Chapter 1981 Sakamoto Ryono: Miyazaki-kun, you are the protagonist in my book!
“It all stems from a misunderstanding,” Cheng Qianfan said solemnly. “Naito Kotsuba misunderstood me. Although I don’t know whether Lieutenant Colonel Zuo had ever done anything to harm me, even if he did, it was caused by a misunderstanding.”
“I understand what Lieutenant Colonel Sagami means,” he said to Atsuto Kawada. “Young Master Atsuto, you know me. I am not someone who cannot distinguish between public and private matters.”
“I understand.” Atsuto Kawada nodded.
"Putting everything else aside, as long as you, young master Atsuto, give the word, I will not hesitate to help search for Naito Shintaro, or even for the most difficult things." He stood up and poured wine for Kawada Atsuto, saying, "Besides, I really don't have any enmity with the Naito family. Strictly speaking, it was the Naito family's misunderstanding and actions that hurt me. I am the victim."
……
“I can prove it,” Sakamoto Ryono said.
“So, as long as the Naito family is willing to reconcile, I’m fine with it,” Cheng Qianfan continued.
“I understand.” Kawada Atsuto nodded. “Don’t worry, whatever happens, I’ll take care of it for you.”
“Young Master Atsuto, you are the source of my confidence,” Cheng Qianfan said in a slightly exaggerated tone. “I can’t afford to offend Lieutenant Colonel Naito.”
Atsuto Kawada burst into laughter.
……
“If we had a photo of Major Naito Shintaro, it would be much easier to find him,” Cheng Qianfan said to Kawada Atsuto.
“I don’t have the photo right now,” Atsuto Kawada said. “I’ll ask around for you.”
"Thank you for your hard work, Young Master Duren," Cheng Qianfan said.
Atsuto Kawada nodded slightly. It was so comfortable talking to Kentaro. Listen to this: he was the one who arranged for Kentaro Miyazaki to help find someone, but in Kentaro's mouth, it was he who was the one who asked for help.
……
"When is Onodera-kun going back to Shanghai?" Sakamoto Ryono asked.
“That’s exactly what I was going to ask,” Cheng Qianfan said.
"The fighting on the Zhejiang-Jiangxi front is fierce, and Onodera Shogo cannot return for the time being," Kawada Atsuto said, shaking his head.
"The Empire has completely occupied Jinhua, Quzhou, and Shangrao," Cheng Qianfan said happily. "Shangrao is the location of the Third War Zone Command of the Chinese Army. The newspapers say that Gu Mosan fled to Jianyang, Fujian in a sorry state. Hahaha."
“Yes.” Kawada Atsuto smiled and nodded. “The Empire’s eastern and western armies have successfully joined forces at Hengfeng, completely opening up the Zhejiang-Jiangxi corridor and completing the established occupation objective.”
……
"So, what's next is the sweep operation?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
“That’s right.” Kawada Atsuto nodded. “Next is the sweeping pacification campaign. The Empire will completely sweep through the Zhejiang-Jiangxi region.”
“The lives of Chinese people are worthless.” Cheng Qianfan said with a sinister expression. “The Empire must completely exterminate the stubborn Chinese people.”
“It’s not entirely worthless,” Atsuto Kawada said with a smile. “At the very least, it has experimental value.”
Cheng Qianfan's heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed slightly.
He immediately thought of the mysterious Unit 4461, which he had learned about before.
Is the enemy planning to use biological weapons to poison our military and civilians in the Zhejiang-Jiangxi region?
He pretended not to hear this, and calmly lowered his head to pick up his wine glass, clinking glasses with Sakamoto Ryono.
……
"General Sakai Naotsugu has unfortunately perished. The situation of the 15th Division must be quite dire now," Sakamoto Yoshino asked.
"The division commander's death is a great disgrace." Kawada Atsuto nodded. "The situation of the 15th Division is indeed not good."
As he spoke, he looked at Kentaro Miyazaki and asked, "Kentaro, is there something you need from me today?"
"Young Master Du is wise." Cheng Qianfan looked slightly embarrassed.
"Are you asking about Ma Junyao?" Kawada Atsuto asked, taking a sip of sake and fiddling with his sake cup.
“Yes.” Cheng Qianfan nodded, then, fearing that Kawada Atsuto might misunderstand that he harbored resentment, he hurriedly explained, “Atsuto, I didn’t mean anything by it. I’m just very curious about this person’s background, so that I can decide how to deal with him.”
……
“I’m not entirely clear about Ma Junyao’s true background either,” Kawada Atsuto pondered. “His appointment was arranged by the Haruki Office of the Mei Agency.”
"Colonel Qingyin personally gave the order?" Cheng Qianfan's expression changed, and he took a deep breath before asking.
“Of course not.” Atsuto Kawada shook his head.
