My years of espionage

Chapter 1115 Expecting the enemy to take the lead
When Su Zhikang entered the salon, Cheng Qianfan had already seen it through the refraction of the goblet in his hand.

He found an interesting detail, brother Zhikang saw him, but he didn't act unusually, and he didn't walk towards him; then this brother Zhikang seemed to see Sakamoto next to him Liang Ye, Su Zhikang showed joy at seeing 'Brother Cheng', and came to say hello to him.

Now, Su Zhikang's enthusiastic attitude towards Sakamoto Ryono made Cheng Qianfan confirm one thing, his goal is Sakamoto Ryono.

As for Su Zhikang's identity, several years ago when the two met in the police station, Cheng Qianfan had many speculations:
Party Affairs Investigation Office?
Lixingshe Secret Service?

Or even the Red Party?
Red International?

Cheng Qianfan felt that each of them resembled each other, but he couldn't be sure.

The only thing that is certain is that this Zhikang brother is definitely not an ordinary person.

So now, Su Zhikang has his eye on Ryono Sakamoto, what is his intention?
Cheng Qianfan decided to wait and see what happened.

……

Cheng Qianfan was secretly observing Su Zhikang.

Someone was secretly observing him and Su Zhikang.

In a rather secluded corner of the salon.

"Cheng Qianfan, the deputy chief inspector of the Central Police Department of the French Concession." Hojo Hidetoshi clinked glasses with the man beside him, and said in a low voice, "This person has a lot of energy in the French Concession, and most importantly, Cheng Qianfan is quite friendly to the empire. "

Sitting on the right side of Hojo, Takahashi Takumaru, who has been relatively silent, glanced at his companion. He was surprised that Hojo had concealed from Tsubasa Hanekawa that Cheng Qianfan was actually an imperial agent Kentaro Miyazaki pretending to be the real situation.

Takahashi Takumaru's surprise was only fleeting, and he listened to the conversation of the two with his usual calm and thoughtful attitude.

"I know this Mr. Cheng." Tsubasa Yukawa nodded, "I heard that Counselor Imamura has a relatively friendly attitude towards this person?"

"It's all about Aiwu Jiwu." Hojo smiled faintly, "Hanekawa-kun, you have also seen that Cheng Qianfan and Sakamoto Ryono are very good friends."

Tsubasa Hanakawa thought for a while and nodded. Sakamoto Nagayuki is a close friend of Imamura Heutaro. It is said that Imamura Heutaro regards Sakamoto Ryono as his nephew. This Imamura counselor treats Sakamoto Ryono’s friends differently than other Chinese people. understandable.

"So, Cheng Qianfan should be fine?" He looked at the three people who were chatting cordially, with scrutiny in his eyes, and said thoughtfully.

"I have a colleague who insists that all Chinese people cannot be trusted," Hidetoshi Hojo said.

"There is an old saying in China, 'People who are not of my race must have different hearts', which makes sense." Tsubasa Hanakawa nodded, "I am very interested in the person Hojo-kun mentioned, when will you introduce me?"

"His name is Kazuo Miyazaki. Your work will overlap, and you will know each other in the future." Hojo Hidetoshi said with a serious expression.

Takahashi Takumaru took a sip of his drink. As an experienced agent, he has adept facial expression management skills.

"Hane Chuan-kun, you have followed Su Zhikang for many days, but you have not been able to find any suspicious actions by this person?" Hojo Hidetoshi said.

Takumaru Takahashi is the person in charge of the Iwai Mansion in Ningbo.

Previously, Takahashi Takumaru's headquarters captured intelligence and jointly cracked the Central Command Ningbo Station with the Ningbo Gendarmerie Command. The station manager of Ningbo fled, and his deputy station chief confessed an important clue. The guests met.

After investigation and screening, Su Zhikang, who returned from Shanghai to his hometown in Ningbo to handle housework, came into the sight of Takahashi Takumaru.

"No." Yu Chuan Yiren shook his head, "There is nothing unusual about Su Zhikang."

He said to Hojo Hidetoshi and Takahashi Takumaru, "The only thing worthy of attention is that the information we inquired showed that Su Zhiyasu had already booked a boat ticket back to Shanghai, but it was postponed for two days because of physical discomfort."

Hojo Hidetoshi's expression moved slightly, "Could it be that the two days that Su Zhikang delayed leaving Ningbo were the time for Cong Yunfei to meet that person?"

"Exactly." Tsubasa Yuto said.

It is precisely because of this "suspicious point" that may not be regarded as a suspicious point, Yu Chuan Yiren never let go of his attention and investigation of Su Zhikang.

"Su Zhiyasu went away." Hidetoshi Hojo said to Tsubasa Yukawa.

As he said that, he made a concealed gesture with his right hand, and immediately two Iwai mansion agents dressed as guests followed.

……

"What a passionate person." Sakamoto Ryono said.

"Su Zhikang is a person with a wide range of contacts." Cheng Qianfan said, "He is very energetic in the French Concession, especially in the Mailan District."

