"Who are you?" The car washing worker put down the towel in his hand, wiped his hands on his clothes, and walked over and asked, "What are you doing with Brother Pang?"
"I am Xiao Quan from Xinda Trading. Our Manager Tian Xiang went out with Manager Pang yesterday and has not returned yet." Koizumi Nobuzawa said.
Hearing "Xiao Quan" say this, the car washers let go of their vigilance.
Xinda Trading is the main customer of the car dealer, and that manager Tian Xiang is said to be quite famous. Pang Yuanju is usually very respectful to Manager Tian Xiang.
"Brother Pang didn't go home last night," said the car washer. "He and Xiang Tian didn't come back after leaving yesterday morning."
"Do you know where they were going?" Koizumi Nobuzawa asked immediately.
"Mr. Gong from Tianjin was hospitalized in the Second Hospital of the General Office. Brother Pang Hotan Xiang went to the hospital to visit Mr. Gong." said the car washer.
Mr. Gong?
Nobuzawa Koizumi immediately knew who the chief was going to meet:
Cheng Qianfan, deputy general manager of the Central Police Station of the French Concession in Shanghai, is Chu Mingyu's son and nephew. It is said that Chu Mingyu has trusted him and joined Wang Baihai's team this time.
Of course, the most important thing is that Cheng Qianfan had long secretly defected to the empire and served for the Mei agency.
The director attached great importance to Cheng Qianfan, who was deeply trusted by Chu Mingyu and was able to approach and understand the internal situation of the Wang family.
One thing can show the chief's attention to the senior police officer in the French Concession Police Station. Two days ago, the chief suddenly asked him to get a Stiepunk car overnight.
At that time, Koizumi Nobuzawa was busy all night before finding a detained Stypunk car from the military police headquarters and hurriedly completed the procedures to get the Stypunk car out.
Later he learned that the car was prepared for Cheng Qianfan.
Although there seems to be evidence that it is because Chu Mingyu also likes Stie Punk's car that the director attaches great importance to Cheng Qianfan's request, this is enough to attract the attention of Nobuzawa Koizumi.
However, this Steepunk car does not seem to be auspicious. During the assassination of Wang Baihai on the Minsheng Bridge, the Steepunk car was taken seriously by the attackers. Cheng Qianfan, who was named "Mr. Gong" in the Mei agency, was also shot and injured in the attack.
With the director's attention to Cheng Qianfan, it is indeed very possible that he and Hideichi Harada went to the Second Hospital of the General Administration to visit Cheng Qianfan.
The most important point is that after Koizumi Nobuzawa learned that after the assassination of Wang Baihai at Minsheng Bridge, he learned that Cheng Qianfan was shot and injured in this attack. Toshihiko Okada once visited Qianfan in the Second Hospital of the General Administration.
...
So, the question is, the director went to the hospital yesterday morning to visit "Mr. Gong" and left the hospital at noon at the latest. So, where did the director go after leaving the hospital? Is it a secret appointment recorded in the work log for Nakajima immediately?
In this case, will Cheng Qianfan know when and where the secret appointment of the director was?
Nobuzawa Koizumi was thinking in his mind.
However, no matter what, after obtaining the clue of "Mr. Gong" who was recovering from the Second Hospital of the Organization, Nobuzawa Koizumi's worries were finally temporarily alleviated.
He now tends to go to that secret appointment after the director leaves the hospital.
As for the real situation, we must first meet Cheng Qianfan and ask.
"Are you Pan Yang?" Nobuzawa Koizumi asked. He remembered that Pang Yuanju had a very relied on employee in the Ideal Car Store.
"I am." Pan Yang nodded and said.
"I heard from Manager Pang mention you." Koizumi Nobuzawa nodded, and he thanked Pan Yang, "Thank you for your advice."
As he said that, he was about to say goodbye and leave.
At this moment, someone asked outside.
...
"Is this an ideal car possible?" a man's voice.
"It's an ideal car dealer, who are you looking for?" Pan Yang replied.
"Is Mr. Pang Yuan and Mr. Pang here?" the man outside replied.
Pan Yang showed surprise.
Koizumi Nobuzawa's eyes also shrank:
This person is also here to find Pang Yuanju?
