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

Sakamoto Ryono invited him to return to Imamura Mansion. Saito Kazuo hesitated for a moment, after all, because Miyazaki Kentaro was his own person 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." Ryono Sakamoto said with a smile.

Cheng Qianfan also smiled knowingly. He knew that Ryono Sakamoto was referring to the fact that he had complained about him before.

"Sato-kun." Sakamoto Ryono said to the co-pilot Ichio Saito, "Miyazaki-kun admires Lieutenant General very much. He had regretted missing the opportunity to visit Lieutenant General before."

"Is that true? Miyazaki Kun?" Saito Kazuo smiled and turned his head to ask Kentaro Miyazaki.

"On the day when the Empire 101st Division entered Nanchang, I raised my glass from afar at home to congratulate him." Cheng Qianfan said, "At that time, I thought that if I had the opportunity to pay a glass of wine to the famous generals of the Empire in the future, I would have no regrets in my life."

"Hahaha." Saito Ichio was very happy. "Maybe Miyazaki's wish will be fulfilled soon."

"Really?" Cheng Qianfan showed a happy and excited expression. He looked at the slightly smug smile of Saito Ichio, and his expression moved, "Sato... Saito Jun."

His eyes were filled with anticipation and he said in an uncertain tone, "Lieutenant General and Saito Kun..."

"Uncle, if he knew that there was an imperial toshihiko Miyazaki, admired him, he would definitely be very happy." Saito Kazuo said with a smile.

"It turns out that it was actually-" Cheng Qianfan was surprised, surprised, and then inexplicably excited. Finally, all this emotion turned into a excited sigh, "I should have thought of it long ago that Saito Kwan is so outstanding, he must be a famous general."

"Miyazaki Jun is too good." Saito Kazuo said with a smile. He didn't have much contact with Kentaro Miyazaki before, but now he finally understands why many people like to make friends with Miyazaki.

This guy Miyazaki's words are really impressive.

...

Cheng Qianfan also started chatting with Kazuo Saito in a warm manner.

Previously, I saw that Saito Kazuo came to find Ryono Sakamoto, told Imamura that I can't come to the salon for something, and learned that Saito Yataro failed to leave Shanghai due to temporary problems.

Cheng Qianfan immediately confirmed something:

Saito Ichio must have followed Imamura Hitaro to see off Saito Yataro.

Then he thought about why Imamura Hitaro chose Kazuo Saito to see off a Japanese lieutenant general.

He knew Hitotaro Imamura very well. Imamura was a person who seemed to treat his younger generation very easily in private, but actually paid great attention to superiority and etiquette in public.

Imamura Hitaro would never take someone to see Saito Yataro off.

Saito Ichio?

Saito Yataro?

Cheng Qianfan had previously secretly speculated that Is Saito Ichio a son and nephew of Saito Yataro?

Because Hitaro Imamura has the habit of using juniors of the generations when getting close to his subordinates.

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

For example, Hojo Hideho, Cheng Qianfan learned from Ono Shunji many years ago that Hojo Hideho's uncle Yoshinobu Yamamoto was the captain of the 24th Regiment of the Field Artillery of the Second Field Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Japanese Kanto Army.

In the first half of this year, Yamamoto Yoshinobu was promoted to the rank of major general and was transferred to the position of Minister of Weapons of the Japanese Kanto Army Command.

The war between the Japanese Kanto Army and the Soviet Union in Nomenkan was fought. As the weapons minister of the Kanto Army Command, Yamamoto Yoshinobu was the person responsible for raising and transporting combat equipment and combat materials for the Japanese army fighting for the "Nomenkan" frontline.

Therefore, after a little thought, Cheng Qianfan tended to think that Saito Ichio was the elder of the Japanese lieutenant general, Saito Yataro.

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

This not only made Sakamoto Ryono take the initiative to invite him to return to Imamura Mansion, but also made Kazuo Saito have a better impression of him.

...

"So that's it." Cheng Qianfan showed a sudden look.

Since he had already "exposed" his background, Saito Kazuo no longer concealed anything and took the initiative to talk about himself.

