The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 521 Peng Nian Seeks Help
"Mr. Jin Ye, when did you meet Miss Chen Manli?"

"It was about two months ago. I don't remember the exact date. That night, she was dancing with someone. I saw her dancing beautifully and was shocked at the time. I wanted to get to know her..."

"In other words, Miss Chen Manli didn't know at first that Mr. Jinye was Japanese?"

"Yes, she didn't know and I didn't tell her. She also thought my last name was Jin and that I was a Chinese." Jin Yehong nodded.

"Mr. Jinye speaks Chinese so well, where did you learn it?" Cheng Mo asked curiously.

"Before I came to Shanghai, I worked in Manchukuo for a period of time. I learned Chinese during that time."

"Very good. Mr. Jinye has a very high talent for languages. He has been in Shanghai for less than three months and he can speak Shanghainese so fluently."

"Thank you for the compliment, Cheng Mojun."

"How did Miss Chen Manli know that you are Japanese?"

"Once I went to Paramount with a friend, and someone got drunk. He spoke Japanese, and my identity was exposed." Kanno Hiroshi said helplessly.

"Is your friend also an officer in the navy?"

"Yes, they are my colleagues. I have no choice. Manli was very angry when she found out. She thought I had deceived her. She said she would not dance with the Japanese, especially the Japs!"

puff!
It was the first time that Cheng Mo heard the word "Jap devils" from a Japanese naval officer, and he almost spit out the tea in his mouth.

"I know you Chinese like to call us Japs."

"Mr. Kaneno, do you mind?"

"Of course I do mind, but I can understand that most people in the world are ignorant. They don't understand that the truth in this world is in the hands of a few people. So, they scold me and hate me because of their own ignorance. Why should I bother with some ignorant people?"

Cheng Mo was speechless. Jin Yehong's ideas were very different from those of ordinary people, but his ideas were very dangerous.

Because in his heart he regards aggression as a sacred cause, while the invaded countries and nations simply do not understand this sacred cause.

This kind of people have been completely brainwashed by "militarism".

But this kind of "person" seems to be able to understand the invaded countries, and he also thinks that these enslaved and invaded people will understand their behavior sooner or later...

These people are very extreme, but sometimes they may not agree with the Japanese army's practices of "burning, killing and looting". Doesn't it sound contradictory?

In fact, there is no contradiction. They believed that they occupied and ruled China for the good of the Chinese people and for the future of Japan. From a certain perspective, although they treated the Chinese as second-class citizens, they would be their own people in the future. It was wrong to carry out large-scale massacres and looting.

It is still unclear whether Kaneno Hiroshi is such a person. The devils in this world are likely to be very elegant gentlemen before revealing their cruelty.

Cheng Mo hoped that Jin Yehong was not such a person, in which case, he would have no choice but to give up.

"Mr. Jin Ye, can you tell us where you were and what you did on the night Miss Chen Manli was shot?" Cheng Mo asked.

"That night, I was drinking with my friends at Yoshinoya's izakaya. After drinking, we went our separate ways and went home to sleep. The guards of the Broadway Building, my friends, and the owner of the izakaya can all testify to this. We also invited a geisha to perform." Hiroshi Kanno answered the question directly.

"Okay, I don't have any other questions." Cheng Mo stood up and prepared to leave.

"Are you leaving now, Cheng Mojun?"

"Yes, I have asked all the questions I should ask. I will not disturb you anymore, Mr. Jinye, and waste your precious time." Cheng Mo bent down and bowed.

"Cheng Mojun and I hit it off right away. You're welcome to visit us often." Jin Yehong said, "I really like Chinese culture and art. They're so beautiful!" "As long as you like them." Cheng Mo smiled, but his heart was cold. If a robber likes something, he would snatch it into his hands. Such a liking is too shameless.

……

"Ah Le, how do you feel about Jin Yehong?"

"Elegant, paranoid, and a terrible devil living inside." After thinking for a moment, Lu Le gave Cheng Mo an extremely concise answer.

"Then do you think he murdered Chen Manli?"

"Not like."

"why?"

"If he wants to get Miss Chen Manli with all his efforts, why would he kill her? Besides, he doesn't have deep feelings for Miss Chen Manli."

"Chen Manli is multi-talented. For a Japanese like him who loves Chinese culture and art, it's easy to be fascinated by her. If he can't get her, he will destroy her. For someone with a paranoid personality, this is not surprising," said Cheng Mo.

"I think he dared to meet the boss at home and knew that the boss was investigating him. He was so calm. He doesn't seem like the mastermind behind it."

"What if he pretended all this?"

"I still don't think so. And boss, didn't you also think at the beginning that Chen Manli's death had nothing to do with Jin Yehong?" Lu Le asked back.

"Kin Yehong shouldn't lie, because I can investigate his whereabouts that night." Cheng Mo nodded, "But he suddenly stopped pestering Chen Manli, and the reason is still unclear."

"Didn't he say that since we can't force it, we can only let it go..."

"No, he is not a person who gives up easily. He thinks that Chen Manli is just a dancer and not worth his time and effort." Cheng Mo said, "Besides, he is an intelligence officer. If you were his superior, you would not let him do this if he was distracted from his job all day for a woman."

"Boss, I heard that Chen Manli is from the Military Control Commission. If Jin Yehong finds out her identity, will he kill her?
"After Chen Manli discovered Jin Yehong's Japanese identity, she wanted to cut off contact with him. If Chen Manli was a member of the Military Control Commission, why would she take the initiative to cut off contact? As long as she kept Jin Yehong hanging, wouldn't she have a steady stream of intelligence?"

"..."

"Boss, has the suspicion on Jin Yehong been ruled out?"

"It has not been completely ruled out. You continue to investigate Jin Yehong's past." Cheng Mo said, "Now that he knows we are investigating him, there is no need for you to be sneaky, and you don't have to worry about safety issues. If something happens to you, it will be like trying to cover up one's own faults."

"Yes."

……

What Cheng Mo didn't know was that after meeting with him, Peng Nian went straight back to No. 76. After dealing with Lin Shiqun, he went to Ding Mocun's house.

Although Ding Mo-jun was not at home, he waited for Ding Mo-jun to come back.

As soon as they met, Peng Nian shouted to Ding Mocun: "Director Ding, help me, Lin Shiqun wants to kill me!"

Ding Moqun was frightened by Peng Nian's shout. Peng Nian went to see Cheng Mo. What did Cheng Mo say to him? Or was he stimulated by something?
"Old Peng, how much have you drunk? What nonsense are you talking about?" Ding Moqun scolded.

"Director Ding, Old Ding, considering that you are in charge of No. 76 and I have been serving you wholeheartedly, you must save me this time no matter what!" Peng Nian had already started crying.

"Old Peng, what are you doing? Let's talk nicely. What's going on?" Ding Moqun was completely confused.
