Ishida Xiaoshan's face was cold, but there was no fluctuation in his heart. It was him who passed on the information, not Li Zhiqun, and he knew this very well.
When the information was sent out, he knew that these people would die. What happened now was almost as he expected. The only difference was that Li Zhiqun didn't die and ran back.
"Director Huang was following Zhong Hui today, and someone picked him up. We suspected that he was connecting with the upline and following them to a remote place. I had a stomachache and went to poop. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden sound of gunfire. I waited for me to react.
, Director Huang and others have been killed."
Li Zhiqun said carefully, Huang Shiqi didn't see such a simple trap, he deserved to die.
But how could the Chinese set up a trap waiting for them so quickly?
Although Huang Shi was not a very good person, he was from the Military Intelligence Service and was still good at tracking people.
He had not been discovered when he was marking people alone before, and he had not made any mistakes during the two-day clock-marking meeting, so he should not have been discovered.
Moreover, they monitored Zhong Hui 24 hours a day and did not see him passing on any information.
The trap this time was clearly aware of their existence and deliberately arranged.
"How many people are there on the other side?" Ishida Koyama asked.
"There are a lot of them. Judging from the sound of gunshots, there are at least dozens of people, with both long and short guns."
"Are there any grenades?"
"No, there are so many of them, it's enough to use guns. Director Huang and the others didn't stop them."
Li Zhiqun shook his head hastily. There was indeed no grenade. He did not dare to lie about this, otherwise Ishida would know it after checking.
"Did you see the person who did it clearly?"
"I'm too far away to see."
Li Zhiqun shook his head again. He had escaped early and did not dare to go over.
"waste."
Ishida Xiaoshan cursed, and a fish slipped through the net, which gave him a headache.
Fortunately, the Chinese have always been rigorous in doing things. This time, they killed one group and left another group behind, deliberately letting them take the blame. This gave them a lot of room for maneuver.
Li Zhiqun was scolded but did not dare to say a word.
"Who do you suspect betrayed Huang Shiqi?" Ishida Xiaoshan asked again.
"I dare not say." Li Zhiqun lowered his head.
"If there's anything you don't dare to say, just say it if I ask you to."
Ishida Xiaoshan glared, and Li Shiqun immediately replied: "Whoever wants us dead the most, and whose death is most beneficial to us, is worthy of suspicion. My subordinates have no evidence, so they cannot name them directly."
Although Li Zhiqun didn't say who it was, it was no different from him.
"Let Ruan Zhengting come over."
Ishida Xiaoshan didn't talk nonsense to him and gave orders to the people around him. Ruan Zhengting was brought over after a while.
He looked a bit embarrassed, his clothes were torn, and he had a colorful face.
Li Zhiqun didn't know that Ruan Zhengting had brought people back before him, crying that they had been exposed and that it was Huang Shiqi's people who betrayed them.
They were keeping a good watch, and the other party didn't go out much, so how could he be exposed?
Someone must have betrayed them in order to prevent them from making meritorious deeds. The person who betrayed them must be Huang Shiqi. Ruan Zhengting had no evidence, but named Huang Shiqi.
The enemies were extremely jealous when they saw each other. Li Zhiqun was stunned for a moment when he saw Ruan Zhengting, while Ruan Zhengting stared at him fiercely.
"Team Leader Ishida."
In front of Shitian Xiaoshan, Ruan Zhengting did not dare to be presumptuous and lowered his head to say hello.
"You said Huang Shiqi betrayed you, but Huang Shiqi died. How do you explain it?"
Ishida Koyama asked angrily, something went wrong with the person under surveillance, his mood must fluctuate, this is a normal reaction.
"Huang Shiqi is dead?"
Ruan Zhengting was startled and immediately looked at Li Zhiqun.
"They are all dead. Someone leaked the news. We were lured there by the Chinese."
Li Zhiqun gritted his teeth and said, although he didn't know why Ruan Zhengting was like this, he had already determined in his heart that Ruan Zhengting betrayed them.
"Team Leader Ishida, although I don't know what happened, someone must have betrayed us so that we were ambushed."
Ruan Zhengting immediately explained that with Huang Shiqi's death, his previous accusations became useless. He also didn't know what happened specifically, but he understood that he must make himself clear now.
"That's enough, take them separately for interrogation."
Ishida Xiaoshan shouted angrily, Li Zhiqun and Ruan Zhengting accused each other, saying that the other party betrayed them, this matter must be investigated, and separate interrogations are the best way.
The two of them cried out for injustice, but unfortunately they were still taken away.
Ishida Koyama rubbed his head, packed his things, and came to Mitsui's office.
