Chapter 284
Try to avoid these people as much as possible, and try to find out the residence and situation of Deputy Chief Tang.

After Chu Lingyun made up his mind, he immediately opened the toolbox and put on makeup for himself.

This time he took it very seriously. After more than an hour, a handsome young man appeared in the mirror. I have to say that Hosokawa Zhitaka looks better than Chu Lingyun.

Young, handsome lad.

Hosokawa Tomotaka likes to wear suits, especially white suits. Chu Lingyun doesn't have such clothes. After putting on his makeup, he didn't rush to the Japanese Concession, but went to a clothing store.

White suits were not difficult to buy, and he got what he wanted in the International Settlement.

"Go to the Japanese Concession."

After hailing a rickshaw, Chu Lingyun went straight there. To enter the Japanese Concession, identification is required. These things have long been sunk into the bottom of the river together with Hosokawa Tomotaka himself.

At this time, the Hosokawa Tomotaka that Chu Lingyun was pretending to be was actually a criminal.

Heihu is not afraid, he has a complete memory and can reissue his identity certificate at any time.

"The boss is here, forty cents." The rickshaw arrived at the place, a little distance from the stuck point.

The coachman looked at Chu Lingyun carefully, the distance was not short, and the price was not low.

Many Japanese like to bully others. This is not as good as the Western devils. Although the Western devils also have cheapskates, they at least pay for their rides. The Japanese often ride for nothing.

You can't chase after him. After they enter the Japanese Concession, if you dare to break in, the people there will dare to beat you to death.

Therefore, once the coachman received a job in the Japanese Concession, he would usually stop farther away, but even so, there were still some Japanese who refused to pay, and if they chased after them, they might be beaten by the other party.

In the eyes of the coachman, these Japanese devils are the most hateful.

"keep the change."

Chu Lingyun gave him fifty cents, but didn't ask for change. The driver thanked him and pulled the car away quickly.

Chu Lingyun looked forward, and the card point not far away was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Strange because this is his first time in Shanghai and the Japanese Concession, familiar because there is such a place in his memory.

Reading memory is like watching a movie, without having experienced it yourself.

Chu Lingyun strode over, his white suit was particularly conspicuous, and the stuck sentry couldn't help but look at him.

"Master Hosokawa." A sentry rubbed his eyes and hurriedly greeted him.

"You are Sato?" Chu Lingyun looked at him, and a person from his memory appeared.

Second Lieutenant Sato Nasuke of the Japanese Concession Patrol Team, Sato Nasuke was assigned to be his guide when Hosokawa Tomotaka first came to the Japanese Concession.

"I didn't expect you to remember me." Nasuke Sato was very excited.

He is a commoner, and the Japanese hierarchy still exists at this time, and he feels very honored that a nobleman can remember his name.

Chu Lingyun nodded, ignored him, and strode into the Japanese Concession.

Before, he thought about explaining the situation at the card point, and then went to apply for a new identity certificate, but he didn't expect that someone who knew Tomotaka Hosokawa was on duty here, so this step was omitted.

With the appearance of Hosokawa Tomotaka, Chu Lingyun successfully entered the Japanese Concession, watching Chu Lingyun go away, Sato Nasuke was still smirking.

"Second Lieutenant Sato, who is he?"

A soldier asked in a low voice, Nasuke Sato said proudly: "Master Hosokawa of the House of Nobles knows, he is the son of Lord Hosokawa."

Having said that, Nasuke Sato suddenly stared blankly.

Some time ago, his boss's boss, the captain of the patrol team, Shao Zuo Dashi, once ordered that anyone who saw Master Hosokawa should report it immediately and be rewarded.

Just now I was only focused on talking to Master Hosokawa, and forgot about this.

He ran out immediately, and immediately reported to His Excellency, Master Hosokawa, that Master Hosokawa had returned.

"Is what you said true?"

In the captain's office of the patrol team, Oishi Uemura stood up suddenly, and Nasuke Sato immediately replied: "Your Excellency, Major, it's true. I just saw Master Hosokawa come back with my own eyes."

"Did no one else see him?"

