Chapter 273 Assistance from friend Araki (two-in-one chapter)
"Don't participate in the case of Professor Taniguchi's murder," said Hitotaro Imamura.
"Hayi." Cheng Qianfan said respectfully without any hesitation.
"Aren't you curious about the reason?" Hitotaro Imamura asked, looking at Kentaro Miyazaki.
"If the teacher thinks he can tell the students, he will naturally tell me." Cheng Qianfan smiled, "If it involves confidentiality, the student will make the teacher embarrassed when asked."
Looking at Kentaro Miyazaki, who was respectful and extremely considerate to him, Imamura Hitotaro was satisfied. He sighed and shook his head and said, "There is no secret."
He asked Kentaro Miyazaki, "There is a conflict between you and Koyu Naito?"
"It shouldn't be there." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, but his expression was a little bitter.
"Hmm?" Imamura Hitaro frowned slightly.
"You are a teacher who knows the students' character. Students have always treated their friends sincerely. Although the students and Naito Jun are not close, they do not feel that they have offended Naito Jun." Cheng Qianfan showed a hesitant expression.
"Say whatever you have," Imamura Hitaro said in a deep voice.
"The student didn't feel any problem with Naito Jun before, but..." Cheng Qianfan smiled bitterly and continued, "When I went to see off Teacher Taniguchi today, Araki Jun from the Special High School class told me something."
Then he told the story of Naito Koyi mentioned by Araki and he reported it to him, suspecting that he had something wrong with him.
"So that's it." Hitotaro Imamura nodded, "Your Consul General called, and Naito reported some questions about you to him. After careful consideration, the Consul General asked you to temporarily leave the investigation team of Professor Taniguchi's assassination case."
...
"Teacher, the students really don't understand why Naito Jun had such a deep misunderstanding of me." Cheng Qianfan's expression was sad.
"It should be a vent of anger," said Hitotaro Imamura. "There is one thing you may not know. Naito Koi is Nagato's nephew."
Cheng Qianfan was silent. After a while, he frowned and said, "The teacher means that Mr. Changyou was assassinated with me. He complained that I did not protect Mr. Changyou?"
"Maybe." Hitotaro Imamura patted Kentaro Miyazaki on the shoulder, "Nito's parents died early, and it was Nagatoko who brought him up. He had a very deep relationship with Nagatoko, so..."
He pondered and thought, "I hope you can understand, and don't blame Naito too much."
"Teacher." Cheng Qianfan had helplessness and a little resentment in his expression. "I felt very sad in my heart when Teacher Changyou's death. However, objectively speaking, the murderer should have been to Teacher Changyou, and the student was also shot and injured..."
Imamura Hitotaro nodded. He understood what Kentaro Miyazaki didn't say. Kentaro meant that he was injured because he was actually implicated by the assassination of Nagato's Cunna, rather than involving Nagato's Cunna.
"Tell me the truth about something. Before the day of the assassination, did you know that Nagato-kun came to Shanghai?" Imamura Hitotaro looked serious and asked as he looked at Kentaro Miyazaki.
Cheng Qianfan looked confused, "Teacher, I don't understand..."
...
"Nito has been secretly investigating Nagato-jun's murder. He found a case that happened before Nagato-jun's murder." Imamura Hito-taro said, "Do you have an impression of the kidnapped Sun Zhijie, the daughter of Tao Xu's daughter, Sun Zhijie, is the kidnapped?"
"Taojiaxiang, Tao Xu family, Tao Cuifang." Cheng Qianfan thought, "I have some impression that Tao Cuifang's fiancé Sun Zhijie was kidnapped, and this person was no longer aware of it."
As he said that, he looked at Hitotaro Imamura in confusion, "Teacher, what does this kidnapping have to do with Naito Kwan?"
"Nito found out that Sun Zhijie accompanied his girlfriend Tao Cuifang to have had double eyelid surgery at Nagatojun." Hitotaro Imamura said, "He thought you knew about Nagatojun's coming to Shanghai before Nagatojun was assassinated."