"Section Chief, I have disappointed you. There is a serious problem in the Detective Division, and all the Chinese agents we were targeting have run away."
Seeing Mitsui, Ishida Koyama was the first to admit his mistake.
"Tell me the details."
Mitsui had just received the news of the failure of the operation. He did not go out and was waiting for Ishida to report to him.
"Hai."
Ishida told Ruan Zhengting and Li Zhiqun's explanations in detail. The two sides accused each other and they are all currently under interrogation. However, what happened has already happened. The Chinese did know about their surveillance and took the opportunity to ambush the two groups.
Mitsui said nothing and listened carefully.
When he first received the news, he was really furious. If he could catch the important people in the Shanghai station this time, he would not only be proud, but also give an explanation to the chief section chief.
He arrested several people when Hoshino was there, but when Hoshino was not there, he could still arrest people.
It's a pity that things went against expectations, and such a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds passed by.
"Which one of them do you think is lying?"
Mitsui asked slowly. This matter was obviously an internal conflict. He was familiar with and hated internal strife.
You can fight among yourself, but you never want your subordinates to fight among themselves.
"It's not certain at the moment, but Huang Shiqi is indeed dead. The French Concession called us and asked us to collect the body. I have sent people there. As for Ruan Zhengting, although his people were ambushed, no one was killed, and
Injured the opponent."
"Do you suspect it's Ruan Zhengting?"
Mitsui asked. He had no doubts about Ishida. Although the case was in Ishida's hands, what Ishida did this time was not wrong.
Keep an eye on people and expand the results. He would do the same thing if it were him.
By handing it over to the Chinese and sending their own people to keep an eye on it, they can ensure that the matter is under their control. Looking at the whole thing, Ishida Koyama's handling of the matter was right.
The mistake was that they all underestimated the courage of these Chinese people.
In order to frame others, he dared to leak secrets.
At this time, Mitsui didn't even think about it. When he framed Hoshino, he was also very courageous. Once the truth of what he did was found out, he would still be embarrassed.
"No, I suspect it's Li Zhiqun."
Ishida shook his head, and Mitsui frowned. Thinking about it carefully, Ishida was indeed right.
Li Zhiqun is the veteran of the Detective Division. Without him, the Detective Division cannot be established.
He was the captain before, and everyone was his subordinate. Hoshino valued him very much, and he was the actual person in charge of the Detective Division.
Hoshino fell, and Ishida promoted Ruan Zhengting.
In fact, this was Jiang Tengkong's suggestion and the arrangement he made with Ishida. Ruan Zhengting had indeed made meritorious service before, so this was a reward for his loyal ministers.
Li Zhiqun lost all his power and his psychological imbalance is normal.
Huang Shiqi was originally Li Zhiqun's subordinate, but ended up riding on his head. Ruan Zhengting was not on the same page with him, and Li Zhiqun definitely had the motive to leak the secret.
"You're right. Li Zhiqun has serious suspicions. Has he been tried?"
"Under trial." Ishida Koyama replied.
"Come on, let's go over and take a look."
Mitsui stood up and Ishida followed him to the torture room.
Li Zhiqun had been hung up and kept shouting injustice.
"Section Chief, I am dedicated to the empire. There is no way I would betray the interests of the empire. Besides, I helped the empire catch many Chinese agents. There is no turning back."
Seeing Mitsui, Li Zhiqun suddenly shouted.
After learning that Ruan Zhengting was also ambushed, he realized something was wrong. If nothing happened to Ruan Zhengting and only something happened to them, he would still have enough reasons to blame the other party.
At the same time, something happened, everyone on his side died, and he escaped alone, so he became the biggest suspect.
He cursed in his heart, he didn't expect Ruan Zhengting to be so ruthless, giving up the fruits he was about to get in order to get rid of them.
"Section Chief, we still have people from the intelligence team staying behind. You can ask them. I have never been out in the past few days and have not had any contact with the outside world."
Li Zhiqun shouted again, while Mitsui looked at Ishida.
Ishida shook his head slightly and sighed.
Li Zhiqun's team and the four Japanese agents he sent were all shattered.
Not long after they were led out, an action team member killed the two agents who stayed behind, and neither of them escaped.
Ishida has sent people to confirm this and found their bodies.
Four agents died, and Mitsui was very angry.
No matter how many Chinese people die, he will not feel bad, but these four are the elites of their special high school, because the internal strife of the Chinese people who are loyal to the emperor is really inappropriate.
Seeing their expressions, Li Zhiqun suddenly felt bad.
"Section Chief, Huang Shiqi was able to find the Chinese agent, which is actually due to me. I was targeted by Ruan Zhengting, and Huang Shiqi was sent to find my master Ji Qing. He is the leader of the Youth Gang in Shanghai, but Huang Shiqi took the information my master gave him.
