"Is the assassination of Colonel Morita a trivial matter?" Mitsui Shouichi asked with a livid face and anger.
Ryuukawa Hiroki shrugged and said indifferently: "If you are not satisfied with the results of my investigation, you can ask Commander Hata to restart the investigation."
"Asshole!" After hearing this, Mitsui Shouichi finally couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up and pointed at Tatsukawa Hihara's nose and cursed, "You have almost killed all those suspects, how can I restart the investigation?"
"I can't help you with this, but doesn't your intelligence department always boast that it can make the dead speak and recover the truth from the ashes? But then again, when they were still alive, didn't you already interrogate them all night?
Well, what's the result?" Speaking of this, Longchuan Feiyuan laughed contemptuously, "A fool who has been promoted two levels is still a fool! To borrow a word from Li Ningyu, talking to fools is indeed a waste of life.
."
With that said, Ryukawa Hihara stood up and wanted to take back the report. However, at this moment, Mitsui Juichi, who was so angry that he rushed in front of him and grabbed him by the skirt of his clothes.
Ryukawa Hihara did not resist, but looked at him provocatively, his eyes full of disdain.
The reason why Ryukawa Hihara acted like this was because of helplessness. Time was tight. At present, only by forcing Mitsui Juichi to take the initiative to fight him could he achieve his purpose of meeting the commander and reporting to him face to face.
But at this moment, Mitsui Juichi suddenly regained his composure when he was about to go berserk. He let go of his right hand holding the skirt of his clothes and said with disdain: "The son of a prostitute is not worthy of me. You deserve this."
I will report the investigation report to the general truthfully."
"What did you say?" Before he finished speaking, Ryukawa Hihara asked in a deep voice.
"Are you asking me how to report to the general, or how I know that Your Excellency is the son of a prostitute?"
Faced with Mitsui Juichi's sharp rhetorical question, Ryukawa Hihara tried to open his mouth several times, but could not utter a word to refute.
Mitsui Juichi couldn't help but chuckle when he saw this: "Your Majesty, you think that by using your convenience as a spy creator in the secret service to forge a decent file, you can become a truly noble imperial soldier like Colonel Morita and me.
What? It’s a dream! Do you know why no one in this headquarters is willing to talk to you anymore? That’s because all of them already know your life experience.”
Speaking of this, Mitsui Juichi couldn't help but laugh wildly, "The illegitimate son of a flower street prostitute, a bastard who has to fabricate his father and family background! Hahahaha..."
"Ah!" Mitsui Juichi was laughing heartily, and Ryukawa Hihara roared and rushed forward as if he had lost his mind.
Although the soldiers on guard were alerted immediately after the conflict between the two, when they rushed to the scene of the incident, they found Mitsui Juichi already lying on the ground, vomiting blood.
Such a bloody scene frightened the guards on the spot. It took a long time for the leader, the Major, to have the courage to say: "Colonel, what are you doing..."
"Find him a better doctor. If his tongue is torn... he will bleed to death!" Ryukawa Hihara calmly wiped the blood on his hands and said, "It turns out that the blood of a noble person can be so fishy!"
"Why are you still standing there? Go call a doctor!" The Major came back to his senses and ordered, and then turned to Ryukawa Hihara and said, "Colonel Ryukawa, you openly seriously injured your colleague, and you have offended me!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and then four or five guards swarmed forward. Ryukawa Hihara did not resist and allowed them to escort him out of the office...
At the same time, Gu Mansion.
Gu Minzhang sat alone at the dining table, looking at the sumptuous meal in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh.
At this moment, Miss Zhao walked in and reminded her carefully: "Sir, don't wait any longer, the food is getting cold."
But even so, Gu Minzhang still didn't move his chopsticks, "Xiao Meng...hasn't she called?"
"Oh, I just called the headquarters. I heard from people in the headquarters that after Xiaomeng got off work, she left in Commander Zhang's car."
"That's right..." Gu Minzhang nodded suddenly after hearing this, "It's inevitable to entertain your boss, right?"
"Yeah." Miss Zhao nodded quickly in agreement.
Gu Minzhang then picked up the bowls and chopsticks, "Then... come, eat, let's eat!"
