My Spy Years

  Chapter 1116 Nepotism

   "Sakamoto-kun." Cheng Qianfan lowered his voice and said to Sakamoto Ryono, "Thank you."

Sakamoto Ryono invited him back to the Imamura mansion together. Saito Kazuo hesitated a little, after all, considering that Miyazaki Kentaro is his own, and Miyazaki's status in front of Imamura is not inferior to him, so Saito Kazuo did not stop him in the end .

   "I'm afraid you will blame me in the future." Sakamoto Yoshino said with a smile.

  Cheng Qianfan also smiled knowingly, he knew that Sakamoto Ryono was referring to the matter he had complained about before.

   "Saito-kun." Sakamoto Yoshino said to Saito Kazuo, the co-pilot, "Miyazaki-kun respects the lieutenant general very much, and regretted that he missed the opportunity to pay a visit to the lieutenant general."

   "Is that so? Miyazaki-kun?" Saito Kazuo smiled and turned to Miyazaki Kentaro.

   "The day the 101st Division of the Empire entered Nanchang, I toasted at home to congratulate it." Cheng Qianfan said, "At that time, I thought that if I had the opportunity to offer a glass of wine to the famous generals of the Empire in the future, I would have no regrets in this life."

   "Hahaha." Saito Kazuo was very happy, "Maybe Miyazaki-kun's wish will be fulfilled soon."

   "Really?" Cheng Qianfan showed a happy and excited expression. He looked at Kazuo Saito's slightly smug smile, and his expression changed, "Saito...Saito-kun."

  There was expectation in his eyes, and he said in an uncertain tone, "Your Excellency Lieutenant General and Saito-kun..."

   "Uncle, if he knows that Miyazaki-kun is a respected imperial figure, he will be very happy." Kazuo Saito said with a slight smile.

   "So, it turns out—" Cheng Qianfan was surprised, pleasantly surprised, then inexplicably excited, and finally all these emotions turned into an excited sigh, "I should have thought that Saito-kun is so outstanding, he must be a famous general."

   "Miyazaki-kun is overrated." Saito Kazuo said with a smile. He didn't have much contact with Miyazaki Kentaro before, and now he finally understands why many people like to make friends with Miyazaki.

   Miyazaki is really nice to speak.

  …

  Cheng Qianfan chatted enthusiastically with Kazuo Saito.

  Before, I saw that Kazuo Saito came to look for Ryono Sakamoto, and told Hyotaro Imamura that he could not come to the salon because of something, and that Yataro Saito could not leave Shanghai due to a temporary business.

  Cheng Qianfan immediately confirmed one point:

  Saito Kazuo must have followed Imamura Hyoutaro to see Saito Yataro off.

   Then he thought about why Hyotaro Imamura chose Kazuo Saito to accompany a Japanese lieutenant general.

  He knows Heutaro Imamura very well. Imamura is a person who seems to be very easy-going towards juniors in private, but in fact is very particular about respect and etiquette in public.

  Hintaro Imamura would definitely not take someone casually to see Yataro Saito off.

   Kazuo Saito?

  Saito Yataro?

  Cheng Qianfan had secretly speculated before, could Kazuo Saito be the nephew of Yataro Saito?

  Because Heitaro Imamura has the habit of using the younger generation of family friends among his close subordinates.

  Ryono Sakamoto is the youngest son of Nagayuki Sakamoto, a famous Japanese scholar.

   Another example is Hidetoshi Hojo. Cheng Qianfan learned from Shun Er Ono many years ago that Hidetoshi Hojo’s uncle, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, is the commander of the 24th Field Artillery Regiment of the Second Field Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Japanese Kwantung Army.

  In the first half of this year, Yoshinobu Yamamoto was promoted to the rank of major general and transferred to the head of weapons of the Japanese Kwantung Army Command.

  The battle between the Japanese Kwantung Army and Soviet Russia took place in Nomonkan. Yoshinobu Yamamoto, as the head of weapons of the Kwantung Army Command, was responsible for raising and transporting combat equipment and supplies for the Japanese army fighting on the "Nomonkan" front.

  Therefore, after a little thought, Cheng Qianfan was inclined to say that Kazuo Saito had the background of Saito Yataro, the elder of the Japanese army lieutenant general.

  Therefore, Cheng Qianfan sincerely expressed his admiration for Yataro Saito.

  This not only made Yoshino Sakamoto take the initiative to invite him back to the Imamura mansion, but also made Kazuo Saito have a better impression of him afterwards.

  …

   "I see." Cheng Qianfan looked stunned.

  Now that his background has been 'exposed', Saito Kazuo no longer hides anything, and took the initiative to chat about himself.

  It turned out that the reason why he came to work at the Consulate General was indeed because his uncle Saito Yataro had a good personal relationship with Counselor Imamura:

  Working in the diplomatic service, especially in Shanghai, the most prosperous city in the Far East, is definitely one of the most suitable jobs for a son with a background like Ryono Sakamoto and Kazuo Saito.

