Chapter 1621 Wang Kangnian's "Obsession"
"Miyazaki-kun." Araki Harima personally poured a glass of sake for Miyazaki Kentaro. "After years of hatred, I personally settled it today. You must feel refreshed now, right?"
"The process was quite enjoyable." Cheng Qianfan took a sip of sake and shook his head, saying, "On the contrary, after the execution of Wang Kangnian, it felt boring again."
The two were drinking in the main room when they saw agents carrying Wang Kangnian's body out of the warehouse and putting it in a sack and taking it away.
"What did Wang Kangnian say?" Araki Harima asked, "Did he admit that he was the Red Party's 'Chenzhou'?"
"No." Cheng Qianfan shook his head. "To be honest, I admire these Red Party members. They are so stubborn. Even when they are about to die, they not only refuse to admit that they are Red Party members, but also point out that Cheng Qianfan is a Red Party member."
"He identified Cheng Qianfan as a member of the Red Party?" Araki Harima was slightly surprised, showing a thoughtful expression, and then smiled, "Oh, it was Cheng Qianfan before you killed him."
Looking at his friend, Araki Harima's expression also became serious, "Does Wang Kangnian have any evidence?"
"There is no evidence. It should be more of Wang Kangnian's speculation." Cheng Qianfan said, "Of course, Wang Kangnian didn't know that I was pretending to be Cheng Qianfan at that time. He hated Cheng Qianfan, so it is more likely that this diehard Red Party member knew that he would die and wanted to drag Cheng Qianfan down with him."
As he spoke, Cheng Qianfan showed a puzzled expression, "That's not right. At that time, there were only Wang Kangnian and I in the warehouse. He pointed out Cheng Qianfan in front of me. This was a secret conversation... Only God knows, only the earth knows, only he knows, and I know."
He looked at Araki Harima, "Mr. Araki, did Wang Kangnian accuse you of being a member of the Red Party?"
……
"Why not?" Araki Harima chuckled and clinked glasses with Miyazaki Kentaro. "I brought Wang Kangnian out of the special cell and interrogated him. He kept saying that he was wronged and that he was framed. He said that Cheng Qianfan was a member of the Red Party and even that Wu Shanyue was a member of the Red Party."
"Wu Shanyue?" Cheng Qianfan showed a surprised expression.
"Yes." Araki Harima nodded. "Wu Shanyue was arrested by us because of Wang Kangnian's confession, and eventually defected to the Empire. Perhaps because of this reason, although Wu Shanyue is now loyal to the Empire, he still has a grudge against Wang Kangnian in his heart."
He told Miyazaki Kentaro, "Both Wu Shanyue and Cheng Qianfan had deep grievances with Wang Kangnian, so I thought Wang Kangnian was deliberately framing them and didn't take it too seriously."
"However." Araki Harima looked thoughtful, "This time he met with you alone. In Wang Kangnian's mind, you are Cheng Qianfan. So, it is not ruled out that under such circumstances, what Wang Kangnian said at this time may be true."
Araki Harima took the cigarette handed over by Miyazaki Kentaro, lit it, and took a light puff. "The Chinese have a saying that even if you leave, you should leave with a clear mind. It is not ruled out that Wang Kangnian suspected that Cheng Qianfan was a member of the Red Party. He wanted to test and confirm this in front of you. This is not a fool."
"What you said does make some sense." Cheng Qianfan thought and said, then he looked at Araki Harima, "This means that the theory that Wang Kangnian is the 'Chenzhou' of the Red Party Special Operations Department has been overturned."
……
"Mr. Araki, what do you think?" Cheng Qianfan asked Araki Harima, "After all, strictly speaking, our confirmation that Wang Kangnian is 'Chenzhou' is more based on inferences made based on various clues, and there is no definite evidence."
"I still tend to believe that Wang Kangnian is 'Chenzhou'." Araki Harima shook his head and said, "Especially since Wang Kangnian shot at Chen Xiangjun's body to vent his anger, it is enough to show that Wang Kangnian hated Chen Xiangjun deeply."
"Indeed." Cheng Qianfan nodded. "'Zhu Lin' of the Red Party Special Operations Department was identified and arrested by Chen Xiangjun. Chen Xiangjun surrendered to the Kuomintang Party Affairs Investigation Office, which almost directly destroyed the so-called Red Team of the Red Party Special Operations Department. As the ace agent of the Red Team of the Red Party Special Operations Department, 'Chen Zhou' hated Chen Xiangjun to the core, which was very reasonable."
