Chapter 284: Crazy Search
Try to avoid these people and find a way to find out Vice Chief Tang's residence and situation.
After Chu Lingyun made a decision in his heart, he immediately opened the toolbox and put on makeup for himself.
This time he was very serious, and more than an hour later, a young and handsome man appeared in the mirror, and I have to say that Hosokawa Tomotaka looked better than Chu Lingyun.
Young, handsome lad.
Hosokawa Tomotaka likes to wear suits, especially white suits, Chu Lingyun didn't have such clothes, and after putting on makeup, he didn't rush to the Japanese concession, but went to the ready-to-wear store.
White suits were not hard to buy, and he bought the clothes he wanted in the Public Concession.
"Go to the Japanese Concession."
Called a rickshaw, Chu Lingyun went directly, and he needed identification to enter the Japanese concession, and these things had long been sunk to the bottom of the river along with Hosokawa Tomotaka himself.
At this time, Hosokawa Tomotaka pretended by Chu Lingyun was actually a black household.
The black household is not afraid, he has a complete memory, and he can reissue his identity certificate at any time.
"The boss has arrived, four cents." The rickshaw arrived at the place, a little away from the stuck point.
The coachman looked at Chu Lingyun carefully, this distance is not short, and the price is not low.
Many Japanese people like to bully people, which is not as good as Western devils, although Western devils also have stingy ghosts, but at least they give money by car, and Japanese people often take cars for nothing.
You can't chase after him yet, after people enter the Japanese concession, if you dare to break in, the people over there will dare to beat you to death.
Therefore, once the coachman receives a job in the Japanese concession, he will usually stop a little farther, but even so, there are still Japanese people who do not give money, and if they chase after them, they may be beaten by the other party.
In the eyes of the coachman, these Oriental devils are the most hateful.
"No need to look for it."
Chu Lingyun gave him five cents, and he didn't ask for change, and the coachman thanked him and pulled the car and left quickly.
Chu Lingyun looked ahead, and the stuck point not far away was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Unfamiliar because this is the first time he came to Shanghai, the first time he went to the Japanese concession, and familiar because he has such a place in his memory.
Reading memories is like watching a movie, without having experienced the reality yourself.
Chu Lingyun strode over, his white suit was particularly conspicuous, and the sentry who was stuck couldn't help but look at him.
"Master Hosokawa." A sentry rubbed his eyes and hurried to meet him.
"Are you Zuoto?" Chu Lingyun looked at him, and a person in his memory popped up.
Second Lieutenant Nasuke Sato of the Japanese Concession Patrol, when Tomotaka Hosokawa first came to the Japanese Concession, Nasuke Sato was assigned to be his guide.
"I didn't expect you to remember me." Nasuke Sato was very excited.
He was a commoner, and the Japanese hierarchy still existed at this time, and it was a great honor for a noble child to remember his name.
Chu Lingyun nodded, didn't continue to pay attention to him, and strode into the Japanese concession.
Before, he thought about explaining the situation at the card point, and then went to reapply for an identity certificate, but he didn't expect that there was someone who knew Hosokawa Tomotaka on duty here, so he just omitted this step.
With Hosokawa Tomotaka's appearance, Chu Lingyun smoothly entered the Japanese concession, watching Chu Lingyun go away, and Nasuke Sato was still smirking there.
"Second Lieutenant Sato, who is he?"
A soldier asked in a low voice, and Nasuke Sato said proudly, "Hosokawa-sama of the House of Nobles knows, he is Hosokawa-sama's son."
Speaking of this, Nasuke Sato was suddenly stunned.
Some time ago, his boss's boss, the captain of the patrol team, Oishi Shaozuo, once ordered that whoever saw Young Master Hosokawa should report it immediately and have a reward.
Just now, I was only talking to Master Hosokawa, and I forgot about this.
He immediately ran out and reported to His Excellency Young Zuo as soon as possible, and Young Master Hosokawa was back.
