"Sagami-kun, we have been pursuing the weasel hidden in the empire for a long time, but we have made little progress." Kazunari Araki looked at Umezu Sagami and said, his expression was serious, "This person It is extremely harmful to the empire, and now our first priority is to catch this nasty mole."
As he spoke, he bowed slightly to Umezu Sagami, "Sakami-kun, please abandon your sectarian views for the time being. Let's work together to dig out this nail buried deep within the empire."
Umezu Sagami looked at Kazunari Araki. He did not respond immediately, but frowned.
A moment.
"Araki-kun, I personally agree in principle." He said to Araki Kazunari, "However, I need to ask Commander Ikeuchi for instructions on this matter first."
"Yes." Araki Kazunari nodded and said solemnly, "This person is very cunning. It is not easy to grasp a limited clue this time. I hope we can work together to seize this opportunity."
"Please also ask Sagami-kun to give me more advice and be accommodating to Ike's cabinet." As he said that, Araki Kazunari bowed slightly again.
Umezu Sagami looked at the respectful Araki Kazunari, and he had a vague suspicion in his mind. It seemed that the investigation of the traitor in Kanto Prefecture was not going smoothly, and Araki Kazunari was under great pressure.
It may even have seriously affected Araki and I, and Umezu Sagami guessed that this possibility is extremely high.
"Araki-kun, please relax, I will try my best to facilitate this matter." Umezu Sagami said.
About half an hour later, Sanami Umezu came back.
"Araki-kun, His Excellency Commander Ikeuchi agreed." Umezu Sagami said, "Your Excellency the Commander had a phone call with His Excellency General Moriya Gentaro and decided that we should immediately form a temporary joint investigation team, the 'Cat Team'."
"cat?"
"Yes, the cat that captures the weasel." Umezu Sagami nodded and stretched out his hand, "Araki-kun, I hope that we can work together and the 'cat team' can successfully capture the prey."
"Work together!" Araki Kazunari said with a serious expression.
He sighed in his heart. He was sent to Qingdao urgently by Lieutenant Colonel Nobuo Egashi of the Kanto Prefecture Independent Military Police Battalion.
Lieutenant Colonel Edo's plan is to secretly cooperate with Shanghai to uncover the mole hidden inside in order to prove the innocence of the Independent Military Police Brigade, or to take the initiative to dig out the rotten meat and restore the reputation of the Independent Military Police Brigade.
However, General Ikeuchi, the commander of the Shanghai Military Police, made a direct call to General Gentaro Moriya, the commander of the Kanto Prefecture Military Police. This matter became a cooperation between the Kanto Prefecture Military Police Command and the Shanghai Military Police Command. This was the result of Araki Kazunari and independent The gendarmerie brigade didn't want to see it.
In fact, when Umezu Sagami said he wanted to report to General Ikeuchi for instructions, Araki and Chengi already had this premonition.
However, now that things have come to this, I can only hold my nose and admit it.
The important thing is to find the mole!
Otherwise, this incident will always be a shadow over the Kanto Prefecture Independent Military Police Brigade, and the entire team will continue to be affected by this incident, and even be viewed through colored glasses by neighboring troops.
…
"What I took is a photo of Xu Baihe who was killed by our side in Qingdao as early as the 11th year of Showa." Umezu Sagami said and showed the photo to Araki Kazunari, "But Bu Daquan did not hesitate.
Recognize this person as Xu Qili."
"Of course, Bu Daquan only knows Xu Qili's pseudonym Xue Youtian."
"This shows that Xu Baihe and Xu Qili look very similar." He said to Araki Kazunari.
"This is exactly the reason why I came to Qingdao from Kanto Prefecture." Kazunari Araki said, "Qingdao made a portrait of Xue Youtian based on Bu Daquan's description. This portrait is very similar to the photo of Xu Baihe who was shot in the archives.
"Our ministry asked the Qingdao authorities to investigate Xu Baihe three and a half years ago, so they found that the two men looked very similar and immediately informed us."
He looked at Sanami Umezu, "Sanami-kun seems to have discovered something?"
"There are two points." Umezu Sagami said.
"First, according to a detail in Bu Daquan's confession, of course I also interrogated again today and confirmed that when Liao Hua, a red party member, saw Xu Qili, his expression was abnormal. He should be the kind of person he saw familiar.
But then I realized it was an expression of mistaken recognition.”
"That's right. It can be seen that Xu Baihe, who appears to be an agent of the Lixingshe Secret Service, is most likely a Red Party member." Araki Kazunari immediately said, "And we have always believed that the spy lurking within the empire is a Red Party member.
The secret was laid by the Manchuria Special Branch of the Party a long time ago."