...
Cheng Qianfan put down the book "Mr. Wang's important speech" in his hand. He watched Haozai push the door and show a look of surprise on his face, "Haozai, when did he arrive?"
Then he saw the strange man beside Haozi, and was a little surprised, so he nodded and said hello.
"The train last night was delayed on the way in the provincial capital (Zhenjiang) and I only arrived at Xiaguan (Train Station) this morning." Haozai said.
He pointed to the man beside him and said, "I went to Ideal Car Store to find Manager Pang as stated in Brother Fan's telegram. Unexpectedly, Manager Pang was not here. Mr. Xiao happened to say that he was coming to find Brother Fan and had something to do, so he brought me over."
"Mr. Xiao, thank you." Cheng Qianfan thanked the man enthusiastically, and at the same time he also raised his mind with caution:
Haozi met this person at the Ideal Car Store, and this person was looking for him.
With a little connection between time, place, and characters, Cheng Qianfan had reason to suspect that this "Mr. Xiao" was probably from Mei's agency.
Strangely strange-
In order to avoid arousing Chu Mingyu's suspicion and alertness about his identity, Toshihiko Okada has always met him in person and never pretended to be others.
Why did this "Mr. Xiao" come to see him this time?
Why didn't Okada Toshihiko come?
Is there something that can't be left?
Even if Toshihiko Okada has something to do, it should be Pang Yuanju who came to find him, not the strange Mr. Xiao in front of him.
...
"Mr. Xiao has something to ask me?" Cheng Qianfan asked politely.
"There are some things that are related to Tian Xiang. I'm here to ask for advice." Koizumi Nobuzawa said politely despite his impatient heart.
"Life Tian Xiang?" Cheng Qianfan stared at the other party's eyes, as if he was trying to confirm something.
"Yes, Tian Xiangli of Xinda Trading." Koizumi Nobuzawa nodded, "He and Manager Pang of Ideal Cars came to visit Mr. Cheng yesterday."
Hearing that "Mr. Xiao" said, Cheng Qianfan's expression became solemn. He said to Haozai, "Haozai, wait outside, don't let someone disturb me and Mr. Xiao's conversation."
"Yes." Haozai agreed, immediately exited the ward, and brought it to the door.
...
"Who are you?" Cheng Qianfan looked at 'Mr. Xiao' with a serious expression.
"Mei Department, the first-class secretary of the Public Union, Koizumi Nobuzawa." Koizumi Nobuzawa said, "The famous 'Ziao Cheng' has long been famous."
"So it's Mr. Koizumi." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "Mr. Koizumi has something to ask me for?"
Koizumi Nobuzawa was surprised because he noticed that when he revealed his identity, the Chinese didn't seem to care too much. Although he was not hostile, he did not see the kind of flattery and humiliation of the Chinese when facing the officers of the Imperial Japanese Empire from Cheng Qianfan.
"Is Officer Okada asking me for something?" Cheng Qianfan asked again.
When he said this, his tone and expression were obviously much more respectful, which made Koizumi Nobuzawa look at this guy more. The attitude of the famous Shanghai "Mr. Xiao Cheng" towards the imperial personnel seemed to depend more on the other party's identity and status.
Of course, this different treatment also made Koizumi Nobuzawa quite uncomfortable.
...
"Did the director and Pang Yuanju visit Mr. Cheng yesterday?" Nobuzawa Koizumi asked.
"Yes, the director and Manager Pang came to the hospital in the morning." Cheng Qianfan said.
He noticed that the man next to Koizumi Nobuzawa took out the paper and pen from his briefcase and started recording very formally.
Cheng Qianfan couldn't help but frown, "Mr. Koizumi, is this?"
"Mr. Cheng, please answer me according to the truth, and you don't need to ask more questions about the others." Koizumi Nobuzawa said with a cold expression.
In his eyes, the fundamental identity of the "Xiao Cheng General" in the French Concession and the nephew of Chu Mingyu, the important minister of the Wang family, was only a Chinese.
When facing his questions, the Chinese are not qualified to enjoy a gentle and equal attitude.
...
Nobuzawa Koizumi has been paying attention to Cheng Qianfan's expression.
