Chapter 372 The whole article is filled with the word 'fear of death'
Cheng Qianfan did not directly answer Li Hao’s question.
Haozi didn't care about anything. He just asked questions when he had doubts in his heart. If Brother Fan thought he could answer, he would tell him. It was normal not to answer.
The car had stopped at the door of Cheng's house. In the past, Li Hao would have chosen to honk the horn. However, after having Sesame at home, Hao Zi subconsciously paid attention not to disturb his little nephew's sleep easily.
He flashed the light twice in succession.
Immediately, vigilant guards with guns and ammunition came out to check. After seeing the car clearly, they opened the door.
"Haozi, for a person who cherishes his life, what is the most terrifying thing?" Cheng Qianfan suddenly asked Li Hao before getting out of the car.
"My life is in danger." Haozi thought for a while and said.
"That's right." Cheng Qianfan smiled and patted Haozi on the shoulder, "But, to be more precise, it's the unknown danger."
Haozi watched Brother Fan get out of the car and heard Brother Fan ordering the guards at home to step up vigilance. The searchlight at the entrance of the courtyard also turned on, illuminating the situation outside the door. A light machine gun was also set up, and there were bodyguards near the door.
After a search to make sure there was nothing suspicious, the door was closed tightly.
He seemed to understand a little bit what Brother Fan meant.
Xiaobao hugged the cat and came out to welcome his brother back. When he saw Li Hao, Xiaobao happily grabbed the cat's paw and said hello to his brother Haozi.
A bright smile immediately broke out on Li Hao's face. He got out of the car with the pastries, raised the pastry box high, and said like a treasure, "Xiaobao, look!"
Then there was the little girl's surprised cheers.
Even the cat's meow seems to be a little more joyful.
…
Sanbenjiro and Bei Dao exchanged wine and made comments about Wang Chuanhai.
"He is a politician with a weak character and hesitation." Sanbonjiro expressed his own comments on Wang Qianhai.
"He is a very contradictory person." Bei Dao nodded.
Then both of them burst out laughing.
Being able to comment arbitrarily on the number two figure in the Chinese government, the leader of the puppet government that the empire is about to support, is a topic that makes people feel happy both physically and mentally.
In fact, Japan has been focusing on research on Wang Reclamation.
Wang Chunhai, who was about to cooperate with the 'Empire of Japan', made a shocking decision at the age of twenty-seven - to assassinate the supreme ruler of the Qing Empire, Prince Regent Zaifeng.
It is said that this person had previously targeted Duan Fang, but later felt that assassinating the regent would be a greater blow to the empire.
After the assassination attempt failed, Wang Canhai and others were taken into custody by the Qing government in Beisuo.
Beisuo was the place where political prisoners were detained by the Qing government. They were given food and drink and received relatively preferential treatment.
It is said that five of the six men tossed and turned at night. Only Wang Chuanhai was drunk and snoring, and appeared to be fine. Even the jailer secretly praised him and said he was a good man.
What finally made this man famous all over the world was Wang Chuanhai's desperate poem in prison.
On September 16, 1911, Wang Chuhai was finally released after a year and a half in prison.
The day Wang Chuanhai walked out of prison, passers-by rushed to see him and the roads were blocked.
At 5 pm on the second day after Wang Chuanhai was released from prison, Yuan Beiyang, as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, met with Wang Chuanhai at the Prime Minister's Office.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Yuan Beiyang hosted a banquet in honor of Wang Quanhai.
During the banquet, Wang Chuanhai and Mr. Yuan became brothers with different surnames.
As a result, Wang Reclamation has become a bridge between the north and the south.
Whether it is Beiyang or the revolutionary party in the south, if they want to exchange what they have, they have to go through Wang Reclamation.
The most surprising thing is that at that time, Wang Chuanhai unabashedly praised Yuan Beiyang, saying: "Xiangcheng has great ambitions in the world, and everything is in its place. The head of state has no one to take charge of."
He even took the lead in shouting the slogan "It must be Yuan".
In Wang Chuanhai's eyes at this time, Yuan Shikai was the best candidate to resolve the confrontation between the north and the south.
So much so that the "Min Li Bao" run by the revolutionary party criticized him: Even if Wang Kehai has been advocating revolution for many years, he is a learned member of the party... but he feels the favor of the imperial court for not killing him and speaks for him.
Huh?
Although Wang Chuhai received much attention since then and became an important member of the Kuomintang, his political status within the Kuomintang was even higher than that of Chang Kaishen.
However, the meticulous Japanese people have discovered the clues long ago.
The Japanese focused on studying Wang Chuanhai's behavioral changes during this period, and were once puzzled by his huge personality changes in a short period of time.
From Kang's decision to die to looking forward and backward, Wang Chuanhai was a completely different person before and after he was released from prison. As if overnight, Wang Chuanhai seemed to have changed into a different person.
