Chapter 1672 The Japanese on the Second Floor
"That's true." Xiu Yuman said, "When I was in Shanghai, there were several times when I was almost in danger. It was only thanks to Cheng Qianfan's power that I was able to get through safely."
She said, "That time when I took the documents from you, I encountered a police checkpoint in the International Settlement. They knew I was Cheng Qianfan's sister and let me go."
"I was really nervous that time. It didn't matter if something happened to me, but it would be troublesome if the information fell into the hands of the enemy," said Xiu Yuman.
"Cheng Qianfan contributed to the anti-Japanese war in this unconventional way." Tang Hao said sarcastically, "I wonder if Mr. Cheng Wenzao and Ms. Su Zhifu are still alive in heaven."
Xiu Yuman sighed softly when she heard this.
……
Cheng Qianfan was born into a scholarly family in Jiangshan, and it can be said that his family is full of loyal heroes!
Grandpa Gu Cheng was a member of the Tongmenghui, who expelled the Tartars and restored China.
Uncle Cheng and Aunt Su joined the Kuomintang very early on, campaigned for the country and the nation, and were national martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the Northern Expedition.
Who could have thought that Cheng Qianfan would become an executioner who hated the red people, and now he is even close to the Japanese and has become a traitor to Wang Tianhai.
She had just returned to Shanghai from abroad. When she heard her comrades in Shanghai mention Cheng Qianfan, they were so angry that they looked like they wanted to eat him alive. This really shocked her.
"What is Cheng Qianfan doing in Nanjing?" Tang Hao asked.
"Cheng Qianfan's father was a good friend of Chu Mingyu. Because of this relationship, Cheng Qianfan is quite appreciated and trusted by Chu Mingyu." Xiu Yuman said, "Cheng Qianfan is now Chu Mingyu's secretary."
She stood up and poured a glass of water for Tang Hao, and continued, "Not only that, as far as I know, Cheng Qianfan was previously selected to study at Wang Tianhai's Jiangwan Army Officer Training Corps, and was quite appreciated by Wang Tianhai."
"So, Cheng Qianfan is going to work in Nanjing in the future?" Tang Hao asked.
"I'm not sure about that. I think he will probably have to travel between Nanjing and Shanghai in the future." Xiu Yuman said, "Cheng Qianfan came to Nanjing this time, probably because of the work needs of the Wang Puppet Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
……
"I see." Tang Hao nodded. "Since you have already shown up at Cheng Qianfan's place, and he knows you are in Nanjing, you can go meet him if you have time in the next few days. You can put on Secretary Cheng's tiger skin first, just in case."
"Okay." Xiu Yuman nodded.
"In addition, as you were followed today, we have to prepare for the worst-case scenario because the other party's background is unknown." Tang Hao said, "So, you must not contact the Nanjing Party organization in the next few days. Be careful of spies who are still determined to follow you."
"I will pay attention." Xiu Yuman nodded. "Not only me, you should also pay more attention. After all, we came to Nanjing together on business, and we are old colleagues for many years. It is hard to say whether the enemy will pay attention to you as well."
"I'll pay attention." Tang Hao nodded and said with a smile, "It's not like I don't have a backer either. Don't forget, I live in Umezu Sasaki."
As he spoke, Tang Hao stood up and straightened his back, meaning that he also had a backer.
……
When Military Control Commissioner Zhao Yi tried to assassinate Wang Tianhai but failed, he fired several shots at the 'Hinomaru' and finally committed suicide for his country. This incident shocked Shanghai and countless Chinese people shed tears!
As the editor-in-chief of Zhao Yi, he was also implicated. He was arrested by the Japanese gendarmerie and subjected to severe torture.
He deliberately acted like he was crying for his parents, and even knelt down to beg for mercy and protest his injustice to the Japanese.
Saeki Umezumi took the opportunity to recruit him and let him secretly work for the Shanghai Gendarmerie.
"I finally understand." Xiu Yuman said jokingly, "If anyone hiding in the occupied areas doesn't have a piece of traitor's clothes on his body, it will be very difficult to survive."
"No, we need to be mentally and physically prepared to 'recognize the thief as our father.'" Tang Hao said with a wry smile.
As an old Bolshevik, he acted very well in the scene where he begged for mercy and even knelt down to the Japanese Sakami Umezumi, but he couldn't get over it in his heart.
"Why do we need to be physically prepared?" Xiu Yuman asked puzzledly.
