Manila, Wang Bin Street.

This is a street named in 1915 to commemorate Roman Wang Bin, a Chinese-Filipino mixed-race philanthropist. In the middle of the street, there is a monument to Roman Wang Bin.

This is not only Manila's Chinatown, but also one of Manila's commercial centers.

However, Wangbin Street was not spared from the bombing by the US Air Force.

The place was riddled with holes and was in dilapidated condition.

The bustling business scene of the past is gone forever.

After the war is over, I don't know how much effort it will take to recover.

Naoto Matsushiro and Urayo Ishigami got out of the car.

The two of them looked around nervously.

After making sure it was safe, they walked to a house and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened.

Urayo Ishigami recognized at a glance that this person was Shibuya Taniguchi's subordinate.

"Where are the things?" Li Zhifeng asked coldly.

The two of them turned back and took out two boxes from the car twice.

It looks very heavy.

I moved it indoors and opened it. The two boxes were all filled with golden gold.

Li Zhifeng checked and didn't say anything, just made a gesture of invitation.

This is where we evict guests.

Naoto Matsushiro and Urayo Ishigami didn't say much and quickly walked out.

After getting into the car again, Naoto Matsushiro couldn't help but ask: "Shibu Taniguchi, will you help us?"

"I don't know." Urayo Ishigami said in a daze: "At least he accepted the gold."

…

Standing at the window and watching the car leave, Meng Shaoyuan closed the curtains.

Li Zhifeng transported the gold to the basement, came up and took a few breaths: "What to do with the gold?"

"Just put it here first." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "It will be put to great use soon."

…

"Your Excellency, Commander, after several days of investigation, Ishigami Urayo and Matsushiro Naoto are indeed very suspicious."

Philippine Tenth Army Headquarters.

After Takuma Shintani finished his report, Masaharu Honma frowned: "Shintani-kun, your worries are not unreasonable. One is the commander of the military police and the other is the head of the secret service. If they are involved, what will happen?

It has become very troublesome, and the situation may even get out of control."

Takuma Shintani nodded: "It's not like things like this have never happened in the empire. Desperate people can easily turn into bloodthirsty beasts. Especially those who still have guns in their hands.

I am sure that the soldiers are loyal to the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor, but they do not know the truth and can easily be confused by their superior officers and take drastic actions."

In the final analysis, it’s just two words:

mutiny!

Once this situation occurs, this responsibility cannot be shouldered by one or two people.

"Not only that." Shintani Takuma's voice was also full of worry: "If the final result, the gold theft, has nothing to do with the two of them, it will also cause great confusion.

Naoto Matsushiro and Urayo Ishigami have served the empire for many years. They have done their best and there have been no problems before. Now? I suggest further investigation. There must be conclusive evidence."

"Order, speed up the investigation!" Honma Masaharu thought for a while: "At the same time, strengthen the surveillance of the military police and the secret service. I must work hard for you, Mr. Shintani!"

…

"Report, we have received intelligence that Manila rioters will carry out activities at Pier 3 tonight."

"Is the information accurate?"

"Yes, the intelligence is accurate. At the same time, they have internal agents at Pier 3. According to preliminary investigation, they will carry out large-scale sabotage activities at Pier 3."

Naoto Matsushiro immediately picked up the phone: "Order the military police to assemble and deploy defenses at Pier 3."

Put down the phone and picked up the command knife: "Let's go!"

…

Pier Three.

A noisy day has just ended.

Tired workers left the dock one after another.

At this time, under the direct command of Naoto Matsushiro, the military police had begun to deploy defenses at Pier 3.

Naoto Matsushiro is still a dedicated person.

Even though he is currently in trouble, work will always be work.

Those who stay on night duty at the dock have been strictly controlled.

Until those rioters are caught, everyone is suspect.

Time passes by minute by minute.

Evening, nine o'clock.

"boom"!

Suddenly, a crisp gunshot was heard outside the pier.

Matsushiro Naoto was shocked.

what happened?

"Bang bang bang"!

Three more gunshots were heard.

problem occurs!

Matsushiro Nao shouted loudly: "Go out, arrest!"

All the military police who were lying in ambush rushed out.

But just after those few gunshots, the night returned to calm.

Immediately, a shrill alarm sounded.

…

Manila, which is under curfew, is heavily guarded and the shooters cannot run away.

Soon, the man was caught.

He was a local, thin and trembling under the threat of the gendarme's bayonet.

"Your Majesty Commander, this was found on him."

A pistol was presented to Naoto Matsushiro.

Matsushiro Naoto looked at the person in front of him, and his first feeling was that there was absolutely no way this person had anything to do with the rioters.

"Say it."

Naoto Matsushiro said coldly: "Who instigated you to do this?"

"Some people hire me, some people hire me."

The man's legs were trembling and he quickly told the whole story.

His name is Offutt, a local.

Just one day ago, a stranger found him and promised him a large sum of money. All he had to do was fire a few shots near Pier 3 tonight.

Once the job is done, the stranger will give him a large sum of money.

Although it was very dangerous, Offutt gritted his teeth and agreed under the temptation of money.

He relied on the fact that he was a local, familiar with the road, and ran away after firing, so he would be able to escape.

But who would have thought that he still underestimated the gendarmerie.

He didn't get far before he was caught.

“Where is that person giving you follow-up money?”

Naoto Matsushiro is very experienced. Judging from the tone of the other party's words, this should not be false.

"I know I know."

Offutt, who only wanted to survive, said quickly: "I will take you there, I will take you there now."
