Looking at the boy wearing traditional Japanese clothes and holding a samurai sword in the photo, Ryukawa Hihara's face showed a rare look of kindness.
"Thank you, teacher, for worrying about Zhengnan!"
Washo Tetsuo waved his hand, "That's right. No matter what, you are still my student after all. Get up!"
As he spoke, Tetsuo Gushichao turned around, seemingly admiring the scenery of lakes and mountains behind him.
"Teacher, what are you looking at?" Ryukawa Hihara asked with some confusion.
"It's nothing, it's just that the scene in front of me makes me can't help but imagine, what if that fool Matsui Iwane didn't listen to your opinion that night when the imperial army occupied Hangzhou, but instead burned a fire here that was as dazzling as the sun.
The night fire must be the most beautiful moment of West Lake in a thousand years."
After hearing this, Ryukawa Hihara was stunned for a moment, and then asked in confusion: "Teacher, according to what you said, was it the student who made the mistake?"
"This moment and that moment cannot be evaluated simply as right or wrong. After all, no one can predict what will happen in the future." Having said this, Tefu Gushichao paused, and then suddenly asked out of the blue, "I know.
Why did I personally go to Nanjing, fall out with Doihara, and get you out of the solitary room?"
"Students are stupid, please ask the teacher to clarify."
"Tell you the truth! What I wanted was never the treasure Qiu Zhengen stole, but something else."
"Another thing, you mean..."
"Mr. Zhongshan's relic."
"Mr. Zhongshan, could it be..."
"That's right, it's Mr. Zhongshan. What Qiu Zhengen stole back then was the largest amount of aid that the Chinese Kuomintang's predecessor, the Alliance, received from us. And Mr. Zhongshan's relics were the key token that allowed Qiu Zhengen to prove his innocence.
As long as we destroy that token, we can successfully make the early transaction between the Alliance and the Black Dragon Society public. If we rely on it so much, the credibility of the country's ruling party will go bankrupt, which is the most beautiful destruction for our empire. Do you understand now?"
After hearing this, Ryukawa Hihara suddenly nodded and said: "So that's it, students understand. Don't worry, teacher. Students will definitely try their best to trace the whereabouts of Mr. Zhongshan's relics and will never let the teacher down."
At the same time, in the inconspicuous villa in the west of the city.
"I see. So, Qiu Zhengen followed the former Prime Minister's secret order and escaped secretly with the huge amount of aid from the Black Dragon Society, even though he was accused of betraying the revolution?"
Zhou Fohai, who was sitting on the main seat, first took a look at the report submitted by Minglou, and then carefully checked a book called "The Strategy for the Founding of the People's Republic of China" that Li Qiang secretly brought back from Qiuzhuang by taking advantage of the opportunity of counting the treasures of Qiuzhuang.
After reading the book, I couldn't help but say with emotion.
"I'm afraid that's the case." Minglou quickly replied, "In my humble opinion, the Prime Minister must have expected that the Black Dragon Society would probably use this aid to make a fuss in the future, so he made a secret decision with Mr. Qiu.
This is a cruel trick."
"After all, this is just your guess after all. If you want to verify it, I can only place your hope on Mr. Qingling who has taken refuge in Hong Kong." Having said this, Zhou Fohai carefully read the book together with Minglou's report.
He put the ground away, and then said to Li Qiang with great satisfaction, "You did a good job on this matter. I also said hello to the military department. After you go back, you should immediately start to handle it according to the plan. If you find any abnormalities,
Report to me anytime."
"Yes! I understand!"
After a night of silence, Ryukawa Hihara arrived at Commander Zhang's office early the next morning.
"Ouch, how dare I take it upon myself to ask Colonel Longchuan to deliver the documents in person?" Commander Zhang said proudly.
Long Chuan Fei Principle smiled and said, "Commander Zhang, I don't think I should take it seriously. According to your position, you are the commander and I am a subordinate. According to regulations, all documents in the confidential department must be signed by me before they can be signed again."
Submit to the commander for inspection."
"Hehehe, you're welcome, you're welcome." Although Commander Zhang said "you're welcome", he took the folder from Longchuan Feihara's hand without any politeness and started to look through it.
.