“Although they’re just staff from Haruki’s residence,” he said to Kentaro Miyazaki, “they represent Colonel Haruki’s authority, so you understand…”
……
“I understand.” Cheng Qianfan nodded quickly, then his expression turned serious. “It seems I need to be careful in dealing with Ma Junyao.”
“There’s no need to be so careful.” Kawada Atsuto waved his hand. “My judgment is that it must be my connections in the Nanjing government that got the help of the Seiki Official Residence to get this position.”
“Even after the Prime Minister’s Office made a phone call to pull strings, all they got was a position as deputy director of the Special Police Department, which means that this person’s background is actually only average,” Sakamoto Ryono suddenly said.
Atsuto Kawada and Kentaro Miyazaki both immediately turned their heads to look at him.
"What's wrong?" Sakamoto Ryono subconsciously touched his face, then looked at it in his hand, but there was no trace of lipstick.
"Sakamoto-kun, you're smarter than me," Cheng Qianfan remarked.
“Really?” Sakamoto Ryono said happily, “I think so too.”
Then Cheng Qianfan lightly punched him.
“Ryono is very capable,” Kawada Atsuto said happily. “Don’t be fooled by his indifference; he’s actually quite clear-headed because he’s detached from the situation and doesn’t get involved.”
“That’s right.” Cheng Qianfan nodded in deep agreement.
"In short, you can handle this person as you see fit," Atsuto Kawada said to Kentaro Miyazaki.
“I understand.” Cheng Qianfan nodded and smiled, “As long as they don’t have the powerful backing of the Empire, I have nothing to fear.”
"Background in Nanjing?" He chuckled and said, "Speaking of background in the Nanjing government, I, Cheng, am not entirely without connections."
Atsuto Kawada and Ryono Sakamoto both burst into laughter.
In particular, Ryono Sakamoto admired and respected Kentaro Miyazaki for his success in impersonating Cheng Qianfan.
He had already decided that after the war ended, he would definitely write a war spy novel with Kentaro Miyazaki as the protagonist.
“Kentaro!” Sakamoto Ryono slammed his hand on the table and said, “My most important epic novel will be based on you.”
……
That night.
No. 19, Luojiawan, Chongqing.
Qi Wu walked over with a serious expression and handed a telegram to Dai Chunfeng with both hands. It read, "'Bluebird' Urgent Telegram."
"These beasts!" Dai Chunfeng glanced at the telegram, his face changed drastically, and he slammed his fist on the desk.
Several guards rushed in, guns at the ready.
"go out."
The guards retreated silently.
"Bluebird said that the Japanese may have secretly deployed Unit 4461 to the Zhejiang-Jiangxi region, seemingly to test our countrymen on the battlefield," Qi Wu said. "However, he also said that this was just a speculation based on information from Kawada Atsuto's words, and the specific situation should be based on feedback from the Zhejiang-Jiangxi front."
……
“It’s not a guess, it’s a fact.” Dai Chunfeng nodded with a gloomy expression, then opened a drawer and handed several telegrams to Qi Wu.
"You beastly scum!" Qi Wu cursed angrily.
The telegram came from the Zhejiang Military Intelligence Bureau, a secret report from the Zhejiang-Jiangxi front. It seemed that a large-scale epidemic had spread in the Zhejiang-Jiangxi region since July, with many people being infected and suffering terribly.
Just recently, the head of the National Government Quzhou Medical Team discovered an anomaly: the Zhejiang Provincial Health Department detected artificially cultivated Yersinia pestis in Yiwu and Quzhou. To put it bluntly, the most distinctive feature of this plague bacterium is that it is not a natural strain!
In addition, the 88th Division of the National Revolutionary Army also captured some culture tanks abandoned by the Japanese army. The soldiers did not know what they were used for, but the medical team recognized them as culture tanks.
……
“That makes sense,” Qi Wu said. “The Japanese must be waging this inhumane bacteriological warfare.”
“Even without the ‘Bluebird’ telegram, based on our extensive analysis, we tend to believe that the Japanese used bacteria to spread the virus,” Dai Chunfeng said. “Medical teams risked their lives to enter the epidemic area, and survivors said that some Japanese soldiers, contrary to their usual behavior, did not massacre civilians and even fed cakes to children.”
"There's definitely something wrong with the pastries," Qi Wu said in a deep voice. "How could these beasts be so kind?!"
“Now that we have the ‘Bluebird’ telegram, all our guesses can be confirmed,” Dai Chunfeng said, his face ashen. “Prepare the car; I’m going to see the principal immediately.”
With Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces occupied, his hometown of Quzhou also fell. He received intelligence that his hometown had been burned, killed, and looted by the Japanese army, a truly tragic situation. The anger in his heart had been burning for a long time.
According to intelligence from the Zhejiang-Jiangxi front, the epidemic is spreading mainly in Quzhou, Yiwu, and Jinhua!
All those Japanese devils deserve to be killed!
……
The next day.