Bei Dao is an expert in Japan's study of Wang's reclamation, which is also an important reason why this person can participate in the connection between the empire and the Wang family.
Bei Dao has his own opinion on this change in Wang Reclamation——
Wang reclamation quickly completed the transformation from a revolutionary youth to a politician.
"However, this person lacks an important quality as a good politician." Bei Dao chuckled, "Strong will."
He clinked glasses with Sanbonjiro, "This is exactly why the empire chose this person."
"In Chinese terms, this is called dying to save face and suffering life or death." Sanbonjiro said teasingly.
…
Wang Chuanhai refused to take the Beiguang Maru to save his face. Finally, he boarded a small freighter at sea and was so frightened that he asked the Japanese for help, and climbed aboard the Beiguang Maru in embarrassment.
This matter has become a laughing stock among senior Japanese officials and insiders. In other words, this is one of the reasons why middle-level Japanese officials like Jiro Sanmoto despise the No. 2 leader of the government so much.
Some people even use humiliating words like "self-deceiving and cowardly Wang" to describe Wang Chuhai.
timid?
Afraid of death?
kindness?!
Sanbonjiro's heart moved, and he seemed to have thought of something.
"Is there something wrong, Mr. Sanben?" Bei Dao couldn't help but ask when he saw this.
"It is true that I just thought of something very important." Sanbonjiro stood up and said, "I'll excuse you for a moment."
Sanbonjiro returned to his office. He picked up the confession of "Qiao Zui" and looked at the waxed paper of Kentaro Miyazaki. Then he suddenly discovered that all the words on this paper were gathered into In one sentence:
fear death!
It can be said that the word "fear of death" is everywhere in the article!
He finally understood.
Miyazaki, a guy who is afraid of death, said that he was not suitable for attending the special high school, but in fact he was frightened by yesterday's assassination.
In other words, Miyazaki Kentaro suspected that the assassination was not carried out by the Central Government, and this speculation also showed that the assassination was confusing.
For Kentaro Miyazaki, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, this unknown danger is obviously what scares him the most.
Furthermore, for Kentaro Miyazaki, where does he think is the safest place?
One is the French Concession, to be precise, the central area of the French Concession, which is the territory of "Mr. Xiao Cheng".
One is the Special High School, which refers to the location of the Special High School, not the way to the Special High School from the French Concession.
From Sanbonjiro's professional perspective, there were at least two or three ambush points for him to choose from along the route from the central area of the French Concession to Hongkou District.
Sanbonjiro glanced at the wind and rain outside the window.
Such a windy and rainy night is a natural cover for an ambush and assassination.
"Bag duck down!" Mimotojiro cursed angrily. He had been thinking hard before, guessing the reason why the guy Miyazaki said he was not suitable for the extra-high school course, but he never thought that the real reason was that this guy was greedy for life and afraid of death!
Sanbonjiro thought for a moment, then picked up the phone and said, "Koike, come here."
Soon, Xiaochi knocked on the door.
"Go and check, when did Miyazaki come home today? Is there any unusual behavior?" Sanbonjiro said in a deep voice.
"Section Chief, do you suspect that there is something wrong with Miyazaki-kun?" Koike asked in surprise.
Sanbonjiro did not answer his subordinate's question, but instead asked, "What was Miyazaki's expression and tone when he said it was not a good time to come to the special high school class today? Or was there any special situation at that time?"
"It's too dark, so I can't see the expression clearly." Xiaochi thought for a while and said, "The tone... I didn't hear anything strange."
Then he thought of something, "Miyazaki-kun's men are facing a formidable enemy, and there is even a light machine gun on the passenger seat."
Sanbonjiro waved his hand and motioned for Koike to do something, while he himself snorted with lingering anger.
This stupid guy is timid and afraid of death, but he doesn't dare to say it directly!
…
The next morning, Koike reported to Sanbonjiro about the "investigation status" of Kentaro Miyazaki after yesterday's meeting.
After estimating the time and distance, Xiaochi concluded that 'Cheng Qianfan' would return directly to the Cheng Mansion after meeting him.
"The searchlights of the Cheng Mansion were turned on, and a bodyguard came out in the rain to conduct a careful inspection near the door of the house."
"Late at night, some people still heard the sound of guards patrolling inside the Cheng Mansion."
"The wolf dog in Cheng Mansion barked several times at night."
"Cowardly guy." Sanbonjiro cursed.
He was extremely sure now.
At this moment, the phone on the desk rang. Sanbonjiro picked up the phone and frowned when he heard the report on the other end of the phone.
The call was from Hiroyuki Kikube.
Kikube Hiroyuki requested people from the French Concession and asked the French Concession to hand over the "Japanese haters from Chongqing", "First Officer" and "Qiuzi" to the Shanghai Special High School, but this matter ran into trouble.
The trouble does not come from the French Concession.