He put down the wine glass, took out the cigarette clip, took out a cigarette, Shi Shiran lit it, took a puff and said, "Su Zhikang's energy is not even because he is the deputy chief inspector of the Mailan police station."

"Because he has many friends." He said to Sakamoto Ryono, "Whether it's inside the police station in the French Concession, or the Shanghai Municipal Government in China, the Green Gang, the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce, and even the water bandits on Taihu Lake, he has friends. "

"What is this person's attitude towards the Empire?" Sakamoto Ryono asked.

"It's not too close, but it's not repulsive." Cheng Qianfan said after a little thought.

As he said that, Cheng Qianfan's eyes showed a hint of surprise, "Sakamoto-kun, who is that person next to Hojo-kun?"

He caught a glimpse of Hojo Hidetoshi looking towards him from a corner, and the eyes of the two crossed in the air.

Therefore, Cheng Qianfan simply nodded to Hidetoshi Hojo generously, and immediately asked Ryono Sakamoto about the strange face beside Hidetoshi Hojo.

"It's not Gao Qiao." Cheng Qianfan added, "I've seen Gao Qiao."

Naito Xiaoyi has been missing for a while, Imamura Heutaro selected Takahashi Takumaru from the consulate general to temporarily replace Naito Xiaoyi.

Cheng Qianfan once met Takahashi Takumaru, who was taciturn and calm in his work.

"Tsubaki Hanakawa." Ryono Sakamoto glanced at him and said in a low voice, "He came to Shanghai from Ningbo on business."

Cheng Qianfan immediately understood what Sakamoto Ryono meant by "official business":

Tsubasa Hanekawa is from the Iwai Mansion.

This is why he is happy to chat with Sakamoto Yoshino. Sakamoto Yoshino has no sense of secrecy. To be precise, Sakamoto Yoshino does not have too much sense of secrecy towards him, and because of Sakamoto Yoshino's special status in Imamura's family However, Sakamoto Yoshino has mastered a lot of things that are 'not intelligence is better than intelligence'.

Yu Chuan Yiren came to Shanghai from Ningbo for business?

Su Zhikang also just returned to Shanghai from his hometown in Ningbo to handle housework?

Now, Tsubasa Hanekawa appeared in this salon club accompanied by Hidetoshi Hojo and Takumaru Takahashi.

Moreover, just now, Hojo and others seem to be secretly paying attention to his side...

Cheng Qianfan vaguely had a guess:
Hidetoshi Hojo, to be precise, should be Tsubasa Hanakawa, who came for Su Zhikang, and most likely came all the way from Ningbo.

This made Cheng Qianfan more interested in Su Zhikang's identity and why Su Zhikang approached Sakamoto Ryono.

……

"Vice President Cheng." Hidetoshi Hojo came over to greet Cheng Qianfan.

He secretly winked at Miyazaki Kentaro.

"Mr. Hojo." Cheng Qianfan's heart moved, he smiled and shook hands with Hojo Hidetoshi, "We haven't seen each other for a while."

"Busy business." Hidetoshi Hojo said, "Vice President Cheng, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Yoshiki Fukada from Ningbo."

As he spoke, Hojo Hidetoshi lowered his voice and said to Miyazaki Kentaro, "Fukada-kun is an officer of the Marine Corps."

"So it's Mr. Fukada." Cheng Qianfan shook hands with Kiki Fukada enthusiastically.

His heart was full of curiosity. His curiosity was not because Hidetoshi Hojo concealed Tsubasa Hanekawa's identity from his 'colleague'. After all, this was a public occasion of the salon club, so it was right to be careful.

What he was curious about was Hidetoshi Hojo's attitude towards him.

He met Hidetoshi Hojo when he visited Imamura Mansion for the first time and was invited to attend the birthday party of Imamura Heutaro.

It was also at that time that he met four followers of Imamura Heutaro:
Kobasa Naito was the assistant of Heutaro Imamura at the time.

Hidetoshi Hojo, Third Class Military Attaché, Military Attache Division, Consulate General of Japan in Shanghai.

Junji Ono, Captain of the Imperial Marine Corps.

Kazuo Saito, Second Secretary of the Consulate General of Japan in Shanghai.

Now, Naito Xiaoyi is unfortunately missing and has not been heard from.

Ono Junji has the best relationship with him, and now he is not in Shanghai when he is deployed with the army.

Kazuo Saito is low-key and rarely attends parties.

The relationship between Hidetoshi Hojo and him has always been relatively ordinary. This is not to say that there is any disagreement between the two of them-Hojo just has a cold personality.

Now, Hojo Hidetoshi took the initiative to show affection, which surprised Cheng Qianfan.

However, 'Miyazaki Kentaro' is such a shrewd and clever person, he ignored the others, accepted Hojo's closeness resolutely, and chatted with Hojo Hidetoshi enthusiastically.

At the same time, Cheng Qianfan did not neglect 'Hideki Fukada'.

"Fukada-kun is from the Marine Corps. I don't know if I know Ono-kun?"

"Ono?" Tsubasa Hanekawa looked thoughtful.

"Ono Junji, the Second Special Marine Corps of the Empire's Third Fleet." Cheng Qianfan said, "Ono-kun is my good friend."

