Muto and Jiangzhou looked at each other, their faces showing excitement.
"Check! We must check this Geng Chaozhong's information, his origins, his details, and how he died in the end, and whether he is dead or not!" Muto waved his hand fiercely.
"Colonel, although we speculate like this, there is another possibility that Geng Chaozhong is really dead, but his gun fell into the hands of others. Otherwise, he would not have been able to fire again for two years.
One shot passed. Also, how did this person get this gun? This is also a major doubt, and it is also a point that is very likely to overturn our conclusion." Kazuo Ezhou's expression remained calm.
"You are right, I have thought of it too," Muto nodded, "But this is an idea after all, and there is no problem with the logic for the time being. In addition, we have a lot of overseas Chinese in Qingdao, so it is relatively easy to investigate. Send someone
In the past, if I was specifically responsible for this matter, I might actually be able to find some clues."
"Okay," Jiangzhou Kazuo nodded, "but it's not possible to send people. It's not appropriate to let too many people know about this matter. Besides, they can't figure out the situation even if they go there. It's better for me to go there in person."
"Um......."
Wu Teng lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Okay, it's been relatively peaceful here in Beiping recently. It's good for you to go there. However, it's not safe for you to go alone. It's better to pick someone from the special higher education courses who can speak Chinese."
Yes, let’s go there with you!”
"Is Chinese better?"
Jiangzhou Kazuo frowned slightly. The special higher education courses have suffered heavy losses in the past few months. Those who are good at Chinese have almost died a long time ago. Apart from himself, I really can't find anyone who is particularly good at Chinese.
"Let's take Taro Watanabe! I think this guy speaks Chinese pretty well. When we go out, everyone asks him to buy things. Just take him there," Muto said.
"good."
Kazuo Jiangzhou nodded. Taro Watanabe grew up in Rehe and lived in Shanghai for a long time. He speaks Chinese very fluently and is smart. He is indeed a good choice.
"Watanabe, come here!" Muto waved his hand and greeted Yun Wei, who was standing guard in the distance.
Yun Wei saw that Wu Teng and Jiang Zhou had been chatting for a long time. When he heard Wu Teng greeting him, he quickly picked up his spear, ran over quickly, and bowed:
"Colonel, please give instructions!"
"You, change into casual clothes and get ready, buy two train tickets to Qingdao, and follow Major Jiangzhou to Qingdao tomorrow," Muto instructed.
"Hey Yi, I obey your orders!" Yun Wei replied loudly.
Yun Wei accepted the order, changed into casual clothes, and got out through the back door of the Special Higher Education Course, but he kept muttering in his heart.
Going to Qingdao with Kazuo Jiangzhou?
What the hell is Muto doing?
It has been a while since he came to the Special High School to lurk. Muto has always arranged for himself to receive formal training at the Military Police Station, but it only lasts for a month. Is this a sign that he will be reused?
Yun Wei thought for a while and walked to the Mafengwo Alley near the station. There was a newly opened grocery store here. The shop owners were an old man and an old woman. They usually sold scissors, thread, melon seeds, peanuts, fruits, paper and other sundries.
, the Special Higher Education Department also sent people to do a background check, but no problems were found.
Of course, no problem could be found. The old man was over sixty years old, and the old lady was shaking when she walked. The Special Higher Education Department had never found anyone who was so old and worked as a spy.
However, Yun Wei knew that this grocery store was the cover point arranged by Brother Six for him.
After entering the grocery store, Yun Wei first grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the bag at the door, and while chewing them, he said: "Old man, bring me a pack of cigarettes!"
When old man Geng handed over a pack of cigarettes, Yun Wei whispered: "Tell Brother Six, there is a new situation. Muto sent me to Qingdao on business. I don't know what the specific purpose was, but Kazuo Jiangzhou got a car of files to study.
After several days, I met with Muto today and gave me this order."
Old Man Geng nodded and said, "Okay, five copper coins!"
Yun Wei took the cigarettes, paid for them, and walked out quickly. He still had to go to Peking Railway Station to buy a ticket, but he wouldn't be delayed for too long.
Over there, when Old Man Geng saw Yun Wei going out, he immediately walked to the back room and picked up the phone. Soon after, Old Man Geng's deep voice came from the room:
"What, not here?!"
.........
Tianjin Wei, British Concession, Wei Sha Mansion.
This is a famous Western restaurant in Tianjin. Geng Chaozhong, Wang Tianmu, and Chen Gongshu each wore a white napkin around their necks, holding knives and forks in their hands, and they were pretending to handle the steaks on the plate.
But the steak was too little, and Wang Tianmu finished it in just a few bites. He touched his belly and shouted to the waiter:
"Wei Chuisi!"
A foreign waiter came over in a graceful manner, bowed and said:
"may i help you, sir?"
"Medium rare, give me two more plates!" Wang Tianmu shouted.
"Pfft!" Geng Chaozhong and Chen Gongshu laughed out loud.
"I'm sorry, sir, our steaks are only medium rare, medium rare, but not medium rare. I'm sorry." The waiter suppressed a smile and said teasingly in Chinese.
"If you bake it more, won't it be eight points? Is there something wrong with your brain?" Wang Tianmu said dissatisfied.
"Brother, please don't say anything. The steak is only 50-79. How can it be medium-rare?" Chen Gongshu next to him looked helpless. He turned to the waiter and said, "Here are three plates of medium-rare. Thank you."
The waiter bowed and walked away.
"Brother Tianmu, you have to eat and hold back your words. We brothers cannot afford to disgrace that man!" Geng Chaozhong also said with a smile.
Wang Tianmu is from the Northeast. Geng Chaozhong would tease him in Northeastern dialect whenever he had something to do. Wang Tianmu still didn't recognize it. His old face turned red, he picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, covering up:
"I once ate at an Italian restaurant in Nanjing's Embassy Street, and it was medium rare. You two are very strange."
"Okay, okay, I'll get you a medium rare next time. If he can't bake it, I'll kill him with a gun for you, okay!" Chen Gongshu said helplessly.
"It's just eight points. If you don't believe me, I will take you back to Nanjing!" Wang Tianmu said fiercely.
"Okay, okay, brother, you are right. We are ignorant. I think we should talk about business!" Geng Chaozhong was secretly amused and quickly smoothed things over.
"Well, let's get down to business," Wang Tianmu nodded, "Kingshu, what are you going to do about this operation?"
"It's best to do it together and fast. If we can't protect them all, these guys will refund the money and then report it to the Japanese. Then we will be in danger." Chen Gongshu said.
What the three of them were discussing was Zhang Jingyao's stolen money. Among the North China officials Zhang Jingyao bribed, a large portion were from Tianjin, so they needed to coordinate their actions with Chen Gongshu.
"Well, this is necessary." Wang Tianmu nodded, "But this matter is at stake. The army should not move yet. If they are forced hard, it will be difficult to deal with a mutiny. Let's start with those officials.
"
"Yes, forget about the military. The focus is still on the civilian officials." Geng Chaozhong also agreed.
