Chapter seven hundred and seventy seventh a little abnormal
Just after nine o'clock in the morning, three Japanese military vehicles quickly drove out of the gendarmerie and headed straight for the East Asia Trading House.
In the carriages of the three trucks, there were dozens of heavily armed Japanese soldiers, looking menacing.
What is particularly eye-catching is that there is a light machine gun on the front of each truck, letting people know that there is a big operation at a glance.
The truck travels very fast, even in crowded places, without any scruples.
The people in Tianjin reacted very quickly. Perhaps they had seen this kind of situation too many times, so when they saw the truck, they immediately stayed away so that no innocent people were hurt.
Twenty minutes later, three trucks drove up to the East Asia Trading House and lined up outside the main gate of the trading house. It was obvious at first sight that they had malicious intentions.
Then the soldiers on the truck quickly got out of the truck and surrounded the entire trading house.
As soon as the siege was completed, David Ikeda also got out of the passenger seat of the truck, and then waved his hand to signal the soldiers to knock on the door.
Following David Ikeda's wave, the Japanese soldiers immediately stepped forward and violently beat the door of the East Asia Trading House.
The door of the trading house was unlocked and was quickly opened by Japanese soldiers, revealing an empty courtyard.
"Major Ikeda, there doesn't seem to be anyone inside!"
Immediately a Japanese sergeant came over to report the situation.
"Go in and search?"
David Ikeda immediately ordered a search with a very bad tone and a ferocious expression on his face.
After David Ikeda gave an order, Japanese soldiers immediately entered the East Asia Trading House in large numbers, leaving only seven or eight people at the gate to prevent unexpected situations.
Although the trading house was large, there were many Japanese soldiers, and they quickly searched the basement.
At this time, the basement was empty, there was no one there, but there were some documents scattered in every corner.
After looking at these documents, David Ikeda showed a sense of helplessness, and even cursed: "Baga..."
The Japanese military police quickly searched the entire trading house. In addition to some documents, they also found a lot of controlled items in a wide range of categories.
The value of these controlled items is not low. Seeing that they were abandoned in an emergency made David Ikeda feel very good.
However, David Ikeda did not stay long. After the Japanese military police completed the search, he immediately returned to the military police with the documents.
As for the East Asia Trading Company, a few subordinates were left in charge and tracked down all the people involved in the case.
After returning to the Military Police, David Ikeda wanted to go directly to the interrogation room, but a captain came over and said respectfully: "Sir Ikeda, General Fukuda is looking for you."
"I'll go right away!"
David Ikeda immediately responded and then walked towards the office building. After all, he was only returning to the interrogation room for a show.
A few minutes later, David Ikeda appeared outside the military police captain's office.
He knocked gently on the door, and soon a slightly older voice came from inside: "Come in!"
Hearing this voice, David Ikeda pushed open the office door and walked in.
"Your Excellency General, I'm here!"
David Ikeda's tone was very respectful. After all, the person inside was a Japanese general.
Although this Japanese general had just arrived in Tianjin and his previous situation was not that good, isn't it good now?
What's more, David Ikeda plans to become Fukuda Akitake's confidant, so he has to behave better.
"Ikeda-kun, come and do it!"
Fukuda Mingwu's tone was very gentle. After all, he had just arrived in Tianjin and had no confidants, so he naturally wanted to win people's hearts.
Especially since he had just received news that David Ikeda seemed to have found important clues and captured two white men.
This situation was a good thing for Fukuda Mingwu and could even open up a breakthrough, so he took it very seriously and couldn't wait to find David Ikeda.
"Hi!"
Seeing Fukuda Akitake's gentle attitude, David Ikeda was secretly happy and immediately took a few steps forward and sat down on the chair next to him.
"Ikeda-kun, I heard that you captured two white men and led a large group of people out just now?"
As soon as David Ikeda sat down, Akitake Fukuda asked this question, with a bit of urgency in his tone.
"Yes, Your Excellency General, these two white men were both officials of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce in the former concession and disappeared after the incident.
As for the reason why I took people out, I learned about a military stronghold and wanted to capture some anti-Japanese elements."
David Ikeda responded immediately, his tone was very clear, and the content of his answer was clearly formulated.
"Have you caught the military commander?"
Fukuda Mingwu was most concerned about this matter, so he continued to ask.
"It's a humble job and incompetent. After we got there, there was no one left.
We found some documents and a large amount of controlled substances."
David Ikeda's tone was a little low, but he didn't look discouraged and seemed to be full of fighting spirit.
"No one from the military commander was caught!"
Fukuda Mingwu said to himself, as if he was a little disappointed.
However, Fukuda Akitake calmed down quickly, and then asked: "Have you found any clues?"
Although no one was caught alive, finding a stronghold is also a major achievement. Especially under the current circumstances, this achievement is even more valuable. Fukuda Akitake will naturally continue to investigate.
"Your Excellency General, I found some documents. I don't know what they contain yet. Maybe I can find something."
David Ikeda immediately talked about the documents. After all, these things can prove that East Asia Trading House is indeed a military control base.
After a pause, he continued: "In addition, a large number of controlled items were found in East Asia Trading House, which is also a clue that can be traced."
What David Ikeda said was naturally taught by Li Yunsheng, and the purpose was to let the Japanese continue to investigate.
After all, the trading partners of East Asia Trading House are all Japanese and traitors, not any patriots.
As for how to explain these unlucky ghosts, it is none of Li Yunsheng's business. They are not good people anyway. If things go smoothly, the military commander will naturally cause some trouble for them.
“Great job!”
David Ikeda's answer made Fukuda Mingwu very satisfied, and a smile appeared on his face.
In addition, the abnormal behavior of David Ikeda during the first meeting also left some impression on Fukuda Akitake, which made him even more satisfied and thought he was an excellent talent.
"Thank you for the compliment, General. My subordinates will continue to investigate this matter and try to find more clues."
David Ikeda immediately expressed his stance, his tone was very humble, and he also showed a confident look.
Seeing David Ikeda's performance, Fukuda Akitake was very happy, nodded with a smile, and said a few words of encouragement.
After that, the two chatted for a while. David Ikeda reported how he captured the white man and the interrogation process. Finally, he explained that he was worried about an accident, so he went to arrest the person immediately.
The contents of David Ikeda's report were very reasonable, but Mingwu Fukuda thought of a doubt and said slowly: "After you arrested the person, you rushed to the East Asia Trading House not long ago. How could the military commander evacuate?
So fast……"
"this!"
David Ikeda frowned and immediately began to think, seeming to have noticed something unusual...