Oishi Uemura asked again, Sato Nasuke is just a small officer, currently in charge of the card points outside, he doesn't know much.

As a major and the captain of the patrol, Oishi Uemura knows much more than Sato Nasuke.

The Hosokawa family went crazy looking for this young master.

Almost all the Japanese in China have received their request for assistance, from Manchuria in the north to Guangzhou in the south, they are looking for Hosokawa Tomotaka's whereabouts.

Shio Nakano, the housekeeper of the Hosokawa family, once said that no matter who is able to help find the young master, the Hosokawa family will be grateful and help within their ability.

Those in the political circle who want to be promoted will be personally supported by Master Hosokawa, and those who want to be promoted in the military will be recommended by Master Hosokawa.

Marquis Hosokawa is a member of the House of Nobles, with a high position and authority. If he is promoted to a young officer like him, it is almost a matter of one word.

No matter who it is, they will sell this face.

"I don't know about other places, but after Master Hosokawa returned to the Japanese Concession, I was the first person to see him."

Nasuke Sato replied quickly, and Oishi Uemura walked out immediately.

"Come with me, let's go see Mr. Nakano."

This news must be reported as soon as possible, otherwise the Hosokawa family will soon know that their young master is back, and he will not be able to get any thanks from the Hosokawa family if he is preempted by others.

This is almost a bargain for nothing, and it must not be wasted.

When Nasuke Sato was reporting, Chu Lingyun came to the villa area in the Japanese Concession.

When entering this place, he encountered another stuck point.

Hosokawa Tomotaka has been here before, and the person stuck at the checkpoint has not changed. Several people know him. With this identity, he easily entered this heavily managed area.

According to his understanding of the Japanese Concession, if Deputy Chief Tang lives in the Japanese Concession, he is most likely to live here.

Many important figures in Japan live here, and the defense is the strictest.

At this time, he came to investigate with the appearance of Hosokawa Tomotaka, and he couldn't stay here for a long time, otherwise he would be bumped into by familiar people, and he would be in danger of being betrayed at any time.

Rows of Japanese-style villas all look similar.

Soon, Chu Lingyun noticed that in a house on the corner of the street, there were two cars parked at the door and soldiers guarding them.

Chu Lingyun was observing from a distance when the door of the villa suddenly opened, and a man in a Japanese military uniform came out, followed by a man in a suit.

Seeing the person coming out from behind, Chu Lingyun's eyes tightened slightly.

Deputy Chief Tang was indeed here. This time he was lucky. He found his residence when he first came in. It's a pity that he didn't bring a gun, but even if he did, he alone couldn't move.

To take the risk of assassinating a person alone is not bravery, but stupid courting death.

After achieving the goal, Chu Lingyun turned and walked outside.

The Japanese Concession was not too big, so he walked out not long after. The Japanese Concession was strictly managed when he went in, but no one asked him when he went out. He hailed a rickshaw outside and quickly disappeared into the public concession.

Nakano Sixiong was in the luxury suite of the hotel, but Oishi Uemura didn't know that when he drove over just now, a white shadow on the side of the road was the person he was going to report to.

"Mr. Nakano."

Oishi Uemura and Sato Nasuke entered the room under the leadership of the servants. Nakano Shio was making tea. After the two entered, Oishi Uemura bowed respectfully and bowed to salute, then knelt and sat opposite Nakano Shio.

Nakano Sixiong took a sip of tea, raised his head and asked, "You said you saw the young master?"

It wasn't that Nakano Sixiong was not in a hurry to find someone, he was more anxious than anyone else, but all kinds of news about seeing the young master were flying all over the sky during this period, and it was finally confirmed that they were all false.

The number of times of falsehoods was too high, and Shixiong Nakano heard such a report again. People should see him, but he didn't look excited at all.

"Yes."

Uemura did not dare to show any disrespect to Shio Nakano, and hurriedly bowed his head: "It's my subordinate. I saw Master Hosokawa Chitaka back to the concession today, not long ago."

"The young master is back?"

Nakano Sixiong's hand holding the teacup stiffened. Those who saw the young master before either said that they were in a distant place, or they only saw people before, and they didn't know where they went.

