"Sir, look quickly, there is movement at the gate!"
Haitang, who was ambushing outside Qiuzhuang, heard the report from his men and immediately picked up the telescope and looked in the direction of the gate.
I saw a group of guys headed by Wang Tianxiang sneaking open the side door of Qiuzhuang, and then using human power to push a car out of Qiuzhuang as if they were afraid of being discovered.
"Colonel, I can only send you here because of my humble position. Please take care of yourself."
"Thank you, Director Wang. Don't worry, as long as you can help me hold them back for a day... no, half a day, as long as I hold them back for half a day, when I arrive in Nanjing and report to Commander Hata in person, this matter will definitely happen.
Turn around. By that time, Director Wang's vast wealth will naturally be earned."
"I hope that Colonel Longchuan will be true to his word when the time comes."
"Don't worry, as long as you help me get through this, I won't treat you badly!" After saying that, he started the car, and then stepped on the accelerator, and the car immediately seemed like an arrow leaving the string.
He jumped out and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
"Sir, what should we do next? Do you want to follow?"
However, Haitang did not speak immediately after hearing this. Instead, she glanced in the direction in which the car left, then shook her head and said, "No need, continue to monitor. If you find any abnormalities, report to me at any time."
"yes!"
At the same time, on the mountain behind Qiuzhuang, in front of the solitary grave beside the West Lake.
"Report to Colonel! The tomb is empty and there are no bones in it."
After hearing this, Kuroteng Kizo was not disappointed, but became even more excited, "It's just empty, hurry up! Keep digging! Dig deeper!"
Naturally, the Japanese soldiers did not dare not listen to the commander's words, so they continued to dig downwards. Not long after, someone shouted, "We've found it! Colonel, there's something down there!"
Before he finished speaking, Kuroteng Kisan immediately said urgently: "Move gently, if someone accidentally bumps into you, military law will be engaged!"
But at this critical moment, Wang Tianxiang ran over in a panic and reported breathlessly to Kuroteng Guisanhui: "It's not good! It's not good, Colonel Kuroteng, Ryukawa... Ryukawa"
Colonel, he...he..."
"What's up with him?"
"He's missing!"
"Missing?"
"Yeah! I don't know how he untied the rope. By the time I found out, he had already disappeared. Even the guards at the door were knocked unconscious by him. Look at this..."
"That guy is crazy and wants to go against me! He's just a bastard!" After saying that, he looked at Wang Tianxiang again, "Then why are you still standing there? If you don't lead someone to look for him, you'll just have to do it if you can't find him.
Don’t come back!”
"Yes! I'll go find my humble position now, I'll go find it now..."
Although such a minor episode occurred, it did not distract Kurotō Kizo's energy at all. The commander's men were busy from day to night. After digging out more than twenty large boxes, he ordered
He continued to dig down three feet until the grave was dug into a huge pit. Then he was satisfied and ordered people to carry the heavy trophies back home.
After returning to Qiuzhuang, Heiteng Guisan immediately ordered the unpacking of the boxes, and very "reasonably" assigned Li Qiang the work of counting, identifying, and registering the items.
Li Qiang naturally accepted the offer gladly and led his people to work all night long before he finished counting the various treasures contained in those boxes.
"Oh my, I didn't expect that there is such a huge treasure hidden in Qiuzhuang. No wonder it is targeted by so many people. Chief Ming, you have made a great contribution to our Imperial Japanese Army this time! You
Don’t worry, I’ve already reported it to the Military Headquarters to ask for merit for you, and maybe the Military Headquarters’ commendation order will come out before I even return to Nanjing.”
"Thank you, Colonel, for your cultivation. I am deeply grateful."
Black Teng Ruizan waved his hand, "Hey, as the saying goes, eating people is short of mouth, and taking advantage of others is short of hands. You have done great service for me, so naturally I want to repay you with kindness!"
"Um... Colonel, you want to say 'reciprocate love', right?"
"Oh? Is that so? Your Chinese idioms are really complicated! Forget it, just understand what I mean. Don't worry about these details."
"What you said, Colonel, I understand."
Just as he was saying this, there was a rapid knock on the door. Then, before Heiteng Guisan could speak, Wang Tianxiang opened the door and walked in, sweating profusely. "Report... report to Colonel, I have been in accordance with your duties."
I ordered people to search the entire Qiuzhuang, inside and out, but still couldn't even see the shadow of Colonel Longchuan."