"I don't understand what Naito Jun's logic is about my doubts." Cheng Qianfan looked angry, "Sun Zhijie's kidnapping did happen before Mr. Changyou was assassinated, but what does this mean?"
He paced with an irritable expression, "Teacher, I really can't understand, nor can I accept Naito's suspicion and misunderstanding of me."
"Tell me about the kidnapping of Sun Zhijie." Imamura Hitaro said.
"After Sun Zhijie was kidnapped, we investigated and suspected that his kidnap was related to the Jiang Mule Bandits." Cheng Qianfan explained, "The police station visited the police station and received information. The Jiang Mule Bandits targeted the kidnap between patients undergoing double eyelid surgery in the clinic and hospital."
"Why are these people targeting?" asked Hitotaro Imamura.
"The Jiang Mule Bandits are rampant, and some wealthy people in the French Concession are in danger. Most of them have added bodyguards, which has caused trouble for the Jiang Mule Bandits' kidnapping. So they set their sights on ordinary citizens like Tao Cuifang, who have some assets in their families but have no protection power."
"So that's it." Imamura Hitaro nodded.
...
"At the beginning, the police station didn't know that Sun Zhijie was accompanying Tao Cuifang to perform double eyelid surgery with the police hospital chief You. Because there was an attempted kidnapping case before, this person had double eyelid surgery at Renkang Hospital, so my subordinates initially thought that Tao Cuifang also had double eyelid surgery at Renkang Hospital."
After pausing, Cheng Qianfan said, "In fact, if there had been no gunfight when Sun Zhijie was kidnapped and Liang Yuchun's troops were insufficient, my third tour would not have participated in the case of Sun Zhijie's kidnap."
He looked at Hitotaro Imamura, "Teacher, you should still remember that I have reported to you before that Liang Yuchun, a person who has competed with me for the position of Deputy Chief of the Central Police Station, has not had a good relationship with me."
Cheng Qianfan's expression was gloomy, "A few days after my men investigated the kidnapping of Sun Zhijie, I met Mr. Changyou for the first time in the Special High School Class, and then we were assassinated together that day."
He was a little irritated, "My subordinates once went to the police hospital to find Dr. Mao Kexin, who was the disguised identity of Mr. Changyou. I didn't know this at the time."
Seeing that Kentaro Miyazaki was a little incoherent because of his anger, Imamura Hitotaro said in a deep voice, "Kentaro, I don't doubt you, don't be emotional."
"Yes!" Cheng Qianfan's expression looked a little better when he heard this. He continued, "I didn't go there in person for this matter. It was my subordinate who went to the police hospital. It was just that Dr. Mao Kexin had something to do and stopped the treatment. My subordinate Lu Hu did not see Dr. Mao Kexin."
"Teacher, Lu Hu is a secret spy developed by the empire. He can prove to me that I have no idea about Dr. Mao Kexin's situation, nor have I seen it."
As he said that, he said angrily, "If Naito Kwan still suspected that I knew about Nagato's news in Shanghai before this, I had nothing to say."
He looked at Hitotaro Imamura, "I don't understand what Naito Kwan suspects me, let alone I didn't know that Nagato was in Shanghai before, nor did I know that Dr. Mao Kexin was Nagato."
He said angrily, "Even if I know that Teacher Changyou comes to Shanghai, I will only be very happy to meet the teacher again many years later. Why should I secretly harm the teacher?"
As he said that, he muttered angrily again, "It's unreasonable."
...
"I understand." Imamura Hitaro nodded slightly, "I will report this to the Consul General and explain it to you."
After hearing Kentaro Miyazaki's explanation, he still chose to believe Kentaro. As Kentaro Miyazaki said, before the day Nagato was assassinated, Kentaro had never seen Nagato's Cunny at all, and he didn't know that he came to Shanghai secretly.
What's more, Kentaro Miyazaki had no reason to harm Nagato's funeral.
According to him, Kentaro Miyazaki and Nagato's first were not familiar with each other, but they had a relationship between teachers and students for a short time.
"The teacher is trustworthy, and the students are grateful." Cheng Qianfan said excitedly, and then he showed a trace of solemn thinking.
