Japanese cargo ships can easily carry thousands or even thousands of tons of cargo.
If the army unified them and burned them down, the losses would be too great.
"Repeat what Match said word for word." Shigekawa Hidekazu said sternly.
"Okay." Niu Shaoshan thought to himself. Fortunately, he paid attention, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to do this.
After listening to Niu Shaoshan's words, Shigekawa Hidekazu immediately picked up the phone and reported to the head of Japan's Haigu Army Secret Service, Amakani Tatsumi.
When Yu Guanxun learned that the military commander had taken action against a cargo ship, he was very nervous.
He asked Shigekawa Hidekazu to immediately send people to check, be sure to find Juntong's incendiary bombs, and arrest the saboteurs of Juntong.
"Hi!" Hidekazu Shigekawa received the order and responded repeatedly.
After putting down the phone, he immediately called the police station. However, when the call was answered, Hidekazu Shigekawa suddenly pressed the phone with his hand and hung up.
Later, he called Yu Guanxun again. The matter could not be investigated for the time being, and he could only notify all Japanese passengers and cargo at Xingang Terminal to conduct self-inspections.
"Mochuan-kun, you are condoning the anti-Japanese elements." Yu Guanxun said angrily after hearing Maochuan Hidekazu's request.
"Your Excellency, Agency Chief, if we investigate the arsonist now, the military commander will definitely know about it. The inside information I carefully arranged will be exposed. Besides, it is too late to investigate now." Shigekawa Hidekazu said with a sigh.
Of course he wanted to find the anti-Japanese elements who set the fire as quickly as possible.
However, Match can take the initiative to tell Niu Shaoshan, and if he checks it himself, can he find it?
"Leave this matter to you, I just want the result." Yu Guanxun said thoughtfully.
He didn't care how Hidekazu Shigekawa investigated, as long as he could catch the anti-Japanese elements and avoid the losses of the Japanese Empire.
"Mr. Maochuan, I shouldn't be exposed so soon, right?" Niu Shaoshan was beside him, listening to Maochuan Xiuhe's report, feeling a little dissatisfied.
Match trusted him, otherwise, he would not have told him such confidential information.
"If we investigated the Xingang Pier before the incident and Match knew about it, your identity would be exposed." Shigekawa Hidewa looked at Niu Shaoshan with disappointment and said dissatisfied.
As his undercover agent, Niu Shaoshan was not very qualified.
He also secretly blamed himself for not understanding the match's idea.
With Match's caution, he shouldn't trust Niu Shaoshan so much.
After all, burning the Japanese cargo ship was a very confidential operation.
The reason why the detective team was asked to investigate secretly was just in case.
"Don't they still trust me?" Niu Shaoshan was startled.
"Don't you look at who Match is? If he trusted others easily, Haigu Station would have been taken away several times. You must be extremely careful when dealing with him," Maokawa Hidewa warned.
In fact, as long as someone goes to Xingang Pier to investigate the cargo ship, they have already fallen into Lu Chengzhou's trap.
If we only notify the Japanese cargo ship, nothing will happen.
After all, these cargo ships are basically all Japanese. These people have a strong sense of confidentiality and will not be noticed by the military commander.
"I was careless." Niu Shaoshan quickly figured it out. At this time, once the Japanese investigate the Xingang Pier, the military commander may know about it.
Once the military commander knew about it, wouldn't he doubt his sincerity?
He suddenly broke into a cold sweat. Fortunately, Shigekawa Hidekazu reminded him, otherwise he would have fallen into the match trap without realizing it.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, Shigekawa Hidekazu suddenly received news that the Yingkou Maru, which had sailed from Xingang Pier in the morning, suddenly caught fire, and the entire cotton on the ship was quickly burned.
Think about it, there was a boatload of cotton with five time-incendiary bombs stuffed inside. It was night again and there was no time to put out the fire. It would be great to escape for one's life.
Shigekawa Hidekazu was completely confused. He did not expect that Juntong would actually do this.
At the same time, he was secretly glad that he did not investigate the Xingang Pier in the afternoon. Otherwise, not only would the Yingkou Maru incendiary bombs not be found, but Niu Shaoshan would also be exposed in vain.
Shigekawa Hidekazu quickly called the police station and informed them to go all out to investigate and first detain all the stevedores at the dock.
The reason why military reunification can succeed must be in collusion with the stevedores.
"No matter what the price, we must catch him." Shigekawa Hidekazu said angrily.
A whole ship's worth of cotton, said to have contained three thousand tons, was burned by the military. It was such a pity.
Shigekawa Hidekazu did not know that during the comprehensive investigation by the police, Zhao Hanjie had already left the Xingang Pier with two close friends.
Zhao Hanjie was the boss of Xingang Pier. His departure quickly attracted the attention of the police station.
Therefore, the police station quickly reported to Shigekawa Hidekazu that the culprit was none other than Zhao Hanjie and his two companions.
However, after Zhao Hanjie finished work normally, he quietly left the dock at night and reportedly returned to his hometown.
After hearing the news, Shigekawa Hidekazu was furious, but what could he do?
We can’t send all the other workers at Xingang Terminal to the labor camp, right?
Xingang Terminal is an important material supply terminal for the Japanese army. Without Chinese stevedores, Japan would suffer even greater losses.
Although the arsonist escaped, Hidekazu Shigekawa still gained something.
He had already guessed the purpose of Match. Yingkou Pill was the Xingang Pier that he left in the morning, and Match was Niu Shaoshan who he told about in the afternoon.
In other words, when Niu Shaoshan learned the news, the Yingkou Maru had already left the Xingang Pier.
At this time, even if the Japanese side fully investigates, there will be no results.
Perhaps, the only result is to expose Niu Shaoshan.
Fortunately, Shigekawa Hidekazu did not do this at the time. He only notified all Japanese cargo ships to conduct self-inspections and did not alert anyone at the dock.
Although it was very late, Maokawa Hidekazu went to Niu Shaoshan's house in person.
"Congratulations, you passed the match test." Maokawa Hidewa said with a smile when he saw Niu Shaoshan in clothes.
"What test?" Niu Shaoshan was confused.
"According to the investigation, the Yingkou Maru timed incendiary bomb was placed by Zhao Hanjie, a stevedore at the Xingang Terminal, and others. When Match told you the news, the Yingkou Maru had already left the Xingang Terminal. The reason why he told you is that there is only one
The purpose is to test whether you are sincere in resisting Japan." Shigekawa Hidekazu said with a sigh.
"So, I was almost exposed?" Niu Shaoshan was startled.
"Not bad, just a little bit short." Shigekawa Hideka said slowly.
Everyone will be nervous when they hear that there are incendiary bombs on Japanese cargo ships.
At that time, Yu Guanxun asked him to find Juntong's timed incendiary bomb at all costs.
However, the Yingkou Maru had long since left the Xingang Pier. Even if he had extraordinary abilities, he would not be able to find the incendiary bombs.
What is the difference between finding a few small incendiary bombs among 3,000 tons of cotton and finding a needle in a haystack?
