The man who was beaten by Hattori Hikoo was named Kondo Akira. He was nominally the owner of the Red Bridge Martial Arts Hall, but was actually the person in charge of the Black Dragon Club in the Yanjin area. Some matters that were inconvenient for the Japanese military to come forward were left to them in secret.
To do it, similar to the Youth Gang in China.
Of course, the Youth Gang has split into two factions in China. One faction is patriotic people like Mr. Du who donate money and aircraft and cannons. The other faction is the traitors headed by Zhang Xiaolin who sell their country for glory and openly surrender to the enemy. Yuan Wenkui also belongs to the latter group.
Representative figures.
Hattori Hikoo looked at Akira Kondo coldly: "Kondo-kun, you have betrayed my trust in you!"
Akira Kondo lowered his head in shame: "Yes!..."
As soon as the door of the emergency room rang, the doctor walked out. Hattori Hikoo didn't bother scolding Akira Kondo and walked over quickly: "Dr. Oshima, did the special envoy's surgery go well?"
Doctor Oshima took off his mask, sighed and shook his head: "Although the special envoy's gunshot wound was not fatal, the bullet was coated with poison, so... I'm sorry!"
Upon hearing these words, the corridor fell into deathly silence.
…………
After three consecutive days of large-scale manhunts and joint military and police operations, a total of hundreds of people were arrested. More than half of them were men with pockmarks on their faces. After preliminary screening, those who were cleared of suspicion had to find a guarantor before they could be released. The rest
All must undergo strict interrogation by the gendarmerie.
The interrogation room of the Gendarmerie was like a gate to hell. You could never get out of No. 13 Plum Blossom Lane without peeling off a layer of skin.
The interrogation was led by Kako Nakamura. His torture methods scared even the Japanese soldiers, let alone the victims. Especially at night, even standing outside the yard, one could hear frightening sounds.
Howl.
In the captain's room, Hattori Hikoo was sitting on a chair, with one hand on his forehead, frowning and meditating with his eyes closed. More than twenty people had been interrogated, but there was still no progress in the case.
"Ring ring ring ring ring!" The phone on the table suddenly rang.
Hattori Hikoo reached out and picked up the phone: "Hello? (Japanese)"
"Excuse me, is this Major Hattori? I'm Zhou Renjie from the detective team."
"Captain Zhou, what's the matter? (Chinese)"
"Major Hattori, my people found a suspicious person in Xicheng..."
Hattori Hikoo interrupted him impatiently: "Come and tell me about such a trivial matter? Arrest when necessary, and try when necessary. Don't you think the military police are not chaotic enough?"
"Major, please listen to my explanation. This person's situation is somewhat special, so I have to ask for your permission."
"Why is it special?"
"He stayed at the Asia Hotel. As you know, the detective team cannot arrest people in the hotel."
"Oh, I see……"
The Asia Hotel is invested and operated by the Japanese, and the guests who can stay there are either rich or expensive, either Japanese, or people with profound backgrounds. No wonder the detective team dare not act rashly.
Hattori Hikoo's tone softened a little: "When did this happen?"
"On the day when His Majesty the Emperor's special envoy had an accident, our people lost him from the pier, then started to set up a checkpoint and search, and finally found that he had checked into the Asia Hotel."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
"I thought that if he could come out of the hotel, I wouldn't have to disturb you. Who would have thought that this guy would hide in the room and refuse to come out."
"What's suspicious about him?"
"He had a suitcase. During a routine inspection, he found that it was filled with some personal clothes, but it felt very heavy to carry. At that time, our people did not alert him and kept following him in the dark. This guy's anti-tracking ability is very good.
Strong, he actually got rid of our people in less than ten minutes."
"So there's something wrong with that box..."
"Yes, I suspect that the box has a mezzanine, and there may be other contraband hidden inside."
"……What's his name?"
"The name on the good citizen certificate is Yang Feng, and he is from Shimen, Hebei."
"Which room does he live in?"
"Room 86 on the fourth floor."
"Don't touch him yet, continue to monitor him. If there is indeed a problem with this person, someone will definitely come to him to contact him, and then we will take him down in one fell swoop!"
"yes!"
As soon as Hattori Hikoo put down the phone, there was a loud bang on the door, and Hattori Mina jumped in and said, "Brother."
Hattori Hikoo: "I haven't been to the military police station for half a month. I leave early and come back late at home. What are you busy with all day?"
Hattori Mina pouted and said, "You're here all day long, howling like ghosts, like hell. I'm afraid I'll have nightmares at night if I hear too much."
"Then why did you come here today?"
"I was worried that you had forgotten, so I came here to remind you."
"Remind me of what?"
"Humph, you really forgot! Invite Officer Jiang to dinner!"
Hattori Hikoo has been very busy these days due to the assassination of Takao Viebo, and has long forgotten about it. After hearing what his sister said, he remembered that today is the weekend.
"Mina, I really can't find time to hunt for spies these days... Well, do you think this is a good idea? You can inform Officer Jiang and ask for this meal at another time..."
"No! Brother, you are so disrespectful to the person who saved your sister! How long can a meal delay you? Besides, how can I have the nerve to tell Officer Jiang that it will be another day!"
Hattori Hikoo frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Okay then, I'll call the hotel and book a private room."
Hattori Hikoo stretched out his hand and scratched his sister's nose, and said with a smile: "You're so clever, it turns out you made arrangements a long time ago!"
He raised his wrist and glanced at his watch: "It's five o'clock now... let's go. The people who are treating us should arrive first."
"No military uniforms allowed!"
"Why?"
"No reason, you're not going to see the commander, why do you have to dress so conservatively?"
"Okay then, you wait for me in the car for a while, and I'll come back after changing my clothes."
"Hurry up." Hattori Mina walked out happily.
Hattori Hikoo thought for a moment, then picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Kondo-kun, please take a few people with you and wait for me at the Asia Hotel..."
The Asia Hotel is located in Minister Lane, which used to be the most prosperous area of Yanjin, with embassies from various countries nearby. After the Pearl Harbor incident, the British and American embassies closed one after another, and the original site became the Puppet Manchukuo Embassy and the Japanese Embassy.
The hotel is a five-story building originally called the Eurasia Hotel. The owner was an American. After the war between Japan and the United States, the Japanese army forcibly expropriated the hotel and then "sold" it to a Japanese consortium and changed its name to the Asia Hotel.
Most of the guests staying here are Japanese. As time goes by, businessmen from other countries gradually increase in number, because there is an advantage to living here. At least you don't have to worry about being harassed by spies for no reason.
