"Who are you talking about? Gao Bin? Why is he here?"
After hearing the news brought by Luo Houcai, Haitang couldn't help being surprised.
Gu Xiaomeng on the side couldn't help but tilted his head and asked curiously: "Sister Haitang, is that Gao Bin difficult to deal with?"
However, before Haitang could speak, Li Qiang rushed in front of her and said: "Speaking of this guy, he is not an ordinary person. He was Kenji Doihara's favorite student when he was the head of the secret service in Bingcheng. Although he doesn't look like one on the outside.
He is a cruel and insidious person, and even a bit honest, but from the occasional flash of his sharp eyes like an eagle, you can feel that this is an unusual person. This person not only has the ability to observe meticulously, but also has a good memory.
He is also well-known. His only shortcoming is that he is suspicious by nature and never trusts anyone easily."
"Brother Ming, how come you know so much about that person named Gao?"
"Don't you understand? When your brother and I were on duty at the Manchuria Railway, we had to deal with their special service department a lot. Just going on missions together would take place two or three times a month. I didn't expect that in just a few years, we would
The person named Gao has transformed from a small section chief to a deputy director. He has climbed so fast!"
Unexpectedly, Haitang had already turned her attention to Luo Houcai, "I remember you. Aren't you the national soldier who was captured alive by No. 76 before? Why did you go to Bingcheng to work as a driver for Lao Zhou?"
"This is just like a child without a mother - it's a long story. When I parted ways with Brother Qiang in Wuhan before, I learned that my hometown is Bingcheng, so Brother Qiang asked me to bring a message to Section Chief Zhou.
, and then we got to know each other. Later, Section Chief Zhou was promoted, and the police department even compensated for a car. The only thing missing was a driver, so Section Chief Zhou remembered me."
"That's it!" Although Haitang said this, she actually didn't believe a word of it. Instead of exposing it, she enthusiastically asked Gu Xiaomeng to take him to a room to settle down temporarily.
And just after the two left, the smile on Haitang's face immediately disappeared without a trace, and she asked with a straight face: "Didn't you promise me that you would never have anything to do with that red party again?"
"Which Red Party?"
"Stop pretending to be stupid with me, you know who I'm talking about!"
"You don't care whether he is a member of the Red Party or not, he is still fighting against Japan!"
"But...but you are sympathizing with the Red Party! What if Boss Dai finds out..."
Seeing that Haitang became more and more excited as she spoke, Li Qiang quickly comforted him with kind words: "Don't worry, it's okay. Even if Boss Dai knew about it, he wouldn't say anything, because my last mission before being transferred to Shanghai was to secretly monitor that person."
Guy."
"real?"
"of course it's true!"
"That's good, that's good, I thought you..." Hearing this, Haitang let out a sigh of relief, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. How are you going to explain Wu Shibao?"
"Just say it's the help I specially found."
"Isn't it a bit too perfunctory?" Haitang said worriedly.
"On the contrary, for some things, the more you explain them, the more doubtful they become."
"Um."
After finally convincing Haitang, Li Qiang took out the architectural drawings of the arsenal and said, "Here, this is the architectural drawings of the arsenal. Let's hurry up and study it carefully!"
…
The time came to half past six in the evening.
"Mr. Ming, the banquet is about to start in half an hour. Did something happen if you called me out at this time?" Momoi Sana quickly lowered her head and glanced at her watch, then cautiously glanced around.
, and then lowered his voice and said to Li Qiang.
"I just received the news that the inspection team did not go straight to Fengtian after leaving Xinjing, but took a detour to Bingcheng first. Do you have any clues about this?"
"Ice City? What are they doing in Ice City?"
"I don't know this either. I just know that right after they left, Deputy Director of the Police Department Gao Bin immediately summoned the manpower and personally led the team out of Ice City."
"Deputy Director Gao personally led the team? Is it true or false? Where did you get this news?"
"Of course it came from those intelligence dealers. Just for this piece of information, I spent five gold bars!"
"The Catholic church at Xiaonanmen?"
"That's right, I didn't expect Miss Momoi to know that place too!"
