My years of espionage

Chapter 1470 This is slander!

Cheng Qianfan had already guessed why Araki Harima sent Kakinuma Yoshio to Nishijirai Train Station.

When he led people into Shuichi Yamazaki's house, it was certain that Yoshio Kakinuma was already at Nishi Tramway Street.

All Kakinuma Yoshio had to do was wait for him to leave, then enter Yamazaki Shuichi's house and kill Yamazaki Shuichi.

As for what was the purpose of Araki Harima's move?
Cheng Qianfan thought about it and there were only two possibilities.

First, Araki Harima ordered Kakinuma Yoshio to kill Yamazaki Shuichi in order to frame him.

Even if Kentaro Miyazaki tried his best to argue that he did not kill Shuichi Yamazaki, given that he had already killed Naito Kotsubasa and Kikube Hiroo, I'm afraid that Miyazaki Benjiro would also suspect that he was the one who killed Shuichi Yamazaki.

Then--

The first is to find something against him to threaten and control him.

After all, whether it was getting rid of Naito Kotsubasa or sending gunmen to kill Kikube Hiroo, it was all tacitly approved by Mitsumoto Jiro.

But it is different for Yamazaki Shuichi. This is a case of him attacking his own people without authorization, which can indeed be used as a handle by Araki Harima to blackmail him.

However, Cheng Qianfan believes that this possibility is low.

Given his relationship with Araki Harima, they are good friends who combine interests and friendship, so Araki does not need to do this.

In addition, the root of this matter does not lie with Araki Harima, but with how Mitsumoto Jiro would view this matter.

Therefore, Cheng Qianfan is more inclined to another possibility:
Through this incident, Araki Harima further widened the misunderstanding, or rather the rift, between him and Mimoto Jiro.

So why did Araki Harima do this?
Araki Harima's dissatisfaction with Mimoto Jiro has reached a certain extent.

He is looking for allies.

Given Miyazaki Kentaro's consistent respect and loyalty to Mitsumoto Jiro, Araki Harima was unsure whether his good friend would stand on his side if the conflict between him and Mitsumoto Jiro further escalated.

And now, with the death of Shuichi Yamazaki, Mitsumoto's dissatisfaction and suspicion towards Kentaro Miyazaki will be even deeper. In this case, Kentaro Miyazaki will not only be a good friend of Araki Harima, but will also be an absolute ally who is further bound together, and even stand on his side unconditionally.

interesting.

Cheng Qianfan chuckled. It seemed that Araki Harima was very dissatisfied with Mitsuki Jiro's unconditional favoritism and partiality to Chikitahara Tsukasa, and even his favoritism towards the people promoted by Chikitahara Tsukasa.

……

"Where is Laojiu?" Cheng Qianfan asked Pingliang.

"Brother Jiu asked for leave, saying that he was not feeling well and wanted to get acupuncture." Hou Pingliang said.

"Go, call Haozi to me."

"Yes!"

"Brother Fan, you looked for me." Li Hao came in, casually hung his police hat on the coat hook, and sat down on the sofa.

"Shuiichi Yamazaki is dead." Cheng Qianfan said.

Li Hao nodded, but showed a surprised expression. Of course he knew that Yamazaki Shuichi was dead. It was Taozi and Li Tongyun who did it.

"Spread the news quietly." Cheng Qianfan tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Say that I'm having an affair with Yamazaki Shuichi's mistress Iijima Asuka."

"Ah?" Haozi raised his head in shock.

"What?" Cheng Qianfan glared at Haozi, "Just say that I was having an affair with Asuka Iijima and Yamazaki Shuichi found out, and then I hired someone to kill Yamazaki Shuichi."

"Brother Fan, how can you throw dirty water on me like this, and..." Li Hao was surprised.

"And what?"

"And if this news gets out, everyone might really believe it," said Li Hao.

Given Brother Fan's reputation for being greedy and lustful, maybe some people will really believe this news, and everyone may even sigh in admiration, saying that 'Mr. Cheng' actually stole Japanese women, what a guts he has.

"Get lost!" Cheng Qianfan glared at Haozi, "Just do it quickly if I tell you to."

"Got it." Haozi chuckled, "Brother Fan, be careful of your sister-in-law when you get home."

"Would I be afraid of her?" Cheng Qianfan snorted coldly.

Haozi smiled but said nothing.

"Get out." Cheng Qianfan grabbed the cigarette box on the desk and threw it at him.

"Thank you, Brother Fan." Haozi quickly caught it and ran away.

……

"Do you think Shuichi Yamazaki's death has anything to do with Kentaro Miyazaki?" asked Mitsumoto Benjiro in a deep voice.