"What's wrong?" asked Hitaro Imamura.
Cheng Qianfan showed a little embarrassed, "In order to capture the Jiang Muzi bandit gang, his subordinates once captured several suspects in a dance hall."
He smiled embarrassedly, "Later, after careful verification in the police station, these people had nothing to do with the Jiang Mule Gang. The bail report was sent to my desk and I signed and agreed."
Imamura Hitaro glanced at Kentaro Miyazaki. He had guessed that his money-loving student should have gone to the dance hall to get people in the name of arresting the Jiang Mule bandit gang, threatening and intimidating, and then blackmailed bail.
"Later, two months after the assassination of Mr. Changyou, some of them were also kidnapped and disappeared," said Cheng Qianfan.
"And later, I learned from the third-tier section that the missing person was a lurking agent of the Imperial West Village class." He looked embarrassed as he said.
"I have an impression. I remember you reported this to me at that time." Hitotaro Imamura nodded, and he glanced at Kentaro Miyazaki, "However, you only talked about Nishimura at that time, and did not mention that this person had been arrested by your subordinates."
Cheng Qianfan did not make any excuses. He scratched his head, and the embarrassment on his face became more and more intense.
Hitaro Imamura snorted, he understood the reason:
He is a decent person, and Kentaro knows that he doesn't like this kind of rude behavior of extorting bail. In view of this, Kentaro naturally did not dare to mention this matter to him.
...
"As for the assassination of Professor Hiroyuki Taniguchi, I personally believe that it can rule out the suspicion of Miyazaki Kan."
"First of all, the motivation is that Miyazaki Kan had no motivation to kill Professor Hiroyuki Taniguchi."
"As far as I know, Miyazaki Jun respects Professor Taniguchi very much. Of course, perhaps because the professor is strict with him, it makes it difficult for Miyazaki Jun to get close to the professor."
As he said that, Araki Hatsuma thought for a while and chose a more accurate word, "It is the kind of respect that students have for the strict teacher, and there is a hint of alienation."
"Miyazaki Kwan went to the morgue of the hospital and saw Professor Taniguchi. I could feel the sadness and pain in his heart." Araki Hatsuma said to Mitoshiro, "Miyazaki Kwan said, 'Only when you really lose it, you know how to cherish it'."
As he said that, he sighed, "This sentence should be the most realistic psychological portrayal of Miyazaki's current."
Mizuno nodded slightly. Apart from having no motivation, the most important thing is that Kentaro Miyazaki didn't know the news that Kitani Taniguchi secretly arrived in Shanghai. In fact, even the head of the Shanghai Special High School Section did not know in advance that Kitani Taniguchi led two members of the "Pen Army" to Shanghai from Hong Kong.
Kentaro Miyazaki has no motivation and no knowledge at all. He can basically eliminate the suspicion first.
Araki Hatsuma judged that this was Naito Kouyu took his anger at Miyazaki Kentaro because of Nagato's death, which made some sense.
...
At this moment, the phone ringing on the desk rang.
Sanbenjilang's expression was serious. This phone call would usually only be called by an important person of the same status as him, the military headquarters, the General Staff Headquarters and other commanders.
He stood up and picked up the phone with a serious expression.
"I am Sanbenjiro."
"Imamura kun? I haven't had a rest yet?"
"Hahaha, Imamura kun is also staying up late to work, yes, the pace of empire conquest is moving forward. For the great cause of the empire, we all should forget to eat and sleep..."
"Okay, I understand this."
"The light of Showa shines on the world, Imamura kun rests early."
After hanging up the phone, Mibenro looked at Araki Hatsuma, and showed a thoughtful look, saying, "Counselor Imamura of the Consulate General called. The Consulate General believes that Kentaro Miyazaki is not suitable for continuing to participate in the investigation of the assassination of Kitani Kitagawa."
"What?" Araki Hatsuma was extremely surprised, "Is it possible that Miyazaki Kan really has a problem?"
"It shouldn't be." Mitoshiro shook his head and said, "Miyazaki is now next to Imamura Kwan."