"Now I don't even find the smell of the reincarnation of grains smelly." Tang Hao said with a wry smile, "As someone who has been involved in the game myself, I feel it more closely. I think traitors are dirtier than anything else."
……
Minsheng Hotel.
Cheng Qianfan leaned on the sofa, still thinking about Oizumi Takaya, who was highly respected by Sakamoto Ryouno.
The more he thought about it, the more strange it seemed.
Takaya Oizumi is the Director of the Cultural and Educational Facilities Planning Department of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan.
This status is not low, and he can definitely be regarded as a senior official of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of the Japanese Cabinet.
Considering that in Nanjing, an "occupied area", a senior cabinet official who came to Nanjing from the main island of Japan was indeed of quite prominent status.
Even given the Wang Tianhai regime's flattering attitude towards Japan, Cheng Qianfan would not be surprised at all if someone said that Wang Tianhai would meet with Oizumi Takaya.
Therefore, it is reasonable that Takaya Oizumi, a Japanese cabinet official, came to the Asia Hotel to meet with his schoolmate Heitaro Imamura, protected by Japanese soldiers.
There were even Japanese troops who blocked the road in front of the Asia Hotel, where senior Japanese officials and many Westerners were staying. Although this seemed a bit excessive, it did not seem entirely unreasonable considering the importance that senior Japanese officials in Nanjing attached to and their flattery of senior cabinet officials.
……
What really surprised Cheng Qianfan were some of the discoveries he made when he took a glance at Oizumi Takashi and his group.
He could conclude that these people were all Japanese, or in other words, they should all be members of Oizumi Takaya's entourage.
It was an intuition, he knew it was a Japanese at a glance.
They are all Japanese entourage, which is a bit strange.
According to Sakamoto Yosano, Oizumi Takaya came to Nanjing for inspection in the capacity of Minister of the Cultural and Educational Facilities Planning Department of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of the Japanese Cabinet. His official job was to inspect the promotion of slave education in Nanjing, but he also secretly arranged to inspect and guide the work of the "pen troops".
Leaving aside the latter, and only talking about the former, this shows that Oizumi Takaya had already come into contact with the Wang Puppet Regime, and caused some people within the Wang Puppet Regime to be dissatisfied with the purpose of Oizumi Takaya's trip.
In other words, there might be dissatisfaction, but Cheng Qianfan believed that it was more of a flattery, after all, Oizumi Takaya was a distinguished guest from the Japanese cabinet.
Now, Mura Heitaro's visiting group to Nanjing was also the focus of attention and warm reception by the Wang Puppet Regime.
Under such circumstances, it was somewhat strange that when Oizumi Takaya came to visit Imamura Heitaro, there was no one from the Wang Puppet Regime to receive or accompany him.
Of course, it is also possible that in Oizumi Takaya's view, this visit was of a private nature and Oizumi Takaya did not inform the Wang Puppet Regime in advance.
Therefore, in Cheng Qianfan's mind, this unreasonable thing only belongs to the category of "perhaps it can be explained".
……
What really caught his attention were the two people next to Oizumi Takaya at the time.
Although he only took a few glances, Cheng Qianfan was surprised to find that the two people beside Oizumi Takashi were both strong and powerful men. They did not have that kind of cultured air and looked more like guards from the military.
Are there elite soldiers closely protecting Oizumi Takaya?
This guess aroused Cheng Qianfan's great interest.
It's martial law again.
Elite soldiers provide close protection.
The most important thing is that these two people gave Cheng Qianfan the feeling that they were ready to deal with any unexpected crisis at any time, and were ready to take the bullet with their own bodies if anything happened.
As such.
This gave Cheng Qianfan the feeling that the Japanese's attention and pomp to Oizumi Takashi seemed to be not really for the sake of pomp.
Its real purpose is to protect the safety of Takashi Oizumi.
This is very strange. Although the Minister of the Cultural and Educational Facilities Planning Department of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology who came to Nanjing from the main island of Japan has a high status, unless his true identity is revealed, it can be said that Oizumi Takashi's safety factor is still relatively high.
Even in the eyes of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Oizumi Takaya was not worth assassinating, and the possibility of him being assassinated was even lower than that of the Japanese soldiers patrolling the streets.
So, in this situation, why does the Japanese side attach so much importance to Oizumi Takaya's safety?
Combined with the strange thing which was not too unreasonable, the more Cheng Qianfan thought about it, the more unreasonable it seemed.
……
Cheng Qianfan sat up from the sofa, lit a cigarette and thought carefully.