He clinked glasses with Araki Harima, "Araki-kun, we have been chasing Wang Kangnian for several years. He is still alive today. I never thought you could get him here."
……
"Wang Kangnian has always refused to admit that he is the Red Party member 'Chenzhou'. Since 'Chenzhou' is a major criminal of the Red Party, the section chief requested that he must verify the facts. Therefore, Wang Kangnian has been secretly detained in a special cell." Araki Harima said, "In addition, I learned another situation."
"What's going on?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"While being detained and interrogated in the special cell, Chi Kitahara Tsukasa had visited Wang Kangnian several times," said Araki Harima.
"Qian Beiyuan Si?" Cheng Qianfan frowned. "Why did he go to see Wang Kangnian?"
"I don't know." Araki Harima shook his head. "Chihohara always went to see Wang Kangnian alone. No one knows what they talked about or did."
"Forget it." Cheng Qianfan flicked the ash off his cigarette, smiled faintly, and said, "Both of them are dead."
He stood up, stretched his shoulders and neck, then took out a pack of cigarettes from his briefcase, opened it, played with a cigarette, and said, "Dust to dust, ashes to ashes. I am a generous person and never bother about the dead."
Araki Harima pointed at his friend and laughed, "You are really generous."
……
"However, I am a little interested in what Wang Kangnian said about Cheng Qianfan being a member of the Red Party." Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said.
"Didn't you say that you think Wang Kangnian was making false accusations?" asked Araki Harima.
"He is accusing Cheng Qianfan, who was killed by me. What does it have to do with me, Miyazaki?" Cheng Qianfan smiled slyly. "I am interested in the arrest of the Red Party members on Xiafei Road in 1939 that Wang Kangnian mentioned."
He said to Araki Harima, "I now have two guesses about this matter."
"Tell me about it," said Araki Harima.
"First, he would rather admit that he still has Chongqing in his heart, but he insists on not admitting that he is a member of the Red Party's 'Chenzhou'. We assume that Wang Kangnian did not lie." Cheng Qianfan said, "Then, if Cheng Qianfan was at the crime scene at that time, it is indeed necessary to investigate."
He said to Araki Harima, "If it is true as Wang Kangnian said, Cheng Qianfan is indeed a member of the Red Party, then this is interesting."
Cheng Qianfan laughed and said, "I killed Cheng Qianfan back then. I thought he was just an ordinary patrol officer, but he turned out to be a member of the Red Party. Interesting, interesting."
"What about the second situation?" asked Araki Harima.
"For the first case, I personally still think it's unlikely." Cheng Qianfan said, "Then, for the second case, Wang Kangnian, the top agent of the Red Party's Special Operations Department, Chen Zhou, specifically pointed out this incident to frame me, Cheng Qianfan, even though Cheng Qianfan was indeed present at the scene of the arrest."
He handed a cigarette to Araki Harima, "But, Mr. Araki, aside from the fact that Cheng Qianfan was indeed present at the scene of the arrest, why do you think Wang Kangnian emphasized this matter? You know, even if he was hiding in the Kuomintang Party Affairs Investigation Department as a Red Party agent, Wang Kangnian has arrested quite a few so-called 'Red Party members' over the years."
"I understand a little bit." Araki Harima said thoughtfully, "You mean, the arrest of the Red Party on Xiafei Road a few years ago was very important to Wang Kangnian. It can even be said to be an obsession of his."
"Obsession?" Cheng Qianfan pondered, nodded, and showed appreciation, "As expected of you, Mr. Araki. The word 'obsession' is very appropriate."
He rubbed his hands together, pondered, and said, "'Obsession'? Why obsession?"
"Is there a possibility?" Cheng Qianfan looked at Araki Harima, "I thought of a possibility, Mr. Araki, help me analyze it."
"You said."
……
"Wang Kangnian insisted on not admitting that he was the Red Party's 'Chenzhou'. His reason was that he had killed some Red Party members." Cheng Qianfan said, "We discussed this at the time and thought that it was possible that the Red Party had selected similar people to be death warriors to voluntarily die to cover Wang Kangnian's hiding in the Kuomintang..."
"Yes, there is another possibility. Those Red Party members who were arrested and executed by Wang Kangnian were actually weak-willed elements within the party, or even defectors from the party. The Red Party solved the hidden dangers through Wang Kangnian, and at the same time they could also give credit to Wang Kangnian." Araki Harima nodded and said.
"So, what Araki-kun said just now about 'obsession' gave me some inspiration." Cheng Qianfan said seriously, "Let's first assume that the second possibility exists. Then, Wang Kangnian actually used the Party Affairs Investigation Office to help the Red Party resolve the hidden dangers. In fact, no Red Party member really died in his hands. Instead..."