He thought that Cheng Qianfan would be angry and angry, but he believed that the "Xiao Cheng" in the French Concession did not dare to have any confrontation or concealment attitude.
However, Koizumi Nobuzawa was surprised at this moment. He noticed a flash of anger in Cheng Qianfan's eyes, then looked at it with a playful look, and finally a strange smile, which seemed not as angry as he expected.
"Mr. Koizumi, please continue." Cheng Qianfan said.
"How long has the director stayed in the hospital and when did he leave?" asked Nobuzawa Koizumi.
"It will take about half an hour." Cheng Qianfan said, then he raised his wrist and looked at the time of the watch. "As for when he left, I'm not sure. It should be between 10:3 in the morning and 1:10 a.m.."
"Why is such a time range determined and the reason?" Nobuzawa Koizumi asked.
"When talking to the director, a nurse pushed the door and sent the thermos. I looked at the time, it was about 10:30," said Cheng Qianfan. "I didn't pay attention to when the director left, but after a while, I was about to take a nap and looked at the time, it was 11:10."
Koizumi Nobuzawa nodded, and the nib of the pen in his hand wandered quickly on the paper, making a brush-brushing sound.
...
"Have the director told you where he will go after leaving the hospital? What will he do? Who will he go with?" asked Nobuzawa Koizumi.
"No." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "Where will the director go, how could he tell me?"
"Mr. Cheng, think about it carefully. Please answer this question truthfully and carefully." Koizumi Nobuzawa said seriously.
Cheng Qianfan was a little surprised, and he asked Koizumi Nobuzawa, "Unless the director took the initiative to mention it to me, Mr. Koizumi thought how could I find out about the whereabouts of the director?"
Koizumi Nobuzawa was inevitably disappointed. It seemed that he understood and mastered the whereabouts of the office director from Cheng Qianfan, and basically confirmed that this method would not work.
He glanced at Cheng Qianfan, thought for a moment, and suddenly made up his mind not to hide it anymore.
"To be honest, I have a situation to tell you." Koizumi Nobuzawa said, looking at Cheng Qianfan's eyes, "Boss Okada and Pang Yuanju are both missing."
"Missing?" Cheng Qianfan was obviously shocked by the news. He stutteredly asked Koizumi Nobuzawa, "Mr. Koizumi, are you talking about the office director. Is the office director missing?"
He was really surprised. This was an "emergency" that he had never expected.
Nobuzawa Koizumi has been paying attention to the facial expressions of Cheng Qianfan, especially his eyes. He has always insisted that a person's eyes can most truly reflect his inner reactions.
Koizumi Nobuzawa noticed that Cheng Qianfan's eyes were shocked, but also expressed concern.
This person is quite concerned about Minister Okada, and for a Chinese, he is already loyal.
...
"Yes, the whereabouts of the chief after leaving the hospital yesterday morning were unknown." Koizumi Nobuzawa said, "There was a very important meeting in the Public Union Room this morning, but the chief has not appeared until now."
"Will there be something temporarily delayed?" Cheng Qianfan asked with a frown.
"This is also something we need to investigate." Koizumi Nobuzawa said, looking at Cheng Qianfan with a serious expression, "Mr. Cheng, I hope you think about it carefully. We need you to provide some clues as much as possible to help us find the director."
"I will do my best." Cheng Qianfan nodded hurriedly, "I am willing to provide all the help I can, but..."
He frowned, "But, I really don't know where the director went after leaving the hospital."
As he said that, his eyes lit up, "Where is Pang Yuanju? Did he ever say where the director went?"
"I just said that Pang Yuanju and the chief officer disappeared together." Koizumi Nobuzawa said, with a little impatient tone.
"Mr. Koizumi has been to the Ideal Car Store before, and it seems that she has already asked the people from the Car Store." Cheng Qianfan thought and said.
"Yes." Koizumi Nobuzawa nodded, "The car dealer is not sure where Pang Yuanju is going."
He looked at Cheng Qianfan, "So, I hope Mr. Cheng will think about it carefully and provide some valuable clues."
Before Koizumi Nobuzawa finished speaking, he heard Cheng Qianfan say decisively—
"It must have been kidnapped by No. 76!"