"What you say is true?"
In the patrol captain's office, Oishi Uemura stood up suddenly, and Nasuke Sato immediately replied, "Your Excellency Shaozuo,
It's true, I just saw Master Hosokawa come back with my own eyes."
"Didn't anyone else see him?"
Oishi Uemura asked again, Nasuke Sato is just a minor officer, and he is currently in charge of the card points outside, and he doesn't know much about things.
As a young left, and the captain of the patrol, Oishi Uemura knows much more than Sato Nasuke.
The Hosokawa family is looking for this little master, and they are simply crazy.
Almost all of the Japanese in China received their requests for assistance, and as far north as Manchuria and south as Guangzhou, all parts of the country searched for Hosokawa's whereabouts.
The housekeeper of the Hosokawa family, Nakano Tsukasuo, once said that no matter who it is, if they can help find the young master, the Hosokawa family will thank them and help them as much as they can.
If you want to be promoted in the political circles, you will be personally supported by Hosokawa-sama, and if you want to be promoted, Hosokawa-sama will help you recommend it.
Marquis Hosokawa is a member of the House of Nobles, with a high and powerful position, if he is promoted by a young left, it is almost a matter of words.
No matter who it is, it will sell this face.
"I don't know where else it is, but after Master Hosokawa returned to the Japanese Concession, I was the first person to see him."
Nasuke Sato quickly replied, and Oishi Uemura immediately walked out.
"You come with me, and we'll go see Mr. Nakano."
This news must be reported as soon as possible, otherwise soon the Hosokawa family will know that their young master is back, and when the time comes, he will not be thanked by the Hosokawa family if he is preempted by others.
It's almost a bargain for nothing, and it must not be wasted.
When Nasuke Zuoto reported, Chu Lingyun came to the villa area of the Japanese concession.
As he entered the place, he encountered another stuck point.
Hosokawa Tomotaka had been here before, and the people who were stuck had not changed, and several people knew him, and with the help of this identity, he easily entered this heavily managed area.
According to his understanding of the Japanese Concession, if Vice Chief Tang lived in the Japanese Concession, he would be most likely to live here.
It is home to many important Japanese figures, and it is the most heavily defended.
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 goofed at any time.
Rows of Japanese-style villas, all look the same.
Soon, Chu Lingyun noticed that in a house on the corner of the street, there were two cars parked at the door, and there were 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 walked out of it, followed by a man in a suit.
Seeing the person who came out from behind, Chu Lingyun's eyes tightened slightly.
Vice Chief Tang was really here, this time he was lucky, he just came in and found his residence, but unfortunately he didn't have a gun, but even if he did, he alone couldn't move.
A person who takes the risk of assassination is not bravery, but stupidity to seek death.
When the goal was achieved, Chu Lingyun turned around and walked out.
The Japanese concession is not too big, and it didn't take long for him to go out, and the Japanese concession was strictly managed, and no one asked when he went out, so he waved a rickshaw outside, and soon disappeared into the public concession.
Nakano Tsukasa was in a luxury suite in the hotel, and 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.
"Mr. Nakano."
Oishi Uemura and Sato Nasuke entered the room under the leadership of the subordinate, Nakano Tsuruo was making tea, and after the two came in, Oishi Uemura bowed respectfully and saluted, and then knelt opposite Nakano Tsukao.
Nakano took a sip of tea, looked up and asked, "You said you saw the young master?"
It's not that Nakano Tsukashi is not in a hurry to find someone, he is more anxious than anyone else, but during this time, all kinds of news about seeing the young master are flying all over the sky, and it was finally confirmed that all of them are false.
There have been many fakes, and when Nakano Tsukashi hears such a report again, people should see it, but he doesn't look excited at all.
"Yes."
The big thing Uemura didn't dare to have any disrespect for Nakano Tsuruo, and hurriedly bowed his head: "It's my subordinate, I saw Young Master Hosokawa Tomotaka return to the concession today, not long ago."
