mistress named Zhang Ping, and Zhang Ping has a clothing store on Xiafei Road. This call is also within the reasonable range."
"continue."
"Mailan Police Station..." Sugita Sanshiro said, "Intelligence shows that Cheng Qianfan and Su Zhikang from the Mailan Police Station are good friends, so there is nothing wrong with this call."
"Hmm." My grandson Shinta smiled, "Your analysis is reasonable."
Sugita Sanshiro looked at my grandson Shinta, and his intuition told him that the director's words did not seem to be entirely a compliment.
"I'm giving you a task. Well, it's not really a task." My grandson Shinta smiled and said, "You want to study Cheng Qianfan, right? Here's another idea for you."
"Director, please speak."
"Study the phone call Cheng Qianfan made to the clothing store on Xiafei Road and study his mistress." My grandson Shinta said.
"Director, I don't understand." Sugita Sanshiro looked puzzled. He didn't think there was anything wrong with the phone call.
"The phone call should be fine." My grandson Shinta shook his head, "I'm just giving you an idea."
"Sugita!" he said seriously, "To study a man, you can start by studying his woman. Besides, compared to a man's wife, his mistress is a more interesting research subject."
"Huh!" Sugita Sanshiro seemed to be thinking about something. "I'm glad to hear your advice, Sugita."
After thinking for a while, he asked again, "Director, we have already arrived in Shanghai. Are we going to stay in the apartment forever? When are we going to the Special Higher Section?"
When my grandson Shinta heard his subordinates asking about this, his expression became serious. He thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow."
Looking at Sugita Sanshiro, he nodded slightly, "It's indeed time to show up."
……
The next day.
Li Hao drove the car and took Brother Fan to the police station.
"Did Commander Song and Sheng Shuyu leave any words before they left Shanghai?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Commander Song asked the little Taoist priest to convey a message to Brother Fan, reminding him to be careful. Commander Song said that after the establishment of the Wang Puppet Regime, the struggle situation is likely to worsen, so we must be careful." Li Hao said.
Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly.
"Commander Sheng said that he will bring gifts back to Chongqing. Please rest assured, Brother Fan, he will not take credit for your contribution." Li Hao said.
Cheng Qianfan snorted coldly, "This guy is picking on me."
He asked, "Did their evacuation go smoothly?"
"Everything went smoothly." Li Hao said, "Ping Chongyangyi was very resourceful. He directly allocated a military train for transportation, and our people sneaked into the military train."
Li Hao laughed and said, "The Japanese searched everywhere for the head of Toda the old devil. They never thought that we actually took their military train to Shanghai."
At this moment, Li Hao showed a look of doubt.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Brother Fan, I seem to have seen Cao Yu." Li Hao said.
"Where?" Cheng Qianfan asked in surprise. He pulled open the car curtain, looked around, but found nothing.
"It disappeared in a blink of an eye, but I couldn't have been mistaken." Li Hao said firmly, "I recognized Cao Yu's ears at the first sight."
