Chapter 1986 Hideto Oda: Interesting Details!
"You say he was restrained?" Li Cuiqun laughed angrily, looking at Cao Yu and questioning him.
The people who killed me and arrested me, and they actually say they were restrained?
“Director, I say this based on two aspects of analysis,” Cao Yu said.
"explain."
“First of all, from an objective point of view, I believe that Section Chief Dong’s handling of the matter was inappropriate,” Cao Yu said.
Li Cuiqun glanced at Cao Yu.
……
“Regardless, Su Zhe infiltrated the SWAT team while being pursued by our side, and then attempted to assassinate Cheng Qianfan at the cost of his life,” Cao Yu said. “Cheng Qianfan experienced the terror of life and death, so it’s normal for him to be angry under these circumstances.”
"But Section Chief Dong's attitude at this time was not conciliatory enough, which directly caused Cheng Qianfan to become even more angry," Cao Yu said.
“Furthermore, according to intelligence from our brothers in the Special Police Department, Cheng Qianfan addressed Section Chief Dong as ‘First Mate’ in his fury,” Cao Yu said. “Director, this detail is enough to show that Cheng Qianfan was extremely angry, no, to be precise, full of hatred.”
"You mean, Cheng Qianfan still holds a grudge against Dong Zhengguo for trying to assassinate him back then?" Li Cuiqun asked, frowning.
“That must be it.” Cao Yu nodded. “Section Chief Zhao was right about one thing: Cheng Qianfan is extremely afraid of his life.”
……
“A person who values their life will hate anyone who threatens their safety to the core,” Cao Yu said. “In fact, Cheng Qianfan has not retaliated against Section Chief Dong, probably out of respect for you, Director. Otherwise, Section Chief Dong would probably be in grave danger long ago, or at least unable to stay in Shanghai.”
"So, when you say 'restraint,' you mean that my junior classmate had the intention to kill Dong Zhengguo at the time?" Li Cuiqun pondered and said.
“That must be it.” Cao Yu nodded and said seriously, “If you were in his shoes, Director Cheng must have been filled with both old and new grudges at the time.”
"After your analysis, he really did show some restraint," Li Cuiqun said with a cold snort.
He tossed a cigarette to Cao Yu.
Cao Yu hurriedly caught it, but didn't dare to light it directly. Instead, he tucked it behind his ear.
……
“Your analysis just now overlooked one point,” Li Cuiqun said.
"I am rather slow-witted, please enlighten me, Director," Cao Yu quickly said.
“He suffered a silent loss in this reorganization. Even if he took the opportunity to cause trouble and actually shot and killed Dong Zhengguo…” Li Cuiqun said with a gloomy face, “Cheng Qianfan may be punished, but the problem won’t be too big. Both the Japanese and Nanjing will compensate him for his previous understanding of the bigger picture.”
"So, my junior classmate really did restrain himself." Li Cuiqun clicked his tongue twice, but his expression grew increasingly gloomy.
“Director, in my opinion, Cheng Qianfan’s restraint stems from the fact that he still values his friendship with you and doesn’t want to truly antagonize us,” Cao Yu said after a moment’s thought.
"Perhaps," Li Cuiqun shook her head and said.
Even now, with his immense power and influence in the Yangtze River Delta region, Cheng Qianfan, his junior, is still quite a headache.
Regarding his relationship with the Japanese, he has the Mei Agency and Haruki Yoshitaka behind him. However, Cheng Qianfan is a shrewd and calculating person, skilled at manipulating interests, and maintains good relations with the Japanese in various aspects.
Araki Harima, the action leader of the Shanghai Special Higher Police, was on good terms with Cheng Qianfan.
Cheng Qianfan had somehow managed to establish a connection with Kawada Atsuto, the noble young master of the military police. According to his subordinates' reports, Cheng Qianfan had been drinking with Kawada Atsuto on several occasions, and when they were in high spirits, they would even dance Japanese dances together with geishas, arm in arm, as if they were close friends.
Even within Japan's diplomatic corps, at the Consulate General of Japan in Shanghai, the Consul General's secretary, Ryono Sakamoto, became friends with Cheng Qianfan. It's also said that the Consul General's counselor, Heitaro Imamura, greatly admired Cheng Qianfan, and that Cheng Qianfan even addressed Imamura as "teacher." Whether these rumors are true or not is unknown, but the fact that Imamura's office did not issue a denial speaks volumes.
Meanwhile, in Nanjing, Foreign Minister Chu Mingyu treated Cheng Qianfan like a nephew, and even Mr. Wang had praised Cheng Qianfan highly and presented him with an inscription.
It's fair to say that if he were to fall out with Cheng Qianfan, unless he had irrefutable evidence to bring Cheng Qianfan down and make it impossible for him to recover, it would be impossible for the two of them to win if they didn't resort to underhanded tactics and were just competing based on their backgrounds. Even if he won, it wouldn't be an easy victory.
……
"What about this matter?" Cao Yu asked cautiously.