"Young Master is back?"
Nakano Tsukashio's hand holding the teacup stiffened, and when he saw the young master before, he either said that he was in a distant place, or he had only seen people, and he didn't know where he went.
He sent someone to look for it, but there was no clue at all.
There are many people who want to cheat the bounty, is the money of the Hosokawa family so easy to cheat, after confirming that it is false news, Nakano Tsukasao punished a lot of people.
But this time it was different, this time I actually met someone in the concession?
With so many people in the concession, such a lie is extremely easy to debunk.
"Where did you see him?"
Nakano Tsukasa lost his steadiness just now, and immediately asked, and Uemura looked at Nasuke Sato beside him.
"Mr. Nakano, I am the guard of the concession checkpoint, and Master Hosokawa passed by our checkpoint just now and returned to the concession."
"Tell me what happened."
Tsukasa Nakano asked quickly, almost all the clues reported before were information from a long time ago, but this time it was just now, and it was extremely certain.
"Hello."
Nasuke Sato told him that he had seen Chu Lingyun and that Chu Lingyun still remembered his name, and Nakano Tsukasa's heart was beating faster, and his face was slightly red.
This time the story is extremely detailed, there is more than one person who saw the young master, the people on the card point have seen it, and the young master is back to the concession by himself, and there must be other people in the concession who have seen him.
Unless they are fools, no one dares to make up such a lie.
It's the young left and the second lieutenant who came, if it was a fool, then the Great Japanese Empire would be over, and a fool could become a young left, and what combat effectiveness could he have.
"Quick, take me there."
Nakano 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, Nakano immediately asked the others on the card point.
"Gone?"
Nakano Tsukashi was a little dazed, according to what they said, the young master did come back, but he left again not long after, and 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 not seen by the dragon, would leave as soon as he came back?
So what is this, is he merit or deceit?
At this time, he regretted it a little, he had known that he would go to Young Master Hosokawa first, and at least send someone to follow him, so that he wouldn't find anyone now.
"Besides you, who else has seen the young master?"
Nakano Tsukao's face was gloomy, and the people around him looked unkind, and they came and left after a while, sounding like they were playing tricks.
"Come on, who else has seen Master Hosokawa."
Oishi Uemura hurriedly asked, he knew very well that Nakano Tsukashi was suspecting them of lying, and if he was misunderstood and deceived by the Hosokawa family, he could not afford to be a small Shaozuo.
"There must have been a lot of people in the concession who have seen it."
The team members replied cautiously, Nakano Tsukashi did not continue to ask, and immediately entered the concession and asked one by one.
It didn't take long for him to find out the truth.
The young master really came back, and there were more than a group of people who saw the young master, and some people saw the young master go to him to report, but he had already run out.
Another person who was stuck also saw the young master, and according to what they said, Nakano Tsukashi could be sure that the young master had indeed returned, and they were not lying.
"Dashi Shaozuo, thank you, you have worked hard this time."
Since the other party did not lie, he reported the whereabouts of the young master as soon as possible, that is, he helped the Hosokawa family, and Nakano Tsukao thanked him.
"It's an honor to serve the Hosokawa family."
Oishi Zhicun replied politely, Nakano Tsukasuo was in no mood to say anything to him, since the young master is back, then he must still be in Shanghai now, and then he has to find the young master as soon as possible.
Amaterasu blesses, the young master is fine.
During this time, his biggest worry was that something happened to the young master, after all, China was in chaos, if the young master really had an accident, he didn't know how to explain to the marquis.
Chu Lingyun changed his clothes, wiped off his makeup, and returned to the hotel.
He didn't know that many Japanese people outside were frantically looking for him, and he didn't know how much impact he had when he appeared as Hosokawa Tomotaka.
Today, I was lucky enough to determine where Vice Chief Tang lived in the Japanese Concession.
