Chapter 1777 You have Mr. Wang, we have Marshal Bei
Hearing Miyazaki Kentaro's complaints, Araki Harima shook his head. He got up and closed the door, then took out two bottles of sake from the closet. As soon as he opened one bottle, it was snatched away by Miyazaki Kentaro.
"Hey, hey, hey." Araki Harima did not stop him. He could only let his friend gulp down half a bottle of wine.
"Mr. Araki, although I have various flaws, I am loyal to the empire and I always take the tasks assigned to me seriously. Even if there are difficulties, I will overcome them and complete them well." Cheng Qianfan burped and said to Araki Harima.
"Yes, Miyazaki-kun, your loyalty to the empire, your work ability and work attitude are beyond reproach." Araki Harima nodded, he also opened another bottle of wine and clinked the bottle with Miyazaki Kentaro.
"If it's really my fault, I'll accept Section Chief Arao's punishment." Cheng Qianfan gulped down a few more mouthfuls of wine, wiped his mouth, and said, "But I can't accept this kind of unprovoked accusation."
As he spoke, he took another sip of wine, "I finally understand. I, we are all old subordinates of the section chief. A new emperor chooses new ministers. Naturally, he doesn't like us."
Cheng Qianfan was filled with indignation. He tilted his head back and took a few more gulps of wine.
"You can only say this here, but you can't say it again after you leave this room." Araki Harima took a sip of wine and said, "That person is not a broad-minded person."
Cheng Qianfan was obviously drunk. He then started cursing again, wishing the enemy who killed Sanjibenjiro a miserable death, praising Sanjibenjiro's good points, and complaining about Arao Chihiro's harshness. He kept muttering to himself.
Finally, Cheng Qianfan was drunk too. He tilted his head, fell asleep on the coffee table.
……
Looking at his drunken and sleeping friend, Araki Harima raised a smile.
He could see that his friend was using the alcohol to vent all the frustration and grievance in his heart.
Especially with the death of Sanbenjiro, if we were to say who was the saddest, it would probably be his good friend.
Although Section Chief Sanben had previously favored Chikitahara Tsukasa, which made Miyazaki Kentaro dissatisfied, but overall, Sanben was still very good to Miyazaki Kentaro, especially since this was the trust and respect that his good friend had maintained with real money and sincerity. It can be said that Miyazaki Kentaro suffered the greatest loss when Sanben was killed.
Now he is faced with the harsh scolding of Arao Tomohiro, which brings back sad memories for this good friend.
Kentaro Miyazaki was dissatisfied with Tomohiro Arao and made many irresponsible remarks, which Araki Harima was happy to see.
Before this, his good friend seemed to have some expectations for the new section chief, and his words still maintained the minimum respect. Now, it seems that after this incident, Miyazaki Kentaro and Arao Tomohiro cannot be said to hate each other, but at least they are alienated.
This is a good thing.
Although Tomohiro Arao has assumed the position of section chief, the enthusiasm and desire in Araki Harima's heart have not been completely extinguished.
He was well aware of his good friend's abilities and the importance of his current position.
If he had the cooperation of Kentaro Miyazaki and he could firmly control the Special High Section's operations team, Araki Harima felt that his ambitions might be realized.
……
It was late at night when Cheng Qianfan woke up in a daze.
"Araki-kun, I lost my temper." Cheng Qianfan glanced at Araki Harima, "I was drunk, I didn't say anything inappropriate."
"No, I'm just complaining." said Araki Harima.
Cheng Qianfan's expression changed slightly. He rubbed his brows, frowned and thought, then smiled bitterly, "Forget it, just a few complaints. If I were to say it in front of others, it would just be..."
He shook his head and said to Araki Harima, "There is nothing I cannot say in front of Mr. Araki."
"Don't worry, I've complained to your face a lot." Araki Harima said with a smile, "There's nothing to be shy about between you and me."
Cheng Qianfan nodded. He took the hot towel handed over by Araki Harima, wiped his cheek vigorously, and said with a firm look, "Araki-kun, you are in the Special High Police Department, and I am outside. If we join forces, we can achieve great things."
"Okay." Araki Harima was overjoyed. He took the towel back from his friend and nodded. "Miyazaki-kun, haha, I'm very happy that you can figure it out."