"Sorry, I've been stationed in Shengsi before." Tsubato Yukawa said.

He was very curious and surprised. According to what Cheng Qianfan said, Junji Ono was an officer of the Imperial Marine Corps.

Cheng Qianfan was not only appreciated by Counselor Imamura, but also seemed to have a close relationship with Hidetoshi Hojo, and was also a good friend with Ryono Sakamoto, and even an imperial officer like Junji Ono.

How did this Chinese do it?
This is not something that can be done simply because of 'being close to the empire'.

Tsubasa Hanekawa couldn't help but become interested in the Deputy Chief Inspector of the Central Police Department of the French Concession.

……

The Salon Club is on the near left of the lobby on the third floor.

The island-style terrace on the fourth floor is also full of toasts.

A middle-aged man held a cigarette in his hand, and was watching the downstairs salon club with great interest.

"Brother Lu, do you know Cheng Qianfan?" A man with a cigar in his mouth came up, grabbed the cigar in his hand, and asked.

Lu Xinmin shook his head, "I've heard of this person, but I haven't dealt with him before."

He said to the man, "Why is Brother District here?"

"I guess it's impossible for you to know this kind of little red guy, but why do you keep staring at him?" Ou Wenxia didn't answer and asked instead, as if he was quite interested in why Lu Xinmin stared at Cheng Qianfan.

"Because I remembered someone..." Lu Xinmin said with a smile, "I don't know Cheng Qianfan, but I did know Cheng Wenzao and his father."

He pointed to the downstairs, "The portrait of Cheng Qianfan and his father."

"You mean Cheng Wenzao who was slaughtered by Marshal Sun?"

"It's him! Brother Qu also knows Cheng Wenzao?"

"I don't know him, I just know there is such a person." Ou Wenxia sneered, "That person is also stupid, honestly hiding in Shanghai, waiting for the Northern Expeditionary Army to enter Shanghai, he has to jump up and down, hurting the family with a big belly The mother-in-law eats the gun together."

Lu Xinmin chuckled and said nothing.

Ou Wenxia squinted his eyes. He squinted at Lu Xinmin as if his eyes had only one line. He sneered in his heart:

Now everyone has defected to the Japanese and works for the Japanese. You, Lu Xinmin, still use your qualifications in the National Party to pretend to be a fool!

Lu Xinmin saw Ou Wenxia's expression in his eyes, and snorted coldly in his heart:
Uncouth!

If it wasn't for the Japanese calling in, Ou Wenxia, ​​a bum like Ou Wenxia, ​​would have been able to kill such a person with just one phone call.

The eyes of the two met, and they both smiled heartily, looking at Cheng Qianfan who was chatting with his friend on the third floor.

At this time, someone hurriedly came to Lu Xinmin's side and whispered a report.

Lu Xinmin's face suddenly changed.

……

Seeing the three of Hojo Hidetoshi leaving, Cheng Qianfan's eyes flickered.

Seeing what Sakamoto Ryono was about to say, Cheng Qianfan stopped him with his eyes, and then pulled Sakamoto Ryono aside, "As I expected, Hojo-kun brought that Fukada-kun here because he has a mission."

With a chuckle, he bit the surname 'Fukada' harder, and told his friend Sakamoto, "Sakamoto-kun remembers the true identity of Fukada, don't mention it to anyone again."

As he spoke, he showed seriousness, "It's best not to mention that you told me to others."

"I understand." Sakamoto Yoshino nodded. Although he is only a sponsor of the Consulate General, because he is not a professional agent, he does not have a strong sense of confidentiality, but it does not mean that he is a fool. This reminder from a friend is also for his own good, so that he does not suffer from Casually causing trouble.

Cheng Qianfan showed a gentle smile, "I'm just being cautious, maybe it's actually not that serious, and I don't need to be so careful."

"As you always say, there is nothing wrong with being careful," Sakamoto Ryono said.

The two friends looked at each other and smiled.

……

At this moment, Cheng Qianfan caught a glimpse of Saito Kazuo entering the salon hall and heading straight for this side.

He noticed that Kazuo Saito was walking in a hurry, his heart moved slightly, and he had a vague guess.

Cheng Qianfan immediately raised his wrist to look at the time calmly, and muttered in a low voice, "It's so late, why is the teacher not coming?"

"Miyazaki-kun has something very important to see Uncle Imamura?" Sakamoto Ryono asked with concern.

"En." Cheng Qianfan nodded with a serious expression, but didn't say much.

"Sakamoto-kun." Saito Kazuo's voice came from behind, "The counselor has something to do and can't come here. He asked me to pick you up and return to the mansion."

"But what's going on with Uncle Imamura?" Sakamoto Ryono asked.

"The general is temporarily unable to make the trip, and Mr. Counselor is accompanying you." Saito Kazuo said in a low voice, he nodded towards Miyazaki Kentaro, and said to Sakamoto Ryono, "Let's go, Sakamoto-kun."

"Saito-kun, I'm sorry." Sakamoto Yoshino thanked politely, and he looked at Miyazaki Kentaro, "Miyazaki-kun, come with me."