Two possibilities:
First, the disclosure of Oizumi Takaya's identity has attracted the interest of certain parties, most likely the Military Control Commission.
After all, a senior official of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of the Japanese Cabinet is still very tempting.
Cheng Qianfan shook his head slightly. He thought this
In other words, this Oizumi Takaya has some other unknown identity, and this yet-to-be-determined identity determines that he deserves such security treatment.
Cheng Qianfan flicked the ash off his cigarette. He couldn’t see through it.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, all this is just his fantasy, and in fact this is a private meeting between two alumni who are young senior officials of the Japanese government.
He shook his head slightly, putting this 'chance encounter' aside for the time being and began to think about more pressing matters.
……
Project 'Octopus'!
It has been some time since he accepted this secret investigation mission from Peng Yuou, but he has almost no clue.
The only clue at present is on the body of the sacrificed Hang Kaiqing.
Or to be more precise, it is the "Hang Kaiqing Red Party" case that the secret service headquarters is still secretly investigating.
However, the messy clues he learned from Haozi did not bring him any useful value.
Although Comrade Peng Yuou had communicated with Comrade 'Nongfu' in advance and contacted him to hand over the task to him when he stopped in Shanghai, Cheng Qianfan had a hunch that the real purpose of Comrade 'Cousin's' trip back to Shanghai was to hand over the task to him in a face-to-face interview, so as to avoid the risk of the task being transmitted through telegrams.
This shows how important and urgent this task is.
The more Cheng Qianfan thought about it, the more anxious he became.
He poured himself a cup of hot water and took a sip. As the hot water that burned his mouth went into his stomach, he felt much more comfortable.
Time is running out, the more so, the less anxious we have to be!
Cheng Qianfan put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, then took out another cigarette, but did not light it. Instead, he held it in his hand and played with it.
What details did I miss?
In other words, is there a blind spot in the direction of investigation? A wrong choice?
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door and Haozi's voice was heard from outside.
"Come in." Cheng Qianfan said.
……
"You mean, someone forced his way up to the third floor and then had a conflict with the people at the secret service headquarters?" Cheng Qianfan asked in surprise.
"Yes, Brother Fan." Haozi said, "The man must have come in by mistake and had an argument with the spy on the third floor."
"Where is that person?" Cheng Qianfan asked, "Was he captured by the secret service headquarters?"
"No." said Haozi.
"No one was arrested?" Cheng Qianfan was extremely surprised. "The secret service headquarters in Shanghai killed people without restraint, but now they are so vulnerable in Nanjing?"
He asked Haozi, "Or is that person important?"
"We were planning to arrest someone," Haozi said. He didn't want to keep the secret any longer and said directly, "That person is not Chinese, he is Japanese."
"Japanese?" Cheng Qianfan frowned slightly.
"Yes." Haozi said, "I heard from the brothers who stayed behind that this guy was very flamboyant. He was surrounded by the spies from the secret service headquarters, but he was not afraid and even slapped Zhou Gaoyuan in the face."
These spies had never been treated like this before. They were about to draw their guns, but then they heard the man cursing in Japanese, and the spies were stunned.
The spies, who were already very angry, were frightened when they saw that the man was actually a Japanese. They did not dare to arrest him anymore, but instead respectfully sent him down the stairs.
"A dog is a dog." Cheng Qianfan sneered and said, "The beast has seen the ugly face of its master."
"Do you know what that Japanese guy does?" Cheng Qianfan asked casually.
"I don't know." Haozi shook his head, "That person checked in after we left the hotel."
Cheng Qianfan nodded, but kept the matter in mind secretly, and didn't pay too much attention to it at the moment.
"Pay attention to that Japanese guy." Cheng Qianfan casually instructed Haozi.
A new Japanese man has moved into the second floor, so it's reasonable for him to be more careful.
……
Room 220.
Liu Bo stood behind the door, listening vigilantly to the footsteps in the corridor.
He took advantage of the time difference while Cheng Qianfan and others were away and started strolling around the hotel.
Soon, he confirmed the abnormality on the third floor.
The enemy is likely to have placed the traitor Dai Chengbi on the third floor.
So, this Bolshevik fighter temporarily began to act as a Japanese, pretending to be wandering around the hotel by chance, and strolled up to the third floor.
"Room 309." Liu Bo muttered to himself.
He deliberately created a noise and finally lured out the spy chief. He noticed that this person came out of Room 309, and after this person came out, there was still a person standing guard at the door of Room 309.
In this way, Liu Bo immediately guessed that the enemy had placed Dai Chengbi in room 309.
