Chapter Ninety-Eight: Eccentricity (I)

After leaving An's house, Tang Qianlin and Li Yunfan were invited by Mo Di to go to his house for tea, and by the way, they discussed the case against President An.

After sitting down, Mo Di first apologized to the two of them on behalf of An Ran, and then said: "We also have to understand Miss An's mood now, I think, maybe she will change her mind tomorrow." ”

Li Yunfan asked, "Mr. Mo, if I'm not mistaken, did Miss An return from studying in Japan?" ”

Tang Qianlin suddenly said, "No, Miss An shouldn't be President An's biological daughter, right?" She's Japanese and was adopted by President Ahn? ”

Mo Di nodded and said: "The two of you are really meticulous, An Ran is indeed not President An's biological daughter, she is his daughter-in-law, An Ran's original name is Utsunomiya Chiyo, and she is the daughter of President An's sworn brother Utsunomiya Motohito." ”

Li Yunfan recalled: "Is Utsunomiya Motohito the former director of the Manchurian Railway? ”

Mo Di said: "Yes, he was originally a director of Mantie, he had two wives, the first wife was Japanese, died in Japan, the second was Chinese, Enron is the daughter born to the second wife, but because of the Utsunomiya family, he has not been able to bring Enron back to Japan, she has lived in China since she was a child, and most of the time she follows President An." ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Then why is this Utsunomiya Motoren not in Gongrong Village?" ”

Li Yunfan explained: "I heard that about a year ago, he seemed to have died of illness. ”

Tang Qianlin said: "So that's the case. ”

Mo Di looked at the dark courtyard and said for a long time: "It's not that he died of illness, he was poisoned." ”

"What?" Tang Qianlin was stunned for a moment, "Poisoned? ”

Mo Di nodded: "Yes, poisoning, it is rumored that the military department did it, because Utsunomiya Motohito was involved in the 226 Mutiny a few years ago, after the incident, he was placed under house arrest in Manchuria and died of illness soon after, but many people say that he was poisoned by the military department." ”

Tang Qianlin asked: "Could it be that President An's death is also related to the military department?" ”

Mo Di hurried: "No, it is absolutely impossible, the reason is very simple, even if the military department is forced to support General Ishihara's plan, but it will not do this kind of thing, after all, the League of Nations will send a press corps to investigate immediately, so I hope that before the press corps of the League of Nations comes, please ask the two to investigate this case clearly, after all, President An's death, the military department will definitely attach great importance to it, because President An is a very important partner for Japan." ”

That's a traitor? Tang Qianlin thought so in his heart, he felt that it was a waste of time to stay in Mo Di's house now, so he got up and said, "Mr. Mo, then let's take our leave first, go back and find clues, and we will meet again tomorrow to discuss." ”

Mo Di bowed and said, "It's hard work for the two of you." ”

Li Yunfan said: "You don't need to send it far, just stay." ”

Mo Di's wife, Yuan Suzi, also hurriedly walked to the door, bowed deeply, and then got up to watch Tang Qianlin and Li Yunfan leave.

Gen Suzi said: "Jiro, as your wife, I shouldn't have said much about your work, but I still feel that your choice to come here seems to be a wrong decision, because this place makes me very uneasy. ”

Mo Di grabbed Yuan Suzi's hand and said, "I'm already grateful that you are willing to follow me here." As you know, we can't go back to Japan, where we can still be sheltered by General Ishihara. ”

Gen Suzi said in a low voice: "Could it be that you have already told General Ishihara about your identity?" ”

Mo Di hesitated and nodded, "Yes!" ”

Yuan Suzi trembled: "He knows that you are a Communist Party, and he will definitely notify the special high class!" ”

Mo Di shook his head: "General Ishihara wants to be notified, he has already been notified, and he will not wait until now." We have a new identity here, and we are all dependent on him, and I also believe that General Ishihara is one of the few lords and factions in the military department. My ideal was to re-establish the Japanese Communist Party in Manchuria, and if I succeeded, I could rewrite history, and maybe even rescue Comrade Koichi Tokuda from prison. ”

