Lin Mo and the others are resting peacefully, but someone has to bear the burden, right? This place is Shanghai High-Tech, and some people inside are already very worried.
"Taniye, why hasn't Section Chief Garten returned yet?" In the office, Takeuchi stroked his forehead and asked Tanino who was standing in front of the table.
"Sir, Chief Garten is attending a dinner hosted by the consul. Because he wants to repair our relationship with the consul, the director, and the military, he cannot leave early. Let us wait a little longer."
"Alas..." Takeuchi let out a long sigh, waved his hand and said, "Taniye, go down first! See if there is any new news, and report it as soon as possible."
"Hey..." Gu Ye responded, bowed and retreated respectfully.
After Tanano left, Takeuchi stood up and opened a hidden safe in the house. He took out a document from a pile of documents familiarly and returned to his desk to look through it.
Takeuchi's flipping behavior didn't seem like he was reading the content, but rather like he was recalling something. He flipped through the pages very slowly, looking at each page for a long time.
"Squeak..." Nearly an hour later, the door of Takeuchi's office was suddenly opened. This woke up Takeuchi and he hurriedly tried to close it. He put it down when he saw someone coming.
There were three people standing at Takeuchi's door. One was a man in his forties or fifties, wearing an exquisite suit.
There are two young people beside this person, one is Gu Ye just now, who keeps a distance from the middle-aged man, and the other is a relatively unfamiliar young man, following closely behind the middle-aged man.
Seeing these three people, Takeuchi stood up to greet the middle-aged man and asked: "Your Excellency Kato, you are back."
"Well..." Kato nodded lightly, then walked into the office and sat down unceremoniously on the main seat. The young man behind him followed closely and stood next to him.
Kato's actions made Takeuchi's pupils shrink slightly, but he returned to normal in an instant. He led Tanano with a calm expression and stood respectfully in front of Kato.
"Takeuchi-kun, why did you send people to the consul's dinner to look for me again and again tonight?"
Hearing this, Takeuchi "hurriedly" replied: "Your Excellency Kato, something happened to one of our intelligence teams in Nanjing, and we would like to ask you to come back and take charge of the work."
"Oh?...Tell me about the situation!"
"Hey..." Takeuchi responded and explained: "The cause of the incident was an intelligence team in Nanjing contacting us.
Everything was normal at first. After confirming the identity of the other party, the other party started to send a message. But after sending half a sentence, the other party suddenly stopped sending, and then sent a warning message to the other party.
The warning message was very urgent, and before it was completed, it stopped again, and there was no sound again. Tanino-kun immediately reported the news to me, and then he sent someone to contact you."
"Oh... Why don't you just deal with such a trivial matter yourself? If you insist on affecting my business in a hurry, don't you have the ability to judge which thing is more important?"
After hearing this, Takeuchi hurriedly explained: "Your Excellency Kato, the situation of this intelligence team is somewhat special."
"The situation is special? Tell me about a special method?"
After hearing this, Takeuchi turned his eyes to the young man following Garten. Seeing this, Garten waved his hand to the young man and said, "Ozawa, go out first and guard outside."
"Hey..." Ozawa responded respectfully and retreated. Tan Ye also followed Ozawa to the door. However, the relationship between the two did not seem to be very good. They stood on one side of the door and did not look at each other.
One glance.
In the room, Takeuchi stepped forward, sorted out the information on the table, handed it to Kato respectfully, and explained in a low voice: "Your Excellency Kato, this is the situation of that group. They all serve that gentleman."
"Sir? Is it the Mr. Gao who is said to be so miraculous?"
"Yes……"
"Oh... After all, that Mr. Gao is almost sixty, right? It's admirable that he is still running for the empire at such an old age! But then again, at such an old age, he can really move."
Upon hearing such disrespectful words towards the legend in his heart, Takeuchi clenched his fists, but he could not offend the person in front of him, so he could only bury all his resentment deep in his heart.
Takeuchi forced a smile on his face and replied: "Mr. Gao is in good health. He still looks like he is in his forties. He can still serve the empire for many years!"
When Kato saw it, he didn't care. He picked up the document and read it faster and faster, and finally put the document on the table.
