"Captain, don't worry," Jiangzhou took back Geng Chaozhong's file again, "This man is very interesting. I will tell you in detail later."
"Well, go on." Muto nodded.
"After the death of Colonel Ono Jiro, the second leader Noda Mukatoshi who took over also died unexpectedly shortly after. The murderer is unknown. However, Noda was killed by a long-distance sniper, and the bullet was shot from his mouth.
We checked and it was also a 7.62 caliber bullet."
"So, the first time this gunman took action was to assassinate Noda Mingtoshi, the leader of our Qingshan Mansion?" Muto asked.
"No, the first time we took action was against the Party Mediation Office. At that time, the Party Mediation Office was chasing the Red Party members by the trestle. This mysterious gunman appeared for the first time. He attacked from behind and killed more than ten agents from the Party Mediation Office.
This is the first time he appears." Jiangzhou Kazuo replied.
"What do you want to explain?" Muto looked into Ezhou Kazuo's eyes.
"I want to explain two points," Kazuo Jiangzhou's eyes shone with wisdom. "First, when the mysterious gunman started his first attack, he killed people from the Party Mediation Office. At that time, the Secret Service had not yet been established, and the Party Mediation Office was the only one.
Representing the secret service in Nanjing, does this mean that he is definitely not a member of the Kuomintang faction?"
"Of course, we have already guessed that he is from the Soviet Union." Muto nodded.
"No," Kazuo Eshu shook his head, "We guess he is a Soviet. The biggest reason is because he attacked our Empire of Japan and killed Noda Mingtoshi of the 'Aoyama Mansion'. But this is not sufficient at all.
Due to the conditions, Nanjing, the Red Party, and the Soviet Union may all take action against us, and even any Chinese may take action against us, so we cannot be sure whether he is a Soviet person at all."
"Okay, continue on." Muto suddenly became interested.
"The second time he took action, he killed Noda Xiangtoshi, but we know that although the Cheka has power in Qingdao, it mainly seeks economic interests locally and has never engaged in assassination plots. It has always been at peace with us for so many years.
Why do you want to suddenly assassinate Noda Mingtoshi, who just took over?"
"Maybe Noda Mingtoshi threatened the local Soviet intelligence agency?" Muto touched his chin.
"Impossible," Kazuo Jiangzhou shook his head, "This is too ridiculous. Even in Harbin in the Far East, the Soviets did not take such drastic measures against us. Why would they assassinate someone who posed no threat to them in a remote island city?
He had just taken over as the head of intelligence? What’s more, at that time, Marshal Zhang from the Northeast was preparing to attack the Soviets on the Middle East Road. Why did the Soviets want to stimulate our Empire of Japan at this time and create a passive situation of making enemies on both sides? "
"Yes, you are right. There was absolutely no reason for the Soviets to assassinate Noda." Muto nodded repeatedly.
"In addition, this gunman first appeared to rescue the Red Party, and the one who is so keen on rescuing the Red Party can only be another Red Party. This is the most direct reason. People's positions and motives can be very complicated.
But his first shot is the shot that best illustrates his stance, I firmly believe this." Kazuo Ezhou said.
"Is it possible that the Cheka is helping the Red Party? You know, they have always been closely connected." Muto asked.
"No, the party's mediation office has been rounding up the Red Party for two consecutive years since the Communist Party was purged in 2007. There have been no less than ten roundups in Shandong, and there have been at least five similar arrests in Zhanqiao, but the Cheka
When did it take action? The Cheka would not work so hard for the Red Party, let alone take such a big risk to help the Red Party one against ten." Kazuo Ezhou said.
"It makes sense," Muto nodded repeatedly. "We in the Japanese Empire know the nature of the Russians very well."
"So, I judge that this person must not be from the Cheka, let alone the Soviet Union. He is a Chinese and a Red Party member!" Jiangzhou Kazuo said categorically.
"It's interesting," Muto smiled, stood up, opened the office door, and said with a smile:
"I can see that you still have a lot to say. Let's go. You've been holding it back in the house for a long time. Come take a walk with me and we'll talk as we walk."
"good."
Jiangzhou Kazuo stood up embarrassedly. The air in the room was too turbid. He had stayed here for more than a week and almost lived and ate here. The whole room was filled with an unpleasant smell.
The two walked out of the door and came to the yard. Muto looked at the bare soil slope to the west. There used to be a willow tree there, but it had been sawed off a few days ago.
Because, that night, the mysterious gunman hid in that tree and killed "Fang Tu".
"But as for firearms, I don't believe that the Red Party can obtain such powerful weapons." Muto said while looking at the slope.
"The Red Party can't get this kind of high-precision rifle, and the Soviet Union can't get it either. Only the Germans have this kind of rifle, so we can't judge whether he is a Soviet person based on this," said Kazuo Jiangzhou.
"Okay, let's not talk about the gun for now. You can continue." Muto nodded and motioned for Kazuo Eshu to continue his analysis.
"Well," Kazuo Jiangzhou nodded, with a somewhat mysterious smile on his face, "The most interesting thing is that the party mediator, the Geng Chaozhong I just mentioned, assassinated the first president of 'Qingshan Mansion'
Ono Jiro, the leader of the association, and the mysterious gunman assassinated Noda Mingtoshi, the second president of the 'Aoyama Mansion', don't you think this is strange? Or is this just a coincidence?"
"That's right!" Muto slapped his head suddenly, "What you said makes sense. This is definitely not a coincidence. The Party Mediation Office and the mysterious gunman targeted the 'Qingshan Mansion' at the same time. This is too outrageous!"
"Also," Jiangzhou Kazuo laughed sinisterly, "this Geng Chaozhong once performed a mission in Manchuria, and the time when he went to Manchuria exactly coincided with the time when many of our imperial elites in Manchuria were assassinated!"
Snapped!
Muto slapped his thigh suddenly and walked quickly around the yard several times. It took more than ten minutes before he walked back to Kazuo Jiangzhou.
"Is this guy the murderer?" Muto frowned, "Didn't you just say that he was dead?"
"Yes, he is dead," Jiangzhou Kazuo frowned, seeming a little unbelievable, "The files of the Party Mediation Office said that he was working with Liu Yiban, who was the deputy director of the Party Mediation Office at the time, and Daocheng
A businessman was killed in the famous restaurant 'Baihuaju' in the island city."
"There must be something wrong here," Wu Teng frowned, "There must be something wrong with the death of Geng Chaozhong!"
"However," Muto suddenly frowned again, "such an obvious loophole cannot be missed by the eyes of Doihara's agency chief."
"Of course the head of the agency can't fail to see it. He just lacks information. You know, the file of Geng Chaozhong came to me just now. Before that, we didn't know that it was Geng Chaozhong who assassinated Xiaoye.
, let alone know that he has been to Manchuria." Kazuo Ezhou said.
