Author: The bear skimming the treetops

On the way to Matsui Naoki's office, Hasegawa Taizo kept thinking about how to report this matter to the section chief.

The distance between upstairs and downstairs was only a few tens of meters, and it took three or four minutes to walk, thinking over and over in my mind various details of how to deal with it.

For this reason, he almost bumped into Section Chief Matsui's confidential secretary Kazuhiko Kuramoto in the corridor.

"I'm very sorry, Kuramoto-kun!" Hasegawa Taizo quickly bowed and apologized.

Kuramoto Kazuhiko waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hasegawa-kun, it's okay."

He was a very competent secretary and always smiled at everyone in the headquarters, but Taizo Hasegawa did not dare to be careless in the slightest. He still said a few words of apology until he watched the other person's back gradually go away.

With an anxious mood, I knocked on the door of Matsui Naoki's office.

"Come in!"

After hearing Matsui Naoki's voice, Hasegawa Taizo was immediately startled. Although the section chief only said two words, there was obvious joy in his tone.

He couldn't help but pinch the folder in his hand hard, and secretly complained that he had come at the wrong time. He had not seen the section chief smile in the past few days, so going in to report now would be like "announcement of funeral".

Hasegawa Taisan put his hand on the door handle and hesitated.

Finally, the door opened a crack.

"Oh, it's Hasegawa-kun, come in quickly."

For a moment, Naoki Matsui noticed him and waved him in.

"Hai!"

"Huzhou telegram?" Matsui Naoki's eyes fell on the folder in Hasegawa's hand. This kind of folder is usually used to submit telegrams sent by intelligence teams from various places to the headquarters.

Lincheng has lost contact, and the telegram in Hasegawa Taizo's hand is most likely from the direction of Huzhou.

"Section Chief, the telegram is from Lincheng." Hasegawa Taizo respectfully handed the telegram over.

"Nani?"

Matsui Naoki put on his gold-rimmed glasses, reached out to take the folder, and quickly browsed the messages.

Standing opposite the executive desk, Hasegawa Taizo stood up straight, his back was already wet, and his legs standing upright were trembling slightly.

The office was extremely quiet, you could almost hear a pin drop.

Hasegawa Taizo worked hard to adjust his breathing, calm down his emotions, raised his eyelids and secretly looked at Matsui Naoki who was sitting on the executive chair.

The helmsman of the extra-high school class had no expression on his face. He sat there as steady as Mount Tai.

However, Hasegawa Taizo knows that this moment is like the calm before the storm. If it is quiet for a few seconds, it will explode!

Ten seconds.

Twenty seconds.

Thirty seconds.

Every second, Hasegawa Taizo was undergoing tremendous suffering in his heart.

The moment he saw Matsui Naoki gently put the telegram on the executive desk, Hasegawa Taizo's whole body tensed up, and he paused and said: "Your Excellency, Section Chief, this is all due to the incompetence of our Third Intelligence Team. Please punish me."

!”

Matsui Naoki lowered his head slightly, looking over the top edge of the gold-rimmed glasses frame at the nervous Hasegawa Taizo.

After a while, Matsui Naoki leaned back and leaned on the backrest of the executive chair, slightly raising his chin and staring at Hasegawa Taizo. A pair of small eyes were hidden behind the lenses, making it difficult to see his eyes clearly. The fingers of his right hand were on

There was a gentle tapping on the table.

Hasegawa Taizo was trembling in his heart.

After a while, I heard Matsui Naoki say: "Are you sure the message was sent by Miura Kazuichi through the Shimizu Group's radio station?"

Why is the teacher concerned not with the content but with the method?

After being slightly stunned, Hasegawa Taizo quickly said: "I'm sure, I'm sure. There is a code at the beginning of this message that only two people, I and Team Leader Miura, can understand, and the frequency of the receiving station is also the same as the fixed frequency sent by the Shimizu team."

, there will be no mistake!”

Matsui Naoki nodded slightly and said: "Okay, I understand this matter. Listen to this frequency closely and report to me at any time if there is any situation."

After that, he lit a match and put the telegraph newspaper on top of the ashtray.