“I will have Zhang Lu take men to the Special Police Department and put pressure on them,” Li Cuiqun said.
“Zhang Lu’s attitude will be worse.” As he spoke, he glanced at Cao Yu. “You stay on the side and speak according to the situation, but don’t lose your temper.”
"Understood, sir," Cao Yu nodded and said.
Putting pressure on the Special Police Department and Cheng Qianfan is necessary; otherwise, what will become of the reputation of No. 76?
However, they can't really fall out, so he needs to act as a mediator.
“One requirement, one bottom line.” Li Cuiqun held up one finger and said, “Section Chief Dong and his troops must be released safely.”
“That’s probably difficult,” Cao Yu said. “At the very least, it’s hard to do immediately.”
He carefully observed Li Cuiqun's expression and said, "Cheng Qianfan is still angry. Whether it's the Japanese or Nanjing, they will allow him to vent his anger."
"Difficult? Then what are you guys for?" Li Cuiqun suddenly snapped, glaring at Cao Yu.
"Your subordinate knows his mistake," Cao Yu quickly said. "Your subordinate will do his best to handle it well."
Li Cuiqun waved her hand.
Cao Yu wisely withdrew.
……
Li Cuiqun leaned back in his chair and let out a heavy groan.
The matter itself wasn't a big deal, but it made him feel incredibly frustrated.
If it were anyone else who dared to be so arrogant, he would have ordered them to be chopped up and thrown into the Huangpu River to feed the fish. But he just happened to run into Cheng Qianfan, this troublesome guy.
……
The heavy curtains blocked out the sounds of the wind and rain outside, and also blocked out the night light in the study.
There were already more than a dozen cigarette butts in the ashtray.
There are two wine glasses on the desk.
Cheng Qianfan picked up his wine glass and clinked it against another glass. "Xiao Zhe, your spirit is not far away. I toast you, brother."
Tears could no longer be held back, spilling from her reddened eyes and dripping down her cheeks.
"Xiao Zhe," he murmured softly.
Cheng Qianfan pounded his chest, his heart aching as if it were being cut by a knife, like being slowly cut by a dull saw!
When my parents were still alive, a family moved to Fude Lane, just two streets away from Yande Lane. This family, surnamed Su, had a son named Su Zhe.
Although the Su family only lived in Fude Lane for two months before moving away, their friendship and private contact remained strong. This friend, who always had a stubborn neck and refused to call him Brother Fan even after being beaten, was a true brother to him, though outsiders didn't know it.
“Xiao Zhe,” Cheng Qianfan took a sip of his drink, then suddenly smiled, tears welling in his eyes, “we’re comrades.”
He thought to himself, if Xiao Zhe had known before his sacrifice that the two of them were comrades, comrades who volunteered to fight for the freedom and liberation of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation, and even comrades who would not hesitate to dedicate their lives, and Bolshevik comrades-in-arms, Xiao Zhe would have been happy.
He picked up Su Zhe's wine glass and clinked it against his own.
Then he poured the wine from the glass onto the ground.
Then he drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.
After finishing all this, Comrade 'Flame' wiped away his tears and began tidying up his desk to avoid any potential problems caused by the slightest trace.
For him, even commemorating his fallen comrades was a luxury.
……
After the rain, the sky clears up.
No. 22 Xuehuali Road.
"Brother Fan, Zhang Lu from number 76 is here," Haozai greeted Cheng Qianfan.
"How many people came?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
“Zhang Lu brought seven or eight men with him,” Haozai said. “Cao Yu came along too.”
"Where is he?" he asked.
"I've been arranged to stay in the meeting room," Haozai said.
As he spoke, he looked around and asked in a low voice, "Brother Fan, Dong Zhengguo is in our hands now, do you want him?"
"Keep him locked up for now and see how things go," Cheng Qianfan said calmly. "Putting everything else aside, this guy did do a good job by killing Su Zhe, a member of the Red Party."
"Understood." Haozai glanced at Fan Ge and quickly said.
……
"Has Hattori Shinji arrived yet?" Cheng Qianfan asked Li Hao beside him.
"Not yet." Li Hao shook his head.
Cheng Qianfan frowned.
Such a big thing happened, yet Hattori Shinji didn't react at all, which was a bit unusual. He was already thinking about how to deal with Hattori Shinji's possible reactions, but he didn't expect Hattori Shinji to be so calm.
"Where is Deputy Director Ma?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Deputy Director Ma called. He caught a cold yesterday after being caught in the rain, so he won't be coming to Xuehuali Road today," Haozai said.
"Tsk tsk." Cheng Qianfan clicked his tongue.
Neither Hattori Shinji nor Ma Junyao are easy opponents.
They seem to be planning to wait and see how he and Number 76 fight it out, intending to remain inactive.
"Please bring Zhang Lu and Cao Yu to my office in ten minutes," Cheng Qianfan said.
"clear."
……
West Shanghai.
Military Police Unit.
