Chapter 5: The Unknown (I)
Originally, Kyoji Miyake arranged an assistant for himself as expected by Park Byung-jung, but he never expected that he would be selected from the Security Bureau, because the so-called assistant, to put it bluntly, is the person sent to spy on him.
Park Byung-jung knew that he was just a pawn of Kyoji Miyake.
Park Byung-jung asked, "Are they all Chinese?" ”
Kyoji Miyake said coldly: "Pay attention to your words, they are not Chinese, they are Manchukuo." ”
Park Byung-jung immediately apologized: "I'm sorry. ”
"I asked them to come, for the same reason that I made you the section chief." Kyoji Miyake explained, "It's just to dispel suspicions about the new department, so that the military department can't misunderstand us." ”
Park Byung-jung understood that the reason why Kyoji Miyake made such an arrangement was that he was worried that if the military department investigated and found that all the people in this department were Japanese, then Kyoji Miyake would be suspected of rebellion, and on the surface, Manchukuo was the leader, and there were no Japanese in the department, so he would not be caught by the military department.
Park Byung-jung nodded and said, "I understand." ”
Kyoji Miyake nodded: "It's hard work, you go down first, wait for the order." ”
"Yes!" Park Byung-jung bowed, then opened the door and left.
After walking out of the conference room, Park Byung-jung raised his eyes and saw Guan Beihe, Li Yunfan and Qian Sinian standing outside the door.
Guan Beihe immediately stepped forward and said, "Director Park." ”
Park Byung-jung didn't say much, just nodded and turned to leave.
When Park Byung-jung walked away, Guan Beihe said in a low voice: "What is a North Korean spirit, he really treats himself as a Japanese." ”
Li Yunfan asked: "Director, who is that Director Park just now?" ”
Guan Beihe said: "The North Korean Governor's Office was transferred, and now he has no clear position, but he is just the director of the General Affairs Department of the General Security Bureau. ”
Qian Sinian said on the side: "Director of the General Affairs Office? That's the same level as us, why are you nodding to him? ”
Guan Beihe called the two aside: "What do you know? This Park Byung-seong is a popular man in front of General Miyake and Honjo Daisa, and he says that he is at the same level as you, but in fact he has more power than me, and to put it bluntly, he was sent by the Japanese to spy on us. ”
Li Yunfan and Qian Sinian glanced at each other, one shrugged his shoulders and the other pouted.
In the conference room, Nobuyoshi Honjo looked at the file: "General, although Park Byung-jung is used by us, we can't fully trust him after all, and we must install our own people in the secret search class." ”
Kyoji Miyake smiled coldly: "I have already arranged it, and Qian Sinian is our eyeliner." ”
Honjo Nobuyoshi was puzzled: "Isn't he also a Manchukuo?" ”
"No, he is actually a North Korean like Park Byung-jung, and the current head of the Eighth Section of the Security Bureau's Secret War Section was secretly transferred by the Ministry of Internal Affairs from the Foreign Affairs Office of the Directorate General of the DPRK Governor's Office many years ago." Kyoji Miyake looked at Honjo Nobuyoshi and said, "In Manchuria, there are very few people who know his identity, which is why I want to arrange for him to go to the secret search class, and he is indeed an excellent agent, when he was in the Korean Governor's Palace, he once infiltrated the Korean Righteous Martyrs, he is very loyal, and he has rich experience in infiltration and surveillance." ”
Honjo Nobuyoshi asked again: "What about Li Yunfan?" ”
Kyoji Miyake said, "Let him in first, and then you'll know." ”
Honjo Nobuyoshi nodded, got up and opened the door of the conference room, and looked at the three people standing outside the door: "Section Chief Li Yunfan, please come in." ”
Li Yunfan immediately walked into the conference room, and the door was immediately closed again, and Guan Beihe and Qian Sinian outside the door didn't know what was going on, so they had to stand there and continue to wait.
Li Yunfan walked into the conference room, bowed and said, "General Miyake, Honjo Daisa." ”
Kyoji Miyake raised his hand and said, "Please be seated." ”
Li Yunfan sat down and sat up straight.
Kyoji Miyake opened his file: "I have already read your file, it is very good. ”
Li Yunfan said: "General Miyake has won the award!" ”
"You were born in a traditional Chinese family......" Kyoji Miyake said deliberately, as he expected, and in the middle of his words, Li Yunfan immediately interrupted him.
Li Yunfan said: "General, forgive me for being presumptuous, I am a Manchukuo!" ”
Kyoji Miyake was very satisfied with Li Yunfan's answer, nodded and continued: "You are from a martial arts family, your family is well-off, and you take care of the antique business, I heard that your father is also a very famous explorer in Manchukuo. ”
Li Yunfan replied: "I can't say that explorers are unknown, it's just that my father can't be idle, and he likes strange things and objects. ”
Kyoji Miyake nodded and looked at Li Yunfan squarely: "Then Section Chief Li, are you interested in those strange things and objects?" ”
Li Yunfan hesitated and asked rhetorically: "I don't know what General Miyake is referring to when he says strange things?" ”
Kyoji Miyake said: "Mysterious events, unexplained things, things like that. ”
Li Yunfan replied: "General, everyone has curiosity, but curiosity also represents danger. ”
Kyoji Miyake nodded and said, "Then for the sake of the Great Japanese Empire, for the sake of Manchukuo, and for the common prosperity of East Asia, are you willing to take risks?" ”
Li Yunfan chuckled in his heart, not knowing what Kyoji Miyake meant, but he still immediately stood up and said, "I am willing!" ”
Kyoji Miyake glanced at Honjo Nobuyoshi at this time, and Honjo Nobuyoshi probably understood why he chose Li Yunfan, not only because he was very good, but also because of his family background.