However, Momoi Sana did not pick a fight, but said solemnly: "Then it shouldn't be wrong."
Before she finished speaking, Momoi Sana raised her legs and walked out without saying a word.
Upon seeing this, Li Qiang hurriedly shouted: "Miss Taojing, where are you going?"
"Sorry, Mr. Ming, I'm in a hurry and have to go out. I'm sorry!"
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Li Qiang did not continue to ask further questions. After watching her leave, he sneaked into the private room that was about to be used to host the reception banquet...
Soon, as night fell, the reception dinner also started on time.
At the same time, in the room directly above the private room where the reception banquet was held, Nan Menying was nervously adjusting the monitoring equipment in front of him.
"How's it going? Is there any sound?"
"Yes." Nanmenying said, then handed an earphone to Li Qiang, and then listened intently to what was going on downstairs.
At this time, in the private room downstairs, the three officers of the inspection team were enjoying the geisha performance and enjoying the authentic hometown food. In addition to Mitsui Masaoshi, the mayor of Fengtian City, the chief and deputy director of the police station, etc. were accompanying him.
Officials of all sizes were also present, and the atmosphere was lively.
After three drinks and five dishes, Yota Kawakami, the leader of the inspection team, put down his chopsticks and picked up the napkin at hand to wipe his mouth.
Upon seeing this, Mitsui Masato immediately waved to the geishas who were still performing hard and motioned for them to retreat.
After all the irrelevant people had left, Kawakami Yota put down the napkin in his hand, coughed lightly and said to Mitsui Masao: "I've eaten and drank. It just so happened that people were here, so it's not as good as that.
Just have a short meeting here."
As soon as these words came out, the officials present immediately started whispering to each other, and Kawakami Yota slammed the table, and the private room immediately became quiet.
Kawakami Yota then nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Gentlemen, the commander sent us here mainly for two reasons. One is that due to the impact of the Soviet-German war, we must take necessary military actions.
Therefore, we must conduct a thorough inspection of the existing ordnance industry and logistics support enterprises; furthermore, we received a report that someone at the Fengtian Ordnance Manufacturing Institute dared to secretly take the weapons and equipment produced by the Imperial Factory and sell them on the black market. It is suspected that
The people inside the factory are guarding and stealing. Therefore, in addition to everyone sitting here, I also specially invited the person in charge of the Fengtian Ordnance Manufacturing Factory, President Mitsui Masaoto, to come over."
As soon as these words came out, everyone turned to look at Mitsui Masato who was sitting at the last seat.
But what surprised everyone was that Mitsui Zhengyan always maintained a calm and calm smile on his face, without any trace of fear or panic.
Yota Kawakami continued: "So, our inspection team came to Fengtian this time to do only two things, to verify the inventory of all military industry and logistics support companies, and to track down the culprits who secretly resell weapons. I hope you can cooperate!"
Before he finished speaking, Mayor Zheng Yu immediately took the lead and said: "Cooperate! Don't worry, Team Leader Kawakami, we will cooperate and fully cooperate!"
Others quickly nodded in agreement.
But even so, a very discordant voice still appeared, "You are right to say that, but you can't force it, right? Team Leader Kawakami, this is not a simple case handling issue. To be honest with you, in the middle of the
A few months ago, Commander Meijin just added some new equipment to the Ordnance Factory to expand production capacity. If you conduct such a high-profile investigation, let’s not talk about the final results. Then our Ordnance Factory will be in Fengtian City and even the entire Manchuria in the future.
, when everyone talks about it, what image will it have?"
As soon as these words came out, Kawakami Yota frowned and asked expressionlessly: "Who are you?"
"Xiaoguan Shen Cong, the district chief of Dadong District."
After hearing this, Kawakami Yota nodded repeatedly, indicating for him to continue speaking.
District Chief Shen was not polite and continued to talk non-stop, "Chief Kawakami, think about it, in order to prevent this kind of phenomenon when the Japanese took over, all the workers inside were Japanese nationals.
