The Japanese Consulate General stationed in Shanghai, the Office of Deputy Counselor and Special Assistant of the Consul General.
"Professor Taniguchi is from Kobe. He adds two more Kobe dishes to let the professor feel the taste of his hometown." Imamura Hitotaro said with a smile holding a microphone.
"It has been arranged, and Imai Shunro cooks in person." Kogoro Imamura said.
"Very good." Imamura Hitaro nodded with satisfaction. Damasaburo is the chef of a high-end Japanese restaurant on Desway Road. This person is from Kobe and is very good at Kobe cuisine.
Bangbang.
A knock on the door sounded.
"That's it." Hitotaro Imamura hung up the phone, looked in the direction of the office door, "Come in."
Naito Xiaoyi pushed the door and looked panicked.
"Mr. Counselor, something happened."
"I'm so panicked, what's the point?" Imamura Hitotaro glared at Koyu Naito with a calm face, "What's wrong?"
"Sakamoto-kun called and Professor Taniguchi was assassinated." Naito Koi said hurriedly.
"What?" Imamura Hitaro was shocked.
"Sakamoto-kun has been busy calling your office, and then he called me." Koyi Naito helped Hitotaro Imamura put on a windbreaker and jacket, handed him the hat, and followed Hitotaro Imamura and said while walking.
"What's the specific situation?" Imamura Hitaro's expression was gloomy. "How is Professor Taniguchi now?"
"Attacked at the door of Sakura Guesthouse, a gunman shot directly at close range, and Professor Taniguchi was shot twice." After pausing, Naito Koyi looked embarrassed and said, "The professor was shot in the neck and in the abdomen. The situation is very unoptimistic, I'm afraid..."
"Bagh duck!" Imamura Hitotaro, who has always been polite and elegant, also cursed irritably, "Prepare the car."
"yes!"
...
At this moment, the phone ringing on the desk rang, and Naito Koi rushed up and picked up the microphone.
"I am Naito Koi, and Mr. Counselor is by my side."
"I understand." Naito Koe-e hung up the phone and looked at Hitotaro Imamura. "The call from Sakamoto-kun has sent Professor Taniguchi to the Imperial Army Hospital for rescue."
"Where is the gunman?" asked Hitotaro Imamura.
"Sakamoto-kun didn't say that there was a mess over there." Naito Koyu said.
"Go to the Army Hospital."
"Hayi."
The two hurriedly left the office. Just as they left, a phone ringing sound came from behind, but they didn't care about going back to answer the phone.
...
Japanese Army Hospital stationed in Shanghai.
Seeing a car flying an imperial flag rushing towards him, Japanese soldiers at the checkpoint were preparing to intercept him.
A Japanese sergeant ran over quickly and made a gesture to the sentry to let go.
"Is it Imamura Counselor?" The sergeant saluted, "Please come with me."
Imamura Hitaro came out of the operating room with the Japanese sergeant and his assistant Naito Koetsu, and saw the lost Ryono Sakamoto.
"Bastard!" Imamura Hitaro grabbed Sakamoto Ryono's collar, and he was just scratching his ears.
"Are you awake now?" He looked at Ryono Sakamoto angrily.
"Hayi."
"I hit you not only because Professor Taniguchi was assassinated, but also because of your condition just now that I was angry." Hitotaro Imamura said coldly, "Do you understand?"
"Hayi."
"How is Professor Taniguchi's situation?" Hitotaro Imamura asked directly.
At this moment, the lights in the operating room went out, and several doctors walked out, behind them was the operating bed. There was a person lying on the bed, covered with white cloth.
"I am Imura Hitaro Imamura, deputy counselor of the Imperial Consulate General in Shanghai. The injured are famous scholars of the Imperial..."
"Counselor Imamura." A middle-aged military doctor interrupted Imamura Hitaro's words, "This gentleman was already dead when he was sent to the hospital. This gentleman could not accept this result and beg us to continue to rescue him."
As he said that, he pointed to Ryono Sakamoto, showing a helpless expression.
"Thank you for your hard work." Imamura Hitotaro was extremely angry, but he did not get angry with the doctors and said with a slight bow.
...
Imamura Hitaro walked to the bed, lifted up the white cloth, and then saw the face of the body.
There was a significant gunshot wound on the neck of Kayaguchi Kuanyuki.
Imamura Hitaro continued to pull Baibu away and saw the wound on his abdomen.
Both gunshot wounds were fatal.
This was the first time he had met this famous scholar in the empire, Professor Hiroyuki Taniguchi's advisor, who planned to hold a banquet to welcome Hiroyuki Taniguchi tonight. He even called Kentaro Miyazaki to attend the dinner, intending to surprise the teachers and students, but he did not expect that it would be such a desolate scene now.
