"Colonel Matsumoto, are you really unwilling to say anything?"

No matter what the situation, Hahara Koichi was always extremely polite when interrogating prisoners, as if the person facing him was not a prisoner but his guest.

"Lieutenant Colonel Hahara, let me reiterate, I am a soldier of the empire, and I will never betray my country." Matsumoto Nitsugi's face was full of anger:

"You must never insult me ​​like this!"

"Colonel Matsumoto, if I have insulted you, please accept my apology." Koichi Hahara said politely: "But your daughter, how do you explain it?"

"I do not know I do not know."

When he mentioned his daughter, as if he had caught his weak spot, Matsumoto Nitsugi murmured: "I really don't know that Masaki did these things. Lieutenant Commander Hahara, have you really found out?"

Hikari Hahara nodded: "The investigation is very clear. Unfortunately, Shinaki has disappeared. Even you don't know where she went, do you?"

In fact, at this time, Matsumoto Nitsugi had already vaguely guessed that his daughter was really related to these things.

Why?

Why did Makoto do this?

This is betraying one's own country.

"I don't know what Shinoko did or where she is now."

Matsumoto Nitsuji cheered up: "If she really does something that is sorry for the empire, I am willing to bear all the responsibilities."

This is a father's love for his daughter.

Koichi Hahara sighed inwardly: "So, where do you think Manaiko will be now? She shouldn't have left Shanghai so soon. As her father, can you provide us with any clues?"

At this moment, Matsumoto Nitsugi made a decision.

If the real thing falls into their hands, life will be worse than death.

He knew what they would do.

Makoto is still a child.

Matsumoto Nitsugi suddenly said: "I did it."

"What did you say?" Han Yuanguang was stunned.

"I did it all." Matsumoto Nitsugi said expressionlessly: "I instigated Makoto to go to Nanjing. I also instigated Makoto to contact Ji Quanrong. I was bribed by Meng Shaoyuan very early on.

, I have been helping the Chinese people. Shinaki is just being used by me."

Hahara Koichi fell silent.

After a while, he stood up and bowed deeply towards Matsumoto Nitsugi: "Your Excellency Colonel, I admire your love and care for your daughter. If one day I have a child, I swear, I will do the same."

I will do this. But now, this is not about me alone, it is about the empire, so I can't believe what you say."

"Lieutenant Colonel Hahara, please." Matsumoto Nitsuji actually begged and said: "I will bear all the charges. Please tell the director of the agency to allow me to commit seppuku. In this way, everyone has an explanation."

Hahara Koichi pondered for a long time: "I will convey your words to the head of the agency."

"Thank you, Hahara-kun!"

…

"That's what he said?"

"Yes, that's what he said."

Kenji Doihara showed no sign of anger at all.

Even, looking at his look, he might have guessed what Matsumoto Nitsugi would say:

"Commander Hahara, what do you mean?"

"I can confirm that Matsumoto Nitsugi doesn't know about Matsumoto Makiko." Koichi Hahara said with certainty: "Even if Matsumoto Makiko is caught, the information she can provide will be pitiful, and once there is a big fanfare, this will inevitably

Become a scandal to the empire.”

This is the most worrying part.

A captain of a Japanese spy agency, one of the majestic "Three Tigers of the Empire", could not even look down on his own daughter, and was taken advantage of by the military commander.

Big scandal!

Especially after the Shogan Bank bombing and the assassination of Yamamoto Nagakei.

Nitsugi Matsumoto is one of the representative figures of the Japanese Army’s secret service.

"He is not qualified to commit seppuku. That is the honor that only a warrior should have!"

Doihara Kenji said coldly.

"Then, let him go to the front line?" Hahara Koichi asked tentatively.

"Go to the front line?" Kenji Doihara snorted coldly: "He doesn't have the qualifications either. Lieutenant Commander Hahara, I think that since you can come to me, you must have already thought about what to do, right?"

"Yes."

Hanbara Koichi hesitated and said: "Whether it is the Shojin Bank bombing case or the assassination case of Yamamoto Nagakei, it is far from enough to rely solely on a Chinese Ji Yunqing to bear the responsibility."

In an instant, Doihara Kenji understood what he meant.

An army colonel would be the best choice to take all the blame.

Kenji Doihara was a little tired: "Then, go ahead and do it."

So helpless.

The complexity of Shanghai is far beyond my imagination.

The power of Juntong and Meng Shaoyuan here far exceeded his imagination.

He was even forced to use an army colonel to take the blame for himself.

shame!

Kenji Doihara vowed that he would never forget such a shame!

…

"Did your Excellency, the head of the agency, really say that?"

"Yes, Colonel Matsumoto, I can guarantee that."

"Can you agree not to cause trouble to Makoto from now on?"

"I can't guarantee you." Hanbara Koichi said calmly: "As long as she does not continue to help our enemies. Colonel, this is your only choice."

Matsumoto Jinji nodded slightly: "Bring me a pen and paper."

He picked up the pen, thought for a moment, and then wrote:

"...So, I cannot shirk my responsibility for the bombing of Shokin Bank...The assassination of Yamamoto Nagakei was entirely due to my negligence...I should have committed seppuku and reported to His Majesty the Emperor, but my guilt prevented me from doing so.

Such qualifications..."

He solemnly signed his name:

"Okay, Lieutenant Commander Hahara, you can take me back."

…

Koichi Hahara watched with his own eyes as Matsumoto Nitsugi put his neck into the noose.

Matsumoto Nitsugi took one last look at the world:

"Long live the Empire of Japan! Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

Then, he kicked over the stool with all his strength.

Hahara Koichi has been watching calmly.

Until Matsumoto Nitsugi's body no longer struggled...

…

On November 4, 1938, the former head of the Japanese Army's secret service stationed in Shanghai hanged himself in his residence.

In his suicide note, he took all the recent events on himself.

The Japanese side was deeply shocked when they learned of the news of Matsumoto Nitsugi's suicide.

But they chose to handle the matter quietly.

The announcement from the other side was that Matsumoto Nitsugi was under too much mental pressure.

At this point, the so-called "Three Imperial Tigers" of the Japanese intelligence agency, Akagi Oikayuki was assassinated and Matsumoto Nitsugi committed suicide.

There is only one Tanashigen Road left.

The three tigers of the empire collapsed.

Their great reputation in Japan was ultimately ruined in Shanghai.
Chapter completed!