Araki Harima frowned, looking as if he was in deep thought and difficulty, and then Hirai Shinji spoke first.

"Kentaro Miyazaki took people to meet Shuichi Yamazaki, and soon after he left, Shuichi Yamazaki was killed." Hirai Shinji said, "Let alone other things, even from the perspective of ordinary criminal cases, Kentaro Miyazaki is a suspect."

Araki Harima frowned even more tightly, and he looked at Hirai Shinji with a bad face, "Motive, you suspect Miyazaki-kun, then, may I ask Hirai-kun, what was Miyazaki-kun's motive for killing Yamazaki Shuichi?"

"The motive needs to be investigated," said Hirai Shinji. "In any case, Kentaro Miyazaki was probably the last person Yamazaki Shuichi saw before his death. We should investigate. Even if it is finally confirmed that Kentaro Miyazaki had nothing to do with Yamazaki Shuichi's death, it can prove his innocence."

"Hirai-kun!" Araki Harima snorted coldly, "The last person Shuichi Yamazaki saw was the murderer. According to the confession of the military police, Shuichi Yamazaki was still alive when Miyazaki-kun left."

Araki Harima looked at Mitsumoto Jiro and said, "Section Chief, I think this matter has nothing to do with Miyazaki-kun. He has no motive to kill Yamazaki Shuichi."

"There is a motive." Sanji Benjiro said with a gloomy face.

Araki Harima immediately showed a look of surprise and confusion. Just as he was about to ask, he saw Sanji Benjiro waving his hand, "Okay, Hirai, I'll leave this matter to you to investigate."

"Yes!" Hirai Shinji was overjoyed and quickly agreed.

……

Araki Harima saw the joy on Hirai Shinji's face and couldn't help but scold him angrily, "Hirai Shinji, I don't understand, do you really want to be happy if Yamazaki Shuichi's death is related to our Special High Police? Last time you..."

"Shut up!" San Benjiro snorted coldly.

Araki Harima was extremely angry. Although he knew that Mitsumabuchiro scolded him to prevent him from mentioning the murder of Fushiminomiya Shunsuke again, his anger only grew after being scolded by Mitsumabuchiro.

"Why did Kakinuma Yoshio appear outside Yamazaki Shuichi's house?" Sanbenjiro asked Araki Harima with a serious expression.

"I'm not sure about the details." Araki Harima shook his head.

"As far as I know, Kakinuma Yoshio is Captain Araki's most trusted subordinate and your right-hand man," Hirai Shinji said. "Now it seems that this is not true. Is it because he is not strict with his subordinates, or is he mediocre and incompetent..."

Araki Harima glanced at Hirai Shinji coldly and was not prepared to pay any attention to him.

"What is Kakinuma Yoshio doing recently?" asked Mimotomoto.

"Yesterday, Kakinuma Yoshio reported to me about his work. He said he had found some clues about the Red Party and the New Fourth Army." Araki Harima said, "I ordered him to continue his investigation."

He looked at Mitsumoto Jiro and asked, "Section Chief, are you saying that Kakinuma Yoshio's appearance at Nishijirai Pedestrian Street is related to the clues about the New Fourth Army that he is tracking down?"

"We can't rule out this possibility." Sanjimoto nodded. "Kakinuma Yoshio's appearance at Nishijiraichi might be related to the clues he was looking for about the New Fourth Army. However, he was killed outside of Yamazaki Shuichi's door, probably just because he was unlucky."

"What the section chief means is that Kakinuma Yoshio happened to see someone doing harm to Yamazaki Shuichi at Nishi Pedestrian Street, and he was about to help him, but was killed by the villain?" Araki Harima said thoughtfully.

"So I don't rule out this possibility." Sanji Benjiro glanced at Araki Harima and said, "Go investigate Kakinuma Yoshio's case yourself."

"Hay."

"Section Chief, considering that Kakinuma Yoshio's death is directly related to Yamazaki Shuichi's murder," Hirai Shinji suddenly said, "I beg you to approve one thing."

"What's the matter?" asked Mimotomoto.

"Captain Araki, if there is any progress, please report to me immediately." Hirai Shinji said, glancing at Araki Harima while speaking.

"Report to you? What's your position? What's your rank?" Araki Harima's face turned pale and he looked at Hirai Shinji with a cold gaze.

"Don't worry, Captain Araki." Hirai Shinji said with a smile, "I am just investigating the case."

"I am investigating the murder of Kakinuma Yoshio. Do you also need to report to me immediately the clues you find?" Araki Harima snorted coldly and said.

"If Captain Araki needs it, I have no objection." Hirai Shinji smiled slightly.

"You two, get out!" Sanbenjiro said with a sullen face, "Do your own thing and do what you need to do."

