Different from the ordinary security functions of the police station, the detective team is a special service department directly under the military police. It has access to more confidential information. Jiang Xinyu was secretly happy, but pretended to be hesitant on the surface.
"What, you don't want to join the detective team?" Hattori Hikoo asked.
"I have been working in the police station for so many years. I am worried that I will not be able to do well if I suddenly change places."
"The police station and the detective team are essentially the same. You have a clear mind and are steady in your work. The most important thing is that the captain of the detective team must be someone who is absolutely loyal to the empire. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood! I obey the Major's order." Jiang Xinyu stood up and stood at attention with both feet in salute.
Hattori Hikoo nodded and said, "It will take a few days for the formal appointment to be issued."
"Major, I have a request."
"explain."
"I want to bring someone over from the police station. He is Zhao Yuhu from the Anti-Smuggling Department."
"Is there anything surprising about him?"
"No, I just hope there is someone in the detective team who is particularly easy to use."
"Can."
"Thank you Major."
Hattori Hikoo looked at Jiang Xinyu and said, "I hope you are also someone I find particularly easy to use."
Jiang Xinyu bowed and said: "I will try my best to do it!"
"What do you think about Nakamura's matter?"
"Major Colonel, since Hase Hiroshi can basically conclude that he is a spy, and Nakamura Kako has close contacts with him, isn't that enough to explain the problem?"
"If he insists that he and Hase Hiroshi are just friends, and we don't have evidence that he is collaborating with the enemy, it will still be difficult to handle. I don't have to hide it from you. Nakamura's father is very powerful at the top, so there must be evidence for this matter.
Only if it is confirmed can we take him into the interrogation room!"
If you put it on someone else, even if there is no evidence, as long as you have an unexplained relationship with a spy, you will at least be dismissed from the military, or sent back to the country, or there will be further investigation.
Hattori Hikoo was worried that if he pressed too hard, Nakamura Kako would feel resentful and testify about his involvement in smuggling. In that case, he would probably be dismissed from his post.
"Report!"
"Come in."
Second Lieutenant Miyamoto opened the door and walked in, saying: "Major, we have discovered the situation on Qiaoxi Road."
"Oh? Did you find Lao Qiu?"
"Uh..." Lieutenant Miyamoto glanced at Jiang Xinyu and hesitated to speak.
Jiang Xinyu quickly stood up and said, "Major, I have something confidential to discuss, so I'll step aside for now."
"Originally, the detective team was monitoring the scene. You are the new captain of the detective team. It would be a good idea to listen to the situation. Mina told me that your Japanese has improved very quickly and you have no problem with general conversations. If there is anything you don't understand, I will tell you
Translate for you." Hattori Hikoo said with a smile.
"Yes." When Jiang Xinyu heard the word Lao Qiu, he was very surprised. Could it be that Lao Qiu was exposed?
Miyamoto said: "Major, someone from the detective team just called and said that they found three suspicious targets. One is a clerk from Wufuli Pharmacy, one is a doctor from Bumrungrad Hospital, and the other is a doctor from Huichun Tang Clinic...
…”
Hattori Hikoo guessed the scope of Lao Qiu's activities and sent spies all over Qiaoxi Road to pay attention to people who worked in pharmacies or were doctors. Zhou Renjie was originally responsible for this matter, but he was suddenly assassinated. The detective team could only
Report the situation to the gendarmerie.
Hattori Hikoo knew where Bumrungrad Hospital was, and he also knew that Wufuli was on Qiaoxi Road. The only thing he was unfamiliar with was the Huichun Tang Clinic, so he asked: "Where is the Huichun Tang Clinic?"
Miyamoto said: "Near Shuijing Alley."
Hattori Hikoo thought for a while and said, "How far is Shuijing Hutong from Qiaoxi Road?"
Jiang Xinyu said with a smile: "About five kilometers."
Hattori Hikoo said to Second Lieutenant Miyamoto: "What did this doctor do on Qiaoxi Road?"
Miyamoto: "He drank a pot of tea at a nearby teahouse, then hailed a rickshaw and left."
Hattori Hikoo thought for a while and said: "A doctor who is not working in the clinic went to a teahouse five kilometers away and drank a pot of tea alone?..."
Miyamoto said quickly: "Oh, I'm sorry, Major, I forgot to mention a place. After drinking tea, he went to Wufu Bookstore and bought some thread-bound books."
Jiang Xinyu added: "Wufu Bookstore is a very famous ancient bookstore. I heard that many ancient book lovers in Peiping go there to buy books."
Hattori Hikoo said, "Have you ever gone to Wufu Bookstore to buy books?"
Jiang Xinyu laughed and said: "Old books are so expensive. When I was a policeman, I couldn't afford them because I was so tight."
Hattori Hikoo thought for a while and said: "Then this doctor is a lover of ancient books and comes to Qiaoxi Road specifically to buy books?"
Miyamoto said: "In that case, can we rule him out of suspicion..."
"What's his name?"
"Sun Shiming."
"Second Lieutenant Miyamoto, have you ever thought about it. Assuming that Sun Shiming is not a lover of ancient books, but is just covering up his true purpose and means, do you think he can still be ruled out as a suspect?"
"Of course, if your hypothesis is true, Sun Shiming is probably Lao Qiu!"
"Even if my hypothesis is true, Sun Shiming is unlikely to be Lao Qiu. He lives in Shuijing Hutong, which is too far away from Qiao Jiancheng... However, he may be the one who came to meet Lao Qiu!"
Miyamoto said: "But the person in charge of surveillance said that Sun Shiming had no contact with anyone alone. He drank tea, bought books, and left in a car."
Hattori Hikoo turned to Jiang Xinyu and said, "Why do you think it is?"
"It should be that the person responsible for surveillance was discovered, so they stopped the contact." Jiang Xinyu knew that Hattori Hikoo already had the answer in his mind and just wanted to test himself.
Hattori Hikoo nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's right. Second Lieutenant Miyamoto, Sun Shiming must be closely monitored and arrested if necessary!"
"Yes." Miyamoto turned around and walked out.
Hattori Hikoo looked at Jiang Xinyu and said, "Do you know who Lao Qiu is?"
"We know that this person is the leader of the Yanjin underground party. The police station has been investigating him for many years, but we still don't know who this person is."
Hattori Hikoo sighed: "I have been looking for him for many years without any clues. This time I finally found some clues. I hope you won't disappoint me..."
Seeing that Jiang Xinyu was extremely anxious, judging from the current situation, Sun Shiming was basically half exposed. Even if he could finally get rid of the suspicion, he would become the target of intense surveillance by the enemy in the future. For an intelligence agent, there was no need to continue to lurk.
Although I don’t know who Qiao Jiancheng is, there is no doubt that he is a traitor to the underground party. How much does he know? Is Lao Qiu in danger?