He sent someone to look for it, but there was no clue.

Many of them were people who wanted to cheat the bounty. Is the Hosokawa family's money so easy to cheat? After confirming that it was fake news, Nakano Sixiong punished many people.

But this time is different, this time I actually met someone in the concession?

With so many people in the concession, such a lie is extremely easy to expose.

"Where did you see him?"

Shio Nakano lost his calmness just now, and immediately asked, Uemura looked at Nasuke Sato beside him.

"Mr. Nakano, I am the guard at the check point in the concession. Just now, Master Hosokawa passed by our check point and returned to the concession."

"Tell me what happened just now."

Nakano Sixiong asked quickly, the clues reported before were almost all information from a long time ago, but this time it was just now, and it was extremely certain.

"Hay."

Nasuke Sato told about seeing Chu Lingyun and how Chu Lingyun still remembered his name. Nakano Sixiong's heart beat faster and his face turned slightly red.

The narration this time is extremely detailed, more than one person saw the young master, everyone on the card saw him, and the young master returned to the concession by himself, there must be other people in the concession who saw him.

No one would dare to make up such a lie unless they were fools.

The ones who came were the Major and the Second Lieutenant. If they were fools, then the Empire of Japan would be over. Even a fool could become a Major, so what fighting power would there be.

"Quick, take me there."

Nakano Sixiong got up, saw the clogs on his feet and hurriedly kicked them off, changed his shoes and went out with them.

Back at the card point, Shixiong Nakano immediately asked other people on the card point.

"gone?"

Sixiong Nakano was in a daze. According to what they said, the young master did come back, but he left soon after. No one knows where he went.

They were just sentinels and didn't dare to ask.

Oishi Uemura was also stunned. He didn't expect that this young master Hosokawa, who was so unpredictable, would leave right after he came back?
So what is this? Did he have meritorious deeds?
At this moment, he felt a little regretful. If he had known that he would go to Master Hosokawa first, at least he would send someone to follow him, so that he would not be able to find him again now.

"Apart from you, who else saw the young master?"

Shixiong Nakano's face was gloomy, and the servants around him looked unhappy, they came and left after a while, it sounded like they were playing tricks.

"Quickly tell me, who else has seen Master Hosokawa?"

Oishi Uemura asked in a hurry, he knew very well that Shixiong Nakano suspected that they were lying, and if he was misunderstood by the Hosokawa family for cheating, he, a little major, would not be able to afford it.

"Many people in the concession should have seen it."

The team members replied cautiously, Nakano Sixiong did not continue to ask, and immediately entered the concession to ask one by one.

It didn't take long for him to ask the truth.

The young master really came back. Not only a group of people saw the young master, but some people saw the young master and went to report to him, but he had already run out.

Another person who got stuck also saw the young master. According to what they said, Nakano Shixiong can be sure that the young master has indeed returned, and they did not lie.

"Thank you, Major Dashi, for your hard work this time."

Since the other party did not lie, he reported the young master's whereabouts immediately, that is, he helped the Hosokawa family, and Shio Nakano expressed his gratitude to him.

"It is an honor to serve the Hosokawa family."

Oishi Uemura replied politely, Shio Nakano was not in the mood to say anything to him, since the young master is back, he must still be in Shanghai now, and then he will find the young master as soon as possible.

God Amaterasu blesses you, as long as the young master is fine.

During this period of time, his biggest worry was that something happened to the young master. After all, China was in turmoil. If something happened to the young master, he didn't know how to explain it to the Marquis.

Chu Lingyun changed her clothes, wiped off her makeup, and returned to the hotel.

He didn't know that many Japanese outside the meeting were frantically looking for him, and he didn't know how much influence he had brought by appearing as Tomotaka Hosokawa.

I was lucky today, and I found out where Deputy Chief Tang lived in the Japanese Concession.

Chu Lingyun took out the map of the Japanese Concession, manually completed the map, and marked the residence of Deputy Chief Tang.

The Japanese Concession was heavily guarded, and it was very difficult to sneak in and assassinate, especially where Deputy Chief Tang lived, and there were many light and dark guards around.

