Chapter 855: A pair of mother and son
Kenji Doihara and Yunko Takeuchi also brought gifts, which was a ceremony for Japanese people to visit. Some Japanese pastries are not worth the money.
It seems that Kenji Doihara did some research before visiting.
He is the leader of a spy, and being cautious and suspicious is like a pair of brothers' conflicts appearing on a person, and being careful is also the key to his ability to become a spy master.
Kenji Doihara is an invader. Lu Xiyan knew very well that their positions were naturally opposed, but in some aspects, the enemy was also a role model for you to learn from.
Kenji Doihara and Lu Xiyan are still very different from the Japanese people he has come into contact with and knows. He is somewhat similar to Kiyoshi Akagi.
Both of them are very low-key and restrained, and seem to be very reasonable.
When he reaches his level, it is necessary to reason, because they are in high positions and their words and deeds will have a great impact on Japan's image.
On the contrary, middle-level officers like Asano, Nakajima and even Hattori will have limited influence unless they do something that both humans and gods are angry.
Of course, Lu Xiyan could not take advantage of Kenji Doihara. He took a box of Longjing tea from Mingqian as a return gift. In terms of value, it was far more than the few boxes of desserts brought by Kenji Doihara.
Kenji Doihara seems to like the gifts Lu Xiyan gave him very much. After all, giving each other gifts is a good start for a pair of strangers.
As for what he was thinking, it was unknown.
Kenji Doihara and Yunko Takeuchi didn't stay for long, and only took about half an hour to go. They had no words to say for the first time. They just kept a little wary and tried each other.
This can be felt by Lu Xiyan and Kenji Doihara.
Of course, Kenji Doihara was more sophisticated, while Lu Xiyan was young and was a little restrained in dealing with it. This is not surprising at all.
If Lu Xiyan also showed calmness and coping with it easily, it would make Kenji Doihara suspicious.
Of course, Lu Xiyan didn't know that Kenji Doihara came here to inspect him this time. After all, his current identity is already of great importance.
In addition to his status in the French Concession, he also has close relationships with Zhou Fuhai, the second-ranked figure of the Wang Group. All of this deserves attention and seriousness from the Japanese side, and the value of winning is greater.
The adjustment of the policy of Japan's base to China has been irreversible. After the failure of the Changsha Battle, the strategy of "conquering China by force" was criticized by most people in China. China's hinterland is full of places with high mountains and miasma. Although it has resources, it is unable to develop it. Such places cannot occupy a large number of troops and extend Japan's front line.
Given the huge fiscal deficit of the Japanese government today, it has no power to launch a large-scale ground war. (The funding ratio of the Japanese land and navy is different, and the navy has always been limited. In fact, the Japanese army's military has always been only a third-rate compared to Western countries. Of course, China at this time is even worse than that of the third-rate)
It is basically difficult to achieve the goal of "fighting war" in the base camp, so it is proposed to use military means to solve the China problem and instead seek "political inducement of surrender". If the Chongqing government can surrender, Japan can withdraw from China's war quagmire.
Then it is necessary to support a puppet government to compete with Chongqing.
However, this puppet government cannot be the only one with the Wang family, but also others must exist. A single tree cannot make a forest, and the Wang family alone cannot support the big puppet government.
The Japanese side also needs to firmly control this puppet government and must interfere in the affairs of the so-called new government and directly arrange Japanese personnel to enter the new government to serve important positions. This is one aspect, and it also means influencing and installing some influential Chinese people close to Japan to join the new government.
There is no doubt that Lu Xiyan was valued by the Japanese side, and it was a long time ago.
Kenji Doihara was on the desk of Geokuto's study. The relevant information and news reports about Lu Xiyan were almost one foot thick. Of course, this was just the surface.
As long as you are interested, it is not difficult to collect.
"Yunzi, what do you think?" When he went back, Kenji Doihara called Takeuchi Yunzi into his car.
"Yunzi's intuition, Dr. Lu still seems to have some good feelings for you, but he is still resisting it in his heart." Takeuchi Yunzi said after considering it.
"What to resist?"
"Dr. Lu's parents died in the bombing of our plane, and after the Lu family's pharmaceutical factory in Zhabei was blown up, it was temporarily occupied by us and has not been returned yet." Takeuchi Yunko explained.
"Well, this is indeed one of the reasons why he resisted me." Kenji Doihara nodded.
"Also, his wife was once suspected of being an underground party member. Asano Jun was alive and had been investigating this matter." Takeuchi Yunko said.
"Is there any result?"
"No, Asano Jun did not find it." Takeuchi Yunko said.
"Dr. Lu's wife, Miss Meng Fanxing, has been back in Shanghai for almost two years. In two years, he has not found anything. Is there anything to doubt?" Kenji Doihara asked.
"Asano Jun has always believed in her intuition, and there were indeed many doubts about Meng Fanxing's appearance at that time. For example, why did she not go home as soon as possible when she returned to Shanghai, but lived with Dr. Lu, and the unexpected intersection between Dr. Lu and the Iron Blood Anti-Traitors' later, is questionable." Takeuchi Yunko explained.