Yes, these people are my credit. I will never leak it intentionally. If you don’t believe me, you can go check it out.”
In order to save his life, Li Zhiqun revealed the source of Huang Shiqi's intelligence.
If he doesn't confess, Mitsui will probably torture him immediately. He is very weak now and will definitely not be able to withstand the punishment.
"Ji Qing?"
Mitsui frowned, and Ishida looked at Li Zhiqun.
Li Zhiqun didn't tell him this before, but actually hid something from him. Li Zhiqun must not stay.
"Yes, you can send someone to ask him. Everything I said is true."
Li Zhiqun nodded quickly, Mitsui looked at Ishida, and Ishida shook his head: "He never told me before."
"Team Leader Ishida, I didn't mean to hide it. Huang Shiqi went out to help me deliver a letter to Master. Asking Master for help is to help me find the Chinese agent. He is a local snake in the French Concession. As long as he is willing, he can definitely find it. Huang Shiqi has admitted that it is me.
The information the master gave him."
"At that time, he had already targeted someone, and you promoted him to deputy director. I didn't dare to speak out about it for fear of being targeted by Huang Shiqi."
"Is everything you said true?" Mitsui asked.
"It's absolutely true, Section Chief. Even if I had the courage, I wouldn't dare to lie to you."
"Ishida, send someone to verify it. If he lies, he will be executed immediately."
Mitsui ordered Ishida, Ishida nodded slightly, and Li Zhiqun's torture was temporarily suspended.
Mitsui returned to the office, still thinking about Li Zhiqun's words.
He knew that Ji Qing was originally the fourth giant in Shanghai, but now one of the previous three giants has left, the other one has not agreed to cooperate, and only the one named Zhang has joined them.
Ji Qing is not weak now and is the one they want to fight for.
Li Zhiqun turned out to be Ji Qing's disciple. He really didn't know this. Thinking of Li Zhiqun's concealment, Mitsui felt a little angry.
However, Li Zhiqun is still useful, and Mitsui has no plans to kill him at the moment.
The people sent by Ishida Koyama quickly brought a reply.
Huang Shiqi did go to Chase Casino in the French Concession to deliver a letter, and the content of the letter was exactly as Li Zhiqun said, asking Master for help.
Ji Qing spent two days to find Hu Guoren and the others.
The reason for finding them was simple. The three of them lived together, had no jobs, rarely went out, and were outsiders. It was easy for Ji Qing's disciples and grandsons to keep an eye on them.
Later, it was discovered that they had weapons and their behavior was different from that of gangsters and bandits, so they were judged to be agents.
Ji Qing is a leader of the Qing Gang, so he doesn't need sufficient evidence, he just needs to suspect you.
The result was favorable to Li Zhiqun, but Ishida Xiaoshan had no way to hide it.
Once he lies, Mitsui can easily verify it, and then he will be exposed.
"So, what Li Zhiqun said is true?"
Mitsui sat at his desk and listened carefully to Ishida's report.
"From the current point of view, it should be like this. These Chinese agents are indeed not the work of Huang Shiqi. Damn it, I was deceived."
Ishida said angrily, while Mitsui waved his hand: "I can understand the dirty thoughts of the Chinese. Li Zhiqun didn't stand up to fight for himself at the first time. It's normal for you to be deceived."
Mitsui has never paid much attention to the Chinese, and it doesn't matter who discovers the Chinese agents.
But this failure made him very angry.
"Ruan Zhengting is also suspected. None of his people have been in trouble. The person they are watching has not gone out, but he has. What did he do? Go and ask him carefully, and be sure to pry open his mouth."
Mitsui ordered, Ishida Koyama suddenly lowered his head and followed the order to go out.
No one died on Ruan Zhengting's side, including the four Japanese agents.
They monitored every move of Ruan Zhengting and others, and during the two days of surveillance, Ruan Zhengting did go out alone, every day.
I went out for two hours on the first day and one hour on the second day.
"Team Leader Ishida, I was wrong. I shouldn't have gone out, but I went to see Cuihong. He is my best friend. You can ask her."
After being taken to the torture room, Ruan Zhengting's legs became weak even before he was tortured, and he took the initiative to reveal his whereabouts during his two outings.
Ishida didn't listen to his nonsense and directly had him tortured.
Within half an hour, Ruan Zhengting could no longer bear the punishment and voluntarily admitted that he had leaked the information.
First update, there are still 8,000 words left today. Thank you to league leader Yi Xin Qiuyue for another reward of 2,000 starting coins.
