Chapter 1213: Aftermath
"Bang!" There was a crisp sound!
The slap made half of Yushi Imai's face turn red, but he didn't dare to be negligent. He stood attentively and honestly waited for Junping Uehara's hair to fall.
"I have issued an order before. The safety of this banquet is very important. All security work cannot be participated by Chinese people. Why don't you implement it? Can you afford this responsibility for such a huge loss?"
Junhei Uehara's roar scared everyone around him, and Yushi Imai's face was even bloodless.
At this time, Ning Zhiheng suddenly remembered and said, "During the banquet, there was indeed a Chinese man who wanted to deliver wine to the VIP seat, but Araki Jun discovered it in time and scolded him. Is this Zhan Yuanliang?"
Upon hearing this, Araki Takashi nodded and said, "It was this person. According to Consul General of Duke Hok, Zhan Yuanliang worked in the consulate for many years and there was no problem, but I always felt something was wrong, so I let him leave."
Speaking of this, Araki Takashi couldn't help but feel a little scared. Judging from the situation at that time, Zhan Yuanliang's target must be many senior executives in the VIP seat. If he had to stay with him at that time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
As soon as this said, Junpei Uehara also took a breath. He was almost plotted against by others and walked through the gate of the Ghost Gate. He looked at Takashi Araki, nodded slowly, and said in praise: "Araki, good job!"
Tetsu Araki received praise from Junhei Uehara, and immediately became energetic. He knocked his heel, stood up attentively, and then gave a respectful salute.
Junhei Uehara asked Yushi Imai again: "Are there any people in key positions among the poisoned personnel?"
Yuzhi Imai was most afraid of Junhei Uehara asking this question, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "Among the officials of the Nanjing government, there are three ministers with the highest positions, and the others are insignificant."
"What about our losses?" Junhei Uehara asked. He didn't care about the losses of the Nanjing government at all. In his eyes, those people were just dispensable lackeys.
Yushi Imai had to continue to answer: "Because the other party mainly poisoned sake, we suffered a lot of losses, and most of them had milder levels of poisoning. However, the few people with obvious symptoms of poisoning were basically our personnel. In the consulate, Deputy Consul Uchida Mingyama and Secretary Yusuke Miyashita. As for the military, they were mainly several brigade commanders and corps commanders of the Sixth Division, as well as several officers at the same table with them. One of them was Colonel Keisuke Ueno, the director of the Qingshui Research Institute."
"What?"
Junhei Uehara was immediately startled, his nerves suddenly became nervous, and he asked, "Keisuke Ueno was also poisoned. How serious is it?"
Junhei Uehara can still face the losses of those consulate personnel and active-duty officers calmly. Standing at his height, these people can be replaced. If you have another loss, you can just change it.
But Keisuke Ueno is different. This person is a top biochemical expert in Japan. He plays an important role in researching biochemical weapons. He is specially transferred from the Northeast to preside over the work of a poison gas factory in central China. If this person is poisoned, the loss will be great, and it is definitely not comparable to a few active-duty officers.
Faced with Junhei Uehara's questioning, Yuzhi Imai didn't dare to speak out for a moment.
As the head of the Special High School and the head of the intelligence department, Yuzhi Imai also knew that Keisuke Ueno's identity and important status, so he finally reported Keisuke Ueno's situation. Seeing Junhei Uehara's harsh expression, he couldn't help but feel even more panicked. According to his observation, Keisuke Ueno was relatively intoxicated and the possibility of rescue was not high. How did he answer? I was afraid that the situation would be worse when he said it.
At this time, seeing Yuzhi Imai was so scared that he didn't dare to answer. Ning Zhiheng, who was beside him, decided to come forward to smooth things over and pull Yuzhi Imai. He coughed lightly and said to Junhei Uehara: "Uncle, the incident happened suddenly. No one could have thought that something went wrong inside the consulate. I think that Junior Imai was dealing with it in time. The matter may not be as bad as we imagined. Let's wait until the rescue result comes out before we talk about it."
As soon as this statement was said, Yushi Imai received an amnesty. In fact, he felt most wronged. He was only responsible for the security of the banquet, but there were problems within the consulate itself. How could he prevent it?
If we want to hold the responsibility accountable, the consulate should bear greater responsibility, and this time I am indeed a little unfair.
Yuzhi Imai looked at Ning Zhiheng with gratitude. With President Fujiwara's position in the hearts of General Uehara, if he comes forward, General Uehara will definitely not be able to take his face.
At this time, Yuzhi Imai couldn't help but feel secretly grateful. Fortunately, he had a good personal relationship with President Fujiwara and spoke for himself at a critical moment.