"Tell me, what happened?" Hitotaro Imamura asked in a deep voice.
Kitani Kitani is a famous scholar with a reputation in the cabinet. Something happened as soon as he arrived in Shanghai and was assassinated at the door of the guesthouse of the Consulate General. In this way, he was responsible.
At this time, Ryono Sakamoto, who was shaved two big ears, became clearer. While he was thinking about memories, he told the story.
At the same time, Hitaro Imamura would intervene and ask questions.
"You mean, the assassination gunman is a Westerner?" Imamura Hitaro was surprised.
"It's a young man with European faces," said Sakamoto Ryono. "This man pretended to be a camera, which attracted Professor Taniguchi's attention, and then suddenly pulled out his gun to shoot."
His face was filled with pain, "It happened so suddenly that we didn't have time to react."
...
Imamura Hitaro had a calm face. He wanted to scold him, and even had the urge to shave his hands again. However, considering Sakamoto Nagayuki's face, he forced himself to hold it back.
Imamura Hitaro forced himself to control his anger and calm down.
"The gunman did not shout slogans, did not do anything else, just shoot directly?" Hitotaro Imamura stared at Ryono Sakamoto and asked.
"No, just shoot." Sakamoto Ryono shook his head.
Imamura Hitaro fell into deep thought.
There was no slogan or other unnecessary actions, which did not seem to be a political assassination.
It's more like coming directly at Professor Hiroyuki Taniguchi?
However, Taniguchi Kusato's apparent identity is just a famous scholar and has not directly participated in the war. Why did such an influential public figure attack Taniguchi?
In addition, there is an extremely important point, that is:
One of the pedestrians from the valley mouth was just arrived in Shanghai. Even if the other party wanted to attack Gukou Kuai for some purpose, how did they know where Gukou Kuai Kuai was?
Imamura Hitaro frowned.
...
"Where are the students of Taniguchi-kun?" asked Imamura Hitaro.
"Miss Haruko fainted from fright, and the others were also frightened. I arranged for them to wait in the guesthouse for a while." Ryono Sakamoto said.
"Didn't you ask to come to the hospital with the car?" Imamura Hitaro immediately caught a key problem.
Ryono Sakamoto thought for a while, "Maybe he was frightened. I let them stay in the guesthouse, and they didn't make any other comments."
Imamura Hitaro shook his head gently, this was not normal.
"Where is the assassination gunman?" he asked.
"This man shot and assassinated Professor Taniguchi, which attracted the attention of the soldiers in the guesthouse. There was a gunfight between the two sides. The gunman was shot many times and was captured by Captain Morimoto of the guesthouse and interrogated."
After pausing for a moment, Ryono Sakamoto continued, "Captain Morimoto said, that gunman is no longer possible."
"Why didn't I send it to the hospital for emergency treatment?" Naito Koyi interjected.
"Captain Morimoto judged that this person would die soon and could not be saved. He said he would hurry up and interrogate him." Ryono Sakamoto said.
Imamura Hitaro sighed deeply, walked in place for a moment, and said, "Nito, call the Consulate General and ask Hojo to go to the guesthouse to participate in the interrogation and get the first-hand interrogation confession."
Hojo Hideho was a second-class military officer in the Military Attendant Office of the Imperial Consulate General in Shanghai. Most importantly, Hojo also has another identity. He is a confidant of Imamura Hitotaro and is also a secret member of the Iwai Mansion.
"Hayi!"
...
"Uncle Imamura, it was because of my poor protection that led to Professor Taniguchi's assassination."
After Naito Koi left, Ryono Sakamoto said guilty and depressed.
"Although I am really angry," Hitotaro Imamura glanced at Ryono Sakamoto and shook his head and said, "But strictly speaking, Taniguchi's assassination has little to do with you."
As he said that, he sighed, "Who could have thought that someone would be so cruel to the unarmed Guru Taniguchi."
At this moment, Hitaro Imamura had calmed down and could view this matter more rationally. He admitted that he had not done enough security work for Taniguchi Hiroyuki, but this did not seem to be the fault of security.
Because, as he said just now, I never thought that anyone would attack a famous unarmed scholar like Taniguchi Kuanzhi.
"Uncle Imamura." Sakamoto Ryono glanced at Kitanikura, who had become a corpse, and sighed, "Professor Taniguchi was killed, Miyazaki Kwan..."
Imamura Hitaro also sighed, Yes, Taniguchi Hiroyuki was killed, he needed to inform Miyazaki Kentaro of the bad news.
What a pity, he originally planned to surprise the unexpected meeting of the teachers and students tonight.
Kentaro is a person who respects his teachers very much. He will definitely be very sad when he suddenly hears this bad news.