"Hai!"

"Hai!"

In the corridor outside the section chief's office, Araki Harima looked at Hirai Shinji with a bad face, "Hirai, I firmly believe that Miyazaki-kun has nothing to do with this matter. If I find out that you deliberately framed Miyazaki-kun, I will never let you go."

"The clear will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid." Hirai Shinji said with a sneer.

Araki Harima snorted coldly and left angrily.

Looking at Araki Harima's back as he walked away in anger, Hirai Shinji showed a smug smile on his face.

He didn't notice that the anger on Araki Harima's face had long since disappeared as he turned away, with a smile on his lips.

……

Lu Jiufan looked around vigilantly. After confirming that there was no danger, he adjusted the brim of his hat and knocked on the gate.

"Who is it?" An old man's voice came from inside.

"It's me." Lu Jiufan said, "Open the door."

The door opened.

Lu Jiu slipped in and the old man quickly closed the door.

"Where are the people?" Lu Jiu asked.

"In the inner room." The old man pointed.

Lu Jiufan nodded and left the old man outside to keep watch.

"Old Yin, what's going on?" Lu Jiu lifted the door curtain and entered the inner room. After taking a glance, he frowned and asked, "Wasn't everything fine yesterday?"

"Oh!" Yin Zongdao laughed bitterly, "Don't mention it."

He learned from Lu Jiufan yesterday that Cheng Qianfan had a conflict with Yamazaki Shuichi, the deputy director of Inoue Mansion, so he planned to sneak over and kill Yamazaki Shuichi, put the blame on Cheng Qianfan, and at the same time worsen the trust and conflict between Cheng Qianfan and the Japanese.

However, he did not expect that before he and his men got close to Xizilai Fire Street, they were stopped and checked by Japanese military police. Fortunately, he immediately shot and killed a military policeman, and then escaped in the chaos before the enemy surrounded them.

However, his luck was not very good and he was shot in the back. Fortunately, the distance was far and the 6.5mm caliber bullet of the Type 38 rifle caused less damage, otherwise he would have died.

"Has the bullet been taken out?" Lu Jiu asked.

"I got it." Yin Zongdao nodded and said with a wry smile, "Old Hami is indeed a veterinarian. He is quite capable of removing bullets."

"This is sulfa powder." Lu Jiu took out a box of sulfa powder from his pocket and put it on the table. "Use it later to prevent infection."

"Is this sulfa powder?" Yin Zongdao picked up the sulfa powder box and put it to his nose to sniff it. "I've heard of this stuff a long time ago."

As he said this, he put down the box of sulfa powder and said with some annoyance, "Do you know what's going on over at West Pyrotechnics Street? Did that Yamazaki Shuichi report to the military police after he was beaten?"

"Yamazaki Shuichi is dead." Lu Jiufan said.

"Dead?" Yin Zongdao was greatly surprised.

"Yes, he's dead." Lu Jiu nodded, "I just heard about it half an hour ago."

"Was it Cheng Qianfan who did it?" Yin Zongdao became interested and said with a smile, "This 'Little Boss Cheng' is quite sinister."

"Probably not." Lu Jiu shook his head. "I know Cheng Qianfan. Unless he is absolutely sure that he can kill Yamazaki Shuichi without causing the Japanese to turn against him, he will not do anything to Yamazaki Shuichi."

"Who was that?" Yin Zongdao frowned and cursed, "Who did it? Killing the Japanese is a good thing, but it almost killed me."

"Let's not talk about this for now." Lu Jiu said seriously, "You exchanged fire with the Japanese yesterday and shot and killed a Japanese military policeman. In addition, Yamazaki Shuichi is dead. The Japanese must be stimulated and they will intensify the search."

He said to Yin Zongdao, "So, you guys stay here for the time being and don't go anywhere. If you need anything, let Lao Hami contact me."

"Okay." Yin Zongdao nodded. He took the cigarette that Lu Jiu handed over, bit it in his mouth, then leaned over to light it, took a puff with satisfaction, and said, "Yamazaki Shuichi is dead. Is your brother Fan in trouble?"

"There will be trouble." Lu Jiufan knew what Yin Zongdao was asking. He shook his head and said, "But it's not a big problem."

He said to Yin Zongdao, "If he really killed Yamazaki Shuichi, then there is no need to say more. However, Cheng Qianfan has already done it. If it wasn't him, the Japanese can't frame him."

……

"This is a false accusation!" Cheng Qianfan slammed the table, looking angry, "Slander! You are slandering me!"

"He slandered me!" He pointed at the man in front of him, his face gloomy, and said coldly to Shangguan Wu, "Director Shangguan, are you just going to watch them frame and slander me?"