   When it comes to the friendship between Imamura Heitaro and Saito Yataro, it also comes from the circle of the Kwantung Army.

  In fact, Heutaro Imamura has always had a strong background in the Kwantung Army, mainly because of his elder brother Jun Imamura.

  Yataro Saito graduated from the 19th Infantry Division of the Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy.

In addition, Junichiro Ikeuchi, the commander of the Japanese military police stationed in Shanghai, also had a background in the Kwantung Army. Cheng Qianfan had asked Heutaro Imamura to send two cigarette clips made of pure gold with commemorative inscriptions on the "Wickow Lake Incident" to Ikeuchi. , quite happy in the pool.

   It can be said that many of Imamura Heutaro's subordinates have nepotism.

Cheng Qianfan is long-sleeved and good at dancing. Every word he said scratched Saito Kazuo's itching. the better.

  …

Hongkou District.

  Extra high school.

   "How likely do you think the radio station is at Cen Xu's home?" Hiroo Kikube asked Nohara with a sullen face.

  Nohara was just released from the police station an hour ago.

  After seeing Hiroo Kikube, the first thing Nohara said was to suggest that Hiroo Kikube arrest the tenant Cen Xu at No. 62, Ma Si Nan Road.

"Technically speaking, the radio signal disappeared when we arrived at No. 62, Masinan Road." Nohara thought, "Although the possibility that the radio station is located in other nearby places cannot be ruled out, my intuition tells me that Cen Xu is extremely suspicious."

   Hiroo Kikube frowned.

  Nohara's answer did not satisfy him.

   Moreover, Hiroo Kikube is quite familiar with Nohara.

   This is a technical expert, and he is indeed very capable. However, under his humble and gentle appearance, Nohara is actually a rather eccentric character, to be exact, a guy with a strong vindictiveness and a cruel personality.

  Nohara strongly demanded that Cen Xu be arrested.

  Perhaps from a professional point of view, Nohara is indeed very suspicious of Cen Xu.

  However, there is another very important point, Cen Xu has witnessed the embarrassment of him being beaten by the police, and Nohara has nothing to do with the people in the police room for the time being, so let's take this Cen Xu first.

Jingle Bell.

  The internal phone on Hiroo Kikube's desk rang.

  He picked up the phone, and soon, Hiroo Kikube had a sullen expression on his face. He put down the receiver of the phone and said to Nohara, "Cen Xu insists that he is innocent."

   "Can I meet this person together?" Nohara asked immediately.

  Hiroo Kikube nodded, agreeing to Nohara's request.

  …

  Nohara met Cen Xu, who had witnessed his ugly appearance during the day, in the torture room.

  At this time, Cen Xu was already torn apart, and large chunks of blood-red flesh could be seen.

  The whole body exudes the smell of blood and burnt skin.

   His head was drooping, his whole body was weak, and he was in a semi-comatose state.

  Hearing someone approaching and talking, Cen Xu didn't raise his head, his eyes were closed, and he didn't even lift his eyelids.

  His heart is happy.

   He was happy that a month ago, the organization arranged for a group of comrades to go to Yanzhou, and his wife was among them.

   Now, my wife and son are living, studying and progressing safely in the place where the revolutionary torches are burning.

  …

   "Cen Xu." Hiroo Kikube picked up a red-hot soldering iron and approached Cen Xu, "We have found the radio station in your home."

   "That's a commercial radio station." Cen Xu opened his eyes and said weakly, "I have already said that I work for Marin & Co., and we want to maintain smooth commercial communication with Germany."

   "Do you think this kind of lie can be fooled?" Hiroo Kikube shook his head, he grabbed Cen Xu's head, and then almost pressed the hot iron against Cen Xu's scalp, burning his hair up.

A ladle of salt water was poured down, dousing the burning hair, and at the same time, the salt water seeped into the broken wound, causing Cen Xu to scream in pain, twisting his body, because the twisting of his body, the tied rope rubbed against his scalded body violently, making the pain even worse .

   "We only need to investigate this matter to confirm whether you are sending a report to Germany and to confirm that you are lying." Hiroo Kikube said coldly.

   "It's impossible to contact the German side." Nohara, who had been silent at the side, just leaned over to study the wound on Cen Xu's body with great interest, suddenly said.

   "That's the truth, you can go and investigate." Cen Xu endured the pain and gritted his teeth.

   "Time difference." Nohara smiled slightly, "When you sent the telegram, it was still dark in Germany."

  Hearing what Nohara said, Cen Xu's face changed, he knew that the biggest loophole in his words was caught by the other party.

   "It was because of an emergency that I was in a hurry to contact there." Cen Xuqiang said in self-defense.