…
On the other side, Commander Zhang's residence.
As soon as Gu Xiaomeng walked into Commander Zhang's living room, she was immediately attracted by a landscape painting hanging on the wall.
"April 21, Gengchen year. This happens to be the first day we enter Qiuzhuang."
Commander Zhang couldn't help but sigh with emotion after hearing this: "Yes, in a blink of an eye, everything has changed!"
"Commander, I have been thinking about whether I should really accept your invitation along the way."
"Oh, Xiaomeng, didn't I tell you? This meal is not only to suppress your shock, but more importantly, it is to suppress the shock of other people in this headquarters! It is both a personal friendship and a business matter. Come on.
Come, sit down!" Commander Zhang said, while warmly inviting Gu Xiaomeng to sit down, "But then again, if... if I had known that it would be like this, I would never do it even if I didn't do it, Commander.
Let the five of you enter Qiuzhuang."
"Commander, now that the matter is over, you don't have to blame yourself too much."
"Alas! Xiaomeng, I can only tell you that since you entered Qiuzhuang, I have run away wherever I should. I have only paid two visits to Commander Hata, and to your father-in-law.
I also went. But the result? I am a man of low words and lack of ability! In the end, I still couldn’t save you all!"
"Dad has told me, thank you for your love and care." At this point, Gu Xiaomeng changed the topic, "However, catching the old ghost of the Red Party is related to the fundamental interests of the party and the country, and judging from the results, Longchuan
Hihara did indeed find the old ghost among the five of us, so you don’t have to worry about it..."
"Hahaha..." Before Gu Xiaomeng could finish what he said, Commander Zhang smiled and shook his head, "Xiaomeng, are you saying this because you don't want to believe me? Or are you really a fan of the authorities?"
"Commander, what do you say?"
"If you don't want to trust me, then you should just listen to what I say next as a joke. If you are really a fan of the authorities, then I will tell you clearly. What ghosts are you trying to catch? How can there be ghosts in our headquarters? Even if there are.
, that is also the Japanese secret service pretending to be a ghost! Using ghosts to defeat tigers!"
As soon as these words came out, Gu Xiaomeng immediately frowned, "Commander, you are referring to... Longchuan Feiyuan?"
"No, he is not the only one. As the saying goes, ghosts always travel in groups. The Japanese intelligence system in China has always been divided into three branches: the secret service, the intelligence department and the special high-level police.
Class, think about it, if there are three incense sticks in this temple, there will inevitably be intrigues and power struggles between them, which is much more intense than the Army Headquarters and the Japanese Cabinet."
"So that's it." Gu Xiaomeng said suddenly, "I have long heard that the secret service and the intelligence department are incompatible with each other. On the first day we entered Qiuzhuang, we all thought we were investigating the murder of Colonel Morita, but who knew?
His first words, Ryukawa Hihara, were, 'We are not investigating any murder cases, but we are going to find the old spy of the Red Party among the five of us.'"
"That's right! If you find a killer, you can get rid of one or two people at most, but if you want to find a heavyweight Red Party spy, then our confidential information, and even the entire headquarters, will not be preserved.
"
"You mean that Li Ningyu... was wrongly accused? But the letter she left for me clearly admitted that she was an old ghost! I saw it with my own eyes!"
Unexpectedly, Commander Zhang snorted after hearing this, "Even so, but Li Ningyu was already dead at that time, who can prove that she really wrote the letter herself?"
"If this is really the case, then I have wronged her! Was she killed by me?"
"Oops! Xiaomeng, Xiaomeng, you are still too young!" Commander Zhang couldn't help but sigh when he saw this, "This 'is not of my kind, and its heart must be different.' The Japanese also know this truth, so remember
Let me tell you something, at any time, the Japanese will not rest assured that we Chinese have people like Li Ningyu and Jin Shenghuo in our hands."
Speaking of this, Commander Zhang paused for a moment, and saw that Gu Xiaomeng did not react at all, nor was he anxious, but continued patiently: "Why, you don't really believe what I said, do you? Then let me ask you,
Chief Ming of the General Affairs Section, you should know him, right?"
"We've met a few times, that's all." Gu Xiaomeng nodded and replied.