"I will call to notify Kentaro." Imamura Hitotaro said in a deep voice.
At this moment, Naito Xiaoyi, who had just called, came back.
"Mr. Report to the Counselor, I have notified Hojo to go to the Sakura Guesthouse." Naito Koi said.
Then he showed a strange expression and said, "One more thing."
"What's wrong?" asked Hitaro Imamura.
...
"Report to the counselor," said Naito Koi, "When we left the Consulate General, the phone in your office rang, it was from Miyazaki Kan."
"Kentaro?" Imamura Hitotaro shook his head slightly. He guessed that Kentaro Miyazaki called to inquire about the dinner. This was a careful guy. Most likely, he was unable to take any gifts, so he wanted to find out the news.
"Miyazaki Kun went to Shi Department Store to choose gifts first, and was assassinated when he left the department store." Naito Koi said.
"What?" Hitaro Imamura was almost doubting something was wrong with his ears, "You said Kentaro was assassinated?"
"Yes." Naito Koi said, "Miyazaki Kan was assassinated at the door of the department store. Fortunately, his men reacted in time and shot the gunman."
Imamura Hitaro was silent, his face changed repeatedly.
"Who did it?" he asked.
"Miyazaki Jun said that the assassination was a subordinate of Xia Wenqiao." Naito Koi said.
"Xia asked Qiao's people?" Imamura Hitaro was puzzled, "Isn't this person working with him?"
"I don't know the specific situation for the time being." Naito Koei said, "Miyazaki's phone was answered by Saito Kwan. He called to inform you of the matter to the counselor. He said that the incident happened suddenly and he wanted to investigate the matter, and he might not be able to attend to tonight's dinner."
Imamura Hitaro's face was gloomy. After thinking for a while, he said to Naito Koi, "Nito, you go to see Miyazaki secretly and ask about the relevant situation carefully."
"Hayi."
...
The deputy general manager of the police station in the Central District of the French Concession and the famous Mr. Xiao Cheng were assassinated at the door of Xianshi Department Store. This incident immediately alarmed the police station in the public concession.
"Deputy General Chief Cheng, this gunman..." Anthony, the British inspector in the old gate arrest room, pointed to the body of the gunman who was being transported away by a car, and his face was unhappy.
The corpse was shot more than a dozen times, especially the abdomen, and it was like being beaten into a hornet's nest.
He had just inquired about the situation from some of the three-light codes watching around him. After Xiao Cheng survived the disaster, he fired many guns in succession.
"I'm worried that he is not dead." Xiao Cheng always held a cigarette in his mouth, his expression was cold, and he said lightly, "I'll make up for a few more shots."
After saying that, he looked at Anthony as provocatively, "What? Is there a problem?"
"Deputy General General Cheng, this is the public concession, not the central area of ​​your French concession." Anthony lowered his voice, "You do not have the right to shoot and kill people here, and you should not abuse the test questions (non-typos!)!"
Cheng Qianfan squirted the ashes and grinned.
He just stared at Anthony, smiling at the same time.
Anthony frowned, he hated the smile, and he felt disrespectful.
Suddenly, the smile on Cheng Qianfan's face disappeared instantly.
Xiao Cheng always looked at Anthony coldly, and a cold curve rose up at the corner of his mouth, "Mr. Anthony, you should be glad that I was not injured."
As he said that, he threw the cigarette butt on Anthony's horse boots, shook his head, and snorted, "I'm injured on your territory, I will demolish your old gate police room!"
Anthony was angry. He jumped up and kicked the cigarette butt on his horse boots away, pointed at Cheng Qianfan's nose and scolded, "Cheng Qianfan, you're crazy, do you know what you are talking about? You are provoking the British Empire."
...
"I'm crazy." Mr. Xiao Cheng gritted his teeth and grabbed Anthony's collar, and smoke sprayed out from his nostrils.
Anthony immediately felt a heat coming to his face.
"Someone wants to kill me!" Mr. Xiao Cheng said word by word, "Someone wants to kill me! Have you heard it?"
The police officers in the Laozha Police Station, including several Chinese arresters, and more than a dozen red-headed Asan. At this time, when they saw that their boss Anthony was caught by Mr. Xiao Cheng, they looked at each other in a collar. Then, some red-headed Asan raised their guns, and some looked left and right before raising their guns. After hesitating for a while, several Chinese arresters looked at each other a few times, then they raised their guns slowly.
Hou Pingliang, Li Hao, Lu Jiufan and others immediately raised their guns and pointed them at each other.
"Cheng Qianfan, you madman, I want to arrest you." Anthony was extremely angry.
"Let your man put down his gun." Cheng Qianfan let go of his hand, patted Anthony's cheek, and said coldly, "You should be very clear about the consequences of angering me."
