As Yamamoto finished speaking, Hirata Nagayama looked at Xiao Zhanyuan and felt something was wrong, and he couldn't help but touch the gun on his waist with his hand.
In Hirata Yongshan's mind, he actually did not doubt Xiao Zhanyuan. After all, the two of them had been in contact for a long time and knew each other somewhat.
Therefore, Hirata Yongshan did not think that Xiao Zhanyuan had the courage to embezzle these burial objects. After all, his life was always in the hands of the Japanese.
But Shan Wenduo's words are very reasonable, not to mention that the military police captain knows very well that money and silk can move people's hearts, especially traitors like Xiao Zhanyuan, who are extremely greedy and have no bottom line, so they also have some doubts.
Seeing the looks in the eyes of the two Japanese colonels, Xiao Zhanyuan immediately knew that these two people were suspicious of him. If Yamamoto was the only one who suspected him, the traitor wouldn't be too worried, but the look in Hirata Yongshan's eyes made Xiao Zhanyuan feel bad.
, I know that if this matter is not explained clearly, my life may not be saved.
After thinking intensely in his mind for a while, Xiao Zhanyuan thought of a way to extricate himself, so he immediately said: "Colonel Hirata, think about it carefully, I have limited strength and cannot do this at all, let alone if I really want to
Even if I try to steal these funerary objects, I won't do it now. After all, the things were lost in my hands, and I will take responsibility no matter what.
In addition, these dozens of brothers are also my direct descendants. You all know these people. If I really have any ideas, I will not sacrifice them."
"Then you have to find a way to explain this matter."
Hirata Yongshan didn't really believe that Xiao Zhanyuan dared to swallow these funerary objects alone, so after hearing his explanation, he believed it a little and his tone softened a little. Although he was very harsh, he didn't mean to be particularly suspicious.
Hearing Hirata Yongshan's words, Xiao Zhanyuan breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the other party no longer doubted him, and couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead.
In just a few minutes, Xiao Zhanyuan's forehead was covered with cold sweat, which showed the traitor's worry. After all, he knew that if he was suspected, he would be dead.
After looking at the situation in the yard again and then at the bodies on the ground, Xiao Zhanyuan said calmly: "Captain Hirata, please give me a few minutes and I will check the situation carefully."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Zhanyuan didn't wait for Hirata Yongshan to speak, and looked around to check the situation, focusing on the corpses on the ground.
Hirata Yongshan did not stop Xiao Zhanyuan's movements. Instead, he followed him forward, watching his movements and looking for clues at the same time.
Xiao Zhanyuan carefully checked the situation, and personally looked at each corpse, and finally reported to Hirata Yongshan: "Captain Hirata, I just looked at the bodies of these people and found that they were all killed with one knife. Three or four people were killed.
There were no signs of struggle, and the rest of the people were killed without any resistance.
According to my judgment, the people with signs of struggle should be the guards last night. However, although they struggled, they could not make a sound and could not serve as a warning.
As for the other people, they must have been killed in their sleep, because I carefully looked at the condition of each dead person and found that there was pain in the expressions of these dead people, and some of them had their eyes opened.
Being able to kill dozens of people without making any noise is enough to prove that the people who did it are elites. This kind of action ability is not something that ordinary people can achieve."
Following Xiao Zhanyuan's explanation, Hirata Yongshan completely let go of his doubts. After all, the military police captain had seen the situation just now.
Hirata Yongshan was a professional soldier, and he knew that such beautiful actions were not something that ordinary teams could accomplish. As for the traitors under Xiao Zhanyuan, he knew exactly what kind of traitors he had, so naturally he did not think that they could do such a beautiful thing.
things.
After thinking for a while, Hirata Yongshan asked solemnly: "Director Xiao, who do you think is the person who took action, or which party does it belong to?"
Hirata Nagayama grimaced, and then said cautiously: "Captain Hirata, the people around Shenyang, whether they are bandits or anti-Japanese armed forces, do not have the power. My subordinates believe that this time it was Guojiang Long who did it.
And although this operation is powerful, looking at the footprints in the yard, it means that there were not many people who took action, no more than thirty or forty people at most, so I think we can let the Special High School Department investigate."
Hirata Yongshan's expression changed a little, and then he said cautiously: "You mean, this matter was sent by people from Chongqing."
Xiao Zhanyuan nodded and said carefully: "The people who did it are all elites, and judging from their performance, they should have received special training, so besides Chongqing, I don't know who else can dispatch so many powerful people."
figure."
Hirata Yongshan solemnly said: "It seems that it is really possible that he is from Chongqing, and he is probably an agent of the Military Command Bureau."