Cheng Qianfan nodded, lit a cigarette and smoked silently.
He suddenly looked at Araki Harima and asked, "Araki-kun, how is the 'snake hunting operation' going?"
……
"There has been no substantial progress at the moment," said Araki Harima. "Xiao Mian and the Shanghai Special Intelligence Group have always been secretive. We have been investigating for so long, but there has been no progress. It is simply impossible to gain anything in such a short period of time."
"So, our section chief, who has just made three major moves since taking office, is about to fail?" Cheng Qianfan said with a sneer.
"Maybe Section Chief Arao has a good idea." said Araki Harima.
The two looked at each other and both smiled.
……
After leaving the Special High Section, Cheng Qianfan sat in the car and rubbed his cheeks vigorously.
This time, the "drunk truth" to Araki Harima was carefully planned by him.
The new chief of the Special High Section, Chihiro Arao, made Cheng Qianfan feel a strong sense of danger.
He had previously thought of repeating the method he used on Mitsumoto Jiro in order to gain the trust of the new section chief.
However, after these two contacts, Cheng Qianfan immediately rejected the feasibility of this plan.
He had a hunch that Arao Chihiro did not trust him. It could not be said that he suspected him, but Arao Chihiro should be secretly watching him with a scrutinizing gaze.
This made Cheng Qianfan feel like a thorn in his back, as he knew too well the power of the head of the Special High Section.
So, Cheng Qianfan did the opposite, reached a tacit understanding and consensus with Araki Harima, took advantage of Araki Harima's ambition and acted secretly.
From a work perspective, he has to obtain intelligence from the Special Higher Police. Under the premise that Arao Tomohiro does not trust him, his cooperation with Araki Harima is the only feasible option. In a sense, both of them are old subordinates of Mitsujiro and are natural allies.
Therefore, he took advantage of the topic today and 'spoke the truth after drinking', winning further recognition and friendship from Araki Harima.
In addition, Cheng Qianfan believed that his staying in Araki-Harima's office for a long time, even getting drunk, would inevitably reach the ears of Arao Tomohiro, and it is impossible that Arao Tomohiro was completely unaware of Araki-Harima's ambitions.
Now that he is mixed up with Araki Harima, Tomohiro Arao will naturally be unhappy. However, from another perspective, if Tomohiro Arao looks down on such a Miyazaki Kentaro, it will reduce Tomohiro Arao's attention to him to a certain extent.
……
"Section Chief, Kentaro Miyazaki has left Captain Araki's office." Yoshimura Shinchi said to Tomohiro Arao.
"Well."
"It is said that he was drinking with Captain Araki and got drunk," said Yoshimura Shinchi.
He looked at Arao Chihiro cautiously and said, "Section Chief, it is said that Captain Araki has been trying to get the position of section chief. Miyazaki and Captain Araki are friends. He is still very powerful in the French Concession. Now these two are mixed up."
"A small person." Arao Chihiro said lightly.
"A small person?" Yoshimura Shinpachi was puzzled.
"I have also heard about how Kentaro Miyazaki rose to power and how he gained the trust of Mitsujiro," said Arao Tomohiro. "If this person can continue to be patient and try to please me, I will look up to him."
As he spoke, Arao Chihiro snorted coldly, shook his head and said, "He is used to getting his way in front of Sanben-kun, and his temper is too stubborn to stand being scolded."
He glanced at Yoshimura Shinpachi and said, "Don't pay any attention to these two people. One is just a small-time person who is used to being cunning, and the other is a reckless man with great ambitions but no brains."
"Hai."
……
"Masashichi." Arao Chihiro said, "Go meet my grandson Shinta and ask him to pay close attention to and investigate the 'Yu Lang' case."
"Yu Lang?" Yoshimura Shinpachi thought for a moment and said, "It is said that Jessfield Road has also been searching for this person, but this person seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth."
"I studied the Yu Lang case carefully, and the more I studied, the more interesting it became," said Arao Chihiro. "This person may be more important than we previously thought."
Arao Chihiro's expression was serious as he continued, "I have a feeling that if we catch this Yu Lang and pry open his mouth, we might be able to catch a big fish that will give us a huge surprise."
"Let my grandson Shinta send someone to Nanjing. This person was arrested in Nanjing. There may be some clues there that have not been noticed before." said Arao Tomohiro.