"Then if I tell you that his grasp of people's hearts is not inferior to that of Director Jin, and his ability to decipher secret messages is not inferior to Li Ningyu's, what would you think?"
"This is impossible!" Gu Xiao replied without even thinking about it.
"Yes, this is the first reaction of normal people. You are like this, and people from the secret service are even more like this. But things in this world are often like this. The more impossible it is, the closer it is to the truth. Let me tell you the truth, that Chief Ming
Although he looks inconspicuous on weekdays, he is actually Minister Zhou’s person.”
"So, he is Minister Zhou's spy in the headquarters?"
"You can say that, but in my opinion, he is more like an insurance policy arranged by Minister Zhou, just to prevent the Japanese from doing this. Such foresight is really admirable! It's just a pity that Director Jin and
Colonel Li and the others, because of their outstanding abilities, have caused the secret service to be on guard. They even used the assassination of Colonel Morita of the Intelligence Department as an excuse to investigate some old ghost within our headquarters. Doing so can destroy Chairman Wang's eyes and ears.
, and they can attack the Intelligence Department, killing two birds with one stone! This also means that they are destined to not leave Qiuzhuang alive. So, with or without your report, the result will be the same."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Xiaomeng's face suddenly turned cold, "According to what you said, the reason why I survived is precisely because I am not as capable as Li Ningyu and others, right?"
"No, no, no, of course not." Commander Zhang quickly waved his hand and explained, "No matter what, you are Chairman Gu's only daughter. For the sake of Chairman Wang and Vice Chairman Gu, they
We always have to show some mercy. But now, all our confidential offices are empty, and I have already typed up the report to fill the vacancies. However, the superiors have been slow to approve it. In my opinion, it is not far away from the Japanese reaching out.
It’s not too far.”
"Commander, you are really discerning, but it's a pity... Even if I know that there is a fire pit ahead, I have no way out. I can only bite the bullet and go down."
"Xiaomeng, don't worry. Even if the Japanese want to kill us, Chairman Wang will not just accept his eyes being poked out. So Xiaomeng, think about it again, especially those two people like Bai Xiaonian and Wu Zhiguo.
Personally, have they ever mentioned anything... unusual to this Japs?"
After some persuasion from Commander Zhang, Gu Xiaomeng basically understood this guy’s position, so he cooperatively frowned and tried to think about it for a while, and then slowly said, "Commander, I heard what you said.
, I really remembered something."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"Wang Tianxiang, Director Wang, once accidentally let slip that Secretary Bai was tortured to the end and was talking nonsense in order to survive. He said that Commander Qian did find some treasure in Qiuzhuang, but it was a pity that it was taken away."
"Took it away? Who? Who took it away?" Commander Zhang quickly asked after hearing this, "What did he say?"
"I don't know about this. Director Wang didn't say it. I guess he doesn't know this most important sentence either. But I'm curious. Logically speaking, this Qiuzhuang treasure is just something that people in the market can talk about after dinner. Why?
Why does Ryukawa Hihara attach such great importance to him? Otherwise, Secretary Bai would not have made up this lie to save his life. Logically speaking, Ryukawa Hihara should be focusing on catching the old ghost, but now he seems to be here to hunt for treasure.
Come on. It seems that it is really possible, as the commander just said, that the drunkard is not interested in drinking! Maybe this move is not just killing two birds with one stone, but killing three birds with one stone!"
"Your analysis is right!" Commander Zhang said with great agreement, "I also think that Secretary Bai most likely made up these remarks himself. If there really is such a large sum of money, how come Commander Qian doesn't know about it?
, How can you move so many things without anyone noticing? The headquarters is so big in total, how can you keep it a secret?"
"That's not necessarily true, Commander, have you forgotten that Squadron Liu who was transferred away without reason some time ago?"
"Liu Squadron?"
"Yes, as far as I know, shortly after Squadron Liu was transferred, he died in the course of a mission. Thinking about it now, isn't it very suspicious?" Gu Xiaomeng took a look at this.
Then he lowered his voice and said, "Not only that, I also heard Wang Tianxiang say that Commander Qian has secretly joined the Black Dragon Society in Japan. Do you think this is all done secretly by them?"