Xiao Zhanyuan agreed and said: "Yes, as far as I know, the power of the Military Command Bureau is very powerful now, and they are sending agents to various places to collect intelligence and carry out anti-Japanese actions. So it would be very easy to send some elites to the Northeast.
normal."
Hirata Nagayama nodded again, thinking that it was very possible. After all, although Northeast China had been occupied for a long time and was flying the banner of the Puppet Manchukuo, the war between China and Japan had completely broken out. Then the Chinese government would naturally pay attention to this place and dispatch
Some agents came over to cause trouble, which was normal, so they began to think about the seriousness of the matter.
Hirata Nagayama also knew the Military Command Bureau very well and knew how powerful this department was, so he did not dare to look down upon it. Even though the Northeast had been controlled by the Japanese for nearly ten years, the military police captain did not dare to be careless.
At this time, Yamamoto Benta on the side said: "Mr. Hirata, this is just your guess. It does not mean that this matter was done by people from the Military Command Bureau. Moreover, the Northeast is our territory and the public security has always been good. Even if it is a person from the Military Command Bureau,
How could we have such accurate information when we came to the Northeast, so there must be an insider cooperating with them." After finishing speaking, he looked at Xiao Zhanyuan again.
Yamamoto Bunta was also a professional soldier, so he naturally knew that what Xiao Zhanyuan said was possible. After all, the battle situation this time was not something that even the average Japanese army could do.
However, he still doubted Xiao Zhanyuan. After all, the traitor was responsible for this matter. He did not understand the situation and could only judge based on ordinary circumstances.
Hearing what Yamamoto said, Hirata Nagayama said calmly: "Yamamoto-kun, Director Xiao has joined the imperial army for many years and has done many things. He will not betray him. This will not be good for him."
Hirata Yongshan still trusts Xiao Zhanyuan. After all, he is an obedient dog with outstanding abilities.
The most important thing is that Xiao Zhanyuan helped Hirata Yongshan arrest many anti-Japanese comrades, and there was no way out.
Hearing what Hirata Nagayama said, Yamamoto didn't say anything more, and then said calmly: "Hirata-kun, these things are missing, how are we going to explain to General Kaneda?"
Since Hirata Nagayama believed in Xiao Zhanyuan, Yamamoto Bunta was no longer meddlesome. This was not his task anyway, so he brought up the matter of the funerary objects.
After hearing Yamamoto's words, Hirata Nagayama solemnly said: "Don't worry, Yamamoto-kun, this happened not long ago. We still have a chance to solve the case. I will explain it to General Kaneda and recover the things as soon as possible."
After glancing at Hirata Nagayama, Yamamoto nodded, then stopped talking and walked aside alone, thinking about his own thoughts.
But Xiao Zhanyuan immediately spoke: "Captain Pingtian, judging from the current situation, these people acted last night. It has been a long time since now. We must investigate immediately."
Xiao Zhanyuan knew that if he could not recover these burial objects, he would be in great trouble, and even Hirata Yongshan would not be able to recover, so he immediately focused on the case.
Hirata Nagayama also knew the seriousness of the matter. After all, he could not recover the things. Although there was nothing wrong on the surface, he had offended the Japanese senior officials, so he immediately asked: "Director Xiao, what do you think?"
Xiao Zhanyuan said calmly: "Those items were quite large and needed to be transported by vehicle, so I followed the road to track them down and maybe I could find clues.
However, although these people have been walking for a long time, we have checkpoints on every road. These people are absolutely unable to pass with so many things, so they should be within a radius of more than ten miles.
, just find a nearby village to hide."
Hirata Yongshan nodded and immediately said: "Director Xiao, just follow this clue and find the funerary objects as soon as possible."
Xiao Zhanyuan nodded, and then continued: "Captain Pingtian, there is another point. Judging from the current situation, if these people are from the Military Command Bureau, they must be from other places, and they know our actions well. There are only two possibilities.
The first one is that their intelligence is very powerful, which means they have been in the Northeast for a while and have arranged people to lurk inside us, so I hope you will investigate.
The second possibility is that they have been sending people to keep an eye on us, so they are likely to arrange people to follow us near the gendarmerie and the police station. This will require disguise. Therefore, in order to keep our actions secret, we must expel the gendarmerie and the police station.
The idlers nearby are waiting.”
Through recent events, Xiao Zhanyuan realized that he should be being followed, but the other party was very powerful and was not discovered by him, so he put forward these two opinions.
For Hirata Yongshan, these are all trivial matters, and the people in the Military Control Bureau are not just a mob, and they deserve his careful treatment, so he simply said: "I will investigate the interior when I get back and clear out those idle people. What else do you have?"
If you have any ideas, just speak up."
Xiao Zhanyuan only thought of this, so he had no other suggestions. The two discussed it for a while and then went their separate ways.
