In the Special High School Office, Kawasaki looked at the several old subordinates in front of him and asked with a stern expression.
"The investigation is clear. We reviewed the intelligence files for the past six months and found that several files were mysteriously missing. Specifically, they were two files on Soviet gunmen sent from the Guandong Agency to Peking, and one top-secret intelligence sent from Nanjing to Peking.
There are three pieces of intelligence in total, and the investigation notes of Kazuo Eshu have also disappeared mysteriously. The theft of intelligence is absolutely not suspicious!" replied a Japanese soldier wearing round glasses.
"In other words, the death of Jiangzhou and the death of Colonel Muto should be the same thing?" Kawasaki frowned.
"Yes, my subordinates also judged it the same way!" the glasses officer replied.
"What about you? How is the internal investigation in the warehouse going?" Kawasaki turned his attention to another officer.
"Reporting to Lieutenant Colonel, after my secret investigation, I found that a cultural relic was missing from the warehouse. It was the "Herding Horse Picture" that Tanaka had obtained from the Forbidden City before. The warehouse custodian claimed that three days before Colonel Muto died, he counted the supplies.
I saw the cultural relics when I was there. But on the night of Osamu Muto's death, Tanaka entered the warehouse under your order and took some things away. He thought it was your intention, so he didn't interfere!" Another person said.
The soldier replied.
"This Tanaka is quite courageous!" Kawasaki sneered.
"What about you?" Kawasaki looked at an agent again.
"Lieutenant Colonel, I investigated the cause of death of Jiangzhou Kazuo in detail in Daocheng. After more than half a month of searching, the body has been found. It was thrown into the sea and washed up on the shore. It has long been decomposed. However, after our identification, the body's neck was fractured.
He was obviously strangled to death with heavy hands, definitely not something done by ordinary island city military police!" Another agent with a capable face answered.
"Haha, interesting, interesting..." Kawasaki couldn't help but sneered.
"Lieutenant Colonel, according to our comprehensive analysis, there must be two to three moles within the Peking Special High School. In addition to Tanaka, who can be sure, Taro Watanabe, who followed Kazuo Eshu to the island city, is also a major suspect!" The man wearing glasses
The officer spoke.
"Has the identity of Watanabe been found out?" Kawasaki had a sinister smile on his lips.
"It has been found out that this person came to Manchuria with the 'Pioneering Regiment' during the Taisho period, and then went to Shanghai, where he participated in the 128th Expatriate Uprising, and later joined the Black Dragon Society. After coming to Peiping, he made meritorious service while investigating Zhao Kezhen's identity, and was specially recruited by Osaku Muto.
Enter the special high school. There should be no doubt about his identity. The key point is whether he has contact with Tanaka and whether the two are accomplices!" the glasses officer replied.
"It seems that there is indeed something fishy about Mr. Muto's death!" Kawasaki slammed the table.
There are so many moles in the Special High School, so Muto's death was not careless at all, it was completely a well-planned murder!
"Lieutenant Colonel, do you want to arrest someone? After this period of observation, we found that Tanaka and Watanabe are very close, and they have gone to the same pub several times to drink. I think it is extremely possible that the two are accomplices.
High!" A cold light flashed behind the thin lenses of the bespectacled officer.
"Are there any other suspects?" Kawasaki thought for a moment and then asked.
"There are a few other people, one is Tanaka's former boss Matsuno, and several of Watanabe's friends within the Special High School Class. However, this Watanabe is a lively person, and is very popular within the Special High School Class, and he has good relationships with people.
It’s not a small number, it’s hard to determine how many people are involved!” the glasses officer replied.
"Well," Kawasaki nodded, "Baimu, it is related to the internal stability of our Super High School. We must investigate clearly before taking action. We must not cause too much chaos. Once the involvement is too wide, it will also affect the strength of our Peking Super High School.
A huge loss, can you understand this?"
"Hey, I understand! I have made a plan, please refer to it for details!"
The officer with white eyes and glasses was asked to submit a document and handed it to Kawasaki.
Kawasaki took over the action plan and watched it carefully, while the several officers standing in front of him waited quietly without saying a word, and the entire office fell into silence.
Half an hour later, Kawasaki finally raised his head, his gentle-looking eyes suddenly shot out a ray of light, and whispered: "Byakume, what do you think about the theft of intelligence?"
"The matter is obvious," Shirome had obviously already figured it out. "The purpose of stealing information was obviously to hide a truth, and Kazuo Ezhou went to the island city just to find out the truth. So whether it was Ezhou's death or Muto's death,
Death should all be related to this truth, there is no doubt about it!"
"Then can you find out what the truth is that Muto-kun and Jiangzhou have been investigating?" Kawasaki asked.
"The investigation is not clear. The key information has been destroyed long ago, and the remaining information is in disarray. It is difficult to find any clues. And I have contacted the Nanjing and Guandong Departments. The other party claimed that because the subject of the investigation is dead, the files
Only one copy has not been recorded." Bai Mu shook his head.
"So what do you mean, we can only get the truth by arresting people and interrogating them to extract confessions?" Kawasaki asked.
"Yes, this is the only way for the time being," Baime nodded, "However, we can continue to track Watanabe Taro and Tanaka to see who specifically has contacted them. This is also a more effective method.
But it may take a long time.”
Kawasaki nodded.
It would not be surprising for this kind of mole lurking inside to not take any action for several years if not ordered by superiors. Finding their contact partner may not happen overnight.
Moreover, with such a long follow-up, there is no guarantee that the other party will not arouse suspicion, and then I am afraid that it will be all in vain.
But if someone is arrested, there is no certainty that Tanaka will confess. If the trial fails, the truth that Tanaka and Watanabe tried so hard to hide may still not be available.
This is really a dilemma!
"Without arresting people, is it possible to find out the truth through other means? For example, find the original recorder of the file from the Kanto Agency?" Kawasaki suddenly asked.
"It's possible," Bai Mu's eyes also lit up, "However, even if the intelligence from the Guandong Agency can be restored, the intelligence from Nanjing was stolen from the Party Mediation Office by our insiders, and I'm afraid we can't make another copy."
"Oh..." Kawasaki fell into thought again.
After thinking for more than half an hour, Kawasaki seemed to have finally made up his mind. He waved his hand and ordered:
"Okay, this matter should not be delayed any longer. The longer the time goes, the greater the variables will become. Baimu, I will give you a warrant. From today on, all personnel transfers within the Super High School will be temporarily under your control. The red elements lurking within us must be eliminated.