However, it doesn't matter if you don't read it. When he saw the contents of the document inside, Commander Zhang couldn't help but frowned, "Eh? This doesn't seem to be a document from the Confidential Department? Isn't this the transfer order I... sent to the Human Resources Department?"
"Oh? Really?" Ryukawa Hihara asked knowingly, "Then I don't know why Director Zhao of the Personnel Department sent this document to my office, so I took it for granted that in this commander's office
In the ministry, personnel transfers are also under the control of the Confidentiality Division. Commander Zhang, is that true?"
"So, Director Longchuan also signed this transfer order as a matter of course?"
"Of course not, because my subordinates cannot agree with some of the commander's decisions."
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is very simple. Commander Zhang, I carefully checked the resumes of the colonel officers you want to replace in this transfer order. Regardless of whether they surrendered before or after they surrendered, they all performed heroically in the anti-bandit campaign and deserve to be commended. Especially, especially
Director Wang Tianxiang made great contributions in the just-concluded ghost-hunting case in Qiuzhuang, and instead of being rewarded he was transferred to the front line. Isn't this too heartless?"
"Hmph! Only when they are transferred to the front line will they have the opportunity to make contributions. I am promoting them through promotion. If you don't understand, you don't have to say anything, but don't say anything nonsense." Commander Zhang snorted and said angrily.
"Really? But Commander Zhang's 'good intentions' seem to everyone to be retaliatory or even threatening!"
"Director Longchuan, I think I need to remind you that I am the commander, and the promotion, reward and punishment in the entire headquarters are all powers given to me by Chairman Wang. I really don't think there is any need to explain to anyone, right?"
"Yes, you don't need to explain, but these school-level officers are all hard-line anti-Reds. They have made such great achievements, but you sent them to the front line as cannon fodder. What the commander did is to punish those who love him and those who hate him.
It's okay, this is helping the Red Party, don't forget, we just caught the old ghost, but the old gun is still there!"
"What do you mean by this? Why, do you suspect that I am an old gun?"
Unexpectedly, Longchuan Feiyuan actually looked at Commander Zhang with a suspicious look, and replied word for word: "I hope it is just suspicion! I have always felt that unsolved cases are better than those that have been solved."
The case where the truth is revealed is much more interesting. It has a kind of power, a power to control everything, just like the sword of Damocles hanging above the head. It may fall down at any time and cut off the head of the real murderer, but it is interesting.
Yes, it is hanging there and has not fallen."
As he spoke, Ryukawa Hihara tore up the transfer order to pieces in front of Commander Zhang, and then left without looking back.
Just after he left, Commander Zhang, who had been so angry that his face was bruised and bruised, did not take long to regain his composure, and then a sinister smile appeared on his face unconsciously...
On the other side, as soon as Ryukawa Hihara returned to the office, the phone on his desk rang.
However, what he never expected was that after the call was connected, the voice that came from the phone was Huang Que's voice.
"...Really? Okay, then I'll see you at the same place at eight o'clock tonight!"
After hanging up the phone, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Xiaomeng opened the door and walked in.
"Director, why did you call me here?"
"Captain Gu, you knocked on the door, opened the door, and closed the door, and you didn't look around during the whole process. It seems that your confidentiality rules are very standardized."
"Thank you for your compliment." Gu Xiaomeng said in a businesslike manner, "I think this should be attributed to the previous business section chief's strict requirements on our code of conduct."
"You mean...Li Ningyu?"
"yes!"
"Yes! I have to admit that even in my opinion, she is an extremely outstanding intelligence officer. Whether she is the chief of the intelligence department or an agent of the Red Party, her training for you has been very important.
Very successful! I have read all the messages you deciphered, which is enough to show your business ability, and your performance in Qiuzhuang also proved your loyalty. Therefore, I made the following decision."
With that said, Longchuan Feiyuan took out an appointment that had been prepared for a long time from the drawer and handed it to Gu Xiaomeng.
"Colonel, what are you doing?"
"Now, in the name of the Director of the Confidentiality Division, I officially appoint you as the Chief of the Intelligence Section."
"But...Sister Haitang, no, isn't Section Chief Gu already..."