Deputy Chief Tang was assassinated before, and the guards in his family must be strong. It would be very difficult to punish him in the Japanese Concession.

At noon, He Nian returned to the hotel first. Today he visited a big brother of the Youth Gang and a rich patriotic businessman.

Both of these two had great prestige in Shanghai, and they agreed to help make an appointment with Deputy Chief Tang, which was considered a satisfactory result for He Nian.

Whether he can fulfill his wish depends on whether Deputy Chief Tang will accept the appointment.

Zhu Qing didn't come back until evening, his face was full of exhaustion.

"How's it going?"

He Nian called Zhu Qing and Chu Lingyun to his room, and immediately asked.

"Section Chief, I found three Japanese, and one of them was willing to cooperate with us, but he said that he could not go to every place in the Japanese Concession, and he could not go to some places."

Zhu Qing finished speaking, took a sip of water, and continued: "But today I found out a situation. Many people in the Japanese Concession are looking for a person named Hosokawa Tomotaka. Whoever can find him will have a reward of [-] yen. A few Japanese ran out of the concession and are looking for someone all over the street."

Zhu Qing's words made Chu Lingyun's heart skip a beat. He just entered the Japanese Concession in the form of Hosokawa Tomotaka today. Could it be that he was discovered to be a fake so soon?
Chu Lingyun carefully recalled the actions in the Japanese Concession for a few days. In order to conceal his identity, he did not speak to a few people, and every time he spoke, he kept his voice down and did not reveal any flaws.

Those who have spoken to him don't know much about Hosokawa Tomotaka, so it is impossible to tell that he is not himself.

Apart from his voice, Chu Lingyun is very confident in appearance, and his disguise is absolutely invisible to others.

"Who is Hosokawa Tomotaka?" He Nian asked immediately.

"It is said that he is a noble young master from Japan. Their family members are eager to find him, and offered a high reward. Let me see, he is just a disobedient young master."

Zhu Qing shook his head and said, but Chu Lingyun suddenly realized that it wasn't that he showed his flaws, but that Hosokawa Zhitaka had been missing for too long, and his family was looking for him.

Let's look for them, people have long been turned into bones in the river in Wuhan, and they can't find them even if they are exhausted in Shanghai.

"noble?"

He Nian touched his chin. Japan is an imperial system, and the nobles have great power. They offer a reward to find someone who can understand.

"Yes, Section Chief. It is said that they also asked the Green Gang to help them find someone. Anyone who finds him will be thanked by the Hosokawa family."

Zhu Qing's words moved He Nian's heart, and he immediately asked, "Do you have any detailed information about this noble son?"

"No, Section Chief, you don't want to look for him too, do you?" Zhu Qing was startled.

"Why not?"

He Nian glared at him: "As long as we don't reveal our identity, after we find someone, we invite people from the Hosokawa family to come out and hold a reception or something like that. It is very likely that Deputy Chief Tang will be lured out."

He Nian is in a hurry to complete the task now, and he will first associate it with the task. Since the Hosokawa family is a Japanese aristocrat, if they hold a reception in a hotel in the public concession or the French concession, Deputy Chief Tang will probably attend.

In this way, they can obtain Deputy Chief Tang's whereabouts in advance and make corresponding arrangements, which greatly increases the possibility of the success of the operation.

As for them, they can temporarily pretend to be wealthy businessmen so that no one will know their real identities.

If the people in the military intelligence department can't even do this, they can just wipe their necks.

"Section Chief, you are still the best, I didn't expect this."

Zhu Qing said excitedly, the section chief was right, if they helped find someone, wouldn't the Hosokawa family want to express it?
It is an excellent idea to use the Hosokawa family to draw out Deputy Chief Tang.

"Section Chief, so many people are looking for it again, can we find it?" Zhu Qing was happy for a while, then worried.

They don't know that the person they want to find is far away in the sky, but right in front of them.

Chu Lingyun didn't intend to tell them the truth, he couldn't explain it, he could understand it with makeup, but how did he know what Tomotaka Hosokawa looked like?
If He Nian asked him to continue pretending to be Tomotaka Hosokawa, how could he explain that the members of the Hosokawa family would not have doubts?
And Shio Nakano, he would visit Tomotaka Hosokawa every month and was very familiar with him, Chu Lingyun was in danger of being exposed at any time in front of him.