Kyoji Miyake finally got to the point: "From tomorrow, you will no longer be the head of the Investigation Section of the Security Bureau, and you will be transferred to the Secret Search Division and become an assistant to Park Byung-jung." ”
Li Yunfan was puzzled: "This ......"
Honjo Shinyoshi said: "Your salary will be increased by one level, and your authority will remain the same, and you can still enjoy the same treatment." ”
Li Yunfan said: "Yes, but I don't understand what the secret search class does." ”
Kyoji Miyake said simply: "As I said earlier, the Secret Search Division is responsible for investigating all the mysterious events in Manchukuo, and we are also preparing to hire your father as a special advisor to the Secret Search Division. ”
Nobuyoshi Honjo asked, "Do you still have questions?" ”
Li Yunfan said: "My subordinates don't understand, what does the so-called mysterious event refer to? ”
Kyoji Miyake nodded to Honjo Nobuyoshi, and Honjo Nobuyoshi took another file and handed it to Li Yunfan: "Section Chief Li, sit down and take a look at this file." ”
Li Yunfan took it with both hands, sat down and looked at it carefully.
Honjo Nobuyoshi looked at Li Yunfan and said, "A few days ago, the Harbin Special City Police Department received a report that a snake had been found in an izakaya in the old expatriate area. ”
"Snakes?" Li Yunfan was surprised, but he also saw the photos of the snakes in the archives at this time, "The snakes have long hibernated this season, how can there be?" ”
"It took us a lot of time to clean up the izakaya of the snakes, which were black and often appeared in the summer, and the locals of Manchukuo called them black worms, but they would not attack people. ”
"This snake is locally known as the snake, and the experts of the empire believe that it is a rare snake, even in Manchukuo, which is very rare." Honjo Nobuyoshi looked at the file in Li Yunfan's hand, "Even if you are a native of Harbin Special City, you have never seen so many black insects appear at the same time. ”
Li Yunfan looked at the file: "The file says that the snake came out of the kitchen of the izakaya, and after digging up the kitchen counter, it was found that there was a fishy cave underneath. ”
"The temperature of the cave is nearly 20 degrees higher than that outside, which is strange because we have surveyed that the frozen soil in Harbin Special City can reach a maximum depth of 20 centimeters in winter, and even if we continue to dig down, the temperature of the cave is far from the temperature that allows snakes to wake up in winter. ”
Li Yunfan looked at the record on the file: "The military department has already sent someone down?" ”
"Yes, we sent five groups of elite soldiers into the cave to investigate, but they all went and never returned, and even the rope tied to their bodies was broken, judging from the crack in the rope, it was made by some kind of beast bite. ”
Li Yunfan's gaze moved away from the file, raised his eyes to look at Kyoji Miyake and said, "In other words, we still don't know what's in the cave?" ”
Kyoji Miyake asked Li Yunfan another question: "Section Chief Li, in the history of this world, there is a saying that the ancients believed that there is more than one world in the land we live in. ”
Li Yunfan nodded silently.
Kyoji Miyake added: "The German side has already organized similar departments, and the funds and personnel are far more abundant than ours, and I heard that a lot of achievements have been made, although we are allies, but in this regard, Germany is not willing to share the results they have obtained." ”
Li Yunfan nodded: "I understand what General Miyake meant, you want the new department to operate as soon as possible and start investigating these unknown events." ”
Kyoji Miyake said: "That's right, it's true, now there are only three people in the new department, Chief Park, you and Qian Sinian, as for the rest of the personnel, you can screen and recruit, but it must be approved by me and Honjo Daisa." ”
Li Yunfan stood up and said: "Yes!" ”
Honjo Nobuyoshi nodded and said, "You can go out." ”
After Li Yunfan opened the door and left, Shinyoshi Honjo looked at Kyoji Miyake and said, "General, in fact, your purpose is his father." ”
Kyoji Miyake said: "Yes, his father is a strange man in Manchukuo, and he knows many people like him, and these people are an important force in the formation of the new department. ”
Honjo Nobuyoshi is still very worried: "However, in this way, the secret search class will be mixed and inconvenient to manage." ”
Kyoji Miyake said coldly: "That's why I will arrange for them to recruit members, and then conduct an actual screening operation, and after the screening is completed, the people who stay can become official members of the secret search class!" ”
Nobuyoshi Honjo asks, "Screening action?" ”
Kyoji Miyake pointed to the file he had shown Li Yunfan earlier: "This is it." ”
Honjo Nobuyoshi nodded: "I understand, after they recruit members, I will immediately start making arrangements." ”
Outside the conference room, when Guan Beihe and Qian Sinian were surrounding Li Yunfan and asking questions, the door opened again, and Honjo Nobuyoshi stood there and said: "Section Chief Qian, General Miyake is invited, Director Guan, you have nothing to do, you can go back." ”
Guan Beihe was stunned: "Huh? What do you mean? ”
Honjo Nobuyoshi didn't explain, just let Qian Sinian enter the conference room, and then slammed the door shut.
Guan Beihe looked at the closed door, and then looked at Li Yunfan: "This ......"
Li Yunfan just smiled bitterly: "Director, let's go, I'll invite you to drink." ”
Guan Beihe scolded in a low voice and left with Li Yunfan.
When he walked around the corner, Li Yunfan stopped slightly and looked in the direction of the conference room.
Secret search class? What exactly do the Japanese want to do?