"Major." Hattori Shinji looked at Yokoyama Akima, "In this conflict between Cheng Qianfan and Number 76, he even killed two people from Number 76."
His expression was slightly anxious as he said, "This is a good opportunity for us to take over the SWAT team."
"What do you plan to do?" Yokoyama Akima glanced at Hattori Shinji and asked calmly.
“Naturally, we’ll be the referees, sitting back and watching the game,” Hattori Shinji said confidently. “Whether it’s the 76th Division or the Special Police, we won’t take sides. Ideally, their conflict will escalate so we can take the opportunity to expand our influence.”
He was somewhat anxious, as he had been eager to go to Xue Huali Road to "take charge of the overall situation" for a long time, but was summoned to the office by Major Yokoyama Akima and remained there.
……
“That’s a good plan,” Yokoyama Akima said with a smile.
However, he shook his head inwardly at Hattori Shinji.
This subordinate is far too stupid.
As he spoke, he glanced at Hideto Oda, who was frowning in thought, and said, "Oda, tell me your opinion on this matter."
"Don't get involved yet, let's sit back and watch the show," said Hideto Oda.
He said to Yokoyama Akima, "Hattori-kun is right about one thing: the fiercer their fighting, the more advantageous it is for us."
"Anything else?" Yokoyama Akima nodded slightly and asked.
“I disagree with Hattori-kun’s statement about not taking sides,” said Hideto Oda. “Our initial non-intervention does not mean we are not biased. Without intervention, there is naturally no concept of bias. This is a concept that must be established.”
“Go on,” Yokoyama Akima said with a smile.
“We will intervene when the time is right,” Hideto Oda said.
"What attitude should we take when we intervene?" Akima Yokoyama asked.
"We will not hesitate to side with the Special Police Department," Hidetoshi Oda said decisively.
“Not bad.” Akima Yokoyama said with a smile, “Oda, you are now very insightful and astute in your thinking. I am very satisfied.”
……
"Why?" Hattori Shinji could naturally see that Major Yokoyama agreed with Oda Hideto's analysis and judgment, but he just didn't understand.
Akima Yokoyama nodded to Hideto Oda, signaling him to explain to Shinji Hattori.
“Not intervening at the beginning, like drawing the bow but not releasing it, is the most deterrent,” said Hideto Oda.
"As for the claim of favoritism towards the Special Police Department," he said, looking at Hattori Shinji, "Hattori-kun, you're an advisor to the Special Police Department."
Hattori Shinji was taken aback at first, then fell into thought. After a moment of realization, he bowed to Oda Hidetoshi and said, "Hattori, I have learned something."
……
“Oda.” Yokoyama Akima was in a good mood and found Oda Hideto more and more pleasing to the eye. “I saw you frowning and thinking just now. It seems you have come up with something. Tell me about it.”
"Hai." Oda Hideto didn't immediately launch into a long speech, but instead pondered for about a minute before beginning his analysis.
“This is an unexpected event,” Hideto Oda said to Akima Yokoyama.
“Indeed, this conflict was unexpected.” Akima Yokoyama nodded.
……
"Upon learning of this, I immediately reviewed the relevant files and interviewed some of Cheng Qianfan's and Seventy-Six's subordinates to gain as much in-depth understanding and information as possible," he told Yokoyama Akima.
Akima Yokoyama nodded slightly.
“Everyone knows about the past conflict between Cheng Qianfan and Dong Zhengguo, as well as the process and details of yesterday’s incident, so I won’t go into details,” said Oda Hideto. “I have a question.”
"What's your doubt?" Hattori Shinji asked, looking at Oda Hideto.
"Su Zhe infiltrated Cheng Qianfan's office; he had a gun," Oda Hideto asked. "Why wasn't he able to successfully assassinate Cheng Qianfan with a sudden shot?"
“I’ve thought about this issue as well,” Hattori Shinji said. He had naturally noticed this detail as well. “Cheng Qianfan is very protective of his life. Perhaps he was alert to Su Zhe’s infiltration and did not give Su Zhe the opportunity to assassinate him. For example, Su Zhe was injured and had a bloody smell. Cheng Qianfan was on guard the moment he entered the room.”
……
“Of course, there is another possibility: Su Zhe was shot, which greatly affected his ability to move. Being able to sneak into Cheng Qianfan’s office had exhausted his strength, which directly caused him to lose the opportunity to successfully assassinate him,” Hattori Shinji said.
“That’s a fairly reasonable explanation,” Hideto Oda said. “However, there’s one detail that I’ve thought about carefully, and I still can’t seem to find a reasonable explanation for it.”
"Which detail?" Akima Yokoyama asked immediately.
"Someone from the SWAT team knocked on the door to report to Cheng Qianfan that Unit 76 had broken in, and there was an interesting detail at the time," said Oda Hideto. "Cheng Qianfan angrily yelled at his subordinate to 'Get out!'"
With a smile, he looked at Hattori Shinji and said, "Hattori-kun, do you know what's interesting about this detail?"