When Junhei Uehara heard Ning Zhiheng excuse Yuzhi Imai, he knew that he was intentionally protecting Yuzhi Imai, so he had to suppress the anger in his heart. His tone was slowed down and ordered: "Immediately searching for Zhan Yuanliang in the whole city. I want you to thoroughly investigate the entire Nanjing city, and investigate all the history and relationships of Zhan Yuanliang, and arrest his family, relatives and friends. In short, be sure to find this person. If such a big thing happens, you will not be able to pass the check without an explanation."
Junhei Uehara is also in a state of great trouble now, one is the first and two are big. This matter has a very bad impact, especially when there is a problem at the reception banquet of the three members of the parliament. The news will definitely be transmitted back to Japan. If the person does not handle it well, he will cause trouble, so there must be an explanation of the past.
Yuzhi Imai felt his body lightening up suddenly. The most difficult level was finally over. Since he was investigated, the next thing was easy to talk about. The arrest of Zhan Yuanliang was on the one hand. Even if he was not lucky and did not catch the main owner, he could still push the responsibility to the consulate. After all, the consulate had an unshirkable responsibility in this matter. I would like to ask President Fujiwara to tell him about it. I believe he would pass the test safely, and the problem was not big.
Thinking of this, Yushi Imai immediately recovered his energy, took the order loudly, turned around and retreated.
Junhei Uehara didn't have the intention to stay here anymore, and said to Ning Zhiheng beside him: "Zhiren, this place is too messy. I have to go to the hospital to see the treatment situation. You can go back and rest first!"
Ning Zhiheng was not willing to go back. He wanted to know the exact information about this poisoning, especially the officers of the 6th Division headed by Ichiro Noshima. If these people die, they will save their own hands and feet. If they are not dead, they may have to design arrangements and take the opportunity to relieve their hatred!
"Uncle, it's so late, you still have to go to the hospital? The situation is unclear now, I think I'd better accompany you!"
Upon hearing this, Junhei Uehara did not refuse, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go and have a look together. After dealing with the matter, let's go back together."
So the uncle and nephew left the consulate together, and a convoy rushed to Tongrenhui Hospital.
Tongrenhui Hospital is relatively close to the consulate, and it is also the best hospital in Nanjing and is also the exclusive hospital for the Japanese. Most of the doctors and nursing staff in the hospital are Japanese.
Although it was already late at night, the hospital was brightly lit and filled with special agents from the special high school class. The hospital urgently recalled all the doctors and nurses to do their best to treat the poisoned people sent. However, because potassium cyanide is too toxic, it is very difficult to treat.
When Junping Uehara and Ning Zhiheng arrived at the hospital, two poisoned people had died.
Dr. Shimada, the attending physician who was responsible for the treatment, reported to Junhei Uehara.
"Consul Uchida and Secretary Miyashita were seriously poisoned. They died before they were sent to the hospital. Most of the other poisoned people were relieved after gastric lavage."
Junhei Uehara was a little relieved. What he was most concerned about was Keisuke Ueno's situation. He quickly asked: "How is Colonel Keisuke Ueno? He is the top biochemical expert in our country. You must concentrate your efforts to treat him."
Dr. Shimada couldn't help feeling embarrassed and explained: "Colonel Ueno is in a serious condition. He is deeply poisoned and his physical condition is also very poor. We washed his stomach, but there was no sign of awakening."
Junhei Uehara was naturally unwilling to give up, and he continued to ask: "Is there no effective means? He is very important to the cause of the empire!"
"No!" Dr. Shimada shook his head, "Potassium cyanide poisoning is very troublesome. Apart from gastric lavage, we can only use glucose to supply calories, promote the detoxification function of the liver, and enhance his physique. There is no other good way. Everything depends on himself.
General, to be honest, this situation is already considered good. I have been exposed to potassium cyanide poisoning cases in the past, and almost all died on the spot. This time the situation is a bit special. The concentration of potassium cyanide is very low. Most of them have no obvious symptoms, and there is a high possibility of rescue!”
Junhei Uehara couldn't help but press his temple with his hands, and was anxious. According to Dr. Shimada, Keisuke Ueno was afraid that there would be a lot of danger.
At this time, Ning Zhiheng suddenly asked, "How is the situation with Ichiro Noshima and his colleagues?"
Unlike Junhei Uehara, Ichiro Noshima is Ning Zhiheng's most concerned goal.
Dr. Shimada was stunned. There were many people who were poisoned. He only cared about the most important ones, and the others couldn't remember them clearly.
Ning Zhiheng explained: "This person is the brigade commander of the Sixth Division, from Kyoto, my fellow countrymen, and he and several of his colleagues were poisoned."
Ning Zhiheng said this so that Junhei Uehara and others could understand that he was particularly concerned about this person's situation because of his fellow countrymen.
"These officers are not in good condition either. They are seriously poisoned and are not awake yet."
Ning Zhiheng suddenly showed a look of sorrow and asked again: "How much hope is there for rescue?"