   "No, no, no." Nohara shook his head, "Europa and I will often exchange telegrams. We will pay more attention to the time difference and choose a time that is acceptable to both parties."

   Hiroo Kikube glanced at Nohara. He was surprised that Nohara could think of jet lag, because Hiroo Kikube didn't even notice it.

  Of course, the time difference is not a completely sufficient reason for suspicion. As Cen Xu said, you can contact the other party at any time if there is an emergency.

  However, there are more and more doubts about a person, which in itself is enough to explain many problems.

   There is no need for evidence to arrest and interrogate people in special high-level courses.

  …

   "Mr. Cen, do you think your sophistry is useful?" Hiroo Kikube sneered, "Also, Mr. Cen, you made a mistake about one thing."

   Cen Xu looked at Hiroo Kikube suspiciously.

   "Your bones are very hard." Hiroo Kikube said with a serious expression, "This kind of tenacity does not belong to an ordinary person."

  He looked at Cen Xu, "You've been shouting for innocence..."

   As he spoke, a cruel smile rose from the corner of his mouth, and he waved his hand.

  A shabby man who has been tortured by agents is dragged in.

  An agent picked up a red-hot iron and approached. The man immediately struggled subconsciously and roared, "I said, I said anything, I said, I can do whatever you want me to do."

  The soldering iron slammed down fiercely.

  The man let out a scream and passed out.

  Hiroo Kikube waved his hand, and two agents dragged the man away, leaving long bloodstains on the ground, and the smell of burning in the air became stronger.

   "Did you see it? Mr. Cen." Hiroo Kikube smiled slightly, "That man was caught by us by mistake. After interrogation, this man is indeed innocent, but—"

  His face was full of pride, "He has already admitted that he is a military commander. Of course, he also admitted that he is a Red Party. He will recruit whatever we ask him to recruit."

  He looked at Cen Xu, "Mr. Cen, do you know where your biggest weakness is now?"

  …

   Cen Xu was silent, he stared at the long dragging bloodstain on the ground and remained silent.

  When the man was dragged over just now, he had been tortured so badly that he barely recognized who he was.

   When the branding iron was being branded **** the man, the man struggled twice before passing out, and the smelly hair spread back, so he could see the man clearly.

   Gai Chaoyang Comrade!

   This person is Comrade Gai Chaoyang of our Party’s Anti-Enemy Work Department.

   Comrade Gai Chaoyang has been missing for more than a month, and the organization has searched for it to no avail.

  Some people say that Comrade Gai Chaoyang became a deserter.

  Comrade Luo Yannian refuted this argument. He firmly believed that Comrade Gai Chaoyang was loyal to the party and the people and determined to fight against Japan.

  For the sake of safety, the organization resolutely cut off all the contacts that Comrade Gai Chaoyang had and could contact.

  For more than a month, all the superiors and subordinates of Comrade Gai Chaoyang, as well as the communication lines, have not had any problems.

  In view of this, Comrade Luo Yannian firmly believed in Comrade Gai Chaoyang's loyalty to the party and the people.

  The organization is still secretly looking for the whereabouts of Comrade Gai Chaoyang.

  It turned out that Comrade Gai Chaoyang had already fallen into the hands of the Japanese. Looking at the tragic situation of Comrade Gai Chaoyang, Cen Xu could imagine how Comrade Gai Chaoyang had come over for more than a month.

What makes him even more admirable is that his tenacity may become a flaw in his body, and while Comrade Gai Chaoyang was tortured by the enemy, he managed not to expose it, but made the enemy mistakenly think that he was caught by mistake of ordinary citizens.

Although Comrade Gai Chaoyang was probably still brutally killed by the enemy, as an agent of the secret front, after withstood the enemy's torture, he was killed by the enemy as an ordinary person, and was treated as a member of the Red Party by the enemy. Identity killing, this is a completely different concept!

  The latter is the heroic and unyielding cry of a member of the Red Party, and the former is the last medal of merit for an underground worker!

   It's a pity that he doesn't have enough experience in underground work, so Cen Xu shook his head.

  He knew that the enemy had already suspected and even confirmed his identity.

as expected.

   "Mr. Cen." Hiroo Kikube looked at Cen Xu, "You are a red party, tell me, who is your upline? Who are your downlines?"

   "I don't understand what you said?" Cen Xu shook his head slowly.

"Then, let me put it another way." Hiroo Kikube lit a cigarette, his eyes seemed gentle but ruthless, and he said slowly, "This morning, the man who left your residence, who is he? What is his name?" name, where do you live?"

   Cen Xu didn't speak, he closed his eyes.

   Hiroo Kikube smiled, he was sure that this person was the Red Party, a Red Party with a firm will, but actually lacked experience in torture and lurking.

   "Continue to torture." Hiroo Kikube said lightly.

bring it on.

  'I am in Xu country, I have nothing to worry about', Cen Xu looked at Hiroo Kikube with a smile on his face.