(Note: Tokuda Koichi, general secretary of the Japanese Communist Party, was arrested and imprisoned by the Japanese Special High School in 1928, and was not released until after the war.) )

Gen Suzi sighed, "I'm worried that it's just a dream in the end. ”

Mo Di said with a smile: "Dreams are also the product of ideal diffraction, people have to have dreams and ideals!" ”

Gen Suzi barely squeezed out a smile and hugged her husband tightly.

On the street, Tang Qianlin and Li Yunfan walked slowly, both pondering what happened to President An's death?

Li Yunfan suddenly stopped and said, "I think there is something wrong with that hexagonal pavilion." ”

Tang Qianlin nodded: "It's the same as I thought, otherwise An Guotao wouldn't have stayed inside all the time, by the way, do you know An Guotao?" ”

Li Yunfan nodded: "I've heard of it, his name was still common in the newspapers before, he is the speaker of the Jiamusi side, and his relationship with the Japanese is extraordinary, just like Na Weizheng." ”

After Li Yunfan finished speaking, Tang Qianlin suddenly remembered something, and said to himself: "Then Ma Anyan, the four kings surnamed Han?" ”

Li Yunfan also understood what he meant: "You mean, An Guotao is also one of the four kings surnamed Han?" ”

Tang Qianlin nodded: "There is this possibility, let's go, let's hurry back to Ye Da to confirm." ”

At the same time, the Special Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army in Harbin, in the office of Kyoji Miyake.

Masaji Maeda and Tendo Kubo stood at their desks, looking at Kyoji Miyake who was on the phone.

Kyoji Miyake took the microphone and said, "Yes, I understand!" By all means as soon as possible! Be! ”

After Kyoji Miyake put down the phone, Maeda Masaji hurriedly asked, "General, what's wrong?" ”

Kyoji Miyake said: "An Guotao, the president of Nisman United Commercial Co., Ltd., that is, the chairman of the Jiamusi side, died in his home in Gongei Village this evening. ”

Maeda Masaji didn't know about this person, so he had to look at Kubo Tendo.

Kubo Tendo said, "Dead? What is the meaning? ”

Kyoji Miyake said: "In Kenji Ishihara's report to the military department, it is impossible to determine whether this case is a suicide or a homicide, but he suggests that the secret search division have full authority to investigate the matter. ”

Maeda Masaji was surprised: "General Ishihara asked us to investigate?" ”

Kyoji Miyake shook his head: "You heard clearly, it's the secret search department, not the special intelligence department." ”

Kubo Tiandao said: "In other words, he asked Qian Sinian, Tang Qianlin, Li Yunfan and others, who were already in Gongrong Village, to investigate? ”

Kyoji Miyake said, "That's right. Ishihara, the fox, is very shrewd, and in doing so, firstly, it prevents other departments from going to Gongei Village to investigate, and secondly, even if I want to investigate, the military department will think that the secret search department is subordinate to our special intelligence department, and there is also a relationship with the Security Bureau, since they are already in Gongrong Village, then it will be superfluous for us to go again. ”

Maeda Masaji said: "If you speculate like this, then An Guotao's death must also be in General Ishihara's plan." ”

Kyoji Miyake shook his head: "If it is really An Guotao who was killed by Ishihara, then he will be in big trouble, you must know that An Guotao's identity is very special, he is very loyal to the empire, and Ishihara wants to kill An Guotao It is equivalent to burying all his future, so, I don't believe that he did it." ”

Kubo said, "Who would do that?" Could it be that there are anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements in Gongrong Village? ”

Kyoji Miyake said: "Since Ishihara suggested to the military department that we should investigate, the military department immediately agreed, and he was also testing the attitude of the military department towards both of us. ”