"On the contrary, the old Liao who was shot dead by his men during the arrest on Xiafei Road in 1939 mentioned by Wang Kangnian should be a real Red Party member, or even an important figure in the Red Party." Araki Harima took over the conversation and said, "And precisely because of this, Wang Kangnian always felt very guilty."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Araki." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "That's exactly what I thought of. Moreover, we further speculate that there is another extreme situation."
"What extreme situation?" Araki Harima asked immediately.
"Is there a possibility that Lao Liao is Chenzhou's subordinate, or has a very close connection with Chenzhou? Such a special Red Party member died at the hands of Wang Kangnian, so he is so obsessed with it. After so many years, he still can't let it go?" Cheng Qianfan said seriously.
……
When Araki Harima heard this, his expression became more serious.
He stood up and paced.
"Miyazaki-kun, your speculation makes sense logically," said Araki Harima. "If this is true, then all the unreasonable things seem to have been explained reasonably."
"There are still many unexplained points in the case of Wang Kangnian. The most important point is that because Wang Kangnian never confessed, we have not been able to capture the Red Party members who were above and below Wang Kangnian." Araki Harima looked at Miyazaki Kentaro and said, "In this case, it is necessary to continue investigating the case of the Party Affairs Investigation Office arresting Lao Liao of the Red Party on Xiafei Road in 1939."
"Like this." Araki Harima looked at Miyazaki Kentaro, "You will target Cheng Qianfan and investigate whether Cheng Qianfan was really present at the scene of the arrest, and whether Cheng Qianfan was really a member of the Red Party."
"I will arrange personnel to re-investigate this case, using the old case of Lao Liao's arrest by the Party Affairs Investigation Department as a starting point," said Araki Harima.
"Okay." Cheng Qianfan nodded and said.
After a slight hesitation, Cheng Qianfan said, "The investigation of the Red Party and related anti-Japanese elements has always been said to be in the charge of the Intelligence Office. Especially for old cases like this, there are very few relevant clues. I'm afraid this matter will require the assistance of the Intelligence Office."
"The Intelligence Room..." Araki Harima said thoughtfully. Although he didn't want my grandson Shinta to be more involved in the work related to the Special Higher Police, he also understood that, as Miyazaki Kentaro said, the Intelligence Room was indeed more professional and better at investigating such old cases.
"I will consider it carefully." Araki Harima thought for a while and said.
"My grandson Shinta has just arrived and has not yet taken control of the Intelligence Office." Cheng Qianfan smiled slightly and said, "And for such a sudden transfer of the head of the Intelligence Office, some people in the Intelligence Office may not be happy and have different opinions."
Araki Harima understood what Miyasaki Kentaro meant, and he nodded deeply.
……
33 Miles Road.
People from the Nanjing District of the Secret Service Headquarters are having dinner.
"Pah!" Someone spat out the food in his mouth and complained, "Is this for human consumption?"
"I came to Shanghai on business, and I didn't ask for any delicacies. And you give me this to eat?" someone echoed.
Yuan Ziren ate with big mouthfuls of food with an expressionless face. He quickly finished the food in the bowl and then slammed the bowl on the table with a bang. "Are you all full? Can't you shut your mouth even though you have food to eat?"
He snorted coldly and looked at his men, "Can't eat? Do you want me to feed you myself?"
Seeing the section chief getting angry, all his subordinates immediately shut up and started eating obediently.
"Brother Yuan, I am sorry for not treating you well enough." Dong Zhengguo looked apologetic. He stood up, clasped his hands together and said to everyone, "Next time, I will definitely treat you brothers well. Chicken, duck, fish, meat, abalone and shark fins, please feel free to serve them."
"Chief Dong, it's settled."
"Chief Dong, Ashali."
The agents then responded with a smile.
……
"It's not your fault." Yuan Ziren and Dong Zhengguo were smoking and talking in a corner. "You did the right thing. You chose such an ordinary restaurant. Although the food is average, it won't attract attention."
These men were very picky and said the food was not good, but in fact the food was only average and far from terrible.
At least Yuan Ziren thought it was still swallowable. When he was in the Red Party, he ate much worse than this. Although he had a good life for a while after joining the National Government, he still had a lot of meat and fish now that he was living with Mr. Wang. However, he was not to the point where he could not eat ordinary meals.
"What impressed me most was Brother Dong's strategy of building a false front to attack Chencang in secret." Yuan Ziren gave Dong Zhengguo a thumbs up.