Soldier, if this spreads out later, it will be a disgrace to the Empire of Japan! And there are some reports, should we screen them, otherwise the impact on our side will be huge!"
Having said this, the man turned to look at Yoshida Ryo, who was sitting next to Kawakami Yota, "Yoshida-kun, am I right?"
Unexpectedly, Yoshida Ryo ignored him at all, but said to the middle-aged man in police uniform sitting opposite him: "He Sang, you are the chief of Fengtian Police Station, I want to hear your opinion."
"This... my suggestion... you should be more cautious. After all, it is related to the face of the Japanese Empire and the honor of the imperial soldiers. I believe that any imperial soldier values and is sensitive to the word honor. So...
...I am also worried that it will cause some unnecessary trouble. After all, you know that the soldiers who can work in the military depot have more or less backgrounds..."
"Well, you're right. We really need to consider this issue carefully." Having said this, Kawakami Yota turned to Zheng Yu who was sitting on his right and said, "Mayor Zheng, what do you think?"
Zheng Yu immediately adjusted his clothes and said sternly: "It is our duty to cooperate with the inspection team to investigate the truth, but now we are facing a practical problem. Should we suffer huge losses by investigating a small arms reselling case?
The interests of the Japanese Empire may even affect the decision-making of the entire headquarters. You know, if this case is not investigated for one day, you will have to stay here for one more day. You are all senior officers of the Empire, and you must be better than me.
Do you know more clearly how important time is to a battle, or even the entire war?"
Hearing this, everyone including Kawakami Yota fell silent, seeming to be silently weighing the pros and cons.
At this moment, the district mayor surnamed Shen spoke inappropriately: "I think Mayor Zheng is right! The war between Germany and the Soviet Union has made our already unstable external environment even worse. Well, if such a scandal is exposed at this time, the image of the imperial soldiers that we have finally established will probably be greatly affected!"
Seeing that District Chief Shen was always going online, he made several people in the inspection team change their expressions with just a few words. Zheng Yu, who was watching beside him, became anxious and hurriedly stopped him, "Well... Sirs, you must be very tired after working so hard on this journey? Why don't you just come here today and I will personally organize a discussion at the city hall tomorrow?"
However, before he finished speaking, Sasaki, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Tomorrow? Aren't there a lot of people here today? Why do you have to wait until tomorrow to hold another meeting to discuss it? Mayor Zheng, shouldn't you? Could it be that you are delaying time intentionally?"
As soon as these words came out, the smile that had been on Zheng Yu's face almost instantly solidified, and several other officials subconsciously moved their buttocks.
In the end, it was Zheng Yu who was the first to react and said with a smile on his face: "Sir, how could I have the guts to do this in front of you? Look, it's almost ten o'clock. I am also thinking about the health of the officers. Otherwise, let’s call it a day and I will organize the relevant officials to meet again after the meeting and report to you another day. Do you think this is okay?”
Hearing this, Kawakami Yota lowered his head and glanced at his watch, "Really, I didn't expect it to be so late? Well, let's call it a day. Everyone, please go back! Mayor Zheng, I'm waiting for you. report!"
"Okay...okay!"
After saying this, all the officials stood up and left one after another as if they had been granted amnesty.
However, just when Mitsui Masato was about to say goodbye and leave like the others, Sasaki's cold voice rang again, "President Mitsui, please stay!"
"I wonder if Sasaki-kun has any advice?"
"I don't take this advice seriously. I just hope that President Mitsui will not leave this hotel until the investigation is completed."
As soon as these words came out, Mitsui Zhengyan was stunned, and then said with some worry: "But over there at the Ordnance Manufacturing Institute..."
"President Mitsui, you can rest assured. The weapons manufacturing facility should have been taken over by our people by now. We are doing this to remove your suspicion, President Mitsui, so please cooperate."
"Okay! I'll cooperate, but before that, can you let me make a call?"
"Yes, you can, but it must be in front of the three of us."
"good!"
"Then please, President Mitsui."
"please!"
…
After everyone left the private room, Nan Menying in the room upstairs also took off his headphones and asked Li Qiang beside him: "What do you think?"