He lit a cigarette, took a few deep puffs and then continued, "Xu Baihe is a Red Party member. We highly suspect that he is a spy from the Red Party who infiltrated the Lixingshe Secret Service. So, Xu Baihe, a Red Party member, and this Red Party member
The moles planted by Manchuria Teco have had contact with Kanto State, so this makes sense."
"It's a pity that Xu Baihe died as early as the eleventh year of the Showa era. Otherwise, as long as this person was caught, all the mysteries might have been solved long ago." Araki Kazunari sighed and said.
"About this Xu Qili, he and Xu Baihe look so similar, and both have the surname Xu, I suspect they are twins." Umezu Sagami said.
"I also have this speculation." Araki Kazunari said, and as he spoke, he asked, "Are there any clues about Xu Qili?"
"There are no clues. This person is from the military commander, and Bu Daquan is from the central government. The wariness between the two families is even more important than their guard against and hostility to the Red Party." Umezuzumi Sagami shook his head, "Bu Daquan doesn't
Know the whereabouts of Xu Qili."
"Moreover." Umezu Sagami frowned and said, "There is no way to confirm whether the name Xu Qili is his real name. Maybe it is also a pseudonym."
My dear, there will be more after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue. There will be more exciting things to come!
"It's not important. Only twins can be so similar. This in itself is enough to explain the problem." Araki Kazunari said. As he spoke, he put out his cigarette with a stern expression. "This means that the biggest clue now may be the red one."
Dang Liaohua has been infected, this person has been in contact with Xu Qili, and judging from his abnormal reaction when he saw Xu Qili, he probably knows Xu Baihe."
"There is another point that needs to be investigated urgently." Umezu Sagami said, "Thoroughly investigate the red party Liao Hua. Everyone and things he comes into contact with must be screened to see if this person has ever been to Kanto Prefecture. , or whether you have any experience of living in Manchuria, even if you have been to Manchuria and Kanto Prefecture briefly, this is the focus of the investigation."
"In addition, Bu Daquan suspected that Xu Qili was from Shanghai, so Xu Baihe may also be from Shanghai, or have experience of living in Shanghai." Araki and Cheng thought for a while, and added, "And Mole is likely to be the Manchurian Special Branch of the Red Party. person, then, could this Xu Baihe be also a member of the Red Party’s Manchuria Special Branch, or—”
He looked at Sanami Umetsuzumi with bright eyes, "Even, could this Xu Baihe have been a member of the Special Section of the Shanghai Red Party, but later went to Kanto Prefecture?"
"In an extreme case, is it possible that this person broke into the Lixingshe Secret Service in Shanghai, and then this Red Party spy was sent by Lixingshe to work in Kanto Prefecture or Qingdao?" Umezuzumi Sagami said.
The two looked at each other and smiled, feeling like a hero cherishing a hero.
The two of them talked to each other, giving full play to their wisdom and imagination in analyzing problems, and constantly improved and enriched various guesses and possibilities.
"Liao Hua must be cured at all costs." Araki Kazunari said, "This person is very crucial."
"One more thing." Umezu Sagami said, "Since Xu Qili participated in the rescue of Kui Yong, do you think he was from the Qingdao station of the military command, or was he a member of the military command from Chongqing?"
"From a time point of view, the Qingdao Station is the most likely." Araki and Cheng thought, and then his eyes lit up, "So, in addition to trying to pry open Liao Hua's mouth, we can also open a breakthrough from the Qingdao Station of the military command. "
…
A figure took a quick run and climbed over the wall.
After Cheng Qianfan ran quickly for a distance, he slowed down and walked slowly on the dim street.
When he came to the side door of Lido **, he carefully observed the surroundings. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he glanced at the corner outside the door where the drunkard was urinating and made a fuss. He untied his belt and tied it again. , while opening the door and walking in.
A drunk dancer staggered over and bumped into her. Cheng Qianfan's heart moved and he went up to hug the dancer.
"what?"
Cheng Qianfan said nothing and stuffed a few banknotes into the dancer's bra, "You agreed to dance with me all night, don't you be good?"
As he spoke, he lifted the dancer's chin with the fingers of his right hand, revealing an ambiguous smile.
"Hey, I came out to pee." The dancer took out the banknotes and stuffed them into her purse, opened her drunken eyes, and gave the man a wink, "Shhh, shhhh."
"I'm waiting for you here, hurry up." Cheng Qianfan rubbed the dancer's butt hard and said with a bad smile, "Go and pee."
"Oops, disgusting."
Seeing the dancer staggering out and squatting on the ground, taking off her pants and peeing, Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette and watched with a half-smile.
Two minutes later, he returned to the dance floor with his arms around the drunken dancer. He also took a glass of wine from the waiter's hand, drank a few sips himself, and then poured the remaining wine in the glass into the dancer's mouth, with a look of wantonness on his face. smile.
