Geng Chaozhong was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized that this was what Wang Tianmu had been trying to do for a long time!
"Brother, that thing is all about luck. If you get it right once, can you get it right again and again? Have you forgotten the principal's lesson?" Geng Chaozhong said helplessly.
When the principal was young, he was engaged in futures and stock trading in Shanghai and went bankrupt. This was something that everyone knew but did not dare to say. Seeing that Wang Tianmu was a bit obsessed, Geng Chaozhong simply mentioned this to make him sober up.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Wang Tianmu fell silent. After a long time, he finally spoke:
"Forget it, let's not mention this and get down to business. After today's incident, you won't be able to stay at Yanda any longer! How about I arrange a job as an embassy counselor for you? I think you are quite suitable for this kind of job.
Works for cultural people.”
"Don't worry, let's wait and see..." Geng Chaozhong looked out the window.
.......
"Report to Lieutenant Colonel Kawasaki! Colonel Muto is suspected...suspected...of martyring his country, please give your instructions!"
At the Peking Military Police Special High School Headquarters, Tanaka, covered in darkness, was reporting the situation to Lieutenant Colonel Kawasaki, the second-in-command of the Military Police, with a face full of fear.
"The colonel died for his country? What happened?!"
Lieutenant Colonel Kawasaki had a look of shock on his face, but if anyone looked carefully, they would find that there was a hint of joy on Kawasaki's seemingly shocked face.
Lieutenant Colonel Kawasaki was Muto's nominal deputy and the deputy captain and chief of staff of the Peking Military Police. But in reality, the position of Lieutenant Colonel Kawasaki was very embarrassing. If he were in Japan, Lieutenant Colonel would not even be qualified to hold meetings.
Because according to the Japanese military system, the top leader of the army has absolute authority. Unless the commander is killed in action, the deputy has almost no real power and is a complete backup. Muto usually ignores Lieutenant Colonel Kawasaki at all, and Kawasaki never asks.
The gendarmerie is almost an invisible person.
Now, this "spare tire" and "invisible man" is suppressing the various emotions of shock, joy, and confusion in his heart, and patiently asking about Tanaka's passing.
Tanaka lowered his head and tremblingly narrated the "passage" that had just happened. Kawasaki frowned and thought about Tanaka's narration. After a while, he asked:
"You mean, when you saw the colonel and five military policemen vomiting blood and falling to the ground, why didn't you call for support immediately?!"
"Report to Lieutenant Colonel, when I entered, Colonel and others were already dead. The poisonous cyanide administered by the other party was incurable. I rushed to the front door and found that Luo Yongqian, the director of Yanda Police Station, was running out, so I quickly chased him.
I tried to get out, but the guy was too cunning, and it was dark, so he ran away. When I went back, the house was already on fire. I rushed in to put out the fire, but it was too late! I couldn't protect the Colonel's body.
, This subordinate deserves death!" Tanaka looked grief-stricken.
Looking at Tanaka, who was completely black, with burnt skin and flesh, and even a faint smell of barbecue, Kawasaki couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic, paused, and then spoke again:
"Are you sure that Colonel was already dead when you saw him?"
"Hey, I can confirm that Colonel was dead before the fire! Also, the fire has been put out and the body will be brought back soon!" Tanaka replied.
"Baga! Who told you to touch the scene?!" Kawasaki suddenly became furious.
"Captain, the house has been burned to ashes. It is difficult to find any clues. In addition, there are more and more people watching. I am afraid that the Chinese people will see it and spread rumors, so I ordered the military police who arrived to seal off the incident site." , Please also ask the captain to atone for his sins!" Tanaka replied in fear.
"Hmph, even so, you were ordered to protect the colonel, but you rashly left the colonel's side, causing the colonel to have an accident. Isn't it a fault?"
The sound of captain made Kawasaki feel much better. He snorted coldly and softened his tone a lot.
"Reporting to the commander, there were five military police in the room to protect the colonel at that time. In addition, the colonel ordered me to be on guard outside the house. I never expected that an accident would happen. Now I understand that Luo Yongqian is the spy. He was the one who protected the colonel between the colonel and the military police. They poisoned their food and murdered the colonel!" Tanaka's face was filled with anger.
"Immediately order the arrest of Luo Yongqian, and where is his home?" Kawasaki suddenly thought of something.
"Report to the captain, I have already ordered people to go to Luo Yongqian's home, and someone should be back soon." Tanaka replied.
"Yes, you are very capable." Kawasaki nodded slightly. The burnt-faced staff sergeant in front of him seemed to have some ability. It was rare to be able to keep his mind calm about such an important matter.
At this moment, there was a noise in the yard, and then, a military policeman led Yun Wei in. Yun Wei glanced at Tanaka, and after the two exchanged glances, Yun Wei saluted Kawasaki. ,Loudly:
"Report to Lieutenant Colonel that the Colonel's body has been brought back. Please give your instructions!"
"Go out and take a look." Kawasaki nodded slightly.
Several people came to the yard and saw a row of six corpses placed on white cloth. Each one was almost burned to charcoal. The many military police standing there also looked pale and looked at a loss.
Kawasaki walked up to the six corpses and began to carefully identify them, but these corpses had been burned beyond recognition and could not be identified at all. Kawasaki patiently looked at them for a long time, finally gave up, glanced at everyone present and asked:
"Does any of you know what the colonel's mission is today?"
"I don't know. The colonel only ordered me to block the intersection and not allow anyone to go out. We don't know anything else." One of the military police second lieutenants answered.
"We don't know either." Several people shook their heads.
"What about you?" Kawasaki looked at Yun Wei who came in just now.
"Report to the Lieutenant Colonel. The Colonel received a tip at noon yesterday that Wang Tianmu was operating near Yenching University, so he arranged this operation to capture Wang Tianmu in one fell swoop. We stayed at the police station in the afternoon until the director of the police station, Luo Yongqian He told me that he found traces of Wang Tianmu, so I went out to investigate, but I didn't expect..." Yun Wei said in a low voice.
"Where did the tip come from?" Kawasaki asked.
"It was provided by a Fuxing Society agent captured some time ago. The colonel has been ordering him to search around Peiping to find Wang Tianmu's whereabouts." Tanaka interjected.
"Where are the others?" Kawasaki asked sharply.
"I don't know." Everyone shook their heads.
Kawasaki sighed helplessly. There were not many people that Colonel Muto trusted, and all of them died some time ago, so now everyone is confused.
But now at least one thing is certain, the police station chief Luo Yongqian was the informant arranged by the colonel, but he betrayed the colonel, which led to the failure of the operation, and Colonel Muto died for his country.
After a pause, Kawasaki finally made a decision, waved his hand and ordered sternly:
"Investigate overnight, the traitor from the Fuxing Society, and Luo Yongqian, use all our strength to arrest them!"