Chu Lingyun took out the map of the Japanese concession, manually perfected the map, and marked the residence of Vice Chief Tang.
The Japanese concession was heavily defended, and it was difficult to sneak in and assassinate him, especially in the place where Tang Cichang lived, and there were many light and dark sentries around.
Vice Chief Tang was assassinated, and the guards in his family are certainly not weak, and it is difficult to sanction him in the Japanese concession.
At noon, he returned to the hotel first, and today he visited a young gang elder and a patriotic wealthy businessman.
Both of them have a lot of prestige in Shanghai, and they promised to help with Vice Minister Tang, which can be regarded as a satisfactory result for the New Year.
Whether he can get his wish depends on whether Vice Minister Tang will accept the appointment.
Zhu Qing didn't come back until the evening, his face 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 there were some places that he could not go."
After Zhu Qing finished speaking, he 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, and whoever can find someone will have a reward of 5,000 yen.
Zhu Qing's words made Chu Lingyun's heart skip a beat, he had just entered the Japanese Concession today with the appearance of Hosokawa Tomotaka, could it be that he was discovered so quickly that he was a fake?
Chu Lingyun carefully recalled the actions of the Japanese concession for a few days, in order to hide his identity, he did not speak to a few people, and every time he spoke, he suppressed his voice and did not show any flaws.
The people who spoke to him didn't know much about Tomotaka Hosokawa, and it was impossible to see that he wasn't himself.
In addition to his voice, Chu Lingyun is very confident in appearance, and his disguise is absolutely invisible to others.
"Who is Tomotaka Hosokawa?" He Nian immediately asked.
"It is said that he is a noble young master in Japan, and the people of their family are in a hurry to find him, and they have offered a high reward, let me see, he is a disobedient son."
Zhu Qing shook his head and said, Chu Lingyun suddenly realized that it was not that he had revealed his flaws, but that Hosokawa Tomotaka had been missing for too long, and his family was looking for him.
Look for it, people in the river of Wuhan have long been turned into bones, and it is impossible to find them even if they are tired to death in Shanghai.
"Aristocrats?"
He Nian touched his chin, Japan is an imperial system, and the power of the nobles is very large, and they offer a reward to find someone who can understand.
"Yes, section chief, it is said that they also asked the Qing Gang to help them find someone, and anyone who finds him can get the gratitude of the Hosokawa family."
Zhu Qing's words made He Nian's heart move, and he immediately said, "Do you have any details about this noble son?"
"No, section chief, you don't want to find him too, do you?" Zhu Qing was stunned.
"Why not?"
He Nian glared at him: "As long as we don't reveal our identities, after finding someone, invite someone from the Hosokawa family to come forward and hold an event such as a drinking party, it is very likely that Tang Cichang will be lured out."
He Nian is now in a hurry to complete the task, and he will first think of the task in everything, since the Hosokawa family is a Japanese nobleman, if a drinking party is held in a hotel in the Public Concession or the French Concession, Vice Minister Tang is likely to participate.
In this way, they can obtain Vice Minister Tang's whereabouts in advance and make corresponding arrangements, and the possibility of success of the operation is greatly improved.
As for them, they should temporarily disguise themselves as wealthy businessmen and not be known to anyone who they really are.
Military intelligence
If the people in the department can't even do this, just wipe their necks.
"Section Chief, you're still powerful, I didn't expect this."
Zhu Qing said excitedly, what the section chief said was right, if they helped find someone, wouldn't the Hosokawa family want to express it?
Using the Hosokawa family, it is an excellent idea to draw out the second chief of Tang.
"Section Chief, so many people are looking for it again, can we find it?" Zhu Qing was happy for a while, and said worriedly.
They don't know that the person they are looking for is far away and close at hand.
Chu Lingyun didn't plan to tell them the truth, he couldn't explain it, he could understand it with makeup, but how did he know what Hosokawa Tomotaka looked like?