"Ah...Hai!" Hasegawa Taizo looked at the small dancing flames and a handful of ashes in the ashtray, becoming more and more confused.

By the time he left Matsui Naoki's office, his shirt was already soaked through.

Every minute and every second just now was a great torture.

What he couldn't understand was why Section Chief Matsui could be so calm in the face of the news that ten latent agents of the Super High School were publicly executed?

I won’t talk about the other agents, but Jiro Ikeda and Yoshitaku Kimura are both veteran agents. Their deaths are a huge loss to the Third Intelligence Group and the Special High School Division. Why is Section Chief Matsui indifferent?

Woolen cloth?

Until he returned to his office, Hasegawa Taizo didn't understand the reason.

He picked up the phone and called the person on duty at the radio station over and gave some instructions, basically to report as soon as there was any news about Team Leader Miura.

At this time, the attendant had something to remind him.

The person on duty said: "Deputy team leader, please rest assured, I will report to you as soon as possible like a confidential station."

The confidential station is a station that is responsible for important information and is directly responsible to Section Chief Matsui.

Thinking of the situation when he bumped into Kuramoto Kazuhiko in the corridor, Hasegawa Taizo suddenly realized.

General intelligence will be reported by the heads of the intelligence teams in charge of each region, while the confidential secretary is responsible for submitting telegrams and other important documents from the confidential station to Section Chief Matsui.

A sudden flash occurred in Hasegawa Taizo's mind——

Just now, Kazuhiko Kuramoto seemed to have an empty folder in his hand.

Before lighting the telegram sent by Team Leader Miura, there were already ashes in the ashtray on Matsui Naoki's desk.

This shows that before he entered the office, Kuramoto Kazuhiko most likely reported to Section Chief Matsui with a telegram, and the content of this telegram was about the latest situation in Lincheng.

Hasegawa Taizo punched the table fiercely. This is probably the most reasonable explanation.

No wonder Section Chief Matsui was so calm after seeing the telegram he took. It turned out that he had known about it for a long time.

No, no...

Hasegawa Taizo quickly denied himself.

Even if Matsui Naoki got the news first, he would not remain indifferent.

What the hell is going on?

Hasegawa Taizo rested his elbows on the table and gently rubbed his temples with his thumbs.

Based on his understanding of Section Chief Matsui, his boss is not the kind of person who keeps his emotions secret.

It's really too abnormal.

Could it be...

Could it be...???

Hasegawa Taizo made a bold guess in his mind——

The first telegram that Section Chief Matsui received not only contained the bad news of the executions of Jiro Ikeda and Yoshitaku Kimura, but there should also be good news!

Moreover, the value of the latter to the Super High Class is far greater than the loss of these ten agents.

But in such a bleak situation, what good news can there be?

Hasegawa Taizo was simply puzzled.

At the same time, Naoki Matsui sat in the executive chair with his eyes closed and meditative.

The general situation is indeed as Hasegawa Taizo guessed.

The two telegrams sent before and after were similar. Inaba Masao's telegram also mentioned the news of the public execution of Japanese spies such as Jiro Ikeda and Yoshitaku Kimura.

Inaba Masao said that he would further investigate the situation and report it.

The two intelligence chiefs sent back messages with roughly the same content at the same time, which is enough to prove the authenticity of the content.

The broken jade of Jiro Ikeda, Yoshitaku Kimura and others is indeed a big loss to the Special High School Course.

However, there is nothing that can be done about it. From the day they joined the special high school, they should have thought that there would be a day when they would devote themselves to the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor.

Naoki Matsui had no doubts about Inaba Masao's telegram.

But Miura Kazuichi's telegram always felt like something was wrong.

Although the Shimizu Group has always been under the leadership of Miura Kazuichi, according to confidentiality procedures, the Shimizu Group's radio station is not allowed to be used directly by Miura Kazuichi, except under extremely special circumstances.

Of course, the current situation is already considered extremely special.

However, since Kimura Yoshitaku was executed, how did Miura Kazuichi get the Shimizu Group's radio station?

When Matsui Naoki thought of this, his heart was once again enveloped by a different premonition.