The French Concession did not directly respond to whether it would agree to the extradition request from the Super High School, but instead informed Hiroyuki Kikube:
The Shanghai Municipal Government has also submitted a request to the French Concession for the extradition of the two suspects.
Hiroyuki Kikube was very surprised. He did not expect that the Shanghai Municipal Government would also submit a request to the patrol room for the extradition of "Chief Mate and Qiao Zui".
Then, Hiroyuki Kikube was furious. The Shanghai Municipal Government was a puppet government supported by the empire, and it dared to compete with the special higher education courses for people!
Is this a rebellion?
Kikube Hiroo called over the official sent by Su Wenxi, the Secretary-General of the Shanghai Municipal Government, who was just a few big-eared scrapers.
After driving away the people from the Shanghai Municipal Government, Hiroyuki Kikube arrogantly reached out to the French Concession to ask for people.
The Liaison Office of the French Concession Patrol Office had no choice but to ask for instructions from the top.
Hiroyuki Kikube was not worried about this. He believed that Kentaro Miyazaki would handle these procedural matters secretly.
However, before he could hand over the prisoner to the police station, he saw someone from the Military Police Headquarters.
This phone call from Hiroyuki Kikube to Sanbonjiro was to report this unexpected situation:
The Shanghai Municipal Government asked the patrol room for "chief mate" and "Qiao Zui", but this was actually under the instructions of the Military Police Headquarters.
Zuo Zuo, the commander of the Military Police Headquarters, Umezu Sumima, personally came to 'rob people'.
When Sanbonjiro learned of this situation, he was very surprised and puzzled.
The Gendarmerie Headquarters intervened in this matter and snatched the 'First Officer' and 'Qiao Zui'. There are two puzzling aspects in this:
First, how did the Military Police Headquarters learn of the existence of the ‘First Officer’ and ‘Qiao Zui’?
Secondly, why did the Military Police Headquarters intervene in this matter?
The first question, Mimotojiro's first thought was that the commander of the military police, General Junzaburo Ikeuchi, knew about the assassination of Kentaro Miyazaki. Could it be because Commander Ikeuchi continued to pay attention to the matter and then learned that the patrol room had arrested "Qiuzi"
And then he confessed the 'first mate'?
Sanbonjiro shook his head.
Neither 'Kentaro Miyazaki' nor the Cheng Qianfan he pretended to be was enough to attract this kind of attention from Junzaburo Ikeuchi.
unless--
Unless there is something about Miyazaki Kentaro that is enough to attract the attention of the Imperial Military Police Commander!
The second question is, if there is really something about Miyazaki that attracts the attention of Commander Ikeuchi, then it is understandable that the Military Police Headquarters would intervene in the matter.
Sanbonjiro frowned.
This incident was originally just a "little incident" involving the assassination of "Cheng Qianfan", but now it seems that there is another hidden story.
The Military Police Headquarters discovered that there is something wrong with Kentaro Miyazaki?
Immediately, he made an immediate decision:
In this case, the Military Police Headquarters cannot be allowed to succeed.
"We must not let 'Qi Zui' and 'First Officer' fall into the hands of the Military Police Headquarters!" Sanbonjiro ordered to Kikube Hiroyuki.
No matter what the purpose of the Gendarmerie Headquarters is, we cannot let the Gendarmerie Headquarters take away ‘Tiaozui’ and ‘First Officer’.
Kentaro Miyazaki is a member of the Special High School, and regardless of whether Miyazaki himself has a problem, the initiative in this matter must be in the hands of the Special High School.
'Next time we meet, Sanbon-kun must talk to me about this matter.'
Thinking of Ikeuchi Junzaburo's words at that time and Ikeuchi Junzaburo's smile, Mimotojiro's face darkened.
Did Ikeuchi mean something by what he said?
Are you going for Kentaro Miyazaki?
Or are you here for him, Sanbonjiro?
Junzaburo Ikeuchi is a notoriously greedy guy!
…
No. 22, Xue Huali Road.
Central District Patrol Room, Office of the Deputy Chief Inspector.
"Military Police Headquarters?" Cheng Qianfan asked with a look of surprise in his hand, holding the microphone.
"Yes, Vice President Cheng, he was Section Chief Qiu of the Shanghai Municipal Government at first. However, Section Chief Qiu was beaten away by people from the Special Higher Education Course, and then people from the Military Police Headquarters came."
"You also requested the extradition of those two people?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Yes, the Military Police Headquarters is even more prepared. They have also sent an ambulance to go directly to the police hospital to pick up people."
Cheng Qianfan thought deeply and asked, "Who will lead the team from the Special Higher Education Course and the Military Police Headquarters?"
There was the sound of flipping paper on the other end of the phone, and then the answer was, "The person registered in the Special Higher Education Department is Kikube Hiroo, without specifying his position and military rank. The person registered at the Military Police Headquarters is Umezu Uzagami, a young leftist."