"Hayi!"
"Also, over at the secret service headquarters, Dong Zhengguo, Cao Yu, and Doctor Hu are also conducting secret investigations," said Arao Chihiro.
Yu Lang was kidnapped, and the other escort personnel were all dead, but these three people were still alive. He always felt that there was something strange about this.
"Section Chief, what about Xue Yanlin?" Yoshimura Shinchi said, "It is said that the Special Agent Headquarters has completed the interrogation of Xue Yanlin, and he has confessed."
"Xue Yanlin should be fine." Arao Chihiro shook his head, "This man is just a poor victim of the power struggle."
Through the Special High Section's personnel at the Secret Service Headquarters, he had already obtained Xue Yanlin's confession, but he did not believe a word of what was said.
According to the confession, the man was arrested by Xue Yanlin. However, Xue Yanlin had problems. When he found out that he had arrested "one of his own", he staged a good show of saving people.
This kind of confession was just a bluff. According to his guess, Yu Lang was most likely a member of the Red Party, which meant that Xue Yanlin was also a member of the Red Party. Then, the subsequent series of operations were extremely stupid. He had dealt with the Red Party when he was in Manchuria, and had interrogated and executed many members of the Red Party. If the Red Party were all so stupid, they would not have become a thorn in the side of the empire in Manchuria.
……
After Yoshimura Shinchi left, Arao Tomohiro started thinking about his subordinate Miyazaki Kentaro.
Because he naturally saw the ability and role of Cheng Qianfan in the French Concession, he naturally had to use Miyazaki Kentaro, but this person was in cahoots with Araki Harima, so he needed to think carefully about how to use this person.
Although he did not think that Araki Harima could pose any threat to him, he had to be on guard against people like Miyazaki Kentaro who were giving him advice behind the scenes.
You know, Araki Harima has the action team firmly in his hands, which shows that he is quite capable.
Arao Tomohiro couldn't help but press his brows, Shanghai Special High Section was an important position where he could realize his dreams, however, after the sudden death of San Jiro, he was parachuted in, which was not a normal succession, so that now the Special High Section is not only unable to achieve unity from top to bottom, but also has internal strife, which also makes him a little irritated.
His abilities, those of Tomohiro Arao, should be used in his work, in expanding the territory for the Empire of Japan, and should not be wasted on internal intrigues and power struggles.
……
The Japanese army once attempted to invade the French Concession. The panic caused by this incident gradually dissipated with the passage of time.
Especially when the news came that distant France had formally reached a surrender agreement with Germany, a message began to spread among the citizens of the French Concession:
The French surrendered to the Germans. Although the French Concession still belongs to the French, there are still Germans above the French.
In other words, Germany was the emperor of the French Concession. With such a big Buddha around, the Japanese would never dare to seize the French Concession again.
This news spread widely. Citizens were skeptical at first, then gradually accepted it, and finally felt relieved.
It is already July and the weather in Shanghai is getting hotter.
The ceiling fan in the deputy chief inspector's office was turning, making a squeaking sound.
"Haozi, ask the people from the General Affairs Office to come and fix the ceiling fan this afternoon." Cheng Qianfan said unhappily.
"Yes, Brother Fan." Li Hao agreed, "Brother Fan, squad leader Pete is here."
As he spoke, Li Hao waited for Pete to come in, then closed the door and went out.
"The concession is safe," said Pete.
Cheng Qianfan looked at Pete, waiting for him to continue.
"A telegram from Marseilles says that the heroic Field Marshal has established a government in Vichy, and that this puppet regime has decided to become a vassal state of the Germans," said Pitt.
"Your words are too harsh." Cheng Qianfan frowned and said, "Be careful that those gentlemen in the Municipal Council hear it."
"Why, they dare to do it, and we can't let people say anything?" Pitt snorted coldly, "You Chinese have Wang Tianhai who drew his sword into a piece, and we in France also have the heroic Marshal Pétain. It's really fate."
"Please don't be disrespectful to Mr. Wang in front of me." Cheng Qianfan's face suddenly darkened, and he said seriously, "Peter, I follow Mr. Wang's line of saving the country through peace. I am sure that only Mr. Wang can save China. Although you are a Westerner and there are some things that cannot be constrained by you, please maintain the most basic courtesy and respect for Mr. Wang."