"Takeuchi-kun, this intelligence team is not as important as you said! The two most important lines have been taken over by the North, and the remaining two lines have been lost. Why make such a fuss?"
"What you said is absolutely true..." Takeuchi responded, and then said: "But Mr. Kato, after all, this intelligence team is related to Mr. Gao, and it also provides backup contact points for those two lines, so we still have to follow your instructions.
Do."
After hearing this, Kato stood up directly, and while adjusting his clothes, he said: "Don't come to me for wiping your butt. You can handle it yourself. I give you full authority to handle it."
After saying that, Kato ignored Takeuchi, went out directly, took Ozawa with him, and left.
After Garten left, Takeuchi looked ugly. After a while, he called Tanano in and asked in a low voice: "What did you find?"
"Sir, the station in Nanjing came to report that there was indeed fighting in Nanjing when it got dark. After their verification, there were two places. One was a fierce gun battle with rifles being used, and the other was the sound of grenades."
"Alas..." Takeuchi sighed and said helplessly: "It seems that something happened to this group, alas..."
Seeing Takeuchi's bitter look, Tanino hesitated for a moment, and finally asked: "Sir, is there anyone close to you in this group?"
After hearing this, Takeuchi did not hide anything and said directly: "The leader of the group used to be a very close colleague of mine, and he also helped me many times in my career.
He is a very capable person and was valued more than me at that time. If he had not gone to Nanjing, he would be even better than me now."
"Ah..." Gu Ye was stunned for a moment and asked again: "Sir, why did he go to Nanjing again? Was he forced?"
"No..." Takeuchi shook his head and explained: "He is a very capable and thoughtful intelligence officer. Unfortunately, his ideas are somewhat contradictory to the mainstream and too firm, so he wanted to verify them himself.
.
At that time, there was a person above who admired his ability, but was troubled by his insistence on ideas, and wanted to let him experience it. For this purpose, he got a legendary figure to work in the espionage team for him.
It's a pity that the legendary figure didn't want him to test his ideas in his intelligence team, so he restricted him very tightly. Later, the person who admired him died of illness, and he was gradually forgotten.
Later, because his group was split into two lines, its importance was greatly reduced. He had the opportunity to verify his ideas, but not many people were paying attention to him anymore."
After listening to this, Tan Ye asked again: "Sir, was this accident caused by the failure of his idea to verify it?"
"No..." Takeuchi shook his head and replied: "Although his idea is a bit eccentric, when it comes to hiding it, it is very feasible, but it has great limitations."
Having said this, Takeuchi paused for a while before continuing: "Taniye, you need to understand that accomplishing something does not entirely depend on your personal ability, but also on the cooperation of the entire team.
The problem this time may have been with the Chinese person in charge of the intelligence team. He was caught off guard and found by those people.
So when you investigate this matter, you should focus on the Chinese people they are responsible for. If you find out who happened to be involved, you should be able to find the crux of the incident."
"Hey, I understand..." Gu Ye responded, staying where he was and not leaving.
Seeing this, Takeuchi asked: "Tani Ye, is there anything else?"
Hearing this, Yano stepped forward to Takeuchi and asked in a low voice: "Sir, are the rumors about Chief Kato true?"
"Rumors?...What's the matter?"
"Ah...sir, you don't know?"
Takeuchi shook his head and said: "Our Section Chief Kato has basically not taken care of anything since he came here. Most of the affairs are handled by me. When does he have time to learn about the rumors? Tell me now.
!”
"Hey...Sir, here's the thing. There are rumors outside that Chief Kato came here to save a woman. The woman has a weak relationship with him, so I want to ask the chief if this is true.
.”
After hearing this, Takeuchi frowned, thought for a while, and said: "I don't know whether this is true or not, but Section Chief Kato asked me when he first came here if he could think of a way to rescue the captured people.
After it came out, he never mentioned it again after I vetoed it. Could it be related to this?
By the way, do you know where this rumor came from? Is it credible? Please tell me what other rumors there are."
Hearing this, Yan Ye said: "Sir, the news came from other departments of the consulate. The source was a few staff members who had just been transferred from China. They all came here for gold plating. They may know some secrets that we don't know.
The probability is true.
There are also other rumors, saying that Chief Kato once hooked up with a woman, and that woman's relative had become very successful in recent years and became a high official. Chief Kato wanted to abandon his old wife and marry the woman to curry favor with him, and he also tried every means to gain credit for the woman.