Black Teng Ruisan snorted angrily, "I didn't find it? Then why did you come back?"
"Humble job... Humble job comes back to apologize to you."
"No, you don't need to apologize to me. If you have anything to say, you'd better leave it to the people in the secret service!"
Before he finished speaking, someone else broke in from outside, whispered a few words to Wang Tianxiang in a low voice, and then took out a note and handed it over.
It was okay for Wang Tianxiang not to read it. After reading the note, his eyes widened immediately and he exclaimed in disbelief: "This...how is this possible?"
Seeing this, Kuroteng Guisan couldn't help but ask: "Director Wang, what happened?"
"It's Colonel Longchuan... Colonel Longchuan was kidnapped by the Red Party!"
"What did you say?"
As soon as these words came out, Kuroteng Guisan was also shocked, and quickly snatched the note from Wang Tianxiang's hand. Li Qiang on the side also walked over curiously, and saw that the note clearly stated
Author: Colonel Ryukawa Hihara of your army is here with me. If you want to keep him alive, I will go to the Wutong Guild Hall in Phoenix Mountain at noon tomorrow and make an exchange with the old ghost.
"In exchange for the old ghost... It seems that Director Wang is right. Colonel Longchuan should have been kidnapped by the Red Party." Li Qiang touched his chin and analyzed, "But the old ghost has been given to Colonel Longchuan...
...Where can I conjure a living person to exchange for Colonel Longchuan?"
"Yes, yes!" Wang Tianxiang also echoed from the side, "Colonel Kurotō, don't blame your humble position for talking too much. Even though Colonel Ryukawa has always had a bad relationship with you and is a bit mentally disturbed, he is the Emperor of Japan after all.
As the commander-in-chief of the army, if word of the general spreads, I am afraid it will have a big impact on your reputation!"
After hearing this, Kuroteng Guisan suddenly sank his face, "Director Wang, are you threatening me?"
"Don't dare! No one in my humble position would have the guts to threaten Colonel Kurotō! I'm just telling the truth."
Hearing this, although Kuroteng Kisan's face was still very ugly, he calmed down and turned to Li Qiang beside him and asked: "Chief Ming, what do you think?"
"In my humble opinion, Director Wang is right. No matter what you say, Colonel Ryukawa is still the Colonel of the Imperial Japanese Army. If left unchecked, spreading the word will not only bring shame to the honor of the Imperial Japanese Army, but also cause great harm to the people."
It may have a very negative impact on the colonel." Having said this, before Wang Tianxiang could be happy, Li Qiang suddenly changed the subject, "But don't forget, colonel, you have a heavy responsibility now. In case of rescuing Longchuan,
If something unexpected happens during the period of being a colonel, it will be more costly than gain."
"Well, that's right!" Kuroteng Kizo nodded in agreement, "Since Ryukawa-kun is the deputy director of the secret service, then this matter should be handled by the secret service. Director Wang, I think
You should hurry up and report this matter to the secret service! Otherwise, the best rescue opportunity will be delayed."
"But Colonel..."
Wang Tianxiang wanted to say something else, but Kuroteng Guisan gave him a sharp look and forced him to swallow the rest of his words.
When the plan failed, Wang Tianxiang rolled his eyes and made another plan. After leaving the room, he immediately called all his confidants and told his next plan...
While Wang Tianxiang was still trying every possible means to delay Kuroto Kizo's return plan, Ryukawa Hihara finally arrived at the Japanese headquarters in Nanjing.
Although he was very anxious in his heart, Ryukawa Hihara patiently parked the car, carefully arranged his military uniform, and then maintained his appearance as usual as much as possible, taking steady steps and striding in.
to the headquarters.
However, even so, Longchuan Feiyuan became more and more panicked as he walked inside. It seemed that everyone chose to turn a blind eye when they saw him. Many people pointed and whispered behind his back, and immediately let him
I felt uncomfortable all over.
At this moment, Ryukawa Hihara suddenly saw a familiar face, so he immediately put on a warm smile and took the initiative to say hello: "Chief Harada, it's been a long time..."
But before he finished speaking, Section Chief Harada walked straight past Tatsukawa Hihara without even looking at him.
The smile on Ryukawa Hihara's face froze almost instantly. He couldn't understand why his colleagues who usually respected him so much suddenly became so indifferent in just a few days.