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

Working in the diplomatic department, especially in Shanghai, the most prosperous city in the Far East, is definitely one of the most suitable jobs for young men with backgrounds like Ryono Sakamoto and Kazuo Saito.

Speaking of the friendship between Imamura Hitaro and Saito Yataro, they also come from the Kanto Army circle.

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

Yataro Saito graduated from the 19th Infantry Department of the Army Non-commissioned Officer School. He happened to be a classmate of Imamura Jung-soo. At the same time, he also had Abe-Shikami, Masa-Haru Honma and others.

In addition, the Japanese military police commander in Shanghai Junichiro Ikenai also has the background of the Kwantung Army. Cheng Qianfan had previously entrusted Imamura Hitaro to send two smoke clips made of pure gold with the "Willow Lake Incident" commemorative lettering, which made the Ikenai happy.

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

Cheng Qianfan is good at dancing with his long sleeves. Every word he says is twitching to the itchy part of Saito Ichio. At the same time, he does not have a deliberate flattery. He is completely a sincere friend, which makes Saito Ichio's impression of him getting better and better.

...

Hongkou District.

Special high class.

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

Nohara was released from the police station an hour ago.

After seeing Kusato Kikuto, Nohara's first sentence was to suggest Kusato Kikuto arrest Cen Xu, the tenant at No. 62, Masi South Road.

"Technically speaking, the radio signal disappeared when we came to No. 62, Masi South Road." Nohara thought, "Although the possibility of radio stations being in the surrounding areas cannot be ruled out, the intuition tells me that Cen Xu is extremely suspicious."

Kikube Hirou frowned.

Nohara's answer did not satisfy him.

Moreover, Kikube Hiroo 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 guy with a very quirky personality, to be precise, a very revengeful and cruel personality.

Nobara strongly demanded the arrest of Cen Xu.

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

However, there is another very important point. Cen Xu witnessed his miserable appearance by the police. Nohara had no choice but to take the police room at the moment, so let's take Cen Xu first.

Dingling.

The internal phone ringing on Kikube Hiroo's desk rang.

He picked up the phone, and soon, Kikube Kusato's expression was sinister. He put the phone and microphone and said to Nohara, "Cen Xu insisted that he was innocent."

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

Kikube Kusao nodded and agreed 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's skin was already blooming, and large pieces of blood-red meat could be seen.

The smell of blood and the burning skin all over his body.

His head was drooping, his whole body was weak and in a semi-coma.

When Cen Xu heard someone approaching and talking, he did not look up. His eyes were closed and he didn't even raise his eyelids.

He was happy in his heart.

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

Now, the wife and son are taking the revolution torch to burn safely in a place where the fire is burning.

...

"Cen Xu." Kuano Kikube picked up a burning red soldering iron and approached Cen Xu. "We have found a 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 Foreign Company, and we must keep commercial communications open with Germany."

"Do you think this kind of lie can be confused?" Kikube Kuano shook his head. He grabbed Cen Xu's head, then put the red soldering iron almost against Cen Xu's scalp, burning his hair with a fever.

A can of salt water poured down, extinguishing the burning hair. At the same time, the salt water penetrated into the broken wound, causing Cen Xu to scream and twist his body. Because of twisting his body, the bound ropes rubbed violently and burned the body, which made it even more painful.

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

"It's impossible to contact the German side." Nohara, who had been silent on the side and had only come over to study the wounds on Cen Xu with interest, suddenly spoke.

"That's the truth, you can go and check it out." Cen Xu said gritting his teeth, enduring the pain.

"Jet difference." Nohara smiled slightly, "When you sent the telegram, it was not yet dawn in Germany."

Hearing Nohara's words, Cen Xu's face changed. He knew that the biggest loophole in his words had been caught by the other party.

"It is precisely because of an emergency that I am anxious to contact there." Cen Xuqiang defended himself and explained.

"No, no, no." Nohara shook his head, "Europa and I often have telegrams. We will pay more attention to the time difference and choose moments that are easy for both parties to accept."

Kikube Hiroo glanced at Nohara and was surprised that Nohara could actually think of the time difference, because Kikube Hirooo didn't even notice this.

Of course, the time difference is not a complete reason for doubt. As Cen Xu said, if you have urgent matters, you can contact the other party at any time.

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