If the New Year asked him to continue to disguise Hosokawa Tomotaka, how could he explain that the people of the Hosokawa family would not suspect it?
There is also Nakano Tsukashio, who visits Hosokawa Tomotaka every month and is very familiar with him, and Chu Lingyun is in danger of being exposed at any time in front of him.
"How do you know if you don't try? In terms of finding people, we are no worse than others, and we will launch the Shanghai station to find people together."
He Nian said confidently that before there was no other good way, this was always a way.
Chu Lingyun didn't persuade him, he knew that it was impossible to succeed in the New Year, or that no one in the whole of Shanghai could find Hosokawa Tomotaka.
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.
Tsukasa Nakano mobilized so many people, and it was no secret that Tomotaka Hosokawa's appearance and dress were easy to find out.
Through the relationship of the Green Gang, He Nian got a photo of Tomotaka Hosokawa.
What made Chu Lingyun speechless was that the task of finding someone fell on him.
He also has to find a way to lure out Vice Minister Tang, and Zhu Qing wants to use the Japanese to investigate Vice Minister Tang's situation in the Japanese concession, the two of them currently have something to do, only Chu Lingyun is idle, and this task will naturally be 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 there was no need to run all over the street looking for people.
But find yourself yourself, this kind of thing is really new.
Chu Lingyun knew that this was an impossible task, but those team members and the people at the Shanghai station did not know, and they were inquiring around with enthusiasm.
As I said, after finding someone, there will not only be a reward from the Japanese, but also an additional 2,000 fiat currency.
The value of the yen and the fiat currency is about the same, a little lower than the fiat currency, 5,000 yen can basically be exchanged for 4,89 fiat currency, plus additional rewards, which is a lot of wealth for many team members.
Finding a job is not dangerous, and with so much money to be taken from, they are extremely motivated.
Especially the people at Shanghai Station, they are the head snakes, they are more familiar with Shanghai, they know a lot of people, and mobilize everyone to follow and look for them.
Chu Lingyun sat on a chair and sipped tea.
Hosokawa Tomotaka's memories were turned out by him piece by piece, growing up with his mother since he was a child, his father couldn't see them a few times a year, and he didn't stay long before leaving in a hurry.
When he was young, what he was most afraid of was seeing his mother's disappointed expression.
Every time my father left, my mother would lie down in front of the door until my father's figure disappeared completely and she would not return to the room.
My mother's life was not good, and it had a great impact on Hosokawa Tomotaka when he was a child.
In his heart, he believed that his father killed his mother, and his mother was widowed all the year round, and he missed his father, and his health was not good under depression, and he finally died at the age of forty.
He didn't like his father, so he left Japan immediately after his mother's death and traveled to China.
When he was young, Hosokawa Tomotaka was especially envious of those children who had fathers, if he could be as good as those children, at least his mother would be happy and happy, and he would definitely not die so early.
Although he was taken care of by Marquis Hosokawa, no one dared to bully him, and no one dared to call him an illegitimate son to his face, but privately
The inferiority of giving birth to a child has long been buried deep in Hosokawa Tomotaka's heart.
In the entire Hosokawa family, the only person who does not dislike Hosokawa Tomotaka is Tsukasa Nakano.
If there is anything wrong with their orphans and widows, it is always Nakano Tsukao who comes forward, and the monthly living expenses are also sent by Nakano Tsukao himself, and he shush them and ask for warmth, and almost all of his childhood toys were sent by Nakano Tsukao.
After coming to China, Tomotaka Hosokawa only wrote letters to Tsukasao Nakano and never asked his father.
This also made Chu Lingyun the most jealous of Nakano Sixiong, he didn't think about using Hosokawa Tomotaka to lure out Tang Cichang.
It would be very easy for him to do this if he came forward as Tomotaka Hosokawa, but if he did, he would definitely have to face Tsukasa Nakano, and thinking of this, he dispelled this idea.