With such doubts, Longchuan Feiyuan came to the desk of the communication office, tried his best to lower his posture, and politely said to the person in the communication office: "Hello, I am the deputy director of the Hangzhou Secret Service. Longchuan Feiyuan
Former Colonel, I have something important to report to Commander Hata in person."
"Colonel Ryukawa Hihara?" The man looked at Ryukawa Hihara up and down first, and then said slowly, "I'm very sorry, Commander Hata just had a ten-hour strategic meeting with the Chief of Operations General Staff. If
If it is not an urgent message from the frontline military report or the staff headquarters, Commander Hata will not receive you, and I ask you, Colonel, not to disturb his rest."
"No, I have to meet the commander. I want to report to him face to face the results of the investigation into the case of the Red Party spy Lao Gui. This is very important, please!" After saying that, Ryukawa Hihara deeply asked the man.
The man bowed.
Perhaps he was moved by Ryukawa Hihara's attitude. The corner of the man's mouth twitched slightly, and then he finally said, "Okay, please wait a moment."
With that said, he picked up the phone on his desk.
"Colonel Longchuan, deputy director of the Hangzhou Secret Service, reported on the investigation results of the case of the Red Party spy Lao Gui...Yes, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, the man turned to Ryukawa Hihara and said: "Secretary Uehara instructed that the investigation results of the case of the Red Party spy Lao Gui be reported to Colonel Mitsui."
"Colonel Mitsui?" Hihara Ryukawa couldn't help but was stunned after hearing this, "Which Colonel Mitsui?"
"It's the senior sergeant Mitsui Hisashi who has just been promoted exceptionally."
"Is it him?" Hearing this, Ryukawa Hihara's heart skipped a beat unconsciously, but he still had to obey the secretary's order and knocked on the door of Mitsui Juichi's office.
"I didn't expect it was really you, Colonel Mitsui..." As soon as he entered the door, Tatsukawa Hihara said to Mitsui Juichi who was sitting behind the desk.
"Why, are you surprised to see me?" Mitsui Juichi said with a half-smile, "Yes, you persuaded Commander Hata to transfer me back to the headquarters for review, but it was this review that gave me
I had an opportunity to appeal and convinced General Doihara that I was not at fault in my handling of the code ship. Not only that, I was also awarded for successfully cracking the second-generation Enigma machine."
"So...you took over Morita's vacancy and got promoted to two ranks as an exception?"
"That's right. Speaking of which, I really should thank you. How should I thank you?"
After hearing this, Ryukawa Hihara couldn't help but snorted, and said with disdain: "Colonel Mitsui, this dead man's collar badge is particularly weighty to wear, right?"
"Whether a dead man's collar badge is heavy or not depends on your investigation report." As he said that, Mitsui Juichi reached out to take the file bag in Tatsukawa Hihara's hand.
Unexpectedly, Ryukawa Hihara slammed the file bag on the desk, pressed it firmly with his hands, and said word by word: "This report is what I want to submit to Commander Hata.
Yes, I have no obligation to report to you."
"Since this is a report that must be submitted to Commander Hata, why do you still come to me?"
"This..." Tatsukawa Hihara, who knew he was in the wrong, was immediately silenced by Mitsui Juichi's question.
When Mitsui Juichi saw this, he snorted and continued: "Colonel Morita is from the Intelligence Department. Since we are investigating the case of assassinating him, the Intelligence Department will of course have to intervene. Colonel Ryukawa, you should know very well that since Secretary Uehara arranged it like this,
It proves that this is what Commander Hata means, so please take your hands away!"
Saying that, Mitsui Juichi snatched the file bag away without ceremony, opened the sealing tape in front of Tatsukawa Hihara, and began to examine it.
However, not long after, Mitsui Juichi frowned and asked angrily: "Li Ningyu? Is she the murderer you are investigating?"
"That's right! Li Ningyu is a spy of the Red Party lurking in the headquarters. The evidence is conclusive! The murderer who assassinated Colonel Morita..."
"Since the traitor is Li Ningyu, then she is also the killer."
"Absurd!" Mitsui Juichi slammed the table and asked unceremoniously, "Li Ningyu's right hand was injured at the time and he couldn't even pick up the knife. How could he assassinate Colonel Morita?"
"So what's the matter? The main responsibility of the secret service is to eliminate the traitors and spies who have sneaked into the system. As for such trivial matters as assassinations, you should go to the gendarmerie!"
