Because of the fire in the East Asia Trading House, the Japanese search was slower, but Nagayama Tetsuo did not find any clues and could only ask David Ikeda for instructions on what to do.
David Ikeda had already guessed that the East Asia Trading Company would not leave any clues, so he adopted Nagayama Tetsuo's suggestion.
Even if the current Japanese military conducts extensive searches, David Ikeda knows that they will definitely not be able to find any clues and is not worried about any surprises.
His only purpose was to take advantage of this incident and deal with Hase Nokkisu, so he began to think about what to do.
"Sir, where should we investigate?"
Yongshan Tiesheng's abilities are average and he has been working in the headquarters, so he has very little experience in this area.
Coupled with the fact that he didn't get any clues from his previous proposal, Nagayama Tetsuo felt unconfident, so he asked a senior like David Ikeda for instructions.
After all, David Ikeda has been in Tianjin for many years and has been working in the intelligence agency, giving Nagayama Tesho a sense of reliability.
"Now we have two lines of investigation. The first is how the information of East Asia Trading Company was leaked.
The second is, where did the gasoline that burned down the East Asia Trading House come from?"
David Ikeda made two suggestions. After all, he had known for a long time that the East Asia Trading Guild would be burned down, so he naturally considered how to deal with the aftermath.
"Sir, you are wise!"
Nagayama Tetsuo immediately complimented him and looked a little excited. After all, David Ikeda gave him the direction so that he could continue the investigation.
Especially the second proposal, Yongshan Tiesheng took it very seriously, because gasoline is a controlled item, and it is difficult for any anti-Japanese forces to obtain it.
The person who burned down the East Asia Trading House used a large amount of gasoline. As long as we start investigating the source of the gasoline, there will definitely be some clues.
Seeing Nagayama Tetsuo's expression, David Ikeda felt disdainful. He naturally knew that his two proposals were only theoretically feasible and would not yield any results at all.
Moreover, the second suggestion put forward by David Ikeda had other purposes, because within the Military Police, the person in charge of logistics dispatch was Hase Nobuyasu.
"You go investigate the source of gasoline, and I will personally investigate the leakage of the information..."
David Ikeda immediately divided the labor. This was also to make it easier to frame Hase Tokuyasu. After all, Hase Tokuyasu would definitely know the logistics information.
"Hi!"
Yongshan Tiesheng responded immediately and then took people to the logistics department.
After Nagayama Tesheng left, David Ikeda investigated some more situations and took the people away.
Neither of them waited for the results of the large-scale search, because they knew that such a large-scale search would yield few clues.
Because the military commander who did this matter acted in a very orderly manner and will definitely take care of the aftermath.
In order to put out the fire, the Japanese deployed a large number of troops, which delayed the search.
The combination of these two points made the two men understand that it would be difficult to find anything in the search.
——
David Ikeda, who left the East Asia Trading Company, immediately returned to the Military Police. Regardless of whether it was still late at night, he immediately began to investigate the people who knew about bacterial weapons.
There were only four or five Japanese officers in the military police force who knew that the East Asia Trading Company had bacterial weapons.
In addition to Fukuda Akitake, Ikeda David talked to the remaining Japanese officers, but did not get any clues.
David Ikeda himself was the one who leaked the secret, so he naturally knew that nothing would be revealed by asking.
The reason why he was like this was just for show. After all, there was Fukuda Akitake above David Ikeda. Even if he wanted to frame Hase Nobuyasu, he still had to give him a reasonable explanation.
At seven o'clock in the morning, David Ikeda, who had been busy all night, came to the military police captain's office.
First, he reported the aftermath of last night to Fukuda Akitake, and then said: "General, I have investigated the insiders of East Asia Trading Company, but they all assured that no information was leaked..."
Having said this, David Ikeda's face showed some embarrassment, and finally he gritted his teeth and said solemnly: "But the East Asia Trading House was burned down by anti-Japanese elements, and the other party's goal was clear, so they must have accurate information.
So I think there is only one possibility in this matter, that is, there is a high possibility of a traitor among these people."
After a pause, he added: "Maybe they are not traitors, but there must be traitors around them."
As soon as David Ikeda finished speaking, Akitake Fukuda nodded and said in agreement: "You are right, but who will this person be?"
Fukuda Akitake had long suspected that there were informants of the anti-Japanese forces within the Japanese military.
David Ikeda's investigation and what happened last night proved this, so he would naturally not doubt it.
"Sir, we can't determine who this person is, but we can control all the insiders and investigate slowly."
David Ikeda made a suggestion, his tone was very cold, and he even showed a look that he would rather kill the wrong person than let it go.
"No, these people are the backbone of the empire, we can't do this!"
Fukuda Akitake immediately rejected the proposal. After all, the people who knew that bacterial weapons were in the East Asia trading house were all powerful figures in the military police. We could not take measures against them just because of the slightest suspicion.
This is also because Fukuda Akitake has just arrived and his foundation is not stable. If he does this, the following days will be difficult.
Fukuda Akitake's refusal did not surprise David Ikeda. His proposal was just for show, and he had already guessed that Fukuda Akitake would not agree.
"General, since we can't control them, we can only monitor them secretly!"
David Ikeda gave another method, which is also his real purpose, because monitoring other powerful people will bring him some benefits.
"You can do whatever you want, but be careful not to let them find out that you are causing panic."
This time Fukuda Akitake didn't refuse. After all, there was a traitor inside. If he didn't find the traitor, he, the military police captain, would have trouble sleeping and eating.
"Hi!"
David Ikeda responded immediately and felt a little excited in his heart. He didn't expect to achieve a goal so easily.
Just then, I heard footsteps outside the office.
"Dang, Dang, Dang..."
Then there was another knock on the door, and after Fukuda Akitake said, "Please come in," Nagayama Tetsuo, dressed in military uniform, walked in from outside.
"Your Majesty General, I just went to the logistics unit to investigate and discovered an anomaly. The two trucks sent to the county did not return yesterday.
I contacted the county again, and they did not receive a supply of gasoline yesterday, which proves that the gasoline was robbed.
The fire at East Asia Trading House was caused by gasoline, which proves that the person who robbed the gasoline was the murderer of this incident!"
Yongshan Tiesheng's tone was a little urgent, and the expression on his face was very fierce. He thought bitterly in his heart that if these damn logistics troops had discovered the abnormality earlier, so many things wouldn't have happened last night...
"What are you talking about, that such a thing could happen?"
Fukuda Akitake's face changed, and his voice rose a bit. He was very angry at first glance, as if he was about to explode at any time.