An unmarried woman lives with a man, even if she is his fiancé, you will not allow this in traditional Chinese families.
What's more, Meng Fanxing suddenly returned to Shanghai after three years of disappearance, and she was followed by Ichiro Asano again, which is a coincidence.
"Also, we also found that Meng Fanxing is not weak. This fact can prove that she is definitely not an ordinary woman." Takeuchi Yunko said.
"The key is the three years of disappearance, right?" Kenji Doihara said, "Have she ever told the public that she has been to set up a place in the past three years and what has she done?"
"No, we really want to know her past. Asano Jun also conducted relevant investigations, but at that time, Shanghai had just calmed down and there were mixed people. We just found a steamship she was on from Qingdao to Shanghai. However, after we sent someone to Qingdao to investigate, we found that Qingdao was just her transfer station and did not find her life in Qingdao."
"The clue is broken?"
"Yes, because many things cannot be left, we can only entrust our colleagues over there to conduct an investigation. Therefore, we still don't know the life trajectory of Meng Fanxing's three-year missing life." Takeuchi Yunko said.
"A young girl went home after disappearing for three years, but she didn't seem to be hurt too much. This looks a bit incredible. As you said, Meng Fanxing is an unusual woman. It is indeed doubtful. Asano Jun's investigation of her is correct and necessary. In this way, in two days, Lin Shiqun and Wang Tianheng on the 76th will accompany Wang to Qingdao. You can also send someone to go with her."
"Then let Nakajima go. He has been with Asano for the longest time and is more familiar with the situation." Takeuchi Yunko thought for a moment and nodded.
"Okay, Yoshiko said, she misses you very much. Knowing that you are afraid of the cold, you have specially customized a fox fur for you. Come and pick it up at night." Kenji Doihara gently grabbed Takeuchi Yunko's hand and rubbed it.
"Yes, teacher." Takeuchi Yunko's eyelids blinked slightly, lowered her head and agreed.
...
Seeing Kenji Doihara and Yunko Takeuchi's car leave, Lu Xiyan breathed a long sigh of relief and must admit that he felt a little nervous when he met an intelligence expert like Kenji Doihara.
This kind of person is harmless on the surface, but in fact he can understand other people's thoughts best and discover your flaws from the details. He doesn't know what Kenji Doihara saw today, but he has a feeling that this is just the beginning and they will meet again in the future.
"Sir, is this Doihira Kenji?"
"What's wrong?"
"It's not like it, it's different from what I imagined." Yan Lei shook his head.
"Oh, why isn't it like this? Tell me, let's talk." Lu Xiyan laughed silently and asked.
"This Doihara Kenji is a Japanese Army Lieutenant General. He is in a high position and should have a cold face. He is serious and intimidating. He is also the leader of Japanese intelligence. What kind of cold feeling should be?" Yan Lei said, "Why do I feel like a rich man in the countryside?"
"Hahaha, in fact, this is all you imagined. Who stipulates that the spy leader must be ruthless, just like a creature in the dark, as if he can't stand the light?" Lu Xiyan laughed.
"I just thought about it casually, but who knew that I was a little disappointed when I saw it."
"No, you should be more vigilant. This kind of Doihara Kenji is even more terrifying. If he is what you said, then he is not that worried. Just have a saying?" Lu Xiyan said seriously.
"What?"
“It can bite people…”
"Don't bark if you can bite people!" Yan Lei said it first.
"Although this metaphor is somewhat inappropriate, it makes sense. From now on, we must pay attention to this person." Lu Xiyan said solemnly.
"Do you want to notify Brother Wu and monitor his whereabouts?"
"No, it's useless to monitor such people's whereabouts. Instead, they will alert the snake. Just pay attention." Lu Xiyan shook his head and said.
"yes."
"Sir, there is a mother and son outside the door, wearing mourning clothes, saying that he wants to see you." Lao Ma suddenly came in from outside and reported.
"Mother and son, are you wearing mourning clothes, telling your identity and purpose?" Lu Xiyan was extremely surprised when he arrived.
"I didn't say it, the woman only said that it was his husband, and he refused to say anything else." Lao Ma shook his head.
"Sir, I'll go and have a look?" Yan Lei said.
"Yes." Lu Xiyan nodded.
In about three or five minutes, Yan Lei brought a young woman in plain clothes and a boy who was only four or five years old into his living room.
When the woman saw Lu Xiyan, she knelt down with a thud.
"Yan Lei, what's going on?" Lu Xiyan was startled and asked Yan Lei with wide eyes.
"Sir, this is Li Mi's outer room, and their children." Yan Lei introduced, "Just as Li Mi surpassed the first seventh, their mother and son were kicked out by Li Mi's official room."
"Please make the decision for us, mother and son!" The woman knelt on the ground and cried.