But something seems to have happened to the woman. Chief Kato went to Shanghai with all his efforts this time just to find a way to rescue the woman.
Sir, I made some inquiries privately, and it seems that the big shot has the same surname as the woman who suddenly landed in Nanjing during the last investigation. Chief Kato is not really here for this matter!"
"Don't talk nonsense about Shangguan. How can Section Chief Kato be the kind of person you say he is?" Even though Takeuchi said this, he actually believed it 90% of the time.
As Takeuchi's promoted confidant, Tanino immediately understood the meaning and quickly smiled and said: "Yes, yes... the rumors are not credible."
After saying that, Tanano said again: "Sir, this Section Chief Kato seems to be a different person from us. Isn't he a little close to the people from the consulate and the navy?"
After hearing this, Takeuchi frowned, and after a while he said: "Let me tell you about this matter! In case you make any mistakes.
Our Special High-Tech Department is affiliated with the Ministry of the Interior and is technically a government department. However, our intelligence work in China mainly cooperates with the Army, so there are gradually two factions within the company.
One faction is pro-government, with its main forces concentrated in the country, and the other is pro-military, with its main forces concentrated within China, which is us.
This Section Chief Garten belongs to the pro-government faction. Although he was in China before, he did not pay much attention to the affairs here and had more contact with people from the government.
This time he was sent to Shanghai to manage us directly. On the one hand, it may be because he is operating inside, and on the other hand, the Shanghai banknote incident has also affected the domestic pro-government T&T Hi-Tech and wants to intervene here.
"
"That's it. Then won't the people in the northeast stop it?"
"It must have been stopped, but if it had been successful, he wouldn't have come here."
Hearing this, Tanino couldn't help but ask another question: "Sir, if that woman is really related to Chief Kato, then the affairs in Nanjing and Shanghai are inseparable from him, right?
You must know that he arranged for that woman to come in. Our investigation into the accident in Nanjing has all pointed the finger at that woman. That woman has no ability, but she must be restless in Nanjing. The reason for the exposure is most likely her.
And the person who intervened in the large amount of money we sent must be Chief Kato! After all, he is the root of all this..."
"Okay..." Takeuchi stopped Tanino's verbal criticism and said: "The matter was caused by our Shanghai High-Tech Co., Ltd. Who is responsible if we don't bear it?"
"I……"
"That's enough..." Takeuchi shouted sharply, which scared Tanye into shutting up, and he was a little trembling for a moment.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing this, Takeuchi's face softened and he said calmly: "We can't get involved in the high-level struggle. It's useless no matter how much we talk about it. From now on, we can do things with peace of mind and stop thinking about these things.
Some or not.”
"Hey……"
"By the way, Ozawa seems restless these days, right? What has he done?"
Hearing this, Yan Ye couldn't help complaining: "Sir, it's not that Ozawa is restless, but that he's gone too far. He has connected a bunch of people these days and is working against us all day long."
"Connected in series? Who is connected in series?"
"He is usually not welcomed, ignored, or just hangs around there. By the way, some of the former Chief Sakai's people were also dragged over by him."
When Takeuchi heard this, he didn't care much and continued to ask: "No one promoted by Chief Iwasa can get close to him, right?"
"No……"
"That's good, remember to see who is firmly with us, write it down, and let them keep a low profile during this period, tolerate it as much as they can, and try not to conflict with each other."
After hearing this, Gu Ye nodded despite being unwilling.
"Okay, capable people have been promoted by Commander Iwasa back then. What can they accomplish with these crooked people? Will they be disgraced in the end?
What you have to do now is not to get involved with them, and get yourself out so that if anything happens you won't be implicated. They can't stay here for too long anyway."
"Hey... By the way, sir, Ozawa also took away a lot of files in the name of Chief Kato. It seems that he is planning something. Do you need to take care of it?"
"No need, anyway, I keep all the important things in my room, so he can look at them as he pleases!"
After some time passed, Tanino exited Takeuchi's office with a smile on his face. From Kato's office not far away, Ozawa also exited with a smile. The two looked at each other, the smile on their faces disappeared, and they walked towards each other.