However, before Gu Xiaomeng could finish her words, Ryukawa Hihara interrupted her directly, "From today on, in this headquarters, as long as there is my signature, Commander Zhang will agree. I say this, you should
Do you understand?"
"Yes! My subordinates will definitely do their best to live up to the trust the colonel has placed in me."
"Wrong, it's not the colonel, it's the director!"
"Yes! Director!" Gu Xiaomeng quickly stood at attention and said respectfully, "Director, if there is anything else to do, I will leave first."
"Wait!" Before Gu Xiaomeng could turn around, he was stopped by Longchuan Feiyuan.
"Director, do you have any other instructions?"
"Oh, it's like this. Two days ago, my teacher, the Marquis Jiucho Tefu, just arrived in Hangzhou. He had heard about the name of Ship King Gu for a long time and wanted to find an opportunity to meet with your father. Chief Gu, I think your father should
You won’t refuse, right?”
"I'm sorry, I can't help with this matter."
"Oh? Why did Section Chief Gu say this?"
"It's a coincidence that just a few days ago, my father and I had separated from our father-daughter relationship. That's why I moved from home to the dormitory of the headquarters."
"Is there such a thing? I dare to ask, why?"
"I spent ten days hunting ghosts in Qiuzhuang. Originally, I always believed that my father would do everything possible to rescue me. But from the beginning to the end, he was either going to Nanjing or Shanghai. He was obviously afraid of being punished by me.
He is implicated and has no regard for my life or death. I dare to ask Colonel, should I break away from the father-daughter relationship with such a father?"
"Captain Gu, if things are really as you said, you are right to do this, but what if there is any misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?"
"Well, let me let my teacher, the Marquis, come forward. I think it will be more appropriate for him to mediate the misunderstanding between you and your daughter. What do you think?"
However, Gu Xiaomeng just smiled after hearing this, neither agreeing nor objecting, "If there is nothing else, I will go out first."
After saying that, he turned around and left the office...
At eight o'clock in the evening, Ryukawa Hihara arrived at a Japanese geisha house on time, and Oriole had been waiting inside for a long time.
"Tell me, why are you so anxious to see me?"
"I have received an order. At four o'clock tomorrow afternoon, I will officially take the old man's place."
"Really? So in more than ten hours, Lao Qiang will be arrested?"
"But you don't seem very excited!" Huang Que said suspiciously.
"That's because I paid a huge price to find this old gun. What's the saying in that idiom? Victory is shameful, is that what it says?"
Huang Que couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this, "You can continue to be humiliated, but don't forget the conditions you promised me!"
"Conditions? What conditions?"
Before he finished speaking, Huang Que took out his pistol, pointed it at Longchuan Feiyuan and roared angrily: "You promised me, my brother, and my family's treasure! I'm warning you, you and my eldest sister will
I know all the secrets. If you dare to break your promise, I will kill you. Even if you go anywhere, I will find you and kill you!"
However, Ryukawa Hihara was still drinking tea calmly, completely ignoring that he was being pointed at a gun, "Don't worry, as long as you can help me find the real old gun tomorrow, I will immediately arrange for you and your brother to
Meet."
"real?"
"Of course it's true. As long as you can catch Lao Qiang, I promise to let you see your brother."
…
While Longchuan Feiyuan was secretly meeting Huang Que, Gu Xiaomeng also took a rickshaw to the Navy Club located on the Qiantang River.
"Hello, miss, what do you need?" As soon as he walked to the bar, the bartender in charge of bartending greeted him warmly.
"Any recommendations?"
"How about Bloody Mary? I think it suits your temperament very well, Miss."
"But I just want to drink sake tonight."
"But miss, the sake tonight is very expensive!"
"How expensive is it?"
"The laurel crown is seven points higher than it was at three o'clock this afternoon."
"make a deal!"
"how much do you need?"
"Seven boxes."
"Okay, please follow me."
As he said this, Gu Xiaomeng was led by the bartender to the door of a VIP room with the No. 107 sign.
Although he looked very calm on the surface, Gu Xiaomeng still subconsciously put his hand into his bag. It wasn't until he saw the familiar figure on the sofa in the room that he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and walked in.
"What, are you scared?"
Seeing Gu Xiaomeng come in, Gu Minzhang put down the newspaper in his hand and said to her with a smile.