Maeda Masaji said: "What does the general mean that the military department does not want us or General Ishihara to be too strong?" In this way to maintain the balance between the two of us? ”

Kyoji Miyake said, "That's right, that's it. And I can conclude that as long as the second step of the Prajna plan is successful, the military headquarters will definitely send someone to my side, in the name of assistance, but in fact to monitor, and take the opportunity to take his place. Therefore, since Qian Sinian and Tang Qianlin are in Gongrong Village, the truth will be revealed sooner or later, and we must go all out to improve the Prajna plan now. ”

Maeda Masaji and Kubo Tendo said in unison: "Yes! ”

In Gongrong Village, Tang Qianlin and Li Yunfan returned to the hotel, but they didn't see Ye Da, but saw Yi Mochen who was sitting there drinking.

Yi Mochen saw the two of them coming back, and hurriedly said, "Come, sit down and drink something, I have gained a lot tonight." ”

Tang Qianlin and Li Yunfan sat down, and Li Yunfan asked, "What have you gained?" ”

Yi Mochen chewed peanuts and said, "First of all, most of the Chinese in this Gongrong Village were brought from prison, but they were not identified as anti-Manchu anti-Japanese elements. ”

Tang Qianlin asked, "What kind of people are they?" ”

Yi Mochen said: "What do you say? It's considered a relatively high level within the prisoner, right? As for the owner of the antique shop I went to, guess who this guy is? ”

Tang Qianlin was not familiar with the Northeast, so he had to shake his head, and Li Yunfan asked, "Who?" ”

Yi Mochen said mysteriously: "Fan Gu! ”

Li Yunfan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "That's what you are talking about, Fan Gu who was arrested for reselling medicinal materials and selling ancient tomb artifacts?" ”

Yi Mochen said: "That's right, this guy died back then, whose Ming weapon was not good to buy, he had to buy the ancestral grave of the flag man, that's it, he also sold this thing to the flag man of the other family, and it was taken down at that time, he spent money to find a way to find a relationship, and finally reduced his sentence to two years, who knew that his butt was not hot in prison, and he was brought here." ”

Tang Qianlin asked, "What else?" You elaborate. ”

Yi Mochen nodded, and after taking a sip of wine, he began to recall the content of the chat between him and Fan Gu.

When Yi Mochen walked into the store, he found that the boss who was sitting behind the counter and yawning looked very familiar.

And the boss also looked at him half-squinted, looked up and down, and finally asked tentatively: "Is your surname Yi?" ”

Yi Mochen nodded: "You are?" ”

The boss clapped his hands, came to his senses, and walked around the counter to Yi Mochen: "Yi Mochen!" Boss Yi! ”

Yi Mochen still nodded: "I'm sorry, I forgot who you were?" ”

The boss said: "I'm Fan Gu, I can't remember, right?" I bought a pearl of the night from you. ”

Yi Mochen suddenly remembered that the night pearl was bought and given one free when he was doing business by chance, and when he was eating in a tavern, he took it out to play with it, and was seen by Fan Gu at the next table, and he wanted to buy it, but the two of them had done such a deal.

Yi Mochen said: "I remember, Boss Fan, why are you here?" ”

Fan Gu said: "I was also about to ask you, why are you here too?" ”

Yi Mochen said: "To be honest, I was invited by the Japanese." ”

Yi Mochen didn't tell a lie, he was indeed the person invited by Kenji Ishihara.

Fan Gu said: "I thought you were the same as me, you were sent from prison." ”

Yi Mochen asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Fan Gu glanced outside the door: "Come in, come in, it's getting dark anyway, you didn't have dinner, right?" Let's drink two glasses. ”

Yi Mochen said: "Okay, I'll go buy wine." ”

Fan Gu stopped Yi Mochen: "I am the master, you are the guest, you wait a while, the wine and food will arrive soon." ”

With that, Fan Gu turned around and walked out of the shop.