Araki Hatsuma suddenly realized, and he nodded. Imamura Hitotaro was able to call this in front of Miyazaki Kentaro and directly pointed out this point to Miyazaki. This naturally shows that Miyazaki Kwan has no problem, and Imamura trusts Miyazaki.
This is also the way Imamura Hitaro uses this attitude to convey his trust in Miyazaki Kwan, so as not to cause misunderstandings and misjudgments here.
"Is it possible that it is an internal problem in the Consulate General?" asked Araki Hiroma, "Is it possible that Naito Koi did something behind his back?"
"There is such a possibility." Sanbenjilang nodded and said.
Kentaro Miyazaki is in Imamura at this moment, and he should be reporting the situation to Imamura.
Mitoshiro was not dissatisfied with this, because Miyazaki was close to Imamura Hitaro himself, and at this moment, he captured a detail from Imamura's phone call:
Miyazaki came to him first and then went to Imamura Hitaro's place, and he was very pleased with this.
"Although my subordinates don't have much contact with Naito, Naito gives me the feeling that he has obsession. In Chinese terms, he just doesn't hit the wall and doesn't look back." Araki Hatsuma glanced at Sandunshiro and said at the right time.
"idiot."
Sanbenshi Lang shook his head and snorted coldly.
The nerd of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a stupid fool, a narrow-minded person who is not aware of right and wrong.
...
At this moment, the phone ringing rang again.
This is another phone call.
Araki Hatsuma took the initiative to go forward and picked up the microphone, "I am Araki Hatsuma."
"Okay, I understand." Araki Hatsuma frowned slightly, and he hung up the phone and looked at Sanbenjiro, "Secretary, it was the call from Wang Kangnian."
"What's the matter?" asked Sanbenji Lang.
"Cao Binsheng, deputy detective of the plainclothes Hua, the police station in Fuxi District, was killed." Araki Bomo said, "Cao Binsheng himself and two subordinates, three of them were shot in the street at the entrance of the Shuanglongfang Apartment on Father Jin Road."
"Who did it happen?" San Benlang's expression was gloomy. Cao Binsheng was a 'talent' who developed into the empire in his hands, and a tentacle that extended to Fuxi District by the Special High School.
Now that Cao Binsheng is killed, Sanben Lang is naturally furious.
"There are black and white words on the scene, which describes the fate of the 'traitor'." Araki Hatsuma said, "It seems like the way the Chongqing Military Control Commission is doing."
...
"Thank you, teacher." Cheng Qianfan bowed to Imamura Hitotaro. When he raised his head, his eyes were filled with emotion.
Imura Hitaro personally called Mibenjiro and told him directly that he was right next to him. This was equivalent to Imura Hitaro personally endorsing him, so that he would not be affected by being "exited" from the investigation team.
"The teacher is caring for you, students..." As he said that, he wiped the corners of his eyes, "Teacher, fortunately, you are Kentaro's only relative now."
Imamura Hitaro felt very comforted and patted his student on the shoulder, "I always treat you as half a child, so I will naturally protect you."
Kentaro Miyazaki became more and more moved.
The phone ringing suddenly rang, disturbing the sincere and rich moving picture of the teachers and students.
"What?"
"Okay, I get it."
After hanging up the phone, Hitotaro Imamura turned his head and looked at Kentaro Miyazaki, with a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Then he stood up and sorted out his clothes, and said seriously, "Kentaro, I have something to tell you."
Cheng Qianfan also quickly sorted out his clothes and stood respectfully, "Teacher, you said."
"Professor Hiroyuki Taniguchi is a famous scholar in the empire and enjoys a high reputation both at home and abroad. He was deeply shocked and angry at the consulate, military department, and cabinet chiefs who were assassinated by evil people in Shanghai and unfortunately died. "
Imamura Hitaro said in a deep voice, "The Consulate General will set up a mourning hall for Professor Hiroyuki Taniguchi and invite people from all walks of life to come and pay their respects. Important people from the Empire, including Consul General Iwai Hideichi and the Army Provincial Military Affairs Section Chief Kagesa, will come to see him off."