As soon as Kawada Atsuto arrived at his office, he saw Sagami Umezu waiting for him at the door.
"Sagami-kun, so early?" Kawada Atsuto took out his key, opened the door, and invited Sagami Umezu to stay.
"Kawada-kun, what did Kentaro Miyazaki say?" Umezumi Sagami asked anxiously.
“Kentaro said he would arrange for someone to help find the person,” Atsuto Kawada said.
“Miyazaki is sensible,” said Sagami Umezumi, nodding.
"It seems that yesterday's visit to the Navy Club by Mr. Sasuke was fruitless and made no progress?" Atsuto Kawada asked.
"No progress, but some gains," said Sagami Umezumi.
He led his men to the Navy Club and learned that Shintaro Naito had indeed disappeared and not returned.
At the same time, he discovered an important piece of information: Shintaro Naito had borrowed a vehicle from an imperial merchant named Masaki Suzuki through his connections at the Naval Club.
Subsequently, Sae-gami Umezumi led a group to find Suzuki Masaki, only to learn that the borrowed vehicle had not been returned.
……
“In other words, we find the vehicle based on its license plate,” Atsuto Kawada said thoughtfully. “Once we find the vehicle, we find the person.”
“That’s theoretically true.” Sagami Umezumi nodded. “Unless the vehicle was also destroyed.”
"In that situation, the chances of survival are slim," Kawada Atsuto sighed.
Sagami Umezumi nodded with a serious expression. If even the vehicle was destroyed, wouldn't the person's body be disposed of as well?
However, he glanced at Kawada Atsuto and, if his intuition was correct, he sensed that Kawada Atsuto seemed somewhat excited when he said those words.
“We are now inclined to suspect that Shintaro Naito disappeared in the former French Concession,” said Umezumi Sagami. “Kentaro Miyazaki is a local bigwig in the French Concession, so we’ll have to ask him for help in finding the vehicle.”
“Okay.” Atsuto Kawada nodded. “I’ll call Kentaro in a bit.”
"Thank you," said Sagami Umezumi gratefully.
……
After Sagami Umezumi left, Kawada Atsuto stroked his chin thoughtfully, seemingly thinking that Sagami Umezumi was paying a little too much attention to the case...
Atsuto Kawada first processed several documents.
Then I checked the archived emails again.
Finally, I picked up the newspaper and read it for a while.
Finally, he picked up the phone and called the office of the head of the Special Police Division of the Shanghai First Police Bureau.
……
“Okay, I understand.” Cheng Qianfan smiled and nodded. “I’ll arrange for someone to check the vehicle right away.”
"It's nothing, Lieutenant Colonel Kawada is too kind."
Cheng Qianfan hung up the phone.
He stroked his chin, a playful expression on his face.
Atsuto Kawada called him to ask for help in finding the vehicle with license plate number 6643, saying that it was the vehicle currently being used by Shintaro Naito.
What he found interesting was that Kawada Atsuto's tone wasn't in a hurry at all. He even chatted with him for a while on the phone, mentioning that the red wine 'Cheng-kun' had given him was quite good, before finally mentioning that he needed help finding the vehicle.
Young Master Atsuto isn't actually that enthusiastic about this matter.
Cheng Qianfan pondered to himself.
Is it because this matter was handled by Sagami Umezumi, and Kawada Atsuto was only assisting?
Cheng Qianfan shook his head.
Although this young master Du Ren still retains the temperament of a spoiled young master, he is quite serious and responsible when it comes to work. He doesn't let personal emotions interfere, and he certainly won't let personal matters interfere with public duties.
So, the reason why Master Atsuto did this is...
……
Young Master Atsuto?
Master!
Ok?
Suddenly, Cheng Qianfan had a thought, and he felt that he understood something.
This Naito Shintaro was born into a commoner family; he was merely Naito Yusaku's adopted son.
However, this person of humble origins won the favor of the noble lady of the Fujiwara family simply because of his handsome appearance.
Such behavior was absolutely abhorrent and intolerable in the eyes of Atsuto Kawada, the young master of the Kawada family.
In a sense, Naito Shintaro's actions were a serious offense to the entire aristocratic class.
He had every reason to suspect that, in the eyes of Atsuto Kawada, this young nobleman, Major Shintaro Naito was a hundred times more despicable than the anti-Japanese armed forces.
Cheng Qianfan's heart skipped a beat. He even maliciously speculated that if Major Naito Shintaro, a Japanese reserve officer, really got into trouble or even died, Kawada Atsuto would probably be happy to have a couple of drinks.
Of course, it was official business, so Master Atsuto couldn't say anything. However, Kawada Atsuto's phone call was actually quite meaningful. Knowing Master Atsuto well, he immediately understood Kawada Atsuto's meaning:
There's no need to rush to check the vehicle; there's no rush.
Since Young Master Duren had already hinted at this meaning, he was naturally even less in a hurry.