Just as he expected, the woman bent over and vomited out after being tortured.
Cheng Qianfan was 'shocked' and jumped away quickly, but was still splashed a little.
His face darkened, and he looked angrily at the dancer who was bending over and vomiting.
"Sir, I'm really sorry." The head waiter, Mommy, twisted her waist like a butterfly and hurriedly apologized to Cheng Qianfan, "Peony, take Cuidie to sober up."
"Disappointing." Cheng Qianfan said with a cold snort.
"Sir, would you like me to help you choose a well-behaved and smart girl?" the foreman said with a charming smile, "I will keep it to your satisfaction, sir."
"Forget it." Cheng Qianfan said, looking at the foreman up and down, "The beautiful jade is here, why look for another one?"
Saying that, he was about to step forward and hug her.
"Sir, you are drunk." The foreman's face darkened.
While he was talking, several thug-like men in suits and leather shoes gathered around him.
Cheng Qianfan took a quick look, with an inexplicable smile on his lips, pointed at the foreman, shook his head, snapped his fingers, took a glass of wine from the approaching waiter, and walked away staggeringly.
"Sister Jin, are you okay?" The leading thug looked at Cheng Qianfan, who was already sitting on the sofa far away drinking, with fierce eyes, "Do you want it?"
"It's okay, he's just a drunkard." Sister Jin looked at the man's back and said coldly, "Let's just assume he's wise enough to open the door for business, forget it."
…
Qiao Chuntao brought Mao Xuanyi to Lido **, and the two of them glanced at the noisy dance floor.
"Don't worry, let's dance first." Qiao Chuntao stopped Mao Xuanyi who was looking around.
Mao Xuanyi understood.
The two of them each spent money to choose a dancer and sneaked into the dance floor.
Just dance.
Qiao Chuntao held a wine glass in her hand and took a sip from time to time while strolling in the dim ballroom.
Soon, he saw Cheng Qianfan lying drunk on a sofa in the corner.
Qiao Chuntao did not rush over, but paid for a few more glasses of wine. Then she pretended to be drunk and sat down on the back of the sofa next to Cheng Qianfan.
"Fourth cousin." Qiao Chuntao leaned on the sofa with Cheng Qianfan beside her and whispered.
"Brothers, have you made arrangements?" Cheng Qianfan lay on the gap between the sofa, cleverly covering his cheeks, and whispered.
"Wu Shunjia, Mao Xuanyi and I opened the hotel first, and the other six brothers settled in separate places." Qiao Chuntao said, "Wu Shunjia stayed behind. According to the arrangement of the chief minister, I brought Mao Xuanyi over."
"Weapons situation." Cheng Qianfan said.
"The Japanese conducted strict checks at the port and threw their pistols into the sea when they got off the ship," Qiao Chuntao said.
Cheng Qianfan hummed. The meeting of the Three Giants was held in Qingdao. The Japanese must be stricter than ever in their interrogation of passengers.
"Find a way to get guns and ammunition." Cheng Qianfan said.
"Yes!" Qiao Chuntao said.
Cheng Qianfan did not say much or ask questions. He had confidence in Taozi. The streets were full of spies, military police, pseudo-policemen, and Japanese ronin swaggering around. Although this indicated a dangerous situation, for Taozi, it also meant that Seeing that there were weapons everywhere, he believed that with Taozi's ability, it would not be a problem to obtain weapons without anyone noticing.
"I said, just listen."
"yes!"
"I am at the Guest House now, Mr. Hai is also at the Guest House, Mr. Hong and Mr. Ming are at the Taiping Road Hotel, and Mr. Huang is at the Dongyang Hotel on Shaoguan Road. The guests will gather at the Guest House." Cheng Qianfan said, pulling out of his shirt He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and passed it under the sofa.
"Call Shanghai and forward to Chongqing." Cheng Qianfan said, "It has been encrypted. Just send the original text."
"clear."
"Brothers in Qingdao should take action in the near future. You should keep an eye on the direction of the Guest House and wait for my order."
"yes!"
"If I am too late to issue an order, you will act accordingly."
"yes!"
"Safety is paramount in everything we do, and we must not act recklessly."
"clear."
"There is a cheese cafe near the Guest House. If necessary, I will ask the Japanese waiter at the Guest House to buy me coffee there. At that time, I will stop at the entrance of the Guest House and pay attention to my gestures."
"clear."
…
On the other side, Mao Xuanyi walked closer with a cigarette in his mouth and a wine glass in his hand. However, he did not come over, but pretended to drink and was secretly on guard.
Although he was very excited and wanted to see what the mysterious Virgo looked like, he still strictly enforced the discipline and suppressed his curiosity.
