Seeing David Ikeda lowering his head in deep thought, Fukuda Akitake didn't bother him. He just looked at him and patiently waited for the answer.

After a few minutes, David Ikeda said slowly: "General, maybe we acted too slowly. After all, when we arrested the white people, there were two Chinese with them.

And those two Chinese people ran away on the spot, maybe they would use this time to report the news to the East Asia Trading Company."

David Ikeda is a bit smart, so naturally he would not name his opponent so quickly. After all, doing so would be a bit suspicious.

Moreover, it was taboo to doubt one of his own for no reason, which would easily give his superiors a bad impression, so he could only lure Fukuda Akio into guessing.

"That's not right. You have been hunting these people since you discovered them. Even if they were able to escape, you would not have time to notify the East Asia Trading Company."

Although Fukuda Akitake did not have much experience as an agent, he was a senior Japanese military officer and his basic reasoning logic was very strong, so he did not think that the person being hunted would have time to notify the East Asia Trading Company.

After all, when arresting people, the Japanese will definitely pursue them. The military commanders will not have time to escape, and it is impossible to pass on the news in a short period of time.

"this……"

David Ikeda hesitated for a moment, and then said to himself: "It took about an hour from the time I arrested the white man to the time I rushed to the East Asia Trading House. In such a short time, the military commanders really had no chance to report the news..."

David Ikeda's voice was very low, and he looked like he was thinking about something while speaking.

Seeing David Ikeda's expression and his few whispers, Fukuda Akiwu asked coldly: "You have been in Tianjin for a long time. Have you discovered that in many things, our opponents can

I learned very confidential information.”

After saying these words, Fukuda Akitake looked at David Ikeda with a scrutinizing gaze, and secretly thought in his heart that if the other person didn't understand, then he was not a talented person.

It turns out that Fukuda Mingwu has been sorting out various files in Tianjin these days. He already has certain abilities, so he soon discovered something unusual.

The people from the military command are so good at intelligence work that the other side will know many of the Japanese military's highly confidential secrets.

After discovering this anomaly, Fukuda Akitake immediately turned his suspicious eyes on the Japanese because he felt that there must be an informant from the military commander in the Japanese military.

Moreover, this informant is very likely to be in the gendarmerie and the police clearance agency.

Originally, Fukuda Akitake planned to investigate the matter privately, but he was not familiar with the situation. If he investigated alone, he could not tell how much time it would take.

Now that David Ikeda had arrested two white men and thus destroyed an important stronghold of the military, Fukuda Akitake naturally listed him as a credible person.

Since David Ikeda is trustworthy, Akitake Fukuda will naturally not hide it from him, and only then will he reveal some of his thoughts.

As soon as Fukuda Akitake finished speaking, David Ikeda looked like he suddenly realized something and asked in surprise: "General, is there a traitor here?"

"There must be a Chinese spy among us, and the status of this spy is not low."

Fukuda Akitake responded immediately, looking at David Ikeda with a bit of appreciation.

After all, David Ikeda reacted so quickly, which means he has a very flexible mind and is worthy of being reused by Akitake Fukuda.

Hearing that Fukuda Akitake had confirmed this result, Ikeda David showed a look of hatred, and kept gnashing his teeth, as if he wanted to tear the spy into pieces.

While gritting his teeth, he also said bitterly: "I asked you why you have missed so many times in recent years. It turns out there is a traitor..."

David Ikeda's performance made Fukuda Akio very satisfied, because with this kind of performance, he is a qualified Japanese soldier and a usable chess piece.

After a while, David Ikeda calmed down a little, and then he said, "But who is this traitor?"

David Ikeda's eyes were full of confusion, as if he couldn't guess who the traitor could be.

"It's up to Ikeda-kun to find it?"

Fukuda Akitake responded immediately, looking at David Ikeda's expression, he was also very gentle.

"I!"

David Ikeda was a little surprised, and then said: "But I can't guess who the traitor is. If I could have guessed, I would have reported it to the General."

While speaking, David Ikeda also showed a look of hatred, with a bit of pain in his tone, as if he was annoyed that he was too incompetent to even guess who the traitor was.

"It doesn't matter. As long as you investigate this matter carefully, you will definitely find something?"

Fukuda Akitake plans to reuse David Ikeda. After all, his status is neither high nor low. He has been working in Tianjin for many years and understands the situation here.

More importantly, Fukuda Akitake has few confidants, and no one who is familiar with the situation in Tianjin. Now that David Ikeda has the ability and there is no doubt, it is naturally his only choice.

After all, David Ikeda took control of the military stronghold, which meant that he had no problem. Even if Fukuda Akitake was smart, he would not have thought that this was a bitter trick.

"Please rest assured, General, I will try my best to investigate this matter."

David Ikeda immediately nodded in agreement, but the expression on his face was very complicated and his brows were furrowed, showing that this matter was difficult to investigate.

Looking at David Ikeda's expression, Fukuda Akitake thought for a while and felt that he should remind him, so he slowly said: "There is a clue to this matter right now."

"What clue!"

David Ikeda immediately asked, his eyes full of expectation.

"Just think about it, the military commanders evacuated the East Asia Trading House in time. Could it be that this traitor discovered something and issued an urgent warning?"

The East Asia Trading House was empty, but a large amount of supplies were left behind, which meant that the military commanders were evacuating urgently. Therefore, except for the two people who were out of tune, only spies within the Japanese could inform the news.

That's why Fukuda Akitake reminded him like this. After all, he already suspected that there was a spy inside, and the two people who escaped didn't have much time to warn, so the chance of the spy reporting was higher.

Hearing what Fukuda Akitake said, David Ikeda nodded and immediately answered: "General, I know where to start the investigation."

After saying this, David Ikeda deliberately showed a trace of hesitation, then gritted his teeth and said carefully: "Your Excellency, General, when I arrested the white man for interrogation, Major Hase once visited the interrogation room."

"you mean!"

Fukuda Mingwu squinted his eyes, with a bit of ruthlessness on his face.

"Your Excellency General, apart from those directly involved, I have only met Major Hase."

David Ikeda's voice was very low, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing, but there was a little suspicion in his eyes.

Fukuda Mingwu did not continue to ask questions, because the Japanese general understood that David Ikeda had some concerns.

After all, it is taboo to doubt a colleague without reason, even if he is a colleague of equal rank.

However, Fukuda Mingwu decided to keep a close eye on Major Hase and not let him know some confidential matters.

After that, the two talked about some more content, and David Ikeda said goodbye and left.