"How do you know if you don't try? We are no worse than others when it comes to finding people. Let's mobilize the Shanghai station to find people together."

He Nian said confidently, before there is no other good way, this is always a way.

Chu Lingyun didn't try to persuade him, he knew that New Year's Eve would not be successful, or that no one in Shanghai could find Tomoko Hosokawa.

Early the next morning, He Nian mobilized everyone to go to Hosokawa Tomotaka first, and Zhu Qing was sent out by him last night to inquire about the details of Hosokawa Tomotaka.

Shio Nakano mobilized so many people, Hosokawa Tomotaka's appearance and clothes were no longer a secret, and it was easy to find out.

He Nian got the photo of Hosokawa Tomotaka through the relationship of the Green Gang.

What made Chu Lingyun speechless was that the task of finding someone fell on him.

He Nian still needs to find a way to lure Deputy Chief Tang, while Zhu Qing wants to use the Japanese to investigate the situation of Deputy Chief Tang in the Japanese Concession. The two of them have work to do at present, only Chu Lingyun is idle, so this task is naturally given to him.

Although He Nian really wants to find someone and use the Hosokawa family to complete the task, he will not put all his hopes on this matter, and he still has to do other things that should be done.

Chu Lingyun was in command in the hotel, and most of the people were sent out. He was the team leader, so he didn't need to run all over the street to find someone.

But looking for yourself, this kind of thing is really new.

Chu Lingyun knew that this was an impossible task, but the team members and the people in the Shanghai station didn't know much about it, and they were inquiring everywhere with enthusiasm.

The New Year greeting said that after finding someone, not only will there be a reward from the Japanese, but an additional [-] French currency will be rewarded.

The value of Japanese Yen is about the same as that of French currency, slightly lower than that of French currency. Basically, [-] yen can be exchanged for [-] French currency. With additional rewards, this is quite a fortune for many team members.

It's not dangerous to find someone's job, and with so much money to take, they're highly motivated.

Especially the people at the Shanghai station, they are local snakes, they are more familiar with Shanghai, and they know a lot of people, mobilizing everyone to follow and search together.

Chu Lingyun sat on the chair, sipping tea.

Hosokawa Tomotaka's memory was dug up section by section. He grew up with his mother, and his father couldn't see them a few times a year, and he left in a hurry after not staying for long.

When he was young, what he feared most was seeing his mother's disappointed expression.

Every time my father left, my mother would lie down in front of the door, and would not return to the room until my father's figure disappeared completely.

The mother's life was not good, and it had a great influence on Hosokawa Tomotaka when she was a child.

In his heart, he believed that his father had killed his mother. His mother had been a widow all year round and missed his father. She was in poor health and passed away at the age of 40.

He didn't like his father, so he left Japan immediately after his mother died of illness and traveled to China.

When he was young, Hosokawa Tomotaka was very envious of those children with fathers. If he could be as good as those children, at least his mother would be happy, and he would definitely not die so early.

Although under the care of Marquis Hosokawa, no one dared to bully him, let alone call him an illegitimate child to his face, but the inferiority complex of an illegitimate child had long been deeply buried in Tomotaka Hosokawa's heart.

In the entire Hosokawa family, the only person Hosokawa Tomotaka does not dislike is Shio Nakano.

If their orphans and widows had anything to do, Shixiong Nakano would always come forward, and Shixiong Nakano would personally send the monthly living expenses to them, and he would greet them with care. Almost all the toys he had when he was a child were sent by Shixiong Nakano.

After coming to China, Hosokawa Tomotaka only wrote letters to Shio Nakano, but never asked his father.

This also made Chu Lingyun most afraid of Nakano Sixiong. It's not like he never thought about using Hosokawa Tomotaka's identity to lure Deputy Chief Tang out.

If he appeared as Tomotaka Hosokawa, it would be very easy to do this, but once he did this, he would definitely face Shio Nakano, thinking of this, he gave up the idea.
